    "What's wrong with me? Here is where?"

    With a splitting headache, Feng Xiang gradually opened his eyes. After being familiar with the long-lost light, Feng Xiang raised his head with difficulty. What he could see was an antique medium-sized room.  Furniture such as chairs and flower stands are also clearly Ming and Qing styles.  Feng Xiang was puzzled at first, thinking that I seemed to be hit by a car when I was crossing the street outside the gate of Hengdian Film and Television City, what happened next?  Where am I now?

    Feng Xiang was really confused. As a top student in the Chemical Engineering Department of Zhejiang University, he and a group of classmates went to Dongyang's Hengdian Film and Television City this morning for a tour.  After taking a lot of photos with the digital camera, the students who did not have enough pockets ended their visit and began to return to the camp and return to school.  But just as he was leaving Hengdian Film and Television City and crossing the road, a car running through a red light suddenly rushed over. Feng Xiang, who had a chance to avoid the front of the car, pushed a classmate who was too late to react, but the classmate was pushed by Feng Xiang.  After driving away, Feng Xiang himself was hit head-on by the car, and flew into the air directly, and then Feng Xiang didn't know anything.

    Recalling this, Feng Xiang's heart suddenly moved, and he thought that I was knocked unconscious by a car and sent to the film and television city by my classmates?  But it's not right, if I was knocked unconscious, Lao Sun and the others should send me to the hospital for emergency treatment?  Why send it to the film and television city, there is no doctor here?  Besides, does this film and television city also have a first-aid room?  But even if there is, why is there no medical equipment here?

    "Old Sun, Old Sun, Ao Dabao, Ao Dabao." Although his stomach was full of doubts, Feng Xiang still called out the names of the students, wanting to find out from them.  Fortunately, Feng Xiang's call was quickly answered, and the carved door was pushed open with a creak, and a young man in his twenties walked in, holding a wooden plate in his hand,  There is a medicine bowl on the plate.  Taking a closer look at the young man's attire, Feng Xiang immediately opened his mouth wide, so surprised that he even forgot the severe headache!

    There was a reason for Feng Xiang's surprise. Not only was the young man who came in with the medicine bowl not one of Feng Xiang's classmates, even though his appearance was fairly decent, his temperament was so wretched, and what made Feng Xiang the most  What was dumbfounded was that the young man in front of him was still wearing a pigtail with a money mouse tail¡ªthat is, his entire head was bald, except for a small braid that was not much thicker than a mouse tail in the middle of his head!  Shocked, Feng Xiang blurted out: "I said buddy, aren't you too dedicated? To earn a few lunches for making movies and TV shows, and make your hair like this, you won't be afraid that your girlfriend will kick you  ?¡±

    "Master Feng, what did you say?" The young man with a mouse tail was more surprised than Feng Xiang, and asked with an authentic Yunnan accent: "What box lunch? What girlfriend kicked me?"

    "Master Feng?" Feng Xiang was even more confused, thinking that my surname is Feng (Feng), which is good, but no one ever called me Young Master Feng?  Thinking up to this point, Feng Xiang suddenly remembered one more thing. There are endless Qing palace dramas in the country, but in order to cover up the shame and beautify the foreign invaders, those Qing palace dramas and the characters in Qing palace dramas are all wearing magic whips in the middle and late stages.  The big braids that just appeared, there is no such thing as the brain-dead Qing palace drama. The Qing palace drama restores the real history, allowing the Han people who were enslaved and oppressed by foreign races to wear real money rat tails-what is it not to smear the face of the gods?  Thinking of this, Feng Xiang screamed even louder, "Who are you? Why do you have such braids? Where is this? Why am I here?"

    "Master Feng, did you fall off your horse and break your head?" The young man with a rat-tailed money was very nervous, and hurried over to put down the medicine bowl, and touched Feng Xiang's forehead while saying, "Master Feng, you don't feel well there."  ? Do you remember me? I am Erlang, and I am your servant Xiao Erlang, you don¡¯t even remember me?¡±

    "Erlang? My servant Xiao Erlang?" Feng Xiang became more and more confused the more he heard it. He was puzzled by the words of the young man with a mouse tail who called himself Erlang, but also felt that Erlang was very kind.  Like the family members he was too familiar with, Feng Xiang was even more surprised that Xiao Erlang spoke with an authentic Yunnan accent, but he didn't feel the slightest dialect barrier, as if he had been familiar with it since he was a child.  This accent is average?  !  Thinking of this, Feng Xiang's body trembled, and he suddenly remembered a big thing - what he said just now seemed to be an incomparably authentic Yunnan accent?  !

    "I, who am I? Where am I?" A series of strange things happened, and Feng Xiang's head, which was already in pain, almost exploded. He jumped up from the bed and hugged his head.  Shouting, "Tell me, who am I? How can I speak Yunnan dialect? Where is this? My fellowXiang Xiang sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Come on, just come. If you come, you will be safe. Since it is the sixth year of Kangxi in the braided dynasty, the big traitor Wu Sangui and the bearded traitor Obai should not be dead yet. The variables in the braided dynasty are still there  A lot, I still have a chance to cut off this pig's tail." After sighing, Feng Xiang's chubby face showed some smiles, and he whispered in his heart: "From now on, I will be called Lu Yifeng.  , Lu Yifeng."

    "Next, what should I do as Lu Yifeng, the selection official for the West?" Feng Xiang thought carefully, "Since I have come to this era, how should I choose? To join Wu Sangui and help Wu Sangui raise troops against the Qing Dynasty?  Do you want to be an obedient citizen honestly, and sell Wu Sangui when he rises up in the future, and live your whole life in the court of God?  , Expel the Tartars? Or, I don¡¯t seek refuge with anyone, and work alone? But I am a small seventh-rank county magistrate, with no family background and no backing, and the governing of Qujing is still under Wu Sangui¡¯s nose, can I do it alone?¡±

 Chapter 2 Lu Yifeng

    ?

    (ps: Newcomers and new books are newly uploaded, please ask for points, votes and collections. There will be an update at 12 o'clock tonight, hitting the new book list next week!)

    Lu Yifeng, twenty-five years old, a native of Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province, has been engaged in business for generations. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, he basically monopolized the jade and medicinal material business in Dali Prefecture.  A business was severely damaged, a large number of shops were looted during the war, and the business plummeted. Although Lu Yifeng's dead ghost father transferred a large amount of property in time, he still couldn't accept the blow of dozens of shops being looted by the rebels in turn.  In addition, part of the family property that was too late to be transferred was also extorted by the local officials appointed by the Manchu Qing. Father Lu became ill and died in the 17th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty.  Before he died, Lu's father left a prophecy to his only son Lu Yifeng, who was only 16 years old at the time, "Stop doing business, and become an official. Only when you become an official will you have a good life! Otherwise, no matter how big the business is, you will end up with the same.  The fat sheep slaughtered by officials."

    Not to mention, Lu Yifeng, who was pampered and spoiled since he was a child, really listened to his father. After burying his father, he picked up the books in accordance with his last words, studied and studied to prepare for the exam, but Lu Yifeng's talent is too mediocre.  It took three years to pass the exam, and even the exam for a scholar failed for five years. In the end, because of the lack of students who took the exam, the examiner was lucky enough to pick it up from the waste papers to make up the number, and became a mite.  .  During this period, Lu Yifeng's mother passed away unfortunately, and his betrothed fiancee also died of illness before marriage. Lu Yifeng became a lone star of the gods.  But fortunately, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. Relying on the gold, silver and jewels that his father moved quickly to save, Lu Yifeng is still quite well-off financially. At the same time, with the growth of age and experience, Lu Yifeng gradually understands  In order to become an official, you don't necessarily have to rely on the principles of the right path of the imperial examination, and he understands that he is really not a material for studying, so Lu Yifeng made up his mind to send five thousand taels of silver to Wu Sanguici, the king of Pingxi, through the connections left by his father.  In the hands of his son Wu Yingqi, he finally bought a real shortage of the magistrate of Qujing County in Yunnan, and became a glorious member of hundreds of Western election officials in this era!

    There are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. When Lu Yifeng came to Kunming City from Dali Mansion with 20 or 30 family members satisfied, and was about to see Wu Sangui take up his post and go to Qujing County to smash the bone, suck the marrow and scrape the land.  In front of the door, the horse Lu Yifeng was riding was frightened and ran wildly. Unfortunately, Lu Yifeng fell into a coma.  The young cynic of the century, Feng Xiang.

    I stayed in the best Gaopeng Hotel in Kunming City for two days. Feng Xiang, oh, should be called Lu Yifeng now. The new Lu Yifeng gradually got rid of the sequelae of headaches caused by falling from the horse, and gradually found the old man in his mind.  The memory left by Lu Yifeng has grasped the various situations of the old Lu Yifeng's family and the words and deeds of this era, and finally officially integrated into the role of Lu Yifeng.  On the twelfth day of the ninth month, Lu Yifeng, who made up his mind to become the magistrate of Qujing County first, brought Erlang and other 20 or 30 servants to the foot of Wuhua Mountain where Prince Pingxi's mansion is located, and prepared to select officials according to the requirements of the West.  Rules first went to meet Wu Sangui, listened to Wu Sangui's instructions, then went to the capital to meet the braided braids who ate bran and drank pockmarked pockmarks, and finally returned to Qujing, Yunnan Province to officially take office.

    Mount Wuhua is located in the northern suburbs of Kunming. The building on the top of the mountain was originally the Imperial Palace of Emperor Yongli of the former Ming Dynasty. After Wu Sangui took over Yunnan, he took it over unceremoniously. After repairs and reconstructions, it became Wu Sangui's Pingxi Palace.  A great place with a beautiful view.  But it is a pity that this is not the 21st century, and you can go up to Wuhua Mountain for a tour with a few tickets for a small amount of money, so after arriving at the foot of Wuhua Mountain, Feng Xiang can only dismount according to the rules and report to Wu Sangui, who is guarding the foot of the mountain.  The general of the army submitted an official document, requesting Wu Sangui to be interviewed.

    After waiting for nearly an hour under the scorching sun at the foot of the mountain, a messenger finally came down from Wuhua Mountain, and shouted impatiently: "That is Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Qujing County, Yunnan? Come out!"  , Feng Xiang, who was about to get oily from the sun, hurried forward and replied: "General, the next official is Lu Yifeng."

    "Prince Pingxi is not free, you can go back, and come to kowtow again another day." The messenger didn't even bother to look at Feng Xiang, and just waved away impatiently - there is no way, let alone Feng Xiang is just an unofficial person.  Even if Feng Xiang has become the county magistrate of Qujing, he will not get any good looks here. After all, the county magistrate is just a seventh-rank official who is as big as a sesame seed and mung bean.  And although Feng Xiang was not in a hurry to meet the notorious traitor Wu Sangui, but in order to avoid going wrong, Feng Xiang still asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask the general, I don't know if Prince Pingxi told me when will the younger one come to kowtow?  "

    "The prince didn't say anything, you can figure it out yourself!" The orderly replied angrily.  Feng Xiang was not stupid, so he hurriedly asked Erlang to take out two taels of silver and stuff it into the legendary box.?: "Erlang, I'll take people back to the Gaopeng Inn first. You can take a few literate servants to Kunming City and buy a copy of the imperial palace newspapers from the last few months.  Get a copy of all the palace newspapers that are circulated in the imperial court and distributed all over the country."

    "Di Bao? Master Feng, don't you never read this thing? What are you buying it for?" Erlang asked, scratching his head.  Feng Xiang smiled and replied: "What are you doing? Of course to see what kind of illness Prince Pingxi is suffering from."

    The so-called mansion newspaper is actually an ancient newspaper. Since the Song Dynasty, businessmen have copied and printed this thing for profit. It is not difficult for Xiao Erlang to collect it with his servants. He just needs to collect all the mansion newspapers within this year.  It took some time, so it was not until the evening of that day that Xiao Erlang sent the thick stack of mansion newspapers back to the Gaopeng Inn, and Feng Xiang didn't even finish his dinner, so he immediately went into the room with the stack of mansion newspapers  Read at night with the lights on.  Seeing Feng Xiang's concentration, Erlang, who grew up in Lu's family, couldn't help sighing, "If Master Feng had worked so hard earlier, let alone a scholar, I'm afraid he would have passed the examination for Jinshi Juren."

    In the early morning of the next day, when Erlang and his servants were still sleeping on the bunk under the package, the door of the room was kicked open suddenly. Erlang struggled to sit up and took a look, but saw his own Young Master Lu rushing in with red eyes.  After entering the door, he shouted: "Get up for me, pack up your things and go to Wuhua Mountain, hurry up."

    "Master Feng, the genius just dawned, so there's no need to be in such a hurry, right?" Erlang yawned and said, "I'm sure you won't be able to see Prince Pingxi if you go so early. Let's wait until after breakfast."

    "It's okay, I will definitely see King Pingxi this time." Feng Xiang said confidently: "Isn't King Pingxi sick? I'm going today to treat him."

    "Cure? Master Feng, when did you learn how to cure?" Erlang was taken aback.  Feng Xiang smiled and replied: "I just learned it last night. Although I am not very sure, if I want to be appreciated and reused by King Pingxi, I have to gamble." (Remember this website website:  www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 3 Treatment also requires risking life

    (ps: Pure newcomers and pure new books are newly uploaded, please click, recommend and collect support.)

    "Master Feng, you should think about it. Going to treat Prince Pingxi is not a joke." Although Feng Xiang forcibly dragged him to the foot of Wuhua Mountain, he saw that Feng Xiang was going to negotiate with the guards of Prince Pingxi's mansion.  The loyal Xiao Erlang still grabbed Feng Xiang's sleeve, and said nervously: "Master Feng, it's okay if you cured Prince Pingxi's illness, but if you can't, then the consequences will be unimaginable. Losing the official position  Dismissal, I'm afraid it's still a good idea, if you don't do it well, you will lose your head! Master Feng, do you know this?"

    "Of course I know this." Feng Xiang, who was nicknamed "Feng Gudan" in college, was not at all nervous, and said calmly: "But if I don't take this risk, I'm afraid I will be the order of a seventh-rank county magistrate at most in this life."  Well, life and death, honor and disgrace, are all decided by others. If you want to get ahead, at least you have to make a name first, leave an impression on those princes and dignitaries, and only then can you hope to realize your lifelong ambitions."

    "But Master Feng, you are joking with your own life!" Xiao Erlang was also anxious, and persuaded: "Master Feng, why don't we take this risk, and wait until Prince Pingxi is in better health before going to kowtow?"  , and then go to Qujing to serve as Dangzhi County, even if the official is a little smaller, you can still scrape land for money, even if you get less, it¡¯s better than killing people! You don¡¯t know, Young Master Feng, that Prince Pingxi has killed countless people in his life.  Killing us is as easy as crushing an ant!"

    "That's right, young master, it's better not to take this risk." The other family members of the Lu family persuaded them. They also hoped to follow Feng Xiang to Qujing County to make money, but they didn't want to see Feng Xiang as his backer.  Just fell down.  But no matter how sincerely and falsely these servants tried to dissuade Feng Xiang, he just refused to listen, and insisted on saying: "You don't understand, my starting point is so low, if I don't take this gamble, I won't be able to become the magistrate of Qujing County in the future.  How long have you had a good time?"

    Pushing away Erlang and other family servants, Feng Xiang strode to the intersection of the upper mountain at the foot of Wuhua Mountain. Coincidentally, the leader of the guards on duty at the intersection today happened to be the captain of the guard who took Feng Xiang's money yesterday, so there was no  When Feng Xiang opened his mouth, the captain of the guards took the initiative to say: "Master Lu, I'm really sorry, you have to make another trip for nothing today. The prince's condition has worsened today, and even the governor of Yunnan and the admiral were refused to see him."  Now, go back and wait for a few more days."

    "General Chen, I'm not here to kowtow to Prince Pingxi today." Feng Xiang shook his head, and then said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, General Chen, to send someone to report to Prince Pingxi, saying that the official is here to treat his illness today.  There is a panacea in the hands of the official, as long as Prince Pingxi is willing to use this medicine, the disease will be cured and the golden body will be healed!"

    "Are you here to treat the prince?" The captain of the guard surnamed Chen was also startled, looked around quickly, and said to Feng Xiang in a low voice: "Master Lu, this matter is not a joke, I am doing it for your own good  , the prince is not in good health these days, he also has a bad temper. Last night he killed a servant of the palace. If you say something, you can¡¯t cure the prince¡¯s illness. Not only will you lose your head, but I will also follow you  implicated!"

    "General Chen, please don't worry, I'm only twenty-five years old, I'm still young, and I don't want to die." Feng Xiang said with a smile: "So General Chen, you can just pass on the word, the official won't make fun of his own head."

    "Really? Master Lu, are you really joking?" The captain of the guard looked up and down suspiciously at Feng Xiang, and saw that although Feng Xiang's fat, white and ordinary face was full of kind smiles, his black and white eyes were clear.  Very firm, seems to be very confident.  Feng Xiang replied with a smile: "Of course I'm not joking, General Chen can just inform the officer. If the officer cures the prince's illness, the general will share the merits too, right?" Feng Xiang said again.  He took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into the hand of the captain of the guard.

    "Then well, I'll report for you." The captain of the guard gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and added: "But I'm ugly to say, if you can't cure Prince Pingxi's illness, the prince will kill you in a rage.  I can't save you, and if you're a ghost, don't come to me."

    "That goes without saying, of course." Feng Xiang laughed and agreed.  The captain of the bodyguard gritted his teeth again, and then explained the errand of guarding the intersection up the mountain, and ran up to Wuhua Mountain to report in person.  But after Feng Xiang waited at the foot of the mountain for half an hour, the captain of the guard came down the mountain again dejectedly, and said to Feng Xiang: "Master Lu, it's not that I don't help you, it's the second prince who told you to get out."

    "The second prince told me to fuck off, why?" Feng Xiang was a little confused. In Feng Xiang's memory, although Wu Sangui's second son, Wu Yingqi, was of mediocre talent, Wu Sangui's loyalty and filial piety were absolutely worth mentioning, even after Wu Sangui claimed to be the Emperor of the Great Zhou  When you are about to die of illness, takeOne of them should have the same interests as him, and Feng Xiang respected Liu Xuanchu as an old man and an ancient man, so he hurriedly brought twenty or thirty servants to kneel down together, kowtowed and said: "Junior Lu Yifeng, lead the servants to kowtow to Mr. Liu Xuanchu,  Mister Wanfu Jinan."

    "No, no, Master Lu, please hurry up." Liu Xuanchu obviously didn't have any airs, so he helped Feng Xiang himself, looked Feng Xiang up and down, nodded and said: "Yes, he is indeed a young hero, Master Lu is so young  The old man was a little surprised. The old man thought that the person who could see the root of the prince's illness should be at least a middle-aged scribe in his thirties or forties. He couldn't have imagined that Mr. Lu was still so young. He really can't be judged by his appearance.  The sea is immeasurable."

    "Mr. Liu has won the prize, and it's just a coincidence that I'm an official." Feng Xiang pretended to be modest, and asked again: "Mr. Liu, I wonder if Prince Pingxi agrees to meet the official once, and ask the official to diagnose his pulse and treat his illness?"

    "If the lord doesn't want to meet you, I won't come down the mountain to greet you personally." Liu Xuanchu laughed, pulled Feng Xiang's hand, and said in greeting, "Master Lu, please, I will take you to see the lord in person." Feng Xiang was overjoyed  Hurry up and leave Erlang and other servants waiting at the foot of the mountain, while I follow Liu Xuanchu up the mountain to meet that old traitor Wu Sangui whose reputation is so bad that he can kill half of the people in the city¡ªit¡¯s really not easy!

    The way up the mountain was not all smooth sailing. When he was about halfway up the mountain, Liu Xuanchu suddenly stopped, looked sideways at Feng Xiang and asked, "Master Lu, I have a question for you, I hope you must answer it truthfully."

    "Mr. Liu, may I ask, this junior must know everything and talk endlessly." Feng Xiang replied honestly.  But the question Liu Xuanchu asked next almost frightened Feng Xiang, who was nicknamed brave enough, to death!  Liu Xuanchu asked: "Master Lu, are you a spy sent by the imperial court? If you tell the truth, I will definitely keep you safe. But if you plan to lie, I will not lie to you.  The guillotine and the executioner are ready for you."

    "Mr. Liu, what are you kidding?" Feng Xiang yelled at being wronged, and replied with a mournful face: "The junior is an elected official in the West, and he is a native of Dali Prefecture in Yunnan. He has never been out of Yunnan.  The spies here are spies?"

    "Of course I know about this." Liu Xuanchu said calmly, "It is precisely because the old man learned from the second prince that you are the official selected by him for the prince, a native of Dali Prefecture in Yunnan Province, so the old man urged the prince to meet you.  Otherwise, Wang Shirong has already suggested to the prince to execute Mr. Lu immediately, and there will be no future troubles."

    "Thank you, Mr. Liu." Feng Xiang broke out in a cold sweat. Only then did he realize that he had walked through the gate of hell again. He hurriedly bowed his hands to thank Liu Xuanchu, and then asked tremblingly: "Mr.  Why do you still suspect that this junior is an eyeliner or spy sent by the court?"

    "Since you are not a spy sent by the imperial court, how did you know that the prince is suffering from a heart disease?" Liu Xuanchu asked calmly, "You are a Dali scholar, an alternate county magistrate, and you have never been out of Yunnan, nor  How can you know about the prince¡¯s heart disease after having come into contact with the imperial court¡¯s secret memorials?¡±

    "Return to Mr. Liu, the younger generation judged from the palace report published by the imperial court this year." Feng Xiang replied honestly.  This time it was Liu Xuanchu who was taken aback. After a moment of shock, he asked in surprise: "The palace report publicly released by the court? Apart from a few excerpts from officials' memorials, there are also some news about emperors offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors. How can you get it from it?"  Do you know where the prince¡¯s heart disease is?"

    "It's very simple, analysis." Feng Xiang said quite proudly: "Mr. Liu doesn't know something. In fact, all kinds of so-called secrets can be figured out at least 80% from public channels. The younger generation relies on these seemingly trivial things.  The details have analyzed the prince's heart disease."

    "Oh, the old man needs to ask for advice." Liu Xuanchu asked: "Lord Lu, have you analyzed the prince's heart disease from those trivial details?"

    "Return to Mr. Liu, before April this year, among the twenty-one mansion reports issued by the imperial court, seven of them were related to Yunnan and Guizhou affairs." Feng Xiang was not modest, and replied truthfully: "Four of the mansion reports mentioned Yunnan and Guizhou.  The weather in the area is smooth, the border troubles are eliminated, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe; in the other three, two mention the naturalization of the chieftain of Yunnan and Guizhou and accept the jurisdiction of the court;  The military pay needs to be more than three million yuan, of which the local tax revenue only accounts for one-tenth of the expenditure, and the rest of the expenditure must be provided by other provinces. The expenditure is really huge, so I request the imperial court to abolish some of the Yunnan-Guizhou garrison and reduce the number of Yunnan-Guizhou officials.  Use the fiscal expenditures of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces!"

    "But the residence newspaper also said that Wang Xu's memorial was refuted?" Liu Xuanchu asked with piercing eyes.  Feng Xiang smiled slightly, and replied: "Mr. Liu, since the imperial court refuted Wang Xu's memorial, why did it publish the contents in the mansion newspaper? In addition, the imperial mansion newspaper also said that border troubles in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces would be eradicated, and the chieftain would return to the palace."  Doesn¡¯t this imply that Yunnan and Guizhou provinces don¡¯t need so many garrisons anymore? Mr. Liu, this junior connects these things together with the news that the prince asked to hand over the governing power of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, students can still analyze  Can't you find out where the prince's heart disease is?"

    When Feng Xiang was explaining, Liu Xuanchu kept silent, and his pair of radiant eyes just stared at Feng Xiang's eyes, until Feng Xiang finished speaking, Liu Xuanchu stared at Feng Xiang's eyes for a long time, then nodded slightly  , and said: "Let's go, the old man will lead you to see the prince." After finishing speaking, Liu Xuanchu led the way without looking back, but Feng Xiang was in a state of turmoil, not knowing whether his explanation had passed the test, but just insisted.  Scalp followed Liu Xuanchu up the mountain.

    Arriving at the top of the mountain and entering the magnificent Pingxi Palace, Liu Xuanchu arranged for Feng Xiang to rest temporarily in the guest room in the front yard, and told Feng Xiang to wait patiently, while he entered the West Garden of Pingxi Palace alone.  After a long time, two guards finally came in, saluted Feng Xiang very politely and said, "Master Lu, please come with us, the prince will meet you at Lie Cui Xuan." Feng Xiang nodded, trying to calm down his heart  Excited and nervous, he went out with two guards and entered the palace garden in the west courtyard of Pingxi Palace.

    After walking for a long time along the winding marble path, Feng Xiang was led by two guards to a large piece of neat lawn. On the edge of the lawn was an unusually gorgeous pavilion. In the middle of the pavilion sat a person, five  At the age of more than ten years old, wearing a satin flat yellow robe, with a handsome face and a striking scar on the bridge of the nose; six or seven people sitting or standing on both sides, some old and some young, some handsome and some ugly, Wu Yingqi in the memory of Liu Xuanchu and Lu Yifeng  Among them, everyone was looking at Feng Xiang with strange eyes.  Feng Xiang first scolded a traitor in his heart, then quickly stepped forward and knelt down on both knees, kowtowed and said: "The humble magistrate of YunnanXiang, the bastard kicked to death.

    After finally laughing enough, Wu Sangui sat up straight, put away his smile and asked Feng Xiang seriously: "Lu Yifeng, I have read the pulse case you gave me, and I think it is good. Now I want to ask  You, what disease do you think this king is suffering from?"

    Feng Xiang didn't answer, but looked around first, Wu Sangui understood Feng Xiang's thoughts, and said lightly: "It's okay to be straightforward, those here are either my confidants, or my brothers or sons, they are reliable."

    "Then I'll talk about it." Feng Xiang cupped his hands, and said pretending to be panicked: "But before you tell the name of the prince's illness, you have to ask the prince to forgive me for the crime of offense."

    "Tell me, don't be wordy." Wu Sangui waved his hand with an impatient expression.  Feng Xiang clasped his fists in gratitude again, stood up straight, cleared his throat again, and then said seriously: "My lord, I think that you suffer from a disease of cowardice! In layman's terms, it's a disease of cowardice! A disease of cowardice!"

    "What?" Before Feng Xiang could finish his sentence, the faces of everyone present, including Liu Xuanchu, changed.  Wu Sangui was startled at first, then jumped up abruptly, and shouted with a livid face: "What did you say? I am cowardly? Cowardly?! When I went to the battlefield to kill people, your father was still in your grandmother's arms  Breastfeeding, do you dare to say that I am cowardly? Cowardly?!"

    "My lord, this Lu Yifeng is clearly mocking you on purpose!" Wang Shirong took the opportunity to shout: "The student thinks that this Lu Yifeng should be pushed out immediately and chopped up, and let him see whether you are brave or cowardly, my lord!"  After all, Wang Shirong didn't care whether Wu Sangui agreed or not, and directly shouted: "Come on, push this Lu Yifeng out and chop him up!" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com

    "Come on, push this Lu Yifeng out and chop him off!" Wang Shirong, who felt that Feng Xiang was not pleasing to his eyes from the first time he saw Feng Xiang, immediately became happy when he saw Wu Sangui get angry, and hurriedly yelled to let him go.  The guards of the palace pushed Feng Xiang out and chopped him into seventeen or eight pieces.  Over there, Wu Sangui's guards also rushed over like a conditioned reflex, and almost pushed Feng Xiang to his knees on the ground in the blink of an eye.  But fortunately, Liu Xuanchu, who was present at the scene and thought Feng Xiang was pleasing to the eye from the first time he saw Feng Xiang, immediately opened his mouth and shouted: "Stop, let him go!"

    The two most favored counselors under Wu Sangui issued two diametrically opposed orders at the same time. The guards holding Feng Xiang were a little embarrassed, they could only turn their eyes to Wu Sangui together, waiting for Wu Sangui's final decision.  And Wu Sangui regained his composure at this moment, strode up to Feng Xiang, grabbed Feng Xiang's braid, pulled Feng Xiang to look at him, stared into Feng Xiang's eyes and said word by word: "Boy!  , you tell me, how cowardly and cowardly is this king? I can¡¯t name a single Chou Yinmao, I promise, I will make you regret being born into this world!¡±

    Facing Wu Sangui's death threat, Feng Xiang showed no fear, but asked calmly: "My lord, if you are not cowardly and cowardly, why did you go to the court to ask for the handing over of the power of the chief executive of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces?  Why did the lord take the initiative to ask the lord to hand over this power? Isn't this your cowardly patient, lord?"

    "Lu Yifeng, don't talk nonsense to me!" Wu Yingqi also followed, and while killing chickens and wiping his neck, he gave Feng Xiang a wink and asked Feng Xiang not to implicate himself, while shouting: "Father, it is because of an eye disease, that's why you can't do it!"  Volunteer to relieve you of the responsibility of being in charge of Yunnan-Guizhou affairs! Come on, kowtow to your father and make amends, and I can also intercede for you to avoid death, or I will kill you myself!"

    "Second prince, are the prince's eyes really sick?" Feng Xiang asked calmly: "Since the prince's eyes are not feeling well, why was the prince able to see clearly the appearance of the humble official just ten steps away?"

    Hearing this, Wu Sangui and Wu Yingqi were both taken aback, only to realize that Wu Sangui had accidentally exposed his flaws just now.  Feng Xiang really deserved to be bold, careful and courageous, and said word by word: "My lord, maybe Kunming and the capital are far away, but as long as there are people around the lord, there is still a way from Kunming to the capital, and there are still people coming and going.  Whether the prince's eyes are sick or not, the capital will definitely know. I've finished talking about the lowly position, if you want to kill or cut, let the prince decide."

    Wu Sangui's body shook, he lowered his head to stare at Feng Xiang for a long time, slowly let go of the mouse tail on Feng Xiang's head, and turned back to look at Liu Xuanchu, Liu Xuanchu nodded to Wu Sangui with a calm expression.  Wu Sangui's expression changed, and his viper-like eyes suddenly turned to Wang Shirong again, and he gave Wang Shirong a fierce stare. Wang Shirong shrank his head, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Wu Sangui's fierce eyes.  In the end, Wu Sangui turned around and left, without looking back, he said: "Ying Qi, bring Lu Yifeng into the west wing of Lie Cuixuan, and then invite him to drink with the king. And Mr. Mao Xia  , you come too."

    "Yes." Wu Yingqi breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly waved away the guards who were holding Feng Xiang away, then pulled Feng Xiang up himself, and whispered in Feng Xiang's ear: "Slave dog, you almost scared me to death just now  Yes! But luckily for you, it happened to be on point. Liu Xuanchu was very opposed to Wang Shirong¡¯s strategy at the beginning, and it seems that the father is beginning to regret it now. When it comes to the wine table, please be careful with what you say.  Don't be as unrestrained as an idiot, you are a person promoted by Lao Tzu, you have to stand up for Lao Tzu, don't hurt Lao Tzu." Feng Xiang sneered in his heart, but promised submissively on his mouth.

    Led by Wu Yingqi through a moon cave door, and then through a large area of ??colorful flowers and plants, Feng Xiang entered a remote and elegant room. There was a table in the room. Wu Sangui sat in the first place with his eyes closed, and Liu Xuanchu sat in the second seat.  Smoking a pipe, seeing Feng Xiang coming in, Liu Xuanchu didn't say a word, but pointed at the last seat with a pipe gun to signal to sit down, Feng Xiang understood, saluted and sat down on the bottom seat without saying a word, Wu Yingqi also sat on the third seat  seat.  After a while, more than a dozen charming maidservants filed in with wine and vegetables, presented a table full of wine and vegetables, and then bowed and left.  It wasn't until Wu Sangui, Feng Xiang, Liu Xuanchu and Wu Yingqi were left in the room that Wu Sangui opened his eyes, smiled at Feng Xiang and said, "Lu Yifeng, you are very lucky. Just now, if you told me yesterday  The king said, this king will definitely kill you."

    "Thank you, my lord, for not killing me." Feng Xiang left the table and bowed down, thanking Wu Sangui hypocritically.  Wu Yingqi next to him asked curiously: "Father, why did you kill Lu Yifeng yesterday but not today?"

    "Because last night, your uncle Liu MaoxiaMy husband just said something similar to me, and pointed out that the root cause of my king's embarrassing situation is that his stance was too weak when he asked for an order to return the management of local government affairs in Yunnan and Guizhou!  "Wu Sangui replied lightly: "If it was Wang Shirong or Fang Guangchen, my father would definitely suspect that Lu Yifeng was ordered by them to help him, but Mr. Maoya is different, I believe him.  "

    "Has Liu Xuanchu also seen the cowardice and cowardice of the old traitor Wu Sangui?" Feng Xiang took a peek at the calm Liu Xuanchu, and felt more and more admiration for this plain old man.  Wu Yingqi asked Liu Xuanchu in surprise: "Mr. Maoxia, can't you? You also think my father is cowardly and cowardly?"

    "Second prince, the prince is not cowardly and cowardly, but too weak to the court, which has led to the court's progress." Liu Xuanchu said calmly: "Since the end of last year, Kangxi Xiaomazi has ordered his cronies to attack the prince repeatedly, in order to further weaken the prince.  Strength and the ultimate reduction of feudal clans to build momentum and lay the foundation of public opinion, to make things difficult and harsh for the prince. Under such circumstances, the prince did not take tough measures to fight back.  The power to manage the affairs of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces is used to test the court's true attitude towards the prince. It turned out to be self-defeating, and Kangxi Xiaomazi, who is in charge this year"

    Speaking of this, Liu Xuanchu paused, glanced at Feng Xiang's expression lightly, and then continued: "Little Pocky Kangxi accepted the prince's request without hesitation, and really lifted the prince's power.  This has led to the prince's current passive and embarrassing situation."

    "Mr. Maoxia, you don't have to hide it for this king. This king is indeed timid, so I listened to Wang Shirong's bad idea." Wu Sangui said slowly: "This king originally thought that the merits established by this king for the court can only  This king is loyal to the imperial court, and the imperial court will definitely not treat this king to death. After a hundred years, he can also achieve a good story with the current emperor. Therefore, in order to show loyalty to the imperial court, in the seventeenth year of Shunzhi,  The imperial court asked the king to abolish the army, and the king did not hesitate to abolish the 60,000 troops to 24,000. In the fourth year of Kangxi, the king took the initiative to appeal to the imperial court, requesting the reduction of the army, and dismissed more than 5,400 people.  There are only 17,000 troops left to guard Yunnan and Guizhou. It¡¯s just that what I didn¡¯t expect is that my step by step retreat, in exchange for the imperial court¡¯s aggressiveness and aggressiveness Alas¡ª¡ª!¡±

    Speaking of this, Wu Sangui let out a long sigh and said nothing, and Liu Xuanchu who was next to him continued, "Master Lu, your analysis is very correct. Since the Chinese New Year this year, there have indeed been many unfavorable voices against the prince in the court, and some of them are still  It has been proven that it was instigated by the people at the top of the imperial court. Because of this, the prince listened to Wang Shirong's bad idea, and took the initiative to submit a petition to the imperial court to request the removal of the management power of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. It turned out to be self-defeating, and the imperial court agreed immediately.  , Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou and Admiral of Yunnan and Guizhou's request for the imperial court to take back the memorial was also rejected, which immediately forced the prince into a dilemma."

    "Mr. Liu, please forgive my junior for being rude." Feng Xiang finally opened his mouth, and said surprisingly: "This junior doesn't think Mr. Wang Shirong's strategy is a bad idea, but a brilliant move."

    "What?" Liu Xuanchu was a little dumbfounded, thinking that you, Lu Yifeng, took the wrong medicine, and just now I rescued you from Wang Shirong's knife, and you actually helped him speak to refute me?  Wu Sangui over there was also very surprised, sat up straight and asked Feng Xiang: "Lu Yifeng, Wang Shirong wanted to kill you just now, and you still speak for him?"

    "Back to your lord, I'm a straightforward person. I think that the misunderstanding between me and Mr. Wang is just a personal holiday, and we can solve it privately." Feng Xiang didn't blush and his heart didn't beat, as if he said loyally: "But as long as Mr. Wang said  , As long as the things you do are beneficial to the prince, the humble official who is a subordinate of the prince and who has received the kindness of the second prince will definitely support him. The humble official will never go  Do."

    "Well said, it's not in vain for me to promote you." Wu Yingqi laughed and patted Feng Xiang on the shoulder, very satisfied with Feng Xiang's flattery of himself in words.  But the treacherous and cunning Wu Sangui wouldn't be stunned by Feng Xiang's bowls of ecstasy soup, he just said to Feng Xiang: "It's good if you have the heart, then tell me, Wang Shirong has forced this king into an embarrassing situation  The idea is not a bad idea, where is the reason?"

    ?

    (ps: The second update is delivered, continue to ask for points, tickets, and collections.)

    "My lord, the reason is very simple." Feng Xiang asked calmly: "The purpose of Mr. Wang Shirong's strategy should be to test the court's true attitude towards the lord, and now that the court has given an answer, isn't this the goal already achieved?  What is the attitude of the imperial court towards the prince, does the prince still not know?"

    Wu Sangui and Liu Xuanchu looked at each other in surprise, only to realize that these days they only cared about the loss of local civil affairs management power in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, and also had a headache after losing this power, the Manchus would definitely follow the various means of cutting the vassal  , but completely forgot the purpose of our previous exploration.  At this time, Wu Yingqi who was on the side interrupted and asked: "Lu Yifeng, what you said is a little bit reasonable, but for the purpose of spying, it's too uneconomical for my father to lose the right to govern local government affairs in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces?"

    "Second prince, Mr. Wang Shirong didn't think about how to deal with the aftermath when he offered advice to the prince?" Feng Xiang asked in surprise: "Did he not think about it?  The province's local control? Is he not ready to deal with the aftermath?"

    "It would be great if that idiot thought about the consequences!" Wu Yingqi replied angrily.  Wu Sangui over there replied: "Mr. Maoya also warned about this beforehand, but the king was eager to find out the court's attitude at that time, and considering that Yunnan and Guizhou provinces are located in the border areas, where barbarians live together, and the situation is complicated and difficult to manage, it is inseparable from the king sitting in charge."  , That's why I agreed to this proposition. It's just that this king didn't expect anything, he the court agreed. Afterwards, your immediate boss, Bian Sanyuan, and the others made a petition to restore it, but they were also immediately rejected."

    "Is the matter really that simple?" Feng Xiang's eyes rolled wildly, suspicious in his heart, and he thought: "With Wu Sangui's old treacherous cunning, how could it be possible to adopt Wang Shirong's reckless suggestion without even thinking about it? Could it be that he didn't?"  Have you considered the consequences of this tragedy? Or, there is another story in it, but Wu Sangui, an old traitor, doesn't want to talk about it? What are you hiding from me?"

    After thinking for a while, Feng Xiang, who obviously lacked information, shook his head, and decided to temporarily put aside this curiosity to explore the truth.  Liu Xuanchu, who had been watching Feng Xiang's expression beside him, nodded slightly, took another meaningful look at Feng Xiang's expression, and then asked Feng Xiang: "Master Lu, since you have understood what happened, then you  Tell me, what method should the prince use to get rid of the current predicament? There is no need to be modest, and there is no need to be scrupled, the prince is a very polite and virtuous gentleman."

    "My lord, I heard some news recently." Feng Xiang said hesitantly, "I heard that after Long Jizhao, the Chieftain of Ma Nai who rebelled in Xingren, Guizhou in the 17th year of Shunzhi, was wiped out by the lord, there are still remnants lurking in Yunnan and Guizhou."  , to contact the barbarian chieftains in various parts of Yunnan and Guizhou who refuse to submit to Wang Hua, and they want to do something wrong, and if they do not do it, they will rise up against the Qing Dynasty in the near future¡ªI just don¡¯t know, is this true or not?¡±

    "Ma Nai chieftain's remnants of rebellion?" Both Wu Sangui and Liu Xuanchu's eyes lit up.  Wu Yingqi next to him said stupidly: "Lu Yifeng, what are you kidding? Of course it's not the case. We killed Long Jizhao's whole family seven years ago, and ran away with Long Jizhao's daughter.  The accomplices are almost dead, so it is possible to start a rebellion again?"

    "Idiot, shut up!" Wu Sangui scolded his son, and then asked Feng Xiang: "Lord Lu, the remnants of Long Jizhao's rebels may not be enough, right?"

    "I have heard some news from that humble position." Feng Xiangfei replied quickly: "It is said that there are still some remnants of the former Ming Dynasty in Burma and Annan, and there seem to be some signs of being ready to move recently."

    Wu Sangui stopped talking, the eyeballs in his pair of triangular eyes rolled around, and he was thinking quickly, Liu Xuanchu said: "My lord, the students think that what Mr. Lu said is reasonable, Geng Jimao and Geng Jingzhong's father and son are in Fujian, and there are far more soldiers and horses than the lord.  The expenses are far greater than those of the prince, but because there is Zheng Jing from Taiwan next to him, there are very few comments in the court that are unfavorable to their father and son. In the same way, if there are some dangerous thieves like Zheng Jing in Yunnan and Guizhou  First, I believe that the life of the prince will be much easier in the court."

    "Mr. Maoya wants me to raise a thief to respect myself?" Wu Sangui gradually accepted Feng Xiang's existence in front of him. In front of Feng Xiang, Wu Sangui even directly said the words of raising a thief to respect himself.  After pondering for a while, Wu Sangui tapped the table with his fingers and said slowly: "But as a minister of the Qing Dynasty, I am responsible for the state's grace. Is it that I am too sorry for the court for doing such a thing?"

    "Fuck! You shameless old traitor!" Feng Xiang yelled in his heart, "If you really have any loyalty? Why did you lure Tartar soldiers into the pass? Why did you hang Emperor Yongli of Nanming? Fuck you,  Whatever you are about the mites??Adventurous character, without tempering, how can it become a master?  Also, the student had been observing Lu Yifeng just now, and found that although he was born with a bright mind and a flexible mind, his city mansion was a little shallow.  Especially after you finished talking about Bian Sanyuan and the others were rejected, that Lu Yifeng immediately found out that you didn't finish your sentence. Although you didn't dare to question the prince face to face, the expression on your face was extremely unnatural¡ªyou are so young and full of blood.  Can Fang Gang's young man be entrusted with important tasks immediately?  "

    "Yes, this kid is indeed too bold and adventurous." Wu Sangui nodded, and said with a smile: "If it wasn't for his good luck, he just happened to meet Mr. Maoya who is loyal to the king and eager for talents.  , this king has already slaughtered him! Such a person should be tempered a lot, so that in the future, like Mr. Mao Xia, you can become my king's assistant."

    "My lord, the student has an idea, which can make this Lu Yifeng more tempered." Liu Xuanchu picked up the dry smoke and said.  Wu Sangui first personally picked up the flint and fire sickle to light the dry smoke for Liu Xuanchu, and then said: "Mr. Maoya, if you have any good ideas, just say, the generals under my king are enough, and the most lacking is civil servants, but Mr. Maoya, you  I am more eager to seek talents."

    "My lord, since Lu Yifeng is going to Beijing to meet His Majesty, why don't you let him take a detour to Guangdong and take care of the matter suggested by the students last night for the lord." Liu Xuanchu said while smoking a cigarette: "Originally, that matter is very important to the lord.  , it doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s successful or not, and it¡¯s not very sure that it can be done. Instead of letting other people go to Guangdong alone to waste time and money, it¡¯s better to let Lu Yifeng go.  No, Lu Yifeng can also be tempered and gain some experience, so that the prince can use him in the future, and by the way, he can be tested to see if he is worthy of the heavy responsibility entrusted by the prince, and to see how he treats the prince.  Is it loyal or not?"

    "That's a good idea." Wu Sangui nodded after a moment of calculation: "Then let him go to Guangdong. If he can really do this for me, it would be a pleasant surprise." (Remember  Website URL: www.hlnovel.com

    (ps: There are two updates today, and the first one will be delivered. Please collect, recommend, and click.)

    "Master Feng, have you really cured Prince Pingxi?" Erlang blushed and asked Feng Xiang excitedly.  Seeing Feng Xiang nodded, Erlang didn't say anything, and regardless of whether it was on the way back to Kunming City from Wuhua Mountain, he grabbed Feng Xiang's sleeve and asked even more excitedly: "Master Feng, did you take the opportunity to ask for help?"  The prince will change the county seat for you to be the magistrate? Did the prince agree?"

    "What are you doing as a county magistrate in another county?" Feng Xiang asked a little confused.  Over there, Erlang and other unscrupulous servants immediately yelled together, "What are you doing as a county magistrate in another place? Of course, change to a richer county as the magistrate to make money!"

    "Young master, it was you who told us that Qujing was only a nominally second-class county in the Qing Dynasty. In fact, it was almost as poor as a third-class county. It was a year of bitter scrapping and swindling. If you can get four to five thousand taels of silver, you will be Amitabha!  If you can put it in a rich county, you can earn 10,000 to 20,000 taels of silver a year, and those unscrupulous people will have to give you the Wanmin Umbrella before you leave!"

    "Master Feng, you often say that your greatest wish in this life is to go to Yangzhou to become the magistrate, and then you can buy ten or eight thin Yangzhou horses and go home to enjoy! You used to read at least eight times a day, young master, why?  Forgot now?"

    "Yes, young master, you also said that if we follow you to Qujing, we can earn at most forty or fifty taels of silver by closing doors all year round. If we go to a rich county, we can get at least one or two hundred taels of silver.  Yes. Young master, you have to work hard to get promoted, and the little ones are still waiting to follow you to eat and drink hot food!"

    Erlang and other members of the Lu family were all talking, their eyes shining brightly, as if they had seen a lot of white money in front of them, Feng Xiang rolled his eyes and scolded himself  What kind of bad luck, how come such a group of unscrupulous servants, if I really want to become some local official in the future, I am afraid that within a month, my reputation will be worse than the stones in the latrine!  After rolling his eyes for a while, Feng Xiang waved his hand to interrupt the hopes of the servants for a better life for the corrupt officials and thugs, and cursed: "Don't be daydreaming here, young master, it's true that I cured the prince's illness, but the prince didn't  Why don¡¯t you ask me to change to another place to be the county magistrate, you should just wait honestly and go to Qujing with me to live a hard life.¡±

    "No way? Young master, you cured the prince's illness, but the prince didn't give you any reward?" Erlang exclaimed.  Seeing Feng Xiang nodded, Erlang immediately beat his chest and stamped his feet, "Why is the lord so stingy? In order to cure him, young master, you gave him hundreds of taels just for the sake of the door, but in the end, you cured the lord, and the lord ordered something."  Don¡¯t even reward you? One hundred taels of silver, how much land do we have to scrape in Qujing to get it back?!¡±

    "Yes! One hundred taels of silver is enough for two people to sleep in a kiln in Dali for a year!" The other servants also felt sorry.  Feng Xiang, who was in a bad mood, couldn't listen anymore. He raised the whip and whipped it wildly, cursing: "A bunch of bastards, what are they thinking in their heads? Even if you really want to follow me to the office, at least you can't  Say it publicly? Are you deliberately trying to ruin my reputation, young master?"

    "Yes, yes, little ones, stop talking, don't talk, young master, please spare me." Twenty or so servants were beaten to the ground by Feng Xiang, and ran around.  Feng Xiang was not relieved, he patted his horse and chased after him, intending to continue whipping these unscrupulous servants, headed by Xiao Erlang.  Xiao Erlang, who had been whipped twice over there, saw that Feng Xiang seemed to be in a bad mood, so he covered his face and asked cautiously: "Young Master, what's wrong with you? You seem very unhappy from your appearance? Could it be because of our  The prince heard the nonsense and scolded you?"

    "It's none of your business." Feng Xiang waved his hand impatiently, but he couldn't help thinking about what happened before.  On Mount Wuhua just now, Feng Xiang risked his beheading to point out Wu Sangui's heart disease. He originally wanted to show off his talent and sharp eyes in front of Wu Sangui, and strive to gain Wu Sangui's appreciation, and thus get close to Wu Sangui's core senior management  Opportunity, and then use Wu Sangui's army who is destined to rise up against the Qing Dynasty to realize his ambitions and ideals.  But it is a pity that when Feng Xiang's plan was about to succeed, Liu Xuanchu, Wu Sangui's most trusted counselor, stepped in and forcibly prevented Wu Sangui's second son, Wu Yingqi, from taking himself into the shogunate, and even forced Feng Xiang  Continuing to be the seventh-rank county magistrate who is as big as a sesame mung bean completely disrupted Feng Xiang's wishful thinking. It would be strange for Feng Xiang to be in a good mood.

    "If I remember correctly, Liu Xuanchu has a good reputation in history. Even Man Yi and traitors admit that if Wu Sangui adopted Liu Xuanchu's strategic choice during the San Francisco Rebellion, Wu Sangui might not have no chance of success during the San Francisco Rebellion.  "Feng Xiang became increasingly depressed.?The guests in the two rooms on the right have already been driven away by my people, and my people are still guarding the front door and rear windows, so no one else can get close.  "

    "Your junior doesn't mean that." Feng Xiang felt relieved a little, and then distinguished with a guilty conscience: "This junior is just strange, how could Mr. Liu give such an evaluation to this junior?"

    "Master Lu, you are very smart, but you are still a little too tender, so you can't hide it from me." Liu Xuanchu said calmly: "When we met for the first time at the foot of Wuhua Mountain today, the old man thought it was a bit strange that on such a hot day,  Your face is dripping with oil and sweat, why are you still wearing a melon skin hat? When you arrived at Wuhua Mountain and were about to enter the palace, the guards checked you for any hidden weapons, and took off your coat and hat during the search.  One thing is to put on the hat and then put on the clothes. The old man understood at that time-you are afraid that people will see the braids on your head, and see the ugly braids on your head that were imposed on you by the Manchu Tartars!  "

    Feng Xiang opened his mouth wide, he admired Liu Xuanchu so much, how treacherous and shrewd must he be to be able to see his political stance from such a small detail?  Liu Xuanchu glanced at Feng Xiang again, and said with a smile: "Master Lu, you still have an even bigger flaw! In the west wing of Lie Cuixuan, the old man deliberately called Emperor Kangxi of the Tartars Kangxi's little pockmark, what a rebellious remark.  Ah? As an imperial court official, not only did you not lose your face in shock, you didn¡¯t even blink your eyes¡ªMaster Lu, is this the behavior that a lackey of the Tartar court should behave?¡± (Remember this site¡¯s website: www.  hlnovel.com

    (ps: The second update is delivered, please collect and recommend.)

    Seeing that Feng Xiang's mouth was open enough to stuff three eggs in, Liu Xuanchu smiled even more happily, and his tone became more gentle, "After reaching this conclusion, the old man has determined that you and the old man share common ideals, common ambitions, and are dignified.  Man of the Han family! So the old man immediately made up his mind to persuade the prince to use you again, and at the same time, the old man made up his mind to persuade the prince not to use you again now!"

    "Old senior, are you being too arbitrary?" Feng Xiang tried to calm down, and asked solemnly: "Old senior, are you not afraid that this junior is really an eyeliner sent by the court?  In front of the senior, you deceived the trust with sweet words, and sold the prince and the senior to the court as soon as you turned around?"

    "If you are such a person, then you wouldn't dare to propose to the lord the idea of ??raising a thief." Liu Xuanchu said calmly: "Now that Kangxi Xiao Mazi is getting older, and the conflict with Oboi's beard is becoming more and more acute, if the lord  If you are really determined to raise a thief, even if the court on the verge of civil strife knows the prince¡¯s intentions, you can only obediently obey. In this case, even if you are an insider of the court or a duplicitous villain, you intend to deceive the prince and the old man¡¯s trust  , ready to sell the prince and the old man in exchange for glory and wealth, then with your self-respecting strategy of raising a thief, no matter whether it is Ao Dahuzi or Kang Xiaomazi, you will not be spared! It is precisely because of this that the prince did not kill you, because  The prince knows that it is impossible for you to betray him!"

    "There are such serious consequences?" Feng Xiang was taken aback, and only then realized that the self-respect plan he offered to Wu Sangui today was actually a certificate of honor to be tied to Wu Sangui's thief boat, and thinking about getting off the boat is no longer just saying that  The problem can be lowered.  Over there, Liu Xuanchu observed Feng Xiang's thoughts, vaguely guessed Feng Xiang's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Master Lu, no matter whether you have considered this dangerous consequence beforehand, it is too late if you want to regret it now. But you can rest assured,  As long as you are loyal to the lord, the lord will never treat you badly, the lord is not Zhu Yuanzhang, nor Liu Bang, and he will not hide the bird and hide it. The old man himself is the proof of this."

    After being silent for a long time, Feng Xiang finally asked: "Senior, since you already understand the junior's ambition, why do you want to prevent the second prince from using the junior again? Could it be that the senior wants the junior to serve the prince directly?  "

    "Wrong, and it's a big mistake." Liu Xuanchu shook his head, and said slowly: "Lord Lu, I didn't want you to work directly for the prince or the old man, but to save your life, so I prevented the second prince from being reused.  You. Do you understand this?"

    "The old senior wants to save the junior's life?" Feng Xiang was even more confused.  Liu Xuanchu said calmly: "Lord Lu, you are very smart. You can actually analyze the situation and thoughts of the prince from the several palace reports released by the court. You are indeed a natural talent. But, Lord Lu, you know  Do you have those two fatal weaknesses? If you don¡¯t correct these two weaknesses, no matter where you go or what you do, you won¡¯t be able to become a master!¡±

    "Senior, please enlighten me, and this junior is all ears." Feng Xiang put away his youthful madness, and asked Liu Xuanchu for advice respectfully.  Liu Xuanchu didn't answer, just picked up the room and smoked on the table, but didn't go to the table to light a fire, just refused to speak with the cigarette holder in his mouth.  Feng Xiang was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, hurriedly took down the candle lamp on the table, and personally lit the dry smoke for Liu Xuanchu, then Liu Xuanchu nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly said: "Lord Lu, your two fatal flaws are that you are too courageous.  Big, so big that there is no limit! The second is that the city is too shallow, so shallow that people can see through you at a glance! If you can't change these two shortcomings, not only will you not be able to become a great weapon, but you may also be in danger of your life at any time!"

    "Junior, senior, please give me detailed instructions." Feng Xiang asked with his hands down.  Liu Xuanchu said calmly: "Lord Lu, tell me yourself, how many times have you closed the gate of hell today? For the first time, you, a Western selection official who was promoted by bribing the second prince, dared to directly point out that the prince's heart disease was caused by the prince.  The imperial court, if the old man hadn¡¯t just analyzed this point for the prince last night, the prince has already realized his mistake in decision-making, and the prince would have killed you at that time! The second time, in order to support the old man, you even publicly satirized the prince¡¯s red face.  The man Wang Shirong is nothing more than an idiot, and Wang Shirong's narrow-mindedness can still accommodate you? The third time is even more dangerous.  The new officials, before gaining the trust of the prince and finding out the prince's character and temper, dare to offer the prince a self-respecting plan to fight against the court? Are you not afraid that the prince will kill you to silence you, and you are not afraid that the news will leak, and the court will destroy you all over the house?  "

    When Liu Xuanchu said something, Feng Xiang's body trembled, and the sweat began to roll off his face.  Liu Xuanchu took another puff of dry cigarette, and then said: "As for your city, don't say anything - you risk pointing out the prince's heart disease.??Give it to Shang Kexi, shall we?  "

    "But is it possible for Shang Kexi to agree to such a matter of shooting the top bird?" Feng Xiang asked worriedly.  Liu Xuanchu nodded with a smile, and replied: "The analysis is correct. It is unlikely that Shang Kexi will agree, and Shang Kexi has been at odds with the prince all his life, and it is even more impossible to offend the Tartar court for the sake of the prince.  Fazi didn¡¯t have high expectations.¡±

    Feng Xiang scratched his head, he really didn't know what kind of medicine his cheap teacher was selling in the gourd. He knew that the possibility of persuading Shang Kexi to join forces with Wu Sangui to deal with the Manchu Tartars was unlikely, so why would he send himself as a student to  If you touch this nose, you will lose face?  But fortunately, Feng Xiang has an advantage in the history of later generations. After turning his eyes, Feng Xiang suddenly came to his senses and blurted out: "Men, could it be that you want the students to take advantage of Shang Kexi's eldest son, Shang Zhixin? The students heard that Shang Kexi  He is old, and the government and military affairs in Guangdong are actually in the hands of Shang Zhixin."

    "Smart!" Liu Xuanchu happily patted Feng Xiang on the head, and said with a smile: "As expected of a student who is optimistic about the teacher, he can understand a little! To tell you the truth, judging from the situation in Guangdong that Pingxi Palace has, Shang Zhixin has not only been practical  He controlled most of the power in Guangdong, and was very dissatisfied with Shang Kexi's position of being loyal to the Tartar court. He suggested many times that Shang Kexi improve relations with the prince, and at the same time strengthen ties with Jingnan King Geng Jimao.  Retiring together, coexisting and co-prospering, the Tartar court dare not take action against San Francisco at will, so both the teacher and the prince believe that if Guangdong is to respond and support us in Yunnan and Guizhou in the negotiation of military pay, the only hope is to fall in Shangzhi  on the letter."

    "Well, the students must try their best to persuade Shang Zhixin to respond to the prince, so that the Tartar court can't find an excuse to cut the military salary of Yunnan and Guizhou." Feng Xiang agreed.  Liu Xuanchu patted Feng Xiang's head again, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, after listening to the teacher, although Shang Zhixin is someone we can win over, this kid is not simple, treacherous and vicious are not inferior to his father Shang Kexi  , the possibility of us persuading him to be the young bird is not very great. So this time you are going to Guangdong as the envoy of the prince, you can only have the mentality that you can succeed or fail. If you succeed, of course it is best, if you cannot  If you succeed, you have to be careful to save your own life and keep a useful body, so that you will have the opportunity to expel the Tartars and restore China to us in the future."

    "Thank you, teacher, for your guidance. The students will keep it in mind." Feng Xiang replied respectfully.  Liu Xuanchu nodded, then lowered his voice and said: "As a teacher, I asked you to go to Guangdong with mercy. In addition to letting you serve as the prince's envoy to hone yourself, there is also a private purpose-Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangnan are the places where the anti-Qing and Fuming underground activities are the most.  The place where the anti-Qing forces and the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty are based, when you go to those places, if you have the opportunity, you can properly interact with these people, cultivate relationships, and establish contacts for future use, understand?"

    A gleam flashed across Feng Xiangfei's ordinary slender eyes, and he nodded solemnly to Liu Xuanchu.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com

    (ps: Please collect, please recommend tickets.)

    Sure enough, as Liu Xuanchu said, three days later, on September 19th, Wu Sangui met Feng Xiang again on Wuhua Mountain, agreed that Feng Xiang would go to Beijing to meet with His Majesty as usual, and then explained the current situation to Feng Xiang, asking Feng Xiang to be in Beijing as usual.  On the way to Beijing, they took a detour to Guangdong to persuade Shang Kexi and his son, and let Shang Kexi and his son submit a petition to the Qing court to ask for an increase in salary, which relieved the pressure on Wu Sangui's side, and added an important bargaining chip to Wu Sangui in negotiating with the court on the allocation of military salary.  Feng Xiang, who was prepared in his heart, agreed without hesitation, and patted his chest to promise to complete the task.  Wu Sangui was overjoyed when he heard the words, first he highly praised Feng Xiang's loyalty, promised to give Feng Xiang some short-term benefits, and then gave Feng Xiang fifty catties of sand as the activity fund, then sent Liu Xuanchu and Wu Yingqi to personally deliver the letter  Xiang down the mountain.

    On September 20th, according to Wu Sangui's order, Feng Xiang set off directly from Kunming City, detoured to Guangdong to meet another old traitor Shang Kexi and his son.  When parting, Liu Xuanchu who came to see him off in person not only repeatedly told Feng Xiang to be careful, but also gave Feng Xiang an official document issued by Wu Sangui himself, and also sent twenty royal guards to protect Feng Xiang.  At the same time, Liu Xuanchu also directly told Feng Xiang in secret, "In addition to protecting you, these twenty palace guards also have another task to monitor you. You should know how to do it yourself. But you can also rest assured, as long as you treat the prince  Loyalty, if a teacher speaks for you in the palace, they dare not make things difficult for you casually." Feng Xiang solemnly agreed, and said goodbye to Liu Xuanchu with tears.

    Going from Kunming to Guangzhou must pass through Guangxi. Unlike Wu Sangui, who controls Yunnan and Guizhou alone, the situation in Guangxi, which is also a vassal, is much more complicated. The first is that the veteran traitor Kong Youde has been defeated by the Han mob Li Dingguo in Guilin. His wife  None of the sons escaped, only Kong Sizhen, a daughter who was said to have an affair with Emperor Shunzhi of the Tartars, survived, but because she was a young woman, she was unable to control Guangxi at all.  Later, Line Guoan, a veteran of Kong Youde's department, made great contributions in forcing Li Dingguo out of Guangxi, and was named Admiral of Guangxi by the Manchu Qing court.  But at the beginning of the sixth year of Kangxi, which Feng Xiang traveled to, Lin Guoan begged to be appointed because of his old age, and the gang of wolves and tigers under the veteran traitor Kong Youde suddenly started to move again.

    Kong Youde's gang of wolves and tigers are eyeing the control of Kong Youde's fief Guangxi, and among them, there are four forces who are qualified to inherit and have the strength to inherit Kong Youde's political legacy.  Ma Xiong, Kong Youde's veteran brothers Dai Liangchen and Wang Yongnian, the third son of Lan Guoan, Lan Yuxuan, who is quite popular in the army, and finally Kong Sizhen's husband Sun Yanling and Sun Yanling's brother Sun Yanji, all of the four forces are qualified to inherit Kong Youde  At the same time, no one has the certainty of winning. For this reason, they have been fighting openly and secretly, making Guangxi a miasma and chaos.  But none of the first three forces expected that the current rulers of the Manchu Qing court were so politically wise that they broke the rules and issued an order to allow Kong Youde's only daughter, Kong Sizhen, to take control of the fief in Guangxi.  Unconvinced and can't find any reason to object.  Sun Yanling, who was engaged to Kong Sizhen since childhood, happily rushed to Beijing to take his wife back as his master, and then dreamed of taking over power from his wife and becoming the real and unknown king of Guangxi.  But it is a pity that Kong Sizhen, who grew up beside the old witch of Xiaozhuang and was loyal to the Qing court, would let Sun Yanling get his wish?

    In view of these complicated situations in Guangxi, Liu Xuanchu's guidance and recognition of his own shortcomings and his shoulders made Fengxiang act more cautiously. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, Feng Xiang and his party arrived at Luoping County, which borders Yunnan and Guangxi.  He immediately ordered the twenty accompanying guards of Pingxi Palace to put on plain clothes, pretend to be drug dealers with himself, and enter Guangxi with several carts of Gastrodia elata, Eucommia and other drugs.  Regarding this order, Erlang and Kong Fanlin, the head of the guards of the West Prince's Mansion, were very puzzled. Kong Fanlin, who had a fairly good attitude, asked Feng Xiang cautiously: "Master Lu, we don't need this, do we? Master Lu, you are the first time  When you are an official, you must not know that the customs clearance official document issued by the prince can pass through the world, basically except for the Imperial Palace, no matter which checkpoint you reach, no one will dare to stop you."

    "Brother Kong misunderstood, I'm not afraid that the official document issued by the prince will not work." Feng Xiang shook his head and patiently explained: "This time, I took a detour to Guangdong to run an errand for the prince under the sign of going to Beijing to see you.  For example, when I enter Beijing, I see that I should take the road of Guizhou and Hunan, and then board a boat in Hunan, go down the Yangtze River, and finally turn into the canal and go straight to Beijing. In this way, if I enter Guangxi with an open identity, I will definitely attract the local government  Suspicion, missed the important matter of the prince. So for the sake of prudence, it is better for us to pretend to be businessmen." Kong Fanlin and other guards felt that Feng Xiang's words were reasonable, so they followed suit.

    Feng Xiang's caution seems to have played a role.??Famous?  Feng Xiang was very dissatisfied about being almost regarded as a wanted criminal and passed the customs easily, but there was no trouble at all. Feng Xiang didn't bother to make troubles, led Xiao Erlang and other family members to the pier, hired two cargo ships, and set off on board  But when boarding the ship and setting off, Feng Xiang, who was looking out from the cabin, felt that something was wrong. The Qing soldiers who had been searching the merchants on the pier just now stopped checking, and the soldiers scattered all over the pier also  The assembly began, and it seemed that the team was about to return to the camp.

    "Things are wrong." Feng Xiang frowned.  Xiao Erlang next to him asked curiously: "Master, what's wrong?"

    "Erlang, did you see that?" Feng Xiang pointed to the pier and said, "The troops on the pier were originally under strict inspection, but as soon as we boarded the ship, those soldiers began to gather together. What does this mean?"

    "What does it represent?" Erlang asked foolishly.  Feng Xiang was furious, he gave Erlang a chestnut on his head, and cursed in a low voice: "Idiot! How could I have such a stupid servant like you? The army was withdrawn as soon as we boarded the ship. Doesn't this mean that this  An army is likely to be directed at us?"

    "Aiming at us? Why?" Erlang covered his head and asked in amazement: "We didn't do anything wrong? Why did they come at us?"

    "How do I know?" Feng Xiang asked back angrily, and recalling the situation just now carefully, Feng Xiang felt that the situation was not right¡ªwhy didn't the general of the Guangxi army just let Xiao Erlang see the portrait on the arrest warrant?  Who is that pictured on the arrest warrant?  Also, why did the boss call him, and why did he let him pass so easily?  Recalling this point, Feng Xiang thought of something again, although the boss put him on the boat directly, but when he boarded the boat, he accidentally looked back, the boss seemed to be looking at him, and when he found himself turning around, he immediately  Turn your face away, very much as if you have been observing yourself.

    If it was the previous Feng Xiang, Feng Xiang would definitely not take these small problems to heart, but after receiving Liu Xuanchu's guidance in Kunming City, Feng Xiang has already realized his weakness in character, and is determined to work hard to correct it.  So after thinking about it for a while, and looking at the rough map of Guangxi brought by Kong Fanlin and other guards for a while, Feng Xiang made up his mind, discussed with Erlang, Kong Fanlin and the others: "Well, let's be careful, our ship will probably be gone tonight.  If we can reach Jiuzhou, then you two and I will take five or six people to disembark and take the land route of Baise to Guangdong, and the rest will continue to take the water route, and then we will meet up in Deqing in Guangdong."

    "Lord Lu, do you need to be so troublesome?" Kong Fanlin asked suspiciously: "In any case, we are all from the King of Pingxi, although the brothers Lan Yuxuan, Ma Xiong, Dai Liangchen and Sun Yanling from Guangxi are not from the prince.  The subordinates can also be regarded as colleagues of the prince, can they still be disadvantageous to us?"

    Feng Xiang was also a little hesitant, but the doubts he discovered just now still lingered in Feng Xiang's heart, so after thinking about it for a while, Feng Xiang said in a low voice: "Maybe it's not necessary, and people in Guangxi may not dare  It is not good for the prince. However, when he left Kunming, Mr. Liu Xuanchu once told his officials that the situation in Guangxi is complicated. The four forces, Ma Xiong, Yuxuan, Dai Liangchen and Sun Yanling, have been fighting openly and secretly for the actual control of Guangxi.  It must be dark, and there is no guarantee that none of them will have the idea of ??dealing with the prince to please the court. We shoulder the important task of contacting the prince and the Nanwang, and there is no room for any mistakes. What happened on the pier just now is so strange, so I  In my opinion, it is better to be a little troublesome, but also to be careful." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 10 The Peach Blossom Comes to Your Door (Favorites)

    ?

    Anyway, Feng Xiang finally persuaded Kong Fanlin and other palace guards to agree to split up the team. When it was completely dark, the three private boats hired by Feng Xiang and others arrived at the Jiuzhou River, and Feng Xiang led Kong Fanlin, Xiao Erlang and six palace guards.  The masters abandoned their boats and landed, and took the official road to go south to Baise. The family members of the Lu family and the remaining guards of the palace continued to travel by water under the leadership of Kong Fanlin's deputy Luo Kedi, turning from the Beipan River to the Pearl River, and then went straight to Guangzhou.  Celebrating rendezvous.  However, although Kong Fanlin and other guards reluctantly agreed to Feng Xiang's decision, when it was time to disembark, Kong Fanlin and others inevitably complained again.

    "I said Master Lu, you are really looking for trouble." Seeing the civilian boat disappearing into the night, Kong Fanlin, who was filled with regret, couldn't help complaining to Feng Xiang: "I don't want to sit on a good boat, but I have to get off the boat and walk.  We don¡¯t even have a horse, when will we be able to reach Deqing?¡±

    "Yeah, master, it's okay for me to walk a little bit, can you take such a long way?" Xiao Erlang, the only one in the team who is loyal to Feng Xiang, also complained, and suggested: "Master, how about  Hurry up, little one, and call the boat back, let¡¯s just take the boat, walking is too tiring, it¡¯s okay for the little one to be used to walking on mountain roads since childhood, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to bear it.¡±

    Feng Xiang, who was not very confident, was a little shaken, and began to wonder if he was a shadow of a snake, but at this moment, a guard of the palace closest to the river suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Don't talk, there is another boat coming from the upper reaches  It's gone." Feng Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately ordered: "Quickly turn off the torches, everyone hides in the woods, and don't let the people on the boat see us."

    "Hurry up, hurry up." In the sound of urging, the well-trained Wu Sangui guard quickly extinguished the torch, and under the cover of night, rushed into the woods beside the road to hide like lightning.  After a while, a small boat with only two lanterns came down from the upper reaches and stopped at the section of the river where Feng Xiang and the others stayed before. Feng Xiang and the others listened carefully, and vaguely heard someone on the boat say: "  No, who said there was a fire here just now?"

    "Huh? That's weird. I seemed to see the light of a torch here just now. Why isn't it here again? Chief Zhi, why don't you send some people ashore to have a look?"

    "Don't waste time. If there are real people on the shore, as long as there is a torch, they can be seen clearly from two or three miles away. See for yourself, what kind of torch is there on the shore?"

    "That's right, it's probably Xiao Si, you misread it. Go, chase Lu Yifeng quickly, if you lose his boat, the higher-ups will ask Lao Tzu to settle the score, and I will not spare you Xiao Si."

    During the conversation, the boat re-anchored and chased downstream. Feng Xiang and the others who were hiding in the woods stared at each other in shock. It wasn't until the boat was far away that Erlang stammered and asked, "Master Feng  , Did you commit adultery with a married woman in Dali Mansion last time? The younger one said at the time that it¡¯s fine to play with a woman like that with a man, and you¡¯ll be fine if you pay a few taels of money  , but you are lucky, you just want to hook up with that woman, and now the woman's man must have found out, and sued the Dali Mansion Yamen to send someone to arrest you."

    "Idiot!" Feng Xiang gave another chestnut to Erlang's head, and said angrily: "This is Guangxi, how could the Yamen of Dali Mansion send people here to arrest me?  It will also be the government servants of Dali Mansion, how could it be the army of Guangxi?"

    "Then why did the Guangxi army arrest you?" Erlang asked even more confusedly.  Kong Fanlin also asked over there: "Lord Lu, have you offended anyone in the Guangxi officialdom? Or have you offended anyone in the Guangxi army?"

    "No, I have never been to Guangxi before, how could I provoke people here?" Feng Xiang denied it, and then said in a deep voice: "It seems that the worst thing I expected before may have happened.  Someone is indeed eyeing me, but I don't know what their purpose is, why they have already discovered my whereabouts, but they still don't do anything?"

    "Master Lu, you are carrying the secret letter from the prince to King Pingnan. There is no room for any mistakes." Kong Fanlin said worriedly: "Why don't we turn around and go back to Yunnan to report to the prince. If we miss the important matter of the prince, we will  No one can afford to suffer."

    The situation is unclear, and the enemy's identity and intentions are unclear. Of course, Feng Xiang was a little tempted by Kong Fanlin's suggestion, but after thinking about it carefully, Feng Xiang immediately vetoed it: "No, if I do this, I will lose one in front of the prince.  I have the impression of cowardice and incompetence, so I can only continue to go to Guangdong, and at most one person can be sent back to report to the prince." Kong Fanlin and others saw that Feng Xiang insisted, so they didn't force it¡ªanyway, the goal of these Guangxi soldiers had already been made clear.  Xiang, Kong Fanlin and the guards who belonged to the Pingxi Palace would not care too much about Feng Xiang's life or death.  At present, Feng Xiang, Kong Fanlin and other guards discussed again, and a guard of Pingxi Palace returned to Yunnan by land to report to Wu Sangui.??, forget it, Kojiro didn't do it on purpose.  "Kong Fanlin raised his wine glass and persuaded: "Besides, I dare to guarantee that when Erlang announced your official title, Mr. Lu, there was no one around who looked like a soldier who listened to me¡ª¡ªI have served in the prince's army for more than ten years.  The scouts, you can tell at a glance whether the people on the street are civilians or soldiers, so don't be angry.  After that, Kong Fanlin stuffed the wine glass into Feng Xiang's hand, and said with a smile, "Come on, Master Lu, let's have a drink together."  "

    "General Kong, I'm not afraid that he will expose my whereabouts." Feng Xiang took the wine glass and said shamelessly: "I'm just afraid that he will miss the important matter of the prince. If that's the case, then I will die.  gone."

    "Okay, okay, I'll be in Guangdong soon, I can't miss it." Kong Fanlin smiled and touched the wine glass with Feng Xiang's, and was about to drink it up when someone knocked on the door of the private room.  Jiao Didi and Tian Sisi's voice also floated in, "Masters, can I come in and disturb you masters?"

    "Is there a beautiful woman?!" Before the words finished, the eyes of Kong Fanlin and other palace guards lit up, and Xiao Erlang, who was beaten by Feng Xiang just now, shrugged his head and dared not speak, his eyes lit up even more, and he quickly raised his head and said:  "Master, I dare to bet my head, just based on this voice, the appearance of the little lady outside is definitely not that bad, at least better than the young master you have in Dali City."

    "The voice is pretty good, but what is she here for?" Feng Xiang also thought the voice was very pleasant, and he felt almost charming, but when he was sitting in a restaurant drinking wine, suddenly there was such a woman knocking on the door and begging to see him.  Feng Xiang, who is less reckless, inevitably has some doubts.  But Feng Xiang's doubts turned into doubts, Kong Fanlin and other guards over there couldn't wait to jump up and go to open the door, "Please come in, little lady, if you have anything to do, sit down and talk slowly, you're welcome."

    "Thank you, gentlemen." Amid Jiao Didi's promise, the woman raised her legs and walked into the room. After seeing the woman's appearance clearly, Feng Xiang was quite vigilant, and he couldn't help but feel flustered immediately, his lower body trembled.  Feeling a little hard.  It turned out that the woman who came into the room was indeed quite well-born. Needless to say, her facial features were pretty and attractive. Her body was protruding and backwards. In ancient times, nutrition was generally deficient. Her skin was fair and tender. The only shortcoming was her mouth.  A little big, but more than made up for it with ruddy lips.  What's even more rare is that although this woman's clothes are ordinary, there is a kind of coquettishness that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words, the kind of coquettishness that makes men feel the most primitive impulse.

    In front of the woman's obsequiousness, Feng Xiang who was suspicious was still like this, let alone Kong Fanlin and others who had just come out of the mosquito camp, all of them lost their souls and stared at the woman fiercely.  The guards simply swallowed their saliva.  Facing the eyes of Kong Fanlin and other Laoqiu who looked like a wolf like a tiger, not only did the woman not feel restrained and nervous, but she flirtatiously winked at Feng Xiang and the others, and was blessed again.  The others said: "Masters, the little girl is from Dongguan, Guangdong, her surname is Sun and her name is Yu'er. Greetings to you all."

    "You're welcome, Ms. Sun, please take a seat." Kong Fanlin was the first to wake up, and quickly stood up to give up his seat to Sun Yuer.  Sun Yu'er was not too polite, and sat between Kong Fanlin and Feng Xiang generously, and then cast a coquettish wink at Feng Xiang who had been keeping calm, and asked softly: "Young master, look at your appearance  , should be the master of all the masters here? Dare I ask you how to call your son?"

    "Feng Xiang, I'm not their master, but their friend." Feng Xiang replied very simply, with a very flat tone, neither humble nor overbearing, as if he turned a blind eye to Sun Yuer's flirtatious provocation.  But Sun Yu'er was secretly surprised. With her beauty and means, so far, in front of her deliberate teasing, as long as the men are physically and psychologically normal, there are not many men who can maintain such calmness and calmness!  In this way, Sun Yu'er, who hadn't fully figured out Feng Xiang's details, inevitably gave Feng Xiang a higher look, and thought to himself: "If this big fat man doesn't like Lord Rabbit, then he must be a difficult opponent.  Be careful."

    "Little wave hoof!" Feng Xiang cursed inwardly, "Do you think you are so beautiful that every man would be tempted when he sees you? In the 21st century, I saw it on the Internet, on TV, and in movies.  There are too many beauties, like you, who can barely squeeze in first-class stuff at most, if it weren't for being so coquettish, maybe I would still be tempted, but it's a pity that you have become like this, brother, my virgin body is reluctant to give it to you casually.

    ?

    "Miss Sun, what do you want from us?" Feng Xiang and Sun Yu'er had their own thoughts here, and Kong Fanlin, who didn't even see a few female mosquitoes all year round, was impatient.  Putting the new bowls and chopsticks in front of Sun Yuer, he greeted him cordially: "Miss Yuer, you are welcome, please use it by the way, if the food and drink are not to your taste, just tell me, we will call you another one."

    "Thank you, sir." Sun Yu'er flirted with coquettish promises, making Kong Fanlin's heart itch, and asked impatiently, "Miss Sun, my name is Kong Fanlin, and you can call me Big Brother Kong. You can come here to find me."  Us, what's the matter?"

    "Brother Kong, the slave family is taking the liberty." Sun Yu'er lowered her pink face and said shyly: "The thing is this, the slave family came to Guangxi from Dongguan to Guangxi a year ago to do business with my husband, specializing in selling tea.  It went well, and I was ready to buy a shop in Xunzhou and settle down, but two months ago, Xianggong went to the mountains to sell tea and was met by bandits, and the bandits who blocked the road killed him, and all his capital was robbed."

    Speaking of this, Sun Yu'er wiped the corners of her eyes and continued with a choked voice: "After Xianggong was killed, my family wanted to cry without tears. It took a lot of effort and hired a lot of people to find Xianggong's body and plan to transport it back to his hometown in Dongguan for burial.  But the money is not enough, so I can only try my best to bury my husband in Xunzhou. After going back and forth like this, the meager savings that Xianggong left in my slave's house have been spent, and I still owe more than half a month's rent  ¡­¡­." Having said this, Sun Yu'er couldn't help but lowered her head and began to cry.

    "Miss Sun oh, it should be called Miss Sun. The world is impermanent, so you have to express your condolences." Kong Fanlin wiped away two fake tears, and asked Sun Yuer impatiently: "Miss Sun, what do you want now?"  What to do? Feel free to ask us if you have any difficulties, and we will try our best to help." Xiao Erlang and other guards who were fascinated by Sun Yuer over there also rushed to say: "Yes, Miss Sun, if you have any difficulties, just speak up.  We will do our best to help you."

    "Miss Sun, don't you want to ask us to borrow money?" Feng Xiang asked sharply, his attitude was a little slowed down - after all, this woman named Sun Yu'er is really beautiful, no matter whether she is here to cheat money or not,  There's no point guarding her like you guard against thieves and robbers.

    Sun Yu'er, who was sitting next to Feng Xiang, was not polite, she nodded first, then wiped away the tears on her face, and then said shyly: "I made Uncle Feng laugh, my family has no relatives in Xunzhou, and I have no food or clothing.  I plan to go back to Dongguan to join my natal family, but I don¡¯t have enough money in my hand, and I owe the landlord more than half a month¡¯s rent, so" After finishing speaking, Sun Yuer hurriedly added, "Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Feng, the money my slave family borrowed from you  , I will definitely pay it back, as long as I return to Dongguan, I will pay it back."

    "Miss Sun, you said you would pay it back, so what kind of guarantee do you use?" Erlang asked with a lewd smile: "In case Miss Sun, you will forget about us when you return to Dongguan, where can we find someone to ask for money?"  Before the words were finished, Kong Fanlin's group of old Qiuba and Erlang's gang of unscrupulous servants also laughed lewdly together, and asked one after another: "Miss Sun, what guarantee do you take? How do you guarantee it?"

    Sun Yu'er stopped talking, and her pink face turned red into a big red cloth. She lowered her head and said shyly, "Please trust me, I will definitely pay you back, and I will definitely not renege on my debt."

    "Miss Sun, do you think this will work?" Kong Fanlin quietly touched Sun Yu'er's plump thigh with his big hand, and said lewdly: "It just so happens that the brothers are going to Guangzhou. It's not too far from Dongguan. Why don't you, my lady?"  You go on the same road with us, and we will pay for your food, drink, and consumption on the way, and we will also pay for the rent you owe. As long as you are on the road, when you arrive in Dongguan, it¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t pay the money.  "

    "Uncle Kong, don't." Sun Yu'er pressed Kong Fanlin's clutches with a blushing face, and said shyly, "Uncle Kong, my servant is a man with a husband, a decent woman, not"

    "It's not what?" Kong Fanlin couldn't hold back his lust, he hugged Sun Yu'er in his arms, and said with a lewd smile: "Miss Sun, since your husband is no longer here, what are you afraid of? That's it, let's go together  On the road, big brother, I will pay the debt for you!"

    As he said that, Kong Fanlin's big mouth unceremoniously stuck to Sun Yu'er's pink face, and the unscrupulous family Ding Xiao Erlang and the unscrupulous guards laughed wildly and lasciviously together, but Sun Yuer didn't expect Kong Fanlin, the old Qiuba, to be so direct and shy  Struggling desperately, she leaned on Feng Xiang intentionally or unintentionally, grabbed Feng Xiang's wrist and begged: "Master Feng, save the slave family, the slave family is not that kind of casual woman, the slave family swears, I will definitely pay you back the money in the future,  I will definitely repay you well. If Uncle Feng, you really don¡¯t want to lend money to my family, I just leave, don¡¯t do this, don¡¯t do this" Begging, Sun Yuer was ashamed and afraid, and couldn't help crying  .

    &nbsSurrounded by groups, they shouted together: "Drop your weapons! Put down your weapons!"

    "Guard Kong, do you know what to do now?" Sun Yuer chuckled and said, "Put down your weapons obediently, you still have a little hope of surviving. If you want to resist stubbornly, I can guarantee that everyone here is skilled  It will not be inferior to your guards in Pingxi Palace."

    "Don't worry about me, go out and report!" Feng Xiang was very calm, and shouted in time: "As long as one of you goes back to report to the prince, they will not dare to do anything to me! Otherwise, we may all have to be silenced!"

    "You barbarian!" Sun Yu'er's pretty face darkened, and she turned the handle of the knife and hit Feng Xiang hard on the back of the head. Feng Xiang felt his eyes go dark, and he fainted again immediately.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com

    "I said, I'll say anything, Sigege, spare me!" Seeing Kong Sizhen, who is as beautiful as a flower and as hearty as a snake, raised the red-hot soldering iron in front of her, Feng Xiang, who was afraid that his handsome appearance would be ruined, panicked completely.  , and couldn't care about the dangerous consequences of betraying Wu Sangui, he hurriedly yelled like a pig: "Si Gege, you can say whatever you want to be a humble job, spare me, Si Gege¡ª!"

    "Bitch, you don't want to drink a toast! I thought your bones were so hard!" Kong Sizhen snorted coldly with a ferocious expression, threw the soldering iron back into the brazier, and changed back to his habitual charming face, giggling.  : "Master Lu, then please, my family can warn you, it is best not to play tricks and trick my family with sweet words. Otherwise, if my family gets angry, Master Lu will not be as simple as eating a soldering iron."

    "Don't dare to be humble, don't dare to be humble." Feng Xiang begged for mercy, and while thinking quickly in his heart, he said cautiously: "Si Gege, then I have a small request for such a lowly position, I hope Si Gege must grant it¡ª¡ª  I hope that Si Gege will keep the matter that Beizhi explained to you, Si Gege, otherwise, Prince Pingxi will definitely make Beizhi's death a hundred times more miserable."

    "Of course." Kong Sizhen pinched Feng Xiang's face with a charming smile, and said sweetly: "As long as Master Lu tells the truth and listens to the arrangement of the slave family, then the slave family will not reveal this matter, on the contrary,  Maybe the slave family will reward you, Master Lu."

    "Thank you Si Gege, thank you very much." Feng Xiang thanked repeatedly, and then said: "Then please ask Si Gege, I must know everything and talk endlessly, and you are satisfied with keeping Si Gege."

    "Very good, Mr. Lu is very smart." Kong Sizhen nodded in satisfaction, then stopped her charming smile, and asked in a deep voice: "On the morning of September 18th in the sixth year of Kangxi, you begged to see Wu Sangui at the foot of Wuhua Mountain.  Wu Sangui opened a pulse report, and Wu Sangui immediately agreed to interview you, what was written on the pulse report?"

    "Xiaozhi wrote sixteen characters on the pulse case." Feng Xiang saw that it was not a serious matter, so he replied truthfully: "The sixteen characters are: The disease of King Xi is rooted in the heart. If you want to get rid of the disease,  You must heal your heart first."

    "What is the root cause of Wu Sangui's heart disease?" Kong Sizhen asked sharply: "You are a new county magistrate, and you have never been to Kunming, let alone the capital. How did you know Wu Sangui's heart disease?"

    Kong Sizhen's two questions are still irrelevant, Feng Xiang thought for a while and decided that it is better to tell the truth, so he told the truth about how he analyzed Wu Sangui's embarrassing situation through the mansion newspaper, and how Wu Sangui's probing of the court turned out to be self-defeating  .  But Kong Sizhen refused to believe that Feng Xiang was able to analyze court secrets from the palace newspapers publicly issued by the Qing court at first, until he sent someone to collect this year's court palace newspapers for comparison, Kong Sizhen believed Feng Xiang's words, and  Couldn't help but praise: "Lord Lu, I can't see that you are not amazing, but you are full of strategy. You can analyze so many things from these trivial things. It seems that my family is going to give a memorial to the emperor. Please give me a lot of advice."  Pay attention to the news published in the mansion newspaper, and don¡¯t let people like Mr. Lu touch the secrets of the court¡¯s actions again.¡±

    "Si Gege won't win the prize." Feng Xiang replied with a sad face: "In the final analysis, the humble job is just a small skill, and Si Gege you are the skill of slaying the dragon - the humble job wrote a letter at the foot of Wuhua Mountain on September 18th, and it has only been a few days  My god, you can feel it clearly at four squares. Even a lowly job can't keep up with this ability in ten thousand years."

    "Really? Your mouth is so sweet." Kong Sizhen smiled happily, pinched Feng Xiang's waist, and said with a coquettish smile: "So sweet-mouthed Mrs. Lu, now you can tell my family what kind of offer you gave Wu Shibo  Is it a cure for heart disease?"

    "It's the key." Feng Xiang was a little nervous, and said in his heart: "Teacher Liu Xuanchu once warned me that I must not let the Tartar court know about the self-respecting plan I offered to the old traitor Wu Sangui, otherwise, no matter whether it is Ao Da  Neither Huzi nor Kang Xiaomazi can spare me. But if I don't tell the truth, what words should I use to deal with this female traitor? This female traitor is lewd and cunning, if I show some flaws, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it from her eyes  "

    "What are you thinking?" Kong Sizhen suddenly exerted force on his hand, twisted the soft part of Feng Xiang's waist, and said with a sneer, "I warn you, if you dare to play tricks, be careful with your head!"

    "Humble job low job" Feng Xiang was in a hurry, while Kong Sizhen's followers picked up the soldering irons again, staring at Feng Xiang with poisonous snake-like gazes, and waited for Kong Sizhen's order, and then they started to fight Feng Xiang.  Xianghuo live baked Guangxi crispy meat.  But Feng Xiang had an idea under his nervousness, and hurriedly shouted: "Sigege, if you say humble job, you?Eliminate San Francisco¡ªbut these political stances and goals of my own have been well hidden in normal times, and almost no one knows about them except for a few confidantes. It is no wonder that Lu Yifeng is so afraid of himself.  After all, persuading Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi to take the initiative to request the withdrawal of the feudal clan was a matter of offending the four feudal clans of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian at the same time.

    "Okay, Master Lu, I'm very satisfied with your answer." Kong Sizhen smiled coquettishly again, and turned around to order: "Put Master Lu down, apply medicine to him, take a bath and change clothes, and bring him to see me." After finishing speaking, Kong Sizhen  Then she turned her head and cast a charming provocative look at Feng Xiang, and walked away with a coquettish smile.

    Of course, after a few years, Kong Sizhen regretted his decision and married the palace, and a certain friend of Kong Sizhen even slapped Kong Sizhen's face one after another, scolding while slapping, "Bitch!  Stinky bitch! At that time, if you, a bitch, killed Lu Yifeng, a big scourge, nothing would happen?" Kong Sizhen knelt down at the feet of his friend and wailed loudly, "Your Majesty, I didn't do it on purpose.  At that time, the slave family really didn't know that he was such a scourge¡ª! Otherwise, the slave family would definitely cut that scourge into pieces and vent their anger on the master!"

    "Don't pull me, let me die!" Like a mad lioness, Kong Sizhen struggled to rush out of the room to grab a knife and kill herself, washing her innocence with blood.  The yamen of Xunzhou prefect can hear clearly, "My family is dead! My family met a man for the sake of my husband's future, and my husband came to blame me for stealing someone! My family is dead, and my family wants to learn from the sages passed down by martyrs and commit suicide.  Lie Festival¡ª¡ª! Woo, the servant¡¯s house is dead"

    "Ge Ge, Ge Ge, don't do stupid things." Sun Yanling knelt in front of Kong Sizhen, hugging Kong Sizhen's legs with both hands, and apologized profusely, "It's because my husband is not good, because my husband shouldn't listen to my little sister."  People¡¯s slanderous rumors suspect Ge Ge, so I¡¯m going to chop up that nonsense Xiaoqi School! Cut it up! Vent Ge Ge¡¯s anger and apologize to Ge Ge!¡±

    "You liar!" Kong Sizhen cried with tears in his eyes: "Like that kind of villain who specializes in slandering the slave family, you use it as a confidant, as a close friend, just to destroy the innocence of the slave family, would you be willing to kill him? Wait  If you tortured the slave family to death, you will go to the second room, right?"

    "Gege, being a husband really doesn't mean that much." Sun Yanling explained with sweat profusely.  Feng Xiang, who was standing next to him, wanted to sell a favor to Kong Sizhen first, so he stepped forward and said: "Sun Junmen, from my humble opinion, you'd better invite the general who slandered and slandered Gege, and ask him to make amends to Gege.  Only by making it clear face to face can Gege calm down, and only then can you explain it clearly to Gege in the military sect."

    "This fat man is really powerful. He clearly wanted to help me kill that talkative Xiaoqi school, but he said it so beautifully." Kong Sizhen cried and gave Feng Xiang a sneaky sideways glance, admiring Feng Xiang's trickery.  Sun Yanling over there was really fooled, and immediately yelled: "What are you explaining? The more you smear, the more black you are! Come on, go and chop off that Wei Shu Xiao Riding School who slandered Gege immediately, and send his head here to calm Gege!"

    "Decree!" The soldiers brought by Sun Yanling outside the door agreed, and soon, a bloody head was sent to the room where Feng Xiang and Sun Yanling were. Sun Yanling held the head and spoke soft words to Kong Sizhen,  Only then did Kong Sizhen, who succeeded in his goal of killing chickens and monkeys, gradually stop crying.  Feng Xiang was secretly stunned, and then he understood why Kong Sizhen was so flirtatious outside, and why Sun Yanling, Kong Sizhen's legal husband, was helpless and kept in the dark all the time¡ªthe eyeliner who informed Sun Yanling was tossed to death by Kong Sizhen like this  One, how many are brave enough to inform Sun Yanling?

    After finally waiting for Kong Sizhen to finish tormenting, Sun Yanling, who was almost cuckolded again, also sat down at the wine table, and began to get close to Feng Xiang, who was almost cuckolded himself, and the purpose was very simple, that is to find out Feng Xiang  The origin and purpose of this, is it to represent Wu Sangui to help him inherit the king of Dingnan?  At first, Kong Sizhen was a little worried that Feng Xiang would reveal his flaws, but soon, Kong Sizhen was pleasantly surprised to find that Feng Xiang was simply a genius who beat snakes with sticks, and insisted that he was Wu Sangui's messenger, and came to discuss with Kong Sizhen on Wu Sangui's behalf.  The one who pushed Sun Yanling to be King Dingnan made Sun Yanling thank you repeatedly, tearfully grateful, and he was so affectionate to Feng Xiang that he called him a brother on the spot.  But in this way, Kong Sizhen inevitably felt vigilant again¡ªthis Fatty Lu is so slippery, and the nonsense can be made up so vividly, so is his statement just now reliable?

    Let's not talk about Kong Sizhen's doubts and worries. In fact, there is a reason why Feng Xiang was able to make up Sun Yanling's words so vividly, and the credit cannot be entirely attributed to Feng Xiang alone.  As I said before, before Feng Xiang left Yunnan to Guangdong, Liu Xuanchu, who was full-time a military officer for Wu Sangui, gave Feng Xiang a lot of detailed introductions to the situation in Guangxi, especially the current situation of the four generals seizing the vassal in Guangxi. Liu Xuanchu introduced to Feng Xiang  To be more detailed¡ªthat is, after Kong Youde¡¯s veteran general Ling Guo¡¯an, who was in charge of Guangxi¡¯s military affairs, resigned as an old man, the four forces in Guangxi fought openly and secretly for the control of Guangxi.  Military power and so on.  Because of this, combined with the conversation between Kong Sizhen and Sun Yanling's husband and wife, Feng Xiang concluded that Sun Yanling must be coveting the Duke of Dingnan left behind by Kong Youde, so he specially followed Kong Sizhen's fabrication of Wu Sangui to support Sun Yanling's succession of the Duke of Dingnan.  The line said that it would be strange if Sun Yanling was not happy.

    "Sun Junmen, don't worry." Feng Xiang patted his chest and said: "After I return to Yunnan, I will definitely report the attitude of the prince, Sun Junmen and Si Gege, please report to the court immediately, and ask the court to grant grandson  Junmen, you inherit the Duke of Dingnan from your father-in-law, Prince Kong, and the prince speaks his mind in the court, so I believe the court will definitely give him face."

    "If this is true, Prince Pingxi will be the reborn parents of the last general!" Sun Yanling said with great joy: "And you, brother Lu, the elder brother will definitely repay you well, absolutely not.?At this point, Feng Xiang also took advantage of Kong Sizhen's departure, quietly grabbed Sun Yanling's wrist and said in a low voice: "Sun Junmen, after the official's boat leaves the dock, I plan to stop for a while in front of the horse skin area.  , I wonder if Sun Junmen can come to Mapi alone? The prince still has some private things to say to Si Gege, and wants the humble official to tell the army gate alone."

    "My lord still has an explanation?" Sun Yanling, who dreamed of inheriting the old father-in-law's throne, his eyes lit up, and immediately lowered his voice and said: "Brother Lu, please rest assured, brother, I will send your sister-in-law back to Xingyuan to settle down, and I will catch up with you alone immediately.  Brother Lu, please talk to me." (Remember this site website: www.hlnovel.com

    Mapi is a small village in the lower reaches of Xunzhou. It is less than seven miles away from Xunzhou City. There is no pier, but the water is gentle and suitable for mooring boats.  After arriving at this section of the river, Feng Xiang stopped the boat and leaned against the bank to wait for Sun Yanling to chase after him.  After the order was conveyed, Feng Xiang asked his servant to make him a cup of tea, leaned against the bulkhead and waited patiently, but Xiao Erlang, Kong Fanlin and the others beside him were impatient. After discussing with each other for a while, Kong Fanlin stood up,  Xiang Fengxiang asked in a low voice: "Master Lu, this place is so close to Xunzhou, we should leave Guangxi as soon as possible, why should we stop? If that bitch Kong Sizhen sends someone to arrest us again, we will  No one can escape."

    A few days ago, if Feng Xiang ordered to park in such a dangerous place, Kong Fanlin and his gang would have turned upside down a long time ago, so would they still ask Feng Xiang for advice in such a low voice?  But today is different again, the emissary team Wu Sangui sent to Guangdong was almost wiped out, if it wasn't for Feng Xiang's three-inch tongue that temporarily blinded Kong Sizhen, with Kong Sizhen's vicious character and the serious consequences of attacking Wu Sangui's emissary team  Well, Kong Sizhen is definitely going to kill and silence everyone.  So, in this way, Kong Fanlin and his group of old Qiu Ba are grateful for Feng Xiang's life-saving grace, and admire Feng Xiang's adaptability, so they will still put on airs of royal guards to influence Feng Xiang's decision at will?  But having said that, Feng Xiang's attitude is still kind, he just shook his head, and said calmly: "It's okay, Kong Sizhen hopes that I can persuade Shang Kexi to agree to withdraw the feudal clan as the special envoy of King Pingxi, and won't attack us casually."

    "Although this is the truth, what's the use of stopping here to wait for Sun Yanling?" Kong Fanlin asked cautiously.  Feng Xiang clasped his fingers together, put his elbows on the table, tapped the center of his brows with two thumb joints, closed his eyes and said slowly: "This time we were ordered to go to Guangdong to do business for the prince, but we were betrayed by a traitor in the Pingxi Palace.  Guangxi was targeted by the Guangxi army, not only lost two brothers, but also wiped out the entire army and was captured alive by the Guangxi army. Although I tried to trick the Guangxi army and let them let us go, but if that¡¯s the case, forget it.  In front of the lord, no matter what, you have to leave an impression of incompetence. Wang Shirong, that narrow-minded bastard, also had to make some slander in front of the lord, exaggerating our three-point crimes to 100%. In a rage, the lord, you and I  At least, the future will not be guaranteed, and at worst, the head will fall to the ground. So there is no way, our only chance now is to turn this incident in Guangxi into a good one, and let the situation in Guangxi develop towards the situation that is beneficial to the prince. In this way, we  At least we can offset our merits and demerits, so the prince will not do anything to us."

    "But Lord Lu, how can we make the situation in Guangxi develop in favor of the prince?" Kong Fanlin asked curiously.  Feng Xiang smiled, let go of his hands and said with a smile: "Of course it falls on Sun Yanling. This guy is the admiral of Guangxi. He has a certain strength and influence in his hands. If he can cooperate with the prince, the prince will be very happy."  of."

    "Lord Lu, you and Sun Yanling have no relationship or reason, can you persuade him?" Kong Fanlin was still very worried.  Feng Xiang smiled, and was about to mock the gap between Sun Yanling and his coquettish wife, when the servant guarding the stern shouted, "Master, Sun Junmen is here!"

    "Sure enough!" Feng Xiang was overjoyed, he got up and walked to the stern to have a look, and he saw Sun Yanling and a few soldiers chasing him on fast horses, Feng Xiang hurriedly ordered: "Quickly put down the springboard, get out of the way!"  A cabin, I want to have a private talk with Sun Junmen."

    A moment later, Sun Yanling rushed directly onto Feng Xiang's boat with a few soldiers. After Feng Xiang exchanged polite words with him and saluted each other, he immediately led him into the cabin that had been prepared just now, and arranged for servants and guards  Keep a close watch on board and disembark.  And Sun Yanling was obviously more anxious than Feng Xiang, as soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Lu, you said that Prince Pingxi has some confidential matters that you want you to tell me. What kind of words are you talking about? Brother Lu, please speak up."

    "Sun Junmen, brother, let me just say it straight." Feng Xiang was not polite, and asked directly: "Sun Junmen, how many troops are there in Guangxi now? How many troops can you directly control? If you inherit Queen Dingnan  , How many troops can you control with certainty?"

    "Brother Lu, why are you asking this?" Sun Yanling is indeed a political idiot, not only can't see Feng Xiang's deliberate trap, he can't even see the illusion of Feng Xiang's devious tricks to cover up the trap.

    "My God, you don't understand what these questions mean, but you still want to be King Dingnan with this ability?" Feng Xiang lamented in his heart, but in desperation, Feng Xiang could only smile wryly and said: "Sun Junmen, my lord, please let me down!"  The official asked you the meaning of these words, can't you understand? Now that the four heroes in Guangxi are fighting for hegemony, Yu Xuan, Ma Xiong, Dai Liangchen and your Sun Junmen, the four forces are all qualified to compete for the succession of the Dingnan King, Sun Junmen  You are just one of them. In this way, even if the prince wants to support Sun Junmen and you become King Dingnan, he must at least find out about Sun Junmen, but he snorted coldly in his heart, "Boy, if you dare to play tricks on me, and begged for military pay and broke your promise to get fat, you don't need to kill yourself, I will kill you with my own hands!"

    "Idiot! You must be thinking, if I dare to lie to you, you will definitely settle with me, right?" Feng Xiang also snorted coldly in his heart, "It's a pity that this memorial of yours can only add one piece of money to the traitor Wu Sangui.  The bargaining chip for the Zi court, the Tazi court is going crazy now to cut the military pay, and will increase your pay? If you sell you, you have to count the money for the old men!"

    After the cold snort, Feng Xiang made some calculations, then lowered his voice and said: "Sun Junmen, I want to say something to my heart. Before this memorial is approved by the court, it is best not to let Si Gege know. I want Sun Jun  The door also knows that Si Gege is Heshuo Gege who is in charge of Guangxi's military, political and civil affairs. If she knows this memorial, even if Si Gege agrees with the army to do so, the soldiers of the Guangxi army will only be grateful to Si Gege.  I will not be grateful to Sun Junmen."

    "Don't worry, of course I understand this point." Sun Yanling replied with a smile: "What the elders do, women should go away!" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com

    (ps: Children's Day is here, I wish all friends a happy holiday - although it is more than ten or twenty years late, please ask for the collection and recommendation tickets in June.)

    In Guangzhou City in the early years of Kangxi, only the residential houses located in the inner city were neat, tall and prosperous, and the two Pingnan Palaces in the middle were even more magnificent, majestic and luxurious.  But it is a pity that, like all the big cities in China in this era, the bustling and safe inner city is only eligible to live in the Banner Banners of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty and their families and family members.  They could only drag their families and live in the dilapidated, small and dark outer city, which formed an incomparably sharp contrast with the inner city¡ªand in the city of Guangzhou, this contrast was especially obvious.

    Just after noon on the second day of October, on the official road outside the west gate of Guangzhou under the scorching sun, a dusty carriage ran over from west to east, and the driver sitting on the driver's seat was  An old man over the age of sixty, with strong muscles and bones, and very energetic, was driving a carriage with one hand, and fanning the wind with one hand holding a bamboo hat.  "What the hell is this weather? It's already October, why is it still so hot? God, do you want us Cantonese to live?"

    Walking to the side of Ximen City in Guangzhou, the old man found a shady place and stopped, fanning the wind, turned his head and rushed into the carriage, shouting: "Madam, San'er, we're in Guangzhou, Ma'am, didn't you say that you must bring San'er to see?"  Are you looking at Guangzhou City, why don¡¯t you come out?¡±

    "Son, son, we're in Guangzhou, wake up, wake up." A clear female voice came from the carriage.  After a while, the faint snoring in the carriage finally stopped, and a rough man's voice also came out, "Mother, it's not yet dawn, I'll go to sleep." Immediately afterwards, the snoring sounded again  .

    "Silly son, we're in Guangzhou!" The female voice shouted impatiently, and there were two crisp physical impact sounds from the carriage, as if the woman had slapped her son hard.  After being woken up, the male voice cheered, "What? Arrived in Guangzhou? I want to get out of the car, get out of the car!" Before he finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage had been knocked open, and a short, fat, dark half-sized man  He jumped out, splashed a lot of dust and smoke when he landed, and left two and a half inch deep footprints on the solid ground!  Then I looked up at the Guangzhou City Tower not far away, and the half-child, who was only fifteen or six years old, immediately cheered, "We have arrived in Guangzhou! The city walls are so high! Father, mother, look, the city walls of Guangzhou are much taller than the city walls."  We in Zhaoqing are much taller!"

    "Silly boy, have you learned a lot?" Amidst the loving chuckle, a slender woman also jumped out of the carriage and stood still under the carriage lightly.  When they saw the woman's face clearly, the eyes of the passers-by could not help but brighten up. It turned out that the woman who was called Mrs. by the old driver turned out to be very young and beautiful. She was in her thirties, with handsome features and a curvaceous figure.  Well, it is an extremely rare and beautiful young woman.  Then look at the old driver with gray braids, at least in his sixties, almost every passer-by couldn't believe that this beautiful young woman was really the wife of the old driver, let alone that such a beautiful young woman would give birth to such a beautiful woman.  An ugly son, and almost every passerby has such a thought in his heart-what a flower stuck in cow dung!

    ("It's a terrible strange flower stuck on a piece of good cow dung!" The old driver roared!)

    "Ma'am, can we go into the city?" The old driver asked the beautiful young woman, wiping his sweat, "If we don't go into the city, we can eat something outside the city and take San'er around the city wall.  Let¡¯s go on the road, we should be able to reach Mude to spend the night tonight.¡±

    "It's rare to take San'er out for a trip, so of course I have to take him into the city to have a look." The beautiful young woman smiled sweetly, grabbed her son who was eager to enter the city, and said to the old driver:  Before entering the city, let's go to the east gate first, take San'er to see those things, let him learn more, and then go to the city to stay overnight."

    "Ma'am, are you really going?" the old driver asked seriously.  The beautiful young woman nodded and did not speak. She just pulled her son back into the car and sat down outside the car. She picked up the whip and said, "Master, you are tired after driving for a long time. You go to rest in the car, and I will drive the car."  Dongmen, I know the way here."

    The old man hesitated for a while, but in the end he couldn't hold back his beloved wife's decision. He got into the carriage and sat down. The beautiful young woman drove the carriage with a whip, took her half-old son around the city, and slowly circled towards the east gate.  The middle-aged and half-year-old who went out for a long time kept yelling in the car, pointing at the city wall of Guangzhou, excited, "Mother, look quickly, it's so tall! Father, look quickly, it's so deep!"  The moat! Mother, look quickly, the street is so wide, much wider than ours in Zhaoqing! Haha, there are so many people!"

    "Yes, yes, Saner, please keep your voice down, Daddy.??, the only little bit of goodwill towards that fat white man¡ªnaturally our Lu Yifeng Lu Fatty Lu Da County Magistrate¡ªwas swept away.

    "Understood." The county magistrate Lu Da, who came here to receive class revolutionary education, did not agree angrily. He glanced sideways at the three members of the beautiful young woman's family, and said to himself, "What is this family doing here? Look at that woman's eyes are red and swollen.  , there are still tears on my face, I must have cried just now, and I must cry here for the Guangdong people who were massacred by the Manchu Manchus. I just don¡¯t know where they are from. Could it be that my teacher asked me to work hard in the coastal and Jiangnan areas?  The anti-Qing Fuming patriots I met? But seeing that they are one old, one young, and a fierce woman, it is unlikely that they are anti-Qing Fuming patriots, and it should be just the survivors of the Guangzhou Massacre who came to mourn the murdered relatives."

    Wiping away his tears secretly, the magistrate Lu Da, who came here to receive patriotic education, left the site of the Guangzhou Massacre with a large group of unscrupulous servants and traitor guards, boarded the car and started to rush to Guangzhou City.  Along the way, the magistrate of Lu Da County sat in the carriage without saying a word, showing no expression on his face, showing no joy, anger, sorrow or joy, but even so, Xiao Erlang, who had been replaced as a coachman, still cautiously expressed  The county magistrate Lu asked: "Master Feng, what's wrong with you? Are you still angry and complaining that the little one is talking nonsense and causing you trouble? If this is the case, then the little one will swear that he will never say such things again  Talk."

    "How do you know that I'm still angry? How can you tell?" Lu Da County Magistrate asked in surprise¡ªbecause Liu Xuanchu taught him that the city is not enough, Lu Da County Magistrate has been practicing how to hide his emotions  of color.  Xiao Erlang replied with a smirk: "Young master, you have been silent all the way, and you also look unhappy, of course you can see it."

    "Really? Even you can see my thoughts. It seems that I will have to practice more in this area in the future, so as not to meet the teacher next time, and the teacher will say that I am not enough." The county magistrate Lu laughed  .  Seeing the magistrate Lu smiling, Xiao Erlang heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly asked, "Master, where are you unhappy? Tell the little one, as long as the little one can do it, I will go through fire and water for you."

    The county magistrate of Lu Da tried his best to smile again, and said to himself, can I tell you what I am unhappy about?  If I yelled outside the city of Guangzhou that Shang Kexi is a bastard, a hard-core traitor who slaughtered his compatriots, and I would kill his whole family to avenge the people of Guangzhou¡ª¡ªthen I would be Feng Dadu, not Feng Dadu.  Oh, no, if I want to train the city, I must first fully integrate into Lu Yifeng's identity, otherwise I will be in big trouble if I accidentally say something wrong!  From now on, I myself have to think that I am Lu Yifeng.  While he was thinking about it, Kong Fanlin, who was driving the car instead of Xiao Erlang, came up and asked: "Master Lu, if you don't enter Guangzhou City today, you must come here first to see the Guangzhou Gongzuo.  Someone in my family died in Guangzhou too?"

    "That's not true." The magistrate of Lu Da County wanted to admit this reason casually, but considering that sooner or later the Manchu court and Wu Sangui and other forces would find out about the eighteenth generation of his ancestors, if he admitted this reason indiscriminately, I'm afraid it would be the opposite.  It aroused their suspicion, so the county magistrate Lu Da immediately denied it, and then pretended to be mysterious and said: "Actually, I have been wondering about one thing - after Prince Dingnan killed so many people in Guangzhou seventeen years ago,  Why did you allow Master Shizhen to hire people to collect corpses and burn corpses to pile up mountains? Isn¡¯t this discrediting yourself? That¡¯s why I wanted to come here with my own eyes to see if there is such a communal tomb here. But after arriving here,  I saw this common tomb with my own eyes, and I understood the good intentions of Prince Dingnan, and also understood the brilliance of Prince Dingnan."

    "What good intentions does Prince Dingnan have? What's so clever about it?" Kong Fanlin asked, then looked at his companions on the left and right, and said in a low voice: "Master Lu, although our brothers have a good friendship, you also understand that this kind of thing  If I don't report it to the prince, if someone else secretly reports it, brother, I will have no way to explain it to the prince."

    "Brother understands." Lu Da County Magistrate nodded with a smile, thanked Kong Fanlin, and said with a smile: "The truth is actually very simple. The Prince of Pingnan deliberately allowed Master Shizhen to collect the corpses piled up in the mountain, not for the people of Guangdong to see, but for the court.  Look! It¡¯s a pity for you to think about it, if you are the prime ministers of the imperial court, what would you think if you came here and saw this high mountain tomb? Do you think that Prince Pingnan is really loyal to the imperial court, for our sake?  How much sacrifice did the Qing Dynasty endure forever? How much infamy did it bear? Can it leave a good impression on Prince Dingnan? Therefore, for Prince Pingnan, this communal tomb is actually a monument to the Qing Dynasty.  A monument of loyalty!"

    "No wonder." Kong Fanlin suddenly realized, scratching his head and said: "Brother Lu has read books and is knowledgeable. Hearing what you said, I also understand.  Seeing this common tomb in Guangzhou, I will definitely like Prince Pingnan very much. But our Prince Pingxi is stupid, why not do this in Kunming Forget it, it¡¯s better not to talk about this kind of thing, our Yunnan-Guizhou army doesn¡¯t kill people randomly  people."

    "That's all for Wu Sangui. At least he didn't help the Manchus to carry out massacres. Otherwise, I would rather go to Taiwan to vote for Zheng Jing than to be elected as an official for him." County magistrate Lu Da muttered in his heart, and then  Sighing, he said, "You can't talk too much about this kind of thing. Well, it's getting late. Hurry up and enter Guangzhou City, or you'll have to spend the night outside the city."  The horses rushed west to the city of Guangzhou.

    Fortunately, I hurried all the way back to Guangzhou City. It was just over halfway through the afternoon application time, and the county magistrate Lu Da and his party entered the outer city of Guangzhou smoothly. In the dilapidated streets of the outer city?? Where are we heading into town?  Originally, we wanted to honor you with some tea money, but you want so much, how can us poor guards afford so much money?  "

    "That's right, how can we get so much money?" Kong Fanlin and other unscrupulous guards bluffed knowingly.  The guard surnamed Yu believed that the city gate official had preconceived intentionally to make things difficult. Now that Lu Yifeng said this, he couldn't help being furious, and angrily shouted at the city gate officer: "You bastard, the person sent by Prince Pingxi  Dare to extort money to buy roads, are you tired of living?"

    "Guard Yu, there is no such thing as a lowly position!" The city gate official panicked¡ªthis guard surnamed Yu is directly subordinate to Shang Kexi's guard, and although his grade is not high, he can directly send his words to Shang Kexi.  When the words reached Shang Kexi's ears, his head as a city gate official was hanging.  Lu Yifeng asked the city gate officer very seriously and politely: "Master gate officer, since you said you didn't say these things, why don't you allow us to enter the city?"

    "I just want to get some money for tea." The city gate official replied blurted out.  Before the words finished, Kong Fanlin and other unscrupulous guards shouted, "General Yu, did you hear that? This kid admitted it himself!"

    "I didn't admit it!" The city gate officer panicked even more, only then did he realize that he had kicked the iron plate this time, and unexpectedly provoked such a big disaster as Lu Yifeng.  It's a pity that Kong Fanlin's gang of unscrupulous guards refused to let him go, and immediately shouted together, "You didn't admit it? Then what did you mean by charging tea money?" Lu Yifeng was secretly happy, "Damn, look  You are so vicious, you are definitely not a good bird in normal times, right? If I don¡¯t harm you, how can I be worthy of the ordinary people who are usually bullied by you? "

    "Shut up for me!" The guard surnamed Yu also became angry, and roared at the city gate officer, "Stop embarrassing the prince here, and I will report to the prince later, and see how the prince will deal with you!"

    "Brother Yu, please spare me!" The city gate official almost collapsed on the ground in fright¡ªthis kind of thing let the famous murderer know, is he still alive?  Quickly knelt down on both knees, kowtowed like smashing garlic, and said with snot and tears: "Brother Yu, please forgive me, please don't report it to the lord, I don't dare, I won't dare again."

    "What's the matter? How did it become like this?" At this moment, a soft and icy voice came from behind the curtain of the carriage, and then, the curtain was lifted, and a maid helped a Han man  Girls in women's attire come out.  When he saw the girl's appearance clearly, Lu Yifeng, a little virgin in his heart, couldn't help but feel moved. It turned out that the girl who got out of the car was quite beautiful, with big eyes and small mouth, handsome facial features, fair and tender skin.  At the age of 10 years, although his body and appearance are not fully grown, he is inferior to Kong Sizhen, but the pure temperament exuded from his body is very unique, his expression is indifferent, his eyes are cold, and his expression seems to be indifferent to everything around him - using Lu Yifeng's  In terms of modern aesthetics, it is a cold and beautiful girl who belongs to this age, which is very rare.

    "It's not bad looking, it's very pure, it's the type I like." Lu Yifeng swallowed secretly, and hurriedly asked Kong Fanlin next to him: "Brother Kong, you are a well-informed guard of the Pingxi Palace¡ªthis woman should be Shang  Delightful daughter, do you know her name?"

    "Lord Lu was just joking." Kong Fanlin replied in a low voice, "I heard that Prince Pingnan has more than one hundred children, and Prince Pingnan himself doesn't know what the names of the children are. How could I know her name?"  ?¡±

    "More than a hundred children? How many women have been harmed by the old man Shang?!" Lu Da County Lingfeng was speechless.  Kong Fanlin looked at the county magistrate Lu, then at the icy girl, suddenly understood something, hurriedly lowered his voice and said with a smirk: "What's the matter? Brother Lu, it was love at first sight? But you'd better not get too serious about your lovesickness."  , our brother is the identity, and what is her identity, brother Lu, you fat toad, you can't eat swan meat."

    "That's not necessarily true." The county magistrate Lu snorted coldly in a low voice, unconvinced, and said shamelessly: "Brother, I am handsome and elegant, as long as I just wink, how many women like this can't be attracted? Look good  Come on, brother, I will make this princess fall into lovesickness tonight!" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com

    "Miss Gege." Seeing Shang Kexi's daughter coming out, the guard surnamed Yu hurried forward, nodded and bowed and said: "Miss Gege, it's nothing serious, even if Prince Pingxi sent someone to visit our prince, it turned out that the gate of the inner city  The officials don't have eyes, and they want to get them some money to buy the road."

    As he said that, the guard surnamed Yu briefly introduced what he saw and heard just now, and the city gate officer naturally shouted for grievances, and kowtowed at the cold girl repeatedly, wailing with snot and tears, "Madam Gege, please forgive me.  Madam Gege, please forgive me! The younger one is a little troublesome to the people sent by Prince Pingxi, but the younger one dares to swear with his head that he never said anything about extorting fifty taels of money to buy the road! Mistress Gege, the younger one knows that you have the best heart  , must save the life of the little one, there are old and young, and if the prince hears these framing, the little family will die!"

    As he said that, the city gate officer kowtowed repeatedly until his forehead bled, crying so much that the world changed color, and the sun and the moon were dark, but the cold girl remained expressionless, with no waves in her eyes.  Seeing this scene, our County Magistrate Lu couldn't help snorting in his heart, saying that he really deserves to be the daughter of the old traitor Shang Kexi who caused the Guangzhou Massacre. A big man kneeled in front of him and cried like this, and even his eyelids were so dark.  Don't blink, what is a heart of stone?  This is a heart of stone!

    Lengheng returned to Lengheng, County Magistrate Lu, who had been displeased with the city gate officer from the very beginning, would not miss such an opportunity to beat up the dog in the water, so he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed deeply to the cold girl, and tried his best to pose  He thought that he was the most handsome, sunny and able to hook up with girls from good families, so he said politely: "Lu Yifeng, the humble official, met the Princess Pingnan Wang. I have heard what the door official said just now. I didn't mean to destroy it deliberately.  The harmony between the Pingxi Palace and the Pingnan Palace, I just hope that the princess can truthfully report what happened in front of the city gate to the Pingnan Prince, so that the prince can know that the people from the Pingxi Palace have no intention of offending the Pingnan Palace.  Yes. If the prince still thinks that the subordinate is unreasonable, then no matter whether the prince is beating or killing, the subordinate will not frown. Of course, if the prince thinks that the subordinate has done nothing wrong, the subordinate will never make things difficult for the family.  My lord, this matter can be regarded as never having happened."

    "Master Lu." The cold girl finally spoke, her voice was clear and pleasant, but her tone was as cold as her temperament, "If you want this door official's life, just say so, and you can't use the little girl as a swordsman."

    "Princess, what do you mean?" The magistrate Lu's sinister intentions were exposed by the girl's words, and he couldn't help being embarrassed, so he had to bite the bullet and pretend to be confused.  The cold girl also showed some disgust, and asked coldly: "Master Lu, this city gate official, as my father's subordinate, has humiliated my father in front of you people in the Pingxi Palace, can my father not kill him?"  He vented his anger? Isn't your lord's intentions too vicious?"

    "Princess Princess, it can't be so serious, right?" County Magistrate Lu's fat face turned red again.  The cold girl no longer bothered to pay attention to the brazen magistrate Lu, turned to the city gate officer who was desperately kowtowing for mercy and said, "You are corrupt and extorting bribes, and your crime is unforgivable. Since Ben Gege has encountered this incident, I have to dismiss you from your post."  As a punishment¡ªgo home immediately, pack up your things, and leave Guangdong with your wife and children.¡±

    "Miss Xie Gege, Mistress Xie Gege. Mistress Gege, you really are the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who came to the world, and you have a heart." The city gate official was overjoyed when he was dismissed, and kowtowed desperately to the cold girl, crying his thanks.  The cold girl said again, "Let's go now, if the father loses his temper, I won't be able to save you."

    After all, the cold girl didn't even look at County Magistrate Lu, she turned around and got back into the carriage, and ordered the team to enter the city.  Full of hatred, he glared at the magistrate Lu with a vicious look, and immediately scrambled home to pack his luggage and flee for his life.  Seeing this scene, County Magistrate Lu felt a little more confident, and thought: "It seems that it is gratifying that the old traitor not only kills his compatriots a lot, but he will never be merciful to those who make mistakes, otherwise  If so, such a trivial matter would require the whole family to flee for their lives? But then again, the old traitor is pretty good at cheating on this daughter¡ªit¡¯s just that he¡¯s too blind. Standing in front of me, a handsome guy like me, doesn¡¯t even move his heart?  Could it be that this girl is naturally frigid?!"

    "It's really pitiful for such a good girl to have such a mental illness." The chubby magistrate Lu said shamelessly in his heart: "But it doesn't matter, as long as I have the chance to meet her again and spend three minutes alone with her, I will definitely be able to  Help her cure this problem."

    After all these twists and turns, the gang of guards at the gates of the inner city of Guangzhou did not dare to make things difficult for Lu Yifeng and his party anymore, and the county magistrate of Lu Da was finally able to enter the magnificent inner city of Guangzhou under the hatred eyes of the guards.  Ready to go to Pingnan Palace to hand over Wu Sangui's letter to ask for an interview, eat and drink casually.??.  Jin Guang said with a sinister smile: "My lord, Wu Sangui's old man has never dealt with you, and he has never exchanged letters, let alone the slightest contact. This time, he suddenly sent someone to contact the lord. It must be related to the recent rumors of salary reduction in the court. My lord.  Why don't you take this opportunity to give Wu Sangui a hard time? In this way, my lord, you will not only disgust this old man Wu Sangui, but also let the court know whether your lord is loyal or not?"

    "What do you mean? If Wu Sangui's letter contains any unfaithful or unfilial words, I will take the opportunity to hand over his letter to the court?" Shang Kexi pondered: "However, with that old man's treachery, how could he put it in the letter?"  Leave such words up and down, leaving real evidence?"

    "What the prince said is very true. With Wu Sangui's treachery, it is impossible to produce real evidence." Jin Guang's smile became more and more treacherous, and he said with a treacherous smile: "But the emissary of Wu Sangui, Lu Yifeng, is not a living witness? If the prince  Isn't it a great achievement for you to have received him, to have a little flirtation with him, to say something unfavorable to Wu Sangui out of his mouth, and then to take him to the court?"

    "Brilliant plan!" The old traitor Shang, who longed for disgusting Wu Sangui for a long time, slapped his thigh, and said with a smile: "Okay, let Mr. Jin do as he says, quickly, send someone to send him in, and the king will receive him while eating!  "

 Chapter 18

    ?

    (ps: There are two updates today, the first one will be delivered, please recommend, collect, and reward.)

    "What? Your lord agrees to meet me?" Hearing the order delivered by King Pingnan's guards, the already somewhat hopeless Lu Da county magistrate was so overjoyed that he couldn't believe his ears¡ªwhen he set off from Kunming, Liu Xuanchu  However, he had introduced Shang Kexi and Wu Sangui to the magistrate of Da County Lu about the situation of Shang Kexi and Wu Sangui, so the magistrate of Da County Lu was already mentally prepared to be rejected.

    "What are you talking about? Didn't you hear clearly?" The guard of the Pingnan Palace who came to deliver the order impatiently waved his hand and repeated: "The prince will meet you in the Jiujian Hall, come with us, the people you brought to the front  Rest at the inn, there will be someone to entertain them."

    "Thank you, thank you." County Magistrate Lu Da was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned around and told Kong Fanlin, Xiao Erlang and others to rest at the post station, while he followed the guards into the Pingnan Palace, and rushed all the way to the most luxurious mansion in Shang Kexi's mansion.  The magnificent Nine Houses¡ª¡ªAlthough the county magistrate Lu did not intend to curry favor with the old traitor Shang, but after finally coming to this era, the county magistrate Lu Da was very happy to be able to witness the ugly face of the old traitor Shang with his own eyes.  .  But at this moment, the magistrate Lu Da followed the two guards around the front hall and rushed to the back garden. One of the guards suddenly slowed down and said in a very low voice in the ear of the magistrate Lu: "Four  There is an order to tell you to be smart, playing tricks is not good for you."

    "What?" County Magistrate Lu Da was taken aback, and when he looked up at the guard again, the guard changed his serious face and shouted, "Why? Didn't you hear me? Tell you to dust off your body, so as not to dirty the prince."  The Nine Halls, do you understand?"

    "Understood, understood." County Magistrate Lu agreed with a frowning face, and even more frowning brushed off the dirt and dust stained on his body during the journey, thinking to himself, "Oh no! I never thought that bitch Kong Sizhen would actually be placed in the Pingnan Palace.  I got the eyeliner, and I told them in advance to let these eyeliners warn me and keep an eye on me. In this way, I have to make a fake show to persuade Shang Kexi, the old traitor, to take the initiative to ask for withdrawal, otherwise Kong Sizhen, the female traitor, will be killed immediately.  If you know that the things I said in Xunzhou are all lies to her, you will definitely not let me off easily. But if you say so, the old traitor Shang believes it is true, and you really want to join hands with the old traitor Wu Sangui to request the withdrawal of the feudal clan, then  Wu Sangui old traitor still has to peel my skin?!"

    In a dilemma, although the county magistrate Lu could still remain calm on the surface, the previous elation in his heart had been swept away. While tremblingly following the two guards to meet the old traitor Shang, he quickly calculated countermeasures in his mind  , and the luxurious palace built with exhaustion of people's fat and people's aspirations is also out of sight, but all the way to the front of the Nine Halls, our Fatty Lu County Magistrate still hasn't figured out an appropriate strategy, I don't know whether we should follow Wu Sangui this old  When the traitor comes, he should follow Kong Sizhen, the female traitor, and he is helpless for a while.  But the two guards leading the way for Lu Da County Magistrate didn't care so much, they just urged: "Hurry up, the prince will summon you here, don't make the prince wait too long."

    "No way, let's adapt to the situation after we go in!" The magistrate of Lu Da County gritted his teeth, strode into the hall with his head held high, and then passed through the main hall paved with white stones specially transported from Zhaoqing to the side hall.  He was led to the door of a very elegantly furnished wing room, and just as the guards were about to go forward to report, they heard a rough voice in the room saying: "Wan Yi, this is the vegetarian food that Dad asked someone to prepare for you.  See if it suits your taste, if not, ask the cook to redo it."

    "Thank you dad, the vegetarian food is very delicious, you don't need to do it again." A very crisp but not very warm female voice said softly: "Father, you should also eat more vegetarian food. My daughter heard from the doctor that there is a lot of meat every day."  And delicacies from mountains and seas are not good for your health."

    "I'm still filial and filial. I know how to care about my father's body. It's much better than your brothers and sisters who only know how to eat, drink, play cards and watch theaters every day." The rough man laughed, looking very satisfied with his daughter's filial piety, "Okay,  Dad listens to you, eat more vegetarian food in the future, but you also have to eat more meals with dad, don't run to monk temples and nunneries all day long, if you want to worship Buddha, dad can ask someone to build a Buddhist hall for you.  "

    "Huh? Is there really such a fate between me and this girl?" Hearing the woman's voice, the innocent heart of Fatty Lu County Magistrate Lu couldn't help beating a little faster.  At this time, the guard guarding the wing had already reported the news that the county magistrate Lu had brought to old traitor Shang, at first the rough male voice immediately shouted: "Tell him to come in."

    Hearing this, the county magistrate Lu quickly straightened his clothes again, strode into the room with his chest straightened out, and took a closer look at the door.  Opposite the girl sat an ugly old man in his sixties, with luxurious clothes, a ferocious face, high cheekbones, short beard around his eyes, tall and fat as our county magistrate Lu??The master-slave with evil intentions exchanged glances with each other again, thinking that as expected, that old fox Wu Sangui did not leave any clues in the autographed letter, except for the disgusting friendship and the nonsense of mutual greetings in the whole letter  , the only sentence with enough weight is that there is something else important for the emissary Lu Yifeng to report to his face. It seems that if he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to get along with his old enemy Wu Sangui, the only way is to open a gap from this big fat man.  Thinking up to this point, the old traitor Shang coughed and asked, "Lu Yifeng, I have accepted the letter you brought. Prince Pingxi said in the letter that there are still some small matters that you need to report to the king face to face.  The king is a little free now, so let¡¯s talk about something.¡±

    "Oops, I was just peeking at the beauties, and I completely forgot how to prepare for negotiations with the monk and the traitor." The county magistrate Lu Da, who had just come back to his senses, groaned in his heart, and in desperation had no choice but to use the trick he used to deal with Kong Sizhen last time.  Quickly figuring out the countermeasures, while pretending to delay the time, carefully looking around and asking: "My lord, is it convenient for me to talk here?"

    "It's funny, it seems that old bastard Wu Sangui is really planning to play some tricks." The old traitor Shang was secretly happy, and hurriedly pretended to be calm and lazily waved his hands and said: "Tell me, this place is very safe, the people in this prince's mansion,  They are all reliable people that the king can trust. Mr. Jin, bring a chair for Mr. Lu, let him sit down and talk slowly."

    "No wonder it's safe! If it's really safe and reliable, that female traitor Kong Sizhen won't be able to reach in!" County Magistrate Lu snorted coldly in his heart.  Numb feeling¡ª¡ªif I was under the surveillance of her eyeliner, if I played tricks and played tricks, with the cruelty and viciousness of that female traitor, I would definitely die before I got the lesson, and the hero would burst into tears.  Thinking up to this point, County Magistrate Lu gritted his teeth again, secretly made up his mind, first thanked Jin Guang for the chair he brought, sat opposite old Shang's treacherous father and daughter, and said seriously: "If that's the case, then it's a shameful post."

    "Let's talk." The old traitor Shang waved his hand lazily again, but his eyes couldn't wait to wink at Jin Guang.  The secretary's office made preparations for the transcript, and recorded every word Lu Daxian magistrate said, in case the old traitor Shang would sue Wu Sangui for tricks to the court in the future.  But to the astonishment of the old traitor Shang and the dog-headed military advisor Jin Guang, the magistrate of Lu Da County actually said

    "Prince Pingnan, you dare to speak out." Lu Da County Magistrate said very seriously: "I was ordered to visit the prince this time, not for anything else, but to persuade the prince to take the initiative to ask the court to remove San Francisco and let the three  The prince returns to his hometown in Liaodong to take care of himself!"

    Note: Jin Guang, Shang Kexi's staff member, is not a fictional character, he is a historical figure, he is extremely trusted and reused by the old traitor, and he is also a hardcore traitor.  The arms were merged, restraining a large number of Wu Sangui's troops, and was later killed by Shang Zhixin.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 19 Enhanced version of Qing Zhongliang Lu Yifeng

    ?

    "What? I heard it right, right?" The old man Shang, who was preparing to confess to Wu Sangui, the county magistrate of Taolu, stood up and shouted in shock, "You want to persuade this king to go to the court and ask for the withdrawal of the feudal clan and return to Liaodong."  Elderly care at home?"

    "What? Did I hear you right?" The dog-headed military commander Jin Guang was also dumbfounded, and murmured again: "You came to Guangdong under the order of King Pingxi, and you wanted to persuade the prince to go to the court, ask for the withdrawal of the feudal clan, and return to your hometown in Liaodong for the elderly.  ?¡±

    "That's right, that's right!" Lu Da County Magistrate nodded solemnly, and said loudly with great seriousness: "My lord Mingjian, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, I have fought for dozens of years, and finally entered the Central Plains and ruled the world.  Emperor Wen, Emperor Shizu Zhang, and the current Emperor Kangxi have worked hard for decades, and now they have the image of a peaceful and prosperous country! For the long-term stability of the Qing Dynasty, and for the long-term stability of the Qing Dynasty, I am humble and bold. I implore the prince to show up  The imperial court, take the initiative to request the removal of the San Francisco!"

    The old traitor Shang was dumbfounded, and the dog-headed military commander Jin Guang was dumbfounded, but Shang Wanyan's expression remained cold, as if he hadn't heard the shocking words of the county magistrate Lu.  After a long time, Jin Guang stammered to break the deadlock, and asked, "Lord Lu, youyou don't have a high fever, do you? What nonsense are you talking about? For the long-term peace and stability of the Qing Dynasty, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, the prince is needed  What is the rationale for the above table that the imperial court voluntarily requested to withdraw the feudal domain?"

    "The lower official has the guts to ask, what is the name of this gentleman?" County Magistrate Lu Da asked tentatively.  Jin Guang smiled and asked back: "Master Lu, why are you so sure that I am just a gentleman, not an adult?"

    "Sir, you are not an adult, but ordinary adults are not as good as you." The county magistrate Lu replied with a serious expression, "Sir, your right index finger is slightly bent, and there is a dark yellow callus on the inside of your middle finger.  It¡¯s a person who has been writing for many years. Also, sir, you are wearing thin-soled white-edged black-faced shoes, which are often worn by Confucian scholars, instead of official court shoes. It is common for an official to wear regular shoes-but this is Pingnan  In the palace, how dare an ordinary official come here to pay respects to the lord? How dare he dress like this? As for why the humble official thinks that the gentleman¡¯s status is far superior to that of an ordinary official, this point is simpler.  How could there be such a qualification?"

    The old traitor Shang and Jin Guang opened their mouths wide together again, looking at each other, but Shang Wanyan still had a frosty look, turning a blind eye to Magistrate Lu's deliberate flaunting - it made our Fatty Magistrate Lu so sad  .  After the shock, Jin Guang laughed and said: "Master Lu is indeed a genius in the world. He knows a lot about it. Yes, the student's surname is Jin Mingguang. He really has no official position. He is appreciated by Prince Pingnan. He is currently in charge of swords and pens for him in the palace."

    "It turned out to be Master Jin, who has long admired the great name of Master Zhuge in Guangdong. Today I can see your honor, and I am lucky to be an official." Lu Da County Magistrate hypocritically cupped his hands, cursing in his heart that he still hadn't completely corrected his reckless behavior.  Disadvantages of character¡ª¡ªFor an old and traitorous confidant like Jin Guang, at the very least, I should first grasp his personality, temper, background and background, so that I can prescribe the right medicine to deal with him.  .

    Jin Guang smiled slightly, and said modestly: "Master Lu has won the award. When did the student have the name of Little Zhuge? When it comes to talent and knowledge, Liu Xuanchu and Liu Maoxia from the shogunate of Prince Pingxi are the current Kongming, and the reincarnation of Zhuge. Even the current emperor praises him very much."  He said nothing, and planned to invite all Mr. Liu to the capital with high-ranking officials and rich salary, and to be appointed in the court."

    "Damn it, this kid is very shady¡ªif such words reach the ears of the old traitor Wu Sangui, with Wu Sangui's narrow-minded eyes, he will not be suspicious of my teacher?" County Magistrate Lu snorted coldly in his heart, looking at Jin Guang  His sinister intentions are extremely contemptuous.

    But in the midst of this flash, a genius and crazy idea suddenly formed in the mind of the county magistrate Lu, and he exclaimed in his heart: "Yes! Why am I so stupid? The traitor master surnamed Jin can use me, Wu Sangui  The opportunity of the envoy to take care of my tuberculosis ghost teacher, why can't I use this opportunity to deal with the old traitor Shang? Anyway, the eyeliner of the female traitor Kong Sizhen is watching outside the door, and I desperately persuade the old traitor Shang to surrender his military power  Even if the old traitor Shang is tempted, he will not immediately agree to withdraw the vassal voluntarily. These words will be transmitted to Kang Xiaomazi's ears through the mouth of the traitor Kong Sizhen.  ?Kang Xiaomazi is suspicious of the old traitor Shang, can the old traitor still have a good life? The old traitor does not have a good life, so he must not be jealous of Kang Xiaomazi, so that the relationship between Kang Xiaomazi and the old traitor  Doesn't the relationship form a vicious circle?"

    Thinking of this, County Magistrate Lu can't wait to slap himself, he is really stupid!  In history, it is true that the old traitor is loyal to Kang Xiaomazi, and it is true that he refused to help Wu Sangui raise troops against the Qing Dynasty, but this does not mean that he is still loyal to Kang Xiaomazi.p; "Master Lu, are you exaggerating?" Jin Guang snorted coldly, "Killing you will cut off the prince's own way of retreat. You are a seventh-rank county magistrate who is as big as a sesame seed and mung bean. Who do you think you are?"

    "My lord, Mr. Jin, it's true that the next official is a sesame mung bean official, but everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." The county magistrate of Lu Da became more and more shameless, and simply borrowed the famous sayings of Gu Yanwu, a great scholar who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, to bluff the old man.  The traitor said with a serious expression and eloquence: "As an official of the imperial court, the people of the Qing Dynasty must of course contribute to the long-term peace and stability of the Qing Dynasty and the eternal foundation.  Remonstrance, even if you are afraid of being smashed to pieces, you will not hesitate. The prince asked the subordinate to speak, and the subordinate said, the prince will not let the subordinate speak, but the subordinate will also speak!"

    "Okay, tell me." The old traitor Shang shouted with a livid face: "If you can't make a reason, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

    "The main show has begun." The county magistrate Lu straightened his clothes and cheered himself up in his heart: "Come on, Fatty Lu, it's up to you from now on. We must make the traitor Shang and Xiaomazi Kang suspicious of each other and guard against each other."  If you can't get the old traitor Shang to really agree to withdraw the feudal clan, that would be too cheap for the little pockmarked Kangxi!" (Remember this site's website: www.hlnovel.com

    ?

    (ps: There are two updates today, and the first one will be delivered. Please ask for suggestions and collections.)

    "My lord, then I will take the liberty to speak bluntly." The county magistrate Lu cleared his throat and said seriously: "Today, under the order of Prince Pingxi, this official risked his life to persuade the prince to withdraw his vassal for two reasons.  Serve long live, be loyal to the country, and the second is for your own wealth and life, my lord Don't stare, my lord, and just listen to the officer, when the lord wants to beat or kill me, the official will never frown."

    "Say!" The old man Shang, whose face was getting more and more livid, shouted angrily.

    The magistrate of Lu Da County showed no fear, and said loudly: "Dare to ask the prince, since ancient times, how many people with different surnames have been crowned kings, how many of them will have a good end? Your lord, your merits have surpassed the world, your rank is extremely high, the noble is extremely expensive, and the court rewards you.  There is no reward, nothing to bestow, but the rich township of Guangdong can only be entrusted to the prince, and the prince is allowed to have a heavy army, sit in the silver palace, dig mountains and mines, cook sea salt, send tax collectors from counties, and ship overseas!  You can only invite the gift of the prince's beloved son Shang into the capital, and settle in Xuanwumen, the current emperor personally bestows a mansion, pushes food and undresses, and rewards him every day!"

    "My lord." The magistrate Lu's voice suddenly became heavy, and he said slowly: "Whenever I see this, even an outsider like a humble worker feels horrified, and his hair stands on end.  Difficulty, like sitting on pins and needles¡ªMy lord, you who are also in the same situation, don't you have any fear? A little worry? My lord, although you are making achievements right away, but the words like "the bird is gone, the rabbit is dead, the dog is cooked" must be yours.  Have you heard of it too?"

    "Bold madman, how dare you say such a thing to the prince!" Jin Guang also stood up, and shouted with a livid face: "The current Emperor Kangxi is a holy candle, diligent in government and loving the people, and his chief assistant, Prime Minister Ao, is loyal to the country, wise and wise,  Treating me with the same flesh and blood, the Prince of Pingnan, is a rare example of harmony between monarchs and ministers! You, a seventh-rank county magistrate, dare to say such words as to drive a wedge between the emperor and the prince.  beheaded!"

    "Mr. Jin, if these words of yours are not from the face, but from the heart, then you are the number one sinner in front of the prince!" The magistrate of Lu Daxian looked at Shang Kexi with a holy face and said loudly: "My lord  Mingjian, these words of inferiority are by no means alienating you from today¡¯s long live monarch and minister, but from the bottom of your heart for your lord¡¯s sake! Your lord should be very clear in your heart that the court set up San Francisco in the first place to commend you and Wu and Geng.  The second reason is that the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty caused disasters in the south of the Yangtze River and refused to accept Wanghua, so they had to set up San Francisco to control the place and consolidate the foundation."

    "But now, the south has been settled, the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty have been basically wiped out, and the historical mission of the San Francisco has been completed! If you don't retreat forever, my lord, you will really make the San Francisco form a dead end and force the emperor to follow suit.  Did Han Gaozu go on a tour to capture Han Xin? If that's the case, then Han Xin and Xu Dalanyu will be your prince's fate!"

    "I will let you taste this fate first!" The old man Shang became furious, rushed over and pulled out the waist knife hanging on the wall.

    At this time, Shang Wanyan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up, ran to the old traitor Shang, held down the old traitor Shang's wrist, and begged: "Father, please calm down, my daughter thinks that Lord Lu  It makes sense, although the language is a bit biased, but it is all for the sake of your father, please think twice."

    "Huh? It turns out that this little beauty is still reluctant to let me die." County Magistrate Lu was overjoyed, and subconsciously believed that Shang Wanyi was fascinated by her own beauty¡ªso she was reluctant to let herself be chopped off by the traitor Shang.  And the old traitor Shang pushed Shang Wanyan away, and roared: "What do little girls know? Go away! This Lu fat pig actually cursed our Shang family to be ruined. If I don't kill him, I won't be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"

    "Father, my daughter begs you." Shang Wanyi knelt down on both knees, hugged the old traitor's fat legs, raised her pretty face and said in tears: "Father, my daughter knows that you actually agree with Lu in your heart."  My lord's point of view is just to save face, so I have to kill him to vent my anger! But father, have you ever thought that if you killed Mr. Lu who dared to speak heartfelt words in front of you today, would anyone dare to say such things to you in the future?  ?Father, loyal words are hard to hear!"

    "Master Lu, you are really powerful." Jin Guangyin said: "My lord is so angry with you, and Princess Gege cried so much for you, do you think you still have a chance to get out of this Pingnan Palace alive?"

    "Xiaguan came to say these things to the lord today, and he has long been prepared not to go out." The county magistrate Lu was nervous, but said with a nonchalant face: "If the lord really wants to kill this official to vent his anger, the next official  The big deal is to die for the country. I only have one plea, that is, I hope the prince can carefully consider the words of the next official for the sake of righteousness, and be a real example of the eternal king and minister with Long Live today!  Destroy your future, leave your infamy forever, and leave a bad reputation forever!"

    Having said thatThe magistrate of Lu Da County, who spoke very beautifully, quietly touched another letter hidden in his arms. Kong Sizhen¡¯s letter of introduction to the magistrate of Lu Da County, ready to throw it out at any time to save his life¡ª¡ªBehind Kong Sizhen  Standing with Kang Xiaomazi, it is impossible for the old traitor Shang not to be unscrupulous.

    After finishing speaking, County Magistrate Lu put his hands behind his back and said loudly, "My lord, if you want to kill the subordinate, do it. If the subordinate frowns, he is not a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty!"

    "My surname is Lu, shut up my old lady!" Shang Wanyi suddenly became angry, and shouted with her eyebrows upside down, almost stunned our county magistrate Lu¡ªit turns out that this cold little beauty is also  Will swear.  Shang Wanyi was indeed angry, and shouted at the county magistrate Lu: "You want to be a bigan, don't pull my father's back!" After finishing speaking, Shang Wanyi turned to the old traitor Shang and said: "Father,  You have been fooled by Lu Yifeng!"

    "What did I fall for him?" Old traitor Shang asked his daughter doubtfully.

    Shang Wanyi resumed her previous cold expression, and said seriously: "This Lu Yifeng is a traitor and seems loyal, and his purpose was very clear from the beginning. What he said and did was to anger you, my father, and force you to kill him.  Use your father's eternal infamy in exchange for his eternal reputation. If you, father, are fooled and kill him, he will be famous all over the world, and his wife and son will be conferred. But you, father, will leave an eternal infamy and attract  The whole court is talking about it!"

    "Mistress of the princess, I'm not married yet. I made a marriage and my wife died of illness before getting through the door. How can I seal my wife?" The county magistrate Lu was anxious, and hurriedly corrected him, but it was a pity that Shang Wanyi was right.  The implication of the county magistrate Lu was deaf to it, and he just turned his head away coldly.

    The old Shang traitor over there really deserves to be a hard-core traitor. Although he agreed with Lu Da County Magistrate just now for the sake of face, he had to put on a show. Now that there are steps to go down, he immediately threw the knife and said angrily:  You are very knowledgeable, I almost fell for this Fatty Lu!"

    "Master Lu, since Prince Pingxi sent you to persuade Prince Pingnan to ask for the removal of the feudal clan, why didn't he take the initiative to ask for the withdrawal of the Western clan?" Jin Guang asked coldly.

    The old traitor Shang also sneered: "Yes, as long as that old man Wu Sangui is willing to give up the prince, I will also be willing! As long as he submits a petition to withdraw the feudal clan, I will also submit a petition!"

    "My lord, my lord Pingxi can't get this badge at the moment." Fatty Lu shook his head, and said plausibly: "As for the reason, you know, lord, under the command of lord Pingxi, there are still many brothers and soldiers who followed him through life and death.  Over the years, these soldiers have gone through fire and water for Prince Pingxi, going through fire and water, before their livelihood problems are resolved, how dare the prince submit a petition to withdraw the feudal domain? After the above petition was approved by the court, Prince Pingxi brought his family and relatives back to Liaodong for retirement  What about the soldiers who have lived and died with the prince for many years? Now they can serve as soldiers and work hard for money. What will happen to them when they are old? Who will give them old age?  Son? So, Prince Pingxi is still unable to submit a request to withdraw the domain, Prince Pingnan, now you should understand the difficulties of Prince Pingxi, right?"

    "What?" The old traitor Shang and the dog-headed military strategist Jin Guang were tongue-tied again - no matter what they said, they never imagined that there is such a shameless person as the county magistrate Lu in the world!  It is said that Wu Sangui refused to withdraw the feudal clan because of the pension problem of the soldiers in Yunnan and Guizhou, but he came to persuade us to withdraw the feudal clan in Guangdong!

    (ps: The second update was delivered. Please collect and reward.)

    After regaining his senses, the old traitor Shang immediately jumped three feet high, and cursed: "I understand! He, Wu Sangui, has brothers and soldiers who live and die together. I don't have brothers and soldiers who live and die together under my command? I want to go up!"  Biao has asked to withdraw the feudal clan, what about the soldiers under Lao Tzu's command? Go and eat him, Wu Sangui?"

    "That's right." Lu Da County Magistrate nodded solemnly, and said again: "That's why Prince Pingxi sent his subordinates to discuss with him.  Two princes, how will you solve the problem of food and clothing for the soldiers under your command?"

    Speaking of this, County Magistrate Lu slapped his head again, and exclaimed: "Wait a minute! Your lord, it seems that you didn't understand what the official said just now, did you? The official just persuaded you to submit a request to withdraw the feudal clan, and did not persuade you to withdraw."  You put on this form now, and I didn't advise you to do so before the aftermath of the withdrawal of the feudal clan is resolved!"

    "Damn it, you fat bastard, make it clear!" The old traitor Shang heaved a sigh of relief, and cursed: "If you had made this issue clear earlier, how could I draw my knife and kill you?"

    "Master Lu, you should clarify this issue earlier." Jin Guang also heaved a sigh of relief, and complained: "If you clarify this point earlier, how could there be so much unhappiness?"

    County Magistrate Lu repeatedly apologized, but he was smiling wickedly in his heart¡ªKong Sizhen's eyeliner outside the door heard these words, and passed the words to Kong Sizhen's ears, and Kong Sizhen passed these words to Kang Xiaomazi's gang.  The image of Daqing Zhongliang who entered the admonition was immediately erected. Not only did Kong Sizhen pass the hurdle, but he also put a high hat on the old traitor Shang who was reluctant to withdraw from the feudal clan.  .

    After all this trouble, the old traitor Shang became less angry, sat back at the dinner table to eat with his daughter, and even mercifully asked someone to bring a cup of tea to the already hungry and thirsty magistrate Lu Da.  Shang Wanyan couldn't bear it, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Master Lu is here, and it's so late, he must be very hungry, let him eat with us."

    Hearing this, the County Magistrate Lu Da, who was so hungry that we were so hungry, couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude, and he had a new love for Shang Wanyi, while the old, ugly and stingy old traitor Shang yelled viciously, "Let him be hungry!"  I want to eat at the same table with Lao Tzu, and he will not be qualified for another ten lifetimes!" At the end, the old man Shang lazily said to the county magistrate Lu: "Tell me, that old Wu Sangui still has those whimsical ideas,  Say it all, and, more clearly."

    "Yes." The county magistrate Lu took a peek at Shang Wanyi, who had a cold expression, and swallowed quietly again, before saying, "My lord, the reason why my lord Pingxi wants to withdraw from the feudal clan has already been said by the lower official.  It¡¯s wordy, but Prince Pingxi thinks that if the San Francisco of the Qing Dynasty wants to withdraw from the feudal clan smoothly, it must solve the aftermath of the soldiers of the San Francisco, and how to solve this problem is actually just two words¡ªsilver!¡±

    "If your lord really wants to withdraw from the feudal domain, can you just ask the court for money?" Jin Guang interjected and asked.  County Magistrate Lu replied with a wry smile: "Master Jin, this is easy to say, but to solve the aftermath of San Francisco's withdrawal, the amount of money and silver required is huge. Will the court be able to provide it in a short time?"

    Jin Guang was speechless. Indeed, in ancient times when productivity was backward, it was indeed no joke to solve the pension problem of more than 40,000 troops at once.  Well, if one is not handled well, it's no joke.

    County Magistrate Lu paused for a moment, and then continued: "So, Prince Pingxi sent his officials to kowtow to Prince Pingnan today, just to discuss how to withdraw the domain smoothly without adding too much burden to the court, and solve the problem of San Francisco.  Soldiers' livelihood issues."

    "Then what is Wu Sangui going to do?" Old traitor Shang became more or less interested.

    The magistrate of Lu Da County replied in a deep voice: "Prince Pingxi racked his brains and pondered for a long time, and finally came up with a pretty good idea, that is to increase the military pay for the soldiers of San Francisco."

    "Increase the military pay?" The old traitor Shang was stunned, and asked in doubt: "Since Wu Sangui intends to reduce the burden on the court, why does he need to increase the pay? Doesn't he know how much of the national treasury's annual revenue is taken up by the military pay of the San Francisco?"

    "My lord misunderstood me. My lord Pingxi did this just to lighten the burden on the imperial court." The magistrate of Lu Daxian looked like Wu Sangui had suffered a great loss, and said more convincingly: "After the imperial court increased the salaries of the soldiers of San Francisco,  The soldiers of the San Francisco have some spare money in addition to supporting their families. Naturally, they can use it to buy some properties, or do business, or buy houses and land. In this way, the soldiers will have the capital to support their retirement.  In this way, when it comes time to withdraw the feudal domain, the imperial court will not have to spend a large sum of money., finally lived up to my family's expectations of him, and when I have a chance to see him again, I must reward this fat man well.  It has been decided that this is the first time in my family's Yunnan, and I will leave it to this fat guy in Yunnan.  "

    "Very good, I didn't expect a talent like Lu Yifeng to be born in the borderlands of Yunnan." Xiao Mazi, the rabbit terminator, laughed and said: "When this Lu Yifeng enters the capital, I must meet him alone and reward him  Your loyalty and integrity, your loyalty to me."

    After laughing, Xiao Mazi's face darkened again, and he said angrily: "It's Shang Kexi's dog slave, thanks to my trust in him, and Lu Yifeng's earnestness in persuading him to withdraw, not only did he not immediately agree to set up a leader for San Francisco  A role model, but also draw a knife to kill Lu Aiqing¡ª¡ªIf he agrees, what kind of bullshit strategy does that old Wu Sangui need to implement? It seems that I really misunderstood him! This Shang Kexi is the same as Wu Sangui.  Have to guard against!" (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com

    "Our son is not here. He went to Huizhou to inspect military affairs. When will he come back? How do I know? Who dares to control where he wants to go, what he wants to do, when he comes and goes? The governor of Guangdong, Mr. Jin Bangjin, dare not care.  I don¡¯t want my head anymore?! In short, you go back first, and try your luck in a few days.¡±

    On the second day after arriving in Guangzhou, the county magistrate of Lu Da excitedly brought a large group of unscrupulous servants and wicked guards to meet Shang Zhixin with gifts, and was ready to strike while the iron was hot, and make Shang Zhixin, who had truly cooperated with Wu Sangui in the history of the rebellion, come to see Shang Zhixin.  The Qing mob in the Qing Dynasty was also pulled onto Wu Sangui's chariot, and formed an alliance with Wu Sangui on the issue of military pay and power reduction, and jointly deal with the aggressiveness and aggressiveness of the Manchu Qing court.  But it's a pity that our Fatty Lu, county magistrate Lu Da, bought such a sentence after rushing to the porter with a tribute of ten taels of silver, and the disappointment can be imagined.

    "Master, since Prince Pingnan is not here, let's wait for a few days. Anyway, we are not in a hurry." Unlike the extremely disappointed magistrate of Lu Da County, Ding Xiao Erlang, the unscrupulous family, was a little happy. He just left the gate of Shang Zhixin's mansion  I couldn't wait to say to Lu Da County Magistrate: "Taking some time these few days, young master, how about you take us to have a good time in Guangzhou City? It's the first time I have come to such a lively place when I grow up.  place."

    "It's okay to take you shopping." The magistrate of Lu Da County stared at Xiao Erlang and said vigilantly: "But you have to control your mouth tightly, and then talk nonsense on the street, such as kicking dendrobium and lijin fire consumption, and then give me  I molested the big girls and the little wives everywhere, and I kicked you into the stinky ditch!"

    "That's right, there are many remnants of the former Ming Dynasty in Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and their influence is quite large." Kong Fanlin was also a little afraid of Xiao Erlang's foul mouth, and warned: "These remnants of the former Ming Dynasty are not utterly mortal to our Pingxi Palace.  In 2009, several brothers and Western election officials died in their hands, so we had better not reveal our origins in crowded places, otherwise we might be in big trouble."

    After all, Kong Fanlin pointed at Xiao Erlang and warned: "Especially Erlang, your mouth really likes to cause trouble. For the safety of Mr. Lu and us, you'd better not talk nonsense."

    "Don't dare, dare not, I don't dare anymore." Xiao Erlang didn't dare to say anything, and swore he would keep his mouth in check and not cause trouble for the county magistrate Lu. He also felt bored in the posthouse.  The bored Magistrate Lu then nodded in agreement with Xiao Erlang's plea.  At present, the county magistrate of Lu Da and his party first sent the gifts they picked back to the post house, and then the magistrate of Lu Da County took the dog legs and started a tour of the streets-the voice-over also sounded, the history of the Qing Dynasty, the sixth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty  Lu Yifeng, a big treacherous villain, led his servants to do evil in the streets of Guangzhou, doing evil, bullying men and women, doing all kinds of evil

    After nearly twenty years of development, Guangzhou City, which was nearly deserted by Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao 17 years ago, has recovered a little bit of vitality, and bustling bustles and bustles appeared during the daytime in the wharf area where businesses are concentrated.  The scene is full of crowds, heads like porridge, and the shops and stalls on both sides of the street are three or four miles long, and there are all kinds of juggling.  Walking on such a street, the gang of bumpkins under the command of the magistrate of Lu County must be dazzled and dizzy. Although the guards of the Pingxi Palace brought by Kong Fanlin are well-informed, they can't help but feel regretful at this moment.  Sighing that Wu Sangui did not come to the coast of Guangdong, otherwise, the life of the guards of Pingxi Palace would have been much easier.  In addition, there is our poor Fatty Lu, the County Magistrate Lu, who visited such a lively street market for the first time since he came to this era. Everything he saw was fresh and curious, and he naturally showed a lot of bumpkins  Temperament, attracted a lot of eyes from the local people in Guangzhou.

    After strolling for two streets, County Magistrate Lu and his party turned to the relatively open water terminal. At this time, County Magistrate Lu suddenly remembered the advice that his teacher Liu Xuanchu had given him at the beginning¡ªthat is, thinking about how to counteract Jiangnan.  The Qing Fuming forces got in touch and established some contacts for future use.  Thinking of this, County Magistrate Lu quickly asked Kong Fanlin and other guards: "Brother Kong, when you were in the Pingxi Palace, did you have any information about the Tiandihui? How much do you know about them?"

    "Tiandihui? What Tiandihui?" Kong Fanlin's inexplicable answer left magistrate Lu stunned.

    "Impossible?" County Magistrate Lu Da hurriedly said again: "You are the guard of the Pingxi Palace, and you have never even heard of the Tiandihui? That shit organization shouted the slogan, Heavenly Father, Earthly Mother, Anti-Qing and Fuming, you also  Haven't heard of it?"

    "Master Lu, speak carefully." Kong Fanlin was taken aback, quickly covered the mouth of the county magistrate Lu, looked around nervously, and shouted in a low voice: "Master Lu, are you dying? Anti-Qingfu  It is also possible if you know anything.It is extremely painful.

    "Brother, what's the matter with you?" Liu Xu cared about his brother, and hurriedly grabbed Liu Zhen and asked.

    "Cheating!" Liu Zhen pointed at the fat black boy and screamed: "This kid is cheating, he has an iron plate hidden in his chest! Damn, it hurts me to death!"

    "I didn't hide any iron plate." The fat black boy shook his head, unbuttoned his shirt to reveal his bare chest, and said, "Look, I didn't hide any iron plate."

    The Guangzhou Three Tigers took a closer look, and saw that although the skin on the chest of the fat black boy was extremely rough, he really did not hide any armor such as iron plate breastplates.  The fat black boy threw his clothes away again, and with his upper body bare, he smirked and said, "Come on, now I've even taken off my clothes, you guys keep beating!"

    "I'm coming!" Liu Xu yelled, stepped forward and squatted, fisted at the waist, and roared again, his right fist hit the chest, the fist was fleshy, and after another muffled sound, Liu Xu  His buttocks fell to the ground, and he screamed with his right fist in his arms, tears and snot flowing from the pain, "Oh my god! It hurts me to death! This kid is made of iron? Why is his chest so hard?"

    "I'm coming!" The third tiger, Shen Xin, also jumped out recklessly, jumped into the air in two steps with his hind legs, and kicked the fat black boy hard with his right foot on the chest. The result was natural, and the fat black boy was still safe and sound.  However, Shen Xin screamed like a pig, and couldn't even stand on the ground, so she hugged her right foot and rolled on the ground, screaming: "Golden bell cover, this must be the legendary golden bell in the world!"  The bell jar!"

    "It's not the golden bell jar." The fat black boy shook his head and said, "It's the indestructible magic of Vajra. When I was just full moon, my mother soaked me in the potion every day, and then used bamboo slices, iron bars, and firewood branches to cover my body.  Wrap it up layer by layer and practice. My mother said, my Vajra Immortality Divine Art has already surpassed many eminent monks in Southern Shaolin."

    "King Kong is not bad?" The three tigers of Guangzhou glanced at each other. It was the first time they heard of such a strange kung fu, and it was also the first time they heard of such a weird kung fu.  Here, Kong Fanlin and the other guards of the Pingxi Palace were all stunned. It was the first time they saw such a magical kung fu. Only our county magistrate Lu's eyes lit up, and he had this thought in his heart, "If I have such a subordinate, then in the future  When it comes to the anti-Qing battlefield, isn¡¯t it the same as having a human shield? It¡¯s decided, no matter what, I¡¯m going to get this idiot over here to be my dog¡¯s leg!¡±

    "San'er, San'er!" At this moment, the old man driving a car and the beautiful young woman who had met Lu Da county magistrate twice squeezed into the crowd, they both went up to grab the fat black boy, and complained in unison: "  You silly boy, are you fighting again? Parents will know that as long as there is a fight, there must be you!"

    "I didn't fight, I competed with them." The fat black boy replied aggrieved.

    Seeing that his son was fine, the old man who drove the car heaved a sigh of relief and turned to the three unlucky men who had been taught by his son. He cupped his hands and said, "Three strong men, the dog Shiyu is young and ignorant, please forgive me for the offense. I don't know the three strong men.  Can it be injured?"

    "Shiyu?" The county magistrate Lu Da suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurried forward to the old man who drove the car and asked, "May I ask this old gentleman if his surname is Fang Mingde?"

    "How do you know my name?" The old driver asked in surprise.  The county magistrate of Lu Da was stunned, and hurriedly turned to the beautiful young woman and asked, "May I ask this lady again, is she the famous Mrs. Miao Cuihua Miao?"

    "How do you know my name?" The beautiful young woman asked back in surprise.

    "No way, is it right? So" County Magistrate Lu was tongue-tied, looked at Fang De, then at Miao Cuihua, and finally at the short, fat, dark boy with a silly face.  After a while, he yelled, "Damn it! It turns out that Fang Shiyu has such virtues!" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com

    "Fuck! So Fang Shiyu has this virtue?!" I realized that this little black fat man who was fatter, shorter and uglier than me was actually the famous Fang Shiyu!  Fang Shiyu, the suave and handsome Fang Shiyu in the movie and TV!  The contrast was so great that our County Magistrate Lu couldn't believe his ears and eyes. He stared at the little black fat man with wide eyes and shouted: "Are you really Fang Shiyu? Did I recognize the wrong person?"

    "I'm Fang Shiyu, what's the matter?" The little black fat man scratched his head and replied, not understanding why County Magistrate Lu was so excited and nervous.

    The county magistrate of Lu Da was speechless, unable to recover his senses for a long time. Fang De and Miao Cuihua looked at each other next to him.  Excited.  After a little calculation, Fang De tentatively asked: "May I ask this gentleman, how did you know the names of Caomin's family? Do you know us?"

    "This" County Magistrate Lu Da also came back to his senses and found that he had revealed some flaws, but County Magistrate Lu Da was not in a hurry, and immediately returned the salute as soon as he rolled his eyes, "Senior Fang, don't need to be humble, the Fang family in Guangdong  Intensive study of martial arts, chivalry and righteousness, helping the poor, has long been famous and famous all over the world. Although the younger generation is far away in Yunnan, I often hear the name of Senior Fang, especially Fang Shiyu, the younger son of Senior Fang.  Xiao I have admired him for a long time, but I only regret not being able to meet him. So when I heard Fang Shiyu Fang Xiaoxia's name today, this junior immediately guessed the names of senior and Mrs. Miao."

    "Is that true?" Fang De was skeptical, thinking that our Fang family has a little bit of fame, but the fame is only limited to the area around Zhaoqing, and it can't be said that it is famous all over the world. You can hear about our family as far away as Yunnan.  The name, I'm afraid it's a bit confusing, right?  Thinking of this, Fang De, who had already noticed the identity of Lu Da County Magistrate West Selector during the public grave worship, shuddered secretly, and exclaimed in his heart: "Could it be that our Fang family's secret anti-Qing and Ming-ming incidents have been covered by Wu Sangui?"  That traitor's running dog has been targeted?"

    "Hero Fang, Mrs. Miao, it's better to meet you by chance than to invite you." County Magistrate Lu said affectionately: "Since the younger generation is destined to meet you, then the younger generation would like to do something. How about inviting Senior Fang's family to a restaurant for dinner?"  The county magistrate of Lu Da also pointed at the Guangzhou Three Tigers who had gradually stood up, and said casually: "There are also these three strong men. The heroes of Liangshan do not know each other. How about going to drink a glass of water and wine together? Liang Zi just now  , let¡¯s dissolve it with a drink on the wine table.¡±

    "Thank you sir, then we'll be more polite." The Liu family brothers were overjoyed, and quickly agreed¡ªthey were disturbed by Fang Shiyu just now, and they didn't even have time to ask for the money for performing arts, and they were worried that they might be hungry today.  Now that the county magistrate of Lu Da is voluntarily being taken advantage of, the three brothers still have a reason not to agree.

    "Okay, then I'm not too polite." Fang Shiyu immediately cheered again when he heard that there was a treat, "I like to eat crispy roast suckling pig, I want three!"

    "No problem, I will order three roast suckling pigs for Fang Shaoxia alone immediately when we arrive at the restaurant." County Magistrate Lu Da, who wanted to draw Fang De's family into his subordinates, agreed with a smile on his face.

    Unexpectedly, Fang De suddenly grabbed his son, winked at Fang Shiyu, and then cupped his hands to the county magistrate Lu and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir, it's just that you misunderstood.  It's just for self-defense on the way of doing business and transporting goods, there is no other intention, and it doesn't have such an exaggerated reputation as the gentleman said. As for the invitation from the gentleman, I am very sorry. The old man's family has to go north to Hangzhou to sell silk today, and it is really impossible to make the appointment. Please forgive me, sir.  .¡±

    "Father, aren't we going to Quanzhou Shaolin Temple?" Fang Shiyu was in a hurry, but Fang De interrupted him with his eyes.  At that moment, Fang De bowed his hands to the county magistrate Lu again, said "Farewell", and then pulled his son and wife and turned around to leave.  Please stay."

    "Don't touch my son!" Miao Cuihua suddenly slashed on the wrist of the county magistrate Lu Da with a knife, opened the fat hand of the county magistrate Lu, and cursed coldly, "You are a traitor!" After cursing, Miao Cuihua  Fang Shiyu pulled Fang Shiyu and Fang De strode away, but Fang Shiyu was a little unconvinced, "Father, mother, I'm hungry, I want to eat roast suckling pig"

    "Silly son, if you want to eat roast suckling pig, I bought it for you. Don't eat that man's, be careful to eat it"

    "Damn, what are you talking about?" Kong Fanlin was unhappy when he heard Miao Cuihua's words, and stepped forward two steps to give chase.  The county magistrate of Lu Da hurriedly stopped him, and said in a low voice: "Don't chase, you won't be able to beat them if you catch up." Kong Fanlin thought carefully??" While Lu Da County Magistrate was contemplating, brothers Liu Zhen, Liu Xu and their cousin Shen Xin discussed in a low voice, then they all left the table and knelt down together, kowtowed to Lu Da County Magistrate and said: "My lord, what is the situation?  I also know that the little ones really have nowhere to go, please be merciful and take us in.  Anyway, my lord, you are about to become a county magistrate. What you need is people. Take the three of us. You can pay me, my lord. Just take care of food and housing. Our three brothers will definitely pay you back.  Great kindness and virtue.  "

    "Fuck! I wanted to use Fang Shiyu to be my dog's leg, but why did these three unknown pawns sell Dali pills?" Lu Da county magistrate smiled wryly. After a little calculation, he was actually seriously short of people, especially  The County Magistrate Lu, who lacked some skills, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Get up, since you want to go with me, then I will accept you, and the pay is the same as that of my other servants. From now on, the three of you just need to be obedient  , Be loyal to me, and I will never treat you badly."

    "Thank you sir, thank you sir." The three brothers were overjoyed, and quickly kowtowed together to express their thanks, unable to restrain their joy.  But what even the county magistrate Lu did not expect was that the three tigers in Guangzhou that he accidentally discovered with his conscience had become his three right-hand men on the road to anti-Qing, helping him to do countless unscrupulous and immoral things, and  Becoming one of the three honorable members of the Manchu court's huge reward list for claiming their lives is a later story, so let's put it aside for the time being.

 Chapter 24 Desperate Counterattack

    ?

    (ps: Happy Dragon Boat Festival to all my friends.)

    As expected by Magistrate Lu Da, the old traitor Shang really suffered from insomnia the night he met Magistrate Lu Da, and the reason for his insomnia happened to be the letter of introduction specially written by Kong Sizhen to Magistrate Lu Da.  Originally, this letter was just a random letter written by Kong Sizhen knowing about the bad relationship between the old traitor Shang and Wu Sangui, and worried that the old traitor Shang would not meet the county magistrate Lu. The letter was just a hypocritical greeting to old Shang  The traitor, and I hope that the old traitor Shang can meet the holder of the book. He didn't mention the issue of withdrawing the feudal vassal in half a word, and there is no mandatory requirement that the old traitor Shang must adopt the opinion of the county magistrate Lu.

    If the county magistrate Lu came up with this letter to explain Kong Sizhen's intentions, the old traitor Shang would definitely not have extraneous ideas. The big thing is to spend a little money to host a banquet.  Lu Da County Magistrate, who was a scourge of the Qing Dynasty, gave Kong Sizhen enough face.  But the villainous magistrate of Lu County did not do this, he had to talk about the strategy of slowly withdrawing the feudal clan first, and then mysteriously took out Kong Sizhen's letter, and even if he wanted to die, he did not say what Kong Sizhen was.  Meaning - In this way, if it were you, would you not doubt Kong Sizhen's true intentions?

    "Oh, it's really troublesome." After reading Kong Sizhen's introduction letter with nothing to do with it for the sixth time, the bloodshot eyes of the old traitor Shang lay back on the couch again, muttering in his mouth: "What the hell is going on with Sigege's letter?"  What does it mean? Could it be that she is trying to imply to me that she wants me to adopt this strategy of slowly withdrawing the vassal, asking for more military pay from the court every year to settle the sergeants, and then submitting a petition to withdraw the vassal when the time is right? If this is true  What Kong Sizhen, that little slut meant, that is to say, the person behind her also meant the same thing."

    "My lord, my lord, the little golden light knocked on my lord." The golden light's voice interrupted old traitor Shang's muttering to himself, and then asked with concern: "Your lord, the circles under your eyes are dark, didn't you rest well last night?"

    "How can it be possible to rest well?" The old traitor Shang waved his hand to make Jin Guang stand up, sighed and said, "Worry, you said that little bitch Kong Sizhen is really good at deceiving people, if she has anything to say, just say no to the old man,  Why do you want to play this riddle, it makes the old man have a headache."

    "What the lord said is that Si Gege is indeed too puzzling this time." Jin Guang agreed flatteringly: "She knows that you and that old bastard Wu Sangui will never get along with each other all their lives, but she still writes such a letter.  That old bastard Wu Sangui sent it here, and said those strange words, it was simply to make people guess riddles on purpose."

    "Master Jin, do you think this is what the emperor meant?" The old traitor Shang asked: "Could it be that the emperor made up his mind to use this strategy to withdraw the domain, but he was afraid of being infamous as a dead man?  , That's why you use this tactful method to send this strategy of withdrawing the feudal domain to the hands of this king through the hands of Kong Sizhen and that fat man Lu? Implying that the king will act according to the law?"

    "It's possible." Jin Guang nodded, and said darkly: "But my lord, the students always feel a little strange about this matter. If Si Gege and the emperor behind her really plan to use this method to withdraw the domain, why don't you just tell the lord directly?"  You said, or directly hinted at you, the prince, why did you have to tell you through the hands of a Qipin county magistrate, or a Qipin county magistrate of the West Selected Official?"

    "Yeah, this king is also strange about this." The old traitor Shang pondered: "Originally, the above table requires the imperial court to increase the salary of the Guangdong army, so that the soldiers can accumulate a little savings every year, which is good for the king and the army of the king.  The benefits, this king can accept it, and you can also give it a try - after all, no one can say for sure whether the feudal clan can be withdrawn smoothly in a few years, and it is always better to get some benefits first. But this king just doesn't  I understand Kong, why did Si Zhen ask a Western Selector to suggest this king to do so, so this king has been hesitant to make up his mind."

    "My lord, could this be a trick of old Wu Sangui?" Jin Guang's voice became more and more cold, and he said slowly: "Since this year, the imperial court has obviously accelerated the pace of weakening Wu Sangui's strength.  , although it was refuted by Ao Bai Ao, but the emperor still ordered to copy the excerpt and make it known to the world. It is clear that it is a disguised expression of dissatisfaction with Wu Sangui, forcing Wu Sangui to take the initiative to give in on the issue of military pay. Your lord, if you are here  It will be a great help for Wu Sangui to ask for an increase in salary - after all, the imperial court can't be too partial to the San Francisco issue, right?"

    "I want Lao Tzu to help old man Wu Sangui, unless the sun comes out from the west!" The old traitor Shang was furious, and roared: "If this is really the fault of old man Wu Sangui, then I will immediately ask for a cut in salary, disgusting  Die that old dog!"

    "That's right." Jin Guang nodded, and echoed: "In addition to disgusting that old Wu Sangui, there is also the need to let the emperor and the court know the loyalty of the prince, so as not to let the emperornbsp; Jin Guang, the dog-headed military strategist, is indeed an out-and-out bad breed. Although his suggestion of kicking the ball back to Wu Sangui was mostly out of helplessness, he hit the vital point of our County Magistrate Lu!  So much so that when he told Magistrate Lu Da County Magistrate Shang about his decision to adopt his suggestion, Magistrate Lu Da County Magistrate's fat forehead suddenly became greasy and sweaty!

    The county magistrate Lu Da was really panicked. The purpose of Wu Sangui sending Lu Da county magistrate to Guangzhou was to persuade the old traitor Shang and his son to form an alliance with Wu Sangui to fight against the Manchu Qing court together, and to let the old traitor Shang and his son present to the Qing court.  Asking for an increase in salary will increase the bargaining chip for Wu Sangui's upcoming negotiations with the Manchu Qing court on the issue of military salary.  As a result, the magistrate of Lu County had to return to Yunnan to deal with Wu Sangui with such a result of jointly withdrawing the vassal. Wu Sangui had to peel off the fat skin of the magistrate of Lu Da?

    Of course, it cannot be entirely blamed on the incompetence of Lu Da County Magistrate. The key is that Kong Sizhen suddenly got involved in this matter, and the ghost of the Manchu Qing court appeared.  But still the same sentence, no matter how many twists and turns and accidents there are, how much helplessness and compulsion there are, if the county magistrate Lu replied to Wu Sangui with such a result, Wu Sangui still had to peel off the magistrate Lu's fat!  All of a sudden, the county magistrate of Lu Da, who is still young after all, really didn't know what to do.

    "What should we do? What should we do?" After sending away the smirking Jin Guang, the magistrate Lu Da, who had been able to keep his composure just now, returned to the room, grabbed his braids and became worried, and lamented: "It's over, it's self-defeating  Yes! If I just take such an answer back to that old traitor Wu Sangui, then even the teacher can¡¯t save me. That old traitor Wu Sangui will definitely chop me up and feed me to the dogs.  If I make cloud legs and pay tribute to Kang Xiaomazi, wouldn¡¯t that make me worse? What should I do? What should I do?¡±

    "Why don't you run away?" County Magistrate Lu Da suddenly had such an idea, "Anyway, Guangdong is not too far away from Taiwan, so I ran to Taiwan by sea to join Zheng Jing and help Zheng Jing and Chen Yonghua fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?"

    Thinking of this, County Magistrate Lu was greatly moved. He said that it would be good to defect to Zheng Jing, at least because the loyal ministers of Ming Dynasty have a good reputation, but if I go there like this, can I be reused in Zheng Jing¡¯s Taiwan like I was with Wu Sangui?  ?  Although I am only a seventh-rank county magistrate on Wu Sangui's side, at least there is Liu Xuanchu who is deeply trusted by Wu Sangui as a teacher, and everything is much more convenient. What do I have in Zhengjing Taiwan?  Also, Kong Fanlin and the gang of bad guys are the eyeliners sent by Wu Sangui to monitor me. If I run away to join Zheng Jing, will they ignore me?  Besides, what should I do if I run away from the teacher, I am the person he recommended to Wu Sangui, so can he not be implicated?

    "My lord, we are back." While worrying, the Guangzhou Three Tigers, who had only been recruited by the magistrate of Lu County at noon, entered the room. Each of them was wearing a new set of new clothes, and they greeted Lu County happily.  Ling Dao thanked and said: "Thank you for the silver you gave me, we have bought new clothes and shoes, and we have paid off the rent and slate money we owed before. From now on, our brothers will follow you, sir.  If you have anything to do, just tell us, the little ones will never frown."

    "But now I'm also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and I can't protect myself." County Magistrate Lu lamented in his heart, but at this moment, County Magistrate Lu looked at the Guangzhou Three Tigers with grateful smiles on their faces, and suddenly his heart moved, and he jumped up and shouted:  "You three, do you know the way to Huizhou? How far is it?"

    "My lord, we know that we have been to Huizhou." Liu Zhenfei quickly replied, "It's not too far away. It's about three hundred and twenty miles away from Guangzhou. If you ride a horse, you can get there in about two days. If you walk, it's about  Four or five days."

    "Very good." Lu Da County Magistrate quickly ordered: "Quickly, call Xiao Erlang and Kong Fanlin and ask them to prepare six fast horses. The three of you will lead the way, and we will go to Huizhou immediately."

    "My lord, it's getting dark." Liu Xu kindly persuaded: "Why don't you go tomorrow at dawn, the road is not easy to walk at night."

    "No matter how difficult it is to go, you have to go!" The county magistrate of Lu Da yelled, "If you want to continue to follow me to eat and drink spicy food, take me to Huizhou to find Shang Zhixin immediately. This is your last chance and it is also my last.  opportunity!" (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 25 Shang Zhixin

    ?

    Leaving the other bodyguards and servants waiting in the posthouse, Lu Da County Magistrate took Kong Fanlin, Xiao Erlang and Guangzhou Sanhu to the road to Huizhou overnight.  Before leaving, just in case, the magistrate of Lu Da county specially told the guards and servants who stayed at the post house, "Remember, if anyone comes to inquire about my situation, just say that I have gone to Dongguan to visit relatives, and it will take up to three days."  Come back in five days, and then return to Yunnan immediately."

    "My lord, what if those bastards in the Pingnan Palace don't believe it?" Luo Kedi, the vice-captain of the guard, said in a deep voice, "Just now, I sent someone to go around the posthouse and found a few people with bad looks.  He is a running dog from Pingnan Palace."

    "Believe it or not, it's up to them." Lu Da County Magistrate said coldly: "If I go to Huizhou this time, I can successfully persuade Shang Zhixin to stand on our side, and these bastards will naturally have Shang Zhixin to deal with them. If you are not convinced,  Anyway, it¡¯s a loss, and I don¡¯t care if I lose completely.¡±

    "Understood, please rest assured, my lord, the subordinates are waiting for you to come back." Luo Kedi and other guards clasped their fists and agreed, and Xiao Erlang's servants also told Lu County magistrate to be careful-they were still waiting to talk to Lu County  Ling went to Qujing to enjoy the blessings, but he didn't want any accidents to happen to Lu Da County Magistrate.  The magistrate of Lu Da County stopped talking, led the horse out of the post house, and rushed out of the city before the gate of the outer city was closed, and rushed to Huizhou overnight.  carry.

    In order to prevent the old traitor from sending people to intercept and interrogate extraneous issues, the county magistrate Lu Da and his party of six did not dare to rest all the way after they left Guangzhou.  After staying there, he stopped to rest for half an hour, and then immediately got on his horse and set off on his way.  Fortunately, the three brothers Shen Xin, Liu Zhen, and Liu Xu, newly recruited by the county magistrate of Lu County, played a big role at this time. Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, they led the magistrate of Lu County to take a shortcut and run straight.  Throwing off the tails sent by the old traitor Shang and Jin Guang, and greatly speeding up the journey, on the morning of the third day, which was also the morning of the seventh day of October in the sixth year of Qingkang Mazi, the county magistrate Lu Da and his party finally arrived.  They arrived outside the city of Huizhou where Shang Kexi's eldest son, Shang Zhixin, was temporarily stationed.

    To be honest, because of the records of Shang Zhixin's bloodthirsty madness in the later generations of the Manchu Qing Dynasty¡ªalthough no one knows whether it is true or not, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has always been very good at discrediting history.  The impression is not good, and there is a little disgust.  However, at least Shang Zhixin rebelled against the Qing Dynasty in history, and it is gratifying to kill his hard-core traitor father, so just based on this, the impression of Lu Da County Magistrate on him is more gratifying than his traitor father  The impression is a hundred times better.  At the same time, Shang Zhixin is currently the only hope for magistrate Lu to get out of the predicament.

    The luck of the county magistrate Lu Da was really mediocre. After arriving in Huizhou City, he ran to the barracks to ask Shang Zhixin to see him before he even had a sip of water, but was told by the guards in front of the camp that Shang Zhixin was not in the camp.  When Qishang Zhixin went, the leader who guarded the gate of the camp immediately bulged his eyes and shouted: "How dare you dare to inquire about the whereabouts of our army's commander-in-chief?  Take it as a fine work!"

    "This general, we don't work carefully." The county magistrate of Lu was sweating profusely, and quickly asked Xiao Erlang to take out the official defense guide issued by Wu Sangui, and held it in front of the leader with both hands, explaining: "Please look, general,  This is the guide given to me by Prince Pingxi, I have something urgent to see the eldest prince Pingnan, please help me and tell me the whereabouts of the eldest prince."

    "Sorry, I can't read." Nazuo Ling pushed the official document away and said coldly: "So I can't help you. If you must see the eldest prince, you can wait here by yourself, but stay away from the camp gate.  , an important military camp, idlers are not allowed to stay."

    "I'll just wait if I have time! I hurried to find Shang Zhixin, Shang Kexi, that old traitor can't be suspicious, maybe the old traitor sent to monitor me will arrive in Huizhou soon!" Lu Da County Magistrate anxiously  I was sweating profusely, and I only hated myself for being a seventh-rank county magistrate the size of a sesame seed and mung bean. If the official position was a little higher, would these veteran soldiers dare to treat me like this?

    "General Li, General Li Tianzhi!" When Lu Da County Magistrate was helpless, the Guangzhou Sanhu Liu family brothers who were behind Lu Da County Magistrate suddenly yelled loudly, and kept waving to a general in the barracks, shouting loudly  : "General Li, do you still remember us? You recruited troops in February this year, and you specially tested our fists, feet, knives and guns."

    "Huh? It's you?" The Guangdong general who happened to pass by here turned his head and saw the Liu brothers, hurried over and asked in surprise, "Why are you here again? The palace didn't post a notice to recruit soldiers recently?"

    "The general misunderstood. We have already found a job to serve as a government servant for this lord. This time, we are not here to serve as a soldier." Liu Zhen saluted, and quickly introduced to the county magistrate Lu: "My lord, this General Li  , that is, we go up??The voice of crying and begging for mercy, how could you just chop you up like this?  "

    "Not necessarily?" The county magistrate of Lu Da also smiled more happily, and said word by word: "Master, you are an extremely smart and meticulous person, and you will think that the low-ranking Western candidate is the same as your old and foolish father.  The official and the special envoy of Prince Pingxi, is he sincerely persuading him to take the initiative to ask the imperial court to allow San Francisco to withdraw?"

    Shang Zhixin stopped his smirk, tilted his head and looked at the county magistrate Lu for a long time, finally showed some smiles, nodded and said: "Good boy, he is indeed the person sent by Wu Sangui. He really has the courage and insight to dare to stand in front of Lao Tzu."  , Lao Tzu who scolds me¡ªbut, I like you to be so kind! Tell me, that old boy Wu Sangui, what is the real purpose of sending you to Guangdong?"

    To know what happened next, please see the next chapter, "Showdown".

    Note: Li Tianzhi, a historical figure, was the General Soldier of Guangzhou after Shang Zhixin forced Shang Kexi to death. He once punished Wang Guodong, a Guangdong rebel general who betrayed Shang Zhixin and took refuge in Xiao Mazi.  Guangdong soldiers were killed by Kang Xiaomazi in Gongbei Building (now Beijing Road, Guangzhou).  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com

    "The prince returns to the mansion¡ª¡ª!"

    Accompanied by Shang Zhixin's confident bodyguard Zhang Shixuan who was riding on a horse, the guards of the Pingnan Palace who had been standing on both sides of the gate of the inner city puffed up their chests and shouted in unison, "Welcome your son back to the mansion!"

    Immediately afterwards, the endless Shang Zhixin team appeared on the streets of Guangzhou. Three hundred ti in armor rode to clear the way. All of them were tall and big, and all of them had distinctive armor. The horses and saddles were extremely majestic.  In the past, Tiqi was the same huge flag-carrying guard of honor and band, each holding colorful flags, fluttering to cover the sky, blowing and beating, noisy and full of luxury; then came Shang Zhixin and his guard team, Shang Zhi in first-grade official uniform  Xingao is in the middle, and more than a hundred guards in full armor are holding bows, knives, spears and halberds, waiting around the front and back.  At the end of the team is the direct lineal army directly controlled by Shang Zhixin. The front team has entered the inner city, while the rear team is still outside the city.  It's really a show of strength, with incomparable style.

    "It's so majestic." Xiao Erlang, who was stunned, said to the county magistrate Lu enviously: "Young Master, if only you can be so majestic that day, don't worry about the younger ones, as long as you can give a good name in such a team."  You lead the horse, and you will be satisfied in this life."

    "Just wait, one day I will overtake him." The county magistrate Lu Da shamelessly snorted at Xiao Erlang in a low voice, and then ordered: "You, Kong Fanlin, Liu Zhen and the others go back to the post house to rest, wait  Message from me." Xiao Erlang, Kong Fanlin and the others agreed, and told the county magistrate Lu Da to be careful and pay attention to safety, and then went back to the post house to rest.

    This time, following Shang Zhixin back to the Pingnan Palace, the flamboyant Lu Da county magistrate finally felt elated. He didn¡¯t have to be made things difficult by the gate officials when he entered the inner city, and he didn¡¯t need to report when he entered the Pingnan Palace, and he didn¡¯t have Kong Sizhen around.  The eyeliner is watching¡ªthe last time Kong Sizhen secretly warned the guard of the magistrate of Lu County, two days ago, Shang Zhixin sent him to put him and his whole family in a sack and bury him alive in the waste well  up!  At the same time, it was only now that the county magistrate of Lu Da finally understood the reason why Shang Zhixin was able to drive his traitor father Shang Kexi to death in history.  The guards are all directly controlled by Shang Zhixin's confidants!  This is not obvious at ordinary times, but when Shang Zhixin returned to Guangzhou, these people immediately ran to Shang Zhixin to flatter and flatter him, and reported Shang Kexi's every move of the monk Zhixin brothers and sisters in recent days, detailing and omissions  , It immediately showed Shang Zhixin's extremely high control over the Guangzhou army.

    Contrary to the high-spirited Shang Zhixin and Shang Zhixin's cronies, the civil servants and generals who are loyal to Shang Kexi are like eggplants beaten by frost.  When the county magistrate and a large group of cronies arrived at the Jiujian Temple where the old traitor Shang lived, no one came out to stop him on the road.  But after arriving outside the Jiujian Temple, Shang Zhixin had just pouted, and the trusted general Li Tianzhi immediately stepped forward with a large group of guards loyal to Shang Zhixin, and unceremoniously drove away the guards who were loyal to the old traitor Shang and took over completely.  Lost the defense and control of the entire Jiujian Temple, and the old guards dared not even fart.

    Seeing this scene, our county magistrate Lu Da not only did not feel disgusted with the unfilial behavior of Shang Zhixin's evil son bullying his father, but gloated greatly, "Haha, you deserve it! Old man Shang raped you for countless crimes in your life, you deserved to give birth to such a son  To be punished like this!"

    Following Shang Zhixin swaggeringly into the Jiujian Hall, the county magistrate Lu Da first saw the old traitor Shang sitting in the middle of the hall with a livid face, Jin Guang standing beside him shrinking his head, and the few pitiful generals beside him were afraid.  Standing on both sides timidly, nodding and bowing to Shang Zhixin.  Shang Zhixin was not too polite, he stepped forward a few steps and slapped the old traitor Shang symbolically, and said loudly: "Shang Zhixin, my son, please greet my father. I haven't seen you for a few days. I wonder if my father will recover from his illness?"

    "Fortunately, at least I haven't been pissed off by you!" Old man Shang replied bitterly with trembling lips.  Shang Zhixin smiled, stood up straight and smiled and said: "Father is joking, the king is the leader of the ministers, the father is the leader of the son, and it is too late for the child to be filial to the father, so how dare you anger the father to death?"

    "If you don't want to piss me off, then why did you bring troops into the palace?" Old Shang traitor roared, "You also took over the defense of the Nine Houses, what do you mean?"

    "Father, this is for your own good." Shang Zhixin winked and asked his confidant guard Zhang Shixuan to present a confession. He held up the confession and said plausibly: "Father, please look, this is the child who was arrested the day before yesterday.  Gu Qing, the guard of the palace, has already admitted that he was bought by Kong Sizhen, the daughter of Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan, and leaked a lot of secrets about my Pingnan Palace to Kong Sizhen. The child was forced to lead troops into the palace to prepare for him.  The father's palace screened the guards and servants of the palace.head?  "

    "Lu Yifeng, a low-ranking officer, was judged from the sixth grade in Guangdong Haifeng Salt Factory, and kowtowed to the Prince of Pingnan." The county magistrate Lu had no choice but to swallow his humiliation.  Just because other people were present, I dare not miss the important matter of the son, and I failed to confess my identity to the prince in time, and if I was rude, I hope the prince will forgive me."

    "Fuck you! After a long time, it turns out that you are still a sixth-rank judge from Laozi's vassal mansion!" Old traitor Shang yelled, but he was a little happy in his heart-to be honest, old traitor Shang also admired Lu Daxian.  Ling's courage and eloquence, now knowing that Lu Da County Magistrate is actually his son's henchman, the resentment towards Lu Da County Magistrate will naturally be swept away.  Only Jin Guang, the dog-headed military master, wept and mourned, knowing that his own brother's plan of poisoning was in vain.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com

    "Okay, there is a reason for the incident. I will forgive you for not guilty. Get up." The traitor Shang waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Report the cause and effect of the matter to Lao Tzu, and you are not allowed to hide anything."

    "Father, let the child talk about this matter." Shang Zhixin took the lead and said lightly: "Actually, the matter is also very simple. This year, the imperial court stepped up the pace of weakening Wu Sangui's strength.  Wu Sangui, an old man, couldn't take it anymore, and was worried that the court would kill donkeys and kill rabbits, so he came up with the idea of ??asking himself to withdraw his domain and use the throne to buy a lifetime of peace."

    "So, old man Wu Sangui really wants to ask himself to withdraw from the domain?" Old traitor Shang asked worriedly: "And how does he plan to withdraw from the domain? Is it really the way to withdraw the domain slowly?"

    "That's right." Shang Zhixin nodded and said, "Just like what Lu Yifeng said, the old man Wu Sangui withdrew his domain just to use the method of slowly withdrawing his domain to get rid of the imperial court's suspicion of him, and to solve the problem after the withdrawal of the domain.  As for the placement of the soldiers. As for him asking Lu Yifeng to persuade his father to join him in petitioning to withdraw from the feudal clan, he just has no good intentions."

    "Why is Wu Sangui so kind?" Old Shang asked vigilantly.

    "Of course it's dragging you into the water." Shang Zhixin said darkly: "He sent someone to persuade you to withdraw from the domain, and at the same time deliberately let Kong Sizhen and the people behind Kong Sizhen know about it.  Agreeing to withdraw the vassal is tantamount to standing on the united front with him. Whether it is asking the court for an increase in military pay, or negotiating with the court about the specific time for withdrawing the vassal, it is all about tying you, father, to the chariot of his old Wu Sangui.  He advances together and retreats together! Father, you can¡¯t go with him, or follow his arrangement.¡±

    "So that's how it is!" The old traitor Shang roared suddenly, "After a long time, the old man Wu Sangui came up with this wicked idea! I almost fell for him!"

    "Speaking of which, father, you asked Lu Yifeng to tell the old man Wu Sangui, saying that you asked Wu Sangui to discuss the conditions for withdrawing the vassal with the imperial court first, and then follow suit in accordance with the law. Who gave you the bad idea to write it?" Shang Zhixin sneered and said: "Father  Wang, have you ever thought about what would happen if Lu Yifeng directly brought this message to Wu Sangui and that stinky bitch Kong Sizhen? The court saw that you planned to follow Wu Sangui's example and gradually withdraw the feudal clan.  On the issue of aftermath, will we sacrifice our Guangdong interests to Wu Sangui, and set Wu Sangui as an example of withdrawing from the feudal clan?"

    "Damn it, it's a good thing that Lu Yifeng belongs to my father!" Old man Shang broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly turned his head to give Jin Guang a vicious look, which caused Jin Guang to shrink his head, not even daring to take a breath.

    "Forget it, it's a good thing nothing major happened, so let's pretend it doesn't exist. Lu Yifeng is loyal to our Shang family, and he won't talk nonsense when he goes out." Shang Zhixin, who always dislikes the golden light, rarely shows mercy,  He waved his hand and let things go.

    "Yes, yes, Lu Yifeng, you did the right thing. Fortunately, you reported the letter to Zhixin immediately, otherwise you will be in great trouble." The old traitor Shang nodded repeatedly, and praised County Magistrate Lu several times in an extremely rare way.  sentence.  At the end, the old traitor Shang asked his son again: "Zhixin, what should we do now? Should we sternly reject that old bastard Wu Sangui and cut off his thoughts?"

    "Father, are you crazy?" Shang Zhixin frowned and yelled, "Can you refuse such a thing? Wu Sangui invited you to jointly sign a petition to withdraw the feudal clan, and even leaked the news to the court on purpose. Father, you just refuse  , What does the emperor think of you? What does the court think of you? Now that the emperor and the court have made it clear that they want to weaken Wu Sangui, you still want to jump out to make the emperor and the court jealous? To block the old Wu Sangui? "

    The old traitor Shang was stunned for a moment, and it was true when he thought about it carefully¡ªWu Sangui even asked himself to withdraw from the feudal clan, and he himself refused Wu Sangui's invitation, resolutely refusing to withdraw from the feudal clan.  Don't you hate yourself to death?

    "Then what should we do?" Old Shang treacherously patted his forehead, and said in embarrassment: "This promise is to be kidnapped by the old Wu Sangui, and if you don't agree, it will arouse the suspicion of the emperor and the court. It's a dilemma. How should we deal with it? Ignore it and pretend it didn't happen.  have this happened?"

    "Old man Wu Sangui has dragged the bitch Kong Sizhen into the water, and it is absolutely impossible to ignore it." Shang Zhixin shook his head, "Keeping silent on this matter is equivalent to being ambiguous, and being ambiguous means that you are not willing to withdraw the feudal lord, my father.  The imperial court will still be suspicious of the father."

    "Damn it! This is really difficult!" Old Shang treacherously gritted his teeth, "Wu Sangui, you old bastard is indeed the enemy of my life, and you deliberately deceived me!"

    "Father, we have only one solution now." Seeing that the time has come, Shang Zhixin seized the opportunity and said, "Give Wu Sangui a hand and help this old bastard."Get over this difficulty, and then let this old thing continue to be our shield, so that our life will be better.  "

    "Give old Wu Sangui a hand, help him through what difficulties?" The old traitor Shang widened his eyes, and blew his beard so hard that his beard fluttered.

    "Come on, my royal father, can you put aside the rotten sesame matter between you and Wu Sangui for the time being?" Shang Zhixin said impatiently: "Besides, my son wants you to give him a hand now."  , It is also to pull us, and it is also to push Wu Sangui's old man in the future, so that he will fall even worse. At that time, there will be opportunities for you to vent your anger, and by the way, you can fish in troubled waters to benefit us in Guangdong. Otherwise,  Father, even if you don't pull him this far, he won't fall there, not only will we not have the chance to fish in troubled waters, but it may cause even bigger troubles."

    The old traitor Shang gritted his teeth for a long time, finally sat down weakly, and asked viciously: "Tell me, how should I pull that old bastard Wu Sangui now? How should I push him in the future? Let him die without a place to die!  Yes, if we don't give Wu Sangui a hand now, how can we cause more trouble?"

    "It's very simple." Shang Zhixin said convincingly: "At present, Wu Sangui has the idea of ??asking to withdraw from the feudal clan, mainly because the imperial court has pushed him too hard, and it has taken power and cut wages, and it is almost on the neck of his neck.  Exhausted! Under such circumstances, if we ignore Wu Sangui's situation, then if the old man Wu Sangui really reached an agreement with the court to withdraw the vassal, then we will be passive. At that time, the old man Wu Sangui will become a loyal minister of the court.  On Geng Jimao¡¯s side, Taiwan¡¯s Zheng Jing is on the sidelines, and it¡¯s unlikely that the imperial court will attack them, so don¡¯t we become a thorn in the court¡¯s side and a thorn in the flesh?¡±

    The old traitor Shang nodded slowly, thinking that what his son said was very reasonable-if Wu Sangui withdrew the feudal clan and handed over the military power, the court would naturally not suspect him. Geng Jimao's Fujian was relatively important to the court, and his own Guangdong  Naturally, he will become a thorn in the side of the court.  After thinking for a long time, the traitor Shang finally nodded again and said, "Yes, we can't let Wu Sangui fall now. If he falls, our life in Guangdong will be difficult. Tell us, what should we do specifically?"

    "Father is finally enlightened. For the sake of our Guangdong, those bad things with Wu Sangui should be let go." Shang Zhixin mocked his father, and then said: "Actually, we don't need to work too hard, as long as father gives the court a treat.  According to the table, it is enough to ask the imperial court to increase the salary of our Guangdong army. As for the reason, Zheng Ni of Taiwan harassed the coast of Guangdong.  .¡±

    "Why do you want to do this?" Old traitor Shang asked: "Be more specific."

    "Because" Shang Zhixin wanted to answer by himself, but suddenly forgot what he had discussed with the county magistrate Lu beforehand.

    Fortunately, it just so happens that our county magistrate Lu, who has a good memory and ability to adapt to changes, was on the scene, and hurriedly said: "My lord, you are tired, let the humble job take over from the lord. The reason for this is actually very simple, lord.  When the official was undercover in the Pingxi Palace, he knew that Wu Sangui had many connections and strong strength in the court, and many court officials were actually on Wu Sangui's side. The son of the world thinks that if you, my lord, are on this memorial,  Ask the imperial court to increase the salary of the Guangdong army, so no matter whether he can ask for the military salary, Wu Sangui will have an argument to deal with the imperial court's request for a cut in salary, and he will also have a bargaining chip with the imperial court.  With contacts and power, it will be easy to get out of the current predicament."

    Speaking of this, Lu Da County Magistrate laughed wickedly, "In this way, the old man Wu Sangui will naturally dispel the idea of ??cutting the vassal, and continue to be a buffer wall between the prince and the court, and continue to let the old man Wu Sangui stand in front and replace the prince.  Resist the open and dark arrows from those treacherous officials and thieves in the court."

    "It's a good idea." The old traitor Shang murmured: "But in this way, wouldn't I become a bird in the head? The court must not suspect that I am helping old Wu Sangui on purpose?"

    "This is even simpler." Shang Zhixin laughed and said, "Father, you forgot that raising wages and withdrawing the feudal clan was a strategy proposed by Wu Sangui. Kong Sizhen already knew about this, and he must have secretly reported it to the emperor and the court."  "Father, if you make this statement, the emperor and the court must think that you are already tempted, and it's too late to rejoice, so why would you still be suspicious of you? And after the incident, after the limelight of this matter has passed, father, you will quietly sue Wu Sangui  The old man made a trick, saying that you were tricked by the old man Wu Sangui and planned to withdraw the feudal clan by asking for payment, but in the end he was sold by the old man Wu Sangui. You found out that you were deceived and confessed to the court¡ª¡ª  Come on, the emperor and the imperial court must hate old man Wu Sangui to death? If old man Wu Sangui thinks of this trick again to deceive the imperial court, will the imperial court still believe him?"

    "A clever plan, let's do it like this!" The old traitor Shang was finally moved by the joint efforts of his son and the county magistrate Lu, and he slapped his thigh happily and said, "Give Wu Sangui a hand first, and then sell him after the limelight.  He continues to serve as a shield for Lao Tzu, making the court even more suspicious of him, so that he will die even worse in the future! During the period, he can also take advantage of the opportunity and kill three birds with one stone!"

    "Master Jin, what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and prepare the four treasures of the study for me. I want to go to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to increase the salary of my Guangdong army!" (Remember this website website: www.hlnovel.com)? him?  "

Sacrificing clicks will make friends read more fluently. Friends, please see that pure wolf is so loyal and honest.  A lot of votes and collections support, newcomers are hard to mix.)

    Jin Guangmiao wrote down a request for payment with a wonderful pen, and the old traitor Shang personally used the seal and signed it, and Shang Zhixin personally arranged for the manpower to be sent to the capital. Our county magistrate Lu's trip to Guangzhou, which has gone through many twists and turns, is considered a great success¡ª¡ª  ¡ªWrong, it was overfulfilled. We almost forgot that there was Sun Yanling, the admiral of Guangxi, and the big green hat.  And our Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi, an old traitor, was sold by his son and outsiders to pay for the counting money, and it is extremely rare for someone to arrange a banquet, and personally accompany and entertain our county magistrate Lu.

    During the banquet, the old traitor Shang and the doubtful Jin Guang often asked Shang Zhixin how Shang Zhixin brought Lu Da County Magistrate under his command, but the saliva was obviously destined to be wasted.  Xin and Lu Da County Magistrate have already discussed the caliber of response, and now it is naturally seamless.  What Shang Zhixin went to Yunnan to spy on Wu Sangui's army, and ran into Lu Da County Magistrate on the edge of Dianchi Lake.  Discovering that the magistrate of Lu Da County is full of talents, the magistrate of Da County Lu discovered that Shang Zhixin was thirsty for talents, and then he started to fight firewood, concubines, adulterers, and men and women, and they hooked up like glue

    After some decent nonsense, Jin Guang, who didn't find any flaws, was completely discouraged. He could only plan to deal with Lu Da County Magistrate's idea of ??harming his brother in the future, and the old traitor over there laughed so hard  He couldn't close it, he patted the shoulder of the county magistrate Lu and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, the kid hid it deep enough, and even got into the stomach of old Wu Sangui! Work hard, help me get out  That old thing from Wu Sangui's house, I can't treat you badly, I will reward you for whatever you want!"

    "I want your precious little daughter, Shang Wanyi, will you give it to me?" The county magistrate Lu snorted coldly in his heart, and replied with an apologetic smile on his face: "I will follow the teachings of the lord, and I will live up to the lord's expectations. I will work hard for the lord and the son.  , go through fire and water, do your best, and die."

    "Hahahahaha, well said, as long as you have the heart." The old traitor Shang laughed happily, and asked casually: "By the way, are you married? If"

    "The old traitor wants to recruit me as a son-in-law? Is it Shang Wanyi?" Hearing the words "married or not", our County Magistrate Lu's ears immediately perked up!  But it's a pity that what the old traitor Shang said next made County Magistrate Lu a discouraged ball.

    "If you are already married." The old man Shang said kindly with a treacherous smile: "Then bring your wife, children, and parents to Guangzhou. My king will give them a house in the inner city of Guangzhou and let them settle down.  Now, you can have peace of mind in Yunnan. Haha, hahahaha"

    "Fuck! I've been working on this for a long time because I want to take my family members as hostages, so as to better control me." The county magistrate of Lu Da was disappointed, and replied dejectedly: "Thank you for your concern, but I haven't married a wife yet, and my parents are counting.  Both passed away a few years ago, apart from the prince, the eldest son, and the uncle who guards the old house in his hometown, the humble job has no relatives."

    "Oh, really, that's such a pity." The old traitor Shang was also disappointed, and couldn't help but glance at his eldest son Shang Zhixin, thinking what the hell are you doing, not to catch this Lu Yifeng's parents and wife  How can you safely place him as an insider on Wu Sangui's side when he is a hostage?

    "Father, since you care so much about Lu Yifeng's marriage, it is also a blessing for this slave." Shang Zhixin understood the thoughts of the traitor father, and wanted to force Lu Da County Magistrate, a talent he favored, to his side, so he  Said: "The child suggested that the father might as well find a woman from a good family in the city of Guangzhou and arrange a marriage for this slave. It not only rewards this slave, but also solves his life-long affairs. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

    "Great idea!" The old traitor Shang applauded, and he agreed with his son's proposal very much - if he has Lu Yifeng's wife and family, he will not be afraid that Lu Yifeng will play tricks in Yunnan and Guizhou.  But just when the traitor Shang was about to let the county magistrate Lu harm the girl, a palace guard suddenly ran outside the door, and hurriedly clapped his hands and said: "My lord, something is wrong, and little Gege is going to report to you again."  The abbot of Yaowang Nunnery proposed to shave her hair to become a nun, but the abbot of Yaowang Nunnery, Master Citang, refused to agree, so Xiao Gege refused to leave, crying there, and the lowly officials dared not pull her, please show me."

    "Damn girl, why are you here again?" The old traitor Shang was anxious when he heard it. Although he had more than 130 children, among them were Shang Zhixin, Shang Zhixiao and Shang Zhijie, but the only one  paintime.  "

    The nun who had been instructed by the magistrate of Lu Da county earlier answered with a blushing face. As soon as the words fell, the entire Buddhist hall was silent at first, and then the sudden laughter almost burst through the roof.  People simply burst into tears from laughter. Although Shang Wanyan still wanted to maintain a cold expression, but after the muscles on her face twitched a few times, she finally couldn't help but let out a laugh, and once again showed a smile of looking back at Bai Meisheng, six  Gong Fendai's colorless and charming smile couldn't help but cursed in a low voice, "Fatty, you must die!"

    Cursing is all about cursing, but after all this trouble, I saw the nun of Yaowang'an say that - although it was said under the coercion and lure of Lu Da County Magistrate, but Yaowang'an and Buddhism are in Shang Wanyi's heart  The sacred solemnity in the book is still swept away, and the interest is waning, and I can no longer arouse the interest in fighting my father and insisting on cutting my family.

    "Laughed!" The old traitor Shang who was already laughing so hard saw his daughter's smile, and was overjoyed immediately. He quickly pulled her up and said happily, "Wanyi, you laughed, and laughed again!"

    "Father, my daughter can go home with you." It took a lot of effort for Shang Wanyan to stop her smile, and said through gritted teeth: "But my daughter has one condition, you must hold the mouth of this fat man and punish him for blasphemy in front of the Buddha."  The crime of Buddhism."

    "Success, as long as you stop making trouble and go home with your father, your father will listen to you!" The old traitor Shang was overjoyed, and immediately yelled, "Come here!"

    "My lord, princess of the princess, no need, I'll do it myself!" County Magistrate Lu hurriedly turned around, raised his bear-like fat palm, and said with a mournful face while smacking his own mouth lightly: "My lord, in order to coax the county  The mistress is happy, she pays money and gets beaten for her lowly position, her efforts are not appreciated, but she has really devoted herself to her death and died."

    "Okay, okay, I understand your loyalty." The old man Shang happily patted Lu Da County Magistrate on the shoulder repeatedly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely reward you for your loyalty when Wan Yan utters this tone."

    "No rewards allowed!" Shang Wanyan took the conversation away, glared at County Magistrate Lu with a blushing face, and said, "For a villain like him who blasphemes Buddhism, it's fine if my daughter didn't beat him with her own hands. Do you still want a reward?"

    "Miss Princess, if you really haven't calmed down yet." County Magistrate Lu took the opportunity to lean over, with a saliva smile on his fat face, and said: "Then Madam Princess, please smoke it yourself, anyway.  The lower official has thick skin and thick flesh, so he can withstand beatings."

    "Bah! Smacking you dirty my hands!" How could Shang Wanyi smack a man in public, spit at County Magistrate Lu, stood up blushing, and hurried out of the Buddhist hall.

    "Wanyi, wait for the father." The old traitor Shang is also a person who crosses the river and demolishes bridges. Seeing that his daughter has changed his mind, he forgot about the great hero Lu Da County Magistrate.  Also quickly follow.  Soon, only the magistrate Lu Daxian and a large group of nuns remained in the entire Buddhist hall

    "Master, this is the fifty taels of silver that I promised you." County magistrate Lu still kept his promise, and quickly took out the promised fifty taels of silver and handed it to the little nun who was helping him.  The little nun blushed and refused to answer. The county magistrate Lu Da was wondering, but seeing all the nuns present looking at him with murderous eyes, the magistrate Lu panicked and quickly sent the money to the little nun.  I stuffed my hand, and then ran out

    "Masters, please forgive me¡ª¡ª!" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com

    (ps: 8,000 words for the second update today, and 3,000 words for the first update. Newcomers are hard to mix, please recommend, collect, and reward.)

    "Masters, please forgive me!"

    Screaming, the magistrate of Lu Da county rushed out of Yaowang's nunnery, caught up with the old traitor's team and rode on his horse, and finally got rid of a group of angry teachers who were chasing after him.  But it is very regrettable that at this time, the county magistrate of Lu County coveted that Shang Wan and Shang Gege had already hid in the car, and refused to see his sweetheart and dreamer, Magistrate Lu Daxian again¡ªat least the county magistrate Lu himself  That's what he thinks, but the traitor Shang is very happy and beckons the county magistrate Lu to his face.

    "Good boy, well done!" The old traitor Shang who was riding a high horse slapped County Magistrate Lu's shoulder one after another, almost knocking Magistrate Lu off his pony horse, and said with a smile: "Just now  When Wan Yan got into the carriage, she probably remembered that sentence you taught that little nun to say, and she laughed again. She also said that even if the nun was forced to say it by you, it would greatly tarnish the tranquility of Buddhism,  From now on, I will never come to this ruined temple again. This is all your credit, what do you want this king to reward you? Just ask for money and official position!"

    "I want your daughter, are you willing?" County magistrate Lu muttered in his heart, but he didn't have the guts to say such a thing in front of the murderous old traitor Shang, so he could only force a smile and say, "Thank you, my lord, for your praise."  , the humble job is just a little bit of effort, without the slightest effort, how dare you ask for any reward from the prince?"

    "Great! Why not?" The old man Shang finally showed some kindness on his ugly and ferocious face, and said with a sigh: "This girl Wanyi is the king's most beloved daughter, and also the daughter who is most filial to her parents.  Brothers and sisters who only know how to fight for power and profit, and play tricks are many times stronger. But this little girl has been in poor health since she was a child, and she never eats meat.  At that time, I even had the idea of ??shaving my hair and becoming a nun, which broke my heart and my mother's heart"

    "It's useless for you to talk about these things to me? Wouldn't it be enough to marry your daughter to me sooner?" The magistrate Lu Da was not in the mood to talk about an old traitor, he just murmured in his heart, "I suffered a bit and married you  My daughter, if it takes less than three days, she will be cured of hercoldness, if it takes less than three months to raise her fat, it will take less than a year for her to give me a big fat boy."

    "My lord, the concubine is here." When the traitor Shang and the county magistrate Lu were talking to each other, another team came to meet him, and there was a luxurious and exquisite carriage in the middle.  She is also the wife of Shang Wanyi.  However, it is a pity that the magistrate of Lu County obviously did not have the opportunity to see what the future mother-in-law in his mind would look like. The old traitor Shang went to take pictures of the horse alone, and chatted with his wife alone by the side of the carriage, and went to the magistrate of Lu County from time to time  Pointing here is probably to praise the magistrate Lu's extraordinary achievements, but until he returned to the gate of the palace, the old traitor Shang did not call the magistrate Lu to ask for credit.

    When we returned to the Pingnan Palace, it was already dark. For the sake of the meritorious work of the magistrate of Lu Da in persuading the daughter, the old traitor Shang made an exception and allowed the magistrate of Lu Da to stay in the palace for one night, and sent a few pretty maids.  Waiting for the county magistrate Lu to wash and change clothes, it's a pity that our county magistrate Lu is a character who can't be a dog.  A great opportunity for a man's body, he will sleep soundly without mentioning it when he climbs into bed.

    After a good night's sleep, when I woke up the next day, the sun had risen to a height of more than three poles. Just after breakfast, the guard suddenly came to report, saying that the old traitor Shang was invited, and he was going to meet him in the Wuyang Tower of the palace.  The county magistrate Lu Da did not dare to neglect, so he had to quickly change into his official uniform, and hurried to Wuyang Tower with the guards.  But when I went to Wuyang Tower, I saw the old traitor sitting side by side with a middle-aged beautiful woman. The guard introduced in a low voice: "Master Lu, the one sitting with the prince is Xiao Gege's biological mother.  Princess Pingnan, why don't you greet me soon?"

    "The humble Lu Yifeng, please greet the prince and concubine." The county magistrate Lu had no choice but to go up and hit a thousand sons honestly, pretending to kneel, and at the same time cursing the old traitor in his stomach that he will die.

    "You don't need to kneel, get up." Princess Pingnan stopped the county magistrate Lu from saluting with a smile, and said with a smile: "What happened yesterday is really thanks to you. Come here, give Lord Lu a seat."

    "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my concubine." The county magistrate Lu thanked, and sat down on the chair brought by the servant without any politeness.  Over there, the old traitor Shang and his wife stopped talking, and just looked at Magistrate Lu Da up and down together¡ªthe careful and fiery eyes naturally made us Magistrate Lu think of toads wanting to eat swan meat, "Old traitor  Why do the couple look at me like this? Could it be that Old Shang is really planning to recruit me as his son-in-law?"

    "Lord Lu, youHow old are you?  " Princess Pingnan asked with a smile.

    "There's something going on!" County Magistrate Lu Da was overjoyed, and he quickly sat up straight and replied, "Princess Wang, I'll be twenty-five this year, and in half a month, I'll be twenty-five years old."

    "Really? You are so young and promising." Princess Pingnan praised casually with a smile, and then said: "It's rare to be so stable and mature at such a young age, and can entrust important affairs, which is much better than most officials in the palace.  Prince, such a talent is very rare, you should reuse it."

    "Of course, when this kid comes back from Yunnan, the king will definitely use him and promote him." The old traitor Shang replied casually.

    "Thank you, the prince and concubine, for their praise. I am ashamed to be an official." County Magistrate Lu pretended to be modest.

    "Lord Lu, I heard that you are the new county magistrate of Qujing. This time, you came to Guangzhou and just took a detour. Is that true?" Princess Pingnan asked with a smile.

    "Returning to Wangfei, that's exactly the case." Lu Da County Magistrate replied honestly: "According to the practice of the Qing Dynasty, before taking office, a local official must first go to the capital to meet the current Long Live, listen to the instructions of the Emperor Long Live, and then return to the local area to officially take office.  This time, Beizhi just took a detour to Guangdong to do some errands for Prince Pingxi and Pingnan, and now that the errands have been completed, in about a day or two, Beizhi will leave for Beijing."

    "So that's the case, it's really hard work." Princess Pingnan nodded, then smiled and said: "Master Lu, since this is the case, when you go to Beijing, would you like to help the prince and me with something?"

    "Everything in the humble position is given by the prince and the prince." The county magistrate Lu said without shame: "Serving the prince and the princess is the duty and honor of the humble position. Please order it from the princess."

    "Very good." Princess Pingnan nodded in satisfaction, and said, "I hope that when you go to Beijing, you can bring Wanyi Gege to the capital as well."

    "What? Let Beizhi take the little Princess to the capital?" Happiness came so suddenly that Magistrate Lu couldn't believe his ears at this meeting, and couldn't help but screamed out.

    "What? You don't want to?" The old traitor Shang obviously misunderstood the meaning of Lu Daxian's excitement, and said angrily: "Actually, you don't need to worry too much. I will send a team of guards to escort Wanyi to the capital. You just need to  Just go with her team, take care of her on the way, tell her more jokes, and let her relax. Damn, you boy can have the opportunity to escort my daughter to Beijing, such a good job, you go  where to find it?"

    "Dare to ask the prince and concubine, why do you suddenly want to let the humble official escort the little princess to Beijing?" County Magistrate Lu asked excitedly.

    "Hey, isn't it because this little girl has been arguing about wanting to become a monk all day long?" Princess Pingnan sighed, and said slowly: "My lord seems to have already told you about Wanyan, so I won't be wordy.  Yes. I discussed it with the prince last night, and I think it¡¯s not a big deal if this goes on. It¡¯s no fun keeping this little girl in Guangzhou all day long. I¡¯m afraid she will think about becoming a monk and shave her hair again. It¡¯s better to let her go out.  Take a walk and relax, maybe you will stop this idea."

    "It's a coincidence." The old traitor Shang took the topic and said: "Now it is the end of the year, and the eighth day of the second month of the new year happens to be the birthday of the current Empress Dowager. According to the rules, Lao Tzu's Pingnan Palace has to send someone to  Her old man sent a congratulatory gift. Usually, I would send a random son to present a birthday gift. This year, I took this opportunity to make a trip for this little girl, Wan Yan, to take care of this errand and let her relax on the road.  , maybe she will gradually lose her desire to become a monk, and when she comes back, I will find her a son-in-law, so I won't have to worry about her in the future."

    "Lord Lu, we could have left this job to someone else." Princess Pingnan said with a smile, "But that little girl Wanyi has such a weird temper. Although she has a good heart, she is cold to everyone.  Being able to smile in front of you and play a little bit of a temper shows that you are very fond of her. So the prince and I came up with this method, let you accompany her to Beijing, tell her more jokes on the way, give her more  She relaxes, so she doesn't have to work so hard on the road, and her third brother Shang Zhili lives in the capital, so she has a place to stay when she arrives in the capital, so we don't need to worry too much, but I don't know if you want to  .¡±

    "Will he dare to do it or not!" The old traitor Shang just wanted to show his power

    "I am willing to do it, one hundred people are willing to do it!" The county magistrate Lu jumped up, and his fat eyes also shot out the excitement of a big bad wolf seeing a little white rabbit, and he bowed and bowed excitedly: "Please, my lord!"  Don't worry, Wangfei, I will definitely take care of the little princess on the way, and I will definitely send her to the capital safely and completely!"

    "Huh?" The old traitor Shang and Princess Nan looked at each other, wondering, and said together in their hearts: "What happened? Why did we have a situation where we pushed a lamb into the wolf's mouth just now?"  Feeling? Is this big fat guy really reliable?"

    "Young master, young master, come here, the little ones have something good to offer you."

    On October 13th, the magistrate Lu Da, who had completed Wu Sangui's errand, was about to leave Guangzhou and set off for Beijing to see you.  But as soon as he woke up, when Lu Da County Magistrate was still eating breakfast, Xiao Erlang, Liu Zhen, Liu Xu and Shen Xin, the four big dogs under Lu Da County Magistrate's subordinates, came into the room.  These few bad guys who are born with five elements are not doing anything when they enter the house. First, they carefully close the door and windows, and then they gather together at the table of Lu Da County magistrate, saying that they have good things to dedicate to Lu Da County.  Ling, while cherishing and placing a small white porcelain bottle in front of Lu Da County Magistrate.

    "What is this?" County Magistrate Lu Da was confused and picked up the small porcelain bottle. Seeing the cap on the bottle, it seemed to contain something.

    "Mongolian medicine." Xiao Erlang's words almost knocked County Magistrate Lu off his chair.

    "Sweat medicine? Where did you get the sweat medicine?" County Magistrate Lu asked confusedly: "What do I want to do with sweat medicine? I am an official of the imperial court, and I am not a sap thief in the rivers and lakes. What is the use of this thing?"

    "The brothers of the Liu family took the little one to the ghost market to buy it last night. This small bottle cost ten taels of silver!" Xiao Erlang explained: "It's also thanks to Liu Zhen and his three brothers who have been traveling all over the world for many years and know this little bottle."  There are many people in the area, and there is a way to get this medicine, otherwise, we will just go there, and we will not be able to buy it no matter how much money we spend."

    "My lord, please don't worry, this is definitely the real thing." Liu Zhen also patted his chest and said: "Although the little ones have never used this kind of thing, I have seen them use it. Just put a little bit in the wine, and people drink it.  Drowsy."

    "Put it in the food." Liu Xu interjected: "But the old commoner who sells medicine said that this medicine is mainly made of Yangjinhua (Mandala flower), which has a spicy taste, and put it in rice and water  It is easy to be found, so it is best to put it in wine for the best effect."

    "So what if it's genuine? What do I want this for?" County Magistrate Lu became more and more confused the more he heard it.

    "Master, why don't you pretend?" Xiao Erlang smiled ambiguously, and said obsequiously: "Since the prince decided to let you escort Xiao Gege to the capital, you have been smiling every day like picking up gold ingots. What do you mean, we  Still don't understand?"

    "Yes, my lord, they are all men, so it would be meaningless to keep it a secret." Liu Zhen smiled even more meanly, "Brother Erlang has already told us brothers that you fell in love with Prince Pingnan's Little Gege when you first arrived in Guangzhou City.  It's not a day or two since I drool over her, now that such a good opportunity is in front of you, how can you still miss it?"

    "That's right, we just understand what you mean, my lord, and in order to repay you for your shelter, we came up with such an idea for you." Liu Xu couldn't wait to instigate: "If this thing happens, you will be normal, my lord."  Now that Prince Nan is the county horse, he can enjoy endless glory and wealth."

    "At that time, the little ones can also follow the adults to soak up." Shen Xin said with a face full of intoxication: "Eat deep-fried dough sticks in the morning, you can drink a bowl of soy milk, and eat steamed buns at noon. If you want to dip white sugar, if you want to dip brown sugar  Brown sugar, I want to drink white wine to drink white wine when I drink at night, I want to drink rice wine to drink rice wine"

    "There are maidservants!" Xiao Erlang said in a hurry: "Young master, why should you reward us with maidservants? The young ones are all grown up, and it's time to beg for wives and have sons!"

    "Get out! A bunch of bastards!" The county magistrate Lu Da couldn't bear it any longer, so he picked up the feather duster that was put aside and started to whip it up, making Xiao Erlang and the Liu family brothers jump like crazy, cursing while whipping, "Bastard bastard,  Who do you think Lao Tzu is? Is Lao Tzu the kind of person who puts drugs on other girls? Besides, she is Shang Kexi¡¯s daughter. If I drug her, if Shang Kexi knows about it, I won¡¯t have to peel off my skin.  ?¡±

    "Don't worry, my lord, the lord can't possibly know. Even if Little Gege doesn't want to, he won't dare to reveal it afterward" Liu Xu wanted to quibble, but was slapped on his mouth by County Magistrate Lu with a feather duster, and he hurriedly opened the door in pain.  run outside.

    "Where are you running?" The county magistrate Lu Da, who was furious, refused to give up and chased him out.  It never occurred to me that just as soon as he left the room, Kong Fanlin went up to the second floor where Lu Da County Magistrate's room was located, and shouted at Lu Da County Magistrate: "Brother Lu, have you packed your luggage? The Palace sent someone to urge you."  That's right, Little Gege's team is about to set off, and now there is less than half an hour left, if you don't hurry up, you will lose time."

    "Okay, I'll be right away, and Brother Kong, hurry up and let's go out of the city together and break up outside the city." The county magistrate Lu Da promised, and went back to the room and shouted at Xiao Erlang and others who were hiding in the room with a smirk: "Everyone  Don't be stunned, pack your luggage quickly, if you delay the time, the prince will blame me, I will sendThe minister didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly sent this letter from Feige to his master, Kong Sizhen.  After reading the news, Kong Sizhen, who was half lying on the couch, frowned and asked Dai Liangchen after a while, "What did Fu Honglie say? Did he agree to help Shang Zhixiao?"

    "Master, this matter has too much influence, and it concerns the entire Guangdong political situation, so that slave Fu Honglie didn't dare to make decisions privately." Dai Liangchen peeked at Kong Sizhen's plump and straight chest, and said respectfully: "Fu Honglie reported to the master with a carrier pigeon.  This matter, I just want to ask my master, should I help Shang Zhixiao, get rid of Shang Wanyi on the way, and then create a fake situation where Lu Yifeng raped and killed Shang Wanyi? By the way, because Shang Wanyi and the others left  The land route is relatively slow, after the master instructs Fu Honglie with carrier pigeons, Fu Honglie still has plenty of time to prepare."

    "What do you think? Should Fu Honglie be asked to help Shang Zhixiao?" Kong Sizhen raised his head and asked Dai Liangchen.

    "The slave thinks that I should help with this." Dai Liangchen said darkly: "Shang Zhixin is arrogant and domineering, and he has never taken our Dingnan Palace seriously, and his attitude towards Wu Sangui is not like Shang Kexi's filial piety.  Such hatred and hostility, if this person is not eliminated, I am afraid that sooner or later it will become a serious disaster for the court. Therefore, the servant believes that we should agree to Shang Zhixiao's request, help Shang Zhixiao to overthrow Shang Zhixin, and eliminate future troubles for the court forever!"

    "What's even better." Dai Liangchen said with a sly smile: "This Lu Yifeng is an official in the selection of the West and belongs to the old man Wu Sangui.  It is gratifying to not deal with the old man Wu Sangui, and he must fight the old man Wu Sangui to his death! With the civil strife in San Francisco, the emperor couldn't be happier? Another point, when something like this happened, the old man Wu Sangui planted officials from the west everywhere  The strength is also immediately suppressed, and it can kill multiple birds with one stroke, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

    "So it makes sense." Kong Sizhen pondered for a long time, patted the armrest of the reclining chair, and ordered: "Reply to Fu Honglie and ask him to help Shang Zhixiao! But you can't do it in Chaozhou, you have to change it! It's best to be in Chaozhou."  Let Fujian do it, and then let the three old guys Geng Jimao, Shang Kexi and Wu Sangui fight!"

    "Zha, I'll arrange it right now, my servant." Dai Liangchen agreed with a thousand words, but he refused to take a step to do the errand, his eyes just rolled around Kong Sizhen's exquisite and convex figure lewdly, presumptuous and unscrupulous.

    "Deadly! You just wanted a reward for your master?" Kong Sizhen understood Dai Liangchen's meaning, stretched out his fingers and touched Dai Liangchen's bulging crotch, and said with a smile: "I want a reward  Why don't you hurry up? Master will go back to deal with that idiot Sun Yanling soon, and I don't have much time for you."

    "Thank you, master, for the reward." Dai Liangchen cheered in a low voice, and a hungry tiger fell on Kong Sizhen's body, and hurriedly tore Kong Sizhen's clothes.  Kong Sizhen twisted the water snake's waist with a coquettish smile, and said with a coquettish smile in his heart: "Fatty Lu, I'm sorry, the servant wanted to taste you very much, but for the sake of the master's future foundation, I had to sacrifice you once.  Alas, for the sake of the master, I have pity on the first time in Yunnan, my slave."

    "Master, the slave has come in!"

    "Come on, work harder, the master wants to reward you ah, dog slave why did you bite there again? Sun Yanling is in Guilin and will be found" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com

    "Fufutai, Fufutai, the general is back."

    Shouting, General Yang Guotai of Guangdong Chaozhou Prefecture rushed into the back garden of Chaozhou prefect¡¯s yamen, and then rushed into the prefect¡¯s study on the west side of the back garden.  Fu Honglie, the prefect of Chaozhou, yelled: "Master Futai, the general is back, and the general has finished all the errands you asked for! Oh, the weather is so terrible, the general is almost dying of heat."

    "Hot is better than cold, right? You don't know how to be blessed." Fu Honglie put down the scroll in his hand with a smile, and said slowly: "More than 30 years ago, when Emperor Zhu Ming Chongzhen was in power, Guangdong was snowed year after year.  The autumn and winter crops failed year after year, and famine was everywhere. If Guangdong was so hot at that time, Emperor Chongzhen would not know how happy he would be. It is also thanks to our two Longevity Lords Shunzhi and Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, that the weather in Guangdong is now smooth.  The seasons are like spring."

    "It's really too hot." Yang Guotai smiled wryly as he shook his handkerchief, sweating as soon as he twisted it.

    "Forget it, let's talk about these gossips slowly." Fu Honglie said: "Come on, let's find out about the situation of Pingnan Wang Xiaogege's team. How is it going?"

    "Going back to Futai, the general has found out." Yang Guotai quickly replied: "Xiao Gege's team arrived at Yunluo yesterday, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Chenghai tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. There are 371 people in the team, including Li Tianzhi's team.  The army has a total of 310 generals and soldiers, Xiao Gege has 23 maids, servants and bodyguards, what is Lu Yifeng's West Selector and a team of servants, a total of 28 people."

    "Is their protection of Xiao Gege strict?" Fu Honglie asked: "Also, in Li Tianzhi's team, how many insiders did the second prince put in? Have you got in touch?"

    "Very strict." Yang Guotai said helplessly: "That kid Li Tianzhi is very meticulous. He divides the soldiers into three teams and takes turns protecting Xiao Gege day and night.  Gege¡¯s carriage and sleeping tent. The second prince is not very promising. In total, he has only placed two insiders in this team, a bribed army fire chief, and an ordinary guard.  Grid."

    "There are not many soldiers, but good ones." Fu Honglie said darkly: "Two insiders are enough. At least they can help us find out the work and rest time of these guards and the route of travel."

    "So, the master agrees with us?" Yang Guotai asked in surprise.

    "Of course I agree." Fu Honglie nodded and said with a sinister smile, "How could the master miss such a good opportunity?"

    "Then how do we do it?" Yang Guotai asked happily: "How about like last time, the general will lead a group of people pretending to be pirates or Taiwan's Zheng Ni's army, and take them all at night?"

    "The master has explained that they cannot act in the territory of Chaozhou Prefecture. It is best to wait until they arrive in Fujian." Fu Honglie shook his head and said, "Master has considered very carefully. Even if there is no leak of news in the territory of Chaozhou Prefecture, it is inevitable in the end."  You and I are implicated. But if you do it in Fujian, first, you and I can easily get rid of the relationship after the matter is completed; second, Fujian is the Dingfan of Jingnan King Geng Jimao.  Kill Shang Kexi's little daughter, even if the three old dogs don't want dogs to bite dogs, they can't help them, and it will be of great benefit to our master and the long live emperor."

    "Then where in Fujian will we attack?" Yang Guotai asked: "Also, our strength in Fujian is relatively weak. If we attack there, it may be difficult to wipe out Li Tianzhi's team of barbarians. Specifically, what should we do?  There has to be a surefire plan.¡±

    "Let me think about it." Fu Honglie did not rush to answer, but first took out the map of Fujian, looked at the map for a while, and suddenly said: "Do it at Fengting at the junction of Quanzhou and Putian! This place is separated from Chaozhou by Zhangzhou  And Quanzhou, we are not involved in the accident, and it is far away from Fuzhou, Geng Jimao's base camp, so it can prevent Geng Jimao from suddenly intervening! More importantly, this area is the hardest hit area for the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty and Taiwan Zheng's rebellion activities.  Even if there is any accident, the crime can be easily pushed to the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty and Taiwan Zheng Ni!"

    "That's right, the Master Futai is wise. This is indeed a good place to do it." Yang Guotai said with great joy: "The general will arrange the manpower. First organize the manpower and arrange it in this position in advance."

    "Don't worry, let me think about it again." Fu Honglie thought hard again, and after a long time of calculation, Fu Honglie suddenly asked again: "General Guotai, if I remember correctly, the information you collected before shows that Shang Zhixin  This confidant Li Tianzhi seems to have a habit of leading troops-everyone who commits crimes in his army??Unexpectedly, the county magistrate Lu, who was thinking about his own thoughts, did not provoke Shang Wanyi. Instead, Shang Wanyi's personal maid named Qiuyue poked her head out of the carriage window and asked the county magistrate Lu.  He waved and said, "Lord Lu, come to the window, Gege has something to ask you."

    "Huh? The little girl finally couldn't help but feel happy?" The county magistrate Lu was overjoyed. He quickly put down his worries and patted his horse forward. He leaned in front of the window and asked, "My lady, what are your orders?"

    Shang Wanyan still had that icy look on her face, sitting in the carriage without moving. She just turned her pretty side face to County Magistrate Lu and asked coldly, "Who told you to come behind my carriage? I  It seems that Li Tianzhi gave an order that you are only allowed to follow behind my team and not to approach my carriage."

    "Damn girl, you obviously want to find an excuse to talk to me, so what are you pretending to do?" County Magistrate Lu shamelessly smiled inwardly, and replied with an apologetic smile on his face: "Go back to the princess, it was General Li who asked the officer to follow your carriage.  From behind, General Li said, the people of Chaozhou Prefecture are living in poverty, and thieves are rampant, and they are afraid that some thieves will suddenly appear on the road, which will frighten you, the princess, so I asked the little one to follow behind your carriage, ready to protect you at any time."

    "Who are you lying to?" Shang Wanyan suddenly sneered, and said, "Who is Fu Honglie, the magistrate of Chaozhou, I don't know yet? He is the most famous Fu Qingtian in Guangdong.  If you don¡¯t close your doors at night and don¡¯t pick up lost things on the road, how many households in Chaozhou have offered him longevity tablets. Under his rule, the thieves are rampant, and the people are in dire straits?¡±

    "Yes, yes, yes." The county magistrate of Lu Da also knew that Fu Honglie's official reputation in Guangdong was very good, so he hurriedly echoed: "The princess is right. After returning to Qujing to take office in the future, the next official will definitely learn from Mr. Fu.  Manage Qujing County so that the doors are not closed at night, and the roads are not picked up. Please rest assured, my majesty, the officials will definitely follow your orders."

    "How you manage Qujing is your business, it has nothing to do with me, and I didn't tell you to do anything." Shang Wanyi turned her face away and said, "I just tell you to stay away from me, I don't want to see you."

    "Why?" The county magistrate of Lu Da, whose kindness was not rewarded, wept.

    "I hate fat people." Shang Wanyi replied coldly, and the curtains of the carriage windows were quickly lowered by the maid.

    "Am I really so fat that I'm so jealous?" Fatty Lu thought aggrievedly, "I'm less than two hundred catties. In the 21st century, I should be considered a handsome, slender and fit guy."  At the very least, am I better than that fat, fifth-rate writer in the 21st century who claims to be Wu Laolang and smokes two yuan and five packs of inferior cigarettes all day long?"

    ?

    (ps: There are two updates today, and the second update is around 12 o'clock in the evening. Newcomers are hard to mix, please support Pure Wolf on the list.)

    Crossing the Hanjiang River on the wooden bridge creaked by Fatty Lu, the ancient city of Chenghai, famous for its lychees and laver, appeared in front of Fatty Lu and his party.  At the same time, there were also Chaozhou civil and military officials, such as Fu Honglie, the prefect of Chaozhou, Yang Guotai, the general of Chaozhou, etc., who appeared in front of the big fatty Lu and monk Wanyi.

    Just like the legend, the Chaozhou magistrate kneeling at the front and wearing a fourth-rank official uniform is indeed a very attractive heroic man. He is in his thirties, with a moderate build and slender limbs.  , the two mustaches are neatly trimmed, and he looks very energetic. A pair of black and white red phoenix eyes are piercing, looking around, as if they can go straight to the bottom of his heart-compared with him, our big county magistrate, Fatty Lu, is actually nothing.  A little less dramatic.

    What made Fatty Lu even more angry was that when Fu Honglie went to salute Shang Wanyi's car, Shang Wanyi, who was too lazy to move all day long, let alone talk to Fatty Lu, took the initiative to do so without anyone calling him.  He got off the carriage and returned a salute to Fu Honglie.

    "Master Fu, please don't be too polite, please hurry up." Shang Wanyi tried to squeeze out a little smile, blessed Fu Honglie, and said: "You are an official ordered by the court, and you are an upright official known to both the court and the public.  How dare an ordinary woman who has not received a title be such a big gift to Mr. Fu? And all the adults and all the generals, please hurry up."

    "Stinky girl, why don't you talk so much in front of me?" Fatty Lu suddenly sensed a sense of crisis, and after cursing secretly, he hurried forward, cupped his hands to Fu Honglie and said, "I'm an official, Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Qujing County, to meet the magistrate.¡ª  ¡ª I don¡¯t know how many wives and concubines Gui Geng, the magistrate, has?¡±

    "Lu Yifeng, you are the only one in the world who visits Shangguan like this?" Chaozhou general Yang Guotai jumped out and asked angrily, "As soon as we met, I asked how many wives and concubines Mr. Fu has. What do you mean?"

    "Forget it, Mr. Lu may just be making an inappropriate joke." Fu Honglie smiled heartily, waved his hands to repel Yang Guotai, and said to Fatty Lu: "Actually, it's okay to tell Mr. Lu. This year, there are two in my family.  There is only one wife who is poor and has never taken a concubine."

    "Did you hear that? This kid already has a wife." Fatty Lu triumphantly turned his head to look at Shang Wanyan, but saw Shang Wanyan's expression was cold, and he still turned a blind eye to him.

    After the routine exchange of greetings and false courtesies in the officialdom, Fu Honglie began to invite Shang Wanyi and his party into the city, saying that he had borrowed a garden from a wealthy businessman in Chenghai City for Shang Wanyi to stay in, and specifically told Li Tianzhi: "  General Li, the people in Chenghai City are small and poor, I implore the general to restrain his subordinates and not let them harass the people, otherwise, the subordinate officials will not know what to do."

    "Master Fu, tell others what you said." Li Tianzhi, who came from Shang Zhixin's faction, didn't have a good word for Fu Honglie, and said coldly, "When did my subordinates of Li Tianzhi harass the people?"

    "General Li, Master Fu is right. You have to restrain your subordinates." Shang Wanyi probably wanted to be angry with Fatty Lu on purpose, but even supported Fu Honglie: "If you let it go and disturb the people of Chenghai, then  my sins."

    "The last general obeys orders." Li Tianzhi agreed helplessly, then turned around and roared angrily from his subordinates: "The order will be passed on. After entering the city, soldiers are strictly prohibited from harassing the people. If there is any disobedience, don't blame this general for being ruthless!"

    "Of order." All the soldiers in Guangdong agreed in unison, Shang Wanyi got back into the car, and rushed to Xingxuan under the personal guidance of Fu Honglie. It was only at this moment that Fatty Lu was surprised to find that Fu Honglie, the magistrate of Chaozhou, had actually  There is not even a sedan chair, and Shang Wanyan leads the way into the city on foot.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Fu Qingtian! Fu Qingtian is here!"

    "The grass people paid homage to Fu Qingtian and kowtowed to Fu Qingtian."

    "Folks, come and kowtow to Fu Qingtian¡ª!"

    Fu Honglie really won the hearts of the people in Chaozhou Prefecture. Along the way, wherever he went, there were countless people kneeling on both sides of the street, scrambling to kowtow to Fu Honglie, and many people even came from the roadside houses and shops  He ran out to salute and kowtow, but completely turned a blind eye to Shang Wanyi and Fatty Lu who were flying the banner of King Pingnan.  Seeing this scene, Lu Da County Magistrate couldn't help but asked Liu Zhen and the others beside him: "You guys are from Cantonese, and you know the situation in Chaozhou Prefecture. Why is Master Fu so loved?"

    "My lord, Mr. Fu is indeed a good official." Liu Zhen replied respectfully: "When the little ones went to Chaozhou to perform arts, they often?.  Over there, Li Tianzhi was extremely troubled, so he could only turn to Shang Wanyan and ask, "Little Gege, what do you think about this?"

    "Since our people have already pleaded guilty, what are we talking about?" Shang Wanyi said lightly: "Just do what you want, don't take sides, it will hurt the hearts of the people."

    "Strike!" Li Tianzhi clasped his fists in agreement, waved his hand again, and motioned for the soldiers to carry out the execution in public. After beating the little six with twenty army sticks, Li Tianzhi asked the little six to pay the copper coins for the fruit sellers, and finally shouted: "Go from today,  Get rid of the post of fire chief, and go to the kitchen to take the blame and make meritorious service!"

    "Is this really just a coincidence?" Facing the disdainful white eyes of the monks all over the street, Fatty Lu rolled his eyes and calculated, "If this is not a coincidence, but someone deliberately arranged it, then what is his real purpose?  What is it? Also, that Yang Guotai next to Fu Honglie blinked just now, was he winking? Could it be that all of this was arranged by him?"

    "This Lu Yifeng must be killed." Fu Honglie whispered in Yang Guotai's ear: "This fat man Lu is extremely sophisticated and cunning. If he is a thief, he will be a great harm to the court! If he doesn't follow a thief, he will be treated with four stances."  His appreciation and his own talent, the future will be ahead of you and me! Therefore, I will personally command this operation, and get rid of this serious trouble for the imperial court and us in advance!" (Remember this website website: www.hlnovel.com

    "Recover! Recover! Recover!" As the steel knife stabbed, more than forty horses in Li Tianzhi's team were quickly killed.  But at this moment, the men in black in the distance had already realized that the situation here was wrong, and they all shouted: "There are people on the side of the war horses, and there are tartars on the other side of the horses!"

    "I've been spotted, run away!" Big Fatty Lu made a quick decision, and left as soon as he patted his horse. Xiao Erlang and Liu Zhen and other dog legs over there didn't even care about killing the horse. They jumped on the horse one after another and ran away.  He kept chasing after him and kept shouting, "Kill the Tartars, kill the Tartars!"

    "Dog tartar, stop!" Before running far, several men in black jumped out from the opposite side, and blocked the way of Fatty Lu and his party with swords.  Fortunately, Fatty Lu still had a few better dogs around him. The three brothers of the Liu family slapped their horses and rushed forward. Two of them slashed wildly with knives and one stabbed with a spear. They killed a man in black in the blink of an eye.  Seeing the fierce momentum of the Liu family brothers, the men in black didn't dare to fight back and scattered left and right. Fatty Lu charged forward with six men and five riders.

    "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound of the musket made Fatty Lu's soul sway. Fatty Lu looked back in fear, but saw Xiao Erlang following behind him, blocking the direction of the musket for himself.  Fatty Lu hurriedly asked, "Erlang, are you alright?"

    "It's okay, young master, you don't have to worry about me, run, I'll block the gun for you!" Xiao Erlang said it's okay, he went back with his left hand to press the wound on his back, gritted his teeth and endured it.

    "It's good that it's okay, hurry up, don't fall behind!" Fatty Lu believed it was true, roared and kicked the horse's belly, hugged Shang Wanyan tightly with one hand, and pulled the rein tightly with the other hand, and let the horse run wildly.  Two of the four dog legs opened the way, and the two were in the rear, protecting monk Wanyi, the fat man Lu.

    "My lord, Lord Lu, Little Gege!" The sound of gunfire stopped, and a new voice came from behind, "Wait for me, I am Liang Shang, the guard of the Pingnan Palace! Lord Lu, we just met during the day  Face! I rushed out with a few brothers, wait for me, I also want to protect Little Gege!"

    "Master, it's ours!" Liu Xu said happily, "I remember his voice, he even gambled with us a few days ago, it's unmistakable, he is indeed ours." As he spoke, Liu Xu subconsciously  Slowed down the sprint speed.

    "Bastard! No one can be trusted!" Fatty Lu was furious, and roared, "Hurry up, in that team, except for Li Tianzhi, you can't believe it! If you want to survive, charge me!" Liu Xu waited for the dog to fight  After shivering, he quickly accelerated again, and ran after Fatty Lu again.

    "Lord Lu, Little Gege, wait for me, wait for us!" The pursuers shouted harder and harder, but Fatty Lu and the others rushed faster and faster.  Seeing that Fatty Lu and the others were about to rush out of the sight of the group of pursuers, the group of pursuers gave up deceit and took out their muskets again to shoot at Fatty Lu and the others. Fortunately, the distance was far away at this time.  Xiao Erlang, who took the initiative to stand behind and act as a shield for Fatty Lu, was not beaten to death when the bullet was shot in the middle of nowhere in Heideng.

    "Little princess, are you alright?" Just after escaping from the sight of the pursuers, he breathed a sigh of relief, and Fatty Lu became concerned about Shang Wanyi's current situation, for fear that the little girl was accidentally shot by a musket in the dark.  hit.

    "I'm fine." In the turbulent sea, Shang Wanyan's tone was still so cold, and she said in an even colder voice: "However, if you hold my hand, can you change your position?"

    "Changing the position of the hand?" Fatty Lu was a little confused, and only then realized that his hand felt very comfortable, the place he touched was soft, hard, and full of elasticity.  Looking down again, Fatty Lu's fat face turned red, he reluctantly moved away the fat hand that had been pressing on Shang Wanyi's chest, and pressed Shang Wanyi's slender waist instead, and said embarrassingly:  "Sorry, it's too dark to see clearly, it wasn't intentional."

    "I know you didn't do it on purpose, otherwise, you wouldn't have squeezed so hard." Shang Wanyi said coldly: "Now, you can tell me, who wants to kill me? Also,  Why do you say that the guards and the army around me are untrustworthy? How much do you really know?"

    "This" Fatty Lu was a little hesitant, wondering if he should tell Shang Wanyi the truth, that is, the truth that both Shang Wanyi's eldest brother and second brother wanted to kill her.

    "Why don't you tell me?" Shang Wanyan's big eyes stared at Fatty Lu and asked, "Can't you tell me? Or you don't want to tell me at all?"

    "My lord, the enemy is chasing us on horseback!" Liu Zhen yelled loudly and relieved Fatty Lu. Fatty Lu looked back, and although he couldn't see very far in the darkness, the sound of horseshoes was clearly heard from behind.  came.  Lu Da? Fatty Lu also carried Xiao Erlang up the steps with difficulty.

    "Wow woof! woof woof!" The barking of a dog came suddenly, and the sound of horseshoes also came at the same time, and someone vaguely shouted: "The black tiger is barking, it may be that the surnamed Lu has been found, hurry up!"

    "Damn it, there's even a hunting dog!" Fatty Lu was so frightened that his legs almost gave way, and hurried up the mountain with Xiao Erlang on his back, and Shang Wanyi also gritted his teeth and followed quickly.

    Xiao Erlang, who was seriously injured on his back, stumbled and finally climbed up to the top of the mountain. Only then did Fatty Lu realize that there was a temple on the top of the mountain. Then he looked up at the big temple plaque above his head under the crescent moon when the dark clouds emerged again. Fatty Lu  Suddenly he opened his mouth wide - on the big plaque, the words Shaolin Temple are clearly in sight!

    "Shaolin Temple? Isn't Shaolin Temple in Henan? Why did you come to Fujian?" Surprised, Fatty Lu blurted out without thinking.

    "Idiot! This is Southern Shaolin!" Shang Wanyi rolled her eyes at Fatty Lu, and hummed, "I don't even know the famous Putian Southern Shaolin. I really don't know how to read your book!"

    "Wow woof! woof woof!" The dog barked again, and the distance was much closer.  Fatty Lu had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush up to slam the gate of Shaolin Temple, "Bang! Bang! Bang¡ª¡ª!"

    (ps: The third update was delivered today. It is difficult for newcomers, please support me.)

    "Bang! Bang! Bang bang! Bang bang bang bang¡ª!"

    After knocking on the door for a long time with all his strength, Fatty Lu was so anxious that he almost yelled, "Open the door for me, dog and donkey"¡ªbut considering that this temple is called Shaolin Temple, Fatty Lu finally swallowed it down.  out of breath.  It was not until the footsteps and shouts of the pursuers could be heard clearly that the door of Shaolin Temple opened with a creak, and a young monk came out yawning, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, some benefactors knock on the door late at night, what advice do you have?"

    "Master, help!" Fatty Lu yelled, pushed the monk behind Xiao Erlang's back and rushed into the temple, and pulled Shang Wanyi in casually.

    "Benefactor, what are you doing?" The monk was taken aback by Fatty Lu's rude behavior, and quickly grabbed Fatty Lu again.

    "Master, please do me a favor." Big Fatty Lu begged, "Our husband and wife were chased and killed by bandits, and our servant was also seriously injured.  Super Buddha, save the lives of our young couple and servants."

    It has to be admitted that the monks in ancient times were generally of high quality, and the Shaolin Temple in the south is a true Buddhist school that has never had any bad deeds or scandals.  So although the young monk felt a bit embarrassed, seeing Xiao Erlang covered in blood on Fatty Lu's back, and hearing the approaching footsteps and shouts of pursuers, he gritted his teeth and quickly closed the temple gate  , said in a low voice: "Three benefactors, please come with the little monk."

    After saying that, the monk immediately stepped forward to lead the way, Fatty Lu thanked him repeatedly, Shang Wanyan quickly twisted the fat place on Fatty Lu's waist, glared at Fatty Lu with a blushing face, and treated Fatty Lu shamelessly  The self-proclaimed husband and wife are very dissatisfied.  Fatty Lu smiled wryly, leaned close to Shang Wanyi's ear and whispered: "Little Princess, the situation is unclear, please be aggrieved first." Shang Wanyi gave Big Fatty Lu another look, and did not speak.

    The young monk led Fatty Lu and the three of them into an incense room in the West Pian Hall, first asked Fatty Lu to put Xiao Erlang down, then lit the lamp and handed it to Fatty Lu to tear open Xiao Erlang's body by himself.  The bloody clothes inspected the injury and said quickly: "Benefactor, this benefactor suffered a gunshot wound, and the iron bullet was still buried in his flesh. The injury is quite serious. You must take out the iron bullet before applying the medicine, otherwise your life will be in danger."

    "Then I'm going to trouble Master, please save him." Fatty Lu said anxiously: "Master, please, please save him quickly, and I will definitely repay him."

    "You don't have to be polite, it's the responsibility of Shaolin monks to save the dying and heal the wounded." The monk replied: "But this kind of injury can't be saved by the monk, so I will go ask Uncle Zhiheng. He is proficient in medical science and will definitely be a respected servant  Heal this wound."

    "Thank you, master, thank you very much." Fatty Lu was overjoyed and thanked repeatedly.  Just at this time, there was another round of knocking on the door, and the temple door was knocked loudly, and someone else shouted fiercely: "Open the door! Open the door! Officers and soldiers are arresting robbers! Dogs and donkeys, open the door for me!  "

    "Master, you must not listen to that group of people, we are not bandits." Fatty Lu was anxious, and quickly revealed his identity.

    "Don't worry, the benefactor, I can tell at a glance whether you are bandits or not." The monk smiled and replied, "The two male benefactors are not skilled in martial arts, and this female benefactor is so weak, and there is another benefactor with a gun."  Injury, how could it be bandits? The three benefactors don¡¯t need to panic, just wait here patiently, and the monk will send them away.¡±

    After finishing speaking, the monk folded his hands and took his leave, while Fatty Lu, Monk Wanyi and the others waited in fear in the room.  Fatty Lu crouched on the crack of the door to peek worriedly, and saw that the monk first entered the backyard of Shaolin Temple, and after a while, a group of monks ran out of the backyard quickly with their sticks in hand. Two old monks  One went to the gate, and the other walked directly to this side, and pushed open the door of the fragrant room where Fatty Lu was.

    "Three benefactors, don't panic." The old monk clasped his hands together and said, "Old Na Zhiheng, who lives in Shaolin Temple as an inquisitor, just now heard from his nephew, that one of the three benefactors was wounded by a gunshot wound, and he came here to treat him."

    "Thank you so much, master." Fatty Lu thanked him frightenedly, and hurriedly led the old monk Zhiheng to Xiao Erlang's side.  Master Zhiheng first held the lamp to see Xiao Erlang's injury, nodded, and said: "donor, don't worry, the lead bullet from the musket just hit the bone, and did not hurt the internal organs. You can still be saved. Please benefactor to hold the lamp, this old man is a respected servant."  Heal."

    After saying that, Master Zhiheng handed the oil lamp to Fatty Lu, untied the medicine bag he brought with him, and took out various healing items from it.  Said: "donor don't have to worry about??The old thing vented his anger!  You not only cheated the master to death this time, but also cheated us!  "

    "My lord, the last general really caused a big disaster this time." Yang Guotai clutched his stomach and screamed, "We have to find a way to save it, at least we have to rescue the brother who was captured by the bald donkeys,  Or kill them all, and don't leave witnesses for them!"

    "Fuck you, there are 120 monks and bald donkeys in Putian Shaolin Temple, and countless lay disciples, all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts. How can we save us?" Fu Honglie almost went mad with anger, and couldn't help but cry  Kicked on Yang Guotai.

    "My lord, then what should I do then?" Yang Guotai asked tremblingly.

    "Damn it, you are the one who caused the disaster, why are you here to ask me?" Fu Honglie cursed again, trying to calm himself down and figure out a countermeasure.  After thinking quickly for a moment, Fu Honglie said again: "Get up, tell me all about how you negotiated with those bald donkeys in Shaolin Temple, and don't miss anything!"

    "Yes, yes." Yang Guotai agreed repeatedly, got up and tried his best to recall, and described in detail the process of negotiating with Shaolin monks.

    "So, you didn't say why we chased and killed Fatty Lu? You didn't say why we went to the province to arrest people?" Fu Honglie asked.  Seeing Yang Guotai nodding his head quickly, Fu Honglie breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a sinister smile, "It's fine if you don't say anything, as long as you don't make it clear, there is still room for redemption."

    "My lord, what should we do?" Yang Guotai asked in surprise.

    Fu Honglie didn't answer, and asked someone to fetch a rope, threw it to Yang Guotai and said, "Tie yourself up, there's no way, this time I have to pretend to be Fu Qingtian again, and I have to detain you, a lawless general."  I went to Shaolin Temple to apologize.¡± (Remember this site website: www.hlnovel.com

    (ps: Thunderstorm at noon, two-in-one 7,000-word update, please friends support, recommend, collect, reward, pure wolf wants!)

    "Benefactor, it's time for breakfast." Two young monks put two large plates of vegetarian food in front of Fatty Lu and the three of them, and one of the young monks said respectfully: "Three benefactors, forgive me, our Shaolin Temple is Zen, and we only eat vegetarian food.  The food is simpler, please don¡¯t mind it.¡±

    The little monk is really not modest. Apart from a large bowl of porridge, there is only a plate of salted dried radish and a plate of boiled tofu with bean sprouts on the two large plates.  However, although the food is simple, it is extremely delicious for the hungry Fatty Lu, Xiao Erlang and Shang Wanyi.  At that moment, Fatty Lu first served Shang Wanyi a bowl of rice porridge, and then he did not give it to himself. Instead, he begged for a spoon to feed the seriously injured Xiao Erlang. Xiao Erlang was so moved that he burst into tears, "Master,  The little one is not hungry, you eat first oh the little one can eat by himself"

    "Don't be so wordy, you are hurting me by blocking bullets, and you let me eat first, you want your young master to strike me by lightning?" Fatty Lu was also straightforward, pointing out Xiao Erlang directly.  sinister intentions.

    After all, Fatty Lu insisted on feeding the rice porridge into Xiao Erlang's mouth, and Xiao Erlang ate it with tears in his eyes, tears rolling down his face.  However, Shang Wanyi turned a blind eye to the rare and moving scene that Fatty Lu created, and just ate porridge and vegetables. After eating a bowl of rice porridge, Shang Wanyi put down her chopsticks and snatched the porridge bowl from Fatty Lu  He and the spoon also fed Xiao Erlang porridge, and said coldly to Fatty Lu: "Hurry up and eat, the sound of my stomach growling is so loud that I can't even close my eyes."

    "Little girl, you still won't forgive anyone." Fatty Lu smiled, and quickly picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started to eat quickly.  Sanhai bowl of rice porridge was eaten, and when the hunger was relieved, the door of the Xiangfang room was pushed open again, and another young monk came in, saying that Master Zhitong, the abbot, had invited him.  Erlang told them to rest in the room, but he quickly put down his job and followed the young monk to the abbot's meditation room to pay his respects.

    The abbot¡¯s meditation room of Putian Shaolin Temple is located in the back garden. When passing through the back garden road, Fatty Lu saw many people in ordinary costumes practicing martial arts outside the back garden gate. He couldn¡¯t help but feel a little strange, and casually asked the little monk who led the way:  "Little master, are those people outside the lay disciples of your temple?"

    "Yes, they are all our lay disciples. There are more than two hundred people, more than the monks in the monastery." The young monk replied honestly.

    "In that case, why didn't they show up last night?" Fatty Lu asked curiously: "Even if the lay disciples didn't live in the temple, they should come and see the situation if there was such a big commotion last night?"

    Hearing Fatty Lu's words, the little monk's face turned pale, showing a panicked expression. Fatty Lu observed his words, and thanked Nan Shaolin for saving his life, and hurriedly said: "Little master, they must live on other hills.  You only come to Shaolin Temple at dawn in the morning, so you didn¡¯t have time to come last night, right?¡±

    "Yes, yes, the benefactor is right, that's it." The little monk heaved a sigh of relief, hurriedly led Fatty Lu to the door of a monk's room, opened the door and said, "Please come in, benefactor, my abbot is in the room."  waiting."

    Fatty Lu walked in, and saw two old monks and a middle-aged scribe sitting in the room. One of the two old monks was Zhiheng who treated Xiao Erlang's injuries last night, and the other older one must be the Putian Shaolin Temple  The abbot Zhitong elder.  And the middle-aged scribe was in his thirties, dressed as a Confucian scholar in a green robe and long gown, with regular facial features and a kind expression, which made people feel very close.  Fatty Lu didn't dare to be negligent, he hurriedly knelt down in front of Abbot Zhitong who was sitting in the middle, kowtowed and said: "Birth Lu Yifeng, thank you abbot for saving his life."

    "You're welcome, Master Lu, please get up." Abbot Zhitong also had a very kind attitude. He got up and helped Fatty Lu himself, and asked someone to move a chair for Fatty Lu.  Where, what do you do for a living? Where did you come from, where did you go? Why did those Guangdong officers and soldiers chase after you last night?"

    "This" Fatty Lu was a little hesitant, wondering if he should tell the truth to the abbot of Nan Shaolin¡ª¡ªDifferent from the honest North Shaolin, Nan Shaolin was a famous anti-Qing and Fuming base in history, and it was opposed to various anti-Qing forces in the south.  The Qing Fuming forces are inextricably linked, which has been mentioned in later generations of movies and TV shows. Fatty Lu is the running dog of the super traitor Wu Sangui, and Shang Wanyi is another super traitor.  Shang Kexi's biological daughter, without knowing the specific situation, of course Fatty Lu dared not casually and honestly reveal these sensitive identities.

    "Mr. Lu, judging from your accent, you should be from the central Yunnan area (central part of Yunnan), right?"How about it?  "

    "This little hero, this Lu Yifeng is the number one thief in the world, everyone can kill him!" Yang Guotai, who couldn't get Chen Jinnan's wrist off, took the opportunity and shouted: "Don't take him down, just hack him to death with one knife!  "

    "Hehe, hehehehe!" At this time, Fatty Lu suddenly laughed again, and suddenly asked loudly: "Dare you ask Master Abbot, are the people brought by Fu Honglie here now? Are there any?"  Hiding outside the temple?"

    "Why does the benefactor ask this?" Abbot Zhitong was taken aback, and quickly raised his hand to stop the shouting of the monks.

    "Vibrating the high hills, there are beautiful streams and mountains through the ages." Fatty Lu said lightly: "The gate faces the sea, and the three rivers flow together for thousands of years."

    "What did you say?" Fu Honglie, Yang Guotai and the others were confused, and said that Fatty Lu had already fainted from fright.

    Most of the Shaolin monks present stared wide-eyed, looking at Fatty Lu in disbelief.  Abbot Zhitong, Chen Jinnan and the others even changed their expressions drastically, and they were so nervous that they even stopped breathing.  After calming down a bit, Chen Jinnan asked in a deep voice, "How much do you know?"

    "Worship the sky for the father, worship the earth for the mother, the sun for the brother, the moon for the sister, and worship the fifth patriarch and the first ancestor Wan Yunlong as the whole gods of the Hong family." Fatty Lu asked fluently, "Burn six sticks of incense.  Yes, the people brought by the dog traitor Fu Honglie, are you sure to take them all?"

    Chen Jinnan tried his best to calm down, exchanged glances with Abbot Zhitong next to him, and suddenly flipped his right hand that was grabbing Yang Guotai's wrist.  The steel knife also fell to the ground.  Over there, Master Zhiheng also backhanded Fu Honglie's right hand, kicked him at the crook of his knee, kicked him to the knees, and held him down.

    "Father Heaven and Mother Earth, fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!" Fatty Lu shouted: "Let's do it together, and take down all the lackeys brought by the dog traitor Fu Honglie!"

    "Do as he said, take them all!" Chen Jinnan subconsciously yelled and added - the secrets of the Tiandihui, which was just established the night before yesterday, had been heard by Fu Honglie and others. Unless Chen Jinnan was stupid, of course he would not let these people go  left.

    "What are you doing? What are you doing?" Amidst the exclamation, the Southern Shaolin monks and lay disciples who were all over the courtyard started their hands together, and rushed towards Fu Honglie and his party who were caught off guard like wolves.  In an instant, the entire courtyard was filled with the sound of fists, feet and physical collisions, and there were scenes of Southern Shaolin monks capturing Fu Honglie's subordinates everywhere.

    "Hehe." With a sneer, Fatty Lu strode forward, walked up to Fu Honglie who was held down by Master Zhiheng himself, raised his fat fist, and punched Fu Honglie hard on the nose, hitting Fu Honglie all over his face  Blossoms, tears, snot and nosebleeds flow sideways.

    "Dog traitor! You probably never thought of it in your dreams!" Fatty Lu pointed at the panicked Fu Honglie, and shouted in a tone that was a hundred times more righteous than Fu Honglie's: "To tell you the truth, I am actually a righteous man who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty! The patience just now  , just waiting for the opportunity to catch you and your lackeys! Dog traitor, your death is coming!"

    Roaring, Fatty Lu flew up his fat leg again, and hit Fu Honglie's crotch soft flesh with his sloppy foot. He was an accomplice of the Qing Dynasty who brutally suppressed the San Francisco Rebellion in history and a traitor who killed countless anti-Qing soldiers of the Chinese nation.  The executioner Fu Honglie screamed like a pig, foaming from his mouth, and fainted on the spot!  It is extremely honorable to be the number one traitor in the Qing Dynasty, the traitor who has harmed countless Qing loyalists and countless loyal ministers and generals of the Qing Dynasty¡ª¡ªFatty Lu!  The first object of the scourge!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com

    (ps: 6,000 words in two, so that friends can read more smoothly)

    Fu Honglie deserved to be unlucky. Knowing that he had a good reputation and a good reputation, he entered the Shaolin Temple without paying too much attention. In history, the Putian Shaolin Temple in Fujian was destroyed by Kang Xiaomazi's dispatch of heavy troops, and the anti-Qing Fuming Temple in southeast China.  The Putian Shaolin Temple, the headquarter of the general headquarters, is also the Putian Shaolin Temple that formed and established the Tiandihui!

    The more unlucky thing is yet to come. Originally, if Fu Honglie entered the Putian Shaolin Temple for other reasons, then with the good reputation he has accumulated through hard work wearing a mask for a long time, then it is 90% impossible for him to encounter any accidents, even chivalry.  The monks of Putian Shaolin Temple warmly welcomed them.  But it is a pity that when Fu Honglie entered the Putian Shaolin Temple this time, his opponent was Fatty Lu, who was later hailed as the number one scourge of the Qing Dynasty by Xiao Mazi, a rabbit terminator.  Naturally, the fate of the cup and coffee table is doomed.

    "Dog traitor! Your time of death is coming!" Thinking of Fu Honglie's insidious appearance just now, Fatty Lu became furious. He lifted his fat thigh, which was thicker than a child's waist, and exerted as much strength as he was breastfeeding.  Looking at the lump of soft flesh under Fu Honglie's crotch, he kicked hard.  As a result, it was natural that Fu Honglie, who was kneeling on the ground by Master Zhiheng, could not avoid it. He was kicked straight by Fatty Lu with a fat leg, and screamed like a pig, with white foam in his mouth.  Before he could even utter a word, his head tilted and he passed out immediately.

    "Amitabha, Master Lu, you shot too hard." Elder Zhiheng checked Fu Honglie's injuries, and said with a wry smile: "His egg was broken by you, Master Lu.  Saving your life is both a matter of course.¡±

    "The more such traitors die, the better." Fatty Lu replied proudly.

    "It's not bad that Fu Honglie is a traitor." Chen Jinnan interjected, "But his reputation as an official is good. Regardless of whether he pretends or not, the people of Chaozhou have indeed received a lot of favor from him. Such an official is very rare"

    "But if the whole world is full of officials like this, do we still have any hope of fighting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty?" Fatty Lu interrupted Chen Jinnan, and said coldly: "If all the officials in the Tartar court are as human-faced as him, full of Yao Shun Yu  Tang full of male thieves and female prostitutes, who are good at buying people with hypocrisy and hypocrisy, do we still have hope of expelling the Manchus and recovering China? The more traitorous officials like Fu Honglie, the greater the damage to our great cause of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty! Enslaving the Manchu Manchus and bullying China  The greater the help of the people, the greater it will be!"

    Speaking of this, Fatty Lu moved closer to Chen Jinnan's ear, lowered his voice and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen Yonghua, Chen Yonghua, do you think this officer is right?"

    Being called by Fatty Lu's real name, Chen Jinnan's body shook first, and after a while he smiled and said to Fatty Lu: "Master Lu, you make me admire you more and more, and I am getting more and more confused, Master Lu.  , I think we should have a heart-to-heart talk. How about leaving this to someone else, and we go to the abbot's Zen room to sit for a while?"

    "The military adviser ordered, Lu dare not obey? But wait a moment, I have to do something else." Fatty Lu smiled, bent down to pick up the steel knife that Yang Guotai had been knocked down by Chen Jinnan earlier, and the tip of the knife pointed forward  Pointing to Yang Guotai who was held down by Chen Jinnan, Yang Guotai was so frightened that he struggled desperately and screamed like a pig, "LuMaster Lu, what do you want to do?"

    "Lord Lu, are you going to kill him just like that?" Chen Jinnan, who felt that Fatty Lu was too cruel, asked with a frown.

    "Leave him to report to the Tartar court, so that the Tartar court will mobilize heavy troops to burn Shaolin Temple and encircle and suppress the Tiandihui?" Fatty Lu replied blankly, stabbing the steel knife hard into Yang Guotai's heart,  End the life of this traitor and executioner who is also a mite Qing lackey and a traitor.

    When he pulled out the knife again, blood gushed from Yang Guotai's heart, covering Fatty Lu's body, but Fatty Lu didn't seem to notice it, turned his head and stabbed the knife into Fu Honglie's lower abdomen, who was already unconscious, and slashed hard to help  This big traitor ends the pain.  Only then did he throw away the steel knife, slapped the blood on his body and hands, and smiled at Chen Jinnan as if nothing happened: "Mr. Chen, it's okay, let's go into the Zen room."

    Of course, it's not that Chen Jinnan has never seen a murder, but it's an understatement for Fatty Lu to kill two people in a row. Of course, if Chen Jinnan knew that it was the first time for Fatty Lu to kill someone, he would be even more dumbfounded.  of.  But even so, Chen Jinnan couldn't help sighing, and said, "Master Lu is so decisive at such a young age, I admire, admire."

    Sighing, Chen Jinnan confessed to Master Zhiheng, "Brother Cai, I'm begging you here, you must not let a tartar running dog escape down the mountain." Master Zhiheng clasped his hands together and Chen Jinnan made an invitation gesture to Fatty Lu  , Invited Fatty Lu into the former abbot's meditation room, and followed him in, leaving more than 300 masters from Tiandihui.He said: "Mr. Chen, this is also one of the purposes of the lower officials to go to the capital of the Tartars to avoid taking shortcuts and detour to Guangdong and Fujian. To be honest, these things were told to the lower officials by the old traitor Wu Sangui. The old traitor Wu Sangui  I also want me to find a way to get in touch with you, make a covenant with you, and jointly fight against the Manchu Tartars."

    "Wu Sangui wants to form an alliance with our Tiandihui?" Chen Jinnan, Abbot Zhitong, and Master Zhiheng all exclaimed together, their faces full of disbelief.

    "It's not just an alliance with the Tiandihui, Wu Sangui's traitor wants to form an alliance with the Yanping Palace in Taiwan!" Fatty Lu didn't blush, and directly turned himself into the plenipotentiary representative of Wu Sangui to contact Zheng Jing in Taiwan.

    "Master Lu, are you joking?" Chen Jinnan frowned and said, "The old traitor Wu Sangui and our Yanping Palace have a deep hatred, and they are at odds with each other. Why did you suddenly think of forming an alliance with our Yanping Palace?"

    "Mr. Chen, you are an all-rounder in civil and military affairs." Fatty Lu said plausibly: "Over the years, you should have discovered it? The Manchu Tartar court has gradually accelerated the pace of weakening the strength of Wu Sangui, an old traitor, and is forcing Wu Sangui again.  The purpose of the old traitor disarming the army and forcing the old traitor Wu Sangui to cut his salary is basically obvious. Under such circumstances, the old traitor Wu Sangui dares to continue to confront the Yanping Palace  Do you want to go down? Do you dare not prepare yourself a way out?"

    "It's very lucky." Fatty Lu took out the "Mao Xia Policy Questions Collection" that Liu Xuanchu gave him from his arms, and said with a smile: "Although I'm not talented, I'm just a seventh-rank county magistrate the size of a sesame seed and mung bean, but I'm  My mentor is Mr. Liu Xuanchu, the number one counselor under Wu Sangui's traitor. I was recommended by his old man, so I got this job to contact your association. I want to take this opportunity to show my heart to you, Junshi Chen, so that we can join forces to fight against the Qing Dynasty in the future.  , to drive out the Tartars."

    Liu Xuanchu is quite famous, and Chen Yonghua, whose pseudonym is Chen Jinnan, is the number one counselor of the Yanping Palace, of course he has heard of his name, and of course he knows that Liu Xuanchu is very valuable in front of Wu Sangui, so it is not surprising to recommend a student to Wu Sangui, so  Although Chen Jinnan didn't fully believe Fatty Lu's words, he was also somewhat skeptical.  After making some calculations, Chen Jinnan asked again: "Lord Lu, since the traitor Wu Sangui sent you to contact us, what exactly does he want to do?"

    "Two purposes." Fatty Lu said without hesitation: "First, the old traitor Wu Sangui hopes to establish contact with the Tiandihui and the Yanping Palace so that they can communicate directly in case of any emergency in the future, so as to avoid misunderstandings.  Second, Wu Sangui's old traitor doesn't want to stop the establishment of the Tiandihui, nor does he want to destroy the Tiandihui, he just hopes that the Tiandihui will be merciful, not to take hostile actions against Wu Sangui's people, and try to avoid conflicts¡ªoh, especially  I hope that the heroes of the Tiandihui will show mercy to the officials appointed by Wu Sangui, how important these people are to Wu Sangui, I believe there is no need for an official to explain."

    Chen Jinnan groaned, he was very tempted by Fatty Lu's proposal, and the two masters Zhitong and Zhiheng were also quite tempted. After discussing with each other, Abbot Zhitong approached Chen Jinnan's ear and whispered: "Mr.  , the old monk thinks that we can agree to Wu Sangui's request. Our Tiandihui has just been established, and our strength is weak. It is really unfavorable to have a conflict with Wu Sangui who has already grasped our situation. Why don't we agree for now, and we can discuss it after the Tiandihui grows stronger?  .¡±

    Chen Jinnan still didn't speak, and after thinking for a long time, Chen Jinnan raised his head and stared at Fatty Lu and asked, "Lord Lu, what proof do you have for what you said? How can we make us believe you?"

    "This" Fatty Lu felt more and more embarrassed, but his face remained calm, his eyes moved a little, and Fatty Lu thought about it again, and hurriedly said: "Of course there is a way to prove it. In order to show the sincerity of cooperation, the old traitor Wu Sangui specially  Let the lower official bring a priceless treasure to Chen Junshi to prove the sincerity of the Pingxi Palace, and at the same time prove that the lower official's words are true and come from the heart."

    "Priceless treasure?" Chen Jinnan smiled, and said, "Wu Sangui, the old traitor, does he underestimate Chen, Chen is not a money-grubbing person."

    "Mr. Chen, of course you are not a greedy person." Fatty Lu said with a smile: "But I can guarantee that, after Master Chen knows what this priceless treasure is, not only will he be tempted, but he will also be very grateful to you.  .Even Prince Yanping, who is in Taiwan, must be tempted and overjoyed."

    "Oh, what exactly is that?" Chen Jinnan also became interested.

    "A new type of gunpowder formula!" Fatty Lu said word by word: "The new type of gunpowder formula developed by the old traitor Wu Sangui spent countless manpower and material resources.  Things, Master Chen and Prince Yanping should be tempted, right?" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com

    "Ouch, I'm exhausted." Fatty Lu didn't return to the incense room provided by Shaolin Temple for the three of us until the evening. When he entered the door, he saw that Xiao Erlang was fast asleep on the bed, and the wound had stopped bleeding. He was already exhausted.  Exhausted, Fatty Lu immediately half-lyed on the chair, tilted his head, stretched his legs, and lay on the chair like a pile of mud or a dead pig, moaning weakly, "I'm exhausted, I'm exhausted!"  , I'm dying of thirst, my throat is about to smoke, and my head is about to explode, I'm just too tired."

    Moaning, Fatty Lu habitually glanced at Shang Wanyan who was sitting in the corner of the incense room out of the corner of his eye, but saw that Shang Wanyan was expressionless, standing there motionless, as if he hadn't heard Fatty Lu's dying moans, and turned a deaf ear.  Turn a blind eye.  Fatty Lu was angry, and couldn't help asking: "Little Princess, I'm so tired that I can't even move, and I'm so thirsty that my throat is about to smoke, can't you pour me a cup of tea?"

    "Want to drink tea? Can't pour it yourself?" Shang Wanyan finally spoke, still in her usual cold tone.

    "But I'm so tired that I can't even lift my hands, so can't you pour me a glass?" Fatty Lu asked cheekily.

    "Since you are so tired that you can't even lift your hands, how can you still walk back? You still have the strength to hum when you come back?" Shang Wanyan half-closed her big eyes, glanced sideways at Fatty Lu, and said slowly: "  Of course, if you were carried back and carried back by someone, then I can consider taking care of you. But now you have hands and feet, and you have the strength to walk and speak, so I'm sorry."

    "Damn girl, what a heartless thing." Fatty Lu cursed angrily¡ªof course it was in his stomach, but he finally stood up helplessly, went to the table and poured himself a bowl of herbal tea to drink.  After drinking three bowls, my throat felt better, and my brain, which was severely dehydrated, also felt a little better.  Sitting at the side weakly and resting for a long time, Fatty Lu asked Shang Wanyi casually: "Little princess, you were in the incense room just now, did you hear any movement outside?"

    "So many people are arguing like that, can I not hear it?" Shang Wanyan asked back.

    "Then why don't you ask what happened outside?" Fatty Lu asked suspiciously: "The masters who were guarding outside just now said that you have neither gone out nor spoken to them. Even if you are thin-skinned  I'm sorry to talk to them, now that I'm back, why don't you ask what happened outside?"

    "Why do I need to know what happened outside?" Shang Wanyan continued to ask coldly.

    Faced with this answer, Fatty Lu was tongue-tied, and after a while he smiled wryly and said: "Little Princess, don't be angry if you say something presumptuous. How did your head grow? There's so much commotion outside, you're beating and killing,  You don't have the slightest curiosity or worry? Are you not afraid of danger?"

    "First, I'm never interested in things that have nothing to do with me." Shang Wanyan's expression was still extremely cold, "Second, so what if I encounter danger? I am a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken.  If he can¡¯t fight back, he can¡¯t escape, so instead of wasting time worrying about fear, it¡¯s better to leave him alone, at worst, he¡¯ll die.¡±

    "You really can take it easy." Fatty Lu smiled wryly, helpless with Shang Wanyi's indifferent personality.  After a little calculation, Fatty Lu said again: "Forget it, let me tell you something, the situation outside is indeed a bit bad, and the people of Shaolin Temple have already known your true identity, Little Princess. But don't worry, I will take care of you."  Even if I risk my life, I will definitely protect you and won't let you get hurt in the slightest."

    "Yes." Shang Wanyan answered more simply this time.

    The little girl was still so calm, Fatty Lu was completely speechless, so he had to shut his mouth obediently and stop wasting saliva.  After a while.  Shang Wanyan suddenly said again: "Two things, I want to go to the Daxiong Palace to offer incense to the Buddha, and I want to rest in an incense room."

    "That's right, Xiao Erlang is injured, and we will disturb his rest if we live with him." Fatty Lu nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said stupidly: "I'm going to ask Master Zhiheng to give us another room."  , I will live with you in a new room, leaving Xiao Erlang here to rest alone."

    Shang Wanyan finally blushed, gave Fatty Lu a vicious look, and cursed in a low voice: "Shameless!"

    Fatty Lu laughed, went out and negotiated with the monks of Shaolin Temple, then came back and said with a smile: "Young princess, it's okay, the masters agreed to lend us the incense room next door, and agreed  In order to let you take the Daxiong Palace to offer incense."

    Shang Wanyan stood up without saying a word and left the room. When passing by Fatty Lu, Shang Wanyan suddenly raised her little foot and stomped on Fatty Lu's fat instep, which caused Fatty Lu so much pain.I have only eaten two vegetarian meals, and my mouth is almost fading out, and I want to have a good meal of big fish and meat.  "

    "Lord Lu, about this." Fang De hurriedly grabbed his son, and begged, "Let us husband and wife think about it for another night? Anyway, you will definitely not leave Shaolin Temple today. How about we give you an answer tomorrow?"

    Fatty Lu smiled and nodded in agreement.  Over there, Chen Jinnan first figured out the ins and outs of the matter, then stood up and said with a smile: "Think about Fang Daxia and Miao Nvxia, I think Mr. Lu is a good intention. Mr. Lu is a scholar of heaven and man, and Shiyu followed him  You will definitely benefit a lot from being by my side, at least much better than learning from me. Alas, Shiyu and I can only learn some martial arts at most, but on the battlefield of life and death with thousands of troops, no matter how high the martial arts are, you can  It doesn't do much good."

    "Mr. Chen's advice is right, our husband and wife will seriously consider it." Fang De nodded and solemnly agreed.

    "Well, you can think about it tonight." Chen Jinnan cupped his hands and said, "Master Lu, I have to deal with the corpses of Fu Honglie and others. I can't accompany you for today's dinner. Wait until tomorrow, and Chen will come again tomorrow."  Ask you a lot."

    "Dispose of Fu Honglie's body?" Fatty Lu suddenly had an idea, and said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Chen, I heard in Quanzhou that the current admiral of the Fujian Navy is the traitor Shi Lang who betrayed Lord Yanping. Fu Honglie and his gang of traitors  Instead of burying his dead body for nothing, how about using it to let that traitor Shi Lang take the blame?"

    "This is a good idea, what should I do?" Chen Jinnan asked happily.

    "Let me think about it." Fatty Lu was about to start his immoral fat head, but he suddenly saw that it was completely dark outside the room, so he jumped up and rushed out, "No, it's already so late! This matter  Take it easy, I forgot about someone, and with that little girl's stubborn temper, she must still be kneeling in the Daxiong Palace waiting for me to pick her up!"

 Chapter 39: A Disaster From Heaven (Part 1)

    ?

    On October 28th, the sixth year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Mu Tianyan, the prefect of Xinghua Prefecture (Putian) in Fujian Province, woke up and felt that something would happen today, and it would definitely not be a good thing, let alone a trivial one, because  From the moment he woke up, the right eyelid of Mu Zhifu, who had a strong sixth sense, began to jump non-stop.  The left eye jumps for money, the right eye jumps for disaster, Mu Tianyan and the magistrate firmly believe in this statement.

    Mu Tianyan's worry and nervousness were not for no reason. Just yesterday afternoon, Mu Tianyan suddenly received a report from the people, saying that a large number of corpses were found at the junction of Putian and Fengting, lying everywhere, roughly  It is estimated that there are at least hundreds of them.  What's more terrible is that the places where these corpses appeared were almost impossible to die, but they appeared in Putian within two miles from the border of Quanzhou prefecture¡ªyou said that if this appeared in Quanzhou prefecture within two miles from the border of Putian prefecture  How good would that be for our well-known prefect Mu Tianyan?

    More than one hundred lives are not a joke, no matter how much you call it unlucky, Mu Tianyan had no choice but to send Cheng Qipeng, the magistrate of Putian County, and Zhang An, the general manager of Qian, to investigate the situation at the murder scene.  It's too far away, and it hasn't returned yet.  But still the same sentence, because the right eyelid kept twitching, Mu Tianyan, the magistrate always felt that this matter must not be that simple, and something big must happen.  So much so that when she got up and went to the government office to handle official business, Mu Tianyan couldn't wait to ask Wu Ying, the general of Xinghua, who came to discuss the matter: "General Wu, how is it? Did you get any reward for the Fengting murder case yesterday?"

    "Not so fast." Wu Ying replied casually: "Fengting is sixty or seventy miles away from Fucheng, and the road is not easy to walk at night. Unless it is a fast horse back and forth, there may be news in one night."

    "Really?" Mu Zhifu was a little regretful, and regretted, "Why didn't I explain something yesterday, let Mr. Cheng and the others go to the scene to investigate the situation, and report back to us right away? It's all right now, with Cheng Qipeng's procrastination, after today  It¡¯s great to have a presentation inside.¡±

    "Master Futai, don't worry, it's probably not a big deal." Wu Ying and Mu Tianyan got along fairly well. Seeing Mu Tianyan was worried, Wu Ying couldn't help comforting him: "More than a hundred lives,  It¡¯s not small, but it¡¯s not too big to go there. Since the 17th year of Shunzhi when the border was moved to the forbidden sea, in our Xinghua Prefecture alone, didn¡¯t we kill thousands of people who violated the border? There is also Zheng Ni from Taiwan.  , That year, hundreds of people were killed without harassing the coastal areas? Murder cases have become an old habit! In my opinion, these people are probably the result of the unlucky caravan being robbed by bandits, or they were landed in Taiwan.  Zheng Ni's army has robbed him."

    "It's really that simple." Mu Tianyan sighed, pointed to her right eyelid, and said with a mournful face, "Did you see that? My right eyelid kept twitching. The last time I did it in the morning, I jumped in the afternoon.  Father died right away, causing me, Ding You, to miss three years of examinations."

    "Master Futai is overthinking." Wu Ying laughed, and said with a grin: "My right eyelid often twitches, what happened?"

    "My lord, my lord, something is wrong!" There was a slap in the face, and then, the county magistrate Cheng Qipeng and Zhang An, the county magistrate who was sent by Mu Tianyan to investigate the situation yesterday evening, rushed in, covered in bruises.  Dust covered his face with sweat, he knelt down in front of Mu Tianyan as soon as he entered the door, and wailed loudly, "My lord, it's not good, something serious has happened! I went to the scene of the murder to see those who died were all Ping Nan.  The people of the palace!"

    "What's even worse is that I heard that this team was to escort Xiao Gege from Pingnan Palace to Beijing to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager Lafayette, and Xiao Gege's whereabouts are missing!"

    "What?" The teacup in Mu Tianyan's hand fell to the ground with a slam, and she was so distraught that she even forgot how to stand up.

    "What? People from the Pingnan Prince's Mansion?!" Wu Ying, the general soldier of Xinghua, who was still careless just now, was also dumbfounded, and there was such a scene in front of him - his own red cap, and Mu Tianyan's red cap  , Cheng Qipeng, and Zhang An's red tops all grew wings, and flew up one by one, flying farther and farther

    "Idiot!" Wu Ying jumped three feet high, pointed at Zhang An and roared: "When something like this happens, you are in a hurry to come back and report it to the authorities? Why don't you move all those corpses to the boundary of Quanzhou Prefecture overnight?  ¡ª¡ªDo you usually do less of this kind of thing?¡±

    "The end general also thought so at the beginning." Zhang An replied with a sad face: "But the Quanzhou government also received news that the county magistrate of Hui'an sent a large group of yamen servants to monitor us under the pretext of helping us investigate the case, just to guard against us.  Come on this trick! Now that Huian is under martial law, many troops have been deployed to guard the border of the mansion under the pretext of arresting the murderer. It is clear that they want to tell the court and the prince that Pingnan Wang Xiaogege came out of Putian.  thing!"

    "Damn, these cunning bastards!" Wu Ying almost cried.

    &nb??Approach with caution.

    "Report¡ª¡ª!" Said Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrived.  Just at this time, a servant came in a hurry and said to Mu Tianyan: "My lord, Jingnan Wang Shizi learned that Pingnan Wang Gege was attacked in Xinghua Mansion, and personally led Fujian Governor Zu Zepu  Lord Zu, Governor Liu Bingzheng, Lord Liu, Commander-in-Chief Kong Yuanzhang Kong Junmen, and Navy Admiral Shi Langshi Junmen have come together, and they will be outside the North City Gate immediately, please come and greet Master Futai!"

    "What a big battle!" Mu Tianyan gasped, and said in her heart: "It's too bad, so many big officials came in one breath, this time someone will probably be in bad luck, I hope it won't be me.  "

    Muttering, the eyelids of Mu Zhifu's left and right eyes jumped together.

    Note: Mu Tianyan's appearance in this book is indeed a coincidence, and it is definitely not a pure wolf who is lazy and pulls the tricks.  The magistrate of the county moved to Tongzhi in Nanning Prefecture, Guangxi. In the sixth year of Emperor Kangxi, the holy ancestor Ren moved to the prefect of Xinghua Prefecture in Fujian."

    (ps: There are two updates today, the first one will be delivered, and the second one will be delivered at night, but it should not be at midnight. It will be on the new book list soon. Let's update it when it is coded.)

    As the eldest son and eldest son of Geng Jimao, the former King of Jingnan in the Qing Dynasty, and the unshakable number one candidate for the next King of Jingnan, Geng Jingzhong had to be furious and hysterical after receiving the letter from Mu Tianyan Feige, the prefect of Xinghua.  Geng Jimao was dying of illness, and he was about to inherit the throne and dominate one side. Such a big accident happened in Dingfan, and the person who had the accident was his own sister's sister-in-law, Shang Wanyi!  After being slapped in the face by Chi Guoguo, one can imagine Geng Jingzhong's anger and shame!

    In a rage, Geng Jingzhong summoned Fujian Governor Zu Zepu, Fujian Governor Liu Bingzheng, Fujian Commander-in-Chief Kong Yuanzhang, Fujian Navy Admiral Shi Lang and other important officials as soon as he received the news.  The brigade of cavalry rushed to Xinghua Mansion overnight, preparing to personally direct the investigation of the case, to show some color to the bastards who dared to slap themselves in the face, and let them know whether this Fujian is Geng or Aixinjueluo!

    Without stopping, Geng Jingzhong and his party, who were all cavalry, walked more than 230 miles from Fuzhou to Putian in less than a day and a night, and they almost rushed to the city of Xinghua Fucheng like a whirlwind.  Mu Tianyan, the prefect of Xinghua, and Wu Ying, the commander-in-chief of Xinghua, did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly let the north gate of Xinghua clear the road and martial law, and led a large group of local officials to welcome them out of the city gate¡ªno way, this time  Each of them is a genuine immediate boss, with current officials and current management.

    "Get up." Geng Jingzhong is much more educated than his brother-in-law Shang Zhixin. Although he was already furious, when Mu Tianyan and other Xinghua officials kowtowed in front of the horses and pleaded guilty, Geng Jingzhong still didn't yell like his brother-in-law.  Or just whip the whip, just force Mu Tianyan and the others to get up first, and then ask: "How's the situation? Have you found Xiao Gege in Pingnan Palace? Has the murderer been found?"

    "Congratulations to my son, congratulations to my son, little Gege has been found, he is safe and sound, but he was a little frightened, and he is temporarily settled in the magistrate's yamen." Mu Tianyan was very shrewd, and quickly threw out a good news to calm him down.  Geng Jingzhong was furious, and said again: "As for the murderer, although the lower ranks have not found out who did it, they have also found key clues."

    "Good job." Geng Jingzhong's anger really subsided a little, and he shouted with a whip: "Go forward and lead me to see Xiao Gege. Talk about the case as you go, and don't hide anything."

    "Tie!" Mu Tianyan agreed with Daqian, and hurried to lead Geng Jingzhong's horse in person, while walking, he introduced the history and circumstances of the case to Geng Jingzhong in detail.  Over there, Wu Ying and others did not dare to be negligent, they flocked to Zu Zepu, Liu Bingzheng, Kong Yuanzhang and other big officials, either leading the horses or falling into the stirrups, flattering and flattering.

    During this period, Shi Lang, the admiral of the Fujian Navy, rarely had to ask Wu Ying, "General Wu, could it be that Taiwan's Zheng Ni's army did this? The navy you deployed on Meizhou Island recently found Taiwan's Zheng Ni's fleet.  Change?"

    "Go back to Shijun Gate, no." Wu Ying shook her head, and replied respectfully: "Recently, the defenders of Meizhou Island have not reported any changes in Zheng Nishui's division, and the accident occurred outside the boundary of the Forbidden Sea.  The coastline is very far away, and the possibility of Master Zheng Nishui's attack is very small."

    "Useless stuff!" Shi Lang glared at Wu Ying, secretly resenting that this subordinate would not frame him - Shi Lang, whose father and elder brother both died at the hands of Zheng Chenggong, hoped that this matter was done by the Taiwan army, if so  , then Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi said that he would retaliate against the Taiwan army, and to attack Taiwan, the navy must be used. Under the recruitment of troops, horses, ships and guns, the status of Shi Lang, the admiral of the Fujian navy, naturally rose with the tide.

    His subordinates were so ignorant of the fun, so in desperation, Shi Lang had no choice but to urge his horse to catch up with Geng Jingzhong, and listened to Mu Tianyan's case report with Geng Jingzhong, Zu Zepu and others, hoping to find clues about the Taiwanese army's move.  And when Mu Tianyan talked about Fatty Lu's situation and identity, Shi Lang suddenly became interested and interrupted: "Wait, this is wrong, this Lu Yifeng, as the new county magistrate of Qujing, even if he enters according to the rules,  Your Majesty sees, it should take the shortcut of Guizhou, Hunan, the Yangtze River, and the canal waterway, why would you want to take a detour to Guangdong? Is there something wrong with Lu Yifeng?"

    "Shi Junmen, it's their freedom to take the road they like, what's the problem?" Geng Jingzhong rolled his eyes unexpectedly, and said, "Besides, is the road in Guizhou peaceful? There are so many young people who don't accept Wang Hua on the road.  Yi chieftain, maybe this Lu Yifeng is worried about this, so he detours to Guangdong."

    "That's right, it's his business that Lu Yifeng is willing to go that way, so there's no need to make a fuss." Zu Zepu also said carelessly: "If?, that¡¯s why Geng Jingzhong and his party were invited to go to the back hall in a mighty way¡ª¡ªFatty Lu, who will be interrogated in the sixth hall!

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The story was divided into two parts. When Geng Jingzhong and others were still talking to Shang Wanyi in the garden, Fatty Lu and Xiao Erlang had already been taken to the back hall of the yamen by the yamen servants of Xinghua Mansion, although the yamen servants did not say why  I brought Fatty Lu here, but when I saw Xiao Erlang who was injured and was also carried to the scene, there were additional seats and seats in the hall, and the book office busy preparing for the statement, the bold and careful Fatty Lu immediately understood  ¡ª¡ªThe main show is about to begin!

    "Erlang, are you okay?" Fatty Lu, who was still pretending to be stupid, dared not speak in front of the yamen servant, and could only quietly ask about Xiao Erlang's situation with his winks.

    "Master, I'm fine." Xiao Erlang understood, nodded slightly and answered with his eyes.

    "Ready, cooperate well, don't make mistakes." Fatty Lu made another gesture quietly.

    "Understood, please rest assured, young master." Xiao Erlang, who had already checked his statement with Fatty Lu, replied with a gesture.

    "Very good." Fatty Lu felt relieved a little, and said in his heart, "Come on, others started to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty by accumulating strength, and I started to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty by framing the Tartar Zhongliang, and put those famous and capable people in history  The traitors and traitors and the famous Tartar generals killed all the hardcore lackeys, and they were wiped out!

    "The prince of Jingnan has arrived¡ª¡ª!"

    Accompanied by a long shout from the officials of Xing'an Prefecture, a large group of high-ranking officials of the Qing court dressed in first-rank and second-rank official uniforms filed in. The first one was nearly forty years old, with a Chinese character face and black skin, quite majestic.  The eldest grandson of the traitor Geng Zhongming, the eldest son of Geng Jimao, and the current heir of the Jingnan Prince of the Qing Dynasty, Geng Jingzhong, the little traitor!  Afterwards, there were the first-rank governor of Fujian and the ancestor of the Ministry of War Ze Puzu Butang;  , the smallest official position is also Mutianyan Mufutai from the fourth rank!

    Compared with these famous big shots, Lu Yifeng, Fatty Lu, who is still kneeling in the middle of the back hall while wearing official seventh-rank official uniforms, is really wretched and shabby, no matter in terms of the rank of the official uniforms or in terms of appearance and dignity  Poor.  Even after being dragged by Geng Jingzhong to sit on the right side of the center, Shang Wanyan couldn¡¯t help but feel secretly happy in her heart, ¡°You fat man also has this kind of time? Speaking of which, it seems that this is the first time you fat man  Kneel down to the old lady, let's practice first."

    "Master Lu, yesterday a doctor gave you the medicine to calm the nerves and open the collaterals, are you better now?" Mu Tianyan was afraid that Fatty Lu would still go crazy and talk crazy like yesterday, so she leaned forward and asked in a low voice.

    Fatty Lu didn't answer, but looked pitifully at Mu Tianyan, and then at the first and second rank officials present, subconsciously wilting, and the pitiful and fearful expression on his face became more intense.  That terrified and pitiful appearance made even Shang Wanyan a little puzzled, "Is this fat man really frightened? When he was in front of my father last time, he didn't seem so timid and wretched?"

    "Lord Lu, did you hear what I said?" Seeing that Fatty Lu didn't speak, Mu Tianyan was unavoidably anxious, and couldn't help asking again, "Are you feeling better now?"

    Fortunately, after hesitating for a while, Fatty Lu finally nodded slightly.  Mu Tianyan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pointed to the senior officials present and said, "Master Lu, you don't have to be afraid. These gentlemen are all here to ask about what happened in Fengting that night. Let me introduce you, this  It's Prince Jingnan's son, and this is Lord Zu, Governor of Fujian"

    After finally introducing Fatty Lu to the big officials present one by one, Mu Tianyan was about to continue talking, but the tears rolled down Fatty Lu's face, and he kowtowed and said, "Lu Yifeng, the humble magistrate of Qujing County, kowtows to King Jingnan  My lord, I greet all my lords. My lord, my lords, I finally saw you, I thought that there was no way to see you again"

    As he said that, Fatty Lu started to cry, and Geng Jingzhong, who was sitting high in the middle, was angry and funny, turned to Shang Wanyan and said, "Sister Shi, it was this useless big fat man who turned you on that night.  rescued?"

    "Only because of this fat man?" Shang Wanyan snorted unconscionably, and said, "It was the four servants around him who rescued me from the thieves. Some of his servants are good at martial arts,  And loyal, he pushed him and me onto the horse and ran away. The fat man was so frightened that he couldn't even stand on his legs. And this servant named Erlang, although he didn't know martial arts, was very loyal. The bullet in the back was for me  Injured by blocking the gun with this fat man. ¡ª¡ªThis fat man is useless at all!"

    "Damn girl, you are so ungrateful. I just told you to speak of me as a coward, but I didn't tell you to demote me like this!" Fatty Lu was angry, but he didn't dare to show it.

    "Let me just say, how does this kid have such guts?" Geng Jingzhong snorted confidently, and the other officials next to him nodded in agreement.

    "Lu Yifeng, let me ask you." Shi Lang asked impatiently: "On the night of October 26th in Fengting, how did you encounter the ambush? Who are the enemies? The more detailed the better."

    "Returning to my lord, that night was like this. When our team stopped to eat, I didn't eat with the team because of my poor appetite. A few servants didn't eat because they were waiting for me" Fatty Lu knew that that day  In the chaotic situation at night, someone in Li Tianzhi's team must be able to escape from the battlefield by taking advantage of the chaos, so I didn't dare to tell lies in this link, but I tried my best to introduce the poisoning situation of the team that night.  In the end, Fatty Lu wiped his tears and said: "It's also fortunate that the good people in the humble job have good rewards, and they kindly took in a few buskers who were at the end of their lives.  Buy time for us, stay behind, now life or death is unknown"

    Having said that, Fatty Lu covered his face shamelessly and burst into tears again, as if thinking of the dangerous situation that night, he was so frightened that he had to cry bitterly to relieve his psychological pressure.Then he dared not speak again.  Fatty Lu even hurriedly pressed his forehead to the ground, pretending to be terrified.

    "My lord, what did the general do wrong?" Shi Lang cried, "Why did you arrest the general? What did the general do wrong?"

    "You know what you have done." Geng Jingzhong said viciously: "Unexpectedly, you not only knew about Zheng Ni in Taiwan, but also secretly investigated the privacy of the royal family! If these are true, Shi Junmen, you wait to be wiped out."  Let's go to the Nine Clans!"

    "I'm wronged¡ª¡ª!" Shi Lang almost fainted from fright, and yelled frantically: "You don't do anything, this must be a conspiracy.  What was written on it?!"

    "Shi Junmen, you'd better not know what's on it." Liu Bingzheng said kindly, "If you were really wronged, and this was Zheng Ni's trick, then you still have hope of survival!  If you know these things, even if you are really wronged, no one can save you."

    "What? Is it so serious?" Shi Lang, the traitor and running dog of the mite Qing, was dumbfounded, completely at a loss.

    "Boy, do you know how powerful I am?" Fatty Lu secretly laughed in his heart, and said to himself: "When this letter is delivered to the capital, whether it's in the hands of Oboi or Kangxi Xiaomazi, you're doomed too."  Can't escape being executed by Ling Chi! Kangxi Xiao Mazi secretly trained the young bodyguards to deal with Obai. Is such a secret a joke? Haha, I was smart enough to pretend from the beginning to the end that it had nothing to do with this matter. Xiao Mazi and Xiao Mazi  Even if Aobai seeks trouble, he can't find Lao Tzu!"

    "How did things develop like this?" Shang Wanyan was extremely puzzled, "The fat man just wants to get rid of Shaolin Temple's ties, and also wants to get revenge on Kong Sizhen, the slut who seduced him and designed him, and also wants Fu Honglie to repeat  The last smuggling charge? How did it become like this? It seems that smuggling shouldn¡¯t be such a big crime, right? Is this a coincidence? Or did this fat man deliberately design it?¡±

    Of course, when Shang Wanyan quietly asked Fatty Lu about this matter afterwards, Fatty Lu of course shouted out his grievances, "I'm wronged, I really didn't know that things would turn out like this! A loyal, honest, pure and reliable Daqing like me  Man, he has no grievances with Shi Junmen, why did you frame him? This is a coincidence, this is a sesame seed that fell into the eye of a needle, it couldn¡¯t be more coincidental!¡± (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com  com

    "Shi Lang really betrayed our Qing Dynasty again and took refuge in Taiwan's Zheng Ni again? Is it possible?"

    When Zu Zepu and Liu Bingzheng saw the letter found from Fu Honglie's body, they complained so much that they regretted it so badly that their guts almost turned green.  head.  Geng Jingzhong, the eldest son of King Jingnan, was different, he was so happy as if he had found a treasure!  So much so that Geng Jingzhong didn't even have time to continue investigating the details of the attack on Shang Wanyi's team. Regardless of the tiredness of the journey, he pushed the mission to Zu Zepu and Liu Bingzheng, and rushed back to Fuzhou with Shi Lang on the same day, and then couldn't wait  He called his father's current King of Jingnan, Geng Jimao, into the secret room, and handed this letter to his father.

    But after reading the letter, Geng Jimao asked calmly: "Is the content of this letter true? Could this be Taiwan's Zheng Ni's countermeasures? You just rely on such a letter without asking  Xin arrested Shi Lang, Admiral of the Fujian Navy, isn't it too reckless?"

    "Father, it doesn't matter if my son thinks it's a conspiracy or not." Geng Jingzhong said with a sinister smile, "Even if Shi Lang was wrongly arrested, it doesn't matter much.  For the sake of caution, Governor Zu Zepu and Governor Liu Bingzheng also agreed to this point, and the court will have nothing to blame in the future. After all, the court has never been so reassuring about Shi Lang, and he holds the Fujian Navy in his hands.  He caught him, let him run away, or led the navy to rebel, no one can bear the responsibility."

    "That's the reason. Our Geng family, as the vassal princes of Fujian, can temporarily detain Shi Lang without an order when Shi Lang is suspected of treason and collaborating with the enemy." Geng Jimao nodded, agreeing with his son's prompt decision, and asked  He said: "Then how do you plan to prove the authenticity of the contents of this letter? Also, how reliable do you think the emperor's secret training of young guards to capture Oboi is mentioned in this letter?"

    "Father, my son thinks it's very reliable!" Geng Jingzhong said firmly: "I don't know if my father has noticed, but the traitor Chen Yonghua also mentioned the matter of the former emperor Shunzhi becoming a monk? What a confidential matter, father  Wang, you all accidentally learned about this matter from the suicide note of Wu Liangfu, the former chief eunuch who was suppressed by the court, but this matter was directly mentioned in this letter.  Do you know it well?"

    "You mean to say that since the person who wrote the letter knew about the late emperor's secret renunciation, it means that he knows the secrets of the court like the back of his hand, and it also proves that the current emperor's secret training of young guards to deal with Oboi is absolutely absolute.  Is it true?" Geng Jimao asked thoughtfully.

    "That's right, that's exactly what my boy meant." Geng Jingzhong nodded, and then said: "And in this letter, it was even mentioned that the former Emperor Shunzhi's dharma name after he became a monk was Xingchi.  Knowing the secret! Doesn¡¯t this mean that the writer of the letter has a stronger intelligence force than you, father, in the court?¡±

    "It makes sense." Geng Jimao nodded slowly, and said firmly: "Whether this letter was used by Zheng Ni from Taiwan to frame Shi Lang may not be sure, but the contents of this letter are likely to be true.  At least part of it is true! Anyway, it doesn¡¯t matter whether Shi Lang was wronged or not now, what matters is whether the matter mentioned in this letter is true or not!¡±

    "Then Father, who should we dedicate this letter to?" Geng Jingzhong asked darkly: "To Ao Zhongtang? Or to Long Live Today?"

    Geng Jimao stopped talking. After careful calculation and weighing for a long time, Geng Jimao said slowly: "Who do you think we should dedicate this letter to?"

    "The child is also very difficult." Geng Jingzhong said rather distressed: "Dedicated to the current emperor, we can get benefits such as military pay, food and official positions from the emperor, and we can also gain the absolute trust and reuse of the emperor. Dedicated  To Prime Minister Ao, with the current power and status of Prime Minister Ao, we should be able to obtain all the benefits we have obtained from the emperor, and we can also gain the absolute trust of Prime Minister Ao¡ªbut the emperor is absolutely invincible.  Prime Minister Ao's plan is bound to fail!"

    "Speaking deeply, this letter is tantamount to a contract of sale for our Jingnan Prince's Mansion." Geng Jingzhong continued: "No matter who we dedicate it to, it is tantamount to declaring our allegiance to him.  Rong, everything is damaged! Because this matter is too big, the child dare not make decisions on his own, so he immediately sent the letter back, asking Father to make a decision."

    "Dedicated to the emperor!" Geng Jimao said firmly.

    "Dedicated to the emperor?" Geng Jingzhong didn't expect his father to do this.??These two old dogs took the initiative to ask for withdrawal of the feudal clan. Although the two old dogs did not agree, he also failed to make such a feat for me.  But the grandson thought his loyalty was commendable, so he praised him once in front of his grandmother.  "

    "This Lu Yifeng is not simple." Xiaozhuang smiled and said: "Last time Kong Sizhen also mentioned him to me in a letter, saying that he was the first person who was captured by Kong Sizhen but not killed;  Admonishing Shang Kexi and Wu Sangui to withdraw their vassals, Shang Kexi and Wu Sangui did not kill him; Fu Honglie wanted to kill him, but he himself died inexplicably. Three or four times in a row, if this Lu Yifeng was not Fu Daming  If you are big, you must be an extraordinary slave."

    "So, grandson is also a little interested in this Lu Yifeng." Xiao Mazi said with a smile: "When he arrives in the capital, grandson must meet him in person. If grandma is interested, grandson can also arrange for him  Meet grandma once."

    "Okay, grandma wants to see what this blessed and fateful servant looks like." Xiaozhuang smiled and agreed, but he was thinking in his heart, "This Lu Yifeng can be said to be the key to Shi Lang's matter.  The happy daughter testified for him, proving that he did not lie. But"

    "Grandson, arrange one more thing." Thinking of this, Xiao Zhuang ordered again: "Ask Kong Sizhen to arrange more people, and find out the eighteen generations of Lu Yifeng's ancestors, and see what kind of person he is.  , mainly with whom.¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Mazi had a secret discussion, and Shi Lang was doomed to a tragic fate. On November 24th, the sixth year of Qingkang Mazi, he was imprisoned for nearly a month and he still hasn't figured out what crime he committed.  Shi Lang was taken to the execution ground. Geng Jimao and his son, together with Fujian Governor Zu Zepu and Fujian Governor Liu Bingzheng, asked for Wang Ming's flag, announcing that Shi Lang had colluded with Taiwan's Zheng Jing in attempting to rebel, selling arms, embezzling military pay, etc. The evidence was conclusive and heinous!  At the same time, because of Shi Lang's special status and many party members, Jingnan Wang Geng Jimao and Fujian local officials decided to kill Shi Lang first and then play, and ordered Shi Lang to be cut in half!

    After hearing most of these non-existent crimes, Shi Lang wanted to cry but had no choice but to cry, and could only cry up to the sky with tears in his eyes, "I am wronged¡ª¡ª! I, Shi Lang, what crime did I commit? Why did God give me such a crime?"  An ending¡ª?"

    It's useless to cry for grievances. Geng Jimao, Zu Zepu and the others, who had received a tacit consent from a certain Xiao Mazi, couldn't wait to order the executioner to push Shi Lang into the guillotine. When the knife went down, blood spattered, and Shi Lang was cut in two!  It was also at this moment that Shi Lang, who was struggling to survive, came to his senses, looked up to the sky again, and wailed loudly, "Damn me, I forgot the lessons of my old masters Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao, and repeated the same mistakes and became a traitor. This is my fate!"

    "Master Guoxing, although you killed my father and my brother, I still have no face to see you under the Nine Springs!"

    When the news spread, Chen Yonghua laughed in Taiwan and said: "Taiwan is going to be a big enemy! Lord Guoxing, you can rest in peace when you are under the Nine Springs."

    After laughing, Chen Yonghua covered his face and cried again, remembering Shi Lang's life experience and his previous experience of fighting against the Qing Dynasty side by side.  ah!"

    The news reached a certain fat man, who was on his way north, spat and cursed: "You deserve it! Who told you to cut off the last trace of Huaxia's blood?"

    After scolding, the fat man started to think badly again, "I'm done tricking Shi Lang, who should I harm next? Suo'etu? Tuhai? Mingzhu? Zhou Peigong, Zhao Liangdong, Xiong Cilu, Yue Le, Jieshu, or Yue Zhongqi's traitors  Dad? It¡¯s so embarrassing, there are too many, who should I hurt first? Who can give me an idea?¡± (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 43 New Errand

    ?

    (ps: "Supreme Fighting Martial Arts" recommended by friends, ISBN 1993966, please take the time to support it.)

    Back in time, when Geng Jimao and his son's memorial to Shi Lang's death was still being delivered to the capital, on the fourth day of November, Fatty Lu, Xiao Erlang and Shang Wanyi finally came to the capital under the heavy guard of the Fujian army.  When they arrived at Fuzhou City, the base camp of Geng Jimao and his son, they were accompanied by Li Tianzhi's more than forty remnant soldiers and defeated generals, and a new accomplice and running dog of Fatty Lu¡ªsomeone who was sent by his parents to learn from Fatty Lu.  The black fat boy I know is Fang Shiyu's silly boy.

    When he arrived at Jingnan Prince's Mansion in Fuzhou, Fatty Lu was pleasantly surprised to find that his other three lackeys, Liu Zhen, Liu Xu and Shen Xin, had escaped to Fuzhou alive.  It bought time for Fatty Lu and Monk Wanyan, but these three dog legs were still not the kind of thing that would kill thousands of people, and in the end they were outnumbered and forced to flee for their lives. Fortunately, although the three dog legs were all injured or severely injured  But none of them were taken away by God, and they managed to escape from birth with barely a problem.  But it was dark at that time, and the three dog legs couldn't find Fatty Lu, so they had to rush to the Jingnan Palace in Fuzhou to meet Fatty Lu as ordered.  It was reported to Prince Jingnan's Mansion, so after these three dog legs declared their identities, they were received and settled in Prince Jingnan's Mansion immediately, until Fatty Lu arrived in Fuzhou today.

    Meeting with the loyal dog legs, and found two other old dog legs who survived that night, Fatty Lu was naturally overjoyed, and immediately dragged the dog legs to eat, drink, whore and gamble in Fuzhou, and waited for Shang Kexi to come again  Send a team over to escort Shang Wanyi, and then go to Beijing together to meet Kangxi Xiaomazi¡ªDon't look at this cutscene, Fatty Lu can't officially become the county magistrate, but Fatty Lu is not in a hurry.

    During this period, Fang Shiyu, who had just joined Fatty Lu's team, was unavoidably taken by Fatty Lu to visit the brothel and enter the casino, and his innocent heart was greatly tarnished.  After getting rid of the shackles of his parents, he followed Fatty Lu to prostitutes and spend time and nights in Suliu. Not only did he not feel disgusted at all, but he found everything novel and fun everywhere.  The unscrupulous teacher worshiped him as an idol and a role model, and his relationship with Fatty Lu became increasingly close.

    Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory. Just after a few good days, on the morning of the tenth day of November, Fatty Lu, who was still sleeping in the Yihong Courtyard in Fuzhou, was suddenly pulled out of his bed by the guards of Jingnan Palace.  It was said that Prince Jingnan summoned him and asked Fatty Lu to wash up quickly, change into official clothes, and go to Jingnan Prince's mansion to meet him.  Fatty Lu cursed Geng Jingzhong in his heart for not being considerate of his subordinates, but he had no choice but to rush back to the post house to change his clothes, change into the pitiful seventh-rank sesame official uniform, and follow the guards to the Jingnan Palace to meet him.

    The luxury and magnificence of Jingnan Palace is not inferior to that of Pingxi Palace and Pingnan Palace, even worse, but Fatty Lu is not very interested in these, he just followed the guards to the Wanghai Tower where Geng Jingzhong lives to pay respects  .  Upstairs, and into the main hall, Fatty Lu saw Geng Jingzhong sitting high in the middle, talking to Zu Zepu, the governor of Fujian Province at first sight.  He is cursing, "Two traitors, sooner or later, I will kill you!"

    "Come on, get up." Judging from his relationship with Wu Sangui, Fujian Governor Zu Zepu's attitude towards Fatty Lu has always been pretty good, and he pointed to the chair next to him and said: "Sit down, wait a moment  Yes, the prince and I have to discuss some business matters."

    "Master Xie Butang." Fatty Lu smiled apologetically, and quickly got up and sat on the chair at the lower end. When serving tea with the maid, Fatty Lu listened attentively to the conversation between Geng Jingzhong and Zu Zepu  , Only then did I find that what Geng Jingzhong and Zu Zepu were talking about was how to ask for more military pay for Fujian from the Qing court.  There are also a lot of secrets such as the revenue and expenditure of the Qing court, which is so unscrupulous, it seems that Fatty Lu, the seventh-rank sesame official, is not around.

    "Strange, it's fine that Geng Jingzhong was born with a gold spoon in his mouth. Zu Zepu is definitely not a simple person to be able to get into the position of governor of Fujian. How could he discuss these things with Geng Jingzhong in front of me, an outsider?" Fatty Lu  I wondered in my heart, and was very puzzled by the actions of Geng Jingzhong and Zu Zepu who had no city.

    After thinking about it again, Fatty Lu couldn't help but slapped himself lightly in the bottom of his heart, and cursed secretly, "I'm really an idiot, the old traitor Wu Sangui just sent me to persuade Shang Kexi and his son to form an alliance with him, to cooperate with him and the Tartar court on military pay  Haggling on the issue, but not asking me to persuade Geng Jimao and Geng Jingzhong and his son¡ªthisWhen Shang Wanyi was there, she saw that Shang Wanyi had already moved to the back room, and she didn't know if she had really gone to rest.  Fatty Lu had no choice but to say loudly, "Young princess, the officer is leaving. Please rest assured, the officer will definitely come to greet you in the future."

    There was no sound in the back room, and Fatty Lu couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to go downstairs dejectedly under the guidance of the maid, and was going to follow the guards to the account room to collect travel expenses.  But after going downstairs, Fatty Lu bumped into another even more dejected hapless guy - Li Tianzhi, a general of the Pingnan Palace.

    "Lord Lu, are you here to greet Little Gege too?" Li Tianzhi forced a smile to greet Fatty Lu.

    "No." Fatty Lu shook his head and replied with a mournful face: "I'm here to bid farewell to Little Gege. I just received a letter from Prince Pingxi Feige, asking me to arrive in the capital before the Chinese New Year. I have other errands to do, so I can't help it."  , I really can¡¯t go to Beijing with Little Gege.¡±

    "Ah." Li Tianzhi was startled, then sighed, and said weakly: "Business is important, Mr. Lu, you go, anyway, after such a big incident happened this time, Gege should not be able to go to the capital. There is no need for Mr. Lu."  You accompany."

    "Unlucky guy, you're getting angry at both ends." Seeing Li Tianzhi's decadent appearance, Fatty Lu inevitably felt a little sympathetic¡ªin any case, Li Tianzhi is still very kind, and when dealing with Fatty Lu, he was quite worthy of Lu  Fatty's.  Unable to bear it in his heart, Fatty Lu pulled Li Tianzhi aside, and said in a low voice: "General Li, you don't need to do this. You are responsible for this matter. I really can't blame you. I believe that when you return to Pingnan Palace, Pingnan Prince  I won't do anything to you either. At least, Prince Pingnan has to protect you, right?"

    "Thank you for your good words, my lord. I hope so." Li Tianzhi sighed again, and said softly: "This time, there are not many generals. If you can keep your head, the generals will be satisfied."

    "No, no." Fatty Lu comforted repeatedly, but considering the ruthlessness of Shang Kexi's murderous monk Zhixin, Fatty Lu couldn't help but worry about Li Tianzhi's head, so he hurriedly said: "Please, please!"  Little Gege, she is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, has a good heart, and is very much loved by Prince Pingnan, as long as she intercedes for you, your head will definitely be saved."

    "Thank you for your guidance." Li Tianzhi nodded, and said with a blushing face: "To tell you the truth, in fact, the end of the day has come to pay respects to Princess every day, just to find an opportunity to intercede with Princess, and beg her to keep the head of the general.  Kill the last general, the last general is willing to accept any punishment."

    "Smart, but don't open your mouth today, that girl is in a bad mood today." Fatty Lu made another move. Speaking of this, Fatty Lu had an idea, and hurriedly said: "General Li, if you are going to be punished because of this  Dismissed from the army and driven out of the Pingnan Palace, if you don't dislike it, you can come and join me, I will definitely not treat you badly, as long as I still have a bowl of rice to eat, I will give you half a bowl!"

    "Thank you, Master Lu." Li Tianzhi said gratefully: "If there is such a day, the general will definitely go to you, Master Lu. You are a person who does great things, and the general will follow you, maybe it will be more promising."

    "Okay, let's make a deal!" Fatty Lu happily patted Li Tianzhi on the shoulder, somewhat looking forward to it.  But what Fatty Lu didn't know was that right on top of his head at this moment, there was a pair of clear and beautiful eyes watching him with tears

    "Fatty, you want to run away after taking advantage of my mother? Wait for my mother, this trip to the capital, my mother must go! When I get to the capital, I will settle the old and new accounts with you!" (Remember this website URL: www.  hlnovel.com

    "The capital! Young master, we have arrived in the capital! We have finally arrived in the capital!"

    "Brother Lu, the capital city! We have arrived in the capital city! The capital city is so big that my eyes are blurred!"

    Outside the Chaoyang Gate of the snow-capped city of Beijing, the frozen canals are impassable for boats, and the land roads into Beijing are crowded with civilians and officials going from east to west.  And among the hustle and bustle of the crowd, there is a small group of people with crooked looks and slanted eyebrows that are particularly eye-catching. Among them is a young man who is handsome but full of wretched temperament and another  The fat, short, black and half-sized fellow jumped and jumped together, yelling and yelling at another big fat man sitting on the carriage, who was as fat as a pig, "Master, we have arrived in the capital, and we have finally arrived in the capital."

    "What's it called? Didn't you just go to the capital? What's there to make a fuss about? Two bumpkins." Fatty Lu scolded Xiao Erlang and Fang Shiyu disdainfully, then turned to Liu Zhen who was next to him and asked, "What day is it today?  How many days until Chinese New Year? I don¡¯t remember clearly.¡±

    "Back to the young master." Liu Zhen, who had already been led badly by Xiao Erlang, also changed his address to Lu Fatty, and replied respectfully: "Today is the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. This year there is no thirtyth day of the twelfth lunar month. It is only eleven days away from the New Year."

    "Okay, I hurried all the way, I didn't even go to see the scenery, I finally arrived in the capital ten days earlier, it's worth it!" Fatty Lu nodded in satisfaction,

    Looking at the tall and gloomy city walls of the capital towering in the snow field in the distance, Fatty Lu felt his heart throbbing, and couldn't help but muttered in his heart: "Beijing City, the crystallization of the hard work and wisdom of the Chinese nation, I finally saw it."  It's your turn! Unfortunately, when I saw you for the first time in this life, you had already fallen into the hands of barbarians. My greatest wish was to save you from the hands of barbarians in the past. I can do it.  It can be done! And before that, when I come to the capital this time, I will turn you upside down, and let those mites, Qing and Tartars who have taken you by force have no peace!"

    "Master, I used to think that Guangzhou City and Kunming City were considered big!" Xiao Erlang's yelling interrupted Fatty Lu's muttering, "But when I went to Beijing and saw it, I didn't know it.  Compared with the city of Kunming, the city of Kunming and the city of Guangzhou are like children's play games! Young master, you have to say that you became the magistrate of this Beijing city that day, and for a year "

    "You're here again, aren't you?" Fatty Lu's golden fish eyes bulged, and he said angrily, "If you dare to say another word, I will ask Fang Shiyu to throw you into the ditch beside the road!"

    "Don't talk about the small ones, don't talk about the small ones!" Xiao Erlang was taken aback, and quickly covered his mouth.  Seeing that Fatty Lu's expression slowed down, Xiao Erlang said cautiously again: "Young master, in fact, I want to say that if you become the prefect of Beijing, young master, you will receive a poll tax a year, and you will be paid if you cover up all the money.  Isn¡¯t it like a game? This is a poll tax of three renminbi for a dime, ten dice are three taels of silver, a hundred are thirty taels, and a thousand are¡±

    "Fang Shiyu, throw Xiao Erlang into the ditch for me!" Fatty Lu couldn't bear it anymore and drank.

    "Okay." Fang Shiyu agreed happily.

    "Master, spare your life!" Xiao Erlang screamed, and quickly covered his mouth again.  It's a pity that the action was a bit late, Fang Shiyu opened his fat and big hands, grabbed Xiao Erlang's belt, and lifted Xiao Erlang to the sky with one hand, Xiao Erlang shook his hands repeatedly in fright, and screamed like a pig, "Master, spare me, spare me!  I don¡¯t dare to talk nonsense anymore, I don¡¯t dare to¡ª¡ª!¡±

    "Let him go." Of course, Fatty Lu would not let Fang Shiyu throw Xiao Erlang into the ditch, stop drinking in time, then knocked Xiao Erlang on the head and cursed loudly: "Bastard thing, a dog can't change it!"  Eat shit! How many times have I taught you, why can¡¯t I always remember? One last warning, this is the capital, not our Dali Mansion, some words and some things can¡¯t be said nonsense, and next time, I will throw you into the Yongding River  Here, hello bastard!"

    "Yes, yes, I remember it, little one." Xiao Erlang nodded repeatedly, as if he had really remembered it completely.

    "Remember? How many times have you said this? When did you remember it?" Fatty Lu cursed again, jumped off the carriage, and ordered, "Get in the carriage and sort out the books I put in the carriage.  Tidy up, pack it when it¡¯s time to pack, and I¡¯m going to the city soon, I¡¯ll come down for a walk and exercise my legs.¡±

    Xiao Erlang agreed repeatedly, climbed into the carriage and got into the carriage, and sorted out the books that Fatty Lu bought on the way for reading and study references and threw them all over the carriage¡ªsuch as "The Biography of Qin Hui", "The Biography of Zhao Gao", "Li Linfu",  Beneficial books such as "Yan Song's Father and Son's Crime Record" and "Lai Junchen's Little Notes" are beneficial for cultivating the body and mind and encouraging people.  Fatty Lu got out of the car and walked with his hands behind his back, constantly looking left and right, admiring the winter scenery of the capital.Let me drink with you, if your young master has any accidents, you can settle the score with me, right?  "

    "Master, what should we do?" Xiao Erlang turned to Fatty Lu and asked.

    Fatty Lu remained calm, his eyes rolled wildly, and found that the lobby of the restaurant was full of guests, many of them were strong men with thick waists and round arms. Although they were drinking and eating meat, they kept stealing eyes to this side.  Could not help but be more curious.  After hesitating for a while, Fatty Lu ordered in a low voice: "Then you guys eat here, I'll come as soon as I go."

    Leaving Xiao Erlang, Fang Shiyu and others drinking and eating meat downstairs, Fatty Lu asked the young man surnamed Cao to lead the way, strode up to the second floor of the restaurant, and was led by the young man surnamed Cao to the door of a private room.  The young man surnamed Cao stopped in his tracks, made an invitation gesture, and said with a smile: "Master Lu please, my master is inside."

    Fatty Lu nodded. When he opened the door and entered, he saw that a banquet table had been set up in the private room. There were two people sitting beside the table, and two young men stood with their hands behind their backs.  Before Fatty Lu took a closer look at the faces of these people, someone stood up at the table, cupped his hands and said to Fatty Lu with a smile: "Master Lu, I have known you for a long time, please sit down."

    "Thank you." Fatty Lu returned the salute with his hands clasped. He looked carefully at the person who was saluting him, and found that he was in his thirties, with a strong physique and ordinary appearance, and his clothes were quite noble.  When he looked at the person sitting at the table again, Fatty Lu couldn't help being stunned again - the person sitting next to the wine table turned out to be a short child of thirteen or fourteen years old!

    Originally, with Fatty Lu's knowledge and knowledge, a half-grown child who is less than five feet tall can't scare him. The key point is that this half-grown child is not only quite short and ugly - his face is also full of pockmarks  !

    ?

    "Lord Lu, please sit down wherever you want, you're welcome." The middle-aged man in his thirties with an ordinary appearance had a very kind attitude, and he personally opened the seat for Fatty Lu and invited Fatty Lu to sit down.

    "Isn't it possible? It can't be him, right? Although I've never felt inferior, this is too coincidental and unbelievable, right? Then as soon as I enter the capital"

    Fatty Lu thought in his heart, until the middle-aged man repeated the words of the invitation for the second time, Fatty Lu finally came to his senses, hurriedly returned the salute to the middle-aged man, and asked tentatively: "May I ask, may I ask this person?"  Your name? How did you know your name, and how did you know your appearance?"

    "In Xiasuo'etu, under the blessing of my father, I am now serving as a second-class bodyguard." The middle-aged man in his early thirties was very straightforward, and said with a smile on his face: "As for how to know your name and appearance, my lord?  To tell you the truth, I have a relationship with Kong Sizhen and Kong Sizhen, although you are only a seventh-rank official, you are already a famous figure in the world Lord Lu, you should understand what I mean by now, right?"

    "Suo, Suo'etu!" Fatty Lu's goldfish eyes almost popped out of his sockets, and he said that today's things are really getting more and more evil, and the famous Suo'etu actually hosted a banquet here for a Qipin County like me  Ling, you are still waiting here to entertain me as a Qipin county magistrate, what is this all about?  But after thinking about it again, Fatty Lu felt a little relieved, "I'm too stupid. Suo'etu was famous in history and had great power for a while, but before Aobai fell from power, this kid was still squeezed out.  Yes, not much better than me, so there is no need to make such a fuss."

    "Master Lu, please sit down." Seeing that Fatty Lu was motionless in a daze, Suo'etu couldn't help but smiled again, and hurriedly greeted Fatty Lu for the third time.

    "Thank you, thank you Suo's bodyguard." Fatty Lu finally came back to his senses, tried to calm his mind, and thanked him first, and then sat down on the chair that Suo'etu had opened for him.  But in the end, Fatty Lu still couldn't help but glanced at the little pockmarked boy, feeling more and more suspicious.

    "Master Lu, you have been looking at me all the time, what's the matter?" Xiao Mazi suddenly said, his voice was sharp and unpleasant, and there was a majesty like a toddler in Handan in his tone.

    Fatty Lu didn't answer, just continued to look at Xiao Mazi in a daze, Xiao Mazi frowned, and was about to explode, never thought that Fatty Lu stood up again, strode towards Xiao Mazi, frightened the two behind Xiao Mazi  The young men were all taken aback, and hurried forward together, protecting the little pockmark from left to right.  But no one thought that Fatty Lu bowed his hands to the young man standing on the right side of Xiao Mazi, and bowed deeply, with a very respectful attitude.

    "Lord Lu, I'm just a servant of the family, how can I afford such a big gift from you?" the young man asked in surprise.

    "Don't blame this young master. Lu Yifeng has a little understanding of the art of matching people." Fatty Lu said very respectfully: "Young master, you look at wolves with eagles, and listen to jackals and apes. You are a hero.  The future is bound to be limitless, so Lu Yifeng dare not be rude, and pays respects to Young Master."

    "What?" The young man was dumbfounded, and when he hurriedly peeked at Xiao Mazi beside him, Xiao Mazi remained calm, as if he didn't hear anything.  The young man's forehead was sweating, and he quickly returned the courtesy: "Lord Lu is too famous, the younger one is just a slave in Lord Suo's house, how dare you to be judged by Lord Lu like this?"

    "It's right, it's right." Fatty Lu nodded again and again, and then said solemnly: "Young master, Lu Yifeng dares to say one more word, I hope you don't care about it¡ªthis eagle-watching-wolf Gu is a rich and powerful person.  , but ill-gotten gains are not to be taken, and unjust honors are not to be obtained, and I hope that in the future, my son will never forget the three cardinal principles and five constant rules, and serve the master faithfully, let alone forget that we are all courtiers of the Qing Dynasty!"

    "Master Lu, what are you talking about? We have no grievances or enmity, how could you How could you?" The young man was shocked, scared and angry. If Xiao Mazi and Suo Etu were not present, the young man would have  It almost tore Fatty Lu's heart apart¡ªwho didn't know that Eagle Watching Wolf Gu was describing Sima Yi as a treacherous minister?  !

    "Li Xu, you stand down." Suo Ertu called back the young man Li Xu, and then, hinted by the little pockmarked eyes, pulled Fatty Lu to the little pockmarked boy, pointed at the little pockmarked boy and smiled at Fatty Lu  : "Lord Lu, I never expected you to be proficient in fortune-telling. If so, how about my distant cousin's fate?"

    "May I ask your master's name?" Fatty Lu asked, clasping his hands.

    "My surname is Long, and my first name is Dehai." The little pockmark replied proudly.

    "It turned out to be Young Master Long." Fatty Lu saluted again, and said respectfully: "Since Mr. Suo has ordered, I dare not disobey. Forgive me for speaking bluntly. Although the young master's face is beyond words, it is still in Suo'ertu."?Before the imperial financial meeting is held, you must win him over for me. I want to know Wu Sangui's minimum salary for the army and all his plans!  "

    "I've been doing it for a long time, so it's to get the bottom line of Wu Sangui's military salary from me." Fatty Lu, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, snorted in his heart, "Wait, Xiaomazi Kang, look at me this time.  How can you empty your treasury! It's a pity, if you don't have so many guards around you, let's see how I let you taste the iron fist of the Chinese people!"

    "Injustice¡ª¡ª!" Thanks to Fatty Tolu, not long after, there was another heart-piercing cry of injustice at the execution ground in Jingtai County, Gansu Province.  In history, he brutally murdered the anti-Qing righteous Xu Zhongchen, participated in the suppression of the San Francisco anti-Qing, and even his master and bannermen were extremely despised and sarcastic.  The descendants are true, but I am loyal to Daqing, loyal! I am wronged¡ª¡ª!"

    By the way, the unlucky ones with Yue Shenglong are Gansu governor Liu Dou and Gansu admiral. Liu Dou was demoted to three ranks for negligence, and the Gansu admiral who personally promoted Yue Shenglong was dismissed from his post.  His name is Zhang Yong, and he likes to lead the army to charge while sitting in a sedan chair.

    Seeing that Fatty Lu fell asleep, Xiao Mazi, Suo'etu and others didn't wake him up, and quickly got up and left. Fatty Lu, who pretended to be drunk, didn't dare to move around until Xiao Erlang, Fang Shiyu and others went upstairs  After finding himself, Fatty Lu woke up pretending to be drunk.  But at this time, Suo'etu and the little pockmarked group had already left, and Xiao Erlang and others handed over a waist card to Fatty Lu, saying that as long as Fatty Lu holds this belt card, he can go to Shenwu at any time.  The Suo'etu mansion inside the door paid a visit, and the servants of the Suo'er mansion would not stop them. In addition, Suo'etu actually rewarded Fatty Lu's dog legs with ten taels of silver each, saying that it was tea money for Xiao Erlang and others.

    "Master, this Lord Suo is really generous." Xiao Erlang said with a smile: "When you make a move, you will get ten taels of silver per person. I heard that the younger one is your housekeeper, and you will be rewarded with another thirty taels¡ªthis is enough.  How much land are you scraping in Qujing? Young master, how big is this Lord Suo, and why is he so generous?"

    "That's a fart. When his father's chief minister, Sony, was alive, he heard that those who entered the second sect were paid a hundred taels¡ªit's all the hard-earned money of our Han people!" Fatty Lu snorted disdainfully.  , stood up, rubbed his still aching head, and ordered: "Pack up your luggage and go, it's time to meet Prince Pingxi's son and Princess Jianning. ¡ª¡ª Damn, I want to see, Princess Tartar  Is Jianning as beautiful as in the legend?"

    "That's right." Xiao Erlang added: "Lord Suo also explained, because you are an official selected by Prince Pingxi, young master, it would be inconvenient for you to meet him, so I hope you don't tell this matter, young master. In addition  Lord Suo reassures you, young master, that no one will know about his meeting with you today."

    "Understood, don't talk nonsense, whether to report today's matter to Prince Pingxi, I will make a decision after careful consideration." Fatty Lu agreed casually, thinking in his heart, "Suoetu said that I will not meet with him.  Someone knows, it seems that this kid has concluded that Wu Sangui and Aobai's people are not after me. Then, should I tell Wu Yingxiong about this?"

    After leaving the restaurant, they found Shishi Alley. Fatty Lu and the others did not encounter any accidents on the way, but after they arrived at Wu Yingxiong's Efu Mansion and handed over the name badge, a moment later, there was a message from the middle gate.  Fu Fu's doorman's long shouting voice, "Er Fu Ye is here¡ª¡ª!"

    "Hey, I was a dog ignoring the buns in Kunming and Guangzhou. I made a smile on my face and gave money back. I often didn't see anyone. I just got a nickname, but when I arrived in Beijing, I became a sweet pastry? Everywhere I go  There are important people scrambling to see me, even Wu Gouxiong came to greet me in person." Fatty Lu smiled wryly in his heart, as if he had gained a deeper understanding of the world's fickleness and human feelings.

    While muttering, a middle-aged man in a white fox fur vest led a group of maids and servants and strode out. He was in his thirties, of medium height, with a white face and a slight beard, rather handsome, and somewhat similar to Wu Sangui.  Fatty Lu expected that this person must be Wu Yingxiong, so he hurriedly led all the idiots forward to salute, and said: "The humble 'Xianxuan official' Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Qujing County, pays homage to the son of Prince Pingxi, the son is blessed and safe!"

    Fatty Lu deliberately said the words "Xianxuanguan" very loudly. Wu Yingxiong is not a stupid person, so of course he understood what Fatty Lu said. Satisfied, Wu Yingxiong stepped forward to help Fatty Lu, and said with a big smile  : "Lord Lu, please don't be too polite, please come up quickly, your name has already been heard by me, not only did the father praise you more than once in the letter, he asked you to help me handle the Yungui military salary by name and surname, even  The current Emperor and Empress Dowager Lafayette have also mentioned your name in front of me, and your reputation has spread far and wide!"

    "My lord, I'm overwhelmed." Fatty Lu hurriedly saluted again, and said in awe and fear: "Everything in this humble job was given to me by my lord and my lord, and I dare not forget my roots!"

    "Your Excellency Lu is indeed the one my father praised, and his speech is really decent." Wu Yingxiong laughed again, pulled Fatty Lu up again, and said affectionately: "Quick, sit at home, I have already arranged a banquet  Clean up the dust for you. When you come to the capital this time, don¡¯t live in the Yunnan post house, just live in my house, and the servants and entourage also live here. I will ask someone to make a small courtyard for you alone.  "

    "Thank you son, thank you son, I really dare not take a humble job." Fatty Lu, who had expected to live in Wu Yingxiong's house, thanked him repeatedly, and quickly asked Xiao Erlang, Liu Zhen and others to carry their luggage, and followed Wu's servants to arrange a residence.  Fatty himself respectfully followed Wu Yingxiong and the others to eat and drink¡ªif all the fatty people in the world were like Fatty Lu, eating and drinking twice in less than two hours, then there would be plenty of doctors in the world  Money earned.

    By Wu Yingxiong??Look around.  Tu Hai clapped his palms, and a young man of twenty-five or six years old came out of the back hall immediately.  Kneeling down on both knees, he kowtowed respectfully and said: "Zhou Chang, the classic book of the humble cabinet, kowtow to Sigege, Gege Wanfu Jinan."

    "Si Gege, let me introduce you." Tuhai pointed to the young man and said, "His name is Zhou Chang, and he was recommended to me by General Zhenwu Wu Dan as an aide. After I entered the upper study, I rewarded him with a cabinet.  Enshrine (secretary) errand, a very resourceful person. This time in the Fu Honglie case and the Shi Lang case, he found several major doubts among the few clues I have! I invite you to come today.  I want you to listen to his opinions, which may help you find out the truth." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com

    "Zhou Chang? He's pretty handsome. He's more than ten times stronger than that fatty Lu from Yunnan. Walking on the street, he's sure to turn heads of many girls and daughters-in-law. Not to mention his pretty face, his limbs are so well-proportioned, and his waist is slender.  The ass is strong, hee, it must be strong, the type I like."

    Looking at Zhou Chang's appearance, Kong Sizhen even forgot to ask Zhou Chang to get up, and she couldn't help drooling, wishing she could just pounce on him, tear Zhou Chang's clothes off, and then press heavily on the ground, trampling wantonly!  It's a pity that Tu Hai next to him didn't have such hobbies as Kong Sizhen, but he said impatiently: "Get up, sit by the brazier, and tell Si Gege everything you found."

    "Cover." Zhou Chang kowtowed respectfully again, then stood up and walked to the side of the charcoal basin. He was about to sit opposite Kong Sizhen, but he never thought that Kong Sizhen would grab him with his left hand and pull him to his left, tenderly.  Said: "Master Zhou, sit next to the servant's house, it is convenient to sit closer and talk."

    Having said that, Kong Sizhen pressed Zhou Chang beside her without any explanation, and sat down next to her. At the same time, her left hand penetrated into Zhou Chang's leather robe like lightning, wandering around and touching him wantonly, which made Zhou Chang dumbfounded and dared not move.  Fortunately, Tu Hai has long been familiar with such things, and said impatiently: "Master Zhou, don't be afraid, Si Gege has always been this habit, you should hurry up and tell Si Gege about the major doubts you found  Say, let¡¯s talk about the rest slowly.¡±

    "Cover." Zhou Chang agreed again, and had no choice but to endure Kong Sizhen's sexual harassment while blushing, and said respectfully: "Si Gege, the case of Mr. Fu, the case reported by Fujian is very brief, only that Mr. Fu colluded with Taiwan."  Zheng Ni attempted to murder Pingnan Wang Gege, and the evidence for the murder of Pingnan Wang Gege is very sufficient. There are not only the confessions of Qujing County Magistrate Lu Yifeng and Pingnan Wang Gege, but also the confessions of Chaozhou soldiers who betrayed Lord Fu.  The iron case is like a mountain, and it will definitely not be overturned."

    "However." Speaking of this, Zhou Chang gave a heavy meal, and said seriously: "For the charge of colluding with Taiwan, Fujian did not show any real evidence, but just said very vaguely that it was related to Shi Lang's treason and usurpation case, but Shi Lang  That case was the same, there was no evidence at all, but the emperor still ruled that the case was legal, and rewarded the Fujian officials who handled the case. In view of the above points, I dare to speculate that the Fujian side probably secreted the most important key evidence to the emperor  , but due to various considerations, the emperor did not make this evidence public!"

    "It makes sense, it can only be this explanation." Kong Sizhen nodded, and said: "The emperor is so gifted, it is impossible to agree to kill a first-rank official and a fourth-rank magistrate based on those vague evidences.  It is impossible for the Empress Dowager not to stop and remind me."

    "The Four Frames and Ge Mingjian are indeed the truth." Zhou Chang nodded, and then said: "For this reason, I suggested that Tutang send people to Xinghua, Fujian to investigate this matter secretly.  An happened to be Tutang's old subordinate when he was leading the army, and happened to participate in the investigation of the case. Tutang secretly promised him to be promoted to the garrison, and he just like Tutang secretly reported the details of the case. It turned out that they found Mr. Fu Honglie  A letter was found on Mr. Fu's body, but Zhang An didn't know the specific content of the letter. He only knew that Mu Tianyan, the magistrate of Xinghua, didn't dare to open the letter, so he handed it to Jing directly.  Geng Jingzhong, the eldest son of the Southern King, the whereabouts of this letter is unknown, and the Fujian side has not released even a single word about this letter from the beginning to the end!"

    "It seems that the problem should be in this letter." Kong Sizhen nodded and said: "But it doesn't matter, as long as Geng Jingzhong dedicates this letter to the emperor, I will know the content of this letter at the latest tonight.  "

    "Si Gege, in front of the emperor, apart from knowing the specific content of this letter, you must ask the emperor to let you re-investigate the case!" Zhou Chang said darkly: "  Because during this period, Beizhi discovered an extremely serious doubt! A doubt that can completely turn this case over, no matter what the content of the letter is!"

    "What doubt?" Kong Sizhen said impatiently.

    "Gege, please take a look." Zhou Chang took out a few government documents from his pocket, and said, "This is Zhang An who got Mr. Fu and his autopsy for Tutang. In addition to stating that Mr. Fu and the others died by sword  In addition, the time of Master Fu's death is also speculated. ¡ª¡ªGe Ge, please look carefully, when were the two adults Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai died, and the bodies of six other Chaozhou soldiers found together with their bodies  , what is the time of death?"

    "Why is there a difference of six or seven hours?" Reminded by Zhou Chang, Kong Sizhen also found that something was wrong, snatched the corpses and looked at them carefully, and exclaimed: "It is speculated that Fu Honglie and YangLu Yifeng with a strategy to handle this matter?  "

    "I can't rule out the possibility." Xiao Mazi nodded, then pointed to Kong Sizhen and said, "In view of these circumstances, I hope you can win over Lu Yifeng for me within ten days.  The truth of the matter can be revealed, and I can also find out the trump card of Wu Sangui's military salary, so as to minimize the imperial court's expenditure on the military salary of San Francisco!"

    "Cover. The slave obeys the order." Kong Sizhen agreed again, and at the same time couldn't help but feel excited again, "Fatty man, the heavens doomed our marriage, it seems that the first time in my slave's Yunnan is destined to be broken in your hands  gone."

    "I have a similar explanation to Suo'etu." Xiao Mazi said again: "You can go to discuss with Suo'etu about how to do it, use your best skills, and tell Lu Yifeng casually, as long as Lu Yifeng is willing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright  , to help me solve the current problem of military pay in San Francisco, and I will reward him with a magistrate, no, I can reward him with a Taoist platform! Lianghuai Salt Law!"

    (ps: It will be Monday in a few hours, please recommend tickets and collections for next week. In addition, this book will be on the shelves on July 1st. Friends, please save the precious monthly pass for Pure Wolf.)

    On the morning of the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the sixth year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, the second day after Fatty Lu and his party arrived in the capital, it was snowing heavily. On such a freezing morning, Fatty Lu, who has not officially taken office yet, of course slept until he woke up naturally.  Fatty Lu reluctantly climbed down from the warm kang to solve his physical problems until he could no longer hold on to his inner urgency.

    After slamming on the chamber pot for a while, the fat man, who was determined to lose weight so that he could soak in horses, gave up the idea of ??going to the kang to continue sleeping, wrapped his fur coat tightly and walked out of the bedroom to take a look, only to see Xiao Erlang and the three brothers of the Liu family sitting around the charcoal basin to write and draw.  He was drawing something, but Fang Shiyu was nowhere to be seen.  Fatty Lu was curious, and asked a few scumbags: "What are you writing about? Where is Fang Shiyu, where did he die?"

    "Back to young master, Fang Shiyu went to practice, and said that he must practice until Sishi before stopping." Xiao Erlang replied, and subconsciously hid the list full of ghost symbols behind his back.

    "Then what are you writing about?" Fatty Lu asked.

    "Master, we are discussing how to manage the yamen for you in the future." Xiao Erlang hesitated for a long time, and finally replied honestly: "Yesterday we asked the third housekeeper in the family of the eldest son, and learned from him how to be a housekeeper in an official's house."  Experience, so let¡¯s discuss it when you have time today, and formulate the charging standards for door respect, tea, delivery calls, litigation and prison visits in our yamen in the future, so that everyone does not receive the same amount of money, and let others say that the young master is your yamen  Unreasonable, arbitrary charges"

    "Hey, you guys" Fatty Lu laughed back angrily, and couldn't do it anymore if he wanted to scold, so he could only smile wryly: "Even if you have a bit of foresight, you know how to plan ahead and be prepared for the rainy day, which is rare."

    "Thank you for your compliment, young master. You guys will definitely be prepared and won't embarrass you, young master." Xiao Erlang smiled all over his face, and said that his fat young master had finally regained his senses and learned how to scrape the ground after taking office.

    In the end, it was Liu Xu who reminded Xiao Erlang that he remembered something again, and hurriedly said: "Young master, there is one more thing. The son of the world sent someone to inform you just now. He went to the palace to pick up Princess Heshuo back to the mansion. It may take  You didn¡¯t come back after lunch in the palace, so you don¡¯t need to greet him, young master. You are willing to warm up at home, young master. If you need anything, feel free to ask the servants in the mansion. If you want to go out for a walk, young master, by the way  Report to the Ministry of Officials, Prince Pingxi's official affairs can be discussed after you come back."

    "It's rare to come to the capital, so let's go out for a walk, bring all the things we should bring, call Shang Shiyu, taste the local flavors in Beijing, and then take the time to report to the official department." As a fat man  Of course, Fatty Lu is not afraid of the cold, so he said casually: "It's almost Chinese New Year, I'll take you out and buy a new set of clothes for each of you, so that you won't mutter behind your back that I'm stingy, young master."

    "Thank you, Master!" Xiao Erlang, Liu Zhen and the others were overjoyed, and they hurriedly helped Fatty Lu wash and dress up, packed up his official uniform and official documents for Fatty Lu, and then called Fang Shiyu who had finished practicing, plus the last time  The two old servants who managed to escape their lives in Fujian, surrounded Fatty Lu, left Wu Yingxiong's mansion, and rushed to the capital street in a mighty manner.

    This year, if you want to visit Beijing City, Tiananmen Square of the Forbidden City and so on, Fatty Lu will definitely not be able to go there.  After the Wu Mansion, Fatty Lu and his entourage went straight to the front door, and started to visit the busiest and busiest Qianmen Street in Beijing in this era.  During this period, Fatty Lu kept his word, and really added a new set of clothes to each of the servants. The poor and used to Liu Zhen and the others were naturally not very happy, and thanked them repeatedly.

    Gradually strolling to the Zhengyangmen Gate, and then walking in, it is the inner city of Beijing where Han people are not allowed to live in this era. Looking at the soldiers and civilians going in and out of the Zhengyangmen Gate, Fatty Lu suddenly felt a feeling of gnashing his teeth.  It is the essence of the Chinese nation!  For hundreds of years, the Chinese people spent countless painstaking efforts to build the inner city of Beijing, but now the Chinese people other than the barbarians are not allowed to live. The people who live in it are all the Eight Banners of the Barbarians whose hands are stained with the blood of the Chinese nation.  They are also like mites and parasites, who do not work, do not farm, do business, do not work. They only know to suck the blood and sweat of the Chinese people every year, devouring the flesh and blood of the Chinese people!  The pride of the Chinese nation has now become the shame of the Chinese nation!

    "Master, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Erlang leaned over and asked flatteringly, "Why have you been staring at the city gate? Still looking murderous? Did someone offend you there? If so, then tell me, Master?"  Who is the little one, the little one took Fang Shiyu and dragged him into an alley, and beat him hard."

    "At thisFatty Lu also quickly thought nervously about the common popular item of the Ao old man's party.

    "I have to see old man Ao. Yesterday old man Ao's confidant Bumbleshan sent someone to pick me up outside the Chaoyang Gate. I didn't pick him up. I had already offended old man Ao indirectly. If I refuse Asiha's invitation today, then what would happen?"  I just offended old man Ao to death¡ªthat old man Ao is not a good-tempered character."

    "Dolittle is not well-known in history, so he probably isn't Kang Mazi's absolute confidant. If I follow him, I probably won't see Kang Mazi. Asiha is different. He just invited me to Oboi Mansion, saying that if I follow him,  Immediately, I will meet the famous old man Ao Baiao in history. And I am not afraid of thieves stealing, but I am afraid that thieves will think about it. Old man Ao attaches so much importance to me as a seventh-rank sesame official.  There will be countless troubles and dangers."

    "There is another advantage to meeting old man Ao. This old man is notoriously discriminating against and suspicious of Han people, and he is cruel and simple-minded. After meeting him, maybe he can use his hands to kill several famous traitors! Yes  , see old man Ao, it¡¯s worth it!¡±

    Thinking up to this point, Fatty Lu quickly smiled at Asiha and said, "My lord, how can I dare to ask you to invite me? It's just that I had a little conflict and misunderstanding with the housekeeper of Lord Bumbleshan yesterday.  Thinking of going to the door to apologize, if Lord A can introduce Mr. Wang Ban for Beizhi, then Beizhi will be very grateful."

    "Haha, easy to say." Asi laughed loudly, pulled Fatty Lu from Dolittle's hand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Bumbleshan must be at Prime Minister Ao's house now, and I will lead you to make amends for him."  Go." (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 49

    ?

    Aobai Mansion is located in Dongtangzi Hutong, Jinbao Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing, but to Lu Fatty¡¯s expectation, Aobai Mansion is not only not as luxurious and insatiable as he imagined, but also not as huge as he imagined.  Compared with Wangfu, Pingnan Wangfu, and Jingnan Wangfu, even compared with Wu Yingxiong's Efufu Mansion, they are a bit inferior.  If it wasn't for the Ao Mansion plaque hanging above the gate, Fatty Lu would almost have suspected that A Siha had found a random house to fool himself.

    Fatty Lu is somewhat famous now, but apparently he is not famous enough to allow Oboi to open the middle door to greet him in person. He is just led by Asiha through the side door into the mansion, and then into the inner house through the second door.  , directly led Fatty Lu to a study room full of official documents and books.  And in the study room at this moment, there are already seven or eight men in casual clothes, none of whom are wearing official uniforms, either holding teacups and chatting around the charcoal basin, or shaking their heads with books and official documents, or two people talking to each other.  Sitting and whispering, it is difficult to tell who is the famous old man Ao Baiao in history.

    "Master Ao, my humble position has not disgraceed my mission, I finally brought you Master Lu Yifeng." Asha said with a smile, pushed Lu Yifeng forward again, and said with a smile: "Master Lu, you are still stunned."  What are you doing? Why don¡¯t you hurry up to meet Prime Minister Ao and all the adults? Your luck, the adults present don¡¯t care which one, just a word, it¡¯s enough for you to eat for the rest of your life.¡±

    "Who exactly is old man Ao?" Fatty Lu wanted to impress Ao Bai, he quickly looked around the crowd, and quickly fixed his gaze on an old man with a gray beard but no slack in his muscles, and stepped forward decisively  Walking up to the old man, he knelt down on both knees, kowtowed and said: "Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Qujing County, Yunnan Province, is a lowly official. I pay my respects to Prime Minister Zhongtang Ao. May the prime minister be blessed and safe."

    "Have you seen the real face?" Obai was taken aback, thinking that Asha didn't introduce me just now, how did this fat man recognize me?

    "Going back to Prime Minister Ao, he lived in Yunnan with a humble job and has never been to the capital. Today is the first time I have the honor to meet him." Fatty Lu, who made a bet right, replied proudly.

    "Then why don't you salute other people, but just salute in front of the real face?" Obai asked curiously.

    "Back to the Prime Minister, when I entered the room, I suddenly saw a golden light covering the Prime Minister's body, and the golden light disappeared in an instant, hiding in the Prime Minister's body." Fatty Lu replied respectfully as if honey had been smeared on his mouth.  : "That's why I decided at the time that my lord, you are the number one pillar of my Qing Dynasty, the number one Batulu in the Qing Dynasty, and you are respected by the top and bottom!"

    "Hey, what a boy, what a sweet mouth." Aobai laughed out loud, although he didn't really appreciate Fatty Lu's deliberate flattery, but he didn't dislike it either.

    "Hehe, Mr. Lu really has a good mouth, no wonder he can be famous in the capital with a seventh-rank body." Several Oboi party members present also laughed loudly.

    One of the chubby fat men who was comparable to Fatty Lu stood up, walked up to Fatty Lu for a closer look, then turned around and smiled at Asha, "Ah Shangshu, after all, it's because of your face, I sent you  I asked the housekeeper to wait outside the Chaoyang Gate for Lord Lu Yifeng for two days, but in the end I still couldn¡¯t invite Lord Lu. Today, Prime Minister Ao just gave a random order. In less than two hours, Lord Lu was brought here by you  Come on, when it comes to the speed of doing things, I really can't help myself."

    "Is it possible that my lord is the master of Bumble Shanban?" Fatty Lu asked tentatively.  Seeing the fat man smiling and nodding, Fatty Lu didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly saluted again: "Lu Yifeng, a lowly post, has offended your housekeeper for some reason, please punish him."

    "It's okay, it's okay, get up." Bumble smiled and waved his hands again and again, and said with a smile: "It's not your fault, it's my housekeeper who was rude first and forced you to break the rules of Prince Pingxi's mansion.  This kid came back to complain to you, I asked Geshha who went to pick you up with him, and then I found out the reason, so I ordered him to be whipped twenty more lashes."

    "Master Ban is so magnanimous, that makes the humble official feel ashamed." Fatty Lu said tremblingly: "But the laws of the country cannot be broken, and the family laws cannot be abolished. As a member of the Pingxi Palace, the humble official dare not violate the rules of the Pingxi Palace.  , I hope Master Ban will investigate clearly."

    "It's easy to say, easy to say, I've already said that I don't care." Bumbleshan laughed and came to help Fatty Lu himself, and said: "Lord Lu, you still emphasize the rules of the Pingxi Palace so much, are you blaming me for inadvertently  Breaking Prince Pingxi's rules? Get up, get up."

    "I don't dare to be humble, thank you, Mr. Ban." Fatty Lu thanked him, finally stood up, turned to Oboi and asked, "Dare to ask the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister has summoned the lower officials several times, I don't know what to order?"

    "Sit down and talk." Obai's attitude was still kind, and he waved his hand to ask the servant to bring a chair for Fatty Lu, so that Fatty Lu could sit beside the charcoal basin, and then he said slowly.The son does not steal people's ambitions, and the truth does not force you, so let's go.  But remember, as long as you change your mind, you can come back to find the truth at any time.  "

    "Xie Ao Zhongtang is considerate, and I will remember it in my heart." Fatty Lu saluted and thanked, but he was gnashing his teeth in his heart, "This Oboi must be removed!"

    Note: Some readers mentioned the name of Kang Mazi in the book review area. Let me explain here that Kangxi had smallpox before he ascended the throne, leaving his face full of pockmarks.  It is not reflected in movies and TV, but the fact is the fact, and no amount of beautification can change it.  As for calling Kang Mazi or Xiao Mazi, it's like calling the protagonist Fatty Lu, just nicknames.

 Chapter 50 The Scourge Targets the Scourge

    ?

    (ps: Newcomers and new books are strongly recommended, please ask for points, votes and collections.)

    "Was old man Ao like this yesterday? Although my conscience is not very good, why do I feel a little bit of sympathy for him? No, if I want to overthrow Kang Mazi, my conscience must be darker than his, and my face must be darker.  Thicker than him! Sympathy, pity, morality, etc., go to death! Sympathy for the enemy is cruelty to oneself!"

    Thinking about this idea, Fatty Lu led a group of dog legs back to Wu Yingxiong's mansion when it was close to dusk. After entering the door to inquire, the servants of Wu Yingxiong's mansion said that Wu Yingxiong had already returned to the mansion and was talking to Lin Tianqing and others in the study, and said that he wanted Lu  Fatty can go there when he comes back.  Hearing this, Fatty Lu hurriedly asked Xiao Erlang, Liu Zhen and others to take Fang Shiyu back to the room to rest, while he asked the servants of Wu's mansion to lead the way and rushed to meet Wu Yingxiong's study.

    Entering Wu Yingxiong's study room, Wu Yingxiong was really chatting with Lin Tianqing and Lang Yanshu. Seeing Fatty Lu come in, Wu Yingxiong stopped Fatty Lu from saluting, and asked affectionately: "How is Master Lu doing in the capital today? I just heard that Fatty Lu came in."  It is said that when you went to report to the official department, you were made things difficult by the people in the official department, is it okay? Do you want me to come forward and intercede for you?"

    "Thank you, my son, for your concern. It's just a trivial matter." Fatty Lu said with a smile without restraint: "That Mr. Qian probably wants to show some filial piety, but it's a pity that I lost all my money when I was in Fujian. This time I came to the capital  It was still Prince Jingnan who rewarded some travel expenses, so he has no money to honor him, of course he is dissatisfied."

    "These bugs in the bureaucracy are indeed becoming more and more lawless." Lin Tianqing echoed: "A few months ago, Jackie Chan was promoted to the prefect of Hezhou and went to Beijing to receive the seal. He also had no money to send these brats away.  God, in the end Ao Zhongtang found out and lost his temper, and these people gave Yu Chenglong a seal." After finishing speaking, Lin Tianqing deliberately asked again: "Master Lu, how did you solve your problem in the end?"

    "It's also a blessing from Ao Zhongtang." Fatty Lu knew that Lin Tianqing was trying to test him on purpose, so he took the initiative to say: "After being rejected by Mr. Qian, the lower official originally planned to come back to ask the son for help.  The two hall officials arrived in time, came forward to stop them, and gave a lesson to Mr. Qian who asked for bribes. Ashha A Shangshu also brought the lower official to the mansion of Ao Zhongtang, and talked there again.  I know, it turns out that Ao Zhongtang's kindness is all due to Ao Zhongtang's kindness when Ah Shangshu takes care of the subordinates."

    "It's also my fault for being careless. I didn't consider that you are inconvenient, Mr. Lu." Wu Yingxiong took the conversation and said lightly: "How about it, Mr. Lu, you go to the counting room to pay five hundred taels of silver, and I will subsidize your father.  For yours, it¡¯s inconvenient if you don¡¯t have enough cash in the capital.¡±

    "Your Majesty, you are being polite. Your annual salary is only a few hundred taels. Those in humble positions dare to take your reward." Fatty Lu, whose standard annual salary is only forty-five taels, was polite, but he was cursing in his heart, "Stinger,  Iron rooster, the pocket money you get from your father a year is at least tens of thousands of taels, right? You only gave me such a little."

    "You don't need to refuse, you deserve it." Wu Yingxiong waved his hand, and asked casually: "After seeing Ao Zhongtang, what did Ao Zhongtang ask you?"

    "It was predicted by Mr. Lin. It really happened in Fujian." Fatty Lu also knew that Wu Yingxiong was deliberately testing him, so he explained in detail the process before and after he met Oboi. Even Oboi was going to use two  Fatty Lu also confessed that Huaiyan Fadao officials bribed him to betray Wu Sangui without reservation¡ªthere were too many people present at the time, even the maids and servants of the Ao Mansion, Fatty Lu did not dare to vouch for these people  Whether it will leak the secret, I feel that it is better to explain it openly and honestly than to conceal it and arouse the suspicion of Wu Sangui and his son in the future.

    "This fat man is pretty smart, he didn't play any tricks." Wu Yingxiong snorted coldly in his heart, and asked hypocritically, "Master Lu, Ao Zhongtang promised you to be the Lianghuai Salt Dharma Daoist, so you are not tempted at all?"

    "Returning to the son, it would be a lie to say that you can't be tempted. The two Huai salt methods are the most fat jobs in the world. If you take up any position, you will not have to worry about food and drink for three lifetimes." Fatty Lu smiled wryly, and then  Said: "But Lu really dare not forget where his roots are, let alone the three principles and five constant principles, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, so he declined Ao Zhongtang's kindness. Fortunately, Ao Zhongtang is a broad-minded person, and he was not angry.  That's how Lu came back."

    "Very well, I will report this matter to my father truthfully." Wu Yingxiong nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Actually, I understand what Ao Zhongtang is thinking. He really doesn't have much ill intentions for our Pingxi Palace.  In addition to appreciating your ability and loyalty, there is also the fact that you don¡¯t want the court¡¯s military pay to be too large. But his old man also underestimated our Pingxi Palace on this point. The father¡¯s request for an increase in military pay is indeed just for the soldiers of Yunnan and Guizhou.  increase by one?Take him to betray Wu Sangui and threaten him, all these problems can be easily solved.

    After bowing his head and thinking for a long time, Fatty Lu raised his head and whispered in Lin Tianqing's ear: "Lord Lin, I can introduce you to Ao Zhongtang for you, and I can even use some special relationships to help you, Lord Lin, in front of the emperor, but  There is one condition for being humble."

    "Lord Lu, can you still get through with the emperor?" Lin Tianqing said pleasantly: "Master Lu, please tell me that as long as I can be the governor of Yunnan, I can promise you anything."

    "The only condition for a humble job is." Fatty Lu said word by word: "Master Lin, in front of the emperor and Oboi, you must say that the minimum salary of Prince Pingxi is 3.5 million taels of silver!"

    "Three and a half million taels?!" Lin Tianqing was taken aback, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Isn't this one million taels higher than the number reported by the son, will the emperor and Ao Zhongtang agree?"

    "I will agree, I will definitely agree." Fatty Lu said confidently: "As long as Mr. Lin, you do as the humble post says, I am at least 80% sure to help you take down the official position of governor of Yunnan."

    "Really?" Lin Tianqing was skeptical, and was about to ask, when the coachman outside the car suddenly said: "Master in the car, the South Church you mentioned has arrived."

    "Master Lin, if you believe me, just do as I say, otherwise I really have nothing to do." Fatty Lu said in a low voice, "Let's go, let's go to see Mr. Nan Huairen first, you can consider  Talk about it in a day or two."

    After all, Fatty Lu opened the curtain and got out of the carriage, but when he jumped into the carriage carefully, Fatty Lu was stunned¡ªin front of the baroque cathedral, Li Xu, who had been raped by him once, led a few people in casual clothes.  A young man is guarding the door of the church with his hands behind his back.  Seeing Fatty Lu get out of the car, Li Xu was also taken aback, and immediately glared at Fatty Lu again.

    "No way? Such a coincidence? Could it be that he is also in this church?" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com

    (ps: It will be on the shelves soon, so stay tuned. Friends who have no favorites, please add them to your favorites for future reading.)

    Facing Li Xu's hateful eyes that could kill people, Fatty Lu was as peaceful as if he had entered Bada Hutong with a bag of silver. He just turned around with a smile on his face and helped Lin Tianqing off the carriage, and asked Xiao Erlang and others to propose to give it to him.  Nan Huairen's gift, and then walked side by side with Lin Tianqing in front of the church gate, greeted Li Xu affectionately: "Mr. Li, what a coincidence, why are you here? Oh, I understand, it must be done again  Did you feel sorry for your conscience? So you came here to ask the priest to confess?"

    "Fart, who would do something that is unconscionable?" Li Xu, who had always thought that Fatty Lu was very unpleasant, was furious, his eyes were red, and he subconsciously pressed the handle of the knife and was about to draw it out¡ª¡ªLi Xu really made Fatty Lu  I hate him to the core. He was originally Xiao Mazi's personal bodyguard, but because of Fatty Lu's nonsense, he has now become a watchdog at the gate, braving the wind and snow. What good can Li Xu do to Fatty Lu?  impression?

    It's a pity that Li Xu touched the knife fast, and Fang Shiyu's shot was even faster. Almost as soon as his hand touched the handle of the knife, Fang Shiyu's fat hand was already on his wrist, smiling foolishly.  He asked, "What do you want to do to my elder brother? If you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end."

    While saying that, Fang Shiyu still squeezed it so hard, Li Xu felt his wrist was clamped by iron clamps, and even the bones of the wrist creaked, and the pain caused tears and snot to spurt together, screaming like a pig, "  Ouch, it hurts me to death!"

    "What are you doing? What do you want to do?" The companions next to Li Xu were startled and angry, and they drew their swords in surprise.  Here the Liu family brothers, Xiao Erlang and the others did not hesitate, or drew their knives or sticks, and were ready to protect Fatty Lu at any time.  Fortunately, Fatty Lu yelled in time: "What are you doing? Stop it! Shiyu, you also let go of Mr. Li, I'm just joking with him."

    Fang Shiyu got his parents' orders to listen to what Fatty Lu said, so he naturally stopped when he heard that, and the Liu brothers and Xiao Erlang also backed away cautiously.  Li Xu didn't dare to make trouble here, so he had to wave his hand to dismiss his companions, and when he took a sneak peek at his left wrist, Li Xu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets¡ªonly after being pinched by Fang Shiyu, his wrist unexpectedly  A blue and black five-fingerprint appeared!  At this time, Lin Tianqing also came up and asked curiously: "Master Lu, what is going on?"

    "It's okay, this Mr. Li knows me, it's just a joke." Fatty Lu laughed and laughed, then turned to Li Xu and asked, "Mr. Li, let's stop joking. Why are you here? Do you also believe in foreign religions?"  ?¡±

    Li Xu didn't bother to pay attention to Fatty Lu at first, but when he saw Fang Shiyu still staring at him, Li Xu could only say angrily, "Who believes in foreign religions? My Mr. Long came here to visit, and I will stay here to protect him."  !"

    "Master Long is here too? Is Lord Suo here?" Fatty Lu asked curiously.

    Li Xu nodded angrily, and gave Fang Shiyu a vicious look, thinking that this fat boy is really fucking strong.  But Lin Tianqing was taken aback, and quickly asked: "Lord Lu, that Lord Suo you mentioned, is that Lord Suo? What official position does he hold?"

    "Lord Suoetuso." Fatty Lu scratched his head and said, "As for his official position, I didn't ask him for details, but I just heard from him that he seems to be some kind of guard? What kind of official is this guard, sir  I don¡¯t know much about talent and learning.¡±

    "Could it be Mr. Suoetusuo, the second-class bodyguard, the second son of the former chief assistant of the imperial court, Sonisuo Zhongtang?" Lin Tianqing exclaimed.

    "Well, I really don't know." Fatty Lu shook his head decently, then turned to Li Xu and asked, "Mr. Li, the Lord Suo that you introduced to me last time is the Lord Suo that Lord Lin mentioned."  ?"

    "Who else is there besides him?" Li Xu rubbed his hands and agreed angrily, and asked again: "What are you doing here? Xuanwumen Church is closed today, I want to pray and come another day."

    "That's such a coincidence." Fatty Lu said happily: "The troublesome Mr. Li told Mr. Suo and Mr. Long that the next official also wanted to visit this church, and he also wanted to visit Nanhuai by the way."  Father Rennan, and the former governor of Yunnan Lin Tianqinglin, he is an old friend of Father Nan, and we also want to visit him to reconnect with the old relationship."

    "Then what do you want to do when you visit Father Nan?" Li Xu didn't even bother to take a look at Lin Tianqing, the former governor, and just stared at Fatty Lu vigilantly and asked.

    "Looking for advice." Fatty Lu said seriously: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Li, although I don't believe in foreign religions, I am very interested in the knowledge of foreigners.  Proficient in astronomy and arithmetic, I came to Beijing this time for one purpose, to take this opportunity to? Fatty Lu hurriedly turned his gaze away, pretending to look at other people.  But at this moment, the eyes of Fatty Lu and a handsome man beside Kong Sizhen happened to collide, and at the same time, their bodies shook

    "Damn, why is this guy's eyes so uncomfortable?" Fatty Lu suddenly had the urge to punch the handsome man's nose flat.

    "Damn, why is this fat man's eyes so disgusting?" The handsome man also frowned slightly, and also wanted to kick Fatty Lu to death.

    Seeing that Fatty Lu and Xiao Mazi entered the church together, Kong Sizhen wanted to follow, but then he saw the handsome man with whom Fatty Lu had a dislike for each other - Zhou Chang, who was also his new friend lent to him by Tu Hai, stood there.  He refused to move, and his face was full of displeasure, as if he was in a bad mood.  Kong Sizhen smiled, put his hand on Zhou Chang's shoulder, and asked delicately in Zhou Chang's ear: "What's the matter? Is it delicious? There's nothing you can do about it. Who told the master to like Western learning, but you just don't know it."  This, if you don't want to be compared by Fatty Lu, you won't be able to do it."

    "Hmph! Just because he is worthy of my taste?" Zhou Chang snorted enviously, "It's just a skillful obscenity, which is comparable to our Qing Dynasty's Four Books and Five Classics, and the doctrine of sages?"

    "But the master just likes this, what can you do?" Kong Sizhen laughed, and then chuckled in Zhou Chang's ear: "But don't worry, I believe you are definitely better than him in bed, you little pervert  , Little pervert, little white wolf! Last night, my family was almost tortured to death by you and Tu Hai!"

    Mentioning the absurd things that happened last night, Zhou Chang inevitably blushed a little, and quickly changed the subject and said: "Speaking of which, I am really a little unconvinced by my lowly position. It is obvious that Fatty Lu probably lied in Fu Honglie's case.  He loves him, and he is also jealous, but we arrest him and interrogate him, the humble job is really rotten."

    "Don't worry, take your time, let's settle this account slowly." Kong Sizhen smirked, and whispered in Zhou Chang's ear: "The most important thing for us now is to win over this fatty Lu for the master.  Come here, first solve the urgent need of the master, and then slowly settle the debt, and slowly vent your anger on this fat man Lu. Do you understand, my brother Chang?"

    "Understood." Zhou Chang nodded, but his heart became more and more angry-he said that the current emperor and Ao Zhongtang are really blind, and they don't want to use such a talented and well-learned talent like me, so they have to learn from Wu Sangui.  While wooing Fatty Lu, who looks stupid at first glance, isn't this buying baskets for pearls?  Fatty Lu, please remember, from now on, we are sworn enemies!  One day, I will double this shame to you!

    Gritting his teeth and muttering, Zhou Chang entered the church side by side with Kong Sizhen again, and said flatteringly, "Si Gege, in public from now on, you should be called a humble official. The humble official name is Zhou Chang, and the name is Peigong. You call me  Zhou Peigong will do, please speak more casually.¡± (Remember the website of this website: www.hlnovel.com

    "Mr. Lu, I am so surprised and admired by your insights into mathematics. I can even bet that with your knowledge of mathematics, you will be a top-notch mathematician even in Europe."

    After some academic exchanges with Fatty Lu, Nan Huairen was completely convinced by Fatty Lu's mathematical knowledge¡ªit can't be helped, Fatty Lu is more than three hundred years ahead of him, and he is full of praise for Fatty Lu.  Serving tea to pay homage to the teacher.  And Xiao Mazi, who also likes mathematics, was stunned, tongue-tied, and exclaimed, "Wonderful, really wonderful! I just learned today what it means to learn endlessly, what it means to have mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people!"  Master Lu, you are really the number one person in my Qing Dynasty!"

    "Mr. Long is too much." Fatty Lu answered Xiao Mazi lightly: "These are just heretics, ingenious prostitution skills, self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace. We still have to rely on our sage books and theories of sages. Although Lu  I like this technique, but I don¡¯t dare to put the cart before the horse and chase after the tail.¡±

    "Lord Lu is still modest, three hundred and sixty lines, and you can become the number one scholar. It is rare for you to be able to figure out arithmetic to this extent." Xiao Mazi laughed happily, and asked curiously: "Master Lu,  If I remember correctly, you seem to be from the Dali Prefecture in Yunnan, how did you learn these Western theories in the inland area?"

    "Master Long doesn't know something." Fatty Lu was prepared for this question, and he said nonsense: "Dali is inland, but it is connected to Myanmar and Tianzhu in the south, and Tibet and Sichuan in the north.  It is also well-known in the country, and businessmen from various countries often come to Dali to do business. Luckily, Lu¡¯s parents were once the richest businessmen in Dali, and they had many contacts with foreign businessmen. When Lu was young, he learned the foreign language through this relationship.  I came into contact with foreigner's arithmetic books."

    "Could it be that Mr. Lu learned the Western language from the merchants of the East India Company?" Nan Huairen's eyes lit up, and he said, "The British East India Company established a trading station in India more than 50 years ago and almost monopolized the  Most of the trade in East Asia, I came to China on the ship of their company. Mr. Lu, the British businessmen you met in Dali are probably businessmen from the East India Company. I don¡¯t know if Mr. Lu remembers their names. Maybe I  And get to know them."

    "I don't remember most of them." Fatty Lu continued to babble: "However, there is a fat teacher who is relatively short. I am very impressed. I still remember his foreign name sirwinstonleonardspencerchurchill."

    "Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill?" Nan Huairen translated it into Chinese casually, and said in surprise: "It's not wrong, this is an authentic British name. It seems that the foreign businessman who taught you these things,  It must be English."

    "Father Nan, I have something to ask, and I hope you will definitely agree." Fatty Lu was afraid that Nan Huairen would continue to ask, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Father Nan, I think you also know that "Elements of Geometry" is a western book.  There are 15 volumes in the arithmetic masterpiece of the Qing Dynasty, and I only translated the first six volumes of "The Elements of Geometry" in the Qing Dynasty. Due to various reasons, the last nine volumes have not been translated into my Qing language. Lu took the liberty to ask Father Nan to help Lu  Provided a complete set of "Elements of Geometry" in English."

    "Mr. Lu, do you want to translate the last nine volumes of "Elements of Geometry" into Qing characters?" Nan Huairen asked with a smile.

    "That's right, that's right." Fatty Lu nodded, and said solemnly: "The wish of a certain Lu in his life is to translate this set of Western arithmetic masterpieces into Qing characters, and dedicate it to me, Emperor Kangxi, who is wise, famous, and wise.  I wish Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty a long life and a prosperous Qing Dynasty, and the country will last forever! Father Nan, if you can help Lu fulfill this wish, Lu is willing to thank you with half of his family property!"

    "Lord Lu, do you really have this plan?" Xiao Mazi was so excited that every pockmark on his face shone with light, wishing he could pounce on Fatty Lu's fat face and kiss him hard.  But Lin Tianqing, Suo'etu and the others who had been afraid to speak over there had subdued Fatty Lu to the core¡ªit was unprecedented and unprecedented to be able to flatter him to such an extent.

    "That's right." Fatty Lu nodded again, and said solemnly, "This is not only Lu's wish in his life, but also the common wish of our soldiers and civilians in Yunnan, Qing Dynasty." Then, Fatty Lu pointed to Lin Tianqing and said, "Just  It seems that the former governor of Yunnan, Lin Tianqing, Lord Lin, after I told him about this incident yesterday, he also applauded loudly, and said on the spot that he would do his best to help me, so that the officer can realize this wish as soon as possible."

    Seeing Xiao Mazi's admiring eyes turned to him, Lin Tianqing was so excited that he wanted to kiss Fatty Lu, so he quickly stood up and walked southSeeing their hesitation, Fatty Lu said in a deep voice: "Liu Zhen, Liu Xu, Shen Xin, I understand your thoughts, if you are afraid, I will never force you, I will give you three hundred taels of silver  , let you leave freely, in order to thank you for saving your life in Fujian."

    Speaking of this, Fatty Lu paused, and said solemnly: "But what I have to tell you is that I have prepared a perfect plan. After you do it, no one will find out! And after it is done, I will  I will never treat you badly, you will be my brothers, my confidantes, from now on, as long as I, Lu Yifeng, have a mouthful of food, I will never let you starve! If I get rich, you will also get rich together, and I will get rich in the future.  Prime Minister, you can at least create a glorious ancestor and confer your wife and son!"

    After talking in a low voice for a few words, the three brothers of the Liu family stood up together, knelt down side by side to Fatty Lu, and Liu Zhen said, "Master, when our three brothers were about to starve to death, you were the one who didn't think we were lowly, and took care of us."  Give us a bite of food and a piece of clothing! Our three brothers are not ungrateful people. Since you have spoken to this point today, then you should give an order. From now on, our three brothers  He is your own brother, we will do whatever you tell us to do!"

    "Master, in fact, we have already seen that you are not just a county magistrate, but a person who can really do great things!" Liu Xu and Shen Xin said in unison: "Following you, we can rest assured and feel motivated! Master  Don't worry, from now on, we will do whatever you want us to do!"

    "Very good." Fatty Lu nodded in satisfaction, got up and helped the three brothers of the Liu family one by one, held their hands and said one by one: "Good brother, today we are brothers, and I, the eldest brother, will never let you  Call me big brother for nothing! Blessings are shared, and difficulties are shared.¡±

    Helping the brothers from the Liu family, and after sitting down again, Fatty Lu asked everyone to sit around the charcoal basin, and whispered to them, "Listen, at noon tomorrow, I will go to Suo'etu's mansion with Lin Tianqing  Go to the banquet, when the time comes, you will go with me first, and when you arrive at your destination, you will find an excuse to leave Suo'etu's house, and then"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Just as Fatty Lu and the other idiots were discussing those outrageous crimes, in a luxurious room in the inner city of Beijing, Kong Sizhen and Zhou Peigong were frankly embracing and writhing on a warm fire pit covered with expensive furs.  Together, after finally satisfying Kong Sizhen, he asked, "Sigege, did you say that Fatty Lu really didn't recognize our Long Live Lord in the church today?"

    "It doesn't look like it." Kong Sizhen panted and said: "If a seventh-rank sesame official knows the identity of the emperor, and sits side by side with the emperor, talking freely, how can he speak freely and behave as usual? If he is timid  One point, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m scared to the ground.¡±

    "What? Do you suspect that Fatty Lu already knew the identity of the emperor? Have you seen any flaws?"

    "The humble official is so suspicious." Zhou Peigong admitted frankly, and said distressedly: "But the humble official can't see any flaws! In short, that Lu Yifeng, if he didn't really know the identity of the emperor, he must be a treacherous and cunning man.  Measurement!"

    "But if you can't produce evidence, what can you do?" Kong Sizhen said helplessly.

    "Si Gege, a humble job is a way, and it will definitely expose Lu Yifeng's true face." He whispered in Kong Sizhen's ear, "When that Fatty Lu arrives at Mr. Suo's house tomorrow, Si Gege can do this"

    "Wonderful ghost, thank you for thinking of such a way!" Kong Sizhen smiled suddenly, and then asked with winking eyes: "But even if you exposed his true face, what's the use? The master needs it now."  Even if he knows that he is pretending, what can he do?"

    "At the very least, the emperor can see his true face clearly!" Zhou Peigong said viciously: "After the emperor saw his true face, Long Yan was furious, and he would not appreciate him so much. We can also take this opportunity to check.  The truth about Fu Honglie's Master Fu case has been revealed!"

    "And you can take the opportunity to stand out, right?" Kong Sizhen pinched Zhou Peigong's face, and scolded with a smile: "You little white wolf, you are quite narrow-minded, don't you think Fatty Lu stole your limelight?  "

    Zhou Peigong smiled awkwardly, which was a tacit consent.  Fortunately, Kong Sizhen didn't continue to worry about it, just opened his legs, and said with a charming smile: "My family can help you with this, but my family has helped you so much, shouldn't you repay my family?"

    "This is what a slave should do." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 53 Suofu is a guest

    ?

    (ps: It¡¯s on the shelves, two updates today, the first one will be delivered, ask for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets for support.)

    The next morning, Lin Tianqing really couldn't wait to come to Fatty Lu's room early, pulled Fatty Lu out of the bed who was still asleep, and forced Fatty Lu to get up and go to Suo'etu's house for a banquet.  Fatty Lu couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "Master Lin, I said you are too anxious, right? You have just arrived at Sishi now, and Master Suo is still working in the palace in all likelihood. Go over now, I'm afraid even Master Suo will be in a hurry to get you to work."  Are you not at home?"

    "Lord Lu, you are still new to the officialdom, so you don't understand this." Lin Tianqing shook his head and pointed out kindly: "In the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, officials of a certain level invited colleagues to a banquet.  It¡¯s okay to just invite dinner. You can go there in time for dinner. But it¡¯s very grand to say that you¡¯re going to treat guests at your own home one day in advance. Usually, the host has to prepare a troupe of dancing girls, divas, and troupes.  The guest has a good day to swim, and the sooner the guest arrives, the more respect and affection he will show to the host."

    "Especially after a public servant like Mr. Suo said he invited you to stay at his house at noon yesterday, he must have let you stay at his house all day today, not only for lunch, but also for dinner.  , maybe he will keep you overnight in his mansion, and let the servant girl serve you to bed."

    "In the final analysis, it's just a waste of the hard-earned money of our Chinese people, right?" Fatty Lu snorted coldly in his heart, sat up and hummed: "Thank you, senior Lin, for your guidance. This junior understands. Please wait a moment, senior. This junior will get up and change clothes now."  , to accompany you to the banquet at Master Suo¡¯s residence. By the way, Senior Lin, should this junior bring some gifts?¡±

    "You can bring it or not, it depends on your own mind." Lin Tianqing replied casually, and then said in a low voice: "However, Mr. Lu, your current official position is still a bit low. According to this old man, you'd better prepare presents.  The more precious the better, pay more respect to Master Suo."

    "But the younger generation is poor now, how can I buy expensive gifts with the money?" Fatty Lu said distressedly.

    "Forget it, the old man will help you find a way." Lin Tianqing now has something to ask for from Fatty Lu, so he had no choice but to say: "Well, I happen to have an authentic Wu Daozi handwriting by my side, and I originally planned to wait until Yunnan to present it.  Give it to Lord Pingxi, today I will reluctantly part with you, and give it to Lord Lu as a gift to Lord Suo."

    "Since that's the case, the younger generation will not be polite." Fatty Lu didn't blush, and agreed to take other people's things as a favor.  Here, Lin Tianqing turned and went back to the room to pick up the painting, while Fatty Lu got up, called Xiao Erlang to his face, and whispered in his ear: "How is it? Are all the things that should be prepared ready?"

    "Don't worry, young master, everything is ready." Xiao Erlang agreed in a low voice.

    "Very good, when we arrive at the Suo Mansion, we will split up. I will deal with it in the Suo Mansion, and you will leave the Suo Mansion under the pretext of visiting the capital." Fatty Lu nodded with satisfaction, and then whispered: "Also, one is yours."  The most important task is to take care of that idiot Fang Shiyu, and pay attention to the brothers of the Liu family. After all, their time with me is short, and they are not as stupid as Fang Shiyu.  There is one more thing, you should immediately go to Prince Pingxi's son and tell him this"

    After Fatty Lu finished speaking, Xiao Erlang took the order to go, and Fatty Lu dressed himself and got up, washed and dressed, and after a little breakfast, Xiao Erlang and Lin Tianqing returned to Fatty Lu one after another.  The goons and Lin Tianqing went out, found Wu Yingxiong and said that they were going to Shichahai to enjoy the snow, and they might not be able to return until evening.  Wu Yingxiong didn't doubt it either, just agreed with a smile, and also asked a few words of concern about skating on Xuedalu, don't take risks in skating, and then waved Fatty Lu, Lin Tianqing and others out of his house.

    After successfully leaving the gate of the Wu Mansion, Fatty Lu and others hired a carriage and rushed all the way to the Suo'etu Mansion outside the Shenwu Gate. Along the way, Fatty Lu's henchmen remembered the road carefully and did not mention it.  After the carriage walked along the official road in the city for more than half an hour, it stopped in front of a mansion that occupies a large area. The driver greeted: "Masters, the old Suo Zhongtang mansion you mentioned is here, please get out of the car."  .¡±

    "Good guy, he's much richer than Aobai's family." Glancing at the Suo'etu Mansion, which occupies an area of ??tens of acres and clustered with houses, he secretly admired, Fatty Lu jumped out of the carriage, and ended up standing still on the snow with both feet  , A strong man came over in front of the Suo Mansion, cupped his hands to Fatty Lu and said: "Dare to ask this master, but Lu Yifeng from Yunnan, Mr. Lu?"

    "The next one is Lu Yifeng." Fatty Lu nodded.  The man immediately beat him down, and said respectfully: "The general of the Suo family, Zhao Fengchun, has been waiting here for a long time by the order of my master. Please rest assured, Mr. Lu. The younger one will send someone in and ask the master to come out to greet him."on the island.  Zhou Peigong pretended to be happy and pointed at the three huts with a smile: "This is a good place to study, Mr. Lu, how about we go in and have a look?"

    "It's done." Although Fatty Lu didn't have much elegance in his body, he also felt that the huts in the pool were very elegant, so he went there with Zhou Peigong.  An inviting gesture, saying: "Lord Lu, please."

    "Lord Zhou, you're welcome." Fatty Lu said modestly, but he strode into the door honestly with his hands behind his back. After entering the door, he looked inside and saw that the three thatched huts had internal doors connected to each other. At this moment,  Suddenly a majestic boy's voice came from the inner room, "Bold, who will disturb Zhen Qingxiu's study?"

    "Zhen?" Zhou Peigong was startled, rushed to the inner door and went to the inner room to have a look, immediately knelt down on both knees, kowtowed and said: "My humble minister Zhou Chang, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

    After saluting, Zhou Peigong hurriedly turned around and waved to Fatty Lu, urging him: "Master Lu, what are you still doing? Your holy driver is here, why don't you come to salute?"

    After only one glance into the inner room of the thatched hut, Zhou Peigong immediately knelt down on his knees and kowtowed three times towards the inner room.  What are you doing in a daze? The holy driver is here, why don't you come over to salute?"

    "Kang Xiaomazi is here? The voice is wrong?" Fatty Lu was a little dazed, and he really didn't react for a while.

    "Master Lu, hurry up." Zhou Peigong urged anxiously again.  At this time, there was a sudden sound of the door, and four men with knives rushed in, shouting together: "What are you doing? How dare you disturb the Holy Driver, what crime do you have?"

    "What happened?" The half-boy's voice sounded from the room again.

    "Back to the emperor, for some reason, these two guys actually entered the garden, and the guards at the gate of the garden did not stop them." A man respectfully replied: "Please rest assured, the emperor, this servant will send someone to check the gate of the garden."  The crime of dereliction of duty by the guards will immediately take down these two guys who disturbed the holy car."

    "Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Fatty Lu suddenly realized, and hurried to kneel beside Zhou Peigong, kowtowed and shouted: "My minister Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Qujing County, Yunnan Province, has met my emperor, long live, long live, long live! I don't know that the emperor is here  , disturbed the holy car, the crime deserves death, please spare the life of the emperor!"

    As he said that, Fatty Lu also kowtowed, his forehead pressed against the icy ground, with great sincerity and fear.  At this time, the half-grown boy shouted: "You are Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Qujing County? Raise your head and let me see what you look like."

    "Cover." Fatty Lu respectfully agreed, and raised his head cautiously.  And what appeared in front of Fatty Lu was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old half-grown boy who was sitting next to a charcoal basin and reading a book.  The glazing is clean, not to mention pockmarks, not even a single freckle.

    When Fatty Lu looked up at the half-grown boy, Zhou Peigong, who was kneeling beside him, kept stealing eyes on his expression.  It's a pity that after looking at it, apart from the due fear and trembling on Fatty Lu's face, there is no look of surprise or doubt on Fatty Lu's face. Even the blistered goldfish eyes on Fatty Lu's fat face¡ªat least according to Zhou Peigong's evaluation¡ª  ¡ªIn the middle, none of them showed the slightest abnormal expression, some were just nervous and timid, as if a seventh-rank official really saw the emperor standing in front of him.

    "This fat man really doesn't know the emperor? But what was he doing in a daze just now?" Zhou Peigong thought about it, and then winked at the half-grown boy, telling him to continue.

    The half-grown boy understood, put down the scroll in his hand, walked in front of Fatty Lu with his hands behind his back, deliberately bent down slightly so that Fatty Lu could see his face clearly, and said with a smile: "Master Lu, I have admired your name for a long time, the Fujian case  , because of you, I killed a first-rank official, and killed two fourth-rank officials! Today, I finally took a break from my busy schedule to read some books in Mr. Suoetusuo¡¯s back garden, and you broke in again  Alarmed, are you guilty?"

    "The humble minister deserves to die, and the humble minister deserves ten thousand deaths!" Fatty Lu pleaded guilty repeatedly, and then pulled Zhou Peigong to this side in an extremely disrespectful manner, and argued: "But the emperor's forgiveness, disturbing the emperor's study, is really not a humble minister.  His idea! It was Mr. Zhou Changzhou. Originally, this minister came to Mr. Suo¡¯etu¡¯s house as a guest, and he listened to the opera well.  Entering the thatched hut where you study, Your Majesty, please check clearly."

    "Hey, Mr. Lu, why are you like this?" Zhou Peigong became anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly cupped his hands to the half-grown boy and said, "The emperor clearly checked, but the minister did not do this. It was Mr. Lu who brought the minister into the house."  In the garden, it was he who brought his humble ministers into this thatched hut and disturbed your studies, Your Majesty."

    "Fart!" Fatty Lu was furious, grabbed Zhou Peigong's neck, and roared angrily: "You talk nonsense again, and I will strangle you to death immediately to make amends to the emperor!"

    Not to mention, Fatty Lu's strength is really not small. Although Zhou Peigong, who was born as a frail scholar, struggled desperately, he couldn't get rid of Fatty Lu's fat hand no matter what.  Fortunately, the half-grown boy shouted in time: "Bold, in front of me, do you still want to kill someone? Come, let me take this Lu Yifeng down!"

    "Cover." Several young guards agreed together, swarmed up, hurriedly pulled Fatty Lu and Zhou Peigong away, and pushed Fatty Lu to the ground.  The half-grown boy breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged quick glances with Zhou Peigong, and shouted sharply: "Lu Yifeng, how dare you dare to be so rude in front of me? Your brain is really not good!"Fatty Lu fell into the water, but the four guards disguised as servants of the Suo'etu Mansion did not dare to hide it, so they hurriedly told the whole story.  After hearing the story, Suoetu was dumbfounded, and pulled the half-grown boy and his youngest brother Suo Mintai in front of him, and asked with a livid face: "Just now you really pretended to be the emperor to test Lu  Your Excellency? Made him commit suicide by diving into the water?"

    Suo Mintai timidly glanced at the black-faced second brother, then at Kong Sizhen beside him who was frowning, not daring to hide it, nodded, pointed at Kong Sizhen and whispered: "Si Gege asked me to do this, she  Said that if Lu Yifeng's details are found out, the emperor will definitely reward our Suo family heavily. Also, Si Gege promised to give it to me "

    "Bastard!" Suo Etu slapped his younger brother's face fiercely, and said furiously: "You bastard, you have caused disaster for our Suo family!"

    "Damn Mintai!" Suo Mintai knelt down with a plop, kowtowed desperately, and said with a mournful face: "But I really don't want to do it. It was Si Gege and Master Zhou who insisted on me doing this, and said that there would never be a second  I personally know that they will be responsible for any accidents, and my younger brother was confused for a while, so he agreed. But I really didn't expect, I didn't expect this matter to become so big!"

    "Si Gege, what do you say about this?" Suo'etu finally turned his gaze to Kong Sizhen, and roared with a livid face: "You lured my younger brother who just turned thirteen to do such a thing, and now things have become like this,  Tell yourself, how do you explain to our Suo family?"

    Kong Sizhen had nothing to say, but turned his angry eyes to Zhou Peigong, and said in his heart that you did a good job!  Zhou Peigong's legs went limp, and he knelt down on his knees with a plop, and crawled on the ground tremblingly, not even daring to take a breath.

    "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am wronged, I am wrongedah." At this moment, Fatty Lu finally woke up slowly, opened his eyes, and immediately rolled down from the stone, crawling and crawling to the rope.  Next to Min Tai, he kowtowed repeatedly and wailed loudly: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged by this humble minister, I have been wronged! Your Majesty¡ª!"

    "Master Lu, get up quickly." Suo'etu was in a hurry, and quickly pulled Fatty Lu up, and explained profusely: "Master Lu, you have been fooled, he is not the emperor, he is my youngest brother Suo Etu."  Min Tai, he was lying to you just now, lying to you."

    "Isn't he the emperor?!" Fatty Lu's body shook, his face was full of disbelief, and he murmured: "Then, then he"

    "He's really not the emperor." Suo'etu said with a mournful face: "Master Lu, you go back to the room with me first, and I will apologize to you and explain to you slowly."

    "Oh, so he's not the emperor." Fatty Lu felt relieved, his fat head shook, he fell headlong to the ground, and passed out again

    "Hurry up, take Master Lu back to the room! Please doctor, please hurry doctor¡ª!"

    Amidst Suo'etu's heart-piercing screams, Kong Sizhen walked up to Zhou Peigong with a livid face, raised his palm, and slapped Zhou Peigong with all his strength, causing blood to spurt from Zhou Peigong's mouth, and then Kong Sizhen raised his plump thigh again  , and kicked Zhou Peigong hard in the chest again, causing Zhou Peigong to fall on his back.  Kong Sizhen was still puzzled, and rushed to Zhou Peigong's side again, kicked and kicked Zhou Peigong, and cursed: "Slave dog, look at your bad idea, let's see how you end up this time! This time, my old lady, I was given by you!"  It's miserable!"

    "Gege, spare me, you deserve to die, you deserve to die!" Zhou Peigong wailed and rolled to dodge, while looking at Fatty Lu who was lifted up by Suofu's servants with hatred from the corner of his eyes.  If it's a bitter plan, this Fatty Lu is really terrible! In such a short period of time, he can see through all my intentions, and he can immediately follow the plan, use the same way, return to the other body, and in turn drive me into  The hopeless situation beyond redemption!"

    "It's terrible! This Fatty Lu is far more scheming and vicious than me¡ª!"

    "Come here! Drag this dog slave down and tie him up! After a while, my mother will personally escort him to plead guilty to the emperor!"  More chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 55 Ginger is still old and spicy (ask for a monthly ticket)

    ?

    Originally, I just wanted to test whether Fatty Lu really knew Kang Xiaomazi, and to test whether Fatty Lu's loyalty to the emperor and love for the Qing Dynasty shown these days is true or not. Zhou Peigong carefully designed a fake emperor's drama.  Try to find out the hypocrisy of Fatty Lu, and get the ironclad evidence that Fatty Lu has been deceiving for a long time, then everything is easy to say, pretending to be the emperor is also meritorious, and he can also take the opportunity to track down the truth of Fu Honglie's case and put Fatty Lu to death.

    If you can't find out, Zhou Peigong and Kong Sizhen are not afraid, anyway, the play is performed in the back garden of Suo'etu Mansion, where there are no outsiders, and the idlers in the garden have been kicked out.  Not to mention Suo Mintai, who played the fake emperor, nor to the four servants of Suofu who pretended to be bodyguards and fed them with silver.

    Although the abacus was good, what Zhou Peigong and Kong Sizhen never imagined in their dreams was that Fatty Lu was more ruthless than them, and worse than them.  The loyal emperor, who had to die, loved the Qing Dynasty's good shows, and suddenly magnified the matter. Not only did everyone in the Suo'etu Mansion know the trouble, but it also completely drove Zhou Peigong and Kong Sizhen into a desperate situation.  ¡ª¡ªAfter all, impersonating the emperor is a capital crime of beheading and destroying one's family. No matter how favored Kong Sizhen is in front of Kang Mazi, it is impossible to completely cover up this matter.

    When things got to this point, Suo'etu, who didn't know beforehand, was furious and fearful, of course he hurriedly put all the blame on Kong Sizhen and Zhou Peigong, and at the same time had someone tie up Suo Mintai and personally escort him to the hospital.  He went to the palace and surrendered himself, hoping that Kang Mazi would see that he was the uncle of his wife Hesheli, and spare the life of his young and ignorant brother - at least, don't involve himself.  Kong Sizhen didn't dare to be negligent over there, and ordered Zhou Peigong to be tied up, and hurriedly escorted Zhou Peigong to the palace to plead guilty, so as to minimize his own guilt.  Only poor Mrs. Lu, the fat man who was just fished out of the water, was thrown alone in Suo'etu's house, and his life and death were unpredictable.

    Our Fatty Lu, Mr. Lu, is wronged, bitter, pitiful!

    Suo'etu is not stupid. In order to reduce the charges as much as possible and save the life of the youngest brother, relying on his relationship as a palace guard, he sent the news to his niece Queen Hesheli who was only fourteen years old in advance, so that Hesheli  Li hurried to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to blow some pillow wind, trying to make Kang Xiaomazi lose his temper less, so that he could have more hope.  And Hesheli was frightened when he heard the news, so he had an idea, and he didn't go directly to Kang Xiaomazi's most respected Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, begging her to come forward to intercede, but in this way, after a little delay  At the same time, the sign that Suo'etu and Kong Sizhen begged to meet was sent to Kang Xiaomazi who was practicing cloth with the young guards in the cloth warehouse at the same time.

    "Strange, didn't I ask Suo Etu and Kong Sizhen to win over Lu Yifeng in the Suo Mansion today? Why did you just hand over the sign to ask for an interview?" Wiping the sweat from his face, Xiao Mazi asked doubtfully, "Could it be successful? But  It¡¯s not even past noon now, so it shouldn¡¯t be so fast, right?¡±

    "Your Majesty, it shouldn't be about this." Zhang Wanqiang, the chief eunuch of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, said tremblingly: "I heard from the servant who came in to report just now that Mr. Suoetusuo tied his youngest brother, Suo Mintai, with a rope, and said he was coming.  Plead guilty to the emperor. Kong Sizhen and Si Gege also tied a seventh-rank official named Zhou Chang with a rope, and they also said that they came to plead guilty to the emperor."

    "What? They're all here to apologize?" Xiao Mazi suspected that he had misheard his ears, and said in surprise, "What are they up to? That Zhou Chang, Si Gege praised and recommended him in front of me yesterday, why today?  Just tie him up to plead guilty? And Suo Etu, he took the wrong medicine and tied his own brother to plead guilty? What did Suo Mintai do?"

    "Your Majesty, Master Suo and Si Gege didn't explain clearly, so I can't reply." Zhang Wanqiang replied truthfully, and then said cautiously: "Slave asks the emperor, should I let the servant ask clearly, or let them come in directly?"

    "Both Suo'etu and Kong Sizhen are not people who make a fuss out of a molehill. It seems that something big must have happened." Xiao Mazi suddenly had a bad feeling, and hurriedly said: "Put in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and then send someone to take Suo'er  Tu and Kong Sizhen are both declared to enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

    All the guards and eunuchs agreed together, and after a while, Kang Xiaomazi changed into a fake dragon robe, and led a large group of guards and eunuchs to attack the Hall of Mental Cultivation in a mighty manner. As soon as he entered the hall, Suo Etu and Kong Sizhen personally escorted him  Suo Mintai and Zhou Peigong came in together, and the two gangs of four were far apart, and kowtowed together and said: "I kowtow to the emperor, my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

    Xiao Mazi took a closer look, and saw that Suo Mintai brought by Suo'etu was indeed tightly bound by a thick hemp rope around his wrist, and there were clearly visible tear stains and a red five-finger mark on his face? 

    Xiao Zhuang didn't answer directly, but beckoned Xiao Mazi to the front, and whispered in Xiao Mazi's ear: "The Suo'etu family and Oboi are sworn enemies. Kong Sizhen is in Guangxi to watch over Monk Wu Sangui for you. It's gratifying. If you cure him  Their crime is to cut off their own arms and wings, hurt their loved ones, and speed up their enemies, understand?"

    "Grandson understands." Xiao Mazi lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "But the crime of impersonating the emperor is so serious, grandson has to explain to the world, otherwise, will there be fake emperors everywhere in the future?"

    Xiaozhuang no longer spoke to Xiao Mazi, but turned to Suo'etu and asked, "Master Suo, I heard that your younger brother likes to sing operas, is that true?"

    "Min Tai likes to sing opera?" Suo Etu was confused at first, then suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "What the Empress Dowager Lafayette said is very true. Min Tai really liked opera since he was a child. He is simply an opera idiot.  Any character thinks he is who he is. Today he sang "Dragon Robe" in the garden because he was too involved in the drama and said something that shouldn't be said. It happened that both Zhou Chang and Lu Yifeng and Mr. Lu misunderstood  , because he is really the emperor, so such a joke was made."

    "Lafayette is holy." Zhou Peigong was not stupid, and immediately kowtowed and said: "I have never seen the emperor before my humble position, so today I encountered the self-proclaimed words of young master Suo when he sang, and misunderstood his identity, which led to the following  The misunderstanding, I should die, damn it!"

    "You think you are smart, you mistakenly identify the Holy One, you can avoid the death penalty, but you can't escape the death penalty." Xiao Zhuang said calmly: "The Ai family sentenced you to twenty sticks, dismissed you from your post, and sent you to Guangxi to be exiled. Are you convinced?"

    "Wei Chen surrendered to the crime, thank you Lafayette for your kindness, and thank the emperor for not killing you." Zhou Peigong happily agreed, and kowtowed desperately.

    "Your Majesty, do you think it is appropriate for the Ai family to settle the case and punish them like this?" Xiao Zhuang turned to Xiao Mazi and asked.

    "Grandmother's judgment is extremely true, the judgment is extremely true." Xiao Mazi nodded repeatedly, and then said: "But Lin Tianqing and Lu Yifeng were present at the time, they"

    "Your Majesty, Your Majesty¡ª!" At this moment, a young guard suddenly stumbled in outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but it was Xiao Mazi's extremely trusted bodyguard, Cao Yin.  Panting and kowtowed, he said, "Report to the Emperor, something is wrong! Your Western teacher, Father Nan Huairennan, was killed in his church!"

    "What?" Xiao Mazi jumped up suddenly, and shouted, "Who killed it? Did the murderer catch it?"

    "Father Nan was discovered after he died for nearly half an hour, and no one saw the murderer." Cao Yin wiped his sweat and said, "However, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture reported that he found information on the identity of the murderer on the body of Father Nan."  The key evidence!"

    "What evidence?" Xiao Mazi asked loudly.

    "Going back to the emperor, it's a waist badge." Cao Yin kowtowed tremblingly and said, "The waist badge of the guards in Ao Bai Ao's middle hall was found in the hands of Reverend Nan! It may be that when Reverend Nan was assassinated, he died.  It was torn off from the murderer!"

 Chapter 56: Dangerously Causing a Catastrophe

    ?

    (ps: The two-in-one 7,000-word chapter is updated, ask for a monthly ticket, not a bonus, just don't be too embarrassing on the monthly ticket list.)

    Nan Huairen's assassination and death was like pouring a ladle of cold water into a pan full of boiling oil and emitting green smoke, causing the seemingly calm situation in the capital to explode with a bang!

    Everyone knows that Nan Huairen was convicted by Oboi because of the calendar dispute, and that his companion Tang Ruowang died in the prison.  Luckily, only one of them stayed in the capital temporarily due to illness; at the same time, because of the dispute over the calendar, Nan Huairen greatly offended Yang Guangxian, the chief inspector of the Qintian Supervisor, and Wu Mingxuan, the deputy supervisor, and forged a mortal feud!  Right now, these two masters are living happily under the protection of Aobai's wings. The case of Nan Huairen's assassination, even if they don't want to become complicated and sensitive, can't do it.

    Compared with the background of the case, the case itself is not complicated at all. It was just past noon on the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month in the sixth year of Qingkang Mazi, and it was almost the same time when Fatty Lu was just fished out of the pond in Suofu garden.  , because Nan Huairen didn't come out to eat, Li Fugui, a handyman who was helping in the Xuanwumen Church, ran to Nan Huairen's room under the observatory to call him, but Li Fugui called him at the door for a long time, but Nan Huairen didn't agree  , Li Fugui saw that the door of the room was ajar again, so he opened the door and went in. He saw Nan Huairen lying on his back on the bed, covered with a quilt, as if he was fast asleep.  Li Fugui went to the bedside and yelled again, but Nan Huairen still refused to move. When Li Fugui went to shake his body again, he realized that Nan Huairen's body was freezing and cold, completely frozen.

    Shocked, Li Fugui yelled and rushed out to call people. As a result, a large group of believers and priests rushed into Nan Huairen's room, and then lifted Nan Huairen's quilt for a while.  When I looked at it, I realized that priest Nanhuairennan, a loyal child of God, a devout follower of Jesus, a good son of the European people, a good friend of the people of Luocha Kingdom, and a good teacher of Emperor Kangxi, has been called by the Lord and will be forever  Leaving this filthy secular world¡ªto be precise, there was a dagger stuck in the vest of Priest Nan, and he was killed by a knife in the heart.

    Such a big incident happened, of course the people in the church had to report the case to the government, so that the government could arrest the murderer, and coincidentally, the current Governor of Shuntian was none other than Fatty Lu¡¯s good friend Lin Tianqing, Master Lin in Yunnan.  Li Tianyu, a contender for the position of governor!  In this way, the matter inevitably became a little more complicated, because when Li Tianyu led the autopsy and investigation of the case with the yamen servant and Wu Zuo, he found that Nan Huairen had received two waves of guests on the first day.  In addition to the mysterious guest who was headed by a little pockmark, there was also a wave of Zhishi governor Lin Tianqing and a seventh-rank sesame official named Lu.

    In this way, it is difficult not to hear Li Tianyu, who is about to be promoted and grab Lin Tianqing's job, not to murmur in his heart¡ªcouldn't that old bastard Lin Tianqing intentionally make this matter disgusting to me?  Nan Huairen happened on the ground that I was in charge of, and his status was very special. Could it be that the old man wanted me to be accused of being incompetent and ineffective in governing the situation, and ruin my promotion to the governor of Yunnan, right?

    Fortunately, Wu Zuo's autopsy results diverted poor Master Lin's suspicion. During the autopsy, Wu Zuo found that there was no wound on Nan Huairen's body except for the fatal knife.  A guard's badge from Ao Bai'ao's Zhongtang Mansion was found¡ªanalyzed from the location where the knife was inserted, priest Nan probably tore it from the murderer when he was stabbed in the back with his mouth covered.  Maybe he didn't realize it in the rush, so he just moved the corpse of Nan Huairen to the bed, covered it with a quilt to pretend to be sleeping, so that the people in the church could not quickly find out that Nan Huairen was dead, so as to gain time to escape.

    After coming to this conclusion and seeing this waist badge, Lord Li was completely dumbfounded. He hurriedly ordered the government officials to protect the scene and arrest suspicious suspects, and personally brought this waist badge to the palace to report¡ª¡ª  There was no way, as Kang Mazi's confidant, Li Tianyu knew some inside information, and knew that Kang Mazi trusted and valued Nan Huairen extremely.  Li Tianyu, who was about to be promoted to governor of Yunnan, would be a fool if he didn't report to Kang Mazi and ask for instructions.

    The result was very natural. After hearing the news, Kang Mazi inevitably became furious, and ordered Li Tianyu to find out the murderer within three days, bring the real murderer to justice, and avenge his Western teacher.  Li Tianyu said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, it's not that this slave doesn't try his best, it's just that this case is so special that it has already been involved in Ao Bai's Ao Zhongtang's house. If the slave wants to investigate the case, he must pass the test of Ao Zhongtang."  ah."

    "No matter who is involved, you have to investigate for me!" Xiao Mazi slapped the dragon case and roared.

    "Thatthat slave is bold." Li Tianyu trembled, Lin Tianqing said happily again with a smile on his face: "There is another good thing. The old man just heard the news that Li Tianyu was beaten in front of the emperor! Yesterday we went to visit the priest of Nanhuairennan, and I don't know who was caught in the church.  He was assassinated, and a badge of a guard of the Aozhong Hall was found on the body. The case is extremely complicated. Li Tianyu happens to be the current Governor of Shuntian Prefecture. He should be in charge of this case. This old boy, I am afraid that he is already in the  Cry your nose!"

    "Hey, it turns out that the current Governor of Shuntian Mansion is Li Tianyu. Lin Tianqing is really lucky." Fatty Lu sneered in his heart, but said in surprise on his face, "What? Father Nan was killed? Who did it?  ?¡±

    "How do I know?" Lin Tianqing shrugged his shoulders, and then said with a smile: "Master Lu, if you are not in his position, don't seek a position. This matter has nothing to do with us, so let's ignore him. Anyway, this time, it is enough for Li  That kid from Tianyu has drunk a pot, he wants to be the governor of Yunnan, in his next life!"

    "Why is it none of our business?" Fatty Lu said in a hurry, "Father Nan is dead, what about my English version of "Elements of Geometry"?"

    "Lord Lu, what are you in a hurry for? He is not the only Western missionary in the Qing Dynasty!" Lin Tianqing patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Master Lu, as long as the old man can get his wish and serve as the governor of Yunnan again, I will definitely help you get a set of English missionaries."  This version of "Elements of Geometry" is for you to fulfill your long-cherished wish!"

    "But, why did Father Nan die?" Fatty Lu frowned, sighed again, and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it slowly. Tomorrow, I will ask someone to buy some money for paper candles and incense, and go to his grave to pay homage.  I'll ask you later." After finishing speaking, Fatty Lu sighed again, and then said: "Master Lin, I have invited you here because I have some good news to tell, the emperor has issued an order to summon me tomorrow.  "

    "Really? Congratulations to Mr. Lu!" Lin Tianqing was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to say: "Master Lu, what about the old man? The emperor appreciates you so much. When you meet the emperor tomorrow, how do you plan to recommend him to the emperor?"  old man?"

    "I have already thought about the solution." Fatty Lu said seriously: "I have invited Lord Lin over tonight, just to ask Lord Lin one last time, have you made up your mind? You plan to sacrifice Prince Pingxi's military salary in exchange for your Yunnan  The position of governor, this step is going forward, but once the bow is fired, there will be no turning back!"

    "Lord Lu, there is no one else here, so let me tell you something from your heart." Lin Tianqing gritted his teeth and said, "Prince Pingxi and Prince Pingxi are really kind to this old man, but they are just princes, not emperors.  There is a way to change the decision made by the emperor! As for the old man, he will be sixty next year. If he misses this opportunity, he will never have a chance to come back in this life.  Prince Wang once."

    "However, as you said, Master Lu, this old man wants to please the emperor and not offend Prince Pingxi, so this old man will follow your instructions and report to the emperor that the minimum salary of Prince Pingxi is 3.5 million.  Two grains of silver¡ªthis point, Lord Lu, please rest assured that this old man, no matter whether it caused the loss of Prince Pingxi¡¯s military salary or not, the old man has also done something against the Lord, and the emperor will never let the old man go  In the future, I will definitely force the old man to do countless things to offend the lord. This old man is very clear in his heart!"

    "In this way, the old man's handle is in your hands, Mr. Lu, so you can rest assured, Mr. Lu, that the old man will never sell you. And so, Mr. Lu, the old man also hopes that you can do your best to help the old man get it.  After this position is completed, this old man will never treat you badly."

    "Since my lord has made up my mind, I understand the humble position." Fatty Lu nodded, and said solemnly: "Master Lin, please rest assured that if you get the post of governor of Yunnan as you wish, the humble position will work under you.  Life will be easier, and I will do my best."

    "Then, please!" Lin Tianqing was overjoyed and clasped his fists at Fatty Lu.

    Fatty Lu returned the salute, and said: "Master Lin, you can just wait for the good news, the humble job is ready, and there will be news within a few days."

    Lin Tianqing was even more delighted, and had a long private discussion with Fatty Lu before he got up to say goodbye and went back to his room to rest.  But after Lin Tianqing left, Fatty Lu didn't rush to call Xiao Erlang, who was eating wind and snow outside, to wait for his dog legs to enter the room, but got up and pushed open the door of the inner room.  smile.

    (ps: A wordy word, ask for a monthly ticket, friends, please give two of the monthly tickets for the great gods to the pure newcomer wolf.)

    Fatty Lu opened the door of his bedroom, just as Wu Yingxiong turned around with his hands behind his back, and smiled at Fatty Lu with a calm expression, as if he hadn't heard Lin Tianqing's words of betraying the Pingxi Palace just now.  While Fatty Lu secretly admired his calmness and self-cultivation, he also smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, now you should know why the humble official invited you here, right?"

    Wu Yingxiong nodded, expressing his understanding, and said with a smile: "If I hadn't heard and seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that Lin Tianqing would even have the idea of ??selling out the Pingxi Palace for the mere position of Governor of Yunnan!  "

    Speaking of this, Wu Yingxiong sighed, shook his head, and then said: "Decades of friendship, as early as the reign of Chongzhen in the previous Ming Dynasty, my father and king were on duty under Hong Chengchou with him, and at that time we were already brothers and sisters."  In the Battle of Songshan, my father took him out of the siege, retreated to Ningyuan City, and saved his life. Over the years, our Wu family has never treated him badly. This time he went to Beijing to act as the governor of Yunnan.  I also gave him more than fifty thousand taels of silver, but in the end, I got such a result."

    After finishing speaking, Wu Yingxiong shook his head again, with a gloomy expression on his face, "If my royal father knows the news, I don't know how sad and sad he will be."

    "Your Majesty, what Senior Lin did is very chilling." Fatty Lu said sincerely, "But it's barely excusable, as he himself said, he will be sixty soon, and if he misses this opportunity again  , there is no hope of a comeback. For himself and for his descendants, it is not surprising that he has such thoughts. The humble official also hopes that the prince can see him for the sake of his sixtieth age, and he does not  For the sake of not really doing something wrong to the lord, forgive him this time, and continue to pretend not to know about it."

    "Forgive him this time?" Wu Yingxiong squinted at Fatty Lu, and said, "You mean, as long as there are extenuating circumstances, it doesn't matter even if you betray Pingxi Palace?"

    "Of course not, of course the traitor who betrayed the Pingxi Palace cannot be let go." Fatty Lu shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "It's just that I feel that it is more beneficial to the current situation for the prince and the prince to pretend not to know about it.  More beneficial."

    "How do you say that? Tell me in detail." Wu Yingxiong raised his eyebrows.

    "My son is clear, the reason why Senior Lin has a different heart is because of the position of governor of Yunnan." Fatty Lu said slowly: "As for this position, officials at all levels of the Jiuqing Kedao were recommending Senior Lin to take over, my son.  You and the prince also very much hope that he can take over this position, but why does the emperor not let Senior Lin go to Yunnan? ¡ª¡ªSenior Lin has already told the humble official about this, because the emperor is worried about Senior Lin and knows that Lin  Senior is loyal to the prince and the prince, and worried that senior Lin will only listen to the prince and the prince, not the emperor."

    "The lowly position said something rebellious and immoral. From this, it can be inferred that the emperor is worried about Senior Lin who is loyal to the prince. Naturally, he is also worried about the prince and the prince. Therefore, no matter who is the governor of Yunnan, there is only one purpose, to monitor and restrain the prince.  Under such circumstances, one side is the governor of Yunnan who directly refuses to listen to the prince, and the other is the governor of Yunnan who is at least superficially loyal to the prince. The lesser of two evils, it is better to continue to support Senior Lin to take over the governor of Yunnan!  Defense, it is easy to dodge with a clear spear, I believe the prince will not fail to weigh the pros and cons of this."

    "And if Senior Lin can take over as the governor of Yunnan, there is another great advantage, that is, he can spread some news or things about the prince and the prince to the ears of the emperor and the court through his insider.  , please make a clear decision."

    When Fatty Lu was talking eloquently, Wu Yingxiong had been listening attentively, without interrupting or showing any emotions.  Until Fatty Lu finished speaking, Wu Yingxiong pondered for a long time, and then said: "Master Lu, I have always been very strange about one thing. The emperor and Ao Zhongtang appreciate you so much and offer you such a high price.  Have you ever been as tempted as Lin Tianqing?"

    "In terms of face, the prince and the second prince have the kindness to know the humble job, and Mr. Mao Xia has the kindness to teach the humble job. The root of the humble job is in Yunnan, in the Pingxi Palace. After leaving the Pingxi Palace, the humble job is like a fish out of water.  It won't be a few days." Fatty Lu smiled, and said with a wry smile: "There is another word to say sorry to the prince and the prince, the humble job offered to the prince to raise the thief's self-respect, even if a little bit of wind leaks out, the humble job will have to suffer  I can't walk around!"

    "Hehe, that's how it is. No wonder my father asked you to help me with such a big matter as my military salary." Wu Yingxiong smiled and said, "Master Lu, you are a gift from heaven to our Wu family."In the middle of the hall, the smell is of course unpleasant. Seeing no one around, Fatty Lu wanted to move his legs and feet, and by the way, visit how luxurious and extravagant Xiao Mazi¡¯s Hall of Mental Cultivation is, and how much blood and sweat was wasted by the Han people, but  After thinking about it, Fatty Lu warned himself again in his stomach: "Don't act recklessly, what you want to play now is Lu Yifeng, a loyal and loyal man in the Qing Dynasty, and if you want to play it, you have to act like it, and play it to the end! It's not Li Wei, and it's not Li Wei.  Ji Xiaolan¡ªwhat's more, those mite dramas are also used to paint Kang Mazi and the dwarf."

    "The emperor is here¡ª!"

    "The Empress Dowager has arrived¡ª¡ª!"

    Finally, just when Fatty Lu was kneeling until his legs were already numb, the eunuch's male duck shouted loudly at last from behind the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Mazi was wearing a five-clawed fake dragon robe, a fake dragon crown on his head, and a fake dragon crown on his chest.  Dai Dongzhu and the court beads made of bright yellow ribbons, personally and Lagu Su Ma supported the old witch of Xiaozhuang on the left and right, and walked from the back hall into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.  Fatty Lu cursed a few words in his heart, without even raising his head, he directly saluted and said loudly: "My minister, Lu Yifeng, the prefect of Qujing County, kowtows to my emperor, long live, long live, long live! The empress dowager is a thousand years old!"

    "That's right, this fat man knows the rules." Xiao Mazi glanced at Fatty Lu who was kneeling obediently in the middle of the hall with satisfaction, and tried his best to shout in a majestic voice: "Excuse me, let's be flat."

    "Thank you Your Majesty." Fatty Lu agreed, but he knelt there and refused to move, his shoulders kept shrugging, and he gradually let out a cry that was worse than killing a pig.  Xiao Mazi was amazed and couldn't help asking: "Lu Aiqing, why are you crying?"

    "Back to the emperor, I finally got to see Longyan today, and my heart is so excited It's hard to handle." Fatty Lu still didn't look up, but lay there choked up and said: "When I was young, my strict father had repeatedly urged Weichen  I must study to become an official, honor my ancestors Today, I finally fulfilled my parents' entrustment, and entered an official position to face the king, but my strict father and loving mother are no longer alive. I miss the kindness of my parents' upbringing.  " As he said that, Fatty Lu burst into tears, and the voice, which was worse than killing a pig, echoed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

    As I said before, Xiao Zhuang asked Xiao Mazi to order Kong Sizhen to investigate all the eighteen generations of Fatty Lu's ancestors. Kong Sizhen also mentioned in the report that Fatty Lu's cheap father forced Fatty Lu to become an official.  Because of this, Xiao Mazi unavoidably glanced at his grandmother proudly, and thought, how is it, my eyesight is not bad, right?  Lu Yifeng is my rare loyal minister, filial son and capable minister in the Qing Dynasty!  Xiaozhuang over there remained calm, not knowing what immoral ideas he was planning in his mind.

    "Okay, don't cry, I think your filial piety is commendable, I forgive your crime of disrespect." Xiao Mazi smiled and said: "Stay flat, raise your head, let me and Lafayette take a closer look at you  .¡±

    "Thank you, Lord Long En." Fatty Lu agreed with a choked voice, wiped his tears with his sleeve, finally stood up, and raised his fat face with red and swollen eye circles.  And when Fatty Lu saw Xiao Mazi's appearance and talent, the expression on his face was as wonderful as possible¡ªfirst, a pair of fat eyes, which Zhou Peigong praised as goldfish eyes, stared bigger than copper bells, fat  The muscles on his face stiffened, and then his mouth was wide enough to fit a fist in, and then he screamed like a pig, "Dragon¡ª¡ª! Mr. Long!"

    "That's right, it's me." Xiao Mazi nodded with a smile and said, "Lu Aiqing, this is not the first time we have met."

    "Long live the emperor, damn the humble minister!" Fatty Lu howled, knelt down again with a plop, and kowtowed desperately.

    "Lu Aiqing, why did you kneel down again? What is the crime?" Xiao Mazi was both proud and satisfied, and asked pretendingly puzzled.

    "I didn't know the identity of the emperor the day before yesterday, so I said a lot of rude words in front of the emperor, which was extremely disrespectful." Fatty Lu pressed his forehead to the ground, and said tremblingly: "This minister is guilty, and he deserves death! Please forgive me, please forgive me!  punishment."

    "Get up, those who don't know are not guilty." Xiao Mazi said with a smile.

    "Wait a minute." At this time, Xiao Zhuang who had been silent all this time suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Lu Yifeng, you are so brave, do you know your crime?"

    "This minister deserves to die!" Fatty Lu, who had already stood halfway down, knelt down again with a bang, and said tremblingly, "I don't know what crime I have committed, please tell the empress dowager clearly."

    "You are guilty of deceiving the emperor." The old hag in Xiaozhuang's voice was flat, but her tone was full of murderous intent, "You knew the identity of the emperor a long time ago, but you just pretended not to know, took the opportunity to flatter and please the emperor, right?  ? From the truth, the Ai family can spare you!" (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)

 Chapter 58 Fatty Mingyue didn't shine in the ditch?

    ?

    "You are guilty of deceiving the emperor." The old hag in Xiaozhuang's voice was flat, but her tone was full of murderous intent, "You knew the identity of the emperor a long time ago, but you just pretended not to know, took the opportunity to flatter and please the emperor, right?  ? Seriously, the Ai family can spare you!"

    "Is there a flaw in mine?" Fatty Lu was shocked, but his long-tested fat face reflexively showed a puzzled look as if he saw an alien, and said in a confused way:  "Wei Chen already knew the identity of the emperor? Empress Dowager Lafayette, are you talking about Wei Chen?"

    "Grandmother, how do you know this?" Xiao Mazi was also very surprised, and turned his eyes to Xiaozhuang, thinking what happened to my grandmother, why is she like Kong Sizhen and Zhou Chang, just because Lu Yifeng is not  Pleasing to the eye?  ¡ª¡ªI think Fatty Lu is pretty good.

    Xiao Zhuang sneered and remained silent, tilted his head, and winked at La Aunt Su Ma who was next to her. La Aunt Su Ma understood, stepped forward and said lightly: "Lu Yifeng, it's useless for you to pretend. Since you don't know the emperor  The real identity of the emperor, and the two meetings with the emperor who was privately interviewed by Weifu, and the conversation for a long time, so the voice of the emperor must be very familiar - just now when you knelt down on the ground, you heard the voice of the emperor "

    "This minister thinks the emperor's voice is very familiar!" Fatty Lu is so cunning, just halfway through Lagu Su Ma's words, Fatty Lu immediately understood where his fault lies.  So Fatty Lu hurriedly interrupted Aunt Su Ma, and rushed to say: "This lady must want to say, since I feel that the voice of the emperor is very familiar, why don't you look up first?"

    "That's right." La Aunt Su Ma nodded, and said, "It's the first time you saw the emperor, and you thought the emperor's voice was familiar, but you didn't look up. Is this unreasonable? This also proves one thing,  You already knew the identity of the emperor, so you were not surprised to hear the emperor's voice."

    Xiao Mazi's face elongated a little, and only then did he realize that Fatty Lu's reaction was indeed a bit unreasonable.  But Fatty Lu was not in a hurry, just kowtowed and said: "The emperor's lesson, the empress dowager Lafayette's lesson, I have the laws of the Qing Dynasty, and I am not allowed to look up at the king. It is a crime of disrespect!" There are also "Thousand Characters"  Zai, lead step by step, and look up to the temple. It is also said that as a courtier, you must be careful in your behavior, respectful and respectful, and you must not be negligent! As an official of the court, how dare you violate ethics? So Wei  Although I feel that the voice of the emperor is quite familiar, I dare not break the law and look up."

    Fatty Lu's words were indeed sophistry, but they also made some sense, which made it impossible to refute. Therefore, after hearing Fatty Lu's explanation, Xiao Zhuang and La Aunt Su Ma were inevitably stunned and speechless for a while.  Xiao Mazi nodded slightly, agreeing with Fatty Lu's approach - after all, this bullshit law also respects his imperial dignity, Xiao Mazi can't think that Fatty Lu should despise the dignity of imperial power, can he?

    To be honest, Xiao Zhuang's suspicion of Fatty Lu was entirely based on the intuition of a politician and an old fox, and there was no real evidence at all. Just now, he managed to catch a little loophole to attack, but Fatty Lu immediately dismissed it lightly, no matter his expression,  His tone and words did not reveal any flaws, so that although Xiaozhuang's doubts were hard to dispel, he couldn't help being shaken in his heart-could he really be too suspicious and wronged this fat man Lu?  After thinking for a long time, Xiao Zhuang nodded slightly, and said: "In this way, Aijia and Su Ma really wronged you, let's get back together."

    "Thank you, Empress Dowager Lafayette." Fatty Lu kowtowed again, then stood up, and quietly looked at the famous Xiaozhuang Dayuer in history from the corner of his eyes-to Fatty Lu's great disappointment, he was over half a hundred years old.  Xiaozhuang is no longer even considered a mistress, at most she can be compared to the Empress Dowager Cixi in the photo, or even worse.

    "Lu Aiqing." When Fatty Lu stood still, Xiao Mazi immediately asked impatiently: "What is your background?"

    "Back to the emperor, I was born as a scholar." Fatty Lu replied honestly: "This year, I only passed the examination of a scholar in the Dali Mansion Court Examination. Because I know that I am not a material for reading sage books, I spent three thousand taels  Silver donated a seventh-rank official. Later, it happened that there was a vacancy in Qujing county. Thanks to the emperor's grace, Prince Pingxi favored him and gave the missing finger to this minister. Only then did the minister come to Beijing to meet his majesty, and was fortunate to see the holy face.  "

    Xiao Mazi has already memorized Fatty Lu's resume by heart. Seeing that Fatty Lu is quite honest, Xiao Mazi used this to say: "Lu Aiqing, I see that your conversation and knowledge are not like those who can't read.  Kind of person? Since you are extremely talented and have already passed the examination of scholar, why don't you continue to take the examination of Jinshi and take the dignified imperial examination? Do you have to take the shortcut of donating to become an official?"

    "Returning to the emperor, humble ministers are not talented, and you can learn those heretical tricks and ingenious obscenities, but you can learn them easily and easily." Fatty Lu said with a sad face: "Say the will!  "

    "My humble minister thanked Lord Long En!" Fatty Lu shouted excitedly, kowtowed desperately and saluted, and said with tears in his eyes: "My humble minister thanked Lord Long En, my humble minister thanked the Empress Dowager, my humble minister thanked the Empress Dowager!"

    "Don't be so busy thanking you, I still have something to ask you." Xiao Mazi interrupted Fatty Lu's thanks, and asked darkly: "Last time when you were in the official department, you were dragged to Aozhongtang by Ashara.  What did I say to you?"

    "Ao Zhongtang asked Wei Chen about Fujian." Fatty Lu didn't hesitate, and immediately told the whole story of what happened that day without hiding anything - this kind of thing that provokes Aobai and Xiao Mazi to turn against each other is also used.  There is no need to hide.  And when Fatty Lu said that Oboi cared about the military salary of Yunnan and Guizhou, Xiao Mazi and Xiaozhuang nodded again, and their impression of Oboi improved somewhat.

    Honestly explaining what happened at Oboi's house that day, Fatty Lu naturally had to mention the fact that Oboi bribed him to win him over, and when Fatty Lu said that he firmly refused, Xiao Mazi finally caught another topic and asked  : "Lu Aiqing, Ao Zhongtang recommends you to be a salt road inspector in Huaihe River and Huaihe River. This is one of the most lucrative jobs in the world, and the purpose is just to help him pay the Yunnan-Guizhou military salary from Wu Yingxiong. Why do you have to refuse?"

    "Returning to the emperor, Prince Pingxi's kindness to my minister is as great as a mountain, and my minister dare not do things like selling the owner to seek glory." Fatty Lu replied honestly.

    "Then, what if I want to win over you too? Are you willing to betray Prince Pingxi?" Xiao Mazi finally turned to the topic and asked with a smile.

    Fatty Lu hesitated, wanting to agree, but he was afraid that Xiao Mazi would be suspicious, but fortunately, Fatty Lu soon told another story, and said: "Back to the emperor, I wonder if the emperor has ever heard the story of Buguishou medicine?  People have medicine that can cure hands and feet cracking in winter. For generations, they have been washing for a living, and the annual income is only a few gold. A guest heard that he bought it for a hundred gold and offered it to the King of Wu. When Wuyue fought on the water in winter, the Wu army used this medicine.  Crack, victory over the Yue Kingdom! Wu Wangxi, crack the soil and seal the guest!"

    "Your Majesty, Ao Zhongtang is not the King of Wu." Fatty Lu showed such a cunning smile, and said flatteringly, "Your Majesty, you are the true Son of Heaven."

    Xiao Mazi and Xiaozhuang looked at each other again, both satisfied with Fatty Lu's smart choice.  At that moment Xiao Zhuang agreed with his eyes, and Xiao Mazi said, "Lu Aiqing, since you compare yourself to Wu Ke, what about your ingenuity?"

    "Return to the emperor, this prescription is not in the hands of this minister." Fatty Lu said with a mournful face: "I swear to God, so far, the son of the world has not told this minister a single word of this prescription!"

    Xiao Mazi lowered his face, secretly scolded Wu Yingxiong for being cunning, and refused to reveal the truth to his confidants.  Fatty Lu observed his words and took the opportunity to say, "However, I do know that there is another person besides the Shizi himself who knows the prescription of this medicine."

    "Who?" Xiao Mazi asked quickly.

    "Back to the emperor, it is Lin Tianqing, the former governor of Yunnan." Fatty Lu said in a deep voice: "The prince asked this minister to participate in this matter, but the prince is not at ease with this minister, and he did not let this minister get in touch with this core secret.  The minister helped to act with some documents related to this matter. But Lin Tianqing, as the former governor of Yunnan, Mr. Lin is familiar with Yunnan's military and political affairs, has rich experience, and is a family friend with Prince Pingxi, so the prince discussed this matter with him."

    "Lin Tianqing?" Xiao Mazi's expression darkened, and he immediately remembered that he had suppressed the recommendation of all the officials and resolutely rejected Lin Tianqing, and then remembered Li Tianyu, who he was optimistic about, and Li Tianyu's case in the assassination of Nan Huairen  Ugly, I couldn't help but secretly said in my heart: "It seems that I should summon this Lin Tianqing?"

    "I don't dare to hide it." Fatty Lu peeked at Xiao Mazi's face from the corner of his eye, and said cautiously: "The fact that the prescription is in Master Lin's hands is actually Master Lin who quietly told Wei Chen after he heard that the emperor had summoned the minister.  I hope that I will find an opportunity to report this to the emperor."

    "The old man also has the idea of ??selling prescriptions?" Xiao Mazi heard the sound knowingly, turned his head to look at Xiao Zhuang, but saw Xiao Zhuang turning his head to look at himself.  Eyes met, Xiao Zhuang nodded.  (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)

 Chapter 59 The Cat Crying for the Mouse

    ?

    Walking out of the resplendent but gloomy and oppressive Hall of Mental Cultivation, and looking up at the Forbidden City, where the snowflakes are flying in the corridors and the eaves and teeth are pecking high, Fatty Lu's mood is not only not cheerful, but more and more heavy and aggrieved.  The crystallization of labor and wisdom built by the people of the Chinese nation has now fallen into the hands of the barbarians. The barbarian chieftains live in it and enjoy the wealth and glory of the world;  Being servile, either kneeling and kowtowing to the barbarian Tartar chieftains three times, or being castrated as slaves and slaughtered at will - whenever Fatty Lu thinks of this, he has the feeling of killing all the Tartar barbarians in the Forbidden City  impulse!

    Hatred turns to hate, teeth turn to teeth, under the condition that his foundation is still almost equal to zero, of course Fatty Lu would not be so stupid as to turn his head and rush into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, strangle the rabbit terminator Xiao Mazi and the old witch of Xiaozhuang to death with his own hands.  In desperation, Fatty Lu could only let out a long sigh, and gritted his teeth in his heart and said, "Just wait, one day, when my strength is enough, I will definitely commit myself into this Forbidden City and kill everyone in this Forbidden City."  The Tartars and barbarians have been wiped out, and the Forbidden City will be recaptured!"

    Having said that, Fatty Lu still doesn't have a lot of ideas about how to go in the future. Although he has killed many loyal ministers and generals so far, Kang Xiaomazi still controls the financial resources of the whole country.  In terms of manpower and material resources, Wu Sangui, who he was attached to, only half-controlled the recognized poor provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, not to mention a protracted war with Kang Mazi, even a war of attrition could not afford to fight a few.  And there is another point, although that old traitor Wu Sangui is a good fighter, it is a pity that there is a serious problem with his strategic vision. In the future when San Francisco riots, whether Wu Sangui will repeat the mistakes of history is still a huge problem!  Therefore, for Fatty Lu, it is important to rely on Wu Sangui and help Wu Sangui strengthen his strength, but what is more important is that he must also have an armed force capable of protecting himself!

    It is easy to say to master an armed force that is loyal to oneself, but it is extremely difficult to do it. It is already very difficult to form an army under the eyes of the enemy and Wu Sangui.  Military expenditure is definitely not a small amount. Although Fatty Lu's family is relatively well-off, if he wants to support an army for a long time, he must also arm and train this army, which is absolutely far from enough!  In addition, there are things like dismissing bosses, developing weapons, buying weapons, and buying colleagues.  All the financial revenue is handed over to Fatty Lu, which is far from enough!

    "Damn, peasant uprisings in history relied on human lives and robbery to obtain military expenditures. There is no way to learn this, and the success rate is pitifully low." Difficult, Fatty Lu couldn't help but followed the eunuch out of the palace,  While thinking in the bottom of my heart, "The warlords rebelled or separatist regimes, Zhu Yuanzhang and Jiang Guangtou both relied on the developed agricultural business in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the old Communists relied on the sponsorship of Maozi and the distribution of land by local tyrants. These are not legal. Yan Xishan relies on Shanxi Tianfu and  For coal, Sun Dianying relied on archaeology, Monk Xu relied on sea salt and Zhaoyuan gold mines, Sichuan warlords fought to snatch salt from wells, Li Zongren in Guangxi, Longyun in Yunnan and Yang Sen in Guizhou relied on planting"

    After thinking about this, Fatty Lu himself couldn't help shivering¡ªthis method is too evil and too harmful. Although it is a method and the only method currently used by the Yunnan-Guizhou army, it is still too dangerous and notorious!  So much so that even Fatty Lu was so cruel and shameless that he had to consider the consequences and cost of this method, and he was frightened and fought again!

    Thinking about it, before he knew it, Fatty Lu had already left Huangji Gate, and was about to leave the palace from Donghua Gate via Jianting and Wenyuan Pavilion.  When passing Wenyuan Pavilion, a large group of high-ranking Qing officials came out of Wenyuan Pavilion. Seeing Fatty Lu, a seventh-rank sesame official who is not even qualified to wear court beads, coming from the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, these one or two  The senior members of the third rank couldn't help being extremely curious, and couldn't help talking about it, but the preoccupied Fatty Lu didn't bother to pay attention to them, he just bowed his hands and saluted them, and followed them out from the Donghua Gate.

    "Dare to ask this lord, but Lu Yifeng from Yunnan, lord Lu?" Fatty Lu didn't bother to pay attention to this group of officials, but some of them like to have hot faces and cold buttocks, and among them is the second-rank who is wearing regular second-rank clothes.  The official stopped Fatty Lu with a smile.

    "The humble job is Lu Yifeng." Fatty Lu bowed his hands and looked at the second-rank official curiously. He found that he was thirty-four or five years old, with a square face and big ears, but he must have never met him.  Fatty Lu tentatively asked back: "Dare to ask this lord, what is your name?"

    "Pearl, Nalashi." The second-rank official replied with a smile.

    "It turns out to be Master Mingzhu Ming, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and a scholar of the Hongwen Academy!" Fatty Lu was taken aback.Then, I instigated Fatty Lu to knock the bones, suck the marrow and scrape the ground, and just asked a few symbolic words, then invited Fatty Lu to the sedan chair, and carried Fatty Lu to Xuanwumen Church with Mingzhu¡ªpoor bearer!

    The sedan chair creaked and arrived at Xuanwumen Church. The church where the murder case had just occurred had already been blocked and surrounded by the guards of Shuntian Prefecture, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.  But for Fatty Lu who was escorted by Mingzhu, there was no problem at all. He led a few accomplices and lackeys who were also murderers behind Mingzhu, and swaggered into the church courtyard.  And at the entrance of the church, several officials came out from the church to greet Mingzhu.

    "My lord Wang, my lord Li, how did your investigation go?" Mingzhu asked the two leading officials impatiently.

    "Back to Mingxiang, I have led the guards of Shuntian Mansion to investigate for a long time, but I still haven't found any clues." The unlucky Shuntian Mansion Yin Li Tianyu Master Li said dejectedly: "The only thing that is certain is that the person who killed the priest Nan  I am very familiar with the terrain of the church, so I was able to sneak into the church without anyone noticing, and then escaped without anyone noticing, without alarming anyone in the church."

    "Another point is that the person who killed Father Nan was probably a veteran. He killed him with one stab, straight into the heart, and didn't use a second stab." Another middle-aged black and thin man in a third-rank official uniform said calmly: "Besides, the next  The officials also found an important clue, the dagger that killed Priest Nan came from the workshop of the capital camp, usually only soldiers in the army or powerful guards can have it, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see it."

    "Liu Xu is a smart kid. He killed that drunk Oboi guard. In addition to getting his badge, he also took his dagger and wiped out another clue." Fatty Lu praised secretly in his heart.

    "Then, what about the waist card?" Mingzhu asked, "Have you found out the history?"

    The black and thin man didn't answer, but first glanced at Fatty Lu who was following behind Mingzhu. Mingzhu came to his senses and said, "Tell me, this Lu Yifeng, Mr. Lu, is a friend of Father Nan, and he came to offer incense to Father Nan."  , has nothing to do with this case.¡±

    "You are Lu Yifeng, Master Lu?" The black and thin man showed some joy on his face, and asked Fatty Lu: "Master Lu, I heard that you visited this church the day before yesterday, can you tell me about the church at that time?"  Case?"

    "This" Fatty Lu turned his gaze to Mingzhu.

    "Master Lu, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Wang Xu, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Mingzhu pointed to the black and thin man and introduced him, and introduced Li Tianyu, Yin of Shuntian Mansion. Then she said to Wang Xu: "  Master Wang, you can ask Master Lu to your heart's content later, but you don't need to ask about the other guests, do you understand?" Mingzhu gave Wang Xu a wink as she spoke.

    "Understood." Wang Xu had long suspected that the little pockmark in another wave of guests was the little pockmark who lived in the Qianqing Palace, so he immediately nodded in agreement, and then said: "The humble staff went to the Aozhongtang mansion this morning, and have a look.  After inquiring, I found out that a guard named Tang Chuan in Ao Zhongtang disappeared yesterday, and this badge may be Tang Chuan's badge."

    "It's really a waist card from Oboi's family!" Mingzhu shuddered, and hurriedly asked: "Then, have you found the whereabouts of Tang Chuan?"

    "No." Wang Xu spread his hands helplessly, and said: "Not only that, the captain of Ao Zhongtang's personal army, Waihu, also forced the subordinate officials to help find him, saying that he wanted to see people alive and corpses in death!"

    "I hope it's not a thief calling for a thief." Mingzhu sighed softly, waved her hand and said, "Okay, go in, Mr. Lu, you go to pay homage at the funeral, and I will personally go to the murder scene to see."

    Do as the Romans do, Nan Huairen's body was parked in the middle of the church hall. After entering the hall, Mingzhu, Wang Xu and others went to investigate the murder scene, and Fatty Lu asked Xiao Erlang to bring incense candles and offer sacrifices.  After burning a stick of incense, he knelt down in front of Nan Huairen's mausoleum, weeping and wailing with tears and snot, "My priest Nan, you died so unjustly! You have done good deeds all your life  , Spread the gospel of the Lord, why did you just go like this? The one who killed a thousand swords was so cruel, how could he be so cruel to a good person like you?"

    "Father Nan, although you and I have only met once, but for your character" While crying hypocritically, Fatty Lu thought about it again, "I never thought that Wang Zhu would be the one who assisted Mingzhu in investigating this case."  Xu, this guy is a master who is not afraid of water and fire. No matter who is involved in this case, I am afraid that nine cows will not be able to pull back. Should I use this opportunity?  How about trapping a few more traitors to go in? Although there may not be much hope of trapping Oboi, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem to trap a few traitors who are still minor players, right?¡±

 Chapter 60 Reunion

    ?

    Although he looked down on Wang Xu's loyalty to the Tartars, Fatty Lu still had to admire Wang Xu's seriousness and persistence. Knowing that the other wave of guests included the current emperor, Wang Xu still offered to Fatty Lu  The detailed identities of that group of guests were interrogated in detail, and they planned to find clues to solve the case of Nan Huairen's assassination.  But unfortunately, among the people who came to Xuanwumen Church with Xiao Mazi that day, whether it was Suo Etu, Kong Sizhen, Zhou Chang or the ordinary imperial guards Li Xu and Cao Yin, all of them, like Fatty Lu, did not kill anyone.  Motive and no time to commit the crime, Wang Xu still got nothing in the end.

    "Strange, who is it that is so cruel to Father Nan?" Disappointed by not being able to find any clues, Wang Xu, who has always been steady, couldn't help but mutter in front of Fatty Lu, "Who is so sinister and vicious?  Killing Priest Nan and wanting to put the blame on Ao Zhongtang, so as to stir up discord between the emperor and Ao Zhongtang's ruler and ministers?"

    "Wang Zongxian, I'm sorry for my humble remarks." Fatty Lu said hypocritically: "Although I have not officially taken office and handled a case, I have read "Winning Injustice", "Folding the Tortoise" and "Suspect Prison" in advance.  "Collection" and other case-handling works, and found that in the cases listed in these books, except for manslaughter and unintentional homicide, other homicide cases usually have homicide motives. The fact that Father Nan was assassinated in his own room is enough to prove that he was murdered by  Intentional murder, not manslaughter or unintentional homicide, Wang Zongxian wants to solve this case, why not investigate it from the person who has a grudge against Father Nan?"

    "What Master Lu said is very true. In fact, the officer has already started to investigate the suspect." Wang Xu nodded.

    "So who is the suspect?" Fatty Lu asked curiously.

    "Why is Lord Lu asking this?" Wang Xu's eyes bulged, and he said displeasedly: "This is an imperial case designated by the emperor to investigate. According to the law, the details of the case cannot be released to the public. If Lord Lu does not want to cause trouble, it is best not to inquire about it."

    "Yes, yes, shameless." Fatty Lu apologized helplessly, planning to mislead and disrupt Wang Xu's line of sight while taking the opportunity to frame the case, but also failed.  Tatars care more about doing things than being filial to your father, and sooner or later one day they will deal with you!

    "Okay, I've finished asking my questions. Master Lu, please do what you want." Wang Xu stood up, and left the room first with his hands behind his back.  Xu secretly cursed a few words from his back, and also stood up, flicked his sleeves and followed with his hands behind his back, muttering in his heart, "Wang, you should check it out, as long as you can find out! I have no motive for killing Nan Huairen."  There is no time to commit the crime, even if you go to the underworld and summon Nan Huairen's body to interrogate him face to face, Nan Huairen will not know that I killed him."

    Humming proudly in his heart, Fatty Lu went out of the room that Wang Xu had found for a temporary interrogation, and came to the church hall to go home, but when he got to the hall, he happened to catch up with Mingzhu who also came from the scene of the murder.  come out.  Seeing Wang Xu and Fatty Lu coming out one after the other, Mingzhu immediately greeted Wang Xu: "Master Wang, you came just in time, did you find any useful clues from Master Lu?"

    "No." Wang Xu shook his head and said distressedly: "It is now certain that none of the guests that Father Nan met before his death had a motive or suspicion of murder. It seems that this case can only be investigated from other aspects."

    "Very good." Mingzhu nodded, and said: "In this case, we should immediately arrest the two biggest suspects in this case, Qin Tianjian Supervisor Yang Guangxian and Deputy Supervisor Wu Mingxuan, and investigate them from them."

    "No!" Wang Xu resolutely vetoed it, and said, "Ming Zhongtang, yes, in the previous calendar case, the two adults Yang Guangxian and Wu Mingxuan of Qin Tianjian did have a deep hatred with Father Nan, and they were indeed the most suspected, but so far,  We have not found any evidence that the two adults are involved in this case, we cannot just arrest them based on common sense speculation, this is against the laws of the Qing Dynasty!"

    "Master Wang, who said there is no evidence for the truth?" Mingzhu said a little angrily: "In the middle of this month, the priest Nan went to the court to impeach Yang Guangxian and Wu Mingxuan for neglecting their duties and perfunctory calculations when calculating the calendar.  The calendar is full of errors and omissions, absurd! The emperor was furious and ordered the officials of the Qin Tianjian to recalculate (historical facts, Kang Mazi ordered Mingzhu to recalculate the Yang Wu calendar, which happened to be in December of the sixth year of Kangmazi)! Now the calendar is recalculated  Before the result came out, Father Nan died unexpectedly, was it the two of them who did it or who did it?"

    "Ming Zhongtang, this can only be said to be suspicion, not evidence." Wang Xu continued to retort: ??"It is even more impossible to arrest Yang Guangxian and Wu Mingxuan based on this."

    "If we don't arrest them, how will this case be investigated?" Mingzhu's face darkened, and she turned to Li Tianyu, governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and asked, "Master Li, what do you think?Smiling affectionately at himself.

    "She's here too." Fatty Lu suddenly realized, and his heart beat faster and faster.  Sure enough, when Li Tianzhi opened the curtain of the car, Shang Wanyi, who hadn't seen her for a long time, leaned over and got out of the car, and stood in front of the car, her face was still so beautiful, but her expression was still so cold.  While looking forward to the beautiful eyes, Shang Wanyi and Fatty Lu met each other's eyes, and Fatty Lu felt his heart skip a beat. Shang Wanyi's icy eyes first revealed a look of melting icebergs, and then he stared fiercely, suddenly  Two more murderous shots were fired.

    "What's wrong with the little girl?" Fatty Lu was stunned, and when he looked back, he saw that Kong Sizhen had embraced his fat arm affectionately at some point. Fatty Lu was shocked, and quickly shook off Kong Sizhen's hand.  On the other side, Shang Wanyan's face was frosty, and the little bit of excitement and joy of reuniting with Fatty Lu had been swept away.

    "Lord Lu, I only understand now." Kong Sizhen chuckled in Fatty Lu's ear and said, "You just chose to visit Geng Efu today. Who is it for?"

    Note: Both Lin Qing and Geng Qianxia were real people. After Geng Jimao's death, Lin Qing and Geng Qianxia, ??who were already married, escaped from the Jingnan Palace because they were afraid of Geng Jingzhong. They were naturalized in Wanping and sold tea for a living.

 Chapter 61 The Sweetheart Is Not Weak

    ?

    "The humble Lu Yifeng, I kowtow to Prince Pingnan, little Gege, and pay my respects to Gege!"

    Fatty Lu brushed off his sleeves, bent one knee slightly, and stabbed down at Shang Wanyi's unrestrained beauty. The standard of etiquette can definitely be drawn to the Ministry of Rites of the Qing Dynasty as a model of etiquette!  At the end, Fatty Lu raised his fat face and smiled affectionately at Shang Wanyan with his masculine charm.  But it is a pity that at this moment, Shang Wanyi seems to have returned to the same time when she first met Lu Fatty in front of the inner city of Guangzhou.  , as if he didn't see Fatty Lu's sweetheart at all¡ªat least Fatty Lu thought so.

    "Huh? Is the little girl jealous? This is a good sign." Fatty Lu's face is really thick, and he is complacent when he touches his nose, thinking that the reason why Shang Wanyi is so indifferent to him is entirely because  Seeing Kong Sizhen holding his arm, he misunderstood the relationship between him and Kong Sizhen - after all, in all honesty, Kong Sizhen is slightly better than Shang Wanyi in appearance.

    "Lord Lu, Little Gege has entered the mansion, get up quickly." Li Tianzhi's words interrupted Fatty Lu's complacency, and as he spoke, Li Tianzhi, who was dressed in ordinary servant clothes, gave Fatty Lu a hand.

    "Thank you General Li." Fatty Lu thanked him casually and stood up.

    "Lord Lu, please don't call me a general. I have already been expelled from the Pingnan Palace, and I have been removed from all positions in the army." Li Tianzhi said with a wry smile.

    "What? Little Gege didn't protect you?" Fatty Lu pulled Li Tianzhi to the gate of Geng Xinghe Mansion, and asked hypocritically.

    "I saved it, and thanks to Little Gege's kindness, my head was saved." Li Tianzhi's smile became more bitter, and he explained the ins and outs of the matter to Fatty Lu.  It turned out that on the third day after Fatty Lu left Fuzhou, Shang Kexi sent Shang Zhixiao to Fuzhou. In addition to thanking Geng Jingzhong, Shang Zhixiao also killed Li Tianzhi who was unable to protect Shang Wanyi to vent his anger on Shang Kexi. Thanks to Shang Wanyi  Shang Zhixiao, who tried his best to plead for Li Tianzhi, felt that he was a little sorry for his sister, and then spared Li Tianzhi's life.

    Later, Shang Zhixiao wanted to send someone to send his younger sister back to Guangzhou, and he himself had to go to Beijing to discuss salary on behalf of his father, Shang Kexi, but Shang Wanyi didn't know that she had taken the wrong medicine, so she insisted on arguing to go with Shang Zhixiao.  Jing, and Shang Zhixiao's stubborn temper is not something Shang Zhixiao can resist¡ªotherwise, Shang Wanyi would never become a nun in history. In desperation, Shang Zhixiao had no choice but to agree to his sister's request.  It just so happened that Geng Jimao's second son, Geng Juzhong, and his adopted daughter, Geng Qianxia, ??were also going to Beijing. Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong decided to go to Beijing together, so they rushed to the capital today.

    "General Li, if this is the case, then the Prince Pingnan didn't protect you?" Fatty Lu thought for a while and asked, "As far as I know, the Prince Pingnan has always treated you as his confidant.  In Fujian's matter, your responsibility is actually very small, why doesn't he say a few words for you?"

    "The prince sent someone to send me a message. This time, the matter is very big, and the prince is very angry. He can't protect me." Li Tianzhi smiled weakly, and said in a low voice: "Thanks to Xiao Gege for saving the last general."  Otherwise, I suspect that the people sent by the prince might want to silence the general, lest the general sell the order that the prince gave when he came out at a critical moment. The more the general thinks about it, the more afraid he becomes  , so he dared not leave Little Gege's side, and brazenly begged Little Gege to temporarily use the general as a servant and bring the general to the capital."

    "Then what are you going to do in the future?" Fatty Lu continued to ask: "Do you have any family members in Guangzhou?"

    "The last general is an orphan. He has been busy with military affairs since he entered the Pingnan Palace, and has not yet married." Li Tianzhi blushed a little, and murmured: "The last general is really desperate now, and he dare not go back to Guangzhou without saying anything. This time  Entering Beijing is because of last time, Mr. Lu, you, what you said to the last general"

    "Brother Li, you seem to be two years older than me?" Fatty Lu said very seriously: "From now on, I will call you Brother Li! It's the same sentence, as long as you don't dislike my brother, I'm a humble official."  , willing to follow me, as long as I have a bite to eat, brother, I will definitely not let you go hungry!"

    "Thank you, Master Lu!" Li Tianzhi was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee to Fatty Lu, clasped his fists and said, "Master Lu, from today onwards, my life, Li Tianzhi, will be sold to you, but I have a mission, Li Tianzhi will go through fire and water, go up the sword and down the mountain  Huohai, never frown!"

    Li Tianzhi is a kind person and a straightforward person. Of course, Fatty Lu believes what he said. Moreover, Li Tianzhi was born in Laoqiuba. He has seen the world in the army and has rich experience in the army.  say more?Putting Fatty Lu over again, he punched and kicked and said: "It's all because of this fat man talking nonsense, that pot can't be opened and that pot can't be opened! Otherwise, wouldn't our sisters be very affectionate just now?"

    "Whose sister are you?" Shang Wanyi replied coldly, and then asked, "Since you didn't appoint me, why do Fu Honglie's lackeys say it was your order?"

    Kong Sizhen was speechless, but secretly hated Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai, two trash¡ªwhy did they bring such a bunch of trash to Fujian to do business, and only confessed after using more than a dozen tortures?

    "Second Brother Geng, Third Brother Geng." Shang Wanyi turned to Geng Juzhong and Geng Xinghe again, and said with tears in her beautiful eyes: "You are all my relatives, I have suffered so much in Fujian, and I thank Geng Shibo for making a move.  Saved each other, my little sister was lucky enough to escape with her life, so my little sister didn't dare to criticize you¡ªbut my little sister, I don't want to stay here with my enemy, so let's continue eating, chatting, and listening to dramas here  Sing the song, my little sister will bid farewell first!"

    ?After all, Shang Wanyi shook off the maid and walked away, while Geng Xinghe and Geng Juzhong were sweating profusely¡ªif Geng Jimao and Geng Jingzhong knew that they were so intimate with Kong Sizhen, they would not let them go.  In desperation, Brother Geng Juzhong could only shout: "Little sister, where are you going? Come back quickly, this is the capital, you don't know the way!"

    "Little Gege doesn't know the way. The trouble was caused by the humble officer. I will go after her first and come to plead guilty later." Seeing that the situation was not good, Fatty Lu quickly ran away, leaving the Geng family brothers, the Shang family brothers, Kong Sizhen and others behind.  People peeped at each other in the hall, at a loss.

 Chapter 62 Liar

    ?

    "Xiao Gege, wait for me, you don't know the way in the capital! My lords, Xiao Gege doesn't know the way, the trouble is caused by me, I will go after her first, and I will apologize later!"

    Seeing that the situation was not good, Fatty Lu quickly threw down a word and ran away before the brothers and sisters of Geng Shang and Kong Sizhen and others could react, so as not to be eaten alive by these jackals on the spot.  It's just that I didn't expect that little girl Shang Wanyan to be so cold that she didn't even bother to move a few times, but when it came to the critical moment, she ran quite fast. As soon as Fatty Lu ran out of the second gate, the little girl had already run out of the gate, guarding Geng  The servant in front of the mansion didn't know what happened, so he didn't dare to stop him.  But when Fatty Lu chased him to the gate again, the little girl had already disappeared without a trace.

    "Master, what's the matter?" The brothers of the Liu family who were drinking and warming up with other servants in the front yard saw Fatty Lu come out in a hurry, and rushed to meet him. Liu Zhen asked, "Master, what happened? Why did you just now?"  Little Gege also ran out from inside, wiping away tears? Erlang, General Li, and Fang Shiyu went shopping for clothes, should we call them back?"

    "Which direction did Little Gege go out?" Fatty Lu asked, wiping his sweat.  Liu Zhen pointed to the right side of the gate, Fatty Lu hurriedly chased after him, and said casually: "You wait here for Xiao Erlang and Li Tianzhi. When they come, go back to Shizi Mansion, and we will meet there."

    Yelling, Fatty Lu chased in the direction where Shang Wanyan was going, and ran to the entrance of the alley out of breath. When he was looking around and worrying about losing the little girl, Shang Wanyan's voice came from behind, "Fatty man, come on!"  Here, where are you looking?" Fatty Lu was taken aback, and when he looked back, he saw Shang Wanyi standing at the corner of the alley, leaning against the wall while arranging her messy hair from fighting with Kong Sizhen, while coldly  look at yourself.

    "Little Gege, you scared me to death." Fatty Lu breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat and said, "I was still worried that you would get lost and could not be found."

    "I don't know the way to the capital, and I would only run away if I am stupid." Shang Wanyi replied coldly, then tilted her head and looked at Fatty Lu and asked, "What? Do you really want me to get lost?"

    "Heaven and earth conscience, I am so willing how dare I have such thoughts?" Fatty Lu cried out for injustice, and said aggrievedly: "Didn't you also see it? You just ran out, and I was the first to chase you out, which is better than you!"  My brothers chased even faster, but you ran too fast and didn't catch up right away."

    "It's because you yourself are too fat and run slowly, do you still want to blame me?" Shang Wan rolled her eyes at Fatty Lu, but there was a little color in her cold eyes.

    "Don't dare, don't dare." Fatty Lu nodded and bowed, and said flatteringly: "Speaking of which, I really can't think of anything, Little Gege, you still have such a skill, and that slap is really powerful!  He let out a bad breath, and taught that bitch Kong Sizhen a good lesson! Husband of a woman, a woman does not give way to a man, the beating is really hearty!"

    "What are you happy about? Now that I think about it, I should have slapped that bitch in the face with a tea cup. It was too cheap to slap her!"  Yan stared at Fatty Lu again and said, "Speaking of which, when I was fighting with that bitch, you didn't come up to help me, do you feel sorry for her?"

    "Wrong, this is even more wronged to me." Fatty Lu said anxiously, "I didn't make a move just now. One is that there is a difference between men and women, and the other is that you, the little princess, have the upper hand and beat that bitch by surprise¡ªif  Little princess, you are at a disadvantage, and if you are in danger, even if you are in a lowly position, you will be beheaded and ransacked, if you say anything, you will go up and shoot that bitch to death, so that she will not hurt you at all!"

    "Bah! It's better to say than to sing!" Shang Wanyi's heart was sweet, but she continued to say arrogantly: "Who knows what's in your heart? Didn't you make out with that bitch at the gate just now?"  Maybe, you have long been ambiguous with her."

    "Little princess, this is the third time you have wronged me. I really have nothing to do with her! Yes, she did seduce me, but I have never been tempted" Fatty Lu explained profusely, and then  Suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise: "Huh? Wait! Little princess, you slapped Kong Sizhen just now, maybe it was because you saw her seduce me?"

    "Bah!" Shang Wanyi blushed and spit, "It's none of my business that she seduced you?" After finishing speaking, Shang Wanyi lay down at the entrance of the alley and took a look in, then turned around and said, "My two  The third brother and the others have come out, let's go, I don't want to see the disgusting faces of them flirting with Kong Sizhen."

    "Okay, okay, please, little princess." Fatty Lu was eager to be alone with Shang Wanyi, so he hurriedly made an invitation gesture, and quickly fled into another alley by the roadside with Shang Wanyi, turning around and quickly throwing away  Shang Zhixiao and Shang Zhili pursued the soldiers.

    ?Watch it, be a notary, I'm not greedy for that liar's stuff.  " Fatty Lu opened the package, and while showing the contents of the package, he said: "You can see what is in it, so that he will not renege on the debt.  If that old liar comes back to ask you for a package, you can tell him to find me at the Prince Pingxi¡¯s mansion outside Xuanwu Gate. My surname is Lu. If he has the courage to ask me for a package, I will return it  "

    As he was speaking, Fatty Lu stopped suddenly, because apart from a few changes of clothes and ink, there were only two handwritten books in the package. After seeing the titles of the two books clearly, Fatty Lu exclaimed, "Wan Yi!  , that old liar may not have lied to us, he may be a miracle doctor!"

    "How do you know?" Shang Wanyan asked curiously.

    "Look at these two books." Fatty Lu lit up the books in his hand and said, "These two books are "Zhongbushuo" and "Zhongzhi Secretary". As far as I know, these two books are written by a writer named Zhu Fangdan  Written by a genius doctor, this Zhu Fangdan Zhu genius doctor happens to be from Hanyang, Hubei! His medical skills are unparalleled in the world, and he is definitely the best in the world!"

    "Zhu Fangdan? I've heard of his name too!" Shang Wanyi was startled, and said again: "Are you kidding me? That old pervert just now was Zhu Fangdan Zhu Miracle Doctor? Did you make a mistake? These two books are  Didn't he buy it on the street to bluff?"

    "Impossible! These two books are handwritten and haven't been printed yet." Fatty Lu shook his head, flipped through the two books again, and said in surprise: "The two books are not finished! No mistake, that old liar just now  , it is probably Zhu Fangdan!"

    "He, is he really Zhu Fangdan, Zhu Fangdan? What about these things?" Shang Wanyi was dumbfounded, and never could have imagined that the famous doctor Zhu Fangdan was actually an old pervert who went around in the name of diagnosis.

    "What should I do? Of course I took it away! He wants to take it back, so let him come to me by himself!" Fatty Lu stuffed the two books into the package, and said in his heart, "Zhu Fangdan, I got the two manuscripts you worked hard on.  , I¡¯m not afraid that you won¡¯t come to me! It¡¯s true that my pillow falls off when I sleep, and my plan to build an army may fall on you!¡±

    Note: For friends who haven¡¯t seen Nitian, Zhu Fangdan, a famous doctor in the Kangmazi period of the former Qing Dynasty, was the first person in the world to discover that the "brain" is the center of thought, not the "heart" recognized by traditional medicine.

 Chapter 63

    ?

    Unceremoniously took Zhu Fangdan's package, and took Shang Wanyi's little hand, Fatty Lu walked out of the restaurant in a smart and unrestrained manner.  At first, in front of many guests in the restaurant, Shang Wanyi didn't dare to speak, but blushed and let Fatty Lu pull her, until she walked a certain distance out of the restaurant and turned to a relatively secluded place, Shang Wanyi struggled to shake her hands.  Opening Fatty Lu's claws, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the right hand that was pulled by Fatty Lu, while looking at Fatty Lu coldly, with somewhat angry eyes.

    "Wanyan, do me a favor." As if not aware of it, Fatty Lu handed the fat hand that had been pulled over Shang Wanyan's small hand to Shang Wanyan, and said shamelessly: "Wipe me too, your hands are a bit dirty."

    "Fatty man, whose hands are dirty?" Shang Wanyi couldn't bear it any longer, and beat Fatty Lu's fat hand off with a wave.

    "Since your hands are not dirty, what do you wipe?" Fatty Lu asked with a puzzled face.

    "It's because your hands are dirty and smelly!" Shang Wanyi felt that the blood vessels on her forehead wanted to explode. If it wasn't for being on the street, Shang Wanyi would have the urge to strangle Fatty Lu to death  .

    "Really?" Fatty Lu put his fat hand under his nose and smelled it suspiciously, and said, "My hands don't smell bad, but it smells like sweat from your hands, sour and sour!"

    Shang Wanyi finally heard the sound of blood vessels exploding on her forehead, and the brutal blood of the Shang family flowing in the veins also began to boil. At that moment, Shang Wanyi smiled at Fatty Lu, making Lu Fatty feel cold, and then Shang Wanyi was the first again.  This time, he took the initiative to take Fatty Lu's fat hand, and pulled Fatty Lu into a small alley by the side of the road.  Soon, the horrific sound of killing a pig echoed in the alley, "Wanyi, please forgive me, I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore! Never dare again¡ª¡ª!"

    After finally fighting enough and venting enough, Shang Wanyan patted her fair little hands, and ordered to Fatty Lu, who was moaning in pain with countless bruises on his fat body: "See if you dare to do it in the future, you fat man!"  Nonsense! Well, now it¡¯s time to send me home, I don¡¯t want to go to Geng Xinghe¡¯s house, send me to my third brother Shang Zhili¡¯s house.¡±

    "Princess, what a coincidence, I don't know where your third brother lives." Fatty Lu replied with a sad face, "The capital is too big, and I haven't been in the capital for a few days, and I haven't had a chance to go to your elder brother's house yet."  visit."

    "Then what should I do?" Shang Wan hesitated, and said, "I just beat Kong Sizhen at Geng Xinghe's house, so I can't go back there again? How embarrassing that is."

    "This" Fatty Lu was also a little embarrassed, and suddenly he had an idea and said, "Why don't you, Wan Yan, go to my place"

    "You haven't beaten enough, have you?" Shang Wanyi blushed again, and said angrily, "I'm a big girl, go to where you live, can I go out to meet people in the future?"

    "You misunderstood." Fatty Lu quickly explained: "Wait for me to finish, in fact, after I entered Beijing, I have been living in the residence of Prince Pingxi's son.  Counting your elder brother, if you go to his house, no one can say anything? And after arriving at his place, someone in his family must know where your third brother lives, and they can send someone to send you back. "

    "Okay then, let's go to Prince Pingxi's mansion." Shang Wanyi thought about it carefully, and immediately nodded in agreement.  At the end, Shang Wanyan said again: "If Prince Pingxi doesn't mind, I really want to stay with him for a few more days, so that I don't have to go back and see the ugly faces of my second and third brothers flirting with Kong Sizhen."

    "Huh? I seem to have thought of something?" Hearing Shang Wanyi's words, Fatty Lu's heart suddenly moved, and he vaguely thought of something, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

    "Why are you in a daze?" Shang Wan gave Fatty Lu a white look, and shouted: "Don't lead the way yet? I'm afraid I'll eat yours and use yours. I'm going to eat and use Wu Shixiong's, so you don't need to pay for it."

    "Wanyan, I'm so sad when you say this. You should eat mine and use mine. Don't say it's just a few days, it's a lifetime Okay, I won't talk nonsense, let's go, here  It's not far from Prince Pingxi's mansion, and we'll be there soon."

    Qianmen Street is indeed not far from Shihu Hutong where Wu Yingxiong's mansion is located. Even if he walked west, he only walked west for half an hour, and Fatty Lu turned Shang Wanyi to the gate of Wu Yingxiong's mansion.  After Menzi reported Shang Wanyi's visit to Wu Yingxiong, Wu Yingxiong was very face-saving, and immediately asked people to open the door, and led his wife, Princess Jianning, to go out to welcome Shang Wanyi in person. At the same time, Xiao Erlang, Li Tianzhi and others had also returned to Shihu  alley.  As soon as they met, Xiao Erlang said with a smile: "Master, little Gege, where have you been shopping? The second and third princes of King Pingnan are going crazy, and they are looking for you and little Gege all over the capital."  .¡±

    "Let them go in a hurry, don't report to them in a hurry." Shang Wan snatchedThe couple sent Xiao Gege to Brother Zhili's house, and then called Si Gege to explain clearly in person?  "

    "Don't give it away! Don't give it away!" Princess Jianning roared in anger: "She, Kong Sizhen, came here if she had the guts to explain clearly to me why she sent someone to assassinate Little Gege, and why she wanted to frame her as a scapegoat.  On the father-in-law's subordinate! If Little Gege wants to live here, I will let her live here, but I want to see, who dares to take her away?!"

    "Princess, please be kind." Shang Zhixiao said with a sad face: "If you let the father know that the younger sister lives in your house because she is angry with me and refuses to leave, then the servant will not explain to the father."

    "Brother Zhixiao, I have to say something to you." Wu Yingxiong took the opportunity to fan the flames, "Brother Zhixiao, you say it yourself, you know that Si Gege is trying to murder your sister, and you are so affectionate with her, are you worthy of Sister Wanyi?  It's not like you don't know about Si Gege's hobbies, so you don't think about your sister's reputation, and force her to be with Si Gege?"

    "Yes, yes, I didn't think well about this matter, it's my fault." Shang Zhixiao wiped his sweat, regretting bringing his sister to the capital this time - I knew that Kong Sizhen would also come to the capital, so I shouldn't bring this trouble  The little girl came to the capital.

    "Come here, bring me a horsewhip!" Princess Jianning yelled loudly, "These two wolf-hearted things don't want to go away, so I will take them out."

    "Brother Zhixiao, Brother Zhili." Wu Yingxiong exclaimed, and said kindly: "Go quickly, your highness can do what she says, but I can't hold her back brother at that time! Go quickly, after a few days, your highness the princess  After the anger with Little Gege subsides, Brother Yu will personally send Little Gege back to you."

    Brothers Shang Zhixiao and Shang Zhili were afraid that things would become serious, so of course they refused to leave. Unfortunately, Princess Jianning is indeed a lord who can do what she says, and soon, the servants of the Wu family sent the horsewhip to Haochunxuan, Jianning  The princess took the whip and whipped Shang Zhixiao and Shang Zhili with the whip without saying a word. The brothers Shang Zhixiao and Shang Zhili did not dare to fight back. They took a few whips while dodging and screamed.  She crawled out of Haochunxuan, but Princess Jianning chased them out, it seemed that she was determined to beat the brothers out of her home.

    "Your Highness, I can't, they are all court officials, all court officials!" Wu Yingxiong also chased after him, and while pretending to pull Princess Jianning, he shouted, "Brother Zhixiao, Brother Zhili, Xiaozhang accepts you!"  Go with the big stick, you guys go, Brother Yu will come to the door in person to make an apology some other day¡ª¡ª!"

    "Wu Yingxiong, this boy, is really good at training his wife." Fatty Lu couldn't help but secretly praised him after watching the excitement from the beginning to the end while hiding in the back, "I must ask him for some advice some other day. I learned his training."  The wife¡¯s means, in the future I will not worry about not being able to marry a concubine.¡± (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log on to www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)

 Chapter 64 Fatty Stealing Books (Part 1)

    ?

    On the evening of the day when Shang Wanyi was left in Wu Yingxiong's mansion, Fatty Lu arranged for Lin Tianqing, who secretly met Kang Mazi, to finally return to Wu Yingxiong's mansion.  Fatty Lu and Wu Yingxiong, who are so good at observing words and expressions, can't judge what is in his heart and how things are going.  But what the old man said to Wu Yingxiong made Fatty Lu and Wu Yingxiong suddenly realize.

    "Master, good news, good news." This is what Lin Tianqing said to Wu Yingxiong, "I went out to meet friends today, and several friends in the imperial court tried to improve this old man, saying that Li Tianyu, governor of Shuntian Prefecture, was handling the case of the murder of priest Nan.  Ineffective, perfunctory, and full of ugly behaviors, the emperor's Longyan was furious, and he has decided to give up his plan to promote Li Tianyu to be the governor of Yunnan!"

    "Really, this is really good news?" Wu Yingxiong asked with surprise on his face, "Is this news reliable? Li Tianyu has no way to be the governor of Yunnan. Who has the hope to take over?"

    "The news is absolutely reliable!" Lin Tianqing said with a smile on his face: "It was my long-time friend of the Ministry of Punishment, Han Shangshu Hao Weina Hao Tang, who personally told this old man. It is absolutely unmistakable. As for who will replace Li Tianyu as the governor of Yunnan, it is a matter of decision."  I don't have the exact information yet¡ªbut Tangguan Hao reckons that the old man might not be able to waste the money you spent earlier, my son."

    "Really? Congratulations to Lin Zhongcheng for the humble position." Fatty Lu would also make fun of it, and immediately stepped forward to salute, and said respectfully: "Lu Yifeng, the county magistrate of Qujing, pays respects to Mr. Lin Zhongcheng, the prime minister of this province."

    "Lord Lu, you are polite, please hurry up." Lin Tianqing smiled until his eyes were narrowed into two slits, and said with a smile: "Master Lu, don't rush to call that, there is only hope, a little bit of hope, and it hasn't been settled yet.  , not really settled."

    "As long as there is hope!" Wu Yingxiong said resolutely: "Lin Shibo, since this matter has a turning point, we have to do our best to fight for it. How about this, you go to the court to do activities and try to take down this key position.  If you need anything about silver, just ask."

    "My lord, I have spent more than 50,000 taels of silver on you for this position, how dare you continue to spend your money?" Lin Tianqing blushed with a rare guilty conscience, and hurriedly postponed it resolutely.  A look of complete ignorance of the ins and outs of the matter and the background behind the scenes.

    After chatting for a while, Lin Tianqing got up and said goodbye and went back to the room. Fatty Lu also said goodbye, and went back to the room with Lin Tianqing to rest.  On the way, Fatty Lu had to lower his voice and ask Lin Tianqing: "Lin Zhongcheng, the emperor promised you to be the governor of Yunnan again?"

    "Not sure, but it's close." Lin Tianqing also lowered his voice, and replied: "That's what the emperor said. He first praised the old man for his loyalty to the country, and then mentioned Li Tianyu's involvement in the case of Nanfufu.  How disappointing his performance is, let the old man be prepared. After this year, the emperor will consider letting the old man use his spare heat and assign him an important job again. ¡ª¡ªLord Lu, thank you for your introduction, if not  Help me, how could the emperor say such a thing to the old man?"

    "Senior Lin, you're being polite. This is just the effort of the younger generation." Fatty Lu agreed in a low voice, and then asked: "Then when the emperor asked about the situation of the military salary in Yungui, how did you answer, senior?"

    "This old man is going to Yunnan and Guizhou to be an official. Of course, I will answer according to the number you pointed out, Mr. Lu." Lin Tianqing said in a low voice: "However, this old man did not dare to insist that it is 3.5 million taels.  Then I calculated two sums of Yunnan-Guizhou military pay, one was 4 million taels, and the other was 3.5 million taels, and the old man did not know which amount of military pay to report to the imperial court."

    "Senior Lin is brilliant, the answer is really tactful." Fatty Lu praised, but he was thinking in his heart¡ªis this old man's words reliable?  Did he really answer Kang Mazi like this?

    "By the way, Master Lu, there is one more thing you have to be careful about." Out of gratitude to Fatty Lu, Lin Tianqing kindly reminded, "When the emperor's interview with the old man was about to end, a eunuch went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to report to the emperor.  It is said that Shang Zhixiao, the second prince of Prince Pingnan, and Shang Zhili, the third prince, are seeking to see him, and they want to sue Mrs. Lu for abducting their little princess from Prince Pingnan¡¯s mansion into the mansion of Prince Pingxi¡¯s son.  I don¡¯t know the specifics of the decree to meet Shang Zhixiao and Monk Zhili.¡±

    "Thank you Senior Lin for your guidance, this junior will be careful." Fatty Lu smiled, bid farewell to Lin Tianqing, and went back to their rooms to rest.

    Of course, Lin Tianqing honestly went back to his room, excited and restless, while Fatty Lu turned around, and soon returned to the study room in Wu Yingxiong's house, which was the most closely guarded.  I have been waiting for a long time.  As soon as he entered the door, Fatty Lu didn't say a word, and immediately told Lin Tianqing exactly what he had said.?Under his arrangement, he secretly entered the palace, came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation again, and presented this letter to Xiao Mazi.  Contrary to Fatty Lu's expectations, Xiao Zhuang and La Gu Su Ma, the treacherous old witches, appeared with Xiao Mazi in the Hall of Mental Cultivation again.  But when Xiao Mazi, Xiao Zhuang and the others read the ghost painting talisman, before Xiao Mazi could speak, Xiao Zhuang laughed.

    "Lu Yifeng, you are really loyal to your Prince Pingxi! Yesterday you arranged Lin Tianqing to enter the palace with countermeasures, and today you personally come to Aijia to play with Jiang Gan in front of Aijia. You are really a fool when you are Aijia and the emperor."  ?¡± (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)

 Chapter 65 Fatty Stealing Books (Part 2)

    ?

    In order to verify whether Lin Tianqing was telling lies, and in order to fight for the interests of the Yunnan-Guizhou army as much as possible, Fatty Lu resolutely risked his beheading and brought a letter full of nonsense into the palace to test.  Unexpectedly, after reading this letter, the old witch of Xiaozhuang immediately threw the letter full of Lu Fatty's ghostly symbols on the dragon table, and sneered loudly, "Lu Yifeng, you are really loyal to your Prince Pingxi!  Arranging Lin Tianqing to enter the palace yesterday was a countermeasure, and today he personally came to Aijia to play with Jiang Gan's book stealing, are you really a fool when Aijia and the emperor?"

    "Weichen is wronged!" Fatty Lu plopped down on his knees, his forehead pressed against the ground, and shouted tremblingly: "Lafayette Mingjian, I really don't know what you are talking about!"

    "Lu Yifeng, you are indeed very courageous." Xiao Mazi sneered and said, "When your majesty met yesterday, Lin Tianqing had already told me the truth. The reason why he entered the palace to report to me the minimum salary of Prince Pingxi's mansion was someone.  Carefully arranged countermeasures! The real minimum salary of the Pingxi Palace is not 3.5 million taels! Lu Yifeng, what do you have to say now?"

    "Your Majesty, Master Lin, did he really say that?" Fatty Lu raised his head in surprise, and asked dumbfounded: "Master Lin betrayed the Pingxi Palace, was it someone's deliberate plan?!"

    "Lu Yifeng, now that things are going on, do you still want to continue acting?" Aunt Su Ma also spoke, and said with a half-smile: "Master Lin came to his senses quickly and took the initiative to confess his crimes.  Are you guilty? The emperor may consider to spare your dog's life if you take the action early and honestly."

    Xiao Zhuang, Lagu Su Ma and Xiao Mazi spoke to each other, pointing out Fatty Lu's sinister intentions and vicious intentions mercilessly, and scolded Fatty Lu until his face was so fat that his face was so shameless, his fat belly was like sifting chaff, and his mouth kept talking.  Yelling, "Lafayette, I am wronged! Aunt Su Ma, I am wronged! Your Majesty, I am wronged! Even if I have eaten the guts of a leopard, I will not dare to bully the king!"

    "You still have the face to complain?" Aunt Su Ma sneered and said, "Since you are wronged, how can you explain Lin Tianqing's words? Say it!"

    "This, this" Fatty Lu was completely speechless.

    "Slave dog, you still refuse to plead guilty even now?" Xiao Mazi lowered his face and slapped the dragon case and shouted: "Come here, push this deceitful Lu Yifeng out of the Meridian Gate and behead him for public display!"

    "Cover!" Li Xu, who was guarding the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, was the first to happily agree, and was the first to rush into the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He pressed Fatty Lu's fat head on the ground, and laughed wildly in his heart: "Fatty man,  You have today too!" Over there, young guards including Cao Yin and Lang Tan also swarmed up, picked up Fatty Lu and walked out.

    "Your Majesty, spare your life, spare your life!" Fatty Lu struggled desperately, crying bitterly for mercy.  But how could Fatty Lu with such a small body be able to struggle against Li Xu, Cao Yin and other young bodyguards who practiced Buku every day, even with all the strength they could bear, they couldn't struggle.  But when he was about to be carried to the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Fatty Lu's crying and begging for mercy suddenly stopped, and he shouted as if waking up from a dream, "Your Majesty, I understand! I understand everything! Your Majesty, I understand everything!"  The minister is guilty, the humble minister is guilty!"

    "Slow! Drag him back." Xiao Mazi finally stopped talking.  Li Xu, Cao Yin and the others over there were greatly disappointed, but they also had to drag Fatty Lu back to the original place. Then Xiao Mazi asked: "Lu Yifeng, you said you understand, you are guilty?"

    "Going back to the emperor, I understand, I'm guilty." Fatty Lu cried loudly, "When I was dragged to the gate of the main hall just now, I suddenly understood everything! It turns out that I was tricked, and King Pingxi  He sent Mr. Lin to use countermeasures, the minister didn't know it, fell for him, and introduced Mr. Lin Tianqing to the emperor, and then the minister was deceived again, and went to the study of the master to steal a piece of paper.  Dedicating a fake letter to the emperor almost missed the emperor's important event! Just say, this letter from Prince Pingxi was not delivered sooner or later, but it happened to be delivered to the capital yesterday evening, and it happened to be sent to the capital by Weibo.  I saw the messenger and after a long time, it turned out that someone deliberately lied to me."

    "This minister deserves to die! This minister is guilty! This minister is confused! This minister is stupid! I was taken advantage of by others, and this minister is guilty! Please spare your life, the emperor, please forgive me, the Empress Dowager Lafayette!"

    Fatty Lu was crying and shouting, crying to death, the pear blossoms were raining, it can be said that those who hear it are sad, and those who listen are weeping.  Here, Xiao Mazi, the old witch of Xiaozhuang and the others remained calm, but exchanged quick glances with each other. Xiao Mazi made another case, and roared: "Bold slave, you still dare to quibble now? Come on!"  Let me ask you, what kind of person is Zuo Du Censor Wang Xu Wang, how can he accept bribes from others? You are a dog slave who bullies the emperor and even dares to frame loyal officials of the court. What crime should you deserve?!"

    "Damn the humble minister, damn the humble minister!" Fatty Lu slapped himself twice,Seeing that Wu Sangui planned to betray them in this way, Juzhong must have the idea of ??swallowing Wu Sangui alive, and he must have made a major concession on the matter of salary negotiation!  "

    "Give the second half to Mingzhu." Xiao Zhuang handed the second section to Xiao Mazi, and said in a dark tone: "Let Mingzhu secretly investigate whether Wang Xu has committed bribery or not. If there is, then you are welcome. These days  , Oboi has clearly strengthened the control of the Gyeonggi army, and most of the court is his henchmen, under such circumstances, we can no longer provoke Oboi."

    "Grandmother is thoughtful, grandson understands." Xiao Mazi nodded solemnly¡ªhe has not been in power for less than a year, and most of the court power is still in the hands of Oboi.  It is suicidal.

    "Grandmother, what about Lu Yifeng?" Xiao Mazi asked again in embarrassment: "This kid risked his life to present such an important letter to me, and I still want to scare him.  What should I say?"

    "Su Ma, I'll leave this matter to you." Xiao Zhuang ordered La Aunt Su Ma lightly, "Go and explain to Fatty Lu that the Emperor and Ai's family have to be more careful about such a big matter.  He understands the difficulty of the emperor and Aijia, let him forget it like the Suo Mintai incident last time, and don't mention it when he sees the emperor."

    "And your majesty, Lu Yifeng's loyalty is commendable, you should give him some rewards, just give him a flag, seal an official position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs secretly, let him and Lin Tianqing go to Yunnan, and give that old thing Wu Sangui  Keep an eye on it."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After returning to Yunnan, when Fatty Lu told Liu Xuanchu about the thrilling trip to the palace to present books, Liu Xuanchu not only did not praise Fatty Lu, but became furious and scolded Fatty Lu bloody, "Confused  You know that even if the imperial court only pays the prince two and a half million taels of military pay, the prince can accept it, why would you take such a big risk to enter the palace to offer fake books? Do you know that if Lin Tianqing sells you in advance, you  But you will definitely not be able to get out of the palace alive! Gambling your family and life for a little money, are you material for great things?"

    "Teacher, the student knows that this move is very risky, but the student took this risky move because of his certainty." Fatty Lu calmly said with a smile: "The student had already figured it out at the time, no matter whether Lin Tianqing betrayed the student or not, Kang Mazi  Neither the Empress Dowager nor the Empress Dowager will kill the students, and will let them go."

    "Why?" Liu Xuanchu asked in surprise.

    "Men, please think carefully." Fatty Lu said slowly, "If Lin Tianqing really betrayed the student, why would the emperor and the empress dowager kill the student when the student presented the fake book? Killing the student is equivalent to telling the prince and the prince,  Lin Tianqing has already sold them, and has completely turned to the court. The court is also completely worried about the prince and the prince, so they are willing to exchange an insignificant seventh-rank magistrate like a student for a vital second-rank Yunnan  Governor? Are they worth it?"

    "Besides." Speaking of this, Fatty Lu smiled even darker, "If they show hostility towards the prince and the prince, and really push the prince and the prince into a hurry, aren't they afraid that the prince and the prince will completely fall for Oboi? And Ao Bai  Please join hands to fight against them? So the students dare to conclude that even if Kang Mazi and the empress dowager know that the students are offering fake books, they will not kill the students to scare the snakes, they will just pretend to be the trick, and let the students leave in a big way!"

    "Don't hide it from my mentor." Fatty Lu said to the stunned Liu Xuanchu with a wicked smile: "Actually, as early as the first sentence of the empress dowager, the old hag, accusing the students of stealing books by Jiang Gan, the students already concluded that Lin Tianqing did not  Sell ??the students¡ªotherwise, would the old hag still need to bluff the students? Just pretending to be fooled, and then killing the prince by surprise, wouldn't it be more beneficial for her and Kang Mazi?"

 Chapter 66 Abducting a master

    ?

    Returning to Shihu Hutong and handing over the job to Wu Yingxiong, Fatty Lu's efforts in negotiating the salary can be regarded as a great success, and after that, Fatty Lu basically has nothing to depend on Wu Yingxiong.  ¡ª¡ªFatty Lu's current official position is too low, not to mention going to the Jinluan Palace and entering the study to participate in political discussions, even to visit those six ministers and ministers, to treat guests and give gifts, and to do some dredging, Fatty Lu is far from qualified.  So what to do next depends on Wu Yingxiong himself, and Fatty Lu is powerless if he wants to intervene.

    Fortunately, Fatty Lu is not only satisfied with what Fatty Lu has done for the discussion of salary these days, but also Wu Yingxiong is full of praise. Not only has he successfully misled Xiao Mazi and Xiaozhuang's strategy on the matter of salary discussion, but also he has won the greatest possible victory for the Yunnan-Guizhou army in the coming year.  The military pay has laid the most solid foundation, and it also destroyed Xiao Mazi's vicious plan to use Li Tianyu to mix sand in Yunnan and Guizhou, and pushed Lin Tianqing, who was at least superficially obedient and knowledgeable, to be the governor of Yunnan.  position.  So after Fatty Lu reported the good news to Wu Yingxiong, Wu Yingxiong not only rewarded Fatty Lu heavily on the spot, but also wrote a letter to report the victory to his father Wu Sangui, who is thousands of miles away, asking his father to remember Fatty Lu on this matter.  A first effort.

    Of course, such a huge sacrifice certainly pays off. After such a toss from Yunnan to Guangzhou and then to Beijing, Fatty Lu not only got a reward of ten thousand taels of silver from Wu Yingxiong, but also from Shang Zhixin.  Arrived at a vacant position from the sixth-rank transportation judge, and got a reward of two hundred taels of gold from Xiao Mazi, a vacant position of a fifth-rank internal affairs minister, and a man with a Han army inlaid with a blue flag¡ª¡ª  Although this status may be a coveted honor for others, it is undoubtedly a huge insult to Fatty Lu.  But no matter what, Fatty Lu has made a fortune this time, making a lot of money, so it's not a waste of hard work.

    After completing this important errand, Fatty Lu is just waiting for the Chinese New Year to take his seal and return to Yunnan to officially take up his post. In these short few days of leisure, Fatty Lu is walking around the capital with his dog legs and eating and drinking every day.  Apart from whoring and gambling, the rest is to go to the back garden of the Wu Mansion to find Shang Wanyi whenever he has time to contact her.  But it's a pity that as long as there are outsiders present, the little girl's awkward temper will immediately explode, and she ignores Fatty Lu and ignores Fatty Lu. When Fatty Lu invited her to go shopping and date together, she also stubbornly refused to agree with a pretty face.  Fatty Lu's teeth itch with hatred, but there is nothing he can do.

    On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, there are only two days left until New Year's Eve. In addition to the heavier snowfall in the capital, the streets are inevitably more lively.  Fatty Lu is fat and afraid of being crowded, so he stayed at Wu Yingxiong's house to learn the methods of army formation and training from Li Tianzhi. He never thought that at noon card time, Lin Tianqing, who had been busy for several days, suddenly came to find Fatty Lu and invited Fatty Lu to Liuli  I went shopping in the factory, saying that I wanted to buy something, and I even took Fatty Lu to do some shopping.

    "Senior Lin, let's forget about the humble job." Fatty Lu was looking for a while to report to Shang Wanyi, so he casually said: "The humble job has never been interested in those antique calligraphy and painting, and I don't know anything about it, so I won't go along with it."  This is hilarious."

    "Lord Lu, it's okay if you don't dare to be interested this time, you have to accompany me on this trip." Lin Tianqing also really thanked Fatty Lu for his help, and pointed out: "The rules of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's annual festival on the second day of the twelfth lunar month  The sixteen seals were sealed with pens and seals, and no political affairs were done. On the first day of the first lunar month, the pens and seals were opened during the grand ceremony at the right hour of the morning.  New Year's gift."

    "The junior also wants to go? The junior is the seventh rank, do you have the qualifications?" Fatty Lu was a little sad-it was seven o'clock in the morning, and he got up so early in the winter to go to the palace to give Xiao Mazi and Xiaozhuang Lao  For the always lazy Fatty Lu, the witch's New Year's greetings are more painful than beheading.

    "The qualifications are just enough." Lin Tianqing said with a smile: "Officials above the seventh rank in Beijing are eligible to enter the palace to worship as long as they catch up. Mr. Lu, you are so valued by the emperor and Oboi. If you don't go, is it appropriate? No  To tell you the truth, the old man has already stepped in and signed up for Mr. Lu with your old friend Huang Ji, the Minister of Rites, Mr. Huang. When the time comes, Mr. Huang will arrange a good position for you, so that the emperor and the empress dowager can see you  .¡±

    "This" Fatty Lu thinks about it carefully. He is also a miscellaneous official with seventh, sixth and fifth ranks at the same time. Since he happened to catch up with this time, it would be a bit unjustifiable if he didn't make excuses  .  In desperation, Fatty Lu had no choice but to cry and said: "In that case, I would like to thank Senior Lin, but I really don't understand what gifts to give, so please give Senior Lin some pointers."

    "The old man asked you to go to Liulichang together, just to give you some advice." Lin TianIn Prince Pingxi¡¯s mansion, if Doctor Zhu doesn¡¯t believe you, I can bring you to Xiao Gege right now¡ª¡ªI can also send someone to invite the second and third princes of King Pingnan to prove Xiao Gege¡¯s  identity.  "

    Zhu Fangdan was tongue-tied and hesitated for a long time, then Zhu Fangdan begged with a sad face: "Master Lu, the student is just a countryman with little talent and little learning, a wandering wild crane who does not seek fame, why do you"

    "When we arrive in Yunnan, I can arrange for you to treat Chen Yuanyuan's illness." Fatty Lu said calmly.

    "Chen Yuanyuan? That Chen Yuanyuan?" Zhu Fangdan's eyes lit up.

    "Besides that Chen Yuanyuan, how many other Chen Yuanyuan are there in the world?" Fatty Lu said with a sinister smile, "Master Zhu, I think you should also understand that if I, a seventh-rank official with the size of a sesame seed and mung bean, am not the confidant of Prince Pingxi, then I am eligible to live here."  In the residence of Prince Pingxi? If Chen Yuanyuan, the most beautiful woman in the world, had a headache that day, I would recommend you in front of the prince and say a few good words for you. Think for yourself, will the prince let you be his concubine?  What about Chen Yuanyuan's treatment?"

    "Miraculous doctor Zhu, think about it, what a great opportunity. I became a teacher and came to Yunnan. I can not only return your book, but also avoid the pursuit of the Pingnan Palace, and have the opportunity to give the world's No.  A beautiful woman Chen Yuanyuan cures illnesses, what a good thing to have the best of both worlds? Back then, for Chen Yuanyuan, Li Zicheng lost his country, and the prince led the Qing soldiers into the customs. Can such a peerless beauty be compared with those vulgar fans?"

    ("Get out of the way! Don't pull me, I'm going to hack this fat man to death!" A certain prince roared while holding a knife.)

    "I'm a country man with little talent and little learning, and I don't seek fame" Zhu Fangdan muttered in his mouth, and suddenly gritted his teeth, "Fuck the idle clouds and wild cranes! Master Lu, I will go to Yunnan with you to treat Chen Yuanyuan,  Oh, no, go to Yunnan to be your teacher!"

    "Okay!" Fatty Lu was overjoyed, slapped his thigh, took Zhu Fangdan's hand and said, "Miraculous doctor Zhu, then it's settled, the annual salary of one thousand taels of silver, I guarantee that one or two taels will not be too much for you!  If there is a chance, I will recommend you to treat Chen Yuanyuan's illness!" After that, Fatty Lu leaned into Zhu Fangdan's ear and said, "Also, if the female family members of those high-ranking officials and important generals in Yunnan and Guizhou feel unwell, I can also recommend you.  Divine doctor Zhu, oh."

    "Really?" Zhu Fangdan pricked up his ears, with a greedy look on his face.

    "Of course it is true." Fatty Lu nodded vigorously.

    "Boss, then it's settled." Zhu Fangdan didn't say a word, but also grabbed Fatty Lu's fat hand.  Fatty Lu smirked, Zhu Fangdan followed suit, and soon, the carriage was filled with smirks that could make the senior officials of Yunnan and Guizhou feel their scalps go numb.

    Fatty Lu wins over Zhu Fangdan so recklessly, of course it is not as simple as asking Zhu Fangdan to be his teacher to handle paperwork and treat minor illnesses. After the smirk, Fatty Lu quickly pressed Zhu Fangdan's head in front of him, and whispered in his ear  : "Miraculous doctor Zhu, before this, you have to do me a big favor. Since you are a miracle doctor, can you help me get a rare medicine?"

    "What kind of medicine?" Zhu Fangdan asked back, and said confidently: "I'm not bragging, as long as there is any medicine in this world, even if I can't get it, I can make it."

    "Afurong." Fatty Lu said solemnly.

    "Cut, I thought it was some kind of medicine." Zhu Fangdan chuckled disdainfully, "This kind of medicine used to be reserved for hospitals in the previous dynasty, but now it is a bit more expensive, and it can also be obtained in the folks.  For the treatment of illness, I have already tried to refine the medicine successfully, which removes the smell of urine and leaves a sweet smell. If you want it, my master, you only need to pay money, and the student can get it for you in the pharmacy today and refine it!"

    "That's great." Fatty Lu was overjoyed, and said in a low voice: "But besides the finished medicine of Afulong, I also need the seeds of Afulong. Can Divine Doctor Zhu get this for me?"

 Chapter 67 Raspberry's Injustice

    ?

    Liulichang is located between Xuanwumen and Qianmen in the west of the outer city of Beijing. During the Yuan and Ming dynasties, it was not particularly lively.  Most of them lived in this area, coupled with the establishment of various museums nearby, the demand for pens, inks, papers and inkstones was huge, Liulichang's four treasures of the study industry naturally developed, and then formed a unique cultural atmosphere, becoming the largest in Beijing.  It is a street of cultural and antiques¡ªit can be said that if a scholar comes to the capital and does not visit Liulichang, he will have no face to call himself a scholar.

    Of course, when scholars come to Beijing, they must visit Liulichang, but the customers who visit Liulichang may not necessarily be people who like to dance, at least our Fatty Lu County Magistrate is one.  Walking on Liulichang Street, where there are book stalls, antique shops, and calligraphy and painting shops everywhere, Lin Tianqing, who is quite famous for his calligraphy, is in high spirits, and the new master Zhu Fangdan, who is barely a scholar, is also full of interest, but Fatty Lu is  Yawning and dozing off all day long, if Lin Tianqing hadn't often pulled Fatty Lu to talk, Fatty Lu would have fallen asleep next to the stove in the antique shop several times.

    "Lord Lu, Dr. Zhu, how about this old man choosing this calligraphy poster of Master Mi Fumi?" After wandering into an antique shop, Lin Tianqing finally picked out a calligraphy poster for himself, and asked Fatty Lu and Mrs. Mi with great interest.  Zhu Fangdan flaunted: ""Taoxi Poetry Post" is the masterpiece of Master Mi in his early years! Mi Yuanzhang first learned from Ou (Yang Xun) and Liu (Gong Quan), and his strokes are straight and strong. After middle age, he learned to imitate Wei and Jin, and his brushes turned thick.  Shuangjin, I have heard for a long time that Master Mi's masterpieces such as "A Resignation to the Empress Dowager", "Shu Su Tie" and "Nine Cursive Scripts" in his later years have been collected in the palace, but the vigorous works of Master Mi in his early years are missing.  If the "Tiaoxi Poetry Post" is sent up, the emperor will be satisfied."

    "That's right, it really is tall and strong." Zhu Fangdan nodded, and echoed: "A rare masterpiece, Mr. Lin has good eyesight."

    "Senior Lin, how much money?" Fatty Lu's question was more realistic, and he yawned again after asking.

    "Not expensive, five hundred taels." Lin Tianqing replied with a smile.

    "Five hundred taels is not expensive? It is equivalent to the annual income of more than 800 mu of fertile land. How much blood and sweat of the Han people will be stolen by Xiao Mazi for one year?"  The dog leg shouted: "Erlang, take out the money and settle the bill for Senior Lin."

    "Okay." Xiao Erlang agreed without hesitation, and hurried in to settle the bill for Lin Tianqing.  Lin Tianqing hastily declined, "Master Lu, how can this be done? This is something I bought myself, how can I let you pay for it?"

    "Senior, don't be polite. This junior usually wants to show respect to you, but I haven't had the chance to honor you. Today, if I meet you, I have to let the junior express my affection, right?" Fatty Lu continued to yawn politely.

    "This, I'm sorry for the old man." Lin Tianqing originally wanted to decline, but seeing that Xiao Erlang had already slipped the bank note into the owner's hand deftly, he had no choice but to thank him and accept it.  At the end, Lin Tianqing took the initiative to say to Fatty Lu: "Lord Lu, the old man can choose a copy of Dong Qichang's calligraphy for you. I heard that Dong Xuanzai's calligraphy was copied by the emperor recently. If you send his calligraphy stickers, the emperor will definitely like it."

    "That's good" Fatty Lu, who knew nothing about calligraphy and painting, wanted to agree casually, but when he thought of rewarding Xiao Mazi with the hard-earned money he earned by tying his head to his belt, Fatty Lu felt extremely painful.  After rolling his eyes, Fatty Lu said again: "Forget it, thank you Senior Lin for your kindness. I thought about it just now and thought it would be better to give the emperor another gift, so I don't need to trouble Senior Lin."

    "Lord Lu, you can't joke about this matter." Lin Tianqing was really kind to Fatty Lu, and quickly reminded him kindly: "You are now a celebrity in front of the emperor, Huang Tangguan has arranged for you an emperor and the emperor.  The Empress Dowager will definitely see your good position, and if the emperor asks about your gift and it is not suitable, then it is no joke."

    "Senior Lin, please don't worry, I won't make fun of my own head." Fatty Lu yawned again, and was about to explain to Lin Tianqing.  But another person came in outside the shop over there, wearing a thin padded jacket with patches, his whole body was covered with snowflakes, his face was blue and pale from the cold, rubbing his hands and shouting: "Shopkeeper, do you have ink from Ye Xuanqing or Luo Xiaohua here?"

    "President Wang!" Fatty Lu and Lin Tianqing exclaimed at the same time. It turned out that the person who entered the store was none other than Wang Xu, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

    "Master Lin, Master Lu." Wang Xu also recognized Fatty Lu and Lin Tianqing who were present, forced a smile on his thin, dark and dry face, cupped his hands and said, "What a coincidence, you also come to Liulichang to shop  Did you get any baby?"

    "Senior Lin found a pair of Mi Fu's calligraphy, but I haven't found one that I like." Fatty Lu asked curiously while saluting"Ma Li, time sees people's hearts.  "Wang Xu's voice was choked with sobs, he bowed deeply to Fatty Lu, stood up straight and said: "Okay, Ming Zhongtang, please escort the officer to the Ministry of Punishment.  "

    "Take it away." Mingzhu waved her hand and shouted again: "Go ahead and search to see if there are any other places where money is hidden!"

    Amidst the crying and wailing of Wang Xu's family, Wang Xu was escorted away by the officials of the Ministry of Justice with his head held high, but everyone present had their own thoughts.  That case would be much easier to handle, and I, the new Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, would not be ridiculed for screwing up my first major case when I took office, and I would not be left with an incompetent job in front of the emperor.  Lin Tianqing and Li Tianyu met each other secretly, one was gloating, thinking that you deserved your bad luck, and you were about to be promoted but you just happened to encounter such a bad thing, right?  The other was gnashing his teeth, secretly cursing the old thing for his bad luck, and the salty fish turned over by accident!  Only Fatty Lu had a solemn expression, staring at Wang Xu's back for a long time without saying a word.

    "Wang Xu, you are indeed a good official. Unfortunately, the more officials you have now, the greater the harm you will cause to the Chinese nation. So, I'm sorry. Sigh, is it right or wrong for me to do this?"

    Murmuring secretly in his heart, Fatty Lu sighed, turned his head and told Xiao Erlang: "Erlang, give Lord Wang's family a hundred taels of silver later, and don't let them freeze or starve."

    ?

    Mingzhu inadvertently said that big things would happen wherever he went, Fatty Lu, who was fascinated by the authorities, realized that he seemed to have a little bit of auspicious potential - basically wherever he went, there would be a lot of them  Trouble, even if you don't intend to find trouble, trouble will come to you, small things will become major events, major events will become a major event that sensationalize the whole country, good events will become bad events, and bad events will simply become disasters!

    In Yunnan, Fatty Lu himself just had a drink with Wu Sangui and Liu Xuanchu, and said a few words about the wine. As a result, those evildoers in Shuixi, who had been hacked by Wu Sangui for hundreds of years in history, did not recover.  Miraculously made a comeback in a short period of time, murdered and set fire, tossed half of Yunnan and Guizhou, and at the same time, the remnants of Nanming came out of that virgin forest and began to fight piecemeal on the border of Yunnan, forcing  Bian Sanyuan, governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and admirals Zhang Guozhu, Li Benshen and other senior officials even made a memorial requesting the imperial court to allocate more food and salaries for the purpose of repression.

    In Guangxi, Fatty Lu just talked a few words with Sun Yanling, the admiral of Guangxi, in the boat as usual. As a result, Sun Yanling reported to the court the remnants of the previous Ming Dynasty for rebellion as if he had taken the wrong medicine.  It messed up Kang Mazi's plan to defeat the San Francisco, and also made Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen's husband and wife quarrel, and Kong Sizhen was so angry that he put on more than a dozen green hats on Sun Yanling.

    In Guangdong, Fatty Lu jumped up and down after a lot of tossing. Shang Kexi, who had been at odds with Wu Sangui all his life, also lost his nerve. He used the excuse of resisting Taiwan Zheng Jing, and also helped Wu Sangui ask the court for food and pay, and actually controlled most of the military power in Guangdong.  Shang Zhixin simply formed an alliance with Wu Sangui in secret to fight against the aggressive Kangxi Xiaomazi, and let Kangmazi truly see the powerful threat of the San Francisco and even the Four Kingdoms joining forces.

    It was even more serious when he arrived in Fujian. Fatty Lu, who had already stopped and didn't want to cause trouble, was shocked because of Fu Honglie's initiative to provoke.  He brought along Shi Lang, a good naval officer, to get rid of the number one worry for Taiwan's anti-Qing forces.  In addition, Xiao Mazi's confidant Kong Sizhen's vicious intention to drive a wedge between San Francisco was also made public, exposing a lot of Xiao Mazi's hostility towards San Francisco, forcing San Francisco to strengthen ties in order to protect themselves.

    It doesn¡¯t matter if the disaster is over in the south, after running to the city of Beijing, Fatty Lu¡¯s auspicious aura is like a plug-in to show his power. First, he killed Yue Wumu¡¯s unworthy descendant Yue Shenglong, and by the way, he brought along the old traitor Zhang  Yong also ate melons, and then Zhao Liangdong, who was still in Ding You's period, was also beaten for no reason, and he lost hope of coming back without even knowing the reason.  At the same time, Li Xu, Nan Huairen, Zhou Peigong, Wang Xu and many other loyal and capable ministers of the Qing Dynasty also became victims of Fatty Lu's auspicious halo-if it wasn't for Xiaozhuang's decisive and full efforts to protect him, Xiao Mazi's two major heroes  Kong Sizhen and Suo'etu were almost beheaded and ransacked their homes, making the whole city of Beijing a mess.

    What's even more exasperating is that Fatty Lu, the catastrophe of auspiciousness, encountered so many important events. Not only was he not beheaded and ransacked, and the nine clans were exterminated, but he was appointed more and more official positions.  The bigger he is, the more he is appreciated and favored by Xiao Mazi, Obai and Pingxi Wangfu. Either he is determined to win over this disaster, or he is determined to reuse this disaster!  It can be seen from this that the words of building bridges without roads and corpses, killing people and setting fire to golden belts are really not just nonsense.

    There was a lot of gossip, but let¡¯s get down to business. After giving Wang Xu¡¯s family a hundred taels of Anjia silver, Fatty Lu, Lin Tianqing and others went back to Wu Yingxiong¡¯s mansion with their own concerns. When they went to Shihu Hutong to see, it was really Fatty Lu who went there.  There must be something going on¡ªjust in time for Shang Zhixiao and Shang Zhili to be kicked out by Princess Jianning.  Princess Jianning held Shang Wanyi who was crying with one hand, and a horsewhip in the other, and stood at the gate of Wu Yingxiong's mansion and cursed: "Get out! Get out of here! Wanyi wants to live with me, my sister-in-law, so you can't do it!"  No one can try to drag her away! If you dare to come here to make trouble with me, next time my mother won't be as simple as whipping her!"

    "Princess, please be kind." Shang Zhili bowed and bowed, and said with a mournful face: "The New Year is coming soon, and Wanyi has to go into the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager Lafayette, so let us take the  Let her take it away, and none of us can afford to miss this important event."

    "Sister-in-law, I won't go." Shang Wanyan was also spoiled by Fatty Lu a lot, crying until Li Hua rained on Princess Jianning's hand and begged, "If I go back now, they will definitely beat me.  Scold me, I'm afraid"

    "Sister, don't be afraid, your sister-in-law will make the decision for you." Princess Jianning patted Shang Wanyi's hair to comfort her, then turned to Brother Shang Zhixiao and shouted: "Did you hear that? Sister Wanyi doesn't want to go with you, so get out of here.  Sister Wanyi enters the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager, I will take her there??I can¡¯t be afraid of anything.  "

    "Wait, don't talk yet." Kong Sizhen suddenly raised a finger, signaling Shang Zhixiao and others to shut up temporarily.  After recalling it for a while, Kong Sizhen pondered again and said: "Today, the eyeliner of the thirteen yamen came to report that Lu Yifeng and Lin Tianqing went to Liulichang.  You like calligraphy and painting, and you want to do what you like, and give the emperor such a gift?"

    "It's possible, what is Si Gege going to do?" Shang Zhixiao asked impatiently.

    "What should I do?" Kong Sizhen grinned grimly, and said, "The emperor has always liked Dong Qichang's handwriting. I spent a lot of effort and managed to get an authentic copy of Dong Qichang's "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing".  For the emperor, since I have caught up with this matter, I will simply take it out as a favor, and give it to Fatty Lu to the emperor!"

    "Si Gege, are you crazy?" Shang Zhixiao said angrily: "Such a priceless treasure, if you use it as a favor for that scourge, wouldn't it make him more favored?"

    "What are you in a hurry for? Listen to me." Kong Sizhen gave Shang Zhixiao a coquettish look, beckoned everyone to come to him, and said in a low voice, "This matter will take a few steps.  Go to visit Eunuch Zhang, and ask Eunuch Zhang to find an opportunity to let the emperor know before the first day of the new year, and tell the emperor that your second elder brother is going to present Dong Qichang's "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing" to the emperor when he enters the palace. Then on the afternoon of New Year's Eve  , Second Prince, you go to Shuntian Mansion to report the crime, and say that this painting has been stolen"  Support genuine reading!)

    (ps: I asked for a monthly ticket, and I fell out of the 80th place. I don¡¯t ask for rewards, just don¡¯t be too embarrassing)

    "Fatty man, you are quite courageous! I heard that you brought back that old liar who molested me yesterday, and are you going to let him be your teacher?"

    Abducted Zhu Fangdan back to Wu Yingxiong's mansion on the second morning, finally got permission to enter Shang Wanyi's room to pay respects, and finally Shang Wanyi took the initiative to speak up and drive away the maids in the room, and finally got monk Wanyi to spend time alone  Opportunity.  In the end, before Fatty Lu was happy, Shang Wanyan's small hands had already grabbed Fatty Lu's fat ears, and she shouted with her eyebrows upside down: "You want to disgust me, don't you? You think that old liar didn't bully me, you  You are unhappy, so you brought him back to give him a second chance?"

    "You are wronged, little princess, you are wronged to death." Fatty Lu cried out repeatedly, and said with a mournful face: "How dare you have such thoughts? I brought him back as a teacher because I thought his writing was okay.  His medical skills are also real, if you stay in the shogunate, if you have a headache, you can even save the cost of soup and medicine."

    "You saved the soup and medicine, but what should I do?" Shang Wanyi stared at Fatty Lu, and said viciously: "I feel disgusted when I see that old pervert. If you keep him by your side, what should I do? That old pervert  Where is the ghost now? Immediately drive him away, drive him away!"

    "I sent Li Tianzhi and the Liu family brothers to protect Miracle Doctor Zhu out, and asked Miracle Doctor Zhu to buy me a medicine and seeds. The medicine is better than the seeds, and Shen Xin has to go to the silversmith's shop to get me something. I don't think so.  I can¡¯t come back until dark.¡± Fatty Lu scratched his bald forehead to explain, and then asked stupidly: ¡°As for the little princess, what should you do? ¡ª¡ªLittle princess, I¡¯m going back to Qujing, Yunnan to officially take office after the Chinese New Year.  You have to go back to Guangdong sometime, thousands of miles away, you can hardly even see him disgusting, so what are you afraid of?"

    Shang Wanyan was stunned for a moment, then her heart sank, she slowly opened Fatty Lu's ears, and muttered in a low voice: "It's true, I don't need to look at him disgustingly, let alone look at you  It's even more disgusting." She said arrogantly, but Shang Wanyan's tone was very low.

    "Little princess, it's too sad for you to say that." Fatty Lu said aggrievedly: "The humble person has good intentions for you, and has never done anything sorry for you. He is so handsome and handsome, and I dare not say that he is more handsome than you."  Pan An, it's not a big problem to surpass Song Yu, how can you say that looking at me is more disgusting?"

    Shang Wan gave Fatty Lu a white look, and she didn't even have the strength to scold Fatty Lu for being shameless.  Fatty Lu took the opportunity to test: "Little Princess, in fact, if you don't say that, I would risk my beheading and take you to Yunnan. If you comment on me like that, then I really can't do anything about it."  It¡¯s gone, and I don¡¯t even have the qualifications to risk my head.¡±

    "Take me to Yunnan?" Shang Wanyan's heart moved, but she hummed: "Going to Yunnan with you? You have a good idea! Why should I go with you?"

    "Little princess, I have a good heart." Fatty Lu fanned the flames: "After the incident in Fujian, I can understand the low position. You are very much loved by the prince and princess, but your brothers,  For you, it's really a bitthat, so I have been thinking that you, little princess, might be happier if you don't live in Guangdong, so I came up with the idea of ??taking you back to Yunnan."

    "Whimsical." Shang Wanyi said coldly: "I have no relatives or reasons in Yunnan, and I have no relatives. What are you going to do in Yunnan? Who will take care of me?"

    "The humble official is willing to serve the little princess." Fatty Lu plucked up his courage, took Shang Wanyi's little hand, stared at Shang Wanyi's beautiful eyes and said solemnly: "When I arrive in Yunnan, I will definitely take care of you and love you in every possible way."  , as long as you want, I can take care of you for the rest of your life."

    Shang Wanyan is not stupid, of course she can understand Fatty Lu's implication, she tried her best to grab Lu Fatty's clutches in embarrassment, but when she found that she couldn't get away from the struggle, Shang Wanyan had to turn her face away, blushing and said: "  You want to be beautiful, and you don¡¯t look in the mirror to see your own appearance? With your appearance, you also want to imitate Sima Xiangru? Are you not afraid that my father will cut you off? "

    "Wanyi, as long as you are willing to be Zhuo Wenjun, so what if I will be Sima Xiangru for a while?" Fatty Lu knew that the more a lady like Shang Wanyi, the less young men he came into contact with.  , That is to scoop out the vegetables in the basket.  So Fatty Lu is not afraid of nausea, so he simply said with a glib tongue: "For you, I am willing to take the risk of beheading, and I am willing to give up my current official position and power, and I can even abandon my wealth.  I have no complaints or regrets. I am indeed a bit ugly, but I am very gentle"

    "Bah! Bah! Bah!" When Fatty Lu said something, Shang Wanyi blushed and blushed, and in the end, Shang Wanyi simply covered it with her little hand.In the eleventh century, more lottery tickets should be bought.  At the end, Fatty Lu held up the copybook again hypocritically, and said, "My lord, don't blame me, Mr. Lin is a senior elder, and he likes this copybook so much, so I won't dedicate it to you. Mr. Lin, you  If you like it, I will honor it to you as a junior."

    "Of course, Mr. Lin is a senior, so it should be dedicated to him first." Wu Yingxiong nodded with a smile.

    "What did you give me?" Lin Tianqing calmed down a little, and suggested kindly: "Because the emperor likes Dong Qichang's calligraphy, the price of Dong Qichang's calligraphy and painting in the capital has increased several times!  The hard-to-find Dong Qichang's "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing" was given to you, and you should dedicate it to the emperor."

    "That's right." Wu Yingxiong also echoed: "Anyway, Yifeng, you will go to the palace the day after tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor, so you can dedicate it to the emperor when the time comes. When the emperor is happy, it will be beneficial to your future."

    "This" Fatty Lu hesitated a bit. Fatty Lu didn't feel sorry for the authentic work of Dong Qichang's "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing" as a gift to Lin Tianqing or Wu Yingxiong¡ªafter all, Lin Tianqing and Wu Yingxiong are both Han Chinese, and the treasures of the Han people are given to them.  Just give it to them.  But to give it to Xiao Mazi, a tartar, Fatty Lu was extremely distressed¡ª¡ªHistorically, how many cultural treasures of the Chinese nation were ruined by Kang Xiaomazi and his beast descendants engaging in literary inquisition?

    Thinking of this, Fatty Lu said casually: "Well, Senior Lin is determined not to accept it. Thank you Senior Lin for giving back that humble job."

    After a few more gossips, Fatty Lu remembered that Shang Wanyi was still waiting for him to deliver the meal, so he quickly accused Wu Yingxiong, Lin Tianqing and others, and led Fang Shiyu and Xiao Erlang to find Shang Wanyi with food boxes.  On the way, Fatty Lu left the box behind, wrapped the calligraphy in a random cloth, handed it to Xiao Erlang and said, "Erlang, you will go to Liulichang alone later, and sell this calligraphy in a shop.  Don¡¯t sell anything below three thousand taels, and the extra silver will be yours.¡±

    "Sold it?" Xiao Erlang was stunned, and asked in surprise: "Master, didn't the son and Master Lin ask you to dedicate this calligraphy to the emperor? Why are you selling it again? What are you giving the emperor as a New Year greeting?"

    "Don't worry, I've already prepared two better gifts." Fatty Lu smiled slightly and said, "Three thousand taels of silver, is it enough for us to go back to Qujing for many important things?"

    ?

    (ps: The 8,000-character chapter is updated, please ask for a monthly ticket. The network is still not restored, and it was uploaded to a friend's home Netcom, so the update is late, please understand.)

    After tossing and tossing for a long time, the first day of the first month of the seventh year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty finally came.  For Fatty Lu, this was destined to be an extremely hard day.

    On New Year¡¯s Eve, I accompanied Wu Yingxiong, his wife, monk Wanyi and others to have a New Year¡¯s Eve dinner, gave gifts to Wu Yingxiong¡¯s eldest son, Wu Shifan, who had just turned three years old, and paid New Year¡¯s greetings to Wu Yingxiong, Princess Jianning, Lin Tianqing and Shang Wanyi, and then returned to his own  The room accepts New Year's greetings from dog legs.  After tossing about these virtual rituals, it was already half past midnight on the first day of the new year.  He hurriedly prepared and checked the things for the New Year's greetings when he entered the palace the next day. It was Yin time, and he was confused on the kang for a while.  Got up, cursing the perverted etiquette of the Tartar court, while washing and changing clothes, ready to report outside Zhengyang Gate.

    Knowing that Fatty Lu is entering the palace for the first time to participate in the New Year's Ceremony, Wu Yingxiong and Lin Tianqing, who are both pretty good to Fatty Lu, have kindly given advice to him.  It takes a long time, and the ground is freezing cold in winter. Wearing this pair of knee pads can reduce the risk of arthritis, and at the same time, people can relax.  Lin Tianqing sent his personal attendants to send some dried dates to Fatty Lu, and warned Fatty Lu to drink less water and not to eat. He was so hungry that he could use the dried dates hidden in his sleeve to satisfy his hunger.  Fatty Lu also sincerely thanked him for picking up.

    "Damn it, the Kang Xiaomazi family are so fucking perverted, how did they come up with so many perverted rules?"

    Changed to other seven-pin sesame official stalls, and someone helped arrange a good seat when entering the palace to participate in the New Year's ceremony. No matter how cumbersome and troublesome the etiquette is, I will be happy, but who is Fatty Lu?  At the thought of going into the palace and kneeling for several hours in front of the pockmarked emperor, Fatty Lu became furious!  In anger, Fatty Lu suddenly had a plan. He found an excuse to send Erlang and the Liu family brothers out temporarily, and then brought in the gift he was going to give Xiao Mazi, removed the silk silk, opened his trousers and took out the living room.  The son poured water on the gift, and still muttered, "My Lord will give you some fertilizer, so that your Qing Dynasty will prosper and prosper for thousands of years!"

    Packed up and dressed up, Fatty Lu gave the dog legs a day off, and then personally brought gifts to the gate to meet Wu Yingxiong, Lin Tianqing and others.  At the same time, Princess Jianning also came out with Shang Wanyi, planning to personally lead Shang Wanyi into the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the old witch of Xiaozhuang¡ª¡ªWu Yingxiong also kindly prepared a precious gift for Shang Wanyi out of his own pocket.  The righteousness of the world brother.  It was only now that Wu Yingxiong, Lin Tianqing and others discovered that Fatty Lu had two gifts, one was a long box wrapped in silk, and the other was a cylinder covered in silk.  Lin Tianqing couldn't help asking curiously: "Lord Lu, what is your second gift? Why didn't I hear you mention it before?"

    "Senior Lin, please forgive me for making a fool of myself." Fatty Lu said with a smile: "This is a good thing that I specially prepared for the emperor. I plan to surprise the emperor, and the mystery will be revealed at that time."

    "Well, it's up to you." Lin Tianqing didn't bother to delve into it, but he kindly warned: "However, this matter is not a joke. It's not a big deal. Today is a special day. If it is suspected of violating taboos, it is best not to give it away."

    "Thank you senior for your guidance. This junior understands that this junior won't make fun of his own head." Fatty Lu replied with a smile.  Lin Tianqing thought so, so he didn't say anything else, but he and Fatty Lu got into the sedan chair provided by Wu Yingxiong's mansion, and followed Wu Yingxiong's four-carrying silver sedan chair and Princess Jianning's phoenix chariot, all the way to Zhengyangmen, causing disaster.  However, Xiao Erlang, Fang Shiyu, Li Tianzhi and other dog legs accompanied Zhu Fangdan to the streets of the capital to steal chickens and dogs and molested women.

    Halfway through Mao, Fatty Lu and his party arrived at Zhengyang Gate smoothly. Princess Jianning, who had to enter the harem to pay New Year's greetings, took Shang Wanyi to the Xihua Gate to enter the palace. Fatty Lu, Wu Yingxiong and others got off the sedan chair outside Zhengyang Gate, waiting  The Ministry of Rituals arranged for a lineup to enter the palace.  At this moment, the outside of Zhengyangmen was already full of people. Officials of all sizes kept pouring in from all directions. They gathered outside Zhengyangmen where the wind and snow were blowing. They saluted each other and said auspicious words.

    "Yifeng, it's your first time in the capital, don't understand the rules, don't run around." Also taking this opportunity, Wu Yingxiong, who was specially ordered to wear a yellow jacket, told Fatty Lu: "If you don't understand, just ask me or Lin."  My lord, there are too many people, don't get separated from us, it will be troublesome if we can't find anyone when we enter the palace."

    Fatty Lu nodded his thanks, while Lin Tianqing pulled Fatty Lu to an old man wearing a second-rank official uniform, and said: "Yifeng, this is Mr. Huang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. Hurry up and salute him. This time, thanks to him for giving you  A good location has been arranged, and I will give you a chance to show your face."

    ?Looking at the box, I saw the wooden box with the bottom of the yellow silk, which contained a beautiful bong made of silver, and a jade box.  Xiao Mazi picked up the pipe in one hand and the jade box in the other, and asked suspiciously, "Lu Aiqing, what is this?"

    "Why isn't it "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing"?!" Kong Sizhen, the Shang brothers, the Geng brothers, Wu Yingxiong, Li Tianyu, Lin Tianqing and others were dumbfounded, and then both Wu Yingxiong and Lin Tianqing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a big stone in their hearts  When it finally landed, Kong Sizhen, monk Zhixiao and the others almost shouted, "Where's our "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing" sticker? Where did it go? It's a good thing worth several thousand taels!"

    "Return to the emperor, these are smoking guns and Eight Banners drug ointment." Fatty Lu said seriously: "When I was studying Western literature, I accidentally discovered that if this drug is used to smoke, it can cultivate the body and strengthen the body.  , prevent all diseases, keep away from medicine stones, and also have magical effects such as beautifying and beautifying, refreshing and analgesic, strengthening the brain and nourishing the marrow, etc. Western dignitaries, nobles, scholars and wise men are all proud of taking this drug, which is extremely precious.  Although in the Qing Dynasty there were drugs handed down from Western vassal states, most of them were used as medicine stones, and few were used for inhalation. The humble minister has the courage to present such a fetish to the emperor, just to ask the emperor to give it a try and raise dragons  Tens of thousands of years."

    "Afurong, I have read about it in ancient books, it is indeed a rare and good medicine, but it has so many effects when used for inhalation, I have never heard of it before." Xiao Mazi nodded and asked curiously  Said: "But Lu Aiqing, why do you call A Furong the Eight Banners Fushou Gao?"

    "Returning to the emperor, how can such a noble elixir be passed down to the world and let ordinary people use it?" Fatty Lu said respectfully, "That's why I dared to change the name of this medicine to Baqi Fushou Ointment, just to hope that the world will remember this.  It is precious and cannot be abused by the people. It can only be enjoyed exclusively by us in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. Help our soldiers in the Eight Banners to be strong and strong, skilled in bows and horses, victorious in every battle, and rule the country for thousands of years!"

    "So that's how it is." Xiao Mazi nodded thoughtfully, and after a while, Xiao Mazi said: "Then I will let someone try it first, and if it really has such an effect, then I will issue a decree and formally release this medicine."  Name it Eight Banners Fushou Ointment, and list it as a special item for my Eight Banners soldiers."

    "Thank you, Lord Long En." Fatty Lu kowtowed, and then kindly suggested: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Empress Dowager Lafayette suffered from migraines, and Ao Zhongtang had many old injuries.  Sleep, and ask them to take two mouthfuls of Eight Banners Fushou Ointment, if it doesn't work, I will accept the crime of deceiving the king with big words."

    "There is still this matter?" Xiao Mazi became more and more interested, looked up at Ao Bai who was not far away and said with a smile: "Ao Zhongtang, did you hear that? Are you interested in trying?"

    "I do have a lot of old wounds on my body, if this medicine really has such a miraculous effect, I really want to try it." Aobai nodded, then smiled at Fatty Lu: "Master Lu, send me some as well some other day,  If it is really so effective, this old man must be rewarded heavily."

    "Obey, I'll remember my humble position." Fatty Lu agreed straight away - to send Eight Banners medicines to people like Aobai, this is a great deed that Fatty Lu couldn't wish for.

    "Damn, why didn't this fat man give away "Bai Juyi's Pipa"? Where did that copybook go?" Seeing Fatty Lu's right and left, Kong Sizhen and others were inevitably even more jealous, and it was extremely strange¡ªthe "Bai Juyi" by Dong Qichang  "Pipa Xing", where did it go?

    "Your Majesty, I also have a noble gift for my emperor." Seeing Fatty Lu talking in front of Xiao Mazi, Liancheng County Magistrate Xie Dong standing next to Lu Fatty finally couldn't hold back, and saw Xiao Mazi's mood again.  Very good, so I bravely held up the gift box in my hand and said loudly: "My minister Xie Dong has heard about the emperor's wonderful brushwork for a long time, and he especially likes Dong Qichang's calligraphy. I have exhausted all my family resources and bought the authentic work of Dong Qichang's "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing".  Accept!"

 Chapter 71 Lu Sanhao

    ?

    Liancheng County Magistrate Xie Dongxie also deserves the coffee table. I have never seen or experienced the auspicious power of Fatty Lu, a big scourge. When I saw Fatty Lu exchanged a evergreen tree worth less than ten cents for a yellow mandarin jacket and a handle  Yu Ruyi saw that Fatty Lu was in a good mood, and Xiao Mazi was in a good mood. The usually timid Master Xie didn't know where he got a burst of courage. Relying on the goods in his hands, he knelt down and held himself up in both hands.  Treasure bought with a lot of money, boldly said loudly:

    "My minister, Xie Dong, has heard of the emperor's wonderful brushwork for a long time, and he especially likes Dong Qichang's calligraphy. This minister exhausted his family resources and bought the authentic work of Dong Qichang's "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing". Please accept it from the emperor!"

    Much to Master Xie's disappointment, he had finally plucked up the courage to make a show of himself, but after the words were spoken, the wise and mighty Emperor Kang Mazi not only didn't look ecstatic or happy, but was stunned, and then his pockmarked face showed anger.  Over there, Wu Yingxiong, Lin Tianqing, Kong Sizhen, Shang brothers, Geng brothers, Li Tianyu and others were all stunned and tongue-tied, almost suspecting that their ears had misheard.  Only Fatty Lu was slightly startled, glanced at Xie Dong, and said in his heart: "It turned out that he was bought by this kid again. I'm lucky. This time I can get some small prizes."

    "What did you just say?" Xiao Mazi finally spoke, staring into Xie Dong's eyes, and asked with incomparable majesty: "What gift are you going to present to me?"

    "Back to the emperor, I'm going to present" Mr. Xie was frightened by Xiao Mazi's eyes, and replied tremblingly: "The authentic copybook of Dong Qichang's "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing", please accept it from the emperor."

    Such a big joke was made at the New Year's New Year's New Year's Writing and Sealing Ceremony for the first time after pro-government. Xiao Mazi almost wanted to strangle Xie Dong to death. He wanted to cover up this scandal. Over there Ao  But Bai said that he would not let go of this opportunity to beat the dog in the water - Ao Zhongtang was very willing to do it to attack Xiao Mazi's prestige and authority.  So Ao Shaobao turned his eyes, and immediately shouted loudly: "Bold slave, you dare to bring the stolen goods to our emperor, come, someone, take this dog slave down for me!"

    Ao Shaobao's breath was full of energy, his voice was like a bell, and when he drank loudly, everyone in the square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony could hear him clearly, and everyone was speechless¡ªthey presented the stolen goods to the emperor at the New Year's Ceremony, and they were exposed on the spot  It seems that such a scandal has never happened in thousands of years.  When Mr. Xie Dongxie heard this, he almost peed out of fright, kowtowed desperately, and shouted: "Your Majesty, I am wronged! The treasures offered by my minister are not stolen goods, they were stolen by my minister the afternoon before yesterday.  Liulichang bought it for 4,500 taels of silver! Your Majesty, I am wronged, my minister is wronged!"

    "The afternoon before yesterday?" Wu Yingxiong was not stupid, and immediately seized this opportunity to fight back, and knelt down in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say. Just now, Lord Shangzhi Xiaoshang said that his authentic painting of Dong Qichang was made the day before yesterday."  It was stolen between night and yesterday morning, and it has been reported to the Shuntian Mansion for record. And this Mr. Xie bought it in the afternoon of the day before yesterday.

    Hearing Wu Yingxiong's words, this time it was finally Kong Sizhen's monk's brother and others who looked ashen.  Xiao Mazi and Aobai both reacted quickly, "That's right, this time is wrong. Shang Zhixiao's home is the original Dong Qichang's work that was lost between the night before yesterday and the early morning of yesterday. Why did Xie Dong buy it at Liulichang the afternoon before yesterday?"

    Discovering this contradiction, Xiao Mazi held on to the last ray of hope, quickly snatched the gift box from Xie Dong's hand, opened it, took out the copybook and examined it carefully, and a few more prestigious people present, such as Aobai and Ye Bilong, also surrounded him  , together with Xiao Mazi to identify the authenticity of the copybook.  Over there, Kong Sizhen and the others prayed to God and Buddha in their hearts, "God bless, it must be fake, and it must not be true. If it is fake, Xie Dong, a dog slave, will die if he doesn't get involved.  On the old men. If it is true, then it will be troublesome."

    "It's true! Your Majesty, this is the real work of Dong Qichang!" Aobai's roar shattered the last hope of Kong Sizhen and others¡ªin fact, Ao Shaobao, who is not inferior to Lu Fatzi, has no ability to appraise cultural relics at all.  The bigger the incident, the bigger the blow to Xiao Mazi's prestige and authority, right?  So Ao Shaobao didn't hesitate, just yelled, "Your Majesty, this matter must be investigated carefully. Why did Lord Shang and the others lose this authentic painting the night before yesterday? This dog slave bought it at Liulichang the afternoon before yesterday? Could it be that  The thing grew wings and flew to Liulichang by itself?"

    Of course Xiao Mazi knew Ao Shaobao's sinister intentions, but it was a pity that this copybook was indeed Dong Qichang's authentic handwriting, so although Xiao Mazi was trembling with anger, he had nothing to say.  In desperation, Xiao Mazi could only shout: "Shang Zhixiao! Shang Zhili! Li Tianyu!"

    "The slave is here." The three unlucky guys came out together, afraid to go directly in front of Xiao Mazi in fear.It happened to hit Shang Zhixiao's heart, Geng Juzhong was fine, Shang Zhixiao once held the military power in Guangdong on behalf of his father, but unfortunately his ability was not as good as that of his brother Shang Zhixin, so Shang Kexi personally wiped it down¡ªthis time  Even if Shang Zhixiao sacrificed the Pingnan Palace and the entire San Francisco, and exchanged for a prince from the Pingnan Palace who was canonized by the imperial court, would he really be able to sit still after returning to Guangzhou?

    "I'll stop here. Brother Zhixiao and Brother Zhili, please think twice." Wu Yingxiong observed his words and said calmly, "Yifeng, let's go."

    "Wait." Shang Zhixiao made up his mind, quickly called Wu Yingxiong to stop, and said in a low voice to Wu Yingxiong: "Brother Yingxiong, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and my younger brother plans to join hands with Brother Juzhong to pay New Year's greetings at the house tonight.  Brother Ying Xiong, do you have time tonight?"

    Having said that, Shang Zhixiao hastily added, "Of course, we won't take irrelevant people with us."

    "Brother Zhixiao and Brother Juzhong are here, and my younger brother will sweep the bed and wait." Wu Yingxiong said with a smile: "As for the irrelevant people-brother Zhixiao, don't worry, since the seventeenth year of Shunzhi, she has never had the face to post on my account.  Door."

    ps: Sorry, in the last chapter, Huang Ji, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was written as a second-rank official. In fact, the six ministers of the Qing Dynasty should be from the first-rank, and the Ming Dynasty is the second-rank official.  I hereby apologize.

    ?

    (ps: Friends should have a second monthly pass? Please give it to Pure Wolf.)

    Kang Mazi's current imperial court is like a new machine, which is about to run in and be on the track of normal operation.  What I have to do is to secretly remove a few screws on the core components of this machine, pull out a few fixing bolts, replace a few tubes of lubricating oil and a few sealing rubber rings, and install one or two different screws if I have a chance.  With suitable gears, when the machine is running fast, it can be scrapped logically.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    It's easy to talk but hard to do real things. In the past few days in the capital, although a few traitors and foreign devils have been tricked miserably, the two real San Francisco confidantes are in great trouble.  You can't catch them, and you can't set them up.  And these two scourges that Fatty Lu hated to the bone were naturally Xiao Mazi's two powerful accomplices in quelling the San Francisco Rebellion in history-Tu Hai and Yue Le.

    These two scourges can't be rectified. It's really no wonder that Fatty Lu is incompetent. The origin of these two scourges is too great. Although Tu Hai's background is not as good as Yue Le's, he has been sealed as a slave in the 12th year of Shunzhi in the former Qing Dynasty.  The first-rank prince Taibao, in charge of the Ministry of Punishment and a bachelor of the Hongwen Academy, ranked third among the 15 bachelors of the Shunzhi Dynasty. After Kang Mazi succeeded to the throne, Tuhai was named the governor of Manzhou in the Zhenghuang Banner, and he was appointed as the University of Hongwen Academy.  He is a scholar, and hereditary as a first-class captain of light vehicles, he walks in the study and participates in government affairs. Such a great man, who is now only a seventh-rank sesame official, can afford to provoke Fatty Lu?

    That's all for Tu Hai, the more difficult thing is Yue Le, this guy is not only Xiao Mazi's cousin, but also has made great military exploits. He once killed the famous Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Damo with his own hands.  Appointing Han landlords and gentry to ease ethnic conflicts is a rare reformist and practical faction of the Yezhupi family. He was named Prince An and has a higher title than Wu Sangui. How can Fatty Lu provoke such a person?

    What's more troublesome is that ever since Shunzhi appointed four ministers of Gu Ming to assist the government, Yue Le, who knew that he was in danger, was very smart and took the initiative to hand over all the power, hid at home and lived in seclusion, and took the initiative to cut off all ties with the old ministry.  Such a smart person, don't say that Fatty Lu set him up, even if he just wants to see him, how can he be pulled out like a screw?

    It is also because of this that Fatty Lu inevitably wants to take the opportunity to get in touch with these two scourges when he comes to Tiren Pavilion to enjoy the delicious food from the imperial kitchen¡ªafter all, Fatty Lu is destined to fight with these two powerful enemies on the battlefield in the future.  For those who are more competitive, it is always good to take this opportunity to learn about future rivals.

    After drinking for three rounds, the various officials began to toast each other politely. Fatty Lu specially agreed to sit at the head of the third table. The person at the same table was either the prince or Baylor. The officials were all older than Fatty Lu.  Neglect, stood up and filled the wine glass with Prince Baylor at the same table, held his own wine glass with both hands, and said respectfully: "My lords, my lords of Baylor, I am fortunate to be seated at the same table with you by the grace of the Lord.  Respect to all princes, Lord Baylor, please."

    Fatty Lu's attitude can be regarded as respectful, but it is a pity that the princes at the table, Baylor, didn't seem to hear Fatty Lu's words. They just talked to each other and despised Fatty Lu to the bone.  Fortunately, when Fatty Lu was extremely embarrassed, a middle-aged man wearing a flat yellow dragon robe sitting in the second seat raised his wine glass, touched Fatty Lu lightly, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu, please."

    As if being pardoned, Fatty Lu hurriedly drank face to face with the middle-aged man, which barely relieved his embarrassment. Unfortunately, the middle-aged man was a taciturn person.  Chew slowly.  Fatty Lu also knew that it was difficult for him to integrate into such a circle, so he asked the middle-aged man cheekily: "My lord, where is Prince An sitting? Can you give me some pointers, I want to visit him  one time."

    "I am Yue Le." The middle-aged man asked with some doubts: "Master Lu, what do you want from me?"

    "What a coincidence, you are Yue Le?" Fatty Lu was a little dumbfounded, and quickly scrutinized his future rival, and found that Yue Le was in his early forties, with a majestic Chinese character face, thick and black eyebrows lying on the silkworm, and under the eyebrows.  A pair of eyes glistened, and at first glance, he was not such an easy-to-provoke character.  Fatty Lu hurriedly raised his wine glass with both hands, and said respectfully: "Prince An, I don't know the identity of the prince in a humble position. If I am disrespectful, I hope the prince will forgive me. The purpose of looking for the prince in a humble position is to thank him face to face."

    "Why do you want to thank me?" Yue Le was even more puzzled.

    "My lord, Lu Yifeng's grandfather has a direct brother who was doing business in Sichuan the next year." Fatty Lu babbled nonsense, "After the traitor Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, he died tragically.nbsp; "So that's how it is. I am so humble and ignorant that the general laughed at me." Fatty Lu smirked, but sneered in his heart: "This old man Ao, I really don't know whether he is loyal or stupid, leaving a good helper like Murima to live idle in Beijing  , and I don¡¯t want to find a way to squeeze him into the key department¡ªif Xiao Mazi attacked Old Man Ao in history, if the admiral of the Nine Sects was not Wu Liuyi but Murima, Old Man Ao would die so badly?¡±

    "It's nothing. If you want to blame it, you can blame my elder brother. He is too honest. I am afraid that people will say that he is nepotism and refuses to arrange a fat job for me."  Everyone is very strange, asking me why I am not even qualified to go to court?"

    Fatty Lu continued to smirk, while Murima said again: "Master Lu, you have a sedan chair, I have to find a place to avoid the snow. It's snowing again in this damn weather." After finishing speaking, Murima turned around and left.

    "General Murima, please wait." Fatty Lu suddenly felt his heart move, and blurted out to stop Murima.

    "What's the matter?" Murima turned back in doubt.

    "It doesn't matter, if you change the history, you can change the history. Perhaps the track of history will develop in a better direction. If you miss this village, there will be no such store anymore." Fatty Lu gritted his teeth, squeezed out a smile on his fat face, and said  : "General Murima, I'm taking the liberty, I want to find a place with you to avoid the snow, drink tea and talk a few words - I have a very wonderful story, I want to tell you."

    "What story?" Murima was taken aback.

    "It's a story about how a general with strong martial arts carelessly lost Jingzhou and was plotted by a group of young people." Fatty Lu replied with a smile: "I can guarantee it with a humble position. After hearing this, General Murima will definitely be enlightened."

    ?

    "General Murima, the humble position can guarantee." Fatty Lu said to Murima very seriously: "If the general listens to the story told by the humble position, he will definitely be inspired."

    "Mulima, this is the only chance that the Lord has given you Guerjia brothers." After speaking earnestly, Fatty Lu said more seriously in his heart: "I was afraid that I would completely change the course of history, and even make Wu Sangui unable to rebel.  I'm even more afraid that leaving Ao Bai, an experienced veteran who is difficult to deal with on the battlefield, I don't want to get involved in this matter, but seeing that I have misunderstood your Ao family brothers for so many years, I will give you a chance.  Given this opportunity, whether you can seize it or not depends on you.¡±

    "Tell me a story, surely it will inspire you?" It's also the brothers of the Ao family who are blessed to the heart. They are known for their roughness and irascibility. First, because there is nothing to do at this meeting, and second, seeing Fatty Lu's serious expression, she made a strange mistake.  He agreed: "Well, anyway, I have nothing else to do at this meeting. I know there is a teahouse near here, which is specially used for officials entering the palace to rest and wait. Let's go sit and listen to your stories while hiding from the snow."

    Fatty Lu nodded, and then Murima led the way, leading Fatty Lu to a small alley between Meridian Gate and Qianmen. There was indeed a teahouse in the alley. Murima asked the boss to prepare a private room and brought a charcoal basin.  He ordered another pot of good tea and some snacks, sat down face to face with Fatty Lu, and then said with a smile: "Master Lu, tell me quickly, the general is all ears, and I will go to the palace gate to pick up my elder brother for a while."

    "General Murima, can you let your people occupy the two rooms next door?" Fatty Lu said cautiously: "Also, please arrange the most reliable people to guard the door and the window of this room."

    "Lord Lu, what's the story? Is it necessary to do this?" No matter how careless Murima was, she could tell that something was wrong, and asked Fatty Lu in surprise.  Fatty Lu didn't answer, but his expression became more serious.  Murima stared at Fatty Lu for a while, and finally couldn't hold back her curiosity. She got up and went out to arrange for her confidants to guard the front, back, left, and right sides of the room. Even the beams of the room were manned to prevent people from being stolen.  It was possible to listen, and then he returned to the room and said, "Okay, Mr. Lu, everything is arranged according to what you said, can we talk now?"

    "Don't blame General Murima." Fatty Lu cupped his hands, "But after hearing this story, General Murima, you will definitely understand the difficulties of being humble."

    "Come on, you're killing me." Murima, whose appetite was completely whetted, urged, and filled a cup of tea for Fatty Lu and himself.

    "Thank you, General." Fatty Lu thanked him, took the hot teacup, held the hot teacup and said slowly: "General Murima, I want to tell this story.  There is a story that happened in a western country. In that country called Daman, there was a young king and a meritorious veteran minister. The young king ascended the throne at the age of eight, and was assisted by four veteran ministers. Later, the four veteran ministers died.  Two, and there is an old official who is old and sick and doesn't care about things, and all the important affairs of the Daman court are decided by the last old official."

    "In the end, this old minister seems to be surnamed Gua. I can't remember the specific title. I only know that he has made great contributions. He has made countless contributions to the little king's family. He is the number one warrior in Daman¡ªthat's fine.  Like the first Baturu."

    Fatty Lu's words were not very cryptic, and even a bit explicit. Of course Murima understood who Fatty Lu was really talking about. Murima held her breath and listened patiently.  Fatty Lu continued on his own: "Six years after he ascended the throne, the 14-year-old little king married the queen and became involved in politics. At this time, the old minister surnamed Gua and the little emperor had conflicts.  The old minister surnamed Gua killed several treacherous ministers whom the little king liked. The little king was very angry and felt that the old minister surnamed Gua had too much power, so he wanted to take back the power of the veteran minister and kill the whole family of the veteran minister surnamed Gua¡ª  ¡ªOf course it also includes this old minister¡¯s brother.¡±

    "The little king even wants to kill the old minister's brother?" Murima raised her eyebrows,

    "Of course." Fatty Lu nodded, and said: "The old minister surnamed Gua is too powerful. Most of the important officials of the Daman court are his people, and his brothers are very good at fighting. There are countless old troops in the army.  If the little king wants to kill the old minister surnamed Gua, but doesn¡¯t kill his own brother, what if his own brother leads troops to rebel?¡±

    "Are you sure that the little king will kill the old minister surnamed Gua?" Murima asked nervously: "The veteran surnamed Gua has made so many contributions and is so loyal to the little king's father. The little king wants to kill him too?"

    "The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking, and the bird is dead and the bow is hidden. It is the same in ancient and modern China and abroad." Fatty Lu said unhurriedly: "But I just heard this story by accident, and I don't know if it is true.  Mary??But I don¡¯t know why, only a short break in the middle, Ao Zhongtang, who had always been very tough before, suddenly changed his position, and brought many cronies to support us in Yunnan and Guizhou to increase the salary, so as to prevent the resurgence of the Shuixi chieftain, and to wipe out  The remnants of the pre-Ming Dynasty on the border of Yunnan.  "

    "Ao Zhongtang suddenly changed his position, why?" Fatty Lu was very surprised.

    "How do I know?" Wu Yingxiong gave Fatty Lu a white look, and said again: "In short, Ao Zhongtang suddenly became very firm in his support for increasing wages in Yunnan and Guizhou.  He also asked his confidant, Minister of the Household Department, Marseille, to figure out the necessary military expenses for our Yunnan-Guizhou¡ªdamn, I really don¡¯t know how that old Marseille figured out, it was 10% higher than our estimated necessary expenses  A lot! In the end, Ao Zhongtang decided to give us 3.6 million taels in Yunnan and Guizhou!"

    "Seeing this, I was frightened, so I took the initiative to give in and agreed to the emperor's price of 3.4 million taels." Wu Yingxiong smiled wryly, and said, "In this way, Kong Sizhen, who has already taken the initiative to ask the order to disarm the army and cut the salary,  It was a big misfortune, I couldn¡¯t keep my words back, and the court tried to find a balance, cut off 450,000 taels of military pay, and had to lay off 4,000 troops.¡±

    "Haha, it's fun, it's fun!" Fatty Lu slapped his thigh quietly, screaming in his heart - this time when Kong Sizhen returned to Guangxi, the gang of old Qiuba in Guangxi might have the desire to fuck her to death.

    "Let's go back and talk about it in detail. This is not the place." Wu Yingxiong waved his hand and said, "Anyway, I really want to thank Ao Zhongtang for his help this time. Let's go back and discuss how to thank him."

    "Of course." Fatty Lu agreed, and was about to help Wu Yingxiong into the sedan chair, when Oboi's hearty laughter came from behind him, "Nephew Yingxiong, Mr. Sanhao, are you going back so soon? Why don't you go to my husband's house?  "

    "Greetings to Ao Zhongtang." Wu Yingxiong and Lu Fatty didn't dare to neglect, they quickly turned around to salute, but saw Ao Bai leading a large group of henchmen and running dogs with a smile on his face, and Ao Bai's younger brother Murima was also following him.

    "You're welcome, you're welcome." Smiling, Oboi helped Wu Yingxiong and Lu Fatty up one by one, and said to Wu Yingxiong with a smile: "Nephew Yingxiong, this year I gave your father an additional 400,000 taels of military pay, is that enough? If not enough  Just open your mouth, I will find a way for you, now that the Central Plains has basically settled down, the national treasury and the internal treasury can be relaxed, your father's side is hard, you should add more."

    "Should be enough." Wu Yingxiong was frightened by Aobai's previous arrogance and embarrassment, and hurriedly cupped his hands, and said vaguely: "Ao Shaobao's love for our Yungui soldiers and people will never be forgotten by the Pingxi Palace, and today my nephew has not done it."  Get ready, wait for my little nephew to prepare a small gift tomorrow, and then go to the mansion to pay New Year greetings to Mr. Zhongtang."

    "Success, then it's settled. I'll hold a banquet at home tomorrow." Obai clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Yifeng will also come at that time. I also want to hear Yifeng's story."

    "Tell a story? What do you mean?" Wu Yingxiong was taken aback.

    "No way? It turns out that old man Ao suddenly changed his position because of this." Fatty Lu probably guessed something, and smiled bitterly in his heart: "I didn't expect that little story to be sold for so much money. This time, I have to rack my brains to make it up again."  The story explains." (Remember this website URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 74 Fox Tail Revealed

    ?

    In the dispute over the salary, Xiao Mazi didn't lose much in terms of money on the surface - the money lost to Wu Sangui and Geng Jimao in the military salary allocation has been recovered from Shang Kexi and Kong Sizhen, and there is still a little surplus.  But in fact, Xiao Mazi had lost a complete mess. If he hadn't made up for such a small surplus, he would have lost his prestige and lost all face!

    Some friends will definitely ask, since Xiao Mazi did not suffer a big loss from the military salary allocation, and even made a small surplus, why did Xiao Mazi lose so badly?  This point has to start with Xiaomazi's tactical purpose in discussing salary.

    As I said before, Xiao Mazi's strategy for dealing with the San Francisco is to defeat each of them. Among Geng, Shang, and Wu San Francisco, Geng Jimao and his son must guard against Taiwan's Zheng Jing, the last army of the Ming Dynasty, and cannot move around casually; Shang Kexi betrayed his fellow countrymen  It was so sold that he didn't even want the underpants, Xiao Mazi was reluctant to touch it; so Xiao Mazi picked it up, and naturally found that the bad guy named Wu Sangui was neither as important as Geng Jimao and his son, nor as traitorous as Shang Kexi  Shameless, the size, length, fat, short, tall, thin is just the most suitable, so let him be!

    Of course, it is not so easy to deal with Wu Sangui. Neither Xiao Mazi's father Shunzhi nor Qing Dynasty No. 1 Batu Lu Aobai dared to be tough on Wu Sangui.  Moderate means prompted Wu Sangui to disarm, gradually weakening Wu Sangui's strength.  And after Xiao Mazi ascended the throne for six years, although he did not dare to directly use force against Wu Sangui due to various circumstances, he also strengthened his efforts and actions to weaken Wu Sangui.  He knocked the mountains and shook the tiger in the mansion newspaper, forcing Wu Sangui to ask himself to hand over the government affairs management power of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces as a test, and Xiao Mazi took the opportunity to go down the slope.  Then Xiao Mazi made up his mind to beat Wu Sangui again in terms of military pay, cut Wu Sangui's military salary and distributed it to the bannerman masters as lumi, which not only weakened Wu Sangui's overall strength in disguise, but also flattered the Eight Banners masters that Xiao Mazi relied on as his foundation.  They kill two birds with one stone.

    Although Xiao Mazi's plan was good, it's a pity that the sky didn't come true, and he didn't know where the problem was. The Guangxi army, which Xiao Mazi was most assured of, was the first to have a problem, and they rushed to be the first bird to block Wu Sangui's bullets  Then Shang Kexi, who had been at odds with Wu Sangui all his life, also jumped out as if he had taken the wrong medicine, and helped Wu Sangui fight for salary from the court. Coupled with Geng Jimao and his son who had secretly allied with Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui immediately reversed the situation, from defensive to  It became an offensive, but instead forced Xiao Mazi to the corner of the wall.

    There is no way, the little pockmarked man who is riding a tiger can only see the tricks, and is going to make appropriate concessions to cut Wu Sangui's military salary less, so as to save his own face and not really push Wu Sangui into a hurry, so he is trying to figure out Wu Sangui's military salary  After the limit was about 3.5 million taels, Xiao Mazi also quickly adjusted his bottom limit, that is, changed the original cut salary of 1 million taels to 500,000 taels.  With the support of Kong Sizhen and the Shang family brothers who represent Shang Kexi in negotiating salary, Xiao Mazi's plan is almost about to succeed, but what Wu Yingxiong, who is ready to accept as soon as he sees it, did not expect that Oboi, who has been supporting Xiao Mazi with the overall situation in mind  Suddenly, he took the wrong medicine again, and unexpectedly defected to the side of Prince Pingxi's mansion.

    Ao Shaobao opened Jinkou and instead supported Wu Sangui's salary increase, which is naturally a fart of a god-extraordinary!  Most of the civil and military officials agreed together, but the extremely important Minister of the Ministry of Finance, Master Mar Saima, even figured out a military salary expenditure that even Wu Yingxiong thought was unbelievable. He believed that if Wu Sangui was not given an additional military salary, the world would be in chaos, and Yunnan and Guizhou would starve to death.  The remnants of the Ming Dynasty resurfaced when chieftains rebelled everywhere, and Ao Shaobao directly opened his mouth, thinking that at least Wu Sangui should be given an annual military salary of 3.6 million taels!

    In desperation, Xiao Mazi was afraid that Ao Bai would make a scene in front of the dragon case to grab the imperial pen and write the imperial decree in public. Ao Shaobao did this once when he killed Su Nahai last time, so he had to hold his tears  Agreeing to the condition of 3.4 million taels of military salary, Wu Yingxiong, who didn't know where to go, was also frightened by Oboi's sudden defection, fearing that Oboi had no good intentions, so he quickly agreed to the military salary amount, which was four dollars over the limit.  Three-thirds of the tasks assigned by the father were completed.  Jingnan Palace, which is very close to Hepingxi Palace, followed suit and added an extra one hundred thousand taels of silver every year, which was regarded as a little extra pocket money for Geng Jimao and his son.

    Some people are lucky and others are unlucky. The Dingnan Palace and Pingnan Palace, which have been unable to pass through the Pingnan Palace, have been in bad luck. The disarmament and salary cut plan that was proposed before can¡¯t be recovered, so it can only knock down teeth and swallow blood  , Xiao Mazi and Ao Shaobao teamed up to find a balance, the brothers of the Shang family were cut off 600,000 taels of military pay, Kong Sizhen's Guangxi was cut off 450,000 taels, and by the way, 4,000 troops were cut off.  I can't tell if I have hardships, and I know that I have no face to face Jiangdong's elders, and I don't know how to deal with business when I go back.

    the?Put the knee against Shang Zhixiao's lower body, while elbowing Shang Zhixiao firmly to his arm, he said with disheveled hair, "Show me the evidence! Show me the evidence!"

    "I don't have your evidence, but I have Tutang's evidence!" Shang Zhixiao yelled, "Tutang, I have carefully kept the letters you gave me before, if you don't give me an explanation today, it will be a big deal for us  We'll die together! Anyway, I'm going back to Guangdong this time, and I'm sure I'm going to die, so it's good to have a back!"

    "Enough!" Tu Hai roared loudly, his voice was like a bell, and immediately shocked Monk Kong Sizhen's Xiaozhi, "Look for yourself, what do you look like now? Fortunately, you are still the prince of Pingnan Palace and Dingnan Palace  Ge Ge is no different from a rascal fighting on the street!"

    "Tutang." Kong Sizhen's eyes turned red, and she wanted to act like a spoiled child to her old lover.

    "Shut up! Listen to me!" Tuhai yelled again, "Let me go, stand up, change your clothes, and follow me into the palace!"

    "Follow you into the palace? Why?" Monk Kong Sizhen was taken aback by his filial piety.

    "Of course it is to find out the real traitor, the real traitor!" Tu Hai said darkly: "You two idiots were played like a monkey by that fat man named Lu Yifeng, and in the end you were sold by him and you still have to help him count  Money, dog eats dog here, it's really stupid!"

    "Lu Yifeng!" Kong Sizhen and monk Zhixiao exclaimed.

    Tu Hai nodded, and said darkly: "Not long ago, I posted an insider at Murima's house to report¡ªMurima's personal soldiers revealed that this morning, Murima and Lu Yifeng entered a teahouse,  Drived away the guests and servants, and had a long private talk! After leaving the teahouse, Murima immediately went to Xihua Gate, where she had a private talk with Oboi for a period of time. Immediately afterwards, Oboi changed his position  In order to support Wu Sangui, pay more! What does this mean, don¡¯t you all understand?¡±

    "And this thing!" Kong Sizhen was dumbfounded, jumped up after a while, and shouted with dances and dances: "Fatty Lu, I finally found the real evidence that you betrayed the emperor and bullied the king! This time, what will I do with you, a fat man?"  There is no place to die!"

 Chapter 75: Cocooning Yourself (Part 1)

    ?

    This thing kills people, it is safer than hiding in the woods, it is really frightening!  I am always terrified at the sight of a pen, a bottle of ink, and a piece of paper, rather than at the sight of a sword or a gun.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ªMr. Caderousse, a good friend of Count Fernand de Morcerf, one of the accomplices of the famous treacherous and murdered Napoleon in France, when he saw Count Fernand use these weapons to deceive people  explain.

    Danglar and Fernan are two idiots. They clearly hold ironclad evidence that can kill the enemy, but they want to use paper, pen and ink to give the enemy a chance to breathe. Brother, I seriously despise them!  Brother, I cheat people without using paper, pen, let alone ink, and I can still trap the enemy to death!

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªThe famous treacherous and treacherous sycophant in the Qing Dynasty, who was hated by countless snots, was stabbed in the flesh, Lu Yifeng, Lu Sanhao, Lu Da County Magistrate, said so on the second night of the first month of the seventh year of Kangxi.

    What happened that night was like this, at the moment before Suo'etu led Fatty Lu into the palace and handed over the sign to see him, Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Mazizu who were puzzled by Oboi's sudden defection and stood on Wu Sangui's side  Sun suddenly discovered that Oboi's defection was likely to be related to a mysterious, white and fat young man from Yunnan. At this time, the news that Suo'etu led Fatty Lu to secretly seek a meeting also happened to be sent to Yangxin.  temple.  Hearing this news, Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Mazi's grandchildren suddenly remembered that Baibai is fat and full of authentic Yunnan accent, who is Fatty Lu?

    "Hurry up!" The person who solved the puzzle took the initiative to send it to the door, Xiao Mazi decisively ordered, and added according to Suo'etu's request: "Use the old method, let them change into eunuch's clothes and enter the Heart Palace, don't let them  Obai's eyeliner in the palace was discovered."

    The little eunuch led the order and went away, while Xiao Mazi ordered Zhang Wanqiang and other eunuchs to clean up the dragon case that he had overturned, and at the same time said impatiently to Xiaozhuang: "Grandma, if the Yunnan native who met Murima this morning is really Lu Yifeng  , then everything will be easy to handle, we can also figure out why Oboi defected and sided with Wu Sangui."

    "Silly boy, you are so emotional." Xiao Zhuang said with a half-smile, "Yesterday Lu Yifeng built the steps for you and helped you through the difficulties, so you trust him completely? You don't even think about it, if he is really right  You are loyal, why didn't he report to you about his secret meeting with Murima this morning?"

    "The grandson is also surprised about this." Xiao Mazi frowned and said, "This question will be clear when Lu Yifeng comes in later."

    "I hope so." Xiaozhuang smiled, and said calmly: "Grandson, after Lu Yifeng comes in a while, don't believe it lightly. You must not make any decisions without Aijia's nod, let alone  Easily agree with all explanations of Lu Yifeng."

    "Grandmother, are you still suspicious of Lu Yifeng?" Xiao Mazi was a little strange¡ªwhy did his grandmother, and Kong Sizhen, whom he trusted the most, always hostile to Fatty Lu?

    "Grandson, have you ever met a person who doesn't know when to treat you well, let alone when to harm you?" Xiaozhuang asked with a smile, and then said with a serious expression: "Grandma lived to fifty-four  Yes, I have met such people countless times, and I have been driven to a desperate situation by them countless times, so my grandmother has developed a habit of not trusting anyone and having three-point doubts about anyone. Grandson, grandmother  I hope you will also develop such a habit, and in the future, you will definitely meet such people countless times."

    "The grandson understands, and the grandson remembers the teachings of the grandmother." Xiao Mazi knew that this was a lesson learned by his grandmother in exchange for countless blood and tears, so he honestly agreed and remembered it with his heart.

    After another two incense sticks, Suo'etu and Fatty Lu, who were dressed in eunuch uniforms, finally sneaked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation under the cover of Xiaoma's womb, avoiding Oboi's eyeliner.  As soon as they entered the hall, Suo'etu and Fatty Lu knelt down to Xiao Mazi and Xiaozhuang, kowtowed and said: "Slave Suo'etu (Weichen Lu Yifeng) kowtows to see you long live, sees the empress dowager Lafayette, long live my emperor  Years old, Empress Dowager Lafayette, thousand years old, thousand years old."

    "Excuse me, let me be flat." Xiao Mazi said casually.  Having said that, Suo'etu stood up obediently, but Fatty Lu was still crawling there on his knees, his forehead pressed against the ground, motionless, Xiao Mazi was a little strange, and repeated: "Lu Aiqing, I have already given you a flat body,  Didn't you hear?"

    "Go back to the emperor, I heard it." Fatty Lu agreed, and said tremblingly: "But I dare not accept the favor, because I entered the palace to accept the crime from the emperor."

    "Where does the crime of loving Qing come from?" Xiao Mazi raised his eyebrows.

    "Back to the emperor, Gu En is the fault of my minister." Fatty Lu's voice trembled, "The emperor ordered me to secretly monitor the whereabouts of Wu Yingxiong, the son of Prince Pingxi. If he behaves abnormally, he must immediatelyCan they make up the letters from monks here?  "

    La Aunt Su Ma was speechless, while Xiao Mazi nodded emphatically, and said through gritted teeth: "Grandmother is right, I can be sure, this letter is definitely written by Wu Sangui, and it is impossible for others to forge it.  Wu Sangui, a dog slave, has a bit of conscience, and he didn't dare to harm his father, otherwise, I can't spare him no matter what!"

    Trying to calm down the anger in his chest, Xiao Zhuang endured his temper and continued to read the letter Wu Sangui wrote to Oboi, only to find that Wu Sangui slapped Oboi fiercely in the letter, and repeatedly emphasized the importance of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, implying that  If there is a major event for Oboi, Wu Sangui will definitely follow Oboi's lead, and also hint at thanking Oboi again¡ªthis is the legendary bribery of the boss.  And at the end of the letter, apart from greeting Aobai, Wu Sangui also hinted that Xiao Mazi had also asked Wu Sangui about Aobai.

    "When did I ask Wu Sangui about Aobai?" Xiao Mazi was a little surprised.

    "Obviously, Wu Sangui is trying to bluff Oboi, making him suspect that you also want to bribe him, and let him help you deal with Oboi." Xiaozhuang said with a smile: "Wu Sangui, a cunning old dog, has noticed that your majesty and you have a relationship with him."  Oboi's monarch and his ministers are opposed, so he wants to provoke it, wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, let your monarch and his ministers fight among themselves, he takes advantage of the opportunity-hmph, the dog slave has become a little smarter, and actually knows how to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and take advantage of both ends.  "

    "He has a good idea." Xiao Mazi snorted coldly, nodded again and said: "The situation is very obvious now, Oboi just read this letter from Wu Sangui, promising to form an alliance with Oboi, and to collude with Oboi internally and externally against me, Oboi  I was moved, so I switched sides and sided with Wu Sangui, which caught me by surprise."

    "Indeed, if Wu Sangui joins hands with Aobai, it will not be easy to deal with." Xiaozhuang nodded, then said with a sneer: "However, judging from the content of this letter and Wu Yingxiong's performance in discussing salary, Wu Sangui is an old man  It is unlikely that he will help Oboi with all his heart, and his ultimate goal is to step on two boats on top of a wall, as long as we stabilize Wu Sangui for the time being, we can still defeat him and Oboi one by one."

    "It's also thanks to the cleverness and loyalty of Lu Yifeng, a slave, who actually used his own blood to copy this letter and dedicate it to me. Based on this alone, his loyalty to me is far above that of ordinary people." Xiao Mazi smiled  , I am very proud of my own standards of judging people.

    "That's right. It seems that Aijia completely misunderstood Lu Yifeng before. This slave is a rare talent." Xiaozhuang finally admitted that his sixth sense was wrong, and also admitted for the first time that Fatty Lu is a rare talent, pondering  Said: "Fortunately, Wu Sangui only mentioned the matter of Wutai Mountain in this letter, and did not explain in detail what it was¡ªotherwise, no matter how loyal this slave is, he would not be able to stay."

    ("You think I'm stupid? I told you in front of your Xiaozhuang old hag that I know what Mount Wutai is. I can still leave the Forbidden City alive?" Fatty Lu yelled.)

    "Grandmother, since you also think that Lu Yifeng is useful, then I want to keep him in the capital for appointment. This kid is smart, loyal and reliable, and he will definitely be able to do many important things for me." Xiao Mazi said happily.

    Fortunately, Xiao Zhuang's rationality saved the lives of countless Qing Zhongliangs. Xiao Zhuang said with a smile: "Silly boy, if you leave Lu Yifeng in the capital now, isn't that the same as telling Wu Sangui that Lu Yifeng has fallen for you? Besides,  This time, Lu Yifeng successfully helped Wu Yingxiong in negotiating salary, which can be regarded as a small contribution, and Wu Sangui will be reused when he returns to Yunnan, wouldn't it be more beneficial for you to let him go back to Yunnan?"

    Xiao Mazi thought about it carefully, then nodded and said: "Okay then, after Wu Sangui is dealt with, I will recall him back to the capital for reuse. This time, let's give him some other rewards first." Xiao Zhuang nodded, agreeing with Xiao Mazi.  Decide.  Immediately, Xiao Mazi gave another order, "Aunt Su Ma, please go to the side hall and deliver an order to let them all come back."

    Aunt Su Ma agreed, and after a while, Fatty Lu, Suo Etu and others all returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but just after saluting, before Xiao Mazi could speak, Zhang Wanqiang, the chief eunuch of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, said cautiously: "  Your Majesty, Lafayette, there was a report just now, but the slaves did not dare to interrupt. The scholar Tuhai of Hongwen Academy, Si Gege, and the second prince of Pingnan Wang joined hands to ask for an audience. They said that there was an urgent matter, and found that Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Qujing County, Yunnan Province, was discussing the salary today.  There is an act of deceiving the emperor, I hope the emperor can summon him immediately."

    "Your Majesty, I have been wronged!" Fatty Lu howled miserably, and quickly pouted his buttocks and lay down, and howled miserably again in his heart, "It's so dangerous! Thanks to my teacher, I listened to the teacher and thought twice before I was in trouble.  When I went back today and found that something was wrong, Xiao Mazi and the others must investigate why Oboi turned his back on the battlefield, and came up with this method in time to act first! Otherwise, if I don¡¯t die today, then God really will not open his eyes!"

    "Lu Aiqing is alive, I have my own judgment." Xiao Mazi will love Lu Fatty to death and Tu Hai to death. Hearing that Tu Hai came to the villain to sue Lu Fatty Lu, who is recognized by the government and the government and the public, first of all his attitude  Kindly asked Fatty Lu to get up, gritted his teeth again, and squeezed out a sentence, "Xuan!

    "It's weird. I used to hand over the sign to see you. At most, it took fifteen minutes (half an hour) to hear whether I saw you or not. Why is it that it's been more than half an hour today, and there is no news about whether the emperor will summon you or not? What happened?"

    Excitedly ran to the palace to give Fatty Lu eye drops, and wanted to take advantage of Xiao Mazi¡¯s disastrous failure in negotiating wages today, and take advantage of the hard-won truthful evidence that Fatty Lu betrayed Xiao Mazi, so as to make the catastrophe, who is not pleasing to the eye, a disaster.  Fatty Lu was put to death!  To avenge myself and my colleagues, subordinates, and slaves who died innocently and unjustly!  But when I handed over the waist card in front of the gate of the palace, I waited for more than half an hour. The excitement before I came was almost frozen by the cold wind at night, but there was no news from the palace.  Summoned, did not say no.

    Kong Sizhen, who rarely entered the palace, and Shang Zhixiao, who had almost never been in the palace, were fine. Who was Tu Hai?  The so-called handing over the card is just a routine procedure.  Especially at night, as long as I, Kangxi's confidant, handed over the sign, it meant that something big would happen. Even if Kang Xiaomazi was having sex with his wife Hesheli, he would summon him immediately, even faster than during the day.  Today, however, there is still no confirmation. Tu Hai, who also has a strong sixth sense, is unavoidably suspicious and has an ominous premonition.

    "Tutang, don't turn around, I'll make my eyes dizzy." Kong Sizhen complained, and then comforted: "Don't worry, maybe the emperor has something important to do, eunuchs dare not go in to disturb,  Wait patiently for a while and there will be news. Don't worry, our emperor is the most diligent and caring emperor in history. Although we are asking for an audience at night, as long as the emperor finds time, he will definitely summon us."

    "I'm not worried about this." Tuhai frowned and said, "My heart is beating so fast, I always feel that something is wrong, and I feel uneasy, as if something big is about to happen."

    "For those who celebrate the new year, don't say any unlucky things. You are still a majestic scholar, and the yellow flag is in charge. How can you be more timid than us women?" Kong Sizhen gave Tu Hai a white look, and expressed the strongest feeling for Tu Hai's crow mouth.  despise.

    "It's not that I said unlucky words, it's that my feeling has always been accurate." Tuhai frowned even tighter, and didn't dare to finish the sentence completely - he was also in the same uneasy way when he just woke up in the seventeenth year of Shunzhi  As a result, as soon as noon arrived, Shunzhi started to squall, holding on to the case of Alana, and almost sent him to the gallows.

    "Okay, okay, we have real evidence to enter the palace this time, so what are we afraid of?" Kong Sizhen gave his old lover Tu Hai another look, and changed the subject: "Let's take this time to think about it,  Let's see how to make that Fatty Lu worse, it's best to kill that Fatty Lu to relieve his anger."

    "Good idea, let's fan the emperor's fire first, and then give Fatty Lu some crimes of beheading and ransacking his home. When the emperor is angry, he will definitely kill his whole family!" Shang Zhixiao applauded.

    "Good idea." Tuhai snorted, and said, "Whether we can kill Fatty Lu immediately when we enter the palace this time is probably still a problem. We just found out that he was in contact with Murima and was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and usurping him.  I don't know what rebellious words he and Murima said. Will the emperor immediately order him to be executed? I hope to kill Fatty Lu all over the house? In my opinion, this matter must take some time  Zhou Zhang, first persuade the emperor to dismiss him from office, find any crime and put him in prison, and then slowly torture him about what he said to Murima, and then re-investigate the case of Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai, and return Brother Fu's innocence  .¡±

    "Of course it's a solution, but it's too slow, and it's hard to guarantee that you won't have long nights and dreams." Kong Sizhen reminded: "Don't forget, the dead fat man has done a great job in helping Wu Yingxiong to negotiate salary this time, and Obai also appreciates this fat man Lu,  If Wu Sangui and Aobai intervene, maybe they will turn over this dead fat man Xianyu."

    "That's right, it's best to chop off Fatty Lu first, and then let's talk about it first." Shang Zhixiao also hated Fatty Lu to the bone, and immediately nodded in agreement.

    "One more thing, Tutang, I must remind you." Kong Sizhen added: "Fu Honglie's case is a hundred times more complicated than you imagined, and it is absolutely impossible to reverse it in a short time.  I will agree, so we'd better play it safe and kill Fatty Lu, the scourge first, and then find a way to reverse Fu Honglie's case and return his innocence when there is a turning point in the future."

    "It's up to you, you have the final say." Tu Hai reluctantly agreed.

    &nbs?? income.  Wei Chen heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is running short every year.  "

    "This is impossible. Once this precedent is set, corrupt officials will lose their scruples, and corrupt officials will inevitably run rampant." Xiao Mazi was still calm, and finally didn't listen to Fatty Lu's bad idea, but said: "Let's do it, see  For Lu Aiqing's sake, I will give Wang Xu a special order to let Wang Xu go home first to face the crime, and after the verdict is delivered, I will pardon his crimes with extrajudicial grace."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty." Fatty Lu thanked him wiping his tears, but he was very disappointed in his heart, "Damn it, Xiao Mazi is not fooled, he is much smarter than his grandson Hongli! But it doesn't matter, I can save another seven thousand taels of silver.  Uncle, the name of Lu Sanhao, should be resounding in the capital again?"

 Chapter 77

    ?

    The sudden downfall of Tu Hai, who was already ranked third among the fifteen academicians, and the news that Tu Hai's entire family was also locked up and imprisoned, was like a gust of wind, which suddenly wiped out the festive atmosphere of the New Year in the capital's official circles.  The officials of the Tuhai faction were so sad and fearful that they would be involved. Needless to say, most of the officials of the neutral faction were also terrified. Once again, they witnessed with their own eyes what it means to be accompanied by a king like a tiger, and what is called an accident  For the first time, Fengyun saw Xiao Mazi's slightly immature but extremely sharp human-eating fangs!

    There are also those who are both happy and surprised. Facing Xiao Mazi¡¯s act of self-destruction, the officials of Oboi¡¯s party, big and small, were inexplicably happy.  It was to use him to deal with Oboi, and Tu Hai didn't embarrass Xiao Mazi. In the past year, he had made trouble for Oboi himself and his party members.  But there was nothing he could do about him, why did Xiao Mazi cut down this pillar by himself now?  This is too puzzling and incredible, right?

    Since they were confused, Oboi's party had to jump up and down to investigate the reasons. Under the circumstances that it was destined not to find out the truth quickly, many people even suspected that Shang Tuhai was actually Aoboi's party.  He was brutally murdered.  However, Aobai quickly denied this possibility in person. At the same time, Aobai, who had long been displeased with Tuhai, took the opportunity to add insult to injury and ordered his party members to impeach Tuhai.  Opportunity to get rid of this thorn in the flesh.

    In this way, the result was very accidental and inevitable. Aobai's party members who were ordered to make trouble had to bring up the past events of Shunzhi's handling of Tuhai, and accused Tuhaian of "resentment against the former emperor", which proved Tuhai from the side.  Deliberately leaking the news of Shunzhi's monkhood to Aobai, Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Mazi are more determined to clean up Tu Hai until his soul is out of his body, and he wants to die!  And our poor Tu Hai Tu Tang completely cut off the last chance of life in a daze.

    However, you can't blame Fatty Lu for making Tuhai like this. Tuhai's butt is indeed not clean, because Tuhai was arrested in the palace, and there was no time to destroy some sensitive things.  In addition to copying a large number of gold, silver and jewelry of unknown origin, a large number of letters between Tu Hai and other governors and generals were also copied - such as the letters contacted by the monk Zhixiao, and a copy of the insiders that Tu Hai placed in the capital's various yamen  The list¡ª¡ªWhat makes Tu Hai want to cry even more is that the official in charge of ransacking the house is a fencer. In addition to handing over the original list to Xiao Mazi, he also secretly copied a copy and sold it to Aobai!  As a result, it was natural that the officials of the Aobai Party, who had been placed inside the family, were out of their wits. They not only tried their best to kill the traitors in the family, but also joined hands to find Tu Hai to settle the old and new accounts together, causing the whole capital to be overwhelmed.  The dog jumps, the miasma, and the mess.

    While Tu Hai became a street rat and everyone shouted and beat him, some minor events happened in the capital, which were not very eye-catching, but the impact was far-reaching, no less than the downfall of Tu Hai.  And the first of these things is that Xiao Mazi promulgated the imperial decree, Nian Wangxu, the former Zuodu censor who was imprisoned for corruption, has been employed for many years and has made many meritorious deeds.  ¡ª That is, the legendary release on bail pending trial.

    After only four or five days in prison, Wang Xu realized what it means to be cold and cold in the world, and what it means to be warm and cold in human relationships. In the past, except for one or two of his subordinates and colleagues who said a few words of justice for him, the rest were not pretending to be deaf and dumb.  Ignoring him and not asking is just adding insult to injury, wishing to put him to death.  In this regard, Wang Xu's popularity is extremely unpopular. Although Wang Xu was prepared, he also cried many times in secret.  What Wang Xu didn't expect was that on the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, an eunuch came to the palace to read out the imperial decree, asking him to go home and reunite with his family for the time being, and wait for the trial and conviction of the three judges.

    Hearing this news, Wang Xu was very surprised, so he had to ask the eunuch Xuanzhi about the ins and outs of the matter. The eunuch Xuanzhi was quite honest, and told Wang Xu truthfully that it was Mr. Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Qujing, who begged him in front of the emperor.  In exchange for Wang Xu's release from prison, he exchanged the emperor's favor for him.  Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help crying silently, his gratitude to Fatty Lu was beyond words.  But when Wang Xu walked out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he saw for the first time Fatty Lu, who was smiling all over his face, leading a group of henchmen, who had been waiting in front of the prison for a long time, and his whole body was covered with snowflakes.

    "Congratulations to Mr. Wang for escaping from the sea of ??misery and prison." Fatty Lu stepped forward to salute, clasped his fists and bowed deeply to Wang Xu, and said with a smile, "I believe it won't take long for Mr. Wang to clear up his grievances and return to his original post.  Your Excellency congratulates you."

    "Master Lu." Wang Xu clasped his fists in return, with tears in his eyes, wanting to sayThe fat man's fat mouth was already wide enough to stuff three eggs in, and he screamed after a while, "What did I do in my previous life, and why did I have so many bosses in the same city as me?"

    "So, I advise you to stay in the capital to help me, and I also want to help you." Wu Yingxiong gloated and said, "You still don't appreciate it, and want to return to your one-acre three-point land in Qujing to be the emperor?"

    "My son, it's not that I don't want to agree. It's because the emperor wants me to go back to Qujing and keep an eye on the prince and Lord Lin Tianqing for him. If I don't go to my humble position, it will be a disobedience." Fatty Lu replied with a mournful face.

    Having said that, Fatty Lu still felt his scalp tingling, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault that I didn't study the Yunnan administrative system of the Tartars, and I was expecting to go back to Qujing to train troops, farm and make weapons. I didn't expect so many Tartar officials to be with me.  In a city, how can I still do so many big things? Should I follow Wu Sangui, Wu Yingqi and the teacher's door, and ask them to transfer me to another place as a county magistrate?"

    "Don't worry, it's useless to worry, just hope that you will be promoted and transferred after the three-year term expires, then you can relax a little bit." Wu Yingxiong said with a smile: "The Ao Mansion is coming soon, get off the car and fight with him.  When you get rid of him, there seems to be another person waiting for you in my house who is even more troublesome to you?"

    Note 1: In the case of Cha Rulong, Cha Rulong was originally an official of a certain department of the Hongguang regime in the Nanming Dynasty.  In the early years of Kang Mazi, he forged letters from governors, governors, and admirals of various provinces across the country, falsely claiming that the governors of various places wished to enshrine Wu Sangui as emperor, and wrote blood letters to persuade Wu Sangui to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, but was accidentally arrested in Qujing.  Zu burned the forged letter and sent the blood book and Zha Rulong to Beijing. Zha Rulong was executed by Ling Chi, and the Qing court became more suspicious of Wu Sangui.

    Note 2: The Yamen of the Governor-General of Yunnan and Guizhou was originally located in Qujing. Kang Mazi moved to Guiyang in the third year.  The book is required for the plot, or there is a time advance.

 Chapter 79 Fat Dragon Wants to Cross the River

    ?

    ?Qujing, the key to Yunnan and Guizhou, the throat of Yunnan, the first city at the source of the Pearl River!  When Wu Sangui was in charge of Yunnan and Guizhou, Qujing, the four major military regions directly under the Central Government of Yunnan, ranked third, and the number was to aid in the suppression of Youzhen.

    At the same time, there is also Liu Wenjin, the commander-in-chief of Qujing, Xundian, Wuding, and Zhanyi, who was personally appointed by Shunzhi in the Qujing Mansion. There is also Hou Di, the commander-in-chief of Luoping, who was also appointed in the last year of Shunzhi and ruled separately from Liu Wenjin.  The green camps in their respective places are not under the control of Wu Sangui, but directly under the jurisdiction of the governor of Yunnan¡ªthe purpose of which, I believe, does not need to be wordy.

    Two armies of different subordinates in one mansion are not considered lively, what is even more lively is the power struggle of the local government. Li Suizu, the prefect of Qujing, is named Suyuan, and his ancestral home is Tieling, Liaodong.  Descendants!  The current imperial court's son-in-law is Kang and Jieshu!  The family is prominent and the backing is strong, even Wu Sangui has to give him three points!  When investigating the Rulong case, Li Suizu made Wu Sangui look ashamed, but Wu Sangui has nothing to do with him. This is a clear proof!

    Not to mention, in Qujing mansion, near the mansion city, there is also a chieftain of Anmin, the magistrate of Zhanyi, whose official position has been passed down from generation to generation.  Both the Qing court and Wu Sangui listened to the propaganda and did not listen to the tune, so naturally they would not pay attention to the local officials in Qujing!

    In addition, in Pingyiwei (now Fuyuan County) in Qujing, there is also a Tuxian magistrate named Long Kuo, who is also the patriarch of the local clan and a big local snake.  Wu Sangui is quite a headache character!

    There are so many intertwined forces in the small Qujing mansion, and so many powerful figures with strong backgrounds, other local officials will be offended, just like the poor Qujing Tongzhi Zhang Gaomo, Mr. Zhang  , often dare not even stay in Qujing City, find excuses to hide in the relatively peaceful Malong Prefecture all day long, dare not speak casually and dare not fight for power.  And the only seven-rank magistrate in Qujing County, Qujing County Magistrate, also known as Nanning County Magistrate Cheng Fengcheng, didn't even dare to take care of official business. Every day he just danced, studied knowledge, and hoped that Qujing, the king of hell, would be called out as soon as possible.

    ? Of course, it cannot be said that magistrate Cheng did not do one thing. At least Cheng Feng, magistrate of Cheng, sorted out the classics during his tenure, and fiddled with Qujing's first official annals, which can be regarded as leaving a little cultural treasure for future generations.  ¡ª¡ªAt least in later generations, there was a poor and fifth-rate writer named Wu Shilang, who was honored by the county magistrate of Cheng. With the "Qujing Mansion Chronicle" left by him, he found a lot of valuable information and deceived many people.  Less characters.

    I've talked a lot of nonsense, but let's get down to business. With the arrival of the spring of the seventh year of Kang Mazi, the county magistrate Cheng, who had been useless for several years, finally showed a little spring color on his face. He was smiling all day long, as if he had picked up a few golden  Yuan Bao is the same.  As for the reason, of course, it is because the county magistrate Cheng is about to be transferred to Anhui to serve as the magistrate. Just wait for a donated official named Lu Yifeng to come back to Beijing, and the county magistrate Cheng can escape from the sea of ??suffering.  Because of this, on February 2, when the dragon raised its head, the county magistrate Cheng, who was always afraid of dealing with his superiors, rarely took the initiative to invite Li Suzu to go out for an outing outside the city, and share black and white glutinous rice with the people who started spring plowing to celebrate the arrival of spring.  .

    ?Li Suizu was still saving face, and led a dozen officials, including his co-prefect Zhang Gaomo, and the county magistrate of Cheng to walk around outside the city, and even used a small bowl of glutinous rice.  But at this moment, trouble came to the door, and a citizen of Sanchakou Fort suddenly ran to Cheng County Magistrate with a pleading for grievances.  What's your name? What's the statement of grievance?"

    "Back to Master Qingtian." The well-dressed commoner wiped his tears and said, "The villain's name is Luo Leisheng. He is a kind citizen in Sanchakou Village. He sued Ren Xinglai, the big shopkeeper of the herbal medicine shop in the city, to take over  The villain's land, please master Qingtian to be the master of the villain."

    "Sue Ren Xinglai?" Cheng Feng, the magistrate of Cheng, took a deep breath¡ªthis Ren Xinglai is not someone to provoke, he is not only the owner of the largest crude medicine shop in the city, but also the owner of the largest bank in Qujing City  , the biggest restaurant owner, the biggest salt shop owner and the brother-in-law of Li Suzu, the prefect of Qujing!  At the same time, his pretty sister, Ren Zeyu, was the goddaughter of Prince Kang. She lived in Jieshu's house for half a year, and gave birth to Li Shizu's fat boy only five months after she came back.  The apple of the eye.

    He glanced timidly at Li Shizu and the others. Li Shizu's eyeballs rolled upwards, as if he hadn't heard anyone accuse his brother-in-law, while fellow acquaintance Zhang Gaomo and the others looked around, as if they hadn't heard anyone sue Li Shizu.  Same as brother-in-law.  Cheng Feng secretly complained, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Luo Leisheng, tell the truth about how Ren Xinglai seized your land, and don't lie."

    "Master Qingtian, grassroots dare not lie." Luo Leisheng kowtowed, wiped his tears and told what happened. It turned out that Luo Lei?This humble job is really hard to follow.  Fatty Lu didn't give any face, and said directly: "This case is very clear, and the evidence is very conclusive. If Li Futai thinks that the low-ranking party has made a wrong sentence, please speak up in court."  "

    Li Shizu really wanted to tear Fatty Lu apart, but considering that he would definitely not be able to beat Fatty Lu with his old arms and legs, he could only swallow his anger and said: "Master Lu, since the evidence of Ren Xinglai's seizure of land is convincing, then  Tell him to give up the land, and pay for the decoction and medicine. It¡¯s just that the sentencing needs to be discussed slowly, how about another day?¡±

    Since he took office in Qujing for eight years, this is the first time that Li Shizu has spoken to his subordinates in such a pleasant manner.  Ever begged yourself?  But it is a pity that Fatty Lu, who will soon be nicknamed the two hundred and five county magistrates, does not accept this at all. He just sneered and said: "Li Futai, the facts of this case are clear, and my sentencing is all in accordance with the laws of the Qing Dynasty.  Yes, if Master Futai thinks something is wrong, please correct me in court. If not, I will have someone execute me."

    Li Shizu was even more furious, but he really couldn't find anything to refute Fatty Lu, he just stared at Fatty Lu viciously, and said to himself, I want to see if you have the guts to hit my brother-in-law!  But it's a pity that Fatty Lu didn't even blink his eyelids, and immediately shouted: "Since the lord of Futai has no objection, then I will enforce the law according to the law! Come here, drag the two criminals down, and punish them in court."  !"

    At the end, Fatty Lu pointed at Li Tianzhi and shouted viciously: "Li Tianzhi, from now on, you will be the head of the government office in Qujing County. You go to supervise the implementation, but those who are ineffective and perfunctory will be dismissed on the spot! By the way!  Tell the entire county government officials that from today onwards, I will pay out of my own pocket, and their salaries will be doubled, and those who don't want this job can get out at any time!"

    "Cover." Li Tianzhi agreed with a dark smile, pointed at a few yamen servants casually, and ordered them to drag Ren Xinglai and Ren San down for a fight.  The yamen servants didn't dare to be negligent, so they hurriedly apologized to Ren Xing, dragged him down and beat him up, every time Ren Xing came to beat him, he screamed like a pig, and the people outside the hall also cheered.  Su Zu's expression became even uglier.

    "Lord Lu, it really is the new official who set the fire three times, and it burned so badly." While the attention of the people outside the hall was distracted, Li Shizu gritted his teeth and gave Fatty Lu a grinning smile, saying, "But Lord Lu must not have listened."  As I said, in Luoping prefecture in Qujing mansion, the post of sixth-rank magistrate has been vacant for more than a year, and no one has dared to take it up to now! Why, Lord Lu doesn¡¯t want to inquire about it?¡±

    "Li Futai, I'm really sorry." Fatty Lu said with a smile: "The lower official is the magistrate of Qujing County, and Luoping Prefecture is not under the jurisdiction of the lower official, so the matter there is really not very interesting for the lower official."

    "Really? Then let's read the libretto on a donkey, we'll see!" Li Shizu flicked his sleeves, ignored his brother-in-law's wailing for help, and rushed out of the lobby without looking back.

    "The tip of the needle is against the wheat awn, and the tip of the needle is against the awn of wheat." Zhang Gaomo, the prefect, murmured, shaking his head, and muttered, "This time, Qujing Mansion is more lively."  middle.  On the other hand, Cheng Feng didn't even dare to take a breath, and almost retracted his head into his collar.

    "Boss, aren't you being too reckless?" Zhu Fangdan whispered in Fatty Lu's ear: "You just took office, and you immediately disrespected your boss. How can you be an official in the future?"

    "Stupid, if I give in, I won't be able to live my life in the future." Fatty Lu sneered in a low voice and said, "It's not like you don't know how strong Li Suzu's backing is. If I give in, he will  He will push his nose to his face, and ride on my head to shit and pee! Now this case happens to be related to his brother-in-law, and the reasoning is all on our side. I don¡¯t want to hurry up and make a big deal out of it, and make him ashamed  , beat his arrogance, I will stop being the county magistrate in the future, and just lift the toilet for Li Suzu."

    "However, Li Suzu is a local snake, and the backing is strong. Will both sides suffer?" Zhu Fangdan was still a little worried.

    "He has a backer, so don't I have a backer?" Fatty Lu sneered, and then said in a low voice: "And don't forget, I still have a yellow jacket in my hand. This is my trump card to deal with him. Tell Xiao Erlang and the others  , let them not shake it out, save a big surprise for Li Suzu."

    "There are two other things. One is that you go and prepare a notice to post for me immediately, so that the common people can complain about their grievances and revenge. First, collect the evidence against Li Suzu. The second is that you will go to  Comfort the complaining Luo Leisheng, if he wants to thank us, you can let him take out half of the land, plant that thing, and then wait to make a fortune."

    Note: Li Suzu had a good relationship with Wang Fuchen. Historically, it was not until May of the 11th year of Kang Mazi that he fought with Wang Jing, the deputy general of Yunnan who succeeded Wang Fuchen, and was demoted together.

 Chapter 80 Fatty Lu, the Founder of the Industry

    ?

    (ps: It¡¯s the end of the month, friends, should you have a second and third monthly pass? Get one or two from the great god and give it to the pure newcomer wolf.)

    ? Golden Meat, a famous dish in Northeast China, is made of tenderloin slices, eggs, and flour. It is golden in color, crispy and tender, and has a mellow taste.

    According to legend, this dish was created in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, a general in the Ming Dynasty lived a luxurious life. He had to serve eight dishes and one soup for each meal. One day the cook left the kitchen for some reason after cooking seven dishes and one soup.  , a slave was quick and wise, and made this dish with meat slices, eggs, and flour. He never thought that after the general used this dish, he was full of praise for it, so he rewarded the slave and listed this dish as a common dish.  He even took this clever slave as his godson.

    This general is called Li Chengliang, and this slave is called Aixinjueluo Nurhachi.

    For some reason, this story and this dish became very popular in the prefecture of Qujing in the southwestern border. Lu Yifeng, the new magistrate of Qujing County, also eats this dish every meal. He must say: We officials of the Qing Dynasty, don¡¯t forget  My Great Qing Dynasty was hard won, and don't forget the humiliation my Great Qing Taizu suffered in the family of former Ming officials.  ¡ª¡ªAs for whether Luzhi County has any specific references, this is a question of the benevolent and the wise.  In short, I think Magistrate Lu did it unintentionally. As for whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.

    There is also a legend that Li Shizu, the prefect of Qujing, also likes to eat this dish, and often says proudly that this dish was made by the slaves of his ancestors, and now the slaves of his ancestors are well developed  , But I haven't forgotten my roots, and I have always been thinking about my old master's family. Now the pockmarked great-grandson of my house slave has to call me old master when he sees me.  ¡ª¡ªOf course, no one can tell exactly where this legend came from. Anyway, after Li Zhifu heard the legend, his face turned pale on the spot.

    These vicious words are still something to talk about. Before thoroughly learning Fatty Lu's vicious methods, Li Suzu and Li Dazhifu not only hated Fatty Lu extremely, but also had contempt and contempt from the bottom of their hearts.  After Fatty took office and caught his brother-in-law, the prefect Li didn't pay much attention to Fatty Lu, and his calculation was also - boy, let you go crazy for a few days first, and wait for my good brother  When Wang Fuchen comes back from Kunming, I will settle accounts with you slowly!  When the time comes, the spank you hit my brother-in-law's ass, I will slap and slap you on your fat face!

    Li Zhifu's temporary swallowing of his anger was indeed out of helplessness, because all the reasoning was on Lu Fatty's side, and if this matter was really going to become a big deal, Li Zhifu would not be able to explain to the court, but what Li Zhifu could not have imagined was that at the same time, Qu Jing  What the people in the county could not have dreamed of and cheered was that on the first day of Fatty Lu's tenure, Fatty Lu posted another notice that made Li Suzu furious-encouraging the people to file a complaint at the county government.  If you can take revenge, Lu Qingtian must be the master for the common people.

    It turned out quite naturally that in the afternoon of that day, the Qujing County Government received more than 20 pleadings¡ªmost of them sued Li Suzu's brother-in-law Ren Xinglai, or accused Ren Xinglai of bullying others and bullying men and women;  Or accuse Ren Xinglai of bullying the market and monopolizing the medicine and salt industry; or accuse Ren Xinglai of being domineering and seizing people's fields and women; some people simply accuse Li Suzu of covering up relatives and conniving at relatives to do evil, Fatty Lu picked them up one by one.  He patted his chest on the spot and promised, vowing to completely eradicate Ren Xinglai's cancer in Qujing.

    That¡¯s not enough, what made Li Suzu and Qujing prefect¡¯s Yamen feel unbelievable was that it was still behind. In the afternoon, some people reported to Fatty Lu that a murderer who had been wanted for many years was hiding in an underground casino in Qujing  , and this casino has members of the Qujing magistrate Yamen who arrested Wang Meng, so no one has dared to touch this casino and this wanted criminal.  After receiving the report, Fatty Lu sent Li Tianzhi and Fang Shiyu, the new chief and deputy arresters of the Qujing County Yamen, to arrest him without saying a word.

    When the matter came to this point, Wang Meng, the head catcher of Qujing Mansion, couldn't think of coming forward, and he also took a group of yamen servants from Qujing Mansion to the underground casino to stop him. His few words were wrong.  up.  It turned out naturally that the talented county government servants in the team naturally had the upper hand. Guang Fang Shiyu broke the bones of five government servants alone, and another seven or eight government servants vomited blood.  Li Tianzhi also captured Wang Meng, the arresting head of the government office, with his own hands, and escorted him back to the Qujing county government prison together with the casino owner and the fugitive.

    ?After this battle, the Qujing county government became famous, and ordinary people cheered loudly, saying that God opened their eyes and sent a good county magistrate to Qujing, and the people of Qujing should have a better life this time.  The government office in Qujing was disgraced and frightened. Li Suizu was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He wrote a memorial to impeach Fatty Lu overnight.Not only the landlords and gentry in Qujing were tempted, but also Cheng Feng, the former county magistrate who was about to be transferred to Anhui, grabbed a handful of seeds and looked carefully, Cheng Feng asked curiously: "Can this thing be grown in Anhui as well?"  The Jiande I was transferred to is also a well-known poor place in Anhui, if this thing is really as good as you said, I would like to try it in Anhui as well, it can be regarded as a benefit to the hometown there.¡±

    "Of course, as long as the weather is not too cold, this thing can be grown anywhere." Fatty Lu smiled and said, "But it's definitely too late to plant in Anhui now. Let's do it. I'm planting in Qujing now, and I'll wait until July and August."  Seeing the effect, Mr. Cheng, how about sending someone to get the seeds from me?"

    "Success, it's a deal!" Cheng Feng was amused when he heard it, and said to himself that with your help in the trial planting, what should I be afraid of?  At that moment, Cheng Feng raised his hand and said with a smile: "Master Lu, then let's make a deal, how about high-fiving?"

    "Of course." Fatty Lu smiled, raised his fat hands, "High fives!"

    "Crack!" With one palm strike, Fatty Lu also established himself as the patriarch in a certain industry, so that in later generations, some people who deserve death will pay homage to Fatty Lu before engaging in illegal activities.  Portraits or photos of Fatty Lu when he was old, begging for the blessing of Fatty Lu, the patriarch, to protect us from being caught by people in the yamen when we go in low and go high.

    Of course, the descendants of Fatty Lu refused to acknowledge the honor of their ancestors. Not only did they desperately attack and suppress these unscrupulous disciples who worshiped their ancestors indiscriminately, but they also pushed the blame on Zhu Fangdan in the legacy of their ancestors¡ªif it wasn¡¯t for this  The old satyr used his influence in the apricot forest world to obtain so many seeds that should be used for medicine for his ancestors. Will this thing be popular in this era?

    Whether or not Zhu Fangdan's descendants will accept this honor is left alone for the time being. In short, after Fatty Lu and Cheng Feng clapped their hands, in addition to letting Xiao Erlang and Shen Xin distribute the seeds to the landlord Laocai, he also ordered: "Also give me a separate  I was going to plant seeds of 500 mu of land, and sent a fast horse to Luliang. The second prince of Pingxi Wang had a fief of more than 2,000 mu of land there, and he wrote back to me and agreed to lend me 500 mu of land to plant this.  Send things overnight, don't delay the farming season!"

    "Also, Master Zhu, send people to Anmin Dasi and Longkuo Tusi to send seeds of 50 acres of land each, and write two letters to them by the way, telling them how to plant, encouraging them to plant, and it has been planted.  , I bought it back with so much money they couldn't even imagine!"

 Chapter 81 The Strong Prefect and the Evil Prefect County

    ?

    (ps: The ranking on the monthly ticket list has plummeted, can friends give more support?)

    Fatty Lu entertained Qujing landlords and gentry at Chenghuang Temple and distributed drug seeds. Of course, his immediate superior, Li Suzu, Li Dazhifu, who had been in charge of Qujing government affairs for many years, knew clearly, but Li Dazhifu did not distribute Fatty Lu for free.  He took the matter of Afulong seeds to heart, but focused on the fact that Fatty Lu only charged two points for Huomo.

    You must know that Li Dazhi, who is as clean as water, only charges a mere three cents for fire consumption-speaking from conscience, compared with other Qingqing prefects, Li Suzu's charge is really not that high, but Lu Fatty wants  Stealing the limelight from the prefect of Li Dazhi, you will only be charged two points if you die. Isn't this a slap in the face of the prefect Li?  Annoyed, Li Zhifu had no choice but to add another charge to Lu Fatty in the memorial to impeach Lu Fatty, which would increase the fire consumption and take bribes!

    "Bang!" After re-writing the memorial to impeach Fatty Lu, Li Zhifu threw the top-quality Langhao brush made in Kanto on the ground as if venting, gnashing his teeth in his heart, "My surname is Lu, let's read the libretto while riding a donkey, just wait and see!  Lin Tianqing and Lao Tzu knew each other when they were in Liaodong, and they were old acquaintances of Lao Tzu's old boss. He must go through Qujing when he takes office in Kunming. At that time, Lao Tzu will pass this memorial to him, and then give him some money, so that he can ask for the king's order  Flag, I will cut you down first!"

    "Dong Weng, Dong Weng, good news." At this moment, Li Suzu's master Bi Binbin suddenly rushed into Li Suzu's study and shouted happily: "Congratulations Dong Weng, congratulations Dong Weng, Wang Junmen  He's back, he's gone into town and home!"

    "Haha, Wang Junmen is back, and you don't need to wait for Lin Tianqing to arrive in Qujing, you can kill Fatty Lu!" Li Suzu laughed loudly, jumped up and ordered: "Quick, Master Bi, go prepare a  This is an important gift, the servant girl will help the official change his clothes, and go to see Wang Junmen immediately."

    "Dong Weng, I'm afraid I have to prepare two gifts." Bi Binbin carefully reminded: "Prince Pingxi's commander of the army, General Wu Guogui, is also here.  Prince Pingxi's adoptive son is here to inspect Youzhen's military affairs on behalf of Prince Pingxi, so don't neglect it."

    "Wu Guogui? Humph, old dog Wu's son of a bitch!" Li Suzu snorted coldly, and after careful calculation, Li Suzu nodded and said, "Okay then, prepare two gifts, this time to borrow from Wang Junmen  Get rid of Fatty Lu by hand, don't let this dog cause trouble!"

    Bi Gaobin agreed, and then Li led his ancestors to change into his official uniform in a hurry, brought two gifts, led Bi Gaobin and a few entourages, and hurried to Wang Fuchen's mansion in Qujing City.  When I arrived at the Wangfuchen's mansion, I saw that there were lanterns and festoons in front of Wang Fuchen's mansion, and there was a lot of traffic, and the sergeants and servants were constantly coming and going. Li Suzu and Wang Fuchen had always been on good terms, so he didn't even bother to send the greeting card, so he led Bi Yibin into the Wangfu.  None of the servants of Wang Fuchen's family stopped him.

    Entering the hall of Wang Fuchen's mansion, the hall is also very lively, a large group of generals Qiu Bazheng is playing dominoes around a big table, there is a lot of shouting and drinking, and the sound of eating and paying. Li Shizu knows that Wang Fuchen is addicted to gambling,  He didn't care, just walked quietly behind Wang Fuchen who was sitting in the manor, suddenly put Wang Fuchen on the shoulder, and shouted, "Shuangtian Supreme, kill!"

    "Shuangtian Supreme, pass kill!" Wang Fuchen, who was gambling vigorously, subconsciously roared, and lifted the pai gow in front of him, only to see that the two dominoes turned out to be a pair of dominoes, which was a pair of dominoes. Wang Fuchen couldn't help but cursed.  But there were cheers, one after another scrambling to call for compensation, Wang Fuchen turned his head to see who had such a crow's mouth while betting, and seeing that it was Li Suzu, Wang Fuchen couldn't help shouting angrily: "Li Futai, you never play this,  Calling the ball, my Shuangtian Supreme has been called flying by you, you pay for this bet! You pay!"

    "Wang Junmen, this can't depend on the lower officials. Before I called, you got the card first." Li Suizu shook his head, and asked again: "Wang Junmen, I heard that General Wu Guogui is also here, why?  Didn't see anyone?"

    "He brought his family here this time, and he plans to stay here for a few days, and now he will settle down with his family in the back." Wang Fuchen replied bluntly.

    "That's better." Li Suizu secretly rejoiced, saying that it would be easier to talk without Wu Sangui's confidants by his side.  At that moment Li Suzu pulled Wang Fuchen's sleeve and said: "Wang Junmen, take a few steps to talk, brother, I have something to tell you."

    "It's fine, Wang Jing, you can make a few bankers for me, and change hands." Wang Fuchen, who was full of luck, agreed, and threw the dice to Lieutenant General Wang Jing, and entered the back hall side by side with Li Suzu.  Before Li Shizu could speak, Wang Fuchen took the initiative to say: "Suyuan, I just heard that your brother-in-law was arrested. What's the matter? The new county magistrate, Lu Yifeng, doesn't give you face like this?"

    "Fuchen, I'm asking you for help just for this." Li Suzu wept and said roughly about Ren Xinglai's arrest, then gritted his teeth and said: "?Harmony, missed the important matter of the prince.  "

    "You don't need to thank me, go thank the prince and your teacher, I am following orders." Wu Guogui said with a smile: "This time the prince sent me to Qujing, in addition to inspecting Qujing's military affairs for the prince as usual, I also have an errand.  Let me help you in front of me¡ªyou had a conflict with Li Shizu on the first day you took office, but the prince and your teacher knew about it the next day. The prince also asked me to tell you, Li Shizu is a bastard, the prince  I have long disliked him, if you can overthrow him, the prince will be very happy."

    "I obey your orders. Please rest assured, the general and the lord." Fatty Lu respectfully agreed - don't kill Li Suzu, a hardcore traitor, under his nose, Fatty Lu dare not let go of many important things, even if Wu Sangui didn't have this  Fatty Lu will try his best to make Li Suzu never stand up again.

 Chapter 82 Eight-faced Avalokitesvara

    ?

    (ps: The new book period will end in one day, friends, please use the monthly pass to give Pure Wolf a good memory.)

    With Wu Guogui, Wu Sangui's adopted son and confidant watching, Wang Fuchen said that he would not interfere with Qujing's local government affairs disputes, so he didn't dare to break his promise to get rich, and he didn't intercede for Li Shizu again.  He didn't even take a bite of the meal, and walked away after saying goodbye, leaving Wang Fuchen at home to entertain Fatty Lu and his gang of bad guys.  As a result, Wang Fuchen inevitably got a little angry, "Damn it, why are you slapping me? Can you blame me for this? Fatty Lu is also very interesting. After losing so much money, he didn't even say a word, and even took the initiative to come here."  Ask me if I want to let him go, if Wu Guogui and the other brothers were not present, would this happen?"

    Dissatisfaction turned into dissatisfaction. After the banquet started, Wang Fuchen, who was fond of drinking and gambling, quickly put the matter behind him and dragged Wu Guogui, Wang Jing, Fatty Lu and others to eat and drink. Although Fatty Lu was not good at drinking,  But I barely drank a few cups. Generally speaking, talking with Wang Fuchen was quite pleasant. Wu Guogui has a calm personality but doesn't like to drink.  liquor.  On the contrary, Wang Fuchen's deputy, Yunnan Deputy General Wang Jing, and Fatty Lu hit it off right away¡ªa casino fat sheep as straightforward and generous as Fatty Lu was hard to find. He dragged Fatty Lu to drink a lot of wine, and Fatty Lu continued to gamble.

    "Brother Lu, come, let's have another bowl." Regardless of Wu Guogui's dissuasion, Wang Jing filled another bowl of wine for Fatty Lu, and said with a smile, "After drinking this bowl, let's set up another table and continue playing Pai Gow.  It doesn't matter if you have money, I will lend it to you, anyway, I'm not afraid of you running away, so I can borrow as much as you want."

    "Second brother Wang, brother, I really can't do it." Fatty Lu covered his head and said with a mournful face: "Brother, my drinking capacity is really too bad. On the day of the Chinese New Year last month, brother only drank two drinks.  The jug of wine got drunk on the spot and turned over there, making a big ugly. Also, I have to wait a while to play money. Brother, I have to serve the yellow-faced woman and read books when I go back. I have to go to the city tomorrow to inspect the spring plowing and handle  Official business, after this period of time has passed, brother, I will take a good gamble to pay second brother Wang."

    "Is there a book to watch? The yellow-faced woman can't serve that day, so she must go back to serve every night?" Wang Jing, who was already drunk, held Fatty Lu and yelled: "Play with the second brother for two more  When it's time, Second Brother invites you to go shopping at the kiln, there are still some good women in Qujing City."

    "Second brother Wang doesn't know something. Brother, I married that yellow-faced woman with a lot of background and a big temper. Brother, I really can't afford to provoke him." Fatty Lu sighed, and finally regretted why he married such a vicious woman back home.  .  At the end, Fatty Lu took the opportunity to tell another reason for coming here, and said: "As for whether the book is read or not¡ªSecond brother Wang, have you ever heard that there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book?  Brother, I have studied Western knowledge intensively, and recently found a way to make a fortune, and I am planning to start a business, I wonder if Second Brother Wang is interested in participating in it?"

    "Make a fortune?" Wang Jing's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Lu, what is the way to make a fortune? Tell me quickly and listen."

    "Second Brother Wang, have you ever seen a Western glazed mirror (glass mirror)?" Fatty Lu gestured and said, "Brother, I have seen a glazed mirror as big as half a palm once in the Pingxi Palace and the Imperial Palace.  It can be sold for several thousand taels of silver, brother, I consulted Western books, and I know how to make this thing, I want to make it in Qujing, and then transport it to the south of the Yangtze River and the capital to sell it, a lot of money."

    The earliest glass mirrors were made by Venetian merchants in the 14th century with the tin-mercury method. The price was extremely expensive. A small amount of finished products flowed into China, and the price was even more priceless. Wang Jing had to miss such a mirror once, of course.  Know the value of this thing.  Hearing Fatty Lu's words now, Wang Jing's eyes widened immediately, and he exclaimed, "Brother Lu, do you really know how to make Western glazed mirrors? Can you make them in Qujing, a place where rabbits don't shit?"

    "Of course, the raw materials are available in Qujing, and I also know two ways to make glazed mirrors." Fatty Lu nodded seriously, and said, "Second Brother Wang, the most troublesome thing about making this kind of mirror is that it takes a long time.  Even if all the materials are ready, it will take more than a month. Now that Qujing is plowing in the spring again, brother, I really can¡¯t find people to make this glazed mirror. So brother, I want to invite second brother to partner with you. You can send some people and lend me some troops.  The craftsmen here, I donate the skills and capital to make this thing, and we share the money we earn.¡±

    "Of course." Fatty Lu added, "Even if it can't be made, I will pay for the craftsmen you lend me, Second Brother Wang, and I won't make it hard for you, Second Brother Wang."

    "Then it's settled." As soon as Wang Jing heard about the good news, he slapped the table and said, "I'm in charge of building weapons, and I have some craftsmen in my hands. I haven't fought wars for a few years, and raising them for nothing is nothing.  wroteA good man like you, volunteered to be his grandson-in-law for Old Traitor Wu, how could he not agree?  "

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Note: Many friends must be surprised. Isn¡¯t the famous Eight-faced Guanyin Wu Sangui¡¯s concubine?  How did she become Wu Sangui's granddaughter?  In fact, the Eight-faced Avalokitesvara in history is the daughter of Wu Sangui's adoptive son Wu Guogui, who married another Wu Sangui's confidant Guo Zhuangtu as his daughter-in-law.  After Wu Sangui died of illness, the Yunnan-Guizhou army fought on their own, and was defeated by the Qing army one by one. Kunming was besieged in September because of the lack of food.

    At this time, the nemesis of Cai Yurong, the old traitor, came, Liu Yi's concubine¡ªthe Four-faced Avalokitesvara!  Xiao Mazi was sent to Beijing by the Qing army to present it to Xiao Mazi. Xiao Mazi was shocked by her beauty and asked: "How many people look like you?"  When the news spread to Yunnan, the old traitor Cai, who had only been the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou for a few days, immediately hanged the eight-faced Avalokitesvara who was two months pregnant, but Xiao Mazi still arrested the old traitor Cai and his family and sent them to Heilongjiang to serve as an army.

    The above are accurately recorded in historical materials such as "Ping Wu Lu", "Wear and See Ou Lu", "A Brief History of San Francisco" and "Drafts of Qing History. Biography of Cai Yurong".  Falling on the head of Wu Sangui who almost overthrew Xiaomazi, adding makeup to their master¡ªof course, Wu Sangui deserved what he deserved, and he could have the same fate as Lu Wende, the Great Wall of the Southern Song Dynasty who resisted the invasion of foreign races. Wu Sangui can also laugh.  (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)

    After being dragged home by Shang Wanyi, beaten to a bruised face and swollen, she swore that she would no longer dare to spend the night outside casually, never dare to look at pretty girls, dare not talk to pretty girls, and even less dare to touch the little hands of pretty girls.  Finally, he mercifully spared Fatty Lu's fat life, and sent Fatty Lu to Donghe Township to urge the people to work in the spring, so as to benefit the Qing Dynasty and the Eight Banners.

    Riding the fast horse sent by Xiao Mazi, I rushed to Donghe Township where the old county seat of Qujing used to be. It was already the afternoon of February 16th.  There are still people plowing and working on one-third of the land, and Zhu Fangdan is wandering around that land with seven or eight government servants, talking to a group of poor people who are shirtless.  Fatty Lu rode his horse over, and all the people hurriedly knelt down to salute. Fatty Lu got off his horse and said with a smile: "Everyone, this is not a court, so there is no need for so many salutes. Get up and go about your affairs. Spring plowing season is an inch of time."  An inch of gold."

    "Thank you, master." The common people all thanked and got up.  Over there, Zhu Fangdan asked Fatty Lu suspiciously: "Boss, what's wrong with your ears? Why are they so red? Are they still a little swollen?"

    "Noit's nothing, I accidentally bumped into it when I went out just now." Fatty Lu blushed, quickly covered his ears that were almost torn by Shang Wanyi, and changed the subject and asked, "How is it?  Has it been planted? And our drug, would the common people be willing to plant it?"

    "Back home, the spring plowing is not bad. Except for two lazy men who refused to plant the land left by their parents, the rest of the land has been planted with grain and vegetables." Zhu Fangdan replied honestly: "As for those two lazy men, I  They also asked the dibao to bring them here, scolded them, whipped them a few more times, and forced them to plant the land. It¡¯s just that the drug is more troublesome, except for the landlords and gentry who promised to help us grow the drug in the Town God¡¯s Temple.  In addition to the promise, ordinary people dare not plant, fearing that they will not be sold for money, and even more afraid of affecting the grain harvest.¡±

    "It's impossible, but it doesn't matter. As long as the first batch of planters get rich, our headache is how to control them to plant less." Fatty Lu sighed, and knew that once he made this first, the future  He must have a headache about how to suppress and suppress the common people to plant a hibiscus - but Fatty Lu understands better that even if he doesn't set the precedent, the coquettish ahibiscus flowers will bloom all over this land sooner or later.

    Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. For Fatty Lu himself, instead of letting history develop according to the original track and letting drugs ravage this land for hundreds of years, it is better to advance this time and wait until he has enough strength. Come over and suppress it forcefully.  After all, even if I don't do this, someone will come here with strong ships and cannons more than a hundred years later, forcing the people here to do so.

    After sighing again, Fatty Lu rolled his eyes, pondered another wicked idea, beckoned Zhu Fangdan and several yamen servants to his front, and said to them in a low voice: "Have you seen that most of the common people here are  They are so poor that they don¡¯t even have a piece of clothing. Go tell the people here that as long as they plant a piece of the land alone, they will have clothes for the winter in half a year. If they don¡¯t even want to plant a piece of land, even  It¡¯s fine to plant half of the land or one line of land, in the future they will surely laugh so hard that they can¡¯t even close their mouths.¡±

    "Boss, the planting is so scattered, it will be difficult to harvest the juice at that time." Zhu Fangdan said in embarrassment: "At that time, if you want to collect all these scattered seeds and instruct so many people to harvest and cook the juice, it will be difficult to harvest the juice.  It is not an easy task, and it is definitely not enough to rely solely on the manpower of our Qujing county government."

    "Stupid, who wants to accept their drug juice?" Fatty Lu said with a smile: "I want their seeds, think about it, and see the results in half a year.  How heavy is it?"

    "Wonderful! The owner is really clever. When we collect the seeds, we can still sell them for a high price." Zhu Fangdan patted his thigh, turned to the servants next to him and urged: "Why are you still standing there? Everyone bring a small bag."  Go and persuade the people to plant the seeds, and wait for the extra money to make a fortune in half a year."

    All the yamen servants were also a little skeptical, and they couldn¡¯t understand why the new county magistrates and masters liked to grow these things, and they insisted that growing these things would make them rich, but considering Fatty Lu¡¯s double salary, these  The yamen servants still honestly picked up a small bag of seeds and scattered around to persuade the people to plant them experimentally.  Zhu Fangdan then suggested to Fatty Lu: "Boss, the student thinks that if you want to make money with this thing, then the western side must also pay attention to it. The student heard that now foreign doctors also like to use medicine to treat diseases, ah  Hibiscus is also sold at a high price.?The son knocked on Erlang's leg and said, "Liu Junmen, it's fine if you don't want Murima to know about it, but you have to tell me what benefits Li Futai has given you, and you have to help him intervene in the local area."  civil affairs?"

    Liu Wenjin hesitated to answer, Fatty Lu sneered again and said, "Don't say it? It's okay, someone will let you say it, but when the time comes, the officials won't intercede for Liu Junmen, so don't blame me Liu Junmen."

    "I said, I said." Liu Wenjin had no choice but to say honestly: "Master Lu, Li Futai gave me the jade ax in front of you. I heard from Li Futai that this jade ax is the same jade ax that Zhao Kuangyin used to row the river.  That jade ax was awarded to the King of Dali, but somehow it ended up in the hands of Li Futai."

    "Li Futai, a big deal." Fatty Lu picked up the jade axe, held it in his hand, and said with a smirk, "You don't dedicate Li Futai to the emperor, but keep it privately at home. Do you want to imitate Zhao Kuangyin and come here as well?"  A change of dynasty?"

    "You're talking nonsense!" Li Suizu was completely anxious, and shouted indiscriminately: "Who wants to change the dynasty? If I want to do this, why give this jade ax to Liu Junmen?"

    "So, Master Li wants to change the dynasty of Liu Junmen?" Fatty Lu hit the snake with the stick, turned to Liu Wenjin and smiled, "Liu Junmen, I think you definitely don't have such an idea, do you?"

    "Of course the last general didn't, and of course the last general didn't dare to have such thoughts." Liu Wenjin kowtowed again and again, then turned to Li Suzu and glared at him.

    It is of course very difficult to frame Li Shizu for rebellion and usurpation with just a jade axe - not to mention Li Shizu's greed and stinginess, this jade ax may not really belong to Zhao Kuangyin.  So Fatty Lu didn't bother to entangle in this issue, he just said to Liu Wenjin: "Liu Junmen, I won't make things difficult for you, you just report to the court according to the truth about today's affairs, as for you to pass on this official to threaten and intimidate you."  It's a trivial matter, you don't need to report it, and I won't tell General Murima. You just tell the court that Li Futai bribed you with this jade ax to lure you to interfere in civil affairs, but you sternly refused, do you understand?  ?¡±

    Fatty Lu is blatantly instigating Liu Wenjin to impeach his boss, but even though Li Suizu turned blue with anger, there was nothing he could do about it, while Liu Wenjin over there was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, thank you, Mr. Lu. Please rest assured, my lord.  I will definitely report the truth, and this jade ax will be sent up as evidence in the end, and Lord Lu will be satisfied with it."

    "Very good." As expected, Fatty Lu nodded in satisfaction, and was about to continue to sow discord, but suddenly there was a commotion outside the tent, and then, a group of soldiers directly belonging to the Pingxi Palace rushed to the tent like wolves,  The green battalion soldiers in front of the tent were kicked and beaten, and the leading general was none other than Wang Jing, the deputy general of Yunnan who just discussed with Fatty Lu yesterday to make a fortune together.  Before he got the money, Wang Jing yelled: "Brother Lu, don't be afraid, the second brother is here to save you! The surname Liu, you dare to touch a hair of my brother, I will be with you today"

    After shouting here, the warm-hearted General Wang Jingwang couldn't continue shouting, because he suddenly saw that the good brother Lu Fatty, the seventh-rank magistrate, who he was going to rescue, not only did not crawl on the ground covered in bruises as he imagined, but was also wearing clothes.  A bright yellow mandarin jacket knocked on Erlang's legs and sat on the coach's seat.  And Liu Wenjin, the second-rank general soldier he wanted to stop the violence, was kneeling obediently in front of Fatty Lu, with several red slap marks on his face.

    "Who am I here to save?" Wang Jing scratched his head in doubt.  (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com

    (ps: August is here, ask for a new January monthly pass, the grades should not be too good, just a little bit better than the previous talent, please continue to support me, friends.)

    More than a dozen green battalion soldiers with horses and seedlings were tied up and taken to the field by the government servants of Qujing County. In front of the common people, each of them was rewarded with forty boards.  The bloody butt kowtowed to the common people to make amends, and then returned to the green camp to nourish the wounds, and had to receive another forty army sticks. The common people in Qujing were relieved, and shouted Qingtian Lu Master, and the prefect of Qujing, Li Shizu  But he was furious.

    Fatty Lu is slapping Chi Guoguo in the face. Fatty Lu is not hitting the ass of the Green Battalion, but the face of Li Zhifu!  In front of the common people, Fatty Lu, the county magistrate, completely destroyed the prefect Li's plan to rescue his brother-in-law; the key point is that the prefect Li's reputation of loving the people like a son and enforcing the law like a mountain was also taken away by this subordinate, Fatty Lu!

    Li Zhifu is really unlucky. The green battalion stationed in the place has inextricably close ties with the local officials and the people. The whole incident has been spread in Qujing city in less than two days. Everyone knows him.  In order to punish Fatty Lu, Lizu colluded with Liu Wenjin to drag Fatty Lu into the green camp. During this period, the green camp soldiers trampled on the seedlings and destroyed the fields.  But Fatty Lu, a small county magistrate, spoke generously in front of the green battalion soldiers' knives and guns, angrily accused the green battalion soldiers of disturbing the people, and finally withstood the pressure, with the help of King Pingxi's army, the green battalion soldiers who were riding horses and seedlings were roped off.  Take the law and impose severe punishment!

    Putting the stark contrast here, what do the soldiers and civilians of Qujing think of Li Suzu, the magistrate?  And what do you think of Fatty Lu, the county magistrate?  Can Li Zhifu still not understand?

    In short, when Fatty Lu punished the law-breaking green battalion soldiers in public, thunderous cheers were heard everywhere in the crowded fields of Donghe Township.  Be clear.  To Li Zhifu, the huge cheers and shouts were also equivalent to huge ridicule and speechless ridicule. Could Li Zhifu not hate Fatty Lu to the bone, to the bone marrow?

    Hatred turned to hate, and what shocked Li Zhifu so much was Fatty Lu's origin and background!  Li Shizu had always thought that Fatty Lu was just an ordinary Western election official who had donated money and bought Wu Yingqi's backer with money.  Littlefinger can also crush him to death. I have been fighting against myself these days, and it is just a 250-year-old behavior of this rookie in the officialdom. As long as Liu Wenjin or Wang Fuchen threatens with force, the truth and the law will be on my side. Qu Jing  The government will also return to his wise and competent leadership, and he will regain the throne of Emperor Qujing.

    It's just that what Li Zhifu couldn't even dream of was that Liu Wenjin was finally paid a lot of money to help him. Under Liu Wenjin's threat of force, Fatty Lu was forced to expose his deep background and tough backing, which were far behind him.  beyond imagination!  Forget about the yellow jacket worn by Xiao Mazi, Li Shizu has seen it a few times, but the fact that Obai and Murima brothers appeared among Fatty Lu¡¯s backers completely puzzled Li Shizu¡ª¡ªEmperor Mazi  Aren't Aobai and Oboi enemies?  How could they join forces to support a seventh-rank magistrate?  What is the origin and background of this seventh-rank magistrate named Lu Yifeng?

    "What is this Fatty Lu's background? What background?" Returning home angrily, Li Suzu began to think about it while half lying on the chair, but the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out.  Why would the emperor reward him with a yellow jacket? Aobai and Murima will also support him? Since he has such a strong background, why did he go to that idiot Wu Yingqi to buy an official? Is there some strange mechanism in this?  ?¡±

    "Master, master, the little one is back." At this time, Li Shizu's master Bi Binbin sneaked into the study again. Seeing Li Shizu's eyes turned to him, Bi Binbin hurriedly said: "Report to Master, send out to inquire  Those who got the news have paid off, the team of the new governor of Yunnan, Lin Tianqing, has already arrived in Yuanzhou, and calculating the speed of the journey, they will definitely arrive in Qujing before the end of the month."

    "Got it." Li Suzu lazily agreed.

    After waiting for a while and seeing nothing, Bi Binbin asked suspiciously: "Master, haven't you been expecting Lin Zhongcheng to deal with Lu Yifeng? Why didn't you prepare? If you don't collect some evidence about Lu Yifeng's crimes, even if Lin Zhongcheng wants to attack him,  There is no way to find the crime and deal with him right away?"

    Li Shizu didn't answer immediately, and after a long while, Li Shizu said with a gloomy face: "I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as imagined. I didn't expect that there were Obai and Murima standing behind Fatty Lu, and he was wearing the emperor's clothes."  The yellow mandarin jacket that I personally rewarded was given by that old Lin Tianqing.??The doctor's method is to put your ear on Mrs. Li's chest to check, isn't it very elegant?  "

    "That's strange?" Fatty Lu was more puzzled than Zhu Fangdan, and murmured: "Since there is nothing wrong with his heart, why did the people complain a few days ago that there was a little beggar who dirty Mrs. Li's face when he kowtowed to beg for food the year before last?"  The shoe was injured by Mrs. Li, and there was no money to treat the injury, and the wound became inflamed and died of illness?"

    "There is also a beautiful maid in Li Zhifu's family. I heard that because she often served Li Futai, she offended Mrs. Li and disappeared for no reason.  They sent someone to beat them out, saying that their daughter ran away without abiding by women's morals, and they still want to sell themselves for money from the maid's parents?"

    Zhu Fangdan stopped talking, but Li Shizu and Ren Zeyu's couple turned pale together, but they still suppressed their anger and prepared to explain, but Fatty Lu did not let him go, and said, "Also, Doctor Zhu, you have to give Li Shizu  Madam checked carefully. Madam Li's body is unusual. She lived in King Kang's Mansion in Beijing for half a year, and she gave birth to a fat boy only five months after she came back.  There is no need to worry about the shortage of people.¡±

    "Bang!" Li Suzu couldn't bear it anymore, knocked down the teacup on the table, stood up with a livid face, and walked out.  Ren Zeyu's rather pretty face over there was red and green, and he glared at Fatty Lu with great resentment, and also got up and walked away, swearing in his heart-no matter what method he used, he must let this distant nephew die without a trace.  The place of burial!

    "Li Futai, go slowly." Fatty Lu took advantage of it, and said goodbye to Li Shizu hypocritically.

    Li Suizu stopped in his tracks, and said word by word: "My surname is Lu, I know your background is tough, but the old man's background is not far behind. At worst, we all die together. From today on, we are at odds!"  Lizu didn't look back, and left Fatty Lu's small courtyard in a huff.

    "Fatty man, this is not your style." Shang Wanyi said suspiciously: "Although your two distant relatives are both shameless and vicious, and deserve death, you have always liked to stab a knife in the back, why?  Openly turned against them today?"

    "If I don't openly quarrel with them, I will be in big trouble." Fatty Lu said with a sneer, "If I recognize their two relatives today, then they will definitely propose a settlement and ask me to let that bully Ren Xing go."  , This is nothing, the key is that I have lost the opportunity to quickly bring down Li Suzu. If I don¡¯t completely turn against them like this, and drive them into a hurry to take the initiative, I have the opportunity to quickly bring down Li Suzu?  "

    After all, Fatty Lu added in his heart, "Shouldn't Li Suzu, a hard-core traitor, be brought down quickly? Under his nose, I have the opportunity to practice soldiers, build guns, and test new weapons?"

    (ps: The results of the monthly pass are dismal, friends, please give the monthly pass for the great gods to the chaste wolf to share a few.)

    ?Unfortunately, I encountered a subordinate like Fatty Lu who was unconvinced, extremely rampant, and had a strong backer. The most sensible way to be a boss was not to head-on with such a naturally rebellious subordinate.  If you do this, the danger of losing both sides is very great, and you may even play with fire and set yourself on fire.  Especially when Fatty Lu has a good official reputation, it is more likely to be distressed by playing with fire and setting himself on fire.

    The most sensible, safest, and safest way to deal with subordinates like Fatty Lu is to wait, pretend to be false, take a long-term view, maintain a tolerant attitude for the time being, and slowly collect handles.  fatal!  In history, countless upright and famous officials fell under this trick.

    This move is also the one that Fatty Lu fears the most. With Fatty Lu's ideals and ambitions, before the current strength is not enough to protect himself, being in the same city as an informer and hardcore traitor like Li Suzu  A venomous snake staying in a room makes no difference.

    Although Li Suizu knew and was very good at this move, and used it to deal with several political opponents, but he had been invincible for many years in Qujing, and Li Suizu had lost the patience he used to be willing to be humiliated under his crotch,  Numerous arrogance and domineering spirits have been bred, and unfortunately and inevitably fell into Fatty Lu's provocative plan, lost his mind under Fatty Lu's vicious provocation and deliberate provocation, and issued a declaration of war to Fatty Lu,  Make up your mind to get rid of this scourge and disaster of Fatty Lu as soon as possible!

    It can't be completely blamed that Li Suzu didn't have a city mansion, and he had such a shameful scar poked by Fatty Lu. As long as he was a normal man with a little bit of shame, he couldn't keep calm.  But the facts proved that Li Suzu made this decision, and it was tantamount to ringing his own death knell with his own hands.

    Before seeing this ending, Li Shizu and Ren Zeyu, whose backers were equally tough, certainly did not want to believe that there would be such an ending.  The dog-headed military strategist Bi Gaobin got together to discuss how to make Fatty Lu die without a place to bury him.

    "Boss, use the old method." Bi Binbin suggested loyally: "Spend some money to send the chieftain of the Long family, and let them send their children (slaves) to the junction of Zhanyizhou and Qujing County to deliberately make trouble, and provoke Han and Yi  Fight with the people of the ethnic group, and then kill a child, carry the body to Qujing County to make trouble, and then no matter how Fatty Lu is sentenced, the Han and Yi people will be dissatisfied, and then take the opportunity to incite them to make trouble, you can join him for a case that is not effective  Charge him, take him down."

    "No, this is not enough!" Li Suizu slapped the table and shouted: "Even if he succeeds, he will be dismissed at most! I want him to kill everyone! I want him to exterminate all families! Otherwise, it will be hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"

    "That's right, this method is too soft and too slow!" Ren Zeyu also gritted his teeth and said, "I want him to be hacked into pieces, and he will be cut into pieces! Master Bi, please think of a way quickly, and see how you can give that fat man Lu  cut!"

    "Miemen Nine Clans? Execution by Ling Chi?" Bi Binbin cried and said, "Dong Weng, madam, this is a bit difficult. According to the law of the Qing Dynasty, if Fatty Lu is to be executed by Ling Chi, unless he is installed with a rebel or  The crime of murdering his own father, otherwise, no matter how serious the crime he committed, it would be a beheading or beheading at most."

    "Then accuse him of treason and treason! Accuse him of murdering his father!" Li Suzu was also in a hurry, slapping the table and shouting, "I want him to die! I want his whole family to die with him  !"

    "Dong Weng, this is too difficult." Bi Yibin said with a sad face, "Fatty Lu's father has passed away for many years, and even Ding You's period has passed. If you want to frame him to murder his father, you can't find anyone. As for frame him for rebellion  Conspiracy, this is more difficult and very dangerous, if you are not careful, you may cause trouble to your upper body, which in turn will bring disaster to yourself "

    "Master Bi, don't you often compare yourself to Zhang Liang and Kong Ming?" Ren Zeyu said very unhappy: "Could it be that you can't do such a small thing? Then we will support you with one hundred taels of silver a year  Well? Also, don¡¯t think that we don¡¯t know, you still maintain a foreign house outside, and you use money from the magistrate¡¯s yamen!¡±

    "This" Bi Gaobin was even more embarrassed, but after the eyeballs in the triangular eyes turned, Bi Gaobin suddenly made up his mind and said happily, "There is a solution!"

    "What method?" Li Suzu and Ren Zeyu asked in unison.

    "Dong Weng, have you heard the story of the rebellion of the mob in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty?" Bi Binbin made a fool of himself and said darkly: "Back then, Han Shantong and Liu Futong secretly created a one-eyed stone man for the purpose of rebellion, and engraved a picture on the back of the stone man.  Such a passage-the stone man has one eye, provokes the rebellion of the Yellow River. Then"My lord is so stingy, why are you giving him your life?"  "

    "Woman, what do you know?" Bi Binbin suddenly scolded Xiaoli, picked up the clothes and got off the bed, and said in a low voice: "Captain Li, please talk to the outside room."

    After finishing speaking, Bi Gaobin turned his head back and shouted to Xiaoli in a low voice: "Put away your money and jewelry and hide them. Also, if you want to follow me to enjoy the blessings in the future, don't eavesdrop.  It¡¯s not good for you!¡± (To be continued, if you want to know what¡¯s going on, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)

 Chapter 86 The governor is here

    ?

    ? When Fatty Lu was still instructing the people in the farmland of Qujing County to carry out spring plowing, on February 25th, Xianyu reincarnated as Yunnan Governor Lin Tianqing¡¯s team finally arrived at Shengjing Pass at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou.  This is a rather large team. In addition to the three hundred elite soldiers who escorted Lin Tianqing to take office, there are also hundreds of motley teams composed of maids, masters, book offices, long-term followers and servants, surrounding Lin Tianqing's green  The big sedan chair and the four small sedan chairs for the family members boarded the Shengjing Pass on the top of the mountain in a mighty way.

    This is a very magical pass. There are two pairs of stone lions under the Guanming Memorial Archway. The stone lions on the Yunnan side are covered with dry and thin soil for many years, while the Guizhou side is covered with lush moss. The distance is less than three feet.  However, there is a clear distinction between Wei and Wei, but at the foot of the stone lion, there is a naturally formed and more distinct soil boundary. The Yunnan side is red soil, and the Guizhou side is cinnamon soil.  Stretching for hundreds of miles, it neatly separates the two provinces of Guizhou and Yunnan. The uncanny workmanship of nature is really amazing.

    Along the post road from Pingguanbazi to the only low-lying Shengjingguan on the ridge, Lin Tianqing, who was riding a horse in a sedan chair, saw at first sight that there was a long queue in front of Shengjingguan, led by himself  Li Suizu, the prefect of Qujing, an old friend when he was the governor of Yunnan last time.  Looking at the familiar old subordinates and the familiar landscape of Yunnan, Lin Tianqing couldn't help feeling proud and emotional, "It's been four years, I'm back, I'm back at last! I thought there would be no more chances."

    "Play music! Play "Triumph of Triumph"!" Li Suizu, who came to Shengjingguan from Qujing Fucheng to flatter him, couldn't wait to shout, and the bands on both sides rushed to sing together, playing a joyful movement to warmly welcome Lin Zhongcheng's return.  Li Shizu led a large group of civil servants and military generals from Qujing Mansion to come forward, kneel down under the Guan Ming Memorial Arch respectfully, and shouted in unison: "Big ranks, I respectfully welcome Mr. Zhongcheng Lin of this province to take office."

    "Suyuan, please get up quickly, and my lords, please get up quickly." Lin Tianqing got off his horse and helped Li Suzu himself, and said with a smile: "Su Yuan, you and I are old acquaintances, why are you so polite?  Come to Shengjing Pass to meet me in person? Qujing City is not close to Shengjing Pass, it¡¯s more than a hundred miles away.¡±

    "Lord Zhongcheng, you are welcome." Li Suzu said hypocritically: "Lin Zhongcheng once again served as the governor of Yunnan, and shepherds the land of Yunnan.  Holy Grace, benefiting the people, this is also the supreme blessing of the humble, so is there any reason not to go far to the border?"

    "Hehe, Suyuan is still so good at talking." Lin Tianqing smiled happily, looked up at the Qujing civil and military officials behind Li Suzu, and found a lot of old ministries from that year, but he couldn't see the newly acquainted Wangnian friends, so Lin Tianqing asked casually  Said: "Suyuan, where is Lu Yifeng? Why didn't he come?"

    "Why did old man Lin take the initiative to ask Lu Yifeng?" Li Suizu was taken aback. This time, in order to flatter Lin Tianqing, he specially took Qujing civil and military officials for more than a hundred miles to meet Lin Tianqing.  Fatty was still looking for an opportunity to put some eye drops in front of Lin Tianqing, saying that Fatty Lu was so arrogant and conceited, which made Lin Tianqing dissatisfied with Fatty Lu, and then acted cheaply.  It's just that Li Shizu never expected that Lin Tianqing, the head of the province, would take the initiative to ask such a small county head as Fatty Lu, and his tone was so kind.

    "Report to Lin Zhongcheng." Liu Wenjin, the chief soldier of the Qujing Green Battalion under Lin Tianqing's direct command, stood up and said honestly: "When I left the city, Lu Yifeng reported to Zhongcheng through his humble post.  Now is the season of spring plowing, Master Lu is busy organizing and supervising the people to carry out spring plowing, so he will not come to Shengjingguan to welcome you, please forgive me."

    "Lin Zhongcheng, don't listen to that fellow Lu Yifeng." Li Suizu took the opportunity to prescribe bad medicine and said, "Speaking of this Lu Yifeng, he is not only crazy, he has always been defiant.  How could you come so far to greet you even if you refused to pay your respects to your boss? According to the officer, this Lu Yifeng doesn't take others seriously at all."

    "Sanhao is not such a person." Lin Tianqing shook his head and said with a smile: "I know Sanhao well, I may be a little arrogant about his talents, but he treats his elders and superiors with respect and respect. And what he said is right, right now  It's time for spring plowing, as the county magistrate of Qujing, he should put organizing the people to open up wasteland and sow seeds first, and it's only natural that he doesn't come to welcome me."

    Li Shizu was stunned, Liu Wenjin was tongue-tied, and fellow acquaintance Zhang Gaomo secretly wiped his sweat, secretly glad that he had never provoked Fatty Lu, the plague god.  Lin Tianqing then said: "Suyuan, Wenjin, you two are officials in the same city as Yifeng, and you are also his boss. You should help him a little. If you have any mistakes, you should point them out in time and help him correct them. Even if he offends you  placeIt's gone.  Li Shizu almost didn't shed tears, and said with a mournful face: "The humble official can not save my brother-in-law, he can clean up as he pleases, and the humble official can also bow to Lu Yifeng-in fact, the humble official has done this before."  However, Mr. Lu doesn't forgive humble officials. These days, he has received dozens of complaints against humble officials, and he has also obtained a lot of real evidence.  After a big humiliation, it was clear that he wanted to fight the humble job to the death.  "

    "So, Lu Yifeng has gone too far, it's too unreasonable and unforgiving." Lin Tianqing was not afraid of Li Shizu's sadness, so he said to himself in person: "No, after seeing him, I have to  Scold this little fat man¡ªif he does this, it will offend people in the officialdom, and it will be detrimental to his future."

    "What about the humble job?" Li Suzu was about to cry¡ªin Lin Tianqing's words, he didn't think about him at all.

    "This old man will come forward and ask for a favor for you." Lin Tianqing said helplessly: "When we arrive in Qujing, this old man will bring you to his door to make amends. Considering this old man's face, I think he will let you go, no  I will continue to fight with you. ¡ª¡ªBut the old man has something to say first, I don¡¯t care about your brother-in-law, Lu Yifeng acts according to the law, even if you order your brother-in-law to be hanged, you don¡¯t want to ask the old man to plead for mercy."

    "Lord Xie Zhongcheng, Lord Xie Zhongcheng, for your kindness." Li led his ancestors to kowtow again and again, and said from the heart: "As long as Master Lu no longer targets the lowly job, the lowly job can not save my brother-in-law, and can stop interfering in all his government affairs, let alone  If you dare to wear small shoes for him, even if he wants to be the prefect of Qujing, he can do it!"

    "As long as you have the intention." Lin Tianqing was very satisfied with the effect of his intimidation, and said happily: "I guess you have guessed it, the relationship between the old man and Lu Yifeng is very close, if the old man comes forward, he will not give the old man this  face."

    Of course Fatty Lu has to sell the face of governor Lin Tianqing, but he must not overthrow Li Suzu, this whistleblower and hard-core traitor to death, Fatty Lu does not dare to let go of many important matters, when Lin Tianqing arrives in Qujing City  With Li Suzu to intercede, how should Fatty Lu respond?

 Chapter 87

    ?

    (ps: Continue to ask for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets.)

    In 1606 A.D., the thirty-fourth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Li Chengliang, the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, did not know what medicine he had taken wrongly, and threw away six important fortresses in Fushun and Qinghe, the important towns in Liaodong.  The Han people of the Ming Dynasty were also thrown away. Since then, the Ming Dynasty has lost the only barrier against the Tunguska barbarians, and the Han people in Liaodong have become the meat on the anvil of the barbarians.  Han Chinese are allowed to live.

    The person who took over these inheritances was Li Chengliang's godson, Aixinjueluo Nushahachi.

    Li Suizu, courtesy name Kecheng, courtesy name Suyuan, son of Li Chengliang's grandson Li Gengzhong, eldest daughter married to the same banner Adahaha, son of Zhang Xinde, Zhengbai Banner infantry co-leader Zhang Xu, and Cao Zhenyan, who killed only six people in Datong City  family marriage.

    ?By the way, Zhengbai Banner was called Zhenghuang Banner in the era of Nuerhachi. Huang Taiji changed it later, and the yellow and white things were reversed, so Li led his ancestors to use Zhenghuang Banner first, and then Zhengbai Banner.

    The descendants of Qin Hui's family were very disgraced. Qin Hui's great-grandson Qin Ju is a typical representative. When the ancestors of the masters of the Qing Dynasty, the Dajins, attacked Qizhou, Qin Ju led the army to resist. The Dajin masters happily surrendered, but Qin Ju did not know the current affairs.  Killed the envoy of the big gold master, led the army and civilians in the city to resist national integration, acted against the sky, and deserved to die!

    As a result, the city of Qizhou was destroyed, and Qin Ju, a national sinner who resisted national integration, was seriously wounded by the justice of Dajin's national integration, but he was still stubborn.  He committed suicide by throwing fire into his mouth, died without a corpse, and insisted on rejecting the ethnic integration between the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty and the Han people, he deserved it!

    It really deserves it, let a glorious ancestor not follow suit, but wants to imitate the sinner Yue Feiyue Wumu who resisted national integration, it is simply embarrassing the face of the ancestor!

    ? In contrast, Li Shizu, who is the great-grandson of Li Chengliang, is much more glorious and great, and he shined even more brilliantly in the Zha Rulong case, and his achievements in the Qing Dynasty are catching up with his ancestors!

    Zha Rulong was originally an official of the Southern Ming Dynasty. After the fall of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he lived in the rivers and lakes. He ran around to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.  Seals can be fake.  All of his forged letters contained the content of "connecting voices, planning to raise troubles together, and restoring the Central Plains".  He compiled these things into a volume, took it with him, and went to Yunnan.  After staying in a temple not far from Kunming, he wrote a blood letter to Wu Sangui, to the effect:

    The governors of the world, the towns and the ministers of the court, all have the same heart, and they treat the king as a meeting of the League of Jin (King Wu defeated Zhou and gathered eight hundred princes at Mengjin Ferry, Henan).  Your Majesty, you are a Han Chinese, and what happened back then (referring to the surrender to the Qing Dynasty) was out of necessity.  Today's opportunity is in the hands of the king. If the king sends troops to the Central Plains, the world will respond. This is a great opportunity in the ages!

    Unfortunately, due to various reasons, Zha Rulong's items and blood books were not sent to Wu Sangui, but was unfortunately arrested in Qujing Mansion. These items and academics fell into the hands of Li Suzu.

    As a hero in the early Qing Dynasty and a direct descendant of the old master of the Aixinjueluo family, Li Shizu has never been convinced by Wu Sangui - his family's contribution to the establishment of the Qing Dynasty is not much less than Wu Sangui's contribution, so why is Wu Sangui higher?  Weight, bestowing feudal lords?  But I can only be a fourth-rank magistrate in Qujing Mansion where birds don't lay eggs, and I have to listen to Wu Sangui, the house slave's command and dispatch?

    So after obtaining these things, of course Li Suizu did not follow the pedantic example of Qin Hui's descendants to betray the great cause of their ancestors. In order to continue to resist the great banner of the ancestors' ethnic integration, and also to punish Wu Sangui, the servant of the slave family, and let Wu Sangui know about his family  Li Suizu burned the forged letters of Zha Rulong¡¯s provincial governors and admirals with a torch, and then handed over the bloody letters to the Tartar court¡ªLi Suizu is not stupid, if these letters are handed in,  Not only does it implicate too much and offend the governors and governors all over the world, but it may actually force a few governors and admirals to turn against them, which is a big deal.

    ? In the end, Li Zhifu deliberately handed over Zha Rulong to Wu Sangui, and immediately forced Wu Sangui into an extremely embarrassing situation.  The result is very natural, because the blood book has been made public by Li Suzu and handed over to the Tazi court.  The dragon was handed over to the Qing court for execution, which not only aroused the condemnation of the Han people all over the country, but also attracted further suspicion from the Qing court.

    Compared with Wu Sangui's disheveled face, Li Zhifu is much more beautiful. Not only has he once again proved the loyalty of the Li family in Tieling to the Aixinjueluo family, but he has also transformed himself into an important chess piece for Mi Qing to restrain and monitor Wu Sangui.  No matter how tyrannical Qu Jing is, no matter how corrupt and corrupt the people are, no one dares to touch human life, fame and fortune, gratifying to congratulate?He said viciously in his heart: "Prince Kang, you don't want to see your own son be beheaded together with Lao Tzu, do you? The son I raised for you in the past few years was raised for nothing?!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Of course, Lin Tianqing didn't know that Li Suzu had planned to bite himself into it. After hastily ending the welcome ceremony and returning to Qujing City, Lin Tianqing kindly called Lu Fatty, and said to Lu Fatty alone: ??"Yifeng, you are making a fuss today.  It's outrageous, if you do it like this, your reputation will spread, it's better in Yunnan, the old man can help and protect you openly and secretly, but if you are transferred to other provinces, you will have to run into walls everywhere,  It's difficult. Do you understand this truth?"

    "Uncle Lin, my nephew certainly understands this truth." Fatty Lu said helplessly, "But the common people in Qujing were really screwed up by Li Shizu.  The shame of the first year of Kangxi¡ªmy nephew didn¡¯t do this. Could it be that, like Cheng Feng, the former county magistrate, he ignored the county affairs with a dull head and compiled another "Qujing Mansion Chronicle"? Then how could my nephew explain to the court?  Explain to the prince?"

    "So, it's really difficult for you to make a choice." Lin Tianqing was really nice to Fatty Lu, and quickly accepted Fatty Lu's explanation, and made allowances for Fatty Lu's dilemma.  After pondering for a while, Lin Tianqing said again: "However, Yifeng, Li Suzu's background and backing are not simple. Even if you overthrow him, you will suffer some losses. Why do you do this?"

    "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to excuse Li Shizu, I'm doing it for your own good." Lin Tianqing added: "Do you think it's okay to do this? I have some friendship with Governor Bian Sanyuan of Yunnan and Guizhou. I'm going to negotiate with him.  Demote Li Shizu to one level or transfer him to Guizhou, let him get out of Qujing mansion, and don't force him to die. In this way, you can complete the errand of the prince without forcing Li Shizu to jump over the wall  , dying to bite you, that taste is not good."

    "Uncle Lin, my nephew understands your kindness." Fatty Lu nodded, and then said: "But Uncle Lin, my nephew thinks it's too late¡ªI don't know if my uncle noticed it, but today's matter is at the end.  Your eyes have changed, and you are full of murderous intent! If my little nephew is right, he will probably bite you in this time!"

    "Only him?" Lin Tianqing said disdainfully: "How dare he? Unless he wants to beheaded and become Ling Chi, and one person becomes a full family!"

    "That's exactly his purpose." Fatty Lu said coldly: "If my nephew and him switch places, the only way right now is to bite uncle you back and drag you into trouble too! In this way, uncle you  Because the involved in the case must be avoided, naturally it is impossible to continue to investigate the case. The case can also continue to escalate. When it comes to the capital, Prince Kang and the master of Zhengbai Banner behind him have to come forward. With these big shots intervening, he will have a chance.  gone?"

    Lin Tianqing stopped talking, and after a long time, Lin Tianqing sat up straight and ordered: "Master Yang, send someone immediately to return the things that Li Shizu gave to this old man."

 Chapter 88 Back to Kunming

    ?

    (ps: Pure Wolf is not feeling well, as if sick, so the plot and word count are less today, please forgive me.)

    Although Fatty Lu successfully prevented Lin Tianqing from pleading for Li Shizu, and also made Lin Tianqing, who was planning to favor him, more inclined to himself, but Lin Tianqing has not yet officially taken over the post, and Lin Tianqing, the old official fox who finally turned salty fish, also  It is impossible for Fatty Lu to joke about his future and official career because of Fatty Lu's few words, and directly use the extremely taboo method of beheading first and playing later to deal with Li Suzu, so Lin Tianqing can only follow the rules and go through the procedure, so as not to be caught by others  Hold on.

    Lin Tianqing really had no choice. Li Shizu was born in the Tieling Li family. This family's status in this dynasty is very sensitive.  Prince Kang Jieshu, this old man is not someone to provoke, the prince is still Xiao Mazi's cousin, if he goes out to support Li Suzu with all his strength, Lin Tianqing will not be able to do anything if he wants to, and of course he dare not stay  Lin Tianqing is not that stupid to let others catch the handle.

    Of course, Fatty Lu didn¡¯t want to give Li Shizu a chance to breathe, but it¡¯s a pity that life is unsatisfactory. On the first day of March, Lin Tianqing set off from Qujing to Kunming to receive the seal, and Fatty Lu had to go with him. One was to attend Lin Tianqing¡¯s  The second is to visit Wu Sangui, Wu Yingqi, Liu Xuanchu and other backers and teachers in the ceremony of taking office, which cannot be shirked anyway, and the third point is to go to Kunming to formally get married to the monk Wanyi¡ªthis point  There is no way to shirk.

    So there was no other way, Fatty Lu had no choice but to temporarily put down the county affairs, and temporarily entrusted some key witnesses and material evidence to Wang Jing, deputy general of Yunnan Province, for protection to prevent Li Suzu from murdering people, and then brought his fianc¨¦e Shang Wanyi, Zhu Fangdan, and Xiao Erlang  , Fang Shiyu and other dog legs left Qujing City and followed Lin Tianqing to Kunming City to take office.  The experienced, seasoned and steady Li Tianzhi stayed in Qujing City with the three brothers of the Liu family. One was to monitor Li Suzu's actions, and the other was to cooperate with Wang Jing to protect witnesses and material evidence, so as to minimize any accidents.

    In addition, under the persuasion of Fatty Lu, Lin Tianqing secretly summoned Zhang Gaomo, the acquaintance of Qujing who had been overwhelmed by Li Shizu for a long time, secretly ordered him to monitor Li Shizu, and promised to bring down Li Shizu  He straightened Zhang Gaomo and planted another nail beside Li Suzu.  But in any case, Li Shizu still got an extremely valuable respite, and it also gave him a glimmer of hope in his plan to stir things up-of course, while making things bigger and winning a glimmer of hope, Li Shizu himself also had a lot of hope.  A point of danger, a little carelessness, the end will only be worse.

    On the first day of March, he left Qujing City with Lin Tianqing's team. Fatty Lu suddenly discovered that Wu Guogui had also left Qujing City with his wife and children and hundreds of soldiers, and joined Lin Tianqing's team. Fatty Lu couldn't help being very curious  As soon as he started on the road, he looked for an opportunity to ask Wu Guogui: "General Wu, aren't you inspecting the military affairs of Youzhen on behalf of Prince Pingxi? Why, the errands are over?"

    "It's over." Wu Guogui nodded and said with a smile: "Wang Junmen didn't say he was leading the troops. In fact, I was just going through a cutscene. Now that the cutscene is over, I should go back and do another job on the way."

    "Just do another errand on the road?" Fatty Lu was stunned, and asked, "What errand? Between Qujing and Kunming, there seems to be no big city and large garrison?"

    "What errand? Of course it's to protect you and your little Gege!" Wu Guogui said angrily, "You abducted the little Gege from the Pingnan Palace to Yunnan, and made such a big commotion that the Pingnan Prince was so angry that he died on the spot.  He vomited blood. These days, the lord quarrels with Prince Pingnan every day. With the virtuous character of lord Pingnan, you are not afraid that he will send assassins to kill you? The lord is worried about this, so as soon as you return to Qujing, ask me to take someone with you  coming."

    "Who says I'm not afraid? Otherwise, what would I do with Fang Shiyu with me at any time?" Fatty Lu murmured in his heart, but with an apologetic smile on his face, he said, "It turns out that General Wu has a secret mission to protect the subordinates.  , Dare to work for the general, I am really flattered and terrified."

    "It's good that you know." Wu Guogui said unceremoniously: "When you arrive in Kunming, please give the prince a few more kowtows to thank him. If the prince didn't protect you, several of your heads would have been chopped off! Do you think  Pingnan Palace is the master who can suffer from being dumb?"

    "That's it, that's it." Fatty Lu nodded and bowed, agreeing flatteringly, and muttered in his heart: "This matter is actually up to you¡ª¡ªIf you had shown me that your daughter Wu Xiaotu is so beautiful, I would have been right."  Shang Wanyan is tempted? I must have asked the teacher to be a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, and there is no need to make such a big noise?"

    Muttering in his heart, Fatty Lu couldn't help but secretly glanced at Wu Guogui again.? Let¡¯s talk about the palace.  Yifeng, don't speak indiscriminately.  "

    "Mr. Maoya, do you think Wang Shirong is really narrow-minded, and he came here to embarrass Master Lu this time?" Wang Shirong asked Liu Xuanchu in displeasure.

    "Then what are you doing here?" Liu Xuanchu froze for a moment, and said, "Before this old man invited you to meet Lord Hou Lin and Yifeng, didn't you say that you were not feeling well?"

    "I was a little uncomfortable before, but now something happened, so I had to come." Wang Shirong replied coldly.

    "What happened?" Fatty Lu finally spoke, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

    "The matter between you and Li Shizu is getting serious." Wang Shirong threw a small bamboo tube into Lu Fatty's arms, turned around and left, "Flying pigeons who just came from Guiyang passed on the letter, and Li Shizu expedited it with six hundred miles.  Yueji reported to the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Bian Sanyuan, to impeach Lin Tianqing for accepting bribes from you, intentionally favoring and slandering him, and asked Bian Sanyuan to intervene."

    Speaking of this, Wang Shirong had already mounted his horse again, and said coldly: "There is also news, on the day you left Qujing, Li Shizu's wife Ren Zeyu set off for the capital, very fast, and arrived in Anshun yesterday!¡ª  ¡ªI really don¡¯t know what you and Lin Tianqing are doing, since you want to attack Li Suzu, why give him a chance to breathe?¡±

    After all, Wang Shirong patted his horse and left without looking back, while Fatty Lu and Wu Yingqi looked at each other in blank dismay. They really didn't understand how Wang Shirong, who had always been unhappy with Fatty Lu, could become like this.  On the contrary, Liu Xuanchu smiled, patted Fatty Lu on the shoulder and said: "A good minister has always had such a temper. Although he is a little narrow-minded, he still has a very firm stand on matters concerning the Pingxi Palace¡ªotherwise, he just needs to put  If you reveal your identity to the court a little bit, your errands will not be so easy to handle. Well, go and give this to Lin Tianqing, and let him be ready."

 Chapter 89 Shortsightedness

    ?

    (ps: A monthly ticket is nothing to the great gods, but to a pure and honest newcomer wolf, it can take one step or even a few steps forward on the monthly ticket list. Therefore, friends, don¡¯t add icing on the cake, let¡¯s give charcoal in the snow.  )

    Li led his ancestors to jump over the wall in a hurry to bite Lin Tianqing, and directly brought the matter to Bian Sanyuan, governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. Fatty Lu had already prepared himself for this, so naturally he was not too nervous¡ªFatty Lu is now in the Pingxi Palace  Bian Sanyuan is Wu Sangui's confidant and lackey, so how can Fatty Lu suffer?  As for making further troubles, it is tantamount to dragging Bian Sanyuan and Lin Tianqing into the water together. When the sky falls, they are tall enough to support them, so Fatty Lu doesn't have to worry about it.

    Lin Tianqing was the one who got the most out of it. He finally got out of the mountain and served as the governor of Yunnan again. He encountered such a thing when he first arrived in Kunming to accept the seal. Being 'slandered' by a subordinate for embezzlement and accepting bribes is a hundred times more disgusting than eating flies.  No matter how good-tempered Lin Tianqing was, he couldn't hold back his anger. He expressed on the spot that he would use his power in the court to fight Li Suzu to the death.  But Fatty Lu didn't have time to scold Lin Tianqing, so he greeted Lin Tianqing, led Shang Wanyi, Xiao Erlang and other bastards, and followed Liu Xuanchu and Wu Yingqi to Wuhua Mountain to pay respects to the old traitor Wu Sangui.

    This time, with Liu Xuanchu and Wu Yingqi leading the way, not only did Fatty Lu no longer have to give money to the guards at the foot of Wuhua Mountain, but half a year ago, the guards of the Pingxi Palace, who were showing off their might, were still waiting in line at the foot of the mountain, including Kong Fanlin and Luo Kedi, who escorted Lu  Fatty's old acquaintance in Guangzhou met again after half a year, and their status and status were very different. It really made Fatty Lu sigh, and also made Kong Fanlin and Luo Kedi, who often forced Fatty Lu to treat customers and prostitutes, with deep emotion-this dead fat man  , yesterday got mixed up so quickly?

    What made Fatty Lu flattered was still behind. After hearing the report from the guards, Wu Sangui actually led Wu Sanmei, Hu Guozhu, Guo Zhuangtu, Xia Guoxiang, Fang Guangchen, Ma Bao, Gao Dejie and other confidants to the palace.  Greeting in front of the gate, the old traitor gave such face, Fatty Lu, who was under the edge of the house, had no choice but to drag Shang Wanyi up to salute, and pay respects to the old traitor Wu Sangui as a junior.  The old traitor Wu helped Fatty Lu himself very affectionately, and then asked Shang Wanyan to ask, laughing and said: "My niece, please hurry up, when the old man saw you last time, you seemed to be less than five years old."  Right? I remember that I still had a snotty nose at the time, but in the blink of an eye, she has become a pretty girl."

    "I made my uncle laugh." Shang Wanyi said with a blushing face, "Wanyi has taken the liberty to come here this time, and dragged her uncle to be impeached by her father. She really deserves death."

    "It's a trivial matter!" The old man Wu waved his hand triumphantly, and said with a smile, "You and nephew Yifeng are in love with each other, and you don't dislike the poor and love the rich. He is still a humble official, so he voluntarily gave up his glory and wealth and followed him to a remote place.  This kind of strength of character is enough to set an example for women in the world! As an uncle, is there any reason why you cannot be fulfilled? Don't worry, as long as the old man is alive, he will never let anyone bully you  This pair of mandarin ducks in distress!"

    Not to mention, old traitor Wu really has a few points that are worthy of praise, not to mention the matter of Chen Yuanyuan. When old traitor Wu was young, he had a colleague named Wang. Because of his close relationship, old traitor Wu  He promised to marry his colleague's infant son Wang Yongning if he had a daughter. Later, Wu Sangui gained power, but Wang Yongning's family was in decline, and his father had passed away. He was thirty years old and hadn't married yet.  After reading the marriage letter written by Wu Sangui back then, he had the courage to beg all the way to Yunnan. He did not dare to ask Wu Sangui to marry his daughter to him, but only asked Wu Sangui to help him a little bit.  What Wang Yongning never imagined in his dreams was that after seeing the marriage letter, Wu Sangui immediately married his daughter Wu Mei to him and gave him a large dowry.  Living for his daughter and son-in-law, Wang Yongning also got rid of poverty and became rich, and became a tyrant in Suzhou.  This matter was spread as a good talk for a while, and the old traitor Wu made a lot of face, and it also completely compared the two old traitors Geng Jimao and Shang Kexi, the nouveau riche.

    The gossip is far away, let¡¯s get down to business, after a few words of politeness with Fatty Lu and his wife at the gate of Wang¡¯s Mansion, the old traitor Wu asked the maid to send Shang Wanyi to the back garden to meet his wife Zhang and Chen Yuanyuan, and then personally pulled Fatty Lu¡¯s fat  Enter the mansion with your hands, go to the Yin'an Hall where the banquet is set up, and personally welcome the dust for Fatty Lu.  During the banquet, the old traitor Wu also formally introduced Fatty Lu to his cronies, and praised Fatty Lu for his wisdom, courage, loyalty and loyalty, and asked all the cronies to treat Fatty Lu as brothers.  In the end, Old Traitor Wu asked Liu Xuanchu to introduce everyone present one by one to Fatty Lu, so that Fatty Lu could get acquainted with and integrate into Pingxi Palace as soon as possible.

    When introducing everyone present to Fatty Lu one by one, Liu Xuanchu focused on introducing two characters to Fatty Lu¡ª¡ªHu Guozhu and Ma Bao.Wang Shirong ignored Wang Shirong's accusation, and only confided his feelings to Liu Xuanchu who was full of displeasure behind his back, "Teacher, the student knows, you must think that the student is short-sighted-but, teacher, have you ever thought about it? If we  If you successfully persuade the prince to form an alliance with Ao Zhongtang, and help Ao Zhongtang to abolish and establish, then the consequences will be dangerous!"

    "Why is such a consequence dangerous?" Liu Xuanchu asked suspiciously.

    "Given the indecisive and indecisive character of the lord, if you don't push him completely, will the lord make a big deal?" Fatty Lu asked solemnly: "With Oboi's old treacherous and cunning character, in the situation where the emperor's heart is unstable  Next, will you take drastic measures against the prince? As for the Emperor Tartar, if Oboi fights against him with the support of the prince, even the Emperor Tartar will be severely injured, and so will the old fox of the Empress Dowager.  It will prevent the Tartar emperor from pushing the prince to a desperate situation! Then, if the prince is not forced to the point of no return, will he take the risk of rebelling? Can the wishes of the teachers and students be fulfilled?"

    Liu Xuanchu was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, Liu Xuanchu's old face, which was full of displeasure before, was filled with a relieved smile, "You see farther than us, and Wang Shirong and I are the ones who are short-sighted."

 Chapter 90

    ?

    Perhaps Fatty Lu was born with a busy life. In Qujing, he organized people to open up wasteland and spring plowing, and fought with Li Suzu for power and profit. When he came to Kunming, Fatty Lu was still as busy as ever.  On the morning of the second day after returning to Kunming, Fatty Lu first went to Kunming City to attend Lin Tianqing's ceremony of accepting the seal, and then thanked Lin Tianqing for his kind invitation to the banquet. He didn't even bother to take a sip of water, and immediately rushed back to Wuhua Mountain  , and dragged Wu Yingqi who was taking a nap in the study with her beautiful concubine in her arms, out of the bed.

    "Yifeng, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?" Seeing that Fatty Lu has won him a lot of glory in the past six months, Wu Yingqi, who was bleary-eyed and pulled out of the bed, didn't get angry. He just rubbed his eyes and said, "If  It's about your marriage, then you go to Yang Shanzi, I remember the father told him to arrange it."

    "Second prince, if you arrange such a trivial matter for your marriage, will I come to trouble you?" Fatty Lu smiled wryly, and asked again: "Second prince, I dare to ask, do you prepare the gunpowder used by the army of the palace yourself or ask the merchants?"  buy?"

    "Both of them." Wu Yingqi yawned and said, "Both self-made and purchased from merchants, but more self-made. Why do you ask this?"

    "Second prince, let me ask you again, we Pingxi Palace prepares gunpowder ourselves, where does the soil salt come from?" Fatty Lu asked: "Is it mined locally in Yunnan? Or buy it from a merchant?"

    "Are you stupid? South acid and north alkali, nitrate soil from Yunnan?" Wu Yingqi said angrily: "Even if there is some nitrate soil in the deep mountains and old forests, you have to dig mountains and drill holes to mine it. Who would go to such great effort?  ?¡±¡ªBy the way, there are actually nitrate mines in Yunnan, but the technology of this era cannot be exploited in large quantities.

    "So, all the soil salt in Yunnan is purchased from the north." Fatty Lu continued to ask: "Is the price expensive?"

    "Why not expensive?" Wu Yingqi became angrier the more he heard it, "One tael of soil salt is one tael of silver, and it is more expensive to bring it from the north. Our Pingxi Palace spends two to three hundred thousand taels of silver every year to buy soil salt!  What on earth do you want to do? I have nothing else to do and I have to go back to take a nap!"

    "Second Prince, if you skip this afternoon nap, you can save two or three hundred thousand taels of silver every year, are you happy?" Fatty Lu asked mysteriously.

    "What do you mean?" Wu Yingqi finally became interested.

    "It's like this." Fatty Lu said mysteriously: "During my humble mission to Guangdong, I saw that merchants and soldiers in foreign domains in the West liked to use firearms, and the gunpowder cost a lot, so I tried to find out the source of their gunpowder.  The Western army has a very magical method that can produce soil salt, regardless of season and region, as long as there are people with livestock, they can produce a large amount of soil salt, and the quality is better than that of our Qing Dynasty. I feel that this  The method may be applicable to the second prince, so I spent a lot of effort studying the Western books bought from them, found out this Western method of making nitrate, and prepared to dedicate it to the second prince."

    "What else?" Wu Yingqi's eyes lit up, and he asked nervously, "Really or not? Are you bragging?"

    "Second prince, don't worry, I have already tried my humble job, and I will definitely be able to make soil salt." Fatty Lu pulled out a few pages from his sleeve, held them in front of Wu Yingqi with both hands, and said with a flattering face: "The methods of making soil salt in the West are all complete."  Write it on it, please take a look at it, the second prince, although the raw materials are a bit stinky, they are everywhere in Yunnan and Guizhou, as long as we use this method to make soil nitrate, our Pingxi Palace will no longer have to worry about the lack of gunpowder, and buy soil nitrate for use every year  The hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, can all be saved"

    Before Fatty Lu finished speaking, Wu Yingqi snatched those pages, and what was written on them was actually the method of making nitrate from the toilet soil that Fatty Lu taught Chen Jinnan at the beginning, using the toilet soil rich in calcium nitrate  Its characteristics are that calcium nitrate is dissolved in water, then plant ash rich in potassium carbonate is added, heated to make water nitrate, and then boiled into soil nitrate.  The only difference is that Fatty Lu has added a method to further purify soil nitrate into high-purity potassium nitrate in these pages. Fatty Lu is not partial to the old traitor Wu, the key is that the Taiwanese army controlled by Zheng Jing and the Japanese  There are too many contacts, Fatty Lu doesn't want to spread this method to the Japanese pirates.

    "Is it really useful?" Wu Yingqi was both delighted and amazed, "If you make soil nitrate in this way, doesn't it mean that a lot of nitrate can be produced in my small yard?"

    "It's absolutely true." Fatty Lu patted his chest and said: "The humble officer has already tested it with his own hands. If the second prince wants to see it with his own eyes, he can immediately find a few gunpowder craftsmen in the army. The humble officer will teach them this method and let them  Act according to the law, and then at night at most, the first batch of good soil nitrate will be produced."

    "What else do you teach?" Wu Yingqi yelled in a very unconscionable way.The sword, the western gun that hits farther and more accurately than the bird gun, and the new western salute that is lighter and more flexible than the red cannon, but can hit farther and more accurately than the red cannon.  With these things, it will be more convenient and more majestic than before for the prince to go up the mountain to hunt a bird, and to greet that distinguished guest with some salutes.  "

    There was no sound in Yin'an Hall, and Wu Sangui's confidantes present all looked at each other, but they didn't speak. Although Wu Sangui was very moved, he also saw Lu Fatty's attainments in Western culture, and knew that Lu Fatty would never dare to use himself against him.  I believe bragging is a joke, but making these things is definitely not a joke. No matter how high and powerful Wu Sangui is, he dare not make up his mind casually.

    After a long time, Liu Xuanchu suddenly scolded: "Bold boy, what nonsense are you talking about? Privately forging firearms is not allowed in this dynasty. Do you want to have your family ransacked?"

    "My lord, this old man is incapable of teaching, and the students I teach are talking nonsense, which offends my lord, please forgive my sin." Liu Xuanchu turned to Wu Sangui and cupped his hands, and said, "However, this student likes to delve into Western knowledge, which is a good thing. Old man  I think that the prince can borrow some of his manpower to set up some western glass workshops in the area of ??Nule Peak, as well as a firecracker and firecracker workshop and several blacksmith workshops, so as to make some firecrackers for the people of Yunnan and Guizhou for Chinese New Year and plowing.  The farm tools are still completely feasible.¡±

    "Lord Lu, can the Western salute you mentioned really be made?" Gao Dejie asked Fatty Lu calmly.

    "I'm 70% to 80% sure." Fatty Lu replied seriously.

    "Then it's okay to build one or two doors." Gao Dejie smiled, then turned to Wu Sangui and said, "My lord, since Master Lu likes to study Western knowledge so much, let him try it. The general will listen to General Wu Guogui."  He said that Master Lu¡¯s glazed workshop in Qujing has already produced some high-quality glazed glazes. Such good things cannot be stolen by outsiders, which will cut off the wealth of our Yunnan, Guizhou, army and civilians. Therefore, the last general suggested  The lord can send three to five hundred troops to build a small barracks near Nule Peak, and set aside a special area for Master Lu to make colored glaze, so as to prevent others from stealing our Yunnan-Guizhou technology."

    "Also, Mr. Liu." Hu Guozhu also turned to Liu Yi and asked, "Last time, I heard from you that there seems to be some mine in the Nule Peak area. Why don't we send someone to look for it?"

    "That's right, I heard that there seems to be coal mines in that area." Liu Yi understood, cupped his hands to Wu Sangui and said, "My lord, it's time to explore the minerals in the Nule Peak area carefully. Since Lord Lu likes to study Western culture so much,  How about sending him to investigate?"

    "Yes, yes, yes." Ma Bao was not stupid, turned to Fatty Lu and said, "Yifeng, if you can find high-quality refined iron in the area around Nule Peak, why don't you give me a good saber?  Can you give me the bird gun you mentioned just now?"

    "Don't worry, General Ma, as long as you give me time, manpower and space, I will never let you down." Fatty Lu replied respectfully.

    "That's good." Ma Bao nodded in satisfaction, turned to Wu Sangui and said, "My lord, why not just lend Nule Peak to Master Lu, since it's empty anyway."

    "That's right, my lord, please lend Nule Peak to Master Lu." Fang Guangchen, Wu Guogui and the others agreed one after another, "It's a good thing to make some glazed farming tools."

    "I object." The only one who objected was Wang Shirong, but Wang Shirong did not object to Fatty Lu's making farm tools and finding coal mines. He said: "Qujing is always a little far away from Kunming.  Once he knows how to make new agricultural tools and colored glaze, it will be a big trouble. According to the students, these workshops can be moved to the edge of Dianchi Lake, and Mr. Lu will go back and forth a few more times, so that nothing will go wrong.  "

    "Mr. Wang, it's not that I'm afraid of running around." Fatty Lu said in a deep voice, "It's just that casting new agricultural tools is no more than studying how to make soil nitrate. It takes countless time and countless experiments, not the few times of running back and forth.  It can be done. Moreover, the area around Dianchi Lake has a large population, which is far less safe than Nule Peak, which is vast and sparsely populated."

    "But where is Li Suzu?" Wang Shirong asked worriedly.

    "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, please don't worry, my lord." Fatty Lu said in a deep voice, "That's what I think. When I first imitate the Western glazed mirror and sell it for a big price, then you can justifiably sell this mirror to me, my lord."  After receiving this technology, they used the excuse of keeping the technology secret and set up a military camp in the vicinity of Nule Peak to make glazed mirrors. The humble job then slowly led the craftsmen of the Pingxi Palace to produce colored glazes in exchange for capital, while making new farm tools and new tools for the prince.  Firecrackers. And by then, Beizhi and Lin Tianqing should be able to work together to drive Li Suzu out of Qujing."

    "That's how it is." Wu Sangui finally nodded, and said: "When you successfully make the western glazed mirror and Li Suzu gets out of Qujing, I will lend you Nule Peak and provide you with it.  Enough troops and manpower, let you make colored glaze and other things there.¡ªOf course, only new farm tools, Western bird guns and Western salutes are allowed.  Resolutely not!"

 Chapter 91

    ?

    The wedding of Fatty Lu and Shang Wanyi was held on the eighth day of March. Wu Sangui, who has always been generous in this regard, not only paid all the wedding expenses out of his own pocket, but  In the Pingxi Palace, a courtyard was vacated for Fatty Lu as his new house, and the Diancui Hall in Pingxi Palace was lent to Fatty Lu as a color hall, which saved the face of loving talents and cherishing talents, and also turned his old enemy into an old traitor.  His old face was slapped.

    To everyone's surprise, among the wedding congratulators, the shadows of Jingnan Prince's Mansion and Pingnan Prince's Mansion appeared. Geng Jingzhong sent an envoy to Jingnan Prince's Mansion to send a gift to Fatty Lu on behalf of Geng Jimao and Geng Jingzhong's father and son.  A congratulatory gift that is neither thick nor thin, and that he still recognizes Shang Wanyi as a relative, and also recognizes Fatty Lu as a relative who is beating around the bush, has given Fatty Lu enough face.  On the other side of the Pingnan Palace, Shang Zhixin personally gave Fatty Lu a generous gift, saying that no matter what Shang Kexi's other brothers, the old traitor monk Zhixin think, Shang Zhixin will recognize Shang Wanyi's younger sister and Fatty Lu  This brother-in-law really moved Shang Wanyi a lot, and felt that although Shang Zhixin was a bit more vicious and cruel, he still had a little more humanity than other brothers and sisters.

    The man's elder representative at the wedding was Qin Chuanwu, uncle of Fatty Lu who came from Dali - he is also the only living relative of Lu Fatty, and the woman's elder representative was Wu Sanmei, Wu Sangui's younger brother - Wu Sangui specially arranged to beat Shang Lao  traitor face.  On the third day after marriage, because Shang Wanyi's natal family no longer recognized her as a daughter, Wu Sangui's original spouses Zhang Shi and Chen Yuanyuan took Shang Wanyi to live in their yard for a day as a return ceremony, and Fatty Lu had to start making troubles.  The preparations for returning to Qujing are already underway, and I still have to find time to meet with Liu Xuanchu and discuss important matters with him alone¡ªto be precise, it should be to discuss how to do some important matters that should be ransacked by the Qing court.

    This time the master-student secret meeting was held in Liu Xuanchu's small courtyard. After driving away the maids and servants in the study, Liu Xuanchu straight to the point and asked the favorite student: "Yifeng, what do you plan to do next?"

    "Returning to my mentor, of course we are actively preparing for it." Fatty Lu replied respectfully: "The first thing to solve is the problem of firearms. Thanks to the blessing of my mentor and the second prince, the students have secretly visited the prince's army firearms and equipment, and found that the prince's army  The firearms equipped are the same as those of the imperial court. They are relatively advanced matchlock guns, but they are far behind in terms of artillery.  There are very few Franc cannons in existence, and the most equipped artillery is actually a bronze cannon cast during the Hongwu period of the previous dynasty."

    "This kind of artillery is bulky and huge, with a slow rate of fire, short range, and pitifully small power. When it comes to the battlefield in the future, it will suffer a big loss. Generals like Ma Bao and Gao Dejie supported the students to build a firearms construction site in Nule Peak.  Understand this weakness." Fatty Lu said confidently: "But it doesn't matter, based on the students' understanding of Western culture, as long as they are given enough manpower and a year or two, the students will definitely be able to cast the most advanced in the world for the prince.  Artillery can solve future difficult problems in one fell swoop, and it will not suffer any disadvantages if it is fired against the artillery of the Tartars on the battlefield."

    "That's right, if you can really do this, it will solve the big problem that we suffer from artillery, and it will also give the prince a lot of confidence." Liu Xuanchu nodded, and asked again: "Then how do you deal with the court?"  What are you going to do?"

    "Of course it's hypocrisy." Fatty Lu smiled, and said, "The student has already reported it to his mentor in secret before. The emperor actually appreciates the student and wants to keep the student by his side for reuse, but under the student's own  At the request, the emperor of the Tartars still released the students back to Qujing, in order to use the students to monitor the prince's movements, and gave the students the right to play secret records directly.  In the hands of his confidant Suo'etu, Suo'etu will give it directly to him or the old witch, the Empress Dowager."

    "Under such circumstances, students can't do business without secretly contacting the emperor of the Tatars. Therefore, the students plan to adopt a method of avoiding the important ones. While advocating the loyalty of the prince to the emperor of the Tartars, they will properly report some information about the transfer of troops and the promotion of generals.  It has nothing to do with the importance of taxation and income. At critical moments, you can also throw some news that the Tartar Emperor likes to him, so as not to make him suspicious of the students." Fatty Lu finished speaking plausibly, and added: "But  Students have to ask their mentors for one thing, if a student has made political achievements in Qujing, and the prince wants to promote the student and transfer him, the student is either afraid of others picking peaches, or he is afraid that the great things he has done in Qujing will be wasted."

    "Of course, once the Nule Peak firearms construction site is successfully completed, of course I will not let you be transferred, and the prince is not that stupid." Liu Xuanchu nodded, and then said seriously: "But you plan to make false claims with the Tartar court.  point, wrong, and still a big mistakeDoes the wife buy time?  "

    ?Insufficient information, no matter how clever Lu Fatty was, and no matter how rich Lin Tianqing's official experience was, there was no way to analyze the reason why Bian Sanyuan suddenly helped Li Suzu so much.  In desperation, Lin Tianqing had no choice but to ask: "Yifeng, it seems that this matter is destined to go to the court, we can't sit still, the old man has already prepared a memorial to impeach Li Suzu for slandering his superiors, you have to write a memorial immediately  , explain the whole story, and send it directly to the emperor through your channel, only if the emperor is on our side, the backing behind Li Suzu will not be able to turn the tide."

    "Of course, my nephew returned to the Pingxi Palace, and immediately asked the master to draft a memorial and hand it to the emperor." Fatty Lu said confidently: "Uncle Lin, don't worry, Li Suzu's family has long since passed away.  The so-called backer, Prince Kang, has no real power, as long as uncle and nephew come up with a memorial together, it is guaranteed that Li Suzu will die even worse!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Fatty Lu was a little too confident, and he really underestimated Li Shizu's energy. When his memorial and Lin Tianqing's memorial were sent to the capital, Li Shizu's second memorial revised under the guidance of Zhou Peigong had also been sent to the capital at the same time.  Li Suzu's wife, Ren Zeyu, delivered it directly to Jieshu, Prince Qingkang, and cried to Jieshu how Fatty Lu was domineering and perverse in Qujing, and asked Jieshu for help  activities, and severely punished Fatty Lu, a rebellious and unscrupulous person who has no king, father, and boss.

    Although Li Shizu raised his son for several years in vain, and Jie Shu never put Fatty Lu in his eyes, but this time Li Shizu even bit Lin Tianqing, knowing that Lin Tianqing has deep connections in the court  Jie Shu still wanted to retreat a little bit, and there were a lot of excuses in his words, not wanting to get involved in this case.  But at this moment, Jieshu suddenly noticed this sentence in Li Suzu's memorial - after Lu Yifeng returned to Yunnan, he often boasted to others, saying that the current situation is the opposite of its own, playing with the applause, despising the king  The meaning is beyond words.  Such a rebellious offender, if not punished, may tarnish the holy prestige!

    "Yu'er, after Lu Yifeng returned to Yunnan, did he really brag to people everywhere, saying that the emperor fell into his tricks?" Jie Shu pointed to the text and asked Ren Zeyu seriously: "Tell the truth, no lies!"

    "I've said it, I've said it." Ren Zeyu, who was almost desperate, saw the turning point, and hurriedly said: "My daughter dare not lie. After that Fatty Lu arrived in Yunnan, he bragged to people every day. How could the emperor be fooled by him?  I got dizzy, and said countless disrespectful words to the emperor, and to your godfather. Godfather, you must make the decision for your daughter."

    In fact, in terms of age alone, Ren Zeyu is seven years older than Jieshu¡ªbut, isn¡¯t Jieshu senior?  So Ren Zeyu not only called each other godfather affectionately, but also pulled out the cheap son Li Suzu gave Jieshu to raise, knelt in front of Jieshu, cried, made trouble, and hanged himself, begging Jieshu to come forward to clean up Fatty Lu.  After careful calculation for a long time, Jie Shu finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll send this memorandum directly to the emperor for you. If Fatty Lu really cheated the emperor in discussing the salary, then you can just wait and see."  Let's watch a good show!"

    Logically speaking, basically none of the officials of the Qing Dynasty who provoked Fatty Lu, the number one scourge of the Qing Dynasty, would not be unlucky.  Almost everything Fatty Lu expected in advance.  Then was Fatty Lu killed and caught off guard?  Or is it that our poor Lord Jieshu followed in the footsteps of his predecessors, was illuminated by Fatty Lu's auspicious halo, regretted his green intestines and moldy his pants?

    (ps: Please ask for a monthly ticket for the update of the 7,000-word chapter, and ask for a recommendation ticket.)

    After making up his mind to get rid of his political enemies for his son-in-law, Jie Shu left Prince Kang's mansion with Li Suzu's second memorial that afternoon, and went all the way to Donghua Gate to hand out a sign to see him.  It was also a coincidence that the guard standing outside the Donghua Gate today happened to be Li Xu, one of Xiao Mazi's confidantes, who was very familiar with Jie Shu, so as soon as Jie Shu stood in front of the Donghua Gate, Li Xu came over immediately  Daqian said flatteringly: "Slave Li Xu, send greetings to Prince Kang, the prince is auspicious."

    "Li Xu? Please hurry up, there is no need to be so polite." Jieshu knew that Li Xu was Xiao Mazi's confidant, so he didn't dare to put on airs, so he quickly helped Li Xu himself, and asked curiously: "My lord, if I remember correctly  , you seem to have been on duty at the Hall of Mental Cultivation and the Palace of Qianqing, right? Why did you get transferred to Donghuamen?"

    "My lord, don't mention it." It's good that Jie Shu didn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned it, tears flickered in Li Xu's eyes, and he said with a mournful face: "I don't know that god damn villain is jealous and jealous that the slave is favored by the emperor.  , just spread a rumor that the slave set up a spirit memorial ceremony for the slave's grandfather in the background, and this word somehow reached the ears of Lord Gabraga, the minister of the chief guard, and it happened that the guard shift in the palace was adjusted, and the slave was adjusted to the east.  Huamen is here."

    "It's a good thing that you set up a memorial ceremony for your grandfather? What's the matter?" Jie Shu was confused.

    "My lord doesn't know something, but this servant's grandfather is not very up-to-date." Li Xu was a little twitchy, but he still blushed and said honestly: "My surname is Jiang, my ancestral home is Changyi, Shandong, and my grandfather's name is Jiang Yan.  In the seventh year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty (1642), the Qing soldiers besieged Changyi. The grandfather of the slave not only did not follow the heavens to welcome the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty into the city, but led the whole family to help Changyi County Magistrate Li Cuixiu defend the city.  The eight-day confrontation killed many soldiers of our Qing Dynasty, and they deserve death!"

    Speaking of this, Li Xu was even more coy, "After the city was broken, the slave's grandfather still refused to surrender, and committed suicide by burning himself to death. One of the slave's uncles and three uncles were also obsessed with obsession and vowed not to surrender. They were executed by our Qing army.  , only the slave's father surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and worshiped Li Xiquan, the leader of the Zhengbai Banner of the Qing Han Army, as his father. The whole family changed their surname to Li, and expelled the grandfather from the genealogyMy lord, now you should understand why my lord is doing this  Do you care about the slave setting up a spiritual sacrifice for the grandfather? But the slave is indeed wronged, the slave hates the grandfather who has acted against the sky, how can he offer incense and kneel down to him?"

    "So that's how it is." Jie Shu laughed dumbfounded, and said, "This Kabula is really, his ancestors were disgraceful, he didn't know the current affairs and acted against the heavens, what does it matter to future generations? According to his conviction, the court should be punished."  How many officials can there be? Forget it, let¡¯s not talk about this matter, Li Shiwei, please pass the sign to the king, the king has an urgent matter to enter the palace, and tomorrow the king will have the opportunity to see Kabula and call for grievances on your behalf.  "

    "Thank you, my lord, that's really the case. My lord, you are the slave's reborn parents." Li Xu was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed¡ªworking in the Donghua Gate, which is far away from Xiao Mazi, is not only far less prestigious than working in the Hall of Mental Cultivation and the Palace of Qianqing.  The chances of going outside are even more pitifully slim.

    After kowtowing, Li Xu took Jieshu's badge and was about to enter the palace. He never thought that another official would come over quickly from a distance, and shouted from a distance: "Guard Li is waiting, and I have to hand over the badge to enter the palace, please.  By the way, bring my signboard." Li Xu and Jie Shu looked back together, only to see that the person who came was Nala Mingzhu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice and a Bachelor of Hongwen Academy.

    "Ming Xiangye is here too." Li Xu hurriedly stopped, stepped forward to give Mingzhu a thousand salute, and raised his hands to receive Mingzhu's waist card.  On the other side, Mingzhu handed over the waist card, and greeted Jieshu, saying: "Master Kang, it's rare, you also handed the card to enter the palace? Today, the reason why you came to the palace is not for your adopted sons Li Suzu and Lu.  Is it about Yifeng impeaching each other?"

    "How did Ming Zhongtang know?" Jie Shu asked in surprise.

    "Sure enough, I guessed it right." Mingzhu said helplessly: "In the past few days, the General Secretary has received several memorials on this matter. Li led his ancestors to impeach Lin Tianqing and Lu Yifeng, and Lu Yifeng again  He joined forces with Lin Tianqing to impeach Li Suizu, but Bian Sanyuan made excuses to shirk and did not dare to join in. The officials of Zhengbaiqi added fuel to the fire and helped Li Suizu impeach Lin Tianqing and Lu Yifeng. The fight was very close. I know Li Suizu is your adopted son  , seeing that you will enter the palace now, I guessed that it is rare for you to enter the palace this time, and nine out of ten it is because of this."

    "Lu Yifeng?" Evil comes with evil. Hearing this disgusting name, Li Xu, one of the victims, immediately pricked up his ears, and his heart was filled with anger¡ªif it wasn't for what Fatty Lu said in the restaurant  What nonsense, can I, who has won Xiao Mazi's favor, be overthrown by others?  How dare Kabula casually transfer himself from the Hall of Mental Cultivation and come to Donghuamen to do errands?

    "Mingxiang really deserves to have three eyes. Seeing things and knowing them is really powerful.Nai He agreed, kowtowed honestly and left.

    Jieshu withdrew, and Mingzhu finally appeared on the stage. After entering the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Mingzhu saw Xiao Mazi reading Li Suzu's second memorial carefully at the first sight.  did not hear.  Mingzhu was very curious, and hurriedly asked Suo'etu for the reason, but Suo'etu hadn't started fighting Mingzhu to the death. After hesitating for a while, Suo'etu still whispered what happened just now  Again, he asked again: "Ming Zhongtang, you are the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and have rich experience in handling cases. How reliable do you think Li Suzu's memorial is?"

    "Unable to judge." Mingzhu shook her head, and replied in a low voice: "Li Suzu and Lu Yifeng are both reported, and neither has produced key evidence.  Who of them lied."

    "In your opinion, should Bian Sanyuan be ordered to conduct a detailed investigation? Or should the imperial envoy be sent to Yunnan for a detailed investigation?" Xiao Mazi asked suddenly.

    "Master heard it?" Mingzhu was a little embarrassed, and quickly replied: "Back to the emperor, the slave thinks that it is better to send a reliable imperial envoy to Yunnan for a detailed investigation. Because the emperor also knows that Bian Sanyuan is from Wu Sangui.  He has also known Li Shizu for many years, and has friendship with both sides. This time he took the initiative to ask to avoid suspicion, which is enough to prove that he has not dared to get involved in this matter. If he is ordered to investigate this case, I am afraid that he will submit a report  , it will only be the result of the pressure from Prince Pingxi¡¯s mansion or the pressure from Prince Kang and Zhengbaiqi, and will not be the truth of the matter.¡±

    "That makes sense." Xiao Mazi nodded, and asked again: "In your opinion, who should be appointed as the imperial envoy?"

    "This one is more difficult to find." Mingzhu said mournfully: "If the master must know the truth of the matter, then this person must have rich experience in handling cases and be fearless, neither afraid of the pressure of the Pingxi Palace, nor  The pressure exerted by Lord Kang and Zhengbaiqi¡ªto put it bluntly, this person must be a stunned young man who is invulnerable to fire and water, and oil and salt, but he must not be too stupid to avoid being confused by illusions"

    Speaking of this, Mingzhu suddenly had an idea, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, this servant recommends someone who will definitely take on this important task and will not be influenced by any external pressure. Break through the fog and find out the truth."

    "Master, this slave also thinks of someone." Suo'etu also came to his senses, kowtowed and said, "I can guarantee that sending this person to investigate this case will neither wrong Zhongliang nor cover up Lu Yifeng and Li Shi  Any one of them!"

    "Oh, who are you recommending?" Xiao Mazi asked curiously, then Xiao Mazi slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "I see, you two slaves actually recommended the same person! Send him to be the imperial envoy  , I am also relieved!"

 Chapter 93 The Mysterious Imperial Envoy

    ?

    Hearing the news that Xiao Mazi decided to send an imperial envoy to the south to investigate the fight between Li Suzu, the prefect of Qujing, and Lu Yifeng, the prefect of Qujing County, Li Xu, who had been expelled from the Hall of Mental Cultivation and sent to Donghuamen as an errand, was overjoyed.  Ignoring a bite to eat, I hurried home and changed a set of clothes, rode a fast horse, and rushed all the way to the Prince Kang¡¯s Mansion in Dajiangfang Hutong in Xizhimen to announce the good news¡ªby the way, I suggested that Jie Shu and Li Shi  Zu is ready to see what kind of good plan he can arrange so that he can send that damned Lu Sanhao to the guillotine, ransack his family and exterminate his family to punish the nine clans.

    When they arrived at Prince Kang¡¯s mansion, they put in the gate and handed over the name badge. Not long after, the servants of the palace came out to say that the prince had summoned him. Li Xu was overjoyed, and quickly followed his servants into Prince Kang¡¯s mansion, all the way through the middle gate to get to the palace  In the back garden, I saw Jie Shu was listening to a show and drinking wine with a graceful and beautiful young woman. A man and a woman sat side by side, very close to each other. The beautiful young woman almost completely stuck to Jie Shu's body, chatting and laughing happily with Jie Shu  , didn't sit up straight until Li Xu approached, putting on a dignified appearance.

    "Guard Li, why are you so free today, and you came here specifically to ask to see me?" Seeing Li Xu coming in in plain clothes, Jie Shu, who was already drunk, knew that it must not be business, so he didn't bother to get up, and just waved and laughed  Said: "Come here and sit down, and have a few drinks with me."

    "Thank you, my lord, but wait for a while to drink with my lord, this slave has to congratulate my lord first." Li Xu's face was full of flattery, and he suddenly knelt down on one knee to Jieshu, cupped his fists and said, "My slave congratulates my lord, congratulates my lord, this slave just now  Hearing the news, the emperor has decided to send an imperial envoy to the south to investigate the case of mutual criticism between Li Suzu and Lu Yifeng!"

    "So fast?" The beautiful young woman's eyes lit up, and her face was full of joy.

    "Oh, so fast?" Jie Shu also beamed with joy, and said, "My king just handed the book into the palace the day before yesterday, and the emperor decided to send an imperial envoy to investigate Lu Yifeng today? Who is this imperial envoy?"

    "Who is this imperial envoy?" Li Xu froze, then remembered that he was so happy to hear that Fatty Lu was going to be unlucky, and even forgot to ask who Xiao Mazi sent to investigate this case.  In desperation, Li Xu had no choice but to answer truthfully: "My lord, I'm so confused, I forgot to ask who the emperor sent to be in charge of investigating this case."

    "Confused." Jie Shu's face sank, and he scolded: "Why don't you even find out who is appointed as the imperial envoy? This is a key candidate. How will the emperor handle this case?  They are closely related, and the key to success or failure is basically on him alone, you don't understand that?"

    "The servant is confused. The servant has already been transferred from the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The servant was not present when the emperor issued the decree. The news came from Cao Yin, so he forgot to ask who was appointed as the imperial envoy."  Li Xu replied dejectedly: "The servant must find out who this imperial envoy is as soon as possible, and report to the prince when he comes back."

    "My lord, this is a big matter, can I trouble you to inquire now?" Ren Zeyu didn't dare to put on airs like Jie Shu to reprimand others, but just slowed down, cast a wink at Li Xu, and begged: "This matter  If the imperial envoy leaves the capital, it will be inconvenient to say a lot to him in advance."

    "This lady is?" Li Xu asked tentatively.

    "The slave family is the wife of Li Suizu, named Ren Zeyu." The beautiful young woman smiled and replied: "Prince Kang is the godfather of the slave family."

    "It turned out that my aunt arrived, and my nephew Li Xu was rude." Li Xu quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted, explaining to Ren Zeyu who was full of doubts: "My aunt probably doesn't know.  The general's daughter, the aunt of the grandnephew, is married to Li Jian, the son of Li Xianzu's cousin Li Xianzu, so in terms of seniority, my nephew should call you aunt."

    "So we are still relatives." Surprised and delighted, Ren Zeyu hurriedly got up and helped Li Xu himself, saying that this grandnephew is a good one hundred times better than Fatty Lu's distant nephew.

    "Okay, we Banner people are already close to each other, and we can even get a little bit of kinship. The seniority is not clear at all, so there is no need to be so polite." Jie Shu urged impatiently: "If you want to reminisce about the old days, wait a while.  Wait, first send the imperial envoy to find out, so we can do things tonight. Otherwise, the imperial envoy will usually leave the capital the next day after receiving the envoy, and it will be too late to say anything."

    Li Xu had no choice but to agree, so he had to leave Kang Wang's mansion in a hurry, rode a fast horse and rushed to the Forbidden City to find his friend Cao Yin to inquire about news.  Fortunately, Cao Yin has already been off duty and can move freely, so Li Xu found him easily, but when Li Xu asked about the imperial envoy, Cao Yin shook his head and said: "Brother Li Xu, I am very sorry,  I don't know who to send as the imperial envoy."??Wu Yingxiong stays for dinner, but Jie Shu and Wu Yingxiong, who have their own ghosts, can still eat there. Naturally, they decline Mingzhu's warm invitation to stay, and they bid farewell to their respective homes.  After Wu Yingxiong returned home, of course he wrote the situation into a letter overnight and sent it to Yunnan in an expedited six hundred miles, warning his father Wu Sangui and Fatty Lu to be prepared and guard against the tricks of this mysterious imperial envoy.  After Jieshu returned to the mansion, he also asked his master to prepare paper and pens, but Jieshu didn't write a letter to Li Suzu to tell him to get ready, but asked his master to write a memorial for him, and asked him to go out of Beijing¡ªto visit his relatives in Yunnan!

    After impulsively handing in the memorial to the palace, Jie Shu soon regretted it, feeling that he was too clear-cut, and it was unlikely that Xiao Mazi would let him go to Yunnan.  After half an hour, Xiao Mazi decreed and gave a reply - he was allowed to go to Yunnan!

    "Hmph, want to go to Yunnan to help your godson to put pressure on the imperial envoy? Dreaming! I can't even deal with that guy, let alone you!" Xiao Mazi thought so, "But you can go to Yunnan and Guizhou voluntarily.  Okay, heh, Yunnan and Guizhou are notoriously poor and poor. I sent you there because I was afraid that you would be angry and unwilling. Now that you go voluntarily, I certainly wish for it. One is to let you see the real situation in Yunnan and Guizhou, and come back to tell me  Report, let me have another channel to understand the situation in Yunnan and Guizhou. Second, let you familiarize yourself with the mountains and rivers of Yunnan and Guizhou, customs and customs, and get in touch with civil and military officials in Yunnan and Guizhou. Maybe it will be of great use in the future.¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Our poor Prince Kang was not the only one who took the initiative to send Lu Fatty auspiciously to his door. Relying on the top-secret and efficient channels of the Thirteen Yamen, Kong Sizhen in Guangxi knew the news that Xiao Mazi sent an imperial envoy to Yunnan to investigate the case a few days earlier than Wu Sangui.  But it is a pity that Kong Sizhen's intelligence force is also unable to find out who this mysterious imperial envoy is.

    So after receiving this news, Kong Sizhen was inevitably both happy and worried. Of course, he was happy that his plan with Zhou Peigong finally worked. Xiao Mazi finally became suspicious of Fatty Lu and sent an imperial envoy to Wu Sangui's base camp to investigate Fatty Lu.  As long as I give Li Suzu some pointers and suggestions, there is great hope for killing Fatty Lu, a disaster star who extremely ignores his beauty.

    In addition, what Kong Sizhen was worried about was the position and character of the imperial envoy¡ªin case this bastard was bought by Wu Sangui and Fatty Lu, or if this guy was too firm and was deceived by Fatty Lu's hypocrisy of loyalty to the emperor and love for Qing,  Seeing Li Suzu's numerous crimes in Qujing, reporting the truth to the court and demanding that Li Suzu be brought to justice, then not only Li Suzu is doomed, but Kong Sizhen himself may be involved again.

    "No, I have to go to Qujing in person to sit in town!" Kong Sizhen finally made up his mind after repeated calculations and weighing, "I have come to Qujing in person, not only can I instruct Li Suzu to deal with Lu Fatty according to the situation, but also find that bastard imperial envoy in the first place."  , Pull him to my mother's side! Hmph, I don't believe it anymore, besides Lu Yifeng, that blind, fat man, who else in the world would not obediently bow down to my mother's pomegranate skirt?!"

 Chapter 94: Grand Opening

    ?

    (ps: If you don¡¯t ask for a monthly ticket for a day, you will be raped again and again on the monthly ticket list, so it¡¯s a wordy sentence, ask for a monthly ticket!)

    The warm and pleasant spring has passed unknowingly, and the scorching hot summer has crawled over. After a few thunderstorms, flowers as bright as flames are blooming in the fields of Qujing  Come, graceful and charming, fluttering in the wind, exuding a mysterious and intoxicating fragrance, embellishing the land of Qujing with colorful colors more than two hundred years in advance.  A few days later, the bright red flowers gradually climbed all over the mountains and plains, forming a sea of ??flowers, which became more and more splendid and spectacular.

    Not only the evil flowers that appeared on the land of Qujing in advance, but also corn, peppers, pumpkins, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., which were recently introduced to the Central Plains.  , Fortunately, with the population flow and cultural exchanges over the years, a small number of people in Qujing have come into contact with or seen these crops, and I heard that these new crops do not occupy mature fields and good land.  The world can also be planted, so I tried more or less to plant some, and the resistance and doubts were far less than that kind of evil flowers.

    In this way, the prosperous age of sweet potatoes or the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong advocated by later generations, also instigated by the wings of Fatty Lu, appeared in the land of Yunnan in advance.

    Of course, Rome can't be built in a day, and seeds can't take root, germinate, blossom and bear fruit in a day. During this long period of time, Fatty Lu not only has to spare time and energy to deal with his opponent Li Suzu, but also has to bear the pressure from the people.  their worried questions.  It is precisely because of this that Li Suzu, who was hated by the poor people, had a little time and opportunity to struggle.

    In early April of the seventh year of Kang Mazi, Fatty Lu, who had just returned to Qujing after getting married in Kunming, encountered a major test.  , deliberately instigated the Yi people in Zhanyi to occupy the land of the Han people in Qujing, and a dispute broke out between the two sides. A son (slave) of Anmin Chieftain died mysteriously in the fight, which caused An Shiji to lead Campfire (a semi-militarized Yi people under the control of the chieftain)  Armed organization) came to Qujing City and asked Fatty Lu to hand over the murderer, otherwise he would go into Qujing City to find the murderer himself.

    ? To change to another county magistrate, he would have been paralyzed by fright when he encountered such a scene.  But what Li Shizu and An Shiji could not have imagined in their dreams was that less than half an hour after An Shiji's men rushed to the city of Qujing, Wu Sangui Youzhen's army rushed to the scene under the leadership of Yunnan Deputy General Wang Jing, and quickly rushed to the scene.  The order was maintained, and at the same time, Fatty Lu also sent Li Tianzhi and Fang Shiyu to capture two servants from Li Shizu's mansion, escort them out of the city and hand them over to An Shiji, insisting that these two bastards killed An Shiji's son  , and have to go through the formalities with An Shiji, and hand over the two murderers to An Shiji for disposal.

    Disgusting Fatty Lu turned into disgusting Li Suzu, of course An Shiji quit, and refused to admit that these two servants of Li Suzu were murderers, but at this moment, An Shiji's father and son  The mother's younger brother, An Shixian, stood up and brought a group of children to testify. He insisted that the two servants were the real murderers, and also brought out Zhanyi Yi people to testify, proving that the two servants were present at the time.  Suspected of committing the crime¡ªBy the way, An Shiji's younger brothers, Monk Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong, both have a common hobby, that is, they like to fight against their elder brothers, and they dream of taking down their elder brothers and replacing them.

    Moreover, in history, because of this bad temper, An Shixian was also imprisoned in blood by An Shiji after he inherited the position of chieftain (locked up bloody)!

    Of course, history is history. Under the influence of Fatty Lu's wings, An Shiji was really caught off guard by his younger brother this time. In his rage, An Shiji almost wanted to tear An Shixian apart  He had a heart, but what caught An Shiji off guard was still behind. In the chaos, An Shiji suddenly discovered that the real murderer who killed the child¡ªand also An Shiji's confidant, had mysteriously disappeared!  At the same time, Wang Jing also came forward to say hello, and asked An Shiji with a smile if he wanted to continue making things worse, if he wanted to ask the Pingxi Palace to investigate, and if he wanted to invite An Shiji's father, the current chieftain, Anmin, to assist in the investigation?

    Asking with a smile, Wang Jing also quietly showed An Shiji a belt card¡ªthe belt card of An Shiji's confidant who was ordered to kill someone. The sweat on An Shiji's forehead also flowed down all of a sudden¡ª¡ªMonk Wu Sangui  Kexi, Geng Jimao, and Kong Youde are different. They do not engage in massacres against the Han people, but they have always been deadly in dealing with the chieftains. Four years ago, the chieftain Wang Yaozu of eastern Yunnan took advantage of Wu Sangui's campaign against Shuixi to rebel and once threatened Kunming.  Wu Sangui quickly returned to the teacher, but he killed Wang Yaozu's entire family!  The big and small chieftains who followed Wang Yaozu's rebellion were not spared, and every family was killed by Wu Sangui to the point of bloodshed.?The gatekeeper at Tianyuping Pass didn¡¯t know a single character, but the seal on the battlement for customs clearance was very large, and it was a very noble cinnabar seal. It obviously didn¡¯t look like a guide for customs clearance issued by the local government. It seemed to have extraordinary origins.  The sentry officer quickly saluted and asked respectfully: "My lord, don't blame me, I can't read, may I ask your name, where are you from? Where are you going?"

    "My name is Yu Chenglong, a member of the Han army with a yellow banner." The middle-aged man smiled and replied: "I came from the capital and went to Yunnan to do some business."

    "Yu Chenglong? I seem to have heard of this name somewhere?" The sentry officer scratched his head, and suddenly exclaimed: "Yu Chenglong? My lord, are you the famous and upright official Yu Chenglong Yu Qingtian?"

    "Master Jun misunderstood." The middle-aged man smiled and said: "The one who is located in Mr. Jackie Chan Yu is my brother of the same clan. He is now the magistrate of Hezhou, Sichuan.

    (ps: Ghost Festival, I have something to do at home, so the number of words is less, please forgive me.)

    ?Unintentionally or unintentionally spread by some people, the news that the imperial court sent imperial envoys to Qujing to investigate and deal with the mutual criticism between Fatty Lu and Li Suzu finally spread inside and outside Qujing City and Qujing Mansion.

    Hearing this news, the poor people who had been poisoned by Li Shizu were ecstatic, running and cheering, because since Li Shizu took office as the prefect of Qujing during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, countless Qujing people have been pitted into motherless children in the Coptis chinensis field  ¡ª¡ªIt¡¯s hard to come home, but no matter how the poor people pray to God and worship Buddha, and sue from top to bottom, Li Suizu is as stable as Mount Tai, and he can¡¯t be pulled down or shaken.  He doesn't have a single cold or cold, and he has a very bad conscience but a good body. The hope of the common people that he will go to heaven early and go to hell is far away.

    Maybe God finally saw the hard life of the people in Qujing, and the hope of the poor people came.  Weird things, but it is quite good for the common people. Not only are the officials of the Qujing County Yamen not allowed to bully the people, but also the people in the Zhifu Yamen who are directly above him are not allowed to bully and kill the people.  The yamen servants beat them all over the place, without arrogance, and did not dare to treat the common people so viciously.

    In addition, Xinxian Taiye¡¯s fire consumption is extremely low, which is almost equivalent to confiscation, and there is no need to pay money when he goes to his yamen to file a complaint, especially Ren Xinglai, the brother-in-law who arrested Qujing local tyrant Li Shizu just after he took office.  Let the common people and merchants in Qujing clap their hands and cheer, and call God to open their eyes.  But now, and now, the imperial court, which was out of reach in the past, finally noticed Qujing, and finally discovered some of the crimes of Li Suzu, the local tyrant of Qujing, and sent the imperial envoy who was law-enforced like a mountain and as clean as water in the drama to investigate Li Suzu.  Can the people of Qujing not applaud?  Looking forward to Li Suzu being brought to justice as soon as possible?

    Unlike the poor people who have been brainwashed by opera and storytelling, people in Qujing and Yunnan official circles dare not bet casually, so they believe that Li Suzu will definitely lose, because they know very well that the backing behind Li Suzu is too strong  , Prince Kang, the emperor's cousin, the Li family of Tieling, and countless officials of Zhengbai Banner, plus their respective backers and friends, what a huge force it is together?  Wu Sangui is considered to be a high-ranking official, and Li Shizu made him look ashamed, and he still can't do anything to him, let alone Fatty Lu, a seventh-rank sesame official who has just stepped into his official career?

    There are people who hate Li Suzu, so naturally there are people who like Li Suzu. Li Suzu has been operating in Qujing for many years, and he has formed a community of interests with countless Yunnan officials.  Being brought down by Fatty Lu, it was only because he was afraid of Wu Sangui and Lin Tianqing who were behind Fatty Lu a few days ago, that's why he didn't dare to jump out and join forces with Li Shizu to deal with Fatty Lu.  But now, the arrival of the imperial envoy also made these people see hope, thinking that as long as the imperial envoy can frighten Wu Sangui and Lin Tianqing away, we will immediately rush forward together, and swallow the official two hundred and five of Fatty Lu alive, not only saving us  With the common interests of Li Suzu, he sold another huge favor to Li Suzu, killing two birds with one stone.

    The already complicated situation became more complicated because of a piece of news, which also added an important weight to Li Suzu's side-this news, of course, was the news that Prince Kang Jieshu had visited his son-in-law in Yunnan province.  The common people are out of information and don't understand what the news means, but the officials, large and small, in the official circles of Yunnan and Guizhou know it well, knowing that this time Jie Shu rolled up his sleeves and went to the battle in person to cheer for his son-in-law, Lu  Behind the fat man, Wu Sangui's advantage as a local snake will be offset by more than half, and the imperial envoy who also came from the capital may find it difficult to uphold justice for Lu Fatty.  After Fatty Lu, the person involved, heard the news, he was so worried that he didn't fall asleep all night, knowing that things must be more troublesome and complicated.

    "Young master, this is a letter sent by Lin Zhongcheng just now. The person who came is riding a fast horse of six hundred miles. It must be urgent."

    Xiao Erlang ran into Fatty Lu's study room and held a letter in front of Fatty Lu with both hands. Fatty Lu didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly took the letter and opened it, only to find that the letter was written by Lin Tianqing himself, and the content was to issue a warning to Fatty Lu, directly pointing out that  Jieshu¡¯s trip to Yunnan Province this time is an excuse, but in fact it must be because of the fight between Li Suzu and Lu Fatty. The purpose is to deter the Pingxi Palace behind Fatty Lu and Lin Tianqing himself. It cannot be ruled out that Jieshu uses the prince¡¯s status.  Coercing the imperial envoy and forcing the imperial envoy to make a decision in favor of Li Suzu, Fatty Lu must be careful.

    ?Besides, Lin Tianqing also pointed out a bright way for Fatty Lu, suggesting that Fatty Lu beat Li Suzu with a time difference, and took advantage of the opportunity of the imperial envoy to go to Yunnan from Jian by light car, and grab Jie Shu.??.  If this step is successful, we can buy him in and let him make a decision that is beneficial to us; if we retreat, we can buy time, and when Lord Kang's team arrives in Qujing, we will have a better chance of winning.

    "In a word, the longer the time is delayed, the better." Zhou Peigong's voice became more and more gloomy, "the longer the delay, the better for us! As long as it can be delayed until Lord Kang arrives in Qujing and cheers for Mr. Li, then a young man like Jackie Chan  People who enter the official career, even if they are full of ambitions and are dissatisfied with Master Li's actions in Qujing, they still have to weigh the consequences of offending Lord Kang.

 Chapter 96 The Imperial Envoy Arrives

    ?

    (ps: The results of the monthly pass are dismal, so I begged for the monthly pass at 360 degrees.)

    Shengjing Pass is a very magical pass. There are two pairs of stone lions under the pass name archway. The stone lions on the Yunnan side are covered with dry and thin soil for many years, while the Guizhou side is covered with lush moss.  However, there is a clear distinction between three feet, and at the foot of the stone lion, there is a more distinct soil boundary formed naturally. The red soil on the Yunnan side, and the brown soil on the Guizhou side, cross mountains and rivers like a line.  The creek, stretching for hundreds of miles, neatly separates Guizhou and Yunnan provinces

    The above passage seems to have been plagiarized from there, but the original author will certainly not pursue it, let alone sue, so we will pretend that there is no plagiarism.

    In June, the baby¡¯s face changed as soon as it was said, the sky was still clear in the morning, but at noon, the sky at Shengjingguan was suddenly covered with dark clouds, the new wind picked up, and it was about to rain, and the pedestrians on the road were running around in shock.  Find shelter from the rain.  But under the Shengjingguan archway, there is such a large group of people who are completely motionless¡ªin fact, they dare not move because they want to, because right under the parasol in front of them, there are a lot of Qujing civil and military officials standing and sitting.  There were Li Xingyuan, the procuratorate of Yunnan Province, and Li Xingyuan, the charming and upright Daqing Gege Kong Sizhen, two big figures present. Without them speaking and nodding, who would dare to mess around?

    "Si Gege, why hasn't the imperial envoy come yet? It's almost raining." Looking at the sky, Li Xingyuan, who was invited by Kong Sizhen and Li Shizu to beat the drums to cheer, was a little worried. He turned to Kong Sizhen beside him and asked:  "Si Gege, are you sure that the imperial envoy will come to Shengjing Pass today? Will the wait be in vain?"

    "Absolutely, Yu Chenglong stayed at Yizi Kongyi in Pu'an Hall (now Pan County) last night, and set off for Shengjingguan this morning." Kong Sizhen nodded for confirmation, and said: "Calculate the distance  , he will definitely be able to reach Shengjing Pass at noon today, no matter how patiently he waits, if it is going to rain, he will definitely speed up his journey."

    Li Xingyuan had no choice but to wait patiently, but after waiting left and right, no imperial envoys appeared on the mountain road at the foot of Shengjingguan Mountain, but the dark clouds in the sky were getting denser and denser, and the sound of the wind had already caught a little bit  Rain.  As a result, Kong Sizhen under the parasol couldn't sit still, thinking that the parasol above his head would be useless after the heavy rain, and Kong Sizhen, who didn't want to be drenched, had no choice but to stand up and say:  "Let's go into the guard barracks temporarily to hide from the rain, and come out when the rain stops."

    "Cover." All the officials happily agreed, rushing to the barracks to shelter from the rain, but Zhou Peigong suggested to Kong Sizhen: "Si Gege, we can go in to shelter from the rain, and these people pretending to be children, soldiers and servants don't have to move."  It¡¯s better to let them soak in the rain before complaining in front of the imperial envoy.¡±

    Anyway, Kong Sizhen didn't want to get himself in the rain. Of course, Kong Sizhen readily agreed to such a good suggestion. At that moment, Kong Sizhen called Li Suzu, Di Sanpin, An Shiji and others, and asked them to order their children, soldiers, and servants to continue to wait.  , Do not scatter to shelter from the rain.  Li Shizu and others obeyed the order, pretending to be children of Qujing people, servants and green battalion soldiers, all of them cursed in their hearts, but they dared not disobey the order, so they had to watch Kong Sizhen, Li Shizu and other important figures enter the closed room to avoid the rain, and  They stayed where they were and waited out the rain.

    When the thunder exploded and the raindrops the size of broad beans began to fall, a beggar who had been hiding in the shade of a tree by the roadside to enjoy the shade ran out from behind the team of fake people, and asked the fake people with unkempt hair, "Gentlemen, why are you still doing this?"  Don't hide from the rain? It's going to rain heavily, why are you still standing there?"

    "Hide the ball! Didn't you see the men doing business here?" A servant pretending to be a commoner growled angrily, "Get out of here, you stinking beggar, don't be an eyesore here!"

    "Business?" The middle-aged beggar seemed to have realized something, and was about to walk away to find a place to shelter from the rain.  Never thought that another strong man with a face full of flesh but wearing tattered animal skins would come out of the team, beckoning and calling: "Beggars, stop, do you want to earn ten cents?"

    "Earn ten pennies?" The beggar was startled for a moment, and then he looked happy, and hurriedly said: "Think, think, my lord, what do you want beggars to do?"

    "I don't want you to do anything, I'll take advantage of you." The burly man said: "You just stand here, and a high-ranking official will come, and if others kneel, you should kneel, and if others kowtow, you should kowtow."  , when others cry for injustice, follow suit, without saying a word, when the high official leaves, I will give you ten coins, will you do it?"

    "Okay, okay, I'll do it, of course I'll do it." The beggar happily agreed, and quickly followed the strong man into the team of fake civilians, hiding among the crowd.  At this time, the sky was thundered one after another, and the rain was pouring down.?He smiled and asked back: "Will the people trained by the iron-faced Wang Xu be so simple?"

    "You dog slave, you are really a bug in my slave's stomach!" Kong Sizhen cast a coquettish look at Zhou Peigong, and said in a low voice, "Then what do you think should be done? What is this guy planning?"

    "What's the idea? Of course it's in person, and in the back." Zhou Peigong sneered and said, "If he's acting on purpose, then he will definitely try to get in touch in private, and he will investigate the case alone without us. Deal with it  The only way for such a person is to keep an eye on him, to keep an eye on him, and to keep an eye on him, as well as the twelve followers under him, and don¡¯t relax any of them! Just hang on for a while, and wait for the prince  Now, this kind of fledgling little censor is just a loach in a small ditch¡ªit can¡¯t get over the big waves!¡±

    "Smart." Kong Sizhen smiled sweetly, and said in a low voice: "From now on, you and Li Suzu will keep an eye on Yu Chenglong every step of the way, and then gradually put pressure on him according to the plan. Other things should be done carefully."

    Zhou Peigong nodded, and looked at Kong Sizhen with a smug grin.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After a while, Yu Chenglong, Kong Sizhen, Li Shizu and others left Shengjing Pass together, and rushed to Pingyi to have a banquet and rest.  After they walked away, the fake people secretly organized by Li Shizu began to disperse and go back to their homes. The twenty or so beggars who had been temporarily organized by the brawny man found the brawny man again and asked him  He reached out to beg for wages, and the burly man was also very generous, and generously paid the previously agreed wages-five cents per person!

    "Master, isn't it ten Wen per person? Why are you only giving five Wen?" A beggar asked timidly.

    "It's ten yuan per person, but I take care of you on such a good job, shouldn't I charge you a little labor fee?" The brawny man asked back with a big face.

    "Grandpa, you just said ten cents" A little beggar begged pitifully, "We've been standing here for a long time, so you can reward us with two more and buy us something to eat."

    "Go to hell!" The brawny man kicked the little beggar away, and cursed viciously: "You poor beggars, it's your fate to earn five cents today.  In the year before last, you stinky beggars, I had to charge each of you three pennies a day in tax, and now I don¡¯t charge your tax, go have fun.¡±

    "Master, are you from the yamen?" the beggar who joined the line last asked.

    "Of course." The brawny man said triumphantly, "Don't look at me dressed like this now, but in fact, I used to be the deputy arrester of the prefect's yamen in Qujing, and I can arrest you at any time and put you in jail! How about it?  ? Are you scared?"

    "Oh, so it's the head catcher." The middle-aged beggar nodded, took away half of the deducted labor fee, pulled up the little beggar before him and walked south, and said, "Little brother, let's go, don't let the head catcher."  The master is getting angry, let's go to another place to beg for food. I'm not familiar with this place, do you know the way to Qujing?"

    "Yes, uncle, do you want to go to Qujing to beg for food? I came from Xuanwei to beg for food. I heard that there is a new good county magistrate in Qujing. Life is better. You can find something to do there and you won't die of hunger."

    (ps: Monday, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, by the way, thank you all old and new friends for your generous rewards.)

    "Am I being too hasty in the matter of Li Shizu? Before I was sure of killing him with one blow, I broke up with Li Shizu and declared war openly. Isn't it too light on the enemy and too reckless?"

    Lying face up on the beach of the Jiaoshui River Stone Bridge, looking at the tens of thousands of poor people on both sides of the official road behind, and seeing them spontaneously coming here with the old and the young, dragging their children and daughters, and waiting for the imperial envoy team under the scorching sun,  Fatty Lu was both moved and guilty.  Wiping off the oil and sweat from his forehead, and then turning his eyes to look at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, Fatty Lu began to self-examine and self-examine his own merits and demerits in the decisive battle with Li Suzu.

    It was also at this moment that Fatty Lu began to realize that in a head-to-head confrontation in the officialdom, having the hearts of the people and having evidence is not an absolute advantage. Throughout the ages and dynasties, there are only two words that can defeat the enemy in a head-to-head confrontation in the officialdom¡ª¡ª  ¡ªI like it!

    No matter how much evidence you have, no matter how much evidence you have, no matter how much people support you, and no matter how great the aspirations of the people are, as long as the people above are not willing to see your enemy lose or see your enemy die,  Defeated by you, these things are just two words - bullshit!

    It's as if a certain county erected a monument to the devils. After committing such a big public outrage, the people of the country said that the person who erected the monument should be killed, but what happened to the person who erected the monument?  Who would dare to touch a hair on him without nodding his head?

    The case of Li Suzu is also a clear proof. Li Suzu has been doing evil in Qujing and poisoning the people for so many years. Is it true that no one in Yunnan and Guizhou official circles knows?  No one wants to bring down Li Suzu?  Even if these people really don't know, and they don't want to bring down Li Suzu, then Wu Sangui, who was disgraced by Li Suzu, wouldn't want to take revenge?  But after so many years, what did the powerful Wu Sangui do to Li Suzu?  Is it because Wu Sangui is afraid to attack Li Shizu because he is afraid of being suspected of revenge, or is there someone above who doesn't want Li Shizu to fall?  An obedient, filial and loyal running dog like Li Suzu, who also shoulders the heavy responsibility of monitoring Wu Sangui's every move, is the Qing court willing to move him casually?

    Before that, Fatty Lu was not without scruples about Li Shizu's background, but seeing the people in Qujing accusing Li Shizu of numerous crimes, and considering that he would not let go if he did not bring down Li Shizu.  Wu Sangui encouraged acquiescence behind his back, Fatty Lu became a little hotheaded, and declared war on Li Shizu before he had a firm foothold in Qujing, determined to fight this old man to the death and get rid of this hardcore traitor, tartar eyeliner, and Chinese scum  !

    Another important reason for making this decision is that Fatty Lu was dazzled by the series of victories before, and felt that he had defeated Shi Lang, Fu Honglie, Tu Hai, Yue Shenglong and Zhao Liangdong one after another.  A good general, playing with celebrities such as Xiaozhuang, Xiaomazi, Aobai, Suo'etu, Wang Xu, etc., in the palm of his hand, isn't it easy to deal with a notorious and humble official Li Suzu?  How difficult can it be?

    But until today, Fatty Lu suddenly realized that the reason why he was able to win consecutive battles in the past was entirely because he had mastered the history, knew the secrets of these celebrities and great people, and was able to pinch their seven inches, and he was hiding behind his back and stabbing him with a cold arrow.  Knives, arrows, arrows, knives, and knives hit the vital point, forcing their superiors and masters to attack them. Only by not following the official routines can they succeed again and again-but in the case of Li Suzu, he and Li Suzu  Openly fighting, head-on decisive battle, everything is done according to the routine of the officialdom, not to mention the serious lack of experience, and what fatal trick did Li Suzu get?

    Corruption?  To poison the people?  Shit!  If these crimes can bring down the enemies in the officialdom, then there will be no more officials in this world, and all of them will be dead long ago!

    It¡¯s okay to be hot-headed, but what¡¯s more terrifying is to underestimate the enemy and be careless. After Lin Tianqing just arrived in Yunnan to take office and openly expressed his partiality and protection towards Fatty Lu, Fatty Lu had already predicted that Li Suzu would do anything to make things worse in order to protect himself  And created an opportunity for backstage backers to intervene, but Fatty Lu did not seize the great opportunity of Lin Tianqing standing on his side to give Li Shizu a fatal blow, and because he was about to rush to Kunming to officially get married, he gave Li Shizu a chance to breathe  , It also gave the rivals Kong Sizhen and Zhou Chang the opportunity to intervene, which brought endless troubles.

    The consequences of being hot-headed and underestimating the enemy are of course a painful lesson. Kong Sizhen suddenly intervened halfway to exert pressure, and immediately suppressed Bian Sanyuan, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou who was neutral and slightly biased towards his own side, so that he dared not move and did not dare to press the case.  Being dealt with in Yunnan and Guizhou also forced the important ally, the old fox Lin Tianqing, to avoid suspicion and dare not interfere in public, and even made plans to keep a pawn to protect the car.  Then Li Suzu's backer, Prince Shankang, made an unexpectedly strong appearance and put pressure on Li Suzu to stand up, which was already seriously biased towards Fatty Lu., Ask the imperial envoy, have you heard of Jinghu Zhu Ermei's name!  "

    "Master Zhu's name, of course, the imperial envoy is very popular." Zhu Fangdan smiled more and more complacently, "But the imperial envoy said that there are many female relatives in the backyard of the magistrate's yamen, so I dare not trouble the divine doctor."

    "Li Futai, it's not a joke to fabricate the orders of the imperial envoy." Fatty Lu sneered, "Master Li, don't forget that the imperial envoy is a prot¨¦g¨¦ recommended by Mr. Wang Zongxian himself. You  The method used to deal with other imperial envoy superiors may not work with him."

    "Hehe, thank you Lord Lu for your advice. I have remembered it carefully." Li Suizu grinned and said, "Whether what I conveyed is the original words of the imperial envoy? You will know when you ask in the future.  I'm too wordy with you, and I have to go back to visit the imperial envoy, so I won't send Master Lu back home."

    After all, Li Shizu turned around and left, while Fatty Lu was puzzled, "Are these really Yu Jackie Chan's original words? This guy is a well-known upright official in history, how could he be with Li Shizu and Kong Si bitch?"  People mingle? Could it be that I have been brainwashed by mite again, and being smaller than Jackie Chan is not a good thing in history at all?"

    "Oh, by the way, let me tell Lord Lu one more thing by the way." Li Suizu suddenly turned around again, and said to Fatty Lu with a fake smile: "Prince Kang just sent someone to send an official document.  Got permission from the Holy Father to visit relatives in the south, and you will arrive at Shengjing Pass in four days. At that time, officials from all over the Qujing Mansion will go to greet you, and some officials from the province will also come to greet you. You should go too when the time comes¡ªI will send someone another day  Send the official document to your yamen, and you go to Shengjingguan to meet the prince, it will not be regarded as AWOL."

    "Jie Shu Gou Tartar arrived at Shengjing Pass in four days? He came so fast! No wonder the old traitor Li Suzu is so proud!" Fatty Lu was shocked, knowing that his pressure would be even heavier this time.  But Fatty Lu did not lose, so he immediately replied loudly: "Thank you, the autumn harvest is approaching, and the lower officials want to organize the people to grab the autumn grain, dare to ask for a leave, and don't want to go to Shengjing Pass to meet the prince.  "

    "Success, I will allow you to do this." Li Suzu agreed with a smile on his face, and looked into Fatty Lu's cloudy old eyes, but the shots were full of resentment.

    "Laugh, laugh as much as you want."

    Among the crowd behind Fatty Lu, a middle-aged beggar pulled a little beggar, and looked at Li Suzu and Fatty Lu, who were at war with each other, with a smile on his face, and murmured in a low voice: "Laugh, let's take a ride!"  Let¡¯s have a good laugh and see who gets the last laugh! Prince Kang, if you don¡¯t want to be unlucky, you¡¯d better be honest with me!¡±  More chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 98

    ?

    The prince went to Beijing to visit relatives, or to visit relatives in Yunnan, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away and the mountains are poor. The ostentation is naturally extraordinary.  However, because our Prince Kang Jieshu is a good prince who loves the people like a son, is loyal to the emperor and serves the country, he didn't put on any airs or show any pomp along the way. He just hurried all the way, day and night, until he arrived at Guiyang City  Here, King Kang could not resist the sincere plea made by Bian Sanyuan, governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Bian Butang, on behalf of the flattered people of Yunnan and Guizhou.

    Lord Kang is here, and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Bian Sanyuan, is also here in person. Of course, officials of all sizes in the officialdom of Yunnan dare not neglect.  The civil and military officials rushed to Shengjingguan to greet him; although Wu Sangui knew that Jieshu's visitor was not kind, he didn't dare to go through the motions when it came to face matters, and sent Wu Sanmei and Hu Guozhu to meet Jieshu at Shengjingguan.  The honor guard team is also planning to invite Kang Wangye to visit Kunming and enjoy the scenery of Dianchi Lake.

    This time, it was finally confirmed by Zhou Peigong. Wu Sangui and the Pingxi Palace think tank actually understood the real purpose of Jieshu's visit - to cheer for his son-in-law Li Suzu, and to clean up Fatty Lu, who despised the authority of Prince Kang.  The bastard, by the way, personally visit the Pingxi palace, and formulate further information for Xiaomazi's Yunnan-Guizhou policy.  But as Zhou Peigong expected, the indecisive Wu Sangui would never have the guts to turn against Lord Kang for a seventh-rank official like Fatty Lu, and fight to the end with Lord Kang.  Fatty, let Fatty Lu ask for more blessings.

    Fatty Lu's good teacher, Liu Xuanchu, knows Wu Sangui better than anyone else, and he quickly saw through Li Suzu's strategy of the Raptors suppressing local snakes, and Wu Sangui's weak position in this matter, but Liu Xuanchu also knew very well that he  It is absolutely impossible to persuade Wu Sangui to turn against Jie Shu for Fatty Lu.  So Liu Xuanchu had no choice but to try his best to persuade Wu Sangui to save Fatty Lu's life, and try to let Fatty Lu be dismissed from office.  Afterwards, slowly find a way to get Fatty Lu back into the official position¡ªon this point, Liu Xuanchu still has a lot of confidence, and he got his wish to persuade Wu Sangui to accept his idea, determined to save Fatty Lu's life at all costs.

    When the plans of good and evil parties were settled, on the eighth day of the seventh month of the seventh year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, Lord Kang¡¯s team finally arrived at Shengjing Pass.  Thousands of attendants knelt on both sides of the road together, shouting in unison, the prince, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old, the scene was spectacular.  It also made King Kang, who was out of Beijing for the first time to inspect, very satisfied, feeling awe-inspiring, and said to himself that it is no wonder that the imperial guards and princes in the capital have sharpened their heads and wanted to go out of Beijing.  So majestic and proud, with countless people kowtow to pay respects and so many people scrambling to give money, it seems that I will find a way to go to Beijing a few more times in the future to help these local officials spend some local money.

    There is also something that makes King Kang very dissatisfied, that is, Yunnan and Guizhou are too poor. Most of the people of Han, Yi, Miao, Dong and Bai ethnic groups on both sides of the road are naked, yellow and thin, and most of them are holding hoes.  Working tools such as dung forks and shoulder poles are very obtrusive, and they smeared the face of the prosperous Qing Dynasty. How can it compare to the bright clothes, red faces and potbellies of our Eight Banners in the Qing Dynasty?  Of course, the things in our hands are not as good as the birdcages, smoking pots and cricket jars in the hands of our Manchurian Eight Banners men!

    "You dog slaves, stay away, don't spoil the scenery here, hurry up to farm and pay taxes, we Eight Banners Manchu people are still waiting to eat hard-core crops!" Kang Wangye cursed fiercely in his heart.

    What made Prince Kang even more dissatisfied was still to come. The three giants of Yunnan and most of the Yunnan officials who could come, the imperial envoy Yu Jackie Chan, and the representatives of Pingxi Palace also came, Wu Sangui's younger brother Wu Sanmei and his elder brother  Son-in-law Hu Guozhu, even Kong Sizhen Sigege, a beauty who is not based in Yunnan, and Bian Sanyuan, the governor of Yunnan-Guizhou who is permanently stationed in Guiyang, all came. His son-in-law Li Suzu, the prefect of Qujing, nodded and bowed so that people suspected that he wanted to lick Lord Kang's shoes, but Kang  A bastard whom the lord paid close attention to did not come - this bastard who knows nothing about heaven and earth is of course our fat Lu San.

    "Lin Zhongcheng, come here." After all, Lord Kang is a nobleman in Tianhuang, a well-known figure, and he will find the right target when he loses his temper. First, he called Lin Tianqing in front of him, and coldly snorted at Lin Tianqing: "Lin Zhongcheng, I heard that Qu Jing  Lu Yifeng, the county magistrate, is your relative and child? Is there such a thing?"

    "No, it's not." Lin Tianqing, an old fox in the officialdom, knew that Lord Kang wanted to show him off, so he wiped off his sweat and declared,;Yu Chenglong stopped talking again, Kong Sizhen winked at Jieshu, Jieshu understood, and immediately said: "My lord, to tell the truth, after hearing Si Gege's secret report about Li Suzu to the king, I will  The king was also filled with indignation, and he also wanted to cut Li Suzu into pieces and return justice to the people of Qujing! However, it is easy to kill Li Suzu, so where can we find someone who is loyal to the emperor and the court to replace him?  Moreover, people will make mistakes, making mistakes is not terrible, what is afraid of is that there is no chance to correct mistakes, so you don't want to give Li Suzu such a chance to correct?"

    "My lord, I beg you from my family and Lord Kang, please let Li Suzu go for a while." Kong Sizhen almost snuggled into Jackie Chan's arms, and whispered in Jackie Chan's ear: "Look, the prince is going south to visit his relatives, come here.  The one who visited was Li Suzu. You will convict Li Suzu, where will you save the face of the prince? The thirteen yamen of the slave family have a lot of information to be collected from Li Suzu.  Down, where should I go to gather information?"

    "So, Master Yu, I beg you, let Li Suzu off once, give him a chance to correct himself, and let him promise that he will never dare again, okay?" Kong Sizhen's voice seemed to be mixed with honey.  , sweet and glutinous, "I guess, even if your mentor Wang Zongxian, Mr. Yu, is here, or your brother Yu Chenglong, who has the same name and surname as you, is here, he will understand the righteousness and give Li Suzu this meritorious deed.  Master Yu, don¡¯t you adore your mentor and your elder brother of the same name, Yu Chenglong? Don¡¯t you want to learn from them?¡±

    "Of course, after the matter is completed, both this king and Si Gege will be rewarded generously!" Jie Shu promised: "After returning to Beijing, this king will secretly report to the emperor your profound righteousness, and will truthfully explain your profound righteousness.  Your Majesty, please reward you for your various contributions! In addition, this king will ask Li Suzu to prepare a generous gift to thank you for your life-saving grace."

    "My family will also thank you, sir. No matter what Master Yu wants, my family will never refuse" Kong Sizhen cast a charming sideways glance at Jackie Chan, and then lightly squeezed his thigh, provocatively,  He expressed it with words, and said in his heart, if I can't hook up with Jackie Chan, the old man, can my old lady hook up with you, who is younger than Jackie Chan?

    "This" After thinking for a long time, Yu Chenglong finally relaxed, and said in a weak voice: "My lord, Si Gege, please allow Yu Chenglong to think about it all night."

    "What else are you thinking about?" Kong Sizhen asked coquettishly, "My lord, haven't you seen it yet? Yunnan-Guizhou Governor Bian Butang, Yunnan Chief Envoy Cui Fantai, and Inspector Li Jietai have all decided to stand by us.  Sir, are you still planning to turn the tide and stand on the opposite side of everyone? Even if you have the heart, what's the use of helping that fat man Lu? What can he do for you? Can he help you get promoted, or can he help you?  You improved your family situation? And uncovered Fatty Lu¡¯s crime of deceiving the emperor, isn¡¯t it a great achievement for you?¡±

    "That's right." Jie Shu nodded vigorously, and said, "Fatty Lu used countermeasures against the emperor to trick the emperor into making concessions on the Yungui military salary.  A crime is one of Geistra's feats!"

    Yu Chenglong's face sank like water, he closed his eyes and his heart was at war between heaven and man. After thinking about it for half an hour, Yu Chenglong moved his lips slightly and said in a low voice: "My lord, Sigege, I'm a lowly official who secretly collects those things.  Bring it to you. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

    The only hope is that the imperial envoy Yu Chenglong has also been dragged into the water, and the treacherous and loyal Lu Sanhao and Lu Huanhao should finally die without a burial place, right?

    (ps: 8,000-word chapter update, ask for monthly and recommendation tickets.)

    When Lord Kang's huge and luxurious team was about to enter Qujing County, the first batch of Eight Banners auspicious flowers on the land of Qujing County had already reached the time for harvesting. The beautiful petals of the auspicious flowers swaying in the wind faded, revealing a  The plump dark green fruit balls are heavy and slightly falling, exuding bursts of mysterious and alluring aroma, showing a special magic power, fascinating magic power.

    In the morning, on the land of Luo Leisheng, a small landlord who has been greatly favored by Fatty Lu, Fatty Lu took Zhu Fangdan to the field in person, and under the watchful eyes of countless people who came to visit and study after hearing the news, Fatty Lu instructed Luo Leisheng's family and tenant farmers to harvest auspicious flowers  , let them use thick needles, awls and small knives to cut through the skin of the fruit of the auspicious flower, and cut a small, shallow wound. The fruit wound also gradually seeps out a little bit of white thick juice, which gathers into drops, like  Slowly flowing like tears, they were scraped off by a knife and put into small clay pots.

    "Do you understand? It's that simple." Fatty Lu wiped the sweat off his face, and shouted at Luo Leisheng and the surrounding people: "Each fruit can be harvested with a knife every day, or it can be harvested in the afternoon.  Come back to collect the juice the next morning. Put the received juice into jars, and when it accumulates to a certain time, you can cook the medicine according to the method taught by Master Zhu. When the medicine is boiled again, it can be sent to the city  I have sold the Daheng Company, or sent it directly to the county government office, and sold it to the county government office, do you understand?"

    "Understood, I understand." All the people nodded one after another, remembering Fatty Lu's careful instructions.  But the more it got to this point, the more worried the common people who were digging in the soil, especially the small landlord Luo Leisheng¡ªin order to thank Fatty Lu, he used more than half of his land to grow auspicious flowers.

    "Master Zhu, can you tell me now, how much copper can you get for the 30 mu of drugs planted by Cao Min's family?" Luo Leisheng asked Fatty Lu and Zhu Fangdan almost pleadingly.

    Fatty Lu and Zhu Fangdan looked at each other with a smile, and put it off on purpose. Fatty Lu said, "Fellow Luo, I'm really sorry, but I can't tell you now, because I have to wait until all the auspicious flowers in your 30 mu of land are harvested and boiled."  Only after you have taken the medicine and weighed it can the officer estimate the price for you."

    "That's right, this is the first time in Qujing. We have no way of estimating how much we can harvest per mu of land." Zhu Fangdan nodded in agreement, and said, "One more thing, your 30 mu of Aphrodisiac, the best  Don¡¯t harvest the asparagus that is half an acre of land, wait until it grows and harvest the seeds, and those seeds can be sold for money, and you can sell it for so much money that you can¡¯t imagine.¡±

    "How much silver is that?" Luo Leisheng asked with a sad face.

    Fatty Lu and Fangdan Zhu stopped talking, just looked at each other and laughed, and Fatty Lu patted Luo Leisheng on the shoulder and said, "Fellow Luo, we can't tell you this, we will give you a big surprise then,  lest I tell you now, and frighten you."

    After finishing speaking, Fatty Lu turned to look at the people who were probing their brains, and shouted: "Folks, you all remember that there are too many Afurongs planted, and you must remember to save two or three parts of the Afurong.  Grow seeds, so that you will not be able to buy seeds when you have money in the coming year. Those who planted less, such as those who only planted a half of the land, and those who only planted dozens of trees, simply don¡¯t harvest them, and keep them to grow.  Let¡¯s sell the seeds¡ªbut when the time comes, I can assure you that even if someone forces you to sell them with knives and money, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be willing to sell them! Hahahaha¡­¡±

    The common people nodded in agreement with doubts, and remembered Fatty Lu's words carefully, and kept them in their hearts with doubts.  At this time, a Qujing county government servant rushed over on a fast horse and shouted from a distance: "Tai Zun, Tai Zun, Lord Kang's team started from Zhanyi, and it will take another hour at most to reach Jiaoshuiguan  Already, Catcher Li, please get ready."

    "Very good, the Lord is finally here." Fatty Lu sneered, and ordered: "Master Zhu, Erlang, hurry up and tidy up, greet some people who are willing to go, and go to Jiaoshuiguan right away. If I guess correctly, Li  It's time for Lizu to use the trick he prepared a long time ago."

    "Okay, I'll go get the official uniform for the young master." Xiao Erlang agreed, and turned to get the official uniform.

    "No, just go like this." Fatty Lu, whose feet were covered in mud and dust, shook his head and said, "Since we have already excused organizing the autumn harvest and not going to Shengjing Pass to meet him, why not just let him see that I just came out of the field  , lest he find excuses again."

    "Although this is the truth, master, you still have to be careful." Zhu Fangdan said worriedly: "Master Kang has already made his attitude clear at Shengjing Pass. This time he came to Qujing to cheer for Li Suzu.  Most of the snobbish eyes on the wall are also on his side. The current situation is alreadyThe crowd of people shouted loudly: "I invite the imperial envoy to ascend to the hall¡ª!"

    "I invite the imperial envoy to ascend to the hall!" The dozen or so entourages brought by Yu Chenglong shouted in unison.

    "Who is the imperial envoy?" Kong Sizhen was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her throat, and hurriedly dragged her foot injured by Fang Shiyu's kick to the entrance of the lobby, looking around at the crowd.  But seeing the people's heads rushing forward, more than a dozen beggars gradually squeezed forward, leading a middle-aged beggar pulling a young beggar, who was thin and strode forward with his head held high and chest out, no doubt he was a real imperial envoy.  And when he took a closer look at the appearance of the imperial envoy, Kong Sizhen sat down on the ground

    "Fucking, cheating, how could the imperial envoy be him? This old man is not even afraid of Wu Sangui and Aobai, what use is the helper I brought, Lord Kang?" Kong Sizhen shed tears in pain, and looked up to the sky with tears in his eyes.  , shouted in despair, "God, Fatty Lu is playing a rascal, my old lady finally drove him to a corner, and finally won everyone who can win over. But how could the imperial envoy sent by the emperor be Zuo Du from the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"  Censor¡ªWang Xu?!"

    Just like in that song:

    When Kong Sizhen couldn't wait to rush to the entrance of the lobby to look around, most of the officials in the lobby also got up and flocked to the entrance of the lobby, wanting to see with their own eyes who this mysterious real imperial envoy was.  Only a few high-ranking officials, such as Prince Kang Jieshu, Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou Bian Sanyuan, Governor of Yunnan Lin Tianqing, and Wu Sanmei, younger brother of Wu Sangui, held their identities and did not rush to watch, but they also pricked up their ears.  , I want to know the identity of the imperial envoy from other officials.

    Fatty Lu didn't move either. It wasn't that Fatty Lu wasn't curious, but Fatty Lu didn't want to show weakness to the enemy, so he didn't bother to fight for this moment¡ªanyway, no matter who is an imperial envoy, he has to show up, right?

    Yu Chenglong's words were somewhat exaggerated. In fact, apart from a few qualified officials who often went to the capital, there were also the imperial envoy who really knew this first-rank official, except Fatty Lu, the enchanting seventh-rank sesame official.  There are not many of them, and even Li Xingyuan, the inspector of Yunnan, who has been to Beijing, has never seen the face of this imperial envoy because of various chances and coincidences.  So when Kong Sizhen sat on the ground with his buttocks, Li Jietai was shocked, turned to Cui Zhiying, the chief minister of Yunnan, and asked: "Master Cui, is the beggar at the head an imperial envoy? What official? What's his name?"  ?¡±

    "Wang, Wang, Wang Zongxian." Cui Zhiying, Cui Fantai, from the second rank, paled, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence, "Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate (equivalent to the Supreme Prosecutor General)  ), Wang Xu and President Wang! When I came to Beijing the year before last, I had a chance encounter with him!"

    "Zuodu Censor Wang Zongxian?!" Li Jietai almost didn't jump up, and his face became even paler: "Is that the lunatic Wang who dared to join Prince Rui (Dorgon) just after he became the censor?  Wang Tiemian with one county king, three belors, and five belors? And Wang Xu Wang Zongxian who made Pingxi and Pingnan suffer a lot?"

    "Besides him, who else could be?" Cui Fantai's legs were trembling, "It seems that Prince Jingnan was driven out of his original domain of Guangdong because of his impeachment! The unscrupulous officials who died in his hands,  There are too many to count! ¡ª¡ªOld Li, we two have to be careful this time"

    "Yes, you have to be careful." Li Jietai, whose buttocks were also seriously dirty, immediately trembled more violently than Cui Fantai.

    "Hahahahaha." Wu Sangui's eldest son-in-law Hu Guozhu, who reacted completely opposite to Cui Fantai and Li Jietai, laughed a few times and quickly regained his senses, ran behind Fatty Lu and slapped Fatty Lu on the shoulder, and said with a big laugh:  "Yifeng, you don't have to worry. You can rest assured. Guess who the imperial envoy is? Wang Xu, President Wang, you will be fine this time!"

    "Wang Xu?! How could it be him?" Happiness came so quickly, Fatty Lu was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.

    "Okay, okay, the sky has eyes, the sky has eyes!" Lin Tianqing, who was almost a grasshopper on the same rope as Fatty Lu, jumped three feet high, and immediately burst into laughter regardless of Prince Kang's presence, "Three good  Nephew, you will be rewarded for being a good person this time! Thanks to you, the old man¡¯s bribery charges this time can finally be cleared by someone!¡±

    "Lin Zhongcheng, what do you mean?" Wu Sanmei, who didn't care much about government affairs next to him, was a little puzzled, and asked Lin Tianqing and Hu Guozhu: "Lin Zhongcheng, Guozhu, what are you so happy about? I heard that Wang Xu is not a good person."  The person you provoked is the famous King of Hades, even my brother Wang suffered a lot from him, why are you so happy?"

    "Father-in-law, my lord father-in-law." Before Lin Tianqing and Hu Guozhu could answer, Li Shizu rushed back, ran to Jieshu and cupped his hands, wiped his sweat and said, "Father-in-law, the imperial envoy is Wang Xu."  Wang Zongxian, I heard that this person is very powerful and notoriously difficult, do you have friendship with him, father-in-law?"

    "Li Futai, I don't know if Wang Zongxian and Lord Kang have any friendship." Hu Guozhu laughed grinningly triumphantly, "But what I know is that the friendship between Wang Zongxian and Mr. Lu is not forged - Mr. Lu not only  Saved Zongxian Wang, and Zongxian Wang's family by sending charcoal in the snow! This time, I think you are still crazy?"

    "What?!" Wu Sanmei and Li Shizu screamed at the same time - but Wu Sanmei screamed in surprise, but Li Shizzu screamed with a pale face.  Screaming, Li Shizu turned to Lord Kang, and asked with an incredulous face, "Father-in-law, is this true? Since Fatty Lu is kind to Wang Zongxian, why did the court send Wang Zongxian to investigate this matter?"  case?"

    "How do I know why the court sent him?! If I had known" Lord Kang roared, and quickly turned his face away, his chest heaved violently, looking extremely nervous and angry, and he added viciously in his heart, "  ifEven they couldn't figure out what they had said before.

    "Enough!" After more than half an hour of cross-examination, Wang Xu finally slapped the gavel unbearably, and shouted angrily: "Li Qing, Ren Wu, the two of you said that you heard Lu Yifeng say that  In this case, both of you were present, and then you said that only you, Li Qing, were present. Ren San, you heard this from Li Qing. Then the Zuixian Tower became the Qilin Tower, and then the Ruyi Tower,  Time is also a matter of days, and you, Li Qing, heard it from Luo Li again! What is the reason for being so capricious? If you don¡¯t follow the truth, I will punish you!¡±

    Several witnesses did not dare to make a sound, and the sweat on their heads directly wet the lobby floor. Wang Xu observed his words, and slapped the gavel again and shouted: "Come here, servants with sticks, if you don't tell the truth, who is instigating you?"  If you frame an official of the imperial court, you will put a stick on me!"

    "Cover!" Yu Chenglong's entourage agreed together, and threw two sets of blood-stained pincers in front of several false witnesses.  Several false witnesses were even more frightened, and one of them simply pointed at Li Suzu and shouted: "Master, it's a small trick, a small trick, it's the magistrate"

    "Report¡ª¡ª!" It was time for Li Suzu to change his luck. At this moment, a few servants from the magistrate's yamen squeezed out the crowd and rushed to the hall, shouting from a distance: "Master, master, great news! Great news!  Happy event! Auspiciousness descended from heaven, auspiciousness descended from heaven!"

    "What auspiciousness?" Li Suizu hurriedly asked in hypocritical surprise, and then shouted: "What are you still doing? Why don't you quickly kowtow to the imperial envoy and the prince, and report the auspiciousness to them?"

    "Little Chen Er, kowtow to the imperial envoy, kowtow to the prince." The leading servant with a full face and his companion kowtowed, raised his head again, and said with joy: "My lord, the imperial envoy, auspicious! Great auspiciousness!"  The little ones were patrolling outside the city just now, and suddenly saw a dragon descending from the sky and landed on the bank of the Bada River in the east of Qujing. The little ones knew that there must be auspiciousness when the dragon descended into the world, so they ran to the place where the dragon landed to watch, and found  There's a beach that's glistening"

    "Huh?" The servant of the Hengrou Yamen couldn't continue talking at this point, he stared at Wang Xu dumbfounded, and said with a tongue-tied voice: "You, are you an imperial envoy?"

    "That's right, I'm the Imperial Envoy." Wang Xu said with a smile, "Chen Butou, we met again. Last time at Shengjing Pass, you hired me to beat drums and cheer for you, pretending to be a commoner and suing Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Qujing County¡ªbut  I still owe my imperial envoy five cents, do you remember?"

 Chapter 101 Who Am I?

    ?

    "Chen Butou, let's meet again." Wang Xu's expression was very relaxed, and with a half-smile, he said to Chen Er, the deputy head of the magistrate's yamen who had just rushed into the lobby to report auspiciousness: "Last time at Shengjing Pass, you hired me  Beat the drums to cheer you up, and pretend to be a commoner to sue Lu Yifeng, the prefect of Qujing County¡ªbut I still owe five cents to the imperial envoy, do you remember?"

    "Bang!" In an instant, the civil and military officials in the lobby were silent, and the only sound left was the sound of their buttocks sitting on the floor.  But the person with his butt on the floor was not Chen Er, the deputy head arrester of the magistrate's yamen, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground¡ªthe person sitting on his buttocks was Li Suzu, the prefect of Qujing, Mr. Li, Li Futai!

    "Chen Er, I didn't expect you to have so many errands at the same time." Yu Chenglong also laughed and said: "Last time at Shengjing Pass, you were said to be a hunter, and you beat a tiger and were robbed by Lu Zhixian.  It's really not easy to become the deputy head catcher of the prefect's yamen, and to see the dragon come into the world, and you bump into a dragon and a tiger."

    Hearing this, Chen Er's crotch became wet immediately, and Li Shizu was not much better, his breathing stopped and his eyes turned white, showing signs of fainting at any time, Kong Sizhen glared at Li Shizu viciously, and cursed secretly  A piece of rubbish, even the fakes are done by the same person, and I don¡¯t know who to change¡ªin fact, I can¡¯t completely blame Li Suzu, but no one thought that the 25-year-old who is less than Jackie Chan would turn against the water in Lintang.  Hitting everyone by surprise, Li Suizu was flustered and naturally forgot that Yu Xiaocheng had met Chen Er beforehand.  As for Wang Xu's acquaintance, it was a coincidence that no one could have imagined beforehand.

    "My lord, this is an auspicious omen." After secretly scolding Li Suzu, Kong Sizhen quickly changed the subject, turned to Jieshu and said with a face full of surprise: "My lord, just after you arrived in Qujing City, there was a divine dragon descending."  This is an auspicious omen, the slave family is here to congratulate you. And my lords, don¡¯t you hurry up to congratulate the prince?"

    "The dragon came to the world? Really?" Lord Kang was skeptical, and the other officials present looked at each other, even more skeptical.  Wang Xu slapped the gavel, and said coldly: "Chen Er, the chief arrester, you step back. If there is any matter or auspicious omen, we will talk about it after the imperial envoy finishes the trial of the case."

    "Master Imperial Envoy, can you wait for a while?" Kong Sizhen begged, then turned to Chen Er, and asked with a wink, "Chen Butou, you just said that there is a shining beach beside the Bada River, what happened next? Hurry up."  Said, don't waste the time of the imperial envoy and all the adults."

    "Lord Chief Constitution, protest in a humble position." Fatty Lu suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said loudly: "Lord Chief Constitution, according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the arrester Chen Er had to go to the court to yell and interrupt the interrogation.  He should be punished for the crime of roaring in court!"

    "Lord Lu, what are you in a hurry for? You can't even listen to what Chen Butou has to say?" Kong Sizhen glared at Fatty Lu, then sneered and said, "I heard that when the former county magistrate Cheng Fengcheng of Qujing was hearing the case, Lu  My lord, you also go up to the hall, interrupt the interrogation and take over the county seal¡ªif Chen Butou, who is a member of the public family, reported auspiciousness to the magistrate according to the law, it would be considered a rant to the court, then you can get away with this crime?"

    Finally it was Fatty Lu's turn to be speechless, and Li Suizu finally came to his senses, hurried over and grabbed Chen Er's collar, and shouted with bloodshot eyes: "Quickly, I saw that glistening river beach,  What's going to happen next?! Say it quickly, don't waste the precious time of the imperial envoy, the lord, and your lords, speak quickly!"

    "Next, next" Chen Er was awakened by Li Shizu's cannibalistic eyes, and finally said: "Next, the little ones thought there might be treasures under the river beach, so they dug up the river beach with hoes, and it turned out  A one-eyed man was found at the bottom of the river beach, and the younger one left the other brothers to guard him, and ran to report the news by himself."

    "One-eyed stone man?!" All the officials present were stunned, and then suddenly thought of an allusion-the stone man with one eye provoked rebellion in the Yellow River world!

    "Chen Er, did you find that stone man with writing on it?" Kong Sizhen asked.

    "Back to Sigege, we only dug out the stone man's head and shoulders and didn't dare to continue digging, so we came here to report." Chen Er's answer was much faster this time.

    "Master Imperial Envoy, this matter is no small matter. Since ancient times, there have been some unscrupulous rebels who have used ghosts and gods to plot wrongdoings. You must not take it lightly." Kong Sizhen said loudly: "Ben Gege thinks that the trial should be temporarily suspended now, and the stone man's case should be taken to the scene first.  After the matter is settled, it will not be too late to come back to try the case! My lord, what do you think?"

    ? When turning to Jie Shu for questioning, Kong Sizhen, who was unwilling to be defeated, was desperately struggling to win the last ray of hope, regardless of the presence of many officials, and winked at Jie Shu like killing a chicken and wiping his neck, signaling that Jie Shu agreed with her opinion.  Jie Shu also quickly came back to his senses, jumped up and shouted: "Si Gege is right, dig out the one-eyed man.?He and Fang Shiyu resisted a man and strode into the crowd, followed by Li Suzu's master Bi Gaobin, surrounded and protected by Xiao Erlang and Liu's brothers, also strode into the crowd.  In front of Wang Xu and the others, Li Tianzhi and Fang Shiyu threw the two men on their shoulders to the ground. The two unlucky men whose hands and feet were interrupted by Li Tianzhi and Fang Shiyu screamed as soon as they landed, and Kong Sizhen's face turned pale again.  .

    "My lord imperial envoy, this was found from them." Li Tianzhi held the waist badge of the 13th Yamen in front of Wang Xu, and said, "Si Gege just sent them to kill Li Suzu's master, Bi Yibin, and we took it."  Get off, please ask the imperial envoy for interrogation."

    "I report to the imperial envoy." Bi Gaobin also took the initiative to run to Wang Xu, knelt down, kowtowed and said: "The younger one is called Bi Gaobin, and he is the master of the magistrate Li. Four months ago, in order to frame Lu Yifeng and Lu, Master Li sent people  He secretly carved this one-eyed stone man, engraved the eight rebellious characters of "Dali Longxing, Lu Yifenghuang" and asked the little one to be buried here. Later, Li Zhifu told Si Gege about it, and Si Gege asked Mr. Li to  Don't be impatient, wait for the imperial envoy to come to Qujing to dig out, put Master Lu to death, let Master Lu confiscate his family and exterminate his family, and punish his entire family."

    "Why did the words on the one-eyed man change?" Wang Xu asked calmly.

    "The little one knew that this was a serious crime of ransacking his family and destroying his family, and he respected Mr. Lu as a good official who loved the people like a son, so he took the initiative to find Mr. Lu, told him about this, and asked him to prepare." Bi Binbin explained  : "Master Lu asked the little one to change the eight characters on the one-eyed stone man into 'Tie Ling Longxing, Li Suizuhuang', and then buried here according to the order of Li Futai. Master Lu said that if Master Li has a conscience  If you don't want to frame him with such a low-handed method, then this one-eyed man should be nothing, but if Master Li insists on using such a low-handed method, you will have to suffer for yourself."

    After all, Bi Gaobin took out another stack of documents from his arms, and said respectfully: "Master Imperial Envoy, this is the document for the grassroots plea.  The imperial envoy has a look."

    "Wang Zongxian, these eight words were indeed changed by the lower official to Master Bi." Fatty Lu saluted Qian Qian, and took the initiative to admit his mistake: "But the lower official is also doing the same thing as the other, and returning it to the other, if Mr. Li insists  If you don't use such a vicious method to frame the subordinates, the situation like today will not happen."

    "The book office, record, and report the truth to the Holy Majesty in the future." Wang Xu ordered calmly, then turned to Kong Sizhen, and asked with a sneer: "Si Gege, do you have anything to say now?"

    Kong Sizhen's beautiful face was distorted almost ferociously, and she turned a deaf ear to Wang Xu's words. Her big bloodshot eyes just stared at Fatty Lu, so angry that she almost burst into flames.  Wang Xu shook his head and said, "Si Gege had better not say anything, and it's better to start preparing the confession and defense to explain to the sage. Someone, take Kong Sizhen down, temporarily put him in the magistrate's prison, and then prepare the prison car and the official matchmaker (ancient female matchmaker)  Officer), please Si Gege and Li Futai go back to Beijing in the prison van."

    "Sigege, please." Four servants of the Metropolitan Procuratorate stepped forward, holding handcuffs and shackles in an inviting gesture.  Kong Sizhen glared at Fatty Lu viciously again, raised his head again, and then returned to the city amidst the cheers of the people in Qujing like landslides and tsunami.

    After walking a few steps, Kong Sizhen suddenly stopped, turned around and said loudly to Wang Xu: "Wang Zongxian, Kong Sizhen fell down today, he was convinced, he fell firmly, and he has nothing to say! ¡ª But I can guarantee  , One day, you will regret what you did today! When Lu Yifeng next to you shows his fangs, you will definitely pay a heavy price, and you will definitely regret why you stood by him today  side!"

    "Thanks for your advice, but if all county magistrates in the world can be as diligent and caring for the people as Mr. Lu, and clean as water, Wang Xu will never regret it." Wang Xu replied with a sneer.  But what Wang Xu didn't know was that Kong Sizhen's words became a prophecy, and a few years later, he did pay a painful price for what happened today!  And still, the price of life!

    "This bitch, the sixth sense is really scary!" Fatty Lu shook his head, then looked at Li Suzu, who was still struggling crazily and screaming, and thousands of people in Qujing who were cheering and cheering. He was depressed for a long time  Fatty Lu finally showed some smiles on his fat face, and muttered: "The new chapter is finally about to begin."  Support the author, support genuine reading!)

 Chapter 102 Hype Marketing

    ?

    Li Shizu went crazy, Kong Sizhen was arrested, and the dog-eat-dog relationship between Fatty Lu and Li Shizu finally came to an end.  Without Li Suzu's instigation and Kong Sizhen's instigation and instigation, the witnesses recruited by Li Suzu and Kong Sizhen also quickly collapsed under the joint cross-examination by Wang Xu and Yu Jackie Chan, and confessed truthfully one by one.  All Fatty Lu's accusations are slander and frame-up, and they all came from Li Suzu's order and Kong Sizhen's instigation.  For this, the disgraced King Kang gritted his teeth with hatred, but he couldn't intervene and exert pressure. He could only honestly hurry up and arrange the return to Beijing, and he didn't want to stay in Yunnan and lose face.

    On July 21st, after more than half a month of trial, after a large amount of evidence of Fatty Lu's innocence and evidence of Li Shizu's crimes were presented in court, Wang Xu asked for the Wang Ming flag to declare Fatty Lu's innocence in public.  The ancestral crimes were deserved. Although he was mad, he was still put into a prison car and taken to the capital to be handed over to the three courts for conviction.  The post of prefect of Qujing was temporarily acted by fellow prefect Zhang Gaomo.  Li Shizu's henchmen, led by Chen Er, were all convicted in court. Chen Er and the two yamen servants who were involved in the murder case were sentenced to beheaded.  The eighty-year apprenticeship of the stick has given a bad breath to the people of Qujing who have been tortured for three years.

    In addition, Liu Wenjin and Di Sanpin, the generals of the two Green Battalions in Qujing, were arrested for being involved in the case and temporarily detained by the governor's office in Yunnan, awaiting their release.  An Shiji, the eldest son of Anmin, who was closely colluded with Li Suzu, was arrested and taken to Kunming to wait for trial. An Shixian, who had a close collusion with Lu Fatty, took the opportunity to take over the throne and took over the throne of his elder brother's reserve chieftain as he wished.  empty.  And the fuse of the whole incident, Li led the ancestor's brother-in-law, Ren Xinglai, because of the accumulation of various crimes, and the people's anger was too great. Wang Xu asked Wang to order the flag to be executed first and then played.

    In addition, the suspicion that Lin Tianqing, the governor of Yunnan Province, accepted bribes from Fatty Lu to cover up and favoritism was also cleared. This time, Lin Tianqing was really wronged.  It is a small gain.  In addition, Li Suzu's master, Bi Gaobin, because of his meritorious service in confessing and assisting the imperial envoy in investigating the case, pardoned the crimes committed and was acquitted, which also took a small advantage.  The unlucky ones are Lord Kang Jieshu and Kong Sizhen, Lord Kang is better, Wang Xu has not found any evidence to take him down directly, so he can only impeach him, and ask Xiao Mazi to deal with it personally¡ªit is estimated that at least the title of prince will be lost; Kong Sizhen  It was miserable. He was convicted of a lot of crimes such as interfering with the judiciary, shielding criminal officials, killing and silencing, perjury to frame officials ordered by the court, and leaving his post without authorization.

    By the way, because he saw the opportunity quickly, Zhou Peigong, who knew that the situation was not good, made a quick decision when he saw Li Tianzhi and Fang Shiyu capture the killer who was going to kill him.  It was taken over by Wang Xu and Yu Jackie Chan.  Fatty Lu only knows his name is Zhou Chang, but he doesn't know his name is Peigong, so he didn't take his small role seriously, and didn't pursue it further.  Once his crime of helping Kong Sizhen continue to abuse the tyrant was exposed, no one would be able to save him.

    Of course, the one who laughed the happiest and reaped the most benefits was the Pingxi Palace. Not only did he accidentally save Fatty Lu, a rare rising star in the Pingxi Palace, but he finally overthrew Li Suzu, a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, and got rid of the mites in the Qing court.  The most stubborn and difficult eyeliner in Yunnan made Wu Sangui very angry!  At the same time, a large number of civil and military officials in the Qujing Mansion fell because of their involvement in the Li Suzu case, which vacated a lot of vacancies for the running dogs of the Pingxi Palace, which had too many monks and too little food, and also provided an opportunity for Wu Sangui to consolidate his control over Yunnan.

    Of course, no one expected that after a large number of official vacancies in the Qujing Mansion came out, there would be countless people vying for each civil and military vacancy, but no one was fighting for the position of the prefect of Qujing. Originally, Wu Sangui planned to strike first  In order to be strong, he immediately dispatched Feng Su, the magistrate of Dali, to take over this important position, but after the order was sent to Feng Su, Feng Su shook his head, preferring to make Wu Sangui unhappy, but also to find an excuse to decline, and quietly said to the trusted:  "Transfer to Qujing to be the magistrate? I'm crazy! I'm in the same city as a lunatic like Lu Yifeng. Is he the magistrate or am I the magistrate? Can I beat him? Even if I don't fight him, I don't dare to quit  Instead of going to Qujing to make things difficult for yourself, it¡¯s better to stay in Dali and be at ease.¡±

    So there is no way, under the circumstances that no one dares to take over or even dare to take over the post of prefect of Qujing, the post of prefect of Qujing has to be temporarily acted by Zhang Gaomo, the prefect, but it is very good, Zhang Gaomo has always been known for being honest and wimpy, and he is with Fatty Lu  A city would never dare to take the initiative to provoke Fatty Lu, and it is still respectful to Wu Sangui, soHe said: "Wang Zongxian, the number one doctor in the West compared Baqi Fushou Ointment to the first elixir bestowed by the gods and Buddhas, and now you have seen with your own eyes that the medicine dregs of Baqi Fushou Ointment alone has such a miraculous effect.  Should you understand how important and miraculous this Eight Banners Fushou Ointment is? You should also understand how popular this Eight Banners Fushou Ointment is in the West, right?"

    "Did you contact the Western market?" Wang Xu finally understood what Fatty Lu meant.

    Fatty Lu nodded, and replied honestly: "Don't dare to lie to Mr. President. Before I was dismissed, I had sent people to Guangdong to get in touch with Western businessmen. They had already made a promise that as long as Qujing could grow the Eight Banners drug ointment, they would have as many  How much to buy, and the price is ridiculously high, now you should know why Xiaguan is so confident?"

    "Understood." Wang Xu nodded, and asked again: "From the current point of view, how is the production of Eight Banners Fushou Gao in Qujing?"

    "Thanks to the emperor Hong Fu, he looks pretty good, even better than he estimated before he was dismissed." Fatty Lu answered this question vaguely, then suddenly gave a thousand blows to Wang Xu and Jie Shu, cupped his hands and said, "Prince Kang, Zongxian Wang  I have something to ask from my humble position. After you return to the capital, you must truthfully report to the emperor what you saw and heard today. Please issue a strict decree to strictly control the sales scope of the Eight Banners Fushou Gao.  Banner people use and smoke this extraordinary Eight Banners Fushou Ointment, and sell it in the West for silver to be used in the financial circulation of the Qing Dynasty. It must not be used by ordinary people! Otherwise, ordinary people will be strong and light.  Like a swallow, if one counts as ten, our Great Qing will be in danger!"

    "Dog traitor!" The eyes of the Han people present, including Wu Sanmei, burst into flames, cursing that Fatty Lu is not a thing, betraying the country and seeking glory, and forgetting the ancestors!

    "Of course." Jie Shu said with ecstasy on his face: "After returning to Beijing, I will definitely report the truth to the emperor, please strictly control it, and only us Banners are allowed to use this Eight Banners drug ointment! Also, you Eight Banners  The fushou cream is ready, remember to send some to me, let me have a try."

    "Don't worry, my lord, I will obey your orders." Fatty Lu respectfully agreed, and then said with a smile: "Let's just say a joke, after the lord has used Baqi Fushou Ointment, if the lord doesn't see immediate results in certain aspects of the bed, he will show his might.  , I would like to ask the prince for the crime of lying."

    "Get out! This king is used to strengthen the body and prolong life, but I don't want to use it for that!" Jie Shu rarely made a joke with Fatty Lu, but he felt itchy in his heart¡ªif the Eight Banners drug is also good for that aspect.  If it really works, Lord Kang can consider marrying a few more side Fujins.

    "Okay then." Wang Xu nodded seriously, and said: "After returning to Beijing, I will definitely report to the emperor the miraculous effects of the Eight Banners Fushou Ointment, as well as what I have seen and heard today, and please strictly control the emperor, only the soldiers of the Eight Banners are allowed  use."

    "Thank you, my lord, thank you, Mr. President." Fatty Lu thanked him respectfully, and snorted coldly in his heart¡ªonce you become addicted to these things, it will be strange if you can control them.

    After getting up, he looked back at Wu Sanmei, Hu Guozhu, Wang Fuchen, Ma Daning and others who were spitting fire in their eyes. Fatty Lu smiled wryly in his heart and said, "I'm doing it for your own good. Why are you so anxious? Haven't you heard of hype?"  Marketing?

 Chapter 103 The Crazy Begins

    ?

    (ps: The chapters have been updated for several days in a row, but the monthly ticket scores have dropped again and again, and now they have fallen out of the top 100. Dear friends, you can¡¯t even out a few monthly tickets for the great gods, and give them to the pure wolf.  Send charcoal in the snow?)

    As an army man who entered Yunnan with Wu Sangui's army more than ten years ago, Luo Leisheng is undoubtedly a very lucky person.  Burned out in the army like so many of my mates.  Although he failed to return to his hometown in the Central Plains, he still settled down in the Qujing Mansion in Yunnan, where the colorful clouds are like spring all the year round, married a wife and had children, and settled down.

    After several wars, Yunnan has fewer people and more land. In order to collect taxes from the people, the surviving soldiers and civilians were allotted a little bit of land. Luo Leisheng, who worked as a cow and horse for Wu Sangui for five years, was also allotted ten acres of land to live and live.  With hard work and a little bit of luck, Luo Lei became a small landlord with more than 50 mu of precious land of varying quality and quality, and hired a few long-term laborers. There was some hope for a better life.

    But at this time, bad luck came to the door. Ren Xing, the big shopkeeper of the Ren family business, came to see Luo Leisheng's land, which was the best land of more than 20 mu in Luo Leisheng.  , I just want to take it, so there is a mysterious incident of Tianmu Dibei moving by itself.

    After many years of hard work, half of it was taken away by others, and he was tricked by others when he tried to reason. In anger and anger, Luo Leisheng held the last ray of hope, held a pleading paper and went to Cheng Feng, the magistrate of Qujing County, to sue his brother-in-law and prince.  Ren Xinglai, the younger brother of the goddaughter, the result is predictable. The magistrate was not happy on the spot, and the magistrate Cheng was obedient, trying to figure out how to get rid of Ren Xinglai, and turn Luo Leisheng's legal property into Ren Xinglai.  legal property.

    Just when Luo Leisheng was almost desperate, the new Qujing county magistrate, Lu Yifeng, Lu Qingtian, and Lu Daxian's magistrate took office. Everyone knows the series of earth-shattering events that happened next.

    In order to repay Fatty Lu, a rare and good dog official, when Lu Qingtian, the magistrate of Xinxian County, encouraged Luo Leisheng to plant Eight Banners Fushouhua, Luo Leisheng planted 30 acres in one go. Although he was not the person who planted the most in Qujing, he was the only one who  More than half of the land was used to plant the Eight Banners Fushouhua, and according to the instructions of the Xinxian Taiye and the county Taiye, the pervert master Zhu Shiye, they used the method of growing wheat to send soil and fertilization to the Eight Banners Fushouhua.  Following Lu Qingtian's instructions, he took his wife and children, and the long-term laborers went to the field with brushes, and used the brushes to artificially pollinate the Baqi Fushou flowers one by one.  Crops can also increase yields in this way.

    The people who have planted the land for most of their lives are skeptical about the method that the Grand Master of Xin County said.  In previous years, more than 200 catties were collected, which made many villagers regret it. They said that the county magistrate also taught us, but we didn't believe it!

    The cucumbers in a few ridges of land are just a trivial matter. What really worries Luo Leisheng is the beautiful 30 acres of eight banners. Although everyone admits, it is the first time they have seen such beautiful flowers, and it is the first time they have seen so many  The spectacular scene of beautiful flowers blooming in the fields, but most people also expressed doubts, can these beautiful flowers really be exchanged for money like grain and vegetables?  But don't plant it, no one will buy it and no one will want it, right?  There are also many people who like to gloat and say, Luo Leisheng, that kid has been fooled, just wait and cry!

    The beautiful Eight Banners Fushou Flower gradually withered, and green oval fruits grew one after another. Like all the people who planted this Eight Banners Fushou Flower, Luo Leisheng followed the instructions of the county magistrate, using a knife, an awl and  The thick needles cut through the fruits one by one, and collected the oozing white juice bit by bit, leaving only half an acre of fruit as the seeds for the coming year¡ª¡ª according to the county magistrate, this kind of seeds can also be used to extract oil and squeeze them.  The oil that came out was a tribute to the palace in the previous dynasty, and the price was so high that Luo Leisheng could not imagine.

    After the thick white juice was collected, Luo Leisheng boiled it in a small pot on low heat according to the request of the county magistrate. The fragrance emitted when boiling the medicine was very peculiar and intoxicating. Luo Leisheng and all his neighbors said it smelled good.  , but what made Luo Leisheng terrified, and what made all the people who planted this kind of Eight Banners Fushouhua terrified, was that the white concoction harvested from an acre of land could only boil about thirty taels of black ointment, which was the highest yield.  One mu of land can only be boiled for more than forty taels, and the least is even less than twenty taels.

    Luo Leisheng's wife cried on the spot, saying that if these lands were used to grow grain, one mu of land could receive two to three hundred catties of grain throughout the year, which could be sold for seven or eight renminbi.  What's the matter?  Unless these black ointments can be sold for two cents a tael,The illusory debts on credit, the common people who are used to being poor will of course choose the former, and at the same time, Fatty Lu also showed kindness and raised the purchase price by one tael or one penny, and the common people naturally obediently gave away the rest of the Eight Banners.  When he came to Fatty Lu, he happily left with the money in his hands, and the money that Fatty Lu borrowed from Wu Sangui with the mortgage of his family property was almost gone.  And Luo Leisheng's family, who planted the most crops this year, naturally became the envy and envy of everyone - this kid, good luck!

    The precious Eight Banners drug ointments are basically purchased. In order to get back the funds as soon as possible, Fatty Lu¡¯s uncle Qin Chuanwu rushed to Guangzhou with a batch of Eight Banners drug ointments on the same day, and sold them to Western businessmen who had already made an appointment¡ªthe Golden Triangle of this era.  It has not been developed yet, and it happens to be popular in Europe. When it is shipped to Guangzhou, Western merchants buy as many as possible.

    In order to prevent accidents, Fatty Lu borrowed a hundred masters from Wang Jing and handed them over to Fang Shiyu, Liu Zhen, and Liu Xu brothers to lead the caravan to protect his uncle and rush to Guangzhou.  Li Tianzhi was unavoidably worried about this, and said, "My lord, you have sent Fang Shiyu out. You only have the last general and Shen Xin by your side. Is there a little less manpower? Prince Pingnan hates you to the bone. What if you are here?"  Who will he send to?"

    "It's okay, when the news of the Eight Banners Fushou Cream reaches Prince Pingnan, he will definitely not be willing to kill me as a son-in-law." Fatty Lu shook his head, and said: "As for sending Fang Shiyu to Guangdong, I have nothing but to let him go back.  Go home to reunite with my parents, and let him do some things for me, and find some manpower for me, my manpower here is about to start to be short."

    Fatty Lu's crow's mouth has always been very sharp. When Qin Chuanwu's caravan was still on its way to Guangdong, the news that the Eight Banners Fushou Gao had harvested in Qujing County and sold at sky-high prices had already spread, and it was quickly spread through various sources.  The channel spread to the ears of Fatty Lu's official father-in-law, the traitor Shang Kexi.  I probably inquired about the production of Eight Banners Fushou Gao in Qujing, as well as the purchase price in Qujing and the current price in Guangzhou. I also heard about the price of Eight Banners Fushou Gao in Beijing. I also heard that the residue of Baqi Fushou Gao is used on war horses.  magical effect.  The old traitor Shang suddenly discovered that Fatty Lu, who had abducted his precious daughter and had already made her belly big, was actually very good, and barely worthy of his precious daughter.

    Thinking of this, the old traitor Shang immediately turned to his confidant and asked, "Jin Guang, I heard that when Wanyi and that bastard surnamed Lu officially got married, Zhixin gave them a generous gift and said that he would continue to recognize Wanyi as a  Sister, you also recognize this brother-in-law surnamed Lu, is there such a thing?"

    "Returning to the prince, there is indeed such a thing." Jin Guang nodded, thinking that you are an old man, why are you asking this hypocritically?  The last time your second son gave your eldest son eye drops, didn't he already tell you about it?  You seemed to lose your temper at that time, didn't you?

    "Zhixin is not bad. He doesn't hate the poor and doesn't love the rich. He has the character of an old man." The old traitor Shang praised his eldest son, completely forgetting that after he heard about it last time, he immediately scolded his eldest son Shang Zhi  Xin is an unfilial son of a bitch, he deliberately wants to piss himself off!

    "Go." After boasting, the old traitor Shang immediately ordered: "Send someone to find Zhixin, and ask him to come see me immediately."

    "My lord, don't you need to send someone?" Jin Guang smiled wryly and said, "I just received the report. After hearing the news about Qu Jing, the eldest prince is already packing up and saluting to go to Yunnan in person."

    "Really?" The old traitor Shang was overjoyed in his heart, and said with a smile: "This kid is really vigorous and resolute, he really looks like Lao Tzu! But I still have to call him here. Since he is going to visit my sister, let him bring me a few  A word to Wanyi, let Wanyi go back to her mother's house to have a look when she has time."

    The news passed from east to north, and reached the ears of Geng Jimao, the Prince of Jingnan in Fuzhou, and Geng Jingzhong, the son of Prince Jingnan.  Hearing this news, Prince Jingnan was still quite reserved, and said to his son: "Send an envoy to Yunnan and ask Wu Sangui to get us some seeds of Eight Banners medicine for the sake of our family friends Geng and Wu.  Try planting and see if it can be grown in Fujian."

    "Father, don't be so stupid!" Geng Jingzhong jumped three feet high and shouted: "It's not like you don't know how selfish and stingy that old Wu Sangui is! Send an envoy over to say hello, and he will give us this  My baby? Besides, even if we have seeds, is it a waste of energy if we don¡¯t know how to plant them?¡±

    "Then what do you say?" Geng Jimao asked his son for advice.

    "I'll go there myself and bring some farmers with me!" Geng Jingzhong roared: "I not only want to get seeds from him, but also how to grow the Eight Banners medicine!"

 Chapter 104 Crazy (Part 1)

    ?

    "It's broken, I forgot that no one has hyped it these days, I'm hyping it too hard!"

    Looking at the mountains of letters and official documents on the desk, the oily sweat on Fatty Lu's fat face could not help but flow down like a waterfall, and he began to regret that he deliberately hyped too much, letting too many people know that Qujing planted the Eight Banners  News of the success of the drug.  I even regret that my conscience is too good. In order to let the people taste the sweetness, I charged too high a purchase price for the Baqi drug cream grown by the people, and forced the profiteers to also raise the purchase price.  A few more barrels of gasoline, diesel and lubricating oil were poured on the raging fire, and now it is self-defeating.

    "Dogmatism kills people!" Fatty Lu lamented again, regretting that he used the experience of later warlords to make a fool of himself, and did everything he could to expand production and expansion.  In India one hundred years later, people all over the world still don¡¯t know the poisonous nature of Baqi Fushou Gao. They only know that Baqi Fushou Gao is a good medicine for curing diseases, an elixir for refreshing the mind, strengthening yang and tonifying the kidney. It is still there in Europe.  The Baqi drug cream has just become popular, there is a price but no market, the demand is far greater than the supply, the price and profit are seriously inflated, high enough to scare the common people to death, and high enough to drive every businessman and official crazy!

    Under such circumstances, Fatty Lu¡¯s deliberate hype is of course adding fuel to the flames, deliberately raising the purchase price to let the people taste the sweetness, it is equivalent to pouring dozens of tons of gasoline into the crater that is about to erupt.  It's hard not to explode!  ¡ª¡ªBut this is also a doomed thing sooner or later. Even if Fatty Lu doesn't deliberately hype, and his heart is a little darker, and he joins hands with medicinal material dealers to suck blood from the people at a price of one penny and one tael, such a thing is destined to happen.  Even if this world doesn't have Fatty Lu, a traveler who changed history, such a thing is destined to happen on the land of Yunnan in more than a hundred years at the latest.

    This kind of thing is of course crazy, crazy desire for the seeds in Fatty Lu's hand, the seeds of Eight Banners drug ointment!  There is also the planting technology of Eight Banners Fushou Ointment!  Among the frantically eager crowd, there are every chieftain and headman in Yunnan and Guizhou, every official and general in Yunnan and Guizhou.  The Pingxi Palace is directly under the jurisdiction of Prince Pingxi, and everyone is under the command of Prince Pingxi. They are connected by flesh and blood, brothers and feet are united, and broken bones are connected to tendons. You Fatty Lu has such a good thing, shouldn't you share it with us?

    Not only in Guizhou, Yunnan, Qujing Mansion borders Guangxi, although the Kong Sizhen faction in Guangxi has enmity with Fatty Lu, but the factions of Line Guoan, Ma Xiong and Dai Liangchen in Guangxi have no enmity with Fatty Lu, and the two factions of Line Guoan and Ma Xiong  , Also, the Pingxi Palace has always had a good relationship. He helped Wu Sangui contain Kong Sizhen a lot in the open and in the dark.  old general?

    Except for these three provinces, Zhou Zhaonan, the governor of Hunan Province, was not ashamed to ask, and sent an autographed letter to Fatty Lu in an expedited six hundred miles, asking Fatty Lu, who is a scholar of heaven and man, whether Hunan can grow good things like Eight Banners drug ointment?  I also want to ask whether this kind of good thing should be planted in any way. Can you send someone to Qujing to learn it?  Zhang Dedi, the governor of Sichuan, and Zhang Zhongcheng also urgently sent the official document six hundred miles away. The content was similar, and he said that if Sichuan was also suitable for planting, then Zhang Zhongcheng would send a third-rank official like Lang Yanxiang, the chief minister of Sichuan, to the territory in person to discuss with Fatty Lu face to face.  event.

    What makes Fatty Lu dumbfounded is that Jackie Chan, the magistrate of Hezhou, Sichuan, which is close to Guizhou, also wrote a letter, praising Fatty Lu for his incorruptibility, loving the people like a son, and leading the people of Qujing to get rid of poverty and become rich.  Carefully inquired¡ª¡ªCan the people of Hezhou use this method to get rid of poverty and become rich?  If he can, Jackie Chan will humbly learn from this junior, Fatty Lu

    Fortunately, these officials were dismissed. After all, Fatty Lu was not under their jurisdiction. Even if they refused, they would have nothing to do with him for a while, but Fatty Lu couldn¡¯t just ignore Fatty Lu when he came from Guangdong and Fujian.  Hearing the news that his elder brother Shang Zhixin would come to Qujing to visit him in person, Fatty Lu's wife Shang Wanyi shed tears on the spot and was extremely excited; Geng Jingzhong, the son of Jingnan Prince, came to Qujing in person, accompanied by Wu Sangui's cousin Zu Ze  Pu's own son Zu Liangqin!  These people, are Fatty Lu able to dismiss them casually?

    Things have come to this point, looking at the Eight Banners drug seeds purchased at a low price, Fatty Lu no longer has the feeling of looking at gold of the same weight, but feels that he is looking at explosives of the same weight, which is the most powerful black sorkin explosive, which may happen at any time.  Fry the fat all over Lu Fatty until there is not even a crumb left.  The idea of ??using these seeds to make a fortune has also been completely dispelled. With the madness of these dogs biting, selling seeds indiscriminately is a disaster!

    Fatty Lu is worried here, he just logged inNext year it will all be handed over to you, and all of them will be planted with Eight Banners blessings.  In addition, get me a thousand catties of seeds and a few people who know how to grow the Eight Banners medicine, and I will take them back to Kunming to plant my fief over Dianchi Lake.  "

    "One thousand catties?" Fatty Lu's eyes widened, and he said with a wry smile, "Second Prince, then you should cut off the lower officials directly. The seeds harvested by the lower officials this year are less than one thousand catties in total."

    "Then I want five hundred catties." Wu Yingqi replied firmly.

    "I want three hundred catties!" Ma Bao raised three fingers.

    "Lord Lu, Dali is your hometown. You can't just watch the people in your hometown continue to be poor, right?" Cui Su, the prefect of Dali who had already regretted his resignation as the prefect of Qujing, stepped forward, pulled Fatty Lu by the sleeve and begged: "  Master Lu, this time you have to bring me at least two hundred catties of seeds, so that I can benefit your hometown."

    "Brother Lu, I want three hundred catties too!" Shen Yingshi, the general of Yunnan Zuozhen who was stationed in Wuding, also raised three fingers.

    "Both Qianzhen and Zuozhen are 300 catties, so our Houzhen should also have 300 catties?" Yang Wu, the general soldier of Houzhen stationed in Erhai Lake, asked even more bluntly.

    The commanders-in-chief of the front, rear and left three towns of the four major military regions of Pingxi Palace all stretched out their hands, but Wang Fuchen, the commander-in-chief of Youzhen, did not speak - because he was stationed in Qujing, but it was precisely because of this that Fatty Lu became more and more angry.  Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he said: "Three soldiers, each of you has 300 catties, and the total is 900 catties. The seeds in the hands of the lower officials are not enough for you to share. What else do you want to share with the second prince and other local prefectures?  "

    "Why don't you save more?" Wu Yingqi complained.  Other local officials rushed forward, this one pulling Fatty Lu's sleeve for friendship, and the other one pulling Fatty Lu's hand in hand, scrambling to get some more seeds from Fatty Lu.  Fortunately, Wu Sangui, the boss of Pingxi Palace, was present, and he opened his mouth to relieve Fatty Lu: "Okay, okay, don't make things difficult for Yifeng, the matter of the seeds, let's talk about it when Xingyuan settles down."

    After drinking away the crowd, Wu Sangui glanced at Fatty Lu again, and said casually and threateningly: "What are you all anxious about? Yifeng is an orphan, and he was handpicked by the orphan's son. I don't believe it, Baqi  Seeds of Fushou Gao - the treasure that grows on our Yunnan soil! Will he use it to make others cheaper?"  , support genuine reading!) (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com

    (ps: The 7,000-word chapter is updated again, asking for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets.)

    Wu Sangui¡¯s house was arranged in the original Yamen of the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. After Bian Sanyuan moved his residence to Guiyang in the third year of Kang Mazi in the former Qing Dynasty, the house became vacant. However, for the convenience of Bian Sanyuan taking charge of Yunnan¡¯s civil affairs, the house has always been paid by the governor¡¯s yamen.  Hiring someone to clean and manage it, it was quite clean and tidy. When Wu Sangui came to Qujing, he did his part to live in this house. Fatty Lu, of course, saved a lot of expenses.

    After settling down, of course it was a banquet. As the host, Fatty Lu was not only the one who paid for the banquet, but also the protagonist of the banquet. He was surrounded by dozens of wolves and hungry tigers from the Pingxi Palace.  Needless to say, the Liuli workshop that Fatty Lu is building is also the object of all the hungry wolves in the Pingxi Palace. They all want to take away the glaze calcination process and earning silver from Fatty Lu.  Fast glass mirror manufacturing process.

    Fortunately, Fatty Lu had discussed the Liuli Workshop with Wu Sangui a long time ago, and Wu Sangui immediately expressed his position directly, telling everyone not to think about the Liuli Workshop, saying that he had decided to build a huge construction site on Nule Peak, dedicated to  It is used to produce colored glaze, which is under the direct jurisdiction of Fatty Lu, and heavy troops will be sent to protect it, so as to prevent the leakage of colored glaze craftsmanship.  Hearing such words, the wolves and hungry tigers in the Pingxi Palace had no choice but to back down obediently, and Ma Bao, the roughest, wailed, "San Hao, why don't you go to Chuxiong to be the county magistrate? If you go to Chuxiong, Feng Su (the prefect of Chuxiong)  ) That bastard dares to talk to you, I'll chop him up right away!"

    "That's right, it would be great if Yifeng went to Erhai to become a magistrate." "Wrong, it should be better to be a magistrate in Wuding." Yang Wu and Shen Yingshi also wailed and echoed.  Only Wang Fuchen was extremely embarrassed, because of his friendship with Li Shizu, when Li Shizu and Lu Fatty were fighting, he was secretly on Li Shizu's side-now that Wang Fuchen looked back, he naturally felt that his position at that time  It is foolish to choose, and you don't know the blessing when you are in the blessing.

    "Generals and lords, please stop boasting." Fatty Lu blushed rarely, and said, "If you continue to boast, I will feel ashamed."

    "Okay, you all don't bully Yifeng, let him go for now." Wu Yingqi came out to smooth things over, drove away the wolves and tigers surrounding Fatty Lu, and said to Fatty Lu in a low voice: "Yifeng, speaking of this, Qu Jing  I have to ask you for your opinion on the position of prefect, and now dozens of people have come to me to seek an official position, all wanting to be the prefect of Qujing, and Zhang Gaomo is also trying to get rid of the word "acting"  , Take over as the prefect of Qujing on the spot, what do you mean? Do you want Zhang Gaomo to stay, or I will give you the list, and we will discuss and choose a prefect of Qujing?"

    "What else?" Fatty Lu was stunned, and said in a low voice: "Isn't there no one who was willing to take over as the prefect of Qujing before? Zhang Gaomo was also looking for ways to transfer away, and he didn't want to stay in Qujing. Why did he change his mind now?  gone?"

    "Isn't it because of your Eight Banners Fushou cream?" Wu Yingqi grinned and said, "No one dared to take over as the prefect of Qujing before. They were all frightened by the incident between you and Li Suzu. They were afraid that they would not have a good life in Qujing.  I can't offend you. Now that you have made so much money from the Eight Banners Fushou Gao planted by the people, even if you don't scrape the land and don't collect money when you come to Qujing, you can make a lot of money just by collecting fire consumption and merchant taxes. Of course these people  I am willing to come to Qujing. Even if I don¡¯t dare to tell you what to do, I will accept your anger as your third grandson, who cares if I can earn money?¡±

    "Second prince, the lower officials are not as scary as you said." Fatty Lu protested: "The prince asked me to bring him down about Li Suzu, so I made such a big fuss with him.  Get yourself into it too."

    "Hehe, I know you have merit, but you really scare the other magistrates. Burning incense and worshiping Buddha is afraid that there will be a magistrate like you under your rule, and you will not be able to provoke him." Wu Yingqi smiled, and said: "Don't talk nonsense.  Now, the prefect of Qujing must hurry up. Now I am in charge of the selection of officials at the state level. If the time is too long and people from the court snatch me away, then my father will have to skin me. If you think Zhang Gaomo can still  If it¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll keep him for you, if not, I¡¯ll choose another one for you.¡±

    "But you don't have to worry." Wu Yingqi added: "I will definitely choose an obedient and honest person to come over, and I will say hello to him. If he doesn't listen to you, I will make him look good!"

    "This, let me think about it." Fatty Lu calculated carefully, and then glanced at Zhang Gaomo in the distance, seeing him sitting obediently in the back row, drinking and eating with Feng Su and others at the same level,  He didn't even dare to take a breath, and when he thought of Zhang Gaomo's grandson who bowed his head in front of him for the past two months, Fatty Lu felt confident.

    "Just open your mouth for anything, and give it to you with all your might.  "

    "Thank you, my lord." Fatty Lu was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted Wu Sangui¡ªDuring this period, Fatty Lu and Wang Jing jointly built a temporary construction site at Sanchakou Fort, and they had secretly researched concentrated sulfuric acid, concentrated nitric acid and cement, etc.  Industrial necessities, as long as the output of these things can be increased, Fatty Lu can flex his muscles.

    "You don't need to thank you. The things you want Nu Lefeng to make are also things that I need urgently. I also want to thank you." Wu Sangui waved his hand generously, and said: "Say what you want, what reward do you want?  Try to be satisfied!"

    "The humble position will make the lion speak loudly." Fatty Lu said cautiously: "My lord, can you use money to buy the more than 800 catties of Eight Banners Fushou Ointment seeds in the hands of the humble position?"

    "Huh?" Wu Sangui was startled, then slapped his head violently, and said with a smile, "Look at Gu's memory, you collected the seeds of the Eight Banners' fortune ointment from the people yourself, how could Gu want you for nothing?  Well, the 50,000 taels of silver you borrowed from Gu more than two months ago, Gu don't want it, it's your reward."

    "Your Highness rewards me generously, and I dare not refuse my humble job." Fatty Lu respectfully said, "However, my Highness misunderstood the meaning of my humble job. The Eight Banners Fushou Ointment has been sold at a high price in Guangzhou, and the seeds collected for hundreds of taels of silver, how dare I ask my Highness for this humble job?"  Collect the capital? I just hope that the lord can buy all the more than 800 catties of seeds in the hands of the humble official at the original price of two taels of silver a catty tomorrow in front of everyone!"

    "Use the original price of two taels of silver per catty? Buy all the seeds in your hand?" Wu Sangui was confused and said, "What's the point?"

    "My lord, the student understands what Master Lu means." Wang Shirong turned his face away, and said with a straight face: "My lord, you don't need to buy all the seeds at the original price. How will Mr. Lu explain to the court? How to explain to the emperor? ¡ª¡ªMy lord can  Don't forget, Mr. Lu is the person sent by the emperor to watch over you, my lord, if you are not cruel to Mr. Lu, the emperor should not be suspicious of Mr. Lu?"

    "So that's how it is." Wu Sangui finally understood, and after snorting angrily a few times, Wu Sangui nodded and said, "Okay, Gu will forcefully buy your seeds tomorrow, and let you be in Ma in front of our emperor."  There is an explanation."

    "Thank you, my lord, for understanding the difficulties of a humble job." Fatty Lu thanked him respectfully, but he snorted coldly in his heart, "Old traitor Wu, do you think I can take advantage of me so easily? You took my seed and got into my boat  , first used it as a shield for Lao Tzu, and then made Xiao Mazi jealous, and in the future, once the poison of Eight Banners drugs is revealed, Xiao Mazi orders a ban on smoking and cuts off your financial resources, so you and your wolves and hungry tigers are still not allowed to jump?"

    (ps: Thank you "Brother Chrysanthemum" for your generous reward, and I have the cheek to ask all rich friends to follow suit.)

    Because of the difference in speed, Kong Sizhen's prison car had just been taken to Hunan, and Wang Xu's investigation report had already been delivered to Xiao Mazi in the capital.  Seeing Jie Shu's ugly report in Qujing, Xiao Mazi will inevitably be furious, scolding Kong Sizhen for being a lawless bitch, for taking personal grievances for her own sake, and for framing Zhongliang!  He even scolded Li Suzu for being so bold that he dared to fabricate evidence to slander his colleagues for treason and usurpation. The nature of the crime and the serious consequences were simply the worst in the founding of the Qing Dynasty!  Even if he was cut by a thousand knives or ten thousand knives, it would not be able to dispel the hatred in Xiao Mazi's heart!

    Li Suzu must be dealt with seriously, even for the sake of his ancestors, he can be spared the crimes of poisoning the people, disregarding human life, and taking bribes, and even the crime of slandering his boss Lin Tianqing for accepting bribes, but he  Xiao Mazi will never forgive him for using the one-eyed stone man to frame his colleagues, and no Qing official will agree that Xiao Mazi spared Li Shizu¡ªthis precedent has been set, and everyone in the officialdom will  If you follow suit, the world will be in chaos, right?  So there is no way, Li Suzu must die, even if he is crazy, he can die and apologize, and all the families will be executed!

    It is easy to make up your mind to kill Li Shizu who came from an outdated family, but it is difficult to make up your mind to kill Kong Sizhen. Everyone knows the importance of Kong Sizhen in Xiaomazi's San Francisco strategy, and what is even more rare is Kong Sizhen's loyalty to the Qing court.  Over the years, if Kong Sizhen hadn¡¯t held back Guangxi, with Sun Yanling and Dai Liangchen¡¯s abilities, Guangxi would have been swallowed up by Wu Sangui like Guizhou.  ?  How could Xiaozhuang be willing to kill her just like that?

    Fortunately, Kong Sizhen's behavior has not yet reached the point where Wang Xu asked Wang to order the flag to cut her off first, so Xiao Mazi and Xiao Zhuang immediately sent their confidant guards to fly south to pass the decree, and asked Wang Xu to escort her publicly.  In order to be escorted secretly, Kong Sizhen was exempted from the prison car, and handed over to the guards who passed the decree to secretly escort him to the capital, where he was personally interrogated by Xiao Mazi and Xiaozhuang.  At the same time, Xiao Mazi ordered that the Kong Sizhen case was related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Thirteenth Yamen as an excuse, and demanded that Wang Xu not release the memorial and proof of guilt related to the Kong Sizhen case, but must send it directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then the Ministry of Internal Affairs directly submitted it to Xiao Mazi.

    Seeing this imperial decree on the dock of the Yangtze River, Kong Sizhen's beautiful face, which had been gloomy for a long time, suddenly burst into laughter, knowing that she would not die, and had another chance to seek revenge from her old enemy Fatty Lu.  However, Wang Xu gloomily cast down his thin face, which he liked to put on a straight face, knowing that it would be the same as many times, the case was solved but the perpetrator could not be punished, and the damned person escaped.  But there is no way, under the enslavement education brainwashed by Mite Qing, even Wang Xu and Xiao Mazi did not dare to disobey Xiao Mazi's will, so they could only hand over Kong Sizhen to the imperial guards sent by Xiao Mazi according to the order, and watched her helplessly.  After leaving a few harsh words, he left proudly.

    Everyone knows what kind of temper and hobbies Kong Sizhen has. In order to thank the imperial guards sent by Xiao Mazi for their rescue, it is inevitable to give a lot of flesh in return along the way.  Kong Sizhen, who enjoyed the blessings of all people, was not in a hurry to hurry, and when he arrived in the capital all the way, it was already the end of September in the seventh year of Kang Mazi.

    After entering the capital, of course, Xiao Mazi pleaded guilty. As a precautionary measure, Kong Sizhen asked Li Xu and Cao Yin, who were close to her, to send the news of her return to the capital to Xiaozhuang¡ªthe purpose was nothing more than to let Xiao Zhuang  Xiao Zhuang knew that his goddaughter was back, so he had to show up when it was time to show up, lest Xiao Mazi get angry and cut himself off with a knife.  After finishing all this, Kong Sizhen ran to the Xihua Gate and handed over a sign to ask for an interview, and after the waist card was handed over to the palace, there was a reply soon, and Xiao Mazi summoned him in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

    Hearing the place of the summoning, Kong Sizhen breathed a sigh of relief again, knowing that Xiao Mazi still planned to cover up for herself¡ªotherwise, he should be summoned in the Qianqing Palace or the Three Great Halls where the government is formally discussed for public conviction.  Feeling relieved, Kong Sizhen hurriedly followed Cao Yin into the palace, all the way to the outside of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Xiao Mazi sent an order to let Kong Sizhen enter the palace, Kong Sizhen didn't dare to neglect, and quickly entered the palace again, after entering the palace, even who was there in the main hall?  They didn't dare to take a peek, so they just knelt and kowtowed in the middle, and shouted respectfully: "My slave, the second-class guard Kong Sizhen, kowtow to my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

    "This Lu Yifeng really made me admire him more and more." Xiao Mazi didn't pay attention to Kong Sizhen at all, but said to someone, "I'm regretting it now, if I knew he would be there,  He should not have been sent to Qujing if he had done such a major event, he should have been sent to other provinces. Well now, the major event he is doing in Qujing will benefit Wu Sangui by the way."

    &nbspDo I still have to blame him for not doing this?  Then how do I explain to the people of Yunnan?  What do people in the world think of me?  That's all!  In the future, if you continue to sow discord and frame Lu Aiqing in me, I will never forgive you lightly!  "

    I can't blame Xiao Mazi for being too gullible in Fatty Lu. The main reason is that in this era, besides Fatty Lu, there is no other person who knows the huge poison and terrifying power of Baqi drug cream, so Xiao Mazi didn't take this matter too seriously.  But of course, I'm definitely a little upset about Fatty Lu's move.

    "Slave obeys the order." Kong Sizhen agreed helplessly, scolding Fatty Lu in his heart for being a fat cockroach that can't be beaten to death.  Just when Kong Sizhen felt helpless and resentful, Cao Yin suddenly rushed in from outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, stumbled and lost his dignity, and shouted out of breath as soon as he entered the hall: "Your Majesty, it's a big deal!"  Not good, not good!"

    "You dog slave! Give me some decency, do you also want to be sent to Xihuamen as an errand?" Xiao Mazi scolded impatiently: "What's wrong? Seriously, the sky won't fall!"

    "Your majesty, it's not good." Cao Yin yelled palely, making Xiao Mazi jump up immediately, "The commander of the infantry, the commander of the Yamen, the admiral of the Nine Gates, Wu Liuyi, Wu Junmen, died of a sudden illness in the Yamen.  Death! The deputy capital commander, General Murima, received the urgent report and immediately ordered the yamen to be surrounded, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Please send officials and imperial physicians to investigate the cause of Wu Junmen's death!"

    "Death from a sudden illness?!" Xiao Mazi, Kong Sizhen and others all stared wide-eyed, saying that they couldn't believe that Wu Liuyi, who has always been physically strong, would die of a sudden illness for no reason.  At the same time, Xiao Mazi and the others had another thought in their hearts, "Mulima surrounded the yamen and strictly prohibited anyone from entering or leaving. Is it really for the convenience of investigation?!"

    By the way, I would like to remind all friends who may have forgotten that when a certain scourge told a story to General Murima before, it seemed that a certain general surnamed Wu was mentioned, who was an important assistant for the young king to deal with the old general Gua.

 Chapter 107 Miyoshi Gunpowder

    ?

    Wu Sangui took the Eight Banners Fushou Ointment seeds that Fatty Lu offered with both hands, and went back to Kunming happily. The lackeys of Pingxi Palace and jackals and leopards also happily followed back to share the spoils, but Liu Xuanchu knew very well that the seeds were only so small, peeping  There are so many people there, and when they return to Kunming, there will be a lot of noise in the Pingxi Palace, so they don't bother to go to the water, and they use the excuse that the construction of the Nule Peak military camp needs people from the Pingxi Palace to preside over the construction, so they volunteered to Wu Sangui to ask for help.  The errand asked to stay in Qujing temporarily.

    Although Fatty Lu proposed the construction of the Nule Peak barracks, since Fatty Lu also has an identity as the eyeliner sent by Xiao Mazi to monitor Wu Sangui, it is really inconvenient for Fatty Lu to publicly appear on the construction of the barracks, so considering this point, Wu Sangui is very happy.  He readily agreed to Liu Xuanchu's request.  To Liu Xuanchu's surprise, Wang Shirong also proposed to stay in Qujing for a while to help Liu Xuanchu supervise the construction of the Nule Peak Camp. Wu Sangui immediately agreed upon hearing this¡ªFatty Lu is Liu Xuanchu's favorite student, and the master and apprentice teamed up to create anger  Although the Lefeng camp would not join forces to engage in private fraud and embezzle public funds, but Wang Shirong, who had always been at odds with the master and apprentice, volunteered to watch here, so Wu Sangui was of course more at ease.

    "Mr. Liangchen, what about it?" After sending Wu Sangui's team away, Liu Xuanchu took the opportunity and asked Wang Shirong with a wry smile: "Who am I, Liu Maoya, don't you know? Don't you think I will join hands with my disciples?"  , Embezzling the king¡¯s camp construction money? It seems that the money for building the Nule Peak camp was directly paid from my student Lu Yifeng, right?"

    "Is Mr. Maoya too narrow-minded? Am I, Wang Shirong, that kind of person?" The crow laughed at the black pig, and Wang Shirong snorted coldly, pouted at Wu Sangui's team that had gone far away, and said with a sneer, "Same as Mr. Maoya,  I also want to stay in Qujing to avoid trouble, otherwise, go back to Qujing to divide the seeds, say a wrong sentence casually, give less to one person and give more to another person, and immediately offend them, and I am too lazy to argue with them.  It's better to hide in Qujing and wait for the limelight to pass before going back."

    "Mr. Liangchen is really clever. Anyway, when we return to Kunming this time, the prince's place is full of excitement. We don't want to join in the excitement, and it's better not to watch the excitement." Liu Xuanchu laughed, and then he realized that Wang Shirong and himself thought of going together.  .

    "But Maoya, don't be too happy too soon." Wang Shirong said coldly: "By the way, Mr. Maoya, please inform Gao Tu that although the Nule Peak camp was built with money from him, it will still be built from him in the future.  He deducted from the fifty thousand taels of silver he borrowed from the prince, but in the final analysis it is still the prince's silver, so if he uses these silvers, or if he does nothing, wastes money and wastes money to set up the Nule Peak Camp, he still gets nothing in the end, and the gain outweighs the loss.  Then I still want to invite the prince and ask him for an explanation!"

    After finishing speaking, Wang Shirong turned his head and left, leaving Liu Xuanchu shaking his head and smiling wryly, completely helpless with Wang Shirong's bear temper.

    Wang Shirong's mind is indeed a little small, but his ability to handle affairs is not enough. With the help of him and Liu Xuanchu, when he started to build the Nule Peak Camp, Fatty Lu was obviously much more relaxed, except for recruiting civilian husbands and borrowing slaves from An Shixian  In addition to supplementing manpower, Fatty Lu can wholeheartedly guide the workers to build the blast furnace, plan and arrange various construction sites, and hoard all kinds of useful materials. There is no need to worry about the rest, and the progress of the project has also been greatly accelerated.  By the end of October, the Nule Peak camp had begun to take shape, and the temporary construction site near Sanchakou Fort was completely relocated. The workers and construction sites were all moved to Nule Peak, and the safety factor and confidentiality factor were greatly improved.

    The rapid progress of the project is of course related to the cement newly developed by Fatty Lu. The temporary construction site near Sanchakou Fort started working day and night, crushing and calcining the limestone and clay that can be found everywhere in Qujing, and then adding gypsum to grind it finely to produce high-quality cement.  Youwumei's original cement was transported to the camp of Nule Peak on the banks of the Niulan River 20 miles away, where it was cast into concrete cement slabs or used to bond blue bricks to build the first batch of man-made cement houses in the world.  The world's first man-made concrete field was produced.

    Of course, because the first batch of concrete houses in the world were built by Lu Fatty, this has also become the point that later generations of mites attack Lu Fatty crazily-destroying the environment, and it is the chief culprit for the flood of unsightly concrete forests!  At the same time, when producing concrete cement slabs, in view of the high price and scarcity of steel bars, Fatty Lu cut corners and replaced steel bars with bamboo poles to mass-produce cement slabs with bamboo poles that were quite strong in the cold weapon era.  He became the patriarch who cut corners and cut materials in the construction industry of later generations, and was worshiped by countless real estate developers, vying to follow suit.

    During this period, Fatty Lu¡¯s brother-in-law Shang Zhixin actually came to Qujing to visit his sister and brother-in-law once. After repeatedly persuading Fatty Lu to be transferred to Guangdong to no avail, he heard that all the seeds of the Eight Banners medicine had fallen.Rong Rong and Liu Xuanchu invited the shield to wait and see, and Fatty Lu personally led the craftsmen to operate it carefully.

    In fact, as long as you know the principle and the method of safe production, the old Nuo brand gunpowder is still very simple. First pour the nitric acid into a small glass jar immersed in cold water at the bottom of your waist, add a small amount of natural baking soda to neutralize it, and then slowly pour it into  For sulfuric acid, stir it evenly with a glass rod, then add glycerin more slowly, and stir for about ten minutes. After it stabilizes, it will become the famous and extremely dangerous nitroglycerin.  In the end, Fatty Lu, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, used a straw to absorb a very small amount of nitroglycerin as the primer, and then added diatomaceous earth into the nitroglycerin. After the diatomaceous earth completely absorbed the nitroglycerin, he became even more famous and incomparable.  Safe old Noble dynamite.

    Put the old Nuo brand gunpowder into two small wooden boxes, holding one small wooden box, Fatty Lu couldn't even close his mouth with a smile, while Wang Shirong and Liu Xuanchu took the other small wooden box and looked left and right, really don't understand what this thing is  The power is there.  Under their strong request, Fatty Lu took out a catty of Lao Nuo brand gunpowder and stuffed it into a thin iron can, then put the iron can between two big stones, hung a stone on the top of the iron can, tied the stone  Pull out the rope for half a mile and fix it, then make a depression in the thin iron tank under the stone, pour in the liquid nitroglycerin used to detonate, and finally run away and hide in a safe place.

    "Everyone, please keep your eyes wide open, don't blink, let's witness the moment of a miracle together!" With a coquettish shout, Fatty Lu cut the rope himself, and the stone hanging from one end of the rope fell to the ground with precision.  Hitting on nitroglycerin ?

    "Boom!" There was an earth-shattering loud noise, and the entire Nule Peak seemed to be shaking from its roots, and gravel and mud were flying all over the sky. Although Fatty Lu and the others were hiding half a mile away, they were also shaken by the shock and stood up.  Unsteady, and his whole body was drenched with gravel and mud all over his head and face.

    "Ouch!" It was also retribution. Later, the first explosion of gunpowder, which brutally killed countless soldiers of the Qing Dynasty and was hailed as the Sanhao brand, caused a fist-sized stone to fly half a mile away, hitting Lu Xun impartially.  On the fat man's forehead, Fatty Lu screamed like a pig being killed, and a big bump quickly swelled up on his forehead.

    Liu Xuanchu and Wang Shirong were not in the mood to care about the pitiful appearance of Fatty Lu. As soon as the gunpowder smoke cleared, they rushed to the scene of the explosion with a few craftsmen.  The bluestone weighing more than a hundred catties was blown to pieces on the spot, and the gravel flew out for half a mile around the explosion point, scattered all over the place, and the tin cans used to hold the new-style gunpowder did not even contain slag.  There is only a little iron powder and iron filings sunk deep into the blast pit more than a foot deep, and it is almost impossible to find it.

    "Oh my God! How powerful are Westerners' gunpowder?! It's dozens or even hundreds of times more powerful than our gunpowder!" Wang Shirong was the first to shout palely.

    "Mr. Wang, I was the first to research this kind of gunpowder, and it doesn't exist in the West." Fatty Lu protested shamelessly.

    "Three good things!" Liu Xuanchu suddenly hugged Fatty Lu, and shouted frantically: "We have hope! We have hope! With this thing, the prince has hope, and we also have hope!"

    "It's just that it's too troublesome to ignite the fire. It can be used to blow up the enemy's city wall, but I'm afraid it won't work on the field battlefield." Wang Shirong said regretfully.  At the end, Wang Shirong suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Lu, is this thing expensive to make? How many times is it more expensive than gunpowder?"

    "The current cost is of course expensive, but after mass production, it will definitely be cheaper, and it should not exceed twice the price of ordinary gunpowder." Fatty Lu replied seriously: "As for the problem of detonation, neither my mentor nor Mr. Wang need to worry about it.  Start researching the detonator specially used for detonation, and then it can be used not only on the battlefield, but also on explosive shells, sowe all hate those people so much and have a good drink!"

    Wang Shirong was tongue-tied, and after a long time, Wang Shirong turned his face away and said, "Lord Lu, you are indeed a priceless treasure bestowed to us by the heavens in the Pingxi Palace!"

    "Sanhao, the detonator, the detonator you are talking about!" Liu Xuanchu excitedly shook Fatty Lu in his arms, and yelled, "Get it done! Get it out for me! I want to take it back to Kunming and let the prince see it with his own eyes.  How powerful is the three good gunpowder! Let the prince make it, let the prince make a lot of it!"

    "Teacher, don't worry, Kunming City can't be built in a day, these things have to be done slowly." Fatty Lu said: "First of all, I will of course make a detonator, let the prince see the power of the new gunpowder, and strengthen his will."  Confidence. Then I've got to figure out how to mass-produce this gunpowder. And then I've got to work on artillery and propellants, and then"

    "And then what?" Liu Xuanchu asked impatiently.

    "After that, of course there are mortars and gas bombs." Fatty Lu replied with a smile: "With detonators, new gunpowder and propellant, I hope to create a weapon that can be carried by a person, but the power is far away.  The mortar on top of the Hongyi Cannon! Another gas bomb, I am sure to produce at least two kinds of gas bombs, which can kill the enemy invisible!

 Chapter 108 The Opportunity Comes

    ?

    (ps: It's the end of the month, ask for the last monthly pass in August.)

    Full of curiosity, he went up to the side of Nule Peak, tossed and tossed for a long time, and when he descended to the foot of Nule Peak full of hope, Wang Jing, the guard of the Nule Peak Camp, stopped Fatty Lu, Liu Xuanchu and Wang Shirong.  Seeing the happy smiles on the faces of Fatty Lu and the three of them, Wang Jing couldn't help asking curiously: "Mr. Liu, Mr. Wang, Brother Lu, what were you doing on the mountain just now? Why did we hear a loud noise at the bottom of the mountain just now? What happened on the mountain?"  What's wrong?"

    "It's nothing, we are experimenting with a new type of gunpowder, and we plan to dedicate it to the prince for firecrackers and fireworks during the New Year." Fatty Lu explained vaguely, and then said: "Second brother Wang, you must explain this to the following, so that they don't go out blind  It is said that the road up the mountain must be sealed off, and outsiders are absolutely not allowed to go up the mountain, and craftsmen are not allowed to go out at will, and the army will directly provide what they want.¡±

    "Of course, the prince has issued a strict order, and the second brother doesn't dare to play around with his own head." Wang Jing nodded, and said: "Just like just now, the prince sent an emergency messenger from Kunming, saying that he would meet immediately.  Seeing you, because I didn¡¯t expect you to happen to be on Nule Peak Mountain, and he didn¡¯t bring the prince¡¯s warrant to allow him to go up the mountain, so I didn¡¯t dare to let him in, I just asked him to wait outside the camp temporarily.¡±

    "The prince sent an emergency messenger? Do you want to see us immediately?" Fatty Lu, Liu Xuanchu and Wang Shirong were all taken aback.  People came here from Kunming.  Thinking of this, Fatty Lu and the others hurriedly said together: "Quickly, lead us to the prince's messenger."

    Hastily came to the gate of the Nule Peak camp to have a look, and what surprised Liu Xuanchu, Wang Shirong and others was that the messenger turned out to be Fang Xueshi, the grandson of Fang Yizao, Minister of Rites of the Chongzhen Dynasty, and the son of Fang Guangchen, Wu Sangui's confidant!  If Wu Sangui or Fang Guangchen sent such a person as a messenger, there was no doubt that something serious would happen.  Liu Xuanchu and the others stepped forward to ask, and sure enough, it was the earth-shattering news in the capital¡ª¡ªWu Liuyi, the nemesis of the Ao Party and one of the most important figures of the Ma Party, died of a sudden illness!

    "Are you sure about the cause of death?" Hearing the news, Fatty Lu, Liu Xuanchu, and Wang Shirong asked in unison without batting an eyelid, "Did they die suddenly from a sudden illness? Or were they slaughtered? They faked a sudden illness."  And the illusion of death?!"

    "We don't know the specific situation, but my father thinks that Wu Junmen is most likely to die in the hands of Prime Minister Ao." Fang Xueshi answered honestly, untied the package on his back, and said, "My father asked me to collect the  I copied all the information and brought it here for your reference. In addition, the prince asked Mr. Mao Xia and Mr. Liangchen to go back to Kunming as soon as possible, and said that if you can spare the time, Mr. Lu, you can also go back to Kunming to help  The prince will analyze the situation in the capital and formulate countermeasures."

    "Okay, it's getting late now. Let's pack up tonight and return to Kunming tomorrow." Liu Xuanchu nodded, then turned to Fatty Lu and said, "Yifeng, pack up as well, and prepare to go to Kunming with us secretly. What are you good at?"  Analyzing intelligence, you will definitely be able to use your strengths at that time."

    "Student obeys." Fatty Lu nodded, and said again: "Since Brother Xueshi has brought all the collected information, I will analyze it overnight when I return to Qujing, and try to get a clue before arriving in Kunming."

    Accompanying Liu Xuanchu and the others back to Qujing in a hurry, Fatty Lu told Xiao Erlang and the others to prepare luggage, dry food and horses.  Among the various information on the June 1 violent death case, carefully study and find various useful clues, and analyze the meaning.  But it's a pity that because the case involved a lot, Xiao Mazi and Aobai both intentionally or unintentionally joined forces to block the news, so Yang Qilong, the intelligence chief of the Pingxi Palace in the capital, still didn't collect much useful information even though he was instructed by Fatty Lu  , Most of the content is trivial. Fatty Lu researched and studied, but he still didn't find much accurate information.

    First of all, the unlucky Wu Liuyi hung up around the afternoon of October 19, Kang Mazi Seven Years.  The arrow poison wood venom can poison people to death and cause the illusion of death due to heart paralysis. Moreover, this poison is infected through blood, and the wound will have obvious signs of redness and swelling, which is very easy to identify.

    But it is a pity that the autopsy results of the unlucky Wu Liuyi were tightly sealed. Neither Wu Yingxiong nor Yang Qilong could confirm whether there was such a wound on his body. Naturally, Fatty Lu could not judge whether Wu Liuyi died of  Curare poisoning.

    Second, in the first six days before Wu Liuyi's death, Kong Sizhen, who was downgraded to a third-class guard due to a crime, was decided by Xiao Mazi to stay in the capital temporarily and work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."After speaking, Wang Shirong suddenly came back to his senses and asked: "Lord Lu, isn't it right?"  Last time when you went back to Kunming to get married, Oboi sent a secret envoy to ask for an alliance with the prince, but you were against it, and you urged the prince to wait and see, and make a promise with Oboi?  "

    "That's right, I was going to ask you about this too." Liu Xuanchu also challenged the students, and asked with a smile: "Yifeng, that's not what you said last time when you explained to me that you opposed the lord's direct alliance with Obai  I remember you said at the time that you were afraid that after Oboi or Emperor Mazi won, they would take gentle measures against the prince, causing our prince to continue to muddle along and lose his ambition."

    "Master, please forgive me, and Mr. Liangchen please forgive me." Fatty Lu was a little embarrassed, and said with a slightly red face: "Last time in Kunming, I really wanted to persuade the prince to form an alliance with Obai, but I saw that the prince  He was so indecisive that he didn't dare to make up his mind to form an alliance with Oboi, so he made up that kind of nonsense to please the prince and deceive the trust of the prince. Later, Mr. Liangchen, you called me short-sighted, and the student was afraid that your teacher would be angry.  If you care about the students again, you will talk hard and forcefully, and make up your teacher's favor, and make up later nonsense to please your teacher. If the student is convicted, please be punished by your teacher and good minister."

    "Mr. Maoya, what kind of person is your student?" Wang Shirong was furious, and turned to Liu Xuanchu and asked, "Talking about people when you see people, talking nonsense when you see ghosts, is it an oiled glass marble?"

    "It's not just an oiled glazed marble? It's also an oiled fat loach!" Liu Xuanchu smiled instead of anger, and said, "But it doesn't matter, since Yifeng's nonsense can fool you and me, you still believe it, let alone us  Your lord? With his support when we return to Kunming this time, our chances of success will be greatly increased."  Read!) (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 109 Fanning the Flames

    ?

    He and Liu Xuanchu and Wang Shirong had a close talk late at night, and when they had dinner together and went back to the room to rest, it was already after the third watch at night. Although he was extremely tired, Fatty Lu still did not go back to the room to rest, but asked Xiao Erlang to take Zhu Fangdan  He was pulled out of the bed and brought to his room to talk.

    "Boss, it's almost four o'clock, why haven't you gone to bed yet?" Entering the room sleepily, Zhu Fangdan yawned and urged: "Is there anything urgent? The students are really sleepy, please tell me if you have something to do.  "

    "It's nothing serious, just delaying your rest for a while." Fatty Lu also yawned and said, "Just two things. One is that I will secretly go to Kunming tomorrow, and I will be away for a few days. I am not in Qujing.  In the days to come, the affairs of the county government will be left to you."

    "Oh, what should I say to the outside world?" Zhu Fangdan yawned one after another.

    "Let's just say I'm sick and need to rest for a few days. I've already told Erlang that I won't see anyone who comes." Fatty Lu shook his head again, trying to wake himself up, and said, "One more thing,  If I remember correctly, there seems to be a tree in Yunnan called the Arrow Poison Tree, the sap of which is extremely poisonous, Master Zhu, how much do you know about this poison?"

    "Poison arrow tree?" When it came to medical issues, Zhu Fangdan finally regained some energy, but Zhu Fangdan obviously couldn't understand the term from later generations in Fatty Lu's mouth, and asked doubtfully, "Master, what is poison arrow tree?  Is it a Western noun you saw in a Western book? Can you explain in detail, there are too many poisonous plants and trees in Yunnan, I can¡¯t remember it all at once.¡±

    "Let me think about it." Fatty Lu recalled it carefully, and said with gestures: "It seems to be a very tall tree. The sap is very poisonous. We ethnic minorities in Yunnan like to smear this poison on arrows.  It is used to shoot wild beasts, no matter how huge the beast is, it only takes one arrow to shoot, and it will die if it hits a few arrows."

    "Seeing blood to seal the throat!" Zhu Fangdan blurted out: "It must be seeing blood to seal the throat! There are many trees of this kind in Pu'er Prefecture, and other places in Yunnan, but the number is small. I heard a tree from Pu'er who came to Qujing to learn from me.  The doctor said that this kind of tree is indeed very poisonous. The leaves, trunk and roots are all highly poisonous.  If a needle coated with such poison hits someone, that person will definitely die! The only antidote is red-backed bamboo grass, but you must detoxify immediately after poisoning, otherwise once the poisonous blood enters the heart, even a god will not be able to save it.¡±

    "A poisoned needle can pierce a person to death?" Fatty Lu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Then do you know the symptoms of a poisoned person?"

    "I haven't seen it with my own eyes." Zhu Fangdan shook his head, and continued: "But I heard from the doctor's daughter who came to study medicine with me that if this kind of poison is stuck on the body, the wound will have other symptoms besides redness and swelling.  Just like a heart attack, the heart suddenly stops beating and suffocates to death. If a doctor who does not understand this kind of poison, it is easy to misjudge it as a heart attack and die suddenly."

    "Sure enough, it's exactly what I thought. Maybe Wu Liuyi died from the poison of the poisonous arrow tree." Fatty Lu was overjoyed, and then asked doubtfully, "Wait, you heard that from the daughter of the Pu'er doctor?"  ? Didn¡¯t that Pu¡¯er doctor learn medicine from you? Why did you ask his daughter for advice?¡±

    "Boss, why do you know so well?" Zhu Fangdan rarely blushed, and said coyly, "Although the doctor's family can speak Chinese, they are not Han Chinese. The girl is very enthusiastic and generous, and she sincerely wants to learn Central Plains medicine from me."  , and then Well, my boss, you know my temper. Anyway, that little girl threatened me. If I don¡¯t marry her to be a child, she will let me taste the power of blood sealing my throat, and then I will ask  Let¡¯s see what the Blood Sealing Throat is.¡±

    "Oh, no wonder there is a saying in Yunnan and Guizhou that 'If you want to learn well, you have to sleep with the master', you earned it." Fatty Lu laughed, "Remember to tell me when you are young, and I will help you."

    "Let's talk about it slowly, at least wait for her father to leave the teacher, otherwise she might not care, but there is no place for my old face." Zhu Fangdan was even more shy, and quickly changed the subject and asked: "Master, you are late at night.  He suddenly called me over and asked me what the reason for sealing my throat when I saw blood?"

    "The thing is like this. I received the news today that Wu Liuyi, the admiral of the Nine Gates in the capital, suddenly fell ill and died." Fatty Lu didn't hide anything from Zhu Fangdan, and directly told the story of Wu Liuyi's murder, and explained: "  I have also heard of the toxicity of seeing blood to seal the throat before. After being poisoned, it looks like dying of a heart attack. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s been too long and I can¡¯t remember clearly. So I¡¯m looking for you to confirm and see if Wu Liuyi may die here.  Plant poison."

    "It's possible, but I can't be sure." Zhu Fangdan said in embarrassment: "It would be great if there is a corpse (ancient autopsy report).Weeping loudly.  Hu Guozhu and the others were taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Yifeng, what's wrong with you? What happened? Why are you crying so sadly?"

    "General Hu, I'm not crying for myself, I'm crying for you, for you and the prince." Fatty Lu covered his face with his hands, and replied with a sob.

    "Cry for me? What do you mean?" Hu Guozhu was dumbfounded.

    "General Hu, although you have slapped me, it was because I asked you to act in a play." Fatty Lu said with a sob, "Besides, since I came to the prince's family, all the people in Pingxi's palace have been there.  It is to treat the subordinate officials as relatives and treat them like brothers and sisters. In the case of Li Suzu last time, you, General Hu, also went to Shengjing Pass to meet Lord Kang with Old General Wu in order to save the life of the subordinates.  Prince Kang kowtowed his head to pay his respects, and because of his bird spirit, the lower officials are always grateful, but only wish they could not repay the great kindness"

    "Why are you being polite? That's what I should do." Hu Guozhu didn't blush, and directly admitted the petty favor he gave to Fatty Lu, and asked curiously: "But, why are you crying for me?"

    "But now, not only I still can't repay the general's great kindness, but I still have to see it with my own eyes" The more Fatty Lu cried, the more sad he became, and suddenly he said something earth-shattering, "I still have to see it with my own eyes, General!  To be beheaded and ransacked by the imperial court, and to destroy the whole family, the lower officials are in pain, and have to cry for the general."

    "What did you say?" Hu Guozhu was furious, stood up and said angrily: "Say it again, I am about to be beheaded and ransacked by the court, and the whole family will be punished?!"

    "Yifeng, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Liu Xuanchu was also taken aback. He stood up and wanted to stop the students, but Wang Shirong next to him suddenly grabbed Liu Xuanchu's sleeve, tugged a few times, and gave Liu Xuanchu a wink.  Come here, shut your mouth quickly, and don't stop Fatty Lu, a treacherous student who talks to people and talks nonsense, from speaking.

    "In the seventeenth year of Shunzhi, the imperial court ordered the prince to disarm half of the army." Fatty Lu said while wiping his tears, sobbing: "At that time, Remnant Yongli was still lingering in Burma, and it was time to give him a fatal blow."  At the critical moment of the attack, why did the court rush to force the prince to cut down so many troops? It¡¯s not because the mountains in Yunnan are high and the emperor is far away, so it¡¯s hard to control. What if the prince, like Li Dingguo, suddenly joins forces with Remnant¡­¡±

    "In the case of Cha Rulong, the prince has never even seen what Cha Rulong looks like. In the end, he was ridden on the head by a bastard magistrate to shit and pee. Who gave him the courage?"

    "At the beginning of last year, the power of the prince to manage the civil affairs in Yunnan and Guizhou was taken away, and the right to select generals from the local green camp was also taken away, and the prince was forced to cut the salary. Finally, the matter of discussing the salary was finally reversed. Your Majesty  Immediately sent officials to Qujing to monitor the lord. The lord is so loyal to the court, who has he recruited? Why are the emperor and the court still treating him like this?"

    "When Lord Kang came to Yunnan, he secretly checked the topographic maps of mountains and rivers in Yunnan and Guizhou. He also went to the Youzhen camp several times to inspect the army and record the equipment of the Pingxi Palace army. Lord Kang is an idle prince. He is really idle."

    "The previous King of Jingnan, Geng Zhongming, was discovered by the court because he took in a slave who escaped from the Boluobeile family. In order not to affect his descendants, he hanged himself to death"

    "Beile Dudu, how much credit has the eldest grandson of the great ancestor of the Qing Dynasty made for Longxing of the Qing Dynasty? But why were his five sons deposed from the clan, without clothes or food?  "

    "The Regent Prince Dorgon, how beautiful was he during his lifetime? But after he died of illness, his grave was dug up, and his only daughter was rewarded as a gift. Regent Prince, are you really wronged?"

    "Han Xin, Peng Yue, Ying Bu, Xu Da, Lan Yu, the sixth Duke of the founding of the country, when I think of the stories of these people, and the various actions and signs of the court in the past few years, I have to cry! I have to cry for the prince!  Crying, I have to cry for the prince's eldest son-in-law, General Hu"

    Fatty Lu cried a few times and said something, and Hu Guozhu's face turned ugly. At the end, Hu Guozhu simply yelled with a livid face, "Enough! If you cry again, I will kill you now!"

    "General Hu, please do it!" Fatty Lu stretched out his neck actively, stared at Hu Guozhu, and said with a sob: "General Hu, please. Or you should seize this golden opportunity and let our Pingxi Palace change."  Get stronger, strong enough to protect yourself, so strong that no one dares to harbor ill intentions towards our Pingxi Palace!"

    "Otherwise, please draw out your sword, and chop off the head of the traitorous official, the traitor, and then take the subordinate official to show your loyalty to the emperor and the court, and then ask the prince to hand over his military power, disarm and return to the field.  I implore the emperor and the imperial court to spare your life for the prince and General Hu!"

    "Do you think I really dare not kill you?!" Hu Guozhu yelled furiously, and as soon as he turned around, he pulled out the precious sword hanging on the wall with a clang.

    "General Hu, if you want to kill Lord Lu, please kill us first!" Liu Xuanchu, Fang Guangchen, and Wang Shirong stood up together, knelt down in front of Hu Guozhu, and said in unison: "General Hu, what Lord Lu said is also from our hearts.  If you really want to kill him, a loyal minister of the Pingxi Palace, please kill us together!"  !) (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)"Do you think I really dare not kill you?!"

 Chapter 110 Preparing for a rainy day

    ?

    (ps: It's the end of the month, and it will be Monday in a few hours. Ask for a monthly ticket at the end of the month and a recommended ticket for next week.)

    "General Hu, Lord Lu's words are also from our hearts. If you really want to kill him, a loyal minister of the Pingxi Palace, please kill us together!"

    Wang Shirong, Liu Xuanchu, and Fang Guangchen stood up together, knelt down in front of Hu Guozhu, stretched out their necks and begged to be killed, and Fang Guangchen said loudly: "General Hu, if the three good nephews were not so loyal to the lord and our Pingxi Palace,  We are absolutely determined not to say such a thing! Over the years, the imperial court pushed us one step further, and we retreated a step. We are almost cornered. Right now, God has given us a great opportunity in the Pingxi Palace. If we don¡¯t seize the opportunity to fight back, we really have to wait until the court disputes  It's over, freeing up your hands and driving us to a corner again?"

    "That's right, the civil strife in the imperial court was a great opportunity that God gave us to the Pingxi Palace. If we miss this opportunity, once the imperial court makes a move, it will be too late for us to regret it!" Liu Xuanchu also said loudly.

    "General Hu, if you still want to look ahead and miss this opportunity, then you are a sinner of the Pingxi Palace!" Wang Shirong was furious, and even more bluntly shouted: "The imperial court's strategy for our Pingxi Palace is to weaken it first and then remove it.  First use all kinds of means to weaken our strength, cut down the army we rely on, split up and buy our generals, and finally withdraw our Dingfan in one fell swoop! The birds are all hidden, and the rabbits are dead! General Hu, you  If you really want to see such a day, please kill all of us loyal officials of the Pingxi Palace now, maybe the court will let General Hu live!"

    Fatty Lu's words hit Hu Guozhu's vitals solidly, so even though Hu Guozhu's face was getting darker and darker, his teeth were clenched tighter, and the veins in his right hand that was holding the saber tightly were throbbing more and more violently, Hu Guozhu  I still understand in my heart that whether it is Fatty Lu, or Liu Xuanchu, Wang Shirong, and Fang Guangchen, they are all telling the truth and the real truth. Since ancient times, how many people with great achievements can end well?  Isn't that considered by the monarch as a thorn in the flesh, and he wants to kill it quickly?  And these years, Miqing's suspicion and embarrassment towards Wu Sangui have almost been semi-public. As Wu Sangui's eldest son-in-law and number one confidant, Hu Guozhu, hasn't dreamed of such an end several times and broke out in a cold sweat?

    On one side was Hu Guozhu who was glaring with a knife in his hand, on the other side was Fatty Lu who had no fear on his face, and on the other side were Wu Sangui's three important confidantes kneeling on their knees.  Say one word more than one word.  At this moment, the study room was suddenly kicked away, and Wu Sangui, an old man with a bow and arrow in his hand, rushed in sweating profusely, and shouted before he could see clearly the situation in the study room: "Mr. Maoya,  Liangchen, Yifeng, I heard that you are back, so I came here directly, why don't you go to see this king?"

    Speaking of this, Wu Sangui suddenly stopped, looked at Hu Guozhu who was carrying a waist knife, and Liu Xuanchu who was kneeling on the knees, and exclaimed: "Guozhu, what are you doing? How can you be rude to Mr. Maoya and the others? Hurry up!"  Put down the knife! If you have something to say, in this king's Pingxi palace, no internal strife is allowed!"

    "My lord misunderstood, we are not fighting among ourselves." Liu Xuanchu shook his head.

    Liu Xuanchu was about to explain in detail, but Hu Guozhu suddenly took a step forward, knelt down in front of Wu Sangui, raised the waist knife in his hand above his head, and said loudly: "Father-in-law, please do it, please take my son-in-law and Mr.  Kill them all!"

    "My lord, please do it." Fatty Lu thought very quickly, and immediately came back to his senses, and quickly knelt down in front of Wu Sangui, raised his head and said loudly: "My lord, lowly people have nothing to love in life, please do it and give us a good time!"

    "Bastard! What are you talking about?" Wu Sangui was startled and angry, and shouted: "What the hell are you doing? Get up for me! You are all full and supporting yourself, why did you suddenly think of asking me to take you away?"  Killed them all?!"

    Hu Guozhu didn't answer, but just gestured to Wu Sangui's entourage and servants with his eyes, the servants in Hu Guozhu's courtyard naturally understood, and hurriedly exited the study room honestly, but the entourage behind Wu Sangui were at a loss, they just turned their eyes to Wu Sangui, waiting for Wu Sangui  The command.  And at this meeting, Wu Sangui also somewhat recovered his senses, and pouted at the entourage, and the entourage retreated obediently, closed the door of the room to take precautions, and made space for Wu Sangui and others to have a private conversation.

    "Tell me, what is it for?" Wu Sangui found a chair and sat down, and said with a livid face: "You bastards, what kind of medicine did you take wrong? Why did you suddenly think of asking for this?"  The king killed you?"

    "Father-in-law, there is nothing we can do." Hu Guozhu said in a deep voice, "Oboi killed Wu Liuyi, controlled the military power in the capital, and the conflict with the emperor has been completely publicized! Under such circumstances, Lao Taishan, you are still indecisive  , difficult to hesitateIt was a chance to fight. That night, a few bad guys stayed up all night. After searching their brains, they came up with a lot of robbing conditions that forced Oboi to sell his pants and had to agree, and then sorted out a person who supported Oboi.  The comprehensive plan¡ªin fact, it is the plan to quell chaos and King Qin after Ao Bienji became emperor. The capital is too far away from Yunnan.  Oboi staged a coup, but Oboi certainly does not lack this, so this can only be used as an empty favor.

    The complete plan for the Pingxi Palace to take advantage of the fire was sorted out by several think tanks of the Pingxi Palace, including Fatty Lu, and written by Fang Guangchen, who was the same age as Wu Sangui, and finally decided to send Wu Sangui's eldest son-in-law, Hu Guozhu, to go north in person to negotiate with Oboi in secret.  , to prove the sincerity of cooperation between Pingxi Palace and Obai¡ªafter all, Hu Guozhu, who is both civil and military, is really important to Wu Sangui and the entire Pingxi Palace.  sincerity.

    The excuse for Hu Guozhu to go north to the capital is ready-made. The new year is about to start again. Logically speaking, the Pingxi Palace will send people to the capital to celebrate the New Year, so after sorting out this looting plan and reporting it to Wu Sangui for approval, Fatty Lu and others arrived  On the morning of the third day in Kunming, Hu Guozhu led a team of guards to set off from Kunming and rush to the capital to take advantage of the troubled waters and loot.  Fatty Lu secretly conducted an explosion experiment of Sanhao brand gunpowder in Kunming, allowing Wu Sangui to see the terrifying power of Sanhao brand gunpowder, encouraging Wu Sangui's confidence in fighting against the Qing court, and at the same time winning Wu Sangui's full support for the development of new weapons.  Then Fatty Lu bid farewell to Wu Sangui and others, and returned to Qujing alone, while Liu Xuanchu and Wang Shirong stayed in Kunming temporarily to fill the vacancy left by Hu Guozhu.

    Changing horses all the way back to Qujing, it was already the evening of November 30th in the seventh year of Kang Mazi. As soon as he returned to his house, Fatty Lu saw Xiao Erlang leading a group of servants to set off fireworks in front of the door.  Firecrackers, Fatty Lu was very pleasantly surprised, hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Erlang, what are you doing setting off firecrackers? Is it Wanyi?"

    "Congratulations, young master, and congratulations, young master." Xiao Erlang cupped his hands and bowed again, and said with a smile on his face: "Just now, the young mistress gave birth to a fat boy for you, the young master, and the mother and child are safe. My uncle said it was a great event.  I'll come out and set off firecrackers."

    "I'm becoming a father? I'm becoming a father!" Fatty Lu was overjoyed. He jumped off his horse and rushed in. He rushed to the back hall to see that Fatty Lu's uncle, Qin Chuanwu, was holding a baby with a smile on his face.  Wrinkles are blooming.  Fatty Lu was overjoyed. He hurried up and snatched his son. He kissed him frantically without even wiping his face, "Son! My good son! I'm finally a father! Son, good son!"

    "Yifeng, hurry up and give my nephew a name." Qin Chuanwu urged with a smile, and sighed: "The generations of your Lu family are thin, and now you finally have a son.  I have explained to your parents. Quickly take a name, take a name, I remember that your next generation is the 'Bang' generation, let's see what it is called Lubang."

    After hugging his first son and giggling for a long time, Fatty Lu finally named his son Lu Bangjing¡ªa peaceful state, without the meaning of mites.  She rushed into the delivery room and thanked her wife. Although Shang Wanyi hated that Fatty Lu was not around when she gave birth, she was really weak after giving birth, so she just pinched Fatty Lu's ears twice and recorded the account for nothing.  Next, wait and calculate slowly later.

    Firecrackers and lanterns were set off to celebrate. When the colleagues in Qujing City received the news, they naturally had to visit the door to congratulate.  But although Fatty Lu was exhausted, he still managed not to fall asleep. He just called his absolute confidant Xiao Erlang and second cousin Qin Mo into the study alone, gave them instructions, and arranged his long-awaited plan.

    "Master, are you crazy?" After hearing Fatty Lu finish his plan, Xiao Erlang, who has always been loyal, suddenly changed his face.

    "Big cousin, why are you insane?" Qin Mo also looked ashen, and said in fear: "Why do you let your own son not raise your own son, and help others raise their son?"

    "If you can't seek forever, you can't seek for a while." Fatty Lu said slowly: "Since I have embarked on this road, my son will be targeted sooner or later. If I don't plan ahead, I will take precautions."  According to the arrangement, in the future, you will be tied up in everything you do, and you will not dare to do your best. And this son of mine will inevitably suffer an even more miserable fate in the future."

    "But, the young mistress will never agree." Xiao Erlang said tremblingly.

    "Just don't let her know." Fatty Lu's face became even more solemn, "Her natal family may also be eyeing my son in the future. For her own good, she must not let her know about it. So, yours  You have to act quickly, and take advantage of the fact that she is not yet familiar with her son's appearance, otherwise, once Bang Jing's appearance grows up, she will be unable to act any more."

    "Cousin, are you serious?" Qin Mo asked worriedly.

    Fatty Lu didn't answer, but nodded slowly. When he lowered his head again, two drops of tears had already oozed from the corners of Fatty Lu's eyes.

 Chapter 111 Unexpected ecstasy

    ?

    (ps: The results of the monthly pass are getting worse and worse, friends, can you rummage through the boxes again, and get a few monthly passes for the great gods, and reward them to the pure wolves?)

    There are several flowers blooming, each showing one branch. When Fatty Lu was studying knowledge in Qujing, specializing in some vicious techniques and evil weapons for how to kill and set fire faster and better, and at the same time governing the situation in a decent manner, calming the people and developing the economy,  On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, Qin Yong, Fatty Lu's eldest cousin, finally rushed to the capital. Following the instructions of Fatty Lu and Zhu Fangdan, he went all the way to the gate of the Suo'etu Mansion near Yongxing Temple, and went to the capital.  The concierge handed over the letter of introduction from Fatty Lu and asked Suo'etu to meet him.

    Different from Fatty Lu's previous visits to Suo'etu Mansion, after he was promoted from Suo'etu to be the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel and Organization Department, the desolate scene in front of the Suo'er Mansion has been swept away.  There are so many people in the market, officials who want to give gifts have to make an appointment in advance, and they have to pay a dozen or twenty taels of white money to the door of the Suofu, so that they have the opportunity to meet our servant Suo Etu Suo - to be an official, find the third son of Suo,  This famous official saying started from this year.

    Qin Yong, the son of a businessman from a poor country, of course doesn't know the rules in the capital, and he doesn't have much fame.  His family is a new relative of the housekeeper, and he usually doesn't have a good word for officials at the prefect level, so of course he will not let Qin Yong enter the mansion at all, and Qin Yong has Zhu Fangdan and Lu Fatty's strict orders.  Strictly keep your whereabouts secret, naturally helpless in such a situation, dare not talk nonsense to reveal your identity, and dare not leave casually, can only wander back and forth in front of the Suofu gate, anxious like ants on a hot pot.

    "Hey, that bumpkin from Yunnan, why don't you leave?" Even though Qin Yong was very sensible and didn't touch the wall again, he just wandered around the door and waited, but the wrapped doors in front of the Suofu gate still refused to let him go.  One of the disciples arrogantly yelled at Qin Yong: "What are you still doing here? Get out! If you don't get out, I will send you to Wucheng Bingmasi to sit in prison."

    "My lord, I'm really in a hurry." Qin Yong nodded and bowed his waist and said: "Please tell your lord that the cousin of Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Qujing County, is asking to see him. He will definitely meet him. If he doesn't see you, I'll leave right away."

    "Get out!" The doorman was furious, kicked Qin Yong's leg, and cursed: "What about Lu Yifeng and Lu Erfeng, a small county magistrate of seventh grade, there are more bastards in Yongding River than this kind of goods! Get out of here!"  , let me say one more wordy sentence, I will take you to Shuntian Mansion immediately, and charge you with a death penalty for trespassing on the mansion of a court official."

    Qin Yong was a bit naive and straightforward, and he didn't know how to make money, so he had no choice but to find an inn to live in first, and then find a way to contact Suo'etu.  But at this moment, a group of people and horses suddenly turned around at the entrance of the alley, led by a small sedan chair in green clothes, and came straight to the gate of Suo'etu Mansion flaunting its might.  With a thought in his mind, Qin Yong thought it was Suo'etu's sedan chair returning home, he quickly unwrapped the package on his back, and rushed to the small sedan chair, frightened the guards with knives who were waiting in front of and behind the sedan chair all drew their knives to guard the sedan chair,  They yelled together: "What are you doing?"

    "Dare to ask the military master, is Lord Suo'etuso sitting in the sedan chair?" Qin Yong asked tremblingly.

    "Blind your dog's eyes!" A young guard with a knife scolded angrily: "Master Suo is sitting in a big green sedan chair. How can it be Mr. Suo sitting in this sedan chair?"

    "No?" Qin Yong was disappointed.  At this time, several gatekeepers in front of the Suofu gate had already rushed over to salute Qian, and the gatekeeper who scolded Qin Yong just now nodded and bowed and said: "Greetings to Guard Cao, if you dare to ask Guard Cao, it is through my family  Sir, come out to greet him? Or ask the master to go in directly?"

    "You don't need to pass it on, the master will go in directly." The young man surnamed Cao snorted coldly, pointed at Qin Yong and said, "What does this idiot do? He almost bumped into the master. Is that why you are guarding the door for Sir Suo?  ?¡±

    "A slave is a death penalty, a slave is a death penalty." The doorman was terrified, and hurriedly said: "This idiot is from Qujing, Yunnan, and he was sent by Lu Hefeng, the county magistrate there.  He also said that there was something urgent, and he could not be driven away, and he had been waiting here for more than half an hour. The slave was convicted, and the slave arrested him right away, and sent him to Shuntian Mansion for punishment."

    "Qujing? Lu Yifeng?!" The young man surnamed Cao changed his expression drastically and blurted out in surprise.

    "Yes, it's Lu Yifeng. Master Cao, do you know?" The doorman was about to ask back, but before he could finish speaking, the curtain of the small sedan chair in green clothes had been lifted from the sedan chair, and a man with pockmarked face  The young man poked his head out of the sedan chair and shouted sharply: "Lu Yifeng sent someone here? Where is it?"

    "I, I am." Qin Yong stepped forward and replied cautiously.

    "You are Lu Yifeng"admire.  "Mingzhu flattered her ass and said respectfully: "Master Lu learned that the emperor's concubine Long En personally bestowed the title of fourth-rank capital on his cousin and took charge of a green camp. He will definitely be grateful and serve the emperor more faithfully.  !  Even if it is a critical moment, he will definitely not disappoint the grace of the emperor, and win the most critical emergency response time for the emperor!  "

    "Your Majesty¡ª!" Kong Sizhen screamed in a heart-piercing scream.

    "Shut up!" Xiao Mazi shouted, and said, "I know what you want to say. If you want to question my decision, then show evidence of Lu Yifeng's infidelity to me! If you can't show it, I will believe it."  Lu Aiqing will definitely not disappoint my Long En!"

    Kong Sizhen was so anxious that tears were streaming down his face, but there was nothing he could do. Seeing that Xiao Mazi's mind had been made up, Xiong Cilu quietly pulled Kong Sizhen's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Si Gege, forget it, the emperor's mind has been made up, what can I say?"  It¡¯s all useless. Also, don¡¯t be too afraid of Si Gege. The Qujing Green Camp is under the direct jurisdiction of the Qujing prefect. Lu Yifeng has no right to direct command. Moreover, there are two green camps in the territory of Qujing Prefecture. We only need to control the general soldier in Luoping.  , I¡¯m not afraid that Lu Yifeng will stir up trouble.¡±

    "Is that really the case?" Kong Sizhen's heart twitched continuously, and even she didn't know why she was so afraid of Fatty Lu getting the army?  Although I have seen that army with my own eyes more than once, the equipment is outdated, the soldiers are lazy, and the military discipline is lax.  fear!

    Suddenly, Kong Sizhen seemed to see such a scene again, a big fat carp suddenly jumped over the high gate of the dragon gate.  Glittering, making waves, soaring through the clouds and driving the fog, shaking your head and tail, straight into the sea (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log on to www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)

 Chapter 112 Frank and Selfless

    ?

    (ps: There are only 20 hours left in September, ask for the monthly pass for the last 20 hours. A monthly pass is nothing to the great gods, but to the pure wolf, it can affect the ranking  location.)

    "Qujing Green Battalion? Xiaoyong, you took office as the chief of the Qujing Green Battalion, and you are in charge of all the green camp soldiers in the entire Qujing Mansion except Luoping? Did I hear you right? Did I read it right?"

    After listening to the narration of the eldest cousin Qin Yong, and seeing the plate armor with cotton and iron sheets on the body of the first cousin, and then the plate armor with copper nails, and the radar antenna on the head of the eldest cousin, Fatty Lu was tongue-tied and ecstatic, suddenly  There is a feeling of being so happy that you are about to faint¡ªwhat a good Emperor Mazi, what you need the most, Emperor Mazi will send you here!  Not only did he send the army formation that he dreamed of being able to recruit and train troops in a fair manner, but he also sent quite a lot of military personnel and military equipment!

    How many emperors like this are so holy and mighty in the world since ancient times?  At this moment, Fatty Lu, trying to suppress his nausea and kiss Xiao Mazi's pockmarked face, probably has it all!

    "Cousin, I can't believe it. I'm still confused." Qin Yong said shyly, "At that time, I stayed at Mr. Suo's house for one night. Early the next morning, Mr. Suo asked someone to bring me  When I arrived at the Ministry of War, I was taken to meet a man named Huang. The man said that I had made great achievements in eradicating the bandits in Niutoushan in Henan Province, and that I should be rewarded for my merits. Then he gave me a seal and official documents, and asked me to return to Qujing to serve as the governor.  , in charge of the green battalion here."

    "Cousin, I have never been to Niutou Mountain in my life, and I don't know what bandits there are. How can the senior officials of the Ministry of War say that I wiped out the bandits there?" Qin Yong asked with a sad face: "What is this for?  What? Don't be in any trouble, will you?"

    "For what? Of course it's because of your cousin's face! Your cousin is now a celebrity in front of Prince Pingxi, of course the court has to give him face." Qin Chuanwu slapped his son on the back of the head, barely guessing half of his son.  The reason why he was suddenly promoted to the capital, and he scolded: "Why don't you kowtow to your cousin quickly? Listen to Yifeng's words in the future, maybe you can be promoted again, and give our Qin family more face!"

    Qin Yong was honest and obedient, and quickly knelt down to thank him. Fatty Lu quickly helped him up, saying that he didn't need it, but he really regretted it in his heart-if he had known such a result, he should have sent Li Tianzhi to take on this errand.  However, considering that his cousin was a fool this time, and happened to impress Xiao Mazi deeply, Fatty Lu quickly felt relieved that it might not be such luck to replace Li Tianzhi as this errand.  Moreover, my cousin is more obedient and reliable, making him the honorary commander of the army is no better than letting Li Tianzhi go there directly as the commander of the capital.

    At this time, Fatty Lu's uncle, Qin Chuanwu, asked worriedly again: "However, Yifeng, Xiaoyong's words are also reasonable. If the imperial court appoints him as the capital in such a reckless manner, there will be no problem, right?"

    Fatty Lu picked up the official document that Qin Yong brought with him, flipped through it for a while, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Uncle, there will be absolutely no problem. This is a formal appointment by the imperial court, and Xiaoyong's resume has already been sealed by the Ministry of War.  It is the official and legal capital of Qujing, and no one can take it away."

    "That's good, that's good, Yifeng, Xiaoyong is really in your favor." Qin Chuanwu was finally relieved, and he couldn't even close his mouth with a smile.  After appointing two high-ranking officials, all of them are officials in Qujing. Our Qin family will be in Qujing in the future, even if we don't want to walk sideways.

    "One more thing, cousin, you must help me." Qin Yong was just straightforward and not stupid, and quickly said: "I have never been an official, let alone an officer in the army, you must teach me  How to lead troops and how to become an official, otherwise, I, the capital, will definitely not be able to become an official."

    "Ha, I have made progress, I can take this into consideration." Fatty Lu laughed happily, turned his gaze to Li Tianzhi, who was already eager to try, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, our Qujing County Government has hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and my cousin has already given it to you."  The talent reserve is ready¡ªBrother Tianzhi, how about it? Can you be wronged for a while, and temporarily go to my cousin's side as a deputy, and take him to get familiar with how to lead the army? How to train and use soldiers?"

    "Dare you not follow orders?" Li Tianzhi, who dreamed of returning to the army and re-leading troops, agreed loudly, "When Li Tianzhi was desperate, Brother Lu took me in and treated me like a brother. Can I not listen to your orders? Lu  Don't worry, brother, give me a month to help Brother Qin Yong secure his position as the capital of the Qujing Green Camp, and there will be no Qiu Bagan playing tricks in front of Brother Qin Yong!"

    "No, it's not enough!" Fatty Lu said in a deep voice, "Not only do I want you to help Xiaoyong secure his position, but I also want you to help Xiaoyong change the Qujing Green Camp for me.  Catch up with the prince's elite army! As for military expenditure and equipment, you can rest assuredHe quickly admitted that he had lost his mind, and asked: "In Mr. Yanxian's opinion, what kind of people should we send there?"

    "Be obedient and loyal. It's best to have some ability to share some burdens with Yifeng." Fang Guangchen replied: "The key is that this person must keep a low profile. He can't conflict with Yifeng in Qujing, he can only spy on him secretly."

    "So, I have a suitable candidate." Wang Shirong finally said, "General Jinwu, Mr. Yanxian, do you still remember the last time we met Chen Doubu, the grain and rice secretary in the army of General Xia Guoxiang?"  ?¡±

    "Chen Dou?" After being reminded by Wang Shirong, Hu Guozhu and Fang Guangchen immediately thought of such a person-at that time, the Kunming garrison was checking the grain and rice income and expenditure, and other book offices were holding a thick stack of account books, with big heads.  Khan reconciled the accounts one by one, but this Chen Dou didn't even look at the account book, and he recited hundreds of grain and rice receipts and expenditures word for word. Hu Guozhu, Fang Guangchen and others were very surprised, and they talked with this Chen Dou again  For a few sentences, Chen Dou answered fluently, but he never answered one more word, said one more word, and was extremely reticent, which left a deep impression on Hu Guozhu, Fang Guangchen and others.

    "Yes, this is a suitable candidate." Fang Guangchen nodded first, and said, "I just don't know how this person is now. I remember that General Jin Wu asked General Xia to reuse this person."

    "Whatever he is now, just call him and ask him." Hu Guozhu snorted, turned to Wu Sangui again, and briefly stated his impression of Chen Dou.  Wu Sangui was also very happy when he heard it, and said: "It turns out that there is such a talent hidden in our Pingxi Palace. Quickly, let Xia Guoxiang go find him and let me have a look. If it is suitable, send him to Qujing  .¡±

    After spending a lot of time, Xia Guoxiang finally found this Chen Dou, and when this middle-aged scholar with gray braids in his forties was brought to Yin'an Hall, Wu Sangui's first impression was that he felt a little  It looked familiar, as if I had seen it there before, but considering that this Chen Dou was originally a member of the Pingxi Palace, and he might have seen it somewhere before, so Wu Sangui didn't think much about it, and directly questioned Chen Dou.  Come learn.  The result is generally satisfactory, but I feel that Chen Dou is too taciturn, as if he is not interested in anything.

    "Should I send this Chen Dou?" Wu Sangui pondered in his mind, and after carefully looking at Chen Dou for a long time, Wu Sangui couldn't help thinking again, "Why does this guy become more and more familiar? He must have met there, but  Why can't you remember?"

    "Father-in-law, what do you think?" Hu Guozhu asked in a low voice, "Should he be sent to Qujing?"

    "Let me think about it again, what's the rush?" Wu Sangui scolded casually, and suddenly felt another violent movement in his heart. Wu Sangui immediately stood up, stared at Chen Dou with wide-eyed eyes, and his body almost trembled.  This made Hu Guozhu startled, and hurriedly asked, "Father-in-law, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

    "Noit's nothing." Wu Sangui shook his head, and after glancing at Chen Dou again, Wu Sangui's lips moved, and he said after a long while: "Just him, let him go to Qujing, be the prime minister of Qujing County, and be Yifeng's deputy."

    "Father-in-law, have you decided?" Hu Guozhu asked worriedly in a low voice: "Why did you stand up just now? Did you find something wrong?"

    "It's nothing." Wu Sangui turned his face away, not letting his son-in-law see the look in his eyes, and said calmly: "Let him go, this king has decided. If he goes, this king can rest assured."

 Chapter 113: Humans and Ghosts Come Together

    ?

    (ps: It will be September 1st in a few hours, please ask for the last monthly pass in August, and book the September monthly pass by the way, please continue to support friends.)

    It may be because Fatty Lu and his lackeys were too optimistic. After Qin Yong took over the Qujing Green Battalion, the numbers were shocking. There were only about 1,200 soldiers in the establishment of 2,000 troops.  , and the old and weak soldiers under the age of sixteen and over the age of fifty accounted for one-third!

    For the remaining 800 or so soldiers, the backwardness of their equipment made those who heard it feel sad and those who heard it shed tears.  There are less than 300 war horses in total, less than 100 primitive matchlock guns, and most of them are scrap muskets with problems!  Even the most basic cold weapon, the iron knife and spear, is a cast iron saber and a wooden cast iron head spear!  Bows and arrows, yes, more than half of the bows are the cheapest and lowest-quality bamboo bows; as for arrows, there are also, one bamboo bow can probably get more than four arrows!  There are other things like military pay, food, uniforms, armor, and supplies nothing is missing or short!

    The scarcity and backwardness of equipment are still minor problems. Basically, these problems can be solved by throwing money at them. The most serious problems are other problems.  In terms of commanding the army, although Liu Wenjin is not very bad, compared with the generals Wang Fuchen and Wang Jing of the Youzhen army of Pingxi Wangfu who are also stationed in Qujing, Liu Wenjin is a bit pitiful.  , also wantonly deducted the soldiers' salaries and rations and sold the army's food and grass, which led to the lack of military discipline in the entire Qujing Green Camp, low morale, and a serious habit of harassing the local area and stealing chickens and dogs.  The root cause of being instantly killed by Wu Sangui's army.

    Where there are victims, there are beneficiaries. As an old Qiuba who has fought for many years, Liu Wenjin knows how to build his own core strength. He has a direct guard of about two hundred people, with the best equipment and the most adequate rations.  Most timely, after Liu Wenjin's downfall, although the core team fell apart, they would definitely not be reconciled to failure.  Let's put it this way, no matter who takes over Liu Wenjin's position and manages the Qujing Green Camp, the first thing to pass is this group of Liu Wenjin's remnant party. If they are not settled, not only will they not be able to secure their position, but it will definitely lead to more and more chaos in the Qujing Green Camp.  , getting worse.

    Putting the situation of internal and external troubles here, if Fatty Lu's cousin Qin Yong is alone, then it will definitely take a long time to settle these troubles and bring this army back from the ashes.  But fortunately, Fatty Lu, who usually pays great attention to talent reserves, finally received the reward of his hard work at this moment.  Willingly became Fatty Lu's cousin's assistant, and led a group of thugs and accomplices accumulated by Fatty Lu's long-term bleak management, and swaggered into Qujing Green Camp, a dragon's pool and tiger's den.

    On the second day of March in the eighth year of Mite Qingkang Mazi, on the first day Qin Yong officially took office, two of Liu Wenjin's confidantes, Mr. Qian, were severely injured and kicked out of the camp.  The general and Liu Wenjin were former guard soldiers.  More than forty other people were executed by military law, or were beaten with military sticks, or were punished to do hard labor.

    On the third day of March, the Qujing Green Battalion distributed the military pay that had been owed for four months. According to the rules, under the supervision of Zhang Gaomo, the prefect of Qujing, and Fatty Lu, the county magistrate, Qin Yong and Li Tianzhi personally handed out the general pay to the generals and soldiers at all levels.  On the same day, the Qujing Green Battalion posted a list to recruit troops, with the goal of making up for the vacancy in the establishment.

    On the fourth day of March, the Qujing Green Battalion resumed the army training that had been abandoned for many months, and the training intensity was increased by 10% on the original basis.  On the same day, the food problem, which was criticized by the soldiers of the green battalion, was greatly improved. Not only must there be meat in every meal, but also legumes rich in plant protein have become a must-have dish on the soldiers' dining table.  The fat man has to subsidize military expenses at least a thousand taels out of his own pocket every month.

    ? On the fifth day of March, the Qujing green battalion started another riot. One general encouraged the soldiers to stop training and mutiny, which once led to the suspension of training.  More than half an hour after the incident, 2,000 soldiers from the right town of Wu Sangui Army surrounded the Qujing Green Camp, searched for the commander-in-chief and his accomplices, and killed three of them.

    ? On the sixth day of March, soldiers from the Qujing Green Battalion first replenished their military shoes, each with two pairs of new military shoes for the first time, and then each person will be given a pair of new military shoes every month.  Although the military uniforms were not issued due to time constraints, Qin Yong publicly promised that each person would be issued a set of four months, with cotton jackets in winter and undershirts in summer.  On the same day, the Qujing Green Battalion announced the new military discipline, and the three major disciplines should be read aloud to the public one by one, and the soldiers were ordered to sing them in ballads.

    On the eighth day of March, the first batch of more than 400 newly recruited soldiers joined the army. While replenishing fresh blood, the Qujing Green Battalion also began to eliminate old and weak soldiers.  There are two options, those who are willing to leave will be given travel expenses to go back to their hometown andYun Gui made it clear that he was going to confront the prince, and the prince hoped that someone could inform him, try to gain Gan Wenkun's trust, and report Gan Wenkun's every move to him.  Who else would be more suitable for this unlucky candidate for a double agent?  "

    "Heh." Fatty Lu gave another wry smile, and said, "And Mr. Chen, I'm afraid you will be unlucky too. In the future, we two will have to openly conflict with each other, and I have to wear some shoes for you."

    Coke is finally made from bituminous coal through drying, pyrolysis, melting, bonding, solidification, shrinkage and other stages. It has the characteristics of firmness, low impurity, low ash, and high combustion value.  necessity.

    Qujing is adjacent to Liupanshui, the current Jiangnan coal capital, and Pingyi County is also very rich in coal resources. Many coal beds are relatively easy to mine, and the coal is of good quality and low in sulfur content, making it a top-grade coking iron.

    After the Pingxi Prince's Mansion came forward to get a batch of high-quality coal from Pingyi, Fatty Lu personally guided the craftsmen to build two coking brick kilns by the local method on the banks of the Niulan River under Nule Peak, and the cleaned and removed coal  Put it into an open-air kiln, ignite it from the side wall, let the heat generated by the coal itself burn to heat the coal, pyrolyze it and melt it, and bond it into coke.  Coke of exceptional quality.

    Of course, this kind of local method of coking is very polluting, and choking black smoke is emitted all the time during the combustion period, and the waste of coal is huge, the amount of coke produced is small, and the work efficiency is low.  However, due to the current technical conditions and the urgency of the situation, Fatty Lu couldn't care less.

    When the local coking kiln was expanded to ten, the first batch of high-quality wrought iron and a small amount of fried steel made from coke were also released.

    When the local coking kiln was expanded to twenty, the first batch of caustic soda was mass-produced successfully.  For craftsmen, this kind of white caustic soda is a troublesome thing. If you get it on your body carelessly, it will burn your skin, and you have to wash it with vinegar water quickly; but for the wolf-hearted Fatty Lu, this thing is extremely rare.  The good stuff - soaking cotton in the solution of this thing can degrease the cotton, and then soaking the absorbent cotton in nitric acid will become the notorious nitrocellulose explosive.

    If the nitrocellulose is melted in nitroglycerin at a ratio of one to nine, it will become an even more notorious fried glue.  If Fatty Lu had a more vicious heart, and added some camphor to the fried gum and nitroglycerin, it would be an even more notorious smokeless gunpowder.  ¡ª¡ªBut these two things consume too much precious and dangerous nitroglycerin, so Fatty Lu only made a small number of samples, and gave up his plan to manufacture a large number of them, focusing on Sanhao brand gunpowder and Sanhao brand nitrocellulose  development and application.

    In addition, caustic soda is added to the flowering shell, and it becomes a simple chemical bomb, which emits poisonous gas when it explodes and burns.

    When the local coking kiln was expanded to 30, the same notorious thunder mercury, also known as mercury nitrate, was successfully trial-produced, and the world's first detonator was made, which successfully detonated the nitroglycerin that can only be used in the past.  Miyoshi brand gunpowder and Miyoshi brand nitrocellulose can only be detonated.  Five days later, Wu Sangui's absolute confidant, Wu Guogui, was transferred to the Nule Peak camp in Qujing, and the Youzhen garrison of the Pingxi Palace was also readjusted under Wu Sangui's order, adding 2,000 troops to guard the Nule Peak camp, so as to prevent them from defending the Nule Peak construction site.  It is difficult for a fly to fly to Nule Peak.

    When the indigenous coking kiln was expanded to fifty, it was still notorious. Gan Wenkun, the die-hard traitor and the new governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, arrived in Guizhou. Before the huge entourage arrived in Guiyang, where the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou was located, Governor Gan¡¯s urgent official document had already arrived.  It was sent to Qujing, and it was sent to Fatty Lu, the magistrate of Qujing County, and asked Fatty Lu to arrive in Guiyang within five days to attend the inauguration ceremony of Governor Gan.

    "Rush to Guiyang before June 18 to attend his inauguration ceremony?" Sitting on the grass in the Nule Peak Workshop, looking through the official documents sent by Gan Wenkun with his face covered in dust, Lu Fatty black  The chubby face that had lost a lot of weight showed some serious expressions, and asked Chen Dou and Zhu Fangdan who had transferred the official document: "How is the magistrate's yamen? Has Zhang Gaomo received such an official document?"

    "No." Chen Dou and Zhu Fangdan shook their heads together, and Zhu Fangdan said happily, "Boss, this is a good thing. The new governor named you to participate in his inauguration ceremony, which proves that the new governor attaches great importance to you.  In Guizhou, no one dares to provoke you."

    "I don't want such a good thing." Fatty Lu shook his head and said with a solemn face: "For me, the more low-key the better, the less people notice me, the more time I have to do other things.  It's a big deal, and now the new governor is targeting me before he officially takes office, which is not a good sign."

    "Boss, this is something that can't be helped or avoided." Zhu Fangdan said with a wry smile: "The combined annual tax in Yunnan and Guizhou is only about 300,000 taels of silver. Less than a year after you took office in Qujing, a single county in Qujing County is  You earned more than 300,000 taels of silver, no matter which governor or governor comes to Yungui to take up his post, he wouldn't dare not look at you high?"

    "Where a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it." Chen Huan?Maybe I asked Governor Gan to reuse and trust me in advance, so why did Governor Gan still test me?  Could it be that Governor Gan doesn't even believe the words of the emperor?  "

    "Because in the court, there are many people who believe in you, and some people doubt you." Chen Dou said slowly: "For example, the famous Kong Sizhen Sigege, according to General Jin Wu, she has always been suspicious of you, Lord Lu,  I have always planned to get rid of you, my lord, and then hurry up, but now Si Gege is in the capital, and he is highly valued by the emperor-Governor Gan is going south to Yunnan and Guizhou to take office, wouldn't Si Gege blow the pillow wind in his ears, so that Gan  Is the Governor careful about you?"

    "It makes sense. One ear hears all the good things about me, and the other ear hears all the bad things about me, so the governor can't help but be cautious and take a tentative attitude towards me." Fatty Lu was satisfied  Nodding¡ªalthough Chen Dou's analysis was a bit slower, it was almost the same as Fatty Lu's own analysis.

    After nodding, Fatty Lu asked curiously again: "However, Master Chen, there is one thing that I am very surprised - as far as this junior knows, you have been serving as a food and rice secretary in the army of Xia Guoxiang General Xia before.  It has not been reused. You came to Qujing to be my deputy this time. Why did General Jinwu tell you so many secrets? As the eldest son-in-law and number one think tank of the prince, General Jinwu doesn¡¯t even have such a small city that keeps secrets, right?  ?¡±

    Chen Dou was silent, and after a while he said: "I guess, it should be the prince who asked him to tell me."

    "Then why did the prince let you know so many things?" Fatty Lu asked again.

    Chen Dou was silent for a longer time this time, and it took a long time before he turned his face and asked, "How do I know what the prince thinks? Maybe the prince took the wrong medicine."

    "Is that true?" Fatty Lu laughed.

    Chen Dou didn't answer, but just changed the subject and said, "Lord Lu, I've finished my words. If there's nothing else, I'll leave. I wish you a smooth journey in advance, and I won't see you off tomorrow."  .¡±

    "Master Chen, don't be in a hurry." Fatty Lu stopped Chen Dou, and said: "Master Chen, since you have analyzed the reason why Governor Gan asked me to go to Guiyang, then tell me, how should I deal with us?  The new governor? How can I convince him that I am loyal to the court? How can I make him feel at ease with me, so that I won¡¯t be in a hurry to move the governor¡¯s office and come to Qujing to personally watch over the prince?¡±

    "Lord Lu, those two-sided methods you used before can of course be used again." Chen Dou spoke very bluntly, and then said: "However, I think that instead of going around with our new governor, it is better to use it."  A more direct method will immediately establish the impression of you as a loyal minister in Governor Gan's mind."

    "Oh, what method?" Fatty Lu asked curiously.

    "Take it back!" Chen Dou replied very simply, "Since Mr. Lu, you want to play the role of a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, then you simply stand on the position of a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty and take a skeptical attitude towards our new governor, questioning whether he is in harmony with the prince.  Collusion, disloyalty to the court? You can even sue the emperor for a few tricks, accusing Governor Gan of colluding with the prince and betraying the Qing emperor and the Qing court! In this way, even if the emperor and Governor Gan don¡¯t think you are  Even a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty will die!"

    "Wonderful! Absolutely!" Fatty Lu's eyes lit up¡ªbefore this, Fatty Lu really didn't expect to beat him up!  At the same time, this trick is more direct and effective than the various tricks that Fatty Lu had conceived before!

    Overwhelmed with surprise, Fatty Lu couldn't help laughing and said, "It's Mr. Chen's cleverness. This trick is really wonderful¡ªif you want to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, you must first suspect that everyone else is a traitorous minister of the Qing Dynasty! Haha, Mr. Chen, in the future  This junior really doesn't dare to offend you, otherwise, if you use these tricks at will, the subordinate officials will be overwhelmed and go away."

    Chen Dou didn't laugh with Fatty Lu, instead his expression was even more gloomy. Fatty Lu also said that his joke was too much, and quickly apologized: "Master Chen, this junior just made a harmless little joke, you must not  care."

    "This joke is not funny at all." Chen Dou's voice was unusually cold, "Also, I also learned this trick from others, not by myself."

    After finishing speaking, Chen Dou turned around and left, leaving Fatty Lu's study without looking back, leaving Fatty Lu in the study with a confused head, "Who is this Chen Dou? Why can't he stand up to jokes?  Also, who did he learn this trick from others?"

 Chapter 115 Double Spring

    ?

    Lying on the reclining chair in the Guanzhu Pavilion on the top of Qianling Mountain, listening to the flattery and flattery of officials in Guizhou, looking at the beautiful scenery of Guiyang City at the foot of Qianling Mountain, the newly appointed Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Gan Wenkungan, can't help it in his mind  I recalled the scenes when I was preparing to leave the capital and rush to Guiyang.

    On the fourth day of March, Xiao Mazi resisted all opinions and decided to appoint Gan Wenkun as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. Although Bian Sanyuan, the previous governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, listened to Wu Sangui's words very much, but the various incidents between the court and Wu Sangui in the past few years have already frightened him.  This old fox took the initiative to ask to return to the flag for the elderly, and escaped from the huge vortex of struggle between the court and Wu Sangui. Xiao Mazi, who had long been displeased with Bian Sanyuan, of course couldn't wish for it, so he agreed.

    Tell Bian Sanyuan to go away, and the candidate for the Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou has become the focus of the trilateral wrestling among Wu Sangui, Xiao Mazi, and Aobai.  When he arrived in Yunnan and Guizhou, Xiao Mazi had long been optimistic about Gan Wenkun, who had a grudge against Wu Sangui.  one.  ¡ª¡ªAt the same time, it was natural that Gan Wenkun, who had long hated Wu Sangui so much that his teeth itch, also hated Wu Sangui to the bone.

    And when it was time to enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation to express gratitude, apart from the nonsense that Emperor Mazi said about working hard and caring for the people, he also hinted that Gan Wenkun wanted to keep a close eye on Wu Sangui, and that he wanted to let go and fight Wu Sangui boldly.  Naturally, someone would support Gan Wenkun¡ªalthough Emperor Mazi did not explain who would firmly support Gan Wenkun, but Gan Wenkun still understood and made up his mind to do a big job in Yunnan and Guizhou.  Just when Gan Wenkun thought the matter was over, Emperor Mazi suddenly changed his mind and mentioned a sesame mung bean-level figure to Gan Wenkun¡ªthis sesame mung bean, of course, is our Fatty Lu Lu San.

    As the recently retired governor of Zhili, Gan Wenkun has of course heard about Lu Sanhao's great reputation, and even heard about the Qujing miracle created by Fatty Lu in Qujing.  Therefore, when Xiao Mazi asked Gan Wenkun to treat Fatty Lu kindly and sincerely unite with Fatty Lu to fight against Wu Sangui, Gan Wenkun was even more surprised and happy. Only then did he know that Fatty Lu was from the imperial party, but the imperial party had underestimated him before  Taking advantage of Fatty Lu's amazing talent, he put Fatty Lu in Qujing to use it as an ordinary eyeliner, which made it easier for his arch-enemy Wu Sangui.

    Naturally, at that time, Gan Wenkun was so happy that he wanted to kiss this Fatty Lu who had never met before. What he had in mind was, after arriving in Yunnan and Guizhou, how could he fight Wu Sangui for the emperor's favor, and at the same time use Fatty Lu in civil affairs and finance?  A fat golden rooster, not only earns money but also seeks revenge, and also pleases the emperor by the way, killing three birds with one stone and killing three birds with one stone.

    The joy is short-lived. After leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the famous Kong Sizhen Sigege and the emperor's confidant Xiong Cilu suddenly came to the door together, and said something earth-shattering to Gan Wenkun, warning Gan Wenkun that if Gan Wenkun treats that treacherous and loyal Fatty Lu  If we don't maintain our utmost vigilance, then Gan Wenkun will not only harm the country and the people, but he may even lose his head in Yunnan and Guizhou!  In order to make Gan Wenkun believe his words, the glamorous and charming Si Gege took the initiative to throw himself into his arms, and even listed all kinds of doubts about Fatty Lu to Gan Wenkun. Preconceptions affected Gan Wenkun's impression of Fatty Lu, especially warning Gan Wenkun that he must  Keep a close eye on Fatty Lu, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!

    On the one hand, the emperor trusted Fatty Lu, and on the other hand, the emperor's confidant and old friend and new lover questioned Fatty Lu. Gan Wenkun was completely confused. He really didn't know which side to believe, let alone how to treat Lu after Yungui took office.  Fatty, a famous subordinate with a low official position, did he treat him as a confidant and right-hand man according to the emperor's order?  Or should he listen to Si Gege, be careful with this Fatty Lu, try to find out the evidence of his betrayal of the court and seek refuge with Wu Sangui, and put him to death?

    Of course you have to listen to the emperor's words, but the words of Si Gege and Xiong Dashi are also very reasonable.  If he is betrayed by his confidantes again, then Governor Gan's old life may really have to be accounted for in the poor mountains and rivers of Yunnan and Guizhou.

    Under the conflict, Governor Gan had no choice but to adopt a conservative attitude. He could neither rush to trust Fatty Lu nor turn his back on him hastily.  This sesame and mung bean seventh-rank magistrate came to Guiyang to participate in his inauguration ceremony, which was one of Gan Wenkun's probing methods. He wanted to take this opportunity to get acquainted with him in advance and see what kind of fat man Lu, whose reputation far exceeded his rank, was.  kind of person??I want to ask him to make the decision for me to see if someone ordered officers and soldiers to pretend to be bandits and steal!  "

    "Shut up!" Gan Wenkun yelled unbearably, slapped the table and shouted: "What's the proper way for civil servants and military generals to fight in public? Shut up, Ben Du!"

    "Your Excellency, Li Junmen was the one who made the first move, okay?" Fatty Lu jumped three feet high and roared, "The last time that happened at the Guanyin Mountain Iron Mine in Shuicheng, please give an explanation to the lower officials.  Find out who ordered the subordinates to rob the pig iron of the lower official!"

    Fatty Lu paid out of his own pocket to buy horses and iron for the extremely important Qujing Green Camp. Such a good deed, Gan Wenkun, of course has a hundred support and ten thousand approval, but in front of so many officials, what about Gan Wenkun who has not officially taken office yet?  Dare to openly favor Fatty Lu?  So Gan Wenkun quickly lowered his face and shouted: "Shut up, what are you? You want the governor to give you an explanation? Didn't you blame the governor for calling you from Qujing and delaying your organization of the people to grab autumn food? If  If you don't want to stay, then you can go now!"

    "Let's go!" Fatty Lu was so indignant that he flicked his sleeves and quickly cupped his hands, saying loudly, "Let me go."

    After all, Fatty Lu really strode away and went straight down Qianling Mountain, leaving behind many Guizhou officials to look at each other on the observation deck of Qianling Mountain, at a loss.  Gan Wenkun's face was gloomy, and he stared at Fatty Lu's leaving back for a long time without saying a word.

    "Boss, why are you in such a hurry to clash with Gan Wenkun?" Seeing Fatty Lu stepping down quickly, Zhu Fangdan, who had been watching from a distance, was startled, and quickly whispered, "Are you in a hurry?  Gan Wenkun has offended you too much, and your life will be difficult in the future."

    "Don't be in a hurry, how can I establish my image as a loyal minister?" Fatty Lu snorted coldly, and then said in a low voice: "Don't worry, he Gan Wenkun came to Yunnan and Guizhou this time to fight against the prince. I am accumulating food in Qujing  Desperately strengthening the army's equipment will only benefit him and not harm him, unless he is stupid, he will really be dissatisfied with me."

    "But I still feel too anxious." Zhu Fangdan emphasized worriedly.

    "It's not me who's anxious, it's Li Benshen. I didn't expect him to openly fall out with me so soon." Fatty Lu replied with a wry smile, and then said in a low voice: "But that's okay, I didn't expect that Li Benshen looks so stupid, but his mind is quite delicate  ¡ª¡ªThe excuses I found for turning my face were neither light nor serious, just right, not only indirectly proved my importance in front of Gan Wenkun, but also prevented others from catching me. After a while, you will arrange people and quietly send one thousand taels to Li Benshen  In the past, he is the most important confidant of the prince in Guizhou, and he must not be offended."

    "But, my lord, will the governor believe the double reed played by you and Li Junmen?" Zhu Fangdan was still extremely worried, and reminded in a low voice: "You can climb to the position of governor under the age of forty, no  Is it that simple?"

    "Of course he won't believe it completely right away, it should only be half-believed." Fatty Lu sneered, and said in a low voice: "However, if I use secret documents to sue him in front of the emperor, questioning him deliberately covering up Li Benshen and helping the confidants of the prince.  To strengthen the army, he must at least be convinced."

 Chapter 116 Gunpowder delivery problem

    ?

    (ps: Nearly 8,000 words of chapters are updated and ask for a monthly ticket. The monthly ticket can't even enter a hundred, and the pure wolf is about to cry.)

    The early stage of Miqing's artillery technology mainly benefited from the outstanding contribution of Kong Youde, the traitor father of Kong Sizhen. At that time, Kong Youde launched the Wuqiao Mutiny and sent troops to disturb Denglai.  Surrendering Jiannu not only brought a large number of sea ships to Jiannu, but also brought more important Hongyi cannons and skilled artillery, as well as cannon casting technology and Portuguese technicians, which made Jiannu artillery technology advance by leaps and bounds.  The incoming funds and raw materials quickly armed an artillery army that was quite powerful at the time.

    ?With this credit, Kong Youde was crowned king, but the Ming army lost its final technological advantage, and Jiannu also solved the difficult problem that had plagued him for many years in one fell swoop.  As a result, in the late period of the Liaodong War, only Wu Sangui's tribe in the Ming army had the last dozen or so Hongyi cannons, but the number of Jiannu heavy cannons exceeded 100, completely reversing the disadvantage of firearms.

    According to the original historical development, during Wu Sangui's rebellion against the Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui's army, which had already exhausted its Hongyi cannons, could only use the ultra-primitive artillery left by Mu Wangfu and cast during the Hongwu period to fight.  It's even more outrageous. When I arrived at my grandma's house, I aimed at the target and shot it out. It was absolutely no problem for the shell to deviate half a mile.  It is precisely because of this that Wu Sangui's army was helpless in the battle against the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing army was able to defend important cities such as Yuezhou, Wuchang, Anqing, and Xi'an until Wu Sangui died of illness.

    Contrary to Wu Sangui's army, during the San Francisco War, the Mite Qing army always had an absolute advantage in artillery. Xiaomazi's Western teacher Nan Huairen even forged at least 566 cannons for the Mite Qing.  , to help the Qing army massacre the Han army, including fifty-three Hongyi cannons, a total of 132 wooden shell iron-core cannons and copper Hongyi cannons that are useful for plateau warfare, and 240 Shenwei general cannons  , Eighty cannons of General Shengong, and sixty-one cannons of General Wucheng Yonggu.

    In addition, Dai Zi, a firearms genius, also invented and cast a batch of primitive howitzers (General Weiyuan Cannon) for Xiao Mazi, helping the Qing army to take advantage of the artillery in the battle of defending the city and attacking fortified battles.  Historically, after Wu Sangui died of illness, Wu Guogui, who was elected by Wu Sangui's generals as the generalissimo of the whole army, was killed by this kind of artillery in the Guiyang War.

    However, after Fatty Lu came to this era, will history still develop in this direction?

    of course not!  Because of his familiarity with history, Nan Huairen, the foreign devil who cast the most cannons for Xiao Mazi, died tragically at the hands of Fatty Lu's lackeys, and went to the underworld to cast cannons for the Yezhupi family.  After Fatty Lu returned to Yunnan, after more than a year of technical accumulation and preliminary preparations, Wu Sangui's cannon-casting work has finally entered the final stage, and more advanced and more brutal artillery than these artillery will soon come out!

    The cannon-casting process in the Ming and Qing dynasties was a very backward clay model method, that is, water and mud were used to make molds, and then molten iron was poured to cast, layers of bamboo shoots were combined, and cannons were cast section by section.  Clay molds have extremely high requirements for drying. Otherwise, once there is residual moisture inside, steam will be generated when it encounters molten iron, causing air bubbles and honeycombs to appear in the gun body, which is very easy to explode the chamber. Therefore, molds often need to be dried for a month.  In the weather, it will take two or three months to dry before it can be used.  What's more troublesome is that a set of molds can only be used once, and it will be scrapped when it is used up. It is conceivable that the casting speed and efficiency are so low.

    As a latecomer, of course Fatty Lu looked down on such a primitive casting process, but adopted a relatively advanced iron mold casting method, that is, casting a mold with pig iron, and then casting it into a hollow inside, with pipes at both ends that can be inserted into the mold.  The inner mold made of water is made of iron, and then two layers of slurry are coated on the inside of the outer mold. The first layer of slurry is made of fine rice husk ash and fine sand; the second layer of slurry is made of fine kiln coal.  made of water.  Then, the two petals are joined together, tightened with iron hoops, heated, step by step, and finally molten metal is cast into a cannon.

    The biggest advantage of this cannon casting method is that the size is uniform, the mold can be used repeatedly without drying for a long time, the efficiency of the cannon casting is naturally greatly improved, and there will be no bubble honeycomb, which can prolong the life of the cannon barrel and reduce the scrap rate, which is most beneficial  Mass casting.

    As an improvement, in addition to using lime, calcium carbide, soda ash and fluorite to desulfurize the pig iron and increase the life of the gun body, Fatty Lu, who was born as a senior student in the Department of Chemical Engineering, also adopted the internal mold water cooling method invented during the American Civil War.  During the process, cold water is constantly poured into the hollow inner mold with the tube, so that the inner layer of the gun barrel is cooled first. Under the thermal expansion and contraction, the iron density is concentrated to the inner layer of the gun barrel, and the inner layer is naturally harder than the outer layer.  The huge chamber pressure can also be distributed in the hardest inner layer of the gun barrel, which can maximize the life of the gun, and at the same time can further reduce the scrap rate and reduce the cost of casting the gun.

    On July 16th, the first Sanhao brand muzzle-loading smoothbore gun came out, and after careful boring and rough grinding,He stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Fatty Lu, for fear that his most proud subordinate would be stupid like this.

    "I understand! I know what to do!" Fatty Lu roared suddenly, overturned the wine table, rushed forward and hugged Wu Yingqi, and laughed loudly: "Second prince, I know what to do  , I know how to make the best firearms! Second Prince, thank you, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten these weapons!"

    "You, what kind of firearm are you going to make?" Wu Yingqi asked struggling.

    "I want to build a cluster rocket launcher! Build a cluster rocket launcher like a swarm of bees and a dragon out of water!" Fatty Lu roared: "With the current technology, it is absolutely no problem to make a super cheap primitive rocket! I want to use rockets, use primitive  Missile, throw explosives on the wild boar! I also want to build an airship, so that our Pingxi Palace soldiers can fly to the sky, and throw explosives directly on the wild boar from the sky! Blow up those stupid wild boars!!

 Chapter 117 You Can Believe

    ?

    Although Fatty Lu himself didn't know how many kinds of glue formulas he knew, but in order to hurry up and use convenience, Fatty Lu, who has always liked to make fake and shoddy products, simply used the common kraft glue in pharmacy as wood glue.  Using kraft glue and mulberry craft, I made three shoddy original rockets overnight¡ªin fact, most of the materials are the original second-level rockets, but the mouth of the dragon was changed to facilitate breaking.  The conical shape of the air, the second stage of the rocket was changed to explosives and detonators, and a balance wing and tail were added to maintain stability during launch. The Sanhao brand knockoff missile was declared a success.

    Early the next morning, Fatty Lu dragged Wu Yingqi, Wu Guogui, and Gao Dejie along with three accomplices, and went up to Nule Peak to try shooting again.  Because there were still targets left during the artillery test firing the day before, this test firing was even more trouble-free. We just cleared the site and protected the test site, and then installed it on a simple launcher to aim at the target. Fatty Lu personally lit it.  The lead wire of a Sanhao brand imitation missile, the silky fuse burning and quickly penetrated into the tail of the imitation missile, only heard a "swish", and the imitation missile dragged a fire snake and shot out, shooting three miles like lightning  outside target.

    With a loud bang, the Sanhao brand knockoff missile exploded about ten steps away from the left side of the target mound, blowing up earth, rocks, grass and leaves on the ground.  Fatty Lu's cheers also sounded, "Okay! Quickly, install the second rocket, and I will test fire again!"

    "Hoo-!" Another primitive rocket flew out, and exploded more than 20 steps behind the target. Fatty Lu also jumped up happily, clapping again and again, intoxicated with himself.  Seeing this scene, Wu Yingqi and Wu Guogui inevitably looked at each other in blank dismay. Wu Yingqi asked in confusion, "This thing is not as accurate as the Hongyi cannon? How could Yifeng be so successful?"

    "Second prince, you don't need to shoot very accurately!" Gao Dejie saw the meaning of the Sanhao brand knockoff missile at a glance, and exclaimed excitedly: "Second prince, you haven't realized that this rocket from Yifeng is not for  The fortifications are for field battles? Think about it, if on the battlefield, when the two armies are fighting, we suddenly shoot dozens or hundreds of these rockets into the enemy's dense formation, how many enemies can be killed?  Can the enemy's formation still become a formation? Blowing up the enemy's team, and we disperse it with a full blow, isn't it a sure chance of victory?"

    "That's right, this thing shoots extremely fast, and it's the nemesis of the enemy's cavalry." Wu Guogui also quickly came to his senses, and said: "The Hongyi cannon can't be used in field battles, mainly because it is too troublesome to load ammunition.  It takes two to three minutes to fire a cannon, and there is no way to restrain the enemy cavalry charge on the battlefield. As long as there are enough of these things, dozens or even hundreds of them can be fired easily in a short period of time, enough to blow up most of the enemy cavalry.¡±

    "Oh." Wu Yingqi reacted a little slowly, and it took a lot of time to understand the essence of it, but after reacting, Wu Yingqi also shouted happily, "That's right, that's the reason. On the field battlefield, this thing doesn't need  If you shoot too accurately, as long as there are enough of them, the power will be much greater than the Hongyi Cannon!"

    "This is to replace quality with quantity, and replace precision with vagueness!" Fatty Lu ran over at some point, and said proudly: "The best part is that the cost of this rocket is very low, and the propellant only needs to be filled with a catty.  Black powder can shoot two catties of explosives to the enemy's head, and it is very easy to manufacture. In addition to wood and bamboo, it can also be made of cheaper and more convenient thick paper tubes. The cost of a rocket is far away.  It is lower than the launch cost of a shell of the Hongyi Cannon. Using this rocket instead of the Hongyi Cannon on the field battlefield can save money, increase the firepower density, and increase the firing frequency to make up for all the defects of the Hongyi Cannon!  "

    "That's right, there is another great advantage of this thing." Gao Dejie nodded and said, "That is, it is light in weight, easy to carry and use, which can greatly reduce the logistical pressure, and can also achieve rapid maneuvering, without the need to carry hundreds of them with the army.  A thousand-jin Hongyi cannon."

    "General Gao, Second Prince, I have some good news to tell you." Fatty Lu said happily: "Because of the rush of time, I made a few rockets impromptu today, and the tail fins, balance wings and nozzles are still there.  There is room for improvement, as long as I have a little time, I can improve this rocket so that it can shoot more accurately, shoot farther, and be more convenient to manufacture and carry.¡±

    "Okay, do it quickly." Wu Yingqi nodded again and again, and said, "When the best rockets are produced, I will ask my father to manufacture them in large quantities and provide a large amount of equipment for our army in the Pingxi Palace."

    "If that's the case, then we can indeed build fewer Hongyi cannons. As long as we build dozens of them to attack fortifications, we can use this kind of rockets to replace them in field battles." Wu Guogui also nodded in agreement.  At the end, Wu Guogui asked curiously: "Also, Yifeng, you said last night that you can let our soldiers from Pingxi Palace fly to the sky.Preparations for the sacrifice of the country  But what makes the lower official even more distressed and painful is that it is still making things difficult for the higher-ups. Si Gege, who is in charge of the thirteenth yamen, failed to seduce the lower official because of sex.  , framed in different ways  "

    "Don't cry." Gan Wenkun handed a handkerchief in front of Fatty Lu, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the emperor knows your difficulties, and I know your difficulties, so I don't care about impeaching me.  I will blame you. Come on, wipe away the tears, don't let other people see."

    "Thank you, Governor." Fatty Lu agreed sobbingly, took the handkerchief and wiped away the tears on his face, but the painful tears in his eyes were still flowing down.

    "You can't completely blame Si Gege." Gan Wenkun comforted: "She is also loyal to the emperor, so she had to be careful about you. To be honest, I was also worried about you before, because Wu Sangui was really good to you, not only sent you  Taking up the official position in Qujing, and personally officiated the marriage, and married Xiao Gege from the Pingnan Palace to you, which is considered as a mountain of kindness to you."

    "He deliberately humiliated Prince Pingnan." Fatty Lu choked up and said: "Prince Pingnan has never dealt with him all his life. Little Gege and I fell in love with each other and voluntarily followed me to Qujing. He did nothing for me and Xiao Gege to marry me.  Well-intentioned, just to deliberately humiliate Prince Pingnan¡ªto let everyone in the world know that a seventh-rank servant from Pingxi Palace can marry Prince Pingnan's precious daughter."

    "You understand this, just know it in your heart." Gan Wenkun nodded, and asked again: "Then do you know that my uncle died at the hands of Wu Sangui? Our Gan family and their Wu family are also inseparable."  ?¡±

    "Yes? Is there such a thing?" Fatty Lu was full of surprise, and said, "Why haven't you heard about it?"

    "That was a matter of the former dynasty. At that time, Wu Sangui was the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty." Gan Wenkun said lightly, "After Wu Sangui surrendered to our Qing army, Lord Rui (Dorgon) pardoned all his previous sins,  So not many people know about it."

    "I see, so I see." Fatty Lu nodded again and again, with a look of sudden realization.  At the end, Fatty Lu asked anxiously: "Master Governor, then why don't you move the governor's office to Qujing immediately? This is the throat of Yunnan and Guizhou, and its location is extremely important. Only you can take precautions if you sit here."

    "This is not a trivial matter, we can only discuss it slowly." Gan Wenkun shook his head, and suddenly said seriously: "The emperor's secret order, Lu Yifeng accepts the order."

    "My minister Lu Yifeng accepts the order." Fatty Lu hurriedly saluted.

    "Lu Yifeng, it is absurd for you to impeach Gan Wenkun, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, for colluding with Wu Fan and harming the country for personal gain!" Gan Wenkun recited: "Gan Wenkun is the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou handpicked by me.  I am so loyal, how could I do such a thing of betrayal and ungratefulness? Absurd, extremely absurd!"

    "The humble minister is absurd, and the humble minister is a death penalty." Fatty Lu trembled slightly, with a look of extreme panic.

    "However, I thought you didn't know it beforehand. This move is also for the sake of being cautious and careful in handling errands, and I will forgive you for your innocence and will not be held accountable." Gan Wenkun changed his tone, "From now on, you must obey Gan Wenkun's orders, work hard, and do errands diligently.  This is it."

    "Lord Lu, can you trust Ben Du now?" Gan Wenkun asked with a smile.  (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com

    (ps: Continue to ask for a monthly pass. A monthly pass is nothing to the great gods, but to Fatty Lu, it is related to the order of a ranking.)

    After fully exchanging opinions and expressing feelings, we understand each other's situation and position, and deepen the understanding between the two parties.  Lu Fatzi and Gan Wenkun, the two great Qing loyalists, finally dispelled their past suspicions, and determined to reunite closely around the Qing emperor, the holy ancestor of the Qing Dynasty. Centering on the construction of the Eight Banners, they held high the great theory that the Qing emperor must withdraw the vassal  Banners, adhere to the Eight Banners spirit of not being afraid of suffering, not being afraid of suffering, and not being afraid of losing one's head. The first important task is to monitor the Pingxi Palace and remove the Wu Fan, and fundamentally change the passive situation of Yunnan and Guizhou falling into the hands of the Pingxi Palace.  Severely crack down on and suppress the wolfish ambitions of Wu Sangui, the traitor king of Pingxi, who tried to split the Qing Dynasty, overthrow the Qing Dynasty, and overthrow the privileges of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty!  Jackal intentions!

    After talking by the creek, the sun had completely set, and it was going to be completely dark in front of him, so Gan Wenkun lost his interest in continuing to inspect the harvest of the Eight Banners.  Under the coercion of Bai and Wu Sangui, he agreed to the national tax exemption of Baqi Fushou Gao, and it was impossible for Wu Sangui to cheapen his old enemy Gan Wenkun with Baqi Fushou Gao, which can make huge profits, so that Gan Wenkun would also get a share of it.  In the sea of ??gold and silver, there is no way to put an ingot in his pocket.  So after leading Fatty Lu back to the team, Gan Wenkun immediately ordered to return to Qujing City immediately.

    When we returned to Qujing City, it was already dark. Gan Wenkun was tired from the busy journey these two days, so he didn¡¯t talk to Fatty Lu by candlelight. He just settled down temporarily in the original governor¡¯s yamen, and Fatty Lu returned to himself.  rest at home.  But in the early morning of the next day, the sky was not yet full light, and when Fatty Lu was still snoring in bed, the people sent by Gan Wenkun pulled Fatty Lu out and ordered Fatty Lu to go to the Governor Xingyuan to pay a visit.

    Putting on his official uniform and hurried to the governor's office, Fatty Lu was slightly surprised that Gan Wenkun seemed to get up very early, because when he saw him, he, his brother Gan Wenkunjiong, and his son Gan Guocheng were all sweating.  It seemed that he had just returned from morning exercise.  Fatty Lu didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurried forward to salute, while Gan Wenkun waved his hand, and said: "Forget it, we are all from our own family. If we don't do it in public in the future, we just need to hold a fist together, and we don't need to be so troublesome."

    "Thank you, Governor, for your love, but I don't dare to do it." Fatty Lu said modestly, and then asked curiously: "Mr. Governor, do you still have the habit of doing morning exercises?"

    "I have been used to it since I was a child. I used to practice in Baoding and now in Guiyang. In addition to practicing martial arts, I also practice riding every morning." Gan Wenkun replied casually while asking the maid to wipe his strong muscles with a hot towel.  At the end, Gan Wenkun said casually: "But Yifeng, you have to strengthen your exercise. Get up in the morning to practice Wuqinxi, run, you can strengthen your body. Don't worry about it now. I heard that when my soldiers went to see you just now, you didn't  Wake up? This is not a good phenomenon, it needs to be corrected."

    "If you stayed up late last night designing rocket nozzles and researching the structure of airships until after four o'clock, I'm afraid you won't be able to get up before seven o'clock in the morning." Fatty Lu murmured in his heart, and said with an apologetic smile: "Your Excellency taught me a lesson,  Be sure to pay attention after being humbled, and strive to insist on getting up early and exercising."

    After a few gossips, Gan Wenkun turned to the main topic and said, "I called you here because I wanted you to take me to Nule Peak. I have heard that Wu Fan comes here several times a year.  The adjustment of the troops is to increase the number of troops in the Nule Peak camp. Now there are more than 3,000 troops stationed there. That place is not in power and has no important cities. It does not have much strategic value. Why does Wu Fan station so many there?  The military? It's an important situation, and I have to be there to see it with my own eyes."

    "Finally someone has noticed the camp at Nule Peak." Fatty Lu's heart sank, he quickly shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, it's not disobedience, it's just that it's useless if you go, the Wu Fan army there will not allow you  Those who enter the camp to patrol. Even humble officials cannot enter the inner camp of the Nule Peak camp now."

    "Why?" Gan Wenkun was taken aback, and asked, "Didn't you say that the camp was set up to monopolize the glazed mirror forging technology you invented? Why, even you can't get in now?"

    "Returning to Governor, the Nule Peak camp has now been divided into two camps, inside and outside." Fatty Lu explained: "Glass mirrors and glazed vessels are now forged in the outside camp.  , unable to enter the heavily guarded inner camp. Moreover, since half a year ago, the low-level skills were learned by the craftsmen of Wu Fan and the price of colored glaze gradually dropped, students are rarely able to enter even the outer camp."

    "Is there such a thing?" Gan Wenkun was stunned again, and quickly asked: "Then do you know why this happened? Why does Fan Wu attach so much importance to the inner camp of Nule Peak Camp?"

    &nbspLet's see what he looks like with your own eyes!  If we can really confirm that Sun Dianying is the descendant of Sun Chengzong's barbarian, then we will have a big handle on Wu Fan.  "

    If Fatty Lu finds excuses to evade, or deliberately delays time, then Gan Wenkun will definitely have doubts, at least whether Fatty Lu may have tipped off the news, but Fatty Lu offered to go to the Nule Peak camp immediately, and volunteered to invite this grandson  When Dianying and Gan Wenkun met, Gan Wenkun naturally had no doubts, and immediately agreed, and hurried back to the room to change clothes. Gan Wenjiong and Gan Guocheng also hurried back to change clothes, and ordered the soldiers to prepare horses.

    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fatty Lu escaped into the latrine under the pretext of urinating, then took out a short graphite pen from his sleeve, wrote a few words hastily on a small note, and then squeezed the note tightly and hid it.  And when it was time to go out and get on the horse, this little note was naturally stuffed into the hands of Xiao Erlang who passed the reins  , more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)

    (ps: Continue to ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket.)

    After discovering that Wu Sangui's army might have privately forged artillery in the Nule Peak Camp, and breaking out in a cold sweat, Gan Wenkun, the new governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, immediately decided to go to the Nule Peak Camp to find out in person.  Gan Wenjiong and his son Gan Guocheng hurriedly prepared their horses, pulled on a group of personal soldiers, accompanied Gan Wenkun and Lu Fatzi, and rushed to the camp of Nule Peak to question Xingshi.

    But it's a pity, I don't know that it's the bad idea of ??that bad plant, leaving a large piece of land next to Qujing City unused, but going to Nule Peak, more than 40 miles away, to build such a military camp, no matter what  Hurry up, it will take at least an hour to reach the destination.  Moreover, after passing the Sanchakou Fort, on the newly opened narrow road, there are groups of large carts, small carts, horse-drawn carts, oxcarts, unicycles, and unicycles, pulling heavy coal, limestone, clay, wood, iron ore and other industries.  The material was difficult to move, and the road was often blocked, which made it even more difficult for Gan Wenkun's team to move.

    "Why are there so many cars on this road?" Gan Wenkun turned to Fatty Lu, and asked sharply, "What are the stones and dirt on these cars used for? Is this always the case?"

    "Back to Governor, this road is not usually so crowded, but today Maybe it just happened to meet Nule Peak to replenish supplies today." Fatty Lu rarely said the truth in front of Gan Wenkun, "As for these stones  I don¡¯t know exactly what the mud and stones are for, but judging from the materials of these stones and mud, they should be used for burning lime and bricks, probably because the Nule Peak camp is going to expand the garrison barracks again.¡±

    Fatty Lu said so, but he didn't think so in his heart, he thought: "Okay, with these migrant workers blocking the road and delaying the trip, when the carrier pigeons fly to Nule Peak, Wu Guogui and Wu Yingqi's group will have more preparations and cooperation.  It¡¯s time to react. However, this road needs to be widened and rebuilt into a concrete road. It¡¯s not a problem at ordinary times, but if it¡¯s still so congested during wartime, it will delay major events.¡±

    "Expand the garrison barracks?" Gan Wenkun raised his eyebrows, thinking: "If this is the case, then the Wu Fan army in the Nule Peak Camp must be planning to stay for a long time. Qujing was originally the place where Wu Fan's Youzhen army was stationed.  Including the garrison at Nule Peak, Qujing is the state capital where the Wu Fan army is stationed the most besides Kunming. Under such circumstances, if my governor's office is moved to Qujing City according to the emperor's request, if the situation changes,  Wouldn't I be dumped right away?"

    Thinking of this, Gan Wenkun, who hadn't thought of Wu Sangui's nose, inevitably shuddered, and even had the thought, "Since Qujing is already so dangerous, why should I come here to die? Why don't I just hand it over to Fatty Lu?"  , Let him guard the throat of Yunnan and Guizhou for me, even if the situation changes, he will be the one who makes the dumplings, so I will have enough time to react in Guiyang?"

    Thinking about this idea, he managed to pass through the crowded convoys. After nearly two hours, Gan Wenkun's team finally arrived at the gate of the outer camp of the Nule Peak camp.  Wu Jun, who was guarding the gate of the camp, introduced the identities of Gan Wenkun and others, and explained the purpose of their visit. He said that the new governor, Mr. Gan, was going to inspect the camp at Nule Peak, and asked the soldiers guarding the gate to let them go immediately.  The Wu Junzuo leader refused, "No! No one is allowed to enter the camp without a passing badge, without a warrant from the Wangfu Jun or a former general (Wu Guogui)!"

    "I have a badge, and I have a badge to enter the foreign camp." Fatty Lu agreed repeatedly, and hurried to touch the token on his waist, but he didn't think about it, but found nothing.  In desperation, Fatty Lu had no choice but to plead: "General, I was in a hurry to go out today, and I forgot to bring my belt badge. I am Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Qujing County. There are many people here who know me. Are you accommodating one trip at a time?"

    "Master Lu, the last general also knows you." Nazuo Ling said with a straight face: "But you must also know how strict our military orders are in the Pingxi Palace, so there is no way, you should go back and get the waist badge.  "

    "Bastards! You guys are so brave" Gan Guocheng was furious, and was about to open his mouth to scold him, but Gan Wenjiong who was next to him grabbed him and said in a low voice: "Nephew, don't act rashly.  Temperance, if we really want to make a fuss, we will only suffer."

    "Yifeng, let them report to Wu Guogui, saying that the governor is going to inspect the camp." In desperation, Gan Wenkun had no choice but to give up the plan to kill Wu Guogui by surprise, and reported his intention according to the rules.  After Fatty Lu conveyed the words, Nazuoling finally issued an order.  Send people into the camp to inform Wu Guogui and ask for Wu Guogui's opinion.

    Going through the procedure to report to Wu Guogui first, undoubtedly gave Wu Guogui and others a lot of preparation time and contingency time. After half an hour, there was such a team that came from a distance to the gate unhurriedly.  , when I got closer and took a look, the leader?Only you can pass this level, and gain the trust of Pingxi Palace even more!  "Gan Wenkun said solemnly: "Take these two gifts and give them to Wu Sangui, and tell him that the reason why you have fallen to me during this time is to gain my trust and to extract unfavorable news from me for Wu Sangui.  In today's matter, you just staged a bitter trick in front of me, and you gained my trust through this, and you got these things from me. You can get more things from me in the future. What should you do next?  , I think you should understand, right?  "

    "Wonderful." Gan Guocheng said pleasantly: "Father's commander is really good. Lord Lu took these things to meet Wu Sangui. Everything today has been explained. At the same time, he can further gain Wu Sangui's trust, so as to touch the  Know the truth about the camp at Nule Peak, and get the real evidence of Wu Sangui's secret cannon casting!"

    "In order for Mr. Lu to regain Wu Sangui's trust, it is worth sacrificing some innocuous insiders!" Gan Wenjiong also categorically agreed.

    "Your Excellency, I am sorry for my humble position and dare not obey my orders." The only objection was Fatty Lu himself, who repeatedly shook his head and refused.

    "Lord Lu, are you stupid?" Gan Guocheng asked in surprise, "My father-in-law made so many sacrifices to keep you, yet you still refuse his kindness."

    "Two reasons." Fatty Lu said tremblingly: "First, I can't explain to Wu Yingqi about Sun Dianying. I told you about that person, Governor, and I asked him to come out to meet you, Governor.  , Wu Yingqi asked why, how can I explain it?"

    "It's not easy?" Gan Wenkun smiled and said, "Just tell Wu Yingqi that I mentioned Sun Dianying to you, that this person is worth noting, and I want you to help me find this person.  It's done? At that time, Wu Yingqi will only suspect that there are spies in his inner circle, so the news leaked to me, and you won't be cleared of the suspicion?"

    "This, this is a good idea." Fatty Lu hesitated for a moment, and said: "But my lord, please forgive me for being a humble official, but I still dare not accept orders¡ªYou know, my lord governor, because my humble official has a dedicated relationship and only loves the mess  Wife, rejected Si GeGe's seduction many times, Si GeGe probably felt that she had suffered a great shame, so she targeted the lowly position in everything, tried every means to frame the lowly position, and now the governor wants to sacrifice some loyal officials of the Qing Dynasty in order to keep the lowly position, let Si GeGe know  , don't you have something to say?"

    "About Sigege, don't worry." Gan Wenkun said with a sneer, "That bitch, because her personal desires are not satisfied, disregards the righteousness of the country, and wants to use the hands of the governor to frame a loyal man like you."  It can be seen that the loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty trapped the governor in a place of infidelity and injustice. It is also inappropriate for the governor to sacrifice a few of her servants. Don't worry, she will not know about it.  "

    "Then, that humble position is to thank the governor for your love." Fatty Lu finally agreed, wiping away his tears and saluted Gan Wenkun, and Gan Wenkun held Fatty Lu by his arm, and said softly: "Three good, no need, no need  Well, from now on, I will entrust you with all the big and small affairs of this governor in Qujing, the choke point. As long as you do your job well and strangle this throat of Yunnan and Guizhou for me, that is the best way to thank me.  "

    "Your Excellency's kindness to you is unforgettable." Fatty Lu shed tears again, choked up and said: "Please rest assured, Governor, when things happen suddenly, as long as the lowly position is still alive, this Qujing City will surely  It's still in the hands of the Qing court, and it's still in the hands of the Governor"

    "I believe, I believe you can do it." Gan Wenkun patted Fatty Lu's sobbing and trembling shoulders to comfort him, then smiled and said: "San Hao, I have heard about it for a long time, you are one of the rare masters of western learning in the Qing Dynasty  , after regaining Wu Fan¡¯s trust, if they ask you for help, you can help without reporting to me. In short, we must find a way to find out the truth about the camp at Nule Peak, and that Sun Dianying  the truth, do you understand?"

    "Humble jobunderstood." Fatty Lu choked up and nodded, feeling so grateful - he was thinking in his heart, "I barely passed this test. The next step, it seems, is to make the character Sun Dianying plump and full of flesh and blood.  Only then can I hide behind and concentrate on researching new weapons.

 Chapter 120 The Best Times

    (ps: From yesterday to now, only one monthly ticket has been added)

    When Gan Wenkun and Fatty Lu teamed up to send the news that the old traitor Wu might be secretly forging Hongyi cannons to the capital, no matter whether it was Xiao Mazi or Xiao Mazi's biggest and most reliable backer, the old hag Xiaozhuang  There is no time and energy to deal with this matter¡ªbecause on the third day of September in the eighth year of Qing Mazi, Oboi's nephew, Guarjia Fushun, suddenly took over the control of Luoguan in Changcheng Town!

    Originally, the small town of Zhenluo Pass was irrelevant at all, and the guard of Zhenluo Pass was just a regular fifth-rank pass defense, which was even more irrelevant. Moreover, Fushun was a regular fourth-rank assistant leader before, because he accidentally made a mistake  Being downgraded to two ranks by Aobai's righteous extermination of relatives, he was sent to Zhenluoguan as a garrison. For Aobai's behavior of hurting relatives and making enemies happy, Xiao Mazi's party should feel gloating.

    ¡ª¡ªBut the problem is that this Zhenluoguan is going to die, and it happens to be the only throat for the Rehe (Chengde) garrison to go south to the capital!  That is to say, when the incident happened suddenly, Xiao Mazi and Xiao Zhuang's secret garrison in Rehe wanted to go south to Qin Wang, whether it was public transfer or secret dispatch, it was impossible to escape Aobai's detection!  And at least one to two days of emergency response time can be provided for Oboi!

    Because even Xiao Mazi didn't know the importance of the Rehe garrison in advance, when the news reached the palace, Xiao Mazi didn't pay much attention to it at first, but the old witch of Xiaozhuang, who had experienced many storms, was uncharacteristically, and turned pale in shock.  Slapping the armrest of the seat, he exclaimed in shock: "How is it possible? How is it possible? How did Oboi detect this strange army that Ai's family secretly ambushed outside the pass? What's wrong? What's wrong?  ?¡±

    "Grandmother, the Rehe garrison was a surprise soldier you arranged?" Seeing Xiaozhuang's horrified look, Xiao Mazi immediately understood that something was wrong, and quickly asked, "Why didn't my grandson know about it beforehand?"

    Xiaozhuang didn't answer immediately, and after a long time, Xiaozhuang said with a dejected face: "Grandson, it's time to tell you now, as early as two years ago when you just took over the government, the Ai family had secretly started to control the Rehe garrison  Promote, transfer, or find excuses to demote the generals of the Guerjia family in the Rehe garrison, and replace them with the generals of the Shangsanqi who are loyal to our Aixinjueluo family.  At that time, it was used as a surprise soldier, and Oboi was caught off guard. In order to keep it secret, before this, the Ai family has not confide a word in front of you."

    "What? Then how did Oboi know?" Xiao Mazi was even more shocked than Xiaozhuang, and exclaimed: "Grandma, you have kept this matter from your grandson, how did Oboi know? What's the problem?  "

    Xiao Zhuang shook his head, and said slowly: "On the Rehe garrison, to be precise, only Aijia and Aunt Su Ma know the whole situation, and even Rehe Dutong, who secretly works for Aijia, only knows half of it¡ª¡ª  Aijia just let him expel General Guerjia from the Rehe garrison, and gave him a sealed decree, ordering him not to read the decree until he received a letter from Aijia's pigeon, and to act according to the decree for policy  What if. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Oboi to spy on such a secret action of the Ai family? Could it be that he discovered this through analysis of various clues?"

    "There are two other possibilities." Lagu Su Ma added: "One is that the whole incident was a coincidence. Aobai's reprimand of Fushun was indeed an act of righteousness and extermination of relatives. He just inadvertently arranged Fushun to work in Zhenluoguan. The second is that Aobai  They were also planning to garrison the Rehe army, but after some testing, they accidentally discovered Lafayette's arrangement, so they quickly took control of Zhenluoguan and strangled the entry of the Rehe garrison into Beijing."

    "Whether it's a coincidence or not is not important anymore. Even if it's a coincidence, if we try to find a way to transfer Fushun away, we will only scare the snake even more." Xiaozhuang shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The important thing is that in this way, we will be more passive.  Well, the Rehe Raiders that were painstakingly arranged before have lost their effect. In this case, if there is any change in the Rehe garrison, Obai will immediately understand that we are going to attack!"

    This time it was Xiao Mazi who stopped talking. He had been thinking about it for a long time with a pockmarked face, but suddenly Xiao Mazi slapped the dragon table heavily, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Grandmother, the matter has come to an end, there is no use regretting it, grandson!"  My son asks grandmother for permission to allow my grandson to launch the Martial Heroes Project, and fight Oboi to the death!"

    "Don't be impulsive!" Xiao Zhuang categorically vetoed it, and said solemnly: "Now the military power of the Nine Sects has fallen into the hands of Oboi, and nearly half of the Fengtai camp and Miyun garrison have been controlled by Oboi's followers.  Even if your Martial Heroes plan is successful, if you bring Oboi to justice, Oboi's party members all over the government and the public will not agree, and they may even fight back and kill you, my grandparent, and my grandson!"

    "But if grandson doesn't take the risk, Oboi won't let grandson and grandma go!" Xiao Mazi casually grabbed the golden inkstone on the dragon table, nervous as if venting.bsp; "Satisfied! Why aren't you satisfied?!" Wu Sangui patted Fatty Lu heavily on the shoulder, and laughed loudly: "Yifeng, although you are not short of money, I must reward you today! You must not refuse like before! Say  ,what do you want?!"

    "My lord, I really want a reward today." Fatty Lu replied seriously: "After the humble job is proposed, I beg you to agree."

    "Tell me, Gu will agree to everything!" Wu Sangui said with a smile, "But if you are the granddaughter Wu Xiaotu who wants Gu, Gu can't immediately agree, I can only ask Guogui for you." ¡ªBy the way,  Wu Yingqi and Gao Dejieke told Wu Sangui as a joke long ago that Fatty Lu hit Wu Xiaotu's idea.

    "My lord misunderstood me. I didn't want my lord to betroth my granddaughter to my lord today." Fatty Lu lowered his voice, and whispered into Wu Sangui's ear, "My lord wants to ask my lord to reward me with a favor and allow me to kneel three times to my lord."  Knock nine times and shout three times¡ªLong live!"

    Wu Sangui's face changed color, and he looked left and right, seeing that they were all curious, obviously they didn't hear what Fatty Lu said, so Wu Sangui was relieved, glared at Fatty Lu, and cursed: "Nonsense?  Is there anyone who wants to be rewarded like this?! Gu has decided, this reward will not be given!¡ª¡ªI will talk about it later."  , Support genuine reading!)

 Chapter 121

    ?

    With the arrival of the first day of the first lunar month in the ninth year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, the Pingxi Palace, which lives in a corner, has also ushered in the best era since the establishment of the mansion.  In the past year, relying on monopolizing the exclusive planting rights and export tax-free rights of the Eight Banners Fushou Gao, the Pingxi Palace has earned a full three hundred  The fiscal revenue of more than two hundred thousand taels of silver, ranging from Prince Wu Sangui to ordinary soldiers and vassals, needless to say, each of them made a lot of money, and it completely made up for the fatal weakness of the Pingxi Palace's inability to support itself in food and wages.  The necessary degree of financial dependence of the Qing court was also greatly reduced.

    Faced with such a situation, most of the civil and military generals of the Pingxi Palace and the family members of the vassals and vassals are of course blushing, their wallets are bulging, and they worship Wu Sangui and Fatty Lu who brought them this fetish like gods. Wu Sangui has also done it several times.  Waking up from the dream with a smile, I am extremely grateful to God for giving me such a living treasure as Fatty Lu¡ª¡ªliving treasure for short.  However, some people of insight in the Pingxi Palace, such as Wu Sangui's four great think tanks Hu, Liu, Wang, Fang, and Wu Sangui's Xia Guoxiang, Liu Yi, Gao Dejie, Guo Zhuangtu, Qiu Kesun and Yang Shanzi, etc.  , but they were all worried about this situation, discussing with each other to find an opportunity to remind Wu Sangui.

    The best opportunity is undoubtedly in the few days after New Year's Eve. In order to celebrate the New Year, most of the backbone of Pingxi Palace, including Lu Fatty, the number one rising star of Pingxi Palace, all returned to Kunming with their families, and  Wu Sangui celebrated the Spring Festival together. Basically, apart from Wu Yingxiong, who was held hostage by Xiao Mazi in the capital, all the wolves, tigers and leopards in the Pingxi Palace had arrived.  After a few days of intense preparation, on the second day of the first lunar month, the four major think tanks of Pingxi Palace, Lu Fatzi, Xia Guoxiang, Liu Yi, Gao Dejie and more than ten people came to Yin'an Hall together, and jointly asked Wu Sangui to receive him.  .

    After waiting patiently for a long time, Wu Sangui, who was still drinking on his face, finally arrived at the Yin'an Hall. He was not wearing the prince's formal attire, but casual clothes.  I sent people to drink and celebrate with you, why did you all refuse? Why are you all here now? Walk around, it¡¯s rare to have a good year, and you need to celebrate more, and accompany me to Anfu Garden to drink.  Let¡¯s talk about what¡¯s going on there.¡±

    "Father-in-law, if we have important matters to report, we should ask father-in-law to speak in the Yin'an Hall." Hu Guozhu, the eldest son-in-law of the old traitor Wu, kowtowed and said.

    "Important matter?" Wu Sangui was taken aback, and said, "For the New Year's Eve, is there any important matter that we can't talk about in a few days?" Even so, Wu Sangui still didn't insist on objecting when he saw many hard-core confidants kneeling in Yin'an Hall with serious faces.  Soon he sat on the Tuanlong Chair in the middle of Yin'an Hall, accepted the etiquette of the hard-core dog legs according to the rules, and said: "Pingshen, if you have anything to say, just say it."

    Everyone was not in a hurry to talk, only Hu Guozhu gave a wink to Cao Zhangyin Liu Yi, the number one financial expert in Pingxi Palace, Liu Yi understood, came out and knelt down on his knees, holding out a thick account book but did not open it  , and said directly: "My lord, the financial revenue of my Pingxi Palace in the eight years of Kangxi's reign is as follows: Yunnan land tax, Ding tax and salt tax and other taxes totaled 293,326 taels of silver.  Three cents of the money, one hundred and five thousand two hundred and ninety-seven taels of silver for various taxes in Guizhou, and one cent of the money for the Eight Banners Fushou Gao in Yunnan, which was allocated by the imperial court  The military salary is 3.4 million taels."

    "The total income is 7,055,616 taels and 4 cents. Compared with last year's 3.72 million taels, the increase has almost doubled!" said  Now, Liu Yi paused, and then said in a deep voice: "If we add the secret income of my Pingxi Palace's private mining of copper coins and mining of gold sand, the financial revenue of my Pingxi Palace this year has actually exceeded eight million.  Two! Excluding military pay, weapons, salaries and other expenses, the actual savings are more than 4.8 million taels!"

    "Zuochang (character Liu Yi), Gu has asked you for this number several times, and how many times have you reported it carefully?" Wu Sangui said with a smile on his face: "These are all thanks to you, especially  Yifeng, your Eight Banners Fushou Ointment has really helped our Pingxi Palace a lot, starting from this year, we no longer have to be afraid of being choked by others."

    "Father-in-law, please listen to Master Liu's performance first." Hu Guozhu reminded with a serious face.  Wu Sangui was taken aback, quickly lifted his spirits, and made a gesture to Liu Yi to continue talking.

    "My lord, because the imperial court is investigating the grain case in Gansu, Wang Hongzuo, the former Minister of the Household Department and a native of Baoshan, Yunnan, has been dismissed and interrogated, and replaced by Hao Weina, who is at odds with our Pingxi palace, so the ministers and others can no longer directly control the imperial court.  The financial revenue and expenditure can only be inferred based on public information analysis, and roughly estimated." Liu Yi said unhurriedly: "Weichen and others estimate that the imperial court in Kangxi??Familiar numbers.

    "Then you hope that this king will draw out two million taels of silver to expand his armaments, and how do you plan to spend the money?" Wu Sangui asked again.

    "Return to the lord, the ministers and others have already listed the expenditure details!" Liu Yi raised his hands above the head of the account book in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The humble staff have been working non-stop these days, and have already compiled a detailed list of armaments. Guaranteed  Spend every penny of the prince's money wisely, please take a look at it!"

    "Don't look at it." Wu Sangui waved his hand, suddenly slapped the dragon case in front of him, and shouted: "Add double for this king, and do the calculation again! Don't you want two million taels? This king will give you four hundred."  Ten thousand taels! This king is already fifty-six this year. If you don¡¯t bring the silver with you when you die, instead of leaving it in the treasury to mold, it¡¯s better to leave some life-saving magic weapons for the descendants of the Pingxi Palace! Let people all over the world,  They dare not take our Pingxi Palace as a fish and slaughter it!"

    "My lord is holy, my ministers and others swear to die to be loyal to your lord!" Fatty Lu and the others were overjoyed, kowtowed and shouted together, Liu Xuanchu, Fang Guangchen and other old people even burst into tears, and finally saw Wu Sangui's high spirits for once.

    "Also, give Yifeng 50,000 taels alone!" Wu Sangui pointed at Fatty Lu again, and shouted, "Yifeng, let me continue to make those Western things you told Gu back then, the more the better! The more powerful the better!  Good! Also, the airship you mentioned last year to Qi and Gao Dejie, which can let lonely soldiers fly to the enemy to throw explosives on the airship, you must make it for Gu! It¡¯s done, Gu Daigui  Be the master, I promise you my granddaughter Xiaotu!"

    "Thank you, my lord, for your trust." Fatty Lu replied loudly: "Within this year, if you can't let the lord's sons fly into the sky and fly freely, please ask your lord to punish you!"

    "Okay, Gu believes in you!" Wu Sangui took another look at the Tuanlong case, suddenly slowed down, and said with a smile: "Okay, if there is nothing else, let's accompany me to Anfu Garden for a drink.  It was picked from the wine table, and the guests over there are still waiting for loneliness."

 Chapter 122 Promotion Crisis

    ?

    Four million taels of real gold and silver was spent on military expenditures, and the effect is naturally extraordinary. In just one month, three places in Erhai, Chuxiong and Xinxing (now Yuxi) in Yunnan built three buildings at lightning speed.  Similar to the firearms production base at the Nule Peak Camp¡ªoh no, it should be called the Sun Dianying Cement Production Base now. Under the guidance of skilled technicians trained at the Nule Peak Camp, they are desperately making coke, smelting iron, burning cement, and burning glass.  While distilling sulfuric acid to refine nitric acid, the production process is simple and relatively safe. There are also nitroglycerin and Sanhao brand safety explosives, which are not as complicated as there are, and Sanhao brand safety explosives. In addition, the original missiles are produced according to strict specifications, casting  The Red Barbarian Cannon, the war machine of the Pingxi Palace, provides war resources in an endless stream.

    Of course, while guarding Yunnan and Guizhou to prevent the chieftains in the country and Annan in Myanmar outside the country, if we want to provide enough troops to ensure the safety of these three new firearms camps, in addition to these three camps, Wu Sangui's army has to  To provide manpower and military protection for the two new cold weapon forging workshops, so the 17,000 troops on the surface of the Pingxi Palace alone are definitely not enough.

    But the good thing is that our Lord Pingxi has never been very honest in this regard. Almost none of the soldiers who were disarmed twice in the 17th year of Shunzhi and the 4th year of Mazi left Yunnan.  The largest source of reserve troops, and these veterans are rich in experience, and after a little retraining when they are brought back, they will immediately become the main force of Wu Sangui's subordinates.

    In addition to the previously abolished veterans, another important source of Wu Sangui's reserve force is the children of the Pingxi Palace.  It has reached hundreds of thousands. These young people of Pingxi Palace have followed Wu Sangui's army in the South and North Wars since they were born, and they have been familiar with the military affairs for a long time. They are the best and most reliable reserve soldiers.  With more training, you can become a strong army in no time.  Now that Wu Sangui had made up his mind to defend himself, the second and third generation children of the Pingxi Palace naturally had a place to use their talents.

    In addition, there is another little-known fact that Wu Sangui also has a non-staffed army with no formal organization but super combat effectiveness.  With more than 5,000 people as the core, this army can be expanded several times in an emergency. It is good at using giant swords and earth cannons as weapons, and likes to wrap its head in white cloth. It is known as its bravery and invincibility in battle!  In history, he followed Wu Sangui from Yungui to the Hunan battlefield and Pingliang, Gansu, and made great contributions to Wu Sangui!  In the case of actively strengthening the armament, Wu Sangui naturally had to work hard on this powerful army for great use.

    (Note: The â£â£±ø is by no means a fiction. Historical materials clearly record: "Qing Ma Zu Veritable Record", "Ming Dynasty Barnyard History Compilation", "Continued Yunnan Tongzhi" and "North Korea Li Dynasty Veritable Record. Suzong". The sound is the same as the fruit  .)

    So, under the instigation and guidance of Fatty Lu, who likes evil tastes, Wu Sangui drew out the long-reserved grassroots general talents from the main force, and used them as the backbone to bring the old to the new, and established the urban management team, security team, and military team of Pingxi Palace.  A large number of semi-militarized organizations, such as caravan protection teams, demolition teams, and security patrols, have expanded their troops by nearly 10,000 people in disguise, quickly filling the vacancies that Wu Sangui's army urgently needs, and taking the opportunity to train them strictly so that they can come and come.  Those who can fight, those who can fight can win!

    The heaviest task is of course the Nule Peak camp that Fatty Lu is directly in charge of. After doubling its size again, the Nule Peak Camp will not only provide technical and talent support for the three newly built firearms camps, but also need a steady stream of resources.  Continuous development and improvement of firearms production technology.  Especially the safe production technology of nitroglycerin, which made Fatty Lu worry a lot of gray hair. In the end, after more than a dozen production explosions, Fatty Lu remembered the fact that copper and sulfuric acid do not easily react, and racked his brains.  Only then did I figure out a safer production method.

    Fatty Lu¡¯s new method is to put the copper container behind the flowing river water, use the running water to cool the container to produce nitroglycerin, and pour the nitroglycerin into the river to avoid explosion in case of danger, which greatly reduces the production cost of nitroglycerin.  risk factor.  However, considering the production cost, technical difficulty, complex process and risk factor, after high-level consultations in the Pingxi Palace, the plan to use Sanhao brand safety explosives as the main gunpowder was finally abandoned, and it was changed to one with lower cost and easy production.  Sanhao brand nitrocellulose, Sanhao brand explosives took a back seat, and were decided to be mainly used for mountain blasting, as well as for attacking fortifications on the battlefield¡ªthat is, the famous tunnel blasting city wall tactic.  This tactic had been used by Kong Youde as early as the Songjin battlefield in the late Ming Dynasty, and Wu Sangui's army was very familiar with it.

    With the four major firearms factories operating at full capacity to produce new types of gunpowder at the same time, the problem of raw materials has once again become prominent.??Because Governor Gan¡¯s previous actions had already alarmed the enemy, Wu Sangui¡¯s thieves at the Nule Peak camp had already removed most of the evidence.  A musket mold that was not destroyed in time.  There are also mountains of black coking coal, raw cement and finished products being calcined, semi-finished colored glaze, and a very small amount of cotton with unknown uses.  ,

    On the same day, Governor Gan ordered the entire camp to search for a middle-aged scholar named Sun Dianying, but found nothing. It is believed that this mysterious scholar named Sun Dianying had already fled in advance.

    In the early morning of the next day, Wu Sangui's army of 1,000 light cavalry, led by Wu Sangui's second son, Wu Yingqi, arrived at the Nule Peak Camp and asked Gan Wenkun to leave the Nule Peak Camp, claiming that the Nule Peak Camp was just an ordinary construction site for calcining cement and colored glaze.  , black gunpowder is used to make firecrackers, solid iron bullets are used for solid land, musket molds are made by craftsmen privately, and fire dragons are semi-finished products¡ªthis kind of weapon is not prohibited.  As for the newly cast Hongyi cannon salvaged by Governor Gan, the second prince Wu Yingqi insisted that it was not owned by his own army, let alone that the cannon came from the Nule Peak camp.

    After a fierce dispute, because there was not enough evidence to prove that the two red barbarian cannons came from the Nule Peak camp, and considering Wu Yingqi's murderous aura, Gan Wenkun, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou in the Qing Dynasty, chose to withdraw temporarily, withdraw from the Nule Peak camp, and send the two  Men Hongyi's cannon and some of the criminal evidence found were escorted by heavy soldiers, and escorted to the capital to present to the emperor.

    On the night of the same day, Wu Sangui, Prince of Pingxi in the Qing Dynasty, impeached Gan Wenkun, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, to frame him out of thin air, and claimed that the two red barbarian cannons were old objects from the Ming Dynasty.

 Chapter 123 Tactical Deception

    ?

    (ps: I wish all my friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance, and ask for a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket by the way.)

    The old traitor Wu made such a big move in Yunnan, of course it is impossible for Xiao Mazi and Aobai to be unaware of the capital thousands of miles away¡ªat least the court eyeliner headed by Gan Wenkun and Lu Fatty reported to them every three days,  A report on the cruelty and greed of the old man Wu, breaking the law and discipline, committing crimes, embezzlement and bribery, bullying men and women, exploiting the common people, poisoning living beings, supporting soldiers to self-respect, raising thieves for self-enrichment, smuggling and prohibition, deceiving the king, conspiring to usurp, etc.  A heinous and bloody crime.

    By the way, compared with the detailed reports and clear descriptions, Fatty Lu, the magistrate of Qujing County in the Qing Dynasty, is definitely the most outstanding among these people.  Reports such as "Pingxi Wangfu Insider Revealed", "Yungui Bloody Record", "Wu Sangui's Ambition", "Black Moon. Wuhua Mountain", "The Beast Training Center-Records of the Pingxi Wangfu Recruit Camp" and so on.  The documentary literature of conscience, with pictures and texts, tearfully accused Wu Sangui and his lackeys of numerous crimes, and also won the unanimous praise of the rulers of the Qing Dynasty.

    In fact, for Xiao Mazi and other Qing rulers, it doesn't matter whether Wu Sangui is corrupt, lustful, greedy, and fishy.  rest assured!  For Xiao Mazi and other Qing rulers, what really matters is whether Wu Sangui has the ambition to rebel and whether he has the power to threaten Xiao Mazi's dominance.  In this way, Wu Sangui's crazy expansion of armaments in Yunnan and Guizhou in the ninth year of Kang Mazi, of course, made the ruler of Xiaomazi Qing Dynasty sleepless, like a thorn in his throat.

    Of course, Xiao Mazi's military accomplishments are not as profound as the mite survivors advocate¡ªotherwise, he would not have used all the power of the whole country to conquer Galdan himself three times, and finally let him die comfortably in the belly of a woman immediately  on.  But Xiao Mazi is definitely not ignorant of military affairs. At least Xiao Mazi knows very well that wars are fought with human, material and financial resources. Xiao Mazi's ancestors were able to overthrow the Ming Dynasty because of shit luck.  Disasters led to refugee uprisings, and the collapse of the Ming Dynasty from within allowed Xiao Mazi's ancestors to take advantage of the sky, but it is not the case now.

    Since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the natural disasters on the land of the Central Plains have been significantly reduced, people's hearts have gradually stabilized, the population and the economy have recovered rapidly, and the ruling foundation of the Qing Dynasty has become increasingly consolidated, presenting a scene of prosperity, which is far from comparable to the Ming Dynasty regime during the Chongzhen period.  However, Yunnan and Guizhou under Wu Sangui's semi-control are not only sparsely populated, but also known as poor provinces from ancient times to the present. Food and military pay have never been self-sufficient for a year.  The strength is still far from being able to compare with the Central Plains controlled by the Qing rulers.

    Fortunately, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces have never been major horse-producing provinces, and neighboring Sichuan and Tibet cannot produce many war horses. At the same time, the surrounding areas of Yunnan and Guizhou are not suitable for cavalry raids and wars.  , using the cavalry advantage to gradually weaken Mi Qing's strength, so Xiao Mazi has full confidence that no matter how crazy Wu Sangui develops his armaments, he will not be able to threaten his dominance by force.  Even if he used human life, money, food and materials, he could still kill Wu Sangui¡ª¡ªthe facts proved that it was true.

    The only thing that worries Xiao Mazi is the issue of firearms, because Xiao Mazi himself is a Western science and technology enthusiast. He has been exposed to countless Western firearms that ordinary people cannot touch.  So there are these dangerous gunpowder weapons.  Xiao Mazi was even worried that if these gunpowder weapons were allowed to continue to develop, they might even completely reverse the Eight Banners¡¯ superiority in bows, arrows and horses, and even reverse the strategic balance of comprehensive strength.  root cause.

    Because of this, when it was learned that Wu Sangui was crazy about expanding his armaments and setting up multiple firearms factory battalions to desperately produce and research gunpowder weapons¡ªthis can be seen from Wu Sangui¡¯s crazy purchase of saltpeter and sulfur.  He turned pale with shock, but he was also worried about it, having trouble sleeping and eating, and was extremely concerned about the development of Wu Sangui's army's firearms.  What makes Xiao Mazi angry is that even though he has sent countless eyeliners to his side, and even bought Lin Tianqing, the old man from Pingxi Palace, Yunnan governor Lin Tianqing, Wu Sangui's army still doesn't know anything about the development of firearms.  Xiao Mazi didn't even know whether Wu Sangui's army had cast the Hongyi cannon commonly used by the Qing army, which caused Xiao Mazi to repeatedly scold his confidant Gan Wenkun, who he single-handedly promoted, and Gan Wenkun went to letter to Lu in three days and two days.  Fatty urged, and was very dissatisfied with Fatty Lu's behavior of occupying the latrine and not excreting.

    Kung Fu pays off, just when Xiao Mazi was almost desperate, on September 12th in the ninth year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, Xiao Mazi"It was difficult in the past, but now we have a chance." Xiong Cilu's voice became colder and colder, "Si Gege, do you still remember that Lu Yifeng's post of Qujing county magistrate will be held for three years in two or three months?"  It¡¯s full, if we can transfer Lu Yifeng out of Yungui and force him to stay away from Wu Sangui, wouldn¡¯t everything come to light?¡±

    "Will the emperor agree?" Kong Sizhen said worriedly: "The emperor gave the Qujing green camp to Fatty Lu's cousin, which is equivalent to entrusting the throat of Yunnan and Guizhou to Fatty Lu. In this case, the emperor will agree to transfer Lu Yifeng.  Izumo Gui, let the previous arrangements go to waste?"

    "The emperor probably won't agree." Xiong Cilu said with a sinister smile: "But I believe that the emperor will not mind testing Lu Yifeng's loyalty again to see if Lu Yifeng is worthy of further entrustment? And those red stars cast by Wu Sangui?"  Does Yi Cannon have anything to do with it?"

    Kong Sizhen's eyes lit up, and after thinking for a while, Kong Sizhen suddenly cast a glance at Xiong Cilu, stretched out his hand to pinch Xiong Cilu's handsome face, and said with a coquettish smile, "You, bad, really bad."

    (Note: Wu Sangui's method of making arrows and inspecting armor is recorded in "Ping Wu Lu". This historical material also records that after Xiao Mazi knew that Wu Sangui's weapons were so excellent, he was also uneasy, and deliberately sent his confidant Wu Dan to Kunming to reward bows and arrows.  To spy on the real combat power of Wu Sangui's army, Wu Sangui adopted Hu Guozhu's strategy, deliberately selected old and weak soldiers to form an army, let Wu Dan inspect the military parade at will, and successfully deceived Xiao Mazi-Xiao Mazi's strategy is definitely not as powerful as the mites boasted, Wu Sangui  It¡¯s not as stupid as mite legacy belittles.)

Just let me know, because tomorrow Pure Wolf will go to my parents¡¯ house to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Tomorrow¡¯s update, Pure Wolf can only be said to be my best effort. If you have to ask for leave, Pure Wolf  It will also be notified in a single chapter.)

    When the first snow fell in the capital, the turmoil of Wu Sangui's private casting of Hongyi cannons finally came to an end. Given that there is no direct evidence, it is impossible to prove that the two Hongyi cannons captured by Gan Wenkun were illegally cast by Wu Sangui.  The Qing court had no choice but to accept Wu Sangui's explanation and ruled that the two Hongyi cannons were refurbished old cannons¡ªit was only because the refurbishment was so good that Gan Wenkun mistook them for new cannons.  These two 'refurbished' cannons were also used by Xiao Mazi under the pretext that the refurbishment technology was too good to be learned, and they stayed in the capital for the Beijing Cannon Foundry Bureau to study and study, and they would not return them to Wu Sangui.

    In addition, in order to further verify the firearms and equipment of Wu Sangui's army, and to contain Wu Sangui's military development, Xiao Mazi sent Mingzhu's nephew, the minister of the guard, and the imperial guard with a sword Wu Dan as an imperial envoy to Wu Sangui's army to reward Western soldiers.  With a hundred muskets and a thousand pairs of bows, they took the opportunity to find out the truth and the true military situation of Wu Sangui's army.  Although this move will definitely not have much effect, at least it can grasp the first-hand information, and at the same time give Wu Sangui a warning in disguise, warning Wu Sangui not to do whatever he wants, implying that the emperor has been staring at him¡ª¡ª  Under the current situation where Oboi is severely constrained, this is the strongest sound that Xiao Mazi can make.

    When the second snow fell in the capital, the Eight Banners Fushou Cream Shop secretly manipulated by the Pingxi Palace set off firecrackers to celebrate the opening of the 32nd branch of the Eight Banners Fushou Cream Shop.  All of them were replaced with the new Eight Banners Fushou Ointment produced in Yunnan this year for sale, and among the more than 200,000 bannermen in Beijing, more than 100,000 bannermen fell in love with this panacea from the bottom of their hearts, and scrambled to get the panacea that they had just received from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.  The grains and rice that arrives are sent to these drug stores, and they are exchanged for wisps of green smoke that is inhaled into the lungs, enjoying the supreme pleasure of being immortal.

    Also addicted to drugs are Baqi Banner Ding from his hometown in Northeast China, as well as their family members, parents and brothers. The climate in Northeast China is cold, the land is sparsely populated, and the life of Banner people is monotonous. There are almost no entertainment facilities.  The speed is inevitably faster.  Also addicted are the Han officials and wealthy merchants in the capital, as well as the Eight Banners Manchus, Han landlords, rich salt merchants, officials and generals in major cities in the south of the Yangtze River.

    The money from the capital, the money from the Northeast, the money from the south of the Yangtze River, and the money from the West flow into Yunnan and Guizhou like the tide.  The calls from the Qing court to impose heavy taxes on the Eight Banners Fushou Gao are growing louder, and there are also calls for the Pingxi Palace to release the control of the Eight Banners Fushou Gao, so that other provinces can also have the opportunity to plant the Eight Banners Fushou Gao to get rid of poverty and become rich.  , Inside and outside the Great Wall, the sound shook the sky.

    It is a pity and it is of course that Wu Sangui is not that stupid. Even if Wu Sangui agrees, Wu Sangui's gang of wolves and hungry tigers will definitely not agree.  In the Pingxi Palace, the call for Yunnan and Guizhou to be independent and get rid of the control of the Qing court is also quietly sounding.

    The eyes of envy have spread all over China, the eyes of greed and jealousy have also flooded the government and the public, the seeds of hatred have sprouted, the existing contradictions are intensifying, and the gunpowder of conflicts has also been accumulating, where is the fuse of the outbreak?  Will it be ignited again on that day?

    Wu Sangui and his think tank were thinking about this problem, Obai was also thinking about it, and Xiao Mazi was thinking about it even more.  But at this time, the time for the civil servants and generals in Yunnan and Guizhou to change their three-year term has come, and the time for the three-year term of the cronies promoted after Xiao Mazi took office has also arrived. Wu Sangui, Obai and Xiao Mazi  The personnel dispute also gradually kicked off.

    The first conflict in the personnel dispute between Xiao Mazi and Obai was of course Mo Luo, the governor of Shanxi Province.  Everyone rides on the head of the Han people to control the central government and local government.  This is actually a conflict between Oboi and Xiao Mazi's ruling ideas. Let's not talk about him for now, but the personnel conflict between Xiao Mazi and Wu Sangui is actually a conflict over who will control the military and political power in the Southwest.

    It's also why Wu Sangui didn't fight with Xiao Mazi on this matter. In just a few months, the three-year term of office was about to expire. There were actually governors of Yunnan Lin Tianqing, governors of Guizhou Tong Fengcai, and governors of Sichuan Zhang Dedi who were closely related to Yunnan and Guizhou.  Three crucial local officials, as well as a large number of local guards, including Wang Fuchen, the general soldier of Youzhen in Yunnan, Tian Jinxue, the general soldier of Yongbei in Yunnan, the general soldier of Weining, Guizhou, the general soldier of Zhenyuan and the general soldier of Qianxi, etc.  During this period of time, if Wu Sangui does not compete with Xiao MaziI am not at ease if my loyal and capable ministers are placed there.  So I had no choice but to continue to wrong Lu Aiqing.  "

    "The emperor still wants to keep Fatty Lu in Qujing." Xiong Cilu's heart sank, knowing that the worst prediction had really happened.  But Xiong Cilu was not in a hurry, he just peeked at Xiao Mazi's face, and said more cautiously: "Your Majesty, since Qu Jing is so important, and Lord Lu's responsibility is so great, why doesn't your majesty consider testing Lord Lu again? Look at Lu  Is your lord worthy of a further important task?"

    "Test Lu Aiqing again?" Xiao Mazi was a little surprised, and asked, "Why do you need to test? How?"

    "Your Majesty, there is a very strange thing about my minister." Xiong Cilu said unhurriedly: "Why did Wu Fan's army suddenly think of casting artillery and developing firearms after Mr. Lu arrived at Wu Fan's place?  Fan relies on the Eight Banners drug cream to make a lot of money and has ample money, but why is Wu Fan's first firearms camp not located in Kunming? Why should it be located in Qujing Prefecture?"

    Xiong Cilu's words just hit Xiao Mazi's vital point. Xiao Mazi, who had doubts about this for a long time, frowned slightly, and his doubts inevitably deepened.  Xiong Cilu looked at his words and took the opportunity to say: "Of course, this is not ruled out to be a coincidence. Lord Lu has also repeatedly stated that he knows nothing about firearms. When he said that he helped Wu Fan forge firearms, I was the first one not to believe it!  ¡ª¡ªHowever, your majesty, you also know that Mr. Lu is too proficient in Western learning. The Eight Banners drug cream and glass mirror made in Qujing are a sensation in the world.  Firearms help, so what?"

    Xiao Mazi frowned even tighter, and said after a while: "Continue talking."

    "I obey the order." Xiong Cilu agreed, and said: "In view of these circumstances, I think, why not take the opportunity of Lord Lu's three-year term to carefully test Lord Lu's loyalty to the emperor, and observe  Wu Fan's reaction, if Lord Lu passes this test, the emperor can naturally use him further, but if Lord Lu fails this test, there is still time to make remedies."

    "How to test?" Xiao Mazi said calmly.

    "Let Mr. Lu be promoted to a higher level and transferred out of Yungui." Xiong Cilu saw that the time had come, and he said firmly: "After the emperor promulgates this imperial decree, it is a great grace to let him be promoted and transferred. If Mr. Lu is really  He has nothing to do with the Wufan Firearms Camp, so he will definitely obey the order and lead the order to take up the post. It will not be too late to transfer Master Lu back to Qujing to serve as the prefect until the second half of next year when Zhang Gaomo, the prefect of Qujing, will serve as the prefect.  If you entrust him with further important tasks, you can rest assured."

    "But what if Master Lu refuses to accept the order." Xiong Cilu's voice suddenly turned cold, "For example, Wu Fan intervenes and forces Master Lu to stay in Yunnan and Qujing, or Master Lu resigns from his official position and insists on staying in Yunnan.  ¡ª¡ªThen it should be clear whether Wu Fan's firearms battalion has any connection with Mr. Lu?"

    Xiao Mazi was even more silent. After a long time, Xiao Mazi suddenly said: "In your opinion, where should Lu Aiqing be transferred?"

    "Okay, the emperor is finally tempted." Xiong Cilu was overjoyed, and quickly said: "As far as I know, the magistrate of Daxing County, Gyeonggi Province has reported to Ding You as usual because of his father's death.  My lord fills in this gap? Maybe after Master Lu arrives in Daxing County, he will use his western learning ability to create a way of making money for the people of Daxing, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

    "Well, let's do it this way." Xiao Mazi made up his mind and ordered: "You go to the Ministry of Officials to pass the decree, and the Ministry of Officials draws up a bill to let Lu Aiqing be promoted to two ranks to make up for the lack of magistrate in Daxing County. Also, I will replace you  I have prepared a secret decree for Gan Wenkun, asking him to keep an eye on Wu Fan and Lu Aiqing's reaction to this matter."

    "My minister obeys the decree." Xiong Cilu was overjoyed, kowtowed his head and agreed, and added viciously in his heart: "My surname is Lu, you still haven't shown your fox tail this time?! Even if you see through my intentions,  Deliberately taking office in Daxing County, waiting for the opportunity to return to Yunnan¡ª¡ªunder our noses, without the protection of old Wu Sangui, isn't it something we can do if we want to round you up?!"

 Chapter 125 The King Adds Bai

    ?

    (ps: Mid-Autumn Festival, the number of words is less, please understand my friends, and I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. By the way, please ask for a monthly pass and subscription. The monthly pass results and subscription are really bleak.)

    On the first day of February in the tenth year of Kangmazi in the Qing Dynasty, this is another notorious day¡ª¡ªof course it is for the mites. On this sunny day with clear blue sky, Bajia Village in the southwest of Xinxing Prefecture, Yunnan Province  In the area, just after dawn, thousands of Wu Sangui's elite troops suddenly surrounded this small village that had long been abandoned during the war.  A tense posture of wanting to do some evil deeds in this area.

    Just after the hour, dozens of mysterious carriages pulled by two war horses arrived at Bajia Village under the close guard of a team of heavily armed Wu Sangui soldiers, stopped at the flat and open place on the west side of Bajia Village, and quickly got out of the carriage.  He moved down a large pile of black silk cloth, a large pile of ropes, a huge boat-shaped rattan basket, hundreds of glass jars, and some strange things. A big fat man directed them to carefully install and tie them up.

    After more than four hours, the assembly was basically completed, and what appeared in front of everyone was a huge black fish sleeping on the ground. The fish's body was densely covered with ropes¡ªsuper strong ship cables carefully coated with tung oil, and under the ropes,  It is a rattan boat with a strange wind wheel, and the rattan has been repeatedly soaked in tung oil, so it is very light but extremely strong.  There are countless strange things on board, and I don't know what they are used for¡ªthe only thing that is certain is that they are definitely not used for good things.

    At this time, from the south of Bajia Village, another cavalry cavalry of the Wu Sangui Army, who was also heavily armed, came. The leader was none other than the notorious super big traitor Wu Sangui and the old traitor Wu, and the ones following him were Pingxi  The top few wolves, tigers and leopards in the palace, what Hu Guozhu, Xia Guoxiang, Wu Yingqi, Wu Guogui, Wu Yingjing, Zu Shushun, Ma Bao, Liu Xuanchu, Fang Guangchen, Wang Shirong, Gao Dejie, Wu Sanmei, Liu Yi, Qiu Kesun and Yang Shanzi  Wait, wait, etc., all of them have extremely excited expressions, as if they are going to come here to do something immoral and evil.

    After the team stopped outside Bajia Village, Wu Sangui swung his saddle off his horse and ran without dignity until he got to the side of the huge black fish. He couldn't wait to ask the big fat man who hurried up to salute: "Successful? This is you!"  Said airship? Can it fly?"

    "Back to the lord, thanks to the great blessing of the lord, the humble job is finally complete." Fatty Lu pressed his forehead to the ground, and said excitedly: "It was completely completed half a month ago, but Nule Peak was too closely watched by the court.  Afraid of revealing the secrets, I changed the first flight test to here, and by the way, I invite the prince to witness the first flight of the Pingxi Palace Air Force!"

    "Okay, okay, okay!" Wu Sangui trembled all over, and he could stand still by supporting the soldiers, and repeatedly ordered: "Quick, get up, tell me, how does it fly?"

    "I will obey you." Fatty Lu agreed, got up and led Wu Sangui to the rattan boat, pointed to the four round pipes with iron plates at the tail and said: "My lord, please see, the reason why this airship can fly into the sky is because  Dilute sulfuric acid reacts with iron slag to produce hydrogen, and then the collected hydrogen is poured into the balloon, and the airship can fly into the sky. These tubes are used to collect and remove hydrogen, which is the core of the airship  .¡±

    "This disc with small holes is made of wrought iron, coated with gutta-percha to prevent air leakage, and can be fixed with Western screws. The sealing cover is also coated with gutta-percha. After being fixed up and down, hydrogen leakage can be minimized  .¡±

    "Please look, my lord, these four things similar to bellows are hand-operated air extractors. There are bolts on the air outlet, and they can also be fixed with Western screws. If necessary, the sealing cover on the air pipe can be removed and connected to the air extractor  On board, quickly exhaust the hydrogen and allow the airship to land quickly."

    "These pipes cost the most effort. Its characteristics are softness, toughness and airtightness. In order to make it, it can be said that I racked my brains. Finally, I finally came up with a way to use thin copper wire  Weave a fine mesh with thin wire, sew silk on both sides of the fine mesh, and finally apply gutta-percha to seal it. It took countless hours and money to finally create these damn hoses  You can put it this way, half of the reason why it took more than a month for the humble job to build the airship is because of these damn pipes."

    "And this damn airbag. To make it, I selected more than a hundred kinds of silk fabrics before I found the most suitable silk fabric. Its top is double-layered, because this position bears the most force, and there are silk threads.  It was also after repeated selection of hundreds of silk threads that the most suitable thread was found to sew this balloon."

    "After sealing the rear airbag with gutta-percha, Beizhi deliberately painted it black.The word 'Wu' is not only conspicuous, but also sets off the identity of the prince and is easy to recognize. It will save the effort of changing the word in the future, isn't it better?  "

    "Save the effort of changing the characters in the future?" Hu Guozhu was a little confused at first, but when he came back to his senses, Hu Guozhu immediately nodded and said, "Yes, it's better to print the word 'Wu', which is conspicuous and easy to identify, and there is no need to change it in the future."  .¡±

    "General Jinwu, what color do you think is better for the character Wu for Wang Ye?" Fatty Lu asked again: "How about white?"

    "White? Your lord?" Hu Guozhu was not stupid at all, he immediately came to his senses, turned to Wu Sangui and said, "Old Taishan, my son-in-law also thinks white is better - adding a white on your head is very suitable, I don't know what Laotaishan thinks  ?¡±

    "What do you mean? What is the different color? As long as it is conspicuous?" Wu Sangui didn't wake up for a while, but instead asked in confusion.

    "It's very appropriate to add white to the head of the prince." Wang Shirong also stood up, cupped his hands to Wu Sangui and said: "My lord, the students are also bold, and I beg the lord to add a white."

    "Your servants are bold, please forgive me." Wu Sangui's confidantes who were present knelt down together and begged Wu Sangui with one voice.

    "What do you mean?" Wu Sangui was still a little confused, but seeing the serious expressions of many confidant lackeys, Wu Sangui also began to ponder, "White on my head? White on the king"

    After thinking up to this point, Wu Sangui finally realized something, and said lightly: "Very well, then print a white word 'Wu'. It would be quite appropriate to add a white character on my king's head."

    "I will obey the order." Hu Guozhu, Fang Guangchen, Xia Guoping, and a large group of Wu Sangui's best friends agreed in unison, and then kowtowed together and said: "Your Majesty is very handsome, and the destiny comes. Adding white characters is indeed very suitable. Long live, long live, long live  Long live."

    Wu Sangui smiled and waved his hands to tell the lackeys to excuse him¡ªbut although the old traitor seemed to be taking it lightly, his body was already trembling slightly.

    At this time, the airship finally descended to a height of 70 to 80 meters, and the cable was thrown from the boat. General Wu Jun hurriedly stepped forward to catch the cable, pulled the airship down and fixed it, and Wu Yingqi was the first to jump off the airship.  Just rushed in front of Fatty Lu, grabbed Fatty Lu's neck, sneezed and roared, "You bastard, why didn't you tell me earlier that the sky would be so cold? I almost froze to death! You wouldn't  Will you ask me to wear a cotton coat? Did you do it on purpose?"

    "I forgot about my humble job" Fatty Lu smiled wryly and wanted to say that he forgot that the sky was colder, but only halfway through his words, Fatty Lu changed his words and said, "Don't blame the second prince, I have never flown to the sky in my humble job, I don't know where the sky is."  It's definitely not intentional to be this cold."

    "Forget it, even if you did it on purpose, I'll forgive you." Wu Yingqi was just joking with Fatty Lu, and after letting go quickly, he hugged Fatty Lu in his arms again, and laughed loudly: "Yifeng, you  Didn't embarrass me, didn't disappoint me, the people from our Pingxi Palace really flew to the sky, really able to fly to the sky! From now on, whoever dares to fight against our Pingxi Palace, we will fly to the sky immediately  Go, throw dynamite on his head and see how he dies!"

    "Second prince, it will take some time to perfect the airship before it will be put into the battlefield." Fatty Lu said with a wry smile: "The most important thing right now is to solve the problem of airship manipulation in the sky, so that we can fly where we want to fly on the battlefield."  Fly there."

    "Then do it quickly?!" Wu Yingqi grabbed Fatty Lu's neck again, and shouted: "Get it done, I will personally command our air force in the future, and blow up those bastards who dare to fight against us!"  It¡¯s clean! If it¡¯s done, I¡¯ll ask my father to marry Xiaotu to you right away, if it doesn¡¯t work out, you¡¯ll just wait to be a bachelor for the rest of your life!¡±

    Wu Yingqi's words reminded Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui smiled, turned to Wu Guogui who was already full of embarrassment, and said, "Guogui, my father once promised that once Yifeng helped my father make an airship that could take our Pingxi palace officers and soldiers to the sky, then I would be happy."  The master promised Xiaotu to him, and now he has completed the task I assigned, look, Xiaotu"

    "My lord! My lord!" At this moment, an anxious shout suddenly came from a distance, interrupting the discussion between Wu Sangui and Wu Guogui.  Immediately afterwards, a fast horse from Pingxi Palace rushed over and stopped thirty steps away from Wu Sangui and the others. The knight immediately swung his whip and dismounted, rushed to kneel down in front of Wu Sangui sweating, presented a letter to Wu Sangui, and shouted loudly.  Said: "Report to the lord, the later general Guo Zhuangtu received an urgent report from the capital, and there is a major event in the capital."

    "What's the big deal?" Everyone was curious, but Wu Sangui couldn't wait to snatch the letter, but he opened it and only glanced at it, and the traitor Wu just stayed on the spot.

    "Father-in-law, what's the matter?" Hu Guozhu suddenly had a bad premonition¡ªhis father-in-law is not so easily intimidated.

    Sure enough, Wu Sangui's distraught words made everyone froze on the spot, "On the second day of the first lunar month, the emperor issued an edict to promote Wang Fuchen to be the governor of Shaanxi, and Shi Yugui to be the commander of Haining, and they were transferred from Yunnan together. The promotion of Yifeng to Daxing county magistrate was also transferred away.  Yunnan."

    "Me? Called out of Yunnan?" Fatty Lu spun around for a while, and sat down on the ground, knowing that the worst situation finally happened.

 Chapter 126 A Blessing in Misfortune

    ?

    In the days when the first airship of the Pingxi Palace was successfully tested, and at the same time, the first airship of this era was successfully tested, news was suddenly received that Xiao Mazi had used the poisonous scheme to dispel the party. The first airship of the Pingxi Palace was successfully launched.  It is inevitable that it will be diluted a lot at once.

    There is no way, Xiao Mazi's move is too vicious. Among the three Wu Sangui running dogs in Yungui, Wang Fuchen and Shi Yugui are old people who have followed Wu Sangui for many years.  Needless to say, the commander-in-chief of Youzhen, one of the four major military regions of the Pingxi Palace, transferring him is equivalent to cutting off one of Wu Sangui's limbs; although Shi Yugui's official position is slightly lower than that of Wang Fuchen, the Guizhou Zhenyuan garrison he controls is strangling to death.  It is irreplaceable to live in the throat of communication between Guizhou and Hunan, and the Central Plains. If he is transferred this time, Wu Sangui's military and political control over Guizhou will undoubtedly be lost and weakened.

    If the transfer of Wang Fuchen cut off one of Wu Sangui's four military arms, then the transfer of Fatty Lu cut off Wu Sangui's only arm in military technology and new technology.  No one is more aware of the importance of Fatty Lu to Pingxi Palace than Wu Sangui - without Fatty Lu, how could Pingxi Palace completely reverse its weapon disadvantage against the Qing court in just three years?  Without Fatty Lu, how could Yunnan and Guizhou, which is notoriously poor, have completely reversed its financial decline in just three years, and no longer need to look at Xiao Mazi's face in terms of finances?

    Because of this, after the airship was secretly transferred to the valley of the Firearms Camp in Sinuiju, and when he was about to return to Mount Wuhua, Wu Sangui met Fatty Lu alone once, and said to Fatty Lu straight to the point: "Yifeng, transfer you to Daxing  You should think carefully about being the county magistrate. This king really hopes that you can stay. If you are willing to resign from the imperial court and stay in Yunnan, you can choose any official position in Wuhua Mountain by yourself, and I will marry Xiaotu to you  You, let you be the lonely grandson-in-law."

    Fatty Lu had a frowning face, and after a long time he reluctantly replied: "Going back to the lord, of course I dream of staying in Yunnan and staying under the lord's command forever, but once I do this, the court will immediately understand our Pingxi Palace.  All kinds of progress are due to the ghosts of the humble job, and a lot of hard work of the humble job will be wasted. This fact is too big and involves too much. A little careless handling will also have a great impact on the prince. Please allow the humble job to think about it for a while.  Discuss with the teacher and the others, and give the prince an answer after weighing the pros and cons."

    "Success, when you get back to Mount Wuhua, you will give me an answer." Wu Sangui was quite straightforward, and agreed to Fatty Lu's request immediately.  At the end, Wu Sangui said meaningfully: "Yifeng, what you have done in the past few years has already proved to Gu that you and your teacher Liu Xuanchu are on the same side. Although Gu did not intend to force you to stay, Gu is still  I want to remind you that a person like you is not only doomed not to be reused by the imperial court, but may also be in danger of his life at any time, I hope you can think about it clearly."

    "Since the prince already understands the ambition of the humble official, then the humble official will speak the truth." Fatty Lu knelt down on both knees and said solemnly: "The humble official swears to be loyal to the prince to assist the prince to drive out the Tartars and restore our Han family.  Unswerving. Even if the humble official is forced to leave temporarily or permanently in order to avoid causing trouble to the prince, the humble official will never offer a skill or plan to the Tartars for the rest of his life!"

    "My king believes in you." Wu Sangui nodded, and then said: "But don't think too much, even if you insist on staying, it will bring a little trouble to Gu, Gu will not care, the pressure from the court, Gu  I will carry it for you." Fatty Lu burst into tears, choked up with tears, and knelt in front of Old Traitor Wu for a long time without saying a word.

    Fatty Lu¡¯s tears have always been cheap. Basically, as long as he needs it, he can cry like ghosts and wolves at any time, but this time, Fatty Lu really has some helpless pain in it. According to historical development, Wu Sangui will have at most another two years.  He was about to rebel, and now, through the painstaking management of Fatty Lu, Wu Sangui has carefully crafted countless advanced weapons that surpassed the times, which greatly inflated Wu Sangui's ambitions, and it is not impossible to advance the rebellion time.  At the same time, Fatty Lu has also mastered a small but extremely elite direct army. He only waited until the anti-Qing battlefield to make a big splash, fish in troubled waters and wait for an opportunity to stand on his own. But Xiao Mazi gave Fatty Lu such a big deal at this time.  The problem, Fatty Lu really doesn't know how to choose.

    At the same time, Hu Liufangwang, the four great think tanks of Pingxi Palace, who didn't know how to choose, originally they all hoped that Fatty Lu would resign from his official position and stay in Yunnan to develop new weapons and advise Wu Sangui, but they all understood that once Fatty Lu did this  Yes, it is equivalent to telling Xiao Mazi that Eight Banners Fushou Cream is a financial weapon that Fatty Lu deliberately created for Wu Sangui, in order to help Wu Sangui get rid of the financial shackles of the Qing court;p; "So Yifeng, you don't have a particular hobby, do you?" Fang Guangchen suddenly asked with a smile.

    "What's your favorite?" Fatty Lu was confused.

    "Then you will have to work hard." Fang Guangchen laughed loudly and said, "I won't tell you the specific reason here. When you see him in Nanning, you will understand everything."

    Wang Shirong and Hu Guozhu also laughed, and Liu Xuanchu smiled wryly, laughing until Fatty Lu couldn't figure it out, and was even more puzzled, "What's so weird about Line Yuxuan?"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Although he intends to go to Guangxi to temporarily avoid the limelight, disrupt Xiao Mazi and Kong Sizhen's vicious plans, and strive for the last chance to make a comeback, but the key to whether he can make the trip depends on whether Wu Sangui agrees to this crazy plan.  After returning to Wuhua Mountain, Fatty Lu still had no way to go to Wu Sangui to beg him to agree to this plan. Wu Sangui's four lackeys had to come forward to discuss the feasibility of this plan with Wu Sangui alone¡ªno way, Fatty Lu's move was practical.  The above is to temporarily escape from Wu Sangui's control, and it is really inconvenient to come to Wu Sangui to make this request in person.

    After Hu Guozhu and others went to have a secret talk with Wu Sangui, they waited for a long time in the room where they lived alone in anxiety. After waiting for more than two hours, the door of Fatty Lu's room was finally pushed open. Unexpectedly, Fatty Lu  , the person who came in was not any of Wu Sangui's four think tanks, but Wu Sangui's adopted son and powerful general - Wu Guogui.

    Wu Guogui had an ugly look on his face that Fatty Lu owed him eight million taels of silver, and instead of sitting down, he stood in front of Fatty Lu and said coldly: "Father Wang just came to me and talked about you and Xiaotu.  Although I am very opposed to it, I can't go against my father's decision¡ªso in the future, you have to treat Xiaotu better."

    "You want me to treat Xiaotu better?" Fatty Lu was startled for a while, then suddenly came to his senses, and quickly kowtowed to salute, "My son-in-law kowtows to his father-in-law"

    "Get up, don't kneel in a hurry!" Wu Guogui picked up Fatty Lu and said viciously: "It's still early to salute, and you and Xiaotu will be officially engaged when you come back from Guangxi! Also, you go to Guangxi  When the time comes, your family members can stay in Qujing City, and your uncle and I will take care of them, understand?"

    "Understood, understood." Fatty Lu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, secretly admiring Wu Sangui's manipulative means - not only promised himself a flowery granddaughter, but also detained his family in Yunnan, so naturally he didn't have to worry about what he would do.  Betrayed him.

    "Just understand. If you understand, follow me to see the prince." Wu Guogui dragged Fatty Lu away, and said fiercely while dragging: "Listen, after my little Tu passed through the door, I will be with your little boy from the Pingnan Palace."  Grid must be big or small! Do you understand?"

    "understand."

    "Also, if you dare to be sorry for her and make her feel wronged, even if I try my best to be scolded by my father, I will chop you up! Do you understand?"

    "understand."

 Chapter 127 Resigning Angrily

    ?

    After receiving the news that Fatty Lu was transferred to Daxing County, Shuntian Prefecture, Gyeonggi Province to serve as Liupin County Magistrate, Gan Wenkun, Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou in the Qing Dynasty, was shocked at first, and almost doubted whether his master, Emperor Mazi, was crazy and would make such an intimate act.  The act of self-destruction of the Great Wall that hurts the enemy and quickens the enemy?  But after opening Xiao Mazi's second secret decree, and seeing Xiao Mazi secretly ordering him to keep an eye on Fatty Lu and the reaction of the Pingxi Palace on Fatty Lu's transfer, Gan Wenkun soon realized that he had been doing it for a long time to further test Lu  Fatty.

    To be honest, Gan Wenkun fully approves of Xiao Mazi¡¯s probing move¡ªsince ancient times, double-faced agents like Fatty Lu have always been the most effective and dangerous. If used well, they can gain countless  The enemy's core secrets, which cannot be touched by ordinary secret agents, can also accomplish countless tasks that ordinary secret agents can basically complete;  I have to leave it in Yungui!  Especially when Fatty Lu controls the local government and the local army in Qujing at the same time, the issue of Fatty Lu's loyalty is even more crucial.

    However, although the method and purpose are very reasonable, Gan Wenkun is a bit reluctant to agree with Xiao Mazi's probing methods. Now that Xiao Mazi and Aobai are restraining each other and dare not offend Wu Sangui to death, Gan Wenkun is  Absolutely no guts to immediately relocate the Yunnan-Guizhou Governor's Yamen back to Qujing.  At the same time, the current Kangdong Tibetan bandits, Kaili chieftain A Rong, and Zhencai chieftain Afu are all very violent, often making troubles and harassing the Qing army (it is explained in the book that in fact, these few bad guys are actually Wu Sangui, the old bad guy who made troubles.  Instigated), Gan Wenkun, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, dared not leave Guiyang City, the capital of Guizhou Province, which was surrounded by enemies at will.

    Faced with such a bad situation, Gan Wenkun, who was almost unaccompanied in Yunnan and Guizhou, was unavoidably worried. If in the process of testing Fatty Lu, it proved that Fatty Lu was indeed completely loyal to the Qing Dynasty and the imperial court, then it would inevitably take a lot of effort.  It hurt the hearts of loyal ministers, and made those neutral officials in Yunnan and Guizhou more afraid to be loyal to the imperial court; at the same time, in the process of testing, it was equivalent to giving Wu Sangui a good opportunity to intervene in Qujing's military and civil affairs again.  The gain outweighs the loss.

    Worried and worried, Gan Wenkun dared not listen to Xiao Mazi's imperial decree. In desperation, Gan Wenkun had no choice but to send his confidant brother Gan Wenjiong to go to Qujing to deliver the transfer order to Fatty Lu in person¡ªand monitor Fatty Lu's response to this matter by the way.  reaction, and spying on Pingxi Palace's reaction to this matter.

    When Gan Wenjiong came to Qujing City with the transfer order, it was already February 15th, the tenth year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, but when he successfully saw Fatty Lu in the backyard of the Qujing County Government, Gan Wenjiong was shocked.  I haven't seen him for a month. Fatty Lu has lost a lot of weight compared to the last time. His face is unshaven as if he hasn't washed and shaved for a few days, and the rat's braids are also a little messy. After entering the study, he sat opposite Gan Wenjiong without saying a word.  The decadence and ashes on his face formed an extremely sharp contrast with the high-spiritedness of the previous few meetings.

    Seeing Gan Wenjiong's surprise, Fatty Lu's confidant Xiao Erlang hurried forward to explain, and whispered in Gan Wenjiong's ear: "Don't blame Mr. Gan, my young master has been like this for several days and nights since he learned that he was about to be transferred.  Don't eat or drink, don't talk, and don't even care about business affairs."

    "Lord Lu already knows that he is going to be transferred?" Gan Wenjiong was taken aback, and then immediately realized that it must have been the news from Wu Sangui.

    "Understood." Before Xiao Erlang could reply, Fatty Lu spoke first, and said weakly: "I already knew about it four or five days ago. Prince Pingxi sent someone to inform me."

    "Then what else did they say?" Gan Wenjiong asked quickly.

    "What else can I say?" Fatty Lu smiled bitterly, and said, "Ask me to resign from the official position and stay in Yunnan. If I just resign from the official position and stay in Yunnan, I will be guaranteed to be safe and sound.  Long, if you make something similar to the Eight Banners drug ointment and glass mirror for Prince Pingxi, it will definitely guarantee a bigger future for me in the future."

    "Then what is Lord Lu's plan? How about Prince Pingxi?" Gan Wenjiong asked nervously.

    Fatty Lu's eyes were empty, he looked up at the beam without saying a word, but Zhu Fangdan, the last person in the study and another confidant of Fatty Lu, spoke angrily, "Master Gan, how can our lords answer? Our lords  If it was really just for the sake of being wise and safe, it was really just for the sake of glory and wealth. When Prime Minister Ao allowed him to patrol the salt road in the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River, which was the most fat in the world, he had already betrayed the court and failed the holy grace, and now he is still greedy for Yunnan and peace.  Broken officials in a poor place like Guizhou?!"

    "Lord Lu, Master Zhu, don't worry, just speak slowly." Gan Wenjiong knew that Fatty Lu was in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything serious, justbsp; The result is very natural, when the people in Qujing are already full of resentment, such rumors will naturally completely stab the hornet's nest in Qujing.  Crying for Fatty Lu's grievances, climbing to the city and striking the market intensified, causing the whole Qujing city to be in chaos, and the curse and resentment against Xiaomazi and Miqing became even more overwhelming, and some people even shouted to  All non-Western election officials played the slogan of Yunnan!

    After Gan Wenjiong passed the news back to Guiyang, Gan Wenkun was so angry that he even ordered his master to write a memorial on the spot to scold Kong Sizhen.  Civil and military, once corrupted!

    But halfway through writing the memorial, Gan Wenkun suddenly ordered his master to stop writing, and personally tore up the memorial to pieces, Gan Wenkun's son Gan Guocheng who was next to him was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "Father, why did you tear up this memorial again?  "

    "I was confused just now." Gan Wenkun said helplessly: "Kong Sizhen and his gang dared to do this, they must have been ordered by the emperor. I impeach Kong Sizhen like this, which is tantamount to slapping the emperor in the face and accusing the emperor of ineffective governance.  Stir up a civil uprising. Not only will such a memorial be useless, but on the contrary, for the sake of saving face, the emperor might really decree that Lu Yifeng should never be used."

    "It makes sense, so what should we do?" Gan Guocheng asked.

    "There are two memorials, light and dark." Gan Wenkun said in a deep voice: "The first memorial is published, the content is to plead for the people of Qujing, and ask the court to recall Lu Yifeng to be the magistrate of Qujing again, or take over as the magistrate of Qujing on the spot. The second memorial is  Confidentially, report Qujing's current situation, Lu Yifeng's decision, and Wu Sangui's reaction to the emperor truthfully, the more detailed the better, but there must be no one word to blame Kong Sizhen and his gang."

    "There must be no one word to blame Kong Sizhen and his gang?" Gan Guocheng was a little confused.

    "Stupid!" Gan Wenkun cursed, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't have a word to condemn that bitch, but to her is the greatest condemnation. The emperor will know better than anyone else, who is deliberately destroying the situation in Yunnan and Guizhou!"

    Speaking of this, Gan Wenkun slapped the table again, and roared: "Kong Si bitch, Lao Tzu and Lu Yifeng tied their heads to their belts in Yungui, fighting to the death with old Wu Sangui, and you are still stabbing the knife in the back! Now you stab  Well, I want to see, how are you going to explain to the emperor this time? How to explain to the court?!"  , support the author, and support genuine reading!)

 Chapter 128 Line Mansion as Teacher

    ?

    When Qujingcheng was still arguing about Fatty Lu's resignation angrily, Fatty Lu had quietly returned to Badahe Wharf at the junction of Luoping and Sicheng Mansion.

    Why go back to this remote Badahe wharf?  Maybe many of my friends don¡¯t remember it. It was on this pier that our Fatty Lu was targeted by Kong Sizhen¡¯s lackeys for the first time.  size events.

    But now, when revisiting the old place this time, the situation is completely different from the previous situation, although the entourage around Fatty Lu has changed from the dozens of people last time to the current Zhu Fangdan, Xiao Erlang, Fang Shiyu and Hong Xiguan.  , but behind Fatty Lu, there were thousands more soldiers and civilians of Qujing Mansion who spontaneously came to see him off¡ªalthough Fatty Lu really didn't request or secretly encouraged the people to come to see him off, but among these people, there was one  Most of the people came from Qujing City hundreds of miles away to bid farewell to Fatty Lu, such a rare good dog official.

    ¡ª¡ªIn all honesty, Fatty Lu is indeed worthy of the love and respect of the common people, not to mention honesty and justice.  Fatty Lu has been the only local official who has lifted the people of Qujing out of poverty and become rich throughout the ages.

    The biggest change is the reaction of the Guangxi military and civilians on Sicheng Mansion, which borders Qujing. Last time Fatty Lu came here, he was greeted by Kong Sizhen's ubiquitous eyeliner and the search and exploitation of Guangxi soldiers.  At dawn, countless soldiers and civilians of Sicheng Prefecture, under the personal leadership of Cen Jilu, Cen Qidai and his son, the local prefect of Sicheng, came to this pier to welcome Fatty Lu and welcome Fatty Lu back to Guangxi.  ¡ª¡ªBy the way, the reason why the Cen family and his son were able to know this news was that Fatty Lu's brother Wang Jing sent a fast horse to sue him and asked them to protect Fatty Lu's safety.

    Cen Jilu and Cen Qidai's father and son are so affectionate to Fatty Lu, of course it is aimless. As the only chieftain in Guangxi who secretly grows the Eight Banners Fushou Gao, the chieftain of Cen's family has many shortcomings in growing and boiling medicine, and the output and quality have not been improved. Of course, I hope Fatty Lu  This drug expert can come and give us some pointers.  At the same time, the Cen family father and son had a very close relationship with Wang Jing, Fatty Lu's sworn brother. As Wang Fuchen was about to be transferred to Wang Jing's position, it was even more impossible for the Cen family father and son to neglect Fatty Lu.

    He was respectfully invited by the Cen family father and son to live in Lingyun City, Sicheng Prefecture for two days. Fatty Lu repeatedly rejected the kindness of the Cen family father and son to keep him, and decided to continue down the Youjiang River and go to Nanning Mansion to join the line Guoan stationed there.  His son lined Yu Xuan to seek his protection, and waited for Kong Sizhen's lackeys to kill him by the way.  It was useless for the father and son of the Cen family to persuade them, and Fatty Lu explained that Sicheng was too close to Qujing, and staying in Sicheng by himself might cause trouble for the father and son of the Cen family.  Go south, and donate a lot of money to subsidize the travel.

    When parting, Fatty Lu not only taught the Cen family and his son some techniques of brewing medicine, but also specially told the Cen family to keep secret and prevent the seeds from leaking out.  It's not stupid, if the seeds of the Eight Banners drug are allowed to flow, then within a few years, their father and son will have to hold the Eight Banners drug that cannot be eaten, cannot be worn, and is worth less than dung.  As for the secret planting, the Cen family and his son just wanted to make a fortune in silence, and didn't want to attract a group of white-eyed wolves like Ma Xiong, Line Yuxuan, Dai Liangchen and Sun Yanling.

    Originally, the father and son of the Cen family ordered the campfire to protect Fatty Lu and his party to arrive at Nanning City directly, but as soon as the campfire of the father and son of the Cen family arrived at Baise at the junction of Sicheng Mansion and Sien Mansion, Fatty Lu asked them to return to Sicheng.  He still wanted to insist, but Fatty Lu said to him: "General, if you don't want to harm me, please go back. Your army has no court establishment, and you can't cross the border at will. If you really protect me to Nanning, someone will kill me."  There's more to say."

    When Fatty Lu got to this point, the minority native soldiers of the Cen family did not dare to persist, so they had to let Fatty Lu go, and Fatty Lu paid a lot of money to thank these native soldiers, and hired Zhu Fangdan, Xiao Erlang and others in Baise.  I took a civilian boat and took the Youjiang waterway straight down to Nanning.  On the journey, Fatty Lu and others tried their best to keep a low profile, try not to contact outsiders, and the boats did not stop, and they just traveled southward at full speed day and night.

    Fatty Lu has no choice. Guangxi is Kong Sizhen's hometown after all. Although Kong Sizhen must have had no time to receive the news and react, it does not rule out Kong Sizhen's death.  So for Fatty Lu, the most important thing for this meeting is to rush to Nanning City, at least to the territory of Nanning Prefecture, so as to avoid unknown dangers to the greatest extent.

    Fortunately, Fatty Lu had good luck in coming to Guangxi this time.I know.

    "First, I have to bring two helpers to help me educate the young master." Fatty Lu said in his heart that I brought Fang Shiyu and Hong Xiguan, two thugs, to see if you can beat you, the little devil in the world, into a kitten in the world.  "Secondly, what method will I use to educate Young Master Line, neither the Third General Line nor the old General Line can intervene, let alone interfere."

    "Bring a helper?" Line Yuxuan's beautiful eyes showed a puzzled look - this is the first time that the private school teacher needs to bring a helper to teach students.

    "Major General, is there any private school teacher in this world who teaches students and still needs to bring helpers?" A general wearing a lieutenant general's uniform stood up, looked suspiciously at Fatty Lu, and called Yu Xuan, "Major General, what do you think this is?"  He is very suspicious, he doesn't look like a gentleman at all, it's better not to use him."

    Lan Yuxuan looked forward with beautiful eyes, and looked at Fatty Lu suspiciously, but Fatty Lu came here just for fun and to take the opportunity to understand Lan Yuxuan's mind. He didn't care if he could be the teacher of Lan Yuxuan's younger brother, and he really didn't want to go  Seeing the two ecstasy mustaches on Line Yu Xuan's pretty face, he simply turned his face away and continued to put on an arrogant and conceited look.

    "Forget it, this fat guy looks unreliable." Line Yuxuan thought about it, and wanted to refuse, but at this moment, Line Fu, the general of Line Yuxuan's mansion, suddenly ran in and yelled as soon as he entered the door.  Said: "Third son, it's terrible, it's terrible, the young master smashed open the firearms warehouse, and he wants to take gunpowder and muskets out of the city to hunt, and he won't listen to anyone's advice."

    "Here it goes again! When will this kid let me stop worrying?" Line Yu Xuan pressed his forehead with his tender little hand, revealing a charming look of worrying and worrying.  But what surprised everyone present was that Lin Fu suddenly pointed at Fatty Lu and exclaimed, "LuMaster Lu, why are you here?"

    "General Line, long time no see, are you okay?" Seeing that he couldn't hide anything, Fatty Lu had no choice but to smile and greet Line Fu. Two years ago, Line Yuxuan sent this Line Fu to Qujing to contact Fatty Lu.  , asked about the Eight Banners drug, so of course Line Fu knew Fatty Lu.

    "Master Lu? Line Fu, do you know him?" Line Yu Xuan put down his small hand and asked in surprise.

    "Third son, he is the famous Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Qujing County, Mr. Lu!" Line Fu shouted: "More than two years ago, you sent me to Qujing, Yunnan to contact this Mr. Lu, asking him to help us solve the shortage of food and wages.  problem."

    Before the words finished, all the Guangxi generals present screamed out in alarm, and Yu Xuan even jumped up, his pretty face was full of unbelievable surprise¡ªit can¡¯t be helped, Fatty Lu¡¯s reputation is too great now  It is so big that no one in power dare not not salivate.

    Fatty Lu smiled politely and said, "General Line Fu, I am no longer the magistrate of Qujing County. More than half a month ago, I resigned from the post of Qujing County Magistrate and came to Nanning to seek refuge.  Have a bowl of rice." Speaking of this, Fatty Lu turned to Lan Yuxuan again, and said with a smile: "But it seems that General Lan is not satisfied."

    What surprised Fatty Lu was that Yu Xuan did not defend or complain, complaining that Fatty Lu deliberately entered the house under a pseudonym, but strode up to Fatty Lu, knelt down on one knee, and said softly, "Yu Xuan has you!"  I don¡¯t know Mount Tai with my eyes, and I don¡¯t know that the magistrate Lu of Qujing County is here, so I have neglected it, and I hope my lord will forgive me.¡±

    After finishing speaking, Yu Xuan turned to the generals present and shouted: "You guys also quickly salute Mr. Lu. It is our Nanning's blessing that Mr. Lu's visit to Nanning!"  For the sake of money, they quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted Fatty Lu.

    Lan Yuxuan admitted his mistake so readily, which made Fatty Lu feel a little embarrassed, and hurried to help Yu Xuan, and said: "Please hurry up, Third Young Master Lan, how can Lu Yifeng be so virtuous, how dare you treat him like this? Besides, Lu Yifeng  When he entered the mansion, he did not show his real name to others, it was Lu Yifeng who was rude first." After finishing speaking, Fatty Lu quickly turned to the Guangxi generals present and said: "Generals, please hurry up, don't be so polite  .¡±

    While talking, Fatty Lu suddenly felt that his claws had touched some soft and slippery place. When he looked back, he found that when he went to help Yu Xuan, his hands had unconsciously touched Yu Xuan's pair of pistols.  The girl with yellow flowers still has white and tender little hands, so scared that Fatty Lu quickly let go.  Line Yu Xuan smiled affectionately at Fatty Lu, and there was even a bit of shyness on his handsome face.

    "Damn it! Hu Guozhu, you're screwing me to death!" Fatty Lu, whose goose bumps fell all over the ground again, growled in his heart, "I knew that Lan Yuxuan was such a person who was neither male nor female and had a tendency towards Longyang!"  Shemale, even if I lose my life, I won¡¯t come to Nanning again!¡±

 Chapter 129 Hiding the Dragon in the Abyss

    ?

    Fatty Lu, a living cash cow, suddenly came to Nanning, and even went to the Line Mansion to recommend himself, and offered to be the private school teacher of Line Guoan Children Line Qiyu, which naturally caused a sensation in half of Nanning City.  Needless to say, Hezhi County Pidianpidian came from running away, even Rong Guoan, who had been ill for many years, struggled to get up from the hospital bed, and personally led the Guangxi generals to clean up Fatty Lu.

    In view of Fatty Lu's great reputation, the banquet was of course carried out in an intimate and friendly atmosphere. After drinking for three rounds, the father and son of the Line family and the prefect Han Zhang and others had to inquire in detail about the real reason why Fatty Lu came to Nanning.  When Fatty Lu said truthfully that he had resigned from office and was going to join the line's father and son to beg for food, the first reaction of the line's father and son, Han Zhang and others was disbelief, the second was absolute disbelief, and the third was Fatty Lu's  It must be a joke!

    After laughing and shaking their heads together, Rong Guoan, who was over sixty years old and already skinny, smiled and said, "Lord Lu, don't be joking. Who are you? A famous and upright official in China, the famous most powerful official in the Qing Dynasty  Even if you really have resigned from the official position, there is no need to go to the poor Nanning to beg for food, right? The old man believes that as long as Mr. Lu says you want to be an official, the governors all over the world will scramble for three visits to the thatched hut.  Master Lu, please come out of the mountain, do you still need to come here?"

    "Old General Line, this junior is really not joking." Fatty Lu didn't smile at all, but said seriously: "This time this junior came to Nanning, I really came to beg Old General Line to take him in, so that this junior can have a roof over his head.  Therefore, there is a bowl of porridge every day to satisfy hunger and hunger."

    Seeing Fatty Lu's serious expression, Line Guoan and his son couldn't laugh anymore, and Han Zhang's eyes widened. At this time, Zhu Fangdan, the master brought by Fatty Lu, also interjected: "Old General Line, students can guarantee that students'  Your boss, Mr. Lu, really came to join you this time. The students also came here voluntarily, and begged you to give me a bite of food. Of course, we will definitely not eat you, old general, for nothing, student.  He has a little knowledge of medicine and is well-known, in the future, if the army that the old general belongs to has miasma, if the students can't get rid of the disease, please let the old general deal with it at will."

    "Old General Line, really, my young master really came to join you." Xiao Erlang also interjected, "To tell you the truth, old general Line, before my young master came to Nanning, he had already made arrangements for his funeral.  We are ready to throw our lives in Nanning at any time, and the rest of us are also like this, ready to accompany the young master to throw our lives in Nanning."

    When Fatty Lu and his group reached this point, the father and son of the Line family immediately widened their eyes, and they could hardly believe their ears. Han Zhang, the prefect of Nanning, even screamed, "Lord Lu, what happened?"  ? How could the servant say such unlucky words?"

    "My young master has offended someone, and someone wants to kill my young master by such shameless means as framing." Xiao Erlang said quickly.  Before Xiao Erlang could explain in detail, Fatty Lu waved his hand and said, "Erlang, don't interrupt, let me speak for myself."

    After drinking the dog legs, Fatty Lu turned to Lan Guoan and Lan Yuxuan and his son again, cupped his hands and said, "Old General Line, Third General Line, since Lu is here to join you, then Lu Yifeng dare not hide anything from you.  After Lu finished talking about the whole story, if the old general and the young general were willing to take Lu in, then Lu would be very grateful. If the old general was afraid of being implicated by Lu, then Lu would not force it, and immediately got up and left.  Find a place to live elsewhere."

    "Lord Lu, please speak, the old man is all ears." Lin Guoan put away his smile and said seriously: "Lord Lu, please rest assured, as long as you are not violating the laws of the court, but are forced by traitors, then as long as you are still in Nanning  One day, if the old family is alive, they will do their best to protect your safety."

    "Thank you, Old General Line. The younger generation will just tell you the truth." Fatty Lu cupped his hands to thank him, cleared his throat again, and explained how he was befriended and became enemies by Kong Sizhen, and how he was framed by Kong Sizhen, which led Gan Wenkun to recommend him  He explained in detail how he failed to take over as the magistrate of Qujing, tried to get himself to Daxing to facilitate harm, and how he was afraid of Kong Sizhen's revenge.

    At the end, Fatty Lu said with a gloomy face: "The younger generation is sure, if the younger generation obeys the arrangement of the officials to take up the post in Daxing, then there must be a dead end there. Resigning from office and returning to the hometown, it is confirmed that he refuses to serve the emperor and has evil intentions."  Capital crime, Si Gege has something to say in front of the emperor. So the younger generation simply decided to come to Guangxi and take the initiative to send Si Gege to kill him at will. At the same time, he also used this to tell the emperor that it was not that the younger generation refused to serve him, but that the younger generation was killed by others.  Forced to do so!"

    ? When Fatty Lu explained in detail why he came to Nanning to defect to Lin Guoan, all the people present held their breaths, and no one interrupted casually to say a word.The son stood up, stretched his waist and said: "If you are obedient, I can consider teaching you some knowledge, and I can also ask you Fang Sange and Hong Dage to teach you martial arts. If you are not obedient, then forget it  Well, anyway, there are plenty of people in the world begging me to teach them¡ªjust like your brother, begging me."

    "I'm obedient, I'll definitely be obedient." Line Qiyu was in a hurry, and quickly grabbed Fatty Lu's sleeve and begged, "Mr. Lu, I will definitely listen to you in the future, I promise to listen to you, please teach me."

    "Really obedient?" Fatty Lu's small eyes slanted, and when he saw Line Qiyu nodding innocently and reverently on his face, Fatty Lu shouted: "Be obedient, hurry back to the study for me, and recite the Three Character Classic once!  Learn to crawl first, and then learn to fly with me!"

    "Okay, I'll recite it." Line Qiyu agreed loudly, let go of Fatty Lu, and ran into the study in a hurry, and the sound of reading "In the beginning of human beings, nature is good" soon sounded in the study.

    "As expected of a child, it's really easy to deceive." Fatty Lu smiled, stretched again, and shook his head casually, but suddenly saw that Lan Yuxuan, who looked like a woman, was standing at the moon cave gate at some point  Under the peach blossom tree outside, the handsome face is not above the pretty face under the woman, but it is full of charming smiles.

    "Mother! This dead shemale smiles so ambiguously, he must have really taken a fancy to me, right?" Fatty Lu tightened his chrysanthemum, and his goosebumps fell all over the ground again.

 Chapter 130 Fatty Repays His Gratitude

    ?

    When Fatty Lu began to further poison the little demon king of the An family in the city of Nanning, the news that he resigned angrily and left Qujing had spread through various channels.  , Governor of Pianyuan (Governor of Hunan) Lu Zhen, Governor of Sichuan Huguang Cai Yurong and other local governors were the first to hear the news, and their first reaction was:

    "Quick! Send someone to find Lu Yifeng immediately, and we must bring him back! Tell him, as long as he comes to work with Ben Du (Ben Fu), he can agree to any conditions! Ben Du (Ben Fu) can also be in  Guarantee for him in front of the emperor, and guarantee that he will be safe and sound under the rule of this governor (Ben Fu)! If he wants to recover in the future, this governor (Ben Fu) will definitely protect him from the imperial court!"

    There is no way, Fatty Lu¡¯s reputation as a cash cow is too great. In less than three years, the whole of Qujing was reborn, and by the way, he also helped Wu Sangui completely solve the huge problem that Yungui couldn¡¯t support himself.  indivual?  Is there another place in the world where the governor can't be jealous?  Can you hope that there will be such a capable minister under your rule, who will not only gain benefits for yourself, but also gain a good reputation for yourself for the benefit of the people, and leave a strong mark in the history of thousands of years?  Now that there is such a glimmer of hope, how can the local governor not try his best to fight for it?

    The ones with the greatest hopes are of course the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Jin Guangzu, the governor of Guangxi, Ma Xiongzhen, and the admiral of Guangxi, the old general Ma Xiongma. After receiving news that Fatty Lu not only went to Guangxi, but also went to Nanning to join the father and son of Lin Guoan and Ma Xiong, who was stationed in Guilin.  Zhen and Ma Xiong, the admiral of Guangxi, didn't even bother to exchange a message with each other, and immediately led their entourage to Nanning to kill.  There is also Jin Guangzu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, who also set off from Guangzhou immediately, and came to Nanning in person to persuade Fatty Lu to leave the mountain and work for his shogunate.

    To Governor Jin's surprise and not at all, when his team arrived in Wuzhou, they ran into two teams sent by Pingnan Palace. The first team was sent by Pingnan Prince Shang Zhixin, and Shang Zhixin  His half-brother Shang Zhijie personally led him, and he was also planning to rush to Nanning to persuade his brother-in-law to settle down in Guangdong;  Shang Kexi¡¯s autographed letter, requesting his son-in-law and daughter to bring their grandson back to their parents¡¯ home in Guangzhou to settle down¡ªwhoever dares to go to Guangzhou to trouble their daughter and son-in-law, the old prince Shang personally chopped them off!

    Some people laugh while others cry. The princes and governors in Southwest China and South China have seen a glimmer of hope to win over Fatty Lu. The new governor of Yunnan, Zhu Guozhi and Zhu Zhongcheng, scolded his mother on the way to take office in Yunnan.  Zhu Guozhi, the number one corrupt official, and Zhu Zhongcheng went south to take office this time with the intention of earning a lot of money. As a result, before he officially took office, the number one money-making expert under his rule had already resigned and left the country. The disappointment and anger in Zhu Zhongcheng's chest were natural  One can imagine.

    At first, Zhu Zhongcheng thought it was because of his bad luck that he happened to catch up with Fatty Lu¡¯s resignation, but when he visited Gan Wenkun in Guiyang, he learned from Gan Wenkun that the reason for Fatty Lu¡¯s resignation was because Kong Sizhen and his gang forced him to do so.  Kong Sizhen was nominated by the party to be able to come back. He completely forgot about it. In front of Gan Wenkun, he scolded Kong Sizhen, Xiong Cilu and others bloody, and vowed to find out the truth after taking office in Yunnan.  Fatty cleared his grievances and tried to get Fatty Lu back to work in Yunnan.

    Facing Zhu Zhongcheng's oath, Governor Gan, who has been in a state of distress for the past few days, could only smile wryly, and said, "Zhu Zhongcheng, then I'm counting on you. This governor has worked with Lu Yifeng for two years, and I will help Lu Yifeng."  Excuse me, maybe the imperial court will think that the governor has received some benefits from Lu Yifeng. You have never met or had any contact with Lu Yifeng. The imperial court should pay more attention to your objective evaluation. By the way, Zhu Zhongcheng, you  How many followers did you bring?"

    "How many entourages did you bring?" Zhu Zhongcheng was stunned, and then said coyly after a long while: "Don't blame the governor, Yunnan and Guizhou are remote, thieves and Miao Yi are rampant, so I brought a little more entourage this time, maids and masters.  There are nearly 300 people in the book office and long-term guards."

    "Too few." Zhu Zhongcheng was taken aback by Gan Wenkun's answer, Gan Wenkun frowned and said, "How about this, the governor will lend you another five hundred green battalion soldiers to guard you full-time to take up your post in Kunming."

    "Bring another 500 green battalion soldiers from the humble rank to escort the humble rank to take up his post in Kunming full-time?" Zhu Guozhi was stunned and asked in surprise: "Master Governor, is the road to Kunming so uneventful?"

    "You will know when you get to Qujing." Gan Wenkun sighed and said, "I won't tell you now because I'm afraid to scare you. Anyway, you have to be careful after passing the Shengjing Pass."

    With a head full of questions, Zhu Zhongcheng set off from Guiyang to Kunming to take up his post. As a result, after entering Yunnan, the bewildered Zhu Zhongcheng quickly understood the painstaking efforts of Governor Gan¡ªthe team had just passed the Shengjing Pass.?The two mustaches on Yu Xuan's cherry mouth, Fatty Lu felt a little chrysanthemum twitching, so he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb and said with a smile: "If you have something to say, the third general, please speak directly, and Lu Yifeng will listen carefully."

    "Master Lu, can you let the honored servants avoid it for a while?" Line Yuxuan lowered his head and asked shyly with a reddish face.

    "No" Fatty Lu just wanted to refuse subconsciously, but he didn't think that several dog legs, including the idiot Fang Shiyu, would all bow to Yu Xuan as a conditioned reflex, and then they went out of the room together, and even held him from outside the door.  The door of the room was shut tightly.  Ever since, in the small room, only the poor little sheep Lu Fatty and the dangerous big bad wolf Lan Yuxuan were left.

    "Third General Line, there is no one else, please speak if you have something to say." Fatty Lu said in fear.

    Line Yu Xuan was not in a hurry to speak, but slowly raised his head, his big watery eyes were full of sincerity, staring at Fatty Lu, the cherry lips under the mustache were still trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something  The nervous appearance of psychological words.  Fatty Lu's poor little heart couldn't help but tremble, for fear that this young master, who was definitely as good as Longyang at first glance, would open his mouth to woo him¡ª¡ªthen Fatty Lu really wouldn't be able to stay in Nanning.

    All of a sudden, Line Yuxuan took a step forward and walked straight towards Fatty Lu, so frightened that Fatty Lu hurriedly took two steps back, staggered, and even sat down on the ground

    "Third General Line, I really don't have that hobby!" Fatty Lu almost screamed in despair.  (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 131 Fatty Lu, a powerful minister of the Qing Dynasty

    ?

    (ps: It will be Monday in a few hours, and the 7,000-word chapter will be updated. Please recommend tickets and monthly tickets for next week.)

    Rong Yuxuan, who looks like a beautiful woman but has two mustaches, suddenly took two steps forward, almost standing next to Fatty Lu's nose. This action frightened our poor innocent little virgin Fatty Lu, who staggered  He staggered back two steps, sat down on the ground, and screamed in despair, "Third General Line, I really don't have that kind of hobby!"

    "Plop!" Almost at the same time that Fatty Lu was sitting on the ground, Yu Xuan knelt down on his knees to Fatty Lu with a plop, and blurted out, "Lord Lu, Yu Xuan has something to ask."

    It wasn't until after saying this that Yu Xuan noticed that Fatty Lu was already sitting on the ground, and asked in surprise, "Master Lu, what's wrong with you? Are you all right?"

    "Noit's nothing, I've walked a lot over the mountains these days, and my legs are a little weak." Fatty Lu said tremblingly: "General Line, you said you have something to ask for, what exactly is it?" Said  Then, Fatty Lu's chrysanthemum twitched several times involuntarily.

    Line Yu Xuan's face blushed a few times like a woman's, and after hesitating for a long time, he whispered: "Yu Xuan wants to ask Mr. Lu to lend a helping hand to help the Nanning garrison overcome the difficulties and solve the urgent need of the Nanning garrison's serious shortage of food and salary."

    "So that's what happened." Fatty Lu's little heart, which was so nervous that it almost stopped beating, finally bouncing again, let out a long sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Three generals said earlier, they almost didn't scare me to death."  ,I thought¡­¡­."

    "What does Master Lu think Yu Xuan plans to do?" Line Yu Xuan asked in surprise.

    "Noit's nothing." Of course Fatty Lu didn't dare to say that he was afraid that someone as good as Long Yang Yu Xuan would court him, so he just got up and quickly changed the subject: "Three generals, please get up and say something, there is no need  Lu Yifeng dare not honor such a big ceremony."

    "No, if Master Lu doesn't agree, Yu Xuan won't get up." Line Yu Xuan raised his pretty face to look at Fatty Lu, and said with a stubborn expression: "Master Lu, you are recognized by my Qing Dynasty as the number one financially capable person  In less than three years as the magistrate of Qujing, Qujing has been reborn, and by the way, he has also helped the entire Yunnan and Guizhou to solve the problem of self-sufficiency in food and wages. Now that you have come to Nanning, Yu Xuan has the cheek to ask you to show up in Nanning  Commander, help our Nanning garrison and Nanning people solve this problem."

    "Third General Line, please stand up and speak up if you have something to say." Of course, Fatty Lu didn't dare to help Yu Xuan, but he bent down and said: "Don't talk on your knees like this, Lu Yifeng really dare not do it."

    "Lord Lu, if you don't agree, then Yu Xuan won't say anything." Yu Xuan's voice was choked up, and his big eyes were full of tears, and he said: "Master Lu, Yu Xuan dare not lie to you.  It has been four months since the Nanwang Mansion has not paid the Nanning garrison military pay and food, and the previous savings have been wiped out, and the army will soon be exhausted. If this continues, Yu Xuan really doesn't know what to do  You are the only one who can save our Nanning garrison right now, Mr. Lu."

    "Third General Line, you think too highly of Lu Yifeng, don't you?" Fatty Lu said with a wry smile, "I'm not a fairy who can turn stones into gold, what can I do to help you solve these problems? In my opinion, you'd better hurry up  Biao imperial court or Dingnan Palace, let them give you a supplementary military salary and food."

    "Lord Lu, if it is useful for the imperial court, Yu Xuan will not beg you." Line Yu Xuan finally shed tears, sobbing like a woman and said: "Because my father has won the hearts of the army, he served in the Guangxi army.  Reed is highly respected. Ever since Kong Sizhen and Sun Yanling went to Guangxi in the third year of Kangxi, our line family has become a thorn in their side, a thorn in their flesh, forcing our line family to move to Nanning, and trying every means to weaken our line family.  Let us send the family to reduce the army and pay, and hand over the army in our hands."

    "At the beginning when my father was in good health, Kong Sizhen and his wife didn't dare to go too far, but after my father fell ill, they got worse. In the seventh year of Kangxi, the imperial court cut Guangxi's military pay by 450,000 taels  , 300,000 taels were cut from our line army. For more than three years, our Nanning army has not purchased a single weapon or uniform. As for more expensive weapons such as muskets, bows and arrows, they are all  I dare not think about it."

    "The purpose of their husband and wife is to make our Nanning army collapse, and then take the opportunity to cut off all the military power of our father and son, and let them monopolize Guangxi. I am very clear about their intentions, but I have no way to stop So  Master Lu, Yu Xuan begs you, please save our line family and our brothers in the Nanning army, otherwise, next month, there will be no fire in the army, what will happen, Yu Xuan really can¡¯t think  Dare to think"

    &nIf you want to cut it, please let the emperor do it yourself!  But no matter what, Weichen and Si Gege insisted on doubting that this Lu Yifeng is definitely not as simple as it seems, and he will never be really loyal to the emperor!  "

    "Scholar Xiong, don't drag me into this slave family." Kong Sizhen panicked, and hastily disregarded the relationship and said: "After this incident, the slave family has already believed that Lu Yifeng and Master Lu are indeed loyal to the emperor."  , I don't have any doubts about him anymore."

    Xiong Cilu glanced at Kong Sizhen, but did not speak.  Mingzhu over there smiled and said: "Master Xiong, when Lord Lu was an official, you doubted him, but now that he has resigned, you still doubt him, so what will he do to make you believe that he is really serious about the emperor and the court?"  Uncompromising loyalty? Could it be that Master Lu really had to kill himself in front of you to believe that he was really a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty?"

    Xiong Cilu was a little speechless, but after turning his eyes, the fast-thinking Xiong Cilu immediately said: "Ming Zhongtang has said it, of course Xiong Cilu dare not let Mr. Lu commit suicide to show his loyalty! Xiong Cilu  Lu just felt that if Mr. Lu was really loyal to the emperor and the court, and what he did in Yunnan before was purely accidental, then¡ªwith Mr. Lu's talent, he should make some achievements for Guangxi when he came to Guangxi  , instead of traveling around the mountains and rivers all day long, waiting for the emperor's decree to let him return to Yunnan to serve!"

    Speaking of this, Xiong Cilu had already sorted out the order in his mind, and hurriedly said: "Since Mr. Lu has been in Yunnan for three years, he can unintentionally help Wu Fan solve financial problems, so when he arrives in Guangxi, shouldn't he also be in Guangxi?"  What big things to do? Help Guangxi get better like Yunnan? Only in this way can Xiong Cilu believe that Mr. Lu is indeed loyal to the emperor.  In order to let Wu Fan pick up a huge bargain, instead of being a treacherous and loyal person, he deliberately helped Wu Fan get rid of the shackles of the court!"

    Although Xiong Cilu's words were completely unreasonable, they were not without a grain of truth¡ªat least Xiao Mazi believed that if Fatty Lu really had such outstanding talent, he should not only help Wu Sangui unintentionally, but should also try his best to help him solve the problem.  Some of Guangxi's financial difficulties.  So Xiao Mazi quickly leaned back on the dragon chair and murmured in his heart: "Xiong Cilu's doubts about Lu Aiqing are not completely unreasonable. If Lu Aiqing really serves me wholeheartedly, then in Guangxi, he should also serve for me."  I do something."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Ah!" At the same time, in the city of Nanning, Guangxi, Fatty Lu suddenly sneezed heavily, put down the "Nanning Fu Zhi" in his hand, rubbed his nose and muttered: "Damn it, who is probably talking about me behind my back?"  Bad words. Counting the time, Gan Wenkun's report should be delivered to Xiao Mazi in a day or two. When Xiao Mazi saw the report that I resigned and went to Guangxi, what decision would Xiao Mazi take?"

    Thinking about it, Fatty Lu inadvertently turned his gaze to the book "Nanning Fuzhi" in front of him, and a bigger question came to his mind, "If I remember correctly, the big tin mine in Guangxi seems to be in Ming Dynasty.  Mining began in the early dynasty. Why did I search the "Nanning Mansion Chronicles" but couldn't find any records of tin mining here? Could it be that I made a mistake? If I really made a mistake, then I  How can I explain to the Line family, father and son, and the Nanning army?"

    "God bless, I hope I'm not mistaken, otherwise, I will lose face, and the plan to buy the line's army will be completely ruined."

 Chapter 132 Happy Oolong

    ?

    (ps: The 7,000-word chapter is updated again, asking for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets.)

    Although Lan Yuxuan is just a man similar to a woman, his small cherry mouth is no less powerful than any woman with a long tongue in this world¡ªat least Fatty Lu thinks so.

    Why did Fatty Lu come to this conclusion?  Because although Fatty Lu has repeatedly told Yu Xuan that there is no need to mobilize the crowd, let alone rush to Phoenix Mountain to explore with himself, but when he set off the next day, Fatty Lu was dumbfounded¡ª¡ªOutside the west gate of Nanning,  Fifteen hundred heavily armed Nanning garrison soldiers, armed with grain carts and tents, lined up on the official road.  In addition, not only Line Yuxuan himself came, but several important generals under Line Guoan Li Ruchun, Hu Tongchun and Quanjie also came, and Nanning prefect Han Zhang led his colleagues, experience, and general judges. These local officials also came  , densely packed with official roads.

    "Third General Line, isn't this too exaggerated?" Fatty Lu wiped his sweat, mourned and said to Yu Xuan, "Lu Yifeng just wanted to borrow 20 or 30 people, why do you get me 1000 or 2000 people?  The current situation of the Nanning garrison is not good, so with so many troops, who will pay for the money and food?"

    "Lord Lu, you have never been to Phoenix Mountain, so you don't know how big it is. Twenty or thirty people entered there, it's like throwing a handful of salt into the sea, and it won't work at all." Line Yuxuan explained very seriously  Said: "So Yu Xuan thought, since he wants to find the mine you mentioned, he should simply bring more people to look for it, so that the hope is greater. Anyway, the army is idle, so they take it to Phoenix Mountain to find the mine, by the way  You can also let them practice mountain marching."

    "That's right, that's right." Hu Tongchun, who has a straightforward personality, can't wait to say: "Master Lu, please rest assured that Phoenix Mountain is not far from Nanning City, and the transportation of food and grass is also convenient. The army needs to eat in the barracks.  It¡¯s also for eating, so there¡¯s no need to worry about wasting that bit of food, as long as you can find the big mine you mentioned.¡±

    "Lord Lu, although I am not good at mineral exploration, I have brought you some help." Han Zhang also squeezed forward, pointing to a group of people behind him and said, "After receiving the news last night, the official  , immediately organized all the blacksmiths, coppersmiths and craftsmen in the city, and asked them to follow us to Fenghuang Mountain to look for ore. They all said that as long as they can find the big mine you mentioned, even if they don¡¯t pay the prospectors.  Okay, as long as they are allowed to participate in mining in the future."

    The sweat on Lu Fatty's fat forehead rolled down, gradually forming a pouring trend, and he said tremblingly: "Three generals, Hanfutai, General Hu, and other generals, your kindness is appreciated by Lu Yifeng. According to Lu Yifeng's  After research, there should be a big mine in Nanning, but Lu Yifeng is really not sure if it is in Phoenix Mountain! If you can't find it, so many people have worked so hard and wasted time, what does Lu Yifeng think?  install?"

    "Master Lu, you are too modest." Hu Tongchun hurriedly said: "No one in the world knows that you are the living God of Wealth, Master Lu? Yunnan and Guizhou used to be poorer than us, so you just randomly set up a Eight Banners Fushou  You have made Yunnan and Guizhou as rich as Jiangnan, and now you are kind enough to come to Nanning to help us solve the problem of food and wages, can we not believe it?"

    After all, Hu Tongchun didn't give Fatty Lu a chance to defend himself, so he turned around and yelled at the Nanning soldiers who were waiting in line: "Brothers, Master Lu said that we have found the ore lode in Phoenix Mountain, and we will never again  You don¡¯t have to worry about not being able to pay the military salary! The military salary that was in arrears to you before can also be reissued with a lot of pennies, and everyone will be rewarded and rewarded! Brothers, Master Lu has helped us so much. Thank you, Master Lu.  ?!"

    "Thank you, Mr. Lu!" Countless Nanning soldiers shouted in unison, all of them high-spirited, high-spirited, and full of anticipation and excitement, as if they saw that the military salary owed for many days had been paid to their hands.  Seeing this scene, Fatty Lu's legs inevitably felt a little weak, and he couldn't help but glared fiercely at the masculine Yu Xuan, who stuck out his small tongue like a woman, and quickly turned his head away, not daring to  Look at Fatty Lu's fierce eyes again.

    "Master, you can't." Xiao Erlang was also taken aback by this scene, and couldn't help but whispered to Fatty Lu in fear: "It would be fine if we found that tin mine in Phoenix Mountain, but if we can't find it  , these Qiuba haven't skinned us yet?" Fatty Lu felt the same way with a sad face.

    When things got to this point, it was useless to frown. In desperation, Fatty Lu had no choice but to secretly pray that he remembered correctly, and that the legendary large mine was located in Phoenix Mountain, and that Han Zhang, the prefect of Nanning, personally  Leading the way, he led Line Yuxuan's 1,500 troops, and marched mightily towards Phoenix Mountain¡ªlooking for mines.

    Taking this opportunity, by the way, I would like to talk about the ban on mine clearance. The ban on mine clearance prevailed forty-two years after Kang Mazi.Is it the sales department?

    Being squeezed in the middle by the soldiers and civilians of Nanning, and standing face to face with the pretty girl Line Yu Xuan, Fatty Lu felt as bad as it could be, but the worst was yet to come, Line Yu Xuan  Suddenly struggling and hammering in Fatty Lu's arms, she cried coquettishly like a woman, "Liar! Liar! You lied to me that this is a tin mine, so you wanted to cheer me up, big liar, I was tricked by you  What a tragedy!" Weeping, Yu Xuan suddenly grabbed Fatty Lu's neck again, offered his cherry lips, and pressed them firmly to Fatty Lu's lips

    "God! Help me!" Unavoidable, Fatty Lu, who was squeezed so hard that he couldn't even touch the ground, screamed in despair.

    The exciting carnival lasted for less than half an hour. Finally, after the ecstatic Nanning military and civilian crowd gradually dispersed, Fatty Lu, who had been kissed countless times by Yu Xuan, was of course looking for water to rinse his mouth.  But this wish obviously couldn't come true¡ªbecause as soon as Fatty Lu let go of Yu Xuan, he was immediately held back by Shang Zhijie, Huang Zhangsi, Jin Guangzu, Ma Xiong, and Ma Xiongzhen.  , was almost torn to pieces and chewed on the spot

    "Master, the matter in Nanning is over, you should go back to Guangzhou with us, right? The prince is in Guangzhou, but I can't wait to see you!"

    "Brother-in-law, if you don't go with Sixth Brother, I will really tie you up with a rope!"

    "Master Lu, where do you still want to go in Guangdong and Guangxi? The governor will go with you. Whatever you want, the governor can provide for you!"

    "Yifeng, you call me Uncle Ma. You were wronged and went to Guangxi. Why don't you go to Liuzhou to join your uncle? What are you doing here in Nanning? Go back to Liuzhou with your uncle. If anyone dares to bully you, uncle will fight him!"

    "Lord Lu, although this is the first time I met you, I hit it off right away. This time you are in Guangxi, and as the governor of Guangxi, I have to"

    "Damn it, where is Lu Yifeng's son of a bitch?" A discordant voice came, and everyone looked up together, only to see a team of more than 20 cavalry rushing brazenly, led by a general  He roared loudly: "Who is Lu Yifeng? Who is Lu Yifeng? I know you are here, if you are smart, get out!"

    "Who are you? What are you going to do?" Countless Nanning soldiers and civilians stopped the cavalry and asked them where they came from.

    "What are you doing? According to the order of Guilin Metropolitan Commander Dai Liangchen, General Dai Du, you are here to capture Lu Yifeng!" The leader of the general shouted in a big way: "Go and tell Yu Xuan, if you are smart, quickly hand over Lu Yifeng who has offended Si Gege!"  Come out! Otherwise, he, Yu Xuan, will bear all the consequences on his own!"

    The answer to Kong Sizhen's servant's servant was, of course, the sound of shouting and killing all over the mountains and plains, as well as stones flying all over the sky, and fists and straw sandals falling like raindrops.  In addition, there are the roars of Ma Xiongzhen, the governor of Guangxi, and Ma Xiong, the admiral of Guangxi, "Bold! He, Dai Liangchen, doesn't he think that he doesn't want to be his own?!"

    "Damn it, arrest all these bastards and beat them hard! Beat them to death! Anyway, they are my subordinates, and I will be responsible for killing me!"  www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (Remember this website URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 133 Borrowing the Power of the Enemy

    ?

    Legend has it that in Dali, Yunnan, there was such a reincarnated god-man of the God of Wealth. He rode a small white donkey with two satchels on the donkey's back, gold ingots in the left and silver ingots in the right.  Wherever it is scattered, no amount of gold ingots can be scattered, nor can silver ingots be scattered.  When he walks there, he just points there, and you have to pick up your hoe and dig down. There are a lot of big ingots waiting for you in the underground.  If he smiles at you, then your business will definitely be prosperous, and the goods will be in rotation; the farming will be smooth and the harvest will be good every year.

    The reincarnation of the God of Wealth is of course called Lu Yifeng, also called Lu Fatty, or Lu Sanhao, and now there is another title called Lu God of Wealth.

    Believe it or not, the legend is believed by the soldiers and civilians in Nanning Prefecture, as well as the dignitaries in Guangdong and Guangxi.  Because they saw with their own eyes, how Fatty Lu found a huge silver mine in the Fenghuang mountain area where birds do not lay eggs, rabbits do not shit, and is full of thorns and poisonous snakes. The purity of the silver ore is as high as all  No one in the world has ever seen the transformation of worthless barren mountains and wild mountains into a treasure land with every inch of land and every inch of gold!  If such a miracle had not been witnessed with his own eyes, who would dare to believe it?

    Let¡¯s put it this way, even if Fatty Lu told the truth and admitted that he made an oolong, he originally planned to find a tin mine but found a silver mine by mistake.  I don't want to believe it anymore - who are you kidding?  Looking for tin mines turned into silver mines, why don't you say that the Eight Banners drug cream you planted in Qujing back then was actually planting some flowers and plants for pleasing to the eye?

    It is also for this reason that Fatty Lu brazenly recited this honor, acquiescing that he came to Phoenix Mountain to find silver mines, and even more acquiescing that what he is wearing is not fat, but gold and silver treasures all over his body  , Wherever you go, you can scatter a lot of money.  The military and civilian officials in Nanning and the dignitaries in Guangdong and Guangxi even worshiped Fatty Lu as a god, so that when Fatty Lu left the Phoenix Mountain area and returned to Nanning City, he had no chance to touch the ground with his feet all the way, and he was completely controlled by the people of Nanning.  carried back to the city.

    Fatty Lu is not good at mining, and he is powerless to help Nanning's army and civilians develop the Phoenix Mountain silver mine.  Experts in this field go to develop silver mines¡ªanyway, the silver mined and refined can be paid directly as wages, and some experts in this field and skilled craftsmen recommend themselves.  At the same time, the big parents and officials in Guangdong and Guangxi, such as Jin Guangzu, Ma Xiongzhen and Ma Xiong, will also provide the most powerful assistance, regardless of manpower and material resources, and the Nanning garrison has been owed nearly five months of military pay  And food and grass, naturally they and private wealthy businessmen rushed to pay in advance-anyway, I am not afraid that the line family father and son and the Nanning garrison will not be able to pay it back.

    In a word, although the huge silver mine of Phoenix Mountain has just been discovered, all the difficulties of the Nanning garrison have been solved, and the people of Nanning have seen the dawn of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich. From now on, the Nanning garrison basically no longer needs it  Worrying about the issue of food and salary, the only thing to worry about is how to meet the extortion from the boss, and how to meet the salivation of the Qing court and Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen.

    After returning to Nanning City, before the follow-up issues were exposed, the Nanning military and civilians and the line family father and son were of course still in ecstasy, but our poor Fatty Lu was already surrounded by countless troubles, Jin Guangzu, Ma Xiongzhen  Together with Ma Xiong and other officials from Guangxi, as well as Fatty Lu's official wife-in-law, Shang Zhijie, and the old man's confidant, Huang Zhangsi, they teamed up to surround Fatty Lu all day long.  Crying blood, the purpose is to let Fatty Lu, the Living God of Wealth, leave Yunnan and go to our territory to help us make a fortune, make a fortune!

    Finally, he used the excuse that he was too tired to temporarily send away the gang of wolves and hungry tigers, and answered them to let him think about it for one night, but just after sending these people back to the post to rest, Fatty Lu was immediately attracted by the extremely excited Zhu Fangdan, Hong Xiguan and Line.  Surrounded by Qiyu, they scrambled to ask Fatty Lu about the process of prospecting, and asked how Fatty Lu discovered this huge silver mine. When Fatty Lu brazenly claimed that he discovered the silver mine by studying and learning, Line Qiyu immediately pulled Lu  The fat man begged with his sleeves, "Sir, starting from tomorrow, can you teach me these knowledge yourself? Your knowledge is too powerful. I heard that you found this silver mine. Half of my father's illness will be cured immediately.  I can move down."

    "Let's talk about it slowly." Fatty Lu patted Line Qiyu's little head, and said with a smile, "You are still learning to crawl. When you learn how to walk, I will teach you how to fly."

    "Do you want to talk about it slowly? I have already combined the "Three Character Classic" and the??, why don't I use her power to let me return to Yunnan, and at the same time make Emperor Mazi no longer suspect me?  "

    "Boss, are you out of your mind?" Zhu Fangdan asked in amazement: "Bitch Kong Si is our sworn enemy, so you still want to use her power to get you back to Yunnan? Let Emperor Mazi no longer be suspicious of you?"

    "Master Zhu, if you were Kong Sizhen." Fatty Lu asked a little excitedly, "Then under what circumstances would you let my deadly enemy go back to Yunnan? And under what circumstances would you let Emperor Mazi no longer  Pay attention to me and let me fend for myself in Yunnan?"

    "Under what circumstances? Let my master go back to Yunnan and let Emperor Mazi stop paying attention to you? Is it possible?" Zhu Fangdan was even more confused, and said, "My master, your talent is as eye-catching as a volcano in the dark. Emperor Mazi  How could I not notice you?"

    "No need to flatter." Fatty Lu shook his head resolutely, and said, "What I'm asking you now is, if you were Kong Sizhen, under what circumstances would you try every means to persuade Emperor Mazi to release me back to Yunnan, and then let me fend for myself in Yunnan?  , never come to provoke me again?"

    Fatty Lu's question was too difficult to answer, Zhu Fangdan made a bitter face, and after careful consideration for a long time, Zhu Fangdan hesitated and said: "Unless, unless, if the student is Kong Sizhen, unless you don't come back  In Yunnan, the students will be killed, and the students will persuade Emperor Mazi to release you back to Yunnan. Also, if the boss leaves Yunnan, you may threaten the heads of the students, so the students will try their best to stop you  Leave Yunnan, and let the boss, you, fend for yourself in Yunnan."

    Fatty Lu's face was serious. After careful consideration for a long time, Fatty Lu slapped the table again and said, "There is a way! Master Zhu, you are right, unless I am only in Yunnan, I will not threaten her Kongsi bitch's head and  Only because of the benefits, she will try every means to get me back to Yunnan! As long as we grasp this vital point, we will have a solution!"

    "Boss, what's the best way?" Zhu Fangdan asked impatiently.

    Fatty Lu waved his hand with a smile, signaling to Zhu Fangdan to be calm, and after thinking for a long time, Fatty Lu said slowly: "Master Zhu, can you draw?"

    "Danqing?" Zhu Fangdan was taken aback for a moment, then scratched his head and replied, "A little bit, but not very proficient."

    "It doesn't matter, as long as you can draw, please work hard, Master Zhu, and draw two paintings for me tonight." Fatty Lu said in a deep voice, "The content of the painting is very simple. For the first painting, please ask Master to draw three people.  One is dressed as a prince and holds a weapon in his hand. The second person draws a fat county magistrate, holding his hand in front of the prince. The third person is a woman, standing behind the county magistrate, holding a knife in his hand, and stabs the prince.  the county magistrate's back."

    "For the second painting, I still draw these three people, but the woman has to be painted lying on the ground without her head. Then the fat county magistrate also has a weapon in his hand, fighting with the prince who is holding a weapon. Well, just  These are enough, as long as the features of the clothes of the people in the painting are obvious, the face can be blurred, and the prince can even turn his face away, which will save trouble."

    "Understood, don't worry, my boss, tomorrow morning, I will take care of you and get those two paintings." Zhu Fangdan was not stupid, and immediately understood Fatty Lu's intentions.  At the end, Zhu Fangdan asked again: "However, Master, you have resigned now, what channel do you plan to use to send these two paintings to Emperor Mazi?"

    "This is too easy." Fatty Lu smiled and said, "Master Zhu forgot, there are several high court officials who can help us deliver these two paintings to Emperor Mazi in Nanning City.  Yes, they are also an important part of my plan, don¡¯t they want me to help them make a fortune and make a fortune?

 Chapter 134 Openly declare war

    ?

    Discussed with Zhu Fangdan the strategy of returning to Yunnan with the help of the enemy, and carefully calculated the general details of the plan. The next morning, Fatty Lu, who had not slept all night and had thick dark circles on his face, found Line Guoan and  Line Yuxuan and his son, I implore the Line family to come forward, and in their name, invite Jin Guangzu, monk Zhijie and others who are in Nanning City, to the banquet, and repeatedly emphasize that Jin Guangzu, Ma Xiongzhen, Ma Xiong, Shang Zhi  Jie, Huang Zhangsi and others were invited to the scene at the same time so that they could act on their own.

    Originally, Fatty Lu could of course invite him in his own name, and Jin Guangzu and others who were asking for Fatty Lu would not refuse to give this face, but Fatty Lu's official status is too low, and at the same time he invited so many dignitaries.  , even if people give face, it is not easy to say this, so I have to ask the line father and son for help.  Of course, the Line family father and son would not refuse such a small request from Fatty Lu, and immediately sent out invitations in the reputation of Line Guoan, inviting Jin Guangzu and others to come to the house for a gathering.  We spent money to kill pigs and sheep, and Zhang Luo entertained Jin Guangzu and other dignitaries with banquets.

    The face of the old admiral of Guangxi, Lan Guoan, is obviously better than that of Lu Fatty. Just after the time passed, Shang Zhijie was the first to rush to the Lane's mansion for a banquet excitedly - in addition to the gift, he actually carried a stick in his hand.  The rope made a gesture of tying his brother-in-law back to Guangzhou. Immediately afterwards, Huang Zhangsi and Ma Xiongzhen were welcomed into the Lane Mansion one after the other.  Ma Xiong went straight into the Lane Mansion without notifying him, dragging his old comrade-in-arms, Lan Guoan, laughing and reminiscing about the past, and finally Jin Guangzu, the highest official, was welcomed by Lan Guoan and his son from the street to his home.

    Although Lan Guoan's old face is indeed useful, but Jin Guangzu and others obviously did not come for the meal of Lan Guoan. When they entered the mansion, they looked around to find Fatty Lu, the living god of wealth, and Fatty Lu didn't let them  Disappointed, it was rare for him to personally guide Line Qiyu to read the "Three Character Classic" and then came to the living room to entertain these wolves and hungry tigers with Line's father and son.

    While drinking tea, he talked nonsense about how Yu Xuan was getting more and more beautiful through his parents' short line. Jin Guangzu put down his teacup, and was the first to ask Fatty Lu with a smile on his face: "Lord Lu, if I remember correctly, you resign."  It seems that the memorial of the magistrate of Daxing County has not been approved yet, right?"

    "Go back to the Jinbutang, no." Fatty Lu replied honestly: "According to the distance and time, the resignation papers of the grassroots should be sent to the capital for a few days.  For those who are not, the Ministry of Officials not only approves it immediately, but also records it as a major demerit or never uses it, so the grassroots estimate that the Ministry of Officials should approve the low-ranking Zhe Zi.¡±

    "That's not necessarily true." Jin Guangzu laughed and said, "Your talent and ability, Mr. Lu, and your performance in Qujing for the past three years, even if you really handed in your resignation letter, the Ministry of Officials may not approve it.  Reject the reply, let you continue to take up the post in Daxing, or give you another job."

    "Even if this is the case, Caomin still insists on resigning. It's a great thing to add a thank you and ask for resignation." Fatty Lu said firmly: "The grassroots have made up their minds, and they are even more disheartened about the official career.  And I don¡¯t plan to leave Guangxi at the moment, I want to stay in Guangxi, a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers, for a longer period of time.¡±

    "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about?" Shang Zhijie was in a hurry, and said quickly: "Even if you don't want to be an official anymore, you don't need to bother Ma Zhongcheng, Ma Junmen, and Old General Line in Guangxi, and go back to Guangzhou with Sixth Uncle.  That's your home. Also, bring my sister and my nephew with you, my father and mother miss them every day."

    "No trouble, no trouble." Ma Xiong Ma Junmen was more anxious than Shang Zhijie, and rushed to say: "Nephew Yifeng, since you want to stay in Guangxi, then you are welcome, go back to Liuzhou with my uncle, where the  The scenery is better than Nanning.¡±

    "Ma Junmen, the scenery in Liuzhou is of course good, but the scenery in our Guangxi is not good?" Ma Xiongzhen took the conversation, turned to Lu Fatty and said: "Master Lu, since you don't want to be in the cold north  Officer, how about you go to work in the picturesque Guilin? Guilin has the most beautiful scenery in the world. When you get there, you can choose any official position in Guilin.  I don¡¯t know what Lord Lu¡¯s plan is for you to settle down in the official¡¯s shogunate for the time being.¡±

    "Ma Zhongcheng, Liuzhou is also under your management. Liuzhou is alright, isn't it your achievements?" Ma Xiong retorted and asked, "As long as Nephew Yifeng is willing to stay in Guangxi, is it the same for you in that state capital? Let's talk about it."  , you don¡¯t know that Si Gege and Nephew Yifeng have some misunderstandings, does he dare to go to Guilin?¡±

    "Of course I know this, but I believe that the misunderstanding should not be serious, right?" Although Xiao Mazi and the Qing court sealed up many deep inside stories, so Ma Xiongzhen really didn't know about Fatty Lu and Fatty Lu.Here, you don't have to worry about anything.  "

    "I will never leave Guangxi." Fatty Lu shook his head, and said decisively: "I just want to die here, so that everyone in the world can see Kong Sizhen's true face. One day, my grievances will be punished, and she, Kong Sizhen, will have another infamy.  Now, you can rest in peace!"

    "This kid has really gone crazy, and he is going to fight Kong Sizhen desperately." Everyone was shocked, knowing that Fatty Lu is blatantly declaring war on Kong Sizhen this time, and he will never stop until the fight results in a life-and-death fight!

    "My lords, this is Lu Yifeng's memorial to the impeachment of Kong Sizhen." Fatty Lu took out a sealed envelope from his sleeve, held it in front of Jin Guangzu and the others, and said in a deep voice, "Lu Yifeng has now resigned as a  People, you are not qualified to send this memorial to the capital through the post station, and to the emperor¡ªLu Yifeng has the guts to ask an adult to deliver it on his behalf, but who can help Lu Yifeng with this favor?"

    Jin Guangzu, Ma Xiongzhen, and Ma Xiong, the three officials who were qualified to send the performance directly to Xiao Mazi, all swallowed a mouthful of saliva. They all hesitated and dared not make a sound.  How far, and Fatty Lu was already prepared for this, he sighed hypocritically, and said: "Since all the adults are unwilling to help Lu Yifeng, then Lu Yifeng dare not force it, it doesn't matter, I will find another way  That's it."

    After all, Fatty Lu put away the sealed letter bag, opened his clothes and tried to stuff it into his sleeves again. He never thought that a skinny old hand would suddenly reach out and take the letter bag. Fatty Lu looked up in surprise,  But the person who received the envelope turned out to be the Guangxi veteran Long Guoan who was dying of illness.  Line Guoan put one hand on Line Yuxuan's shoulder, held the letter bag in the other hand, coughed and said: "Master Lu, for the matter of Phoenix Mountain, I have nothing to repay you, so I will pass this memorial for you."  You. Don't worry, no matter what method is used, even if it is to beat the drum to report to the imperial court, this old man will send this memorial to the emperor."

    "Old General Line" Fatty Lu was rarely touched¡ªbefore that, Fatty Lu's final preparation was to ask Wang Xu to come forward and force Wang Xu to pay back the favor again, but he never expected that Line Guoan would take the initiative to help  I am busy.

    "Master Lu, needless to say, this old man is not just for you alone." Ling Guoan coughed and shook his head, and said with difficulty: "Kong Sizhen has lost all face of the old prince, and this old man should be disciplined by the prince because he has received the favor of the prince to know him."  Discipline his unworthy daughter."

    "Yu Xuan, call Master Chen." Yan Guoan coughed again and ordered, "I also want to make a memorial to impeach the lord's unfilial daughter. I have as many charges and evidence as I want here."

    "Yes." Line Yu Xuan choked up and agreed, knowing how determined his father was, he decided to declare war on Kong Youde's daughter.  But at this moment, Jin Guangzu suddenly said: "Old General Line, wait a minute."

    "My lord governor, you don't need to persuade me, I've already made up my mind." Line Guoan shook his head.

    "I'm not persuading you, I'm just reminding Old General Line that you have resigned from the post of Admiral of Guangxi, and your memorial must be made public, and it can only be forwarded by the General Secretary." Jin Guangzu stretched out his hand and took it from Line Guoan.  Passing the sealed letter bag, he said, "So, let me pass on this sealed memorial from Lord Lu."

    After finishing speaking, Jin Guangzu turned to Fatty Lu and said, "Lord Lu, you don't need to thank me. It's about Guangxi officials. As the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, it should be like this. Also, Si Gege indulged his slaves Dai Liangchen and Wang Yongyuan in extorting money.  The common people have stirred up civil uprisings in Guanyang, Gongcheng, Fuchuan and other places, and it is time for the governor to report to the emperor."

    "Thank you, thank you, Governor." Jin Guangzu's conscience found out that he decided to put pressure on Kong Sizhen. Of course, Fatty Lu was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed his hands to Jin Guangzu to thank him.  Shang Zhijie and Huang Zhangsi discussed in low voices over there, and then said to Fatty Lu: "Brother-in-law, when we go back, we will report the truth to our father and try to persuade him to beat that Kong Sizhen too, no matter what.  , we can't just watch you being bullied by others, as for success or failure, it depends on your luck."

    "The old line doesn't care anymore, what else do I care about?" Ma Xiong, another veteran of Dingnan Palace, also said, "Nephew, don't worry, as an uncle, I have to help you a little bit, so let's do it later.  In a few days, I will sort out the criminal evidence of Si Gege eating empty money and drinking soldiers' blood, and send it to you."

    "I also have some evidence in my hand, and I will report it when I return to Guilin." Seeing that so many people have expressed their opinions, Ma Xiongzhen also had to express an attitude, and at the same time secretly made up his mind-just find a few small charges to suit the situation.  Now, there's no point in offending Kong Sizhen to death.

    "Thank you, thank you gentlemen, thank you all generals." Fatty Lu cupped his hands repeatedly, thanking him constantly, but thinking in his heart, "These old slickers talk nicely, if you really want to expect them to bring down Kong Sizhen, don't even think about it.  But this is almost the same, with their help to put more pressure on, Kongsi bitch will have to weigh the consequences of fighting me to the end. Next, how can I put more pressure on that bitch?"

 Chapter 135 Lu Abian

    ?

    Fatty Lu resolutely asked Pingnan Wangfu to help his son-in-law get rid of his enemy Kong Sizhen first, but Shang Zhijie and Huang Zhangsi's persuasion was useless, and he didn't dare to kidnap Fatty Lu away under the eyes of the line father and son. In desperation,  I had no choice but to take the reply letter from Fatty Lu to the old traitor monk Zhixin, and return to Guangzhou on business.

    Of course, no matter how you say it, the old traitor Shang is always Fatty Lu¡¯s genuine father-in-law, and Shang Zhixin is also Fatty Lu¡¯s genuine brother-in-law.  The fat man told them quietly again¡ªaccording to his own research, the largest silver mine in the Qing Dynasty was probably located in Gaoming County near Guangzhou.  The mine is much better, basically five hundred catties of ore can be refined to one catty of silver!

    Fatty Lu can swear to God, he really didn¡¯t make an oolong this time, he clearly remembers that the largest silver mine in China is at the foot of Dadinggang Mountain in Fuwan, Gaoming, and he really didn¡¯t make fun of the hardcore traitor old man¡ªit¡¯s just the silver mine in Gaoming  Fatty Lu seems to have forgotten that it is an ultra-deep mine, and the technology of this era cannot be exploited at all.  But no matter what, after getting this precious information, Shang Zhijie and Huang Zhangsi¡¯s resentment towards Fatty Lu¡¯s refusal to go back to Guangzhou disappeared immediately, and they hurriedly told Fatty Lu to be more careful, and then hurriedly returned to Guangzhou happily to report the good news  went.

    Shang Zhijie and Huang Zhangsi were finally sent away, but the three giants of Guangdong and Guangxi, Erma and Yijin, refused to leave Nanning in a hurry every day.  He made a trip to the Phoenix Mountain Silver Mine to inspect the development progress of the silver mine there.  Fatty Lu is well aware of the specific reasons for the move of "two horses and one gold", but most of the old Qiuba who can only fight and train soldiers under the command of Lin Guoan don't understand.  He asked Fatty Lu: "Master Lu, Governor Jin, Ma Zhongcheng and Ma Junmen have been in Nanning for almost half a month, why don't you leave? Do they still want to persuade you to leave Nanning and work for them?"

    "Of course not." Fatty Lu replied bluntly: "Last time I made it very clear, except for Nanning, where I stayed in the old general's army, I would not go there, and they never forced me again."

    "Then why don't they leave?" Hu Tongchun asked suspiciously: "I remember the last time Ma Junmen came to Nanning to inspect military affairs, and he left after staying for less than three days? And the Governor and Governor, they are also  You rarely leave the provincial capital?"

    Fatty Lu didn't answer, but just looked Hu Tongchun up and down, until he was confused by Hutongchun, then Fatty Lu suddenly asked: "General Hu, if I remember correctly, you seem to have said that you are ten  He served as a soldier with the old general Line at the age of four, and his qualifications in the Dingnan Palace are older than those of Dai Liangchen and Wang Yongnian, and he has made much more military exploits than them.  Wang Yongnian has also become a lieutenant general, and you are still a small general in Nanning?"

    "Master Lu, why are you asking this?" Hu Tongchun was even more confused, and replied angrily: "Dai Liangchen is a servant of the prince's family, and Wang Yongnian is Dai Liangchen's cousin. He has a backer and is good at flattering.  Of course they are promoted much faster than me. But when it comes to fighting, if I lead five hundred people, I dare to fight against their ten thousand people!"

    "I believe that, General Hu, you are the number one general under General Line's command. I've heard about this a long time ago." Fatty Lu nodded, then patted Hu Tongchun's shoulder with a smile, and asked, "Now, General Hu, are you  You should understand the reason why the governor, the lord Zhongcheng and Ma Junmen are unwilling to leave Nanning in a hurry, right?"

    Hu Tongchun was full of confusion, thought hard for a while, finally shook his head, and replied with a mournful face: "Lord Lu, I still don't understand, can you explain it more clearly?"

    "Oh, no wonder you are promoted so slowly." Fatty Lu sighed, patted Hu Tongchun on the shoulder again, and sighed: "General Hu, it would be great if I had someone like you under my command. Or, General Hu  If you were from Pingxi Palace, you would have been promoted long ago, what a pity, what a pity."

    "Master Lu, what exactly do you mean?" Hu Tongchun became more and more confused, and couldn't help but asked with a sad face: "Master Lu, why do I become more confused the more I listen to your words, and the more I understand, the more I don't understand?"

    "It's good if you don't understand, so as not to be sad. If you really want to understand, you can ask the old general Line or the third general Line, they will definitely understand." Fatty Lu sighed again, and greeted: "Brother Hu, don't say these things  Sad thing, let's go, let's go and call General Quan and General Xie, and go to the Fugui Building in the city to drink together, and I will treat them."

    Pulling Hutongchun and Quanjie and other high-ranking generals to the restaurant for a drink, further connecting with some class relationships, when it was getting dark, Fatty Lu?It is a turn from danger to safety, and it is not life-threatening.

    Because the murderer had made careful preparations in advance, and was likely to have companions to respond, the line family army and the Nanning government officials were unable to bring the murderer to justice in the end. Only the murder weapon was found at the scene of the shooting¡ªMing You  The military musket marked by Dingnan Palace!

    In this way, all suspicions were naturally pointed at the same person¡ªSigege and Kong Sizhen of Dingnan Palace!

    At the same time, in view of Lu Yifeng's background as an official of the Western Selection, the Pingxi Palace, the general backstage of the Western Selection Official, naturally could not just sit idly by. Pingxi King Wu Sangui personally ordered and sent important people to lead the team to Nanning city day and night to participate in the competition.

 Chapter 136 The Black Hand Behind the Scenes

    ?

    (ps: There is something at home, so the number of words is less, please forgive me, please ask for the monthly ticket and recommendation ticket at the end of the month.)

    If the news that Fatty Lu discovered the Phoenix Mountain silver mine was a thunderbolt that blew up the entire Nanning Prefecture, and even the entire Guangxi and Guangdong provinces, then the news that Fatty Lu was wounded by a musket in broad daylight in Nanning City,  It was the second thunder that blew up the entire Nanning Prefecture and the entire Guangxi.

    Logically speaking, the assassination of a retired county magistrate who has resigned from office to serve the people should not have caused such a big storm. Unfortunately, the stamp of the Dingnan Palace inscribed on the murder weapon and musket found at the scene of the assassination immediately brought the case to the fore.  It is dangerous to become confusing and sensitive.

    Everyone knows that Fatty Lu and Kong Sizhen have an endless grievance and hatred; many people know that Fatty Lu resigned this time in anger, and Kong Sizhen's shadow is probably behind Fatty Lu's visit this time.  Guangxi went to Rong Guoan and his son, and they also came here with the intention of sending them to Kong Sizhen to be killed. For this reason, they have explained the funeral in advance and arranged a small way out for the family;  On the day when the Phoenix Mountain silver mine was discovered, Kong Sizhen's slave, Dai Liangchen, in order to curry favor with his master, sent his henchman to coerce Ling Guoan and his son to hand over Fatty Lu, and captured Guilin to vent Kong Sizhen's anger!

    In the face of such a complicated background, Fatty Lu was suddenly attacked by assassins in Nanning City. The weapons used by the assassins were from the Dingnan Palace. Who else would not focus suspicious eyes on Kong Sizhen and Si Gege?  Perhaps when Kong Sizhen Sigege, who was thousands of miles away in the capital, heard the news, his first reaction might be to suspect that his servants were doing bad things with good intentions, and that they attacked Fatty Lu without his consent, right?

    Although Fatty Lu¡¯s life is not in danger because of his lack of killer shooting skills, in order to repay Fatty Lu¡¯s kindness in finding mines, the Line family father and son invested a huge amount of manpower and material resources to hunt down the murderer throughout the city, and Nanning City was also closed under martial law.  For three whole days, after finding nothing, Line Yuxuan personally presided over and directed the Nanning garrison to closely investigate the gates of Nanning Mansion, and continued to search for the mysterious assassin.  As a result, the secret negotiations between the Line family and his son and the two horses and one gold will inevitably be affected. Among them, Ma Xiong is better.  After signing the card, the Line family and his son were asked to give an answer within a time limit.

    On the seventh day of May, the sixth day after Fatty Lu was assassinated, it was just dawn that day, and Yu Xuan, who looked like a beautiful woman with thick dark circles, came to visit the small courtyard where Fatty Lu lived, as usual, and asked Lu  Regarding Fatty's injuries, Fatty Lu replied with a smile: "Thank you, Third General, for your concern. I'm fine. With the help of Divine Doctor Zhu, the wounds are already healed."

    "Really? Let me see." Line Yuxuan was afraid that Fatty Lu was deceiving himself, so he forced Fatty Lu to lift up his clothes. Seeing with his own eyes that Fatty Lu's wound had indeed begun to heal, he breathed a sigh of relief and said  : "It's really scarred, this is the best way, if Master Lu has any troubles in Nanning City, Yu Xuan really doesn't know how to explain to the world."

    "Third General Line has already said that since Lu Yifeng came to Guangxi, he made up his mind to throw his life here." Fatty Lu smiled brazenly and said, "It's just that Lu Yifeng never thought that they would use such a  The means to do it."

    "They have more methods than this, and they don't care about it." Yu Xuan, who was deeply hurt by it, sighed, and then said: "Master Lu, don't blame Yu Xuan for being wordy, if you go out in the future  , you must bring more guards. I have dispatched fifty soldiers with the best skills to protect your safety. Also, Mr. Lu must never eat outside in the future. It is shameless to poison the food.  It¡¯s not like they haven¡¯t used the means.¡±

    "Thank you, General Line San, for your concern, and Lu Yifeng followed suit." Fatty Lu also knew that this dead monster, Line Yuxuan, was sincerely looking out for his own good. Although he didn't need it, he also accepted his favor.  At the end, Fatty Lu sized Yu Xuan up a few more times, and asked tentatively, "Third General Line, your eye circles are so dark and your complexion is not very good. Did something happen? You didn't have a good rest last night?"

    Line Yuxuan did not answer immediately, and after a long silence, Line Yuxuan said in a low voice: "Yesterday evening, Lord Governor and Lord Zhongcheng notified us that they were going to leave Nanning tomorrow with a team, and told us that in view of the previous  The eunuch¡¯s opening of the mine disturbs the people and hurts the people, and harms the local area. The Phoenix Mountain silver mine cannot be mined for the time being, and we will not be allowed to mine the Phoenix Mountain silver mine until they submit an application to the court.¡±

    "Third General Line, the governor-general and Lord Zhongcheng are showing their cards to you." Zhu Fangdan interjected, "They are blatantly threatening, if you do not agree to their terms, old general Line and third general Line, they will  Please ask the imperial court to issue a decree to seal the mine,You go back and discuss it with the old general Line. Uncle plans to go to the nearby Taiping Mansion to inspect it, so he won't be in Guilin for the time being.  And your Uncle Jin also plans to go to Qinzhou to see the situation there. I heard that smuggling by sea is very rampant in Qinzhou.  You discuss it with your father for another day, then come back and give us an answer.  "

    "Also, Nephew Yu Xuanxian, please tell Old General Line that without the support of your Uncle Ma and Uncle Jin, you will not be able to fight against four divisions!" Ma Xiongzhen added nakedly.

    Fatty Lu had pointed out Line Yuxuan originally, saying that the longer this matter drags on, the better for the Line family and his son. Now that Ma Xiongzhen and Jin Guangzu have offered to extend the negotiation time, Line Yuxuan is of course wishing for it.  Thanks to the two uncles for your pointers, Yu Xuan remembered, then Yu Xuan said goodbye."

    The Golden Horses nodded and asked someone to send Line Yuxuan out of the gate, but just as Line Yuxuan stepped out of the back hall gate, a person rushed in after exiting the gate.  With sweat on his face, he said, "Jin Butang, Ma Zhongcheng, and the third general Line, I have been waiting outside for a long time."

    "What's the matter? Are you in such a hurry?" Jin Guangzu asked doubtfully.

    "Report to the governor, the six hundred miles just received are urgent." Han Zhang didn't have time to salute, and immediately raised the official document in his hand, and said: "Because Lu Yifeng, the former magistrate of Qujing County, who was born in the Pingxi Palace, was arrested in Nanning.  Assassinated, almost killed, Prince Pingxi was very angry, and decided to send Jinwu General Hu Guozhu to Nanning to investigate the assassination case of Master Lu, and will soon arrive in Nanning.  , Ask the subordinate officials to provide assistance."

    "Send Hu Guozhu here to investigate the assassination of Lu Yifeng?" Ma Xiongzhen hesitated, and said in doubt: "A retiring county magistrate was assassinated in Nanning. Is it worth asking Hu Guozhu, the eldest son-in-law of Lord Pingxi, to come forward in person? Isn't it too much of a fuss?"

    "Nephew Yu Xuan, come back!" Jin Guangzu's face turned pale, he hurriedly got up to greet him, and asked Line Yu Xuan to come back to discuss again.  It's a pity that Lan Yuxuan was not stupid at all, before Jin Guangzu could speak, he had already run out of the courtyard gate, and left Jin Guangzu's courtyard in a flash, even Jin Guangzu's followers couldn't catch up.

    "It's over!" Jin Guangzu sat back on the chair, screaming in his heart: "Why is that old Wu Sangui reaching out so fast? With his money and effort to support him, the Rong family will be even more secure. My 10%  Whether the dry stocks can be kept is a big question this time."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Fool!"

    Line Yu Xuan happily ran home and introduced the negotiation process to Fatty Lu. Fatty Lu turned angry, patted the table and shouted at Line Yu Xuan: "Idiot! Who told you to do such a great job? They are from Guangxi.  Local officials, even if Prince Pingxi wanted to get involved in the Phoenix Mountain Silver Mine, he would have to pass them. Only by joining forces with Prince Pingxi can Kong Sizhen be completely excluded from the profit distribution of the Phoenix Mountain Silver Mine! Jin Guangzu  They call you, but you pretend not to hear, and you have done such an absolute job, what if they team up with Kong Sizhen?"

    "I, I" Line Yuxuan felt aggrieved, and said in a low voice, "I was bullied too badly by them a few days ago, and I finally saw them being scared to shame, just, just  . . . "

    "Stupid words!" Fatty Lu scolded mercilessly, "Don't say it's just a little wronged. It's a smart way to cooperate even if you kill your father and enemy for the sake of political interests! Hurry up, take a ride!"  Not long after, go back and re-negotiate with them, say that you just heard the news that they asked you to go back, and then encourage them to join hands with you to start negotiations with the Pingxi Palace to jointly develop the Phoenix Mountain Silver Mine.  Only then can that bitch Kong Sizhen be completely excluded, and your family can get the most profit from the Phoenix Mountain silver mine!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 137

    ?

    Almost at the same time when the news that Hu Guozhu was about to lead a team to Nanning to investigate the assassination of Fatty Lu reached Nanning, the news of the discovery of a huge silver mine in Phoenix Mountain in Nanning Prefecture finally traveled thousands of miles across the Yellow River and Yangtze River.  In the city of Beijing outside, it was sent to Dingnan Prince Kong Sizhen who had not returned to Guangxi for two years.

    "I'm not mistaken, am I?" Kong Sizhen couldn't believe his eyes when he held the urgent bulletin sent by the secret station of the Thirteenth Yamen, and jumped out of the bed without even caring about putting on his clothes, and exclaimed in surprise: "  Lu Yifeng discovered a huge silver mine in Fenghuang Mountain, Nanning Prefecture? The silver reserves are as high as more than 42 million taels?! I am not dreaming, am I? There is such a big treasure buried in my feudal land?!"

    "Hahahaha, unexpected, really unexpected!" Overjoyed, Kong Sizhen couldn't help but praise his arch-nemesis Fatty Lu, "Unexpectedly, that fat man Lu Yifeng really has a way. Wherever he goes, he can surprise everyone there."  Make a lot of money! With this big silver mine, I no longer have to worry about money and food! Unexpected, really unexpected!"

    "Si Gege, don't get too excited." Xiong Cilu was not as excited and excited as Kong Sizhen, and hurriedly said: "Si Gege, from my humble opinion, Lu Yifeng discovered the Phoenix Mountain silver mine.  Although it is indeed beneficial to you, it also has endless troubles, and if you handle it carelessly, the consequences may be unimaginable."

    "Also." Speaking of this, Xiong Cilu suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly asked: "Si Gege, if I remember correctly, Nanning seems to be the former admiral of Guangxi who used to be in charge of Guangxi Dingfan for many years.  Guoan resident, right? That old man¡¯s son, Yuxuan Yu, has turned against you a long time ago, the Phoenix Mountain Silver Mine is such a big piece of fat, will he let you get your hands on it easily?¡±

    "Lian Yuxuan?" Kong Sizhen'e frowned, and snorted coldly: "He dares! That naughty and unfeminine Lan Santu really annoyed my old lady, and my old lady ordered him to go to Yulin, let him  Not even a hair can be caught!"

    What he said was beautiful, but Kong Sizhen was beating drums in his heart. What he did to the Line family father and son was very dishonest, and it had already greatly angered most of the old people in the Guangxi army.  Get out of Nanning, give up the newly discovered Phoenix Mountain silver mine, and the father and son of Rong Guoan and their group of old men in the Dingnan Palace will not fall out. It's a genius. I already have a bad reputation in Guangxi, so it must be  The wind stinks ten miles away, and the morale of the army and the people are completely lost.

    "You must not do this!" Xiong Cilu was taken aback, fearing that Kong Sizhen would do something stupid out of greed, he quickly dissuaded him: "Si Gege, if you dare to do this, then you are really doomed! What is Guangxi?"  Place, the most important place where the imperial court restrains Wu Fan, the only dagger pointing to the hinterland of Wu Fan! The imperial court is afraid that it will not be enough to maintain the stability there. You did this to stir up the Guangxi mutiny, and even forced Ling Guoan and his son to abandon the imperial court and vote for Wu Fan  , then no matter how much the empress dowager Lafayette and the emperor dote on you, they will definitely not be able to forgive you for this crime!"

    Kong Sizhen kept a stern face and didn't speak, just picked up the bellyband thrown on the ground and put it on himself, while Xiong Cilu didn't rush to get dressed, just picked up the secret report of the Thirteen Yamen sent from Guangxi and read it carefully, and saw  At the end, Xiong Cilu couldn't help crying bitterly again, "It's terrible! Si Gege, why is your slave Dai Liangchen so stupid that you sent someone to Nanning to arrest Fatty Lu without asking you for instructions?  He just went to catch Fatty Lu on the day when Fatty Lu discovered the silver mine, he really thinks it¡¯s not a big deal? He wants to cause you some more trouble?¡±

    "Dai Liangchen sent someone to arrest Fatty Lu?" Kong Sizhen was completely dazzled by the discovery of the silver mine in Guangxi at first. He really didn't see the last memorial, so he snatched it from Xiong Cilu and read it carefully.  After one pass, Kong Sizhen's absolutely beautiful little face suddenly turned whiter than death, and he roared hysterically, "You son of a bitch! Is your fucking head full of shit? If you want to kill or catch Fatty Lu, you'll have to do it!"  Flattering? If I could do it, I would have done it long ago, so I don¡¯t need to wait for you?! This time, I have been hurt by you! My old lady, how can I explain to the emperor?!"

    "Si Gege, don't rush, don't rush." ??Xiong Cilu quickly persuaded him, and said: "Just tell the emperor the reason clearly, because the capital is too far away from Guangxi, your order is still on the way, and you haven't had time to send it to Guangxi to stop it."  Dai Liangchen and his gang took action, and they decided to arrest Fatty Lu on their own initiative to please you, and you didn¡¯t know anything about it beforehand. The emperor¡¯s holy candlelight will definitely understand that this matter has nothing to do with you, and will not hold you accountable.¡±

    "Yes, yes, I have to report to the emperor as soon as possible and explain the reason." Kong Sizhen hastened to dress quickly, and said in a hurry: "I will enter the palace now, and the sooner I report to the emperor, the better, otherwise, I will ask you  pictureSaid: "As for the other two hypotheses you mentioned, this is not a problem. Doesn't that kid Li Xu hate Fatty Lu more than we do? Can't we just encourage the emperor to let him do it this time? Let's incite him in front of Li Xu again."  Fanning the flames, lighting the fire, it is really impossible to send people to do it on the road, do you still have to worry about Lu Yifeng being able to reach the capital alive? At that time, there will be no proof, and Wu Sangui and Rong Guoan will jointly mine the Phoenix Mountain Silver Mine, so what do we have to worry about?  Any trouble?"

    Kong Sizhen was even more hesitant, and did not say a word for a whole stick of incense. Xiong Cilu observed his words and said lightly: "Si Gege, if you don't want to take this risk, then let's use the first move and take the initiative to go to the emperor's place."  Plead guilty in front of me, admit that I misunderstood Lu Yifeng before, and ask the emperor to release him back to Yunnan and Qujing, and just ignore him in the future. As for whether there will be a chance to expose his true colors as a rebellious minister and thief in the future, and bring him to justice  , a thousand cuts, the next official is really not sure."

    Kong Sizhen was a little tempted, and almost wanted to stop here, let it go, and let Fatty Lu live and die in Yunnan from now on, but at this moment, Kong Sizhen suddenly recalled such a scene¡ª¡ªEvery time Fatty Lu looked at his  In the eyes, not only was there no emotion or desire, but also full of hatred and contempt. That kind of eyes was even more hateful than Kong Sizhen's eyes when Wu Yingxiong failed to seduce Wu Yingxiong!  Thinking of this, Kong Sizhen's heart ached for no reason

    "Bang!" Kong Sizhen slapped the side of the bed, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do this, fight Fatty Lu to the death!"

    "Well, there is no need to delay, let's enter the palace right away!" Xiong Cilu heaved a sigh of relief, but at this moment, Kong Sizhen rushed up like a tigress, hugging Xiong Cilu and tearing him apart  Xiong Cilu smiled wryly and said, "Si Gege, can we talk about it when we get back? It's not early, and if it is later, the palace gate will probably be closed."

    "I don't care! My wife is interested now, and I will enter the palace after finishing!"

    "Okay, okay, ouch, Sigege, don't bite!"

    "I don't care! I just want to bite you to death¡ª¡ª!"  motivation.) (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 138

    ?

    (ps: On Monday and at the end of the month, the nearly 8,000-word chapter is updated, asking for a monthly ticket, and asking for a recommendation ticket.)

    After repeated discussions, Xiong Cilu and Kong Sizhen reported to Xiao Mazi in this way.  The first point: Dai Liangchen, the governor of Guilin, Guangxi, discovered that Wu Sangui, king of Pingxi, secretly explored the geology and landforms of Fenghuang Mountain in Nanning Prefecture, Guangxi three times in his early years. The reason is unknown, but the exploration time is from the eighth year of Kangmazi to the ninth year of Kangmazi in the Qing Dynasty.  .

    The second point: In the middle of March in the 10th year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, Lu Yifeng, the retired Western election official, suddenly rushed to Nanning. On the pretext of being framed, he went to Nanning Metropolitan Line Guoan to seek asylum, and gained the trust of Line Guoan's father and son.

    The third point: Dai Liangchen's spies found out again that in late March, Lu Yifeng secretly persuaded Lin Guoan and his son to betray the imperial court and the Dingnan Palace, and take refuge in the Pingxi Palace with the Nanning garrison as a promotion gift. The exact result is unknown!

    The fourth point: In the first ten days of April, Lu Yifeng suddenly encouraged Line Guoan's son, Nanning Deputy Commander Line Yuxuan, to send a lot of manpower and material resources to explore the mountainous area of ??Fenghuang Mountain, and discovered a high-grade silver mine with astonishing reserves in the Dingjintou area!  ¡ª¡ªAs for the specific reserves, it is still unknown at present.

    If it was normal, Xiao Mazi would not immediately believe this report when he heard such a suspicious report and recalled what Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cilu and the others did to Fatty Lu.  However, Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cilu had to follow the prepared countermeasures and risk their lives to guarantee that this report was absolutely true, so that they could make Xiao Mazi make up his mind and lock Fatty Lu into the prison.  Beijing questioned the crime.

    Perhaps it was Fatty Lu's bad luck. What Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cilu didn't expect was that just when they were about to fan the flames in front of Xiao Mazi, the Fujian side suddenly sent a six-hundred-mile urgent report¡ªthe current Jingnan  Wang Geng Jimao passed away!  Geng Jingzhong, who almost wears the same pair of trousers as Wu Sangui, inherited Jingnan Wangjue and officially controlled the whole territory of Fujian!  And he went to the imperial court to ask Xiao Mazi to be formally canonized as a prince!

    Among the three feudal clans in Qing Dynasty, apart from Wu Sangui, who is the strongest, Xiao Mazi hates Geng Jingzhong second. Although this guy's strength is at the bottom of the San Francisco clan, his ambition is even higher than Wu Sangui's.  Big, all kinds of bad deeds are countless, he is more obedient to Wu Sangui than to Xiao Mazi, and at the same time he is secretly colluding with Zheng Jing in Taiwan, and his hidden evil intentions are obvious.  So taking this opportunity, Xiao Mazi really wanted to get rid of Jingfan in one fell swoop, or abolish Geng Jingzhong, the prince of Jingnan, and replace him with the more obedient Geng Jimao's second son, Geng Juzhong, to inherit the prince.

    Although Xiao Mazi's calculation was good, it's a pity that when he tentatively discussed this move with Ao Bai who currently holds the real power, he was immediately scolded bloody by Ao Bai mercilessly, "Stupid words! Abolish Geng Geng!"  Jingzhong for Geng Juzhong to inherit the kingship? You want to make the world chaotic, just do it! Geng Jingzhong has won the hearts of the Fujian army and has deep roots in Fujian. Can that trash of Geng Juzhong sit firmly on the throne? Geng Jingzhong will be captured without a fight?!  Geng Jingzhong was arrested without a fight, what does Monk Wu Yingxiong think of Zhixin? What does Monk Wu Sangui think of Kexi? When Geng Jingzhong raises the flag to rebel, Wu Sangui and Monk Zhixin fish in troubled waters, the south will be in chaos right away?!"

    Oboi was not the only one who scolded Xiao Mazi like this, the old witch of Xiaozhuang heard Xiao Mazi's plan in the Palace of Compassion, and was so shocked that she didn't even help the dragon's crutches, and ran directly into the Hall of Mental Cultivation to scold Xiao Mazi, "  Absolutely not! Your current number one enemy is Oboi, it is Wu Sangui, not Geng Jingzhong! Unless you want everyone in the world to rise up against you and make Oboi and San Francisco stand opposite you, you must not do this  It¡¯s a matter of pain for loved ones and joy for enemies! Hurry up, make an order immediately, and officially confer Geng Jingzhong as King Jingnan!¡±

    In fact, Xiao Mazi of course knows that it is a bit whimsical to abolish Geng Jingzhong and replace Geng Juzhong with the succession of the King of Jingnan, and to discuss with Aobai is to ask how feasible this matter is.  This villain didn't really intend to enforce it.  But it's rare to discuss a major national issue with Ao Bai, but he was scolded by Ao Bai and Xiao Zhuang together, how aggrieved and wronged the proud little pockmark is, it is impossible to describe with words.

    In this situation and background, after hearing the report from Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cilu, Xiao Mazi, who was already in an extremely bad mood, was completely furious, and almost didn't think about other things, so he blurted out and asked: "Dai Liangchen  Is this report true?"

    "Returning to the emperor, Dai Liangchen has always been diligent and conscientious in his work, since he reported it like this, he must have obtained enough accurate evidence." Kong Sizhen replied respectfully: "Otherwise, that slave Dai Liangchen would never dare to make a false accusation.  "

    "Bang!" Xiao Mazi slapped the dragon table heavily, and said bitterly: "Lu Yifeng, you finally showed your fox tail!"

    After saying bitterly, Xiao Mazi slapped the table again,¡­¡­¡­

    Although Prince Pingnan's character is not very good, he is one of the three feudal lords anyway, and he is also the only feudal prince's mansion among the San Francisco that is truly loyal to Xiao Mazi, so his book is not even for Xiao Mazi.  If he dared not to keep it, he had no choice but to find the old witch Xiaozhuang with the booklet and discuss with Xiaozhuang how to punish Kong Sizhen in order to appease Shang Kexi's anger.  When Kong Sizhen heard the news, he collapsed on the bed in fright, dripping with cold sweat, unable to get up for a long time, while the resourceful Xiong Dashi sat naked beside the bed in a daze.  He didn't say a word for half an hour.

    The assassination of Fatty Lu was the fatal blow to Xiong Cilu and Kong Sizhen. Although Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cilu knew the news a few days earlier than Xiao Mazi through the secret channel of the Thirteen Yamen, after reading the report,  Kong Sizhen still fainted on the spot!  After being finally rescued by Xiong Cilu, the first thing Kong Sizhen did was to cry loudly, "It's that goddamn dog slave who did such a wicked thing? Does he think my mother didn't die fast enough?  My old lady didn't die enough! She actually assassinated Fatty Lu secretly, how could this old lady explain to the emperor and Lafayette?!"

    When Kong Sizhen burst into tears, Xiong Cilu sat blankly on the ground next to her, and he didn't even have the energy to persuade her, because Xiong Cilu knew very well that although Lu Fatty's assassination case basically had nothing to do with him, he and Kong Sizhen had nothing to do with it.  , is now a grasshopper tied to a straw, unable to fly away from Kong Sizhen, and unable to run away from himself¡ªwith Kong Sizhen's virtue, he will definitely take him as a companion when he dies, and shake off the fact that he framed Fatty Lu  Go out, maybe you will push all the blame on yourself!  At that time, Kong Sizhen, who has a special status, may still have a glimmer of hope of survival, but she will definitely die!

    "It's all your fault, it's all your fault!" Sure enough, Kong Sizhen repeated his old tricks, grabbing Xiong Cilu's money mouse by the tail, hitting and crying, and said, "It's all your fault, you bastard!  Lu's fat man, let him fend for himself in Yunnan! You have to persuade my old lady to kill him, so that he won't steal your limelight in front of the emperor! It's all right now, it's come to this point  , what should we do? What should my mother do?"

    Although Kong Sizhen's words were shameless to the extreme, it was rare for Xiong Cilu to argue with her at this meeting¡ªhe didn't know how to reason with her, but he just lowered his head and endured Kong Sizhen's crying and beating, moving his head nervously quickly  calculate.  After a long time, Xiong Cilu suddenly grabbed Kong Sizhen's hands, and said nervously, "Si Gege, calm down first! Let me ask you, is it possible for your people in Guangxi to secretly send someone to assassinate Lu Fatty behind your back?"

    "Why do you ask this?" Kong Sizhen was stunned for a while, then nodded and said: "Of course it is possible, my servants are still very loyal to me. And they have done this kind of thing before."

    "However, there were governors, governors, and admirals in Nanning at that time, how could they dare to do this?" Xiong Cilu asked nervously again: "How sure are you that you are the one who did this?  "

    "Thousands of miles away, how do I know?" Kong Sizhen cried again, and said, "I also know that you suspect that my people may not have done this, but how can we find out the real culprit so far away?"  ? This will wait for our people to rush to Guangxi, the real culprit has long since disappeared without a trace, and the evidence must have been completely destroyed, how can we investigate?"

    "Ai¡ª¡ª!" Xiong Cilu sighed, punched the ground hard, and sighed: "We still underestimate that Fatty Lu, if he did it himself, this Fatty Lu would be too big!"  It's scary, such a vicious move can be used, and we don't give us the slightest chance to fight back afterwards! Compared with him, I am indeed far behind, too far away!"

    "Compared with him, you are far behind!" Kong Sizhen burst into tears, choked up and said: "That fat man, why do you hate my mother so much? My mother was sorry for him at the beginning, but why did he just say that?"  How can he treat me so hard? If he treats me better, I will be like this "

    Choking up to this point, Kong Sizhen could no longer control the emotions in her heart, let go of Xiong Cilu's braid, buried her face in her knees, hugged her legs and began to cry.  Xiong Cilu gave her a cold look first, then sighed and said: "Si Gege, it's useless to regret it now. If we don't want to die, there are only two ways to go now. One is to get along with Fatty Lu."  If he dies to the end, after hearing the news that the emperor ordered him to be arrested, he became a frightened bird and fled back to Yunnan, voluntarily exposed, then everything will turn around."

    "Of course." Xiong Cilu smiled wryly, and said, "I never thought that Fatty Lu would have such a trick. I pushed him to a corner, and he pushed us to a corner, so we will fight him to death."  , that means either he dies or we die. I really don¡¯t have the guts to fight him, but I don¡¯t know if you have the guts, Si Ge Ge.¡±

    Kong Sizhen continued to lower her head and sob without speaking. After a long time, Kong Sizhen raised her head, choked up and asked, "You said there are two ways to go, how about the second way?"

    "The second way." Xiong Cilu's eyes suddenly flashed a sinister and fierce light, so sinister and fierce that it made Kong Sizhen feel cold in his heart (To be continued.

    Kong Sizhen continued to lower her head and sob without speaking. After a long time, Kong Sizhen raised her head, choked up and asked, "You said there are two ways to go, how about the second way?"

 Chapter 139 Lu Yao Knows Horsepower

    ?

    (ps: The last page was pushed, asking for a monthly ticket, asking for a recommendation ticket, asking for collection, asking for encouragement and support.)

    Xiong Cilu and Kong Sizhen miscalculated not only one thing, they also seriously underestimated Li Xu's cunning and cunning and Li Xu's deep-rooted hatred for Lu Fatty. They asked Li Xu to deliberately slow down and go south in order to buy time for Dai Liangchen to be in Guangxi.  Collecting evidence of Fatty Lu's crimes will help him chop up Fatty Lu in the future, and Li Xu also patted his chest in front of them and said that he would absolutely do it.  Try to 'protect Fatty Lu's northbound' safety'.

    Of course Li Xu is acting, that's what Li Xu thinks, since Xiong Cilu and Kong Sizhen asked him to slow down the speed of going south, and hinted that he was going to kill Lu Fatty on the way, then it is enough to prove that Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cilu still didn't take it this time.  Seeing Fatty Lu's death certificate, I just made two-handed preparations, took the evidence if I got it, and assassinated him on the road if I couldn't get it!  In a word, Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cilu are determined to kill Fatty Lu this time!

    In this case, Fatty Lu is dead anyway, so why should he slow down?  Anyway, Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cilu have already planned to assassinate if they can't get evidence, so if they catch Fatty Lu as soon as possible, Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cilu can't get hard evidence, so why not do it?  The capital is so far away from Nanning, instead of slowing down to give Fatty Lu time to escape, and causing the night long dream to be complicated, I might as well catch this damned fat man as soon as possible, and force Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cilu to kill him as soon as possible  ¡ª¡ªIn this way, although I have to delay something, but I have also avenged blood, right?  In the future, if something happens in the east window, isn't it none of your own business?

    It must be considered, after leaving the capital, Li Xu naturally immediately forgot the promise he made in front of Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cilu, and took ten guards and the imperial decree all the way to Guangxi without stopping, day and night!  In this way, because Wu Yingxiong and Nanning did not have a direct contact channel, the news had to be sent to Kunming first and then to Nanning, so Wu Yingxiong's warning and Li Xu's arresting team, whoever can arrive in Nanning first will be the real one.  I can't tell

    It's hard to talk about two things with one mouth, let's ignore Li Xu's affairs for now, let's go back and look at Fatty Lu who has been forgotten for a long time.  Now Fatty Lu is of course still in Nanning, not only Fatty Lu is there, Governor Jin Guangzu of Guangdong and Guangxi, Governor Ma Xiongzhen of Guangxi, and Admiral Ma Xiong of Guangxi are also still in Nanning City.  Hu Guozhu, the number one confidant, also came to Nanning City with a brigade of Pingxi Palace guards. The excuse he used was, of course, to investigate the truth about the assassination of Fatty Lu, the former West Selector, in Nanning.

    Although Wu Sangui has always had a good reputation in reminiscing about the past and protecting the past, his son-in-law Hu Guozhu is much worse in this aspect. After entering the city of Nanning aggressively, the first thing Hu Dazhong and Hu Dazhong did not ask about the investigation of the case  Instead, he indifferently asked the local officials in Nanning about the development of the Fenghuangshan Silver Mine. After hearing that the Fenghuangshan Silver Mine was only mining and refining ore on a small scale due to lack of development funds and technical personnel, General Hu was pretty good.  The handsome handsome face burst into a smile immediately.

    "Don't worry, these are absolutely not a problem." Hu Guozhu patted Han Zhang, the prefect of Nanning, on the shoulder, but smiled at Lan Yuxuan: "We in Yunnan have mined copper and tin mines since ancient times, and some of them are skilled miners and those who know how to open kilns.  Kiln workers, General Lane, in a word, there are as many people as there are. As for the money and food in the early stage of mining, these are not a problem. I brought one hundred thousand taels of silver this time. If you need it, Third General Line, you can use it first  That¡¯s it, if it¡¯s not enough, I can send someone to transport it from Yunnan.¡±

    "Thank you, General Hu, but let's talk about these things slowly." Line Yuxuan said angrily: "General Hu came to Nanning this time, didn't he come to investigate the assassination case of Lord Lu in Nanning? Why did you come to Nanning City, Lord Lu?  You didn't ask about the current situation, but instead asked about the Phoenix Mountain silver mine?"

    "Oh, the Third General Line has taught you the lesson. I am confused." Hu Guozhu smiled awkwardly, and quickly looked around the welcoming crowd. Seeing that Fatty Lu was not among them, he turned to Line Yuxuan and asked, "Three General Line, Lu  How is your lord doing now? Why don't you see him greet me?"

    "The wound is almost healed." Line Yuxuan continued with a dissatisfied tone: "But today his wound hurts a little, so he didn't come to meet General Hu, and now he is resting at the general's home."

    "Well, please lead the way quickly, the third general. I will go and see him first, and I will talk about other things slowly." Hu Guozhu said quickly.  Seeing Hu Guozhu's anxious expression, Yu Xuan felt a little more at ease, and quickly led the way, led Hu Guozhu and his party into Nanning City, and asked his subordinates to arrange accommodation for Hu Guozhu's team, while he personally led Hu Guozhu back to the mansion.

    ?"Something must have happened!"

    Stumbling to the front of Hu Guozhu, Lu Xia just took out a letter from his arms, and before he could hand it to Hu Guozhu, he staggered and fell to the ground, and passed out directly. Hu Guozhu was shocked, and hurriedly called out  : "Hurry up, help him down and rescue him!"

    As he said that, Hu Guozhu hurriedly snatched the letter from Lu Xia, opened it and read it quickly, Hu Guozhu's face was completely pale, Fatty Lu just wanted to go up to read it, but Hu Guozhu grabbed his fat hand,  Tieqing said: "Yifeng, come back to Yunnan with me, immediately, right now!"

    "What happened?" Fatty Lu asked suspiciously.

    Hu Guozhu glanced at Lan Guoan and his son, and said in a low voice: "The emperor has sent a secret envoy with an imperial edict to go south to Nanning to arrest you!"

    "Xiao Mazi sent someone to arrest me?" Fatty Lu's expression also changed drastically, and he screamed in his heart, "How is it possible? What's wrong? I've shown a flaw?!"

    "What are you still doing in a daze? Do you want to stay here and wait to die?!" Hu Guozhu yelled, "Follow me immediately!"

    "General Jin Wu, Lord Lu, what's the matter?" Line Yu Xuan also saw that the situation was not good, so he hurried over to ask.

    "Boom boom boom boom" Almost at the same time, there was a thunderous sound of horseshoes on the official road in the northeast of Nanning.  Came on the official road from Nanning to Liuzhou.

    Just when everyone was inexplicably surprised, another group of Nanning cavalry rushed over first, and the leader always bowed his hands to the father and son of Rong Guoan on the horse and said, "I will report to the commander-in-chief, the major general, and Dai Liangchen, the governor of Guilin, will personally lead the army  Eight hundred cavalrymen and an imperial guard came to my Nanning, saying that they brought the emperor's decree, asking you to arrest Lu Yifeng and Master Lu immediately, and don't let him go!"

    "What?!" Line Yuxuan and countless Nanning generals exclaimed at the same time.  Fatty Lu, Hu Guozhu and the others over there were even more ashen-faced. They never expected that the imperial envoy from Xiao Mazi would come so fast, and the early warning messenger from Pingxi Palace arrived almost at the same time.

    "Say it again, who are Dai Liangchen and the others here to arrest?" Line Yu Xuanyue came out of the crowd, and asked the scouts in disbelief.  The chief clapped his hands and replied: "Major General, they are here to arrest Lu Yifeng, Master Lu, and the Imperial Envoy even revealed an imperial decree, asking us to take Master Lu down immediately! Otherwise, we will bear all the consequences!"

    As if being struck by lightning, Line Yu Xuan couldn't help taking two steps back. When he turned around and saw Fatty Lu, Line Yu Xuan screamed, "What are you still doing? Why don't you run fast! Ride my horse and run! Listen to the sound, they are leaving  There are still four or five miles to go here, you still have a chance to run, run!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 140 Harm to Nanning

    ?

    "What are you still doing in a daze? Don't run fast! Ride my horse and run! Listen to the sound, they are still four or five miles away from here, and you still have a chance to run, run!"

    Line Yuxuan's voice was very much like a woman's, but when she screamed sharply, it was no different from a woman screaming, with tension and despair in the sharpness, like a girl who saw  The heart-piercing voice and tone that the lover's sweetheart makes when he is in danger.  ¡ª¡ªIf you want to change your normal life, Fatty Lu will definitely get goose bumps all over his body again.

    It happened so suddenly that Fatty Lu, who had become more and more experienced and mature, was completely taken aback. Subconsciously, he used to lead Yu Xuan's rein, but just as his fat leg was raised, Fatty Lu suddenly calmed down again, because Fatty Lu  Suddenly, he saw that there were not only people from the Pingxi Palace, but also countless people from the Dingnan Palace, and there were countless people on both sides of the road.  Xiao Mazi explain?  Even if I can ignore the life and death of the father and son of the Line family, but with so many people tipping off the news, can I get out of Guangxi?

    "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you go quickly?" In desperation, even the scheming Hu Guozhu was a little flustered, and Fatty Lu urged him again.

    "No, uncle, I can't go!" Fatty Lu shook his head, pouted to the Nanning soldiers who came to see him off, and then pouted to the people watching the excitement on both sides of the road, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, do you see it? There is such a thing here?"  There are many outsiders, if I leave, as long as there is any one of them who leaks the news, not only we will not be able to escape, but the father and son of the Line family will also die! Uncle, you and the prince will also be implicated by me!"

    If the incident happened in Yunnan or Guizhou, and Xiao Mazi suddenly sent someone to arrest Fatty Lu, considering the importance of Fatty Lu to the Pingxi Palace, Wu Sangui and Hu Guozhu, whose strength has doubled one after another, might not be really afraid of Fatty Lu's involvement, and they might not really be afraid of Fatty Lu.  Fatty Lu handed it over.  But this is Guangxi, this is Nanning, even if you ride the fastest horse without sleep, it will take at least two or three days to return to Yunnan and Wu Sangui's sphere of influence.  If you can't drop it, you can't resist it, so Hu Guozhu can't help acting carelessly.

    "Then what should we do? You can't just catch him without a fight, right?" Hu Guozhu quickly asked, "You want to take a gamble? Bet that Emperor Mazi won't kill you if he catches you in the capital?"

    Fatty Lu was so upset that he didn't know how to answer for a while, and Yu Xuan ran up to Fatty Lu quickly, pulled Fatty Lu's sleeve, and cried out in a crying voice: "What are you still doing?  Don't run fast?"

    "Third General Line, what are you going to do if I run away?" At this point, Fatty Lu simply sold his favor, and asked Lan Yuxuan righteously: "The emperor sent an imperial envoy to arrest me, you let me go  Now, how do you explain to the emperor? How can I bear it?"

    "I'm not afraid that you will get hurt! I want you to live! Live well!" Yu Xuan finally cried out, dragging Fatty Lu, crying and ordering: "Come on, hurry up! Put Master Lu on the horse and send him back to Yunnan  Quick! Quick!"

    Fatty Lu still made a few friends in Nanning, Hu Tongchun and Quan Jie and other straight-minded generals rushed over, picked up Fatty Lu and left, urging him in a hurry: "Brother Lu, hurry up, don't worry!"  Leave us alone, we will figure out a way ourselves." "That's right, brother Lu, hurry up, if something happens to you here, how can we live with our conscience?"

    "Let go of me!" Fatty Lu roared wildly. He didn't know where the strength came from. He threw Hu Tongchun and the others away, and shouted: "No! Absolutely not! I, Lu Yifeng, can sit up straight  Righteousness, now being framed by treacherous ministers and imprisoned, I will bear the decapitation alone, but I must not implicate you!"

    "I said we were afraid that you would be troubled?!" Line Yuxuan cried louder than Fatty Lu, "Who knows what bad things those treacherous ministers said about you in front of the emperor again? What would happen if you were caught in the capital?  How can we be worthy of our own conscience? If you have any troubles, I, what should I do?!"

    "Mother! Why is this dead ladyboy talking so ambiguously?" Fatty Lu had goosebumps all over his body again, while Hutongchun, Quanjie and the others over there said nothing, picked up Fatty Lu and dragged him directly to the horse.  To push Fatty Lu onto the horse.

    Fatty Lu knew very well in his heart that there were too many people present here. Even if Yu Xuan, Hu Tongchun and the others fought for their official positions not to let him go, it would be absolutely impossible for him to escape from Guangxi at this moment¡ªrather than letting them go now  To pay back the favor, it is better to let these straight-hearted people owe themselves more favors, so that they have the hope of turning defeat into victory!  At the very least, the line family will do whatever it takes to ensure their own safety in Guangxi, laying a safe foundation for their next step of adapting to the situation and responding to Pingxi Palace!

    Thinking about thisThe commander of Ningdu, Lan Guo'an, and his subordinates betrayed their benevolence and betrayed the lord, betrayed the imperial court, and brought together Lan Guo'an and Pingxi King Wu Sangui to jointly embezzle Nanning Yinshan, with ulterior motives and an unforgivable crime.  Li Xu, the third-class bodyguard in front of the imperial court, arrested him immediately, and escorted him to the capital for interrogation by the three courts.  This is it.  "

    "The guilty minister Lu Yifeng accepts the order." Fatty Lu agreed loudly, and shouted joyfully: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

    "Fart!" Fatty Lu received the order happily here, Hu Guozhu burst into laughter over there, and Nanning soldiers such as Yu Xuan and Li Ruchun exploded. Countless people jumped up and cursed, "Put your mother's dog fart  When did Master Lu instigate us to betray the court? We are here to suffer and starve to guard against Annan, and even stabbed us in the back, it¡¯s that bastard¡¯s stinky fart!¡±

    "Master Imperial Envoy, Dai Dutong, when did Lord Lu instigate our Nanning garrison to betray the imperial court?" Line Yuxuan was the most excited and his voice was the sharpest, screaming with red eyes: "Our Nanning army is loyal to the imperial court.  When did you turn your back on the Lord, when did you betray the court? Who said it? Old I'm going to fight him!"

    "Third General Line, calm down, calm down." Li Xu said sweating profusely: "It's written in the imperial decree, and I can't help it. Besides, the imperial decree didn't say that you betrayed the court? It just said that the criminal officer Lu Yifeng encouraged  If you do this, if you hand over Lu Yifeng now, nothing will happen?"

    "Master Lu did not!" Line Yuxuan screamed, "Master Lu came to Nanning, and he only did countless good things for us Nanning soldiers, and he never said a single word to persuade us to betray the court!"

    "Yes, Brother Lu drinks with me every day, and he never said a word to persuade me to betray the court!" Hu Tongchun clenched his fists and roared, "It's that bastard who slandered Brother Lu like this, I'm going to fight him!"

    "Fight it! Fight it!" Countless Nanning soldiers waved their swords and guns and roared. The emotions were agitated and the scene was violent. At the same time, the soldiers guarding the city of Nanning also roared and rushed down the city one after another, killing Dai Liangchen, Li Xu and others.  The 800 cavalrymen they brought were pale with fright, and their bodies were like sifting chaff¡ªalthough the army directly under the Guoan Guoan was the worst equipped and the least paid in the Guangxi army, it happened to be the most desperate to fight.  Come to think of it, no one can say clearly whether any of the eight hundred cavalry can escape from Nanning.

    "Calm down! Calm down!" To everyone's surprise, Fatty Lu suddenly jumped out, waving his hands desperately and yelling, "Calm down, calm down, everyone!  Listen to me, listen to me!"

    Thanks to the Phoenix Mountain Silver Mine, Fatty Lu has a bit of prestige in the Nanning army. Under his desperate shouting, the Nanning soldiers finally calmed down. Fatty Lu took the opportunity to shout: "Brothers, you  For Lu Yifeng's kindness, I, Lu Yifeng, appreciate you, and thank you on my knees! But, you have found the wrong person, this guard Li, he is just a messenger, not to frame me, nor to slander you,  What's the use of you getting angry at him?"

    Having said that, Fatty Lu turned to Li Xu again, and asked loudly: "Guard Li, if I'm not mistaken, when Si Gege impeached me like this to the emperor, you probably weren't even there, right?"

    "Yes, I wasn't there at the time." Li Xu, who had already turned pale with fright, immediately nodded and admitted without even thinking about it.

    "Did Si Gege tell you about this later?" Fatty Lu asked again: "Did Si Gege tell you that Old General Line and the others have betrayed the court? They are going to give the Phoenix Mountain silver mine to Prince Pingxi  - It doesn't matter, you are just the executor, not the party concerned, you tell the old general Line and the Nanning soldiers truthfully, they will not do anything to you, and they will understand your difficulties."

    "That's right." Li Xu hurriedly said loudly: "Old General Line, all generals, I am really just a messenger, saying that the people who betrayed the imperial court and joined the Pingxi Palace under the instigation of Master Lu are Sigege and Xiong Dashi  , it¡¯s not me, I¡¯m just following orders, don¡¯t misunderstand me.¡±

    "Four Gege? Four Gege?!" All the Nanning soldiers present were stunned, saying that they never thought that Gege Kong Sizhen, whom they were loyal to Dingnan Wangfu, would slander them so much.  As for the already sick and out of breath, Rong Guoan's old face turned pale, gradually turning from white to gray, and finally opened his mouth suddenly, spewing out a mouthful of blood, and fell on his back to the soldiers

    "Father¡ª!"

    "Master¡ª¡ª!"

    Amidst the heart-piercing screams of Yu Xuan and the Nanning soldiers, Lu Fatty and Hu Guozhu both had grinning smiles, because both Lu Fatty and Hu Guozhu knew that buying chickens with cages was not only for the silver mines in Phoenix Mountain, but also for the Guangxi  The most capable and elite line national security army in the territory has fallen into the hands of Prince Pingxi like a ripe fruit.

 Chapter 141

    ?

    With the presence of the genius doctor Zhu Fangdan, Lin Guoan's old life was not reimbursed on the spot, but when he was rescued, his old life was only half breathed, and even the words had already been spoken.  It was whistling like a bellows, and there were only muddy old tears flowing in the eyes, and the light was so dim that it was almost undetectable.

    Faced with such a condition, Zhu Fangdan, known as the world's number one genius doctor, was helpless, so he had no choice but to say to Lan Yuxuan and other Nanning generals: "Three generals, all generals, it's not that students don't work hard, it's just that grief is greater than death, old general  My tuberculosis is already severe, but after being subjected to such a huge stimulus, my mind and body are on the verge of collapse. The students really don't know how long they can last. So, you'd better prepare for it.  Let the old general arrange the funeral."

    To everyone's surprise, upon hearing Zhu Fangdan's words, even Li Ruchun and Hu Tongchun, bearded generals, had choked up words and tears in their eyes.  Xuan Que didn't even cry, but clenched his tiny teeth, clasped his fists and gave Zhu Fangdan a deep bow calmly, and said solemnly: "Thank you, Dr. Zhu, please do your best to save my father, even if there is still a glimmer of hope.  Please do your best, Yu Xuan, thank you in advance."

    Of course Zhu Fangdan didn't even dare to say it, saying that he would do his best to rescue Rong Guoan, and Yan Yuxuan straightened up again, and ordered repeatedly: "Zhou Jian, send my father back to the Dutong Mansion, and take care of him day and night; Li Ruchun, order Nanning to garrison  All return to the team and strictly guard the big and small passes; Hutongchun, immediately gather the Nanning city garrison and come here to wait for orders!"

    "Decree!" All the generals in Nanning came out together and clasped their fists in agreement, and quickly went down to make arrangements.  Over there, Li Xu and Dai Liangchen were scared out of their wits and shouted repeatedly: "Lian Yuxuan, what do you want? What do you want?"

    "Nanning officers and men listen to the order!" Line Yuxuan yelled again, and countless Nanning officers and men present clasped their hands together and agreed neatly, "Here!"

    "Take Li Xu and Dai Liangchen down, but if they resist, they will be killed!" Line Yu Xuan pointed at Li Xu and Dai Liangchen and roared.

    "Lian Yuxuan, are you crazy? Do you want to be executed by everyone?!" Li Xu yelled out of his wits, "I am the imperial envoy. If you dare to arrest me, you are not afraid of being executed by everyone?!"

    Li Xu obviously underestimated Lan Yuxuan a little bit. In history, Lan Yuxuan did this. He forced Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen to hide under the beds of ordinary people and escape for their lives. He was not released until he promised to hand over all military power in Guangxi  If it came out, this would make Yu Xuan angry that his father was made so angry by the ruthless and ungrateful Kong Sizhen, so naturally he would be even less polite.  The Nanning soldiers were grateful for the old kindness of Rong Guoan, and they almost didn't hesitate when they heard the order. They immediately raised their swords and guns, and rushed towards Li Xu and Dai Liangchen like a tide, surrounded them, and shouted angrily: "Kneel down, kneel down!"

    "Guan Yuxuan, you are crazy, you are absolutely crazy!" Dai Liangchen howled like a pig, "You have thousands of soldiers who want to mutiny, you must be crazy!"

    "Stop being wordy, take it down!" Line Yu Xuan yelled angrily again.  Nanning soldiers rushed forward like wolves and tigers, pulled Li Xu and Dai Liangchen off their horses in two or three strokes, pressed them to the ground and beat and kicked them. The soldiers and guards around Li Xu and Dai Liangchen didn't even have the courage to resist.  No, they scrambled to drop their weapons and kneel down to surrender. The 800 cavalry brought by Dai Liangchen didn't dare to rush up to rescue them in a hurry because they had no command.  .

    It happened so suddenly that even Hu Guozhu and Fatty Lu didn't expect that Line Yuxuan would immediately make up his mind to openly launch a mutiny and directly attack the imperial envoy. Unprepared, Hu Guozhu and Fatty Lu hurriedly got together to discuss countermeasures.  Fatty Lu asked in a low voice: "Uncle, what should we do now? Should we persuade Yu Xuan to calm down, or let him go on like this?"

    "It's best to stop him." Hu Guozhu replied in a low voice: "Father-in-law hasn't made up his mind yet, and it's even more impossible to completely turn against the court for the sake of the Line family and his son. Keeping the Line family and his son is better than letting them die now."

    "That's it." Fatty Lu said in a low voice: "My nephew is going to stop them, please uncle get ready, Dai Liangchen and Li Xu's group in Guangxi should not dare to do anything to me, leave Guangxi,  The safety of my little nephew is up to you, uncle."

    "Don't worry, I'll make arrangements right away." Hu Guozhu also knew that Fatty Lu was really wronged this time. As long as he arrived in the capital safely, there would be no major incidents. On the contrary, he could use this case to stir up chaos in Guangxi.  So he immediately agreed with Fatty Lu's decision.

    "Stop! Stop, everyone stop!" After making up his mind, Fatty Lu immediately rushed forward, yelling, and with the help of Fang Shiyu and Hong Xiguan, he squeezed his way into the crowd until he was beaten badly.  In front of Li Xu and Dai Liangchen, who were in a hurry, he opened his hands to protect the two of them, and shouted at the crowd.?? is Soetu's younger brother Suo Mintai who was rescued once by himself.  Over there, Li Xu and Cao Yin were also surprised and delighted, they went up to meet him and asked in a hurry: "Master Suo, why are you here too? What's the purpose? Do you want to behead Lu Yifeng on the spot?"

    "Stop talking nonsense and accept the order!" Suo Mintai's eldest brother is the head of the imperial guards, so naturally he doesn't need to give Cao Yin and Li Xu any good looks.  Cao Yin, Li Xu and the others didn't dare to be negligent, they quickly knelt down together, and everyone also knelt down to receive the decree, only to hear Suo Mintai recite the imperial decree immediately:

    "Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor's edict said: After investigation, the governor of Guilin, Dai Liangchen, Jiumu Tianen, was humbled, but he didn't want to repay him. He fabricated criminal evidence, framed his colleagues, deceived the king, and slandered Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Daxing County.  The imperial ministers, bewitching the Nanning capital to lead Guoan and its subordinates to betray their lord and rebel against the imperial court! A subordinate of the Youyin faction assassinated Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Daxing County. The crime is obvious and unforgivable! Now the imperial guards Suo Mintai and Li Xu  , Cao Yin immediately locked up Dai Liangchen and escorted him to the Beijing Ministry of Internal Affairs for interrogation and conviction! His troops were under the direct control of Guangxi General Sun Yanling! Lu Yifeng was innocent and released on the spot! I respect you!"

    "What?!" Dai Liangchen couldn't believe his ears, jumped up and shouted loudly: "I fabricated evidence to frame my colleagues? Deceitful? Who said that? I want to confront him, confront him!"

    "General Dai, save your energy and call." Suo Mintai said coldly: "Your crime was committed by your master, Kong Sizhen, who killed his relatives righteously and reported it to the emperor himself.  Confront Si Gege face to face."

    "Abandon the pawns to save the car?!" Dai Liangchen was not stupid, and he understood it all at once¡ªit must be his black-hearted master who saw the situation was not good, so he had to pull out his slave as a scapegoat and a shield for her  .  Thinking of this, Dai Liangchen screamed up to the sky, "I'm wronged! Si Gege, you are so ruthless¡ª¡ª!"  , your support is my greatest motivation.) (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 142 A New Beginning

    ?

    (ps: October is here, I wish all friends a happy National Day, and ask for October monthly tickets and recommendation tickets.)

    On the twenty-sixth day of the seventh month of Kang Mazi in the Great Qing Dynasty, Fatty Lu returned to Qujing City amidst the welcome of tens of thousands of Qujing people.  The people's cheers were so loud that the newly built gates and buildings in Qujing City were almost collapsed.  Fatty Lu's fat face, which was trying to maintain a calm smile, finally showed an expression of relief and arrogance to the extreme.

    It's not easy, it's really not easy. In the nearly half a year since leaving Qujing, Fatty Lu, who has a dark heart, can't count how many times he was awakened from nightmares, or dreamed that he was accidentally exposed.  Being caught by the rulers of the mite Qing Dynasty, caught in Beijing and executed by Ling Chi or beheaded on the spot like Zha Rulong; or dreaming that because he changed history, Wu Sangui suddenly died suddenly or successfully withdrew from the vassal, causing his previous efforts to be wasted,  On the contrary, my hard work was cheap for the son of a bitch; or else I dreamed that Wu Sangui suddenly raised an army, and I couldn't go back to Yunnan in time, and was detained on the spot by the traitors from other places.  .

    All kinds of worst possibilities kept Fatty Lu awake at night, unwilling to eat, and never fell asleep peacefully at night.  But now, it's finally easy. After passing this level, the future is bright for Fatty Lu. The next question is how to force or induce Wu Sangui's rebellion in the shortest time.  king.

    Back in Qujing, Shang Wanyi had to take Lu Bangjing to cry in front of Fatty Lu. Uncle Qin Chuanwu, cousins ??Qin Yong and Qin Mo, and Fatty Lu's hard-core lackeys Li Tianzhi and Liu brothers who stayed in Qujing were also there.  It is unavoidable to hold Fatty Lu and cry a few times, and tell each other how farewell we are. Although these scenes are touching, they are really boring, so I won't detail them here.  Only Fatty Lu's former deputy in Qujing, Chen Dou, who has now officially served as the magistrate of Qujing County, still has the gloomy and ugly face of Fatty Lu who owes him eight hundred taels of silver, but the occasional gleam of joy in the eyes of a pair of mice is still  It made Fatty Lu feel extremely warm again¡ª¡ªQujing would be better.

    He is born with a busy life, and his ass is still hot in the position of prefect, and he has not even spared time to meet with civil and military officials from one county, one guard and three prefectures in Qujing Prefecture as usual. Sha Xiangde, the confidant of the new governor of Yunnan Zhu Guozhi, took  The official document from the governor's yamen came to Fatty Lu and handed it to Fatty Lu.  When Fatty Lu opened the official document for a look, he saw that the content was to order him to go to Kunming with Sha Xiangde to pay a visit to Zhu Zhongcheng, the governor of Yunnan.

    "Sha Bantou, it's not that I'm an official who refuses to obey orders." Holding the official document, Fatty Lu, who was determined to restrain himself from attracting attention, looked a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice to Sha Xiangde, the head of Zhu Guozhi's yamen: "It's just an official."  I just took over, and I haven't received the officials of Qujing Mansion as usual, and now it's autumn harvest, and there are a lot of miscellaneous tasks such as cutting medicine, boiling ointment, and harvesting of Eight Banner Fushou Gao. It's really hard to go away. Can you trouble Shaban  Head back to Mr. Zhongcheng, wait for the officials to be busy for a while, and then go to Kunming to pay a visit to Mr. Zhongcheng?"

    ? To change to another magistrate, the governor dared to shirk when summoned. Sha Xiangde, who was notorious in Yunnan and would never be under Zhu Guozhi, had already pulled his face down and said bad things a long time ago.  However, in view of Fatty Lu's tough background, and his reputation for contradicting and punishing his boss, it is rare for Shaban, who has been ordered by Zhu Guozhi, to not lose his temper. He just tried his best to smile and said: "Lu Futai,  Of course I understand your difficulties, but this was summoned by Mr. Zhongcheng, and it is also Mr. Zhongcheng's special care for Mr. Futai. If Mr. Futai refuses, I really can't explain to Mr. Zhongcheng."

    "But I'm really too busy here." Fatty Lu was extremely troubled, and asked tentatively: "Sha Bantou, I'm sorry to bother you to report back to Mr. Zhongcheng, and I will be in office for twenty days oh, half a month later, I will be in office."  The official must go to Kunming to meet Mr. Zhongcheng, is that all right?"

    "My lord Futai, if I can make the decision for my lord Zhongcheng, then I don't need to ask my lord Futai, I will agree immediately." Sha Xiangde smiled more humbly, but he refused to make any concessions, just said with a smile on his face:  "However, before I came to Qujing with a lowly position, Mr. Zhongcheng made a special statement. If you want a lowly position, you must invite the Lord Futai to Qujing. Otherwise, you will definitely be punished for the crime of incompetence. Therefore, please forgive us, Mr. Futai.  Don't make it difficult for a humble job to be a errand."

    Sha Xiangde's attitude was so firm that Fatty Lu felt awkward and helpless for a moment. At this moment, Chen Dou, who was standing by the side, suddenly made a gesture to Fatty Lu and weighed his right hand a few times. Fatty Lu suddenly realized, secretly  After scolding himself for forgetting all about the officialdom since he hadn't been an official for a few days, he quickly beckoned Xiao Erlang to his face, and whispered a few words in his ear, Xiao ErlangThe levy of life cream is absolutely unacceptable.  In addition, I want you to try to get out the court's minimum taxation limit from Zhu Guozhi and Gan Wenkun's mouths, and see how the court plans to tax the Eight Banners drugs.  "

    "Crack." The cotton towel in Fatty Lu's hand fell to the ground, and his fat face also showed a dignified look.

    "Master Futai, what's the matter with you?" Chen Dou was amazed and asked: "With your character, you shouldn't be so frightened by such things, right? Zhu Guozhi forced you to tax the Eight Banners medicine, and you used the excuse that the court has  If you don¡¯t have to pay taxes to refuse Baqi Drugs, and if you put some money to send that old thing, you should be able to pass the test, don¡¯t you need to worry about it?¡±

    "That's not what I'm worried about." Fatty Lu didn't bother to pick up the cotton towel, so he straightened up his fat face that had only been wiped halfway, sat on the chair next to him, and said with a gloomy face: "What I'm worried about is that the prince is right.  The attitude of this matter, judging from the order that the prince asked me to try to find out the bottom limit of the court's tax collection from Zhu Guozhi and Gan Wenkun, we, the prince, are probably playing with the idea of ??passing by, as long as the court collects the Eight Banners.  It's not too much, if the prince can accept it, then the prince will never fight to the death with the court."

    "Yeah, why didn't I think of this just now?" Chen Dou was also stunned, and exclaimed, "With the prince's character, it is very possible to do such a thing, and no one can persuade him."

    "We are such a prince, why are we so unbelievable? I have already produced so many good things, why is he still undecided, and confront Emperor Mazi head-on to the end? Still have the idea of ??muddling through?" Fatty Lu  Moaning in pain, he really couldn't understand the old traitor Wu's way of thinking. How could he be so weak and deceitful?

    After thinking for a while, Fatty Lu suddenly slapped the table hard, gritted his teeth and said, "No, I have to find a way to go to Kunming quickly. I must not give in anymore, let alone fall into the trap of boiling frogs in warm water!"

    "Master Futai, what do you mean, you want to persuade the prince not to make the slightest concession on the taxation of Baqi drug products?" Chen Dou asked tentatively.  Seeing Fatty Lu nodding, Chen Dou sighed, and said in a low voice, "Master Futai, if you plan to do this, I think your chances of success are extremely slim."

    "Master Futai, you can think about it carefully. If you can send the court with a small amount of money, the prince and the generals under him, why would you take the risk of doing what the Lord Futai wants? Why not spend a lot of money?"  A little money can be used to feed the dog and buy a peace? So the officials think that the plan of Mr. Futai is impossible to succeed¡ªeven if the prince agrees, the civil and military officials under the prince will not agree."

    Fatty Lu bowed his head in silence, and asked after a while, "Then what's Mr. Chen's idea?"

    "Master Futai, why can't you change your mind?" Chen Dou's voice suddenly became extremely cold, "Since you are doomed to be unable to persuade the prince and the court to die to the end, then why can't you give it a try and let our pockmark  The emperor and the imperial court have adopted a tougher attitude towards the prince, offering a condition that the prince will never accept, forcing the prince and the entire Pingxi Palace to the point of no return?!"

    Fatty Lu's body shook, and when he raised his head again, there was a smile on the corner of Fatty Lu's mouth, and he asked, "Master Chen, how about we burn yellow paper to worship brothers?"

 Chapter 143 Kicking the Ball

    ?

    (ps: At the beginning of the month, ask for a monthly pass again.)

    After noon on the ninth day of August in the tenth year of Kangmazi in the Qing Dynasty, Zhu Guozhi, Zhu Zhongcheng, the governor of Yunnan who was touted by later generations as greater than their ancestors and was recognized as the most shameless and corrupt official in the Kangmazi years, finally arrived.  Sanchakou Pass, the southern throat of Qujing Mansion, and at this pass, for the first time, I saw Lu Yifeng Lu Fatty, also known as Lu Sanhao or Lu Caishen, who was recognized by later generations as the number one scourge of the Qing Dynasty and the current prefect of Qujing in Yunnan.

    Different from the last time he came to Qujing, Zhu Zhongcheng's mood in Qujing this time is obviously much better, because the last time Zhu Zhongcheng was greeted by the Qujing Mansion, there were people crying for injustice all over the mountains and plains, rotten eggs and rotten cabbage flying all over the sky, and those brave people.  The ferocious Yi Miao campfire drew his sword at each other if he said something wrong.  But this time, Zhu Zhongcheng was greeted by an orderly army of officials, soldiers and civilians, as well as Lu Yifeng, who was known as the number one minister of the Qing Dynasty and the number one god of wealth in the Qing Dynasty, Fatty Lu. This feeling was really good.

    "Lu Yifeng, a humble prefect of Qujing, leads all the civil and military officials of Qujing, military and civilians, and welcomes Mr. Zhongcheng of this province to visit." While Fatty Lu led the officials and people of Qujing to salute, Zhu Guozhi took the opportunity to carefully scrutinize this famous direct subordinate,  What made Zhu Zhongcheng overjoyed was that the Fatty Lu in front of him looked very similar to himself. They were all white and fat and smiled at a Maitreya Buddha. Their eyes were also very small and they liked to squint.  The type of corrupt officials who like to suck people's fat and people's ointment - this is also Zhu Zhongcheng's favorite type.  Basically, corrupt officials like to bribe bigger corrupt officials, don't they?

    "Lord Lu, please hurry up, and all your lords and folks, please also please." Zhu Zhongcheng personally helped Fatty Lu, and said hypocritically: "Lord Lu is too polite to run to such a far Sanchakou  Guan came to welcome me, it's too polite, really too polite."

    "Lord Zhongcheng is too modest." Fatty Lu said even more hypocritically: "Lord Zhongcheng took time out of his busy schedule to visit Qujing.  The truth of ten miles? Moreover, in order to express his admiration for Mr. Zhongcheng, I specially prepared a small gift for Mr. Zhongcheng.  Lord Wang Zhongcheng, please don't refuse."

    Fatty Lu offered to give gifts as soon as they met. Zhu Zhongcheng, the first corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty, laughed so hard that he could hardly find his eyes.  Mr. Lu is famous, recognized by the government and the public as the number one capable minister of the Qing Dynasty, and the number one upright official in Yunnan and Guizhou, seeing him today is indeed a well-deserved reputation, it is better to meet him than to be famous."

    Smiling, Zhu Guozhi couldn't wait to ask again: "By the way, Master Lu, I heard that you have found a huge silver mine for the soldiers and civilians in Nanning within a month of your trip to Nanning, with silver reserves as high as more than 4,000.  Wanliang, was this rumor wrong?"

    "Your Excellency Zhongcheng has won the prize, and I am ashamed of my lowly position." Fatty Lu said hypocritically and modestly: "As for the Nanning silver mine, it is really just a fluke. I may not believe that Mr. Zhongcheng said that the lowly position is actually looking for a tin mine in Nanning  , It¡¯s just that I found a huge silver mine by mistake, and I¡¯m really ashamed of my reputation.¡±

    Of course Zhu Guozhi doesn't believe it¡ªcoax the ghosts to go!  Looking for tin mines has turned into silver mines, why don't you say that the Baqi drug cream is only for beautifying the environment?  !  At that moment, Zhu Guozhi said with a smile: "Lord Lu is humble, he is too humble. I believe that Master Lu will return to Qujing to take office this time, and he will definitely create miracles like the Eight Banners Drugs and Nanning Silver Mine for Qujing again. I am ashamed of you."  Shangxian, I can also follow you to gain some glory and leave a strong mark in my history books of the Qing Dynasty."

    After talking so much nonsense, Fatty Lu finally found a way to invite Zhu Guozhi's team to get up and stay in Qujing City with him. Zhu Guozhi readily agreed, and now Zhu Guozhi's team and Fatty Lu's team got up and went north to return to Qujing City  .  On the way, Zhu Zhongcheng, who had been a bureaucrat for many years, still had to go down to the field in person in a hypocritical manner, and under the guidance of Fatty Lu, he inspected the harvesting of the Eight Banners drug.

    Speaking of which, because the vassal land directly under the Pingxi Palace exclusively monopolizes the cultivation of Eight Banners Fushou Gao, Zhu Zhongcheng is really the first time to visit the harvesting process of Eight Banners Fushou Gao.  During the days when he left Qujing, Zhu Zhongcheng, who had suffered a lot in Qujing, really didn¡¯t dare to come to visit, so when he witnessed the harvesting process of Baqi Fushou Gao this time, Zhu Zhongcheng was inevitably surprised and unbelievable.  It was also unexpected that the black ointment made from the thick white juice would be worth more than white money.

    "Master Lu, how much can one mu of land like this be harvested in a year?"He is indeed a young hero, a master of Tai Chi, but there is some truth in what he said, we can't afford to offend the prince, why should we offend him, wouldn't it be enough to change to someone who dares to offend him?  "

    "Thank you, Mr. Zhongcheng, for your love. Mr. Zhongcheng's great kindness and virtue are unforgettable in his humble position, and there will be rewards in the future." Fatty Lu seemed to have smeared honey on his mouth.

    "It's good that you know that I let you go this time, and it really saved your life." Zhu Zhongcheng was not polite, and accepted Fatty Lu's thanks with a grandiose attitude, and reminded Fatty Lu not to forget his great kindness  Germany.  At the end, Zhu Zhongcheng asked again: "You are an expert, there is one more thing I need to ask for your opinion. If the imperial court plans to levy taxes on the Eight Banners Fushou Gao, how much do you think is more appropriate?"

    "Why did Mr. Zhongcheng ask about the lowly position?" Fatty Lu asked a little strangely: "The tax quota is set by the imperial court. Why did Mr. Zhongcheng ask for the opinion of the lowly position?"

    "You don't know something." Zhu Guozhi sighed and explained: "Baqi Fushou Gao is a new thing, there is no precedent to learn from, and Yunnan is too far away from the capital, the emperor and the court only know that Baqi Fushou Gao is very profitable, but  The emperor and the imperial court don¡¯t know exactly how much huge profits there will be, so the emperor and the imperial court handed over the issue of the negotiated tax amount to me and Gan Butang, let us negotiate the tax amount according to the actual situation, and then report it to the imperial court for a ruling.¡±

    "After a long time, it turns out that Xiao Mazi is not sure how much tax Baqi drug should be charged. If old traitor Wu hears this news, he will probably die of joy." Fatty Lu was overjoyed.  However, the purpose of Fatty Lu¡¯s return to Qujing this time is to force the old traitor Wu to rebel. This is extremely beneficial to the old traitor Wu, but it will definitely lead to news that the conflict between the old traitor Wu and Xiao Mazi will ease. Naturally, Fatty Lu will die in his stomach  .

    Excusing that he also needed to calculate and analyze the taxation amount of the Eight Banners Fushou Cream, after sending Zhu Guozhi back to Xingyuan to rest, Fatty Lu hurried back to his study, and in the study, Zhu Fangdan, the unscrupulous master under Fatty Lu's command, was also waiting here  It has been a long time.  As soon as we met, Fatty Lu immediately ordered: "Master Zhu, immediately draft a secret document for me to impeach Zhu Guozhi, governor of Yunnan Province, for being greedy, being too humble to Prince Pingxi, and suspected of betraying the court in exchange for his favor and rewards.  "

    "Boss, are you going to impeach your boss again?" Zhu Fangdan hesitated, and blurted out: "Just now the students heard from the back of the hall that although this governor Zhu is a bit greedy, he still treats you well, even when he is angry.  Or did you listen to your opinion and not force you? Why do you want to bring him down again?"

    "Wrong, I didn't intend to overthrow him. This person will be of great use in the future." Fatty Lu shook his head and said, "I just want to make Emperor Mazi suspicious of him, and worry that the tax he set is too low and cheap, my lord."  , take back the right to agree on the taxation amount of the Eight Banners drug, so that I have the opportunity to proceed to the next step of the plan, and also prevent this old shameless man from actually accepting the prince's bribe and setting the tax on the Eight Banners drug.  It¡¯s cheaper to grow sweet potatoes.¡±

    "The truth is not bad." Zhu Fangdan said worriedly: "But Master, don't blame me for talking too much. If you have such an idea, if the prince finds out in the future, it will be bad for you."

    "That's right, that's the truth." Fatty Lu nodded vigorously, and said with a smile: "That's why I only impeach Zhu Guozhi for being too greedy and being too humble to the prince. These are all facts, our suspicious pockmark  When the emperor sees it, he will naturally become suspicious, right?" (To be continued.

 Chapter 144

    ?

    After thinking about it all night, Fatty Lu, who has always been determined, finally changed his original intention after careful consideration of whether Zhu Guozhi asked him about the tax quota of the Eight Banners drug.  Because among other things, just Zhu Guozhi's virtue of selling his mother's belly pocket as long as he has money, makes Fatty Lu absolutely uneasy¡ª¡ªOld traitor Wu Sangui is not stupid.  The traitor invested in the Pingxi Palace or betrayed himself under the money offensive of the traitor, and brought this matter to Wu Sangui. Then Fatty Lu's vicious intentions of deliberately concealing this matter and forcing Wu Sangui against Wu Sangui were also fully exposed in front of the old traitor Wu?

    However, deciding not to hide this matter from the old traitor Wu does not mean that Fatty Lu gave up his plan to use the Baqi drug taxation to force the old traitor Wu to rebel, but that Fatty Lu came up with a more comprehensive strategy based on various situations.  Although the effect of the insidious and vicious trick is still unknown, Fatty Lu feels that it is more effective than the plan he prepared before.

    This plan comes from a story that Fatty Lu inadvertently recalled. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a monkey raiser who could only give each monkey seven chestnuts a day because of his lack of money. At first, he told the monkeys, three chestnuts in the morning.  Four chestnuts in the evening, the monkeys were very unhappy and strongly opposed it. Later, the monkey breeder said that the four chestnuts in the morning and three chestnuts in the evening, the monkeys turned their anger into joy and obeyed the monkey breeder.

    The number of chestnuts has not changed, but the distribution method has changed, and the monkeys are satisfied and happy. Whether it is because the monkeys are too stupid or something else, Fatty Lu does not intend to go into it. Fatty Lu just has such an idea - if Gan Wenkun and  Zhu Guozhi, the local officials responsible for negotiating the tax amount, first set a tax amount for Wu Sangui's Eight Banners drug that Wu Sangui was very satisfied with, and then Xiao Mazi suddenly overturned this decision, withdrew the tax ruling power, and set a new tax amount for Wu Sangui.  high tax.  So, in this situation, what would Wu Sangui and his wolves, tigers and leopards think?

    At that time, even if Xiao Mazi¡¯s tax quota for Baqi Fushou Gao is more reasonable, it would be acceptable if it was proposed at the beginning by Old Traitor Wu.  They are happy first and then angry, and when they are greatly disappointed, what action will they take?  Will it detonate the first Opium War two hundred years in advance?

    After making up his mind, Fatty Lu immediately put on his clothes and got up, went to the Qujing County Government overnight, and sent Wu Sangui to monitor him, but the current Qujing County Magistrate Chen Dou, who was basically on his side, got up from the bed, and talked with him at night by candlelight.  In the middle of the night, when the sky just dawned the next day, a snow-white carrier pigeon rose from the backyard of the Qujing County Government Office, spread its wings in the early morning light, and headed towards Kunming in the south.

    Of course, the speed of the carrier pigeon is much faster than that of the war horse. Only at noon that day, the news jointly reported by Fatty Lu and Chen Dou had already been delivered to Wu Sangui and Old Traitor Wu. After reading the report, Old Traitor Wu was overjoyed and slapped  On the silver case in front of him, he said happily: "Okay, it turns out that the imperial court was not sure how much tax should be levied on Baqi Fushou Gao, and handed over the power to determine the tax amount to Gan Wenkun and Zhu Guozhi. Now things will be easier to handle."

    "Father-in-law, is there such a good thing?" Hu Guozhu and Xia Guoping were also overjoyed, and hurriedly asked together: "Father-in-law, is the news about Yifeng reliable? Is it hearsay or accurate news?"

    "It's absolutely reliable. Zhu Baidi personally told Yifeng this news." Wu Sangui said happily, "Yifeng gave him five thousand taels of silver as soon as we met, and promised to give him so much every year. This idiot treats Yifeng as a  The confidant even asked Yifeng for his opinion, asking how much tax Yifeng thinks is more appropriate for Baqi Drugs."

    "Great, this is really pie in the sky." Hu Guozhu exclaimed delightedly¡ªalthough Hu Guozhu is not as weak as his father-in-law Wu Laohan, but it is a great thing that he can use a little money to send the Qing court to avoid the complete intensification of conflicts  , Hu Guozhu is still very willing to accept.

    At that moment, Hu Guozhu quickly suggested: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law suggested that we hurry up and make arrangements, prepare more money to send Zhu Baidi, and ask him to set the tax on Baqi Fushou Gao as low as possible. There is also Yifeng, who also wants to pay  The quota for taxation is said to be less, and we must act with us.¡±

    "Very well, I'll leave everything to you to arrange." The old traitor Wu still had great trust in his eldest son-in-law, Hu Guozhu, and he threw the most important matter related to the most important financial revenue of the Pingxi Palace to Hu Guozhu in a flash.  At the end, the old traitor Wu asked again: "Then do you think it would be better for Yifeng to answer Zhu Baidi, and suggest that Zhu Baidi set the tax on the Eight Banners drug?"

    "Needless to say, of course, one tael of Eight Banners drug cream is only charged one cent!" Xia Guoxiang was the first to exclaim.  Then Wu Yingqi yelled, "It's too highI know.

    "Of course." Xiao Zhuang said calmly: "Ba Banner Fushou Cream is so profitable, Wu Sangui has already made a lot of money, and he still receives more than three million taels of military pay from the court every year, shouldn't he  Do you want to hand over some to the imperial court? Is it true that the entire Qing court and the Forbidden City palaces are going to live together in tight belts, and let Wu Sangui eat and drink alone?"

    After all, the old hag of Xiaozhuang called Aunt Su Ma to help her up, and said indiscriminately: "Grandson, that's it, you can make an order according to your own decision. If something goes wrong, you will be sad."  The family will take care of the aftermath for you. If there is progress in this matter, report it to the Ai family immediately."

    Although Xiao Mazi is getting older and more powerful, he still respects and obeys the old witch of Xiaozhuang very much. Seeing that the old witch of Xiaozhuang is confident and seems to have a good chance of winning, she no longer insists, and immediately bows and answers: "  Please rest assured, grandma, my grandson will immediately decree to take back the right to determine the tax of Baqi Fushou Gao, and send another imperial envoy to adjudicate the tax."

    "I don't need to send an imperial envoy." Xiaozhuang suddenly changed his mind again, and said decisively: "Baqi Fushou Gao is Wu Sangui's biggest cash cow, no matter who is sent to adjudicate the tax amount of Baqi Fushou Gao, Wu Sangui will definitely buy it at any cost, try to  Lowering the tax amount will harm the country and benefit private interests. So there is no need to send imperial envoys, and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou should just report the production and profits of the Eight Banners Fushou Cream truthfully, and the court will decide how much tax should be collected.¡±

    Xiao Mazi was stunned for a while, then bowed and agreed, and Xiao Zhuang pointed to Mingzhu and Suo'etu who were kneeling on the ground and ordered: "You all remember, you are not allowed to leak a single word of what the Ai family said to the emperor today, especially  It's Oboi's side, don't let him hear any rumors, the Ai family has their own ideas."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    It was in Qujing City almost at the same time. After listening to Chen Dou's report on the tax increase and collection of the Eight Banners drug ointment in Qujing County, Fatty Lu couldn't help laughing, and asked: "It's so smooth, the people who grow the Eight Banners drug ointment  Inside, isn¡¯t there a tax-resistant person?¡±

    "It's very simple, because the tax is too light." Chen Dou rarely smiled, and replied: "The official purchase price of Baqi Fushou Gao is four yuan and one tael, and the private purchase price is more than six yuan.  Well, ordinary people would be so stupid to lose the planting rights of Baqi drug cream in order to fight against this tax?"

    "Oh, the common people are happy, but I believe that our pockmarked emperor must turn his nose up when he sees this tax amount." Fatty Lu laughed slyly, and said, "I bet our pockmarked emperor will definitely  I would even have the heart to tear Zhu Guozhi apart, regretting why I gave the right to set taxes to Zhu Guozhi, an old white pig"

    "Huh?" Fatty Lu suddenly couldn't stop laughing, and exclaimed, "No, why didn't I think of this before?"

    "Master Futai didn't think of that before?" Chen Dou asked suspiciously.

    "What I didn't expect was, why did the court entrust such an important matter to the local governor?" Fatty Lu said nervously: "Although there are some special taxes and tax increases, there is a precedent for the local governor to decide the tax amount according to the actual situation.  , but such a large tax source for the Eight Banners Fushou Gao is related to the imperial court¡¯s strategy of weakening and restricting the prince, so why is it delegated to the local government, so that Gan Wenkun and Zhu Guozhi can make decisions based on the actual situation?¡±

    "Didn't Zhu Guozhi say that because the Eight Banners drug is a new thing, the imperial court didn't know much about it, so it delegated the power of taxation to the local government." Chen Dou explained.

    "That's the most suspicious point!" Fatty Lu slapped the table, "Now the Eight Banners Fushou Cream Shops are everywhere in the capital, and the profits are so lucrative that they can be clearly grasped in the capital, and there is no need for the local government to rule  And the most suspicious point is that Zhu Guozhi, an old fat pig, was a well-known corrupt official in the world as early as the Shunzhi period. He even dared to sell his mother's belly pocket for money. How could the court pay such an important matter with so much money?  Leave the matter to him? Make it convenient for him to guard and steal from himself?"

    "Yes, this is very strange." Chen Dou also came back to his senses, and pondered: "Could it be that our pockmarked emperor suddenly became confused and made a foolish move?"

    "Impossible!" Fatty Lu said decisively: "Even if Xiao Mazi is still young and hasn't woken up for a while, it is impossible for the two foxes, the Empress Dowager and Oboi, to get out of such a blind game! I am sure that this  There must be a bigger conspiracy behind this incident!"

    "Then what kind of conspiracy will there be?" Chen Dou hurriedly asked again.

    Of course, Fatty Lu will not be able to answer what conspiracy is behind it, but after pondering for a long time, Fatty Lu suddenly revealed a look of surprise, and said: "Could it be that there are people in the court who have the same idea as us? They have the same purpose  ?!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

    (ps: The double monthly pass is coming to an end soon. If you still have guaranteed monthly pass, please give it to the pure and honest wolf.)

    At the end of September and soon into October, Gan Wenkun and Zhu Guozhi ruled on the tax amount of the Eight Banners drug products and began to collect the memorial. Finally, it passed through thousands of mountains and rivers, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and was sent to the capital, and then to the Forbidden City.  In front of the current chief of the Qing dynasty who ate bran and drank pockmarked pockmarks.  The result was just as Fatty Lu had expected, when he saw Zhu Guozhi's suggestion and Gan Wenkun's approval that one tael of Eight Banners drugs only charged one penny for taxation, Xiao Mazi went into a rage.

    "Slave dog, which family's errands are you doing? One tael of Eight Banners medicine is sold for three taels of silver in the capital, and they are only charged a penny in tax. It's better to not charge a damn penny! Dog slave, dog slave  ! Two god-killing servants who are crawling around!"

    Scolding is scolding, and rage is rage, but Xiao Mazi really can't find any reason to punish these two slaves¡ªafter all, Xiao Mazi didn't ask Zhu Guozhi and Gan Wenkun to levy much tax on Baqi Fushou Gao  , and the land tax collected by Miqing in the south ranges from four to seven renminbi per mu. Gan Wenkun and Zhu Guozhi levied an additional tax of more than two taels of silver per mu on this basis, Xiao Mazi  With what reason to accuse these two bloody dog ??minions?  This is how the collection of agricultural taxes is done these days.

    Having said that, can the profit of growing drugs compare with that of growing food?  How many times is the profit of an acre of Eight Banners' drug production as that of grain?  Using food tax standards to levy drug taxes, what kind of thing is this?

    Xiao Mazi was not the only one who went mad. Seeing the tax quota set by Zhu Guozhi and Gan Wenkun for the Eight Banners Fushou cream, several of Xiao Mazi's cronies Mingzhu, Suo Etu and Xiong Cilu also became furious, "One or two Eight Banners Fushou  The ointment is only taxed for one penny? This tael of Baqi Fushou ointment grows from the ground, and when transported to Guangzhou, it can be sold for two taels of silver, and when transported to the capital, it can be sold for two taels to three taels of silver.  What is the difference between this and no tax at all? There is a problem, there is definitely a problem in the middle!"

    Cursing is all about scolding, but it's done. Gan Wenkun and Zhu Guozhi's joint memorial clearly stated that after they ruled on this appropriate and appropriate tax amount, they have issued a constitutional decree and officially started to collect it. What courage do Mingzhu's little pockmarked confidantes have?  Suggest that Xiao Mazi abolish this quota and redefine the tax rate?  In case Wu Sangui is angered and there are serious consequences, who will bear the responsibility?

    It was also at this time that Mingzhu and Xiao Mazi suddenly remembered an important event¡ªa few days ago Xiao Zhuang ordered Xiao Mazi to expedite the decree with six hundred miles to take back the taxation rights of the Eight Banners Fushou Gao from the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.  Gan Wenkun and Zhu Guozhi have already started to collect taxes in Yunnan, maybe they have already been collected, so what to do with this imperial decree that is still on the way?  If you ignore it and the imperial decree spreads to Yunnan, why won't Yunnan explode?

    "Your Majesty." Thinking of this, Mingzhu suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly said: "If my slave remembers correctly, the old ancestor once told me that if there is any progress in this matter, she must report it to her old lady immediately. It seems that the old ancestor is very concerned  This matter must be well-thought-out, why don't the emperor consult the opinions of the ancestors?"

    "There is such a thing, and I am so angry and confused." The pockmarked little pockmarked face finally came back to his senses, and quickly stood up and ordered: "Quick, drive to the Palace of Compassion."

    Xiao Mazi drove to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, which was located in the deep palace, without a will. Of course, Mingzhu and Suo'etu didn't dare to follow.  When Yunmen, Longzongmen and Ciningmen arrived at the Palace of Compassion, they learned that the old hag of Xiaozhuang was walking in the small garden behind the Palace of Compassion and admiring the flowers.  Drink tea in the gazebo in the middle.  Xiao Mazi hurriedly walked through the winding corridors, knelt down to the old witch of Xiaozhuang and said, "Grandson Xuanye, pay respects to grandma."

    "Your Majesty, why do you have time to come and sit here at Ai's house today?" Xiao Zhuang greeted Xiao Mazi to get up with a smile, and without waiting for Xiao Mazi's answer, he ordered the people around: "Su Ma and Li Yinzheng stay here.  Everyone else should step back, Aijia wants to say something considerate to the emperor."

    "Cover." All the maids and eunuchs agreed, and exited the pavilion together, leaving four people including Xiaozhuang's grandfather and grandson talking in the pavilion in the center of the pool.  It was only at this moment that Xiao Mazi discovered his grandmother's treachery. This gazebo seemed to be open and unobstructed, but it was surrounded by water.  Come on, Oboi's ubiquitous eyeliner in the palace can't eavesdrop on his private conversation with his grandmother.

    "The emperor is here today to collect taxes on the Eight Banners' medicines, right?" Xiao Zhuang asked with a smile.

    Xiao Mazi nodded and didn't speak, but just directly reported the memorial jointly signed by Gan Wenkun and Zhu GuozhiLet's talk.  Aobai was curious and said respectfully: "Your Majesty has orders, and this servant will do his best."  "

    "Grand Master Ao!" What Oboi never imagined in his dreams was that after Xiao Mazi let out a miserable cry, he plopped down on his knees.  Ao Bai, who had already been brainwashed by the system of monarch, subject and master and slave, was so frightened that he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down on his knees and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, what are you doing? You want to beat the slave to death?"

    "Grand Master Ao" Xiao Mazi choked up with tears rolling down his pockmarked face.

    "Your Majesty, please get up first, if you have anything to say, please get up and say something." Ao Bai hurriedly went to help Xiao Mazi, but Xiao Mazi shook his head desperately, crying even more heartbroken, pear blossoms raining.  Aobai complained in his heart, thinking why the emperor also came to this set, he made it clear that he was imitating the empress dowager, bullying me to be soft and not hard.  In desperation, Oboi had no choice but to put his forehead on the ground, and said tremblingly: "If the emperor insists on killing this servant, then this servant will not dare to accept the emperor's gift. This servant only asks the emperor to explain the reason clearly, but there are orders.  For your kindness, I will definitely go through fire and water, and be smashed to pieces, I will not hesitate."

    "Grand Master Ao, please take a look at this first." Xiao Mazi sobbed, and took out a thick account book from his arms. It was impressively given to Xiao Mazi by Xiao Zhuang, which recorded Wu Sangui's secret expansion of the army,  The account book that hoards grass and accumulates food and has bad intentions (To be continued.

 Chapter 146 Traitor Obai

    ?

    (ps: There are only two days left for the double monthly pass, and the 7,000-word chapter is updated to ask for a monthly pass.)

    "Grand Master Ao, please take a look at this first." Xiao Mazi, who was kneeling on the ground, sobbed, took out the thick witch's secret book from his arms, and presented it to Ao who was also kneeling on the opposite side with his hands in his mouth.  In front of Bai, he choked up and said: "After reading this, the grand master will understand my painstaking efforts."

    Xiao Mazi's words and deeds were so solemn, and Oboi, who was appraised by Fatty Lu as a loyal minister, did not dare to neglect, quickly took the black book from Xiao Mazi with both hands, and knelt on the ground to read it carefully, but his last  The reaction was beyond Xiao Mazi's reaction, neither as furious and furious as Xiao Mazi imagined, nor as indifferent or gloating as Xiao Mazi was planning for the worst. Instead, he was a little surprised and a little calm, just fine.  It's like being mentally prepared for this but not being mentally prepared enough.

    The fact is exactly the same. Regarding Wu Sangui's recruitment and frenzied preparations, Oboi had already known it well, but he didn't grasp it in such detail as the old hag of Xiaozhuang.  I was a little startled secretly, I didn't expect that I just deliberately indulged Wu Sangui's military expansion. In less than two years, the military strength of Yunnan and Guizhou has grown to this point. Although it will not threaten the stability of Miqing's country, it also has a part of independent self-defense.  The power of war.

    Of course, Obai¡¯s conclusion is based on his impression that Wu Sangui¡¯s army¡¯s weapons and equipment have not changed. If Obai can know Wu Sangui¡¯s current real weapon reserves and weapon development and equipment with the help of a certain catastrophe, then  You will definitely find that even if Mite Qing puts all the power of the whole country, whether he can completely eradicate the current Wu Sangui's forces is probably a huge problem.

    "I dare not lie to the emperor. I have heard about Wu Sangui's crimes for a long time, but I don't have the details of the emperor." Aobai closed Wu Sangui's black tent and asked tentatively: "The emperor showed these things to the slave today.  , Could it be that you want the servant to take action and cut off the traitorous king? Or do you want the slave to step forward to suppress the arrogance of the traitorous king, so that he can rein in the precipice and find his way back?"

    "Wu Sangui, the king of feudal lords, has been favored by the king, with the highest quality and noble rank, but he doesn't want to repay him. He supports his troops in Yunnan and Guizhou, and acts lawlessly and perversely." Xiao Mazi choked up and said, "I think of the extraordinary achievements that preceded him.  For the sake of it, I will endure and bear with him, yield again and again, undress him, push food and food, I am afraid that one day he will be able to rein in the precipice, know his way back, and make a good story with me through the ages. Who would have thought that this  The servant doesn't think of the court's great kindness at all, and I have tolerated him, and I am still secretly recruiting soldiers and buying horses, stockpiling grass and food, I am afraid that sooner or later, I will have the heart of disobedience"

    Crying up to this point, Xiao Mazi was already sobbing, and Oboi patted his chest and said: "Please rest assured, the emperor, it is not a slave boasting, Wu Sangui, the slave has never put it in his eyes! If Wu Sangui obediently listens to your majesty!"  Will, everything is easy to say, if he has the slightest change, the slave can turn him into powder with a gesture of his hand!"

    "If Wu Sangui can obediently obey my will, that would be great." Xiao Mazi smiled bitterly, then took out the memorial of Gan Wenkun and Zhu Guozhi, and said tearfully: "Teacher, please read this again."

    Ao Bai took it, opened it and only took a few glances, the black brows on the two copper bell eyes immediately frowned into a Sichuan character, and said angrily: "You dog slave! These two dog slaves must have suffered  Wu Sangui's benefit is to set the tax rate of Baqi Fushou cream so low, isn't this what it is? "

    "Teacher, you must be clear." Xiao Mazi sobbed: "Last year, the total revenue of our Qing court was less than 24 million taels of silver, and Wu Sangui's income was more than five million taels just from the Eight Banners drug.  Two, plus the military salary of more than three million taels given to him by the imperial court, the annual income is at least nine million taels! There is a lot of discussion in the court, inside and outside the court, because the world belongs to us, and I don¡¯t  I will be jealous of his Wu Sangui's income, and just want to use taxation to weaken his power and make up for the shortfall of the court"

    "It's just, I just didn't expect that this slave would buy the local governor again, set the tax rate so low, and continue to cling to the body of my Qing Dynasty to suck blood and devour the whale"

    "Damn it, who told you, Xiao Mazi, to delegate the power of taxation to local governments, and let Zhu Guozhi, a well-known money-hungry and shameless dog slave, set taxes? Isn't it self-inflicted?" Obai muttered in his heart, but he didn't  It's too embarrassing to criticize it openly, just waiting for Xiao Mazi's next words.  Never thought that Xiao Mazi would just cry and wipe his tears all the time, without saying a word, Aobai had no choice but to ask tentatively: "Then what does the emperor plan to do now?"

    "Before this, I was also worried that the local governor might be arrested.You see that traitor Wu Sangui is getting more and more powerful, more and more disobedient to the court, you have been worrying for a long time, and you have been preparing for the war in secret, it is only because of me that you, the grand master, are not willing to personally  Go out and wipe out Wu Sangui, that disobedient traitor  "

    "No, the slave never meant that." Obai was both angry and funny, and comforted him: "Your Majesty, the slave is secretly preparing for war just in case, if possible, it's better not to fight."

    "Grand Master, you lied to me." Xiao Mazi raised his head, stared at Oboi with tears in his eyes and said, "If Grand Master is still not at ease, then I can swear to the sky in front of Grand Master now, and I will be big to you."  The ancestors of the Qing Dynasty and the late emperor swore in the spirit of heaven, if I do anything wrong to the Grand Master during your expedition to Yunnan and Guizhou, then I will die by the sword, my bones will be crushed, and I will never be reborn!"

    "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood, you have misunderstood." Oboi said anxiously, "Your Majesty, slaves can also swear to Tianming"

    "No! I won't listen! I won't listen!" Xiao Mazi cried and interrupted, and buried his pockmarked face in Oboi's arms, weeping bitterly: "Teacher, I beg you, for the sake of the country and society of the Qing Dynasty, for the great  The ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, also for the sake of my deceased emperor, get rid of Wu Sangui, the traitor king for me! In the future, if there is no grand master, what will I use to quell San Francisco and cut off that traitor Wu Sangui?  King? Grand Master, I beg you, I beg you, my ancestors from the Qing Dynasty, and the former emperor who entrusted me to you, please"

    For Obai with a straightforward personality, Xiao Mazi's father Shunzhi, who had saved his life several times under Dorgon's knife, is undoubtedly his biggest weakness¡ªafter all, Obai's surname is Guarjia, not Aixinjueluo  , Obai still has a little conscience.  But Xiao Mazi pulled Shunzhi out at every turn and begged Ao Bai, and Ao Bai couldn't help but start to waver.

    After thinking for a long time, Oboi straightened Xiao Mazi who was crying bitterly, stared into Xiao Mazi's eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, you have decided, do you really plan to use force to eradicate Wu Sangui?"

    Xiao Mazi nodded solemnly, and said with tears in his eyes: "I have made up my mind, Wu Sangui's treacherous king will not be eradicated for a day, and the Qing Dynasty will never have peace. Not only will it cost a lot, but I will ask the grand master to eradicate this treacherous king! Give me back!"  The Qing Dynasty is unified, warn Geng and Shang the two vassals!"

    Speaking of this, Xiao Mazi hugged Oboi's arm fiercely again, and begged: "Grand Master, for the sake of the country and the country of the Qing Dynasty, you promise me! After eradicating Wu Sangui, I will go to the Taimiao to offer incense and tell the world  Grand Master, you are the prince! Grand Master, if you are willing to stay in the capital, I will hand over all the government affairs to you. If you think of other places, Grand Master, I will grant you Yunnan and Guizhou together as your fiefdom! Grand Master, are you  Manchus, like me, are bleeding from Manchurians, I believe in you"

    "The slaves don't dare to count on being crowned king." Obai said helplessly, "Since the emperor insists that Wu Sangui is so dangerous, then the emperor please do as you want, and the slaves will fully support it."

    Speaking of this, Oboi sighed secretly again, thinking: "For the sake of the late emperor, let's wipe this kid's butt again. If this kid can really do what he says, then go to Yunnan to be an idle prince  , is better than being in a stalemate with this kid in the capital, trembling and precarious. Alas, the late emperor, if you know the spirit in heaven, you should understand that this servant has really tried his best."

    "Grand Master!" Xiao Mazi shouted joyfully, and threw himself into Oboi's arms again, weeping excitedly on Oboi's broad chest, thinking in his heart, "In case of emergency, it's better to increase the tax this time."  The Dao decree writes the name of Oboi, if Wu Sangui wins, this old bastard can be pushed out as a substitute for the dead ghost, to vent his anger on the old bastard Wu Sangui."

    By the way, Xiao Mazi's oath this time was basically fulfilled in the end, only the ashes of his bones were not fulfilled-because his ashes were mixed into clay by a certain evil, and burned into a toilet, specially placed in the mite.  In the memorial hall of the Qing Dynasty massacre, it is for future generations to vent.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 147 Drug War

    ?

    (ps: The double monthly pass will end in only one day, friends please check the bottom of the box again to see if you can spare a few tickets for the pure and honest wolf?)

    With Aobai's support, all Xiao Mazi's worries finally dissipated, so, under Xiao Mazi's direct instruction, there was a sudden wave of impeachment against the Eight Banners' drug tax quota  , the six ministries and nine officials in the capital, the head of the minister, the inspector of science and technology, the official censor, and the supervisor of the Imperial Academy all scrambled to hand over the memorial, and all of them impeached the local governor of Yunnan and Guizhou for allegedly engaging in fraud and fraud for private interests in deciding the tax amount of the Eight Banners Fushou Gao.  What's more, they simply pointed the finger at the Eight Banners drug plantation owners in Yunnan, accusing them of bribing local officials by all means for personal gain, tax evasion, and tax evasion.

    The old cat and the criminal dog wear the shackles, our poor Lu Yifeng Lu Sanhao Lu Fatty, because he holds the only Qujing Mansion in Yunnan that allows the private cultivation of Eight Banners medicines, so he is also innocently the target of this impeachment, and it is still the main target¡ª¡ª  ¡ªDo the vast majority of officials dare to directly impeach Wu Sangui for bribing local governors for tax evasion?

    Although Fatty Lu's few conscientious friends such as Wang Xu and Jackie Chan and other Beijing officials argued with reason, pointing out that the possibility of Fatty Lu bribing Shangguans to help poor people evade taxes is almost zero, but Fatty Lu still  Breaking a personal precedent of his own, being impeached for the first time by a group of censors who are full of food and nothing to do, and being slandered and slandered by a group of people in the Qing court for the first time - Fatty Lu can swear by his conscience that he  I was really slandered and slandered once.

    Xiao Mazi is definitely a smart pockmark. In history, before he was about to attack Oboi, there was no word about it. He suddenly killed Oboi by surprise, so that after he captured Oboi, many officials in Beijing were shocked.  I couldn't believe my ears, and suspected that I had heard the wrong news.  But soldiers are unpredictable, and water is impermanent. This time, because of the absolute support of Oboi to attack Wu Sangui, and because Oboi's attitude is not firm and resolute enough, Xiao Mazi naturally had to let the wind out in advance to create public pressure and force  Aoboi started - didn't you, old man Ao, pretend to clear the pillars for me?  Now is the time when I need you, do you still want to shrink and hide?  dream!

    So, under Xiao Mazi's direct instigation and secret instigation, the impeachment of the Eight Banners' drug tax was too low and the memorials for re-ruling and re-taxation naturally flew all over the sky, flying into the cabinet's study room like snowflakes, and flew to hold Oboi in his hand.  In front of them, it was as if most of the civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty had suddenly been bewitched by evil spirits, and they were just making a big fuss about the taxation of the Eight Banners drug products, forcing Oboi and Xiao Mazi to re-rule the tax amount and impose heavy taxes again.  .

    Xiao Mazi's little trick, of course, cannot be hidden from the eyes of the old fox Oboi, who has experienced a lot of troubles, but considering that if he wants to re-rule the tax amount of the Eight Banners drug products, he must rely on the pressure of public opinion to create a teacher, so Oboi has no choice but to pretend  I don¡¯t know this trick, but I just selected many memorials impeaching Wu Sangui for bribing the local governor for tax evasion, withholding official positions and names and re-transcribing several copies, and then sending them to Wu Sangui, Gan Wenkun, Zhu Guozhi and others through the post station, asking them to  Write a defense to prove your innocence, thereby knocking mountains and shaking tigers, and laying the foundation for the next step.

    Limited by the speed limit of news dissemination, the turn of public opinion in the capital and the pressure exerted by Aobai and Xiao Mazi, it will naturally not spread to Yunnan in a short while, but Wu Yingxiong, the eldest son of Wu Sangui who was a hostage in Beijing, sniffed out the news immediately.  The situation was not right, so he hurriedly used a faster secret channel to report to Yunnan, and then secretly came to the Ao Mansion to ask for an interview, and accused Aobai of his treachery in person.

    "Master Ao, isn't it a bit too much for you to do this?" As soon as we met, Wu Yingxiong asked Aobai with a livid face: "Since the secret alliance in the eighth year of Kangxi, our Pingxi Palace has never done a single thing  I'm sorry about your matter, and I don't know how much I have helped you in the open and in the dark. Even the emperor's secret plan against you, which we found out with great difficulty, we provided it to you without reservation, and we have done our utmost to you.  Now, are you going to repay your friend like this?"

    Oboi, who was wronged, was silent, and he said after a long while: "It has nothing to do with the truth, it was decided by the civil and military officials themselves, although there may be orders and acquiescence from the emperor, but the truth can swear to the sky, there is absolutely no one on your own."  Come forward and order an official to do that."

    "Then Prime Minister Ao, can't you come forward to suppress it?" Wu Yingxiong said under pressure: "As long as you come forward and punish the officials who took the lead in making trouble, how dare the other side of the wall be so rampant? Now, Prime Minister, not only do you not  To put it bluntly, sending the copy to Yunnan and Guizhou is not encouraging them to do so in disguise, right?"

    Aobai was speechless again, and after a long while he said again: "As for the ruling on the tax amount of the Eight Banners drug and longevity cream, you did it yourself, and you knew it in your own hearts.?, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I know this man. When my father was casting the Hongyi cannon with Sun Yuanhua in Dengzhou, this Dai Cang participated in the casting. I heard that he did a good job. Sun Yuanhua praised him very much.  .So the servant's father also searched for this person everywhere after he entered the customs, planning to take him for his own use, but unfortunately he couldn't find him."

    "Really?" Xiao Mazi was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "Then let the dead horse be treated as a living horse doctor, Xiong Aiqing, and you make another decree for Fan Chengmo, asking him to send this Dai Cang to Beijing, to Longtan  Working in the gun factory."

    "Observe the order." Xiong Cilu respectfully agreed, and then said: "Your Majesty, Fan Zhongcheng also mentioned in the memorial that Dai Cang had a son named Dai Zi who was influenced by his father and was also proficient in firearms. He made very exquisite firecrackers and fireworks.  There is a lot of talent in the south of the Yangtze River, do you want to introduce him to Beijing as well?"

    "Does that matter?" Xiao Mazi said viciously: "As long as it can destroy that bastard Wu Sangui, no matter what kind of talents, I can use them eclecticly, and let Dai Cang, Dai Zi and his son come to Beijing together!"

 Chapter 148

    ?

    (ps: There are only a few hours left for the double monthly pass, friends please look at the bottom of the box again, a monthly pass is nothing to the great gods, but to the pure wolf, it is related to a ranking  .)

    In the Qing court, rumors about Wu Sangui's peace with the West Prince's Mansion suddenly became more intense, and Obai even issued a declaration of war in disguise.  The local officials' bedside desks also aroused various reactions and repercussions.

    Seeing these news, most of the members of the Pingxi Palace were of course furious and swearing - it's fine to raise the tax of Baqi Fushou Gao to every two or eight dollars, and the Pingxi Palace has to hand over the seeds for trial planting in provinces all over the world.  Isn't this trying to completely cut off the most important source of income for Pingxi Palace?  Therefore, most of the Prince Pingxi's unanimous opinion is one opinion, don't pay it, resolutely don't pay it!  Not only can't pay the Hades tax, but the seeds can't be paid!  If you hand it over, the Pingxi Palace will be completely over!

    There are also a small number of people who are worried because they know that because of this matter, Obai has already secretly threatened the Pingxi Palace with war. If this matter is not handled properly, wars and wars are inevitable.  It is inevitable to fight to the death with the Qing court.  At that time, Mite Qing will have the power of the whole country, as well as a veteran general like Aobai who can recruit and fight well.  However, the Pingxi Palace only basically controls Yunnan and Guizhou, the two poorest and most sparsely populated provinces in the country, and their strengths are not comparable at all. It is almost clear at a glance who wins and who loses.

    Of course, where there is sorrow, there is joy. In the Pingxi Palace, there are still quite a few people who are secretly happy about this, and they are even ecstatic. The most typical representative of them is undoubtedly our number one scourge of the Qing Dynasty, Fatty Lu  Lu Yifeng, the prefect of Qujing, has three words.

    Relying on the fact that he has a good teacher who is highly valued in the Pingxi Palace and has inextricable connections with many dignitaries in the Pingxi Palace, Fatty Lu, who is only a magistrate, is even ahead of Governor Gan Wenkun and Governor Zhu Guozhi.  Upon hearing these news, at the same time, Wu Sangui ordered Fatty Lu to return to Kunming as soon as possible¡ªWu Sangui also paid more and more attention to Fatty Lu, a non-staff member of the Pingxi Palace think tank.  Fatty Lu couldn't help cheering after receiving these news and analyzing and inferring them together.

    "It's done! It's finally done! The court is determined to deal with the prince!" Even in front of Chen Dou and Zhu Fangdan, Fatty Lu, who was overjoyed, couldn't hide his yelling, "This time, the prince just doesn't want to fight against you!"  It has to be reversed! Xinghan's plan to destroy Manchu is finally about to take the first step!"

    Fatty Lu finally showed his sharp fangs in front of his face. Chen Dou, who knew this well already, of course smiled and remained silent, and Zhu Fangdan, who had been subtly and completely brainwashed by Fatty Lu for the past four years, was also mentally prepared.  Not surprised by the employer's anti-Qing and Ming-ming ambitions.  It wasn't until Fatty Lu was almost dancing, that Chen Dou asked worriedly: "My lord, are you sure that the prince will rebel this time? Will he not be wronged again? Let it go?"

    "It's a deal!" Fatty Lu slapped the table and shouted, "If it's just a tax increase, one tael of Eight Banners Drugs will be taxed at eight qian, and for the sake of the huge profits of Eight Banners Drugs, the prince may continue  Let it go, let¡¯s make it right! But this time, the court not only wants to impose heavy taxes, but also asks the prince to pay tribute to the seeds of the Eight Banners Fushou Gao for trial planting in all parts of the country.  The previous passive situation where money and food cannot be self-sufficient! Even if the prince agrees, the civil and military officials of the Pingxi Palace and the people of Yunnan will not agree!"

    "In this way, Master Futai's last guess is true." Chen Dou pondered: "In the court, there are also people who want to completely rebel against the prince, otherwise, they would not come to touch the biggest rebel scale of the prince.  But, who is this person? Is it Oboi, or the emperor?"

    "It doesn't matter who it is." Fatty Lu rubbed his fat hands and said excitedly: "The important thing is that the court has made up its mind to do something to the prince this time. Even if the prince doesn't want to do it, he has to do it!"

    "Master Futai, you seem to be dazzled by the victory?" Chen Dou said bluntly: "On the contrary, the lower officials think this is very important.  Only when the primary enemy is dead, can we distinguish between primary and secondary, and find secondary enemies that can be used and won over, so that we will not be used and deceived by the real enemy."

    "Master Chen is right." Zhu Fangdan nodded, and echoed: "Although the student is not very good at this aspect, he also knows that in a big war, every time you win an enemy for your own use, you can not only reduce the number of enemies, but also increase your own strength."  With a bit of strength, Manren relied on this trick to gain control of the Central Plains and steal my great artifact."

    "Master Chen and Master Zhu have taught you well, I am??Thought he forgot how to walk this way!  If I get angry with Lao Tzu, my granddaughter will not give it to him!  "

    Curse to curse, but the anxious old traitor Wu still did not hold Fatty Lu accountable, but hastily put on the royal clothes, and surrounded by Lu Xia and other guards, he came all the way to Yin'an Hall, which is the core of Pingxi Palace.  But after entering the Yin'an Hall, Wu Sangui's nose was almost crooked. For some reason, there was a charcoal stove next to Fatty Lu. Next to the charcoal stove, there was an iron pot with a cover and a small wooden barrel.  .  Wu Sangui couldn't help roaring angrily: "Bastard, who moved these things into the Gu's main hall? Are you going to cook or cook in the Gu's Yin'an Hall?"

    "My lord, I'm a death penalty for being humble." Fatty Lu hurriedly bowed, and said respectfully, "These things are all found by the guards of the hall, and have nothing to do with others.

    "Bold!" The old man Wu roared in anger, "Lu Yifeng, relying on my king's favor, you are doing things more and more outrageously. I ordered you to return to Wuhua Mountain as soon as possible several times before, but you were nowhere to be seen. This time  After finally coming back, and tinkering with these things in this king¡¯s Yin¡¯an Palace, what are you planning to do?¡±

    "Death penalty for humble duty." Fatty Lu showed no signs of fear, but said seriously: "My lord, the thing is like this. I heard that you have not been able to eat well or sleep well recently, so I specially brought some special products from Qujing, and I am going here  Cook a famous dish for the prince, and after the prince has used it, his appetite will be greatly improved, and all the troubles will be relieved."

    "Nonsense!" The old man Wu's anger subsided a little, and he asked again: "Then what are you going to cook?"

    "This dish is very novel, please allow me to cook it right away, so that I can open my eyes." Fatty Lu said respectfully.

    The old man Wu was confused, but for the sake of Fatty Lu's seriousness, he finally nodded and agreed with Fatty Lu to cook in the palace. Fatty Lu also quickly put the iron pot on the charcoal stove, and brought up the  Wooden barrel, pour the contents of the barrel into the pot together with clear water, and finally put a piece of tofu into the pot.  Old Man Wu approached curiously, and saw that besides the tofu that Fatty Lu had just put in the pot, there were actually a few live loaches wandering happily in the pot.

    "I thought you were doing something." The old man Wu laughed dumbfoundedly, raised his leg and kicked Fatty Lu's fat buttocks, and said with a smile: "What novelty dish, isn't it just loach and tofu? Not only did I eat it, but  When I was in Phi Island, I even made it myself!"

    "Oh, so the lord has eaten it." Fatty Lu was not surprised, and asked again: "Then I dare to ask the lord, how did this live loach get into the tofu at the end?"

    "It goes without saying that the water is hot, but the tofu is cold. The loach can't stand the heat, so of course it has to get into the tofu." The old traitor Wu replied angrily.

    "Then I would like to ask my lord, since the tofu is cold and the loach gets in, why is it still cooked in the end? It becomes people's food on the plate, food in the mouth?" Fatty Lu asked again.

    "Are you getting more and more outrageous, kid? I told you to come back because I have something important to discuss with you. What are you and this king doing?" Old Wu Wu became angry again, and shouted: "When the water boils, the tofu  It¡¯s also hot, wouldn¡¯t it burn the loach in the tofu to death?! Have you finished the ghost tricks yet? When you¡¯re done, hurry up and take all these things away from me!¡±

    "My lord, since you understand this truth" Fatty Lu said unhurriedly, "Then why do you still want to drill into tofu, my lord?"

    Hearing this, Old Traitor Wu froze, and immediately understood Fatty Lu's real intention.  At this time, Hu Guozhu, Liu Xuanchu and the others also came up together, bowed down to the old traitor Wu, and asked in unison: "My lord, since you understand this truth, why do you want to dig into tofu?"

    A pair of jackal green eyes stared at the iron pot, and at the few loaches swimming happily. Old Traitor Wu's face turned green and then white, until the loaches couldn't bear the heat and began to squeeze into the tofu.  Only then did the old traitor Wu command in a hoarse voice: "Remember, from today on, I will cook this dish for this king for every meal!"

    "Your Majesty is holy!" Fatty Lu and the others were overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed and shouted together.  In the end, Fatty Lu pretended to plead guilty again: "My lord, the matter is urgent. In order to persuade my lord, I have the audacity to compare my dragon body to a loach. I hope my lord will forgive me. Don't take it to heart."

    "No way!" The old man Wu waved his hand, categorically refused, and then pointed to the iron pot and said with a wicked smile: "Don't think that this king can't see it, you just let them spit out the mud and sand in order to punish you.  This king compares it to being a loach for the crime of disrespect, and this king punishes you to eat this dish alone!"

    "My lord, please forgive me! The lowly job came in a hurry and was not well prepared, and I didn't even put the ingredients¡ª!"

    "Bastard, then you still said that you want to invite me to use this dish? Since you made this dish yourself, then you can eat it yourself!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 149: Loyalty and Sangui

    ?

    The winter days are short, and after tossing around in the Yin'an Palace for a while, the sky is getting dark, and seeing that the people who should be there have already arrived, Wu Sangui is already in a good mood, so he simply asks someone to set up a banquet in the Anfu Garden on the west side of the Pingxi Palace.  Treat some of the most important confidant lackeys, and carefully discuss with them the countermeasures to deal with the aggressive policies of the Qing court.

    TOEFL's pen that left hatred in later generations, let us remember all the participants of this banquet. Of course, Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, the big thief, was at the top of the list.  Liu Xuanchu, Fang Guangchen, Wang Shirong, and Lu Yifeng, Fatty Lu, who was hailed as the number one scourge of the Qing Dynasty with his eyes spitting fire and teeth bleeding from the hatred of mite survivors.  In addition, to everyone's surprise, Wu Yingqi, Wu Sangui's famous idiot son, was among them. Wu Sangui originally didn't intend to let him participate in this meeting, but he insisted on coming.  He's just making up for it.

    A dazzling array of sumptuous food and drinks were served, all the servants were driven away, and the most loyal and reliable guards were arranged to guard the doors, windows, and corridors of the room. Finally, Wu Sangui, the old traitor Wu, invited everyone to sit down¡ªof course, it belongs to the Pingxi Palace to be precise.  Fatty Lu, from the second generation to the third generation, naturally sat at the last table, and also shouldered the task of pouring wine for all the seniors.

    There was indeed a dish of loach and tofu at the banquet, and it was directly placed in front of old traitor Wu. After drinking for three rounds, looking at this famous dish that Fatty Lu used to warn and remind himself, old traitor Wu was filled with emotion.  I couldn't help but tapped the soup bowl containing this dish with chopsticks, and sighed: "It's destined to be so, this king has been hiding and running away all these years, but he is in the cauldron, hiding and running, no matter how much he makes  If you don¡¯t make any concessions, you still cannot avoid the bad luck of being surrounded by raging fire and boiling soup, and you will inevitably be treated as a dish on the plate and a meal in your mouth.¡±

    "Father-in-law, we still have one last chance." Hu Guozhu gritted his teeth and said word by word: "As long as you jump out of this cauldron, or simply smash this cauldron, father-in-law will be like a dragon with golden scales, three mountains and five mountains, and five lakes and four seas."  , You are allowed to travel between heaven and earth."

    "What General Jinwu said is absolutely true." Liu Xuanchu took over the conversation, and said firmly: "As long as the prince is determined to smash this cauldron, no one in the world can restrain the prince! You have three good explosives, and the tartars are full of dogs!"  Do you have rockets that can blow thousands of troops into powder, my lord? Do you have an airship that can soar into the sky and spread its wings? Do you have a man of dogs? Your lord, you have the soldiers of Pingxi Palace  , Ruyun fierce general, Xiaoyu counselor, are there any Tartars full of dogs? Your lord, you have such a powerful strength, why do you want to live under others and be bullied by others?"

    "My lord, go against it!" Fang Guangchen was even more direct, shouting: "Overthrew the Manchus and expelled the Tartars, you are my Chinese hero, the hero of the Han people, the new generation of Tang Zong and Song Zu!"

    "Father, we bought Yunnan and Guizhou with our blood and our lives!" Wu Yingqi also roared, "Tartars and dogs dare to cut off our Pingxi Palace's wealth today, and tomorrow they dare to take our vassal land, instead of sitting and waiting  If you die, it¡¯s better to take a fight, take the whole world into our Wu family¡¯s hands, and kill all those wolf-hearted, heartless and ruthless dogs!¡±

    Under everyone's expectant eyes, Old Man Wu's treacherous expression was calm, and he said slowly after a long time: "For twenty-six years, this king has been born and died for the Manchu Qing Dynasty.  Calendar, to prove loyalty. Originally, I wanted to seek glory and glory for a lifetime, to be a loyal minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, to town Yunnan and Guizhou for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and to achieve a good story with the Lord. However, what this king never expected was that in the end,  What I paid for my loyalty was the Manchu court¡¯s pressure every step of the way. Every time I make a concession, they will go one step further, until they push me to the edge of a cliff"

    Speaking of this, the old traitor Wu suddenly raised his voice, slapped the table and shouted: "This time, this king will never back down! He is not threatening this king, if he does not follow him, he will kill him!"  Is the Pingxi Palace completely eradicated? Let him come, Gu will not believe it, Gu now has so many advanced firearms in his hand, and there are so many loyal ministers and generals, how can he not beat him?!"

    "My lord, my lord! My lord, my lord! My lord, my lord! My lord, my lord, my lord! My lord, my lord, my lord, my lord, my lord, my lord!"

    "Everyone, please rise up." The old man Wu was so high-spirited once in a while, he waved his hands and said, "Get up, all of you, repay me with the soldiers of the country, and this king will naturally reward you with the soldiers of the country.  day!"

    "Thank you, my lord!" Hu Guozhu, Fatty Lu and the others agreed neatly and got up together.  Wu Sangui greeted again: "Sit down, tell me, what should I do next?"

    "Father-in-law, please bring back the eldest son and the king as soon as possible."?The king of Ningjing Zhu Shugui over there is only in charge of the country and has not proclaimed himself emperor. There is no conflict with us in name, so this plan can be considered.  "

    "Father, why don't you speak? Am I the third prince Zhu?" Wu Yingqi asked anxiously for the third time.

    "Aren't you, let me think about it." Old traitor Wu said hesitantly: "This is too big a matter, I have to think carefully before making a decision."

    "Father, what are you talking about?" Wu Yingqi yelled aggrievedly, "Whether I am your own son or not, you still have to think about it before deciding?"

    "Do you think the Third Prince Zhu doesn't matter? Anyway, I gave you this good idea. If you don't use it, it will be your loss." Fatty Lu muttered in his heart: "It doesn't matter if you don't use it. The big deal is when I have the strength to be independent  In the future, I will make your son the third prince of Zhu with my own hands, so that my notoriety of relying on traitors will also become a good name."

 Chapter 150 Loyalty and Bravery

    ?

    (ps: It will be Monday in a few hours, please recommend tickets and monthly tickets for next week.)

    The benefits of Fatty Lu's immoral idea are obvious. As soon as this plan is implemented, the old traitor Wu will immediately change from a national scum to a national hero, from a traitor to Ming Zhongliang, and Biao Zipo's reputation for killing Yongli will immediately become a traitor who cut off the throne and usurped the throne.  The good name of the king, the heart of the world, will last forever.

    At that time, the old and young of the former Ming Dynasty all over the world will no longer hate the old traitor Wu, but will only worship the old traitor Wu as an idol, and will do their best to help the traitor Wu rise up in rebellion, overthrow the mite Qing, and kill Man Gou.  As long as a literati with a little bit of backbone, they will immediately stop criticizing old traitor Wu, and instead sing praises, push old traitor Wu to the altar, and encourage every Han who still has a bit of backbone to stand up and help old traitor Wu expel  The Tartars, recover China.  Even within the Qing court, there must be many people who will face up to this honor and look at old traitor Wu with admiration.

    The benefits are countless, but the bad consequences that follow are also countless. First of all, the aftermath problem is enough to make old Wu a traitor with three big heads. The youngest son becomes the emperor in name only. What about the eldest son?  Even if we learn from Cao Cao and pass the power to the elder son, let the younger son be the emperor of the Han Dynasty, one in power and the other enjoying the fame, but what should these two bastards fight for power and profit?  Even if their brotherhood is deep, Wu Yingqi changed his name to Wu Qihua and became a monk in order not to fight for power with Wu Yingxiong. This generation will not cause internal strife, and who can guarantee that their son will not make trouble in the next generation?  Moreover, Wu Yingqi himself was considered a rare fierce general, and if he was pushed to the position of Zhu's third prince, he would naturally not be able to lead the army to fight. Didn't the old traitor Wu just cut off an arm for no reason?

    Some people must ask, why is the old traitor Wu so embarrassing, and it¡¯s enough to catch another unlucky guy to play the role of the third prince Zhu. By then, the idol¡¯s flagpole trick is over, and everything will end if he cuts it off with a knife?  And in history, the old Wu traitor actually did the same thing. He also claimed that the Emperor Chongzhen entrusted himself to himself and stabbed his ass as a record in the call to action, but the common people and literati didn¡¯t believe it. Anyone who picked up manure from farming would be the third prince Zhu.  How many third princes Zhu are there in this world?

    In contrast, Fatty Lu's tricks are much more sinister and sinister. The fabricated orphan of the Zhu family not only comes alive, but also pushes the traitorous personality of old Wu to the altar, exaggerating a period of loyal ministers who feel wronged.  The emotional drama of tears, bearing the burden of humiliation, helping the orphans and serving the country shamelessly concealed the fact and infamy of the old traitor Wu who brutally murdered Yongli-the throne of the Ming Dynasty should belong to the third prince Zhu, and you Yongli dared to rebel and usurp the throne.  The former emperor's entrusted minister, if you don't kill your family, who will you kill?

    With the rendering of sadness, the image of old man Wu's loyal minister who exchanged his son under the knife comes alive on the paper, and then Wu Yingqi is introduced as the third prince Zhu, and Wu Sangui kowtows to his son. Can people in the world not believe it?  If you don't believe me, then please show evidence to prove that I am lying!

    On the one hand, there is the temptation to return to the world, and on the other hand, the helplessness of being unable to deal with the aftermath. The old traitor Wu, who has always been indecisive, is of course full of doubts and hesitant, but he dare not discuss it with his wife, Mrs. Zhang.  Coupled with the unpredictable future of his determination to fight against the Qing, this made the traitor Wu even more worried, tossing and turning, and ended up staying up all night. The next day, with bloodshot eyes, he went to Yin'an Hall to hold a meeting in the Pingxi Palace.

    Because he had already made up his mind to fight against the Qing the night before, and he had prepared a strategy for the battle. At this conference attended by more than a hundred dignitaries from the Pingxi Palace, the old traitor Wu directly announced his response to the taxation of the Eight Banners drug and longevity cream.  Strategies¡ªNever accept the new ruling of the Eight Banners drug tax amount by the Qing court, let alone pay tribute to the Qing court for seeds!

    At the same time, Wu Sangui falsely announced that he would present himself to the Qing court, asking the Qing court to fulfill its previous promise to exempt the Eight Banners from tax forever, and asking the Qing court to punish the chief assistant Aobai who presided over the heavy taxation, and decreed to get rid of Yunnan and Guizhou.  In addition, other provinces are not allowed to plant Eight Banners Fushou Gao!

    The eyes are black, and the silver is white. Facing the temptation to monopolize the huge profits of the Eight Banners drug products, the whole Pingxi palace cheered loudly. They all expressed their support for the wise decision of the traitor Wu, and vowed to defend the Eight Banners drug products in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces to the death.  exclusive planting rights!

    Taking advantage of this momentum, the old traitor Wu solemnly announced that all the children of the Pingxi Prince's Mansion who are over 16 years old and under 50 years old are required to register in the establishment from today, receive military training, and prepare to use force to meet the treacherous officials in the court.  The preparation for provocation will let those treacherous officials and thieves in the court know that our Pingxi Palace is definitely not easy to bully!  Under the lure of huge profits from drugs, the vassals of Pingxi Palace naturally agreed!

    Immediately afterwards, the old traitor Wu issued several orders one after another. One was to let his son-in-law Xia Guoxiang take over the Kunming city defense, and Hu Guozhu took over the Wuhuashan garrison;??The production is slow because it takes time to shape the charge and make the mold, so only more than 4,000 pieces have been produced until now.  Now that the preparatory work has been done, our cotton bombs and detonators are very clear, as long as the four battalions operate at full capacity, I believe that within three months, we will be able to provide grandfather with more than 20,000 grenades.  "

    Fatty Lu asked the old traitor Wu for a grenade. He really didn't mean to suddenly stab the old traitor Wu on the battlefield, but the Qujing Green Camp had never seen blood, and it would not be of much use without advanced weapons on the battlefield. Now Lu  If Fatty doesn't seize the time to make some fame and credits in the first battle between Wu Sangui and Miqing, there will be no advanced weapons in the future, or when the logistics in the northern battlefield are difficult, the advanced weapons will not be as good as Lu Fatty  portion.

    Fatty Lu begged so earnestly, and since Fatty Lu made the grenade for old traitor Wu, old traitor Wu was too embarrassed to refuse, so after thinking about it for a while, old traitor Wu reluctantly said: "Then how about this?"  I will give you 3,000 grenades and one of two bronze cannons. As for the other weapons, we will wait and see how the Qujing Green Battalion performs on the battlefield. If they fight well, I will of course treat this army as the main force.  .¡±

    "Thank you, grandfather." Fatty Lu was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted to thank you. At the end, Fatty Lu looked at the faces of old traitor Wu and Hu Guozhu, and said hesitantly: "Grandfather, uncle, I have one more thing to ask you, I don't know if I can do it."  Can't speak."

    "Why are you being polite? Tell me." The old traitor Wu waved his hand generously on the surface, but he muttered in his heart: "If you want to get more weapons, then you don't need to talk about it. I don't want to hand over the advanced weapons that cost a lot of money to  A third-rate army that has never been to the battlefield, what is it if it is not a waste of money?"

    "It's a little personal matter." Fatty Lu said rather coyly: "Grandfather, uncle, to be honest, our Lu family is thin, and my generation has been passed down by three generations.  A son who doesn't even have a daughter, who loves him like a heart, with fear on his head, fear of melting with his mouth in his mouth"

    "Then what do you want?" Hu Guozhu asked calmly.

    "Back to uncle, nephew and son-in-law are determined to join the army and fight for grandfather this time. They are not afraid of anything else but this son." Fatty Lu said coyly, "So grandson-in-law is taking the liberty to let his wife and son live for five years.  Come to Huashan, please take care of the two concubines, even if something happens to your son-in-law in the future, you will have no worries."

    "Oh, so that's the case." The old man Wu said casually: "So I let you stay at the back, isn't it just for you to consider this point?"

    "No, grandson-in-law will never stay in the rear!" Fatty Lu hurriedly said impassionedly: "Son-son-law is determined to assist grandfather in rejuvenating the Han Dynasty and destroying the Manchus and expel the Tartars. Grandfather led the army to fight, so why should grandson-in-law hide in the rear and enjoy the blessing?  The son-in-law wants nothing else but to leave a root for the old Lu family, so that the son-in-law can charge forward for his grandfather without any worries, and kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds."

    "Well, since you have such ambition, then grandfather can't stop your ambition." Old man Wu sighed hypocritically, and said, "Then send your wife and children to Mount Wuhua, so that you won't have to worry about the future.  .¡±

    Sighing back to sighing, when he and Hu Guozhu looked at each other quietly, the old man Wu's eyes were naturally full of unconcealable joy.  Hu Guozhu over there took the opportunity to suggest: "Father-in-law, let Yifeng and Xiaotu's niece formally engage today. Anyway, Yifeng's teacher, Mr. Mao Xia, is in Wuhua Mountain. He will be a teacher for a day and a father for life. Let Mao Xia  As the elder of the man's side, sir, make sure of this good marriage. When Xiao Gege and Yifeng's children from Pingnan Palace come to Wuhua Mountain, they can also be with Xiaotu as company."

    "Success, that's it." Wu Sangui smiled, pointed to Fatty Lu and said: "Yifeng, hurry up and invite your master, Mr. Maoya, and we will formally book your marriage with Xiaotu today."

    "Thank you grandfather, thank you uncle." Fatty Lu thanked him with a rare blushing sincerity, and hurriedly turned around and went out to invite Liu Xuanchu to discuss the marriage with him, and sighed in his heart: "Finally, I have settled my mind, and the next step is to find a way  Let Wanxi be the emissary of old traitor Wu, to persuade Shang Kexi that old traitor also rise up against the Qing, no matter how successful this is, I will really let go and do it without any worries."

    Sighing, the loud laughter from behind made Fatty Lu almost stumble

    "Hahahaha, Yifeng has become my grandson-in-law, and the son-in-law of Shang Kexi, old man. This time, Shang Kexi's old man must be called my uncle! I really want to see the expression on Shang Kexi's face when he hears this news."  What a wonderful expression! Hahahahahaha!" (To be continued.

    (ps: There was a power outage again, the battery forgot to charge the voltage too low, and the computer often shuts down automatically, seriously affecting the thinking and speed, so the number of words is less, please understand and forgive me.)

    Old traitor Wu is quite trustworthy, and he promised Fatty Lu that he would do what he said. On the afternoon of the Pingxi palace meeting, old traitor Wu decided to make his granddaughter Wu Xiaotu and Fatty Lu formally engage in a marriage ceremony, and held a hasty meeting.  It's not too simple a ceremony - but it's a pity that Wu Xiaotu didn't show up because of his shyness, so besides a lot of wolves and hungry tigers from Pingxi Palace, what Fatty Lu saw at the engagement ceremony was the old man Wu Guogui.  His face turned ugly¡ªif he didn't dare to disobey old traitor Wu's orders, no matter how famous and talented Lu Fatty was, Wu Guogui would not be willing to promise his beloved daughter to such a son-in-law who already had a wife and son.

    After the simple ceremony, the old traitor Wu generously paid out of his own pocket, and held a grand banquet to entertain the guests for his granddaughter's engagement ceremony¡ªalthough the old traitor Wu said in the morning that he would give a banquet to the vassals of the Pingxi Palace, this move is very humane  suspected.  When everyone was about to take their seats, Wu Yingqi and Ma Bao, who were ordered to investigate the smuggling case of Eight Banners drug seeds, returned to Wuhua Mountain together.

    "Father, I found out." As soon as he entered the door, Wu Yingqi yelled loudly: "Those bastards have recruited. They were ordered by Zhu Guozhi's Sha Xiangde to smuggle the seeds and plan to transport them to Shanxi and sell them to Fan Yongdou.  Company, one catty of seeds and five catties of gold!"

    "During the interrogation of the confession, Shaxiangde's son of a bitch came to ask for someone, and his words were ugly, so I cut him off with a knife!" Ma Bao roared: "And those bitch sons who dared to poach our corners were also killed by me.  He and the second prince cut off the hands and feet first, then cut off the heads, and hung them all on the Yanglin pass, so that those turtle sons who dare to make up our minds can see what will happen if they poach our corners!"

    "Just kill him, Zhu Baidi wouldn't even dare to fart!" Old Wu snorted coldly, and asked again: "Have you found out the source of the seeds? Is there something wrong?"

    "Yes" Wu Yingqi hesitated for a moment, then turned to Xia Guoxiang next to him and said, "Brother-in-law, you should take care of it. It was your subordinates who did it again. During the autumn harvest this year, he secretly hid five catties of seeds.  They were sold to Sha Xiangde at the price of one catty of seeds and one catty of gold."

    The old traitor Wu didn't speak, but just stared at his son-in-law viciously with eyes like hungry wolves, while Xia Guoxiang's face was pale at first, then livid, and he raised his legs and walked out with a roar, "Father-in-law, wait a moment, son-in-law is going right away!"  Killed his whole family and came back to plead guilty to you!"

    "Humph! You're smart!" Old Han Han snorted coldly, and then ordered: "The order will be passed down. From today on, the search will be strengthened at the gates of Yunnan and Guizhou, and those who pass through with seeds will be killed!"

    "Decree." All the vassals of Pingxi Palace who were present agreed together.  At this time, the guards outside the hall came to report, saying that the governor Zhu Guozhi led the procurator Li Xingyuan and the chief envoy Cui Zhiying to ask for an audience, and explained that the purpose of coming was to pass on the decree.  , all go to the Yin'an Hall, and fuck all the guys out!"

    The generals of the Pingxi Palace suddenly agreed, and rushed to the Yin'an Hall surrounded by old traitor Wu. Because of his special status, Fatty Lu did not enter the hall directly, but entered the back hall alone, peeping at the hall through the crack of the door.  When everyone was ready, the traitor Wu immediately ordered to summon them, and after a while, when Zhu Guozhi, Cui Zhiying, and Li Xingyuan entered the hall, more than a hundred generals of the Pingxi Palace who were present at the scene pulled out together.  Waist knife, there was a lot of choking and choking in the hall.

    Suddenly more than a hundred bright steel knives appeared in front of them. Li Xingyuan and Cui Zhiying were a little bit better, but they were so frightened that their faces were as white as paper, and they were almost ashamed.  The fat all over his body trembled like sifting chaff. If there were no guards from the Pingxi Palace behind him, he would definitely turn around and run away.  In the end, Li Xingyuan, the procurator who vowed not to surrender to Wu Sangui in history, was a little more courageous, and asked courageously, "My lord, the lowly ranks hold the edict and enter the palace to announce the decree. The generals draw their swords and want to go. What do you mean?"

    The old traitor Wu hesitated for a moment, and then roared from the bottom of his heart: "The Daqing River and Mountains were given to the court by the king, Yunnan was earned by the king with blood and life, Wuhua Mountain is the palace of the king, and the subordinates of the king  It's none of your business what you want to do? Don't just draw your sword, just draw your sword to cut people, as long as this king agrees, it's none of your business!"

    "Oops, Wu Sangui must already know the content of the imperial decree!" Li Xingyuan was startled, knowing that Wu Sangui must have known the content of the imperial decree in advance, so he would condone his subordinates' murderous aura.  But when things got to this point, Li Xingyuan had no way out, so he could only wink at Cui Zhiying, asking him to help Zhu Guozhi with him, and took the opportunity to whisper in Zhu Guozhi's ear: "Zhu Zhongcheng, don't be afraid, we justWenkun's problem.  Although Li Benshen, the admiral of Guizhou, is one of our people, Gan Wenkun can't command him at all, but after receiving the news, Gan Wenkun will definitely try to escape from Yunnan and Guizhou. Whether we can capture him alive is really not very sure.  "

    Speaking of this, Liu Xuanchu lowered his voice, and said in a low voice: "If you want to make achievements in the military, you must first convince everyone. The great achievement of capturing Gan Wenkun alive is undoubtedly an ideal Jin Dynasty for you."  This is a great opportunity to build up your prestige. Take advantage of Gan Wenkun's current trust in you, and strive to get this credit first, which will undoubtedly be of great benefit to your future under the lord's account, do you understand?"

    "Student understands, thank you teacher for your guidance." Fatty Lu agreed with understanding, capturing a hard-core traitor at the governor's level alive as soon as the opening opened will naturally be of great benefit to boosting morale and establishing prestige.

    "Hurry up." Liu Xuanchu patted Fatty Lu on the shoulder, and warned: "You must move quickly. The prince has already taken over the defense of Kunming City, and put the governor, feudal and general officials under house arrest. If there is no accident, the prince is likely to be killed today.  At night, they will order the closure of the large and small passes in Yunnan and Guizhou, and if Gan Wenkun receives the news, he will not fall into the trap of himself."

    "Student understands, please rest assured, teacher." Fatty Lu nodded again.

    "Good boy, take care." Liu Xuanchu picked up Fatty Lu, hugged the proud student excitedly, and said emotionally: "Good boy, it is an honor and a pride to be a teacher to have a student like you."  (To be continued.

 Chapter 152

    ?

    Liu Xuanchu suggested that Fatty Lu take Gan Wenkun, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou and a hard-core traitor, to sacrifice the flag to create a good start for Fatty Lu's lofty ambitions and lay a solid foundation for Fatty Lu's ambitious ambitions. It is easy to say, considering that Gan Wenkun basically trusts Fatty Lu  Attitude, it shouldn't be difficult to do it - but after thinking about it on the way back to Qujing, Fatty Lu felt that this matter was quite tricky, and it was definitely not as easy as he imagined.

    It¡¯s not that Fatty Lu wants to continue to perform the good show of the loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty and refuses to do anything to Gan Wenkun. It¡¯s not too difficult to trick Gan Wenkun into Qujing to capture him alive.  Kunming took action, took over the city defense and put the governor of Yunnan, the vassals and Taiwan under house arrest. Immediately, a larger-scale internal cleansing campaign will be carried out to clean up those unreliable civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty and consolidate the direct rule of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.  How could Gan Wenkun fail to hear such a big movement?  How could it be possible to go south at such an urgent moment, and go to Qujing, Yunnan to cast a trap?

    Taking a step back, even if the old traitor Wu has blocked the big and small passes in Yunnan, they are all allowed to enter and not allowed to go out. Even a western election official like Lu Fatty must show the token of the Pingxi Palace to pass through Yanglin Pass and Fenshui Pass.  Blocked the news of Wu Sangui's mutiny, and at the same time Fatty Lu successfully deceived the enemy, Gan Wenkun obediently went south and threw himself into the trap. When he reached the gates of Shengjing and Jiaoshui, the guards of Wu Sangui's army had already taken him down and asked for credit.  Get Fatty Lu to grab the credit?

    In view of these problems, although Fatty Lu coveted the Wu army's first victory in capturing Gan Wenkun alive, he was helpless. Therefore, after returning to Qujing Mansion to introduce the situation in Yunnan to Zhu Fangdan and Chen Dou's confidants, Fatty Lu specially told this  The two bastards talked about Liu Xuanchu's suggestion to take credit for themselves, and asked their opinions to see if they had any good ideas.

    "Master Futai, Mr. Mao Xia's plan is very kind, and it is also the best foundation for you to show your prowess in the military!" After listening to Fatty Lu's introduction, Chen Dou was the first to agree, and said seriously: "Master Futai  , you must be aware that there may be a lack of equipment for the advisers and scribes under the prince's account, but in terms of generals, they are not inferior even to those of the full dog court.  There are countless people who are outstanding. Moreover, they are all veterans who have fought with the prince for many years, warriors who have climbed out of the dead.  The superiors entrust newcomers with important responsibilities."

    "Under such circumstances, if you, my lord, want to make achievements in the military, go further and master more troops, and control the wind and rain alone, then you must compete with the meritorious veterans under the prince's account, and the only one who can win  The opportunity you have is military merit! Only by making unrivaled feats that no one else can match, can you, Mr. Futai, enter the eyes of the prince in the military, and then build prestige, gain the morale of the army, and lay a solid foundation for Mr. Futai's lofty ambitions!"

    After talking endlessly here, Chen Dou paused, and then said: "If not, even if the lord has allowed Master Futai to lead the army alone, and continue to command Master Futai, your team, Qujing Green Camp, he will definitely not  Gaining the prince's trust in the military will suffer a lot in terms of troop replenishment, equipment distribution, and money and food distribution, and there is no chance to show his prominence in the war, and even be used as bait and cannon fodder by the prince."

    "Boss, let's do it." Zhu Fangdan said impatiently: "As long as Gan Wenkun is tricked to Qujing, he will be a turtle in the urn. The student can also prepare some Mongolian sweat medicine for you, and put it in Gan Wenkun's wine and rice. You don't even need to compare knives and guns.  Capture him alive and dedicate it to the prince to show his merits."

    "I understand what Mr. Chen said. Gan Wenkun should still trust me at the moment. As long as conditions permit, it shouldn't be difficult to trick him into Qujing to die." Fatty Lu frowned and said, "But things have come to this point.  Will Gan Wenkun still be fooled? Even if he is fooled again, obediently coming to Qujing to give us credit, this great credit may be cheaper for others?"

    As he said that, Fatty Lu elaborated on the various situations he was worried about, pointing out that in the current situation, even if Gan Wenkun trusted him, he might not have the guts to take another step south and would only go north and escape from Yunnan and Guizhou as soon as possible.  That is, even if Gan Wenkun was tricked into coming to Qujing, other members of Wu Sangui's army would probably be there first on the way and make wedding dresses for others in vain.

    "Master Futai's worry is very reasonable." After listening to Fatty Lu's explanation, Chen Dou also calmed down, and said in deep thought: "As long as Gan Wenkun is not too stupid, after seeing the two edicts issued by Emperor Mazi, he will definitely understand  It is absolutely impossible for the prince to accept the conditions offered by Emperor Mazi. At the same time, Guiyang is located in the north. Even if Gan Wenkun did not see these two imperial edicts, he must have seen the Mangou court¡¯s official report and knew about these two.What I did was to send the Governor-General out of Yunnan to Guangxi!  In addition, my young master also made the young lady and the young master ready, and wanted to ask the governor to take them out of Qujing, out of Yunnan, and send them back to Guangdong, where the young lady was born.  Sir Cen, the local magistrate of Sicheng, and General Yuxuan, Nanning Line, are close friends with my young master. When they arrive in Guangxi, they can immediately ensure your safety, Mr. Governor!  "

    "Oh, that's how it is." Gan Wenkun suddenly realized, and finally understood Fatty Lu's painstaking efforts for him¡ªnow that Wu Sangui has started to attack, Li Benshen, Wu Sangui's running dog in Guizhou, will definitely block all the checkpoints in Guizhou, just like Yunnan,  The hope of escaping Guizhou by myself is extremely slim.  And Wu Sangui probably never dreamed that he would go south instead of north, so as long as he disguised himself as an ordinary person and took these few road guides issued by Qujing Mansion, he would surely be able to easily pass through the Shengjing Pass and the crossroads where the south is not allowed to the north.  Shuiguan, back to Qujing city directly controlled by Fatty Lu.

    Back in Qujing City, I am like the sky high enough to let the birds fly, and the sea to let the fish jump.  Willing to stay and stick to it, Fatty Lu controls the Qujing Green Camp and absolutely obeys his command, relying on the strong city to resist Wu Sangui's army, waiting for the court to rescue.  If he didn't want to stay, he could escape eastward from Qujing to Guangxi, and by the way, he could take away Fatty Lu's wife and children, so as to prevent Fatty Lu from defecting to the enemy, and gain the reputation of saving loyal ministers and orphans.  Moreover, relying on Fatty Lu's popular support in Qujing, he was able to safely send himself out of Qujing under the noses of Wu Sangui's army, with great confidence!

    Thinking of this, Gan Wenkun's eyes couldn't help getting wet, and he sighed: "One peak, three good, the last loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty in Yunnan!"

    "Governor, act quickly!" Xiao Erlang reminded: "If Guiyang City is also controlled by King Pingxi's army, or if King Pingxi's army goes north to Qujing, it will be too late! So, Governor, you must act quickly  I don¡¯t dare to stay here for a long time, so I¡¯m leaving!¡± (To be continued.

    ?

    If it is said that among the governors and governors sent by Xiao Mazi to Yunnan and Guizhou, who is the most hated by old man Wu, then it is definitely not Zhu Guozhi, who is known as the most corrupt official in the Mazi Dynasty, nor is it Lin Tianqing, who got the position of governor of Yunnan by betraying Wu Sangui.  Not Zhao Yanchen and Bian Sanyuan before, but the traitor Zhenglan Banner-Gan Wenkun.

    Ever since Gan Wenkun took office, how much enmity the old traitor Wu has had with him in the open and in the dark, I'm afraid even the two parties involved don't know.  Gan Wenkun excused the implementation of benevolent government and exempted the soldiers and civilians in Yunnan and Guizhou from all the duties owed to Old Traitor Wu. These two items alone caused heavy losses to Old Traitor Wu, a great loss of face, and made Old Traitor Wu¡¯s anger and hatred towards Gan Wenkun to the extreme  .

    It is also because of this that after this time he decided to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty, in addition to ordering Li Benshen, Wang Yongqing, Cui Shilu and other Guizhou military generals to block the passes of Guizhou, the old traitor Wu also sent his own general Li Kaixian to lead 500 cavalry to go northward and attack.  Guiyang arrested Gan Wenkun and repeatedly emphasized that he must live!

    Fortunately, in the original history, Gan Wenkun escaped from Guiyang in advance because he received the news first, and fled to Zhenyuan before he was surrounded by Zhang Jijian, the prefect of Zhenyuan, and Jiang Yi, the commander-in-chief, and was forced to commit suicide.  The old man's claws - that is absolutely life is worse than death, which also caused the old man Wu to be furious, and Li Kaixian, who was not doing his job well, was accused of ransacking his home and questioning him!  But in the current period of history, can Gan Wenkun still be so lucky?

    After sending away Xiao Erlang who tipped off the news, Gan Wenkun, father, son and brother got together again and began to discuss the next action plan.  At this point in the matter, it has been confirmed that the old traitor Wu used the banner of the Qing emperor to rebel against him, and the Guizhou army has long since rebelled against the old traitor Wu.  Naturally, there were only two roads left before Gan Wenkun, his father, his son, and his brother. One was to take the Zhenyuan official road and go north as soon as possible, and escaped from Guizhou to report to Xiao Mazi and Aobai.  One is to venture south according to Fatty Lu's instructions, and use Wu Sangui's army's psychological illusion that Gan Wenkun will only go north to escape back to Qujing, and then flee from Qujing to Guangxi.

    "Brother, I think Master Lu's plan is the safest." Gan Wenjiong hurriedly said, "Wu Thief expected that we would only go north, and never would have thought that we would venture south.  Going south from the countryside, there is great hope of escaping back to Qujing, and then fleeing from Qujing to Guangxi."

    "Father, my son also thinks that we should go to Qujing." Gan Guocheng echoed: "Although it is closer to escape from Guizhou from Zhenyuan or Zunyi, since Li Benshen and Wang Yongqing's gang of thieves have blocked Lierguan and Zhazuoguan, other  The important pass must have received similar orders. Even if we bypassed a few passes near Guiyang from the trail, but we are far away from Guiyang.  It's better to take a gamble and venture back to Yunnan, which is more sure."

    ?The situation is so critical, but Gan Wenkun refuses to make up his mind whether to flee or not, or where to flee.  Seeing his silence, Gan Wenjiong and Gan Guocheng inevitably scratched their heads and urged together: "Brother, I don't have time, make up your mind, where are you going?"

    "Yeah, Commander-in-Chief, we don't have much time left. It is estimated that Cao Shenji and Li Benshen's gang of thieves have already started to discuss whether to let us go and leave us alone, or let us go to Wu.  The old thief is doing a meeting ceremony, if you don¡¯t make up your mind, if they start to do something, we will have no chance to leave even if we want to.¡±

    Gan Wenkun still hesitated to speak, Gan Guocheng observed his words and asked tentatively: "Father, are you concerned about the safety of the seven mothers? Want to take them out of Guizhou?"

    Gan Wenkun was promiscuous by nature, and after coming to Guiyang, he married seven people as wives and concubines. Gan Guocheng was well aware of his father's hobbies, so he would naturally ask this question, but Gan Wenkun quickly shook his head in denial, and said firmly, "Of course it's not because of them.  , the road to leave Guizhou this time is full of difficulties and dangers, how can I take them with me? In order to preserve their reputation and prevent them from falling into the hands of Wu thieves and ruining their innocence, it is a big deal to let you  It¡¯s enough for the seven mothers to die for the country!¡± (Note: By the way, this is what Gan Wenkun did in history.)

    "Then why are you still hesitating, father?" Gan Guocheng stomped his feet and said, "Since father, you know that women are like clothes, why don't you make up your mind now? If you don't hurry up, it will be too late."

    "Of course I have to go. What I'm hesitating about now is where to go." Gan Wenkun frowned and said, "Using the method that Miyoshi prepared for us, take advantage of the fact that old thief Wu never thought we would go south.??Lead into the back hall and arrange tea to serve the waiters, and after Gan Wenkun and others drank the hot tea in three mouthfuls, Zhu Fangdan led his servants to bring a table of good wine and dishes, and Gan Wenkun and others immediately felt reincarnated and hungry  He pounced on it like a ghost, picked up the food and wine and pulled it up.

    "Sanhao, why hasn't the old thief Wu Sangui raised his troops to go north?" After the hunger was relieved, Gan Wenkun asked vaguely and impatiently while chewing the food: "It stands to reason that the old thief Wu Sangui has few soldiers and food, so it should be  Take the Huguang Grain District first by surprise? Why has it been more than half a month and almost a month has passed, why is the old thief Wu Sangui still standing still in Kunming?"

    "Aoboi is really powerful." Fatty Lu replied that he didn't ask the question: "After Prince Pingxi decided to raise troops, he soon received news that the important cities of Huguang, such as Wuchang, Yuanzhou and Yuezhou, had abnormally mobilized a large number of soldiers and horses.  In particular, Yuanzhou, Guizhou's gateway to Huguang, increased its troops to 20,000 in one go! It can be seen that when Obai decided to force the prince against him, he was already ready to block the prince in Yunnan and Guizhou¡ªOld  Things, there are indeed two things in the military. Because of this reason, the prince is not in a hurry to go north, and plans to wait for Oboi's army to go south."

    "How can you say that about Ao Zhongtang?" Gan Wenkun was a little displeased, and asked again: "Then what are you going to do now? Has the Qujing Green Camp been transferred back to Qujing City?"

    "No, I'm still training in the Sanchakou pass area." Fatty Lu replied very straightforwardly, "As for my next step, of course I will send the three of you, the governor, to Kunming to dedicate to the prince, and then swear to raise troops to follow the banner of the prince.  Already!"

    "What?" Gan Wenkun jumped up holding the plate, and Gan Wenjiong and Gan Guocheng spewed out the food from their mouths.  But before they could make their next reaction, the front and back doors of the back hall had been knocked open together. Brothers Liu Xu and Liu Zhen led a group of soldiers and charged in, pointing knives and guns at Gan Wenkun and his father and son.

    "Lu Yifeng! You betrayed too?!" Gan Wenkun pointed at Fatty Lu and roared.

    "Treachery? Don't put it so harshly." Fatty Lu said with a smile: "I have made up my mind from the very beginning to destroy the Manchus, kill the Mangous and you traitors.  How can you say that I am a traitor?"

    "I'll kill you!" Gan Wenkun yelled, jumping up and trying to strangle Fatty Lu to death.  But as soon as his body moved, brothers Liu Zhen and Liu Xu rushed up first and pushed Gan Wenkun to the ground.  Gan Guocheng and Gan Wenjiong were also staggering, and they fell on the wine table together.  Gan Wenkun couldn't help being even more shocked, and shouted: "There is poison in the wine and vegetables?!"

    "Don't put it so harshly." Zhu Fangdan shook his head and said, "Although I, Zhu Fangdan, like beautiful women a little too much, I am also a genius doctor, so how can I poison people in the food? ¡ª¡ªSo, the food is just some  The Mongolian sweat medicine I prepared myself, and the tea you drank before are also in it."

    "Dog thief¡ª!" Gan Wenkun roared from the bottom of his heart before completely fainting.

    "Dog thief? If I am a dog thief, then who are you?" Fatty Lu sneered, and said, "Your father Gan Yingkui followed Mangou into customs and killed how many innocent people?  What is your Gan family? Traitors!"

    "Tie them up and report victory to the lord! Then post a notice. I am determined to lead the army and civilians in Qujing to follow the lord, raise troops to clear the lord, and kill the traitors of Obai! Swear to the death to resist the tyranny of the Mangou, and defend the Eight Banners drug that we pioneered in Qujing!"  (To be continued.

 Chapter 154 Finally exposed

    ?

    Because of the distance of the road and the communication technology, the old traitor Wu Sangui finally decided to change his mind and atone for his crimes. It has been more than a month since Xiao Mazi in the capital watched the movement of Yungui day and night, but he was always ignorant of it.  The current real situation in Yunnan and Guizhou, on the contrary, is that Fatty Lu's impeachment of Oboi's extortionate taxation, arbitrary taxation, and the urgent memorial to put Yunnan and Guizhou farmers in dire straits were sent to the capital first, and directly sent to the capital through the channel of Suo'etu  In front of Xiao Mazi.

    "It's bad, why did you forget to consider Lu Yifeng's position as a slave?" After reading Fatty Lu's fierce words, Xiao Mazi couldn't help but patted his head and cried out, "If you don't want to pay tribute seeds, every two Eight Banners will be taxed.  Eight money, the old thief Wu Sangui can afford it, but the people of Qujing under the rule of Lu Yifeng, a dog slave, can't afford such a high tax! This is troublesome, once the decree is announced, Qujing will have to make trouble.  ? This time, I finally made a big mistake."

    "It's not the master's fault, the emperor must not feel guilty about it." Mingzhu hurriedly repaired the steps for Xiao Mazi and said, "It was Oboi who raised the tax on the Eight Banners' medicine so high, and it was Oboi who forced the emperor to implement this.  As for the tax amount, as long as Lu Yifeng is reasonable, he will definitely understand your difficulties, master."

    Mingzhu repaired the steps for Xiao Mazi, and Suo'etu was not stupid, and quickly echoed: "Ming Zhongtang is right, this is indeed not the master's fault. Besides, Lu Yifeng himself is also responsible. Before this, he did not  You didn¡¯t report the real income of Qujing Gaonong to you, master, and you didn¡¯t say a word for Qujing Gaonong on the issue of taxation, otherwise, with the kindness of master, you will definitely worry about this.¡±

    Xiao Mazi naturally didn't care about the life and death of the people in Qujing Mansion under Wu Sangui's rule. Now that he heard Mingzhu and Suo'etu's defense for him, Xiao Mazi would not feel guilty at all. He nodded and said, "That's right,  Lu Yifeng was also confused this time. After so much tossing about the ruling on the tax amount of the Eight Banners drug and longevity cream, he did not report the truth to me with a memorial, let alone express his opinion. He objected only afterward.  He deserves to suffer on his own."

    "Of course, we can't completely blame Lu Aiqing." Xiao Mazi continued to excuse, "He returned to Qujing to take over as the magistrate only in July. At that time, the issue of the taxation of the Eight Banners drug tax was also at the last juncture.  Encountered so many things, he made occasional mistakes, which can be forgiven.¡±

    "It's just that" Xiao Mazi frowned, and said, "If the old thief Wu Sangui raises his troops, it will be difficult for him to choose a position. The soldiers and civilians of Qujing continue to dominate the Eight Banners Fushou in order to pay less taxes.  If the planting rights are anointed, it is likely to be bewitched by the old thief Wu Sangui and follow the old thief Wu Sangui to commit chaos. In this way, we want Lu Aiqing to lead the army and people in Qujing to unite as we hope, to guard Qujing, the throat of Yunnan and Guizhou, and to serve the imperial court.  It is probably not realistic to adjust the deployment of the army to buy time."

    Mingzhu and Suo'etu couldn't find anything to say this time. Without the support of the common people, soldiers and civilians, if Fatty Lu wanted to hold Qujing's throat and wait for reinforcements, it would be extremely difficult.  Although Xiong Cilu and Kong Sizhen next to him didn't speak, and their faces were calm, their eyes already revealed an unconcealable smug light of joy¡ªeven if Fatty Lu didn't die this time, the fox's tail would die anyway.  exposed.

    "Wait, if Fatty Lu is really Wu Sangui's hard-core running dog, why is there a purpose in presenting such a memorial at this time?" After the joy, Xiong Cilu suddenly calmed down again, and began to reverse his thinking and analyze Fatty Lu's countermeasures  .

    It¡¯s definitely not good for Master Xiong to engage in military affairs, but in terms of power struggles and political struggles, Master Xiong is extremely talented, so after a little calculation, Bachelor Xiong naturally came to his senses very quickly, "Understood, this Fatty Lu is indeed incomparable!"  Cunning and vicious, such a memorial at this time is obviously paving the way for his next step to follow the old thief Wu Sangui to rebel. At this time, he explained to the emperor that the people of Qujing will never accept the tax amount of the Eight Banners.  If he started a rebellion, the emperor would think that he was forced to raise troops and his conscience was still alive. He had a glimmer of hope for him, and he would not kill him. Naturally, he could fish in troubled waters, seek profit in chaos and continue to harm our Qing court.  The army is here. Damn, when others take one step and watch one step, this Fatty Lu takes one step and watches three steps, it's sinister and cruel!"

    Thinking up to this point, Master Xiong rolled his eyes and hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the Emperor must not worry about the safety of Mr. Lu. I can affirm that Mr. Lu is extremely smart, even if he loses  With the support of the people of Qujing, he will definitely be able to return to the capital safely and return to serve before the emperor."

    "How can you see that?" Xiao Mazi asked suspiciously.

    theWe are the three good artillery of Pingxi Palace.  "

    "Ao Zhongtang had better not try it." Wu Yingxiong gritted his teeth and replied, "My nephew Sanhao cast cannons and weapons for my father, although it was just for self-protection and to prevent the Pingxi Palace from being bullied casually, but if someone wants to try,  Then I can assure you¡ª¡ªhe, he will definitely regret it!"

    "Thank you for reminding me, my son, I will be careful." Obai turned his face away, looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky, and said lightly: "However, I am still very curious. You Han people had red barbarian cannons and three-eyed firecrackers back then.  , With firearms such as Fire Dragon Going to Sea and Hundred Birds Facing Phoenix, they still can¡¯t stop our Manchu cavalry, but now that we have three good artillery and three good rockets, can we stop my Eight Banners cavalry?¡±

    "If Ao Zhongtang is willing, of course he can try it, and I will never dissuade you." Wu Yingxiong forced a smile and said nothing more.

    "Ao Zhongtang, what happened?" Xiao Mazi asked Ao Bai dumbfounded.

    "On the way to Zuo'anmen today, I just received the news that Wu Sangui finally rebelled." Aobai replied calmly: "The banner on the side of the Qing emperor is to be killed to thank the world."

    "Reverse? The old thief Wu Sangui has finally rebelled?!" Although he was mentally prepared for the news, when he actually heard the news, apart from ecstasy, Xiao Mazi was still nervous and timid for a while¡ªthen,  It is the flames of a decisive battle with Wu Sangui's army, who can conquer and fight well. Can we win the final victory if we are full of people?

    "What are you still doing?" After a long time, Xiao Mazi finally came back to his senses, turned to the guard behind him and shouted, "Why don't you invite Prince Pingxi into the sky prison, so that you can entertain him?"

    "Cover." Cao Yin and Li Xu happily agreed together, hurried forward together to surround Wu Yingxiong, pretending to put out an invitation gesture, and said: "Master, I have offended you, please."

    "I regret that I should have listened to Lu Xia's words and refused to escape first. God blesses me, and I hope that Lu Xia can take Shifan back to Yunnan smoothly and leave a line of blood for us in Yunnan." Wu Yingxiong sighed secretly, raised his head with his hands behind his back  Walk.  When passing in front of Dai Zi, a handsome young man who was entangled by Kong Sizhen, Wu Yingxiong suddenly stopped and stared at Dai Zi who was just in his early twenties.

    "Why is he staring at me like that?" Dai Zi was a little timid and took a step back.

    "Don't be afraid, I didn't mean to hurt you." Wu Yingxiong smiled and said, "I'm just sorry for you. If we don't have three good things in the Pingxi Palace, you will come out ahead in this battle and be so powerful in the world.  It's doomed. It's a pity that now that we have Lu Sanhao in the Pingxi Palace, you are also destined to be a foil and a stepping stone for him, helping him to become famous and powerful in the world."

    "My son, is that Lu Sanhao you mentioned really that powerful?" Dai Zi asked curiously.

    "I can't tell you now, but when you come to the battlefield in the future, you will understand how big the gap between you and Sanhao is. You are a genius, but unfortunately, you met an opponent who is even more talented than you." Wu Yingxiong smiled and shook his head.  Then he left without saying a word, leaving Dai Zi wondering in place.

    "That Lu Sanhao, is he really that powerful?" Dai Zi was both curious and suspicious, and couldn't help whispering, "If that's the case, then I would like to use my skills to compete with that Lu Sanhao on the battlefield.  "

    "Lu Yifeng, a dog thief! A traitor! A national traitor!" After listening to Wu Yingxiong and Dai Zi's exchange, Xiao Mazi finally couldn't bear it and roared hysterically, "I won't kill you, I swear I won't be human! I won't be human¡ª!!"

 Chapter 155: Monarch and Subject Concentric

    ?

    "Lu Yifeng! Dog thief! Dog thief! Traitor! Traitor! I won't kill you, I swear not to be human! I swear not to be human!!"

    Roaring hysterically, Xiao Mazi grabbed the four treasures of the study on the dragon case like crazy and smashed them wildly. Even standing on the front gate building outside the Forbidden City, the angry roar could definitely be heard clearly  Chu.  And under the dragon case, Xiao Mazi's confidantes pressed their foreheads to the ground tremblingly, let alone persuasion, they didn't even dare to take a breath.  Among them, the situation of Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cilu is naturally better. Mingzhu, who has not had much contact with Fatty Lu, is not too afraid. Suo Etu, who walked closest to Fatty Lu, is in a miserable situation.  The cold sweat on Suo'etu's body has never stopped since the moment when the fat man showed his sinful face.

    "Lu Yifeng, dog thief! Dog thief! I swear to kill you, I swear that you will be cut into pieces and put to death! Dog thief! Traitor! ¡ª¡ª Suo Ertu!"

    It's a blessing not a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, roaring, Xiao Mazi finally remembered the most ideal punching bag, and shouted Suo'etu's name.  The super unlucky Suo'etu was shocked, so he had no choice but to kneel forward under the gloating eyes of Xiong Cilu, Kong Sizhen, and Mingzhu, kowtowed and replied: "The slave is here."

    "Tell me!" Xiao Mazi pointed at Suo'etu, and shouted: "Who was the one who guaranteed in front of me? That bastard Lu Yifeng is loyal to me, worthy of reuse, and can be entrusted with important tasks? And who is in front of me?  Said that Lu Yifeng's dog thief was a rare loyal and capable minister in the Qing Dynasty, and he could give him enough trust to let him go to work in Yunnan and Guizhou, and persuaded me to hand over the Qujing Green Camp to him?! Say, these words, all  Who said it?"

    "Have I ever said these words? I know that bastard Lu Yifeng, didn't the emperor order me to contact him?" Suo Etu groaned in his heart, but he didn't dare to argue with Xiao Mazi at this time, just desperately  He kowtowed and begged: "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves death! This slave was fooled, fell into the trap of that bastard, misled his master, and made a big mistake. This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die. Please, master, please forgive me!"  Lord, forgive me."

    "You should have died a long time ago!" Xiao Mazi yelled frantically, "Come here, take Suo'etu down, and hand it over to the Punishment Division for interrogation and conviction!"

    "Master, please spare me!" Suo'etu yelled out of his wits.  Fortunately, at this moment, the chief eunuch suddenly yelled outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, "The Empress Dowager Lafayette is here¡ª!"

    "Grandson, what's the matter?" Amid long shouts, the old witch of Xiaozhuang had already walked to the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation with the support of Lagu Su Ma and Li Yinzheng, and looked at the teacups, pens and papers that had fallen all over the hall.  The old hag in Xiaozhuang could not help but smile slightly, and asked, "Your Majesty, who made you angry again? Why did you get so angry?"

    "Grandmother" Xiao Mazi came forward and opened his mouth to yell. When he wanted to continue talking, tears were already rolling down.  Xiaozhuang smiled, stepped forward and hugged Xiao Mazi in his arms, and comforted him softly: "Grandson, needless to say, grandma already knows it, it's okay, I can't blame you for this, even your grandma who has been through storms  Being cheated by that Fatty Lu, let alone you who are still young?"

    "It's okay, it's a trivial matter. Now that his ugly face has been exposed, and the old thief Wu Sangui has turned his back on him, when he goes to kill Wu Sangui in the future, he will take Lu Yifeng back and cut him to pieces. This anger will come out soon.  Alright? Well, there is no need to cry, you are not a child anymore, don't let people see the joke."

    Xiao Mazi nodded with tears in his eyes, and finally calmed down temporarily, but the hatred for Fatty Lu in his heart not only did not disappear in the slightest, but increased by three points. Of course, Xiao Mazi will definitely find out in the future that his hatred for Fatty Lu  The growing hatred is only the beginning.

    "Okay, let's let Suo'etu go too." Xiaozhuang turned his gaze to Suo'etu who had been held down by Li Xu and Cao Yin, and said lightly: "This matter has nothing to do with him, but it's not  There is no crime at all, from Aijia's point of view, pulling out the single-eyed flower feather, downgrading to three ranks and retaining the original post is about the same. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

    Of course, Xiao Mazi also knew that Suo'etu was wronged, and now that Xiaozhuang opened his mouth to intercede for him, he naturally had no choice but to nod in agreement. If Suo'etu was granted amnesty, he quickly kowtowed to express his gratitude, "Thank you, the emperor, for your kindness, and thank you, the empress dowager."  Lafayette for your kindness, thank you Your Majesty, thank you Empress Dowager Lafayette"

    "Okay, you get up too." Xiao Zhuang ordered: "Go out first, the Ai family has something to say to your emperor alone." Suo'etu agreed with Ming Zhu and others, and hurriedly bowed out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation  , leaving space for Xiaozhuang and Xiaomazi's grandchildren to talk in secret.

    "Your Majesty, come, sit here." Xiao Zhuang first pulled Xiao Mazi aside, sat down beside him, and then asked in a low voice: "Grandson, outside Zuo'an Gate today, Oboi asked??Ask Tu Hai what crime he committed, but after hesitating for a long time, Xiao Mazi finally realizes that something is wrong¡ªif Tu Hai really revealed the whereabouts of his father who became a monk to Ao Bai, why is Ao Bai still not here?  Understand what crime Tuhai committed?  So after repeated calculations, with Xiao Zhuang's acquiescence, Xiao Mazi finally confided the truth to Ao Bai, and after presenting the evidence and confronting each other, the truth will naturally be revealed immediately, and the result is also very natural

    In the past ten years since Xiao Mazi ascended the throne, Xiao Mazi and Obai finally spoke in unison, "Lu Yifeng! Dog thief! Traitor! Shameless traitor¡ª¡ª!",

    "Lu Yifeng! Dog thief! Traitor! Shameless traitor!"

    The one who scolded the loudest was, of course, Grand Bachelor Tuhaitu, who had been innocently imprisoned and tortured for three years.  After understanding the general situation of the matter, Master Tu University roared and cursed hysterically with tears in his eyes, "Did I dig your ancestral grave or raped your sister? How dare you use such a shameless method to frame me?!  Do you know that you not only caused me to sit in unjust imprisonment for three years, but also caused my family to be ruined, my wife drowned, and my son starved to death!

 Chapter 156 Obai Sends Troops

    ?

    "Wu Sangui, this old man, is so smart, he knows that he will take advantage of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses? He actually figured out a crooked trick to lure the old man into Guizhou for a decisive battle, which really made the old man look a little different, haha."

    Obai expressed his emotion and smile after reading the latest report on the military situation of Yunnan and Guizhou. The military report sent by Liubailijia quickly showed that Wu Sangui¡¯s army was not in a hurry to go north after they raised the banner of the Qing Dynasty.  Seize Huguang, but chose to consolidate the interior and deploy Guizhou. The only two major troop mobilizations were left-wing cavalry general Gao Dejie leading an army of 5,000 troops from Yunnan to Guizhou's northeast barrier, Sizhou Prefecture; the other troop mobilization was  It was the later general Han Daren who led 6,000 troops northward to Zunyi and approached Sichuan. However, judging from the rationing of troops and the dispatch of food and grass, it seems that Han Daren's army had no intention of attacking Sichuan.

    Aobai smiled so happily, Bumbleshan, who didn't understand military affairs, was confused and couldn't help asking Aobai: "Master En, what is the purpose of the old thief Wu Sangui mobilizing the army like this?  The analysis is not to speculate that the old thief Wu Sangui will immediately capture the Huguang grain-producing area after he raised his troops, but now that the old thief Wu Sangui has not done so, why does Enxiang praise him instead?"

    "If Wu Sangui preemptively seizes the Huguang grain production area before the old man is fully prepared, it is undoubtedly the best policy, because it can quickly solve the problem of Yunnan and Guizhou's lack of self-sufficiency in food."  The preparations blocked his way to go north to Huguang, waiting for work like him, sticking to Guizhou, is undoubtedly the smartest choice."

    "It's the smartest choice to wait for work with leisure and stick to Guizhou?" Bumbleshan was even more confused, and said with a mournful face: "Enxiang, I still don't understand the humble job, can Enxiang give me some pointers?"

    "You are still a descendant of Aixinjueluo, so you don't understand? Read more military books when you have time!" Ao Bai scolded with a smile: "You have never been to Guizhou, so you don't know how high the mountains are and how dangerous the roads are.  , How difficult it is to transfer grain, grass and weapons. If the old man hadn't deployed heavy troops in Yuanzhou between Huguang and Yunnan Guizhou to block Wu Sangui's northward route, then Wu Sangui's old thief must have quickly gone northward to seize the Huguang grain production area and solve his problem  There is a problem with the military rations. Because the autumn harvest in Huguang has just ended, the prefectures and governments have sufficient food reserves, as long as the old thief Wu Sangui quickly captures the southern part of Huguang, then his food can not only be replenished on the spot, but can also be used to support the rear of Yunnan and Guizhou.¡±

    "Now, the old man has sent Manzhou Zhenghong Banner Du Tongjue Luo Barbu led an army of 20,000 to reinforce Yuanzhou, choking the throat of Wu Sangui's old thief going north, and deployed large troops in Yuezhou and Changsha as backup. Wu Sangui's old man  It is extremely difficult for the thieves to take Yuanzhou quickly. Once the war in Yuanzhou is delayed for a long time, there will be problems with the food and grass supplies of Wu Sangui's old bandit army.  , and the transportation of food, grass and military supplies is inconvenient, and the defeat is immediately forged."

    "The old man speculates that the old thief Wu Sangui may have seen through this strategic intention of the old man, so he decisively gave up going north and chose to deploy defenses in Guizhou to lure the main force of the old man into Guizhou for a decisive battle.  In order to gain the upper hand, we can take advantage of the three advantages of solid fortifications, familiarity with the terrain, and waiting for work on the inside line, and strive to annihilate or severely injure the main force of our Qing Dynasty in Guizhou, and then take the opportunity to counterattack."

    "I understand the humble position." Bumbleshan finally came to his senses, and asked curiously: "Enxiang, what is the purpose of the two troop mobilizations of the old thief Wu Sangui?"

    "Han Daren's mobilization of troops along the way is to guard against the Sichuan army and contain the main force of our Qing Dynasty." Aobai replied lightly: "Sichuan has been fighting for years, the population has been severely reduced, and the land is desolate. It is no longer possible to support large-scale  The army is fighting, and the old thief Wu Sangui sent Han Daren to lead an army of 6,000 troops north to Zunyi, which is enough to defend the northern line and prevent our Qing army from making a surprise attack from the northern line."

    "At the same time, Zunyi is located in the north of Guiyang. If the old bandit Wu Sangui intends to choose the decisive battlefield in the south of Guiyang, then this road can play a role in threatening our army's supply road and force the old man to separate his troops for surveillance."

    "As for Gao Dejie's route, it's a typical lure army! Our small army invaded Guizhou, and Gao Dejie's troops could easily stop it. After the old man's main force went south to attack Guizhou, Gao Dejie would definitely fight and retreat.  Abandon Sizhou, Zhenyuan and other places, lure the main force of our army into the hinterland of Guizhou for a decisive battle, give full play to their inside advantage, and at the same time stretch the old man's food roads, and use the mountain roads in Guizhou to consume the old man's manpower and material resources."

    Speaking of this, Oboi sneered again, and said: "If my predictions are correct, the old thief Wu Sangui chose either the eastern part of Guiyang or the area around Anshun! And the possibility of choosing Anshun for the final battle is even greater, because the terrain there is more difficult.  It is open and more conducive to the deployment of the army, and Zhenning City with high mountains and dangerous roads to the south is his ideal."This is the best." Obai nodded, and said, "The mother-child cannon only weighs more than three hundred catties, it is easy to carry, and it is most useful for fighting in the mountains. I hope the emperor will not forget it. Besides, the servant also listened to Dai Zi's play."  According to the newspaper, he can still make a water gun that fires twenty-eight shots in a row. If he can really make this thing, I hope the emperor will dispatch a batch to the front line as soon as possible. Guizhou is humid and rainy, and the bow string becomes soft when it meets water.  It is not as easy to use as firearms, if the slave army can have such firearms, they will definitely gain a huge advantage on the battlefield."

    Xiao Mazi, who was eager for Oboi to get out of the capital as soon as possible, of course agreed repeatedly, slapping his chest to assure - as for whether he could do it, Xiao Mazi really couldn't guarantee it.  Aobai then continued: "One more thing, Your Majesty, this servant thinks that it's time for your Majesty to confer Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi as Prince Jingnan and Prince Nan. It won't cost you a few more silver per year, but it can temporarily appease them and prevent  They followed the old bandit Wu Sangui to start a rebellion. Besides, the emperor can also lure them to make huge profits with medicines, let them send troops to go to Guangxi to attack the hinterland of Yunnan, and help the slaves wipe out the old bandit Wu Sangui."

    "What will these two guys do?" Xiao Mazi said worriedly: "Shang Kexi is fine. The relationship between Geng Jingzhong and the old thief Wu Sangui is very close. If he is asked to send troops to attack the old thief Wu Sangui, will he agree? If they not only  If you don¡¯t follow the order, but rebel because of my persecution, that¡¯s a serious problem.¡±

    "Don't worry, your Majesty, not only will they not rebel, but they will definitely obey the order." Obai sneered and said, "Wu Sangui's old traitor raised his troops to rebel this time. Although the banner he unleashes is on the side of the Qing emperor, everyone knows that he is trying to continue to dominate.  Eight Banners made huge profits from drug products, and he has already offended the princes and governors all over the world, Monk Geng Jingzhong is delighted to covet the huge profits from drug products, and in order to share the results of the war after the war, he will definitely follow the order."

    "Of course, it is absolutely impossible to expect them to attack Wu Sangui with all their strength." Obai said frankly, "The purpose of the slaves is only to contain the old thief Wu Sangui. As long as Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong come out separately  When the first army is stationed in Guangxi, the old thief Wu Sangui must allocate troops to garrison the east side of Yunnan, just in case, and the pressure on the slaves on the frontal battlefield can also be relieved a lot."

    "Then let me try." Xiao Mazi replied hesitantly, "I hope these two treacherous kings can work together with me to defeat Wu Ni."

    Seeing Xiao Mazi's hesitant pockmarked face, Oboi had the urge to smash it with a punch - the reason has been made so clear, monk Geng Jingzhong is happy to serve his own self-interest, even if he doesn't really serve him  , Sending troops to deal with errands to contain Wu Sangui is also a matter of ironclad, do you still need to try?  After he severely wounded or wiped out Wu Sangui's main force on the frontal battlefield, Xiao Mazi was worried about how to stop the two wolves, Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi, from rushing into Yunnan to burn, kill and loot?

    After more than ten days of final preparations, on the morning of the second day of the first lunar month in the eleventh year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, the first-class Duke of the Qing Dynasty, the first Batulu, and the Taishi Oboi set off at the Wufeng Building in the capital, where the snow was flying.  He led an army of 240,000 to Yunnan and Guizhou to put down the rebellion of Prince Wu Sangui of Pingxi.  Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty also visited Wufeng Tower to boost morale and see off the counter-insurgency army in person.

    When leaving, Oboi's youngest son, Namufu, kept crying while pulling his father's clothes, but what he answered was Oboi's slap in the face, and a loud roar, "Remember, we Manchu men don't bleed.  Tears! If Lao Tzu is shrouded in horse leather, you will put on armor for Lao Tzu, take up weapons, and join your brothers to avenge Lao Tzu! Continue to suppress the rebellion for the court!"

    Namufu nodded with tears in his eyes and forcibly held back his tears. Obai, who was over 60 years old, hugged his beloved youngest son, and said goodbye to his confidantes such as Bumbleshan, Murima and Ge Chuha.  Nodding his head, he got on his horse and shouted: "The whole army is on the move!" As soon as the words fell, Oboi's eyes, whose braids were already gray, were filled with tears.

    Amidst the sound of drums and music, Oboi's three thousand relatives marched out one after another, and joined the main army in Tongzhou. They saw the armored soldiers marching out one after another, and saw Oboi's burly back disappear into the depths of the snow.  Mazi let out a long sigh of relief on the Wufeng Building, and murmured in his heart: "Oboi old thief, farewell! This time, no matter whether you win or lose, I will not let you go back to the capital! Never!  I will make you come back to the capital and yell at me, I will tell you what to do, never!"

 Chapter 157 The First Shot

    ?

    Since ancient times, there are really few rebels who have stood still for several months after playing the banner of the Qing emperor. What is rare is that Wu Sangui, the old traitor Wu, who always cares about his head and disregards his tail, and likes to act on his own will, has become one of them  .

    From the day of the twenty-fifth day of October in the tenth year of Kang Mazi, when the governor of Yunnan, the chief envoy, and the inspector were suddenly arrested, and the army was officially announced, until the first month of the eleventh year of Kangxi, in more than two months, the old traitor Wu  The main army stayed in Yunnan and did not move at all. They did not pay attention to the neighboring Huguang grain-producing areas at all, and did not intend to take advantage of the opportunity that the Qing court could not respond in time to go north.

    Of course, within Wu Sangui's army, many people also questioned Fatty Lu's strategy of defending first and then attacking in two steps. They felt that this move was too passive.  Strength and make up for shortcomings, and solve the Achilles' heel of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces' lack of food self-sufficiency.  However, after discovering that the Qing court had already prepared for this, especially after discovering that the Qing court had deployed heavy troops in Yuanzhou, the gateway to Huguang, these voices quickly disappeared without a trace.

    Just kidding, if you can't take down Yuanzhou, which is heavily garrisoned by Mite Qing, when the main force of Mite Qing led by Oboi arrives on the battlefield, Wu Sangui's army, tired of the old man, will just wait for Oboi's new force to slaughter!  Instead of this, it is better to honestly follow the established strategy for a decisive battle in Guizhou, so that the odds and certainty of winning are a little more.

    In fact, Wu Sangui's top brass, including Wu Sangui himself, knew very well that with the current weapons and equipment of Wu Sangui's army, even if Yuanzhou was garrisoned by a heavy army of mites, it would not be very difficult to win Yuanzhou before the main force of Oboi arrived.  It is not impossible to quickly take Changsha and Yuezhou and basically control Hunan before this, but considering the terrible mountain roads in Guizhou and the huge consumption of weapons in the decisive battle on the Yangtze River, as well as Oboi's tyrannical force and scheming on the battlefield, it has been done before.  Wu Sangui, who had suffered two defeats under Oboi, still gave up this plan, and the psychological shadow was too deep.

    While holding back the troops and recharging their energy, Wu Sangui's army's strategic layout has not been idle. In addition to sending Han Daren and Gao Dejie to go north to Guizhou, Wu Sangui's army also strengthened its defense against Guangxi and sent more troops to Guangnan Prefecture in Yunnan.  Send troops to guard against threats from Guangxi, and form a double insurance on the eastern front with the Line National Security Department in Nanning and the Cen Jilu Department in Sicheng Prefecture to ensure the safety of the hinterland of Yunnan.

    Fortunately, because Kong Sizhen framed Fatty Lu as Wu Sangui to win over the Lan Guoan army, he completely angered the line Guoan father and son, and almost completely torn face with the Qing court and Kong Sizhen, and openly attached to the Pingxi Palace to hand over the Phoenix Mountain silver mine  Hands-off, there is no turning back at this point; at the same time, Cen Jilu in Sicheng Prefecture is the only chieftain in Guangxi who grows the Eight Banners Fushou Gao, and the benefits and losses are the same as Wu Sangui's, so he naturally boarded Wu Sangui's pirate ship without hesitation;  Ma Xiong, the admiral of Shangguangxi, has always had a good relationship with Wu Sangui, and he also took advantage of the passing profits of the Eight Banners drug products going east to sea.  Therefore, Wu Sangui's army's eastern battlefield is quite safe, and they don't need to worry too much, and can concentrate on dealing with threats from the main northern battlefield.

    Wu Sangui's army still has an advantage on the northern front. That is, the two generals in Sichuan, Wu Zhimao and Tan Hong, are both Wu Sangui's former troops.  They, and at the same time, because of the serious decline in population and population in Sichuan due to successive years of wars, neither the population nor the economy can support a large army to fight.  Therefore, on the Zhengbei battlefield, Wu Sangui doesn't need to worry too much. Just sending one Han Daren to station in Zunyi is enough to ensure that there is nothing wrong.  The main battlefield threat.

    The defense is basically well-arranged, and then it is diplomatic efforts. Although one more hypocritical friend will definitely help a lot, but one less enemy means less pressure.  After publicly displaying the banner of the Qing emperor, the envoys of Wu Sangui's army also attacked in all directions, contacting the governors, admirals, and vassal princes of various provinces, inviting them to join forces to kill Oboi on the side of the Qing emperor.

    Everyone knows that Wu Sangui's so-called side of the Qing Dynasty is just to continue to dominate the Eight Banners drug profits, jealousy and envy, and not daring to provoke the fierce tiger Oboi, the results of Wu Sangui's diplomatic efforts are naturally good and bad.  The only team that directly responded to Wu Sangui's uprising was Line Guoan, who also took the initiative to send Line Guoan's youngest son, Line Qiyu, to Qujing to show his sincerity.  Sichuan governor Luo Sen and admiral Zheng Jiaolin sent the envoys out of the country, but declined in reply. Wu Zhimao and Tan Hong agreed to send troops to respond if necessary, but their attitude was obviously on the sidelines, wanting to see the limelight before deciding whether to take action.

    ? Also holding a wait-and-see attitude is Ma Xiong, the admiral of Guangxi., replied in unison.  At the end, Fang Guangchen added: "Seizing the Lianzhou estuary in advance, there is another advantage, that is, we can train the navy, recruit fishermen to train sailors, and benefit our future Yangtze River campaign and capture of Jiangnan."

    "Lianzhou is a feudal land that is still gratifying (Lianzhou was assigned to Guangdong in the Qing Dynasty). "Liu Xuanchu echoed: "Shang Kexi, the old thief arrested our army envoy and despised the majesty of the prince. The prince is famous. By the way, you can give him a  A lesson. At the same time, Lianzhou is close to Nanning, and the father and son of Lan Guoan are staunch supporters of the prince, so they can serve as the backing for the defenders of Lianzhou, and they can defend it even if it is taken down.¡±

    "Then why are you still standing there?" The old man Wu sneered, and said, "Shang Kexi, the old thief is attached to Oboi. He is cruel and inhumane, and he deserves death! Master Wang Xingyi is begging for the thief from the sky. Of course, Shang Kexi, the old thief is also alone.  He is in the ranks of the crusades! Send an order to let Xiaoqi Empress General Du Hui lead an army of 3,000 to attack Shang Kexi's lackey garrison in Lianzhou!"

    "Grandfather, let me go." Fatty Lu hurriedly said.

    "What are you in a hurry for?" The old man Wu smiled kindly and said, "Of course my grandfather understands your eagerness to make contributions, but do you think you have done a lot of credit for winning Lianzhou? The garrison there only has more than a thousand people.  It would be great to have a force of 800, and you won¡¯t have much credit for taking it down, so you should obediently supervise the manufacture of firearms in Yunnan, and show off your skills in the decisive battle in Guizhou in the future.¡±

    "Yifeng, don't be in a hurry to claim merit." Liu Xuanchu also frowned and said, "You have already accomplished a great feat by trapping Gan Wenkun and his son and offering them to the prince Ling Chi. Do you still need to claim such a small merit? Besides,  Do you think the lord just sent someone to attack Lianzhou? Du Hui used to be a general of the Nanming Navy and fought in water battles. The lord sent him to Lianzhou to prepare for the establishment of the Yunnan-Guizhou Navy. Can you do that?  ?¡±

    "Then invite General Du to go." Fatty Lu shrank his fat head and said embarrassingly: "Actually, I don't want to take credit, the main reason is that I want to meet Line Yuxuan by the way. I haven't seen you for more than half a year. It's really true."  I kind of miss him Your lord, benefactor, Mr. Xianyan, why are you looking at me like that? I don't have that hobby! It's just, it's just that I really have a good friendship with Line Yuxuan, there is no other meaning."

    "My lord, I'm afraid it's not enough to send just one Du Hui." Fang Guangchen suggested: "It's better to let Lu Shilian, who is a civil servant, go with him, and bring more money and fushou ointment seeds, so as to buy the hearts of the local people and consolidate the rule." Old traitor Wu  Hearing that he was very satisfied, he immediately nodded in agreement.

    It is of great significance for Yungui to attack Lianzhou with the first shot of the anti-Qing Dynasty, but the process is so simple and easy. The 3,000 troops led by Du Hui, the pro-military army of Pingxi Wangfu, have just arrived at Jiuping, the junction of Nanning and Lianzhou.  Guan, the defenders of Jiuping Pass with less than a hundred people had already switched and surrendered. When the cavalry of the Wu army went all the way to the south and approached Lianzhou City, the army had not seen the shadow of the city wall of Lianzhou.  He opened the city gate wide and led all the soldiers and civilians out of the city to surrender, with a sincere attitude and joyful expressions, as if we were not surrendering but welcoming the return of the king.  Du Hui was confused, and couldn't help asking Xu Huamin, "Why did you surrender so quickly? We didn't shoot a single shot, and you all surrendered without killing anyone. Why?"

    "Prince Pingxi seeks thieves from the heavens, and the Qing emperor punishes the country's thieves. The soldiers and people of Lianzhou are overjoyed. When Master Wang arrives, is there any reason for me to welcome Master Wang without carrying the pot?" Xu Huamin first said a lot of similar nonsense, and then cautiously  Asked: "General Du, I heard that you claimed in Qinzhou County that the prince's army brought the seeds of the Eight Banners Fushou Ointment this time, and planned to let the soldiers and civilians of Lianzhou try to plant them. Is it true?"

    Du Hui was speechless and vomited blood, and when the news reached Guangzhou, Shang Kexi, the old traitor who was also shot while lying down, also vomited blood, and shouted: "Old thief Wu Sangui! I swear against you!"

    In a fit of rage, the old traitor Shang immediately ordered Yan Ziming, the admiral of Guangdong, to lead an army of 10,000 to counterattack in an attempt to regain Lianzhou.  Those who greeted them were not only the Yunnan-Guizhou soldiers who were armed to the teeth, the Guangxi National Security Army who claimed to be as fierce as tigers and vicious as wolves, but also the soldiers and civilians of Lianzhou who were united as one.  Fight!" This is a distant topic, so let's skip it for the time being.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 158 The Prelude Gradually Opens

    ?

    (ps: It¡¯s been a long time since I asked for a monthly ticket. Today I¡¯m so cheeky to ask for it again. Please check the bottom of the box again to see if you can get some more tickets for Pure Wolf?)

    "Follow heaven to punish thieves, kill Oboi? If you can't get the edict and can't find an excuse to follow the edict to beg the thieves, you just use the destiny? Such a shameless slogan, who came up with that old Wu Sangui?"

    After carefully reading Wu Sangui's call to arms full of shameless words and despicable sophistry, Oboi couldn't help laughing again, and couldn't help but increase his admiration for the thickness of the old traitor Wu's face¡ªit's really not easy to deceive himself to this extent.  .

    At this time, with the rattling sound of wooden sticks hitting the deck, Tuhai, who had been reinstated and was canonized as General Fuyuan, and appointed by Aobai as the deputy commander of the Qing army, supported his crutches and dragged the broken  With a crippled right leg in three pieces, he limped into the main cabin of the Qing army's flagship¡ªnot to mention that a lame man cannot be a general. As we all know, Mazi was among the traitors, but there was another one who was sitting in a sedan chair and wanted to charge forward.  Zhang Yong, a lame traitor who helped Mi Qing massacre his compatriots.

    As soon as they met, Tu Hai was about to salute, but Oboi hurriedly said: "Tu Hai is inconvenient, so there is no need, come, help Tu Hai to sit down."  Aobai asked again with concern: "Tutang, is the wound still hurting? Have you used the high-grade Eight Banners Fushou Ointment that the old man sent to you?"

    "Thank you for your concern. After using the top-grade Eight Banners Fushou Ointment rewarded by Enxiang, the pain of the wound has been greatly reduced, and I am much more comfortable." Tu Hai respectfully agreed.

    "That's good. Just ask when you're done. I have a lot of high-grade reserves here." Obai nodded, and then said, "Don't blame the old man in Tutang for being cruel. You were forced to fight when you were released from prison and your wounds haven't healed yet."  Yungui, the key is that we are full of generals who are old and dead, young and lacking in training and experience, so I have to use an experienced general like you."

    "Enxiang, don't say that. If it wasn't for Enxiang's rescue, I would still be tortured in the sky prison every day. Life would be worse than death." Recalling the hell experience of the past three years, Tu Hai couldn't help crying  He stumbled and fell, and said with a sob: "Compared to Tuhai's kindness of rebuilding, Tuhai is broken into pieces, and it is difficult to repay it, not to mention the turbulence of this mere expedition?"

    "Forget it, don't mention the past." Obai shook his head and said, "You must also not blame the emperor for being ignorant, that barbarian Lu Yifeng is too cunning to use the former emperor's privacy to frame and frame him."  As for you, the emperor was young at the time and couldn't verify the truth, so he wronged you, resulting in the ruin of your family and the separation of your wife and children. You must also be considerate of the emperor, he definitely did not intentionally wrong you."

    "Of course I don't dare to blame the master." Tu Hai said with tears in his eyes: "The humble officer just hates the old thief Wu Sangui and Lu Yifeng, the thief.  The whole family of the dog thief was handed over to the humble official, and the humble official flayed and cramped his whole family, and executed him in a hurry to avenge the tragic death of his wife and children."

    "Of course, when I catch Lu Yifeng, I will hand him over to you." Aobai laughed, and waved his hand again, "I'll talk about these gossips when I have time. You dragged your handicapped body to come to visit me, wouldn't you?"  Is it just for these few small talk? If you have any military affairs, just talk about it.¡±

    "Yes." Tu Hai agreed, and quickly took out a military report from his bosom, and said respectfully: "Report to Enxiang, the guard of Yuanzhou, all feel that Luo Barbu hastened to report, and the thief will be victorious  On the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month in the eleventh year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, I suddenly went north and attacked Yuping Pass, the gate of Huguang.  Gao Dejie succeeded in attacking the key point, and the defenders of Yuping were forced to retreat to Huangzhou City and Centipede Pass. The battle lasted for nearly a day, and my guards killed 512 soldiers and killed about 600 enemies."

    "But it's very strange." Tuhai paused, and then said: "After Gao Dejie succeeded in attacking Yuping Pass, he didn't take advantage of the momentum to attack Huangzhou City. He only repaired the pass wall at Yuping to consolidate the pass defense.  Standing firm. General Jueluobalbu asked for instructions, should the Yuanzhou army be dispatched to counterattack and retake Yuping Pass?"

    "What do you think?" Aobai asked, "Why do you think Gao Dejie did this?"

    "I suspect that Gao Dejie is probably deliberately luring the enemy." Tu Hai replied in a deep voice: "The strength of Gao Dejie's bandit army has been confirmed repeatedly, and the main force is only 5,000.  The local army has less than 1,500 people, and it can only play an auxiliary role. The strength of the troops is only one-third of that of Jueluo Barbu. We have few enemies, and the enemy is mainly attacking, deliberately provoking our army and luring our army to attack  Very likely."

    "That's the truth." Aobai slapped the table, feeling relaxed when talking to a smart person, and said firmly: "Gao Dejie!It's a waste of talent to leave you bad boy behind.  "Old man Wu, who admired Fatty Lu's wicked character, said with a treacherous smile: "I hope this time, you, a little cunning, can bring me another surprise, and help me introduce that old cunning Oboi to Guizhou as soon as possible.  "

    "Grandson-in-law will do his best." Fatty Lu respectfully agreed, and then urged: "Grandfather, the last time my grandson-in-law suggested something to grandfather, I hope grandfather will never forget¡ªgrandfather must use various channels to give Emperor Mangou a piece of advice."  Send more petitions and ask him to issue an imperial edict, allowing you to crusade against Oboi Qingjun and punish the country's thieves. As long as Emperor Mangou is tempted, no matter what conditions he puts forward, you can agree first, grandfather, and get his bullshit edict. Obai's 20  The tens of thousands of troops will soon be torn apart and turned into a bunch of chickens and dogs."

    "Worry! Got it, the king will remember." The old man Wu laughed and scolded, and said: "Be more careful on the front line, Man Gou hates you to the bone, if you have any troubles, the granddaughter of the king has not yet  If you pass through the door, you will be a widow."

    Fatty Lu agreed gratefully, and immediately took the official document to bid farewell to the old traitor Wu, Hu Guozhu, Fang Guangchen and others.  Go to Xiao Erlang, Fang Shiyu, Hong Xiguan and other hard-core dog legs, pack up your luggage and prepare to go.  But just as he was about to leave, Fatty Lu suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly told Li Tianzhi: "Brother Li, you send someone to Kong Fanlin, tell him to clean up, and go to Sizhou with me."

    "What are you taking him for?" Li Tianzhi hesitated, and said, "Brother Kong has rich experience in scouting. He is helping us train scouts during this time. I think it will be more useful for him to stay behind to train troops?"

    "For the training of scouts, please leave it to Luo Kedi. Kong Fanlin and I will go together, and it will be of great use." Fatty Lu said in a deep voice, "I don't know if you still remember? The three of Gan Wenkun and his son once said that Guiyang East  In front of Longli, there is a small road passing Qingyan Fort, which can directly reach the Yunnan-Guizhou official road next to Maomao Cave, and they used this small road to get rid of Li Kaixian's pursuers and sneak into Yunnan secretly."

    "I have a hunch that if this path is suitable for marching, it will be of great use in the future when the main force of the prince and the main force of the dog will come in handy!"

 Chapter 159

    ?

    Fatty Lu and his entourage carefully observed the terrain and mountains along the way. When they arrived at Sizhou Prefecture (now Cengong), Guizhou, where Wu Sangui Army and Mite Qing Army faced each other head-on, it was already February 22, the eleventh year of Mite Qing Kang Mazi.  At the same time, about 150,000 people from Obai's main force had also arrived in Yuanzhou, and the pressure on Yuping Pass increased sharply.  Seeing Xiao Erlang, Fang Shiyu and other dog legs came directly to Yuping Pass again.

    Holding the badge and official documents of Prince Pingxi's Mansion in his hand, he naturally entered Yuping Pass, which was under full martial law, and met Gao Dejie, a traitor and running dog he was quite familiar with, under the wall on the east side of Yuping Pass.  , and Gao Hongchen, Gao Dejie's deputy.  As soon as they met, Gao Dejie couldn't wait to ask: "Yifeng, why are you here? Is it possible that the prince is going to give up the strategy of luring the enemy into Guizhou for a decisive battle, and is preparing for a full-scale counterattack?"

    "General Gao, in terms of charge and tactical command, I admire you so much." Fatty Lu flattered him first, and then said cautiously: "However, in terms of strategy, I still hope that General Gao can act cautiously and lure the enemy.  The decisive battle in Guizhou is a comprehensive military strategy formulated by our Pingxi Palace based on various factors, and we have spent countless manpower and material resources on preparations for this, so is there any reason to change it at will?"

    "Then why did the prince send you to Yuping Pass?" Gao Dejie asked with some disappointment.

    "My lord concluded that the old thief Oboi would inevitably adopt a strategy of countering consumption, completely blockade Yunnan and Guizhou, and force our army to take the initiative to attack at the junction of Guizhou and Huguang, which is beneficial to Mangou." Fatty Lu replied honestly: "So the lord sent his officials  Come to assist the general, see if there is any way to disrupt the wishful thinking of the old thief Oboi, and lure his main force into the decisive battle in the hinterland of Guizhou as soon as possible."

    "Really?" Gao Dejie was even more disappointed, shaking his head and said: "However, Yifeng, you may have to make a futile trip this time. I'm afraid that old man Aobai won't be so easily fooled."

    Fatty Lu was startled, and asked the reason, but Gao Dejie didn't answer, but just pulled Fatty Lu to the top of the gate tower, put the western binoculars into Fatty Lu's hand, sighed and said, "Look for yourself, Oboi!"  The main force of that old thing arrived in Yuanzhou the day before yesterday, what do you see his main force doing in the distance?"

    Fatty Lu quickly raised his binoculars, and when he looked eastward carefully, he saw dust flying on the avenue east of Yuping Pass. About five or six miles away, countless Qing soldiers were carrying soil, picking stones, branches and corners of trees, digging ditches and digging.  The fortifications are being urgently repaired, and the length of the fortifications is extremely high. It connects the Zhenyang River in the north and Dawei Mountain in the south, and surrounds Yuping Pass, the east gate of Guizhou in an arc shape.  Posture within the territory.

    "See?" Gao Dejie said with a wry smile: "Actually, although I used force to snatch this Yuping pass back from Man Gou, as long as Man Gou's main force makes a full-scale attack, I will give up this pass immediately.  The city has been fully withdrawn to the west, but the old thief Oboi refused to give me this opportunity. He would rather spend manpower and material resources to build another wall to completely block our eastward path, and he would not take the risk of attacking Yuping. Such an old cunning  , what else do you use to lure him into Guizhou for a decisive battle?"

    Seeing Oboi's actions, Fatty Lu felt a little guilty. He would rather be safe and build a wall to block the road. He would not even take the risk of attacking the Yuping Pass, which could be taken away. Oboi's old slippery head killed Mr. Wu  The determination of the traitor can be seen. In front of such an old fox on the battlefield, can he be his opponent as a beginner in the battlefield?

    "General Gao, don't worry." Fatty Lu said with a guilty conscience, "Oboi's old thief is only stronger on the battlefield, but the main reason to attract his main force to Guizhou is to start from the political level.  My weak point is also my strong point, as long as General Gao can listen to the advice of the humble officer, and act according to the situation, he will surely be able to lure the enemy and fulfill the heavy entrustment entrusted to the general by the prince."

    "Really?" General Gao Dejie asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

    With the cowhide blowing to this point, Fatty Lu had no way out, so he had no choice but to repeat the two rumors he had fabricated before, and asked Gao Dejie to order the soldiers to spread the word among the people, and then use the word of mouth among the people to sway the rumors.  The morale of the army alienates the bad relationship between Oboi and Xiao Mazi.  Although Gao Dejie felt that it was too unreliable to influence Oboi's strategic decisions by spreading rumors alone, but it didn't take much to spread a few rumors, so he still kept in mind that he summoned the generals at the grassroots level to spread rumors everywhere, and left Fatty Lu behind.  Think hard on the wall.

    "With Oboi's ability, even if he heard the rumors I spread, he would probably see through them at a glance and never be fooled." Fatty Lu thought hard in his heart, "And even if these two rumors are effective, the process must be very long.  It can't be concentrated, and it will affect Oboi's strategic decision-making, it depends on luck and opportunity. Lure the enemy into Guizhou for a decisive battle.In spite of this point, Oboi must have lost his crotch with yellow mud this time, and he was either dead or dead.  "

    "Brother Lu, be careful." Gao Dejie suddenly reminded loudly.

    "What are you careful about?" Fatty Lu, who was standing on the arrow stack with his feet on the closed wall, froze, and when he turned his head again, Fatty Lu felt his feet slipped, and fell to the closed wall while screaming, "Help¡ª!"

    "Be careful!" Gao Dejie yelled, reached out and grabbed Fatty Lu by the back of his clothes, and finally caught Fatty Lu who fell off the wall.  Fatty Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "Thank God, God is still open, good people have good rewards, and Tu Hai almost lost both."

    With a sound of "»©À²", God really opened his eyes. Before Fatty Lu could finish talking to himself, the back of Fatty Lu's clothes cracked, and he fell heavily off the wall.  Gao Dejie, Gao Hongchen, Xiao Erlang and the others were scared out of their wits, and when they hurriedly probed out to observe the situation, they saw that Fatty Lu happened to fall into a mud that was silted up by rain, his body was splashed with mud, and he was also rolling in the mud  Moaning, screaming like howling, "God, you don't open your eyes! How can you let a good person like me and a running dog like Tu Hai suffer from both sides?!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 160 Heart Attack

    ?

    I don't know if God opened his eyes or God has no eyes. Fatty Lu fell from the three-foot-high closed wall, but he didn't break a single bone, and he didn't throw any important internal organs out of internal bleeding.  There were also a few more bruises, and some soft tissue damage on the buttocks¡ªaccording to the analysis of the military doctor who rescued Fatty Lu, the reason for this was that Fatty Lu happened to fall into the mud to slow down the impact.  The fat on the fat man also contributed a lot.

    The injury is really not serious, but falling off the wall once is not a joke. At least for the next day, Fatty Lu can only lie on the bed honestly, looking at Wu Sangui while recuperating.  Use all kinds of intelligence collected by the army to analyze the enemy's situation and study strategies to defeat the enemy.  And in the evening, Hong Xiguan, who was ordered to go out on business, finally returned to Yuping Pass, and brought Fatty Lu a private school teacher from Sizhou City to help Fatty Lu with some clerical duties.

    Fatty Lu did not suddenly want to recruit another staff member on a whim. The key is that Fatty Lu left Zhu Fangdan in Anshun to help his cousin Qin Yong and his confidant Li Tianzhi lead the army. At the same time, Fatty Lu, who is used to writing simplified characters with a pen, is really not good at brushes and traditional characters.  , That's why I had to find another master for help.  However, after seeing the writer Hong Xiguan found for him, Fatty Lu was startled, and couldn't help shouting: "Erlang, hurry up, keep our money bags tight!"

    It wasn't that Fatty Lu suddenly short-circuited his head and gave such a confused order, but that the master Hong Xiguan found for Fatty Lu was extremely good-looking. Although he was wearing a Confucian robe, his facial features were extremely uncoordinated.  The fat man is still small, but his aquiline nose is extremely huge, and his protruding ears and sausage mouth, no matter how you look at him, he looks wretched, and no matter how you look, he doesn't like it. In addition, his wretched behavior of looking around and looking left and right when he enters the room makes it even more similar to what is often seen by Lu.  Street thieves crushed by Fat Man Iron Fist are no different.

    "Master, I understand." Xiao Erlang subconsciously clutched his purse tightly, showing the same opinion as Fatty Lu.  The wretched master smiled wryly, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the student knows that I don't look very good, but the student is also a disciple of the sage after all, and he hates those little people who sneak around, so I won't imitate them.  "

    "Mr. misunderstood, this officer is" Fatty Lu was a little embarrassed, and argued: "I asked my followers to prepare money bags and prepare to pay for the travel expenses of my husband."

    "To pay the travel expenses of the students?" The wretched master was taken aback, and asked quickly: "So, the adults don't want to use the students anymore?"

    "No, I don't mean that." Fatty Lu shook his head quickly, then turned to look at Officer Hong Xi.  Officer Hong Xi was quite clever, and immediately understood Fatty Lu's meaning, and immediately replied dejectedly: "My lord, I have tried my best, but because of the approaching flames of war, the people in Sizhou City are running and fleeing.  The city is more than half empty, and the younger one wandered around the city of Sizhou several times, and found such a private school teacher. If the adults are really dissatisfied, the younger ones can only go to Zhenning City to try their luck."

    "Damn it, other people's dog legs are all good-looking and have good features. How come my dog ??legs are destined to be rogue-headed characters?" Fatty Lu cried out in his heart, and asked the wretched scholar helplessly: "Mr.  Where are you from?"

    "Students don't dare to be respected and big." The wretched scholar replied politely: "The student's surname is Wang, and his humble name is Shaobo. He was a scholar in Sizhou Prefecture in the second year of Kangxi, and ranked eighth in the Guizhou provincial examination in the fifth year of Kangxi."

    "The eighth place in the provincial examination, Yayuan?" Fatty Lu's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "Then you are not a juren?"

    "My lord, just because the student was born ugly, the then Xuezheng lord crossed out the student's name." Wang Shaobo replied with a wry smile: "The student swore to quit the exam in a fit of anger, and returned to his hometown in Sizhou to become a  Mr. private school, to save your life. The war is approaching, the students and professors are scattered, and they are worrying about their livelihood. It happened that an adult was recruiting a master, so he came here to recommend himself."

    "The flames of war are approaching, and the people are running for their lives, so why don't you run away, sir?" Fatty Lu asked casually.

    "Why did the students run away?" Wang Shaobo said with a startling expression, and said with a smile: "Prince Pingxi used Yungui as his foundation to seek thieves from heaven and kill Oboi. Wherever the army goes, he will definitely strictly restrain the soldiers and civilians so as not to lose the hearts of the people of Yunnan and Guizhou;  The banner played is to fight against rebellion according to the order, to pacify Yungui, and to point the finger at the prince's army. Wherever the army goes, it must put the people first, compete with the prince for the hearts of the people, and isolate the prince's army. Both sides put the people first, and they will not take it lightly.  Let's start killing, students have no official or job, just civilians, why worry about it?"

    "Are you so confident?" Fatty Lu asked with a smile: "When the Manchus entered the customs before, they slaughtered many cities. Now you don'tIt was printed on paper and glued to Kongming lanterns. Last night when the westerly wind was strong, Wu Gou took the opportunity to release the Kongming lanterns. All the Kongming lanterns flew eastward and floated everywhere. People and soldiers picked them up, and rumors spread.  "

    "What else?" Oboi almost vomited blood, hurriedly left the table and went to the messenger, took the thin paper himself, but saw that there was indeed a fake secret edict printed in clay on the paper: Blessed by heaven, the emperor said,  Taishi Aobai bullied the heavens and the earth, filthy and chaotic palaces, mutilated living beings, ruthless, and sinful!  Qin ordered Wu Sangui, Prince of Pingxi, to launch an army crusade to support the royal family and save the people!  The one who wins the head of Oboi will be crowned king by cracking the earth!  Party affiliates who flatter and worship traitors will destroy the whole family!  This!

    What's even more ruthless is that this fake edict is actually stamped with a fake vermilion jade seal!  As for whether the jade seal was carved out of radish or wood, no one will know for a while.

    "Wu Sangui, you thief!" Obai was furious, crumpled the fake secret edict into a ball, threw it heavily on the ground, and roared: "You dare to forge the secret edict, and you still have the face to play the banner of the Qing emperor, and put the emperor on the throne!"  where?"

    "Grand Master, that's not enough." The messenger said timidly again: "Since this morning, the Wu thief has started to write big characters on the city wall of Yuping Pass again.  Because the characters are so big, they can be read clearly from two or three miles away"

    "What's wrong with him?" Obai sneered, and ordered: "Go back and tell Yue Le to let him announce in public that this secret edict is a fake, it's Wu Sangui's plot to alienate the rebels, it's unbelievable. The truth is as close as the emperor's."  Flesh and blood, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to issue such a secret edict!"

    "Is the emperor really not going to issue such a secret edict?" He said resolutely, but after thinking about it carefully, Oboi's heart was a little bit drummed, "With the evil mind of Emperor Mazi, wouldn't it be possible to think of the relationship between the old man and Wu Sangui?"  Stepping on two boats? Secretly promulgate a similar secret edict to Wu Sangui, so as to clean up the mess after the war. Emperor Mazi is likely to be able to do such a thing."

    Thinking of this, Oboi shook his head quickly, trying to drive the thought away from his heart, "Is it true that this old man is really old, and his mind is moved by such a simple estrangement, really shouldn't, shouldn't be."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Yuping closed at about the same time. Under the command of Lu Fatty and Wang Shaobo, soldiers of the Wu army were writing fake edicts on the wall with lime water.  After checking the progress of the project, he asked Fatty Lu worriedly: "Boss, will this be useful? Such a secret edict, Mangou can tell it's fake at a glance."

    "You don't understand this. If a lie is repeated a thousand times, it becomes the truth!" Fatty Lu waved his hand, and said proudly and confidently: "Actually, the sharp conflict between the old thief Oboi and the Emperor Mangou is very serious in Mangou.  It¡¯s no longer a secret in the dog officialdom, as long as this false secret edict spreads widely, the false will become true.¡±

    "Boss, the students think that if you are determined to spread rumors, you will shake the morale of the army." Wang Shaobo suddenly said with a sinister smile: "Then the students think that the boss seems to have forgotten something, which can be used, and the effect must be amazing.  "

    "What?" Fatty Lu asked curiously.

    "It's something issued by the government. People often copy and print it in exchange for money." Wang Shaobo smiled treacherously.  No matter how poor you are, as long as there is something on the market, you will definitely try to buy it and read it¡ªBoss, now you should understand what this is, right?"

    "Dibao (official newspaper)!" Fatty Lu slapped his arrows, and asked Wang Shaobo curiously: "Shaobo, I believe that you must know a man named Yuan Keding, right?"

    Note: Yuan Keding, the son of Yuan Shikai, in order to encourage Yuan Shikai to proclaim himself emperor, Yuan Keding forged "Shuntian Times" every day, specially printed some domestic and foreign articles supporting Yuan Shikai's proclaiming emperor, and then put this fake newspaper in Yuan Shikai's room every day  (To be continued.

 Chapter 161 The Scourge of the Qing Dynasty

    ?

    Ever since the scourge of Fatty Lu came to the front line, the days of peace and depression for the army generals and soldiers on the front line of the battlefield have come to an end.  Not only will you not feel bored because of the boring life, and there is nowhere to vent the pressure on the battlefield. On the contrary, life is colorful and interesting every day!  And it was none other than us who brought them all this. It was we who produced the famous, talented, and well-known¡ª¡ªLu Yifeng, Lu Sanhao, and Master Lu.

    Of course, there is a reason for saying this. Every day during the day, whenever the construction of the siege is in full swing, the propaganda team that Fatty Lu carefully selected and formed by himself always ran to the vicinity with great concern, knocking on the fortification again.  The gongs were beating drums again and shouted in unison, "Brothers of the Eight Banners, brothers of the Green Camp, don't waste your energy, the old thief Oboi doesn't want to fight at all, let's not kill each other, and don't waste our energy  , just sit back and enjoy."

    "Oboi old thief doesn't want to fight at all, rest, don't waste your energy¡ª! Rest¡ª!"

    Although the propaganda team organized by Fatty Lu is not large, only 30 to 50 people in total, all of them are full of energy and have a loud voice, and they have unified their caliber after training.  Most of the soldiers of the Qing army who built the siege fortifications could hear it, and they could basically hear it clearly.  Not to mention, after shouting this slogan, these propaganda teams will take out some small packets of Eight Banners drug ointment wrapped in straw paper, sprinkle them everywhere, and then shout again in order:

    "Brothers, this is the Eight Banners drug ointment that our prince gave you. You don't need money for it, and whoever picks it will get it! Don't worry, our prince loves the people like a son, and will not poison you!"

    After that, these propaganda teams naturally broke up in a herd, fled back to Yuping Pass to rest, and waited for the opportunity to dispatch again.  Since the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty discovered that these people were indeed spraying the Eight Banners drug ointments that only the generals and officials of the Qing Dynasty could enjoy, and found that these Eight Banners drug ointments were not poisonous, whenever these propaganda teams finished spraying the Eight Banners drug ointments, they built  The mite Qing soldiers in the fortifications would immediately throw away the hoes, dustpans, and shoulder poles in their hands, and rush forward to loot them like a tide.  After fighting each other, drawing swords, and forging enmity, the military discipline in Yue Le's barracks naturally deteriorated rapidly, and internal strife of picking quarrels and provoking troubles and seeking personal revenge emerged endlessly, and morale was also greatly depressed.

    The Wu Army Propaganda Team harassed them three times a day. After a few days, Yue Le began to realize that something was wrong. In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, Yue Le had to send his Chinese Army Guard Commander to personally lead the military law team to the front line to stop the soldiers looting Wu Jun's propaganda team.  Baqi Fushou Ointment.  But what made Yue Le vomit blood was that after this military law team composed entirely of bannermen went to the front line, they took the lead in looting the Eight Banners medicines, and for whoever robbed more and who less, the internal strife was even more serious than that of the Han soldiers¡ª¡ª  There is no way, the first to be poisoned by the Eight Banners drug ointment, but these banners are full of people, and the taste of opium addiction is beyond Yue Le's imagination?

    In a fit of rage, Yue Le beheaded four or five of the most troublesome soldiers in one breath, and then arranged 800 cavalry to wait on the front line, specially sniping and killing Wu Jun's propaganda team, but at this moment, Wu Sangui's subordinates were best at cavalry  Gao Dejie, who was in the battle, also started to fight. Before Wu Jun's propaganda team escaped to Yuping Pass, Gao Hongchen, Gao Dejie's deputy, had already rushed out of the pass with 300 cavalry, and started the most orthodox cavalry battle with Yue Le's cavalry.

    It was also at this moment that the Gaode Jie army, which had been suppressing the chieftain army almost every year, also showed its overwhelming advantage over the degenerate Eight Banners cavalry.  Yu Ji's Eight Banners cavalry galloped freely, invincible, as if entering the land of no one, and soon killed the Eight Banners cavalry who had long been buffed by the rich life, turned their backs on their backs, ran away with their heads in their hands, and fled back in embarrassment, leaving more than a hundred corpses behind.  He went to the formation, but Gao Hongchen and others did not pursue them, they laughed and mocked before the formation and then walked away.

    The above is just the wonderful life of the Qing soldiers during the day. At night, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty soon discovered a more exciting program, that is, the wonderful leaflets brought by Wu Jun's Kongming Lanterns - of course,  If Fatty Lu is still the same old way and only prints fake secret edicts on the leaflets, then most of the Qing soldiers who are generally poorly educated must not understand and are not interested, so since the first large-scale dissemination of fake secret edicts, Fatty Lu has changed.  With a strategy, it was printed on the flyer-erotica!

    If anyone is the most proficient in this area in this era, then this person is definitely Lu Sanhao, the fat man who has visited countless island countries.  Soon I saw sexual movements that I had never seen or heard before, such as k intercourse, g intercourse, **, four p, two men and one woman, up and down, front and back three? Say?  "Yue Le raised his fist. Obai shouted in time: "Prince An, there is no need to do this, the old man has probably guessed the reason, he really doesn't know, there is no need to force him.  "

    Yue Le had no choice but to put down that Wu Jun, and Obai asked Wu Jun again: "Wu Jun, let me ask you the truth again, today you raided the camp of our Qing army, was it a temporary decision? Or was it pre-arranged?"  ? And who decided to poison the river water?"

    "Back to the grand master, it was Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Qujing Mansion, who poisoned the river." Wu Jun replied very happily this time, "The raid on the Qing camp was also arranged by Lu Yifeng in advance with General Gao."

    "Lu Yifeng?!" Ao Baiteng stood up, Yue Le was also taken aback, and exclaimed: "How is it possible? Xiao Wang has also seen that fat man named Lu Yifeng, and he still has such abilities?"

    "My lord, it's really him." Because Yue Le didn't believe it, Wu Jun hurriedly explained: "When he asked General Gao to collect poison everywhere and prepare to poison him, General Gao thought it was unreliable, so he didn't want to use it.  Lord Lu made a bet with Gao Jie, saying that if this trick didn¡¯t work, he would lose five taels of silver to each brother in Yupingguan. If this trick worked, General Gao would have to follow his arrangements to fight in the future. Gao  Some of the general's soldiers have a good relationship with me. They all heard it with their own ears, and they said it when they chatted with me. They are absolutely unmistakable! And when they poisoned the river this morning, Lord Lu personally directed it.  "

    Aobai and Yue Le exchanged glances, and a thought arose in their hearts - we really underestimated this Fatty Lu back then!  After a little calculation, Oboi asked again: "So, a few days ago you used Kongming lanterns to spread false secret edicts, erotic palace pictures, and sent people to spread the Eight Banners of life ointment in front of our formation. Could it be that it was also Lu Yifeng's work?"  Got an idea?"

    "That's right, he did it all." Wu Jun replied with a sad face: "One time when the Kongming lanterns were set off, the younger one also went to help. I saw with my own eyes that it was he who directed and printed those erotic paintings. He was also from Sizhou.  It was printed with the artisans found in Zhenyuan."

    "Lu Yifeng!" Yue Le stomped his foot heavily, angrily said: "Back then, I really underestimated you!"

    "It's not just the prince who underestimated him, the old man underestimated him too." Aobai said slowly: "The old man has a premonition that if this Lu Yifeng can be used by you and me, he will be your arm.  If you and I are enemies, we will become our strong enemies! The scourge of the Qing Dynasty!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

 Chapter 162 - Strong Enemy Strikes

    ?

    In the judgment, it was only the Gaode Jiejun who was thrown out by the old traitor Wu Sangui as bait. In fact, it was so difficult to chew, and its combat effectiveness was so fierce, it was a bit far beyond the expectations of the veteran and the last famous general of the Qing Dynasty, Oboi.  In addition, what makes Oboi secretly vigilant and worried is that since he came to power and resolutely ended the large-scale war in the country, in just ten years, the Qing army has deteriorated severely, and the soldiers' will to fight has also greatly declined.  Contrary to Oboi's expectation.

    When the enemy advances, he retreats. What worries Aobai, the loyal running dog, is the fact that he has retreated.

    As a veteran soldier who joined the army at the age of fifteen, Oboi certainly understood the reasons for the degeneration of the Qing army¡ªthere had been no large-scale wars in ten years, veterans retreated to death, and recruits never went to a big battle.  I have never seen so much blood when Mite Qing invaded the Central Plains. He was seriously inexperienced and mentally immature, which lowered the average combat effectiveness of Mite Qing's army.

    In addition, there is another important reason for the degeneration of the Qing army's combat effectiveness, that is, the superior life of the Eight Banners, the core of the Qing army's main force, after entering the customs.  Looting and plundering from it, bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes, under the pressure of survival, they are naturally very brave and tenacious in combat, and now the bannermen are eating hard-core crops, and every month there are Lumicola who are exploited and plundered from the Han people.  With no worries about food and clothing, why are you still willing to risk your life on the battlefield?  The core core is unwilling to work hard, so what do you expect the Han people in the auxiliary position to work hard?

    On the contrary, although Wu Sangui's army is only fighting to defend the exclusive planting rights of the Eight Banners drug ointment this time, the Yunnan and Guizhou controlled by Wu Sangui army are too poor and life is too difficult.  Food, grass and military salaries are not self-sufficient. Fighting for the Eight Banners drug cream is tantamount to fighting for survival in disguise. Can morale not be high?  Can the combat power not be tenacious?  Under the ebb and flow of mentality and will, Yue Le was defeated in front of Gao Dejie, so naturally he was not wronged at all.

    Fortunately, it hasn¡¯t been too long for the Qing army to degenerate. There are still ways and opportunities for Oboi to solve the above problems. The generals and soldiers are inexperienced and can be cultivated on the battlefield; the fighting spirit is not strong enough and the morale is not enough  Gao Gao can also awaken the cruel and brutal blood sleeping in the body of the people through strict military discipline and strengthened training, and restore the blood and animal nature of the past.  For Oboi who had already grasped these pulses, all he needed to solve these problems was time.

    Easier said than done, these problems need enough time to solve, but what Oboi lacks most now is time.  It has been almost four months since Kang Mazi set off from the capital on the second day of the first lunar month in the 11th year. Apart from completing the strategic siege of Wu Sangui's army that could not see results in a short period of time, Obai has not yet been in Wu Sangui's army.  Get a victory for yourself¡ªeven a symbolic victory!

    On the contrary, Wu Sangui's army captured Lianzhou to open up the sea route, and Gao Dejie took the initiative in breaking through Yuping Pass. Now Yue Le, who had high hopes from both Oboi and Xiao Mazi, was once again overwhelmed by Gao Dejie.  Unfortunately, it can be said that it has been a series of consecutive defeats. If things go on like this, the morale will decline greatly, and Oboi's prestige will also be severely damaged. This is extremely detrimental to Oboi's strategic plan to block Yunnan and Guizhou and finally force the main force of Wu Sangui's army to go out to Guizhou for a decisive battle.

    And there is another thing that worries Oboi even more, and that is Xiao Mazi's confidence in winning the decisive battle with Wu Sangui.  To force himself into the decisive battle in Guizhou, or to secretly contact Wu Sangui and issue a secret edict for Wu Sangui to attack him, then there is no need to fight this decisive battle for Oboi, just wait for his army to be completely undivided and collapse on its own!

    "Should we win a battle first to boost our morale and confidence?" Affected by internal and external troubles, Oboi inevitably began to waver, thinking whether he should win a symbolic victory or not first, to boost his morale and build up his confidence  Besides.  But after staring at the map and sand table in northeast Guizhou for a long time, Obai began to worry again.

    "How do we fight this battle?" Obai said to himself, "This ghostly place in the northeast of Guizhou, that is, Sizhou City, is relatively open. When you reach the junction of Sizhou Mansion and Zhenyuan Mansion, the road narrows immediately.  To Shili Road, there are two key passes, Jiming Pass and Jiaoxi Pass, both of which are easy to defend, difficult to attack and extremely dangerous. The purpose of Jie Barbarian is to introduce the old man into Guizhou, lengthen the old man's grain road, and use Guizhou  Yupingguan and Sizhou City are not important to him at all, once the old man makes a strong attack, the barbarians will definitely give up immediately and lead the old man to the hinterland of Guizhou."

    "Could it be that this old man really wants to advance the battle line to Zhenyuan Mansion? That ghostly place has narrow roads and high mountains and forests."The second step, in the next few days, the grand master can secretly transfer a cavalry from the Yuanzhou camp to ambush behind the Yupingguan camp, so as not to be noticed by the bandits. Another elite army can be dispatched to secretly sneak into the camp.  Take the trail on the south side of Nanshan Mountain, be prepared to suddenly enter Guizhou at any time¡ªthe number of ambushes in the Great Nanshan Mountain does not need to be large, but they must be elite and able to fight tough battles."

    "After the preparations for the first two steps are completed, then the third step can be implemented. In the third step, please ask Shun County King to launch the main attack, pretending to lure Gao Dejie's army out of the final battle, and first send a large army to the front of the pass to scold the formation.  It is of course better for the high-level Czech army to come out, even if it cannot be lured out, it can also play the role of paralyzing and exhausting the high-level Czech army, and then around the time of application in the afternoon, Lord Shunjun, you will suddenly exert your strength and attack Yuping.  Guan launched a fierce attack, forcing the Gaode Jie army to retreat. At the same time, our Dananshan ambush army suddenly entered Guizhou, detoured and went straight to Jiming Pass on the west side of Sizhou, cutting off the Gaode Jie army's retreat to Zhenyuan  , just in case!"

    "After forcing the Gaode Jie army to abandon Yuping Pass, you must not pursue it, Prince Shun, and continue to paralyze the Gao De Jie army. And Lord Shun, if you exert your strength in the afternoon, no matter how fast the Gao De Jie army retreats  In Sizhou City, the sky will be at least in the evening, when the sky is so high that the Jie army sees that you are not chasing the prince, and the men and horses are very tired, they must go to the city to rest, and win us time to close the door and beat the dogs!"

    "And then." Obai took the conversation, and said in a deep voice, "The ambushes behind our Yuping Pass battalion made a sudden effort to enter the pass overnight from the official road to attack Jiming Pass, and join hands with the elite troops who attacked Jiming Pass  Hold this pass and form a momentum of closing the door and beating dogs?"

    "The grand master is brilliant, that's exactly the case." Zhou Peigong said solemnly: "As long as we win the Jiming Pass and cut off the return route of the Gaode Jie army, our superior force can form a momentum of closing the door and besieging the dog, so as to achieve the goal of besieging the city and fighting for aid."  Tactical purpose. Even if something goes wrong during the period, and the barbarian who is so tall can see the flaw, as long as our ambush in Dananshan can reach Jiming Pass in front of him and temporarily block his retreat, it can also serve us  The rest of the army won the time for reinforcements! So the students repeatedly emphasized that the ambush army in Dananshan must be elite and must be able to fight hard and bloody battles!"

    Obai was silent. After staring at the sand table for a long time, Obai said slowly, "Send Zhao Liangdong to the road of Danan Mountain. He was the commander-in-chief in Zhenyuan before, so he is familiar with the road conditions. The ambush behind Yuping Pass, Lai Ta!  "

    "Teacher, so you agree to adopt the student's plan?" Zhou Peigong asked in surprise.

    "This old man is not our emperor. I don't know how to pretend to understand and I like to pretend to be smart. Your plan is good, and this old man will naturally accept it with an open mind." Obai said with a sneer: "If you have any good strategic plans in the future, feel free to ask the old man.  Alright, the old man will definitely accept it! You don¡¯t need to go back to Tuhai, the old man is also short of people here, so stay here as an offering for the old man, and the old man will explain to Tuhai.¡±

    "Slave Zhou Peigong, thank the grand master for rewarding him." Zhou Peigong was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down on both knees, kowtowed to Oboi to thank him, so surprised that he didn't even notice that he used the wrong name.

    "Get up, I haven't promoted you, so you don't need to thank me." Aobai said lightly, "But as long as you work hard and give me some good ideas, I will treat you well in the future."

    "Of course, as long as I can sneak into your shogunate and gain your trust, even if you don't promote me, someone will promote Lao Tzu." Zhou Peigong smiled triumphantly in his heart, and said respectfully, "Grand Master, students still have  A suggestion, I hope the grand master will adopt it."

    "Say." Aobai replied.

    "Students suggest that the seven cuts in the Grand Master's military order be changed to six cuts." Zhou Peigong said cautiously.

    "Changing seven beheadings to six beheadings?" Aobai raised his eyebrows, and asked with a sneer, "Do you want to suggest to me, old man, to abolish the beheading of people who plunder people's property?"

    "How does this old man know?" Zhou Peigong was taken aback this time. He never thought that this seemingly stupid old man, Oboi, would have such a careful and foresight side.  In timidity, Zhou Peigong had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "The grand master is very aware of the details, it is true. In order to support the great war to pacify the Southwest, my Qing court has already stretched its treasury to make ends meet, and the old thief Wu Sangui and the people of Yunnan and Guizhou have relied on the Eight Banners all these years.  Drugs are making huge profits, and the folks are already"

    "No." Obai interrupted, and said coldly: "I know what you want to say. The treasury has no money to reward the soldiers, and the morale of the soldiers is not high. Wu Sangui and the people of Yunnan and Guizhou have money. As long as the soldiers are bold enough to grab it, the morale will be sure.  It is extremely expensive, and it can also lighten the burden on the national treasury. But don¡¯t forget that this time, the old man is following the imperial edict to seek rebellion and pacify Yungui.  The old man will never allow it!"

    Zhou Peigong had no choice but to agree honestly, and Oboi snorted coldly again: "You will remember this old man, and you will give me such a bad idea in the future, be careful of your head!"

 Chapter 163 The Benefits of Modesty and Studious

    ?

    (ps: It's the end of the month, and the 7,000-word chapter will be updated again. Please ask for a monthly ticket and a reward.)

    "Huh?! This old man, Oboi, what medicine did he take wrongly? Why is the reaction unexpected?"

    Using the binoculars to observe the changing situation of the Qing Army outside Yuping Pass, Fatty Lu suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness.  The Mite Qing army was just changing defenses normally, replacing the Yue Le army with low morale and many wounded soldiers, and replaced it with Le Erjin's new force, continuing to exert heavy but limited military pressure on Yuping Pass.

    "Report¡ª!" At this time, a Wu army messenger hurried up the tower, knelt down on one knee in front of Gao Dejie next to Fatty Lu, clasped his fists, and said: "Report to General Zuo, after careful investigation and statistics by our army scouts  , the enemy's Leerjin Department still had about 30,000 troops on defense, and the Mangou Yuele army marched towards Yuanzhou in the rear at a normal speed. The wounded and sick soldiers moved forward, the infantry was in the middle, and the cavalry was in the rear.  Special anomaly."

    "Continue to investigate." Gao Dejie waved and ordered.  The messenger led the order to go, Gao Dejie put down the binoculars, and smiled at Fatty Lu again: "Brother Yifeng, you finally miscalculated this time, right? Last time you said that we severely injured Mangou Yuele, old Oboi  In order to save face, the thief will definitely launch a large-scale attack on us, judging from the deployment of Mangou's troops, it seems that the old thief Oboi has no such plan?"

    "Brother Dajie (Gao Dejie), don't worry." Fatty Lu asked calmly: "My little brother asks you a question. If you lead troops to battle under the order of the prince, what will happen in the nearly four months after you dispatch the troops?  Here, not only did you fail to achieve size, but you also lost consecutive battles and lost cities and lands. How will the prince deal with you? What will your brothers think of you?"

    "Impossible!" Gao Dejie waved his hand again, and said confidently: "It's not that I, Gao Dejie, boasted. Since I joined the army at the age of sixteen and led the army at the age of seventeen, I have never encountered such a situation!  It's because of the lack of troops that we are forced to retreat, and we have to watch hundreds of thousands of heads come back and dedicate them to the prince!"

    "What if?" Fatty Lu asked earnestly: "If Brother Dajie encounters such a situation, how will the prince deal with you? What will the brothers think of you?"

    "If that's the case" Gao Dejie replied ponderingly: "In less than four months, at most three months, the prince will send someone to scold your mother. If it is light, it will be reprimanded, and if it is serious, it will be degraded. As for the brothers  Well, even if they don't dare to say anything, they will look down on me in their hearts, which will have a great impact on the morale and morale of the army."

    "Yes, brother Dajie, you are still like this, let alone old thief Oboi?" Fatty Lu said seriously: "Who is old thief Oboi? Man Gou Taishi, the last general in Man Gou Dynasty, there will be no one in this life  A famous general who has suffered a defeat, even the prince has suffered a big loss under his command twice! It has been exactly four months since he sent troops on the second day of the first lunar month, and he has not won a single battle.  He has suffered a lot in front of him, can he swallow this breath? Isn't he afraid of affecting morale and shaking the morale of the army?"

    Gao Dejie showed some surprise, looked Fatty Lu up and down, and smiled after a while and said: "Brother Yifeng, you are really an old brother. I am more and more impressed with you. In fact, just now when the scouts reported the change of defense of the Mangou army  , I also feel that the situation is a bit bad-Mangou, who had an absolute advantage in troops two days ago, suffered a big loss under our hands.  After joining forces with Yue Le on the front line, nine times out of ten they will launch a strong attack to retaliate against us, but Man Gou just didn't do that, and my brother is also worried that there is something wrong in the process."

    "It's just that what I didn't expect from what I said was that you, a civil servant who has never been on the battlefield, would actually see something strange in it, and come to the same conclusion as my brother, an old man who crawled out of the dead.  Let my brother admire you more and more."

    "Brother Dajie has won the prize, and the younger brother is only based on ordinary people's psychological analysis, so it happened by chance." Fatty Lu pretended to be modest and said: "But when it comes to commanding the front line and rushing into the battle, brother still has a lot to learn from you.  When the time comes, I hope Brother Da Jie will be willing to give me some advice."

    "It's easy to say, as long as there is something you don't understand on the battlefield, just ask my brother." Gao Dejie was quite straightforward, and agreed immediately, and then said: "When our Yunnan-Guizhou army strategically counterattacks in the future,  Is Brother Yifeng interested in teaming up with my brother to form an army and kill all dogs together? With you as my brother's staff, my brother can save a lot of worry."

    "Then it's a deal. We'll form an army and kill all dogs." Fatty Lu was overjoyed, and quickly agreed¡ªwhat is Gao Dejie?  The most dazzling star generals on the anti-Qing battlefield in history, none of the famous generals of the Mite Qing Dynasty have not suffered defeat under his command. To join forces with such a person, of course Fatty Lusp; "Brother Dajie, the situation is not good." Seeing that the situation was not right, Fatty Lu quickly pulled up Dejie's sleeves, and said in a low voice: "Since Mangou dared to send this army to go around, it proves that this army must be extremely elite  , is Mangou¡¯s trump card main force, and it is very difficult to defeat them quickly. And behind us, Mangou cavalry must have been chasing this way. If time drags on for a long time, we will be in danger again.¡±

    "Brother Dajie, I know you have those things with you, but the prince strictly ordered you not to use them until the last moment, so as not to expose your strength in advance." Fatty Lu said quickly: "It is almost a critical moment now, and the sky is completely dark again.  , Man Gou can't see the situation clearly, it's time to use our magic weapon."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Rush up and fight with me!" Zhao Liangdong shouted, wielding his sword, "The road is narrow and the Wugou cavalry can't spread out. Go up and guard the official road, and we will win! Get promoted and get rich, let's fight here, brothers, come with us!"  Lao Tzu rush! Kill a Wu dog, reward a woman, kill¡ª¡ª! The Qing Dynasty will win!"

    "The Great Qing will surely win!" Zhao Liangdong's infantrymen brought by Zhao Liangdong yelled wildly. Taking advantage of their commanding position, they yelled and followed behind Zhao Liangdong.  .  But at that moment, more than 30 cavalrymen of the Wu army suddenly rushed out, shouting "Yungui will win", and threw the black cylinders towards the Qing army. When the cylinders fell, they hit several times.  An unlucky egg white soldier.

    "Son Gao Dejie, are you dizzy? Hit us with such a small stone?" Zhao Liangdong almost didn't laugh out loud, but before Zhao Liangdong could react again, the Qing army suddenly burst into flames and thunder.  , One by one Qing soldiers flew into the air, screaming and fell a few feet away, and many Qing soldiers were simply blown to pieces, leaving no corpses.  Several Qing soldiers were blown off their legs and fell to the ground crying and howling, "Mother, help! Help! Mom¡ª¡ª!"

    "What the hell?!" Zhao Liangdong and countless Qing soldiers screamed.  But before the words fell, screams and screams sounded in the Qing army. It turned out that the soldiers of the Czech army threw some weird cylinders into the Qing army again, and this time the weird cylinders  The explosion was even faster, and it exploded almost as soon as it fell. Amidst the loud noise of the flames, the nearby soldiers of the Qing army were either blown to pieces, or their faces were covered with flowers, crying for their parents and mothers.  Fell in a pool of blood.

    "Here it comes again!" The desperate screams sounded again, and Wu Jun soldiers threw out a third wave of weird cylinders, one of which flew directly towards Zhao Liangdong.  With his soul scattered, Zhao Liangdong grabbed a companion almost subconsciously, and used his body to block in front of him. Immediately afterwards, the cylinder exploded, and the huge sound shook Zhao Liangdong's ears so that the eardrums rang, even those who were nearby  The screams and wailing of the soldiers close at hand could not be heard clearly.

    Shaking his tinnitus-ridden head, Zhao Liangdong let go of the Qing soldier whom he had pulled as a human shield, and found that the front of his body was covered in blood and blood.  A big hole was opened, and the intestines flowed out, and he died on the spot. At the same time, Zhao Liangdong's thigh was also wet a lot. As for whether it was blood or urine, or both, he had to ask Zhao Liangdong himself.

    "Run!" I don't know who took the lead and shouted. The soldiers of the Qing army who were showing off their might just now fled to the mountain, desperately trying to stay away from the terrifying weapons of the Wu army.  Morale was shattered, and they scrambled to be the first to flee, howling ghosts and wolves, and the soldiers of the Wu army took the opportunity to chase and kill them.

    "It's coming again¡ª!" A new scream of despair sounded. Seeing Wu Jun soldiers throwing out mysterious weapons again, Zhao Liangdong, who wanted to make great achievements here before, completely lost his courage. Holding his head still ringing in his ears, he limped  The abductees ran away, and the other Qing warriors also fled faster than the other. The Wu army cavalry took the opportunity to advance, quickly broke through the Qing army's blockade, and successfully arrived at Jiming Pass. Crossing this almost cost the lives of our entire army.  God's Pass.

    "It's coming again!" I don't know if the bombing and shouting were too ecstasy. From that day on, whenever the famous traitor Zhao Liangdong heard the words "Here it is again", the sphincter muscles in his lower body would always expand.  He would twitch and relax like a conditioned reflex, so much so that when Zhao Liangdong led the army alone, he issued a strict order that anyone who said this sentence in front of him would have his head killed!

 Chapter 164

    ?

    There was no sound in the wide and towering gold-encrusted cowhide tent. Hundreds of generals, big and small, and Prince Baylor stood upright, all pointing to the corpses of more than twenty soldiers lying flat in the middle of the tent, and standing with their hands behind their backs.  In front of these corpses is the first brave general of the Qing Dynasty, the first Batulu, the chief assistant and grand master of the dynasty, Obai.  Up to Yue Le and Jie Shu, who are princes, down to ordinary lieutenants and generals, they dare not even take a breath, for fear of disturbing or disturbing this powerful and meritorious commander-in-chief of the whole army.

    The reason why Oboi was so dedicated, of course, was that these Qing soldiers were all killed by the mysterious weapons of the Wu army. The night before, the Qing army's plan to encircle and wipe out the Wu army's Gao Dejie department failed. One of the important reasons was because Gao Dejie  The army used this mysterious firearm to kill Zhao Liangdong's army by surprise and became dizzy. Otherwise, as long as Zhao Liangdong's army took advantage of the favorable location to hold the Gaode Jie army for two hours, the Mite Qing Laita cavalry could rush to the battlefield for reinforcements.  If the established tactical goal of annihilating the Gaode Jiejun is not achieved, the next best thing is to severely injure the Gaode Jiejun, avenge the shame, and at the same time boost morale and stabilize the morale of the army.

    However, neither the main purpose nor the secondary purpose of the Qing army was achieved. What caused this result happened to be the mysterious weapon of the Wu Sangui army that Oboi valued the most.  The corpse of the soldier under the mysterious firearm, can you not carefully explore the course of the battle?

    Judging from the situation at the time and the wounds on the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle, these mite soldiers obviously died of gunpowder explosions. At the same time, judging from the iron sheets and horns dug out from the wounds of the corpses, Wu Jun's weapons are likely to be gunpowder packed into thin iron.  In the tube, light it with fire and throw it out, the gunpowder explodes in the tube, the iron tube shatters and flies around, killing and injuring nearby enemies.  The explosive shells of the Qing army's mother-child artillery are also of this type. Of course Aobai understands the principle, but the only thing Aobai doesn't understand is the explosive power of Wu Jun's gunpowder weapons.

    Judging from the report of Zhao Liangdong and others, Wu Jun's mysterious firearm is not big, about the size of a flagon jug, and its weight is definitely not too heavy. An ordinary soldier can easily throw this weapon two or three times.  ten paces away.  According to common sense, there must not be much gunpowder that can be packed into such a weapon, but the power of the explosion can almost catch up with that used by the Qing army.  And so much so that several corpses were simply blown into limbs, their chests and abdomen were opened, and even their internal organs flowed out. Is this the power that an explosion of one or two catties of gunpowder can produce?

    "Report to the grand master, the craftsmen have rushed to make what you want." The voice of the Chinese military guard Hadaha broke the silence in the tent, and he knelt down on one knee in front of Oboi.  Lang Sheng said: "According to the grand master's instructions, one of these two iron cylinders contains three catties of gunpowder, and the other contains two catties of gunpowder. A straw man has been set up outside the tent to test the power of the explosion at any time."  .¡±

    Ao Bai didn't answer, just picked up the small iron tube first, and after weighing the weight, Ao Bai frowned quickly - even the medicine belt tube was too heavy, throwing it thirty steps away, with a thick waist and round arms  Hercules can do it, but it is very difficult for ordinary soldiers.  But Aobai refused to give up, and turned to Zhao Liangdong who was next to him and asked, "Qingzhi, take a look, how does it compare with the Wu Jun firearm you saw the night before yesterday?"

    "Back to Grand Master, Wu Gou's firearm is not that big." Zhao Liangdong replied tremblingly: "It was dark and he couldn't see clearly, but the general can still be sure that it is not that big, it should be smaller, maybe only half the size."

    "Grand Master, could it be because our craftsmen rushed to make it, and the iron cylinder is thicker, so it is big and heavy?" Yue Le asked.

    Obai picked up another fragment of Wu Jun's weapon, compared the thickness, and found that the fragment of Wu Jun's weapon was indeed thinner. He couldn't help but ignited the last ray of hope, and ordered: "Then try to blow it up, come out and go to the scene  Take a look."

    All the generals of Chiqing agreed together, and hurriedly surrounded Oboi to the experiment field on the right side of the big tent, lit a fire in the open space full of straw people, and detonated the two iron cylinders containing two catties of black powder and three catties of black powder one after another  , the result was naturally disappointing to Oboi. Even the iron cylinder with three catties of powder only blasted the wall of the cylinder into more than a dozen pieces, knocking down a few straw people around, and it was far from reaching the level of Wu Jun's firearms.  Effect.  As for the iron cylinder containing two catties of powder, it simply exploded the iron cylinder into four or five pieces, knocking down the two straw men around it.

    Seeing that the imitation explosive tube made by the craftsmen of the Qing army had only such an effect, Yue Le, who had had a glimmer of hope before, could no longer speak.  Puzzled, he said: "Wu Sangui's lackeys can use magic spells? How can their firearms be so powerful?"

    "Idiot!" Aobai shouted coldly: "It's come to this point, what's the matter?Only one life.  "

    "Tutang, you misunderstood, the emperor really didn't give me such a secret decree." Yue Le was angry and funny, and said in a low voice: "If Tutang doesn't believe it, Xiao Wang can also swear to Tianming.  Conceal the slightest bit, let Xiao Wang die under the knife and arrow, and never stand up!"

    Speaking of this, Yue Le lowered his voice again, and said with a wry smile: "Besides, you also know Tutang, although I am the emperor's pro-cousin, but in the court, I am not as good as you in Tutang - the former emperor would rather  Tuoguyu outsiders don't need me, so how could the emperor give me such a secret decree?"

    What Yue Le said was the truth. In the Qing court, he was indeed not as popular as Tu Hai before he lost power. The suspicion and exclusion he received were deeper than Tu Hai. How could Xiao Mazi hand over such an important and confidential matter to him?  give him?  After Tu Hai considered this point, he quickly said suspiciously: "Since the secret decree is not with you, Prince An, will it be with Prince Kang and Prince Shun?"

    "I don't know about that." Yue Le spread his hands, and comforted him: "Tutang, don't think too much, the emperor released Wu Yingxiong and reinstated him, maybe it was because Wu Yingxiong has always treated us in the Qing court.  Because of his loyalty. As you know in Tutang, when the old thief Wu Sangui sent people to Beijing to pick up Wu Yingxiong, Wu Yingxiong did not betray the Qing court. Perhaps the emperor released Wu Yingxiong and rewarded him for the sake of this.  Return his official position."

    "Prince An, if it's really that simple." Tu Hai said with a wry smile, "You and I both know the relationship between Taishi Ao and the emperor, and what Tu Hai dare not lie to the prince is that the emperor has actually  Putting an insider next to Taishi Ao is to guard against Taishi Ao. The monarch and ministers are so suspicious, what else can happen?"

    Yue Le was silent, and soon understood the real intention of Tu Hai's sudden visit to him, and at the same time, he also felt a sense of contempt for Tu Hai - no matter what, Tu Hai was rescued from the prison by Oboi  , to help Tuhai get rid of the prison where he was tortured every day, even if he didn't repay him, now that Xiao Mazi had just revealed a little intention to target Aobai, Tuhai immediately wanted to get closer to the imperial party, and maybe even wanted to make him  The benefactor sold it in exchange for his own glory and wealth. This kind of character is really too noble.

    "No, I have to see Prince Kang." Tu Hai gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice: "Prince An, are you going? He is also your cousin, so it's easier to talk."

    "I won't go." Yue Le shook his head and replied: "Whether Jie Shu has such a secret edict in his hand or not, I'm not interested. Now I just want to kill Wu Sangui as soon as possible, and get rid of this real confidant for the emperor.  Big trouble."

    "Prince An, it's true that the old thief Wu Sangui is the emperor's real confidant." Tu Hai didn't notice the contempt shown by Yue Le at all, and even persuaded him: "But if the emperor doesn't want to deal with Wu Sangui now, but wants to get rid of him."  Another confidant's serious trouble, if you are on the wrong team, my lord, you will lose all chances."

    "Get out! Get out immediately!" Yue Le was furious, pointed at the door and roared, "Get out now, you like to stand in line and stand by yourself, I, Yue Le, have no interest in that! Get out!"

    Tu Hai's face turned pale, and he finally realized that his shameless act had completely angered the upright Yue Le. When he wanted to explain, he was stared at by Yue Le, who was so frightened that he dared not speak.  Leaving in embarrassment, Yue Le spat heavily at his back, cursing: "Shameless!"

    Furiously, he walked around the room for a long time with his hands behind his back, hesitating whether he should send a memorial to Xiao Mazi, asking Xiao Mazi to put Wu Yingxiong back in prison or to behead him, when the soldiers suddenly came in from the door and said yes  When Aobai summoned him, Yue Le didn't dare to neglect, he hurriedly changed his clothes and left the city, and went all the way to the big tent of Aobai's Chinese army outside the city.  When he entered the big tent again, he saw Oboi sitting alone on the handsome chair, Yue Le hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Little Wang Yue Le, I have been ordered to meet the Grand Master."

    Oboi, who usually doesn't pay much attention to etiquette, was uncharacteristically this time, as if he didn't hear Yue Le's voice, he didn't ask Yue Le to get up for a long time.  Curious in his heart, Yue Le raised his head quietly, and when he carefully looked at the expression on Oboi's face, he saw that Oboi was also holding the mansion newspaper in his hand, and on his cheeks covered with thick beards, it had hung up at some point.  I shed two turbid old tears

    "Grand Master" Yue Le had a sore nose and repeated, choking with sobs: "Little Wang Yue Le, I was ordered to meet the Grand Master of the Qing Dynasty." (To be continued.

    ?

    "Little Wang Yuele, I have been ordered to meet the Great Master of the Qing Dynasty."

    Hearing Yue Le's slightly choked greeting voice for the second time, Oboi, who was in a state of despondency, finally came to his senses, quickly wiped away the muddy old tears on his face, cleared his throat, and replied, "Prince An doesn't have to."  How polite, please get up quickly. Come and set up a seat for Prince An."

    "Teacher Xie." Yue Le agreed to get up, but did not sit down, but asked tentatively: "Master, today you suddenly summoned Xiao Wang, could it be because of the emperor's release of Wu Yingxiong that was published in the mansion newspaper today?"

    Obai's expression dimmed again. After hesitating for a moment, Obai finally nodded, admitted that it was indeed because of this matter that Yue Le was summoned urgently, and asked: "Prince An, you are the prince and the emperor's relative.  Uncle Tang, who has the most contact with the emperor, I asked you something truthfully, I hope you can answer truthfully, can you?"

    "Does the grand master want to ask, does Xiao Wang have the emperor's secret decree in his hand?" Yue Le asked tentatively.

    "Of course not." Aobai shook his head resolutely, and said in a deep voice: "Prince An, I don't think it's strange to be blunt. With the emperor's suspicion of you over the years, even if there is a secret decree, he will not issue it to you. Especially the secret decree for the old man.  The emperor will only award it to Leerjin, Labu, Jieshu, and even Tuhai, and will definitely not award it to you¡ªthis old man knows our emperor very well.  "

    "Grand Master Xie is considerate, that's exactly the case." Yue Le's heart suddenly felt a warm current, it was Oboi who understood him, Xiao Mazi and Xiao Mazi's father had treated him like he was guarding against thieves and robbers all these years, forcing him to pinch him  Being a man with his tail on his back, how could he entrust himself with such a secret matter as dealing with Oboi in the capital?  Moved, Yue Le hurriedly asked again: "Then I don't know what the grand master wants to ask, but Xiao Wang must know everything and say everything."

    "This is the best." Obai showed some smiles, and hurriedly asked: "Prince An, the old man asked you, during the time you wrote and exchanged letters with the emperor, did the emperor reveal that he had made peace with the old thief Wu Sangui in private?  Meaning? Or is there any intention to appease the old thief Wu Sangui?"

    "No!" Yue Le categorically denied it, and replied categorically: "Xiao Wang can swear to the sky, in the correspondence between the emperor and Xiao Wang, there has never been a single word mentioning such meaning!"

    "Is that so?" Obai frowned, tapped the table with his fingers, and said to himself: "Could it be that the emperor saw that the battle was not going well, so he temporarily decided to reserve a way out, and laid down a plan to negotiate with the old thief Wu Sangui?"  A foreshadowing of harmony? Or the emperor is also deeply guarded against you, deliberately not revealing the slightest word of mouth in front of you?"

    "Teacher, don't worry so much." Yue Le comforted, "In Xiao Wang's opinion, there is another possibility for this matter, that is, the emperor thinks that Wu Yingxiong is his uncle, or because of Wu Yingxiong's respect for the Qing Dynasty.  The imperial court was loyal and refused to betray the imperial court and abscond from Beijing, so it graciously released Wu Yingxiong from prison and rewarded him with his official post. Perhaps the emperor wanted to set a benchmark and let the generals and officials of Yunnan and Guizhou understand that as long as they are loyal to the Qing court, the emperor can do it.  Letting go of the past makes it easier for our army to appease the enemy and appease the people."

    "Is our emperor such a magnanimous person?" Obai asked back.

    Yue Le was speechless, Xiao Mazi was tolerant on the outside but jealous on the inside, black-bellied and suspicious, vicious and cunning, just because Wu Yingxiong refused to obey Wu Sangui's order to escape from Beijing and let him live, the possibility of this is too pitifully small  up.  As for making use of the release of Wu Yingxiong to appease the generals of the Yunnan-Guizhou rebel army, there was not a single word mentioned in the mansion newspaper. Such a good opportunity to show grace was refused to take advantage of, which proved that Xiao Mazi had no such good intentions at all.

    After repeated calculations for a long time, Yue Le had to cup his hands again and said: "Tai Shi, the intention of the emperor's move is really hard to guess. In Xiao Wang's opinion, instead of being suspicious and shaking the morale of the army, it is better to directly present a memorial to oppose the emperor's move."  For example, ask the emperor to re-imprison Wu Yingxiong or directly behead him to stabilize the army. In this way, even if the emperor refuses, we can understand the emperor's intentions, and then adapt to the situation and formulate countermeasures."

    Aobai hesitated, then reluctantly nodded for a moment, and said: "Then let's do it this way, but I don't want to play this memorial, please ask Prince An to go up for the old man, state your interests to the emperor, and ask the emperor to put Wu Yingxiong back in prison, so as to test him out  What is the real intention of the emperor?"

    "The grand master ordered, Xiao Wang dare not obey?" Yue Le agreed, and then asked cautiously: "However, the grand master is the commander-in-chief of the whole army, and it is bound to be better to perform this performance in person. Why should Xiao Wang  How about the deputy?"

    Aobai hesitated again, and then slowly said after a long while: "The emperor has always hated this old man, and his defense against this old man is even higher than that of the San Francisco. If this old man plays his watch, I'm afraid it will backfire, and it will further strengthen the old villain's words between the emperor and Wu Sangui.  and determination. So this matterShan, in addition to touting Fatty Lu's stunning talent, he also asked himself to find a secluded place to meet and discuss important matters. In addition, he provided contact methods and secret channels for exchanging news.

    "Door-to-door delivery? It's God helping me!" Although it wasn't clear what Yue Le's purpose was for meeting him, but after reading the letter, Fatty Lu jumped three feet high with joy, and quickly ordered: "  Uncle Shao, stop writing, hurry up, change the name of the person receiving the decree to Yue Le, Prince An of Mangou, and keep the rest of the content unchanged."

    "Changed to Yue Le?" Wang Shaobo hesitated, and hurriedly said: "Boss, if my student remembers correctly, when you commented on the enemy generals, you have repeatedly emphasized that among the enemy troops, the most dangerous full-fledged generals except Ao  Besides, this Yue Le is the most difficult to deal with, the most calm and wise, shrewd and capable, and has the most overall view. Even Man Gou Tuhai, who hates your boss to the bone, can't match him. If you fight against your boss, you may succeed  Is it?"

    "It's because Yue Le is the most difficult to deal with, calm and wise, shrewd and capable, and has the best view of the overall situation." Fatty Lu slapped the table heavily, and said decisively: "So this time, we will have the greatest chance of success if we start with him.  !"

    "What's the truth?" Wang Shaobo was confused by Fatty Lu's contradictory words. Why is it that Yue Le is the most shrewd and capable, calm and wise, but the easiest to fall for?

 Chapter 166 Fatty Combination Fist

    ?

    Fatty Lu agreed to meet with him in secret, which was far beyond Prince An Yue Le's expectations - in Yue Le's calculation, if he wanted to recruit Fatty Lu, a pillar of the country with both civil and military skills, he would have to pay ten times as much.  Because of the patience and perseverance of others, it took countless twists and turns, painstaking efforts, and persuasive persuasion to have a little hope to pull this rare talent who was once neglected by himself and Oboi away from Wu Sangui.  Even if he wanted to have an open and honest face-to-face conversation with Fatty Lu, he would have to spend countless hours and tongues to express his sincerity. Only by gaining Fatty Lu's trust would he have a chance to achieve his goal. However, Fatty Lu agreed now, which made Yue Le feel extremely uncomfortable  Unexpected and born a little worried.

    If it were another general, the process of recruiting Fatty Lu was so smooth and easy, he would definitely be suspicious, but he would not dare to agree to a private meeting with Fatty Lu easily¡ªif Fatty Lu cheated, it would be a matter of life and death  big problem now.  But it's a pity that Fatty Lu expected that Yue Le, who was most admired by Fatty Lu among the kings of the Qing Dynasty, didn't think so. He felt that since Fatty Lu agreed so readily, if he refused again, he would definitely  Being ridiculed by Fatty Lu, Fatty Lu's heart of surrender and sincerity was almost chilled, and the last hope of recruiting Fatty Lu was completely cut off.

    Moreover, Fatty Lu's meeting place and method are also very fair. Both sides will bring 20 guards each, and are not allowed to carry long-range weapons such as bows, arrows and muskets. They will meet at Tiger Rock, five miles northwest of Jiaoxi Pass. Relatively speaking, Yue Le  On the contrary, he still took advantage of it, which indirectly proved that Fatty Lu really wanted to meet Yue Le, rather than trying to play any tricks.  So Yue Lesi thought about it, but in the end, he still didn't listen to the kind dissuasion from Aobai and others, he gritted his teeth and agreed to Fatty Lu's request!

    Once a strong-willed person like Yue Le made up his mind, even Obai would not be able to persuade him to stop him. At the same time, in view of the fact that Obai also urgently needed to grasp the true strength of the Wu Sangui Army's firearms troops, and he was extremely envious of the great power of Wu Sangui's new firearms, so  After repeated dissuasion by Aobai to no avail, he finally agreed to Yue Le's request to meet with Fatty Lu. In addition, he selected ten best soldiers from his personal team to give to Yue Le, and they helped Yue Le  His personal soldiers escorted Yue Le to Tiger Rock to meet with Fatty Lu, and finally sent an elite cavalry to ambush at Jiaoxi Pass, just in case.

    After everything was ready, on the evening of April 23rd, Yue Le led twenty guards to the Tiger Rock Mountain, which looked like a fierce tiger. After careful search and no ambush, three red lanterns were lit.  , spread a carpet and set up a low table, and lit an oil lamp on the low table, waiting patiently for Fatty Lu's arrival.  And about half an hour later, when the sky was about to be completely dark, the sentinel flew to report to Yue Le, saying that four knights were found in the southwest, also carrying three red lanterns, and they were rushing here.

    "Only four people?" Yue Le was taken aback, wondering what the hell Fatty Lu was doing, he agreed to bring twenty guards each, why did he bring three followers?  Got the three red lanterns representing the contact code?

    What surprised Yue Le was still behind. Taking advantage of the rising bright moon and the open terrain, Yue Le quickly saw clearly that among the four knights who came, one of them was really Fatty Lu¡ªno way  , Fatty Lu's figure is too recognizable.  Surprised, Yue Le hurriedly sent guards to check whether Fatty Lu and the others were carrying illegal weapons as agreed, and Fatty Lu also sent a young man with sly eyebrows to check whether the guards of Yue Le were carrying bows and arrows and  Long-range weapons such as muskets, it wasn't until both sides found out that the other party kept the promise that Fatty Lu got off his horse and came to Yue Le with the three followers.

    Fatty Lu's three attendants are all very distinctive. The young man who inspected the weapon is pretty, but his face has a wretched look that makes people feel like a mouse-eye. The other one is dark, fat and short.  The little fat man still had a silly smile on his face all the time, and the last one was simply cross-eyed, which made Yue Le secretly admire Fatty Lu¡ªwhere on earth did he find so many top-quality followers?  Under admiration, Yue Le couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Master Lu, didn't you agree to bring twenty entourages each? Why are you so entrusted with bringing only three entourages, so you won't be afraid that Xiao Wang will make a sudden move to attract the crowd?"  Ling widow?"

    "Using the crowd to bully the widowed? Just you few useless followers, isn't it enough to put Fang Shiyu and Hong Xi official in the teeth?" Fatty Lu sneered in his heart, but said with great respect on his mouth: "Prince An is joking, if the prince  People who bully widows and treacherous people dare not come here because of their humble positions. It is also because the prince is a humble gentleman who keeps his promises, and he is a man who is humble and trustworthy. In order to show respect to the prince, the subordinate officials decided to bring only three  Followers, to show the sincerity of humble duty."

    "Okay, Lu Yifeng, a savage, is very sincere.""Young master, is this the end? The little ones saw that you didn't talk much to Yue Le?"

    "For a smart person like Yue Le, the more he talks, the harder it is for him to believe." Fatty Lu sneered and replied: "On the contrary, it is so concise and vague that he can suspect and analyze by himself, but he is easy to believe."

    "Young master, will Yue Le listen to the secret decree and kill Oboi?" Xiao Erlang asked.

    "Of course not." Fatty Lu said firmly: "Who is Yue Le? He would launch a mutiny to kill the commander of the entire army because of a secret edict of unknown origin? Besides, can the false secret edict be hidden from him?  Eyes are probably a problem."

    "No?!" Xiao Erlang screamed like killing a pig, "Then why are you bothering so much, young master? You still take such a big risk and run to Tiger Rock in the middle of the night to meet Lord Mangou? What's the use?"

    "What's the use? It's very useful!" Fatty Lu laughed wickedly, and said with a ferocious expression: "I bet, as long as that false imperial decree can be hidden from Yue Le's eyes, with his character and the overall situation, not only will he not  Lead the decree to kill Oboi! On the contrary - I will also hand over this secret edict to Oboi!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 167 This is a fake edict

    ?

    "Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: Taishi Oboi, long-term blessing of heaven, extremely noble salary, shade to his children and grandchildren, but he does not want to repay, is insane, bullies heaven and earth, roars at the court, harms living beings, is ruthless,  The crimes are clear! The state of being a captive, polluting the country and harming the people, poisoning people and ghosts, is unforgivable! Command Dingyuan Pingkou General and Prince An Yue Le to capture and kill this beast.  The military power of the Southern Army, restraining the officers and soldiers, rectifying military discipline, striking peace with Prince Wu Sangui of Pingxi, stopping fighting, and repaying the mighty grace of heaven in Yunnan and Guizhou! Aobai's party members, Yue Le can judge the situation, cut first and play later, and deal with it all by Yue Le on behalf of heaven  Reward and punishment! Here!"

    After reading this murderous little pockmarked secret decree, Yue Le's first reaction was not to question the authenticity of this secret decree, but to feel dizzy for a while, knowing that what he was most worried about and feared had finally happened, and then he tried to calm down  Mood, carefully check whether this secret decree is true or not¡ªit can¡¯t be helped, I really can¡¯t blame Yue Le for being reckless and credulous.  The previous conflict with Aobai was too intense and sharp, Fatty Lu's tricks to disturb the morale of Qing Qing's army were too wicked and insidious, and Yue Le had completely preconceived it.

    Fatty Lu and Wang Shaobo jointly forged the secret decree, whether it is perfect, whether it can be hidden from the eyes of old foxes like Yue Le and Aobai, Fatty Lu himself is not perfect, but in the dark and blind wilderness,  It's really hard for Yue Le to tell the real from the fake with the moonlight in the sky and the few lights.  So after checking and checking, Yue Le can only come to one conclusion - this secret decree, no matter the handwriting, shading, color, seal, or even the ink used to seal it, looks very real!

    "No, you can't trust it." Yue Le rolled up the secret decree of the jade scroll and golden book, and secretly comforted himself: "Handwriting can be imitated, and jade seal can be forged.  There are also samples from the old thief Wu Sangui. As long as you are willing to spend money, it is not difficult to imitate them. But the fake ones will never be real. When you return to Huangzhou, find a place with good light and check the authenticity carefully.  , as long as it is fake, we will be able to find flaws."

    "My lord, we should go." Yue Le's soldiers urged: "It's too dangerous here, if the ambushes of Wu Sangui's bandit army suddenly break out, it's nothing to hurt the servants, but if you hurt your golden branch and jade body, my lord  They're going to die."

    "I know." Yue Le, who was in a bad mood, did not agree angrily, stuffed the secret decree into his arms, and ordered: "Go, go back to Huangzhou City overnight."

    Returning to Huangzhou from Laohuyan must pass through Jiaoxi Pass and Jiming Pass, but fortunately, the Gaode Jie army had already burned and abandoned these two passes when they retreated westward.  The pass was already under the control of the Qing army. At the same time, Oboi sent a team of elite cavalry to ambush in Jiaoxi Pass to meet Yue Le. Yue Le's team had just returned to the pass.  The cavalry came out immediately and escorted Yue Le back to a safe place.

    During this period, Ladaha had to ask Yue Le about the result of the conversation with Fatty Lu, but Yue Le was in a panic at the moment, and he didn't dare to tell him the details of the process, so he just vaguely ordered to return to Huangzhou quickly, so as not to cause trouble.  However, Ladaha didn't dare to ask any more questions, but led his 800 cavalry to surround Yue Le and hurried eastward, returning overnight to the Qing army's Huangzhou Camp outside Yuping Pass.

    The way back went smoothly at first, and it didn't take long to pass through the Jiming Pass and return to the relatively open territory of Sizhou Prefecture. However, at midnight, when Yue Le's team was about to reach the city of Sizhou,  A Qing army of about 2,000 troops suddenly appeared from the city of Zhou, and with densely packed torches, they blocked the way of Yue Le's team.  What surprised Yue Le even more was that the leader of this Sizhou Qing army was none other than Aixinjueluo Leerjin, the forward commander of the Qing army stationed in Sizhou!

    "What's up with Le Erjin? I went to Jiaoxi Pass for business, and I informed him beforehand? What are you doing stopping me?" Yue Le was puzzled, and hurried out of the crowd, showing his badge and official documents, and shouting  He shouted: "Prince Shunjun, don't get me wrong. I'm Prince An, Yue Le. I was ordered to go to Jiaoxi Pass on business. Now that the errands are completed, I'm going back to Huangzhou Daying to do business. Don't get me wrong."

    "Nephew Le Erjin, please greet my uncle." Daishan's great-grandson, Le Erjin, who is two generations shorter than Yue Le, came out of the crowd wearing armor, and immediately cupped his hands to Yue Le and said: "My nephew is in armor, so it is inconvenient to salute.  , please forgive me, uncle."

    "The King of Shunjun doesn't need to be too polite. In the army, there is no need to tell each other's seniority." Yue Le cupped his hands and returned the salute, and said, "King of Shunjun, I have sent someone to inform you before that I have been ordered by the Grand Master to go to Guan Gong.  Now that I have finished my errands and am going to go back to work, why did you lead your army to stop me in the middle of the night?"

    ?He was imprisoned and ordered to summon the Sizhou garrison back to the city. At the same time, he sent a fast horse to Beijing to report the situation, preparing to defend Sizhou and wait for Xiao Mazi's reinforcements.  On the second day, after receiving the news, Oboi was furious, and indeed he personally brought an army into Guizhou, surrounded the city of Sizhou, and vowed to kill this rebel army.

    At noon on April 24th in the eleventh year of Kangmazi in the Qing Dynasty, Oboi's army encircled Sizhou City. Afterwards, Oboi sent envoys to the city to call out, demanding that the troops in the city put down their weapons and leave the city to surrender, and also demanded that Le Erjin release Yue Le.  Only then can Le Erjin be spared from death.  Although Le Erjin tried his best to stop the shouting and boost morale, but his appeal and influence among the Qing army were far inferior to Obai's, and his morale was low because of his unknown name.  The soldiers simply hacked and killed the gatekeepers, rushed out of the city gate and surrendered to Obai.

    As a result, around Shen time in the afternoon, most of the 30,000 Qing troops in Sizhou City escaped completely, and most of those who did not escape died tragically under the guns of Oboi's counter-insurgency army, leaving less than 500 soldiers.  Surrounded by Le Erjin and Yue Le, the human Qing army retreated to the south gate tower of Sizhou, and was surrounded by Oboi's main force of hundreds of thousands inside and outside the city.

    "Little Leerjin, put down Prince An, I will spare you!" Obai shouted out in person, brandishing a ghost knife and shouting, "If you dare to hurt a single hair of Prince An, I promise you will regret being born into this world  !"

    "Le Erjin, surrender!" Yue Le also yelled, "This king will guarantee you with his personality, and he will definitely protect you from death in front of the grand master, otherwise, you will really die!"

    Everyone is enemies, there is no way to go to the sky, no way to go to the earth, Le Erjin really wants to die with Yue Le, but considering his beautiful wife and concubine in the capital, Le Erjin can say anything  Not sure about this decision.  But at this moment of dilemma, another group of troops rushed in from outside the Qing army, and the leader shouted from a distance, "Grand Master, Prince An, stop fighting, you have been fooled! You all  be cheated!"

    "Lu Zhen?" Aobai turned his head to look carefully, and couldn't help but be taken aback. It turned out that the man who rushed to the horse and yelled at him was actually Lu Zhen, the governor of Pianyuan who was supposed to be stationed in Changsha to transport grain and grass.

    "Don't fight, don't fight at all!" Lu Zhen rushed up to the city tower of Sizhou almost scrambling, handed a mansion report to Oboi, and shouted in a crying voice: "Grand Master, you have been fooled!"  , Your Majesty didn't release Wu Yingxiong at all, the mansion report that appeared in your army was replaced by someone, it's a fake! This is the real mansion report!"

    "What?!" The thick-backed broadsword in Oboi's hand fell to the ground with a slam, and he yelled in disbelief, "The residence report is fake? How do you know?!"

    "It's a fake!" Lu Zhen replied with a sad face: "Chen Wudian, the prefect of Yuanzhou, is a student of the humble official. He also received the fake residence report and mentioned this matter to the official in the letter. The official knew that the matter was important, so he hurried  Bring the report from the real mansion and report it to the grand master and compare it! The emperor has a holy candle, and he didn't put any Wu Yingxiong at all!"

    "What?!" This time the person who yelled was replaced by Le Erjin, and the steel knife placed on Yue Le's neck also fell with a bang, and he said in a daze: "Is the mansion report fake? The emperor didn't release Wu Yingxiong? So what?"  Say, the emperor didn't even think about negotiating peace with Wu Sangui?"

    "Ah!" Yue Le yelled hysterically, "Grand Master, we've been tricked again! Lu Yifeng, it's probably this fat savage again! He played us so badly! So miserable!  ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª!¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 168 Can't Take It Anymore

    ?

    "Reporting to the grand master, according to the statistics of the local governor Lu Zhongcheng, in the province of Pianyuan (Hunan), only the three state government offices of Chenzhou, Yuanzhou and Huangzhou have received fake residence reports! In addition,  The other prefectures and counties in Pianyuan have not found a fake residence report yet!"

    After listening to Yue Le's loud performance, Oboi closed his daunting big copper bell eyes, and said after a short while: "So, Wu Sangui's rebellious bandits are from Changde Mansion to Chenzhou Mansion.  Did the post station in between? Or bribe the post envoy, or sneak into the post station and report the real mansion?"

    "According to common sense, it should be so. Xiao Wang has ordered Lu Zhongcheng to investigate in detail, hoping to find out the truth as soon as possible." Yue Le replied respectfully.

    Aobai nodded, then suddenly smiled, and said in pain and admiration: "To be honest, this old man really admires this fat man Lu, who can come up with a trick of changing the mansion and playing tricks, not only fooling the old man, but also  It also deceived all the soldiers of our Qing army, and made everyone believe it. Fortunately, the main force of the old thief Wu Sangui is still in the Anshun area.  It¡¯s a big deal.¡±

    "To be honest, Xiao Wang also admires Lu Yifeng, a barbarian." Yue Le agreed very depressed: "Xiao Wang can be regarded as having read the annals of history and fought for a long time, but since ancient times, this is the first time Xiao Wang has heard of Lu Yifeng.  Someone can actually send an idea to the mansion newspaper. Although this thing is inconspicuous, it has a huge impact, is extremely confusing, and is extremely easy to forge.  It caused us to lose thousands of soldiers and horses!"

    "Has the battle damage statistics of the Sizhou battlefield been calculated?" Obai asked casually, "How many troops have we lost? How many soldiers?"

    "The statistics are out." Yue Le hesitated for a moment, and then he said hesitantly: "Our army lost more than 1,800 soldiers, more than 300 horses, and the loss of military equipment, money and food can't be counted. According to the scout report  According to the report, after Gao Dejie's bandit army found out that our arms were merged, they once came to Jiaoxi Pass to fish in troubled waters. Fortunately, the grand master had taken precautions, and Lu Zhongcheng appeared in time to reveal the answer, prompting Leerjin to put down his weapons and surrender to plead guilty, otherwise  ,the consequences are even more unimaginable."

    An enemy was not injured, just because a fledgling battlefield rookie used tricks, his own people fought happily, lost nearly two thousand troops and countless weapons, money and food, and almost caused princes like Yue Le and Leerjin to be killed.  Wang was confused and died tragically.  Faced with such a result, even though Oboi was mature and prudent, he could not hold back his anger at this moment, he slapped his palm on the table angrily, and said bitterly: "When the old man defeats Wu Ni and captures Lu Yifeng alive  Dog thief, he must be hacked into pieces, his body cut into pieces, and Yixue is a great shame!"

    "Grand Master, what should we do next?" Yue Le said worriedly: "Since the grand master's southern expedition on the second day of the first lunar month, our army has lost consecutive battles in front of Wu Sangui's 5,000 vanguard army of rebels, and now we are thinking again."  With such a big movement in the state, the morale of the army is almost on the verge of collapse, and if we don't think of any way to save the morale, I'm afraid there will be chaos sooner or later?"

    "With an old man sitting in town, what kind of chaos can there be?" Obai said proudly: "Forcing and luring the old thief Wu Sangui to go out to the decisive battle in Guizhou is the fundamental strategy of the old man, and we will never allow it to be changed!  Don¡¯t change your mind! Continue to stand still, blockade Yunnan and Guizhou, and force the old thief Wu Sangui out of Guizhou!¡±

    "Grand Master, Xiao Wang firmly supports and supports your strategy. But" Yue Le hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth and returned to the big tent door, raising the curtain of the big tent¡ªoutside the big tent, hundreds of  Ji Qing's generals knelt so densely that the road was completely blocked.  Seeing that the curtain was lifted, these generals hurriedly begged in unison, "I implore the Grand Master to be merciful outside the law, and spare the life of Prince Shunjun, and allow him to make amends!"

    "Teacher, have you seen it?" Yue Le put down the curtain, and asked with a wry smile: "They have been kneeling since the morning, and none of them is willing to leave. The morale of the army is so flustered, how can the grand master continue to block Yungui, and  Old thief Wu Sangui is patient?"

    "Let them kneel down, even if they kneel until tomorrow morning, I will never let that bastard Le Erjin go!"  Hang his dog's head on the gate! The old man wants to see, after the old man kills Le Erjin, who would dare to disobey the old man's command?"

    "Leerjin listened to one side and believed it, didn't distinguish the truth from the fake, joined forces in private, scattered the morale of the army, and eventually led to internal strife in our army. He really deserves death." Yue Le nodded, and said cautiously: "But Xiao Wang thinks that Leerjin  Although the approach is wrong, but the starting point is still good, it is because of being too loyal to the emperor, loyal to the court, and worried about rebellion in our army, which led to the later results. Xiao Wang boldly begged, hoping that the grand master will see it in the future.The fault is Xiao Wang alone, please don't blame Le Erjin, Grand Master.  "

    To Yue Le's surprise, the violent storm in his imagination did not appear. On the contrary, Oboi had a dejected and old look on his face. After he pulled a chair and sat down, after a long time, Oboi  Then he said slowly: "Prince An, get up, you are not at fault in this matter, and Le Erjin is also right. The only person who is at fault is the old man himself."

    "Grand Master, how can you say that?" Yue Le shed tears, walked up to Oboi a few steps, choked up and said, "Grand Master, this matter has nothing to do with you, it was Xiao Wang who pretended to be clever to recruit that barbarian Lu Yifeng,  It was Xiao Wang's fault that he fell into his trick and led to today's dilemma."

    "Prince An, the old man is not being humble. It is indeed the old man's mistake." Ao Bai stretched out his big hand full of calluses and wrinkles, stroked Yue Le's bald forehead, and said weakly: "The old man was wrong from the beginning.  I overestimated myself, thinking that as long as I serve the country loyally and serve the emperor with sincerity, all evils will surely disappear, the demons bow their heads, and the rumors cannot be ignored, so I formulated a conservative strategy to force the old thief Wu Sangui out of Guizhou for a decisive battle. However, the old man was wrong.  The old man overestimated himself and underestimated the enemy, and that's why the enemy pushed the old man to the cusp of the storm."

    "Of course." Speaking of this, Oboi smiled bitterly, and said: "If the old man is just Wu Sangui's old thief, and his gang of strategists who only know how to fight, then even if the old man is wrong, he may not lose. But the old man  What I didn't expect was that Lu Yifeng's barbarian, who was ignored and indulged by the old man back then, turned out to be the natural enemy and nemesis of the old man. He desperately caught the only weakness of the old man, and tried every means to hit the old man's vital points.  .¡±

    "Grand Master" Yue Le was moved in his heart, and wept loudly: "Grand Master, why doesn't the Emperor understand your painstaking efforts towards the Emperor and your loyalty to the Great Qing Dynasty? If the Emperor can give you more  Support, less restraints and precautions, how can the grand master not fall into the current dilemma."

    "It's all the same. Doesn't he not understand your loyalty and painstaking efforts to the emperor?" Obai smiled even more bitterly, and said in a low voice: "Actually, to be honest, Prince An, whether the imperial decree is true or not, the old man is also there  Doubt! The emperor wants to get rid of the old man, it is not a day or two, the old man is also worried and suspicious."

    Yue Le's tears flowed even more, he didn't understand the unresolvable conflict between Aobai and Xiao Mazi, but felt more sympathy.  And Aobai said to himself: "Perhaps, this is destined. The emperor is ambitious, and he wants to create a prosperous Kangxi era. He is eager for success. The old man has a high position and authority, and his temper is not good enough. He wants to be Yi Yin."  Duke Zhou, I can't see the emperor's extreme and radical methods. Personalities are diametrically opposed, ambitions run counter to each other, contradictions cannot be reconciled, and it is inevitable that others will take advantage of the loopholes."

    "Grand Master!" Yue Le wailed, and hugged Oboi's legs with his arms, and pressed his cheek on Oboi's thighs, weeping bitterly.

    "Okay, don't cry, get up." Aobai patted Yue Le's head and said calmly: "We are full of men, we bleed but don't shed tears, even if you cry here until dawn, you won't die from crying, old thief Wu Sangui, cry  Don't die Lu Yifeng's bastard, let alone cry over the conflict between the old man and the emperor, stand up."

    Anyway, Yue Le finally held back his tears, stood up wiping his tears, choked up and asked, "Grand Master, what should we do now?"

    "You don't need to chase after your memorial. Let's temporarily stabilize the morale of the army and stop the spread of rumors." Obai said word by word: "Also, order the whole army to set up camp tomorrow and march towards the hinterland of Guizhou to fight with Wu Sangui.  Old thief, fight to the death!"

    "Teacher, have you decided to give up the established strategy?" Yue Le asked tremblingly.

    "This old man can't take it anymore." Obai said slowly, "If this old man sticks to the established strategy, Wu Sangui, the old thief, will definitely kill the old man's weakness, and continue to make use of the conflict between the old man and the emperor to make a big fuss. After a long time, we  As long as the emperor wavers a little, our 240,000 army will collapse! The old thief Wu Sangui took the opportunity to go north, causing more and greater losses to our Daqing Jiangshan community! Rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to enter Guizhou now and fight with Wu Sangui  The battle between the old thieves, who will win, is still uncertain!"

    "Wu Sangui old thief!" Oboi suddenly raised his head, and shouted to the sky: "I know that you want to eat the main force of the Qing Dynasty in the hinterland of Guizhou and lay the foundation for your northward journey to the Central Plains! Now the old man will let you fulfill your wish, but just  I'm afraid you can eat it, but you can't pull it out¡ª¡ª!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 169 The Decisive Battle

    ?

    "Man Gou is catching up again! Man Gou is catching up again¡ª¡ª!"

    Accompanied by the nervous shouts of the scouts from the rear army, the official road full of soldiers from the Wu army sitting all over the place seemed to be boiling, and it boiled all of a sudden.  Jumping up, he stuffed the cold steamed buns he had just gnawed into his bosom, quickly drank two handfuls of roadside ditch water, and shouted, "Get on your horse! Get on your horse! Get on the west! Pay attention to the number of people, don't let them go!"  Fall behind!"

    Almost at the same time when Gao Dejie's rear troops remounted their horses and began to retreat westward, on the official road in Guizhou in the east, a clear cavalry of the Qing army appeared, shouting that the tide was coming, and arrows and bullets were raining down.  Generally, the overwhelming attack, a dozen or so Wu army cavalry in the rear team couldn't dodge in time, they were shot like hedgehogs by arrows in an instant, screamed and fell down the official road, Xuan was trampled into meat sauce by the Qing army's iron cavalry, and many other Wu troops  The cavalry was injured by an arrow, gritted their teeth and stepped forward, and fled back to the rear under the cover of their companions' bows and muskets. Finally, there was no large-scale lagging behind.

    "Kill!" Amidst the neat roar, Mite Qing slammed Laita first, swiping his sword frantically to block Wu Jun's arrows, while desperately urging his horse to push towards the Wu Army's rear. The Mite Qing cavalry behind them also looked like madmen,  Howling ghosts and wolves rushed one by one faster than the other, and in the blink of an eye they had already approached the Wu army's rear.  Gao Dejie was forced to have no choice but to turn around and return to his horse. He led his army to charge back and formed a group with Laita's army. There were crowds of people on the narrow official road.  Fighting and slashing on the road like a beast, the sound of killing soaring into the sky reverberated the mountains, and the leaves fell.

    The Qing army launched a comprehensive attack on the second day of May in the 11th year of Kang Mazi. With Prince An Yue Le as the vanguard, Oboi personally led the 220,000 Qing army into Guizhou, and marched into the hinterland of Guizhou in two ways.  .  Because no one thought beforehand that Oboi would collapse so quickly in front of Fatty Lu's tricks, and change his established strategy so quickly to enter Guizhou for a decisive battle, so the generals and soldiers of the Wu army, including Fatty Lu himself, were unavoidably caught off guard and retreated in a hurry  After Zhenyuan City, he was quickly bitten by the Mite Qing army, and was forced to fight and retreat. The road back to the teacher was extremely difficult.

    In view of the fact that the main force of the Qing Dynasty was divided into troops in Zhenyuan Prefecture, they took the road of Shibing and Qingping all the way to Guizhou, and Kaili Avenue all the way to Guizhou, planning to join forces in Guiding. In order to avoid being made dumplings by the Qing army, Gao Dejie had  Hastily dispatched his deputy, Gao Hongchen, to lead 1,500 cavalry ahead, and retreat day and night to garrison at important throats such as Guiding and Zoumaping, to protect the way of retreat, so as not to be dumped by the enemy.  Two thousand cavalry and more than a thousand infantry from Zhenyuan who voluntarily followed the Wu army to Anshun formed the central army, which was handed over to Fatty Lu, and the front, middle and rear armies retreated westward together.

    Gao Dejie has been through the battlefield for a long time, and although his tactics are extremely correct when he leads the army in person, what Gao Dejie didn't expect was that Yue Le, the forward of the mite Qing Dynasty, pulled out 6,000 cavalry from the former army and divided them into four teams.  Give Laita, Mu Zhan, Shuo Nai and Zhao Liangdong the command of the four fierce generals, changing every ten miles, taking turns chasing and taking turns to rest, biting the tail of the Gaode Jie army like four mangy dogs, and biting if they catch up  , Gaode Jiejun returns to the division and runs to the death, Gaode Jiejun retreats again and then changes to another team to chase and kill, so repeatedly, the intention is to slow down the speed of Gaode Jiejun's return to the division, tire the Wu army, wait for the time to wipe out this mite in one fell swoop  The Qing army's disgraced Wu army elite.

    Yue Le's move was very successful. No matter how elite the Jie army was, after a series of hard battles with almost no breaks, the casualty rate rose rapidly. The generals, soldiers and horses were extremely tired, and the speed of withdrawal was forced to slow down.  , It took two days to completely evacuate Zhenyuan Mansion, and was bitten by Laita again as soon as he evacuated to the junction of Zhenyuan Mansion and Duyun Mansion.

    After a bloody battle, he was forced to throw dozens of grenades. After finally killing the Laita army, Gao Dejie didn't even have time to count the casualties of the soldiers, so he immediately yelled: "Quick retreat, full of dogs will be replaced again!"  People are chasing them, so retreat to Qing whistle first, where the terrain is steep, you can stick to it and rest." Wu Jun cavalry agreed one after another, and hurriedly dragged their tired bodies back on their horses, and continued westward along the official road.

    "Where is Lu Yifeng's central army?" Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Dejie turned to his deputy and asked.  The deputy replied loudly: "Back to General Zuo, the news is already in the morning, Lord Lu's Chinese army has arrived at Qingwei."

    "Send someone to give him an order to garrison at Xinpaizhai to meet the rear army." Gao Dejie roared, "Tell him, tell him not to be afraid, it's not that he is the rear, the brothers are too tired  , we have to change a group of people.¡±

    Gao Dejie asked Fatty Lu to tell Fatty Lu that it was not without reason to tell Fatty Lu not to be afraid. Since ancient times, the most feared thing among friendly generals is the emergence of people who are greedy for life and fear of death.  There are countless examples of friendly army defeats. Fatty Lu was a civil servant when he first entered the battlefield.??The dog-headed military divisions scolded a bloody head, "Oboi old thief defends Guiyang and confronts us? He wants to defend and let him defend! All the more than 200,000 dogs' grain and grass will be transported from Huguang to Guiyang, without us  Do it, the mountain roads in Guizhou can kill him!"

    On the first day of June, the last Qing army led by Jie Shu arrived in Guiyang.  So far, the main forces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Mite Qing who were preparing to participate in the battle had all arrived on the battlefield. The Yunnan-Guizhou army was 70,000, and the Mite Qing army had more than 180,000 troops stationed in the prefectures and cities along the way to protect the grain roads.  The two warring parties with a total strength of more than 250,000 are facing each other, waiting for the final - the decisive battle!  (To be continued.

 Chapter 170 Drinking Poison to Quench Thirst

    ?

    (ps: It's the end of the month, ask for the last monthly pass in October.)

    Before that, Wu Sangui had fought against Oboi twice, the first was the Songjin War in the eighth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty, and the second was in the Miyun War in the eighth year of Chongzhen.  In the Jin battle, Wu Sangui simply fled back to Ningyuan City alone. The real army was wiped out.

    Of course, the responsibility for these two disastrous defeats cannot be completely shifted to Wu Sangui's old traitor. Songjin was Hong Chengchou's brain convulsion that time.  The Jiannu army took the opportunity to detour and intersect behind the Ming army, cutting off the Ming army's food road and return route, which led to the annihilation of the Ming army. As the executor, the old man Wu certainly cannot bear the responsibility for this wrong decision.  That time in Miyun, Fan Zhiwan, the coach of the Ming army, was timid and afraid of fighting, and did not dare to send reinforcements, leaving the old traitor Wu to fight alone in front.  At the age of thirteen, he went to the battle to save his father, and before he became famous, the old traitor Wu had great abilities. He was helpless when he met his comrades who were like pigs, and he lost as a matter of course.

    The reason is the reason, if you lose, you lose, no matter how you make excuses, you can't get rid of the psychological shadow, even the old traitor Wu himself admits in private that he still has a certain fear of the old general Oboi.  Therefore, after Fatty Lu proposed the strategy of luring the enemy into Guizhou for a decisive battle, and the four major think tanks under the old traitor Wu unanimously agreed, the old traitor Wu also immediately decided to adopt this strategy.  Being rather fearful has a lot to do with it.

    Nearly thirty years later, in the decisive battle in Guizhou in the 11th year of Kang Mazi, the army under the command of old traitor Wu is no longer the Ming army, and the Qing army under Aobai is no longer the slave army.

    Back then, the Guan Ning army under the traitorous Wu old traitor had an outrageously high corruption index and a shockingly low morale.  In fact, they are thousands of soldiers and family slaves who are traitors of old Wu.  However, the slave army under Oboi's command was not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet. The soldiers were either cruel and vicious Jurchen barbarians, or hard-core traitors who betrayed the country and had no way out. Their morale was high and their fighting spirit was high.  In stark contrast, it also formed an absolute overwhelming advantage.

    But now, the Yunnan-Guizhou army under the command of the old traitor Wu is fighting to defend the huge profits of the Eight Banners.  , all of these people must die without a place to die¡ªincluding our poor Lu Yifeng, Lu Sanhao, and Fatty Lu, who fought for their lives and personal interests, and their morale and fighting spirit were naturally far from those of the Ming Dynasty army.

    It was as if they had been lost. Although the army of the Qing Dynasty under Oboi's command was numerous, most of the important generals had different ideas. Most of the soldiers were corrupt and depraved, passive and afraid of fighting.  The superior life in the future has degenerated minions, polished fighting spirit, greedy for the life of luxury and debauchery brought by hard-core crops, and thinking about the gold, silver and jewels obtained by squeezing and exploiting the people of all ethnic groups in China. Can you still fight and kill the enemy as bravely as before?

    One grows and the other disappears, what grows is the Yunnan-Guizhou soldiers under the command of the old traitor Wu, and what disappears is the Miqing Eight Banners under the command of Oboi.  Repeat the same mistakes of the past and escape back to Yunnan alone?  Old traitor Wu himself is not sure, and Oboi himself is even less sure.

    Standing on the top of the Guiyang city tower, looking around the Qing army camp with binoculars, seeing the Qing army soldiers slowly setting up camp, shouting feebly, and running lifelessly for training, Oboi inevitably became more and more worried-the decisive battle has not yet begun  , Just marching thousands of miles on the rugged mountain roads in Guizhou, the morale inspired by strict training and strict military discipline on the Huguang border has declined like this. At the critical moment on the battlefield, the main force of the Qing army is still  How many troops can maintain combat effectiveness and high morale, Oboi himself is really uncertain.

    "Yue Le, Tu Hai, Jie Shu, La Bu." After careful consideration for a moment, Aobai called out the names of four important lieutenants.  Yue Le, Tu Hai and other four generals stepped forward together, clasped their fists to agree to Hou's order, and Oboi ordered again: "Pass down the order and reiterate the order to kill the old man seven times. If there are any flags in the barracks that are not upright or fail to arrive on time, no matter what."  Whoever it is will be severely punished!"

    "Decree." The four generals including Yue Le and Tu Hai agreed, and went down together to convey the order and re-enforce military discipline.  After these people left, Zhou Peigong, who had already served as a priest in the Oboi shogunate, came up and said cautiously: "Master En, serious military discipline can certainly boost the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers, but the students think that the effect is too slow.  Now that the battle is imminent, if we don¡¯t find a way to boost morale and fighting spirit, the consequences will be disastrous.¡±The war horses equipped are naturally scouting advantages. In addition, Fatty Lu also has a group of about 300 soldiers who are best at fighting in the mountains - Miao Yi soldiers provided by Fatty Lu's brother Zhan Yitu Zhizhou An Shixian.  Therefore, the old traitor Wu readily agreed to Fatty Lu's request, and asked the Qujing Green Battalion to join the scout army. Under the leadership of Fatty Lu's cousin Qin Yong and his confidant Li Tianzhi, he started an outpost battle with the Qing army scouts.

    Facing Fatty Lu's self-assessment request, Qin Yong didn't say anything, and honestly took the order to fight, but Li Tianzhi, an old military officer, was a little dissatisfied, and said to Fatty Lu in private: "Brother Lu, why are you so stupid? Although we  I have always paid attention to scout training, but scout warfare is a skirmish battle, it is difficult to rescue each other, and the loss of troops is the most serious. If the loss is too large, when it comes to the decisive battle between the two armies, others will transfer us to  In the rear, what else do we take credit for?"

    "Brother Li, how can I not understand this truth?" Fatty Lu replied with a sly smile: "To tell you the truth, I just want to find an excuse to retreat to the rear during the decisive battle.  We showed our talents and made great achievements.¡±

    "What do you mean?" Li Tianzhi asked in confusion, "Others have finished the battle, so let's collect prisoners and hunt down the enemy's stragglers. How much credit can we get?"

    "It was wrong, and it was a big mistake." Fatty Lu shook his head resolutely, and said slowly: "In this battle, Oboi was forced to fight by Xiao Mazi, and he didn't know anything about our real military strength.  We only know ourselves but not the enemy. Our army knows both the enemy and ourselves. Our army will surely win! But although our army wins, it may not be able to completely wipe out the enemy army. If we can stand out and block most of the Manchu army in the hinterland of Guizhou, then  This credit is no less than defeating the enemy head-on!"

    After all, Li Tianzhi is an old military officer. Although he is not as bad-born as Fatty Lu, he had no good intentions at the beginning, but after receiving these reminders from Fatty Lu, Li Tianzhi finally understood Fatty Lu's vicious intentions, and said in surprise: "So Brother Lu  It¡¯s this plan, I finally understand, no wonder you insisted on taking Kong Fanlin with you last time, Brother Lu¡­¡±

    "Shh, don't leak the secret." Fatty Lu quickly made a silent gesture, and said with a low voice, "You must keep it secret. If this matter is leaked, then there will be people who will snatch our great achievements."  Yes. These few days I will help the prince to act as an agent for the military aircraft. The army, you should worry more, bring your brothers to see more blood, and prepare for the bloody battle in the future. Don¡¯t be afraid of casualties, an army that has never seen blood will never succeed  Elite, in the future, we have plenty of reserve troops to replenish!"

    "Understood, Brother Lu's foresight and foresight is far above ordinary people." Li Tianzhi suddenly realized, and said to Fatty Lu with great admiration: "Brother Yu now believes more and more that Brother Yu left the Pingnan Palace to join Brother Lu back then. It was the most correct choice in his life.  The bright future of Brother Lu must be far above the Pingnan Palace!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 171 The Horn Blows

    ?

    (ps: The decisive battle is about to start, ask for the last monthly ticket in October.)

    As expected by Oboi's misfortune, after the three new military orders of the Qing army were publicized, they had a certain effect of boosting morale and fighting spirit internally, but externally, not only did they not frighten the soldiers of Yunnan and Guizhou who were fighting with the local chieftains every year,  On the contrary, it completely angered most of the generals and soldiers of Yunnan and Guizhou. Countless generals and soldiers flocked to the big tent of the Wu army, asked the old traitor Wu Sangui to fight, and vowed to let the army of the Qing Dynasty taste the power of the soldiers of Yunnan and Guizhou, "Kill all the dogs!"  " and the slogans of "flayed alive and full of dogs" soared into the sky, shaking the heavens and the earth.

    The most ruthless ones are Wu Sangui's traitorous aces. These daring soldiers who are famous for their madness in killing the enemy ordered Yunnan and Guizhou soldiers to capture seven or eight authentic Manchu soldiers.  The dog soldiers bled and scalded their hair, deboned and burned their skin, and then cooked with the most authentic Huajiang dog meat cooking technique. They gathered friends and friends to drink and eat meat together to express their extreme contempt for the shameless military orders of the Qing army.  Numerous generals and soldiers of the Wu army scrambled to ask for a share of the pie, and Fatty Lu was one of them, and he took the lead in praising, "Aspirations are hungry to eat Hulu meat, and jokes are thirsty to drink the blood of Huns! What a man!"

    Faced with such a high spirit of seeking war, the old traitor Wu smiled with his old face blooming like a chrysanthemum. He quickly ordered to appease the soldiers of the army, expressing that he would fight the Qing army as soon as possible to satisfy the desire of the soldiers of the Wu army.  Those gangs of ignorant dogs.  At the same time, under the suggestion of Fatty Lu, the Wu Jun think tank also formulated a post-war reward plan in advance, promising that after defeating the main force of the Qing Dynasty, in addition to the reward plans such as head-for-money and death benefits, the grain, grass, and supplies seized in Guizhou  40% of the soldiers returned to Yunnan and Guizhou, and 40% were handed over to the Pingxi Palace for public use, so as to boost morale and counteract the propaganda policy of the Qing army.

    After four days of steady and steady marching, on the sixth day of June, the traditional festival of washing and drying, on this day, the vanguard of the mite Qing army arrived at Xiashao Village, 20 miles northeast of Anshun City, and set up a vanguard camp here.  .  In the evening of the same day, the main force of Mite Qing arrived at Xiashao one after another, and Obai's commander's camp chose Mao Mao Mountain, the highest point in the northeast of Anshun, overlooking the entire frontal battlefield.  At night, bonfires spread all over the wilderness with a radius of ten miles around Maomao Mountain, reflecting the dark night sky brightly.  The voices of people were so loud that they could be heard clearly even from the Anshun city tower twenty miles away.

    At the beginning, Oboi was also very worried that Wu Jun would take advantage of the opportunity of his army's unstable foothold to sneak attack overnight, so he specially sent heavy troops to guard against it, but when he found that Wu Jun's camp did not have this plan, he was ready to guard against night attack  Afterwards, Oboi breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned¡ªthe Wu army was at a serious disadvantage and refused to send surprise troops, insisting on a decisive battle with its own army. This is enough to prove that the Wu army is full of confidence in this battle.  Although the self-army has many soldiers and generals, and the food and grass are still sufficient at present, it suffers from limited understanding of the Wu army, knowing itself but not the enemy. This battle is really a good one.

    When the large tent of the Chinese army was erected, the sand table of the Anshun battlefield that had been hurriedly produced overnight was also moved into the large tent. This sand table of the Qing army, which was made at the cost of the lives of more than 800 scouts, basically marked the positions of the enemy and us.  The deployment of troops, as well as various fortifications and facilities marked Wu Jun.  What made Oboi frown was that for more than half a year, Wu Sangui's army, who had plenty of time, had already made extremely complete defense preparations on this pre-set battlefield, and dug a large number of anti-horse trenches on the north and south wings of Anshun City.  Numerous horse-repelling walls and horse-repelling antlers were built and erected, and the land on the two wings of the battlefield was cut into fragments, leaving only the frontal battlefield about six miles wide to keep it flat for decisive battles.

    Of course, there is a reason why Wu Sangui's army arranged this way. The vertical and horizontal fortifications and ditches on the two wings of the battlefield can limit the outflanking and detours of the Qing cavalry's two wings;  The troops are concentrated at one point, and only a small number of troops are needed to protect and support the two wings, thereby limiting the strength of the Qing army.  At the same time, the six-mile-wide frontal battlefield can force the Qing army to close up and form a dense formation, which is conducive to the effectiveness of Wu Sangui's new firearms, and it is also conducive to the attack of the Yunnan-Guizhou cavalry, which is no less than the Qing cavalry.  Harassing the wings and rear of the Qing army can be said to be offensive when advancing, and defensive when retreating.

    In addition, these fortifications also have a great advantage in that they effectively prevent the infiltration of Qing army scouts, so that on the sand table in front of Oboi, the Qing army does not know anything about the deployment of troops behind Wu Sangui's army, especially Wu Sangui's army cannot be reconnaissance.  The specific situation of the Zhenning camp¡ªand what¡¯s more terrible is that Zhenning¡¯s terrain is relatively high, which is an ideal camp for Wu Jun airships to station and attack. The Qing army¡¯s scouts could not approach Zhenning, so naturally they could not find the existence of Wu Jun¡¯s airships.

    Looking at the sand table for a long time, Oboi finally asked the senior generals of the Qing army present in a low voice: "Wu Sangui's troop deployment and the situation on the Anshun battlefield?"At that time, the Qujing Green Battalion directly under Fatty Lu was of course taking the time to rest and prepare for the battle. After grinding 500 grenades from Wu Guogui and Wu Yingqi with a cheeky face, Fatty Lu distributed all the grenades to the soldiers of the Qujing Green Battalion, and  Two orders were promulgated, one is that there is no military order, no generals and soldiers are allowed to use grenades, and good steel should be left on the edge of the knife; the second order is-each soldier prepares dry food for five days, and prepares it within five days  Can't get food supplies ready!

    On the third day, the eighth day of June in the 11th year of Kang Mazi, the sky was clear and cloudless, and the sky was twilight. Before the rising red sun could climb up the foot of the mountain, the 170,000 troops of the Maoshan camp had already mobilized  .  The army lined up in a neat formation, with flags of various colors fluttering in the wind in the morning sun, and the black mass of people was like a huge cancerous tumor, slowly advancing towards the Wu army's position, the earth trembled, and the mountains trembled.

    At the same time, the horn of Wu Jun's camp blew, and a group of Yunnan and Guizhou soldiers came out of the camp, like tumbling dragons, shouting the slogan "Follow the heavens to beg for thieves, kill Oboi" and slow down.  Slowly rushed to the preset position that had been prepared for half a year, waiting for the collision of blood and flesh, the fight between life and death, the decisive battle between justice and evil!

    I rely on it!  It seems that something is wrong. Is there justice for the mite Qing army and the Wu old traitor army?  (To be continued.

 Chapter 172 Battle of Anshun (Part 1)

    ?

    (ps: In the last few hours of October, ask for the last monthly pass in October and the monthly pass in November.)

    "Woo¡ª! Woo¡ª¡ª¡ª! Woo¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª!"

    Amidst the muffled sound of horns that could be heard from each other, Wu Sangui's army and the Qing army's army entered their respective positions and confronted each other along the Anshun official road.  Slightly southerly location.  The flags were flying, the flags were like forests, swords and guns were like mountains, and the team was so vast that it almost completely covered the most spacious and fertile Anshun Basin in Guizhou.

    It was also a coincidence that the sky was clear and cloudless, and the rising sun just shone on the faces of Wu Jun Yungui soldiers who were fighting against the light.  It looks glorious and magnificent, but in fact its face is hideous and gloomy.

    It is precisely because of this light trend that it is inevitable that Laoqiu Bawu Sangui and the old traitor secretly rejoiced in his heart-the Wu army is in charge in the morning, and although the backlight operation is affected to a certain extent, due to the advantages of fortifications, such an impact will definitely not be too great.  In the afternoon, the Wu army counterattacked westward in the sun, and the impact of the backlight on the Mite Qing army, which had no fortification advantage, was far greater than the impact and disturbance received by the Wu army when it was backlighted in the morning.

    At the beginning of the hour, the formation of the two sides was completed. As expected by the decision-makers of the Qing army, Wu Sangui's army deployed heavy troops in the middle of the front. Almost all the elite cavalry gathered in the open area about six miles wide in the front.  The two wings protected by a large number of fortifications are relatively weak. Both wings have only 10,000 troops each, and they are mainly infantry, with poor mobility.  Obviously, Wu Jun placed all his bets on the frontal main battlefield, and did not intend to surprise the victory.

    What worried Oboi secretly and puzzled most of the generals and soldiers was that the first row of the Wu army's central army did not deploy long-range attack weapons such as bows and arrows and musketeers, and there were even pitifully few  The thirty or forty Hongyi cannons were also arranged by Wu Jun in the second team to throw them upwards, and the Wu Jun soldiers deployed in the first row-a wooden cart pushed by horses!  There are hundreds of thousands, big and small, long and short, lined up in front of the Wu army formation, leaving only a few passages for the rear army to move forward.  Moreover, each wooden cart was covered with a straw mat to cover it, so that the mite army could not detect what mysterious weapon was hidden under the straw mat.

    "Unsurprisingly, those wooden carts should be the new firearms made by the old thief Wu Sangui with a lot of money. What exactly are they?" Obai was both curious and nervous.  It's useless if there is less, the old traitor Wu has been preparing for this day for so many years, and he will never show his strength at the last moment. The army sent too many to form the main attack, which is in the hands of the old traitor Wu.  So Aobai gritted his teeth, and finally gave up on this idea.

    "Report to Grand Master!" At this time, all the generals of Mite Qing rushed to the front of the flag array on the top of the short mountain, knelt down on one knee together, clasped their fists and said neatly: "Our army has finished preparing for battle, please give orders to Grand Master!"

    "Prince Kang Jieshu, lead 20,000 infantry, send troops from the right wing of our army, and attack Wu Ni's left wing." Aobai shouted loudly: "Prince An, lead 20,000 infantry, send troops from the left wing of our army, and attack Wu Ni's right wing! Use up Wu Ni's troops!  , Destroy and fill up the fortifications on Wu Ni's wings, and open the way for our cavalry to attack! The rest of the generals restrain their troops and wait for the commander-in-chief's order!"

    "Cover!" Hundreds of Qing generals agreed loudly in unison, each of them galloped back to the formation to deliver orders, while Yue Le and Jie Shu rode their horses and galloped left and right, mobilizing the troops to attack.  After a while, the infantry on the left and right wings of the main force of the Qing Dynasty came out together, lined up in a neat square formation, and marched towards the ends of the two wings of the Wu army with the battalion as a unit.

    On the right wing of the Qing army, Jie Shu concentrated the army at one point, gave full play to his superiority in strength, and stormed a Wu army defense line about two miles long.  On the left wing of the Qing army, Yue Le cunningly stretched out the battle line to a length of more than six miles, with 5,000 elite troops marching in the formation, while the remaining 15,000 troops launched a wave-like attack on the Wu army's position, in an attempt to stretch the front line and disperse the Wu army's strength.  , looking for a breakthrough.

    Because the possibility that the Qing army would attack the two wings was fully considered before the war, although Wu Sangui's old traitor deployed relatively few troops on the two wings, the army was quite elite.  Wu Yingjing, the general and Wu Sangui's nephew, faced Yue Le on the right wing against Wu Shizong, the grandson of Wu Sangui who personally killed the green hat king Sun Yanling and captured Kong Sizhen alive.

    Although the two generals on the left and right flanks of the Wu army were relatively small in strength, they had far more experience than Jie Shu and Yue Le. Facing the Qing army's advance, they were calm and calm, and deployed bows, arrows and muskets to suppress them from the front, while dispatching a large number of elite infantry from the side to enter the densely packed environment.  Anti-horse trenches, holding short knives and spears that are good for tunnel combat, hold your breath and wait for the Qing army to attack.

    ? At three quarters of the hour, the battle drums on the two wings of the mite Qing army??Get ready to go back and kill all the dogs.  "

    "What do you mean?" Before Wu Shizong could finish his exclamation, a cannon rang out from behind the dwarf hill to the north of the Wu army's right-wing position, and a group of Wu army cavalry rushed out.  .  At the same time, there was a sound of cannons in the south, and countless white spots suddenly appeared in the mountains and green forests, and they quickly gathered into a piece, condescendingly charging towards the flanks of the Qing army that had penetrated behind the Wu army's fortifications.

    "It's been tricked!" Yue Le's face turned pale.  At this time, Zhao Liangdong who was standing next to him suddenly screamed in despair, "Hui Yu soldiers! They are Huu Yu soldiers! Your lord, retreat quickly, they are Huu Yu soldiers! They are all lunatics on the battlefield! Crazy people¡ª¡ª!"

    The white dots appearing in the mountains and forests are indeed Jigi soldiers. These ethnic minority soldiers unique to Yunnan and Guizhou all wrap their heads in white cloth, carry huge swords on their backs, and hold earthen cannons made of bamboo tubes or poisonous bamboo arrows in their hands.  Running across the mountains and through the jungle like flying, shouting excitedly, the tide rushed towards the Yue Yue Club of the Qing army, which was attacked on three sides. Before the people arrived, the poisonous arrows and fist-sized earthen artillery projectiles had already arrived, and the soldiers of the Qing army who were caught off guard rushed one after another.  The arrow was shot, and the screams of despair quickly echoed among the Qing army.  (To be continued.

    What is madness?  Crazy means that after you rush into the enemy's team, you clearly see the enemy slashing at you, and you don't dodge or dodge, just to pull out the thick-backed giant sword that weighs three to forty catties on your back, and forcefully go  Slashing the enemy's deadly place with a sword does not require hitting the fatal point, as long as it can hit, the sword can smash the enemy's head, smash the enemy's brain, remove the enemy's limbs, and make the enemy's muscles  If the bone is broken, even if you are stabbed and shot by the enemy, you will still be grinning wildly with the blood-stained sword.  ¡ª This is called madness!

    What is "tiger joins the flock"?  It was the tiger, the king of beasts, who rushed into the poor lambs and started killing them. The infantry ace army under Wu Sangui's traitor was a tiger, and the poor lamb was Yue Le, the Qing army who fell into an ambush by mistake.  force.

    After the Wu army's long-planned ambush was launched, the Wu army's cavalry Koduo troops suddenly rushed out from the north to go straight behind the Qing army's Yue Yue department, cutting off the Yue Yue army's retreat and blocking the Qing army's reinforcements.  The soldiers who climbed mountains and ridges rushed straight down from the mountains and forests in the south, blowing rough horns, carrying a thick-backed giant sword nearly five feet long and half a foot wide, and wielding a giant sword made of bamboo tubes.  Holding earthen cannons or poisonous bamboo arrows in his hands, he roared and jumped excitedly like a blood-eating tiger that had been hungry for several days, rushing towards the flanks of the Qing army like a tide.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"  On the ground, the flesh and blood were all broken. Once the poisonous arrow hit the Qing army, the wound would not hurt but itchy, and the blood would bleed like ink.  Before the soldiers of the Qing army could react, the wide and long thick-backed giant sword had already been cut head-on. Those who hit the head smashed the pot cap and head together, and blood and brains splashed together; those who hit the shoulder, the arm  Either they were unloaded on the spot or their shoulder blades were shattered, completely losing their combat effectiveness; if they hit the vital points in the chest and abdomen, it would be considered light, and if it was severe, the internal organs would be smashed together.  The real power is unparalleled, and the real one is invincible.

    What made the soldiers of the Qing army even more terrified was the madness and bravery of the Huan soldiers. These Huan soldiers who only wore ivy armor seemed to be unafraid.  They tried to dodge, but took the initiative to meet them, in order to slash the huge sword in their hands. All of them are the same death with the same life, and all of them are blood-eating battlefield wolves.  The soldiers of the Qing army dodged in reverse, and countless soldiers were so frightened that their legs and hands became weak, and they couldn't even hold their weapons steadily.  The bones were incomplete, which was extremely miserable.

    "Aww! Aww! Aww!" Amidst the strange howls that made the soldiers of the Qing army tingle, each and every one of them rushed into the enemy group like hungry wolves, rampaging among the Qing army,  Wherever he went, there were blood and flesh flying everywhere, and all the corpses were scattered all over the field. His expression became more and more excited when he was killed, and there were countless blood-stained soldiers still laughing crazily, as if they were not in the body.  The battlefield of the two armies, where life and death were fought fiercely, was held instead of a gathering and celebration. The soldiers of the Qing army who came into contact with the Jiji soldiers for the first time were all frightened.

    "My lord! Be careful!" Amidst the screams, a bloody soldier among the rebellious army suddenly rushed within ten steps of Yue Le, scaring Yue Le's soldiers into chaos.  Either guarding Yue Le behind his back, or scrambling to rush towards the guizi soldier, but the solitary guiyu soldier did not retreat but advanced, waving a huge sword with both hands, smashing and hacking, desperately rushing towards the man dressed in luxurious clothes.  In the blink of an eye, two of Yue Le's own soldiers were killed by his sword. The surrounding Qing soldiers were in a hurry and rushed to poke with their spears. The Jiugi soldiers still did not dodge or dodge.  Yu handles a long spear stabbed at his body, and with a blow of his sword back, he smashed the head of a Qing soldier in front of him, crushing the Qing soldier's skull, cracking his brain, and killing him on the spot.

    "Kill!" Another round of long spears was pierced into the body of the â£â£ soldier. The â£â£ soldier had no chance to dodge, so he simply continued to dodge and swung his hands horizontally, and the five-foot giant sword fell four or five times in an instant.  The Qing soldier's arm hurt so much that those Qing soldiers howled while killing pigs, the eyes of the Qing soldiers next to him were also red, and the two Qing soldiers rushed forward with their knives, and the two knives pierced the Xiaoyu soldier's abdomen together.  The other Qing soldiers tried their best to hold down the huge sword of the Huanyu soldier, and the Huangui soldier let go of the sword and turned around, grabbed a Qing soldier who was sneaking up on him by the neck, and pressed him to the ground, allowing the other Qing soldiers to chop and stab him.  Poking his back, a pair of big palm-leaf fans like iron pincers just strangled the Qing soldier's neck. Even when other Qing soldiers chopped off his spine and cut off his arms, his whole body was covered with transparent blood.  He strangled the throat of a Qing soldier who had already had his larynx smashed.  And on the battlefield, there are more than thousands of such tenacious and crazy soldiers?

    "Crazy! Crazy! Sure enough, a lunatic! ?nbsp; "Grand Master, Grand Master!" At this time, an Oboi soldier suddenly pointed to the southwest sky and yelled frantically, "Grand Master, look at the sky! Look at the sky!"

    "What's in the sky?" Oboi looked up in surprise, but saw three small black dots slowly approaching the southwest direction on the blue sky, and the black dots were getting bigger and bigger. He raised the binoculars again  , resisting the western sun to observe carefully, but suddenly jumped up and yelled crazily:

    "Wu? Wu! Wu!! How is it possible? How is it possible? God has descended to earth?!"

 Chapter 174 Destruction

    ?

    "How is it possible? How is it possible? Heavenly soldiers and generals are also helping the old thief Wu Sangui?!"

    Since he joined the army at the age of 15, he has spent more than 40 years on the battlefield where the two armies fought fiercely. He has experienced no less than a hundred battles.  , and to an unusually serious degree, the scream was not only shocking, but also extremely fearful and desperate, just like a rookie who had just entered the battlefield was so nervous when he saw dead people and blood for the first time,  So flustered, so timid and fearful, he even yelled out ridiculous things like Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.

    If Xiao Mazi was at the scene and saw the fear and timid expression on Ao Bai's ugly face at this moment, then Xiao Mazi would definitely laugh out loud with joy, and would definitely shout excitedly, "Old man Ao, so you also have today!"

    I really can¡¯t blame Oboi for being useless, the key is that since the beginning of written records, except in fairy tales, no one has ever heard of or seen the enemy flying in the sky, soaring in the blue sky and white clouds.  Heard it, never seen it, let alone thought about it!  But now seeing the soldiers of the Wu army flying in the air with Wu Sangui's flag soaring into the sky, if Oboi no longer gapes, stunned, and screams in shock, then Oboi's nerves are really thicker and bigger than his back and waist.

    In fact, Oboi's performance is already considered good. All the generals of the Qing army who have binoculars, as long as they use the binoculars to see the three huge airships, the white word "Wu" with black airbags, and the hanging boat.  The military flag of Wu Jun hanging on the top was completely dumbfounded on the spot. A few of the calmer ones screamed like Oboi, and those who were a little less courageous or more anxious simply sat on the ground with their buttocks, or made a plop.  He knelt down on his knees and yelled like crazy, "Heavenly soldiers and generals! Heavenly soldiers and generals have come down to earth!"

    Thanks to the straight-line flight, it didn't take much time for the Wu army airship team from Zhenning to fly over the Wu army's rear team. As a result, it was not the Qing army that was frightened first, but most of the Wu army soldiers who still didn't know about it.  Wherever the airship went, the generals and soldiers of the Wu army all screamed, ran around, or knelt down on their knees to worship, and kowtowed desperately to pray for God's blessing-if it wasn't for the Qing army who was also overwhelmed by shock, or  Some had already been bombed by the Wu army's rocket array and dared not move an inch. The Qing army took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, and the Wu army must suffer a big loss.

    Seeing such a scene, Wu Yingqi, who insisted on personally leading the airship team to bomb, was of course laughing and laughing in the sky, while Wu Sangui and other senior generals of the Pingxi Palace were very angry and funny, and quickly sent a large number of people to spread orders.  Tell the soldiers of the Wu army that flying in the sky is not demons, ghosts, let alone enemies, but the Pingxi Palace Air Force, which is here to help us kill Mangou.  At the same time, a banner was raised, ordering Wu Yingqi to go forward and fight quickly, and not to stay behind to harm and intimidate the soldiers of our own army.

    In order to facilitate the command of the air force, Fatty Lu specially designed a set of extremely unique ordering methods for Wu Sangui, that is, let the soldiers hold wooden boards painted with white paint to form a huge white arrow, and each arrow commands an airship.  The army can see orders at a glance by looking down from the sky.  And when he saw the three arrows pointing straight ahead, the triumphant and high-spirited Wu Yingqi finally stopped bragging, and asked the four airship soldiers on the same boat to shake the propellers quickly and steer the direction forward with ropes.

    In order to satisfy Wu Yingqi's desire to bomb and load more ammunition, the Wu Jun airship unit flew at an extremely low altitude this time, less than 150 meters from the ground.  Although this is an extremely dangerous altitude for airships with extremely fragile airbags, when the three Wu army airships flew in front of the Qing army formation, not only did no one in the Qing army formation shoot arrows at the sky, but  Seeing the Wu Jun flag and Wu Jun soldiers on the airship at such a close distance, they were even more frightened out of their wits. Countless Qing soldiers threw down their weapons and ran for their lives. Most of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for Sanqing  Tathagata Avalokitesvara came down to bless the earth, and the generals and supervisors of the Qing army were all at a loss, completely forgetting to restrain military discipline and stop deserters.

    "Throw bombs, throw cluster bombs!" As soon as he flew over the top of the Qing army, Wu Yingqi couldn't wait to yell and run for his life.

    Fortunately, the Wu Jun airship soldiers who got Fatty Lu were very calm. Yu Tianyu, the current captain of the Wu Jun airship team who was the first to parachute from the airship, quickly reminded: "Second prince, we can't throw cluster bombs now, we fly too fast.  Low, if a small bomb is blown into the sky and hits us, we will be in trouble."

    "Then throw the explosives, hurry up." Wu Yingqi ordered instead.

    "Second Prince, it seems that we should throw the leaflets first, right?" Yu Tianyu cautiously reminded again.

    "Then why are you still in a daze? Throw it away!" Wu Yingqi yelled, grabbed a stack of leaflets, and threw it off the airship.Body wreckage is strewn all over.

    It was getting late, and in a daze, Wu Sangui, the old traitor Wu, seemed to have returned to that night of thirty years ago. It was also a night soaked in blood. Hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were desperate because of Hong Chengchou's stupid command, and they were forced to break through overnight.  Encountering the ambush of the Jiannu Oboi tribe, they were also driven to slaughter by Oboi's army like ducks, and it happened to catch up with the high tide at night. The countless soldiers of the Ming army under Wu Sangui were either swept away by the tide, or were swept away by the cruel and vicious Jiannu  The army slaughtered and slaughtered, and even the soldiers of the Ming army who were lucky enough to be captured were very few. Wu Sangui fled back to Ningyuan alone after a narrow escape.  That night also became the eternal nightmare of old traitor Wu.

    "Fortunately, it's the other way around now." The old traitor Wu suddenly smiled, raised his knife and shouted: "Boys, let me chase you! Let me kill you! Avenge my brothers back then! Vengeance!"

    Although it is impossible for the words of the old traitor Wu to be heard by too many soldiers of the Wu army on the battlefield full of voices, the soldiers of the Wu army are already doing this. Teams of soldiers of the Wu army are like swimming dragons, enjoying the defeat of the Qing army.  He swooped forward, slashing and killing recklessly, only regretting that he couldn't grow an extra arm and an extra hand to slash and stab.  Among the ranks of the Qing army, there was crying and screaming like a tide. Countless Qing soldiers fell off the mountain bridge. The corpses quickly filled the ravine and blocked the river. All the rivers and rivers along the way were stained red with blood.

    Fortunately for the Qing army, the official road from Anshun to Guiyang is barely flat, without too many cliffs, so the Qing army barely avoided being chased by the Wu army.  In the tragedy of Luoya, he was able to escape to save his life, but unfortunately, this official road greatly facilitated the full pursuit of the Wu army's infantry and cavalry.  The nearly 200-kilometer road from Anshun to Guiyang was covered overnight with corpses of soldiers and horses from the Qing army. Blood stained the road red, turning it into a real road of blood.

    The more tragic thing is yet to come. The next day, at dawn, when the defeated soldiers of the Qing army who were lucky enough to get rid of the pursuit fled back to the city of Guiyang in embarrassment and exhaustion, they saw that the city of Guiyang, where they hoped to take a break, was already on fire.  The fire was raging, and the tens of thousands of Qing troops stationed in the city had all fled towards Huguang, and some Qing army messengers rushed to pass orders, "The deputy commander Tutang has an order, Guiyang can no longer be defended, and must all retreat to Huguang, everyone,  All retreat to Huguanglai Road!"

    "Flee to Huguang? How can I escape thousands of miles away?" Countless Qing soldiers cried in despair, and some angry Qing soldiers even shot arrows at Tuhai's messengers to express their extreme anger, "Fuck you  Damn Tuhai, run away as long as you want, why do you want to burn Guiyang City? Let the old people not even have a place to rest and eat?"

    "Brothers, look! Look at the mountain over there!" Someone in the defeated Qing army screamed. When countless exhausted Qing soldiers followed the sound, they saw the most famous Qianling mountain in Guiyang.  , I don¡¯t know when a flag was hoisted, and it is fluttering in the wind in the rising sun

    It was a dilapidated military flag of the Qing army, with nine white banners, and Oboi's commander-in-chief flag.

    "Tuhai bastard, why are you so stupid?" Aobai stood proudly under the banner with blood all over his face, but he was cursing in his heart, "You can withdraw as soon as you want, why do you want to set fire to Guiyang City? Are you  Do you think that the old thief Wu Sangui doesn't hate us deeply enough, so you must force him to exterminate us? Do you want to force the people of Guizhou to join in the suppression of our defeated soldiers?"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    At about the same time, on the official road next to the Huaxi River in Guiyang, Wu Sangui's army, which was also exhausted, had already rested and assembled here, packing up the team to prepare for another battle, and gathering prisoners along the way to treat wounded soldiers.  When they arrived, the old traitor Wu was suddenly in a bad situation-why did Wu Yingjing's infantry even come up?  A certain self-army unit full of cavalry has not seen a shadow yet?

    Thinking of this, the old traitor Wu hurriedly asked the generals beside him: "You, who saw Yifeng last night? And his Qujing army, how come there is no shadow?"

    All the generals in the Wu army shook their heads together, and finally Gao Dejie said: "My lord, General Mo seemed to have seen Brother Yifeng in the Pingba area last night, with his Qujing green battalion, but it was too dark at that time, and the battlefield  It's too messy, the end general didn't have time to talk to him."

    "Just see it." The old traitor Wu breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that his grandson-in-law would be caught in the rebellion.  Wait, Dajie, you walked ahead of me yesterday. Since you saw a peak in Pingba, it proves that he is also in front of me. Why did you fall behind me? This road is not complicated  ah?"

    "This, the last general doesn't know." Gao Dejie was also dumbfounded, and exclaimed: "Don't tell me something happened? It was so chaotic last night, and the moonlight wasn't too bright. Brother Yifeng went the wrong way  Is there something wrong?"

    "Bastard! Don't let me worry!" The old man Wu became angry and shouted: "Hurry up and send someone to look for it. If you live, you want to see people, and if you die, you want to see the corpse! This little bastard, the situation was so favorable last night.  I have the ability to fight and disappear, I really convinced him! I got him back, and I will never let him go to the battlefield again!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 175 Fat soldiers descend from the sky

    ?

    The tattered white-haired banner with nine banners, the flag of the defeated general Oboi, has countless holes caused by gun bullets, arrow holes and shrapnel, and it is also covered with mud and grass clippings.  Less scorched roll marks.  In normal times, such a flag would not be used as the main flag of the whole army by the Qing army, even if it was thrown on the side of the road, no one would come forward to pick it up.

    It is strange to say that when Oboi hung this handsome flag on the hillside of Qianling Mountain, the soldiers of the Qing army outside Guiyang City who were desperate to vent their frustrations because Tuhai burned the city and had nowhere to stay quickly quieted down.  Supporting his staggering injured companion, he walked towards Qianling Mountain silently, and walked towards the tattered handsome flag from all directions, and stared at the tattered Qing army at the foot of the mountain.  Handsome flag, as if possessed by a demon.

    At this time, the large and small wounds on Oboi's body had been re-bandaged with the help of Hadaha and other military guards, but the wound on the corner of the eye, which was the most injured, was still oozing blood under the gauze.  The pure white gauze was dyed red, it was the wound that Wu Jun's cluster bomb brought to Oboi. If it wasn't for the two soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the savior and pressed on Oboi's body, the air-dropped bomb that exploded in front of Oboi  , already killed Oboi.

    Standing up with Hadaha's support, Oboi looked at the soldiers of the Qing army who were constantly gathering at the foot of the mountain, and a feeling of sadness welled up in his heart. These are the most elite soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.  The flag armor is clear, how high-spirited the look is, how majestic and mighty the team is, but after only a few days, when they returned to the city of Guiyang again, how embarrassed did these soldiers become?  Almost everyone is wounded, all are exhausted, all are staggered by hunger, fatigue and thirst, there is no clean and tidy place in their bodies, and they are so weak that it seems that a gust of wind can blow them down  .

    "Soldiers" Oboi's voice was choked with sobs. After trying to clear his throat, Oboi tried to calm himself down, and said in his loudest voice: "Soldiers, soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, yesterday's disastrous defeat  , has nothing to do with you, it is all my responsibility. When I get to a safe place, the old man will naturally give you an explanation. But now, the old man has another mission, which is to take you home, take you to a safe place,  Please consciously abide by military discipline, obey my orders, and let me take you, home."

    The tens of thousands of defeated Qing soldiers were silent, only Obai's slightly hoarse and choked voice echoed in the mountains, "Soldiers, don't give up hope, for your relatives in your hometown, for your wives, children, and parents, please don't give up.  Give up the hope of life, pick up your weapons again, straighten your backs, stand in your formation, let the old man take you home!"

    Speaking of the last word "go home", Oboi couldn't help but shed muddy old tears, and countless mites and soldiers also shed tears, silently lined up at the foot of Qianling Mountain, looking for a station, the chaotic and disordered team of defeated soldiers  Changing, gradually returning to the formation.  Aobai wiped away the tears on his face, choked with sobs, and told Hadaha, "Go pass the order, let all the generals at the level of deputy leader and above come forward, and wait for orders before the battle, and reorganize in units of 300 people.  If there are not enough generals, they will be selected from the next-level generals."

    Hadaha and other personal soldiers led away, and after a while, dozens of generals of the Qing Dynasty came out, and with the help of generals such as Hadaha, they reorganized the team, and several surviving senior generals of the Qing Dynasty were also led to Oboi  .  To Oboi's surprise, two young generals, Jie Shu and Le Erjin, were on the list, but Yue Le and Zhao Liangdong, who were most favored by Oboi, were nowhere to be seen.  King of the county, where is your uncle, Prince An? At that time, you were with him on the left wing of our army, do you know his situation?"

    "Back to the Grand Master, Uncle and the others were surrounded by barbarians and failed to retreat with the last general." Le Erjin replied with tears: "When our army collapsed and retreated, Uncle and the others had no choice but to go north because their retreat route was cut off.  I broke out from the depths of the Miaoling Mountains, and what happened to my uncle and the others later, the general will not know."

    Aobai was silent, the depths of the Miaoling Mountains were full of deep mountains and old forests, there were poisonous snakes and beasts everywhere, swamps and mires, the locals would almost die if they entered, and Yue Lejun was all from the north.  When it comes out, no one can predict it.  After a sad smile, Obai murmured to himself, "Zhao Liangdong, who is familiar with the situation in Guizhou, is with him. I hope a miracle will happen. The future of the Qing Dynasty depends on him."

    When he sighed again, more than a dozen messengers left by Tuhai were also led to Obai, and they played to Obai: "Report to the grand master, Tutang was ordered to abandon Guiyang, in order to prevent Wugou's army from cutting off  Our army has retreated and has already led the army to Guiding, Bajiang. Tutang asked me to report to the Grand Master and the princes that he will"Big increase, wouldn't it be wonderful to have the chance to capture Fatty Lu alive?"

    Thinking of this, Yue Le made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "Then let's go quickly, go after the front team and come back to meet them, leaving two people here, and report the situation of Bajiang City to them when the team arrives."

    Faced with Yue Le's wise decision, Zhao Liangdong and others naturally supported it from the bottom of their hearts with joy - only the two unlucky guys who were forcibly left behind by Yue Le couldn't be happy.  place, risking your life to wait with hunger and hunger.

    "Lu Yifeng barbarian, wait, the king will come back to find you." Looking back at the Bajiang mountain city that fell into the clutches of Fatty Lu, Yue Le said bitterly in his heart, and finally took Zhao Liangdong and waited for a dozen people  The defeated soldiers took a detour.  What Yue Le didn't expect was that when he and Zhao Liangdong and others walked away, the two defeated Qing soldiers who he left behind not only did not stick to their orders, but also quickly caught up with them.  Quietly withdrew from the post

    Not surprising, how many people in the world are not afraid of death?  Especially this kind of drudgery of sacrificing oneself to protect others, there are not many people who are willing to do it.

    (Note: The county seat of Longli County, Guizhou Province was not moved to its current location until after liberation. Before that, the county seat had been in Bajiang Township, Longli County. In the Qing Dynasty, the official road also passed through the city. The terrain was extremely steep, known as  Throat of eight provinces.) (To be continued.

 Chapter 176 Retribution

    ?

    The sun, which had been spraying red flames for a day, finally turned to the west. In Guizhou, where there is no three miles of peace and no three days of sunshine, it is really rare to have such a few consecutive days of clear and blue sky, but the clouds that keep coming from the south tell us  For the world, such good weather will not last long.

    Or, this also foretells that the days when the mite invaders are lucky enough to occupy the Central Plains, and the good days when parasites suck blood and exploit the Chinese nation will not be far away, right?

    The sun passed through the clouds that were gradually thickening, and gradually turned westward. When it was approaching You hour, a large group of defeated mites finally appeared on the official road at the foot of Bajiang Mountain City. There were about six or seven thousand people.  They were ragged, their faces were covered in mud and blood, they were all disarmed and unarmored, their banners were not in order, and they were all exhausted and hungry. Most of the soldiers were still slightly or severely wounded, moaning one after another, in the ranks  Echoes endlessly.

    Even so, because he got a short rest after dawn and has not fought against the Wu army since then, his mental outlook is not bad, and his steps are not very difficult, especially when he saw the Qing army flag fluttering in the wind at the top of Bajiang City on the top of the mountain.  A landslide and tsunami-like cheers broke out among the defeated Qing army, and the marching speed suddenly accelerated. They rushed along the gentle slope official road to the top of the mountain like a tide, and rushed to this paradise city where they could rest, drink and eat in peace.

    "Brother Lu, Man Gou is here. There are not many people, should we fight or not?" Li Tianzhi asked Fatty Lu impatiently.

    Fatty Lu didn't answer in a hurry, but carefully observed the enemy's situation with binoculars after hiding from the arrow stack. After a long time, Fatty Lu hesitated and said: "Brother Li, I feel that this team full of dogs is still a little bit fighting.  Most of the soldiers haven't broken down yet, so it's not worthwhile to expose them too early, what do you think?"

    "The last general also feels this way." Li Tianzhi also observed the enemy's situation and replied: "This army still has a little physical strength and morale, so it's really not worthwhile to fight them now and consume our few ammunition and weapons.  It¡¯s better to drag it on for a while, let them take a rest first, and relax their mind and body, so it¡¯s easier to fight.¡±

    "Then act according to the original plan." Fatty Lu nodded, and ordered in a low voice: "Brother Li, you go to restrain the main force, Officer Hong Xi, you come forward to answer Man Gou, buy more time, I will teach you here  After that, Fatty Lu sat on the city wall, covered his body with arrow stacks and continued to observe the enemy's situation, while Li Tianzhi and Hong Xiguan split up and made their own preparations.

    When Fatty Lu and others were almost ready, Prince Kang Jieshu, the forward who opened the way for the defeated Qing army, had already led the defeated Qing army to the city wall of Bajiang. To Jieshu's surprise, it was supposed to be Tu Hai.  The Qing army team deployed here not only did not open the city to welcome them, but also closed the city gates tightly.  In addition, there are traces of gunpowder smoke after the explosion of gunpowder on the city gate, as if a war has just been experienced.

    "Stop! Stop! Stop for me!" A general of the Qing army wearing a collar uniform shouted on the city wall, shouting with a Cantonese accent: "Stop, if you don't stop, you will shoot with arrows!"

    "What happened?" Jie Shu wondered, but in order to prevent his own army from killing each other, Jie Shu waved his hand in time, ordered the army to stop advancing, and shouted: "Don't shoot the arrow, it's our own! Hurry up!"  Open the city gate, Wu Gou's army is about to catch up to Shangzhai, open the city quickly and let us in!"

    "Who are you? That army? Do you have any badges, arrows or official documents?" The Qing army leader yelled and asked, and waved the Qing army soldiers to put down a small hanging basket.  Jie Shu hurriedly took off his identity badge, sent someone to put it in a basket, and hung it on the city wall for the defenders to inspect.

    "It turned out to be Prince Kang, Prince Kang!" The Qing army leader screamed after reading the waist card, hurriedly saluted Qian, and shouted respectfully: "Pingnan General Laita's leader, Zhenghongqi stationed in Guangzhou Erjiala slave  ¡ª¡ªHeshen, Niu Jilu family, please greet the master of the family."

    "It turns out that you are also one of us Zhenghongqi." Jie Shu, the leader of Zhenghongqi, was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "Free yourself, open the city gate quickly, let us go in and rest."

    "Cover." He Shen agreed, and then ordered loudly: "Quick, open the city gate quickly, and welcome the prince into the city."

    "Wait a minute." At this moment, an ugly scholar dressed as a Confucian scholar jumped out on the city wall, cupped his hands to He Shen and said, "General He, don't forget General Shubuku's order. If you don't see Gongwen Lingjian or Taishi Ao himself,  Do not open the city, beware of Wu Gou repeating his old tricks and pretending to be our soldiers to cheat the city!"

    "Don't worry, Mr. Wang." He Shen held up Jieshu's badge and explained: "Look, Mr. Wang, this is definitely the badge of Lord Kang, and it must not be faked."

    &nbspWhen the others turned pale with shock, they quickly turned their heads to look carefully, but saw that the sky around the seven fields in the southwest was brightly lit, and countless soldiers of the Wu army were rushing toward this side with densely packed torches.

    "Huh?" At the same time, in the main force of the Wu army, Wu Sangui and the old traitor Wu also discovered this situation that surprised him so much that he couldn't believe it - the Qing army's defeated brigade that had a good chance to escape under the circumstances of Oboi's desperate cover.  , was silted up in the extremely dangerous narrow basin at the foot of Bajiang Mountain, and no one could escape!

    Seeing this scene, the old traitor Wu couldn't help laughing wildly, "Oboi old thief, God is going to kill you! I didn't expect your subordinates to be so stupid that they haven't escaped Bajiang City until now. They just want to kill you alive!"  Die!"

    "If you ask for thieves from the sky, the prince will win! If you ask for thieves from the sky, the prince will win!" At this time, in Bajiang City, which was guarding the throat on the top of the mountain, a neat and loud slogan sounded suddenly, which made old traitor Wu ecstatic and let  Aobai's face was ashen, and at the same time, the old man Wu and Ao were very surprised by the neat slogan, "If you ask for a thief from the sky, the prince will win! If you ask the sky for a thief, the prince will win!"

    "When will my army arrive at Bajiang City first?" Old Traitor Wu raised his binoculars in surprise.

    "When did Wu Sangui's army arrive first in Bajiang City?" Almost at the same time, old man Ao raised his binoculars in despair.

    Just at this moment, in the binoculars of Old Man Wu and Old Man Ao, torches and lanterns illuminated the head of Bajiang City as bright as day, and Qing army flags were thrown down the city wall, replaced by Wu army flags fluttering in the wind one after another, and the largest  There is a large character written on the flag - Lu!

    "Lu Yifeng¡ª!" Old Traitor Wu and Old Man Ao shouted at the same time, "When did he arrive in Bajiang City?"

    "Good grandson-in-law! I didn't marry my granddaughter to you for nothing!"

    "Lu Yifeng is a barbarian! This old man has been on the battlefield all his life, so he is going to die at the hands of a nobody like you today?!"

    "If you ask the sky for thieves, the prince will win! If you ask the sky for thieves, the prince will win!"

    At the head of Bajiang City, Fatty Lu was full of vigor, holding a sword in his hand and waving his sword in a dignified manner, shouting, "Shout together, old thief Oboi, you have been surrounded by the prince, surrender and don't kill!"

    "Cousin, cousin!" Before the Fatty Army could shout a new slogan under the command of Fatty Lu, Qin Yong, Fatty Lu's cousin, suddenly stumbled up the city wall of the west gate, pulled Fatty Lu by the sleeve, and shouted mournfully, "Cousin  , something bad happened, a team of dogs came from the east gate, and we were also surrounded!"

    "What? We're surrounded too?!" Fatty Lu almost sat down on the ground¡ªit was the first time that his direct descendant, the Fatty Army of the Qujing Green Camp, fought alone on the battlefield without relying on friendly troops.  The situation, and was still flanked by the two armies of the Qing army when he couldn't run even if he wanted to run. Can this battle still be fought?

    Hell¡¯s debt must be repaid quickly. In order to monopolize the military exploits, Fatty Lu tried his best to surround the main force of the Qing army, but in the end he was surrounded by the main force of the Qing army and the partial division of the Qing army.  It's retribution, you deserve it!  As for Fatty Lu, he was cut to pieces by Qing soldiers on the battlefield?  Or was he chopped alive by Ling Chi after being captured alive by the Qing soldiers?

 Chapter 177 The Bloody Battle in Bajiang

    ?

    (ps: It¡¯s been a long time since I asked for a monthly pass. Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation ticket, and ask for a reward and encouragement.)

    He tried his best and even was willing to miss the great opportunity to beat the dog in the water. Finally, he surrounded the enemy's main force, but was surrounded by the enemy's return reinforcements and the main force. Such a bad luck happened to him, and Fatty Lu almost hit the wall.  I have all of them¡ªhow could I be so unlucky, and I just ran into such a coincidence when I was fighting alone for the first time?

    It was too late to regret it, and it was too late for Fatty Lu to hit the city wall. Just on the official road at the foot of the mountain in the east of Bajiang City, there was indeed such a team of Qing troops with torches, walking quickly towards the city.  The east gate of Bajiang City came to kill.  As a result, an extremely chaotic and ridiculous situation appeared on the entire Bajiang battlefield. From west to east, the four armies were the main force of the Wu army, the main force of the Qing army, the fat man army, and the partial division of the Qing army.  There is an enemy, a part of the enemy is surrounded, and a part of yourself is also surrounded by the enemy!

    In such a situation, for the two warring parties, it is not so much a fight to the death, a fight to the death, but a competition between the surrounded armies on both sides who can last longer, and who can be killed by the enemy for a while later.  Whoever can support the army to the end will have the last laugh.

    What is seriously disproportionate is that there are more than 30,000 troops surrounded by the Qing army, and the commander is the old man Aobaiao who has been known as the first Batulu in the Qing Dynasty more than 30 years ago and has experienced many battles;  The army only has more than 2,100 people, and the commander is Lu Yifeng, Lu Sanhao, Lu Fatty, who is under 30 years old, has no strength to restrain a chicken, and is a fledgling

    With such a huge contrast, the only thing that can give Fatty Lu a little confidence is that the strength of the Qing army returning from the east seems to be running out-although it is too late to see how many enemies are coming from the east, but from  Judging by the number and length of the torches of this Qing army, the number of this Qing army is definitely not that much.

    At the same time, another thing that is beneficial to Fatty Lu is the terrain of Bajiang City. The north and south sides of Bajiang City on the short hills are surrounded by high mountains and dense forests. The Qing army could neither pass through nor attack the north and south directions of Bajiang City.  The east and west walls of the pincer attack were less than one mile long, and the 2,100 troops of the Fat Man Army were not stretched enough to maintain the defense line, and their strength was barely sufficient.

    But even so, with the support of reinforcements, the main force of the besieged Qing army saw a glimmer of hope for escape, so naturally it was impossible to easily give up hope and give up resistance.  Therefore, no matter how few Qing troops came from the east, Fatty Lu would have to fight old man Ao to the death.

    "Damn it, just fight!" Knowing that it's useless to be upset, Fatty Lu gritted his teeth and simply played a bachelor's temper - anyway, there's no way to run away, and Jiang is looking for death, so it's better to fight to the death.  Not sure.

    Taking advantage of the fact that the reinforcements of the Qing army from the east had not arrived at the city, and the main force of the Qing army had not reacted to launch a storm, Fatty Lu made a speech to most of the Fatty Army on the tower of Bajiang West Gate, where the Fatty Army had the most defenders.  A very short speech, as follows:

    "Brothers, soldiers, let's not talk nonsense. The current situation is very critical. We are surrounded by the main force of Man Gou, but we are also surrounded by the main force of Man Gou and partial divisions. In order to survive, Man Gou must fight us desperately  As for us, there is no place to run, and we don¡¯t even think about surrendering¡ªMan Gou was chased by our Yunnan-Guizhou main force and jumped over the wall, and he would never ask for prisoners. Even if you surrender Man Gou, Man Gou won¡¯t let you go  you!"

    "Can't run, can't surrender, what should I do? We have to fight! Fight to the death with Mangou, and persist until our main force rescues us, then we have hope of survival! There is not enough troops, and I don't set up any supervising team, I just want you guys  Remember, remember the wives and children in your family, remember the gray-haired parents and relatives in your family! For yourselves, for your parents, wives and children, join me, bet this life, and fight Mangou to the death!  Brothers, shout with me - the city is alive, the city is dead and the people are dead!"

    "The city is alive and the people are dead!" Li Tianzhi, Xiao Erlang, Hong Xiguan, Fang Shiyu, Kong Fanlin, Luo Kedi, Qin Yong, Zhu Fangdan, Wang Shaobo and other Fatty Lu's buddies took the lead in responding, raised their arms and shouted, and followed rhythmically  Fatty Lu shouted, "The city is alive and the people are alive, and the city is dead and the people are dead! The city is alive and the people are dead! The city is alive, and the people are dead!"

    "The city is alive, and the city is dead! The city is alive, and the city is dead!" Fatty Lu's psychological infection tactics were quite successful. Under the leadership of Fatty Lu, Li Tianzhi and others, the soldiers of Fatty's army also had rhythm.  They shouted the slogans "City is in, people are in, city is dead, people are dead". The slogans became louder and more orderly.  Infected by everyone's emotions, even the fat manA Jintai, the deputy governor, suddenly cried out, "Oh, my master, you killed me, my slave!"

    "Oops!" Zhao Liangdong was also in a tizzy, crying in his heart: "What should I do? To fight or not to fight? Lord An went to chase after the army in Tutang, without him being so tall, if I hurt Lord Kang,  The emperor and the prince will settle their accounts in the future, so why don't I copy and kill all the families?"

    "Shout out, tell them to retreat!" Wang Shaobo threw the dagger at Jie Shu's face, threatening him viciously.

    "Bah!" Jie Shu was quite stubborn, and spit out a mouthful of phlegm on Wang Shaobo's ugly face.

    Wang Shaobo didn't wipe it, but just passed the dagger lightly, piercing Jie Shu's cheek and bleeding, while slowly stretching the wound, he said in an extremely cold voice: "Master Kang, to tell you the truth, student, I am alone and have nothing to worry about.  It¡¯s okay to eat enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry, and it¡¯s okay to lose your life. I lost a bowl-sized scar on my head, but if I can drag a **** to be buried with me, even if I can¡¯t live forever, I can leave a bad name for thousands of years, and it¡¯s worth it.¡±

    "Or." Wang Shaobo touched Jie Shu's lower body coldly again, and said with a smirk: "Since ancient times, there has only been one Tong Guan who became a eunuch first and then became a king. If I can castrate a bastard who has already been crowned king,  Then I will definitely be able to make a name in history. But don¡¯t worry, my lord, there is a genius doctor standing beside you. Even if the students cut off your job as a man, you will never lose your life.  In the world."

    As he said that, Wang Shaobo's dagger had already reached Jie Shu's crotch, and Jie Shu's hair stood on end for a while, and he couldn't help crying, "Listen, people below, I am your prince, Prince Kang, and I now order you  , retreat immediately, retreat immediately¡ª¡ª! Retreat this king immediately¡ª¡ª!¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The sound of shouting and killing at the east gate suddenly stopped. At first, it really scared Fatty Lu. He almost thought that the east gate had fallen, but what made Fatty Lu wondered was that if the east gate fell, there should be soldiers from the east gate.  The sound of cheers and shouts?  Why is it so silent?

    "Bang bang bang bang!" There was another sound of heavy footsteps coming from the upper steps of the city, and Fatty Lu's heart couldn't help but rose to his throat.  The face appeared in front of Fatty Lu in time, leading more than 300 fatty soldiers to join the battlefield for reinforcements, and shouted together, "The enemy has retreated from the east gate, retreated from the east gate! Brothers, hold on, we  Here to help you!"

    Roaring, Qin Yong's army threw out dozens of grenades that were not willing to use up all of them. Amidst the rumbling explosions, this small but extremely important army ran into the battlefield holding up their knives and guns.  Then he stabilized the already crumbling defense line of the Fatty Army, slashed and killed fiercely with a knife, and drove many Qing soldiers who had rushed up the city wall back down.

    "Why is the east gate quiet? What's going on?" Although the situation at the east gate of Bajiang could not be seen, the sound of shouting and explosions at the east gate of Bajiang suddenly stopped, and seeing that the Wu army had received reinforcements, it had rushed to the point where blood flowed  Le Erjin, the first-line commander of the Bajiang West Gate, suddenly spun and screamed: "What's wrong with the East Gate? Was it repelled? Or did they leave us alone and ran away?"

    At the same time, on the wall of the East Gate of Bajiang, where only a hundred soldiers from the Fatty Army were left guarding, Wang Shaobo put a dagger on Jie Shu's face, and shouted hysterically at the soldiers of the general Mi Qing who had not dared to retreat all the time.  "Listen to me, whoever dares to go further, I will cut off your prince immediately, first cut off two ears, then cut off nose, then cut off ten fingers, ten toes¡ª!"

    "You dog slaves, get the hell out of here! Withdraw! I am the emperor's own cousin, and there is a secret decree from the emperor. You all have to obey me. I order you to withdraw now! Retreat to me¡ª!"  Continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

 Chapter 178 Goodbye, Old General!

    ?

    "Go to hell!"

    Aobai roared and jumped up, the forty-two-jin thick-backed machete in his left hand slashed down obliquely, the soldier in front of him was also extremely desperate, and instead of dodging or evading, he roared the same way, and swung the huge sword horizontally  Cutting off Oboi's jumping legs, who would have thought that Oboi's left foot would suddenly lift up and step down in mid-air, not only dodging the huge sword that was swept by the jiu soldiers, but also stepped on the blade of the sword, turning the huge sword  Stepping on the side, Oboi took advantage of the momentum and jumped into the air again, completely dodged the huge sword of the Hunui soldier with a front somersault, and during the toss, the thick-backed machete changed from top to bottom to bottom to top.  The back of the jiu soldier was split alive, and the blood sprayed was immediately splashed all over Oboi's body and face.

    Plop, the excessive energy consumption made it impossible for Oboi to complete this front somersault smoothly. After splitting the back of the Jiujiu soldier, the last bit of strength in Oboi's body seemed to be completely drained, and he just turned his back down like this  He fell on his back to the ground, on the wet and slippery soil of Guizhou that had been soaked in blood. His burly bear-like body crushed at least three or four corpses of soldiers who did not know which army they came from, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

    "Kill!" Another soldier of the Wu Army rushed up, raised his knife with both hands and chopped down at Oboi's waist, and Oboi was so tired that he couldn't even raise his hands, and even if he sensed it, he didn't even have the strength to dodge.  Can watch the enemy's saber cut towards his waist.  Seeing that the Wu army soldier's saber was about to cut Oboi in half, a big hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the Wu army soldier's saber angrily.

    "Go to hell!" Taking advantage of this little opportunity to catch his breath, Oboi took a deep breath of bloody air, mustered up the last bit of strength, and swung his thick-backed machete to hit the Wu army soldier's waist.  Obai's remaining strength was no longer enough to cut off the Wu soldier's waist, but it was also enough to kill the Wu soldier on the spot.

    Bang, the Wu army soldier fell with Oboi's machete between his wounds, and Oboi's palm leaf fan fell to the ground weakly. Hadaha, who had grabbed the fatal knife for Oboi with five disabled fingers, also fell on Oboi.  Fortunately, the soldiers of the Wu army around at this moment were either killed or had already been killed, and Oboi and Hadaha were lucky enough to escape. Otherwise, at this moment, even the most ordinary Wu army soldier would be able to kill him in one fell swoop.  The two members of Obai and Hadaha cleared the heads of the fierce generals.

    After a long time, Hadaha finally got up, knelt down in a pool of blood to help Oboi, but it was only at this moment that Hadaha realized that his right ring finger and little finger had disappeared together, and his left hand had already been fractured.  I can't help Oboi at all.  But fortunately, Oboi regained some strength, struggled to sit up, and asked hoarsely, "How is it? Can you hold on?"

    "Back to the grand master, the general is fine, and he will definitely be able to hold on." Hadaha replied hoarsely, and then asked with concern: "Teacher, are you okay? The general saw just now, it seems that you have been shot again in the leg  One knife, does it matter?"

    Isn't it as simple as being cut again by a knife on Oboi's body?  All over the body, from head to toe, there is almost no place that is not injured. Even the chest and abdomen are still stuck with three arrows that have been cut off!  As for how many Wu Jun's musket bullets and firearm shrapnel were still buried in other parts of the body, this is really a question that Oboi himself does not know.  But Aobai still gave the same answer, with a pale and ugly face that had lost too much blood, he forced a smile, "It's a trivial matter, this little injury won't kill me."

    More than a dozen wounded soldiers of Oboi climbed up from the pile of corpses, staggered over, helped Oboi and Hadaha to stand up together, one of the soldiers coughed and reported: "Grand Master, brother  Ladies and gentlemen, there is only so much left, generals Yisang'a, Tangha, Zhang Haibo, and Nalanbao have all died for their country."

    Coughing while playing the report, what the Oboi soldier coughed up was dark red blood, which stained his chest and skirt red.  Aobai looked at him with concern, patted him on the shoulder as a commendation and award, and then raised his head to observe the battlefield. He saw that the blocking position of the self-army had basically been compressed to the foot of Bajiang Mountain by the main force of the Wu army. In the darkness, Ba  Although there were shouts of killing everywhere around the Jiang Basin, judging from the loudness and distance of the voices, it would be impossible for the Qing army to regroup after being dispersed by the main force of the Wu army.

    When I looked back to the top of Bajiang Mountain, the binoculars had been thrown there and Oboi was stabbed in the corner of his eye. Although he couldn't see the battle at the top of Bajiang City, the continuous shouts and battles on the top of the mountain told Oboi something.  The cruel fact is that Bajiang City, the retreat route for the main force of the Qing army, still has not been opened.  Finally looking at the already whitening sky in the east, Oboi felt a sense of admiration in his despair, and couldn't help muttering: "Boy Lu Yifeng, you are really a man. He has supported all night and yet he has not been beaten yet."  ?He asked, and said lightly: "I just hope that the prince will keep his promise, not to kill the soldiers of the Eight Banners who surrendered, and let them go home, let them go home and reunite with their families."

    The old traitor Wu fell silent again. After a long time, the old traitor Wu said slowly: "This is Wang Jun's decree. All soldiers who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty shall not be abused or injured at will. Those who disobey the order shall be beheaded."

    The officers and soldiers of the surrounding Wu army agreed in unison, Oboi's ugly and rough old man finally showed a gratified smile, and said softly: "Thank you, my lord, my right hand is broken, and my left hand is inconvenient. Please ask your lord to help me."

    "When did this king kill a prisoner with his own hands?" Old Han Wu asked back treacherously.

    "Then please ask the prince's subordinates to do it." Obai smiled, then glanced at Lu Fatty next to the old traitor Wu, and said with a smile: "Boy Lu, how about you help me? Guizhou decisive battle, you come to your prince."  It is said to be a great contribution, even though this old man is your enemy, he also admires you very much, if he can die at your hands, this old man can also rest in peace."

    Fatty Lu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. The old traitor Wu handed the treasured knife in his hand to Fatty Lu, and said, "Wait until the old man is far away before doing it, and the head will be buried in public."  The guards walked away.

    It wasn't until Old Wu's treacherous team had gone far away that Fatty Lu came to Oboi's side, raised his knife with both hands, and said in a hoarse voice, "Old General, are you ready? This junior is about to strike."

    "Wait a minute." Oboi stopped Fatty Lu suddenly, turned his head slightly, glanced sideways at Fatty Lu and said, "Boy Lu, I can see that with your resourcefulness and strategy, your future future will definitely not be inferior to this old man. Before this old man dies,  Can I ask you one thing?"

    "Old general, please tell me, this junior will do his best." Fatty Lu replied in a deep voice.

    "In the future, if you are the first to break through Beijing." Obai said slowly, "Can you promise me that there will be less killing and let us all survive?"

    Fatty Lu hesitated, and after a long time, Fatty Lu said in a hoarse voice: "Old General, I'm sorry, you Manchurians have committed too many crimes, for the sake of our Han people who were innocently slaughtered, and for the descendants of the Chinese nation, your request,  Juniors cannot agree."

    "Really?" Obai's expression was gloomy for a while, and he said with a wry smile, "So, I can only pray for a miracle, and you won't be the first to break through the city of Beijing. I can only pray that the emperor will stop acting foolishly and forcing you  The Han Chinese wiped out all of us Manchus."

    After finishing the wry smile, Oboi straightened his body cross-legged, raised his head, and said loudly: "Boy Lu, let's do it! Be quick!"

    "Goodbye, old general!" Fatty Lu roared, holding the knife in both hands and slashing hard, hitting Oboi hard on the back of the neck.

    While the blood gushed out, Oboi's head flew up, and on his ugly face, there was even a smile, a relieved smile.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 179 Hidden danger

    ?

    As the head of Oboi was passed on to the public by the Wu army, the magnificent Guizhou war finally came to an end. Of the 220,000 Qing troops that entered Guizhou, only less than 30,000 remnants were defeated. Under the leadership of Tu Hai and Yue Le  Fleeing back to Huguang, the rest were either wiped out or captured. The loss of military horses, money, food, weapons and luggage was incalculable, and the loss could not be estimated at all.  What's more terrible is that the grassroots generals in the Qing army suffered heavy losses, and the elite was almost empty. Without three to five years of battlefield training, it is impossible to recover.

    Of course, in the era of cold weapons, if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose at least eight hundred. Although Wu Sangui's army, with the full help of Lu Fatty, has rapidly transitioned from cold weapons to hot weapons, after a battle, it is still worthless.  There are more than 15,000 Yunnan-Guizhou soldiers who have been buried forever on the land of Guizhou on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The weapons and ammunition consumed are also countless. At the same time, because of the scorched-earth tactics adopted by the deputy commander of the Qing army Tuhai when he retreated, the towns and cities of Guizhou along the way will be destroyed.  The villages were completely burned, and the Qing army was deliberately allowed to burn, kill and loot, venting the anger of the main force's disastrous defeat on the people of Guizhou, and the losses of the people of Guizhou were even more immeasurable.

    It is precisely because of Tuhai's brutal policy that it completely angered the people of Yunnan and Guizhou, which are already tough and tough, and caused countless people of Yunnan and Guizhou to besiege the Qing army's captive team, and they wanted to swallow the captured Qing army soldiers and generals alive and destroy them for their own innocence.  Although the old traitor Wu strictly prohibited them from exchanging these captives for their children and grandchildren, many Qing army captives died tragically under the angry bricks, stones and fists of the people of Yunnan and Guizhou.  As for the stragglers of the Qing army who fled into the deep mountains and old forests, they died more miserable one by one.  Not many people in Yunnan and Guizhou were willing to exchange the captured Qing soldiers for silver when they released the captives.

    Tuhai listened to Zhou Peigong's suggestion to adopt scorched earth tactics to destroy the villages and cities in Guizhou on the way to retreat. It was not just for venting.  The main force of the Wu army provides countless conveniences. Instead of doing this, it is better to completely destroy it, leaving a piece of ruins to cause headaches for the Wu army, leaving a large number of homeless and foodless Guizhou people to increase the burden on the Wu army, and delay the counterattack speed of the Wu army's main force.  , Increase Wu Jun's financial burden of money and food.

    Another important purpose of scorched earth tactics is to boost morale and stabilize the morale of the army. It is well known that the Qing army is more brutal than the devils who invaded China.  If Hai is still as foolish as Oboi and strictly enforces military discipline and prohibits disturbing the people, then within three days, the brutal Manchu generals and soldiers will definitely be torn apart, and Tu Hai, who has just been released from the sky prison for a few days, will no longer be taken away.  The deputy commander looked at it, and the army split and collapsed faster.

    In view of these circumstances, Tu Hai simply disregarded Yue Le's strong opposition, no longer restrained military discipline, and allowed the mite Qing army to rape and plunder in order to buy people's hearts and stabilize the army's morale.  The next step is to resist the Wu army's counterattack and lay the foundation, which will achieve multiple goals in one fell swoop.  ¡ª¡ªAs for the life and death of the people in Guizhou, the notorious scholars of Tu University and Admiral Zhou, who are notorious in terms of military discipline in history, don't have the heart to care so much.

    Faced with the shameless tactics of the Tuhai army, although the whole army of Yunnan and Guizhou was furious, the army was too tired, and the transportation of ammunition and food was inconvenient, so it was impossible to launch a counterattack immediately.  And go, only to catch up with a few Qing army troops in the rear to annihilate and retaliate, and can no longer severely injure and annihilate more Qing army troops in Guizhou, holding back their anger and waiting for a full-scale counterattack to demand this blood debt.

    After a short four-day rest, the various units of the Wu army recovered their physical strength and morale one after another. The captured more than 16,000 soldiers of the Qing army were also detained in a prisoner-of-war camp outside Guiyang City, waiting to be screened and selected to supplement the army.  Important prisoners of war such as Jieshu, Leerjin, Zhangtai and other Qing princes Baylor were held incommunicado, waiting to be used for hostage exchange.  On the 15th day of June in the 11th year of Qingkang Mazi, the old traitor Wu held a meeting in the Chinese military camp outside Guiyang City to discuss the next tactical plan with the important civil and military officials of the Wu army.

    Having just won a decisive victory, the important generals and officials of the Wu army were naturally very relaxed. There was constant laughter at the meeting.  Fatty Lu was worried, and asked deliberately: "Yifeng, what's wrong with you? Everyone is smiling, but you have a mournful face. Did you lose money again when you gambled last night?"

    All the generals of the Wu army laughed together, thinking of the name of Fatty Lu's frequently defeated general.  Fatty Lu replied with a sad face: "Back to grandfather, grandson-in-law always loses every bet. That time he played with money and didn't lose money? I'm used to it!"?You don¡¯t need to teach me, I have fought all my life, and I still don¡¯t understand this truth?  "Old traitor Wu laughed.

    "It's good if you understand? In history, you, an idiot, failed to attack Wuhan and immediately retreated. Let Man Gou calmly gather in Wuhan, and finally let Yue Le Man Gou go to Jiangxi, cutting off your connection with Jiangnan.  The situation." Fatty Lu murmured again in his heart, but he continued to tell him uneasy, "Grandfather, please allow my grandson-in-law to repeat a word, Wuchang is an important town, the city is high and the moats are deep, full of dogs must gather heavy troops to defend, if the siege fails,  You can use tunnels to bury explosives to blow up the city, and the city will definitely be broken."

    "Understood, can I remember it?" Old man Wu scolded with a treacherous smile, barely remembered Fatty Lu's suggestion in his heart, and then ordered: "After a while, you and Ying Qi go to choose the army.  Ask him to give you more elite soldiers, and the speed must be fast, the battle in Guangxi is raging, and there is no delay."

    Fatty Lu respectfully agreed again, and the old traitor Wu discussed with the generals about various issues of troop deployment, and soon announced the adjournment, and hosted a banquet for the generals to celebrate the victory in Guizhou. Fatty Lu and Wu Yingqi left temporarily to go to Wu Yingqi  The army selected the 1,000 troops that the old traitor Wu promised to supply, and at the same time ordered Li Tianzhi and Kong Fanlin to go to the prisoner camp to select qualified prisoners to be used to replenish the army.

    "Second Prince, Lord Lu, wait a minute." Just as they were about to walk out of the Chinese army camp, Wu Yingqi and Fatty Lu, who were chatting and laughing, were suddenly stopped. When Fatty Lu looked back, he saw that this person turned out to be  Wang Shirong, who has always seldom paid attention to him.  Fatty Lu couldn't help laughing and said, "Mr. Wang, where does the sun come out today? Did you hear me right?"

    "If it wasn't for something important, I wouldn't be bothered to talk to you." Wang Shirong still looked as if Fatty Lu owed him 800 taels of silver, and then cupped his hands to Wu Yingqi and said, "Second Prince, the student wants to say a few words to Mr. Lu."  , I wonder if the second prince can wait for a while?"

    "Hurry up." Wu Yingqi said lazily: "We still have to draw troops, it's getting late."

    "Understood, soon." Wang Shirong cupped his hands, and gave Fatty Lu another wink. Fatty Lu understood, and hurriedly walked together with Wang Shirong to a place away from other people.

    "Lord Lu, the strategy you proposed today is correct." Wang Shirong said in a low voice, "But have you thought about it? It's been a long time, and the prince's age is here. In case, who else in our army can  Convincing the public, who else can command the entire army like arms and fingers? You don't want to count on our two hundred and five second prince? Or count on our grandson who is only eight years old?"

    "Isn't this kid stupid, to think about the unfavorable situation if the traitor Wu dies halfway?" Fatty Lu sneered in his heart, and replied in a low voice: "Mr. Liangchen thought it right, and it is precisely because of this consideration  One point, the students suggested that the prince should be replaced by the eldest prince, the eldest prince is a son with outstanding talents, he is a natural and convincing heir, with him in charge, what do we have to worry about?"

    "The eldest prince can come back, of course we don't have to worry about anything." Wang Shirong said in a gloomy tone: "But if Man Gou also considers this point and insists on taking the eldest prince, then what should we do?"

    "With Laozi here, what are you afraid of? If Wu Yingxiong really comes back, Laozi's early life will be even more difficult." Fatty Lu smiled colder and colder in his heart, and sighed on his mouth: "Mr.  Why isn't the officer worried? But besides this method and doing our best to rescue the eldest prince, what else can we do?"

    Wang Shirong was speechless. After a long silence, Wang Shirong sighed and said, "I hope so. If the eldest prince is killed, then our troubles and hidden dangers will be too great."

 Chapter 180 The Sinner of the Qing Dynasty

    ?

    After eight or nine days of running for their lives in a hurry and discarding all their supplies to lighten their burden, the over 20,000 remnants of the Qing army led by Tu Hai finally escaped from this living hell in Guizhou, but they were terrified by the Wu army.  Tuhai, Yue Le, Zhou Peigong and others did not dare to stand firm in Huangzhou, and left the defense to the local government of Huangzhou and Yuanzhou, leading the defeated army and fled directly to Chenzhou, which is far away from Guizhou.  Stationed here to discuss the next step of contingency countermeasures and aftermath.

    Almost at the same time as Tuhai, Yue Le, and Tsani held a meeting of the surviving senior generals of the Qing army, new bad news came. The main force of the Wu army with 50,000 troops marched from Guiyang, and the Wu army stationed in Dading was also dispatched.  Li Benshen's Department, the Wu Army's Han Daren Department stationed in Zunyi, and more than 60,000 auxiliary troops outside the establishment. The total strength of the three armies exceeds 120,000.  Guandao was heading towards Huguang, and he assumed the posture of rushing into Huguang from all fronts.

    Hearing this news, Tu Hai, Yue Le, Hua Shan and others who had already been frightened by Wu Jun inevitably turned pale. Now the battleable army in Pianyuan is the more than 20,000 remnants in Chenzhou City who are still in shock.  After being defeated, the rest of the local garrison is sloppy when they bully the common people, but when they are actually sent to the battlefield, they are not even qualified to use up the strength of the Wu army as cannon fodder.  Urgently dispatching troops from other provinces, can we make it in time?

    "Prince An, it is impossible for Tutang, Chanibele, and Chenzhou to defend." Zhou Peigong was very calm, and was the first to say: "Don't talk about Chenzhou, even Changde, Changsha and Hengzhou are impossible to hold.  The best way is to return to Yuezhou and stick to it, trade space for time, and rely on Dongting Lake to wait for the navy to respond."

    "Fart!" Yue Le was furious, "Return to Yuezhou and stick to it, and give the whole Pianyuan to the old thief Wu Sangui? If the old thief Wu Sangui storms Yuezhou, will you still go back to Wuchang?"

    "My lord is right. If our reinforcements still haven't arrived when the old bandit Wu Sangui storms Yuezhou, there is only Wuchang." Zhou Peigong said very seriously: "Wuchang city has high moats and deep fortifications.  The more than 20,000 troops of Tang, together with us, should be sure to defend Wuchang and buy time to wait for the counterattack."

    "Say you are fat, and you are still panting?" Yue Le was even more furious, and roared: "Do you know what punishment is for losing a city or land? If you lose a county seat, you can even behead it, let alone lose the whole Pianyuan?"

    "My lord, of course this servant knows what the crime of losing the city and land is." Zhou Peigong asked in a neither humble nor overbearing way: "I just ask the lord, if you don't do this? What is the lord going to do? Do you plan to stick to Chenzhou? Changde? Changsha? Or  Go south to defend Hengzhou and Baoqing?"

    Yue Le was taken aback for a moment, and finally let go like a deflated ball, unable to utter another word¡ªthe actual situation of the Qing army right now is here, if you don't follow Zhou Peigong's suggestion, run to the Yangtze River  To defend a few vital points, and to continue to defend in the hinterland of Hunan where there are no soldiers and no support, the more than 20,000 Qing army elites and army seeds that Oboi sacrificed his life to protect will definitely be taken by Wu Sangui's army.

    "Okay, okay, let's stop arguing, let's discuss how to explain to the court and plead guilty." Tu Hai came out to smooth things over, and said helplessly: "Guizhou was defeated, and more than two hundred thousand troops died.  With less than 30,000 people, Grand Master Ao died in battle, and Prince Kang, King Shuncheng and a lot of princes Baylor were captured. We are all to blame. Don¡¯t say that you can¡¯t keep Biyuan, even if you can keep Biyuan  In the future, the emperor and the imperial court will pursue the guilt of Guizhou's disastrous defeat, and we will still have a dead end, so do we care about one or two more charges?"

    "Tutang, so you are also in favor of retreating to Yuezhou?" Duduo's fourth son, Bellezani, asked tentatively.

    "Master Baylor, I'm in such a mess right now, I really can't decide what to do." Tuhai sighed, and said helplessly, "Let's ask Lord An and Chabelle to make up their minds. I'm the only one who will see you."

    "Old cunning, you obviously dare not bear the responsibility of abandoning the whole province of Pianyuan, and you still say that we are the only ones following the horse?" Chani cursed inwardly, saying that you are a traitor, and I am not stupid, anyway, there is a tall man like Yue Le  Two hundred and five, who of us is afraid of whom?  At that moment, Chani turned to Yue Le again, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Wang, you are the one with the most noble status and title in the entire army. Please give me an order. Let us stick to Chenzhou, and we will stick to Chenzhou.  Let us defend Yuezhou, we will defend Yuezhou to the death!"

    "Yes, my lord." Tu Hai also said hypocritically: "Now that the situation is so critical, you should stand up and take the lead as the backbone. Please make up your mind, we are all up to you! If you think you should stick to Chenzhou  , then we will stick to Chenzhou and wait for reinforcements. At worst, it will be the last battle of the Qing Dynasty.happened?  "

    Zhou Peigong's proposal was unanimously supported by Tuhai and Chani, who applauded together and said, "That's right, I can't play this part. Anyway, old man Ao doesn't itch if he has too many lice, and he doesn't worry about debts. Let him carry it all by himself."  Come to think of it, it was because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and refused to send reinforcements to Prince Kang, which led to Prince Kang being defeated and captured."

    Having said that, there is still one thing that makes Tu Hai very embarrassed. He doesn't know whether he should report the truth to Xiao Mazi-this matter is naturally the last two pieces of advice that Oboi wants Tu Hai to convey to Xiao Mazi  One is to ask Xiao Mazi to negotiate a peace with the Wu army, so as to buy time to prepare the army for war; the other is to kill Wu Yingxiong, so that he can put all the charges on Aobai afterwards, and use the lives of Aobai's family to appease the traitor Wu  Anger - this is also what puzzled Tu Hai the most.

    Fortunately, there was a reliable counselor beside Tuhai. That night, when Tuhai disclosed the matter to Zhou Peigong in private, Zhou Peigong immediately came to his senses and explained: "Zhongtang, Oboi is doing this for the Qing Dynasty.  To make plans in the future, right now my Qing Dynasty has lost all its elite, the people are panicked, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and will have no courage. We can only temporarily stabilize the old thief Wu Sangui, buy time to prepare the army, build weapons, and concentrate the manpower and material resources of the whole country to kill Wu Sangui.  Old thief, in this way, the losses caused by the old thief Wu Sangui can be controlled in the Huguang and Yunnan areas, so that the unrest will not expand."

    "Of course I understand this point." Tu Hai asked puzzledly: "What I don't understand is why Aobai would rather risk the lives of his whole family than the emperor must kill Wu Yingxiong? Is this Wu Yingxiong really so important?"

    "Zhongtang, this is the foresight of old man Oboi." Zhou Peigong said with a smile: "Wu Sangui, the old thief, is struggling. He has only two sons, and one of them is a well-known idiot. If you don't kill Wu Yingxiong, put Wu Yingxiong back.  Yungui, the old thief Wu Sangui has successors, and the harm caused to our Qing Dynasty is bound to last for a long time, and may even be further expanded."

    "But if Wu Yingxiong is killed, how long can the 60-year-old Wu Sangui live? After he is dead, who else can convince the crowd and convince the wolves and hungry tigers in Yunnan and Guizhou? At that time, whether it is Wu Yingqi or  When Wu Shifan succeeds to the throne, there will inevitably be civil strife in Wu Sangui's old bandit army, and Wu Dog's civil strife, won't our Qing Dynasty take advantage of it?"

    "So that's the case. No wonder old man Ao would rather risk his family's life than ask the emperor to kill Wu Yingxiong. So he was planning for this!" Tu Hai suddenly realized, and began to admire Ao Bai's foresight.  But after thinking about it, Tuhai inevitably felt even more embarrassed, and asked: "Pei Gong, now that you are me, should you report this passage to the emperor truthfully? If you do not, it will harm the country.  Then wouldn't it prove that the old man Oboi was very sober and calm at the time, and the matter of letting me lead the army to withdraw first and him in the rear, wouldn't it be completely exposed?"

    "Enxiang, do you still want to give it to others for such a great contribution?" Zhou Peigong said with a half-smile: "To kill Wu Yingxiong to break the root of Wu Sangui's old thief, to create an opportunity for Wugou's civil strife, such a far-sighted decision¡ª¡ªen  I think you are loyal to the country, can't you issue a secret decree and personally suggest that the emperor do this?"

 Chapter 181 Eastern Front Battlefield

    ?

    (ps: I have a toothache that makes my saliva drool, and I can't concentrate. The number of words is short. Please forgive me, and please give me a few monthly tickets to treat pure wolf teeth.)

    Fatty Lu was sent to the Eastern Front by the old traitor Wu, and led his troops to assist his brother-in-law Wu Shizong. A total of more than 12,000 troops were sent to attack Guangxi. While returning to Kunming to actively prepare for the Eastern Expedition, Fatty Lu also took time to come  Summarize the military situation in Guangxi, and discuss with Wu Shizong the plan of the Eastern Expedition.

    It was only after statistics and summarization of Guangxi's military situation that it was discovered that compared with the main battlefield in northeast Guizhou, which was full of blood and blood, there was also the relatively calm, but actually murderous and tense battlefield in Zhengbei, Sichuan and Guizhou in Guizhou. Wu Jun's eastern battlefield only had two words  It can be described-ridiculous!

    Of course, what is ridiculous is definitely not Du Huijun and Yu Xuanjun, the two lone troops on the east front of the Wu army, but their opponents Geng Juzhong, Shang Zhixiao, and the cuckold king Sun Yanling.  First, in the first ten days of March of the eleventh year of Kang Mazi, the old traitor Shang Kexi, who was lying down and shot, sent Guangdong Admiral Yan Ziming to lead an army of 10,000 soldiers to invade Lianzhou in order to regain Lianzhou's estuary.  Before he had time to stabilize, he was beaten by Du Hui and Line Yuxuan together, and fled back to Leizhou in embarrassment. It happened that Zu Zeqing, the commander-in-chief of Guangdong Gaozhou Prefecture in the rear, was also the cousin of old traitor Wu, and he found all kinds of excuses  Life and death refused to send reinforcements to assist, causing Yan Ziming's defeated army to accumulate in the Leizhou area, unable to advance or retreat.

    In late March, after Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian and other places received Xiao Mazi's so-called imperial decree to attack Wu, Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexi, Sun Yanling and others obediently sent troops to attack Wu's eastern front.  Not too much, Geng Jingzhong asked his second younger brother Geng Juzhong to lead 5,000 second-line troops Jiaying, Sihui, and Huaiji into Guangxi, looting houses and harassing the place along the way.  There are very good reasons for asking for money, food, and military pay¡ªI was ordered to beg for thieves, and of course the food, grass, and military pay must be paid by your local officials.

    Compared with Geng Juzhong's shamelessness, Shang Kexi's second son, Shang Zhixiao, is much more aggressive. He not only threatened to break through Kunming and capture Chen Yuanyuan alive, but also asked his father for half of the Guangdong army, but it's a pity that Shang Zhixiao's powerful brother  But Shang Zhixin saw through the black heart of the second brother at a glance-if I want to take away half of the army command in Guangdong, then I, the big brother, can rule you, the brother, in the future?  So Shang Zhixin naturally held back his hands without saying a word. After a lot of open and secret fighting, Shang Zhixiao finally only got the command of the 5,000 troops and the 10,000 defeated troops in Leizhou. Out of anger and disappointment, of course Shang Zhixiao was gone.  With the mind of storming Yunnan and Guizhou, he led the army to travel all the way to the mountains and rivers, and slowly marched westward along the coastline. After walking for nearly a month, he did not reach Lianzhou, so naturally he did not fight Wu Jun.

    The one who worked the hardest was Kong Sizhen's official husband Sun Yanling, the cuckold king. After receiving the secret decree from Xiao Mazi, he dispatched the whole army without saying a word, leaving his brother Sun Yanji to guard Guilin, with the army under his direct control and his subordinate Dai Liangchen.  A total of 16,000 troops took over in his hands and went south. At the same time, he joined forces with Guangxi governor Ma Xiongzhen to order troops from all over Guangxi in the name of Guangxi generals, and joined him in Liuzhou to discuss Wu's plan.

    It is also a pity that Sun Yanling's ambition to serve the country is commendable, but his prestige in the Guangxi army as a husband and wife is pitifully low.  Few of the generals and soldiers who took over from Dai Liangchen were honest and obedient. Sun Yanling ordered them to walk forty miles a day and only walk twenty miles.  Get rid of Sun Yanling and set up a new coach.  Sun Yanling is another crab who is hard on the outside and soft on the inside, so he really didn't dare to completely anger these old Qiu Ba, so he had to swallow his anger and let them go. From Guilin to Liuzhou for hundreds of miles, Sun Yanling's army walked halfway.  many months.

    After finally arriving in Liuzhou, it doesn't mean that Sun Yanling can flex his muscles. The old general Ma Xiongma, the admiral of Guangxi who is stationed in Liuzhou, doesn't take Sun Yanling seriously.  He also refused to provide food and grass for Sun Yanling's army on the pretext that there was no food available for the young and yellow at the moment.  Under internal and external troubles, Sun Yanling, who had no ambitions, even thought about withdrawing troops. Finally, under the persuasion of the hardcore traitor Ma Xiongzhen, he gave up this plan and stationed in Liuzhou to wait for Ma Xiongzhen to allocate grain and grass supplies from various places.

    Each of the three opponents crawled slower than the other like a tortoise. Although the troops of Du Hui and Line Yuxuan were relatively weak, they were safe and sound for a while, and it was very easy.  The main force is distracted and changes.  But at the beginning of April and May, this situation changed because of an imperial decree issued by Xiao Mazi.What can I do if I can't keep everything?  Can you afford it?  "

    "Of course we can't pay for this." Du Hui smiled wryly, and said: "But war is like this. If the flames of war do not affect the people, that is a good thing that has never existed since ancient times. The only way is to report this deeply on the battlefield.  Qiu Xue hates it."

    "Then just watch" Hu Tongchun was about to insist.  Line Yu Xuan interrupted with a wave of his hand, and said softly: "Brother Hu, needless to say, General Du is right. It is impossible not to affect the people completely during a war. This is something that no one can avoid. Since the Pingxi Palace wants to  If we stick to Nanning for another two months, then we will stick to it for more than half a year, and still care about the last two months?"

    "Besides, although Nanning is good, we can't be confined to Nanning forever." Line Yuxuan said with great foresight: "Now that Prince Pingxi has defeated the main force of Oboi's lackeys, and a full-scale counterattack is imminent, it is impossible for us Nanning soldiers  I will always hide in the back to enjoy the blessings, and sooner or later I will obey the order of the prince and go north to kill thieves, and there will be places that are more prosperous and richer than Nanning to occupy, so why bother to stick to the gains and losses of one city and one place?"

    "That's true." After the line Yu Xuan personally enlightened, Hu Tongchun also quickly turned the corner, patted Du Hui on the shoulder and said: "Old Du, the ugly words are ahead, wait for us to help you fight off Oboi's lackeys."  Afterwards, when it¡¯s time for your full-scale counterattack, remember to report to the prince and ask him to return Guilin City to us. At that time, brother, I will treat you to Guilin rice noodles. I will keep you eating and wanting to eat. Damn, I haven¡¯t had it for several years  , My own saliva almost came out."

    "It's easy to say, easy to say." Du Hui laughed and agreed, and couldn't wait to say to Line Yuxuan: "Third General Line, since you have already made plans to be transferred to the north, I will be transferred to the north by the prince sooner or later.  Then, how about we continue to join forces to kill thieves?"

    "Regarding this, please forgive me, General Du, because the last general has already agreed to fight the enemy side by side with him under the prince's command, so you can't promise General Du anymore?" Line Yuxuan replied with a smile.

    "Who? Who did General Line agree to?" Du Hui froze, thinking that that bastard struck so fast. Although the equipment of the line's army was poor, it was the most reliable in a war. Who the hell could strike so fast?  Got this elite team?

    "You know General Du." Yu Xuan suddenly twitched, and said with a pretty blushing face: "General Qu Jing of your Pingxi Palace, I heard that he also played very well in Guizhou this time.  The main force, he has made great contributions."

    "Lu Yifeng! When did you agree to him, Third General Line?" Du Hui asked in surprise.

    Line Yu Xuan stopped talking, and his beautiful face with two ecstasy mustaches suddenly became redder than a pig's liver, reddening to the base of his neck, and some watery eyes appeared in his big clear eyes.  passion.  Seeing Line Yuxuan's expression, Du Hui, who had suspected Line Yuxuan's sexual orientation for a long time, suddenly had goosebumps all over his body, and began to admire Fatty Lu in his heart, "Damn!  So many sacrifices! If I change my father, I will never do it!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 182

    ?

    (ps: sick, the number of words is still small, please forgive me.)

    The poor line family army gave their body and mind to Fatty Lu. In the end, when they were surrounded by the coalition forces of the three provinces provoked by Fatty Lu, they couldn't even count on Fatty Lu's reinforcements, so they could only honestly stick to the requirements of Pingxi Palace  In Nanning, a large number of people were summoned to strengthen the city defense, dig deep trenches to repair the city wall, gather the people outside the city and return to the city to avoid the flames of war.  The killing by the coalition forces of the three provinces caused immeasurable losses to the sustainable development of Nanning.

    Such an abnormal behavior of the Nanning defenders naturally inevitably attracted the attention of the three-provincial coalition forces, and it is also very strange the real intention of the Nanning defenders-the main force of the Qing army on the frontal battlefield has been destroyed, and the main force of the Wu army is about to counterattack.  Threats are actually the fear of the wind and cranes. If something goes wrong, they are ready to run for their lives at any time. They don't even want to fight for a long time in Nanning. Yu Xuan and Du Hui's army is full, and they are wasting their energy  And materials to strengthen the city defense?

    Under suspicion, Sun Yanling, Shang Zhixiao, and Geng Juzhong, three young men with great talents and talents, had to send people around to inquire about the news, and tried their best to capture several people in Nanning City for interrogation.  The news that the main force was seriously injured in the decisive battle in Guizhou and temporarily unable to reinforce the Nanning battlefield quickly reached the ears of Sun Yanling, monk Zhixiao and other youngsters.

    The old traitor Wu still has a little bit of vision in seeing people and employing people. Although he doesn't quite understand what kind of medicine Wu Shizong and Fatty Lu are selling in the gourd, Du Hui, the queen general of the Wu army who was entrusted by the old traitor Wu with the important task of guarding the east line to the sea,  However, Du Hui faithfully and skillfully carried out Wu Shizong's order. In addition to deliberately spreading the news that the main force of the Wu army could not reinforce Nanning for the time being, Du Hui made a small plan to let Han Zhang, the prefect of Nanning, who was forced to follow Wu Jun and Line Army to raise troops on the side of the Qing emperor, give him a hand.  Ma Xiongzhen, the nominal commander of the Allied Forces of the Three Provinces, sent a letter and cleverly leaked the news to Ma Xiongzhen directly.

    Han Zhang¡¯s letter to Ma Xiongzhen is roughly as follows: First, Han Zhang reported to Ma Xiongzhen the news that the Wu army had won the decisive battle in Guizhou; later, Han Zhang persuaded Ma Xiongzhen to withdraw his troops as the magistrate of Nanning, saying that it was true.  Although the main force of the Wu army was seriously injured in the decisive battle in Guizhou, they concentrated their forces to Huguang to pursue the remnants of Aobai's party. They were unable to reinforce Nanning for the time being, but within two months at the latest, the Pingxi Palace would definitely dispatch a large army to reinforce Nanning.  The people and the defenders unite as one, and there is absolutely no problem in defending Nanning City for two months.

    Finally, Han Zhang persuaded Ma Xiongzhen to retreat as soon as possible, saying that now the strategic goal of the Pingxi Palace on the side of the Qing Dynasty has been achieved, and no one can say whether the Qing court will fight with the Pingxi Palace in the future, so he hopes that Ma Xiongzhen will withdraw as soon as possible.  Don't completely forge a mortal feud with the West Prince's Mansion.  Otherwise, in the future, if the Qing court really backs down and makes peace with the Wu army, even if Ma Xiongzhen wins Nanning City for a while now, the Pingxi Palace will not spare Ma Xiongzhen in the future, will the Qing court?  Turning Ma Xiongzhen into an Aobai remnant party and handing it over to the Pingxi Palace to appease Wu Sangui's anger is also something that no one can say for certain. It's better to retreat temporarily and not to offend the Pingxi Palace to death. Be a human being and stay a line so that we can meet each other in the future  .

    Not to mention, when the future is unpredictable, Ma Xiongzhen was really moved by Han Zhang's earnest persuasion letter. Considering that the Qing court may indeed negotiate a truce with the Pingxi Palace, he is afraid that he will become a negotiator on the negotiating table of the Pingxi Palace.  Ma Xiongzhen, who was attacking the target, was very moved, and hurriedly invited Sun Yanling, Shang Zhixiao, and Geng Juzhong to discuss with them whether they should retreat.  It's just that Ma Xiongzhen never dreamed that the three chief generals of the three-provincial coalition he had worked so hard to contact and form after seeing this letter, not only did not consider his embarrassing position and agreed to withdraw, but they immediately shouted excitedly  .

    "Let me just say, it really is the case. That old bastard Wu Sangui wins more with less, even if he wins a big victory by chance, his loss will definitely not be that small!" Shang Zhixiao excitedly shouted: "Within two months  We can¡¯t reinforce Nanning, time is enough for us, not to mention taking Nanning, it¡¯s more than enough time to withdraw to Guangzhou! Go ahead and take Nanning to Lao Tzu as soon as possible!¡±

    "That's right!" Geng Juzhong also jumped three feet high, shouting: "I heard that Nanning City has hoarded millions of taels of silver mined from the Phoenix Mountain Silver Mine, and the old thief Wu Sangui used it to recruit fishermen for training.  The navy¡¯s gold, silver and jewels are all hidden in Nanning City, and if we capture Nanning, we will make a fortune! It¡¯s not a waste of hard work!¡±

    "You two second princes, are you thinking too simply?" Ma Xiongzhen was sweating profusely, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Let's not say that Nanning City is definitely not as easy to fight as we imagined.  Didn¡¯t the gold, silver and jewels hoarded in the city offend the old thief Wu Sangui to death??? Military flag!  (Note: According to historical records, after Wu Sangui raised his troops during the San Francisco Rebellion, he used the white flag with black letters as the military flag, and the army also wore white clothes and white armor.)

    As if to verify that the police scouts were not lying, almost at the same time, dust billowed on the official road in the east of Nanning, and an extremely large number of white troops appeared in the dust and smoke.  The military flag of Wu Sangui's army was rapidly sweeping towards the back of the Allied Forces of the Three Provinces.  After seeing this scene in the binoculars, Sun Yanling, monk Zhixiao and the others inevitably turned pale with shock. They didn't even think about what happened, and why the reinforcements from the Wu army, which would only appear in two months, arrived so quickly.  .

    Also exclaiming was the line Yuxuan army on the city wall of Nanning, condescending to see the Wu army brigade rushing forward, encircling the coalition forces of the three provinces with their own army, and Guangxi generals such as Line Yuxuan, Quan Jie, Hu Tongchun and Li Fengchun all lost their voices.  Exclaimed, extremely surprised, "How is it possible? How is it possible? How could our reinforcements arrive so quickly? It took two months to arrive. Why did they arrive this morning?"

    "Wrong, our reinforcements didn't arrive this morning." Du Hui stood up to correct the mistakes of Yu Xuan and the others, and said with a smile: "Actually, our reinforcements arrived twenty miles away at the second watch last night.  , but they were too tired from the hasty march, and found that Ao Bai's lackeys were attacking Nanning City at night, so they rested in place for most of the night, and did not come out until the allied forces of Ao Bai's lackeys were tired from fighting."

    "General Du, how do you know?" Line Yuxuan asked in surprise.

    "After they arrived last night, they sent someone to contact me." Du Hui replied with a sly smile, "Tell us to stand firm for another night, so that Aobai's lackeys can consume more energy, and then come out to meet us."

    "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Line Yu Xuan was furious, and shouted with brows: "General Du, this is the attitude of your Pingxi Palace towards your allies? The reinforcements have clearly arrived, and you deliberately didn't notify us? And  , You said that the reinforcements arrived in two months, which caused us to abandon countless villages outside the city, wasting countless manpower and material resources to consolidate the city defenses, and it took only five or six days for the reinforcements to arrive, what do you mean?"

    "That's right, what do you mean?" Hu Tongchun also asked angrily, "If you had said earlier that the reinforcements would arrive soon, we would have spent so much effort gathering people from all over the place and repairing the city wall with all our strength, wasting manpower and material resources in vain?"

    The other Guangxi generals were also angry, and they were all very dissatisfied with Du Hui's deliberate concealment. Du Hui also knew that what they did was not authentic, so he quickly explained with a wry smile: "Three generals, I really can't blame me for this, it's Lu Yifeng.  His idea is all his plan. He asked us to order me to do this, General Wu Shizong, the right general of our Pingxi Palace.  Please go to Lu Yifeng to settle the score, it's all his bad idea!"

    "Lu Yifeng? How dare this fat man play tricks on us?" Hu Tongchun, Quan Jie and other Guangxi generals clenched their fists together.  But at this moment, a clear and delicate voice that looked like a woman sounded, "Understood! It turns out that fat man was playing tricks, while spreading rumors that the reinforcements would not arrive until two months later, while reinforcing the troops."  Marching quickly to the back of the Allied Army of Obai's lackeys, he really killed the gang of Obai's lackeys and was caught off guard!"

    "Fatty man, you're cunning, even I was deceived by you! See you later, and see how I deal with you!"

    Hearing Line Yuxuan's coquettish and reproachful voice, and seeing the excitement on Line Yuxuan's face, which is prettier than a woman's, and the look of longing and shyness, Du Hui, Hu Tongchun and others came up with an idea  , crashed his head against the city wall of Nanning!

 Chapter 183 Convincing Lu Sanhao with Virtue

    ?

    "Wu Gou fell from the sky? Flying from the sky? Didn't it say that it will arrive in two months? Why is it showing up now?"

    Amidst the inexplicable screams of panic, more than 12,000 soldiers of the Wu army in white clothes and white armor rushed to the front of the coalition of three provinces like a white torrent, and quickly lined up.  The chariots were lined up, and the oily arrows coated with tung oil to prevent moisture and water were aimed at the Allied Forces of the Three Provinces.  The proficiency and standard of movement, the quickness and accuracy of the speed, and the orderly unity of the team not only made the three provincial coalition forces led by Sun Yanling, Shang Zhixiao, and Geng Juzhong feel ashamed to death, but also made the three second-five boys even more frightened¡ªsuddenly killed  The Wu army that came is definitely not a temporary recruit, but a real front-line elite.

    "The Wu dog from behind has also come out!" A new scream sounded, and the east gate of Nanning suddenly opened wide, and Yu Xuan's army and Du Hui's army joined hands to fight out of the city, encircling the coalition forces of the three provinces with the reinforcements.  Seeing this scene, Sun Yanling and other youngsters panicked and shouted, "Quick, get ready, get ready!" "Retreat to the south!" "Retreat to the north!"

    The messy orders contradicted each other, and the coalition forces of the three provinces were already in chaos before they joined the battle. Fortunately, Shang Zhixiao, who had replaced Shang Zhixin in the military power in Guangdong for a period of time, had some experience, and calmly shouted: "  Don¡¯t make a mess! Don¡¯t make a mess! Everyone stay put, don¡¯t make a mess! Sun Junmen, Brother Ju Zhong, you all hurry up and organize the army, gather together, don¡¯t make a mess!¡±

    To everyone's surprise, when the coalition forces of the three provinces rushed to meet the enemy and the troops were in chaos, Wu Shizong's army and Lu Fatzi's army who reinforced Nanning not only did not take the opportunity to attack, but sent someone to send orders to Yu Xuan and Du Hui's allies, ordering them to attack.  Also keep calm, do not attack without orders, and wait for the Allied Forces of the Three Provinces to reorganize the team and restrain the soldiers to consolidate the formation.  But the more this happened, Sun Yanling, Monk Zhixiao and other youngsters were astonished, and inevitably panicked¡ªwhat kind of enemy is the scariest, the enemy who is as calm as a piece of ice is the scariest!  If such an enemy doesn't move, it will be fine, and if it moves, it will be thunderous, leaving no chance for the enemy!

    Thanks to the fact that the Wu army did not launch an attack immediately, the coalition forces of the three provinces finally managed to calm down from the panic of rushing to meet the enemy, and formed a defensive circular formation, ready to deal with attacks from both sides at the same time.  It was also at this time that Sun Yanling, Monk Zhixiao, and other youngsters were pleasantly surprised to find that the Wu army that suddenly killed them was also small in number, only about 12,000 people.  Not to mention the three-provincial coalition with 30,000 troops. After discovering this, Sun Yanling, monk Zhixiao and others were inevitably refreshed, and at least they had the confidence to escape unscathed.

    "Sun Junmen, the number of Wugou reinforcements is not large, and this battle still has to be fought." Shang Zhixiao shouted excitedly: "Why don't you, Sun Junmen, rush to the Wugou reinforcements and look at this Wugou army?"  What is the strength of the reinforcements?"

    "Why do you want me to go?" Sun Yanling asked angrily, "You won't go by yourself?"

    "Sun Junmen, Brother Zhixiao's Guangdong army and my Fujian army were the main forces attacking last night. They are very tired now. Your Guangxi army charged the least number of times last night. Who will you not go now?" Geng Juzhong was dissatisfied.  Said: "Besides, didn't you just say, Sun Junmen, that Wugou's army was seriously injured in the decisive battle in Guizhou. Don't worry even if they fly over from the sky. You are still not afraid of them. Now is just right, look at your army.  gone."

    The crow's mouth was effective, and Sun Yanling almost wanted to slap himself, but Sun Yanling had nothing to do with the words, and at the same time, Sun Yanling, who had always been arrogant, really didn't believe in Wu Jun's combat power, and didn't think  The army he brought was far worse than Wu Jun.  So after gritting his teeth, Sun Yanling mustered up his courage and shouted: "Okay, just charge, I don't believe it, Wu Dog's army can really have three heads and six arms? Be careful and press the formation, I will go to Wugou's big formation."

    Amidst the encouraging and flattering voices of Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong, Sun Yanling bit the bullet and stepped forward, commanding the Guangxi army to line up and charge, and personally cheered up in front of the battle: "Brothers, charge me! Wugou doesn't have many troops, let's  There are so many people, can you still be afraid of them? Come to me, kill one Wugou soldier, and reward three taels of silver! Kill two Wugou soldiers, and you will be promoted to a rank! Kill! Kill all the Wugou reinforcements, Nanning  All the gold, silver and beautiful women in the city are yours! Kill¡ª¡ª!"

    Sun Yanling's encouragement still played a certain role. Relying on the large number of people, the more than 10,000 Guangxi troops directly under Sun Yanling came out, formed a battle formation, and charged forward to Wu Shizong's army and Fatty's army with shouts.  But at this time, hundreds of rocket vehicles in front of Wu Jun's formation suddenly ignited together, and more than a hundred rockets whizzed out dragging gunpowder smoke, overwhelming the sky.??, with the generosity of Prince Pingxi, how can he treat you badly?  "

    Sun Yanling's face became even more ashen, and he stopped talking.  Fatty Lu threatened again, "Of course, you can insist on refusing Sun Junmen, but as far as I know, the army that Sun Junmen took over from Dai Liangchen seems to have never been too grandson."  For you, Junmen, now our Pingxi Palace army has encircled you. In order to survive, will they protect Sun Junmen with all their strength and break out of the encirclement? Can you guarantee Sun Junmen?  It doesn't taste good, the order doesn't leave the house, and the name doesn't spread to the three armies, even if you want to clean up a few Dai Liangchen and leave the old man behind, you still have to risk stirring up a mutiny."

    "Sun Junmen, I think, instead of being so useless, you might as well surrender to our Pingxi Palace, and let our Pingxi Palace help you deal with those disobedient bastards, help you cultivate cronies, and help you truly control the Guangxi army.  .In this way, not only can you be majestic, but you can also take a step forward under the protection of our Pingxi Palace's wings. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be an extremely human minister?"

    On the one hand, it is impossible for the army under his command to fight to the death to protect him from escaping, and on the other hand, the Pingxi Palace helped him integrate the army, gain real control over the army, and even take a step forward under the protection of the Pingxi Palace.  However, considering that it was not the first time Fatty Lu had cheated himself, and he was worried about the consequences of helping the Pingxi Palace, Sun Yanling dared not believe anything he said.  But at that moment, the followers brought by Sun Yanling and others suddenly screamed, "General Sun, the two second princes, something happened later!"

    Sun Yanling and others turned their heads in shock, only to see that some people from our team in the rear kept running away to the Nanning army and knelt down and surrendered. In addition, many Nanning cavalry were running and shouting to recruit their soldiers.  But when he saw clearly that the people who surrendered were all his own Guangxi soldiers and generals, Sun Yanling was furious, turned his head and shouted: "Shameless villain! I said that I didn't do anything during the negotiation. Why do you say nothing?"

    "We didn't do anything?" Fatty Lu said with a smirk: "We just sent an order to ask the old general Line Guoan Line to come forward to surrender. Every Guangxi soldier who surrendered has three taels of silver to take, and he cashed it on the spot, but we didn't send troops to attack you."

    After that, Fatty Lu added with a smile: "Sun Junmen, it seems that your control over the army is not only strong, even an old general who is so sick that he can hardly get out of bed came forward to surrender.  There are so many people in your direct army who will surrender immediately, when our Pingxi Palace army really launches a general attack, how many people will listen to you, Sun Junmen, and you, Sun Junmen, probably don¡¯t know it yourself?"

 Chapter 184 Innocent

    ?

    "Fatty dog! I will kill you!"

    Hearing the sarcasm in Fatty Lu's words, seeing the shameless smile on Fatty Lu's face and the sight of soldiers from the Guangxi army defecting to the Wu army, Sun Yanling, who had been tricked by Fatty Lu more than once, finally couldn't take it anymore and roared  He jumped up with a sound, and drew his knife to chop off Fatty Lu's fat face full of obscene smiles.

    It was too late, it was so fast, almost at the same time that Sun Yanling jumped up, the two unremarkable soldiers behind Fatty Lu, one with cross-eyed and one with black fat, all moved their bodies, before Sun Yanling could see clearly what was going on  In fact, the cross-eyed waist knife was already on Sun Yanling's neck, and the little black fat man grabbed Sun Yanling's right hand holding the knife.  The black fat man squeezed and creaked, the pain made Sun Yanling almost shed tears, and screamed like a slaughtered pig regardless of his face, "Mother! My bones are about to break, take it easy!"

    When the incident happened suddenly, Shang Zhixiao, Geng Juzhong and Ma Xiongzhen who were beside them were also startled, and subconsciously jumped up together and touched their waist knives.  They were all scrambling to draw their swords and raise their guns, and the friendly atmosphere just now disappeared, and it became tense.

    "Hehe, everyone, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, put down the knives." Faced with such a tense and sensitive atmosphere, Fatty Lu still smiled at Maitreya, and waved to calm down the crowd with a smile, and then ordered: "Shiyu  , Xiguan, you all let go of Sun Junmen, Sun Junmen was a little impulsive when he was angry, this is human nature and can be forgiven, don't be too rude to him."

    Hearing Fatty Lu's order, Hong Xiguan and Fang Shiyu finally let go of Sun Yanling, but Sun Yanling's waist knife was still snatched away by Hong Xiguan with a single move.  They were all taken aback, and only then did they understand why Fatty Lu dared to be so arrogant, and why he dared to start negotiations in the middle of the battlefield - just with this cross-eyed and this little black fat man's skills, a dozen or twenty people were no match for them at all  ah.

    "Brother-in-law, I can't see that there are so many talents around you. The skills of these two personal soldiers, put them in the army, it should be absolutely no problem to be two assistant leaders?" Shang Zhixiao couldn't help but said enviously.

    "Second Uncle, we have to thank our Eldest Brother." Fatty Lu smiled affectionately, "Didn't Second Uncle find out? They are actually from Cantonese, and they were all sent by Eldest Uncle to protect me."  of."

    "Are you all Cantonese?" Shang Zhixiao was shocked.

    Hong Xiguan nodded and replied: "Second Prince, the villain is from Hua County, Guangzhou Prefecture." Fang Shiyu also replied: "I am from Zhaoqing Prefecture."  , and Sun Yanling glared at Shang Zhixiao, saying yes, after a long time you Pingnan Palace and the big traitor Lu Yifeng still have this friendship, no wonder they are so unreliable on the battlefield.  Ma Xiongzhen also glanced at Shang Zhixiao suspiciously, and his suspicions arose in his heart.

    "Okay, okay, let's all sit down, let's all sit down again." Fatty Lu greeted him and took the lead to sit down again, and then smiled at Sun Yanling: "Sun Junmen, don't be angry, we didn't deliberately poach you  The reason why you poach your army is because we all know that there are many old men like Dai Liangchen and Wang Yongnian among your soldiers.  They are highly respected, and they will be recruited and reintegrated for you, and they will be returned to you in the future."

    "Give it back to me? Are you so kind?" Sun Yanling asked with a livid face while rubbing Fang Shiyu's wrist, which had been pinched into livid purple.

    Fatty Lu also knew that he was unreliable in Sun Yanling's mind, so he didn't say anything, he just gave Wu Shizong a look, Wu Shizong understood, and said seriously: "Don't worry, Sun Junmen, our Pingxi Palace is eager to seek talents and values ??integrity, as long as you agree  Submit to our Pingxi Palace, and help our lord to wipe out the Aobai remnant party in Guangxi, and the Guilin army we recruited in the past will naturally be returned to your command."

    "Not only that." Fatty Lu added: "We will also help you reorganize the army, clean up the remnants of Dai Liangchen and Wang Yongnian in the army, so that you can truly command this army, instead of letting you be the same as before.  The commander-in-chief of the entire army has to look at the faces and moods of his soldiers."

    Sun Yanling hesitated again. Fatty Lu smiled, deliberately leaving some time for him to think, then turned to Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong and asked, "Second Uncle, Second Prince, what do you two say? Are you interested in helping our Pingxi Palace to wipe out the  Aobai remnants in Guangxi?"

    Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong looked at each other, and after exchanging a few glances, Shang Zhixiao stepped forward and said: "Brother-in-law, don't force your second brother-in-law and second prince Geng, we are both??If it wasn't for Zhu Wannian and Sun Yuanhua, would there be the current Prince Juelu?  Sun Junmen, if your father-in-law hadn't raised his sword against Zhu Wannian back then, would he have been crowned prince in Guangxi?  "

    "I'll count to three, let's do it together." Sun Yanling made up his mind and shouted: "One, two, three, kill!"

    Amidst the roar, Sun Yanling, Shang Zhixiao, and Geng Juzhong raised their knives and fell together. As blood spattered, Ma Xiongzhen fell down on the battlefield screaming and died on the spot.  Fatty Lu and Wu Shizong bowed and clasped their hands together, and said very affectionately: "The three generals joined forces to kill Ma Xiongzhen, the remnant party of Obai, and their meritorious service is unrivaled. I will report it to Prince Pingxi and ask for a reward for the three generals."

    Under the bewilderment of Fatty Lu and Wu Shizong, the three 25-year-olds jointly chopped down the governor Ma Xiongzhen. Naturally, there was no way to turn back. After throwing their knives and surrendering on their knees, they quickly ordered the coalition forces of the three provinces to lay down their weapons and fight together.  Wu Jun surrendered and accepted Wu Jun's reorganization command.  Wu Shizong and Fatty Lu hurriedly helped up the three second- and fifth-year-olds to comfort them softly, and sent orders to reward the three armies, including the three-provincial coalition forces who had just surrendered.

    Amid thunderous cheers, a group of Nanning cavalry rushed up to Fatty Lu, the leader got off his horse, strode up to Fatty Lu, stared at Fatty Lu with beautiful eyes, and remained silent for a long time.  Fatty Lu, on the other hand, was a little shy, smiled with a blushing face, and asked, "Third General Line, how are you doing?"

    Yu Xuan didn't answer the line, but continued to stare at Fatty Lu, tears flickered in his big spring eyes.

    "Hey, what are they doing?" Geng Juzhong asked Shang Zhixiao in a low voice: "Brother Zhixiao, you brother-in-law and my brother-in-law, do you even want a man?"

    "I don't know, haven't you heard of it?" Shang Zhixiao replied in confusion.

    "Then why are they doing this?" Geng Juzhong asked in surprise.

    "Yifeng, General Line three, what's the matter with you? Why don't you speak?" Wu Shizong asked in surprise.

    Next, the actions of Lan Yuxuan and Fatty Lu almost caused the jaws of Wu Shizong, Shang Zhixiao, Geng Juzhong and others to drop to the ground¡ªRan Yuxuan opened his arms and threw himself into Fatty Lu's arms, hugging Fatty Lu  The fat on his chest burst into tears.  Fatty Lu also hugged Yu Xuan tightly and patted Yu Xuan's thin back lightly, with tears flickering in his small eyes.  At the end, Fatty Lu even picked up Yu Xuan's face, which was prettier than a woman's, and kissed it hard.

    "Great!" New cheers came, and Sun Yanling yelled, jumping up and down: "Brother Yifeng, I finally believe that there is nothing between you and, nothing! There is nothing like that!  Nothing!"

 Chapter 185 Xiao Mazi's Response

    ?

    The magnificent Forbidden City is the pride of the Chinese nation.  However, now it has become an enemy, occupied by barbarian chiefs, entrenched by savage beasts, parasitized by blood-eating moths, ugly and hideous mites run rampant in it, disgusting and distorted mites live in front of the Han Dynasty, and castrated slaves prostrate and kowtow  , Tatar heterogeneous mating and breeding, sowing eggs to harm China, leaving hundreds of poisons to perpetuate the world.  There is no sun in the day, no moon in the night, ghosts and ghosts are in power, and the wind is raging.

    On the fourteenth day of July in the eleventh year of Kang Mazi, the gate of ghosts opened. On the morning of this day, a huge bloody storm suddenly broke out in the Forbidden City.  Erdu was lured into Qianqing Palace under the pretext of celebrating Oboi's great victory in Guizhou, and was hacked to death by Xiao Mazi's confidants who were ambushing in the hall.  He rebelled and fell into the arms of Xiao Mazi's cronies Kabula, Suo'etu, Mingzhu, Xiong Cilu, Huang Xigun, Wang Hongzuo and others, and assisted the imperial party to wipe out the remaining army loyal to Obai in one fell swoop.  It changed hands in an instant!

    Immediately afterwards, a more violent wave of blood and rain hit. In just half a day, nearly a hundred civilian and military officials attached to the party were either arrested or killed.  A Siha, Ge Chuha, Namo and Jishi and other Ao party backbones were arrested all over the family, and they were all put in prison for the crimes of party attachment to Oboi, deceiving the emperor and disrupting government.  Hundreds of people were killed in the large-scale operation. Qi Tuo, the leader of the Fengtai camp outside Beijing who was loyal to Oboi, was hacked to death by his subordinates without knowing it.  Fengtai Daying also fell into the hands of the imperial party.

    To the surprise of the vast majority of people, Ye Bilong, the last of the four assistant ministers of the Qing Dynasty, who is usually silent and silent, only knows that Oboi is the leader and the last of the four assistant ministers of the Qing Dynasty. Since he unexpectedly did not appear on the arrest list,  It wasn't until Xiao Mazi announced that Ye Bilong's fourth son, the imperial bodyguard Yin De, had the merit of slaying Naer, everyone suddenly realized that Ye Bilong had already betrayed Obai and secretly fell into the embrace of the imperial party.  It is also because of this that after the sudden collapse of the Ao Party, there was no huge turmoil in the capital government. Veteran ministers headed by Ye Bilong stepped forward to stabilize the situation in the capital for Xiao Mazi, and also laid the foundation for Xiao Mazi's real governance.  established a solid foundation.

    The action of eradicating the Ao Party in just one day seems easy and smooth, but who can know how much effort Xiaomazi's party has put in for this day, and how much time has been prepared to achieve this effect?  And who can know how much Xiao Mazi's party has secretly sacrificed for this day, how much painstaking effort they have put in, so that they can get rid of Oboi's party members in one fell swoop without any confusion in the haste?  During this period, how many ups and downs, how many turbulent waves, I am afraid that Xiao Mazi, the person involved, can't remember so much, right?

    In the early morning of July 15th, the overall situation was settled. More than 20 Ao party backbones were not even eligible to be interrogated, so they were directly pushed out of the Meridian Gate by Xiao Mazi and beheaded.  Long live, Xiao Mazi has finally achieved his first goal in life - to truly control the government of the Qing Dynasty and become the real master of the brutal ruling machine of the Qing Dynasty!  Xiao Mazi, who had just turned eighteen, had also become the biggest slave owner of the Eight Banners at this moment. The lives, honors and disgraces of thousands of souls had already been determined by his single thought.

    The long-cherished dream of eradicating the Ao Dang has finally come true, but Xiao Mazi doesn't even have time to be complacent, because it is the latest battle report of Mite Qing from the southwest that makes Xiao Mazi make up his mind to suddenly attack the Ao Dang.  ¡ª¡ªThe 220,000 anti-insurgency army was almost completely wiped out in Guizhou, and only less than 30,000 Mite Qing remnants fled back to Huguang, almost none of the Mite Qing elite!  Obai died in battle!  **** Jie Shu was captured!  Shuncheng County King Le Erjin was captured!  The rest of the Baylor boys who were captured and killed are too numerous to count!

    The bad news came one after another. The Yunnan-Guizhou army counterattacked across the board. The main force entered Huguang.  Cai Yurong, governor of the three provinces of Huguang and Sichuan, who was heading to the front line, heard that the main force of the Qing army was destroyed on the way, and even led the army back to Wuchang overnight. Huguang was shocked, and countless local officials deserted their posts!  No city or rider dared to stop where the Yunnan-Guizhou army's blade was pointing.

    On July 19th, new bad news came. The 10,000 troops from Wang Pingfan's troops of Wu army entered Sichuan, and the 20,000 troops from Labu's troops of Prince Jian who was stationed in Chongqing did not dare to go out to fight. The general soldiers of Sichuan, Wu Zhimao and Tan Hong, were ordered to reinforce  During the period in Chongqing, he even defected to the Wu army, under the banner of the Qing emperor's killing of Aobai's remnant party, and joined hands with Wang Pingfan to attack Chongqing.  In Sichuan, there is no longer any army that can stop the Wu army's blade, and the fall of the whole of Sichuan is almost a foregone conclusion!

    One after another urgent memorials were sent to the capital,With a movement in his chest, he quickly said angrily: "Is it possible? I have already undressed that bastard Lu Yifeng, and he still has the face to live up to my expectations of him, which is enough to prove that  This dog thief is naturally rebellious, and he is determined to fight against me, how can I win him over?"

    "Your Majesty, there is nothing you can't buy in the world, only those who can't afford it." Xiaozhuang also said suddenly, and said slowly: "Besides, Your Majesty, you really undressed Lu Yifeng and pushed him to eat.  Have you eaten it? If Aijia remembers correctly, it seems that the emperor has never really paid attention to Lu Yifeng, a courtier?" (To be continued.

 Chapter 186 The Wise Emperor Kangxi

    ?

    "Have I really undressed Lu Yifeng's dog thief and pushed food and food? Have I never really paid attention to this dog thief?"

    Comparing things with goods, you have to throw them away, and people have to die when you compare them to others. Under the blow of the old hag in Xiaozhuang, carefully recalling what he did to Fatty Lu, Xiao Mazi suddenly realized that he seemed to be doing something wrong to Fatty Lu.  So authentic.

    First of all, Xiao Mazi felt that he did not pay attention to Fatty Lu. The time when Kang Mazi went to Beijing to meet with Fatty Lu as usual at the end of the sixth year, that was the most likely opportunity to completely win Fatty Lu's allegiance.  I have seen all kinds of talents of Fatty Lu with my own eyes, but it is a pity that Xiao Mazi never confides in Fatty Lu, and he never insists on keeping Fatty Lu by his side.  meticulous work.

    Originally, in Xiao Mazi's opinion, being able to be treated as a jester by him was already the greatest honor of this slave in his life, but now that Xiao Mazi thought about it, he suddenly found that he treated a pedant with the courtesy of a jester.  A genius of heaven and man, sending a pillar of the country with both civil and military skills to do some stealthy things like stealing chickens and dogs, who can bear it with pride?

    Later, Xiao Mazi found that he was sorry for Fatty Lu even more. When Tu Hai, Kong Sizhen, Li Shizu, Jie Shu and others were pressing and making things difficult for Fatty Lu, not only did he not stop him,  Giving Fatty Lu enough support and trust, on the contrary, he deliberately condoned and covered Fatty Lu. He almost killed Fatty Lu several times, and even forced Fatty Lu to resign from office because of suspicion, and almost lost his life in Guangxi!  No matter how much loyalty Fatty Lu had to himself, he would have been wiped out by all kinds of suspicion and persecution that were so out of character.

    On the contrary, Wu Sangui's treatment of Fatty Lu was extremely clever and sincere. After Fatty Lu kidnapped Shang Kexi's young daughter as his wife, not only did Wu Sangui not be forced by Shang Kexi to punish Fatty Lu severely,  Instead, she personally acted as a matchmaker and married Fatty Lu and the princess of Pingnan Palace.  Snatching away the seeds of Eight Banners Fushou Gao, but giving Fatty Lu the privilege of planting Eight Banners Fushou Gao among the people in Qujing, so that Fatty Lu won the absolute support of the people of Qujing.

    In addition, the more critical point is that, according to intelligence, Wu Sangui dared to give away more than half of the financial revenue of the entire Pingxi Palace to squander on Fatty Lu, allowing Fatty Lu to develop and produce new firearms at will.  Absolute superiority, overwhelming superiority of firearms and weapons, in the face of such boldness that no doubter will use and no doubter will use, can Fatty Lu not give up his heart to Wu Sangui?  Can you not go through fire and water for the old thief Wu Sangui?

    Thinking of this, Xiao Mazi shook his head, and after pursing his lips for a long time, Xiao Mazi said hoarsely: "Then try again, find a way to get in touch with Lu Yifeng, and tell him that as long as he is willing to rein in the precipice, abandon the dark and turn to the bright, I will help you."  All his previous sins can be pardoned, and he can also be named Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and given to walk in the study! If he wants any other conditions, he can discuss it!"

    "Thank you, Your Majesty." Kong Sizhen kowtowed, and then asked cautiously: "But my Majesty, who will take care of this matter?"

    "You are in charge of the Thirteen Yamen, so you can handle it." Xiao Mazi replied casually.

    "Your Majesty, it's not that the slave is unwilling to serve." Kong Sizhen showed embarrassment, and said embarrassingly: "It's just that the slave has a lot of misunderstandings with Lu Yifeng. If I leave it to the slave, I'm afraid it will get twice the result with half the effort."

    "Your Majesty, this servant thinks that this matter can be handed over to Lord Wang Xu." Mingzhu stood up and saluted and said, "Lord Wang and Lu Yifeng have a very close friendship, and they are currently in charge of the Ministry of War, so it should be most appropriate for him to handle it."  .¡±

    "Well, let Wang Aiqing do it." Xiao Mazi said in a deep voice, "But Wang Aiqing is not very good at these things. Kong Aiqing will help you a lot. You can discuss with Wang Aiqing about how to do it."

    "The servant obeys the order." Kong Sizhen kowtowed in agreement, and retreated with a little joy in her heart, while Xiong Cilu next to her gave her a jealous look and groaned in her heart.  Unexpectedly, Dai Zi also stood up over there, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, I also want to see that Lu Yifeng with my own eyes, please let me participate in this matter, I also want to take this opportunity to ask that Lu Yifeng  Learn more about the manufacture of firearms."

    "You? Forget it." Xiao Mazi quickly shook his head and said, "Dai Aiqing, you have never seen how naughty Lu Yifeng's servant is. Don't ask him for advice and learn nothing. Instead, he gave me the firearm secrets from my side.  It's clean. You'd better get firearms for me in the capital, don't get meddled in this matter."

    "I obey." Dai Zi was disappointed, but said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, please lend me this picture of the flying boat of Wu Sangui's bandit army. I want to copy a copy and send it to you.The jailer on duty at night and other officials of the Tiangao were sent to prison for torture. Han Shangshu Liang Qingbiao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, was also arrested and interrogated.  Afterwards, Emperor Kang Mazi showed great mercy and broadcast nectar, allowing his aunt Princess Jianning to take Wu Shilin home to take care of him.  And it was decreed to allow Wu Yingxiong's coffin to be transported back to Yunnan for a thick burial.

    Xiao Mazi was so kind to Wu Yingxiong's death, it was inevitable that he would look sideways in surprise, and let the lord and officials of the court see a glimmer of hope for peace.  Zhou Peigong, who reported the battle ahead in the capital, was an exception.  After hearing the news, not only was Zhou Peigong not surprised at all, but he let out a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "As expected, the emperor is indeed wise and powerful, and he is indeed worthy of my assistance."

 Chapter 187 Taking advantage of the fire to rob the wicked husband

    ?

    Several flowers bloomed, one for each branch. When Kang Xiaomazi and his confidant lackeys were still fighting in the capital, trying to find ways to pin all the crimes on Oboi alone, and when the main force of the Wu army was invincible on the land of Hunan,  When it was unstoppable to break through the city and pull out the stronghold all the way, on the land of Lingnan, Wu Jun's East Route Army led by Wu Shizhong and Lu Fatty also unexpectedly approached the city of Guilin and surrounded Guilin, the most important Guangxi city and the last Guangxi town occupied by the Qing army.  .

    ? In fact, compared with the North Army of the Wu Army led by Wang Pingfan, the prospect of the East Army of the Wu Army, which has more than 2,000 more troops, was not favored by the decision-makers of the Wu Army beforehand.  There is no other reason, because when Wang Pingfan attacked Sichuan, not only the 20,000-strong Labu army of the Qing army who had been terrified was the enemy, but also the two armies of Wu Zhimao and Tan Hongjun who resolutely supported Wu Sangui's army.  A fatal blow was delivered to the Labu army from within, and Sichuan governor Luo Sen and Sichuan admiral Zheng Jiaolin had long been flirting with Wu Sangui in secret. In the past, when the Qing army was powerful, they did not dare to offend Wu Sangui. Now the main force of the Qing army has been destroyed.  They are naturally even less likely to seek their own death.

    In addition, another major advantage of the North Route Army is that the surrounding military situation in Sichuan is also very beneficial to the Wu army. The Huguang Qing army in the east is trembling under the power of the main force of the Wu army, and it is impossible to provide reinforcements for the Labu army.  .  As for the Shaanxi-Gansu army of the Qing army in the north of Sichuan, not only is it far away, but the admiral of Shaanxi in the northwest is still secretly loyal to Wu Sangui's veteran Wu army Wang Fuchen. Even if Zhang Yong of Gansu and Querkun of Shanxi want to reinforce the Sichuan battlefield  We have to pass Wang Fuchen's test first.  The right time, place and people are all in the hands of Wu Jun, so although the strength of the North Route Army is not as good as that of the East Route Army, it can basically be said to be sure of victory.

    In contrast, the military situation in Guangxi is much more complicated. The combat effectiveness of the Guangxi army is not only stronger than that of Sichuan, but also far more powerful than the withered Sichuan army.  Together with Du Huijun, they are shouldering the important task of defending the transportation line of Wu Jun's seaport and the hinterland of Yunnan and Guizhou. It is difficult to provide strong support for Wu Jun's East Route Army led by Wang Pingfan and Lu Fatty.  Although Ma Xiong, the admiral of Guangxi, had a good relationship with Wu Jun, he was definitely not as caring towards Wu Jun as Wu Zhimao and Tan Hong. It would be very difficult to expect him to restrain the enemy, and to openly raise troops to help Wu Jun.

    It doesn't matter if the allies are not strong enough, the key is that the enemy is too difficult to deal with. Needless to say, the hard-core traitor Ma Xiongzhen, the governor of Guangxi, Sun Yanling and monk Zhixiao, these two little boys have never had the slightest friendship with Pingxi Palace, and they are arrogant and arrogant.  The selfish and narrow-minded Sun Yanling also had quarrels with many important generals of the Pingxi Palace because of some trivial matters, and would never show Wu Jun any sympathy on the battlefield.  As for the other enemy, Geng Juzhong, in order to fight for the throne with his elder brother Geng Jingzhong, this second-five son had already secretly joined the Qing court.  Wu Jun showed mercy.

    In addition, the worse situation facing the East Route Army was the surrounding military situation in Guangxi. In the north of Guangxi, the strength of the Qing army in the south of Yuanyuan was still partially preserved, and it was facing the main force of the Wu army.  , Turning the Qing Army's three-province coalition in Guangxi into a four-province coalition.  In the east of Guangxi, Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, not only holds a heavy army and is powerful, but also has a natural conflict with Wu Sangui, an old traitor.  He actually dedicated the envoy of the Wu Army to Xiao Mazi Ling Chi and executed him, firmly expressing his determination to overthrow Wu. Afterwards, the coalition forces of the three provinces attacked the Wu Army's east line and sent the most troops. There is such a perverted hungry wolf sleeping soundly on the side of the couch.  Can you still have a good time?

    Because of this, in view of these objective circumstances, the decision-makers of the Wu army, including the old traitor Wu, were not very optimistic about the prospects of the Eastern Front. Sending Wu Shizong and Lu Fatty to lead the army into Guangxi was not so much a retaliatory counterattack as a matter of strengthening  Taking a look at the thickness and solidity of the defense on the eastern front, the attitude towards the Allied Forces of the Three Provinces is just to fight and run away, and it is not expected that the Eastern Route Army can swallow the entire Guangxi at once like the Northern Route Army.  So when the troops were divided in Guiyang, the old traitor Wu only gave Wu Shizong and Fatty Lu two simple tasks to ensure the safety of the eastern front and drive away the coalition forces of the three provinces.

    Miracles are unexpected. No one expected that the Wu Jun East Route Army, which is not favored by everyone, was led by the unscrupulous pair of Wu Shizhong, who is brave and good at fighting, and Fatty Lu, a treacherous and wise man, and created a series of battles.  It is a miracle that makes both the enemy and us dumbfounded!  First of all, on the issue of the Allied Forces of the Three Provinces, Fatty Lu whimsically proposed a surprise tactic. With the firm support of Wu Shizong and the hard-working spirit of the Yunnan-Guizhou soldiers, the Eastern Route Army set off from Kunming in only 14 days.  At that time, soldiers approached the city of Nanning, and with friendly generals,?It didn't work either.  And I did the math, we don't have enough food and grass now, and the limit we can go to the east of Pingle City to fight is about 10,000.  " Fatty Lu said: "As for the composition of the army, I will bring my 2,600 Qujing Green Battalion, and the 3,000 Nanning Army of the Third General. Brother, you can give me 2,000 Yungui soldiers and 3,000 Guangxi soldiers to make up for it.  ten thousand.  Otherwise, our Yunnan-Guizhou army has been transferred too much, and you, brother-in-law, can't hold back those surrendered troops.  "

    "Then you have to be careful." Wu Shizong warned: "Of course it's best to stop Shang Kexi, the old thief. If you can't stop it, forget it. If it doesn't work, return to Pingle City and ask me for help. I will immediately go south to rescue you. Anyway, our  The task is to defend the eastern front, as long as the main force is kept, if the eastern part of Guangxi is lost, it will be lost. Our foothold is not stable, and the morale of the army and the people have not had time to consolidate, and the army has already been killed by the army. No one can say that we have gained and lost.  .¡±

    "Thank you, uncle, for your guidance." Fatty Lu nodded, and also warned: "But brother, you have to be careful, Shang Zhixiao, Geng Juzhong, Sun Yanji, and Sun Yanling brothers are just a bunch of weeds, and they can't be relied on at any time, let alone take it lightly.  Uncle, you must be careful with them, and don't let them play tricks."

    "Of course." Wu Shizong snorted coldly: "If it wasn't for the fear of losing the soldiers' morale, I would have killed them all. If they dare to play tricks, I can justify my actions!"

    Fatty Lu smiled, turned to Line Yuxuan who had been silent for a while and said with a smile: "Third General Line, didn't you want to fight the enemy side by side with me for a long time? Now that the opportunity has come, why don't you talk again?"

    "I'm listening to you guys." Line Yuxuan smiled, and suddenly gritted his teeth and asked: "But there is one question, just now General Wu Shizong called your brother-in-law, what do you mean by calling him uncle?"  ? Didn¡¯t you tell me that you only have one wife until now?!¡±

    Taking Guangxi with a snake swallowing an elephant, and not even sitting on the buttocks in Guilin City, the 40,000 army of the old man who took advantage of the fire has already been killed.

 Chapter 188 A Loving, Righteous and Good Son-in-Law (Part 1)

    ?

    In fact, the first time the traitor Shang decided to raise his troops, it was not entirely for taking advantage of the fire, but because he was completely pissed off by his unfilial son and unscrupulous son-in-law!  If it hadn't been for many years of being a slave under the rule of the mite dog all these years, and polished countless anger and edges, the old traitor, who is nearly 70 years old, would definitely be pissed to death on the spot by this pair of disobedient sons-in-law!

    In all fairness, among the various things that happened during this period, the situation of the old traitor Shang is indeed very sympathetic. For no reason, he was shot while lying down and was snatched away by the old traitor Wu.  Zhou He's second son, Shang Zhixiao, who held back Wu's army on the eastern front, brazenly murdered a frontier official like Ma Xiongzhen, governor of Guangxi, and led more than 10,000 Guangdong troops to surrender to Shang's nemesis, Wu's old traitor!  What made the traitor Shang even more dumbfounded and furious was that it was his son-in-law Lu Yifeng Lu Fatty who persuaded his son to defect to the enemy!

    Having a son is like this, and a son-in-law is like this. The old traitor Shang is even thinking of hitting his head to death. It is precisely because of this that the old traitor Shang ignores the opposition of many confidantes and nephews, and regardless of the serious trouble in his heart that Zheng Jing of Taiwan is behind him.  He resolutely decided to dispatch all the troops from Guangdong, and personally led the army into Guangxi. He vowed to tear his disobedient son and even more disobedient son-in-law into pieces, and restore the land of Guangdong and Guangxi, which had fallen into the hands of Wu rebels, in order to repay the kindness of the Qing master.  , Flesh and blood!

    What couldn't be more coincidental is that at the beginning of the dispatch of the army, although the old traitor Shang never expected that the Wu Army's East Route Army would advance so fast, he immediately advanced to the city of Guilin and swallowed up the entire territory of Guangxi with a single bite.  However, in the strategy of marching troops, in order to block the northward route of the Wu army and to line up with the army loyal to the Qing Dynasty in northern Guangxi, the old traitor Shang did not choose to enter Guangxi on Luoding Road or Deqing Road, but chose the northernmost position.  The road of Sanshui and Sihui is planned to unite the Qing troops in Pingle, Guilin and Liuzhou all the way to fight the Wu army in the Liuzhou area.

    Unintentionally inserting willows and willows into the shadows, Wu Jun's East Route Army said nothing before, never thought that the old traitor would use all his troops from Guangdong to enter Guangxi.  When the land was newly occupied, when Shang Lao¡¯s army suddenly entered Guangxi from Sanshui and Sihui, Wu Jun¡¯s fragile flanks were immediately exposed to Shang Lao¡¯s knife. Not only did he face the danger of being blocked in Guilin by Shang Lao, but also  Too many surrendered soldiers suddenly rebelled and caused the danger of a chain reaction. Wu Shizong and Lu Fatzi, who were not prepared for this before, were naturally dumbfounded, and decided that the traitor Shang was here to take advantage of the fire to rob and make trouble.

    Under the circumstances, after the old traitor Shang preliminarily grasped this favorable situation through reconnaissance, he was naturally full of energy. He not only accelerated the speed of advancement, but also made the idea of ??recovering Guangxi in one fell swoop and taking the opportunity to annex the entire territory of Guangxi¡ªnow the entire territory of Guangxi  They have all been annexed by Wu Jun. Although Wu Jun is not stable now, and the situation is like a high-rise building built in the desert, it can be knocked down with a little push.  I'm ashamed to take Guangxi back immediately, right?

    Faced with such a bad situation, it is useless to complain about others. In desperation, Fatty Lu had no choice but to personally lead an army of 10,000 from Guilin to the east of Pingle to stop his father-in-law.  If Fatty Lu can repel the main force of Guangdong in one fell swoop and drive the old man out of Guangxi, it will not only win precious time for Wu Jun's East Route Army to digest the surrendered troops and land, but also greatly stabilize the morale of the army and boost morale.  Infinite benefits.

    In order to buy time and prevent the fall of the important town of Pingle and cause a chain reaction, on the way to the battlefield, Fatty Lu also accelerated the marching speed of the army, requiring the army to travel three days in two days.  The Fatty Army, which also had 3,000 newly surrendered soldiers, still met Fatty Lu's requirements. It only took more than two days to arrive in Pingle City.  East, all the way to the Guiling Mountains in the east of Pingle, and the Fatty Lu is now most hopeful in the Guiling Mountains in the east of Pingle. Only in this complex mountainous area can Lu Fatty win by surprise or  A hope that takes risks.

    The self-army's actions were fast enough, but the enemy's actions were even faster. When the fat man's army arrived at Huihui Mountain, the bad news came. The vanguard of Shang Lao's traitor had already arrived at He County in the hinterland of Guiling Mountain. There were only a few hundred township soldiers guarding it.  The old He County once again played the role of grassroots, and surrendered without resistance, and He County fell into the enemy's hands.  In this way, although the old traitor's army has not yet completely walked out of the Guiling mountain area facing the fat man's army, but considering the distance and time, it is impossible for the fat man's army to seize the throat of the Guiling mountain area to stop the enemy.

    "Has He County fallen?" Staring at the topographic map of mountains and rivers in Guangxi provided by the Leading Party, Fatty Lu's two eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot, and he murmured, "If Dong Chongmin sends an army to station He CountySome folk rumors said that the Yunnan-Guizhou army was able to defeat Oboi, it was all because of Fatty Lu's ingenious tricks, cutting off Oboi's retreat through hundreds of miles.  Therefore, Jin Guang didn't pay much attention to Fatty Lu's sending of envoys to show weakness. He just looked at the Hejiang River in the distance, and sighed: "If it really works as the prince expected, my little sister-in-law just wants to test whether he can surrender.  Otherwise, the autumn waters are flooding now, and if my aunt guards against the river, if we want to cross the river and attack, there will definitely be a lot of casualties."

    "This has to be guarded against." The old traitor Shang is experienced in many battles. Although he looks down on his son-in-law's ability to command troops, he will not take it lightly. He quickly ordered in a low voice: "Send a fast horse to pass the order.  The rear army, let them build a pontoon bridge at Fanglindu tonight, and if they fail to attack Zhongshandu tomorrow morning, send Qingqi to cross the river from Fanglin and go back to copy Wugou's back."

    "My lord, the students will arrange it now." Jin Guang was overjoyed and quickly agreed.  Just as he was about to turn around, another messenger came over in front of him, knelt down to the traitorous old man Shang, and said, "Report to the lord, Wu Gou sent another envoy, saying that he wanted to send 30 cows and sheep to the lord.  Ferries are scarce and cannot be carried across the river, so we ask our army to allow us to build a pontoon bridge on the He River so that cattle and sheep can pass.¡±

    "Is there such a good thing?" The old traitor Shang almost didn't laugh out loud, thinking that my son-in-law is really stupid. I am worried about not being able to cross the river now, and you even took the initiative to build a pontoon bridge for me, which saved me a lot of money.  thing.  Thinking of this, Old Traitor Shang immediately agreed: "Okay, allow them to build a pontoon bridge."

    "My lord, our army is about to cross the river, but the enemy offered to build a pontoon bridge to facilitate passage, so beware of fraud." Jin Guang quickly reminded again.

    "How many people can pass on a pontoon bridge at a time? Even if he sneaks across the river at night, can't we strangle them to death? Afraid he will be a ball?" Old Shang Shang sneered and hummed triumphantly: "Let's talk  , this kid is sending cattle and sheep to the army, nine times out of ten it is to test Lao Tzu¡¯s meaning, if Lao Tzu refuses, then the kid will not dare to surrender.¡± (To be continued.

    ?

    (ps: There is something at home, the number of words today is less, please forgive me.)

    Not to mention, probably because he felt that he was really sorry for his father-in-law. This time when he faced off against old traitor Shang by the Hejiang River, Fatty Lu did show a lot of filial piety to express his sincerity in atonement. First, he sent his confidant lackey Wang Shaobo  Kowtow across the river to pay respects, offering Zhu Fangdan's carefully refined Eight Banners Ointment with both hands, and then considering the hard work of the old man, he quickly sent people to send cattle, sheep and good wine to reward him.  Recorded in the annals of history, a new filial piety was added in addition to the twenty-four filial piety, which made the old traitor's anger towards his unworthy son-in-law undiminished, but he was also quite sympathetic.

    Of course, the high-quality Eight Banner ointment is valuable, and cattle, sheep and wine are also very rare and precious gifts in this era of war and chaos.  Set up an array to prevent the son-in-law from sneaking in, and sent a large number of scouts to scout around and visit the son-in-law's army.  Especially at night, the traitor Shang sent his confidant Zhang Qiguang to lead an army to closely patrol along the coast. Large and small torches and lanterns illuminate the water surface of the He River as bright as day, but the son-in-law has the slightest chance to sneak attack.

    The defense is so thorough, not because the traitor Shang is really afraid of his son-in-law, but because of his years of experience in the battlefield, he warns the traitor Shang not to underestimate any opponent on the battlefield.  I don't want to be a stepping stone for my son-in-law to get promoted and get rich under the traitorous enemy Wu.  But what is strange and not surprising is that after a whole night, the Wu army camp to the west of He Jiang was completely silent, and there was no sign of sneak attack by night.

    ? At dawn the next day, the old traitor Shang raised his tent and ordered troops, and called Shang Zhidian, Nie Yingju, Zhang Qiguang, Shi Chengming, Wang Guodong and other important generals to discuss the strategy of advancing troops.  At the meeting, Shang Zhidian, the sixth son of the old traitor, said first: "Father, our army is far away, and the transportation of food and grass is inconvenient, and Taiwan's Zheng Nihu is watching for delays. Once Zheng Ni finds that the hinterland of Guangdong is empty and invades,  Our army will be caught in a dilemma. Therefore, the boy believes that this battle must be decided quickly. It is good to be able to surrender Lu Yifeng.  The land needs food, and it is a long-lasting plan.¡±

    "The sixth prince is right." Nie Yingju echoed, "Although according to various indications, Lu Yifeng thinks of his relatives and is very respectful to the prince, it is possible anyway, but we can't completely place our hopes on it.  The last general believes that it is necessary to create some pressure on Lu Yifeng to let him lead his army to surrender as soon as possible, if not, our army's frontal attack will be justifiable."

    "It makes sense, and I don't want to spend too much time with this brat." Old traitor Shang nodded, and said, "I want to send an envoy to meet Lu Yifeng, and ask him to lead his army to surrender within a day. Otherwise  , I will storm the ferry tomorrow, so I won¡¯t give this brat any hope of delay.¡±

    "Father, let Mr. Jin go." Shang Zhidian suggested again: "Mr. Jin and Lu Yifeng are old friends, and he is eloquent and resourceful. He has the best chance of persuading him to surrender."

    "Sixth prince, it's not the student's evasion." Jin Guang quickly said: "The key is that although the student and Lu Yifeng are old friends, the last time we met in Guangzhou, the student did not get along with him happily. On the contrary, there was some festival.  I'm afraid it will be counterproductive. Our Pingnan Palace and Lu Yifeng have good friendships, only the eldest prince, fourth prince and Huang Zhangsi."

    "They didn't come to the front line, what's the use of talking about it?" Shang Zhidian glared at Jin Guang, complaining that Jin Guang was talking nonsense.

    "There is no need to argue, I have a solution." The old traitor Shang waved his hand and shouted: "Send someone to the other side to send a message, asking Lu Yifeng to go to the bank of the He River, and I want to talk to him across the bank and recruit him personally.  Shang Zhidian, Jin Guang and others were overjoyed when they heard the words, and hurriedly sent someone to contact Wu Jun, asking Fatty Lu to come to the shore to talk in person.

    After the emissary of the old traitor sent the news to the Wu army camp, Fatty Lu, who was thinking about how to meet the old man, was overjoyed, and quickly agreed with a smile in his heart, and said on the spot that in order to express his respect for Lao Taishan  And respect, I will only bring ten entourages to the bridgehead of the Hejiang pontoon bridge, to kowtow to the old traitor Shang.  The Shangjun envoy was also overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed with Fatty Lu to meet at the bridgehead of the pontoon bridge in half an hour, and hurried back to the camp to report.  Fatty Lu took advantage of this precious time to quickly summon the generals and explain the tactics so that the generals will act according to plan.

    Half an hour later, Fatty Lu led ten entourages to the head of the pontoon bridge, and the Guangdong Qing soldiers on the opposite side were already in full formation. Hundreds of shieldmen surrounded the old traitor Shang, Shang Zhidian and Jin Guang and stepped out.  Gradually walked to the head of the pontoon bridge, and negotiated with Fatty Lu across the river.  As soon as he saw the old traitor Shang standing still at the head of the bridge, Fatty Lu immediately swung his whip and got off his horse.It was quiet, and the infantry rushed to build a pontoon bridge to facilitate the passage of the brigade, and they were also very busy.  But in the afternoon, the good news came that the Wu Army team, led by Fatty Lu, retreated across the Siqin River, and did not set up defenses west of Baixiadu, but continued westward to retreat the thirty miles promised by Fatty Lu.  .  At the same time, more than 20,000 people from the main force of the Qing army in Guangdong had also crossed Zhongshandu and boarded the west bank of the He River. Only the team escorting the supplies and the rear army led by Miao Zhixiu had not yet crossed the river.

    "It's not too late, don't wait for the team behind." Seeing the rare opportunity, the old traitor Shang who had also crossed the He River really ordered: "Send the order, all the teams that have crossed the river will follow the old man to Baixiadu.  Before the sky is completely dark, all the former troops must cross the Siqin River, so as to avoid extra troubles and long nights with many dreams."  Your support is my greatest motivation.)

 Chapter 190

    ?

    What is filial son-in-law?  Fatty Lu is a typical representative of a filial son-in-law!

    Even though it was on the battlefield of the two armies, Fatty Lu, as the general of the Wu army, still maintained enough respect and filial piety to the old man Shang Kexi, the old traitor who was the commander of the enemy army.  This will affect the morale of the army and shake the morale. He must be a twenty-four filial son-in-law leader¡ªafter all, everyone has never heard of an army leader who will be so polite and respectful to the enemy commander on the battlefield, right?

    Although the poor Fatty Lu dared not surrender or run away due to the treacherous power of the old man Wu, he was forced to commit crimes and fight the old man to the death.  Regardless of the dissuasion of his subordinates, he resolutely decided to retreat 30 miles to the village to thank the old man for his kindness.  Totally ignoring that such a move would cause the self-army to lose all its geographical advantages, they gave up the two natural defense lines of Hejiang and Siqinjiang that could be defended, and made the self-army fall into a dangerous situation with insufficient troops and no danger to defend!  ¡ª¡ªHow many good son-in-laws are there in this world who are so broad-minded, grand-minded, and extremely filial?

    Fatty Lu is a good son-in-law, but the old traitor Shang is obviously not a good husband. Seeing his son-in-law retreating, the old traitor Shang unceremoniously took over Zhongshan to cross the natural danger; Fatty Lu kept his promise, kept his word, and voluntarily gave up  The Siqin River Baixia Ferry, which can rely on danger and guard, not only does not accept the love of being filial to the son-in-law, but also worries that the son-in-law will suddenly repent. Regardless of the fact that the luggage team and the rear army have not yet crossed the He River, he immediately takes the people who have already crossed the river with him.  Twenty thousand elite soldiers went to rob Baixiadu without giving the son-in-law a chance to repent.

    Facts have proved that this time, Old Traitor Shang is obviously trying to judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. After nearly two hours of rapid march, just after the first quarter of the unitary hour, the front team of the Guangdong Qing Army led by Old Traitor Shang arrived.  At Baixiadu, not only did Fatty Lu not go back on his word, he went back to his division to seize Baixiadu again, and even the six pontoon bridges built by Fatty's army at Baixiadu, Fatty Lu did not order to destroy them, but stayed where they were.  The old traitor's army crossed the river - you know, although Siqin River

    Both the flow and the width of the river are not comparable to the He River, but these days the autumn rains have been continuous, the water in the Siqin River has skyrocketed, and the water flow is fast. If Fatty Lu destroys the pontoon bridge used for the retreat of the self-army, he will not have half a night.  The army of traitors can never cross the Siqin River.

    "Report¡ª!" The scout galloped from the opposite side of the Siqin River to the old traitor Shang, saluted and said: "Report to the lord, the Wugou army has kept its promise and has indeed retreated for thirty miles. It is currently in the Siqin Jiangxi  Go down to the stronghold ten miles away."

    "Little brat, you still have a bit of conscience and reputation." The old traitor Shang sneered again and again, "For this reason, I caught you on the battlefield, so I can consider letting you live."

    "Father, report from the rear." Shang Zhidian also ran up to report: "Our army's rear army led by Miao Zhixiu, Jieshi's general soldier, has also arrived at the east side of Zhongshandu. Miao Zhixiu asked for instructions.  Did the army cross the He River overnight?"

    "Crossing, let them go to the west of Zhongshan and go down to the village." The old man Shang ordered casually: "Let the rear team of the Chinese army that is transporting the luggage speed up, and they must cross the Siqin River to the Xiazhai tonight. The former army and the middle  The main force of the army, cross the river immediately."

    "My lord, it's getting late, let's cross the river at dawn tomorrow." Jin Guang hurriedly dissuaded: "It's the hour of the unitary now, and the sky will soon be dark. If Wu Dog strikes at halfway when our army is crossing the river, we will eat it."  Big loss."

    "Would he do that, brat?" Old Shang said impatiently: "Besides, with the thousands of old and weak soldiers under his command, even if he suddenly repents and strikes at halfway, I don't need to be afraid of him."

    "My lord, it's better to be cautious." Jin Guang continued to dissuade.

    "Do you still need to be careful?" The old man Shang said treacherously: "The little bastard took the initiative to retreat for thirty miles, which has gained the moral advantage. Now you want me to dare not even cross a river, and spread the word. I have such a face!"  Still put it there?"

    Jin Guang had nothing to say, so he had to shut up obediently. At this moment, the old traitor waved his hand, and the main force of the 20,000 Qing army immediately stepped onto the pontoon bridge and began to cross the river.  In case the Fatty Army suddenly dispatched, the Qing army who killed Duhe River would be caught off guard.  At the beginning, the tough-talking old traitor was actually a little worried about his son-in-law's repentance, and suddenly sent troops to kill himself by surprise, but as more and more Qing troops crossed the Siqin River, the fat army remained on hold.  It was only a small number of scouts sent to monitor the movement of the Qing army, and the old traitor Shang gradually felt relieved.

    When it was completely dark, when the number of Qing troops crossing the Siqin River had already exceeded 8,000, the old traitor Shang was completely relieved, and felt that it was boring to stand in this autumn rainy wilderness waiting for the army to cross the river, so he simply let the soldiers  The team surrounded themselves and set foot on the pontoon bridge, wearingThe soldiers of the Japanese army have already rushed up like hungry wolves, and the steel knife rose and fell crazily and cut down several soldiers around the old traitor Shang in an instant, and then a slender black shadow tiger rushed forward, sideways to avoid the counterattack of the old traitor Shang  With a machete, he grabbed the old traitor Shang's arm and used all his strength to pull it back. After all, the old traitor Shang was nearly 70 years old, and his strength was far worse than in his prime. The thin man pulled his arm and bent down.  , the soldiers of the Wu army in the back shouted wildly, and rushed up together, and hurriedly pressed the old man Shang to the muddy ground, and captured him alive!

    "I caught Shang Kexi! I caught Shang Kexi¡ª!" A male and female voice cheered, "I caught Shang Kexi! I caught Shang Kexi!"

    "Third General Line, you really know how to pick cheap ones!" Li Tianzhi cried out with a mournful face, just now he was the first to lead the army to rush to the old traitor Shang, but was blocked by the soldiers around the traitor Shang desperately.  Let Yuxuan pick a huge bargain.

    "Then I don't care, first come, first served." Line Yu Xuan smiled sweetly on his handsome face splattered with blood and mud, stuck out his cute tongue, and thought to himself: "I personally grabbed the old man of the fat man's wife, and died  Fatty's eldest wife will definitely start a fight with him, and when the fat man gets angry and divorces his wife, I, should be able to straighten things up?"

    ?

    "We captured the old thief Shang Kexi? Erlang, did our messenger say something wrong? We actually captured the old thief Shang Kexi alive?!"

    Screaming, Fatty Lu's small eyes were wider than ever in his life, and his mouth was wide enough to stuff two big duck eggs in. He stared at Xiao Erlang who came to report the news and screamed.  Xiao Erlang replied with a smile on his face: "Young master, no matter how confused you are, you won't misunderstand such a big thing, right? We caught the old thief Shang Kexi, and the third general Yu Xuanlan caught him personally."  Yes, the Third General Line and General Li are currently cooperating to escort the old thief Shang Kexi to this side, and I will soon offer the old thief Shang Kexi to your account, young master!"

    "Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master!" Fatty Lu's two dog-headed military advisers, Zhu Fangdan and Wang Shaobo, cheered together, bowing and bowing to Fatty Lu with smiles on their faces.  My God, with less victories and more, he still captured the enemy's coach before the battle. I believe that after this battle, the Dong family can be promoted to the ranks of the world's top famous generals. It is really gratifying, gratifying and congratulatory."

    "Shang Kexi, what a fart!" Fatty Lu jumped three feet high, staring at Mung Bean's small eyes and shouted: "You know what a fart! To me, Shang Kexi can be defeated and beheaded in battle, but I can't  Capture him alive! Now that he has been captured by us, what should I do with him? How should I deal with him? Tell me, what should I do now?"

    After being yelled at so ungratefully by Fatty Lu, Wang Shaobo and Zhu Fangdan suddenly remembered, after Shang Kexi was caught, what should Fatty Lu do with him?  It is absolutely impossible to kill the father-in-law directly. No matter how reasonable the son-in-law kills the father-in-law, it is a matter of shame. In the future, it will be extremely unfavorable for Fatty Lu to recruit the Guangdong army.  Dedicated to the old traitor Wu, to celebrate the festivities of the old traitor Wu and the old traitor Shang. If the old traitor Wu remembered the old hatred and cut off the old traitor Shang, Fatty Lu would still have to bear the reputation of helping outsiders deal with his father-in-law.  There is also no way to explain to the monk Wanyi of Pingnan Palace!  He couldn't even let him go. After finally catching the enemy's coach, he was released without reason. He couldn't explain to his subordinates. The old traitor Wu is going to pursue him. Can't Fatty Lu live a better life?

    "Understood now?" Fatty Lu complained more and more, "If it's just that Shang Kexi beat him away, then it's easy to say anything. Even if he was chopped off in the battle, I can hold a memorial service afterwards to make up for it.  Swords and guns have no eyes, no one can blame me. Now I have to capture him alive, what should I do? No matter what I do, I will be insulted, and I will be angry at both ends. Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror, and he is not a person inside and outside!"

    Zhu Fangdan and Wang Shaobo were completely speechless, and sympathized with Fatty Lu's situation in their hearts.  But things have come to this point, the old traitor Shang has already been caught if he can't be caught, and if he can't be captured alive, he has already been captured alive. Fatty Lu, the unworthy son-in-law, can only use his brains desperately to figure out how to treat his own father-in-law who was captured alive.  Fortunately, Fatty Lu quickly remembered his cheap brother-in-law Shang Zhixin, and slapped his fat thigh happily and said, "There is a way, this matter will give Shang Zhixin a headache! Although this brother-in-law is not bad to my brother-in-law, but I  This brother-in-law is now in a dilemma, and now I have to ask him for help."

    "Boss, how do you plan to let Shang Zhixin take the blame for you?" Wang Shaobo asked curiously.  Fatty Lu waved quickly, called Wang Shaobo and Zhu Fangdan to the front, and whispered in their ears. After Fatty Lu finished talking about his shameless trick, Wang Shaobo and Zhu Fangdan applauded together, and hurriedly picked up their pens according to the order, and went to  After writing to Shang Zhixin, Fatty Lu hurriedly asked Xiao Erlang to arrange banquets, clothes, tents and other things, preparing to entertain his most unlucky father-in-law in history.

    After a long time, when the sky was twilight, the old traitor Shang, who was covered in mud and disheveled in armor, was finally taken into Fatty Lu's camp of the Chinese army.  The old traitors had already been captured alive by the Fatty Army, so the remaining army was naturally nothing to worry about, basically there was no need for Fatty Lu to worry about it anymore.  As soon as they met, Fatty Lu didn't dare to be negligent, he quickly left the table, ran quickly to the old traitor Shang, knelt down on his knees, kowtowed and shouted: "Little son-in-law Lu Yifeng, please pay respects to my father-in-law."

    Looking at the son-in-law kneeling in front of him with a smile on his face, if the old traitor was not still being held down by the soldiers of the fat army, he would definitely kick the unscrupulous son-in-law to death, struggling and roaring: "Shameless little thief, don't stay here  Pretending to be fake! Kill me, kill me quickly!"

    "Father-in-law, don't make jokes." Fatty Lu said with a wry smile: "My son-in-law is a junior, you are an elder, and you are still my son-in-law's direct father-in-law. Even if my son-in-law has a hundred courage, he will not dare to touch you."  A hair, right?"

    "Little thief! Shameless little thief!" The old traitor Shang almost fainted from anger, and he just kept roaring, "Little thief, kill me quickly! Kill me quickly! If you don't dare??He took the letter from Fatty Lu and was escorted out of the camp by the soldiers of the Fatty Army, and returned to the Qing Army Camp in Guangdong to report the letter.

    "Damn it, just recite this infamy." Seeing Jin Guang limping away from his back, Fatty Lu muttered in a low voice, "Anyway, sooner or later, I will play the banner of Xinghan Mieman, even if I kill him."  A traitor father-in-law can also be regarded as righteous and selfless. Sigh, it was really wrong to abduct a traitor¡¯s daughter to be his wife in the past, but now he is in a dilemma, and the retribution has finally come.¡±

    After finally making up his mind to completely turn his wife's mother's family against him, Fatty Lu finally relaxed and settled down to confront the main force of the Qing army in Guangdong across the river, sticking to Baixia Ferry to prevent the main force of the Qing army from crossing the river.  On the second day after Jin Guang returned to the camp of the Qing army, the Qing army in Guangdong sent envoys to bring some clothes and food to the old traitor Shang, promising to withdraw troops and return to Guangdong immediately, withdraw from the occupied Guangxi city land, and asked Fatty Lu to ensure that  The old traitor's life is safe and he must not be pursued.  Of course Fatty Lu agreed without hesitation, and also demanded that the Guangdong Qing army not disturb the people on the way out of Guangxi, and promised not to pursue them. The envoy of the Guangdong Qing army thanked them and returned to the camp to hand over the order.

    On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, August 15th, the eleventh year of Qingkang Mazi, the first battle between the East Route Army of Pingxi Palace and the main force of Pingnan Palace ended. Pingxi Palace won a complete victory.  Five thousand, self-injury is less than a thousand people.  The main force of the Pingnan Palace was completely defeated, and they had no intention of fighting again, so they were forced to sign an alliance with the Pingxi Palace, and the whole army withdrew from Guangxi.  As the news spread, the world shook, and the name of Lu Yifeng, the commander of the Yunnan-Guizhou army, as a despicable god of war, resounded throughout China!

    At the same time, on the battlefield in Hunan, the main force of the Wu army led by the old traitor Wu personally broke through Yuezhou.  middle.  On the battlefield in Sichuan, the governor of Sichuan, Luo Sen, and the admiral, Zheng Jiaolin, were also forced to open the city gates of Chengdu and surrender under the pressure of Wu's troops approaching the city.

    So far, the first phase of the Wu army's anti-Qing campaign has basically ended. Wu Sangui's army won the three fronts, not only annihilating the main force of the Qing army's Eight Banners in one fell swoop, but also conquering the three provinces of Guangxi, Pianyuan, and Sichuan in one fell swoop.  Two hundred thousand!  Facing a series of military victories by the Yunnan-Guizhou army, the Qing court was shaken up and down, and panicked all day long.  The scholars of the Han people who cherished the pre-Ming saw a ray of hope against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty. Countless literati took the initiative to contact Wu Jun and expressed their willingness to serve Wu Jun;  Contact Wu Sangui, implore Wu Sangui to play the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming, and express his willingness to accept Wu Sangui's command and join hands with Wu Sangui to fight against Qing!

    Behind the infinite scenery is a huge hidden worry. While the Yunnan-Guizhou army was sieging the city and conquering the terrain, the ruler of the Qing Dynasty, who had unlimited manpower and material resources and a huge strategic space, also quietly launched a series of dirty and dark counterattacks.  Unfortunately, our Lu Yifeng, Lu Sanhao, and Fatty Lu are an extremely important target in the counterattack plan of the Qing rulers (To be continued.

 Chapter 192 Strategic Mistake

    ?

    In the end, the old traitor Shang Kexi Shang, who was captured by his son-in-law, was tied up and stuffed into a sedan chair, and carried back to Guilin Mansion in a sedan chair and carried into Guilin City.  On the day of triumphant return and entering the city, the whole city of Guilin was a sensation, and so was the whole territory of Guangxi. Not only the brothers Sun Yanji and Sun Yanling who were stationed outside the city of Guilin, but also Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong who were also stationed in Guilin Mansion.  Even Ma Xiong, the admiral of Guangdong who was far away in Liuzhou, was present in person and expressed his warmest congratulations to Fatty Lu and Wu Jundong Route Army.  Especially Shang Zhixiao, who bowed and bowed affectionately to Fatty Lu during the city entry ceremony, as if he was not his own father who was captured alive this time.

    There is no way, the three-province coalition army surrendered general and Ma Xiong and others were completely stunned by the horrific fighting power of the Yunnan-Guizhou army. More than 10,000 troops entered Guangxi and swept the entire territory of Guangxi in less than two months, attacking everyone all the way.  Invincible, the momentum is like a broken bamboo.  In the end, in the face of the full-scale counterattack of the 40,000 Qing troops in Guangdong, Wu Jun's East Route Army only sent a civilian-born Fatty Lu to lead an army of 10,000 to fight, but the result was that it broke several times in less than half a month.  The Guangdong Qing Army captured Guangdong Qing Army coach Pingnan Wang Shang alive on the battlefield!  In the face of such a perverted army, Sun Shanggengma and his gang are extremely courageous, so I'm afraid they don't dare to have two hearts, right?

    In short, after this battle, the situation in Guangxi, which was precarious before, was completely reversed. Before Shang Zhixin, who stayed in Guangdong, responded, the Wu Jun East Route Army had plenty of time to consolidate its rule in Guangxi and digest the newly occupied territory and the  Returning to the army, Sun Shanggengma and his gang of 25 boys are completely dead, and then they will honestly accept the reorganization, accept the official title of the Wu army, and board the Wu army thief ship to work for the old traitor Wu, looking forward to the day when the old traitor Wu  Being able to dominate the world, let us enjoy the blessings and prosperity, and enjoy the glory and wealth.

    At the entry ceremony to welcome Fatty Lu triumphantly, unlike the flattering Sun Shanggengma and others, Fatty Lu¡¯s other brother-in-law, Wu Shizong, the coach of the Wu Jun East Route Army, was a little absent-minded, and he seemed a little preoccupied when he spoke.  The heavy appearance made Fatty Lu start to worry¡ªcould it be that he made a great contribution and aroused the jealousy and hatred of this cheap brother-in-law?  Fortunately, taking advantage of everyone's distraction, Wu Shizong quickly winked at Fatty Lu, and said in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, don't waste time with those sycophants, I have something to do."

    Fatty Lu suddenly realized that he quickly got rid of the entanglement of Sun Shanggengma's sycophants, hurriedly ended the triumphant ceremony, and ordered the three armies to be rewarded, and the meritorious soldiers were rewarded heavily.  Before entering the table, Fatty Lu and Wu Shizong came to the back hall alone. As soon as they were seated, Wu Shizong immediately said with a gloomy expression: "Brother-in-law, something serious happened again. I just received the news last night that the eldest son of our Pingxi Palace was killed."  Already!"

    "The prince was killed?" Fatty Lu jumped up and asked in alarm: "Who did it? Didn't Emperor Mangou express his determination to fight to the death by making peace with us and killing the prince?"

    "It wasn't caused by Emperor Mangou." Wu Shizong shook his head, and said with a gloomy face: "Mangouming's mansion newspaper showed that it was the killer sent by the old thief Oboi before his death in order to vent his hatred for Guizhou's disastrous defeat.  Sneaked back to the murderous hands of Beijing, killed our eldest son of Pingxi Palace in the prison, and planned to kill our youngest brother Wu Shilin, but fortunately, the guards of Mangou's sky prison found and rescued him in time. Afterwards, Emperor Mangou returned the eldest son  All the official positions during his lifetime, posthumously conferred the title of grand master, and put them into the coffin generously, preparing to send the coffin of the eldest son back to Yunnan for burial."

    "Oboi sent someone to do it?" Fatty Lu said suspiciously, "Is Oboi such a narrow-minded person? After losing a battle, killing a prisoner who has no strength to resist is like venting his anger."  Is it his character?"

    "Whether it was Oboi's hand or not is not important now." Wu Shizong said with a distressed expression: "The key is, what should we do now? What will we do in the future? What I am most worried about now is that if the news of the son's murder spreads."  , will it cause instability in the hearts of the people again, and make those new generals and officials have a different heart?"

    Wu Shizong is indeed worthy of being an outstanding representative of the third generation of the Pingxi Palace. He is very thoughtful and comprehensive. Now Guangxi has just been occupied by the Wu army.  , the news that Wu Yingxiong was killed by Oboi spread, and the generals who surrendered would inevitably be suspicious, worried that the old traitor Wu would take them out in a fit of anger, and even more worried that the old traitor Wu would completely break with the Qing court and push them out as cannon fodder for the anti-Qing dynasty  .

    At the same time, from Wu Shizong's tone, Fatty Lu can also see that Wu Shizong has also discovered an extremely important problem, that is, after Wu Yingxiong's death, in case the old traitor Wu died in the middle of the anti-Qing war, what should he do?  Who can take over the burden of old traitor Wu and become the undisputed successor of the Yunnan-Guizhou army?  count onHe said: "Only the Second Prince and General Ma led an army of 40,000 to fight Wuchang? Are the troops in the hands of the Second Prince mainly the elite of our Yunnan-Guizhou main force, or the new army?"

    "Of course the new army is the main one." Zhang Guozhu spread his hands, and said helplessly: "The main force of our Yunnan-Guizhou army is only 70,000 to 80,000 people, and we occupy such a large territory at once.  Yuan's various state capitals, where are so many elites from the main force going to the second prince and the others?"

    "It's broken, it's broken." Fatty Lu cried bitterly, ignoring Yu Xuan's angry eyes, and screamed: "Where's my father-in-law, General Wu Guogui? Where's Wang Shirong? Where's Fang Guangchen and Hu Guozhu? Why don't they persuade them?"  My lord? Wuchang is such an important place, why don¡¯t you go northward to seize it with all your strength? What¡¯s the use of dispersing the main force and grabbing Yongzhou and Guiyang, which are not shitty places? These places simply can¡¯t support a large number of troops, so send new soldiers to go there  It¡¯s so easy to take, why have so many elites been sent instead, isn¡¯t this a waste? It¡¯s like throwing away the watermelon to pick sesame seeds!¡±

    "Lord Lu, in this situation, who dares to persuade you?" Zhang Guozhu sighed and said, "You think General Wu and the others didn't see our strategic decision-making mistakes? But now, after the prince heard the news that his son was killed, he cried like tears every day."  Similarly, he fell ill in the city of Changsha, and he didn¡¯t have the mentality to understand military and political affairs, so who would dare to persuade him?¡±

    "Old thing, the bones are still so soft!" Although he was very sympathetic to the traitorous white-haired man who gave away the black-haired man, Fatty Lu cursed in his heart - he was about to change to a tougher commander, and heard that his son was killed by the enemy  , It should be to take the army to fight the enemy desperately and avenge his son.  As a result, after the old traitor Wu heard the news of his son's death, he cried like a woman and ignored political affairs.

    "By the way." Zhang Guozhu suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "I once heard General Wu and Mr. Fang say that it would be great if you were in Changsha, Mr. Lu. With your eloquence and strategy, you will definitely be able to persuade the prince to return to Changsha.  Cheer up and take us to fight against Man Gou to avenge the prince! Master Lu, why don't you go to Changsha and have a try, maybe you still have a chance."

    "I'm going to Changsha right away!" Fatty Lu also knew that this opportunity must be missed. Once Mangou was relieved to gather an army to guard Wuchang, it would be even more difficult to take down the throat of the nine provinces, so Fatty Lu immediately stood up  , decisively said to Line Yuxuan: "Three generals, further north will be completely controlled by our Pingxi Palace. The team will be led by you and Li Tianzhi. I will take Erlang and the others to go north on Qingqi, and go to Changsha to meet the prince. You  is that OK?"

    "Of course no problem." Line Yu Xuan is very reliable in this regard, immediately nodded in agreement, and said with concern: "You have to be careful, if the prince sends you to Wuchang for reinforcements, don't go alone, wait for me to help you  , I will rush to Changsha as soon as possible.¡±

    "Understood." Fatty Lu nodded vigorously, and then said in a low voice: "You also have to be careful of those fools, if they dare to play tricks, kill them immediately, and I will bear it for you if anything happens."

    Line Yu Xuan nodded gently, and then gently squeezed Fatty Lu's fat hand, reminding Fatty Lu to be careful and cherish himself.  And Zhang Guozhu next to him saw the affectionate appearance of Lu Fatty and the famous third son-in-law, and he couldn't help getting goose bumps on his body, gloating in his heart, "Ha, if Wu Guogui sees his son-in-law and man like this, I don't know  What kind of reaction will there be?"

 Chapter 193 Turning Grief Into Strength

    ?

    It is not without reason that Fatty Lu is so anxious about the Battle of Wuchang, because the throat of the Yangtze River, which leads to nine provinces, is too important to both the Wu army and the Qing army.  It is even no exaggeration to say that whoever can control the martial field between the Wu army and the Qing army can control the initiative of the entire battlefield in the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River!

    If the Wu army failed to conquer Wuchang as it did in history, and let the Qing army continue to control the throat of the Yangtze River, then the slow Qing court could mobilize the manpower and material resources of the whole country to supply food and grass in an endless stream through the two golden waterways of the Yangtze River and the Han River.  Send it into Wuchang City, and then build Wuchang into the base camp of the Qing army's comprehensive counterattack; at the same time, the cavalry and infantry of the Qing Dynasty can also gather in this important town on the south bank of the Yangtze River very calmly, threatening the Wu army's new rear and the granary in the hinterland of Hunan at all times.  , Retreat can be defended, and there is huge space for strategic recovery.

    Going deeper, Wuchang is even more terrible because the water routes extend in all directions. With the overwhelming advantage of the Mite Qing water division, the Mite Qing generals can use warships to send troops to southern cities such as Chongqing, Jiangling, Yuezhou, Jiujiang, and Nanchang.  Let the Wu army be defenseless, exhausted, and the deployment of troops is stretched; moreover, it can give the Wu army navy in the formation stage a fatal blow at any time, and kill the new Wu army navy in the bud, thus establishing a complete water surface advantage.  The advantage of the speed and consumption ratio of water transporting grain is not beyond the reach of land transporting grain in this era.

    But what if, on the other hand, Wu Jun can successfully capture Wuchang, the most important town in Huguang?  Then the situation is naturally quite different. First of all, the Qing army has no foothold in the south of the middle section of the Yangtze River. The pressure on the new rear Hunan grain-producing area in the Wu Army's strategic plan is greatly reduced, and the Wu Army's artillery fire can also cover the entire river at the head of Wuchang City.  , Delay and destroy the assembly and transfer of the Qing army. The Wu army navy planned to be trained and formed in Dongting Lake can also win valuable preparation time. The newly built navy can also transport the Qing army on the Yangtze River under the cover of land artillery fire.  The fleet launched a deadly attack, thus cutting off the Qing army's waterway and food road, increasing the difficulty and cost of food transportation for the Qing army, and then when the time is right, the Wu army navy can naturally use the Yangtze River waterway to go down the river and attack the Qing army.  Jiangnan cut off the water transportation, which completely collapsed the finances of the Qing court.

    At the same time, the grain output of the well-developed Hubei grain-producing areas, as well as the proportion of reserve sailors among the people in Hubei, are definitely not comparable to those in Hunan, which has many mountains and few lakes.  But for such an important place, Fatty Lu repeatedly reminded that the important town of the Yangtze River must be taken, and the old traitor Wu was still the same as in history, only sending the famous 250 Wu Yingqi and the famous brave and foolhardy  Ma Bao, led a newly surrendered army with a serious lack of combat power to attack, but the elite with the strongest combat power were broken up and divided into groups to occupy some remote cities with no strategic significance at all.  He was so angry that he even wanted to strangle this old traitor to death.

    No matter how much you secretly scold Old Man Wu for being a traitor, it¡¯s useless for being short-sighted. Fatty Lu, whose current strength is far from being self-reliant, can¡¯t really strangle Old Man Wu to death.  The war has not yet fully started, and the situation still has room for recovery. I rushed to Changsha as quickly as possible to persuade the traitor Wu to wake up, adjust his strategy to the right direction, and lay a solid foundation for the next step of exterminating the world's dogs!  And the first problem facing Fatty Lu was how to cheer up the old traitor Wu who had just experienced the pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man to lose his son, turn grief into strength, and lead Wu Jun to fight against the mite entrenched in Wuchang City.  Clean up the remnants of evil!

    After galloping fast for five consecutive days, on September 16th, Fatty Lu, who was covered in dust, finally arrived at the city of Changsha.  Fatty Lu was left behind, so when Fatty Lu appeared under the city of Changsha, even Hu Guozhu, who is currently in charge of Changsha's defense, was taken aback.  What happened to the East Route Army? Where is Wu Shizong? Has our East Route Army suffered a defeat?"

    "Uncle, let's talk about other things slowly." Fatty Lu wiped the dust off his face and asked, "Where is grandfather? I want to see him right away."

    "He's in the former governor's yamen of Pianyuan." Hu Guozhu replied smoothly, and then said nervously: "Yifeng, Lao Taishan has been in a very bad situation these days. What happened to the East Route Army? How much has it been damaged?"  Troop strength? You tell me first, don¡¯t attack Lao Taishan directly.¡±

    "Uncle, don't worry, the East Route Army is doing well now, and it's still very good." Fatty Lu said very proudly: "Now, our East Route Army has not only captured the entire territory of Guangxi, but also captured Shang Kexi alive on the battlefield.  If they are captured alive, we will be able to send Shang Kexi to Changsha City in five or six days at most."

    "You took the whole of Guangxi? You also captured theHe went to dress and shoe the old traitor Wu, and shouted: "The son-in-law will personally charge for you, grandfather, cut off the heads full of dogs, bring their heads back, and pay homage to the spirit of the son of the world! We will immediately  Let's go! Immediately-!"

    After being so excited by Fatty Lu, the old traitor Wu, who hadn't gotten out of bed for half a month, had no idea where it came from. He let Fatty Lu put on his shoes and pushed away the maid who came up to serve him.  He put on his clothes, pulled off the treasured sword on the wall, and strode out with the support of Fatty Lu, shouting as he walked, "Send the order, the whole army is assembled, follow the old man to Wuchang City, and find the dog to settle the score! To the old man's relatives!"  The son's revenge¡ª¡ª!"

    The depressed old traitor Wu suddenly became so energetic. Hu Guozhu and others who eavesdropped on the conversation between Fatty Lu and old traitor Wu in the courtyard were stunned, and rushed forward again, grabbing old traitor Wu and Fatty Lu with all their might.  Trying hard to persuade¡ªjust kidding, the old traitor Wu has been lying on the hospital bed for more than half a month, and this will be supported by a mouthful of anger. When the anger subsides, the old traitor Wu will have to lie down again.  Definitely have to add more.  But Fatty Lu didn't care about the old traitor Wu, who was already in his sixties and was dying. He just yelled frantically, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! If you don't fight Wuchang, grandfather and I will fight!  Don't avenge the son, grandfather and I will avenge the son!"

    "I want everyone in the world to know that we will never shed blood in vain¡ª¡ª!"

    "Crack!" Wang Shirong slapped Fatty Lu on the face, interrupting Fatty Lu's crazy roar, and roared with bloodshot eyes: "Who said we won't fight Wuchang? Who said we won't avenge the prince? Neither will you!"  Look, the prince is so sick now, can he lead the army to take revenge himself? It is okay to fight Wuchang, but the prince cannot personally lead the army. If someone else goes, we can all go to the front! But the prince, we must not go now  !"

    It seemed that he was woken up by Wang Shirong. Fatty Lu finally came to his senses, and turned to look at old traitor Wu in the sun. Not to mention, old traitor Wu, who had just experienced the bereavement of his son and tortured by illness, would be really old now.  It's very pitiful, I haven't seen you for only a few months, and I seem to be ten years older, my face is full of wrinkles, and my money braids are completely white, making me look old and weak.  Fatty Lu had a sore nose, and couldn't help but knelt down on his knees again, hugging old traitor Wu's legs and crying loudly, "Grandfather, grandson-in-law is not filial, grandson-in-law is not filial, I didn't expect you to be so sick, grandpa  If you go out to fight, your grandson-in-law deserves death"

    After such a lot of tossing, old traitor Wu¡¯s heart was still sad, but his sense of depression was gone, and while helping Fatty Lu, he choked up and said, ¡°Good grandson-in-law, get up, if you¡¯re counted  If you are not filial, then there will be no filial children in this world. It doesn¡¯t matter, grandfather is much more comfortable now, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go to the hall and discuss how to avenge your uncle.¡±

    Fatty Lu saluted and thanked him, and stood up with tears in his eyes. Everyone present was also in tears, but the traitor Wu turned around and shouted: "Don't cry! What's the use of crying? Crying can bring Ying Xiong back? Pass the order down."  , Blow the trumpet to raise the account, I want to discuss with you the war to attack Wuchang, take Wuchang's blood full of dogs, and avenge my son!"

    "Of course." Everyone agreed with sobs, and hurriedly surrounded old traitor Wu and walked to the hall together. It was only at this moment that Wang Shirong took the opportunity to apologize to Fatty Lu and said, "Master Lu, I'm sorry, I hit you hard."

    Fatty Lu smiled slightly, and replied in a low voice: "Mr. Liangchen, you don't have to be polite. If you don't do this, it will be really hard to end."

    Wang Shirong smiled triumphantly, but couldn't help snorting coldly, scolding Fatty Lu for being shameless, for being able to use such a despicable method to revive old traitor Wu's spirit.  But at this moment, the old traitor Wu suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned around and screamed at Fatty Lu: "Yifeng, I seem to have sent you to Guangxi, why did you come to Changsha? You and the world  What happened to the Eastern Route Army led by Zong? Did you come to Changsha to seek help from the main force after losing the battle?"

    "Grandfather misunderstood, our East Route Army did not suffer a defeat." Fatty Lu replied with a wry smile: "Son-in-law is not talented, and assisting my uncle not only did not suffer a defeat, but also helped my uncle sweep Guangxi, and won the whole of Guangxi in one go."  It¡¯s good to be at odds with your grandfather, although he led the main force of Guangdong Manchu into Guangxi, but he was beaten back by his son-in-law, and it¡¯s good to have captured you alive for grandfather on the battlefield.¡±

    "Bastard boy!" The old traitor Wu was furious, and he knocked on Fatty Lu's fat head with a chestnut, and roared: "I'm not afraid to flash my tongue if you brag! I only gave you more than 12,000 troops in total.  Can you take down the entire Guangxi, and capture the old thief Shang Kexi alive?!"

    "Tell me the truth, how many defeats did you suffer in Guangxi?! If you dare to brag, I will beat you to death!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 194 Talking While Fighting

    ?

    It can be said that when Wu Guogui's urgent report on military information was sent to Changsha City, it proved that the soldiers of the Fat Army were indeed escorting Shang Kexi, the old traitor, and was marching towards Changsha.  After the two or five sons went to Changsha to ask for surrender, Wu Jun's senior officials finally believed Fatty Lu's outrageous military report.  Under Fatty's leadership, he swept across Guangxi, forced the coalition forces of the three provinces to surrender with fewer victories, annexed the entire territory of Guangxi with less victories, and then repelled the main force of the Pingnan Palace with fewer victories. It is gratifying to capture Pingnan King alive!

    Dumbfounded, they were naturally incomparably shocked. It was only at this time that the entire Pingxi Palace was pleasantly surprised to discover that under the cover of the first and second generations of generals in Pingxi, the third generation of Pingxi Palace had two new military stars.  New stars have been rising slowly, exuding a brilliance no less than that of the first and second generations of famous generals. These two generals are the oldest two in the third generation of Pingxi Palace, Wu Shizong and Lu Fatty!  ¡ª¡ªBut there is no doubt that Fatty Lu, who has a strange combat style, dexterity, and both civil and military skills, is obviously better!

    "Hahahaha, good! Hahahahaha! Good! Good! Good! Good catch, good catch! Good!"

    The old traitor Shang, who had been entangled for many years, was actually captured alive by his grandson-in-law. In ecstasy, the old traitor Wu not only temporarily forgot the pain of losing his son, but also got carried away with excitement and cheers. He patted Fatty Lu's fat shoulder and laughed  He couldn't even close his mouth, and he kept praising Fatty Lu and Wu Shizong for his success, and there were successors in the Pingxi Palace.  Hu Guozhu, Fang Guangchen, Wang Shirong and others next to him were stunned, but they also saluted old traitor Wu and congratulated him for capturing Guangxi in one fell swoop. It is gratifying to capture alive and harvest two good generals.

    "Yifeng, I'm glad you didn't cause any trouble after the old thief was captured, right?" Fang Guangchen asked worriedly, "That old bastard is notoriously bad-tempered, and now being captured alive by a junior like you on the battlefield will definitely feel a great shame.  Maybe there will be death intentions, have you got someone to keep an eye on him? Although it doesn't matter to us whether this old guy dies or not, and we are not afraid of his Shang Zhixin's retaliation, but if he really dies, the value of use will be great.  It's dropped significantly."

    "Mr. Xianyan is brilliant." Fatty Lu said with great admiration: "Don't dare to lie to grandfather and Mr. Xianyan. After Shang Kexi was captured, he really planned to commit suicide on a hunger strike. The humble officer was afraid that he would be charged with unfilial piety, so he asked his subordinates to make mistakes.  The bone hand removed his jaw and forcefully poured rice porridge and ginseng soup into his mouth, which saved his life. Later, when he saw that the hunger strike was ineffective, he stopped struggling and honestly accepted the food that the general sent him.  But another time, he planned to kill himself by cutting his veins with pieces of broken dishes. Fortunately, he sent twelve soldiers to take turns to take care of them. He found out in time and snatched the tiles away. Later, he only dared to take wooden bowls and plates.  Bring him food."

    "It's hard work, it's hard work." The old man Wu laughed loudly, and said, "Shang Kexi knows the temper of the old man, and he can definitely do such a thing! But it doesn't matter, as long as you pay close attention to it, it doesn't matter.  Bring the old man into Changsha City, and bring him in front of the old man, and the old man's previous bad words can be completely wiped out!"

    "Father-in-law, Shang Kexi, this old thing, what do you plan to do with it?" Hu Guozhu asked impatiently.

    "How to deal with it? This" The old traitor Wu showed a hesitant look on his face, not to mention, don't let the old traitor Wu grit his teeth as soon as the traitor Shang is mentioned, wishing to skin this old thing and feed it to the dog Ling Chi, but the real thing  The old traitor Shang caught him, but the old traitor Wu really didn't know how to deal with this deadly enemy.

    "My lord, the students feel that this thief must not be killed." Fang Guangchen was afraid that the traitor Wu would remember his old hatred and chop off the old traitor Shang with a knife, so he hurriedly reminded: "Although killing this thief relieves anger, it will lose your style, and it will not be good for the prince.  To recruit the Guangdong army in the future, it is better to hold it in your hands and use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with Shang Zhixin. Although Shang Zhixin is definitely unwilling to take his father back to Guangdong, he absolutely dare not ignore Shang Kexi and bear the burden of unfilial piety  Infamy, we can use this to make a big fuss and get more benefits from Shang Zhixin."

    "Mr. Xianyan is right." Wang Shirong nodded in agreement, and added: "It is gratifying to have another role at the moment, and that is to take him to Wuchang City. Let the stubborn dogs in the city see our military might and shake them.  Their morale is demoralized."

    The old traitor Wu nodded his head, and he totally agreed with the bad idea of ??the dog-headed military advisers, but Fatty Lu didn't even dare to take a breath¡ªto give old traitor Wu an idea to deal with his own old man, old traitor Shang, then Fatty Lu would not  Don't let people break the back of the spine?  Just at this time, a guard suddenly rushed from outside the hall, went directly to the old traitor Wu and knelt down on one knee, raised a thick memorial over his head with both hands, and said respectfully: "My lord, the second prince sent me from Wuchang  people fast??Added a sentence, said: "Of course, in addition to negotiating, you can also give me more military advice. If you can come up with a good way to help me take down the important town of Wuchang at the lowest cost, of course there will be merits in military exploits."  You have one."

    Considering that the Fatty Army of his own lineage was indeed too exhausted, Fatty Lu had no choice but to reply dejectedly: "Thank you grandfather, grandson-in-law will definitely do his best."

    After finalizing the Wuchang battlefield strategy of fighting and talking, on September 22, Yu Xuan, Li Tianzhi and others escorted the old thief Shang Kexi to Changsha.  Contrary to everyone's expectation, Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi, two old traitors who have never been at odds with each other all their lives, met again after more than ten years.  The old monk told each other how farewell he was, expressed condolences to the old traitor Shang¡¯s physical condition, and publicly scolded Fatty Lu, the grandson-in-law who captured the old traitor Shang, and blamed Fatty Lu for being too rough in dealing with the traitor Shang¡¯s hunger strike.  Forcibly force-feeding the old traitor's chin!

    Of course, the more cordial and enthusiastic the old traitor Wu is, the more shameless the old traitor Shang, who is a prisoner, will naturally feel ashamed.  For the sake of the feudal lord, put yourself to death immediately, and don't let yourself endure such shame and humiliation again!  This is a real shame and shame!

    But it's a pity that the old traitor Wu, who hated the old traitor Shang so much that he hated his teeth so much, refused to do anything now - anyway, he has already caught it, isn't it good to play with the cat and mouse?  Therefore, not only was old traitor Wu not angry, but he smiled and ordered the guards to treat old traitor Shang kindly.

 Chapter 195

    ?

    The battle for Wuchang between the Wu army and the Qing army can basically be described as a series of twists and turns.  At that time, the city gate of Yuezhou was suddenly opened to welcome the Wu army into the city, causing Yuezhou to change hands. The remnants of the Qing army led by Tu Hai and Yue Le had to flee back to Wuchang by water, so the Qing army entrenched in Wuchang City was up and down.  They all fell into despair, there were countless deserters, and calls for withdrawal to the north of the Yangtze River kept coming and going.

    How critical was the situation of the Qing army in Wuchang at that time?  It can be seen from the strict military law of the Qing army. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the commanders of the Qing army such as Tu Hai, Yue Le, and Cai Yurong alone executed more than 400 deserters in the city to death!  But even so, the escape of soldiers in the city is still repeated and happens every day. Even Cai Yurong, the governor of the three provinces of Sichuan, Huguang and Guangxi, is a hard-core traitor who secretly confessed that his confidants are preparing ships and are ready to leave from Wuchang at any time.  Shuimen fled across the river to Hankou or Hanyang for his life.

    ?The first turning point occurred when Old Traitor Wu made a mistake in his tactical decision-making. With an overall advantage in strength, weapons, and morale, Old Traitor Wu actually broke up the elite main force and reorganized the army with veterans and recruits!  Doing so, although correct in the long run, can quickly increase the overall combat effectiveness of the new army.  However, when the enemy is approaching, it is tantamount to breaking one's own arm. Not only can it not quickly improve the overall combat effectiveness of the Wu army, but for a considerable period of time, the main force of the Wu army, which has been honed through years of conquest of the Shuixi tribes.  Elite, but their combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened, and they cannot form an overwhelming advantage over the Qing army.

    The second stupid decision of the old traitor Wu was in the tactical direction. Although Fatty Lu repeatedly emphasized that Huguang must be captured first despite his nagging and infamy, the dog-headed military advisers of the old traitor Wu, Hu Guozhu, Fang Guangchen and Wang Shirong, were also very clear about the Wuchang battlefield.  However, the old traitor Wu still did not listen to their advice and invested heavily in the Wuchang battlefield, let alone the main force. Instead, he dispersed the army and took some non-important cities that were destined to fall into the hands of the Wu army.  They dispatched 40,000 second-rate troops headed by newly surrendered soldiers, handed over to the famous 250 Wu Yingqi and the notoriously brave general Ma Bao, and asked them to attack this strategically important city of Wuchang.

    Of course, it may not be said that the veteran Wu old traitor has no strategic vision at all, but Wu old traitor really underestimated the enemy this time. No matter how low the morale of the more than 20,000 Qing troops who fled back to Wuchang City,  People are panicking, but they are always the elite selected by Oboi from the whole army of Qing Dynasty. The nearly 20,000 Huguang Qing army stationed in Wuchang are also the main soldiers under the command of Cai Yurong, a hardcore traitor and master of escape on the battlefield.  The combination of the two and the fact that Wuchang City has high moats and deep moats, backed by the golden waterway of the Yangtze River, and sufficient food and grass can consume ten generations of Wu Jun to death!  At the same time, Tuhai, Yue Le, Cai Yurong, and Chani, the main generals of the Qing army, were all famous generals of the Qing Dynasty who were the last to kill Wu Sangui in history, and their commanding abilities were definitely considered top-notch in the world.  So

    ?Wu Yingqi and Ma Bao can't do without losing money if they underestimate the enemy and fight against the enemy.  What makes Lu Fatty and other Wu Jun insightful people even more angry is that Wu Yingqi and Ma Bao also have serious problems in the combination of arms. Wu Yingqi and Ma Bao are so stupid that they hold the Wu Jun airship that can change the direction of the battle.  Let the airship fight alone, and act alone to blow up the houses in Wuchang City, instead of the air force and army fighting together, choose the effective beheading tactics of letting the army siege the city and the air force attack the enemy's flag array!

    The result is also very natural. After more than a dozen dispatches of Wu Jun's airship, the precious dilute sulfuric acid was almost exhausted. Many houses and streets in Wuchang City were blown up, and more people were killed by the bombing. It also greatly shocked the morale and morale of the defenders.  However, none of the important generals of Mite Qing was bombed.

    But to be fair, Wu Yingqi and Ma Bao can't be completely blamed for their lack of strategy. The main reason is that the Qing army has also learned how to behave. Every time they go to the city to fight, there are several true and false flag formations, and each flag formation is released uniformly.  The order was issued to unify the command flag. Wu Jun's airship was hundreds of meters above the sky, and it was really difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, blowing up the real command flag array of the Qing army.  Moreover, Tu Hai, Yue Le and others learned their lessons and formulated an effective command plan. Tu Hai's flag formation was destroyed, Yue Le went up, Yue Le's flag formation was destroyed, and Chani went up, and after Chani, Cai Yurong went up, and so on.  Instead, even if the Wu army's airship destroys the real flag array of the Qing army, the Qing army's command system can still remain unimpeded.

    Using the unprepared versus the well-prepared, storming the fortified city was insufficient both in strength and individual combat effectiveness. After several times of attacking the city, the result was naturally predictable. Although the Qing army led by Wu Yingqi and Ma Bao launched six strong attacks,  Losing more than 5,000 soldiers of the Wu army, not only failed to capture the city of Wuchang, but also boosted the morale and confidence of the Qing army, and found that the Wu army was actually nothing more than that.Yilong refused to negotiate the banner of forcing himself to rebel, so after Ye Bilong and himself returned to the capital, how could they explain to Xiao Mazi and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?  But Fatty Lu observed his words, and hit the iron while it was hot: "My lord, by the way, if our Lord Pingxi is really forced by you to join forces with Taiwan Zheng Ni, then our Lord Pingxi will definitely consider taking the captured Eight Banners Prince Baylor to show his sincerity."  Ladies and gentlemen, send some of them to Taiwan to give to Zheng Jing¡¯s rebels. ¡ª¡ªAt that time, all the consequences will still be borne by you.¡±

    Zheerken sweated even more, and after a long while, Zheerken finally replied helplessly: "Mr.  Afterwards, let Master Zhongtang decide whether to agree to fight with your army while negotiating."

    "Of course." Hu Guozhu nodded vigorously, and said with a smile: "Master Zhe, please discuss carefully with Ye Zhongtang. We have plenty of time, so we can wait patiently."

    "I will do my best." Zheerken agreed helplessly, and then asked tentatively: "Mr. Hu, Mr. Sanhao, since your Pingxi Palace is also very sincere in negotiating, then I will dare to ask you one more question, what exactly is your army?"  What kind of negotiating conditions must be put forward before we agree to a truce and peace with our Qing army?"

    "Regarding this point, Mr. Zhe, please rest assured." Fatty Lu took the conversation away and said with a smile: "Our Pingxi Palace is all servants of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's servants, so naturally we will not embarrass the emperor.  Make it difficult for the Qing court. We only have two conditions, no matter which one the emperor and the Qing court agree to, we can stop fighting immediately."

    "Oh, so what are the two conditions?" Zorken asked impatiently.

    "The first condition, of course, is to ask the emperor to release our prince's little grandson." Fatty Lu said lightly: "The second is to hand over the murderer who killed our son, and reward our Pingxi Palace for our country's efforts to eliminate rape and kill Oboi."  The sacrifices made on the battlefield will compensate us for the money, food and military pay spent by the Pingxi Palace. In view of the military situation in the Southwest, it is enough to ask the emperor to allow our prince to manage a few more provinces of the Qing Dynasty."

    Needing money, food, military pay, hostages, territory, and murderers, these were already expected by Ye Bilong, Zheerken and others, so Zheerken didn't show much surprise, but asked curiously: "  Miyoshi, what about your second condition?"

    "Our second condition is simple, just one sentence." Fatty Lu replied with a smile: "Emperor Kangxi, please abdicate and establish a new monarch!"

    "What?" Zhe Erken jumped up suddenly, and shouted: "What did you say? You want the emperor to abdicate?"

    "Master Zhe, in fact, we don't want to bring up this point." Fatty Lu said with a very painful expression: "It's just that you have seen, Mr. Zhe, that after our young emperor ascended the throne, not only did he not show the slightest bit of benevolence, he did not  The slightest benefit to the country and the people, on the contrary, it also sheltered and condoned a traitor like Oboi, causing harm to the country and the people, and poisoning the world. Therefore, our Pingxi Palace is bold and wants to ask the emperor to abdicate to let the virtuous, and establish a new elder king."

    "Establish an older and new king?" Zheerken was furious, and asked angrily, "Then who do you want to be the emperor? It won't be your Prince Pingxi, right?"

    "Of course not." Fatty Lu shook his head and said with a smile: "Our Lord Pingxi is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, unparalleled in loyalty, loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and even more like a brother to the emperor. How dare we have the slightest desire to usurp the throne and seek rebellion? ¡ª¡ªOur  It means that I want to invite Prince An, Yue Le, to succeed me to the throne!"

    "Will Prince An inherit the throne?" Zhe Erken was dumbfounded, so surprised that he could hardly believe his ears.

    "Hahahaha" At this time, Hu Guozhu suddenly burst into laughter, got up and waved, "Yifeng, why are you still so naughty? During the negotiation, you should stop joking with Mr. Zhe."

    After that, Hu Guozhu turned to Zheerken again and said with a smile: "Don't blame Zheer, this is Yifeng joking with you. In fact, we only have one condition, which is the first one Yifeng said before. Please ask the emperor to supplement our military expenses and hand over the money."  The murderer who killed the son and the younger grandson who returned to my father-in-law. The second condition is completely nonsense by Yifeng, so you must not take it to heart."

    "Scared me to death." Zhe Erken let out a long sigh of relief, and complained again: "Master Hu, during the official negotiations in the Pingxi Palace, how can you make such a big joke? This is simply a joke!"

    "Master Zhe taught you a lesson, and the next official will definitely teach Yifeng a lesson in a while." Hu Guozhu apologized again and again, and then suddenly said: "However, Master Zhe, you can't blame Yifeng for joking. In fact, there are people on your side who hope that we will propose such a  Please let the emperor abdicate and let Prince An"

    "Uncle." Fatty Lu quickly pulled Hu Guozhu's sleeve. Hu Guozhu was taken aback, shut up quickly, and said haha: "Joke, joke, don't blame me, don't worry about it, haha."

    "A joke?" Zhe Erken was suspicious. "In our team, does anyone want the emperor to abdicate and let Prince An succeed?" (To be continued.

 Chapter 196 Yue Le's plan to become emperor

    ?

    (ps: The end of the month is coming soon, please ask for a monthly ticket at the end of the month, please friends look through the boxes for the pure wolf, and see if you can find a few to reward the pure wolf.)

    "Damn it! Lu Yifeng's bastard, he's doing it again! He's sowing discord and fanning the flames again. Are you tired of it? I'm already tired of you!"

    After listening to Zhe Erken's report, Rao Daqing, Shuo'an, and Prince Yue Leyue couldn't help but jump up and scolded  He made a swear word, "Where did this king recruit you to provoke you, a thief? You, a thief, are actually going to kill me and harm me like this?! Unexpectedly, even the king who is planning to usurp the throne!"  Can the rumors be fabricated?!"

    "Lu Yifeng's dog thief is such a person! Just like a mad dog or a poisonous snake, it won't be comfortable if it doesn't bite people for a day!" Tu Hai, who has the same illness as Yue Le, took the conversation, gnashing his teeth and scolding: "Back then, I didn't know  How did you provoke this mad dog? His family was ruined, his wife and children were separated, and a leg was disabled! If I catch this mad dog one day, I will definitely cut off the fat from his body and put it away  It was scalded in a boiling water pot, stuffed into his mouth, forcing him to eat it for himself¡ª¡ª!"

    "Remember to let me cut a few knives too!" Yue Le echoed viciously, then turned to Ye Bilong and the others beside him and said, "Yi Zhongtang, since that bastard Lu Yifeng also came to Wuchang, he was appointed by the old thief Wu Sangui  In order to participate in the negotiation with you, in Xiao Wang's opinion, Master Zhongtang, your negotiation this time will be worse, and there will never be any good results!"

    "The lord really cares about this Lu Yifeng so much?" Ye Bilong was a little surprised, and asked, "He is the size of a sesame seed mung bean, from the fourth-rank magistrate, and there are many more bastards in Yongding River than this person, so it is really worth reassuring."  Are you deeply afraid, my lord?"

    "Yi Zhongtang, you haven't dealt with that barbarian before, and you don't know how slippery and treacherous he is!" Yue Le and Tu Hai cried out in unison, and quickly took the food they ate during the few times they had contact with Fatty Lu.  The big losses are told to Ye Bilong one by one, and the embellished description expands the harm of Fatty Lu, and warns Ye Bilong not to take this fat man lightly, otherwise he will suffer a big loss!  In the end, Tu Hai and Yue Le also suggested Ye Bilong together, thinking that it is best to stop negotiating with the Wu army now, and wait until the Wuchang City, which uses the fortified city and deep moats, makes the Wu army suffer, and then it will not be too late to start negotiations, otherwise, Ye Bilong  If Long will go to deal with Fatty Lu, he will definitely suffer a big loss!

    After listening to Yue Le and Tu Hai's complaints and suggestions, Ye Bilong was silent for a long time, and then said after a while: "So, during the negotiation period, this old man can't take Lu Yifeng barbarian lightly. But there is no way, since  The emperor issued a decree for the old man to serve as an imperial envoy, fully responsible for negotiating a truce with the old thief Wu Sangui, and now that the old thief Wu Sangui has agreed to negotiate, the old man cannot negotiate with them, otherwise, the old man will have no way to explain to the emperor and the court."

    "Yi Zhongtang, can you reconsider?" Yue Le reminded resolutely: "Now Wu Sangui's old thief is approaching the city, you go to negotiate with Wu Sangui's old thief, you will definitely be at a disadvantage at the negotiating table, but if we block Wu Sangui  With the army of old thieves, the old thief Wu Sangui can't do anything in Wuchang City, wouldn't the situation be much more favorable for us?"

    Considering that he will be severely punished if he returns to Beijing after suffering a loss at the negotiating table, and considering that Wu Jun is in a good position, he must be at a disadvantage in negotiating now.  At this time, the messenger from outside the door rushed in, knelt down on one knee in front of Tu Hai, and clasped his fists, saying: "I would like to report to General Fuyuan that the main force of Wu Dog has arrived at the foot of Wuchang City.  Liangzihu set up camp."

    "It's so fast." Tuhai took a breath, and hurriedly shouted: "Explore again!"

    The orderly went away with the order, never thought that the previous orderly had just left the front foot, and the other orderly rushed in again, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted in panic: "To General Fuyuan, the old thief Wu Sangui personally leads an army!"  Come to explore the city, and there is a prisoner in custody, who claims to be Pingnan King Shang Kexi, who was captured alive by the Wugou East Route Army, and asks the general to answer with you in the city!"

    "What?" Tu Hai, Yue Le and the others jumped up together, and exclaimed palely: "King Pingnan was also captured alive by Wu Gou? How is it possible?"

    "Go up the city wall and have a look! This is no small matter!" Ye Bilong ran out of the hall without saying a word, followed by Tuhai, Yue Le, Cai Yurong and others, and ordered the troops to escort him and his party  Go to the city to check the situation.

    Hastily went up to the South Gate Tower of Wuchang, and when I looked down carefully, as expected, a group of Wu soldiers and horses holding the flag of Commander Wu Sangui, surrounded by a large group of wolves, tigers and leopards from the Pingxi Palace, were inspecting the city defense at the bottom of the city.  a prison wagon containingThat night, the infantry brigade of the Wu army was dispatched, and under the cover of darkness, they began to fill up the moat river at the east gate of Wuchang with earth bags on their backs.  The moat was quickly filled up.  When the Qing army found out that something was wrong and hurriedly sent troops out to stop the destruction, the Wu army¡¯s rocket vehicles bombarded the city gate indiscriminately. Not only did the Qing army howl with ghosts and wolves, making it difficult to leave the city for half a step, it also inadvertently blew up the suspension bridge of the east gate.  , so that Wu Jun can reach the city.

    Unable to get out of the city, the Qing army could only fire cannons and arrows on the city wall to stop it. Unfortunately, Wu Jun filled the river at night and deliberately did not light torches so as not to be exposed.  As luck would have it, they fired guns and arrows indiscriminately, wasting countless ammunition and arrows in vain, but had little effect and hardly injured many soldiers of the Wu army.

    "Wu Gou is probably planning to enter the city by tunnel." When the sky was twilight, he saw the infantry of the Wu army returning to the camp to rest like the tide, and the surface of the Wuchang moat that had been filled up a lot, Tu Hai and Yue Le, etc.  The commander-in-chief of the Qing army was very worried, knowing that Wu Jun's move was not only conducive to storming the city, but was more likely to be an idea of ??tunneling into the city-filling the moat first, and digging tunnels into the city can reduce the amount of engineering increased by digging deep tunnels and avoid river water irrigation.  into the tunnel.

    "You should be prepared with both hands." Yue Le suggested: "One is to dig a deep moat during the day to slow down Wugou's digging progress, and the other is to dig deep trenches in the city to prevent Wugou from entering the city through tunnels."

    "What if Wu Gou buried gunpowder under the city wall?" Tu Hai reminded: "When our Qing army attacked Songshan City, we used such tactics. Wu Gou's ghost gunpowder is much more powerful than ours.  With such a tactic, it is even more handy.¡±

    "About this point, we have to guard against it." Yue Le pondered: "But it's not impossible to crack it, we can bury more large tanks on the ground, and judge the location of Wugou's tunnel at any time, until Wugou's tunnel is dug under the city  At that time, we immediately back-dug the tunnel to connect with the Wugou Tunnel, and used the bellows to inject poisonous smoke to kill the Wugou spade soldiers in the tunnel!"

    "Your Majesty's plan!" Tu Hai was overjoyed, and hurriedly confessed to let the soldiers of the Qing army in the city follow the plan.

    At the same time outside the city of Wuchang, after using a telescope to observe the filling of Wuchang's moat and the reaction of the Qing army guards, Fatty Lu frowned again, and said to himself: "Is this useful? Hu Guozhu and  Wang Shirong made such a big move to fill up the moat, can Man Gou prevent us from attacking the city? Tu Hai and Yue Le, two Man Gou, are not good characters with a simple and kind heart.  If you don't attack the city by force, can you not see through our authentic siege tactics?"

    "If this is the case, Wu Gou dug the tunnel back to connect with our tunnel, and before we have time to bury the explosives and fill it with water and smoke, it can destroy our tunnel, kill a large number of our engineers, and let us waste our troops."

    "Fatty, what's the use of you muttering here?" Line Yuxuan next to him interrupted and said, "Why don't you remind the prince quickly, please take precautions?"

    "No! No need to remind!" Fatty Lu suddenly changed his face, and said seriously: "No need to remind, authentic siege tactics, continue to implement!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 197 Armistice Negotiations

    ?

    At noon on September 29th, the 11th year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, on Baishazhou, five miles southwest of Wuchang, in a temporary marching tent, beside an ordinary hardwood square table, Wu Jun, who attracted everyone's attention,  The armistice negotiations with the Qing army officially started for the first time.  The participants of the meeting are as follows: the chief negotiator of the Wu side is Hu Guozhu, the chief secretary of the Pingxi Palace and the left general of Jinwu, and the left and right deputies are Lu Yifeng and Zhongshu Shifang Xueshi respectively; the chief negotiator of the Qing army is the four assistant governments  The last of the ministers¡ª¡ªE Bilong, the last Grand Master of the Kang Mazi Dynasty, and the two deputies were Zhe Erken, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Fu Dali, the head of the Imperial Academy.

    This is a negotiation that is destined to be full of hostility, disputes, bargaining, and gunpowder. Even before the negotiation officially started, Wu Jun¡¯s representative and Mi Qing¡¯s representative launched a psychological contest.  I am also the plenipotentiary representative of the Qing emperor to participate in the negotiations, so I asked my seat to sit north and south, taking the meaning of respect from the south, which made Wu Jun's representative fall into the psychological disadvantage of being a vassal from the north.

    It's a pity that among Ye Bilong's opponents, Lu Yifeng, who is the most difficult, cunning, and best at psychological tactics, although Fatty Lu doesn't understand ancient geomantic omen, he has also heard that representatives of the Volunteer Army and the U.S. Army during negotiations in Panmunjom in history  There was a fierce battle over who would sit in the north and who would face the south, so Fatty Lu immediately pointed out that the Qing army had lost consecutive battles and lost consecutively. They should be at a disadvantage if they sit south and face north.  .

    Faced with Fatty Lu's questioning, Ye Bilong immediately argued that what Wu Jun defeated was only Oboi, not the Qing court, and Wu Jun was negotiating with Kang Mazi, the Qing emperor, as a courtier this time, so he should sit on the south side  !  Fatty Lu immediately retorted, saying that this negotiation was a fair and just armistice negotiation, not a tribute from the Pingxi Palace.  The title was not deprived, so Wu Jun's defeat of Obai was equivalent to defeating the Qing court!  So, Wu Jun representatives are qualified and must go from north to south to win!

    The two sides insisted on their own words and refused to give in to each other. They fought with each other for nearly an hour, and the quarrel was so blushing that neither party was willing to make principled concessions. In the end, Ye Bilong became angry and demanded to end the negotiations immediately until the two sides sent representatives to each other to reach an agreement.  The seat direction will be renegotiated!  Fatty Lu did not show any weakness, and immediately agreed to Ye Bilong's request to suspend the negotiation, and threatened: "Yi Zhongtang, of course you can suspend the negotiation, this is your freedom!  The necessary expenses, as well as the expenses of the Yunnan-Guizhou generals and soldiers who guard them, must be borne by your army! From today onwards, five thousand taels of silver will be inscribed every day. After the negotiation is reached, your army must compensate our army for this expense, otherwise,  Our army has the right to refuse to release these prisoners!"

    "Five thousand taels of silver a day? You go and grab it!" Ye Bilong furiously said, "How much do we have captured Prince Baylor? How much food do you eat in a day? The grain bought by five thousand taels of silver can take them away."  Is your cell buried?"

    "Yi Zhongtang seems to have forgotten that thanks to your economic blockade, the price of food in Yunnan and Guizhou has skyrocketed." Fatty Lu replied coldly: "The senior prisoners of your army have fish and meat every day, and the people of Yunnan and Guizhou even eat food.  I can't afford it, but I have to support so many princes Baylor and more than 20,000 bannerman masters, after calculating all kinds of expenses, the price of five thousand taels of silver per day, the humble officials have already given Ye Zhongtang a 20% discount."

    "Of course, if Ye Zhongtang thinks the price of five thousand taels a day is too expensive and wants to lower it a bit, that's fine." Fatty Lu sneered and added: "Ye Zhongtang, please make a price, even if you only pay one tael a day  It¡¯s all right, we will use this tael of silver to pay for the freight of the people and the wages of the cooks, and then we will buy rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, and invite Kang Wang, Lord Shun, forty-six beiles and more than two hundred noble generals who are above the ranks,  We also invite the more than 20,000 captured bannermen and soldiers to enjoy it, and we will tell them truthfully that it is not we who are depriving them of food and clothing, but you, the old man in the middle hall, and only give them more than 20,000 people a food allowance of one or two taels of silver a day."

    "You even count the expenses of the banner soldiers and captives?" Ye Bilong's mouse tail almost stood up in anger.

    "If Ye Zhongtang wants the captives of the bannermen to be treated the same as the captives of the green battalion, of course we don't need to count the money." Fatty Lu replied with a smile: "You can report to the prince immediately for the lowly ranks, and ask the prince to treat the captives of the bannermen as the prisoners of the Han people.  , were all sent to the mines to do hard work, and were given a meal of pig food every day. Each person could not mine 500 catties of ore a day, and there was not even a meal of pig food! At that time, we will report to the Qing court to explain that we did not want to  This is what you asked us to do, Ye Zhongtang."

    "Rogue! You are a complete rascal!" Ye Bilong roared unbearably, and shouted: "Lu Yifeng!?Filling only the moat at the east gate of Wuchang is not only not conducive to the deployment of our troops during the siege, but it is also likely to be discovered by man dogs. Our authentic siege tactics are not as good as filling the moats at the east gate and south gate together.  It can attack the east gate and west gate of Wuchang at the same time, and it can also play the role of diverting the sight of the dog and covering the authentic tactics of our army.  In addition, after filling these two sections of the moat, the problem of tunnel leakage can also be greatly improved.  Even if the miners made a mistake in their exploration, dug in the wrong direction underground, and accidentally dug to the south, there would be no danger of river water pouring into the tunnel.  "

    "Then let's fill in the moat to the south as well." Since he didn't have to dig the tunnel himself, and seeing that what Fatty Lu said was quite reasonable, the traitor Wu agreed to Fatty Lu's strong request and ordered  Said: "Let Yang Fengxian's infantry team also dispatch, together with Yu Hualong's team, simultaneously fill up the moats of the south and east gates of Wuchang."

    The generals of Wu Jun who were present agreed, and when the old traitor Wu was about to say a few words to Fatty Lu, Fatty Lu cupped his hands and said in a hurry: "Grandfather, my son-in-law has something urgent to do, and I have to go to the military workshop.  Say goodbye first."

    "Stinky boy, you ran away as soon as you finished speaking. What's the rush?" Old man Wu scolded with a sinister smile, then waved his hand and said, "Since you are in a hurry, then you should go quickly, pay attention to rest, and don't be busy during the day and night."  I'm exhausted." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

    "If not, the old man will immediately announce the cessation of negotiations, and will report to the imperial court to explain the whole story, explaining how your army officer Lu Yifeng broke his promise during the negotiation period, spread rumors and slandered, deceived the emperor and committed a crime of alienating the flesh and blood of my sage, my sage, and the people of the world.  , to explain why the old man was forced to give up the negotiation!

    As soon as the second armistice negotiation started the next day, Ye Bilong, the full-fledged imperial envoy sent by Xiao Mazi, issued the above declaration with a livid face.  Blowing his beard and staring, his eyes were so fierce that he almost wanted to eat Fatty Lu alive.

    But still the same sentence, I really can't blame Ye Bilong and his two deputies for being narrow-minded and narrow-minded. The key is that Fatty Lu did too much, and even made the Qing court ignore the life and death of the Qing army's green battalion soldiers and prisoners of war.  It was published and printed on leaflets and scattered in Wuchang City, which caused the morale of the green camp soldiers of the Qing army in Wuchang to be demoralized.  The overall combat effectiveness of the army, although the commander of the Qing army tried his best to refute the rumors to stabilize the morale of the army, but because he could not take actual actions, the results were minimal.

    "Yi Zhongtang, you don't understand when you say that you are an official." Fatty Lu jumped three feet high, jumped up and yelled confidently: "The humble official dares to ask Ye Zhongtang, why did the humble official break his promise? How did you spread rumors to hurt him?  "

    "Then what is this?" Fu Dali, a good old man, couldn't stand Fatty Lu's shameless sophistry. He slapped the two kinds of leaflets that Wu Jun threw into Wuchang City yesterday on the negotiating table, and asked angrily, "Say it yourself, are these yours?"  Handwriting? Our people have said that in Yunnan and Guizhou, the only person who can do such immoral things is you!"

    "I printed this leaflet pretty well!" Fatty Lu picked up the map of the mines on the backs of the Qing army captives, and asked confidently, "However, I would like to ask Ye Zhongtang, Mr. Zhe and Mr. Fu, is this true? Are you negotiating?"  In the terms, there is a word about the Han soldiers from the Green Camp who were captured by us and refused to surrender? You are not benevolent and unrighteous, so I can¡¯t even make it public? It¡¯s a slander of the door?"

    "Besides, Ye Zhongtang, did you ask before the negotiation, and did we agree that the content of the negotiation should not be disclosed to the public? You didn't ask us, and we didn't agree. How can I be considered a treacherous person?  "

    Ye Bilong, Zhe Erken and Fu Dali were all speechless, and finally understood why Tu Hai, Yue Le and others hated and feared Fatty Lu so much¡ªthis fat man is simply a rascal.  The rascal, the rascal of rascals!  He is ruthless in doing things, and irrational in his words, and he can get three points even if he is unreasonable. We bumped into such an opponent in the negotiation, it is simply bad luck for eight lifetimes!

    "Yi Zhongtang, what Yifeng said is quite right." Hu Guozhu chimed in with a smile: "Yifeng did this because you didn't ask us to keep the terms of the negotiation secret before that. If you made this request at that time, we would not disclose it  negotiating content, then I can assure you that neither I nor my father-in-law, Prince Pingxi, will ever allow Yifeng to do this."

    "That's right." Fang Xueshi said more confidently: "You can't blame Yifeng for this matter, you can only blame Ye Zhongtang yourself. It's because you didn't think carefully and didn't ask for confidentiality, which led to the current result!"

    The guilt of Fatty Lu's shameless behavior was pushed back on his own heads. The veins on the foreheads of Ye Bilong and others felt like they were about to explode. Zhe Erken was so angry that he slapped the table and pointed at the picture of Yue Le proclaiming the emperor.  He shouted: "What about this one? Lu Yifeng, as a minister of the Qing Dynasty, you actually printed and distributed such rebellious leaflets with pictures and texts. Do you have any sense of being a minister?"

    "I really can't blame me for this." Fatty Lu said extremely aggrieved: "Someone from your army asked to do this, because we have something to ask him, so we have to agree."

    "You want to slander Prince An again?" The blood vessels on Zhe Erken's forehead finally exploded, and he shouted: "You want to frame Prince An again and try to usurp the throne? Do you know that this is a case of smuggling the family and killing the whole family?"  Felony?!"

    "Who is slandering Prince An again?" Fatty Lu immediately retorted: "My lord, I mentioned the name of Prince An again.Speed ??up a bit.  Hu Guozhu reminded: "We don't have much time left. Today is September 30th, and the weather is getting colder and colder. If it snows in Wuchang, we will be in big trouble."  "

    Of course, Hu Guozhu's worry is not unreasonable. With the rapid expansion of the Wu army's control area, what is exposed inside the Wu army is not only the shortage of troops, but also the supply of supplies is also a huge problem, especially the cotton-padded clothes and shoes needed for the winter.  , because the main force of the Wu army is advancing so fast, if the already weak Wu army's logistics cannot deliver these things to the city of Wuchang in time, when the heavy snow falls, the old traitor Wu will not even have a place to cry.  So the old traitor Wu quickly nodded and said, "My son-in-law is right. Within ten days, Wuchang City must be taken down, and the city will be hoarded with dogs to solve the winter problem."

    Changing the usual Wu Jun commander's account to discuss the military situation, Fatty Lu, who was afraid that he would not have the opportunity to show his face, was always rushing to express his opinions, but this time it was not the case. The old traitor Wu and Hu Guozhu had obviously shifted the topic to the imminent Wuchang war  Fatty Lu not only didn't rush to express his opinion, but jumped out and cupped his hands and said: "Grandfather, uncle, grandson-in-law is in a hurry, and he wants to go to the factory, please grandfather for approval."

    "Yifeng, what's the matter with you these days?" The old traitor Wu also noticed Fatty Lu's abnormality, and asked suspiciously: "Why do you run to the factory all day long? We can't make cotton explosives here, and make some ladders  For something as simple as a cloud platform, do you need to go there yourself?"

    "Grandfather, please forgive my grandson-in-law for keeping it secret." Fatty Lu replied with a sinister smile: "My grandson-in-law is building some siege weapons that no one could have imagined, and he is going to give grandpa a big surprise when the time comes for the siege."

    "An unexpected siege weapon? What kind of siege weapon?" Old Traitor Wu asked in confusion.  Fatty Lu resolutely kept his mouth shut and refused to answer. The old traitor Wu was quite reasonable in his treatment of his cronies, and laughed and scolded: "Stinky boy, keep it a secret from me? But if you don't want to say it, let it go. Go tinker with it. I hope it will come later."  Time can really surprise Lao Tzu."

    "Thank you, grandfather, for your understanding." Fatty Lu hurriedly cupped his hands to express his thanks, and asked quickly, "By the way, grandfather, where did we dig the siege tunnel?"

    "It's probably only two miles away from the city wall." The old man Wu replied casually.

    "Then when they dig to the edge of the moat, grandfather must send someone to inform grandson-in-law." Fatty Lu said respectfully: "At that time, it will be time for grandson-in-law's siege weapons to take effect."

    "Well, I will remember to tell you when the time comes." The old man Wu said lazily: "But I can warn you, if you make me happy for nothing, don't I withhold your reward. Damn, put  Shang Kexi has caught all the old things, and my headache now is how to reward you, you bastard." (To be continued.

 Chapter 199

    ?

    War is a product of irreconcilable politics. Both sides are unwilling to make compromises, and neither side is willing to make interest concessions at the negotiating table in exchange for the other's generous sympathy. At the same time, neither side believes that the other side will be able to defeat itself.  Under the circumstances of not giving in to each other, both the old traitor Wu's side and the Qing court's side both died of fighting for peace at the negotiating table.  Come around the table and make concessions to your side.  Therefore, the Battle of Wuchang, which decided the two sides' offensive and defensive initiative on the Yangtze River battlefield, was inevitably doomed to start.

    This is an evenly matched battle. Neither side is sure of winning. At the same time, both sides have the hope of winning. The Wu army has certain advantages in terms of military strength, combat effectiveness and weapons, but it does not occupy geographical and logistical advantages, and its weapons are too scientific.  , the field force is strong, but the offensive force is relatively weak; the Qing army is slightly inferior in terms of strength, combat effectiveness and weapons, but it has geographical advantages, logistical advantages, and manpower advantages.  It can bridge the gap between military strength and combat effectiveness.  Each lead the coquettish, each has its own strengths, it is really difficult to distinguish between superior and inferior.

    After another two days of intense preparations, on the afternoon of the third day of October in the 11th year of Kang Mazi, the Wu Jun tunnel was finally dug to the edge of the moat outside the east gate of Wuchang - this is very easy to identify, the moat of Wuchang was built by Wu Jun  If sacks are filled with rocks and soil to fill it up, as long as a large number of sacks are dug, it can be concluded that the moat has been dug.  At the same time, the moat outside the south gate of Wuchang has been basically filled by the Wu army. Although the Wu army paid the precious lives of hundreds of brave soldiers for this, but once the moat is leveled, the Wu army's siege troops can directly attack Wuchang without any barriers.  Under the city, it can be regarded as sharpening the knife and chopping firewood by mistake.

    Seeing that the time was right, the old traitor Wu immediately raised his horn and summoned all the generals to arrange the siege plan.  The horn sounded, and Wu Jun's generals, who were very strict in military law, gathered in the commander's tent in less than half a stick of incense. Fatty Lu, who still had ink spots on his face, also rushed to the commander's tent and stood behind Wu Yingqi, waiting for orders.  When the old traitor Wu saw that all the generals had arrived, he immediately said loudly: "Everyone, I have some good news for you. Our tunnel has already been dug to the edge of the moat at the east gate of Wuchang. In half a day at most, our shovels will be ready to go."  Soldiers can dig tunnels under the city wall of Wuchang, plant explosives to blow up the city, and conquer Wuchang city in one fell swoop!"

    "Good!" Wu Jun's generals cheered in unison, all beaming with joy.  The old traitor Wu shouted again: "This king has now decided that in order to reduce the loss of the siege, our army will attack the city overnight. After the city wall is blown up, our army must occupy the east city of Wuchang within tonight, and then fill the inner city after dawn."  The dog launched a strong attack, all generals, make sure your soldiers take the time to cook and rest, and prepare for the night battle!"

    "I would like to obey the order of the prince!" Wu Jun and all the generals clasped their fists together and agreed.  The old traitor Wu nodded in satisfaction, picked up the command arrow and said loudly: "Now this king is starting to distribute the siege troops, General Zhaowu Ba Yangyuan"

    "Wait a minute." A voice suddenly interrupted old traitor Wu's dispatching of troops, old traitor Wu and everyone looked around in surprise, only to see that the person who interrupted old traitor Wu's order was always obedient and obedient at this moment  Fatty Lu.  Fatty Lu knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Our army's siege tactics are authentic. I'm afraid the enemy will see through them. If we attack the city by force, our army will suffer heavy losses!"

    "How can you see it?" Old Han Wu asked in surprise.

    "I don't know if the prince still remembers? Four days ago, our army's airship once dispatched and flew to Wuchang City to distribute leaflets." Fatty Lu replied in a deep voice: "At that time, the general had told our army's airship army to pay attention to it for the sake of caution.  The abnormal situation in the city turned out to be as it should be, and our airship soldiers discovered that the Mangou garrison was also digging trenches in the east gate of Wuchang City, and at the same time, there were signs of construction by the Mandog garrison in the Wuchang Shuimen area, which seemed to be digging diversion ditches.¡±

    "The general suspects that Mangou may have seen through our army's tunnel siege tactics, and is going to wait until our army's tunnel is dug under the city, then suddenly dig the tunnel, or release poisonous smoke, or flood the river to kill our army's diggers.  , Destroy our army¡¯s tunnels.¡±

    "Then why didn't you say it earlier?" The old traitor Wu's face changed drastically, he threw down the command arrow and slapped the table, and shouted: "Since you found out that something was wrong four days ago, why didn't you report it to the king?"

    "Back to the lord, the last general was not sure at the time, so he didn't dare to report." Fatty Lu replied dejectedly: "However, judging from the situation in the past few days, Man Gou did not try his best to prevent our army from filling up the moat river, which is enough  It proves that nine out of ten out of ten have already discovered our authentic siege tactics, so they resorted to tricks and deliberately allowed our army to fill the river."

    "Bastard! Since you have doubts for a long time, you can just say it directly. Is this old man the kind of person who doesn't listen to advice?"  For small sake, old traitor Wu is simplyThe united Qing army will inevitably suffer heavy losses.  In the end, it was Cai Yurong who suggested again: "Tutang, Lord An, why don't we drive all the people in the east gate to the northwest, and let our reserve team live in private houses. In this way, many unnecessary losses can be reduced." Tu Hai and Yue  Le Yi was very satisfied when he heard it, and immediately acted according to the plan.

    In fact, the Qing army still has a hidden worry, and that is the problem of Wu Jun's airship. Once Wu Jun's airship flies over the east gate of Wuchang City and bombs, the Qing army is already prepared to prevent the tunnel from attacking the city.  s eyes.  But fortunately, it may be blessed by the spirit of the wild boar skin. Today, the north wind in Wuchang City is quite fierce. The wind speed and direction are extremely unsuitable for Wu Jun's airship to dispatch, so Wu Jun has never had a single airship fly into the sky and hide in the city wall.  Naturally, the deep trenches of the Qing army were never noticed by the Wu army.  When the sky was basically completely dark, I began to wait for the main force of the Wu army to attack the city with peace of mind, and then used sufficient defense to prepare for a head-on blow to the Wu army.

    In late autumn, the days are short, and before the three quarters of the unitary hour, the outside of Wuchang, where the north wind howls, is already pitch black, and you can't see your fingers.  Half of the sky was red, and the noise of people shouting and neighing could still be heard clearly six or seven miles away.  At the same time, the long-lost sound of excavation and ground breaking finally sounded in the monitoring water tank buried in Wuchang City. It was obvious that the Wu Army engineers had already started the final sprint excavation toward the east gate of Wuchang.

    "Shovel soldiers, all enter the trenches!" Yue Le, who was in charge of commanding the Qing army's engineers to fight against the Wu army's engineers, ordered sharply, "Two people are in charge of each water tank, and they all listen to the water tanks. If they find the location of the Wugou tunnel, report it immediately.  "

    The engineers of the Qing army obeyed the order, and all jumped into the deep trenches with hoes and shovels in their hands, waiting for orders at any time. The carefully selected soldiers of the Qing army with sensitive ears put their ears on the water tank to listen to the movements of the engineers of the Wu army.  The engineers and soldiers of the Qing army who were in charge of releasing the poisonous smoke also prepared firewood, bellows and kindling, knelt on one knee with their backs against the dead corner of the city wall, and waited calmly for orders.

    "Boom!"

    Just when Xu Shi arrived, the first cannonball of the Wu army's main force to attack Wuchang City finally fired. Amidst the thunder and flames, the first Wu army shell escaped, drew a beautiful parabola in the night sky, and flew towards the city wall of the east gate of Wuchang.  .  Tu Hai, who has rich experience in the battlefield, hurriedly let the troops on the city hide behind the arrow stacks, and used shields to protect the chest, abdomen and face, so as not to be shot by shrapnel.  , It fell directly into the civilian houses where the elite Qing troops were stationed and exploded.

    "No way? Is it a coincidence? Or did Wu Gou expect that we would ambush elite soldiers in the houses near the east gate?" Tu Hai cried out in despair.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of artillery shells fired one after another came, and the largest artillery siege of the Yunnan-Guizhou army since the army began.  (To be continued.

    "Damn it! Gou Wugou! How did you shoot the cannon into the city? Is it a coincidence? Or did Gou Wugou expect that we would deploy heavy troops inside the east gate?"

    Tu Hai, Yue Le, and Tsani and other commanders of the Qing army were stunned and exclaimed, and something happened that stunned them even more.  The air wave was enough to overturn the Qing soldiers twenty or thirty paces away, and the fate of the Qing soldiers near the explosion point was even more predictable¡ªeither they were blown to pieces, their bones were gone, or they were blown up.  He had to fly into the air, fell far away covered in squall blood, and couldn't stand up again once he fell.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of cannonballs came one after another, and one after another, Wu Jun's artillery shells roared, drawing beautiful and terrifying arc tracks in the night sky, like hail and raindrops  Falling down, it hit the city wall of the east gate of Wuchang and the houses of the Qing army and Tibetan soldiers behind the city wall, and the Qing army's journey to hell in Wuchang began.

    The deafening explosion covered up the cries and exclamations of the soldiers and generals of the Qing army, as well as the sound of houses collapsing and collapsing. The shock wave raged in the upper city. In the area covered by the artillery fire of the Wu army, every Qing soldier became a dead man.  The small dice cup kept shaking on the gaming table, and everything was turned upside down. Countless Qing soldiers had their eyebrows broken and their teeth fell out, but unexpectedly none of the Qing soldiers felt pain, because they didn't know that they were in pain.  How many times have I been overturned by Wu Jun's artillery fire, and every time I barely get up, I am immediately overturned and blown down by the air waves. I can only lie on the ground tightly on all fours like mangy dogs, praying desperately.  The ancestors bless, and bless Wu Jun's shells must not hit himself.

    Although lying on the ground can avoid the air waves and shrapnel, it cannot avoid the shock wave brought by the explosion of Nobel Sanhao brand explosives.  Because of the restraint of Sanhao rockets, the mother-child artillery made by Dai Zi for Xiaomazi was captured by the Wu army without much use in the field battle.  The excellent characteristics of the barrel immediately won the unanimous love of Wu Jun from top to bottom. Combined with Wu Jun's advanced gunpowder technology, the two-piece cannon with shells weighing 30 catties immediately became a desperate nightmare for all Qing soldiers.  After the shells were replaced with nitrocellulose or safety explosives, their power could no longer be described as multiplied, but had almost reached the terrifying level of unconscionable cannons.

    In this way, the soldiers and generals of the Qing army who were lying on the ground to avoid the artillery fire were in bad luck, and the internal organs of countless people were shattered by the shock wave transmitted from the ground!  The blood was bleeding from the seven holes, and the death was inexplicable and confused¡ª¡ªWu Gou's shell obviously missed me, why can't I stand up?

    Yue Le jumped into the ditch next to him to avoid the artillery fire, his ears could no longer hear, and his vision became blurred.  It was very difficult to breathe, and he tried to open his mouth, but what he inhaled was full of choking gunpowder smoke.  The hot smoke was scorching between the lungs, as if it was about to explode again in his chest.  Although Wu Jun's shells never hit Yue Le's vicinity, two shells smashed into the trench and exploded one after another, causing the reinforced trench soil to splash and collapse.  They didn't even have a chance to escape, they were blown to pieces, their limbs were mutilated, and then they were buried in the collapsed soil. The trench used to prevent the Wu army's tunnel directly became their grave, and it took less time to bury the corpse.  save.

    Fearing that the trench would collapse and bury himself alive on the ground, Yue Le hurriedly climbed out of the trench with the help of his own soldiers, intending to hide in a blind corner inside the city wall to avoid the artillery fire, but what left Yue Le dumbfounded and heartbroken was that he did not  By the time of one stick of incense, countless houses and civilian houses used for hiding soldiers in the East Gate of Wuchang had collapsed.  The streets of Wuchang covered by artillery fire have completely become a purgatory on earth, so much so that even the Wuchang City Wall, which the Qing army commanders such as Tu Hai and Yue Le are proud of, has been shaken and crumbling under the artillery fire.

    Yue Le took another step, but as soon as he took a step, he felt his legs go weak, dizzy and nauseous, trembling all over, so he fell to his knees and vomited profusely.  The soldiers were loyal and rushed into the artillery fire desperately, and brought Yue Le to a safe place. However, Yue Le not only didn't feel lucky at all, but felt a sense of powerlessness that wanted to cry without tears¡ªthe artillery fire of the Yunnan-Guizhou army was so fierce.  How can we fight against ourselves?

    Facts have proved that whether it is the old traitor Wu or Fatty Lu, they have seriously underestimated the terrifying power of the mother-child cannon combined with three good gunpowder. Even if the Wu army did not change the authentic siege tactics, the Qing army's engineers would not be able to do so with this fierce artillery suppression alone.  If you want to calmly decipher Wu Jun's authentic siege tactics, let alone try to identify the location of Wu Jun amidst the deafening artillery fire.The voice, as well as the desperate screams of the soldiers of the Qing army, "The city wall has collapsed, the city wall has collapsed!"

    "Boom!" A red dot suddenly rose from the dark open space outside the south gate of Wuchang, flew into the night sky, and bloomed a huge beautiful red flower. Almost at the same time, the south of Wuchang City, which was still pitch black just now  On the front, countless torches were ignited in an instant, reflecting the night sky in the south red, and in the middle of the flames, the traitorous Wu Zishuai's flag fluttered in the wind, and on both sides were the troops of the Wu army waiting in full force.  .

    "It's been tricked¡ª!" The old traitor Cai screamed with tears in his voice, "The south gate is the main battlefield, and Wu Gou is trying to attack the south! We've been tricked¡ª!"

    "Boom! Boom!" Two loud bangs sounded again and again under the city wall of the south gate of Wuchang. Amidst the explosion of landslides and ground cracks, the Wuchang city wall, which was made of bricks and rammed earth, vibrated twice in succession as if it had been continuously hammered by giants.  Then the dust was flying, and it collapsed to the ground. The Qing army guards who were too late to evacuate on the city wall had no chance to escape.

    "Decree." The old man Wu was full of vigor, drew his knife and pointed forward, and ordered: "Siege the city!"

    "Boom boom boom!" Three consecutive fireworks rose into the sky and bloomed. Immediately afterwards, the two teams Wu Yingqi and Ma Bao, who were the forwards of the Wu army, roared in unison.  The tide generally rushed towards the gap in the city wall that had been blown down.

    At the same time, two flames suddenly appeared below the city wall of Wuchang, and two loud noises erupted, and the city wall nearly half a mile wide at the place where the flames hit fell to the ground again.  So far, the important town of Wuchang, where the Wu army and the Qing army have repeatedly fought back and forth, has been completely exposed to the mouth of the ferocious Yunnan-Guizhou jackal like a cute little Luoli who stripped off her clothes.

    "Shoot the arrows! Let the arrows go! Shoot! Shoot!" Old Traitor Cai's voice was no longer just crying, but full of crying.

    "Father, let's go! Wu Gou is going to blow up this section of the city wall! Go¡ª!"  Your support is my greatest motivation.) (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com

    (ps: There was a power outage again, friends, please see that pure wolf has been using battery codes to maintain stable updates for several days, and reward the last monthly pass in November and the monthly pass in December to pure  Wolf.)

    At the beginning, when the fire and help signal agreed on the Wuchang South Gate tower, Tu Hai, Yue Le and other Qing army coaches who were struggling under the fierce artillery fire of the Wu army could not believe what they said, thinking that Cai Yurong had sent the wrong signal or made a wrong judgment.  The enemy's situation was wrong-nearly a hundred artillery pieces of the Wu army were raging and roaring here, and the main force of the Wu army was also waiting in line behind the artillery array. How could there be an emergency at the south gate?  Could it be that Cai Yurong's waste has reached the point of no return, and seven or eight thousand troops plus a solid city defense can't stop Wu's partial division from attacking the city?

    The sound of explosions and the sound of the city wall collapsing from the city wall of the south gate, as well as the sudden igniting of torches all over the mountains and plains outside the south gate of Wuchang, finally woke up Tu Hai, Yue Le and others, and they also screamed, "  It's a trick! Wu Gou's main force is in the south, and our side is a feint!"

    "Damn it! Is it a vile idea that that barbarian figured out? Take hundreds of cannons and tunnels to make a feint attack, he is willing to pay the cost!"

    It was too late for the main defenders concentrated at the east gate to wake up. Although the reserve team led by Belle Tsani rushed to the scene to rescue them as quickly as possible, the two teams of the Wu army, Wu Yingqi and Ma Bao, had already recovered from the collapsed city wall.  The two unlucky wretches Wu Yingqi and Ma Bao, who had been scolded countless times by the old man Wu because of the unfavorable siege of the city some time ago, took the opportunity to vent the anger they had received before, and brought the soldiers of the Wu army to meet everyone.  Killing, chopping when encountering the enemy, and constantly throwing nitrocellulose grenades one after another, which made the Qing army guards cry and howl, and also killed the panicked Qing soldiers.  Not to mention blocking the gap, so that Wu Jun's follow-up troops could not enter the city.

    "Brothers, let me kill you!" Wu Yingqi yelled, "Take Wuchang, enjoy yourself in the inner city for three days, rob money, food and wives, kill¡ª!"

    "Brothers, the prince has given an order to take down Wuchang City. Everything in the inner city belongs to us. Kill¡ª!"

    The voice of Ma Bao shouting is even worse than that of Wu Yingqi, and the soldiers of the Wu army behind him are also screaming.  It is constantly retreating towards the inner city of Wuchang, while the Wu army brigade behind is like a flood, pouring into the city along the gap in the city wall, quickly controlling half a block in the south gate of Wuchang, and moving towards the remnants of the Qing Dynasty above the city wall.  The defenders launched a strong attack to establish a solid advance base for the main force of the Wu army to enter the city.

    The Qing army is not a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. After finally recovering from the panic and chaos of the collapse of the city wall, both Cai Yurong and Chani saw a glimmer of hope-although the Wu army blew up two small gaps and one on the Wuchang city wall.  There is a big gap, but there are still not many Wu troops who can quickly enter the city. At the same time, the strength of the Qing army is still there. As long as they can quickly concentrate their forces and drive the Wu army out of the city again, then there is still hope for Wuchang City!

    After discovering this, Cai Yurong and Chani unanimously sent people to ask for help from the main force of the East Gate, and quickly organized a team together to launch a counterattack against the Wu Jun forward.  As a result, the battle inside the South Gate of Wuchang quickly became intense. Soldiers from both sides collided desperately under the light of weak torches and lanterns.  , Every foot and every step has to pay the price of blood to fight for it. Although Wu Jun has psychological and weapon advantages, he is still making slow progress in front of the red-eyed resisting Qing army, and he has never been able to further expand the controlled area.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" In order to disperse the enemy's resistance troops as soon as possible, Wu Yingqi had a rare brainstorm and gathered the grenades in the team and threw them together. Amid the continuous explosions, half of the Qing soldiers on the street were almost killed  After sweeping away, Wu Jun took the opportunity to charge forward, and Cai Yurong, the old traitor Cai Yurong who was in command behind him, his eyes were red, and he yelled frantically: "Brothers, the city is alive, and the city is dead! Let me go!" The Qing army led by Cai Lin  The army elites agreed in unison, shouted and rushed up again, entangled with Wu Jun's charge team again.

    In the dark night, the streets and houses near the south gate of Wuchang completely turned into a Shura battlefield. The Wu army with high morale rushed and fought fiercely. The Qing army who was familiar with the terrain and had a superior number resisted desperately, and gradually competed with the Wu army for the control area inch by inch.  , The sounds of shouts, screams, and sword collisions merged into one, and the sound spread all over the field, enough for the whole city of Wuchang to hear clearly.  In order to move forward, soldiers of the Wu army had to kill two to three enemies before they could step forward. However, the soldiers of the Wu army had to sacrifice at least one or two soldiers' precious lives. The houses and streets ignited by torches were raging, and the streets were almost completely  bloodyGrandson, unconditionally hand over the whole family of the murderer who killed our Pingxi Prince's son.  "

    "In addition, we now have another new condition, that is, all the troops in Wuchang City lay down their weapons and live in our prisoner-of-war camp with the bannermen in Wuchang's inner city.  Release. Of course, we will do our best to ensure the safety of the prisoners."

    "It's impossible!" Ye Bilong jumped up, and said with a pale face: "It is absolutely impossible for the army in Wuchang to lay down their weapons, and it is impossible for us to pay so much money and food for the army.  The yearly revenue of the imperial court is only over 20 million taels, where can I find 35 million taels of silver to give to you? There is also grain and grass, three million shi of grain, that is the grain we transported by water for a year in the Qing Dynasty!"

    "Yi Zhongtang, I didn't ask you to pay so much all at once." Fatty Lu said with a smile, "You can pay in installments, 80% of it first, and the remaining 20% ??can be paid next year."

    "Furthermore." Fatty Lu couldn't help gritting his teeth and added, "The price we asked for is also very generous, at least, we didn't ask you for military compensation of 40 million taels or 450 million taels of silver, right?  Didn't you ask you to dedicate the whole of Siberia?"

    Ye Bilong's face became even paler, and he sat down slowly. After bowing his head and thinking for a long time, Ye Bilong said tremblingly: "General Jinwu, military pay and food can be discussed, and the provinces that Prince Pingxi also manages can also be discussed, but we  The army must not lay down their weapons, and Huguang must not let the prince take care of it."

    "The old man proposes that with the boundary of Wuchang Mansion as the border, Pianyuan in the south can be managed by Prince Pingxi, but your army must immediately stop attacking and withdraw from Wuchang Mansion! As long as your army agrees, you can negotiate about military pay and food!  "

    "Absolutely not! We don't want to sleep in Pianyuan without daring to close our eyes." Hu Guozhu is not like his father-in-law, old man Wu, who is short-sighted in strategy, and resolutely shook his head: "We can give up the state capital north of Wuchang, but  The army and bannermen surrounded by us in Wuchang Mansion and Wuchang City must surrender, and you will release them to cross the river after you hand over the military pay and food you promised to us."

    "This is also our bottom line, please stop haggling!"

    "This" Ye Bilong covered his face with his hands, climbed on the table and thought for a long time, but finally he still couldn't make up his mind, he just said hesitantly: "Please allow me to think about it again."

    "Then Ye Zhongtang, please think carefully. After Ye Zhongtang has considered it, you can ask us to re-negotiate at any time. We are waiting for you at any time." Hu Guozhu nodded, and pointed to the direction of Wuchang City in the northeast, which was full of murder, and said with a smile: "But  I have to remind Ye Zhongtang, now in Wuchang City, soldiers of your army are dying on the battlefield every moment, if Ye Zhongtang thinks about it for too long, the casualties of your soldiers may not be a small number  .¡±

    Ye Bilong didn't speak, but closed his eyes and calculated nervously. Fatty Lu smiled again and said, "Yi Zhongtang, by the way, if your army wants to escape by water, don't even think about it. Our airship is already loading.  The ammunition is ready to go, and when it dawns, our airship flies to the pier, and a few cluster bombs are thrown down, the casualties of your army will not be ordinary."

    Ye Bilong opened his eyes suddenly, glared at Fatty Lu resentfully, then turned to Hu Guozhu and asked, "General Jinwu, I have a personal question, I hope General Jinwu can answer it truthfully."

    Hu Guozhu nodded, and Ye Bilong then asked: "May I ask General Jinwu, who came up with your army's wonderful siege tactic yesterday evening? I am very interested and would like to know about this expert's strategy."  name."

    "It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of us." Hu Guozhu smiled, pointed at Fatty Lu casually, and said with a smile, "That's him."

    "What?" Ye Bilong, Zhe Erken and the others all jumped up, staring at Fatty Lu dumbfounded, they couldn't think of anything, the fat man with a deer head and mouse eyes and mean eyes was actually the chief culprit of Wu Jun's attack on Wuchang City.  The culprit is evil!

    "Yi Zhongtang, don't blame me." Fatty Lu said with a wry smile, "Just like what a person from the Pingnan Palace I captured said, everyone is their own master."

    "Sure enough, a hero born a boy." Ye Bilong sat down weakly, as if he had suddenly aged ten years, and murmured to himself: "You have modified the tactic of attacking the city pioneered by the great ancestor of the Qing Dynasty.  Come to attack our important town in the Qing Dynasty, the great grandfather knows about it, what kind of reaction will he have?" (To be continued.

 Chapter 202 The Battle of Wuchang (Part 2)

    ?

    (ps: There are only a few hours left in November, ask for the last monthly pass in November, and book the December monthly pass and tip by the way.)

    One night of siege and another night of bloody battles, when the sky was already dawn, the bloody street fighting in Wuchang City continued, in order to buy time for the mite masters and wives in the inner city to board the ship and escape, and also to buy time for ourselves to board the ship and escape  Now that the Wu army has already occupied the southern city of Wuchang, and Wuchang is doomed to fail, Tuhai, Yue Le, and Cai Yurong, commanders of the Qing army, had no choice but to use their last elites to fight the trapped beasts with the Wu army, to consume blood, and imagine that they could temporarily defeat the enemy.  Retiring the Wu army's attack temporarily delayed the advance speed of the Wu army, buying precious time for crossing the river and fleeing for their lives.

    This battle is not so much the last battle of the Wu army to recover Huaxia Jingnan, but rather the first decisive battle between the Wu army and the Qing army in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in the second stage of the see-saw battle.  The tactical initiative, no matter how much the Yunnan-Guizhou army spent, vowed to take down the important town of Wuchang and wipe out the elite main force of the Qing army as much as possible, thus establishing an advantage in the strategic stalemate stage.  And when the Qing army was doomed to be in danger in Wuchang, its tactical purpose was to retreat in Wuchang, bring the last elite of the Qing army back to the north of the Yangtze River, and bring the backbone and core of the invaders, the Eight Banners masters.  Go to the north of the Yangtze River to preserve the seeds and vitality for future wars.

    With a desperate attack on the one hand and a desperate defense on the other, this battle is destined to be extremely cruel and bloody.  The streets and alleys are full of soldiers from both sides fighting each other. The streets and alleys are full of corpses and blood flow. In order to fight for an alley that can lead to the main road, the armies of both sides usually have to pay the lives of hundreds of soldiers.  , In order to compete for a street that can lead to the inner city or to the dock, the two sides put battalions of troops into the battlefield one after another, slashing and consuming the narrow streets frantically.

    I have to admit that at the critical moment of life and death, the Qing army, whether it was the authentic mite soldiers or the traitors and puppet soldiers, showed a very high level of perseverance and high-spirited fighting spirit, fighting against the Wu army's attack.  Don¡¯t let it go, there are endless Qing army soldiers who hugged and bit Wu soldiers and died together, and they can be seen everywhere; there are also a considerable number of mite people in the inner city of Wuchang, who did not flee to the pier, but chose to take up arms and fight side by side with the Qing soldiers  , middle-aged men and women rushed into the battlefield, the elderly and children shouted and cheered, and desperately resisted the progress of the Wu army. The Wu army, who had both strength and combat effectiveness, rushed desperately all night, but they never reached the gate of Wuchang's inner city.

    The Qing army was strong and brave, and the Wu army was not far behind. Affected by the production speed and logistical supplies, after the sharp weapons and grenades in street warfare were basically used up, the soldiers of the Wu army did not hesitate to pick up the original knives, guns and spears, and rushed into bloody battles one after another.  The battlefield, entering the streets and alleys that I am not familiar with, fighting to the death with the soldiers of the Qing army entrenched there, desperately consuming the last elite main force of the Qing army, half of the outer city of Wuchang has completely become a huge  On the Asura battlefield, flames shot up to the sky everywhere, the sound of killing was like thunder, blood and flesh rushed everywhere, and corpses littered the field everywhere.

    Relying on the desperate resistance of the Qing army, Tu Hai, Yue Le and others finally ensured that the two water gates of Wuchang West Gate and North Gate will not be affected by the flames of war for the time being.  Yang Jie, the commander of the Yangtze River Navy of the Qing Army stationed in Hanyang, dispatched more than 500 large and small warships, as well as thousands of civilian ships temporarily collected by the Qing Army.  However, the wharf is too small and there are too many people fleeing for their lives. There are less than 20 ships that can be loaded each time.  Trampled on each other, countless dead, and loud cries and shouts, the Qing navy sailors, not to mention maintaining the order of boarding, just wanting not to be squeezed into the river, not to be trampled to death and trampled to death, is already an extremely difficult task.

    "Mom! Mother! Help!" The ugly mite shouts rang out, and on the Yangtze River, another Qing army warship was sunk by too many civilians, the river surged into the warehouse, and the Qing soldiers on the deck  He and the mite people jumped into the river crying and shouting, crying for help in the cold river water, and the soldiers and people in the cabin cried even more violently.  The area was crowded and tugged, and the number of people who were able to escape from the cabin was actually pitifully small. Most of the Qing soldiers and civilians in the cabin still sank slowly into the river with the warship and disappeared into the depths of the choppy river.

    "Maintain order, maintain order! Each ship must not be doubled in capacity, and if anyone scrambles to get on board, no matter who it is, shoot and kill!"

    Seeing this scene, Prince Miqing Yue Le, who was in charge of commanding the military and civilians to retreat by boat, couldn't help crying, and shouted orders in a crying voice, asking the army to restrict the boarding order, but more than 100,000 people had accumulated on the two docks in the north and south of Wuchang.  The soldiers and civilians of YueYinyin said: "Ye Zhongtang must really want to know, how did our Pingxi Palace get such a thing? The officials dare not lie, this is dedicated to our prince by the envoy of Zheng Ni from Taiwan. The only condition is that we hope that Pingxi  The prince played the banner of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, and joined forces with them to deal with the Qing court."

    "Yi Zhongtang, do you want our prince Pingxi to continue to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty? Or do you want our prince to be forced to rebel? Please think about it. Although our prince is loyal to the Qing Dynasty, if Ye Zhongtang insists on fooling and playing  Our prince, our prince will not be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered."

    Ye Bilong and the others looked pale, and after bowing their heads for a long time, Ye Bilong turned to Hu Guozhu, and said weakly: "General Jinwu, the issue of military pay, rations and prisoners' ransom is up to you, but we have to give us some time to prepare, two  Within a month, our Qing court will pay half of it first, and we will pay the remaining half within next year. In addition, I have to implore your army to agree to stop the attack immediately and let us cross the river."

    "Absolutely not!" Hu Guozhu replied resolutely: "Your army must lay down their weapons and surrender on the spot. They will not be released until you pay the military salary, food and grass, and the ransom of the prisoners of war! In addition, within this year, the military salary, food and grass, and prisoners of war will not be released."  You must pay 70% of the ransom!"

    "We can pay 70% of the military salary, food and prisoners' ransom within this year." E Bilong said anxiously: "But your army must stop attacking and let our soldiers and civilians cross the river!"

    "No!" Hu Guozhu shook his head firmly, "You must put down your weapons and surrender immediately, we guarantee the safety of the prisoners of war!"

    "I can't do this." Ye Bilong said with a sad face: "This old man is just negotiating with the imperial envoys, not the commander of the army. He has no right to order them to put down their weapons and surrender."

    "Then Ye Zhongtang can go back and discuss with Tutang and Lord An." Hu Guozhu folded his arms and said with a smile on his face: "It's the same sentence, even during the war, the gate of our Pingxi Palace to negotiate an armistice is still open to Ye Zhongtang.  Open up, when Ye Zhongtang has figured it out, come to negotiate with us again."

    Ye Bilong was dejected and speechless, his already wrinkled face was even older, and tears were rolling in his cloudy old eyes, and Zheerken and Fu Dali were also in tears, their expressions were devastated, as if they had already lost their souls.  Seeing this scene, Fatty Lu, who hates dogs so much that he hates his eggs so badly, has a rare conscience, and he couldn't help persuading him: "Yi Zhongtang, two adults, you really shouldn't do this, in fact, there is another way, as long as you support Ann  If the lord ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, and the Yuan Dynasty is changed to Yongzheng, then our Pingxi Palace will definitely support you with all our strength, and you don¡¯t have to worry about not being able to explain to Kangxi when you go back.¡±

    Ye Bilong raised his head suddenly, staring at Fatty Lu with resentment in his eyes, his expression was so fierce that he wanted to swallow Fatty Lu alive, Fatty Lu smiled all over his face and said, "Yi Zhongtang, you don't have to look at this official like that.  Well, in fact, it was for the good of the Qing court that Prince An was old and virtuous, diligent and caring for the people.  "

    "Say one more thing!" Ye Bilong suddenly cried hoarsely, "I just bumped my head to death in front of you, even if I die, I won't let your diatribe scheme succeed!"

    "Okay, okay. Yifeng, don't talk about it." Hu Guozhu was also afraid that Fatty Lu would really kill Ye Bilong, so he quickly pulled Fatty Lu back with a smile, pointed to Wuchang City in the north, and said very kindly  : "Yi Zhongtang, look, your north gate pier is on fire, if you don't go back to Ye Zhongtang, I'm afraid you won't even have a direction to dock your boat."

    Ye Bilong quickly turned his head to look to the north, and saw that the area around the water gate to the west of Wuchang City was burning with flames and thick smoke billowing, and it was indeed burning.  The loud cries of the common people can be heard clearly even here.  Seeing this situation, Ye Bilong was even more helpless, so he had no choice but to reply: "Thank you General Jinwu for your guidance, I will go back to the city to contact Tutang and Prince An."

    "But the old man still said the same thing." Ye Bilong paused, and said very seriously: "If Prince Pingxi and General Jin Wu don't want the military salary, food and ransom promised by the old man to fail, please don't open it to us Eight Banners people.  Kill ring, please give us some time to discuss and discuss."

    "That's good." Hu Guozhu was also very straightforward, and replied: "As long as your army gives up breaking through and retreats to the inner city, then our army will give your army two hours to discuss. Within two hours, our army will never attack the inner city."  City!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 203 The Battle of Wuchang (Part 2)

    ?

    (ps: It¡¯s December, please ask for a monthly pass for December. In addition, let¡¯s explain tomorrow¡¯s update. Tomorrow, Pure Wolf has a friend and old classmate who is engaged, so I have to accompany him on a trip to drink with his natal family  Fighting wine, so tomorrow's update, Pure Wolf, can only say its best. If you really can't make it out, please forgive me, it's really hard to refuse.)

    In the fourth armistice negotiation, Ye Bilong, the Qing negotiator and imperial envoy who had no bargaining chips in his hand, refused to agree to Wu Jun's harsh conditions.  I can't be the master of Tuhai and Yue Le, and I can't represent them agreeing that the Qing army in Wuchang will lay down all their weapons and surrender to the Wu army, waiting for the silver grain and grass from the Qing court to redeem them back to Jiangbei to reunite with their families.  So there was no way, even if Ye Bilong was already tempted, considering the future of the Qing Dynasty court, he had no choice but to return to Wuchang to discuss with Tu Hai, Yue Le and others whether to accept Wu Jun's condition.

    Of course, as the last general of the Qing Dynasty¡¯s old generation, although Ye Bilong¡¯s personality is quite weak, and he is afraid of taking responsibility and even more afraid of being blamed, but Ye Bilong still has the last ray of hope in his heart, that is, the expectation and hope that a miracle will appear  The Qing army in Wuchang was able to block the Wu army in the street fighting and even severely injured the Wu army, forcing the Wu army to take the initiative to let the Qing army and the Qingqi people in Wuchang city cross the river. Although this hope is slim, it is not hopeless.  After all, the strength of the Qing army in Wuchang was as large as 60,000, and the advantage of the Wu army in terms of strength was not obvious. Moreover, it was difficult for the Wu army to fully utilize its strength in the street battlefield.

    What completely shattered Ye Bilong's hope was the chaotic state at Wuchang Wharf. When the warship that Ye Bilong and others took returned to Shuimen Wharf in the west of Wuchang, his warship could no longer berth.  It has been occupied by the overwhelming Wu army soldiers. Although the northern part is still in the hands of the Qing army, the Qing army generals and soldiers on the pier and on the shore obviously have no desire to fight, and they are just desperately rushing to board the ship.  The reason why the Wu army was unable to quickly occupy all the docks was not because of the resistance of the soldiers of the Qing army, but because they were blocked by the crowd of ordinary people as dense as the tide.

    In order to get on the ship and escape as soon as possible, the generals and soldiers of the Qing army either dived into the water and swam onto the warship, or slashed and killed their companions and civilians who robbed the springboard.  Throw it upside down into the river, or push it into the river alive!  Crying and shouting for help on the pier on the river shook the heavens, the heads of people on the pier were like ants, the living and dead were floating in the river, black smoke billowed from the warships hit by Wu Jun¡¯s incendiary bombs, the chaos was like a boiling pot  rice porridge.  As for the Daqing Baylor Zhani who was in charge of commanding the garrison at Ximen Wharf, he didn't even know where he disappeared, and he didn't know whether he died in battle or had already boarded a boat and fled for his life.

    Seeing such a scene, Ye Bilong, who could barely be regarded as a good conscience, couldn't help but burst into tears, choked up, and yelled, "Tuhai, a national traitor! A national traitor! This is all caused by you, a national traitor. If you don't stop  The common people cross the river ahead of time, don¡¯t spread rumors that Wu Gou will slaughter the city after it breaks the city, will this happen? A national thief, a national thief, you deserve death!"

    The problem of the docking of the Yebilong warship was finally resolved with the help of the soldiers of the Wu army. After Zheerken held a pure white flag and took a small boat to the shore to explain the situation to the Wu army, Wu Yingjing, who was commanding the Wu army to fight on the Ximen pier, was very surprised.  He readily agreed to Ye Bilong's request, and let Ye Bilong and others take twenty entourages to land in a small boat, and sent a small team to escort Ye Bilong and others into the water gate, and let Ye Bilong and others fight against the water gate.  Bai Qi went to the inner city and the north gate to find Tu Hai, Yue Le and other Qing army commanders to discuss surrender matters.

    At this moment, the chaos in Wuchang City is worse than that of the wharf. The fleeing civilians and the warring armies blocked the streets and alleys.  Crying and crying for help came one after another, corpses were strewn everywhere on the ground, blood stained the canal red and overflowed, the houses on both sides of the street were ablaze, black smoke billowed into the sky, and old people and children cried for help from time to time in the sea of ??fire  The sound and the sound of smashing boxes and boxes, but no one rushed into the flames to save people, and no one stopped the robbery.  On the contrary, it was Tuhai's direct army that robbed, murdered, and raped the most.

    If it weren't for the desperate protection of Ye Bilong's entourage, and Zheerken and others showing the banner of imperial envoy in time, Ye Bilong would definitely never have the chance to return to the negotiating table¡ªa Qing army battalion defeated by the Wu army took a fancy to Ye Bilong.  The luxurious clothes worn by Bilong and others planned to kill Ye Bilong and others to steal the clothes.  After revealing his identity in time to stop the defeated Qing army, Ye Bilong didn't bother to pay attention to their military discipline any more, he just asked them about the whereabouts of Tuhai's Chinese army, but the defeated Qing army told Ye Bilong that they had to wait until dawn.  , They never saw Tuhai's flag and team again.He lowered his weapon and surrendered to Pingxi Palace.  Tell them, and tell the Manchu and Han people in Wuchang that the imperial envoy has already negotiated with Pingxi Wangfu. After the surrender, there will be no massacre of the city, and there will be no killing of prisoners.  The old man, guarantee them with the head of the item.  "

    In the afternoon of the fourth day of October in the 11th year of Kangmazi in the Qing Dynasty, after receiving the promise of never killing prisoners and never massacring the city from the Yunnan-Guizhou army, Ye Bilong, the grand master of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial envoy of the Armistice Negotiations and the interim coach of the Wuchang Qing army, issued an order to lead the entire army  The army and civilians of the city surrendered to the Yunnan-Guizhou army, and the Wuchang battle, which lasted for more than a month, finally ended with the Yunnan-Guizhou army winning a complete victory.

    So far, although the Yunnan-Guizhou army, which is exhausted from top to bottom, has no spare power to expand its control area, the Jinghu line of defense that Xiao Mazi used to prevent the Yunnan-Guizhou army from going north has been actually broken by the Yunnan-Guizhou army. The strategic and tactical initiative of the Jinghu battlefield has finally come.  It fell into the hands of the Yunnan-Guizhou army.  Hunan, the new rear of the Yunnan-Guizhou army, has finally won a valuable strategic buffer zone!

    In the evening of the same day, E Bilong signed his name on the armistice treaty. In exchange for the Wu army's immediate truce, the stop of the northward march and the release of prisoners of war, the Qing court promised to put Sichuan, Guangxi, Pianyuan, and Huguang Wuchang mansions under the concurrent management of the Pingxi palace.  , The military, personnel, and civil affairs are all managed by the Pingxi Palace. The Qing court only has the right to approve and appoint, and has no veto power.  At the same time, the Qing court compensated the Pingxi Palace with 30 million taels of military expenses, 5 million taels of grain and grass, and 5 million taels of ransom for the prisoners of war.

    "The ancestors of the Qing Dynasty! The ancestors of the Qing Dynasty! The ancestors of the Qing Dynasty¡ª¡ª!"

    After signing his name on the first treaty of humiliating rights and humiliating the Qing Dynasty, which was more than 20 years ahead of schedule, Ye Bilong threw down the brush, cried three times, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground fainted on the spot.

    "Poor old guy, Xiao Mazi made it clear that he was letting you take the blame, so you can ask for more blessings." After looking sympathetically at Ye Bilong who fell to the ground and passed out, Fatty Lu gritted his teeth in his heart.  He said: "Kang Mazi, just wait! In order not to let you guys sign more after a hundred years, I swear that in the future, I will let you sign more such treaties!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 204 Taiwan's Envoy

    ?

    After the battle of Wuchang was finally settled, although the Yunnan-Guizhou army had won a great victory, its strength was at the end of its strength. Although it knew that the elite main force of the Qing army had been completely lost, it also knew that the Qing army in several major provinces in the Central Plains  The military strength is already extremely empty, but the Yunnan-Guizhou army is unable to use any strength to expand the results of the war, and it also has to use all the strength to occupy other provinces.

    There is no way, the Yunnan-Guizhou army is really too tired. In four months, the main force plus the auxiliary army has a total of only a few hundred thousand Yunnan-Guizhou troops, and they have conquered such a huge territory as Pianyuan, Guangxi, Sichuan and some Huguang in one go.  Whether it is the speed of advancement or the speed of expansion, it has far exceeded the speed of advancement and expansion of the Mite Qing army after it entered the customs.  Unstable, every problem needs time to adjust, deploy and correct.

    Under such circumstances, even the generals of the Yunnan-Guizhou army, no matter how optimistic or greedy they were, would not have the guts to shout to continue the attack.  Especially when the construction of the navy has just started and the supply of firearms is cut off, even Lu Fatty, who has always been arrogant and bold, really has no energy to shout the slogan of launching another large-scale attack.  So there was no other way, the Yunnan-Guizhou army had no choice but to obediently fulfill the armistice agreement, stop to bandage the wound, recuperate, and wait for the vitality to recover before considering the next expansion plan.  The top management of the Pingxi Palace can only turn their attention to the internal and political levels of the army, and start to solve their own internal and external problems.

    Wu Jun currently has a lot of small internal problems, but there are two major problems. One is how to effectively control the suddenly expanded control territory several times, and the other is how to quickly restore and improve the overall strength of Wu Jun to make up for the shortcomings of the navy.

    ?The first internal affairs issue is very difficult. As we all know, the old traitor Wu uses the family power of his nephew and son-in-law to rule the army.  But in terms of the civil service system, this method does not work. When he was still in Yunnan and Guizhou, the old traitor Wu often felt deeply troubled by the lack of civil officials, even if he chose to use civilian talents in an eclectic manner.  However, it is still not enough for use¡ªthe failed scholar Fatty Lu is the beneficiary of the old traitor Wu's policy. Now the Wu army's territory has suddenly expanded several times, and the problem of insufficient civilian officials is naturally becoming more and more obvious, which seriously restricts and restricts the overall development of the Pingxi Palace.  develop.

    Fortunately, no matter what era it is, there will never be a shortage of backup candidates for officials and civil servants. After occupying Wuchang Mansion and northern Hunan, which are known to be talented only in Chu, the traitor Wu will not force local officials in Yunnan and Guizhou to choose  After hearing the advice of Hu Guozhu and Fatty Lu, the list of talents promulgated was posted in Wuchang City and Changsha City. Scholars in these two cities immediately flocked to the temporary Xingyuan of the old traitor Wu and the Changsha Governor's Mansion. Mao then recommended himself and expressed his willingness.  He worked for the old traitor Wu, among whom there were some well-known famous literati, and the old traitor Wu would not refuse anyone, as long as he had a little bit of talent and scholars, he would be appointed to an official position, sent to the local government to manage the people and monitor the demoted officials.

    Qu Dajun, a famous anti-Qing literati, was known as one of the three great masters in Lingnan. Hearing about Wu Jun¡¯s Lianzhan Lianjie, he felt that Wu¡¯s traitor might be the best hope of fighting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, so he resolutely bid farewell to his wife.  My sons and daughters and my Wanguan family fortune in Panyu, Guangdong, came to Guangxi alone to apply for a job with Wu Shizong, expressing their willingness to work for Wu Jun.  After Wu Shizongfei reported to Old Traitor Wu, Traitor Wu immediately awarded Qu Dadu as the Inspectorate of Guangxi, and took office directly with the third rank.  Qu Dawei was directly awarded the governor of Guangxi.  After the news spread, famous people in Lingnan began to think about their own future, and countless people were eager to try.

    As a semi-talented scholar and the only firearms expert in the Wu army, Fatty Lu did not participate too much in resolving the internal affairs of the Wu army. He only suggested how to select and appoint civilian talents in front of the old traitor Wu, and focused on the military and firearms  camp relocation.  After personally inspecting the site, Fatty Lu suggested that Wu Jun¡¯s new firearms camp should be established in Jijia Mountain, Ningxiang County, Changsha Prefecture, because it is not only close to Wujiang River and Pianyuan Official Road, with convenient water and land transportation, but also has three large-scale production in Ningxiang.  Coal mines can provide the necessary coke fuel for the production of firearms casting.

    After Fatty Lu's proposal was reported to Old Traitor Wu for approval, Fang Guangchen, who had been appointed governor of Pianyuan, immediately sent a large army of artisans to start construction, freeing up space to build warehouses, and prepared to hoard all kinds of firearms camps in Yunnan that had already been demolished and moved northward.  After Lu Fatzi led the local craftsmen to imitate the mother-child cannon, he hastily left the work of building a firearms camp to Fang Guangchen, and returned to Wuchang with a list of urgently needed raw materials to pester old traitor Wu and make old traitor Wu  try to solveHu Guozhu did not speak, but Hu Guozhu echoed: "Father-in-law, Yifeng's words are reasonable, and my son-in-law and Mr. Liangchen also think so. Zheng Jing is reliable and unreliable. Just keep in touch and make use of him a little, but you must not treat him  High hopes."

    "Then in your opinion, how should I reply to the Taiwanese envoy?" Old Traitor Wu asked thoughtfully.

    "Temporary refusal, keep in touch." Wang Shirong was the first to answer: "Confess to them the reason, our Yunnan-Guizhou army is very tired now, we have not gained a firm foothold in the newly occupied land, and at the same time, the food and grass promised by Mangou have not yet arrived in Huguang.  It is really inconvenient to openly form an alliance with them, and directly play the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming, asking them to wait at ease, and when the time is right, we will naturally live up to their expectations."

    "I want them to show their sincerity in forming an alliance." Hu Guozhu suggested: "One is to provide us with a group of water fighters to help us train the navy. The other is to help us build the Lianzhou seaport, guard our sea routes, and ensure our  sea ??traffic safety.¡±

    The old traitor Wu was very satisfied when he heard it, he nodded again and again, and then turned his eyes to his very insightful grandson-in-law.  Fatty Lu replied: "Strengthen their courage, strengthen their physique, and their ambitions, let them restrain the power of the dogs on a larger scale, and buy time for my Pingxi Palace to recuperate."

    "How can you build up your courage, build up your physique, and build up your ambition?" Old Traitor Wu asked.

    "Sell them a batch of our new firearms." Fatty Lu replied in a deep voice: "The most important thing about our new firearms is the formula of new explosives. Even if Zheng Jing got such a weapon, he couldn't imitate it.  By constantly buying and exchanging with our army, our army can not only make huge profits, but also obtain all kinds of scarce materials from them, and it can further prove the sincerity of our army's alliance with the Yanping Palace, which is the best of all three. And Zheng Jing  After getting these firearms to increase your strength, can you still be willing to live on a small island in the sea?"

    "At that time, Zheng Jing's navy will be even more powerful, and will naturally pose a huge threat to Mangou's coastal defense, forcing Mangou to invest a lot of power in coastal defense to reduce the frontal pressure on our army. After Zheng Jing's power has developed to a certain extent, I am afraid  Without the order from his grandfather, Zheng Jing would probably have the idea of ??cutting off the water transportation of Mangou or surprise attacking the throat of Mangou Gyeonggi, so wouldn't it be more beneficial to our army?"

    "Wonderful!" Hu Guozhu slapped his thigh and said happily: "Father-in-law, Yifeng's idea is great. Our firearm Zheng Jing cannot be imitated, so naturally there is no need to worry about Zheng Jing turning against us, and we sell firearms. Not only can we  Gaining huge profits can also serve the purpose of indirectly manipulating Zheng Jinghe and indirectly weakening Man Gou! It can serve multiple purposes, and my son-in-law thinks this plan is feasible!"

    "For Geng Jingzhong in Fujian and Shang Zhixin in Guangdong, we can do the same!" Wang Shirong said darkly: "The ambition of Geng Jingzhong and Shang Zhixin is not inferior to Zheng Jing, and the financial strength is even higher than that of Zheng Jing. We openly sell new firearms to them.  Can they not flock to it? Can't they take out countless gold, silver and jewels to increase our financial resources and strengthen their strength? When their strength soars, can they still obediently submit to Mangou?"

    "Since you all agree to do this, let's do it this way." Old man Wu smiled treacherously, then turned to Fatty Lu and said, "Give you a chance to sell favors, you bastard, go see Chen Yonghua, and say that the king is on your side  After persuasion, I decided to provide strong assistance for their great cause of anti-Qing and Fuming! Strong assistance!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

 Chapter 205 Xiao Mazi who endured the humiliation

    ?

    "Wu Sangui, old thief! Shameless old thief!"

    "Lu Yifeng, dog thief! Despicable dog thief¡ª!"

    "Yebilong! Tuhai! Yue Le! Zani! Stupid thief! Trash! Stupid! National traitor! Traitor¡ª¡ª!"

    ? To be able to utter such a hoarse shout and roar, in this era, there must be nothing but pockmarked emperor Kangxi Kangxi.  And what made Kang Xiaomazi roar so angrily was naturally the reason why the latest battle report on the Yangtze River defense line was sent to the capital together with the peace treaty signed by Ye Bilong.

    However, we can't completely blame our pockmarked Emperor Kang Xiaopock for his lack of tolerance and heart. The main reason is that the old traitor Wu is too bullying, Fatty Lu is too good at harming people, and the frontline coaches of the Qing army such as Tuhai and Yue Le are too much.  Useless, and Ye Bilong, the full-power negotiator sent by Xiao Mazi, is too incompetent. The degree of his uselessness and incompetence can not only be described as deeply disappointing, but purely cheating and harming others!

    Previously, Xiao Mazi and the old hag of Xiaozhuang had great expectations for this truce, because just a month ago, Xiao Mazi, who was basically used to receiving bad news, suddenly received several good news one after another.  The report said that the Wuchang Qing army, Lai Xiaomazi Hongfu, defeated the army of Wu Yingqi, the second son of the traitor Wu, several times in succession.  The rebellious army is invincible, Xiao Mazi's grand strategic goal of restricting the activities of Wu's rebellious army to the territory of Pianyuan is just around the corner!

    For the successive loss of most of the main elites within three months and the successive loss of Xiao Mazi and the Qing court in Sichuan and Pianyuan, the several victory memorials of the Qing army in Wuchang are no different from a shot in the arm.  The rain of life-saving has greatly stabilized the situation of the Qing Dynasty, which was already in jeopardy after the turmoil. Even the long-lost voice of singing praises began to reverberate in the Forbidden City where the Qing Dynasty was entrenched.  And Xiao Mazi and the old witch of Xiaozhuang also began to fantasize about whether they could exchange for a truce with a smaller price, rescue the prince Baylor of the Qing Dynasty who was captured by the Wu army, and buy time to prepare for a full-scale counterattack?

    Immediately afterwards, the news that Zhou Bangning and Jueluo Zhuman's support troops arrived on the battlefield in time to further strengthen the Qing Dynasty's Yangtze River defense line inevitably made Xiao Mazi, Xiaozhuang and the important officials of the Qing court full of confidence in negotiating peace, and refused to negotiate to directly wipe out the  Wu Gou's arrogant voice also began to appear in the early court when Xiao Mazi finally took over the power.  In this regard, Xiao Mazi, who is somewhat self-aware, did not dare to dream, but he was also full of extreme expectations. He hoped that the Qing army in Wuchang, which had the right time, place and people, would teach old traitor Wu a lesson on the battlefield and force old traitor Wu to fight against the enemy.  Make bigger concessions at the negotiating table.

    The first blow to Xiao Mazi in the dream is our Fatty Lu Sanhao, Prince Pingnan's son Shang Zhixin played the report for six hundred miles, Wu Ni, Wu Shizong and Fatty Lu joined forces, and they swept away in just over a month.  Throughout Guangxi, Ma Xiongzhen, the governor of Guangxi, died for his country, Ma Xiong, the admiral of Guangxi, was forced to surrender, General Sun Yanling of Guangxi led his army to surrender to the Wu army, Geng Juzhong, the second prince of the Jingnan Palace, led his army to surrender to the Wu army, Shang Zhixiao, the second prince of the Pingnan Palace, led his army to surrender to the Wu army, Guangxi  The whole territory fell into the hands of Wu Jun!

    What made Xiao Mazi, Xiaozhuang, and the Qing court even more dumbfounded and unbelievable was that King Pingnan, who was loyal to the Qing court, Shang Kexi, personally led the 40,000 main force of the Qing army from Guangdong into Guangxi, but Fatty Lu led the army alone.  After being defeated in the battle, Shang Kexi was also captured on the battlefield, becoming the third Qing prince captured by the Wu army and the second captured by Fatty Lu!  Shang Kexi's remnant army was forced to retreat to Guangdong, and no longer spared any effort to put pressure on the Wu army's eastern front!

    Fatty Lu's sap not only knocked Xiao Mazi's feverish head unconscious, but also made Xiao Mazi's pockmarked face miserable. Everyone knows that Fatty Lu was originally Xiao Mazi's favorite minister.  Fatty, the Qing court also caused countless disturbances, and even forced Xiao Mazi to send a senior official like Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to go south to mediate and investigate the case of Fatty Lu's dispute with the prefect, which shows the importance he attaches to Fatty Lu  One spot.  However, Fatty Lu is now using such means to repay Xiao Mazi. Xiao Mazi's pockmarked face is ugly, but it is even more ugly.

    Just when Xiao Mazi swore that he would cut Fatty Lu into pieces and feed them to the dogs, the second, heavier sap came. Wuchang was conquered by the Wu army, and only 10,000 of the 60,000 Qing troops escaped across the Yangtze River.  The rest were either killed, or captured by the Wu army together with more than 30,000 bannerman masters in the inner city of Wuchang!

    One night later, the third sap was struck even harder, and Ye Bilong even signed a peace treaty, promising to compensate Wu Jun with 30 million taels of silver for military pay and 5 million shi of grain, and another 5 million taels of grain.  Wen Yin redeems Prince Baylor and the soldiers of the Eight Banners who were captured by the Wu army!  And it also specifically requested that 70% be paid within three months, and all paid within one year!

    A stick that is heavier than a stick of Sap is also??Pull Lao Tzu?  Suo'etu cursed wildly in his heart, kowtowed quickly and said: "Your Majesty, this proposal was made by the servant, and the servant should also take up the post, but the servant had a lot of nasty words with the old thief Wu Sangui before, if I take this position, I'm afraid it will backfire  Instead, the old thief Wu Sangui sternly refused, and missed the country's major affairs.  That's why the servant proposed that Mr. Wang should take up this position alone.  "

    Of course, Xiao Mazi also knew that this was an errand to scold. Considering that Suo'etu is now the chief assistant of the court, and it is really inconvenient to take the blame for regulating Yin and Yang to manage all the officials, so Xiao Mazi nodded quickly and said: "  Suo Aiqing and the old thief Wu Sangui are really at odds, and I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not beautiful to go there, so I still wronged Wang Aiqing and made a hard trip. I will let Xiong Cilu Xiong Aiqing be your deputy, and please invite those who are inextricably linked with Wu Fan  Kong Sige went out of the mountain and took on this mission together. I hope Wang Aiqing will never refuse for the sake of her family and the world."

    "Of course I dare not refuse." At this point in the matter, Wang Xu, who also understands that this is a scolding job, has no choice but to change his words, so he can only bite the bullet and say: "But I have something to say first, and persuade Wu Fan to extend the military salary.  , Grain, and the payment deadline for the prisoners of war, the minister explained the truth to Wu Fan and showed great righteousness, maybe there is still a two-to-three point certainty, but if Wu Fan releases our prisoners of war in advance, the minister really has more than enough energy."

    "Aiqing, try your best. If you really can't do it, I won't blame you." Xiao Mazi sighed, but squinted at Xiong Cilu who was kneeling next to Wang Xu from the corner of his eyes, and secretly scolded Xiong Cilu in his heart.  How could the proposal of the confidant lackey to urge old traitor Wu to change his decision be raised in front of so many people in the court?  Isn't this forcing Xiao Mazi to oppose in public, to act like a villain in person?

    "Then I will do my best." Wang Xu kowtowed in agreement, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this humble minister will try his best to persuade Wu Fan to give time, but for the sake of the emperor's authority and the court's face, I will not give up.  Your Majesty, please be prepared, if the negotiating minister fails, I hope that your Majesty will formulate countermeasures earlier, so as to avoid sudden and hasty matters."

    Xiao Mazi's pockmarked face became gloomy again, and after thinking for a long time, Xiao Mazi ordered weakly: "Pass down the decree, let the prince in Beijing, the Duke Baylor, and the officials and gentry from all over the place understand the difficulties of the court, and give money and food to the court, and try our best to raise money.  An order was passed to Nanjing that only half of this year's grain should be transported northward, and the rest should be stored in Nanjing City for the time being."

    "The decree will be passed again, and the construction of Chengde Mountain Resort, Mulanwei Hunting Ground and Xishan Garden will be stopped, and money and food will be freed up just in case."

    "The decree will be delivered again. This year's Chinese New Year's double flag salary will not be paid, and it will be paid as usual."

    "In addition, the construction of palace pavilions in the palace has also stopped, and the 1,500 beautiful women who are going to be selected are not selected."

    "Let's halve my meal too, one hundred and eight dishes per meal will do"

    "My emperor sets an example, practices frugality, and is worthy of the world! The slaves (minors) are all admired. Long live my emperor, long live, long live¡ª¡ª!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 206 Self-defeating

    ?

    In order to show the so-called majesty, Xiao Mazi has only called a big rally twice since he overthrew Oboi to call all officials above the fourth rank in Beijing to participate in the early court. The first time was when he wiped out Oboi's party like lightning  Yes, the second time is to discuss whether to implement the peace treaty meeting between the Qing court and the Pingxi Palace.

    But unfortunately, this second meeting was destined to become one of the most painful meetings in Xiao Mazi's life.  ¡ª¡ªAttention, just one of them.

    Finally ended this extremely unhappy big fight, Xiao Mazi told the eunuch to inform some absolute confidantes to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to kowtow, and led a group of eunuchs and maids alone to return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the result was unexpected for Xiao Mazi  It is expected and not surprising that Xiao Mazi's grandmother Xiaozhuang, the old witch, has been waiting for a long time in the Hall of Mental Cultivation with Lagu Su Ma and Li Yinzheng.  Seeing this scene, Xiao Mazi inevitably murmured in his heart, "Why is grandma always like this? Always treat me like a child? Do I still need to be reminded of everything now?"

    He whispered quietly, but Xiao Mazi still didn't dare to waver in his respect and trust for the old witch of Xiaozhuang. He quickly walked up to Xiaozhuang, knelt down on both knees and kowtowed, and said respectfully, "Emperor Sun pays his respects to grandma."  , Grandmother Wanfu Jinan."

    "Your majesty, Su Ma, go and give me a hand." Xiao Zhuang waved his hand lightly, and then said with a smile: "Your majesty, when there are no outsiders, don't be rigid, you don't need to follow the rules."

    "Thank you grandma." Xiao Mazi kowtowed again, stood up with the support of La Aunt Su Ma, and nodded her pockmarked face to express her gratitude to La Aunt Su Ma, and at the same time expressed her gratitude to La Aunt Su Ma, who was actually her adoptive mother.  Show respect.  Finally, Xiao Mazi tentatively asked: "Grandmother, you came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation today because of the peace treaty signed between Ye Bilong and the old thief Wu Sangui?"

    "That's right." Xiao Zhuang nodded and called Xiao Mazi to sit down, "Grandmother thought that you would be uncertain about such a big matter, so I came here to wait for you, but I didn't expect that today's big  The court meeting ended so quickly. How is it, did the court meeting have any results?"

    "There is a result." Xiao Mazi replied weakly: "Although some courtiers objected, my grandson still agreed to approve the peace treaty signed by Ye Bilong. Just considering the state treasury's ability to bear and the actual situation, my grandson decided to  Send Wang Xu and Xiong Cilu as envoys to Wuchang to contact the old thief Wu Sangui to discuss and sign the peace treaty and implement it."

    "Already approved?" Xiao Zhuang was a little surprised, he never thought that his grandson would make up his mind so quickly and suffer the humiliation under his crotch?  Originally, according to Xiaozhuang's estimate, with Xiao Mazi's age and personality, he would have to go back and forth on this matter for at least a few days before he could make up his mind.

    "Don't blame grandma, and my grandson doesn't want to ratify this peace treaty, but the situation forced me to do so." Xiao Mazi obviously misunderstood the reason for Xiaozhuang's surprise, and quickly explained: "My 650,000 troops in the Qing Dynasty were killed in battle,  The total number of captives and rebels has almost reached half. The remaining 300,000 troops are either guarding places and defending the frontier, and there are very few mobile troops that can be drawn to fight, or they are poorly equipped and insufficient in combat power.  Having been on the battlefield, this power is not enough to wipe out the old thief Wu Sangui, but to prevent the old thief Wu Sangui from going north and east, and there is a serious shortage of strength, so time is urgently needed to recruit new troops and equip them for training."

    "In addition, there are more than 40 princes and princes Baylor, nearly 40,000 Eight Banners soldiers and more than 30,000 Manchu people in the Qing Dynasty who fell into the hands of the old thief Wu Sangui.  It hurt them. Our Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty has a weak population, and we simply cannot afford such a large loss of personnel."

    "In addition, Sun'er's detailed eyeliner also reported to Sun'er that the rebels Zheng Jing in Taiwan, Galdan in Northwest China, and Geng Jingzhong in Fujian have all shown signs of being ready to move after hearing that the main force of the Qing Dynasty has been destroyed.  They have sent envoys to congratulate the old thief Wu Sangui openly or secretly, and they already have the intention to join forces with the old thief Wu Sangui to cause trouble, if the thief leader Wu Sangui is not appeased as soon as possible, the consequences will be disastrous."

    "So, there is no other way, grandson has no choice but to approve this peace agreement." Xiao Mazi's voice became lower and lower, and he said dejectedly: "Now grandson only wants to buy two to three years to prepare for the war.  Redeem the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, and then use them as the core to form and build a new Great Qing army, and then fight to the death with the old thief Wu Sangui to wipe out this traitor!"

    "The emperor misunderstood." Xiaozhuang shook his head and said with a smile: "Grandmother didn't blame you for approving this peace treaty. Grandmother just didn't expect that grandson, you can make up your mind so quickly. You can't bear it. Approve and accept this peace treaty."  A peace agreement. It seems that Aijia's grandson has really grown up, matured and experienced, and Aijia can have less sex in the future.??I want you to remember two things, one is that treasures are not easy to come by, you must spend every rare treasure wisely, don¡¯t waste it, and don¡¯t be stingy, so as not to miss my important event!  "

    "Second thing, Wu Yingqi, the second son of the old thief Wu Sangui, his son-in-law Xia Guoxiang, his favorite generals Ma Bao, Wei Pu and Han Daren are all greedy and extremely favored by the old thief Wu Sangui.  These few people are used by me, and if we buy a few more cronies of the old thief Wu Sangui, the matter will be settled!"

    "My minister will remember my emperor's advice." Xiong Cilu didn't dare to say a word, but he muttered in his heart: "I don't need your emperor's advice on this point. If the minister didn't come forward to buy you, the emperor would take care of you  When you worship the rest of the party, will it be so easy?"

    "Kong Sizhen." Kang Mazi turned his hand to Kong Sizhen, and shouted in a stern voice: "You must have heard about Lu Yifeng, right? Back then, it was because of you, a dog slave, who tried every means to frame and persecute him.  Forcibly forced to the old thief Wu Sangui, I lost this talented man with both civil and military skills, are you guilty?!"

    "Slave, you deserve death! You deserve death!" Kong Sizhen was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and hurriedly kowtowed, "I beg the emperor to spare my life, I beg the emperor to spare my life."

    "Whether you will spare your dog's life or not depends on your performance!" Kang Mazi yelled viciously: "I will give you a chance to make meritorious service and atone for your sins.  I have to persuade Lu Aiqing to come back anyway, and tell Lu Aiqing for me that as long as he is willing to come anyway, he can ask for any official position or reward he wants!"

    "The servant will do his best." Kong Sizhen agreed with a sad face, both worried and going to deal with Lu Fatty's oiled fat loach, but also secretly happy and nervous.

    "Remember!" Kang Mazi added: "Even if Lu Aiqing can't come back anyway, I have to get Wu Gou's new gunpowder formula and Wu Gou's flying boat construction blueprint for me! These two things, no matter which one is done.  I can forgive your previous crimes, if you can¡¯t do that, then you can come back and apologize.¡±

    "The servant obeys the order." Kong Sizhen was even more frowning, and kowtowed feebly in agreement.

    "Sigege, I know your likes and abilities, don't let me down." Kang Mazi smiled darkly, then turned to Suo'etu at the end, sighed first, and then ordered: "Qing Suo, report to me for conscription."  Let¡¯s see how many new troops you have recruited for me in the past few months.¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 207 Fighting Poison with Poison (Part 1)

    ?

    Thanks to the intelligence network that the old traitor Wu has painstakingly managed for so many years, Wu Jun is not completely ignorant of the actions of the Qing court. Kang Mazi approved the armistice treaty signed by Ye Bilong and Wu Jun, and sent  Not long after the second wave of negotiating delegation headed by Wang Xu left Beijing, the news spread to Wuchang City.  At the same time, there is also a piece of claws from Wang Xu and his party's mission this time - persuading Wu Jun to extend the deadline for payment of military pay, food and ransom promised by the Qing court, and to release the Qing Prince Baylor who was captured by Wu Jun as soon as possible  Cum Banner Parasite!

    By the way, it's not how powerful Wu Jun's intelligence network is, the key is that Kang Mazi openly discussed this matter in all the dynasties where officials above the fourth rank in Beijing participated, although this does not rule out that Kang Mazi deliberately created public opinion and  The intention of psychological foreshadowing, but even if Wu Jun's intelligence network does not want to collect this information, it is really difficult.

    After receiving these news, the traitor Wu, who has never had any opinions, had to call a few dog-headed military divisions to discuss and discuss countermeasures with everyone. Coincidentally, because he was coming back, the traitor Wu would find a way to find new raw materials for the new firearms battalion of the Wu army.  The source, Fatty Lu happened to be in Wuchang City too, so Fatty Lu had the cheek to force himself into this meeting¡ªthis was also prompted by the bad luck of the Qing court.

    "Accurate news, good news." As soon as the meeting started, the old traitor Wu, who had his wish fulfilled, announced the good news to several important lackeys with a smile on his face: "The Emperor Mangou and the Mangou court have recognized the old man Ye Bilong.  The thief signed a truce with my Pingxi Palace."

    "Okay!" Hu Guozhu, Wang Shirong, and Fatty Lu applauded and cheered together. They all smiled and said that life is easier now, whether it is rebuilding Wuchang, developing Hunan and Guangxi, paying for the fallen soldiers, developing new weapons, etc.  Wait, you don't have to worry about money and food anymore, and the pressure on Wu Jun's rear in Yunnan and Guizhou can also be greatly reduced-with these two world-famous poor provinces as logistics bases, Wu Jun's life is indeed very difficult.

    "Don't be too happy yet." Old man Wu said with a treacherous smile, "But there is also a piece of bad news. The emperor Mangoumazi couldn't afford so much money and food at once, so he sent Wang Xu, Xiong Cilu and Kong Sizhen  As an imperial envoy, I came to Wuchang to start a second negotiation with the old man. I want the old man to give them some time, or reduce the amount of military pay, food, and prisoners of war. In addition, I want the old man to release their prisoners of war in advance. You say, old man  How should I answer?"

    Having said that, the old traitor Wu took out the intelligence of the Qing court that had been collected by Wu Jun's intelligence network, and handed it to Hu Guozhu, Fatty Lu and others for circulation.  After carefully reading the information, Hu Guozhu was the first to say: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law thinks that it is still possible to consider appropriately extending the payment date of military salaries, food and grass, and prisoners of war ransom.  There, even if we force Emperor Mazi to death, he will not be able to get it out. Moreover, if the pressure is too tight, Emperor Mazi may jump over the wall in a hurry, causing extra problems and adding twists and turns. It is better to make a little concession and take a step back. It will be great for us.  There are benefits."

    "Of course, we can make some concessions in terms of deadlines, but we absolutely must not compromise in terms of numbers. The military pay, food and grass, and prisoners of war ransom that Ye Bilong promised were paid for by our Pingxi Palace with blood and lives. Concessions in terms of numbers are not only disadvantageous, but also harmful to the soldiers.  They can't explain it either."

    "The students agree with General Jinwu's point of view." Wang Shirong echoed: "It is really impossible for the Mangou court to provide such a large sum of money and food in a short period of time. Instead of risking the Mangou court to tear up the peace treaty, forcefully  , it is better to make a little concession and give the Mangou court a little more time, so that you can be more careful."

    Speaking of this, Wang Shirong paused, and added: "However, the Mangou court's request for our army to release the prisoners of war in advance must not be granted! One of the most important reasons why Mangou is seeking perfection now is that we hold the prisoner in our hands.  For these important prisoners of war, if we make concessions in this regard and release the Mangou prisoners of war in advance, the Mangou court will have no worries, and no one can say whether they will continue to pay the remaining military pay, food and prisoners of war ransom."

    "That's right, Gu also thinks so." The old man Wu nodded his head, and said with a relaxed smile: "The annual income of the Mangou court is only more than 20 million taels of silver. This year, in order to support the Southwest War, this annual income has long been spent.  The second is clean, no matter how much you force Kangxi Xiaomazi, he will give it for nothing if he can¡¯t get it out, so in terms of the deadline, you can still make a little concession. But the early release of prisoners of war and the reduction of military pay, food and ransom for prisoners of war, etc., the full dog imperial court wants  Don't even think about it, the old man is not that stupid."

    After finishing speaking, the old traitor Wu turned his gaze to Fatty Lu again, and asked with a smile: "Yifeng, what's the matter? Usually, you are the one who talks the most at times like this. Why didn't you say a word today?"

    "Back to grandfather, grandson-in-law is thinking about one thingBefore that, Fang Guangchen worked hard to hoard enough military rations for three years in Yuezhou for Wu Jun¡¯s long-term plan. As a result, the price of food in Yuezhou was only one-third of that in Wuchang, where the Qing army was entrenched. Wu Yingqi  Seeing that it was profitable, he sold all the military rations.  Wu Yingqi was stopped by a general surnamed Wang, but Wu Yingqi not only refused to listen, but wanted to kill the general surnamed Wang, forcing the Wang surname to surrender to the Qing army.  To the extreme.

    In addition, Wu Yingqi also did a famous stupid thing. "Guangyang Miscellaneous Notes" records: Ma Bao entertained Wu Yingqi, Wang Fuchen and others in his tent. Wang Fuchen found flies in the meal, because Ma Bao had a violent temper and liked to kill people.  If you say it, the cook will die. In order to avoid the tragedy, Wang Fuchen called the flies black rice and ate them.  As a result, after Wu Yingqi found out, not only did he not support Wang Fuchen's doing this, but he laughed at it, wondering if Wang Fuchen would eat the shit if he found a bowl full of shit, which completely angered Wang Fuchen, causing the two to draw their swords at each other, and also forced Wu  The old traitor was forced to personally mediate.

 Chapter 208 Fighting Poison with Poison (Part 2)

    ?

    The buzzing casino in the inner city of Wuchang, even though the time is close to the second watch, the casino is still brightly lit and crowded with people. Every gaming table is crowded with soldiers of the Wu army who stayed up late to gamble, including generals, deputy generals, and soldiers.  There are military academies and even gang leaders, all of them are yelling, yelling, betting bets, or cursing luck  Too bad or laughing and lucky enough, the noise almost knocked down the roof of the house¡ªand the loudest one was naturally Wu Yingqi, the second prince of the Pingxi Palace, General Wu.

    "Damn! Why don't you be ten again? I didn't touch the white tiger last night? Why is my luck so bad?! Damn look at this, son of a bitch! Three o'clock! I'll fuck your ancestor eighteen  Dai, three o'clock¡ª¡ª! I'm so mad!"

    "Hahahahahaha, Second Prince, I'm sorry, the younger one is plum blossom, and I won you again! Hahahaha!"

    "Laugh! Have a laugh! I don't believe it, you can keep winning tonight!"

    Different from most of the time, Wu Yingqi's luck tonight was obviously not good enough. He lost thousands of taels of silver in more than three hours. For Wu Yingqi who loved money like his life, it was undoubtedly a heartbreak  The painful blow of cutting off the flesh and the root of the crotch caused him to lose so much that his eyes were red, his pigtails stood upright, his nostrils were panting heavily, his expression was so fierce that he was about to eat people, and the poor domino dice was smashed even more by him.  Bang bang, almost shattered.

    "The God of Wealth is here!" At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the gate of the casino, and countless Wu soldiers cheered loudly, shouting: "General Lu, come to our table, come to our table quickly!" "Lord Lu, come to our table!"  Come to our table, we will give you a seat!" "Brother Lu, don't listen to them, come to our side, we will give you a seat by the fire!"

    Shouting, countless soldiers of the Wu army rushed forward impatiently, trying to drag Fatty Lu who had just entered the door to his gambling table.  When Wu Yingqi saw his most proud student enter the arena, his eyes lit up immediately, he grabbed the dice, and shouted loudly: "Yifeng, come here, I'm here to sit in the dealership, come here and make some bets, help me get lucky!"

    There is definitely a reason why Fatty Lu is so popular in the Wu Jun casino. As we all know, Fatty Lu is invincible on the battlefield, but he is invincible in the casino. After joining Wu Jun for a few years, every time he entered the casino, he lost everything.  Clean and tidy, never took away a tael of silver or a copper coin from Wu Jun soldiers in the casino.  What's even more rare is that Fatty Lu is not only rich and powerful, but also extremely good at gambling. No matter how much he loses, he never criticizes the world like Wu Yingqi for a small loss. No matter how miserable the loss is, he always smiles  He smiled and didn't care. It would be unreasonable for such a gambler not to be welcomed in the casino.  Therefore, because of this, it is rare for Fatty Lu to take time out of his busy schedule to enter the casino once, so he is naturally welcomed and expected by everyone.

    "Yifeng, niece and son-in-law, come here! Come here!" Wu Yingqi was afraid that Fatty Lu would be snatched away by other gaming tables, so he hurriedly shouted.  But at this moment, the two people who followed behind Fatty Lu shocked all the Wu Jun gamblers present. The yelling and greetings stopped at the same time, and Wu Yingqi's yelling also suddenly stopped, and she exclaimed: "Brother-in-law!"  , Mr. Liangchen, did you go to the wrong door? Why are you here today?"

    "What are you looking at me for? Can I eat people?" Hu Guozhu, who is in charge of Wu Jun's military discipline, had a very kind expression on his face. He smiled and waved his hands and said, "Go ahead and play with you. Our Pingxi Palace has no regulations that the army is not allowed to play money, as long as it is not escaped from the post."  If you come here to gamble, you can play whatever you want. Just be careful, don¡¯t lose your pants too¡ªit¡¯s so cold, it¡¯s a bad life to go out without wearing pants.¡±

    "Hahahahaha" All the soldiers of the Wu army laughed loudly, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed again. Wu Yingqi also let out a long sigh of relief, patted his chest and muttered: "I was scared to death, I thought it was the father who suddenly banned gambling, sent me  My brother-in-law is here to grab the bet."

    "Second Prince, how's your luck?" Fatty Lu leaned over and asked with a smile, "How much did you win?"

    Wu Yingqi first took a look at Hu Guozhu and Wang Shirong behind Fatty Lu, and found that they were all smiling and relaxed, so he replied cursingly: "Win a ball! I lost more than a thousand taels! How about it, come up and help me make money."  Hands?"

    "Okay." Without saying a word, Fatty Lu immediately pulled out a two hundred taels of silver note from his sleeve, and threw it at the Tianmen position, which scared the surrounding Wu army soldiers to quickly put away the chips placed at the Tianmen position, and bet on the green dragon and white tiger instead.  position, for fear of getting the bad luck that Fatty Lu's casino will lose.  Wu Yingqi laughed loudly, threw the dice, and distributed Pai Gow quickly. As a result, Fatty Lu's nickname of "losing every bet" is really unfounded."Hope, go do your best for the prince's great affairs, charge into battle, and give full play to his strength as a brave general.  Besides, he is still the only son of the prince. If he is really a good man, the prince also has a heart for him. Why not help him with all our strength?  What's wrong?  "

    Wang Shirong was silent, and it took a long time to shake off Fatty Lu's collar, and said angrily: "I can't win your mouth, anyway, just this time, next time you dare to talk nonsense, I will be the first to ask the prince to chop your head off!"

    "What Yifeng said makes a lot of sense." Hu Guozhu was calmer, and said slowly: "Mangou killed our son at any cost, which proves that Mangou has also noticed this huge hidden danger of us, and this hidden danger will sooner or later  It will also explode. Instead of worrying about it and muddling along, it is better to list the second prince as the one we consider whether we can help, so as to avoid sudden events in the future and cause even greater disasters."

    "What he is best at is this set of strong rhetoric." Wang Shirong said angrily: "I don't want anything else now, but I just want the prince to kill all the dogs earlier, restore the Han family, and become emperor!"

    "Mr. Liangchen is right." Fatty Lu took over the conversation and said, "At present, the most important thing for us is to destroy the Tartars, restore the Central Plains, and assist the prince to rule the country and proclaim himself emperor. For the second prince, we  As long as we stabilize him temporarily and prevent him from doing stupid things, then when that day comes, no matter how great the hidden danger is, it will not matter to us."

    Hu Guozhu and Wang Shirong silently nodded silently, expressing their great agreement with Fatty Lu's words.  Fatty Lu quickly changed the subject, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, Kong Sizhen is one of the second batch of negotiating teams at the Mangou court. This bitch is best at seducing and buying with her beauty, and she might even use me and Wang  Xu's special relationship, he also bribed me. My nephew thinks that this is an opportunity to help us with a big event."

    "What big event can you help us with?" Hu Guozhu asked back as expected, diverting his attention.

    "Find out the truth about the son's murder." Fatty Lu said in a low voice, "Xiao Zhi has always wondered whether our son really died at the hands of the remnants of Obai's party?  With his body already dead and his followers scattered, how could the old thief Oboi send out his killers to sneak into the dungeon so easily and kill our son?"

    "It's not just you, I've been suspecting this too." Hu Guozhu nodded, and replied in a low voice: "It's just that there is no evidence to prove that this is actually the work of Emperor Kang Mazi."

    "Kong Sizhen must have evidence in his hand!" Fatty Lu said decisively: "Kong Sizhen is the head of the Mangou Thirteen Yamen, if it is really the murderous hand of the Mangou Emperor, he must have sent her men to be the killers, Kong Sizhen must know about it,  There must be evidence! That's why my nephew intends to make false claims with her, and try to get these evidence out of her hand, so as not to let the son die wronged in Jiuquan!"

    "Yes." Hu Guozhu nodded, and said in a low voice: "If you can find out the truth about the death of the son from Kong Sizhen, you can not only comfort the spirit of our son in heaven, but also greatly damage the authority and prestige of Emperor Mangou, and give us more confidence."  Make an excuse for war at any time, and do your best."

    "There is one more thing." Fatty Lu said quickly: "Uncle, you also know that Kong Sizhen has martial arts and has countless good fighters around him. My nephew and my personal soldiers are not their opponents at all¡ªso my nephew is greedy for life and afraid of death.  A few good hands will temporarily fill the manpower vacancy around my nephew, so as to avoid accidents when my nephew is dealing with Kong Sizhen."

    "Hmph!" Wang Shirong snorted, extremely dissatisfied with Fatty Lu's cunning.

    "Oh." Hu Guozhu also laughed out loud, and scolded with a smile: "No wonder someone said behind your back that you are a fat loach with oil, so slippery that you can't even catch the water drops-I want my uncle to send someone to monitor you, to prove it  You did not betray our Pingxi Palace when you secretly contacted and exchanged news with the Mangou court, so you should say it clearly, why are you beating around the bush and making other excuses? Is one of the confidants around you a meat foot?"

    Fatty Lu's shameless intentions were publicly exposed by Hu Guozhu, and the fat face was full of embarrassment.  Hu Guozhu smiled softly, and said: "But this is also good, so as to save others from gossiping. How about this, I will report this to my father-in-law tomorrow, and I will draw a few good men from his guard team to protect you by your side  .¡±

    "Thank you, Uncle, for your understanding." Fatty Lu quickly cupped his hands to express his gratitude, and said frankly, "My nephew is really not worried about my grandfather and uncle suspecting my nephew.  , otherwise, once the precedent is set, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, my nephew can only use the heart of a villain to measure the gentleman's belly of my uncle and grandfather."

    "If you can think that way, it's naturally the best." Hu Guozhu nodded, then looked up at the sky, looked at the snowflakes falling in the night sky, and suddenly sighed, "If the second prince can also have your kindness and magnanimity."  , then our Pingxi Palace will really be invincible in the world!"

    "That idiot Wu Yingqi is like me, so will I have a bright future?" Fatty Lu muttered in his heart.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 209

    ?

    On November 22, the eleventh year of Kang Mazi in the Tartar Qing Dynasty, Wang Xu and his party, the second wave of negotiating envoys sent by the Qing court, finally arrived at the Wuchang River.  According to Kang Mazi's instructions, Wang Xu and others did not directly enter Wuchang City to contact Wu Jun, but came to Hanyang City, Hanyang Prefecture, which was facing Wu Jun across the river.  Ni, Cai Yurong and the others did not dare to neglect, and rushed to the pier to meet them together.

    There are no drums and music, some are just devastated, there is no laughter, some are just gloomy and worried, even Kang Mazi's uncle Yue Le and Kang Mazi's cousin Chani are all in a state of turmoil  I don't know what kind of punishment Kang Mazi will give us - defeating so many battles in one breath and losing so many state capitals, lands and troops in one breath, and finally taking Wuchang City, which is heavily guarded and fortified like gold, with even the city and the army  Lost together, Tu Hai, Yue Le and the others dared not dream that Kang Mazi would spare them.

    Sure enough, after Wang Xu landed, he read the imperial decree on the pier in public, scolded Tu Hai, Yue Le and others for their ugly behavior of losing the city and land, losing their teachers and humiliating the country.  Being harsh, he scolded Tu Hai, Yue Le and others until they were sweating profusely, trembling, trembling all over, and almost fainted on the spot.  However, when finally announcing the decision to deal with Tu Hai and the others, Kang Mazi's imperial decree suddenly changed its tone and gave Tu Hai, Chani, and Cai Yurong a very light punishment¡ªremoval of all official titles and titles, and suspension of their salaries.  Sin, still stay in the original position to pay the crime and make meritorious service!

    Although Kang Mazi's decision was unexpected, it was already among the several possible consequences that Tu Hai and Cai Yurong and other official slickers expected-at present, the Qing army's elite has been completely lost, and the outstanding generals have been wiped out by the Wu army.  , relying entirely on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and the survival of the superior navy, in this case, it is almost easy for Xiao Mazi, who has almost no one to use, to cut off the heads of Tu Hai, Cai Yurong and others, but if he wants to find a suitable replacement, then it is impossible.  It's so easy, so we can only temporarily keep Tuhai and Cai Yurong and other lackeys who can fight a little bit of fighting and are familiar with the enemy's situation, stabilize the Yangtze River defense line for the time being, and then find a way to replace them slowly.

    The only thing that surprised people was Kang Mazi's treatment of Yue Le. For Yue Le, the only coach in the Qing army whose talents and abilities were comparable to that of Obai, Kang Mazi not only did not consider reuse, but entrusted him with the defense line of the Yangtze River.  Instead of being punished lightly like Tuhai, Chani, and Cai Yurong, they were relieved of all official positions on the spot, and sent back to the capital for trial by the servants of the clan's government!  As for the excuse, it was naturally that Yue Le escaped during the Battle of Wuchang, causing the soldiers and civilians in the city to surrender to the Wu army.

    After hearing Kang Mazi's edict, Tuhai, Chani, Cai Yurong and the others naturally kowtowed to express their gratitude as if they had received amnesty, but Yue Le's eyes were full of tears, his forehead was on the ground, his whole body was trembling, and he couldn't speak for a long time.  One word.  At this time, among the Qing troops lined up on the pier to meet the imperial envoy, there was a sudden and earth-shattering cry of grievances, "You are wronged! You are wronged!"

    "My lord, Prince An was wronged! He didn't run away. He was the last one in our Qing army to cross the Yangtze River. He didn't run away!"

    "My lord, the servant can testify! When Prince An withdrew across the Yangtze River, the servant was by Prince An's side. It was Ye Zhongtang who couldn't find Tutang and took over the command of the entire army, and then ordered Prince An to retreat.  , Prince An didn¡¯t run away! This is what the servant said when he went to the hall of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate! Prince An is a good guy!¡±

    "The last general can also testify that Prince An was the last to withdraw, and he didn't run away!"

    Hearing the indignation-filled roars of the soldiers of the Qing army, Yue Le couldn't help but burst into tears. Tu Hai, Chani, Cai Yurong and the others felt ashamed. They lowered their heads and didn't even dare to take a breath.  Xu also had a gloomy expression, and said to Yue Le in a low voice: "Prince An, for your own sake, you'd better come forward and stop it. The rumor about you spread by the old thief Wu Sangui has now spread to the capital.  Calling out for you, I'm afraid it will be more unfavorable to you."

    Yue Le was stunned, and finally understood why his nephew was so eager to confiscate his military power, and why he was so eager to recall him back to the capital. If he refused to follow the order, he would be afraid of the catastrophe of ransacking his family and destroying his family.  Immediately, it will descend upon oneself.  In desperation, Yue Le had no choice but to stand up, waved his hands with tears in his eyes to stop the soldiers from shouting for grievances, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, Xiao Wang accepts your favor for Xiao Wang, but the imperial decree is like a mountain, and Xiao Wang has no choice but to obey it."  Just do it. Don¡¯t worry, the current Emperor Kangxi is a sage and martial artist, and when Xiao Wang comes to the capital to tell him the truth, the Holy Majesty will naturally return Xiao Wang¡¯s innocence"

    After earnestly persuading for a long time, the voices of grievances and complaints among the soldiers of the Qing army finally calmed down.??Deliberately breaking the armistice treaty, it is not difficult to shake Wu Sangui's determination.  "

    "This" Wang Xu became embarrassed and said, "This old man is the worst at it."

    "Lord Wang, why don't you take Mr. Zhou across the river and ask him to help you persuade the old thief Wu Sangui?" Yue Le suggested: "Mr. Wang Guan Zhou is pedantic, resourceful, eloquent, and eloquent.  Take him across the river to help negotiate, I believe it will be successful."

    "Take Mr. Zhou Peigong across the river?" Wang Xu was a little tempted.

    "If Lord Wang does not give up, I am willing to serve you." Zhou Peigong said impatiently: "I have been good at eloquence since I was a child, and I have never met an opponent. I am willing to go across the river to debate with many lackeys of Wu Thief, and help Lord Wang achieve his goal.  Serve the country and be loyal to the Holy One."

    "Pei Gong, how sure are you?" Tu Hai also hoped that the confidant lackey whom he personally picked would win him over, so he couldn't wait to ask.

    "I dare not say with 100% certainty, but there is still a 70% to 80% certainty." Zhou Peigong said with great confidence: "And there is another advantage of humble positions, that is, Wu thieves and lackeys, even if it is not good for them to extend the payment time of military salaries, they will  They dare not speak out in public, otherwise, they deliberately do not want to abide by the armistice treaty, and are ready to tear up the armistice treaty and start a new war at any time, so that the old thief Wu Sangui will lose his reputation in the world.  Director."

    "In this case, please trouble Mr. Lao Peigong to have a talk with the next official across the river." Wang Xu was finally tempted, and sincerely invited: "Mr. Wanwang Peigong is counting on the country and society, so don't pay attention to Wang Xu's treatment of Mr. Wang on the way."  It's a crime of underestimating. After Mr. Peigong completes his great achievements, I will be the emperor and ask for credit for Mr. "

    "How dare you disobey your orders in a lowly position?" Zhou Peigong agreed.

    Seeing the smug expression on Zhou Peigong's handsome face, Kong Sizhen, who knew Zhou Peigong's eloquence, had some hopes at first, and then some anticipation, and said in his heart: "Zhou Chang's mouth is really good, Wu Gou's  I'm afraid no one is invincible, but if Wu Sangui's old thief brings out Lu Yifeng, who is equally eloquent, and sings against Zhou Chang in public, it will be a good show."

    "Three good things." Wang Xu also secretly said in his heart: "We can finally meet again, but this time, we meet as opponents, will you show mercy to me, follow my advice, and come back anyway?"

 Chapter 210: Talking and Talking (Part 1)

    ?

    After watching the guards from the Clan Mansion escort Yue Le away, Wang Xu and his party boarded the ferry again, and under the escort of ten small boats from the Qing Army Navy, sailed to the south with the north wind, towards Wuchang, which was occupied by the Wu Army.  city.  Accompanying him, apart from Xiong Cilu and Kong Sizhen, the two deputies sent by Kang Mazi to Wang Xu, there were Zhou Chang, Zhou Peigong, a talented Qing scholar who volunteered to be Wang Xu's lobbyist and debater, and the traitorous daughter-in-law, Princess Jianning.  With his second grandson, Wu Shilin, and the victim sent by Kang Mazi to avenge the old traitor Wu, the murderer who 'killed' the eldest son of the old traitor Wu, Wu Yingxiong¡ªthe eleven wives, concubines and children of Aobai!

    Because old traitor Wu had already been sent to inform in advance, as soon as Wang Xu and others landed, Wu Yingqi, Hu Guozhu, Xia Guoping and other son-in-laws of old traitor Wu, as well as traitor Wu's relatives such as Wu Yingjing and Fatty Lu, had already rushed to the shore.  Arrive at the pier to welcome the marquis¡ªof course, Kang Mazi's envoys definitely did not have such a big face, the old traitor Wu sent them to welcome his daughter-in-law and grandson.

    Prior to this, Princess Jianning and Wu Yingxiong had returned to Yunnan Province to kiss once, and they were quite familiar with the nephew, nephew and son-in-law of the old traitor Wu.  When my nephew met, he couldn't help crying.  It was also at this moment that Wu Yingqi, who is usually rude and rude, rarely showed some ordinary feelings. He hugged his little nephew Wu Shilin and wailed in public, crying bitterly for his dead brother's death; and it was not good to impress Fatty Lu  Princess Jianning also wiped away her tears, constantly lamenting that Wu Shilin could be returned to the Pingxi Palace, and she could have an explanation to Wu Yingxiong even if she died, which made everyone in the Wu army weep.

    "My lord, my lord, why did you just leave like this? You are called an official, and you are called a nephew. What should I do in the future? My lord"

    When the cat was crying and the mouse was howling pretentiously with its fat head lowered, Fatty Lu's shoulder was suddenly patted lightly. Fatty Lu wiped away a handful of tears that were never worth anything. When he looked up, he was surprised to find that he was standing in front of him.  Yes, it is my close friend, Mite Qing, who has saved my life, and the current minister of the Ministry of War¡ª¡ªWang Xu!

    "Brother Zizhuan!" Fatty Lu yelled, without saying a word, he immediately bowed to the ground with his hands clasped together.

    "Brother Sanhao." Wang Xu hurriedly bowed his hand to return the salute, and also touched the ground with a bow, and said excitedly: "My dear brother, please get rid of the courtesy! I haven't seen you for more than four years. Will you be safe again, my dear brother?"

    When he was speaking, Wang Xu couldn't help but tears flickered in the corners of his eyes. These were real sad and emotional tears, not the hypocritical crocodile tears that Fatty Lu could burst out at any time.  And Fatty Lu was rarely emotional, Mung Dou's small eyes glistened, and he said with a choked voice, "Brother Xie Zizhuan, I'm fine. Brother Zizhuan, you've lost weight again, and your braids have turned gray"

    "Brother Sanhao, I'm not afraid of you laughing when I tell you." Wang Xu also confessed, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Yu's braids are partly because of you, Brother Yu. Brother Yu, you follow Prince Pingxi from the side of the Qing Dynasty.  When he was in danger, he was ordered to be transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of War, and each was his own master. Brother Yu had to worry about how to defeat the virtuous brother during the day, dispatch troops, allocate money and food, and worry about the position and safety of the virtuous brother at night.  , I can¡¯t figure it out.¡±

    Wang Xu's words were frank, direct, and full of sincerity. Even though Fatty Lu had a different standpoint from him, he couldn't help but be extremely moved. He cupped his hands and bowed again, choked up and said: "My brother is not righteous, let brother Zizhuan work so hard for me, my brother  capital offense."

    "The three good virtuous brothers have already said that each is their own master. What is the fault of the virtuous brother?" Wang Xu hurriedly hugged Fatty Lu, and said happily with tears in his eyes: "It is my virtuous brother, this time, you let Brother Yu  I was surprised again. I didn't expect that the virtuous brother is not only of high moral character, knowledgeable about heaven and man, but also majestic on the battlefield.  At the time of the glorious record, I feel sorry for my virtuous brother, but I can't help being proud of my virtuous brother, and I admire my talent."

    "Brother Zizhuan, thank you." Fatty Lu replied modestly: "My little brother just won a few small victories by chance, but Zizhuan, you are in the rear and dispatched money and grain troops.  To be able to keep the people on the front line calm, to ensure that the soldiers on the front line have enough food and clothing, and that there is a steady stream of support is the real military and political talent. If my Pingxi Palace can have such a great talent as Brother Zizhuan, let alone Wuchang Mansion, it will be the city of Nanjing  , We have already taken it down."

    "Where are you talking?" Wang Xu shook his head and said sincerely: "Brother Yu is just taking advantage of manpower and material resources, so that he can barely protect the frontline soldiers from suffering from hunger and cold, but brother, you have repeatedly defeated the strong with the weak, and defeated the masses with the few.  , this is the real genius! It is the blessing of the prince that Prince Pingxi can get an all-round talent like you, and he is also the old thief of Oboi.The prince is considerate of the difficulties of the court and will allow some time appropriately.  "

    "This is difficult." Hu Guozhu said in embarrassment: "Master Wang, I think you also know that Yunnan and Guizhou are both poor provinces in the Qing Dynasty, with weak financial resources. This time, to help the emperor and the court eradicate Oboi  Traitor, our Pingxi Prince¡¯s Mansion has long been living without food, and we are stretched thin. We still owe countless money and food to the common people and merchants, and we owe countless pensions and silver taels to the soldiers who died in battle. We have agreed to pay them back within three months. If Mr. Wang wants us to  If the prince grants time, then our prince will lose his trust in the world and feel ashamed of the people of Yunnan and Guizhou."

    Wang Xu is an honest man, he was immediately speechless when Hu Guozhu pushed him like this, but Zhou Peigong next to him immediately said: "General Jin Wu's words are wrong, according to my humble opinion, if Prince Pingxi agrees to allow time, not only will he not  I am ashamed of the people of Yunnan and Guizhou, and have broken the trust of the world. On the contrary, I will win the hearts of the people of Yunnan and Guizhou and the hearts of the world even more."

    "How can you see that?" Hu Guozhu asked with a sneer.

    "General Jinwu, don't worry, please listen to the humble official and speak slowly." Zhou Peigong smiled gently, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Dare to ask General Jinwu, why did Prince Pingxi raise his troops? On the side of the Qing Dynasty, kill the traitors of Aobai and wipe out Aobai  Worshiping the traitor party! And who did it, the current emperor, the Qing court, and the people of the Qing Dynasty all over the world! If you are humble, I would like to ask General Jinwu, the people of Yunnan, Guizhou, merchants, but the people of the emperor, the people of the Qing Dynasty?"

    "So what?" Hu Guozhu asked with a sneer, but he secretly raised his vigilance in his heart, because Hu Guozhu has such a good niece and son-in-law, and every time he goes around like this, making Hu Guozhu dizzy and refuting.  Speechless, forced to act according to words.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

    ?

    "That's right, in the whole world, is it the land of the king, the shore of the land, and the subjects of the king! All the people in the world are the people of the Qing Dynasty, the people of the Holy One, and the people of Yunnan and Guizhou are the people of the Qing Dynasty, the people of the Holy One!"

    Zhou Peigong loudly echoed and emphasized Hu Guozhu's words, and said with a smile: "General Jinwu, since you understand this, why do you force the emperor to sacrifice the people of the Qing Dynasty for the sake of the people of Yunnan and Guizhou?  How much, General Jin Wu and Prince Xi are well aware, and within three months to pay as much as more than 20 million taels of silver and 3.5 million stone grain and grass, how could our Qing emperor and the Qing court get it?  ?¡±

    "Since the emperor and the Qing court can't afford so much money and food, and Prince Pingxi and General Jinwu force us to pay the emperor, what should the emperor do? Isn't it only possible to collect it from the people? At that time, everyone will know that the emperor is because of Pingxi.  If the prince increases taxes and taxes to the people of the world, the people of the world will naturally complain to the prince of Pingxi, and the prince will also bear the eternal infamy of not paying attention to the emperor and trying to force the monarch.

    "But what if Prince Pingxi understands the difficulties of the court, knows the sufferings of the Holy One, and offers to extend the time for paying military salaries and food? What will happen?" Zhou Peigong spoke very quickly, and said incessantly: "First, the people of the Qing Dynasty in Yunnan and Guizhou  Merchants not only will not ask the prince for the money owed, but will praise the prince of Pingxi for his loyalty to the country, Hou Chengzaiwu, and his admiration and love for the prince! Second, the soldiers of Yunnan and Guizhou who are owed military salaries will also understand the prince¡¯s ambition to serve the country and know  It is an act of serving the country and righteousness to follow the prince to fight against traitors. He is more loyal to the prince and more brave and good at fighting! Thirdly, after the people of the Qing Dynasty know about this, they will naturally understand the prince¡¯s intentions.  After a lot of hard work, I am grateful for the favor of the prince, and I am grateful to the prince, and I have received the hearts of the world!"

    Having said this loudly, Zhou Peigong smiled slightly, and asked Hu Guozhu: "General Jinwu, I have a humble opinion, do you think so?"

    Hu Guozhu was tongue-tied, and old traitor Wu was also a little caught off guard. He couldn't think of words to refute Zhou Peigong's words for a while.  Not to be outdone, Wang Shirong stood up and said loudly: "Bold madman, dare to speak rudely in front of the prince? I, Prince Pingxi, is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Above all, he embodies the sacred will and below responds to the hearts of the people. The Qing emperor raised his troops to kill Oboi for the sake of the country.  I have done my best and done my best! I, the soldiers of Yunnan and Guizhou, were all courageous and took the lead. I finally made great achievements by throwing my head and blood. It can be said that I have recreated the same kindness to the emperor and the Qing court! You madman, how dare you slander me, Prince Pingxi.  Public opinion? He deserves death!"

    "Mr. Liangchen." Zhou Peigong turned to Wang Shirong, cupped his hands, and said with a smile, "Mr. Liangchen has misunderstood. He has the courage to be humble, and he dare not show any disrespect to Prince Pingxi! The humble position is just a bold reminder to the prince, don't let the people of the world  Misunderstand the prince, let alone let the people of Yunnan and Guizhou, where the prince is based, misunderstand the prince, and misunderstand that the prince raised troops not for state affairs, but for his own self-interest."

    "Sophistry!" Wang Shirong said angrily, "Your Majesty raised troops to eradicate traitors for the country. The whole world knows this. How can a despicable villain like you slander and confuse right and wrong with just a few words? For the past year, my Pingxi Palace and the people of Yunnan and Guizhou have worked together for you."  For the sake of the country, how much is the price paid? How many athletes have been sacrificed? You waited for the treacherous villain to come here for personal fame and fortune, and came here to encourage my prince to be ashamed of the soldiers and the people, and shake the foundation of the palace. What is your intention?"

    "It's a piece of trash, easy to deal with." Zhou Peigong secretly smiled, knowing that although Wang Shirong was aggressive, he actually had nothing to say, and he didn't have any arguments, let alone reasons to overthrow his arguments.  At that moment, Zhou Peigong smiled and said: "Mr. Liangchen misunderstood again. I dare not be ashamed of the soldiers and people of Yunnan and Guizhou for personal gain, let alone shake the foundation of Pingxi Palace. I just want to ask the prince to plan for the family and the world, and also for the sake of the prince's personal prestige.  Wouldn¡¯t it be great to extend the period of payment of military salaries and grains promised by the Qing court appropriately, to report to the emperor¡¯s kindness, and to win the hearts of the people?¡±

    After all, Zhou Peigong did not wait for Wang Shirong to continue to get angry, and immediately asked with a smile: "Mr. Liangchen, you have already understood this truth, but you are pressing hard, and you insist on encouraging the prince not to extend the time limit. Could it be that Mr.  Prince Pingxi pushed to the place of unfaithfulness and injustice that oppresses the king and the people?"

    "Who said that I can't extend the time limit after instigating the prince?" Wang Shirong blurted out and asked.

    "Very good." Zhou Peigong applauded loudly, and said with a smile: "It seems that the lowly position has indeed misunderstood Mr. Liangchen. It turns out that Mr. Liangchen did not intend to encourage the prince to refuse to extend the deadline, but to invite the prince to act wisely for his family and the world.  Judging! You deserve to die, and you will accuse Mr. Liangchen."

    After all, Zhou Peigong really bent down to salute, and slapped Wang Shirong in a very chic manner.  Wang Shirong was dumbfounded, and wanted to change his words but it was too late to say anything, so he could only stand there blankly, momentarily??!  " Fatty Lu applauded, laughed and said: "Son Zhou Chang, you say that the official has sinister intentions and tried to provoke the war again, so where is your evidence?"  "

    "You object to Prince Pingxi's agreement to extend the payment period for military salaries and grass, and that is evidence!" Zhou Peigong replied loudly, "How could the Qing court pay 24.5 million taels of silver and 3.5 million shi of grain in March?  Can it be taken out? If the court can¡¯t take it out, won¡¯t the flames of war reignite?¡±

    "My son Zhou Chang, you are the secretary of the household department or the head of the House of Internal Affairs. How do you know that the Qing court can't get it out?" Wang Shaobo took up the conversation again, and said: "Besides, the student's boss is loyal to the prince and the Qing court.  Could it be that you and other disloyal and unrighteous youngsters can know about it?"

    "Son Zhou Chang, do you know how much the people in the five southwestern provinces have suffered due to the Obai Rebellion?" Fatty Lu was even more aggressive, asking one after another: "Do you know that because of the Obai Rebellion, the people in the five southwestern provinces have suffered a lot?"  Among the common people, how many people have been unable to open the pot and have no overnight food? Do you know how many people in the five southwestern provinces sold their sons and daughters because of the raging fire? Do you know that in order to put down the traitors of Oboi  In the five southwestern provinces, how many cities were destroyed, how many villages were burned, and how many naked Qing people slept in the snow and ice?"

    "Even if you can't see these things, the ruins of the outer city of Wuchang are withered, you should see them, right? Are you blind or have a dark conscience?!"

    "Boy Zhou Chang, a despicable villain like you will never understand the good intentions of a loyal court official like the Dong family!" Wang Shaobo shouted louder, "Do you know how many fields there are in the five southwestern provinces because of the raging war?  Destroyed by the war, how many people have been displaced, and how many farmers can't even find the grain to grow in the spring? If the master doesn't try to persuade the prince to collect the military pay and food from the court, if the prince doesn't try his best to seek benefits for the five southwestern provinces, how much will there be in the coming year?  The people of the Qing Dynasty froze to death and starved to death? How many hungry people will riot? How many people will be tortured again?!"

    "Son Zhou Chang, as the saying goes, a gentleman only sees his righteousness, and a villain only sees his benefits! A despicable person like you only wants to get promoted and make a fortune, but you don't see the sage and the prince worrying about the people and doing their best! Not to mention the restraint!"  Bilong Ye Zhongtang sacrificed himself for the sake of the long-term peace and stability of the people of the Qing Dynasty, and resolutely agreed to pay 35 million taels of silver and 5 million shi of grain. Do you also think that Ye Zhong Ye Tang is only for personal gain? Then I tell you,  Wrong, Ye Zhongtang is the same as our Prince Pingxi, all for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the common people in the world!"

    "The student's master understands this very well, so he urged our lord not to listen to the words of you villains and refuse to extend the deadline!" Wang Shaobo jumped out again, waving his arms and shouted: "And you, Zhou Chang,  As a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, he interfered indiscriminately and instigated him with tricks and instigations for his personal promotion and fortune, in an attempt to trap the present Wanzai, Prince Pingxi, and Grand Master Ye Bilong in unrighteousness, which is disloyal!"

    "As a son of man, when you see Oboi's traitors taking power and messing up the government, not only do you not speak up to advise them, but you bow down to serve the thieves, making your parents and ancestors ashamed in Jiuquan, it is unfilial!" Fatty Lu caught it loudly.

    "The people in the five southwestern provinces are suffering from upside down. As an official, you not only do not try to save them." Wang Shaobo took it again, and said loudly: "On the contrary, it is inhumane to prevent others from saving the people from the fire and water!"

    "Tuhai promoted you to Weimo, but you abandoned Tuhai and voted for Oboi." Fatty Lu took it over again, "The traitor Oboi treated you well. After defeat, you not only refused to shed a single tear for him,  Turning around and joining brother Zi Zhuan's command, accusing and insulting Oboi wantonly, it is unrighteous!"

    In the end, Fatty Lu and Wang Shaobo pointed at Zhou Peigong and shouted in unison: "How can you be an unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unrighteous beast in clothes, living between heaven and earth, and going to see your parents in your hometown? We  If it were you, you would have slammed your head to death in this hall long ago, and you will never have the face to see the emperor, long live the emperor, the elders of your hometown!"

    "Your father is also ashamed of his family and the world." Fatty Lu added in an extremely vicious way, "In fact, your father should have shot you against the wall back then, and shouldn't have shot you into your mother's stomach!"

    "Hahahahaha!" Amidst the loud laughter from all over the Pingxi Palace, including old traitor Wu, Wang Xu, Kong Sizhen, Xiong Cilu and other people from the Qing court were ashamed and wished to find a crack in the ground.  Zhou Peigong's face turned from red to white, from white to blue, and finally from green to yellow. When he opened his mouth to scold back, suddenly a mouthful of blood spewed out, and he sat down on the ground, clutching his chest and struggling in pain.

    "Is this the end?" Fatty Lu was obviously a little disappointed. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said grandly: "I just started warming up and it's over. It's really useless."

    "That's right." Wang Shaobo echoed, "The last time a student was judged by his appearance by a foolish examiner and his grades in the township examination were erased, he blocked the entrance of the examination room and cursed for three days and three nights. How long has he been scolding? It's really not fun."  To be continued.

 Chapter 212 Fatty's version of the beauty trick

    ?

    After Fatty Lu and the dog-headed master Wang Shaobo scolded Zhou Peigong until he vomited blood in public, Wang Xu, Xiong Cilu and other imperial envoys were ashamed to bring up the matter of extending the payment period of military pay and rations at the banquet. They could only be honest  After eating the food and wine rewarded by the old traitor Wu, he said goodbye and left, went to the house arranged by Wu Jun to rest, and then went to the posthouse to meet Ye Bilong, who had been sick since the signing of the peace agreement,  Perform subordinate etiquette and visit Ye Bilong's condition.  As for Kong Sizhen, the former goddaughter of old traitor Wu, she can only reluctantly visit her formal husband in name¡ªKong Sizhen.

    Out of bad taste, Fatty Lu, who was extremely curious about what would happen when Kong Sizhen and Sun Yanling reunited, used the pretext of arranging to monitor Kong Sizhen's despicable actions, quietly went outside Sun Yanling's room, and squatted under the window to eavesdrop on the conversation between Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen.  To Fatty Lu's disappointment, he squatted in the cold for nearly two hours, except for Kong Sizhen's weeping and Sun Yanling's angrily smashing teacups and ruining Wu Jun's military expenses, he heard nothing interesting.  Line Yuxuan, who was also jealous of the sea, was grabbed by the ear and carried back to the room, where he was punched and kicked a lot.

    "Fatty man, are you bored? When someone else's husband and wife reunite, you go under the window to eavesdrop on me. What are you going to do? Are you going to help Sun Yanling and satisfy that peerless desire?"

    Line Yuxuan was also furious, grabbed Fatty Lu and beat and kicked and cursed at the same time, the vinegar jar almost drowned Fatty Lu, poor Fatty Lu was not his opponent, he couldn't escape even if he ran, he could only hold his fat head  , begging for an explanation with a mournful and fat face, "Yu'er, you misunderstood, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that, ouch! I really meant that, I'm just curious, I want to hear about that bitch Kong Sizhen and Sun Yanling  What will happen when the Green Hat King meets again, I really have no other intention Ouch, Yu Er, please be gentle!"

    "Don't do this, I don't know you yet? Your mouth can coax down even a sparrow from a tree, and you still want to lie to me?" Line Yuxuan, full of jealousy, grabbed Fatty Lu's ears viciously, while  He said even more viciously: "Also, don't think that I don't know. You and that woman used to flirt with each other before, and they flirted with each other very passionately. Tell me the truth, have you ever had anything to do with her?  "

    "Injustice! Great injustice!" Fatty Lu was in a hurry, and quickly pressed Yu Xuan's little hand, and said with great aggrievedness: "Yu'er, you can suspect that I am promiscuous outside, or you can suspect that I have a relationship with other women.  Not innocent, but you must never suspect that I hooked up with Kong Sizhen! Because by doing this, you not only insulted me, but also insulted my eighteen generations of ancestors!  You won¡¯t be so hungry that you even want that kind of woman?¡±

    "Really?" Line Yuxuan asked with disbelief.

    "I swear on the honor of my ancestors, and then on the honor of my only son, Lu Bangjing!" Fatty Lu replied firmly.

    Line Yuxuan was still a little suspicious, looked carefully at Fatty Lu and found that it did not seem to be a fake, and considering that Fatty Lu's family has been passed down for several generations with only one only son, since Fatty Lu dared to swear on such a single seedling, it proved that the oath was most likely not true.  Fake.  So after Yu Xuan grabbed Fatty Lu's ear again, he finally let go of Fatty Lu's poor ear, which was so red and swollen that it was almost like a pig's ear, and muttered: "That's so weird, that shameless Kong Sizhen  Woman, why do you look at you with such eyes? You look like a fat pig, and you can still seduce a woman back?"

    "What kind of eyes does Kongsi bitch look at me?" Fatty Lu rubbed his red and swollen ears and asked casually, moaning.

    "Of course it's the way she looks at the adulterer!" Line Yu Xuan gave Fatty Lu a look, and said angrily, "Didn't you notice today? When Kong Si**** secretly looked at you several times, his eyes were always staring at you."  Guang, the face named Xiong standing next to her looks at you as if he is jealous and dissatisfied, doesn't this prove that you, a fat man, have an affair with that bastard?"

    "Is there such a thing?" After being reminded by Lane Yuxuan, Fatty Lu realized that there was something wrong with today's situation. When Kong Sizhen looked at him before, nothing but hatred was in his eyes.  , but there seems to be something extra, and that handsome Kang Mazi's favorite minister Xiong Cilu, who obviously has no grievances with him in the past and has no hatred in the present, looks at him, but for no reason contains  The insidiousness and jealousy that can't be concealed by anything, seems a bit like Fatty Lu snatching away his wife and lover.

    "Yeah, why did this happen?" Recalling this, Fatty Lu couldn't help muttering to himself, "Could it be that bitch Kong Si took her oath seriously and must leave her Yunnan to me for the first time  ? On this point, do I"

    "What did you say?" Fatty Lu didn't wait.Only then did I regret it, the most painful thing in the world is this.  If God could give me another chance, I would say three words to that girl: I love you!  If I have to add a time limit to this love, I hope it is 10,000 years!  "

    Kong Sizhen stared at Fatty Lu, her beautiful eyes shone like stars, two tears suddenly leaked from the corners of her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Although I know you are lying to me, I am satisfied to hear what you said to me.  "

    Tears fell, and Kong Sizhen choked up and said, "Thank you, fat man! You liar!"  The biggest motivation.) (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 213: The Fatty Hero Saves the Beauty

    ?

    No matter how smooth-talking Fatty Lu is, how brilliant his tongue is, and how sweet-tongued he is, it's a pity that Kong Sizhen, who has had enough of Fatty Lu's suffering, refuses to be fooled for anything¡ªjust kidding, Fatty Lu claims  Three good things, but in reality, which one is not so wicked that black smoke rises from the ancestral grave?  Didn't you sell someone and ask someone to count the money for you?  Kong Sizhen, who was the first to be aware of this in the Qing court, would dare to be fooled again?

    Fortunately, our Lu Yifeng Lu Fatty Lu Sanhao has always been reasonable and kind-hearted. Seeing that Kong Sizhen has always refused to accept his love, let alone believe that he expressed his true feelings from the bottom of his heart, he neither questioned him excitedly nor pressed him.  Instead of throwing a tantrum, he was depressed and dejected and never said a word.  Kong Sizhen didn't speak anymore either, but just peeked at Fatty Lu's fat face, which was definitely not ugly, from time to time, thoughtfully.

    During such a stalemate, Sun Yanling, the green hat king, also returned to the living room, and really brought Fatty Lu the best food and wine that he could get in Wuchang City, and invited Fatty Lu to the table for dinner, but he didn't care about Kong Sizhen.  In the end, it was Fatty Lu who opened his mouth to invite Kong Sizhen reluctantly to sit at the table.  But at the banquet, Sun Yanling always ignored Kong Sizhen, as if such a person didn't exist at all¡ªbut to be honest, with Kong Sizhen's actions, no matter how Sun Yanling treated her, it was reasonable  , is not too much.

    "The relationship between husband and wife has reached this point, what's the point? It's better to break up earlier, it will be a relief for both parties,"

    Observing the indifferent relationship between Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen like passers-by, Fatty Lu sympathized with it, but also felt helpless for Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen. Their marriage is completely a typical political marriage.  Relying on Kong Sizhen's special identity, Kong Sizhen was born in a noble family in Qing Dynasty, and her talents and abilities far surpassed Sun Yanling's, but as a woman, she was unable to formally lead the army or take up important positions, and she had to use Sun Yanling to continue the blood of the Dingnan Palace and control the Dingnan Palace  old ministry.  Both parties want to leave each other, and neither can leave each other, so married life can only be described as suffering.

    "Wait a minute, why don't I use this to make some fuss?" Thinking of this, Fatty Lu's heart suddenly moved, and another wicked idea gradually surfaced in his mind.  After a hasty calculation, Fatty Lu hurriedly opened his mouth and said seriously: "Si Gege, the officer has a heartfelt statement, I wonder if Si Gege would like to listen to it?"

    When Fatty Lu spoke so seriously suddenly, Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen were inevitably taken aback. Sun Yanling immediately pricked up his ears, and Kong Sizhen replied softly: "Lord Lu, please enlighten me, I will listen with all my ears."

    "I don't dare to teach you." Fatty Lu said modestly, seriously: "I just think that Sun Junmen and Si Gege are husband and wife, the military gate is in the southwest, and Gege is in the capital, and the two places are thousands of miles apart.  It's hard on one side. Besides, Sun Junmen and Si Gege are not young anymore, and they should have a child. If this continues, how will the bloodline of Sun Family of Junmen and Gege's bloodline of Prince Dingnan continue?"

    "So, I'm so humble, I want to ask Si Gege to stay here, firstly, I can get along with Sun Junmen day and night, and secondly, I can take the opportunity to have a child, so that the bloodline of the Sun and Kongmen will not be cut off, wouldn't it be wonderful?"  Fatty Lu asked with a sincere expression.

    Sun Yanling's ashen heart was gradually rekindled with a glimmer of hope, and he secretly looked at Kong Sizhen's reply out of the corner of his eyes.  But Kong Sizhen was stunned at first, saying that he never thought that Fatty Lu would turn to surrender himself, and then his heart moved, thinking that he would be able to get along with Fatty Lu day and night in the future, and seeing each other every day, he would inevitably feel a little hot in his heart, but after thinking about it, he remembered  Old traitor Wu's indifference and hostility towards him, and the thought of staying with such a ruthless, ambitious, idiot like Sun Yanling, the light that flashed in Kong Sizhen's beautiful eyes quickly dimmed.

    "Thank you for your kindness, my lord." Kong Sizhen replied with a gloomy expression: "But my family is entrusted with the emperor's mission, and is also the first-class bodyguard in front of the imperial court. It is responsible for protecting the safety of the palace and emphasizing benevolence. Without the emperor's imperial decree, my family really dare not stay without permission."

    "Bang!" Sun Yanling slapped the table with a palm, stood up with a livid face, pointed at the door and shouted: "Then you get out now! Shameless bitch, you get out now and never come back!"

    "Sun Junmen, Sun Junmen, please calm down, calm down" Fatty Lu was anxious, and quickly got up to persuade him.  But Sun Yanling didn't listen, just slapped the table and yelled frantically: "Stinky bitch, get out! Get out now! Love to go there and never come back. Even if I live as a widower all my life, I will never want to die."  To see a stinky bitch like you!"

    If it were someone else who insulted Kong Sizhen like this, then Kong Sizhen would definitely just hate that person to the bone, without any mood swings.  But in fact her husband Sun YanlingLing suddenly pulled out the treasured knife on his waist, raised the knife and rushed towards Kong Sizhen, roaring heart-piercingly: "Bitch¡ª!"

    With the steel knife approaching, Kong Sizhen remained motionless, as if he was ready to die calmly, while Xiong Cilu, Zhou Peigong and others retreated quickly, fearing that they would suffer disaster from the fish pond.  Only our Fatty Lu, who did not know where a burst of courage came from, yelled "Sigege" and rushed forward, pressing Kong Sizhen under him, and blocked Sun Yanling's steel knife with his back for Kong Sizhen.

    "Bang!" In the gold and iron body, a steel knife suddenly stretched out to hold Sun Yanling's waist knife, the two knives intersected, and Sun Yanling's steel knife flew into the air.  When everyone was surprised and went to look at the person, they saw that the person holding Sun Yanling's steel sword was a cross-eyed soldier who never left Fatty Lu's side.  Hu Guozhu, Gao Dejie and others were all taken aback. They rushed forward, grabbed Sun Yanling together, and persuaded loudly, "Sun Junmen, Sun Junmen, calm down! Please calm down!"

    "Let go! Let me go!" Sun Yanling struggled desperately, and shouted with blood red eyes: "Let go of me! I will die with this bitch today! I will die with her!"

    "Yifeng, take Si Gege away!" Hu Guozhu shouted.

    "Si Gege, let's go!" Fatty Lu, who escaped from death and secretly regretted that he had gone too far, heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pulled Kong Sizhen up and ran out, but Kong Sizhen was like a puppet, not struggling at all, just letting Fatty Lu drag  Running to a place where there is no one, tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, but she kept holding back and refused to flow out of them.

    "Don't pull me! Don't pull me! I'm going to kill this bitch! I'm going to die with this bitch!"

    Amidst Sun Yanling's frantic and desperate howls, the faces of Kong Sizhen, such as Xiong Cilu, Zhou Peigong, Shang Zhixiao, and Geng Juzhong, either had blank expressions, or gloated, or secretly shook their heads regretting that Sun Yanling's knife just now hadn't been cut.  The scourge of Fatty Lu?  But none of them was willing to catch up with Kong Sizhen and express even symbolic advice and comfort.  But when Kong Sizhen looked back and saw this scene, the tears that had accumulated in her beautiful eyes finally slid down her cheeks, bit by bit, and slowly hit the cold land covered by white snow.

    "Crack!" He slapped Kang Mazi's handwritten warrant ordering Kong Sizhen to send people to kill Wu Yingxiong. The old traitor Wu went completely crazy, jumped up and patted the table, and shouted with bloodshot eyes, "Kangxi boy, the old man is with you!"  There are no two sides! If you don¡¯t avenge the killing of your son, this old man swears not to be a human! Swear not to be a human!¡±

    Kneeling on one knee in front of old traitor Wu, Hu Guozhu, Wang Shirong, Fatty Lu and several other hard-core lackeys of old traitor Wu dared not even take a breath.  The crazy roar of the old traitor Wu echoed, "Kangxi little pockmark! Little pockmark! Did this old man rape your mother, or your grandma? How shameless and despicable that he killed this old man's beloved son? You still have the face to redeem him!"  Back to your Prince Baylor, you have the face to frame Oboi as the old thief! You have the face to hand over Oboi¡¯s family to this old man! The most shameless and despicable person in the world is you, Kangxi little pockmark¡ª¡ª!  "

    "Kangxi boy, this old man is going to cut you into pieces, smash your bones into ashes! Dig out your whole family's heart and soul, and sacrifice to the spirit of my beloved son in heaven¡ª! Cough cough cough cough!"

    After all, the old traitor Wu is already an old man over sixty years old. Although his body has always been considered healthy, his mood suddenly fluctuated so violently. In addition to the dry air in the cold winter months, he couldn't help bending down and coughing violently while yelling wildly.  He coughed so hard that he was out of breath, his face turned gray and white, and he almost couldn't catch his breath and kicked his legs on the spot.  Hu Guozhu was so frightened that he quickly got up from the ground, rushed forward to give the old traitor Wu a hammer and rubbed his chest.  He ordered: "Hurry up, go to someone and invite my master Zhu Fangdan here."

    "Decree!" The guard guarding the door of the secret room agreed, and was about to turn around and go out, but the old traitor Wu waved his hand, coughed and ordered: "No need, the old man will not die yet."

    "Father-in-law, please ask Miracle Doctor Zhu to take a look at it for you." Hu Guozhu kindly advised: "Father-in-law, you are so old, even if you are not sick, please ask Miracle Doctor Zhu to check it to prevent any accidents."

    "There's no need to say it!" The old traitor Wu suddenly raised his voice, pushed Hu Guozhu away, straightened his back, gritted his teeth and said, "I will never close my eyes until I avenge my beloved son! You say, the old man is now  Do you directly play the banner of revenge for your son, or directly play the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming?"

    "My lord, please calm down." The old traitor Wu suddenly became so brave and determined, which shocked Wang Shirong and Hu Guozhu. Wang Shirong hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "My lord, of course we must avenge the blood feud of our son! But now is not the time."  Ah, our troops, horses, money, food and weapons are still far from enough, and we have no chance of winning if we rush to raise troops. According to the students, this matter can only be discussed in the long run"

    "It wasn't your son who died, of course you can make a long-term plan!" The traitor Wu roared with a livid face and red eyes, "The one who was killed was the old man's son, the old man's eldest son, the most promising and most reliable man.  son! Not your son, not your son!"

    Since Wang Shirong joined the old traitor Wu, it was the first time that he saw the old traitor Wu so angry, the first time he roared so angry at himself, he was so frightened that he sweated profusely, with his forehead on the ground, and he didn't dare to say anything anymore; Hu Guozhu's expression  It was even more embarrassing, he wanted to persuade but dared not persuade, Fatty Lu was also in extreme difficulty, he was opposed to hastily raising troops but he couldn't find anything to persuade old traitor Wu.  But Fatty Lu is still Fatty Lu. After turning his eyes, he immediately stood up and said loudly: "Grandfather is right. The hatred of killing a son is not shared. How can we stop here? According to the grandson-in-law, grandfather should immediately  Call in the troops, directly use the banner of revenge for your son, go to Beijing, and capture Aixinjueluo's family alive! Avenge for your son!"

    Finally, one of his confidants agrees with his opinion, so the old traitor Wu inevitably showed joy, while Hu Guozhu and Wang Shirong over there were scared out of their wits, fearing that the old traitor Wu would do stupid things under the instigation of Fatty Lu, causing a catastrophe and ruining the good situation with one hand  .  Hu Guozhu, who didn't dare to speak harshly to the old man Wu, finally caught the reason for the attack, and immediately pointed at Fatty Lu and shouted: "Fart! Immediately kill Aixinjueluo's family in Beijing alive? Where are our soldiers and horses? Cross the river  Where do we come from for our warships? Where do we get our food, grass and military pay? Where do we get our weapons and firearms?"

    "What is it without these?" Fatty Lu retorted loudly: "Without weapons and firearms, we have southwestern soldiers who share the same hatred, each of them can be used as ten, and each of them can be used as a hundred! Even without the support of firearms, we can still kill a lot of dogs  Dead bodies are scattered all over the field, and blood flows like rivers! There are no warships to cross the river, we can use civilian boats, we can use ô¿ô¾ (small boats), we can use bamboo rafts, and we can still cross the river! Our athletes in the Pingxi Palace work together to wipe out the dog water  Master is as easy as turning the palm of your hand!"

    Fatty Lu said it so easily, Hu Guozhu's nose was almost crooked, and he was extremely angryFatty Lu, who was favored by the old man Wu, put his tail between his legs, bowed and bowed to every civil and military official of the Wu army, flattered his mouth like honey, for fear of arousing the envy and dissatisfaction of everyone, and fought with every civil and military official of the Wu army.  Officials are fighting fiercely.  While Xiong Cilu, Zhou Peigong and others hated him, they couldn't help secretly admiring Fatty Lu's slippery sophistication - he was able to climb to this position in just a few years without attracting the envy and hostility of many colleagues.  Really not many.

    At this time, something happened that stunned everyone¡ªWang Xu, the Minister of the Ministry of War of the Qing Dynasty, who had a close relationship with Fatty Lu, suddenly walked up to Fatty Lu.  Fatty saluted each other, and when Fatty Lu hurriedly saluted and bowed, Wang Xu suddenly knelt down to Fatty Lu and bowed!

    "Brother Zizhuan, what are you doing?" Fatty Lu was even more frightened, and quickly knelt down on his knees, screaming: "Brother Zizhuan, you can't speak well if you have something to say, do you want to beat me to death?  ?¡±

    "Brother Sanhao, Brother Yu, I beg you." With tears in his eyes, Wang Xu choked up and begged  Your support is my greatest motivation.) (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com

    "Three good virtuous brothers, I beg you, Brother Yu." With tears in his eyes, Wang Xu choked up his begging, then kowtowed heavily to Fatty Lu, choked up and said: "Brother Yu is not talented, I know that I am no match for Brother Yu, so Brother Yu"

    "Brother Zizhuan!" Fatty Lu is not stupid, and he will not be forced into a desperate situation, so he hurriedly said loudly: "If brother Zizhuan is only doing it for personal affairs, then even if brother Zizhuan wants the head of the younger brother, the younger brother will not be killed."  Immediately offer it with both hands! But if Brother Zizhuan is doing it for official business, please don¡¯t be so respectful. As a minister of the Qing Dynasty, a subordinate of Prince Pingxi, and the parent official of the people of Qujing, if it is related to the interests of the people of the Southwest Daqing and the Pingxi Palace  If you make a concession to brother Zizhuan, then the younger brother will be sorry to the king of heaven and earth, and the common people below! Although the younger brother is not talented, he still dare not do it!"

    "Three good brothers" The thousands of words accumulated in Wang Xu's heart were all choked at once, and his voice became even more choked.  All the civil and military personnel in the Pingxi Palace next to him nodded their heads one after another, and their affection for Fatty Lu was revived¡ªwhat do you call a good colleague?  Those who do not sell the interests of the collective are good colleagues!

    "Brother Zizhuan, it seems that I guessed it right." Fatty Lu sighed, and asked: "Brother Zizhuan wants my younger brother to make concessions on the issue of military pay and food, please forgive me and let Zizhuan  Brother, can you go back to Beijing for a business trip?"

    Wang Xu wept, silently nodding his head in acknowledgment.  Fatty Lu sighed again, slowly drew out the sword on his body, put the sword in front of Wang Xu with both hands, and said solemnly: "Brother Zizhuan, you have the grace of saving my life, and you will be reborn if you don't repay this favor.  It is injustice; but if the younger brother betrays Pingxi Wangfu to repay brother Zizhuan's great kindness, it will be disloyal! Loyalty is difficult to have both, and I really don't know how to choose, the only way is to ask brother Zizhuan to behead the younger brother, so that the younger brother  To repay brother Zizhuan's great favor, there is no need to bear the name of infidelity. Brother Zizhuan, tell me, is it you who will do it, or let the younger brother do it himself?"

    "Brother Mihao, what are you kidding" Wang Xu asked in shock, "No matter how incompetent Brother Yu is, he wouldn't persecute Brother Yu like this, right?"

    "Brother Zizhuan is wrong, little brother is definitely not joking." Fatty Lu shook his head, and said solemnly: "On the contrary, little brother is very serious. If brother Zizhuan continues to force me to sacrifice Pingxi Palace to repay my great kindness, then little brother can't,  I have no choice but to die and apologize to brother Zizhuan."

    After all, Fatty Lu really had a horizontal sword in his hand, and he was about to slay himself when he put it on his fat neck, which scared Wang Xu and Line Yuxuan next to him to pale with fright, and everyone in the Pingxi Palace around them also screamed.  , hurriedly rushed forward, hurriedly held down Fatty Lu's fat hand, and forcibly snatched away Fatty Lu's sword, Wang Xu even cried, "My dear brother, it's not right for Brother Yu, brother Yu shouldn't  For persecuting a virtuous brother like this, Brother Yu has lost the way of being a king! Brother Yu apologizes to you!" Crying, Wang Xu repeatedly kowtowed to Fatty Lu, pleading guilty desperately.

    "Brother Zizhuan, I'm the one who's sorry for you." Fatty Lu cried out, "Brother Zizhuan is on an imperial errand, and younger brother is on official duties, so I have to fight against brother Yu for their respective errands. My younger brother is ungrateful, and my younger brother deserves everything."  die¡ª¡ª!"

    Crying and shouting, Fatty Lu returned the salute with all his might, and everyone beside him sighed when they saw it, and they all admired Wang Xu and Fatty Lu for their loyal servants and gentlemanly demeanor.  Only Xiong Cilu, Zhou Peigong, Kong Sizhen and others sneered repeatedly, secretly calling Fatty Lu despicable and shameless, both a whore and an archway¡ªsuicide in front of so many lackeys of Pingxi Palace, it would be strange if they succeeded in committing suicide.  However, because of this, Xiong Cilu inevitably felt a lot of worry, and couldn't help but whispered to his former love rival Zhou Peigong next to him: "Please, this shameless Fatty Lu has a firm attitude and can speak tricks and tricks. What we want to do today  If you want to succeed, I¡¯m afraid you have to pass his level first.¡±

    "Xiong Zhongtang worried too much. According to his humble opinion, although this Fatty Lu was scary in the past." Zhou Peigong sneered and replied: "But today, there is nothing to worry about!"

    "How can you see that?" Xiong Cilu asked in surprise.

    "Haven't Zhongtang noticed?" Zhou Peigong replied with a sneer: "This fat man Lu is extremely smooth. In order not to attract envy, he deliberately behaves like a man with his tail between his legs and treats his colleagues servilely. Obviously he is afraid that his status will rise too fast and arouse the envy of his colleagues.  Hostile. Although this move is treacherous and effective, it also brings a bad result, that is, we dare not argue with our colleagues in front of our colleagues, let alone offend our colleagues and offend our superiors. The reason why we were helpless against him last time was because Wu Sangui was under the command of the old thief  , there is no capable person standing on our side, so he was lucky enough to succeed. But this time, is he as lucky as last time?"

    Xiong Cilu lowered his head in thought, and soon grinned, "Mr. Peigong is right. I heard that Fatty Lu was picked up by Wu Yingqi himself. Now Wu Yingqi has also stood by our side. I want to see, he  Do you have the courage to fight to the end with his official benefactor, the only son of the old thief Wu Sangui?" Zhou Peigong laughed even more ferociously in a low voice.General Jin Wu and Lord Lu messing around?  "

    "What do you want me to say?" Wu Yingqi finally spoke, strode up to Xiong Cilu, smiled at Xiong Cilu, and said, "In my opinion, brother-in-law and Yifeng are too weak. If it were me, it would have been a long time ago."  That's it-!"

    As he said that, Wu Yingqi suddenly swung his fist as big as a vinegar jar, and hit Xiong Cilu's face like lightning on the bridge of the nose with a flattering smile.  Called, "Second Prince, what are you doing?"

    The incident happened suddenly, including the old traitor Wu, who was shocked, jumped up and shouted, "Ying Qi, are you crazy? What are you doing?"

    "Father, my son, please look at something, and you will understand." Wu Yingqi replied loudly, raised his hand and clapped twice, and two guards of the old Wu traitor outside the door immediately carried them into a large box with a seal.  When Wu Yingqi tore off the seal and smashed the copper lock and opened it, a box full of gold, silver and jewelry was immediately revealed!

    "Father, you should understand by now why there are so many dogs who speak for the court today, right?" Wu Yingqi played with two hundred and five tempers, and shouted without restraint: "Because these dogs who eat and crawl around are all taken away."  I bought these things! These things were given by the dog thief Xiong Cilu!"

    "What?" The old man Wu turned pale with shock.  Xia Guoxiang and Wu Junzhong, civil and military, who had been speaking for Xiong Cilu before, all had purple faces. They never thought that Wu Yingqi, who is usually the most greedy, found his conscience at this fatal moment and turned against him!

    "Father, this is the list!" Wu Yingqi took out another stack of papers from his arms, held it up over his head, and said loudly: "Since my child pretended to be tricked, and after accepting bribes from the little man Xiong Zilu, I sent someone to secretly  Keep an eye on this bastard, he has bribed those people under your command, father, king, how much he bribed, and when he bribed, let people record clearly, father, please look at it!"

    "Bang!" Xia Guoxiang was the first to fall to the ground, foaming at the mouth.  The dozen or so Wu Jun civil and military officials who had ghosts in their hearts also quickly knelt down, with their foreheads on the ground, and their bodies were dripping with cold sweat, not even daring to take a breath!

    "Boom!" The old man Wu overturned the book case in front of him, pointed at Wang Xu with a livid face and yelled, "Son Wang Xu, this is your life name? This is your sincerity in negotiating?!"

    Wang Xu's face turned blue, first turned blue, then turned white, and finally turned purple. Suddenly he raised his leg and kicked viciously on Xiong Cilu's lower abdomen who had just got up, causing Xiong Cilu to fall again.  Chaotian, then knelt down to the old traitor Wu, and said loudly: "My lord, the matter has come to an end, I have nothing to say, let the lord handle it! But I can swear to the sky, this matter is all thanks to the bear."  Behind the back of the subordinate officials, the subordinate officials did not know in advance!"

    "Grandfather, my son-in-law is willing to be your guarantor for Lord Wang!" Fatty Lu hurriedly knelt beside Wang Xu, and said loudly, "My son-in-law would like to swear on the head of his master, that with the character of Lord Wang, he would never commit such a dirty and dirty act."  All the dirty things are done by the villain Xiong Cilu alone. Grandpa, please don't blame others for the fault of the villain, and miss the peace agreement."

    "Father-in-law, what Yifeng said is justified, please think twice." Hu Guozhu also hurriedly stood up, "My son-in-law also believes that with Mr. Wang's character and demeanor, he would never do such a despicable and shameless thing.  Anger for the crime of a villain, and missed the important event of the peace agreement!"

    "Second Prince, please say something." Fatty Lu turned his head and cupped his hands to Wu Yingqi and said, "Second Prince, please prove whether Mr. Wang participated in this matter?"

    "I" Wu Yingqi's poor brain pondered for a long time, finally came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Father, Yifeng is right, Wang Xu is still very honest, he didn't do this, and Xiong Cilu is very special."  Told me not to let Wang Xu know. Oh, yes, Xiong Cilu also told him that the eldest brother-in-law, Yifeng and Mr. Wang Shirong are all loyal to your father, and it is absolutely impossible for him to bribe you, so I am not allowed.  Let them know."

    "Don't let them know?" Kong Sizhen finally came to his senses, and sneered in his heart: "Fatty man, no wonder he acted so badly just now, so he dug a hole long ago and waited for Xiong Cilu to jump! Let Wu Yingqi, the 250, be a cannonball  Zhizi offends people, and you hide behind and pretend to be a good person, thanks to you for figuring out such a vile idea."

    Hearing Wu Yingqi's words, old man Wu's treacherous blackened face finally softened a little, and he snorted coldly: "He is smart, he bought my king's beloved son-in-law and beloved grandson-in-law, as well as my king's confidant adviser, court death!  Come here, beat Xiong Cilu out of Wuchang City with a stick, and don't let him dirty the ground of this king!"

    "Father, there are countless jewels beside Xiong Cilu! They are all ready to be given away after you get them." Wu Yingqi was shocked, and hurriedly reminded.

    "You are rewarded!" The old man Wu, who knew his son's money-greedy temper, yelled, "You took the man there yourself, copied all his luggage, and rewarded you no matter how much you found!  Who, with that face, came to the old man to get these things back!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 216: A New Page

    ?

    "I don't want to talk too much nonsense! I originally planned to make some concessions, but based on the attitude and sincerity shown by your imperial mission, I decided not to give in a single step!"

    "It's not that this king is unreasonable, it's that you are shameless and despicable first!"

    "Within three months from the signing of the peace agreement, the ransom of 24.5 million taels of silver for military pay and 3.5 million shi of grain must be delivered to the king as promised!"

    The rest must be paid within one year!  Before the 35 million taels of silver and 5 million shi are paid off, don't even think about this king releasing a prisoner of war!  "

    "By the way, don't think that the old man really dare not kill the prisoners! This made the old man anxious, don't even think that any of your bannerman prisoners of war will go home alive!"

    "You are responsible for all the consequences! This king has done his best and is magnanimous! It's you, shameless first¡ª¡ª!"

    Amidst the hysterical roar of old traitor Wu, Wang Xu, Ye Bilong and other envoys of the Qing Dynasty left the temporary camp in desperation, and left Wuchang City, escorting Xiong Cilu, who was almost crippled by the Wu army soldiers, and the disgraced  Returning to Hanyang City on the north bank of the Yangtze River, he used six hundred miles to speed up his horse and report to Xiao Mazi who was far away in the capital about the dismal outcome of the second negotiation.  On the same day, the Wu army once again started to show off its strength at the Yangtze River Fort, firing hundreds of artillery shells to sink two Miqing warships.

    The distance from the capital city of Mite Qing is quite far, so let¡¯s not talk about the reaction for now. On Wu Jun¡¯s side alone, while driving away the Mite Qing mission, there are eleven former old Wus who appeared on Wu Yingqi¡¯s list.  The traitor's confidantes were all temporarily deprived of all rights by the old traitor Wu, and sent to prison to wait for questioning, and the bribe money they received from Xiong Cilu was also used by the old traitor Wu on the suggestion of Hu Guozhu, Fatty Lu and Wang Shirong.  The reward was given to Wu Yingqi who had a rare discovery of conscience.

    At the same time, several important civil and military officials of the Wu army who were publicly exposed by Wu Yingqi for accepting bribes from Xiong Cilu also suffered bad luck. All the civilian officials were dismissed from their official posts and went home to study behind closed doors.  Quan, the direct line army was broken up by the anger of the old traitor Wu, and half of it was reorganized and distributed to several important cronies who had shown loyalty in this matter. The direct line army directly under Fatty Lu also reached a giant of eight thousand  !  ¡ª¡ªDon't underestimate this number. The total strength of the old traitor Wu is only about 200,000. Fatty Lu, who has just been under the command of the old traitor Wu for five years, can get such a large share of the star-studded Pingxi Palace  Cakes are already quite difficult.

    Fatty Lu would not want the old traitor Wu's trust and army in vain. On the same day, he put forward a proposal to write the original text of the peace treaty between Wu Jun and the Qing army, as well as Xiong Cilu's actions in Wuchang City, and print it as a leaflet.  , Distributed through various channels, and written as a plain text memorial, published through the official post of the Qing court, so that everyone in the world can take a look at what Xiao Mazi's favorite ministers have done, shameless deeds!  In a rage, the old traitor Wu agreed without hesitation, and followed suit!

    The big problem was finally kicked back to Kang Mazi's side.  And when things have come to this point, even the most stupid people can see that the old traitor Wu has been completely enraged by the Qing court.  It's compensation for the military salary and food for the old traitor Wu to pacify the old thief Oboi, rather it is a ransom demanded of more than 50,000 mite soldiers and more than 20,000 mite people!  Even if Kang Mazi pays as promised, it is a foregone conclusion that the war between the Wu army and the Qing army will resume in the future!

    By the way, if the Qing court tore up the peace treaty and broke its promise, then the Qing court would lose not only the 50,000 elite troops and the more than 20,000 Eight Banners parasites that the Qing court relied on as the foundation of its rule, but also the Qing court and Kang Mazi  Prestige, authority, reputation and credibility!  Can such a loss be tolerated by Kang Mazi who just overthrew Oboi and took power for the first time and lost all face?

    "Useless trash! Idiot! Shameless, incompetent, and useless! Extremely trash! My fame in this lifetime has been implicated by you, a dog slave!"

    After watching the hysterical roar of the pseudo-dragon case for a long time, Kang Mazi, who couldn't get rid of his anger, picked up Wang Xu's six-hundred-mile express report, threw it heavily on the ground, and shouted: "The decree, the six-hundred-mile rush to Wang Xu."  Xu, tell him not to bring Xiong Cilu back, and just tell Xiong Cilu to go back to his hometown in Nanchang, and never use it again!"

    "Masterforgive me for being bold." Suo'etu kowtowed and said tremblingly: "The slave thinks that the punishment of Xiong Cilu seems inappropriate."

    "Why, do you think I punished him too severely?" Kang Mazi knew that Suo'etu and Xiong Cilu had a close friendship, and also said that Suo'etu was planning to intercede with Xiong Cilu, so he couldn't help asking angrily with squinting eyes.

    "The master misunderstood, the slave would never dare to do this."This is my last old friend. If anything goes wrong, I will be lonely!  Ha ha ha ha¡ª¡ª!  "

    Amidst the wild laughter of the traitorous old man Wu, group after group of Miqing prisoners of war boarded the boat and sailed to the north bank of the Yangtze River where the wind and snow were blowing, box after box of real gold and silver and bags of  The rice and wheat were lifted out of the boat and piled up in the open area guarded by Wu Jun's soldiers, gradually piled up into mountains and converged into the sea.

    Every soldier of the Wu army and every commoner in the Southwest are beaming, because they know that they can rest assured and be well-off this year.  Every Qing army soldier and Qing army civilian husband is downcast, because they know that this year's life is difficult for them, and whether they can have a full meal in the army is probably a big problem.

    The snow cleared and the clouds parted, and the winter sun shone on Fatty Lu's face. The red light on his fat face with a happy smile seemed brighter than the sun.  Fatty Lu uttered a vulgar and nonsensical sentence, "The wheel of history has finally turned to a different track and turned a new page." (To be continued.

 Chapter 217 The Accomplice Arrives

    ?

    (ps: The construction party dug up the cable, causing the network to be interrupted-10000 explained it this way, and it was a few miles to walk to the Netcom of a friend's house to upload, so it was late.)

    ? Truce: The state in which the two warring parties cease hostile military operations.  It is generally implemented through a negotiated agreement.  There are partial and comprehensive, limited and indefinite points.

    Basically, the so-called truce agreement reached between the Pingxi Palace and the Qing court is a typical example of a limited-term truce, and it is also a typical example of a temporary friendship after the power is exhausted and the force is exhausted.  More typically, no matter which side it is, they don't know how long the truce period will last, when the war will resume, let alone which side will be the first to start the war again, and when it will start the war.  ¡ª¡ª Regarding this point, whether it is Kang Mazi, the chief of the Qing court, or the old traitor Wu, who is the leader of the Pingxi Palace, they all cook dumplings in teapots, and they know it well.

    Of course, not everyone has such a calm and sober mind. There are some at the Qing court, and there are many at Wu Jun's side. Wu Yingqi, the second son of the old traitor Wu, is one of them.  After receiving 70% of the army's salary and food as the down payment from the Qing court, Wu Yingqi, who was in full bloom, proposed a suggestion to the old traitor Wu, suggesting that all the fertile land in the Huguang grain-producing area that Wu Jun finally snatched from the Qing court should be planted.  Opium, in order to make huge profits at the end of the year!

    Fortunately, the old traitor Wu is still alive at this time, and there are still people who can stop Wu Yingqi's rampant behavior. Wu Jun is not harmed by Wu Yingqi, but of course Wu Yingqi was also scolded bloody by the old traitor Wu.  After he made a great contribution to Xiong Cilu's bribery of Wu Jun's important ministers last time, the old traitor Wu will definitely have to slap this idiot son a few times.  In the end, it was Fatty Lu who stood up to smooth things over and suggested that Baqi ointment was very effective in healing wounds on the battlefield and could be planted properly. Then the old traitor Wu allowed the people in Guizhou and Yunnan, which did not produce much food, to plant it by themselves¡ªbut also posted notices to warn repeatedly,  Warn that the price of Baqi ointment will plummet within the year, and the price of grain will inevitably soar. It is recommended that the people plant according to the ratio of three ointment to seven ointment.

    Wu Yingqi is definitely not the only one who is slack. After receiving the arrears of military pay and rewards, the entire Wu army is obviously a little slack. Gambling is common in the barracks. Countless soldiers gather to gamble day and night, and their daily training is perfunctory;  The families of the common people were destroyed, and many women could only do some dusty things to make a living, and their main customers were naturally Wu Jun soldiers who happened to have some spare money in their hands. Brothels and brothels bloomed everywhere near the Wu Jun camp, causing countless soldiers to sneak out in the middle of the night  Leaving the barracks, he went to the Fengyuechang near the abandoned village to let off steam, and his morale fell severely. The discipline of the army, which was far superior to the Qing army in the past, is also quickly catching up with the Qing army.

    Faced with such a situation, the old traitor Wu, Hu Guozhu, and Fatty Lu were all brain-dead, and had to issue strict orders to prohibit all-night gambling and sneaking out of the barracks to buy sex. For this reason, nearly a hundred Wu army officers and soldiers were arrested and severely punished  , although this move has also received some effects, but the fighting spirit of the army is still inevitably slackened, and the spirit is far from keeping up with the original 100,000 troops who came out of Yungui.  Even Fatty Lu's military discipline, which Fatty Lu was so proud of, was greatly affected. There was a situation where he left his post in the middle of the night to gamble and whore, and Fatty Lu was so angry that he personally whipped a few unlucky guys who were caught.  He was forced to strengthen the supervision of the army to prevent his direct descendants from completely degrading.

    Fortunately, this is a worse world. The morale and discipline of the old traitor Wu's army is lax, and the situation on the other side of the Qing army is even worse, and the nature is even worse.  In the first month of the 12th year of Kang Mazi, the army committed hundreds of atrocities of raping civilian women. At the same time, due to the serious problem of arrears of military pay, the phenomenon of soldiers fleeing and robbing robbers emerged endlessly, and they were repeatedly prohibited.  So relatively speaking, the situation of Wu Jun, who is not yet extremely bad, is even better.

    In early February, the two riverside forts built by the Wu army were completed. They were located in the north of Wuchang City and at the mouth of Dongting Lake respectively. It was planned to set up hundreds of heavy artillery pieces each. The purpose was naturally to block the Yangtze River waterway, harass the Qing army¡¯s waterway transportation, and protect the rear grain production areas.  However, Wu Jun's firearms and equipment are too scientific, focusing on field battles and despising fortifications. There is a serious shortage of red cannons that can shoot ten miles.  In front of Fatty Lu, a firearms expert.  Fatty Lu, who was extremely reluctant to leave the decision-making level of the Wu army, had no choice but to pack his luggage and prepare to rush to the newly built Jiqishan Firearms Battalion, where he would guide the craftsmen to build heavy artillery equipment forts.

    Before leaving, when he bid farewell in front of old traitor Wu, Fatty Lu took the opportunity to put forward a vicious suggestion that he had been planning for a long time, and told old traitor Wu: "Grandfather, according to my grandson-in-law, our army's fighting spirit and military discipline  If we continue like this, I'm afraid it will affect our army's future comprehensive counterattack.sp; "Okay, I finally see King Pingxi." The beggar clapped his hands, then hurried to pull the old traitor Wu's hand, and asked impatiently: "My lord, my name is Xu Zhengming, is there a man named Xu Zhengming in your palace?"  Lu Yifeng's? I want to see him."

    "What did you see him for?" Old Wu treacherously shook off the beggar's dirty hands.  Fatty Lu, who was ignorant and ignorant, was at a loss. He couldn't remember whether there was a famous person named Xu Zhengming in history.

    "I want to ask him for advice to see what his flying boat looks like." The beggar Xu Zhengming explained: "In order to meet him, I traveled thousands of miles, begging for food and walking here from Wu County.  I just want to meet him, and I want to see the airship he built with my own eyes."

    "Bold madman!" Old traitor Wu was furious, and shouted: "The airship is the top secret of my army. What are you? You want to see it if you want to see it?"

    "It turned out to be called an airship, no wonder I think it's so awkward to call it an airship." Xu Zhengming was not afraid of being overjoyed, and said with a smile: "My lord, in fact, your airship is really nothing special, because I have already built one that can be used before you.  The jujube flying car that takes people to the sky, but the road is too far away, and I can't bring it."

    "The Jujube Speeder? The world's first helicopter?" Fatty Lu finally came to his senses, and quickly jumped out and asked, "What did you say? You built the Jujube Speeder? What evidence do you have?"

    "I brought the engineering drawings here." Xu Zhengming took out a stack of sweat-smelling drawings from his arms.  Fatty Lu was trembling with excitement, he quickly snatched it up, opened the drawing and looked at it carefully, Xu Zhengming urged impatiently: "My lord, have you finished reading it? Can you let me see Lu Yifeng? In order to see  He, Dai Zi recommended me to be an official, but I didn't"

    "Mr. Xu¡ª¡ª!"

    Xu Zhengming's words are destined to be unable to finish completely, because after Fatty Lu roared, a tiger pounced on Xu Zhengming, who was covered in mud and his face was covered with mud, and Xu Zhengming screamed like a pig in fright, but Fatty Lu  He hugged him tightly, turned around and yelled at the old traitor Wu: "Grandfather, the genius has arrived! The real genius has arrived! With him here, our rockets will be more powerful, and there will be more airships. My grandson-in-law has never been able to build one."  The breech-loading muskets and gas bombs can also be manufactured! Our Jiqishan firearms camp finally has a chief craftsman!"

    "Really?" The old traitor Wu was both delighted and surprised, pointing at Xu Zhengming and asked in doubt: "This beggar? Is he so powerful?"

    "Absolutely!" Fatty Lu let go of Xu Zhengming, picked up the blueprint of the speeding car, and pointed out to old traitor Wu.  He is a genius among craftsmen, a genius among geniuses! With his help, the grandson-in-law can make all the weapons that the grandson-in-law told his grandfather before!"

    "Really?" The traitorous old Wu Wu, who doesn't see anything famous, was skeptical, but considering that his grandson-in-law has always been prudent and never talks nonsense, he immediately ordered: "Quickly, prepare the banquet, clothes and bathtub.  After taking a shower and changing clothes, sir, I will invite him to the reception hall, and the king will personally entertain him."

    "Decree." The guards around agreed, and hurried forward to invite Xu Zhengming, but Xu Zhengming shook his head desperately and said, "My lord, you can talk about things like banquets and changing clothes slowly. I just want to see Lu Yifeng now. I'm thousands of miles away."  Lu begged for food and came here just to see him."

    "You have already seen him." Old man Wu smiled wryly, and pointed at Fatty Lu, "He is my grandson-in-law, you want to see that Lu Yifeng!"

    Fatty Lu also smiled at Xu Zhengming, and was about to salute. He never thought that Xu Zhengming would also rush up like a tiger, hugged Fatty Lu, and shouted: "Lu Yifeng, I finally saw you! Tell me quickly, you  How could the airship bring four people into the sky?" Fatty Lu, who was almost breathless, struggled desperately, but Xu Zhengming refused to let go no matter what he said.

    "It's over, it's the first time I wear the clothes that Yu'er made for me, and Yu'er has to peel off my skin this time." Fatty Lu lamented.  The Wu Jun guards next to them all looked at each other in dismay, and thought together: "No wonder there are rumors that Mr. Lu likes women more than men-it turns out to be true!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 218: Monarch and Subject Reunited

    ?

    In all fairness, although Fatty Lu is known as the number one firearms expert in the Pingxi Palace, he can also create gunpowder weapons far beyond this era, but the craftsmanship and craftsmanship of these weapons are really hard to compliment. For example, Wu Jun's  The field weapon rocket, because Fatty Lu¡¯s craftsmanship is not enough to pass the test, and the apprentices brought out by bad teachers and bad apprentices are not much better there, resulting in an outrageous launch rate.  Launching is completely based on luck and blindness. There are endless jokes about aiming at the enemy's flag array but hitting the enemy's flanks, which makes Lu Fatty troubled and loses face.

    There is also Wu Jun's magical airship at the bottom of the box. Because Fatty Lu is not good at machinery, even on a clear and windless day, the speed of the airship in the sky is less than twenty miles per hour-the same as that of later generations.  Compared with the speed of an airship with a hand-operated propeller at more than ten kilometers per hour, this speed is like a snail crawling.

    Also, the Wu Jun airship needs to release part of the hydrogen to land, but because Fatty Lu came out with a bad air pump made by a group of third-rate craftsmen, the landing speed of the Wu Jun airship is also pitifully slow, usually requiring four airship soldiers to work hard  It took more than half an hour to turn the fan to make the airship land, so that Wu Jun's airship did not dare to fill it with hydrogen when it was inflated, let alone fly too high. Fortunately, the Qing army always regarded the airship as a fetish and feared it.  The mother-child artillery that could seriously threaten the safety of the airship was also seized by Wu Jun early on. Otherwise, whether the three airships that Wu Jun spent a lot of money to build can still be kept until now is a question that no one can say for sure.

    In addition, because of Fatty Lu's craftsmanship and the technological limitations of this era, some weapons that Fatty Lu knows the principles and formulas, such as lathes, paper shell bullets, rear-loading rifles, gas bombs, and incendiary bombs for guns,  Fatty Lu with poor craftsmanship just can't make anything - but this can't be blamed on Fatty Lu. Fatty Lu is a top student in the chemical engineering department, not a mechanical one. He obviously doesn't have any talent in manufacturing, so he can achieve the current results  , it is quite difficult.

    Someone gave me a pillow when I was sleepy. Just when Fatty Lu was worrying about spending too much time and poor workmanship on improving weapons, a letter from Dai Zi, a talented craftsman who had already devoted himself to the Qing court, sent Fatty Lu a letter.  Xu Zhengming, an accomplice who is not well-known but not inferior to Dai Zi in craftsmanship, solved countless troubles for Fatty Lu at once, and let Wu Jun see a glimmer of hope for more sophisticated weapons. It can be said that Fatty Lu is like a tiger with wings, like a snake  Add teeth.

    After a long talk, Fatty Lu finally learned the details of the incident from Xu Zhengming. It turned out that at the end of August in the eleventh year of Kang Mazi, Xu Zhengming, who was known as the number one craftsman in Suzhou, suddenly received a message from Xu Zhengming who had heard about it for a long time.  In the letter, besides telling Xu Zhengming about the situation of Wu Jun's airship, the letter also invited Xu Zhengming to visit the capital to help the Qing court build an airship, and promised to recommend Xu Zhengming for an official position in front of Kang Mazi.  .

    But it is a pity that, unlike Dai Zi, who is quite famous and profitable, Xu Zhengming is a complete scientific lunatic. When his whole family can't even eat enough, Xu Zhengming is stunned in order to build a jujube flying car.  It was the rejection of the high-paying offer offered by the Quanzhou Workshop. After seeing Dai Zi¡¯s letter saying that Wu Jun had a flying boat that could carry four soldiers into the sky, Xu Zhengming naturally threw away the glory and wealth promised by Dai Zi immediately.  In the back of his head, without even saying hello to his wife and children, he set foot on the westward road alone, begging for food and inquiring about Wu Jun's location all the way, and after walking thousands of miles, he found Old Wu's treacherous army for  Wanting to see the majestic appearance of Wu Jun's airship with his own eyes, he asked Fatty Lu about the airship manufacturing process.

    After listening to Xu Zhengming's introduction of his situation, Fatty Lu laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He not only immediately agreed to let Xu Zhengming visit his airship, but also recommended an official position to Xu Zhengming to the old traitor Wu.  Not very cold, but for the sake of his grandson-in-law, Xu Zhengming was immediately canonized as the director of Gongcao and the chief craftsman of Jiqishan Firearms Camp.  But Xu Zhengming was obsessed with crafts, but he didn't want to accept this hard-won official position. In the end, Fatty Lu threatened that if Xu Zhengming didn't serve in Wu Junjun, then he wouldn't let Xu Zhengming see the airship, so Xu Zhengming honestly took it  Wu Jun's thief ship became Fatty Lu's chief deputy in the development of firearms.

    Just when Fatty Lu was ecstatic to have a powerful accomplice, at about the same time in Beijing, the three princes of the Qing Dynasty, Jieshu, Le Erjin and Shang Kexi, who were redeemed by Kang Mazi with money, also  Under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rituals, he entered the Forbidden City and kowtowed to Kang Mazi to thank Kang Mazi, the first big gift after returning to Beijing.  At the same time, Prince An Yue Le, who had been deprived of military power by Kang Mazi, also entered the palace at the same time¡ªhe was also received by Kang Mazi for the first time after returning to Beijing.

    "The servant waits for an audience with the order, and thanks my emperor for saving his life. ?Just act.  "

    "Then it's Shang Aiqing's hard work." Kang Mazi, who was eager to get rid of Fatty Lu or recruit Fatty Lu, made a decisive decision and said, "Kong Sizhen is the best at this kind of thing, and Shang Aiqing can discuss it with her tomorrow.  Let's see what help she can provide Ai Qing, and strive for success!"

    Note 1: Before the San Francisco Rebellion, the governor of Liangjiang, Malji, was quite well-known. He once asked for a decree to reduce taxes in Jiangnan by half, and withheld tax money to build water conservancy projects.  But because of the San Francisco rebellion, Malji refused to raise taxes on the people. Kang Mazi immediately devalued it on the pretext of his lack of political achievements, and replaced him with A Xixu, who is good at collecting money, as the governor of Liangjiang.  A Xixu kills the donkey, and dismisses him on the pretext of being too greedy.

    Note 2: In the history of the San Francisco Rebellion, in order to save money, Kang Mazi decreed in the 15th year of Kang Mazi to stop the salary of all local officials except Beijing officials until the San Francisco Rebellion was completely put down¡ªas for these places  Friends can guess what officials eat and wear during this period.

    Note 3: The old traitor Shang is good at amassing money, and he is the richest man in San Francisco. During the San Francisco rebellion, the Wu army surrounded Guangzhou City. Shang Zhixin was forced to surrender and rebel against the Qing Dynasty. Wu Jun also asked Shang Zhixin to help him pay millions of dollars.  300,000 taels¡ª¡ªbut according to "The History of Pingdian", before that, the old traitor Shang donated one million taels of military salary and silver to Kang Mazi in order to help Kang Mazi clean up the old traitor Wu!

 Chapter 219 Sadly Urges Yue Le

    ?

    I chatted for a while with a few hard-core lackeys who had finally spent money to redeem them. I saw that none of the hard-core lackeys were defeated by the shame and humiliation of being captured by the Wu army, nor did they lose their confidence and fighting spirit to lead the army to fight again.  Rushing to lead the army to conquer the Wu army again, Kang Mazi, who was already stretched in terms of dispatching troops and generals, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered: "Prince Kang, King Shunjun, King Pingnan, you three lovers kneel down first!"  Ann, go back to rest and wait for the will to arrange, I still have some things to talk to Prince An alone."

    "Long live the emperor, long live long live." Jie Shu, Monk Le Erjin and the old traitor did not dare to neglect, they got up and kowtowed together, and left respectfully, leaving Kang Mazi, uncle and nephew Yue Le in the Hall of Mental Cultivation  Private talk.

    There were no other outsiders present, but Kang Mazi was not in a hurry to speak. A pair of small scorched yellow eyes just stared at Yue Le closely. Under this kind of gaze like a poisonous snake staring at a frog, Yue Le, who had a clear conscience, had no reason.  Feeling flustered for a while, cold sweat seeped out of his forehead little by little, and slid down his cheeks drop by drop, drenching the brand new court clothes.  After such a long silence, Kang Mazi finally opened his mouth and called out, "Prince An."

    "Slave, the slave is here." Yue Le agreed in a panic, got up and knelt down on his knees even more panicked, but because he was too nervous, he almost tripped himself, and knelt down in front of Kang Mazi in embarrassment.  His sweaty forehead was pressed to the ground, and he didn't even dare to take a breath.

    "I just called you, but didn't say anything, why are you nervous, my lord?" Kang Mazi smiled, very satisfied with his awe-inspiring aura.

    "The emperor is mighty, the servant lost his temper, please forgive me." Yue Le replied tremblingly.

    "How could I care about such a trivial matter?" Kang Mazi smiled, then suddenly raised his voice and said, "But Prince An, I don't dare to ignore the rumors about you that have appeared in the people and the army recently.  .¡±

    "I'm going to die!" Yue Leru was struck by lightning, kowtowed desperately, and said in a crying voice, "I've heard about the rumors my master said, but I can swear to God, if I have such disobedience,  I am willing to be punished by heaven and earth, and die by being struck by five lightnings! These rumors were deliberately spread by the Wu Dog bandit army to drive a wedge between the master and the servants! Please learn from the master!"

    "Really?" Kang Mazi smiled, and asked again: "Then the Wu Dog bandits don't make rumors about others, but they want to make rumors about you? Tu Hai is the front-line commander, holds the military power, and Prince Jane is also on the front line  Why didn't Wu Gou create rumors about them when they were leading the army alone? Prince Kang and King Shunjun were already in Wu Gou's hands. Why didn't the old thief Wu Sangui use them to make a fuss about you? Why did he focus on you?  "

    "Your servant doesn't know either!" Yue Le wanted to cry without tears, kowtowed desperately, and defended, "I really don't know why the old thief Wu Sangui attaches so much importance to this servant, but he wants to spread rumors from him. I don't understand, this servant!"  I really don't know!"

    "I'm afraid that the flies don't stare at the seamless eggs?" Kang Mazi sneered loudly, and asked, "Prince An, I'm here to ask you, when you and the traitor Aobai led the troops southward, did you ever say in front of Aobai¡ª¡ª  You are lenient on the outside and jealous on the inside, like him, you are a wronged minister who is suspected by me. You must act carefully, so as not to arouse my suspicion and jealousy even more? Now, I would like to ask you personally, what exactly is my suspicion of you?  Do you doubt your point? When my father and emperor passed away, did you cut off your auxiliary government power?"

    Yue Le was completely frightened, limp on the ground and trembling all over, as if he was shaking, he never thought that the few complaints he and Ao Bai said in private would reach Kang Mazi's ears  .

    "Don't you have anything to say?" Kang Mazi smiled proudly at his cousin, and asked again: "I'll ask you again, when Oboi's traitor sent troops, the designated deputy was General Fuyuan Tuhai. Why did he arrive in Yunnan and Guizhou?  The border suddenly promoted you to be the deputy commander of the whole army, leaving aside Tu Hai, and adjudicating important military affairs with you alone?"

    Yue Le opened his mouth. He originally wanted to explain that Oboi found out that the leader of Tuhai likes to disturb the people, and also found out that Tuhai sent people to spy on Oboi, and also found out that he and Oboi had similar interests in leading the army.  He made a temporary decision, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered that Tu Hai secretly monitored Oboi was instructed by Kang Mazi, so he quickly closed his mouth again¡ªthis time, he said such words, not to force the ruthless Kang  Mazi cut himself what?

    In desperation, Yue Le had no choice but to kowtow again, and said with tears in his eyes: "The death penalty for the servant is only because the servant is weak in nature, good at flattery, and pleases the traitor Aobai, so the old thief Aobai made a temporary adjustment, so that the slave and the slave  Tuhai exchanged positions, the slave flattered the thief, and deserved to die. But the slave can swear to the sky, the slave has the courage of the sky,The first-class firearms craftsmen borrowed from the Raksha Kingdom could not produce the new gunpowder and new firearms that Wu Jun showed his might on the southwest battlefield.

    One night more than a month later, when Kang Mazi was worried about the new firearms, Kong Sizhen, the number one spy under Kang Mazi's command, reported to Kang Mazi the latest official movements as usual.  Kong Sizhen asked: "Pingnan King, is there any news? How is the person you sent to assist him in trapping Lu Yifeng's wife and children?"

    "The slave sent someone to assist King Pingnan in trapping Lu Yifeng's wife and children?" Kong Sizhen was stunned, and asked in surprise, "When did it happen? Why doesn't the slave remember that the master made such a decree?"

    "What? You don't know about this?" Kang Mazi was also taken aback, and said in doubt: "It was the first month of last month. I agreed with King Pingnan to trap Lu Yifeng's wife and son, and I told him to let him  Please give me some pointers to help him handle this errand, why, Prince Pingnan didn't ask you for advice?"

    "No?" Kong Sizhen's head was full of bewilderment, and it took a long time to wake up, and exclaimed: "I understand, it must be that Prince Pingnan is arrogant and thinks that he can handle this job well, so he didn't ask the slave  Bring it up."

    "It's possible. With Prince Pingnan's temper, such a thing can be done." Kang Mazi also came to his senses, and secretly scolded the old man Shang for being a traitor and underestimating the enemy.  If you ask for advice, forget it! Remember, this matter must be kept secret, if it is leaked, be careful of your head!"

    "Cover." Kong Sizhen respectfully agreed, but was hesitating in her heart¡ªshould I inform that fat man about this matter?

    "Why don't you kneel down?" Seeing that Kong Sizhen didn't kneel down as usual, Kang Mazi couldn't help laughing lewdly, and asked, "Do you want my favor again? If so, kneel down, I just used deer blood,  Come and give me a flute."

    "Shameless!" Kong Sizhen cursed inwardly, kneeling helplessly in front of Kang Mazi's seat, using both hands and mouth, he began to move with shame and humiliation, while thinking in his heart, "Wow, I didn't expect that old bastard Shang Kexi to hit me crookedly.  You lied to me, so I didn't have time to prepare in advance. I haven't found that crazy person yet, and I don't have anyone reliable around me, so I'll report to the dead fat man directly. If the news leaks, I don't want to say revenge. Can I save my life?  , I am afraid it is a big problem."

    "Fatty man, why should I risk my head to save your wife and son?" With a flattering and charming smile on her pretty face, Kong Sizhen, who has always been selfish, suddenly had a bad thought in her heart, "You fat man, don't you hate me?"  Is the old lady dirty? The old lady has treated you like that, and you don¡¯t even want to look at the old lady. If this is the case, why should the old lady risk her life for your wife and son? Besides, if you really trust the old lady, you should give it to me.  The old lady provided a direct contact channel so that the old lady can provide you with the news safely, did you do this in the end?"

    Thinking about this, Kong Sizhen suddenly remembered another thing - just yesterday, the spy of the Thirteenth Yamen reported to him that there was information showing that there used to be a lay steward named Yang Qilong in the Great Buddha Temple in the capital, who once worked for Wu Yingxiong in the capital.  Secretly purchased two shops to set up the Eight Banners Fushou Cream Museum. Wu Yingxiong disappeared after being captured. Recently, he appeared in the Tangtai Mountain area in the northwest of the capital, and then disappeared again. It is suspected that he is spying on the Pingxi Palace. Would you like to use a lot of manpower and material resources to search?

    "Tangtai Mountain in the northwest of the capital?" Recalling this, Kong Sizhen couldn't help but think of something again, "Isn't there also a temple there? It seems to be called Dajue Temple, right? Since Yang Qilong has worked as a layman in Dafo Temple, would he just  Hiding in the Dajue Temple? Am I right, take some time to go to Dajue Temple and try my luck?"

    "Ah!" At this time, less than half a hour later, Kang Mazi suddenly let out a comfortable roar, pressed Kong Sizhen's head firmly with both hands, and sprayed to his heart's content.  Kong Sizhen felt nauseous for a while, but she still had tears in her eyes and forced herself to swallow  It is my biggest motivation.) (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 220

    ?

    Dajue Temple is located on the side of Tangtai Mountain in the northwest of the capital.  The place of spiritual sustenance, the spiritual altar and Yintang that bless the mating and reproduction of the Tartars.  Afterwards, in the Arimei generation, the Daikaku-ji Temple had little incense and few people, and the temple gradually became dilapidated and almost deserted.  Thanks to the raging ghost winds, the Qing Dynasty restored the Central Plains. A few years ago, a mysterious pilgrim donated a lot of money to renovate, repair the walls, and build another hall.  It has also become the yearning place for the masters and wives of the Eight Banners, and the best choice for wild and incest.

    After tossing and hesitating for more than two days, Kong Sizhen finally found an excuse, leaving aside the lackeys of the Thirteenth Yamen, especially the eyeliner sent by Kang Mazi to monitor her, and dressed up as an ordinary folk young woman, carrying incense paper money and  Simple Sacrifice hired a carriage and came outside the Dajue Temple alone.  Fortunately, Kong Sizhen has often acted alone in order to spy on Kang Mazi's secrets over the years, so this action did not arouse the suspicion of Kang Mazi's eyeliner lurking beside Kong Sizhen.

    Although he came to the capital to settle down at the age of twelve, Kong Sizhen really came to Dajue Temple for the first time, and found that the scenery around Dajue Temple is quite beautiful. Tangtai Mountain is lush with trees, and it is already full of tender green just after spring.  Light yellow, not a bit bleak, the mountain breeze is blowing, slightly chilly but intoxicating, the mountain stream is clear and jingling, the birds are singing crisply, melodious and pure, and the Dajue Temple located in the green trees is even more beautiful.  The red walls and green tiles are majestic and majestic, as if in a painting.  Kong Sizhen, whose heart was ashamed, saw it, and couldn't help but feel moved, "In the future, if I can find such a place to shave my hair and become a nun, it would be a pleasure."

    Thinking of this, Kong Sizhen couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, secretly laughing that he was still too greedy, even if he decided to become a nun in the future, he was still coveting the place where he would be able to play and satisfy himself.  Red dust?  But after thinking about it, Kong Sizhen couldn't help but gritted his teeth at Fatty Lu again. The reason why he became what he is today is because that damned Fatty Lu was shameless and wicked and tore up his last fig leaf in front of his de facto husband.  , destroyed the last bit of my poor self-esteem, and made myself completely incompatible with the world, but in the end, I had to come to Dajue Temple to find a needle in a haystack for the safety of this fat man's wife and children. What is this called?  !

    "Fatty man, it depends on your luck!" Kong Sizhen couldn't help but muttered to himself in a low voice, "If my mother can find that Yang Qilong, and that Yang Qilong is really your spy, then your wife and son are lucky!  If I can't find that Yang Qilong, or if that Yang Qilong is not your secret agent at all, then I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do!"

    After talking to himself, Kong Sizhen cheered up and began to observe the surrounding environment, but saw that although the time was already past in the afternoon, there were still quite a few tourists on both sides of the mountain road leading to Dajue Temple, some of them were young men  He also looked up and down Kong Sizhen in a daze, and whispered some obscenities in his mouth.  In the past, Kong Sizhen might just cast a wink at him, and then took these apparently strong young men to the mountain to exchange feelings, but this time Kong Sizhen obviously didn't have such thoughts, just like an ordinary young woman,  He walked quickly with his head down and walked in small steps, leaving those young men whistling on the side of the road.

    Stepping up the relatively new bluestone steps, all the way to the gate of Dajue Temple on the mountainside, a monk who knew guests came to greet him. Kong Sizhen claimed that her husband¡¯s surname was Lu, and she came from a merchant family in the capital because her parents-in-law were older.  I was sick, so I came here to burn incense and pray for my in-laws' safety and longevity.  The Zhike monk did not doubt that he was there, so he hurriedly introduced Kong Sizhen into the hall to offer incense, and told him: "The benefactor, it's getting late, please go down the mountain and return to the city as soon as possible after offering incense, otherwise, once the city gate is closed, the benefactor will be killed tonight."  But you can¡¯t get into the city.¡±

    "Master Xie for your guidance, I will remember it." Kong Sizhen clasped his palms together to express his thanks, first he put offerings in front of the Buddha statue, lit the incense that he brought with him, kowtowed respectfully and prayed, and finally gave alms of two taels of silver, looking for an opportunity to ask the monk  He said: "Dare to ask this master, is there a layman surnamed Yang in your temple? He used to be a layman in the Dafo Temple in the capital. I heard that he has come to Dajue Temple now. I wonder if that is the case?"

    "A layman with the surname of Yang?" The monk who knew the guest was startled, and hurriedly clapped his hands together and replied: "The benefactor may be disappointed. The layman's surname of the small temple is Jiao, not Yang."

    "Then, among the lay disciples or temple workers, is there a Mr. Yang Qilong?" Kong Sizhen begged pitifully: "He is my natal cousin.  Home, now his biological mother is seriously ill, I hope he can go home as soon as possible to visit??I see you, it turns out that you are hiding under my nose, right beside me!  "

    "Si Gege, what are you talking about?" Yang Qilong asked in surprise: "Finally found him? This lunatic, who are you?"

    "It's the enemy who made me into this." Kong Sizhen's voice was so hoarse that he could hardly hear himself, "The enemy who raped me when I was twelve years old, the enemy who used my mouth as a chamber pot! It's also you!"  Enemy! Enemy of your son! Enemy of Prince Pingxi Mansion! Enemy of Han people all over the world!!"

    "Who the hell is he?!" Yang Qilong lowered his voice and exclaimed.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    It was night, and a middle-aged monk named Xingchi disappeared from Dajue Temple in Tangtai Mountain.  Two days later, his body was found in the dense forest twenty miles away. The body tied to the tree was skinned and cramped, the head was broken, the head, heart and liver disappeared.  The man was cut off with a knife, and his lower body was chopped into meat paste with random knives. There was a plaque on his chest with four big characters written in blood on it - what he deserved!

    ? On the same day, the imperial guards bloodbathed Dajue Temple. No one survived in the whole temple, and they were all killed by Ling Chi!

    Still on the same day, when the red-eyed Kang Mazi summoned Kong Sizhen to dispatch all the running dogs of the thirteen yamen to search for the murderer, he discovered that Kong Sizhen had disappeared and disappeared.  Kang Mazi dispatched countless people to search and search, but there was still no news of him, and he was nowhere to be found.

    Years later, when the Xingchi's head, heart and liver pickled with quicklime reappeared in the world, they appeared successively in Yangzhou, Jiading, Kunshan, Jiangyin, Changshu, Xing'an, Datong, Shuozhou, Hunyuan, Nanjing, Nanchang, Nanxiong, Chaozhou, Guangzhou  , etc., etc. In the countless Chinese cities, wherever they went, the people rushed to throw stones to quench their saliva, crying and shaking the sky.

 Chapter 221 Oiled Loach

    ?

    Several flowers bloomed, one for each branch. When Kang Mazi, Yue Le, Shang Kexi, Jie Shu, Le Erjin, Kong Sizhen and other chiefs, lackeys and traitors of the Qing court were busy in Beijing, old traitor Wu,  Hu Guozhu, Fatty Lu and other rebels, rebels and dog thieves in the Pingxi Palace naturally did not stay idle in the south.

    The time turned back a little, back to mid-February in the twelfth year of Kang Mazi. At this time, the Pingxi Palace had just been relieved from the busy spring plowing and sowing in the military and civilian settlements.  The site selection of the new palace is also on the agenda.  Some people, out of military considerations, suggested that the old traitor Wu should stay in Wuchang City for a long time. First, the scale of Wuchang City, which is divided into inner city and outer city, is inherently large, which is in line with the identity of the old traitor Wu. Second, it is convenient to command the most important crossing river.  On the battlefield, the third is that Wuchang is rich in products and sufficient food and grass, which is also suitable for stationing the main force.

    But there are also objections. For example, Wu Yingqi, on the pretext of being filial to his father, suggested that the old man choose the new palace in a safe area behind, such as Changsha, Hengzhou or Changde. They are all good places with abundant products, safety and comfort, and are most suitable for the old man.  Elderly care is also convenient for overall command¡ªas for Wuchang City, where customs duties can be collected and bilateral trade can be carried out by guarding the Yangtze River waterway, in such an important place, besides the loyal and lovely young son, who else can the old traitor Wu trust?

    Fortunately, old traitor Wu is not old enough to suffer from Alzheimer's disease. His most trusted confidantes, Hu Guozhu, Fang Guangchen and Wang Shirong, are also firmly opposed to letting Wu Yingqi take charge alone¡ªthey are really scared by Wu Yingqi's 250-year-old personality.  In addition, the old man Wu treacherously mourned the death of his beloved son and wanted to avenge his son, so he finally accepted the proposal of Hu Guozhu, Fang Guangchen and others, and decided to locate the new palace in Wuchang City.  At the same time, in order to facilitate the settlement of surrendered generals and some of their family members, the old traitor Wu decided to build a palace in Hengzhou.  land contact.

    Old Hanjian Wu's idea is certainly good, but according to Old Hanjian Wu's request, the construction costs of the two palaces that are as luxurious and spacious as the Wuhuashan Palace, and the construction costs of the large and small mansions of civil and military officials are estimated together.  Both Wang Shirong and Wang Shirong were taken aback¡ªit was as high as 6.5 million taels of silver!  Although Wu Jun can get this money now, he has invested huge sums of money in these areas. After the decisive battle with the Qing army in the coming year, what if the food and salary are not paid?  Can the Qing court still pay more than 20 million taels of silver to honor the old traitor Wu like it did at the beginning of this year?

    Of course, it¡¯s not that no one supports Old Traitor Wu¡¯s extravagant and desperate decision. At least the youngest son of Traitor Wu, Wu Yingqi, raised his hands in agreement, because the Second Prince Wu suddenly discovered that it seems that being a contractor can make a lot of money.  , so not only firmly supported, but also insisted on serving as a supervisor to build a retirement home for his father.  Dazzled by a series of military victories, many of the Wu army's top brass also supported and agreed, thinking that it was time for us to take down the five southwestern provinces with great difficulty following the old traitor Wu's birth and death.  We must also prepare for a long-term 'hard' battle.

    The father-in-law and brother-in-law are so short-sighted. Hu Guozhu wants to firmly oppose it, but he is afraid of being unfilial, and even more afraid of offending many colleagues.  .  In the end, Wang Shirong, who had always been at odds with Fatty Lu, came up with a bad idea, "Bring that cunning student, Mr. Mao Xia, back from Mount Jiji. With his treachery, slickness and eloquence, there must be a way to persuade the prince to take back his life and spend all his money."  On the blade!"

    "Yes, Yifeng can do it!" Hu Guozhu slapped his thigh, agreeing with Wang Shirong's opinion.  At present, Hu Guozhu wrote a letter overnight, briefly introducing the matter, and sent people day and night to the Jiqishan Firearms Camp, asking Fatty Lu to return to Wuchang as soon as possible, trying to persuade the old traitor Wu to change his decision and stick to a hard and simple style.  After the letter was delivered to Mount Jiqi, Fatty Lu was also taken aback. He hurriedly explained the work in hand, took the latest achievement he and Xu Zhengming had jointly created, and led a few entourages to return to Wuchang day and night.

    Hurrying all the way, finally did not waste time. When we returned to Wuchang City, it was the end of February in the twelfth year of Kang Mazi, because the spring plowing had just ended and there was a shortage of manpower, and the old traitor Wu's new palace had not yet started  Heaving a sigh of relief, Fatty Lu didn't dare to be negligent, he didn't even take time to take a look at his good friend Yu Xuanchu, he went directly to the temporary house that Wu old traitor snatched from Cai Yurong, the governor of the three provinces of the Qing Dynasty, and handed it over to him.  The waist card asked the old traitor Wu to be interviewed, and it was quickly approved.

    When being led by the guards of the old traitor Wu to the narrow back garden of the temporary residence, the old traitor Wu was leading a large group of cronies and cronies to drink tea and discuss matters in the gazebo.??The bolt pulled the trigger and hit the rockery again.

    Again and again, three shots were fired like lightning, and the generals of Wu Jun couldn't help cheering together. Ma Bao and Wu Yingqi's eyes were even brighter, and they quickly snatched the firing pin gun from Fatty Lu, and pretended to be the same as Fatty Lu.  Bounce and fire the gun, and the ease of operation of the firing pin gun is definitely not covered. Ma Bao and Wu Yingqi are still very fast when they get started for the first time, and they hit the rockery accurately.  Wu Yingqi yelled happily, and when he hurried to get the bullets again, Fatty Lu refused to give them, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, I can't shoot any more, save some bullets, this thing is too expensive, the cost of a bullet is around twenty  More than a text. And I came in a hurry, and I haven't made many yet."

    "Stop talking nonsense, I'll enjoy two more shots!" Wu Yingqi didn't give Fatty Lu a chance to defend himself, and abruptly snatched two bullets from Fatty Lu's hand.  pieces.

    "Yifeng, how many of these muskets can be produced within a year?" Old Traitor Wu asked in a trembling voice¡ª¡ªOld Traitor Wu is also Lao Qiuba who has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, so he can see it at a glance.  Show the importance of this firing pin gun.

    "If there are enough people, within a year, four to five thousand of these muskets should be produced, and the corresponding bayonets can be equipped." Fatty Lu replied in a deep voice: "There is still room for improvement in terms of bullets.  A gun with a hundred bullets should be fine. But"

    "But what?" Old Han Wu asked treacherously.

    "Funds." Fatty Lu replied with a wry smile: "The most expensive bullets are thunderbolt, and the most expensive muskets are steel needles and springs. Both must be made of the best refined iron, so the cost is very expensive."

    The old traitor Wu was silent. After a while, the old traitor Wu gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and shouted: "The palace will not be built, and the saved money will be used to make new firearms for the king!"

    "The prince is wise!" Hu Guozhu, Wang Shirong and some generals of the Wu army cheered together, and hurriedly saluted the old traitor Wu.  Fatty Lu, on the other hand, got cheap and behaved, and said kindly: "Grandfather, you don't have to be like this. Isn't it too wronged to let you live in such a small place?"

    "Bastard boy!" The old man Wu glared at Fatty Lu, and said angrily, "Is it the king's anti-Qing cause that is important? Or a palace? When the king takes Nanjing and Beijing, how many palaces do you want?"

    "Grandfather is a wise man. My son-in-law doesn't care about the seriousness, please punish my grandfather." Fatty Lu lowered his fat head in shame.  Although Ma Bao and the others felt a little regretful, considering the power of such a weapon on the battlefield, they felt it was worth it.  Only Wu Yingqi looked sad, bumped Fatty Lu quietly, and cursed in a low voice: "You bastard, it's all because of you."

    "Uncle forgive me, nephew and son-in-law also know that your filial piety to grandfather can be learned from the bright moon." Fatty Lu answered irrelevant questions, and said with a wry smile: "But Wuchang City is only so big, and we don't have enough money, money and food. How can we build a palace of a thousand mu?  ?¡±

    "I'm not talking about you." Wu Yingqi was a little sullen, but quickly shifted his attention, and began to beg the old traitor Wu's sleeve, hoping that his direct army would be equipped with new-style muskets first. The same is true for Ma Bao, two hundred and fifty  If they refused to give in to each other, they would naturally quarrel in public.

    "You!" The old traitor Wu ignored the dispute between his precious son and his beloved general, he just pointed at Fatty Lu, and cursed with a smile: "No wonder people call you a fat loach with oil, it's true!  "

    Fatty Lu also understood that old traitor Wu had seen his sinister intentions, so he quickly bowed his head hypocritically, admitting his mistake.  Fortunately, the old traitor Wu didn¡¯t argue with Fatty Lu, he just waved his hand and said, ¡°Follow me to the study. Yesterday, your mentor Liu Xuanchu wrote from Kunming with a good suggestion. Come and help me to read the details.  There are Guozhu, Liangchen, you also come together."

    "Of order." Fatty Lu agreed, and quickly followed Hu Guozhu, Wang Shirong and others, thinking in his heart, "That teacher of mine made a good suggestion? What good suggestion? That teacher of mine has a good vision in strategy, but in terms of tactics  I am not as good as I am in terms of adapting to the situation, what good suggestions can I have? Could it be that I have some good strategic ideas but have no way to implement them, so kick the problem to me, the unlucky student?" (To be continued.

 Chapter 222 Problems

    ?

    According to Fatty Lu's crow's mouth, Liu Xuanchu, who stayed in Yunnan to assist Guo Zhuangtu, did put forward an extremely correct and beneficial strategic plan in his letter to the old traitor Wu, but it is extremely difficult to implement it.  Generally high!  Because this plan is to force or lure Geng Jingzhong to rebel or lure Geng Jingzhong during the time when the Wu army and the Qing army are recuperating, and let Geng Jingzhong consume the strength of the Qing army, while the Wu army sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight, reaping the benefits!

    Why is it said that Liu Xuanchu's plan is extremely correct?  Because once this plan is successful, the situation will be too favorable for Wu Jun!  First of all, the attention of the Qing court will definitely be attracted by Geng Jingzhong, and the troops used by the Qing court to deal with the Wu army will also turn their guns and point directly at Geng Jingzhong, consuming manpower and material resources on the Fujian battlefield, which is convenient for the Wu army to attack in an all-round way.  Let the mite Qing army fall into the dilemma of fighting on both sides, exhausted on two battlefields, and weaken the overall strength and combat effectiveness of the mite Qing army to the greatest extent.

    At that time, if Geng Jingzhong is victorious, he can directly join forces with the main force of the Wu army if he invades Jiangxi, and the situation will be even better if he invades Zhejiang.  For the imperial court, it will undoubtedly be another disastrous defeat comparable to the Battle of Guizhou.  It doesn't matter even if Geng Jingzhong loses miserably. At that time, Geng Jingzhong will not only rely more on the Pingxi Palace for rescue, but Zheng Jing, a staunch ally of the Wu army, can also take the opportunity to land and gain a firm foothold on the mainland.  The strength of the Qing army will inevitably be greatly consumed, which is more conducive to the sudden attack of the Wu army.

    It's easy to say, but hard to do. Although Liu Xuanchu's idea is good, the actual operability is a headache - after all, Geng Jingzhong is not a fool, let alone a fool like Wu Yingqi, who will ignore it for a small profit in front of him.  In the long run, why should Wu Jun be used as a shield for the early bird?  And why should they attract the firepower of the Qing court, and fight with the Qing court to lose both sides, so that Wu Jun can reap the benefits?  So after reading Teacher Cheap's letter, even if he was as resourceful as Fatty Lu, he would inevitably scratch his head and weep his fat face.

    "Yifeng, why don't you talk anymore?" Seeing Fatty Lu's embarrassed expression, Old Traitor Wu asked with a joking tone, "This is your teacher's suggestion. You have to say something if you support it or not?"

    "Going back to grandfather, it's a good idea." With a mournful face, Fatty Lu hesitated for a long time before he said honestly: "It's just too unrealistic, Geng Jingzhong is not that stupid, and he won't be the first bird at this time. Say something disrespectful, teacher  I really don't know what to think, how could I pose such a big problem to my grandfather?"

    "Perhaps, Mr. Mao Xia saw that the recent situation in Fujian is beneficial to Geng Jingzhong's sudden rebellion, so he suggested this." Hu Guozhu took over the conversation and explained for Liu Xuanchu: "Some time ago, we received the latest enemy situation in Jiangnan.  It shows that in order to prevent us from going down the river to capture the important financial and taxation areas in the south of the Yangtze River, Emperor Mangou not only mobilized many troops from Gyeonggi and Shandong to go south, but also mobilized the elite main forces of General Echu of Jiangning and General Wang Zhiding of Zhenhai from Jiangnan to Anqing, the throat of the Yangtze River.  The city guards this place. Although this hand blocked the Yangtze River gate for our eastward movement, the strength of the defenders in the south of the Yangtze River has also been greatly weakened, which is very beneficial to Geng Jingzhong's sudden northward movement."

    "In addition, the situation around Fujian is also very favorable for Geng Jingzhong. The Manchu army in Jiangxi in the west has been directly restrained by our main force, and self-protection is not enough. How can we still have the strength to deal with Geng Jingzhong? In the south  Guangdong Mangou has just been slapped by you, with heavy losses and low morale. Inside, Shang Kexi's best friend, monk Zhixin, and the prince's sons are attacking each other. Outside, Wu Shizong and Zheng Jing are directly restrained, and Geng Jingzhong cannot be formed in a short period of time.  Threat. As for Zheng Jing in the east, as long as Geng Jingzhong agrees to join forces with Zheng Jing to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Jing will not only not become a threat, but will directly become Geng Jingzhong's effective ally. The situation is very favorable to Geng Jingzhong, and Geng Jingzhong cannot be ruled out.  The possibility of Jingzhong suddenly attacking."

    "Of course my nephew and son-in-law know what my uncle said." Fatty Lu smiled wryly and said, "But it's still the same sentence, unless the Manchu army takes the initiative, Geng Jingzhong will never take the initiative to attack this high-ranking rafter.  I will save my strength and continue to wait and see, wait until we go further and fight Mangou to the death, and then come out to pick up cheap and peaches, which is in his best interest."

    "So, you also feel that this goal is impossible to achieve?" Old Traitor Wu asked rather disappointed.  Seeing Fatty Lu wryly smiling and shaking his head, old traitor Wu was inevitably even more disappointed, and said regretfully, "Originally, this king thought that you, a bastard who is good at performing miracles, might have some evil idea to force Geng Jingzhong to rebel for this king in advance.  You shake your head like this, it seems that there is really no hope for this matter."

    "It's not that my son-in-law doesn't want to do his best, but it's just too difficult." Fatty Lu shook his head and said helplessly, "If our army has raised the flag of righteousness and raised troops to start a new war with Mangou, what will happen?The military situation is very rough and rough, how can I make this plan?  "

    "Huh?" Line Yuxuan's heart suddenly moved, he quickly pinched again, and reminded: "Fatty man, why are you so stupid? You forgot that in Wuchang City, there are two people who are very familiar with Jingnan Palace and Pingnan Palace.  size? Why don¡¯t you ask them?¡±

    "Who?" Fatty Lu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, slapped the table, and said angrily, "Shang Zhixiao! Geng Juzhong! How could I have forgotten them?! These two idiots are also Jingnan Palace and Pingnan Palace.  His second prince's understanding of the situation in Guangdong and Fujian is naturally far superior to all of us."

    "That's right, maybe you know something more confidential." Line Yuxuan chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, when you were on business in Wangye Xingyuan today, these two idiots heard that you had returned to Wuchang City, and even joined forces  I came to you and said I wanted to see you, but my attitude was that respectful. I promised to tell you when you came back, but I forgot."

    "I'll go see them right away." Fatty Lu pushed Line Yuxuan away and wanted to stand up, but Line Yuxuan grabbed Lu Fatty and complained with a cherry red mouth: "It's three o'clock, they must all be asleep,  Are you going to ask people to get out of bed to meet guests?"

    "Tomorrow then." Fatty Lu was a little frustrated, and said helplessly, "Yu'er, go to bed first, I'll read these official documents before going to sleep."

    "Of course I can go to bed first." Line Yuxuan's voice suddenly became sweet, and he took Fatty Lu's fat hand, and asked with winking eyes: "However, I gave you such a good idea.  Don't give them a little reward?"

    "More? Oh my god! Yu'er, I don't dare to marry a fourth one. Just to deal with you, I'll have to fuck Oh, Yu'er, spare me! Spare me!" (unfinished  To be continued.

 Chapter 223 Adventure

    ?

    The next afternoon, which was also the twenty-ninth day of February in the twelfth year of Kang Mazi, when the afternoon was approaching evening, Fatty Lu came to the temporary Xingyuan of the old traitor Wu again, and stood at the Xingyuan Gate with his hands behind his back and a sad face.  Walked around for a long time without saying a word, and turned a blind eye to the people coming in and out of Xingyuan Gate, which made the guards in front of the gate bewildered, and the leading guard captain couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "Master Lu, do you want to see?"  Prince? Would you like me to hand you your waist badge?"

    "What? You haven't handed me my badge yet?" Fatty Lu asked in surprise.

    "Lord Lu, don't make jokes, when did you give me your badge?" The guard was startled, and tremblingly said: "It's not a joke to delay the military situation, Master Lu, why don't you walk around here for half a day?"  Shi Chen, when did you give me your waist badge? Also, your waist badge seems to be hanging around your waist, right?"

    "What?" Fatty Lu was also taken aback. He looked down and found that his waist card was indeed still hanging on his waist. He couldn't help but patted his fat forehead and said angrily, "Look at me, I'm so absent-minded, I forget everything when I concentrate on it."  , I thought I had already handed you the badge, and I was still here waiting for the prince to summon me. Brother Wang, I am really sorry, I was thinking about the military situation, so I misunderstood."

    "Master Lu, your absent-mindedness is too serious, isn't it?" The guard couldn't laugh or cry, so he hurriedly said: "Master Lu, please give me your waist card, and the villain will inform you."

    "Thank you." Fatty Lu quickly took off his waist badge and handed it over, but when the guard reached out to pick it up, Fatty Lu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Forget it, I'd better ask to see General Jinwu, please Brother Wang pass it on to Zuo Jinwu for me."  Report and say I'm asking to see you."

    The guard agreed, and rushed in to report, but with Fatty Lu's current status and favor in the Wu army, other people's request to see him depends on the mood and urgency of the old traitor Wu and Hu Guozhu.  It's a formality.  Soon, the guard rushed out again, saying that Hu Guozhu was acting as an official document in the signing room, and asked Fatty Lu to go in directly. Fatty Lu thanked him, and slipped two taels of silver into the guard's hand before entering with his hands behind his back.  Arriving at the temporary residence of the old traitor Wu, he planned a vicious trick and slowly walked to Hu Guozhu's signing room.

    Entering the signing and deposit room, Hu Guozhu and Wang Shirong were both in the room, and they were also surrounded by piles of various official documents. More than 20 assistants were busy in the book office, and the voices of discussing official affairs and asking whether to approve the official documents were endless and lively.  It's like a vegetable market.  Fatty Lu first cursed Old Man Wu for being a traitor so he could find such a loyal and useful son-in-law, and then he stepped forward to salute.

    "Yifeng, are you here?" Hu Guozhu put down the brush in his hand, rubbed his bloodshot eyes, and asked wearily, "What's the matter?"

    "Back to Uncle, I have some thoughts about what happened yesterday, and I want to talk to you and Mr. Liangchen alone." Fatty Lu replied: "My nephew wants to hear your opinions first, and then decide whether to report it to grandfather.  "

    "Okay, I've been sitting all day, and I just want to go out for a walk." Hu Guozhu agreed, greeted Wang Shirong and explained the errand, and led Fatty Lu and Wang Shirong out of the signing room, and went to the back garden together  walk.

    It was getting dark, and there was no one in the back garden, which made it convenient for Fatty Lu and the others to have a secret conversation. As soon as they reached the pond where there were no outsiders, Fatty Lu introduced in a low voice, "Uncle, Mr. Liangchen, my nephew is going to see you today."  Geng Juzhong and Monk Zhixiao, talked with them for most of the day, and got out of their mouths a lot of secrets about Jingnan Palace and Pingnan Palace. Combined with the situation of the southeast army we have, we figured out a rough plan.  I have no idea, and I am worried about the consequences, so I want to ask for your opinions before deciding whether to report to my grandfather."

    "Then listen to what you said, and be more careful." Hu Guozhu nodded in agreement.

    "It's like this. My nephew and son-in-law learned about it from Shang Zhixiao." Fatty Lu introduced in a low voice: "The conflict between Shang Kexi's old man and his eldest son Shang Zhixin may be more acute and intense than what we understand and analyze.  Shang Zhixin advocated imitating our army and separatist Guangdong to stand on his own; Shang Kexi, the old thief is loyal to the Manchus.  His son Shang Zhixiao inherited the throne, and after Shang Zhixiao had humiliated the old man Shang Kexi several times, the old man Shang Kexi planned to change his sixth son, Shang Zhidian, to be his eldest son, but because Shang Zhixin's wings were full, Shang Kexi's old man  Things didn¡¯t dare to act rashly.¡±

    "In addition, according to our detailed investigation information, when Shang Kexi was captured by us, Shang Zhixin took the opportunity to kill more than 120 of Shang Kexi's cronies headed by Jin Guang and Huang Zhangsi, and put Shang Zhidian's thirteen brothers under house arrest.  People, completely controlled the entire Pingnan Palace. And from Emperor Mangou sent Yue Le to lead the army.?Mr. is better at it than his son-in-law. With him around, no surprises will happen.  As for other things, we can wait for the son-in-law to come back.  "

    "Then you go." The old man Wu thought of the fact that Fatty Lu left Yunnan for Guangxi last time and did not delay the production of firearms, so he immediately agreed, and then ordered: "Hurry up and perfect the details of the plan.  Prepare that general to come to see me and let him be our deathbed!"

    Note: The twelfth year of Kang Mazi is a lunar new year, not only on February 29, but also on February 30.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 224 Surrender

    ?

    Fatty Lu is really inaccurate in seeing women¡ªotherwise, he would not choose the notorious old man who raped his young daughter as his wife, let alone that transgressive Yu Xuan.

    Looking at the leadership, Fatty Lu's eyes are even more inaccurate-there are really few in this world who can choose a house slave with three surnames like Old Traitor Wu as his assistant!  Since ancient times, there have been those who have chosen the faint king as the object of assistance, some who have chosen the powerful minister as the object of assistance, and some who have even chosen the heroine or even the eunuch as the object of assistance, but the ratio of those who choose the slaves of the three surnames as the object of assistance is really not high.  high.

    But when it comes to watching dogs and especially traitors, Fatty Lu's small mung bean eyes can be said to be extremely accurate. For example, Fatty Lu predicted in front of old traitor Wu and Hu Guozhu's son-in-law that it is gratifying for the old traitor to return.  After Guangzhou, there will definitely be a conflict between the flesh and blood and his biological son Shang Zhixin - as expected, after Shang Kexi returned to Guangzhou under Yue Le's protection, he and his biological son immediately had a complete relationship.

    In order to take back the military power in his son's hands, the old traitor Shang, with the support of Yue Le, General Shu Shu of the Guangzhou Mite Camp, Chief Soldier Bai Yindali, and Du Tong Niyahan, expelled more than a dozen of his son's confidantes from the army at one go.  and released Shang Zhidian and other thirteen brothers who were imprisoned by Shang Zhixin, and took them as the core to take over the vacated military positions.  Shang Zhixin is not to be outdone, and with the support of his brother Shang Zhijie, Wang Guodong, Shen Shangda, Zhang Yongxiang, Zhang Yongxuan and other cronies, he starts an open contest with the traitor Shang Lao.

    Tit-for-tat quarreled for a long time, and Shang Zhixin, who has not yet formally inherited the king's title, was wronged after all. In addition, he did not have the courage and determination to completely tear apart his face with his father, let alone kill his father and stand on his own.  He could only make major concessions. On the premise of keeping the four absolute cronies of Wang Guodong, Shen Shangda and the Zhang family brothers, he was forced to agree to the personnel adjustment of the old traitor, and his strength was greatly weakened.

    This is not over, what makes Shang Zhixin furious is still behind, the old traitor Shang just took control of the nearby Guangzhou army, and immediately threw out the second trick that Kang Mazi personally arranged and had planned for a long time-adding the sixth traitor to the old traitor  Zi Shangzhidian was the Great General of Pingnan, commanding the entire Guangdong army by honor, while Shang Zhixin, the eldest son, was only conferred the title of General Fighting Bandits, under Shang Zhidian, and had to obey the command of his sixth brother in honor.  In rage, Shang Zhixin not only refused to accept the official position conferred by Kang Mazi, but also slammed the door and left on the spot, even refusing to perform the minimum kowtow to thank him.

    The eldest son despised Kangxi's master so much, and the old traitor Shang was naturally furious. If it wasn't for Yue Le's calm pull, the old traitor Shang might have ordered an army to be dispatched on the spot to fight with the army loyal to the eldest son.  Fortunately, Yue Le tried his best to persuade him, saying that the current enemy is present, and Guangdong is in danger. If there is another civil strife at this time, it will definitely give the old traitor Wu and Zheng Jing an opportunity. For Shang Zhixin, we can only take it slowly, and we must not act too hastily  Only then did the old traitor Shang barely suppress his anger, and with the support of civil and military officials loyal to Qing Qing, he started a struggle for power with his eldest son.

    But it's a pity that after one concession and even suffered two big losses, Shang Zhixin also learned to be good, and he grasped the direct line of the army very tightly, and didn't give the traitor Lao Tzu any chance.  Qing also jumped out and shared a lot of pressure for Shang Zhixin - Zu Zeqing not only refused the old traitor Shang's order to transfer himself to the Chaozhou government far away from the Wu army, but also refused to go to Guangzhou to meet the old traitor Shang under the pretext of being sick  And Yue Le, at the same time, also used the excuse of preventing pirates from harassing, blocked the big and small passes of Gaozhou Prefecture, and put on a firm attitude against the old traitor and Yue Le by force.

    A small local general dares to be so rude. If it were someone else, the old traitor Shang and Yue Le would have already raised their knives and killed people, but who is Zu Zeqing?  Old traitor Wu's first cousin!  Wuzhou in the north of Gaozhou and Lianzhou in the west are both directly controlled by the Wu army. If the old traitor Shang and Yue Le dare to use force to solve the Gaozhou problem, Zu Zeqing may have brought the Gaozhou army to the city before the soldiers and horses leave Guangzhou.  He went to his cousin to eat and drink.  Therefore, although the old traitor Shang and Yue Le wanted to peel Zu Zeqing's skin and cramps in their hearts, in order not to make the situation worse, they could only swallow their anger and tolerate Zu Zeqing's arrogant behavior, and even sent envoys with  The gift went to Gaozhou to visit Zu Zongbing who was "sick in bed".

    The power of role models is inexhaustible. A local commander-in-chief dared to be so arrogant because he was related to the traitor Wu, and even forced the traitor father and Prince Mangou to humble themselves.  As the son of the eldest son, Shang Zhixin inevitably regretted his weakness and bullying, and also tightened his control over the army of the direct line. At the same time, he couldn't help but send secret envoys to communicate with Wu Shizhong in Guangxi and Zu Zeqing in Gaozhou to consolidate their friendship.  , Be prepared to bet on both sides and wait and see the situation.  As a result, the atmosphere in Guangzhou will inevitably become even more tense. The Old King's Party and the Prince's Party are at war with each other, and they are almost enemies to each other.

    At this tense moment, the newNo, then for the sake of the family relationship between the Shang and Geng families, the old man will naturally speak well in front of the Holy One, and ask the Holy One to forgive your previous sins for the sake of your atonement.  "

    "Uncle Xie, Uncle Xie." Geng Juzhong kowtowed again and again, until the traitor Shang repeatedly called to stop, Geng Juzhong wiped his tears and stood up, peeking at Yue Le tremblingly.

    "Second Prince, do you know who I am?" Yue Le asked with a smile.

    "Could it be that Your Excellency is Prince An?" Geng Juzhong tentatively asked.

    "That's right, I'm Yue Le." Yue Le nodded with a smile, and then corrected with a smile: "However, the king has already been demoted to the county king by the emperor because of his ineffectiveness in combat."

    "Sure enough, it's Prince An. The guilty minister, Geng Juzhong, pays respects to the prince." Geng Juzhong hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said flatteringly: "Prince An, the criminal has admired you for a long time, Lu Yifeng, brother Lu oh no, Lu  Yifeng dog thief has said in front of criminal officials more than once that among the kings of the Qing Dynasty, the only person he fears and fears is you."

    "He has won the prize, but this king also feels the same. In the Wugou army, the only person I am afraid of and afraid of is him." Yue Le smiled modestly, and asked again: "Second prince, are you doing this anyway?"  Returning, one thing is very strange to me, the dog thief Wu Sangui treated you well, and even asked you to be named Marquis of Xingyi from the imperial court, why did you leave him and surrender to us?"

    "Back to the lord, Wu Sangui is a thief, he is unfair!" Geng Juzhong yelled angrily, "They are all the second princes who have surrendered. He asked for the title of Duke Shunqing for Shang Zhixiao and brother Shang, and the one who asked for the title of me is only a marquis.  , and the sinful minister hated his foolish behavior back then, so he resolutely returned anyway."

    "It's really just like this?" Yue Le asked: "Just for these things, are you going anyway?"

    Geng Juzhong hesitated for a moment, and finally said coyly: "Prince An Mingjian, there are indeed some other reasons for the criminals to return anyway. The old thief Wu Sangui employs cronyism.  Surrendered generals don't look down on them at all, except for some money and food to support them, they don't give them any other power. Not only the guilty minister, but also his uncle's second prince and General Sun Yanling and Sun Yanling's brothers are all very regretful now, regretting us all.  Back then, I believed the nonsense of that bastard Lu Yifeng, but I was blinded by lard and did something wrong."

    "There is one more thing that the guilty minister can't be more angry about." Geng Juzhong added in a low voice, "That bastard Lu Yifeng, when he arrived in Fujian five years ago, he was just a county magistrate who just took office, and when he saw the criminal minister, he just kowtowed and didn't speak.  But now the old thief Wu Sangui let him ride on the head of the guilty minister, giving orders to the criminal minister, calling the criminal minister back and forth like a servant, the more the criminal minister thought about it, the more troublesome he became, so he resolutely said no  back."

    "Is that so?" Yue Le pondered in his heart, saying that it is true that Wu Sangui likes cronyism, but his sons-in-law, nephews, sons-in-law, and cronies are all up to the task. They are either brave or resourceful. They have gathered stars, and there are many pillars with both civil and military skills.  Why should these reliable talents not be used, and reuse an unreliable idiot that surrendered?  Could it be that Geng Juzhong, an idiot, really surrendered anyway?

    "Uncle, lord, if you don't trust the criminal, the criminal will have a way to prove his sincerity anyway." Geng Juzhong suddenly spoke again.

    "Then how do you plan to prove it?" Yue Le asked doubtfully.

    "Criminals can lead the way for you and help you break through Wuzhou City!" Geng Juzhong said surprisingly, "There are only three or four thousand troops in Wuzhou City now, and the troops drawn by Lu Yifeng's dog thief and Wu Shizong's little thief from all over Guangxi have to be returned.  It took a while to arrive in Wuzhou, and it was the emptiest time. Therefore, when the criminal minister left Wuzhou, he had already made an appointment with several old ministries of the year. As soon as uncle your army came to the city, they would immediately open the city gate and greet the prince.  You dedicate this Guangxi portal."

    "Are you sure?" The old traitor Shang asked pleasantly: "Wuzhou is in Guangxi, and you are a general from Fujian. How could there be your old troops in Wuzhou?"

    "Uncle didn't know something. My nephew was confused for a while and led the Fujian army to surrender to Wugou. The soldiers from Fujian and other places were scattered and reorganized." Geng Juzhong explained: "So in Wuzhou City, not only  There are soldiers from Fujian and Guangxi, and uncle your former soldiers from Guangdong, but Wuzhou is close to Guangdong, and Wu Gou is afraid that the soldiers in Guangdong will miss their hometown and family and flee, so there are the least soldiers in Guangdong, and the least soldiers in Fujian and Guangxi."

    "Prince An, this is a good opportunity." Shang Kexi was overjoyed, and quickly turned to Yue Le to suggest: "Taking advantage of this good opportunity, let's find an excuse that we can explain to the imperial court, and ask Nephew Juzhong Xian to lead the way to take Wuzhou City  Take it back. At that time, as long as we can capture the dog thief Lu Yifeng alive, or kill the dog thief on the battlefield, and get rid of this serious trouble for the Lord, the emperor will forgive us no matter how serious our sins are."

    Yue Le didn't answer, his eyes were like lightning eagles, but he just stared at Geng Juzhong. Under the gaze of these two sharp eyes, although Geng Juzhong could still maintain his composure, his expression remained the same, but his pair of thick, short and fat legs still couldn't help it  I trembled slightly (To be continued.

    Yue Le didn't answer. His eyes were like lightning eagles, but he just stared at Geng Juzhong. Under the gaze of these two sharp eyes, although Geng Juzhong could still maintain his composure and his expression remained unchanged, his pair of short and fat legs still couldn't help it.

 Chapter 225: Seen Through

    ?

    "Second Prince, why are you nervous?"

    Yue Le's voice was as cold as a knife, as if he had pierced Geng Juzhong's chest and head straight into the bone marrow, and then he spoke suddenly, asking in a cold and biting voice: "It's almost April, is the weather in Guangdong still very cold?  Prince, why are you shaking like this?"

    "I, didn't I shake?" Geng Juzhong was obviously caught off guard, he quickly stood up straight and forced himself to calm down, but there was still a little nervousness and panic in his expression - it's not really to blame  Geng Juzhong, after all, doing this kind of thing depends on talent, not everyone is as perverted as Fatty Lu.

    In this way, not to mention the calm and wise Yue Le, even the traitor Shang, who is already a little bit confused, saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Bold and Geng Juzhong boy, what is your intention to instigate this old man to attack Wuzhou?  Quickly and truthfully recruit, if not, the old man will immediately order you to be sent to the execution ground for execution!"

    "Uncle, I am wronged!" Geng Juzhong knelt down with a plop, and shouted with a mournful face, "My little nephew really has no intentions. My little nephew just wants to make meritorious deeds to atone for his crimes, and that's why he persuaded uncle to attack Wuzhou! Uncle, if you don't believe me  Nephew, nephew just doesn't lead the way, there's no need to scare nephew like this."

    "You don't have any intentions? Then what were you shaking just now?" Old man Shang asked treacherously.

    "I really" Geng Juzhong still wanted to argue, but then he thought about telling the truth, and replied with a sad face: "Uncle, even if my nephew is really trembling, my nephew is also afraid, please think about it, uncle, my nephew just now  Anyway, when you come back, I advise you to sneak attack Wuzhou and express your willingness to lead the way. When the time comes to open the gate of the city, can my nephew not be afraid that you won¡¯t believe my uncle? Can my nephew not be afraid that you will misunderstand what kind of conspiracy my nephew is doing? What if you really  I misunderstood my little nephew, but my little nephew doesn't even have a chance to complain."

    "This is the truth." Yue Le nodded slightly, and asked again: "Second Prince, since that's the case, then I ask you, you suggest that we send troops to attack Wuzhou, how sure are we that we will be able to open the city gate?"

    "If you are 100% sure, then no one dares to say it." Geng Juzhong said tremblingly: "But there is still a 50% to 60% certainty, but there are really only three or four thousand Wugou soldiers in Wuzhou City. Uncle and Prince An only need troops.  There is enough food and grass, even if the city gate cannot be opened, the chances of successfully attacking Wuzhou are very high."

    Monk Yue Le and the old traitor frowned together. In fact, they already knew that they had a good chance of succeeding in storming Wuzhou, but the problem is that now that the Qing court and the Wu army have signed an armistice treaty, if the frontal storm fails to capture Lu  Fatty may kill the number one scourge of the Qing Dynasty, and all the consequences will be borne by us alone, and Kang Mazi will not let us go.  So after thinking about it for a long time, Yue Le could only shake his head and said: "Second Prince, since you are not sure, then the matter of attacking Wuzhou can only be forgotten."

    "Prince An, the guilty minister has already said that if the sneak attack fails, you can attack by force." Geng Juzhong urged: "Lu Yifeng's dog thief didn't bring his direct army from Wuchang this time, so don't talk about commanding the army like you just arrived in Wuzhou.  Just settling personnel affairs is enough for him to work for ten days and a half months. Most of Wuzhou City has surrendered troops, and its combat effectiveness and morale are not high. The guilty minister can guarantee that as long as his uncle and Prince An personally lead the army to take Wuzhou City  It's as easy as flipping the palm of your hand!"

    "Of course it's easy to eat, but it's troublesome if you can't pull it out!" Yue Le snorted coldly, suddenly trembling in his heart, and secretly said: "No, why is this kid trying to encourage our attack on Wuzhou? What purpose does he have? He wants to lure  Are we going to war on our own initiative, and we will be accused of instigating the flames of war again? Or are we trying to lure our main force to Guangxi? Wait that's wrong!"

    Thinking of this, Yue Le suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and a terrifying thought flashed in his mind, "Could it be that Lu Yifeng's dog thief is a bait specially arranged by Wu Sangui to come to Guangxi, and he used Pingnan King to attack Lu Yifeng's dog thief.  Using our Qing court's covetousness for Lu Yifeng's dog thief's new firearms, to lure us to take the initiative to attack Guangxi? If we fall for it, then Wu Sangui's old thief can not only gain the moral upper hand, but it is gratifying that the disobedient son Shangzhi will believe it.  Is there a chance?"

    "Uncle, Lord An, are you refusing to take the initiative to attack Wuzhou? Is it because there is something wrong with the Pingnan Palace?" Sure enough, after the plan failed, Geng Juzhong asked tentatively again: "Uncle, my nephew heard in Wuzhou that  Uncle, when you return to Guangzhou this time, there seems to be some conflict with the eldest son of the Southern Palace."

    "Why are you asking this?" Old Shang asked vigilantly.

    "Of course my nephew wants to make meritorious service to atone for my crime." Geng Juzhong replied honestly, and then said cautiously: "Uncle, if this is the case, then my nephew has a way to help uncle solve this problem."

    &He quickly volunteered and said: "Master, give me some troops, and I will go back to Yunnan immediately to protect the young lady and the young master."

    "It's too late for you to go now." Fatty Lu continued to smile wryly, "And Yu Xuan has volunteered to go back to Yunnan with the prince's warrant, ready to protect my wife and son at all costs."

    "That's good." Xiao Erlang breathed a sigh of relief, but after thinking about it for a second, Xiao Erlang jumped up again, and shouted nervously: "The third general is going to protect the young lady and the young master? Young master, the temper of the third general, you  It's not that I don't know, she can do anything when she's jealous, so it's really okay for her to protect the young lady and the young master?"

    "That's why I am like this." Fatty Lu couldn't laugh or cry completely, "With that tigress' temper, the so-called volunteering must be aimed at taking my son back. As for Wanyi's whereabouts, she must care  It doesn't matter, maybe I wish Wanyi could go back to Guangdong to make room for her."

    "Master, then I'd better take a trip to Yunnan." Xiao Erlang hurriedly volunteered again: "Or the little one goes to Lianzhou. If Man Gou wants to rob the young lady and the young master, he will definitely go back to Guangdong by sea.  Go and ask General Du and the others to intercept them at sea, and they will definitely rescue the young lady and the young master."

    "It's too late." Fatty Lu shook his head feebly, and then said comfortingly: "But it's okay, Yu'er knows that I am just such a son, and also knows that if I don't have that son, I will definitely be dissatisfied with her, so she just continues  No matter how hard you work, you will find a way to get my son back."

    "What about the Young Madam?" Xiao Erlang asked nervously: "Master, didn't you just say that the Third General Line would definitely wish that the Young Madam would leave you, and he would certainly not think of a way to intercept the Young Madam."

    Fatty Lu turned his head and glanced at Xiao Erlang, his eyes were full of doubts, and asked in a low voice: "Are you stupid? You have been with me for so many years, and you don't even understand my thoughts? Wanyi left Yunnan.  Is it entangled? Wouldn¡¯t it be better for her to be taken back to Guangdong by the old thief Shang Kexi, whether it is the old thief Shang Kexi or Shang Zhixin, will it be against her?¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 226 Wu Sanhao

    ?

    At the same time, different things are always happening in different places.  Almost at the same time that Fatty Lu's simple team arrived in Wuzhou City, Guangxi, the ugly master Wang Shaobo, whom Fatty Lu placed high hopes on, finally arrived in Fuzhou City, and came to the gate of the extremely luxurious Jingnan Palace.

    When Fatty Lu came to Fuzhou five years ago as a seventh-rank magistrate, he had to wait for six full days before he was picked up by the guards of Prince Jingnan at that time like garbage.  Entering Jingnan Prince's Mansion, mentioning the Wanghai Tower in the side garden of Jingnan Prince's Mansion, kowtowed to Geng Jingzhong, who was only the eldest son at that time.  But now, when Fatty Lu's ugly master Wang Shaobo came to the Jingnan Palace, Geng Jingzhong, who was already the King of Jingnan, actually greeted him out of the gate in person, and politely invited Wang Shaobo to the main hall for tea¡ªthe difference in treatment.  Huge, even though Wang Shaobo was also an accomplice hired by Fatty Lu with fifty taels of silver a year, it was enough to make Fatty Lu jealous back then.

    "Pass down Wang Jun's system, prepare banquets, prepare feasts, and entertain King Pingxi's envoys and Mr. Lu's aides for this king! Remember, you want the best wine, the best dishes! The singers and dancers arrange the best!"

    Prince Jingnan's hospitality was so great that even our ugly master Wang Shaobo felt a little embarrassed, he quickly saluted and said modestly: "The prince is too polite, too condescending, Wang Shaobo is a commoner, how dare he treat you like a prince? I am really flattered and ashamed  Don't dare to be."

    "Mr. Shaobo, you don't have to be polite, don't be polite." Geng Jingzhong laughed, and took Wang Shaobo's hand and said very affectionately: "Let's not say that Mr. Shaobo is the honored envoy of his uncle King Pingxi, and he came to Fujian just like his uncle.  Coming in person is the great name of Mr. Shaobo, and Xiao Wang has admired it for a long time. I think that Mr. Shaobo stood alone at the head of Bajiang City, taking the prince of the imperial court as a hostage, and forced back the thousands of enemies who surrounded your army.  Wanma, to help Lu Yifeng and Lord Lu achieve extraordinary feats, his courage and resourcefulness are rare in the sky and unparalleled on earth¡ªit¡¯s amazing!"

    "My lord, thank you, my lord." Wang Shaobo hurriedly humbly said, "The student is just in the honor of the good masters of the host family, and it was a coincidence that he made some trivial achievements. The lord is so ridiculously praised, and the student really can't afford it."

    "Hey, I can afford it, I can afford it. Why do Mr. Shaobo and your master Lu Yifeng, Master Lu, both like to be overly modest?" Geng Jingzhong conveniently put a high hat on Wang Shaobo, and then sighed: "  Speaking of Lu Yifeng, Mr. Lu, Xiao Wang was really blind back then, he didn't know gold and jade, he didn't see his peerless talent, he passed by Fujian, Xiao Wang not only didn't humbly ask for advice, tried his best to keep him, but also treated him very contemptuously  , Thinking about it now, Xiao Wang is really ashamed and regretful, too late to regret."

    "The prince blames himself too much." Wang Shaobo hurriedly said good things to the boss Lu Fatty, "The master also mentioned the events of the past in front of the students, saying that if it weren't for the prince's life-saving grace and the virtue of giving money back then, he would still be where he is today.  What does this look like? He also said that if there is a chance, he must give everything to repay the great kindness of the prince, even if his body is broken and he will go through fire and water."

    "That's what the three good brothers really said?" Geng Jingzhong showed some surprise. Seeing Wang Shaobo nod his head solemnly, Geng Jingzhong was even more happy, and quickly patted Wang Shaobo on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Shaobo, please repay the three good brothers.  Not to mention, if he has time some other day, please ask him to go to Fujian, and let Xiao Wang make up for the slow treatment back then, and Xiao Wang will be very happy. Also, if the three good brothers are in the Southwest that day  Tired of staying, thinking of coming to Fujian to live for a few days, then he can come, Xiao Wang, the position in Jingnan Prince's Mansion, he can choose whatever he wants."

    "Definitely, the student must report the truth to the master." Wang Shaobo bowed his hands and respectfully agreed, but he was depressed in his heart, thinking that it is no wonder that Prince Pingxi refused to send the master to be this envoy. It turned out that he knew that Prince Jingnan was also planning for the master.  , My boss is more handsome than me, so why is he so much more popular than me?

    While speaking, the banquet was ready, and Geng Jingzhong hurriedly invited Wang Shaobo to Wanghai Tower to attend the banquet. At the same time, in order to show his respect for the envoys of the Pingxi Palace and his sincerity in seeking talents, he also heard that two of his absolute confidants, Zeng Yang and Ma Jiuyu, made a speech.  Pei, Geng Jingzhong's two uncles, Geng Jishan and Geng Jimei, who had firmly supported the Jingnan Palace's anti-Qing government in history, were also invited to be present. Together with Geng Jingzhong, they warmly entertained the envoys from the Southwest, and took the opportunity to test Wang Shaobo's intentions and Wu Jun's next strategic move.

    After drinking for three rounds, singing and dancing began. More than a dozen beautiful dancers with outstanding looks danced to the sound of silk and bamboo.  I was fascinated by watching it, and I was full of praise all the time, praising the beauty of the song and the beauty of the music, and lamenting that Geng Jingzhong really knows how to enjoy it.  And Geng Jingzhong and his henchmen were quietly relieved when they saw Wang Shaobo's lewd and wretched appearance, thinking that this ugly guy was only mediocre.?Attacking Jiangnan, I am afraid that the difficulty will be unusually high.  "

    Geng Jingzhong stopped talking. This is also the matter that Geng Jingzhong has been tossing and hesitating for a while. Now that the main force of Mangou has been destroyed, and the remaining main force has been restrained by the Wu army in the Huguang battlefield. It is bound to be very beneficial to attack Nanjing, Zhejiang, but  The harm is to become a shield for the traitor Wu, and attract the attention of the Qing court for Wu Jun.  And if this opportunity is missed, although it is certain that the Wu army and the Qing army will fight again in the future, the Mangou army has recovered from this breath and regained its vitality. Do you still want to take Jiangnan so easily?

    "Let's discuss this matter slowly." After thinking about it, Geng Jingzhong finally put this idea aside and changed the subject: "What do you think about the second request made by the old thief Wu Sangui?"

    "We can give it a try, anyway, even if we fail, we won't lose anything." Geng Jimei agreed, saying: "But if the negotiation is successful, we can not only save a lot of money in purchasing weapons, but also use the Eight Banners  They made a lot of money from fushou cream and saved up their military pay and food. Besides, that Wang Shaobo had a good idea. It is still gratifying that even if the old thief does not agree to let go of Wu Sangui's sea boat, he will probably agree to let our sea boat go. When the time comes, we will  To take advantage of the weakness of Wu Sangui, the old thief, we have to take advantage of the weakness of our flag, and knock out another sum of money from him."

    "I'm afraid it might not be possible?" Ma Jiuyu, the governor of Fuzhou who had been silent before, suddenly said, "Shang Kexi, the old thief and Yue Le went south and returned to Guangdong this time, and they didn't even enter Fujian under our control. Spare me  The big circle came home from Jiangxi, which is controlled by Man Gou, which proves that he and Man Gou are also guarding against us. What they are afraid of is that we will rob and kill them on the way. It is still gratifying that the old thief is so suspicious of us. We asked him to open the sea route, and he would  So easy to agree?"

    "That's true." Geng Jingzhong hesitated, and said in distress: "Actually, Shang Kexi, that old bastard is really stupid, and we are not stupid. How could we rob and kill him halfway? We are afraid that he will be beaten by others on the way."  The banner is the real one! And his return to Guangdong will benefit us more, at least he and his eldest son will keep each other in check, let alone threaten our southern line, how could we be so stupid as to make a wedding dress for Shang Zhixin?  ?¡±

    "Jiuyu, so you are against the prince agreeing to Wu Sangui's request?" Geng Jimei turned to Ma Jiuyu and asked.

    "No." Ma Jiuyu shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "On the contrary, the general thinks that the prince should agree to the request of the old thief Wu Sangui, and contact the old thief Shang Kexi to try to meet with the superior to negotiate this matter."

    "Why?" Geng Jingzhong asked intently.

    "It's very simple, take this opportunity to test Shang Kexi's old thief's hostility towards us." Ma Jiuyu replied: "We still don't know the extent of Shang Kexi's old thief's wariness and hostility towards us.  Ming, you have to worry about it all the time. Taking this opportunity, the prince took this opportunity to meet with the old thief Shang Kexi, not only to give the old thief Wu Sangui an explanation and sell him a favor, but also to take the opportunity to test the old thief Shang Kexi's attitude towards us, isn't it?  Kill two birds with one stone?"

    "Wonderful!" Geng Jingzhong applauded and praised: "This plan is great, Shang Kexi. If the old thief agrees to see me, it proves that he is not wary of us to the point of treating us as enemies, and he can take this opportunity to appease Shang Kexi.  Old thief, reduce the pressure on our southern line. Going further, you can persuade Shang Kexi, the old thief, to agree to open the sea route, so that we can get a fortune from the old thief Wu Sangui."

    "If Shang Kexi, the old thief, refuses to agree to meet, then we have confidence in our hearts." Geng Jishan added: "We can do whatever we want when the time comes. This old bastard is currently being held back by the eldest son, we just need to beware of his actions."  Backstabbing, don't be afraid of his open gun. If we don't find out his attitude towards us as soon as possible, we will always have to be on tenterhooks."

    "Since everyone has no objections, let's do it this way." Geng Jingzhong made a decision: "Send an envoy to Guangzhou to see Shang Kexi, the old thief, and say that the king has a problem about the shipping route and wants to talk to him face to face. The location?  , at Fenshui Pass in Chaozhou, which is the border area between Guangdong and Fujian, so that the old man will not be as timid as a mouse, afraid that the king will harm him."

    "Nephew, it's best to meet in secret, lest that old dog Fan Chengmo (the governor of Fujian at the time and the second son of the notorious Fan Wencheng) follow you and go to the Emperor Mangou to file a complaint." Geng Jishan also suggested: "For  Let the old thief Shang Kexi feel at ease, it is best to make an excuse to disturb the people too much, and agree on the number of followers, each with fifty followers, so as not to disturb the people too much."

    "Yes." Geng Jingzhong nodded in agreement, and then ordered: "Then let Lin Riguang come over, he is good at eloquence, let him tell Shang Kexi, the old thief, that the king is going to meet him as a nephew and discuss Geng Shang with him."  The mutual benefit of the two is a good thing, so he doesn't have to worry too much."

    "Of order." Geng Jishan agreed with his hand, and suggested: "Nephew, we should get a little more from him for selling such a big favor to old thief Wu Sangui. I think we must ask old thief Wu Sangui to agree to reduce the price of firearms by two."  become!"

    "Where is 20% enough? At least 30% must be reduced! The asking price is 40%, and the reserve price is 30%!

 Chapter 227 Mess (Part 1)

    ?

    "Finally the motherfucking one is here!" Old traitor Shang punched heavily on Geng Jingzhong's autographed letter, his ugly face was full of grinning besides anger.

    "If the vassal king goes on tour, if the guard of honor is too much, he is afraid that the local area will be overwhelmed and the people will be disturbed, so my nephew only brings fifty entourages. Uncle Wanwang counts the family and the country" softly thinking of Geng Jingzhong's words  Yue Le couldn't help but grinned when he wrote the letter by himself, and murmured: "What a thief, you really are treacherous! Each of you only brings fifty followers? At that time, when your ambush comes out, Prince Pingnan will just catch him without a fight, right?"

    Humph, Yue Le quickly turned back again, and asked the old traitor Shang: "Old prince, the situation at the Fenshui Pass is arranged like this?"

    "Prince An, don't worry, nothing will go wrong!" The old traitor Shang replied proudly: "Liu Jinzhong, the general soldier of Chaozhou, has obeyed the order of my king, and has been conducting strict investigations in the area of ??Fenshui Pass.  !"

    Speaking of this, the old man Shang couldn't help but snorted proudly, "Because of caution, the old man didn't even tell Liu Jinzhong's son the truth, but only told them that it was to arrest the jewel smugglers (smuggling) robbers and big salt lords, let them  Strictly seal the news, and the person who gets the head of the thief will get half of the stolen goods as a reward, even if that bastard Geng Jingzhong asks like this, he will never be able to figure out the old man's movements."

    "That's the best. Chaozhou borders Fujian. The local garrison must have colluded with Geng Jingzhong's rebels. Only by hiding them all can we be sure." Yue Le nodded with satisfaction, but made the arrangement uneasy: "Old Prince  , Geng Jingzhong¡¯s children agreed to bring fifty entourages each. Although you can only carry so many entourages openly in order to avoid abusing others, these people must be the best, and all wear soft armor.  Soft armor, just in case. If something goes wrong, retreat immediately and send a signal, and Xiao Wang will immediately come out with ambushes to meet you."

    "Prince An, don't worry, even though I'm nearly eighty years old, there's still nothing wrong with dealing with that kid like Geng Jingzhong." The old man Shang snorted complacently, and persuaded: "Prince An, in my opinion, you'd better not  I¡¯ve gone to Chaozhou, so I¡¯d better stay in Guangzhou and sit in town, first, it¡¯s more dangerous there, and second, Guangzhou is inseparable from people sitting in town, if that disobedient old man takes the opportunity to make trouble, things will be difficult to deal with.¡±

    "My lord, I appreciate your kindness, but Xiao Wang of Chaozhou must go." Yue Le shook his head and said seriously: "It's not that Xiao Wang is worried about my lord, the key is that there must be no mistakes in this matter.  Fenshui Pass captured Geng Jingzhong and captured the king, otherwise, once he escaped, the consequences would be disastrous."

    "As for the old prince's young master Ling" Yue Le hesitated for a while, and finally said in a low voice: "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, although the old prince is bold and reckless, he is still very cautious in doing things.  He will rush in at will. So Xiao Wang believes that as long as the news that we have left Guangzhou is strictly sealed, he will not dare to act rashly without knowing our reality. At that time, as long as we succeed, we will first catch the thief Geng Jingzhong,  Fujian's bandit army fell down and the monkeys scattered, cut off his foreign aid, and he didn't dare to do whatever he wanted."

    "Well, since the prince insists on going, the old man can't stop me." The old traitor Shang didn't force it, he just told him: "But please also ask the prince to instruct General Shushu. After I leave Guangzhou, Guangzhou City  No matter what kind of troubles happen in the city, he must guard the inner city of Guangzhou where the Bannermen live. As long as we persist until we are finished and return to Guangdong, the old man's disobedient son is extremely capable, and he will not be able to turn the tide.  "

    Yue Le nodded in agreement, the current plan was determined, the old traitor Shang immediately summoned Geng Jingzhong's envoy Lin Riguang, and told himself that for the sake of family friendship between the Shang and Geng families, he agreed to Geng Jingzhong's request for a meeting, and agreed that each party would only bring fifty entourages,  He did not wear royal clothes and did not perform ceremonial guards to avoid disturbing the people. On April 12th in the twelfth year of Kang Mazi, he went to meet at Fenshuiguan in Chaozhou, which borders Guangdong and Fujian.  The meeting place chosen by the two of Geng can be predictable, mainly because the road from Guangzhou to Fuzhou and Chaozhou is the closest and the flattest, and Fenshuiguan is the boundary between Fujian and Guangdong, so it is the same for both parties who are suspicious of each other.  It's fair, so Fatty Lu can easily guess in the plan.

    The old traitor Shang agreed to Geng Jingzhong's request so readily, and Lin Riguang, the envoy of Jingnan Palace, was inevitably overjoyed. He left Guangzhou and returned to Fujian to report to Geng Jingzhong.  At this moment, Geng Jingzhong had already gone to the prefectural city of Zhangzhou to wait for the news. Seeing that the traitor Shang agreed to his request, Geng Jingzhong was also overjoyed, and smiled at his uncle Geng Jishan who was accompanying him: "Shang Kexi, the old thief agreed to our request so easily.  Request, after seeing this old thing, he finally knows that he is wrong. If this king really wants to harm him, the last time he detoured to JiangJinzhong shook his head, "I can't guess, I don't guess anymore, anyway, this old bastard must have no good intentions, and he will definitely harm us Han people again to please Mangou."

    "Junmen, the last general has discovered one more thing." Yang Xizhen reported in a low voice: "Shang Kexi is beside the old thief, and there is a middle-aged man in his forties with a very dignified expression.  And yes, the identity is certainly not simple."

    "A middle-aged man in his forties? Monks and old traitors riding side by side?" Liu Jinzhong was a little surprised, but soon came to his senses, and exclaimed in a low voice, "Could it be Yue Le? The king of An County, Yue Le, who is full of dogs?"

    "It's possible! Now in Guangdong Province, the only one who can sit on the same level as monks and traitors is this dog!" Yang Xizhen slapped his thigh, and quickly said in surprise: "Junmen, this is a godsend opportunity. If we can  Get rid of this big man dog and this old traitor, then we can avenge countless blood and blood for the soldiers and common people of the Ming Dynasty!"

    Liu Jinzhong also showed some excitement on his face. After standing up and walking around a dozen times in the small room, Liu Jinzhong suddenly stopped, turned to Yang Xizhen and asked, "How many troops did the old traitor bring this time?"

    "Not many, about a thousand." Yang Xizhen replied truthfully, and then quickly reminded: "However, the general can see that this thousand troops are the most elite soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is absolutely strong."

    "One thousand elite soldiers." Liu Jinzhong looked distressed, knowing that although he was determined to fight against the Qing, the absolutely loyal army he could control was only two to three thousand people. With this strength, there might be hope for defeating the old traitor's thousand elite soldiers, but  It would be extremely difficult to wipe out all of them.

    "No, this is a good opportunity, you can't miss it." After thinking about it, Liu Jinzhong still couldn't bear to miss this god-given opportunity. After gritting his teeth, Liu Jinzhong ordered: "Xi Zhen, you should send someone to Chenghai immediately, and let Chen Lian  On the pretext of assisting in arresting smugglers of salt, he led a thousand troops to Fenshui Pass overnight, ambushed at the mouth of Huanggang River, and waited for orders. Then he arranged for people to return to Chaozhou City, and let my two sons restrain the army and prepare for it.  Awaiting orders."

    "Junmen, our troops are too small, why don't the two young masters lead the army out of the city to meet them?" Yang Xizhen suggested.

    "No, they can't move." Liu Jinzhong shook his head and said in a low voice: "Don't forget, the family of the traitor Shen Rui (Mite Qingxu Shungong) still lives in Chaozhou City, and they also have more than 2,000 troops in their hands. My direct line  Once there is a movement, it will definitely not be hidden from their eyes."

    "Then our troops are still too small." Yang Xizhen reminded worriedly: "Brother Chen's 1,000 troops, plus my 600-odd troops here, only 1,600 people in total.  Thousand Elite Soldiers, it's too difficult."

    "We won't be the first to attack." Liu Jinzhong shook his head and said in a low voice: "Shang Kexi, since the old thief and Yue Lemangou took over the Fenshui Pass and set up an ambush in the Fenshui Pass, it means that they are preparing to deal with someone, and this  Other than Zheng Jing, Geng Jingzhong is the only one who is worthy of their joint action nearby. If these two guys are the real ones, their subordinates are definitely not flesh-and-blood, and they must be well-arranged. We can wait for them to fight and lose both.  , and then a praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows!"

    Note: Both Liu Jinzhong and Yang Xizhen are historical figures. In history, after the old traitor Wu Sangui played the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming, the petition spread to Guangdong.  Liu Jinzhong of Chaozhou General Army.  "Historical Materials of San Francisco in the Qing Dynasty" also records that before Liu Jinzhong raised his troops, the old traitor Shang reported to Kang Mazi, saying that Liu Jinzhong "did not respect Zhengshuo, and had already committed rebellion", and asked Kang Mazi to confiscate Liu Jinzhong's military power.  Later, when Liu Jinzhong couldn't wait for the support of the friendly army, and was flanked by the traitor Shang Lao and the traitor Huang Wu and his son from the north and the south, he still resolutely refused the Qing court's surrender and remained determined until he died a heroic death on the anti-Qing battlefield.

    Maintaining a high degree of vigilance and tormenting all night, when the sky was twilight, the scouts sent by the old traitor Shang and Yue Le to investigate the enemy's situation in the direction of Zhangzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province finally sent news-near Zhao'an City, a city in Fujian Province closest to Fenshui Pass, they found  Abnormal military situation, a Fujian army with a number of about 1,000 people stationed in Zhao'an City, the specific purpose is unknown.

    If it were normal, the old traitor Shang and Yue Le wouldn't bother to take care of such a large-scale mobilization of friendly troops, let alone be vigilant.  Normal behavior seems greatly suspicious!  Didn't it be agreed that each person would only bring fifty entourages to meet at Fen Shuiguan?  Why did you, Geng Jingzhong, bring thousands of troops? What are you planning to do?  Also, late last night, what was the meaning of the two unidentified scout boats appearing in succession on the sea east of Fenshui Pass?  Was it sent by you, Geng Jingzhong?

    Geng Jingzhong arranged an ambush in Zhao'an, Shang Lao traitor and Yue Le were not afraid, because Geng Jingzhong had an ambush, and they also had ambushes, but the two scout ships that appeared on the coast last night woke up Shang Lao traitor and Yue Le  Le, the old traitor Shang and Yue Le who were afraid of Geng Jingzhong's ambush from the sea quickly agreed that when we meet later, we will never leave the protection of the Fenshui Pass. We can only lure Geng Jingzhong into the pass.  They were captured alive in Guancheng.  As a precautionary measure, Old Traitor Shang and Yue Le also built a hanging gate in the north gate of Fenshui Pass overnight. At a critical moment, as long as the rope is cut and the hanging gate falls, Geng Jingzhong's team can be cut in half!

    When all the preparations were arranged, it was already the morning of April 12th in the twelfth year of Kang Mazi. At the same time, the scouts flew to report that a team of about 50 people had been found on the official road north of Fenshui Pass.  The rest of the knights, old traitor Shang and Yue Le dared not be negligent, quickly gathered the troops, let the guards in Guanzhong quiet down, hide their tracks, and opened the north gate to lure the enemy into the pass, and waited patiently on the gate tower  stand up.  During the period, although some scattered civilian merchants asked to pass through the customs, they were driven away by the defenders on the grounds of retreat.

    At three o'clock, dust and smoke billowed on the official roads of Fujian under the scorching sun. A team of knights galloped forward and stopped the horses' heads until half a mile before Fenshui closed. The old traitor Shang and Yue Le were also in the binoculars  It can be seen at a glance that the leader of this team is none other than King Jingnan - Geng Jingzhong!

    ?Because the banner of the old traitor Shang was not displayed above the Guancheng, Geng Jingzhong was not in a hurry to enter the pass, but sent his confidant guard Huang Yong to the front of the pass to ask questions about the situation in Guanzhong and whether the old traitor monk arrived.  After Huang Yong patted his horse and came to the bottom of the closed door, he raised his head and shouted from the closed door: "Brother Guan, I am the captain of the guard of Jingnan Prince's Mansion. My surname is Huang Mingyong. Dare I ask you brothers, whether your old Prince Shang of Pingnan has ever arrived  here?"

    "The old man is Shang Kexi." The old traitor Shang stood up from the wall and asked the guards to unfurl their own flag.  Huang Yong didn't dare to be negligent when he saw this, he quickly got off his horse and kowtowed, "Slave Huang Yong, please greet the old prince."

    "Go and tell you, Prince Jingnan." The old traitor Shang said very kindly: "This old man has been waiting here for a long time, but he came in a hurry and didn't prepare the guard of honor, so he didn't play gongs, drums and fine sand. Please forgive me."  Sin. Please let him come here, the old man will go down to welcome him."

    "Zha, this slave will report back to the lord." Huang Yong hurriedly agreed, and galloped back to Geng Jingzhong to report back. Geng Jingzhong didn't doubt him, and said with a smile that the old traitor Shang would have a day of being polite to others, and soon  He led the accompanying fifty guards over, and the old traitor Shang hurriedly left Yue Le to command on the wall, went down to the wall himself, and led fifty followers to the door to welcome Geng Jingzhong into the door.

    Seeing that Geng Jingzhong was getting closer and closer to closing the door, the old traitor Shang's heart beat faster and faster, but in order to show respect, Geng Jingzhong didn't dare to gallop the horse, and even dismounted and led the rein to walk. The speed was slower, and it tortured the old traitor Shang even more.  heart.  But fortunately, Geng Jingzhong didn't seem to realize that the situation was wrong. From a distance, his face was full of smiles, ready to try his best to please the old traitor Shang, and he was always approaching the Fenshui closed door with hidden murderous intentions

    If things go on as normal, Geng Jingzhong will be captured alive by the old traitor Shang and Yue Le in all likelihood, and the series of poisonous schemes that Fatty Lu racked his brains to arrange will be self-defeating, and instead help the Qing court to pacify Fujian  Chaos.  But just when the traitor Shang could clearly see the flattering smile on Geng Jingzhong's face, a voice with a Taiwanese accent suddenly came from among the rocks and bushes on the east side of the Fenshui Pass going north-south, "There is an ambush¡ª  ¡ª!¡±

    "Is there an ambush?!" Although the voice was not very loud and the distance was quite far away, the guards around Geng Jingzhong?The Qing army in Guangdong rebelled, and the traitor Shang led the Qing army in Fujian to quell the rebellion. What is this mess?  money back!  lose money!

    The chaos has reached this point, and it is beyond my ability to describe the chaos on the battlefield. In short, everyone on both sides of this battle does not know exactly what happened, why did the traitor Shang and Geng Jingzhong  Turn against each other?  Why did the Taiwanese army suddenly appear to help Geng Jingzhong clean up Shang Lao's traitors?  As for why Huang Fangdu, who originally belonged to Geng Jingzhong, would attack Geng Jingzhong, Liu Jinzhong, who originally belonged to the old traitor, suddenly decided to fall to Geng Jingzhong on the spur of the moment.  It's just a mess!

    To be honest, the scale of the Battle of Fenshuiguan was so small that it was nothing compared to other battles in San Francisco against the Qing.  It is comparable to the decisive battle of Anshun, the main force of the Qing Dynasty.

    The old traitor Shang and Yue Le were killed. They were caught off guard and suffered a disastrous defeat as a matter of course. After fleeing back to Chaozhou, Guangdong, Geng Zheng and the Liu Army pursued them all the way to the city of Chaozhou. The troops of Liu Jinzhong's two sons who were stationed in the city took the opportunity to open the city gate to welcome their father.  Returning triumphantly; Shen Rui, the big traitor who was also stationed in Chaozhou City, was not to be outdone, and led a traitor army loyal to him to start street fighting with Geng Zhengliu's army.  The old traitor Shang and Yue Le escaped from Chaozhou under his cover, and retreated to Huizhou in embarrassment. Chaozhou also became the first Han state capital in southeast China to get rid of the brutal rule of the Qing Dynasty.

    In the north, Huang Fangdu led the remnant army and fled to Zhangzhou to report to his father Huang Wu. However, the news leaked out. Zhao Desheng, the first Haicheng general who set up an anti-Qing banner in Fujian in history, was also very excited when he heard that Geng Jingzhong had risen.  Weeping bitterly, he immediately summoned his confidant generals to cut off the rat's tail, played the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming, and led the army to rob Huang Fangdu.  Entering Zhangzhou City, started a street battle with the traitor army of Huang Wu and his son, and joined forces with Wu Shu to drive Huang Wu and his son out of Zhangzhou, and recovered this important coastal defense town.

    The turmoil continued to expand. When the Taiwan Navy sent the news to Fuzhou with a clipper, Geng Jingzhong¡¯s uncle Geng Jimei, who was stationed in Fuzhou City, made a decisive decision. With the support of Geng Jingzhong¡¯s confidants Ma Jiuyu, Zeng Yangxing, Jiang Yuanxun, Bai Xianzhong and Xu Wenyao, etc.  Under the pretext that Fan Chengmo, governor of Fujian Province, colluded with old traitors to murder Geng Jingzhong, suddenly launched a mutiny to imprison Fan Chengmo and control Fuzhou City, and then under the order of Geng Jingzhong's letter, he raised the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming, announcing the rebellion against the Qing.  Geng Jingzhong had no way of turning back, and had no choice but to act first and control the entire territory of Fujian, otherwise, he would just wait for the main force of Mite Qing to react and catch him without a fight.

    The success of the battle in Fuzhou was far beyond the expectations of Geng Jingzhong and his uncles and nephews. As soon as the anti-Qing banner was launched, in addition to the ultra-hardcore traitor Fan Chengmo in Fuzhou, Fujian governor Liu Bingzheng, inspector Xi Shi, soldier Dao Lu Yingdou, Liang Dao Li Xueshi, etc.  He and the city guard Shen Wei and other important civil and military officials immediately went to the palace to cut their braids and surrender, expressing their willingness to follow Geng Jingzhong to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty (historical facts, recorded in "Minnan Ji").

    ?At the same time, Zheng Jing¡¯s army has repeatedly expressed goodwill to Geng Jingzhong¡¯s army, expressing their willingness to join forces with Geng Jingzhong to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and to give Geng Jingzhong¡¯s army the strongest and most powerful support!  And in order to express the sincerity of our alliance, Zheng Jing, who had already prepared before this, sent Jin Hanchen, the commander-in-chief of aid and suppression, to land in Chaozhou with 5,000 troops at the suggestion of Chen Yonghua.  Jingzhong defended the southern front, allowing Geng Jingzhong to concentrate on dealing with Fujian's internal issues and integrating the Fujian army.

    The anti-Qing cause is progressing so surprisingly smoothly, the allies are so strong and loyal, and anti-Qing righteous fighters emerge in endlessly among his subordinates and opponents. Geng Jingzhong was ecstatic when he heard the news, but he was also somewhat puzzled, "Isn't it right? I originally planned to  Wait for the old thief Wu Sangui to turn against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty before picking cheap ones? How did things turn out like this, and I became the rafter first?¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 229: Just the Beginning

    ?

    (ps: Continue to ask for monthly tickets, 2012 is coming, and it will be too late if you don¡¯t vote for the pure wolf.)

    Geng Jingzhong finally pulled up the flag to rebel in Fujian, swore an oath under the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming, and by the way also brought back Liu Jinzhong, the general soldier of Chaozhou who belonged to the Pingnan Palace, resulting in the fall of Chaozhou and the landing of the Taiwan army.  A series of sap sticks can beat the old traitor Shang and Yue Le hard. In their plan, they planned to capture the thief first, capture the king first and capture Geng Jingzhong to eliminate hidden dangers in Fujian in one fell swoop, but now Geng Jingzhong didn't get it  It also forced the whole of Fujian into reverse. How could Old Shang and Yue Le explain to Kang Mazi?

    It was also at this moment that Yue Le, the only one in the Qing court who was jealous of Fatty Lu, finally woke up and found a lot of things that were wrong and abnormal.  But there was absolutely no plan to force Geng Jingzhong to turn against him, did he?  When did we think about Geng Jingzhong capturing the thief first and capturing the king first? It seems to be when we saw through Geng Juzhong's fraudulent surrender, right?  Did I take the wrong medicine at that time? Why did I immediately come up with a plan to trap Geng Jingzhong after hearing that Geng Jingzhong was going to trap Shang Kexi?

    Is it a coincidence?  There are still masters who have already figured out their eagerness to eliminate hidden dangers in Fujian, and even their dark consciousness of eagerness to establish meritorious deeds to prove their innocence to the emperor.  He led by the nose and set a trap for Geng Jingzhong, which led to Geng Jingzhong's rebellion and the complete outbreak of hidden dangers in Fujian?

    Is he the only one who falls into the trap?  Thinking up to this point, Yue Le couldn't help shivering, and suddenly discovered an extremely unreasonable link - if Geng Jingzhong really planned to trap or kill Shang Kexi and himself, then he would definitely bring the most elite and most loyal  Why would the army borrow troops from Huang Wu?  As a result, Huang Wu and his son, who were loyal to the Qing court, defected and almost killed Geng Jingzhong. Is this reasonable?

    What's even more unreasonable is that Huang Fangdu also made it very clear at the time that Geng Jingzhong borrowed soldiers on a temporary basis in order to take precautions and ensure his own personal safety.  Under the circumstances of time arrangement and preparation, why did you decide to borrow troops on the spur of the moment?  Borrowing an unreliable army to do such a big thing?  Is Geng Jingzhong stupid?

    "Could it be that? All of us have been tricked?" At this point in the analysis, Yue Le's body began to drip with cold sweat, "Could it be that this incident was an extremely huge trap from the very beginning?  Jingzhong, are they all prey to fall into this trap? Without even realizing it, this king was lured by the suggestion of this master who set up the trap, and came up with the idea of ??planning to capture Geng Jingzhong alive, and this master lured Geng Jingzhong into the trap.  My little trap, let us completely tear our skins apart, forcing Geng Jingzhong to rebel if he doesn't, and he hides behind his back to reap the benefits? We, the three majestic princes of the Qing Dynasty, were all played by this master?  "

    "Immediately, go and bring Geng Juzhong here!" After having this idea, Yue Le immediately jumped up like crazy and ordered Geng Juzhong to be interrogated.  After a while, Geng Juzhong was escorted in front of Yue Le, and Yue Le immediately asked, "Son Geng Juzhong, I ask you, why did you agree when the old thief Wu Sangui sent you to Guangzhou to feign surrender? Why did you do it for Wu Sangui?"  The old thief takes this risk?"

    "My lord, the criminal doesn't want to come." Geng Juzhong replied with a sad face: "The criminal refused in every possible way, and even kowtowed to the old thief Wu Sangui, but the old thief Wu Sangui just wanted to force the criminal to come to Guangzhou to feign surrender, and even threatened the criminal.  The minister said that if the guilty minister did not come to pretend to surrender, he would immediately cut the guilty minister with a knife on his neck, so the guilty minister had no choice but to come. Later, the old thief Wu Sangui was afraid that the criminal minister would escape halfway, so he specially sent Lu Yifeng as a dog thief  Escorted the criminals to Wuzhou, even when the criminals boarded the boat, Lu Yifeng sent someone to escort the criminals to the boat!"

    Yue Le was completely paralyzed, and there was only one thought left in his mind, "Dead time! Absolutely dead time! The old thief Wu Sangui sent him to feign surrender, hoping that he would turn against him and make us believe the words of this dead time.  Jingzhong is going to attack us, and lures Lao Tzu to think of scheming! But in fact, the news this idiot heard from Wu Sangui's old thief is all false, but Lao Tzu saw through his false surrender, and he was so overjoyed that he didn't expect that he would do the same.  The suitor!"

    "Then, do you know who is the old thief Wu Sangui who suggested that you come here to feign surrender?" Yue Le asked without giving up, holding on to the last ray of hope.

    "Well, this criminal minister doesn't know." Geng Juzhong said dejectedly: "The criminal minister dare not lie to the lord, the criminal minister is extremely disregarded by the old thief Wu Sangui, and usually just wants to see the old thief Wu Sangui or the important ministers around him  hardIt won't be too late to deal with Geng Jingzhong slowly.  "

    "If that's the case, it's terrible." Xiao Erlang said in a panic, "If it turns out that all of this is a trap arranged by us, then Geng Jingzhong will definitely hate us to the bone, and he is afraid of the whole country full of dogs."  Li, maybe he will accept the appeasement of Emperor Mangou and let us waste all our previous efforts. And Master Wang, he is in danger in Fujian."

    "Don't worry about Master Wang's safety." Fatty Lu shook his head, "Geng Jingzhong has already raised the banner of anti-Qing, unless he wants to offend our prince to death, even if he finds out that he has been fooled, he will not attack Master Wang casually."  , with Master Wang's shrewdness and ability, it is not difficult to get out and protect yourself."

    "Oh, that's good." Xiao Erlang patted his chest, "It's good that Master Wang is fine¡ªthe two taels of silver he borrowed from me for drinking wine last time, but he hasn't returned it yet."

    In the end, Xiao Erlang asked worriedly: "Master, if Emperor Mangou adopts a strategy of appeasing Geng Jingzhong, do you have any countermeasures?"

    "Not yet." Fatty Lu shook his head, and smiled again: "But don't worry, Monk Yue Le is so happy that even if the old traitor decides to take Geng Juzhong to the capital, the speed on the way will definitely not be as fast as ours.  Six hundred miles to send the news quickly, we still have time to prepare for it. Moreover, Yue Le and Shang Kexi must have no direct evidence to prove that all of this was arranged by us. It can only be reported and analyzed based on the whole story  , as long as you give me a little time, I will definitely come up with a way to crack it, and maybe I can continue to plant the blame on Yue Le and Shang Kexi's old traitors in turn, so that they will not be able to clean up even more by jumping into the Yellow River."

    "I believe the young master will definitely be able to do it!" Xiao Erlang hurriedly flattered again, patted his chest and said, "My young master is the reincarnation of a god, with amazing calculations, even if millions of dogs are added together, they can't compare to the young master's little toe!"

    "Get out, stop flattering." Fatty Lu laughed and scolded, "Don't bother me, I'm going to start figuring out countermeasures."

    Xiao Erlang quickly shut up, retreated to the side and waited with his head bowed, while Fatty Lu looked at the misty Pearl River and calculated, "If the old traitor Monk Yue Le escorts Geng Juzhong to Beijing, I suggest that Kang Mazi adopt a policy of appeasement towards Geng Jingzhong.  How will Mazi react? How will Geng Jingzhong react when he finds out? If we ignore it, what will be the consequences? If I want to crack it the other way around, how should I arrange it?"

    "Master, Master." Xiao Erlang's soft call interrupted Fatty Lu's contemplation, "Master, the urgent report sent by your teacher Liu Xuanchu from Yunnan is about the Young Madam and the Young Master."

    "How are they, you can just tell me." Fatty Lu's heart tightened, and he hardly had the courage to read Liu Xuanchu's letter.

    "You were expected, young master." Xiao Erlang flipped through the letter, and said cautiously: "The Third General Line caught up with the young lady and the young master at Luoping Pier, but the young lady insisted on going back to Guangdong to visit my mother, and she pretended to be dead."  Forced, Third General Line only took back the young master, and the young lady was taken away by Shang Kexi's old thief."

    Fatty Lu was silent, as if such a picture appeared in front of his eyes, Shang Wanyi, who was crying like a tearful person, was standing on the boat, holding his neck with a knife, forcing Lan Yuxuan's pursuers to retreat, while Lu Bangjing was in Lan Yuxuan's arms.  Crying and screaming, clapping and beating her little hands, struggling desperately, crying until her voice was almost hoarse

    "I'm sorry for their wives." Fatty Lu sighed, and murmured: "Let her go, maybe my marriage with her was a mistake, how could a person like me find the daughter of a hardcore traitor as my wife?"  What about my wife? She has such a stubborn personality, even if there is no such thing, sooner or later I will be at odds with her."

    "Master, since the young lady boarded the boat at Luoping." Xiao Erlang suggested again: "Then her boat must go through Wuzhou before returning to Guangdong.  find out."

    "No." Fatty Lu shook his head and murmured in a low voice: "It might be better for her to go back to her mother's house in the future.  She killed her. But if she continues to stay in Yunnan, then at that time, that group of people will do anything to her"

    After muttering to this point, Fatty Lu closed his eyes, and two tears slowly oozed from the corners of his eyes, rare tears of true affection.

    Xiao Erlang was silent, and only then did he understand why Fatty Lu made such a shocking move back then, and also understood why Fatty Lu was not only not a little bit nervous when he learned that the traitor Shang was planning to trap his daughter and grandson, but also a little surprised.  But because of this, only Xiao Erlang, who has witnessed Fatty Lu and Shang Wanyi's acquaintance and love from beginning to end, can understand the pain in Fatty Lu's heart.

    Fatty Lu was dejected on the tower, but what Fatty Lu didn't know was that at his feet, on an ordinary civilian boat on the water of the Pearl River, a pair of beautiful eyes hazy with tears were also staring at the gloomy and dilapidated city.  The Wuzhou city tower burst into tears.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

 Chapter 230 The villain sues first

    ?

    (ps: It¡¯s still the same sentence, 2012 is only a few hours away, and it will be too late if you don¡¯t vote for the pure wolf.)

    Because of the distance between the distance and the speed of news transmission, when the old traitor Shang and Yue Le sent the team to Beijing to escort Geng Juzhong around Fujian and slowly swayed northward, it was also Lai Kang Mazi who was strict in order to deal with the old traitor Wu.  The post station was prepared to pass on the blessings efficiently, and it was only on April 26th that Geng Jingzhong raised the anti-flag to collude with Taiwan Zheng Jing and the Guangdong Qing army at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong. The news has already been sent to the capital of the Qing Dynasty.  It was delivered to Kang Mazi, the supreme chief of the mite.

    Hearing this news, Kang Mazi, who was still immersed in the pain of Xing Chi's murder, was completely paralyzed, and went crazy again, jumped up and kicked the pseudo-dragon case over again, staring round with numb eyes, hysterical big  Yelling, "Geng Jingzhong, you thief! You barbarian! You are so daring! I won't cut you to pieces, I swear I won't be human! I won't be human¡ª!"

    "Reverse! Reverse! The barbarians are all rebellious, the old thief Wu Sangui is rebellious, the dog thief Geng Jingzhong is also rebellious, the bitch Kong Sizhen is also missing, and they all abandoned me! All the barbarians in the world are thieves  , They are all dog thieves, they are all unfamiliar wolf cubs! Barbarians! Get out! Get out of here! Get out of me¡ª¡ª! Even if all the barbarians in the world turn against me, I will not be afraid!  , I will kill all of you, cut them into pieces, and put them to death! I am not afraid! Come! Come! Come all to me! Barbarians! Barbarians¡ª¡ª!"

    Seeing that Kang Mazi was so angry, Kang Mazi Suo'etu, Mingzhu, Feng Pu, Zhang Ying, Gao Shiqi and others present all had their foreheads on the ground, trembling and trembling on the floor of the South Study Room, all frowning, helpless, and even tried to persuade him.  Kang Mazi didn't even have the courage to speak to calm his anger.  No way, with Geng Jingzhong¡¯s rebellion, the already extremely bad situation of the Qing court became even worse. Most of the money, grain and silver obtained by extortion and extortion, as well as the newly recruited army that had been reorganized with great difficulty and had no time to train  If you have to go to the southeast battlefield, the eradication and peace of the Wu Sangui Rebellion will be far away.

    For the Qing court, the most terrifying thing is that Geng Jingzhong's rebels went north and entered Zhejiang, directly destroying the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River that threatened the Qing court. If this is the case, then the vitality is already great  The wounded mite Qing court wants to form an army enough to calm the southwest, it will be even more difficult and difficult to know when.

    "Shang Kexi, Yue Le, dog thief! Trash! Idiot!" Roaring and cursing like crazy, Kang Mazi, who likes to shirk responsibility, naturally pointed his finger at the poor Prince An and the old prince, kicking the pseudo-dragon case  Red eyes scolded, "When you left Beijing, what did I say? How did I explain it? Thousands of times, I asked you to temporarily stabilize Geng Jingzhong's dog thief, temporarily stabilize Geng Jingzhong's dog thief, you just didn't listen!  Don¡¯t listen! You just want to force Geng Jingzhong, a dog thief, to turn him back! Do you take Zhen¡¯s will into your heart? Did you do it on purpose?¡±

    "Are you deliberately trying to help Geng Jingzhong, the dog thief and Wu Sangui, to overturn my dragon chair and ruin my world? Did you do it on purpose? Was it on purpose? Dog thief! Idiot! Trash  !idiot¡ª¡ª!"

    I don't know how long it took until Kang Mazi roared until his voice was hoarse, his chest burst in anger, and he slumped back on the pseudo-dragon chair, unable to swear anymore, Mingzhu walked two steps forward on his knees, kowtowed cautiously and said, "Master, please!"  Don't worry, Geng Jingzhong's dog thief has long turned his back, and his master has a long-term vision, and he has already deployed heavy troops in southern Zhejiang and eastern Zhejiang to prepare for defense. Even if Geng Jingzhong's dog thief tries to go north, it will not be so easy to kill the hinterland of Zhejiang. Besides, Geng  The loyal dogs and bandits are far inferior to the old bandit Wu Sangui, and even with the help of Taiwan¡¯s Zheng Ni, it¡¯s only a drop in the bucket, and we can¡¯t turn up a big storm. The master only needs to send a general to lead the army south, and the chaos in Fujian can be put down just around the corner.¡±

    "It's easy to say, send a general to the south? What about the soldiers?" Kang Mazi asked feebly, "Where did the soldiers come from? Of the 400,000 Qing troops, more than 200,000 were killed by the old thief Wu Sangui."  Contained in Huguang, Shaanxi and Jiangxi, of the remaining 200,000 troops, 50,000 to 60,000 were surrounded in Guangdong, and the remaining 100,000 had to guard Jiangnan, guard against Rakshasa, guard against Haer, and guard  The local government is defending the capital, and everywhere is stretched, and everywhere is unable to make ends meet. From where can I get the army to go to Fujian to suppress the rebellion? You can do tricks for me?"

    "Master, you can transfer troops from the Huguang battlefield." Mingzhu is worthy of being the number one hawk under Kang Mazi's command, and immediately replied: "Drop 50,000 troops from the Huguang battlefield and go down the Yangtze River Canal, and it will take less than half a month to reach Hangzhou.  The 30,000 troops of the Green Battalion of Banner Soldiers in Zhejiang are more than enough to put down Geng Jingzhong's bandits."

    "Fart!" Kang Mazi was furious, and said angrily, "What should we do if the old thief Wu Sangui takes the opportunity to cross the river with troops dispatched from the Huguang battlefield?"

    "The humble opinion of the slave,?Although it¡¯s not very big, it¡¯s a pity that, thanks to the Shameless Mite Legacy, Fatty Lu happened to know this handsome Mongolian guy who made Zhou Peigong and Tuhai famous in the battle

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    If things go according to Monk Yue Le's old traitor's expectations, and when their memorials and witness Geng Juzhong are sent to Beijing, then Kang Mazi, who is devastated, will most likely agree to their suggestion and try to deal with Geng Jingzhong, who hastily raised troops.  Geng Jingzhong, who took pacification measures and was forced to raise troops by mistake of Wu Jun's tricks, planned for his own interests, and probably accepted Kang Mazi's pacification, and temporarily calmed down after getting some benefits, so as to give Kang Mazi a little breathing time.  But it's a pity that there is a bad breed named Lu Yifeng who is ahead of his game. He sent Wu old traitor Wu a bad idea from Wuzhou, so Wu old traitor's memorial was expedited by six hundred miles from the mite Qing post station.  It was sent to the capital a few days in advance, and sent to Kang Mazi in advance.

    What is extremely vicious is that the memorial written by the old traitor Wu was sent to Kang Mazi. Before it was delivered to Kang Mazi, the Qing court¡¯s general ministers, the Ministry of War, and the large and small post stations along the way had already known the content of the memorial.  , and the content is even more vicious¡ªthe old traitor Wu reported to Kang Mazi that King Yuele of Qing'an County colluded with King Shang Kexi of Pingnan, King Geng Jingzhong of Jingnan, and Prince Burni of Chahar of Mongolia in an attempt to conspire.  The court usurped the throne and changed Yuan to Yongzheng!

    By the way, a situation that I forgot just now, the eldest daughter of our Prince An Yuele (no name record), married a Mongolian prince, and this Mongolian prince happened to be named Burni-this is what Fatty Lu is studying  I accidentally discovered it when Yue Le was in the situation.

    As the number one loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Pingxi, of course, did not frame him indiscriminately. We also had evidence and physical evidence to report Prince An Yue Le's attempted rebellion.  Our Lord Pingxi told Kang Mazi that half a month ago, Lord An suddenly sent a secret envoy to Wuchang, asking Lord Pingxi to send troops eastward to attack Jiangxi, and Lord An said that he had already contacted Jingnan Wang Geng  Jingzhong, King Pingnan Shang Kexi and Prince Chahar Burni are planning to launch an attack together to usurp our Emperor Kangxi's Huahuajiangshan.  After the event was completed, Yue Le ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, changed Yuan to Yongzheng, sent Huguang and Jiangxi provinces to Prince Pingxi, allowed Prince Pingxi to proclaim himself emperor in the southwest, and promised never to offend each other.

    In order to reassure Prince Pingxi, Prince An also explained his detailed plan in his handwritten letter to Prince Pingxi. First, let Geng Jingzhong pretend to fly the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming to attract the strategic attention of Emperor Kangxi, and then Prince An and Prince Nan  On the pretext of going north to counter the rebellion, he suddenly entered Jiangxi, forcing Emperor Kangxi to devote all his main force to the southern battlefield. Prince An's filial and beloved son-in-law, Lord Burni, took the opportunity to raise troops, suddenly attacked Zhangjiakou, and drove straight into the capital to demand the life of Emperor Kangxi.  After his death, Yue Le took the opportunity to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, recruiting all the armies of the Qing Dynasty without a leader, and pacifying the world in one fell swoop.

    Prince Pingxi also stated in the memorial that after reading the letter, he became furious and immediately ordered the arrest of the secret envoy Yue Le. He never wanted to secretly use the poison he carried with him to commit suicide.  In the capital, the messenger's body was put into a coffin and sent to Hanyang as a witness.  At the same time, Prince Pingxi also volunteered, saying that he was going to send troops to Fujian to help Emperor Kangxi put down Geng Jingzhong¡¯s rebellion, but there was still Jiangxi between Huguang and Fujian, so Prince Pingxi boldly made a request, hoping that Emperor Kangxi would allow him to temporarily take part in the war.  In charge of Jiangxi, after the rebellion is suppressed, it will be returned with both hands!

    ¡ª¡ªThe last sentence, regardless of whether the young and suspicious Emperor Kangxi believes it or not, anyway, our mature and prudent Prince Pingxi himself believes it.

    After reading the extremely shameless memorial written by old traitor Wu, Kang Mazi really wanted to wipe his ass with this memorial written by old traitor Wu.  , but it made Kang Mazi break out in a cold sweat. No one knows better than Kang Mazi how empty the current defense of the capital is. If the Chahar cavalry really launched a surprise attack from behind, then Kang Mazi would have a lot of fun  went.

    Frightened, Kang Mazi couldn't help picking up the so-called Yue Le's handwritten letter to read carefully, and found that the handwriting was indeed written by Yue Le, and the seal was indeed Yue Le's prince's seal, although Kang Mazi knew how to imitate it.  Handwriting is very easy, and seals can also be carved out of radishes - and Yue Le has now been reduced to the king of the county.  But Kang Mazi couldn't help but another thought came to him, "Old thief Wu Sangui, why did he make such an obvious fake memorial? What's his purpose? Also, is Yue Le's son-in-law, Burni, really unreliable?"

    "Why don't you just find an excuse and order Burni to come to Beijing for a visit?" Kang Mazi suddenly had another thought, "If Burni dares to come to the capital to meet His Majesty, then needless to say, the old thief Wu Sangui is  I¡¯m farting, and I¡¯m playing some tricks. But if Burnie dare not come, or simply refuses, then¡­¡­.¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 231 Fatty Lu, Betray!

    ?

    (ps: Fatty Lu finally betrayed the old traitor Wu. Friends, please look at Fatty Lu¡¯s courage and face 2012 bravely. By the way, vote for the last monthly ticket of this year and next year¡¯s monthly ticket for Pure Wolf.)

    Sai Leng, the emissary sent by Kang Mazi to summon Yue Le's son-in-law Burni, had just left Beijing for five days.  When Ninetowns handed over the documents and requested to enter the city.  A memorial with an extraordinary origin was sent to the capital at the same time through a long-forgotten transmission channel, and it was sent directly to Kang Mazi before the team's documents.

    The reason why this memorial was sent to Kang Mazi before others was not because of the high official position of the official who presented it. According to the archive records of the Ministry of Officials, the grade of this official is only from the fourth grade¡ª¡ª  In the joke of the bannerman master, there are many more bastards in Yongding River than such sesame and mung bean officials.

    The reason why this memorial was able to be delivered to Kang Mazi ahead of others was because the name of the official presenting the memorial was Lu Yifeng, with the word Sanhao, also known as Fatty Lu.  At the same time, his memorial was directly sent to Kang Mazi through the channel of Suo Ertu, the chief assistant of the Qing Dynasty. Friends, please tell me, how can such an astonishing official and such an outstanding channel be in front of Kang Mazi?  Do you have an advantage in delivery speed?

    To change other memorials from the fourth-rank magistrate from poor mountains and bad waters, and submit them to Kang Mazi through the hand of Suo'etu, the chief assistant of the court, Kang Mazi will definitely scold Suo'etu¡ª¡ªhe is a majestic Qing highest  The chief, with a lot of work to do every day, has nothing to do and eats enough to see a magistrate's memorial in person.  But when he learned that the memorial was written by Fatty Lu, Kang Mazi not only didn't scold Suo'etu, but was stunned all of a sudden, and blurted out in shock: "How is it possible that Lu Yifeng's memorial is from a thief?"

    "Master, when I first received the booklet, the slave couldn't believe it." Suo'etu replied with deep empathy: "In fact, not only the slave, but also the servants of the slave couldn't believe it. In the end, the envoy threatened to say, if  The disciple didn't pass the memorial to the servant for him, so he went to Wang Xu, Minister of the Ministry of War, and asked Wang Xu to pass it on to the master, and the slave's disciple reported the incident to the servant."

    "Submit it quickly!" Kang Mazi shouted in surprise and joy, but when Zhang Wanqiang presented the memorial to Kang Mazi, Kang Mazi, who realized that he had lost his composure, became arrogant again, and hummed with his arms folded: "  I don¡¯t want to get my hands dirty with the things of the shameless dog slave, so just tell me, what did this dog slave fart on the memorial!¡±

    "Master, this is Lu Yifeng's dog thief impeaching Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi and Anjun Wang Yuele." Suo Ertu, who had read the memorial, replied respectfully: "Lu Yifeng's dog thief reported that Pingnan King Shang Kexi  Wang Yuele of Yu'an County falsely claimed that Princess Pingnan was seriously ill, and attempted to kidnap his wife Shang Wanyi and youngest son Lu Bangjing. The crime was obvious and the court's face was greatly damaged.  His lovely wife and young son."

    "Shang Kexi and Yue Le succeeded?" Kang Mazi asked in surprise.

    "Judging from Lu Yifeng's memorial to the dog thief, it should be successful." Suo Etu respectfully replied: "However, Guangdong is far away, and because of Geng Jing's loyalty to the dog thief, the roads in Fujian are impassable.  It may take a few days to report this matter quickly."

    "It's good if you get it, it's good if you get it." Kang Mazima, who had been grim for a long time, finally showed some joy on his face, grabbed the memorial and looked at it carefully and said with a smile: "If Old Prince Shang and Yue Le can take advantage of this opportunity,  Getting Lu Yifeng's dog thief from Wu Sangui's old thief is equivalent to cutting off an arm of Wu Sangui's old thief."

    "The servant thinks so too." Suo'etu hurriedly echoed: "If the old prince Shang can take this opportunity to get Lu Yifeng's dog thief to Guangdong, then maybe the master doesn't need to draw troops from the Huguang battlefield.  The army is enough to put down Geng Jingzhong and Taiwan's Zheng Ni."

    "That's right!" Kang Mazi nodded vigorously, and said with a smile: "If Lu Yifeng's dog thief can really be used by Shang Aiqing, then relying on Guangdong's abundant manpower, material resources and financial resources, which are far superior to those of Yunnan and Guizhou, Shang Aiqing will be able to build a  Produce a batch of new firearms that are sufficient to quell Geng Jingzhong's rebellion. Give him another two years, and the new firearms produced will be enough to sweep Guangxi and restore Yunnan and Guizhou"

    "Huh?" Having said this, Kang Mazi suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, and was suddenly stunned.

    "Master, what's the matter?" Suo'etu was also taken aback, and then quickly came to his senses, exclaiming: "Master, you can't let Lu Yifeng's thief build new firearms in Guangdong! Otherwise, it will be a few years, but it is gratifying.  The second Wu Sangui! Even if Lord Shang is loyal to his master, Shang Zhixin will become the second old thief Wu Sangui!?With a little hope, he hurriedly shouted: "Xuan." Suo'etu and Mingzhu also kept their mouths shut, waiting to see what the happy event would be.

    "Zha!" The little eunuch kowtowed coolly, got up and ran down.  A moment later, Huang Xigun, the servant of the military department who made great contributions to Kang Mazi's eradication of Aobai's party, rushed into the South Study Room. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down on his knees and couldn't wait to shout loudly: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, Guangxi's accurate military situation  According to the report, Wu Sangui's army of bandits killed each other and fought among themselves, and his grandson Wu Shizong arrested the bandit general Lu Yifeng, put the bandit general Lu Yifeng into a prison cart, and escorted him to Wuchang!"

    "Wu Sangui's old thief caught Lu Yifeng's dog thief?" Kang Mazi was so surprised that he couldn't believe his ears, he jumped up and asked, "Why? Why did Wu Sangui's old thief arrest Lu Yifeng's dog thief? Did you find out the reason?"

    "Lu Yifeng's dog thief betrayed Wu Sangui." Huang Xigun replied with a smile: "He leaked Wu Sangui's old thief's new firearm sketch and new gunpowder formula to Guangdong Pingnan Palace, and was discovered by the eyeliner Wu Shizong sent to Wuzhou to monitor Lu Yifeng  , Wu Shizong immediately used the excuse of adding troops to Lu Yifeng, and taking advantage of the opportunity of Lu Yifeng's dog thief coming out of the city to meet him, he took Lu Yifeng's dog thief down on the spot! Our detailed work also found unconfirmed news that Lu Yifeng's dog thief,  It is also very likely that the sketch of the flying boat was also sold to Pingnan Palace."

    "Okay!" Kang Mazi was overjoyed, he slammed the table, and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, okay! Lu Yifeng's dog thief helped the evil, and finally got his retribution! Wu Sangui's old thief's magic weapon, I finally  Got it!"

    "My emperor's prosperity is equal to the sky, and the gods are blessed! Long live, long live, long live!" Mingzhu, Suo'etu, Zhang Ying and others who were present hurriedly knelt down together, shouted in unison, and flattered.

    "Hurry up, send the decree to Shang Aiqing!" Kang Mazi hurriedly ordered: "Let him quickly send all the things Lu Yifeng gave him, remember, never copy and backup! Also, pass the decree, King Pingnan  It is still gratifying to be crowned Prince Pingnan!"

    "Zha." Zhang Yingfei quickly kowtowed, and quickly stood up to draw up an order.  But at this moment, a young eunuch came in from outside the door, kowtowed and said: "My lord, Wang Xu, Minister of the Ministry of War, asked to see him, saying that there is an urgent military report, and I beg my lord to summon him immediately."

    "Biography." Kang Mazi waved his hand graciously, and he didn't care so much about the word 'urgent'. With Fatty Lu's firearms, gunpowder and airship, plus Kang Mazi's own national power, this will still happen.  Who do you need to be afraid of?

    The little eunuch took the order and left. After a while, Wang Xu, who was obviously much thinner, hurried into the South Study Room. Because he walked too fast, he was almost tripped by the threshold, and finally stood still in embarrassment.  It's rare to see Wang Xu, who is usually serious and unsmiling, so embarrassed. Kang Mazi, Mingzhu and the others couldn't help snickering, but Wang Xu's next words made Kang Mazi and the others unable to laugh anymore.

    "Your Majesty, something is wrong! Princess Makata, who is married to Mongolian Chahar Khan Abnai's entourage, Shi Xinzhu, sent his younger brother Ajigen to Beijing in secret to report to the minister¡ªAbunai's eldest son, Prince An Yue Le  My son-in-law, Burni, is trying to rebel!"

    (Note: Princess Miqing, who was married to the Abunai brothers, followed Shi Xinzhu, who sent his younger brother Ajigen to Beijing to inform Kang Mazi. He was the first to reveal that Berni was planning to rebel. This is a historical fact, which is also included in "Qing History Materials".)  (To be continued.

 Chapter 232

    ?

    (ps: 2102 is here, I wish my friends a happy new year and all the best. In addition, please ask for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, subscriptions, rewards and clicks. In the new year, friends, please continue to support more and more honest and pure wolves.)

    Not to mention, Fatty Lu was really put into a prison car and escorted to Wuchang City. All the officials, civilians, soldiers and soldiers along the way knew that Fatty Lu had betrayed the secret firearms of Prince Pingxi¡¯s residence to Prince Pingnan¡¯s residence.  The super popular man who became a prisoner suffered such a miserable retribution.

    Why do all the soldiers and civilians passing by the prison car know about it?  There is no way, our Fatty Lu is too wronged and wronged¡ªjust like Fatty Lu¡¯s loyal lackeys Xiao Erlang and the third brothers of the Liu family wiped their tears and told passers-by that it was Prince An of the Qing Dynasty who sent Fatty Lu¡¯s family  Binding tickets, using the lives of Fatty Lu's family as a threat to force Fatty Lu to reveal the secrets of firearms, Fatty Lu is really helpless, and Fatty Lu did not betray all the secrets, only the formula of the new gunpowder.

    In short, it is not our Fatty Lu who is hateful and damned, but our Prince An, Yue Le!  Our Fatty Lu is just a victim of being threatened by the despicable, shameless and wretched Wang Ye Yue Le!

    Whether Fatty Lu was wronged, or whether he was kidnapped by Prince An, let¡¯s not discuss him for the time being. In short, when the news that Fatty Lu was arrested by Wu Jun because of selling the secrets of the new firearms in the Pingxi Palace reached Guangzhou, the Pingnan Palace exploded.  pot!  Yue Le suspected that Fatty Lu was playing tricks, and even more suspected that Shang Kexi and his son had obtained this priceless secret, and concealed the news from him in order to monopolize it.  The old traitor Shang suspected Yue Le and his eldest son Shang Zhixin, and hurriedly reported the situation to Kang Mazi.

    As for our eldest son Shang Zhixin Shang, he is even more of a man of action. Almost on the day when the news reached Guangzhou, the eyeliner that appeared next to the old prince Pingnan suddenly doubled, and his study and bedroom were stolen one after another.  The thieves of unknown origin turned upside down, and there was also Prince An, and the number of eyeliners and secret agents around him suddenly increased several times.  It's true that not all of them are sent by myself-the ones sent by myself only account for half of them at most!

    There are also Taiwan's Zheng Jing and Geng Jingzhong of the Jingnan Palace. After hearing the news, they also quickly stepped up their reconnaissance efforts on the Pingnan Palace.  During the relocation of an army of thousands of people, Leng Shi discovered 30 to 40 secret agents of unknown origin to monitor and spy, but it also saved a lot of anti-espionage expenses for the old traitor.  For the first time in his life, Fatty did a good deed of being filial to his father-in-law.

    Jokes are jokes, and humor is humor. In order to create signs of the theft of new firearms, Fatty Lu's uncle Wu Shizong has spent a lot of money. Just escorting Fatty Lu's prison car has reached a thousand-strong army.  Armed with guns and closely guarded, as vicious as a tiger and as aggressive as a wolf, he swaggered through the city and crossed the city along the way, causing everyone along the way to stare and whisper.  And poor Fatty Lu can only sit in the prison car obediently, enduring the bumpy journey and insults from the people. Only when there is no one else in the dead of night can he get out of the prison car and move his legs around the prison car.

    Facing such a situation, Fatty Lu himself was flattered and humiliated.  There was no one else around, so he persuaded Fatty Lu in a low voice: "Young master, what's the matter? In order to create the illusion that the firearms secrets were stolen, why are you wronging yourself like this? I feel distressed just looking at it."

    "No way, the enemy is too cunning, how can the enemy be fooled if you don't act like a trick?" Fatty Lu replied casually while kicking his fat legs to activate his blood.

    "But even if the enemy is fooled, so what?" Xiao Erlang said unconvinced: "It's amazing to kill the dog Yue Leman and the old traitor Shang Kexi. These two guys are often defeated by your subordinates, Young Master.  They are not your opponents at all, young master, if you want to deal with them, young master, you can kill them directly on the battlefield, why do you want to use such a cruel trick to wrong yourself like this?"

    "You're wrong." Fatty Lu shook his head, walking with his hands behind his back, and said to Xiao Erlang in a low voice: "Since ancient times, famous invincible generals have always fought more carefully and never underestimated any enemy.  Rookie and novice, you have to be more careful and cautious. And the monk Yue Le and the old traitor are definitely not as incompetent as you imagined. The reason why they were defeated by me before was because they treated me lightly.  Heart, I suffered a big loss under carelessness, now they have seen how powerful I am, and they will come back later???  "Yue Le was like being struck by lightning, and then suddenly came to his senses, crying and wailing heart-piercingly, "Lu Yifeng, you bastard, you are trying to trap me to death!"  Where did this king provoke you? How could you frame me with such a vicious trick?  Dog thief, you traitor, traitor¡ª¡ª!  "

    It's useless to cry like this anymore, with a hapless son-in-law like Burni and a top enemy like Fatty Lu, no matter how much Yue Le cries for injustice, he won't be able to clear it up by jumping into the Yellow River¡ªbut there's no other way  No matter how stupid the emperor is, he would not take it lightly if the clan generals who possessed military power were suspected of attempting rebellion, let alone Kang Mazi, who was worried about his own son.  So our unlucky Prince An had no choice but to be taken down by the guards, and then put into a prison van, and sent to the capital for trial by imperial envoy Wu Dan.

    It was also at this time that Wu Dan, who saw that the old traitor Shang really had no intention of treason, told the truth to the old traitor Shang, "My lord, the master still has an order. Belle Leer Jin will take over Yue Le's mission. Le Belle is now in Ganzhou city.  Here, after I send the news to Ganzhou, he will immediately go south to Guangzhou to replace Yue Le and join hands with you to lead the Guangdong army. I hope you can work together and be loyal to the country."

    "Le Belle is in the city of Ganzhou?" The old traitor Shang broke into a cold sweat, thinking that Le Belle must not have come alone, right?  In order to prevent the old thief Wu Sangui from entering Jiangxi, the master has deployed heavy troops in Jiangxi. If I refuse to accept the order, will Le Belle lead the Jiangxi army into Guangdong?

    Also frightened into a cold sweat was Shang Zhixin, the treasured son of the old traitor, Shang Zhixin. After seeing that Yue Le was only a little bit suspected of stealing Wu army's secrets and conspiracy, he immediately changed from a prince to a prisoner.  I can't help beating drums in my confidence - if it is about suspicion, whether it is swallowing firearms secrets or treason, my suspicions are much greater than Yue Le's. If Wu Jun also tried to alienate me that day, the old man would not put his own  Peel the skin and send it to the Emperor Mangou as a human skin lantern?

    Although he was thrown into a prison van and taken out of Guangdong in a daze, Yue Le still had a glimmer of hope, thinking that if this matter was really a trick of Lu Fatty, after Fatty Lu was taken into Wuchang City, all he had to do was look at the old traitor Wu.  No matter how you deal with Fatty Lu, your own grievances will naturally be cleared up¡ªafter all, the old traitor Wu wouldn't really kill such a capable lackey as Fatty Lu, right?  If the old traitor Wu hadn't killed this capable running dog, the truth about how Fatty Lu framed himself and caused chaos in the southeast would naturally come to light.

    Hope turns into hope, but on the way to the north, after finally hearing about the situation of Fatty Lu being taken to Wuchang City, Yue Le finally despaired, and burst into tears again, "Lu Yifeng, you thief, you are really driving me to death!"  ! This time, I really can¡¯t speak clearly with a hundred mouths, and I can¡¯t wash it out forever by jumping into the Yellow River!¡±

    Yue Le was in despair. After what happened after Fatty Lu was escorted back to Wuchang City spread to Guangzhou, the traitorous father and son of Old Shang and Le Erjin, who succeeded Yue Le in charge of the Guangdong army, were completely dizzy.  They were all trembling, suspicious of each other, and wary of each other as if they were facing a big enemy. Their morale and fighting spirit, which had been barely maintained, had completely collapsed.  With Geng Jingzhong as the main enemy, not to mention counterattacking Chaozhou and Zhangzhou to contain Geng Jingzhong, if Geng Jingzhong came to fight Guangdong regardless of division, all the Qing troops in Guangdong would have to shout Amitabha.

    The civil strife in Guangdong naturally made Fujian cheaper. After Geng Jingzhong got rid of the threat of the southern line, he was able to concentrate on going north. Unprepared Wenzhou, Chuzhou, Taizhou and other important towns in southern Zhejiang fell one after another.  Jinhua is urgent, Ningbo is urgent, Shaoxing is urgent, southern Zhejiang is urgent, and the whole of Zhejiang is urgent!  The red-eyed Kang Mazi had only one choice left, which was to mobilize troops from the only Huguang battlefield with sufficient troops and go down the river to extinguish Geng Jingzhong's rebellious fire!

 Chapter 233 The truth is revealed?

    ?

    (ps: The nearly 9,000-word chapter has been updated, and friends still don¡¯t give some New Year¡¯s monthly tickets and rewards?)

    Just like in history, Kang Mazi's 12 years were equally stressful and unprepared for Kang Mazi. It was in this year in history that the old man Wu, who was repeatedly bullied by Kang Mazi, rebelled and opened the long-term history.  Eight years of the San Francisco Rebellion.  However, in this era, under the influence of Fatty Lu, a fat demon moth's wings, Kang Mazi's 12 years was undoubtedly a year that was even more stressful and unprepared for Kang Mazi.

    The main force was lost, and the elites were basically lost. Geng Jingzhong directly rebelled. Although the old traitor Wu Sangui did not officially play the banner of rebellion, it was tantamount to rebellion. Burni also confirmed that he was about to rebel. Even the most loyal  Shang Kexi can't be relied on anymore, she can't count on it.  The thirteen provinces in the north and south are full of dangers, the provinces are not peaceful, the country is in chaos and crumbling, Kang Mazi is so anxious every day, he is restless every day, but he just can't come up with a good idea to put out this menacing rebellion  Momentum, let alone wiped out so many thieves and rebels who had been killed by heaven in one fell swoop.

    By the way, in the original history, Kang Mazi also encountered such a bad situation, but he was lucky to catch up with the old traitor Wu who died of a stroke, and there was no heir who could convince the public to control the situation.  Splitting up and fighting each other into a mess, this gave Kang Mazi a god-sent opportunity to defeat each of the Wu army's ministries.  But in this era, because of the wings of a certain fat monster moth, the traitor Wu raised his army two years in advance, and completely defeated the main force of the mite Qing four years in advance.  For Kang Mazi, can Kang Mazi still have such good luck?

    Even if Kang Mazi still has such luck, it doesn't matter. The old traitor Wu has someone to succeed him. Even if he really died of a stroke at the age of sixty-six, someone can inherit his legacy and lead the Yunnan-Guizhou army to continue the great cause of fighting against the Qing Dynasty.  ¡ª¡ªA fat man's language.

    The story is far away, let's get down to business, with Geng Jingzhong's initial victory in the Northern Expedition to Zhejiang and news of Burni's upcoming rebellion spread to the capital one after another, Kang Mazi, who was so anxious that his eyes were red, had no choice. If he didn't want to treat old traitor Wu again  To treat Geng Jingzhong, go to Geng Jingzhong to seek peace and negotiate land cession and indemnity, and there is only one way to go south to suppress the rebellion by mobilizing troops from the main battlefield of Huguang.  Because of this, Kang Mazi had no choice but to issue a death order to his first-class father-in-law Hesheli Gabula, who was ordered to go to Wu Jun as an envoy, asking him to find out Wu Jun's intentions and judge whether Wu Jun  Maybe cross the river to the north and take the opportunity to break through the defense line of the Yangtze River that Kang Mazi relied on to survive!

    By coincidence, six days after Kabula's imperial envoy arrived in Wuchang City, Fatty Lu, who was arrested for betraying the secrets of the Wu army to the Pingnan Palace, was also escorted to Wuchang City by the Wu army team sent by Wu Shizong.  On the day the prison cart entered the city, thousands of people flocked to both sides of the official road to see the fall of Fatty Lu, a famous celebrity in front of Prince Pingxi. Wherever the prison cart went, the soldiers and civilians in Wuchang roared to the sky, rotten eggs, rotten cabbages, bricks and tiles  Fatty Lu, the traitor who was begging for glory from the seller, fell like raindrops. Fatty Lu, who was covered with shackles and handcuffs, was weeping in his small eyes, cowering in the corner of the prison car, crying endlessly, and from time to time he shouted in despair and pain,  "Injustice! I am wronged¡ª¡ª!"

    "Kill him! Kill this traitor! Cut him! Cut this shameless traitor! Thief! Traitor!"

    I don't know if it was out of genuine anger, or just to please the new master of the traitor Wu, countless grumpy old and new Wu soldiers shouted slogans to kill Fatty Lu, and some people brandished weapons and rushed towards the prison car  However, if Wu Shizong hadn't sent enough people to escort him, Fatty Lu would definitely have been beaten to death on the spot by everyone, and his body would be divided to death.

    "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Wu Shizong's escort team could stop ordinary soldiers, but they couldn't stop Wu Yingqi, the youngest son of Wu's traitor.  Amidst the roaring roar, Wu Yingqi led a large group of Wu army generals with weapons, kicking and beating away the Wu army soldiers escorting Lu Fatty, and rushed to Lu Fatty's prison car with bloodshot eyes, shouting, "Dog thief!"  , do you still know Lao Tzu?"

    "Uncle, uncle." Fatty Lu opened his small eyes, seeing that his benefactor had arrived, he quickly crawled down in the prison car and knelt down, and said with tears in his eyes, "Nephew Lu Yifeng, please greet uncle."

    "I don't have you as a niece and son-in-law!" Wu Yingqi was also completely mad, and slashed on the prison car with a knife, yelling: "I was really blind back then, why did I promote you, a traitorous dog who crawls around? Why?  Still protecting you in front of the father, recommending you? Reusing you?"

    "Damn my nephew and son-in-law!" Fatty Lu wailed loudly, kowtowing repeatedly, not even daring to say a word to defend himself.

    "You fucking should have died a long time ago!" Wu Yingqi yelled again, swung his knife and slashed at the prison car's wooden cage, intending to break it open.The big man in the family line Yu Xuan.

    "Boldly call Yu Xuan, what crime do you deserve for trespassing on the court?" Hu Guozhu jumped out, pointing at Line Yu Xuan angrily and asked.

    "My lord, General Jinwu, the one who is guilty is not Lu Yifeng, but me!" Line Yuxuan wailed loudly, "I am the one who is jealous. I had already captured his wife, Shang Wanyi, but in order to make Shang Wan  Yan left Lu Yifeng, and let her go on purpose! That's why what happened later, Yifeng was forced to betray our Pingxi Palace! I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I am willing to die in place of Yi Feng, just beg your mercy  His life!"

    "What?" The old traitor Wu finally got really angry, and shouted: "You are so brave, since you have already intercepted Xiao Gege from Pingnan Palace, why did you let her go?"

    "Because, because I want Yifeng to divorce her and marry me!" Line Yuxuan was also anxious, and blurted out his true thoughts.

    "Marry you? A man marrying a man?" Countless people laughed wildly.  The old traitor Wu was also angry and funny, pointing at Yu Xuan and shouting: "Nonsense! You are a man, how can Lu Yifeng marry you?"

    "Yu Xuan, she's a girl!" Line Yu Xuan stood up, first tore off the helmet on his head, revealing his dark short hair, and then took off the armor on his body, revealing his exquisite figure in thin women's clothing,  In the end, he pulled off the fake beard on his lips, and cried out in a crying voice: "Please look, my lord, am I a woman? Actually, my name is Line Yuer, not Line Yuxuan."

    "Wow¡ª¡ª!" This time it was finally a sensation in the audience. Countless soldiers of the Wu army never dreamed that Line Yuxuan, who had trained them to death on the training ground, was just a woman!  Old traitor Wu, Hu Guozhu and the others were also speechless. They never thought that the line Yuxuan who had captured old traitor Shang alive for them on the battlefield was actually a woman!

    "Yu'er, are you crazy?" Fatty Lu finally screamed, "If you do this, your father is committing the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

    "I can't care about that much anymore!" Line Yu Xuan's eyes were also reddened, and he cried out in public: "My lord, Yu'er unfortunately died early, and my father was seriously ill. In order to prevent the Guangxi army from being restrained, Yu'er  So he persuaded his father to cut off his long hair, disguise himself as a man, and lead the Guangxi army for his father. Originally, Yu'er thought that as long as his father's condition improved, Yu'er could regain his daughter's body and return the army to his father.  I never thought that my father's condition did not improve, and the imperial court issued an order to confer Yu'er an official position. If Yu'er reveals the truth again, my father will be deceiving the emperor, and he should be punished. Yu'er has no choice but to continue playing the trick and continue to pretend  Yu Xuan, the three generals"

    Having said this, Line Yuer was sobbing, while Old Traitor Wu and the others were dumbfounded, almost unable to believe it was true.  After a long time, the old traitor Wu asked loudly, "Boldly call Yu'er, since your father and daughter committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, why did you plead guilty in public today?"

    "Because" Line Yu'er was desperate, pointed at Fatty Lu, blushed and said loudly: "Because Yu'er likes him, loves him, and wants to marry him, that's why Yu'er let him go on purpose."  Wife! Because Yuer loves him and likes him, Yuer doesn't want him to die, but wants to die for him!"

    After finishing speaking, Line Yu'er knelt down on his knees again, and shouted with tears in his eyes: "My lord, Yu'er begs you, Yu'er begs you, for the sake of Yu'er's little contribution, please spare Feng and his life.  He was harmed by Yu Er, it was Yu Er's fault, Yu Er was willing to die in his place! My lord, Yu Er please! Please¡ª¡ª!"

    Crying and begging bitterly, Line Yu'er kowtowed repeatedly until her white jade-like forehead bleeds.  Seeing this scene, not only the traitor Wu was moved, but also countless soldiers and civilians present could not help crying, feeling sympathy for Fatty Lu and Line Yuer.  After Hu Guozhu came back to his senses, he was very angry and funny, and quickly whispered in the ear of old traitor Wu: "Father-in-law, what a chance, pardoning Yifeng at this time, even if the gods come, they can't tell the truth.  Fake!"

    Now, my friends should understand why Yue Le screamed, Fatty Lu was trying to trick him to death, right?  (To be continued.

 Chapter 234

    ?

    Line Yu'er's heartfelt words finally moved the old traitor Wu, who was like a jackal, at the same time, Fang Guangchen, the few remaining veterans of the first generation of the Pingxi Palace, rushed to the horse, sacrificing his old face.  Pleading for Fatty Lu, asking the old traitor Wu to see Fatty Lu's various credits, spare the fat man who was begging for glory from the seller, and give him a chance to redeem his crimes and make up for the loss of Pingxi Palace's leak of firearms secrets.  At the same time, Fang Guangchen was also very understanding and begged for Lin Yuer's love by the way, hoping that the old traitor Wu would spare her life because of the fact that Ling Yuer is a rare filial daughter.

    Fang Guangchen's face, of course, the old traitor Wu has to give it¡ª¡ªin the Pingxi Palace, only Fang Guangchen, Liu Xuanchu and Wu Sanmei are left in the same generation as the old traitor Wu.  Fang Guangchen begged for mercy, Yan Yu'er's life experience was so pitiful, and his filial piety was so touching, no matter how vicious and ruthless the old traitor Wu was, he was ashamed to continue to insist on his own opinion.

    At the same time, Wu Yingjing, Zhang Zufa, Gao Dejie, and Wang Jing, who have always had a good relationship with Fatty Lu, also stepped forward to intercede for Fatty Lu. To Fatty Lu's surprise, he was not  Knowing the truth, Wu Yingqi hesitated again and again, and even stood up and said a few good words for Fatty Lu, hoping that his father would spare Fatty Lu for the sake of Fatty Lu's previous achievements.

    The two hundred and five sons have always said so, what else can old traitor Wu say?  So the old traitor Wu had no choice but to press Line Yu'er, asking if Line Yu'er was willing to commit the same crime as Fatty Lu, be dismissed from all official positions, be demoted to slavery, and go to Jiji Mountain to do lifelong hard labor together?

    I believe I don¡¯t need to go into details about how Yuer Yu answered. In short, Fatty Lu finally got a dog¡¯s life because of this. He was exempted from the death penalty and removed from all civil and military positions amidst the sighs of regret from the imperial envoy of the Qing Dynasty and the eyeliner.  Pretending to be a hard labor, Wang Ji Jishan will be a slave for life!  However, after the news spread, the most suspected Shang Lao traitor, Yue Le monk Zhixin, naturally vomited blood. They jumped into the Yellow River this time, and they couldn't clear up the suspicion of monopolizing the Wu army's secret weapons and rebellion.

    However, there are also priorities. For Kang Mazi, whether the old traitor Shang and Yue Le were wronged is not particularly important now. The most important thing is whether the Qing court can mobilize troops from the Huguang battlefield to go south.  However, what made Kabula, the old spy leader sent by Kang Mazi restless, was that the Wu army, who had been stable for a long time, after observing the situation for a period of time, unexpectedly recruited civilian ships and recruited sailors in a grand manner, and continued to send scout ships to explore the hydrology of the Yangtze River.  , Familiar with the waterway across the river - what is this plan for?  Taking advantage of the fire?  Added insult to injury?  Or do you intend to fish in troubled waters?

    Also frightened were most of the generals of the Qing army in Hanyang who were confronting the Wu army across the river in Wuchang. These generals of the Qing army who had been completely frightened by the Wu army also flocked to Tu Hai's tent one after another, asking Tu Hai to strengthen  Be alert and formulate countermeasures to prevent the Wu army from crossing the river to attack!  In addition, the work of preparing ships, armaments and gathering troops to go south to Fujian must also be stopped immediately!

    What surprised and puzzled these generals of the Qing army was that after hearing the news, Tu Hai, the commander of the entire army, was not only unafraid, but also beamed with joy, and walked with a limp while holding on to a cane much more briskly.  In addition, Zhou Peigong, Tuhai's confidant and aide, also clasped his palms together and recited Buddha's name, smiling happily, "Thank God, that old thief Wu Sangui is really short-sighted, my emperor is blessed, my emperor's blessings are as good as the heavens!"

    "Bold Zhou Chang, what nonsense are you talking about?" Prince Kang Jieshu, who happened to hear Zhou Peigong muttering, was furious, and scolded: "Wu Dog recruited sailors from civilian ships, and it was clear that he wanted to cross the river and attack by force. How dare you say it was me?"  The emperor's blessing is equal to the sky? What do you mean?"

    "Ah, my lord, did you hear that?" Zhou Peigong was startled, quickly knelt down on his knees, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't blame your lord, this servant is also happy, seeing through the short-sightedness of that old thief Wu Sangui, and also seeing through that old thief Wu Sangui never crossed the river."  The plan to attack by force is at the two ends of Geng Jingzhong's rebellion, so I am so excited that my emperor is so blessed."

    "What do you mean by that?" Jie Shu asked confusedly.

    "My lord, Pei Gong is right. If the old thief Wu Sangui doesn't do this, then it would be the most terrifying." Tu Hai took over the conversation and explained for his confidant lackey: "If the old thief Wu Sangui goes south to Hengzhou, or stays put, don't make any preparations.  That's the real horror. Because of the current situation, Geng Jingzhong's bandits rebelled, and the court urgently needs to mobilize Huguang troops to go south to Fujian to counter the rebellion.  Xu, then once our Huguang army divides up, the old thief Wu Sangui will definitely launch a thunderous blow immediately and forcefully attack across the river!"

    "But now, the old thief Wu Sangui not only did not do this, but recruited sailors from civilian ships, bluffingHaving a seizure, he shouted: "Come here, take down this impolite Zhou Peigong!"

    "Tie!" Cao Yin and Li Xu, who were guarding the door of the South Study Room, agreed together, and rushed in together to attack Zhou Peigong.  But at this moment, Kang Mazi suddenly shouted: "Stop! Let him go!"

    "Tie." Cao Yin and Li Xu agreed again and obediently let go.  Zhou Peigong was frightened into a cold sweat, kowtowed his head quickly, and put his forehead on the ground again, "I am rude, I am a capital punishment, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

    "Okay, I pardon you for your innocence." Kang Mazi waved his hand and ordered, "Zhou Peigong, raise your head."

    "Tie." Zhou Peigong respectfully agreed, and carefully raised his face, which was definitely a hundred times more handsome than Fatty Lu's.

    "Zhou Peigong, I ask you." Kang Mazi slowed down and asked, "You just said that I still have thirty thousand elite soldiers in the capital. I ask you, where did these thirty thousand elite soldiers come from?"

    "Return to the master, just ask the master to issue an imperial edict." Zhou Peigong kowtowed vigorously, gritted his teeth and replied: "In the capital, there are definitely more than 30,000 strong domestic slaves in the mansions of the kings of the capital, Baylor, Beizi, and the flag masters.  The number! If the master issues an imperial decree to recruit these house slaves, and appoint a noble general to lead them, with slaves as deputy, within three months, if the Burni rebellion cannot be put down, the slaves will beg to wipe out the nine clans!"

    Hearing Zhou Peigong's words, Kang Mazi's numb eyes inevitably brightened, and Suo'etu said angrily: "Bold! You dog slave, do you know what you are talking nonsense? Use the servants of the kings Baylor to quell the chaos  Thief, thank you for being able to tell!"

    "Back to Suo Zhongtang, domestic slaves are also soldiers, and they are also our Manchus!" Zhou Peigong replied loudly: "I think when Taizu Taizong of the Qing Dynasty used troops, which one of the soldiers under his command was not a domestic slave under his banner? Didn't he sweep Liuhe as usual and wipe out all directions?  , to unify the Central Plains? Although these domestic slaves are pampered and respected in the capital, and they seldom learn to fight, their blood is still full of people and their blood is still there. As long as their bloody courage is aroused, why worry about the clown in Burnie? Elder Wu Sangui  Slavery for chaos?"

    "Nonsense" Suo'etu wanted to refute, but Kang Mazi yelled, "Shut up, let me think carefully!"

    Suo'etu had no choice but to shut up, Mingzhu, Zhang Ying and the others did not dare to make a sound, they all watched Kang Mazi tap the table with his fingers, nervously calculating.  Knowing that life and death are a matter of honor and disgrace, Zhou Peigong plucked up his courage and said: "Master, it may be a way to transfer troops from Shaanxi and Gansu.  In the northwest, there is Ge Erdan's ignorance of the tigers in Ningxia, Gansu. If there are no heavy troops stationed, I am afraid that turmoil will arise and chaos will arise in the northwest. It is better to use a new army.  !"

    Kang Mazi stopped tapping his fingers suddenly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "I can issue this imperial decree, but I don't have military pay for you, what should you do?"

    "Slaves don't want military pay!" Zhou Peigong puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Slaves don't want the master's military pay of one tael of silver, and they can still put down the rebellion in the grassland!"

    Kang Mazi stared at Zhou Peigong with numb eyes. Zhou Peigong mustered up his courage and met Kang Mazi's eyes without blinking his eyelids.  After a long time, Kang Mazi said in a hoarse voice: "Pingshen, tell me, what are you going to do to put down the riots in Burni?" (To be continued.

 Chapter 235: Chaos in the Capital

    ?

    It may be because of a keen eye to recognize talents, or it may be due to a sudden illness, or it may be a predestined relationship, or it is more likely that a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor. In short, after a long talk with Zhou Peigong, Kang Mazi finally changed.  I had a bad impression of Zhou Peigong before, and I also made a shocking and crazy move. I ordered to recruit the banner slaves in Beijing.  Master Mite Qing Banner, the domestic slaves in the family's mansion and den, according to the roster of the clan's mansion, all report and register at the infantry commander's yamen within three days, and they will be reorganized into the army!

    In addition, in order to effectively control these coated masters who are accustomed to domineering and domineering, Kang Mazi also appointed his own cousin Tong Guogang as the general of Anbei, and gave Shang Fang a sword, allowing him to cut first and then play!  He also granted Zhou Peigong the title of counselor of the fourth grade, served as Tong Guogang's deputy, assisted Tong Guogang in leading the army, advised Tong Guogang, and gave him the right to make secret memorials and direct performances. At critical moments, he could bypass the court's various yamen and directly deliver the memorials to Kang Mazi.  !  ¡ª¡ªFrom this point of view, Kang Mazi and Zhou Peigong are indeed destined to break out.

    It was also said that what Zhou Peigong said was true. The beastly blood coated with mite Qing continued no matter what era it was. Kang Mazi's decree was issued less than half a day ago, and more than two thousand coated flag slaves came to the infantry  The yamen registers and compiles books, receives weapons and accepts reorganization, and becomes the first batch of soldiers of the Packed Army who are about to make the rebellious Mongolian army fearful!

    Seeing this scene, Tong Guogang, who had been going up and down before going into battle, was determined, and began to believe in Zhou Peigong's prophecy-the mite-clearing flag slaves were still bloody, and when the emperor ascended to the heights, these wrapped flag slaves must be all  Take the lead and strive to be effective.  But what Tong Guogang and Kang Mazi didn't expect, and what Zhou Peigong himself didn't expect was that the opportunity to show his skills would come so quickly!

    The person who gave Zhou Peigong a chance was Yang Qilong. Yang Qilong, who was a subordinate of the Pingxi Palace in reputation, had great ambitions. In fact, he was not under the old traitor Wu and Fatty Lu. After the tragic death of Wu Yingxiong who directly controlled them, the Pingxi Palace had already been unable to effectively control Yang Qilong¡¯s team.  Later, Yang Qilong took advantage of the old traitor Wu's dependence on him for intelligence, and the incomparable achievements Kong Sizhenbai gave him, and obtained a large amount of operational funds and a large number of weapons and firearms from the old traitor Wu, and the team was able to expand rapidly.  The power also expanded rapidly, and the ambition buried in his chest naturally expanded wildly.

    As I said before, in order to ensure the safety of Zhejiang¡¯s financial and tax-heavy areas, Kang Mazi has sent the last reserve team in the Gyeonggi area to Zhejiang.  After a god-given opportunity, Yang Qilong naturally brewed the famous Drum Tower Incident in history.

    Thanks to the blessing of Kong Sizhen, Huang Ji, who caused the failure of the Drum Tower Incident in history, has moved ahead of time to Zhou Quanyou's house. Naturally, Zhou Quanyou, who betrayed the Drum Tower Incident in history, has no chance.  On July 26th of the second year, under the name of raising fire, they suddenly launched an uprising, assassinated a large number of civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty, entered the emptied Forbidden City, and cut Kang Mazi's family to pieces, skinned and cramped!  Then Yang Qilong ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and made a boundary with the traitor Wu old man.

    Coincidentally, there is no book, and by accident, Zhou Peigong came to the capital when it was only five days before the uprising was launched, and proposed to Kang Mazi a plan to recruit all the banner slaves in the city to serve as an army. Kang Mazi immediately approved and issued an order on the same day  implement.  As a result, Yang Qilong was immediately dumbfounded. His team was originally dominated by banner slaves who refused to submit to the brutal rule of Mi Qing. These people were recruited into the army to fight against Chahar, so why would he start an uprising?

    It is obviously impossible to start the uprising according to the original plan. If the uprising is launched five days later according to the original plan, even if the banner slaves who participated in the uprising have not been transferred out of the capital by then, there will be a group of 30,000 people in the capital  The newly formed army brought countless troubles and variables to the uprising.  In desperation, Yang Qilong had no choice but to change his plan and decided to launch an uprising late at night on July 21st to attack the Forbidden City, but Kang Mazi had no chance to prepare.

    After some hasty and unprepared contacts, at three o'clock in the night on July 21, the twelfth year of Kang Mazi, Yang Qilong's uprising officially broke out. The backbone of the rebel army, which numbered nearly 300 people, was in the Drum Tower area of ??the inner city of the Qing capital.  Assemble, make an alliance with blood, launch an uprising, and kill the Forbidden City along the prepared route.  Take out the hidden weapons and fight towards the Drum Tower, joining Yang Qilong's main force.

    When the uprising first broke out, it went very smoothly, because fires broke out everywhere in the inner city, and the poor infantry commanding the yamen stationed in the inner city lost sight of one another, completely messing up a group of headless flies, and there were more than 800 soldiers in the planned thousands of rebels  People gathered under Yang Qilong's banner, andDesheng and other leaders of the rebel army were able to escape the search and escape from the capital in disguise. However, nearly 300 rebel army leaders including Jiao San, Zhu Shangxian, Li Zhu, Zhang Da, Chen Jizhi and Shi Guozhu were all wiped out, not killed on the spot.  , that is to be executed after being captured alive.  The well-known Yang Qilong uprising, just like in history, suffered a complete failure.

    Failure is failure, but Yang Qilong's uprising dealt a heavy blow to the Qing rulers, far surpassing that uprising in history.  In one night, at least three thousand parasites died tragically in the chaos, and more than a thousand houses were damaged, including the luxurious mansions of the rich and powerful.  In a fit of rage, the admiral of the Nine Gates, Fei Yanggu, who was in charge of the defense of the Nine Gates, was pushed out of the Meridian Gate by Kang Mazi and beheaded. Fortunately, Zhou Peigong spoke up and told Fei Yanggu that the combat effectiveness of the infant soldiers of the Nine Gates Army was too low, which led to the suppression  Ineffective, Kang Mazi also spared Fei Yanggu's life, removed the position of admiral from the Nine Sects, and sent him to serve in Tong Guogang's army-this is also the point that Fatty Lu was extremely depressed after knowing about it.  Among the generals, he can definitely be regarded as a tough character.

    In addition, Kang Mazi also had to order to strengthen the defense of the capital, squeeze some money and food from the already stretched national treasury, and recruit bannermen to supplement the Nine Sects' army.  Reduced input from other battlefields.  However, when the news reached Wuchang, the old traitor Wu was not happy and turned angry. He took the case and yelled: "Yang Qilong, idiot! If I knew you had such courage, I should have told this king! I will send you some more firearms."  Go, send you another general with rich experience in street fighting, will it be a failure?"

    The news continued to spread, and when it reached Jiqi Mountain, Wu Jun's new firearms camp, Fatty Lu, who was leading the craftsmen in gas bomb research and alcohol purification research, dropped the tools in his hands, and with a sullen and fat face, he walked around the construction site ten times with his hands behind his back.  After a few circles, he suddenly slapped himself and cursed: "Idiot! You didn't know that Zhou Chang was Zhou Peigong! This time, I'm in trouble. This traitorous traitor has come out, and the future battles will be even more difficult!"

    Note: A friend pointed out before that Yang Qilong had nothing to do with the old traitor Wu, and Yang Qilong¡¯s uprising had nothing to do with the old traitor Wu. Although Mite Qing burned most of the materials, the pure wolf finally found it in the "On the History of the Qing Dynasty"  answered with evidence.  The book cites a number of little-known historical materials, pointing out two pieces of evidence that Yang Qilong's uprising was related to the old traitor Wu.

    One is time: Historically, Yang Qilong¡¯s uprising was originally scheduled for New Year¡¯s Eve in the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi, but on December 21, the twelfth year of Kang Mazi, the old man Wu¡¯s secret envoy came to Beijing, and Yang Qilong moved forward the time of launching the uprising to December  Twenty-three days.

    The second is the signal color of the rebel army: as we all know, Yang Qilong revolted in the name of the third prince Zhu.  But after Wu Jun's secret envoy entered Beijing, Yang Qilong suddenly changed his name to wrapping his head in white cloth, echoing Wu Jun's advocacy of white.  It can be inferred from this that the old traitor Wu not only probably participated in Yang Qilong's uprising temporarily, but also had contact with Yang Qilong beforehand.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 236

    ?

    On July 28th, the twelfth year of Kang Mazi, the news of Burni's rebellion was finally confirmed. Burni detained his father Abnai under the pretext of Kang Mazi, together with Luo Buzang, A Zali Lama, and others on the Chahar Grassland.  The monk Erhunjin Lama, Khalkha Gongzhui Zhabu and other tribes, together with Chahar Banner Dutong Jinjin and Deputy Dutong Budali, jointly raised troops against the Qing Dynasty and gathered more than 3,500 rebels (  The numbers are correct, don¡¯t think that our pockmarked emperor and Zhou Baoyi are really good), on the surface they threatened to attack Shengjing to rescue his father Abnai, but in fact they rushed southward and went straight to Zhangjiakou, the first throat connecting the grassland to the Central Plains.  .

    In fact, what makes Burnie vomit blood is that his little tricks are so simple that they are so simple, not to mention his nemesis Zhou Peigong, even our Kang Mazi can see it at a glance-you he  Who is the mother fooled by?  Attack Shengjing to save your father Abnai?  If you really have this kind of filial piety, then why would you rebel?  You like to go to Shengjing, a ghostly place where the birds don't shit. Anyway, this Central Plains is full of flowers.

    Therefore, we are wise and martial, handsome, Yue Lishenghong, actuarial arithmetic, calligraphy and painting, astronomy, foreign languages, politics, dredging rivers, literary and martial arts, straight to Jin Hui Yuanshun, and expanding territory far surpassing Qin Hui.  Tang and Quan Guangzi are all bragging about their abilities, as Emperor Kangxi, Chief Kang!  I can't catch my breath, so take a breath first.  In short, our Chief Mazi had no choice but to gamble with his teeth, and decided to send the newly formed 30,000-packed army, with his cousin Tong Guogang as the commander, and Zhou Peigong and Fei Yanggu as his deputy, to go north to Zhangjiakou to put down the Burni rebellion  !

    In addition, just in case, with tears in his eyes, Kang Mazi transferred 3,000 Eight Banners cavalry stationed in Rehe, and handed them over to Tong Guogang to lead them as elite soldiers¡ªwith tears in his eyes, during the heyday  Of the 30,000-plus Rehe garrison, there are now only 8,000 left, and if the 3,000 are taken away, the defense of the north of the Qing capital will be in jeopardy.  At the same time, in order to increase the odds of winning and prevent accidents, Kang Mazi also ordered Horqin, Ongniud, Aohan, Bahrain, Tumed, Zalut, and Karaqin and other Mongolian tribes to send troops to join forces with the Baoyi Army.  Conquer Burni.

    Maybe it was Jitai. Ten days later, the Mongolian tribes such as Karaqin and Ongniud, which were closest to the capital, sent back messages one after another, saying that they obeyed Kang Mazi's dispatch and raised troops to conquer Chahar and attack the flank of Burni;  There was also bad news that Burni's army captured the Western Hubei Horse Factory just north of Zhangjiakou, killed the officials of the horse factory and snatched all the horses.  Hearing the news, Kang Mazi was both happy and worried, and hurriedly ordered Tong Guogang's army to go out, carrying more than 50 newly cast Hongyi cannons and sub-parent cannons, and a hundred pieces of water, and marched towards Zhangjiakou in a mighty manner.

    The Packed Army finally set off, and the next step is to wait patiently for news of their victory or the annihilation of the entire army. However, during this period, there was another bad news from the south.  Mahada, the deputy capital of the Yellow Banner, suffered a big defeat in Taizhou Bay, lost nearly 5,000 troops in one breath, and was forced to abandon Ninghai and Xiangshan and retreat to Fenghua, Ningbo. Geng Jingzhong's army took advantage of the momentum and went north.  The two governments were in a hurry at the same time.

    Mahada's defeat was really unfair. Because of the lack of troops and being caught off guard, Altai, the general soldier of Huangyan of the Qing army who was forced to surrender to Geng's army, was determined to get in touch with Mahada anyway.  Zeng Yangxing, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Army who beheaded the Geng Army, never thought that the secret envoy sent by Altai would be accidentally intercepted by Geng Army scouts on the road, and the secret letter to Mahada was also searched.

    After receiving the secret letter, Zeng Yangxing, who has always been grumpy, had an unprecedented brainstorm. After hanging Altai, he imitated Altai's handwriting and wrote three blood letters to Mahada pretending to donate Taizhou City, instigating Mahada's soldiers to split into two groups.  , all the way to storm Taizhou City, all the way to land at Haimen, east of Huangyan from the sea, join forces with the Altai army, pretend to rescue Taizhou and open the city gate of Taizhou, and attack Taizhou back and forth with the land army.

    Although Mahada has always been known for his cunning, but because Altai's son is currently serving under Mahada's command, Mahada, who has always been wise and brave, has no doubts about fraud.  There were two roads to take Taizhou, but both the land and water roads left the ambush of the reckless man Zeng Yangxing. Under the heavy blow of the new firearms used by the Geng army, the two roads suffered a disastrous defeat at the same time, and Ninghai City was also disguised as the defeated Qing army.  Geng Jun's sneak attack was successful and he had to retreat to Fenghua.  (Zeng Yangxing's plan is not fictional, it is contained in "Ninghai General's Achievements Record")

    The wise general fell into the trick of the reckless man, even the strong winds and waves broke through, and even capsized in the small river ditch?  Such unlucky things all fell on him, Kang Mazi, besides complaining about others, inevitably began to yell - now that the situation in Zhejiang has reached such a critical point, you Mahada made such a low-level mistake for me, are you accepting it?  Geng JingzhongThe son lowered his voice, and said darkly: "First, you immediately write a letter to the prince for me, and ask the prince to send an order to guard the guards at the gate of Xingyuan.  The courier is not allowed to seek an audience, and it is not allowed to report and deliver letters."

    "Second, as a prisoner who has committed crimes and performed meritorious service, I naturally have to desperately try to find a way to make meritorious deeds and atone for my crimes in exchange for freedom, so you write a blood letter in my tone, suggesting that the prince contact Geng Jingzhong according to my previous plan, and start the wheel with Mangou  The war will gradually consume the strength of the dog and eat away at the land in the south of the Yangtze River."

    "Thirdly, as a person who was punished for lifelong hard labor, I naturally couldn't leave Jiji Mountain, so I had to ask Shaobo to send the blood book to Wuchang, and Shaobo, you were arrested by the prince at the gate of Xingyuan on the first day.  After the guard refused, you went to guard the gate of Xingyuan the next day without giving up, and finally caught up with the prince who happened to go out. You stopped the horse and cried in front of the prince's horse. Naturally, my blood book was finally delivered to the prince. As for  On the first night, what should happen¡ªShao ??Bo, with your wisdom, I believe I don¡¯t need to teach you, right?¡±

    "Tall, really tall!" Wang Shaobo and Zhu Fangdan gave thumbs up together and flattered each other.  Zhu Fangdan also volunteered and said: "Boss, it's not too late. The student will find a chicken right away. Let's write blood books and eat dry pot ** at the same time."

    "I'm sorry, let's go." Fatty Lu replied proudly.

    Zhu Fangdan agreed, and left in a hurry, but when Wang Shaobo sat down at the desk to write a letter to Old Traitor Wu, he hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but said: "Boss, does the student think it's too risky to do this? This  There are two risks in the strategy. One is that it may be seen through by Man Gou, and the other is that the plan is successful but self-defeating. The Emperor Man Dog chose to temporarily stabilize Geng Jingzhong to deal with us. No matter which part of the link goes wrong, it may lead to  All previous efforts have been wasted."

    "Any strategy has risks, not to mention that this is a risky strategy." Fatty Lu replied.

    "Then shouldn't we think about the countermeasures after failure in advance?" Wang Shaobo suggested again: "If you don't think about victory, you should think about defeat first.  How to prepare in one step, the boss should prepare first?"

    "No need to prepare." Fatty Lu replied smoothly: "The prince is ready."

    "My lord is ready?" Shaobo Wang was startled, and asked doubtfully, "Then why has the master never mentioned it to the students?"

    Fatty Lu hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice after a long while: "Because the prince has never mentioned it to me, if I told you, I would have discovered the backhand that the prince secretly arranged, in case you accidentally missed it that day.  mouth, and accidentally passed it into the ears of the prince, wouldn't that immediately bring about a catastrophe?"

    "The lord is still secretly arranging a backhand?" Wang Shaobo was even more surprised, and asked in a low voice: "Boss, can you give the students some advice?"

    "Of the four firearms camps in Yunnan, only two firearms camps, Erhai Lake and Nule Mountain, have been moved to Pianyuan and merged into the current Jiqi Mountain Firearms Camp." Fatty Lu also lowered his voice, and said darkly: "The remaining Chuxiong  The two firearms camps, Xinxing and Xinxing, have not stopped production. Where did the firearms produced by these two firearms camps go? Except for a small part that was sold to Geng Jingzhong, Wu Shizong, a partial division in Guangxi, consumed so many firearms  Where did the rest of the firearms go?"

    "Where did the rest of the firearms go?" Wang Shaobo made some calculations, and quickly replied: "Thank you for your advice, the student understands. After all, it is the master who is as careful as a hair, and can discover the prince's secret arrangements from this aspect."

    "It's good if you understand." Fatty Lu nodded, and then warned: "Young Uncle, since it was arranged secretly, it's best to keep it in your heart, otherwise, not only may the prince's important affairs be ruined, but you will definitely be killed."  .¡±

    Wang Shaobo quickly nodded and closed his mouth.  Fatty Lu snorted in his heart: "Old traitor Wu, I've shown myself to be so loyal, you didn't say a word about Wang Fuchen from the beginning to the end, it seems that you still don't feel at ease with me.  But it doesn't matter, if you do the first grade of junior high school, I will naturally be able to do the fifteenth grade, and when I have the opportunity to be independent in the future, I will not be polite to you."

 Chapter 237 Asako's Choice

    ?

    (ps: God damn confused quack doctor, the pure wolf family was almost scared to death by her, and the book was broken for a day, she deserves death!)

    Although Wang Shaobo's crow's mouth is less accurate than Fatty Lu, it is not very bad. When Fatty Lu reported his plan to force Kang Mazi to choose who to fight to the death with Old Traitor Wu, not only the traitor Wu who was always indecisive hesitated  Even Hu Guozhu, who has always trusted Fatty Lu and obeyed his words, frowned and dared not express his support immediately.  As for Wang Shirong, who had disliked Fatty Lu from the very beginning, he strongly opposed it even more firmly.

    "My lord, Mr. Maoya's idea is superfluous at best, and farting with his ass off at worst. It's unnecessary!" Even in front of the traitorous old Wu, Wang Shirong spoke unceremoniously, "Now the Emperor Mangou let me  Kabula started secret negotiations with us, which is enough to prove that Emperor Mangou has fallen into the trick and is already tempted. He is ready to transfer troops from the Huguang battlefield to Fujian to suppress the rebellion. We just need to wait patiently and continue to fight with Karma  If the negotiations are held in secret, then once the negotiations are concluded, Emperor Mangou will naturally mobilize troops from the Huguang battlefield, and we will naturally have the opportunity to seize the opportunity to attack and cross the river."

    "Since this is the case, why do we need to make extra troubles, and use this countermeasure to deceive Man Gou? If Man Gou finds out, then our plan to cross the river will be exposed immediately, and the Emperor Man Gou will definitely not come from Huguang.  Take a step back and say that even if Lu Yifeng's plan is not discovered and Man Gou believes it to be true, then Emperor Man Gou will face two choices, one is to fight us to the end first, and the other is to fight Geng Jingzhong to the end first  , if Emperor Mangou chose us, wouldn't we be completely self-defeating?"

    Although Wang Shirong's attitude and tone were very fierce, the old traitor Wu and Hu Guozhu didn't fluctuate in their emotions. They just frowned and calculated together. It was not until a long time later that Hu Guozhu bowed his hands and said: "Father-in-law, Mr. Liangchen is right. Now we  The strategic deception plan has reached the final juncture, and the chances of success are very high, so there is no need to make such a risky plan and force the emperor to make a positive or negative choice."

    "Really? I just said that taking risks at this time is superfluous." Seeing that Hu Guozhu seldom stood by him when he and Fatty Lu had the opposite opinion, Wang Shirong couldn't help showing some happy smiles¡ªI never thought that Hu Guozhu would pause,  He added: "But"

    "But what?" Old Man Wu perked up and urged: "Speak in one breath, I will listen to you."

    "But if you don't do this, my son-in-law is really not sure when he will achieve the strategic goal of inducing Emperor Mangou to mobilize troops from the Huguang battlefield to go south." Hu Guozhu said helplessly: "Now the rebel forces in Chaharpurni have already  It is confirmed that there are only more than 3,500 people in the area, and all the kings of Mongolia refused to follow Burni to raise troops, but rushed to help Mangou suppress the rebellion. I believe that within three months, Burni will be destroyed."

    "At that time, the morale of the whole dog court will be greatly boosted. The emperor of Mangou will not only get a new army that has experienced the test of war, but also take the opportunity to recruit a large number of Mongolian cavalry, which will greatly alleviate the plight of insufficient troops.  It is even more difficult to induce Mangou to draw troops from the most critical Huguang battlefield."

    "So, my son-in-law now feels that Mr. Liangchen's words are reasonable, and also thinks that Yifeng's adventure plan has risky value. It is really difficult, so I can only ask my father-in-law to make a decision."

    "Guozhu, what you said is nothing if you say it." The old man Wu complained to his son-in-law, then pinched his brows and said: "If this king is not also very embarrassed, how can I ask you to express your opinions?"

    After heaving a long sigh, the old traitor Wu asked again: "Guozhu, you and Gabra have a secret negotiation, how is it going?"

    "Back to father-in-law, my son-in-law and him have made some concessions." Hu Guozhu replied truthfully: "Except for the fact that there is no dispute about allowing father-in-law to proclaim himself emperor, at present my son-in-law and Kabula are entangled in the old coins and land, my son-in-law  The final asking price was three million taels of military pay per year, plus Nanchang and Jiujiang, and only 10,000 troops stationed in each prefecture in the bordering areas. Kabula insisted on only giving military salaries of 500,000 taels a year, land  Not a single point will be given, and the state capitals in the bordering area should have no more than 10,000 troops on both sides."

    "Actually, this condition can be agreed to, anyway, I don't intend to take this new peace agreement seriously." Old man Wu smiled treacherously, "If you just agree so readily, Kangxi Mazi will definitely become more suspicious, and will not be deceived  No way. Let¡¯s adopt Yifeng¡¯s plan and force Kangxi Mazi to bet heads or tails.¡±

    "Father-in-law, have you made up your mind?" Hu Guozhu was a little surprised, saying that he never thought that the traitorous father-in-law, who has always been indecisive, would make such an important decision so quickly?The garrison has been reduced to one-third of the full dog, and it will be difficult to launch a battle across the river.  "Hu Guozhu reminded in embarrassment.

    "Stupid!" Old Man Wu grinned wickedly, "Gu withdrew his army to Changsha, and Mangou moved his army to Jiangnan. Which one is farther away, which one is closer? Is it easier for the lonely army to go north to Wuchang, or is the main force of Mangou withdrawing from Jiangnan to Huguang?"  Easy? Don¡¯t forget, it¡¯s easy for a warship to go down the river, but it¡¯s extremely difficult to go up the river.¡±

    "Oh!" Hu Guozhu slapped his head fiercely, and said in shame, "My son-in-law is confused, how could he forget the distance and the smooth flow?"

    "Although the prince is reasonable, it is impossible for Mangou to transfer all the troops to Fujian." Wang Shirong said worriedly: "Our naval division was first established, with few ships and inexperienced sailors. It is difficult to be Mangou on the water.  Navy opponents, even if we go northward so quickly, walking seven or eight hundred miles from Changsha to Wuchang, the mite dog army north of the Yangtze River still has plenty of time to react and prepare."

    "As for these problems, leave Yifeng with a headache." Old Man Wu smiled treacherously, "I believe that with his ability, there must be a way to solve these problems. Besides, as long as the main force of Mangou goes south to Fujian, even if we can't sneak attack  , A frontal attack is also much more certain than now!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 238 Permanent Nonaggression Treaty

    ?

    Eza, Tuhai, and Zhou Peigong during the San Francisco Rebellion in history led 30,000 slaves, 3,000 capital elites, plus Horqin, Ongniud, Aohan, Bahrain, Tumed, Zalut, and Karaqin, etc.  It took more than a month to rape the tribe's iron cavalry. Although it is true that Burni and his younger brother Rob Zangzhi have great talents and lack of talent, but the mite Qing army and miqing coating are brave and good at fighting, as well as the mite Qing Eight Banners.  The surviving animal nature did indeed account for a large factor.  Of course, there is also the blindness and insensitivity of the treacherous army-the brothers Burni and Luo Buzang in history were shot dead by Taiji Shajin, the treacherous Horqin department, into the camp.

    Moreover, in history, most of the two months of counter-insurgency time was actually wasted on marching. The real fierce battle only took two days.  Eza, the grandson of the first butcher Doduo, led a team, Tuhai, Hong Shilu and Wu Dan led the other three teams to attack the front of the Burni brothers' army one after another. As a result, it only took three waves of charges to completely defeat them.  He overthrew the rebellion of the Burni brothers, forcing the Burni brothers to flee with only more than 30 riders, and finally died tragically in the hands of Sha Jin, brother-in-law of Burni's younger brother Robzang.

    History belongs to history, and this year belongs to this year. What no one, including Fatty Lu himself, has ever imagined is that in the Battle of Dalu thousands of miles away in this era¡ªthe ghost of Fatty Lu appeared again  film.

    What happened is like this, just like in history, in order to boost morale and high fighting spirit, on the way to the expedition, Qing army generals such as Tong Guogang and Zhou Peigong acquiesced or even secretly encouraged them to indulge the soldiers of the Packed Army to loot the Han people in the villages along the way and burn them to death.  Robbery, rape and looting, all kinds of crimes, and rumors that Chahar has hundreds of years of foundation, hoarding gold, silver and jewels are innumerable, and the gold stock alone exceeds 10 million taels. If Chahar can be captured,  Half of these gold jewels belong to the encased soldiers!  As a result, the eyes of the Baoyi army were shining green, screaming with excitement, and their morale and fighting spirit rose.

    Still the same as in history, Mite Qing's elite scouts also first discovered the Burni brothers' ambush in the valley, Tong Guogang, the ancestor of the handsome guy who erected a monument to the devils, also decided to take advantage of the weakness of the Burni brothers' weak force under Zhou Peigong's suggestion  , Putting the two wings in ambush, adopting the tactics of frontal breakthrough, smashing the ridiculously fragile center flag formation of the Burni brothers head-on, thus defeating the fragile psychology of the Burni brothers in one fell swoop.

    However, after the operation started, Tong Guogang and Zhou Peigong discovered by surprise that the elite cavalry stationed in Rehe, which they relied on as the backbone, had not been dispatched according to the order. There was no other reason.  Big smoke!  ¡ª¡ªBecause the attack time coincided with the time when these Eight Banners masters had a good time collectively, the execution of the order was inevitably delayed.

    When Tong Guogang, Fei Yanggu, and Zhou Peigong, who were vomiting blood with anger, finally invited these Eight Banners masters to the battlefield, they missed the fleeting opportunity because the Qing army stopped at the gate of the ambush circle for a long time to gather and adjust.  No matter how stupid the brother is, he still understands that the Qing army has seen through his brother's ambush. In order to prevent the Qing army from taking advantage of his tricks, he hastily gathered the ambush soldiers on both wings.  When the Qing army charged again, although the Burni brothers were not yet opponents, they were not as helpless as in history. After blocking the Qing army's two charges in succession, the Burni brothers resolutely gave up fighting against the Mongolian cavalry.  The terrain of the valley is changed to flow to the grassland.

    The Burni brothers escaped by luck, but Tong Guogang and Zhou Peigong vomited blood. When they hurriedly mobilized the army to pursue them, the grassland was vast, and when would it be the end?  But if they can't catch and kill the Burni brothers, this rebellion will naturally not be quelled, and they can only pursue it into the depths of the boundless grassland under the leadership of the Burni brothers, and then pursue

    When the news reached the capital, Kang Mazi naturally vomited blood¡ªKang Mazi really wanted to get rid of the hidden danger behind the Burni brothers, and he really wanted to free up the reserve army as soon as possible to deal with Geng Jingzhong or resist the traitor Wu.  However, the Baoyi Army, which was placed with high hopes by the Qing court, missed the best opportunity for a battle. Now that the Burni brothers have run away, it is impossible to ignore it. How long will this battle last? Kang Mazi really  There is no end to what to say.

    Misfortunes come with blessings, and when Kang Mazi was restless, on September 20, an unexpected piece of good news reached the capital¡ªGeng Jingzhong forced the imprisoned Governor of Fujian, Fan Chengmo, to write a letter to persuade Kang Mazi to treat Geng Mazi well.  Jingzhong adopts a policy of appeasement.  At the same time, there was Geng Jingzhong's autographed memorabilia, which not only shamelessly defended his act of rebellion¡ªmainly by blaming Monk Yue Le, an old traitor, and insisted that it was Monk Yue Le, an old traitor  Push yourself back¡ªbut to be honest, that's mostly the case.

    ?In addition, Geng Jingzhong also set out the conditions for an armistice and surrender, imitating theReinforcement from the north, but within this month, the Qing army's Yangtze River defense line will be in a very fragile and dangerous state. If the old traitor Wu cheats and breaks the contract, even if it is a frontal attack, it is quite sure.

    "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." After a long sigh, Tu Hai turned to his deputy Cai Yurong helplessly and asked, "In the south of Wuchang, is there anything unusual in the past few days?"

    "Back to Commander, I didn't find anything unusual." Cai Yurong replied respectfully: "The old thief Wu Sangui sent more than 1,000 troops to escort our prisoner-of-war team northward from Yuezhou official road, and did not mobilize any troops.  I almost searched the Tongshan, Chongyang and Xingguo areas in the south of Wuchang, but I didn¡¯t find half a Wu dog ambush. It seems that the old thief Wu Sangui intends to honor the peace treaty in order to become the emperor.¡±

    "I hope so." Tuhai sighed again, pulled himself together, and said solemnly: "Cai Butang, according to the plan, after Lord Kang leads the army to the south, I will move to Luoshan with Zabeile, Hanyang City and  Hankou will be counting on you. Although the old thief Wu Sangui is cheating, tearing up the peace agreement and suddenly attacking the Yangtze River defense line, it is impossible to escape the eyes of our Luoshan garrison, but in order to prevent any accidents, you still have to be cautious in Hanyang  , be careful, even if you are asleep, you have to open one eye for me!"

    "Marshal, please don't worry, if there is something wrong with Hanyang, you don't need to do anything, the next official will bring up his head to plead guilty to him!" Cai Yurong replied confidently.

    "If there is a loss in Hanyang, one head of yours is definitely not enough! There are also nine clans of yours, none of whom can escape!" Tu Hai reminded sharply, and then urged: "By the way, and when it is time to exchange prisoners, our  Warships must not cross the river. We must prevent Wu Gou from taking the opportunity to snatch the boat to cross the river! You can contact Wu Yingqi, who is staying behind in Wuchang, and find any excuse.  On the return trip, he transported food, grass and military pay across the river! But when his civilian boats cross the river, the navy must closely monitor the river, and heavy troops must be deployed on the pier to guard against it!"

    "Don't worry, Marshal, I'll take care of my humble job." Cai Yurong replied with a smile: "Wu Yingqi's idiot is notoriously greedy for money and good wine. If you give him any favors, he will agree to it." (To be continued.

 Chapter 239 Fatty's Poisonous Scheme

    ?

    Let us turn back the time a little bit, and go back to the night when the old traitor Wu personally reached the details of the peace agreement with Kabula.  After sending off the dejected Kabula in person, the old traitor Wu who had been fighting with each other for a long time was very exhausted, but his spirit was still very vigorous, and he stepped back to the previous secret negotiation venue, and was supposed to be the old Wu.  Fatty Lu, who was punished by the traitor to go to Mount Jiji to do lifelong hard labor, unexpectedly got out of that corner, joined forces with Fang Guangchen who also appeared here mysteriously, and was burying himself in the peace treaty signed by the old traitor Wu and Kabula  Study and ponder, looking for loopholes.

    "Greetings to the lord." Seeing that the old traitor Wu led Hu Guozhu and Wang Shirong back, Fatty Lu and Fang Guangchen hurriedly stood up and saluted, and Fang Guangchen said with concern: "My lord, it's the second watch, why don't you go back to your room to rest? Please take care of yourself,  If there is anything, we can discuss it tomorrow."

    "No, no, no." The old man Wu waved his hands again and again, and laughed loudly: "The old man is in such a happy mood, how can he be able to sleep? Kangxi Mazi, that little bastard, has finally followed the old man's way, as long as his main force goes south  , Hehe, the Yangtze River is dangerous, so I can no longer stop this old man! The day to avenge my beloved son is just around the corner!"

    "My lord, please be careful." Wang Shirong reminded very politely: "Our army is invincible in land battles, but the navy is too weak. Even if the main force goes south, as long as the navy is still there, our army still has no 100% chance of winning.  Therefore, the students believe that the Yangtze River defense line is more likely to be outsmarted.¡±

    "That's why the old man came back here." The old man Wu laughed and sat back in the middle seat, stretched his legs, and said with a smile: "The old man called Yifeng and Xianyan back, just to ask you to work together to come up with a solution for the old man."  A good way to outwit the Yangtze River, allowing me to achieve the greatest victory at the least cost."

    "Grandfather, my grandson-in-law has learned some massage techniques from Dr. Zhu, please let my grandson-in-law relieve grandfather's fatigue." Fatty Lu was also so thick-skinned that he couldn't be more shameless.  Fat Hands massaged and hammered Old Traitor Wu's legs, and completely turned a blind eye to the contemptuous looks of Hu Guozhu, Wang Shirong, Fang Guangchen and others.

    "This is what the servant girl did, so you can use it?" Old Han Wu laughed happily, but he didn't resolutely refuse. He just patted Fatty Lu's fat forehead and said with a smile: "Yifeng, I owe it to you to be here today."  Zhiwei, don't worry, when your uncle and the others were alive, you were slightly wronged by the younger generation and took the lower position. When they get old and leave with the old man, you will be the chief assistant prime minister of this prince and grandson, the hereditary supervisor  king!""

    "Thank you grandfather for your wrong love, grandson-in-law will definitely devote himself to death and die." Fatty Lu quickly agreed, and he was honest and honest with a fat face.  At the end, Fatty Lu said even more obsequiously: "However, my son-in-law still has the courage to correct my grandfather. My grandfather and uncle, as well as Mr. Xianyan and Mr. Liangchen, must all live a long life and be healthy forever. My son-in-law is absolutely not  Blessed to serve the grandfather¡¯s next generation¡ªmaybe the son or grandson of the grandson-in-law will still have this blessing.¡±

    "Hahahahaha." Don't say old man Wu is a traitor, even Hu Guozhu, Fang Guangchen and others couldn't help laughing.  Old Traitor Wu patted Fatty Lu's fat forehead again, and said with a smile: "No wonder people call you a fat loach with oil on it. Oily is a good thing - too much oily, that's cunning with ill intentions. Okay, don't mess around."  Flattering, let¡¯s talk, if you have some opinions, you should say it first.¡±

    The old traitor Wu asked him to speak first, but Fatty Lu felt ashamed to always wait for others to finish speaking first before jumping out to express his insights. He just pushed and held his legs for the old traitor Wu, and said respectfully: "  Grandfather and grandson-in-law, in my humble opinion, judging from the current situation of the Migou court, it is really unlikely that they intend to use the permanent peace agreement to play tactical tricks. There are two reasons.  The second is that Mangou can no longer afford to anger our army again, even if the Huguang battlefield is protected by the Yangtze River, the Jiangxi garrison cannot escape our army's horrific revenge, and the Emperor Mangou has no such courage now."

    "So my son-in-law believes that at least 80% of Mangou's signing of the permanent non-contradictory peace agreement with our army this time may be from the heart! Within half a month, Mangou will definitely dispatch troops from Huguang to rush to Fujian and Zhejiang to rescue the emergency!"

    "My son-in-law also has the same opinion." Hu Guozhu chimed in and said, "And my son-in-law thinks that even if Emperor Mangou wants to appease Geng Jingzhong, it won't have much impact on us. Geng Jingzhong is now enjoying himself on the Zhejiang battlefield, so even if Emperor Mangou swallows his anger  Recruiting him will only increase Geng Jingzhong's appetite, and once the opportunity comes, it is a sure thing to raise troops again, and it will also help us contain a large number of full-fledged soldiers and consume a lot of full-fledged national power."

    "Yeah, this king thinks so too." The old traitor Wu nodded again and again, and said with a very proud smile: "This king uses the method taught by Yifeng, assuming that he is the emperor of the dog,bsp; "Then tell me quickly? What's the plan?" Old man Wu sat up straight and forced himself to listen carefully. Hu Guozhu, Fang Guangchen and Wang Shirong all pricked up their ears, listening carefully to Fatty Lu's new bad idea.

    "The son-in-law's move is still going from east to west." Fatty Lu said in a deep voice: "Attack Luoshan, contain and take the opportunity to annihilate the Mangou navy, attack Hanyang, use Hanyang as a breakthrough, and smash Mangou's Yangtze River defense line in one fell swoop."

    "How to do it specifically?" Hu Guozhu asked.

    "The first step is to withdraw troops, but not to withdraw weapons." Fatty Lu counted his fat fingers, "From tomorrow, our army can withdraw troops according to the peace agreement, and lure Mangou to divide its troops from the Huguang battlefield, but the most critical new firearms are not available."  Take it away, and keep it in Wuchang City and Yuezhou City for backup."

    "The second step is to use Mr. Xianyan's tactic of dividing the whole into parts and let 3,000 infantry secretly sneak into Yuezhou City to gather for later use."

    "The third step is to wait until the afternoon of October 16. The main force of our army will prepare meals at noon and dispatch troops at noon time. We must arrive at the Luoshan battlefield in Yuezhou before dawn on October 18. We will be caught off guard by killing all the dogs!  Attack the Luoshan Ferry in an all-round way, entangle the main force of Mangou and the reserve team in Luoshan, and create an opportunity for the Wuchang army to surprise Hanyang!"

    "At the same time as the fourth step and the third step, our army dispatched an army to the north in advance, and arrived in Wuchang to listen to it without the scouts from the Mangou scouts."

    "The fifth step is the night of October 17, because the next day is the day when the prisoners of war and the army's food and grass are exchanged. Mangou must be negligent that night. Our Wuchang army can take the opportunity to attack Hanyang Ferry, which is empty of Mangou troops, and take the lead in launching the crossing.  The success of the Battle of Jiang is very certain. However, our army launched the attack at night. Given the distance from Hanyang to Luoshan, no matter whether it is by water or land, it is absolutely impossible for Mangou to send the news to Luoshan before dawn on October 18.  "

    "The sixth step, in the early morning of October 18, our navy and army launched a strong attack on the Mangou navy stationed in Luoshan. Under the cover of the river bank fort, we launched a decisive battle with the Mangou navy!  During this period, Mangou Hanyang's rescue messenger arrived at Luoshan. The main force of Mangou had to reinforce Hanyang as soon as possible, but also faced a strong attack from our army's main force.  Didn't he succeed in capturing Hanyang again, and took the opportunity to severely damage the Mangou navy?"

    After finally listening to Fatty Lu's eloquence, old traitor Wu, Hu Guozhu and others were already deep in thought, carefully calculating every link of Fatty Lu's trick.  But Wang Shirong thought very quickly, and immediately pointed out two fatal loopholes, "Wait, your plan is easy to say, but it is impossible to do!  Empty? Two, Yuezhou is six hundred miles away from the martial arts field, how did you let our army go north without the eyes of the scouts and secret agents?"

    "The first question is very simple." Fatty Lu replied with spread his hands: "After Huguang Mangou divides its troops to go south, the main force of the remaining Mangou garrison will inevitably move westward and station at Luoshan.  Prevent the main force of our army from attacking the nearest Luoshan Ferry, so that night, the Manchu army in Hanyang was not only negligent in guarding against it, but also must have been empty of troops!"

    "It makes sense." Wang Shirong nodded, and then asked again: "What about the second one? How did you let our army hide from Man Gou's eyeliner, and let Man Gou go north to Wuchang without warning? Don't tell me,  You only plan to fight the battle of crossing the river with the 10,000 troops left behind in Wuchang?"

    "If it's just the army left behind in Wuchang, it's definitely not enough." Fatty Lu laughed wickedly, "But Mr. Liangchen seems to have forgotten that in just a few days, we will have an army of nearly 20,000 going north to Wuchang.  It is legal and reasonable, swaggering northward to Wuchang, even if the dogs find it, they will not be vigilant, and they will not leave heavy troops for defense."

    "Is there still such an army?" Wang Shirong was completely confused by Fatty Lu, and said in confusion: "It can be swaggering northward without making Mangou vigilant. There are still in the world."

    "Huh?" At this point, Wang Shirong suddenly came to his senses, and stared at Fatty Lu speechlessly.

    "I see!" Hu Guozhu jumped up, "I see, there is such an army that can swagger northward without arousing the alarm of the dog!"

    "I understand too." Fang Guangchen also came to his senses and applauded loudly.

    "Ah, how did the old man forget them?" Old man Wu exclaimed treacherously, and immediately understood the core and black heart of Fatty Lu's scheme.

    "How is it?" Fatty Lu asked with a sinister smile: "Grandfather, Uncle, Mr. Xianyan, Mr. Liangchen, tell me, can this army hide from the eyes of the dogs?"

    Old traitor Wu, Hu Guozhu, Fang Guangchen, and Wang Shirong looked at each other, and suddenly made a rude gesture to Fatty Lu, and cursed in unison: "You fat man is really vicious! You can even figure out such a vicious scheme!  "(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

 Chapter 240 Sacrifice

    ?

    Let's turn the time back to the right path. On October 14th, the twelfth year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, the Mite Qing water transport fleet loaded with military pay and grass arrived in Hanyang.  The commander of the battlefield, General Fuyuan, Tuhai repeatedly dissuaded him, hoping that the fleet would stay for a few more days, but the new commander of the Fujian-Zhejiang battlefield, who was also appointed as the general, and Wang Jieshu of Kangjun, was anxious to go to Zhejiang to show his skills. Yixue was captured by the enemy.  On the same day, 60,000 main forces of the Huguang Qing Army were loaded, and Zhang Fan went eastward to rescue the critically critical Zhejiang battlefield.

    What made Tu Haitu even more depressed was that because of the lack of ships to carry troops, the emperor's cousin Wang Jieshu of Kang Jun forced himself to draw up 20 warships and lent them to Lord Kang to transport troops to the east¡ªin fact, as long as  After a squeeze, the water transport fleet can barely hold the 60,000 troops, but the ship is too heavy, and the speed of the ship is bound to slow down, so King Kang, who is eager to go to the Zhejiang battlefield to torture rookies and make contributions, is not satisfied.  ¡ª¡ªOf course, later on, this also became a major proof of Lord Kang's foresight.

    ?The main force that was regarded as the cornerstone was finally transferred to the Fujian battlefield. No matter how worried and dissatisfied Tu Hai was, he could only sigh in vain.  In desperation, in order to be sure, Tuhai could only make garrison adjustments on the same day. He personally led an army of 20,000 to go upstream overnight to Luoshandu, the first main battlefield after the adjustment of the strength of the enemy and us.  There, the main position to prevent Wu Jun from crossing the river to the north was re-established.  The Hanyang-Huangzhou defense line, which was already dangerously empty, was entrusted by Tu Hai to Cai Yurong, the treacherous and treacherous governor of Sichuan and Huguang, and the prefect of Huangzhou¡ªDa Yu Jackie Chan!

    In order to be sure, limited to the current financial resources and time constraints of the Qing army, although Tuhai did not build beacon towers along the river like Guan Yu did, he still repeatedly urged Cai Yurong and Yu Chenglong to make sure that Cai Yurong and Yu Chenglong did it for one day.  Report the military situation of Hanyang and Huangzhou three times. If only two military reports are received in a day, Tuhai will immediately divide his troops and return to help.  !  Cai Yurong and Yu Chenglong, who rushed to Hanyang to take orders, were sweating profusely, and respectfully agreed, so Tu Hai felt relieved to lead the troops westward.

    In the early morning of October 15th, the main force of the Huguang Qing army led by Tuhai, Chani, and Yang Jie finally set off for Luoshan. After confirming repeatedly that the scouts did not find any abnormalities in the Wu army, Cai Da, who stayed behind in Hanyang,  The governor finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said to Jackie Chan: "Our commander-in-chief Tu is good at everything, but he is a little timid. Wuchang Wugou has only 10,000 troops, and there is no navy stationed. Even if he suddenly kills Jianglai,  We are sure to win one-on-one, I really don't know what he has to worry about?"

    "Don't blame Cai Butang." Yu Chenglong replied respectfully: "I believe that Tutang is so cautious because of the safety of our country and society in the Qing Dynasty. If the Yangtze River defense line is lost, then our Central Plains of the Qing Dynasty will have no danger to defend.  Moreover, Wu's rebel army is cunning and deceitful, the so-called peace treaty, whether it will be fulfilled for a long time to stop the war, still needs time to verify, and the Wanwang Ministry should be cautious."

    "Of course this official knows." Cai Yurong snorted coldly, and then ordered: "My lord, I didn't urge you, just to be cautious, you should also return to Huangzhou City (now Huanggang), and let me closely monitor Wuchang County (now Hubei)  City) and the movements of Wugou¡¯s army in Fankou, reporting the enemy¡¯s situation three times a day, there must be no mistakes¡ªif there is a mistake, what will be the consequences, I don¡¯t think I need to emphasize it?¡±

    "Of order, I will leave immediately and return to Huangzhou." Yu Chenglong got up and cupped his hands, and said kindly: "Cai Butang, do you want to transfer some of the 3,000 troops stationed in Huangzhou to Hanyang? I have already recruited in Huangzhou."  Four thousand voluntary soldiers from the countryside are quite sufficient.¡±

    "No!" Cai Yurong resolutely rejected Yu Jackie's kindness, and sternly shouted: "Don't take it lightly just because there are few Wugou soldiers in Wuchang County and Fankou.  It¡¯s vulnerable! If you don¡¯t leave you with 3,000 main soldiers, how can you tell me to rest assured of Huangzhou?¡±

    "The lower official understands, Xie Butang cares, then the lower official leaves." Yu Chenglong didn't insist either, and after bowing his hands and saluting, he left immediately.  Cai Yurong did not send him off either, but told Yu Jackie to be careful, and sent his third son, Cai Ji, to take Jackie Chan to Hanyang Wharf and return to Huangzhou by boat.

    After Yu Chenglong left, Cai Yurong called the eldest son Cai Lin and the second son Cai Xun, and told them: "Lin'er, Xun'er, what is the situation now, as a father, I will not say much, as a father, I will only separate you two."  Errand, Xun'er, from now on, you will be responsible for scouting and careful arrangements, and you will be doubled for your father. You must closely monitor all movements in the south of Wuchang Prefecture.  No matter when the army is mobilized, report it immediately! The matter is of great importance, and we must not relax, let alone take it lightly!"

    "Understood, please fatherFace to face, kowtow to the direction where Yi Cheng's voice disappeared.

    Note: The anti-Qing uprising in Dongshan, Macheng is by no means a fiction, and He Shirong, the leader of the uprising army, did exist. However, this uprising in response to Wu Jun¡¯s anti-Qing uprising during the San Francisco Rebellion was quickly suppressed by the Qing army.  After the army was cut off, he still fought bravely with his left hand, killing the traitor general Wu Zhilan, and was captured because he accidentally fell into the mud river, and was brutally killed by the Qing army.  And the executioner who brutally suppressed this anti-Qing uprising was precisely the prefect of Huangzhou at that time, and now the one whose buttocks are licked every day by the naked boss¡ª¡ªYu Chenglong!

 Chapter 241 Start

    ?

    At the beginning, our Governor Cai Yurong really couldn't believe that there is such a good thing in the world. The enemy would betray the enemy's friendly army and cut off foreign aid to support him.  Cheng, after Yi Cheng died without uttering a word of confession, our Governor Cai gradually began to believe that he really won the lottery this time, and finally encountered a once-in-a-lifetime idiot among the enemies.

    One day later, in the early morning of October 17, our governor Cai received an urgent report from Yu Chenglong and the upright officials. Yi Cheng's incident was probably confirmed correctly¡ªbecause on the first day, Macheng guard Wu Zhilan urgently reported,  In the Dongshan area of ??Macheng, a large number of local people gathered abnormally, and most of them held hoes, iron forks, shotguns, sticks and other murderous objects. It seemed that there were signs of civil uprising, and Wu Zhilan received a report from the local landlord that the leader of this group of people,  It's Macheng Dongshan native, He Shirong!

    "The Clippers sent an order to Yu Chenglong, asking him to organize an army to attack, and we must kill the Dongshan bandits at the first sign!" After confirming that the situation was critical, Cai Yurong, Governor Cai made a decisive decision, and immediately ordered: "Also, let Hanyang Deputy General Hao  Ren led a thousand troops from Huangban to the north, and went to Macheng to assist Yu Jackie in suppressing the rebellion!"

    "Father Commander, you still want to transfer troops from Hanyang?" Cai Lin was taken aback, and quickly dissuaded her: "Father Commander, there is no need for it?  Is Hanyang mobilizing troops? In Haier¡¯s opinion, using Huangzhou¡¯s troops to suppress the rebellion is enough, at most, it will take longer, and it will be easy to wipe out the gang of thieves in Macheng.¡±

    "Petty yellow-haired boy, you know nothing!" Cai Yurong scolded his son angrily, and then explained in a low voice: "What do you know? When Tutang and Chabeile were in Hanyang, the defense line from Hanyang to Huangzhou was always  As stable as Mount Tai, solid as solid as gold. Now that they have just left, there will be chaos in Macheng, Huangzhou. If my father doesn't get rid of this gang of thieves as soon as possible, how will I explain to Tutang? Even if Tutang is reasonable and understands that things happened by accident, the emperor sent Hanyang to supervise the prisoners of war  The exchanged Prince Gong is in Hanyang at the moment, he is the emperor's fifth younger brother, if he returns to Beijing and casually says something to the emperor, then our Cai family will have to go back and forth?"

    The Prince Gong mentioned by Cai Yurong is the fifth son of Shunzhi and the fifth younger brother of Kang Mazi - Aixinjueluo Changning. He came to Hanyang with the water transport fleet three days ago  Dadu, the servant of the household department, supervised the delivery of the army's salary and food, and welcomed the return of the prisoners of war.  Although the insidious and cunning Kang Mazi sent Chang Ning to exchange prisoners of war, and some of them deliberately made Chang Ning notorious, but Chang Ning would treat Kang Mazi casually if Tuhai and Chani made mistakes just after they left the Hanhuang defense line.  Let me just mention that Cai Yurong, who was already treated coldly by Kang Mazi because of losing Sichuan and Pianyuan, is definitely honorable in front of Kang Mazi.

    "What the father said is very true, my child understands." After being carefully explained by Cai Yurong, Cai Lin finally understood the good intentions of the traitor father, but she still felt a little worried: "But the father, Hanyang  .¡±

    "There will be nothing wrong here in Hanyang, at least within a couple of days." Cai Yurong waved his hand and said with a sneer: "Tomorrow is the day when the military pay and food will be exchanged with prisoners of war. The old thief Wu Sangui doesn't want military pay and food.  What happened at this time? On the other hand, there are few troops in Huangzhou, and there is such a turmoil in the rear. If my father does not send reinforcements to Yu Chenglong, there may be big troubles in Huangzhou."

    "Understood, my son will make arrangements now." Cai Lin couldn't compete with her traitor father, so she had to accept orders obediently.

    At the same time, Cai Lin thought to herself, since Wu Yingqi was able to hand over the contacts of the Dongshan rebels to us, self-destructing his future and betraying his counterparts across the river, it proved that Wu Jun was very sincere in implementing the permanent non-aggression peace treaty, at least in the short term.  , there will be no possibility of launching a cross-river campaign, and no abnormal mobilization of the Wu army has been found in the south of Wuchang. It is tantamount to a dream to break through the natural danger of the Yangtze River with the 10,000 second-rate Wu army in Wuchang city who are addicted to gambling.  So Cai Lin didn't hesitate any longer, and hurriedly sent an order for Cai Yurong, ordering Hanyang Vice General Hao Ren to lead a thousand troops northward to help the Huangzhou Qing army put down the chaos in Macheng.

    Cai Lin is definitely not the only general and official of the Qing army who has the same thoughts as Cai Lin. Cai Yurong and his other sons also have the same thoughts in Xinyang City.  In addition, Cai Yurong's two major military deputies, Sang E and Fang Zhengse, also felt that Wu Yingqi was so interesting, and they guarded him like thieves and robbers.  The envoy thanked him and used the tense relationship between the Qing army and the Wu army to facilitate a long-term friendly relationship in the future. Cai Yurong heard that it was right, and immediately sent envoys to cross the river with gifts to thank Wu Yingqi.

    clear? good at.  For other matters, wait until Hanyang is conquered, and then listen to the arrangement of the father.  "

    Wu Yingqi, who has the highest official position and status, has said so. What else can the generals of Wu Jun say, and they all congratulated Fatty Lu together.  The son-in-law is in charge of you for the time being, and the nephew and son-in-law dare not disobey the order of grandfather Jun, so they can only offend."

    "It's okay, it's okay, you are a person promoted by your uncle, and now you can command me, it proves that I have a good vision, what is there to be ashamed of?" Wu Yingqi, who had been ordered by the old traitor Wu, laughed and waved: "You are welcome.  Now, give the order quickly, if anyone dares to disobey you, uncle will clean him up for you!"

    "Thank you, thank you very much." Fatty Lu quickly cupped his hands in thanks, then stood up straight and asked, "Generals, in the battle of crossing the river, the sailors of the ships will be in charge of Taiwan's allies, and our soldiers will be responsible for the charge. Who dares to be the vanguard, go  Destroy the Mangou navy and open the way for my army to cross the river?"

    "The last general is willing to go!" To Fatty Lu's surprise, besides Fatty Lu's confidantes, several generals of the Wu army stood up and saluted Fatty Lu to ask for orders.  Among them, Wu Yingqi's deputy, Wang Xu, was the most resolute. He took a step forward, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said loudly, "Marshal Lu, the last general, Wang Xu, is willing to be the vanguard of the whole army and open the way for the army to cross the river!"

    "General Wang, I don't believe you if it's not my brother" Fatty Lu hesitated¡ªthis Wu army general named Wang Xu didn't have much contact with Fatty Lu, and he was usually taciturn. Fatty Lu didn't know him very well, so he really didn't know.  Dare to entrust him with the most important tasks.

    "Marshal Lu, do you feel that the general is not familiar with water warfare, so you are not very relieved?" Wang Xu saw what Fatty Lu was thinking, and said proactively: "The general dare not lie to Marshal Lu and the second prince.  As early as when Wuchang was captured, the general had already concluded that the prince would launch a battle to cross the river sooner or later, so this year, the general led his headquarters to take turns to practice swimming and boating in the Yangtze River and Liangzi Lake every day. Now the general has more than a thousand soldiers under his command  , are already quite proficient in water and able to drive a boat. I will practice hard for a year, just for today, and I hope the commander will make it happen!"

    "Yifeng, Uncle can testify for Wang Xu on this point." Wu Yingqi said, "Uncle can testify. When Uncle brought his brothers to gamble and have fun, Wang Xu was always leading the headquarters to practice water warfare.  I praised him. It¡¯s just that you are often not in Wuchang, so I don¡¯t know much about it.¡±

    "Talent, another talent that I have neglected." Fatty Lu raised his eyebrows, and began to look at Wang Xu, who was usually taciturn, with admiration - to have such foresight, what is it but talent?  At that moment, Fatty Lu nodded immediately and said: "Very good, then General Wang, I will entrust you with the important task of vanguard!"

    (Note: Wang Xu is not a fictional person. He was a brave general of the Wu army trained in the mid-stage of the San Francisco Rebellion. He defeated Yue Le's army in the Changsha War and forced Yue Le to withdraw to Jingzhou. He was the most outstanding during the San Francisco Rebellion.  General Mu Zhan of the Qing Dynasty was also defeated by Wang Xu alone in this battle, and his whereabouts are unknown.)  Your support is my greatest motivation.)

 Chapter 242 Fatty Crossing the River

    ?

    The cold wind was biting, the river was rushing, the waves were continuous, and the Wuchang-Hanyang River was covered in darkness under the night. Only a few scout ships from the two armies lit their lonely lights and patrolled the invisible river.  However, compared with the previous period, whether it is the Qing army defense area on the north bank or the Wu army defense area on the south bank, the number of scouts and patrols on both sides has obviously decreased a lot, and their attitudes have also relaxed a lot.  It's so tight, unless it is a north-south boat, ordinary civilian boats and fishing boats going down the river or up the river, there are basically no scout boats to search and question.

    Near the second watch, a layer of mist gradually formed on the surface of the river, the temperature became lower and lower, and the vision became more and more poor. Wu Jun's scout ships probably saw that staying on the river was of no use, so they simply retreated to the south and shrank to  Gathered around Wuchang Wharf, where they chatted and warmed up.  The scouts of the Qing Army judged the movement of the Wu Jun scouts from the lights, and they couldn't help but feel lazy. Several scout ships began to shrink towards the Hanyang Wharf. Only one more honest scout ship was still floating near the center of the river, continuing to monitor all kinds of people on the river.  kind of movement.

    To be so loyal to his duty in the foggy night in the winter, the captain on the scout ship of the Qing army could bear it, but the other ordinary soldiers couldn't bear it. One of the soldiers smashed an empty wine gourd into the side of the ship and cursed  : "Fucking day, half a catty of rice wine that was agreed to be worth at night, three taels at most, and the remaining two taels will definitely be taken by Huang Datou in exchange for Baqi ointment. Dutou, you have to deal with Sun when you go back.  Let¡¯s talk about guerrillas, that bastard Huang Datou was picked up and beaten with dozens of army sticks.¡±

    "Sun Guerrilla speaks and manages the ball!" A Qing soldier interjected: "Huang Datou's sister is a maid in the governor's house. I heard that she is still serving the governor well in bed. If he wants to take a concubine, Sun Guerrilla dares to provoke him.  ball!"

    "Then the old men deserve to be unlucky?" The Qing soldier who vented his dissatisfaction said angrily: "The military salary has not been paid for more than a month, and even the rice wine for the night watch is withheld, and the old men are not allowed to patrol.  "

    "Shut up!" The chief of the Qing army on the scouting ship finally spoke up, yelling angrily: "Chen Ergou, your dog mouth will kill you sooner or later, believe it or not? If you drink two liang less, drink less."  Two, what's so great about having a dick? I still want to drink, do you want to drink my urine?"

    "Dutou, I'm not attacking you, why are you so angry?" Chen Ergou said unconvinced: "It's such a cold day, and there's no wine to warm you up. If you have to wait till dawn, who can stand it?  In my opinion, we'd better retreat to the pier and enjoy the fire, like the other ships, and don't be a fool here."

    "Yeah, Dutou, everyone else has gone back to the pier, so let's go too." Several other Qing scouts also echoed, "Anyway, the war has ceased, why are you so stupid? Everyone else has retreated, so let's retreat too.  .¡±

    Considering that the other comrades were slacking off, the Chief of the Qing Army was inevitably tempted, but at this moment, a soldier of the Qing Army suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, "Dutou, listen quickly, there is the sound of boating!"  He quickly listened, and sure enough, he heard the sound of boats breaking through the waves from the south, but there were no lights in the mist, as if a ship was secretly approaching.

    "Prepare to call the police on the gong!" Na Dutou made a decisive decision and ordered the soldiers of the Qing army to prepare the gong to protect the police at any time.  But as soon as the words fell, the soldiers of the Qing army took out the gong, and a light suddenly lit up in the dark place opposite, and someone shouted in a Yunnan-Guizhou accent: "Don't shoot the arrows, we are here to send the Eight Banners ointment, which one of you is here?"  The person Governor Cai sent to pick us up?"

    "Did you bring the Eight Banners ointment?" The soldiers of the Qing army on the scouting ship were all taken aback, and they were not in a hurry to beat the gong to call for the police.  After a while, a civilian cargo ship appeared in front of the scouts of the Qing army. Several Wu army officers and soldiers stood on board, none of them armed. One of the Wu army generals, who was wearing a general's uniform, glanced at the Qing army scout ship and asked casually.  Said: "Are you sent by Governor Cai? Where is Baqi Gao unloading?"

    "What do you want to do? What Baqi ointment?" Na Tutou asked vigilantly.

    "Are we here to send the Eight Banners ointment?" General Wu Jun asked very strangely: "What's the matter, aren't you sent by Governor Cai to welcome us?"

    "No." Na Du shook his head.

    "Fuck, Xu Er, is the time wrong? Is it the second watch now?" General Wu Jun turned around and asked and scolded.  A soldier of the Wu army replied: "That's right, it's the second watch."

    "What's the problem?" General Wu Jun scratched his head, then patted his head again, and suddenly said, "You Governor Cai must have misremembered the time, or forgot!" After that, General Wu Jun climbed on the side of the ship again  Shang said to Dutou: "Brother, can I trouble you to go to the pier and ask, who is Governor Cai who is here to pick up the goods? If there is no more, I will trouble you to inform Governor Cai that we have sent Baqi ointment.  , ask him to send a boat to pick him up?It¡¯s not a simple comparison of troop numbers, but Fatty Lu, who values ??his opponent tactically, is quite confident in the combat effectiveness of the Wu army. However, the Wu army Wu Yingqi and Wang Xu¡¯s troops who landed in the first two waves did not disappoint Fatty Lu. The army of Cai Yurong and his son certainly  They charged fiercely, but Wu Yingqi and Wang Xu's armies also defended tenaciously until Zhang Zufa's army landed. Wu Yingqi and Wang Xu's two armies still controlled a considerable area on the pier, making room for Zhang Zufa's army to land.  Out of space and time, and with the successful third landing of the Wu army, the entire Qing army began to waver. The enemy is fighting more and more, how can this be fought?

    After another half an hour of bloody fighting, new bad news came. A Wu army landed from the west of the pier, and had already made a detour to attack the empty city of Hanyang.  In this way, although Governor Cai knew that Wu Jun was besieging Wei and saving Zhao, he was caught in a dilemma. Either he continued to gamble, betting that he could continue to defend the pier, keep the important warships that were still alive, and strive to persist to the source of friendly troops;  If the troops still remain, immediately abandon the pier position, retreat to Hanyang City, which is high and deep, and wait for help with the help of the strong city - and keep the two distinguished guests of the capital, Changning and Dadu, otherwise, once they fall into the hands of the Wu army,  My own family and nine clans must have been killed instead of beheaded.

    "Wu Gou only has 10,000 troops in Wuchang. If he retreats to defend Hanyang, there is still hope for a long time to defend Hanyang. But if he continues to stay on the pier, wait for Wu Gou to take down Hanyang City and nail the nails in Jiangbei before trying to pull it out."  It will be difficult to drop this nail. And once Prince Gong falls into the hands of Wu Gou, I will never even think about surviving!" After weighing the pros and cons repeatedly, Governor Cai Da finally stomped his feet and shouted: "Ming Jin,  Abandon the pier and save Hanyang City!"

    "Dangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdang!" As soon as the sound of golden bells rang, the Qing army, who had been entangled with Wu Jun on the pier for a long time and was still struggling to make any progress, began to retreat like a tide, and fled to Hanyang City with Cai Yurong.  However, the soldiers of the Qing army who were still resisting on the warship were crying loudly, cursing Cai Yurong for being ruthless and ungrateful.  After hacking and killing, Wang Xu led his headquarters to the Qing army warship, and launched an extermination and killing of the remaining Qing soldiers guarding the cabin.

    At dusk, as the fourth wave of Wu troops boarded the pier, the overall situation of the battlefield at Hanyang Wharf settled.  One, completely destroyed the other four, and also captured countless ordinary civilian ships, warships, and sentry ships, which completely changed the advantage of the Wuchang River surface army and completely guaranteed the safety of the fifth and sixth waves of troops crossing the river. Cai Yurong led the  More than 5,000 defeated soldiers fled back to Hanyang City, relying on the fortified city to stand by and wait for help.  When the news came back to Wuchang, there was thunderous cheers on the Wuchang pier, and countless soldiers of the Wu army jumped up and down to celebrate the success of the battle of crossing the river.

    "Thank God, I finally crossed the Yangtze River successfully." After clapping his hands together to rejoice, Fatty Lu quickly ordered: "Hurry up and send an order to Wang Xu and Chen Wenhuan, let them drive the full dog warship to bring more burning fire bottles, and replace it with full dog  Military uniforms, pretending to be defeated by the Mangou Navy, and went down the river to meet the Mangou Navy rescuers in Huangzhou. They said they were defeated by us and went to Huangzhou to ask for help and replenish their troops. What happened after they mixed into Huangzhou's Mangou fleet  Do it, let them figure it out for themselves!"

    "I got the order!" Xiao Erlang agreed with his hands clasped, and quickly rushed down to deliver the order.  Next to him, Wang Shaobo said worriedly: "Boss, you sent the warship downstream. If Luoshan is full of dogs from the upstream, what will you do?"

    "Luoshan is full of dogs?" Fatty Lu grinned, and said, "Let's talk about it after they get rid of the entanglement of the main force of our navy.  This meeting has received Hanyang's request for help in advance, and I am afraid I will not dare to go south to rescue."

    At noon in the morning, Fatty Lu stayed in Wangjing to guard Wuchang, personally led the sixth wave of crossing troops across the Yangtze River, arrived at the north bank of the Yangtze River, and personally commanded the battle to attack the city of Hanyang.  When his feet stepped on the blood-soaked Jiangbei ground, Fatty Lu couldn't help but knelt down on his knees, leaned over and gently kissed the Jiangbei land, weeping, raised his head and shouted, "Yangtze River, I'm finally here!  Man Gou, you wait, the Lord is going to settle accounts with you!  Let's settle the old and new accounts with you!  "

    At the same time, on the upper floor of Hanyang City, when seeing the sixth wave of Wu Jun's fleet land, making Jiangbei's army obviously exceed tens of thousands, our Governor Cai Da was completely crazy, "Oh my god! So many Wugou from Wuchang  The army? How is it possible? How is it possible? Are they all flying from the sky?" (To be continued.

 Chapter 243 The Battle of the Yangtze River (Part 1)

    ?

    In the early morning of the 18th day of the twelfth year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, when the sky was twilight, almost at the same time when the dust of the battle at the Hanyang Wharf had settled, the old traitor Wu also led a large group of important civil servants and generals of the Wu army to the Luoshan Great Wall with the Qing army.  At Ruxikou in Linxiang, where the battalion looked across the river, the Wu army flag array was set up here, and he personally commanded the crucial Luoshan battle.

    It was also at this time that the Luoshan Qing army finally discovered the sudden arrival of the main force of the Wu army, and they cursed the old man Wu for being despicable, shameless and obscene.  The cavalry hurried out of the battalion to assemble, and rushed to the river bank to fill the line of defense; the navy rushed up and down the warships, sailed and rowed to stand on the pier, and lined up on the river crossing route to prevent the Wu army from crossing the river; Tuhai, Chani and Yang  The generals of the Qing army, such as Jie, rushed to the ferry to set up the flag array, while roaring furiously, "Where are the scouts? What about the secret work? What are you doing for food? Why did the old thief Wu Sangui come to Luoshan himself and report to us?"

    "Back to Commander, this is already the fastest speed." Second-class Adahaha Fan Enei, the former general of Luoshan and now in charge of scouting the enemy situation in Luoshan for Tuhai, replied with a sad face: "Our scouts found Wu in Qinggang.  The main force of the dog suddenly went north, and rushed to Luoshan immediately to report back, but Wugou's Yuezhou garrison suddenly closed the big and small gates, and no one was allowed to pass through. Our scouts managed to detour to the edge of the Yangtze River and came back here.  They came to report, but as soon as their front feet entered the camp, Wu Gou's forward feet reached the opposite bank."

    "Then what about our secret work?" Tu Hai roared: "What about the secret work we sent to Changsha? The main force of the old thief Wu Sangui sent troops from Guiyi, no matter how fast it was, it would have to be dispatched the day before yesterday evening.  No one from Xizuo came to call the police?"

    "Well, the last general doesn't know about this." E Nei's expression was even more mournful, and he replied: "The dozen or so secret agents sent by the last general to Guiyi have not returned yet. It seems that they have either been arrested or  Killed."

    "Trash! Idiot!" Tuhai roared, and then roared again: "Now I don't bother to argue with you, and immediately take your army to Jiangxin Island, where they will guard the throat of Wugou crossing the river, keep it, I will spare you  You won't die! If you can't keep it, don't come back, and I will settle the old and new scores with you when I come back!"

    "Take it, stick it." E'nei repeatedly agreed, rushed back to the immediate team, led his troops to board the ship, and rushed to Jiangxin Island, which guards the throat of the river, to cooperate with the defenders on the island to consolidate the defense here.

    The Qing army hurriedly arranged defenses on the north bank, while the main force of the Wu army, which was well prepared in advance, arranged an unhurried attack on the south bank of the Yangtze River.  The large and small artillery moved from the Hukou Fort was placed in place, installed and debugged, and the dock was urgently reinforced and a temporary dock was built.  In addition, there is also the Wu Jun navy who has been training troops in Dongting Lake for nearly a year under the cover of the fort.  Next, drive to Luoshan Ferry to listen.

    Let me introduce the specific military strength of the enemy and us. The Qing army has a garrison of 20,000 people in Luoshan, including more than 8,000 sailors. There are more than 50 sand-washing boats suitable for carrying troops and guns. They are flexible and fast.  There are more than 20 bird boats and thunder boats each, more than 80 small warships such as bluff boats and sentry boats, and hundreds of small boats and ordinary civilian boats and fishing boats. This is how Kang Mazi fought on the Yangtze River battlefield.  The most important naval family property.  In addition, the Qing army has nearly a hundred artillery pieces of various sizes, more than 80% of which are installed on sand-washing boats, bird boats, and thunder boats, and their combat effectiveness is quite powerful.

    On Wu's side, Yuezhou's original 13,000 garrisons were mobilized almost in full force, and Wu Jun's 3,000 troops secretly infiltrated into Yuezhou's assembly, plus the 30,000 troops brought by Wu's old traitor from Changsha Guiyi.  The main force of infantry and cavalry is more than double that of the Qing army, reaching more than 45,000, of which nearly 10,000 are newly built naval forces.  However, most of the Wu army's sailors were either Yunnan-Guizhou landlubbers who had only been training on the water for a year, or fishermen from the Yangtze River who had never been on the battlefield.  Excellent, but the combat effectiveness is obviously inferior to that of the Qing army navy.

    In terms of warships, because the Wu Jun Navy is newly formed, the old traitor Wu, who received technical support from the Taiwan Navy, decided to use all medium-sized bird ships as the main battleships, with a total of 35 ships.  This kind of bird boat from the sea navigation technology is named because the bow is shaped like a bird's beak. It has great advantages in wind and wave resistance and surface warfare, but the disadvantage is that the carrying capacity is not as good as the Qing army's main water warfare sand washing boat, and it is not suitable for carrying troops.  Landing operations, and the old traitor Wu did not intend to use this kind of warship to transport troops, but hoped that this fleet could compete with the Qing army navy on the water, so as to cover ordinary civilian ships to transport troops across the river.

    (Note: The information on the warships of the Wu Army comes from the "Pingdian General Record", which also records that after the death of the old traitor Wu,?The artillery fire was fierce, Wu Gou's warships were all in the west, and there were no extra warship guards. As long as half of the ships passed through Wu Gou's artillery fire, Wu Gou's troop carrier would be dead!  "

    "Wait!" Yang Jie was taken aback, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Tutang, are you kidding me? Dividing troops is the most taboo in water battles. Our navy has the upper hand, but after dividing our troops into two routes, we divide our troops in front of the Wugou fleet.  The superiority of the army has been greatly weakened, and Wu Gou still has the upper hand, which will give Wu Gou a chance to defeat us! In the opinion of the general, the best way is to gather the navy into a single group and directly  Go north to fight against Wugou's navy, as long as Wugou's navy is wiped out by our navy, Luoshan Ferry will be as stable as Mount Tai!"

    "Fart!" Tuhai was furious, and asked sharply, "Then let me ask you, I will hand over all the sailors to you, and let you go to a decisive battle with Wugou's sailors. How long will it take to wipe out Wugou?"

    "This" Yang Jie was a little dumbfounded, thinking that the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the situation that determines the outcome of a water battle is more than land. Who can guarantee how long it will take to wipe out the entire enemy army?

    "Is there nothing to say?" Tu Hai yelled, pointing at Jiangxin Island: "See, that Jiangxin Island is located in Jiangxin. If you were still entangled with Wugou Navy, Wugou had already seized this place."  If Wu Gou moves the Hongyi Cannon to Jiangxin Island, then our navy will have nowhere to hide on the river!  The navy, even our Luoshan camp, will be completely exposed to Wugou's artillery fire! To defend Luoshan, you must first defend this Jiangxin island for me!"

    "The middle hall is clever, the last general will obey." Yang Jie agreed with doubts and helplessness, so he quickly called his deputy Zhang Tao to arrange for Zhang Tao to lead a third of the fleet to attack the Wu army's troop fleet, while he himself  Lead the remaining two-thirds of the fleet upstream to fight the Wu Jun Navy.

    At the beginning of the time, the drums of the Wu army were beating, and Han Daren's 3,000 vanguards, carried by civilian ships, first charged towards Jiangxin Island, which was controlled by the Qing army general Enei.  The island charged at full speed.  At the same time, the Qing army was also beating loudly. The follow-up troops preparing to reinforce Jiangxin Island boarded the troop carrier and prepared.  Go upstream all the way, charge towards the main force of Wu Jun's navy, and seek a decisive battle.

    Seeing this scene, the old man Wu was not surprised but happy, applauded and laughed: "Okay, Man Gou really fell into the trick of the old man, hurry up, order Wu Yingjing to prepare forty suicide bombing ships, and let us choose a good death squad to board.  Ship, once the Wu dog fleet to the east breaks through our artillery blockade and approaches our troop carrier fleet, it will immediately launch a charge, and must completely wipe out the dog-filled fleet to the east! Tell the brothers of the death squad, die in battle  Those on the battlefield will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver for their family tattoos! Those who come back alive will each be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and promoted two ranks!"

    "Father-in-law, are you using a suicide boat now?!" Hu Guozhu was so frightened that he almost jumped up, and exclaimed: "When Yifeng proposed the plan, he emphasized that this move is too killing, and it is best to use it only at the last moment.  .The battle has just begun, father-in-law, why are you"

    "That oiled and fat loach has such a good heart?" Old man Wu gave his son-in-law a wicked look, and said with a smirk, "Learn a bit, you think he doesn't want the old man to use this trick early in the morning to frustrate the dog-like sailors?"  Vigorousness? He was just too embarrassed to open his mouth, so he said something to hide his face, and the old man just didn't want to point him out." (To be continued.

 Chapter 244 The Battle of the Yangtze River (Part 2)

    ?

    "Dong dong dong dong!" Amidst the earth-shattering sound of war drums, the Luoshan War has entered into a crucial battle to determine the outcome from the very beginning. Three land and water battlefields were arranged around the Jiangxin Island in the middle of the Luoshan River.  Three bloody battles were launched at the same time, and the first battlefield started was the battle for the beachhead of Jiangxin Island between the general Han Daren of the Wu Army and E Nei, the guard of Jiangxin Island of the Qing Army.

    "Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!" To the old traitor Wu's surprise, the firepower of the Qing army guards on Jiangxin Island was quite dense. Judging from the continuous degree of gunfire, the Qing army muskets on the island  It may even have reached about six or seven hundred guns, which made the old traitor Wu startled, and thought: "Why did Tuhai kid arrange so many muskets on Jiangxin Island? Could it be that he put half of the muskets in the army  Have all the gunmen been sent to Jiangxin Island?"

    Old traitor Wu¡¯s surprise was not unreasonable, because old traitor Wu was very aware of the musket equipment of the Qing army. On average, there were less than ten soldiers equipped with shotguns in a hundred infantry (Kang Mazi¡¯s thirteen-year data).  It has been repeatedly confirmed that Shan Daying has 20,000 troops. It stands to reason that there are at most 2,000 muskets. However, Tu Hai has arranged so many muskets on Jiangxin Island at once. Next, Jiangxin will be reinforced.  Do the Qing army on the island and the Qing army guarding the north shore still need muskets?

    "Father-in-law, please take a look." In doubt, the young sharp-eyed Hu Guozhu was the first to see the clue, holding a binoculars in one hand, pointing at Jiangxin Island with the other and shouting: "Father-in-law, Mangou has used a new musket.  Like a pipa, it can shoot continuously, is this the legendary new equipment of Mangou's Water Lianzhu?"

    The old traitor Wu raised the binoculars unhurriedly, and searched carefully on the beachhead of the Qing army on Jiangxin Island. Sure enough, the old traitor Wu soon discovered that there were several Qing soldiers hiding behind the antlers.  Holding a new-style musket that looks like a pipa, he is firing at the Wu army fleet that is gradually approaching the shore. It does not need to be filled with ammunition. The rate of fire is very fast, and it is fired continuously almost without pause.  The gun can almost top the firing speed of seven or eight ordinary muskets.  When the old traitor Wu suddenly realized it, he couldn't help but also felt a little timid¡ªcould his own landing army break through such a new-style musket blockade?

    Because the distance is too far, and the quality of telescopes in this era is not very high, it is really difficult for the old traitor Wu to observe the specific power of the Qing army's water lianzhu, so he has to put this matter aside for the time being and concentrate on observing Han  The charge of Da Ren's army.  What made the old traitor Wu quite gratified was that Han Daren, who had been expected by him, did not live up to his expectations after all. The fleet he led did not back down from the intensive firepower of the Qing army, while protecting the bow of the ship with a shield,  While shouting and moving forward at full speed, as soon as the boat touched the shore, countless soldiers of the Wu army jumped into the waist-deep river, waved their shields to block the Qing army's ammunition, bows and arrows, and roared to attack the island, even if they were hit by arrows and guns.  They also continued to move forward one after another, charging towards the Qing army's fortifications with all their strength.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    At this time, a new violent roar came. As the first Qing army warship appeared at the eastern end of Jiangxin Island, the Wu Army artillery team led by Xia Guoxiang began to pour out crazily.  The shells flew into the air, whistling and drawing terrifying tracks in the air, and smashed their heads and faces at the Qing army fleet. The first Qing army Ting-class warship immediately hit five shots in a row, and the deck mast was smashed to pieces.  Three of the explosive bombs exploded on the deck and in the cabin, and the Qing army sailors on the ship either flew into the air with blood and screams, and fell far into the river, and the warship immediately lost control and swirled.  Washed downstream by the river.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Wu Jun's powerful artillery team roared and roared one after another, pouring artillery fire, but the Qing army's navy experienced in water warfare also showed unimaginable courage and tenacity.  Turn the rudder, go upstream against the current, and kill the Wu army troop fleet in the middle of the side of Jiangxin Island.

    On the big river, successive explosions and roars completely covered all other sounds, and the flames continued to bloom on the river surface, and the sprays aroused by the explosions rushed higher and higher one by one.  The top mast was broken, struggling hard. I don't know how many Qing warships caught fire, and I don't know how many Qing warships had their decks broken and their sides broken.

    The drafts of at least two Qing army warships were hit by Wu Jun's flowering shells, blasting several large holes, the river surged into the cabin, the warships tilted suddenly, and the Qing army sailors who were standing unstable on the deck screamed.  Fall into the river.

    What's even more exciting is the scene where Wu Jun's flowering bullets hit the oars compartment of the Qing army's warship. The Qing army soldiers hiding in the cabin were shaking their oars profusely with sweat, but a black smoky man came in after a loud noise.  The iron ball didn't even have time or opportunity to react and dodge, the iron ball exploded directly, and the violent shock wave deposited in the cabin, even if the Qing army paddlers were not shot by the shrapnel, they would be shocked to death by the shock wave, and the blood wave  fromIs it?  Tuhai was dizzy and almost fainted on the ground. Chani rushed up and grabbed the Hanyang messenger with both hands, grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up, shouting in disbelief: "Wuchang Wugou broke through the Yangtze River?  How can it be?  !  How can it be?  Wuchang Wugou didn't even have a warship, so what did Cai Yurong and Fang Zhengse do for food?  !  "

    "Lord Baylor, Wu Dog is attacking at night!" The messenger cried and replied: "Because today is the day for the exchange of prisoners of war, Governor Cai and Fang Junmen did not expect Wu Dog to attack last night, and no warships were arranged to patrol the port.  , all were feasting and drinking in the city of Hanyang, and when Wu Gou suddenly killed the wharf with a civilian ship carrying troops, our warships had no chance to set sail again!"

    Chani was stunned, and unknowingly let go of his hands, allowing the Hanyang messenger to fall to the ground.  And just behind Chani, Tu Hai jumped up like crazy, drew his knife and slashed at the table in front of him, screaming frantically, "Cai Yurong! Fang Zhengse! Sang E! You bastards, you all deserve to be exterminated!"  ! The crime deserves to be delayed¡ª¡ª¡ª!¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Almost at the same time, Ge Bingzhen, the lieutenant general of the Huguang Navy of the Qing Army stationed in Huangzhou, had already led the Huangzhou fleet with ten warships as the core to set sail, sailing upstream, at full speed after receiving the Hanyang defenders' request for help.  Came to the Shakou water surface of Hanyang Prefecture.  Just when Ge Bingzhen ordered the whole army to speed up again, the scout ship in front suddenly turned around and reported that a warship of our own army had been spotted ahead. Ge Bingzhen was both happy and worried, and hurriedly sent scouts forward to question.

    After a while, the scout ship turned around again and reported that the fleet that appeared in front was the fleet of Fang Zhengse, the deputy commander of the Hanyang Navy. Because of the sudden attack, the soldiers on board suffered heavy losses, and the governor Cai Yurong had already retreated to Hanyang City.  There was nowhere to replenish soldiers, so he had no choice but to go down the river and go to Huangzhou to replenish soldiers in order to fight again.  Ge Bingzhen was overjoyed when he heard the news, and hurried the whole army to speed up to meet the friendly fleet.

    After a while, eleven warships of the Qing army flying the flag of the Qing army appeared on the river. All of them were covered with bloodstained hulls, covered with bullet holes, arrows and scorched marks, and several warships were still braving.  Slight black smoke, obviously just experienced a fierce battle.  When Ge Bingzhen took a closer look, he found that although the eleven Qing warships were in a state of distress, they were still complete and could continue to fight. He couldn't help but feel even more happy, and hurriedly ordered: "Give the flags to the warships ahead and let them  Stop and wait, I will divide the troops directly to them."

    After the flag was played, the Qing warships in front stopped advancing, and Ge Bingzhen's fleet accelerated and gradually approached the eleven warships. When Ge Bingzhen's flagship approached the Qing army flying the flag flag  At the time of the flagship, Ge Bingzhen, who was concerned about the battle in Hanyang, was the first to jump on the flagship of the friendly army, and shouted at the soldiers of the Qing army who stood up to greet him: "I am Ge Bingzhen, the deputy general of the Guangshui Division of Daqing Lake, and the commander of the Huangzhou Navy. Whose official position is here?"  Biggest? Come out and talk."

    "Why don't you talk?" Ge Bingzhen suddenly discovered that the group of Qing army generals and soldiers in front of him not only did not answer him, but also looked at each other in blank dismay, as if they were all inconceivably surprised.  Ge Bingzhen couldn't help being furious, and shouted again: "I will ask again, general, who has the highest official position here? Is Fang Junmen on board?"

    "Hey! What are you doing? Hey, bold, whose subordinates are you, are you so brave? Dare to take this general?"  Recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation.) (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com

    (ps: At the busiest time at the end of the year, you are still insisting on updating. Friends, don¡¯t you give monthly tickets to reward pure wolves?)

    "Cai Yurong, Sang E, Fang Zhengse, you three idiots! Trash! Sinners through the ages! When you return to the capital, the master will definitely cut you into pieces! You will be copied and executed! You will implicate the nine clans! Just kill you and cut you a thousand times!"  Ten thousand times, it¡¯s hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart! It¡¯s even harder to get rid of the hatred in the master¡¯s heart! You three stupid pigs¡ª¡ª!¡±

    Waving his waist knife wildly and roaring hysterically, Tu Haisheng chopped the table with the map and the table in front of him into pieces.  No more, all of them were stupefied in a daze, as if they had already lost their souls, and there was only one thought left in their minds, "It's over! The Yangtze River defense line is over, and the Qing Dynasty is also over!"

    "Tutang, please, send reinforcements to Hanyang! If you don't send reinforcements, Hanyang may not be able to keep it! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

    In the end, it was the crying voice of the Hanyang envoy for help, which pulled Tu Hai back from the maddened anger and fear.  Lifting him off the ground with his collar on, he roared and asked with red eyes: "Tell me, after Wu Dog successfully smuggled out of the country last night, what happened in the subsequent battle? How many sneak attacks did Wu Dog have on the army?"

    "When the villain left Hanyang, Cai Butang and the others were attacking the wharf with all their strength." The rescue messenger replied truthfully: "Judging from the shouts of killing, it seems that Wu Gou's sneak attack army is not too many, probably only a few thousand people are the least  It will be more than 1500, but it just killed us by surprise and seized the pier so that our warships could not sail, so Wu Gou¡¯s civilian ships could continue to transport troops to the shore. Later, because the villain was in a hurry to come to Luoshan for help, he did not  knew."

    "Let's say 1,500 people." Tu Hai calculated in his mind, "We have 6,000 troops in Hanyang, and it is very safe to stop the 1,500 Wugou troops.  At noon today, the navy from Huangzhou can also rush to Hanyang for reinforcements. Wugou has no warships in Wuchang, and Ge Bingzhen is sure to cut off the channel of Wugou's troop convoy. That is to say, even if Wugou grabs Ge Bingzhen's ship  Before the troops arrived, they carried the main force of Wuchang to the north bank of the Yangtze River. Excluding the troops left behind in Wuchang, Fankui and other places, the number of troops crossing the river would never exceed 7,000.  Wugou has great hopes for a day or two!"

    After thinking up to this point, Tu Hai hurriedly asked the messenger again: "Then I'll get back to you, your Cai Butang, have you found Wu Dog's army to reinforce Wuchang in the past few days?"

    "Absolutely not." The messenger quickly replied: "If Wuchang's Wugou army is found to be abnormal, even if we lend us a hundred courage, we dare not take it lightly last night."

    "It's your mother's shame that you still have the face to say this!" Tu Hai threw the messenger to the ground, kicked it angrily, then turned to the Qing army generals next to him and shouted: "Hanyang still has hope! Send someone immediately  Go to the river to contact Yang Jie and order him to defeat the Wugou navy within three hours! Then send an order to Zhang Tao to let him be in"

    "Boom!" The sudden sound of an explosion interrupted Tu Hai's order. Although the sound of gunpowder explosion can be heard everywhere on the land and water battlefield where blood and blood are flying, the sound of the explosion this time was so loud that it was almost like  It was a thunderbolt as loud and shocking as it exploded in the ears of Tu Hai and other Qing army generals.  Hearing this sound, Tuhai, Chani and other generals of the Qing army followed the sound subconsciously, but what surprised them even more was that the explosion came from the direction of the Yangtze River channel in the south of Jiangxin Island.  It's a pity that the cliff on Jiangxin Island happened to block Tuhai's view, so it would be difficult for Tuhai, Chani and others to know what caused such a violent explosion.

    "Boom! Boom!" There were two equally loud explosions. Although the cause of the explosion was still unclear, seeing the Wu army on the south bank cheering and the soldiers of the Qing army on Jiangxin Island holding their heads and screaming, Tu Hai  A premonition arose in the hearts of Qing army generals such as Zhani and others, a serious and bad premonition

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The one that can make such a loud noise is of course Wu Jun¡¯s Fat Man brand Huitian torpedo loaded with explosives. At the beginning, when Wu Jun¡¯s artillery team suddenly stopped firing, although the reason for the Qing Army¡¯s navy Zhang Tao¡¯s fleet was very strange, it was still subconscious.  Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they quickly turned around the cliff corner at the east end of Jiangxin Island covered by the Wu army's artillery, and hurriedly gathered at this position to head north, rushing towards the narrow and long fish-like waterway in the middle of Jiangxin Island.  On this shipway, the Wu army troop transport fleet full of soldiers is still struggling to get close to the beach of Jiangxin Island, looking for a suitable landing place.

    ?The great achievement of annihilating the Wu army's troop transport fleet is within reach, and there is no Wu army next to it.Both experienced and commanded properly without making any mistakes. The decisive battle between the Qing army and the Wu army naturally became a long and protracted war of attrition.  The Qing army relied on many ships and heavy loads to fight, and always wanted to fight hand-to-hand with the Wu army; the Wu army relied on the flexibility of the warships, shallow draft, and powerful firearms, and they were always swimming and fighting, trying not to give the Qing army side-to-side combat.  Opportunity: The warships of both sides come and go on the wide river, or collide with each other, or chase each other, or shoot at each other, or drop bombs at close quarters, thick smoke billows on the river, the sound of killing is loud, and the corpses in the river  The wreckage drifted with the current, and there were countless soldiers from both sides churning and calling for help.

    Without Fatty Lu's unethical tactics of suicide boats, it is really uncertain who will win and who will lose in this decisive battle between the Wu Jun Navy and the Qing Army Navy, and the Qing Army Navy will definitely have a greater chance of winning, but it is  Because of Fatty Lu's unscrupulous tactics, the navy sailors of the Qing army who experienced this poisonous tactic for the first time were inevitably caught off guard.  Even Yang Jie, the navy commander of the Qing army, who was regarded by both the old traitor Wu and Fatty Lu as the biggest stumbling block in the Wu army's battle of crossing the river, inevitably felt caught off guard after receiving the tactical warning of the Wu army's suicide ship.  Yang Jie couldn't make up his mind to send the warning to all warships.

    "Should we warn all the warships?" Yang Jie was extremely hesitant, "If a warning is issued to tell all ships to be careful of Wu Gou's suicide sampan, then there will be large and small boats everywhere in the melee, and the sailors will definitely be distracted, even more so.  Shaking morale will be a big disadvantage in the decisive battle. If we don't issue a warning, and wait for Wu Gou's suicide ship to rush into the battlefield, our losses may be even greater!"

    "No, we still have to issue a warning, otherwise it will be too late when Wu Gou's suicide ship rushes into the battlefield and severely damages our main fleet!" After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Yang Jie finally gritted his teeth and shouted: "Send the ship immediately!"  Notify people one by one, warning all boats to beware of Wu Gou's suicide sampan!"

    At the same time, on the south bank of the Yangtze River, Wu Yingjing, who had already prepared the suicide sampan and selected the brave men to die, flew to the old traitor Wu's banner, knelt down on one knee, and asked whether to attack immediately.  The old traitor Wu, who was worried about the stalemate in the main battlefield of the navy, did not hesitate, and immediately shouted: "Attack!"

    "Wait a minute!" Wang Shirong suddenly stood up, cupped his hands at the old traitor Wu, and said, "My lord, our army's suicide ship tactics have already severely injured Man Gou, and now Man Gou's navy must be prepared. If we do the same, I'm afraid it will be difficult  After receiving the miraculous effect, we must change the method.¡±

    "What's the alternative?" Old Traitor Wu asked.

    "Let our death squads wear dog uniforms and put dog flags on board." Wang Shirong said with a smirk: "Break the whole into pieces, and use the islands and smoke to cover up, and sneak into the decisive battle of the navy's main force."

    The old man Wu smiled sinisterly, and said: "Zu Zuo, Ying Jing, let uncle do according to plan."

    Note: The note that was omitted before, Lin Xingzhu, a good friend of Duke Wei in history, took advantage of the opportunity of Du Hui, the leader of Wu Jun's navy, to return to Yuezhou for official business, and led Wu Jun's Dongting Lake Navy to surrender.

 Chapter 246 Breaking Through the Yangtze River

    ?

    The application time is approaching, and the decisive naval battle on the Luoshan battlefield is still going on. The Mite Qingshui Division, which has always occupied the superiority in the number of ships and naval combat power, has unknowingly gained a new advantage-the superiority of soldiers' physical strength!

    The tactics of the Qing army's navy was to use less movement to control more movement, using the best soldiers and large ships, and strive to fight with the Wu army's navy on the side of the ship;  Strong advantages, make up for the weak with spirit, and make up for the weak with speed.

    The two tactics have their own strengths and strengths, and it is indeed difficult to distinguish between the top and bottom in a short period of time, but as time goes on, with the exhaustion of the oarsmen's physical strength, the weakness of Wu Jun's warships with less troops will gradually become weaker.  It was exposed, almost every soldier was exhausted, and almost every soldier had been sent to the paddling position with the most physical exertion several times in turn.  It also slowed down - and the warships of the Wu Army have been running around and fighting, and the physical exertion of the soldiers is naturally even greater.

    On the contrary, after a long period of time, the cumbersome but large-capacity warships of the Qing army gradually revealed the advantage that the soldiers had less exercise and had time to rest and recover their physical strength. Even the most cumbersome and slow warships  The sand boat has also gradually caught up with Wu Jun's light and flexible medium-sized warship in speed, and has gradually narrowed the distance from Wu Jun's warship.

    "Son Du Hui, you are a pirate who was born in naval warfare." Seeing the speed of the warships of the self army gradually catching up with the speed of the warships of the Wu army, Yang Jie couldn't help showing a grin on his handsome face, and murmured: "  So you have forgotten that river warfare is not as good as surface warfare. On the surface of the sea, as long as the wind and current are suitable, the boat is small and flexible, and there is a lot of room for maneuvering. The sailors have time to take advantage of the wind to rest.  You can't win, and you will never lose! But in the narrow river battlefield, hehe, your ships rely on manpower to paddle quickly, and I want to see how long your navy recruits can last!"

    "Yang Jie, you are lucky." Du Hui, who also discovered this situation, also smiled wryly, and sighed secretly: "If I can have twenty more warships, even ten more, or I  If the sailors have more experience and experience, they can destroy more warships full of dogs when they have enough physical strength before. In this battle, it is not a dream to win the battle with the weak. But, hehe, the success is on the verge of failure, and the victory is near failure."

    "Flag!" After observing the battlefield situation for a long time, Yang Jie stood up and ordered: "All the ships move closer to the flagship, give up the outer water surface to Wu Dog, and let Wu Dog play for a while until they are exhausted.  It¡¯s not too late to clean them up!¡±

    The flag was played, and the well-trained ships of the Qing army began to converge on the flagship, compressing the space for the Wu army's warships to move inside the battlefield, and giving up the relatively wide outer water surface to the Wu army.  Seeing this scene, although Du Hui immediately understood Yang Jie's sinister intention to consume the soldiers' physical strength faster, but because of the small number of ships and weak soldiers, and the lack of collision resistance, the heavy warships could only order  The ships continued to roam and fight on the periphery, taking the opportunity to think hard about the strategy to defeat the enemy.

    "Boom!" At this moment, there was an earth-shattering loud noise in the Qing army fleet. A Qing army sand-crushing boat swayed violently. Flames burst out from the side of the ship, blasting a hole more than three feet high, and the river surged into the cabin.  Tilting quickly, the Qing soldiers on the ship didn't even have time to react and adjust, they were already screaming and rolling into the water, causing the Qing fleet to be in chaos.

    "When did Wu Gou's suicide boat sneak in?" Yang Jie jumped up in shock, and quickly shouted: "Send the order quickly, be careful of Wugou's sampan boats, all the Wugou boats in the middle of the fleet are sunk!  "

    "Boom!" Another loud noise sounded from under the bow of Yang Jie's flagship, and the bow jumped up like an electric shock. Yang Jie seemed to be pushed violently, and suddenly staggered and fell on his back. Fortunately, the soldiers rushed to help him  Stopped, but before Yang Jie and the others stood still, the bow of the flagship had already hit the river again, and the huge inertia brought Yang Jie and the soldiers to dive forward together, and they all fell to the ground.

    "Junmen, Junmen!" Several Qing soldiers rushed forward, trying to support Yang Jie, but Yang Jie ignored his chin and scratched a large piece of oily skin on the deck, and just yelled frantically: "Send the order quickly!"  , order to sink all Wugou sampans! Sink all Wugou sampans!"

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Although all the Wu army's sampans and small boats on the battlefield were taken care of by the Qing army's warships, the sound of terrifying and violent explosions still sounded one after another in the Qing army's fleet.  The ships were damaged and destroyed at the same time, and the soldiers and generals of the Qing army on these warships were also very puzzled. There were obviously no Wu army ships around us, so why were our warships blown up for no reason?

    "It was our own boat that blew it up!" Finally a Qing soldier saw the situation clearly and shouted, "I saw it, it was our sampan that blew it up.The governor replied impassionedly: "But as a minister of the Qing Dynasty, the slave naturally swore to live and die with Hanyang. Even if it is the last soldier, as long as the slave is still alive, Wu Gou will never want to step into Hanyang City."  step!"

    "Then what should I do?" Chang Ning almost didn't growl, and said with a mournful face: "What about the king? Will Wu Gou spare the king?"

    "This" Cai Yurong originally wanted to say that you can also commit suicide to die for your country, but after thinking about it, Cai Yurong changed his mind and said: "Then, Lord Gong, what do you think the servant should do?"

    "Let's break through." Chang Ning couldn't wait to say: "I asked just now, Wu Gou didn't arrange troops at the north gate, we have time to break through from the north gate now."

    "My lord, I dare not issue this order." Cai Yurong quickly shook his head and said, "Although the force in the hands of this slave is less than 30% of Wu Gou's, Wu Gou has already demolished half of the city wall at the west gate of Hanyang, and it is only time to break through Hanyang.  The problem, but the slave is entrusted by the emperor and entrusted by the master, so he can only live and die with Hanyang City.  Long live the emperor has explained."

    "Let me explain for you!" Prince Gong stomped his feet and said, "Governor Cai, thanks to you being an experienced military officer, why don't you even understand the principle of not sticking to the gains and losses of one city and one place? You are the only one in the middle of Huguang now.  With an army, if all of them are lost in Hanyang City, what can be used to stop Wu Gou's army from going north?"

    "This" Governor Cai pondered hypocritically, "Of course the prince's words are the best and most reasonable, but what about the master"

    "I've already said it, I'll explain it for you!" Chang Ning stomped his feet even more, and said anxiously: "Don't you even believe what I say? Do you want me to write a memorial for you in front of you? It means that you are  I gave up Hanyang to protect me from breaking through, and I will bear all the blame! I don¡¯t believe it, the third brother would want my younger brother to be like Jie Shu and Le Erjin, who was captured by Wu Dog and cut off his fingers, and even doubled.  I can't even lift the chopsticks!"

    "It's fine to have your words." Cai Yurong was happy in his heart, but said with hesitation on his face: "Of course the prince is right, but"

    "I knew that you were afraid of taking on this responsibility!" Chang Ning yelled helplessly: "Bring a pen and paper, and I will give Cai Butang ink to prove that the order to retreat was given by me."

    As he said that, Prince Gong actually wrote a handwritten warrant to Cai Yurong, ordering Cai Yurong to give up the Hanyang guards to break through by himself, and then forced it into Cai Yurong's hands. After receiving this warrant, Cai Yurong was completely relieved.  It was urgent, and the Qing army's retreat and destruction of the city was a foregone conclusion. Cai Yurong quickly issued an order, "Come here, gather all the troops, and escort Prince Gong to break through to the North City, and go to the upper reaches of the Han River to find a ferry to cross the river."

    After a while, Cai Yurong hastily assembled the last 2,000-odd troops, surrounded by Chang Ning and broke through to the north gate regardless of the self-armed soldiers who were still fighting hard on the west gate wall.  When the news spread to Ximen, the defenders of the Qing army at Ximen yelled and threw down their weapons and surrendered to the Wu army.  The things were returned to their original owners, and a little bit fell into the hands of Wu Jun.

    Cai Yurong's army, who successfully broke through the siege, was not happy for long. Their team hadn't escaped thirty miles north along the Han River before they were ambushed by Wu Yingqi's cavalry who had been waiting here for a long time. After a fierce battle, their morale completely collapsed.  The 3,000 Qing army was wiped out, nearly half of them were wiped out, and the rest all surrendered. Cai Yurong, his eldest son Cai Lin, and his second son Cai Xun escaped from the Han River by swimming with logs in their arms. Cai Ji and other three sons died tragically in the chaos.  In the middle, he was trampled into meat paste by Wu Jun's cavalry.

    As for our Prince Gong, because his status was too noble, he was always stared at by Wu Jun, and he didn't have the courage to dive into the water to escape. In the end, he still held the thought that losing his fingers is better than losing his head, and surrendered to Wu Jun, which became the battle of Wu Jun crossing the river.  The most important prisoner captured in the war, Chang Ning's deputy Hubu servant Dadu also surrendered helplessly, and was captured by the Wu army together with Chang Ning.

    So far, the Wu army's sudden campaign of crossing the river ended in a complete victory. The Qing army's defense line from Dongting Lake to Hanyang was completely broken by the Wu army. The main force of the navy was almost wiped out. The infantry and cavalry suffered heavy losses.  Fleeing to Jingzhou, Huangzhou, Jiujiang and other places to survive, Hanyang, an important town on the Yangtze River, fell and became the advance base of Wu Jun's Northern Expedition.  The prefectural capitals in northern Huguang, Henan, Anhui, and Shaanxi in Mite Qing are like beauties stripped of their clothes, completely exposed to the insatiable pervert in Pingxi Palace!  In the land of the Central Plains, Mite Qing is already there, and there is no danger to defend!  (To be continued.

 Chapter 247 Extreme Joy Begets Sadness

    ?

    The day of October 27th in the twelfth year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty was undoubtedly the most elated day for Kang Mazi, the supreme chief of the Qing Dynasty, who had been in a state of distress for a long time.  General Anbei of the Qing Packing Army consulted Zhou Peigong Zhou Daotai, and personally brought the heads of the thief king Burni and his younger brother Luo Buzang who dared to rebel and returned to the capital to report victory to Kang Mazi!

    As for why Zhou Peigong, deputy commander of the Baoyi Army, had to personally send the heads of the Burni brothers back to Beijing?  This is not entirely because our Zhou Peigong, the handsome guy, wanted to show his face and ask for credit. The main reason is that this time the Burni rebellion was quickly quelled.  Existence, the Burni Rebellion is absolutely impossible to quell so quickly!

    In the Battle of Dalu, the Burni brothers escaped the misfortune of annihilation by chance, leading the nose of the Packed Army to escape to the depths of the boundless grassland desert. In view of the sparsely populated grassland terrain and the high mobility of the Mongolian cavalry  The entire Qing court, including Kang Mazi, believed that this counter-insurgency war would be protracted and would not end in half a year.

    Heroes come out in troubled times, and when there is a crisis, Zhou Peigong will naturally have the opportunity to show his strength. With the Burni rebels constantly fleeing and difficult to encircle, Zhou Peigong decisively suggested that Tong Guogang stop the pursuit of the Baoyi Army and stop and rest in the area of ????Sira Chahan Lake  , and let the treacherous army attack Chahanhot, the old nest of the Burni brothers, so that Burni fell into a dilemma where the brothers either completely abandoned the old nest or returned to the old nest.  It was the relationship between Horqin and Shuo's younger sister Shajin who sent Shajin to the Burni army to surrender, promising that as long as the Burni brothers led the army to surrender, then Tong Guogang, Zhou Peigong and others could protect them from death in front of Kang Mazi.

    Just like in history, the Burni brothers are indeed a pair of idiot brothers with great ambitions and talents. Seeing Shajin's surrender, they were moved to surrender, but they did not dare to agree immediately because of Kang Mazi's cruelty.  After surrendering, Zhou Peigong took advantage of the opportunity that the Burni brothers stopped fleeing and relaxed their vigilance during the negotiations, and suddenly dispatched elite cavalry into the Burni brothers' camp, killed the Burni brothers, defeated the Burni rebels and recruited most of the rest, and obtained  decisive victory in this counter-insurgency war.

    Although the methods are not glorious enough, a victory is a victory. For the Qing court, which has been accustomed to consecutive defeats for more than two years, this victory not only solved the threat from behind, it was also a one-shot.  The heart booster is truly a timely rain of life-saving ¡ª¡ª besides, compared with Fatty Lu's vicious methods, such methods are already very aboveboard.  So after receiving Zhou Peigong's victory report, Kang Mazi was still ashamed and delighted, and immediately ordered to reward the three armies, and added officials and ranks to meritorious ministers such as his uncle Tong Guogang and Zhou Peigong.  Kang Mazi pardoned his previous crimes and was promoted to a higher rank.

    Misfortunes never come singly yesterday, and good fortune is here today. Just as Kang Mazi was thinking about how to publicize and exaggerate the great victory in the grassland to boost morale, at noon on the same day, Zhejiang sent another good news.  Man Jingui, the Shaoxing defender, and Xu Hongxun, the prefect of Shaoxing, took the opportunity to set up an ambush on Guimen Mountain, Changling, Shengxian County, ambushed Geng Jingzhong's rebels, and beheaded them.  More than 1,700 people captured 14 Geng army generals Ma Ruizhi, Qiu Erzhang, and Ma Yu alive, forcing the remnants of the Geng army to return to Taizhou.  The southeast Qing army's first big victory!

    Both the Mongolian battlefield and the southeast battlefield won great victories at the same time. Kang Mazi, who had been in fear for a long time, was so ecstatic that he could hardly express it in words. In addition to rewarding Man Jingui, Xu Hongxun and other meritorious ministers on the spot, Kang Mazi  He also ordered a banquet to be held in Tiren Pavilion to feast all the officials and celebrate these two great victories with all civil and military officials.

    At you in the afternoon, the celebration banquet was officially held. Kang Mazi led all the civil and military officials to the table. The great hero Zhou Peigong sat at the first table, and sat with Kang Mazi's confidants such as Suo'etu and Mingzhu.  Arranged by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they each took their seats, followed by congratulations from all the officials, who sang their praises and flattered them, praising that the two victories were achieved under the leadership of Kang Mazi's Wei Guangzheng and under the blessing of Kang Mazi.  Tired of hearing similar words, but today because I am in a good mood, I suddenly feel like I can't get tired of hearing them again and again. I can shake my head, my pockmarked face is full of smiles, and I am full of will.

    After finally waiting for Zhang Ying to lead a group of civil officials to finish reading "Longevity Without Boundaries", Kang Mazi waved his hand to stop the flattery of the next batch of officials, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Everyone around was crying, and it was only at this time that Kang Mazi realized that he had returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Suo'etu, Mingzhu, Zhang Ying and other close confidants were kneeling by the door, but he didn't know why Zhou Peigong followed in.  , and Zhou Peigong saw Kang Mazi's small eyes turned to him, he immediately understood the reason, and hurriedly kowtowed to Xiaozhuang: "Old ancestor, the emperor has woken up, and this humble minister should also retire."

    "You stay, you know medicine, you can't go." Xiaozhuang hurriedly stopped him, then turned to Kang Mazi and said, "Grandson, you should reward Zhou Peigong well. Just now you passed out in Tiren Pavilion, and a mouthful of phlegm blocked your throat.  Thanks to Zhou Peigong, who asked the court lady to suck the phlegm out of your throat with her mouth, she pulled you back from the gate of hell. Seeing that he knows medicine, the Ai family took him as well.  Called to this Hall of Mental Cultivation."

    ¡ª¡ªXiao Zhuang did not tell the truth. It is true that Zhou Peigong asked the maid to suck the sputum just now, but the palace lady's lung capacity is too small to suck the sputum. In the end, Zhou Peigong took the initiative to save Kang Mazi's life, but it was too much  It's indecent, it's just that Xiao Zhuang can't explain it to Kang Mazi.

    "Zhou Aiqing, I'm sorry." Kang Mazi nodded slightly, then gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Aiqing, don't go anywhere else, just stay in the capital, and I'm going to lead an army of 100,000 to fight to the death with the old thief Wu Sangui!  You stay by my side, drive with the king, and follow me to conquer the old thief Wu Sangui!"

    "Master, no!" Mingzhu, Suo'etu and others were frightened out of their wits, and hurriedly kowtowed together and said, "Master, you must not go on a personal conquest! The capital is an important place, master must not stay away!"

    "Shut up!" Kang Mazi yelled angrily while lying on the bed, "The old thief Wu Sangui shamelessly breached his promise and broke through my defense line on the Yangtze River. My Central Plains is no longer safe to defend. If I don't go out in person again, do I have to wait until the old thief Wu Sangui hits the capital?  At the door, will I commit suicide like Chongzhen Meishan again? I have made up my mind, so there is no need to say more!"

    "Grandson, don't be so impulsive." Xiaozhuang said, first ordered all the imperial doctors to kneel in the hall, and then said kindly: "Your Majesty, you plan to personally conquer the old thief Wu Sangui.  If necessary, the emperor only needs to send a capable general to drive the old thief Wu Sangui back to the south of the Yangtze River, it is not hopeless, and there is no need for you, the emperor, to send troops yourself."

    "Grandmother, besides myself, who else can I send my grandson?" Kang Mazi sobbed, "Jieshu, Yue Le, Leerjin, Tuhai, Labu, it's gratifying.  The one who didn't lose his army in front of the old thief Wu Sangui, didn't he return in a disastrous defeat? Now besides myself, who else can I entrust with the heavy responsibility to stop the old thief Wu Sangui's rebellious army?"

    "Master, in fact, this slave thinks that master should not be so pessimistic." Zhou Peigong said surprisingly, kowtowed and said: "Because this slave believes that, judging from the current situation, even if the old thief Wu Sangui breaks through the Yangtze River defense line, it will be difficult to launch the Northern Expedition in a short time.  , the master still has time to dispatch troops to prepare for the battle, as long as the master manages properly, it is not hopeless to drive the old thief Wu Sangui back to Pianyuan."

    "Why do you think so?" Kang Mazi asked nervously.

    "There are two reasons. One is that Jingzhou and Jiangxi are still in the hands of the master." Zhou Peigong said loudly: "Jingzhou is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.  Nail, the old thief Wu Sangui would never dare to make the main northern expedition! Jiangxi is directly bordered to the east of Pianyuan. If our Jiangxi army of the Qing Dynasty is not wiped out, the rear of the old thief Wu Sangui will always be threatened by our Jiangxi army. The old thief Wu Sangui also dare not go all out for the northern expedition  .¡±

    "Secondly, our main force in the Qing Dynasty was not seriously injured, and our strength still exists. I am bold. I have read the report in Tutang just now, and know that although Wu Dog broke through the Yangtze River in the Battle of the Yangtze River, our 30,000 army of the Qing Dynasty only lost 10,000.  There are many people, and the navy is still alive. At the same time, Tutang has returned to Jingzhou to consolidate Jingzhou's defense. The navy has also withdrawn to Jiujiang to meet with Governor Dong Weiguo to consolidate Jiangxi's defense.  The army has not lost a single soldier, so as long as the master orders Lord Kang to return to the army in time, there is great hope to block the Yangtze River again!"

    "That's why the slave thinks that the master can issue three imperial decrees. The first is to Jingzhou, ordering the garrison there to defend the city and block the way for Sichuan Wuni and Pianyuan Wuni to join forces! The second imperial decree is to Jiangxi, ordering the Jiangxi army  Defend Jiujiang Poyang Lake, block Wugou's eastward route, and ensure Jiangnan's financial and taxation center! The third imperial decree was given to Prince Kang, asking him to divide his troops and return to the division. One army guards Luzhou Lu'an, and the other consolidates the defense of Anqing.  Wu Sangui's idea of ??going north by luck, forced him to capture Jingzhou and Jiangxi, and won at least three months for our Qing Dynasty to prepare for the war!"

    "Then what if Wu Gou goes directly north to Henan? What should we do?" Kang Mazi asked doubtfully.

    "Master, please rest assured." Zhou Peigong said in a dark voice: "If Wu Dog dares to go north directly to Henan, the slaves only need three thousand old and weak soldiers to stop his army of one hundred thousand or one million!"

    "I don't want to hear your bragging, how can you stop it?" Kang Mazi asked angrily.

    "Master, I don't know if you know that there is a place in Henan called Cunjin Dike?" Zhou Peigong said in a dark tone: "During the Southern Song Dynasty, our Mongolian allies of the Qing Dynasty used this place to block the Han barbarians' army going north.  "(To be continued.

    "I don't want to hear your bragging, how can you stop it?" Kang Mazi asked angrily.

    "Master, I don't know if you know that there is a place in Henan called Cunjin Dike?"

 Chapter 248 Returning to Yuezhou

    ?

    On the same day that Kang Mazi vomited blood and passed out, after initially consolidating his control over Xinzhancheng, Lu Fatzi and Wu Yingqi left Wang Jing, Wang Xu and Liu Zhifu as guards.  In the two cities of Hanyang and Wuchang, the even more unlucky Prince Gong Changning was escorted, and a large group of entourage and lackeys were led to take water from Wuchang to the important town of Yuezhou by the Dongting Lake, to participate in the Wu army meeting hosted by the old traitor Wu personally¡ª¡ª  The only thing that can make Wu Yingqi and Fatty Lu throw the newly occupied land to their deputy to leave without authorization is the order issued by the traitor Wu himself.

    Fortunately, Wu Yingqi and Fatty Lu, the two unlucky fellows, also had troubled brothers, who were also called to Yuezhou to attend the meeting by old man Wu, as well as the father and son of Fang Guangchen, governor of Wu Junyuanyuan, and Wu Guogui, one of Fatty Lu's father-in-law, and his father.  There are many important generals of the Wu army in the south of Pianyuan.  The purpose of this meeting held by the old traitor Wu is also very simple, to discuss and decide the next strategic offensive direction of the Wu army after successfully crossing the river, as well as the next political direction of the Pingxi Palace¡ªthat is, whether to continue to call itself Qingqing  Ministers, should we still play the banner of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, or should we simply let the old traitor Wu stand on his own as the emperor, and compete with Kang Xiaomazi for the world with a clear-cut stand?

    I really can't blame the old traitor Wu for making such a big deal, and waiting for the Yangtze River to decide such a major event. The precious time of the Northern Expedition was wasted. The key is that Wu Jun's internal affairs and military affairs were too tense some time ago.  It's not a sure thing, Wu Jun's manpower and material resources are all concentrated in the preparations for launching the cross-river battle. Although the old traitor Wu has considered holding a meeting to discuss this matter, but because his cronies and lackeys are scattered all over the place, it is impossible to gather together to discuss and finalize these two plans.  It is a big event, so it has been delayed until now.

    Fortunately, the troops of the Qing army around the Wu army were either transferred or severely injured. It is still difficult for the remaining forces to protect themselves, let alone pose a fatal threat to the various departments of the Wu army in a short period of time.  Old Traitor Wu naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to finalize these two more crucial strategies.

    "Yifeng, you are clever, tell your uncle." When the warship was about to dock at Yuezhou Wharf, Wu Yingqi stood on the bow and asked Fatty Lu beside him with joy, "What do you think of this meeting?"  , Your grandfather, my father, is planning to raise the banner of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty? Or directly proclaim the emperor and make me the crown prince?"

    "Hush, uncle, please keep your voice down." Fatty Lu quickly made a silent gesture, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, it's not that your nephew and son-in-law are disobeying you, but you have to be humble in some things.  You must be humble, let alone shouting. You must follow the example of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors who accepted Zen and gave three speeches, so as to silence the mouth of the world, otherwise, the people of the world will laugh at you, Uncle, because you are greedy for the throne, and you have no city."

    Fatty Lu's words really exposed his ignorant nature-is it a matter of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to resign three times after receiving Zen?  But Wu Yingqi couldn't hear it, he just looked around nervously, and then lowered his voice and said, "My nephew and son-in-law are right. Uncle is a little anxious. If uncle makes such a mistake again in the future, you will be better off, son-in-law."  Remonstrance. Also, you haven't answered the question that uncle asked you just now. "

    Fatty Lu was a little hesitant. Originally, to the ambitious Fatty Lu, it didn't matter whether the old traitor Wu was playing the banner of Fuming or the banner of proclaiming the emperor.  .  But the problem is that this banner issue involves two more important issues, one is the support of the Han people all over the world for the old traitor Wu, and the other is whether it can cater to the old traitor Wu's mind and shoot the old traitor Wu again  Flattery, in the next step of Wu Jun's marching strategy, he will get the opportunity to lead the army independently.

    One side is the hearts of the people in the world, and the other side is the personal selfishness of the traitor Wu. Even in front of Wu Yingqi, his benefactor who personally promoted him, Fatty Lu dared not express his attitude easily.  Of course, I want my grandfather to be the emperor and make you the crown prince. But now my nephew is worried that my grandfather wants to learn from Ming Taizu, Zhou Wenwang and Tang Gaozu.  Let¡¯s consider the issue of proclaiming the emperor in the overall situation, so my nephew and son-in-law really don¡¯t dare to speculate on grandfather¡¯s thoughts, and can¡¯t provide reference for you, uncle.¡±

    "Really? You can't guess it?" Wu Yingqi looked a little disappointed.

    "I really can't figure it out." Fatty Lu shook his head, and said in a low voice: "But don't worry, uncle, no matter whether grandfather proclaims emperor directly or temporarily, when the overall situation is settled, it will be a matter of course for grandfather to proclaim emperor.  At that time, even if grandfather does not proclaim himself emperor, nephew and son-in-law will also learn from Shi Shouxin, and pull our civil servants and generals of Pingxi Palace to forcefully put the emperor's dragon robe on grandfather, and put the crown prince's Pinglong robe on uncle you!"

    "Then it's settled!" Wu Yingqi was overjoyed, and patted Fatty Lu on the shoulder., with a melon-seeded face and willow-leaf eyebrows, smooth skin, bright eyes and white teeth, and she is extraordinary, she is her fianc¨¦e whom she rarely sees¡ª¡ªEight-faced Guanyin Wu Xiaotu!

    "Little Tu, why have you come to Yuezhou?" Fatty Lu couldn't help but blurted out in surprise.

    "It was my grandfather who sent me a letter asking me to come to Yuezhou with Mr. Maoxia." Wu Xiaotu, who was in his early twenties after not seeing him for many years, was still so dignified and polite, but when explaining the reason for coming to Yuezhou, Wu Xiaotu was far more respectful than Fang Yuer.  Her pretty face turned red, and she whispered shyly: "Grandpa said in the letter that I will be twenty-one soon, if I don't, it will be too late."

    "If you don't hurry up and marry me, you will be too old, right?" Fatty Lu was elated, and finished speaking for Wu Xiaotu in his heart.  But at this moment, Fatty Lu suddenly felt a sharp pain in the fat around his waist, and when he turned his head to look again, he saw that Rong Yu'er had stopped crying at some point, and was staring at him viciously with his willow eyebrows raised.

 Chapter 249: The Identity of an Old Friend

    ?

    The third wife met the second wife at the mourning hall of the third wife's father, and the third wife who was in grief suddenly found that the second wife was so beautiful, the second wife compared the third wife, the second wife was a vixen, and the third wife turned out to be a yellow-faced woman.  Come on, Fatty Lu, whose private life is corrupt and dissolute, will naturally be in bad luck. The beautiful third wife who has just lost his father is watching him, and the more beautiful second wife who is about to be promoted to his wife is watching with a soft smile. Which one should he curry favor with?  One, Fatty Lu really doesn't know.

    Fortunately, Fatty Lu's fate is good. Wu Xiaotu, who looks like a vixen and is almost destined to be promoted to the main house, has a good temper. He is definitely not comparable to jealous jars like Shang Wanyi and Line Yuxuan.  Even though Yu'er has an unclear relationship and Line Yu'er has shown obvious hostility, Wu Xiaotu still shows no signs of anger, let alone jealousy, and just salutes Line Yu'er lightly, saying softly:  Sister Yuer, younger sister Wu Xiaotu, send my best regards to my elder sister. My younger sister already knows about Uncle Yu's affairs, so I ask Sister Yu'er to be sympathetic and obedient, and don't cry out of grief because of grief.  Zai Tianzhiling is sad, Xiaotu and Brother Lu will be even more sad."

    "He will be sad? Why can't I see it?" Yan Yu'er quietly pinched Fatty Lu's back fat, looked Wu Xiaotu up and down full of jealousy, and added sourly in her heart, "It really is a vixen!"

    "Of course Brother Lu will be sad." Wu Xiaotu said rather shyly: "Sister Yu'er, haven't you discovered that since you returned to Yuezhou, Brother Lu has been by your side, always taking care of you, always  I'm welcoming you and paying homage to the guests, if Big Brother Lu didn't care about you and love you, would he do this?"

    Line Yu'er gave Fatty Lu a vicious look, then turned to Wu Xiaotu and snorted, "This is what he should do, but you, who are you?"

    "II" Facing Ling Yu'er's knowing question, Wu Xiaotu blushed even more, and after a while he said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's snoring: "I am Brother Lu, I haven't haven't been through the door  's wife, Sister Yu'er, I already know about you and Brother Lu, thank you, if it weren't for you, I might never see Brother Lu again."

    "You don't mind?" Line Yuer asked a little nervously and a little surprised.

    "I don't mind at all, that's a lie." Wu Xiaotu's pretty face turned red almost to the base of her neck, and said in a low voice: "But I'm also happy for Brother Lu, he can have a confidante like you, that's his  Blessing is also my blessing. At the very least, when Xiaotu is not with Brother Lu in the future, Xiaotu Xiaotu doesn't have to worry about Brother Lu's daily life Even if Xiaotu is not around, Brother Lu can still eat on time  It¡¯s cold and I¡¯m full, dress warmly¡­¡±

    Yu'er was dumbfounded, and suddenly felt ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. Fatty Lu next to him smiled wryly and said, "Yu'er, did you see that? Don't talk about you, it's that tigress of Wanyi who is here.  I can't get angry in front of Xiao Tu, so learn from it."

    "Fatty man!" Rong Yu'er finally caught a chance to vent, and twisted Fatty Lu's fat back hard, the pain made Fatty Lu grin his teeth, and he almost didn't scream out.  Wu Xiaotu showed no signs of anger, but said very gently: "Sister Yu'er, Brother Lu, if you don't mind, Xiaotu has already obtained father's permission, and wants to watch uncle Line with you tonight and express our condolences."

    "Okay, then there's Sister Lao Xiaotu." Since he got engaged to Wu Xiaotu, the number of times Fatty Lu and Wu Xiaotu have met is not enough to count the fingers of one hand. It would be a lie to say that he doesn't miss him, and he can spend with Wu Xiaotu tonight  For one night, Fatty Lu naturally wished for it.

    "Fatty!" Seeing Fatty Lu's impatient look, Yu'er couldn't help being jealous, but since Wu Xiaotu had offered to guard the spirit of Rong Guoan, he couldn't refuse because of reason and reason.  He could quickly call Wu Xiaotu to sit aside, and asked the maid to serve Wu Xiaotu tea and snacks, but Wu Xiaotu was very polite first offering incense to Long Guoan, then respectfully kowtowed three times, and then asked the personal maid to bring white plain flowers  Wearing it on the head, finally sat down to accompany Fatty Lu and Rong Yu'er to guard the spirit of Rong Guoan.

    With the help of Wu Xiaotu, who has a temper like a ball of soft yeast noodles, Fatty Lu is really relieved a lot¡ªat least when Yu'er cries again, someone can gently help and comfort her.  It was also at this time that Fatty Lu knew the latest situation of his son Lu Bangjing. After Lu Bangjing was snatched back from Sicheng Wharf by Wan Yuer before, he was taken care of by Wu Xiaotu after he was sent back to Kunming. When Wu Xiaotu left Kunming, he took Lu Bangjing  Entrusted to Hu Guozhu's wife, she lived a carefree life.

    "Should I find an opportunity to mention my son to Old Man Wu and ask him to bring my son to the front line for a meeting??Recognizing Chen Dou's identity but refusing to do harm, I'm afraid it's also a good deed discovered by old man Wu's treacherous conscience.

    "Master Lu, if there is nothing else, then Chen Dou will leave." Seeing that Fatty Lu had nothing to say, Chen Dou offered to leave again.

    "Senior" Fatty Lu's voice was choked with sobs, but when the words came to his lips, Fatty Lu's heart suddenly moved again, and he hurriedly said: "Senior, wait a minute, this junior suddenly remembered something, and entrusting senior to do it is the most appropriate!"

    "Master Lu, please tell me, Chen Dou will do his best." Chen Dou agreed generously.

    "Senior, this junior would like to invite you to meet the prince again." Fatty Lu said in a low voice, "Please do your best to persuade the prince not to rush to become emperor, but to learn from Zhou Wenwang, Li Yuan and Zhu Yuanzhang.  It will not be too late to proclaim the emperor. At that time, with the country and the army in hand, it will be easy to proclaim the emperor again. Don't rush for a while, not only will you lose popular popularity, but you will also be the laughingstock of the ages."

    "In that case, why don't you just go and tell the prince? Why do you want me to go?" Chen Dou asked strangely.

    "Because the words come from the mouth of the senior, the effect is the best." Fatty Lu said in a low voice: "There are three reasons. One is that the senior has a special status, and he is considered to be a person of the same generation as the prince. The words he said carry enough weight. Second,  Senior has resigned from office and went back to seclusion, he has no desires or demands, so the prince will naturally not suspect that senior has selfish intentions, and understands that senior is confiding his heart, so it is easy to accept."

    "The most important thing is the third reason. Except for the old thief Shang Kexi, I am afraid that there is no one who knows more about the injustice of senior father. For the sake of the people's righteousness, Man Gou did not hesitate to turn black and white and frame senior father¡ª  ¡ª¡ªIf the barbarians can have such scheming, why can't the prince follow suit, first occupying the title of righteousness, and then proclaiming the emperor and enthroning after the overall situation is settled?"

    "Okay then." Chen Dou replied: "Anyway, I'm going to leave, and I don't care if it suits the prince's mind and appetite. I will go to see the prince immediately, and urge him to play the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming first, and then plot.  proclaim oneself emperor."

    "Then please." Fatty Lu cupped his hands and emphasized: "Senior, please try your best to make the prince make up his mind in advance, otherwise, you will talk to each other at the meeting, and with our prince's indecisive temper, I am afraid that you want to make a final decision."  This matter will take a lot of time." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

    Or the Spring Festival is approaching, and the big and small things of the pure wolf have begun to increase. This one can be pushed away but not this one.

 Chapter 251

    ?

    (ps: I tried my best to get out a chapter, and I wish all my friends a happy new year, a wealth of wealth and good luck in everything.)

    On October 28th, the twelfth year of Kangmazi in the Qing Dynasty, this was a day that was destined to be cast aside and despised by the coat mites of the Qing Dynasty. It was not exactly at noon that day, and the Yueyang Tower by the Dongting Lake was on the west side of the capital city of Yuanyue Prefecture in the Qing Dynasty.  Now, hundreds of gangsters of the West Bandits gathered here to participate in the Southwest Bandit Conference chaired by the old traitor Wu Sangui, chieftain of the West Bandits.  If the loyal minister and filial son of the Qing court could blow down the Yueyang Tower with one shot, then the Qing Dynasty might really be able to last for thousands of years and the mites reproduce for countless years.

    ?Because there was something to be done at the Ling Guoan Memorial Hall, Fatty Lu, who hurriedly took off his filial piety clothes and changed into official uniforms, was the last one to report to the entrance of the Yueyang Tower venue until the last moment of the meeting.  This kind of thing has to be replaced by someone else, even if you don¡¯t get a military stick, you will never get away with a scolding, but fortunately, as the big red man in front of the old traitor Wu, there is a reason for the incident, so the old traitor Wu who is in charge of guarding the safety of the venue  Not only did Wu Guozhu, the general of the Zinei Mansion, not make things difficult, but he also bowed his head and said, "Master Lu, please come in, the meeting will start soon, and you are the last person left."

    "Thank you, thank you, Uncle Guozhu." Fatty Lu agreed with a nod and bowed his waist, but his heart became more and more worried-if Chen Dou failed to make old traitor Wu make up his mind last night, would old traitor Wu ask everyone to express his opinion after a while to support him?  Emperor, I still support him to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, but I really have no way to answer it.

    Hastily entered the venue of Yueyang Tower, the yard downstairs of Yueyang Tower was already filled with hundreds of wolves, tigers and leopards from Pingxi Wangfu, while old traitor Wu sat directly in the corridor on the second floor of Yueyang Tower, Hu Guozhu stood beside him, condescending together  Looking down at the generals.  Seeing Fatty Lu come in, many generals who have a good relationship with Fatty Lu nodded and greeted him. Wu Yingqi couldn't wait to invite Fatty Lu to sit next to him. Only Hu Guozhu shouted on the second floor: "Yifeng, why are you here now? I almost missed it."  Do you know the time?"

    "Back to uncle, nephew and son-in-law are a little late because of business." Fatty Lu quickly explained, while old traitor Wu waved his hand on the second floor and said: "No need to explain, I know you have a lot of things these days, so it's fine if you don't miss the time.  Sit down."

    "Thank you, grandfather, for your understanding." Fatty Lu cupped his hands to thank him, and sat obediently next to Wu Yingqi. Liu Xuanchu kept winking over there, but Wu Yingqi couldn't wait to pull Fatty Lu's sleeve, and whispered: "I'll see you in a while."  It's yours, remember, you must support my father and become emperor immediately!" Fatty Lu had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree in a low voice.

    "Everyone, gentlemen, please be quiet, I'm about to start." The old traitor Wu reminded him, and when the venue quieted down, the old traitor Wu cleared his throat and raised his voice and said, "Everyone, thanks to everyone's sincerity.  , the courage to do things, but also thanks to the bloody battles of the soldiers in the Southwest, striving to be the first, our Southwest Army finally broke through the Yangtze River and stepped into the Central Plains!"

    "Papapapapapa!" This kind of thing is naturally a good opportunity for Fatty Lu to show off his quick reflexes and good flattery. As soon as the old man Wu's treacherous words fell, Fatty Lu was the first to applaud desperately and shouted loudly, "  This is the prince with great blessings equal to the sky, blessed by blessings! The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

    "My lord is blessed with blessings and blessings! My lord is a thousand years old!" A large group of sycophants from Pingxi Palace hurriedly shouted after Fatty Lu, subconsciously imitating Fatty Lu and applauding desperately, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.  Hearing the applause, this was the first time the old traitor Wu had encountered such a scene, he was both surprised and relieved - the thunderous applause was indeed much more powerful than the dry applause.  The rest of the generals and officials of the Wu army were amazed, and they couldn't help clapping along with them. The applause in the venue was naturally even more enthusiastic. From then on, collective applause became a must-have at the Wu army meeting.

    After finally waiting for the applause to stop, the old traitor Wu said again: "The reason why this king tore up the peace treaty and raided the Mangou Yangtze River, I think you all know the reason.  , and then even more despicably framed the blame on Oboi, trying to use Gu's hand to get rid of the whole family of meritorious officials for him. Fortunately, under the blessing of heaven, Kong Sizhen, the orphan's adopted daughter, found out with her conscience and presented iron evidence to Gu, which exposed the Emperor Mangou's conspiracy.  The despicable face, let the people in the world see clearly the villainous face of Emperor Mangou, and let the old man know who is the enemy and who is the enemy worthy of respect! So Gu decided, above all, for the people of the world, for the people of China, and below for the beloved son of the family  , drive out the Tartars, and restore the Central Plains!"

    "Expel the Tartars and restore the Central Plains!" Fatty Lu was the first to raise his arms and shouted again, "Break through Beijing and capture Kangxi alive! He will be executed by cutting into pieces!"

    "Expel the Tartars and restore the Central Plains! Break through Beijing and capture Kangxi alive! Cut to pieces and executed at the earliest time!" The sycophants of the Pingxi Palace said again?This step is not bad today.  Next, it's time to make it clear that chariots and horses are fighting for the world, and I have to get rid of the control of old traitor Wu as soon as possible, and strive to lead the army independently and build a team.  "

    "However, before that, the old traitor Wu needs a little time to tidy up the interior. He should not immediately go all out for the Northern Expedition. He should first send an army to pull out the nail of the Jingzhou Mangou, open up the connection with the Wangping Fan of Sichuan, and echo the old Wu.  The traitor raised troops in Wang Fuchen, the biggest insider in Mangou, so should I participate in this battle in Jingzhou?"

    "No, I can't go to Jingzhou! Judging from the battle of crossing the river in Wuchang, the old thief Wu Sangui already wanted me to lead the battle independently. If I go to Jingzhou, then I can only develop in the north of Huguang or Sichuan in the future.  The place is not suitable for me to build a rear. If I can¡¯t build my own rear, I will have to work for the old thief Wu Sangui for the rest of my life, so I must not go! This matter must be postponed and let others go!"

    Will Fatty Lu's wishful thinking come true?  To know what happened next, please see the next chapter "Accidental Nail".  (To be continued.

 Chapter 252 The Accidental Nail

    ?

    What is a conference?  The general meeting is the banquet after the meeting!

    This is the case in ancient and modern times, in China and abroad, and it is even more so in the Pingxi Palace, which is full of traitors, rebels, traitors and rebels.  Following this precedent, after the Wu Jun Yuezhou Conference, which decided to fight the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, was over, the old traitor Wu had to order a large banquet to entertain the civil and military generals. Fatty Lu did not dare to refuse, so he had to stay and participate in the meeting.  So, soon, countless torches were quickly lit in the venue downstairs in Yueyang, dozens of square tables were set up, and the well-prepared Pingxi Palace guards also quickly filled up countless wine and dishes, and the banquet began.

    Just like in history, in history, after the old traitor Wu fought against the Qing Dynasty and helped the Ming Dynasty to declare rebellion, most of the wolves, tigers and leopards under the old traitor Wu's command who feared the world would not be chaotic supported them from the bottom of their hearts.  Generals like Wu Guogui, the fat old father-in-law, who don¡¯t want to risk rebellion, only verbally express a certain degree of weakness and opposition, and then they don¡¯t hesitate to devote themselves to the great cause of anti-Qing, until they died on the battlefield and remained unswerving. Only a few lackeys  Cowardly and rebellious, fleeing from the anti-Qing forces-and they are all innocuous kittens and puppies.

    It is precisely for this reason, and the current situation of the Wu army is far better than the situation when it raised troops in history-in history, it was really a desperate corner of the enemy's country, but now the Qing army has lost all its elite, and the Wu army broke through the Yangtze River  Grasp the strategic initiative.  So generally speaking, the atmosphere of the banquet celebrating the rebellion was lively and harmonious. Not only did no one disturb the scene, the slogans of attacking Beijing and capturing Kang Mazi alive kept coming and going, and every time they said it, it aroused applause.  He even won the loud support of countless people, as if he was not loyal enough to the old traitor Wu if he didn't follow up with a few words to kill Kang Mazi and his whole family and fuck Kang Mazi's mother.

    It was probably infected by the warm atmosphere, maybe it was the spread of optimism, or it was more likely that they were loyal and cute. In short, there were more than a dozen generals of the Wu army who couldn't wait to come to the old Wu traitor and volunteered to lead the army.  Jiangnan, act as the vanguard for the main northern expedition of the Wu army!  It's a pity that besides drinking and eating meat, the old traitor Wu just laughed and said nothing. He was always noncommittal about the scrambling of Wu Jun's generals, and he never even said a word about when the Northern Expedition was.

    It¡¯s really not that the old traitor Wu¡¯s strategy is conservative and his tactics are rigid. The key is that Wu¡¯s army is not Li Zicheng¡¯s invading army or Zhang Xianzhong¡¯s rogue army.  How much, Wu Jun is not only a tiger-wolf division with political opinions and political ambitions, but also has its own territory and rear, especially now that Wu Jun has gradually begun to develop towards the goal of all firearms arms, and its dependence on rear supplies is increasing.  Even the traitor Wu, who is experienced in military affairs, will not launch a gambling northern expedition with all his eggs in one basket.

    "Old Taishan, my son-in-law is not talented." Xia Guoxiang, the traitorous second son-in-law of the old man Wu, who was brutally deprived of his power because of accepting bribes from Xiong Ci, couldn't wait any longer.  , Bowing and bowing again, he desperately asked for a fight: "My son-in-law has the courage to ask Lao Taishan to allocate 30,000 troops to my son-in-law. Taking advantage of the emptiness of troops in the Central Plains, take Anhui Road or Henan Road to the north, and serve Lao Taishan.  Go straight to Huanglong, capture the Emperor Mangou alive and offer it under the tent, hoping for the favor of my father-in-law."

    "I am very pleased that my son-in-law has such great ambitions." The traitor Wu finally spoke, and said with a smile, "However, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains is not a trivial matter. It must be discussed slowly and carefully considered."

    "Father-in-law, don't miss this opportunity, never again." Xia Guoxiang said anxiously: "Now the remaining elite main forces of Mangou are either in the south of the Yangtze River or in Shaanxi and Gansu. There are only a few places in the Central Plains guarded by green camps, and there is no city or place that can stop our army.  The iron hoof is our army's golden opportunity for the Northern Expedition, if we don't seize this opportunity quickly, when Mangou recovers from this and re-arranges heavy defenses in the Central Plains, the difficulty of the Northern Expedition will be extraordinary."

    "My virtuous son-in-law's words are quite reasonable." The old man Wu smiled treacherously, then shook his head and said, "But the time is not yet ripe. The matter of the Northern Expedition has to be carefully discussed by this king with Mr. Xianyan and Mr. Maoxia."

    Xia Guoxiang was also eager to make meritorious deeds and atone for his crimes, and asked again: "Lao Taishan, why is the time immature now? Is it immature there? My son-in-law doesn't understand. What else is there to stop our cavalry in the Central Plains?"

    The old traitor Wu stretched his face, and his face gradually showed anger. Fatty Lu next to him saw that the situation was not good, he hurriedly stepped forward to hold Xia Guoxiang, and said with a smile: "Second uncle, it is a good thing that you want to do meritorious service for grandfather, but you also  You have to think about your grandfather, and your grandfather also loves you and worries about you, so he is not in a hurry to agree to your request."

    "Then what is it for?" Xia Guoxiang turned to Fatty Lu and asked.

    "There are many reasons, but the first key is that the nail in Jingzhou has not yetJingzhou was defeated. Three times in five days, the city was repelled by Mangou, and more than 3,000 soldiers were lost.  In addition, our naval division Lin Xingzhu's division and the Guogui brother's crossing army were also defeated on the Yangtze River. Xu Zhi, the commander of the Yiling Navy who was full of dogs, took advantage of the opportunity of our army Wu Guogui's division to cross the river, and suddenly launched a surprise attack.  Nine warships of our army were sunk, more than 20 troop carriers, nearly a hundred small boats, and our soldiers lost more than 3,000.  "

    "Wow!" The old man Wu flipped the table over and roared, "Xia Guoxiang, Wu Guogui and Lin Xingzhu grew up on dry food? How could they be attacked by Mangou sailors while crossing the river? What's the loss?  "

    "Back to father-in-law, it's not my son-in-law who excused my brother-in-law and Guogui brothers, it's not that they are incompetent, but that traitor Xu Zhidu is too cunning." Hu Guozhu replied tremblingly: "According to brother Guogui's report, that traitor Xu Zhidu is too cunning."  First, he pretended to be cowardly, and deliberately withdrew from Yidu to Yiling, luring our Songzi army to cross the river, and then took advantage of the opportunity of smooth sailing at night to send troops suddenly, and arrived at Jingzhou Tiger Ferry in just one night, killing us to cross the river.  Jiang's army was caught off guard."

    "What's even more irritating is that Xu Zhidu even used his wife. He personally led the warships into our fleet and entangled with our sailors. His wife Xu Bitch took the opportunity to attack our troop transport  The fleet caused heavy damage to our army, and if our soldiers crossing the river were not equipped with life-saving gourds, the loss would have been even greater."

    "Trash! They're all trash!" After breaking through the Yangtze River with great difficulty, he suffered his first major defeat since the rise of the army, and it was still defeated by a woman. The traitor Wu's nose almost lost his breath.  Crooked, he shouted: "Immediately send an order to Xia Guoxiang and Wu Guogui, give them ten days, and give the old man to find this place back! Otherwise, the military law will be engaged!" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome  You come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation votes and monthly tickets.

 253 Chapter 255

    ?

    Because of the busy family affairs and marriage, Fatty Lu was not at the scene when news of the unfavorable war in Jingzhou came back to the decision-makers of Wu Jun, but it didn't take long for the news to reach Fatty Lu's ears¡ªbut not Hu Guozhu and Fang Guangchen  The biography of the two was not passed on by Liu Xuanchu, a good teacher picked by Fatty Lu, but by Wang Shirong, the only decision-maker in the Wu army who was at odds with Fatty Lu.

    Obviously, when Wang Shirong told the news to Fatty Lu, he typically had no good intentions¡ªbecause Wang Shirong came here to laugh at Fatty Lu on purpose. When the old traitor Wu decided to send Xia Guoxiang as his general to attack Jingzhou, even Fang Guangchen said that  Against it, Fatty Lu, who had been handpicked by the old traitor Wu as the chief general, didn't even dare to give a fart¡ªthis led to the defeat of Wu Jun's Jingzhou.  At the end, Wang Shirong asked Fatty Lu in a mocking tone, what pessimism does Fatty Lu, the chief culprit, have about the bleak prospects of the war in Jingzhou?

    Fatty Lu understood Wang Shirong's arrogant character very well, so Fatty Lu was not angry, but carefully read the Jingzhou battle report brought by Wang Shirong¡ªthe Jingzhou battle report that Wang Shirong wrote verbatim after reading it!  And after reading the battle report, Fatty Lu quickly took the case and said: "Second uncle and father-in-law did not lose unfairly. They were too anxious this time, and they also met their opponents. Although Xu Zhidu, the general soldier of Yiling, is not well-known,  Loud, but bold and cautious, courageous and resourceful, he is indeed a difficult dog traitor!"

    "Lord Lu is really a filial and virtuous son-in-law, and he can indeed make excuses for his elders." Wang Shirong continued to sneer: "When crossing the river, I hurried across the river without guarding against the enemy boat coming from upstream, and was attacked by the enemy, and then rushed towards the enemy  Putting gold on your face? But this is indeed a good way, putting gold on the enemy's face is indeed much better than scolding yourself for being incompetent."

    "Mr. Liangchen misunderstood. The student is definitely not putting money on the enemy's face, let alone giving money to his father-in-law." Fatty Lu was not angry at Wang Shirong's sarcasm, but just shook his head, disapproving.

    "Then tell me the reason." Wang Shirong finally showed some eagerness.

    "Mr. Liangchen, please pay attention to the time." Fatty Lu pointed to the battle report and said: "Mr. Liangchen, please see that the second uncle and the others launched three sieges in five days, and on the fifth day, that is, yesterday morning, they were attacked by the traitor Xu Zhidu.  However, the Second Uncle and the others have only spent ten days since they set off¡ªthat is to say, the Second Uncle and the others have traveled more than 400 miles from Yuezhou to Jingzhou in just over four days.  ! Such a high-intensity rapid march, and then launched such a high-intensity siege, what does this mean?"

    Wang Shirong was silent, and only after a while did he say, "General Xia Guoxiang is too anxious, and he is eager to make meritorious service, so Mangou took advantage of the loophole."

    "That's right!" Fatty Lu clapped the battle report, and said categorically: "Second uncle is not the only sign of anxiety. Before our Songzi army had time to cross the Yangtze River, he couldn't wait to launch three sieges, full of dogs.  No matter how stupid you are, you can understand that the second uncle is eager to break the city. The traitor Xu Zhidu also seized on the anxiety of the second uncle, pretending to retreat timidly, and inducing the second uncle to rush the Songzi army to cross the river for reinforcements. As a result, the second uncle was killed  Let Xu Zhi take advantage of this loophole.¡±

    Wang Shirong was silent again, and Fatty Lu added: "And what I can be sure of is that this Xu Zhidu is definitely a courageous and courageous traitor, because after he withdrew from Yidu to Yiling, he could indeed be in Yiling with smooth sailing.  I rushed to the Jingzhou battlefield overnight, but if the news of the Jingzhou battlefield is to be sent back to Yiling, it is difficult for even a carrier pigeon to arrive overnight, let alone Xu Zhidu¡¯s marching time and preparation time. So I can  Certainly, when Xu Zhidu withdrew to Yiling on the seventh day of the lunar new year, he must have expected that our army's Songzi army would cross the river in the early morning of the eighth day of the new year, so he set off on the evening of the seventh day of the seventh day and arrived in Jingzhou in the early morning of the eighth day of the new year, killing our army by surprise  !"

    "So, this Xu Zhidu's military style is very similar to yours." Wang Shirong said in a deep voice, "Both of them like to take the edge of the sword and are good at capturing the enemy's psychological weaknesses. When they see the opportunity, they all bet on it. If they win, they will win big."  Yes, if you lose"

    "If you lose, Xu Zhi will not lose at all." Fatty Lu spread his hands and said, "Unless the second uncle or my father-in-law sees through his tricks and arranges an ambush in advance to wait for work, otherwise, even if our army does not cross the river on the morning of the eighth day, Xu  To rule the capital to the top is to expose the plan, and not a single soldier will be lost."

    Wang Shirong stopped talking again, and after a while, Wang Shirong suddenly exclaimed again, "No! The enemy is so cunning and tough, General Xia is so eager to advance, and the prince is now ordering General Xia to take revenge as soon as possible to save face.  General Xia is afraid that he will suffer a lot!"

    "Grandpa, did he ask the second uncle to take revenge as soon as possible?" Fatty Lu was also taken aback. When Wang Shirong quickly introduced the old traitor Wu's order to Xia Guoxiang, Fatty Lu immediately cried out, got up and said.One soldier at a time, break through the strong city of Jingzhou!  "

    "Stinky boy, what are you bragging about?" The future son-in-law doesn't need to kowtow when meeting him, but he dares to brag about it in front of himself who just suffered a defeat in the city of Jingzhou.  Talk big to Lao Tzu! You think you are a god if you broke Jingzhou City without a single soldier?"

    "Guogui, don't be angry, your son-in-law is not bragging." Old Han Wu said calmly.

    "Father, how do you know?" Wu Guogui was taken aback, Fatty Lu also raised his fat head in surprise, and looked carefully at Old Traitor Wu.

    The old man Wu smiled treacherously, and asked, "Yifeng, you want me to dig up the embankment of thousands of people and flood Jingzhou City, right?"

    "Grandfather, how did you know?" Fatty Lu was even more shocked.

    "I don't know your temper yet? You only seek the end when you do things, and don't use any means." The old man Wu said calmly: "Since you left us to go to the Wandi to patrol alone, the old man has already guessed, you  It must have been discovered that Jingzhou City is low-lying and the Ten Thousand Dykes are high, as long as the Ten Thousand Dykes are dug up and the Yangtze River water is used to irrigate Jingzhou City, no matter how many dogs there are in Jingzhou City, it will be full of fish and turtles."

    "Ah!" Wu Guogui and Xia Guoxiang exclaimed in unison, looked at each other again, and exclaimed in unison again: "Why didn't we think of this trick?"

    "What a great idea!" Ma Bao, who was next to him, also shook his fist and roared, "Dig the embankment of thousands of people, and without a single soldier, you can kill the dogs in the city!"

    "Then what about the people in Jingzhou City? What about the people in Jingzhou Mansion?" The old man Wu was treacherous, and asked Lu Fatty and other generals of the Wu army: "In order to break through a city, we dug up the people and gathered tens of thousands of people.  What about the hundreds of thousands of people in Jingzhou Prefecture? What about the millions of people in the downstream? Don¡¯t forget, this is a grain-producing area.  After leaving the fertile land, what do the people around them eat?"

    All the generals of the Wu army were speechless, while Fatty Lu looked up and down the old traitor Wu as if he didn't know him, almost suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.  But the old traitor Wu shouted again in a deep voice: "Propagate the decree of the orphan, for the sake of thousands of lives, no one is allowed to touch a single brick or stone of the Thousand Thousand Dykes! Jingzhou City, I must be defeated in an upright manner!"

    Note: During the Jingzhou War during the San Francisco Rebellion, the old traitor Wu still cared for the people with hypocrisy and righteousness, and refused to dig the embankment, even though the battle was fierce and the casualties were heavy. It is by no means a fiction.  It really happened in history, and it is contained in pages 179-180 and 204 of the fourth volume of "Guangyang Miscellaneous Notes".  In this regard, the historical materials of the Qing Dynasty commented: The old age is already deep!  Later generations Baoyi Teng commented: Strategically conservative!  (To be continued.

 Chapter 254

    ?

    "This old thing is not used with such a good method, but it's hard to get far away. Isn't that embarrassing for Lu Ge?"

    Looking closely at the map sand table and troop deployment signs in Jingzhou area, and scratching the millimeter-scale new hair on his bald head, Fatty Lu's fat face was full of dumbfounding. It was obviously an easy and simple thing, but because it had to pay a certain amount  To sacrifice is to turn this simple thing into a complicated thing, and an easy thing into a difficult thing. Isn¡¯t this asking for trouble?

    "Fortunately, Brother Lu, I had the foresight. Fortunately, Brother Lu, I pushed Wu Yingqi's 250 to take the place of the dead ghost in Yi Cheng's incident!" Secretly rejoicing in my heart, Fatty Lu muttered again in a daze,  "It's no wonder that in history, the old traitor Wu failed to bring down Kang Mazi. The gap, this is the gap. The old traitor Wu didn't deserve to lose."

    Sneaking a few furtive words, Fatty Lu tried his best to put all his grievances behind him, and settled down to plan other tactics to break the city. However, like old traitor Wu, Fatty Lu was also very troubled by the current strength comparison between the enemy and us on the Jingzhou battlefield.  On the north bank of the Yangtze River on the Jingzhou battlefield, the total strength of the Wu army's navy and army, including Yang Laijia's surrendered troops, was less than 50,000. However, the Qing army holding the city in Jingzhou city exceeded 60,000¡ªalthough 30,000 of them  It was the new army that Mi Qing had just formed, and its combat effectiveness was insufficient. However, with a strong city to rely on, this weakness was not obvious. It was still difficult for the Wu army to wipe out the 30,000 rookies.

    In addition, on the south bank of the Yangtze River, although the Songzi army of the Wu army still has about 17,000 troops, the Yiling navy of the Qing army led by the hard-core traitor Xu Zhidu and his wife, like a mangy dog, has always been entrenched in Yidu upstream of the ferry.  On the surface of the Zhijiang River, it always threatened the safety of the Songzi Wu army crossing the river. In a disguised form, it restrained nearly one-third of the Wu army's strength for the Jingzhou Qing army, and the Wu army's navy was at a disadvantage because of the current, wind direction, and battlefield.  For this reason, he was always helpless with this mangy dog, which made Songzi Wu's army unable to cross the Yangtze River and entered the Jingzhou battlefield, wasting a precious force in vain.

    "My lord, return to the account!" During the calculation, the guards shouted from outside the large tent of the Chinese army, and then, the old traitor Wu who personally led the army to patrol the camp led Wang Shirong, Fang Xueshi, Lu Xia and other cronies strode into the account.  Fatty Lu hurried forward to pay respects, while old traitor Wu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's so cold, why don't you go back to bed and rest?"

    "Go back to grandfather, son-in-law will go back in a while, and want to study the enemy's situation again." Fatty Lu replied respectfully.

    "Then how is the research going?" The old man Wu took off his cloak, threw it into Lu Xia's arms, sat on the charcoal brazier, and asked casually while warming up, "Have you figured out any good strategy to break the city?"  ?¡±

    "Back to grandfather, not yet." Fatty Lu replied helplessly: "There is not enough troops. The enemy is outnumbered. Our army wants to attack the enemy but is defending. It is difficult for our army's advantages in combat power and weapons to be used  , my son-in-law is incompetent, and I really can't think of a better way to attack the city for a while."

    "Take your time, don't rush, we still have some time." The old traitor Wu waved his hand generously and said: "The old man has already said that since ancient times, siege warfare is the most difficult to fight. You, like the old man, have to  Be prepared for a long struggle."

    "My lord, we can't afford to delay." Wang Shirong said cautiously: "It has been a month since our army broke through the Yangtze River. If we don't seize the time to expand the results, we will miss all the opportunities when Mangou recovers."

    "Don't I know this question?" The old man Wu said helplessly: "The problem is that if the nail in Jingzhou is not pulled out now, our Huguang army and the Sichuan army will not be able to unite together, and the hinterland of Pianyuan behind the money and grain will always be there.  It's useless for me to worry about being threatened by Man Gou."

    "Then, my lord, the student Mr. Maoya's proposal today?" Wang Shirong asked a little unwillingly.

    "The old man has already said that there is no need to discuss this matter again!" The old traitor Wu categorically vetoed it, and said firmly: "The old man's rebellion against the Qing and Ming Dynasty is to save the people from the sea of ??suffering, not to trap the people in the sea of ??suffering."

    Wang Shirong closed his mouth helplessly, and Fatty Lu smiled wryly, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Grandfather, can we send an army from Sichuan to go down the river and raid Yiling City, the old nest of the dog Xu Zhidu, to force the army to go down the river?"  Xu Zhi is retreating, and the second is to send reinforcements to the Jingzhou battlefield. Since the Jingzhou War has almost become a battle, then we simply expand the scale of the battle and strive to wipe out more of the living forces in Jingzhou.  The army's next comprehensive counter-offensive lays the foundation for victory?"

    "The old man has also considered this plan." The old traitor Wu replied: "It's just that our Sichuan army has concentrated in the Yangping Pass and Chaotian Pass, and is ready to launch the Northern Expedition at any time to capture Hanzhong and advance into Shaanxi and Gansu.  Sichuan transferOne break.  "

    "Then we can only retreat to Canggang." Xu's tone became even more helpless, "Otherwise, if we retreat to the absolutely safe Zhijiang water, the soldiers' physical strength will not be able to support them anymore."

    "Then that's the only way to go." Xu Zhidu sent an order with his head downcast: "Show the flag, retreat 20 miles, and rest in Canggang."

    The fleet of Xu Zhidu and his wife, who had been tossed to death by Fatty Lu, finally retreated again, but Fatty Lu did not look satisfied at all. He just carefully observed the lights of Xu Zhidu's fleet with a telescope for a long time, and confirmed that Xu Zhidu and his wife were indeed not  After the fraudulent retreat, Fatty Lu quickly ordered to Wu Guogui: "Please trouble father-in-law to issue two more orders. The first one is for our troop fleet. After an hour, another two thousand troops will be transported across the river; the second  Tell Lin Xingzhu to prepare him well, and when the Mandog Fleet turns back for the third time, he will attack immediately and try his best to seize the favorable position upstream, and let him think about what to do next."

    "Understood." Wu Guogui feebly agreed, and then asked, "What about you? What should you do?"

    "My son-in-law is tired and wants to rest." Fatty Lu yawned, "Father-in-law, if you are tired, you can also rest. If Lin Xingzhu can't win the battle after tossing the dog to this point, then he has no face to live."  in this world."

    Note: The traitorous wife of Xu Zhidu, Xu, is not a fictional character, but a historical figure. The historical materials of the Qing Dynasty boasted that she was "a fine man, good at riding and shooting, and often went to war with her husband". In history, before the start of the Jingzhou War during the San Francisco Rebellion  Xu Zhidu was pinned down by the Wu army in the Changde area. When Xu discovered that the Wu army showed signs of attacking Jingzhou, he restrained the army for his traitor husband, rectified military discipline, and donated all the jewelry to reward the soldiers, so that Xu Zhidu was able to lead the army immediately after returning to Yiling.  Reinforce Jingzhou.  Later, the Xu family and Xu Zhidu fought against the Wu army side by side, and were killed by the Wu army in Yiling. Kang Mazi specially ordered him to give you a shirt, and he was granted the title of Yunqiwei, which was inherited by his son Xu Yongnian.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 255 For the Qing Dynasty

    ?

    (ps: Just to clarify, Pure Wolf has been ill since the first day of the Lunar New Year. He persisted with the illness for a few days, but the cold became more and more serious. The low-grade fever made his lips covered with scabs, and his head was groggy.  I want to ask for leave. Although I tried to hold on for a long time, I really couldn¡¯t hold it anymore, so the number of words is less. Please be considerate of my friends.)

    "Report¡ª¡ª! The Mangou navy turned around and attacked Hudu for the third time. Our troop transport fleet is still nearly a mile away from the north bank!"

    "Report¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª! The Mangou navy launched an attack on our army's troop carrier fleet, but our army's navy has not sent troops to intercept it so far, and it seems possible to flee timidly!"

    "Report¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª As soon as our army's troop transport fleet came ashore, the Mangou navy rushed into our army's fleet and started a war with our army's river bank defenders. The battle was fierce, and our soldiers fell into the water."  There are so many of them! However, for some reason, our navy has not yet appeared on the battlefield!"

    One more urgent meteor express was sent to the Wu army camp on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and directly sent to the dormitory where the old traitor Wu was resting. After hearing the news, most of the Wu army generals who came to the dormitory and waited for orders became anxious.  Ants, all anxiously looked at old traitor Wu, waiting for old traitor Wu to send troops to respond to the order, but old traitor Wu who put on his clothes and got up to listen to the spy yawned loudly, waved and said: "Okay, there is no need to report again, everyone  General, go back and rest too, you have nothing to do tonight."

    "It's nothing to do with us?" Xia Guoxiang was stunned, and he hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists and screamed: "Father-in-law, how can you say that it's nothing to do with us? Now the Mangou navy is attacking our troop carrier fleet, and our navy is attacking us again!"  It¡¯s missing, and the situation is so critical, how can you say that it¡¯s nothing to do with us?¡±

    "It's true that the situation is critical, but it's not us, it's Man Dog." The old man Wu smiled treacherously, and said casually: "If the old man is not wrong, the Man Dog sailor should also find out that the situation is wrong. Don't worry, Yifeng's ability  This king understands that we will definitely win this water battle."

    "My lord, can't you be so optimistic?" Wang Shirong also stood up and said cautiously: "Before, Lin Xingzhu's department of our navy and Xu Zhidu's department of the Mangou Navy fought three times, and they all came back in defeat.  Your lord, you don't even know what the division is doing, so how can you be so optimistic that our army will win?"

    "You guys don't know about water warfare in rivers and rivers." The old man Wu smiled even more happily, and said proudly: "Although the old man is not very proficient in water warfare, I also know that in river water warfare, the most important thing is wind direction and water flow.  Our navy lost three times in three battles, all due to the unfavorable wind direction and current. Now Yifeng uses the troop carrier as bait to attract the full-fledged sailors, but our sailors are nowhere to be found. What are they doing? Other than robbing  What else is there to do besides the vantage point of being upwind and downwind?"

    "Besides, Yifeng gave us an opportunity." The old traitor Wu added proudly: "In one day, he has tossed the Mangou Navy back and forth three times.  How much stamina do you have? We waited for work and seized favorable terrain, if we can't win this battle, then the old man sees that Lin Xingzhu won't be the vice-commander of the navy anymore, he can go straight to the prison and squat."

    The old traitor Wu trusted Fatty Lu so much, and all the generals in the Wu army were inevitably skeptical, but the old traitor Wu didn't give the generals a chance to continue questioning, he just waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's all go down, those who are on duty at night should strengthen their inspections, and the others  Rest well, and when Yifeng pulls out the small nail on the periphery, it's up to you to pull out the big nail in Jingzhou."

    After all, the old traitor Wu directly asked the guards to drive the generals out of the tent, and continued to sleep. Although the generals of the Wu army were not completely relieved, they saw that the old traitor Wu had already spoken to this point, so they stopped insisting  , They all went back to camp to rest according to the order without mentioning it.  At the same time, throughout the second half of the night, the battlefield at the ferry was indeed filled with shouts of killing, artillery and explosions, and the fighting was extremely fierce.

    In the early morning of the next day, the good news really came. After the Wu army's crossing fleet lost three or four hundred soldiers, the Wu army, who had seized the upper reaches and the upper hand, turned around and fought back.  .  The exhausted Qing army navy could not form an effective resistance at all, and was defeated by the Wu army navy who vowed revenge. Twenty-two warships were sunk by the Wu army, twelve of them were captured, and four were captured.  Two thousand, the traitorous wife of Xu Zhidu, Xu Shi, was also stabbed to death by soldiers of the Wu army in the near-board battle, and became a beehive for life.  Xu Zhidu led the defeated army and fled back to Yiling, and never dared to go out to harass the port again. The river near Jingzhou was finally completely controlled by the Wu Jun navy.

    ? Finally avenged the blood feud of three battles and three defeats. The elated Wu Jun and navy unanimously called for the battle, demanding to take advantage of the victory to pursue to Yiling City, break through the city and hack the dog traitor Xu Zhidu and his family to death.  But Fatty Lu refused, "No, I have to leave Jingzhou Mangou with a thought and a way out, otherwise, Jingzhou Mangou will really be unable to fight to the death. Anyway, Mangou Sailor"What is death?"  ¡ª¡ªIt is even no exaggeration to say that without the protection of the city wall, the Wu army only needs to send 3,000 soldiers, which is enough to send the 30,000 Qing army recruits back to their hometowns!

    "Huh?" After splashing his companions with cold water, Tu Hai suddenly remembered something again, and asked hurriedly, "Wait, everyone, I don't know if I remember correctly, it seems that when Xu Zhidu and his wife reported victory to us last time,  How many of Wugou¡¯s suicide boats have they captured? The Wugou¡¯s new gunpowder on board was also seized by their husband and wife?¡±

    "Tutang, you remember correctly." Chani, who had been silent all this time, stood up, "I remember very clearly that Xu Zhidu and his wife seized eight boats of Wugou's new gunpowder, but I don't know if they have used it now."

    "Prince Jian, Xu Zhi is under your command, please send someone to contact him immediately!" Tu Hai stood up immediately and said, "Tell him, if the eight-ship Wugou new gunpowder has not been used, then you must do so."  Don't use it indiscriminately! Let him find a way, no matter what method he uses, he will use these eight ships of new-style gunpowder to blow up the Wanwan embankment for us!"

    "Tutang, is Xu Zhi sure of this?" Labu asked in surprise.

    "It's all a gamble." Tu Hai gritted his teeth and said, "If my predictions are correct, after Songzi's Wu Dogs have all crossed the Yangtze River, the main force of the Wu Dogs will launch a strong attack on our Jingzhou City.  Wu Dog likes to fight at night when he sieges the city, so we use the darkness to reduce the threat of our bows and muskets, we stick to the city to attract Wu Dog's attention, Xu Zhi should take advantage of the opportunity to attack, there should be a few percent success!"

    "Okay then." La Bu also stood up, gritted his teeth and said, "For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, this king doesn't care so much anymore. I immediately send cavalry out of the city, break out of the siege to deliver a letter to Xu Zhidu, and let him spare no expense."  Blow up the Ten Thousand Causeways at all costs, and flood the Wugou camp!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 256

    ?

    (ps: The normal update will resume from now on, please friends continue to support.)

    After three days of patient preparation, at the beginning of the night on the first day of the twelfth lunar month in the twelfth year of Kang Mazi, the main force of the Wu army, who likes to launch sieges at night, finally launched an attack on Jingzhou Jiancheng.

    Like the previous sieges by Xia Guoxiang's troops of the Wu army, the main force of the Wu army this time is still a new siege tactic of bombarding the city walls of Jingzhou with concentrated artillery. The focus of the artillery bombardment is also the west gate of Jingzhou chosen by Xia Guoxiang before.  To contend, and dare not go out of the city to attack the Wu army's artillery position, and can only struggle and support under the raging Wu army's artillery.

    After more than a year of actual combat training, Wu Jun's gunners have significantly improved their cannon handling skills compared to before. Not only have they been able to shoot more accurately through skillful adjustments to the shooting height, but the firing speed of the loaded ammunition has also been significantly faster than before.  The mastery of the delayed explosion time of the blooming shells is also close to perfection. Basically, it can be air-bombed if it wants to be air-bombed, and it can be ground-bombed if it wants to be ground-bombed.  In this way, the Qing army defenders on the west gate of Jingzhou were naturally in bad luck. They were completely unable to lift their heads under the pressure of Wu Jun's steel and gunpowder, unable to resist and had nowhere to escape.

    Drawing on the experience of the previous artillery attack, Wu Jun artillery has completely eliminated the original black powder flowering shells, and even basically eliminated the less powerful nitrocellulose flowering shells, replacing them with the most powerful Sanhao brand explosive flowering shells, and Wu Jun  The production of three good explosives in China can keep up with such a huge consumption. Apart from the old traitor Wu's willingness to spend money on this aspect, there is another very important reason, that is, after Wu Jun beat Yunnan and Guizhou, he unintentionally controlled a major gunpowder town¡ª¡ª  ¡ª Liuyang County, Changsha Prefecture!

    Since the Tang Dynasty, Liuyang has been the most famous hometown of gunpowder in China. Not counting the skilled craftsmen who are good at making firecrackers and fireworks in the county, there are countless skilled craftsmen who prepare and produce gunpowder.  Because of the isolation, most of these skilled craftsmen lost their livelihoods, and when Wu Jun moved the firearms camp to Jiji Mountain in Ningxiang County, Changsha, because of the large number of gunpowder craftsmen recruited, these Liuyang craftsmen who had been living on gunpowder since childhood naturally flocked  They rushed to Mount Jiji, not only providing Wu Jun with countless gunpowder craftsmen who did not need training at all, but also bringing Wu Jun countless various gunpowder production techniques. With the help of these gunpowder craftsmen, Wu Jun also  He developed a nitroglycerin production process that cools down with running water, which greatly increased the output of nitroglycerin, and the output of Sanhao explosives naturally increased accordingly. Naturally, Wu Jun would not use the cheap and high-quality Sanhao gunpowder instead of using expensive ones.  Poor nitrocellulose.

    The story is far away, but let¡¯s get down to business. From the beginning of the Wu army¡¯s artillery siege, the Qing army defenders at the west gate of Jingzhou were completely in the hell of iron fire.  The sound shook all the soldiers and generals of the Qing army on the city wall to be deaf, and the shock wave of the explosion made the city wall crumble again. The remaining and temporarily repaired garrison towers almost collapsed in the first round of artillery fire by the Wu army.  The soldiers of the Qing army were even more pitiful. They were either blown to nothing, or they were swept up and down by the shock wave of the explosion, and they couldn't stand steadily. Countless soldiers were thrown off the city wall and fell to their deaths.  Their internal organs were ruptured, and they died in an unspeakable pain. More soldiers of the Qing army stumbled and fled down the city wall, hiding in the dead corner of the artillery shooting behind the city wall, lingering on their last breath.

    In just over half an hour, under the fierce bombardment of more than a hundred large and small artillery pieces of the Wu army, the garrison tower on the west gate wall of Jingzhou was completely destroyed, and the city defenses such as arrow stacks, battlements, and antlers were basically destroyed.  sweep away.  It was also at this time that the old traitor Wu who personally directed the siege battle ordered to stop the shelling and moved the artillery position to the east gate of Jingzhou. At the same time, the siege infantry of the Wu army also began to march out.  They were pushed to the edge of the moat and lined up to form a mobile fortification. Wu Jun's archers and musketeers hid behind the car and shot and fired arrows at the city wall to suppress the defenders on the city. Other infantry took the opportunity to pick up stones and carry bags to fill the moat.  Siege road.

    "Bah! You old cunning old man!" After receiving the battle report of Wu's siege, Tu Hai, La Bu and other Qing army commanders spat heavily, scolding old Wu for being cautious and treacherous, and not rushing to attack the city with ladders.  Fill in the moat first, and make it clear that you are sharpening your knife and not mistakenly cutting firewood. You are going to fight steadily, first clear the obstacles on the road to the siege, and then take Jingzhou Jiancheng with minimal casualties.

    "My lord, if the slave's expectations are correct, Wu Gou will soon fire at the east city of Jingzhou again." After thinking nervously, Tu Hai quickly suggested to Prince Labu, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army in Jingzhou: "Our army should  Withdrew most of the troops on the east gate wall as soon as possible, leaving only a small number of troops to monitor Wu Dog's movements to reduce unnecessary losses. As for the west gate, more archers and shotgunners should be sent up.?Jin, I'm afraid that in less than half an hour, the troops in front will not be able to retreat back to the safe zone.  "

    "My lord, if we encounter such a situation in the future, should we try a new siege tactic?" Wang Shirong was calmer, and after careful observation, he suggested: "In the future, when we have superior artillery to cover the siege, should we try to give up?"  Use only light and flexible flying ladders to attack the city with heavy ladder vehicles and platform vehicles? In this case, wouldn¡¯t it be more convenient for us to advance and retreat when attacking the city?¡±

    "Regarding this point, you have to think carefully." The old man Wu said in a deep voice: "Although similar tactics are effective and can kill a large number of enemy troops, the morale can't be discouraged. When attacking the city, it is easy for the soldiers to form  Inertia, when attacking the city, it will only climb Mingjin, and refuse to fight to the death, but it will be counterproductive."

    "Grandfather is brilliant, this theory is indeed very high, morale can only be boosted, not vented." Fatty Lu quickly flattered, and then suggested: "Grandfather, regarding the aspect of boosting morale, my grandson-in-law has another suggestion.  , when our army was besieging the city, the slogans of killing were very messy, and the infection effect was very small, so my son-in-law thought that my grandfather should unify a simple and effective slogan so that the whole army can shout together and boost morale."

    "Good suggestion." The old traitor Wu was very satisfied, and asked again: "Then what kind of slogan do you think is most suitable?"

    "Da Zhou!" Fatty Lu replied decisively: "The word 'Da Zhou' not only represents the identity of our army, but also is simple and easy to remember, and easy to form a rhythm. When thousands of soldiers shout this slogan in unison, they will surely  It can play the role of encouraging companions and deterring all dogs."

    "Wonderful!" The old man Wu treacherously slapped his thigh, and quickly ordered: "All generals listen to the order. After a while, when our infantry begins to attack the city again, every time the flag is waved, the whole army will shout the word "Da Zhou!"  "

    "Obey!" Wu Jun and all the generals clasped their fists together and agreed.  The old traitor Wu ordered again: "Pass this order to the front again, so that the siege soldiers can do the same"

    "Boom¡ª¡ª!"

    The sudden violent explosion interrupted the old traitor Wu's order. The traitor Wu and the generals of the Wu army looked at the sound in surprise, but they were even more surprised to find that the explosion came from the tens of thousands of river embankments behind their own army.  With a cry, flames suddenly appeared on the Ten Thousand Dike, and another extremely violent explosion rumbled.

    "Who is it? Who blew up the embankment?" The old man Wu roared angrily, "This king has repeatedly told me not to move any brick or stone of the embankment of thousands of people. Who is so courageous to blow up the embankment behind my back?"

    "Grandfather, it can't be our army!" Fatty Lu roared, "If our soldiers blow up the embankment, it is impossible to do it at this time! It is full of dogs, it must be full of dogs!"

    ?

    "An embankment full of dogs? How is it possible? How is it possible?!"

    Hearing Fatty Lu's conjecture, the traitor Wu's first reaction was impossible, and his second reaction was still impossible¡ªhow could Man Gou blow up the embankment by himself?  Even if Mangou can ignore the people's life and death, but if the embankment is blown up, where will the Mangou army in Jingzhou city go?

    "The explosives from Mangou?" Wang Shirong also found it incredible. Judging from the loudness of the explosion, the gunpowder that exploded the embankment was undoubtedly Wu Jun's three-good explosives-but the three-good explosives from Mangou?

    "How do I know?" Fatty Lu yelled, "Grandfather, now is not the time to think so much, our army should move to the high ground immediately, and send another army to the Wanwan Dike to see if we can hold the dike temporarily!"

    "Yes." The old traitor Wu finally calmed down from the shock, and hurriedly shouted: "Yifeng, you and Gao Dejie led the troops of the headquarters to Wanwandi, and everyone else, all retreated to the camp, took the luggage and moved to the high ground!"

    "Dangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdang!" The order was conveyed, and the gong for emergency withdrawal sounded. The well-trained troops of the Wu army retreated in an emergency, and rushed to the camp on the west side of Taibai Lake to transfer the food and grass¡ªthanks to the Wu army.  The infantry has stopped attacking the fortification just now, otherwise, none of the soldiers of the Wu army who attacked the city wall would have come back from under the city wall.  Fatty Lu and Gao Dejie galloped on their horses, led Gao Dejie's 4,000 elite cavalry, and rushed to the west of Wandi with torches.

    Not to mention the retreat of the main force of the Wu army under the personal command of the old traitor Wu, but only to say that when Fatty Lu and Gao Dejie led their troops all the way to the Ten Thousand Causeway, they were still more than a mile away from the Ten Thousand Causeway, and the flood on the ground had already submerged  The instep, and the current is very fast, and the rising momentum is extremely fast. Gao Hongchen and other generals were worried that the flood would be ruthless and sweep away their entire army, so they persuaded Fatty Lu and Gao Dejie to withdraw their troops and retreat to the high ground.  Gao Dejie hesitated, but Fatty Lu shouted: "We can't withdraw, as long as there is any hope, we have to work hard! Otherwise, our main force will be finished, and so will the prince!"

    Needless to say, Gao Dejie, who once captured Emperor Yongli alive for the old traitor Wu, was loyal to the old traitor Wu. Hearing Fatty Lu's words, Gao Dejie gritted his teeth, drew his knife and shouted: "Go on!"  Charge, those who take a step back will be cut immediately!" Wu Jun's cavalry dared not refuse to listen, so they had to bite the bullet and continue to charge against the rapid flood, rushing towards the Ten Thousand People's Bank.

    When they finally rushed to the bottom of the Ten Thousand People's Dike, the flood had already reached the belly of the horse, and on the Ten Thousand People's Dike, there was a rush of water and people's voices, and they could vaguely hear "digging quickly", "digging quickly" and "digging bigger"  Such shouting sounds, the sky is too dark, Wu Jun and everyone can't see the situation on the embankment clearly, so they can only charge towards the embankment with the last ray of hope.  When they rushed to the top of the Wanwan Dike, Fatty Lu and Gao Dejie were furious. A group of four or five hundred Qing soldiers, dressed in ordinary clothes, surrounded the gaps in the two dikes where water gushed out.  Digging dams like crazy!

    "Brothers, kill!" Gao Dejie yelled with red eyes, "Go up, kill all the dogs for me, don't let any one stay! Don't take any prisoners!"

    "Kill!" The furious Wu Jun cavalry swooped up, swinging their knives and slashing and killing the group of inhuman mite soldiers.  Fatty Lu grabbed Xiao Erlang, and shouted with red eyes: "Go and report to the prince immediately, the Wandi is still worth saving, please send the infantry up with tools immediately!"

    "Decree!" Without saying a word, Xiao Erlang rushed down the embankment again with a few soldiers.  Fatty Lu turned to Hong Xiguan, Fang Shiyu and others next to him and shouted: "Give me all, full of dogs, no one will be left!" Fatty Lu's personal troops also did not say a word, all pulled out their waist knives, and rushed towards him with blood red eyes.  Those Qing soldiers.

    "Kill!" Amidst the roar, the cavalry of the Wu army swept up, and the soldiers of the Qing army yelled to call the police, while holding up hoes and shovels and other embankment tools to resist. However, what they encountered were not only the most elite of the Wu army.  The ace cavalry is still a furious division whose eyes are completely red with anger, and the result is naturally conceivable.

    "Kill!" Almost at the first moment when the two armies collided, the leading dozen soldiers of the Qing army were chopped into pieces by the Wu army cavalry facing them, and the Wu army cavalry behind them surged up like a tide, their sharp sabers were like a storm.  One after another, blood and brains splattered everywhere, and severed heads and limbs flew all over the sky in the crowd. The soldiers of the Qing army who were stabbed into the air screamed like killing pigs, but they couldn't scream three times, and they were killed by the Wu army again.  The cavalry's sabers were hacked into dozens or hundreds of pieces, and more Qing soldiers were directly knocked down, and then trampled into meat paste by countless horseshoes.  In a short time, it was washed into a piece of loose sand by the cavalry of the Wu army, without the slightest resistance.

    "Wu Gou is powerful, run away!" Someone shouted, and the soldiers of the Qing army threw down their hoes and ran away, killing everyone red-eyed.??"Kill all the dogs! Avenge the brothers!"

    "Kill all the dogs! Avenge my brothers!" Countless Wu soldiers raised their weapons and shouted with red eyes, "Kill all the dogs! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill¡ª¡ª!"

    "Kill all the dogs¡ª¡ª! Kill¡ª¡ª!" The angry and orderly roars merged into one stream, soaring into the sky, echoing endlessly on the surface of the Yangtze River.  One can hear clearly.  Hearing this roar, the Qing army couldn't help but have a thought, a frightening and desperate thought.  (To be continued.

    "Listen to the dogs in Jingzhou City! I don't want your surrender! Wash your dog's necks and wait to die!"

    "Jingzhou Mangou, listen up! The Lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty has ordered that Jingzhou Mangou will not be surrendered! No one will be spared! Dogs and chickens will not be spared!"

    "Full of bastards! Waiting to die! Waiting to die! Shou-death!"

    The stagnant water has not yet been drained, Jingzhou City is surrounded by mud, and the main camp of the Wu army is moving to the west of the Duijintai Highlands - we have to take precautions, so on the third day of the twelfth lunar month and the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.  For two days, Wu Jun did not launch an attack on Jingzhou City, but several cavalry troops of Wu Jun were like a few hungry wolves, circling outside the Simen City of Jingzhou all the time, yelling and insulting day and night, throwing out red eyes.  A series of provocations and threats, with all their strength to snipe and kill every Qing army scout who dared to go out of the city to investigate, made the Jingzhou Qing army rely on pigeons to communicate with the outside world, and it was difficult for a horse or a man to get out of the tight encirclement.

    In view of the unprecedented declaration of war by the old traitor Wu, no one in the Qing army dared to turn a deaf ear to the terrorist threat from the Wu army. At the same time, the whole Qing army was extremely afraid of one thing-that is, to completely enrage the old traitor Wu and use all means  Digging up the embankment of thousands of people, flooding the whole city of Jingzhou!

    In the evening of the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, when the sky was getting dark, Labu, Tuhai, Shangshan and others came to the west gate of Jingzhou again, looked at the Duijintai highland in the northwest of Jingzhou, and saw the bonfires in the Wu army camp on the high ground like a sea, covering half of the sky.  The sky was bright red, and the sound of people shouting and neighing could be heard clearly even at the top of Jingzhou City. La Bu, Tu Hai and others were inevitably worried and flustered.  When I turned to look at the levee of ten thousand people in the southwest, I saw that the top of the levee was also brightly lit, and the army of Wu troops with torches was coming and going, as dense as stars, and Tuhai, Labu and others were inevitably more worried-now the army of Wu  The camp had already moved to the high ground. If Wu Jun's troops suddenly opened the embankment, none of the dogs in Jingzhou would escape.

    "Tutang, you are always good at predicting things, please tell me, will Wu Gou know how to dig embankments?" Shang Shan asked Tu Hai again.

    "Chambelle, today is the fifteenth time you have asked the slave this question." Tuhai replied helplessly: "The slave still has the same answer. It is possible that Wu Gou suddenly dug the embankment, but it is not big¡ªotherwise  In the past two days, Wu Gou will not spare manpower and material resources to repair the dam."

    "Then why is Wu Gou still concentrating so many troops on the embankment?" Shang Shan asked: "Even Xu Zhi has been killed by Wu Gou now. There is no Qing army around Jingzhou that can threaten Wanwan Dike.  Why is Wu Gou still stationing so many troops on it?"

    "This slave doesn't know, maybe Wu Gou is just in case." Tu Hai shook his head helplessly, and found an excuse to answer, but Tu Hai knew very well in his heart that since the Qing army blew up the embankment first, Wu Jun  There must have been the sound of digging dikes and flooding the city. I am afraid that even the old traitor Wu has such thoughts in his heart.

    "I'm afraid Wugou is also arguing over whether to blow up the embankment?" La Bu said worriedly on behalf of Tuhai.  The dike almost suffered a big loss, I am afraid that the old thief Wu Sangui and his lackeys are already discussing whether to retaliate."

    "If Wu Dog retaliates with a tooth for a tooth, then we are in a terrible situation." Shang Shan said with a pale face, "You have seen what happened the night before yesterday. Xu Zhidu only made two small holes, and the river flooded the entire area around Jingzhou.  The calf is deep, Wugou has a lot of new gunpowder, if they blow up the embankment, it may take less than an hour for the river to flood Jingzhou city!"

    Labu, Tuhai, and Chani did not speak, but they all looked worried, wondering whether the old traitor Wu would be so inhumane that he used such a frenzied trick.  After Shangshan trembled for a long time, he suddenly said: "Prince Jian, Tutang, why don't we withdraw, abandon Jingzhou and break through to Yiling or Xiangyang, and go to Yiling or Xiangyang to continue to resist Wu Gou. Master, as long as  We told the master the truth, explaining that Jingzhou City is really unable to hold on, I believe the master will understand our difficulties."

    Labu and Chani still didn't speak, but their stomachs began to move. Tuhai shook his head resolutely, and said firmly: "We can't withdraw! One is that our army is not as good as Wu Gou in field battles, and Wu Gou is vowing to take revenge.  If you abandon the city, you will be hit head-on by Wu Gou in the field battle! Second, Jingzhou is already the only nail in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River for our Qing Dynasty. Once you abandon it, Sichuan Wu Gou and Huguang Wu Gou will immediately become one, and Wu Gou will be gone.  Worry about the future, the Central Plains, Jiangnan and Northwest of our Qing Dynasty will be in emergency at the same time.After dawn on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, no one is allowed to leave the high ground without authorization!  Otherwise, even if the old man can't use military law, they probably won't have a chance to survive.  "

    "I would like to obey the order of the prince!" Wu Jun and all the generals clasped their fists together and agreed.  Only Wang Shirong turned his eyes and went out to play alone: ??"My lord, do you think the students should also inform the surrounding Jingzhou people and let them know that Mangou blew up the embankment of ten thousand people, and the embankment is difficult to hold, so let them leave temporarily?"  Escape here?"

    Old traitor Wu and Fatty Lu glanced at each other quickly, knowing that Wang Shirong had seen the clue, then old traitor Wu nodded and said, "That's right, we should inform the people and let them flee home too. Ke Duo, Fan Qihan,  Leave this matter to you. Send your cavalry from your headquarters to the villages around and downstream of Jingzhou to inform the people and let them move to high ground to avoid the flood.  , but I really can¡¯t fix it.¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 259 Resolution Breakthrough

    ?

    "Old thief Wu Sangui! You shameless old bastard! Immortal old fox! I'll fuck the eighteen generations of your eighteen generations of ancestors¡ª!"

    After reading the letters of the Wu army brought by the Qing army prisoners of war into Jingzhou City, our Prince Heshuo Jianchun, Prince Labra, almost collapsed on the ground, tearing up the letters of the traitor Wu old traitor three times, while beating his chest and swearing,  "Immortal old thing! Shameless old slick! A traitor who deserves death! Thief! One day, this king will definitely cut you into pieces! Cut into pieces¡ª!"

    "Please calm down, Prince Jian, please calm down first." Tu Hai and Shang Shan held Prince Jian together, and asked nervously, "My lord, what exactly did Wu Gou say in the letter?"

    "You don't know how to read it yourself?" Prince Jian handed over the letter furiously, only to realize that the letter had been torn into pieces in his anger, so he had no choice but to introduce: "Wu Gou informed our army in the letter,  It is said that the Wanwan embankment was severely damaged by Xu Zhidu, and they were unable to rush to repair it. It is expected that the embankment will collapse on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. They informed our army out of compassion and let us prepare and find our own way out.  "

    "The Wandi was seriously damaged by Xu Zhidu? Wugou is unable to rush to repair it? It is expected to collapse on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month?" Tu Hai, Chani, Shang Shan, and Zhun Da and other Mite Qing generals present were all stunned and said.  Who would have imagined that there would be such a shameless excuse for digging dikes in the world. It was obviously Wu Jun who planned to dig dikes and flood the city, but he even pushed all the responsibility on the Qing army, insisting that it was the result of the Qing army?  Immediately afterwards, Tuhai, Chani and the others naturally had to yell, scolding old traitor Wu until his head was bloody and his body was bruised.

    No matter how much you scold, it's useless. The old traitor Wu can't hear it, and it's even more impossible to scold the old traitor Wu. So after cursing his voice dry, the Qing army coaches such as Labu and Tuhai quickly started  His eyes widened and his eyes widened, and there was only one thought left in his mind¡ªwhether the despicable, shameless and insane old traitor Wu would really dig up the embankment of thousands of people and flood the Qing army in Jingzhou and the Han people in the whole city of Jingzhou?  ?  What should we do if the old traitor Wu really digs the embankment?

    "Uncle, let's break through quickly." Shang Shan, who was the least courageous, was the first to break down, and first suggested: "There is still some time to ride, let's break through quickly, otherwise, we will have no place to run."

    "Can't break through!" Tu Hai objected again, "Wu Gou sent prisoners to send a letter into the city, clearly wanting to force us to break through, so they can take the opportunity to kill us in the field."

    "Then shall we stay in Jingzhou City and wait to die?" Shang Shan, who had been displeased with Tu Hai for a long time, finally yelled unbearably, and roared with red eyes: "Wu Gou has directly stated that he is going to dig a dike, why don't you  Don't allow the breakout, you want to kill the 60,000 troops in Jingzhou City?!"

    "Brother Shang, please calm down." Chani, who has a very good friendship with Tu Hai, pulled Shang Shan back and said, "My little brother thinks what Tu Hai said is reasonable. If Wu Gou really plans to dig a dike, just dig it, why bother?"  What a waste of time? Deliberately report to us, so that we have a chance to break out and escape? So my younger brother thinks that there is something suspicious about Wu Gou digging the embankment."

    "My lord, do you think the situation is like this?" Bei Zi Zhunda, who had the lowest title present, said with great insight: "Could it be that the old thief Wu Sangui didn't want to dig dikes at will, and didn't want to pay a lot of money in the battle?"  Loss, that's why you deliberately threatened to dig dikes? If our army is forced to break out of Jingzhou because of fear of floods, then the old thief Wu Sangui can not only get Jingzhou, but also take the opportunity to severely damage our army in the field. If our army refuses to break through, then the twelfth lunar month  On the eighth day of the lunar new year, Wu Gou really dug the levee and let the barbarians in Jingzhou City die with us."

    "Zhun Beizi is right, this is the biggest possibility." La Bu nodded quickly, and agreed: "The old thief Wu Sangui wanted to annihilate our army, but also feared that he would get the bad name of destroying embankments and harming the people, so he deliberately released rumors to intimidate our army.  If our army gives up Jingzhou to break through, he will naturally fulfill his wish. If our army does not break through, then the old thief Wu Sangui can say that he is benevolent and righteous, dig dikes and flood the city to wipe out our army, and then blame Xu Zhidu.  It must be the levee that Xu Zhidu blew up and collapsed."

    "That's right, Zhun Beizi is right, Wu Gou must have this plan." Chani also nodded in agreement with this point of view.

    "I also agree with this view." Shang Shan nodded vigorously, and urged: "My lord, make up your mind, when will you break through? I'm afraid it will be too late!"

    "Not necessarily!" Tu Hai vetoed it again, and said firmly: "In my opinion, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Wu Gou may not really dare to dig the embankment. Jingzhou still has the value of sticking to it!"

    "Then defend by yourself, and we will break through!" Shang Shan yelled again, "You take your headquarters to defend Jingzhou, and we will break through by ourselves, and see who will be wiped out and who will keep the vitality for the Qing Dynasty!"

    Tuhai dare not say anythingHelping him off his horse, before the panting Tuhai could catch his breath, Labu, Chani and Zhunda came up to meet them, and asked eagerly together: "How is the situation on the Wanwan Causeway?  Is there any plan to destroy the embankment?"

    Tu Hai was silent, just gasping for breath. It was not until La Bu asked again and again that Tu Hai said hoarsely: "Wu Gou may have blown the embankment at least 80% of the time."

    "Why?" Labu asked persistently, "Why is Tutang so confident?"

    "Because the general Wugou who commanded the bombing of the embankment was the same Lu Yifeng and Fatty Lu who ruined my family." Tuhai said in an extremely bitter voice, "This Wugou's heart is far more vicious than Wu Sangui's."  The old thief is a hundredfold, he only seeks the end in doing things, and never uses any means - the servant even dares to bet his head that the first Wu dog who proposed to the old thief Wu Sangui to blow up the embankment and flood the city is definitely this Lu Yifeng with a heart like a snake, a scorpion and a jackal!  "

    This time it was finally Labu and Chani's turn to stop talking, but Zhunda, who had never been fooled before, was extremely surprised and couldn't help asking: "Tutang, Lord La, Zabeile, why are you all so afraid of this?"  Lu Yifeng barbarian? When I was in the capital, didn¡¯t I hear that he had a nickname called Lu San? Why do you say good things and do good deeds with good intentions? Why do you still describe him like that?¡±

    "Lu Sanhao? Bah! Shit!" Labu, Chani and Tuhai all spat at the same time. Tuhai pointed to his broken leg and said with red eyes, "Look, my son, this broken leg of the slave  The leg was broken by that Lu Yifeng! The slave had never provoked him before that, and he even fabricated perjury, so that my family was ruined and my wife was separated!"

    "Our Wuchang city and Hanyang city were all taken by that Wu dog who gave the old thief Wu Sangui a bad idea!" Chani also roared angrily: "That shameless barbarian let the Wu dog elite pretend to be ours!"  He can figure out such a shameless trick for a prisoner of war to attack Hanyang City, and you still call him Lu Sanhao?!"

    "The biggest loss for our Qing elite was the Bajiang War in Guizhou." Labu said bitterly, "That time, it was this cruel Lu Yifeng dog barbarian who pretended to be our defeated army and succeeded in attacking Bajiang City and cut off the battle.  There are tens of thousands of Eight Banners athletes who died directly or indirectly in his hands on the road of the main force of the Qing Dynasty! Prince Kang, Prince Shun, Prince An, and Prince Pingnan, none of them did not hate him to the bone!  "

    Zhun Da was dumbfounded, and he said after a while: "So, the old thief Wu Sangui sent him to Wanwan Dike, is he determined to blow up the embankment and flood the city?"

    Tuhai, Labu and Tsani did not speak, and nodded together after a long while, expressing their agreement with this point of view.

    Although Fatty Lu himself did not expect that because of his appearance on the embankment of thousands of people, the commanders of the Qing army would unanimously believe that the Wu army would blow up the embankment and flood the city in all likelihood, but in the end, the decision-makers of the Qing army made up their minds to abandon Jingzhou.  , or the return of the scouts sent by the Qing army to scout the surrounding area-after the Qing army scouts paid a heavy price after the Wu army intercepted and killed them with all their strength, they discovered that the Wu army had sent a large number of cavalry to Shashi, Jiaodian, Haoxuekou and Jingzhou City.  In the Longwan area, the local people were ordered to move to high ground to avoid the coming torrential flood.  But when things got to this point, even the most treacherous and cunning Tuhai no longer insisted on continuing to stick to Jingzhou, but instead supported looking for opportunities to break through and preserve vitality for the main force of the Qing army.

    Without Tu Hai's objection, the proposal to abandon the city and break through the encirclement was finally passed unanimously by the decision-makers of the Qing army. However, when choosing the breakout time, Tu Hai disagreed with everyone's opinions.  Breaking out on the night of the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the reason is that the Wu army is about to blow up the embankment and will definitely transfer all the troops to the high ground. At this time, breaking out of the siege can minimize the blocking of the Wu army and minimize the loss of the army.  However, Tuhai is the opposite, tending to break through overnight on the sixth night of the twelfth lunar month.

    "My lord, please think about it carefully." In order to persuade La Bu, Tu Hai analyzed patiently: "If you are Wu Sangui's old thief, when do you think we are most likely to break through? It must be the night of the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month!  Because Wu Gou declared in advance that he would blow up the embankment on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, it is logically inferred that we will have the greatest chance of breaking through on the last night.  When our army breaks through the siege, we must immediately send troops to stop it. Only on the night of the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, because there is still one day and one night left, Wu Gou expected that our army would have to make a desperate struggle.  It is most beneficial for our army to break through at night."

    Tu Hai's analysis is very reasonable, including Shang Shan, who is at odds with Tu Hai, did not object, and La Bu quickly nodded, saying: "Then break out tomorrow night, the night of the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, but we will break out in that direction  What? The Jingmen in the north has been sacrificed to Wu Gou by Yang Jintai, and the Huya Pass is blocked by the natural danger of Huya Pass. We must not go there. Should we go to Yiling City in the west? Or Anlu Mansion in the northeast?  "

    "The Yiling Mausoleum just to the west!" Tu Hai was the first to answer.

    "Anlu in the northeast!" Chani, Shang Shan and Zhun Da replied in unison.

    "Why is there a disagreement again?" Labra's expression grew.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 260 Judging the Enemy Situation

    (ps: It¡¯s only now that I realize it¡¯s already February. I¡¯m asking for a monthly ticket, for a reward, and for my friends¡¯ continued support.)

    Waited on the embankment for nothing all afternoon, but Jingzhou came out of the city again to attack the embankment. Fatty Lu confessed that no one is allowed to move the bricks and stones of the Wandi embankment without his own order, and then set off quietly to return to the Wu army in the pile of gold.  main business.  Before leaving, General Wang Jun of Wu Jun Xinwu, who was sent by the old traitor Wu to assist Fatty Lu in blowing up the embankment, was a little worried. He pulled Fatty Lu by his sleeve and asked worriedly: "Master Lu, it's okay for you to go back to the camp, but you are full  What if the dogs attack the embankment at night? It¡¯s okay to say, our explosives are piled in the open air, in case a torch full of dogs is desperate to throw it up"

    "Why did the dogs come to attack the levee? Why did they burn our explosives?" Fatty Lu laughed, "The dogs came to attack the levee, not only at the risk of being annihilated by our army in field battles, but also because of our army's bombing of the embankment and flooding the city."  Even if Mangou can burn all the explosives here, we can still bring explosives from Duijintai camp to blow up the embankment, so the gain is not worth the loss, and the cunning Mangou can do it?"

    "The final general is confused, but the adults are wise." Wang Junji suddenly realized, and hurriedly said with a smile: "So, brothers can have a good rest tonight."

    "Have a good rest, but you must send more sentries, and you can sail for ten thousand years with care." Fatty Lu waved his hand, and explained a few words not to damage the levee at will, and then led a group of personal soldiers on horseback, and returned to the pile of gold overnight  Taiwan Daying visits old traitor Wu.

    After entering the heavily guarded main camp of the Wu army, and then in front of the brightly lit tent of the Chinese army, the old traitor Wu hadn't gone back to his tent to rest, but was studying the military situation with Wang Shirong, Wu Guogui, and Xia Guoxiang's confidants.  There is also Han Daren, who has recently gained the favor of the traitor Wu and Xia Guo, is also in the tent.  Seeing Fatty Lu entering the tent to salute, the old traitor Wu first waved Fatty Lu to get up, then turned to Wu Guogui with a smile and said, "Guogui, you are right as a father, right? Your son-in-law always puts business first, no matter what  No matter how late or how busy you are, you have to go back to the camp to learn about the military situation, you still don't believe it, and now you really come, don't you?"

    "Father's eyes are as bright as lightning, he knows people well, and this boy is really good." Wu Guogui was a little embarrassed, smiled forcedly, and glared at his son-in-law who had always disliked him who saluted him.  He shouted angrily: "Get up, how is the situation of Wandi?"

    "Back to father-in-law, everything is normal, and the errand assigned by grandfather went smoothly." Fatty Lu didn't know whether old traitor Wu had told Wu Guogui the truth, so his answer was very vague, and his attitude was very respectful, even a little trembling.  appearance.

    "Okay, Guogui, your son-in-law is not bad, so don't be mean to him all the time." The old traitor Wu saw Fatty Lu's restraint, so he smiled and said, "Don't be mean to him all day long."  Put on a good face, making him see you like a mouse seeing a cat, Yifeng is the son-in-law chosen for you by your father, are you disgusting that your father didn't choose for you?"

    "I don't dare." Wu Guogui hurriedly stood up and pleaded guilty.  The old traitor Wu laughed, beckoned Wu Guogui to sit down, and then waved to Fatty Lu to sit in the first seat on his right. Fatty Lu thanked him first, then got up and sat next to old traitor Wu, and fell  While sitting, Fatty Lu inadvertently saw Han Daren sitting next to Xia Guoxiang, his eyes flickered, and his expression seemed to be disdainful. Fatty Lu knew that he was jealous that he had won the trust of Old Man Wu, but he ignored it¡ª¡ª  Since ancient times, it is mediocrity not to attract envy.

    "Yifeng, the situation is the same as your analysis. Today, Mangou did not hesitate to rush to the Ten Thousand Dike, and sent a large number of scouts to the surrounding area to investigate the situation." Old traitor Wu seems to have informed Fatty Lu of his plan to defraud the enemy.  After gathering a few cronies, he directly asked Fatty Lu straight to the point: "In your opinion, is Man Gou convinced that our army is about to blow up the embankment and flood the city?"

    "Back to grandfather, there is at least an 80% possibility. Man Gou is convinced that our army has blown up the embankment!" Fatty Lu replied decisively: "Man Gou is now powerless to stop our army from blowing up the embankment. The only hope is that Grandpa, you are merciful."  He cared about the people and refused to blow up the embankment. But Man Gou himself is not upright and has a bad conscience. How can he understand and understand the painstaking efforts of his grandfather with the heart of a villain? So the son-in-law dares to conclude  , Tomorrow night or the night after tomorrow, Man Gou will definitely give up Jingzhou, and the whole army will break through!"

    Old Traitor Wu smiled and nodded, very satisfied with the answer given by Fatty Lu.  Wu Guogui reprimanded habitually: "Don't talk big, whether your bad idea will work or not will not be confirmed until the moment when Man Gou really abandons the city and breaks through! It doesn't matter if you are bragging here, and misled your grandfather's attitude towards the enemy.  If you judge me, your crime will be great.¡±

    Fatty Lu nodded submissively, but was extremely puzzled in his heart¡ª¡ªhis threeHe was ready to attack, but he was quite worried in his heart - if Mangou didn't break through tonight, then after a night of tossing in this bad weather, the physical exertion of the soldiers would definitely not be that small.  And if Fatty Lu really misjudged the direction of the Qing army's assault, then the Wu army who was basically unprepared in the northeast direction would not only be unable to stop the Qing army from blocking it, but even if they wanted to pursue it overnight, it would be much more difficult than usual.

    Nearly two o'clock, the Qing army in Jingzhou was still silent. The generals of the Wu army who gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army were waiting for the military order, but they were already so cold that they rubbed their hands and stomped their feet, sneezing constantly. Although the old traitor Wu sitting next to the brazier was temporarily fine  , but also felt very tired, and his eyelids kept fighting up and down.  While Xia Guoxiang, Han Daren and others rubbed their hands and shrunk their necks, they inevitably glared at Fatty Lu and complained in a low voice. Fatty Lu understood that it was useless to explain, but he just closed his fat eyes slightly and pretended not to see it, waiting patiently for the urgent report.

    In the middle of the second watch, there was still no movement in Jingzhou City. Although the generals of the Wu army did not dare to complain publicly, they inevitably murmured in a low voice.  It's cold, it's like dripping into ice, and the soldiers are gathering in the open air, it's really uncomfortable, don't you see"

    "No rush, just wait a little longer." Old Han Wu replied without opening his eyes.

    "Wait any longer, if Mangou doesn't break through tonight, then the soldiers will be miserable." Xia Guoxiang cried and said, "If you wait in the open air for a night in this kind of horrible weather, by tomorrow morning, I'm afraid at least half of them will suffer from frostbite.  man."

    Old traitor Wu still closed his eyes and refused to open them, but he hesitated in his heart, but at this moment, a loud voice suddenly sounded outside the tent, and a messenger rushed in, and before he could salute, he shouted loudly: "Qi  My lord, for some reason, fires erupted all over Jingzhou City! The fire is so intense that you can see it clearly from here!"

    "It's finally here." The old traitor Wu finally opened his cloudy old eyes, and some relaxed and satisfied smiles appeared on his ugly old face.

    "Which direction is Mangou breaking through?" Xia Guoxiang asked impatiently.

    "Which direction is the dog going to break through?" The messenger was stunned, and replied with a sad face: "Go back to General Xia, it's so far away, the villain can't see it."

 Chapter 261 - Frustrated

    ?

    "Return to General Xia, the distance is too far, the villain can't see where Man Gou is going to break through."

    The messenger replied with a mournful face, Xia Guoxiang was anxious and angry, and couldn't help but blurted out a trash, but the old traitor Wu took his time, got up and put on a cloak and strode out of the tent, and went outside the tent to look at the situation in Jingzhou in person.  The generals of Wu Jun who had been waiting in the big tent for a long time hurriedly followed out, and the previous resentment against Bai and others in the middle of the night was also swept away, replaced by excitement and admiration, only Han Daren was shocked and unbelievable, see  Looking at Fatty Lu's gaze was like seeing an alien.

    Get out of the big tent and take a closer look towards the east, as expected, in the direction of the night where the snowflakes are flying, the location of Jingzhou City is indeed full of thick smoke, and the flames are soaring into the sky, reflecting half of the sky like daytime, and you can faintly scream  The sound, it is obvious that the Qing army in Jingzhou has already handed over the Wu army's surveillance team outside the city, but because the distance is too far away and the night is dark and snowy, neither the shouts nor the fire can make the generals of the Wu army judge.  The specific direction for the Qing army to break out of Jingzhou.

    After a while, a fast horse rushed to the gate of the Chinese army's large tent. The cavalry rolled off the saddle and got off the horse. Without touching the ground, they rushed to the old traitor Wu and knelt down on one knee. Before he could catch his breath, he said loudly: "Qi  I report to my lord, Jingzhou Mangou suddenly left the city under the cover of night, and now they have engaged with our army Liu Zhifu's troops, General Liu Zhifu can't resist with few soldiers, so I beg your lord to send troops for reinforcements!"

    "Which direction is Mangou going to break through?" Old Man Wu asked treacherously.

    "Back to the lord, Mangou left the city through the four gates at the same time, and it is still impossible to judge their specific direction to break through!" The new orderly replied panting.

    "Quickly go and inquire, and report back as soon as you have news!" Old man Wu treacherously ordered, and the messenger rushed away in response.  The old traitor Wu first closed his eyes and calculated nervously, then opened them quickly and shouted: "Zu Shushun and Lu Yifeng obeyed the order, ordering you two to leave the camp with 10,000 infantry and go to the outside of Jingzhou City to reinforce Liu Zhifu's army.  Kill and break through the Mangou! Remember, do not fight to the death with the main force of the Mangou, try to rob and kill the Mangou auxiliary army, after breaking away from the main force of the Mangou, immediately go to the city to fight the fire, and try to save the food, grass and luggage in the city!"

    "Decree!" Zu Shushun and Fatty Lu clasped their fists in agreement, and hurriedly took the order and left.  The old traitor Wu shouted again: "Ma Bao, Xia Guoxiang, Wang Hui, Wu Zhen, He Ji, and Ke Duo listen to the order. Each of you six will lead the cavalry from your headquarters and leave the camp with less torches.  Canggang is in ambush, if the main force of Manchu breaks through to Yiling, don't block it in the right way, let the head go, rob and kill its waist, try to kill as many Mangou as possible for this old man!"

    "Decree!" The six generals Ma Bao and Xia Guoping agreed together, and each took their orders and left.  The old traitor Wu turned to Wang Shirong and ordered: "Send people to Wandi to contact Gao Dejie and Tao Jizhi, and order them to lead their own cavalry to fight and intercept the Man Gou breakout army. But remember, don't intercept Man Gou in the right way.  The front team can only rush to kill the rear team full of dogs!"

    "Students will do it right away." Wang Shirong agreed, but then hesitated: "But my lord, the direction of Mangou's breakout has not yet been determined"

    "The sky is so dark and the snow is so heavy, the day lily will be cold when the direction of Mangou's breakout is determined!" Old man Wu snorted coldly, "The opportunity to fight is fleeting, let's do it now!"

    Wang Shirong agreed, and hurriedly arranged for a galloping horse to pass the order, and the old traitor Wu, who had planned to eat the whole army of dogs one by one, turned to the rest of the generals and said, "All go back to the tent with the king. When the situation is clear, the king  I'll assign you errands."

    The remaining generals of the Wu army agreed together, and all followed the old traitor Wu to return to the tent and waited. Only Han Daren hesitated for a moment, looking at the fire in Jingzhou in the distance, with extremely complicated emotions.  Fatty Lu also judged the direction of Mangou's breakthrough correctly, allowing Wu Jun to gnaw out the main force of Jingzhou Mangou one by one, but deep down in his heart, there were inevitably some gloating expectations

    As the wind and snow intensified, the sound of shouts and explosions from a distance became more and more intense. But until all the troops of the Wu army left the camp and rushed to the predetermined battlefield to participate in the battle or ambush, there was still no new news from the Jingzhou battlefield.  .  Faced with such a chaotic situation, the old traitor Wu, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, is better. He can still maintain a calm mind and wait patiently.  Keep looking out, hoping that accurate news will come as soon as possible, so that we can show our skills on the battlefield and take advantage of the fire to beat the dogs in the water.

    Fortunately, God probably discovered his conscience, and finally did not continue to torture the generals of the Wu army too much. After about a stick of incense, there were hurried and excited footsteps outside the tent.  The disgruntled Wu Jun's messengers rushed into the big tent, knelt down impatiently in front of the tent, and played loudly: "Report to the lord, the direction of Mangou's breakout has been confirmed.The wild came, and the leader, General Wu Jun, immediately laughed, "My stinky son-in-law really has his own way! Man Gou is really coming this way!"

    "It's over!" Tutang fell headlong from his horse and wailed frantically, "Where is the problem? Why did Wu Gou expect us to break through to Yiling? How is it possible? How is this possible?!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Since Sheng Yu, He Shengliang?!"

    Also mourning was Han Daren, the most unlucky general in the Wu army. He led 5,000 infantry through wind and snow.  The army turned out to be all ordinary people in Jingzhou city disguised under the flag of the Qing army, and the leaders were only two ordinary civil servants, Li Yushang, the prefect of Jingzhou, and Zhang Xiusheng, the same magistrate!  And after being caught up by Han Daren, the two unlucky guys didn't even resist, and immediately surrendered on the road with the guards and miscellaneous soldiers, explaining with snot and tears that the matter came from Labu and Tuhai's coercion, begging Han  Daren must not hurt ordinary people, so that Han Daren has no one to vent his anger on.

    "Lu Yifeng, you are taller than me¡ª!" Han Daren wailed again, "Since Shengyu, He Shengliang! Since Shengyu, He Shengliang¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª?!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 262 The Qing Court's Response

    ?

    (ps: Tomorrow, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I wish all my friends a happy Lantern Festival in advance. In addition, because I will go out to celebrate the Lantern Festival tomorrow, tomorrow's update, Pure Wolf will fight for it!)

    The twists and turns of the Jingzhou war really tortured our poor Kang Mazi and the even more pitiful heart. At the beginning, the defeated troops of Tuhai and Chani fled to Jingzhou, and the Wu army did not give them a chance to breathe.  The Ministry joined forces to attack Jingzhou.  When the news spread to the capital, Kang Mazi scolded Wu Jun for being a coward, and Wu Sangui, an old thief, was shameless and despicable.  foregone conclusion.

    Don't talk about the military idiot Kang Mazi, even Zhou Chang and Zhou Peigong, who claimed to be the reincarnation of Zhuge and Zhang Liang, believed that Jingzhou's defeat was doomed, and there was no chance of recovery-because Zhou Peigong analyzed from a strategic point of view and found that Jingzhou was very important to Wu Jun.  It is too important. If this nail is not pulled out, the Sichuan Wu Army and the Huguang Wu Army will not be able to form a line. The main force of the Wu Army who finally broke through the Yangtze River defense line will not be able to withdraw from the Northern Expedition or expand the results in other directions. No matter how much the old thief Wu Sangui pays  No matter the price, they will definitely do their best to win Jingzhou in the shortest time, and will not leave the Qing court with the slightest chance of luck.

    From a tactical point of view, the situation on the Jingzhou battlefield is even more unfavorable for the Qing army. First, the natural danger of the Yangtze River has been broken by the Wu army.  There is only one Xu Zhidu naval division left around Jingzhou, with few soldiers and few boats. The Qing army's biggest reliance on the Yangtze River natural danger on the Jingzhou battlefield has been unable to stop the Wu army's iron cavalry.  Secondly, the Labu and Shangshan troops of the Qing army stationed in Jingzhou were not too powerful. The defeated soldiers brought into Jingzhou by Tuhai and Chani were frightened by the Wu army.  Jingzhou provided strong support, and at the same time, the other main forces of the Qing army could not quench their thirst. Whether the desperate Jingzhou Qing army could survive ten days under the strong attack of the Wu army's main force was probably a big problem.

    The initial development of the war seems to confirm the expectations of Kang Mazi and Zhou Peigong, especially the defection of Yang Jintai, the general of Xiangyang, dealt a fatal blow to Kang Mazi and Zhou Peigong, and made them completely desperate for the Jingzhou campaign.  But at this time, Xu Zhidu, the general soldier of Yiling who was almost forgotten by the Qing court, jumped out, joined hands with his traitor wife, and severely damaged the Wu army navy and Songzi Wu army on the water, and won the victory for Kang Mazi.  The biggest victory of the Qing army since the war with the Wu army!

    After receiving this news, Kang Mazi was overjoyed and decreed that Xu Zhidu would be promoted to four ranks and named Zuo Dudu. He inevitably had some illusions about the Jingzhou battlefield¡ª¡ªCan the Qing army in Jingzhou be like the neighboring Xiangyang in history?  In that way, like the Lu Wende brothers who were wantonly insulted and vilified by the packers, did the Qing court contain the main force of the Wu army for a long time?  Kang Mazi also doesn't want Labu and Shangshan to be like the Lu Wende brothers, who withstood the mad attack from half the world for six years with the strength of an isolated city.  After living in the main force of the Wu army for half a year, the desperate Qing court will be able to win a turning point!

    Hope does not seem to be slim. For a long period of time, Kang Mazi was surprised and pleasantly received several victory reports from Jingzhou.  Relying on Jingzhou Jiancheng and Xu Zhidu's strong support and cooperation from the water, Hai and others even defeated the Wu army under the Jingzhou city.  At the same time, the Zhunda reinforcements, who were almost doomed to arrive at the battlefield in time, finally arrived at Jingmen, and in turn surrounded the traitor Yang Jintai and Wu Jun Liu Zhifu.  The dawn of Wu Jun.

    Naturally, such a good opportunity cannot slip away. Zhou Peigong exclaimed that God bless the Qing Dynasty, and quickly suggested to Kang Mazi to continue to send more reinforcements to Jingzhou, and strive to turn the local battles in Jingzhou into large-scale battles, forcing the Wu army to draw troops from the east and west.  Reinforce Jingzhou. In this way, even if the Wu army wins the final victory in the Jingzhou battle, it will lose precious time for a comprehensive counterattack. Even if the Qing court fails in the Jingzhou battle, it will still be able to win precious time for strategic adjustment. All crises except Jingzhou will be resolved.  .  And Kang Mazi did not live up to the expectations of his good friends. Not only did he immediately decide to continue to send troops from the Shaanxi-Gansu battlefield to go south to the Jingzhou battlefield for reinforcements, but he also decided to let the Packed Army on the grassland return to the army urgently and go south to Jingzhou for reinforcements with the Mongolian friendly army.

    The Mongolian allies that Kang Mazi was referring to were naturally the private soldiers of various tribes on the Mongolian grasslands. In order to quell the Burni Rebellion, Kang Mazi ordered the Mongolian tribes to send troops. As a result, tens of thousands of troops were gathered at once to help the Baoyi army kill Burni  Ni made a great contribution, this will resolve the crisis on the northern front, and the crisis on the southern front will break out. Naturally, Kang Mazi has no choice but to play the idea of ??friends in the grassland.  And Kang Mazi was not disappointed in the end.?The old thief of Sangui chooses Jiangnan as the main attack direction, and our Qing Dynasty is in danger!  "

    Kang Mazi was shocked, and his face began to show a worried look - the current situation of the Qing court really cannot tolerate any mistakes in Jiangnan.  But Mingzhu came out on her knees, kowtowed and said: "Master, this slave thinks that this matter is not difficult to solve. Master can order Tong Guogang's 50,000 troops to immediately go south to Daming Mansion or Dongchang Mansion to wait for orders, so that everything will be safe. If Wu Dog attacks with the main force  In Jiangnan, the army can go south along the canal to reinforce Jiangnan. If Wugou attacks Shaanxi and Gansu, the army can go west and reach Shaanxi and Gansu for reinforcements. If Wugou's main force goes directly north to Henan, the army can arrive at the battlefield in an instant to stop."

    "Wonderful." Kang Mazi's eyes lit up, and he said, "This is a surefire solution."

    "Master, don't do it." Zhou Peigong was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded: "Wu Dog wants to fight quickly, and the army must be very fast. If you wait until you find out the movement of Wu Dog's main force before reacting, it may be too late. According to the slave's opinion,  General Tong Guogang's 50,000 troops should immediately march westward, pass through Shanxi to Shaanxi and Gansu, and rush to the battlefield as soon as possible, so that Wu Gou's quick-witted plan cannot succeed!"

    "Then what if Wu Dog's main force attacks Jiangnan?" Suo'etu asked viciously.

    "Back to Suo Zhongtang, the servant has already analyzed it just now, and Wu Gou will not choose Jiangnan as the main attack direction." Zhou Peigong asked neither humble nor overbearing: "If Suo Zhongtang did not understand, the servant can repeat it carefully."

    "Stop talking." Kang Mazi interrupted the argument between Suo'etu and Zhou Peigong with a wave of his hand, and said sinisterly: "Jiangnan is a financial and taxation-heavy place, and there is no room for any mistakes! Just follow Mingzhu's method and let Tong Guogang's 50,000 troops go south  Order of the Daming Mansion."

    "Master" Zhou Peigong was still a little unwilling to give up.

    "Shut up, I've already said that there is no room for mistakes in Jiangnan!" Kang Mazi suddenly raised his voice, causing Zhou Peigong to shrink his head in fright, but Kang Mazi suddenly slowed down his voice, "Zhou Aiqing, you don't have to worry, I will give you the best of luck!"  Give Tong Guogang the right to make decisions on the fly, and once you have confirmed the attack direction of Wugou's main force in the Daming Mansion, you can send troops immediately without requesting an order."

    "Zha, the slave obeys the order." Zhou Peigong agreed helplessly, but he muttered in his heart: "If you do this, you can only save six or seven days at most-these six or seven days, don't take our Shaanxi-Gansu main force.  life."

    "Let's do this, Zhang Ying, draw up the decree quickly, and I will use the seal myself." Kang Mazi sighed, waved his hand to let Zhang Ying draw up the decree, and looked at the snowy sky outside the door.  Fatty's ugly face, which is enough to make people vomit, said bitterly in his heart: "Lu Yifeng, you dog thief! It's you again, it's you again! The scourge! You are really the number one scourge in my Qing Dynasty!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 263 Seeking Generals on a Snowy Night

    ?

    In fact, Fatty Lu is definitely not the only one staring at the opportunity to lead the army alone. Among the Wu army, which has never been short of veterans on the battlefield, there are definitely not a few who are qualified, capable and ambitious to take the opportunity to lead the army alone. Naturally, they will not miss this opportunity.  Godsend.

    It's not that all the generals in the Wu army are like Lu Fatty, who are so stubborn. Since the day they joined the Wu army, they have been holding back while using the Wu army while looking for opportunities to stand on their own. The key is that the benefits of leading the army alone are too many, prestige  Needless to say, Bamian is high-ranking and powerful. You don¡¯t have to look at the face of your boss and coach every day and don¡¯t say anything. In addition, if you lose a battle, you can find your subordinates to take the blame.  The advantages of choosing by yourself, etc., these are really very attractive to Lao Qiuba in the Wu army.

    The opportunity finally came. Wu Jun blatantly played the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming, cut his braids and hair, and pulled out the hard nail in Jingzhou. Everyone knows that Wu Jun's full-scale counterattack is imminent, and there is definitely more than one way to counterattack-this point  From the experience of the battle in Jingzhou, it can be easily seen that in the disadvantaged situation of using less to attack and more troops, the old traitor Wu refused to mobilize the nearby Yuezhou garrison and Wuchang garrison for reinforcements, and he did not mobilize the war.  The Hengzhou garrison and Sichuan garrison with sufficient troops reinforced the Jingzhou battlefield. This was enough for the old traitor Wu not to disrupt the strategic deployment.

    At present, only the old traitor Wu and his absolute cronies Hu Guozhu, Fang Guangchen and others know how many attacks Wu Jun will launch at the same time, but one thing is absolutely certain.  There are definitely not enough points for coaching candidates.  Because there are too many people eyeing this position, the four major Jinwu generals and the four pro-army generals are all qualified. Among the eight, except Wu Shizongyuan who must dominate all the way in Guangxi, the other seven are all squatting along the Yangtze River battlefield  This means that, except for the old and frail Jinwu Empress General Zhao Zhaoyang, all of them are popular candidates to lead the army alone.

    In addition, there are Ma Bao, the head of the Wu army's four great cavalry generals, Wei Pu and Tao Jizhi, who have always been trusted by Wu old traitors, and Liu Hongyi, Liu Zhifu, Gao Dejie, and Han Daren, who have performed extremely well recently.  Wu Zhimao, Tan Hong, and Li Benshen in the Sichuan battlefield were all candidates for the dark horse level coaches. Among them, Ma Bao, who was good at cavalry warfare and had experience in commanding troops alone, was even more popular than the traitorous sons and nephews of Old Wu.  Fatty Lu, who is still inexperienced, wants to stand out from so many candidates and get a piece of cake. The difficulty is no less difficult than fighting the Jingzhou or Wuchang battles again.

    There were too many monks and too little porridge. Almost at the end of the Jingzhou War, the generals of the Wu army, who seemed to be united on the surface, began to fight openly and secretly. The most promising Wu Guogui, Xia Guoxiang, Ma Bao, Wu Yingjing, Zu Shushun and others competed every day in front of the old Wu traitor.  Needless to say, Tao Jizhi, Liu Hongyi and other generals are also digging around, showing off in front of the old traitor Wu with the credit they have made all the time, and begging the old traitor Wu to give them a chance.

    Even Han Daren, who was played by Tu Hai and almost lost his confidence, but because of the old traitor Wu accidentally named him the third meritorious service for capturing the Jingzhou magistrate and Tongzhi, and named him General Renwu and concurrently  Bing Cao's palm seal became the third official in the Wu army who concurrently held civil and military positions, which made him rekindle his fighting spirit and ambition, and joined the battle for the head coach of the army alone, using his good relationship with Xia Guoxiang and Hu Guozhu to flatter Wu old traitors  , in an attempt to get a share of it.

    Competitors have already been fighting openly and secretly at full speed, but poor Fatty Lu didn't find the opportunity to mention this matter in front of Old Traitor Wu until the day of the wedding because of the wedding preparations. Unfortunately, Old Traitor Wu's answer was ambiguous, neither  Blocking Fatty Lu's hopes, he didn't hint that he would give Fatty Lu a chance. Fatty Lu stomped his feet anxiously, but he was helpless.

    Fatty Lu himself is not the only one who is anxious for the opportunity of Fatty Lu to lead the army alone. Wang Shaobo, Zhu Fangdan and Li Tianzhi of Lu Fatty's direct line are also extremely anxious, and they don't want to miss the opportunity to follow Fatty Lu.  The next day, Fatty Lu's absolute cronies took advantage of Fatty Lu's wedding leave to rest at home, and jointly visited Fatty Lu's house, giving advice and bad ideas to Fatty Lu, and instigating Fatty Lu to seize the commander.

    Four people, Wang Shaobo, Zhu Fangdan, Li Tianzhi and Hu Tongchun joined hands to visit¡ªsince Line Yuer's identity was exposed, the lineage that Line Yuer brought to Fatty Lu from Guangxi was handed over to Hu Tongchun to lead, and the line Yuer's father and daughter  The loyal Hu Tongchun naturally took the place of Line Yuer and became Fatty Lu's important assistant on the battlefield. Such a major event involved the fundamental interests of the Guangxi Wu army, so it was impossible for Hu Tongchun to ignore it.  And pass??.  Moreover, the grandson-in-law hates the Manchu court, and the Mangou must kill the grandson-in-law quickly, and the grandfather knows better than anyone else that the grandson-in-law leads the army, so there is no doubt about his loyal grandfather!  This is the grandson-in-law's first point that others can't match!  "

    "Barely counted." Old man Wu smiled treacherously, and asked again: "What about the second one?"

    "The second is ability!" Fatty Lu replied loudly: "Since my grandson joined his grandfather, in the past seven years, his son-in-law has been born and died for his grandfather countless times. No matter how hard the job is, he has never complained! No matter how much the job is  Difficulties, even including the errands that the grandfather has no confidence in achieving the goal, the grandson-in-law has tried every means to achieve it for the grandfather. He has never failed, and has never disappointed his grandfather! This is the second point of the grandson-in-law that no one else can do.  urgent!"

    "You bastard, make it sound like you are omnipotent." The old man Wu smiled even wider, and waved his hand again: "Does this count, let alone, your others can't match the third  What's the point?"

    "It's wisdom!" Fatty Lu answered faster, "My son-in-law never sticks to stereotypes in military affairs and political affairs.  Others can't match three!"

    "Damn it!" Old Han Wu laughed and scolded, "You said it as if you were better than anyone else. Do you want to say that including your grandfather, I am not as good as you?"

    "Son-in-law doesn't dare!" Fatty Lu quickly kowtowed and flattered him: "Grandfather's martial arts, mighty, brave, and clever strategies are beyond the reach of my grandson-in-law!  In the army, there is a battlefield where only grandson-in-law is competent except for grandfather leading the army himself, no matter who goes there, it is impossible to do better than grandson-in-law!"

    "Damn it, you said you were fat and you were panting. When did you become so arrogant, little fat man?" Old man Wu laughed treacherously, and asked again: "Then tell me, on that battlefield, only the king himself  Apart from leading the army, only you can do it? Can it be done by anyone else?"

    "Northern Jiangxi battlefield!" Fatty Lu replied loudly: "The Manchu army has now concentrated on the Shaanxi-Gansu and Northern Jiangxi battlefields.  The city is defended, and there is the natural danger of Poyang Lake to rely on, so it is difficult to attack and defend! Unless my grandfather leads the main force of our army to conquer, otherwise it will be as difficult for our army to capture northern Jiangxi and go straight to the south of the Yangtze River!"

    Old Traitor Wu suppressed his smile and stared at Fatty Lu carefully. His eagle eyes gleamed under the light of the charcoal fire, as sharp as if they were piercing into Fatty Lu's internal organs.  After a long time, the old traitor Wu asked in a hoarse voice: "If the king sends you to the battlefield in northern Jiangxi, what can you do for the king?"

    "Jin Ke's grandfather went straight to Nanjing, and captured the richest place in the south of the Yangtze River!" Fatty Lu also brazenly bragged, and said loudly: "Shou Ke's grandfather captured Nanchang and Jiujiang, and ensured that his grandfather's backyard is safe and sound!  Contain the main force of the south of the Yangtze River for my grandfather, so that he has no time to divide his troops, and create a fighting opportunity for my grandfather's army from all walks of life!"

    "If you retire, my grandson-in-law will protect the army for my grandfather, and I will never return in a disastrous defeat, causing the situation to deteriorate and ruining my grandfather's good situation! In this regard, my grandson-in-law is confident that no one can do better than my grandson-in-law for my grandfather!"

    After finishing speaking, Fatty Lu kowtowed three times again, and looked up at Old Traitor Wu, while Old Traitor Wu continued to stare at Fatty Lu, but did not speak. The pavilion was so quiet that even a needle dropped on the ground could be heard clearly  .

    "Grandfather also believes that this is the case." The old traitor Wu finally said, and made a decision with a huge impact with a smile, "In the most difficult and important battlefield in northern Jiangxi, there is indeed no second person in our army who can  Doing better than you. ¡ª¡ªSo, grandfather has decided that you will be the chief general of the Eastern Route Army."

 Chapter 264: Lu Sanhao, General Who Conquers the East

    ?

    After repeated weighing and deliberation by the traitor Wu, on the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month in the twelfth year of Kang Mazi, the much-anticipated list of the commanders of the various armies of the Wu army was finally released and publicly announced to the southwest Wu army.

    According to Zhou Pei's public information, the old traitor Wu did indeed adopt a vicious tactic of attacking from multiple directions at the same time, attacking in as many as six directions, and simultaneously launched attacks on Hanzhong in Shaanxi, northern Huguang, central Henan, northwestern Jiangxi, southwestern Jiangxi, and Guangdong!  With a total force of more than 200,000 troops, almost every road is inevitable, and every road is menacing!  The long defense line of the Qing court was in emergency and crisis everywhere, so that in a hurry, Kang Mazi, who had the manpower and material resources of the whole country, couldn't find enough troops to cover everything and fortify everywhere, so he could only face the difficult choice of taking or giving up!

    The specific personnel adjustments and the list of the head coaches of the Wu Army are as follows: The old traitor Wu led 30,000 troops from the Three Gorges into Sichuan from the Three Gorges with Wang Hui and Wu Zhen as vanguards.  Hanzhong, an important town in Shaanxi, launched an attack with a total force of more than 90,000!  This is the first road, and it is also the most inevitable road!

    Wu Guogui was promoted to Jingzhou President General, with 45,000 old and new troops under his command. Tao Jizhi, Liu Zhifu, and Yang Laijia were appointed as his deputy.  Create fighter opportunities for the main force of the old traitor Wu.  This is the second way!

    Xia Guoxiang named Pingdong General, led an army of 40,000, with Zhang Guozhu, Liu Hongyi, Chen Yao, and Qiu Shanwo as his deputy, and sent troops from Hengzhou to attack Yuanzhou and Ji'an in the south of Jiangxi.  The land contact of Wu Geng and Zheng made the three most steadfast anti-Qing armies join forces, completely cut off all ties between the Qing army in Guangdong and the Qing court, and it is gratifying to isolate and surround the number one traitor!  This is the fourth way!

    Wu Yingqi's concubine Wu Shizong was named General of Zhennan, and his deputy Dong Zhongmin was named Governor of Guangdong and Admiral of Guangdong. Together with Ma Xiong, the governor of Guangxi, they sent 30,000 troops to attack the hinterland of Guangdong via Wuzhou.  He cut his braids and raised his troops, and commanded the troops of Gaozhou and Lianzhou to attack Luoding and Zhaoqing.  At the same time, the old traitor Wu wrote a letter to Zheng Jing of Taiwan and Liu Jinzhong, the general soldier of Chaozhou, ordering them to join forces to attack Huizhou and attack the Qing army in Guangdong on three sides!  This is the least unexpected way in terms of personnel selection, and it is also the way for Wu Jun to completely eliminate hidden dangers in the rear.

    The candidate for the commander of the Fifth Route is Ma Bao, the favorite general of the old traitor Wu. The traitor Wu ordered him to lead an army of 15,000 from Wuchang and Hanyang to the north to invade and occupy the hinterland of Henan, which was empty of the Qing army, and cut off the two main forces of the Qing army, Shaanxi.  The connection between the Gan Qing army and the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River, and looking for opportunities to advance eastward to Anhui or westward to Shaanxi-Gansu, disrupted the deployment of Qing troops and the transfer of grain and grass, and played a wonderful role in containing the Qing army's national strength.

    In terms of this personnel arrangement, it can also be seen that the old traitor Wu is indeed superior in employing people. Ma Bao, who once served under the command of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Dingguo, is best at fighting fleeing battles.  Entering the Central Henan Plain, not only can the mite clear the hinterland and turn the world upside down, but also the possibility of being surrounded and wiped out by the Qing army is the smallest. Even if you can't beat it, you can go to other places where the Qing army is weak and continue to harass!

    ? In addition, the old traitor Wu appointed Hu Guozhu as the president general of Yuezhou, and commanded 30,000 troops to guard Yuezhou as the general reserve of the whole army to protect the safety of the rear of Pianyuan.  He also appointed Wu Yingqi as the Presidential General of Wuchang, and also led an army of more than 30,000 troops as backup on the East and North Roads, forming a double insurance with Hu Guozhu's army to ensure the safety of Wu's army in five provinces and one government.

    The selection of the coaches of the above-mentioned five routes and the left-behind divisions did not exceed everyone's expectations, and no one dared to raise doubts and objections.  Most of the generals were unavoidably surprised¡ªeven Kang Mazi and the Qing court were also taken aback by this, because this man was named the General of the Wu Army to Conquer the East, led the four armies of water, land, infantry, and cavalry, and attacked northern Jiangxi, which was heavily defended by the Qing army.  The chief general of the Wu army in the area is actually Lu Yifeng, who has just been in Pingxi Palace for seven years and has a good character!

    "What? Lu Yifeng?! Lu Yifeng led the army to attack northern Jiangxi?! Did I hear correctly?!"

    When the old traitor Wu announced this decision to the generals of the Wu army in the lobby, there was a whirlwind of exclamations among the generals of the Wu army.  Such a decision was made to let a rookie who had just been in the team for seven years be in charge of the most important battlefield.  The exclamations and boos were so intense that even Fatty Lu, the person involved, was a little embarrassed¡ªhis qualifications were indeed too shallow.

    "Old Taishan, are you kidding me?" Xia Guoxiang, whose personality is only slightly better than Wu Yingqi's, was the most impatient.  Nanchang Jiujiang Poyang Lake? Is the son-in-law an ear?The newlywed wife Wu Xiaotu led Gao Dejie, Han Daren and other generals to bid farewell to the old Wu traitor, and went eastward with Ma Bao to Wuchang to gather an army to conquer northern Jiangxi.

    At the time of parting, Fatty Lu and all the generals of the Wu army kowtowed to old traitor Wu together, and then solemnly kowtowed three times to old traitor Wu alone.  I couldn't hold back the tears in my eyes.  Seeing this scene, old traitor Wu couldn't help laughing and said, "If you have something to say, talk it out, what's there to cry about?"

    "Grandfather" Fatty Lu's lips trembled for a moment, and he managed to find an excuse, "Grandfather, although it's nothing to worry about, your old man is old and your journey will be bumpy. Wanwang, grandpa, take care of yourself."  Yuti, you must dress and eat on time, and you must not be cold, hungry Son-in-law, also, you must see the day when your grandfather set the tripod in the Central Plains, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, that day."

    Speaking of this, Fatty Lu was already sobbing, and the vicious and ruthless old traitor Wu was also rarely touched, nodded and said: "Okay, grandfather promised you that he will take care of himself during the journey, but you have to promise grandfather, you will also  You have to take good care of your body. Don¡¯t think that you are not afraid of anything when you are young. If you have any serious illness at this time, it will be a lifetime thing. Don¡¯t be like before. Don¡¯t care about everything when you start an errand, even eating  I forgot about sleeping."

    "Son-in-law, I would like to follow the teachings of my grandfather." Fatty Lu agreed with a forced smile, but his tears still couldn't help rolling down.

    "Okay, grandfather is gone." Old man Wu patted Fatty Lu on the shoulder, then turned around and boarded the pier, and boarded a boat from the pier to go west to Sichuan.  Looking at the old traitor Wu's old back that had already begun to show his rickets in the wind and snow, a premonition that haunted Fatty Lu for several days could not help but come to mind again.

    "Old traitor Wu, we are finally going to part." Fatty Lu murmured in his heart: "This parting may be the last time we see each other. From now on, we may never have the chance to see each other again."  .¡±

    "I have hated you, flattered you, and respected you. In the future, I will definitely go to your spirit, drink a glass of wine for you, and give you a fair evaluation."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    With this complicated mind in mind, Fatty Lu embarked on the road back to Wuchang, where he was going to gather an army, and start his free and earth-shattering soaring journey like a dragon entering the sea.  However, when Fatty Lu gradually assembled an army in Wuchang Mansion to prepare for the Eastern Expedition, the news that he was personally appointed by the old traitor Wu as the commander of the Wu Army's Eastern Expedition has been sent to him in secret and in the open and in the future through various channels.  In front of enemies and friends, after hearing the news, these people's reactions and evaluations are also very different.

    "Lu Yifeng, a dog thief, is Wu Gou's head of Zhengdong? Well, dog thief, the blood of the Eight Banners soldiers has finally stained your leader!" Kang Mazi commented like this, and then Kang Mazi asked the Qing army in Jiangxi  The so-called imperial decree was issued - whoever kills Fatty Lu will be promoted to three ranks, given a viscount, and rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!  Whoever captures Fatty Lu alive and presents it in the capital will be promoted to five ranks, given to Earl, and rewarded with 20,000 taels of silver!

    "Wu Sangui is crazy? Appoint Lu Yifeng as Zhengdong's coach? What else will this Fatty Lu do besides shooting horses and planting Eight Banners? His North Jiangxi East Route Army is waiting for the entire army to be wiped out!" Geng Jingzhong commented.

    "Lu Yifeng is the coach of Zhengdong? Old man Wu Sangui, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd? Could it be that he wants to borrow a knife to kill people?" Zheng Jing was skeptical.

    "Old thief Wu Sangui! Why didn't you send Lu Yifeng's thief to Guangdong!" Shang Kexi slapped the table and shouted.

    "It's troublesome, our main force in the south of the Yangtze River is somewhat troublesome." Zhou Peigong was a little worried, and even had the idea of ??encouraging Tong Guogang to ignore the main force of the Wu army for the time being, and lead the Baoyi army south to Jiangxi to cooperate with the Jiangxi Qing army to wipe out the fat army.

    "The battlefield in northern Jiangxi, my Qing army may never have peace." Tu Hai, who had escaped back to Jiujiang by chance, was also a little worried-that day on the battlefield of Manao River, Tu Hai changed into civilian clothes and jumped into the river to escape.  He was rescued by an ordinary civilian ship that happened to pass by here. Seeing that he was disabled and his whole body was blue from the cold, he showed kindness and did not report to Wu Jun.  Unexpectedly, after the civilian ship docked, Tuhai encountered several defeated Qing soldiers who were killed by the Wu army, and Tuhai decisively organized these defeated Qing soldiers to kill the owner and his family, seize the civilian ship and pretend to be ordinary people.  Fleeing down the river, he fled back to Jiujiang City, which was controlled by the Qing army.

    "Fuck!" The first batch of enemies of Fatty Lu's Eastern Expedition, Mite Qing Beizi Zhangtai and Jiangxi Governor Dong Weiguo, while spitting to show their disdain for Fatty Lu, followed Kang Mazi's order, put Tu Hai into the prison car, and escorted him to the prison.  The capital was handed over to the Qing court for punishment.

    "Brother Sanhao, what step do you have to go wrong to realize that you have lost your way?!" Han Shangshu Wang Xu, the Minister of War of the Qing court, shouted up to the sky.

    "Brother Sanhao, why did you come to northern Jiangxi? If we meet again, how should I face you?" In Nanjing City, an official of the Qing Dynasty was in pain and complicated, so he could only comfort himself secretly, "No, we  We will definitely not meet again. There are three important towns in the upper reaches of Nanjing, Anqing, Jiujiang and Nanchang, all of which are guarded by our Qing soldiers. I don¡¯t believe you can be so powerful. You can break through the three ways of our Qing Dynasty with less attack and more attacks.  The line of defense reached the city of Nanjing. I believe that you will not be able to do it."

 Chapter 265 Be Careful

    ?

    "Ah! Thirty years of fame and fame, eight thousand miles of roads, clouds and moons! Aspirations eat barbarian meat hungry, and jokes thirsty for mite blood! I would like to defend the land and open up the frontiers, and the majestic China will let it go. The Quartet¡ªcome to congratulate!"

    Before he had time to step into the territory of Jiangxi, Fatty Lu, who was overjoyed, already stretched his arms high, looked up to the sky and sighed, and the domineering and domineering villain was beyond words!  Seeing Fatty Lu's appearance, Fatty Lu's absolute confidantes Wang Shaobo, Zhu Fangdan, Li Tianzhi, Yuer Yuer, and Xiao Erlang were all smiling and flattering, lamenting that Fatty Lu had worked with them for many years to become a wife.  , Keeping the clouds and mists in the middle of the sky, I finally looked forward to today, and survived until today.

    "Bah!" Not everyone is a sycophant, including Fatty Lu's subordinates¡ªat least Fatty Lu's direct subordinate, Han Daren, spit heavily, and sneered at Fatty Lu's humble appearance.

    Fatty Lu's 40,000-strong army set off from Wuchang on the fourteenth day of the first month of the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi in the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They entered Jiangxi by water and land.  Fatty Lu personally led the way, with his confidant Hutongchun as the vanguard, General Wang Xu as the food security officer, via Xingguo County, where the famous minister Hai Rui once served as the county magistrate, and marched straight into Jiangxi.  ¡ªJiujiang Mansion, Jiangxi Province!

    At the time of departure, it was obvious that Han Daren, who was sent by the old traitor Wu to mix sand as an eyeliner, also raised objections, thinking that Jiujiang should not be the battlefield for the first battle of the Eastern Expedition of the Fatty Army, but two hundred and seven south of Jiujiang.  The purpose of Nanchang City, ten miles away, is of course to defeat the Qing army in northern Jiangxi. Even if the Qing army in northern Jiangxi sent troops to rescue, it could only use the Jiujiang army and dare not use the Anqing Qing army, which is farther away. The pressure on the fat army is relatively small.  , There is also a second choice for besieging the city and fighting for aid.

    Han Daren's suggestion is also reasonable, it may take a long time but it is relatively safe, but Fatty Lu has another opinion, he believes that his own army has less refined food and can only fight quickly rather than procrastinate, although it is safe to attack Nanchang first, but  Time will inevitably be delayed for a long time, and it will also lengthen the grain road, which will give the Qing army a chance to rob grain, which is very unfavorable.  Only by directly attacking Jiujiang, not only is the grain road short and close, but it can also induce the Qing army in Nanchang and the Qing army in Anqing to rescue Jiujiang, annihilate the main forces of the Qing army in the two places in the field battlefield where the Wu army is good at, and lay the foundation for future wars.  It can play a role in preventing the Qing court from sending reinforcements to reinforce northern Jiangxi.

    Facing Fatty Lu's unreasonable reasoning, Han Daren was furious, and inevitably scolded Fatty Lu for being too greedy, but Fatty Lu is now Han Daren's boss, and Han Daren's good friends Xia Guoxiang and Hu Guozhu are not in Wuchang, but they are based in Wuchang  Wu Yingqi is still a loyal friend of Fatty Lu, and it is absolutely impossible to speak for Han Daren and interfere with Fatty Lu's tactical choices, so Han Daren had no choice but to obey his orders and accompany Fatty Lu, Gao Dejie and others to lead the Chinese army  , all the way to the east and kill directly towards Jiujiang.

    The situation of Fatty is basically introduced. Let¡¯s briefly introduce the situation of Fatty Lu¡¯s hapless opponents. You can see from the map that northern Jiangxi can be said to be the only barrier for the Qing army to defend the Wu army from invading Jiangnan. Therefore, since the beginning of the war, Mite Qing  The imperial court and Kang Mazi have always paid more and more attention to the northern Jiangxi battlefield. At the moment when the Zhejiang-Fujian war was extremely fierce, Kang Mazi would rather deploy the troops on the Huguang northern line than deploy the nearest northern Jiangxi army for reinforcements  Fujian and Zhejiang battlefields.

    Later, after the Wu army successfully broke through the Qing army's Yangtze River defense line, the 60,000 main force of the Qing army mobilized from the Huguang battlefield was divided into 35,000 to go north to Anhui, and the remaining 25,000 troops were also stationed in northern Jiangxi.  Leading the Wu army down the river, they attacked the Qing court's most important area of ??wealth in the south of the Yangtze River. In addition, the Qing army fled from Luoshan, Huangzhou and other places to the battlefield in northern Jiangxi.  There are not too many enemies on the Internet¡ªjust over one hundred thousand!

    Among the more than 100,000 Qing troops, about 45,000 troops were stationed in Anqing City, the first gateway to the south of the Yangtze River.  Two thousand troops were jointly led by Beizi Zhangtai and Jiangxi governor Dong Weiguo; Jiangxi admiral Zhao Guozuo, a veteran of the Qing army who had forced Zheng Chenggong to retreat on the Jiangnan battlefield more than 20 years ago, led an army of 25,000 in Nanchang and exchanged with the Jiujiang Qing army.  For horns.  In addition, Yang Jie, the admiral of the Qing army navy who has committed crimes and meritorious service, led about 7,000 Qing army navy officers to hover around the mouth of Poyang Lake to defend the safety of the largest freshwater lake in China.  It is really difficult for Fatty Lu to pull his teeth out of the mouths of these new and old opponents who are relying on danger and guarding against danger.

    After crossing Xingguo, the 40,000 Fatty Army had already entered Jiangxi territory. Hutongchun, who led 3,000 elite troops to open the way, sent a fast horse to report back, saying that it was Yitanbu, the Qing army guard in Ruichang County, Jiujiang Prefecture.  He led 3,000 defenders out of the city and was heading towards Hu Tongchun's army. It looked like he wanted to fight the Fatty's forward in a field battle.  Fatty Lu was a little puzzled when he heard the report, and said to himself: "Many dogs dare to go out to fight in the city? See?Ambushes on both sides of the road, full of dogs and ambushes chasing the whole section when passing your defense zone, let their heads go and pinch their waists!  "

    "The last general obeys." Han Daren agreed feebly, and then asked: "General Lu, is the last general's strength too small? Is it too thin to pinch the two wings of a dog with only four thousand troops?"

    "Since ancient times, soldiers have been more expensive than elites, and four thousand infantry ambushing a dog is more than enough." Fatty Lu said with a smile: "Besides, General Han, don't you call yourself a little Huaiyin who is both civil and military? Why are you starting to look like those who just went to the battlefield?"  I¡¯m a novice, so I only care about the number of troops? If I¡¯m really not confident, I can change people.¡±

    "Who said I have no confidence?" Han Daren snorted coldly, and strode forward to take the command arrow from Fatty Lu with a very bad attitude.  Fortunately, Fatty Lu didn't care about it, he just waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's break up the tents, and the rest of the generals just camp and rest in peace, and get enough energy to wait for the future battle."

    The generals agreed, and most of them went away. Han Daren, Quan Jie, Gao Hongchen and other Wu army generals who received errands also hurried down to make preparations for the battle. Only Gao Dejie and Hu Tongchun did not leave, and Hu Tongchun stayed of course.  It was complaining that Fatty Lu didn't give him an errand, and he didn't leave until Fatty Lu comforted him again and again.  Gao Dejie was worried and said to Fatty Lu: "Brother Lu, don't blame me for being talkative and slandering others behind the back. You have also seen Han Daren's attitude towards you and me. You still hand over such an important job to me.  Give it to him, if he deliberately messes up or deliberately delays the fighter plane, then we will be in trouble."

    "Brother Dajie, please don't worry about this." Fatty Lu said in a deep voice: "Han Daren is dissatisfied with you and me, but his dissatisfaction is that the prince reused me, did not reuse him, and did not give him a chance to perform meritorious service, but his loyalty to the prince  There are still some, and the competitive spirit is a hundred times better than ordinary people, so this time he is sent to fight, in order to show off, and to compare you and me, he will only put in more effort to fight to the death, and will not intentionally make mistakes."

    "Is this really the case?" Gao Dejie was a little worried, and said in a low voice: "Brother Lu, if I rely on the old to sell the old, I have seen too many such facts. People are so far away, Han Daren is not authentic.  , we must prevent him from intentionally plotting against you, deliberately making you lose so that he can replace you."

    "Brother Gao's kindness, my younger brother appreciates it." Fatty Lu said with a smile: "But I still believe that with Han Daren's loyalty to the prince, he should not do such a thing¡ªotherwise, the prince would not have put him down."  Sent here to watch over you and me for the prince."

    After all, considering Gao Dejie's face, Fatty Lu ordered again: "Brother Gao, but you have to guard against your worries. Well, you should also prepare for battle tonight. If the situation is unfavorable,  You attack immediately to meet our army." Gao Dejie nodded in agreement, and then left.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Forgotten note in the previous chapter: There are two versions of the death of General Gao Dejie of the Wu Army. One is that Han Daren made a false accusation to Hu Guozhu, saying that Gao Dejie invaded and occupied the silver hidden in the home of Sele, a general of the Qing Army, and failed to hand it over as usual.  Gao Dejie, causing Gao Dejie to die of illness in anger.  Another theory is that Han Yuanren, Han Daren's younger brother, made a false accusation against Hu Guozhu, spreading rumors that Gao Dejie deliberately let Yue Le go during the Luozishan battle, and did not save Han Daren, causing the Wu army to be wiped out in Jiujiang.  Gao Dejie died of anger.  In view of this, this book assumes that the relationship between Gao Dejie and Han Daren is at odds.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 266: Great Victory in the First Battle

    ?

    In the name of the first month, it is spring, but in fact, the climate is definitely not better than winter, especially at night, you have to sleep in the wilderness. It can only be described as suffering. The feeling, let alone the residents south of the Great Wall  The people couldn't bear it, even Beizi Zhangtai, a descendant of wild boar skin from Tunguska, felt that he couldn't bear it seriously. He was so cold that his face was blue and his mouth was white, and his teeth were chattering.

    "Master Bei, please use felt." A felt blanket was handed to Mr. Zhangtai. Mr. Zhangtai looked up, but he saw Dong Weiguo's beloved General Tong Guodong standing in front of him at some point, and said respectfully: "Mr. Bei,  It's really too cold, this is a servant's blanket, but Master Bei will just use it."

    "You give me the felt, what will you do then?" Zhangtai Beizi asked hypocritically.

    "The slave is going to patrol the camp, so I don't need it for the time being." Tong Guodong replied respectfully: "Our army sleeps in the wild, without the protection of camps and fences. We rely on the guard post to guard against sneak attacks by Wu dogs. The slave plans to check the post to see if anyone is lazy.  sleep."

    "I'll use that booklet first, and I'll return it to you when you come back." Master Zhangtai Beizi was no longer modest, and quickly took the blanket and wrapped it around his body. After feeling much warmer, Master Zhangtai Beizi heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said with a smile:  "General Tong really deserves to be Governor Dong's favorite general. He is really loyal to his duty. Thank you for your hard work. You can go. When Ben Beizi returns to Jiujiang City triumphantly, I will definitely praise you in front of Governor Dong."

    "Slave, thank you, Mr. Bei, for your kindness." Tong Guodong thanked him, but he was not in a hurry to check the sentry. He just hesitated, and then said cautiously: "Master Bei, do you think Wu Gou will really step into our ambush tomorrow? Wu Gou thief  Lu Yifeng, the coach of Ni that East Road, although his reputation is not very good, but the slaves have heard about it for a long time. There are three princes of the Qing Dynasty in his hands, and there are countless Baylors, including the emperor and master.  Tooth itching, but there is nothing he can do about him, such a cunning barbarian, will he fall into our trap casually?"

    "Lu Yifeng's barbarian is luck!" Master Zhangtai Beizi waved his hand and snorted coldly: "My cousin Kang Jun Wang Jieshu also mentioned Lu Yifeng's barbarian in advance in front of me, saying that this barbarian is not only good at collecting money and flattering,  I don't know anything about the rest, my cousin can strangle him with one hand without the strength to restrain a chicken, and he is as stupid as a pig, as despicable as a dog, and as cowardly as a mouse, but he was lucky enough to fight a few times with the old thief Wu Sangui  A victorious battle, when it really comes to the battlefield, our Aixinjueluo family can just pull anyone out and crush him to death! Ben Beizi is also regarded as a person who loves to read military books among the banner people.  Can't a barbarian do it?"

    "It's just luck, can you capture three Qing princes alive?" Tong Guodong murmured in his heart, "It seems that the old man, King Kang, was captured alive by Lu Yifeng's dog thief on the battlefield?"

    "Don't worry, Wu Gou never thought that our Qing army would lie in ambush in the ice and snow for one night, and he will definitely fall into the trap tomorrow!" Zhangtai Beizi said confidently: "Tomorrow it's best that that dog thief Lu Yifeng leads the army in person."  When the soldiers stepped forward, Ben Beizi was just able to capture him alive, and sent him to the capital to ask for merit from Long Live!"

    "I hope it will go so smoothly." Tong Guodong muttered in his heart again, and said: "Okay, please rest at ease, Mr. Bei, and go down to check the sentry at the end."

    "Go." Master Zhang Taibei nodded and agreed, but before the words fell, there was a sudden sound of shouting and killing from the west. The vague distance seemed to be very far away, but it was only too quiet at night to hear it.  Zhangtai hurriedly tore off the blanket and jumped up. Tong Guodong also found that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly greeted him: "Master Bei, go to the high ground next to you, where you can see clearly."

    Zhangtai didn't speak, and hurriedly led Tong Guodong and several generals of the Qing army who had woken up to the side of the earth mountain. When he looked west again, he saw that the Hejiawan area in the west was full of flames.  Master Zhangtai Beizi couldn't help but said with joy and anger: "Well, you Lu Yifeng savage, you are really treacherous, you don't hunt and kill Itanbu during the day, but come to rob the camp at night!"

    "Master Bei, Yitanbu will definitely retreat this way, we should start preparing for an ambush immediately!" Tong Guodong reminded loudly.

    "That's right, prepare quickly." Zhangtai agreed with great joy, and ordered: "Tong Guodong, take Hu Shiying to the north. The ambush in the south will be led by Bei Zi himself. When he hears the sound of the trumpet, he will fight out from both sides and attack Wu Gou! The rest of them  General, immediately wake up the soldiers and get up, ready to fight!"

    The generals of the Qing army hurriedly agreed in unison, and hurriedly dispersed to prepare. When the preparations for the ambush of the 6,000 elite Qing army were basically completed, the Qing army's Itanbu department, which was attacked in the dark night in the west, had already begun to be completely defeated.  , Panicked like a bereaved dog, messy like a swarm of bees, scrambling to be the first to flee to the east, people and horses galloping in the dark night, trampling on each other, countless dead, screaming and cryingbsp;A moment later, the soldiers of the Wu army told the Qing army prisoners about the new captive policy formulated by Lu Fatty, and there were earth-shattering cheers in the Qing army captive team.  Kowtowed to thank, countless people expressed their willingness to join Wu Jun on the spot.  Even the soldiers of Mangou Bannermen were relieved, kowtowed to Fatty Lu to thank him, and began to figure out how to kill their companions in exchange for their own life.

    During the busy time, another small group of Qing army prisoners was escorted to the scene. When they passed by Fatty Lu, Fatty Lu asked casually why these prisoners had only arrived now?  The general of the Wu army who escorted the group of prisoners smiled and replied: "General, this group is full of dogs running fast. When we caught up with them, we had almost reached Qinshan Mountain, and we surrendered only after being surrounded by our cavalry.  .¡±

    "The dogs are full of dogs, and the ability to escape is not bad." Fatty Lu laughed and cursed, he wanted to wave his hand to let the group of prisoners go down, but in a flash of his mind, Fatty Lu shouted again: "Wait, bring them all here!  "

    "General, what's the matter?" Wu Jun soldiers were a little dazed, but they still brought the twenty or so Qing army prisoners over, lined them up in front of Fatty Lu, and knelt down.  The whole section next to him also came up and asked, "Master Lu, what's the matter? Is there something wrong with this team full of dogs?"

    "There are big fish!" Fatty Lu said in a low voice: "It is more than 30 miles away from Qinshan Mountain, and the Mangou team started to be completely defeated in the early morning.  It's cavalry, how can there be a big character missing in the middle?"

    "That's right." Quan Jie also came to his senses, and when he was about to open his mouth to yell, Fatty Lu grabbed him, gave him a wink to shut him up, and then carefully observed the group of dog soldiers in front of him.  And this group of Qing army prisoners, all dressed in the uniforms of ordinary Qing army soldiers from the green battalion, was also very nervous.

    "Among you, who is the leader?" Fatty Lu, who had been observing for a long time, finally asked.

    The twenty or so Qing army prisoners looked at each other except for a middle-aged man in his forties who bowed his head and said nothing, and secretly went to the middle-aged man, but in the end a soldier in his thirties raised his head and replied:  : "Back to the general, I am."

    "Cut it off." Fatty Lu ordered calmly.

    "Why?" The soldier screamed, but without saying a word, he drew his knife and cut off the soldier's head with a single stroke, and the blood immediately spilled all over the ground.

    "Ask again, among you, who is the leader?" Fatty Lu asked again, and said: "It's best not to impersonate again, the one who dared to deceive this general just now will be punished."

    All the remaining soldiers of the Qing army were afraid to speak. Finally, the middle-aged man raised his head and said weakly, "General, please don't embarrass them. I am their leader."

    "Very good." Fatty Lu nodded in satisfaction, and ordered: "Change him into a new suit, and then take him to the big tent to see me. Remember, you must treat each other with courtesy. If he doesn't want to do something, he won't answer it."  , don't embarrass him."

    "Huh?" The middle-aged man, Tong Guodong, the commander of the Right Battalion directly under Dong Weiguo, Governor of Jiangxi Province, was taken aback, and thought to himself, "Could this barbarian be the legendary Lu Yifeng and Lu Sanhao? Why did he treat me like this?  Said, he intends to recruit me? If so, then he is daydreaming!"

    "Boss, what are you planning to do again?" Wang Shaobo asked in a low voice in Fatty Lu's ear.

    "Don't talk." Fatty Lu shook his head and whispered in Wang Shaobo's ear, "I want to use this big fish to catch an even bigger fish. Prepare a pen and paper immediately and write a letter to Dong Weiguo, Governor of Mangou Jiangxi for me."  Letter." (To be continued.

 Chapter 267

    ?

    Changed into clean clothes, and hastily ate some drinks and food provided by Wu Jun. As expected, Tong Guodong was quickly taken into the Chinese army tent of Wu Jun's East Route Army according to the order.  Tong Guodong guessed that it was Lu Yifeng's fat man who was wearing casual clothes, holding a fine wine jug made of pure gold, sitting on the commander's seat, playing with it with great interest.

    "Report to the general, all the dogs and captives you want are here!"

    The Wu Jun sergeant who escorted Tong Guodong reported to the fat man, but the fat man didn't seem to hear it, he was just playing with the golden wine jug in his hand, and kept praising the exquisite utensils, precious and rare.  Tong Guodong who was in front of him turned a blind eye at all, and was so arrogant that he was in a complete mess.  It wasn't until the Wu army officer reported for the second time that the fat man ordered without raising his head: "Leave him, you can go out now."

    "Decree." The soldiers of the Wu army who escorted the captives agreed to leave Tong Guodong behind, and bowed out of the big tent, leaving Tong Guodong to talk with the fat man alone in the big tent, but the fat man was still playing with the golden jug, sighing again and again  , "Good stuff, good stuff."

    "Damn, what a savage!" Tong Guodong cursed secretly with anger in his heart.

    "Good thing!" The fat man seemed to have finally discovered the existence of Tong Guodong, and he raised the jug and introduced to Tong Guodong: "Have you seen it? The Golden Dragon Pot in the Western Han Dynasty, Nanchang was still called Yuzhang County at that time. Legend has it that this Golden Dragon Pot,  It was a treasure presented by a craftsman in Yuzhang County to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. After the war of the Three Kingdoms, this Golden Dragon Pot disappeared. It was only seen again after more than a thousand years. It was an ancient tomb of the Jin Dynasty near Nanchang some time ago.  Found it in. Good stuff!"

    "Why did this barbarian tell me this?" Tong Guodong was a little puzzled, and suddenly he was shocked again, "How did the antiques unearthed in a Jin Dynasty tomb near Nanchang some time ago end up in the hands of this barbarian? I heard that we  Someone in the Qing army in Jiangxi secretly dug up the treasure, could it be that our people dug up this treasure and sold it or gave it to this barbarian?"

    "It's a good thing." The fat man sighed a few more words, and suddenly smiled happily: "If you dedicate such a treasure to Lord Zhou (the old traitor of Wu), the Lord must be very happy. It's a good thing!"

    "It turns out that this barbarian is planning to give this antique to the old thief Wu Sangui, he's so damn flattering." Tong Guodong cursed inwardly as he suddenly realized.

    "Erlang, put this good thing away, and arrange for someone to deliver it to the prince soon." The fat man finally handed the golden dragon pot to a soldier, then turned to Tong Guodong and said, "Introduction, my general's surname is Lu.  General Zhou Zhengdong Lu Yifeng is me, if you like, you can call me General Lu, if you don¡¯t, you can call me Mr. Sanhao¡ª¡ªthat¡¯s what most people in your Mangou court call me.¡±

    "It really is Lu Yifeng Lu Manzi." Tong Guodong nodded secretly, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "General Lu, I don't know if you have sent the last general to come, what advice do you have? But the last general stated in advance that the last general is a banner man, and the first is a great general."  For the people of the Qing Dynasty, death is the ghost of the Qing Dynasty. If General Lu wants to behead the last general, he can do it immediately.  mouth, the final general would rather die than obey."

    "General, don't be so hasty to say it so badly. There are not a few of you bannermen who have surrendered to our Great Zhou. Why are you so eager to seek death and life?" Fatty Lu laughed, and asked again: "This general,  Could you tell me your name and position?"

    Tong Guodong hesitated for a moment, and wanted to refuse to answer, but considering that there must be many people who knew him among the surrendered soldiers of the Qing army, and it was only a matter of time before his identity was exposed, he simply replied: "Whether a man can change his name or not change his surname when he sits, the Qing Dynasty will not change his surname."  The governor is directly under Tong Guodong, the commander-in-chief of the Right Battalion!"

    "So it's General Tong." Fatty Lu nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly hesitated again, and hurriedly asked: "Wait, General Tong, are you the direct subordinate of Governor Dong?"

    Tong Guodong nodded and readily admitted that Fatty Lu was overjoyed immediately, clapping his hands and laughing: "Okay, it will be more convenient for us to talk and do things in this way!"

    "What do you mean?" Tong Guodong was a little confused.

    "General Tong, since you call yourself a bannerman, you must be from Liaodong, and you are a descendant of the Tong family in Liaodong?" Fatty Lu asked again. Seeing Tong Guodong nodding in recognition, Fatty Lu was even more happy, and said with a smile: "General Tong, you must be a descendant of the Tong family in Liaodong?"  I also know that your Liaodong Tong family was originally a courtier of the Ming Dynasty. It was only because of the rise of the Jurchen slavery that your ancestors had no choice but to surrender the Mangou. That being the case, now our Lord Wu of the Great Zhou Xingyi soldiers crusade against the Mangou to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty to rejuvenate China.  As a descendant of a minister of the Ming Dynasty, why bother to help the tyrant to bury the Manchu dog? Why don¡¯t you join our army earlier and serve the prince of Wu? In the future, our army will expel the Mangou and revive the Ming Dynasty.Enlightenment, Zhu Fangdan said happily: "The boss is a good move. The students finally understand why you must have Tong Guodong stay overnight. Among the Mangou prisoners of war released by us, there must be some who return to Jiujiang City. As long as they bring the news back  In Jiujiang City, when Tong Guodong is full of dogs and then returns to the city, General Man Gou will definitely ask him why, and this letter from the master will not fall into the hands of Zhang Tai's Man Gou."

    "But it will definitely fall into the hands of Dong Weiguo at the same time." Wang Shaobo said worriedly: "Dong Weiguo's big traitor and Zhangtai Mangou saw this letter at the same time. Even if Zhangtai would be suspicious, Dong Weiguo would definitely call for grievances, which would have the effect of counter-separation.  It's really unlikely."

    "Don't worry, I'll leave Tong Guodong's traitorous traitor overnight, and there's one more to come." Fatty Lu grinned, turned to Zhu Fangdan and asked, "Master Zhu, you are a genius doctor, so you must have a way to prepare a slow poison, right? For example  It is said that Tong Guodong will take the poison, so that he will not die temporarily, and he will die after returning to Jiujiang City for a few days, is there such a poison?"

    "Of course there is, and it doesn't need to be such a strange poison. Let Tong Guodong eat some mercury all over his dog, and he can die in a few days." Zhu Fangdan snorted, and asked doubtfully: "Boss, since you plan to release Tong Guodong  , and why give him slow poison?"

    "I understand!" Wang Shaobo is worthy of being a raccoon dog like Lu Fatty. He immediately came to his senses and said in surprise: "Boss, your trick is really clever! Tong Guodong brought this letter back to Jiujiang City.  In a day or two, he suddenly died of poisoning, Dong Weiguo is a traitor, even if he jumped into Poyang Lake, he would not be able to clear up the suspicion of murder!"

    "Wonderful!" Zhu Fangdan, who had been completely brought down by Fatty Lu and Wang Shaobo, also came to his senses, slapped his thigh and said happily: "Student, go and prepare poison, put it in Tong Guodong's dog-filled dinner, and let him die after three days  ! And then at that time, Dong Weiguo is a traitor huh, huh."

    "Hey, hey, hey, hey" For the first time, there was a tacit understanding and smirk in Fatty's army's large tent, which was enough to make every enemy of Fatty's army terrified. Of course,  This is only the first time, and there will be many, many, many times in the future.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 268

    ?

    The Jiujiang Qing army's ambush of the Fat Man Army failed miserably. This did not come as a surprise to Dong Weiguo, the governor of Jiangxi in the Qing Dynasty, Dong Weiguo, because Dong Daren opposed the ambush plan from the very beginning, and believed that the most important task of the Qing army in northern Jiangxi  It is defending instead of attacking. I feel that even if a battle is won and not fought, as long as the Jiangxi battlefield, the gateway to the riches of the south of the Yangtze River, is defended, it is already a miracle for the Qing court in the wind and rain¡ªno more  The situation of the Qing court supported by Jiangnan finance is really unimaginable.

    Since prudence is victory, any rashness is an unnecessary risk that may lead to failure. It is precisely because of this that Dong Weiguo not only clearly opposed the ambush plan proposed by Zhangtai Beizi, but also tried his best to persuade Zhangtai to give up.  This plan.  But it is a pity that Beizi Zhangtai is not only a relative of the Qing court, but also a general of Pingkou personally appointed by Kang Mazi, the highest chief of the Qing Dynasty. He is Dong Weiguo's immediate boss.  Going in is also useless.

    Persuasion was useless, but in desperation, Dong Weiguo had no choice but to ask his confidant Tong Guodong to assist Zhangtai Beizi in the battle, and selected the most elite Qing army from the Six Thousand Jiujiang River to Zhangtai Beizi to command, planning to have Tong Guodong, who was mature and prudent,  As Zhangtai's assistant, and the army is an elite soldier, even if he fails to win the battle, the loss will not be too great.  It's just that Dong Weiguo never dreamed that Zhangtai's 6,000 elite soldiers and Itambu's 3,000 green battalion together not only failed to ambush the forward of the fat army, but were ambushed by the fat army in turn, and the army lost two-thirds  As mentioned above, Zhangtai fled back to Jiujiang in embarrassment, and Tong Guodong, the love general, disappeared, and his life and death were unknown!

    The first time they fought against the Fatty Army, Dong Weiguo lost his face so badly. While panicking, Dong Weiguo hurriedly dispatched a large number of scouts to search for Tong Guodong's whereabouts.  The Qing army in Anqing and downstream sent messengers to inform Jiujiang of the war situation, and asked the Qing army in these two places to prepare for reinforcements in Jiujiang.

    Nanchang is far away from Jiujiang, and there is no convenient and fast waterway, so let's ignore him for the time being, and just talk about Anqing.  After receiving the news from Dong Weiguo's clipper ship, Hilgen, the Minister of Internal Affairs of General Qing Dingnan who was stationed in Anqing, did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly dispatched his deputy, Deputy General Dingnan and Minister of Rites of the Qing Dynasty, Hal Gaqi, to lead a boat  The team went upstream to Jiujiang City to grasp the first-hand battle situation, so as to judge whether it was necessary to dispatch the Anqing Qing army to reinforce the Jiujiang Qing army.

    Although there is a waterway from Anqing to Jiujiang, the speed upstream is relatively slow. When Hargaqi's fleet arrived in Jiujiang City, it was already the evening of the second day after the end of the Ruichang ambush.  On the evening of the 19th day of the first month in the thirteenth year of Mazi, the clipper had just arrived at the Jiujiang Wharf, which was heavily protected by the Qing Navy. Dong Weiguo had already led Zhao Yingkui, Zhao Dengju, Zhang Sheguang, Yang Jie and other Qing army generals to the wharf.  Ergaqi saluted and greeted him.  Haergaqi casually called out the generals, and impatiently asked Dong Weiguo, "Master Dong, where is Wu Gou?"

    "Master Ha, the latest report shows that the Wugou East Route Army started from Ruichang to commit crimes in the east early this morning. They marched very cautiously, and only traveled forty miles a day." Dong Weiguo quickly replied: "If there is no accident, the last  As late as noon tomorrow, the Wu Dog bandit army will be able to approach the city of Jiujiang."

    "Wu Gou didn't take advantage of the victory to rush forward?" Hargaqi was a little surprised. He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Fatty Lu's gourd.  A great opportunity to siege the city?

    "The lower officials are also very puzzled by this." Dong Weiguo replied with a frown: "Wu Gou's soldiers have little food, so they can only fight quickly and not drag on for a long time. Now Lu Yifeng's barbarians are doing the opposite.  Chang delayed for a day, I'm afraid there must be a trick. I also hope that Mr. Ha will report back to General Hilgen and ask him to send reinforcements early to defend Jiujiang with our army. As long as Jiujiang is still in our army's hands, Anqing can rest easy."

    "For reinforcements, let's go to the city to discuss it." Hargaqi waved his hand, letting Dong Weiguo lead the way into the city, and then looked around on the road and asked, "Where is Master Zhangtai? Why didn't you see him? Could it be that he was on the battlefield?"  injured?"

    "I wasn't injured, but I fell ill in bed when I came back." Dong Weiguo replied helplessly: "It seems that Master Bei may feel a little ashamed after returning home in a disastrous defeat. No matter how much the subordinate officials persuade him, he will not listen."

    Hal Gaqi smiled wryly, and had nothing to do with his cousin Kang Mazi. In the end, Hal Gaqi could only change the subject and ask, "Where is Tong Guodong? Any news? He is a rare general, brave and resourceful, you  Did you send someone to look for it?"

    "Master Ha, of course the last general sent someone to search for it." Dong Weiguo's expression was a bit painful, and he replied in a more helpless tone: "But the person was not found, but there were rumors that our army was defeated, saying that after he was captured by Wu Gou, he died  TowardsEven if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to wash it away!  "

    "You dog thief! I don't understand. Your name of saying good things, being kind, and doing good deeds is called by that bastard and idiot?" Dong Weiguo did not dare to say that  The letter was torn up, and he just knelt down to Hargaqi and Zhangtai, raised the letter above his head, and said with tears in his eyes: "Master Ha, Master Bei, Wu Dog's pernicious poison has reached this point, and the slaves really can't tell.  The slave just wants to say one thing, the slave never betrayed the Qing Dynasty, let alone the long live master!"

    "The servant also knows that when the two armies are at war, the most fearful thing is internal strife and internal strife, mutual suspicion and suspicion, so the servant does not want to explain and explain, but just wants to show the loyalty of the servant with practical actions-please Master Ha and Master Beizi immediately remove the servant  With the flower feathers on the top of the head, take it to the place where the slave should go. The defense and army of Jiujiang, the slave is also willing to hand over to Zhang Beizi. However, the slave still said that Anqing and Nanchang must take precautions. Send troops to reinforce Jiujiang immediately, otherwise, Jiujiang  Once it falls, Anqing and Nanchang will not be able to respond to each other's rescue, and northern Jiangxi will be in danger!"

    "Governor, I can't! Jiujiang can't live without you!" Tong Guodong cried out, "Master Ha, Master Bei, this letter was brought back by the slave, and all the consequences will be borne by the slave, and have nothing to do with the governor!  I would like to lead an army out of the city to fight Wu Gou to the death, kill Wu Gou and capture Lu Yifeng's dog thief alive, so as to clear the name of the governor!"

    "Shut up!" Dong Weiguo turned around and shouted sharply: "Tong Guodong, if you still recognize me as the boss and the governor, you just stay honestly in Jiujiang City for the past few days. If you have any troubles, I will be more serious."  Even if you jumped into Poyang Lake, you won't be able to clear up your suspicions!"

    "Master Ha, Master Bei." All the generals and civilian officials of the Qing army present left their seats and knelt down, kowtowed and said: "The last general (lower rank) and others believe that the Governor-General is loyal to the emperor and the Qing court.  In light of the sun and the moon, it is absolutely impossible to do evil deeds of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, please Master Bei and Master Ha to investigate clearly."

    "The last general is willing to use his whole family's life to protect the governor!" Another general of the Qing army shouted: "If it is found that the governor is even slightly sorry for the court, I am sorry for Long Live, please kill the whole family of the last general!"

    As soon as the words came out, several civil and military officials of the Qing army immediately echoed, expressing that they were willing to spend their lives as security guards for Dong Weiguo, who was very popular among the army and officials.  Seeing this situation, Haergaqi and Zhangtai, who had already been skeptical about Dong Weiguo's rebellion against the Qing Dynasty, couldn't say anything more. They got up together and joined hands to help Dong Weiguo. Haergaqi comforted: "Please rest assured, Governor General, this is very serious.  It's obviously Wu Gou's plan to divide and counteract. Although the official is ignorant, he will not be deceived by such a shallow plan. Please feel free to continue defending the city, Governor. I will try my best to persuade General Hilgen to let him  Send reinforcements to reinforce Jiujiang."

    "Yes." Master Zhangtai Beizi echoed: "I am familiar with military books, and have a deep understanding of military strategy. How can Wu Gou's simple plan be hidden from my eyes? Governor, please stay in Jiujiang, I will definitely  I will work together with you to guard this city, and swear to the death not to let Wu Gou go any further east!"

    "Thank you, Mr. Ha, thank you, Mr. Bei, thank you for your trust." Dong Weiguo was so moved that tears streamed down his face, he choked up and said, "I would like to invite the two of you to go to the court on your behalf and report to General Dingnan. As long as the servant is still alive, Jiujiang City will definitely  It's still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, and it's still in the hands of the Emperor Long Live!"

    "I believe this must be the case." Halgaqi nodded, took the letter from Dong Weiguo again, and said kindly: "My lord governor, please don't worry too much about this official. The duty of an official is, so  this letter¡­¡­."

    "Your Majesty Ha, you don't need to say anything, I understand, and I won't blame you." Dong Weiguo replied helplessly: "This letter is up to Master Ha, whether it is handed over to General Hilgen or directly presented to the master.  Long live, the lower officials have no right to interfere. Those who are clean will clean up themselves, and the lower officials also believe that the master, Long Live, and General Hilgen will definitely set things right and return the lower officials to their innocence."

    "Thank you, Governor, for your understanding. If that's the case, then I'm sorry." Hargaqi checked the letter again, and found that there was no suspicion of being dropped by Dong Weiguo, so he carefully stuffed it into his sleeve  .

    "I'm still somewhat suspicious of me." Seeing Haergaqi's actions, Dong Weiguo couldn't help muttering in his heart. At the same time, Dong Weiguo also felt a little puzzled, and secretly said: "Lu Yifeng is a thief.  This trick is not very clever, is it? If he wants our army to have civil strife based on such a letter, making our troops in northern Jiangxi in the Qing Dynasty suspect each other, guard against each other, and dare not rescue each other, then he will make his dream come true.  Great job."

    "Could it be that Lu Yifeng, who is famous for his good words, good deeds, and good intentions, has other things behind him? What is his real purpose?" (To be continued.

 Chapter 269

    ?

    At noon on the 20th day of the first lunar month in the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi¡¯s Qing Dynasty, the main force of the Fat Man Army, who marched cautiously, finally arrived at the first destination of the Eastern Expedition¡ªJiujiang City, and chose to camp in the area of ??the official card folder in the northwest of Jiujiang City.  Backed by the Xiazhai of the Yangtze River, about ten miles away from Jiujiang City, they formed horns with Li Guodong, the fat man's navy, who had the advantage of smooth sailing, and adopted a relatively conservative camping strategy.

    While Fatty's army was camping, Fatty Lu led a group of loyal or traitorous lackeys and accomplices and an elite soldier to the foot of Jiujiang City to personally visit Jiujiang City to prevent the plot to break the city.  It is to spy on the movement of Hukou, which is across the lake from Jiujiang City, to judge whether the Anqing Qing army has sent troops to reinforce Jiujiang and destroy its plan to siege the city.

    Probably because of his many evil deeds, when Fatty Lu's banner appeared under Jiujiang City, there was a lot of shouting and cursing in Jiujiang City, which could still be heard clearly even after two miles away.  Seriously, there is no shortage of particularly harsh and vicious words.  It's a pity that our Lu Sanhao's skin has always been astonishingly thick, and the so-called conscience and shame have never made things difficult for him, so Fatty Lu didn't seem to hear it, he was just carefully observing the Jiujiang city defense with a smile, and asked the lackeys and accomplices to express their opinions  , Conspiring to destroy the city.

    Compared with Wuchang City and Jingzhou City, which were fought by the Wu army in the first few tough battles, Jiujiang's city defense is obviously not as good as these two important Huguang towns.  But it is definitely not the kind of abandoned small city that can be easily captured. The city is high, the moat is deep, and the fortifications are complete. If it is a frontal attack, even if it can be won, the loss of the attacker will never be so small, and how much time will it take to capture it?  Even Fatty Lu, who has always been arrogant and narcissistic, would not dare to guarantee this city.

    "Brother Lu, this battle is not easy to fight." Gao Dejie was the first to express his opinion, saying: "With the strength of our army, if we attack such a fortified city with strong defenses head-on, although we are very sure of winning in the end, the casualties  It¡¯s definitely not that small, and there¡¯s no way to be sure about a quick battle.¡±

    "That's why I was opposed to directly attacking Jiujiang from the beginning." Han Daren rarely stood with Gao Dejie, and said with a sneer: "If Nanchang is attacked first, even if it takes a little longer, at least there is no need to worry about the reinforcements full of dogs.  Yes. Go directly to Jiujiang. If you can¡¯t make a quick decision, the Mangous in Anqing and Nanchang will attack from the north and the south, and kill them together. Let alone break the city, you will be Amitabha if you don¡¯t get flanked by the Mangous.¡±

    "Man Gou will not reinforce Jiujiang." Fatty Lu spoke surprisingly, and said with a smile: "At least, Man Gou in Anqing will not reinforce Jiujiang. As for Man Gou in Nanchang, even if they come to reinforce Jiujiang, they will not have too many troops."

    "Master Lu, are you sure?" Wang Xu asked in surprise, "Anqing is the closest to Jiujiang, and there is a safe and fast waterway to go. Why didn't you reinforce Jiujiang?"

    Gao Dejie and Han Daren also squinted their eyes, waiting for Fatty Lu's explanation, while Fatty Lu smiled and said vaguely: "They don't have the guts, in a word, you don't have to worry about Anqing's Mangou, I have already made arrangements  , before the fatal crisis of Jiujiang Mangou, Anqing Mangou would never dare to send troops to reinforce Jiujiang in advance."

    Generals Gao, Han, Wang and Wu Jun all looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding why Fatty Lu had such confidence.  Finally, Wang Xu, who still trusts Fatty Lu, said: "Master Lu, even if Anqing Mangou will not reinforce Jiujiang in advance, then we can't delay the war for a long time, otherwise, no matter whether it is Anqing or Nanchang Mangou, there will only be one  If an army breaks through our blockade and enters Jiujiang City, it will be even more difficult for us to fight this battle."

    "General Wang Xu is right." Li Tianzhi echoed, "Brother Lu, I propose to launch the siege tomorrow. Taking advantage of our heavy damage to Mangou in Ruichang that has shaken the morale of Jiujiang Mangou's army and dampened their spirit,  Take advantage of our sharp firearms and take down Jiujiang City in one go!"

    "The last general is willing to be the siege vanguard!" The fierce general Hu Tongchun couldn't wait to ask for orders.

    "No! I won't attack the city tomorrow!" Fatty Lu said again surprisingly, "I have already predicted that if it is soon, tomorrow night, if it is later, the day after tomorrow, in short, within three days, the city will be full of dogs. Once again, the city will go out for a decisive battle. When we are in the field  Injure Man Gou again, completely disintegrate Man Gou's morale and fighting spirit, and then launch an attack to be more confident. Therefore, this afternoon and tomorrow, our army must take the time to rest and regain strength, and prepare to attack the city  instrument!"

    "Man Gou will go out of the city again for a decisive battle within three days?" Wu Jun's generals exclaimed, but Han Daren seized the opportunity and laughed and said, "Lord Lu, you are really getting better at telling jokes.  After suffering a big loss in the field battle, and having a strong city to rely on, will you go out of the city again for a decisive battle?"

    &n??If you really go to vote for Wu Gou, then Master Bei, if you kill these hidden dangers, isn't it just a matter of one sentence?  "

    Master Zhangtai Beizi rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth, turned to the tearful Dong Weiguo and said, "Okay, Dong Weiguo, I will give you a chance to prove your innocence. Ben Beizi and your five thousand troops, if you go out of the city  If you can really chop off the head of Wu Gou Lu Yifeng, Ben Beizi will naturally believe that you are innocent, and will kowtow to you to apologize. But if you, hmph, please consider these generals who trust you, Governor General."

    "I can't help it, let's take a gamble. After I leave the city, as long as I fight to the death, even if I don't get the head of Lu Yifeng's dog thief, this idiot Zhangtai will not doubt me when he sees me fighting bloody battles. Even if I die in battle  On the battlefield, it¡¯s better than being sent to the capital to suffer humiliation and die.¡± Dong Weiguo also had no choice but to clap his fists and answer loudly: ¡°The slave takes orders!¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 270 The Battle Before the Battalion

    ?

    "Brothers! This is all of my Dong Weiguo's net worth! It is saved by the ancestors, rewarded by the master, and saved by myself! There are also house deeds, land deeds, and land deeds! Together, they are worth more than a hundred thousand taels of silver!  "

    "Brothers, I, Dong Weiguo, don't want to say any more. You should have heard about the grievances and injustices I suffered! I have no other way to cleanse myself, so I can only ask you now, use me and  Your blood, go to wash away the shame of the Qing Dynasty, and wash away the grievances of Dong Weiguo!"

    "Wu Gou has the ingenious lewd skills of the red-haired foreign ghost. We in the Qing Dynasty have bow horse riding and shooting. Our bow horse riding and shooting will never be afraid of Wu Gou's ingenious lewd skills! Rush up and mess with Wu Gou, victory belongs to  us!"

    "Brothers, Dong Weiguo will not let you die in vain! Cut off the head of Lu Yifeng's dog thief, it is not counted as a gift from the court, and all my money belongs to you!"

    "Kill! Long live the Qing Dynasty!"

    After delivering an exciting pre-war speech to the 5,000 troops of the direct descendants who had assembled in an emergency out of the city, Dong Weiguo mounted his horse with a knife and roared to take the lead.  He rushed towards the Fatty Army camp in the northwest.  The soldiers of the Qing army on the city wall at the back were also shouting loudly, beating drums frantically to cheer for the fallen army and their respected and beloved governor.  Only our son-in-law of Zhangtai Pei sneered and sneered at the nasty performance of Governor Dong, who was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country.

    You can't blame Governor Dong for being short-tempered and impulsive, and you can't blame Governor Dong for gambling with 5,000 lives for himself. The key is that Fatty Lu's tricks are too wicked. Not to mention the fact that Governor Dong is suspected, the timing is extremely well chosen.  Appropriate, so that the enemy dare not take it lightly even if they feel that something is wrong-otherwise, if it were normal, Governor Dong would be suspended temporarily, waiting for the Qing court to send another official to check, and it would probably only be a matter of time before the truth was revealed.

    However, now that Wu Jun is approaching the city and Jiujiang City is in danger, Dong Weiguo is charged with such suspicions, not to mention the son of Zhangtai Beizi, even if Kang Mazi is here, and the old witch of Xiaozhuang is in Jiujiang, she must not dare to take it lightly.  Choosing to temporarily detain Governor Dong and temporarily deprive him of all powers will definitely bring bad luck to Governor Dong's confidantes in the army. No one can afford the consequences of Governor Dong's faction defecting.  So there is no way, Governor Dong has only two options left. The first option is to obediently arrest him and go to the capital to wait for a slow investigation. The second option is to find a way to immediately prove his innocence and keep the existing power.  status.

    If the generals of the Qing army in Jiujiang City were replaced by other people, such as Yue Le, Tu Hai, or La Bu, Governor Dong would probably choose the first route, because the military power in Jiujiang would completely fall into the hands of these people  Even if he still can't beat the Wu army in the field, there is still hope for defending the strong city of Jiujiang, but does Governor Dong have the guts to hand over such an important city of Jiujiang to Master Zhangtai Beizi, who is familiar with military books and has a deep understanding of strategy?  When Jiujiang falls, the connection between Nanchang and Anqing, the two important towns, will be cut off by the Wu army, and they will be in a predicament of fighting each other. Even if Governor Dong is proved innocent, will he still have bad luck?  Maybe it will be too late for Governor Dong to be escorted to the capital, and Jiujiang City, which is demoralized and weak in command, has already been breached by the Wu army, let alone Governor Dong's chance of innocence and survival.

    Since the choice of the first path is not to die, but to go to the dungeon to be with the unlucky Yue Le, Tu Hai, and Cai Yurong, it is better to choose the second path and take a gamble, leading an army that dares to die and fight against the enemy.  Wu Jun will fight to the death, if he can really cut off Fatty Lu's dog's head, it will not only prove his innocence, but also make a world-class contribution to the Qing Dynasty;  Divisive tricks will also be self-defeating, so Governor Dong's decision seems impulsive and thoughtless, but in fact it is the only correct decision after repeated weighing and taking into account the interests of all parties.

    Let's get to the point, the Qing army led by Dong Weiguo went out of the city to gather. Naturally, such a big move could not be hidden from the eyes of the fat army scouts.  And when the scouts sent the news to Fatty's army's tent, Wu Jun's generals who were skeptical about Fatty Lu's predictions before were inevitably taken aback, and Han Daren, who had a bet with Fatty Lu, couldn't believe his ears.  , asking the scout several times whether they reported an error, until he repeatedly confirmed that there was no error, Han Daren blurted out and exclaimed: "Is Jiujiang Mangou crazy?"

    "General Han, you are finally right this time. Man Gou is indeed crazy." Fatty Lu took over the conversation and said to the generals in the tent: "Generals, I have concluded that Man Gou will take the initiative to attack this time.  I came here with the determination that there will be no return, so this battle must be very cruel and bloody. Please be mentally prepared, all generals, and let the soldiers be mentally prepared. Don't think about our army's field advantage before.  ,??At this point, no matter how much money Dong Weiguo had, he couldn't re-invigorate his morale. The Qing army gradually began to collapse, and he could still maintain his formation.  , or throw down their weapons and kneel down to surrender¡ªanyway, the prisoners of the Qing army in the Ruichang War have already spread the fat army¡¯s captive policy. As long as you surrender, you can save your life.  It is far better to pay for the travel expenses back home than to work hard for Dong Weiguo's invisible money.

    At this time, Fatty Lu finally sent out a counterattack signal, and the Fatty Army Li Tianzhi and Kong Fanlin's teams who had been waiting behind Wang Xu's team for a long time rushed forward with shouts, opened the gate of the village and directly attacked the exhausted and demoralized Qing army.  As a result, the soldiers and generals of the Qing army completely lost all fighting spirit and courage, and collapsed completely.  Reluctantly ordered: "Break out, don't let the soldiers be buried with me."  It is my biggest motivation.) (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 271 Self-destruct the Great Wall

    ?

    Dong Weiguo's order to break out of the encirclement was obviously a bit late. Not only the infantry of the Fatty Army had already launched a full-scale counterattack, but the elite cavalry of the Fatty Army had also detoured to the back of Dong Weiguo's defeated soldiers.  The sharp sabers chopped down by the cavalry stormed like a storm, and the poor Qing soldiers were caught in the middle, unable to advance or retreat, and unable to run over, let alone breaking through the siege, even if they wanted to stand still and wait for help, there was no hope at all.

    Unable to advance or retreat, one team after another of Qing soldiers either fled in all directions, surrendered on their knees, or were chopped down like pigs and sheep by wolf-like Wu soldiers. Dong Weiguo could not restrain these defeated soldiers no matter how motivated they were  , let alone twist them into a rope like before, desperately breaking out of the encirclement, I can only watch these Qing soldiers gradually disintegrate in the chaotic army with tears in their eyes, and fall to their knees amidst the loud cries and fights  Next, in twos and threes, they fled to the depths of the night on the left and right wings, and went to gamble to escape the search and killing of Wu soldiers.  Dong Weiguo had tears in his eyes and blood in his heart, but he was helpless.

    Relying on the desperate protection of the cavalry and personal soldiers, and also relying on the cover of night and a little luck, Dong Weiguo finally led more than a hundred cavalry to break out of the tight encirclement, leaving behind an unknown number of remnants of the defeated generals who were struggling in the encirclement of the Wu army.  Fleeing to Jiujiang City in the last darkness before dawn.  However, the war horses under their crotch attracted the attention of many Wu Jun cavalry. There is no way, the cavalry is too expensive.  , and fled to Jiujiang City at full speed.

    Our Governor Dong's luck was really bad enough. He was chased by Wu Jun in the night and fled desperately. In a panic, he went the wrong way and fled to the northeast to the Yangtze River.  They have already surrounded them, surrounded them with bows and arrows, slashed and killed them with knives, and kept shouting, "Surrender, don't kill! Surrender, don't kill! Catch alive, there are big fish! There are big fish!"

    Thinking of getting a big reward from Fatty Lu after catching the big fish, the cavalrymen of the Wu army were all brave, they stopped Dong Weiguo's team and refused to let go, desperately hacking and blocking, the cavalry of the Qing army rushed from left to right, and were still unable to break out of the encirclement.  Seeing Wu Jun getting smaller and smaller, with fewer and fewer soldiers around him, Dong Weiguo became more and more desperate. He couldn't help but drew his sword in his hand and sighed: "Master, it's not that the slave is incompetent, it's that Wu Dog is too cunning. I hope they  When attacking fortified positions, they chose not to attack, and if they wanted to fight with them in the field, they chose to stay out of the camp. The slaves are really helpless, so they can only apologize with death."

    After finishing speaking, Dong Weiguo was about to return the knife and commit suicide, but the guards beside him hurriedly stopped him and cried out, "My lord governor, I can't! How far has it come! We still have hope!"

    "What hope do we have?" Dong Weiguo choked up and said, "Could that idiot Zhangtai send reinforcements to meet me? It's better to die early than to be captured alive by Wu Gou and suffer such shame. At least, my family won't be killed because of me.  Being implicated"

    As he said that, Dong Weiguo struggled again to cut his own neck with the knife. The soldiers next to him were frightened out of their wits, and hurried to hold Dong Weiguo again, screaming, "My lord, you can't!" Dong Weiguo struggled desperately to resist, crying  Said: "You let me go, let me go, you save me now, you are harming me, you are harming me!"

    "My lord, don't look for short-sightedness first, listen!" A soldier suddenly yelled again, pointing to the southeast direction and shouted: "My lord governor, another soldier is coming, could it be our reinforcements?"

    Dong Weiguo calmed down a little, looked up carefully, and found that the torches were moving in the southeast, as if an army was rushing towards this direction, judging from the direction, it really looked like reinforcements sent from Jiujiang City, Dong Weiguo couldn't help but  A glimmer of hope was ignited, and he murmured in great surprise: "How is it possible? Could it be that idiot Zhang Tai suddenly became enlightened after taking the wrong medicine?"

    Seeing this glimmer of hope, the cavalry of the Qing army beside Dong Weiguo, who had already been unable to hold on, naturally burst out their final strength, and once again blocked the charge of the cavalry of the Wu army against Dong Weiguo.  After persisting for a period of time, when the sky finally showed a glimmer of light, the army that came from the southeast finally appeared in the sight of both sides. What made Dong Weiguo and the soldiers of the Qing army cheered was that this urgent team  , It is indeed the reinforcements from the Qing army in Jiujiang City, and judging from the banner, the commander of this army is the Jiangxi deputy general Zhao Yingkui who was personally selected by Dong Weiguo these years, Dong Weiguo's hard-core confidant!

    The reinforcements of the Qing army arrived, and the situation on the battlefield immediately reversed. The morale of the Qing army was greatly boosted, while that of the Wu army was greatly reduced. Li Xiongfei, who led the cavalry of the Wu army, was also a slippery character.  Breaking out of the encirclement, withdrawing to the camp - the main reason is that they don't know that the self-armed army is surrounded by a super big fish like Dong Weiguo, the governor of Jiangxi in Qing Dynasty.  Dong Weiguo took the opportunity to lead the?The voice sounded again.

    "Hurry up! What are you talking about with this traitor?" The roar of Zhangtai Beizi also echoed on the city wall.

    "Child Zhangtai, you are the number one stupid pig in Tianzi!" Dong Weiguo yelled unbearably, "You idiot! If Jiujiang is captured by Wu Gou! You are the number one sinner on the battlefield in northern Jiangxi of the Qing Dynasty! You pig,  Dogs! Idiots who are not as good as pigs and dogs!"

    "Fire the cannon! Let me kill this bastard!" Master Zhang Taibei also roared, and rushed to the fort, grabbed the torch and lit it himself. When the line of fire came into view, the cannon on the city roared immediately, and poured artillery fire on his own army below the city.  The shells fell into the middle of Dong Weiguo and Zhao Yingkui's team and exploded, causing heavy casualties to the soldiers of the Qing army, crying and cursing.

    "Set up the governor! Let's go!" Zhao Yingkui didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly asked the soldiers to pick up Dong Weiguo and run away. Dong Weiguo didn't struggle, but just wailed and cursed, "Child Zhangtai, you are a sinner! A sinner! The number one in the Qing Dynasty!"  Sinner! Jiujiang is over, it's in your stupid pig's hands!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    At the same time, the scouts of the Wu army headed by the bad guy Li Ya have also reported what happened under the city to Fatty Lu. Fatty Lu was overjoyed to reward the witty and wicked Li Ya, and hurriedly shouted: "Gao Hongchen listens to the order,  Immediately lead me two thousand cavalry to ambush on the only way from Jiujiang to Nanchang. If the traitor Dong Weiguo escapes to Nanchang, stop me at any cost!  Dong Weiguo¡¯s traitor fled to Anqing, and he must not be allowed to escape to Nanchang! If the interception fails and Dong Weiguo¡¯s traitor escapes to Nanchang, military law will be followed!¡±

    "Decree!" Gao Hongchen agreed with clasped fists, turned around and went to lead the troops.  Next to him, Han Daren rarely asked in a flattering tone: "General, Dong Weiguo's dog thief is already a desperate dog. Now the siege is imminent, and there is an urgent need for elite soldiers. Why waste the main soldiers of our army?"  Intercept?"

    "You know what a fart!" Fatty Lu and Mung Dou's eyes bulged, and he shouted: "Dong Weiguo is so popular among the Jiangxi Mangou army, you haven't seen it? If he escapes to his headquarters in Nanchang, he will continue to lead the Jiangxi Mangou army.  , Then how difficult it will be when we fight Nanchang? But if he is driven to Anqing, there are two full-fledged dogs, Hilgen and Hargaqi, on top, and a large group of full-fledged dogs on the bottom, all of them are holding back.  Even if you have a great ability, you can't use it, on the contrary, you may have a rift with other Mangou because of different tactics! Do you understand?"

    "The general understands." Han Daren promised, but secretly hated in his heart, "Fuck you fat bastard, you start a dyeing workshop as soon as I give you some color! Call me a fart?  A poor scholar knows a lot!"

    What really made Han Daren hate him was still to come. After the main force of the Wu army approached Jiujiang City, as soon as they set up their formation, Fatty Lu ordered the Wu army's artillery to aim at the city wall for a while.  An extremely harsh death order was issued to the siege pioneer Han Daren!  One drum, attached to the city!  Two drums, ascend the city!  The three-way drum can't climb the city, kill soldiers!  The four-tone drum can't climb the city, kill the general!

    Hearing this order from Fatty Lu, not to mention that Han Daren, who had bet with Fatty Lu before and was forced to be the cannon fodder of the siege, turned pale.  The method is really ruthless, it is clear that he wants to use the military method to get Han Daren's head."

    "What are you still doing blankly? Why don't you organize a team to attack the city?" Fatty Lu, who was always smiling, rarely showed a serious look, and shouted at Han Daren: "This general has created so many opportunities for you, and I will fight for you again."  Well, with so many foundations, if you still can¡¯t conquer Jiujiang City, which is demoralized and the morale of the army has collapsed today, even if this general wants to spare you, the prince will probably not be able to spare you!¡±

    "Yuan Ren!" Han Daren had no choice but to turn to his younger brother Han Yuanren, and shouted: "Organize you and my personal soldiers, and put up axes to serve as the supervisory team! Then order the siege soldiers to retreat  Those who take one step will be cut immediately!"

    Note: It is no exaggeration that Zhangtai bombarded the army defending the city. Similar things have happened in history.  During the San Francisco Rebellion, the guards of Wu Jun and Ji'an listened to the rumors of the Qing army and mistakenly believed that the reinforcements sent to Ji'an by the old traitor Wu had surrendered to Mangou, and fired arrows at the reinforcements.  In the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Nanjing defenders of the Qing army bombarded the city to practice bravery, and beat away the only elite soldier in their team.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 272: Battle of Jiujiang

    ?

    The drums sounded, and under the city of Jiujiang, which was reflected in the morning sun, thousands of generals and soldiers of the Wu army wore white felt hats that were different from those of the Qing army.  Attacking against the towering city walls of Jiujiang, the attacking queue was as turbulent as white sea waves, endlessly, and the loud shouts and footsteps made the hard ground vibrate slightly.

    Just as Han Daren muttered behind his back, Fatty Lu is indeed an incompetent character with a strong outside but capable in the middle. In terms of offensive strategy on the northern Jiangxi battlefield, Fatty Lu chose to go straight to the middle palace in an extremely arrogant manner, and he insisted that Jiangxi, which is mutually horned with Jiujiang,  The northern cities of Nanchang and Anqing did not dare to send reinforcements, at least they did not dare to send reinforcements immediately. They were so daring that even Wu Jun himself was frightened.

    But when it comes to tactical layout, Fatty Lu is as timid as a frightened rabbit. On the premise that the morale of the defenders has been severely damaged one after another, he still chooses an extremely conservative siege tactic, first bombarding Jiujiang with superior artillery  The fortifications of the city wall further reduced the morale and fighting spirit of the defenders; and then dispatched a convoy of archers, archers, and musketeers forward. Arrow-proof and bullet-proof chariots formed movable fortresses under the city wall, where archers and musketeers hid  Shooting arrows from the back of the car suppressed the bows and muskets of the defenders on the city; finally, the infantry team was sent to charge towards the city wall.

    "Da Zhou! Da Zhou! Da Zhou! Da Zhou!" Han Daren has a bad temper, but he does have his own way of training the army. The 8,000 siege infantry led by him first went to the west gate of Jiujiang and the south.  Two thousand troops were invested in each of the two battlefields, shouting neat slogans rhythmically, pushing ladder carts, iron-wrapped carts, and cloud platform carts, carrying flying ladders and sacks and sandbags, first trotting forward, then gradually speeding up, and finally  Charged up, the tide generally rushed to the city wall of Jiujiang.  Han Daren's younger brother Han Yuanren personally led the supervising team to keep up with the axe, shouting murderously, "Whoever takes a step back, cut! Whoever takes a step back, cut!"

    "Cannons! Cannons! Cannons, let's fire!" Seeing that the Wu army's siege team had rushed to the vicinity, but the artillery on the city wall hadn't fired yet, Master Beizi Zhangtai was so anxious that he almost cried, and kept yelling to urge the cannons to fire, "  Where are the gunners? All our gunners are dead? Why haven't we fired yet?"

    "I want to report to Bei Zi, Wu Dog bombarded our army's city wall just now, and our fort has been almost blown up!" Itanbu, Zhang Tai Bei Zi's only confidant in the Jiujiang garrison, replied helplessly: "Even if Wu Gou is not  Most of the cannons blown up by the dogs were also shaken away from the emplacements, and they couldn¡¯t fire without being on emplacements.¡±

    "Then why don't you move the artillery back to the gun position immediately?" Master Zhangtai Beizi shouted with red eyes.

    "Master Bei, you didn't issue such an order." Itanbu replied even more helplessly: "After Wu Gou stopped shelling, you didn't order to quickly rearrange the artillery array. The soldiers thought that there was no need to fire, so they didn't prepare  .¡±

    "Fuck!" Beizi Zhangtai's nose almost turned out of anger, and he almost wanted to order to cut off all those damn artillerymen, but considering the big enemy now, Beizi Zhangtai tried his best to swallow his breath back,  With red eyes, he shouted: "Send someone to pass the order, quickly put the artillery back on the gun position, aim at Wu Gou's siege team, and fire hard!"

    Master Zhangtai Beizi¡¯s recovery was obviously a bit late. Without the destruction and interference of the artillery on the city, the infantry of the Wu army had already rushed within the bow and arrow range of the Jiujiang city wall.  The Qing army defenders had already fired arrows, and the Wu army infantry began to gradually fall under the cover of locust-like arrowhead projectiles.  However, the well-trained infantry of the Wu army kept charging, shouting desperately forward, or throwing sacks of sandbags into the moat, or putting flying ladders on the moat to form a simple bridge across the river.  The cloud platform, the ladder car and the iron-wrapped car took the opportunity to keep up.

    "Dong dong dong dong!" Amidst the increasingly violent beating of war drums, hundreds of people carried the ladders to the top of Jiujiang City first, and then the large ladder cars also climbed to the city walls. Wu Jun soldiers shouted and climbed the ladders  On the top of the city wall, climbing towards the city wall, the huge stones and logs rolled down like rain on the city wall, smashing Wu soldiers one by one down the ladder, and at the same time hundreds of rockets flew out, all aimed at defending the city.  Wu Jun's ladder car and cloud platform car that hurt the army the most - this is definitely not an instruction from our Zhangtai Beizi master, it is completely the instinctive reaction of the Jiujiang Qing army trained by Dong Weiguo himself.

    At this time, Wu Jun's first drum with three hundred and thirty hammers had been beaten, and the first drum that Fatty Lu handed over to Han Daren was basically completed, and Wu Jun's siege infantry successfully attached the city; after a short pause, the second drum continued.  When the sound was sounded, Han Daren, who had no way out, had no other choice. He immediately sent another 2,000 infantry to the east gate of Jiujiang, which was most severely destroyed by the Wu army's artillery. He chose the west gate of Jiujiang as the main battlefield and the first breakthrough point, and attacked the city at the south gate.  The army continued to contain, disperse the defenders' strength andDuring the crazy secretion, five or six soldiers of the Qing army were shaken by Li Mao, unable to stand steadily.  The soldiers of the Wu army behind took the opportunity to pounce on them with red eyes, chopping up the few Qing soldiers with knives and axes, and joined hands with Li Mao to control a small space for climbing the city.

    "Even if I die, I have to pull my back!" Chen Raoyuan was unlucky. He was cut on his left shoulder by a steel knife as soon as he rushed up the city wall, and his left arm was almost cut off.  With a temper, he would not dodge or dodge the other steel knives and spears that were slashing and stabbing. He swung his right arm wildly and killed the Qing soldier in front of him.  With the knife up and down, he chopped down the two stunned Qing soldiers twice in succession, with blood spurting wildly from his mouth, but he was still laughing, "Come on, come on, kill one back, kill two and earn one!"  , Man dogs, come on!"

    Seeing Chen Raoyuan's lower abdomen pierced by two spears but still killing fiercely, all the soldiers of the Qing army around were scared out of their wits.  Seeing Chen Raoyuan spitting blood and turning his gaze to himself, a soldier of the Qing army was so frightened that he cried out on the spot, threw down his weapon and ran away, and the rest of the soldiers of the Qing army were all so frightened that their hands and feet were so weak, they were rushed up from behind Chen Raoyuan  The soldiers of the Wu army on the city wall chopped down one after another, while Chen Raoyuan, whose left arm was dangling on his chest, laughed and staggered towards the other soldiers of the Qing army, "Brothers, go! If you enter Jiujiang City, all the beauties in the city will be killed."  It's ours!"

    Encouraged by these two dutiful generals of the Wu army, the morale of the already exhausted soldiers of the Wu army was boosted again.  There are more and more black banners erected on the city walls.  Seeing this scene, the Qing army naturally began to shake and tremble, while Han Daren in the distance was ecstatic, jumped up impatiently, raised his knife and shouted at the last siege reserve team in his hand, "Brothers!  We are here! The general has an order to take down the city wall of Jiujiang, and everyone will be rewarded with three taels of silver! Kill, the opportunity to make a fortune has come!"

    "Kill!" Raising his sword and yelling, Han Daren personally led the third wave of siege troops to charge towards the crumbling West Gate of Jiujiang. Seeing that the Wu army soldiers who were hopeful of breaking the city were all brave and eager to be the first, they roared and ran faster than each other.  Soon, the tide rushed towards the city wall of Jiujiang, and the offensive was extremely fierce.

    "Han Daren has hope." Seeing this scene through the binoculars, Fatty Lu smiled, turned to Xiao Erlang next to him and said, "Erlang, let Xiaoyong put those things away, we don't need them in this Jiujiang war."  Tighten it up, don't expose it, save it for the next attack."

    Xiao Erlang agreed, and hurried down to pass the order. The generals of the Wu army looked at each other in blank dismay. Among them, Gao Dejie, who had already cleaned up the official badge battlefield and came to watch the battle, asked curiously: "Brother Lu, what are you talking about?"

    "A new siege weapon I designed." Fatty Lu replied casually: "I originally wanted to use Han Daren at the last moment, but Han Daren is still a good fighter, and he is expected to break the city.  No more."

    "A newly designed siege weapon? Then why don't you use it?" Gao Dejie asked in surprise: "If it works, our army can also avoid excessive casualties?"

    "Wrong, my newly designed siege weapon is effective, but it will only cause greater casualties to our army, not smaller." Fatty Lu replied with a smile: "So, before the critical moment, you must not use it casually.  .¡±

    "What kind of new weapon is that?" Gao Dejie asked more curiously.

    "Temporary confidentiality." Fatty Lu said with a smile: "In short, it is a dangerous weapon that must not be used indiscriminately until the last moment. You will definitely have the opportunity to see it in the future."

    "By the way, I specially designed this weapon for Han Daren." Fatty Lu added with a sinister smile, "In the future, whoever learns from Han Daren and interferes with my tactical arrangement by pretending to understand, I will let whoever uses it first  , understand?"

    Seeing Fatty Lu's smirk and triumphant expression, all Wu Jun generals, including Gao Dejie, shuddered, and murmured together in their hearts: "This weapon must be very dangerous, please don't let me use it."

    While speaking, there was a huge commotion from the direction of the city wall, and thousands of generals of the Wu army began to cheer. It turned out that the third wave of siege troops led by Han Daren had already rushed to the west gate of Jiujiang with only one charge.  Not only did Han Daren's General Yang Wei's flag be planted on the Jiujiang City Wall, Zhangtai's Mangou Dingyuan General Jingkou's flag also disappeared from the city wall.  Seeing such a scene, even Fatty Lu was extremely surprised, and said in amazement: "Han Daren charged so hard, and cut down the handsome flag full of dogs so quickly?"

    "No, Man Gou took it down by himself." Li Tianzhi saw the previous situation with sharp eyes, and introduced: "After Man Gou took down the handsome flag, he retreated to the city."

    "Fuck! Han Daren's luck is so damn good! He ran into such a cowardly and useless man dog!" Fatty Lu cursed, then immediately turned to the generals next to him and said: "Every army is ready, Manchu  The dog is likely to abandon the city to break through the siege, and we must be prepared to intercept and chase. Hutongchun, Quanjie, you two, each lead 2,000 infantry, help Han Daren fight in the street, and drive Mangou out of Jiujiang City as soon as possible  !" (To be continued.

 Chapter 273 Conquering Jiujiang

    ?

    According to Fatty Lu's crow words, it is indeed a blessing for Han Daren, the general of the Wu army, to meet such an excellent enemy as Master Beizi of Zhangtai. It not only helped Han Daren get rid of Lu Fatty's despicable frame, but also frustrated Han Daren's ambition  His ambition was finally fulfilled, and he saw a glimmer of hope to replace Fatty Lu, the unqualified General Wu Jun Zhengdong, with one foot.  The courage to guarantee that he can break through a strong city like Jiujiang within the four-way drum.

    Fortunately for Han Daren, the surviving defenders of the Jiujiang Qing army vomited blood completely. Now the siege infantry of the Wu army have just climbed the city wall, and their foothold is not very stable.  Although the morale of the Qing army is low and the morale of the army is lax, a considerable part of the generals and soldiers still have fighting spirit, and the force is quite sufficient. As long as the command is proper, the deployment is reasonable, and the troops are deployed in a timely and appropriate manner, the soldiers of the Wu army will be driven off the city wall again.  It's not hopeless, and it can even be said that there is quite a lot of hope!

    But in such a good situation, just after seeing Wu Jun's siege infantry rushing up the city wall, and Wu Jun's vanguard banner had just been planted on the city wall, our Master Zhangtai Beizi ran away timidly.  The generals and soldiers of the Qing army who were still fighting bloody battles on the city wall fled, and the generals and soldiers of the Qing army who were still fighting Wu Jun on the city wall collapsed.  Countless generals and soldiers at the grassroots level threw their weapons to the ground and shouted with red eyes, "No more fights! No more fights! The officials have already run away first, so why should we fight? Surrender! I surrender!"

    "Child Zhangtai, I'll fuck your mother's eighteenth generation ancestor!" Zhao Dengju, Zhang Sheguang and other key generals of the Qing army also cursed with red eyes, completely ignoring that Zhangtai's eighteenth generation ancestor is the eighteenth generation ancestor of Kang Mazi, "  You stupid pig! Jiujiang fell, you are the number one sinner!"

    "Coach Man Gou ran away! Surrender not to kill! Man Gou coach ran away, surrender not to kill!" Han Daren had the guts to compete with Fatty Lu for the position of coach of Wu Jun's East Route Army.  If he fled, he immediately ordered the whole army to shout slogans to shake the morale of the Qing army and boost the morale of the army.  When the soldiers and generals of the Qing army heard such slogans and saw that Zhangtai's handsome flag had disappeared from the tower, their morale was in turmoil and their morale collapsed. They either surrendered or retreated and fled.  Controlled the city wall of Jiujiang West Gate.

    "Boom!" Without the interference from the bows, arrows, rolling stones and trees of the Qing army defenders, Wu Jun took the opportunity to cut off the suspension cables of the suspension bridge, and the suspension bridge crashed to the ground.  Creaking and crumbling, the soldiers of the Qing army inside the city gate were terrified, and they gave up resistance and fled into the city.  The cheers were like thunder, and the tide flooded into the city.

    At this time, the follow-up troops of the Wu army led by General Hu Tongchun and Quan Jie had already reached the base of the city, and entered the city directly along the opened gate.  Fleeing for their lives, Wu's army marched straight in and went straight to the depths of the street, shouting slogans of surrender and not killing, and seized important strongholds such as government offices, granaries, stables, and arsenals.  There were also several troops who went up the corridor separately, and flanked the remaining defenders of the Qing army on the city wall with the friendly troops who ascended the city.  Fires broke out in the city, and the sound of killing and crying shook the sky, almost like Shura's hell.

    At this point in the battle, even if Dong Weiguo returned to Jiujiang City, he would definitely not be able to recover. In desperation, Zhao Dengju, Zhang Sheguang and others had to hastily organize the remaining defeated soldiers around, and rushed along the city wall all the way to the north.  Fleeing for their lives at Shuimen Wharf, many troops also fled from the east gate of Jiujiang, where Wu Jun deliberately did not deploy troops to intercept them.  The four gates from east to west, north, south, and north were all screaming and chaotic, but there were very few generals who organized the defenders to start street fighting. They were all scrambling to escape from the city.

    At the same time, on the Yangtze River battlefield, the navy of the Qing army led by Yang Jie struggled upstream, and finally saw the shadow of Li Guodong, the navy of the Wu army, and news of the destruction of Jiujiang City came from behind.  In addition to unbelievable speed of Wu Jun's destruction of the city, Yang Jie also died and wanted to fight to the death with Li Guodong, the traitor who gave Yuezhou to Wu Jun.  Save as many brothers as you can save!"

    When the flag was played, the Qing army fleet quickly turned around and quickly retreated to the way it came.  Seeing this scene, generals at all levels of the Wu Jun Navy flocked to Li Guodong to ask for a battle, asking the whole army to attack and beat the dog in the water. Li Guodong replied with a smirk: "Don't worry, wait a little longer. Don't forget the battle that General Lu gave us.  In principle, the Mangou sailors don¡¯t move, we don¡¯t move; the Mangou sailors take the initiative to attack, we defend; the Mangou sailors flee, wait until they are full and defeat the soldiers, and then fight again!¡± Fatty Lu has completely led him to ruin  All the generals of the Wu Jun navy laughed grinningly together, and each went back to the boat and waited patiently.

    &nbsMost of the reason why I was able to capture Jiujiang smoothly was because of my good luck, and maybe I felt that I didn't have much real talent and learning.

    At this time, Gao Hongchen's army had also sent the battle report. After the cavalry led by Gao Hongchen successfully ambushed Dong Weiguo's army near Tongyuan, he forced Dong Weiguo to lead his army to flee to Poyang Lake.  When Dong Weiguo's army was about to be wiped out on the shore of Poyang Lake, two Qing army warships drilled out of Poyang Lake and picked up Dong Weiguo, Zhao Yingkui and others on board.  The tactical purpose of annihilating Dong Weiguo's army.

    "Dong Weiguo ran away?" Fatty Lu frowned, and hurriedly asked the messenger, "Where is the dog-man warship from? Did you see the flag? Could it be the man-dog warship from Raozhou or Hukou?  "

    "Back to the general, judging from the flag, it should be a full dog warship in Jiujiang." The messenger replied respectfully.

    "That's good." Fatty Lu breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Since it's Jiujiang Mangou's warship, then I don't have to worry about Dong Weihui being sent to Nanchang."

    "Brother Lu, why are you so sure?" Gao Dejie asked worriedly.

    "It's very simple. Dong Weiguo's suspicion of collaborating with the enemy has not been cleared up to now." Fatty Lu replied: "So even if Yang Jie had a hundred guts, he would not dare to send Dong Weiguo to Nanchang, Jiangxi, but would only send him to Anqing, Anhui.  Otherwise, once the Manchu court pursues it, it will be difficult for Yang Jie not to be implicated by Dong Weiguo."

    "That makes sense." Gao Dejie nodded, and then asked curiously: "Brother Lu, next step, do you plan to fight there first, Nanchang first, or Anqing first?"

    "This is the next step. The enemy's situation is ever-changing. We'd better adapt accordingly." Fatty Lu shook his head and said with a smile: "What I am most concerned about now is whether Zhangtai, a full dog, can break through our encirclement.  Is there any hope of a comeback?"

    "Master, why do you care about this?" Even Xiao Erlang couldn't help but interrupted and asked.

    "Stupid, for a good enemy like Zhangtai, of course I hope that he will live a long life, become a bigger official, and lead more soldiers." Fatty Lu replied with a wicked smile.  After thinking about it for a while, Fatty Lu beckoned Xiao Erlang to his face again, and whispered in his ear: "After Han Daren gathers the captive Man Gou, you can take a few people to find the Man Gou prisoners.  Look for it and see if you can find some of Zhangtai's confidantes or soldiers. If you find them, don't rush to cut their braids. First, treat them with good wine and food, and then when I am free, I will arrange for them to be taken away.  Bring it to me." (To be continued.

 Chapter 274

    ?

    "Junmen, Wugou's warships are chasing them! General Ji didn't entangle them all, at least half of Wugou's warships chased them up¡ª!"  Call.

    "God damn Wu Gou, you really have no shame!" After cursing a curse, Yang Jie hurried back to the flagship of the Qing army's navy.  The Wu army fleet composed of more than 20 large and medium-sized warships and many small ships, taking advantage of the north wind that was still blowing in the early spring and the benefit of the smooth water, was rushing towards the Qing army troop transport fleet with murderous aura.  Further upstream, there were thundering sounds of killing and thundering cannons. It was obvious that the rear fleet of Ji Chaozuo arranged by Yang Jie had been entangled by the division of Wu Jun's navy and could no longer provide reinforcements for the main troop carrier fleet.

    "We're going to lose, it depends on how many soldiers we can keep." Resignedly muttering in his heart, Yang Jie turned to Li Lian, the lieutenant next to him, and asked, "How far is it to the east bank of Poyang Lake?"

    "It's still thirty miles to go back to the military gate." Li Lian replied quickly.

    "Don't pay attention to Wu Dog's chasing soldiers!" Yang Jie ordered decisively: "Order the ships to throw all the useless food, grass and baggage overboard, reduce the load of the ships, sail at full speed, and approach the east bank of Poyang Lake at full speed for landing! Then tell the ships  Soldiers, we can't stop Wu Gou from chasing and killing us, if we want to survive, we must use our strength to paddle and shake the paddle!"

    "Zha!" Li Lian hit a thousand, and quickly went down to pass the order, so that the bannerman quickly played the banner.  Zhangtai Beizi, who had been hiding by the side, screamed in fear, "Landing on the east bank of Poyang Lake? Why don't you go directly to Anqing? What if Wu Gou crosses the lake to chase after him?"

    Yang Jie kept silent, and didn't bother to pay attention to Master Zhangtai Beizi who was extremely despised by himself and the Qing army officers and soldiers. His face was gloomy and he just watched the movement of Wu Jun's pursuit of soldiers nervously.  At this time, the warships of the Qing army that had received the order had already begun to throw away their luggage, throwing useless food, weapons and equipment down the Yangtze River one by one, in order to reduce the weight of the hull and increase the speed of the ship, but the usefulness of doing so was obviously not  It was very big, and after a short time, the lightly loaded and fast-moving Wu army warships still chased the tail of the Qing army fleet.  The military transport ships were shot countless times, and there were horrible screams and wails among the defeated Qing soldiers that crowded the deck.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Amidst the continuous roar of artillery, one after another the Qing troop carriers tilted their guns, or their hulls were cracked, or their masts were broken, and some shells fell directly on the deck.  On top of that, the deck full of Qing soldiers was blown up, and the Qing soldiers on the ship were crying and screaming, and countless fell into the water.

    "Boom!" A cannonball landed next to the flagship of the Qing army, rubbed against the side of the flagship, fell into the water and exploded, the water splashed wildly, and the hull shook violently, so frightened that Zhangtai Beizi screamed and even urinated on the spot  Pants.  Yang Jie remained expressionless, and just ordered: "Send someone to check the hull quickly to see if it was blown apart by Wu Gou's shells."

    ?The soldiers took the order to go, but Zhang Tai Beizi rushed forward, pulled Yang Jie's sleeve and cried, "General Yang, Yang Junmen, what should we do? What should we do? What should we do?"

    "What's the rush? The more powerful ones are yet to come!" Yang Jie yelled unbearably, and then said with a sneer: "The real horror will be when Wu Gou's warship rushes into our troop convoy.  If half of the troop carriers of our fleet can land on the east bank of Poyang Lake, it is already blessed by the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty."

    "What? There are more powerful ones?" The scream of Zhangtai Beizi became more miserable, and he almost collapsed on the deck in fear.  Yang Jie shook off his pull, and stood at the stern of the boat to see the situation of the Wu army's warships chasing troops. When the Wu army's warships caught up with the rear of the Qing army's troop transport fleet, they turned towards those who were carrying too many troops.  The heavy and slow Qing army ships threw countless alcohol incendiary bombs, which quickly ignited the Qing army warships, and the Qing army soldiers ran for their lives in the sea of ??flames, struggling in pain, crying loudly, and jumped into the Yangtze River with fire all over their bodies.

    Seeing this, Yang Jie closed his eyes lightly, and couldn't bear to continue watching, muttering in his mouth: "We lost, we lost, today's defeat is too miserable."  It was tears like rain.

    Just as Yang Jie said, the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the twenty-third day of the first month of the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi was indeed a day when the Qing army suffered a miserable defeat in front of the Wu army.  Before that, although the Qing army had suffered several defeats worse than this in front of the Wu army, what is quite commemorative is that this battle of Jiujiang was not only the first battle that the Qing army in Jiangxi suffered in front of the Wu army.  This was a big defeat, and it was also Fatty Lu's first absolute victory from the Qing army since he led the army independently.  Just as described by the mite remains of later generations, the fresh blood of the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty in JiujiangBag!  Fatty Lu raised his hand and gave Xiao Erlang a chestnut, and said angrily: "At this time, you should call the prisoners I told you to prepare, right?"  "

    "What do you mean?" Xiao Erlang became extremely confused.  The generals of the Wu army next to him looked at each other, burst into laughter suddenly, and stretched out their thumbs to Fatty Lu to express their praise¡ª¡ªwhat a motherfucker!

    "Brother Lu, will Mangou be fooled?" Gao Dejie asked with concern.

    "There is at least one full dog, and he will definitely be fooled!" Fatty Lu replied with a sinister smile: "Not only will he be fooled willingly, but he will definitely pull the full dogs from Anqing and Nanchang to be fooled together!"

    At noon that day, among the Fatty Army, who were still immersed in the joy of the siege victory, suddenly there was an explosive news-during the siege battle yesterday, Lu Yifeng, Lu Sanhao, the coach of the Wu Army¡¯s East Route Army, was unfortunately killed by Jiujiang.  The artillery of the Mangou garrison was hit and he was seriously injured. Just in order not to shake the morale of the army, he kept silent and went into the city to take over the city defense as if nothing happened.  But just today, the injury started to worsen, and his life is now in critical condition, he will die sooner or later!  All the doctors in the city, including Zhu Fangdan, Fatty Lu's assistant, the pervert genius doctor, were helpless about Fatty Lu's injury!  (To be continued.

 Chapter 275 God-given Opportunity

    ?

    "What? Ben Beizi hit Lu Yifeng's dog thief with a cannon during the battle? He was fatally injured?!"

    Hearing the news, Beizi Zhangtai, who was worrying about how to explain the rapid fall of Jiujiang to Miqing, couldn't believe his ears at first. After finally recovering, Beizi Zhangtai jumped up again and rushed down the hall  He grabbed the secret agent of the Qing army who came to report the letter, and shouted tremblingly with excitement, "Say it again! You are sure that you did not get the wrong information. Ben Beizi's artillery really beat Lu Yifeng to a serious injury.  Did you beat that thief Lu Yifeng who is called Lu Sanhao and whose master Long Live offered a reward of ten thousand gold for his head to serious injury?"

    "Back to Master Bei, it is absolutely true, it has been spread all over the city of Jiujiang, and it is absolutely unmistakable!" The Qing army replied happily: "The servant secretly sneaked back to Jiujiang under the order of Master Bei, looking for Yi Tan who disappeared in the scuffle.  General Bu, as soon as he sneaked into Jiujiang City, he heard rumors from the barbarians in the city and Wu's rebel army that Lu Yifeng's dog thief was seriously injured by your artillery, Bei Zi, and he was probably about to die.  So now the Wu dog bandits don't dare to cross the lake to chase and kill them, they are just trying their best to strengthen the defense of Jiujiang City. It looks like Lu Yifeng's dog bandits are arranging funeral arrangements, and are going to defend Jiujiang first, waiting for the old bandit Wu Sangui to send another commander to take over  !"

    "God bless! The ancestors of the Qing Dynasty bless you!" Zhangtai Beizi cried with joy, and couldn't help shouting to the sky.  The Qing army generals Yang Jie, Zhang Sheguang, Zhao Dengju and other Qing army generals next to them were also surprised, happy and unbelievable, and they asked the spy together: "Are you sure? Are you sure that Lu Yifeng's dog thief was seriously injured by our artillery?"  Did you see it with your own eyes?"

    "Back to all generals, Lu Yifeng's thief is hiding in the back office of Wu Gou's handsome hall. Of course, the villain can't see it with his own eyes."  It is said that on the day of the siege, Lu Yifeng's dog thief was severely injured by our army's artillery.  I just can't hold it anymore. In addition, the villain also heard that Lu Yifeng's injuries are so serious that even a genius doctor named Zhu can't do anything, and it's only a matter of time before he dies."

    "Come on, call my master!" Zhangtai Beizi shouted excitedly, "Let him write a memorial for Ben Beizi, to win Anqing, Xiang Nanchang, and Master Long Live! Ben Beizi led the army in a bloody battle,  Severely injure Lu Yifeng, the coach of the Wugou Eastern Route Army and the pseudo-conscript General of the East¡ªa dog thief!"

    "You led the army to a bloody battle?" All the generals of the Qing army rolled their eyes, especially Zhao Dengju, who was still seriously injured, spit quietly.

    "Master Bei, please calm down. Please don't worry." Yang Jie was calmer, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Lu Yifeng's dog thief is known for his tricks, he was seriously injured by our artillery, it's not too late to tell if it's true or not."  Confirmed, we must send scouts to infiltrate Jiujiang again, carefully investigate and confirm, lest our army fall into Lu Yifeng's tricks again."

    "Fart!" Master Zhangtai Beizi was furious, and shouted: "The news has already spread all over Jiujiang City, how can this be false? Besides, this Beizi is familiar with military books and has a deep understanding of strategy, and Lu Yifeng is a thief in the meeting."  Trick? Is Lu Yifeng a thief stupid or crazy, will he curse himself for being seriously injured? What is his purpose?"

    Master Beizi of Zhangtai is narrow-minded, and the old and sophisticated Yang Jie knows it well. It is nothing more than that he cannot explain to the Qing court the guilt of Jiujiang¡¯s fall.  You have to hold on to it, even if the life-saving straw is covered with poisonous thorns or coiled with poisonous snakes, Master Zhangtai Beizi will never let go.

    But after careful calculation, Yang Jie found out that Zhangtai Beizi's words were not unreasonable. At least for now, there is no reason for Fatty Lu to resort to tricks.  The morale is high and the soldiers are sharp. Cross the lake to pursue the defeated Qing army, or take the opportunity to attack Anqing or Nanchang.  Now Fatty Lu is doing the opposite, choosing to stand still and vigorously strengthen the defense of Jiujiang City. This is enough to prove that Master Zhangtai Beizi really had shit luck the day before yesterday. He accidentally injured Fatty Lu with artillery during the battle of defending the city.  The dragons have no leader, so naturally they can only choose to stick to Jiujiang.

    "Generals, you can think clearly." Seeing the silence of the generals in the Qing army, Master Zhangtai Beizi took the opportunity to stir up, "Think about it, what a crime it is for the fall of Jiujiang? Long live the court and the master, of course Beizi  Bear the brunt of it, but what about you? You say you can escape? Even if you don¡¯t get beheaded and ransacked your home, you probably won¡¯t be able to get away with being dismissed from office and downgraded, right? Don¡¯t you have to learn from the former governor of Pianyuan, Lu Zhen?  It was the old thief Oboi who lost the battle and lost all of Pian Yuan's main force, causing Pian Yuan to fall, and in the end Lu Zhen was also escorted to Beijing and sent to the sky prison, isn't he a lesson for you?"

    &nbIt was just for the sake of surrendering anyway, and just waiting for the Qing army to launch a counterattack, they revolted in the city and opened the city gate to welcome the Qing army to enter the city to kill the thieves.

    "God help me Daqing, God help me Zhangtai!" Zhangtai Beizi danced with joy, wishing to hug Qiu Sheng and kiss him a few times.  After finally calming down, Master Zhangtai Beizi quickly calculated for a moment, and then asked Qiu Sheng: "Qiu Sheng, I have an errand for you, Beizi, do you dare to do it?"

    "The master ordered, the slave is so heartbroken that he will go through fire and water." Qiu Sheng replied respectfully.

    "Do you dare to go back to Jiujiang City?" Zhangtai Beizi asked nervously: "I have a letter that I want you to take back and give to Itanbu, and then I will let you help Yitanbu.  Your own reward."

    "This" Qiu Sheng showed embarrassment¡ªby the way, this unlucky little brother Qiu is Fatty Lu's death, and it is true that Yitanbu sent him to contact Zhangtai, but there is something behind Yitanbu's back.  Without other claws, brother Qiu would not know about it, so it would be hard for him to escape back to Hukou. Naturally, brother Qiu didn't want to go back to that wolf's den and tiger's mouth in Jiujiang.

    "Why? Don't you dare?" Master Zhangtai Beizi raised his face.

    "The master ordered, how dare the slave refuse to obey?" Qiu Shengsong replied, pulling his head.

    "Very good." Master Zhangtai Pei nodded in satisfaction, then patted Qiu Sheng on the shoulder and promised: "After the matter is completed, I will reward you with one thousand taels of silver, which is enough for you to live happily for the rest of your life."

    Qiu Sheng began to be moved, and mustered up the courage to kowtow and agree.  At that moment, Master Zhangtaibei immediately wrote a letter to his confidant Itanbu. He first praised Itanbu greatly, and then made an agreement with Yitanbu to let Yitanbu wait patiently in Jiujiang City, and he would lead the army back again in the near future.  Back to Jiujiang, when the time comes, Yitanbu will cause trouble in the city, and the inside and outside will attack Jiujiang City in one fell swoop, wipe out Wugou in the city, and avenge the blood of the day before yesterday!

    After sealing the letter and handing it over to Qiu Sheng, and sending his confidant to send Qiu Sheng across the lake overnight, Master Bei Zi of Zhangtai immediately picked up a pen and gave it to Zhao Guozuo, the guard of Nanchang City, in the honor of the Great General Dingyuan Jingkou of the Qing Dynasty.  He issued a deadly order with the commander-in-chief, ordering them to send 20,000 troops to the north at high speed, to join the self-armed army in Nankang Fucheng, and jointly counterattack Jiujiang!  In the end, regardless of the darkness of the night, Master Beizi Zhangtai picked up the letter written by Itanbu and hurriedly went to find Hilgen's deputy Minister of Rites, Hargaqi, and prepared to encourage the Qing army in Anqing to also send out a large army to fight against Nanchang.  The Qing army joined forces to counterattack Jiujiang, and it was a shame and a shame to defend the city the day before yesterday!

    "Wu Gou! I'll wait for Master Bei! I am familiar with military books and have a deep understanding of strategy. A few days ago, I accidentally let you pick up a little bargain. Don't be too happy! This time, I will not take Jiujiang City.  Take it back again, if you don¡¯t kill all of you, I am not a descendant of Aixinjueluo!¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 276

    ?

    "Is this Itambu reliable?"

    Different from the recklessness and credulity of Zhangtai Beizi, the deputy general Qing Dingnan and the Minister of Rites Hargaqi are obviously calmer. After carefully reading the letter sent by Qiu Sheng sent by Itanbu, after a long time of calculation, Hargaqi asked  Zhangtai Beizi asked: "How much do you know about Yitanbu, this slave? Do you think he can use such courage and ability to organize our army to surrender in Jiujiang City?"

    "Master Ha, please rest assured that Yitanbu is absolutely reliable. The younger generation is familiar with military books and has a deep understanding of military strategies. He is very reliable in judging people." Zhangtai Beizi patted his chest and said: "Itanbu is our mite state.  Zhenghongqi's assistant leader was born, capable of fighting, brave and resourceful, loyal to the emperor and the Qing court, and dedicated himself! This time because of the rebellion, he opened the city gate to welcome Wu Dog into Jiujiang City.  He was forced to surrender only after he lost the street battle, and it is normal for him to trick Wu Gou into trusting him and organize our troops to surrender, and he has the ability to do so."

    Hal Gaqi stopped talking, but read Itanbu's letter carefully again, contemplating deeply.  Zhangtai Beizi was afraid of missing this great opportunity to redeem his sins and shame, so he hurriedly urged: "Master Ha, this opportunity is not to be missed, and it will never come again. Now Wugou's coach Lu Yifeng is seriously injured and dying, and his left and right assistants Gao Dejie  The two thieves, Han Daren and Han Daren, fought for power and profit, and our Qing army launched a counterattack. Not only can we immediately retake Jiujiang City, but we can also defeat Wugou, and even wipe out Wugou!"

    "If you miss this opportunity, miss this heaven-sent opportunity, wait until the old thief Wu Sangui sends another lackey to replace the dog thief Lu Yifeng, Wu Dog's army is stable, or Wu Dog withdraws his troops and returns to Huguang, then it will be very difficult to wipe them out.  "

    In order to drag the main force of the Qing Dynasty in Anqing into the water, and help him make amends to the Qing court, Master Zhangtai Beizi showed his eloquent tongue and exaggerated the internal problems of Jiujiang's Wu army a hundred times, advocating how easy it is for the Qing army to counterattack Jiujiang.  Simple, no matter how unrivaled the credit, he was spitting and eloquent, while Halgaqi frowned and calculated nervously.  It wasn't until Zhangtai Beizi's voice became hoarse and his mouth was dry that Halgaqi hesitated and said: "From the current situation, it is indeed a great opportunity to counterattack Jiujiang, but I can't be the master, I must  With the consent of General Hilgen."

    "Master Ha, how about you and I jointly write a letter to General Hilgen?" Master Zhangtai Beizi asked impatiently.

    "For such an important matter, I must present it to General Hilgen, report the situation of Wugou in Jiujiang to him, and discuss with him whether to send troops to counterattack." Halgaqi replied.

    "Then when will Mr. Ha return to Anqing, and I will go with you to meet General Hilgen?" Master Zhangtai asked nervously again.

    "No rush, before that, I have one more thing to do." Halgazi said: "I have to confirm the injury of Lu Yifeng's dog thief, to see if he was seriously injured by your artillery."

    "Does this still need to be confirmed?" Zhangtai Beizi screamed, "Lu Yifeng's dog thief was seriously injured by my artillery, and the news spread all over Jiujiang City and outside the city. Can there be a fake?"

    "Why don't you need to confirm?" Halgaqi said with a serious face and sneered, "Master Bei, you probably haven't heard how cunning this thief Lu Yifeng is, have you? Over the years, he has been working for and monitoring the master.  The old thief Wu Sangui secretly provided the old thief Wu Sangui with endless information about the Qing army, betrayed countless secrets of the Qing Dynasty, played tricks on countless officials of the Qing Dynasty, and made countless famous officials of the Qing Dynasty eat up in front of him.  What a loss! Dealing with such a cunning barbarian, if you are not prepared to be careful, what if you fall into the trap again?"

    "Then, how does Lord Ha plan to confirm the injury of Lu Yifeng's dog thief?" Zhangtai Beizi asked helplessly.

    "General Hilgen has already made arrangements." Halgazi said with a sneer, "It's also our luck. Prince Pingnan Shang Kexi sent his bodyguard Zhang Yongxiang to Beijing with his watch. He happened to pass by Anqing the day before yesterday. General Hilgen knew that Lu Yifeng  The dog thief is the son-in-law of Prince Pingnan, and he also knew that Shang Wanyi, the wife of Lu Yifeng's dog thief, had been taken back to Guangdong by Prince Pingnan, so he asked Zhang Yongxiang to send another deputy to Beijing to present the master, and let Zhang Yongxiang come with me  Hukou. It is intended to use the relationship between Prince Pingnan and Lu Yifeng's son-in-law to let Zhang Yongxiang pretend to be the emissary of Pingnan Prince, and go to Jiujiang City to meet Lu Yifeng, pretending to persuade Lu Yifeng's dog thief to take the opportunity to observe Lu Yifeng's dog thief  of injuries."

    "Really?" Zhangtai Beizi was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Then I will arrange a boat, and tomorrow I will send Prince Pingnan, a bodyguard, across the lake to meet Lu Yifeng's dog thief."

    Haer Gaqi nodded in agreement. At that moment, Beizi Zhangtai prepared the boat overnight. In the early morning of the next day, Hargaqi sent Zhang Yongxiang, the guard of the Pingnan Palace, to take the boat with gifts and fly a white flag.The power was temporarily handed over to Yang Jie, and then boarded the ship with Ha Ergaqi and others, and went eastward to Anqing with the wind and water, and Zhang Yongxiang, who saw Fatty Lu's injury with his own eyes, also accompanied the ship, and went to Anqing to make a statement to Hilgen face to face  The situation of Fatty Lu.

    Now let¡¯s talk about the situation of Miqing¡¯s Dingnan General Hilgen. After Ao Bai, Ye Bilong and other Mite veterans were killed in battle, this Juercha Hilgen is basically the oldest of Mite Qing  Veteran, he participated in the Ningjin War as Huang Taiji's personal bodyguard at the earliest, and later participated in the Pidao War, Songshan Battle, and Mite Qing's five times bypassing Shanhaiguan and entering the Central Plains. The battlefield experience is almost  It can be compared with old traitor Wu - it also joined the war two years later than old traitor Wu.

    What's more rare is that Hilgen is the only veteran of the Qing army who has experience in water warfare, and the results are also very fruitful.  It is precisely because of this that after the Wu army raised troops, Kang Mazi entrusted him with Anqing, the first gate in the south of the Yangtze River, and also entrusted him with the command of most of the Eight Banners cavalry drawn from the north¡ªexcept for this  Apart from the veteran generals of his grandfather's generation, Kang Mazi really couldn't find anyone to lead these arrogant soldiers.  Fatty Lu, who is almost a fledgling, meets an experienced mite Qing veteran like him, what will happen?  Beat the master to death with random punches?  ¡ª¡ªTo be honest, I'm afraid even Fatty Lu himself has no idea.

    Sooner or later, we should meet again. When Hargaqi, Zhangtai and Zhang Yongxiang returned to Anqing, they listened carefully to Zhang Yongxiang's report, repeatedly questioned the details, and bowed their heads to analyze for a long time. Finally, Hilgen  He raised his head, looked at the dozens of Mite Qing Dutong, Deputy Dutong who were eager to try, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? You can't hold it anymore?"

    "Back to the general, I can't hold it anymore!" Ghent Baturu was the first to shout, "Please give the order to the general!"

    "General, please order! Counterattack Jiujiang and wipe out Wugou!"  Ketuo, Kwalanda Qilanbu, Hudala, Omu, Bofeiyangu, Xitku, Jueluo Laihua, Yilaishen, Geseli, Eqi, Jueluofulata, Mu Heiling and  Nikan, wait, wait, Qing army generals, roar together!  ¡ª¡ªFrom this series of long lists, it can be seen that Fatty Lu, who has no virtue, has encountered such a terrifying group of dogs this time.

    "General, please don't worry about the navy." E Nai, the commander of the Qingshui Army, roared, "The warships that Jiangning governor Mu Tianyan processed day and night, together with the 5,000 new sailors, have all been delivered  Anqing, now our Daqingshui division in Anqing has a hundred sand-washing boats and more than 120 bluffing bird boats, which are almost four times the number of Wugou warships in Jiujiang! Not to mention counterattacking Jiujiang, it is counterattacking Wuchang,  Both Yuezhou and Jingzhou are more than sufficient!"

    "Then let's fight." Hilgen smiled, and ordered casually: "This is the general's order to send 43,000 troops to counterattack Jiujiang. We must wipe out the enemies of Wu Goudong, and we will pacify Wu for our Qing Dynasty."  Dog Chaos is off to a good start.¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 277

    ?

    Fatty Lu did not hesitate to sacrifice his reputation and body, cleverly designed a poisonous scheme, and lured the enemy to a decisive battle under the city of Jiujiang. The bad idea finally succeeded!

    ?Wu Jun sentry sent a report, south of Nanchang Manchu Zhao Guozha, Xibu Department, dispatched 20,000 troops, led by the Qing Dynasty veteran Zhao Guozha himself, along the Jiangxi official road, and rushed towards Jiujiang with a murderous look!  But this is nothing, the real horror is still in the east. Anqing Mangou Xiergen sent 43,000 troops, led by Miqing Veteran and Dingnan General Xiergen himself, first crossed the Yangtze River to the south and landed in Chizhou.  Then turn the road westward, take both water and land routes, and head towards Jiujiang with a murderous spirit. The warships on the river are like crucian carp crossing the river, densely packed, and the ground is like ants riding like ants.  Pentium like a stream, turbulent like a tide!

    Although the bad idea was successful, new troubles came one after another. In particular, there were two big problems, which made Fatty Lu a headache and extremely nervous.  The first question is that this is the first time that Fatty Lu has commanded such a large-scale large-scale battle. The total number of troops participating in the battle from both sides has exceeded 110,000.  A large-scale battle conducted under preconditions is undoubtedly an extremely serious test for Fatty Lu who has only participated in similar battles as a staff officer.

    The second question comes from the navy. Before the fat man's army marched eastward, Wu Jun's scouts had repeatedly confirmed that Anqing's mite Qingshui division only had more than a hundred main warships of various types, about the same number as the fat man's navy.  This point is certainly a great threat to the Fatty Army Navy who holds the advantage of the upper reaches and the torpedo to return to the sky, but it is not completely without hope of defeating the strong with the weak.

    It's just that what Fatty Lu and the others didn't expect was that during the period when Fatty's army sent troops to the east, they once had a relationship with Fatty Lu, the legendary good friend of Lord Wei, and the governor of Qingjiang Ning.  Mu Tianyan actually sent more than a hundred brand new warships and five thousand new sailors to the Anqing Qing army, which suddenly quadrupled the strength of the Anqing Qing army's navy and the fat man's navy!  In this way, not only the famous traitor Li Guodong, the commander of the Fatty Army Navy, turned pale, but even the always arrogant and confident Lu Fatty began to panic. How could he attack the Jiangnan Water Village, which is densely covered with rivers and lakes, without a navy?

    "Damn it, it's no wonder that old traitor Wu Sangui agreed to let me fight Nanjing. He managed to beat Yang Jie away on the water, and another E Nai with more boats came. Without the advantage of the navy, it was impossible to fight down.  It doesn't matter how many promises he made! For this old traitor, asking me to send troops to northern Jiangxi is not so much asking me to capture northern Jiangxi and go directly to Jiangnan, but rather asking me to hold Jiangnan full of dogs for him.  Elite, protect his rear in Yuanyuan, and buy time for the Shaanxi-Gansu battlefield where his main force is! Old thing! Old fox! Old traitor! Old man!"

    Quietly scolding the old man Wu bloody in his stomach, Fatty Lu tried hard to calm himself down, and began to analyze the enemy's offensive strategy and strategy to defeat the enemy.  If there is no accident, the Zhao Guozuo Department of the Qing Army in Nanchang, which is closer to the road, will first arrive at Nankangfu City, which is less than 40 miles away from Jiujiang, on the 30th day of the first lunar month the day after tomorrow-this is an insignificant ordinary city.  , there is no danger to defend, and there is little money and food to earn, and Fatty Lu pretended to be wounded to lure the enemy, so the Fatty Army has never been free to recover, but after Zhao Guozuo's army went north, it will definitely choose to use this  It is also possible to choose this place as a granary, or as a stronghold for Anqing Qing army to cross the lake.

    As for the Anqing Qing army, based on the distance and the speed of the Qing army's march, it is likely that the Anqing Qing army arrived at the west bank of Poyang Lake within two days of the first or second day of February. Fortunately, the navy of the Anqing Qing army  Although there were many warships, they were still unable to carry all the Qing troops across the lake at one time. That is to say, the Wu army still had a good opportunity to attack the Anqing Qing army halfway across.  At the same time, because the two Qing armies from Nanchang and Anqing could not arrive at the same time, the fat man's army still had a chance to defeat the two Qing armies separately¡ªof course, this was only a theoretical opportunity.  The well-known, treacherous and cunning Zhao Guozuo must rely on danger and wait for reinforcements from the Anqing Qing army, so that the wishful thinking of the fat army will come to naught.

    Fatty Lu, who is treacherous and suspicious, is timid, resourceful, and dare not make up his mind to formulate various tactics to defeat him. Gao Dejie and Han Daren, the right and left assistants assigned to Fatty Lu by the old traitor Wu, don't think so.  After hearing the news, the two natural enemies rushed to Fatty Lu together, asking for orders to go to battle with one voice, and asked to lead an army to go south alone to intercept the weaker Zhao Guozhu army, laying a good foundation for the Jiujiang battle.

    "Brother Lu, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you can't miss it!" Gao Dejie said loudly: "Many dogs come from two directions, attacking separately, fighters are rare, don't want too many, give me three to five thousand cavalry, go for you  Cut off the dog's head of old Zhao Guozuo and use it as a chamber pot!"

    &Running and hacking in the ground, setting fires everywhere, the soldiers of the Qing army panicked and feared, jumping into the river to escape for their lives, or going up the mountain to escape for their lives.  The cavalry of the Wu army showed no mercy, they only picked places where there were many Qing soldiers, and desperately reaped the lives of the recruits of the Qing army. There was also a cavalry that directly charged at Zhao Guozuo's Chinese army.

    "What's going on? Since Wu Gou had an ambush long ago, why did he refuse to rescue his allies at first? Could it be that Wu Gou's internal strife has reached the point where he refuses to rescue each other? Or, Wu Gou's coach has already expected that I will send the elite  Concentrate the soldiers in the front team?" Zhao Guozuo was still thinking about this question until he was forcibly mounted on a horse and fled south for his life by his own soldiers.

    "Da Zhou!" Amidst the roar, Wu Jun's cavalry rushed even more violently, and the sharp sabers slashed down like a storm, the steel sword gradually turned into a blood knife, and the horse's hoof gradually turned into a blood hoof, and correspondingly,  It is the corpses of Qing soldiers on the battlefield that are getting more and more high, and the dead are all over the mountains and plains, with blood flowing into canals.  The flames on the siege equipment originally used to attack the city wall of Jiujiang burned more and more vigorously, and the military equipment and corpses of the Qing soldiers rushed into the Xiushui, which blocked the Xiushui.

    The blood of the Qing soldiers once again stained the top of the Qing traitor Fatty Lu!  (To be continued.

    ?

    (ps: It¡¯s almost the end of the month, and the results of this month¡¯s monthly pass and rewards are very dismal. Have friends forgotten the pure wolf?)

    When the two brothers Han Daren and Han Yuanren were escorted back to Jiujiang City by the whole festival, they were naturally greeted by complex eyes from the Wu army officers and men in the city, including angry eyes, contemptuous eyes, gloating eyes, and disappointed eyes.  , but more or less pity is carried in more eyes.

    Under countless gazes like this, the two brothers Han Daren and Han Yuanren really wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, but regretted why their brothers didn't kill themselves on the spot, why did they accept Quanjie's rescue, and followed Quanjie back to Jiujiang City  To suffer such disgrace?  However, Quan Jie, who managed to rescue the Han Daren brothers from the pursuit of the Qing army, was merciless. While letting the Han Daren soldiers, who had only more than 3,000 people left, go to the station for rest and treatment, they personally escorted Han Daren  The brothers rushed to the Wu Jun headquarters and handed over to Fatty Lu for punishment.

    In front of the gate of the Wu Army headquarters, Fatty Lu, who had received the news, had already sent his confidant soldier Xiao Erlang to the gate to greet him. After the meeting, he saluted first, and then said to Quan Jie and Han Daren brothers: "General,  Two generals, my young master has been waiting for you in the lobby for a long time, please come in."

    Quan Jie agreed, and was about to enter the door, but Han Daren said timidly: "General Xiao, can I trouble you with something?"

    "Of course." Xiao Erlang nodded, and without waiting for Han Daren to speak, he hurriedly said, "But General Han, if you intend to ask me to help you find two ropes and two thorns for you, that's fine. My young master  Having said that, this move is too old-fashioned, please General Han think of something new."

    The faces of the two brothers Han Daren and Han Yuanren turned pale together. They were amazed at Fatty Lu's foresight, but also understood that Fatty Lu would never spare his brother lightly this time¡ªdon't look at his brother's relationship with Hu Guozhu  Even if Fatty Lu killed his two brothers in such a matter, Hu Guozhu, who has always been fair in the Pingxi Palace, would not gossip, and the traitor Wu, who attached great importance to military discipline, would even raise his hands in support.

    In desperation, the Han Daren brothers also gave up their thoughts of pleading guilty, and honestly followed Xiao Erlang and Quan Jie into the gate, and then came to the meeting hall where Fatty Lu gave orders.  At this time, Xiao Erlang ordered again: "Two Generals Han, my young master has an order, please kneel here and wait, and he will send you in later." Han Daren and Han Yuanren did not dare to disobey, they knelt down obediently together,  Waiting tremblingly for Fatty Lu to announce the result, he followed Xiao Erlang into the lobby during the whole festival and reported to Fatty Lu the whole process of rescuing the Han Daren brothers.

    Generals of the Wu army kept coming to check the situation after hearing the news, but the Han Daren brothers were usually proud of their talents, and they liked to fight for merit and step on their colleagues to climb up.  Although there were many generals in the Wu army, none of them expressed their desire to intercede for Brother Han Daren. They all watched the excitement and patiently waited for the results of Fatty Lu's treatment. Many people even sneered and gloated.  Brother Han Daren was even more embarrassed, his forehead was pressed against the ground, his face was burning with embarrassment, and he didn't even dare to take a breath.

    The Han Daren brothers waited for a long time for Fatty Lu's decision, but they waited for the two brothers' rivals Gao Dejie and Gao Hongchen cousins ??to come back.  The cousins ??were all blood-stained, but the faces of the national characters covered with sweat, blood and dust were full of happy smiles. Fatty Lu also greeted the two Gao brothers in person, and congratulated the two brothers of the Gao family, "Brother Dajie, General Hong Chen  , I heard that you not only won the battle this time, but also won a big victory, congratulations, congratulations."

    "It's all thanks to Brother Lu's divine calculation that Zhao Guozuo really arranged all the new recruits in the Chinese army brigade, let us kill them!" Gao Dejie laughed and said: "At least seven thousand beheaded, our army lost  With less than three hundred, Nanchang was full of dog food, supplies, and military weapons, all of which were burned by us!"

    "The last general chopped off the heads of three full-fledged soldiers with his own hands!" Gao Hongchen lit up the heads in his hands, held them up with both hands and smiled at Fatty Lu: "Please accept it, General!"

    As soon as the words fell, all the generals of the Wu army present were cheering and congratulating, and Fatty Lu was also overjoyed, and announced on the spot: "Okay, come quickly, hang the heads of these three full-fledged soldiers on the gate of the city!"  Order, the three thousand soldiers who went out with Brother Da Jie and Brother Hong Chen will be rewarded heavily, and each will be rewarded with two taels of silver, no, three taels of silver! For the brothers who died in battle, the pension will be tripled!"

    "The last general is waiting to thank the general on behalf of the brothers." Brothers Gao Dejie and Gao Hongchen hurriedly saluted and thanked.  Fatty Lu laughed and went to help Gao Dejie and Gao Hongchen, and said with a smile: "You two generals, don't be polite. If it's not for worrying about the lack of military use, I really want to reward you more. Come on, come on, please come in quickly  Sit down in the lobby?After Jiujiang City, because of Gao Dejie¡¯s refusal to rescue Han Daren, there was a big quarrel. I was seriously injured and dying, and I was powerless to suppress it. The internal strife in Jiujiang City was already on the verge of breaking out.  As for why this news was not delivered to the east bank of Poyang Lake in time, let's use the excuse that the two armies of our army went out of the city to fight and sealed the city tightly.  "

    "The letter is not difficult to write, but will Mangou be fooled?" Wang Shaobo asked doubtfully.

    "Give it a try, other than that, I can't think of any better way at the moment." Fatty Lu smiled wryly, and said with relief: "However, I can be sure that the news that I am seriously injured and dying,  It must have been sent to Beijing as a life-saving straw by that stupid pig in Zhangtai, and after receiving such a report, the Emperor Mangou will definitely order Anqing Mangou and Nanchang Mangou to counterattack Jiujiang and wipe out our leaderless Eastern Expedition  Great army, against the arrogance of our army¡¯s six-way attack¡ªI can think of this, and Hilgen can definitely think of this.¡±

    "He thought of this, so he must have to worry about the consequences of withdrawing troops." Fatty Lu analyzed in a dark tone: "Now there is no conclusive evidence whether I have been seriously injured. If Hillen withdraws troops here, not only will the generals  If it proves that I am seriously injured and will die in the future, the pockmarked emperor will definitely not let him go, and there will be countless little shoes and scapegoats waiting for him. So if my predictions are correct, Hill  Gen should at least bring the army to the mouth of the lake, wait for further confirmation of my injuries, and then decide whether to cross the lake and attack the city!"

    "It makes sense, my master is really clever." Wang Shaobo nodded, and then smiled: "There is also Zhang Tai, a full-fledged son, who will be willing to believe that the master is really seriously injured for the sake of saving himself and atonement, and will try his best to encourage Hill.  Lied to the root."

    "Hilgen's old man is very scheming, Zhang Tai's words are bullshit in front of him, he will definitely not listen." Fatty Lu put his thumbs on his brows, and said in a deep voice: "Whether the plan to lure the enemy to a decisive battle under the city of Jiujiang can be completely successful?  Now we are powerless, and even old man Hilgen can¡¯t make a final decision. Whether we can succeed, whether old Hilgen will give up attacking Jiujiang To be honest, it depends on luck and God¡¯s will.¡±

    "It depends on luck?" Wang Shaobo smiled, and said, "Master, when you formulate tactics and strategies, you never consider luck. Why did you change your nature today and say that it depends on luck?"

    "It really depends on luck this time." Fatty Lu sighed, and murmured, "The attitude of the Emperor Mangou, the attitude of the generals under Sir Gen, and the progress of the other five-way armies of our army.  And moving the whole body may affect the decision-making of old man Hilgen. Which of these things can be influenced by me? But fortunately, even if the plan to lure the enemy to a decisive battle under Jiujiang City fails completely, I will  There is still the option of attacking Nanchang first and then Anqing, but Mr. Hilgen probably doesn¡¯t have the guts to leave Nanchang alone and lead the army back to Anqing.¡±

    Fatty Lu¡¯s luck seems to have always been bad, even though Yitanbu, according to Fatty Lu¡¯s request, sent Qiu Sheng, who was still kept in the dark, to cross the lake overnight and sent Fatty Lu¡¯s letter to Qing Dynasty on the other side of Poyang Lake.  In the barracks, but Qiu Sheng did not return this time, and did not return to the west bank of Poyang Lake.  But in the afternoon of the next day, which was also the afternoon of the first day of February, the scout ship of the Wu army sent to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River for reconnaissance reported that the Qing army in Anqing, which had arrived in Pengze in the early morning of the first day of February, suddenly stopped marching westward and chose to go westward.  stationed.

    In this way, even if Fatty Lu analyzed it with his toes, he would be able to guess the reason. After receiving the news of Zhao Guozuo's disastrous defeat, the old fox Xiergen must have begun to suspect that he was cheating to lure the enemy.  !  (To be continued.

 Chapter 279 Old Fox VS Slippery Loach

    ?

    Fatty Lu and his ugly master Wang Shaobo both seem to have the potential of being a master. Just as they analyzed and guessed, the Han Daren brothers went out privately to intercept and kill the Zhao Guojiao Department of the Qing Army in Nanchang. Fatty Lu predicted that the pair of living treasure brothers would definitely lose  But without any longer-term considerations, he short-sightedly chose to make the wrong mistake, and dispatched Gao Dejie's elite cavalry from the Wu Army to ambush the Nanchang Qing Army Brigade.  In the end, the battle was won, and the harvest was quite rich, but this inevitably aroused the vigilance of the Qing army, especially the Qing army veteran who was called an old fox by Fatty Lu, who was even more decisive.  Ordering the Anqing Qing army to stop advancing, Fatty Lu's carefully formulated tactical plan to lure the enemy to a decisive battle under the city of Jiujiang is also in danger of aborting.

    In the early morning of the second day after the Anqing Qing army was ordered to stop in Pengze, Hal Gaqi, minister of the Ministry of Rites of Mite Qing, and Zhang Tai, the son of Mite Qing Bei, joined forces to come to the tent of the central army in Hilgen, and Hal Gaqi personally reported to Xie  Er Genzou reported: "General, according to your order, Qiu Sheng, the former personal soldier of Master Zhangtai Beizi, was taken to the camp of our army in Pengze last night, may I see you now, General.  "

    "See you now." Hilgen, whose rat braids were all white, agreed casually, but his eyes stayed on the map sand table near Jiujiang, and he kept calculating the distance and the comparison of the strength of the troops, as well as the route of the army's advance and retreat.  Hargaqi, Zhangtai and others waited patiently in the big tent, preparing to accompany Hilgen to interrogate Qiu Sheng's statement.

    Not a moment later, Qiu Sheng with a wretched face was escorted into the big tent. As soon as he entered the tent, Qiu Sheng crawled on the ground and kowtowed, tremblingly said: "The slave Han army is on the yellow flag Qiu Sheng, I will send my greetings to General Nan, master  Please."

    Hilgen finally raised his head, and a pair of eagle eyes and falcon eyes swept across Qiu Sheng's face like cold electricity, staring at Qiu Sheng until his heart was hairy, his face turned pale, and his whole body couldn't help shaking like a sieve.  Fortunately, after Hilgen found that Qiu Sheng didn't seem like the kind of person who had the guts to deceive himself for Wu Jun, he quickly looked away, and picked up the 'Itanbu' secret letter sent by Yang Jie quickly.  The letter asked very kindly: "Brother Qiu, don't be afraid, tell the old man, did Yitanbu really hand over this letter to you?"

    "I don't dare to be a slave, I don't dare to be." Qiu Sheng was both happy and flattered, and quickly kowtowed and replied: "Back to the general, the slave dares to swear on the head of the head, this letter was indeed handed over to the slave by Itanbu himself.  He also told the servants that this letter is of great importance, even if you lose your head, you must not lose this letter! Otherwise, not only will there be countless Qing soldiers who are still loyal to the Qing court in Jiujiang City  If the heads fall, my Qing army's plan to recover Jiujiang will also fail."

    "Oh, so to speak, you have indeed made contributions to the Qing court." Hilgen nodded in satisfaction, and then asked very kindly: "Brother Qiu, then I will ask you again, the suggestions made a few days ago  Chang Zhan, how much do you really know in Jiujiang City? Don¡¯t be afraid, and don¡¯t be afraid of trifles, just say it.¡±

    "General, I really can't afford to be a slave. You should call me Qiu Sheng by my name." Qiu Sheng kowtowed again and again, and replied honestly: "Back to the general, this slave doesn't know much, but only listens to the thieves in Wugou's army.  The soldiers said that first Wugou Han Daren led the troops out of the city without authorization, then Han Daren¡¯s nemesis Gao Dejie also led the troops out, and then he also led the troops out of the city during the whole festival. Finally, at noon the day before yesterday, the servant heard that Han Daren had eaten  The big defeat was all due to Wu Gou Quanjie rescuing him back to the city, and I heard that Gao Dejie won a big victory and killed many soldiers of our Qing Dynasty."

    "Then after Han Daren and Gao Dejie returned to the city, what happened when they met?" Hilgen asked, "And after Han Daren returned to the city, was he punished by Wu Gou Lu Yifeng? Gao Dejie  What rewards did his army receive after returning to the city in victory? How much do you know?"

    "This" Qiu Sheng hesitated for a while, and replied with a sad face: "Back to the general, I don't know, I don't know."

    "You are in Jiujiang City, how could you not know anything about it?" Hargaqi shouted angrily.

    "Master Ha, I really can't blame the servant for this." Qiu Sheng hurriedly kowtowed, and replied honestly: "Because General Yitanbu told the servant that the servant is the soldier of Beizi, the traitor who surrendered to Wugou in Jiujiang City must be  Quite a few of them knew the slaves, and the slaves were his messengers to communicate with Master Bei, so General Itambu rarely let the slaves leave the place of residence.  Wu Gou pay attention, he can no longer get out of the city to contact Master Bei."

    "So, because the people in Itambu are staring at you, you don't have much chance to contact the outside world, and you can't grasp more detailed Jiujiang enemy's situation?" Hilgen asked.

    Qiu Sheng nodded again and again, praising Xiergen for his brilliance and prowess, which is indeed the case. Xiergen folded his hands and thought for a while, and then said after a long while: "Qiu Sheng, you have done a good job.It was only after a while that he came back to his senses, and asked in a low voice, "General, do you want the last general to act as a villain and get the money back from Itanbu?"

    "Smart!" Fatty Lu snapped his fingers, and said with a smile, "Don't ask any other questions, just let go and do it, and you will get everything you get. Don't be afraid to make things big, and don't worry about Han Daren's face. I will naturally  It's up to you."

    "Thank you, General, for taking care of me. I will definitely do it eventually." Gao Hongchen, who received a beautiful post, smiled wickedly, and asked cleverly, "Then, General, do you want to let my cousin know about this?"

    "Of course don't let him know." Fatty Lu replied bluntly: "Only you know about this matter, but there is one more thing, don't kill Itanbu."

    Gao Hongchen overjoyed and agreed, and left happily, until he walked out of the gate, Fatty Lu shouted to the back hall: "Okay, you can come out." Brother Han Daren returned to the hall, and stood with hands down in front of Fatty Lu.  Then he smiled and asked, "How are you two generals Han, did you think of anything?"

    "General, do you want to deliberately provoke a conflict between the last general and General Gao Dejie?" Han Daren asked tentatively: "The other thing is to force Yitanbu to turn back and let him really become an insider?"

    "I have made progress." Fatty Lu nodded in satisfaction, and said in a low voice: "But there is one thing I missed. I not only want to force Yitanbu, but I also want to force you two brothers together. Do you understand?" (Unfinished  To be continued.

 Chapter 280 True and False

    ?

    After more than half a month of boring confrontation with the main forces of the Qing army in northern Jiangxi, another major event that can relieve boredom finally broke out among the tense and boring Jiujiang Wu army.

    The cause of the incident was as follows. On the afternoon of February 16th, after the surrendered general of the Qing army, Itanbu, had just returned to his barracks to rest after finishing his duties for the day, Gao Hongchen, the cavalry general of the Fat Army, led a group of Wu troops.  The soldiers came to find him, and insisted on dragging Itanbu to play dice. Yitanbu was a general and a mite, so of course he didn't dare to offend an old man in the Wu army like Gao Hongchen and a fat man in the army, so he had to hug the cut flesh  Feed the eagle's mind, followed Gao Hongchen and others into the casino with one hundred taels of factor, and thought that it would be a big deal to lose all the one hundred taels, and just spend money to buy peace and friendship.

    Unfortunately, at the gambling table, Yitanbu not only lost all the one hundred taels of silver, but was also persuaded by Gao Hongchen and others to borrow another four hundred taels of silver to continue gambling¡ªinstead of  It's more of a push than a half-force, and in the end he lost all of it very quickly.  But when things got to this point, itanbu, who loves money, naturally refused to gamble any more. Gao Hongchen and others could not help but force itanbu to pay back the money immediately.  He led Gao Hongchen and others back to his barracks to withdraw money to pay off his gambling debts.

    Just at this time, the storm happened. In front of the gate of Han Daren's camp, Yitanbu, Gao Hongchen and others happened to meet Han Daren's younger brother, Han Yuanren, patrolling the camp. They saw Yitanbu leading his brother's nemesis Gao Hongchen  When he came back, Mr. Han Yuanren had no choice but to ask the reason, and when Yitanbu talked about the matter hesitantly, the fiery Han Yuanren exploded in anger. He grabbed the person behind Gao Hongchen on the spot, pointed at his nose,  Tanbu yelled, "You bet with Li Ya? Do you know that this brat is famous for being a trickster! Ten times bet ten times and you get a thousand money, no matter how much money you have, you can't lose!"

    Hearing what Han Yuanren said, Yitanbu, who was already quite puzzled, suddenly realized, but Gao Hongchen and his gang quit. He insisted on Han Yuanren showing evidence of Li Ya's cheating, otherwise he would absolutely refuse to fight with him.  Won Ren Shan let go.  However, Han Yuanren was not on the scene at the time, and the game had already been played, so naturally he couldn't produce any evidence, so he just yelled at Gao Hongchen for not being a thing, relying on Fatty Lu's favor to cheat and bully his allies, while Gao Hongchen continued to scold, while mocking Brother Han Daren for arbitrarily doing it the day before yesterday  The scandal of the disastrous defeat in the battle, and then the three sentences were wrong, Han Yuan hit Gao Hongchen in the face with any punch, Gao Hongchen and his gang fought back angrily, and fought back in front of the camp gate on the spot.

    The fight was intense, and good reinforcements from both sides continued to join in. Itanbu, who wanted to save money and avoid disaster, was completely involved, and was beaten by Gao Hongchen and his gang.  In the end, not only did he fail to effectively stop the fight, Gao Dejie, who was even more irritable, also joined the battle group under Han Daren's sarcasm, and fought with his arch-rival Han Daren on the spot, which caused the scale of the fight to expand, and he injured many of himself  people.  In the end, it was Fatty Lu's confidant Li Tianzhi who arrived after hearing the news and led a heavily armed army to pull the two sides apart. This ended the military brawl that almost led to an internal fire.

    The enemy is currently facing such a big scandal, and Fatty Lu, who is the commander of the whole army, is of course furious. He ordered brothers Gao Dejie, Han Daren, Yitanbu and Li Ya to be taken into the commander's hall and dealt with personally.  This brawl.  However, in the lobby, Fatty Lu, who has a despicable character, also gave full play to his despicable nature of helping his relatives and not helping his relatives. When both parties were responsible, he forced all the blame on the Han Daren brothers and Itanbu.  Not only forced Yitanbu to repay the gambling debts, but also dragged Han Daren brother who had just recovered from the stick injury, and beat him with twenty army sticks.

    After the matter was settled, the Gao Dejie brothers and Li Ya left happily, while the Han brothers whose buttocks were beaten to bloody blood, and Yitanbu, who was bankrupt and failed to avoid disaster, were furious, especially the Han brothers.  Brought back to our barracks by the soldiers, he immediately hid in the barracks and cursed, from Fatty Lu's cheap mother to the nineteenth generation of Fatty Lu's ancestors, the lingering lingering lingering lingering for three days.  Itanbu, who suffered innocently, was dejected and sat in a daze. He didn't know whether he felt sorry for the five hundred taels of hard-earned money earned by selling his fellow mite people, or regretted that he made a wrong step and chose to be so shameless to Fatty Lu.  Unjust enemies surrender.

    After scolding for more than an hour, until the sky was completely dark, the Han brothers who were hoarse from scolding finally stopped cursing. They lay on the bed and moaned in pain, while Yitanbu sat for a long time with a sad face.  I wanted to get up and leave, but I never thought that Han Yuanren would suddenly say to Han Daren: "Brother, it seems that Lu Yifeng is determined to avenge his personal revenge. Last time, he was concerned about our cousin (Hu Guozhu)'s face, so he didn't dare to face him."  Our murder does not mean that he wants to let us go from now on. If this goes on, no matter how careful we are, we may not be able to escape his murder. "

    Han Daren moaned in pain, andAs soon as he entered the tent, Itanbu, whose braid had been cut off and his arms were tied behind his back, immediately knelt down on his knees, crying loudly, "General, slave Yitanbu, finally came back alive.  Slave Itambu, please greet the General!"

    "Bold Itanbu, you still have the face to come back to see the old man?" Hilgen turned his face and shouted angrily: "You sent people across the lake several times to deceive our army for Wu Gou. Are you guilty?!"

    "Great General, please forgive me." Itanbu cried and said, "This servant is indeed a coward, and sent people to deceive the General and Mr. Beizi, but this servant was forced.  The soldiers are all sent by Lu Yifeng's gangster to watch over the slave, if the slave doesn't follow Lu Yifeng's orders, the slave's head will fall to the ground immediately!"

    "What?" Zhangtai Beizi screamed.  The two old foxes, Xiergen and Zhao Guozuo, looked at each other, and thought together: "The two messengers before are indeed dead people who don't know the truth!"

    "Then Lu Yifeng, the dog thief, was seriously injured by our artillery?!" Hilgen asked loudly again.

    "No, no." Itanbu quickly shook his head, crying loudly: "I can swear to God, the artillery of our army that day didn't even hurt a hair of Lu Yifeng's dog thief, Lu Yifeng's dog thief, he  He was cheating from the beginning to the end! He wanted to trick the general and our Nanchang army of the Qing Dynasty into taking the initiative to attack and leave the strong city for protection, so that he could kill all of our Qing army!"

    "Bang!" Master Zhangtai Beizi sat down on the ground, with a rather handsome handsome face that had lost any color, and muttered in his mouth: "How is it possible? This Beizi is familiar with military books and has a deep understanding of the art of war. How is it possible?"  Didn't you hurt Lu Yifeng's dog thief?"

    "Sure enough, it's a fake injury!" Hilgen was so surprised that he almost cried out.  After trying to calm down his excitement, Hilgen pointed at Itambu again, and shouted: "Say, tell me what happened, how you helped Wu Gou defraud our army, and how you came back anyway, one to five  Confess to the old man ten times, and don¡¯t miss anything! Otherwise, be careful of your dog¡¯s head!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 281 Burial

    ?

    "After the second dead man sent by the slave did not return to Jiujiang, Lu Yifeng's Wu dog told the slave that his plan to lure our Anqing army from the Qing Dynasty to cross the lake and attack the city must have been blocked by Hill, no,  It must have been discovered by you, General Dingnan, and it will be useless to send dead money in the future, it will only be wasted."

    "Then Lu Yifeng's Wu dog said, "Although the plan to lure our Qing army was unsuccessful, it was the slave's credit and dedication to lure our Qing army out of Anqing City and Nanchang City.  It should be rewarded, so that Wu dog named the slave a general, and rewarded him with a thousand taels of silver."

    "It is absolutely true that Han Daren and Han Yuanren brothers led an army to attack privately, but Lu Yifeng's dog thief adapts to the situation and makes a mistake to make an ambush plan. The Nanchang army that attacked our Qing Dynasty succeeded, and Gao Dejie is not allowed to be a dog thief  Rescuing Han Daren was also an order from Lu Yifeng's dog thief himself."

    "Han Daren told his servants that the main reason why Lu Yifeng's dog thief asked Gao Dejie not to care about the life and death of the Han brothers was because the Han Daren brothers and Lu Yifeng's dog thief had never been able to urinate in the same pot.  I wish the Han brothers would die. The Han brothers were lucky not to die. When they returned to Jiujiang City, it was because their cousin Hu Guozhu was the son-in-law of the old thief Wu Sangui and the uncle of the thief Lu Yifeng.  The thieves didn't take the opportunity to commit murder, they just took the opportunity to humiliate the brothers of the Han family, and beat them each with fifty army sticks."

    "Han Daren told the slaves that Lu Yifeng's dog thief is now planning this. Lu Yifeng's dog thief is not afraid of our Qing army crossing the lake. Because our Qing army crossed the lake to attack the city, relying on Jiujiang Wugou's strong artillery, we  It is almost impossible for the Qing army to break through Jiujiang City, Jiujiang Wugou can not only kill a large number of soldiers of our Qing army in the defense battle, but also expand the results in the counterattack or pursuit battle."

    "Han Daren also told the servants that Lu Yifeng's dog thief had blatantly yelled in front of the Wu dog generals, and he was not afraid that our Qing army would not cross the lake or attack the city. Because the old thief Wu Sangui sent him to the battlefield in northern Jiangxi, his primary purpose was to contain  Our main army of the Qing Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River created opportunities for the other five-way Wugou, and if the main force of the Qing Dynasty led by you, the general, is contained in the Jiujiang area, his mission will be basically completed. So no matter whether the general crosses the lake or not,  Whether they attack the city or not, Lu Yifeng's dog thief is actually invincible."

    "By the way, Brother Han Daren also told the servant that Lu Yifeng, the dog thief, had analyzed the purpose of your army at Hukou, General, in front of many generals.  There are three purposes for stationing troops at the mouth of the lake, one is to test whether he has really been injured by the artillery of our Qing army, if it is confirmed that he is correct, you will cross the lake and attack the city, General."

    "The second purpose is to cover the army of General Zhao Guozuo. If you confirm that Wu Dog is luring the enemy, then you can let the army of General Zhao Guozuo retreat first, as long as your army is still there.  If he is stationed at Hukou, Wu Gou will not dare to pursue him with all his strength."

    "The third purpose, Lu Yifeng's dog thief thinks, you are also luring the enemy, General. You deliberately stationed troops in Hukou, and also deliberately let the old general Zhao Guozuo station troops in Nankang. The purpose is to create opportunities for Wugou's army to sneak attack.  The opportunity to lure Wu Dog's army to take the initiative to attack, and then to strike later, adapt to the situation and severely injure Wu Dog. And the primary target must be Wu Dog's naval fleet, so Lu Yifeng's dog thief said nothing during this time to allow Wu Dog's navy to leave port.  , and concentrated all the artillery at the water gate, in order to protect Wu Gou's naval fleet."

    Listening to Yitanbu's narration of pouring beans from bamboo tubes, although the temperature in the spring night is still quite cold, the old fox of Hilgen is already dripping with cold sweat, and his wrinkled old face is full of disbelief, and he didn't expect anything.  Even Halgaqi, who was with me day and night, didn't fully guess my own thoughts and wishful thinking, but in the end, the enemy coach who was fighting for his life guessed every bit of it!  If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, Hilgen wouldn't have believed that there would be such a miracle in the world!

    After thinking over and over for a long time, Hilgen asked again: "Itanbu, the old man will ask you again, Han Daren is in front of you, has he mentioned what is Lu Yifeng's next plan for the dog thief? That is, the Wu dog army, come down  What's the next move?"

    "He said it." Itanbu was very honest, and his memory was not bad, so he replied after a short recollection: "Han Daren said that Lu Yifeng's thief once publicly threatened in front of the generals of the Wu dogs.  He fights patiently, and he stays with him to the end, because the main task given to him by the old thief Wu Sangui is to bite our main force in northern Jiangxi of the Qing Dynasty, so that our main force in northern Jiangxi of the Qing Dynasty has no time to take care of the battlefield. He doesn't care how long he confronts the general in Jiujiang  It doesn't matter. But you are different, General, you absolutely dare not let the main forces in northern Jiangxi leave the two important towns of Anqing and Nanchang for a long time, and the master is long live, and it is impossible to tolerate you, General, for a long time.He said: "This matter is related to our Dazhou reputation, only the two of you are allowed to know, and no third person is allowed to know, do you understand?"

    Brother Han Daren nodded desperately together, thinking it was right, and Fatty Lu said in a low voice: "The old fox Xiergen is very cunning, he will never do something he is not sure about, and he will only reveal this secret to him, and wait until Hesheli  The news of the death of the mother and child is sent back to northern Jiangxi, and this old fox will fully believe in you, understand?"

    The honest Han brothers nodded again, and Han Daren asked worriedly again: "General, is this reliable? What if our people don't succeed, or the medicine we give doesn't work?"

    "Don't worry, it's been confirmed." Fatty Lu smiled sinisterly, and then said, "As for whether the medicine will take effect¡ªyou don't know the medical skills of Zhu Miracle Doctor?"

    Brother Han Daren, who still had the Yunnan Baiyao developed by Zhu Fangdan on his body, was naturally determined when he heard the words. The two brothers argued for a long time in front of Fatty Lu, and finally decided that Han Yuanren would take up this life-or-death job.  After discussing with Fatty Lu for a long time how to deal with Hilgen's interrogation, he left and prepared to cross the lake on the last night of the time limit and go to the Qing army's camp to deceive the enemy.

    It wasn't until after the Han brothers left that Fatty Lu's dog-headed master Wang Shaobo came out from the back hall, and asked Fatty Lu worriedly: "Boss, are you really sure that you are encouraging the Han brothers to venture across the lake?  Those who have seen through your tricks, they are like meat buns beating dogs, and they will never return."

    "Don't worry, the old fox Xiergen is not stupid. No matter whether he sees through my trick or not, he will not attack the brothers of the Han family." Fatty Lu said with a smile: "If the brothers of the Han family can really deceive the old fox Xiergen, the old fox will naturally not  Kill them. If the old fox sees through my trick, why does he kill the Han brothers? Does killing the Han brothers help him explain to Emperor Mangou, or help him get out of the dilemma? Pretend to be in the trap  Wouldn't it be better to keep them so that they can be used in the future? Even better?"

    Although Wang Shaobo is shrewd and capable, he can be regarded as scheming, but in terms of cunning and treachery, he is indeed a bit worse than Fatty Lu and Xiergen. After careful calculation for a long time, Wang Shaobo came to his senses, and a drummer praised:  The boss is smart, it turns out that the boss has long been confident-the old fox Xiergen didn't see through the master's trick, so naturally he was reluctant to kill the brothers of the Han family! If this old fox saw through the master's trick, he would naturally be even more reluctant to kill the brothers of the Han family, leaving them to do whatever they want  It is naturally much more cost-effective than just killing a Korean Won Ren!"

    "I only dare to use such a dangerous plan in front of a suspicious and treacherous old fox like Hilgen." Fatty Lu sighed with a smile: "If it was replaced by a foolish and foolish fool like Zhangtai, I would not dare to use it."  Such a risk."

    "My boss is clever, and it varies from person to person, so it's hard to catch up with a student." Wang Shaobo flattered him, and then tentatively asked, "My boss, in your opinion, will the old fox Hilgen fall into the trap this time?  "

    "Since you call him an old fox, it is certainly not sure if you want him to fall into the trick immediately." Fatty Lu replied with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, today is February 18th, and the woman's due date is in late March.  After a month or so, even if the old fox Xiergen doesn't want to fall into the trap, the Emperor Mite Dog will force him to fall into the trap."

    "That woman? Due date? What do you mean?" Wang Shaobo suddenly felt confused.

    Fatty Lu smiled even more treacherously, and didn't answer, but murmured in his heart: "Hesheli, didn't the mite brag about you on TV, saying that you died a pity? It doesn't matter, Brother Lu will help you!"  A bunch of people who were buried with you, the tens of thousands of the main force of Mangou in northern Jiangxi, are you buried with you, isn¡¯t it beautiful? It¡¯s not a pity to die, right?¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 282: God Helps the Wicked (Part 1)

    ?

    (ps: The end of the month is coming, friends should have a second monthly pass? If you don¡¯t vote, it will be a complete waste.)

    ? In the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, on February 20th in the thirteenth year of Qingkang Mazi, at half past two o'clock at night, in the territory of Hukou County on the east bank of Poyang Lake, in the main camp of the Qing Army in northern Jiangxi.  After a rigorous inspection, Wu Jun Yangwei's deputy general Han Yuanren, who voluntarily came here to feign surrender, was finally led into the brightly lit and heavily guarded Qing army tent while wearing a black jacket, where he saw the  Fatty Lu called the old fox the Qing Dingnan General Hilgen, as well as his deputy Hal Gaqi, Qing Beizi Zhangtai, and another Qing army old fox Zhao Guozuo.

    Just as Han Yuanren imagined, the expressions of Hilgen and Fatty Lu are indeed very similar. They both have kind brows and smiles, giving people a feeling of being friendly, kind and harmless to humans and animals, which can confuse everyone.  Some people who don't know the truth.  However, for Han Yuanren, who had suffered enough and suffered a long time ago, he refused to be careless and take it lightly. He just knelt in front of Hilgen, cupped his fists and said: "The sinner Han Yuanren, under the orders of my brother  Greetings to General Dingnan of the Qing Dynasty, and greetings to the General."

    "According to my brother's order to meet me?" Hilgen spoke surprisingly, and corrected with a smile: "General Yuan Ren seems to have made a mistake, right? You should have come to meet me under Lu Yifeng's order, right?"

    "Why did the general make such a statement?" Han Yuanren was taken aback.

    "I don't understand? Do you want the old man to explain?" Shirgen said with a smile: "Lu Yifeng's bastard tricked the old man and General Zhao Guozuo's army to Jiujiang Mansion with tricks of deception and death. Fortunately, the old man was on the alert in time.  , realized his trick in time, and did not continue to cross the lake to the west. Seeing that the trick failed, he threw out the useless Itambu as a death sentence, and asked your brothers to use bitter tricks to feign surrender in front of the old man, trying to get something out of it.  no?"

    "Since the general said so, the guilty general has nothing to say and cannot justify." Han Yuanren remained calm, but said with a helpless expression: "Brother sinful generals have already prepared to be wronged by the general before crossing the lake."  Prepare for the manslaughter, General, please do it."

    "Pretending to be calm, you can hide it from the old man's eyes? When the old man went to the battlefield, your father was pissing and muddy." Hilgen sneered, waved and said: "Take it, push it out and chop it."

    "Tie!" The soldiers of the Qing army on the side agreed in unison. They rushed up like wolves like tigers, set up Han Yuanren and left.  , please forgive me before you die."

    "Tell me." Hilgen had expected Won Ren's move for a long time, and waved decisively to let the soldiers put Won Ren down.

    "General, these few words are not meant for you." Han Yuanren shook his head, then turned to Zhang Tai who was next to him and asked, "This general, judging by your age, should be General Dingyuan Pingkou of the Qing Dynasty, General Zhang Tai  Taizhang Beizi, right?"

    "I am, what do you want to do?" Zhangtai said vigilantly: "I can warn you, I am familiar with military books and have a deep understanding of military strategy, so I will not fall into your Wugou's tricks."

    "Master Bei misunderstood, the sinful general just has a last word to explain." Han Yuanren shook his head, and said calmly: "Before the sinful general brothers decided to cross the lake, they had already expected that it would be difficult to gain the trust of the old general Xi, and they were wronged by the old general Xi."  Manslaughter is also reasonable, but the sinner will die, and the sinner's brother Han Daren will be implicated in the crime, and it will be difficult to escape Lu Yifeng's murderous hand. Therefore, the brothers of the sinner have already agreed that once the sinner is killed by the old general Xi,  Han Daren, the brother of the guilty general, immediately crossed the lake and surrendered to you, Mr. Beizi, so as to prevent the brother of the guilty general from being murdered by Lu Yifeng's son."

    Speaking of this, Han Yuanren paused for a moment, and then said in a slightly hoarse voice: "So, the sinful general asks Master Beizi to agree. When the brother of the sinful general abandons his post and flees to cross the lake to surrender to Master Beizi, please ask Master Beizi to agree."  Don't misunderstand the elder brother of the criminal general, and leave a little blood for our Han family."

    "This matter." Zhangtai was stunned, and quickly patted his chest and said: "General Yuanren, don't worry, if this is the case, Ben Beizi will use his personal reputation to guarantee that he must believe in the sincerity of General Han Daren's surrender, and try his best to win the favor of the master."  Deal with him in front of him, let him save a life."

    "Master Xie Bei, I will leave that crime." Han Yuanren thanked him respectfully, and then walked out, but Hilgen refused to let him die this time, and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, General Yuanren  , you brothers really have such plans, are you really so trusting of the old man?"

    "It's not that the sinful brother can't trust the general, it's the general who can't trust the sinful brother." Han Yuanren said neither humble nor overbearing: "The sinful brother sincerely surrendered, and first asked General Itanbu to deliver the letter across the lake. The general asked the sinful brother to pass by himself.  The general is willing to believe that Brother Sin Jiang risked his life across the lake to prove his sincerity.The effect of spreading rumors is relatively slow, so when the rumors spread by the Han Daren brothers were still spreading and fermenting in Yuezhou City, the secret documents of Zhangtai and others had already been sent to the capital, and sent to Kang Mazi.  After reading this secret story, Kang Mazi, who was struggling with the Wu army's six-way attack and the Qing army's retreat, was stunned at first, then laughed out loud, and finally cursed Zhangtai and Xiergen as stupid as pigs,  How dare you believe such nonsense!  If Wu Junxizuo had the ability to sneak into the Forbidden City and poison Hesheli, then it would be enough to poison Hesheli directly. Why did he wait until Hesheli gave birth to be poisoned and died?

    But scolding is scolding, a tiger's poison does not eat a child, as a husband, Kang Mazi is somewhat worried and suspicious of his wife's situation, and Kang Mazi has also considered such a possibility-it is not wrong for Wu Jun to poison Hesheli slowly.  It makes no sense, if Hesheli died on the spot with acute poison, then Wu Jun¡¯s meticulous work would definitely not be able to run away; if slow poison was given and Hesheli died after a long time, then the person who poisoned him would naturally be fine too.  Get away with it.  So out of caution, Kang Mazi, who was far more suspicious than Fatty Lu, took a little time to summon the best imperial physicians in the two imperial hospitals and ask them about similar poisons?  "

    "Slow poison that causes the mother to be poisoned to death again during childbirth?" Hu Gongshan, the doctor of the Imperial Hospital, was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Master, this slave is almost sixty, and this is the first time I have heard of such a strange poison. How is this possible?"  ?¡±

    "Yes, master, this is simply too absurd." The assistant doctor Zheng Cheng Shoutian also said with a smile: "Although this slave is not very proficient in poisons, generally all poisons that can kill people are either killed on the spot or appear after being poisoned."  Uncomfortable symptoms, lingering for a long time before dying, but the poison that specifies when to die, I have never seen it before."

    "Really?" Kang Mazi let out a long sigh of relief, and secretly scolded Zhangtai, Xiergen and the others for being as stupid as pigs, and was about to wave his hand to make the two imperial doctors kneel down, when Cheng Shoutian added,  "unless¡­¡­."

    "Unless what? Be straightforward." Kang Mazi shouted impatiently.

    "Return to master, unless it is the slave's uncle who administered such poison." Cheng Shoutian respectfully replied: "The slave's uncle is not only good at medicine, but also good at using poison, especially good at preparing some colorless, odorless and deadly poisons."  It is precisely because of this that the master of the slave expelled the uncle of the slave, but the uncle of the slave is self-taught, and now he is still a famous doctor all over the world."

    "Who is your uncle?" Kang Mazi suddenly became nervous for no reason.

    "Master, the servant's uncle is Zhu Fangdan, who is recognized by the people as the number one genius doctor in the world!" Cheng Shoutian replied with his chest out.

    "If it's Zhu Fangdan, there's a possibility." Hu Gongshan also nodded his head, "I have also heard of his name and his medical skills, but his character is very poor, almost to the point that Wanfu pointed out.  , it is possible to prepare such a poison, and it is also possible to prepare such a poison."

    "Zhu Fangdan?" Kang Mazi didn't remember it for a while, then jumped up suddenly, and shouted: "Zhu Fangdan?! Zhang Wanqiang, bring Zhangtai's secret book immediately! Quick! Quick! Quick!!"

    "Fold!" Zhang Wanqiang quickly agreed, rushed to Kang Mazi's desk in a hurry, hurriedly found out the secret folder that Zhangtai sent in eight hundred miles, and rushed to Kang Mazi, knelt down on his knees, and took the secret folder.  Holding it high above the top, Kang Mazi took it, opened it tremblingly, and sure enough - Zhangtai really mentioned the name 'Zhu Fangdan' on the secret booklet!  Moreover, it was also clearly stated that Han Yuanren personally confessed that the slow poison that Wu Jun made to Hesheli was the work of Zhu Fangdan, Fatty Lu's confidant!

    Seeing this, the secret folder in Kang Mazi's hand had unknowingly dropped to the ground, and he was as dumbfounded as a clay sculpture.  After a long time, Kang Mazi finally roared, "Old thief Wu Sangui! Thief Lu Yifeng! I'm fucking your mother's eighteen generations of ancestors!"

    "Master, what's the matter?" Zhang Wanqiang asked tremblingly.

    "Show the Kunning Palace!" Kang Mazi yelled, pointing at Hu Gongshan and Cheng Shoutian, "You two, follow me to the Kunning Palace, and call all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital! Quick¡ª  ¡ª!¡±

    It just so happened that, God help the wicked, when Kang Mazi led a large group of imperial physicians to the Kunning Palace to check the pulse and poison of Hesheli who might have been poisoned.  Another military intelligence report sent over 800 kilometers away was sent from the Shaanxi-Gansu battlefield to the yamen of the Ministry of War of the Qing Dynasty. Wang Xu, Minister of the Ministry of War of the Qing Dynasty, and Mingzhu Mingzhu, Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Qing Dynasty, who were working in the yamen, first casually took the report.  However, after only one glance, Wang Xu and Mingzhu were both dumbfounded and stunned together. The two of them couldn't hold the military intelligence paper steadily with their four hands, and let the military intelligence paper fall to the ground.

    "Quick, come, prepare the horse!" Finally regaining consciousness, Ming Zhu and Wang Xu's crying voices echoed in the lobby of the Ministry of War, "Prepare the horse! This officer is going to the palace! I have to go to the palace immediately to face the saint!

 Chapter 283: God Helps the Wicked (Part 2)

    ?

    "The emperor has arrived¡ª¡ª¡ª."

    Accompanied by Xie Xuan, the chief eunuch of the Kunning Palace, who deliberately prolongs his singing, Kang Mazi's huge, complicated, boring and shameless guard of honor, surrounded by the rogue-eyed and wretched emperor, strode into the Kunning Palace.  .  Kang Mazi's Queen Hesheli, who had already received the news, was very surprised, but she didn't dare to neglect, so she had to put on her belly quickly, and led a large group of eunuchs, Gong'e, to kneel in front of the door to greet Kang Mazi, and respectfully saluted Kang Mazi: "Concubine  Greetings to the emperor."

    "Queen, you are pregnant, so you don't need to be polite." Kang Mazi stepped forward in a hurry, and hugged Hesheli.  Surprised to find that behind Kang Mazi, there were actually a large group of imperial doctors from the imperial hospital, sweating and panting one by one, they all kowtowed to him behind Kang Mazi's back, and sang in unison to greet the empress.

    "Master, what's the matter?" Seeing this scene, Hesheli didn't have any scheming to sense that something was wrong, and asked Kang Mazi respectfully: "Master, at this time of weekdays, as usual, the master has to take care of things in front of you."  Government affairs, why did you come here earlier today? Why did you bring so many imperial physicians?"

    "This" Kang Mazi hesitated, but he didn't dare to make Hesheli worry, so he said vaguely, "Don't worry, queen, I'm just worried that your delivery date is coming, so I brought some imperial doctors here to give you pulse.  Anything else special."

    "Really?" Hesheli naturally didn't believe it, and asked suspiciously: "Master, there are six imperial physicians and six stable ladies and servants by my side at any time, and it has always been peaceful. How could the emperor do so?"  Remember bringing so many imperial doctors here?"

    "Queen, you don't need to ask any more questions. I'm doing it for your own good." Kang Mazi interrupted roughly, and after thinking about it, he said, "Queen, after thinking about it, I think this Kunning Palace is also used for worshiping gods.  On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, I and all the concubines have to cook meat to sacrifice to the gods here, people come and go, noisy and restless, it is not suitable for you to live here, empress, you should live in another place."

    After all, Kang Mazi didn't care whether Hesheli agreed or not, so he immediately turned around and ordered to his personal eunuch Zhang Wanqiang: "Zhang Wanqiang, send someone to clean up Chuxiu Palace immediately, and ask the queen to live there tonight, and arrange another batch  The most loyal and reliable eunuchs and maids, eunuchs and maids who used to serve the queen, don¡¯t take them with you.¡±

    "Zha, I will make the arrangement now, my slave." Zhang Wanqiang quickly agreed, and quickly sent the eunuch down to deliver the decree and arrangement.  As a result, Hesheli inevitably became more suspicious and slightly nervous, so he couldn't help asking: "Master, what is this for?"

    "Queen, don't ask any more questions. It's for your own good." Kang Mazi touched Hesheli's plump, smooth and beautiful face, and there was a rare tenderness on the wretched and ugly pockmarked face, and said softly, "Queen, don't ask any more questions."  Now, let's go inside to rest first, I will ask the imperial doctors to take your pulse."

    When Kang Mazi finished speaking, Hesheli didn't say anything more, just nodded in agreement, and quietly winked at Mo Ju, the close maid, to let her confidant to observe the situation outside, and then followed Kang Mazi into the room.  In the hall, at the request of Kang Mazi, he entered the inner hall again, and lay down on the dragon bed where he had wrestled with Kang Mazi, and let the imperial physician brought by Kang Mazi take turns to check the pulse through the tent.

    Kang Mazi brought a lot of imperial physicians, but less than half of the imperial physicians actually entered the inner hall to give Hesheli a pulse, and the rest went to unknown places, and there were also several imperial physicians who had served Hesheli before.  He and Mrs. Wen didn't know where they went.  Seeing this scene and seeing the dignified and nervous expression on Kang Mazi's pitted and pockmarked face, Hesheli couldn't help feeling agitated. He vaguely guessed that something big must have happened, and that this big thing must have something to do with him!

    Although there were many imperial physicians who took Hesheli's pulse, only two physicians from the Imperial Hospital, Hu Gongshan and Cheng Shoutian, really knew some of the reasons, so they were the two who gave Hesheli his pulse first.  After the two well-known doctors in the capital gave Hesheli a diagnosis, they all frowned and dared not make a sound, but asked other imperial doctors to ask Hesheli for pulse.  After changing three or four imperial doctors to diagnose Hesheli, they were all confused, and said to Kang Mazi respectfully: "Please rest assured, the emperor, judging from the pulse condition and the appearance of the empress, the phoenix of the empress  The body is very good, and the fetus in the womb is also very good, without any abnormalities."

    "Are you sure?" Kang Mazi sternly shouted, "Are you sure that your mother is in good health and there is nothing abnormal?"

    "This" Several imperial physicians were dumbfounded, thinking what the hell is going on?  Why would the emperor ask such a question?  Why are the other two doctors so nervous?  What the hell is going on?  If the imperial physician made a wrong diagnosis, it would be a capital crime of beheading and exterminating the family!

    In fear, several imperial physicians quickly changed their words obediently, and foughtWhat exactly did Qing Qing do?  Why should I suffer such retribution?  Why should I suffer such retribution?  !  "

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    When Kang Mazi finally woke up from the coma, it was already half past two o'clock in the middle of the night that day, and besides a dozen sweaty imperial physicians, there were several hard-core members of Kang Mazi who appeared in front of him.  Confidant Mingzhu, Suo'etu, Zhang Ying and others, as well as the old witch of Xiaozhuang, the noble concubine Niu Jilu, the Hui concubine Yehe, the Rong concubine Ma Jia, and the De concubine Wuya, as well as Guo Luoluo and Wei  He and Dai Jiashi waited for dozens of nobles, and even Kang Mazi's only eldest son, Yinti, who was not taken away by Uncle Yama, was hugged and knelt by the wet nurse, but Kang Mazi's most beloved queen, Hesheli, was not there.  .

    Seeing Kang Mazi waking up leisurely, everyone was beaming with joy and came forward to say hello, while Kang Mazi struggled to sit up with the help of the eunuch, tried to squeeze out a little smile, and forced himself to say, "I'm fine, just a little dizzy, don't worry  , if the sky doesn¡¯t fall, it¡¯s a big deal that I will go to the imperial conquest, what¡¯s so great about it?¡±

    In the past, when Kang Mazi mentioned the matter of Yujia's personal conquest, the old hag of Xiaozhuang and the ministers of the Qing Dynasty would definitely speak out immediately to persuade him, but this time it is different, including the old hag of Xiaozhuang, they are all silent, just  It was as if he hadn't heard the word that Kang Mazi uttered.  Kang Mazi was a little surprised, and quickly asked, "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Eza was just surrounded by Wu dogs, and my fifty thousand troops were on their way to the Shaanxi-Gansu battlefield in the starry night.  Wan Dajun has been rescued again, what is there to worry about?"

    "Your majesty, there is some bad news. You have to hold on." The old hag of Xiaozhuang sighed, and said weakly: "The queen has moved her fetus and gave birth prematurely. She is an elder brother. Although the imperial doctor tried his best, my lord and my wife are still in trouble."  The child, I didn't keep it."

    Kang Mazi was stunned again, almost passed out again, his lips trembled for a long time, and finally he uttered a nonsensical sentence in a hoarse voice, "Is it poisoning?"

    "Back to master, it seems to be poisoned." Hu Gongshan, the doctor of the imperial hospital, hurriedly kowtowed, and replied tremblingly: "My lady, she is bleeding, and she can't stop it. It seems that someone has been poisoned slowly. Otherwise, the servants  I am sure to rescue the empress and elder brother."

    According to the book, Hesheli was indeed prematurely born due to excessive fright and emotional fluctuations, and it happened that the fetus was too large and the uterus was weak, so both mother and child died.  It¡¯s just that God helps the wicked, and the imperial physicians who were afraid of taking responsibility secretly discussed and pushed all the blame on the fictional murderer, insisting that Hesheli died of poisoning.

    Kang Mazi closed his eyes in pain¡ª¡ªAlthough Kang Mazi was vicious and cruel, so cruel and ruthless that he was almost abnormal, he still had some feelings for the beautiful original partner Hesheli.  After a long time, Kang Mazi opened his eyes and called out with trembling lips, "Zhang Ying."

    "My minister is here." Zhang Ying quickly knelt down on both knees.

    "The decree is to add Wu Nijiang's appointment of Han Daren as General Bravery, Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and the title of Secretary of the Ministry of War, and give him the title of Viscount. Wu Nijiang appointed Han Yuan as Admiral of Pianyuan, General of Yongzhong, and give him the title of Baron." Kang Mazi ordered lightly.  , Zhang Ying quickly kowtowed and agreed, remembering carefully.

    "Send another decree to Xiergen, together with the appointment edict to the brothers of the Han family, and send it to Xiergen in 800 Li urgently!" Kang Mazi suddenly raised his voice, roaring hysterically: "Let him receive the order within ten days  Within a short time, we must capture Jiujiang and completely wipe out the Jiujiang Wugou army! There is also Lu Yifeng, a dog thief, who must not be let go. He wants to see people alive and dead! If he can¡¯t do it, he will go to Oboi  Go with the old thief!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 284 Prelude to the Great War

    ?

    (ps: There are only the last 20 hours left in February. If you don¡¯t vote for the pure wolf, the monthly tickets of friends will be completely wasted.)

    The biggest internal response Wang Fuchen, who was personally planted by the old traitor Wu in the Qing army, finally played a role. He killed Mo Luo, the important minister of the Qing Dynasty who was touted by the descendants of the Qing Dynasty, and the scholar Mo Luo, the main force of the Qing Dynasty.  The granary, cutting off the retreat of the 100,000 troops of the main force of the Qing Dynasty, Shanxi and Gansu, ended up being silent for three years, and it was a blockbuster!  After ten years of sharpening the sword, no one knows it, and once it becomes famous, the world knows it!  The direct and indirect consequences caused by it were so serious that Kang Mazi, who is known as the No. 1 Tatar Emperor of the ages, vomited blood and fainted on the spot when he heard it¡ªand by the way, he helped Fatty Lu kill Kang Mazi's wife and children.

    Kang Mazi couldn't help but get dizzy. At the beginning of the war with the Wu army, the army of the Qing Dynasty, which once reached 650,000, now only the two main forces of Jiangnan and Shaanxi-Gansu can maintain a strength of more than 100,000.  Among them, the Shaanxi-Gansu army with a large number of cavalry is already the only capital for Kang Mazi to stand up against the Wu army in the field, but such a significant and crucial army has turned out such a super traitor as Wang Fuchen,  He teamed up with the old traitor Wu to lead hundreds of thousands of Shaanxi-Gansu main forces into a desperate situation, and forced them to the cliff, facing the danger of the entire army being wiped out at any time. No matter how good Kang Mazi's psychological quality is, he can't stand such a blow  .

    Under the fear and anger, coupled with his favorite wife and son whom he had never met being 'poisoned' to death by Fatty Lu's lackeys at the same time, Kang Mazi, who urgently needed to find a punching bag, naturally set his eyes on the Qing army who had the only advantage.  On the battlefield in northern Jiangxi, Xiergen, the coach of the Qing army in northern Jiangxi, was ordered to enter the army as soon as possible. With the help of the Han brothers who had confirmed their sincerity to surrender to the Qing army, they took down Jiujiang City, wiped out the Jiujiang Wu army and Lu Yifeng's dog thieves, and fought for their own.  Wife and son revenge, revenge!

    Unexpectedly, Kang Mazi's edict to interfere with the tactics of the frontline troops promulgated in extreme anger did not have the slightest opposition among the decision-making levels of the Qing court.  He lost his fighting spirit, and was ready to let Kang Mazi toss about and ignore it, but Mingzhu, Suo'etu and others believed that, given the current situation of the Qing court, it would not be possible to win a big victory to boost morale and inspire people.  If the Qing court fails, it will really be over. Whether it is the morale of the army, the people or the officials, it may be completely ruined!

    Since a big victory is urgently needed to boost morale and inspire people's hearts, the only battlefield in northern Jiangxi where the Qing army completely occupies an absolute advantage in all battlefields is also the only choice for the Qing court.  On the battlefield in northern Jiangxi, the Qing army not only had an absolute advantage in terms of strength, terrain, cavalry, and warships, but also possessed two grandparents, veteran generals Hilgen and Zhao Guozuo, who were so experienced on the battlefield that they could compete with Wu Jun's coach Wu Jun.  Compared with the old traitor.  As for the Wu army, except for the superiority in firearms and individual combat effectiveness, everything else fell behind. The navy that must be indispensable on the northern Jiangxi battlefield is so weak that they dare not even go out of the port.  Hidden danger, if you don't pinch such a soft persimmon, who else will you pinch?

    It is precisely because of this that the decision-makers of the Qing court, including the scheming Xiaozhuang, unanimously supported Kang Mazi's wise decision-making, but the opinion that Suo'etu, Mingzhu and Zhang Ying put forward with trepidation was Kang Mazi.  Mazi has set the time limit for Hilgen, and he feels that ten days is too short, which may cause Hilgen and Zhao Guozuo to behave in a panic and take risks in order to complete the errand.  Fatty Lu, who has heard about it all over the world, can take advantage of this opportunity.  After careful consideration, Kang Mazi finally agreed to double the time¡ªgive Hillen twenty days!

    When Kang Mazi¡¯s two so-called edicts were rushed to the battlefield in northern Jiangxi by eight hundred miles, it happened that the Han Daren brothers sent Itanbu to send Hu Guozhu¡¯s letter to Hilgen. In the reply to the Han Daren brothers, Hu Guozhu was regarded as  The two cousins ??and nephews were scolded bloody. In addition to scolding them for their stupid actions that led to the defeat of Wu Jun, they also scolded the brothers of the Han family for avenging their personal revenge, intentionally spreading rumors to slander Fatty Lu, and trying to lure this cousin  Interfering with Fatty Lu's impromptu decision-making!  In the end, Hu Guozhu threatened the Han family brothers again, telling them to restrain themselves, be honest and obedient, and if something similar to a private attack occurs again, then Fatty Lu does not need to do it, and Hu Guozhu will be the first to kill his relatives righteously!

    After carefully reading Hu Guozhu's reply to the Han brothers, and listening to Itanbu's observation report on the Han brothers, the treacherous Hilgen frowns deeply, and is really not sure whether he should trust the Han brothers.  Or continue to test the two brothers, lest they fall into the tricks of Fatty Lu, nicknamed Oiled Loach?  But at this moment, Li Xu, Kang Mazi's confidant guard, also entered the Chinese army's tent with the two imperial decrees of Kang Mazi. Hilgen didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly asked someone to set up an incense table, and personally led the generals to kneel down to receive it.  decree.

    What is the content of Kang Mazi's two edicts, I believe it will not be discussed here.Looking at the various crossing routes across the lake, at the same time, the warships of the Qing army's navy were also dispatched frequently, approaching the water gate city wall in the north of Jiujiang many times to explore the waterway, but they were afraid that the Wu army had concentrated all the artillery on the water gate city wall in the north of Jiujiang.  In the first place, the Qing army navy did not dare to attack the Wu army navy.  And Fatty Lu also repeatedly ordered Li Guodong, the fat man's navy, not to attack, not to give the Qing navy a chance, and to keep the only navy for future use.

    Wu Jun was closely guarded on the west bank of Poyang Lake, while Hilgen was worried on the east bank of Poyang Lake, because the situation was just as Fatty Lu expected, Hilgen really hadn't made up his mind yet, which ferry should he choose to cross the lake and land, the Meijiazhou ferry  Although it is close, it is also the closest to Jiujiang City, which is most conducive to Wu Jun's half-crossing and the most dangerous to attack; although the Nankang Ferry in the south is relatively safe, it is too far away. The route from Hukou to Nankang Ferry is full  The waterway of nearly a hundred miles is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also the Wu Jun navy, which is capable of fighting in the first battle, may find a loophole in the long route and deal a fatal blow to the Qing army infantry on the troop carrier!  Each has advantages and disadvantages, each has its advantages and disadvantages, it is really difficult to choose.

    There are also capable people in the Qing army. When Shirgen brought this problem to the army meeting for discussion, after a lot of talking and expressing their opinions, the generals of the Qing army came up with two solutions for Shirgen: first, order  Zhao Guozuo led the Qing army from Nankang to the north and built temporary fortifications at the Meijiazhou ferry to block the Wu army's crossing army. The Hukou Qing army took the opportunity to cross the lake under the cover of the superior navy.  The second plan is very conservative. Zhao Guozha's army will continue to stand still, and the Hukou Qing army will pull out its camp and go south, camping in the Zhutou Mountain area to the east of Nankang Mansion, and then cross Poyang Lake from Zhutou Mountain. Under the cover of Zhao Guozha's army  Landing across the lake.

    "Let Zhao Guozuo move his army to the north?" Hilgen thought in his mind, "As soon as Zhao Guozuo's army moves, Wu Gou must immediately understand that the old man is going to land in Meijiazhou, and it is possible to set up an ambush in Meijiazhou in advance.  Zuo's army is also more dangerous. It may be blocked by Wu Gou's division of troops, and it may be in danger of being defeated by two routes at the same time. The main force of our army moved to Zhutou Mountain to cross the lake. It is safe, but in this way, Wu Gou also immediately understood  The old man is going to land in Nankang, and he also has enough time to react and adjust. The old man is still in danger of being hit by Wu Gou halfway, and the route is still a bit longer, and it takes too much time for the ships to go back and forth"

    "General, I believe that our army should choose to cross the lake at Zhutou Mountain." Hilgaqi, Hilgen's deputy, said solemnly: "Although it will take longer to cross the lake from Zhutou Mountain, the victory lies in  Safety, even if the army of old general Zhao Guozuo cannot defeat Wugou in the field battle, they can still hold the beachhead and buy time for our army to cross the lake. However, the army of old general Zhao is mobilized to go north.  Zhong was severely injured by Wu Gou, which would not serve as a cover, and may also cause heavy losses."

    Halgaqi's position in the Qing army in northern Jiangxi was second only to Hilgen. As soon as he said this, he naturally won a lot of support, but Hilgen's old fox remained calm and just tapped it with his skinny fingers.  Desktop, carefully calculated and considered.  After a long time, the old fox of Hilgen suddenly slapped the table, and Huo De stood up, gritted his teeth and said decisively: "Send Zhao Guozuo, order him to prepare for the attack, prepare more dry food and horse fodder, and send 10,000 troops to the north in the morning of the day after tomorrow."  , go to Meijiazhou to build a blocking position, and cover the main force of our army to cross the lake and land in Meijiazhou!"

    "General, have you made up your mind?" Hargaqi asked in a deep voice: "Old General Zhao Guozuo's army may be blocked by Wu Dog's troops!"

    "I've made up my mind!" the old fox Xiergen shouted: "In the order, I told Zhao Guozuo by the way that he was asked to prepare for a hard fight. Wu Gou divides his troops to block the attack. If he can rush over, he will rush there. If he can't, he will stick to the spot with all his strength.  As long as he can hold back more than 15,000 Wugou troops, it will be a great achievement for him!"

    "Za!" Halgazi knew that Hilgen was the kind of person who would never change his mind once he made up his mind, so he immediately agreed.

    "Wait a minute." Hilgen called Haer Gaqi again, beckoned him to the front, and whispered in his ear: "Write another letter to Brother Han Daren and tell them that our army crossed the lake.  At that time, whether Lu Yifeng's dog thief sent troops to stop Zhao Guozuo or sent troops to attack our army crossing the lake, the two brothers, no matter what method they thought of or what method they used, they had to stay in Jiujiang City for me.  Leave one of them and a direct army!"

    Halgaqi's eyes lit up, and he quickly and respectfully agreed.  And when the order that Hilgen gave to the Han brothers was sent to the Han brothers, and when the Han brothers despicably and shamelessly presented this order in front of Fatty Lu, Fatty Lu thought about it for a while, and immediately burst out laughing.  Laughed, and said with a big laugh: "Good you Hillgen, good you old fox, if it wasn't for Brother Lu, I was superior and knew your order in advance, maybe I would really fall into your trick! But  Since Brother Lu and I are superior, this time, the person who falls into the trap will only be you, not you, Brother Lu!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 285: The Decisive Battle in North Jiangxi (Part 1)

    ?

    (ps: There are only a few hours left in February. It is said that friends who vote for the last monthly ticket and March monthly ticket for Pure Wolf will have good luck in March.)

    In the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, on March 25th, the Wu army and the Qing army on the battlefield in northern Jiangxi, after two months of competition and patient confrontation, held the mite with absolute geographical advantage and absolute force advantage in their hands.  The Qing army finally took the lead in launching an offensive. The sixty-six-year-old veteran of the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Guozuo, personally supervised the formation, and led ten thousand Qing troops to dispatch from Nankang Fucheng to attack Jiujiang Fucheng, which was occupied by Wu's rebel army¡ª¡ª  March.

    The clown jumps over the beam, the bandit Lu Yifeng occupies the Jiujiang River, harms the land and harms the people, Dingnan General Xiergen is ordered to punish him!  Mazu said: "Yifeng dog thief, I want to see people when I live, and I want to see corpses when I die!"  ¡ª¡ª"Daqing Mazu Benji" contains.

    ?The despicable traitor Lu Yifeng, with the help of his loyal lackey who helped the king, finally lured me into a trap!  My brave and fearless soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, a man of the Eight Banners, marched towards the thief's nest with head held high and chest out. As everyone knows, the Jiujiang thief's nest at this moment is already full of poisonous snakes spitting out letters, poisonous scorpions raising their tails, tigers crouching and bears diving, and packs of wolves are surrounded!  Every time I read this section in the book, I can't help looking up to the sky and screaming: "Woo hoo, the former Qing Dynasty is already unfortunate, why not come later Qing Dynasty?" ¡ª¡ªThe later brick family Yan Mou sneakily commented.

    The Qing army in Nankang Mansion (now Xingzi County) finally moved, and the Qing army in Hukou was naturally not idle. In the early morning of the same day, tens of thousands of Qing army infantry and cavalry carried dry food and weapons.  The fishing boats, merchant ships, civilian ships and large troop ships brought by the self-armed army were collected from all over the place, and they were ready to launch the crossing of the river. The Qing army's navy fleet composed of more than 200 sand-washing boats, bird boats, and bluffing boats was useless.  Yu Yunbing only dispatched the whole army to completely block the triangular waters of Meijiazhou, Hukoudu and Xiazhongshan to prevent the Wu army's navy from attacking the Qing army's fleet across the lake.

    By the way, probably just in case, the Qing army navy blocked the triangular waters between Meijiazhou, Xiazhongshan and Hukoudu so tightly that even Wu army scout boats could not break in to scout the enemy during the period.  , can only be observed from a distance and on land with primitive telescopes. It is impossible to confirm the approximate number of Qing troops crossing the lake at one time, let alone the composition of the troops of the Qing army crossing the lake. This also gives the Wu army a countermeasure.  caused a lot of trouble.

    Not to mention, the old fox Xiergen made up his mind to cross the lake so quickly, which was really beyond the expectations of the Wu army.  After entering Jiujiang City, Wu Jun still had many disputes in the selection of countermeasures, and proposed three completely different countermeasures to Fatty Lu.

    The three countermeasures put forward by the generals of the Wu army are as follows. The first one is more conservative, that is, let the Qing army cross the lake without blocking, take the opportunity to strengthen the defense of Jiujiang city, and wait until the Qing army has fully crossed the lake.  Relying on the strong city, the Qing army's siege force was consumed in large quantities, and then a full-scale counterattack was launched.  However, this tactic is conservative and conservative, but it has another advantage, that is, it avoids prematurely exposing the mighty strength of the Wu army in Jiujiang, scaring away the main force of the Qing army in northern Jiangxi, which is not conducive to the Wu army's future siege battles against Nanchang and Anqing.

    The second tactic is to break down one by one, using the opportunity of Nanchang Qing Army Zhao Guozhuo to go north to Meijiazhou to meet Anqing Qing Army crossing the lake, monitor and contain the Anqing Qing Army's landing team with a small number of troops, and the main force is to intercept and kill Zhao Guo  The Zuo army, concentrate on eating Zhao Guozuo first, and then turn around to deal with the Anqing Qing army.  This is a relatively safe tactic, cautious and yet sharp.

    The third tactic is more radical. The Wu army will attack in two ways, going south all the way to intercept Zhao Guozuo's army, and try to destroy this weaker Qing army in the field, and the other way will go east to Meijiazhou, using the enemy  During the crossing of the lake, it was difficult to meet the opportunities before and after, and a large number of effective forces of the Qing army in Anqing were wiped out, striving to attack on both sides and win a big victory on both sides.

    "Choose the third tactic, attack from two directions!" After thinking about it for less than two minutes, Fatty Lu yelled: "The first tactic is too conservative, and if it goes wrong, it may become a refueling battle. Our army's logistics is weak.  , although the grain and grass in Jiujiang City are still sufficient, it is difficult to supply firearms. The longer the war is dragged on, the more unfavorable it will be for our army! Although the second tactic is safe, even if Zhao Guozuo is eliminated, it may still destroy Anqing.  Scared away, and since Zhao Guozuo dared to go north, he must be prepared for a hard fight. If he is not careful, he may be double-teamed by the dogs who have successfully crossed the lake, stealing chickens without losing money! There is only the third tactic, although  Radical, but best for our military!"

    Fatty Lu still has some prestige. Seeing that Fatty Lu has made up his mind, all the generals of the Wu army stopped arguing and asked for orders, "The general is wise, please give the order!"

    "Gao Dejie listened to the order!" Fatty Lu picked up the command arrow and shouted: "With you 800 rockets, 1000 grenades, 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, lead Gao Hongchen, Wu Yonghua, Gao Qip; At the same time, on the east bank of Poyang Lake, on the high ground, I used a telescope to watch the Wu army launch a charge. The old fox Xiergen couldn't help but sighed again, and said with a wry smile: "I don't want to make it into an oil lamp.  Lu Yifeng's dog thief is really fucking good. Send the order, let Sanger and Yalai get ready to board the ship and land, and as soon as the troop carrier lands, board the ship and land immediately, and reinforce the Meijiazhou Wharf battlefield! The sooner  The better!"

    The herald took the order to leave. At this moment, Hilgaqi, Hilgen's deputy, hurried up to the high ground and whispered in Hilgen's ear: "Report to the general, the humble officer sent to contact Han Daren brother  The courier has already got in touch with Itanbu in Tuanshan. Itanbu told our army courier that Lu Yifeng's dog thief committed suicide and only carried Korean won to go out of the city to fight. Han Daren was left in Jiujiang by Lu Yifeng's dog thief  Guarding the city, currently in Jiujiang City, there are only about 8,000 Wugou garrison troops, of which there are 3,000, which are the direct line troops controlled by Han Daren!"

    "Okay." Hilgen showed joy, and hurriedly asked again: "The old man's order, have you given it to Itanbu?"

    "The humble confidant has already delivered the general's letter order to Itanbu, and Yitanbu has already returned to the city. I believe that within half an hour, the general's order will be delivered to Han Daren!  "Har Gaqi answered truthfully.

    "Very good!" Hilgen was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered in a low voice: "After the second wave of our army's army crossing the lake lands, the troop transport fleet and escort fleet will return to the ferry at the mouth of the lake again, and you can board the escort ship.  The flagship of the fleet, lead all the warships of the escort fleet to Zhongshan, join forces with the main fleet of E Nai, and act according to the plan. I will entrust you to break the stalemate and surprise the battlefield!"

    "Zha." Halgazi respectfully agreed, and then asked in a low voice: "General, you let the humble officer take away all the escorting warships, that side of the ferry"

    "Don't worry, Wu Gou doesn't have warships here, and our troop carriers are safe." With a wave of Hilgen's hand, Halgaqi didn't dare to neglect, and quickly took orders to leave.

 Chapter 286 The decisive battle in northern Jiangxi (Part 2)

    ?

    (ps: I have to go out if I have something to do. The number of words today is a bit small. Please forgive me, and ask for a March monthly ticket. March is already. For the monthly ticket of friends, please vote for the pure and honest wolf.)

    When the sun rose to the middle of the sky, on the land of Dagutang, the second main battlefield between the Wu army in northern Jiangxi and the Qing army in northern Jiangxi, and the only way from Nankang Fucheng to Meijiazhou, the Wu army led by Gao Dejie was on the sidelines.  Meet face to face with the Nanchang Qing Army led by Zhao Guozuo, a veteran of the Mite Qing Dynasty. On this open battlefield, a contest of life and death will begin, a duel of victory and defeat!

    This is a duel between evil and justice. As the loyal lackey and hard-core accomplice of the old traitor Wu, Gao Dejie is not only the vanguard of the old traitor Wu's team entering Burma, the executor who captured Emperor Yongli alive, but also Wu  The powerful accomplice of the old traitor who resisted national integration, the executioner who brutally slaughtered the descendants of Mrs. Shexiang, and the eternal sinner who destroyed the spread of culture.  Gao Dejie is undoubtedly one of the culprits in such a popular historical drama!

    However, as a party of justice, the old general Zhao Guozuo of the Qing Dynasty can be said to have made outstanding military exploits and has a long history. As early as in the Tiancong period of the Qing Dynasty, he had followed my Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty to fight in the east and west, and conquered the south and the north.  And after I entered the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, General Zhao participated in the famous Yangzhou Ten-Day Bandit Suppression War, the Jiading Three-Day Bandit War, and the Yijian Jiangyin Battle of the Bandits.  , Inlaid with a white flag, the Han army's Gushan forehead is true!  Later, our old general Zhao of the Qing Dynasty successfully wiped out the harassment and destruction of the southeast coast of the Qing Dynasty by the rebel Zheng Chenggong, and smashed Zheng Chenggong's rebels' ambition to occupy the important town of Nanjing in the Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop, and maintained a harmonious and stable Daqing.  The prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, established an inexhaustible feat for my Qing Dynasty!  It can be said that he deserves the official title of Admiral of Jiangxi in the Qing Dynasty!

    The comparison of the strength of the two sides is as follows. The Wu army has 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry. The Qing army has more than 4,000 cavalry and about 6,000 infantry. The Wu army has a certain advantage in strength, but it is not very obvious.  Therefore, after initially ascertaining the enemy's situation, Gao Dejie quickly made tactical arrangements, and asked his deputy Wu Yonghua, Gao Qi, and Li Xiongfei to lead the Wu army's infantry to form a central formation.  For the Qing army, he and his brother Gao Hongchen divided the 5,000 cavalry into two and placed them on the two wings of the infantry, ready to launch a flank raid at any time.

    At the same time, Zhao Guozuo also quickly made a tactical choice. Since the scouts detected that the Meijiazhou Ferry in the north had already started fighting, Zhao Guozuo decisively gave up his plan to break through the Wu army's blockade, and decided to implement the second tactical goal assigned to him by Hill Gen.  That is to say, the main force of the Wu army who entangled Gao Dejie to relieve pressure on other battlefields.  So Zhao Guozuo decisively ordered the Qing army to stop in a wide area about five miles away from the Wu army, and arranged a circular formation conducive to holding on, with swordsmen and spearmen outside, archers and musketeers inside, and cavalry hiding in the center of the circle, as if  The poisonous snake is coiled up, ready to spit out deadly venom at any time.

    At the beginning of noon, the two armies had just finished forming their formations. Gao Dejie, who likes to run and fight, took the lead in launching the offensive. He waved his flag and ordered Gao Hongchen on the left wing to attack first.  Shoot and kill the soldiers of the Qing army on the periphery, and patiently look for flaws in the Qing army's formation.  Under the command of Zhao Guozuo, the soldiers of the Qing army held their ground calmly and fought back desperately with bows, arrows and muskets. They also kept shooting and killing the Wu army cavalry who came into range.  Arrows and lead bullets came and went like locusts in mid-air, and the screams and hisses of soldiers and horses hit by arrows could be heard endlessly.

    They circled the Qing army circle for more than a dozen circles. Given that the Qing army's bows, arrows and muskets were too dense, the Wu army cavalry led by Gao Hongchen could not find an ideal breakthrough, and gradually became a little bit impatient.  Gao Dejie resolutely refused and ordered: "Our army's cavalry is precious and should not be wasted at will. Return to the left wing to regroup and replenish ammunition and bows."

    The order was conveyed, Gao Hongchen's army retreated to the left wing of the self-army formation to rest, the Qing army cheered thunderously, Zhao Yue, the son of Zhao Guozuo, and his beloved general Chang Jinggong flew to Zhao Guozuo to ask for a fight, and asked Zhao Guozuo to allow the cavalry of the self-army to attack and kill  Gao Hongchen's retreating team, Zhao Guozuo resolutely refused, and shouted: "No way! Have you seen those giant arrows in front of Wugou's formation? According to the confession of Wugou soldiers captured by our army before, they are called rockets. The more than 20,000 cavalry in Aozhongtang back then were  In front of these rockets, they died in less than a moment! Our cavalry will only die in vain if they attack!"

    "Father, what should we do?" Zhao Yue asked worriedly.

    "Wait patiently." Zhao Guozuo said solemnly, "In the previous Jiujiang wars, Wu Gou was not willing to use this powerful field firearm. It can be seen that the number of such rockets in Wu Gou's hands is not small.  , it is difficult to supply, so Wu Gou has been using sparingly all the time, and now it is deployed in front of the formation, obviously to use it to destroy our army's cavalry.; "Brother LuGeneral." Kong Fanlin, who did not leave immediately, hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists and said: "General, the scouts in charge of the last general also found that some warships full of dogs have a deep draft, which seems to contain  Will the army, including the army, be attacking the west? Pretend to attack the Meijiazhou pier, actually attack the Jiujiang water gate, and want to eat our navy by the way?"

    "Very good, it's good that you can be so careful. You can count on your hard work if you can analyze the sounds of dogs all over the world." Fatty Lu nodded in satisfaction, and then smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter, I have already arranged a grand banquet, just waiting  Treat this surprise attack army full of dogs."

 Chapter 287: The Decisive Battle in North Jiangxi (Part 2)

    ?

    Fatty Lu made things simpler, and felt that it would be difficult for Hu Tongchun to withdraw from the battlefield in time to make room for the Wu army to use other tactics, so he sent 3,000 infantry soldiers into the battlefield with a full quarter rate, intending to take Hu Tongchun's team out  However, what made Fatty Lu miscalculate was that the soldiers of the Wu Army and the Qing Army on the battlefield at Meijiazhou Wharf had already become red-hot, and the battle had already entered a fever pitch.  , The 3,000 people brought with them were completely trapped.

    It can't be blamed for the lack of resolute execution of the order in the whole festival. The main reason is that the two armies of the Qing army, Sanger and Yalai, who were landing, saw the reinforcements of the Wu army, and thought that the Wu army was trying to drive them into Poyang Lake to drown and fight against the water.  In order to survive, the soldiers and generals naturally erupted with the most powerful combat power, one after another, group after group, howling like chicken blood, charging towards the land, joining the already extremely fierce dock battlefield.  The entire battlefield is as messy as a pot of boiling rice porridge. The pot of rice porridge is composed of soldiers from the Wu army wearing white felt hats and soldiers from the Qing army wearing red weft hats.  Every soldier and every general is fighting on their own. The comparison is whose knife is faster and whose ax is crueler. Soldiers from both sides are covered in blood and wrestling everywhere. The entire army rushes into such a battlefield.  , Don't say that the support of the friendly army has left the battle. If you have a little timidity and retreat, you will immediately become a dead soul under the sword.  In desperation, the entire army could only show the determination to die or live, and started a bloody fight with the enemy with red eyes, and was soon completely forgotten by the purpose of joining the battle group.

    Seeing such a battle situation through the binoculars, Fatty Lu was inevitably both worried and fortunate. He was naturally worried that Hutongchun and Quanjie¡¯s team suffered heavy casualties, but he was fortunate that he had never underestimated the enemy tactically.  Although this Qing army has been hiding in Anqing City, which is far away from the main battlefield, its combat effectiveness and morale are no less than any Qing army that Wu Jun has encountered before.  The army behind the palace led by Oboi himself can be compared with the current Qing army.  Fortunately, Wu Jun lured this Qing army out of the decisive battle of Anqing Jiancheng. If this Qing army is allowed to defend against the city, the fat man wants to capture Anqing city. How much the price should be paid is what Fatty Lu can't do.  imagined.

    "Uncle, let me go too." An Jiarong, the nephew of Fatty Lu's Yi nationality who was wrapped in a white cloth on his head, ran over and begged impatiently, "Uncle, let my nephew bring the soldiers up to break the deadlock for you."  , teach this gang of dogs a lesson!"

    "No hurry." Fatty Lu shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "Nephew, although your â£â£ soldiers are the strongest in our army in terms of infantry combat, they are full of morale now, and you will only be trapped if you charge up."  On the battlefield, wait patiently, when the time comes, you will be my trump card to break the stalemate on the battlefield." An Jiarong nodded with a half-understanding, barely holding back his fighting spirit and retreated.

    At the same time, on the east bank of Poyang Lake, Hilgen also discovered the Wu army's reinforcements on the wharf battlefield. However, limited by the viewing angle, Hilgen didn't know that Fatty Lu's army originally wanted to take over his own army and withdraw from the battlefield.  He was forced to fall into the battlefield fiercely, and he also said that Fatty Lu was also using refueling tactics, intending to disturb the Qing army's landing army, so that his superior navy would not dare to fire at the pier, so Hilgen quickly showed a happy smile,  He smiled and said, "Lu Yifeng's son, he's a genius in strategy, but he's a bit young in tactics."

    "Report¡ª!" A messenger flew to the Qing army's flag formation, knelt down on one knee in front of Hilgen, and clapped his hands and said: "General Zhao Guozuo has given up his tactics and attacked with cavalry.  Gou Gao Dejie launched a counterattack, and the infantry of Wu Gou's brigade was dispatched to charge the infantry brigade of old General Zhao Guozuo, and the battle was extremely fierce!"

    "This Zhao Guozuo, what is he up to?" Master Zhang Taibei snorted shamelessly, "The general asked him to bite Gao Dejie Wu dog, but he gave up his defense and took the counter attack. Didn't he read military books?"

    "It's also fortunate that old general Zhao is not as familiar with military books as Master Bei, and has a deep understanding of strategy. Otherwise, this battle will be even more difficult to fight." Hilgen sneered coldly, and then waved to the orderly and ordered: "  Ask the scouts to continue to closely monitor the situation in Dagutang, and report immediately if there is any situation."

    The messenger led the order away, and Hilgen stood up again, and called the captain of the personal army to the front, and ordered: "Send the fast boat to order Hargaqi, let him march at full speed, attack the water gate of Jiujiang, and break the deadlock on the battlefield  Let Wu Gou completely collapse! Then send an order to Jue Luo Babur and Yi Erduqi to get them ready to board the ship. Our troop transport ship will return to the Hukou wharf and immediately board the ship to cross the lake.  The main force of this Wu dog bites it thoroughly! Don't let go if you bite to death!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Just as the scouts of the Qing army reported to Hilgen, on the battlefield of Dagutang at this moment, the Gaodejie Department of the Wu Army and the Zhao Guozuo Department of the Qing Army.?¡­¡­

    On March 25th, the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, when you are approaching in the afternoon, after a day of fierce and bloody battles, our main navy in northern Jiangxi in the Qing Dynasty, under the support of Han Daren, the general of the Wu rebel army who had returned anyway,  Succeeded in the surprise attack on the water gate of Jiujiang, and successfully entered Jiujiang City, breaking the stalemate in the decisive battle in northern Jiangxi in one fell swoop!  ¡ª¡ªThe author can swear that the stalemate in the decisive battle in northern Jiangxi was indeed broken in one fell swoop!

    "Long live the Qing Dynasty! Long live the Qing Dynasty! Long live the Qing Dynasty, long live, long live¡ª!"

    Amidst the cheers of joy and ecstasy, the warships of the Qing army, headed by the flagship of the Qing army navy, approached the Jiujiang North Gate wharf that had been completely damaged by the artillery bombardment one by one.  The river bank embankment of the personnel, before the warship stopped, let alone put down the springboard, the soldiers and generals of the Qing army were already red-eyed, shouting the slogan "Long live, long live, long live, long live, Emperor Kang Mazi of the Great Qing Dynasty", jumping onto the pier and jumping off the land  , jumped into the shallow water, howled ghosts and howled towards the Jiujiang water gate that had been opened by the rebels of the Wu army.

    Probably it was fantasizing about the beauty of raping and plundering after entering the city, or it might be the dream of being a feudal official, or it was more likely that it was a slave who made troubles. It was really for the sake of loyalty to the Qing Dynasty and Mazi Tartar, and to win the first to enter the city.  The supreme glory of the Qing army secretly carried the elite Qing army in northern Jiangxi. The warships of the Qing army competed for each other, collided with each other, and rushed to land on the shore.  The generals of the waiting Qing army not only did not stop them, but kept yelling, "Quick, land quickly! Enter the city quickly! The sooner the better!"

    He was also sensible, and Hargaqi shouted: "Don't panic, don't be chaotic, gather first after landing, and then enter the city!" It's a pity that his voice was so weak amidst the thunderous cheers, so  The soldiers and generals of the Qing army who fantasized about going to the city to make a fortune even if they heard it, pretended not to hear it. The mess was just scrambling to enter the city. The sailors who manipulated the flagship simply waved the flag directly to the water gate tower, just because the water gate was too small  The flagship is too big to be able to enter the city, otherwise the flagship of the Qing army will definitely drive directly into the city.

    "General of the Qing Dynasty, quickly invite the Qing army to enter the city!" A shout came from the city wall of Shuimen.  Entering the city, Li Tianzhi's army of thieves is already coming here! Enter the city quickly, or it will be too late¡ª¡ª!"

    Of course, Halgaqi and E Nai didn't know who Li Tianzhi was, but judging from the tone of his voice and the shouts of killing coming from inside Jiujiang City, Hal Gaqi and E Nai could also guess the reason right away¡ªit must be loyal to Li Tianzhi.  Fatty Lu's Wu army found that the situation was wrong, and they had already rushed towards this side.  At the moment Hargaqi also gave up his plan to rally into the city, and just kept shouting, "Go into the city, go into the city right away, go into the city and fight Wugou Xiang!"

    Roaring, both Hal Gaqi and E Nai led the guards to jump off the flagship, and rushed into the water gate with the handsome flag, intending to advance to the city and go up to the tower to meet Han Daren, and then organize the army to fight the Wu army in the street.  And when the commander-in-chief's flag entered the city, the morale of the soldiers behind the Qing army was like a rainbow. Before the ships took turns to dock, they jumped onto the pier and rushed into the Jiujiang city gate that had been opened by the rebels of the Wu army.

    Jiujiang Water Gate is a urn structure. In addition to the water gate outside, there is also a dry gate inside. You have to enter this dry gate to truly enter the city. However, the dry gate has already been opened by the rebels of the Wu army, and the other one is probably  It was blocked by the sundries used by the Wu army, and it has not been opened yet, so it is easy for the Qing army to enter the Wengcheng, but it is difficult to enter the Hanmen.  , but the speed of entering the city is even slower.  And Hal Gaqi was not in a hurry, he just shouted: "Order all the troops to form a team quickly, Wu Gou's remnants are about to be killed!"

    "Boom!" At this moment, there was a loud noise from behind Hargaqi, together with the pained screams and panicked screams of Qing soldiers. When Hargaqi looked back in surprise,  , but was stunned to find that the water gate that had been lifted by the rebels of the Wu army had slammed to the ground at some point, smashing the Qing army soldiers crowded under the water gate to bloody flesh, broken tendons and bones, and more than two thousand soldiers who had rushed into the urn city  The soldiers of the Qing army and the follow-up army of the Qing army outside were completely cut in two at once!

    "Boom!" There was the sound of a new hanging door falling, and a solid iron fence suddenly fell down at the exit of the corridor leading to the city from Wengcheng, which cut off the Qing army's entry road in Wengcheng.  Truly, completely turned into a turtle in a urn!

    "We've been tricked¡ª!" Hargaqi finally came to his senses, and screamed heart-piercingly, "We've been tricked!"

    "Hahahahaha!" Amid wild laughter, Han Daren, who had met Hargaqi in the camp of the Qing army, stood beside the stack of arrows, beside Yitanbu who was tied up like a rice dumpling.  Han Daren laughed maniacally and said, "Kargaqi, you have fallen for my great general's trick! If you are smart, quickly kneel down and surrender, and I will spare you!"

    "Kid Han Daren, I'll fuck your mother's eighteen generations of ancestors!" Hargaqi cursed in despair.

    Han Daren smiled and didn't speak. He just waved his hand, and countless Wu soldiers with bows, arrows and muskets stood on the wall of the Wengcheng City, facing the completely surrounded Qing Dynasty.After the personal soldiers confessed the identity of Zhao Guozuo's old traitor to Wu Jun's scouts, all the unscrupulous scouts of the Fatty Army trained by Fatty Lu's good friend Kong Fanlin were all angry, "You fucking old thing, I would rather die than make great contributions to the old men  Brothers, cut off the head of this old man for credit, drag the body ashore, chop it up and feed it to the dogs!"

    "That's right! Put a few more shit on the old man, and let him be a ghost for 10,000 years¡ª! Captured Jiangxi Admiral alive, what a credit!"

    On the evening of March 25th in the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Guozuo, the admiral of Jiangxi in the Qing Dynasty, was defeated and died. After his death, he was beheaded and humiliated by Wu Jun soldiers.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    At the same time, on the Meijiazhou battlefield, the main force of the Fatty Army under the personal command of Lu Fatty used rocket vehicles to clear the way, and had already launched a full-scale attack on the Qing army crossing the lake at the Meijiazhou pier. More than two hundred rocket vehicles, large and small,  More than 500 Mihao rockets were sprayed out in one volley, and the Mihao rockets dragging white smoke roared into the Qing army, and they exploded violently one after another.  All around, blood and flesh flew wildly, cries were like thunder, and screams were like waves.

    "ßÝßÝßÝßÝ¡ª¡ª!" Another series of Miyoshi rockets spurted out with red tail flames, mercilessly pounced on the densely packed and panic-stricken Qing army team, and the Qing army cavalry who had just assembled into an army were about to launch a charge  The team was in complete chaos, people and horses were running around, trampling on each other, countless people were killed, bombed to death, and trampled to death. In addition, the fifth wave of troop transport fleet had just landed, and the Qing soldiers and horses on board wanted to land.  The cavalry and infantry of the Qing army wanted to board the boat, and you fought over each other, crowded each other, scuffled each other, fell into the water countless times, and the boats sank countless times. The sound of people shouting and neighing echoed not only on the pier but also in the water.

    "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Sanhao rockets are still spraying. It's not because Fatty Lu treats himself more favorably than others. He only gave Gao Dejie 800 rockets but he opened them up.  There are many cavalry, and the value is far different. In this era, killing a Manchu can save hundreds of people of all ethnic groups in China, and reduce the future burden for thousands of people in China.  Definitely worth it.

    Some friends will definitely ask, actually Fatty Lu holds a powerful Miyoshi rocket in his hand, why didn't he use it before, but why he only uses it now, sacrificing so many soldiers of the Wu army for no reason?  This is exactly the insidiousness of Fatty Lu. If it is used during the day, when the number of Qing troops on the Meijiazhou Wharf is small, then not only is the cost-effective ratio low, but once the huge power of the Miyoshi rocket is exposed, it will be used for a long time.  The old fox Xiergen, who was on guard against Miyoshi Rockets in every possible way, saw it with a telescope on the east bank. Naturally, he refused to say anything and took the courage to break the boat, and continued to transport the precious elite cavalry to the west bank.

    Therefore, it can only be used when the Qing army has crossed half of the lake and the sky is completely dark, so as to kill Huaxia parasites more effectively and clear the Eight Banners.  In the real situation, I can't decide whether to order the withdrawal of troops, or continue to cross the lake to die?

    "What's going on on the other side?" Just as Fatty Lu expected, Hilgen saw the flames on the battlefield on the east bank, and heard the constant explosions and the cries of the self-armed army, but he couldn't see the west bank of Poyang Lake clearly.  The real situation on the battlefield, the feeling in my heart is naturally like a knife, and my forehead is so anxious that smoke is on my forehead. I can't make up my mind whether to continue crossing the lake or order a retreat. There is only one thought in my heart, "What should I do? What should I do?  Emperor Taizong, teach your slaves!"

    "Keep shooting! Keep shooting!" Contrary to Hilgen's urgency, at this moment, Fatty Lu is calm and composed, just waving his fat hand, and ordered like a villain, "Let Qin Yong take three thousand two hundred  Shoot all the rockets, not a single one is allowed!"

    After Xiao Erlang took the order and left, Fatty Lu turned to An Jiarong, the general of the Fatty Army who was eager to fight, and said with a smile: "Nephew, when the rockets are finished shooting, you will be the vanguard. Go up and kill the dogs when you see them.  You're welcome, it's up to you."

    "Uncle, don't worry, my nephew won't be polite to a dog!" An Jiarong nodded vigorously, raised his thick-backed giant sword as tall as half a man, and shouted at the more than 800 Miao Yi warriors with heads wrapped in white cloth behind him: "  Brothers, after the rocket is shot, follow me, what will you do if you see Mangou?"

    "Kill!" More than 800 huge swords were raised above the head, and the neat and loud slogans echoed on the shore of Poyang Lake, "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill all the dogs!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 289 Big Victory

    ?

    For the Fatty Army, the most difficult thing was the water battlefield north of the Jiujiang Water Gate, because the strength of the Fatty Army Navy and the Qing Army Navy was too great.

    The navy of the Qing army has more than 200 large warships and thousands of light boats and small boats, most of which are newly built fast boats. They are well-equipped and skilled, with more than 10,000 soldiers;  The navy led by the traitor Li Guodong only has more than 50 warships of different models, new and old, of which 16 are old-fashioned warships brought by the traitor Li Guodong when he donated Yuezhou to the old traitor Wu.  They are almost at the age of Fatty Lu, and there are only about 4,000 soldiers, two-thirds of which are composed of surrendered troops from the Qing army and infantry soldiers from the Wu army.  One can imagine.

    Therefore, even though Han Daren, Li Tianzhi and other generals had already lured a large number of Qing army warships to the water gate to attack with infantry under the ingenious arrangement of Lu Fatty, sinking and capturing many Qing army warships, Line Yuer  The artillery team of the Wu army under the command also sank and damaged some of the Qing army's warships, but the strength of the remaining navy of the Qing army was still higher than that of the Wu army's navy commanded by Li Guodong.  So even when the decisive battle in northern Jiangxi came to an end, the Fatty Army had already secured its victory, and the Fatty Army Navy under the command of traitor Li Guodong was still helpless with the remaining Qing Army Navy, let alone wiped out the enemy.  If you can avoid big losses in the water battle, you are already Amitabha.

    Although there is a great disparity in power, Li Guodong's reputation as a traitor is not in vain, and even his descendants will follow Shi Dakai to fight against the Qing Dynasty.  Leading the Wu Jun navy into the Daqingshui Division brigade, and started a hand-to-hand battle with the Daqingshui Division. While killing the officers and men of the Daqingshui Division frantically, he sent his son Li Jiyang to contact the Jiujiang Fort to let the Wu Jun artillery continue to fire and continue to bombard the already  The Daqingshui division who got into a mess with Wu Jun's navy!

    The self-army is already mixed with the enemy, and the self-army artillery is still firing at the battlefield. Li Guodong's tactics are so crazy that even Lin Yu'er was taken aback. She opened her beautiful big eyes and shouted at Li Guodong's son Li Jiyang  : "Is your father crazy? Our fleet is mixed with the fleet of Mangou, and I still want to continue firing? What if we hit our own warship?!"

    "Miss Line, please rest assured that my father is ready to die for the country." Li Jiyang replied with his chest out: "Mangou still has more than 100 warships, including 60 to 70 gunboats.  The division has only fifty or so variegated warships, most of which are old warships, with few troops and slow speed, they are no match for the Mangou navy! Mangou has been paying attention to guarding against our suicide sampans, thousands of  The small boat is entangled with our small boat, and the suicide sampan can't be dispatched at all. If we continue to fight like this, our navy will undoubtedly lose. The only way to turn defeat into victory is to cover the battlefield with artillery fire, completely destroying the morale and fighting spirit of the full dog sailor  , we sailors have a chance!"

    Line Yu'er continued to be dumbfounded. After watching for a long time, he found that Li Jiyang didn't seem to be joking, so he shook his head and refused: "No, I can't do this. I can't let the artillery hit my own people."

    "Miss Line, if you fire the cannon, my father and the last general may not be able to come back, but there is still hope. If you don't fire the cannon, my father and the last general are no match for Man Gou, and they will never come back." Li Jiyang replied in a deep voice.  , took out a piece of letter paper written in blood from his bosom, held it in front of Line Yuer with both hands, and said solemnly: "Miss Line, this is my father's suicide note written with his own blood, and it is for the prince. If my father and the general return home  If you don¡¯t come, please ask Miss Line to forward it to the prince on behalf of my father.¡±

    Looking at Li Guodong's bloody letter, Line Yu'er's lips trembled, and she nodded after a long while. She tremblingly took Li Guodong's suicide note and put it away solemnly.  Putting down the fort by himself, jumping on the self-armed warship waiting by the river, set sail, and rushed to the fierce battle on the water without hesitation.  Line Yu'er issued an order tremblingly, "Order the forts everywhere, aim at the battlefield on the water, and fire!" Before he finished speaking, Line Yu'er was already in tears.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Wu Jun's fort, which had been silent for a while, roared again, pouring row after row of blooming shells onto the distant river battlefield, and onto the naval battlefield where the enemy and us were intertwined.  The flying closeboard warships bombarded the bows of the naval warships of the Wu army and the Qing army, and immediately exploded everywhere on the battlefield, with fire and water spraying into the sky, broken masts of flags flying all over the sky, and screams and screams everywhere.

    Before the hand-to-hand combat started, the traitor Li Guodong had already informed the ships of his own army of his decision, so the generals of the Wu army had already been mentally prepared for this, and they just rushed madly, desperately jumping on the enemy's warship to kill and seize the ship.  , Throw alcohol incendiary bombs and burn enemy ships.  The Qing army is in complete chaos, and countless soldiers and generals of the Qing army are hysterical.The little ones said goodbye.  Seeing Han Daren leading Itanbu away, Li Ya, who was very winking, hurriedly led a few veterans of the Wu army to leave. Fatty Lu nodded his head in agreement, and then suddenly his heart moved, and he shouted: "Wait a minute.  "

    The veterans of the Wu army were stunned, and hurriedly stood still. Fatty Lu smiled and said, "Leave Li Ya, the others go down and wait for rewards."  Ya waited inexplicably in place.

    "Li Ya, if I remember correctly, last time I asked Brother Dajie to find a clever person to punish Kong Sizhen, it seems to be you?" Fatty Lu asked.

    Li Ya nodded and admitted, and Gao Hongchen next to him interrupted with a smile: "The general remembers correctly, this kid is as smart as a crystal monkey, so he was cheated last time against Kong Sizhen and this time against Itanbu."

    "Very good. I'm just worried that I can't find a smart and capable person to help me with a big event." Fatty Lu was overjoyed, and he lifted the felt hat on Li Ya's head himself, and found that his hair was quite long, tied with a  False braids are definitely not a problem, and I couldn't help but feel even more happy, so I asked, "Li Ya, this general has an errand for you that requires brainstorming, it's dangerous, do you dare to go?"

    "I ask the general to give you instructions, the villain dare not obey." Li Ya agreed loudly, and then asked tentatively: "General, what kind of errand would make you say it's dangerous?"

    "I have a friend. I saved his life, but I just don't know if he still misses me." Fatty Lu replied, "So I want to send a shrewd person to deliver a letter to him."  Letter, test him."

 Chapter 290 Crazy Fatty

    ?

    (ps: Introduce a friend's new book, "Dan Ti", ISBN 2244281. By the way, ask yourself a monthly pass.)

    After two days of resting and watching, after discovering that the Fatty Army did not reveal any flaws and did not give the self-armed army a chance to sneak attack, the veteran of the Mite Qing Dynasty also completely died of stealing and cheating, so he had to let the remnants of the Anqing Qing Army continue to be stationed in the lake.  At the same time, he ordered Zhao Yue to replace his father, Zhao Guozuo, and lead the remaining more than 6,000 defeated soldiers to abandon Nankang City. Xingye withdrew to Nanchang, where he was originally stationed, and assisted Xibu, the capital of the Qing Dynasty, to defend Nanchang City, waiting for the Qing Dynasty to send reinforcements.  reinforce.  ¡ª¡ªAlthough Hilgen himself didn't know where Kang Mazi could draw troops to Nanchang for reinforcements, he still couldn't order Zhao Yue and Xi Bu to abandon Nanchang City, right?

    On the night of March 28, Zhao Yue, Xu Zhen and other Qing army generals were ordered to abandon Nankang City, abandon all useless supplies, and lead the remnants of the army to retreat to Nanchang overnight under the cover of night.  Fatty Lu, who has been paying close attention to the movement of the Qing army in Nankang, was unable to go after and kill the remnant Qing army with all his strength due to various reasons such as Hiergen's restraint, exhaustion of the army, and huge consumption of ammunition, but he would not miss this opportunity to beat the dog in the water.  Opportunity, two generals Wang Xu and Gao Hongchen were sent to lead 6,000 infantry and cavalry to chase and kill them.  He also caught up with the Qing army near De'an. Although Zhao Yue personally led the elite army, his morale was depressed and the army had no fighting spirit. He was defeated by Wang Xuhe and Gao Hongchen.  Xiushui River was rescued by Xi Bu's rescue troops from Nanchang, and they got rid of the pursuit. Gao Hongchen and Wang Xu didn't dare to advance too lightly, so they could only stop at the Xiushui River, pack up their troops and return home triumphantly.

    On March 30th, after it was confirmed that Zhao Yue's remnant army had withdrawn to Nanchang City, the Qing army on the east bank of Poyang Lake also pulled out their battalion and mobilized troops. Hilgen personally led the army behind the palace and retreated to Anqing by water and land. Wu Jun dispatched naval divisions to pursue  However, Hill was able to rule the army well, the army was well-organized, the first mover was not anxious, the latter was not afraid, and retreated slowly at every step. The Wu army's navy did not have a land army to respond to the battle, and did not seize a good opportunity to severely injure the enemy.  Only sank three Qing army warships in the artillery battle, gave up the pursuit when they chased near Xiaogushan, and returned to Jiujiang to hand over orders.

    Strictly speaking, the reason why the Wu army failed to create another glory in the pursuit battle and expand the results again, although there are objective reasons such as terrain restrictions, army exhaustion, and huge ammunition consumption, but the main reason is that Lu Fatty's combat style is conservative.  He refuses to take the risk of using the main force to hunt down the enemy's defeated soldiers. Otherwise, even if he can't severely damage the Hilgen army on the east bank of Poyang Lake, and wipe out 70% to 80% of the remnants of the Qing army on land in Nankang Mansion, that's still not much.  difficult.  In this regard, although the generals of the Wu army also had many suggestions, persuading Fatty Lu to pursue them with all their strength or send troops ahead of time to block the retreat of the remnants of the Qing army in Nankang, they were all rejected by Fatty Lu who had other plans for various reasons, and he just sat and watched this opportunity to miss.

    Fatty Lu, who has always been as cunning as a fox on the battlefield, would sit back and watch his fighter miss. The generals of the Wu army are naturally puzzled, but fortunately, the shrewd and cunning image that Fatty Lu has established for a long time has played a role, even Gao Dejie,  Han Daren and Wang Xu, the elders of Wu Jun who had spoken out in Fatty's Army, did not express any dissatisfaction, and they all thought that Fatty Lu's move must have a deep meaning, and they must be planning some wicked idea that would cause black smoke to rise from the ancestral grave.  Letting the enemy go - this is the truth, but what these Wu Jun old men probably never imagined in their dreams is that Fatty Lu's move is not only counting the enemy, but also secretly counting the friendly army!

    Rather than chasing after the poor, Fatty Lu¡¯s coma is not without benefits. At least the whole Fatty¡¯s army has enough rest time, enough time to treat the wounded and reorganize the troops.  At the same time, after the defeat of the Qing army, Liao Wenying, the well-known prefect of Nankang, was afraid that the Wu army would wash the city and harm the people.  Officials such as Wenying praised them greatly and let them cut their braids and grow their hair and stay in their posts. They organized the people under their control to cut their braids and grow their hair, and recovered one prefecture and four counties in the surrounding area without a single soldier.

    On the second day of April, Wang Shaobo, who had been sent back to Wuchang Mansion by Fatty Lu before the decisive battle in northern Jiangxi, finally returned to Jiujiang, and brought to Fatty Lu a transport team composed of ordinary civilian ships. Fatty Lu went to the pier in person  meet.  After the meeting, the sycophant Wang Shaobo had no choice but to flatter Lu Fatty in front of Fatty Lu, wishing Fatty Lu a great victory in northern Jiangxi and his extraordinary achievements, but Fatty Lu was not happy.  Of course, the supply fleet brought back by Wang Shaobo is really too small. There are only 21 ordinary medium-sized cargo ships. Even if they are all fully loaded, how many supply firearms that the Fatty Army is in short supply can carry?

    "Boss, this is the luggage list that the students escorted back this time, please have a look at it." Seeing that Fatty Lu looked unhappy, Wang Shaobo quickly handed over the list with both hands, and carefully asked Fatty Lu to have a look.

    "Two thousand two hundred rockets, two thousand grenades, one thousand five hundred shells, eight thousand five hundred shells,bsp; The four generals Gao Dejie, Han Daren, Wang Xu, and Li Guodong looked at each other, and they all felt that Fatty Lu's words were extremely crazy, but they also felt that they were quite reasonable.  After hesitating for a while, Han Daren asked tremblingly, "General, what about the third question? We have taken Jiangnan, what if we can't hold it?"

    "Four generals, you seem to have forgotten one person?" Fatty Lu asked slowly: "We have entered the south of the Yangtze River, and the old man surnamed Zheng in Taiwan can still sit still? With their support, we  As long as you occupy a random city along the river or along the coast, you can advance, attack, retreat, or defend, are you afraid that there is no way out?"

    Gao Dejie, Han Daren, Wang Xu, and Li Guodong patted the table together and sighed, admitting that they had indeed completely forgotten about Brother Zheng Jing.  When the news of Wu Jun's invasion of Jiangnan, they will definitely rush into Jiangnan from the sea like chicken blood, and they will definitely not discount it in the slightest!  With the invincible Taiwanese navy to respond, even if we can't defend Jiangnan, we can retreat by sea. By then, we will already have a lot of money, and we are afraid that we will not have enough food and clothing for the rest of our lives?

    "There is another news, I will not hide it from you." Fatty Lu said seriously again: "Do you still remember Li Ya? I have arranged for him to lead a team of elite soldiers, disguised as ordinary businessmen, and go to Nanjing first.  In the difficult city of Nanjing, there is an important minister full of dogs who is my best friend. I have saved his life, so he obeyed me. I sent Li Ya to contact him, just to let him get ready.  When our army reaches the city of Nanjing, he will - open the city gate!"

    "Really?" Gao Dejie and other four generals' eyes lit up, and their hearts began to be ecstatic. Nanjing is definitely the strongest city in the south of the Yangtze River.  It is the real ability to advance and attack, and to retreat and defend.

    "Brother Dajie, General Han, General Li, General Wang, brothers, I like to play tricks, but those are all tricks against the enemy." Fatty Lu said sincerely: "Please ask yourselves, brothers, I have been fighting with you since I fought side by side.  , did you do something sorry to you? Did you say something to deceive you?"

    Gao Dejie and the others nodded slowly, admitting that Fatty Lu is indeed very kind to his friends and brothers, and would rather suffer for himself than let his friends and brothers suffer.  After thinking about it for a long time, Gao Dejie gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, please express your opinion. Brother Lu's tactics, shall we do it?"

    The three generals Wang Xu, Han Daren, and Li Guodong were silent. After a long while, Han Daren slapped the table and shouted decisively: "Wealth and wealth are in danger. I have a bowl-sized scar on my head. I will do it!"

    "Fighting Jiangnan is also for the sake of the prince, for the sake of the prince, I will do it." Wang Xu nodded.

    "As long as it is to kill Manchu, fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty and destroy the Manchus, I am willing to take a gamble." Li Guodong said.

    "I agree too." Gao Dejie nodded, then turned to Fatty Lu and said, "Brother Lu, we can gamble with you, but you must promise us one thing! No matter how hard it is in the future, even if  When it comes to the moment of life and death when the whole army is wiped out, you can't do anything wrong to the lord, let alone bow your knees to Man Gou, otherwise, I will be the first to let you go!"

    "Brother, if I would bow my knees to Man Gou, then I would already be Man Gou's six ministers." Fatty Lu stretched out a fat hand, and said solemnly: "Please four generals to testify, if Lu Yifeng makes the slightest  I'm sorry about the matter of the prince, then please don't be polite to the four generals, please take the eight and a half catties on Lu Yifeng's neck!"

    Gao Dejie nodded, stretched out his right hand and pressed it on Fatty Lu's fat hand, and then Han Daren, Wang Xu and Li Guodong also stretched out their right hands and pressed it on the hands of Fatty Lu and Gao Dejie.  Two dirty black hands, tightly held together!  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

 Chapter 291 Desperate

    ?

    Fatty Lu actually somewhat overestimated the information transmission ability of the Qing army, and also somewhat underestimated the experience of the old fox Xiergen in reporting good news but not bad news. In fact, until the day when he ordered the withdrawal of troops on March 30, Xiergen did not dare to  The news of the fiasco in the decisive battle in northern Jiangxi was rushed to the capital by 800 miles, and reported to Kang Mazi. Every day in the big tent, I was worried about big eyes to small eyes, old eyes to young eyes, and old eyes to young eyes with Master Beizi of Zhangtai.  How to report the bad news to Kang Mazi.

    ?Some friends will definitely ask, it¡¯s alright for Mr. Beizi Zhangtai, why would the old fox Xiergen worry about how to report the fiasco in northern Jiangxi to Kang Mazi?  Isn't this nonsense?  If you lose, you lose, and if you lose, you lose. The responsible Hilgen can just report the truth, why bother thinking about whether to report good news or not bad news? What if the military plane is delayed?

    My friends are right to ask. Hilgen, who is loyal to Kang Mazi and the Qing court, really wants to honestly confess the fiasco to Kang Mazi, and asks Kang Mazi to make strategic adjustments as soon as possible to prevent Wu Jun's attack.  The next move¡ªbut the question is, does Hilgen dare?  It was Kang Mazi who credulously believed that Fatty Lu was shot and seriously injured, and it was Kang Mazi who believed in Han Daren's false surrender, and it was Kang Mazi who ordered the main force of the Qing army in northern Jiangxi to go west and north to fight the Wu army!

    Could it be that Hilgen really went and said to Kang Mazi, "Master, it's all because of your stupidity, your incompetence, and your ignorance of military command, which killed tens of thousands of our Qing army, and made our Qing  The good situation in the northern Jiangxi battlefield was ruined with one hand." Then something happened, and Hilgen and Zhangtai Beizi really couldn't imagine what to say.

    It was also because of Kang Mazi's pockmarked face that he had to take into account Kang Mazi's pockmarked face, so Hilgen stationed his troops on the sidelines for two days after the fiasco, intending to find the Wu army's flaws, and use the tens of thousands of troops who still had the strength to fight in their hands.  After Wu Jun's big victory, he got carried away with the opportunity and took advantage of a loophole to win a small battle to save Kang Mazi's face.  I never imagined that I would run into such an excellent enemy as Fatty Lu again. Not only did he not get carried away after the big victory, he didn't even plan to continue to expand the result of the victory.  Secretly calling it unlucky, he had no choice but to order the troops to retreat and defend the city.

    Originally, if it was replaced by a truly selfless general of the Qing army like Obai or Yue Le, perhaps he would have to bite the bullet and shoulder the responsibility for the disastrous defeat on his own, and blamed himself for all the crimes, but it is a pity  Yes, Hilgen is not as great as this.  So it was not until the first day of April that Xiergen and Zhangtai Beizi, who had reached a secret agreement in private, reported to the Qing court with 800 li in a hurry, and blamed all the blame for the fiasco in northern Jiangxi to the deputy general of Dingnan and the Ministry of Rites.  Shangshu Hargaqi insisted that Hargaqi credulously believed in Han Daren's false surrender, and tried his best to push the Qing army to cross the lake for a decisive battle, which led to the defeat of northern Jiangxi and the defeat of the whole army!

    Anyway, Halgaqi is a dead man and he can't speak anymore. He has taken the blame. Not only can Hilgen and Zhangtai Beizi's guilt be lightened, but Kang Mazi's face is also saved.  The guilt of Ergen and Zhangtai Beizi is naturally lighter.  So, Lord Hargaqiha, let me wrong you.

    At noon on the fifth day of April, after more than four days of fleeing for their lives in fear like a bereaved dog, the remaining 14,000 defeated Qing soldiers finally fled back to Anqing City, staying here.  Admiral Wang Yongyu personally led the generals out of the city, but at the welcoming ceremony, naturally, there was no joy, laughter and high spirits like seeing off the army that day, and it was full of downcast and frowning.  After carefully observing the situation of the defeated Qing army brought back by Hilgen, Niyahan asked Hilgen in a low voice: "General, we have an army of more than 40,000, and this is all we need? There is really no rear army behind us."  ?¡±

    Hilgen smiled wryly, and was really ashamed to answer Niyahan's question. Fortunately, Niyahan didn't pursue the question any further, but just comforted him: "Don't be discouraged, general. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Wait until our reinforcements arrive.  , reorganize the troops and horses, and fight Wu Gou at the foot of Anqing City before it's too late."

    "It's not too late to fight Wu Gou under the city of Anqing?" Hilgen was taken aback for a moment, and asked quickly, "What do you mean? Is there any movement from Wu Gou?"

    "I just received the urgent report from the scout clippers." Niyahan replied: "Just yesterday morning, Wugou's 40,000 troops crossed Poyang Lake, and Wugou's 6,000 sailors also mobilized.  An army of 46,000, claiming to be 300,000, was led by Wu Gou Lu Yifeng, a dog thief, with Wu Gou General Han Daren as the vanguard.  An Qing is coming!"

    "Little Lu Yifeng didn't go to fight Nanchang, but he came directly to Anqing?" Hilgen was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Did our military scouts see it with their own eyes, or was it rumored by the people? How dare Lu Yifeng's little boy be so bold, let him go!"  Don't care about Nanchang, just go straight to it.??" Hilgen asked tremblingly.

    "Back to the general, no." The messenger replied truthfully: "The warships we built before and the newly recruited sailors have all been sent to Anqing City. Now the warships in Jiangning City are either not completed, or  There is no navy, and the only 2,000 sailors have all gone to the mouth of the Yangtze River to guard against the sneak attack of Zheng Ni's navy in Taiwan, and there is no navy to escort the troop convoy."

    "Woo¡ª!" Hilgen stared round his cloudy old eyes, and hissed like a beast from his throat, almost fainting on the spot.  After finally swallowing the blood that had poured into his throat, Hilgen asked with trembling lips, "So, how many troops are there in our Jiangning City?"

    "Only eight thousand." The messenger replied, "but don't worry, old general, as long as you can defend Anqing City, Jiangning City will be able to sit back and relax. Also, the governor, Mr. A, has ordered that the Jiangning governor, Mu Tianyan, be killed first and then played."  Together with the magistrate Xie Dongxie, we will go all out to recruit troops, within a month, at least 25,000 new recruits must be recruited as a backup."

    "Ah¡ª¡ª¡ª!" Hilgen finally yelled hysterically, and then spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell on his back, fainted by Fatty Lu's shameless and despicable anger for the third time.

    "Old general, old general! Lang Zhong, quickly call Lang Zhong!" Everyone turned pale with fright, and rushed up to help Xiergen, pinching people and rubbing his chest. It took more than an hour,  After the doctor managed to wake up Xiergen with a silver needle, the first thing Xiergen did was to grab Niyahan's hand and faintly shouted, "Hurry up, hurry up, send out, send troops, send out  All armies."

    "Send troops?" Niyahan asked in surprise: "Old General, didn't you say that without your order, you are not allowed to send out a single soldier? Why is the whole army sent out again? Where are you going? What are you going to do?  "

    "Save" Hilgen didn't know that there was a force coming out of it, and he yelled frantically: "Save Jiangning City! Save Echu's troop fleet! Hurry up!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, blood gushed out of Xiergen's mouth, and he fell on the hospital bed again, but this time, the old fox of Xiergen, who was nearly seventy years old, never had a chance to wake up again.

    "There is only ten days of food and grass, and the weapons and ammunition are only enough to fight a big war." At the same time, on the official road leading to Nanjing City from Chizhou Mansion, Fatty Lu, who was lying on the spot, silently calculated the strength of his own army and its success or failure, muttering in his heart  Said: "Except for the 30 sub-cannons, the other artillery pieces are all on the navy ship, without any siege weapons. It is uncertain whether the navy can arrive on time or whether they can reach the battlefield smoothly.  City, Nanjing City, known as the first strong city in the south of the Yangtze River"

    "Hehe, it's all up to you. If you receive the favor of a drop of water, you should repay it with a spring¡ªBrother Xie, I saved your life, so you should repay me with the city of Nanjing?"

 Chapter 292 The key to success or failure

    ?

    "My lord governor, since April 12th, within three days, our Jiangning mansion has recruited 4,125 young men, and all of them have been registered and compiled into an army. Except  In addition, the 1,216 artisan workshops in Jiangning City have all been organized and mobilized to forge various weapons for our Qing army. Within one month, at least three sabers can be made for our Qing army.  Ten thousand handles, five thousand sharp sword handles, eighteen thousand spears, one hundred and fifty thousand arrows, three thousand pairs of plate armor, two thousand pairs of bows"

    Standing bowed in front of the governor of Liangjiang, Xie Xu, Xie Dong, the prefect of Jiangning, did not look at the official document in his hand, and recited a series of memorized numbers without blinking his eyelids, without pausing.  A Xixu nodded again and again, very satisfied with Xie Dong's work, and asked, "What about the horses? How many horses can you provide for our Qing army within a month?"

    "Back to Governor, right now Wu's traitors are in chaos, the horse roads are impassable, and the price of horses in Jiangning Mansion is soaring, and there are often prices but no market." Xie Dong finally showed some embarrassment on his handsome face, hesitated before saying: "  However, it was also the result of the emperor's blessing. The merchants of Fusang Kingdom heard that the price of horses in the south of the Yangtze River was soaring. The day before yesterday, they transported 800 high-quality war horses from the sea to Jiangnan for sale. They were all the best Kiso horses in Fusang Kingdom. This kind of war horse is strong.  , good at galloping and sprinting, and not easy to get sick, easy to adapt to the water and soil, but the price is a bit more expensive, a horse costs as much as fifty taels of silver."

    "As long as it is a good horse, no matter how expensive it is, you have to buy it!" Master Ashish waved his hand and said vigorously: "At present, our army is in short supply of horses, and we have bought all 800 of the best war horses."

    "Go back to Governor, I have already bought all of them." Xie Dong respectfully replied: "There are also 1,500 high-quality Japanese knives sold by this group of Fusang merchants, and I have also bought all of them, and they can be sent to Hong Kong at any time.  The front line was used for military use, and it was donated by the rich and powerful merchants in Jiangning, Leshu. This is the list of money and expenses. Please have a look at the governor. In addition, the humble official bought more than 600 horses of various colors from the people, and informed merchants from all over the place  With overseas merchants, let them transport more horses to Jiangning to sell, and the humble workers must buy them all at a high price."

    As he said that, Xie Dong held a list in front of A Xixu with both hands, and A Xixu took it and looked it over carefully, and couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, okay, Mr. Xie is indeed the one that Mu Zhongcheng strongly recommends to me.  As expected, you are a shrewd and capable official, capable of handling things, much better than Zhang Chaozhen, the useless chief minister! With you and Mu Zhongcheng helping me with my errands, I will be much more relaxed, work hard, and wait for me to participate in Zhang Chaozhen's memorial and criticism.  Come down, I will strongly recommend you to take over as Jiangsu chief envoy, officially replacing that useless Zhang Chaozhen!"

    "Thank you, Governor, for your cultivation!" Xie Dong quickly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, then took out a stack of banknotes from his bosom, and said flatteringly: "My lord, I heard that my lord is planning to send someone back to his hometown in Liaodong to renovate the ancestral grave next month  , It is very inconvenient to think about it at hand, this is a small meaning of a humble position, and I hope that the governor will not refuse."

    "Why are you here again? Last month, my unfilial son lost more than four thousand taels of silver in the casino, and you paid it back" Lord A Xixu showed a displeased look on his face, very  He said unhappily: "It's inconvenient for me to renovate the ancestral grave, but I'm as clean as water and as clean as a mirror, so how can I accept your money?"

    "Your Excellency, you must not say that. Isn't this killing the humble office?" Xie Dong said sincerely: "The humble office starts from the magistrate, and it can be promoted to six levels within seven years. It's not all thanks to the Governor.  Cultivation and promotion? There was a vacancy in the prefect of Jiangning last year. I don¡¯t know how many officials in the world are staring at it. If the humble position is not recommended by Meng Mufutai and promoted by the Governor, how can this position be considered a humble position? The Governor¡¯s kindness to the humble position, the humble position will be smashed to pieces  It's hard to be sure, a small gift is just a small gesture of humbleness, and I ask the governor to accept it."

    "I promoted you because you are shrewd and capable and effective, so I can serve the country as a worthy man" Mr. Ah snorted, looked at the thick bank note in Xie Dong's hand, and finally nodded and said  : "Well, let's not make an example." Xie Dong was overjoyed, kowtowed quickly to thank him, carefully placed the bank note on the coffee table beside A Xixu, and then left, leaving Master A Xixu in the living room happily  Count the banknotes.

    When leaving the governor's office, Xie Dong happened to meet Mu Tianyan, the governor of Jiangning, in front of the gate. After paying his respects, Mu Tianyan casually asked Xie Dong about his business affairs these days. When he learned that Xie Dong had formed a new army  After the progress went smoothly, Mu Tianyan was also very happy, praised Xie Dong a few words, and then explained: "I have been busy building ships and guns, preparing food, grass and military salaries, and I will leave all the recruiting of new troops to you. Take care."  Do it, Zhang Chaozhen, the chief minister who is not dealing with the governor, is definitely finished, and the job is done, and when the governor and I recommend you to be the chief minister in the court, we can speak louder."

    ? "Thanks to Mr. Taiwan for being humbled.He didn't have the courage to continue talking, and when he raised his head to look at Kang Mazi in fear, he found that Kang Mazi was already dumbfounded, and when he turned back to look at the two ministers of the Ministry of War, Mingzhu and Wang Xu, he found that they were also dumbfounded.  After a while, Kang Mazi asked tremblingly, "When did this Xie Dong become the magistrate of Jiangning? How come I don't remember it?"

    "Back to the master, the slave has no impression." Suo'etu replied tremblingly: "Historically, the selection of officials at the prefect level has always been selected by the Ministry of Officials unless there is a special purpose. Please ask Nanshufang for approval. Probably  Because this Xie Dong was too inconspicuous before, so the servant, didn't didn't notice, forgetforgot."

    "Bang!" Before he could say anything, the inkstone on Kang Mazi's pseudo-dragon case had already hit Suo'etu's head, causing Suo'etu's head to bleed and his face covered in ink.  Immediately afterwards, the ugly howl of despair like a wild beast echoed frantically in the Hall of Mental Cultivation

    "Hurry up! Eight hundred miles to rush to A Xixu, and immediately suspend Xie Dong, the magistrate of Jiangning! Removal! Take it down! Cut it off¡ª¡ª! Lu Yifeng, a thief! Xie Dong, a thief!

 Chapter 293

    "Report¡ª! General, twenty miles ahead is Wuhu County, Taiping Prefecture! Sun Zhaoyuan, the magistrate of Wuhu County, heard that our army arrived, and has closed the city! The vanguard, General Han Daren, asked for an order to bypass the city.  Or attack the city?"

    "Siege the city! After breaking the city, Sun Zhaoyuan's family will be executed! All officials in the city will be beheaded!"

    Fatty Lu issued another door-killing order coldly. After the soldiers galloped away, Fatty Lu looked back at the main cavalry force of the Fatty Army galloping behind him, gritted his teeth, and ordered: "Order all the troops to speed up,  After entering Wuhu City, rest again! Send an order to Wang Xu, he has no chance to rest, when the main force of our army arrives in Wuhu City, he will be the vanguard to attack Taiping Fucheng!"

    The order was conveyed, and the Wu army, which was basically exhausted, sped up the speed again, people stepped up, horses whipped up, and marched eastward along the Jiangnan official road non-stop, turning a blind eye to the farmland, fruit forests, villages and markets passing by along the way.  Just keep going east, east, and east again!  The Jiangnan people on both sides of the road looked at this white-capped soldier without braids in horror. There were some who ran away secretly, some who talked a lot, but none who dared to stop this army from advancing eastward.

    Of course, some people complained of suffering and tiredness, some were left behind, and some became deserters. Fatty Lu mercilessly massacred deserters and whipped the soldiers who fell behind, while telling the soldiers of the Wu army that we had no way out, and there were more than 100,000 full-dog troops.  They are chasing and intercepting us. We have a sworn feud with Man Gou. We have killed so many Man Gou in the southwest and north of Jiangxi. Even if they surrender, Man Gou will not let us go!  Falling behind is death, fleeing is death, resting in place is death, the only way to survive is to go east, to Nanjing City, and entering Nanjing City, not only can you survive, but you can also enjoy countless glory and wealth.

    Strict military discipline and good military quality have helped Fatty Lu a lot. This Wu army team, which has a majority of soldiers from Yunnan and Guizhou, has received the strictest military training from the old traitor Wu since joining the Wu army, and also received the strictest military discipline.  Constraints, after Fatty Lu took over the team, not only did he not relax the military discipline, but it became stricter, with heavy rewards and punishments, and clear rewards and punishments.  This Wu army team created a miracle. From April 12th to April 17th, from Chizhou to April 17th, the soldiers approached the city of Wuhu, 600 miles away, but there was not a single situation where the formation fell behind!

    When it was completely dark, the main force of the Wu army finally arrived in Wuhu City, and the vanguard of the Wu army led by Han Daren had already rushed into Wuhu County.  The imposing footsteps of Wu Jun.  The head of Sun Zhaoyuan, the unlucky county magistrate who dared to close the city and resist, and his whole family have already been hung on the gate tower, to warn those shameless traitors who still want to continue to be dogs for Mangou!  All the Qing officials, yamen servants, and town soldiers in the city were massacred by the Wu army. The corpses piled up under the city like a mountain, and their blood flowed like a river.

    "The main force enters the city, collects grain, grass, mules and horses, rests overnight, and sets out tomorrow!" Fatty Lu shouted and ordered, "Remember, only the grain and grass in the official warehouse are allowed, and the grain of ordinary people is not allowed to touch! Mules and horses borrowed from the common people  Donkeys, pigs and sheep, pay the price with military currency! Tell the people, let them take the military currency and exchange it for cash in Nanjing in a few days!"

    The so-called military currency is naturally a common IOU in our era. In view of the urgent need for mules, horses and donkeys to carry food and grass and ride the wounded soldiers, and also urgently need pigs, sheep, fish and cattle to supplement nutrition for the soldiers, there is not much cash in hand.  Fatty asked Wang Shaobo to carve seals out of radishes, found sheets of white paper to stamp, stamp and fill in numbers, and then stamped with Fatty Lu's private seal to become real gold and silver that can be circulated in the market¡ª¡ª  If the common people and merchants dare not accept it, it will be an unforgivable capital crime to destroy the financial market of the Great Zhou Army!  As for when to exchange it for cash, the soldiers of the Fatty Army of the Division of Benevolence and Righteousness also made it very clear, but it can be exchanged as soon as Wu Jun captures Nanjing!

    After closing the city gates, a team of night duty teams were arranged. The Wu army soldiers immediately lay down on the streets and alleys of Wuhu City, falling asleep before they even had time to eat. The night team patrolled and rushed to make dry food  , so that the next morning the soldiers will be full and continue on the road.  However, Wang Xu's team didn't even have a chance to rest, so they directly set fire to Taiping City, which was more than 40 miles away, attacking this Taiping Mansion City, which didn't even know how many defenders there were.  The main force opens the way.

    Fortunately, like the previous cities, Taipingfu City is still an empty city without regular army guards, and the magistrate of Taipingfu, Huang Guizi Hanzhu, is a Qing-Han army bannerman with his ancestral home in Liaodong.  He has been praised by the Qing court many times for his good governance, but he is a bannerman who loves his own life very much.  So when Wu Jun's vanguard soldiers descended from the sky, Huang Zhifu not only didn'thand.  "

    "That's good, be careful." Xie Dong said in a low voice: "Ah Xixu hasn't arranged for me to defend the city so far. He probably wants me to be in charge of logistics in the city. Your main force will arrive in a while. If  I was assigned to the city, and the rest is up to you."

    "My lord, please don't worry." Li Ya replied in a low voice: "Our people are all ready, and we can act immediately when the main force arrives."

    Xie Dong nodded, and when he was about to leave, a messenger came rushing over and said to Xie Dong, "Master Xie, please go to the tower of Jubao Gate immediately, the Governor-General is going to hold a city defense meeting."

    "Okay, I'll go right away." Xie Dong nodded in agreement.

    "Master Xie, the Governor-General has made a special request that your fellow countryman, Li Ya, the new chief executive, also go with you." The orderly added.

    "I?" Li Ya was taken aback, and when he and Xie Dong looked at each other, they both saw the look of horror in each other's eyes, and then a thought arose in their hearts, "Could it be that this matter is going to fail?  ?¡± (To be continued.

    If the forward of the fat army led by Gao Dejie happens to be under the gate of Shicheng, then good friends Li Ya and Xie Dong will definitely open the gate at all costs and make a complete bet, life or death!  But it is a pity that the vanguard cavalry of the fat army led by Gao Dejie, after arriving at Jubao Gate, headed from south to east to Chaoyang Gate at the easternmost end of Nanjing. It is dozens of miles away from Shicheng Gate ¡ª¡ªLi Ya  He and Xie Dong would open the city gates, not only would they not be able to welcome the Fatty Army into the city, but their lives would also be lost immediately.

    So there was no other way, Li Ya and Xie Dong had no choice but to explain in a low voice to the Liu family brothers who had sneaked into Nanjing City together, and made them prepare for the fact that they would never come back, and then Li Ya and Xie Dong  The unlucky pair of brothers and sisters bit their bullets, and with the determination that the wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return, he resolutely embarked on the road of rushing to the Jubaomen tower to die.

    In the meantime, Li Ya also took the opportunity to confess to Xie Dong in a low voice: "My lord, if the identity of the villain is exposed, you can insist that you don't know much about the villain, it's just a fellowship, maybe Mangou won't treat you  Kill me."

    Xie Dong smiled wryly and nodded, without speaking, he muttered in his heart: "The only person who can expose your identity is Mu Futai. If Mu Futai, who knows my details, is determined to expose you, can I escape?"

    "Also, my lord." Li Ya was still loyal enough, and warned: "If the villain's identity is exposed, and then the villain grabs the fire, or the villain rushes to the fire, then you will lie on the ground immediately!  Don't stand up, remember! Don't stand up!"

    "What do you mean?" Xie Dong was a little at a loss, but Li Ya didn't explain anymore. He just urged Xie Dong to leave quickly with a serious expression, don't make Man Gou more suspicious, and don't forget his advice.

    In fear, Xie Dong, Li Ya and the others had already arrived under the heavily guarded Jubaomen tower. They saw a large group of Qing soldiers standing proudly in front of the tower and on both sides of the road, and the mountains of knives and guns in their hands. Don¡¯t say anything.  Mr. Xie Dong, who has never been on the battlefield, even Li Ya, who has climbed out of the dead many times, has weak legs. This place is surrounded by thousands of enemy troops. Once his identity is exposed, Li Ya  No matter how rich your battlefield experience is, no matter how many times you have gone through the test of life and death, nothing can escape.

    "It's amazing to fight with Man Gou. Killing one is enough money, killing a pair to earn one!" Gritting his teeth, and gently touching the shoulder knife on his waist, Li Ya quietly winked at Xie Dong, and strode forward with Xie Dong.  Going upstairs, I never thought that just as I took a step, a Qing army soldier stretched out his hand beside him, saying: "The governor has an order that no one is allowed to carry weapons upstairs. General, please hand over the waist knife to the villain for safekeeping."

    The expressions of Li Ya and Xie Dong changed slightly again, and they looked around secretly. Li Ya finally took off the shoulder knife and handed it to the Qing soldier¡ªthere were hundreds of Qing soldiers staring at him.  If you move around, you will immediately end up dismembering your body with knives.  But after Li Ya handed over the shoulder knife, two more soldiers from the Qing army came up and searched Xie Dong and Li Ya respectively. As a result, the civilian official Xie Dong naturally did not find any weapons, but inside Li Ya's coat, the  The Qing army found something wrong

    "General, there seems to be something wrong!" The searched soldier exclaimed, and before he could finish his sentence, dozens of Qing soldiers next to him immediately unsheathed their steel knives, choking and choking, and Xie Dong was almost scared again.  Peed in the crotch.  Then, the captain of the Qing army's guard officer shouted at Li Ya again: "Take off your armor!"

    Li Ya didn't say a word, he untied the plate armor and took it off, revealing the coat on his upper body. As expected, Li Ya's upper body was wearing an underwear similar to a vest, but this vest was strange because it looked like a sandbag for training and running.  , bulging, with things inside.  The Qing army guard pinched a few times, and found that the underwear was filled with sand and soil, and it was packed extremely tightly. He couldn't help wondering: "Why are you wearing sandbags on your body?"

    "General, you must have never killed Wu Gou on the battlefield, have you?" Li Ya asked back.

    "Why are you asking this?" the captain of the guard who had never been on a battlefield asked suspiciously.

    "General, if you have been on the battlefield, you will know the usefulness of wearing this kind of sandbag on your body." Li Ya bragged casually, pointing to his chest and said: "I was shot by Wu Gou in the chest, and I was also shot in the stomach."  If I hadn¡¯t worn such a sandbag on my body, I would not be able to live now. During the battle of defending the city, guns and arrows flew on the city wall, and I might be shot at any time. General, if you want to live a long life  One point, it¡¯s best not to be afraid of heavy weights, in addition to wearing armor or a coat, it¡¯s best to wear such a sandbag inside, it can save your life at a critical moment!¡±

    "So that's how it is." The guard officer suddenly realized.  At this time, a voice suddenly came from the tower, and said with a smile: "Have you seen it? What is the old fried dough stick who has survived a hundred battles, and what is Lao Qiuba? Learn from it, don't think it?He chopped down with a knife, and the rest didn't dare to hesitate, and they all knelt down quickly.

    "Get out of the way, please enter the city!" Xie Dong yelled again, the Qing soldiers who guarded the gate hurriedly retreated to both sides of the road and knelt down, while Wu Jun's cavalry galloped into the city from their sides, flying past the first place.  The first city gate, the second city gate and the third city gate.  And when the first team of Wu army cavalry finally rushed into the third city gate, cheers resounded in and out of the city, "Long live the Great Zhou! Anti-Qing and Fuming! Kill!"

    Amid the thunderous cheers, the generals of the Wu army cheered the slogan of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The tide flooded into the city of Nanjing, rushed through the three city gates, entered the main street, and killed the Qing army on the city wall of the stone city gate and inside the city wall.  The screams and exclamations of the recruits were endless, and the sound of recruiting and yelling to kill never stopped.  But Xie Dong didn't realize it, he just stood by the road blankly, he didn't hear the shouts and screams around him, and he turned a blind eye to the Wu army soldiers pouring into the city like a tide, as if he had already  The old monk seemed to be in sedation, and the past was like a phantom, constantly flashing before Xie Dong's eyes.

    Suddenly, Xie Dong suddenly found a group of people walking in front of him. When he fixed his eyes and took a closer look, in the light of the torch, Fatty Lu's familiar but unfamiliar fat face had also appeared in front of Xie Dong.  After staring at each other face to face for a long time, Fatty Lu suddenly showed a friendly smile on his fat face that had obviously lost a lot of weight. He cupped his hands and bowed deeply to Xie Dong, and said softly, "Brother Xie, I'm sorry."

    Xie Dong threw away the sword, knelt down on one knee to Fatty Lu, clasped his fists in salute, his mouth hadn't opened yet, tears were already rolling down, and he choked up after a while and said: "Your benefactor, you are welcome, Xie once promised to benefactor back then,  If your benefactor has a mission, Xie Dong will go through fire and water, and he will not hesitate to do it¡ªtoday, Xie Dong is fortunate to not break his promise."

    "Brother Xie, if you keep your word and speak like a mountain, you are a real gentleman." Fatty Lu also burst into tears, holding Xie Dong up with both hands, and a pair of friends who had only met once looked at each other again, bursting into tears together.

    Six years ago, they met.

    Six years ago, they hated each other.

    Six years ago, he saved him.

    Six years later, he paid him back.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.) (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com

    "General Gao Dejie, your 5,000 main cavalry, go and fight for me at the Jubao Gate and Tongji Gate. Those who surrender will not die! Those who resist will be killed! Those who flee will not be chased!"

    "An Jiarong, bring your 800 soldiers with you, and please thank your lord's servants to lead the way, and fight along the city wall to Jubaomen! Kill the enemy when you see them! Do not pursue the fugitives!"

    On the tower of Shichengmen, he gave a series of orders in one breath, and the exhausted Fatty Lu sat back on the chair. Looking at the brightly lit night scene of Nanjing full of killing noises, Fatty Lu completely forgot the hardship and exhaustion of running thousands of miles for seven days.  , a pair of bloodshot mung bean eyes are also wide open, and a pair of fat hands are desperately grasping the armrests on both sides of the seat.  He muttered, "The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the fortified city of Nanjing, the largest city in the south of this era, you will finally belong to me! Finally, you will belong to me!"

    Biting his lips tightly to prevent himself from yelling excitedly for a long time, Fatty Lu suddenly remembered something again, jumped up and shouted: "Order to all the troops, after entering the city, you are not allowed to loot the people's businesses, let alone rape and plunder! Tell the soldiers  Ladies and gentlemen, the contribution this time is extremely great, every soldier has at least twenty taels of silver as a reward, women will have plenty of silver in the future, but they are not allowed to take it now, let me firmly control Nanjing City first!"

    "Twenty taels per person?" Xiao Erlang, who was born in a country bumpkin, was taken aback and exclaimed, "Master, where did we get so much silver? Each person is missing twenty taels of silver, and fifty thousand people are worth it."  Millions of taels of silver!"

    "General Xiao, please rest assured that this amount of money is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for Jiangning City." Xie Dong said calmly: "The lower officials can guarantee it, and it does not count as private silver, vassal treasury and treasury  Silver, just by copying the homes of the governors of Liangjiang, Jiangning Salt Road, Jiangnan Liangdao, and Jiangning Weaving, you can definitely get this amount of money! And there will be more, not less!"

    "Really?" Xiao Erlang asked dumbfounded.

    "Of course, I have been an official in Jiangning for nearly two years, and I have already figured out their details." Xie Dong smiled, and said: "The army of the three good brothers came so fast, they are not at all.  It¡¯s too late to transfer the family property, so all the people¡¯s fat and people¡¯s anointing that they looted from the people must still be hidden in their homes!¡±

    "Wow!" Xiao Erlang cheered, grabbing Fatty Lu's fat arm and shaking it again and again, his eyes glowing green, he shouted, "Master, we have made it! We have finally developed! This time, we are the  Into the silver den!"

    "After so many years of suffering by my side, should you feel it's worth it now?" Fatty Lu patted the top of Xiao Erlang's head, smiled, and then said with a straight face: "You bumpkin, be happy and wait later! Go pass the order first  , we must convey the order to every soldier, if we lose the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, see how I will deal with you!"

    "Decree!" Xiao Erlang jumped up and puffed up his chest to agree, and then rushed down to deliver the order, still chanting excitedly, "Sent! Sent! Sent this time! I have been with the young master for so many years, and I finally got through it!"  It¡¯s the end of all hardships! Haha!"

    "Bump!" Fatty Lu cursed again, but there was a flash of sigh in his eyes that he couldn't say anything, and he murmured in his heart: "But this little bumpkin is right, it's hard work, from now on.  From now on, I will no longer have to be a man with my tail between my legs, no one will tell me what to do, and I will no longer have to worry about this or that."

    He has just entered Nanjing City, and has not completely wiped out the defenders and occupied the city, but he has already become so complacent. Maybe Lu Fatty really has the potential of Hong Xiuquan or Li Zicheng-but he can't stand Lu Fatty. Luckily, when Xie Dong opened the stone city gate  After the news of welcoming the fat man's army into the city reached Jubaomen, the governor of Liangjiang, Mr. Ashisha, and the deputy governor of Jiangnan, General Hale Haqiha, were dumbfounded at first, and finally came back to their senses. Mr. A and General Ha first yelled at Xie Dong  Eighteen generations of ancestors, and immediatelyWhether you buy the raw materials you have hoarded, or disguise yourself as civilians and sneak into the firearms battalion, you can easily find out what you used to prepare the new gunpowder, and it is easy to get a few samples.  So Emperor Mangou ordered us to hoard these materials in large quantities in Jiangning City, and asked for as many as possible. While letting the craftsmen explore the preparation, they tried every means to spy on the preparation process of your new gunpowder. As long as the craft is in hand, it can be prepared immediately.  A large amount of new gunpowder was produced.  "

    "Then how did you get so much? Isn't it too exaggerated?" Fatty Lu continued to ask dumbfounded.

    "As long as you have money, manpower and material resources, these things are not difficult to get at all." Mu Tianyan said with a smile: "For example, gallstones are everywhere in the Tongling Mansion in the upper reaches of Nanjing. Usually no one wants them.  Copper mines are everywhere. A false decree by Emperor Kangxi allowed the copper mines in Tongling to be exploited in large quantities, and within half a year, hundreds of thousands of catties could be obtained. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the warehouses couldn¡¯t hold them all, and they never knew what to do with the copper mines.  With gunpowder, the quantity must be more than now."

    Fatty Lu was even more stunned. He patted the table after a while, and sighed sincerely: "Kang Mazi, you are a good man!"  , your support is my greatest motivation.) (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com

    "Fire! Hit!"

    The flag was waved, and nearly two hundred artillery pieces, including the light and heavy artillery seized from the Qing army warships in the decisive battle of the Wu army's naval division in northern Jiangxi, roared together. Amidst the roar of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, rows of shells came out of their chambers  , roaring towards the Hongwu Gate of the Forbidden City in Nanjing, which was once the Ming Dynasty, and also the main gate of the current Jiangning Mite City.

    Immediately afterwards, earth-shattering explosions rang out from the upper and lower walls of the main gate of Mite City. The bannermen defending the city wall and the Mite people who helped fight in the upper city were splashed with blood and flesh, crying and screaming and running to avoid the bombs, but Wu Jun's blossoming  Can shells be avoided by running for their lives?  When a shell explodes, at least dozens of pieces of shrapnel can be splashed and shot in all directions. There is nowhere to hide within a radius of two feet. They are either killed by the bomb or shot to death by the shrapnel.  There is already a river of blood flowing above, and corpses are strewn all over the ground.  But Wu Jun's artillery team did not give in, and just continued to bombard, pouring artillery fire at the city wall of Mite City, as if they wanted to use artillery to blow down this extremely strong city wall.

    In the face of such fierce artillery fire, even the main force of the Qing army in Wuchang could not bear it, let alone the mite city flag soldiers who had not fought for more than 20 years and the mite people who seldom even touched the handle of their knives.  , under the cover of this devastating artillery fire, flesh and blood splattered, crying and shaking the sky, with no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the ground, so they could only run around like headless flies, avoiding and fleeing for their lives, and countless flag soldiers and mite people fell in panic.  When they fell down the city wall, their muscles and bones were broken and their seven orifices bleed, while more banner soldiers and banner people were smashed to pieces in the artillery fire, leaving no corpses.

    If it was replaced by other cities, covered by the artillery of the fat army, the people in the city who helped the battle would have run away long ago, but still the same sentence, the blood debt owed by the mite people in Jiangnan is too much, how many  To the point where the mite people themselves understand that the Han people in the south of the Yangtze River will never forgive themselves.  So no matter how fierce the fat army's artillery is, the hope of the little mite city holding on for a long time is so slim. Nearly two thousand bannermen defending the city are still struggling to support the city wall, and the more than 10,000 mite people in the mite city have no  One escaped, struggling with the defenders in the artillery fire, swearing to the death, dreaming of defending Mite City until the Qing army came to rescue them, and rescued them from the sea of ??suffering.

    Some friends must ask, didn¡¯t Fatty Lu say before that as long as the mite people escape from Nanjing, they will not chase or kill them? Now that the Chaoyang Gate leading to the outside of Nanjing¡¯s mite city is still in the hands of the banner soldiers, why doesn¡¯t the mite city guard  Organize soldiers and civilians to break out of the city?  But the question is, does Raha, the deputy commander of the garrison left wing in Nanjing Mite City, have the guts to do this?  Once away from the protection of the fortified Mite City, if the Fatty Army pursues and kills them with all their strength, how many of the more than 10,000 Mite soldiers and civilians in the Mite City can escape in the wild?  So there is no way, even though the hope of standing firm and waiting for help is extremely slim, Raha can only lead the soldiers and civilians in the city to take a gamble, hoping for a miracle, and refuse to leave the city to break out of the siege.

    The fierce artillery bombardment took more than half an hour before it stopped. Seeing that the sound of the artillery stopped, Raha, who was lying on the dead corner of the arrow stack to avoid the artillery, first spit out the sand in his mouth, and then shouted in a hoarse voice: "Han dog artillery stopped!"  Now, the city must be attacked again, get ready, get ready, let the people and soldiers below the city wall come up!"

    After the order was conveyed, the flag soldiers and mite men who fled down the city wall to avoid the artillery rushed to the already bloody city wall. While removing the corpses blocking the way, they rearranged the weapons for defending the city, preparing for the upcoming siege battle of the Fatty Army.  But at this moment, Hallehazi, the vice-commander of the Jiangnan army of the Qing army who had fled to Mite City, suddenly yelled, "General Raha, look quickly, the situation is not right. Someone from the Hangou side came over with a white flag, it seems  It's about negotiating!"

    Raha wiped off the dirt and gravel from his eyebrows, and when he took a closer look, he saw that there was indeed one person in Wu Jun's team.  Bai Qi really looked like he wanted to negotiate under the city wall.  Raha suddenly shouted: "Bows and arrows are ready, shoot the Han Dog's emissary to death! We have a blood feud with the Han Dog, and we must not surrender to them!"

    "Strike!" Amidst the neat promises, dozens of bows and arrows were drawn, and the shining arrows were aimed at the fat man's army.  But at this moment, Halehazi screamed again, "General Laha, wait a minute, listen, he shouted in Manchu, he seems to be our Manchurian!"

    "Manchurians, how is it possible?" Raha was taken aback, thinking that there were also Manchurians in Wugou's army, and we were also appointed as lieutenants. How is this possible?  But when he listened carefully, Laha was even more surprised to find that the fat man's envoy was indeed shouting in Manchu, and he directly showed his identity, "Don't shoot the arrow! I'm from Manchuria! My name is Yierjueluo  Yitanbu, like you, is a Manchurian!"

    "It's really us Manchurians!" Raha was even more shocked, and quickly waved and shouted: "Put down the arrow and let him come over!"

    &nbspMan, the Lu Yifeng dog thief will really let us go.  "

    "After leaving, how do you explain to the court?" Raha asked with a sneer, "Have you forgotten, what is the last name of our master Long Live?"

    Hale Haqi didn't dare to speak anymore, and closed his mouth completely. Raha sighed again, and murmured: "Let's keep on guard, the inner city is so strong, it's not so easy for Wu Gou to break through, and it really can't be defended.  Let¡¯s break through Chaoyangmen, and keep as much as you can. Anyway, I didn¡¯t lose Jiangning City, as long as I can go back alive, the master will not do anything to me.¡±

    Raha's unintentional murmurs immediately reminded Hallehazi, causing Hallehazi's heart to jump wildly, "Wait, Jiangning City was lost in the hands of Lao Tzu and Ashish, now Ashish  My whereabouts are unknown, even if I managed to escape from Jiangning City, my master will spare me when I return to the capital? Anyway, my surname is Guerjia, so why not surrender to Lu Yifeng's gangster Kaicheng, save his family and life, like Yi Tan  Bu got promoted and made a fortune like that?"

    "General Ha, the time is almost up, go down and avoid the artillery fire." Seeing that the time stipulated by the Fatty Army is approaching, Raha sighed again to remind Halle Haqi, and took the lead to stride down the stairs, while Halle Haqi's heart was beating wildly  , followed Raha quietly with his hand on the handle of the knife. When he walked down the city wall and Raha and Hallehazi's personal soldiers came to follow him, Hallehazi didn't know where a burst of courage came from.  Pulling out the waist knife, swinging both hands, he slashed fiercely at the back of Raha's neck. Raha's back was facing Halehaqi and he couldn't avoid it. As soon as he heard the wind in his ears, his head was already separated.

    "Protect me." After cutting down Raha, Halehazi rushed back to his own soldiers before the panicked Raha's soldiers reacted, and shouted at the team not far away:  "Brothers from the Guerjia family and the Yehenala family, all come to protect me. I have already killed Raha. Come and surrender with me, and invite the Zhou army to enter the city!"

    "Protect our General Guarja!" The soldiers and civilians of the two surnames Guarja and Yehenala, who were quietly discussing how to surrender, immediately rushed up to escort Hallehaqi to the lower city and open the gate.  There was a sudden chaos, and the four members of the evil slave family howled in despair and rushed towards the Harlehazi team, while the mite people with other surnames fought on their own, either shouting to open the city to surrender, or shouting to kill the traitors  , completely confused.

    With such chaos in the city, it is naturally impossible to escape the eyes of the generals of the Wu army. The only thing that is strange is why Fatty Lu's trick took effect so quickly¡ªincluding Fatty Lu himself.  However, Li Guodong and Han Daren did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the bombardment of the city to further expand the chaos in the city, and at the same time, all the siege teams were ready to charge.  Amidst the sound of rumbling artillery fire, the Hongwu Gate, the main gate of Mite City, which had been closed for a long time, finally opened, and all the soldiers of the Wu army shouted in unison, rushing up like a tide.

    "Surrender without killing! Surrender without killing!"

    "Mr. Zhou, I am a Manchurian with the surname Guerjia. I surrender! I surrender!"

    "Master Zhou, I am a Manchurian from Yehenala's family. Our Yehenala family and Aixinjueluo's family are rivals. Tong Jia's and Niu Gulu's gang of bastards ran to Chaoyangmen  Hurry up! I'll show you the way¡ª¡ª!"

    "Master, there is a bastard from the Hesheli family here, come and kill him!"

    In the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, on April 20th in the thirteenth year of Qingkang Mazi, the dying city of Nanjing was destroyed without a fight in the civil strife, and the Wu army, which was sure to win, took the city at a very small cost and completely captured the whole city of Nanjing.  .  Afterwards, under the order of Fatty Lu and under the guidance of the mite people in the city, the generals of the Wu army slaughtered all the mite people with the four surnames Aixinjueluo, Tong Jia, Niu Colu, and Hesheli in the city!  The notorious Four Killing Order of the Fat Man Army also spread throughout the world, breaking the courage of the people all over the world, separating the hearts of people of different surnames, and completely shaking the ruling foundation of the Qing Dynasty.

    At the same time, Fatty Lu's four-kill order also opened up a way of thinking for the anti-Qing rebels all over the world. Anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty will expel the Tartars and kill the mite people all over the world, which will make the mite people all over the world unite and fight to the death  , but if we don¡¯t kill the mites, we can¡¯t achieve the ultimate goal of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, rejuvenating the Han Dynasty and destroying the Manchus. It¡¯s a dilemma and contradicts itself.

    Since it is a dilemma and self-contradictory, why can it be like Lu Fatty, divide and divide the mite people, kill some and keep the other, which can not only disintegrate the enemy's fighting spirit and reduce resistance, but also achieve the goal of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty and expelling the Tartars  Purpose?  So soon, the rebels from all walks of life followed suit and issued their own four-kill order, five-kill order or seven-kill order.  But no matter how many killing orders it is, the four major families of Mi Qing who were listed as the four killings by Fatty Lu have completely become rats crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats them!  The same is true among mite people.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

    ?

    The news that Fatty Lu rushed thousands of miles to Nanjing City, and successfully occupied Nanjing City with the cooperation of Nei Ying, spread and shocked the land of China almost at the speed of flying!  Wherever the news went, everyone in the world was shocked. Fatty Lu, who was already notorious, suddenly pushed his reputation to the highest point, far surpassing ordinary governors and famous generals.  Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing, the four big thieves, even surpassed Fatty Lu's direct relative, the father-in-law, Shang Kexi Shang, the old traitor!  ¡ª¡ª Ordinary people who have no information may not know that there is no rebellious Shang Kexi Shang old traitor, but it is impossible not to know that the Qing Dynasty, which captured one of the two capitals in the north and south of the world, harmed Fatty Lu!

    The shock of the world is accompanied by the shock of the world, especially the anti-Qing righteous fighters who cherish the former Ming Dynasty. They also suddenly discovered that among the anti-Qing rebels all over the world, there is actually such a brave and resourceful leader of the rebel army as Fatty Lu, who has a clean background.  Neither did he open the Shanhai Pass to bring the Qing army in like Wu Sangui, an old traitor like Wu Sangui, nor was he so traitorous as Shang Kexi, an old traitor who didn¡¯t even want his pants.  Compared with Zheng Jing, who resolutely resisted the Qing Dynasty but settled on the isolated island of Taiwan, Fatty Lu had a lot more courage and strategy. He made a surprise attack on Nanjing City, the land where the Ming Dynasty flourished, and once again planted the Ming Dynasty flag here after 28 years.  The head of the thousand-year-old capital!  If you support such a person to lead the anti-Qing and restore the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be far better than the old traitor Wu, Geng Jingzhong, and Zheng Jing who are currently playing the banner of anti-Qing?

    It is also because of this, and because Jiangnan is the place where the anti-Qing and Ming-dynasty warriors came forth in large numbers, so when the news of Lu Fatty's capture of Nanjing spread, there were countless people cheering from all over Jiangnan, and there were crying tears everywhere, discussing in secret.  There are also quite a few anti-Qing righteous fighters who joined the fat man's army or directly responded to the fat man.  And when Fatty Lu posted a recruitment list to gather talents, these anti-Qing righteous men and all kinds of civil and military talents immediately flooded into Nanjing City like a tide, and rushed in front of Fatty Lu, including Huang Zongxi, Wang Fuzhi, etc.  , Zhu Shunshui, Zhu Da, Huang Luzhuang, and Gu Yanwu, who is currently living in his nephew's home in Beijing, are already very excited, trying to find out about Lu Fatty's aspirations and policies, and to determine whether Lu Fatty is his ideal anti-Qing leader  Candidates.

    Of course, the most violent reaction was the anti-Qing forces that have raised their troops. When the news reached the Zhejiang battlefield, Geng Jingzhong¡¯s army, which had gradually turned defensive due to lack of stamina, immediately rushed to Jinhua, Jinhua, etc. like chicken blood.  Ningbo and Shaoxing launched a fierce attack in an attempt to open up a land connection with Fatty Lu and enter the cornucopia of the south of the Yangtze River to make a fortune and enjoy it.  At the same time, Zeng Yangxing, the commander of the Geng Army's Northern Expedition Army, also sent secret envoys to the north, in a whimsical attempt to instigate Fatty Lu's main force to go south, and joined forces with himself to attack the Qing army in Zhejiang, completely drove the Qing army out of Zhejiang, and completely opened up the land passage between the Geng army and the Fatty army.

    There is also Zheng Jing from Taiwan. After receiving the news, Zheng Jing also jumped three feet high as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. While laughing wildly, God bless Ming Dynasty, while sending people to contact Fatty Lu to congratulate him, he also instructed Zheng Jun to go to the coast of Zhejiang frequently.  Attack, ready to break through the sea blockade of the Zhejiang Qing Army Navy, get in touch with the Fatty Army by sea, and gain a foothold in the rich and prosperous Jiangnan.

    Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing had a bloodbath. Li Zhifang, Governor of Qing Dynasty, and General Laita of Pingnan, who are currently in charge of the war in Zhejiang, vomited blood. Although the Qing army in Zhejiang relied on Suzhou and Hangzhou for a while, they had no worries about food and wages, but on the other side were the states in the south of the Yangtze River.  The various governments urgently asked for troops for help. On the one hand, Niyahan sent a letter requesting a joint counterattack against Nanjing;  The front line battlefield is in a hurry everywhere, how can the 70,000 to 80,000 troops in the hands of Li Zhifang and Laita be enough?

    In desperation, Li Zhifang and Laita had no choice but to do their jobs well, block Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing with all their strength, and at the same time rush to Kang Mazi with 800 miles, and also asked Kang Mazi to show me what the Qing army in Zhejiang should do  manage?  Should we temporarily abandon Zhejiang and return to Jiangsu to join forces with Niyahan and Jieshu to attack Nanjing?  Or should we temporarily abandon Jiangsu and try our best to block Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing from joining forces?

    Compared with Kang Mazi, no matter how much Li Zhifang and Laita vomited blood, they were actually very lucky. When Jinzhen, the prefect of Yangzhou, and Gao Degui, the prefect of Zhenjiang, used 800 miles to send the news of Lu Fatty's capture of Nanjing.  When we arrived in the capital, the price of grain in Beijing immediately tripled¡ªeveryone of the common people in the capital, who depended entirely on grain for their livelihood, was afraid that Fatty Lu would cut off the grain roads, so they all rushed to buy grain and store it, frying the grain.  It's so high.  After reading the emergency memorial, Kang Mazi cried out on the spot, although he was mentally prepared and did not vomit blood and pass out, "The Qing Dynasty is in dire straits."

    In the next few days, emergency memorials came like snowflakes again, and state officials from all over the south of the Yangtze River reported that their localities were in danger, and they all asked Kang Mazi for help, because they were afraid of revenge from the Han people who abandoned their officials and fled.The invincible army of ??!  "

    "Really?" Kang Mazi mobilized his heart, and couldn't help muttering: "If Lu Yifeng's bastard is really willing to turn to the light and serve me, I would be willing to give him a prince."

    "Master, you should give it a try." Zhang Ying said in a deep voice: "There are three reasons, one is that the imperial court can't come up with soldiers and horses to restore Jiangnan, the other is that even if the surrender fails, it can make the old thief Wu Sangui even more suspicious of Lu Yifeng, and the third is to appease Lu Yifeng.  Once successful, the benefits are endless.¡±

    "At the same time, we can hurry up and prepare for the war." Suo'etu added: "Master Pan of the Ministry of War wrote a letter last month, suggesting that the master allow the local gentry to organize a regiment to fight against the bandits, and the master has already approved it. Now that the matter is over, the master can try to recruit  Lu Yifeng, while buying time, let the local gentry loyal to the Qing organize a regiment and work together to suppress the thieves."

    Kang Mazi was silent. After thinking for a long time, Kang Mazi gritted his teeth and said, "Let's give it a try. As long as Lu Yifeng is willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, and come back anyway, I will make him the Prince of Zhennan and set up a vassal in Jiangxi! Also,  Not only did I let Shang Kexi return his first wife, Shang Wanyi, but also my younger sister and Princess Shuoduanmin, so I can marry him too!"

    "Master Shengming." Suo'etu kowtowed together with Mingzhu and the others, and said in unison: "Master is like the grace of heaven. Lu Yifeng must be very grateful when he hears about it, and he will return anyway."

    "I hope so." Kang Mazi sighed again, and asked again: "Then, who do you think I should send to recruit Lu Yifeng?"

    "If I raise one person, I will surely succeed." Mingzhu and Suo'etu said in unison: "This person has a life-and-death relationship with Lu Yifeng. If you send him south, you will definitely succeed"

    "Needless to say, I know who you are talking about." Kang Mazi interrupted with a wave of his hand, and said weakly: "He is indeed the most ideal candidate, he is loyal to me, and has a deep friendship with Lu Yifeng's bastard, so send him to  , I should be able to grasp a little more.¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 298 Fatty Needs Time

    ?

    (ps: ask for a monthly pass and subscription, friends' subscription support is the driving force for Pure Wolf's efforts.)

    Let's go back and see Fatty Lu's appearance as a villain. On the second day after officially occupying Nanjing City, Fatty Lu started the army expansion operation while resting the exhausted Fatty Army, desperately expanding his own army.  Strength, ready to annex Jiangnan completely.  Fortunately, Nanjing City is not only the largest granary and bank in the south of the Yangtze River, but also the city with the largest population and the most abundant manpower in the south of the Yangtze River. With the help of two big bosses, Xie Dong and Mu Tianyan, the recruiting of the Fatty Army has been carried out.  It went very smoothly. In less than three days, 3,000 new recruits were easily recruited. Coupled with the soldiers brought by Xie Dong and Mu Tianyan, the number of fat men quickly exceeded 50,000, reaching a total of more than 53,000  people.

    On April 22, the morning of the third day of occupying Nanjing, Fatty Lu couldn't wait to lead the soldiers of the three armies to worship in front of Ming Xiaoling Tomb and Zhu Yuanzhang's Mausoleum, in order to win the hearts of the Han people all over the world.  During the worship, Fatty Lu, the former movie star of the Qing Dynasty, wore a square scarf, held a libation, and cried three times. He cried until the sky was dark, the mountains and rivers changed color, and he fell to the ground.  The wailing shook the sky, but the Han people who were watching were unaware, and were greatly moved, and couldn't help crying!  Fatty Lu's feelings are so sincere and meaningful that even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was lying in the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, was so moved that he couldn't help asking Empress Ma next to him¡ªour old Zhu family has a branch named Lu in Dali  Descendants?

    On the morning of the same day, the two generals Wang Xu and Li Jiyang who were stationed at Taiping Mansion sent an urgent report that the 20,000 Anqing Qing troops led by Niyahan had already arrived at the city of Taiping Mansion yesterday, and both the water and land battalions were stationed at Dongliang Mountain, but they did not launch an attack immediately.  City¡ªObviously, news of the fall of Nanjing has reached Niyahan's army, so Niyahan is already weighing up what will happen if he uses his weak force to forcibly attack Nanjing City, which has 50,000 defenders  as a result of?  Don't throw the meager capital in your hand into the Yangtze River if you can't take back the city of Nanjing.

    "Uncle Shao, use the fastest horse to reply to Wang Xu and Li Jiyang." Fatty Lu, whose mung bean eyes were crying into two rotten apricots, thought for a while, and immediately ordered in a hoarse voice: "Three orders, one, only to defend the city  , are not allowed to fight, and within a few days, Mangou will retreat. Second, pay attention to protecting the alum mine in Taiping Prefecture. Alum is also a raw material for making sulfuric acid. The more the better for us. Third, send skilled miners to find iron  Mine, according to my research, there must be a huge iron mine near Ma'anshan in Taiping Prefecture, if you can find it, it will be of great use!"

    "Of order." Wang Shaobo agreed immediately, and then asked in a low voice: "Boss, do you think Man Gou will retreat without fighting? Is there really no need to send reinforcements to Taiping Mansion?"

    "Of course." Fatty Lu replied confidently: "Niyahan's troops are not enough to counterattack Nanjing City, even if he storms the Taiping Mansion, it will not be of much use.  Our second prince is definitely going to copy Niyahan¡¯s old nest, Anqing City, and Niyahan will definitely settle this account.¡± Wang Shaobo stopped asking, and hurried down to write a letter, asking Fatty Lu to sign and seal it, and then send it with a fast horse.  To Taipingfu.

    In the next two days, Fatty Lu has been busy rectifying government and military affairs, appeasing the people of Nanjing, organizing people in the city to cut their braids and hair, and confiscating and receiving Nanjing's property.  Let Fatty Army, a group of bumpkins from Yunnan and Guizhou, open their eyes. Just in the homes of four Qing officials, the governor of Liangjiang, A Xixu, Jiangnan Liangdao Zhou Lianggong, Jiangning Salt Road Xia Qitong, and Jiangning weaving Cao Xi.  More than 3.8 million taels of cash were confiscated, not including other properties such as jewelry, jade, fields and houses!

    What surprised Xie Dong, Mu Tianyan and other local snakes was that among the five big greedy beetles, the person whose family property was confiscated the most was not the governor of Liangjiang, Ashish Xu they all thought, but Kang Mazi's favorite.  My dear friend¡ª¡ªCao Xi!  In his home, more than 1.45 million taels of cash were copied out!  Seeing this amount, Fatty Lu, who was already mentally prepared for it, couldn't help sighing: "No wonder the old Cao's family is really rich for a tael of silver and a pigeon egg!" After finishing speaking, Fatty Lu immediately ordered  , Send all the women of Lao Cao's family into the military prostitute camp, and let the fat army officers and soldiers avenge the people of Datong.

    With the money in his hand, Fatty Lu was naturally much more generous in giving rewards. More than 40,000 fat soldiers, including the most ordinary soldiers, also received a huge reward of twenty-five taels of silver, and announced that the salary of the fat soldiers will increase by three times from then on.  times!  In this way, the fat army soldiers whose monthly salary is only a few dollars are naturally all grinning from ear to ear.  , Get promoted and get rich!

    Taking advantage of the high morale of Fatty's army and the gradual recovery of soldiers' physical strength, Fatty Lu ordered Gao Dejie and Li Guodong to lead an army of 13,000 to attack Zhenjiang and Yangzhou, and Li Tianzhi led the army.??Personally led an army of 20,000 to the south, all the way to the Taiping Mansion¡ªit looked like Prince Kang was going to seek revenge from Fatty Lu.

    Fatty Lu is not afraid of Prince Kang Jieshu's ability at all. The only thing that worries Fatty Lu is the signal represented by this incident. If the Qing court is really determined to counterattack Nanjing at all costs, then Fatty Lu  The plan to annex the whole of Jiangnan as capital for making a fortune is bound to be completely disrupted.  But Fatty Lu also understands very well that it is absolutely impossible to dream that the Qing court will ignore him - he has choked the Qing court's water transportation throat seven inches, and the Qing court will definitely  No matter the cost, re-open the water transport.

    Therefore, Fatty Lu had no choice but to order Wang Xu and Li Jiyang to stick to Taiping City, while preparing to reinforce Taiping Mansion, and beat the two mangy dogs, Jie Shu and Niyahan, away with sticks.  However, at this time, an unexpected news spread into Nanjing City. Fatty Lu's friend Wang Xu sent a messenger, saying that he was already heading south along the canal, and hoped that Fatty Lu could issue an order to let Wu Jun go, so that he could  The fleet was able to pass through the river section controlled by the Wu army smoothly, and met with Fatty Lu in Nanjing to discuss important matters.

    "Brother Zizhuan came south to meet me? What is he up to? He is the Secretary of the Ministry of War and I am a rebel. Why did he come to see me? Didn't he come to Nanjing to surrender to me because he was afraid of being implicated by me?"

    After reading Wang Xu's autographed letter, Fatty Lu was baffled at first, and then soon came to his senses, with a smug smile on his fat face, "That's great, God helped me, with Brother Zizhuan's help, I can temporarily stabilize Mangou  There is great hope for the imperial court to gain a foothold."

 Chapter 299

    ?

    After receiving Wang Xu's application for an audience, Fatty Lu quickly canceled his plan to personally lead an army to reinforce Taiping Mansion, and instead sent Han Yuanren to lead an army of 3,000 troops to Taiping Mansion to help Wang Xu and Li Jiyang guard the west gate of Nanjing City  .  ¡ª¡ªAlthough Wang Xu didn't mention the purpose of coming in a single word in the letter, since Kang Mazi sent Fatty Lu's only friend in the Qing court to Nanjing, Fatty Lu has more or less guessed the purpose of his visit  Some.

    Fortunately, although there will be nearly 50,000 Qing troops approaching the city at the Taiping Mansion, Fatty Lu has already known the skills of its commander, Prince Kang Jieshu.  It may not be enough to repel the invading enemy, but it is not a big problem to defend Taipingfu city with all its strength. At the same time, Taipingfu city is only more than 150 miles away from Nanjing city, so it is very convenient for reinforcements and retreats.  So Fatty Lu doesn't have to worry too much, he can settle down and wait for Wang Xu's visit, while starting to solve two technologies¡ª¡ªfixed powder packs and lost-wax casting shells.

    In fact, Fatty Lu has been so bad for a long time that it has not been a day or two. As early as when Qujing Nulefeng was camping, Fatty Lu had already discovered the time-consuming and labor-intensive weakness of Wu Jun and Qing Army artillery reloading, and also discovered  After understanding the disadvantages of poor accuracy, poor airtightness, and insufficient range of the shells cast by clay mold technology in this era, I understand that the two key problems can be basically solved by using the fixed charge and the lost wax method to cast shells, which greatly improves the firing rate of the artillery.  Speed ??and artillery range.  But considering that sooner or later, he will go out of the Wu Jun brigade to fight for himself, so Fatty Lu just doesn't say anything - now that Fatty Lu is in charge of his own family, he will naturally have no secrets in this regard.

    Of course, before Nule Peak and Jiqi Mountain, we didn¡¯t talk about returning home, but Fatty Lu had already started to study the material of custom-packed medicine bags in secret, and found that using raw silk, a special Chinese product, as the outsourcing material, can make  Selling the cannon to quickly load the fixed ammunition packs to be fired, now that Fatty Lu occupies half of the Silk Town, this technology is naturally much more convenient and faster to use.  In just a few days, the raw silk that Cao Xi was going to make clothes for Kang Mazi's family turned into silk, and then turned into thousands of custom-packed medicine bags, which became the accomplice weapon of the fat army to kill the Qing soldiers.

    The problem of custom-loading medicine bags can be easily solved as long as you know the principle, but the problem of using the lost-wax method to cast shells is not so easy to solve for Fatty Lu, whose craftsmanship is in a mess.  The lost-wax casting method had been invented two thousand years ago, and there were a few craftsmen in Nanjing who mastered this technique, but at most they could only cast some high-precision solid shells, but they were helpless for the hollow blooming shells that Fatty Lu requested.

    There are many heroes in the south of the Yangtze River. When Fatty Lu and the Nanjing craftsmen were at a loss, Gao Dejie and Li Guodong who captured Yangzhou City sent a ship to Fatty Lu and sent a young man named Huang Luzhuang to Fatty Lu together¡ª¡ª  There is a wooden bicycle made by Huang Luzhuang himself!  Seeing the first bicycle in the world, Fatty Lu was so excited that his whole body was trembling with fat. He immediately invited Huang Luzhuang to join him and become the chief craftsman of Fatty's army. Huang Luzhuang, who was the same as Xu Zhengming, told Fatty Lu calmly,  He voluntarily came to work as a running dog for Fatty Lu, the only condition is that Fatty Lu must teach him the technology of airship manufacturing!  Naturally, the chief craftsman of Fatty Army took the surname Huang, and Fatty Lu kicked the problem of casting high-precision shells to the talented craftsman Huang Luzhuang like a football.

    Misfortunes never come singly. What happened yesterday, blessings never come to this day. Ever since Fatty Lu won Nanjing City with 50,000 Wu Jun as a desperate victory, Goddess of Luck kept favoring Fatty Lu as if she had lost her sight. On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month,  Li Tianzhi's army escorted Mu Tianyan to Suzhou City, and Mu Tianyan went to the city to persuade him to surrender, but Ning Yunpeng, the prefect of Suzhou, hesitated and did not reply for a long time.

    In the evening of the same day, Li Tianzhi's army scouts accidentally hijacked a courier outside the city, and found a letter from the Zhejiang Qing army to Ning Yunpeng from the courier.  After arriving in Jiaxing, they rushed to the city of Suzhou for rescue within a day at the latest.  Li Tianzhi resolutely gave up the surrender plan and commanded the Fatty Army to attack the city overnight. Never thought that the Fatty Army's artillery had just begun to be loaded with ammunition, and Ning Yunpeng, who had made up his mind, had already opened the city gate and led the entire city's soldiers and civilians out of the city to surrender.  Fatty's army entered the city smoothly.  After Hutu received the news of the fall of Suzhou, he had no choice but to abandon the northward rescue plan and instead went eastward to reinforce Songjiang Prefecture, which was relatively minor in this era. Suzhou officially fell into the hands of the Fatty Army.

    So far, the fat man's army has basically controlled the Jiangning, Zhenjiang, Changzhou and Suzhou prefectures in Jiangsu, as well as the most prosperous area in the south of Yangzhou mansion and Taiping mansion in Jiangxi.  It's only a matter of time.  And the most important question before Fatty Lu is how to block the Qing army's counterattack to buy time, digest and thoroughlyearly.  "Wang Xu quickly changed the subject, and said seriously: "Let's not talk about our Qing's Shaanxi-Gansu main force partially breaking through, even if our Qing's Shaanxi-Gansu main force was wiped out, so what?  The strong city of Hanzhong is still in the hands of our Qing Dynasty, and there are more than 100,000 green battalions, flag soldiers, and Mongolian soldiers in Shaanxi and Gansu. The main force led by your prince is still deeply trapped in the Shaanxi-Gansu battlefield. Brother Mihao, you are in a tight siege.  Surrounded by enemies on all sides, reinforcements cannot be counted on.  Mihao virtuous brother, don¡¯t you think about yourself, don¡¯t you think about the soldiers under your command?  "

    "Listen, Mr. Wang wants to recruit us?" Gao Hongchen said arrogantly: "So what if we are surrounded by enemies? Want to take back Nanjing City and use a knife to speak? Your Lord Kang's outstanding letter was written by Brother Wang Xu  How long have you been in the Taiping Mansion? Why don't you see him coming to Nanjing City to fight us?"

    "General Hong Chen, it may be difficult to take back Jiangning City with Lord Kang's army alone?" Wang Xu asked slowly: "But what if we add the 80,000 troops of General Zhejiang Laita?  What about the 100,000 bannermen and Mongolian soldiers that were urgently conscripted? Is it enough?"

    "If you have the courage to transfer troops from Zhejiang, then you can come." Han Daren said with a sneer: "The 100,000 troops of Prince Jingnan are watching the tigers in the middle of Zhejiang. If you transfer troops from Zhejiang, do you still want Zhejiang?  ?¡±

    "Benefactor, I have a memorial here too." Suo Mintai stood up, took out a memorial from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "This memorial was also delivered from the capital when we were on the road. It is a kindness."  Please look over the memorial that you can never expect."

    Fatty Lu pouted, Xiao Erlang stepped forward again, and passed the memorial in Suo Mintai's hand to Fatty Lu. When Fatty Lu opened it, he was surprised to find that it was Fan Chengmo, Governor of Fujian who was imprisoned by Geng Jingzhong  A memorial to Kang Mazi, and it is stated at the beginning that this memorial was entrusted by Geng Jingzhong to Fan Chengmo.  When I took a closer look at the content, Fatty Lu's fat face turned pale¡ªGeng Jingzhong actually wanted Fan Chengmo to intervene in the decisive battle between the Geng army and the Qing army, to ask the Qing court for a peace truce, and to promise that only Taizhou and Wenzhou in Zhejiang  And the three prefectures of Chuzhou, and even the Hengzhou and Jinhua prefectures that have already controlled half of them, Geng Jingzhong also said that they could refund them to show their sincerity in seeking peace.

    "General, what happened?" Han Daren saw Fatty Lu's complexion was wrong, so he hurriedly came up to watch together, but after he finished reading quickly, Han Daren's expression changed, and he exclaimed: "Geng Jingzhong is crazy?"

    "General Han, of course King Jingnan is not crazy." Wang Xu said with a smile: "Here, Brother Yu can tell San Hao a secret. There are two reasons why King Jingnan asked the court for peace. One is that Zheng Jing  Feng Xifan, the running dog of the traitor, perfidiously captured Prince Jingnan¡¯s Tingzhou Mansion, Prince Jingnan was furious, and the covenant with the traitor Zheng Jing was about to be broken.¡±

    "The second reason." Wang Xu added with a smile: "It's because of you, dear brother Sanhao. After hearing the news that you have broken Jiangning, King Jingnan immediately understood that if he insists on attacking Zhejiang now, not only will he not  If you get a little bit of benefits, you will be a shield for you, the good brother of the three good brothers, and hold back General Laita and Governor Li Zhifang's Qing army for you. You will lose all your troops and get nothing, so Prince Jingnan is very smart. He chose to take the opportunity to seek peace  , and has already ordered Zeng Yangxing to stop going north¡ªthis was admitted by Prince Jingnan to Master Fan Chengmo.¡±

    Fatty Lu and Han Daren looked at each other, and thought together: "Oops, it seems that we still underestimated Geng Jingzhong too much. This bastard is far smarter than we thought, and he can even consider this."

    "No!" After the shock, Fatty Lu quickly calmed down and came to his senses, "It's not right. If Kang Mazi believed in Geng Jingzhong's sincerity in seeking peace, he would definitely not let Brother Zizhuan continue to go south to surrender, and he would directly fight with Geng Jingzhong."  Jingzhong made a peace talk, and then dispatched troops back to attack me! And Geng Jingzhong, the anti-Qing situation is very good now, he will not be so stupid as to spit out what he eats!"

    "Understood! Geng Jingzhong must be imitating Brother Lu's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain that I offered to the old traitor Wu, pretending to make peace with Mangou, trying to use Lu Brother and me as bait, luring Zhejiang Mangou's main force to go north, and then take the opportunity to annex it.  Zhejiang! Kang Mazi suffered a loss once and was fooled once, so he refuses to believe anything!"

    Thinking of this, Fatty Lu folded the memorial in his hands, pretended to be thinking for a long time, then stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Zizhuan, Brother Mintai, Master Wu, you have worked hard from afar, let's talk about other things slowly, little brother prepare  I have a little tea and light food, and I will welcome you. Brother Zizhuan, I know you like pancakes rolled with green onions, and my younger brother specially prepared a plate for you¡ªI bought it with my salary, clean.¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 300 Three Good Conditions

    ?

    Geng Jingzhong actually saw through the current complicated situation, and planned to use Fatty Lu as a shield for Geng Jingzhong's army and as a bait to induce the Qing army in Zhejiang to adjust their strategic focus, just like the old Wu traitor back then.  Less Fatty Lu's expectations.  It also made Fatty Lu realize that the friendly army to the south of him has already learned well, and is no longer the friendly army that could sell Wu Jun back to Wu Jun for money. In the future, he must not only use this friendly army, but also be wary of it.  ¡ª¡ªBut it's not surprising, Geng Jingzhong has been raped by old man Wu too many times, if he doesn't learn to be good, then Geng Jingzhong, the Prince of Jingnan, will be a fool for nothing.

    Fortunately, although Geng Jingzhong's reaction was quick, his awakening was a bit late. Kang Mazi, who had already suffered enough from similar tricks, did not believe that these rebels would sincerely seek peace, especially now.  When the anti-Qing situation was very good, Kang Mazi refused to believe that Geng Jingzhong would sincerely ask for peace and a truce.  It was also because of this that although Fatty Lu's expectations were greatly exceeded by Geng Jingzhong's actions, Fatty Lu still acted according to the original plan in a calm manner, ordering a banquet to entertain his friend Wang Xu and his party.

    At the really plain and simple banquet, Fatty Lu and Wang Xu, who were used to this, chatted and laughed happily, telling each other their love for each other. Suo Mintai and Wu Dan, who ate this kind of simple food for the first time, frowned and chewed.  The rough meal, while thanking Fatty Lu for his hospitality, Han Daren, Gao Hongchen and others were unwilling to eat, kept whispering, hating and worried about Geng Jingzhong's shameless behavior.  Wang Xu and the others saw it in their eyes and were delighted in their hearts.

    After the banquet, Wang Xu and the others went to the posthouse in the city to settle down first. At night, Fatty Lu suddenly sent Xiao Erlang to invite Wang Xu over to the mansion, saying that he wanted to have a drink with old friends at night and talk about some personal matters.  Wang Xu had been mentally prepared for this, so he quickly agreed, and took Kang Mazi's secret decree to explain to Suo Mintai, Wu Dan and others, and then followed Xiao Erlang to the governor's yamen of Liangjiang occupied by Fatty Lu again, and  In the signing room, I saw Fatty Lu with a sick face.

    The signing room in Fatty Lu's office was very much to Wang Xu's liking. Apart from a table and chairs and a mountain of official documents, there was no extra decoration.  Besides a pot of rice wine, two wine glasses and a vegetable oil lamp, there is only a plate of dried five-spice tofu and a plate of fennel beans on the table for appetizers, and they are reluctant to light a candle.  Not as good, Wang Xu couldn't help laughing and said: "Sanhao virtuous brother is really honest, industrious and thrifty, holding half of the south of the Yangtze River, tens of thousands of money pass through his hands every day, and his diet and daily life are so simple. Just because of this, officials all over the world  If everyone is like Sanhao Xiandi, then the life of ordinary people will be easier."

    "Brother Zizhuan has won the award, but I really don't dare to take it." Fatty Lu gave up his seat to Wang Xu and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, my younger brother is also a person who likes to spend time and drink, but now is not the time.  Wan Dajun's foothold in the south of the Yangtze River is not stable, and he has to spend money on everything, and he can't exploit the people too much, and if he doesn't take the lead in thrift, what can he use to make the soldiers spend their days frugally?"

    Wang Xu smiled, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit opposite Fatty Lu. Xiao Erlang, who was the only waiter in the room, poured wine for the two of them and turned on the oil lamp, so that the good friends Fatty Lu and Wang Xu could see each other clearly.  Xu and Fatty Lu looked at each other and remained silent for a long time.  I don't know how long it took before Fatty Lu broke the silence with a sigh, and said slowly: "Brother Zizhuan, you are getting old again. For people under fifty, their braids are almost completely white, and the wrinkles on their faces are also gone.  It's much better than when we met last time. It seems that Brother Zizhuan's life has become more difficult in the past year or so."

    "I can't help it. Who told me, the Minister of the Ministry of War, that I just happened to be in time for San Hao's brother to show his power? Kill the Quartet?" Wang Xu smiled wryly, and also sighed: "Mi Hao Brother, you have lost weight again. Remember our first  When we first met, Brother Mihao, you were so fat that your chin had three layers, but now, you are so thin that you are almost as thin as Brother Yu."

    "It's also the blessing of Brother Zizhuan." Fatty Lu also smiled wryly, "Brother kills an enemy on the front line, Brother Zizhuan will send brother two enemies, burn an enemy ship, Brother Zizhuan will send Brother Zizhuan  Three boats, taking one catty of grain and grass, and brother Zijian sent another five catties, endless and endless, the consumption can consume my brother to death, and brother can't lose weight if he wants to."

    After finishing speaking, Fatty Lu and Wang Xu looked at each other again and smiled wryly. They all lamented that the best friend and the most confidant friend had to fight to the death, had to rack their brains and exhaust their energy.  Put the opponent to death.  After staring at each other with such wry smiles for a long time, Fatty Lu picked up the wine glass, turned it around and said, "Brother Zizhuan, tell me, what is the purpose of Kangxi sending you here?"

    "Brother Yu's intention of coming here, with the shrewdness and ability of a virtuous brother, can you still not guess it?" Wang Xu smiled helplessly, and finally took out a roll of yellow silk from his arms, stood up and said loudly: "Da Qing Kang!OK!  "Fatty Lu refused, and said: "Erlang, it's not the young master, I don't believe you, let alone think you are not qualified, but this time is too risky. How many soldiers of the Qing army have we killed over the years?  Before the emperor shows his sincerity in recruiting surrender, I absolutely cannot risk your life¡ªdon't forget, I'm just a brother like you!  "

    "Master" Xiao Erlang choked up.

    "Needless to say, I will never agree!" Fatty Lu categorically refused.

    "Okay then!" Wang Xu stomped his feet helplessly, and said even more helplessly: "Since you don't believe Brother Yu so much, Brother Yu, you should take the lives of your whole family to protect you, Brother Yu! Will the master live forever?"  If you will believe it, you will resign yourself to your fate! But, dear brother Sanhao, you should at least write a memorial and let Brother Yu hand it back to the capital for you, right?" (To be continued.

 Chapter 301 The Yellow River Bursting

    ?

    No matter from which point of view, Wang Xu, the tumbler in the early days of the Mazi Dynasty, can definitely be regarded as a rare good person. Words such as honesty, integrity, impartiality, defying power, punishing evil and promoting good, and fairness and honesty are really true when used on him.  It's not an exaggeration.  Even Kangxi Kang Mazi, who is vicious, cunning, greedy and shameless to the extreme, can only use the opportunity of Wang Xu's old mother's death and has to ask Ding You himself to drive this troublesome hedgehog full of poisonous thorns out of the Qing court and completely remove this thorn in his side  , A thorn in the flesh!

    Of course, such a good and honest person, to Fatty Lu, also belongs to the kind of role that he loves and hates. Of course, what he loves is his incorruptibility and integrity, and his law enforcement is like a mountain.  As a lackey, his attitude towards Wang Xu is both respectful and defensive, caring and taking advantage of him. He seldom considers Wang Xu's personal position and situation, and everything is for his own consideration.

    Unfortunately, having such a master and such a friend, the poor Wang Xu didn't realize it, but treated each other more and more sincerely. No, after the night talk with Fatty Lu, although Wang Xu could send a messenger  Or use 800 miles to report the situation to Kang Mazi in an urgent manner, but considering the importance of the matter, and the fact that Fatty Lu¡¯s quadruple killing order has too much influence and it is difficult to express the specific situation in the letter, Wang Xu still ignored the hard journey and asked for help.  Min Tai and Wu Dan objected to the persuasion, and resolutely embarked on the road back to the capital the next day. They returned to the capital by boat and prepared to tell Kang Mazi the process of recruiting Fatty Lu, and tried their best to persuade Kang Mazi to accept the three proposals proposed by Fatty Lu.  The conditions are not harsh, prompting his only confidant and friend to return as soon as possible anyway.

    Although there is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to travel from Nanjing to Beijing, the speed is much faster than the land route, but it can't be reached overnight, at least it will take ten days, but when Wang Xu and his party are rushing towards the capital day and night  , Another major event that shook the world quickly spread across the land of China. The seriousness of the situation, the huge impact, and the dire consequences it caused were no less than Fatty Lu leaping thousands of miles into Nanjing City and cutting off Kang Mazi's water transportation throat!

    The incident happened on May 16th in the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi. Wu Jun¡¯s Northern Route Army Ma Bao all the way rushed into the hinterland of Henan, and the prefectures and prefectures in Henan, which had almost no soldiers to defend, were powerless to resist. They could only watch helplessly.  Ma Bao's army grew stronger day by day, and penetrated deeper into the hinterland of the Central Plains day by day. When Ma Bao sent his troops to attack Xinzheng and was about to approach the city of Zhengzhou, when the two important towns of Kaifeng and Luoyang were in emergency at the same time, an army appeared out of nowhere.  However, the refugee team dug up the Yellow River embankment in the Heyin area in the northwest of Zhengzhou in a frenzy!

    At Fuxun, there were continuous torrential rains in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, the river surged, and the Yellow River embankment was dug again. In an instant, the torrent surged, and countless villages and farmhouses on the south bank of the Yellow River disappeared.  People became homeless and became refugees.  The Northern Expeditionary Army of the Wu Army, which was advancing rapidly towards Zhengzhou, was also caught off guard. Tens of thousands of Wu Army vanguards including General Fan Qihan of the Wu Army were wiped out and swept away by the flood. The Wu Army Brigade led by Ma Bao quickly retreated south and moved to the high ground  , but also suffered heavy losses and numerous casualties.  At the same time, due to the flooding of the Yellow River, the Central Plains became a swamp country, which blocked the advance of Wu Jun's North Route Army, and Wu Jun's dream of attacking the capital from the heart of the Central Plains was completely shattered.

    When the news spread, Old Traitor Wu, Fatty Lu and others yelled at them. Fortunately, they had taken precautions and did not dare to put the main force on the battlefield in the Central Plains.  After Kang Mazi heard the news, he was also furious, and immediately instructed Henan local officials and Qing army Luoyang guard Zhou Yimin to investigate the matter, and the new Luoyang general Zhou Yimin went through a series of unannounced visits and careful investigations, and indeed caught the culprit¡ªHenan  A Han landowner named Chen Zhihong in Huaiqing Mansion did good deeds, but because his fields on the south bank of the Yellow River were invaded by Han people on the south bank, Chen Zhihong ordered his tenants to dig the embankment and flood the fields.  It turned into a tragedy. After Kang Mazi heard the news, he ordered Zhou Yimin to kill Chen Zhihong's family without mentioning it.

    "Too bad, when this news spreads to the capital, the emperor may not be able to hold on anymore!"

    Upon receiving the news, Wang Xu's first reaction was that Kang Mazi might vomit blood and faint again. To prevent this, Wang Xu had to order the boat to go northward with all his strength, and rush back to the capital to visit Kang Mazi as soon as possible.  But after rushing back to the capital on the first day of June, Wang Xu didn't even have time to return home, so he immediately led Suo Mintai and Wu Dan to the Donghua Gate to hand over the signboard to ask for an interview, and he was quickly approved to summon him.  When they arrived at the South Study Room where Kang Mazi lived, he was stunned to see that Kang Mazi was chatting and laughing with his confidantes, looking very happy, and before Wang Xu kowtowed to salute, Kang Mazi immediately asked, "Why?"  Come back so quickly? Have you finished your errands?"

    "Your Majesty, I heard on the way that the embankment of the Yellow River was dug up, and the Central Plains has become a swamp country. I wonder if your majesty has received the news?" Wang said.?¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Unfortunately, Wang Xu's prediction about the Yellow River's embankment burst came true. On the second day, there were urgent reports from Henan and Anhui at the same time.  In an emergency, dozens of counties in the three provinces of Henan, Anhui, and Jiangsu were affected. Nearly ten million acres of fertile land were engulfed by the flood, and more than two million people were affected by the flood.  For this, Kang Mazi was not only not ashamed at all, on the contrary, he was a little complacent - this time, he finally didn't have to worry about the source of soldiers. Those young and strong men among the people affected by the disaster would give their lives to the Qing court even if they only had a bite to eat.  .

    However, Kang Mazi was obviously overjoyed too soon. After the news of the Yellow River's breach reached Nanjing, Fatty Lu scolded Kang Mazi for being inferior to the beasts of the Qing court, but secretly laughed even more happily than Kang Mazi, because  Fatty Lu is very aware of the flow habits of those affected by the disaster - they must go to places where there is food, and now the state capitals with the most abundant grain production in the south of the Yangtze River are in the hands of Fatty Lu, and they are bound to have the most advantage in absorbing refugee manpower.  It is not only easier to expand the Fatty Army, but the quality and fighting spirit of the soldiers are also guaranteed. In order to survive, the refugees from poor places are naturally better at fighting than the people in Suzhou, Hangzhou and Paradise, and they are more willing to work hard for survival.

    After the Yellow River broke its embankment and seized the Huai River into the sea, there is another advantage for Fatty Lu, that is, he doesn't have to worry about threats from the north. No matter how many Mongolian soldiers and state soldiers recruited from outside the pass, Kang Mazi wants to go south to beat Fatty Lu  , First of all, you have to pass through the Huaihe River Basin, which is also full of dangers. It is of great benefit to Fatty¡¯s army¡¯s defense against the enemy and long-term persistence. It can concentrate on preventing threats from the south and west, and provide precious time for Fatty Lu¡¯s great cause of farming.

    For Fatty Lu, Nanjing may really be a blessed land, because he couldn't believe Fatty Lu's character, Kang Mazi was already trying to negotiate a truce with Geng Jingzhong, another earth-shattering news spread into the city of Nanjing  , and sent it to Fatty Lu.  After reading the urgent report sent by Xi Zuo, Fatty Lu jumped up excitedly, hugged Xiao Erlang and shouted, "Erlang, we are safe this time, we are really safe, we are in Jiangnan, finally we can  Time to stand your ground!"

    "Master, what made you so happy?" Xiao Erlang asked in confusion.

    "My uncle, Shang Zhixin, finally rebelled!" Fatty Lu laughed wildly: "He successfully launched a mutiny in Guangzhou, took control of Guangzhou City, and captured my unlucky old man. It's good news, playing the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming,  Bombard Guangzhou Mite City! Le Erjin, you have been forced to abandon Guangdong and break out to southern Jiangxi!"

    "The eldest son is so courageous?" Xiao Erlang was startled, and hurriedly asked again: "Master, what does it matter to us that the eldest son launched a mutiny in Guangzhou? Why do you say we are safe?"

    "Stupid!" Fatty Lu scolded with a smile: "My uncle is also rebellious. Kang Mazi is only half of Zhejiang and half of Jiangxi in the south of the Yangtze River. It is difficult for Mangou in Zhejiang and Jiangxi to protect themselves.  What spare energy do you use to besiege us? This time, Kang Mazi has to obediently sit back at the negotiating table to please us!" (To be continued.

    What Fatty Lu didn't know was that the most critical catalyst for Shang Zhixin's determination to launch a mutiny was the fact that Fatty Lu occupied half of Jiangnan, which finally prompted Shang Zhixin to make this important decision!

    Originally, to the west of the Qing army in Guangdong, there was the menacing Wu Shizong Department of the Wu Army in Guangxi, Zheng Jing's chasing and fighting in the east, and Liu Jinzhong and Geng Jingzhong in the north.  Everyone knows that the Pingnan Palace is already overwhelmed, overwhelmed, and destroyed soon.  But Shang Zhixin is full of revenge and ambition, but he has to be subject to the hardcore traitor father who sells his country and sells his pants, and he has to be governed by the so-called Belleral Brocade who only relies on the mite blood to show off his power.  Stretching, hard to show fists and feet, already full of resentment, full of anger, but has never found a chance to vent!

    Now, Fatty Lu, a good brother-in-law who has always had a very close relationship with Shang Zhixin, has bitten off half of the most important Jiangnan in the world, and has been relying on manpower, material and financial resources to consume the Qing court, the most terrible lifeblood of the old Wu traitor.  Being pinched by a good brother-in-law, pushing the San Francisco rebellion to its climax, Shang Zhixin couldn't bear it no matter what he said!  Relying on the power cultivated in the Qing army in Guangdong over the years, and also relying on the prestige established in the Qing army in Guangdong over the years, Shang Zhixin resolutely launched the Guangzhou Mutiny, arrested and imprisoned his biological father Shang Kexi, an old traitor, and bombarded Guangzhou with heavy artillery  Mite City, although it failed to wipe out the Guangzhou mite in the end, it became the last straw that crushed the Guangdong Mite Army. It completely expelled the Mite Army from Guangdong and smashed the last fortress of Mite Qing in the south in one fell swoop!

    It was also at this time that the major warlords in the south, including Fatty Lu, were surprised to find that the Qing court had become so weak due to their intentional or unintentional joint strangling and weakening.  There are only half of Jiangxi and half of Zhejiang left, and there are two helpless and helpless lone troops of Laita and Niyahan!  At the same time, because of the Yellow River's embankment breach and flooding, the hinterland of the Central Plains and the Huaihe River Basin were almost empty. The territory that the Qing court could actually control had basically shrunk to the north of the Yellow River!

    At this point in the matter, anyone with a little bit of strategic vision can already see that Mite Qing is about to end, and the general trend is over!  After seeing this, not only are there more and more rebels who are afraid of chaos in the world, they are actively or carefully planning and preparing, looking for opportunities to flex their muscles and express their ambitions;  Thieves, their ambitions are growing wildly. Some things that they usually dare not do or even dare to think about have already made these rebellious officials and thieves feel that they are no longer out of reach.  Among them, Wu Sangui, who is currently the most powerful and in the best situation, is the most typical character among them!

    Because of roads, traffic, and communication channels, Fatty Lu¡¯s memorial to the old traitor Wu in late April finally passed through the strict blockade of the Qing army in Jiangxi and Anhui, and passed through the station system before it had time to improve.  The southern part of Huguang and Pianyuan, as well as most of Sichuan, were finally sent to the old traitor Wu who was recuperating in Baoning City, and it was already more than 40 days later in mid-June.

    Prior to this, not only the news that Kang Mazi dug the Yellow River and destroyed the hinterland of the Central Plains had been sent to the old traitor Wu, but even the news that Shang Zhixin had launched a mutiny in Guangzhou and succeeded had been sent to the old traitor Wu, together with the old traitor Wu  In front of him was a joint surrender letter signed by Shang Zhixin, Governor Jin Guangzu of Guangdong and Guangxi, Governor Tong Yangju of Guangdong, and Admiral Yan Ziming of Guangdong.  The old traitor Wu was naturally overjoyed when he heard the news. He immediately enshrined Shang Zhixin as a recruiting general and assisted the Duke of the State, and ordered Shang Zhixin to reconcile with Zheng Jing, and jointly exterminate the remaining Qing troops in Guangdong. He also appointed his confidant Dong Chongmin as the governor of Guangdong.  Feng Su was the governor of Guangdong and rushed to Guangdong to take over the government affairs. Jin Guangzu, Tong Yangju and others had other appointments.

    A few days after reading Shang Zhixin¡¯s letter of surrender, Wu Yingqi¡¯s and Fatty Lu¡¯s pond papers were delivered to Old Traitor Wu at the same time. Old Traitor Wu, who was extremely anxious because there had been no news from the East Road War for a long time, did not dare to neglect, so he quickly opened it.  Wu Yingqi's letter was read, and when Wu Yingqi said that Fatty Lu had succeeded in attacking Nanjing City thousands of miles away, the traitor Wu's eyes widened, and he hurriedly opened the letter of Fatty Lu's victory.  The letter in the traitor's hand fell to the ground, and his old face, which was still quite handsome, was filled with numbness, almost dumbfounded.

    "My lord, what's the matter?" Wang Shirong, who was next to him, saw that Old Man Wu had a bad look on his face, and asked cautiously, "Is there something wrong with the East Route Army, Mr. Maoya's students?"

    The old traitor Wu was silent, and he sighed after a while, "The fat loach has slipped away, this oiled fat loach has now turned into a dragon entering the sea."

    Wang Shirong's eyes widened,?Let the Guangdong Qing army Le Erjin, who gave up Guangdong to break through the siege of Jiangxi, rush northward to reinforce the battlefield in northern Jiangxi with all his strength, and prevent the evil attempts of these wolves and tigers from succeeding.  There is no way to enter Zhejiang to put pressure on Fatty Lu.

    What made Kang Mazi vomit blood and Fatty Lu giggled was Ma Bao's reaction. Ma Bao's troops, who were almost wiped out by the Yellow River, were furious when they received the news that Fatty Lu had captured Nanjing. General Ma said nothing  He commanded the whole army to turn around to the southeast, and went straight to Luzhou Mansion, the old nest of Jieshu, through Guangzhou, and planned to go to Jiangnan via Luzhou to get a share of the pie.

    Hearing the news, Lord Kang, who was battling with the Fatty Army under the city of Taipingfu, also vomited blood. He had no choice but to withdraw his troops and go north to save his old nest¡ªAnhui is also an important grain-producing area.  In the current situation, if Lord Jie Shukang lost Luzhou, an important town in Anhui, Kang Mazi would have to skin Jie Shu, his cousin.  And the newly recruited army that Kang Mazi put together with great difficulty had to go all into the Anhui battlefield, using it as a free shield for Fatty Lu-not only free, but not even a word of thanks.

    Both the east and the north are under the "obligatory help" of the friendly army, and there is no threat for the time being. Let's take a look at the situation in the south of the Fatty Army.  The army, under the command of his deputy, Yatari, went north to attack Suzhou Mansion, the southernmost point of Fatty Army's control.  But the army had just entered the territory of Suzhou Prefecture, and the news of Shang Zhixin's mutiny had already spread. Worried that the three armies of Shang, Geng, and Jing would jointly attack Laita in Zhejiang, he had to order Yattali to stop advancing, and urgently reported to Kang Mazi and asked for instructions on countermeasures.  Kang Mazi had no choice but to order Laita to stick to the grain-producing areas in northern Zhejiang with all his strength, and temporarily give up the new move to attack Suzhou.

    However, Laita and Kang Mazi are definitely not unfounded. Fatty Lu's good uncle Shang Zhixin sent messengers to contact Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing almost immediately after the soldiers changed hands, and asked to join forces to attack Zhejiang and southern Jiangxi.  Get through land contact with your good brother-in-law Fatty Lu.  Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing, who were worrying about the lack of strength to attack Jiangnan, certainly wanted it. The three families hit it off, and immediately sent envoys and in-laws to hook up together.  The oily Jiangnan made a fortune and divided up the spoils.

    In this way, under the greed of many friendly forces working together, Fatty Lu, who was attacked on all sides, became helpless on all sides. In the south, Zheng Jing, Geng Jingzhong, and monk Zhixin joined forces to contain the main force of the Qing army in Zhejiang.  Xia Guoxiang, Wu Yingqi, and Ma Bao, the three wolves and tigers rushed and beat, and bit the two main forces of the Qing army, Jieshu and Niyahan, like crazy, forcing Kang Mazi to send new troops into Anhui in an endless stream.  and the two battlefields of northern Jiangxi.  As for Kang Mazi, who was directly north of the Fatty Army, who was in a state of desperation right now, how many troops could he bring out to attack the Fatty Army?  ¡ª¡ªDon't forget, the fat man's army still has a natural danger along the Yangtze River to defend in the north. Even the Jiangnan Shipyard has been robbed by Lu Fatty. What can the Qing army do to cross the river?

    "Good people, they are all good people. There are still many good people in the world." Fatty Lu was so moved that he wanted to cry. He couldn't hold back a tear for a long time, so he had to blow his nose to express his gratitude to many good people  , and then buried himself in recruiting troops and accumulating strength.

 Chapter 303 Dirty Deal

    ?

    Taking advantage of the opportunity of the greedy allies to contain the surrounding Qing army intentionally or unintentionally, the fat army in the prosperous Jiangnan finally lived a rare and peaceful life. Apart from the usual rigorous training, the sergeants can enjoy the beautiful and prosperous Jiangnan scenery.  Touring, there are generous military rewards to squander, there are military prostitutes looted by the fat army from traitors and mite cities to enjoy, and there are a lot of recruits to bully, basically as long as it does not violate  Strict military discipline means doing what you want, and everyone is promoted¡ªif the army is expanded, the veterans will naturally rise, and everyone will get rich¡ªof course, compared to the frontier in Yunnan and Guizhou.

    The soldiers were happy, Fatty Lu also smiled so that the fat on his face bloomed, and the army expanded to 70,000 in less than a month and a half.  Mass production of Sanhao explosives and Sanhao rockets has begun; after receiving the iron mold casting method taught by Fatty Lu, the industrious and clever Jiangnan craftsmen have also begun to cast a large number of various types of artillery for the Fatty Army;  With the help of the talented craftsman Huang Luzhuang, Fatty Army finally overcomes the technical difficulties of high-precision flowering shells. Although the output is not large because of the high process requirements, but fortunately, the manpower and material resources in the south of the Yangtze River are the best in the world.  If you are willing to invest and wait patiently, the supply of high-precision shells should still be able to meet the needs of the fat army.

    In order to quickly improve the vital firearms supply capacity, Fatty Lu no longer reserved the application of the assembly line production technology, separated the production process and handed it over to special personnel.  There is also a group of people who specialize in glycerin, and finally it is unified and formulated into nitroglycerin by the Xuanwu Lake Weapons Bureau, and then into Mihao explosives.  At the same time, the most critical group of craftsmen was also allowed to live in the Imperial City of Nanjing, which represents identity and status. Not only the salary is much higher than that of ordinary craftsmen, but also given certain special rights¡ªfor example, in terms of criminal, taxation and labor.  There are special cares to increase the loyalty of these craftsmen and reduce the possibility of leaks.  And Fatty Lu's actions really mobilized the enthusiasm of the craftsmen. In order not to return to the previous hard life, the craftsmen in the original status naturally redoubled their lives for the Fatty Army, and sincerely supported the new regime of the Fatty Army.

    When dealing with the most landlords and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, Fatty Lu not only avenged the wronged landlords and gentry in the Jiangnan case, the crying temple case, the Ming history case, the imperial court case, and the Tonghai case, but also offered to continue to implement the gentry crime against his conscience.  The privilege of not being a errand or not paying food, and also promised to continue to implement the existing tax system, and never randomly seize the property and fields of any gentry and wealthy businessman, but must donate military pay and food according to the amount of land and family property¡ªthat is, taxation in disguise.  The Great Zhou army decided to overthrow the Qing court in the Central Plains, and then stopped donations, and promised to reuse the children of Jiangnan gentry after winning the world, in exchange for the support of Jiangnan landlords and gentry.

    Before that, because the Qing Dynasty court needed a large amount of military supplies and rations, the landlords and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River had been searched and extorted by the Qing Dynasty court and Qing officials, and they were full of resentment.  The landlords and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River who had been killed by the Qing court also expressed their firm support for the Fatty Army, and agreed to Lu Fatty¡¯s request to donate military food and military salaries¡ªanyway, they were searched, and the two evils were taken away.  Fatty Lu, who is both Han and relatively mild, naturally has a considerable advantage in winning the support of Han landlords and gentry.

    After coaxing the gentry and landlords, Fatty Lu's three-inch tongue aimed at the Jiangnan businessmen again, and put forward two theories of equal emphasis on agriculture and business and the sanctity of personal property.  The behavior of officials wantonly raiding merchants, encouraging merchants to become bigger and stronger, vigorously developing overseas trade, and imparting advanced technology and advanced management theories they have mastered, and at the same time promising to Yangzhou salt merchants that they will continue to guarantee their monopoly privileges after winning the world  , Increase the crackdown on salt smuggling.

    Businessmen have always been the most realistic people in the world. Although their promises to Fatty Lu are still dubious, but because Fatty Lu protects their property, and because Fatty Lu holds military power and swords, he has to bow his head under the eaves.  Still obediently agreed to pay taxes and donations to help the Fat Army expand its military strength, and accept the most stringent tax supervision by the Fat Army officials.  And because Kang Mazi only allowed private businessmen in Guangzhou to trade with overseas businessmen before, Fatty Lu is now vigorously encouraging overseas trade, and many businessmen quickly tasted the sweetness of overseas trade, which led the entire Jiangnan business community to vigorously develop overseas.  Trade, and more support for Fatty Army - these people don't want the Qing army to fight back to ban the sea and wantonly search.

    The gentry and businessmen have been coaxed, and it's the turn of ordinary people. Fatty Lu, who is very clear about what the people of this era need most, is the first to confiscate the Jiangnan bannermen and traitors.Emperor Kangxi must have not listened to him, otherwise, Uncle Huang would not have given his nephew this opportunity to be filial.  "

    "Of course the emperor didn't listen to him. Most people in the court also think that Prince An's mind has been shut down and he said these stupid words." Huang Ji nodded, and suddenly said in a low voice: "But nephew, Jiangnan  If you let the emperor know about these movements, I'm afraid he will seriously consider this proposal, right?"

    "What's going on in Jiangnan? Why doesn't my nephew understand what uncle is talking about?" Fatty Lu asked stupidly.

    "Nephew, don't lie to me." Huang Ji's expression became more serious, and he said in a low voice: "Although I have always been known for being fond of love and kindness in the imperial court, I have lived in my sixties anyway. My nephew's ambition  , the old man can still see it. Is what my nephew did in Jiangnan during this period of time really just for Wu Sangui, just to sell himself for a good price? Not to mention, it¡¯s just the land government decree of my nephew, open  The sea ban, recruiting troops and buying horses to build firearms, is to prepare for plotting the world!"

    Fatty Lu finally put away his smirk, looked Huang Ji up and down, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Then Uncle Huang, are you going to report the truth to Kang Mazi?"

    "As a subject, I should report what I see and hear truthfully to the emperor long live." Huang Lao Shangshu spread his hands and said with a smile: "However, before leaving, the emperor has another explanation. In order to avoid provoking my nephew and anger  My nephew, I must not spy on my nephew's military aircraft without authorization, let alone buy my nephew's confidantes like Xiong Cilu¡ªthe emperor has an order, and of course my subordinates dare not disobey."

    "Thank you, uncle." Fatty Lu quickly cupped his hands in thanks, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, please rest assured, if my nephew can really get what he wants in the future, uncle and uncle's family will be rich and honored for life.  My nephew naturally has a small gift to present, and I hope that my uncle can say a few good words for my little nephew in front of Kang Mazi."

    "In that case, the old man is ashamed to accept it." Huang Laoshangshu nodded, and said with a smile: "Nephew, I heard that you only have two wives now, and there is a woman who has been in love for a long time.  Formal worship and marriage. The husband still has three wives and four concubines, and the good nephew now holds half of the south of the Yangtze River. He is young and promising. Isn't the number of wives and concubines too small?"

    "That's right, my nephew thinks so too." Fatty Lu nodded quickly, deeply convinced, and then asked with a smile: "Uncle Huang said so, do you want to be a matchmaker for my nephew and take another wife and concubine?"

    "The old man has a granddaughter in his hometown in Hangzhou. She is thirteen this year and has not been married yet." Huang Lao Shangshu replied with a smile.

    "Grandfather, please be respected by your grandson-in-law." Fatty Lu got up quickly and knelt down to Huang Ji.

    "My virtuous grandson-in-law please hurry up." Huang Lao Shangshu hurriedly helped Fatty Lu, and said with a smile: "Xifeng is still a little young, and it is not appropriate to get married right away. Can my virtuous grandson-in-law"

    "It's all up to my grandfather's arrangement, and the exact date of the marriage, please give your grandfather's approval." Fatty Lu replied respectfully, while feeling a little puzzled, Xifeng?  Huang Xifeng?  Why do you sound familiar?

    "I remembered!" Fatty Lu jumped up, his small mung bean eyes were bigger than bull's eyes, and he almost shouted, "There is no white jade bed in the East China Sea, the Dragon King is here to invite the King of Jinling!  Isn't the prototype the Huang Ji family? So, Huang Ji's granddaughter is called Huang Xifeng, isn't she?"

    "Grandson-in-law, what's the matter?" Huang Ji was taken aback by Fatty Lu's violent actions.

    "Noit's nothing." Fatty Lu shook his head hurriedly, pulled Huang Ji's skinny veteran hand again, and said very sincerely: "Grandfather, I will leave the matter of the grandson-in-law to grandfather. Please ask Kang Mazi to send another envoy.  Let¡¯s surrender again!¡±

    "We're all a family now, so why not be polite." Huang Ji said with a smile, "But it's inconvenient for grandfather to come again. My good son-in-law, I don't want to see my grandfather take the blame for you, right?"

    "Of course, that's of course." Fatty Lu nodded again and again, and quickly asked Xiao Erlang to fetch the letters from Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing, held them in front of Huang Ji with both hands, and said with a smile: "Please also send these two letters to my grandfather."  The letter was also presented to Kang Mazi to let him know that whether it is negotiating a truce with Geng Jingzhong or Zheng Jing, it is unreliable. They are all spying on the prosperous Jiangnan.  There is a possibility of saving, the reason why there is no army anyway"

    "It's all because Prince Kang went against the grain, killed the prisoners of war indiscriminately, and chilled the hearts of the virtuous grandson-in-law and the virtuous grandson-in-law. This old man knows this without being taught by the virtuous grandson-in-law." (To be continued.

 Chapter 304: Clearing the Toxic Tumor

    ?

    "boom!"

    The best fine porcelain official kiln flew out of Kang Mazi's hand, and smashed straight on the water-milled floor of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.  Ying, Jue Luole Dehun, Wang Xu, Huang Ji and others immediately knelt on the ground, and Zhang Wanqiang and other eunuchs present also quickly knelt down, with their foreheads on the ground, waiting for Kang Mazi's ashen face to be furious and furious.

    "Jie Shu, did he kill prisoners of war indiscriminately?" Sure enough, Kang Mazi slapped the fake dragon case with a pockmarked face, and roared hysterically, "Have you confirmed it? Could it be that bastard Lu Yifeng spreading rumors and slandering you?"  We Qing soldiers, take the opportunity to beat back and bite back?"

    "Returning to the master, I know that the matter is important, so I didn't dare to believe it immediately." Huang Ji kowtowed, and replied respectfully: "So before returning to the capital, I went there in person with the consent of Lu Yifeng's dog thief.  I went to the Taiping Mansion to check on the spot. According to the accounts of the local people and the prisoners of our army, Lord Kang did execute the 41 soldiers of the Wu Rebel Army who put down their weapons and surrendered.  The Taiping mansion was attacked in front of Wu's rebellious army. Moreover, the servants also found out that most of these surrendered soldiers were Taiping people who had just joined Wu's rebel army, and they had never participated in the battle of defending the city.  It was the protection craftsmen who were looking for ore seedlings in the Ma'anshan area, and they were captured by Prince Kang's army"

    Huang Ji's voice became smaller and smaller, and Kang Mazi's pockmarked face became more and more blue. After taking a peek at Kang Mazi's face, Huang Ji added cautiously, "I also learned that Wu Ni from Taiping Mansion  In order to get revenge, the bandit army also put the captured bannermen of our army on the execution ground, and prepared to be quartered by five horses. Fortunately, Lu Yifeng's conscience was not lost, and he ordered to stop it in time, so the situation did not escalate further "

    "boom!"

    The pine flower stone inkstone on Kang Mazi's pseudo-dragon case also flew up, smashed straight on the floor and shattered, and then Kang Mazi's ugly male duck voice once again roared and echoed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, "Don't  Said it! Six hundred miles hastened to pass the decree, Kangjun Wang Jie wrote, killing innocent people indiscriminately, cruel and inhumane, taking off four oriental pearls, taking military merits, and fined them for three years! Tell him again, if there is another act of killing prisoners of war indiscriminately and losing the hearts of the people  , Severe punishment will not be spared!"

    "Zunzhi, long live the emperor, long live, long live." Several important ministers present hurriedly kowtowed and agreed in fear, but Kang Mazi sat back on the fake dragon chair, gritted his teeth with a livid face, obviously still in his heart  Madly cursing the nineteenth generation of Jieshu's ancestors.  As for Kang Mazi's lackeys, except for Zhang Ying who trotted to the corner of the palace to draw up an order, everyone else knelt on the ground and looked down at the cracks between the bricks, for fear that Kang Mazi would catch him and vent his anger on himself  superior.

    "Huang Aiqing." After a long time, Kang Mazi asked weakly: "Are you sure? The reason why Lu Yifeng refused to do anything anyway was because Jie Shu killed prisoners of war indiscriminately?"

    "Long live, that's true." Huang Ji kowtowed and replied: "The actions of Lord Kang really chilled the hearts of all the soldiers under Lu Yifeng's dog thief. They couldn't believe the sincerity of the imperial court's surrender. In addition, Lu Yifeng's dog thief still doubted  The Qing court¡¯s grace to recruit and surrender was a trick to make him miss the opportunity to join forces with Geng Jingzhong¡¯s rebels or the main force of Wu¡¯s rebel army upstream, so this humble minister¡¯s trip to the south is futile, please long live and punish him.¡±

    "What's your crime?" Kang Mazi snorted impatiently, but the expression on Ma's face was even more resentful.

    "Your Majesty, according to my slave's opinion, if the Emperor decides to appease Lu Yifeng's dog thief." Huang Ji said kindly again: "Then the master should first solve the problem of grievances between Lord Kang and Lu Yifeng's dog thief.  He was captured alive by Lu Yifeng's dog thief in the battle. In Li Shizu's case, Kang Wangye deliberately favored Li Suzu and had a grudge with Lu Yifeng. If Long Live continues to let Kang Wangye participate in recruiting Lu Yifeng's dog thief, not only  It's hard to succeed, even if Lu Yifeng's conscience is still intact, if he returns anyway, I'm afraid he will repeat the same mistakes as Lan Yu."

    When Huang Ji mentioned the allusion of Lanyu, it also sounded the alarm for Kang Mazi. Back then, when Zhu Yuanzhang sent Lanyu to the Northern Expedition to Mongolia, he planned to use both kindness and power to win over the Mongolian problem, but when he was about to succeed  , but because Sapphire defiled the wife of Northern Yuan Emperor Tuogusi Timur, this woman committed suicide and died, which greatly lost the hearts of the Mongolian people, and also caused the Mongolian ministries to continue to oppose the Ming Dynasty, making Zhu Yuanzhang's goal of eradicating the Northern Yuan fall short.  But now that Jie Shu and Fatty Lu have such a big feud and so much hatred, if they continue to keep Jie Shu by Fatty Lu's side, not only will it be difficult to recruit Fatty Lu, even if he succeeds in recruiting him, he may cause other troubles and make himself fall short.  It chilled the hearts of the world even more.

    "I really shouldn't let Jieshu come back." Kang Mazi sighed secretly, and then asked the lackeys: "Do you think I should continue to recruit Lu Yifeng's bastard? Or should I give up recruiting and kill them with all my strength?"

    &nbsp??, only Geng Jingzhong can bite Lu Yifeng to death!  One is that Geng Jingzhong and Lu Yifeng are just friendly troops, and they do not belong to each other. When the two thieves meet, for the sake of the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River, they will inevitably meet with blood and blood, and both sides will suffer!  At the same time, in order to weaken Lu Yifeng's dog thief, Wu Sangui's old thief will inevitably provide Geng Jingzhong's dog thief with new firearms in an endless stream, use a knife to kill people and eradicate ambitious subordinates, and then profit from it!  And my Qing Dynasty can not only avoid the guns of the bandit army, but also can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, take advantage of the chaos and send troops, and be sure to win!  "

    "Crazy talk." Kang Mazi cursed again, but his tone was obviously not as angry and determined as before.

    "Master, the slave's method will only be effective within half a year." Yue Le added unwillingly: "If it is delayed for another half year, Lu Yifeng's dog thief can gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan and create more  Better new firearms, then even if my Qing Dynasty gave up Zhejiang, even if Geng Jingzhong tried his best, he would not be able to stop Lu Yifeng, a thief. Now is the master's last chance, please think twice, holy judge.  "

    Kang Mazi was silent, as if he didn't even have the energy to scold Yue Le.  Yue Le didn't say anything more, kowtowed his head and said: "Master, the slave's crazy talk is over, I hope the master respects, the slave is gone." After finishing speaking, Yue Le didn't wait for Kang Mazi to agree, got up and went out  Heart Palace, the back view is full of loneliness and desolation, because Yue Le knows very well that it is very likely that he will never have the opportunity to enter the Forbidden City, this Hall of Mental Cultivation.

    "Crazy talk." Kang Mazi muttered again towards Yue Le's back, his dark and white eyes were full of despair and helplessness.  After a long while, Kang Mazi muttered to himself again, "Although the madness makes sense, I can still try my best. If it really doesn't work, I will personally go to fight Lu Yifeng's dog thief!  I don¡¯t believe it, how can I not be as good as that failed scholar?¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 305 Lu Sanhao

    ?

    "The Ming Dynasty has been declining for a long time, and the prince's merits and virtues are towering, and all living beings look up to him. Since the prince raised his troops, the unicorn was born, the phoenix came to the ceremony, the yellow dragon appeared, the golden harvest was born, and the nectar fell.  People, you have already upheld your position"

    "The sage said: If the name is not right, the words are not right. Today, the prince has won two-thirds of the world. All the people admire him, and the world is loyal. The name is right and the word is right. What can we discuss? Don't you hear the heavens and the gods, and you will be blamed  ?¡±

    "Uncle Shao, when was the first time in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to persuade Sun Quan to proclaim himself emperor? Why can't I find it?"

    "Chapter ninety-eighth, it's difficult for Zhang Wen and Qin Mi to argue against heaven and defeat Cao Pi and Xu Sheng to attack with fire." Wang Shaobo replied with a wry smile, and quickly reminded: "But my master, you must not copy this passage, 'Among the Great River,  Huang Long repeatedly said 'this sentence is absolutely inappropriate for persuading the prince to proclaim himself emperor - it's not too bad to use it to insinuate that you have the ambition to become emperor."

    "Really?" Fatty Lu replied casually, while flipping through the pirated second-hand "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" bought with Sanwenqian.  He patted his thigh and said: "That's right, this passage must not be copied. Now the prince is one hundred and eight thousand miles away from the Yangtze River, and I am only a few miles away from the Yangtze River. It is absolutely inappropriate to copy this passage!" ¡ª¡ª Shao Bo, persuaded Sima Yan to say  How many times is the emperor?"

    "Chapter one hundred and nineteen, fake surrender and tricky tricks turn into empty words, and then accept Zen meditation as a gourd." Wang Shaobo replied with a wry smile, and then persuaded him with good intentions: "Boss, this kind of writing is still a good idea."  Let the students do it for you. Don¡¯t be angry if you tell the boss, the students will polish your draft and let you copy it, no matter how bad the writing is, it¡¯s better than your nondescript plagiarism.¡±

    "I know you are kind, but you don't understand." Fatty Lu shook his head, flipping through the pirated version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and said: "If I don't write and conceive such a big thing myself, the prince can still think that I am right.  Is this matter out of sincerity? Is it out of devotion? I used to pick out the papers for the scholar examination from the waste papers, and the articles you wrote were sent to Shaanxi and Gansu, and the prince couldn't see me at a glance  Are you looking for a gunman to write it? Why don¡¯t you scold me for not being sincere?¡±

    "Hey, it really is in the one hundred and nineteenth chapter, Shaobo is really good at learning and memorizing, okay, this passage can be copied." Turning to the passage where Sima Yan replaced Wei Zili, Fatty Lu was even more delighted, and hurriedly read it again.  Picking up the brush and dipping it in chicken blood, he buried his head in the letter paper and copied it crookedly.

    "What the boss said may be reasonable" After a little calculation, Wang Shaobo felt that Fatty Lu's analysis was very reasonable. Since the old traitor Wu hinted in his reply letter that Fatty Lu persuaded him to become emperor - of course he hoped that Fatty Lu would be the emperor.  With all sincerity and sincerity, if Fatty Lu really asked some gunmen to write for him, copied the letter and sent it to old traitor Wu, and old traitor Wu could see at a glance that it was done by the gunmen, he would not be happy to go there, on the contrary.  Fatty Lu's plagiarized sentences that don't make sense but are clearly written by himself may retort the favor of martial arts like old traitor Wu.

    "Boss, although your words are reasonable, but have you considered this?" Wang Shaobo suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Now, Boss, you are at the top of the sky in the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and you are famous all over the world. The prince hinted that you should persuade him.  Proclaiming the emperor, it is clear that I want you to take the lead and drive all the soldiers of the Great Zhou to support the prince and proclaim the emperor. Your persuasion to enter the table, the prince must be made public for everyone in the world to see. You copied it like this  A nondescript persuasion form was given to the prince, and the prince took it and made it public, wouldn't it be ridiculous?"

    "Of course I have considered this point, but do you think I will send this form of persuasion to the lord? The lord will immediately ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor?" Fatty Lu continued to write with blood, and said with a sneer: "  The lord will definitely write back and scold me bloody, and then I will write another form of persuasion. The lord may just consider my suggestion and discuss this matter in a small range until I go to the third form of persuasion.  Only the prince can reluctantly ascend the throne and become the emperor of the Great Zhou."

    "Understood." Wang Shaobo nodded, and stopped nagging Fatty Lu to write his heartfelt words, but said respectfully: "Then the master's second and third ways of persuading him to enter the form, and then let the students come to write, and keep the master and the prince.  All satisfied."

    "You can write now." Fatty Lu waved his hand, "Nanjing is thousands of miles away from Shaanxi and Gansu, and I don't know how much time it will take. Now you can write the last two persuasion forms. We will write them every ten days.  Send a courier to Shaanxi and Gansu, so there will be no delay¡ªand no need to kill chickens."

    Wang Shaobo agreed, and quickly sat across from Fatty Lu and spread out a pen and paper. He also dipped the brush in rooster blood, conceived it casually, and then started to write with the most gorgeous rhetoric and the most passionate words.  At this time, just as the unscrupulous master wrote the persuasion form and wrote it soundly,If you don't pick it up, brother Yu will leave immediately, and go back to Beijing to plead guilty to the emperor!  "

    "This" Fatty Lu really couldn't bear to deceive his friend who had a deadly friendship to this point, but when he thought that at least 40% of the rice in Jiangnan hadn't been threshed and put into storage, there were also firing needle guns and guns.  The casting of a large number of mother cannons has also entered a critical stage. Fatty Lu gritted his teeth and asked shamelessly: "Brother Zizhuan, did you bring that thing?"

    "What?" Wang Xu asked.

    "The Iron Deed of the Alchemy Book!" Fatty Lu said confidently: "The emperor did not give the criminal minister the iron deed of the Dan Book to avoid death for three generations, so how dare the criminal minister feel at ease anyway?"

    "You still want the Tie Qi of the Alchemy Book?" Wang Xu almost didn't cry, and quickly said: "My good brother, we never had the Tie Qi of the Alchemy Book in the Qing Dynasty. How could you get it out of Brother Yu?"

    "We don't have it in the Qing Dynasty, but other dynasties have it." Fatty Lu said aggrievedly: "Brother Zizhuan, don't you know how big my crimes were before and how many enemies I had in the Qing court?  Dan Shu Tie Qi, how can I tell my younger brother to rest assured anyway?"

    Wang Xu was completely speechless. He wanted to yell at him, but his good upbringing prevented him from opening his mouth. He wanted to punch Fatty Lu's aggrieved fat face, but he couldn't bear to do it¡ªand there was Fatty Lu beside him.  The gang of lackeys looked at the tiger for a long time, and he was afraid that the moment he raised his hand, the gang of lackeys had already pinned him to the ground.  In desperation, Wang Xu had no choice but to choke up and say, "Brother Mihao, Brother Yu has pledged his entire family's life to guarantee you. Do you really want Brother Yu's entire family to die? Are you sincere anyway? Brother Yu, I beg you, you  Just give me an accurate word!"

    Fatty Lu couldn't bear it, he lowered his head, and only after a while did he say, "Brother Zizhuan, please ask for the Tie Qi of Danshu for my younger brother."

    Facing his friend who is so heartless and dog-hearted, Wang Xu really wanted to cry without tears, and he said after a long while: "Three good, what if brother Yu obtained the iron contract of Dan Shu for you, and you go back on your promise?"

    Finally, Fatty Lu no longer had the heart to continue to deceive Wang Xu, he lowered his head and stopped talking, and when Wang Xu saw Fatty Lu's expression, he suddenly understood in his heart, but he still refused to give up, just choked up and asked:  "Brother Sanhao, Brother Yu can ask for the Iron Deed of the Pill Book you want for you! Brother Yu only wants you to remember that when Brother Yu went south this time, he took the lives of all the family members to guarantee you in front of the emperor.  Yes, if you cheat Brother Yu, Brother Yu really doesn't know what to do."

    Fatty Lu still didn't speak, he just lowered his head even lower, and he only hoped that Wang Xu would see that he was playing a fake game and leave in a hurry.  But to Fatty Lu's disappointment, after Wang Xu choked up for a long time, he said again: "Brother Sanhao, Brother Yu, I'll go back and write the memorial, and I will ask you for the Danshu Tieqi.  There will be no reply until ten days later, and after twenty days, brother Yu will try his best to bring you the Dan Shu Tie Qi. At that time, I only hope that you can keep your word."

    After finishing speaking, Wang Xu reinstalled Kang Mazi's imperial decree to recruit security, and left in tears.  Seeing Wang Xu's back as thin as a penny pole, Fatty Lu also shed tears, and murmured: "Brother Zizhuan, why are you doing this? No matter how stupid you are, you can understand that I am lying to you, why don't you?"  Go back immediately to save your wife, children and parents? Why do you trust me again and push your family into the fire pit?"

    More than twenty days later, on September 12th, the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, Wang Xu, the envoy ambassador of the Qing Dynasty and Minister of the Ministry of War, held the edict of appeasement and the iron deed of Danshu personally bestowed by Kang Mazi, begging to see Lu Yifeng, a false Zhou thief.  However, the thief general Lu Yifeng categorically refused, and the Qing court's half-year appeasement campaign to the thief general Lu Yifeng finally ended in complete failure.  Afterwards, Wang Xu resolutely refused Lu Yifeng's call to surrender, and led the envoy to leave Nanjing without saying a word. On the way back, when crossing the river, Wang Xu committed suicide by throwing himself into the river as an apology.  The news spread back to the capital, and Wang Xu's family was escorted to Caishikou for questioning.

    Six years ago, they met.

    Six years ago, he rescued him, and they respected each other.

    Six years ago, he repaid him.

    Six years later, he cheated on him.

    Six years later, he believed him, and he died in apology.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.) (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 306 Dying Struggle

    ?

    "Decree to take down Wang Xu's family, the treacherous official who wronged the country, and take him to Caishikou for questioning and beheading immediately!"

    With bloodshot eyes yelling out this decree, Kang Mazi took another look at the fake dragon case, and yelled, "How many new troops have been recruited in Shandong Province in Zhili now?  How many Mongolian troops have been transferred?"

    "Return to master." Mingzhu, Minister of the Ministry of War, replied tremblingly: "Currently, there are 71,126 newly recruited troops in Zhili and Shandong provinces, and a total of 30,000 soldiers were urgently recruited from Liaodong.  2,919 people are currently stationed in Dong'an. A total of 18,257 troops from various Mongolian tribes are currently stationed in Zhangjiakou."

    "More than 120,000, that's enough!" Kang Mazi slapped the table again, and shouted: "Decree, quickly prepare for the personal conquest. I want to personally lead the 120,000 army to drive the conquest, and go and fight with Lu Yifeng in person."  Let the thieves fight to the death! Recover all of my Jiangnan!"

    "Yujia's personal conquest?" Mingzhu, Suo'etu, Zhang Ying, and Jueluo Dehun and other important ministers present were all stunned.  They started to cry and shouted together: "Master, absolutely not! Absolutely not! Master is the master of the world, and the universe shakes when he breathes and breathes. You must not leave the capital without authorization, and easily conquer by yourself!"

    "Fart!" Kang Mazi snarled wildly with red eyes: "Lu Yifeng's thieves have occupied my Jiangnan, cut off my water transportation, and played me like a monkey for half a year! If I don't drive myself to conquer it, I will go and get it myself!"  This dog thief will be hacked into pieces and executed Ling Chi, wouldn't I be the laughing stock of thousands of people?!"

    "Master, don't do it!" All the ministers tried to persuade him again, but Kang Mazi overturned the false dragon case and roared, "I have made up my mind. Whoever dares to persuade me again will be beheaded immediately!"

    Suo'etu, Jueluo Ledehun and others quickly shut up, trembling and sweating profusely. They wanted to persuade but dared not continue to persuade, but Mingzhu plucked up the courage to kneel out, kowtowed and said: "Master, you just cut the slave!"  , Master, please finish the slave's words! Lu Yifeng is a thief who deceives the emperor and fools the emperor. He really deserves death. All the slaves want to eat his flesh, lay his skin, and drink his blood!¡ª  ¡ª But, master, we can no longer afford to fight the battle of Yujia's personal conquest, and it is impossible to win it!"

    Speaking of this, Mingzhu burst into tears, crying loudly and said: "It is true that the slaves recruited 70,000 new troops for the master, and also transferred more than 50,000 mite and Mongolian troops from outside the pass, but these troops, to put it bluntly, are  Crowd! Of the 70,000 new troops recruited in Zhili, Shandong, at least 30% of the soldiers were not equipped with weapons.  The actual combat test, and most of them have only gone through two or three months of preliminary training, what effect can they play on the battlefield?"

    "As for our newly recruited Mongolian army, the Mongolian army is a little better. Most of them are young and strong soldiers, and they also bring their own weapons and horses. However, our soldiers in the Mite Province are mostly children of fifteen or sixteen years old.  And fifty-year-old old soldiers! There are also their food, grass and military pay, as well as the wages and wages of the civilians who guarantee the 120,000 troops to go out, and the slaves can¡¯t afford it now¡ª¡ª!¡±

    "Master!" Mingzhu repeatedly kowtowed and cried bitterly, "Master, please think about it carefully. With such an army traveling thousands of miles, crossing the dangerous Yellow River flood area, and then attacking Jiangnan with its natural fortified city  Is there a chance of winning? The slaves are not afraid of death, but they just don't want the master's fame to be ruined!"

    "Master, what Ming Zhongtang said is justified, please think twice, master!" Suo'etu, Jue Luo Le Dehun and the others also wept bitterly and kowtowed repeatedly, for fear that Kang Mazi would do something stupid in his rage and impulsiveness, which would completely ruin Mi Qing's life.  The last ray of hope also achieved and established Fatty Lu's eternal fame.

    Yiyi's personal conquest was met with unanimous opposition from all his confidantes and lackeys. One can imagine the anger in Kang Mazi's heart, his pockmarked face was so angry that all the pockmarks bulged out, bulging like pimples all over his face.  A few hard-core lackeys of mine chewed it alive, and they can eat it raw without even dipping it in soy sauce!  But fortunately, Kang Mazi is also a descendant of wild boar skin. No matter how much he likes military affairs and doesn't know how to pretend to know how to command, he also understands that an army without military pay, food, grass, and weapons is a bunch of scum.  The group of pigs slaughtered by Fatty Lu had no hope of winning.

    Because of this, Kang Mazi thought about it, and finally made a little concession, and asked: "Then how many troops can be dispatched under the condition of ensuring the military supplies?"

    Mingzhu wiped away her tears, pinched her fingers and counted quickly for a moment, then talked with Suo'etu in a low voice, finally bit the bullet and replied: "Master, if you want to make sure youCome on?  Now in the whole world, besides us in Jiangnan, who else can come up with this money?  "

    "Uncle Shao is right." Zhu Fangdan rarely expressed correct opinions on military politics, and warned: "Since Emperor Mangou has done this, he must want to take a desperate gamble and use this borrowed money and food as military pay."  , Take back Jiangnan at all costs, and then use Jiangnan's money to repay the loan! It is estimated that it will not be long before the power of the whole country is about to beat us!"

    "Come on, come on, I'm afraid they won't make it?!" Fatty Lu said arrogantly: "With the current quality and quantity of the Mangou army, and our current situation, unless Mangou abandons Shaanxi and Gansu and transfers back to Shaanxi  Gan's main force, together with Jiangxi's main force and Zhejiang's main force, will besiege me with all their strength! Otherwise, even if only two main forces are used, they will never want to snatch Jiangnan from me!"

    "But we have to suffer heavy losses, don't we?" Wang Shaobo is not as humble as Lu Fatty, and he calmly warned: "Master, please think about it, if Mangou draws part of the army from Zhejiang and some troops from the battlefield in northern Jiangxi, then  Mobilize or assemble a large army to attack us from the north and attack us from three sides at the same time. Even if we can win in the end, the territory will be beaten to pieces by the dogs. Without a foothold, what else do you use to compete with others?"

    "Of course I understand this." Fatty Lu waved his hands, spread them out again, and said helplessly: "But what can I do? Who told me that I occupy the best land now, and I have completely torn my skin with Man Gou, Man Gou  If you don¡¯t hit me, who will you hit? Apart from trying to keep the enemy at home, what else can you do?¡±

    "Didn't the master ever think of attacking first?" Wang Shaobo said with a smile: "Although we can't send our allies into the south of the Yangtze River to make a living, if we take advantage of Mangou before we have a chance to kill them from the north, we should first kill the soldiers around us."  Weaken the two full dogs so that they can only protect themselves without any aggressiveness. Wouldn¡¯t it be much easier when the full dogs are encircled and suppressed? By the way, they can also train the new army, grab one or two more state capitals, and fight for  Wouldn't one or two buffer sites serve multiple purposes?"

    Fatty Lu stopped talking, strode to the sand table of the map, and stared at the sand table for a long time before Fatty Lu asked, "Uncle Shao, in your opinion, we should weaken that dog first?"

    "Of course it's the Mangou in the south." Wang Shaobo quickly replied: "Geng Jingzhong, who helped us to contain the Mangou on the southern line, is not only the weakest, but also the most unreliable. He may reach an armistice agreement with the Mangou at any time to deceive us, and it will only be greatly weakened."  Only when Man Gou in the south and Man Gou come to the north for a decisive battle, can our southern front be safe. As for the West Front, no matter how unreliable the Second Prince, General Ma Bao and General Xia Guoxiang are, they will never fight Man Gou  The truce will allow the northern Jiangxi Mangou to deal with us with all their strength, so our western front is relatively safe."

    "Write a letter for me, to the one who raised your sex." Fatty Lu ordered without turning his head: "Tell him, I will personally lead the army to the south in a few days, first attacking Songjiang and then attacking Jiaxing, ensuring the safety of the flanks.  , and then attack Huzhou and Hangzhou! Please launch an attack on the front line of Jinhua as soon as possible, and strive to join our army under the city of Hangzhou!"

    "Boss, there's no need to tell Mangou about our route of attack, right?" Wang Shaobo was startled, and hurriedly reminded: "My boss forgot that Zeng Yangxing had stopped attacking Mangou in Hangzhou under the order of Geng Jingzhong.  Just let Zhejiang Mangou come to bite us, so that they can reap the benefits¡ªif Zeng Yangxing learns from his wicked master and deliberately betrays us, and sells your letter to Zhejiang Mangou, then we will be in big trouble  gone?"

    "Of course I know that." Fatty Lu grinned, and replied, "However, I just hope Zeng Yangxing betrayed me!"  Recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation.) (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 307

    ?

    Unfortunately told by Wang Shaobo, after receiving the letter from Fatty Lu by sea about an appointment date, Zeng Yangxing, the commander-in-chief of Geng Jingzhong's left army, took Fatty Lu immediately after thinking about it for less than ten seconds.  The letter ordered: "Take two copies, keep one copy, and send the other to the prince in 800 li expedited - the original, send it to General Pingnan Laita, who is full of dogs, in 800 li expedited!  "

    Limited to roads, traffic and Qing army blocking, in fact, long before Zeng Yangxing made this shameless decision, the fat man army entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River had already made preparations for the southern expedition, and had already decided on the candidates for the expedition and those who stayed behind.  At the same time, Fatty Lu boasted that unless Kang Mazi used the power of the whole country to encircle him, no matter which two main forces he sent, he would no longer be his opponent.  fact.

    After six months of expropriation and crazy expansion in Jiangnan, the fat man army that was less than 50,000 when he entered Jiangnan has now expanded wildly to more than 95,000!  It's definitely not like Kang Mazi, Geng Jingzhong, and some generals of the Wu army represented by Ma Bao. They only use numbers to scare their opponents, but a solid and steady expansion of the army.  Strict military training, weapons and equipment are armed to the teeth, and the spirit of fighting spirit is also quite full. Basically, it can be said that there is nothing lacking except experience!

    Just like this, among the recruits of the Fat Man Army, even the most ordinary soldier is actually carefully selected from one of three, one of four, or even one of five!  ¡ª¡ªOtherwise, with the manpower, material and financial resources of Jiangnan, and the frenzied influx of refugees from the Yellow Flood Area into Jiangnan where there is food to eat, if Fatty Lu wants to make up for it, even if he expands his army to 150,000 to 200,000 within half a year  easy!

    In terms of crucial weapons, relying on the astronomical amount of materials left to Fatty Lu by the good man Kang Mazi, within half a year, the Fatty Army has already built tens of thousands of Sanhao rockets, which were cast using the iron mold casting method.  More than 600 artillery pieces of various types have been produced, and relying on the original lathe jointly built by Huang Luzhuang and Fatty Lu, the Fatty Army has produced more than 4,000 firing pin flintlock guns and a large amount of supporting ammunition.  There are also more important ships in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River. More than 200 large warships have been built, and countless small boats have completely made up for the shortcomings of the Fatty Army's navy.  Become the lord of the Yangtze River, the strength of the navy far exceeds that of Geng Wu Kang Mazi, and he is catching up with Zheng Jing of Taiwan, who lives on the sea!

    But in this way, not only was the huge amount of supplies left to Fatty Lu by the good man Kang Mazi completely consumed, but Fatty Lu was also forced to return to his old job of excavating excrement, leading thousands of refugees from the Yellow River to dig toilets everywhere.  Soil practice¡ª¡ªfortunately, Fatty Lu finally didn't need to do it himself this time, and Fatty Lu didn't have to worry about being kicked out of bed by Lan Yuer in the middle of the night.  Relying on the advantage of having access to the sea, they smuggled imported copper, iron, sulfur, saltpeter and wood by all means, crazily devoured all the strategic materials that could be bought, and even colluded with corrupt elements inside and outside the Miqing to smuggle them directly from areas controlled by Miqing  Importing and further corrupting officials and generals of the Qing Dynasty can be described as a heinous crime.

    In addition, Fatty Lu's treacherous and despicable face was fully exposed in the deployment of personnel and the distribution and formation of troops. First, he divided the 95,000 Fatty Army into four regiments, stationed in Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Nanjing.  With the Taiping Mansion, they also used the excuse that Wang Xu resisted Jie Shu and had no chance to go to Jiangnan to enjoy it for two months, so they transferred Wang Xu, who was honest, loyal and loyal to the old man Wu, back to Nanjing, and he was directly under his own control.  Han Daren was sent to Taiping Mansion.  As a result, Fatty's Legion actually became Gao Dejie's Corps, Han Daren's Corps, Li Tianzhi's Corps, and Lu Fatzi's Direct Corps. Among them, Lu Fatzi's immediate Corps is not only the strongest, but also Gao Dejie's clan brother Gao Hongchen and Han Daren's relatives.  Brother Han Yuanren stayed in Fatty Lu's immediate corps as a precaution.

    Once the establishment is finalized, it will be much easier for Fatty Lu to dispatch troops and arrange personnel.  Lu Fatzi personally led the Zhili Corps to the south, and joined forces with Li Tianzhi Corps to attack the Zhejiang Qing Army. Wang Xu, Han Yuanren, Gao Hongchen and Hutongchun four generals went out with the army.  Yu'er's dowry cronies are more loyal and dependent on Fatty Lu than they are on old traitor Wu. Xie Dong is simply Fatty Lu's die-hard friend. With them sitting in his lair, Fatty Lu can naturally rest assured.

    Han Daren Corps guards the Taiping Mansion, the west gate of the south of the Yangtze River. Han Daren is the leader, and Li Jiyang, the son of Li Guodong, is the deputy. Han Daren's virtue is to prefer death to disadvantage and desperately take advantage. Although this virtue has been greatly improved now, his nature cannot be changed.  With him sitting in the Taiping Mansion, not only can he prevent the Qing army from north Jiangxi from advancing eastward, but there is absolutely no need to worry that he will be so stupid as to open the west gate and put Wu Yingqi, Xia Guoxiang and Ma Bao into the south of the Yangtze River to grab food.  The honest and honest Wang Xu or the old man Wu Jun, Gao Dejie, can't be sure.

    ??, and when the general¡¯s army reached Wuzhen at the junction of Jiaxing and Huzhou, they suddenly turned to the northwest, along the wide official road, and rushed towards Yixing County, Zhenjiang Prefecture at full speed!  When Lu Yifeng heard the news, he had to go back to save Yixing. Otherwise, not only would his food road be threatened by our army's cavalry, but the entire hinterland of Jiangnan would also be exposed to our army's blade!  "

    "And after our army hastened to the Yixing city, it would be the best to win Yixing. We can wait for work and hit Lu Yifeng's dog thief hard. Even if we can't take it, when Lu Yifeng's dog thief runs around Taihu Lake to the city of Yixing, we will be the main force of the Qing Dynasty.  It is also possible to calmly return to Huzhou, a place with abundant food and wages, and stick to the city! In this way, not only the crisis in Songjiang and Jiaxing will be resolved, but Lu Yifeng's dog thief forces will also be dispersed to Huzhou and Suzhou.  If the enemy is divided and we gather together, the enemy has less food but we have enough food, and our army defends the city, wouldn't it be easier?"

    "Brilliant plan!" Laita and Li Zhifang applauded together, applauding Yao Qisheng's plan of swaying east and west.  At the end, Laita asked again: "Xizhi, this general intends to adopt your plan and personally lead the troops to attack Yixing. I wonder if you would like to go with the army and advise this general, adapting to the situation?"

    "The general flatters me, how dare I disobey my orders?" Yao Qisheng was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed, and then said with a smirk in his heart: "Lu Yifeng, a thief, I heard that you have never lost a battle since you debuted? Sorry,  I, Yao Qisheng, this time, I will give you a bud! Let you know that there are more powerful tactical masters than you in this world!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 308

    ?

    After repeatedly confirming the movement of Fatty Lu's army, on October 14th of the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi, General Laita of Qing Pingnan also personally led 30,000 Zhejiang Qing troops, including some new conscripts, to command Ya  Tali is the vanguard, going north along the canal to rescue Songjiang Mansion with only 5,000 defenders and Jiaxing Mansion with 6,000 defenders, and prepares to fight the main force of the fat man army in Songjiang where cotton and grain are abundant to resolve the crisis on the northern front.

    ?In view of the fact that the Qing army in Zhejiang made decisions before moving and striking later, the Laita army marched extremely fast, marching more than 60 miles a day, and arrived at Shimen County, the border between Hangzhou and Jiaxing, in just one day.  At the same time, the fat man's brigade, which marched no more than three to forty miles a day, had just arrived at Gaoqiao Town in Wuxi County like a turtle crawling, and it was still hundreds of miles away from its destination, Suzhou City.

    Marching in the base area under the strong control of the self-army is still crawling like a tortoise. Naturally, Fatty Lu's laziness and conservatism was unanimously complained by all the generals of the Fatty Army.  Fatty speeded up and rushed to Suzhou City to join forces with Li Tianzhi as soon as possible, killing all the dogs by surprise - anyway, the granary of the main force of Fatty's army was in Suzhou, and there were canals for the transportation of firearms and ammunition.

    And Han Yuanren, who is the forward, also sent people back several times to protest, hoping that Fatty Lu would take back the rule that he was only allowed to march 30 miles a day, and let him rush to Suzhou to join forces with Li Tianzhi immediately.  Here is the opportunity to join hands with Li Tianzhi to take down the cornucopia of Songjiang Mansion in the world of clothing and quilts!  But Fatty Lu replied eloquently: "What's the rush? Last time we ran thousands of miles to Nanjing, the soldiers were already very tired. Let them rest more. Otherwise, when they reach their destination, they won't have the energy to fight.  what to do?"

    "Haven't he recovered from the exhaustion from running thousands of miles to Nanjing City half a year ago? Are we so useless?" The fat generals all felt faint, but seeing Fatty Lu's smiling fat face, the fat generals  I also knew that persuasion must be in vain, so I had no choice but to go with Fatty Lu helplessly, thinking that I would waste a day of military rations anyway.

    On the morning of October 16th, Fatty Lu's army arrived at the foot of Wuxi city. The county magistrate Wang Guo was leading all the civil and military officials out of the city to welcome him.  This general will not enter the city anymore, your county is well governed, and this year¡¯s public grain handover ranks among the top among the counties in the south of the Yangtze River, this general should report to the prince of Ming to ask for credit and rewards for your county.¡±

    "The general has won the award. In fact, it is all due to the general." Wang Guozheng nodded and bowed and said, "Thanks to the general who organized the refugees from the Yellow River to refine nitrate in small counties.  Fertilizers for the rice fields, this year the small counties can only get a bumper harvest, and they haven¡¯t been apportioned indiscriminately like the Mangou court, and the people in this county are very grateful to the general, and many people have erected longevity tablets for the general.¡±

    "Is there someone else who will set up a longevity tablet for me?" Fatty Lu laughed, and was about to ask for details, but a rider came galloping from a distance, and the knight put a small red flag on his back, which represented the urgency of ten thousand, Fatty Lu quickly swallowed his words  , Pushing away Wang Guozheng took the initiative to greet the messenger, and asked before the messenger dismounted: "Is it the military situation of Zhejiang Mangou?"

    "Back to the general, yes." The messenger replied panting while rolling off the saddle, "Our army has made the latest scout report, Mangou Pingnan General Laita led an army of 30,000 troops, and he set off from Hangzhou the day before yesterday.  , the speed is very fast, as of yesterday morning, it has arrived in Shimen County, Jiaxing Prefecture!"

    "Then what is their purpose? Where is it?" Fatty Lu asked.

    "Songjiang!" The fat man's army courier replied panting: "The banner of the main force of Mangou is to rescue Songjiang and flatten Suzhou!"

    "Okay!" Fatty Lu clenched his fist fiercely, waved his hand and said to the messenger, "Thanks for your hard work, go down to rest and receive your reward." Then, without waiting for the messenger to agree, Fatty Lu immediately turned his head and shouted at the Wu army generals behind him: "  Gao Hongchen listens to the order!"

    "The end is here!" Gao Hongchen quickly stepped out and clasped his fists in agreement.

    "I order you to lead two thousand cavalry as the vanguard, and immediately divert to the southwest, and go to Yixing to join forces with Guo Yingfu, the guard there! Prepare to go south and attack Huzhou City!" Fatty Lu shouted loudly: "Remember, you are only allowed to arrive in Yixing before the third watch tonight!  Promise ahead of time, no delay!"

    "The last general will obey" Gao Hongchen was dumbfounded halfway through the promise, and exclaimed: "General, aren't we going to fight Songjiang and Jiaxing? Why did you temporarily change the plan and go to Huzhou?"

    "Who said I changed my plan temporarily?" Fatty Lu glared at Gao Hongchen, and said with a sneer, "Am I stupid? If I really plan to fight Songjiang or Jiaxing, I will let the news out in advanceThe end general doesn't know either.  "Gao Hongchen replied helplessly: "Fortunately, as soon as you pass the Macheng Ridge, the terrain will open up. You should be able to find out how many troops Mangou has and where the team came from.  "

    While speaking, Guo Yingfu, the fat man's army at the back of the palace, had withdrawn from the Machengling mountain area, and two more fat man troops went up to meet them, stopping the pursuers for Guo Yingfu.  At the same time, the chasing soldiers of the Qing army found a dark fat army brigade appearing on the south bank of the Jingxi River, and they were frightened out of their wits.  A good opportunity for the army's forward team, just patiently observe and judge.

    While waiting patiently, more and more troops of the Qing army came out of the mountainous area from the official road and the mountain road, and formed a large formation on the flat ground with the mountainous back.  Lime Mountain, when the commander-in-chief flag was planted on the top of Shihui Mountain, Fatty Lu finally figured out who the enemy was.  Correspondingly, Laita held up the binoculars to look at Fatty's army flag array, and when he saw Fatty Lu's flag with the word Lu, he immediately understood which plague god his army had encountered.  Then¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Shameless and full of dogs! It really isn't a good thing!" Fatty Lu yelled, "The main force said to save Songjiang Jiaxing, but in fact they came here to sneak attack on my Yixing City, trying to smash my heart to pieces! Dreaming!"

    "Despicable Wu dog! It really isn't a good thing!" Laita's face was also livid, "The main force said to fight Jiaxing in Songjiang, but in fact, they came to sneak attack on Lao Tzu's Huzhou mansion, and wanted to take Lao Tzu's Huzhou granary! Dreaming!"

    "Fortunately, I am wise and powerful, and I was not fooled by Man Gou (Wu Gou)!" Fatty Lu and Laita cursed again in unison.  (To be continued.

    (ps: I have to go out for something, the number of words is less, please forgive me.)

    "Shameless! Despicable! Dirty! Nasty! Uneducated! Wicked! Slut! The murderer who blocked the septic tank! Africans fucked with the descendants of black pigs! Chimpanzees with imbalanced yin and yang! The product of wild boar skin and reindeer mating! Huang Taiji and  The deformed child born of his mother's adultery! Shunzhi was castrated for half a year and cloned with dead cells! A half-orc born prematurely by the old witch of Xiaozhuang! Shameless dog!"

    Cursing with teeth and claws, Fatty Lu, who had almost suffered a big loss, was so angry that he was almost like a poisonous snake that was almost pinched seven inches by someone¡ª¡ªthe fact is exactly the same, and the 18th generation of Kang Mazi's ancestors were frothed.  They scolded each one over and over¡ªbut in the conscience of heaven and earth, Kang Mazi was shot lying down this time, and Laita's surname was Namudulu, not Aixinjueluo.  But Fatty Lu's anger was so high that it was still enough to turn the entire Tianmu Mountains into ashes!  Burn the entire water of Taihu Lake into steam!

    "Haha, hahahahaha!" Cursing and cursing, Fatty Lu suddenly burst out laughing, laughing very happily, as if he had just picked up a gold ingot.  It also scared the henchmen of Fatty Lu next to him, especially Xiao Erlang, who quickly pulled Fatty Lu by his sleeve and screamed: "Master! What's wrong with you, Master? Don't scare us, Master!"  In front of the enemy, don't be mad!"

    "Fart! Who is mad?" Fatty Lu shook off Xiao Erlang's dirty hands, and said with a smile, "Master, I am so happy, so happy."

    "Master, why are you happy again?" Xiao Erlang asked in confusion.

    "Of course I'm glad that the main force of Mangou came to the door to die!" Fatty Lu laughed, pointing to the main force of the Qing army who was gathering in the distance and said with a smile: "See? The front of Mangou is open, which is good for our army.  A strong attack, with mountains and forests on the back, is not conducive to the retreat and transfer of Mangou. In the words of military books, the terrain where the main force of Mangou is located is called hanging shape. There is no choice but to defeat our army from the front.  Retreat, that is a dead end! Originally, I only planned to send reinforcements around Huzhou to try to eliminate the main force of Man Gou, but now Man Gou has become a deadly enemy, giving us a chance to wipe them all out, can I not be happy?"

    "Really?" Xiao Erlang was skeptical¡ªeven though Xiao Erlang had been with Fatty Lu for the longest time, he had no talent in military ability and hadn't learned anything at all.

    "The general is right. The main force of the dog is backed by the Tianmu Mountains. It is easy to enter and difficult to exit. It is indeed a dangerous place." Reminded by Fatty Lu, Wang Xu next to him also saw the embarrassment of the Qing army's position, and nodded in agreement.  : "It is estimated that the Mangou coach Laita has also discovered this, but a large number of his troops have already entered the Jedi, and ordering a retreat now is courting death, so we have to bite the bullet and continue to enter this Jedi, and gamble with us."

    "General, in such a situation, our army should act first!" Han Yuanren quickly suggested: "The formation of Mangou has not been completed yet, and our army can launch an assault first to disrupt Mangou's formation."  Otherwise, once Mangou has set up a strong formation, it will be difficult for our army to defeat the enemy if it is fighting against the water and fighting to the death."

    "No." Fatty Lu quickly vetoed, "We have never had any experience in large-scale battles with Zhejiang Mangou. We don't know the situation of Zhejiang Mangou very well. If we don't know the enemy's situation and attack rashly, it will be too late to regret if we find something wrong. Besides.  Hong Chen said just now that the team of dogs he encountered was very powerful and made him suffer a little, so we can't just take risks."

    "That's right, the fighting power of the dog-man army I encountered was really great." Gao Hongchen echoed: "I fought with me for half an hour in a narrow area, and injured dozens of my brothers. They should be the first-line elite of the man dog."

    The cavalry under Gao Hongchen's command is the frontline elite of the fat army. He said so, and the other generals of the fat army did not dare to underestimate the enemy. They all nodded in agreement and agreed to adopt a cautious strategy.  After a little calculation, Fatty Lu immediately ordered: "Let's do this, Hong Chen, you go to the right wing of our army, where the terrain is the most open, suitable for your cavalry to play. Yuan Ren is in charge of the right wing infantry, Xiaoyong, you command the rocket team  Together with the artillery team, Wang Xu and Hu Tongchun, you will command the Chinese army with me, and you are ready for orders at any time." The fat men and the lackeys agreed together, and hurried back to their respective positions to restrain the troops and prepare for the decisive battle with the Qing army in Zhejiang.

    At the same time, the flag formation of the Qing army was on Shihui Mountain, and Wang Xu¡¯s unfortunate words said that Laita, the coach of the Qing army in Zhejiang, was indeed biting the bullet and preparing for this decisive battle. A large number of Qing troops had already entered the open area north of Shihui Mountain.  The terrain and the retreat route are very narrow. If you order a retreat, you will definitely not be able to retreat quickly, and it will only give the Fatty Army a godsend opportunity to take advantage of the fire.  So there was no other way, even though the preparations for the main force's decisive battle were obviously insufficient, Laita could only bite the bullet and fight this decisive battle.  But fortunately, Laita, who has been a half-life soldier, can also be seen at a glance.?? test.

    "Huh? Man dogs dare to attack the front of my rocket array?!" Fatty Lu was really taken aback when he saw that the infantry of the Qing army dared to attack the front of our own army. Since the Battle of Anshun, Fatty Lu still  Never encountered such a thing ah.  Nervous and frightened, Fatty Lu hurriedly shouted: "It must be an elite soldier full of dogs! A dead soldier in the battle! Two thousand three-way rockets, boom!"

    The order was conveyed, and more than four hundred fat army rocket vehicles of different sizes rushed forward, and the fireproof and waterproof asbestos cloth on the rocket vehicles was lifted off, revealing the Miyoshi rockets shining with tung oil, aiming densely at the shouting  Qing army infantry team.  However, before the Fat Army Rocket Team ignited, the shouts of the Qing Army Wang Tingmei's team, which was still in high morale just now, stopped abruptly, and everyone was dumbfounded, and many people screamed, "Oh my god! Wu Gou  How come there are so many Miyoshi rockets? We are dead!"

    "My God, run!" It was Wang Tingmei, the deputy general of the Qing army who yelled this slogan. Seeing thousands of Miyoshi rockets aimed at him, General Wang Tingmei peed in his crotch.

    "My God! Why does Wu Gou have so many Sanhao rockets?!" At the same time, Laita, Fei Yelen and his son, as well as countless generals of the Qing army with binoculars, screamed at the same time.  Suo Suo was only willing to give up one or two hundred Sanhao rockets¡ªtwenty taels of silver each, would Geng Jingzhong, the poorest of the San Francisco, afford it?  But the Zhejiang Qing army has suffered enough. The spectacular sight of thousands of Mihao rockets being blasted out in one battle, the Zhejiang Qing army has not only seen and heard of it, but also dared not even think about it!

    "So that's how it is!" Watching the battle carefully, Yao Qisheng, who had been silent for a long time, finally realized, "No wonder our Qing army lost so badly in front of Wu Gou, and all our Qing soldiers in Zhejiang were surprised. So we  They are all frogs in the well! I thought that the firearms of Geng Jingzhong's bandit army were almost the same as those of Wu Sangui's bandit army. If our opponent Geng Jingzhong's bandit was replaced by Wu Sangui's old bandit, or Lu Yifeng's bandit, we  The Zhejiang army, heh, I don¡¯t know how many times the entire army has been wiped out.¡±

    "Huh? Why did Mangou turn around and run away?" Seeing that the Qing army's charging soldiers who were still aggressive just now suddenly turned around and ran away, Fatty Lu was confused at first, and then he immediately understood, and immediately cursed: "Fuck! I finally  I understand, Zhejiang Mangou has been fighting Geng Jingzhong before, how many new firearms Geng Jingzhong can buy at a super high price, he would rather spend his life than use rockets! Mangou thinks Geng Jingzhong's rockets and Lao Tzu  The rockets are almost the same, so of course I dare to charge in front of Lao Tzu! Do it! I was almost scared to death by Man Gou!"

    "Ah! Terrible! Erlang, send an order quickly, five hundred rockets are enough! Don't waste"

    The iron rooster Lu Fatty hadn't finished his tense orders, there was already roaring sound in front of Fatty's army, and thousands of Mihao rockets whizzed out, dragging gunpowder smoke, overwhelmingly rushing towards the fleeing Qing army infantry.  Immediately afterwards, before the first wave of rockets exploded, the second wave of hundreds of Miyoshi rockets roared out.  Fatty Lu's desperate screams of beating his chest and feet have already echoed under the banner of the Fatty Army

    "Xiaoyong, you prodigal son! Thousands of taels of silver, you gave up all at once¡ª!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote on  Recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation.) (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com

    ?

    "Xiaoyong, you, you prodigal son! Thousands of taels of silver, you wiped them all out at once! You treat your cousin as a local rich man¡ª?!"

    No matter how desperate the iron rooster Lu Fatty howled, it was useless. The Sanhao rocket built by the Fatty Army with a lot of money, under the command of Lu Fatty's prodigal cousin Qin Yong, smashed the sky and overwhelming the team that was already fleeing Zhejiang Qing Army Deputy General Wang Tingmei.  Immediately afterwards, the deafening sound of continuous explosions also echoed on the battlefield where the Fat Man Army and the main force of the Qing Army confronted each other.

    The spectacular scene of thousands of rockets launching at the same time really opened the eyes of the bumpkins in the Qing army in Zhejiang who were used to bullying Geng Jingzhong's army.  With the tail flame white smoke, raindrops and hail penetrated into their infantry ranks, continuously bursting out terrifying flames, while waves of blood spattered violently in their infantry ranks, flesh and blood remains and weapon flags were flying all over the sky, gunpowder smoke and  The sky was covered with dust, the earth-shattering explosion shook the mountains and the ground trembled, the fierce wind blew a hundred paces away and still hurt the face, and the flag waved abruptly.

    The 2,000 Miyoshi rockets were all fired within half a minute, but it took nearly half an hour for the smoke from the explosion to be blown away by the mountain wind.  , It was already a scene like Shura¡¯s hell. On the battlefield after being covered by rockets and bombed, there was hardly a Qing soldier who could stand.  The soldiers of the Qing army who were seriously injured and waiting to die were moaning and begging dying in the wreckage of flesh and blood, and the soldiers of the Qing army who were still able to move rolled and crawled in the sea of ??corpses and blood.  Numb.

    In a few minutes, more than half of the 5,000 Qing infantrymen were killed or injured, and less than a thousand people escaped back to the battle alive, but most of them were deaf and panicked. Thirty rockets snatched from Geng Jingzhong  The launch vehicle was also bombed to pieces, and it was hard to find a trace. Fei Yelen, the son of Laita who was in charge of commanding the rocket team, and Wang Tingmei, the commander of the Qing army, were also killed on the spot.  His body was smashed to pieces, and there was no bones left.

    Seeing such a scene, the Fat Army's side naturally cheered like thunder, and their morale was bursting. On the Qing Army's side, the whole army was stunned, their morale and fighting spirit disappeared. The Qing Army's coach Laita sat back on his chair  Looking up, his expression was so desperate that it was unbearable to see, and there was only one thought left in his heart, "It's over! The gap in firearms between us and Wu Gou is too big!"

    "Da Zhou! Da Zhou! Da Zhou!" Amidst the rhythmic cheers of the fat man's soldiers, Fatty Lu yelled again, "Fuck your mother's Zhejiang Mangou! You have been so stupid and weak after doing this for a long time, I should have known  You are not even worthy of carrying shoes for Aobai, Tuhai, Yue Le and Xiergen! I should have gone straight to Hangzhou long ago!"

    "The general is right, we overestimate Zhejiang Mangou!" Wang Xu hastily flattered and agreed, "We were just scaring ourselves before, thinking that Zhejiang Mangou was as cunning as the Mangou we met before.  , just as powerful, completely forgetting that this gang of dogs can't even destroy Geng Jingzhong's second-rate army, and the real strength should not be worthy of shining our shoes."

    "Brother Lu, Man Gou has been scared stupid by us!" The fierce general Hu Tongchun shouted: "It should be a general attack, rush up, and wipe out Man Gou!"

    "That's right, it was a waste of time just now!" Fatty Lu nodded, and finally admitted that he had made a big mistake before, being too cautious and wasting a lot of ammunition.  After a little calculation, Fatty Lu shouted: "Hutongchun, An Jiarong listens!"

    "The end is here!" General Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong agreed at the same time.

    "Hutongchun led three thousand infantry soldiers, and An Jiarong led the headquarter's gill soldiers." Fatty Lu pointed to the front, and shouted vigorously: "Surprise from the front, let me kill the Man Gou formation all the way through, and kill Man Gou behind.  Seize the official road to block it! Block Man Gou's escape route, and force Man Gou to flee for his life on the mountain path!"

    "Decree!" Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong shouted in agreement at the same time, and rushed down to organize the team to attack.  Fatty Lu turned to Xiao Erlang next to him again, and ordered: "Erlang, go and send an order to Xiaoyong, let him lead the rocket team to cooperate with Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong to attack, and then use two thousand rockets to bombard the front of the Mangou formation, and send it to our army.  Raiders blast the way!"

    "Decree!" Xiao Erlang also rushed out of the team. Fatty Lu grabbed another soldier casually and ordered him to send an order to Gao Hongchen's cavalry to get ready to attack. If there is any change in the cavalry of the Qing army, there is no need to ask for instructions.  Attack, bite the Qing army cavalry, so as to prevent the Qing army cavalry from going back and harassing the back and flanks of the Fatty Army's trapped team, and ordering the soldiers to gallop away on horseback.

    After a while, the news that the Fatty Army's teams were ready to attack was sent back to the flag formation, and Fatty Lu waved his hand.The sneak attack on Yixing was a bad idea given to Laita by a traitor surnamed Yao.  Also, Laita seems to still appreciate that traitor surnamed Yao, and this time he brought him to the Yixing battlefield and asked him to serve as a staff officer.  "

    "Yao what? Does he know the name?" Fatty Lu pouted at the prisoner of war.  Yitanbu hurriedly turned back to ask again, and after getting the answer, Yitanbu hurriedly said again: "General, this prisoner of war doesn't understand Chinese very well, he only knows that the traitor's surname is Yao, but he doesn't know his specific name. But he remembers that  The official position of the prisoner of war is the business of Zhejiang Wen Chudao."

    "Just know the official position and surname." Fatty Lu nodded in satisfaction, and ordered: "Itanbu, you take this prisoner down to apply medicine to treat his wounds, and reward him with some wine and food. If he wants to go, let him go. If he doesn't want to  Go and make it into your team."

    Itanbu agreed, and quickly asked the prisoner to thank Fatty Lu, and then led the men to carry the prisoner out of the big tent.  Only then did Fatty Lu give orders to Xiao Erlang: "Erlang, ask the cook to bring in the food and drink. Also, send someone to the Mangou prisoner of war to find out the name of that Yao Wen Chudao."

    Xiao Erlang agreed, and quickly conveyed the two orders. In a short while, the food and wine were brought into the big tent. Fatty Lu, Wang Xu and others, who were so hungry that their chests were already on their backs, politely said a few words, and immediately settled the case together.  While he was munching, Xiao Erlang returned to the big tent, cupped his hands to Fatty Lu and said, "Master, I have sent people to ask the captured Mangou prisoners of war, and they confessed that the traitor surnamed Yao should be  It's called Yao Qisheng."

    "Yao Qisheng?!" The chopsticks in Fatty Lu's hands fell to the ground, and his fat face showed a nervous look¡ªKang Mazi's full-scale counterattack may come at any time, and Yao Qisheng appeared behind the self-army at this time, which is not good news.

    "General, what's wrong with you?" Wang Xu and other fat army generals were taken aback.

    "Noit's nothing." Fatty Lu waved his hand, thought for a while, and immediately turned to Wang Shaobo next to him and shouted, "Shaobo, write a letter for me immediately, and tell Yao Qisheng, who is full of dogs, Wen Chudao"  Thanks to him for luring the main force of Zhejiang Mangou to Yixing to throw himself into the trap, I decided to designate him as the chief envoy of Zhejiang Province in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and reward him with five thousand taels of silver, and I have sent a messenger to report to the prince to ask for credit for him. Let  He continues to lurk beside Laita, waiting for new orders at any time."

    "Understood." Wang Shaobo quickly agreed, and asked again: "Boss, how do we let this letter fall into Laita's hands?"

    "Write it first and then talk about how to deliver it to Laita. Let me figure out a way." Fatty Lu replied.  (To be continued.

    (ps: The end of the month is coming soon, ask for a monthly ticket and a reward!)

    After resting in Jiapu Town for a day, Fatty Lu used the excuse of cleaning up the battlefield and clearing up the remnants of the Qing army, leaving behind the Guangxi general Huang Ming, who was married to Yuer as a dowry, and led an army of more than 4,000 people to guard Yixing to protect the army's food roads and rear.  On the way, Guo Yingfu, the former general of Yixing, was appointed as the general of Huzhou, and Guo Yingfu was ordered to follow the army. He dispatched 24,000 troops, including surrendered troops, and marched southward along the official road. The blade pointed directly at the remnants of the Qing army in Zhejiang.  The capital city of Huzhou is entrenched.

    ¡ª¡ªBy the way, of course, Fatty Lu promoted Old Man Wu Jun because of his rich experience and great responsibilities, but he took the opportunity to free up his position and focus on promoting the confidantes brought by the mistress's dowry, which also prompted Fatty Lu to make this personnel adjustment  important reason.  As for the deeper reason, I believe everyone knows it without explaining it.

    On the night of the first day, because Changxing County was less than ten miles away from Jiapu Town, the Zhejiang Qing army, led by Laita, had already abandoned Changxing County, which had little food in the city, and retreated overnight under the cover of night.  Went to Huzhou Fucheng.  And the Fatty Army has just experienced a big battle after days of rushing, and they are very tired up and down. There are still some remnants of the Qing army in the Tianmu Mountains that have not been completely wiped out, and all the supplies, food and grass have not yet been transported through the Tianmu Mountains. Fatty Lu  They had no choice but to give up their plan to pursue the whole army, and only sent Wang Xu as the vanguard, leading an army of 5,000 to follow and chase the remnants of the Qing army.  Only then did he personally lead the army south to pursue it.

    After sharpening the knife and chopping firewood by mistake, Fatty Lu defied all opinions and let the main force rest for a day. After regaining their physical strength, the main force of the Fatty Army marched at a much faster speed. It took only one day to complete the journey from Jiapu Town to Huzhou Fucheng.  Sixty miles of road, the soldiers approached the city of Huzhou.  He also arrogantly set up the camp near Lashan Mountain, which is less than five miles away from the west city wall of Huzhou, and lived directly within the range of the red cannons of the defenders of Huzhou City.  Zhong has already lost all the artillery, and the artillery battle can only be beaten, and there is no way to fight back.

    Before the Fatty Army arrived in Huzhou, Wang Xu, the vanguard of the Fatty Army, was not idle. Although he did not launch a large-scale attack on the way to chase the defeated Qing army, he followed the Qing army behind like a jackal chasing a flock of sheep.  Xi bit his tongue and kept attacking the small groups of the Qing army that were lagging behind due to exhaustion, encircling and annihilating them all, accumulating small amounts and continuously expanding the results, so that the defeated Qing army had no chance to breathe. As a result, it was more than 50 miles from Changxing to Huzhou  After the pursuit of the road, Wang Xuling killed more than 2,000 Qing troops, leaving Laita to flee back to Huzhou Fucheng with less than 8,000 remnants of the defeated generals. He didn't even have the courage to organize the Huzhou people around the city to join the battle  However, Wang Xu's troops, who were not as powerful as their own army, were yelling and cursing outside the city, but they just closed the city and defended it.

    "Lu Yifeng, you dog thief! You're so fucking arrogant!" Seeing Fatty Lu set up his camp in the area of ??Lashan on the city wall, Laita was so angry that he wanted to strangle Fatty Lu to death.  "If Lao Tzu's Hongyi Cannon is still there, I will kill you, you bastard!"

    "General, Wu Gou pitched the camp so close, I'm afraid he wanted to capture Huzhou City as soon as possible, and didn't want to give us a chance to ask for help from the rear." Xifu asked tremblingly: "What should our army do next?  , I hope the general will make up his mind as soon as possible."

    "Do you still need to make up your mind? Of course you are defending!" Laita roared angrily, "Huzhou is an important town in northern Zhejiang and an important granary. Is it possible to abandon it? I have sent messengers to Hangzhou and Jiaxing  Call for help, as long as you hold on for seven or eight days, our reinforcements will arrive!"

    After drinking away the cowardly Xifu who wanted to flee, Laita turned his gaze to Wu Qi, the prefect of Huzhou, and Cheng Long, the guard next to him, and shouted: "How many troops are there in Huzhou City now? How many people can you organize to go to the city to help?"

    "General, there are nearly 3,000 defenders in Huzhou City." Cheng Long peeked at Laita's face, and replied carefully: "But there are only more than 1,800 green battalion soldiers, and the rest are the prefect Wu.  My lord recruited and organized the village braves before."

    "It's not bad. Even if the combat power is not good, at least you can fight on the city wall." Laita sighed secretly, and turned his attention to the prefect Wu Qi.  Wu Qi understood, bowed quickly and said: "Back to the general, there are more than 40,000 residents in the city, and they should be able to recruit more than 10,000 civilians to help in the battle. However, because the autumn grain has just entered the warehouse, the grain and grass in the city are enough for more than a year.  General, please don't worry."

    "Very good, then quickly take your yamen servants to recruit civilian husbands, the more the better." Laita waved his hand and said: "Their rations will be paid from the Huzhou government treasury for the time being, and I will give them to you after the Wu dogs are defeated."  Also, tell the people in the city that after Wu Gou broke the city, he likes to kill people, rob money, rape and plunder.??I was looking for you everywhere, fortunately I was there at the time, and I happened to see you entering that inn this evening, so I quickly sent Liu Hailang to pick you up here.  "

    "What?!" Yao Qisheng and his son jumped up together, and were dumbfounded again, thinking that Lu Yifeng's dog thief wrote me a reply?  Betrayed to Laita by my former soldiers?  Here and there?

    "Master Yao, please don't worry, you are safe." Wu Qi obviously misunderstood the reaction of Yao Qisheng and his son, but she just smiled and said: "I'm afraid Lai Ta Man Gou would never have imagined that now you will be in the yamen of the prefect of Huzhou, and you will still be with me."  The prefect of Huzhou is sitting together. And how to get out of the city, Master Yao, please rest assured, you have been an official in Huzhou for many years, and you are more or less half a local snake. Naturally, there is a way for you to leave the city without anyone noticing."

    "Master Wu, why did you help our father and son?" Yao Qisheng finally came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "You and I have never met each other. Why did you take such a big risk to save our father and son?"

    "Master Yao, have you ever heard of the name Wu Weiye?" Wu Qi asked calmly.

    "Wu Weiye?" Yao Qisheng was taken aback, and asked quickly, "Could it be that Mr. Wu Jun who would rather die than eat rice? Wumei Village?"

    "He is my uncle." Wu Qi said lightly: "Uncle, the thing that the old man regrets most in his life is that when Man Gou Shunzhi was ten years old, he couldn't stand Man Gou's threat and his family's begging, so he served Man Gou for several years.  Official, I have been a running dog for several years, and lost the evening festival. My unworthy nephew is even more useless. I became a tribute student of Man Gou in the second year of Shunzhi.  I am truly regretful.¡±

    Speaking of this, Wu Qi's tone suddenly became agitated, and she gritted her teeth and said: "But, although I am a dog for Man Gou, but like my uncle, my greatest wish in life is to expel the Tartars and reshape our country.  Save the Han people from the fire and water! I only hope that among my Chinese men, there will be a true hero, a good man, who will lead our Han people to prosper the Han and destroy the Manchus, fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.  The power! Now, my chance has finally come!"

    As she said that, Wu Qi suddenly knelt down to Yao Qisheng, took out a letter from her arms, raised her hands above her head, and said in a deep voice: "Master Yao, I know you are from General Lu Yifeng Lu, please send me a letter."  Give this letter to General Lu, and then please tell General Lu that Wu Qi, the sinner of China, is willing to make atonement for his crimes and act as an internal response for him, helping him break through Huzhou and save the people of Huzhou from suffering! Wu Qi's heart can be proved by the world, the sun and the moon  It can be learned!"

    Yao Qisheng was tongue-tied, staring at Wu Qi's thin face full of enthusiasm and sincerity, Yao Qisheng suddenly had a thought in his heart, "That's great, if I dedicate my traitor and his letter to General Laita, my grievances will definitely be cleared up."  Qing Dynasty, General Laita and the Qing court will definitely trust and reuse me again!" (To be continued.

    "Great, if I dedicate my traitor and his letter to General Laita, my grievances will definitely be cleared, and General Laita and the Qing court will definitely trust and reuse me again!"

    This despicable thought flashed through Yao Qisheng's mind, but before he got excited, he sank down quickly, because Yao Qisheng knew that he was too optimistic, who framed him now, how did he frame him, what exactly  I have framed myself to that point, and so far I don't know anything about it, even if this will betray Wu Qi, the traitorous prefect who eats inside and outside, even if the gang of mite state eight banners headed by Laita don't doubt that he is abandoning him.  I am afraid that the pawn may not immediately reinstate himself, but he will definitely torture him carefully and interrogate him slowly. When he has completely proved his innocence, he no longer knows what year it will be.

    "Father, what should I do?" Yao Yi tugged at the corner of Yao Qisheng's clothes, cleverly asked ambiguously, and even gave Yao Qisheng a sneaky wink. It was obvious that Yao Qisheng, the son of a hardcore traitor, was also planning to betray Wu Qi.

    Yao Qisheng didn't answer, but was nervous and quickly calculated the pros and cons. If he betrayed Wu Qi now, he might be able to regain the trust of the Qing court immediately, or it might take time;  Huzhou is short-sighted, and it is absolutely impossible to accept his suggestion of abandoning Huzhou and retreating to Hangzhou. Huzhou, which has no hope of holding on for a long time, is still doomed to be breached by Wu's rebel army.  Miserably, with Lu Yifeng's treacherous, vicious and ruthless dog thief, he can definitely do the thing of digging out his father and son's hearts and sacrifices to rape Wu Qi!  It is very dangerous to betray Wu Qi, a traitor, so it is better

    "Master Yao, do you refuse to believe Wu Qi?" Seeing Yao Qisheng's silence for a long time, the idiot Wu Qi thought that Yao Qisheng still refused to believe her, so she simply took out a dagger from her sleeve, stretched out her left index finger,  Gritting her teeth, she said, "If Lord Yao refuses to believe in Wu Qi's sincerity anyway, Wu Qi is willing to give up her will!"

    Saying that, Wu Qi was really foolishly wielding the dagger to cut off her own finger, and Yao Qisheng finally made up his mind and quickly grabbed Wu Qi's right hand, but the dagger still cut on the finger, cutting a deep cut, and sprinkled a little blood on it.  It is full of Wu Qi's letter dedicated to the city.  Yao Qisheng secretly scolded a hard-core rebel, and then said hypocritically: "Master Wu, you must not do this. Yao Qisheng understands your heart anyway. Please rest assured, Master Wu. When Yao returns to the Dazhou military camp, he will definitely ask Lu  The general expresses your sincerity anyway, and thank you for your rescue."

    "In that case, I would like to thank Master Yao." Wu Qi was overjoyed, and quickly thanked him: "Master Yao, please tell General Lu that the local township braves are all recruited by subordinate officials.  Xiaguan's wife and brother, as long as General Lu starts to attack the city, Xiaguan and his wife and brother will immediately find a way to open the city gate and welcome the general's army into the city!"

    "Damn, this traitor is so bad, it seems that he has been holding back for a day or two." Yao Qisheng cursed inwardly, but said with a smile on his mouth: "Wu Zhifu has really thoughtful arrangements, and when the work is done, I believe you will be able to do so."  The general will definitely reward you heavily, and will definitely report to the Great Zhou Prince to add officials to the prefect of Wu."

    "Wu Qi doesn't ask for a reward, but only asks that my Da Zhou army can expel Manchu as soon as possible, and revive our Daming country." Wu Qi replied excitedly, then quickly turned around and brought two sets of clothes from the corner of the room, and said: "Master Yao, Yao  Young master, please feel wronged, first change into the clothes of the officials, the officials have already arranged the way for you to leave the city, you can leave the city at any time."

    "How to get out of the city?" Yao Yi asked quickly.

    "The Tongzhi yamen of Huzhou Prefecture is in Wuzhen. I just sent a batch of military rations to Wuzhen some time ago, and I haven't had time to ship them away."  Using this as an excuse, he asked Lai Tamangou for a warrant to leave the city, and planned to send several messengers out of the city overnight to Wuzhen, ordering Huzhou Tongzhi to ship the general grain to Jiaxing or Hangzhou as soon as possible, so as not to fall into the hands of the Zhou army.  In fact, I plan to send a few confidantes out of the city to contact the general and hand over the letter to the city. Lai Taman believed it was true, so he really gave me this warrant. After a while, I will let Liu Hailang take the warrant to take you out of the city by the east gate.  Surely no problem."

    "Man Gou is hunting our father and son all over the city, can we really get out of the city?" Yao Qisheng asked worriedly.

    "Absolutely no problem." Wu Qi replied with a smile: "Tonight's guarding the east gate is Huzhou General Manager Xu Wei. He has a lot of friendship with me. Seeing that I sent someone out of the city, he will definitely not make things difficult."

    Yao Qisheng stopped talking, and gave his son a wink, and changed into the clothes of the yamen servants of the prefect of Huzhou together. Wu Qi called Liu Hailang in again, asked him to change into the clothes of the yamen servants, and then gave him the pagoda  issued a warrant to leave the city, let him lead the.  "

    "Okay!" Fatty Lu was overjoyed, he quickly got up and supported Yao Qisheng, and laughed loudly: "I got Mr. Yao, just like Gao Zu got Han Xin, Tai Zu got Liu Ji, great things are done!"

    ?He talked with Yao Qisheng and his son for a long time. When the sky was dark, the banquet was just over. Fatty Lu asked his soldiers to take Yao Qisheng and others down to change clothes and rest. Yao Qisheng and others thanked them and left.  It was also at this time that Wang Shaobo reminded Fatty Lu: "Boss, Yao Qisheng is good at speculating, and he was foolish and loyal before. If he is poor, he may not be reliable."

    "It doesn't matter, let's use it first. If he really has a different heart, I can kill him." Fatty Lu replied bluntly: "But now, whether he really surrenders or not, I must use him again, otherwise, there will be more in the future."  Who dares to vote for me? Han Gaozu can make Han Xin the king of Qi, Zhu Yuanzhang can accept the surrender of the Mongolian butcher, and even Huang Taiji Mangou can make Zu Dashou rebel and surrender. Since I have the ambition of the world, I must have the world  In other words, we will have to meet a lot of people like him in the future.¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 313: Mischievous Lu Sanhao

    ?

    (ps: Ask for a monthly ticket, the monthly ticket score is too dismal, friends, please vote for the pure and loyal wolf for the second monthly ticket.)

    In the first year of the puppet Zhou Dynasty and the thirteenth year of Kangmazi in the Qing Dynasty, on October 20th, at about the same time in the morning, the Wu rebel army falsely conquered the Eastern General Lu Yifeng. He personally led 24,000 Wu rebel troops and marched towards the northern Zhejiang Province controlled by the Qing soldiers.  The important town of Huzhou Fucheng launched a full-scale attack. Our Qing soldiers guarded the city. General Pingnan Laita came to the front line to supervise the formation, urging the Qing soldiers to fight bravely, shed their blood, and bravely resist the shameless attack of the Wu rebel army!

    The above are all empty words. The specific situation of the battle is like this. Fatty Lu, who has always been careful and careful, has never thought about the old methods of using ladders to attack the city and the Qing army¡¯s consumption on the city wall. Instead, he learned about Huzhou from the surrounding Huzhou people.  After the city wall was constructed with bricks and rammed earth, the southwest section of Huzhou, which had been in disrepair for a long time, was chosen as the breakthrough point. More than 200 light and heavy artillery were lined up, and the concentrated firepower was used to violently bombard the city wall with solid shells.  The hard city bricks were completely smashed, and then they were replaced with blooming shells containing three good explosives, and concentrated firepower to blast the rammed earth inside the city wall.

    As for the army, they were arranged by Fatty Lu outside the south gate and west gate of Huzhou, leaving the north and east gates for the Qing army to escape. He also sent Gao Hongchen to lead the fat man's cavalry to ambush on the only way from Huzhou to Jiaxing.  Breakout to the east.

    Facts have proved that the new siege tactics that Fatty Lu tried are indeed effective in dealing with Huzhou's brick-and-rammed-earth city walls.  Easily crush three or four city bricks, and the second shot hits this position, and these few city bricks can be completely blasted into pieces, revealing the hidden rammed earth behind them.  And more than 200 artillery pieces aimed at one position as much as possible and bombarded, seven or eight rounds of volleys were fired, and the city wall bricks about 20 to 30 meters wide were blasted into a state of sand and stone, and a huge blast was blasted on the city wall.  deep pit.

    Seeing that the time had come, Fatty Lu, who personally directed the artillery battle, decisively ordered to replace it with blooming shells, and continued to attack the city with heavy artillery.  As a result, the few lackeys of Fatty Lu next to him were puzzled, and they asked Fatty Lu one after another: "General, didn't our officers agree to open the city gate to welcome us into the city? Why are we so wasteful?"  Siege with precious ammunition? This is your usual style, General."

    "This is a rare opportunity. I have to try how effective this tactic is against the city wall." Fatty Lu replied bluntly: "We may use it when we attack Beijing in the future. The Beijing city wall also has the same structure.  Rammed earth."

    "The Beijing city wall also has such a structure?" Wang Shaobo was a little surprised, and quickly asked: "Master, when you were in Beijing, did you dig up the Beijing city wall and see it?"

    "No, a guy named Liang Sicheng told me." Fatty Lu replied casually again.

    "Liang Sicheng? What kind of official is he in Beijing? Could it be that he is also your boss?" Wang Shaobo asked pleasantly.  Fatty Lu rolled his eyes when he heard this, and thought that even if Liang Qichao's son wanted to be my internal assistant, he would not be born until at least a few hundred years later.

    At this time, Fatty Lu's eldest cousin, Qin Yong, had already commanded the Fatty Army's artillery team to replace all of them with blooming shells, and concentrated their firepower to continue bombarding the Huzhou City Wall. Amidst the sound of rumbling explosions, the Huzhou City Wall continued to glow, sand and gravel were flying, and the top was crumbling.  The guards of the Qing army who were so frightened that they could only fight back after being beaten on the city wall screamed and ran away from their posts. Occasionally, a few shells that were not adjusted to the height flew over the city wall and flew into the city, blowing up the residents in the city.  Not to mention, Fatty Lu's scolding was unavoidable, accusing Fatty Army gunners of being prodigal and wasting ammunition.

    Under the bombardment of such fierce fat army artillery fire, the Qing army's previous determination to defend the city had long since flew out of the sky. Before they met opponents such as Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing, all the artillery combined was not as strong as the fat army  This attack used a lot of artillery, coupled with the terrifying power of the fat man's shells loaded with three good explosives, the Qing army defending the city was even more desperate to give up any hope.  So much so that even senior generals of the Qing army like Xifu, the vice capital commander, ran to the Qing army coach Laita and screamed in despair: "General, Wu Gou's artillery is too powerful! If you keep bombing like this, don't say  If you stick to it for a long time, whether you can survive today is probably a big question!"

    Laita glared at the panic-stricken Xifu, and shouted: "Stand up straight, what are you talking about? Don't forget that you are the deputy commander of the capital with a white flag. What if you say such a thing and shake the morale of the army?"

    After scolding and scolding, Laita inevitably began to regret in his heart. He regretted not listening to Yao Qisheng's earnest words, giving up Huzhou and retreating to Hangzhou.  Repair and reinforcement, the ability to resist artillery is far above the Huzhou city wall, and it is entirely hopeful that it can compete with Fatty Lu's artillery for a long time, far better than the old city wall.It is to weaken Zhejiang Mangou. If we can rob Hangzhou City of Mangou's military equipment, food and grass, can we further weaken Zhejiang Mangou?  From now on, does the general need to worry about the threat from the southern front?  "

    Wang Shaobo was in a hurry, and when he was about to persuade him again, Fatty Lu raised his fat hand to stop him, and said in a deep voice, "It's decided, fight Hangzhou! Shaobo, you should write to Li Tianzhi immediately and tell him the next move of the main force of our army."  , Let him send a mobile army to monitor Jiaxing Mangou and protect our army's retreat!"

    "Master, the city of Hangzhou is solid, far from being comparable to Huzhou." Wang Shaobo hurriedly reminded again: "If our army can't break through the city after a long attack under the city of Hangzhou, and there is a sudden change in the rear, what should our army do?"

    "I only have half a month of food and grass, and I won't be able to attack Hangzhou within half a month. I will withdraw my troops and return to Huzhou immediately!" Fatty Lu waved his hand resolutely, and suddenly changed into a lewd smile, and said: "Besides, I will  It's time to bring my little wife back, I really don't know what she looks like, is she as beautiful as in the legend?"

    "Little wife?" Yao Qisheng was a little confused, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it. He just smiled and said: "General, if you want to successfully break through the strong city of Hangzhou, then the student has a plan, which may increase your chances of winning."

    "Mr. Yao please advise." Fatty Lu asked hurriedly.

    "The general broke through Huzhou today, and he will definitely capture many prisoners. Why don't the general?" Yao Qisheng said with a treacherous smile.

    "Brilliant plan!" Before Yao Qisheng could finish with a smirk, Fatty Lu applauded and said with a smile, "Erlang, immediately send someone to the captive team to recruit them to surrender, and pick out dozens or hundreds of obedient and greedy people, with good wine and good food."  welcome¡ª¡ªbut remember, don't cut their braids, and don't make them change their clothes."

    Xiao Erlang agreed, and hurried down to make arrangements, while Yao Qisheng murmured in his heart again, "This Lu Sanhao, what kind of bad water should he have in his stomach? Why did he guess what I was up to just as soon as I raised my head?"  (To be continued.

 Chapter 314 Two million words of testimonials

    ?

    Originally, Pure Wolf has always disliked single-chapter nonsense. He always felt that he would ask his friends for this or that if he didn't have any dry goods. The wolf's face was ashamed and he couldn't open his wolf mouth.

    But when the book "The Disaster of the Qing Dynasty" reached two million words, the pure wolf really couldn't hold back, because the pure wolf really wanted to write this book well and finish it carefully. I'm sorry for everyone's real money  Friends who subscribe are also worthy of friends who have been supporting Pure Wolf for the past year.

    Indeed, Pure Wolf also discovered afterwards that the beginning of "The Disaster of the Qing Dynasty" was not well written, the rhythm was not well grasped, and the relaxation was out of order, which made many old friends no longer support Pure Wolf. This is indeed the reason for Pure Wolf itself  , can't blame anyone.  I am also very grateful to all the friends who supported "The Disaster of the Qing Dynasty" from the beginning to the end. Without your support, Pure Wolf might not be able to persevere.

    However, what Pure Wolf can have a clear conscience is that "The Harm to the Qing Dynasty" is the book written by the Pure Wolf with the most care. From the notes in the book, friends can see that the pure wolf is looking up for "The Harm to the Qing Dynasty".  How much information was collected, how much effort was put in, and how much sincerity was used.

    Two versions were originally prepared for "The Great Qing Dynasty", one is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom version, and the other is the San Francisco Rebellion version. The reason why I chose the second one is because many friends asked Pure Wolf to continue writing Wu Yingxiong, and vowed to support the original version.  .  The sincerity of love and the depth of meaning made Pure Wolf feel embarrassed not to continue writing, so in order to make up for the regrets of friends, Pure Wolf gave up the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom version repeatedly and chose to rewrite the San Francisco Rebellion.

    It's just that the chaste wolf didn't expect that "The Scourge of the Qing Dynasty", which was written with more heart and sincerity, would be so dismal in terms of grades!

    ?Is it true that no friends like "The Scourge of the Qing Dynasty"?  Shouldn't it be?  Looking at the number of clicks on the pirated posts of "The Scourge of the Qing Dynasty", even if one in ten of the friends who watched the pirates supported the genuine version, the score of "The Scourge of the Qing Dynasty" would not be the same number, right?

    Genuine copies are not expensive, high-level VIPs are only two cents per thousand words, junior VIPs are only three cents per thousand words, the average chapter of Pure Wolf is six thousand words, and junior VIP subscriptions are only ten cents less than two cents per chapter.  Money - With the current level of consumption, if you see 20 cents on the road, do those friends who watch theft have the nerve to bend down to pick it up?

    What's more, the price is even cheaper to subscribe with a mobile phone!

    The number of words in the contract for "The Harm of the Qing Dynasty" is between 2.4 million and 2.6 million words. If the score is good, it can be extended.

    Two million words, limited to the current plot development, Pure Wolf intends to apply for an extension, but seeing the results, it is really uncertain whether Pure Wolf can pass.

    I just hope that those friends who watch Pirates can also try their best to support the original version, and spend a little 20 cents for a chapter to help Pure Wolf continue "The Scourge of the Great Qing".

    I also hope that those who rely on spreading the pirated version of "The Harm of the Qing Dynasty" will be merciful. Spreading dt may help your base become famous, but if there is no skin, how will Mao be attached?

    Let it out after drinking, if it really doesn't work, Pure Wolf will not disappoint my friends, I will try my best to write the rest of the plot, and try my best not to repeat the mistakes of Wu Yingxiong, Feng Mo and Quan Xiang.

    Hehe, at least there will be no more shouting, what about "The Harm of the Qing Dynasty" 2?  !  (To be continued.

 Chapter 315 Changing Taste

    ?

    Along the picturesque West Lake in Hangzhou, there is a rock mountain not far from Qiantang Gate, the northwest gate of Hangzhou. There are many small red stones shining in the rock mass. Whenever the sun shines, the mountain is full of brilliance, especially in the morning or sunset.  When the red light of the mountain is bathed, it is extremely dazzling, as if countless gems are shining, hence the name Gem Mountain.

    Not far from Baoshi Mountain is the famous Qixialing Ziyun Cave in Hangzhou, and on the mountainside just north of Ziyun Cave, there is another private garden surrounded by red maple trees, with high halls and wide houses.  , gray tiles and white walls, winding streams and corridors, lakes and stones stacked with peaks, dotted with pavilions, luxurious yet elegant, quiet and elegant.  In late autumn, the maple forests around the house turn red, attracting countless tourists to linger. The literati recite poems and reciting poems, and the owner of the garden often goes out of the city with his family to enjoy the maple leaves, visit the mountains, write essays and read books.

    Late October is close to early winter, and the maple leaves on the mountain have basically fallen. If it were to change from previous years, the owner of the garden would have gone back to the city to escape the severe winter cold, leaving only a few servants to look after and clean it.  But this year is different. At this time of this year, the garden is not only full of people, but also in full swing. Team after team of servants are carrying big and small bags, loading cars, and harnessing horses.  There are many horses in the warehouse, and many servants are moving the grain in the warehouse to the cellar for storage. People are screaming and yelling, and it is a mess.

    It was a young couple who directed these servants to move the property. The husband was dressed as a literati, and the wife was holding a young child. The clothes were very simple, and there were patches on the coarse clothes, which did not match the luxury of this garden.  Beside the couple, there is a petite girl in her teens, with a pair of dark, round eyes on her delicate and immature face.  She is absolutely shrewd, and the clothes on her body are also very luxurious and exquisite, which is also in stark contrast to the young couple.

    "Be careful! That huanghuali official hat chair made by Su is the treasure of the previous dynasty! If it breaks! You will prepare my family for a lifetime of white labor!"

    "Two idiots! Blind? You can knock against a marble screen, and the paint is off. Do you see it?! Be careful! Be careful!"

    "Wine cellar! Wine cellar! Thirty altars of old Shaoxing Huang in the wine cellar must be moved away! It is something my father likes. If you lose it, be careful of being whipped! Hurry! Hurry¡ª!"

    It was not the scholar husband who kept making such shouts, nor the young woman holding the child, but the young girl who was only eleven or twelve years old. Basically, from the beginning to the end, what echoed in the yard was that year.  The sharp childish voice of a young girl, a pair of white jade-like hands on her waist, her aggression, and her little red lips seemed to be constantly spitting out flames and poisonous smoke. It never stopped for a moment, and she scolded many servants like dogs.  Head, command is not feet touch the ground.  In the end, even the young woman couldn't listen anymore, so she could only say to the young girl in a low voice: "Little sister, please stop scolding a few words, they have already tried their best and are already moving as soon as possible."

    "Sister, it's not that I want to scold them, and I don't want to urge them!" The young girl turned her face and said angrily, "But can I not urge them? The Wu bandits and white-capped soldiers are coming soon,  Why don't you quickly transport these things back to the city and leave them here for the Wu Dog bandit soldiers to snatch them?!"

    "That's the truth, but there's no need to be in such a hurry, right?" The young woman said helplessly, "Didn't my cousin say that Wu Gou won't arrive in Hangzhou until tomorrow evening or the morning after tomorrow? We still have more than a day."

    "Sister, do you dare to listen to my cousins?" The young girl jumped three feet high and said viciously: "If it wasn't for their dirty hands and feet, I would personally come to Ziyun Garden to supervise the removal of the family property? You listen to them,  Just wait to be fooled!"

    "Little sister, brother-in-law doesn't like to hear your words." The young scholar finally opened his mouth and said with displeasure on his face: "My father-in-law wants me and your sister to bring our family to Ziyun Garden to move the family property. Are you  You are also afraid that your brother-in-law's hands and feet will be unclean, and you will take advantage of your family?"

    "Brother-in-law, I meant my cousin and I didn't mention you!" The young girl's tone was even more unhappy, "If my father doesn't believe you, will he let you come here to move the family property? I'll follow you, why don't I watch it?"  When my sister brings my nephew, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it alone, so don't take my kindness as a donkey!"

    "Okay, my husband, my little sister, please don't say a few words." The young woman was busy trying to smooth things over, and then quickly changed the subject and asked: "Little sister, if I remember correctly, the rent that our family collected  It seems that they are all transported back to the city or stored in the Zhuangzi in Lin'an, why is there so much food stored in Ziyun Garden this year?"

    The young girl looked left and right, beckoned her sister to be short, and whispered in her ear.sp; "Little sister, please stop talking, okay?" Hong Sheng's wife trembled and whispered, "After entering here, whether we can get out alive is another matter, you still have the mind to count the money?  "

    "Can you blame me? It's useless to blame my brother-in-law!" The young girl retorted in a low voice, kicked Hong Sheng's back quietly, and whispered in Hong Sheng's ear: "Brother-in-law, if you don't want my sister to die,  If you don¡¯t want me to die, you¡¯d better not report the life experience of me and my sister, and just give us a fake name. Otherwise, once the white-capped soldiers of the dog know my family background, my sister, your wife, and I  Neither my nephew nor your son can run away, do you understand?!"

    Hong Sheng tremblingly agreed in a low voice, but his body was still trembling like a wobble. The young girl secretly cursed a trash, and quickly calculated, "From the tone of these Wu rebels, we should be sent to see Wu  Lu Yifeng, the general of the rebel army who conquered the East¡ªI heard that Lu Yifeng is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, holding a gold ingot in his left hand and a silver ingot in his right hand, the ingots can never be used up, I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true.¡±  (To be continued.

 Chapter 316 Cheating My Fiancee

    ?

    Fatty Lu set off from Huzhou to Hangzhou on October 23rd. Before that, Fatty's army successfully ambushed and defeated Laita in Yuanjiahui in the southwest of Huzhou, and almost killed the remnants of Laita.  Seeing that the fat man's army was under strict blockade in the south, he had no hope of escaping back to Hangzhou. In desperation, he took the last three or four hundred cavalry and fled to Wuzhen. From Wuzhen, he withdrew to Jiaxing, where he joined the Qing army guards.  The army captured Huzhou.  So far, the 30,000 army led by Laita has been completely annihilated. Not only does it no longer have the power to harass and threaten the southern line of the Fatty Army, but it can only huddle like a tortoise in several fortified cities, waiting for the Fatty Army to defeat them one by one.  .

    Then, Fatty Lu adopted Yao Qisheng's suggestion to attack Hangzhou, leaving Guo Yingfu to lead an army of 4,000 to defend Huzhou - including many new soldiers and the Huzhou army brought by Wu Qi, otherwise Fatty Lu's 25,000 troops  Allocation is long gone.  Then Fatty Lu personally led an army of 23,000, carrying only half a month of food and grass, and ventured south to attack Hangzhou.

    At the same time, Fatty Army's Suzhou defender Lu Fatty's old lackey Li Tianzhi also sent a mobile army of 3,000 to the south of Shengze Town, which borders Suzhou and Jiaxing, to monitor the movement of the Qing army in Jiaxing and is ready to cooperate with Guo Yingfu to protect Fatty.  The army's food road and retreat.

    Fatty's army only walked for three days on the two hundred and twenty-mile road from Huzhou to Hangzhou. When they passed through Deqing County on the way, they encountered the situation that Lao Wenliang, the county magistrate, closed the city and refused to surrender. Fatty Lu, who always admired the speed of soldiers, ignored them  , only ordered Han Yuanren to lead an army of 3,000 to attack, while the main force bypassed the county town and continued southward, and on the evening of October 25, the whole army came to the city of Hangzhou.  The dreams of Li Zhifang, governor of Zhejiang Province of the Qing Dynasty, and Tula, the general of Hangzhou of the Qing Dynasty, in Hangzhou were broken. No matter which Qing army team in the surrounding area, it is impossible to arrive in Hangzhou for reinforcements before the end of the month. The Hangzhou defenders are almost isolated.

    "Ah, I finally came to Hangzhou!" Looking at the towering city walls of Hangzhou in the distance with his hands behind his back, Fatty Lu was filled with emotion, complaining to himself, "I remember the last time I went to Hangzhou was when Kang Mazi was six years old, because I was in a hurry to get in."  Beijing had an audience with Emperor Mangou, so he didn¡¯t take time to visit the West Lake, so he took a boat and went north from the canal. This time, I¡¯m revisiting the old place, and judging by this posture, I¡¯m afraid I still don¡¯t have much time to swim in the West Lake, working hard, poor working life.¡±

    "Boss, I want to wait for a while with emotion, military affairs are more important." Wang Shaobo, who was quite opposed to the attack on Hangzhou this time, frowned, stood on the map sand table that Yao Qisheng made by himself, pointed to a position and said: "Boss, the students think  Our army should divide up and go to Xiaoshan in the southeast of Hangzhou. This is a throat. No matter if Mangou returns from the direction of Jinhua, or from Shaoxing or Ningbo, he must pass through Xiaoshan.  The army can play a preventive role, and when necessary, it can buy time for the main force of our army to react."

    "How far is Xiaoshan from Hangzhou?" Fatty Lu asked without looking back.

    "About twenty miles." Yao Qisheng, a native of Zhejiang, replied on behalf of Wang Shaobo.

    "Let Zuo Jing lead 1,000 infantry to move to Xiaoshan and keep close contact with the main force. In addition, let Kong Fanlin lead 500 people to monitor the mouth of the Qiantang River to prevent dogs from coming to help from the sea." Fatty Lu ordered casually, but the fat head still  He refused to come back, but continued to sigh, "West Lake Water, Leifeng Pagoda, Xuxian White Snake, Fahai Saint Monk, when can I spare some time to visit you? It's a pity that it's not the White Snake I met.  , otherwise Yi Ge, I am handsome, what share is there for Xu Xian?"

    "This fat man is not only black-hearted, but also thick-skinned." Yao Qisheng muttered in a low voice, and then reminded: "General, the situation in Hangzhou that the students have learned is the situation when they went north with Lai Tamangou on October 14th.  The students don't know if there are Mangou troops to reinforce Hangzhou during the eleven days, and I hope the general will handle it carefully."

    "Of course I've thought about this, and I've sent soldiers to investigate long ago." Fatty Lu continued to answer casually, then shook his head and chanted, "When will the West Lake dance and dance be off? The warm wind makes tourists drunk.  Let¡¯s treat Hangzhou as Bianzhou¡ªI really hope that the gang of dogs in Hangzhou will be as good as the dogs in Zhejiang we encountered before, so that we can be more confident in attacking the city.¡±

    "Regarding this point, please rest assured, General." Yao Qisheng said with a smile: "Most of the elite soldiers of Zhejiang Mangou are on the southern line, and most of the elite soldiers on the northern line have been wiped out by the general in Yixing and Huzhou.  Most of the Mangou army is the second-line army, and the combat effectiveness is not very strong. The main force of the mite soldiers in the city has been taken to the south by Mangou Axitu and Sai Baili, and there are not many guards left in the city.  There is Mangou Hangzhou General Tula who is old and sick, and already has plans to retire from illness, and will not cause too much trouble for the general."

    (ps: The fact that Tula was seriously ill is a historical fact. Tula reported illness on June 19th, the thirteenth year of Mazi, and Mazi ordered Tula to return to Beijing to recuperate, and Mahada took over.Jiao's elder sister exclaimed, "Grandfather, old man, already promised the little sister to you, the general?"

    Fatty Lu nodded with a wry smile, and said helplessly, "Yes, I am your future brother-in-law. Sister-in-law, my unmarried wife Huang Xifeng should be living in the city with my father-in-law, right?"

    "No, Xifeng is not with her father now." Xiaojiao's sister timidly replied: "She is being pulled by the ear by you, General."

    "You are Huang Xifeng?" Fatty Lu was even more stupid. When he lowered his head to look at Pepper whose ear was being held by him, he was shocked to find that Pepper's childish face was full of childishness.  Staring big eyes at small eyes with such a little chili fiancee for a long time, Fatty Lu couldn't help but screamed again, "Oh my God? Master Huang, why did you make such a small cunning promise to me?"

    "You are my husband?" Little Pepper finally came back to his senses. After blinking his beautiful little eyes a few times, Little Pepper suddenly hugged Fatty Lu's fat leg, and shouted happily: "Master, I am Huang Xifeng  , I am Huang Xifeng! It turns out that my husband is so powerful, with so many soldiers and horses and such a large territory! Xianggong, I want to help you manage your accounts! Manage money and food! Xianggong, you want to teach me how to grow Baqi ointment and how to make colored glaze  Mirror, teach me to find silver mines!"

    "Little girl, we have to discuss our affairs."

    "No! You have already accepted the marriage certificate, and I am yours! Otherwise, you are Chen Shimei! You are a heartless man! My husband¡ª!"

    "Master Huang, you are cheating!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.  )(Remember this website URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 317: The Siege Begins

    ?

    (ps: It will be April 1st soon, I wish all friends a happy April Fool's Day in advance, just ask for the last March monthly pass, and book the first month of April monthly pass.)

    In the early morning of October 26th, the next morning after Fatty¡¯s army arrived at the city of Hangzhou, Fatty Lu personally went to the city of Hangzhou to observe the terrain, look for a breakthrough in the siege, and led hundreds of cavalry to run half a circle around Hangzhou City. Fatty Lu quickly  It was discovered that the fortification of the city of Hangzhou was indeed what Yao Qisheng said, and it was definitely not something that Qing Yi could break through.

    The nearly 40-mile-long city wall is more than six feet high at its highest point and five feet high at its lowest point. There are as many as fifty-eight Tibetan soldier towers on the city wall, and the moat under the city wall is more than four feet wide at its narrowest point, and even  Reaching seven feet, the original ladder car, cloud platform and city crash car can't get close to the city wall at all.  At the same time, there is a protruding arrow stack at a certain distance on the city wall, which allows the defenders to shoot and kill the soldiers attached to the city, making it very difficult to climb the city by flying ladders, which is extremely unfavorable to the attacker.

    In addition, other auxiliary fortifications in Hangzhou City are also very complete. There are urns at the ten city gates, and there are more than 20 Hongyi cannons and other artillery pieces on the city walls.  Because of the base camp, there must be plenty of supplies for defending the city, such as gunpowder, kerosene, arrows, rolling stones, thunder wood, and ash bottles, and it is impossible to run out of them in a short period of time.  As for the grain and grass, the autumn harvest has just finished, and the grain and grass hoarded in the city of Hangzhou, the starting point of water transportation, even if it is not counted as the civilian food of the people in the city, the food in the warehouse alone is enough to support the defenders for more than a year.  Breaking the city, that is no need to think about it.

    "Boss, this city is not easy to attack." Wang Shaobo said worriedly: "It goes without saying that the city wall is two feet thick. Yao Qisheng and the man-dog prisoners we captured have also confessed that the city wall of Hangzhou is made of bricks and lime glutinous rice.  If there is no rammed earth in the middle of the repair, it is impossible for our artillery to blow down the city wall directly."

    "There is no unbreakable city in the world, only people who can't be broken." Fatty Lu said calmly: "A city within three miles, a country within seven miles, can't be conquered without a city.  The weather is not as good as the right place. The reverse is also the same. A city of ten miles, a country of a hundred miles, can be broken in a circle, and the place is not as good as the people. The main force of Hangzhou Mangou has already come out, and the defenders in the city are relatively weak, and people are panicked.  Without the will to fight, the generals will not have the will to fight, but our army has high morale and sharp soldiers, if we can make good use of harmony and distract the enemy's army, our army may not have hope of breaking the city."

    "My boss plans to use psychological tactics?" Wang Shaobo asked tentatively.  Fatty Lu nodded, but he didn't explain in detail. He just raised the rein and urged the horse back to the camp, "We'll talk about it when we get back to the camp. I'll think about it on the way."

    When the quick horse returned to the self-army camp near the Buried Bridge, it was almost noon at three o'clock, and entered the Chinese army tent again. Before Fatty Lu could sit down, Fatty Lu's cheating fiancee Huang Xifeng Xiaojiao  , had already got out from the back tent with a food box, smiling like a flower on his pretty little face, and said sweetly to Fatty Lu: "Master, you are finally back, Xifeng made you lunch with her own hands, please  Try Xifeng's handicraft."

    "Why did you come in?" Fatty Lu was startled, and asked the soldiers next to him angrily, "Who told you to let her in?"

    "Back to the general, she insisted on coming in." The soldiers brought by Fatty Lu from Dali's hometown replied tremblingly: "You guys don't allow it, she just cried and made noise, and said she was the general, you didn't go through the door."  Wife, it¡¯s only right and proper to bring you food and take care of you, we don¡¯t allow her to do her duty as a wife, and roll on the ground, the little ones have no choice but to let her wait for the general in the back tent.¡±

    "Drag it out and beat it with ten army sticks. Next time you dare to let someone into the big tent, you will be punished twice!" Fatty Lu yelled, and the soldier had no choice but to salute and admit that he was unlucky and go out to receive the punishment.  Fatty Lu turned his fat face to Xiaojiali again, and shouted with a livid face: "Get out immediately! Don't say that I haven't officially married you yet, it is the three women before me who dare not enter my big tent or study room without permission."  He signed the deposit room, next time you dare to come in and make trouble, serve you with a whip!"

    The smile on Little Pepper's face froze, and he began to show an expression of grievance, and then it became clear and cloudy immediately, crystal tears flowed out of his big bright eyes, and his red mouth was about to burst into tears, but he was overwhelmed by Fatty Lu's majestic face.  Terrified, I didn't dare to cry out.  But it was the appearance of wanting to cry but not daring to cry, which made Fatty Lu a little soft-hearted. He couldn't help but pull her over, let her sit on his fat legs, and said softly in her ear: "I know you are  Good intentions, but this is the tent of the Chinese army where I give orders, discuss the military situation, and summon the generals. It is the most important place in the army. Ordinary people are not allowed to trespass without permission. It is a capital crime of direct beheading. Do you know  ?¡±

    Little Pepper nodded, and choked up with grievances and said: "I didn't know before, no one told me. I just saw that it was almost time for lunch, and I was in the boy's room.??I¡¯m not being polite anymore, one was running faster than the other, and one was crying louder than the other, scrambling to escape down the city wall to avoid the shells, no matter how hard the Qing army¡¯s supervising team tried to stop them, they stumbled and fell off the city wall in a panic and were killed  There were countless soldiers from the Qing army who had squeezed down the city wall, and almost everyone had the thought in their minds, "Wu Gou is so powerful, should he leave the city and run for his life? Or should he put down his weapons and surrender?"

    "Brothers, this is your chance, go!" Seeing that most of the soldiers of the Qing army in the city had escaped, Cheng Long, the new Ding of the Fat Army who was in charge of filling the river, waved his flag and shouted, and thousands of soldiers of the Fat Army immediately carried  The sandbag shouted and charged, rushed to the moat at a flying speed, threw the sandbag and boulder into the moat, then turned around and ran away.

    When the Qing army on the city realized that the situation was wrong, they rushed to the city wall and fired arrows, but the artillery team of the Fat Man Army had once again shown its power, roaring and pouring more shells on the Qing army defenders, forcing the Qing army soldiers to attack.  Once again, howling and fleeing down the city wall to avoid the guns, the infantry of the fat army took the opportunity to rush up to fill the river again, the Qing army went up to the city to defend again, and the fat army took the opportunity to fire and bombard again.

 Chapter 318 Attacking Hangzhou

    ?

    (ps: ask for a monthly pass on April 1st.)

    The intensity of the artillery battle of the Fat Man Army, even if it was changed to the southwest battlefield where the main force of the Wu army and the main force of the Qing army were replaced, it was at a super-top level, only in the Anshun Battle, Wuchang Battle, Luoshan Attack and Defense Battle and Jingzhou Battle.  A similar intensity of artillery battles can be seen on the battlefields of several decisive battles related to martial arts. In other medium and large-scale battles, such a large number of artillery pieces have never been invested, let alone such a large number of shells have been blasted.

    This is true of the Southwest battlefield, which was the most intense and large-scale battle in the San Francisco Rebellion, let alone the Zhejiang battlefield, which can only be ranked as a second-rate battlefield with Guangdong and Guangxi. Even the few veterans in the Hangzhou garrison never  I have never seen the spectacular scene of hundreds of artillery bombarding a section of the city wall, and I have never experienced what is called a real iron fire hell, what is called a bullet falling into the rain, and the sound of the cannon cracking the sky!

    I saw the artillery of the Fat Man Army roaring endlessly, felt the rock-solid city wall trembling slightly in the explosion, and saw my companions being smashed to pieces one by one in the artillery fire, the flesh and blood squalled wildly, and there was a shell nearby from time to time  When it explodes, the strong wind knocks you over, and the loud noise shakes your ears until the ear canal bleeds. No one can stand it.

    Under the tension and fear, no matter whether it was Li Zhifang, Tu La, Bayar, Shi Tiaosheng and other middle and senior generals of the Qing army, as well as the supervising team, generals and ordinary soldiers, they all lost their determination to fight the fat army to the end.  They all hid tremblingly under the dead corners of the city wall, crouched behind the battlements of arrows and battlements, squeezed into the sardine-like canned urn city, trembling, and whispered how to escape and save their lives.  Totally unable to muster up the courage to hold on to the city, let the infantry of the Fat Man Army swagger outside the city to fill up the moat and open the siege passage.

    It wasn't until it was completely dark that the Fat Army's artillery gradually dropped down, but the Fat Army infantry below the city continued to fill up the moat. Li Zhifang and Tu Lasong, who guessed that the Fat Army could not see the target clearly at night and refused to fire.  In one breath, he hurriedly commanded the army to go back to the city, and shot and fired arrows to prevent the fat man from filling the river, but the sky was too dark to see the target clearly, so the effect was not great.

    In desperation, Tula ordered the soldiers to risk going out of the city to light the hole on the city wall, but none of the soldiers dared to go out of the city, so they had to hang the soldiers with ropes and set fire to them.  The Jue Cave was basically bombarded by the fat man's artillery, and there was no way to insert a torch. In the end, Li Zhifang, who was quite resourceful, figured out a way to pile up firewood at intervals under the city and ignite it with kerosene on the slope to illuminate the target.  .  As a result, just when the pyre was half lit, the fat army's artillery shells hit their heads and faces again, killing dozens of Qing soldiers and blasting all the Qing soldiers on the city wall to the ground. This plan was useless again.

    In order to prevent the Fatty Army from filling the river, Li Zhifang, Tu La and others planned to use the cover of night to send a team of dead soldiers out of the city to attack, and even planned to send an army to attack the artillery positions of the Fatty Army.  Gathered a group of more than 600 dead soldiers.  However, when this death squad sneaked out of the city gate with the fire starter on their backs, the suspension bridge had just been lowered, and hundreds of rockets roared from the opposite darkness, blowing up the death squad in one go, and killing all bombs along the way.  Many Qing soldiers in the city gate were injured, and the Qing army's night attack plan also failed. No matter how much money Li Zhifang, Tu La and others spent, they could no longer recruit dead soldiers who dared to go out of the city to attack at night.

    "Listen up, all the dogs in the city!" What's even more exasperating is that the fat man used rockets to blow up the Qing army's night raid army, and he cursed and laughed: "Playing night raids, you are our grandchildren!  Find out, when we fought Wuchang and Jingzhou, did we fight at night or during the day!"

    "General Tu, Wugou is well prepared. We are not sure, so we should not waste our troops." Li Zhifang said helplessly to Tula: "The difference between our current army and Wugou's army is too great.  Weapons and equipment are far behind Wu Gou, so the best policy is to close the city and wait for our main force to rescue us."

    Tula coughed and didn't speak, and then sighed after a while, "That's the only way, prepare more weapons for defending the city, and prepare to fight Wu Gou. Fortunately, the city wall of Hangzhou is strong and can offset many Wu Gou's combat power.  "

    Relying on the joint help of Fatty Army artillery and the Qing army, the work of Fatty Army infantry filling the river went very smoothly. In just one night, Cheng Long, the new general, basically completed the task assigned by Lu Fatty at a very small cost. Lu Fatty  I was very happy and praised Cheng Long very much, but since the siege weapons of the Fatty Army were not ready yet, Fatty Lu did not launch the siege on the 27th day, but rewarded Cheng Long and the soldiers who filled the river heavily.  Changed a group of soldiers for Cheng Long, let him continue to fill the river, expand the attack surface of the fat man's siege weapons as much as possible, and let Qin Yong continue to cover Cheng Long's troops with artillery, continue to consume the Qing army's defenders with artillery, and attack the Qing army  ShouWith the courage to die together, it is not difficult to kill all the more than a hundred fat soldiers who have already ascended the city and bring down the city wall.  It is still quite sufficient, as long as the fat army retreats a little, all the hard-won results will be wiped out immediately.

    "Beat the drums harder and encourage the soldiers to charge and kill." Fatty Lu turned his head and ordered, and the order was conveyed. The more than 200 cowhide war drums that were already beating earth-shatteringly shook the ground even more, but the battle ahead was still stalemate.  Although Wu Yonghua's team opened up some attack surfaces to disperse the defenders, the Qing army sent more soldiers to block the attack, and the shadows of ordinary people could still be seen vaguely. It was obvious that the Qing army had already mobilized civilians.  Joined the battle.

    "Boss, why didn't we get involved in the city in advance?" Seeing this scene, Wang Shaobo was unavoidably anxious, "We have almost finished fighting all the ammunition today. If we can't win Hangzhou City in this battle, next time  Don't even think about attacking the city."

    Fatty Lu remained calm and did not speak, while Yao Qisheng took over the conversation and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shaobo, General, please rest assured, as long as the little dog is not seen through and dies in the hands of Man Gou, there will definitely be one."  Action, please wait patiently."

    "I believe so." Fatty Lu finally said, seemingly relaxed: "See, our engineers have already touched the edge of the city gate and are stacking explosives there. After a while, the city gate will be ignited and the deadlock will be over."  can be broken."

    "But even if the city gate is blasted, there is still a gate of the urn city inside!" Wang Shaobo reminded again.

    "Boss, look!" Zhu Fangdan, who finally got up from the bed, yelled, "Look at the city, the city is on fire! It's not just one place!"

    Fatty Lu, Wang Shaobo and others raised their heads in surprise, and took a closer look at the situation in Hangzhou City. They found that the city was indeed on fire, with thick smoke rising into the sky. The Qing army guards on the city were also in chaos immediately.  It was breached by the Fatty Army, and the soldiers of the Fatty Army took the opportunity to rush to the city wall.  Yao Qisheng nodded confidently and said: "The little dog has made a move. It seems that the little dog was not assigned to guard the city after being filled with defeated soldiers. He was assigned to patrol the streets in the city, so he could only set fire to the city  Accept our army."

    "Mr. Yao, this is the first time you call yourself our army. It seems that you really want to join our Da Zhou army." The careful Fatty Lu laughed, and Yao Qisheng also found his tone changed, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

    "Sir, what does the fire in the city have to do with your siege? Why are you so happy?" Little Pepper sitting on Fatty Lu's lap asked suspiciously.

    "Silly girl, there is a sudden fire in the city, can the dogs in the city not panic?" Fatty Lu squeezed the little pepper's face again, and smiled: "When the dogs panic, can they not panic? The dogs are flustered,  Doesn¡¯t your husband¡¯s army have a chance?¡±

    "Oh, so that's how it is." Little Pepper nodded half-understood, then suddenly wept again with a beautiful little face, and said nervously: "God bless, please don't burn my family's property! Eleven restaurants in my family  Six places have just been renovated, as well as my silk and satin shop, cloth shop and money shop, and it would be even worse if they were burned.¡±

    Note: Jue Cave is a kind of fortification of the ancient city wall. Its function is to insert torches for lighting and concentrate the light below the city wall to prevent the enemy from sneaking at night, and at the same time not to shake the eyes of the defenders on the city. However, the specific structure and location have been lost.  .  (To be continued.

 Chapter 319

    ?

    "Why did the city catch fire? Is it a coincidence, or did someone set the fire on purpose?"

    Because of the difference in distance and situation, Li Zhifang, the governor of Zhejiang, who was directing the defense of the city on the city wall, actually discovered this dangerous situation earlier than Fatty Lu and others. At first, Li Zhifang still had a little bit of luck, hoping that the people in the city accidentally caused the fire while cooking.  He also quickly dispatched his own soldiers to order Mou Dayin, the deputy general in charge of patrolling the streets in the city, to put out the fire as soon as possible, so as not to spread the fire and shake the morale of the defenders.

    As soon as the soldiers were ordered to go down to the city, Li Zhifang's last ray of hope was completely shattered, because he had already seen that not only one place was on fire in the city, but dozens of thick smoke had already risen, and they were still scattered in every street in the city.  Seeing such a situation, no matter how confused Li Zhifang was, she understood that the spies of the Fat Army had sneaked into the city of Hangzhou ahead of time, and they were setting fire to make trouble everywhere at the moment, to help the Fat Army attack the city.

    "The city is on fire! The city is on fire!" The other people on the city wall also gradually discovered this situation. Seeing the fire in the city, the morale of the soldiers of the Fatty Army was of course boosted, and the charge became more and more violent. The soldiers of the Qing army and the participants  The people guarding the city are in chaos.  Especially those Hangzhou people who were half-coaxed and half-deceived to go to the city to participate in the war, saw the fire in the direction of their home, and naturally cared about their belongings and the old, weak, women and children at home, and fled down the city wall to go home to fight the fire.  They stopped them, and even drew their knives to kill them, but if the first escaped, there would be the second one. Under the influence of each other, the morale of the defenders immediately collapsed.  The soldiers of the Fat Man Army cheered endlessly and went to the city to kill the enemy.

    "Boom¡ª¡ª!"

    The house leak happened to be raining all night, but at this time, there was an earth-shattering loud noise from the main gate of Wulin Gate. The ground shook and the mountains shook. Li Zhifang, who was standing at the top of the city gate, seemed to be slapped hard by an invisible giant hand.  In the same way, the whole person flew backwards. Although he was lucky enough to bump into a few soldiers and did not fall directly off the city wall, his ears were already seeping blood and he was deaf on the spot.  And the soldiers of the Qing army near Li Zhifang were also like this, all of them were so shaken that they flew up and fell off the city wall countless times.

    "What's the matter?" Shaking her dizzy head, Li Zhifang found that she could not hear the sound of fighting on the battlefield at all, only saw the smoke billowing under the city gate, and saw the fat soldiers in the distance jumping up and down.  Jumping, very excited, and then rushed towards the main gate of Wulin Gate like a tide.  Li Zhifang was quite quick-witted, and quickly reacted, "No, the city gate was blown open!"

    "Quick! The gate knife cart! The gate knife cart!" Li Zhifang yelled hoarsely, but when Li Zhifang stumbled to the inner side of the city gate and looked down, he was stunned to see that it was parked in the corridor of the city gate.  The Saimen knife cart had been shaken tens of feet away by the shock wave, and fell to pieces, completely losing the value of rescuing the gap.  The infantry of the Fat Man Army rushed into the Wengcheng like the tide, while the soldiers of the Qing army in the Wengcheng were fleeing to the steps of the city, not even the slightest plan to block the gap in the city gate with all their strength.

    "Block the city gate, block the city gate!" Li Zhifang's screams were full of tears, but the sounds of killing, screams and explosions on the battlefield gathered like thunder, how much could Li Zhifang's voice be like?  people hear?  Even Li Zhifang, whose ears were deafened by the explosion, couldn't hear her own voice, "Why can't I shout out? Go, go! Block the city gate!"

    In fact, Li Zhifang's order is useless even if it reaches the ears of every defender. Seeing the gate of Wulin Gate being blasted by the Fatty Army, and seeing the Fatty Army enter the Urn City, all the defenders on the city wall are gone.  Losing the courage to fight on, countless soldiers threw down their weapons and surrendered directly on their knees, and more soldiers fled into the city, including the Qing army supervisor team who blocked them.  Fatty's army was full of morale, howling as they charged more fiercely and faster than each other. In the blink of an eye, thousands of people rushed up the city wall, completely controlling a rather long section of the position.

    "Wu dog! Take your life!" The situation is so critical that the mobile team led by Tu La, the Qing Hangzhou general, can only be loyal. Tu La, who is seriously ill, carries a big knife and leads thirty or forty soldiers.  With red eyes, he rushed towards the fat army team closest to him. The steel knife danced like a gust of wind, and he cut down two fat army soldiers one after another.  The elite soldiers rushed over and confronted Tula in close quarters, but the battle was inconsistent. The old man in Tula's right hand was slashed by Li Mao with a knife, and his wrist was broken. When Tula's personal soldiers rushed to rescue them, the fat soldiers had  He rushed forward, roaring and slashing at the head with a dozen sabers, chopping this bloody old dog into meat paste.

    Once Tula died, the Qing army on the city wall had no more fighting spirit and collapsed even more completely. The soldiers of the fat army were full of morale, shouting to surrender and not to kill, rushing up the city wall from all directions, and rushing into Hangzhou in an endless stream.There was chaos, and then our army entered the city. It should be that someone started an incident in the city and opened the city gate to welcome our army into the city.  "

    "Who is so good? It deserves a big reward." Fatty Lu was even more delighted. After a little calculation, Fatty Lu quickly came to his senses and hurriedly smiled to Yao Qisheng next to him: "Mr.  Is it Master Ling¡¯s masterpiece? He risked being full of defeated soldiers and sneaked into the city. Hangzhou Mangou would definitely not waste a young and strong soldier like him, and would definitely keep him in the army. After he set fire to the city  , and risked being filled with defeated soldiers and sneaked into Mite City, and took the opportunity to open Mite City to welcome our army into the city."

    "I hope so." Yao Qisheng nodded, but the worried look on his face could not be lingered away.

    Fatty Lu's crow's mouth became a prophecy, and half an hour later, Yao Qisheng's eldest son, Yao Yi, held a human head and led thirty or forty surrendered soldiers from the Qing army who had been paid by the fat man's army with a lot of money before.  I went to Wulinmen City to seek an audience, and when I was allowed to go up to the city to meet Fatty Lu, Yao Yi knelt down on both knees without saying a word, took the heads in her hands, and said in a loud voice: "I will report to the general, the last general Yao Yi will not humiliate you!"  The mission is to open the city gate of Hangzhou Mite City to welcome our army into the city, and personally behead the deputy Du Tongshi Tiaosheng, the defender of Hangzhou Mite City, and present it with the head, please accept it as a reward from the General!"

    "Okay, okay!" Fatty Lu laughed happily, and quickly helped Yao Yi himself, and said repeatedly: "General Yao, you have worked hard, you have worked hard, today our army was able to capture Hangzhou in a single battle, and General Yao will be the first!"

    Yao Yi continued to be modest, and Fatty Lu said loudly again: "General Yao Yi, now this general has awarded you the title of Jurong Commander-in-Chief, assigned to my direct army, and another two thousand taels of silver for the tattoo! Use it with the army!"

    "Thank you for the reward, General!" Yao Yi was overjoyed, and quickly knelt down on one knee and cupped her fists to express her gratitude.  Fatty Lu laughed loudly, and hurriedly helped him up again, then turned to Yao Qisheng, and suddenly he knelt down on one knee with his hands clasped together. Yao Qisheng was shocked, and hurried up to help him: "General, what are you doing? Are you going to kill the students?"  ?¡±

    Fatty Lu shook his head and refused to get up, but said seriously: "Mr. Yao, Lu Yifeng has a small request, and I hope Mr. Yao will definitely agree."

    "Please tell me, General." Yao Qisheng quickly replied.

    "Mr. Yao is invited to serve as our army's military adviser." Fatty Lu said in a deep voice: "Mr. is a great talent, and Lu Yifeng admires him very much. Mr. Wan Wang and Mr. Lu will work together to expel the Tartars and create a great cause together.  Lu will definitely thank you sir as a high official, and he will never break his promise!"

    "The general speaks too seriously." Yao Qisheng hurriedly knelt down on his knees, kowtowed and said, "Yao Qisheng was just a general who had surrendered a while ago, and he came to vote because he was poor.  Yao Qisheng is already very grateful, how dare he have any unreasonable thoughts?"

    "Mr. Yao, if you don't agree, Lu Yifeng won't get up today." Fatty Lu didn't bother to say polite words, so he just played tricks.

    "General" Yao Qisheng pretended to be modest, and soon kowtowed his head, and said respectfully: "Well, since the general doesn't dislike it, Yao Qisheng will do his best to serve the general and die  Already." Fatty Lu was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to Yao Qisheng to thank him, and Yao Qisheng kowtowed back, and the two had no quarrel anymore, Fatty Lu finally believed in the sincerity of Yao Qisheng's surrender, and Yao Qisheng was also determined to give his life to Fatty Lu.

    "Sir, what kind of official do you plan to make me?" Just as Fatty Lu and Yao Qisheng got up here, Little Pepper suddenly ran up, hugged Fatty Lu's fat thigh, raised his charming little face, and pleaded enthusiastically  : "Sir, can you make me the general in charge of money and food? I swear that I will take care of the money and food for you, and help you make a fortune."

    "Thanks, I don't want you, a little money fan, to take the opportunity to embezzle." Fatty Lu pinched Little Pepper's tender face with a wry smile, and then looked at Little Pepper's ruddy cherry mouth and white teeth, and couldn't help but move closer to Little Pepper.  Pepper whispered in his ear: "Well, I will appoint you as the musician of Zhengdong General's Mansion, and you will play music for me in the future."

    "Musician? I don't know the rhythm?" Little Pepper wept.

    "It doesn't matter, I will teach you, it's very easy, with your intelligence and talent, you can learn it as soon as you keep it." Fatty Lu smiled complacently, and some messy evil things could not help appearing in his mind.

    In the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, on October 27th of the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi, the fat man army broke through Hangzhou City in the first battle, and captured the largest, most prosperous and richest town in northern Zhejiang.  As the news spread, the Qing army in Zhejiang was all terrified. Geng Jingzhong, the commander of the Northern Expedition Army Zeng Yangxing, who was confronting the Qing army on the southern line, and Liu Guoxuan, the captain of the Taiwan fleet, who was confronting the Qing army in the sea near Ningbo, were all beating their chests and stamping their feet.  I didn't expect that Fatty Lu would really do what he said, and he really hit the city of Hangzhou where he agreed to join forces in one breath, and even took down this fat and famous city in Zhejiang!

 Chapter 320

    ?

    (ps: Forecast in advance, Ching Ming Festival is here, there are a lot of things about the pure wolf, there may be a break in the near future, please understand and forgive friends.)

    Fatty Lu pursed his lips, and Xiao Erlang, the oldest running dog under Fatty Lu's command, understood, and immediately walked to the corner, brought a wooden plate with his own hands, and carefully placed it in front of Li Zhifang, Governor of Zhejiang Province. There was nothing else on the plate except a  Bai Ling.

    "Li Zhitai, I have heard of your name, and I know your official style." Fatty Lu's cold and treacherous voice echoed in the hall, and he said slowly: "I respect you as a good dog official who can help the poor.  A good dog official who distributes farm cattle and seeds to the people is barely a good dog official who can consider the life and death of the people. So, I give you two options, one is to stay and work for me, for your Han compatriots, and  Our soldiers and officials of the Great Zhou have joined forces to create a prosperous world, benefiting more common people, more Han people, and more Chinese people.¡±

    "Secondly, I will give you a whole corpse. Use this white silk to kill yourself. I will give you a coffin to restrain yourself. I will not embarrass your family, let alone hurt them. They can leave Hangzhou and go where they like.  For nothing else, just for the poor people who have been helped by you, give them an explanation, and give you an explanation."

    "Okay, I've finished my words, you can choose for yourself."

    Li Zhifang knelt in front of Fatty Lu and remained motionless, her lips trembling slightly. At one moment, in her mind was the heroism of scolding a thief and dying, and the reputation of being loyal to the Lord, and at another moment, she was cowardly and fearful of death.  The hardships of the cold window of the year.  After hesitating for a long time, the desire to survive finally prevailed. He kowtowed to Fatty Lu and said tremblingly, "Li Zhifang, I wish to surrender."

    The surrender of Li Zhifang, governor of Zhejiang, also nailed his own name to the pillar of shame in history forever. As the first governor-level official who surrendered to the traitor Lu Fatty, he left an eternal infamy.  ¡ª¡ªIn fact, Li Zhifang was also wronged. He was captured alive by the fat army after he attempted suicide. The former governor of Liangjiang, A Xixu, was hiding under the bed and was just discovered by the soldiers of the fat army.  Xi Xu's reputation is too bad. In order to provide Kang Mazi with military pay and food, he killed countless Jiangnan gentry and landlords with literary prisons. He offended too many Jiangnan wealthy businessmen. Fatty Lu wants to win over Jiangnan scholars and landlords.  With the support of the landlord, it is naturally impossible to accept his surrender, and he can only be beheaded according to the law, and his head will be used to bribe the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.

    Li Zhifang, the dignified governor of Zhejiang Province, is well aware of it, and saw that many mite people surrendered to the fat army and were reused.  I also know what a wise choice is. Except for some mite officials and a very small number of hardcore traitor officials who were among the four kills of the Fat Army, they basically chose to surrender to the Fat Army.  The hard-core traitor officials headed by Jin Yuzhi from Hangzhou Weaving were not only cut to pieces, but all the males in their family were also killed cleanly, including infant boys, and all the females were sent to the military prostitute camp.  They atone for their past sins of smoking minzhimin ointment and giving birth to mites.

    By the way, Hangzhou weaving Jin Yuzhi actually wanted to surrender to the Fatty Army, but the Fatty Army had confiscated millions of taels of silver from the homes of Cao Xi of Jiangning Weaving in Qingqing and Chen Youde of Suzhou Weaving, plus Fatty Lu's  His fianc¨¦e, Xiaojiao, has long been salivating over Jin Yuzhi's family property. She quietly blew the pillow wind in Fatty Lu's ear, and without a teacher, let the servant instruct the weaving craftsmen to stop the horse in front of Fatty Lu and sue Jin Yuzhi for exploiting her.  Zhihu bullied men and women to kill people, Fatty Lu, who also coveted Jin Yuzhi's family property, took the opportunity to do it, and killed the whole family of Kang Mazi's cronies on the pretext of Jin Yuzhi's public grievances.  capital.

    Also suffering from this misfortune were the four surnamed mite people in the mite city of Hangzhou. After they were identified and arrested by their surnames, they were all dealt with in this way.  Fat soldiers whose eyes were reddened, corpses of mite people of four surnames scattered all over the place, blood flowed down the ditches, dyeing half of the West Lake light red, almost like returning to Jiading, Yangzhou, and Guangzhou, Datong.  The Fatty Army's four-kill order was finally published in writing, posted in the streets and alleys of Hangzhou City, and spread to the world through official channels.

    In fact, as long as the Fatty Army accepts it, most of the people with the four surnames are actually willing to kneel down and surrender to Fatty Lu, and become good citizens of the Zhou Dynasty under Fatty Lu's rule.  People may not all sincerely surrender, and sincerely want to work for Fatty Lu, especially some people with the surname of Mite, who may have more Han blood on their hands than many people with the surname of Mite.  Once the situation is reversed in the future, these people will definitely turn their backs faster than they are now.  But Fatty Lu"Fatty Lu will really fulfill the old traitor Wu's promise to the Taiwan army and carve out a foothold for the Taiwan army on the mainland. Liu Guoxuan's greatest wish is to get a batch of urgently needed supplies from Fatty Lu for the Taiwan army.  The Qing army has been fighting with real knives and guns for so many years, and has been blocked by the Qing army's relocation and forbidden sea for so many years. In this era, the poor financial resources of the Taiwan army, which is extremely weak in terms of manpower and material resources, are already on the verge of collapse.  .  So Liu Guoxuan didn't want too much, as long as Fatty Lu, who was so fat, could give him a batch of food, grass, military pay, medicine and cloth, and give him some weapons, he would be satisfied.

    A successful adventure always pays off, and the reward is so great that Liu Guoxuan can't even believe it. When Fatty Lu offered to give the city of Hangzhou to the Taiwan army, the great happiness came so suddenly that Liu Guoxuan fainted on the spot  over!  After being rescued by Zhu Fangdan, Liu Guoxuan immediately grabbed Fatty Lu's fat hand, and asked tremblingly, "General Lu, Liu Guoxuan heard right just now, right? You are going to give the city of Hangzhou to our Taiwan army to serve as a place for us in mainland China."  A foothold on the ground?"

    "Of course I'm not joking." Fatty Lu said seriously: "Also, I want to correct you. I didn't give the city of Hangzhou to the Taiwan army, but to our Ming army! General Liu, you belong to Daming just like us.  The people are all the troops of the Ming Dynasty. Back then, our prince of the Great Zhou promised to give Taiwan's Ming army a foothold on the mainland. As a general under the prince's command, Lu Yifeng naturally wanted to fulfill the promise for the prince to show  The sincerity of the alliance between our army and your army!"

    Speaking of this, Fatty Lu paused for a moment, then looked at the stunned Liu Guoxuan, and added with a smile: "Also, in order for General Liu and you to gain a firm foothold in Hangzhou, I will leave 30 for General Liu.  Cannons, 1,000 Sanhao rockets, 1,500 grenades, 2,000 catties of Sanhao explosives, 80,000 shi of rations and 300,000 taels of military pay for your army for a year, and 3,000 troops for General Liu.  I hope General Liu will be satisfied."

    Liu Guoxuan almost fainted again, and all the Taiwanese generals present were completely stunned. After a long time, Liu Guoxuan led all the Taiwanese generals to kneel down to Fatty Lu, and said in unison: "General Lu keeps his word, the last general  Wait until you are convinced!"

    The news that Fatty Lu fulfilled his promise to give the city of Hangzhou to Zheng Jing on behalf of the traitor Wu spread across the land of China very quickly.  Hearing this news, all the leaders of the rebel army and Kang Mazi went crazy. Kang Mazi yelled at Fatty Lu with red eyes that he was inferior to a beast, and used his important city of Hangzhou to curry favor with Zheng Jing's dog thief!  Zheng Jing was laughing so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth. He rushed to announce the good news to Prince Ning Zhu Shugui and fell three times. When he got up, he was not unhappy, but he laughed and said, "Lu Yifeng, trust me!"

    "Zeng Yangxing, you bastard!" It was Geng Jingzhong who yelled, stomping his feet and yelling, "What did General Lu Yifeng say at the beginning? He asked you to meet him in the city of Hangzhou. Why didn't you believe his promise?  Pretend to be clever and send his autographed letter to Man Gou! You bastard, if you listen to him, wouldn¡¯t Hangzhou belong to me? Hangzhou! My Hangzhou!!¡±

    "Did I make this promise to Zheng Jing back then?" The old traitor Wu was a little confused, and after finally recalling that he had indeed made a similar promise to Zheng Jing, the old traitor Wu also yelled, "Lu Yifeng, you  You idiot! Even if you help Laozi fulfill his promise, you don¡¯t need to give Hangzhou to Zheng Jing? You won¡¯t use a poorer and smaller city to deal with Zheng Jing? Hangzhou, there is a Hangzhou where there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below!¡±

    "Lu Yifeng, you bastard! You can take advantage of Hangzhou to others, why can't you take advantage of Lao Tzu?!" Shang Zhixin, Wu Yingqi, Xia Guoxiang, Ma Bao and others scolded like this.

    It's all about scolding, but everyone, including Kang Mazi, has to admit that Fatty Lu is indeed an idiot who keeps his word!  (To be continued.

 Chapter 321 The Strong Enemy Comes Back

    ?

    (ps: I persisted for another day, and I have to ask for leave tomorrow anyway. Please understand and forgive my friends.)

    "A dog thief! A dog thief! Lu Yifeng, a dog thief who is not as good as a beast! Before I went to settle accounts with you, you came to my door first! Robbed my Huzhou mansion! Robbed my Hangzhou mansion! Dog thief! Dog thief!  The Lu Yifeng thief who will be hacked to pieces!!"

    Slapping and roaring the pseudo-dragon case hysterically, Kang Mazi almost broke his claw bones!  Although he had experienced countless similar painful stimulations and despairing blows before, and he had made some psychological preparations beforehand, Kang Mazi was completely pissed off this time, even mad!

    Can't help that Kang Mazi is not angry. In just half a month, Huzhou City and Hangzhou City, the two most important granaries in Zhejiang, fell one after another.  It would be strange if Kang Mazi didn't get angry after killing 30,000 soldiers of the Qing Dynasty and countless good people of the Qing Dynasty!  What's more, what Kang Mazi couldn't figure out was that other rebels fought hard for a long time to attack the strong city. It is not surprising that they fought for three to five months, a year and a half.  Easy, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Yangzhou, the world-famous fortified cities, were all defeated in one battle?  Could it be that this Lu Yifeng dog thief is really the nemesis of the Qing Dynasty?

    Kang Mazi's luck is not bad, the news that Fatty Lu gave Hangzhou City to Zheng Jing has not yet reached Beijing, otherwise Kang Mazi will definitely smash his claw bones!  ¡ª¡ªTaking other people's important towns as favors, generously, what is this called?

    "Master, please calm down. Although Hangzhou has fallen unfortunately, it may not be all bad things for us." Huang Xiyan, the brother-in-law of the newly appointed Han Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Qing Dynasty and the military commander of the Fat Army, Huang Xiyan, was more courageous, and comforted Kang Mazi:  "The servant believes that although Lu Yifeng's dog thief took Hangzhou City by chance, he has a firm foothold in the south of the Yangtze River and his strength is still very weak. If he is only trapped in the half corner of Jiangsu, he may be able to survive the main counterattack of our Qing Dynasty.  Hold on for a while. If he is not greedy enough and insists on annexing several prefectures in northern Zhejiang, then his military strength will inevitably be stretched, and there will be omissions everywhere on the defense line, which will greatly help our Qing army to counterattack in an all-round way!"

    Kang Mazi stared at Huang Xiyan and didn't speak. Huang Xiyan was also very courageous, let alone afraid, but said in a deep voice: "Master, please rest assured, slaves are also very good at military strategy, and they dare not lie to the king. The facts are true."  That's it! The reason why Lu Yifeng's dog thief was able to defeat our Great Qing King's Army repeatedly before was due to his elite soldiers and sharp weapons. If he was greedy, expanded blindly before gaining a foothold, and only cared about conquering the city without thinking about recuperating and accumulating strength, then this time  Even if a thief is arrogant for a while, he is still a rootless duckweed, with endless worries and hidden dangers, and it is not difficult to break."

    Kang Mazi still refused to speak, Ma's eyes seemed to be thoughtful, but Suo Etu interrupted and said, "Master Huang, are you too optimistic? Lu Yifeng's dog thief captured Hangzhou City, and Geng Jingzhong's dog thief  The south of Jinhua under control is less than 600 miles away. As long as he is willing, he can reach the city of Jinhua within six days, and join forces with Geng Jingzhong and the dog thief within ten days.  It will be difficult for Zhejiang to have a foothold in size, so what worries and hidden dangers will there be for Lu Yifeng's dog thief?"

    "Don't open your mouth if you don't understand military affairs!" Kang Mazi suddenly said, "What do you know? Lu Yifeng's thief is more cunning than a fox, and he will never join forces with Geng Jingzhong's thief!  It's just to weaken our Zhejiang army of the Qing Dynasty, so that our Zhejiang army of the Qing Dynasty can only protect itself, without the power to make progress, and then continue to serve as a shield for this dog thief to resist Geng Jingzhong's dog thief, so that this dog thief can be in the south of the Yangtze River  Don't worry about the future, and welcome my army to go south with peace of mind!"

    "Huh?" Kang Mazi's confidant Mingzhu, Suo'etu, Zhang Ying and others present were all taken aback. They couldn't help but secretly glanced at each other, and thought together: "Our master, when will we be able to do so in the military?"  Do you have such a unique insight?"

    Looking at the inexplicably surprised lackeys, Kang Mazi couldn't help feeling a little proud, then turned to Huang Xiyan and asked, "Huang Aiqing, in your opinion, what will Lu Yifeng's dog thief do next?"

    "Master, from the point of view of a slave, the smartest way for Lu Yifeng to be a thief is to follow the example of Emperor Taizong Wen of the Qing Dynasty, robbing Hangzhou of money, food and population and returning to the north, and abandoning Hangzhou." Huang Xiyan replied respectfully: "Lu Yifeng  If the dog thief does this, not only will he be able to further strengthen his strength, but he can also concentrate his strength to meet our Qing army's counterattack. If Lu Yifeng's dog thief refuses to give up Hangzhou due to his greed, then he must stay in Hangzhou with heavy troops to fight for us.  The main force of the Qing Dynasty provided a godsend opportunity to defeat all its troops."

    "I think so too, I hope this Lu Yifeng bastard will make a mistake once." Kang Mazi nodded decently, as if all these wise judgments came from his own opinions.  After thinking about it for a while, Kang Mazi turned to Suo'etu and asked, "Suo'etu, how is the preparation of the money and food for the Southern Expedition that I asked you to prepare?"nbsp; "To tell you the truth, the imperial court can only support your 120,000 troops for half a year at most." Kang Mazi said solemnly: "So, I can only give you half a year.  I can only rely on myself to figure out a way, and I can't get it out anymore."

    "The imperial court is in such a critical situation? The power of the whole country can only support 120,000 troops to fight for half a year? Hasn't the imperial court been using military coins to raise military supplies?" Yue Le's face turned pale again, but he knew  It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and it's impossible to change the military's food and grass out of thin air, so after thinking about it carefully, Yue Le bit the bullet and said: "The servant will do his best."

    "It's not about doing your best, it's about doing it. Another day you can go to the capital city to see how difficult it is." Kang Mazi said darkly: "Within half a year, if you can't take back Jiangnan  If you can't get through the water transportation, I will not be able to sit still in this country."

    Yue Le also heard from his family members that the food prices in the capital and Zhili had skyrocketed several times, so he nodded, expressing that he understood, and asked: "Master, can the master agree to the third grace that the slave wants?"

    "I can promise you this." Kang Mazi nodded, and then said: "I can give you the power to control the soldiers and horses in Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces, but you must also agree to one condition."

    "Please tell me clearly, master." Yue Le replied respectfully.

    "Don't make up your own mind and give up any of the provinces without authorization." Kang Mazi said solemnly: "I know, you have always wanted to use some kind of plan to drive away tigers and wolves, give up Zhejiang and let Lu Yifeng and Geng Jingzhong's thieves go on their own.  Kill each other, give up Jiangxi and let Wu dogs kill each other, but my country is hard-won, not to mention giving up a province of land, even a prefecture and a county. I am also sorry for the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, you must  Only by agreeing to this condition will I allow you to lead the army to go out."

    Yue Le was a little desperate, but regretted that he had spoken out his plan in front of Kang Mazi too early, which made Kang Mazi wary.  After repeated calculations for a long time, Yue Le played with a flower gun, and said: "What the master said is very true. The slave's previous thoughts were indeed a little passive and timid. After being scolded by the master several times, the slave has also repented and will never give up.  Land. It¡¯s just that the two armies are fighting, and you must not stick to the gains or losses of a city or a place. Therefore, in a decisive battle, the slave may choose tactics to retreat in order to win the whole army, temporarily abandoning one or two state capitals, and return to the master  understand."

    "You still want to use your gun to drive away tigers and devour wolves." Kang Mazi was not stupid, and immediately heard Yue Le's implication, but considering that there was no one available in the court other than Yue Le, and Yue Le's words were  It made some sense, so Kang Mazi gritted his teeth, and finally said: "Well, I promise you, I will understand your difficulties."

 Chapter 322

    ?

    Several flowers bloomed, one for each branch. It was almost the same day when the news of the fall of Hangzhou reached the capital. It was also the day of November 12th in the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi.  Finally, under the personal leadership of Fatty Lu, the legion embarked on the road back to their old nest in Nanjing.

    It was not because Fatty Lu wanted to repent and did not want to give up Hangzhou to Zheng Jing after so much tossing. The main reason was that the preparations for the retreat were too troublesome. The mountains of grain and grass in Hangzhou city needed to be loaded into trucks and ships.  The raw materials of gunpowder need to be loaded on trucks and ships, and the gold, silver, jewelry and valuables copied from the Hangzhou Fan Treasury, Treasury, Micheng, and Qing officials¡¯ homes have to be loaded on trucks and shipped away, right?  In addition, there are the assets of Fatty Lu's fianc¨¦e Xiaojiali's family and Xiaojiali's dowry. Can they still stay in Hangzhou for others to grab?  Shouldn't it be loaded into a truck and shipped?

    In this way, the size of the fat army's retreat was terrifyingly large, using more than 30,000 vehicles, more than 3,000 ships, and recruiting more than 100,000 civilians¡ªalthough it is easier to recruit civilians in the slack season, but  There were still not enough able-bodied civilian men recruited in Hangzhou City. As a last resort, Fatty Lu had to order Wu Qi, the prefect of Huzhou, and Guo Yingfu, the commander-in-chief of Huzhou, to urgently recruit a group of civilian men from Huzhou Prefecture, which met the transport force needs of the Fatty Army.  And on the day of the retreat, the Fatty Army's transport convoy and fleet alone stretched for more than 20 miles. The official roads and canals were filled with crowds of people, and cars and boats were everywhere. It was so spectacular that it was almost impossible to use pen and ink.  describe.

    The Fat Army took so many good things from Hangzhou City in one go. The Taiwanese army who took over Hangzhou City said they were not jealous.  A word to accuse Fatty Lu, because Fatty Lu not only left them enough food and food for a year and a large amount of military supplies, but also took away only the Hangzhou provincial treasury, government treasury and the homes of some Qing officials.  The food property and private property of the Fat Army have not been moved at all, and most of the property and property of the gentry and landlords have not been taken by the Fat Army. It can be said that more than half of the food and property have been left in Hangzhou by the Fat Army. As long as the Taiwan army is not afraid of losing popular support  , If you want to grab and grab, there are still opportunities.  As an ally, the Fat Man Army has achieved this level, what else can the Taiwan Army say?  How could he have the face to accuse Fatty Lu?

    In addition, Fatty Army has another thing that makes Taiwan soldiers unable to open their mouths. Since the main force of the Qing Army in Zhejiang came to counterattack Hangzhou City in two ways, Fatty Lu worried that the Taiwanese army would not be able to gain a stable foothold from afar, so he sent Gao Hongchen and Hutong  Chun led 10,000 troops eastward to Shaoxing, joined forces with the Taiwanese army, fought a battle with the Shaoxing Qing army that had reinforced Xiaoshan in Qianqing Town, and fired more than 2,000 rockets to blow back the Shaoxing Qing army, forcing the Qing army on the southern front to fight back.  Withdrawing to Zhuji County to garrison temporarily relieved the urgent need in Hangzhou and bought time for the Taiwan army to gain a foothold in Hangzhou.

    In the end, the Fatty Army pulled out the small nail of Xiaoshan County, and gave Xiaoshan to the Taiwan Army. For this reason, the Fatty Army was delayed for a few days to return to the division. The benevolence and righteousness have reached this point. Liu Guoxuan and other Taiwanese generals are grateful.  It's too late, what else can I say?  What face is there to talk?  So there was no way, Liu Guoxuan could only lead the soldiers and civilians in Hangzhou to send Fatty Lu back north, watching Fatty Lu take away the golden mountain and silver sea, and at the same time, he had to be grateful to Fatty Lu, tears of gratitude.

    Fatty Lu is indeed bad enough. Considering that he is carrying so much food, grass and baggage back to the north, if he takes Huzhou and Yixing to go home, he has to go through the Tianmu Mountains. The road is difficult and it will take a long time, so Fatty Lu simply chose  Going back to Nanjing through Jiaxing and Suzhou, they opened the way with elite soldiers to prevent the Jiaxing Qing army from attacking the city, and ordered Li Tianzhi to send troops to respond, and then sent envoys to contact the Jiaxing Qing army, and directly borrowed the road from the Jiaxing Qing army, threatening to say that Jiaxing  If the Qing army is willing to give way honestly, then the fat army will not invade each other!  If the Jiaxing Qing army dared to fire a shot and an arrow to prevent the fat man's army from returning north, then the fat man's army would directly attack the city with force, and after breaking the city, the fat man's army would kill Jiaxing's Qing army!

    After reading Fatty Lu's letter sent by the envoy, the blood vessels on the foreheads of the Qingpingnan General Laita and Jiaxing Guard Mu Helin who had fled to Jiaxing almost exploded, almost wanting to chop the Fatty Army envoy, and then  Let the soldiers go out of the city to fight to the death with the Fatty Army!  But looking at the only 6,000 Qing troops in Jiaxing City, and thinking about the Fat Army Li Tianzhi's army in the north, and recalling the tragic end of the field battle with the Fat Army in Yixing, Laita and Mu Helin still swallowed honestly.  After taking this breath, he ordered the entire army to guard the city and not to go out to fight¡ªthat is, not to go out of the city to intercept.

    On November 16th, the transport fleet of the Fat Man Army arrived in Jiaxing and passed through the canal under Jiaxing City. More than 3,000 large and small ships stretched for more than ten miles, and it took half a day before they all passed the Jiaxing Wharf.  But the defenders dared not fire a single shot, let alone shoot an arrow.Taiwan, Qingyang and other places raised their troops to take over Wu Jun's entry into Shaanxi.

    In addition, Li Changju, the leader of the Peasant Army, also took down the important town of Guyuan. Zhu Long and his son, the deputy general of Dingbian, set up troops to attack Dingbian, Jingbian, Yan'an, Suide and Mizhi, and Sun Chongya, the deputy general of Shenmu, followed suit.  Zhu Long and his son revolted in Yulin, and Chen Shan, the guard of Qinzhou, and Wu Chengyin, the guard of Lanzhou, also changed their flags to present the city successively, and there was chaos in Shaanxi.  The old traitor Wu took advantage of the momentum to capture Fengxian, Baoji, Meixian, Fufeng and other places one after another, and rushed to the city of Xi'an before the Packed Army led by Tong Guogang detoured to Shangzhou for reinforcements, forcing Tong Guogang and Zhou Peigong to rescue Tongguan.  Will be so stupid to eat Wu Jun rockets on the flat ground, Xi'an will fall into the hands of Wu Jun, it is a foregone conclusion.

    ?By the way, if the old traitor Wu successfully captures Xi'an and Tongguan and takes advantage of the victory to go straight to Beijing, then the fledgling Fatty Lu will stop thinking about dominance, and just bow down to the old traitor Wu honestly.

    On the battlefield in southern Jiangxi, Fatty Lu's restless uncle, Shang Zhixin, had joined forces with Wu Shizong's army to enter Ganzhou after completely controlling the Qing army in Guangdong.  The defenders of the Qing army abandoned the city and fled one after another, and retreated towards the northeast of Jiangxi.  new threat.

    In addition, on the battlefield in southern Zhejiang, the regrettable Geng Jingzhong army has also launched an offensive again. The Zhejiang Qing army was completely chaotic due to the attack on Zhejiang, its base camp, and lost its unified command.  Breaking through the blockade of the Qing army and "joining forces" with the fat army, there has been a glimmer of hope.

    So far, there have actually been two main battlefields in Huaxia. One is the Shaanxi-Gansu battlefield where the old traitor Wu personally sits in the battle between the Wu army and the Qing army.  Just a matter of time.  One is the south of the Yangtze River battlefield centered on the Fatty Army, and the battle is going on around this rich land. There are Fatty Army, Zhejiang Qing Army, Jiangxi Qing Army, Anhui Qing Army, Geng Jingzhong Army, Shang Zhixin Army, Zheng Jingjun, Ma Baojun,  The ten armies of Wu Shizong Army and Xia Guoxiang Army do not belong to each other.  , the situation is beyond description.

    The one who made Fatty Lu vomit blood is still behind. After Kang Mazi smashed his bones, sucked his marrow, and scraped the ground three feet to build a new army of 120,000, he didn't send reinforcements to the desperate Shaanxi-Gansu battlefield. Instead, he went to the Jiangnan battlefield.  Directly pointing to Fatty Lu who is firmly established and fledgling!  As a result, the Jiangnan battlefield, which was already extremely complicated, became even more chaotic and complicated.

    In the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, on November 23rd in the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, Kang Mazi issued an imperial edict to officially restore the title of Prince Yue Le'an, and reappointed the title of General Dingyuan Pingkou.  Dong Weiguo, the former governor of Jiangxi, was named the deputy general of Dingyuan Pingkou.  Fatty Lu!  The slogan is also the same, restore Jiangnan, and kill Lu Yifeng alive!

    Probably because he felt that the Jiangnan battlefield was not complicated enough, and that Fatty Lu hadn't had enough troubles. After Yue Le, who hated Fatty Lu, took office, the first order he gave was to Tian Fengji, the governor of Zhejiang who was in charge of the war on the southern front of Zhejiang, and all of them.  Command Mahada, order Tian Fengji and Mahada to immediately abandon the three prefectures of Jinhua, Yanzhou and Quzhou in Zhejiang Province, no longer serve as a free shield for the fat army, transfer food, grass and heavy troops to Shaoxing and Ningbo prefectures, keep the forces on standby at any time, let go of Geng  Jingzhong went north to the passage, and asked Geng Jingzhong to stab Lu Fatty in the back!

    ?

    The composition of the Southern Expedition Army of the Qing Army led by Yue Le is as follows: Commander Dingyuan Pingkou General An Prince Yue Le, Deputy Commander Jiangxi Governor Dingyuan Deputy General Dong Weiguo, the main generals are Annan General Hua Shan, Pingni General Bi Liketu  , General Anyuan Shangshan, General Dingnan Baylor Dong'e, General Muzhan Zhengnan, General Laita Jingnan, General Liu Xingzhong Zhengni, General Wu Dan Xuanyi, General Foniyu General Zhenwu, etc., and Pan Di  More than a dozen Mongolian Taiji, including Chahun, Ezier, Durbert, Ombu, Zashbatur, and Norbubandi, led the Mongolian cavalry from the headquarters to march south with the army.

    In addition, Tu Hai, a former university scholar who had committed crimes and meritorious service, was appointed Minister of the Ministry of War and governor of Jiangsu, and he also went out with the army, but Kang Mazi and Yue Le were already frightened by Tu Hai's character of running away, so the uncle and nephew agreed not to give any  Tuhai's slight military power is only for him to advise the military to formulate strategies and tactics, and to use his cunning, suspicious, cunning and vicious expertise to fight against Fatty Lu, who is notorious for his scheming.

    The lineup above seems to be brilliant. There are several princes Baylor of Qingqing alone, and there are also many famous generals, and the number of troops led by them is also quite large.  Ten thousand, including more than 40,000 Mongolian cavalry, were quite powerful, and were basically the last possessions that Kang Mazi could come up with.  However, to use such an army to restore Jiangnan and eradicate Fatty Lu, the biggest scourge of the Qing Dynasty, to be honest, Kang Mazi was not very confident, and the commander of this army, Yue Le, was even less confident.

    In fact, Yue Le took the job bravely, because Yue Le knew very well that this army seemed to be large in number, and the generals were quite capable, but the quality of the soldiers was by no means comparable to that of the Southern Expedition Army led by Oboi back then.  up.  Eighty percent of the more than 70,000 Han soldiers were new conscripts, who had only undergone military training of a few months, seriously lacking battlefield experience and had never seen blood; the remaining 20 percent were from Zhili  The local green battalion in Shandong is regarded as a second-line army. Its combat effectiveness is the same as that of the Qing army in Zhejiang, which was completely abused by the fat army, and it is far behind the elite of the Southwest.

    The nearly 20,000 Mongolian cavalry are relatively elite, and they are quite proficient in horseback riding and shooting, but the problem is that the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian cavalry who once swept half the world has already degenerated to a horrible level, with backward tactics, lack of experience, and internal friction  It is extremely serious. Even the former Ming army during the Chongzhen period could learn from them from time to time and earn military exploits. Over the years, the former Qing court has been using Lamaism to limit population growth. Only one son in a family can marry and have children.  , all the other monks became lamas, and the quality of the soldiers was once again weakened. Yue Le didn't dare to have much expectation if he could entrust them with important tasks¡ª¡ªYue Le dared to count on these pampered and spoiled Mongolian only sons to fight bloody battles with the fat army  ?  Don't be kidding, people still have parents, wives and children to support!

    What's even worse is the Mite Prefecture Army, the core backbone of this army. In order to quell the San Francisco rebellion, Kang Mazi had recruited troops from Liaodong several times before, recruiting soldiers.  The reason why more than 30,000 Mizhou troops were able to form again this time was entirely because Kang Mazi relaxed the recruitment requirements.  With such a little force.  Yue Le naturally dare not even imagine what will happen to the army formed in this way when it encounters the fat man army who has experienced many battles and is armed to the teeth.

    The quality of the soldiers is so appalling, Yue Le, who has fought many times with the old traitor Wu and Fatty Lu, naturally does not want to be the coach of the Southern Expedition, and come to the south of the Yangtze River to make a fool of himself and ruin his reputation for a lifetime, but the problem is that Kang Mazi has made up his mind this time,  If Yue Le doesn't take up this job, then Kang Mazi will have to go on the expedition himself!  In order for the 120,000 innocent soldiers of the Qing Dynasty not to die unjustly, and for the country not to be ruined with great difficulty by Grandpa Wild Boar Skin and Uncle Huang Braised Chicken, Yue Le had no choice but to bite the bullet and take over the hard work.  Like rushing ducks to the shelves, they took this hopeless army to the south.

    By the way, because he didn't have much hope, Yue Le had already left a suicide note to his wife and children before leaving, and was ready to die for the mite.

    On November 26th, the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi, the third day after the departure of the Southern Expedition Army, the Mongolian mite army led by Yue Le arrived in Baoding and joined forces with General Amida, the Zhili Green Camp soldiers stationed here.  At the same time, the size of the team reached more than 80,000 people, and more than 40,000 new recruits from the Green Battalion were still in Shandong, waiting for Yue Le's main army to go south to join forces.  It was also in the afternoon of that day, in the Chinese army tent outside Baoding City, that Yue Le called together the main generals of the Southern Expedition for the first time, and held the first military meeting since the expedition to discuss the strategy and tactics of the Southern Expedition.

    Shen Shizheng, the guard leader of the Chinese Army and the only eighth son of Yue Le's 20 sons who has grown up, Sai Leng'e, reported in the back tent, saying that all the generals had arrived, and Yue Le was sitting beside the map sand table with deep browsAbandoning one or two state capitals, you can't give up a province, otherwise, I can't explain to the emperor, and the emperor can't explain to the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty.  "

    Tuhai smiled wryly, and said in his heart, so I want to ask you if you have the courage.  Over there, Dong Weiguo said again: "Master Tu is too pessimistic, we have decided to give up the northwestern part of Zhejiang and let Geng Jingzhong go north, even if Geng Jingzhong doesn't turn against Lu Yifeng immediately, at least we can hold him back  A part of Lu Yifeng's army of thieves, our Qing army will attack on both sides, is there still no chance of winning?"

    "It's hard." Tu Hai shook his head, and said helplessly: "Lu Yifeng's dog thief gave Hangzhou to Zheng Jing's dog thief. To put it nicely, it means keeping promises and fulfilling its promise. To put it bluntly, it means pulling Zheng Jing into the water and asking Zheng Jing to help him guard the south.  At the gate, if the dog thief Geng Jingzhong wants to fight with the dog thief Lu Yifeng, he has to pass Zheng Jing. The dog thief Lu Yifeng can try his best to smash the Huzhou government, as long as he defends the isolated city of Huzhou with a small amount of troops, Zheng Jing  After defending the isolated city of Hangzhou, Geng Jingzhong can no longer threaten the hinterland of Lu Yifeng's thief, and Lu Fatty's thief can also concentrate on dealing with threats from the north and west."

    Dong Weiguo had nothing to say, but Mu Zhan, who was listening quietly, interjected, "Master Tu, if our Qing Dynasty abandons Jiangxi, we are going to let the old thief Wu Sangui and Lu Yifeng fight with each other, but what if these two thieves don't know what to do?"  What should we do if the fire doesn¡¯t rise? Or if Lu Yifeng¡¯s dog thief was easily subdued by Wu Sangui¡¯s old thief, wouldn¡¯t our Qing Dynasty have no hope of taking back Jiangnan?¡±

    "I would rather let the old thief Wu Sangui get Jiangnan than see Lu Yifeng's doggy continue to grow in Jiangnan." Tu Hai said surprisingly, "The old thief Wu Sangui is at best a tiger, the king of beasts,  There is still a chance of being subdued! Lu Yifeng is a dog thief, so let him continue to swim in the sea. When his wings are full, and he has dragon horns, dragon claws and dragon scales, then no one in this world can subdue him  Already!"

    Speaking of this, Tuhai paused, and added: "Besides, the old thief Wu Sangui is over sixty years old, and he is still seriously ill if there is accurate information. The thief Lu Yifeng is not yet thirty years old. Let him  If we continue to sit down, our Qing Dynasty will have no hope."

    "What Mr. Tu means is that between Lu Yifeng's dog thief and Wu Sangui's old thief, we Daqing have to gamble." Yue Le opened his mouth again, and said slowly: "After gambling that Wu Sangui's old thief won the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River, he can't get it."  The world, so I would rather give Jiangnan to Wu Sangui, an old thief, than Lu Yifeng, a thief."

    "That's the reason." Tu Hai nodded, and said without any ambiguity: "The humble official even believes that, in the current situation and circumstances, apart from this hope, the only hope for our Qing Dynasty is to look forward to two thunderstorms from the sky.  , hacked Lu Yifeng's dog thief and Wu Sangui's old thief to death together!"

    No one laughed, and the corners of Yue Le's mouth twitched a few times. After a while, he said weakly: "I can gamble, but I have promised the emperor that I cannot gamble."

    "My lord, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, I will say something that I am not afraid of beheading." Tu Hai said slowly: "The emperor doesn't want to gamble, lord, you can help the emperor gamble."

    "How can I gamble for the emperor?" Yue Le asked doubtfully.

    "My lord, you just promised the emperor not to give up a province of land." Tu Hai lowered his voice, and said in a dark voice: "But if Wu Sangui's army launches a fierce attack on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, we will not be able to defend the northeastern Jiangxi and southern Anhui.  A state capital, let the other army of Wu Sangui's old thief enter the south of the Yangtze River, can the emperor blame you for resisting the order?"

    Yue Le's eyes lit up, and after a long time of calculation, Yue Le sat up straight, gritted his teeth and said, "For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, I will recite the sin of losing the city and land. Master Tu, from today onwards, you will be responsible for collecting and sorting out detailed works."  Spy on Wugou¡¯s army¡¯s movement information, and report every move of Wugou¡¯s East Route Army at any time¡ªit¡¯s best to get in touch with Wu Dog¡¯s East Route Army.¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 324

    ?

    On the third day of Fatty Lu¡¯s direct army entering Suzhou, which was also the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the 24th day of November in the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi, there were 16,000 members of the Suzhou Corps of the Fatty Army who had not been trained in actual combat.  He personally led the whole army to go out and take the official road of Kunshan to the east to attack the only Songjiang Mansion in southern Jiangsu controlled by the Qing army.  Fatty Lu stayed in Suzhou for the time being, commanding the army and civilians to ship the military pay and food that the Fatty Army had snatched from Hangzhou, and send them back to Nanjing's old nest along the canal, while providing backup for Li Tianzhi.

    Fatty Lu said that he personally served as a backup for the Suzhou Legion, but everyone in the Fatty Army Suzhou Legion knew very well that Fatty Lu came to check the training results of the Suzhou Legion after its expansion and formation, and to observe whether the Suzhou Legion could continue to grow.  Otherwise, with the current high morale of the Fatty Army's immediate legion, it would be almost no difficulty to break through Songjiang, and there would be no need to exchange defenses with the Suzhou Legion for the Suzhou Legion to attack Songjiang.

    It is precisely because they understand this truth that the Suzhou Legion is ready to show its strength. It took the unlucky Songjiang Qing army to try their swords, and showed Fatty Lu a good start.  Li Tianzhi, one of the oldest lackeys of Fatty Lu, the commander of the Suzhou Legion, and Yang Yingyuan, the old man of Wu Jun, the deputy commander of the Suzhou Legion, also specially called all the generals to hold a pre-war mobilization meeting when they went out.  You must take the lead, encourage the morale of your own army, and show your military power to satisfy Lu Fatty and make the enemy frightened!

    God made a big joke with the Suzhou Corps of the Fat Man Army. When the Suzhou Corps approached Shanghai County, the north gate of Songjiang Prefecture, the Shanghai garrison, which was only a small county at that time, had already abandoned the city and fled, and the order to abandon the city was still the Qing army.  Hutu, the guard general of Songjiang Mansion, did it himself, but Chen Zhizuo, the magistrate of Shanghai, did not escape¡ªbut he surrendered the city immediately, and cut off the mouse's tail before the fat man's army could make a move, and forced the people in the city to cut it  With a mouse tail, the Fatty Suzhou Legion couldn't even find a single object to vent their anger on.

    There was no other way, Li Tianzhi and Yang Yingyuan had no choice but to attack Songjiang City without stopping. Not only did they arrange the siege steps in advance, but they also sent a separate army to the south to set up an ambush in Xiaozheng Village, the only way from Songjiang to Jiaxing official road.  , preparing to intercept the Qing army's rescue troops from Jiaxing, and to ambush Hutu's defeated army out of the city, trying to kill the thousands of Qing troops in Songjiang City, and show off the might of the Fatty Army's Suzhou Legion!

    On November 28th, soldiers from the Fatty Army's Suzhou Legion approached the city of Songjiang. Without saying a word, Li Tianzhi immediately asked Qin Yong, who was sent by Fatty Lu to assist him, to line up more than 300 cannons outside the north gate of Songjiang.  A siege ladder and fifty folding bridges used to deal with the moat were also lined up. In addition, thousands of lightweight flying ladders were prepared, and they swore with red eyes that they would break the city in one battle!  In addition, Yang Yingyuan, Li Tianzhi's deputy, also personally selected and formed a siege squad consisting of a thousand people. He promised to reward him heavily.  Thirty taels of silver reward!

    The preparations for the siege had just been completed, and the fat army's artillery team had just started loading ammunition. Li Tianzhi, Yang Yingyuan and other senior generals of the fat army were stunned. A white flag was raised above the Songjiang city tower!  Immediately after the suspension bridge crashed to the ground and the city gate opened, Zhang Shengqu, the prefect of Songjiang who had already cut off his braids, led countless common people and gentry out of the city to kneel and surrender.  The order to abandon the city at Lai Tower had already taken 5,000 Zhejiang Qing troops in the city to flee for their lives yesterday evening. They were still walking back to Jiaxing by the small road on the Jinshanwei and Pinghu lines, so they avoided the ambush of the Fatty Army.  intercept.

    "Little Hutu, I'll fuck your mother's eighteenth generation ancestor!" Li Tianzhi and Yang Yingyuan yelled together, thinking of paying the bounty for the undamaged 1,000-person death squad, Li Tianzhi and Yang Yingyuan wanted to tear Hutusheng apart  impulse!

    When the news spread back to Suzhou, Fatty Lu, who had planned to take the opportunity to observe the situation of the Suzhou Legion, was also dumbfounded. He was not only proud of his military power that had frightened many dogs in Zhejiang, but also secretly admired Laita's wise choice. The Qing troops in Songjiang and Jiaxing  There are not many defenders. If you insist on defending the two cities together, you will only disperse your troops. It will be easier for the fat army to defeat each other. Rescue each other in the field battle, but you can't do the fat army, let alone stop the three good rockets of the fat army. It is better to give up  There is still some hope and some certainty in defending Jiaxing alone.

    "Boss, General Li Tianzhi and General Yang Yingyuan also ask for orders to go south to attack Jiaxing City. Please show me whether they agree." Wang Shaobo asked respectfully with Li Tianzhi's military report.

    Fatty Lu thought for a while, then quickly shook his head and said: "No more fighting, let Li Tianzhi leave an army to defend Songjiang, and the main force should return to Suzhou. Zhang Shengqu, the prefect of Songjiang, will stay in his original post and will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. Other Songjiang officials only need to surrender.  Yes, no one is moving,sp; Fatty Lu smiled and said: "The soldier replied, are we stupid? If the sniper with poor marksmanship is killed, the enemy will replace it with a sniper with accurate marksmanship, and we will be in trouble?!  "

    All the thieves in the fat army laughed, and they all said that the story was good and reasonable, and that soldier was also very smart.  Only Yao Qisheng was thoughtful, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he blurted out: "Could it be that the general wants to say that we are fools if we kill Yue Le's army of dogs first? Since Yue Le's army of dogs can't deal with us at all  If he poses a threat, we will ignore him, and we can keep him, so that the Emperor Mangou will not draw a more powerful army from other battlefields."

    "It's only half right." Fatty Lu smiled again, and said, "Actually, that stupid sniper has another benefit to the enemy, that is, it wastes expensive special ammunition¡ªHuang Ji has already made it very clear in his letter, full  The Dog Court can only support Yue Le to fight for half a year at most. Jiangxi Mangou, Anhui Mangou, and Zhejiang Mangou control areas all have some grain-producing fields, and the grain and grass are barely enough for themselves. But Yue Le, his rear Shandong Zhizhi  Li, is it a grain-producing land? Can the grain and grass be self-sufficient?"

    "Of course not. Zhili Shandong, which is full of dogs, has always been maintained by water grain. Now we have cut off the water transport full of dogs. The grain produced in those two provinces is not enough for the people to eat themselves. What else can we support the army of dogs?"  Gao Dejie also came to his senses, and said happily: "So, we must not kill Yue Le's army full of dogs first, we should try to delay the time with him as much as possible, let him, a stupid sniper, keep firing empty guns, and keep wasting precious dogs  Food, grass, and military pay, even if the dogs are full in the future, even if they return from other battlefields, there will be no military pay, food, and grass to use!"

    "It's good to understand." Fatty Lu nodded in satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Actually, for our army, leaving Yue Le's army full of dogs has a better use, a better use."

    "What's the use?" The fat man asked quickly again.

    "The secret, don't let it out!" Fatty Lu laughed and let it go, but a long-lost figure gradually appeared in his mind, an ugly figure with a face full of holes.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 325 The Greatest Enemy

    ?

    On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Fatty Lu led the main force of the Fatty Army back to Nanjing City. Everything in the city remained the same. The military team of the old line family who married Fatty Lu was operating normally, and the civilian officials led by his good friend Xie Dong also took care of the site.  Hearing that Fatty Lu had returned in triumph, this gang of lackeys and accomplices, led by the pregnant Yu'er, came to the gate of Jinchuan to welcome Fatty Lu back, and continued to harm the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.

    On the way home, Fatty Lu was quite worried about one issue in spite of his busy schedule, that is, whether Rong Yuer's narrow-minded personality and jealous temper could accommodate Huang Xifeng, a little pepper¡ªin those days, Rong Yuer  Wu Xiaotu, the authentic mistress that Fatty Lu is marrying, is regarded as a thorn in the flesh, and seeing Xiaojiao, a little vixen that Fatty Lu secretly brought back, can't the big jealousy of Ling Yuer be turned upside down?

    The fact seems to be exactly the case. When I saw such a delicate and pretty little beauty like Xiaojiao in Lu Fatty's arms, her white and tender jade-like hands were still tightly hugging Lu Fatty's fat neck with a double chin.  .  The authentic mistress Line Yuer really felt like she was about to go crazy, her knuckles were clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white, and the raging anger burst out from her big beautiful eyes, not only seemed to want to turn Fatty Lu's whole body fat into oil residue, but  Quan Jie and Xie Dong, who were familiar with her character, were all scared out of their wits, scrambling to get out of the way, quietly praying that they would not suffer from the fish pond, and secretly praying for Fatty Lu.

    "Dear, you will be reborn in bliss, you can ask for more blessings, we can't help you anymore - kiss your property and field, we will help you take care of it."

    What Fatty Lu, who was already prepared to see death as home, didn't expect was that at the moment when the volcano was about to erupt, Little Pepper, who had been tired of Fatty Lu's arms just now, suddenly jumped down on his own initiative, and his childish and pretty face was full of tears.  With a cute smile, he trotted up to Line Yuer, pulled Line Yuer and asked sweetly: "Sister, if Xifeng guessed correctly, you must be sister Line Yuer Line, right? No wonder Brother Lu thinks about sister every day, sister  Sure enough, she is beautiful and gentle, when Xifeng grows up, if she can be half as beautiful as your sister, Xifeng will be satisfied."

    Although Little Pepper praised Line Yu'er for being gentle, it is typical to talk nonsense with eyes open, but she stretched out her hand without hitting a smiling person, and was flattered by such a small, beautiful and cute little girl, and Line Yu'er, who eats soft but not hard, is still very angry  Eliminate, the anger is greatly reduced.  Xiaojiao took a good look at his words and quickly touched Yu'er's tall belly again. He was very happy and said sweetly: "Sister Yu'er, I heard that you are about to give birth. When you give birth to a son for Brother Lu, you must give birth to him."  Xifeng hugs, Xifeng likes children the most, Xifeng must take good care of him with her sister."

    "Sister Yu'er, your bracelet is so beautiful. It must have been given to you by Brother Lu, right? Brother Lu is so biased. I've been with him for so many days, and he hasn't even bought me a piece of jewelry until now. Sister Yu'er  , you have to decide for Xifeng."

    Being flattered by Little Pepper like this, one sentence is sweeter than a sentence of sister Yu'er's cry, no matter how angry Yuer is, he will get angry at Little Pepper, and temporarily gave up the plan to tear Fatty Lu to pieces on the spot, just stared at him viciously.  Glancing at Fatty Lu, he murmured in a low voice, ¡°Fatty, you¡¯ll have to wait and see, my old lady.¡± Then he pulled Pepper to the side and whispered, letting Fatty Lu temporarily escape this catastrophe¡ªmaybe even a catastrophe of murder.  .

    The little ghost who secretly admired the little pepper was relieved to be eloquent. It was also at this time that Fatty Lu finally discovered a person who appeared here unexpectedly.  There was a traitorous guard of old Wu, Zhou Chaobao who was quite familiar with Fatty Lu. Fatty Lu didn't dare to neglect, so he hurried up to hold his hand and asked, "General Zhou, did the prince send you here? Or General Jinwu?"  Sent you? When did you arrive?"

    "Back to the general, the last general was sent by General Hu Guozhu, and he just arrived in Nanjing yesterday." Zhou Chaobao replied respectfully: "At first, the last general planned to go down the river to meet the general, but General Quan and Master Xie told the latter that  , the general will be able to return to the city in triumph today, and the last general will stay here to wait for the general to return in triumph. By the way, the last general has not had time to congratulate the general.  The richest place in the south of the Yangtze River has established a world-class feat."

    "There, there, General Zhou is polite." Fatty Lu hurriedly humbled, and said with a wry smile: "I went deep alone without permission, and I don't know if General Jin Wu scolded his mother in Yuezhou, and I was planning to find a way to plead guilty in front of General Jin Wu  , where you dare to claim credit.¡±

    "The general is being polite." Zhou Chaobao said with a smile, "I heard that the general captured Jiangnan, and the first thing General Jinwu did was excitedly yelling, 'The dogs are finished'. How could he be willing to punish the general?  ?¡±

    Say a few polite words, Fatty Lu?Xia Guoxiang joined us and let Xia Guoxiang restrain us.  "

    Fatty Lu frowned, and there was only one thought left in his mind. If Yue Le also deliberately released water on the western front of his own army, and let Prime Minister Xia Guo go to the south of the Yangtze River to join him, what should he do?  If you continue to submit to the old traitor Wu, you can only fight the world for the old traitor Wu, and fight against Xia Guo. Will the old Wu Jun, the core core of your army, agree?

 Chapter 326

    ?

    It's hard to say two things with one mouth, and the chaotic and complicated situation in the Jiangnan battlefield can't be explained clearly in two sentences.  The 120,000 Qing army led by Yue Le, the main force of the unhindered Southern Expedition Army, arrived at the Yellow River Xiba Ferry in Qinghe County, Jiangsu Province on the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month in the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi.  Baoying County, Yangzhou Prefecture, the northernmost place controlled by the Fat Man Army, is less than a hundred miles away.

    Due to lack of knowledge of the enemy's situation, the cautious Yue Le was not in a hurry to cross the river, but hurriedly summoned Cai Shiying, the traitorous bannerman Cai Shiying, the governor of the Miqing Water Transport in Huai'an City, and Yang Yingyao, the prefect.  In Huai'an), go to Xiba Ferry to report the enemy's situation.  Cai Shiying and Yang Yingyao didn't dare to be negligent when they heard the order, so they hurriedly left the guard Wu Zhanyang to guard the city, and brought a heavy gift to the Xiba Ferry to kowtow. It's a pity that Yue Le is a more practical character among the kings of the Qing Dynasty. For Cai Shiying  He didn't even look at the presents presented by others, and asked, "Wu Gou in the south, is there any change?"

    "Return to the lord, the next official sent more scouts to investigate carefully according to the lord's order, and found that Wu Gou had no other changes except to strengthen the city defenses everywhere." Cai Shiying replied respectfully.

    "What about Hongze Lake?" Tu Hai was concerned about another matter, "This year, the Yellow River broke its embankment in Henan and diverted its course in the upper reaches of Hongze Lake, so there must be a lot of sediment rushing into Hongze Lake  , how is the situation at Gaojiayan?"

    "The situation at Gaojiayan is a bit serious." Cai Shiying replied honestly: "Since the Shunzhi Dynasty, the Yellow River has breached every year, and the water of the Yellow River has invaded Hongze Lake many times.  Although we tried our best to rescue and repair it, there was little success. However, this year the Yellow River burst, and the river rushed into the sea near Huoqiu, Anhui Province. A large amount of yellow sand rushed into Hongze Lake.  Gaojiayan, which was in disrepair, burst out two openings, flooding a lot of fertile fields, and also caused a serious reduction in grain production in Huai'an this year."

    "God damn Lu Yifeng's thief!" Tu Hai cursed, "No wonder this slick thief refuses to take down Huai'an and defend by the river. He must have discovered the danger of Gaojiayan in Hongze Lake. He would rather not have Huai'an Mansion.  Don't want the Yellow River defense line, and don't want to take this risk!"

    "Prince An and Master Tu, please don't worry." Yang Yingyao, the prefect of Huai'an, who is also a traitor Zhengbai Banner like Cai Shiying, hurriedly said, "It is winter now, and there is little water from the upper reaches of Hongze Lake, and the lake level has dropped a lot.  At least, Lord An and Lord Tu can cross the river with confidence."

    "Be careful." Yue Le turned to Tu Hai and said, "Master Tu, you should be careful. Tomorrow, you will take a few water control officials from the Ministry of Industry and go to Gaojiayan in Hongze Lake to make sure there is no danger.  Decide whether to cross the river."

    "Zha." Tu Hai agreed without hesitation, while Cai Shiying and Yang Yingyao, two traitors from the banner over there, looked at each other in dismay, thinking that it was difficult for us, Lord An, to deal with Mr. Tu, and we would not even believe our report, so we had to do it in person.  Seeing is believing after a trip, it seems that we will work together with them to suppress thieves in the future, and we will have a hard time for a while.

    Next, Yue Le couldn't help but ask Cai Shiying and Yang Yingyao about the situation in Huai'an City, mainly about the situation of soldiers, horses, food and grass in Huai'an City, as well as the situation of the Fatty Army in Yangzhou Prefecture south of Huai'an.  Cai and Yang reported the truth, saying that there were about 4,000 troops in Huai'an City, and another 2,000 township militiamen could join the battle. However, due to the diversion of the Yellow River and the breach of Hongze Lake, the grain production in Huai'an was reduced.  Apart from the grain in the treasury, there are only more than 50,000 shi of grain in the city, which is barely enough for the local army in Huai'an until next year's autumn harvest, and it is really unable to prepare food for Yue Le.

    As for the garrison situation of the Fatty Army in Yangzhou Prefecture, Cai Shiying and Yang Yingyao don't know much about it. They only know that the Fatty Army has heavy troops stationed in Yangzhou City and Zhenjiang, but the exact number of troops is not very clear. The only one who fully understands the situation is the one closest to Huai'an  Baoying County Fatty Army, there are only about 2,000 Fatty Army stationed in Baoying County, and most of them are composed of refugees from the Yellow Flood Area recruited before, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong.  In addition, Cai Shiying and Yang Yingyao also have accurate information, that is, the fat army in Baoying City does not have much military rations, and it is supplied by the Gaoyou Granary once a month.  The Fat Man Army is not far from defeat without a fight.

    Cai Shiying and Yang Yingyao, two novices on the battlefield, thought that Fatty Lu didn't pay enough attention to Baoying, but after hearing this situation from Yue Le and Tu Hai, these two old sparrows on the battlefield shivered together, and said together: "  Damn Lu Yifeng's dog thief! Baoying's army is definitely a lure army, deliberately pretending to be false, luring our army to cross the river and step into his ambush circle! Don't be fooled, absolutely can't be fooled again!"

    ? In the early morning of the next day, Tu Hai led a group of mite cleanersThe truth, of course this king understands.  "

    At about the same time, in the city of Nanjing, Fatty Lu, who was worrying about the enemies coming from all directions, welcomed another uninvited guest, an envoy sent by Zeng Yangxing, the commander of Geng Jingzhong Army's right army, an officer of Jingnan Palace, a native of Zhangpu, Fujian¡ª  ¡ª Huang Kun!

    This Huang Kun is not very well-known, but his elder brother Huang Yong is quite famous in the coalition forces of Wu, Geng and Zheng, three kings¡ªit's just notorious.  When Geng Jingzhong raised troops, he was worried that his prestige was not enough and his reputation was too bad to convince the public, so he sent Huang Yong and Huang Kun brothers to Taiwan to contact Zheng Jing, persuade Zheng Jing to send troops, and Geng Jingzhong joined forces to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and promised to send it to Zheng Jing  After passing Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Fujian, as a foothold, Zheng Jing, who hated the dog so much, was naturally overjoyed when he heard the news. He immediately agreed, and personally led the army to gather in Penghu, preparing to send troops to support Geng Jingzhong.

    The bad thing happened to Geng Jingzhong's emissary, Huang Yong. Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing had just reached an alliance, and he immediately reported to Geng Jingzhong the situation in Taiwan, which was extremely exaggerated.  , the soldiers are disheveled, the armor is not neat, the ships are moored scattered, and there are very few-of course, this is not entirely an exaggeration. Zheng Jingtai, which has been blocked by the Qing Dynasty for many years, is indeed on the verge of collapse.  It is definitely not like what Bao Yi said, he can easily spend millions of taels of silver to honor a certain Lord, and it is not as prosperous and prosperous as Taiwan in the late Qing Dynasty.

    Huang Yong tried his best to belittle his allies, and even persuaded Geng Jingzhong not to fulfill his promise to give Quanzhou and Zhangzhou to Zheng Jing as a foothold in the mainland.  Severed the covenant with Zheng Jing and prevented Zheng Jing from landing by force.  As a result, coupled with Geng Jingzhong's confidant Liu Yan's brother's instigation and discord, Geng Jingzhong, who was also in the water, actually wrote a letter to Zheng Jing to break the contract, prohibit Zheng Jing from landing, and sever the covenant with Zheng Jing!  It made Zheng Jing furious, and also angered Zhao Desheng, the commander-in-chief of Haicheng who sincerely opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty (appeared in Chapter 231 of this book). In anger, Zhao Desheng contacted the generals of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou to start an uprising, and greeted him.  Zheng Jing's army landed successfully, and Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing turned against each other.  Later, it was the old traitor Wu who came forward to mediate the conflict between Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing, making Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing use Fengting as the boundary and not to invade each other, which temporarily quelled the dispute between Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing.

    The story is far away, let¡¯s get down to business, seeing Huang Kun sent by Zeng Yangxing as an envoy, Fatty Lu inevitably frowned, because according to the information that Fatty Lu had, when Huang Yong provoked Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing to turn against each other, this Huang Kun was also there  Among them, it was Huang Kun who sent a letter to Huang Yong and desperately instigated and belittled Zheng Jingyou's army in front of Geng Jingzhong.  It doesn't bode well for the fat men on the border.

    Sure enough, after entering the city of Nanjing, Huang Kun's money-greedy, lustful and arrogant face was immediately exposed. He not only boasted arrogantly and exaggerated the powerful combat power of Geng Jingzhong's army in front of the fat man's army generals, but also hinted at threatening the fat man's army officers and soldiers, and asked Fatty Lu for help.  The military rations demand military pay, and even molested Huang Xifeng, the fianc¨¦e of Fatty Lu, whom he bumped into by accident, Little Pepper. Seeing that Pepper was pretty and young, Huang Kun thought that Pepper was just Fatty Lu Xingyuan's servant girl.  She wanted to do whatever she wanted, so she reached out to touch Xiaojiali's tender buttocks without saying a word.

    As a result, the fat man's army, who had been suffocated for a long time, finally broke out. Seeing Xiaojiao screaming and crying, An Jiarong, the nephew of Fatty Lu's Yi nationality, was the first to rush up and smashed Huang Kun away with one punch.  Gao Hongchen and Hu Tongchun punched and kicked Huang Kun rolling all over the floor, howling like ghosts and wolves.  Fatty Lu, whose fianc¨¦e was being molested over there, couldn't bear it any longer, and shouted an order, "Shoot me out with sticks! Hit me out of Xingyuan! Hit me out of Nanjing City!"

    "General, please calm down." Yao Qisheng hurriedly persuaded: "General, although this Huang Kun is a scoundrel and despicable, he is always the envoy of our friendly army."

    "Fucking friendly envoy!" roared Fatty Lu, he raised his leg himself, kicked Huang Kun's stomach, who was being held up by Hong Xiguan and Xiao Erlang, and shouted, "Go back and tell Zeng Yangxing to join forces against the Qing Dynasty!"  Fuming, if you want military pay and rations, send another envoy who speaks human language! Send another animal like you as an envoy, don¡¯t blame me for not giving him face, cut it off with a knife! Shoot out!¡±

    "Great General, spare your life, Great General, spare your life!"

    Amid the cries of ghosts and wolves, Huang Kun, who was already covered in bruises, was beaten away by Fatty Lu's own soldiers, but Fatty Lu was still angry, and he picked up his teacup and smashed it on the back of Huang Kun's head.  If you want to turn your face, turn your face earlier, I can save some food and military pay! If I start a war with you, I will have an excuse not to send troops to the west!"

    Note: As early as the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Hongze Lake was formed as a hanging lake due to the diversion of the Yellow River. In the sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Pan Jixun served as the governor of Hecao.  It is already more than ten meters above the ground.  The phrase "Down Gaojiayan, Huaiyang will not meet" is recorded in Pan Jixun's "River Defense Overview".  (To be continued.

    "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    Nestled in Fatty Lu's arms, Little Pepper was crying like pear blossoms and rain, dying, her childish and beautiful face sobbing and crying into a little tabby cat, which made people feel cute and pitiful at the same time.  Fatty Lu had no other choice, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and hug Xiaojiali in his arms in front of Yu'er, who was a big vinegar jar, and comforted her softly in her ear: "Hey, don't cry, it's not your fault  , it¡¯s all about Geng Jingzhong¡¯s emissary¡¯s human face and beast¡¯s heart, it has nothing to do with you, be good, don¡¯t cry.¡±

    "Yes, yes, but I was overwhelmed by that bastard that." Fatty Lu persuaded for a long time before Little Chili choked, and asked pitifully, "Mr.  gone?"

    "Nonsense." Fatty Lu smiled wryly, wiped away the tears for Little Pepper and said, "Is your husband-in-law like that? Besides, if you were touched by him on the waist, I don't want you, is it possible?"

    "Really? You swear?" Little Pepper raised her teary face and asked nervously.

    "I swear." Fatty Lu raised a hand resignedly, and said very seriously: "As long as I, a little boy, stop crying and behave obediently, I will definitely continue to want her."

    "You are so kind, Mr. Pepper." Xiaojiao finally felt relieved, and finally laughed through his tears. He habitually hooked Fatty Lu's fat neck, and gnawed on Fatty Lu's fat face.  In this way, Line Yuer finally couldn't bear it anymore, she gave Fatty Lu a sneaky look, pulled the little chili pepper out of Fatty Lu's arms, and said, "Sister, don't disturb Mrs.  , Mr. Shaobo to discuss military affairs."

    Little Pepper still listened to Lan Yuer's words, and got down from Fatty Lu's fat legs very honestly, and Lan Yuer sternly yelled at Fatty Lu again: "Fatty man, you are not allowed to speak to Geng about sister Xifeng.  Jingzhong makes the slightest concession! Not to mention that Sister Xifeng is still your unmarried wife, even if she is not, she is just an ordinary citizen under your rule.  It's also slapping you in the face, slapping our Guangxi Yungui soldiers in the face, if we don't give us an explanation, we don't want Geng Jingzhong as an ally!"

    "That is, that is." Fatty Lu nodded and bowed and said: "Madam, please rest assured, my husband will send an envoy to contact Geng Jingzhong immediately, and ask him to give our army an explanation and apologize."

    "It's not too bad." Line Yu'er snorted coldly, pulled up the little pepper and walked, threatening as she walked: "Don't try to play tricks, don't think that I don't know the virtues of you, a fat man, for what benefit?  Swallow all your anger! I don¡¯t care about other things. Sister Xifeng¡¯s matter is absolutely not acceptable. If you¡¯re amazing, talk to Geng Jingzhong with swords and guns. Are we still afraid of him? Even if the prince doesn¡¯t fight, our Guangxi army will fight!¡±

    Fatty Lu, the king of soft rice, kept nodding and bowing, and promised again and again. He respectfully and personally sent Line Yuer, who was married to a military team, out of the signing room. He didn't return to the signing room until Line Yuer dragged Huang Xifeng away until he could no longer see anyone.  In the middle, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he was relieved, and interpreted the miserable situation of a man with soft rice - his wife's rice is really not that delicious.

    "Boss, it's not easy to deal with the aftermath of this matter." It was at this time that Wang Shaobo said cautiously: "Although we speak with swords and guns, our army is definitely not afraid of Geng Jingzhong's gang of mobs, but our army is currently facing a big enemy, full of dogs.  With the situation under pressure, Xia Guoxiang is watching the tiger on the outside, and there are old people from Yungui who are loyal to the prince, only obeying the prince's orders, and completely turned against Geng Jingzhong, our situation is even more difficult."

    "Of course I know this." Fatty Lu said with a sad face: "But you have all seen the situation at that time. Geng Jingzhong's envoy Huang Kun is not as good as that. Is it okay if I don't say it?  The reputation of being a bastard is still light, and Geng Jingzhong will think that I am weak and can be bullied, and will go further, take what we want and bully us wantonly."

    "That's right, I agree with my boss. If my unmarried wife was molested, I would fight that man!" Zhu Fangdan echoed with righteous indignation¡ªas if he had never molested other people's wives and fiancees before.  Same.

    "That's right, but Geng Jingzhong has an excuse to start a war against us." Xie Dong said hesitantly: "Geng Jingzhong was coveting our Jiangnan, but he was worried about the relationship between allies, so it's not easy to tear it apart.  Now we beat his emissary out of Nanjing City with a stick, and he tore up the covenant and started the war, so he is famous for his example."

    "Master Xie, I don't agree with what you said." Zhu Fangdan said unconvinced: "Why did we send Geng Jingzhong's emissary out of Nanjing? Isn't it because that bastard named Huang Kun molested the boss??Prince Wu Er, who snatched his own gold, silver and jewels, also found a reason. He immediately summoned all the generals in Wuchang to announce the truth, and then slapped the table and shouted: "Listen to me! From today, from now  In the beginning, without Lao Tzu's permission, who dared to give Xia Guoxiang a military ration or a rocket, and I cut him off personally! When will Xia Guoxiang give Lao Tzu an explanation, Lao Tzu's prot¨¦g¨¦ Lu Yifeng, and Lao Tzu's Wu family?  , when will I consider giving him food and weapons!"

    "Second prince, we sent 50,000 shi of military rations to General Xia Guoxiang just yesterday." A Wu Yingqi, who knew his master's temperament well, reminded him cautiously.

    "Send someone to chase it back! If you don't listen, chop it up immediately!" Wu Yingqi kicked over the table and shouted with red eyes, "Tell the food security team, isn't Xia Guoxiang loyal to Geng Jingzhong? He wants to find Geng Jingzhong for the military rations."  Go, I would rather feed the dog with my army rations than give it to him!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 328: Release Water on the Western Front

    ?

    ? Sunrise and sunset, the moon is full and the moon is waning, autumn goes to winter, and auspicious snow falls. Unknowingly, the pace of time has quietly entered the first month of the second year of the lunar new year, and at the same time entered the new year of the 14th year of Qingkang Mazi.

    For the Eight Banners parasites in the capital who are used to eating, drinking, and having fun, it is undoubtedly an extremely difficult and bleak New Year.  The road rebels fought bloody battles, and most of them were dead, injured, missing, or unknown. The rest of the old, weak, sick, and women and children struggled to survive.  With the ever-increasing price of rice, food and goods, they are all counting the rice grains and putting them into the pot. There is not much meat on New Year's Eve, and there are no new clothes or shoes on the first day of the new year.  There are also many girls from mite families who are even more miserable. Because Ama was drafted into the army, she couldn't find anyone to give her first night when she got married.

    Compared with the Han people, the Eight Banners parasites are actually lucky. The poor Han people in Gyeonggi, Zhili and Shandong are living a miserable life.  Due to the increase in population, over-exploitation of land, and climate change in Shandong Province, Zhili has long been unable to achieve food production. In addition, the water transport was cut off by Fatty Lu, who killed thousands of dollars, to support the Qing court, hundreds of thousands of parasites and mites  The heavy burden of the southern Qing army was all passed on to them. Not to mention the extremely harsh taxes and labor, they had to be plundered by the military currency issued by the Qing court, and they had to be exploited and searched by corrupt officials. All kinds of oppression and exploitation  As a result, before the first month arrived, most of the people's homes were cut off from cooking.

    Prices are soaring. A sesame seed that once could be bought by a big man is now generally sold for 50 yuan a piece, and a pair of cloth shoes with 20 yuan copper coins is now sold for at least one tael of silver¡ªif it is military currency, it costs three taels.  The body of a girl with a yellow flower is not worth five catties of food, and the lives of the Han people are not as good as a lame donkey. Especially in remote and impoverished places, tragedies of cannibalism have occurred.  The common people complained endlessly, and the local officials searched desperately while thinking about how to surrender to the rebels. The Qing court was frowning, and they all counted on Yue Le's Southern Expedition Army to wipe out the Jiangnan rebels as soon as possible, re-open the water transport, and let the Eight Banners  The parasites can go back to the good old days when they parasitized and sucked blood from the Han people all over the country.

    As for Kang Mazi, besides having to shut down Chengde Mountain Resort and Changchun Garden completely, all of Kang Mazi's hopes were pinned on his cousin Yue Le alone.  If Fatty and the gang of rebels do something, the economic collapse will kill Kang Mazi!  No, Yue Le's army had just arrived at the edge of the Yellow River, and Kang Mazi had already issued an order to urge Yue Le to cross the river as soon as possible to fight Fatty Lu.

    After receiving the imperial decree from Kang Mazi urging him to cross the river for a decisive battle, Yue Le could only smile wryly, and promised to give himself half a year, and now he is here to urge him, and in a few months he will not be ordered to receive thirteen gold medals every day  Send troops?  But fortunately, the accurate news of Fatty's army and Geng Jing's army's turning against each other has spread to Yue Le's army, and Yue Le has no choice but to write the good news of Lu Geng's turning against him as a memorial, and rush it to the capital to hand over to Kang Mazi, temporarily stabilizing the military idiot Kang.  Mazi, at the same time, sent someone to contact Shang Shan Tuhai, and asked them to organize the Qing army on the western front to release water as soon as possible, so that Xia Guoxiang would go to the south of the Yangtze River and fight with Fatty Lu.

    ?Besides, Yue Le, who knew the beauty of combining vertical and horizontal forces, had no choice but to send secret envoys to the south to try to get in touch with Geng Jingzhong's army, and secretly joined hands with the north and south to attack Fatty Lu.

    At this time, Tuhai, who was lame on one leg, and the light cavalry team led by Mite Qing Baylor Shangshan, finally arrived at the front line of the battle between the Qing army on the western front and the Wu army Xia Guoxiang's department - Anqing City.  While passing through Luzhou on the way, Shang Shan Tuhai had already conveyed Yue Le's order to Prince Kang Jieshu who was stationed here, ordering Jieshu to send troops east to Chuzhou, directly threatening Nanjing City, the headquarters of Fatty Lu - the key is  Don't let the grumpy and high-ranking Jie Shu make trouble on the Western Front.

    Facing Yue Le's strategic deployment, although Jie Shu raised doubts and worried that the Qing army would be dispersed too much, Tuhai and Shang Shan tricked Jie Shu into saying that Yue Le's move was to disperse Fatty Lu's troops and let Fatty Lu's four major armies fight on their own  , unable to support and rescue each other, it is convenient for the Qing army to defeat each other.  Jie Shu felt that it made sense, and because he hated Fatty Lu, the enemy who killed his son and cut his fingers to the bone, Jie Shu didn't say much, and immediately agreed to send troops eastward as soon as possible, and personally command the main force of the Qing army in Luzhou to wait for orders in Chuzhou.

    Monk Tuhai came to De'anqing City. The southern general Niyahan of Miqing Town, the naval admiral Gente Batulu, and the governor of Anhui Jin Fu naturally led all the Chinese and military officials of the city to greet him outside the city.  Shuncheng Beller Jin received the order in advance, and left his deputy Shu Shu to lead the army temporarily, and has already rushed to Anqing to join his former comrades in arms.  When I met my old friends who traveled south to Yunnan and Guizhou, things were different and people were different, and the ranks of titles were also very different. Naturally, I couldn't help sighing.

    ?, Afterwards, he also guaranteed not to block his grain ships and military ships, so that his grain, grass and luggage could be delivered to the front line smoothly.  "

    "Will the Xia Guoxiang dog thief believe it?" Niyahan said with a wry smile: "There is no reason to propose to draw the river as a boundary, to give up the road on the south bank and to guarantee that he will not block his grain road.  Is he going to dance?"

    "Just say that you have a grudge against me, and you want to use his hand to kill me." Le Erjin said impatiently: "The Tongling Mansion where I am stationed is also blocking his way to the east.  Start a war with me, and you say you plan to use his hands to kill me, he should believe it, and when he attacks Tongling, I will retreat to the north bank of the Yangtze River and give him the way."

    Speaking of this, Le Erjin paused again, and added: "If Xia Guoxiang's dog thief still doesn't believe it, you can give him a hostage, and hand over your son to Xia Guoxiang's dog thief, so that Xia Guoxiang's dog thief can enter the Jiangnan smoothly.  Let your son go, anyway, you will not break your promise, as long as Xia Guoxiang keeps his word, your son will not be in danger."

    Niyahan and Jin Fu stopped talking again, Le Erjin was risking their son, so they naturally couldn't agree.  On the contrary, Tu Hai said: "Don't mention the hostage in advance, send an envoy to contact Xia Guo first, and then do it according to Lord Belle's idea, saying that you deliberately let him go to Lord Belle to settle accounts, so you are willing to lend him the way. Next  How to make Xia Guoxiang fully trust you, I will figure out a way."

    Niyahan and Jin Fu finally nodded and agreed to Tu Hai's arrangement together. Immediately, Jin Fu immediately went to find an eloquent eloquent person to serve as an envoy to the Prime Minister of Xia. Niyahan, Tu Hai and others also left the table  Prepare letters and gifts, and think about how to make Xia Guoxiang feel at ease bypassing Anqing and going straight to Jiangnan.  As for Master Zhangtai Bei who was crawling on the table and got drunk, no one even took a look at him, but asked his servants to carry him back to his room to rest.

    What Tu Hai and the others never dreamed of was that they had just left the front foot, and the snoring master Zhangtai Beizi who was lying on the table suddenly opened his eyes, and continued to snore while laughing in a low voice, "Okay!"  Ah, I said it's no wonder why I have to drink alcohol anyway, and whispered secretly, so I wanted to do such a good thing to deceive the king without telling me!"

    "Hmph! Fortunately, Ben Beizi is familiar with military books, has a deep understanding of military strategy, and has an amazing capacity for alcohol¡ªI just went to the latrine to spit out some wine. Otherwise, Ben Beizi will miss a great opportunity to expose treacherous officials for my master." (  To be continued.

 Chapter 329 Backfired

    ?

    Anhui Jin Fu, who was cleared by mites, guessed that after Wu Jun Xia Guoxiang's Department and Ma Bao's Department joined forces near Wangjiang, there were indeed voices in the interior to imitate Lu Fatty's tactics of bypassing Anqing and attacking Nanjing.  Xia Guoxiang gave up the original plan to cross the river to attack Anqing, let his army cross the river and land on the south bank, and joined forces with Xia Guoxiang to go eastward by land, bypassing the solid Anqing City, and went to the south of the Yangtze River to join forces with Lu Fatty to make a fortune, so as to play a big role.  Wu Jun's strength in field battles prevented him from falling into siege battles.

    This suggestion was also strongly responded by Du Hui, the commander of the Wu Jun Navy, because Du Hui knew very well that before Xia Guoxiang fought a main force in Nanchang City that was destroyed, it took five months to fight a small city of Pengze that was killed by Lu Fatty.  It also took twelve days, which is enough to prove that Xia Guoxiang is not very good at attacking tough battles.  However, Anqing City is also a well-known and famous fortified city in the world. The city is high and the moats are deep and the terrain is dangerous. There are also sufficient garrison troops and food and grass in the city. If Xia Guoxiang insists on pulling out the nail of Anqing, even if he succeeds in the end, he will definitely suffer heavy casualties  It takes a long time.

    Instead of this, it would be better to learn Fatty Lu's raid tactics, bypassing Anqing and rushing into the south of the Yangtze River. As long as he can join forces with Fatty Lu before the army's food and grass run out, then it doesn't matter whether the food road or the back road is needed.  And the more important point is that the main force of the Wu army's navy has almost been dispatched this time, which is enough to rival the Qing army's navy in Anqing, and even has a lot of advantages, so even if Du Hui leads the navy to fight alone, there is no need to be afraid at all.  The pursuit of Anqing Navy Ghent Baturu is quite confident that he will defeat Ghent Baturu in the water battle.

    For the Eastern Wu Army, Ma Bao and Du Hui's proposition may be correct, but it is definitely not completely correct. As the son-in-law of the old traitor Wu and his powerful arm, and at the same time the current coach of the Wu Army's East Route Army, no matter how much Xia Guoxiang likes it  No matter how bad his sensuality was, he had a far-sighted vision than Ma Bao and Du Hui.  In Xia Guoxiang's view, bypassing Anqing and going straight to the south of the Yangtze River can avoid the shortcomings of the self-army's attack, but after bypassing Anqing and continuing eastward, what if there is another hard nail on the road to the south of the Yangtze River?  Once the siege fails, it will take a long time, the food and weapons will be exhausted, and the throat of the food road will be tightly strangled by the Anqing Qing army. Isn't the Wu army facing the danger of being wiped out?  At that time, Ma Bao and Du Hui may be able to escape and break through as deputy, but Xia Guoxiang will still have to be responsible for the lives of the soldiers of Wu Jun's eastern expedition!

    In addition, there is another important reason why Xia Guoxiang, who has a secret order, dare not bypass Anqing and go straight to the south of the Yangtze River.  If Fatty Lu refuses to give it the jurisdiction over Jiangnan, he must get rid of this dangerous fatty and his henchmen!  Under such circumstances, Xia Guoxiang must not only let the army maintain a certain strength to enter the south of the Yangtze River, but also ensure that the backup roads are completely unimpeded.  , Anqing, a stumbling block lying in the middle of the road, naturally had to be removed.

    It is precisely because of this that on the sixth day of the first lunar month of the second year of the Lunar New Year, when two Wu army teams arrived in Huangshiji one after another, the question of whether they should attack Anqing City also reached the climax of the dispute among the decision-making levels of the Wu army.  He and the conservatives each had their own reasons, and each had their own reasons, and no one could convince the other. The quarrel was in full swing, so intense that it was almost full of heat. Xia Guoxiang was hesitant, unable to make up his mind.  But at this time, the envoys sent by Anqing City also came to Huangshiji in a small boat with a white flag, and asked to see Prime Minister Xia Guo, saying that they had something important to discuss.

    "The envoys of the Mandogs are begging to see you? Could it be that they are here to ask you to surrender?" Xia Guoxiang was overjoyed at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help laughing.  It is really unlikely to ask yourself to surrender.  But in this way, Xia Guoxiang was inevitably even more curious about the purpose of the Qing army envoy, so he hurriedly stopped the quarreling generals of the Wu army, told them the situation, and ordered the Qing army envoy to be summoned.

    A few moments later, the envoys of the Qing army were called into Xia Guoxiang's tent of the Chinese army. He was about forty years old, with a plain appearance and a Guangxi accent, but his attitude was very respectful.  Saluting, he clasped his fists to all the generals of the Wu army present, and said respectfully: "Deng Chengchun, the governor of the Anhui chief envoy of the Qing Dynasty, was ordered to pay respects to General Pingdong of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Greetings to the General, and greetings to all the Generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

    "Who sent you? What did you do?" Xia Guoxiang asked directly.

    "Back to the general, it was General Niyahan, the southern general of the Qing Dynasty, and Jin Fu, Jin Zhongcheng, the governor of Anhui in the Qing Dynasty, who sent envoys to pay their respects to the general." Deng Chengchun replied honestly: "The general sent troops to the East by order of the prince of Zhou.  When the soldiers approached the city of Anqing, General Ni and Jin Zhongcheng knew that the mantis arm could not be used as a chariot, so they sent special envoys to report to the general.?Tuhai thought over and over again, but he had no choice but to make up his mind, slapped the table and shouted: "I personally went to see Xia Guoxiang's dog thief, and advised him to give up attacking Anqing and go straight to the south of the Yangtze River!"

    "Master Tu, are you crazy?" Shang Shan, Niyahan and others present all exclaimed, "You are an important general of our Great Qing Southern Expedition Army, what if Wu Gou sees through your identity?"

    "Of course I'm not crazy!" Tu Hai gritted his teeth and said, "And I won't hide my name to negotiate with Xia Guoxiang's dog thief, and I will tell Wu Dog's army clearly that I am Tu Hai! He is the former university of the Qing court.  Sergeant, general, the current minister of the Ministry of War, governor of Jiangsu - Ma Jiashi. Tuhai!"

    "Then what should Wu Gou do if it's bad for you?" Shang Shan asked in alarm.

    "The great thing is that the head falls to the ground. What's the big deal?" Tu Hai looked gloomy, stroking his broken leg and said slowly: "I am a useless person, my wife and children were killed by Lu Yifeng's dog thief, and my only daughter is here.  When I was thrown into the prison for the third time, I had already hanged to death, and I had nothing to worry about. Now in my heart, I don¡¯t have any other thoughts except to seek revenge from Lu Yifeng, a dog thief.  The thief went to the south of the Yangtze River and took Lu Yifeng's dog thief's head, not to mention my head fell to the ground, even if I was hacked to pieces by Xia Guoxiang's dog thief, I would be satisfied."

    "But" Shang Shan still tried to persuade.

    "Master Baylor, needless to say." Tu Hai waved his hand and said lightly: "This servant knows your intentions are good, but we have no choice but this method now. If this servant does not come back, please tell Prince An  , I have done a lot of sorry things to him before, and this time, I repay him with my life, so I ask him not to remember my previous revenge."

    Seeing that Tu Hai had made up his mind, Shang Shan, Niyahan and the others did not stop him anymore, they could only send him out of Anqing City with tears in their eyes, watching him limping alone with a white flag on his crutches  The hardships lead to the Wu army team waiting in full battle, and to the unpredictable road ahead.

    Every general of the Qing army on the city wall was bursting into tears, but Zhangtai Beizi, who was hiding in the dark, quietly spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, counted with his fingers: "Eight hundred miles should be urgent, it should be on the tenth or tenth day of the first lunar month."  Send it to the capital on the 11th, today is the 18th day of the first lunar month.

 Chapter 330 Fall short

    ?

    After declaring his identity, Tu Hai, who was regarded as a high-ranking and powerful man in the Qing court, received the courtesy of Wu Jun's officers and soldiers as a matter of course, and immediately reported to Xia Guoxiang as quickly as possible.

    Counting the time, Tu Hai was more surprised that Xia Guoxiang's reply was a quarter of an hour later than he had calculated before he finally arrived at the scene, and he was escorted by Wu Jun soldiers to the Wu Jun Zhongjun tent to kowtow.  Although Tu Hai was slightly puzzled about this, it was inconvenient to ask further questions. He just silently rode on the horses prepared for him by the soldiers of the Wu army, and under the leadership of the soldiers of the Wu army, rushed to the camp of the Wu army on the banks of the Wanshui River to receive the soldiers from Yunnan and Guizhou.  justice trial.

    When he was about to mount his horse, Tu Hai couldn't help turning his head back, glanced at the Anqing City Wall three miles away, and also glanced at Shang Shan, Niyahan, Jin Fu, and Ghent Batulu who were the size of sesame seeds on the wall, and murmured in his heart: "  Goodbye, farewell, my compatriots in Mizhou. I hope you can carry on my will and kill all the barbarians, so that we people in Mizhou can continue to own the Huahua River and Mountains of the Central Plains, avenge me, and  To avenge my family, and to avenge the people of Mizhou all over the world."

    After walking for nearly an hour under the strict escort of the soldiers of the Wu Army, Tu Hai arrived at the gate of the Liuqiao Camp located in the northwest of Anqing City, and was escorted into the Chinese Army of the Wu Army Camp without notice.  The camp was also escorted into Wu Jun's central army account almost without any obstruction.  In this big tent again, Tuhai met the long-known Wu army generals and famous rebels, Xia Guoxiang, Ma Bao, Du Hui, Guo Zhuangmou, Zhang Guozhu, Liu Hongyi, Chen Yao, Qiu Shanwo, Wang San, Wang Jinwu  , Xue Qilong, all of them are deer-headed and mouse-eyed, with hideous faces, crooked melons and dates-of course, judged by the eyes of loyal officials of the Qing Dynasty.

    When looking at the environment, the careful Tuhai also found a small detail, that is, on the ground in front of Xia Guoxiang's handsome case, some scraps of paper with handwriting were scattered, which seemed to be a torn letter.

    "Are you really Tuhai?" Of course, Xia Guoxiang was also looking at Tuhai, and found that although the old man in front of him had a limping leg, his braids were all white and his scarred face was full of wrinkles. He looked at least in his sixties.  And according to the information obtained by Wu Jun, Tu Hai is not yet fifty years old at most, which is quite different from the person in front of him in age, so Xia Guoxiang couldn't help but asked again: "Are you really the great scholar of the Zhonghe Palace who is full of dogs in the court?"  Also the Minister of Rites, Tu Hai? Or just the same name and surname?"

    "Don't blame me, General. Please correct me. I was only a scholar in the Palace of Harmony in the Qing Dynasty and a secretary of the Ministry of Rites." Tu Hai replied unhurriedly: "But now I'm just the Minister of the Ministry of War in the Qing Dynasty, and I'm also the governor of the Yamen.  The Jiangning governor who no longer exists - Ma Jiashi Tuhai. Also, when the general fought in Jingzhou, he once sent an envoy to Jingzhou City to surrender and met me. If the envoy was still by the general's side,  The general can invite him to identify him."

    For the sake of caution, and remembering that the envoy sent to Jingzhou City to surrender was still in the army, Xia Guoxiang really confessed that he found the Wu army envoy who had met Tu Hai back then to identify him.  Not a moment later, the envoy from the Wu army entered the tent, under Xia Guoxiang's order, he only saw Tuhai for a few moments, and immediately exclaimed, "Tutang, why is it really you?"

    "Is he really Tuhai?" Xia Guoxiang, Ma Bao and other Wu army generals present all jumped up and screamed.

    "It's absolutely true." Wu Jun's envoy nodded, and replied honestly: "The last time the villain was ordered to go to Jingzhou, it was Tutang who came to meet the villain. The villain will never dare to admit his mistake. It's just, just don't know how  I haven't seen him for a year, so he's getting old like this?"

    The generals of the Wu army were stunned, and they couldn't believe their ears at all. They never thought that Tu Hai, the coach of the Qing army who fought to the death in Guizhou, Huguang and the Zijun, would send himself to his door today to die.  Tu Hai answered the question from the envoy of the Wu army with a wry smile, and said slowly: "Days are like years, nights are sleepless, tortured every day, and often hear the news that sworn enemies get better and better.  Naturally fast."

    "Ha!" Xia Guoxiang finally came back to his senses, slapped the table and shouted: "Tuhai boy, I never thought you would dare to send yourself to your door to seek death! Someone, take Tuhaimangou immediately, and take him to Guizhou Qiandao  Take revenge for our Guiyang City of the Great Zhou and countless soldiers and common people of the Great Zhou!"

    "Decree!" The soldiers in the tent sang promises in unison, rushing up to hold Tu Hai down, Tu Hai did not resist, but said to Xia Guoxiang lightly: "General Xia, since Tu Hai has the courage to come here today,  I didn't intend to walk out of the Great Zhou barracks alive, but since Tuhai is already the fish on your anvil, General Xia, it's just a matter of saying whether you want to kill or cut, can you give Tu a certain time to let Tu finish his sentence?"

    Xia Guoxiang thought about it carefully, then nodded and said: "Okay, let go if you fart! But don't expect this general to spare you.With one hand raised in anger, a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes stared fiercely at Tu Hai.

    Under such gazes, Tuhai's lips trembled even more violently. After a while, two tears suddenly leaked from Tuhai's cloudy old eyes, and slowly flowed down his cheeks full of scars and wrinkles. Then his lips moved, and he opened his mouth.  A mouthful of blood spewed out, sprinkled all over the cold floor of the governor's lobby in Anhui, and the person fell straight to the ground, fainting on the spot.

    "Master Tu! Master Tu! Master Tu, don't scare us!" Shangshan, Niyahan, Jin Fu, and Ghent Baturu rushed towards Tuhai with tears in their faces, rushing to help this man who was born and died for the Qing court.  But the loyal minister of Mite Qing fell short.

    "Traitors and traitors! You should!" Master Zhangtai took a sip quietly, his handsome face was full of gloating.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 331: Zhang Beizi, the Qing God of War

    ?

    It took the doctor more than half an hour to wake up Tuhai. However, after Tuhai regained consciousness, he kept staring blankly at the roof in a daze, as if his soul had gone out of his body.  No matter how much Niyahan and the others shouted with tears in their eyes, they remained silent all the time, as if they were completely discouraged and lazy.

    After waiting for a long time to see that Tu Hai looked like this, Cao Yin and Li Xu, who had been on the road day and night for seven days, couldn't bear it any longer. They said that they would come to visit Mr. Tu tomorrow, and then they both went to Jin Fu.  The room we arranged to rest, Zhangtai was alone and Ligu did not dare to be alone with Shangshan and others, so he quickly found an excuse to patrol the city and escaped from Tuhai's ward, leaving behind Shangshan, Jin Fu, and Niyahan  The four treacherous ministers of the Qing Dynasty and Ghent Baturu took care of the even bigger traitor Tu Hai.

    It was also at this time that Tu Hai, who had been silent all this time, came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a big dream, grabbed Shang Shan's hand, and said in a low voice: "Master Baylor, hurry up, send someone  Go get in touch with Xia Guo, tell him what happened in Anqing City, let him take care of himself, and stop following the original plan."

    "Why?" Shang Shan was a little confused.  It was only then that Tu Hai remembered that he hadn't had time to introduce the results of negotiations with Xia Guoxiang to Shang Shan and others after he came back. At that moment, Tu Hai quickly lowered his voice, introduced the agreement reached between himself and Xia Guoxiang in detail, and said in a low voice: "Shang Shan  Baylor, Lord Jin, the two generals, for the sake of the long-term, we must not completely anger Xia Guoxiang's bastard, we must immediately introduce the situation to him, tell him that there has been a change in the plan, and let him take care of himself."

    "So that's the case." Niyahan nodded, and said in a low voice: "Master Tu, please don't worry, I will send people out of the city immediately in the middle of the night to tell Wu Dog that there has been a change in the plan, so that he can take care of himself."

    "General Ni, wait a minute." Shang Shan hurriedly stopped, and said in a low voice: "Lord Tu, I don't think we need to inform Xia Guoxiang's dog thief. First, we and Xia Guoxiang's dog thief are just using each other and have no friendship.  It is impossible to cooperate with this dog thief again, and it is nothing to offend him. Second, if the news leaks out, Cao Yin and Li Xu, those two idiots, will know that we are contacting Xia Guoxiang's dog thief again, and the complaint has arrived  Where the master is, we have to walk around without food."

    "There is a third." Shang Shan paused for a moment, and then added: "In Tutang, you only reached an agreement with Xia Guoxiang in the evening, and within a few hours, you said that the agreement was invalidated.  If you don't understand, what should he do if he became angry and launched a strong attack on Anqing City? You have also seen the situation of Wu Gou's attack on the city these few times.  He is very willing to die, and Wu Gou has an airship to help out, so Wu Gou is really anxious, and he is determined to fight with us to the death, even if we can finally defend this Anqing City, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties and huge losses."

    "Yes." Jin Fu echoed: "If Wu Gou is not lying, their food and grass are about to run out, so we don't know for the time being that Xia Guoxiang's dog thief will let him go back and forth to Chizhou for nothing, and use up his food and grass.  Also hurry up and repair the city defenses, dredge the moat again, and Anqing City will be as stable as Mount Tai."

    "Then it's up to you." Tuhai was indeed discouraged, laying his head on the pillow, and sighed with depression: "As a slave, I have done my best for the master, and I don't care if I break my promise."  Yu Wugou."

    Seeing Tu Hai's appearance, Shang Shan, Jin Fu, Niyahan and others felt extremely uncomfortable, Shang Shan hurriedly comforted him: "Tu Tang, in fact, you don't need to be so discouraged, you have already convinced Xia Guoxiang  The dog thief bypassed Anqing and went straight to the south of the Yangtze River. Xia Guoxiang, the dog thief will cross the river to the south bank of the Yangtze River and go straight east. After finding out that he has been fooled, maybe he will follow the example of Lu Yifeng.  That way, our goal can also be achieved.¡±

    Tuhai nodded slightly and did not speak, but Niyahan suddenly said something, and said in a low voice: "Generals, how about we just encourage Zhangtai to defend Chizhou? It is likely that the emperor suddenly sent to supervise the army.  Ninth, it¡¯s the ghost of this idiot. Tomorrow Xia Guoxiang will move his troops to cross the river. We must send troops to reinforce Chizhou. Instead of letting others guard Chizhou City, it is better to let Zhangtai guard Chizhou.  All the anger will be directed at the Chizhou army. Then even if that idiot Zhang Tai comes back alive, he will be accused of losing the city and land, hehe"

    "Great idea!" Shang Shan clenched his fist and said through gritted teeth: "Tomorrow, as soon as Wu Dog starts crossing the river, we will work together to instigate and instigate the Zhangtai dog thieves to guard Chizhou alone!"

    "Okay, let's do it like this!" Jin Fu and Ghent Baturu didn't even blink their eyelids, and they agreed to send Zhangtai to Chizhou to die - it can be seen that our Zhangtai Beizi's life is indeed so serious.Re-formed the army, while rescuing the companions who were still trapped in the sea of ??fire, they continued to go to the west gate to participate in the battle, and Ma Bao also organized a defeated army at the north gate to rush to the west gate to join the battle. After a fierce battle, they finally retreated  The Qing army team outside the west gate, but the Wu army's supply and grain carts have also been snatched and burned.

    In a rage, Xia Guoxiang led his army to the wharf of Chikou Town to hunt down the retreating troops of the Qing army. Unexpectedly, another Qing army came from the west.  The 8,000 Qing troops in Changfengling, after receiving the order from Master Zhangtai Beizi in the evening, the deputy commander-in-chief Akani, who led the Qing army, bit the bullet and led the army across the river according to the order.  Immediately crossing the river again to the north bank to flee for his life, he never thought that just after the 8,000 troops crossed the Yangtze River, they saw the fire in Chizhou City thirty miles away.  The victorious retreating troops.  Under the attack from both sides, Xia Guoxiang, who had no more weapons in his hands, suffered a big loss again. He was defeated by Akani and Zhangtai Beizi, and was forced to retreat south, watching the Qing army board the warship to cross the river,  He fled to the north bank of the Yangtze River and abducted two Wu Jun airships by the way.

    At twilight, the land battle of the Chizhou War basically ended. Zhangtai Beizi, who commanded the war, won the victory with less than ever before. After paying the price of more than a thousand troops and a city of Chizhou, he won a big victory.  The Wu army had more than 25,000 soldiers, captured two airships, and countless grenades, rockets, and three good explosives.  The Wu army suffered heavy casualties. Half of the food, grass and supplies were burned and destroyed, and more than 70% of the firearms were lost.

    At noon, the navy of the Wu army led by Du Hui arrived at the battlefield, but Master Beizi Zhangtai had already led the victorious army to escort the luggage deep into the land, beyond the reach of the warships of the Wu army.  There were non-stop rushes here, and the Qing army navy who still had strength was also watching the tiger on the river, robbing and killing the Wu army crossing the river at any time.  No matter how angry Xia Guoxiang vomited blood, he couldn't cross the river to pursue him. He could only gather up the defeated soldiers and prepare to retreat. Fortunately, there was still some food and grass left with the army.  Going east to Jiangnan is definitely not enough.

    In the battle of Chizhou, Zhangtai Beizi, who won more with less, not only became famous in the first battle, but also gave the Qing army everywhere a booster.  The glasses shocked the jaws of countless people!  The first to bear the brunt is the generals of the Anqing Qing army who have never been optimistic about Zhangtai Beizi before. When he saw Zhangtai Beizi holding a genuine copy of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and holding countless firearms and two Wujun airships, he smiled.  When they appeared in front of them full of pride, Shang Shan, Niyahan and Jin Fu fell directly from their horses to the ground, and there was only one thought left in their hearts, and they almost wanted to roar

    "It's unreasonable! How did the tree planted in the picture let this idiot take advantage of the shade?!"

    "We didn't win the Chizhou war. The one who really won was Lu Yifeng, a thief." Tu Hai commented.

    "Too bad, my life will be even more difficult in the future." Yue Le lamented after hearing the news, knowing that the day the news reached the capital was the day when Kang Mazi urged him to march south.

    "Decree, Zhangtai was granted the title of Baylor! No, the king of the county! The king of Baojun!" Kang Mazi's first reaction to the news was incoherent, and he yelled hysterically while patting the pseudo-dragon case, "Who said that we are the Qing army?  Is Wu Gou inferior in field battles? Who said that Wu Gou¡¯s firearms are invincible in the world? Zhangtai! My cousin! My Qing God of War! Didn¡¯t he win a big battle in the field? I should have appointed Zhangtai as the  Commander of the Army on the Western Front!"

    There is also Fatty Lu. After hearing that Master Zhangtai Beizi defeated Xia Guoxiang in Chizhou, Fatty Lu's jaw was dislocated on the spot. After Zhu Fangdan connected his jaw joints, the first thing Fatty Lu did was to catch Xiao Erlang, and he was very pleasantly surprised  He asked: "Erlang, is our old Lu's family related to Master Zhangtai Beizi? Helping me once or twice is not counted, but you have helped me so many times?"

    "No?" Xiao Erlang scratched his head in doubt and said: "If I remember correctly, your father, my father, and my father, the housekeeper of your family, didn't you say that your Lu family has relatives in the capital?

 Chapter 332: Reluctant to let the child fail to be a wolf

    ?

    It was Xia Guoxiang who was unlucky to plant trees in Tuhai, and Zhangtai took advantage of the shade. The real beneficiary was Fatty Lu, who was watching the fire from the other side.  Xia Guoxiang, who lost his troops and ran out of food, grass and firearms, was forced to withdraw his army. The first major crisis after the Fatty Army got rid of the direct control of the old traitor Wu finally passed.  Threats, the old Wu Jun inside the Fatty Army does not have to face the problem of standing in line and be torn apart. They can unite and work together to deal with the direct threat of the Qing Army and the Geng Jingzhong Army. The various pressures on Fatty Lu are also greatly reduced-after all,  Open spears are easy to block, but hidden arrows are the hardest to guard against.

    So far, the chaotic situation around Fat Man's Army is basically clear. The 120,000 troops led by Yue Le are entrenched in Huai'an Mansion in the north of Yangzhou, north of the Yellow River, threatening Yangzhou Mansion, the northern gate of Fat Man's Army;  The three Qing armies were stationed in Chuzhou, Tongling, and Anqing, with a total strength of about 110,000 troops. However, because of the need to defend the city and guard against soldiers from Wu Yingqi, Shang Zhixin, and Geng Jingzhong, the largest number of troops could really be put into the Jiangnan battlefield.  Only seventy percent.

    The situation on the southern front of the Fatty Army is more complicated. The Fatty Army, Geng Jingzhong Army, Zheng Jingjun, and Zhejiang Qing Army have a total strength of more than 100,000 troops, but they are interlocked with each other.  The four forces tried their best to maintain restraint, and they all hoped that the other three would fight each other to the death, and then come out to take advantage of it.  Although the Fatty Army is in the eye of the storm and surrounded by enemies on all sides, relying on the dangers of rivers, mountains and lakes, the elite soldiers also rely on the land of the world's wealth and essence, rich food and plentiful products, unless the enemy invades from all sides at the same time, otherwise it will not matter.  In any route alone, the Fatty Army has the absolute ability and absolute confidence to repel it, or even wipe it out.

    Faced with such a situation, Fatty Lu, who holds the world's granary, Huaxia Bank, with unlimited potential, of course hopes that the decisive battle will be as soon as possible, and use time to bring down the finances of the Qing Dynasty, which is on the verge of collapse, as well as Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Zheng, who are absolutely lacking in stamina.  According to the scriptures, build high walls and slowly become king, concentrate on strengthening your strength, and then show your sword to the world when the time is right.  Therefore, even though he had a good chance of winning, Fatty Lu rationally maintained restraint, and ordered the four major legions not to take the initiative to attack, and defending the territory to waste time is victory!  Enemies from all directions come if you want, Fat Lord, my fortified city weapon is waiting for you!  The jackals and hungry tigers around you are also waiting for you to leave the lair!

    Faced with the same situation, as well as Fatty Lu's shameless tactics, all of Fatty Lu's hapless opponents jumped in a hurry. There was no chance of winning the attack, and they couldn't beat Fatty Lu's fat body.  The biggest hope is that Fatty Lu will take the initiative to attack and look for opportunities to win in a more certain defensive battle, or he can count on other people to be the early birds and pawns, first consume part of Fatty Lu's strength and then come out to pick up the cheap, but in this world  Is there such a good thing?  Is there such a fool in the world who would act as a pawn to block Fatty Lu's gun in place of a dead ghost?

    Or the newly crowned Prince Zhang Taizhang is such a fool. Unfortunately, after he resumed his position as General Jingkou of Anyuan, he still commanded only Anqing's more than 30,000 troops. He was too far away from Fatty Lu, and he couldn't fight him even if he wanted to.  And although Prince Zhang deserved to die, the 30,000 Qing soldiers under his command were innocent, and Yue Le couldn't bear to let these innocent soldiers be buried with Prince Zhang.

    Therefore, there was no other way, and Wang Ye Yue Le had no choice but to focus on Geng Jingzhong, who had recently turned against Fatty Lu, hoping that he could fight with Fatty Lu first and consume some of Fatty Lu's strength.  And our Jingnan King, Geng Jingzhong, Geng Geng, has personally led 20,000 soldiers and horses, and arrived at Yiwu County, Jinhua Prefecture, which was recently occupied by the Geng Army on the 16th day of the first lunar month.  Jiangnan, use Jiangnan's abundant money and food to completely make up for the financial shortcomings of the self-armed army.  ¡ªBy the way, among the San Francisco, the poorest one is this Lord Geng.

    Arrived in Yiwu County where the main force of the Geng Army¡¯s North Route Army is located, and just learned about the specific situation in northern Zhejiang, Geng Jingzhong¡¯s buttocks have not yet warmed up, Yue Le¡¯s secret envoy has already arrived, and he asked Geng Jingzhong to send troops to fight with Zhejiang  The Qing army jointly attacked Fatty Lu and Liu Guoxuan. After the incident was completed, Yue Le gave the whole of Zhejiang to Geng Jingzhong, and tried his best to persuade Kang Mazi to allow Geng Jingzhong to proclaim the emperor and share the world with Geng Jingzhong.  However, Lord Geng is not a fool. While maintaining this relationship with Yue Lexu and the Snake, he sent envoys to Nanjing to apologize to Fatty Lu and ask Fatty Lu to provide food, grass and military pay so that his own army can attack Shaoxing and Ningbo, and pull out the Qing army in Nanjing.  The last nail in Zhejiang is to actively prepare for war and be ready to send troops north at any time.

    Prince Geng is not stupid, and our Lu Sanhao is not a fool. When Geng Jingzhong's envoy arrived in Nanjing again, the news that Xia Guoxiang was miraculously beaten away by Master Zhangtai Beizi had already spread to Nanjing.  Naturally, she didn't have a good face, not only refused Geng Jingzhong's apology, but also categorically rejected Geng Jingzhong's request for money and food, insisting that she was pure.??Of course there is.  "Yue Le smiled bitterly and said: "During the time you have been away, the master has issued twelve imperial decrees, each of which is more severe than the last, forcing our army to cross the river and go south to fight Wu Dog for a decisive battle.  "

    "If there is a chance of winning, even if there is a 20% to 30% certainty, we still need such a rush from the master?" Tu Hai sighed, but he was also at a loss for the current situation.

    "Prince An, you can't go on like this." Shang Shan frowned and said, "Xia Guoxiang's bastard was beaten away by that idiot Zhangtai's shit luck, and Lu Yifeng's bastard is gone. The biggest threat must be exhausting us.  , if we continue to stand still like this, without Wu Gou doing anything, the spittle stars in the court may drown us."

    "It's definitely not." Yue Le smiled even more wryly, "Because before I was drowned by the saliva star, I must have been stripped of the title of prince, relieved of all duties, and went back to study behind closed doors."

    Tu Hai and Shang Shan laughed together, but the smiles were equally bitter. In desperation, Shang Shan had no choice but to suggest: "My lord, why don't we just cross the river, the main force crosses the river to fight against Wu Dog's main force, maybe there is still a little bit left."  There is a chance, but if you don't cross the river, you don't have a chance at all."

    "But even if we cross the Yellow River, we still don't have the slightest chance." Yue Le said more helplessly: "Do you expect Lu Yifeng to be as stupid as Xia Guoxiang to give us a chance like Chizhou?"

    "That's not necessarily the case, as long as the main force of Lu Yifeng's thieves goes north to fight us, we will have a chance." Shang Shan replied.

    "What do you mean?" Yue Le asked doubtfully.

    Shang Shan and Tu Hai looked at each other, then Shang Shan coughed and said in a low voice: "My lord, Tu Tang and I brought back a thousand catties of three good explosives for you this time.  In the current situation, our only hope of victory may be the Gaojiayan in Hongze Lake."

    "You want to blow up the dam again, and get Jie Wugou's army to be buried with the Mongolian army?" Yue Le asked in a low voice: "This king is already doing this, but if the high Jiewu dog thief is not fooled, how can there be any?"  any solution?"

    "Xia Guoxiang's thieves have already retreated, and Geng Jingzhong is an idiot who can't be supported. I'm afraid it will be difficult to form a strong restraint on Lu Yifeng's thieves. Just killing Wu Gou Gao's Jiebing regiment may not be enough to change the situation of the battle." Shang Shan lowered his voice.  The voice said: "I don't want the child to be a wolf, we want to invite the prince's soldiers to take the risk, and the 120,000 army given to us by the dog thief in Lu Yifeng will be buried with us!"

    "The 120,000 army that the dog thief Lalu Yifeng gave us to be buried with?" Yue Le almost suspected that his ears had heard it wrong.

    Shang Shan nodded, and said in a low voice: "That's what we think. Now that Xia Guoxiang's bandits have retreated, the pressure on Lu Yifeng's bandits on the western front has been greatly reduced. If the main force of our southern expedition crosses the Yellow River and goes down south, we can quickly advance to Baoying and beyond.  In the area of ??Jieshou in the south, the 120,000 troops were all used as bait. With Lu Yifeng's dog thief's military habits, he must personally lead the troops to fight our army. We will fight and retreat, and lure the main force of Lu Yifeng's dog thief.  To the vicinity of Huai'an. Then, Lalu Yifeng dog thief and our 120,000 troops will die together!"

    "Are you crazy?" Yue Le exclaimed in a low voice, "In order to deal with Lu Yifeng's dog thief and part of his main force, you actually want to use our 120,000 army to die with him?"

    "The slave thinks it's worth it." Tu Hai opened his mouth and said in a low voice: "Jiangnan Wugou is headed by Lu Yifeng's thief, and internal hidden dangers and differences are also very serious. Except for Lu Yifeng's thief, there is no one else that can command the entire army to obey.  All the handsome talents, once Lu Yifeng died, Jiangnan Wugou immediately fell apart, and our army on the western front also had a chance. You know the virtues of our 120,000 army better than anyone else, even Lord Leerjinbeile  The remnants and defeated generals collected from Guangdong and Jiangxi are not as good as they are useless anyway, so it is better to use them to create opportunities for friendly troops."

    Yue Le was silent, and Shang Shan said: "My lord, in fact, it is just a way of saying that the 120,000 army and Lu Yifeng's dog thief will die together.  We need to keep a part of the Qingjiang River to protect the grain roads. Second, Huai¡¯an City, which is protected by the city, can be stationed to accommodate part of the army. Third, when we lure Lu Yifeng¡¯s dog thief to go north, we can retreat and transfer part of the army in advance. Our losses will not  It's that big."

    "In short, we have to forget about the danger of Gaojiayan, and make Lu Yifeng think that we have no intention of attacking Gaojiayan, but just want to fight him in Yangzhou Mansion." Tu Hai said in a deep voice: "As long as  Lu Yifeng's dog thief personally leads the troops to the north, and we will have a chance to fight us on the northern front. Therefore, we have no choice but to use 120,000 main forces as bait."

    Yue Le was silent for a long time, and finally hesitantly said: "Anyway, the emperor is urging me to cross the river so hard, I can't do without giving the emperor an explanation, so let's cross the river and camp at Jieshou first, as for whether to use your tricks or not  , make preparations secretly, and then decide based on the situation."

 Chapter 333 Math Problem

    ?

    On the 11th day of the second year of the second year, Mite Qing Kang Mazi, the main force of the Mite Qing Southern Expedition, who had been stationed at Xiba Ferry, Qingjiang County, Huai'an Prefecture, Jiangsu Province for more than two months, finally launched an operation to cross the river under the command of the coach Yue Le.  After crossing the turbulent and rolling Yellow River, set foot on the real Jiangnan land.

    ? On the same day, the Fatty Army, which was closely monitored here, worked as scouts. After confirming that the Qing army's Southern Expedition Army was indeed the main force to cross the river, it immediately sent this crucial news to the Fatty Army's headquarters-Nanjing at the fastest speed!

    The time when the news arrived in Nanjing was the afternoon of February 13th in the second year of the Lunar New Year. It was also on the same day. Fatty Lu, who has always disliked extravagance and waste and had a very poor drinker, for the first time in his temporary residence, the former governor of Liangjiang  In the yamen, a very grand festive banquet was held, and more than 500 gentry and landowners who were the most famous, hopeful, wealthy and well-off from all the prefectures and prefectures in the Jiangnan area were invited to participate. Gao Dejie, Li Guodong and Han Daren  The top general of the Fat Army was present. Although Li Tianzhi, who was stationed in Suzhou, was unable to attend the meeting due to the emergency of the military situation on the southern front, he also sent Yang Yingyuan, the deputy commander of the army, to Nanjing to attend the meeting.  And Wu Mei, the daughter of the traitor Wu, the princess of Pingxi Wangfu, also left the Humble Administrator's Garden and Suzhou for the first time, and came to Nanjing to participate in this grand event!

    The reason for holding this banquet is that Lu Bangning, the second son born to Fatty Lu by Line Yuer, is full moon. This is also Fatty Lu's first son since he got rid of the control of old traitor Wu.  Do it, and celebrate it in Daqing¡ªat least that¡¯s what the big gentry and landlords in the south of the Yangtze River, who were invited by Fatty Lu himself, thought so.  In addition, Fatty Lu, a country bumpkin, even specially stated on the invitation that there will be 20 dishes for each table at the banquet, in order to show off his wealth and wealth.  Fatty Lu secretly despised it again¡ªa bumpkin from Yunnan, and he didn't ask how many dishes the old man had for a table of flower wine.

    Contempt is contempt, Fatty Lu is also the current emperor of the south of the Yangtze River. He issued an invitation to make a full moon wine for his son. The gentry and landlords who live under the eaves have not dared to come.  When they came to Fatty Lu's Xingyuan, which was decorated with lanterns and festoons, he presented gifts and took a seat.  But fortunately, the Fatty Army went up and down, from Fatty Lu himself to the most ordinary soldiers of the Fatty Army, and their attitude towards these big landlords and gentry is quite friendly, and there is no such thing as the arrogance of other high-ranking warlords who say that life and death are all in my hands  , so the atmosphere of the banquet was not bad, and it was also very good.

    At the time of You, Fatty Lu Xingyuan's servant girl began to serve dishes. Four dishes were placed on each table, which were a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, a plate of fried shrimp with leeks, a plate of braised chicken nuggets and a bowl of spinach tofu soup.  There was no movement.  All the generals of the Wu army and the gentry and landlords in the south of the Yangtze River thought that the food would be served, so they didn't move. Fatty Lu, who had never wanted to sit in the master's seat, stood up and smiled with an invitation gesture: "Generals, distinguished guests  , twenty dishes are served, everyone please use your chopsticks, you are welcome, eat and drink whatever you want, you must enjoy yourself. Please, please."

    "Twenty dishes?" The generals of the Wu army looked at each other with the gentry, landlords, and wealthy businessmen, almost doubting that Fatty Lu could not count.  Only Gao Dejie, a high-ranking member of the Fatty Army, smiled and said, "Brother Lu, what are you talking about? It's obviously four dishes, how can you say twenty dishes?"

    "Brother Gao, count carefully." Fatty Lu pointed at the table and counted decently with a smile: "One scrambled eggs with leeks, one scrambled shrimps with leeks, two leeks (nine) is 18, plus  Serve a plate of braised chicken nuggets and a bowl of spinach soup, what are twenty dishes?"

    "Heh" There was a burst of happy laughter in the banquet hall, and Gao Dejie couldn't help laughing again: "Brother Lu, no wonder someone calls you the God of Wealth, and you really know how to count carefully. There is still such a way of counting in the world?"

    "It doesn't work if you don't count carefully." Fatty Lu smiled and said loudly: "Brother Gao, do you still remember when we two brothers killed dogs at Yuping Pass? At that time, only one brother in our army had the highest salary.  It was six renminbi a month, and it was the period of war, and the price of goods was soaring. The military salary of six renminbi was not enough to cover three tables of this kind of food and drink. The brothers were all eating chaff and swallowed vegetables, and the two of us ate in the same pot with the brothers.  At that time, we had a table of dishes like this, and we were really not in the mood to drink wine, so we threw ourselves on the table and grabbed it with our arms.¡±

    "Brother Gao, do you still remember?" Fatty Lu asked again: "When we were in a stalemate with Man Gou at Yuping Pass, a brother's horse died of illness, and we were reluctant to throw away the dead horse meat.  Cook it to add vegetables to the brothers, and Yungui does not produce salt, so I don¡¯t even want to put more salt, but just because of that plate of dead horse meat that I don¡¯t even want to put more salt, you and Brother Gao Hongchen will touch each other.  Three glasses of wine."

    "I remember." Gao Dejie nodded and said with a smile: "All the land and people under him will be snatched, so that our descendants will have no worries about food and clothing forever.

    "Follow the prince wholeheartedly, do you really follow this fat man?" Gao Dejie, Han Daren and other Wu Jun elders also began to ponder in their hearts, "The prince is nepotism, and the fat man is meritocracy. The prince's generals are like a cloud, and his relatives and friends are like a sea. In the future, the prince will rule the world. At most  The best things must be given priority to the relatives, friends and confidants of the prince. We can only eat some leftovers. But if this fat man, who will benefit the most? The son, son-in-law, grandson and grandson of the prince  There are a lot of them, we can still play without us, but this fat man"

    "Everyone, everyone." Fatty Lu waved his hand again to signal silence, and after everyone was quiet, Fatty Lu said sincerely: "Everyone, today the puppy is full moon, and you all gave gifts. I saw the gift list, and there are too many.  It's too precious. So I ask you one thing here. When you leave after drinking, please take back all the gifts you brought. Lu Yifeng is already very happy that you can support our Da Zhou army so enthusiastically.  I am satisfied, but Lu Yifeng himself cannot take any more from you."

    "How can that be done? General, please don't say that." All the gentry, landlords and wealthy businessmen hurriedly waved their hands and refused.

    "It must be taken back!" Fatty Lu insisted: "I have already said that I accept your money and food in order to turn your money and food into our common sword and fight for our common land for you.  You can receive a salary, but I will never accept any gifts from you"

    "Report¡ª¡ª!" The messenger who rushed in suddenly interrupted Fatty Lu's hypocritical defense, rushed to Fatty Lu and knelt down on one knee, holding an urgent military report over his head.

    "What happened?" All the gentry, landlords and wealthy businessmen present were shocked.  Fatty Lu kept his composure, took the military report and opened it for a glance, then immediately raised the military report and said with a smile: "Everyone, let me tell you the great news that the dog-man army led by Yue Le Xiaoer finally  Stepped into the ambush circle of our Great Zhou army! It is just around the corner to wipe out this army of dogs!"

    "So that's how it is." All the gentry, landlords, and wealthy businessmen breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly expressed their joy to Fatty Lu, while the generals of Fatty's army looked at each other in blank dismay, saying that most of the people who lead the soldiers in our army are here  , How could the full dog army step into our ambush circle?  Also, when did our army set up an ambush against Yue Leman's army, why didn't we know?

    "Everyone, please sit down." Fatty Lu greeted: "Please sit down and drink to your heart's content, my general, but I have prepared for you-a full twenty dishes!"

    ?Everyone roared with laughter, and quickly re-entered the table, drank some food, and enjoyed the'twenty' delicious dishes prepared by Fatty Lu for them.  It was also at this time that Fatty Lu quietly pulled the salt merchant who claimed to be able to plan with both hands at the same time, and said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper Yu, please do the calculation for me immediately, eighty-eight days, three catties of rations per person per day  How many catties of grain did 120,000 people eat in eighty-eight days? Calculated at one hundred and six catties of grain per stone, how many stones are converted into stones?"

    Without saying a word, Yu Lun grabbed the abacus with both hands and shook it to separate the upper and lower beads. Then his ten fat fingers fiddled with the abacus quickly and gracefully like playing a piano. After flicking for a while, he quickly answered in a low voice.  Said: "Back to the general, two hundred and ninety-eight thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven stone and ninety-five catties."

    "Thirty-two thousand war horses consume eight catties of concentrated feed every day, or eighty-eight days, how much is the total?" Fatty Lu asked again in a low voice.

    Yu Lun once again showed off his superb skill of dialing the abacus with both hands at the same time, and after a while, he said quickly: "Two thousand two million and five hundred and twenty-eight thousand catties, calculated on the basis of one hundred and six catties per stone, is two  One hundred and twenty-five hundred and twenty-nine stone."

    "That's enough, thank you." Fatty Lu replied with a smile.

    "General, what are you doing?" Yu Lun asked curiously again.

    "Of course, when will the military rations of the full dog court bottom out?" Fatty Lu smiled more happily, and said to himself: "That nursery rhyme should have been spread in the capital area, right? Kang Mazi, you must be careful."  Don't let me down."

    Jiangnan Lu, the demon dragon is flourishing, and thousands of troops are out of the army!  The true son of heaven, wield the heavenly soldiers, subdue demons, subdue monsters and slay demon dragons, retake Jiangnan and rejuvenate the Qing Dynasty!  ¡ª¡ªAccording to Fatty Lu¡¯s crow mouth, this nursery rhyme has indeed been spread in the Zhili and Gyeonggi areas under the meticulous work of Fatty¡¯s army. It has spread quietly, and it has also spread to those in the Qing court  In the ears of the censor who has nothing to do (to be continued.

 Chapter 334 Fatty Showdown

    ?

    Fatty Lu's nerves are not that strong, and Fatty Lu's attitude is not optimistic, but fortunately, Fatty Lu has a good teacher, Liu Xuanchu, who taught Fatty Lu to have a city, and let the mountain collapse in front of him without compromising, so  Until the end of the second son's full moon wine banquet, Fatty Lu never showed any flaws, which greatly stabilized the morale of the army and the people in Jiangnan.

    Otherwise, as long as Fatty Lu shows a little nervous expression in front of so many gentry and landlords, it may turn into Fatty Lu peeing his crotch because of the news that the Qing army crossed the river.  Morale is naturally very bad.

    After the banquet, Fatty Lu insisted on returning the congratulatory gifts to the big landlords, gentry and wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, but at the suggestion of Wang Shaobo, he agreed to accept a long-lived lock from each guest for his son.  It is emphasized that the longevity lock, regardless of its gold or silver quality, should not exceed five yuan in weight, so as not to add extra burdens to these landlords and gentry who have already spent a lot of money for food and grass.

    In this regard, although the guests at the meeting admired Fatty Lu's integrity and not being greedy for people's wealth, Fatty Lu's unmarried fiancee Xiaojiao often scolded Fatty Lu as an idiot behind his back, and swore that he would give birth to a son for Fatty Lu in the future.  , we must run the full moon wine and receive gifts by ourselves, and Fatty Lu, who has no economic sense, will never be allowed to intervene!

    Of course, Fatty Lu was not in the mood to pay attention to Xiaojiali's complaints. However, in view of the urgent military situation, and taking advantage of the opportunity that the top four major legions were basically present, he held a high-level military meeting of the Fatty Army overnight, together with the important generals of the Fatty Army  Discuss countermeasures.

    At the meeting, the senior generals of the Fatty Army demanded to take the initiative to strike back with iron fists almost in unison, dispatching the main force to fight Yue Le on the bank of Gaoyou Lake. The first battle will determine the victory and defeat this annoying fly!  Gao Dejie even uttered wild words, "Brother Lu, you don't need to go out yourself, brother, I can bring my own troops! The 120,000 bullshit is full of dogs, I can kill this gang of mobs with 10,000 cavalry  net!"

    "General, the last general also thinks it's time to deal with Yue Le Man Gou." Li Guodong echoed, "Before you ordered us to stand still, it was because Yue Le had the natural danger of the Yellow River to defend, and it was easy to defeat him, but now Yue Le  The main force of Xiaoer has already crossed the river, the Yellow River is not only his natural danger, but also a roadblock for his escape, it is time to kill these 120,000 dogs!"

    "General, if you are worried that General Gao's troops will not be enough, and you can't draw troops from Nanjing and Taiping Mansion." Yang Yingyuan said impatiently: "Then General, you can draw troops from our Suzhou Legion. The situation on our southern front is complicated and full of dogs."  , Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing check each other, our pressure is relatively small, the general can transfer our troops to the north to help in the battle, and by the way, you can ask the general to review the real combat effectiveness of our expanded Suzhou Legion!"

    "Looking at the topography, the Gaoyou Lake area is indeed an ideal battlefield for us to wipe out Mangou." Han Daren also expressed his opinion: "Especially the area from Baoying to Jieshou Town, with Gaoyou Lake on the west and Sheyang Lake on the east.  , to the north is the dangerous Yellow River, and our army will have a decisive battle with Yue Le Xiaoer here, which is a good opportunity to wipe out Yue Le Xiaoer!"

    The difference from before is that no matter how fierce the fat man's generals are in the decisive battle, Fatty Lu never said a word, nor nodded, and did not even stand by the map sand table to listen to the opinions of the generals as usual, while listening to the opinions of the generals  Looking at the sand table and thinking about tactics, he just sat on the handsome chair in the middle for the first time, with his elbows resting on the armrests and thinking.  It wasn't until all the generals of the Fatty Army finished that Fatty Lu asked slowly: "Brothers, I want to ask you a question. In the three battlefields of our army, the north, south and west, which battlefield is the most dangerous? The enemy platoon on that battlefield  In the second?"

    "The most dangerous enemy is of course the western front that the last general is in charge of." Han Daren who was stationed in Taiping Mansion rushed to say: "On the western front of our army, there are three full-fledged dogs, Niyahan, Jieshu and Le Erjin, all of whom are very powerful in combat.  Yes, if our army does not have the advantage of firearms and fights with equal weapons, to be honest, we will still be at a disadvantage. And that idiot Xia Guoxiang lost a lot of new firearms and two airships in Chizhou. The West Front has these weapons  , the pressure on our western front is even heavier."

    "The second should be our southern line." Yang Yingyuan took over the conversation and said: "Our southern line not only has two full-fledged troops of Laita and Fulata, but also Geng Jingzhong who has turned against us. Not only is our ally Liu Guoxuan weak  These are not absolutely reliable, and the possibility of shady us at critical moments cannot be ruled out."

    "In terms of pressure alone, our northern line is indeed relatively small." Gao Dejie also admitted: "Yue Le Xiaoer's army is just a lot of people, but the quality of the soldiers is the worst, and the weapons and equipment are not as good as the western line.  deal with."

    "The west line is first, the south line is second, and the north line is third. As long as everyone agrees with this point, I think so too.books?  "Tu Hai suggested: "Send a letter to the master, explaining the real situation of the Jiangnan battlefield, and ask the master to use other means to deal with this Lu Yifeng dog thief."  "

    "What other means?" Yue Le's expression was even more helpless, and he asked: "Our Qing Dynasty, what other means can we use to deal with this Lu Yifeng thief?"

    "Maybe, it depends on whether the master has the foresight and courage." Tu Hai said darkly: "For example, please ask the master to seek peace with the old thief Wu Sangui, draw the river with the old thief Wu Sangui as a boundary, and withdraw all the land south of the Yangtze River.  The Qing army. Let Wu Sangui, Geng Jingzhong, Shang Zhixin, Zheng Jing, and Lu Yifeng kill each other in the south of the Yangtze River! At that time, Lu Yifeng, who holds the essence of Jiangnan, will  It must be the target of public criticism!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 336

    ?

    (ps: Key revisions have been made to the previous chapter, please read it again.)

    After a fierce ideological battle, and fully considering the situation in the local battlefields in the south of the Yangtze River and the national battlefield, after repeated hesitation, Yue Le finally made up his mind and decided to write a ten-thousand-word letter to Kang Mazi to persuade Kang Mazi to change his current situation.  The counter-insurgency strategy is to stop the meaningless and hopeless all-round offensive and switch to a comprehensive defense. In addition, try to negotiate a truce with the old traitor Wu.  The army withdrew across Tongguan and the east of the Han River, and the Qing army on the southern line withdrew across the north of the Yangtze River. The land was exchanged for time in exchange for a peaceful truce between the Qing army and the Wu army.

    In order to let Mazi's nephew listen to his suggestion, Yue Le took pains to analyze the situation for Kang Mazi in the letter, explaining the reason for seeking peace with the old traitor Wu, and believed that the current situation of the Qing court, whether it is manpower, material resources, or military strength  , financial resources, weapons and equipment, and the quality of soldiers, it is absolutely impossible to independently pacify the chaos in the world. The only way is to let the south stick to North China, preserve strength, and let these rebels in the south who have their own ghosts kill each other.  Take the opportunity to recuperate and bandage the wounds, wait until the southern rebels are defeated, and then send troops to suppress the rebellion.

    In addition, Yue Le clearly pointed out to Kang Mazi that after the Qing army retreated across the Yangtze River, Fatty Lu, who holds the essence of the world, must be the target of all rebels, whether it is the traitor Wu, Geng Jingzhong, Shang Zhixin or  It is absolutely impossible for Zheng Jing to sit back and watch Fatty Lu occupy Jiangnan, where money and food are most abundant for a long time. At the same time, Fatty Lu, the most ambitious and dangerous rebel, will never give Jiangnan to others. He will definitely fight the other rebels upside down  In the end, even if he was not besieged and beaten to death by other rebels, he would definitely be severely injured, providing an opportunity for the Qing court to wipe out this most dangerous rebel!

    "If you are so great, you will be dismissed from office, and you will be imprisoned forever in the clan's mansion." After writing the last stroke, Yue Le threw down the brush and sighed, and muttered to himself: "But it is definitely worth it, as long as the master can listen  Just go in and say a few words, and our Qing Dynasty still has hope."

    In order to be cautious, Yue Le listened to Tu Hai's suggestion, and copied a copy of this ten thousand character book, and sent it to the capital in an expedited 800 miles, and handed the copy to his daughter Hesheli, the daughter of Sanfujin Sony  , Let her be sent to the palace first to the old hag of Xiaozhuang who has a great influence on Kang Mazi, and the original copy will be sent to the palace to Kang Mazi a day later.

    Passed by fast horse, the original copy of Yue Le's Wan Yan Shu was sent to the capital on February 22, and also sent to the Forbidden City the next day.  Said that it was Yue Le who was in a hurry, and stopped the poetry meeting without saying a word, and immediately asked the eunuch to present Yue Le's memorial.  And when the thick stack of memorials was sent to Kang Mazi, Kang Mazi couldn't help being startled, wondering, "Why is the Military Information Pond so thick?"

    "Return to Master, this is not the Military Information Pond Report, but the Ten Thousand Words Book of Prince An." Zhang Wanqiang replied respectfully: "So the book was not submitted by the Ministry of War, but by the General Political Envoy."

    "Slave dog, I asked you to exterminate Lu Yifeng's dog thief, why are you writing these useless memorials?" Kang Mazi scolded his uncle's ethnicity, then picked up Yue Le's Wanyan book and read it carefully.  Bian Mingzhu, Suo'etu, Zhang Ying and the others also looked at each other, and they didn't understand what memorial Yue Le was going to show. Could it be that Yue Le didn't understand how anxious Kang Mazi had become when he was anxious about the war in the south of the Yangtze River?

    "Trash! Idiot!" Kang Mazi is quite educated, and he reads at an extremely fast speed. He finished reading Yue Le's Wanyan book in less than a moment, but because of his extremely fast reading speed, Kang Mazi immediately went into a frenzy.  Throwing Yue Le's Ten Thousand Words Book into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he roared with a pockmarked face: "Trash! Trash! You are also a trash! I sent you to pacify the south of the Yangtze River, but you actually persuaded me to give up the south of the Yangtze River, and  Rebels rowing the river as a boundary! Trash! Idiot! Incompetent bastard!"

    "Give up the south of the Yangtze River?" Suo'etu, Mingzhu and the others were shocked, but without Kang Mazi's permission, they didn't dare to pick up Yue Le's Wanyan book to watch the content, so they just knelt down together and stuck their foreheads together.  Well, wait for the next one.

    "Draft the decree immediately!" Sure enough, Kang Mazi yelled again, "Remove Yue Le from the post of Dingyuan Pingkou General, abolish the king's title, demote him to a commoner, and escort him back to the Jiaozong mansion in the capital to imprison him forever!  Baylor Shangshan will take up the post of commander of the army for the time being! What are you still doing? Get up and draw up an order!"

    "What exactly did Prince An write in the memorial? Why did the master become so angry?" Suo'etu, Mingzhu and the others were even more nervous.  He kowtowed and said, "Master, please appease your anger first. Changing commanders before the battle is a big taboo for military strategists. Besides, Prince An went out for three months. Although he didn't make any achievements, he didn't make any mistakes. He dismissed him rashly"

    "Remove rashly?!" Kang Mazi shouted.I told him that I can promise to give them the Raksha Kingdom in Nerchinsk and the territory east of Nerchinsk, but the number of Raksha soldiers he promised to lend to me must be doubled!  Also, I must give me another three thousand Rakshasa muskets and matching ammunition!  "

    "Mingzhu, you immediately send an envoy to contact the Red-haired King of the Sea (the Dutch navy commander Porter) and ask him to negotiate with our Qing army, let him send troops to help me put down the Jiangnan rebellion, and sell me the new Hongyi cannon!  After this is done, I will return Taiwan to their Red Hair Country!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    At the same time, outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the old hag of Xiaozhuang also ordered in a low voice to Aunt Su Ma: "Arrange people immediately, and when I finish writing the letter, I will immediately set off overnight and rush to Xi'an day and night to take my letter."  Give it to Wu Sangui."

    "Old Ancestor, are you planning to negotiate with Wu Sangui in person?" Aunt Su Ma asked worriedly, "Will he agree? He is now strong and powerful, so I'm afraid he won't agree?"

    "His body will make him agree." The old witch of Xiaozhuang snorted coldly, turned to the south again, and said with flickering eyes: "Besides, he should also be wary of his grandson-in-law.  Find a way to eliminate internal hidden dangers for him, and he can¡¯t agree to it.¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 337 Combined attack

    ?

    From the capital to Huai'an is naturally much closer than to Xi'an, and it is eight hundred miles in a hurry. On the evening of February 28, Kang Mazi's imperial decree to Yue Le was sent to the Jieshou Camp of the Southern Expedition to the Qing Army¡ª¡ª  ¡ªAs for the content of this false decree, everyone must be very clear about it. In addition to scolding Yue Le bloody, there is also a restriction that Yue Le must come up with a concession before March 23.  Kang Mazi is satisfied with the record and has made a key breakthrough!  Otherwise, hum.

    Being scolded bloody by Kang Mazi was of course within Yue Le's expectation. After all, Yue Le's statement this time was very correct in terms of military strategy, but it was nothing to Kang Mazi's overall national strategy.  A debilitating laxative.  But what really scares Yue Le is the last sentence of Kang Mazi's false decree - if Yue Le can't produce a record that satisfies Kang Mazi before March 23, then Kang Mazi will not send anyone to arrest Yue Le and bring him back to Beijing for trial.  He will only go south to punish Yue Le himself!

    "Oops!" Yue Le slapped the table, and repeatedly complained: "The emperor has moved the mind of the imperial conquest again. If he really comes, our Qing Dynasty will really be over!"

    "Your Majesty wants to conquer in person?" Tu Hai, Shang Shan, Dong Weiguo and the others were all taken aback. After listening to Yue Le's explanation and analysis, Tu Hai, Shang Shan and the others screamed like killing pigs, "Master  What on earth are you thinking? How did you think of Yujia¡¯s personal conquest? He came to the Jiangnan battlefield in person, what is it not to give Lu Yifeng a godsend opportunity to destroy our Qing Dynasty in a single battle?"

    "Master is young and energetic, and has a high self-esteem. He has thought of conscripting himself more than once." Yue Le sighed, then slapped the table and shouted: "Master must not be allowed to take risks on the Jiangnan battlefield, we must stop it!"  The master personally conquers! Otherwise, our Great Qing Dynasty will really be over!"

    "Judging from the tone of the imperial decree, the master may want to give us one last chance." Shang Shan analyzed: "If we can achieve certain results before March 23, for example, take down a major town of Wugou, or severely injure us once  If Wu Dog is the main force, then the master will give up the idea of ??going to the south and continue to let you, the prince, lead the army. If we are still empty-handed by March 23, the master will definitely go to the south in person."

    "It should be like this." Yue Le nodded, and said: "There is no other way. Before March 23, no matter how much we pay, we must take down a Wugou town, or severely damage Wugou once, and give the master one."  Confessed."

    "That's the truth, but the question is, how can we achieve such a result?" Tuhai frowned and said, "Leaving aside the fact that Wu Gou's Yangzhou Corps has been standing still, even if they move, we may not necessarily  It can take advantage. Wugou in the two cities of Gaoyou and Xinghua is a weak point. There may be some hope for a strong attack at any cost, but these two cities are only county towns. Even if they are defeated, the master will definitely not be satisfied. Yangzhou  city¡­¡­."

    "Master Tu, how much hope do you think our army has for storming Yangzhou?" Yue Le asked.

    "Almost none." Tu Hai shook his head, and said helplessly: "The reason why our Prince Yu (Duoduo) of the Qing Dynasty was able to capture Yangzhou City back then, apart from having the advantage of artillery, another key reason was the internal strife in Nanming.  Willing to rescue each other, no one sent reinforcements to Shi Kefa, Shi Kefa fought alone, and Yangzhou was captured by our Qing army. That's it, our Qing army used to step on the corpse mountain to rush into the city wall, and now we have enough  The troops can step on the mountain of corpses to attack the city again, but if the Wugou army does not rescue each other, it is impossible to even think about it."

    "I just don't know how well Wugou's army is capable of defending the city." Dong Weiguo pondered: "Since the Battle of Anshun, our Qing Dynasty has been on the defensive, and Wugou has been on the offensive.  If we are good at defending the city, we have many ways to prevent the Wu dogs from rescuing each other."

    "What does Dong Zhitai mean is that our army's north, south and south routes will attack together, making it difficult for Wu dogs to rescue each other?" Yue Le turned his head and asked Dong Weiguo.

    "That's right." Dong Weiguo nodded and replied: "Let the Qing army in Zhejiang attack Hangzhou and Huzhou to contain Wugou's Suzhou Army; Lord Kang sent troops from Chuzhou to attack the two counties of Jiangpu and Liuhe in Jiangning Prefecture to contain Wugou.  The Jiangning Legion; Hilgen and Shuncheng Baylor joined forces to attack Taiping Mansion and restrain Wu Gou's Taiping Mansion Legion. Finally, we can deal with Wu Dog's Yangzhou Legion alone, increasing our chances of winning."

    "If you say it, you don't say it. Isn't this kind of multi-pronged attack tactic exactly what the king's previous strategic arrangement is?" Yue Le smiled bitterly in his heart, and said even more helplessly: "Although this plan is great, our army's firearms  And the quality of the soldiers is not as good as Wu Gou, even if you attack a Yangzhou army alone, I am afraid that there is not much chance of winning."

    "My lord, at this point in the matter, even if there is only a 10% chance of winning, I have to give it a try." DongFirearms were also consumed a lot in the previous battle of Dongge, so they asked Fatty Lu for reinforcements.

    "Old Yue Le finally jumped the wall in a hurry." Fatty Lu said contemptuously, "I'm sure I can't bear the pressure of Kang Mazi, so I have to take a chance and try my luck."

    "Boss, how should we deal with it?" Wang Shaobo asked: "Should we stick to the original plan, or take the initiative to repel the invading Mangou in turn?"

    "Mr. Yao, what do you think? Which battlefield should my direct army be sent to?" Fatty Lu turned his head and asked Yao Qisheng.

    "The general has already made up his mind, so why ask the students?" Yao Qisheng asked back with a smile, and then said: "Annihilating or severely injuring Mangou on the northern line will cut off the hope of the Mangou emperor's own conquest; annihilating or severely injuring Le Erjin and Niya  John's full-dog team will let Prince Pingxi take advantage of it; it is too far south to Huzhou, and it will be difficult to return to help if the other roads change. But if Jieshu's full-dog team is severely damaged or wiped out, the impact will not be so great  big."

    "Junshi Yao is indeed my confidant." Fatty Lu applauded and laughed nastyly, "I was too lazy to go on an expedition to fight Chuzhou, and exposing my strength too early cut off Kang Mazi's hope of going to the south of the Yangtze River himself, but since Jie Shuxiaoer took the initiative to send  Naturally, I won't be polite if I come to send him to his death, so I can relax a little bit when Kang Mazi's royal conquest is in the future."

    "Students will make arrangements immediately to prepare boats for the master to cross the river." Wang Shaobo comprehended, and asked again: "My master, are you going to fight Jieshu Mangou yourself? Or send a general to go out?"

    "Anyway, it's not far away, and it's easy to contact. Lord Kang and I are old friends again. If I don't make a trip in person, I'd be too sorry." Fatty Lu waved his hands generously, and then ordered: "You all get ready.  , Master Yao and Doctor Zhu will follow me to the expedition, Shaobo, you and Xie Dong will stay in Nanjing City, as for the generals, Wang Xu, Han Yuanren, Hu Tongchun and Yao Yi will follow the army, Gao Hongchen and Xiaoyong will stay behind, and the defenders will be led by Gao Hongchen  In terms of military affairs, Young Uncle, you can give him some advice."

    Wang Shaobo, Yao Qisheng and others agreed to hurry down to arrange and prepare for the expedition.  Two days later, on March 14th, Fatty Lu personally led Wang Xu, Han Yuanren and other generals to cross the river with 20,000 soldiers carrying a large number of rocket artillery.  As soon as the team set off, Fatty Lu sent a clipper to order Quanjie to abandon Liutang Mountain, which was being attacked by the Qing army, and retreat across the Chu River to lure Jieshu's army into Jiangpu County.

    Fatty Lu¡¯s courier had just set off, and when the crossing fleet was halfway across the river, Wang Shaobo sent a fast boat to send an urgent report, saying that Liu Guoxuan, the Taiwanese army stationed in Hangzhou, had discovered that the Shaoxing Qing army had sent troops to the west, targeting Hangzhou directly.  Liu Guoxuan, a widowed general, was worried that he would not be able to resist the enemy, so he sent messengers for help to Li Guodong and Guo Yingfu, and this urgent report was sent by Guo Yingfu, the fat man Huzhou defender who was relatively close.

    "You asked for help before the battle started. Do you, Liu Guoxuan, want me to send troops to take the whole of Zhejiang for you?" Fatty Lu sneered, turned to Zhu Fangdan and said, "Master Zhu, write back to Guo Yingfu and Li Tianzhi, and let them  The excuse is that our army on the northern front is in an urgent situation, and we cannot send reinforcements for the time being, and we will send troops to help Liu Guoxuan hang himself after Mangou and Liu Guoxuan are both wounded in the fight. Also, closely monitor every move of Geng Jingzhong's team, and be careful that this bastard will take advantage of the fire."

    Zhu Fangdan agreed, after writing the letter and sending the messenger, Fatty's army's river-crossing fleet had arrived at the North Shore Wharf. Before Fatty Lu had time to board the ship, Wang Shaobo's second fast boat with the messenger had already arrived at Fatty Lu.  In front of him, he presented an urgent military report from Taiping Mansion to Fatty Lu, and said: "General, the scouts of our army's Taiping Mansion Corps discovered that the Mangouleer Jin Division stationed in Tongling was dispatched in full force.  Departing on March 11th, they were heading towards Taiping Mansion, the west gate of our army. At noon on the same day, Mangou Anqing navy fleet was also found on the river. They joined forces with Leerjin Mangou and sailed eastward together.  .¡±

    "Unsurprisingly, Little Yue Le is really planning to attack in multiple ways." Fatty Lu snorted coldly, but just after he finished humming, Fatty Lu's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly asked, "Wait, what did you just say?"  ? Le Erjin was the teacher of the Mangou Navy Club on the day of departure?"

    Seeing the courier nodding and repeating, Fatty Lu couldn't help feeling a little suspicious, "Is it a coincidence? In just three days, I have received three urgent calls from the northern line, the western line, and the southern line.  On the day Mangou set out, did he join forces with Leerjin Mangou? Even if it is as expected, Old Yue Le wants my four legions to fight on their own and cannot rescue each other, but there is no need to arrange it so carefully.  Are you cooperating so well? Could it be just a coincidence that Yue Le's orders just happened to reach the hands of all the dogs in these three days?"

    Suspiciously, Fatty Lu inevitably regretted his lack of care and greed for merit, and hurried across the river to clean up Jie Shu, an annoying fly.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 338 Battle of Chushui

    ?

    The drizzle is like silk, the banners are like forests, and the Qing army team wearing red-tasseled bamboo hats has already formed a tight formation on the north bank of the Chushui River.  , the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the bank of the Chushui River, and also aimed at the south bank of the Chushui River, which was a vast expanse of whiteness.  From the commander of the Qing army, Prince Kang Jieshu, down to the ordinary soldiers, they all remained silent, anxiously waiting for the fat army to take the initiative to attack.

    The white color on the south bank of the Chushui River is covered by the white felt hats of the soldiers of the Fat Man Army. The main force of the Fat Man Army, composed of more than 20,000 soldiers, has already set up an offensive formation on the South Bank of the Chushui River. More than 50 red barbarian cannons and  One hundred and fifty pieces of cannons have also aimed at the artillery team of the Qing army on the opposite bank. The two generals Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong, who are responsible for the crossing mission, are gearing up with their team. The fat army engineers under the command of Han Yuan are already preparing  A lot of materials for erecting the pontoon bridge have been prepared, and only waiting for Fatty Lu to give an order, he will immediately rush to initiate a rush to cross, and lay the pontoon bridge to allow the main force to cross the river and attack.

    This is the second official confrontation between Fatty Army and Jie Shu after they took control of Jiangnan. The first time was in the first ten days of May of the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi.  At that time, the Fatty Army that had just entered the south of the Yangtze River was not stable, and had to divide its forces to snatch the elite sites such as Yangzhou, Suzhou, Changzhou, and Zhenjiang. Only Wang Xu and Li Jiyang's lone army could face Jie Shu, and the Fatty Army's firearms at that time  It has been exhausted, and the newly established Xuanwu Lake Arsenal has not yet started production, so that battle was fought very hard, and only Taiping City, an isolated city left in the entire Taiping Mansion, was not captured by Jie Shu.

    In the end, although the Fatty Army relied on Ma Bao's help to encircle Wei and save Zhao, forced Jieshu to return to Luzhou, defended Taiping Mansion and protected the hinterland of Jiangnan, but it also paid a heavy price.  The land was completely plundered by the Qing army, a large number of people were forcibly relocated by the Qing army, and farmland, mines, and water conservancy facilities were also destroyed. As a result, Taiping Mansion, which was also a grain-producing area, has not recovered to this day.  rear support.  It was also from that time that the Fatty Army once again forged a mortal feud with the Jieshu Army, and everyone hated this brutal and vicious beast army who took advantage of the fire.

    It is also because of the last Taiping Mansion War that Jieshu's team can be said to be the only Qing army team on the Western Front that is not afraid of the Fatty Army. It can even be said that they have a bit of contempt for the Fatty Army.  But that's all-although they also knew very well that most of the soldiers of the Fat Man Army killed in Taiping Mansion last time were recruits or surrendered soldiers.  Furthermore, because the Fatty Army of the Taiping Mansion ran out of firearms in the last battle, they could only use them sporadically, so they thought that the firearms of the Fatty Army were nothing special. Although they were powerful, their numbers were pitifully small.  Will affect the overall situation of the battlefield.

    Contempt of the enemy and self-confidence made Luzhou Qing army take the initiative to provoke the Fatty Army several times, and even went deep into the prefectural city of Chuzhou surrounded by mountains, directly threatening Nanjing City, the home of the Fatty Army.  After taking the initiative to retreat under the order of Fatty Lu during the whole festival, and after scouting the situation that the Fatty Army's direct corps had already crossed the river to the north, the complacent Luzhou Qing Army did not choose to retreat to the natural danger of Chuzhou, but unanimously demanded to go south and join the Fatty Army  In the decisive battle in the field, Jie Shu, who hated Fatty Lu deeply and knew nothing about the current strength of Fatty's army, did not hold back. He decisively ordered the army to go out of the mountains and fight Fatty Lu to the death by the open Chushui Bank.

    Of course, as a personal experiencer of the battles of Anshun and Bajiang, Jie Shu is also very aware of the power of the Fatty Army's firearms, and understands that as long as the Fatty Army's firearms are sufficient, the self-army will not only win, but even if they want to retreat completely.  Difficult.  Therefore, Jie Shu, who is quite military-minded, resolutely rejected the suggestion of his subordinates to cross the Chushui River for a decisive battle, and chose to line up on the north bank of the Chushui River, forcing the fat army to cross the river to attack. In this way, not only can the fat army's rocket power be greatly limited  Even if the battle is unfavorable, the Qing army in Luzhou will have enough time to escape, flee back to Chuzhou and defend against danger, and complete the task assigned by Yue Le to contain the Fatty Army's immediate corps in Chuzhou.

    The only thing that surprised Jieshu was that, knowing that the Qing army had already occupied favorable terrain, the fat army not only did not stop, but also did not mobilize the navy to detour to Liuhe to rush to the battlefield to support and cover the army to cross the river. Instead, they chose to collect them on the spot.  The ferry attacks.  For Fatty Lu, who has always been known for his invincibility, the only explanation for his tactics being so overbearing, besides underestimating the enemy's arrogance, is full of self-confidence.

    At noon, the fat man's army was ready to cross the river and attack. Fatty Lu did not launch an attack immediately, but sent an envoy to cross the Chushui River in a small boat whose bridge was completely destroyed by the Qing army, and came to the front of the Qing army with a white flag.  Shouted, "The Great Zhou Commander's Order to Conquer the East. There is a great disparity between the strength and the weak. The Han people surrendered and did not kill them. The Mite people only killed the four surnames of Aixinjueluo, Hesheli, Niu Gulu, and Tong Jia. The rest will not die!"

    "Fire the arrows!" Jie Shu ordered coldly, waving the flagHe rampaged vigorously, killing the Qing army with fewer enemies and more enemies, so that the Qing army retreated steadily. Jie Shu was so angry that he stomped his feet and screamed, and kept urging the Qing army to encircle and kill this lone army, but he still couldn't do it, and he even paid a lot of brave men.  Will.

    "General, do you want to send another army to meet Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong?" Looking through the binoculars at the northern battlefield, Yao Qisheng reminded Fatty Lu worriedly: "Both of them are your love, General.  Will, if something goes wrong?"

    "No, Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong can handle it. They are not white-collar workers who pay twice as much as other infantry." Fatty Lu refused indifferently, but ordered: "Send someone to send an order to the fifth wave of infantry crossing the river.  Let them bring more rockets, use rockets to bombard the dog cavalry, defend the ferry, and buy time for Han Yuanren to build a pontoon bridge."

    Fatty Lu's personal soldiers, who were in charge of delivering the order, led away. At this time, another fast horse bearing the flag of Fatty's army rushed to the south, dismounted outside the flag formation and accepted the identity verification.  Kneeling down on one knee in front of him, he presented to Fatty Lu a military intelligence report with a chicken feather on it representing the urgency. Fatty Lu put down his binoculars and opened it. After just a few glances, Fatty Lu showed a helpless wry smile on his fat face.

    "General, whose pond newspaper is it? Why do you have such a strange expression?" Yao Qisheng asked curiously.

    "Who else? Boy Han Daren." Fatty Lu said with a wry smile, "I heard that Le Erjin came to the door to die again, and Han Daren committed his old problem again, using the excuse that he couldn't let Le Erjin have too many children."  Destroying the fields of the people in Taiping Prefecture and affecting the autumn harvest, he informed me that he decided to lead the Taiping Prefecture Corps to the west of Wuhu to fight, and swore that he would never let Le Erjin slip away this time."

    "General Han Daren, everything is fine, but I am a little overjoyed." Yao Qisheng also smiled wryly.

    "Fortunately, this guy at least made a notification this time. It's better than sending troops privately without notifying Taiping City last time." Fatty Lu sighed again, and he was helpless with Han Daren's bold and adventurous character.  But just after he finished sighing, Fatty Lu suddenly felt shocked again, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Yao, what did I say in the last sentence?"

    "General, can't you? You forgot what you just said?" Yao Qisheng also cried bitterly, "The last sentence you said just now was: General Han Daren is better than last time. Last time, he didn't report and he didn't care about peace.  The city will send troops privately!"

    "Don't care about Taiping City?" Fatty Lu murmured again, and the previous doubts flashed through his mind like lightning and flint¡ªin just three days, he received three emergency calls, and Yue Le took the risk to send troops when he was obviously unsure.  The battlefield and the various soldiers and horses cooperated seamlessly even when the information could not be conveyed quickly, and they were arranged extremely carefully for no reason, forcing their four major legions to enter the battlefield at the same time, and could not free up excess troops for maneuvering in a short period of time.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "I finally understand." Thinking of this, Fatty Lu nodded, gritted his teeth and muttered: "Han Daren's character weakness must have been expected by Man Gou, and Man Gou's real breakthrough point is not in the north.  Line, but the Western Front!"

    "Miraculous Doctor Zhu, draw up two orders for me!" After thinking up to this point, Fatty Lu ignored the raging Chushui battlefield, grabbed Zhu Fangdan and ordered: "The first order is for Han Daren, tell him  You can take the initiative to go to Wuhu to fight, but you must leave 5,000 troops in Taiping City to defend the city! Also, the banners on the city walls are not allowed to show a real number of troops, you must fight less, the less the better."

    "The second order is for Gao Hongchen to lead 4,000 troops to ambush in Ma'anshan. When Mangou is found attacking Taiping City, he will attack immediately. He will attack back and forth with the defenders of Taiping Mansion.  Temporarily hand over the defense to Xiaoyong and Shaobo.¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 339 Incomplete Victory

    ?

    The battle on the banks of the Chushui River was still going on. In front of the main formation of Qing infantry three miles away on the north bank, a thousand infantry of the Fat Man Army and more than 700 soldiers of the Qing army, who were responsible for the containment task, were surrounded by Qing infantry regiments ten times larger than themselves.  Covered by fortifications, there is no favorable terrain to defend, let alone the cover of muskets and bows. It is completely shielded with flesh and blood, and stubbornly resists the impact of the Qing army infantry wave after wave;  The enemy launched counter-charge after charge.

    Almost every soldier of the Fat Army was covered in blood, and the two major generals of the Fat Army, Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong, looked as if they had just been fished out of the blood.  The lumpy flesh on the arm was still as if it had been made of cast iron, and he swung a Japanese knife and broad axe to chop it out one by one. He could still chop off the heads of Qing soldiers and split the chests of Qing soldiers like cutting apples.  Less than an hour after the battle, more than 30 soldiers of the Qing army were killed by the spring ax in the alley. Fatty Lu's nephew, An Jiarong, who was known for his bravery, had already killed more than 50 enemies.  His whole body was dyed red and white, and he was as fierce and terrifying as a Shura ghost, so that wherever the two generals passed by, the Qing soldiers didn't have the guts to stop the fight, but ran away crying like a rabbit, letting the two generals pass by.  The second general ran amok among thousands of troops, as if he had entered the land of no one.

    The ferocity of the Fatty Army not only broke the courage of the soldiers of the Qing Army, but also greatly exceeded the expectations of the generals of the Qing Army headed by Jie Shu.  If it is a large formation, then this team must be the ace army under Fatty Lu. It can fight tough battles and basically specializes in tough battles, so Jie Shu and others have long been prepared for a hard fight to the death.  It¡¯s just that what Jie Shu and the others didn¡¯t expect was that this fat army would be so tough. After being surrounded by the Qing army, not only did it not show its defeat, but it killed the large and powerful Qing army brigade  It was difficult to parry in the defeat, and the 20,000 Qing army infantry brigade was pinned down, making it impossible for the Qing army infantry to spare their hands to reinforce the ferry battlefield, blocking the northward road of the main force of the fat army.

    "Damn it, why is this team of Wu dogs so difficult to deal with? We didn't seem to encounter such a tenacious and fierce Wu dog when we fought Taiping Mansion last time?" Jie Shu cursed.

    "My lord, please rest assured that although this team of Wu dogs is fierce, they are only a single army and cannot last long," said Wang Zhiding, the traitor Zhenghong Banner, Jie Shu's right-hand man, and the mite Qing Zhenhai general who refused to surrender after being captured alive by Xia Guoxiang in history.  Suggested: "The lord can send more archers to shoot and cover, forcing this team of Wu dogs to charge continuously, consuming their physical strength. After a long time, there is hope for annihilating this team of Wu dogs."

    "Then why don't you arrange it?" Jie Shu gave Wang Zhiding a glance and shouted, "Hurry up, the pontoon bridge on Wugou's side is about to be built, and before the main force of Wugou crosses the river, I must eat this Wugou team."  Dog alone!"

    Wang Zhiding bowed and agreed, and quickly arranged for two thousand archers to be divided into two teams, surrounded by the unstoppable Fatty Army in the chaotic army, and shot arrows together to cover the Fatty Army.  After the tactics, in order to prevent the team from being completely passively beaten, Generals Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong could only lead their troops to attack the Qing army's archers with all their strength.  The charging distance of the Fatty Army's trapped formation greatly consumed the physical strength of the Fatty Army's soldiers. The fairly capable generals of the Luzhou Qing Army also took the opportunity to adjust their troops, chased and intercepted the Fatty Army with all their strength, and constantly drove the soldiers to intercept the Fatty Army's path to protect the archers.  Unknowingly, he fell into a bitter struggle of exhausting power that was constantly forced to charge.

    The embarrassing main battlefield finally had some improvement. After heaved a sigh of relief, Jie Shu quickly focused his attention on the ferry battlefield.  The performance was even more embarrassing than the infantry of the Qing army on the main battlefield. The two cavalry led by Jueluo Barkan and Zhu Lachan were afraid of the rocket formation of the fat army on the other side of the Chushui River, and they did not dare to encircle the fat army at all.  The guards at the ferry just kept charging towards the fat man's army.

    In this way, when the charging momentum of the Qing army cavalry was blocked by the fat army's carbine-rejecting guns and wooden stakes and other temporary fortifications, the cavalry's charge was completely lost, and they could only be honestly separated from the fat army.  The fortifications were cut and stabbed, using their own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths, and fell into a bitter battle. The fat man's army engineers rushed to repair the pontoon bridges. The four pontoon bridges were more than half completed.  Formed in rows, connected to form a bridge, ready to meet the main force of the fat man army who is eager to fight across the river to attack.

    "Order Balkan and Zhu Lachan to break through the interception of Wugou infantry and destroy the Wugou pontoon bridge within half an hour!" Jieshu shouted and ordered, "If not, military law will be followed!"

    "Hoo¡ª¡ª!" The orderly had just been dispatched, and the fat man's infantry team, which was already stretched to the left and right, suddenly passed.However, the necessary sacrifice of our army is still very worthwhile.  "

    "Mr. Yao understands this best. I wanted to argue with you, but it seems unnecessary." Fatty Lu, who knew he was wrong, smiled brazenly, nodded at Yao Qisheng with great satisfaction, and turned to  The generals of the Fatty Army smiled and said: "In any case, we have won the battle today, and it also proves that our army's long-range artillery reinforcement tactics on the battlefield are indeed effective and have gained a lot. General Hu Tongchun and General An Jiarong also  You played well, you played with the prestige and ambition of our army, and it deserves a big reward."

    "Thank you, General, for your compliment." Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong, whose heads were both wrapped in gauze, hurriedly thanked them happily, knowing that the Fatty Army has always been the most rewarding for military merits, and this time we can make a small fortune again.  At the end, An Jiarong suggested again: "Uncle, you'd better ask my father to bring the soldiers here quickly. Of my 800 soldiers, now there are only more than 500 left."

    "Don't worry, your father has a more important mission in Zhanyi, so he can't come for the time being." Fatty Lu shook his head, and said, "Since you have lost a lot of soldiers, let's go to our infantry.  Choose warriors at will to supplement, wrap white cloth and hold Japanese swords like you, let them melt into one with you, and then tell them that if they can receive the most rigorous training like you, and be brave and fearless in fighting and killing enemies, then they are worthy of you  Also receive three times the military pay, otherwise go back and continue to be an infantry."

    "Thank you uncle, my nephew will go to pick them tomorrow." An Jiarong happily agreed, "Please rest assured, uncle, no matter if they are Yi people or not, as long as they join our Yi people, my nephew will definitely bring them to the same level as Lao Yi  As brave and fearless as soldiers.¡±

    "Very good, I believe you can." Fatty Lu nodded in satisfaction, and praised this cheap and powerful nephew, and then Fatty Lu made a final decision: "It's decided. Since Jie Shumangou still has vitality, our army will not  Withdraw the troops, and send troops to attack Mangou's Liutangshan camp tomorrow, and we must completely scare Jieshu Mangou, so that he dare not even dream of the land in the south of the Yangtze River!"

 Chapter 340 The Battle of Gaoyou

    ?

    The weather is not fair, just the day after Fatty Lu decided to pursue the Jieshu team, and it was also the day of the second year of the second year and the 17th day of March in the 14th year of Kang Mazi. Before dawn, the battle between Jiangpu and Chuzhou  It rained heavily at the border area, and it didn't clear until it was close to noon. Father-in-law Sun, who hadn't seen him for a long time, came out of the thick clouds and sprinkled the precious sunshine on the wet Jiangpu land stingily.

    "My God, are you finally willing to let the sun shine?" Fatty Lu, who had waited all morning for the sunshine that had finally come out of the clouds, began to curse at the sky for injustice. Why did he do this when he was about to attack?  Heavy rain, adding so much trouble to yourself?  While cursing, Fatty Lu quickly ordered the main force to pull out the camp and cross the river so that he could attack the Liutang Mountain camp where Jie Shu was entrenched.

    The order was conveyed, and the main force of the Fat Man Army stationed on the south bank of the Chushui River immediately mobilized. Those who set up their camps set up their camps, those who loaded grain, grass and ordnance into vehicles, those who carried artillery, and Wang Xu led an army to cross the river first.  Set up a guard on the north bank of Chushui to prevent the Qing cavalry from raiding the ferry.  While busy in an orderly manner, Line Fu, who was in charge of artillery, suddenly came to Fatty Lu, saluted and said: "General, the ground is muddy, and our army's heavy artillery cannot be carried."

    "How is it possible?" Fatty Lu froze, waved his hands and ordered: "Call more helpers, let Han Yuan Ren send 500 people to carry the artillery."

    "Back to the general, the last general has already borrowed 800 people from General Han Er, but the artillery says it can't be moved, but it can't be moved." Line Fu replied with a sad face.

    Fatty Lu was amazed when he heard the words, and hurriedly led Yao Qisheng, Zhu Fangdan and others to the artillery team behind to check the situation. Sure enough, at least 20 soldiers from the Fatty Army were pushing and pulling each of the Hongyi cannons, but these soldiers were shouting.  His voice was hoarse, and the Hongyi cannon, which weighed several thousand catties, was still crawling slowly like a snail. It hadn't gone ten feet away for a long time, but it exhausted the infantry of the fat army.  Fatty Lu knew something was wrong. When he jumped off his horse and wanted to go over to check, he found that his fat feet had just stepped on the ground, and the sticky soil had already flooded his insteps. It turned out that this area was basically farmland.  The soil in it is as sticky as paste.

    "Oops, I'm just as lucky as Napoleon." Fatty Lu cried bitterly, knowing that he would have encountered the same unlucky situation that Napoleon encountered in Waterloo that year. The heavy rain softened the soil and heavy artillery could not  Move, the proud shelling tactics can not be displayed.

    "General, don't let the soldiers waste their strength." Yao Qisheng suggested: "No matter how many people are on the ground, they can't move the heavy artillery. We can only wait for the sun to dry the ground. Otherwise, our Hongyi cannons will not be able to pass.  The range of the mother-and-child artillery is too short, and the Mangou camp on the top of Liutang Mountain cannot be shot at the foot of the mountain, and the infantry alone will attack with their backs, and I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties."

    "Then don't rush to cross the river, wait for the sun to bask the ground for a day." Fatty Lu ordered helplessly.

    Fatty Lu, Yao Qisheng and others have gone to Liutang Mountain to survey the terrain before, and found that Jie Shu had set up the Qing army camp on the top of Liutang Mountain with great cunning, overlooking the battlefield from a high position. There are many trees on the mountain and many streams below the mountain.  The pond is extremely unfavorable to the deployment of the Fatty Army's troops. At the same time, because of the reduced range of the Fatty Army's upward firing, the Fatty Army's light artillery can not hit the Qing Army's camp at the foot of the mountain. Only the Hongyi Cannon with a maximum range of ten miles can do it.  .  Now that the Hongyi cannons were unable to participate in the battle, it was a loss-making business to use infantry to attack the heavily guarded Qing army camp. Fatty Lu, who had always been careful about budgeting, naturally refused to do anything.

    At the same time, in the camp of Liutang Mountain, it was discovered that after the Fatty Army pulled out the camp, the Qing Army had already started to pull out the camp. Don¡¯t look at Jie Shu who hates Fatty Lu so much, but Jie Shu is also an instant kill in history.  With Geng Jingzhong's North Army, the real military ability is far higher than Mazi's cousin.  So after experiencing the power of the Fatty Army's artillery formation, Jie Shu immediately understood that the Liutangshan Camp was completely vulnerable to the Fatty Army's artillery formation.  , save the strength and go to Chuzhou Prefecture to compete with the Fatty Army. This can not only achieve the task of holding down the Fatty Army's direct corps as Yue Le explained, but also increase the odds of winning and reduce a lot of losses.

    To the great surprise of Jie Shu, Wang Zhiding and others, Tan Ma suddenly came to report again, saying that the main force of the Fatty Army had stopped crossing the river and chose to rest and wait in place.  Hearing this news, Jie Shu couldn't help being a little puzzled, and wondered what Wu Gou was up to. They defeated our army in Chushui yesterday, and their morale was high.  How could he make such a big mistake when he was more slippery than a loach on the battlefield?  Is this dog thief up to some tricks again?

    "I understand!" Wang Zhiding suddenly came to his senses, and shouted with a fist: "It must be because of the weather! Today?Rebel Sha Zhangbai, he went to Yangzhou to ask Gao Dejie for help on behalf of you, but was rejected by Gao Dejie, and when he returned to Gaoyou City to report to you, he was captured by our soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty!  Now, let him tell you, Gao Dejie, the dog thief, did he send you a reinforcement?  !  "

    After finishing speaking, Tuhai raised his good right leg, kicked Sha Zhangbai on the back, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Sha, it's up to you. After you persuade Gaoyou City to surrender, you will be the magistrate of Yangzhou. Thank you!"  Yin Wanliang, the beauties in Gaoyou City, you can choose as you like. If you dare to play tricks, hum."

    "Master Tu, please don't worry." Sha Zhangbai smiled slightly, raised his head, and shouted at the city wall: "Gaoyou's Great Zhou soldiers, Gaoyou's people, you are all optimistic, I am General Tian Dazhuang sent to Gaoyou  Sha Zhangbai, the general who won the victory, asked for help, Sha Zhangbai, the Tong Zhi of Yangzhou of the Great Zhou!"

    Under the hopeful and apprehensive gaze of the Qing army and Gaoyou soldiers and civilians, Sha Zhangbai, who was so weak that even a gust of wind could blow him down, suddenly raised his voice and shouted the strongest voice in his life, "Don't listen to the nonsense of dogs!  The reinforcements of General Gao Dejie are already on the way and will arrive soon! Hold on! Hold on!"

    "Reinforcements are coming!" Shocking cheers rang out from Gaoyou City, Tian Dazhuang suddenly opened his quietly closed eyes, and looked at Sha Zhangbai below in great surprise, just as Sha Zhangbai also raised his head to see Tian Dazhuang,  After a bright smile, Sha Zhangbai shouted again, "Soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Han people in Gaoyou, persevere! Persevere! Reinforcements are coming!"

    "Savage dog!" Tu Hai was so angry that he almost went crazy, he picked up the whip and whipped Sha Zhangbai's head and face. Sha Zhangbai didn't dodge or dodge, but kept shouting, "Soldiers! Han people! Persevere! Fight against the Qing Dynasty!"  Restoring Ming! Anti-Qing and restoring Ming¡ª¡ª!"

    "Chop off his hands and feet!" Tu Hai yelled crazily, and the soldiers of the Qing army next to him rushed up like wolves, grabbed Sha Zhangbai's hands and feet, and slashed at them with a knife, blood spattered all over the place.  , Sha Zhangbai laughed loudly and kept shouting, "Fight the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty! Reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty! Reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"

    "Anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty! Anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty! Anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty!" Rhythmic shouts also sounded in Gaoyou City, which made hundreds of thousands of Qing troops cry out in despair.  Immediately afterwards, random arrows were fired on the city wall, and they fell on the heads of Tuhai's team overwhelmingly. While the soldiers wrapped Tuhai in their frantic escape, Sha Zhangbai, whose hands and feet had been cut off, was still dying in a pool of blood.  shouted, "Fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, against the Qing Dynasty"

    "Revenge for Master Sha! Revenge for Master Sha!" Amidst the sound of angry slogans and the sound of thunderous charge drums, the gate of Gaoyou City, which had been closed for a long time, suddenly opened, and there were only one hundred and ten fat cavalry in Gaoyou City  Charged out, holding the Dazhou flag high, without hesitation, rushed to the Qing army in the distance, rushed to the enemy team that was a thousand times larger than himself, slashed and slashed with a saber with red eyes, and slashed and killed the traitors and full-fledged dogs who were caught off guard.  And the treacherous infantry and cavalry soldiers, until they were completely submerged by the tide-like Qing army

    "A big road leads to my house. My family lives at the foot of Liang Mountain. There are five acres of fertile land at the foot of the mountain. Five acres of fertile land. Who will remember my appearance? Who will remember the injuries I have suffered?  ?"

    I don't know who took the lead in singing the military song of the Fatty Army, and more and more soldiers of the Fatty Army sang along, as did the common people in Gaoyou City.  The same Qing army galloped and charged, bravely killed the enemy, and sang in unison with tears in their eyes, "a big river runs through my house, there are wives and children, tiles, tiles, big chickens, fat geese, fat cows  Cattle and sheep are strong, grow beans and rice, rapeseed"

    "I cut off my eyes with a long sword, and I can't stop my homesickness! A big road leads to my house. My family lives at the foot of Liang Mountain. There are five acres of fertile land at the foot of the mountain, five acres of fertile land.  Rapeseed flowers"

    Over and over again, singing again and again, and when the whole city of Gaoyou echoed the neat and loud singing, more than a hundred fat army cavalry had been completely swallowed up by the Qing army.  The common people have completely lost sight of the warriors, only the fat army flag with black characters on a white background is still standing in the ocean-like Qing army, floating in the wind in the drizzle

    "God damn Wugou¡ª!" Hearing the neat and clear singing, and seeing the Dazhou flag that has always stood upright, Yue Le roared wildly and drew his knife to chop the handsome case in front of him into pieces.  Then he threw down the saber and sat back in the handsome chair, covered his face with his hands, and lamented in despair, "If the Han people in the world are like this, all of us will die without a burial place!"

 Chapter 341

    ?

    After several fierce battles on the Northwest Front and True North Front of the Jiangnan Great Battlefield, when they were deadlocked due to various reasons, the partial battlefield on the southern front of the Jiangnan Great Battlefield ushered in the most chaotic and complicated melee situation in history.  For their own interests and in order to support and support friendly forces, the military launched a tug-of-war with Hangzhou as the focus of competition, and staged scenes of bloody, funny, warm, or despicable battlefield dramas.

    The first to provoke the conflict was of course the Qing army in Zhejiang¡ªto be precise, the Qing army in Shaoxing and Ningbo. Since Geng Jingzhong¡¯s army and the fat man¡¯s army did not fight as fiercely as the Qing army imagined after they bordered, even after the public tantrums between Geng Jingzhong and Lu  The fat man worked hard together to maintain restraint, and there was no direct confrontation with swords.  As a last resort, Tian Fengji, the former governor of Zhejiang who was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang by the fire line, had to lead an army of 35,000 to the west to attack Hangzhou City guarded by General Liu Guoxuan of Taiwan Youwuwei.  The popular mite Qing Beizi and Ninghai general Fu Lata stationed in Yuyao, commanding the remaining troops in Ningbo and Shaoxing as backup to prevent Zheng Jing from encroaching on Hangzhou and Geng Jingzhong from taking advantage of the fire to loot.

    Tian Fengji just moved here, and Geng Jingzhong, who had learned the news beforehand, also responded immediately, ordering Zeng Yangxing who was stationed in Tonglu, Yanzhou, to send 25,000 troops¡ªof course, most of them were newly recruited mobs, under the pretext of Zheng Jing's subordinate Feng Xifan  Attacking Tingzhou was unrighteous first, and went north to attack Xincheng and Fuyang counties in the south of Hangzhou. Geng Jingzhong himself continued to sit in Yiwu to watch the changes, and was ready to beat the dog in the water at any time.  Those who rob money, grain and territory.

    ?Limited to the mission of restraining the fat man's Suzhou Legion, Tian Fengji knew that Geng Jingzhong had no good intentions and had no choice but to bite the bullet first. When Liao Rongbing, the vanguard of the Qing army, approached Xiaoshan City, the gateway of Hangzhou, Tian Fengji gave the siege order without hesitation.  I never thought that He You, the guard of Xiaoshan of Zheng Jingjun, deceived the Qing army's forward soldiers, and relied on new firearms, to personally lead 2,000 troops out of the city to fight against the Qing army's forwards in the eastern suburbs of Xiaoshan.

    In the field battle, Bao Hu, the hardcore traitor under Liao Rong's command, was extremely brave. He led two hundred cavalry to detour around the front of Zheng Jing's army's rocket formation, and stormed the right wing of Zheng Jing's army.  The whole army was terrified, Liao Rong took the opportunity to attack fiercely, He You was at a loss and could only bombard with rockets, but Bao Hu broke through Zheng Jun's blockade and charged into Zheng Jun's rocket team to kill and set fire.  .  Helplessly, Bao Hu became more and more courageous in the battle, and rushed to Xiaoshan City first among the rebellious army, beheaded Jiang Ji, the general of the Zheng army who stayed in the county where He You stayed, and seized the Xiaoshan city gate that was opened to welcome He You's defeat, forcing He You to abandon the city.  He fled and led the defeated army to Hangzhou.

    After the battle, the hardcore traitor Bao Hu became famous, and Zheng Jing's army was very courageous. Hearing Bao Hu's name, he was three points before fighting.  This time, he finally caught a rookie who was more fleshy than himself and could be abused. Tian Fengji, governor of Mite Qing Zhejiang, was also overjoyed.  After Geng Jun heard the news, he was also determined. He took all of his efforts to capture Xincheng County, where Zheng Jun's soldiers were few, and approached Fuyang City.

    It is a pity that the envoy sent by Liu Guoxuan to Huzhou not only did not ask for reinforcements, but also scolded Liu Guoxuan.  When the army goes out to fight in the city, they must deploy heavy troops and elite soldiers on the two wings to cover them, or use the terrain to cover the two wings. It is fine for Zheng Jingjun led by He You to fight the Qing army in an open area, but he even deployed elite soldiers in the central army.  What is the outflanking and slapping of the Qing army?  The cavalry of the Qing army, who had already had enough of the three good rockets, would be stupid enough to attack the front of the rocket formation?

    After swearing and pointing out how the gang of water rats in Taiwan hacked and how to use the Sanhao rocket correctly, Guo Yingfu told Liu Guoxuan that the fat army is currently fighting fiercely on the northern and western fronts, and the southern army really dare not act rashly.  When Liu Guoxuan sent reinforcements, he just suggested that Liu Guoxuan stick to Hangzhou and use the strong city of Hangzhou to offset the power of the Qing cavalry. When the Qing army ran out of food and grass or the fat army defeated other incoming enemies, Tian Fengji's team would naturally retreat.  At the same time, Guo Yingfu emphasized that the fat army would never sit back and watch the Qing army capture Hangzhou. At critical moments, the fat army would naturally lend a helping hand to Liu Guoxuan.

    Liu Guoxuan's depression can be imagined, but considering Fatty Jun's benevolence first and Guo Yingfu's advice is very reasonable, Liu Guoxuan finally didn't turn his back on Fatty Jun, and he didn't have the face to turn it over.  Face.  However, Liu Guoxuan did not dare to adopt Guo Yingfu's suggestion of sticking to Hangzhou Jiancheng. This is not because Liu Guoxuan thinks that Guo Yingfu is talking nonsense.Du Tongzhu, who had defeated Xia Guoxiang in Chizhou, was more courageous. He pressed the hand of the prince of Zhangtai County who was flipping through the book, and begged: "My lord, this opportunity is not to be missed. We will never come here again. We took a detour here to ambush.  The friendly army has made countless efforts and sacrifices in order to cooperate with us in the surprise attack on Taiping City, if we miss this opportunity, we will not be able to explain to our friendly brothers."

    "What's the rush? You can't fight recklessly, you have to use your brain, do you understand?" The prince of Zhangtai County reprimanded the generals in a dignified manner, then pushed Zhu Man's hand away, and turned back to the ninetieth chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".  Take a closer look at it nine times.

    "My lord, I know that we need to use our brains to fight, but if we don't send troops, it may be too late." Zhuman begged again: "My lord, please, order to send troops, brothers believe that you will bring us to fight again."  Defeating Wu Gou, as long as you give an order, all of our five thousand soldiers will fight to the death for you!"

    "It's okay to send troops, but my lord doesn't plan to fight Taiping City." The lord of Zhangtai County replied.

    "Don't go to Taiping City as planned? Then go there?" Zhuman and other generals asked in surprise.

    "Fight Nanjing! Go directly to Lu Yifeng's lair!" The prince of Zhangtai County said surprisingly.

    "My lord, are you crazy?" All the generals of the Qing army present screamed, "Nanjing is the most important town in the south of the Yangtze River in Wugou.  ?¡±

    "Nonsense!" The prince of Zhangtai County held up "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", pointed to one of the pages and said, "Have you seen that? Zhuge Liang arranged an ambush and surrounded Zhang Jaw.  Zhuge Liang's ambush regiments were surrounded, so knowing that Zhuge Liang was superior, he arranged for Jiang Wei to sneak attack Sima Yi's lair, forcing Sima Yi to retreat to save the lair, Zhuge Liang took the opportunity to chase and kill, and won a big victory. Our current situation is very similar to Zhuge Liang,  There is an army biting an army, Wugou's old nest Nanjing City is empty of troops, if we go to attack Nanjing City, Wugou from all directions will definitely retreat, our army will seize the opportunity to chase and kill, and we will definitely win a big victory!"

    General Mite Qing was stunned, saying that he never expected that there are actually people in this world who command wars with "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!  After Zhuman was stunned, he quickly screamed again: "My lord, this matter is not a joke. Nanjing is Wu Gou's old nest. Even if our surprise attack on Nanjing can make Wu Gou retreat from various battlefields, we will be enslaved by Wu Gou."  Dumplings!"

    "But what if we take down Nanjing?" The prince of Zhangtai County said with confidence in his eyes, "Don't forget, we brought two thousand catties of three good explosives this time, and it's easy to blow open the gate of Nanjing.  You can definitely kill Wu Gou by surprise! When we capture Nanjing and then defend against the city, Wu Gou will have nothing to do with us."

    "My lord¡ª!" Zhuman screamed again.

    "The king's will has been decided, and if there are any opponents, the military law will be dealt with!" The prince of Zhangtai County slammed the table and said solemnly: "By the king's order, the whole army will set off immediately, and take the east of Xuedian Town (about 20 miles south of Ma'anshan)  ), bypass Taiping City under the cover of rainy night, and go straight to Wugou¡¯s lair¡ªNanjing!"

 Chapter 342

    ?

    At half past three in the morning on March 18th, the damn heavy rain finally stopped. Brother Sun, who had been bullied by Sister Wuyun for a long time, finally got out of the clouds, showing a warm and bright smile, and as time went by, the gray-black rain  The clouds were gradually blown away by the mountain wind, revealing the blue sky and white clouds that had not been seen for a long time, which also showed that this afternoon must be a rare good weather.

    "Oops, why did the rain stop so quickly?" Seeing the weather like this, the Qing army in Luzhou, which temporarily blocked the Fatty Army's attack thanks to the help of the weather, all complained, and the coach Jie Shu complained even more, knowing that it was so sunny  As long as the weather is sunny for a day or two, the heavy artillery of the Fat Man Army can get rid of the muddy ground, reach the foot of Liutang Mountain, and blast the Qing army's easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack camp into ruins.

    "Order all the armies to be ready to move at any time, give priority to the transfer of food, grass and gunpowder, and give up the rest of the luggage." In desperation, Jie Shu had to make the worst preparations, and grabbed his right-hand assistant Wang Zhiding,  He told him: "From now on, you will be in charge of our army's scouts. You must closely monitor every move of Wugou's main force. Once you find Wugou's heavy artillery crossing the river, report to me immediately."

    "Cover." Wang Zhiding respectfully agreed, and when he was about to go down to make arrangements, a Qing army scout hurried up from the foot of the mountain, and rushed into the Qing army camp almost rolling and crawling.  Seeing his anxious appearance, Jie Shu, Wang Zhiding, and Jue Luo Bal couldn't help but their hearts jumped, and they all had a bad premonition.

    "My lord, my lord, something's wrong! Something's wrong!" Sure enough, the scout stumbled to the front and back of Jie Shu, and before he had time to salute, he paled and screamed: "My lord, we must go through the road on the way back to Chuzhou.  Somehow, a Wugou army appeared on the top of Ludong Mountain! It has seized the highland of Dongshan, condescendingly strangled the Chuzhou official road, and is already cutting down trees and pushing stones to block the official road!"

    "Wu Dog's army seized Dongshantou?" Jie Shu jumped up, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in disbelief: "How is it possible? Wugou flew over? To go to Dongshantou, you must pass by my willow."  The road below Tangshan Daying, didn¡¯t you set up scouts on the official road last night?¡±

    "Return to the lord, the scouts are in charge of the servants, and the servants have arranged them." Wang Zhiding replied with an incredulous face: "The servants not only arranged the scouts, but also sent out secret sentries. The fear is that Wu Dog will sneak into our army's back and cut off our army's retreat.  Last night, the servant braved the heavy rain to patrol twice, and found nothing unusual."

    "Then how did Wu Gou infiltrate behind us?" Jie Shu slapped the table and roared, "Do you know that when we withdrew our troops back to Chuzhou, there was only one official road to go, if this official road was cut off by Wu Gou  Now, we are the turtles in the urn!"

    "Could it be that Wu Gou detoured to the top of Dongshan by a small path?" Military Counselor Ji Ertabu interjected, "But it rained so heavily last night that you couldn't see your fingers. It is impossible for Wu Gou's army to go around the top of Dongshan by a small path.  ?¡±

    "It's possible!" Wang Zhiding finally came to his senses, and screamed, "We all forgot one important thing. Wugou's elite soldiers are all Yunnan-Guizhou soldiers and Guangxi soldiers, and they are best at walking the mountain path! Especially the Wugou in Wugou's team.  Soldiers, crossing mountains and walking trails is the same as flying! It must be Lu Yifeng's dog thief who specially selected such mountain soldiers, organized them to take cover on rainy nights, walked behind us by trails, and cut off our way back!  "

    "Fucking Lu Yifeng's bastard!" Jie Shu yelled, slapped the table and shouted, "Hurry up and go down the mountain, before the main force of the Wu dog can catch up, quickly take back the highland at the top of Dongshan and open the official road, otherwise  , we're all done!"

    Jie Shu's order was given a little late-but then again, it was too late to give it early.  Almost at the same time that the Qing army discovered that the mountain special forces of the fat army had descended from the sky, Wang Xu, the general of the fat army, had already led 10,000 infantry across the river and rushed towards Liutang Mountain first. After receiving the news, Jie  Qing army generals such as Shu and Wang Zhiding inevitably paled, knowing that their own army had fallen into a dilemma. At this time, they pulled out their camps and retreated. There were obstacles before them and pursuers after them.  But if you don't withdraw your troops, you can still smash the Qing army's camp to pieces when the fat army's heavy artillery is transported across the river!

    Ten thousand steps back, even if the fat army didn't have to bombard the battalion heavily, the Qing army whose food road was cut off would starve to death!  Facing a dilemma, Jie Shu was quite military-minded, and Wang Zhiding and Ji Ertab were also resourceful. They also felt helpless for a while and didn't know how to deal with it.

    "My lord, we have only two options." After repeated calculations, Ji Ertab suggested to Jieshu: "One is to immediately go down the mountain to break through, send an elite army to the rear, break through Wu Dog's block at any cost, and return to Chuzhou. Two  It is to abandon the supply of food and grass, and retreat to Chuzhou by small roads, bypassing Wu Dog's interception."

    "Both roads cost casualties.Therefore, even though there were very few fat soldiers on the city wall, the prince of Zhangtai County had to break through the first urn city, but he had to break through three gates before he could really enter Nanjing City!  Fortunately, the soldiers of the Fat Man Army had already closed the last three city gates in time, forcing the prince of Zhangtai County to blow up one city gate after another. With such a little precious time, he was completely caught off guard.  The soldiers of the Fat Man Army finally made the correct adjustments. While quickly summoning the troops in the city to go to the city for rescue, they frantically launched a counterattack, frantically throwing grenades to blow up the Qing cavalry in the Urn City.

    "Boom!" There was another loud noise, the second city gate was blown to pieces by the Qing army, and the Qing army rushed into the second urn city. Qin Yong, who came to his senses, quickly ordered to block the passageway of the urn city with sacks of boulders, but in a hurry  And how can you find so many sacks of boulders?  While he was at a loss what to do, a fat soldier had an idea, and quickly pointed to the truck in the second urn and shouted: "General, push the truck into the corridor of the city gate, light it on fire, and it will block the dogs!"

    "Yes! Yes!" Qin Yong finally came to his senses, and hurriedly sent soldiers to push the trucks abandoned by the people, pushed them into the city gate corridors, blocked them, and then set them on fire.  But at this time, the gate of the third Urn City was also blown open by the Qing army. The Qing army cavalry shot arrows one after another when they saw the Fatty Army pushing trucks blocking the road. The soldiers of the Fatty Army in the Urn City suffered heavy casualties.  It was broken through by the cavalry of the Qing army, and the third city gate was also broken through, and the Qing army rushed into the third urn city.

    "If the last city gate can't be defended, Nanjing will be finished!" Seeing this scene, Qin Yong was so nervous that he could hardly breathe, and closed his eyes almost in despair.

    "Hurry up, there is only the last city gate left!" The prince of Zhangtai County, who had been to Nanjing, swung his knife and shouted fiercely, "Quick! Blast this last city gate, and all the beautiful women in Nanjing will be ours!  Ah, what are you still doing?"

    "My lord, we are out of explosives." Zhu Man next to him stammered.

    "What? No more explosives?" The prince of Zhangtai County almost couldn't believe his ears, and shouted: "The two thousand catties of explosives we brought are all used up?"

    "It's all used up." Zhu Man said with a sad face: "Brothers didn't expect that there would be so many gates in Nanjing City. When the three gates were bombed just now, they were all used up."

    "Bastard!" The prince of Zhangtai County was also impatient, and slapped Zhuman's face hard, and shouted with red eyes: "Didn't this prince tell you that every gate of Nanjing City has three urns and four gates?"  Dao City Gate?"

    "My lord, when did you tell the servant?" Zhuman replied with a very aggrieved face covering his face.

    "Really?" The prince of Zhangtai County looked blank. When he recalled carefully, he realized that he had never told his confidant Zhuman who mastered explosives that there were three urns and four gates in Nanjing City.  But our prince of Zhangtai County came back to his senses very quickly, raised the whip and lashed at Zhuman, cursing at the same time, "You dog slave! Even if this prince didn't tell you, you should save it! You should  Just ask my lord! You used up two thousand catties of explosives in no time! How do we fight next? How do we fight?"

    "My lord, I have never been to Nanjing, and I never knew that there are so many city gates in Nanjing!" Zhuman replied aggrievedly: "I have been working in a small place before, and I have never seen any city gate with three urns.  , I thought that Nanjing City, like Anqing City, has only one urn and two gates! And the slaves are already very economical, if the slaves hadn¡¯t saved a little, we wouldn¡¯t even be able to blow up the third gate!¡±

    "Dog slave, are you still stubborn?" The prince of Zhangtai County was almost mad, knowing that there was only the last gate left, and as long as the last gate was blown up, the job would be done, but there was no explosives.  Isn't this frustrating to death?

    "My lord, we still have a chance!" In order not to be beaten to death by the lord of Zhangtai County, Zhuman hurriedly shouted: "We still have some gunpowder for muskets and grenades captured from Wugou in our team, collect them all  , should be able to blow up this last city gate!"

    "Then why are you still in a daze? Why don't you hurry up?" the prince of Zhangtai County roared.

    Zhuman nodded and bowed in agreement, and quickly asked the soldiers to take out the black powder and grenades and pile them up at the last city gate.  It was also at this time that Qin Yong finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly shouted: "The explosives full of dogs are used up! Quick, quick! Go to two people and organize the people to block the city gate. Others, blow me up hard!"  Full of dogs! No matter what kind of firearms, they are all open! Throw all the gunpowder packs for cannons!"  Recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation.) (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 343 Enhanced Qing God of War

    ?

    "Shoot! Shoot arrows! Throw grenades! Smash sheep's head stones! Throw kerosene! Throw torches and gunpowder packs! Cannonballs! Throw all the cannonballs down!"

    Amidst the hoarse roar of Qin Yong, Fatty Lu's cousin, hundreds of Fatty Army guards on the tower of Jubao Gate started to fight back in a frantic manner, firing arrows at the Qing soldiers in Urn City with bows and muskets in their hands.  Those who didn't have time to carry their weapons picked up all the materials that could be used on the city wall, whether it was stone tiles or shells and grenades, and smashed them into the urn, but the quantity was sparse and did not cause great casualties to the Qing soldiers.

    Although the defensive preparations of the Fatty Army were obviously insufficient, and the counterattack was very unorganized, but it was difficult for the 5,000 Qing cavalry to evade the blows from above in the narrow urn city, and there were still a lot of casualties.  However, the cavalry of the Qing army were not completely passively beaten. Those carrying bows and arrows drew bows and shot arrows to kill the fat soldiers on the city wall. The muskets they carried were confiscated because of the gunpowder, so they simply built human ladders to climb up, and used human ladders to attack Nanjing.  city ??walls.

    At this stage in the war, the weakness of the Fatty Army's insufficient defenders has been completely exposed. Although they have perfect fortifications and sufficient supplies for defending the city, they suffer from insufficient manpower to perform, and even cannot destroy the Qing army's fragile human ladder attack.  At the same time, he had to take into account the long walls of the three urns, and his manpower was even more limited. Taking care of one thing and losing the other, he actually let more than 20 Qing soldiers climb up the city wall through human ladders. When Qin Yong hurriedly led his soldiers to make up for the omission, they went up  However, the Qing soldiers in the city had quickly moved closer to each other and seized two sections of the city wall.

    At the critical moment, the first batch of about two hundred reinforcements led by General Cao Guoxing of the Fatty Army finally arrived and rushed to the city wall to help defend the city. At the same time, the neighboring Sanshan Gate and Tongji Gate also squeezed out from the pitifully weak defenders.  Gathered some troops, rushed along the city wall to rescue.  Qin Yong heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly organized some men to rush to the Qing soldiers who had climbed the wall. While throwing grenades to prevent the Qing army from continuing to climb the city, they fought desperately with the Qing soldiers who had already climbed the wall.

    "Boom, boom!" Smaller explosions sounded one after another, and the original black powder and grenades collected and used intensively by the Qing army exploded at the last gate of the city.  However, what our prince of Zhangtai County cursed was that the explosive power of the original black powder is too small, and the explosive power is greatly reduced in the open air. Although the explosive power of the grenade with three good explosives inside is great, it is impossible to pull hundreds of grenades at the same time.  Huan Zhuo and the soldiers of the Qing army were not proficient in blasting techniques, so they could only try their best to bundle together and blast the middle bundle of grenades. As a result, the middle bundle of grenades exploded with the black powder, but the shock wave sent  The rest of the grenades flew all over the sky, scattered the explosions, and the impact on the city gate was greatly reduced again, not to mention, they also killed and injured many Qing soldiers in the urn city.

    Finally, when the gunpowder smoke cleared, the prince of Zhangtai County started to curse again. It turned out that after all the gunpowder and grenades were wasted, the Qing army¡¯s explosion this time only blew up some cracks and a big hole in the last city gate.  , but the whole is basically safe and sound, still blocking the progress of the Qing army.

    "Axeman, come on! Cleave the city gate!" Zhu Man was afraid of being whipped by the prince of Zhangtai County again, so he quickly ordered the axeman in the team to step forward and slash the city gate with an axe. It turned out that this  The trick was indeed quite effective. The gate of Nanjing, which was blasted by grenades and black powder, was constantly shattered in front of the Qing army's big axe, and the gate opening gradually expanded.  Seeing this scene, the prince of Zhangtai County finally didn't get angry on the spot, but kept yelling in the safe passage of the city gate, "Quick! Quick! Make sure to open the gate before Wugou's reinforcements arrive!"

    Ever since, a strange battle unfolded that was hard to see even in the era of cold weapons. The few fat soldiers on the city wall desperately smashed everything that could hurt people, whether it was bricks, tiles or grain bag braziers  , Throwing something into the urn, under the city wall, the soldiers of the Qing army swung their axes and slashed at the thick city gate.  Before they tried their best to climb the city, the shouts of killing resounded like thunder. Although the scale of the battle was small, the degree of intensity and tension was far better than any battle of the same scale.

    Here I have to thank Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Shen Wansan again (the reason for the name of Jubao Gate is that Shen Wansan buried his cornucopia in the foundation when he built the gate).  Modern firearms are also difficult to destroy, and they are more than 20 meters high. Therefore, no matter how few guards of the Fat Man Army, it is very difficult for the soldiers of the Qing Army to climb the city. The number of soldiers who can climb the city wall is always limited.  Both reinforcements and counterattacks bought precious time.

    When the last city gate was cut into a hole the size of a washbasin by the Qing army's knives and axes, Xie Dong, who was already wearing a pair of trousers with Fatty Lu, led more than 500 people from the yamen servants and family members, rushed up the city wall and threw themselves into the battlefield;  ?Immediately, everyone was scared out of their wits, and hurriedly reined in their horses, turned around and shouted: "Brothers, run quickly! It is the Qing Dynasty God of War, Prince Zhang Taizhang! Run quickly, or we will die!"

    "It's Lord Zhang! It's Lord Zhang! Run!"

    "It's the Great Qing God of War, Prince Chang! Brothers, run! We're doomed¡ª!"

    "Help! It's Prince Zhang¡ª¡ª!"

    Amidst the hoarse screams, the fat cavalrymen who came to kill them turned their horses one after another, and fled to the south where there was no one else.  , leaving the cavalry of the Qing army who were already preparing to flee for their lives stunned, so surprised that they could hardly believe their eyes, let alone their ears¡ªwhen did our Prince Zhang become so famous?  ?

    "Haha, Wu Gou is frightened by this king's prestige!" The prince of Zhangtai County suddenly realized, and laughed triumphantly: "This king just said, when he sees this king's banner, does Wu Dog have any reason not to run away?  Team Wugou is smart, if he really dares to offend this king, Hu Wei, this king will definitely kill them all!"

    "We are not dreaming, are we?" Zhu Man and other Qing army generals and soldiers looked at each other, saying nothing, never thought that we, Prince Zhang Taizhang, who fought with "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" all day long, would have such a prominent reputation, and even reach the  To the point where the Fatty Army was frightened!

    What shocked the soldiers of the Qing army was still behind. When the prince of Zhangtai County returned to Tongling with a large amount of luggage and passed through Taipingfu City, the fat army in Taiping City did not dare to go out of the city to intercept it.  Prince Zhang, the war god of the Qing Dynasty, came and closed the city gate tightly, not daring to fire a single shot, and let the prince of Zhangtai County lead the army to pass under Taiping City swaggeringly.

    When we arrived near Wuhu, Han Daren, who had already beaten Le Erjin all over the floor in Fanchang, sent troops to intercept him, but it was probably because Han Daren's army had suffered a lot of losses before.  He was defeated in World War I and was forced to flee back to Wuhu County and stand behind closed doors.  Moreover, a supply team of Han Daren was inadvertently blocked by the team of the prince of Zhangtai County. The fat soldiers screamed that the prince of Zhang was coming and escaped cleanly.  Zhang Wangye's hand.  At this point, Han Daren still didn't dare to send troops to rescue the grain and grass, and could only watch helplessly as our Prince Zhang drove away with the grain cart and returned to Ningguo Mansion, which was controlled by the Qing army.

    After the battle, the name of the Lord of Zhangtai County as the God of War in the Qing Dynasty resounded throughout the world again, frightening the courage of the rebels from all walks of life, and letting Yue Le, Tu Hai, Jie Shu, Le Erjin, Dong Weiguo, Shang Shan, and Lai Ta fight against each other.  Waiting for the face of the so-called famous generals of the Qing Dynasty to be disgraced, they lamented together, "The sky has no eyes!"

    "My Zhao Zilong! My pillar of the Qing Dynasty!" Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty commented on Prince Zhang so excitedly!  (To be continued.

 Chapter 344 The Dying Traitor

    ?

    ? On the same night that Nanjing was in distress, that is, the night of March 18th in the second year of the second year and the 14th year of Kang Mazi, in Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi Province.

    After more than half a year of the city's offensive and defensive battles, the majestic Xi'an city in the past has become somewhat dilapidated, and the ninety-eight city towers that are proud of the world have disappeared.  The piles of ruins and the reconstruction sites full of bricks, stones, beams and woods silently tell the cruelty and intensity of the previous Xi'an war, and also reveal a kind of sadness that makes people feel lonely and melancholy.

    The situation on the streets in the city is not much better. The houses in the streets of the outer city were first destroyed by artillery fire, and then looted by the rebels in the street fighting. Most of the houses and shops have been turned into ruins.  Build a shack on it for temporary shelter.  However, the situation in the inner city of Xi'an, which is exclusively for mites to live in, is better. After Wu Gou broke through the outer city of Xi'an, the general of Xi'an, Valka, did not occupy the city and wait for help. Instead, he chose to lead his army to flee to Tongguan.  The Wu army drove straight into the city, and together with the fierce Shaanxi people, they slaughtered all the people in the city and kept most of the houses and streets.  So after Wu Jun entered the city, the old traitor Wu naturally arranged a temporary residence in this mite city, and lived in the luxurious Xi'an General's Mansion left by Varka.

    Nearly two o'clock, a fast horse arrived in front of the Xingyuan gate where the old traitor Wu was, and sent a military report from Yuezhou into the Xingyuan, and sent it to the sick bed of the old traitor Wu, who was seriously ill. After reading the letter  In spite of the late night and his serious illness, the traitor Wu ordered to summon five confidant civilian officials including Wang Shirong, Fang Xueshi, Qiu Kesun, Che Wenlong and Yang Shanzi, and asked them to meet in his ward overnight.

    After Lu Xia arranged for the guards to convey the orders of Old Traitor Wu separately, Wang Shirong and the other five entered into the bedroom of Old Traitor Wu, and knelt down on one knee to salute.  Just halfway through the lifting, there was a numbness and stiffness in the arms and shoulders, and he fell back on the bed weakly. The old man Wu had no choice but to pant and said with difficulty: "Get up, Hu Guozhu just sent someone to send a letter, you all have a look  , I will comment after reading it. Lu Xia, hand over the letter to Mr. Liangchen."

    Wang Shirong and the others thanked him and got up, and Lu Xia over there also picked up the letter that the old traitor Wu put on the bedside, and handed it to Wang Shirong.  The various situations in the Jiangnan battlefield recently, one is that Fatty Lu turned against Geng Jingzhong because of a woman; the other is that Wu Yingqi believed that Xia Guoxiang favored Geng Jingzhong and joined forces with outsiders to bully Lu Fatty, so he refused to provide food and grass for Xia Guoxiang to enter the army; the third was that Xia Guoxiang was defeated in Chizhou,  Lost troops and lost two airships and countless ammunition. After returning to Wuchang, he had a falling out with Wu Yingqi; fourth, Wu Yingqi once again asked to be the coach of the Eastern Expedition, but Hu Guozhu was worried that Wu Yingqi would not be Lu Fatty¡¯s opponent, so he needed to ask Mr. Wu for instructions.  The traitor temporarily held Wu Yingqi down.

    At the end of the letter, Hu Guozhu once again expressed his worries about Fatty Lu's growing up in Jiangnan, and suggested that the old traitor Wu should take countermeasures as soon as possible, and put Fatty Lu back in the cage and lock him up, or secretly order Fatty Jiangnan  The old man Wu Jun in the army took action, confiscated the military power of Lu Fatty, and escorted him back to the rear to control and imprison him, so as to prevent Fatty Lu from getting too big.

    "How is it? What do you think of Guozhu's letter?" Old Han Wu estimated that everyone had read it, then asked hoarsely: "Do you think that Yifeng is really dangerous enough to get rid of it?"

    Wang Shirong and the others were silent. After a while, Fang Xueshi said cautiously: "My lord, I still insist that Lu Yifeng should still be loyal to the lord, and we shouldn't do such things that make loved ones hurt and enemies happy. Otherwise, with  With Lu Yifeng's current military strength and financial resources, he has long raised the flag to be independent."

    "You, you are too honest." The old traitor Wu was not angry, he just hummed and said out of breath: "The reason why that little slicker Lu Yifeng hasn't raised the flag yet and openly betrayed the king is not because he doesn't want to,  It was because he knew that when he raised the flag to rebel at this time, the core backbone of his army would not go with him, so he didn't do anything. He is just waiting now, waiting for the man to kill the king, and then there will be no second in the world  Two people can restrain him."

    "My lord thinks too highly of Lu Yifeng." Cao Wenlong, the official of the Wu army, nodded and said, "My lord, please don't forget that the wives and children of Lu Yifeng, Gao Dejie, Han Daren, and Wang Xu are still here."  Guo Zhuangtu, the lord's left-behind general in Yunnan, would not dare to disrespect the lord even if he lent them a hundred courage."

    "If you don't have a wife, you can remarry, and if you don't have a son, you can regenerate." The old man Wu said indifferently: "There have been many beauties in Jiangnan since ancient times. Those little bastards have guns, food and money in their hands. Are you afraid that there will be no three wives and four concubines?  Having three wives and four concubines, are you afraid of not having a son? This old man can be sure.heal.  "

    "My lord, why don't we draft an order for you to ask Lu Yifeng to send Zhu Fangdan?" Fang Xueshi suggested, "Anyway, Lu Yifeng is your grandson-in-law, and you want him to send Zhu Fangdan to treat your illness."  , even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare not listen."

    "No need, now I want the king to die. It's not Kangxi's son, but this king's grandson-in-law." The old man Wu moaned and said a truth that couldn't be truer, and then moaned: "There is still  At this time, let him send Zhu Fangdan to treat this king, and he will immediately understand that this king is dying of illness, and he has nothing to fear when he is in the south of the Yangtze River."

    "My lord, you have to rest, you can't talk anymore." Lang Zhong protested.

    Old Hanjian Wu waved his hand with difficulty, and after taking a few breaths to gather his spirits, Old Hanjian Wu said weakly: "You all go back to rest, and do your best to prepare for the enthronement ceremony of this king. This king will be enthroned in the city of Xi'an on the first day of April.  Proclaim yourself emperor, change the name to Yuan Zhaowu, change the name of the country to Zhou, set the capital at Wuchang, and appoint the eldest grandson Wu Shifan as the eldest grandson of the emperor, no matter how hasty it is, you must prepare well, don't, lose face of the king."

    "As ordered." Wang Shirong, Fang Xueshi and others replied with tears in their eyes.

    "Wang Shirong, put your ears up." Old traitor Wu ordered again, and Wang Shirong quickly put his ear to Old traitor Wu's mouth, and Fang Xueshi and others over there hurriedly retreated to the distance knowingly, and old traitor Wu was weak  He said in a low voice: "Prepare an order for me, give it to Han Daren, tell him that when the time comes, let him act according to the plan, and when it is done, Da Zhou will make him king."

    "Let Han Daren act according to the plan?" Wang Shirong was taken aback, and when he saw the cunning light in old traitor Wu's cloudy old eyes, Wang Shirong finally came to his senses - when old traitor Wu arranged Han Daren to help Fatty Lu to mix sand, he must have  I have agreed with Han Daren to get rid of Fatty Lu when necessary!  Perhaps Han Daren's getting closer to Fatty Lu over the past year was also arranged by the traitor Wu!

    Thinking of this, Wang Shirong nodded, and then stood up straight, but the old traitor Wu muttered in a low voice, "Why isn't he the king's flesh and blood? Otherwise, why should the king rest assured  No more?" (To be continued.

 Chapter 345: Bad Character

    ?

    The three-line and four-way joint attack, the coordination was perfect, the arrangement was extremely careful, and the tactics varied so much that people were dazzled, but the final result disappointed Yue Le, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army, and Tu Hai, the chief of the general staff.  In the case of doing their best and consuming a lot of precious materials, not only did they fail to achieve the campaign goal of severely injuring the Fatty Army or capturing an important town of the Fatty Army, but they also paid a very painful price.  They were all lost soldiers and suffered heavy casualties. The Zhejiang army on the southern front did not even receive the effect of consuming the fat army's strength and supplies.  Take advantage of it.

    What frightened Yue Le, Tu Hai and other senior generals of the Qing army was that this time they joined forces to encircle and suppress the Fatty Army.  Losing the main force of the two corps and part of the strength of the two corps caused huge losses to the Qing army. If the four major corps of the Fatty Army went all out together, Yue Le, Tu Hai and others could hardly imagine the consequences.  .

    At the same time, what made Yue Le and other senior Qing army generals dumbfounded and extremely depressed was that in this Jiangnan war, the only outstanding performer in the Qing army was actually the two hundred and five recognized by the generals of the Qing army¡ªthe prince of Zhangtai County, avoiding the fat army  Not to mention the vast network, the surprise attack on Nanjing almost succeeded, forcing the Fatty Army's direct army to abandon the military operation that severely damaged Jieshu's army, inadvertently achieved the effect of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, and helped Jieshu's army, which was doomed to fail miserably, escape by luck.

    What's even more outrageous is that after the prince of Zhangtai County's surprise attack on Nanjing almost failed, he even snatched a large amount of food, grass and supplies in the area controlled by the Fatty Army, and broke through the "encirclement and interception" of the Fatty Army in a big way, completely establishing the reputation of the Qing God of War.  In other words, it made Yue Le, Tu Hai and others even more unable to explain to Kang Mazi - the prince of Zhangtai County established the unrivaled merits because he did not implement the tactical plan Yue Le explained, which just proved that Yue Le and others  The tactical plan laid out by people is completely a pile of dog excrement?

    Unknowingly, it was the 23rd day of March, the 2nd year of the Chinese New Year and the 14th year of Kang Mazi's fourteenth year. It was also the last day for Kang Mazi to give Yue Le the last chance. Seeing that the deadline was approaching,  Yue Le and Tu Hai, who were still blocked under Gaoyou City all the time, had no choice but to temporarily agree on a countermeasure, that is, within one day, at all costs, break through Gaoyou City, which is at the end of its strength, and then take  The almost successful victory over Gaoyou and the surprise attack on Nanjing went to Kang Mazi, trying his best to get away with it, and broke Kang Mazi's idea of ??personally conquering.

    With a certain idea, Yue Le immediately summoned all the generals of the Qing army who were commanders and generals, arranged the siege plan with a sullen face, and then told these generals that there was only one day left in the deadline Kang Mazi gave him, so this  If one day I can't capture Gaoyou City again, then I will be taken back to the clan's mansion and imprisoned forever, and if it is serious, my head will fall to the ground - but before I am taken back to the capital or beheaded, I will definitely pull my back  of!

    Seeing Yue Le, who is usually generous and gentle, suddenly become so murderous, the generals of the Qing army also understood the seriousness of the matter.  The leader, the participating leader, and the co-leader threatened the assistant leader, the assistant leader threatened the sentry officer, the sentry officer threatened the captain, and the opposing commander threatened the soldiers; the same is true for the green battalion soldiers.  Participating generals, participating generals threatened Qian Zong and Ba Zong, Qian Zong and Ba Zong threatened the chief whistle officer, and the chief whistle officer, so the threats continued layer by layer.

    In a word, if all these threats are really realized, there may not be a few people left in Yue Le's 120,000 army.

    The soldiers were fed, the horses were fed, the bows and arrows were ready, and the horns sounded. Just as the siege army was about to go out to battle, a group of scouts rushed into the Qing army's camp and rushed to the central army's tent to report  , while screaming in despair, "Wugou's reinforcements are here! Wugou's reinforcements are here! Wugou's reinforcements have entered Gaoyou Lake from the canal. There are hundreds of large ships! There are thousands of small boats!"

    At the same time, earth-shattering cheers erupted from the towering Gaoyou City in the distance, even if it was more than ten miles away, they could be heard clearly here¡ªobviously, this is the sailor of the Fatty Army.  Arrived at the west water gate of Gaoyou City.  Hearing the cheers and knowing the news of the arrival of Fatty's reinforcements, the Qing army was in despair. Gaoyou City was already so difficult to attack that the Qing army lost tens of thousands.  With the navy reinforcements of the Fatty Army, the Qing army will never even think about capturing this terrifying Gaoyou City.

    Reinforcement of Gaoyou This support army is a team sent by Fatty Lu himself. After repelling the three-way invasion of Jieshu, Le Erjin and Zhangtai, the pressure on the western front of the Fatty Army was greatly reduced, and he learned that?Yao Qisheng replied with a smile: "When Mangou rose outside the customs, the Ming court also quarreled over whether to lead the battle or to defend. For this reason, the heads of Yang Gao, Wang Huazhen and Yuan Yingtai, who were the main battlers, fell to the ground one after another, and they did not die at the hands of Mangou.  Li died under the law of the country, and Xiong Tingbi, who was in charge of the defense, was also handed over to the first nine sides. He did not fully manage until he lost Guangning. The Mangou court still has the main force in Jiangnan, and owes a bad debt, and urgently needs Jiangnan's support  With money and food to repay debts, can it be so easy to abandon the south of the Yangtze River and change the strategy of attack?"

    "That makes sense." Fatty Lu nodded, and said in a deep voice, "However, the Mangou court is different from the Ming court. The censors of the Ming court even dare to scold the Emperor of Ming. They can obstruct, oppose, and even refuse to implement all the decisions of the Emperor of Ming.  However, the Mangou court is the Emperor Mangou's words, and even if the Emperor Mangou says something is wrong, the slaves must carry it out, and there is no possibility of objection."

    "That's right, that's right!" Yao Qisheng nodded vigorously, and then said with a smile: "If the general wants to continue the strategy of luring the Emperor Mangou to conquest himself, then the general still has a chance now, and that is to make good use of the servants of the Mangou court.  System. As long as the general can figure out a way to make Emperor Mangou make up his mind to conquest, then no matter who it is, even the old bastard, the Empress Dowager Mangou, will not be able to prevent Emperor Mangou from conscripting himself!"

    "That's right." Fatty Lu clenched his fat fists, gritted his teeth and said, "The life and death of the Mangou court is actually in the mind of Kang Mazi. If he can listen to the opinions of the guards, then the Mangou court will  It will definitely last for quite some time, and there is even a little bit of hope for a comeback. But if Emperor Mangou is determined to take the main battle and decides to continue to retake Jiangnan, then it will be the blessing of our people of all ethnic groups in China!"

    "Mr. Yao, in your opinion, the Emperor Mangou is more likely to adopt that strategy?" Xie Dong asked curiously.

    "I can't tell." Yao Qisheng shook his head and analyzed: "In my opinion, it must be difficult for Emperor Mangou to make such a decision. On the one hand, there is a well-founded and correct strategy of the main guard, and on the other hand, the pressure of money and food from bad debts and  The temptation to recapture the south of the Yangtze River, and which strategy to adopt, the key is that Emperor Mangou himself is inclined to that side. But fortunately, with the arrogance of Emperor Mangou, he wants to strengthen his character, and the defenders in the Mangou court want to persuade him,  It's not that easy."

    Speaking of this, Yao Qisheng turned his attention to Fatty Lu again, and said with a smile: "General, you are also very important. If you can think of a way to make the Emperor Mangou who hates you to the bone decide to fight, we still have  hope."

    Fatty Lu pondered without answering. After a long time, Fatty Lu suddenly turned his gaze to Xie Dong again, and asked with a smile: "Brother Xie, I heard that your newly married concubine Li Xuemei is very beautiful. How about giving it to my brother?"

    "Brother Sanhao, have you taken a fancy to my little brother's concubine?" Xie Dong hesitated, and quickly replied: "Brother Sanhao, if you like it, just take it. Brothers are like siblings, wives are like clothes, just a piece of clothing, Brother Sanhao  You can take it if you like.¡±

    "Brother Xie, you are really honest." Fatty Lu couldn't laugh or cry.

    "Lord Xie is not enough." Yao Qisheng shook his head and reminded: "Don't forget about the general, your resourcefulness has long been known to the world, and suddenly you robbed your subordinates' concubines and forced them to rebel¡ªanyone can guess  It can be concluded that you are playing tricks again, General, not only will you not be able to achieve results, it may even be counterproductive. What's more, Sir Xie and you are life and death friends, and if you suddenly betray you, everyone will suspect that you are using tricks again, General."

    "Yes, Master, have you forgotten about Han Daren?" Wang Shaobo also echoed: "Before, Master, you let Han Daren feign surrender in Jiujiang, and Mangou has suffered enough losses. Mangou will fall into your trick again.  ?¡±

    "I really forgot, I'm not a good character, no man can trust me now." Fatty Lu lamented.

    "You just know? I'm one of the victims!" Yao Qisheng muttered quietly in his heart, but after the muttering was over, Yao Qisheng suddenly realized that something was wrong¡ªbecause Fatty Lu suddenly turned his gaze to him, and the smile on Fatty's face was still there.  Treacherous.  After the doubts passed, Yao Qisheng suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly asked: "General, you don't want the students to feign surrender, do you?"

    Fatty Lu continued to smile wickedly, but quickly put away his smile, shook his head and said, "No, this is absolutely not possible. I had this plan before, but thinking of your sister Yao Junshi No, I'd better think about it."

    "Thank you, General, for your understanding." Yao Qisheng heaved a sigh of relief¡ª¡ªYao Qisang's younger sister, Yao Qisang, is in Beijing now, and she is still the principal wife of Huang Xiyan, Minister of the Ministry of War.  Lose.

    "It should be, and I also hope that Junshi Yao's younger sister can come back smoothly." Fatty Lu waved his hands, then pondered: "Then what should we do?

 Chapter 347 Killing two birds with one stone

    ?

    (ps: There are only the last 20 hours left in April, ask for the last monthly pass in April, and book the monthly pass in May.)

    Having learned the lesson that Nanjing was almost successfully attacked by the war god Zhang Zhang of the Qing Dynasty, Fatty Lu, who is also somewhat stubborn and paranoid, finally gave up his idea of ????building an army with a small number of elites, and decided to follow the example of cruel exploitation by unscrupulous warlords that have been common in Sikong since ancient times.  The people in the south of the Yangtze River, once again expanded the army, planning to expand the army size to more than 180,000, so as not to repeat the same mistakes last time, because the lack of troops was almost taken over by the enemy.

    In fact, this is also a necessary stage for a traveler. As a traveler with the memory of later generations, Fatty Lu is of course deeply impressed by the importance of a streamlined army and streamlined administration and the various harms of redundant troops. What he pursues is the supremacy of weapons and the supremacy of elite soldiers.  , try to reduce the heavy burden caused by the large-scale army on the people, and reduce military expenditures as reasonably as possible. This is also the fundamental reason why the Fat Army is sitting in the essence of the south of the Yangtze River, but only maintains an army size of less than 100,000.

    Fatty Lu's idea is of course good, and it is what people in the south of the Yangtze River want, but it turns out that good ideas may not necessarily be applicable to reality. Fatty Lu completely forgot one thing, what he knew and pursued  The elite troops, streamlined administration, and a small number of elite systems are based on advanced technologies such as industrial productivity, transportation tools, traffic roads, and communication speeds in the 21st century. However, in this era that Fatty Lu lives in, these prerequisites cannot be solved at all.

    For example, the U.S. military, with a total of only 1.4 million troops, the navy, land and air forces, is able to deploy weapons around the world, relying on advanced satellites, aircraft, warships and aircraft carriers. These advanced means of transportation can be used to deploy troops around the world  In any corner, bombs and gunpowder can also be dropped in any region of the world, and every move of any country on the earth can be monitored at any time. At the same time, American industries can also produce these weapons and transportation.  The required weapons, ammunition, gasoline and food are sent to the front line. Only in this way can the global deployment of the US military be maintained.

    However, in the era that Fatty Lu lived in, the maximum grain yield per mu was no more than three or four hundred catties, and the transportation was all carried by horse-drawn people. There was a bit of waterway transportation in the sky, which was slow and costly on the road;  Large-scale and restricted by waterways and water control, it will take four or five days to transfer troops from Gaoyou City, the northernmost line of the Fat Man Army, to Huzhou City, the southernmost line, even if the horses run to death, and at least ten days for normal marching.  When it comes to the battlefield, the day lily may be cold.  The advanced firearms that the Fat Man Army is most proud of are completely produced by primitive handicraft workshops using the most primitive technology.  ?

    As long as your number of soldiers is insufficient, the enemy can exchange three lives, five lives, or even ten lives for one of your lives. When your elite soldiers are exhausted and you are finished fighting, you will not be far from death!

    Besides, Fatty Lu's ambition is to compete for the world with Kang Mazi and old traitor Wu. Since Fatty Lu has such an ambitious ambition, of course the elite soldier Fatty Lu must use it, and the second-rate army and third-rate soldier Fatty Lu must also use it.  Otherwise, where would Fatty Lu go to find so many cannon fodder to consume with the enemy?  Where can we find so many elite soldiers to occupy hundreds of cities, cities and counties?  Is it enough to rely on the less than 100,000 elite soldiers in your hand?  Besides, the elite soldiers in the Fatty Army were originally from the Wu Army. I don¡¯t know how much more similar elite Wu Jun is than the Fatty Army.  Win Wu Jun?

    Fortunately, Prince Zhang Taizhang, who almost succeeded in the sneak attack on Nanjing, sounded the alarm for Fatty Lu, and made Fatty Lu realize his fundamental mistake¡ªfrom a certain point of view, our Prince Zhang really helped Fatty Lu again.  Bundle.  So after learning from the pain, taking advantage of the precious time gained after the repelling of the Qing troops from all walks of life, Fatty Lu immediately started the work of recruiting new soldiers, preparing to expand the two corps of Han Daren and Li Tianzhi to more than 40,000 people each  In order to meet more cruel and severe tests in the future, the Gaode Jiebing Regiment and Li Guodong's navy expanded to more than 50,000 people, and the Central Army Corps expanded to more than 60,000 people.

    The expansion of the army has nearly doubled in one breath. Although the current financial and material resources of the Fatty Army can fully afford it, it is not so easy and simple to achieve this goal in a short period of time. First of all, the selection of qualified soldiers is a big problem  , and then there are the distribution of weapons and uniforms, the training and brainwashing of new recruits, the organization and garrison of recruits, etc., and so on, a bunch of headaches.  But fortunately, Fatty Lu¡¯s civil and military lackeys are quite capable, experienced and capable. Basically, as long as Fatty Lu gives an order, there will be people to execute it, so that Fatty Lu can free up time and energy to concentrate on thinking and  Arranging another major event to lure Kang Mazi to conquer the south of the Yangtze River himself.After Xiaozhuang's old hag, the soldiers flew to report that Zhou Peigong had been found, and now he was living in the post house on Qipan Street in the capital. Tuhai was overjoyed when he heard the news, and quickly thanked Yue Lefujin for his kind stay.  Regardless of the darkening sky, he hurried to Qipan Street to meet Zhou Peigong.

    When it was completely dark, Tuhai went to the post house on Deqipan Street and handed the famous thorn to Geshha in front of the door. After a while, Zhou Peigong in a Confucian robe greeted the door in person, and knelt down to Tuhai without saying a word.  , said excitedly: "Slave Zhou Peigong, please greet Enxiang. I haven't seen you for many years, can Enxiang be well?"

    "It's okay, it's okay." Tu Hai swollen his face to look like a fat man, and reluctantly nodded. When he looked closely at Zhou Peigong's appearance, Tu Hai couldn't help feeling sad and jealous. Not seeing him for two years, Zhou Peigong not only didn't look old at all, but also became more and more mature.  He is handsome and elegant, handsome and natural and unrestrained, with thick, black and bright eyebrows that are set apart, revealing a sense of pride and spirit.  Looking at his wrinkled hands and gray beard again, Tu Hai couldn't help but sighed in his heart, "People are different."

    "Enxiang, Enxiang, please come in quickly." Zhou Peigong hurriedly led the way again, and asked affectionately: "Enxiang must have not eaten yet, right? This servant just asked someone to arrange a meal for Enxiang."

    "I haven't eaten the meal." Tu Hai nodded, and said again: "But I came to you today because I have something important to discuss with you."

    "That's just right, the servant hasn't eaten yet, and the servant asked someone to arrange dinner and wine, how about we talk while eating?" Zhou Peigong asked again hastily.

    Seeing that Tuhai nodded, Zhou Peigong hurriedly explained, and personally led Tuhai to the back hall, served tea for Tuhai with both hands, nodded and bowed and kept asking for his health, and his respect was exactly the same as when he was in Tuhai's shogunate.  After a while, the exquisite wine and dishes were brought into the back hall, and Zhou Peigong drove away the soldiers and servants in the room, and then invited Tu Hai to the table, and sat across from Tu Hai, and personally poured wine for each cup, Tu Hai continued to be humble  thank.

    After a long time of hypocritical politeness and greeting each other, Tuhai finally realized that Zhou Peigong also came to the capital just the day before yesterday, and he had already met Kang Mazi once, and when he asked about the situation during his meeting with Kang Mazi, Zhou Peigong did not answer directly, but instead asked  Said: "En Xiang, do you know that the master already has the idea of ??driving the Jiangnan battlefield?"

    "That's why I came back." Tu Hai said with a wry smile: "At the end of February, the master issued an ultimatum to Lord An, ordering Lord An to come up with a record that satisfies the master before March 23rd.  Otherwise, the master will have to personally conquer."

    "Enxiang, has Prince An done the job assigned by the master?" Zhou Peigong asked.

    "If it's done, I won't come back to the capital." Tu Hai's smile was even more bitter, and he hurriedly introduced the situation of Yue Le's attack on three fronts and four fronts, but failed on three fronts and three fronts.

    "Oops!" Zhou Peigong slapped the table, and repeatedly complained: "Prince An's battle has ended like this, the master must make up his mind to fight by himself!"

    "We must not allow the master to conquest himself!" Tuhai shook his head quickly, and was about to communicate with Zhou Peigong. When he agreed on the tone, there was a report from Zhou Peigong's soldiers outside the door, "Tutang, Mr. Zhou, there are people coming from the palace!"  , is Li Yinzhi, Eunuch Li, the Chief Eunuch of the Empress Dowager¡¯s ancestral palace.¡±

    "Please." Tuhai and Zhou Peigong were overjoyed together, and hurriedly got up and went out to greet them. As soon as they walked to the front hall, Li Yinzheng, the personal eunuch of the old witch of Xiaozhuang, hurried into the hall and sang before he could salute: "The old ancestor of the empress dowager  Orally, Tuhai and Zhou Peigong kneel to accept."

    "The slave is here, the ancestors are thousands of years old." Zhou Peigong and Tu Hai quickly knelt down together.  Li Yinzheng sang: "The Empress Dowager's ancestor, Junzhi, wrote Tuhai and Zhou Peigong and followed Li Yinzheng into the palace to see your Majesty. I respect you."

    "Slave complies with the decree, and our ancestors will be a thousand years old." Tu Hai and Zhou Peigong happily agreed, saying that it would be great if they could see the empress dowager's ancestors, as long as she can stand by our side, things will be easy  too much.

    "My lords, please get up and go with the slaves, the ancestors are still waiting for you in the palace." Li Yinzheng urged.  Tu Hai and Zhou Peigong agreed, and just about to get up, there was a new voice of singing and shouting outside the door, "Eunuch Zhang, the chief manager of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, has arrived."

    Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Tu Hai and Zhou Peigong to react, Zhang Wanqiang, Kang Mazi's personal eunuch, walked in quickly, and sang directly: "The emperor's lord ordered: Tu Hai and Zhou Peigong will immediately enter the palace to meet you. Hereby."

    "How does the emperor know that I have already entered the capital? Do you know that I am here with Zhou Peigong?" Tu Hai cried out again in his heart, and secretly said: "Too bad, to see the ancestors of the emperor and the empress dowager at the same time, there are many things that cannot be agreed in advance, the emperor  And so impatient, maybe tonight, the emperor¡¯s master will decide whether or not to conscript himself.¡± (To be continued.

    (ps: There are only a few hours left in April, ask for the last monthly pass and subscription, and book the May monthly pass in a few hours.)

    When Tu Hai and Zhou Peigong, good friends for many years, entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation they had been away for a long time, they unexpectedly found that not only Kang Mazi had been waiting for a long time in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but also several people from the Qing court  The University is waiting in this brightly lit Hall of Mental Cultivation, such as Mingzhu Suo'etu, Batai Li Ji Du Lide, Duhana Fu Dali Jue Luo Le Dehun, Zhang Ying, Gao Shiqi, Xu Yuanwen and other officials from the South Study Room.  Also in the hall, although the number of people was not as high as that of the general early court, they were all the core members of the Qing court. No one dared to refute the matter that was agreed together in the early court.

    "Slaves Tuhai and Zhou Peigong, kowtow to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

    Peeping at the unfriendly expression on Kang Mazima's face, Tu Hai and Zhou Peigong didn't dare to neglect, they quickly knelt down on both knees, and kowtowed cautiously.  Sure enough, Kang Mazi did not let Tu Hai and Zhou Peigong get up, but asked with a pockmarked face, "Tu Hai, when did you return to the capital? After returning to the capital, where did you go?"

    "Back to the master, the servant is the capital city that I returned to this afternoon." Tu Hai replied tremblingly: "After returning to the capital, the servant first went to Prince An's mansion, and sent a letter from home for Prince An, and then the servant went to the post office on Qipan Street.  Lord Zhou Peigong."

    "You have time to carry letters from home for others, and you have time to visit old friends, so why don't you have time to go to the palace to see them?" Kang Mazi slapped the fake dragon case, and asked angrily, "Could it be that you think your personal affairs are more important than yours?"  Is my military affairs important?"

    "Your servant will die!" Tu Hai was so frightened that he kowtowed his head to plead guilty, and explained: "When this servant returned to the capital, it was almost Shenshi, and he didn't have time to bathe and change clothes.  I plan to ask to see the master again tomorrow morning!"

    "Fart!" Kang Mazi was even more angry, and he slapped the fake dragon case again and shouted: "Then besides bringing Yue Le's family letter, did you bring anything else to give to Yue Le's Sanfujin? I'm afraid that thing,  Is that the real reason why you don't want to see me today?"

    The cold sweat on Tuhai's body soaked his underwear all at once, and at the same time he quickly came to his senses - it must be the fact that Yue Le delivered the secret book to the old witch of Xiaozhuang through his third wife Hesheli last time, and Kang Mazi had already found out  , has already made Kang Mazi furious, so this time I went back to Beijing to carry the secret book for Yue Le, and was immediately discovered by the spy of the Thirteenth Yamen, and immediately stabbed in front of Kang Mazi.  Knowing this, Tu Hai hurriedly kowtowed again to plead guilty, and explained bravely: "Master Shengming, the situation is indeed the case, but the slave is also following orders, please investigate clearly."

    "I knew you would say that!" Kang Mazi snorted coldly, ignored Tu Hai and Zhou Peigong, just leaned back on the fake dragon chair and closed his eyes.  They summoned so many people, but refused to speak, let alone asked Tu Hai about the frontline military situation in the Jiangnan battlefield, but the ministers of Mite Qing didn't dare to ask more, they just waited patiently with fear.

    "The ancestors of the Empress Dowager have arrived¡ª¡ª!"

    It didn't take long for the ministers of Mite Qing to get the answer. Not long after, the eunuchs shouted loudly from the eunuchs outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.  Hearing this voice, most of the ministers present in the Qing Dynasty jumped in their hearts. They wondered why the old hag of Xiaozhuang, who had seldom interfered in political affairs in the past few years, arrived so coincidentally.  Only Kang Mazi's absolute confidantes, such as Suo'etu and Mingzhu, understood the reason, and quickly lowered their heads, their hearts beating wildly.  Kang Mazi slowly opened his numb eyes, with a complicated expression on his numb face, as if there was still a bit of disdain.

    Immediately afterwards, with the support of Lagu Su Ma and Li Yinzheng, the old hag of Xiaozhuang walked quickly to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. When she saw Kang Mazi leading a dozen or so important ministers to kowtow to salute, the old hag of Xiaozhuang couldn't help being stunned.  , hurriedly asked Kang Mazi: "Your Majesty, what's the matter? It's so late, Your Majesty still summoned so many courtiers?"

    "Going back to grandma, Tu Hai went back to Beijing to report on his duties, and reported the specific situation of the Jiangnan War. The matter is of great importance, so the Emperor specially summoned a group of ministers to listen to the frontline military situation with them, so as to discuss countermeasures." Kang Mazi replied politely.  road.

    "It turns out that's the case, let's all be flat." Xiao Zhuang nodded, forced a smile, but was suspicious in his heart, "Could the emperor be deliberately blocking the mouth of Ai's family? There are so many court ministers, and Ai's family has a lot of words."  , it¡¯s really inconvenient to say.¡±

    "Thank you grandma, come here, set up a seat for the old ancestor." Kang Mazi personally helped Xiaozhuang to sit next to him with a friendly attitude, and let all the important officials of Chiqing stand back to their original positions, and then shouted at Tuhai:  "Tu Hai, report the military situation on the front line, and let the ancestors and my lover know what you did with the last month I gave you."

    "Cover." Tuhai kowtowed.??If you listen to you again, the Qing Dynasty will be over!  It's all over!  "

    Aunt Su Ma didn't dare to speak anymore, but Xiao Zhuang suddenly stood up, walked up to Kang Mazi, raised his right hand and slapped Kang Mazi hard on the face, with a "slap" that slapped Kang Mazi's pockmarked face  Blossoms, red and swollen fingerprints!  It was also so shocking that everyone present was stunned and stunned, and even more shocked that Kang Mazi was stunned, saying that he never thought that his kind and kind grandmother would hit him.

    "Aijia's slap is for the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty." The old hag of Xiaozhuang said coldly: "Wake up your mind and save your life. Do you think you are the emperor?  If it wasn't for the fact that the Ai family has gone through life and death for you all these years, and endured humiliation, would you still be the emperor today?"

    "Do you think you are the emperor, and you are Lu Yifeng's opponent on the battlefield? Aijia can tell you that even the old thief Wu Sangui, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, dare not guarantee that he will be able to fight with real swords and guns on the battlefield.  Defeat Lu Yifeng's dog thief! His only chance of winning now is the old man of Pingxi Wangfu in Lu Yifeng's dog thief team. Those people dare not fight Wu Sangui's old thief! You go to a decisive battle with Lu Yifeng's dog thief, Aijia guarantees that you will lose  Not even a bone to be found!"

    "Do you think that the reason why the Qing Dynasty can survive until today is because of your stupid strategy of comprehensive attack? Don't talk nonsense, you can survive until today, one is because Lu Yifeng's dog thief is fledgling, and the other is that Wu Sangui is an old thief.  Suddenly fell ill, you got shit luck! If you even want to give up this little bit of luck, don't want to hold on to it, and insist on sending it to your door to be slaughtered by Lu Yifeng's bastard, then you are really doomed, sir  Qingcai is really over!"

    After scolding Kang Mazi bloody, the old hag of Xiaozhuang took out a letter from her sleeve and put it on Kang Mazi's pseudo-dragon case.  The letter from the thief to Aijia, he has agreed to Aijia's begging, decided to draw the Yangtze River, Hanshui and Tongguan as boundaries with you, and temporarily ceased fighting. At the same time, in order to prove his sincerity in the peace talks, he has ordered the withdrawal of the troops attacking Tongguan  The Ai family can tell you that the old thief Wu Sangui is not playing tricks this time, he has also discovered the danger of Lu Yifeng's dog thief, and he is going to solve the internal hidden dangers first, and then plan the world, so you can rest assured and boldly negotiate peace with him  .¡±

    Speaking of this, the old hag of Xiaozhuang paused to calm down her anger, and then said lightly: "So, your majesty, you have two choices now, one is to stop the war with the old thief Wu Sangui, and give up the south of the Yangtze River to preserve your strength,  Let the old thief Wu Sangui and the dog thief Lu Yifeng go to kill each other, and you will reap the benefits. The second is that you insist on your own opinion and lead the army to conquer¡ªbut you have to walk out of this Beijing city with the corpse of Aijia!"

    After all, Xiaozhuang stopped talking to Kang Mazi, and walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. When Aunt Su Ma and Li Yinzheng rushed up to help him, the old witch of Xiaozhuang suddenly turned to the officials in the hall and shouted:  "You slaves, if you don't want your master to die tragically, and you don't want our Qing Dynasty to be ruined, then please persuade your master! Don't let him be confused, don't let him die in vain!"

    "My family, please" Before she finished speaking, the dignified and prudent Xiaozhuang old hag, for the first time broke down in tears in front of outsiders, and left.  (To be continued.

    (ps: It¡¯s May, so I¡¯ll repeat it again, please subscribe, ask for a monthly pass, and ask for a reward.)

    The old witch of Xiaozhuang walked for a long time, and the Hall of Mental Cultivation was always silent, so quiet that each other could hear each other's heartbeat, Kang Mazi also stood motionless beside the false dragon chair, with a dazed expression on his face, as if he was still immersed in his head.  In the shock of being beaten by his grandmother, he could only find out when he got close to him. In his scorched yellow eyes, complex lights kept flashing, anger, humiliation, doubt, shame, confusion, everything that one expects to find.

    I don't know how much time has passed, Kang Mazi finally stretched out his hand tremblingly, picked up the letter left by Xiaozhuang, and tremblingly pulled out the letter paper, opened it for a closer look.  Peeking at this scene, many of the important ministers in the Hall of Mental Cultivation hurriedly lowered their heads again, anxiously waiting for Kang Mazi's next reaction, to wake up, or to go further into a rage.

    I don't know how long after that, Kang Mazi's voice finally rang out in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which was so quiet that one could almost go crazy, and said hoarsely and weakly: "All of you, kneel down, let me think about this matter again."

    "Zhe, long live the emperor, long live, long live." All the ministers of Mi Qing hurriedly kowtowed in agreement as if they had received amnesty, and then quickly got up, regardless of the numbness of their knees, and walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation carefully and silently  , It wasn't until they walked out of Yangxinmen and breathed the dry and cold air at night in Beijing that all the ministers of Mite Qing breathed a sigh of relief together, feeling as if they felt a world away.

    After the guards led them out of the Xihua Gate without saying a word, the officials of Mite Qing were divided into three groups and dispersed, one group was headed by Suo'etu, the other group was headed by Ming Zhu, and the rest were those who did not join these two factions.  A neutral official, Tuhai has been away from the center for a long time, and he has no deep friendship with Mingzhu and Suo'etu, and Zhou Peigong is the same, so a pair of good friends naturally walked together and got in the same carriage.

    "Unexpected." Tu Hai sighed and murmured in a low voice until the carriage started to drive and there were no outsiders around, "I never thought that the emperor's temper would be so stubborn, and that the old ancestor would  .¡±

    Speaking of this, Tu Hai didn't dare to mutter even in a low voice, while Zhou Peigong leaned back against the carriage seat and said nothing, as if he was deep in thought.  After Tu Hai hesitated for a moment, he asked in a low voice: "Pei Gong, in your opinion, will the emperor change his mind? Is there a chance to implement the wonderful plan of the empress dowager's ancestors?"

    Zhou Peigong continued to remain silent. After a while, he sighed and said in a low voice: "It's hard to say. The master's personality is too strong. In front of so many people, it will be counterproductive to be called by the ancestors of the empress dowager, I'm afraid"  But fortunately, judging from the fact that the master didn't show up until the end, the master is probably already tempted, but he is still hesitating, and he can't hold back his face, so he can't make up his mind for the time being."

    "Then will the master finally adopt the old ancestor's strategy?" Tu Hai asked.

    "This" Zhou Peigong hesitated again, and then replied: "It is not certain yet, and now the master is still hesitating whether to change the counter-insurgency strategy of the all-out campaign, I am afraid the master will have to spend some time weighing the pros and cons  , it is difficult to have results in a short period of time.¡±

    "I hope the master can wake up." Tuhai sighed again, and murmured: "In the current situation, if our Qing Dynasty continues to carry out an all-out campaign, it will be a dead end. We can only switch from offense to defense.  There is a little hope that the life and death of Daqing is already in the master's mind."

    "Regarding this point, Enxiangda can rest assured." Zhou Peigong said with a smile: "In fact, when I was in the Hall of Mental Cultivation just now, I have already figured out a method that can definitely persuade the master to change his mind and adopt the old ancestor's strategy.  I haven¡¯t arrived yet, so I haven¡¯t brought it up yet. Let the master calm down for two days, and then I can start.¡±

    "What's the best way? Do you need my help?" Tu Hai asked in surprise.

    "Master En understands the situation of the enemy ahead, and it is of course best to have your help." Zhou Peigong smiled slightly, and whispered in Tuhai's ear: "The slave is planning to advise the master, and then the master will definitely adopt the advice of the empress dowager's ancestors."  It's a strategy."

    "Wonderful! Why didn't I think of this?!" Tu Hai waved his fist, and said with joy and admiration: "Pei Gong really deserves to be Zhuge of the Qing Dynasty, Xiao Zhangliang of the Eight Banners! Such a brilliant idea,  Even if I break my head, I can't figure it out!"

    "Your kindness is too much. If there is no foundation laid by the ancestors, the slave's method may not be able to change the master's mind." Zhou Peigong smiled modestly, and said to himself proudly: "Son Lu Yifeng, this  Once, I want you to spit out everything you owed me, your benefactor, and our Qing dynasty!"

    Tu Hai smiled grimly and nodded, deeply sympathized with Zhou Peigong's words, suddenly slapped his lame leg again, and said angrily: "There were broken teacups and teacups, while Kang Mazi was reclining on the pseudo-dragon chair, very depressed.  Tu Hai and Zhou Peigong didn't dare to neglect, they quickly knelt down together, kowtowed and said: "Slave Tuhai, Zhou Peigong, kowtow to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

    Kang Mazi didn't move at all, and after a long time, he asked with a hoarse voice, "Do you think I was all wrong before? Shouldn't I disregard the actual situation of the country and insist on encircling Lu Yifeng's dog thief with all my strength?"

    "Back to the master, you are right." Zhou Peigong replied loudly: "Lu Yifeng is a thug, a coward, rebellion, deceitful, deceitful, he deserves death! Not only is it true that the master is encircling him with all his strength, but he is continuing to encircle and suppress!  This thief is also an extremely wise decision!"

    "Really?" Kang Mazi's eyelids moved, and he opened his numb eyes, revealing bloodshot yellow eyeballs. He glanced at Zhou Peigong and Tu Hai in surprise, and then asked, "So, you are against the old ancestors?"  decision?"

    "The emperor misunderstood. The servants support the emperor to continue to destroy Lu Yifeng's dog thief, but they do not oppose the decision of the ancestors." Zhou Peigong replied in a deep voice: "Because the servants believe that the emperor's strategy of suppressing thieves is not in line with the ancestor's plan.  There is no conflict in the strategy of rebellion, on the contrary, they can complement each other and make Lu Yifeng a thief!"

    "What do you mean?" Kang Mazi sat up straight and said, "Keep talking, the more detailed the better."

    "Before the slave made a statement, the slave dared to ask the master a question." Zhou Peigong asked cautiously: "May I ask the master, among the old thief Wu Sangui and the two thieves Lu Yifeng, which one does the master hate the most?"

    "Who do I hate the most?" Kang Mazi was stunned, only thought for a moment, and immediately bit his black, yellow and uneven teeth, and said firmly: "Of course it's Lu Yifeng's dog thief! Although Wu Sangui's old thief is equally hateful  , but at least he has made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, and he has made great contributions¡ªand Lu Yifeng, a dog thief, since he became an official, has done everything to dig up the foundation of our Qing dynasty, to dig our Qing Dynasty.  The foundation of the Celestial Dynasty, harming our Qing Dynasty! If I don¡¯t cut this thief into pieces, I swear I won¡¯t be human!!¡±

    "Slave understands." Zhou Peigong nodded, and asked again: "Slave has the courage to ask another question. For my Qing Dynasty, the old thief Wu Sangui or the dog thief Lu Yifeng, who does the master think is more dangerous?"

    "Of course it's still Lu Yifeng's thief!" Kang Mazi continued to grit his teeth, "Wu Sangui's old thief is notorious, he has a strong army but no benevolent government; Lu Yifeng's hypocrisy is good at buying people's hearts! Wu Sangui's old thief is old and sick, and has no successors;  Lu Yifeng's dog thief is young and vigorous, and if he is allowed to continue to grow, then his harm to the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty must be a hundred times and a thousand times that of Wu Sangui's old thief!"

    "I understand, and I think so too." Zhou Peigong nodded again, then suddenly lowered his voice, and said slowly: "Master, since you think that Lu Yifeng's bastard deserves more death than Wu Sangui's old thief, and is also more dangerous than Wu Sangui's old thief, Your Majesty  The ancestors of the Empress Dowager also proposed that the master should let me have peace talks with the old thief Wu Sangui, and let the old thief Wu Sangui go and Lu Yifeng's dog and dog to bite the dog and kill each other"

    "Then" At this point, Zhou Peigong paused, and then said more slowly: "Then why didn't the master think about forming an alliance with the old thief Wu Sangui and jointly exterminating the dog thief Lu Yifeng?"

    "Ah!" Kang Mazi screamed and stood up, and slapped the false dragon case and shouted: "Why didn't I think of forming an alliance with the old thief Wu Sangui and jointly encircling and suppressing Lu Yifeng's dog thief? In this way, I can treat Mrs.  The empress dowager's ancestors have given an explanation, and they can still cut Lu Yifeng into pieces?!" (To be continued.

    "Why didn't I expect to form an alliance with the old thief Wu Sangui and jointly encircle and suppress the dog thief Lu Yifeng? In this way, wouldn't I be able to explain to the ancestors of the empress dowager, and also cut the dog thief Lu Yifeng into pieces?  Ten thousand pieces of corpse?!"

    Patting the Pseudo-Dragon Case and roaring these words, Kang Mazi was so excited that every pockmark on his face glowed, and what shot out from his burnt-yellow eyes was all the light of excitement and carnival, and he was so excited that he almost raised his arms.  call.  But after thinking about it, Kang Mazi made another case about the false dragon, and roared in great disappointment: "It's all fucking nonsense! Lu Yifeng's dog thief and Wu Sangui's old thief haven't publicly fallen out yet, and he's the grandson-in-law of Wu Sangui's old thief again.  How could the old thief Wu Sangui form an alliance with me to encircle Lu Yifeng's dog thief?"

    "Master, please don't worry." Zhou Peigong replied with a smile, calmly, "according to my slave's opinion, if the master proposes to openly form an alliance with old thief Wu Sangui and join hands to kill the dog thief Lu Yifeng, then old thief Wu Sangui will, out of various considerations,  Maybe he will reject the master's proposal outright. But if the master proposes a secret alliance, the old thief Wu Sangui will have to agree."

    "What kind of secret alliance? Talk about it with your own body." Kang Mazi rekindled a glimmer of hope.

    "Thank you master." Zhou Peigong kowtowed his head to thank him, stood up together with Tu Hai, and said respectfully: "Master, please listen to this servant in detail. As the master said, the dog thief Lu Yifeng and the old thief Wu Sangui have not yet  Torn skins, and there is a little so-called kinship, it is very difficult for them to turn their faces immediately. Therefore, the slaves believe that the old thief Wu Sangui must have made two preparations now. One is to take back Jiangnan and the Jiangnan thief army by normal means.  Second, if Lu Yifeng's dog thief refuses to obey the order and joins his troops to cause chaos, then Wu Sangui's old thief will definitely attack with an iron fist and crush Lu Yifeng's dog thief into powder!"

    "In view of this, the slave suggests that the master should proceed in three steps." Zhou Peigong held up three fingers and said with a smile: "The first step, please adopt the old ancestor's strategy, negotiate a truce with the old thief Wu Sangui, draw the river as a boundary,  The old thief Wu Sangui had a showdown, pointing out that he had already made a plan to solve the Jiangnan problem by force, and asked him to form an alliance with his master to deal with the dog thief Lu Yifeng.  Land in the south of the Yangtze River. In the future, once the two thieves break their faces and fight, the old thief Wu Sangui must allow my Qing army to cross the river to attack the dog thief Lu Yifeng, avenge the millions of soldiers of the Eight Banners in the Qing Dynasty, and vent my heart for the master.  hatred."

    Kang Mazi rolled his eyes numbly, and nodded for a while before saying: "This strategy is feasible. This move is beneficial and harmless to the old thief Wu Sangui. He should not refuse. At the same time, my Qing Dynasty can also obtain food, grass, military pay, and new firearms during the war.  It's also beneficial and harmless, doable! Go on."

    "The second step is very simple, that is to faithfully fulfill the peace agreement between the ancestors and the old thief Wu Sangui, and withdraw the Qing troops in southern Anhui, northern Jiangxi, and Zhejiang to the north of the Yangtze River, and let the old thief Wu Sangui and Lu Yifeng dog  In the south of the Yangtze River, thieves bite dogs and kill each other." Zhou Peigong's smile became even more ferocious.

    "As for the third step, it is naturally how to cut off the dog's head of Lu Yifeng's dog thief." Zhou Peigong said with a smile: "Withdraw the Qing army from the south of the Yangtze River to the north of the Yangtze River, and the master will immediately have ten more soldiers in his hand."  With the tens of thousands of Qing elites, and the food, military pay, and a large amount of luggage they brought, the master's ability to actually participate in the Jiangnan battlefield will not be weakened in the slightest, on the contrary, it may be greatly increased because of the joint efforts."

    "At that time, my Qing Dynasty will be the first to attack the dog thief Lu Yifeng first; or sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, waiting for the dog thief Lu Yifeng and the old thief Wu Sangui to lose both, and then the master will pick the peaches;  Lu Yifeng's dog thief was defeated and fled to the north of the Yangtze River, and the master's decision to deal him a fatal blow can be decided by the master! And Lu Yifeng's dog thief was attacked on three sides, the team was torn apart, and the army was defeated and died, and it will be just around the corner."

    "Once Lu Yifeng's dog thief dies, the master can rest easy." Tu Hai bravely interrupted and said, "There have been rumors in the Shaanxi-Gansu battlefield that the old thief Wu Sangui is seriously ill and his time is running out. The master will use this old thief first.  Get rid of Lu Yifeng's dog thief, and wait for this old thief to die of illness, who else in the world can be the master's opponent?"

    With a solemn expression on his face, Kang Mazi slowly walked into the hall full of tea bowls, teacups and memorials, and walked in circles in the Hall of Mental Cultivation with his hands behind his back, walking faster and faster.  Tu Hai and Zhou Peigong knew that this was Kang Mazi's habit when he was nervously calculating. He always bowed his head, not even daring to take a breath, for fear of interrupting Kang Mazi's train of thought and causing unreasonable disasters.

    Just like this, there was a small stick of incense time, when Kang Mazi suddenly stood beside the pseudo-dragon case, bowed his head and thought for a while, then suddenly grabbed the only remaining jade pen holder on the pseudo-dragon case, and slammed it hard on the ground  It was smashed to pieces, and then hoarsely shouted: "Just do it! I will send the imperial envoy to Xi'an tomorrow, and Wu SanBig jump, before Mingzhu and his confidants could react, Hong Xiguan, who was sitting far away from Mingzhu just now, jumped up like a spring, and rushed towards Mingzhu with lightning speed.  When the attendant came forward to stop him screaming in alarm, he was kicked away by Hong Xiguan with three punches and two legs, and even snatched a carrying knife from Mingzhu's attendant, and put the knife on Mingzhu's neck, shouting: "Don't even allow it!"  Move! Otherwise, your master will die!"

    "Master!" All the followers screamed, but seeing the gleaming steel knife resting on Mingzhu's neck, they didn't dare to approach it.

    "Strong man, what are you doing?" Mingzhu was also taken aback by fright, she never thought that the cross-eyed person in front of her would be so skilled, and beat the four best followers in her mansion to the ground with three or two blows.

    "Lord Zhongtang, stop pretending." Hong Xiguan said with a sneer, "Do you think I have not made some preparations and precautions? My companions are lying in ambush on the roof outside. Whenever they see something wrong, they will immediately throw a grenade and call the police!  "

    "Oops, why didn't I think of sending someone to search the roof?" Ming Zhu secretly groaned. Just now, Ming Zhu was also on guard against Officer Hong Xi and his companions, and sent people to search the surrounding streets and alleys, but she didn't expect that Officer Hong Xi's companions would hide  On the roof of the house in the dark, avoiding his search.

    "Tell me, what happened outside?" Hong Xiguan held Mingzhu's hands with one hand, and put the knife on Mingzhu's neck with the other and shouted angrily.

    "If I say that I don't know what happened outside, can the strong man believe it?" Mingzhu replied with a wry smile.

    "Fart!" Hong Xiguan said angrily: "If there is no accident outside, how could my people throw grenades and call the police? Listen, there are people outside shouting to kill!"

    "I really don't know." Mingzhu smiled bitterly, and said in a low voice: "If I guessed correctly, it should be the eyeliner planted by the emperor in my house who discovered that I had a secret interview with you and reported a letter to the Thirteen Yamen.  The Sanyamen sent people here to eavesdrop on our secret conversation, or to arrest you, and was discovered by your companion, the strong man?"

    "Emperor Mangou planted eyeliner in your house?" Hong Xiguan couldn't believe his ears, and said angrily: "Who the hell are you kidding? Emperor Mangou planted eyeliner in your house, you know you still don't find it out?"

    "Why do I want to find out?" Mingzhu asked Hong Xiguan in a low voice with some surprise: "Didn't that cunning Lu Yifeng tell you that people like us, even if they know about the eyeliner sent by their immediate superiors?"  Do you want to pretend you don't know? Otherwise, there will be a catastrophe immediately?"

    "Our general has as many fancy intestines as you, Mangou?" Hong Xiguan was even more furious, "Our general is magnanimous and selfless, with a noble character, will he be with you Mangou?"

    "Lu Yifeng is magnanimous and selfless? He is a noble character?" Mingzhu almost couldn't laugh out loud, thinking that Fatty Lu is a hundred times more cunning than Lao Tzu, okay?  But for the sake of her own life, Mingzhu still said honestly: "Strong man, believe it or not, it's up to you, the accident outside was not on purpose. To be honest, I planned to arrest you, but I never thought of arresting you by force¡ª¡ª  If you don¡¯t believe me, you can take a look at the cup of tea in front of you. There is sweat medicine in it, but you didn¡¯t take a sip, so you don¡¯t know my way. Please think about it, strong man, since I have already made such an arrangement, why bother to come here again?  Scaring the snake outside?"

    "Fuck you!" Hong Xiguan almost lost his temper, kicked Mingzhu fiercely, and cursed angrily: "You are full of dogs, you really don't have a single good thing!"

    During the conversation, all the servants and slaves in Mingzhu's mansion rushed to the door of the study, surrounded Mingzhu's study, and yelled to force Hong Xiguan to hand over Mingzhu.  Zhang Feiyu, the housekeeper of Mingzhu Mansion, also ordered the servant to surround the study, and whispered to a servant who was running out of breath, "What are you doing? I want you to lead someone to lie in ambush outside the door, and prepare to catch that  How did the secret envoy of the rebels alarm the companions of the rebels?"

    "No, no." The servant yelled in a low voice with a mournful face, "Boss, you have wronged the servant, and the servant led the people two streets away from here, and the firearms of the rebels exploded on the street of Longhua Temple  , not our alarmed anti-thief companion!"

    "Who is that?" Zhang Feiyu was taken aback, "Could it be that a passer-by accidentally alarmed the rebel's companion? The rebel's companion got nervous and falsely reported the warning?"

    "Go away, anyone who dares to approach, I will kill Mingzhu Xiaoer¡ª!"

    At this time, Hong Xiguan was already carrying Mingzhu to the door of the study. Although it was said that the servants and slaves of Zhufu were afraid that Hong Xiguan would hurt their master, they all retreated as ordered, but when they saw the shining knives and guns all over the yard, they heard  With the sound of yelling and shouting outside the courtyard, Hong Xiguan still knew in his heart that this time, it might be very difficult for him to get out of Beijing city alive.

    "General, Officer Hong Xi is incompetent and unlucky. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to go back to protect you.

 351 Chapter 351 Reluctant to let the child not be a wolf

    ?

    "Go away! Go away! Take another step closer, and I will kill this full dog with one knife!"

    Roaring with red eyes, Hong Xiguan placed it on Mingzhu's neck, and carefully passed through the encirclement of Mingzhu's servants. Ding's servants in Mingfu were afraid that Hong Xiguan would hurt Mingzhu, so they didn't dare to stop him, so they could only yell.  He threatened and reprimanded Hong Xiguan, forcing Hong Xiguan to let him go. While being threatened by Hong Xiguan, he slowly backed down, and watched Hong Xiguan hold Mingzhu out of the siege, and then followed him.

    At this time, the street outside the gate of the Ming Mansion was already brightly lit and crowded with people. Yamen servants, officials and patrolling soldiers who heard the explosion rushed in groups with torches;  Uncle Tong Guowei heard the explosion, learned the lesson of Yang Qilong's rebellion, and quickly made arrangements. While arranging heavy troops to strengthen the defense of the Nine Gates, he personally led hundreds of elite soldiers to check the situation;  The Miqing Qianfeng Battalion and Shanpu Battalion within the area also quickly dispatched emergency teams to Longhua Temple, fearing that the nighttime explosion would be a prelude to the Yang Qilong Rebellion.

    "Boom! Boom!" Two more explosions sounded outside the gate of the Ming Mansion, blocking the gates in front of the government servants and spectators, flying blood and blood, crying ghosts and howling wolves, scrambling for the first place.  He rushed out of the gate of the Ming Mansion two steps at a time, and when the members of the Ming Mansion rushed out of the gate, two men in black jumped off the roof of the Ming Mansion Gate, and swung their knives to cut off the servants of the Ming Mansion to protect Hong Xiguan and Mingzhu.  He yelled: "Go back, or your master will be cut off!"

    "Why the two of you?" Hong Xiguan asked in a low voice to the two companions who belonged to the Tiandihui: "Where is Yuan Jinwei? Why didn't you see him?"

    "I don't know, we haven't seen him since he threw a grenade to call the police just now." A member of the Heaven and Earth Congregation replied in a low voice.  Another Tiandihui congregation contemptuously said: "It must be because of the bad situation and ran away. His brother-in-law is Xiao Erlang, the captain of the general's personal army. He has nepotism and has a bright future. Of course, he cherishes his life more than us."

    "It's fine for him to run away, but his skills are not good enough. If he stays, he will cause us trouble." Hong Xiguan didn't think about other things. Instead, he was a little thankful that Yuan Jinwei, who was the least skilled among the four of us, escaped early.  Did not stay to pull back.  At that moment, Officer Hong Xi pulled Mingzhu again, and shouted to his two companions in a low voice: "Go to Deshengmen, take this Mangou as a hostage, and force the Mangou of Deshengmen to open the door."

    The two Tiandihui congregations agreed to quickly protect Hong Xiguan, and while taking Mingzhu as a hostage to open the way, they retreated to the nearest Deshengmen.  But before going very far, Hong Xiguan and others realized that they were thinking too beautifully. The Qing army, government servants and official servants affiliated to various yamen came here in an endless stream, and the people near Longhua Temple  The streets and alleys of the city were completely blocked, and Hong Xiguan, Mingzhu and others were surrounded heavily. No matter how Hong Xiguan and others threatened Mingzhu's life, they refused to give way. They just blocked the road with knives, guns, bows and arrows.  Arrows were fired at random, shooting Hong Xiguan, the three officials and Mingzhu into briquettes.

    "Tell the dogs to make way!" Hong Xiguan kicked Mingzhu and shouted, "Tell them to make way, or I will cut off one of your ears right away!"

    "Hong Zhuangshi, it's useless even if you cut off my two ears." Mingzhu replied with a wry smile, "They are either the infantry commanding the yamen or the vanguard battalion. They don't obey my command at all, and I have no right to order them to make way.  .¡±

    "Fuck!" Officer Hong Xi cursed, then pushed Mingzhu forward, and yelled at the soldiers blocking the way: "Let me take care of everything, this is your full-fledged Minister of War, Mingzhu Mingzhongtang, I don't want him  If I die, I will immediately give way to Lao Tzu! Now I count to three, if I don¡¯t give way, I will cut off one of his ears! One!"

    "Rebels! It's useless even if you count to three hundred!" A Qing official stood up, hid behind his shield, pointed at Hong Xi, and cursed righteously: "Ming Zhongtang is loyal to my Qing,  I have long been prepared to sacrifice my life for the country at any time, and it is useless for you to hold him as a hostage! If you are smart, let Ming Zhongtang kneel and surrender immediately, otherwise, our soldiers of the Qing Dynasty will kill you immediately.  Dog's life!"

    "This guy, why do you seem to be eager for me to cut off your ears?" Hong Xiguan was taken aback, and couldn't help asking Mingzhu in a low voice.

    "Because he is my deadly enemy, Soetuso Zhongtang." Mingzhu replied helplessly.

    "Fuck!" Hong Xiguan cursed again.  But Suo'etu yelled over there again, "Ming Zhongtang, I have wronged you. You are willing to sacrifice your precious life for the harmony and stability of the capital of the Qing Dynasty, and for the people of the Eight Banners to live and work in peace and contentment. I admire you so much! Please!  Don't worry, Suo Mou will naturally play Ming Shengshang and give you permission to bury you in a grand manner¡ªgive it to me!"

    "Who dares to go up?!" Hong Xiguan yelled again, and tore off his coat, revealingAfter the army retreated, they retreated to the north of the Yangtze River in an all-round way, so that the old thief Wu Sangui?  "

    Thinking of this, Xiaozhuang's old witch's heart suddenly jumped, her face began to change greatly, and she thought: "Could it be that Lu Yifeng's dog thief has already grasped the condition of Wu Sangui's old thief, knowing that Wu Sangui's life is not long, and he is going to temporarily stabilize us  Gain time and wait for the old thief Wu Sangui to die? There is a possibility that Lu Yifeng's dog thief is the grandson-in-law of the old thief Wu Sangui, and there are many strange people under his command. It is far easier to spy on the real illness of the old thief Wu Sangui than Aijia!"

    "If this is the case, Lu Yifeng's dog thief bought time, and after the breath was relieved, we delayed more time in negotiating with Wu Sangui's old thief, and Wu Sangui's old thief died suddenly during this period. No one in the world can control it  Living in Lu Yifeng as a dog thief, wouldn¡¯t the Ai family become the sinners of the Qing Dynasty through the ages?!¡±

    Thinking up to this point, and carefully recalling the illness of the old traitor Wu who made the spy report carefully, the old hag of Xiaozhuang finally made up her mind, nodded reluctantly and said: "Your Majesty, maybe the Ai family made a mistake this time, you can figure it out.  The Ai family no longer interferes with your counter-insurgency decisions. But the Ai family still has the same condition, you can¡¯t lead the conquest yourself.¡±

    "But grandma, if the son emperor doesn't personally lead the expedition, then who else can be the coach of Nanzheng?" Kang Mazi asked again: "Will you count on Yue Le, who was scared by Lu Yifeng's dog thief, or count on that lame man who is afraid of death?"  Tuhai?"

    Xiao Zhuang was silent, and after a long time, Xiao Zhuang said with difficulty: "Well, Ai's family makes a concession, but you also have to agree to another condition of Ai's family, you can't cross the Yellow River! You can only command counter-insurgency in the north of the Yellow River, and you can't cross the river."  Yellow River."

    "Can't cross the Yellow River?" Kang Mazi shouted again, thinking that the Yellow River is five or six hundred miles away from Yangzhou, and I can't cross the Yellow River, so how can I personally command and supervise the formation?

    Anger turned to anger, and after thinking about it, Kang Mazi slapped the old witch of Xiaozhuang again, and said respectfully: "Okay, grandson agrees to grandma." (To be continued.

 Chapter 352

    ?

    On the second year of the Chinese New Year, on the sixth day of April in the fourteenth year of Kang Mazi, and also the second day after the tragic death of Shangshu Mingzhu of the Ministry of War of the Qing Dynasty, Kang Mazi called a big uprising, that is, summoned all the officials of the fourth rank and above in Beijing and Prince Baylor into the palace.  , went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to participate in the early dynasty, and publicly discussed military and state affairs-to be precise, it was to discuss the matter of Kang Mazi's personal expedition to the south of the Yangtze River.

    At the beginning of the court meeting, Kang Mazi first asked Tong Guowei to introduce the turmoil that happened in the capital last night to the officials, and also praised Mingzhu and the traitor Hong Xiguan for their loyalty.  Mazi's seventh younger brother, Prince Chun, Longxi, sacrificed on behalf of heaven, and rewarded Mingzhu's two sons, Nalan Xingde and Nalan Kuixu, each with a hereditary official position, to show Kang Mazi's care and care for his loyal servants and encourage other servants  To learn from Mingzhu, I would rather perish with the rebels than bow down to the rebels¡ªalthough Kang Mazi is also suspicious, Mingzhu just didn't seize the opportunity to bend his knees.

    After this cutscene, Mi Sihan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, took over the position of Minister of Military Affairs vacated by Mingzhu. Kang Mazi changed his mind, and once again announced at the court meeting that he would personally lead the army to fight against the rebel Lu  Yifeng recaptured Jiangnan and opened up water transportation.  As a result, Kang Mazi's decision naturally aroused great controversy at the court meeting. The officials were divided into two factions, one group supported Kang Mazi's wise decision, and the other group firmly opposed it, believing that Kang Mazi was the king of the world.  It's important, but lightly away from the fundamental place of the capital, once something happens, the consequences will be unimaginable!

    Objectively speaking, the courtiers who support Kang Mazi's personal conquest may not necessarily be the truly loyal slaves to Kang Mazi, but the courtiers who resolutely oppose Kang Mazi's personal conquest may really be Kang Mazi's loyal servants¡ªbecause they are really loyal to Kang Mazi.  It's too clear that Kang Mazi's personal conquest, who has never been on the battlefield, may not only have the effect of boosting morale, but it may also have a greater effect on adding chaos to the front line, making the Qing army in front even more restrained, and making that one come out.  The cunning Fatty Lu took advantage of the opportunity, and caught the golden opportunity to capture the thief first and capture the king first.

    Not to mention, there are quite a few capable, visionary, and courageous officials in Mazi Chaoli. When Kang Mazi was ashamed, many officials resisted the pressure and pointed out to Kang Mazi the three major dangers of personal conscripts.  First, it is far away from the capital, and it is impossible to command the national battlefield in the center; second, the chances of winning are not great. Although the Qing army is numerous, it is not as elite as the bandit army.  There is no hope; three, danger, the bandit general Lu Yifeng has never lost a single battle since his debut, and Kang Mazi's personal conquest is more dangerous than good.

    By the way, even Jue Luole Dehun, a veteran minister of the Qing Dynasty who always appeared in the role of soy sauce, stood up straight this time for the first time, leading this group of rational Qing officials to resolutely oppose Kang  Mazi went on a personal expedition, and suggested that Kang Mazi change his counter-insurgency strategy, change the strategy of all-out advance and suppression to all-round persistence, first preserve the last vitality, wait and see the changes, and finally look for opportunities to put down the rebellion before it is too late.

    It is a pity that the rational faction among the officials of the mite Qing Dynasty was resolutely refuted by the fanatical and combative faction. They refuted the three major objections of the rational faction one by one.  Shunzhi has a precedent of personal conquests without delaying political affairs. Second, it points out that there are still two naval divisions in Anqing and Ningbo available in Miqing.  Allowing Prince Zhang to come and go in and out of the bandit army's hinterland at will, it's like entering no one's land!

    It can be seen from this that the real strength of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty is actually still higher than that of the Fatty Army, but it has not been used well by the generals before. Kang Mazi's personal conquest will definitely boost the morale of the Qing army and inspire the soldiers. It will be at the end of the battle  Lu Yifeng's bandit army was defeated in one fell swoop, and regained the wealth center in the south of the Yangtze River!

    In addition, the fanatics of Mite Qing also threw out a trump card, that is, the letter written by Fatty Lu that Mite Qing's important minister Mingzhu risked his life for.  A major problem has already occurred, and it is urgent to stop the war to buy time. If the attack is stopped at this time, this rebel will surely win another chance to breathe. If he wants to solve the Jiangnan problem in the future, he will have to pay a higher price!

    There are even more vicious ones, and took out the passage from Fatty Lu's letter, that is, "Many friends of the Great Zhou will support Mingzhu in the open and in the dark, and persuade Kang Mazi to stop attacking Jiangnan", accusing the Qing court of  The intellectual faction has ulterior motives, and it is worth investigating their motives for opposing Kang Mazi's personal conquest!  The rationalists in the Qing court were silenced, for fear that their attitude would be too violent, and they would be charged with beheading as a "friend of the Great Zhou"!

    Seeing that the fanatical war faction is gradually gaining the upper hand, Tu Hai, who was specially summoned to discuss state affairs, was inevitably anxious. Fortunately, Zhou Peigong, who was also specially called to court, was standing next to him with the same title of Minister of the Ministry of War  , so Tuhai hurriedly pulled Zhou Peigong's sleeve quietly, and said in a low voice: "p;"The old thief Wu Sangui is definitely planning to do two things. First, use a high-ranking official, Houlu, to stop Lu Yifeng's dog thief's mouth, seize the righteous name, let Lu Yifeng's dog thief rebel without a name, and try to solve the hidden dangers in the south of the Yangtze River without a single soldier.  If it really doesn't work, it's much easier to do it, Lu Yifeng's bastard has already been made king by Wu Sangui, and if he wants to meet Wu Sangui's swordsman, he has no confidence, and the soldiers under his command will not listen to him."

    There is also a fanatical main battle faction who shouted: "Master, there is no longer any delay. We must seize the opportunity to regain the important land in the south of the Yangtze River before Wu's rebel army and Lu Yifeng's dog thief join forces! Otherwise, Wu  Once the rebel army joins forces, not only will it be hopeless to retake Jiangnan, but the Wu rebel army, which has enough soldiers and provisions, will immediately launch the Northern Expedition!"

    "Enough!" Kang Mazi shut up all the ministers again with the case of the fake dragon, stood up and shouted sharply: "I have made up my mind, and after seven days, I will personally go to the south of the Yangtze River with the army to fight to the death with Lu Yifeng's dog thief!  Cut off the wings and arms of the old thief Wu Sangui first, and then concentrate on dealing with the old thief Wu Sangui! If there is any objection, cut it immediately!"

    "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" All the ministers kowtowed, Zhou Peigong and Tu Hai also frown deeply, knowing that this time there is absolutely no hope of persuading Kang Mazi to change his mind, the only hope of the Qing court is to go all out  Recaptured Jiangnan, using Jiangnan's money and food to fight against the economically incompetent old traitor Wu.

    "Then pass on the decree to Tong Guogang, ordering him to defend Tongguan with all his strength. If he is locked up, everyone will die! If the old thief Wu Sangui breaks through Tongguan, he won't have to come back!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    To be precise, it wasn't Kang Mazi who was scared the most. After the news that the old traitor Wu was in good condition and returned to the school to perform martial arts in Nanjing, Fatty Lu, who was eating, was so frightened that his rice bowl and chopsticks fell on the table.  He quickly called Zhu Fangdan and asked him about the specific situation of the famous doctor Wu Quanbin.  And when Zhu Fangdan introduced that Wu Quanbin is indeed a rare and good doctor, Fatty Lu's little face immediately turned into a dead person's color, and he cursed: "God, you are unfair to me!"  I don't mention it.

    In fact, Fatty Lu and Kang Mazi still underestimated the old traitor Wu. When their spies were still delivering the news that the old traitor Wu was in good condition, the old traitor Wu, who had already proclaimed himself emperor, issued two letters of credence.  , one to Kang Mazi, asking Kang Mazi to hand over all the land south of the Yellow River in exchange for an armistice.  The other one was for Geng Jingzhong, who severely reprimanded Geng Jingzhong's emissary for his rude behavior towards his grandson-in-law Lu Yifeng, and demanded extremely arrogantly that Geng Jingzhong behead the emissary Huang Kun, and dedicate his head to Fatty Lu as an apology!  Otherwise, just wait for the Zhou army and Zheng Jing to join forces to attack from all directions!

    In addition, the old traitor Wu issued another edict to Shaanxi and Gansu, conferring Wang Fuchen the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, in charge of suppressing the remaining Qing troops in Gansu, and conferring Wang Pingfan the governor of Shanxi, who will sit in Xi'an and preside over the attack on Tongguan and Shanxi.  The old traitor Wu himself moved to the south, preparing to gather troops in Huguang and Pianyuan, personally launch the Eastern Expedition, and open up land contact with his grandson-in-law Yuejun Wang Lu Yifeng!

 Chapter 353

    ?

    Almost arbitrarily finalizing the personal expedition to the south of the Yangtze River, Kang Mazi and the Qing court began to work together. The first thing was to decide on the candidates for the expedition and those who would stay behind.

    However, the situation has reached this point. In terms of choosing the generals to go to the battle, Kang Mazi really has not many cards to play, and he cannot mobilize the Shengjing General Wonei Batulu and Ningguta General Bahai to join the battle outside the customs.  Kang Mazi could only be the tallest among the dwarfs, so he chose Aixinjueluo Danzhen, the grandson of Hauge, and Prince Aixinjueluo Boguoduo, the grandson of Zhuangjing, the grandson of Huang Taiji, to serve as the leader of Kang Mazi.  The deputy also sneaked out Labu who lost Jingzhou from the clan mansion, and Cai Yurong who lost Hanyang from the sky prison, and let these two unlucky people assist Dan Zhen and Bo Guoduo.  In addition, a bunch of beile shellfish and bodyguard assistant leaders were randomly selected from the capital and Liaodong as generals, and Zhou Peigong was the military counselor to form Kang Mazi's expedition team.

    By the way, Dai Zi was also personally named by Kang Mazi to go out with the army, so that after the Qing army captured Nanjing and took over the Xuanwu Lake Arsenal, they could immediately produce new firearms for the Qing army, use these new weapons to quell other rebellions, and then send Dai Zi  Get rid of this dangerous Han Chinese¡ªthis is a good thing that Kang Mazi has dreamed of for many years.

    In terms of the army, because Yue Le, Leerjin, Jieshu, Niyahan, Laita and other soldiers and horses still have vitality¡ªalthough Kang Mazi didn't know that Fatty Lu deliberately didn't hurt the vitality of these Qing troops  However, Kang Mazi didn't need too many troops this time, so he didn't need to worry about it. He drew a little from the Qianfeng Battalion, Jianrui Battalion, and Fengtai Garrison, and then transferred some Mongolian cavalry from outside the pass, and some temporarily recruited flags from Liaodong.  Ding, together with Kang Mazi's imperial guards and the full-scale personal guard Shanpuying, and finally Zhou Peigong's three thousand elites brought from the Shaanxi-Gansu battlefield, they were put together in a patchwork manner, and their strength exceeded  Twelve thousand, enough to protect Kang Mazi's safety.

    In addition, Kang Mazi also promised the Russian envoy Golaini, agreed to cede Nerchinsk and the territory east of Nerchinsk, and at this price, he borrowed 800 musketeers with their own weapons from Russia.  Led by the Russian generals Tolbuzin and Pudun, they accompanied them on the expedition to counter the powerful firearms of the Fat Man Army.

    In addition, Kang Mazi borrowed a Dutch fleet of eight large three-masted square-sail ironclad ships from the Dutch East India Company on the condition that he promised to "return" Taiwan and donate a large amount of tea and porcelain.  The commander of the navy, Porter, is on his way to Ningbo day and night. He is also preparing to enter the Jiangnan battlefield to cover Kang Mazi's army crossing the river, attacking the waterway hinterland of the fat army, and to counter the soaring strength of the fat man.  Army sailor.

    After finalizing the candidates for the expedition and the composition of the southern expedition army, it was time for the left-behind candidates. At this time, Kang Mazi's cunning and suspicious ugly face was completely exposed.  According to Jueluo Longxi's proposal to supervise the country, he chose his only son, the eldest son Yinti, who was only three years old, and the old witch of Xiaozhuang to jointly supervise the country, and let his confidants Suo'etu, Mi Sihan and Zhang Ying assist,  Stay in the capital to supervise food and pay.  Not only did Longxi not get any power, but even the only two assistant leaders in his hand were taken away by Kang Mazi under the pretext of going south, and he became completely alone, unable to pose any threat to Kang Mazi's throne.

    Immediately afterwards, Kang Mazi became even more busy. First, he ordered the Qin Tianjian to take out a good hexagram for good luck, then fasted, bathed and burned incense, and offered sacrifices to the Temple of Heaven, Taimiao and Taisui God according to the procedure, and then went to the real mausoleum of Shunzhi  She shed tears and prayed silently, begging the father of the dead ghost to protect him and win the flag, wipe out the traitors in the south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, and recast the Qing Dynasty, he was too busy.  The frequent performances and superb acting skills have almost caught up with another actor in Beijing hundreds of years later.

    During this period, in order to solve the problem of collecting money and food from the south, Kang Mazi had to reach out to the officials in Beijing and Prince Baylor, asking them to "happily lose" the food and payment.  Xiaozhuang also had to secretly summon Danzhen, Boguoduo, Tuhai and Zhou Peigong and other generals who went on the expedition, and issued a top-secret decree to them, asking them to supervise Kang Mazi for themselves and prevent Kang Mazi from crossing the Yellow River to go deep into the real dangerous place.  Guo Duo and Tu Hai also knew that the matter was of great importance, and they solemnly vowed to complete the mission assigned by the old witch of Xiaozhuang, and stop Kang Mazi from crossing the river at all costs¡ªeven if they sacrificed their lives for it!

    During this period, Emperor Zhaowu, who had already enthroned as the old traitor of Wu, also delivered the letter of credence to Beijing, vetoing the truce chip that Xiaozhuang had offered before, and proposed a new truce condition, that is, the Qing army should withdraw from the Yellow River.  In the south, the Yellow River was used as the boundary to draw the river, and the population of the people south of the Yellow River was not allowed to move. Every year, the old traitor of Wu had to pay 3 million taels of silver and the old coins of 10,000 war horses.  Only in this way can the old traitor Wu accept the friendly beg of the old witch Xiaozhuang for a truce, otherwise, the two sides will continue to talk with each other.

    The old man Wu is extremely harsh.??Zheng Jing is not a good thing either. If he is really just selfless against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, why didn't he help King Ning Jing ascend the throne?  ah?  !  "

    Speaking of this, Fatty Lu suddenly remembered an important matter, hurriedly slapped the table and shouted: "Erlang, hurry up, clear out all the members of the Tiandihui in my pro-military team, including Fang Shiyu, and put them in the army as juniors  officer!"

    "Including Fang Shiyu?" Xiao Erlang was startled, and hurriedly said: "Master, Fang Shiyu is the best, and he is a fool who doesn't understand the world, why should he be cleaned up?"

    "You pig head?!" Fatty Lu got angry at Xiao Erlang for the first time, slapped the table and shouted: "Fang Shiyu is a member of the Tiandihui, and the Tiandihui is controlled by Zheng Jing. If the prince proclaims himself emperor, he will give up the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming.  Who knows what Zheng Jing's reaction will be? If I don't get rid of these people from my side, will I dare to close my eyes when I sleep?"

    "Understood, I'll do it now, little one." Breaking out in a cold sweat, Xiao Erlang quickly agreed, turned around and went down to make arrangements.

    "Erlang, remember to pick some good soldiers from the army to supplement the master's personal army." Wang Shaobo hurriedly reminded, after Xiao Erlang agreed again, Wang Shaobo turned to Lu Fatty and said: "Boss, the situation is not very good, this time we may have to  Besieged on all sides. The prince gave up the anti-Qing and Fuming banner and proclaimed himself emperor. He also conferred the title of King of Yue County on you. If you don¡¯t accept the decree, the Yungui elders in the team will not accept it. If you accept it, Zheng Jing will have a rift with us again.  It may even tear up the covenant. Coupled with Geng Jingzhong who has publicly turned against us, in this way, we are surrounded by enemies and have no friends."

    "Could it be that the traitor Wu did it on purpose?" Fatty Lu was puzzled, "The old man chose to proclaim himself emperor at this time, and he directly made me king, putting on a posture of using political means to win over me.  I, who is relatively weak, will not only become the target of public criticism and the number one target of Mangou's counterattack, but also lose my only ally, Zheng Jing, the real enemy surrounded on all sides! I have no relatives!"

    "Understood!" At this point in his calculations, Fatty Lu slapped the table again, and wailed, "I finally understand why the lord is so kind to me, why he skipped Xia Guoxiang, Hu Guozhu, Wu Yingjing and Wu Guogui's former cronies, and directly sealed me.  King! He wants to tell the world that he will not turn against me, and will continue to treat me as a grandson-in-law and right-hand man, forcing Man Gou to take the knife on me, the number one accomplice of the prince, and make me lose the support of my allies and fall into  Surrounded by enemies and fighting alone! Use the full dogs to weaken my strength!"

    "There is a possibility!" Wang Shaobo also came to his senses, and said in a low voice: "The lord's move is really clever, forcing Man Gou to encircle us with all his strength. It will not only prevent your boss from continuing to grow in the south of the Yangtze River, but also greatly weaken our army. Let the boss  You don't have any chance to do what he fears the most, and then sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and when we fight Man Gou and lose both, the prince will come out to pick ready-made peaches, and easily take Jiangnan and the whole world!"

    "Really? The prince really intends this?" Zhu Fangdan asked Fatty Lu in surprise.

    "From the point of view of the situation, this should probably be the biggest." Fatty Lu smiled wryly, and then lamented: "The lord's move is really ingenious, it seems that this time, I have to be a free fighter for the lord again.  Hit, I will die, I will do my best, and in the end I have to kowtow to the prince to thank you."

    "I still don't even have the chance to raise a thief to be self-respecting." Wang Shaobo added with a wry smile for Fatty Lu: "This time, even if you don't take the initiative, Master, Man Gou and Geng Jingzhong, the prince's enemies, will pounce on you like mad dogs.  , fought with us in the dark and dark, and both sides were hurt, let the prince reap the benefits. Our prince is really old and slippery to the point of maturity." (To be continued.

 Chapter 354 Layout

    ?

    When Fatty Lu was still extremely depressed about the old traitor of the old traitor Wu, the second wave of the Southern Expedition Army led by Kang Mazi had already left Zhili, Shandong, and entered the territory of Jiangsu.  On the way, a decree was promulgated to make the veterans of the Qing army lose their souls and make the fat army laugh up and down. Prince Zhang Taizhang, the god of war in the Qing Dynasty, was appointed as the general of Dingnan to replace the dead mite Qing veteran Xie Gen in charge of the Qing army in Anqing  , and commanded Leerjin's Tongling Qing army and the Qing army troops from Raozhou, Guangxin and Ningguo, and cooperated with Kang Mazi to attack Fatty Lu!

    "The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty are miserable!" This is the evaluation of the veterans of the Qing army to Kang Mazi and Zhangtai, the combination of the new generation of war gods.

    "Kang Mazi is such a good man. Anqing Mangou and Tongling Mangou are the last elites left over from the Mangou army's great waves over the past few years. I love you so much, Kang Mazi! If you hand over Jieshu's army to Zhang  My lord commands, I love you even more!" This is Fatty Lu's evaluation of Kang Mazi and Zhangtai, the God of War combination of the new generation.

    It was Kang Mazi's anxious state of mind that made Mite Qing's generals even more worried. From Beijing to Xuzhou for more than 1,400 miles, Kang Mazi's 12,000 troops only walked for eight days, although there were canals to transport grain and grass  The reason is that the luggage is more convenient, but every veteran of Mite Qing understands that Kang Mazi is already anxious, and he is still very anxious-it is definitely not a good sign to be so anxious in front of a treacherous enemy like Fatty Lu!

    What made Kang Mazi angry was Fatty Lu's reaction. The mite made a detailed report. In the case of Kang Mazi's personal conquest, Fatty Lu did not immediately organize the main force to go north to die, nor did he go to Yangzhou, the first destination of Kang Mazi's personal conquest.  The government sent an additional soldier, but instead transferred a navy from Yangzhou's reserve team, the Zhenjiang Navy, to Chongming Island in the east. The area controlled by the fat man's army continued to operate as usual, and even held the first Jiangnan scientific expedition in the Great Zhou Dynasty.  The tense atmosphere of the approaching war¡ªisn't Fatty Lu not paying attention to Kang Mazi at all?  !

    On April 24th, the second wave of southern expedition troops led by Kang Mazi arrived at the Xiba camp on the north bank of the Qinghe River, and joined forces with Yue Le's rear army who stayed here. Yue Le, who was stationed in Jieshou, also left his deputy Dong Weiguo to guard  Jieshou camp led some civil and military officers to hurry back to Xiba camp, kowtowed in front of Kang Mazi to plead guilty, and asked Kang Mazi to punish him for his futile crime of laboring teachers and paying wages.

    As soon as he entered the imperial tent and met Kang Mazi, Yue Le immediately knelt down and called himself a criminal minister, and Kang Mazi was also furious, patting the fake dragon case and shouting: "Yue Le, I ask  You, the imperial court of the Qing Dynasty lived with your trousers belted up and down, cut down on food and clothing to provide you with food, grass, and military pay, and let you lead an army of 120,000 to conquer Lu Yifeng's dog thief, take back Jiangnan and reopen water transportation! It has been five months and one day.  , spent hundreds of thousands of shi in military rations and several million taels of military pay, what kind of answer did you give me? Say it yourself!"

    "The servant deserves to die. The servant has not made any achievements so far, but instead lost tens of thousands of troops." Yue Le bit the bullet and answered honestly.

    "It's a shame that you still have the face to answer my question!" Kang Mazi was even more angry. He slapped the pseudo-dragon case and shouted: "Come here, push Yue Le out of the imperial tent and behead him, pass on the head of the three armies, and use the law of the army!"

    "Cover!" Su Lun, Lang Tan and other guards agreed in unison, and stepped forward to hold Yue Le down without saying a word.  Seeing this scene, Dan Zhen, Bo Guoduo, Zhou Peigong, Gao Shiqi and others in the imperial tent hurriedly knelt down together, kowtowed and said: "Master, calm down, please forgive me outside the law, and give Prince An another chance."

    "Give me one more chance? How many more chances will I give him?" Kang Mazi's face was ashen, and he shouted, "Who dares to say that I didn't give him a chance? In order to provide him with military pay and food, I borrowed a full amount from the people."  Eighteen million taels of silver has raised the price of grain in the Shandong area of ??Zhili by more than five times, but how can he repay me? It¡¯s been five months and a day, and I can¡¯t even capture a city of Gaoyou!¡±

    "Master, Lord An is indeed guilty of a serious crime, and he should be punished." Hauge's grandson, Mrs. Dan Zhen, kowtowed and played: "But the traitor Lu Yifeng has not been broken at the moment, and the master's personal conquest is just the time for employing people, and Lord An knows well.  The military situation, changing commanders just before the battle, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for the master to command, since ancient times, it is better to use it than to use it, so I ask the master to give Prince An another chance to make him take the blame and make meritorious deeds."

    "Yes, master." Zhou Peigong also persuaded: "The empress dowager's ancestors have a decree that the master can't cross the Yellow River to go to the battlefield in person. If the master wants to break through the south of the Yangtze River to capture Lu Yifeng's dog thief, he must have a veteran like Prince An who knows the military situation well."  I will command in front of the battle, I hope the master will think twice and forgive Prince An for the time being."

    "The old ancestor doesn't allow the master to cross the Yellow River?" Hearing Zhou Peigong's words, Yue Le's heart jumped, and a heart that had already reached his throat was finally put back in his stomach, and he said secretly: "The old ancestor is wise, as long as  If the master is sent to death by the Yellow River, we will still have hope in the Qing Dynasty."

    ?Sued you?  With him alone, can he contain Lu Yifeng's two bandits?  The few armies under his command are the last elite of our Qing Dynasty. If the last elite are lost, our Qing Dynasty will definitely be over!  "

    "Please don't worry, my lord, and please rest assured, my benefactor. Students are sure that Lord Zhang will be able to restrain the main force of Wu Gou's two corps without paying a heavy price." Zhou Peigong replied with a smile: "Please don't forget, Zhang  What is behind the prince is Wu Yingqi, Hu Guozhu and Xia Guoxiang! If Lu Yifeng's dog thief kills Prince Zhang, wouldn't Wu Gou be able to enter the south of the Yangtze River immediately? So Lu Yifeng's dog thief will never annihilate us  The troops on the western front will only take a defensive position and deplete the soldiers and horses under Lord Zhang!"

    "Fart! The old thief Wu Sangui has crowned Lu Yifeng's thief king, and he made it clear that he wants Lu Yifeng's thief to continue to be a thug. Will Lu Yifeng's thief be afraid of joining forces with him?" Tu Hai shouted angrily.

    "If Enxiang really thinks so, then Enxiang is too underestimating the old thief Wu Sangui and the dog thief Lu Yifeng." Zhou Peigong sneered and said: "The wolfish ambition of Lu Yifeng's dog thief to try to get rid of the control of the old thief Wu Sangui has long been obvious.  How does the old thief Wu Sangui win over him, and he can really rest assured that he is really not afraid of the old thief Wu Sangui settling accounts after the autumn, and the rabbit will die? So for Lu Yifeng's thief, killing Prince Zhang may be the most correct tactical choice  , but it is the most stupid strategic choice! With his ability, he will not fail to weigh the consequences!"

    "Well, even if what you said makes sense." Yue Le whispered: "Then what do you mean by asking me and Jie Shu to attack Yangzhou together? It's not like you don't know the virtues of my army.  Is it possible to capture and destroy the Wugou Yangzhou Corps?"

    "Of course it's impossible." Zhou Peigong replied in a deep voice: "Let's not say that it is difficult for us to break through Yangzhou. Even if Lord Kang and Lord An meet in Yangzhou, you may be afraid. Lu Yifeng is not a fool.  You can immediately guess that Lord Kang is going to attack Yangzhou. In order to relieve the pressure on Yangzhou, he is likely to send troops to block it. But there is another possibility, that is, Lu Yifeng's dog thief deliberately indulged Lord Kang to send his troops to the west in order to lure his master to cross the river.  Advance, increase our strength on the northern front, let the master see the hope of victory, and can't wait to cross the Yellow River to Yangzhou to personally command the siege."

    "In this case, why did you propose to attack Yangzhou? What is your purpose?" Tuhai asked again.

    "Of course the purpose is to get rid of Lu Yifeng's thief and take back Jiangnan for my master." Zhou Peigong said in a dark tone: "Just like Enxiang and Prince An said, if our Qing army wants to get rid of Lu Yifeng's thief, in fact, we have to do it.  The only hope left is to use Gaojiayan. So I have to set up a plan for the dog thief Lu Yifeng first, so that he can neither send troops to the west nor use force to the south. He can only choose to go north to resolve the crisis.  Lure the enemy to go deep, lure Lu Yifeng's dog thief to the Gaojia Weir, blow up the dam, and destroy this dog thief!"

    "Stop dreaming!" Yue Le said angrily: "Lu Yifeng's thief is a hundred times more cunning than you. He has already seen through the dangers of Gaojiayan. How can he be fooled?"

    "The key is whether the bait is enough or not." Mr. Zhou Pei said with a sly smile: "Enxiang and the prince, please think about it. With Lu Yifeng's madness as a dog thief and his pathological hatred for our Qing Dynasty Eight Banners, if he sees the master personally going to Yangzhou to supervise the war  , can you kill with red eyes?"

    "Are you crazy?!" Yue Le and Tu Hai exclaimed in shock at the same time, "You want Master to take such a risk?"

    "My lord, Enxiang, don't worry, the servant hasn't finished yet." Zhou Peigong smiled, and whispered to Tu Hai and Yue Le's ears

    "This, logically speaking, should have a chance of success." After hearing Zhou Peigong's poisonous plot, Tu Hai hesitated, and said: "If we do this, we can also fulfill the entrustment of our ancestors, but"

    "Please don't worry, Enxiang, the master can weigh the seriousness of the matter." Zhou Peigong said with a smile: "So we can act with confidence and move first, so that the master can see the true power of Wugou's army, calm down the crazy thoughts in his mind,  Let the master be able to listen to our harsh advice. It also puts Lu Yifeng in a dilemma. If you fight west, you will be fooled, and if you fight south, the distance is too far.  , the soul of Lu Yifeng's dog thief has to fly too."

    In fact, there is no need for Zhou Peigong's layout. At the same time, in the city of Nanjing, Fatty Lu was already caught in a dilemma, especially after receiving the news that Kang Mazi Luanjia had arrived in Xiba, he knew that the Qing troops from all walks of life would definitely be there soon.  Fatty Lu, who made a big move, was almost on the verge of collapse.

    "Damn it! How are we going to fight this battle? Kill Kang Mazi hard, old traitor Wu is reaping the benefits! Don't hit hard, just beat him away, missed this opportunity to kill Kang Mazi, the legacy of raising a tiger,  If you want to seize such an opportunity in the future, I am afraid it will not be so easy!"

 Chapter 355 Fatty's Righteousness

    ?

    (ps: There are only a few hours left for the double monthly pass, please friends to vote enthusiastically. Let me say something thick - the rewarded monthly pass is also counted.)

    ? In the signing room of the former Governor of Qing Liangjiang in Nanjing, Fatty Lu sat on the desk, propped his elbows on the table, and rested his forehead with both hands. The extremely rare blank expression on his fat face, and the worried blank expression lingered for a long time.  And on the desk in front of Fatty Lu, there are messy piles of military intelligence reports from various places sent by Fatty's army secret agents in the past few days through various channels, including Wu Jun's, Zheng Jun's, Geng Jun's, and overseas reports.  Of all the monks who believed in it, the most were naturally from the Qing army.

    It is also unavoidable for the resourceful Fatty Lu not to be frowning or helpless. Under the agitation of the wings of Fatty Lu, the big demon moth, the trend of the San Francisco Rebellion has indeed undergone drastic changes compared with history.  It was the Qing Dynasty court and the mite parasites that were pushed to the point of desperation, and it was only one step away from the complete overthrow of the brutal rule of the mite Qing and the complete eradication of the mite parasites by all ethnic groups in China.  But in this way, the huge advantage of Fatty Lu's foresight about the direction of history has also disappeared unconsciously. Not only does he have no idea what the enemy will do next, he even has no idea what he should do next  !

    The intelligence collected by the spies and spies of the Fatty Army shows that: in the first year of Zhaowu and April 24th in the fourteenth year of Kang Mazi, the second wave of troops led by Kang Mazi arrived at the Xiba Ferry on the north bank of the Qinghe River and immediately summoned them.  Yue Le, the coach of the first wave of the Southern Expedition Army, did not know the details when they met.  On the same day, Yue Le returned to the Jieshou camp overnight. The next day, the Jieshou Qing army set up camp and marched southward in two groups. One was led by Yue Le's deputy Dong Weiguo to attack Xinghua, and the other was led by Yue Le himself to attack Gaoyou.

    On April 26th, Dong Weiguo's army of 20,000 men approached Xinghua City. Chen Ming, the Xinghua defender of the Fatty Army, abandoned Xinghua City, which had no value in defending, according to the original plan, and retreated to Gaoyou via the Xinghua Canal.  The area was ambushed by the Qing army. The Qing army first blocked the relatively narrow Xinghua Canal by throwing rocks and filling it with sand, and then bombarded Chen Ming's fleet with bows, arrows, muskets and artillery. Chen Ming, who had less than 3,000 troops,  Unable to resist the enemy, they were forced to retreat to Taizhou through the Pujiang River. The wishful thinking of the fat man's army to join forces to hold on to Gaoyou City fell through, and Gaoyou City was completely isolated.

    On the same day, Dong Weiguo entered Xinghua County. Although the Fat Man Army had already mobilized the people of Xinghua to retreat to Yangzhou as much as possible, most of the people did not evacuate due to the thought that the Chinese people could not leave their homeland.  In the city, all the family members of the soldiers of the Fat Man Army were slaughtered, including the boatmen and migrant workers who transported food and supplies for the Fat Man Army.  He was gang-raped to death by the Qing army, and none of the Xinghua yamen servants who had worked for the Fatty Army were spared and all were massacred.

    On April 27th, the Fatty Army made a spy report, and Geng Jingzhong's envoy arrived at Yancheng, Huai'an by sea, and was immediately sent to the Xiba camp of the Qing army by the local officials of the Qing Dynasty.  On the same day, the Qing army stormed Gaoyou City. Gao Dejie asked for instructions whether to give up or reinforce?

    On April 28th, when the Qing army stormed Gaoyou City, it changed the previous strategy of countering the rebellion, which strictly restrained military discipline, and broke up the Mongolian cavalry into pieces.  Hair and braids, killing the family members of soldiers of the fat army, rape and looting, all kinds of crimes, and deliberately destroying farmland and water conservancy facilities.  The Yangzhou Corps of the Fat Man Army was in turmoil and had a strong desire to take the initiative to attack.

    ? On April 29, Geng Jingzhong sent a letter to Fatty Lu, strongly condemning Fatty Lu for making a fuss out of a molehill, which led to the breakdown of the Wu-Geng alliance, and publicly declared war on Fatty's army.

    On the first day of May, an envoy from Liu Guoxuan sent a letter from Zheng Jing, in which he strongly condemned the traitor Wu's act of usurping the emperor, and bewitched Fatty Lu to refuse to accept all the official titles bestowed by the traitor Wu, and continued to play the banner of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty.  He also suggested that Fatty Lu proclaim himself the general of Xingming to fight against the rebellion, and take the descendants of Zhu Ming as the main, and join forces with Zheng Jing to conquer the Qing army and the rebel Wu old traitor.

    On the same day, Liu Guoxuan sent a letter to Fatty Lu in his personal capacity, warning Fatty Lu that the warship of the Red-Mao Kingdom had arrived in Ningbo and joined forces with General Beizi Fu Lata, General of Ninghai, and suggested that Fatty Lu strengthen the defenses in Songjiang, Chongming and Taicang, and informed  Fatty Lu, if Zheng Jing ordered to end the covenant relationship with the Da Zhou army, he can only follow the order.

    At the beginning of May, the local officials of the Fatty Army reported one after another. Under the deliberate dissemination of the secret work of the Qing Army, Tiandihui and Geng Jun, the news that the old traitor Wu had proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an gradually spread among the people in the south of the Yangtze River, and the anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty thoughts were the most active.  The hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River began to turmoil. The old and young of the former Ming Dynasty jointly wrote a letter, asking Fatty Lu to come forward to refute the rumors, asking whether Fatty Lu planned to continue to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?  Or give up the banner of the former Ming Dynasty, and resolutely support the traitor Wu old man to proclaim himself emperor?  Fatty Lu had a hard time, and internal problems in the Fatty Army gradually surfaced.

    On the fourth day of May, scouts report,?? can't tolerate you either!  "

    "It doesn't matter!" Fatty Lu waved his hand and roared angrily, "Go to hell! Go to hell! Back then, I was willing to give up the glory and wealth of the imperial court and follow the prince to fight against the Qing Dynasty.  What is it for? Isn¡¯t it for the Chinese nation not to be poisoned by Manchurian dogs?! Isn¡¯t it for the fact that a few hundred years later, dog traitors like Zhou Peigong and Manchurian dogs will show off their power in TV and movies?! It¡¯s not for hundreds of years later, our Chinese  Don¡¯t people be bullied and bullied by foreigners?! Isn¡¯t it because after a few hundred years, Manchu will still worship at the Temple of Heaven, hold a ceremony to enter the customs in Shenyang, and still shout about the independence of Manchuria, and the restoration of Manchuria?!¡±

    "Now, I'm only one step away, and I'm only one step away from reaching my previous ultimate goal. Why don't I go? Yes, at this time, I won the Jiangnan battlefield and lost the national battlefield, but I was able to win  Dayi, to win the future of China! The great thing is to accompany me with my life, and exchange my life for the complete destruction of the dog, and for the long-term peace and stability of the Chinese nation, I am worth it¡ª¡ª!"

    When he roared hysterically, Fatty Lu slapped the table again, and shouted: "Give me the general's order, prepare white clothes and armor quickly, and the three armies will be filial piety!"

    "General, who are we paying tribute to?" Yao Qisheng asked timidly.

    "Of course it's for the Han people, for the Han people who were slaughtered by the Man Gou when they entered the customs decades ago! And for all the people of all ethnic groups in China who were slaughtered by the Man Gou!" Lu Fatty shouted: "I've got the point  Lead this vengeful master to go out in filial piety, killing all the dogs in the world! Killing all the traitors in the world! Cut Kangxi dog pockmarks alive¡ª¡ª!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 356

    ?

    After figuring out where to go next, Fatty Lu, who had been frowning for a long time, seemed to have lifted a heavy burden, and every piece of fat in his body felt much lighter. He ordered to buy white clothes and armor quickly to make the fat man's army soldiers die.  After his compatriots mourned, Fatty Lu immediately began to discuss and arrange the next step.

    "Master Yao, Shaobo, Brother Xie, Doctor Zhu, you can also rest assured." Before starting, Fatty Lu gave Yao Qisheng and Wang Shaobo and other confidantes a reassurance, "With your talents and abilities, after the prince ruled the world, you can rest assured."  , even if I fall from power, I will not implicate you at that time, you can use what I did in Jiangnan to exchange for glory and wealth, high officials and rich salary, I will not only not blame you, but also cooperate with you."

    "General! Master! Three good brothers!" The lackeys panicked, knelt down together, and said in unison: "General, you must not say that, I am waiting for you.  How can we bear to do such ungrateful things?"

    "Get up, get up." Fatty Lu picked up the lackeys one by one, and said with a smile: "I will give you an explanation in advance, so that you can rest assured that in the future, no matter if I end up like Han Xin or like me  As a rich man like Shi Shouxin, he will never implicate you, so just rest assured, and work together with me to kill Kang Mazi, the emperor of the dog, and help the prince lay the foundation of the world in one fell swoop, expel the Tartars, and restore China."

    Fatty Lu has talked to this point, whether it is sincere or false, Yao Qisheng, Wang Shaobo and others can't express their emotions without shedding tears. They kowtow and cry in front of Fatty Lu, swearing to the sky  He wanted to live and die with Fatty Lu, and was determined not to do the shameless thing of betraying Fatty Lu, so he tossed and tossed for a long time, until Fatty Lu repeatedly persuaded him to stop.

    "Let's talk about it." After being reassured, Fatty Lu turned to the topic and asked, "What should we do next? How can we achieve the tactical goal of capturing the thief first and killing the Kangxi dog in one fell swoop?"

    "Students think that to capture the thief first capture the king and kill the Emperor Mangou. It is simple and easy to say, but it is also a bit difficult to say." Yao Qisheng wiped away his tears and said: "Emperor Mangou said it was a personal conquest by the imperial driver, but in fact he went to the Xiba Camp in Qinghe  So he stood still and stopped crossing the Yellow River south. There are two reasons. One is that Emperor Mangou was too timid to cross the river to go to the front line in person. The other is that Emperor Mangou planned to use himself as a bait to lure the main force of our army to go north.  Attacking Huai'an and Qinghe, and crossing the river to attack his Xiba camp, he took the opportunity to blow up the Gaojiayan and flooded the main force of our army. Therefore, the students believe that if our army wants to capture the thief and capture the king first, we must first lure  Emperor Mangou crossed the river and fought a decisive battle south of the Yellow River, so that our army can be sure of winning and avoid the danger of Gaojiayan."

    "Master Yao is justified." Wang Shaobo echoed: "The students also think that our army must first lure Emperor Mangou to cross the river and let him lead the main force of Mangou's northern line to Gaoyou and Yangzhou for a decisive battle.  Explode Gaojiayan first, flood the army with dogs, and cut off the retreat and food roads of the dogs, so that our army can be sure of victory."

    "However, there are smart people on the Mangou side, and they will not be afraid of us doing such a trick." Xie Dong reminded: "So we want to lure the Mangou Emperor across the Yellow River, I am afraid it will not be so easy."

    "General, why don't we give up Gaoyou City." Yao Qisheng suggested: "Let the Gaoyou defenders retreat to Yangzhou by water, and lure Mangou's main force from the northern line to approach the city of Yangzhou, so that Emperor Mangou can see the plan to break through Yangzhou."  Hope, lure him across the river and go down."

    Fatty Lu was silent, and after calculating for a long time on the map and sand table in the north of Jiangsu, Fatty Lu suddenly said: "Mr. Yao, Shaobo, I think you are wrong this time. Emperor Mangou didn't cross the river and went down the river. He should have visited the frontline battlefield in person."  Not the two reasons you analyzed."

    "Why?" Yao Qisheng asked in surprise.

    "First, I understand Kangxi Gou Mazi's temper. He is simply the most arrogant and shameless person in the world. He always thinks that he is better than anyone else, and he has both martial arts and martial arts. He is timid and afraid of fighting. I am the first.  I don¡¯t believe it.¡± Fatty Lu analyzed with his fat fingers: ¡°Secondly, for Emperor Mangou, blowing up Gaojiayan and flooding our army can only achieve a partial victory, but it will cause the collapse of Emperor Mangou¡¯s national situation.  , because once Gaojiayan is destroyed, not only will Huai¡¯an, an important grain-producing area, be lost, but the canal from Baoying to Qinghe will also be completely finished. In this way, even if Emperor Mangou takes back Jiangnan, the water transportation in Jiangnan will not be able to reopen  However, the silver and grain from the south of the Yangtze River still cannot be transported to the north, which is extremely detrimental to the national battlefield of Mangou."

    "So I think that Emperor Mangou may not be planning to attack Gaojiayan, at least he has not thought about blasting Gaojiayan now. The reason why he didn't cross the river down the river may be due to other reasons.Fatty Lu patted the back of Wang Shaobo's hand and said with a smile: "I know Han Daren's behavior. He is extremely selfish. No matter how great the prince promises him, he is not sure that he will get it. He feels that the gain is not worth the loss. He will naturally weigh the importance of the matter."  .Besides, this time I am going west, I will bring our most elite team, even if there is any accident, I can take precautions."

    "It's better to be careful." Wang Shaobo shook his head with a sigh, and said sullenly: "At first, the student suggested that you lure Han Daren back to Nanjing to take him down, but the boss just didn't listen, and you insisted on convincing him with virtue."

    "Isn't it because I'm afraid of affecting the morale of the army, what will the old man in the Pingxi palace think in our team when Han Daren is suddenly taken down without evidence?" Fatty Lu smiled wryly, and then said, "Okay, I appreciate Shao Bo's kindness."  , I will be careful, before I cut Kangxi Gou Mazi alive, I still don't want to die."

    Fatty Lu seems to be a little more optimistic about Han Daren's internal hidden danger. When the news that Fatty Lu personally led the army to the west arrived in Taipingfu City, Han Daren, the commander of the Fatty Army's Taipingfu Army with ghosts in mind, was unavoidably a little terrified.  The news leaked out, Fatty Lu did not have any good intentions here, and he was inevitably extremely nervous and hesitant, "What should I do? The errand assigned by the prince, should I execute it or not?"

 Chapter 357 Han Daren bombards the fat army

    ?

    Because the baggage fleet carried 150 pieces of light and heavy artillery and a large amount of supporting ammunition, it was going upstream against the river. In order to prevent the army from being out of touch with the progress of the baggage fleet, and it was necessary to investigate the enemy's situation on the western front in order to formulate  Combat strategy, so the main force of Lu Fatty's western expedition was not very fast. It took Lu Fatty almost three days to walk for more than 140 miles from Nanjing to Taiping Mansion.  And these three days, for Han Daren, the fat general of the army with evil intentions, is equivalent to three years.

    There are too many facts that make Han Daren fearful. From Han Daren's strategic perspective, when the Fatty Army is surrounded by enemies and has determined the Western Front as the first goal, the most correct tactic should be a quick battle.  He quickly dealt with the enemies on the western front and freed up his hands to calmly deal with the enemies on the other three fronts. However, Fatty Lu, who had a strategic vision far above his own, did the opposite.  Taking the army on an outing, is there a strategic and tactical plan?  Is it an old horse stumbled?  Or because of other reasons?

    Another thing that frightened Han Daren was that Fatty Lu sent his only brother Han Yuanren to Liuhe Port in Taicang Prefecture on the pretext that the coastal areas needed to strengthen defenses.  According to the warning of collusion with the United States, the Jiangnan coast, which is relatively empty in defense, should indeed increase its defense, but who is not good for Fatty Lu to send Han Yuanren to a relatively distant coast? Is it a coincidence?  Or is there another purpose?

    Feeling guilty, timid and frightened, Han Daren has not had a good night's sleep since he received the news that Fatty Lu personally led the army to the west. Almost every time he closes his eyes, he is quickly awakened by a nightmare, not a dream  Fatty Lu exposed his plot and tried to get rid of himself first. He dreamed that he was forced to follow orders and was hacked to death by wolves and tigers under Fatty Lu. He was so nervous that he almost collapsed.  But Han Daren, who is so popular, is so pitiful that he can't even find a person to confide in. All the tension, hesitation and worry can only be carried by himself. In just three days, dozens of hairs have turned white.  .

    It was time to come and finally it was coming. On May 12th, the elite Fatty Army led by Fatty Lu finally arrived at the city of Taipingfu.  After hesitating again and again, Han Daren finally led the prefect Jixuan and his deputy Li Maozhu out of the city to welcome them. However, after arriving at the scene, something that made Han Daren even more frightened happened¡ª¡ªthe direct corps of the Fatty Army was already in the outskirts of Taiping Mansion  Camps began to be set up on the school grounds, assuming that they did not plan to enter the city to station!

    "Why did the general camp outside the city? Could it be that he doesn't trust me to this extent?" Han Daren's heart almost stopped beating, and he almost wanted to run away.

    "General Han, look!" Li Mao's exclamation pulled Han Daren back, "White clothes, white robes and white flags! The brothers in Nanjing are wearing mourning! The general is wearing mourning!"

    "Really!" Jixuan also noticed this anomaly, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Why did the general go to war in filial piety? What happened?"

    "Really, why does our army go out in filial piety?" Han Daren took a closer look and found that this was indeed the case. The fat army from Nanjing was all dressed in white clothes and white robes, with pure white flags in their hands.  A white belt was hung on the gate of Lianyuan, but Fatty Army used to respect white, wearing a white felt hat and a black flag on a white background, so he didn't notice it from a distance just now.

    "Could it be the prince?!" Li Maozhu suddenly exclaimed again: "Could it be that the prince is an old man?!"

    "It's possible!" Han Daren suddenly had a ray of hope, and said in his heart that if the prince really died, then everything would be easy!  Thinking of this, Han Daren quickly clamped his horse and shouted: "Quick, go to the camp to meet the general, and ask what's going on! Quick! Quick!"

    Of course, Han Daren and others misunderstood the true meaning of Fatty Army's filial piety, and Fatty Lu didn't need to explain it himself. As soon as they arrived in front of Fatty Army's central army camp, Han Daren and others realized that something was wrong, because Fatty Army  There are two large white flags in the big tent of the Chinese army, with the four characters of revenge and hatred written on them.  After entering the big tent of the Chinese army and seeing the spirit tablets of the Chinese compatriots enshrined in the big tent, Han Daren, who is not too stupid, immediately understood the true meaning of Fatty Lu's filial piety, and secretly admired Fatty Lu's ingenuity in inspiring the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers and people in the south of the Yangtze River  In addition to the means, Han Daren was completely desperate again¡ªsince the old traitor Wu is not dead, will he carry out the errand he gave or not?

    "Everyone, please sit down, please sit down." Fatty Lu, dressed in filial piety, waved and asked Han Daren and others to sit down on both sides of the big tent, explaining that he did not want to because Taiping City was too small and had too many troops.  He planned to enter the city to be stationed, and he personally explained the true meaning of the filial piety campaign, that is, to pay filial piety for the people in the south of the Yangtze River and the Chinese compatriots who were slaughtered by Mi Qing thirty years ago.  Waiting for someone, saying that he has brought the army to Taiping MansionWhen he got up, Xiao Erlang was so frightened that Xiao Erlang who was behind Fatty Lu hurriedly drew his knife, but Fatty Lu quickly held Xiao Erlang's hand, smiled at Han Daren and said, "Brother Daren, don't panic, there are really no ambushes here.  That is, just ask casually, without any other malicious intentions."

    "General, you, what are you talking about, why can't you understand?" Han Daren asked tremblingly.

    "Brother Da Ren, you can't hide it from me. In fact, I already guessed it from the moment the prince arranged you to be my deputy." Fatty Lu sighed, and said quietly: "But I don't blame you, let alone  Blame you, this is also human nature, Brother Ren, if you want to make progress, the prince must prevent me from rebelling, so naturally you have to arrange an eyeliner by my side. You are not the first, Kong Fanlin and Luo Kedi before, and later  Chen Dou, they are all the same as you, but after they came to me, they became brothers with me and wore a pair of pants, so the prince had no choice but to arrange you who were very hostile to me at my side."

    Han Daren stopped talking, but lowered his head in shame.  Fatty Lu smiled again and said: "Brother Da Ren, you don't need to feel guilty. You did nothing wrong. We were able to take Jiangnan, and you also contributed a lot, so I never thought of getting rid of you. Instead, I also took the west gate of Jiangnan  Entrusted to you."

    Han Daren peeked at Fatty Lu, his lips trembled a few times, but he still didn't speak.

    "Brother Ren, can I ask you something?" Fatty Lu suddenly asked in a low voice.

    "Please tell me, General." Han Daren quickly replied.

    "Brother Ren, no matter whether the prince wants you to kill me or arrest me, please give me some more time." Fatty Lu said very sincerely: "The Emperor Mangou has personally conquered the south of the Yangtze River.  Internal strife will only lead to the collapse of the army's morale, and the Emperor Mangou will be cheap for nothing. Therefore, I hope you can give me some time to finish this decisive battle in the south of the Yangtze River, use this golden opportunity to get rid of Emperor Mangou, and then  Can you catch me again? I can assure you that I will not resist when the time comes, and will just obediently catch me with my hands."

    "General, are you joking?" Han Daren was so nervous that he couldn't believe his ears.

    "I'm definitely not joking. On the contrary, I'm very serious." Fatty Lu said with firm eyes, "Since I came to this world, my biggest wish is to expel the Tartars, kill all the dogs, and restore China to China."  Jiangshan! This is also the fundamental reason why I am willing to give up my dog-filled glory and wealth, tie my head on my trouser belt, and accompany the prince to fight against the Qing Dynasty."

    "Now, I'm only one step away, and I'm only one step away from succeeding and fulfilling my life's wish, but at this time, my lord Sigh, I don't blame my lord, because you can see it too  , Over the past year or so, I have done a lot of things that I have done wrong to the lord in Jiangnan. I can understand what the lord wants to get rid of me. I also don't blame you, because the lord is not only your coach,  It's your uncle again, not to mention that he must have secretly promised countless benefits to you, even if he doesn't give you any benefits, even if he orders you like this, you have to carry it out."

    Speaking of this, Fatty Lu paused, closed his mung bean eyes, and said in a deeper voice: "Originally, I also have a chance and a way to get rid of you, for example, tricking you back to Nanjing, or ambush you here today."  hand, but I don't intend to do this. Because I believe that you will understand my painstaking efforts, understand my pursuit, and for the sake of the world's suffering, give me some time to finish this decisive battle in the south of the Yangtze River.  Then you arrest me and dedicate it to the prince. In this way, I have fulfilled my life's wish, and you have also fulfilled the prince's entrustment, the best of both worlds."

    "Brother Dajie, for the sake of the Han compatriots who have been abused by dogs for decades, can you agree to my request?"

    After asking this sentence, Fatty Lu opened his eyes, staring at Han Daren with piercing eyes, waiting for Han Daren's answer.  Under Fatty Lu's sincere gaze, Han Daren's face was hot and red at first, and then he recalled Fatty Lu's earnest teaching to him in Jiujiang, and he was as close as a brother to him in Jiangnan, so ashamed,  In the end, he knelt down to Fatty Lu with a plop, and took out a long-preserved warrant from his bosom, crying loudly, tearing the warrant into pieces, and crying loudly:

    "General, what are you talking about? The general doesn't understand, the general doesn't understand! The general has never obtained any secret orders from the prince! The general only remembers that the general is the deputy sent by the prince to accompany you.  The deputy who accompanied you to kill all the dogs, accompanied you to expel the Tartars, and accompanied you to restore China! Other than that, the last general doesn¡¯t know anything! I don¡¯t know!¡±

 Chapter 358

    ?

    After some serious measurements and on-the-spot investigations, Han Daren, who is quite proficient in using firearms, suggested that Yue Le follow the example of Duoduo and use the west gate of Yangzhou as a breakthrough point to transport the sixty-three long-range red barbarian cannons of the Qing army to the west gate of Yangzhou.  Prepare to concentrate firepower on the city wall of the West Gate of Yangzhou¡ªThirty years ago, Duoduo blasted down many sections of the Yangzhou city wall at this location, allowing the soldiers of the Qing army to enter the city of Yangzhou on the mountain of corpses.

    At the same time, in order to limit the power of the fat army's mother-child cannons and Sanhao rockets, Han Daren suggested that Yue Le arrange the artillery array five miles away from the west gate of Yangzhou.  It can also prevent the Fatty Army's trump card and Miyoshi rockets from threatening the Qing army's artillery array.  In addition, Han Daren wisely suggested that Yue Le build a temporary fortification in front of the Qing army's artillery formation, which was temporarily composed of a horse ditch, a stockade fence and antlers.  It is also difficult to attack the Qing army's artillery array from the front.

    The reason why Yue Le, who had no expectations for the Yangzhou war, reused Han Daren was simply to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Seeing that Han Daren's arrangement was very reasonable, he did not hesitate and immediately approved everything Han Daren wanted  The tactical arrangement allowed the infantry of the Qing army to prepare according to the law, and arranged for 3,000 Qing iron cavalry and 10,000 Mongolian cavalry to stand by the artillery position to prepare for the fat army's surprise attack team out of the city.

    At noon on May 13th in the first year of Zhaowu and the fourteenth year of Qingkang Mazi, after careful preparations, the Qing army¡¯s second attack on Yangzhou kicked off. Yue Le, Jie Shu, Bo Guoduo, Shang Shan and Tu  Hai and other important Qing army generals came to the front line to observe the artillery battle. The Qing army rookie Han Daren commanded the artillery battle. The Qing army's chief firearms expert Dai Zi came to the front line to measure the shooting height and correct the firing angle for the Qing army.

    At noon, with the waving of Han Daren's command flag, sixty-three Hongyi cannons let out earth-shattering roars at the same time, shooting primitive flowering shells and solid shells of different sizes into the sky, and shooting them towards the city wall of Yangzhou along a parabola.  Immediately afterwards, dust and smoke splattered on the city wall of the west gate of Yangzhou, and sawdust and gravel flew randomly from the garrison tower of brick and wood structure on the city wall.  It hit the city wall of Yangzhou, and the bricks of the city were smashed into pieces, and the city wall shook slightly.

    "Boom! Boom!" The fat cannon on the city wall unceremoniously fired back. Not only was it as accurate as the Qing army's Hongyi cannon calibrated by Dai Zi himself, but it was also far more powerful. The solid shell could fly when it hit the ground  Four or five zhang away, wherever they passed, all the soldiers of the Qing army had broken bones and bones.  Thick smoke billowed from the city walls of Yangzhou and the artillery positions of the Qing army, and the gunpowder smoke choked the nostrils.

    "Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, twelve!" Tu Hai, who silently counted the number of Hongyi cannons in the Fatty Army, roared, "Han Daren guessed right! The number of Hongyi cannons in Yangzhou Wugou  Sure enough, there are not many, there are only twelve gates in the west! In this battle, we have hope!"

    "If there are twelve Hongyi cannons on each of the four city walls in the southeast, north, and west of Yangzhou, then there will be forty-eight in total. Our advantage in the number of Hongyi cannons is still not obvious." Shang Shan said with a frown.

    "Not necessarily!" Yue Le was calmer, and said in a deep voice: "Have you noticed? At least four of Wu Gou's Hongyi cannons were fired in the northwest and southwest corners. With our previous arrangement, Wu Gou is sure  Knowing that the west gate is the main position, it is likely that some Hongyi cannons were transferred from other city walls in advance, so there are only twelve in total, which proves that there are really not many Wugou Hongyi cannons in Yangzhou City."

    "Let's have a look. If we continue to fight like this, we will soon know exactly how many Hongyi cannons there are in Yangzhou." Jie Shu expressed his opinion in this way, and Yue Le, Shang Shan and others praised it together, and put aside other thoughts for the time being.  Put it aside, and continue to nervously observe the specific situation of the Yangzhou artillery battle.

    At this time, when the gunners of the Qing army were still nervously loading ammunition and ammunition, the Fat Army Hongyi cannon fired with a fixed charge bag had already fired again, pouring shells one after another onto the artillery position of the Qing army that exposed the target, rumbling  Amidst the explosion, the gunners of the Qing army spattered with flesh and blood, crying ghosts and howling wolves.  Although Han Daren tried his best to restrain the gunners to fire as soon as possible, but the gunners of the Fatty Army were too fast. Under the cover of artillery fire, the gunners of the Qing Army were flustered, and the firing speed was even slower, and the firepower was greatly suppressed.  The power of Suhe shells made up for the disadvantage in numbers, and the gunners of the Qing army suffered heavy casualties, panicked, and the speed of counterattack was even slower.

    "How did Wu Gou's Hongyi cannon fire so fast?" Seeing this scene, Yue Le, who was hiding from a distant high ground to observe the artillery battle, turned pale, and exclaimed: "Our Hongyi cannon fired one shot, and Wu Dog's  The Hongyi cannon can fire three shots, and the power of the blooming shells is much greater than ours, and our advantage in the number of artillery can't be used at all."

    "As I said, war is not a simple sum of numbers." Jie Shu said sullenly: "Uncle Wangp; "That makes sense, who does the general think we should attack first?" Han Daren asked with a nod.

    "Leerjin!" Fatty Lu said decisively: "Let's take care of Leerjin first, to show off the prince's two hundred and five virtues, and he will definitely not rescue him immediately, maybe he will repeat the old trick and go to attack Nanjing or this Taiping City again out of nerves, which is even worse.  Keep away from the Fanchang battlefield so that we can calmly concentrate our forces and completely annihilate Le Erjin!"

    "Wonderful!" Yao Qisheng snapped his fingers, and added: "It would be even better if the Mangou navy led by Ghent Batulu landed to rescue Leerjin! The combat effectiveness of the sailors will be weakened by at least 30% when they go ashore. General Li Jiyang  The navy of our army led by us can also take the opportunity to attack, buy chickens and bring cages, and kill the last navy full of dogs upstream of us!"

    "The general's tactics have never been wrong, and it must be the same this time." Han Daren stood up, cupped his hands to Fatty Lu and said, "Please give the order to send troops, the last general, please be the vanguard!"

    "General, please order to send troops!" All the generals in the tent stood up together, clasping their fists for orders.

    "Han Daren obeys the order!" Fatty Lu stood up and shouted: "The Taiping Army Corps dispatched 17,000 cavalry infantry, and they will dispatch with my 20,000 elite troops to take the official route and directly attack Fanchang. You lead 5,000 cavalry infantry  Be the vanguard!"

    "Li Jiyang listened to the order. You lead the Taiping Prefecture Navy with 8,000 people and take the water route to the south bank of Nichakou to station. If the Mangou Navy does not take the initiative to fight, ignore him. If the Mangou Navy lands to rescue Le Erjin, immediately  Dispatch, and strive to wipe out the Manchu fleet! Wuhu Zhang Wenxiang's 5,000 troops don't have to move, and stick to the city. Li Mao, Ji Xuan, you two lead an army of 10,000 to stay in Taiping City and wait for your order!"

    Having said that, Fatty Lu paused, then smiled and ordered: "General Li Mao, Jifu, when you stay in Taiping City, you must plant more flags on the city and organize more people to go to the city."  Help defend, lure the main force of Prince Zhang to attack Taiping City, and buy time for the main force of our army to annihilate Le Erjin."

    "Why?" Li Maozhu and Jixuan were both stunned, and asked together: "General, since you want to lure Zhangtai Mangou to attack Taiping City, why do you want to raise the flag and organize more people to go to the city to help defend? To show the enemy  Xu, isn't it better?"

    "Because in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the more this is the case, the fewer troops there may be in the city." Fatty Lu scratched his head and said: "Give it a try, I really can't figure out what Prince Zhang is thinking, "  The Romance of the Three Kingdoms contains the false and the real, and the real and the false, and the false and the real. The key depends on the chapter that Zhang Wang turned to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". In short, you try your luck, even if you don¡¯t  I don¡¯t blame you for success¡ªout of all the generals and generals, the only one I can¡¯t figure out is this Prince Zhang.¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 359 Prince Zhang is a Good Man

    ?

    (ps: I will not be at home tomorrow, so the update can only be said to try my best. If you can¡¯t make it out, please understand and forgive me.)

    With a large number of people and great strength, the ideal position needed by the Qing army's artillery formation was quickly found. It was located in a large area of ??more than 600 mu of farmland to the west and slightly north of Yangzhou City.  The water source is not a problem. The reason why the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are called the granary of the world is that apart from the suitable climate and fertile land, another important reason is that the water conservancy facilities are perfect. The Qing army only needs to dispatch hundreds of thousands of infantry, and it takes less than half a day.  Easily dig out a diversion canal that is enough to flood the more than 600 acres of farmland into a swamp.

    The only thing that is more troublesome is the temporary fort. When firing on the muddy ground, if there is no solid fort support, the terrifying recoil of the artillery is enough to insert the tail of the gun into the mud, and the shell will fly without knowing where it will go.  But fortunately, the Qing army also had capable people and sufficient manpower, so they quickly figured out a way to quickly build a temporary fort, that is, to cut down a large number of trees, cut off the branches and leaves of the trunk, and sharpen one end  , and then nailed a few tree trunks into the mud, and then nailed planks on the top, and a temporary fort strong enough to withstand small earthquakes was completed.  (This method is not fictional, and it is still used when building buildings in some areas.)

    It is of course impossible for the Qing army to build temporary fortifications on such a large scale to hide from the eyes of the Yangzhou fat army, but it is too far away to judge what kind of fortifications the Qing army is building and what fortifications they are used for.  For the sake of caution, Gao Dejie, who is experienced in the battlefield, not only transferred three-quarters of the twenty Hongyi cannons in Yangzhou City to the northwest corner of Yangzhou, but also sent an army out of the city for fire reconnaissance.

    Although Gao Dejie's wishful thinking was good, but this time Yue Le was willing to go all out, mustered up the courage to fight with all his strength, Gao Dejie sent his general Gao Qi to lead 3,000 troops out of the city, and Yue Le sent 15,000 cavalry  The army fought against the fat man's army at all costs. With the determination that three Qing soldiers would kill a fat man's soldier, he desperately blocked the way out of the city for the fat man's army.  Leading Yue Le's relatives to supervise the battle in front of the battle, anyone who takes a step back before the battle will be killed immediately!

    At the beginning of the blocking battle, after killing hundreds of deserters including the banner soldiers in one breath, the soldiers of the Qing army who were all dead in front of them could only temporarily forget the fear of the fat army in order to survive, and moved forward desperately with red eyes, using their bodies  To block the fat army's gun holes, use your body to block the fat army's knives and guns, use your life to consume the fat army's Miyoshi rockets, desperately close the distance with the fat army, the mite cavalry and Mongolian cavalry also desperately encircle the two wings  , Even if there is already a river of blood in front of him, corpses are strewn all over the field, and the ones who follow are just desperately charging.

    One man is desperate, ten men are irresistible. Although the fat man's soldiers are brave, they can't stop the enemy's desperate impact several times. After fighting for more than two hours, they can't break through the Qing army's blockade and get close to the Qing army's artillery position.  At the same time, Yue Le was still sending reinforcements in a steady stream, assuming the posture of completely exhausting the fat city army.  Gao Qi had no choice but to give up the fire reconnaissance plan, and led the remnants of the army to flee back to Yangzhou City. The red-eyed Qing army chased him with all their strength, and the Yangzhou City was covered with artillery and Sanhao rockets with a range of only three miles.  The Qing army that rushed to the front was almost wiped out, so they had no choice but to withdraw their troops honestly.

    When Gao Qi ran up to the city wall of the northwest gate of Yangzhou and saw Gao Dejie, Gao Dejie was discussing the military situation with Hu Guoliang, Wu Yonghua and other civil and military officials in Yangzhou city.  Seeing Gao Qi knelt down to plead guilty, Gao Dejie waved his hand generously and said: "Get up, I have seen the actual situation, I don't blame you for not getting the job done, it's because Man Gou worked too hard, you are afraid of too many casualties."  retreating soldiers."

    "Thank you, General Gao." Gao Qi hurriedly saluted and thanked him, then stood up, wiped the sweat and blood on his face and said, "General Gao, did Man Gou take the wrong medicine? The last general only had three thousand infantry out of the city.  The dog mobilized tens of thousands of troops to block it, and fought so desperately, as if it was going to die with the last general, is it completely unreasonable?"

    "I'm also curious about this matter. Why is Mangou so afraid of us leaving the city?" Gao Dejie also had a puzzled expression, and pointed to the Qing military construction site six miles to the northwest and said, "But one thing I can be sure of is that Mangou  The dogs are working so hard, nine out of ten are related to that construction site, and the dogs are either afraid of us destroying it, or afraid that we will know what they are doing?"

    "Then what is Mangou doing?" Hu Guoliang pondered: "Mangou transported so much wood and dug so much earth, could it be that they want to dig tunnels to attack the city? But if Mangou digs tunnels, there is no need to be in such an open place  Did you dig it so that we can find out? Besides, there is groundwater everywhere in Yangzhou, isn¡¯t digging a tunnel to attack the city just for flooding?¡±

    "General Gao, I have a suggestion." Jin Zhen, the magistrate of Yangzhou, said flatteringly: "General Gao Qi's performance in the city just now, I have seen it. As expected, our Great Zhou army is indeed brave and good at fighting.  ,"Prince Zhang waved his hand lazily, then looked down at "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" again, Niyahan and the others had no choice but to shut their mouths and wait patiently.

    After holding his breath and waiting for a long time, Prince Zhang finally raised his head again and ordered: "It's decided, the whole army will set up camp and go north to Huangchi Town at the junction of Taiping Mansion and Ningguo Mansion!"

    "Go to Huangchi Town?" Niyahan was taken aback, and quickly said, "My lord, are you joking? Huangchi Town is hundreds of miles away from Fanchang City, and there are no official roads or waterways.  We still honor Baylor, once in danger, it is very difficult to rescue each other."

    "Fortunately, you are still the Dingnan General of the Qing Dynasty. I can't even see the purpose of moving to Huangchi Town?" Prince Zhang said angrily: "Huangchi Town is located at the junction of Jiangning Mansion, Taiping Mansion and Ningguo Mansion. Our army  Moving here will directly threaten the two major towns of Wugou, Jiangning City and Taiping City, which can not only have the effect of besieging Wei and saving Zhao, but also take advantage of false attacks to capture Jiangning or Taiping City, killing two birds with one stone, wouldn't it be wonderful?!"

    "Surround Wei and save Zhao? Kill two birds with one stone?" Niyahan and the others were stunned. After finally recovering, Niyahan hurriedly exclaimed: "General, it seems that it is not that easy, right? Let's not say that our army is so arranged that it is easy to be defeated by Wu."  It is absolutely impossible to attack Jiangning and Taiping City! Last time you almost succeeded in attacking Jiangning, it was because you commanded all cavalry and moved quickly, so you caught Wu Gou by surprise. This time our 40,000  The army is mixed with infantry and cavalry, and the marching speed is slow, and Wu Dog has suffered and been deceived, so there must be heavy troops stationed in Jiangning and Taiping City, how can we succeed in a surprise attack?"

    "If there is no way to sneak attack, then attack by force." Prince Zhang said confidently: "My prince is familiar with military books and has a deep understanding of military strategies. Naturally, I have considered the difficulty of sneak attack this time, so when our army moved to Huangchi Town, I also  I will send a death order to Le Erjin, let him stick to Fanchang City, not to take a step back, firmly restrain the main force of Wugou, and buy time for the main force of our army to storm Taiping City and Jiangning City!"

    Not to mention, the tactics arranged by Prince Zhang this time are literally invulnerable. Even Niyahan, who is experienced in military affairs, can't find fault - although it is definitely not that easy to execute.  So Niyahan could only cautiously remind: "My lord Zhang, is it too difficult for Shuncheng Baylor's lone army to contain Wugou's main elite? After several times of seeing and seeing in Fanchang County, the people in the city have basically fled.  It's completely clean, the city is dilapidated, and it's too difficult for Baylor to stand alone?"

    "That's right." Shu Shu, Leerjin's powerful deputy, who was forcibly transferred by Prince Zhang from Tongling City, also reminded: "And most of the 20,000 troops in Shuncheng Baylor's hands are second-line troops with mediocre combat effectiveness, so let him alone  I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight Wugou's elite, so please think twice, my lord."

    "Can't fight in the wild, can't you defend the city?" Prince Zhang suddenly got angry and asked fiercely: "Last time in Chizhou, I only had five or six thousand troops in my hands, and the people in the city fled completely, but the enemy  There are more than 80,000, according to your thinking, isn't this king dead? But what is the final result?"

    "That's why your blind cat ran into a dead mouse, okay?" Most of the generals of the Qing army murmured together, but no one dared to speak out.

    "It's so decided!" Prince Zhang clapped the handsome case and shouted: "Immediately the whole army will pull out the camp and march into Huangchi Town! Give Le Erjin a death order, and defend Fanchang City at all costs! Take Taiping City for the main force of our army  Buy time! Then send an order to Ghent Baturu, let him and Leerjin become horns, assist Leerjin to defend Fanchang, and wait until the king wins Taiping City or Jiangning City, and then go south to join me!"

    "Damn it, there is no other way, just take a gamble. Logically speaking, Wu Gou should have come to beat us first. After this idiot suffers, maybe he will change his mind." Headed by Niyahan  All the generals of the Qing army murmured in their hearts together, and they all agreed together helplessly, "Cover."

    Ever since, when the main force of the Fat Man Army was fighting towards Fanchang along the wide and flat official road, our Great Qing God of War, Prince Zhang, led the main force of the Qing Army on the Western Front very wisely, carrying a large amount of food, grass and baggage across the mountains and mountains,  Crossing rivers and streams, overcoming thorns and thorns, marching on sparsely populated wilderness paths, aggressively attacking Huangchi Town at the junction of Jiangning Mansion, Taiping Mansion and Ningguo Mansion.  Surround, and look for opportunities to send surprise soldiers to attack the back of the fat man's army!

    After Lord Zhang¡¯s wise decision and order to stick to Fanchang came to Le Erjin, Le Erjin vomited blood on the spot, slapped the table and cursed, ¡°Child Zhangtai, I¡¯ll fuck your mother¡¯s eighteenth generation ancestor!  Not to mention the transfer of Lao Tzu's main soldiers, but also Lao Tzu's steadfast defense of Fanchang, not allowing him to take a step back¡ª¡ªFanchang is a shattered siege, and you still want to contain the elite of Wugou's two major corps? You come to guard for me!  "

    "Prince Zhang is a good man, let him continue his prestige for a few days, and ignore him." Fatty Lu reacted in this way when he received the news, pointed his whip in the direction of Fanchang, and shouted: "Go at full speed to Fanchang, this time, you can't say anything."

 Chapter 360 The Battle of Fanchang

    ?

    In the first year of Zhaowu in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and on May 16th in the fourteenth year of Qingkang Mazi, the main force of the fat man's western expedition led by Lu Fatzi arrived at the foot of Fanchang City, and the 20,000 troops stationed here.  The army was good at field battles and was full of vigor, so he resolutely rejected the suggestion of his deputy Garhan to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Fatty Army and go out of the city to fight with his back.  Confrontation, and strive to complete the task assigned by Lord Zhang Taizhang to hold back the main force of the fat man's army¡ªalthough Le Erjin knew very well that Zhang Tai's order was a typical reckless order.

    The area from Fanchang to Wuhu has always been the main battlefield of the tug-of-war between the Fatty Army and the Qing Army. In the past year or so, Fanchang City has changed hands several times. Both the Qing Army and the Fatty Army have captured the city several times, and then  They all gave up several times because there was no oil and water to fish and they were far away from the rear.  After so much tossing and tossing, there are basically no good houses in Fanchang City. Many people died and injured in the flames of war, and fleeing seriously.  So strict, but it has not yet fallen to the level of Eza, Tuhai and Zhou Peigong, so after returning to Fanchang City this time, Leerjin simply let all these remaining people leave the city in advance to prevent them from being affected by the flames of war.

    When defending the city without human support from the people, it may not have much impact. What worried Le Erjin most was Fanchang¡¯s city defense.  It has not been repaired and rebuilt, and can only be filled with straw sacks and sacks of soil, which is so fragile that it can be washed away by a heavy rain; and the moat is even more mixed, so blocked by earth and stone debris that even a child cannot be submerged, and it is impossible to stop it.  Stop the progress of the fat army.

    There is no other way, limited to the strict orders of Lord Zhang, Le Erjin, who has a strong sense of responsibility, can only follow the orders no matter how dissatisfied, and honestly do his best to strengthen the city defenses, repair the city walls and dig deep moats, prepare a lot of sacks, stones and sacks  Wood and other materials for defending the city.  But what Le Erjin didn't expect was that the fat man's army was advancing so fast. It set off from Taiping Mansion on the morning of May 14th and traveled more than 120 miles. On the evening of May 15th, the forward of the fat man's army led by Han Daren  The team had already arrived at the outskirts of Fanchang, and on May 16th, the main force of the Fatty Army also arrived in Fanchang, leaving no time for Le Erjin to prepare.

    The only thing that makes Leerjin more gratified is that, judging from the fact that the main force of the Fatty Army has arrived at Fanchang City in more than two days, the Fatty Army should not have brought too much food and grass this time¡ªotherwise the marching speed must not be so fast, so Fanchang  As long as the Qing army can hold out for about ten days, even if there is no help from Prince Zhang, the main force of the fat army will be forced to retreat.  At the same time, there is another point that is slightly beneficial to the Qing army, that is, because of sailing against the current, the Fatty Army Navy has just arrived at Sanshan Port, and there is still a distance from the Qing Army Navy stationed in Digang.  unfavorable situation.

    Before the war started, the scout battle had already started. In order to cut off the connection between Leerjin and Ghent Baturu, the reformed Han Daren personally commanded the cavalry of the fat army to encircle and suppress the scouts of the Qing army, and divided the two thousand cavalry of the fat army into  Teams 20 and 15 launched a rigorous search and kill around Fanchang City, and the other five teams kept the mobile team. They immediately dispatched when they saw the fireworks signal, and assisted the friendly forces to strangle the Qing army scouts with all their strength. Not a single Qing army scout would be let go  .  Le Erjin knew that the fat man's intention to cut off his connection with Ghent Baturu must have no good intentions, so he organized the elite cavalry to go out of the city to fight against strangulation, and at the same time sent a letter to Ghent Batulu, demanding that Ghent Batulu  Lu strictly guards Digang, and never sees his own handwritten letters. He must never land to rescue Fanchang City, so as not to let the fat man's army and sailors take advantage of it.

    The bloody skirmish continued throughout the day on June 16th. The Qing cavalry, who were proficient in riding and archery, and the fat cavalry who had been honed through hard work, exchanged guns and arrows in the wilderness and hills. There were many fierce battles. The Qing cavalry was slightly better in bows and arrows.  After passing the fat man army, the cavalry of the fat man army completely defeated the Qing army in terms of weapons and equipment. During the whole day, the sounds of horseshoes, bows and arrows breaking through the air, muskets and grenade explosions in the outskirts of Fanchang never stopped.  Army and Qing cavalry blood stained the battlefield.  It wasn't until it was getting dark that the Fatty Army dispatched a large group of infantry to join the scouting battlefield, and the Qing cavalry was forced to retreat back to the city. However, Leerjin's letter to Ghent Baturu was also extremely lucky to break through the blockade of the Fatty Army and was delivered to the  In the Baturu Army of Ghent.

    When the sky was completely dark, countless torches were ignited on the top of Fanchang City, and bonfires and torches as dense as stars were also ignited in the Fatty Army camp ten miles away, reflecting half of the sky red, making the sound of clanging siege weapons,  It can be heard clearly even in the city of Fanchang.  Feeling the soaring murderous aura, Le Erjin, who was commanding the Qing infantry on the city wall to strengthen the city defense overnight, was unavoidably worried, knowing that this time must be a tragic and unprecedented decisive battle, and it is very likely that it will be his last battle  .

    &nbspHard to mend.

    I have to admit that Le Erjin, who was called an annoying fly by Fatty Lu, was indeed far superior to the Qing Dynasty God of War Prince Zhang in terms of commanding the army.  Still carrying the sack of earth and rushing towards the gap, throwing the sack of earth sack heavily into the gap in the city wall to repair the blockage again, even if the soldiers in front were smashed to pieces by the fat army artillery, the soldiers of the Qing army behind would not hesitate  Stepping on the flesh and blood of his companions, he continued to move forward, one after another, without hesitation.  At the same time, the only few gunners in the Qing army ignored the dust and smoke, and tried their best to keep their eyes wide open, nervously looking for the headquarters of the flag formation of the Fat Man Army, and also looking for the only hope of victory for the Qing army.

    After more than half an hour of violent bombardment, the Fanchang City Wall, which had been in disrepair for a long time, suddenly "bang" loudly. Unable to withstand the salvo of artillery fire from the Fat Man Army, the northeast corner collapsed first, and a hole more than ten feet wide was blown out.  There were thunderous cheers from all over the place, and the Qing army was terrified. Only Le Erjin remained calm, just grabbed Baka, and shouted: "Take someone to mend the hole. From now on, you will be responsible for repairing the city wall!"

    "Cover!" Baka agreed loudly, and led the troops away at a gallop.  De Yeli, a subordinate next to him, yelled: "Master Baylor, Wugou's artillery fire is too fierce! If this continues, please let the servants lead the cavalry to attack and destroy Wugou's artillery formation!"

    "Wu Gou's Sanhao rocket is so powerful, aren't you afraid?" Le Erjin asked back.

    "My slave's surname is Niu Colu. If you defend, you will die, and if you attack, you will die. This slave is willing to gamble!" De Yeli replied solemnly.

    "Go, I will give you a thousand cavalry." Le Erjin waved his hand, "Leave the city through the north gate."

    De Yeli slapped Le Erjin a thousand, and immediately rushed down to the city without saying a word.  A moment later, De Yeli led a thousand cavalry out of the city from the north gate, and made a detour towards the east gate. The fat man's army had already prepared, and the 20 cannons in the northeast turned their muzzles, aiming at De Yeli's cavalry  The Sanhao rocket team, which was useless to attack the city, also took the opportunity to show their power by firing cannons and bombs, blasting out five or six hundred Sanhao rockets in one go.

    "Brothers, go!" De Yeli himself rushed to the front holding the military flag, roaring with red eyes, "Come! Go! Fight with Wu Gou!" The Qing army cavalry who left the city with the determination to die also roared.  Like thunder, he charged forward without fear.

    Bravery can't make up for the huge gap between weapons. Amidst the endless explosions, the cavalry of the Qing army were smashed to pieces one after another. One after another, people turned their backs on their backs, and most of them fell down in the blink of an eye. Only a few lucky ones escaped the artillery and rockets of the fat army.  The first salvo.  But these lucky ones were not able to continue their luck. When the Fat Man¡¯s artillery fired again and the rockets fired again, more than 90% of the thousand cavalry of the Qing army fell down. On the battlefield filled with gunpowder, human corpses and horse corpses piled up like mountains, smashed flesh and bones  It was like laying a carpet of blood on the ground.

    "Kill! Kill! Kill Wugou!" De Yeli, who was lucky enough to rush past the coverage of the Sanhao rocket, was deaf and didn't know how many soldiers were left behind, but he still yelled and rushed towards the artillery team of the Fat Man Army  .  But when he rushed closer, the muskets of the Fat Man Army who were guarding in line had already fired their muskets, and Deyeli and his horse shot more than ten times.  However, he was still crawling forward, moaning constantly, "Kill, kill Wu dog" And behind De Yeli, there was no longer a Qing soldier who could stand.

    In just a short moment, thousands of Qing cavalry were wiped out. The soldiers of the Qing army in Fanchang City were terrified when they saw this scene, and Le Erjin burst into tears.  He couldn't help but sighed, and said, "There are also warriors on the Mangou side. They know that they are moths flying into the flames, but they are still desperate. It is really admirable. Unfortunately, they are the enemies of our Chinese nation."

    "Itanbu." Sighing, Fatty Lu called the famous traitor Itanbu to him again, and ordered: "Take a hundred people to clean up the cavalry battlefield just now. Except for the four slaves, the rest  Bring back those who are still alive, and let the military doctor do their best to rescue them, I am still useful."

    "Decree!" Itambu clasped his fists and agreed.  But before the words fell, a shell suddenly fell twenty steps in front of Fatty Lu and exploded, releasing two unlucky soldiers of the Fatty Army. When Fatty Lu urgently ordered to rescue him, he smiled and said, "Little Leerjin!"  It¡¯s pretty smart, if you don¡¯t have enough artillery, you don¡¯t shoot at each other, and use it as a beheading tactic. Fortunately, my luck is not as bad as my father-in-law¡¯s.¡±  The army was bombarded to death, leading to the defeat of the Wu army)

    "Young master, don't be complacent, the cannonballs have spotted our flag array!"

    Xiao Erlang screamed and rushed forward, led a few soldiers to set up Fatty Lu and left. As the commander of the whole army, Fatty Lu was about to put on a show of losing his temper for the sake of face, but another shell was on the right side.  Then he changed from Xiao Erlang and others carrying Fatty Lu away to Fatty Lu dragging Xiao Erlang away.

    "Fuck it! Tell Lan Fu to concentrate firepower and kill the cannons full of dogs! Then push the mother and child cannons one mile forward, and concentrate firepower to bombard me!"

 Chapter 361 The Flame of War Erupts

    ?

    "Fuck you, Man Gou! Hongyi cannon, aim at the position of Man Gou's cannon, and give me a hard bang!"

    "Mother and child cannon, stop firing! Move forward one mile!"

    With the ferocious yelling of Line Fu, the commander of the Fat Man's Armament Squad, the order was conveyed quickly, and the artillery formation of the Fat Man's Army, which had been raging for more than half an hour, fell silent one after another.  At the corner, aim at the Qing army fort that was exposed when the artillery was fired just now, and the mother and child artillery team all moved forward to get close to the city wall, using close-range firing to exert greater destructive power on the city wall with solid shells.

    "Wu Gou's artillery has stopped! Hurry up and repair the city wall!" At the same time, Le Erjin also jumped up on the Fanchang city wall, shouting loudly: "Wu Gou's artillery is advancing, quickly repair the city wall, otherwise  No chance! Hurry up! Hurry up! Hongyi Cannon, transfer immediately!"

    "Transfer the Hongyi Cannon! Hurry! Come and help!" The gunners of the Qing army also knew that they had exposed their targets, so they hurriedly called their companions to turn the cannons, and pushed them to other forts together.  Last Ammo.  But the Hongyi cannon weighing several thousand catties does not mean that it can be transferred. When the soldiers of the Qing army just pulled the Hongyi cannon back to the open part of the city wall and turned the cannon body, the fat army Hongyi cannon far away from the city wall had already fired.  Roaring and rumbling explosions, thirty shells were divided into two groups, roaring and smashing towards the fort of the Qing army.

    "Protect the Hongyi Cannon!" I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and several soldiers of the Qing army threw themselves on the Hongyi Cannon, protecting the steel giant with their flesh and blood, lest the last two gates of the Leer Jin Army  The Hongyi Cannon was destroyed by the Fat Man's artillery fire.  However, the shells from the Fat Man Army still fell overwhelmingly. Amidst the sound of rumbling explosions, the soldiers of the Qing army within the coverage area of ??the artillery fire were either killed or injured.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Fatty's artillery shells came one after another, and the soldiers of the Qing army who tried to rescue the artillery also fell into a pool of blood one after another.  , I could only watch helplessly as our last two Hongyi cannons were gradually deformed in the artillery fire, the frame was gradually fragmented, and they completely lost the ability to re-shoot.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom¡ª!" The sound of continuous shelling came, and the Fat Army's cannons weighing only 180 kilograms soon arrived at the new position.  With the Fanchang city wall fired again, the solid iron bullets weighing more than 20 jin hit the city wall. Although the casualties caused to the soldiers of the Qing army were far less than those of the shells, they were the worst for the dilapidated Fanchang city wall.  The fatal blow was struck.  Basically, one shot is a big pit, the bricks of the city wall are smashed, the rammed earth is cracked and broken, and they fall together in clusters, peeling off layers.

    "I'm afraid I won't be able to survive today's daytime." Seeing this, Le Erjin completely lost his confidence in sticking to Fanchang. He grabbed a soldier and yelled wildly in his ear: "You, bring ten cavalry to ride  Get out of the city quickly! Go after the prince! Tell him that Fanchang cannot hold on for a long time, and let him send reinforcements back immediately! I will do my best to hold back Wugou's main force!"

    "Cover! Cover! The servant understands!" Because the artillery fire was too fierce, Le Erjin's soldiers could only yell and agree as if tearing their throats.

    "Remember! You are asking for help from Lord Zhang, not Ghent Baturu. Don't make any mistakes!" Le Erjin yelled uneasy again, until the soldier yelled and promised to hear clearly, Le Erjin  Only then let him go out of the city.

    "Boom!" The messenger sent to ask Lord Zhang for help had just left the city wall when another section of the wall collapsed. The fat army cheered again, while the soldiers of the Qing army rushed towards the gap with sandbags against the gunfire, racing against time to repair the city wall.  But not long after, two loud bangs came from the southeast section of the Fanchang city wall. The two sections of the city wall could not withstand the devastation of the artillery fire and collapsed one after another. One of the gaps even collapsed from the middle of the city wall more than two feet high.  Everyone looked pale, and rushed to repair the city wall again.

    "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"  It was terrible, countless people were smashed to pieces, and were directly blown into meat sauce.  At the same time, the infantry team of Fatty Army, who had been holding back for a long time, finally made a move, carrying the ladder, carrying sandbags and pushing the anti-arrow cart, striding forward, trotting towards the east gate of Fanchang - Fatty Lu really wanted to  Use artillery to completely collapse the walls of Fanchang City and then attack the city, but considering the productivity of this era, Fatty Lu had to give up this plan and try his best to save some precious ammunition.

    "Wu Dog is ready to go to the city! Archers, musketeers, all ready! ?sp; In the end, the Fatty Army had no choice but to resort to the back-to-the-sky sampan tactic again. Under the cover of night, they blew up a Dutch warship and injured two Dutch warships.  The Qing-Dutch allied forces also paid a heavy price. Except for the people in Chongming County on Chongming Island, the rest of the people were massacred by the Qing army and the Dutch soldiers, and Mao Yougui's fleet lost more than half.  As a last resort, Mao Yougui and Han Yuanren could only quickly send messengers to ask for help from the Li Guodong Marine Division of the General Reserve of the Fat Army in Zhenjiang.

    On the southern front, Geng Jingzhong, who was thoroughly irritated by the arrogant attitude of the old man Wu, was also tempted by the conditions proposed by the Qing court to cede the entire territory of Zhejiang.  They also sent out an army to attack Yixing, and Guo Yingfu and Huang Ming, the fat man's army, fell into a bitter battle at the same time.  The Zheng Jing team in Hangzhou was firstly dissatisfied with the old man Wu's treachery and usurped the emperor, and temporarily terminated the ally relationship with the Fatty Army; secondly, it was not strong enough;  Strong support.

    Huzhou is the strategic buffer zone preset by the Fat Man Army, no matter how badly it fights, it will have little effect. The real danger is Yangzhou Prefecture on the northern line.  Just as Han Daren expected, the Yangzhou Fatty Army, which had only 20 Hongyi cannons, was at a disadvantage in the long-range artillery battle with the Qing Army, which had an absolute numerical advantage.  It was not only difficult for the army's Hongyi cannons to completely destroy the Qing army's artillery formations, but they were bombarded by the Qing army's original artillery shells and caused a lot of damage, and the city walls were in a hurry several times.

    As a last resort, Gao Dejie had no choice but to ask for help from the Fatty Army's rear, and asked to send Hongyi cannons to reinforce the Yangzhou battlefield, while sending troops to attack the Qing army's artillery formation.  However, Yue Le, who had enough cannon fodder, was determined to kill Gao Dejie. When Gao Dejie left the city with a thousand troops, Yue Le sent three thousand troops.  After dispatching 10,000 troops, Yue Le dispatched all the cannon fodder of the Mongolian cavalry, determined to exchange three for one or even four for one, desperately consuming the precious troops of the fat army.

    In addition, Zhou Peigong, who represented Kang Mazi to the Yangzhou battlefield to inspect the battle situation, gave Yue Le another bad idea, that is, once the high-level Czech army leaves the city in large numbers, the Qing army, which has an absolute superiority in strength, will attack another city gate.  Forcing Gao Dejie to return to the teacher for rescue.  There is also desperately digging horse traps and building anti-horse walls, so as to limit Gao Dejie's best cavalry raid tactics.

    "Actually, there is another way." Zhou Peigong also suggested to Yue Le: "In the territory of Yangzhou, there are many Han people who are daring and treacherous. Your lord, you can arrest these thieves in large numbers, and then tell them,  If they can fill up the moat of Yangzhou for us, they will be allowed to shave their hair and braids again, otherwise, they will all be executed for treason."

    "What? Wugou doesn't care about the life and death of the common people? Forgive me for daring to say that the prince is wrong. Wugou's army has always been hypocritical. Thirty years ago when we entered the Qing Dynasty, the only one who didn't slaughter the city for us was the Qing Dynasty.  It is the army of the old thief Wu Sangui. Now that the old thief Wu Sangui has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he naturally dare not kill the people casually. Besides, even if Wu Gou is so determined to shoot at the people, it will consume Wu Gou's ammunition  Isn¡¯t it pretty good? Now that Jiangnan Wugou is fighting on four fronts, how many firearms can you supply with just a black weapon camp?¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 362 The Miraculous Prince Zhang

    ?

    As Wang Xu, the general of the Fat Army, attacked the city wall of the south gate of Fanchang, and planted the all-white flag of the Fat Army on the dilapidated south gate tower, the Qing army in Fanchang City also completely lost its last hope, and began a complete collapse.  collapse.  The soldiers of the Qing army scrambled towards the only north gate that was not blocked by their own sacks of earth and rocks. The generals took off their armor in a panic, threw away the ugly helmet with the radar antenna, and picked up the bloody ordinary man from the dead.  The soldiers put it on, and then quickly joined the team fleeing to the north gate, and the entire Fanchang city was in chaos.

    Of course, it¡¯s not that no one tried hard to save the defeat. At least Leerjin¡¯s right-hand man Garhan did not give up.  However, after he was forced to withdraw the south gate wall, Garhan never led his troops to flee for his life. Instead, he tried his best to restrain the troops from collapsing. He took over the command of Leerjin and arranged for all the troops to escape.  In order to reduce the losses of the Qing army when they broke through and retreated.

    Not everyone is so loyal and sensible, especially Baka, who was designated by Leerjin, not only did not restrain the army to stop the pursuers after receiving the order, but took the lead in escaping from the north gate of Fanchang, and then the governor Yiribu also led  Leading his own soldiers to join the fleeing team, in order to speed up the Fanchang City, which was covered by the fat army's shells and rockets, Yilibu also decisively ordered his own soldiers to kill the defeated soldiers who blocked him from escaping.  Fanchang City.

    In this way, it is difficult to imagine that there will be more chaos in Fanchang City. In order to escape from birth earlier, the soldiers and generals of the Qing army killed each other and trampled on each other.  , Even if you want to squeeze out of the city earlier, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. The cries and screams in the city are so loud that they merge with the explosion of the fat army's shells and rockets, and they go straight to the sky.

    On the contrary, when the chances of winning were assured, the Fat Man Army did not blindly launch a general attack, but methodically seized the Fanchang city wall one by one, moved a large number of Sanhao rockets to the city wall, and bombarded the Qing soldiers in the city indiscriminately  , further increased the chaos of the Qing army, and frantically killed and eliminated a large number of Qing army soldiers, laying a solid foundation for the next step to wipe out this Qing army team.

    At this point in the battle, don't say that Le Erjin has lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss, even if Le Erjin is still awake, there will be no way to recover from it.  As a last resort, Garhan had no choice but to send someone to contact Hu Shiying and other Qing army generals, asking them to restrain the army with all their strength, while arranging elite soldiers to escort Leerjin out of the city, and ordered: "At all costs, even if you sacrifice your lives, you must  Send Shuncheng Baylor to Digang!"

    After sending off Leerjin, Garhan led the troops around him who could still command to the west gate of Fanchang, intending to remove the earthbags and stones that blocked the west gate of Fanchang and add a road out of the city.  However, near the west gate of Defanchang, something happened that made Garhan furious. Hu Shiying, the deputy general of the Qing army who was supposed to stick to the city wall of the west gate, disappeared.  He was throwing grenades, sheep's head stones, and wood at the bottom of the city gate to prevent the defeated Qing army from opening the west gate. It was supposed to be a dilapidated city wall to protect the safety of the Qing army soldiers, but now it has become an obstacle to prevent the Qing army from escaping.

    "General Kar, we can't get out of the west gate, let's retreat to the north gate!" The subordinate screamed and said, "If we don't leave, it may be too late."

    "Would it be a way of life to go to the north gate?" Garhan smiled wryly, "Wu Gou deliberately gave up the way to the north gate. Could it be that he really wanted to leave us a way of life out of kindness?"

    "Boom boom boom boom!" Before the words were finished, there was a continuous and violent explosion sound from the direction of the north gate, followed by loud cries from the direction of the north gate.  Although Garhan couldn't see what was going on outside the North Gate, he could guess that it must be the Fatty Army that had started to block the way out of the North Gate, and was about to wipe out the remaining Qing troops in Fanchang City.

    It was at this time that the sound of artillery from the Fat Man Army, which had hardly stopped since the start of the war, suddenly stopped abruptly, and the sound of new slogans echoed on the city wall of Fanchang, "Surrender, don't kill! Surrender, don't kill! Surrender, don't kill!"  One can vaguely hear someone shouting in mite language, "Brothers in mite state, surrender, the army of Dazhou is the army of benevolence and righteousness, don't kill the prisoners, surrender!"

    "We are finished." Garhan sighed sadly, the steel knife quietly slipped from his hand, and muttered: "I hope Lord Baylor can escape back to Digang smoothly and join our navy."

    Garhan's last wish was doomed to be unfulfilled. After receiving the news of Fanchang's emergency, the commander of the Qing army's navy stationed 30 miles northwest of Fanchang, Ghent Batulu, hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't bear to see his friendly troops.  Massacred wantonly by the Fatty Army, half of the troops, that is, 3,000 sailors, landed and handed over to his deputy Yang Jie to lead them.He never contacted us, and beat Xia Guoxiang so badly.  I also doubted whether he was my relative, but my family didn't seem to have such a relative.  What he was thinking, I really don't know.  "

    "It may be due to phlegm obsessing the heart orifice, stagnation of qi and blood, and disharmony between yin and yang." Zhu Fangdan analyzed it medically: "You can use more medicines to soothe the liver and regulate qi, so as to calm the liver and subdue yang, regulate qi and activate blood."

    "Okay, this kind of prince Zhang is a good prince, you'd better not cure him." Fatty Lu quickly waved his hand to stop Zhu Fangdan's kindness.

    After a few jokes, Yao Qisheng turned the conversation to the main topic, and suggested: "General, the students think that it is best for our army to send an army back to Wuhu to help in the battle as soon as possible, and to fight with General Li Maozhu of Taiping Mansion.  With the momentum of the horns, first deter Lord Zhang, so that he does not dare to make any changes, and after our main force returns to the division, we will plan to annihilate the main force of Mangou on the western front."

    Fatty Lu didn't immediately agree. After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Fatty Lu shook his head and replied: "I can't do this. I don't mean to underestimate the enemy. The key is what Prince Zhang will do next. I really can't guess.  However, the 40,000 Mandogs in his hands are the real main force of the Mangous on the Western Front. There are more than 11,000 cavalry alone. They move fast and their combat effectiveness is not weak. If we immediately divide our troops and return to Wuhu,  Breaking the current stalemate in the eastern part of Taiping Mansion, I can't even guess what kind of miraculous move Prince Zhang will make."

    Speaking of this, Fatty Lu paused, and added: "If Prince Zhang is in a hurry and takes his 40,000 main force to fight Gaochun and Liyang, and enter the hinterland of our army, it will be even more troublesome¡ªwe  The territory is the essence of the land in the world, everything is good, the only shortcoming is that the strategic depth is too small, if we let Lord Zhang go to our hinterland to stir up trouble, we will have to cry."

    "That's right." Yao Qisheng nodded, and echoed: "From the point of view of Prince Zhang holding back his troops, nine out of ten he wanted to wait and see the situation, make a decision before making a move, and we returned to the teacher immediately, disrupting his wishful thinking.  Maybe there will be some kind of miraculous move."

    "Let's do this." Fatty Lu made up his mind and said, "For the time being, we will not divide the troops, and we will try our best to wipe out the remaining Mangou on the Fanchang battlefield, and then let the army rest for a day. When Lord Zhang makes a move, it will not be too late for us to take action."

    Yao Qisheng and Zhu Fangdan agreed, and Fatty Lu ordered Zhu Fangdan: "Master Zhu, write a letter to Hu Guozhu to win the victory for me, telling him that we have defeated Le Erjin, please send troops to the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible, and join our army."

    Zhu Fangdan agreed again, and when he hurriedly wrote a book under the torch and lantern, Fatty Lu grabbed the sparse mustache on his chin and thought to himself, "Is it strange? Logically speaking, after receiving Kang Mazi's personal expedition to the south of the Yangtze River,  The news, no matter how stupid Hu Guozhu is, he should immediately send troops to the east, or at least make preparations for the east. When I and the main force of Mangou are in full swing, I will take the opportunity to enter the south of the Yangtze River. Why hasn't he sent troops or prepared to send troops so far?  information?"

    "Could it be that old man Wu Sangui's old fox wants to let Hu Guozhu pick a bargain after I have lost both sides in the battle with the Mangou emperor? It is possible that when I have lost both sides in the battle with Mangou's main force, the old fox will send troops to the south of the Yangtze River again.  If you want to rebel, you don't have the confidence and strength, fuck! God damn old fox!"

    "Also, the edict of old man Wu Sangui proclaiming the emperor and changing the Yuan Dynasty, and the official edict of ennobling me as the king of Yue County, why hasn't it been sent to Jiangnan? Calculated by the time and distance, it should have arrived earlier? Could it be that this old fox suddenly went back on his word,  You don¡¯t want to make me king again? But even so, he should give me an edict to proclaim the emperor and change the yuan, right?¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Let's turn around and take a look at the situation of our only Prince Da Qingzhang who gave Fatty Lu a headache. As we said earlier, when Le Erjin found out that the situation was not good, he sent ten cavalry to escort the messenger out of the city on fast horses to Huangchi.  Zhen asked Prince Zhang for help, but in order to force the most dangerous Prince Zhang to reveal his whereabouts first, Fatty Lu deliberately did not intercept this team of messengers and let Le Erjin's messenger break through to ask for help, so Le Erjin's messenger also broke through smoothly.  Fatty's army blockade, and when it was getting dark that evening, he arrived at the small town of Huangchi, and dictated Le Erjin's message for help to Prince Zhang.  Then¡­¡­

    "Take it down!" Our Prince Zhang slapped the table and shouted, "Push it out and chop it up!"

    "Cover." Without saying a word, Prince Zhang's personal soldiers stepped forward and held down the messenger Le Erjin, who was so scared that the messenger Le Erjin killed the pig and screamed, Niyahan, Ehena and other Qing army generals also looked at each other  , quickly came out to stop him, and asked: "My lord, what crime did this person commit and why did he have to be beheaded?"

    "Why do you want to beheaded?" Prince Zhang stared, and shouted: "You can't see it? This so-called messenger is a fake! It is a fake messenger sent by Lu Yifeng's dog thief to trick us back to the teacher! In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms",  There are as many shallow schemes as this one!"

    "My lord, I am wronged! The slave is the real messenger, the slave is the real messenger!"

    "Fart! Since you are a real messenger, why did you only bring Leerjin's message? Didn't you bring Leerjin's token and autographed letter? This prince is familiar with military books and has a deep understanding of strategy.  How can you hide from my lord's eyes like lightning?" (To be continued.

 Chapter 363

    ?

    Fortunately, under the command of Prince Zhang, there is also a former Guangzhou general Shu Shu who was forcibly transferred from the command of Le Erjin. He has fought side by side with Le Erjin since the twelfth year of Kang Mazi, and is very familiar with Le Erjin's situation.  , recognized at a glance that the messenger sent by Le Erjin was actually Le Erjin's confidant, and hurriedly stood up to testify.  Jin was unable to write letters with a pen, so he failed to bring Leerjin's handwritten letter for help.

    No matter what you say, coupled with the persuasion of all the generals of the Qing army, our Lord Zhang reluctantly believed the words of the messenger Le Erjin, waved his hand to let the soldiers let go of the unfortunate messenger, and then asked: "When did Wu Dog start attacking?"  City? When you came out to ask for help, how was the situation in Fanchang City?"

    "My lord, Wu Gou started attacking the city at dawn today." The messenger Le Erjin replied truthfully: "Wu Gou bombarded the east gate and south gate of Fanchang with more than a hundred light and heavy artillery pieces, and the city wall of Fanchang has been in disrepair for a long time.  , In less than an hour, a big hole was blasted out. Although our army tried its best to rescue the city wall, the Wugou artillery fire was too fierce, our army suffered heavy casualties, and our army cavalry sent out of the city to attack the Wugou artillery formation was also wiped out.  As a last resort, Lord Baylor sent his servants to ask the prince for help, please send the troops quickly, otherwise Fanchang will be in danger."

    "Trash!" After listening to the messenger's introduction, not only did our Lord Zhang not immediately send troops to rescue, but instead he slapped the table and angrily said, "What does Le Erjin do? It took only an hour for Wugou to attack the city, and he sent someone here."  Call for help? Waste! Big waste!"

    "My lord, you can't blame Shuncheng Baylor!" Le Erjin's messenger screamed: "It's Wu Dog's artillery fire is too fierce, one burst cannonball can blow up five or six of our brothers, one solid cannonball  , can blow the Fanchang city wall out of a big hole, Lord Baylor really can't stand it, so I have to ask you for help."

    "My lord, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, please also experience the difficulty of accepting Lord Baylor." Shu Shu stood up again, clasped his fists together, and said cautiously: "Maybe my lord has never been to Fanchang City, and I don't know the situation of Fanchang City Wall.  , the Fanchang city wall is only two feet high, and it has been in disrepair for a long time. The city bricks are seriously broken and falling off, and the moat is basically dry.  Vulnerable and of little use.¡±

    "Also." Shu Shu added carefully, "When Lord Belle went out before, in order to leave some seeds for our Qing army, he left most of the experienced main force elite in Tongling, and only brought a small amount of elite and  If the second- and third-line armies go out to fight without the protection of the city walls or fortifications, and fight in the open air, I'm afraid"

    "Don't make excuses for this king!" Our Lord Zhang waved his hand and scolded righteously: "Zhuge Liang was in Xinye, and he wiped out Xiahou Dun's 100,000 troops with only a few thousand troops! This king also only used a few thousand troops in Chizhou.  A few thousand troops defeated Wu Gou's 80,000 elite! Le Erjin has 20,000 troops in his hands, and a navy to support him, and he asked the king for help after only more than an hour since the start of the battle. Isn't it trash?!"

    The generals of the Qing army were speechless, and they really didn't have the confidence to refute in front of the outstanding Lord Zhang.  Only Prince Zhang¡¯s confidant, Tong Zhuman, dared to open his mouth, and cupped his hands to Prince Zhang and said, ¡°My lord, this servant thinks whether it¡¯s too early or too hasty to ask for help from Lord Belle, you can ignore it for now, but since Lord Belle sent a messenger to ask for help  , we have to take some action. The slave please lead an army to rescue Fanchang, and ask the prince for permission."

    "The last general is also willing to save Fanchang!" Niyahan, Shu Shu and other generals of the Qing army came out together, clasping their fists together to beg for orders.

    "Save Fanchang? It's easy to say!" Prince Zhang suddenly became angry again, and he also expressed a rare insightful opinion, "It's nearly a hundred miles from Huangchi Town to Fanchang. When our army runs there, no matter what  Is it the cavalry or the infantry who are almost exhausted, and send them to the door to give Wu Gou a rest?"

    "My lord is right, and it makes sense." Zhuman hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly asked again: "My lord, what should we do then?"

    "Send troops immediately to attack Taipingfu City!" Prince Zhang threw out his long-planned plan, and said confidently: "Wu Dog's main force is to attack Fanchang City, and this king will attack their Taiping City.  It is a small county town, but Taiping City is the west gate of Wugou in the south of the Yangtze River, and tightly restricts Wugou's grain road and escape route, each fighting his own way, to see who is more anxious. By the way, the siege of Wei and Zhao can be lifted, and the siege of Fanchang can be lifted."

    Prince Zhang¡¯s tactic was quite normal, and none of the generals in the Qing army objected to making trouble for themselves. Only Niyahan raised a question and asked, ¡°My lord, are we sure we can take Taiping City?  The high pool is deep, and the city is far stronger than Fanchang City. Once we cannot attack the city, or the siege battle is delayed for a long time, Wu Gou breaks through Fanchang and then calmly returns to the army, and the Taiping City defenders attack from inside and outside. Our troubles.It is much easier to fill the main force of the dog.  "

    "General, I'm afraid the situation is not so optimistic." Yao Qisheng reminded: "When the news of our army's annihilation of Fanchang Mangou reaches Taiping Mansion, the main force of Mangou will immediately understand that they are already a lone army, and they have already been defeated by our Nanjing army.  The garrison, the garrison of Taiping Mansion, the garrison of Wuhu, and our main force are encircling, no matter how stupid Man Gou is, he will choose to retreat to Ningguo Mansion immediately, and break out of the encirclement before we close the siege, and escape."

    "It doesn't matter, we can return to the division immediately, and Li Mao will attack the general inside and outside, and smash the main force of the dog." Zhu Fangdan suggested.

    "Master Zhu, things are not that easy." Yao Qisheng said solemnly: "Our army has just experienced a big battle, and the soldiers are very tired. At this time, we will immediately return to the Taiping Mansion and walk down more than 120 miles.  Soldiers will also be exhausted, and at that time, let alone wipe out the main force of the full force, whether they can withstand the counterattack of the main force of the full force is probably a big question."

    "That's going to be difficult." Zhu Fangdan scratched his head and said, "At this time, if you go back to the division to fight the main force of the dog, the soldiers' physical strength will not be able to bear it. If you rest for a day or two and then return to the division calmly, the main force of the full dog will slip south again.  We can't go south to attack Ningguo Mansion, can we?"

    "We must find a way to drag the main force of the dog under the city of Taiping." Fatty Lu said in a deep voice.

    "Think of a way to drag the main force of Mangou under Taiping City?" Yao Qisheng was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "General, how is this possible? No matter how stupid Zhang Tai is, it is impossible for him to stay in the dangerous Taiping City like a fool, waiting for us to calm down."  Go back to the teacher and kill them all?"

    "I think there is hope." Fatty Lu said quite confidently: "Emperor Mangou asked Prince Zhang to lead the main force on the western front to march east.  Fleeing to the Ningguo Mansion may save the main force of the Man Dog, but the mission entrusted to him by the Man Dog Emperor will definitely be ruined¡ª¡ªwill our Prince Zhang disappoint the Man Dog Emperor?"

    "That makes sense, so what should we do?" Yao Qisheng asked again.

    "Let me think about it." Fatty Lu sat back on the chair, kicked his legs and swayed to calculate, after a long time, Fatty Lu suddenly stopped shaking his fat legs, raised his head and said happily: "I thought of a way, maybe it will work  .¡±

    "What method?" Yao Qisheng and Zhu Fangdan hurriedly asked together.  But when Fatty Lu finished his idea, Yao Qisheng and Zhu Fangdan screamed again, "General, what are you kidding? Can this method work?"

    "It's hard to say." Yao Qisheng added unceremoniously, and said: "Unless you are a bastard with water in your head, you will never be fooled by this method!"

    "But the problem is, our Lord Zhang is such a person. For him, other tricks may not work like this." Fatty Lu smiled, waved his fat hand again, and said decisively: "No matter what you do, you have to do it."  Give it a try, and immediately send the Clippers to Li Mao to pass orders to let him follow the plan. If it really doesn¡¯t work, we¡¯ll think about it.¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Turning around to look at the situation at the Xiba camp in Miqing, because of the distance and the road blockade, at almost the same time, Kang Mazi, who had been waiting for a long time in the Xiba camp, finally received a message from Fatty Lu.  The news that he has personally led the army to the west, and this news was brought back to Kang Mazi by Zhou Peigong from the Yangzhou battlefield.

    "Lu Yifeng! Dog thief¡ª¡ª!"

    Hearing the news of Fatty Lu's expedition to the west, we are wise and powerful, handsome in appearance, Yue Lishenghong, actuarial arithmetic, calligraphy and painting, astronomy, foreign languages, politics, dredging rivers, and literary and martial arts.  Tuo Tu far surpassed Qin Wei Jingtang, the Pockmarked Emperor who was bragging about all his skills, was so angry that his face turned blue, and he slapped the fake dragon case and shouted: "Lu Yifeng! You thief! How dare you despise me so much?  I have already conquered Qinghe by myself, yet he dares to send troops to the western front, and he doesn't take me seriously at all!"

    "Master, since Lu Yifeng's thieves have already sent troops to the west, this slave has something to say." Zhou Peigong kowtowed, and said something that made Kang Mazi overjoyed, and also made all the civil and military officials next to him go out of their wits¡ª  ¡ª¡ªThis is what Zhou Peigong said, "The slave boldly believes that it is time for the master to cross the Yellow River and visit the Yangzhou battlefield."

 Chapter 364: Mr. Zhou Pei's Shady Trick

    ?

    "The slave boldly believes that it is time for the master to cross the Yellow River and visit the Yangzhou battlefield in person."

    Zhou Peigong's words were earth-shattering. It not only made Kang Mazi overjoyed, but also changed the faces of all the civil and military officials present. The old and prudent Prince Jian Labu was the first to jump up and shouted angrily: "Bold Zhou Peigong, before the master's personal expedition  , I have already made an agreement with the empress dowager's ancestors not to cross the Yellow River one step, and you know about it, now you are here to encourage the master to cross the river, against the ancestor's edict, what is your intention?!"

    "That's right! What are your intentions?" Kang Mazi's nephew and Prince Xian Danzhen, who had also been instructed by the old witch of Xiaozhuang, also jumped up, and said with a straight face: "Don't you see who the master is?  The master drives the body of Wancheng to cross the river and go deep into the dangerous land, have you eaten the guts of a leopard?"

    Although the other civil and military officials in the imperial tent did not dare to speak, they also peeked at Kang Mazi to observe Kang Mazi's reaction. Kang Mazi had a complex expression on his face.  Outburst - but the Yellow River is the guarantee that Kang Mazi personally made to the old witch of Xiaozhuang. At this time, accusing La Bu and Dan Zhen is tantamount to breaking the promise of the old witch of Xiaozhuang.  , Of course I can't open this mouth.

    "You two princes, please calm down for now." Zhou Peigong kowtowed his head and said calmly: "Of course, this servant knows the imperial edict of the empress dowager's ancestors and forbids the master to step across the Yellow River. However, given the current situation, once the master crosses the Yellow River  After crossing the Yellow River, the situation in the Jiangnan battlefield will undergo tremendous changes immediately, and all of them will develop in a situation that is beneficial to our Qing Dynasty. This opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come again."

    "No matter how good the situation is, you can't ask the master to cross the river. This is the order of the ancestors!" Labu said even more angrily.

    "Shut up!" Kang Mazi finally opened his mouth, and said coldly, "Let Zhou Aiqing finish talking first, I will make my own decision whether to cross the river or not¡ª¡ªZhou Aiqing, please be flat, and speak in detail, the more detailed the better."

    "Thank you, master." Zhou Peigong kowtowed to thank, then stood up, and said very respectfully: "Master, the current situation in the Jiangnan battlefield is like this. Our main force on the northern front of the Qing Dynasty is attacking Yangzhou and occupying the upper hand on the northern front battlefield;  The Red-haired Kingdom and our Great Qingshui Division attacked Chongming and Songjiang, and also had an advantage on the eastern front; on the southern front, our Qing army joined hands with Geng Jingzhong to attack Huzhou and Hangzhou, and basically drew with Wugou's army and Zheng Ni's army;  Due to the deployment of troops, Wugou has two corps deployed on the western front, which has an advantage over our western army of the Qing Dynasty."

    "Nowadays, Lu Yifeng's dog thief not only did not send troops to rescue the three fronts, but also personally led the main force to launch the Western Expedition when the third line was in an emergency. His strategy is obvious, that is, to annihilate or severely damage the main force on the western front of our Qing Dynasty as soon as possible.  Let his main force be free to deal with attacks from the other three fronts calmly. If our Qing army does not make adjustments to counter-insurgency strategy as soon as possible, disrupt Lu Yifeng's dog thief's tactical steps, and continue the original peace  If we use treasonous tactics, then it may cause Lu Yifeng's thieves to gain time and achieve a treacherous plan to defeat our Qing army one by one."

    "It makes sense, I think so too." Kang Mazi nodded decently, as if Zhou Peigong's incisive analysis was exactly the same as his analysis.  At the end, Kang Mazi asked quite puzzled: "Since you want to disrupt the steps of Lu Yifeng's dog thief, why do you want me to cross the Yellow River in the south? There are only ten thousand troops around me, even if they are all thrown into the Yangzhou battlefield  , it doesn¡¯t help, does it?¡±

    "Master, you are too humble." Zhou Peigong hurriedly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master is a body of ten thousand gold, worth far more than a hundred thousand troops, a million troops! If the master can come to the Yangzhou battlefield in person, the soldiers of the three armies of the Qing Dynasty will surely  The morale of the army is high, and it is better to attack the city of Yangzhou in one fell swoop than to add a million troops!"

    "I think so too." Kang Mazi nodded, and said confidently: "The battlefield in Yangzhou has reached a stalemate. If I come to the city of Yangzhou in person, my Qing soldiers will definitely be able to use their lives, boost their morale, and break through Yangzhou in one fell swoop."

    "The slave believes that if the master appears on the Yangzhou battlefield, it will definitely not only be affected by the local battlefield in Yangzhou!" Zhou Peigong said firmly: "The entire Jiangnan battlefield will also undergo earth-shaking changes because of the master's visit to Yangzhou! First of all, Lu Yifeng  The main force of the western expedition of the dog thief, after hearing that the master came to Yangzhou in person, the dog thief Lu Yifeng must be extremely panicked, and became more and more anxious to defeat our main force on the western front of the Qing Dynasty.  Failure to do so will make it increasingly difficult to end the war on the Western Front quickly."

    "Secondly, now Yangzhou has been heavily besieged by our Qing army, and even the canal has been cut off by our Qing army. What is lacking is the last blow to break through Yangzhou! And", waved away Zhuman, who bit Lu Dongbin with his dog and didn't know the heart of a good prince, and then took out the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that he carried with him, and devoted himself to studying it.

    In a short while, the preparations for the siege of the Qing army were completed, and the twenty-six red barbarian cannons brought by the army were lined up outside the east gate of Taiping City.  I built some simple flying ladders.  In view of the fact that the Fat Man Army has pulled up the suspension bridge, our Lord Zhang generously took out hundreds of rockets seized from Xia Guoxiang, and let the soldiers of the Qing army aim at the suspension bridge's suspension cable to launch, trying to blow up the suspension bridge suspension cable  .

    Seeing the opportunity, our Lord Zhang immediately arranged for the siege echelon. The second disobedient Ehena led the 4,000 people from the headquarters as the first siege team.  Qian is the second team, Shu Shu is the third team, and Mu Chenger, who barely disliked Prince Zhang, commanded the caravan, archer team and firearms team to form a temporary fortification on the side of the moat, suppressing the fat army on the city with bows, arrows and guns  garrison.  As for Zhu Man, who is the only one that makes Prince Zhang look pleasing to the eye, he is in charge of several positions, in charge of the blasting team, the artillery formation, the rocket team and the supervising team.  Although the generals of the Qing army were angry, they did not dare to object.

    After the arrangement was completed, the battle drums sounded, and the Qing Army rocket team rushed forward first, lined up within three miles of the city wall of Taiping Mansion, and aimed at the suspension bridge to launch.  The artillery shells poured on the city wall of the east gate of Taiping Mansion.  Huge explosions also resounded in the artillery formations of the Qing army and on the walls of Taiping City at the same time.

    Not to mention, Prince Zhang used Sanhao rockets to blow up the suspension bridge slings with thick arms. Although it was a bit whimsical, it did achieve results.  Although the soldiers were not injured much, the two hemp slings soaked in tung oil were actually broken by the Mihao rockets of the Qing army, and the suspension bridge fell to the ground with a crash.  Seeing this scene, cheers erupted in the Qing army, but Li Maozhu, Zhao Yansheng and others on the city wall looked at each other in dismay, and thought together: "Many dogs can also make three good rockets? Are you willing to waste it like this? But in  When the number of Miyoshi rockets is sufficient, they are really of practical value.¡±

    "Okay!" Prince Zhang cheered loudly, pointed at Erhene next to him, and shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Want to delay the battle? Why don't you let me go?"

    "Cover." Erhene bit the bullet and agreed, Pegasus rushed to his direct line team, waved the command flag and shouted, "Siege the city! Kill!"

    "Kill¡ª¡ª!" Amidst the resounding slogans, four thousand soldiers of the Qing army, including many cavalrymen who had dismounted from their horses, rushed to the distant city wall of Taiping Mansion with a simple flying ladder on their shoulders.

    "Don't fire guns yet! Don't let go of rockets!" At the same time, on the city wall of Taiping Mansion, Li Maozhuo, the commander of the Fatty Army's garrison, also shouted and issued an order, "Let the first team full of dogs rush to the city first, and wait for the first team full of dogs to rush to the city.  The second and third teams of dogs come up, and then the cannons and rockets!"

    "Kill¡ª!" Amid thunderous shouts, Ehena's siege team gradually rushed within three miles, and it was also the most powerful position of the Fat Army's rockets and cannons.  What made Erhene overjoyed was that the fat army on the city wall just fired a few scattered shots and released a few Mihao rockets, which caused him very small casualties, and also watched his team helplessly.  Rush to the vicinity of the city wall, rush from the suspension bridge to the foot of the city wall, and put the flying ladder on the city wall.

    At the same time, Mu Chenger led the Mu convoy to follow up, built temporary fortifications on the edge of the moat, and shot and fired arrows desperately to suppress the defenders on the city.  And even in such a critical situation, the bows and arrows and muskets fired by the soldiers of the Fat Man Army on the city wall were still scattered and pitifully sparse, which seriously exposed the weakness of the insufficient defenders in the city.

    Seeing this scene, Niyahan, Shu Shu and other generals of the Qing army were inevitably overjoyed, and they all thought together that our Lord Zhang is really the number one lucky general in the Qing Dynasty, and no matter where he fights, he will happen to encounter the enemy's lack of troops?  And our Lord Zhang was so happy that he jumped three feet high and shouted: "Niyahan, what are you still doing? Go right now! Shu Shu, you are also ready. Niyahan rushed to the moat, and you too  Rush now!"

    "Zhuman! Zhuman, you idiot! The demolition team is ready, follow Niyahan's back! This time you will remember it for me! There is only one urn in Taiping City! Two city gates!" (To be continued.

    "Kill! Kill! Kill! Break through Taiping City, and all brothers will be free for three days! Grab money, food, and women!"

    Amidst the arrogant yelling, the second wave of Qing troops led by Niyahan also charged towards Taipingfu City. At the same time, Erhene's team had already stepped on the flying ladder and began to climb towards the city wall.  However, the bows, arrows and muskets on the walls of Taiping Mansion are still sparse, but the number of sheep's head stones and wood that can be easily used by ordinary people is a bit exaggerated.  On the heads of the soldiers, the Qing soldiers were smashed and bloody, and they were turned on their backs. There was also golden juice made from excrement, croton, wolf's poison, etc., and it was poured under the city wall like money, scalding the flesh of the Qing soldiers.  Falling off, howling ghosts and howling wolves.

    In any case, from the analysis of the counterattack methods of the defenders of Taiping Mansion, as long as the generals of the Qing army with a little bit of battlefield experience can see that there are absolutely not many defenders in Taiping City¡ªat least there are absolutely not many regular troops, so it is very important for the operation  Bows and arrows, artillery and muskets, which require high technical and operational strength, are scarce. A large number of simple-to-operate sheep's head stones and Leimu were used to smash the soldiers under the city. It also proved that the fat soldiers on the city wall were not recruits, but they were famous  The cunning fat army brought in the common people and put on military uniforms to pretend to be soldiers!

    After discovering this, the morale of the Qing army was greatly boosted. Niyahan, who had serious doubts about the attack on Taiping City before, also swept away all his worries. He not only rushed to the front, but also kept shouting,  "Come on! Go! Wu Gou doesn't have many troops! Take the opportunity and charge!" The Qing army's demolition team also increased their confidence, sneaking behind Niyahan's team and running as fast as they could.

    "Rushing up the city wall!" New cheers came, the first batch of Qing soldiers rushed up the city wall on simple flying ladders, and the first triangular pseudo-dragon flag of the Qing army was also planted on the city wall of Taipingfu, and the following  Soldiers of the Qing army also flooded onto the city wall in an endless stream.  Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Qing army who were waiting in formation in the distance were naturally cheering, and the generals of the Qing army were all overjoyed, saying that they would be able to ascend the city in the first charge.

    "Shushu!" Our Lord Zhang yelled again.

    "Slave understands!" Without Prince Zhang's order, the former Guangzhou general Shu Shu immediately struck a thousand, stood up and rushed to the front of his direct line team without saying a word, shouting: "Brothers, break through Taiping City and enjoy yourself for three days!  Come with me!"

    "Kill¡ª!" The third wave of the Qing army siege team burst into slogans, followed Shushu's horse, and the meteor rushed towards the city wall of Taipingfu.

    "It's time." At the same time, on the city wall of Taiping Mansion, Li Mao, the fat man's guard, smiled slightly, raised his hand, and ordered lightly: "Beat the drums and fight back with all your strength!"

    "Boom, boom, boom!" The earth-shattering sound of war drums sounded on the city wall, and then, the even more earth-shattering roar of artillery also sounded on the city wall, and more than sixty shells of different sizes came out of their chambers, whistling and flying towards the densely packed city.  Qing army soldiers, thousands of Miyoshi rockets also shot from the city wall, and shot obliquely at the charging Qing army siege team.  At the same time, arrows and bullets shot out from the city wall like a torrential rain, shooting at the Qing soldiers under the city wall and far away from the city wall. The arrows and bullets were so dense that they completely blocked the noon sun, like  A dark cloud came over the heads of the Qing army.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Amidst the sound of violent explosions one after another, the generals of the Qing army were stunned to see that one by one their best and most skilled soldiers on the western front were smashed into pieces, and one after another flew into the air like broken bodies.  Falling far away like a string kite!  One after another, their main fighters were full of arrows, and one after another, their bodies were bleeding, and they fell into the pool of blood screaming and screaming, and a large piece fell down in an instant.

    What was even worse was the soldiers of the Qing army under the city wall. Not only arrows and bullets fell on their heads, but also grenades with blue smoke hit them like hailstones.  Blood and brains splashed together, screaming and screaming, and the simple ladder was knocked down by fat soldiers with giant logs. The Qing soldiers on the ladder fell down the city wall and fell into the moat in panic  The number of soldiers of the Qing army crowding the moat was countless, and the moat was scarlet, densely packed with corpses and wounded soldiers.  As for the dozens of soldiers from the Qing army who rushed up the city wall before, they were also chopped into countless pieces by the soldiers of the fat army who were suddenly killed by a large number of people, and all their flesh and blood were thrown under the city.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The fat army's bombardment was still firing violently and quickly. The red cannons with a long range were designed to bombard the artillery formations of the Qing army, and the mother and child cannons with a short range were designed to bomb the soldiers of the Qing army.  With skilled operation and the help of the fixed medicine kit, the Hongyi cannons of the Fatty Army completely silenced the Qing army's artillery team almost effortlessly.  horizontalIs it broken?  One hundred thousand taels of silver, hum.  "

    "Please ask the prince to make a price, and our general will try his best to satisfy it." Chen Rui quickly replied.

    "Two hundred thousand taels of silver!" Prince Zhang raised two fingers and said viciously, "And you have to pay first!"

    "My lord, can I pay half of it first?" Chen Rui asked cautiously: "It's not that we can't get it out, it's just that if you go back on your word, my lord, then we will lose my wife and lose my army."

    "He's someone who has read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Prince Zhang was overjoyed, but he snorted coldly and said, "Are you afraid that this king will not keep his word? Well, for the sake of your dog slave's attitude is still respectful."  , I allow you to pay half of it first! But be quick, the remaining one hundred thousand taels will be paid when Lu Yifeng's dog thief passes through Taipingfu City, if you dare to play tricks, hehe!"

    "My lord, our general is also famous for keeping his word." Chen Rui hurriedly hit the thousand and said flatteringly: "One hundred thousand taels of silver will be kept in front of the lord after dark tomorrow."  To be continued.

 Chapter 366: A Good Man Will Do It To The End

    ?

    The sky is gradually getting brighter, just as Zhuman reported to our Prince Zhang secretly. The sky is just dawning. Seeing that our Prince Zhang has not raised his tent, the Qing army headed by Niyahan, Shushu, Eqi and Mu Chenger  The generals came to the commander-in-chief together to ask for an audience, and begged our Lord Zhang to retreat immediately, so as not to be surrounded by the fat army and suffer even heavier losses.  The result was very natural and beyond the expectations of the generals of the Qing army, our Lord Zhang rejected this cowardly and cowardly escape plan, resolutely and resolutely decided to stand still and continue to attack Taiping City by looking for opportunities.

    "My lord, I'm sorry for my slave's blunt words. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to continue to stay in Taiping City." Niyahan insisted: "Taiping City's garrison has sufficient troops and complete fortifications.  However, our army is surrounded by Wugou in Taiping Mansion, Jiangning Mansion, Wuhu and Fanchang. The most correct choice if we miss a single hit is to flee away immediately.  Our army, then our army is in danger. I also hope that the prince will order the withdrawal of the army as soon as possible for the sake of the lives of the soldiers of the three armies."

    "I hope that the prince will order the withdrawal of the troops as soon as possible for the sake of the lives of the soldiers of the three armies." A dozen or so generals of the Qing army knelt down on one knee and clasped their fists to ask for orders.

    "Has this king ever said that he doesn't intend to think about the lives of the soldiers of the three armies?" Prince Zhang snorted coldly, and waved his hand and said, "I let the soldiers of the three armies stay here not only for the sake of their lives, but also for their future.  For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, it is even more for the sake of the Qing Dynasty! There is no need to persuade anyone, the king has made up his mind, the whole army will continue to stay here, hurry up and prepare the siege equipment, and wait for the opportunity to attack Taiping City again!"

    "My lord¡ª!" All the generals of the Qing army screamed together.

    "Shut up!" Prince Zhang slapped the table and shouted angrily, "Zhuman, tell these slaves, what is the first order to cut off?"

    Zhuman was a little hesitant, but seeing our Lord Zhang slapping the table and staring at him again, Zhuman, who was loyal to Lord Zhang, finally bit the bullet and replied: "Go back to Lord Zhang, you are the number one in the army.  Cut it off!"

    "Did you hear that?" Prince Zhang yelled viciously at all the generals: "It is my king's military order to stay under Taiping City. Anyone who disobeys and contradicts him will be executed immediately!"

    The generals of the Qing Dynasty had no choice but to agree honestly, not daring to persuade our Lord Zhang to retreat, but fortunately, Zhuman also suggested that Lord Zhang let the Qing army strengthen the camp and build temporary fortifications while rushing to build siege weapons  In case of a surprise attack by the fat army, our Lord Zhang could still listen to what Zhuman said, so he immediately agreed, and told the Qing army generals to follow the plan.

    Ever since, under the circumstances of the surrounding crisis, our Lord Zhang resolutely let the main force of the Qing army on the western front stand still under Taiping City, and went all out to build siege weapons, and also built temporary fortifications to stabilize the camp for a long time.  plan.  And the Fat Man Army team in Taipingfu City was also really afraid of our Great Qing God of War, Prince Zhang, and refused to step out of the city, let alone stop the Qing army from setting up camp. The two armies lived in peace for a while.

    Facing such a temporary calm situation, our heartless Prince Zhang is happy to be at ease, and doesn't have to worry about it.  The experienced generals such as Niyahan and Shu Shu became more and more worried and frightened, because almost two days and two nights passed from the evening of May 17th to the evening of May 19th.  No news came from the Erjin Army, and the scouts and secret agents sent to Fanchang to investigate the situation also fell silent, and none of them came back to report the situation. The generals of the Qing army were inevitably even more anxious, and faintly suspected that the situation in Fanchang was not good.

    In this way, the sky was completely dark, and when it was close to the second watch, the fat army envoy Chen Rui led a group of unarmed civilians, and sent a hundred thousand taels of silver to our Lord Zhang, and returned it to Lord Zhang.  The confidant Zhuman also brought a bag of jewels, and our Prince Zhang also received Chen Rui again.

    During the conversation, Prince Zhang had to imitate Sima Yi and asked Chen Rui about the current situation of the Fatty Army. Chen Rui truthfully replied that the recent situation of the Fatty Army was not very satisfactory. Except for the western front, the other three fronts were in a hard fight, especially the Yangzhou battlefield on the northern front.  The Chongming battlefield on the eastern front was in urgent need of reinforcements, so Chen Rui begged Prince Zhang to fulfill his promise not to prevent the Fatty Army from returning to Nanjing, and guaranteed that the remaining half would be delivered as promised, and there would be a big thank you afterwards.  Our Lord Zhang naturally agreed, patted his chest and promised to give way absolutely, and let Fatty Lu return to his teacher.

    In the end, Chen Rui tentatively asked Prince Zhang to withdraw his troops immediately and return to Ningguo Mansion, and proposed that if Prince Zhang withdrew his troops early, the fat army could also sponsor some money for Prince Zhang to repair the palace.  It's a pity that our Lord Zhang is not so stupid, and immediately snorted coldly: "Withdraw the troops immediately? This king immediately withdraws the troops, and the remaining one hundred thousand taels of silver, do I still want to get it? Go back and tell Lu Yifeng,  If you want this king to make way, you can bring the silver first! ?Resist!  When Wu Gou's main force is wiped out, this king will protect and confer you a title in front of the master!  "

    Ever since, under the ingenious instigation of Prince Zhang, the benefactor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the morale of the main force of the Qing army who failed to attack Taiping City soon rose again, and a few annoying flies such as Niyahan, Shushu and Mu Chenger were not here.  Urging Prince Zhang to retreat and flee for his life, he just waited patiently while rectifying the army, preparing to intercept the exhausted and ammunition-consuming Fatty's 'partial division'.  At the same time, the Fatty Army in Taiping City also closely monitored the movement of the main force of the Qing Army, and reported the movement of the main force of the Qing Army to Fatty Lu who was on his way back to the division at any time.

    In order to let the soldiers have time to rest and recover their strength, Fatty Lu walked back to Taiping Mansion from Fanchang more slowly than before. He set off from Fanchang on May 18th and returned to Wuhu City in the afternoon of May 19th.  After receiving the news that Prince Zhang still stood still, Fatty Lu resolutely rejected the suggestion of the generals of the Fatty Army to march overnight, let the main force of the Fatty Army rest in Wuhu for a night, and placed the wounded soldiers in Wuhu City for treatment.  Some troops were added to the city.  It wasn't until Maoshi in the early morning of May 20 that Lu Fatty led the main force of the 36,000 Fatty Army to set off from Wuhu to Taiping City, thirty miles away.

    Just after half of the hour, the Qing army scouts arranged by Prince Zhang to be in the Lianzigang area finally discovered the movement of the main force of the fat man's army, and immediately reported to Prince Zhang with a beacon signal.  And Lord Zhang finally took action, and immediately beat the drums and ordered the generals to tell the generals of the Qing army that the enemy was attacking, and also told the generals of the Qing army that the Fatty Army was returning to Taiping City day and night this time, and marched more than 100000000000000000000000000000000000DW in less than eight hours.  Baili was very tired up and down, and although the Qing army scouts hadn't had time to find out the strength of the fat man's army, there were definitely not many!  The generals of the Qing army once again believed it was true, their morale was even higher, and they called for a battle together to face this exhausted enemy.

    "Very good, as long as we all have confidence." Seeing the high morale of the generals of the Qing army, Prince Zhang couldn't help being very proud of his clever trick to boost morale, and shouted again: "All generals listen to orders!"

    "The last general is here!" All the generals of the Qing army clasped their fists together.

    "Leave 2,000 troops to guard the camp!" Prince Zhang shouted again: "The rest of the army, leave the camp and cross the Guxi River immediately, and rush to Mao'er Mountain, eight miles south of Taiping City, to intercept Wugou's reinforcements!  Annihilate this Wugou army with all your strength!"

    "The whole army crossed the Guxi River?" Several generals of the Qing army were taken aback, and quickly reminded: "My lord, the Guxi River is not a small river ditch, and the bridge across the river is covered by the bows and arrows of Taiping City."  , in case the battle is unfavorable and Wu Dog destroys our pontoon bridge again, then we"

    "But the Guxi River, how do we intercept Wugou Pianshi?" Prince Zhang asked angrily: "Wugou Taiping City has a water gate on the Guxi River. We just intercepted it by the Guxi River, and Wu Dog Pianshi entered Taiping directly through the water gate."  What about the city?"

    The generals of the Qing army thought about it, and when they were about to wonder if there were any omissions in the arrangement of Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang slapped the table and shouted: "What are you doing still in a daze? Immediately the whole army will leave the camp and cross the river. Wu Dog has arrived at Lianzi  Post, if you don't cross the river quickly, it will be too late! Send troops immediately, and anyone who delays the military opportunity will be killed immediately!"

    "Cover!" The generals of the Qing army summoned up their courage and clasped their fists in agreement.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 367

    ?

    "What? The main force of the manhunt has crossed the Guxi River? It's coming towards the official road of Taiping Mansion?!"

    Hearing the news that the main force of the Qing army crossed the Guxi River from the fat man's army scout, Lu Fatty was so surprised that he was a little dumbfounded, and even suspected that the fat man's army scout in front of him had been bought by the Qing army to deceive him on behalf of the prince.  After finally regaining his senses, Fatty Lu grabbed the hapless scout, shouted with ecstasy and asked, "Say, did you read it wrong? How could the main force of the dog cross the Guxi River and enter the river by itself?"  Jedi?"

    "Back to the general, even if the little people are blind, they won't misread such a big move by Mangou?" The fat army scout replied aggrievedly: "The little people can see clearly that the main force of Mangou is in the east of Taiping City."  There are four pontoon bridges built by Mangou, and the speed of crossing the river is very fast. After crossing the river, after a short assembly, the cavalry will come towards the official road immediately."

    Fatty Lu continued to be stunned. Yao Qisheng, Han Daren, Zhu Fangdan, Wang Xu and other fat military generals next to him were all dumbfounded and looked at each other, saying that they never expected such a big pie to fall from the sky.  In the end, it was the fat army scout who spoke timidly, which broke the silence of the scene, "General, do you have any orders?"

    "No, it's gone." Fatty Lu finally came back to his senses, and quickly waved his hands and said, "You guys are doing a good job, everyone will be rewarded! Go tell Kong Fanlin, each of your team will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and you will be rewarded."  Yes, continue to closely monitor every move of Mangou's main force." The fat army scout was overjoyed, saluted quickly, and then left happily.

    "Ride the fastest horse, and send an order to Li Jiyang immediately!" Fatty Lu grabbed a messenger and shouted: "Let our army sailors go eastward to the mouth of the Guxi River with all their strength, and select elite sailors to take a small boat with explosives and firewood."  Hehuoyou, destroy the four pontoon bridges full of dogs at all costs! This is a matter of whether our army can completely wipe out the main force of the dogs, only success is allowed, not failure!"

    "I got the order!" The orderly agreed, mounted his horse and galloped away.  Fatty Lu turned to Han Daren, Wang Xu and the others and shouted: "The rest of the generals, organize the team immediately, the soldiers are in the front, the artillery team is in the middle, the auxiliary army is in the rear, the cavalry protects the two wings, the whole army pays attention to keeping a distance, and advance slowly!  If you encounter an enemy, immediately line up on the spot!"

    "Decree!" The fat army generals clasped their fists together and agreed, and also rushed down to organize the team, letting the army move forward slowly in a combat posture.

    Fatty Lu looked up at the weather and found that although today is not cloudless, it is still sunny and the wind is light and the clouds are calm, which is the most favorable day for the army to fight. Finally, he looked at the surrounding terrain.  Apart from some hills, the surrounding area is surrounded by endless flat farmland, and rice was not planted due to the destruction caused by the war. The low shrubs and weeds seem to have laid a green blanket on the earth. The land is soft yet hard.  , is an ideal place for a large corps to fight, and it is also an ideal place for the fat army's sub-cannons, firing pin guns and Sanhao rockets to exert their power the most.

    "Prince Zhang, the only man I am embarrassed to kill is you!" Fatty Lu sighed.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Our Lu Sanhao was lamenting that if he allowed himself to kill Prince Zhang, he would be so heartless. At the same time, at the Niutomb Mountain Ferry next to the Qing army camp, our Prince Zhang was stamping his feet and cursing at the endless stream of  The Qing army team at Juedu River kept yelling, "Slave dogs! Hurry! Hurry up! If you let the Wu dog thief army run away, let's see how I will deal with you dog slaves!" The general of the Qing army who was crossing the river agreed and passed on the order.  Therefore, the already fast Qing army crossed the river even faster.

    "My lord, you only left 2,000 troops to guard the camp, isn't that too little?" Zhuman carefully reminded Prince Zhang in a low voice, "If Wu Gou encircles Wei to save Zhao, send troops from Taiping City to attack our camp.  , Aren¡¯t we going to be forced to retreat to the camp?¡±

    "Does Wu Gou dare to go out of the city to fight with this king?" Prince Zhang snorted triumphantly, "I forgot the last time we passed under the Taiping City, Wu Gou didn't even dare to shoot an arrow when he saw my king's banner.  What¡¯s more, I left all the twenty-six red barbarian cannons in the big camp, and there are camp fortifications to defend, so I¡¯m afraid that Wu Gou will come to surround Wei and rescue Zhao?¡±

    Zhu Man looked hesitant and wanted to persuade him again, but Prince Zhang had already shifted his attention to the pontoon bridge, and continued to shout and roar, urging the Qing army to cross the river as soon as possible.  After a while, the main force of the 34,000 Qing army crossed the Guxi River. After organizing the team in a hurry, Prince Zhang immediately shouted an order: "Go north at full speed, the target is Mao'er Mountain! We must grab it before Wugou!"  Arrived at Mao'er Mountain before, line up to block!"

    Prince Zhang¡¯s order was passed on quickly under the fast horse, and the hastily assembled Qing army also moved.The stinky sewage is flowing all over the ground, and the dirty blood is spilling all over the land of China, continuing to pollute this sacred land that has been guarded by the Chinese nation for five thousand years.

    Only the horses under the executioner's crotch are innocent. The Chinese nation is unfortunately neighbors of these barbaric aliens who only know how to plunder but not produce. Since the day they were born, they have been fighting life and death with barbaric aliens. They have been almost killed by barbaric aliens countless times  Extinct, but the Chinese nation has never surrendered!  Whether in the past, present, or future!  No matter how cruel and cunning the barbaric aliens are, how much they are favored and favored by those in power, and how their descendants dance with demons and occupy high positions, the bloody crimes they committed will one day be liquidated, double the liquidation!  Because, the Chinese nation will never surrender!

    What Fatty Lu did was to try his best to advance the date of liquidation, and to tell the whole world that the Chinese nation will never give in!

    "A big road leads to my house. My family lives at the foot of Liang Mountain. There are five acres of fertile land at the foot of the mountain. Five acres of fertile land. What can I plant? Who will remember my appearance? Who will remember the injuries I have suffered?  ? Whose desire is whose battlefield?"

    No one started, no one organized, the fat army's military song sounded in the fat army's ranks, the military song was so loud that even the sound of explosions could not cover it.  Amidst the resounding military song, the gunpowder smoke gradually dissipated, revealing a devastated battlefield, a battlefield full of corpses, and in just one stick of incense, the tens of thousands of cavalry were almost wiped out, most of them turned into incomplete blood.  Dyed corpses spread all over the battlefield, like laying a red carpet on the ground.  A few Qing army cavalry saw the opportunity quickly, pulled their horses and fled to the distance. Occasionally, a few Qing army cavalry rushed to the front of the fat man's army, and they were all knocked down by the fat man's rifle team. No one was spared, Niyahan  The last generals of the Qing army on the western front, such as Li, Eqi, and Mu Cheng'e, were all killed in battle.

    Seeing such a scene, the remnants of the traitors and green battalion soldiers of the Qing army around Maoer Mountain all stood there dumbfounded, as if they had been immobilized, and Prince Zhang, who had finally returned to reality, was also dumbfounded.  Looking at the battlefield, he remained motionless as if he was really stupid.

    Zhuman walked to Prince Zhang's side with heavy steps, stretched out his hand and pulled Prince Zhang's sleeve, just about to say something, who would have thought that Prince Zhang suddenly yelled, pushed Zhuman away, and snatched a kiss.  No matter how Zhu Man and the rest of the Qing army generals yelled, Prince Zhang refused to rein in the horse's head, and he just ran away desperately. The infantry formation of the Qing army was barely orderly.  Also messed up.

    "Mangou is in chaos and collapsed." Putting down the binoculars, Yao Qisheng reminded Fatty Lu: "General, Mangou's morale and morale have collapsed. It's time to attack."

    "Let's attack. The cavalry surrounds the two wings of the Mangou, and the infantry advances forward. Use a single Mihao rocket to blow up the formation of the Mangou infantry." Fatty Lu nodded, sighed again, and added: "Give me the general order.  Zhang Tai, the dog's coach, try to capture him alive, and if he surrenders, accept his surrender. I have helped us so many times, and I am really embarrassed to kill him again." (To be continued.

 Chapter 368: True Feelings on the Battlefield

    ?

    When the drums of the Fatty Army's general attack sounded, there was no need to bother the Fatty Army to do it. The more than 20,000 Qing infantry who had lost their unified command had already begun to collapse on their own.

    Here I have to thank Prince Zhang again. Although the main cavalry force of the Qing army on the western front has been basically wiped out, the main infantry force mainly composed of green battalion soldiers is still intact. Not only does it have more than 23,000 troops, most of them are Niya  John, Le Erjin and others painstakingly recruited veterans of many battles from Guangdong, Jiangxi, Anhui and other places, elite soldiers who crawled out of the dead, have rich battlefield experience, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.  The Qing army also used these traitors and green battalion soldiers as the main force to quell the San Francisco Rebellion.

    If Prince Zhang can use these elite soldiers well, there is still a great chance to retain some of his strength and escape. At worst, he can cause a lot of trouble for the fat army, causing many casualties and slowing down the pace of the fat army.  It's a pity that the reality is like this, no matter how good the cards in your hand, you can still play badly against third-rate players-our Lord Zhang actually chose to run away!  In this way, the remaining 20,000 Qing infantrymen could not panic or collapse even if they wanted to.

    All of a sudden, the fleeing soldiers of the Qing army were chaotic, people howling and horses neighing, no one cared about anyone else, no matter whether it was Lord Zhang's deputy, Zhu Man, or the only Mite Qing who had escaped from the cavalry battlefield, Shu Shu.  There was no way to control the situation anymore, no matter how they yelled, shouted orders to hold their ground, and even led the supervising team to kill deserters, there was no way to prevent the collapse of the Qing army.  As for the relatively capable generals of the Green Battalion Xu Zhen, Liu Jinbao, Zhou Zhixin, Yao Hongxin, and Li Gang, they could barely restrain their immediate troops from collapsing and being dispersed by their own deserters, but they could not stop Sumitomo  Army flees.

    On the contrary, the morale of the fat man's army was like a rainbow. The two cavalrymen Gao Hongchen and Itanbu on the left and right flanks took the lead in charging.  Also launched a charge, 800 soldiers rushed into the Qing army at the head of the formation, wielding Japanese swords to kill the enemy frantically, followed by the infantry brigade led by Han Daren himself, raining bows and arrows, bullets, machetes, spears and three good rockets  The hailstones fell on the heads of the Qing army, killing the infantry of the Qing army, crying and howling, and their corpses piled up like mountains.

    In the melee, the generals of the Qing army who had lost their unified command fought on their own, and each led their own troops to fight desperately. There was no cooperation and mutual support at all.  Like a wandering dragon, it rampages through the chaotic army, picking places where there are many Qing soldiers. When it rushes in, it is greeted with sabers like a storm.  The fragments forced the Qing army to accelerate its collapse.

    There is also the infantry of the Fat Man Army, whose formation is even more complete. Once they encounter the organized resistance of the Qing army, apart from anything else, they will open the way with a single Mihao rocket, and then the 800 soldiers, who are known as invincible in infantry combat, will take advantage of the momentum.  Entering the gap, slashing and killing the officers and soldiers of the Qing army who were blown up by the rockets, the fat infantry brigade behind poured into the gap in an endless stream, blasting the formation of the Qing army with neat battle formations and strong troops, forcing the Qing army to attack.  The soldiers fought on their own, and then chopped up the Qing soldiers who were alone into meat paste with more fights and less. In an instant, two Qing infantry phalanxes were dispersed.  Ear Mountain Battlefield.

    "Get closer! Get closer! Get closer to the Chinese army! Tie up the phalanx! Tie up the phalanx!" Shu Shu, the former Guangzhou general who was kicked out of Guangdong by Fatty Lu's brother-in-law Shang Zhixin before, yelled and tried his best to restrain the Qing army around him.  , while yelling with red eyes, "Child Zhangtai! I'll fuck your mother's 18th generation ancestor! You idiot! Idiot! Trash! The number one sinner of the Qing Dynasty!"

    No matter how much you scold, it's useless, Prince Zhang can't hear it, and even Shu Shu, who is almost wiped out by his lineage, can't turn around this defeat, even organize defeated soldiers to build an infantry that can barely stop the fat man's brigade  In the phalanx, Shu Shu is powerless at this meeting. No matter how much he shouts, the soldiers of the Qing army who have lost their fighting spirit just don't listen to his orders, and just keep fleeing towards the way they came.  Cry, but always helpless.

    "Kill all the dogs!" The thunderous shouts of killing approached unknowingly, a group of over 3,000 fat cavalry came from the flank, and rushed to the front in a short while, Shu Shu's personal soldiers quickly grabbed Shu Shu  But the cavalry of the fat army had already seen the radar antenna on Shu Shu's head, and shouts of joy also sounded from the cavalry of the fat army, "There is a big fish! It's a big dog!  Kill! Kill! Catch the living!"

    "I can't run away, prepare to die in battle." Seeing the fat army cavalry rushing in like a tide and instantly half-surrounding him, Shu Shu immediately understood that he couldn't run away no matter what he said, so Shu Shu pulled away with a whip  The soldier who holds the rein of his own horse, turn around.He fainted immediately after saying that, Xiao Erlang urgently ordered the soldiers to carry him down for rescue, and then hurriedly sent the Tang newspaper to Fatty Lu.  But Fatty Lu opened it for only one look, and immediately stood up abruptly.

    "General, what makes you so anxious?" Yao Qisheng asked quickly.

    "Emperor Mangou crossed the Yellow River and went south to the Yangzhou battlefield." Fatty Lu replied.

    "Has Emperor Mangou crossed the Yellow River?" Because of the time constraints, the fat man has not figured out why Kang Mazi did not rush to cross the river, so after hearing the news of Kang Mazi crossing the river, Yao Qisheng immediately beamed with joy and said happily: "Mangou  The emperor is finally willing to cross the river, and it just so happens that our Taiping Mansion Legion and Direct Line Legion are free to fight him to the death on the Yangzhou battlefield!"

    Fatty Lu didn't have a particularly happy expression, his heart was still beating almost out of his throat, and there was only one thought left in his mind, "Which plan should we implement? Do we want our compatriots or Kang Mazi's head?" (To be continued.  If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

 Chapter 369 Difficult Choice

    ?

    It was almost completely dark, and the large-scale battle on the Taiping Mansion battlefield was basically over. Only some diehards were still fighting on the hills with more favorable terrain, but they were still fighting with their arms, so there was nothing to worry about.  Get up, there are fat soldiers who are eager to get rewards for their meritorious service and will go to clean them up, so Fatty Lu didn't bother to stay on the battlefield any longer, so he simply ordered the headquarters to be moved into Taiping City, where he rested overnight and took care of the battlefield  aftermath issues.

    The moon was sparse, and the moonlight was as bright as day, allowing Fatty Lu to see the mountains of corpses on the battlefield, and also let Fatty Lu see the blood flowing into streams on the ground, the burning bushes and woods, and hear the dying wounds.  The low and painful groans of the soldiers among the corpses, the tragic neighing of the horses that lost their masters, and the sporadic screams of dying people can be heard sporadically.  Although it is not the first time to see such a scene, let alone the first time to hear such a voice, Fatty Lu lamented habitually, "Do evil, full of dogs do evil, if they don't resist, if they don't resist, we will  Is it necessary to kill so many people?"

    "As soon as the generals are successful, we will drive out the Tartars and restore China. I don't know how many more scenes like this we will see." Han Daren next to him also felt emotional, and comforted himself: "Fortunately, the dead  Some of them are full of dogs and traitors, no matter how much murder we commit, we can live with our conscience."

    "Yeah, fortunately, most of the dead were dogs and traitors. We can say that we have a clear conscience about how much murder we have committed." Fatty Lu sighed again, and said thoughtfully: "But if we have to sacrifice dozens  Is it worth the lives of the Wan Han people in exchange for such a big victory? Can you have a clear conscience?"

    "General, what do you mean?" Han Daren, who had been stationed in Taiping Mansion before, asked curiously.

    "I've always had an idea." Fatty Lu didn't hide anything from Han Daren, and said frankly: "I want to blow up the Gaojiayan in Hongze Lake, and use the flood in Hongze Lake to cut off the retreat and food supply of the main force on the Mangou North Line."  Dao, catch the turtle in the urn and wipe out the main force of Mangou's northern line, and strive to capture the emperor of Mangou first and capture the king first, but considering the hundreds of thousands of Huainan people, I can't bear it.  , I also refused."

    Han Daren was silent, and Fatty Lu asked Han Daren again: "Brother Daren, you said that I did this, is it a woman's benevolence? Or compassion? Is it right? Or is it wrong?"

    Han Daren continued to remain silent, and followed Fatty Lu's horse for another half a mile before Han Daren said slowly: "General, as far as I know, Mr. Shi Kefa Shige has also encountered your problem.  Man Gou Duoduo attacked Yangzhou, and the Yangzhou defenders knew that they were no match for Man Gou. Liu Zhaoji, the commander-in-chief, proposed this suggestion to Mr. Shi Ge. He dug up the Huai River embankment and Gaojiayan, and flooded Man Gou. However, Mr. Shi Ge considered  The common people refused. You know what happened later, the general, so I won¡¯t repeat it for the last general.¡±

    "Do you want to say that if Mr. Shi Ge did this back then, there might not be Ten Days in Yangzhou, dogs would not be able to cross the Yangtze River, and there would be no subsequent Jiangnan massacre?" Fatty Lu asked.

    Han Daren nodded silently, and said to himself: "The last general has another idea. If Mr. Shi Ge knew that Man Gou would kill so many of our Han compatriots after he captured Yangzhou, then Man Gou would kill so many of our Han people after he entered Jiangnan.  After massacring so many of our Han compatriots, I wonder if Elder Shi Ge would choose to save hundreds of thousands of Huainan people?"

    Fatty Lu was silent, and he also understood that Han Daren's implication was that he agreed to blow up the embankment, sacrifice the minority, and make the public happy, and use partial sacrifices in exchange for overall victory.  After another moment of silence, Fatty Lu said softly: "Brother Ren, I still have a question. Back then, I suggested that the prince blow up the embankment of thousands of people to flood Jingzhou with dogs. Why did the prince refuse? Emperor Mangou, why can't you hide your eyes?"  Digging up the embankment of the Yellow River without blinking, and flooding our Northern Expedition army?"

    "Because the prince is a Han, he has to consider our Han compatriots." Han Daren replied quickly this time, "Kang Mazi is a man of dogs, so he doesn't need to think about our Han compatriots. No matter how many of our Han people die, the man of the dog emperor will not blink  eyelid."

    "But we are also Han Chinese, you are, and so am I." Fatty Lu sighed again, looking up to the sky and sighing: "It's a dilemma. On the one hand, there are hundreds of thousands of compatriots, and on the other hand, there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill Emperor Mangou. What should I do?"  choose?"

    With this difficult choice, on the second day, Fatty Lu led the main force of more than 30,000 Fatty Army and Taipingfu Navy back to Nanjing, while Han Daren temporarily stayed in Taipingfu to deal with the aftermath of the Western Front, reorganizing prisoners of war and cleaning  On the battlefield, after three days of preparation, lead an army of 20,000 troops to Nanjing to join Fatty Lu, and join hands with Fatty Lu to rescue the most critical northern and eastern battlefields¡ªnow the elite main force of the Qing army on the western front has been fully recovered., the rear is unstable, and the situation is difficult to last, and now Geng Jingzhong has made it clear that he is taking advantage of the fire, and wants to take advantage of our army being attacked from all sides, and join forces with Mangou to fish some oil and water from our territory.  If we had repelled Mangou on the northern line and the main force had freed up to go south, Geng Jingzhong would have escaped faster than anyone else, and maybe he would have stabbed Mangou again from the back, and then begged us for peace with the cheek.  possible.  "

    "On the eastern front, the main force of our navy is very well preserved. The combined naval forces of the Mangou and Red-haired countries are just trying to harass our coastal areas. They will never dare to attack our hinterland.  Destruction, when you free your hands, it is easy to clean them up. So you proposed to put the main force into the northern front battlefield, which is very correct, and I think so too."

    "Then why does the general look so hesitant?" Yao Qisheng asked even more strangely.

    "What I'm hesitating about is, do I want the common people? Or the pockmarked head of Mangou Emperor Kang Mazi?" Fatty Lu said slowly: "The main force of our army goes north to the Yangzhou battlefield. It may be easy to defeat the main force on the northern front that defeated Mangou, but  It is extremely difficult to take the head of Emperor Mangou. The first is that the Mangou army will definitely protect Emperor Mangou at all costs. The second is that the goal of Emperor Mangou is too small, so it is easy to  Escape from birth¡ªthe only sure way to kill Emperor Mangou is that is the embankment."

    Yao Qisheng, Wang Shaobo and others dared not speak any more. They dared not open their mouths to encourage Fatty Lu to blow up the embankment, cutting off the main retreat of the Qing army, and falling into eternal infamy.

    It was so quiet for a long time, Fatty Lu shook his head, stood up and said: "Well, let me think about this matter again, let's make this arrangement first, one is to do our best to prepare for the Northern Expedition, and the other is to give tomorrow  Li Jiyang's Taiping Palace navy added 3,000 infantry and asked him to move to the south bank of Jiangyin. The river there is narrow and not conducive to the warships of the Red-haired Kingdom. It is a good place to prevent the enemy's navy from invading our hinterland. As long as we hold it, we will  You don¡¯t have to worry about the hinterland for the time being. As for the two dikes, let¡¯s talk about it slowly, we still have time.¡±

    Yao Qisheng agreed with Wang Shaobo and others, and left.  The preoccupied Fatty Lu also felt that he was exhausted, so he also stepped out of the signing room and returned to his study to rest.  Come out, stand in front of Fatty Lu, look at Fatty Lu coldly and don't speak.  Fatty Lu knew that the person who called for the payment of the public grain came, so he smiled wryly and begged for mercy: "Yu'er, I'm very tired."

    "Don't do this!" Lin Yu'er gritted her teeth and said, "I went there for half a month, and was emptied by a woman from Taiping Mansion. When I came back, I pretended to have business and sneaked into the signing room, so I didn't dare to see me, did I?"

    "The conscience of heaven and earth, I have never even touched a woman's hand in Taiping Mansion." Fatty Lu cried out.

    "Sophistry!" Ling Yu'er gritted her teeth even more and said, "You tell me, how long have you not been in my room? Do you think I'm old and ugly, and want to marry more younger ones?"

    "No, no, I'm afraid." Fatty Lu hurriedly shook his head desperately.

    "What are you afraid of? Afraid that I will eat you?" The blood vessels on Rong Yu'er Bainen's forehead began to congest.

    "I'm afraid of the wind!" Fatty Lu finally told the truth, "Kang Mazi's full dog has really bad luck in this area! If I accidentally get that kind of bad luck, I will lose everything."  It's over!"

    Fatty Lu told the truth this time. Among several important opponents in history, Kang Mazi, Oboi Yuzhong committed suicide, old traitor Wu died of a sudden stroke, and Zheng Jing was pissed to death by his own mother at the age of thirty-eight.  , Zheng Kezang, who could have taken over the banner of the Zheng family, was killed by his grandmother again, and Ge Erdan simply died on the belly of a woman out of nowhere. The shit is so lucky!  Now it was Fatty Lu's turn to stand opposite Kang Mazi and prepare for a life-and-death fight, and he couldn't afford to be careless.  (To be continued.

    ?

    The military situation was on fire, limited to the harsh situation on the third-line battlefield. After resting in Nanjing for two days, on May 25th, Fatty Lu personally led the main force of the Fatty Army to set off again, heading for Zhenjiang, where Li Guodong, the General Reserve of the Fatty Army, was located.  city.

    Unlike the 20,000 troops that were dispatched during the Western Expedition, this time the Fatty Army¡¯s troops set out from Nanjing alone exceeded 60,000 troops (including some troops that Fatty Lu brought from Taiping Mansion when the Western Expedition ended).  In addition, there are Han Daren's 20,000 troops (including the newly recruited prisoners) who are already on the way to the east, plus Li Guodong's navy with 15,000 people, and the Gaode Jie army in Yangzhou City with 26,000 people.  The Fatty Army's troops preparing to enter the Yangzhou battlefield this time accounted for two-thirds of the Jiangnan Fatty Army's strength, reaching an astonishing 120,000 or more!  It can be said to be the best of the best, betting on Fatty Lu's fat luck to fight to the death!

    Such a large-scale mobilization of the Fat Army's troops is naturally impossible to hide from the eyes of the Qing army's meticulous eyes¡ªeven if the Qing army's meticulous staff is like a certain nine-stream Internet writer called a wolf in later generations, he is super near-sighted,  It can be seen that the huge fat army team is like the white torrent, slowly flowing along the official road in the south of the Yangtze River, slowly but firmly passing through the villages, farmland, streams and woods in the south of the Yangtze River, dyeing the troubled Jiangnan land  A piece of white.

    ?On the broad Yangtze River, the large and small ships carrying fat military supplies and hanging white flags are like crucian carp crossing the river. They are densely packed and almost cover the river. They also dye the crystal clear Yangtze River into a piece of snow white.

    At the time of departure, Fatty Lu gave a speech to the 60,000 Fatty Army soldiers on the Nanjing campus, and told the Fatty Army soldiers in an unambiguous and discordant manner, "Soldiers, our expedition this time is not to plunder land, money and food.  , not to fight for promotion and wealth and personal interests, we are fighting for revenge! Thirty years ago, Manchu invaded Jiangnan, turning Jiangnan into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood, a hell on earth, where the Han sisters who bullied us have died.  Millions! The number of our Jiangnan compatriots who killed us is tens of millions! The people who plundered our Han people are worth hundreds of millions!"

    "Today, Man Gou is here again, and the Emperor Man Gou is here in person! The foreign devils who have hooked up with the Red Hair Country and the Raksha Country are here! They are coming to kill our compatriots again, and they are coming to humiliate our sisters, wives and daughters  It's time to come again to steal our land, money and food, and to turn our Jiangnan paradise into a hell on earth! Jiangnan is dangerous, and we are also very dangerous, but danger and opportunity coexist, because in this battle, our opponent is  The Mangou Emperor is the pockmarked Mangou Emperor whose hands are stained with the blood of our Han compatriots! If we can, if not, we will definitely be able to capture him alive, and we will be able to survive the danger. Our tens of millions of Jiangnan  The souls of our compatriots and tens of millions of Han compatriots all over the country can rest in peace!"

    "The emperor is full of dogs, avenge my Chinese compatriots! Take revenge, and China will win! Take revenge, and the Han people will win! Take revenge, and Great Zhou will win!"

    In the drizzle, 60,000 fat soldiers raised their swords and guns at the same time, as if a steel wall had risen from the land in the south of the Yangtze River, and the orderly and rhythmic shouts also resounded in the sky, "Revenge and hatred, China will win! Revenge and hatred, Han people  To avenge and hate, the Great Zhou must win! To avenge and hate, China must win! To avenge and hate, the Han people must win! To avenge and hate, the Great Zhou must win! To avenge and hate¡ª¡ª¡ª!¡±

    "Soldiers, look at the filial piety on your body, and you will be able to remember the blood that Mangou brought us to Jiangnan!"

    "Soldiers, look at the filial piety on your body, and you will be able to remember the suffering that Mangou brought us to China!"

    "Soldiers, look at the filial piety on your body, and you can remember that this time you are not only fighting for yourself, but also for the compatriots in the south of the Yangtze River! You are also fighting for the common people of China! Fighting for all the descendants of Yan and Huang¡ª  ¡ª!¡±

    Amidst Fatty Lu's hoarse shouts, the slogan of revenge and revenge also sounded over and over again in the Nanjing school grounds and the land in the south of the Yangtze River.  Hearing the angry and neat slogans, and seeing the fat army soldiers who were excited and excited, the frightened Mi Qing was naturally the first to send news to the Mi Qing army as quickly as possible.  The places where the fat army passed along the way, the secret agents of the Qing army lurking in these places were naturally the first to send the snowflake-like emergency documents to the Qing army and to the commander of the Yangzhou battlefield of the Qing army at the fastest speed  In front of Yue Le, it was sent to Kang Mazi who was actually still lurking in the Xiba camp north of the Yellow River.

    Relying on the advantage of the distance, Yue Le, the coach of the Southern Expedition of the Qing Army stationed outside Yangzhou City, naturally received the news that Lu Fatzi led the main force of the Fatty Army to the Yangzhou battlefield before Kang Mazi.  Yue Le, who had completely wiped out the intelligence of the Qing army, read this extremely urgent emergency document, his face was ashen, and he didn't say a word for a while. Tu Hai, Jie Shu, Shang Shan, and Dong Weiguo in the handsome tentTelling himself that he must persist in being cruel and vicious, "It is of course the best to capture Yangzhou City and defend it. If it is impossible to attack, my army suffered heavy casualties. The main force of Wu Dog arrived at the Yangzhou battlefield, and my army retreated northward."  No matter how cunning and treacherous that thief Lu Yifeng is, he probably would never have imagined that I am now attacking the city at any cost¡ªjust to lure him into chasing me to the floodplain!"

 Chapter 371 Fatty's Choice

    ?

    It is only 130 miles from Nanjing to Zhenjiang. Fatty Lu set off from Nanjing on May 25th and marched step by step. He arrived in Zhenjiang City at noon on the 27th and was stationed here  The Li Guodong Department of the General Reserve of the Fat Army Army joined forces, and immediately started preparations for the battle across the river.  On the night of the same day, Han Daren's army, who had marched all the way in a hurry, also arrived in Zhenjiang City and joined forces with Lu Fatzi and Li Guodong's army.

    At this point, all the fat troops preparing to go to the Yangzhou battlefield have all arrived at Zhenjiang Ferry, with a total strength of more than 96,000. The bonfire at Zhenjiang Ferry can't see the edge at a glance, reflecting the river bank in red, and flags and camps stand on the land  It is like a forest, stretching for ten miles, and the boats on the river are densely packed. It is like forming a water city on the Yangtze River. The air is full of rich meat, coriander, and the night wind is full of laughter. They are showing off everywhere.  The Fatty Army has strong military strength, strong financial resources, and high morale.  Seeing such a scene, feeling very proud, Fatty Lu held a military meeting overnight in the commander's tent to discuss the next battle plan.

    At the second quarter of Xu time, all the generals of the Fatty Army above the rank of lieutenant general arrived, and more than a hundred civil and military officials of the Fatty Army who participated in the meeting stood in the tents, greeting and playing with each other, laughing and laughing constantly, and all of them expressed their optimism for the decisive battle in Yangzhou.  Attitude, until Fatty Lu sat on the handsome chair with the fat that was almost gone, and announced the start of the meeting, all the generals of the fat man stopped laughing, knelt down on one knee to Fatty Lu, and saluted with fists cupped.

    "Generals, please stand up." Fatty Lu first greeted the generals, and then said with a smile: "Generals, I heard some of what you said just now in the back account, and I can see that everyone is very concerned about this.  I am full of confidence in a decisive battle in Yangzhou, and I believe that our army will surely win another big victory this time."

    "Of course." Hu Tongchun laughed and said, "We all know the situation of Mangou soldiers on the northern front.  They are several times stronger than them, except for the fact that we have more people. Our elite main force who has experienced many battles has arrived at the Yangzhou battlefield, and they are just catching bastards in a jar-handy!"

    "Brother Hu Tongchun is right." Han Daren echoed, "It's not that we underestimate the enemy. The northern front is indeed far worse than the western front, and even the southern front is worse. The main force of our army wants to deal with it.  They, that is really easy, without any discount." The generals of the fat man also echoed one after another, all of them dismissed the Manchu army on the northern front, and believed that their own army would definitely be able to make another glory, and defeat the Manchurian army in the first battle.  The main force of the dog north line.

    "I'm very pleased that everyone has such confidence and fighting spirit." Fatty Lu nodded in satisfaction, and asked again: "But I would like to ask all the generals, since everyone believes that our army will win, then our army will fill the northern front line completely."  How confident are you that the main force of the dogs will be wiped out? How sure are you that you will take the head of the Emperor Mangou on the Yangzhou battlefield?"

    "Annihilate the main force of Mangou? Take the head of the Emperor Mangou?" The fat man and the generals looked at each other in blank dismay, no longer daring to express an absolutely optimistic attitude.

    "If our army wants to achieve these two goals, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult." Li Guodong, who is highly respected in the fat army, said: "First, there are too many cavalry full of dogs.  Together, there are almost more than 40,000. Although we are not afraid of the cavalry full of dogs, because our army's cavalry is relatively scarce, even if we defeat the army of full dogs, it will be difficult to catch up and annihilate them all."

    "The second is the terrain." Wang Xu also said: "Although the north of Yangzhou is densely covered with lakes and rivers, which is not conducive to the battle of the Manchu cavalry brigade, but the terrain is relatively open, and it is more convenient for the Manchu cavalry to break up into pieces and retreat for their lives.  Even if our army penetrates to the back of the main force of Mangou, there is no ideal blocking position that can completely cut off Mangou's retreat. Mangou's light cavalry can bypass our blocking position and escape for their lives. It is still difficult for our army to take the northern line.  Hundreds of thousands of Man Gou will be wiped out. And the Man Gou Emperor's target is so small, if he disguises himself as a small group of ordinary soldiers to break through, our army will have to catch up with him or stop him, it will be purely luck."

    "That's the reason." Fatty Lu nodded again, and asked again: "Then I would like to ask you generals, in your opinion, our army has no chance of completely wiping out all the dogs in the northern clues? Is there any way to ensure the complete wiping out?"  The northern line is full of dogs?"

    The civil and military officials of Fatty's army started whispering, and Han Daren took a peek at Fatty Lu, knowing that Fatty Lu was taking the opportunity to test the attitude of the generals of Fatty's army on blowing up Gaojiayan, so he said: "General, finally!  There will be two ways to ensure the complete annihilation of Mangou on the northern line, and to ensure that the Emperor Mangou is captured to the greatest extent."

    "General Han, please tell me." Fatty Lu said calmly.

    "The first method." Han Daren said in a deep voice: "immediatelyIn the next two days and two nights of the battle, did Emperor Mangou show up under the city of Yangzhou?  Fatty Lu asked quickly again.

    "This, probably not." Gao Dejie replied hesitantly: "At that time, the fight was extremely fierce. I didn't pay attention to the situation of the Mangou Banner, and I don't know if the Mangou Emperor showed up."

    "Probably not." Wu Yonghua interjected: "I lead the supervisory team, and I have more free time. I have watched the Mangou Banner formation several times with binoculars, but I didn't see the Mangou Emperor appearing."

    Fatty Lu was stunned, and after a long while, Fatty Lu roared, "We've been tricked! Kang Mazi's full dog has never crossed the Yellow River! This time, he just came in a fake car!"

    "How is it possible?" The fat man exclaimed together.

    "I understand Kang Mazi's full dog!" Fatty Lu stomped his feet and roared, "The world's most vicious, cruel, insidious, conceited and shameless full dog! If he really comes to the battlefield in Yangzhou, he will come to the battlefield in person  On the front line, he declared that his bullshit benevolent government recruited you, and also boosted the morale of the Mangou army! But the Mangou Emperor did not show up, which proves that he never crossed the Yellow River! He never came to the Yangzhou battlefield at all!"

    "What if Emperor Mangou is greedy for life and afraid of death, and dare not go to the front line in person?" Wu Yonghua asked timidly.

    "Impossible!" Fatty Lu waved his fat hand resolutely, and roared decisively: "With the arrogant and narcissistic character of Emperor Mangou, it is impossible to be so greedy for life and afraid of death! Also, the Mangou army has not hesitated these days.  The fierce attack on Yangzhou at the price is clearly intended to break through Yangzhou and use the city of Yangzhou to compete with our main force. In this desperate situation, no matter how greedy the Emperor Mangou is, he will definitely show up in front of the battle and die.  Boost morale!"

    "Then what's the point of Emperor Mangou doing this?" Gao Dejie asked again: "Why doesn't he want to cross the river himself, why does he use a fake car to deceive us?"

    Fatty Lu didn't answer, and when he turned to look at Yao Qisheng, he saw that Yao Qisheng also had a solemn expression, and nodded to himself, indicating that he already understood the real intention of Kang Mazi's move.  Fatty Lu thought for a while, and then ordered: "Mr. Yao, immediately arrange for a fast boat to enter Hongze Lake, contact Li Ji's team lurking there, and let him carry out the original plan."

    "Students will arrange it immediately." Yao Qisheng quickly agreed, and then said hesitantly: "Just, I wonder if there is still hope to lure Emperor Mangou across the Yellow River?"

    "Let me think of a way." Fatty Lu tapped his temples with his fat fingers, and said in a deep thought: "It seems that the only thing that can be used at present is the arrogant psychology of Emperor Mangou."

 Chapter 372: The Flood (Part 1)

    ?

    On May 29th, at the right time in the morning, the main force of the Fatty Army started a full-scale pursuit of the main force of the Qing Army withdrawing from the north.  A mighty army of nearly 100,000 marched north along the canal by water and land, marching all the way to catch up with the main force of the Qing army that had withdrawn to the north at noon the previous day.  At the same time, Fatty Army General Gao Dejie was left by Fatty Lu in Yangzhou City to rest because the army was too exhausted and suffered too many casualties, and he was going to pursue him two days later.

    At the same time, the main force of the Qing army led by Yue Le fled desperately, and had already fled to Cheluo Town, south of Gaoyou City, to take a rest the night before.  Yue Le suggested that the main force of the Qing army had better withdraw through the Xinghua Canal first, and then rest assured.  However, Yue Le considered that the Qing army's troops had been attacking the city continuously for two days and two nights, and they were very tired up and down. At the same time, crossing the river at night was very dangerous.  So Yue Le finally rejected this suggestion, and just asked Dong Weiguo to lead an army to escort the grain and grass to the north first, to protect the precious grain and grass and withdraw first, and at the same time build more pontoon bridges on the Xinghua Canal to facilitate the Qing army to cross the river quickly.

    Fortunately, the pursuers of the Fatty Army did not go northward to Cheluo Town overnight, which gave the exhausted Qing army a few hours of precious rest time.  But for Yue Le and other Qing army commanders, the more fortunate ones are still behind. The scouts reported that Fatty Lu personally led the main force of the Fatty Army to the north to catch up.  However, he became suspicious and completely believed that the retreat of the Qing army was due to the heavy casualties under the city of Yangzhou, so he had to retreat north.

    Fortunately, after the bitter plan was successful, Yue Le quickly arranged a retreat plan, ordering the former army led by Dong Weiguo to retreat at full speed day and night, and try their best to transport the precious food and military supplies back to the Xiba Camp in the north of the Yellow River; the cavalry team was in the middle, and Yue Le personally  Leading and guarding Kang Mazi's fake Luanjia then went north; as for the task of the rear, Yue Le handed over to Fatty Lu's old friend Jie Shu, and asked him to lead the more than 10,000 troops brought from Chuzhou to the rear, and fight and retreat  Lure the main force of the Fatty Army to pursue them with all their strength¡ªthe more than 10,000 troops that Jie Shu brought from the western front are actually the most capable infantry troops in the Qing army at present.  Destroyed in World War I.

    In addition, Yue Le, who had no other choice, naturally had to send a fast horse first, and sent an order to his deputy Tu Hai and his son Sai Leng'er to destroy it immediately after reading it - wait for the main force of the Fat Man Army to cross Baoying County,  Approaching Huai'an City, do it immediately!

    Next, a spectacular pursuit and retreat began. From the sky bird, on the official road from Yangzhou to Huai'an, the Qing army with a strength of more than 60,000 troops was divided into three teams, and retreated northward with great strides.  , like a colorful flood flowing northward.  The fat man's army with a strength of nearly 100,000 was also divided into three teams, and they chased northward at the same speed and stride, like a pure white tide, galloping northward quickly and firmly.

    What puzzled Yue Le, Shang Shan, Jie Shu and the others was that although the Fatty Army went out with all their best and pursued with all their strength this time, the speed of chasing and killing the Qing Army was not fast.  At the same speed as the Qing army, the Qing army traveled 80 miles a day, while the fat army only chased 80 miles a day, and the Qing army traveled 60 miles a day, but the fat army only traveled 60 miles.  At a distance of ten miles away, he bit the tail of the Qing army's rear.  Moreover, there were no night raids, no surprise raids, and no active wars. Only when the rear of the Qing army turned around and took the initiative to meet the enemy, did the Fat Man fight with the rear of the Qing army, and beat the rear of the Qing army away.  Unhurriedly continue to chase behind the Qing army.

    This kind of pursuit method, especially the pursuit, is more like sending the Qing army out of the country and driving them out of the base area.

    At the beginning, Yue Le, Shang Shan and others were puzzled by Fatty Lu's weird pursuit strategy, but when they accidentally saw the lying yellow dragon on the map of northern Jiangsu, Yue Le, Shang Shan and others suddenly realized,  Then they yelled together again, "God damn Lu Yifeng's dog thief, he is really cunning and vicious, he must plan to use his strength when our main force crosses the Yellow River! Maybe he chased into the territory of Huai'an Mansion, this dog thief will most likely come back!"  Divide up and seize the Qinghe Ferry, completely cut off our escape route, and catch us!"

    After scolding Fatty Lu's treachery and viciousness, Yue Le was secretly happy, and said in his heart: "Since you, Lu Yifeng's bastard, are planning to chase after Huai'an Mansion and then exert your strength, this king just wants it. Waiting for you  When we arrived near Huai'an City, I tried my best to sacrifice my life for my country, and I also tried my best not to kill these tens of thousands of mobs. I would also drag you and your main force to die together! As long as you destroy the main force of your bastard, our Qing army may only be left  With 20,000 to 30,000 troops, there is hope to regain the entire Jiangnan!"

    &nbs"

    "Cover." Zhou Peigong replied more respectfully, and couldn't help but secretly smiled in his heart¡ª¡ªMaster, we are indeed the same as us.

    "Gaojiayan, Hongze Lake, it's all up to you." Kang Mazi looked back at the magnificent Gaojiayan dam again, and murmured in his heart: "Don't let me down, as long as you can drown  The main force of the Wu dog, drown that thief Lu Yifeng, even if you drown millions of barbarians, I will give you titles and new names!"

    Sadly, he returned to the Qinghe County Ferry, crossed the Yellow River in a chartered private boat, and returned to the camp west of the Xiba Ferry.  Delaying time would easily lead to rumors, so he led Zhou Peigong, Su Lun and other guards around the side door, preparing to quietly return to the real imperial camp where the false dragon flag was not displayed.

    Kang Mazi's wishful thinking was in vain. As soon as he approached the Qing army camp, a group of people rushed in front of the main gate of the Qing army camp. The leader was Prince Xian Danzhen, who was sent by the old witch of Xiaozhuang to monitor Kang Mazi.  Mazi couldn't help frowning, and whispered to the guards: "If Prince Xian asks about my whereabouts, just say that I will lead you to Andong (Lianshui) County for a walk."

    The guards and Zhou Peigong agreed, but to Kang Mazi's surprise, after Dan Zhen rushed to kowtow in front of him, he did not ask Kang Mazi on behalf of Xiaozhuang whether he crossed the Yellow River privately, but said in a hurry: "Master, something happened,  Half an hour ago, Cai Shiying, the Governor of Water Transport, and Yang Yingyao, the prefect of Huai'an, just sent people to escort a general of our Qing Dynasty who was once captured by the Wugou rebels.  Army, come to the Xiba camp to kowtow to the master, there is a secret report!"

    "Zhuman?" Kang Mazi was stunned, and suddenly remembered that he had heard of the name Zhuman, and also remembered that Zhuman, who was related to Oboi, was a general recommended by Zhangtai.  , also because of Zhuman's military exploits in Chizhou and Nanjing on the western front before Zhuman, he pinched his nose and canonized Zhuman as the capital.

    After thinking about it for a while, Kang Mazi suddenly remembered something more terrible, and asked in surprise: "What? Zhangtai asked Zhuman to come directly to the Xiba camp to see me? How could Zhangtai's dog slave know what I actually am?"  Is it in the Xiba camp?"

    Zhou Peigong's small face also turned pale all of a sudden, and after he finished speaking, Prince Zhang who was captured by Wu Dog knew that his master was actually in the Xiba camp.  Did not cross the Yellow River?

    "The slave doesn't know." Dan Zhen shook his head and said in a deep voice, "That slave Zhuman said that he would only report to the master when he saw him.  Immediately, it will cause disaster to Xiao Qiang, endangering the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of our Qing Dynasty, and the consequences will be disastrous!"

    "Enter the camp immediately!" Kang Mazi didn't hesitate, and immediately ordered to go back to the camp, and quickly ordered: "Bring that dog slave Zhuman into my imperial tent, and I will interrogate him myself."

    All the way into the big camp, and hurried into the imperial camp in the middle of the camp, Kang Mazi just wiped his face and changed into a fake dragon robe, and he said before that Zhuman had escorted the imperial tent, and Kang Mazi didn't even bother to eat  After taking a bite, he immediately led a group of trusted guards into the front tent, and the front tent was already full of fully armed Kang Mazi's trusted guards and Shanpu camp thugs, as well as close and trusted guards such as Dan Zhen, La Bu, Cai Yurong and Zhou Peigong.  They were all here, and in the middle of the imperial tent, there were six guards escorting a heavily tied strong man, dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, covered in dust, and there was a little blood on his face besides the dust, it could be seen that he had come a long way, obviously  I suffered a lot.

    "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." Everyone kowtowed together, Zhu Man saw the bright yellow fake dragon robe on Kang Mazi's body, and saw the crowd kowtow, he was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down on his knees, kowtowed and said:  "The guilty ministers are all covered with blue flags, kowtow to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

    "Huang Hai, step forward and identify it." Kang Mazi turned to a first-class guard next to him and shouted: "Look carefully, is he your relative Zhuman?"

    "Cover." Kang Mazi's confidant guard Guerjia Huang Hai agreed, and hurried forward to identify it.  Let me introduce here by the way, this Guerjia Huang Hai is also a member of Oboi's clan, but long before Oboi's downfall, he had already betrayed his clan and turned to Kang Mazi, acting as an insider for Kang Mazi to monitor the Aoboi party.  He also played a major role in Kang Mazi's downfall of the Aobai Party, so after the Aobai Party was completely overthrown, Kang Mazi purged the Guerjia guards in the guard team and expelled all the Guerjia guards from the guard team  , but this Huang Hai was left behind, and he was named a first-class bodyguard.

    Grabbing Zhuman's short hair that had been cut off from the braid, he lifted Zhuman's face to the sky, wiped off the blood stains on Zhuman's face and carefully identified it for a while, then Huang Hai turned to Kang Mazi and said: "Sign up, master, slave!"  I haven't seen this relative before, but I have met his father, Ehe Mahu, this person looks very similar to Ehe Mahu, so it must be true."

    "Very good." Kang Mazi nodded in satisfaction, waved Huang Hai away again, and then turned to Zhuman and shouted: "Bold dog slave, I will not avoid suspicion and designate you as the commander of Xianglan Banner.  Surrender to Wu Gou, what should I do?"

    "Master,?At this time, there was another dull thunder from the due west direction, which was exceptionally clear in the night sky. Kang Mazi couldn't help being even more surprised and puzzled, and murmured: "Could it be that Tu Hai did it? That's not right, Wu Gou  The main force should not have arrived in Huai'an so quickly? Also, Gaojiayan is directly south of the Xiba camp, so why does this sound seem to be coming from the west?"

    "The direction is wrong?" Zhou Peigong also screamed, but after careful calculation, Zhou Peigong collapsed on the ground and screamed frantically: "It's over! It's over! Lu Yifeng's bastard is so vicious and shameless!  Gaojiayan is useless! It is useless!"

    "What do you mean?" Kang Mazi turned to Zhou Peigong and asked in surprise.

    "Lu Yifeng is a thief, he blew up the north embankment of Hongze Lake!" Zhou Peigong's voice echoed in the Qing army camp like a night owl, howling crazily and desperately, "Hongze Lake!  To the north is a huge low-lying area, covering an area of ??hundreds of thousands of acres. There are only some farmland, barren mountains and wasteland, and there are no villages, towns and cities with many Han people! Lu Yifeng, a dog thief, blew up the north embankment of Hongze Lake, and the water of Hongze Lake  It will rush into that low-lying area, and a large lake (now Chengzi Lake) will be formed! The water level of Hongze Lake will also drop sharply!"

    "In this way, when Wu Dog's main force arrives in Huai'an, no matter what happens to Gaojiayan, the water of Hongze Lake will not be able to flood his army, and at most it will only create some difficulties for his march! God kill you, Lu Yifeng  You dog thief, you will really take great pains to prevent you Han barbarians from being swallowed by the flood!"

    "Then why are you still in a daze?" After he came to his senses, Kang Mazi yelled frantically again: "Immediately send someone to send an order to Tuhai to blow up the Gaojiayan!"

    "Master, blasting Gaojiayan at this time will not only not flood Wu Dog, but also cut off the retreat of our main force!" La Bu reminded with a scream.

    Kang Mazi's body shook, and he froze for a long time. After a long time, Kang Mazi also sat down on the ground, shouting hysterically: "God damn Lu Yifeng's bastard! God damn barbarian!"

    No matter how much Kang Mazi and Zhou Peigong scolded Fatty Lu for being cruel and vicious, it was useless.  The eight gaps in the embankment that had been blown up by the Fatty Army were blown away, and the huge gap of more than three miles was quickly rushed out.  The vortex rushed into the current Chengzi Lake, and the water level of the sparsely populated and barren area at that time, the dangerous Hongze Lake, also dropped rapidly

    Later, Chengzi Lake got another name, Fatty Lake.

    At the same time, in the Sizhou embankment area to the northwest of Hongze Lake, fat soldiers disguised as ordinary people were already waiting in battle on the Sizhou embankment where explosives had already been buried.  The water of Zehu Lake drops further.  In this way, although the farmland and villages in Sizhou Prefecture will inevitably suffer some losses, compared with the flooding of the Huaihe River with the explosion of Gaojiayan, it is more than a hundred times smaller.

    Note: There was no Chengzi Lake in the reign of Kang Mazi, and the specific terrain at that time is unknown, but there are indeed many low-lying places around Hongze Lake. In the 19th year of Kang Mazi, the breach of Hongze Lake engulfed the entire city of Sizhou at that time.  It can be seen that Hongze Lake definitely had the opportunity to dam the flood diversion at that time.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 374 All the way north

    ?

    In the early morning of the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, when the sky was twilight, the guards sent by Kang Mazi to the north bank of Hongze Lake to investigate the situation returned to the Xiba Camp, which also confirmed the truth guessed by Kang Mazi and Zhou Peigong. On the night of the third day of the fifth lunar month,  The Fat Man Army actually blew up the dam directly north of Hongze Lake and diverted the floodwater to the south of Taoyuan County, Huai'an Prefecture, which is sparsely populated. Now the south of Taoyuan County is a piece of Zeguo, with endless water, and there is a possibility of returning to the old path of the Yellow River. Hongze Lake  A large opening more than three miles wide was also washed out in the north, and the water level dropped rapidly, and it has dropped at least nearly eight feet so far.

    As the bad news continued, Kang Mazi delivered an order with a pockmarked face, ordering the main force of the Qing army led by Yue Le to go northward at full speed, and lure the main force of the fat army into the yellow flood zone as soon as possible, trying to use the water of Hongze Lake that had not yet retreated to slow down the pursuit of the fat army.  In the middle of the day, another bad news came from Taoyuan County. When the sky was just dawn, the Fatty Army blasted the northwest embankment of Hongze Lake to divert the flood water, diverting the water from Hongze Lake to the prefecture of Sizhou, Anhui!

    Although the population in that area is much denser than that in the south of Taoyuan County, and there are still two market towns, Bancheng Town and Qingyang Town, but because the Fat Man Army blew up the dam in advance to divert the flood in the current Chengzi Lake area, leading the high water level to rush into Chengzi Lake  , This will blow up the northwest dam of Hongze Lake again. The destructive power of the flood to Sizhou has been reduced by more than ten times, and the local people have more time to move to the highlands.  , but once again accelerated by more than double. It is estimated that by tonight at the most, the water level of Hongze Lake will drop by at least one foot and five.

    In this way, unless the main force of the Qing army led by Yue Le can immediately lure the main force of the Fatty Army to the Gaojiayan, the Qing army may hurt the Fatty Army by blowing up the Gaojiayan, but Yue Le's army just arrived last night  Baoying County is still a hundred and ten miles away from Huai'an City, so how can they lure the main force of the Fatty Army to Gaojiayan immediately?  If the Qing army blows up Gaojiayan at this meeting, besides cutting off the return route of its main force, what effect will it have?

    Faced with Fatty Lu's shameless and vicious embankment bombing and flood diversion tactics, Kang Mazi was so angry that he even thought about digging up the Yellow River South Dike hundreds of miles away in Huai'an, but in a hurry, Kang Mazi went there again to find so many manpower  Digging dikes, you can't mobilize the local Han people in Huai'an to dig?  Moreover, the Yellow River is now between the peach blossom flood and the late flood, and the flow of the river is not particularly large. This will explode the Yellow River channel. The damage to farmland water conservancy is certainly devastating, but for living people who can run and jump,  Especially for an army with a collective organization, it will not cause major harm.  So the only thing Kang Mazi could do was to hide in the Xiba camp and curse desperately.

    When Kang Mazi yelled, Zhou Peigong also looked gloomy and did not speak. The current situation is already obvious. Gaojiayan has lost its greatest threat, and Fatty Lu has made it clear that he wants to use the opportunity of the Qing army to cross the river to launch a general attack and wipe out at least  The main force of the Qing army was severely damaged, and in order to keep the main force of the Qing army led by Yue Le, the Qing court had only the last two options.

    "What method should I propose to the master? The first one must be sacrificed, and the second" Zhou Peigong thought about it, and looked at Kang Mazi who was yelling at Fatty Lu's eighteenth generation ancestor. Zhou Peigong still gave up on the second one.  He made a plan and clapped his hands to Kang Mazi and said: "Master, please calm down. We can talk about other things slowly. The most important thing right now is to withdraw the main force of our Qing Dynasty from the north bank of the Yellow River. This slave boldly proposes that the master should issue an order immediately, so that  The rear of our Qing army stopped retreating and organized defenses on the spot to buy time for the main cavalry of our Qing army to withdraw across the Yellow River."

    "Fart!" Kang Mazi suddenly slapped the fake dragon case, and roared with blood red mung bean eyes: "The most important thing right now is not to retreat! It's to attack! It's to chop off the head of that bastard Lu Yifeng,  Make me a chamber pot!"

    "Master, right now we" Zhou Peigong was taken aback, and was about to persuade him again, but Kang Mazi picked up the teacup from the Pseudo-Dragon case and threw it at him, which made Zhou Peigong's face bloom, and Zhou Peigong fell to his knees with his forehead on the ground.  No more daring to say anything.

    "Preach my will!" Kang Mazi yelled frantically: "The whole army will pull out their camps to cross the river and line up with their backs! I will fight to the death with Lu Yifeng's dog thief on the south bank of the Yellow River, and I will fight him to the death! I don't believe it, I will come to the front line in person  Commanding a decisive battle, my Qing army will definitely not be able to defeat that landed scholar!"

    "Master¡ª!" All the civil and military officials in the imperial tent were scared out of their wits, scrambling to kneel down together, shouting frantically: "Master, absolutely not!"

    "Shut up! I would rather be the emperor who dies in battle than the lord of peace!" The proud Kang Mazi roared again, "Those who are afraid of death don't have to cross the river! Anyone who dares to stop me from crossing the river, beheaded immediately!"

    "Master! You can't cross the river!" Prince Xian Danzhen stood up.

    "Shut up! One more wordy word, I will kill you immediately!" Kang said.?? request.

    Of course, Kang Mazi didn't want his running dog army to lose everything, and scolding Shang Shan was nothing more than venting his anger. When he was about to decide whether to send troops across the river or just send a ferry to meet him, he suddenly remembered  He raised a voice, and asked loudly with great dissatisfaction: "Hey, Emperor Manchu, did you forget me? I brought a letter written by General Lu Yifeng, the great general of the Great Zhou Zhengdong. Do you want me to wait here?  How much time?"

    "The envoy of Lu Yifeng's dog thief?" Kang Mazi finally remembered the existence of Li Ji, and hurriedly shouted: "Let that Wu dog envoy come in!"

    "Master, absolutely not!" Zhou Peigong jumped up and screamed with a pale face: "Master, Wu Gou's emissary can only be killed but not seen, this slave dares to take the head of the whole family as a guarantee, Lu Yifeng is a thief, this time  It must be playing tricks again!"

 Chapter 375

    ?

    (ps: The end of the month is coming, and it¡¯s time to ask friends for monthly tickets and rewards.)

    The situation was so critical that the over 60,000 Qing troops who had been defeated fled all the way north, and the nearly 100,000 main force of the Fat Man Army, with high morale and well-equipped equipment, also chased all the way north, biting the tail of the main force of the Qing army, and the Qing army did not let go.  In fact, there were only two options left for the army. One was Yue Le's request. The 16,000 fresh troops of the Qing army stationed in the Xiba camp crossed the river and tried their best to cover the main force of Yue Le's army to cross the river.

    In this way, the Qing army in the Xiba camp will wait for work at ease, and the overall casualties will definitely be less. However, the Qing army in the Xiba camp, which is composed of the Qianfeng Battalion and the Jianrui Battalion of Kang Mazi's direct relatives, will inevitably pay a heavy price and will seriously weaken it.  The strength of Kang Mazi's direct lineal relatives.

    The second method is not to send troops across the Yellow River, but to organize ferry boats to the south bank of the Yellow River to meet them. As a result of this arrangement, Kang Mazi's pro-army was unscathed, but the main force of the more than 60,000 Qing army led by Yue Le was bound to suffer heavy losses, or even lose  It is very possible to reach 70-80% of the population-more than 60,000 troops crossing the Yellow River is definitely not a joke!  Moreover, more than half of the more than 60,000 Qing troops are cavalry. Crossing the river with men and horses will definitely lengthen the time required for the Qing army to cross the river and increase the number of times the ferry goes back and forth.  Fatty Lu, who is like a jackal, has more loopholes to take advantage of!

    The nature and essence of the two methods are the same, both are to preserve the strength of the Qing army as much as possible and reduce losses as much as possible. The only difference is the amount of the loss and the loss of the army. Shang Shan, Labu and Zhou Peigong all understand this.  However, the pockmarked emperor, who is full of tricks and bragging, doesn't know how to pretend to understand, and even began to doubt the real purpose of Monk Yue Le's benevolence in asking for help.  Kang Mazi finally settled down and began to weigh the pros and cons, considering how to choose.

    But it is a pity that at this time, Li Ji, the envoy sent by Fatty Lu, intentionally or unintentionally asked Kang Mazi to meet him. Immediately afterwards, Zhou Peigong also jumped up, admonishing him nervously:  "Master, Wu Gou's emissary can only be killed but not seen. This slave dares to take the head of the whole family as a guarantee. Lu Yifeng's thief must be playing tricks again this time! Please do not meet with me, Master!"

    "Lu Yifeng, a low-ranking scholar, also wants to hide the superficial tricks of a thief from my eyes like lightning?" Kang Mazi snorted arrogantly, and shouted: "Bring the envoy of the Wu thief here!"

    "Cover!" The guard at the tent gate agreed, and waved his hand outside the tent again. Li Ji, who was much older than his actual age, was quickly escorted into the fake imperial tent. The white beard at the corner of his mouth was still stained with blood.  Obviously, because of the yell just now, Li Ji had already been beaten by Kang Mazi's guards.  However, even so, after Li Ji entered the imperial tent, he still held his head high and held his chest high. He insisted on not kneeling in front of Kang Mazi, and just stared at Kang Mazi with firm eyes.  Thieves, don't you kneel down when you see Long live today?!"

    "He is the emperor of your barbarians in Chizhou, not the emperor of our Han people. Why should I kneel to him?" Li Ji smiled contemptuously, and asked back: "Li Ji is an upright descendant of Yan and Huang, a Chinese Han, why should I kneel to you?"  The chief of the barbarians in Mite Province kneels down?"

    "Savage!" The two guards escorting Li Ji were furious, and they kicked Li Ji's knees together, causing Li Ji's knees to fall downwards, but after Li Ji staggered, he quickly  Standing firmly again, proudly raised his chest to look at Kang Mazi again, the two guards kicked again, Li Ji staggered and then tried to stand still, and repeated several times, the same thing, until two more guards came over, and they grabbed Li Ji.  Ji's arms, two stepped on Li Ji's calf, and pressed Li Ji's shoulders together, and then forced the white-haired Li Ji to kneel down.  But the more this happened, the more obvious the contemptuous smile on Li Ji's face became, and he smiled at Kang Mazi and said, "Pseudo-emperor of Mitezhou, that's all you have. If you have the ability, you will convince the Han people all over the world."  Kneeling in front of you?"

    "Master, this rebellious rebellion is violent and disrespectful. Please, my servant, push this rebel envoy out immediately, and execute him at three hundred and sixty knives!" Zhou Peigong kowtowed unbearably.

    Kang Mazi glanced at Zhou Peigong, did not speak, then turned to Li Ji and asked with a cold snort, "The traitor under the tent, please report your identity and name."

    "Han Li Ji, the son of Xu Xiake, is currently the director of Jiangnan Gongcao Division of the Great Zhou Dynasty!" Li Ji replied proudly.

    "Are you Xu Xiake's son?" Of course Kang Mazi had heard of Xu Xiake's name, and asked in surprise, "Since your father is Xu Xiake, why is your surname Li?"

    "This has nothing to do with you." Li Ji replied coldly, but he naturally found Kang Mazi's guards to beat him up.  Anger and hatred made Kang Mazi, who was used to seeing big scenes, a little terrified, and couldn't help but whisper in his heart.After camping, rushed to Xiba ferry, boarded the long-awaited Qing army ferry, then sailed across the turbulent Yellow River, and boarded the south bank of the Yellow River at Qinghe ferry to fight in line.  A person who boarded the south bank of the Yellow River.

    Relying on more than 800 large and small official boats and civilian boats assembled at Xiba Ferry in advance, it took less than two hours for all 16,000 Qing troops to cross the Yellow River. Kang Mazi immediately issued an order to let the Qing army  The soldiers scuttled and burned all the ships on the Yellow River, smashed all the iron cooking pots, followed Xiang Yu's example, and fought the fat man's army without leaving a way out!

    When the Qing army was tossing about burning boats, chiseling boats, and smashing pots, the front team of the Qing army led by Dong Weiguo had also arrived at the Qinghe Ferry, and also brought some cargo.  Kang Mazi immediately ordered all the ships to dock, unload the food and supplies, and then destroy and burn them all. Seeing that Kang Mazi personally ordered it, Dong Weiguo did not dare to disobey the order, so he had to follow the order.  At this time, on the official road to the south, another team came¡ªthe team of Cai Shiying, the governor of the Qing Dynasty Water Transport stationed in Huai'an, and a hardcore old traitor.

    Seeing Cai Shiying being led in front of him, Kang Mazi was startled for a while, and quickly asked: "You are not guarding the city of Huai'an, what are you doing here?"

    "Slave, slave" Cai Shiying also never dreamed that he would meet Kang Mazi at the Qinghe Ferry. She was so frightened that she didn't know what to say. It took a while to recover, and she kowtowed and said, "Slave."  I heard that the master crossed the Yellow River and was going to fight Wu Gou to the death, so the servant came here to escort him."

    "Escort?" Kang Mazi stared, pointed at the convoy brought by Cai Shiying and shouted: "Since you are here to escort, why do you bring these carriages here? Why are there still boxes and silks on the carriages?"

    Cai Shiying was speechless, Kang Mazi kicked him on the chest, and yelled: "You dog slave, did you hear that the main force of the Wu dog came to Huai'an, so you learned from your son Cai Yurong, and brought him with you.  Did Jinyinruan cross the river and escape for his life?"

    "The slave deserves to die, the slave deserves to die, I beg the master to spare my life, I beg the master to spare my life." Cai Shiying's intentions were seen through by Kang Mazi, and he could only kowtow desperately to beg for mercy.

    Kang Mazi was angry and funny, kicked Cai Shiying again, and shouted: "Go to your son, all the property will be confiscated!"

    "Ah!" Zhou Peigong suddenly screamed heart-piercingly, rushed to Cai Shiying's old traitor, grabbed the old traitor by the collar and lifted him up, roaring and asking: "In Huai'an City, now  How many defenders are there? Are the officials and generals defending the city reliable?!"

    "Probably, there are more than 1,000 people." Cai Shiying replied respectfully: "Of the more than 5,000 soldiers of the slaves before, 4,000 were transferred to this Qinghe Ferry to steer the master's army, and 1,000 were borrowed by Mr. Tu.  That's it, the rest of the slaves have been brought in for the master to listen to. Now in Huai'an City, there are still more than a thousand Green Battalion soldiers under the command of the prefect Yang Yingyao and the guard Wu Zhan."

    "Ah!" Zhou Peigong screamed again, turned to Kang Mazi and shouted: "Master, please send an army to Huai'an City to take over the city defense! Now this city is almost empty  Huai'an City will decide the outcome of the entire battle!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    At the same time, on the official road from Baoying to Huai'an, Fatty Lu, who was out of breath after chasing the main force of the Qing army, also called Wu Yonghua, the general of the Yangzhou Corps, and shouted to him, panting heavily.  : "You, lead 3,000 troops to Huai'an City, and recruit the Mangou officials and Mangou guards there. Now our main force is less than ten miles away from Huai'an City, and Huai'an City must be in chaos.  I hope that Huai'an City will be surrendered."

    "General, please don't worry. When smuggling salt, silk, and tea, the last general has already established a line with Wu Zhan, the garrison there. The relationship is still good, and he should be sure to surrender." Wu Yonghua agreed without hesitation, and was puzzled.  He asked: "However, General, we are about to arrive at Qinghe Ferry and fight Mangou. What's the use of surrendering Huai'an City right away? Even the traitorous Green Battalion soldiers there have the guts to stab us in the back?"

    "You pighead!" Fatty Lu cursed, "Man Gou still has more than 10,000 troops in the Xiba camp, if the Emperor Man Gou sends this elite army to cross the river for a decisive battle, our main force will be exhausted from the hasty march, and none of them will be safe  How do you rest your footing?"

    Wu Yonghua suddenly realized, and hurriedly clasped his fists in his arms and agreed, leading 3,000 infantry forward and rushed to the south gate of Huai'an, which was already seven or eight miles away.  But no one expected that on the Huai'an battlefield that determined the fate of the main force of the Qing army and the main force of the Fatty Army, and even determined the direction of the whole world, it was not Fatty Lu, the coach of the Fatty Army, nor the supreme chief of the Qing Dynasty who would decide the final outcome.  Mazi Tadi, but a ten-thousand-year soy sauce man that no one has noticed before, who served as a fifth-rank official in the Qing court and secretly colluded with the Fat Army-Huai'an Garrison Wu Zhan.

 Chapter 376: No Good Fatty

    ?

    Just like what Fatty Lu said, the city of Huai'an at the same time was indeed in chaos.  I saw Qing army forward Dong Weiguo's team rushing under the city of Huai'an, not even daring to enter the city. They rushed directly from the official road to the east of Huai'an and the canal to the west.  The fish that slipped through the net, the soldiers and civilians in Huai'an who were already opening the city gate to welcome Dong Weiguo into the city, were all terrified, knowing that the danger must be approaching.

    Immediately afterwards, torches all over the mountains and plains appeared on the official road to the south, and a larger number of Qing army fleeing for their lives appeared. The Qing army's central brigade led by Yue Le also arrived.  The mixed Qing Army's Central Army Brigade has long been out of formation, and the ones rushing to the front are the traitorous troops who fight the most fiercely and also escape the fastest.  Chaotic and chaotic like a group of flies, many of the treacherous cavalry's horseshoes were still stained with blood from friendly soldiers. It was obvious that many Qing infantry cavalry soldiers were trampled to death on the way to escape.

    Immediately after the Qing army infantry who were also out of formation, many infantrymen were still carrying stretchers, carrying wounded Qing army generals and companions on their backs.  He swaggered away on the road, fleeing frantically all the way north.  Then there are mite cavalry who are barely maintaining their formation, led by Yue Le himself, but they still don't enter Huai'an City, they just go around the city, and at the same time, the white flag of the Fat Man Army has also appeared in the sight of Huai'an defenders  .

    Seeing such a scene, Yang Yingyao, the magistrate of Huai'an, and Wu Zhan, the garrison of Huai'an, who hurried to the south gate to meet the friendly army, were inevitably frightened. After hastily closing the South Gate of Huai'an and pulling up the suspension bridge, Yang Yingyao and Wu Zhan hurried to the governor's office of water transport,  Ask Cai Shiying, the highest official in Huai'an City, for advice on countermeasures, but Yang Yingyao and Wu Zhan are inevitably stunned again when they go to the Yamen of the Governor of Water Transport.  He had already opened the north gate of Huai'an and fled northward with his wife, concubine, and gold and silver treasures!

    "Old stuff! Old country thief! Don't die!" Yang Yingyao turned to Wu Zhan and shouted, "Wu Shoubei, from now on, you sit at the south gate of Huai'an.  Stand firm! I will command from the center and organize the people in the city to serve as your backup!"

    "Your Majesty, the situation has come to this point, can Huai'an be defended?" Wu Zhan said with a pale face, "All the troops of Prince An have fled, and there are only more than 1,200 green battalion soldiers and more than 500 township soldiers in Huai'an city."  Yong, what are you going to do to defend Huai'an?"

    "If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!" Yang Yingyao stomped her feet and shouted righteously: "You and I share the imperial salary, and we are honored by the emperor. No matter how dangerous Huai'an is now, you and I have to defend the city and wait for reinforcements.  The city is alive and the people are alive, the city is dead and the people are dead! Even if you fight to the last soldier, you must not surrender against the bandits. It is better to have the jade broken than the tile!"

    Yang Yingyao, who always liked to deduct the military salaries of the village warriors and resell the military rations, suddenly became so righteous and impassioned. Wu Zhan felt a little ashamed of his illegal activities of secretly colluding with fat army smugglers and smugglers for more than a year. He immediately knelt down to Yang Yingyao,  Cupping his hands and clasping his fists, he said, "Since the magistrate said so, then Wu Zhan will lose his life in Huai'an at worst. Please don't worry, magistrate. As long as Wu Zhan is alive, Wu Gou will never even think about stepping into Huai'an!"

    Prefect Yang was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Wu Zhan again and again. Wu Zhan didn't say much, and immediately returned to Huai'an city wall, restrained the soldiers to organize the team, and prepared to meet the siege from the fat army. According to Wu Zhan's estimation, the fat army was so fast.  Marching at full speed, the team must not have time to carry siege weapons. No matter how small the defenders in Huai'an City are, they can at least block the fat man's footsteps for a day or two!

    While directing the soldiers to sort out and collect the weapons for defending the city, a servant from the Huai'an magistrate's yamen suddenly rushed up to the Huai'an South Gate city wall, came to Wu Zhan and saluted and said, "Report to General Wu, the magistrate asked the villain to report to you, and he suddenly  I remembered that there were more than 10,000 taels of imperial military pay in the treasury of Huai'an, and my Qing army stationed in the Xiba camp to resist Wu Dog's victory over the river would inevitably require a large amount of military pay, so the magistrate has already brought the pay  The account is as much as two hundred taels of silver, disguised as ordinary people and left the city from the north gate of Huai'an, and went to the Xiba camp to pay the salary, and then the defense of Huai'an city is all entrusted to you, General Wu."

    Wu Zhan almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood. After a while, he jumped to his feet and yelled, "Old man Yang Yingyao, I'll fuck your mother's eighteenth generation ancestor!"

    "General Wu, what should we do?" Ji Huai, Wu Zhan's deputy next to him, asked tremblingly: "Wu Gou is less than five miles away from Huai'an, and our little people are not enough for Wu Gou's army."

    "Fuck it!" Wu Zhan just moved slightlyThey were all silent, and the morale and fighting spirit that Kang Mazi had worked so hard to boost before was swept away in this instant.

    "Our Great Qing may only have the last three hours." Zhou Peigong sighed quietly in his heart.

    At the same time, on the Huai'an city tower, Fatty Lu beckoned all the generals to the front, and ordered in a low voice: "Let the soldiers take the time to rest, eat and drink enough, and leave the city for a decisive battle in two and a half hours. Then send the fast boat  Go south, go 20 miles south to contact Han Daren's team who is resting there, let him also march in two and a half hours, and rush to the city of Huai'an for reinforcements."

    "Two and a half hours?" The fatty generals looked at each other and asked together: "General, didn't you just say three hours?"

    "You pigheads?" Fatty Lu cursed: "I'm insane or stupid to be faithful to Emperor Mangou?!" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com)  Vote for recommendation votes, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation.) (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com

 Chapter 377: Fat Hemp Decisive Battle (Part 1)

    ?

    Three hours, converted to the current time, is six hours. Six hours is not long, but it is still enough for a normal human being to eat and drink enough, solve some normal physiological problems, and complete three normal sleep cycles.  Sufficient - this point, for well-trained soldiers, five hours is enough.

    For the army that urgently needs to rest and reorganize after marching ninety miles, these few hours are more precious than gold. Not only can the soldiers get time to rest, but they can also take the opportunity to reorganize and reorganize the team to restore the army to the maximum extent.  Maximum fighting power.

    In fact, for fat soldiers who have experienced many battles, marching ninety miles in a hurry will indeed cause huge physical exertion, but it does not mean that the soldiers of the fat army can no longer fight, nor do they have the guts to face the spoiled Fengtai under Kang Mazi  Army, Miyun Army, Shanpu Battalion and Qianfeng Battalion pro-army, not to mention that they are not sure of winning the final victory. The only difference is the difference in the length of time spent, the efficiency of annihilating the enemy, and the casualties of the own army-Kang Mazi may not care about these differences.  But Fatty Lu couldn't help but care.

    So there is no other way, I clearly saw that the supreme chief of Miqing, who has a blood feud with the Chinese nation, is outside Huai'an city, and I also clearly saw that since the first day I came to this era, I swore to cut him into pieces  Kang Mazi was just outside Huai'an City, and Fatty Lu could only temporarily suppress his nervousness and excitement, and ordered the soldiers of the Fatty Army to rest in Huai'an City for two and a half hours before leaving the city to fight Kang Mazi to the death.  .  As for the city defense of Huai'an when the main force of the Fatty Army was resting, it was temporarily handed over by Fatty Lu to Wu Yonghua's team that had been rested earlier and the newly surrendered Wu Zhan's team.

    Fortunately, the new force of the Qing army marching from the Qinghe Ferry also did not carry siege weapons. Even if Kang Mazi was so stupid that he let the Qing soldiers come to attack the city with a ladder, a small number of fat troops could still easily repel them.

    The sun gradually climbed into the sky, and the soldiers of the Fatty Army fell asleep on both sides of the streets in Huai'an City in a disorganized manner.  When the fat soldiers wake up, they can eat hot meals, and the air is filled with the aroma of vegetables and rice.  Although he hadn't closed his eyes all day and night, and felt exhausted, Fatty Lu couldn't close his eyes and fall asleep. He sat on the steps of the east gate tower in Huai'an, staring at the Qing army outside the city in a daze, and also looked at Wuli  Wai Kang Mazi's precious fan Longfan was in a daze.

    Looking at it, I don't know how long it took, two tears suddenly leaked from Fatty Lu's pair of small mung bean eyes, and slowly flowed down his thinning cheeks, and then the tears flowed into lines, dripping on the skirt of his clothes,  Beat the white skirt on the chest until it's wet.  In the end, Fatty Lu could no longer restrain the emotions in his heart, and simply hid his face in public and cried bitterly, crying until tears gushed like a fountain, and he couldn't cry.

    "General, what's wrong with you? What happened to cry so sadly?"

    Wu Yonghua, the fat man who accompanied him, was shocked, and hurried over to ask why Lu was crying, but Xiao Erlang, who was next to him, grabbed him and said in a low voice: "General Wu, leave him alone, let my young master cry for a while."  Bar."

    Wu Yonghua looked at Fatty Lu and Xiao Erlang in surprise, and asked in a low voice, "General Xiao, what happened to the general? Why are you crying like this?"

    Xiao Erlang wanted to answer, but when he opened his mouth, his eye circles turned red, and two tears also flowed out.  On the other side, Fatty Lu and another old lackey, Wang Shaobo, came up and said to Wu Yonghua in a low voice: "General Wu, let the general cry for a while. He has been waiting for this day for seven years. During this period, he has spent all his efforts and efforts.  Hard work is beyond the imagination of any outsider, and the day he has dreamed of has finally come, and it is normal to cry."

    Wu Yonghua suddenly realized, stepped aside and stopped talking.  Fatty Lu had already heard what Wang Shaobo said, and he remembered the details of how he came to this era, how he went from being a seventh-rank donated official to today, and the sacrifices and painstaking efforts he had made for this day.  Thinking of how many times I have brushed shoulders with death for this day, and even more of the compatriots who sacrificed for this day, the anti-Qing righteous soldiers, and unknown soldiers, I couldn¡¯t help being more emotional, hammering on the steps and choking and shouting, "It's worth it!"  ! Wait until this day! I have suffered, I have suffered, I have worked hard, I have worked hard, I have sacrificed! I am worth it! Fuck it! I am worth it! I am worth it¡ª¡ª!"

    Before he finished speaking, Fatty Lu hugged his head and cried frantically again in front of the entire army, venting all the grievances and pressure he had endured in the past seven years, while the surrounding fatty soldiers watched silently.  Fatty Lu was weeping bitterly, and couldn't help but have red eye circles one after another, and tears welled up one after another

    "Kang Mazi, you did the crime yourself.The unevenness, even the four thousand soldiers who belonged to Cai Shiying, the governor of the water transportation, were all dragged by Kang Mazi to make up for it.

    Just after the first quarter of the hour, the Fatty Army in Huai'an City began to assemble and wait for orders. There were 56,000 infantry and 12,000 cavalry in total.  Putting filial piety on the body, reminding the soldiers not to forget who they are fighting for. The soldiers of the fat army held their heads high and kept their chests high, keeping in mind Fatty Lu's instructions.

    At the same time, Kang Mazi resolutely rejected the proposal to immediately feed the soldiers of the Qing army and feed the horses with fodder, and chose to give a speech to the entire Qing army first, publicizing the numerous crimes of Lu Fatzi and the Fatty Army¡¯s massacre of four surnamed bannermen, and encouraging the Qing army  The soldiers bravely killed the thieves, and avenged the blood and hatred for the bannermen of the four surnames and the subjects of the Qing Dynasty who were poisoned by the fat army!  Then Kang Mazi beheaded Cai Shiying, a hardcore old traitor who had fled from the city, and Yang Yingyao, the prefect of Huai'an, in front of the hungry Qing soldiers, and passed the heads to the three armies to enforce military discipline.

    There was also Qing army general Dong Weiguo who boldly reminded Kang Mazi that he hoped that Kang Mazi could feed the soldiers of the Qing army as soon as possible in case of emergency, even if it was rough dry food, he would feed the soldiers of the Qing army first.  , shouted viciously and asked: "Why are you in a hurry, you will have time to eat! Erhan people eat three meals a day and drink alcohol at night. I eat two meals a day. If Erhan people can do this, one day's food can be enough for two meals."  , but why not?"

    (Kang Mazi's original words are from "Qing Barnyard Banknotes". The background of Kang Mazi's words is that there is no rain for a long time, the people are famine, and the local officials ask for relief. Kang Mazi blames the Han people for eating too much, and asks the Han people to eat a day  Save food by eating only two meals.)

    In the next moment, the heads of Cai Shiying and Yang Yingyao were passed on to the three armies, and after finally finishing the stinky and long speech, Kang Mazi finally showed mercy and gave dry food to the soldiers.  While appreciating the dried steamed buns, there was a sudden sound of a trumpet in Huai'an City in the distance. Immediately afterwards, the suspension bridge at the east gate of Huai'an fell to the ground, and the city gate opened wide.  At the same time, the north gate of Huai'an was also opened, and another group of fat cavalry also rushed out from the north gate, circled a large circle along the moat, and rushed towards the east gate.

    "Why did Wu Dog leave the city?" Seeing the fat man's army leaving the city for a decisive battle at this critical moment, Kang Mazi's small mung bean eyes were once again bigger than a bull's eye, and he howled like a pig: "What time is it now? Wu  Why is the dog out of town now?"

    "Back to master, it's two quarters before the hour!" La Bu replied holding a pocket watch that he paid tribute to.

    "Two hours before the hour?!" Kang Mazi almost fainted, and yelled crazily, "How is it possible? How is it possible? Lu Yifeng's bastard, didn't he say that he would leave the city for a decisive battle after three hours?  Out?!"

    Zhou Peigong, Tu Hai, Dong Weiguo, Shang Shan, La Bu, and Cai Yurong, who had already suffered countless losses from Fatty Lu, looked at each other, and all had the urge to cry, and said together, "My good master, Lu Yifeng is a dog thief!"  If you believe everything, you just wait to be cheated to death by him!"

    "Formation! Formation! Formation immediately!" Kang Mazi, who was once again being played by Fatty Lu as a monkey, went crazy again, screaming wildly with red eyes, "Formation according to the established plan, and fight Wu Dog to the death! With Lu Yifeng  Dog thief! Fight to the death¡ª¡ª!" (To be continued.

    (ps: There are only a few hours left in May, ask for the last monthly pass in May and book a monthly pass for June.)

    "Quick! Quick! Form the formation! The first team of the Mongolian Eight Banners, the second team of the Mite Prefecture Eight Banners! The third team of infantry! Quick! Wu Gou is about to kill¡ª!"

    Amidst Kang Mazi's hysterical roar, the soldiers of the Qing army, who were still hungry so far, started to move, complaining secretly, sighing, or frowning, pressing Kang Mazi and the Qing army willingly or unwillingly.  At the request of the general, he strode to his position and lined up to meet the enemy.

    The infantry of the Qing army is fine. Kang Mazi asked them to hide in the safest third team. They are not easy to be hurt by the fat army and can escape for their lives. Of course, the infantry of the Qing army is happy;  Since they are loyal and are in the relatively safe second team, they naturally don't have any objections.  But the traitorous cavalry who were arranged by Kang Mazi in the most dangerous first team were not happy. Chahun, Ezier, Durbert, Ombu, Zashbatur and Norbu Bandi were raped.  Tai Ji came to Kang Mazi to kowtow and complain, begging Kang Mazi to rearrange the queue and arrange the treacherous cavalry composed of only married sons to a safe position.

    "Ridiculous!" Kang Mazi, who originally planned to use the traitorous cavalry as cannon fodder, of course could not agree to the request of the traitors, and furiously said, "Is there any reason to temporarily adjust the formation before the battle? Go to the formation immediately!  If the military plane is delayed, whoever it is will be beheaded immediately!"

    "My lords, have you forgotten the honor of the Mongolian cavalry? Why are you following the example of the Han dog to choose the fat and be timid?" Zhou Peigong also stood up and said loudly: "In the era of Genghis Khan, the Mongolian cavalry swept the world and was invincible.  , Wasn¡¯t the Mongolian cavalry fighting for the first place? How many years have passed, why don¡¯t you even have the courage to stand in front of Wu Gou? Have you forgotten that you are the descendants of Canglang Bailu and Genghis Khan?¡±

    "Your Majesty, it's not that the slaves dare not stand in Wugou." Chahun and the others treacherous Taiji explained, sweating profusely: "It's just the cavalry of the slaves who marched more than a hundred miles in a hurry yesterday. The soldiers and horses  They are all very tired, the soldiers have not had time to eat, and the horses have not had time to feed their fodder"

    "Don't be wordy!" Kang Mazi stared at him, and said angrily: "The cavalrymen of the Eight Banners of Mongolia didn't eat and rest, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Mite Prefecture did eat and rest again? Go and line up for me immediately! Lang Qin, you lead  Shanpuying will bring swords and axes to serve as the supervising team, and anyone who retreats before the battle or does not obey orders will be killed immediately!"

    "Cover!" Lang Qin Daqian agreed, and flew on his horse to form a supervisory team. Here, Chahun waited for the traitor Taiji to have no choice but to run back to the team dejectedly, commanding and ordering the traitorous cavalry to line up in front of the formation.  A typical treacherous cavalry formation consisting of ten horizontal teams, each with 2,000 men, one mile wide and one and a half miles thick, prepared a large number of bows and arrows and axes, and prepared to adopt the most typical Mongolian Mangu evil tactics and  Fatty Army contends.

    When the Qing army was busy setting up the formation, the main infantry of the Fat Man Army had already left the city in large numbers. With the back of Huai¡¯an City, Zhou Peigong¡¯s expected crane wing formation was laid out.  The phalanx, and then these small phalanxes form a huge phalanx. The fat man¡¯s magic weapon, the Sanhao rocket and the mother and child cannon, were pushed to the forefront from the very beginning. The black hole muzzle and the shining arrows all pointed to the Qing army.  front.

    Step by step, step by step, the formation of the Qing army has just taken shape, but the fat man has already established a solid position four miles away from them.  ¡ª¡ªThis is also the only advantage of the Qing army.  Fatty Lu led Yao Qisheng, Wang Shaobo and other confidant staff to the high platform temporarily built under the Fatty Army's banner, and commanded the battle in Huai'an from a high position.  Surprised: "Is Kang Mazi crazy? It's fine to arrange a long snake formation with the weakest offensive and defensive forces, and put the only cavalry in the front and the infantry in the back?"

    "Boss, you hit the spot." Wang Shaobo said excitedly: "Emperor Mangou is indeed a fool who doesn't know how to pretend to understand military affairs. He put all the ace cavalry at the forefront, which is just convenient for our three good rockets to explode.  !"

    "General, Mr. Uncle Shao, don't be too happy." Yao Qisheng saw something strange, and quickly reminded: "Man Gou's one-word long snake formation looks stupid, but in fact it has murderous intentions, and it just happened to target us.  weakness."

    If Fatty Lu realized something, Wang Shaobo was surprised and asked: "What did Master Yao say? What weakness is Mangou targeting us?"

    "Understood, Mangou probably guessed that our three good rockets may not be enough." Fatty Lu snapped his fingers and explained for Yao Qisheng: "Our army is still fighting on the fourth front.?? advantage, as well as the temporary rush to repair the row of fragile horse fences, and the low morale of the treacherous soldiers,

    Looking at the Sanhao rockets with less than 4,000 pieces left, and looking at the Qing army cavalry still occupying a numerical advantage in the distance, Fatty Lu couldn't help but muttered: "This battle is definitely not as easy as imagined."  , as long as Kang Mazi is smart enough, even if our army can win in the end, the casualties will not be too small."

    Not only Fatty Lu saw this, a messenger hurried up to Fatty Lu, clasped his fists on his horse and said: "General, General Gao Hongchen on the right wing, please order, I hope his right wing cavalry will attack and go round to charge the dogs."  On the flanks of this formation, share the pressure for the Chinese army!"

    "Attack the enemy's strengths with his own weaknesses, thanks to him coming up with such a bad idea!" Fatty Lu snorted coldly, and shouted: "Go back and tell Gao Hongchen to let him wait. If you want to catch the emperor, there are many opportunities. There is no order.  The cavalry is not allowed to mobilize a single soldier, and those who disobey the order will be killed immediately!"

    The messenger agreed, and rushed back to answer Gao Hongchen, while Yao Qisheng next to him frowned and said: "General, even if our cavalry on both wings does not move, as long as Emperor Mangou is smart enough, he will definitely send infantry to attack our army's two wings.  Consuming and restraining our army's cavalry, the traitorous cavalry rushed to the front of our army's central army with all their strength, forming a momentum of confrontation, and then Mangou's most elite Eight Banners cavalry looked for an opportunity to attack and create a murderous opportunity."

    Fatty Lu didn't answer, and after a long while he said viciously: "Let's waste it, we still have Han Daren's 20,000 troops rushing towards the battlefield with all their strength, and we can reach the battlefield in an hour at most, as long as our central army can bite the full force  The cavalry of the dogs will prevent them from rushing forward, and Han Daren will attack us back and forth, and the battle will be won!"

    At the same time, under the banner of the Qing army, as the gunpowder smoke gradually cleared, many treacherous cavalry rushed to the front of the fat man's army. Zhou Peigong rushed to Kang Mazi like crazy and kowtowed desperately, cheering wildly: "Master!  , You are truly blessed! The number of Wu Gou¡¯s three good rockets is already much smaller than the slaves imagined! In this battle, we still have a chance! We, the Qing Dynasty, still have hope!¡±

    "How to say?" Kang Mazi, who was furious that half of the treacherous cavalry dared not charge forward, asked in surprise.

    "Master, please look, our Qing Mongolian cavalry has rushed to the front of Wugou's formation!" Zhou Peigong pointed to the front of the fat man's army, and said with a wild smile: "If Wugou's three good rockets are sufficient, let alone 20,000 cavalry  Even 100,000 cavalry could not reach the front of the Wugou formation! But our Mongolian cavalry only rushed halfway, and more than 2,000 people rushed to the front of the Wugou formation. This is enough to prove that the number of Wugou's three good rockets is seriously insufficient  Already! Our cavalry still has the advantage, and we still have hope of victory in this battle!"

    "That makes sense." Kang Mazi nodded decently, and asked again: "Then how should we fight next?"

    "All the infantry are dispatched and divided into two teams!" Zhou Peigong yelled frantically: "Outflank Wugou's wings from left to right, bite Wugou's few cavalry, and bite them no matter how much it costs! Our Eight Banners cavalry of the Qing Dynasty continued  Stand still and look for opportunities!"

    "Also, please give me the golden command arrow, master!" Zhou Peigong kowtowed vigorously and said: "The slave will hold the master's command arrow and go to the remaining Mongolian cavalry team to boost their morale for the master, and reorganize them to launch an assault!  They are going to bite Wu Gou's infantry brigade! Create a fighter for our Eight Banners cavalry!"

    Since crossing the Yellow River, Kang Mazi finally made an extremely correct decision, that is, immediately took out the golden command arrow with the words "like me in person" and handed it to Zhou Peigong without saying a word. Zhou Peigong was very excited  With tears streaming down his face, he took the golden arrow with both hands and kowtowed heavily to Kang Mazi, then scrambled and rushed towards the traitorous army in front.

    In front of the fat army's central army, the treacherous cavalry could no longer withstand the fat army's counterattack. Although the horn bows in their hands could easily shoot eighty meters, the fat army's muskets could not be found after sixty or seventy meters.  Accurate head, where the guns flew, even the Fatty Army's musketeers didn't know it, but there were so many muskets that couldn't stand the Fatty Army, and they couldn't hold up the Fatty Army's strong bows that could also shoot 80 meters.  Thousands of muskets of various types plus thousands of strong bows, the bullets and arrowheads were as dense as hail and raindrops. The raped soldiers, basically composed of only married sons, still shouted and couldn't hold back, and the fat soldiers who fell from time to time  The mother-child cannon shells, and the treacherous cavalry, who were even more overwhelmed, naturally began to retreat steadily.

    Seeing such a scene from a distance, Zhou Peigong couldn't help feeling anxious¡ªit was the first time since the Battle of Anshun that the Qing army's cavalry broke through the Wu army's rocket blockade and rushed to the front of the Wu army's formation.  I am so sorry for my ancestors and my kind.  At that moment, Zhou Peigong did not hesitate, and asked Kang Mazi to send a supervisory team to the front to supervise the formation, while holding Kang Mazi's golden arrow in both hands, rushing towards the front of the Qing army.  Cavalry.

    When he got to the traitorous team and took a closer look, Zhou Peigong quickly found that these traitorous cavalry were not charged.  Still arguing with Lang Tan, the first-class bodyguard who supervised the battle, he insisted that the fat man's weapon was too sharp, and the treacherous cavalry's charge was just suicide and death in vain, and asked to meet Kang Mazi to discuss and adjust tactics; Lang Qin didn't dare to offend too much  These traitorous Taiji, who were basically related to the wild boar skin family, did not dare to disobey Kang Mazi's will, so they could only desperately persuade the traitor Taiji to charge immediately, arguing bitterly.  Zhou Peigong was even more anxious, he rushed up and yelled at the golden arrow, "By holy order¡ª!"

    "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." The slave education of the Qing court was also excellent in brainwashing the treacherous army. When several treacherous Taiji saw the golden arrow, they quickly gave up their disputes and knelt down and kowtowed together.

    "My lords, the servants are here to speak on behalf of the master." Zhou Peigong said loudly: "I will not talk too much nonsense, the servants just want to tell you one thing, yes, you are now timid in the battle, you choose to run for your life or even choose to fight to the death.  Wu Gou surrendered, you can indeed keep your sex! But have you ever thought about it, if you surrender to Wu Gou, the Qing Dynasty is defeated this time, can you keep your glory, wealth and your beautiful wives and concubines?"

    "Mongol lords, you all know very well that besides cattle, sheep and wild horses, what else can the Mongolian grassland produce?" Zhou Peigong continued to ask loudly: "The food you eat, the tea bricks you drink, and the silk and satin you wear.  The gold, silver and jewels you wear, and even the iron arrowheads you use to shoot wild sheep and rabbits, didn¡¯t they come from the Han people? Didn¡¯t the Qing court snatch them for you from the Han dogs? If the Qing Dynasty was defeated,  Who would give it to you for nothing? Exchange your cattle, sheep, and horses for Han dogs? But if you exchange them for Han dogs with big cattle, sheep and horses, is it worthwhile to directly grab them from Han dogs?"

    Speaking of this, Zhou Peigong paused for a moment, and then asked several treacherous Taijis: "Mongol princes, please think about it, if the Qing Dynasty was defeated and the Han Dog regained the world, would the Han Dog Emperor  Will he give you the taxes and property he collected from the Han Dog people? Will the Han Dog Emperor marry his daughters and sisters to you? Did the Han Dog Emperor of the Ming Dynasty marry a princess or princess to you?  Mongolian princes? Did you give any of you glory and wealth? The former Ming and Han dogs gave you nothing except for several Northern Expeditions, murder and arson on the Mongolian grasslands, which brought you endless suffering? But our Qing court  , and how did you treat you? Your Fujin wife, which one is not a noble daughter from our clan in the Qing Dynasty?"

    "Mongolian princes, your lips are dead and your teeth are cold!" Zhou Peigong's voice was choked with tears, and he said in a crying voice: "We have more than two million people in Mianzhou and Mongolia, but there are tens of millions of Han dogs."  , if we Mitezhou people and Mongols are separated, it will be like a handful of pepper noodles. If we throw it into the sea, there will be nothing. Can we not unite? You have also seen that the Han dog Lu Yifeng is going to fight in filial piety this time. He is  For whom? It is for those Han dogs who were killed when we entered the Qing Dynasty, and we muster up all our energy to avenge those Han dogs!"

    "When we entered the Qing Dynasty, did your Mongolian Eight Banners kill fewer Han dogs? If we finished the Qing Dynasty, would you be able to escape? That dog thief Lu Yifeng, whose heart is darker than coal and more poisonous than a poisonous snake, would let him go.  Have you the princes of the Eight Banners of Mongolia? Will you let off the sons-in-law of the Aixinjueluo family?!"

    Speaking of this, Zhou Peigong also asked a few MongolianThe good rockets have been severely weakened, and only a total of more than 9,000 traitorous cavalry actually rushed in front of the fat army. Although the traitorous cavalry took advantage of archery and condescension against the infantry of the fat army, as the battle continued, the casualties increased rapidly.  The increase, the huge consumption of soldiers and horses' physical strength, and the weakness of the insufficient strength of the traitorous cavalry are gradually exposed. It is difficult to cause fatal danger to multiple fat army phalanxes at the same time.  No matter how old and cunning, no matter how experienced, he can only suggest that the traitors should concentrate their remaining troops to besiege Yao Yi's phalanx, fight as many as possible, and cause casualties to the fat army as much as possible.

    Seeing the tiredness of the raped team, Fatty Lu looked at the left wing of his own army and found that most of the infantry of the Qing army led by Cai Yurong had penetrated into the middle of the inner and outer lines of the fat man's army.  The phalanx is surrounded by dog ??infantry, close the door and beat the dog!"

    The flag was played, and the left wing of the Fatty Army immediately changed formation. The second and fourth squares moved closer to each other, while the first and fifth squares moved diagonally inward, joining forces with the inner line to encircle Cai Yurong's army on all sides, and the speed was not slow.  Cai Yurong, a die-hard traitor with rich experience in the battlefield, found that the situation was not right, and it was too late to break out of the encirclement. In desperation, he had no choice but to order the troops to move closer to him, and hastily formed a circle to resist the attacks of the fat army from all directions. At the same time, he sent messengers to Kang Mazi.  call for help.

    The encirclement was formed almost in an instant. The fat infantry surrounded Cai Yurong's team with knives, knives and arrows, fighting frantically. Most of the infantry of the Qing army who were separated from the encirclement were the soldiers left by the hard-core old traitor Cai Shiying to his son.  Bullying the common people and eating cards on the canal are handy, but charging into the battle is seeing that the bloody legs are weak.

    As a friend said, Fatty Lu's military advisor Yao Qisheng and Kang Mazi's military advisor Zhou Peigong are indeed equal opponents, but the two army commanders, Fatty Lu and Kang Mazi, differ in terms of impromptu command and tactical arrangements.  It's not just one and a half.  Seeing that the treacherous cavalry's attack was blocked, and receiving the news that Cai Yurong's army had been locked up and beaten by the fat army, Kang Mazi couldn't hold his breath anymore, and roared: "The Qing cavalry obey the order, all the Qing cavalry will attack with all their strength!  Target, the Wugou infantry formation is frontal!"

    "Master! No way!"

    Zhou Peigong jumped out to stop him again, but Kang Mazi lashed Zhou Peigong's face with a horsewhip on the horse, causing Zhou Peigong's face to bloom, and his handsome face was destroyed on the spot. Kang Mazi shouted with bloodshot eyes: "What the hell are you?  Eat my salary, or Lu Yifeng's salary? This is our last chance to kill Lu Yifeng's thief alive in the Qing Dynasty. You still come to stop me, are you afraid that I will cut Lu Yifeng's thief?  I gave you money in the dark?"

    After withdrawing Zhou Peigong, Kang Mazi drew his sword and pointed at the front of the fat man's army and roared, "Shanpuying and Qianfengying leave escorts, Labu and Shangshan, you two lead all the Qing cavalry to charge! Take Lu Yifeng  Heads of dog thieves, I will make you Prince Heshuo! I will reward you with double salaries! You will be rewarded with twelve East Pearls!"

    "What are you still doing in a daze? If you don't obey the order, you will be killed immediately!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 380 Bloody Sunset

    ?

    (ps: Shout again, ask for a monthly pass!)

    "Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, go! Wu Gou can't hold on anymore!"

    "Athletes of the Eight Banners, let's go! All the rockets that Wu Gou used to survive have been fired!"

    "Warriors of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, go! Victory is in sight, avenge our Eight Banners soldiers who were killed by Wu Gou in the Qing Dynasty! Don't destroy Wu Gou, and swear not to return to court!!"

    Unable to bear the pressure of Kang Mazi, La Bu and Shang Shan, two hapless slaves, had no choice but to lead the remaining 15,000 Qing cavalry to charge towards the infantry phalanx of the fat army with the door open.  After the last elite of the Mite Qing army was thrown into battle by Kang Mazi, there were only more than a hundred guards, three hundred soldiers from the Shanpu Battalion, less than 900 soldiers from the Vanguard Battalion, and some civilian officials left around Kang Mazi.  And the more than 400 Russian Musketeers that survived on the Yangzhou battlefield, the total strength is less than 2,000. Although the Qing army is still all cavalry, the Russian Musketeers still have some ammunition, but the defense against Kang Mazi has been weakened.  To the point of appalling.

    To make matters worse, although the guards around Kang Mazi and the warriors in the Shanpu Camp and the Qianfeng Camp are all selected warriors from the Eight Banners of Hanmeng, they are brave and loyal to Kang Mazi, well-equipped and rigorously trained.  However, they have never had the experience of forming a large-scale battle. On the battlefield of life and death where thousands of troops are battling with swords and guns, whether they can withstand the impact and siege of Fat Junqiu Balao Youtiao, except for the military idiot Kang Mazi, all  The generals of the Qing army have no idea!

    "Boss! Mangou's last cavalry finally moved!" Wang Shaobo beside Fatty Lu cheered, and quickly suggested: "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill Mangou Emperor. Shouldn't we send a signal for a general attack?"

    "Don't worry, the full dog cavalry has just started to move. At this time of the general attack, they still have a chance to cover Kang Mazi's escape." Fatty Lu calmly rejected Wang Shaobo's proposal, and when he put down the binoculars to look under the commander's stage, Fatty Lu  Can't help laughing¡ª¡ªWang Xu, Hu Tongchun, and An Jiarong, the three infantry generals, have long been looking forward to it under the commander's stage, looking at Fatty Lu with hunger and thirst.

    "Wang Xu listens to the order." Fatty Lu smiled and ordered: "Take your three phalanxes, go, and block the cavalry with all your strength."

    "Decree!" Wang Xuzai immediately clasped his fists in his arms and agreed, and the joyful Pegasus went to the rear to command the troops to attack, but Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong jumped up together, and Hu Tongchun shouted: "General, the last general's team is on the second line  , why do you want Wang Xu, who is at the back, to go first?"

    "Uncle, my nephew's team is in the central army, and it is easier to mobilize than Uncle Wang's team, so why not let my nephew go first?" An Jiarong also yelled.

    "Hurry up?" Fatty Lu scolded with a smile, "You, Hu Tongchun, have time to compete with Wang Xu, why don't you kill the dog-like infantry on the left wing as soon as possible? If they don't kill them, how can I casually mobilize the second-line team? And you Anjia  Rong, your team is only 800 people, no matter how you can fight, what is the use against 15,000 Manchu cavalry? Honestly, just stay in the Chinese army and wait until Wang Xu stops the Manchu offensive!"

    Hu Tongchun agreed, galloped to the left wing quickly, and personally commanded the battle on the left wing to encircle and suppress Cai Yurong, an infantry soldier of the Qing army.  Continue to wait by Fatty Lu's side.  At the same time, under the command of Wang Xu, the more than 7,000 elite infantrymen of the Fatty Army, who were placed at the end of the team by Fatty Lu, have also moved forward happily and quickly, under the envious eyes of Hu Tongchun, An Jiarong and other Fatty Army troops.  Go forward to kill the enemy, and form an formation to block the desperate attack of the mite and Qing cavalry.

    Needless to say, Wang Xu's commanding skills are naturally needless to say. Although there was interference and sabotage by the treacherous cavalry in the front line, Wang Xu directly commanded the 7,500 infantry of the Fat Man Army and rushed to Yao Yi before the Qing cavalry arrived.  On both sides of the team, two phalanxes were quickly formed, and Wang Xu personally commanded a phalanx to merge into Yao Yi's phalanx, increasing the frontal impact resistance of the fat army's large formation.  And when the three elite infantry of the Fat Man Army had just formed their formation, more than 10,000 Qing cavalry had rushed to the vicinity like a tide.

    There is no need for Fatty Lu to worry about it, nor does Wang Xu even need to worry about it. The cavalry of the Qing army just rushed into the range of the Fatty Army's bows, arrows and muskets.  The Japanese muskets fired together, and the arrowhead projectiles hit the dense Qing cavalry like hail and raindrops. Countless Qing cavalry who were shot by the arrows turned over and fell off their horses, and were immediately trampled into meat paste by the horseshoes of their companions.

    The number of Qing army cavalry is too many, and the team is too dense. Apart from causing some casualties to the Qing army cavalry, the bow and arrow muskets of the Fat Man Army did not stop the Qing army cavalry at all. The Qing army cavalry is still in the tide  Generally rushing forward frantically, even if they are trampled to death or injured, they will not be hurt.We no longer have a reserve team, and our cavalry and infantry are too tired to run fast!  But Wu Dog not only has the infantry but also the reserve team, the two wings of the battlefield also have the Wu Dog reserve team!  And Wu Gou's cavalry reserve team!  "

    "The Wugou cavalrymen are not greedy for life and afraid of death. They are retreating to save their energy and horsepower! They are waiting until the horses of our Qing Dynasty are too tired to run, and the infantry is too tired to walk. They will come out again.  Launch a fatal blow to us Qing Dynasty! Lu Yifeng¡¯s dog thief¡¯s tactic is Tian Ji¡¯s horse racing, use his infantry middle horse to drag our cavalry to mount, drag our upper horse into middle horse or even dismount, and then his cavalry mounts and comes out  , to win the final victory¡ª¡ª!"

    "Master, how long are you going to be obsessed with this obsession?! When Wu Gou launched a full-scale counterattack, the pampered guards around you, the Shanpu camp and the forward camp, and the two-gun generals with a musket in one hand and a bong in the other, in addition to bullying the common people and gangsters.  You kill the worthless officials who dare not resist! Can you save you from the encirclement?"

    After being punched and kicked by Kang Mazi's guards, Zhou Peigong yelled, and in the end he yelled frantically, "Master, this is your last chance, if you don't call Jin to retreat, you will die! You  If it falls into the hands of Lu Yifeng's thief, what will happen, the servant dare not even think about it¡ª! My master¡ª¡ª!"

    Being scolded so severely by Zhou Peigong, a dog slave who has always been low-browed and pleasing to the eye, Kang Mazi was completely stunned, and he even forgot to order Zhou Peigong to be hacked into pieces and executed Ling Chi.  Looking at the battlefield in the distance, under the setting sun, the corpses of soldiers from both sides on the battlefield are piled up like a mountain, abandoned flags and weapons are scattered all over the place, and blood flows on the ground like a river, dyeing the setting sun into a bloody color, hazy and cruel  .

    In a daze of trance, Kang Mazi suddenly had such a feeling, "This scene seems to be very similar to my country. It's all about sunset, and it's almost over."

    "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

    All of a sudden, clusters of flames flew into the sky, exploded in mid-air, and bloomed huge beautiful flowers one after another.  Seeing these flowers, Zhou Peigong, who had held his head up and forced the guards to beat him up, was completely paralyzed, and even peed on the spot, howling frantically and desperately, "It's over! It's over! It must be Wu Gou's general attack signal! It must be Wu Gou  It¡¯s over! We¡¯re in Qing Dynasty! It¡¯s over!¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 381 Disaster to the Qing Dynasty

    ?

    As the fireworks representing the general attack signal of the Fatty Army flew into the air, there was movement immediately in the north and south directions of Huai'an Battlefield where the flesh and blood splattered. The infantry and cavalry soldiers of the Fatty Army who were all in white were like ghosts, leading their horses and holding up flags, one by one.  Groups of people came out from the back of the hills, from the depths of the woods, and gradually gathered into an army in the open area five miles away from the two wings of the Huai'an battlefield, forming a forest of knives, mountains and spears, and a sea of ??flags, white and endless.  Majestic as a mountain, mighty as a sea.

    In the north of the Huai'an battlefield, Gao Dejie's face was as solemn as a mountain. He pointed his saber at Kang Mazi Luanjia who was obliquely in front of him, and said coldly to his subordinates: "Target, Emperor Luanjia full of dogs, attack! Except the full dog with pockmarks on his face!"  , not a single one will be left alive! Thirty years of blood feud will be avenged today!"

    "Target, Man Gou Emperor Luanjia, assault! Except for Man Gou with pockmarked face, no one will be left alive! Thirty years of blood feud, today must be reported!"

    The generals of the Wu army rushed back to their respective teams, excitedly and calmly repeating Gao Dejie's order loudly and loudly. More than 6,000 fat cavalrymen carefully arranged their sabers, bayonets, bows and firearms and agreed one after another. The team did not panic, but every one of them  The hands of the fat army officers and soldiers were shaking, trembling with excitement.

    "Kill! Capture Kang Mazi alive!" With a wave of Gao Dejie's saber, a group of war horses led the charge towards Kang Mazi's luanjia, followed by more than 6,000 fat cavalrymen, and the white tide rushed wildly, overwhelming Kang Mazi's  In Luanjia, the slogan of "Catch Kang Mazi alive" also echoed in the land of Huai'an.

    At the same time, on the south side of the battlefield, Han Daren, the general of the fat army who led the infantry brigade of the fat army, hurriedly found Gao Hongchen who was leading the cavalry of the fat army.  Said: "General Gao Er, I just saw with the binoculars that the musketeers of the Raksha Kingdom are still in the pro-army team of Emperor Mangou.  Huge casualties. How about this, everyone is a good brother, I will suffer a bit, I will take 10,000 infantry to fill the emperor Luanjia, how about you take the cavalry and the rest of the infantry to the main battlefield to reinforce the general?"

    "General Han, everyone has such a good relationship, how can I have the nerve to let you suffer so much?" Gao Hongchen smiled and returned the silver ticket to Han Daren, and said: "So it's still my disadvantage, you go to reinforce the general first, I will first  Go and deal with the Musketeers of the Raksha Kingdom, and if you catch up again, I will definitely give you the feat of capturing Emperor Mangou alive! That¡¯s it, don¡¯t refuse.¡±

    After all, Gao Hongchen didn't let Han Daren decide. As soon as he patted his horse, he charged towards Kang Mazi's Luanjia, brandishing a knife and roaring: "Brothers, follow me, capture the Emperor Mangou alive, and avenge our compatriots!"

    The 6,000 fat cavalry led by Gao Hongchen suddenly agreed, clapped their horses and rushed past Han Daren with wild laughter. The shouts of the Emperor Mangou were resounding in the sky, and they all rushed to Kang Mazi Luanjia five miles away in the blink of an eye, leaving Han Daren behind.  He yelled at the spot, "Fuck it! Isn't it just that you can bring some cavalry, and those with balls are great? I can also fight cavalry warfare! After this battle is over, my Taipingfu Army must form a large-scale cavalry team  !"

    "General Han, what should we do?" Li Mao, Han Daren's deputy, approached and asked.

    "What should we do? Salad!" Han Daren, who was in an extremely bad mood, roared, pointing to the main battlefield near the east gate of Huai'an, and shouted: "The soldiers are divided into two groups, and I will take half of the infantry to the right flank, and attack the dog infantry front and back!  You take the remaining half, turn around to the front, and flank the dog cavalry!"

    Li Mao agreed, and hurried down to assign the team, while Han Daren shouted at his back: "Remember! Quick battle! The sooner the better! The two brothers of the Gao family and Emperor Mangou are both cavalry.  The war won't be over for a while, and we still have a chance!" Li Mao raised his hand to express acceptance.

    Soon, the infantry force of the 20,000 Fat Man Army also launched a charge. The soldiers divided into two groups and rushed directly to the right wing of the main battlefield, and all the way to the front of the main battlefield in a roundabout way.  The mite clears the cavalry team.

    The new force of the Fat Man Army finally launched a full-scale counter-offensive. For the deadlocked Huai'an battlefield, the shock was no less than that of an earthquake and tsunami.  Seeing the fat army cavalry rushing towards him like a tide, Kang Mazi dropped his horsewhip with blood in his hand, and his pockmarked face became whiter than the filial piety on the fat army soldiers.  More than a thousand people in the camp were silent, all of them were pale and ashen, and there was only one thought in their hearts that they dared not say, "The Qing Dynasty is over."

    The Rakshasa Musketeers started to stir up a commotion. The Rakshasa Musketeers who had fought against Fatty Army in Yangzhou and Gaoyou had already understood a truth.  Soldiers, insiders of the civil war, outsiders of the war,?The hills, valleys, and woods were filled with routs, trampling each other, crowding each other, trampling the dead and the living to flee for their lives.  The chasing soldiers strode forward, mixed with the rout of the Qing army, crying and shouting, fighting and surrendering, but more of the same slogan

    That slogan is, "Catch Kang Mazi alive¡ª!"

    The moon gradually climbed into the sky, spreading the bright moonlight over the bloody land. Although the first quarter moon on the fifth day of the lunar new year was not as bright as the full moon on the fifteenth day, it was enough to illuminate the road and people's shadows in this era when the air was not polluted.  , illuminating the pockmarks on people's faces, the stars are like weaving, and the sky is cloudless.  Seeing the moon and the weather, Fatty Lu on the Fatty Military Commander's Stage laughed wildly, "It's a clear moon night! It's a clear moon night! Kang Mazi, your shit luck has finally run out! This time, you can't run away! You  It must not run away!"

    "Junshi Yao, Shaobo, and Line Fu left behind the aftermath, Erlang, bring my own troops, and I will go after and kill Kang Mazi myself!" Laughing wildly, Fatty Lu added in a strange way, "By the way, put  Lord Zhang also called me, on our side, the only one who can compete with Kang Mazi seems to be him."

    Xiao Erlang agreed, and hurried down to make arrangements, but Yao Qisheng who was next to him shouted: "General, please forgive me for saying one more thing, if Emperor Mangou is caught, please don't hurt his life for the time being.  Useful, or great use."

    "Of course I know this." Fatty Lu nodded, and then said leisurely: "But in the face of the blood hatred of the country and the nation, my personal interests are not even farts."

    Yao Qisheng remained silent and stopped admonishing him, but deep down he had some doubts. He knew that killing Kang Mazi was tantamount to helping the old traitor Wu to gain the world's Fatty Lu.  Put aside interests and choose to avenge your compatriots?

    Can Kang Mazi escape from Fatty Lu's clutches?  If you want to know what will happen next, please read the next chapter "Fat and Hemp Team Up"!  ¡ª¡ªIt¡¯s really not a headline party this time.

 Chapter 382 Fat and Ma join forces (Part 1)

    ?

    The damned moon has risen to the middle of the sky, even though it is the first quarter of the fifth day, but his damned moonlight still illuminates the ground brightly, it is difficult for anyone to hide in the open area, not to mention I have seven or eight hundred cavalry with me  ?  I can be sure that the surname of the moon tonight is Lu, and she is related to that unranked scholar!  ¡ª¡ªKang Maziyu, the supreme chief of the mite, the rabbit terminator.

    Just as Kang Mazi hated, the clear moonlit night brought great difficulties and troubles to Kang Mazi's escape. Under the moonlight, the last seven or eight hundred cavalry around Kang Mazi were as eye-catching as a superstar.  The shadow of this troop can be clearly seen with the naked eye, so no matter how Kang Mazi's troop rushes and flees, or tries to hide their tracks, they still cannot escape the pursuit of the fat cavalry.  He kept chasing after his butt, and the slogan of catching Kang Mazi alive never stopped for a moment.

    What's worse is the stamina of the horse, which is different from the experienced fat cavalry on the battlefield. The fat cavalry will let the horse rest and feed whenever they have the opportunity.  Horses, try to keep the horses as durable as possible. Of course, the mite Qing army, who started riding and shooting, understands this truth, but the problem is that they have lost all their luggage. Where do they go to find fine horse feed to feed the horses?  And this hidden danger was not easy to find at the beginning, but as the horses ran and charged for a long time, this hidden danger was gradually exposed.

    During the pursuit battle, one by one the Qing cavalry fell to the ground due to the exhaustion of their horses, and they were chopped into pieces by the swarming fat cavalry.  There was no chance of getting up, either he was chased by the fat man, hacked and stabbed to death, or he was trampled to death by the horseshoes of the friendly army. The bloody BMW under Kang Mazi's crotch trampled to death two guards who fell from the horse.  The screams of the soldiers and the howls of the Qing soldiers died one after another. It was unbearable to hear. The Qing cavalry around Kang Mazi became less and less, but the fat army chased them closer and closer.

    While running desperately, at the fourth watch, a faint band of light suddenly appeared in front of Kang Mazi's team. Kang Mazi and the guards, who had almost zero experience in the battlefield, continued to charge forward, but Zhuman grabbed Kang Mazi and shouted:  "Master, you can't rush. There is a river ahead, or a big river. Be careful not to fall into the river!"

    Kang Mazi picked up the binoculars and took a closer look, and found that just as Zhuman said, there was indeed a river ahead, and the faint band of light was the moonlight and stars reflected by the river surface.  The Heshan Puying soldiers yelled and asked, "What kind of river is ahead? How wide and how deep is it? Who knows where the upstream and downstream lead?"

    Everyone in the Qing army, including Zhou Peigong, was speechless, but Zhuman said: "Master, if I remember correctly, there should be Yaotou River in front, Sheyang Lake in the south, and the Yellow River in the north, just blocking us.  Also, the servant still remembers that there is a ferry crossing the Yellow River at the northern mouth of the Yaotou River, but the servant is illiterate and cannot remember the name of the ferry.¡±

    "General Zhu is illiterate, how can he memorize the terrain in this area so clearly?" Zhou Peigonghu, who guessed that Zhuman was the accomplice in Yue Le's death, questioned.

    "These are what Prince Zhang told the slave. The slave is illiterate, but he is not afraid of remembering, and he can pass the ear." Zhuman replied honestly: "The prince of Zhang has a habit of studying the map before starting a battle. This time, the slave  It was no exception when I went to Yangzhou with him, and he also studied the map of Huaiyang area, and the servant was by his side at that time, so he asked the names of some major rivers and lakes on the map, so I remembered it.¡±

    Zhou Peigong was a little surprised, and only then did he realize that Prince Zhang was an idiot, but luck was not his fault, and he was able to meet such a talent in random promotions.  Kang Mazi yelled at Zhuman again: "Are you sure there is a ferry to the north? Do you remember correctly?"

    Zhuman recalled for a while, nodded quickly, and replied decisively: "I dare to vouch for it with my head. On the map of Prince Zhang, there is indeed a ferry on the north side of the Yaotou River, but I don't know the name."

    "All head north, to the ferry!" Kang Mazi chose to believe in Zhuman, and ordered the whole army to go up the river to the unknown ferry to find an opportunity to cross the river.

    With less than 400 people left, Kang Mazi's team moved again, heading north along the Yaotou River at full speed, looking for the unknown ferry, but at full speed, in fact, the speed could only catch up with the usual trot at best.  No matter how hard the cavalry of the Qing army swung their whips and clamped their horses, the horses could no longer run. Fortunately, the pursuers of the Fat Man Army seemed to have lost their target.  go.

    Kang Mazi's ecstasy didn't last long. After walking for less than three miles, a group of fat army cavalry with torches suddenly bumped into them from the north. When Kang Mazi wanted to hide himself, it was too late, but the fat army soldiers cheered  Get up, "Man of Dogs"While trembling with fear, a familiar voice suddenly came, "Don't follow, I'll leave after pulling, don't look at it."

    "Zhangtai?" Kang Mazi and Zhuman were taken aback, and immediately recognized that the voice came from Lord Zhangtai.

    "General Zhang, how many times a day do you have to pull, how many times do you have to come to the big one along the way?" The laughter of the soldiers of the fat army came.

    "I have a bad stomach. There seems to be something wrong with the old stewed kohlrabi I ate this morning." Prince Zhang's frustrated voice came.

    "It's General Zhang, have you eaten too much? Like you, we all eat the old stewed kohlrabi that the people of Huai'an reward us with. Why don't we eat it?"

    "Fart! I only ate a catty of kohlrabi and eight steamed buns"

    Hearing Lord Zhang's familiar voice, Zhuman trembled with excitement, and quickly turned to Kang Mazi who was beside him and said in a low voice: "Master, this is a good opportunity to rescue Lord Zhang."

    "No!" Kang Mazi resolutely stopped, "There is Wu Gou Bing by his side, if you take him away at this time, Wu Gou Bing will immediately find out that something is wrong. Don't move, don't make a sound, anyone who disobeys the order, beheaded!"

    Zhuman was stunned for a moment, then quietly poked his head out from behind the stone, wanting to see Prince Zhang who was as close as brother to him again, but our Prince Zhang had already unbuttoned his trousers five steps away, showing his big buttocks.  He squatted down facing Zhuman, and began to spray the five grains of reincarnation.  When I took a closer look with tears in my eyes, Zhu Man's heart rose to her throat¡ªbehind Prince Zhang's big white buttocks, a rice shovel head (cobra) was coiled up, aiming at the big white buttocks of Prince Zhang.  butt!  Obviously, Prince Zhang's reincarnation of five grains has alarmed this poisonous snake!

    "My lord, don't move! Don't move!"

    Knowing the habit of the rice shovel well (cobras are short-sighted and can't see stationary objects), Zhuman let out a roar, rushed out from the hiding place with one stride, and flew to grab the rice shovel, while our Zhang  The prince is also blessed and spiritual, he was really startled when he heard this voice, he froze for a moment, he clamped the chrysanthemum and did not continue to stimulate the head of the rice shovel.  Zhuman, who is extremely experienced in wild survival, took the opportunity to reach out, dodging the venom sprayed by the head of the rice shovel like lightning, and grabbed the seven inches of the head of the rice shovel!

    "Someone! There are full dogs!" The fat man's army soldier screamed, "Come on, there are full dogs here! There are full dogs!"

    "It's full of dogs!" The sound of the alarm attracted the soldiers of the Fat Man Army, and a large number of soldiers of the Fat Man Army rushed into the woods, and the faces of Kang Mazi, Zhou Peigong and others turned white all of a sudden

    "Zhuman! Zhuman¡ª!" Prince Zhang looked back to see Zhuman, and he jumped up and hugged Zhuman's chest, ignoring that his pants were not pulled up. He beat and beat, crying loudly.  : "Zhuman, why are you here, you dog slave? Why are you here? Do you know that I miss you every day, miss you every day!"

    "My lord, this slave is also thinking of you." Zhuman raised his rice shovel to the sky so as not to accidentally hurt Prince Zhang, and said with tears, "My slave, I miss you every day too."

    "The Emperor of Dogs!" The soldiers of the Fatty Army who surrounded them finally discovered the existence of Kang Mazi and others, and also saw the bright yellow armor on Kang Mazi's body and the pockmarks on his face. The ecstatic voice echoed in the woods again.  "The Man Dog Emperor! The Man Dog Emperor is here¡ª!"

    "I found Emperor Mangou!" Amid wild cheers, the soldiers of the Fat Man Army rushed forward, rushing into the woods like a tide, rushing in front of the stunned Kang Mazi and others, surrounded Kang Mazi and others, and raised their hands.  Raised their knives and guns and shouted together, "Put down your weapons! Surrender, don't kill! Surrender, don't kill!"

    "In the end, what happened?" Prince Zhang seemed to be still in a dream, muttering: "I have diarrhea, why is there such a big commotion?"

    "Zhangtai, I'll fuck your mother's eighteen generations of ancestors!" Kang Mazi cursed frantically in despair.  (To be continued.

    ?

    "The Man Dog Emperor is here! Here! Brothers, come quickly! We have found the Man Dog Emperor!"

    "Raise your hands! Put down your weapons! Surrender and don't kill! Dogs are full of dogs! Kneel! Kneel and don't kill!"

    Amidst the ecstatic cheers and slogans, the fat infantry cavalry soldiers of the brigade rushed into the woods where Kang Mazi and the others were hiding like a tide, almost killing Kang Mazi and his party in the blink of an eye.  Surrounded by people, Kang Mazi and the others were stunned, staring at the fat army soldiers coming in groups, and even more dumbfounded at Prince Zhang Taizhang who didn't even lift his pants. They were so shocked that they even forgot to run away  .

    If it was possible, Kang Mazi would definitely issue an imperial decree to have someone block Prince Zhang's chrysanthemums and suffocate Prince Zhang to death!  Nima, can you have diarrhea elsewhere? Why do you want to come to my hiding place to have diarrhea?

    It made Kang Mazi so angry that he was still behind, seeing the fat man's army coming, Zhu Man, the only reliable fighter around Kang Mazi, stomped on the poisonous snake to death, and drew out his knife to try to resist, but Prince Zhang did not hesitate.  He grabbed Zhuman, ordered Zhuman not to resist, put down his weapon and surrender to the fat army, then Zhuman ignored Kang Mazi, honestly dropped his weapon, and followed Prince Zhang back to the army of the fat army.

    In fact, it was Fatty Lu himself who was even more shocked. According to Fatty Lu's estimation, the Kang Mazi team that crossed the Yaotou River at the fourth watch had escaped at least twenty miles away, so Fatty Lu didn't let the soldiers of the Fatty Army go.  After rigorously searching the woods and grass within 20 miles, he led the fat man's army to rush all the way, preparing to walk another five or six miles before launching a carpet search.  As a result, Lord Zhang Taizhang, who had specially brought Kang Mazi's shit luck, pulled out of Kang Mazi's hiding place when he had a stomachache on the road. When the news reached Fatty Lu, Fatty Lu was stunned on the spot.

    After a long time, Fatty Lu finally raised his head to the sky and roared, "Xiangrui Yufang! Heaven has eyes!"

    "Put down your weapons! Surrender, don't kill! Surrender, don't kill!"

    Amidst the shouts, the soldiers of the Fatty Army became tighter and tighter, and the muskets and spears in their hands were almost pointed at Kang Mazi's nose. The last twenty or so guard soldiers around Kang Mazi formed a circle with their backs to Kang Mazi.  Kang Mazi was clustered in the middle, but these bruised and exhausted guards were all pale and their hands were trembling. They knew that this time, no matter what, they would not be able to escape the encirclement of the fat man's army, let alone escape for their lives.

    Kang Mazi's pockmarked face turned ashen, and he quietly touched the sword at his waist, drew it out and put it on his neck, ready to kill himself. Zhou Peigong, who was next to him, had sharp eyes and quick hands, pressed Kang Mazi's pockmarked hand, and said nervously: "Master, you must not do this.  We still have hope, master, you also have hope!"

    "When things have come to this point, what hope can I have?" Kang Mazi said sadly, "I regret not listening to my grandmother's orders and your advice. I can only go to the underworld to apologize to my grandmother and you."

    "Master, you really still have hope!" Zhou Peigong lowered his voice and said quickly: "With the current situation in the world, if Lu Yifeng's dog thief kills you, it will only take advantage of old thief Wu Sangui and help old thief Wu Sangui to rule the world.  Wedding dress! Master, you can use this to make a fuss, and persuade Lu Yifeng's dog thief to let you go, or not kill you for the time being, on the condition of ceding the land and paying compensation to become a minister, and then the ancestors will definitely try their best to save you back.  It¡¯s not hopeless to make a comeback!¡±

    Kang Mazi hesitated, his heart was at war with heaven and man, and the muscles on Ma's face twitched violently.  At this time, at least thousands of fat soldiers had already surrounded Kang Mazi and his party. The steel knives, spears and flags were as thick as a jungle.  As long as there is an order, more than twenty people including Kang Mazi can be chopped into meat paste and poked into honeycombs.

    Seeing this situation, the muscles on Ma Ma's face twitched crazily for a long time. Finally, Kang Mazi put down his sword, trembling and said slowly: "Everyone, put down your weapons and raise your hands to surrender."

    With a decree, the guards of Kang Mazi, who didn't want to die at all, immediately threw the weapons in their hands on the ground, raised their hands together, and surrendered to the fat army. Kang Mazi put on his armor and pushed Su Lun and Lang Tan away.  The guard strode up to the soldiers of the fat man army, and said in a deep voice, "I am Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, take me to meet Lu Yifeng!"

    "The Emperor Man Dog is caught! The Emperor Man Dog is caught! We have the Emperor Man Dog!"

    Crazy thunder and cheers suddenly rose, straight into the sky, and the sound spread for ten miles, one wave higher than the other, echoing endlessly in the land of Jiangnan, and quickly spread throughout the entire Jiangnan and the whole world at an astonishing speed.

    "Da Zhou! Da Zhou! Da Zhou! Da Zhou! Da Zhou!" Rhythmic thunderous cheers.??Ah!  Fatty Lu wept with joy, "Fortunately, I didn't get confused, I didn't raise a thief and let Kang Mazi run away!"  For the sake of the country and the people, I am ready to be loyal to the nation and my compatriots. Nima, I will become number one in the world all of a sudden!  "

    "Why didn't I think of this in advance?" Kang Mazi cried bitterly, "If I don't come to Jiangnan for the imperial conquest and stay in the capital, it won't be long before the Qing Dynasty ushers in a turning point!"

    "God damn old fox!" Fatty Lu and Kang Mazi yelled together again.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 384 I don't want to die

    ?

    It took more than a day, and the casualties on the Huai'an battlefield were finally counted. Over 38,000 Qing soldiers were killed and more than 19,000 prisoners were killed. The number of missing Qing soldiers cannot be counted.  , Dong Weiguo, Cai Yurong, Mu Zhan, Laita, Huashan, Bi Liketu, and Dong E, etc., captured the highest chiefs of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi, Tuhai, Zhou Peigong, Fo Niyu, Liu Xingzhong, Dai Zi, etc.  More than 40 officials and more than 40 people who have been raped by Taiji have seized countless war horses and weapons, and the results of the battle have been brilliant.

    In addition, it is confirmed that the generals of the Qing army who fled back to Qinghe County are Jie Shu, Shang Shan, and Bo Guoduo. It is roughly estimated that the number of Qing army troops who fled back to Qinghe is between 3,500 and 4,500.  It is a pity that the ferry boat at the Qinghe Ferry has long been burned to pieces by Kang Mazi, and the Fat Army Navy Squad led by Li Guodong has basically blocked the ferry.  Then escape from the clutches of the Fat Man Army.

    It is also worth mentioning that there is also the musketeer team of the Raksha Kingdom. After leaving Kang Maziluan, who was besieged by the Fat Army cavalry, the Raksha musketeer team fled to a small hill beside the Jianhe River to hold on, and sent  The envoys contacted the Fatty Army and asked the Fatty Army to accept their surrender and allow them to return home with weapons.  Han Daren, the general of the fat army in charge of this battlefield, agreed to accept the surrender of the Luocha soldiers, but he had to surrender all his weapons in order to survive. The Luocha soldiers, who had limited ammunition and no food supply, had no choice but to agree to Han Daren's request and surrender to the fat army.  Out of the weapon.

    Who would have thought that the Rakshasa soldiers had just been disarmed, and Han Daren, who was not under Fatty Lu's cruelty, immediately turned his face and ordered the soldiers of the Fatty Army to massacre all the more than 400 Rakshasa soldiers who surrendered, and then took the weapons of these Rakshasa soldiers.  The head and the musket went to ask for credit from Fatty Lu, and showed off to the Gao brothers by the way-see it?  As soon as I go out, General Han, I will kill the Rakshasa soldiers of your Yangzhou Legion's countless mid-level and low-level generals, and they will all be wiped out immediately!

    For the Fatty Army, it was the first time that more than 10,000 soldiers were killed in a single battle, a total of more than 13,000 people, of which about 1,500 cavalrymen were killed in battle, and nearly 12,000 infantrymen were killed in battle, more than 60%  They were all from Fatty Lu's immediate corps. In addition, there were more than 8,000 wounded soldiers in the direct corps. The rockets were all fired, and the ammunition consumption of the artillery was close. The loss was not small.

    It doesn't matter how big the loss is, let's not talk about the successful capture of Emperor Kangxi, the supreme chief of the Qing Dynasty, in this battle. It is definitely worth paying the price. I accidentally saw through the treacherous tricks of the old man Wu, and even made everyone ready to die for the country.  Fatty Lu was ecstatic, and some mysteries that had plagued the decision-makers of the Fatty Army for a long time were immediately solved.

    First of all, the old traitor Wu jumped over the mystery of many sons-in-law and nephews making Fatty Lu the king. Before that, Fatty Lu always thought that the old traitor Wu was showing his favor to him, and told himself in disguise that the old traitor Wu would not pursue Fatty Lu¡¯s disobedience in the south of the Yangtze River  The plan is to continue to use Fatty Lu¡¯s Northern Expedition, so as to prevent Fatty Lu from jumping over the wall in a desperate situation, falling to the enemy or colluding with the enemy, which will cause the old traitor Wu to fail to successfully take over the wealth of Jiangnan. First stabilize Fatty Lu, and then settle accounts after taking over Jiangnan  .

    Now it seems that the old traitor Wu's move was actually a very clever way to divert trouble. It not only stabilized Fatty Lu and prevented Fatty Lu from jumping over the wall in a hurry, but also created an illusion for Kang Mazi, making Kang Mazi think that the traitor Wu was at least  I won't turn against Fatty Lu for the time being, but I will use Fatty Lu to launch the Northern Expedition, forcing Kang Mazi to jump over the wall in a hurry, betting on the national fortune to besiege Fatty Lu with all his strength, and cut off the most dangerous accomplices of old Wu traitors before the Wu army starts the Northern Expedition, and try our best to regain the tax-heavy land in the south of the Yangtze River  , and then use Jiangnan's wealth to compete with the old traitor Wu who is in a mess.

    In this way, Wu Jun's most dangerous enemy and most dangerous traitor fought the world upside down, in full swing, and naturally had no spare energy to find Wu Jun's troubles.  Adjustment time.  What's even better is that if the dangerous enemy Kang Mazi and the dangerous traitor Fatty Lu were to fight each other and die together, then the Wu army team who sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight could come out to pick up cheap ones and kill the exhausted Kang Mazi and Fatty Lu with very little force.  , Annexed the whole world in one fell swoop.

    There is another cleverness of this trick, that is, you are not afraid that Fatty Lu will continue to raise his own self-esteem. As long as the news of the death of the traitor Wu is not confirmed for a day, neither Kang Mazi nor Fatty Lu dare to start a war against Wu Jun, and take the initiative to attack Wu Jun.  Launching an attack, Wu Jun, who is internally unstable, can still buy time for internal adjustments. As long as Wu Jun survives the chaos after the death of the old traitor Wu, and becomes a single rope again, with the strength of the army, he can still deal with the dying Kang Mazi  , Clean up Fatty Lu who dare not expand his strength too much.

    By the same token, creating the illusion that the traitor Wu is still alive can also serve as a deterrent to Geng Jingzhong, Shang Zhixin, and Zheng Jing, so that they dare not take advantage of the fire and collude to attack the chaotic Wu army.  ?"Decree!" Xiao Erlang agreed with a suppressed smile.  Fatty Lu ordered again: "Also, from now on, every meal will only be given to Emperor Mangou to eat lard bibimbap, no salt is allowed, and he will be fattened up, and then he can cut a few more slices of meat and eat more meat.  Sell ??some silver to make up for the military pay."

    The fat military officers and generals around him couldn't bear to burst into laughter, while Kang Mazi's face turned blue and white, and he wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide but was afraid of pain. After hesitating for a moment, Kang Mazi finally shouted: "Untie my hands!  I write!"

    "You're smart. If you're obedient, I'll naturally consider treating you better." Fatty Lu smiled triumphantly, and pouted at Xiao Erlang, asking Xiao Erlang to unlock Kang Mazi's handcuffs, and let Kang Mazi draw up a pen to draw up an idea¡ª¡ª  By the way, there is only one key for Kang Mazi's fine iron shackles and handcuffs, which is kept by Fatty Lu's most trusted old lackey, Xiao Erlang, personally. The other old lackeys, the Liu brothers and Shen Xin, do not have it.

    The three wills were quickly written, and Kang Mazi used the seal himself, and Xiao Erlang handcuffed Kang Mazi himself, and then brought the three wills to Fatty Lu for review.  Fatty Lu took it and saw that the content was correct, so he handed over the three imperial edicts to Wang Shaobo next to him, and ordered in front of Kang Mazi: "Copy a copy of each of these three imperial edicts, and then arrange for them to be sent out quickly.  Send the copy of Fratta's imperial decree to Porter, King of the Red Hair Country, and send the copy to Laita and Tian Fengji to Geng Jingzhong."

    "Understood." Wang Shaobo agreed with a wicked smile.  But Kang Mazi suddenly realized, and shouted tremblingly with anger: "You despicable villain! You want my navy and army to kill each other with the Hongmao navy and Geng Jingzhong!"

    "It's good to know." Fatty Lu didn't blush, and said with a smile while dangling his legs: "Learn a bit, see how I use soldiers to fight, and see how big the difference between me, a military genius, and you, a military idiot is.  !"

    "Shameless! Despicable! Despicable! Dirty!" Kang Mazi was so angry that his eyes blew out, and he roared wildly: "Lu Yifeng's bastard, you just took advantage of this time, no matter what you say in the future, I won't believe it  is you!"

    "You only have so much oil and water left to squeeze." Fatty Lu finally stood up, walked up to Kang Mazi and sighed: "It's because you still have the face to call yourself a wise man, a handsome man with a handsome appearance, a Yue Lisheng, and an actuarial skill."  , Can calligraphy and painting, can astronomy, understands foreign languages, understands politics, and dredging rivers is all about the dog emperor. How can you be so naive? You have already been captured alive by me, and your treacherous grandmother can't go down immediately.  Order, stop using your Zhu Pian and use the Blue Pie from the study instead? Apart from Zhejiang and Jiangxi, which are inconvenient to connect with the capital, what oil and water can you squeeze out of yourself?"

    Kang Mazi's body shook, he froze for a moment, and then shouted: "Kill me! Kill me! You despicable villain, kill me immediately!"

    "Slap!" Fatty Lu raised his hand, and slapped Kang Mazi's pockmarked face hard, causing Kang Mazi to bloom all over his face and shut his mouth. Then Fatty Lu said sinisterly, "It's not easy for you to die? You don't need me."  Do it yourself, as long as I throw you in the cities of Yangzhou, Jiangyin, Jiading, and Kunshan, thousands of people will immediately chew you up! On the land of Jiangnan, in the land of Huaxia, think  The Han people who kill you can line up around the earth several times hand in hand!"

    Kang Mazi was stunned again. After a while, two lines of tears suddenly flowed from Kang Mazi's numb eyes. He knelt down on Fatty Lu's knees with a plop, kowtowed desperately, and wailed loudly: "General Lu, Master Lu, Big Brother Lu,  My lord, please, please see that when you were in the capital, I treated you fairly well, please forgive me and pass me off as a fart! You can do whatever you want, as long as you open a  Price, I can agree! Lord Lu, please, you can do whatever you want, I don¡¯t want to die, I don¡¯t want to die! Master Lu!¡±

    "You know that you are afraid of death now? Then you are full of dogs and slaughtered so many Han Chinese? You also dug up the Yellow River and drowned so many Han Chinese?" Fatty Lu snorted coldly: "If you don't want to die, others want to die? Those  The Han people who were killed by you, the Han people who were slaughtered by your dogs, who would want to die?"

    Speaking of this, Fatty Lu couldn't help turning his head to look northwest, and murmured: "I'm afraid, when he was dying, he also had the same thought in his heart I don't want to die."

 Chapter 385: Kang Mazi Brand Toilet

    ?

    On the night after the surrender of the remnants of the Qing army in Qinghe City, unable to withstand Fatty Lu's coercion and temptation, Kang Mazi finally wrote an edict in his own hand, and it was also an edict issued by him as the highest chief of the Qing Dynasty.  Therefore, officials, gentry, soldiers and civilians in the prefectures and counties must not resist and offend the army of General Lu Yifeng, General of the Great Zhou Conquest to the East.  The management and reorganization of Zhou's army!

    This edict is also the last oil and water that Kang Mazi can squeeze out. Not to mention that the Fat Army did not have an official channel like the Qing court to officially promulgate it to the whole country. Even if there was such a channel, the south of the Yellow River is still under the control of the Qing Dynasty.  Those state capitals and counties in the book will definitely not follow.  The biggest function of this edict is to target those wavering factions and wall-riding factions among the local officials of the Qing Dynasty, and give them a reasonable excuse to surrender, so as to facilitate the surrender of the fat army, reduce the resistance of the remnants of the Qing army, and minimize the casualties of the fat army  .

    After finishing writing this imperial edict, he took the initiative and honestly stretched out his hand to ask Xiao Erlang to handcuff him. Kang Mazi quickly turned his pockmarked face to Fatty Lu, his eyes were full of pity and pleading, as obedient as a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.  Fatty Lu carefully checked Kang Mazi's personal edict until he found that the content was completely consistent with his own requirements. Fatty Lu nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Erlang, detain him, and arrange everything for food and lodging."  Well, don't abuse him as long as he doesn't run away or play tricks."

    "I have an order." Xiao Erlang agreed, but Kang Mazi begged again, "General Lu, I have complied with your request. You should put forward the conditions for my release, right?"

    "What's the hurry?" Fatty Lu stared at him with small eyes, and said coldly, "You better not rush me, I warn you better not rush me, in the south of the Yangtze River, there are millions of Han people who want to cut you to pieces  Don't worry, if I want to let you go, I will have to bear great pressure, if you rush me, I can't guarantee what kind of decision I will make under the pressure."

    Kang Mazi's face turned pale, he quickly closed his mouth, nodded tremblingly to express his understanding, and like an eggplant beaten by frost, he honestly followed Xiao Erlang out of the fat man's army tent, and waited for Fatty Lu's whereabouts where he should go.  Looking at Kang Mazi's dejected back, Fatty Lu couldn't help spitting thick phlegm at his back, and cursed in a low voice, "If you have descendants, you must have ancestors. No wonder you signed so many traitorous treaties."

    "Brother Lu, what should we do with Emperor Mangou?" Gao Dejie, who accompanied him in the handsome tent, asked, "Should we kill him? Or trade him for money and land?"

    "We can't let the tiger go back to the mountain. If we let him go, we can't explain to the prince." Han Daren interrupted and said, "I propose, first coax the Emperor Mangou, pretend to negotiate, and get a large piece of land and a large sum of money from the Mangou court.  Yinzi, and then kill him to avenge his compatriots, and also avenge the prince's eldest son, Wu Yingxiong."

    "I agree." Wang Xu and Li Guodong said in unison: "The Emperor Mangou has a blood feud with us Han people, and our Dazhou army. It is fine to use him to cheat a sum of money and a piece of land from the Mangou court.  But it must not be released. Now that the biggest dog is released, it will be difficult to catch and kill it in the future."

    "I object!" Yao Qisheng said surprisingly, and before he finished speaking, the fat generals in the commander's tent immediately glared at Yao Qisheng fiercely, Yao Qisheng was startled, and quickly added: "Everyone misunderstood,  The students are not opposed to killing the Mangou emperor, but they are against using the Mangou emperor to cheat money and land from the Mangou court. The students believe that if you want to kill the Mangou emperor, you can only kill him directly, and you cannot use him to cheat money and land.  "

    Several fat army generals calmed down, and Han Daren, who had the most greedy and selfish personality, asked again: "Mr. Yao, why do you think that you can't use the Emperor Mangou to cheat money and land? If we reveal a little bit, we can exchange money and land for the land."  What does the dog emperor mean, the Mangou court will definitely make up the conditions we put forward at any cost?"

    "The Mangou imperial court will indeed exchange the Mangou Emperor at any cost. We can also cheat a sum of money first, and then cut the Mangou Emperor into pieces." Yao Qisheng said in a deep voice: "But in this way, our  Where is the reputation? How to establish trust in the world? From now on, who else in the world will dare to believe what we say?"

    Fatty Lu and several generals of the Fatty Army looked at each other, and then they discovered an important problem. It was easy to use Kang Mazi to extort money, grain and land from the Mangou court, but after extorting money, grain and land, they killed Kang Mazi.  Wouldn't the credit be immediately bankrupt?

    "General, all generals, you are also aware of the current situation in the world." Yao Qisheng said solemnly: "Mangou's main force in the south of the Yangtze River is over, and the Emperor Mangou has been captured alive by us. Mangou, who has internal and external troublesin the homes of the people.

    Later, the Kangmazi brand toilet became the most famous toilet brand on the planet, and almost every home furnishing store advertised it¡ªthe authentic Kangmazi brand toilet definitely contained the ashes of Kangmazi!

    There is also such an advertisement - the thirteenth generation of Kang Mazi brand toilet, limited supply.

    "Darling, it is guaranteed to contain Kang Mazi's ashes, double crown credit guarantee. Dear, if you want it, hurry up, there are only the last two left in the fourteenth generation, dear, you don't want to use the fifteenth generation Kang Mazi brand toilet?"

    "Hello, Industrial and Commercial Bureau? I want to complain! I bought the fourteenth-generation Kang Mazi brand ceramic toilet at a high price of 1,999 yuan on xbao.com.  I went to an expert to identify it, and found that there was only a very small amount of Tong Tulai's ashes mixed in it! I want to complain and I want to return the product!"

    "Oh, my xbao.com id is Tomorrow Cry, and the id of the unscrupulous businessman selling fake Kangmazi toilets is Love Third Brother for many years. Yes, Love Third Brother for many years, it is this profiteer! What, more than one bought  Has everyone complained about him? He really is a profiteer!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 386 The world is in chaos

    ?

    The news that Fatty Lu had captured Kangxi, the supreme chief of Miqing, alive on the Huai'an battlefield, was like a shocking thunder, resounding through the whole world at once!

    Hearing this news, the old hag of Xiaozhuang passed out on the spot. After being rescued, the old hag of Xiaozhuang cried again, beating her chest and yelling at her grandson for being unfilial.  Hope, the country that my father-in-law, husband, and brother-in-law managed to conquer is destined to be defeated by Kang Mazi, an unfilial descendant.

    And just as Fatty Lu expected, after finally crying enough to calm down, the old hag of Xiaozhuang hastily promulgated an edict to immediately stop using Kang Mazi's Zhu Pi throughout the country, and use Shangshang's Blue Pi, that is, let the mite  All the official yamen in the Qing controlled area refused to carry out Kang Mazi's imperial decree, lest the ruthless Fatty Lu steal Kang Mazi's jade seal and further disturb the doomed world.  At the same time, the old hag of Xiaozhuang held her last hope and sent two secret envoys to contact the old traitor Wu and Fatty Lu respectively, trying to use political means to rescue her disappointing grandson.

    At the same time, the Qing government and the army around the south of the Yangtze River also fell into chaos because of Kang Mazi's capture. Local officials, large and small, were in panic all day long.  Prepared to rescue Kang Mazi by force, the smart ones abandoned their officials and fled, and the smarter ones simply embezzled the treasury and sent their confidants to hand over the surrender form to the Fatty Army or the Wu Army, and voluntarily led the people under the rule to cut their braids and grow their hair, and accept the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty.  Jurisdiction.

    The army of the Qing Dynasty was even more chaotic. The soldiers of the Qing army who were full of resentment over the lack of food and salaries either fled home or surrendered to the surrounding Fatty Army and Wu Army.  Grabbing food and robbing women, gathering poles on the hills and falling grass to become bandits, there are countless people.

    Regarding Kang Mazi being captured alive by Fatty Lu, the warlord forces controlled by Fei Miqing were terrified, especially Geng Jingzhong who stabbed Fatty Lu in the back.  Geng Jingzhong retreated for 30 miles without hesitation. While beheading Huang Kun, Fatty Lu's confidant, and apologizing to Fatty Lu, he pleaded with all his strength to re-sign the alliance with Fatty's army and never invade each other.

    There is also Taiwan's Zheng Jun, who is ungrateful and unwilling to save him at the critical moment. He is guilty and cowardly. He understands that the fat man's army will never forget his behavior of repaying his kindness and revenge.  Army, apologized to Fatty Lu, explaining that we were not strong enough, that's why we couldn't help when Fatty's army was besieged by the fourth line.  As for Fatty Lu's uncle, Shang Zhixin, he simply sent a secret envoy to instigate Fatty Lu to betray the old man Wu and support himself as a traitor.  .

    In addition to being frightened, the major warlords, including most of the generals of the Pingxi Palace, are inevitably envious and jealous. They understand that Fatty Lu's vicious character of plucking the hair of geese, scraping meat from the legs of egrets, and scraping oil from the belly of mosquitoes, is the reason why the Qing court is so cruel.  The next time I have to be ripped off by Fatty Lu, I don¡¯t know how much money Fatty Lu will pay for food and land in exchange for Kang Mazi, and maybe the Qing court will be forced to surrender to Fatty Lu.  Controlled by old traitors, direct independence!

    To everyone's surprise, and at the same time, what everyone didn't expect was that within a few days of catching Kang Mazi, Fatty Lu actually dragged Kang Mazi directly to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, and cut him to death in front of millions of Jiangnan people.  up!  Not only did they drive away the envoy who was going to redeem Kang Mazi with money and food, but he also burned Kang Mazi's bones to ashes, mixed the ashes into clay and burned them into toilets, and distributed them to Jiangnan City, which was murdered by dogs, so that Jiangnan  The people vent their anger!  The resolute attitude of being at odds with the Qing court, and the quick action of avenging the Han people made everyone's glasses smashed, and he also made a lot of despicable people maliciously speculate in the face, and established himself  The glorious image of a great hero for the country and the people!

    All of a sudden, Geng Jingzhong, who flirted with the Qing army under the banner of anti-Qing and supporting the Ming Dynasty, lost all face.  Zheng Jing, who was the most determined in Fuming, was also extremely embarrassed. He killed more dogs than Old Man Wu raped and killed, and killed more dogs than Fatty Lu. What face is there to claim to be the backbone of anti-Qing and Fuming?  Fatty Lu, who comes from an innocent family background and has the most resolute anti-Qing attitude, completely overwhelmed the old traitor Wu who usurped the throne and self-reliance, and Taiwan's Zheng Jing, who was in a corner of Pian'an, and became a true hero in the eyes of anti-Qing righteous people all over the world.  savior!

    The news of Kang Mazi's death spread, and the already chaotic land of China became even more chaotic. The local officials and army generals who could not find their allegiance were at a loss.??Ah!  "

    "Ah!" Fatty Lu screamed like a pig, and plopped down on his knees in the southwest direction, crying heart-piercingly, "Grandpa¡ª! Uncle¡ª! My relatives! I  My benefactor!"

    Before he finished chanting, Fatty Lu had turned over and passed out, and there was a sudden chaos upstairs in Mingyuan. Yao Qisheng, Wang Shaobo and other cronies rushed up to help Fatty Lu, shouting that Doctor Zhu came to save people, and at the same time  He murmured in his heart, "If the boss didn't pretend to be dizzy, then he must be dizzy with joy. This time, he even has an excuse to start a war with Guo Zhuangtu."

    Note: A note that has been forgotten for a long time, Wu Shifan's name is actually written as Wu Shifan accurately, but the ghost character '­[' is really difficult to type, so I always make mistakes and keep typing it as Wu Shifan.  In addition, it is a historical fact that Guo Zhuangtu sent someone to falsely spread the will of Wu Shifan, and hang Wu Yingqi, Wu Shijun, and Wu Shixuan to death in Zhenyuan, Guizhou. At that time, Hunan, which was controlled by Wu Jun, basically fell.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 387 Traitor's merits and demerits

    ?

    After Li Xiongfei's detailed introduction, Fatty Lu knew that Wu Yingqi's death was not so much hanged to death by Guo Zhuangtu, as he was killed by his own stinky mouth, forcing Guo Zhuangtu to take his life¡ª  ¡ª But it doesn't matter, this happened to be the death method of Wu Yingqi that Fatty Lu wanted most. It helped Fatty Lu resolve countless troubles, relieved countless troubles, and also helped Fatty Lu establish countless advantages.

    After the death of the traitor Wu, the biggest obstacle for Fatty Lu and the Pingxi Palace to completely tear apart his face is actually Wu Yingqi. Wu Yingqi is not only Fatty Lu's elder, but also the father of Fatty Lu's friend Wu Shizong, and also the guide for Fatty Lu to enter the Pingxi Palace.  , Fatty Lu's benefactor who stepped into the official career-although he was an official who rewarded Fatty Lu only after receiving a bribe from Fatty Lu.  After all, the kindness is really put here. After the death of old man Wu, Fatty Lu dared to rebel against anyone in the Pingxi Palace, and dared to kill anyone. Only with Wu Yingqi, Fatty Lu would never rebel against him, let alone kill him!

    As for Wu Shifan, the eldest grandson of old traitor Wu, he is nothing in the eyes of Fatty Lu, not to mention that he has no friendship or kindness with Fatty Lu, half of Wu Shifan's Aixinjueluo family lineage alone, Fatty Lu has a hundred  The reason is against him to kill him, and there are a hundred ways to kill him quietly¡ªfor example, after controlling Wu Shifan, Fatty Lu asked his hardcore lackeys Xiao Erlang and Yuan Jinwei to put some bad medicine in front of the foolish boy Fang Shiyu, and then give it to him.  Fang Shiyu made something convenient and created some opportunities, Fang Shiyu would definitely tear Wu Shifan apart!  Then Fatty Lu can completely eradicate Fang Shiyu and the members of the Tiandihui in the team, and avenge the little emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. By the way, he also has a reason to turn his face with Zheng Jing, the backer of the Tiandihui.

    Only Wu Yingqi, Fatty Lu killed him because he was neither filial nor righteous. He didn't have the slightest excuse for righteousness, and he couldn't explain to the old man of Pingxi Palace in the fat man's army, and he couldn't convince other old men of Pingxi Palace who could win over him.  But what Fatty Lu could never have imagined in his dreams was that Guo Zhuangtu, the good son-in-law of the old traitor Wu, was so mean and loyal that he killed Wu Yingqi, father and son, and Fatty Lu screamed and scolded Guo Zhuang  Apart from the fact that Tu is not as good as a beast, in his heart, he can't wait to hold Guo Zhuangtu in his arms and kiss him hard¡ªgood man!  Lu Sanhao is a better person than me who speaks kind words, has good intentions, and does good deeds!

    But then again, Wu Yingqi's death was indeed caused by himself. Guo Zhuang tried to kill him because he had unspeakable difficulties. He was forced to move by Wu Yingqi.  I know, maybe I will support my son-in-law to kill this unfilial son!  Slaughter this two hundred and five sons!

    What Li Xiongfei knew was like this. After Xia Guoxiang and Ma Bao failed in Chizhou earlier this year, Xia Guoxiang turned his face with Wu Yingqi who refused to distribute food and grass when he returned to Wuchang.  Fighting with Du Hui to death, Xia Guoxiang and Wu Yingqi almost caused the first firefight in Wuchang. In the end, Hu Guozhu, who was in command of the old man Wu, had no choice but to transfer Xia Guoxiang's troops back to Yuezhou to rest and supplement  Ammunition and wounds were prepared to be put into the Hanbei battlefield, and Wang Pingfan's army attacked Tongguan from inside and outside.

    At the same time, in order to prevent Wu Yingqi, the 250, from doing stupid things, Hu Guozhu placed Ma Bao's army on the line from Jiujiang to Nanchang.  Next, another elite Wu army was given to the dog traitor Fatty Lu with a human face and a beast heart.  Li Xiongfei, who was originally stationed in Jiujiang, was transferred back to Wuchang by Hu Guozhu because he was from the Fat Army, and he was arranged to serve in Wu Yingqi's army.

    Later, after the old traitor Wu ascended the throne in Xi'an on the first day of April, on the fourteenth day of the fourth month, the imperial edicts were sent to Wuchang on the day of April 14, when Wu Shifan was enthroned as the grandson of the emperor, and Wu Yingqi was enshrined as the king of Jing.  The old traitor must have sent this edict before the enthronement ceremony.  And after reading the imperial edict conferring Wu Shifan as the grandson of the emperor, Wu Yingqi immediately cursed in front of many of his subordinates, accusing his father of being blind and ignorant, leaving himself, a son who is both civil and military, brave and resourceful, not to be crowned prince, but to be dissatisfied  The 12-year-old grandson is the grandson of the emperor, and he is simply dizzy and took the wrong medicine, so he is old and confused!

    Fortunately, Wu Yingqi still has some respect for the traitor father. As long as the traitor father is still alive, no matter how dissatisfied Wu Yingqi is, he will not dare to break his face with his father. He can only smash his teeth and swallow blood, honestly  After accepting the imperial edict, he took office as King Jing, and began to prepare to build the Wuchang Palace for his father¡ªto take the opportunity to make a lot of money.  But what no one expected was that after only four or five days, Hu Guozhu sent another traitor Wu's order, ordering Wu Yingqi to temporarily put down his work, temporarily hand over the army to Hu Guozhu's unified command, and return to Yunnan to meet the traitor Wu and his comrades.  The family members of the generals in Pingxi Palace, old and young, escorted these family members to move to Wuchang.

    ? Although he was unwilling to hand over his military power, the traitorous old man WuGuan, being a dog for Miqing to kill anti-Qing righteous men and Emperor Yongli is a stain that you will never wash away. No matter how you explain it, how you beautify it, and how I will cover it up for you in the future, your filth of betraying the country and seeking glory  , and it can never be washed off, never covered up, and the ancestors of China will never forgive you when you go underground.  You are on the verge of defeat in the battle for world hegemony, and you die at the last moment before complete victory, which is your retribution.  "

    "But grandfather, you are not completely without credit." Fatty Lu suddenly changed his address, and murmured in a low voice: "It is your filial piety to save your father when you were thirteen;  Years, it is your loyalty to swear to the death not to surrender Man Gou; Man Gou enters the pass, among the four traitor kings, only you have never slaughtered a Han city for Man Gou, and you would rather endure hardships than dig people's dikes, it is your benevolence  It is your righteousness to treat your family and subordinates kindly, keep your promises. In the end, you repented and rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. No matter in this history or in the original history, you are the one who wiped out the most sinful dogs and parasites on the battlefield  Han people, this is your merit, your first contribution."

    "Your second contribution is in the southwest." Fatty Lu continued: "In the period of history I live in, without you, Southwest Yunnan and Guizhou would be the second cantaloupe and the second plateau in the late Qing Dynasty.  Guiyang in the late Qing Dynasty also had to pay homage to the extravagant family and set up a monument to commemorate it. On the heads of the poor fourth-class Han people in the post-Qing Dynasty, there will also be a third-class people who show their might. No matter how others understand it, I insist that you  Having made great achievements in the Southwest is also the second part of your sinful life."

    "Grandfather, thank you." Fatty Lu tilted his wine glass slightly, slowly sprinkled the wine on the spirit of old traitor Wu, and said in a low voice: "Without you, I would not be here today.  There will be today's sunset, and I can't see the hope of reshaping China. If I can have such a day, I will definitely treat your descendants well and repay your kindness."

    Gradually the wine was poured out, and two tears also fell from the corners of Fatty Lu's eyes. This time, Fatty Lu's tears really flowed.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 388

    ?

    (ps: The Internet was disconnected. Number 10,000 said it would be fine more than two hours ago, and two hours later, Pure Wolf could only walk one kilometer to upload to the Netcom of a friend's house.)

    Decided to use the banner of Fengtian, who is extremely shameless, to avenge Wu Yingqi, and the decision to openly fight against Wu Jun has been finalized, but it is unrealistic to ask the Fatty Army to immediately send troops to fight Wu Jun to the death.  The consumption is very huge, and all kinds of firearms have not had time to mass-produce equipment. Just going to a decisive battle with the Wu army who also has new firearms, the chances of winning are really not great;  Putting into the work of grain harvesting, when troops are dispatched at this time, it is difficult to effectively guarantee the logistics supply of the Fat Man Army-in this era when material transportation is all carried by ships and vehicles, logistics supply is a big tiger that devours manpower.

    So there is no other way, the fat army jackals and leopards headed by Fatty Lu have to temporarily suppress their excitement and joy, and focus on the brainwashing of the army, the production of firearms and the harvest of autumn grain, and temporarily adopt diplomatic means to cooperate with various forces.  Negotiations, negotiating with various Wu armies by means of differentiation and buying, trying to win the support of as many former friendly troops as possible, weakening Honghua's war power, and laying a political foundation for the decisive battle on the battlefield.

    Fortunately, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is very beneficial for the Fatty Army to stand still for the time being. The first is the economic level.  They were either worried about the lack of military pay, or they were troubled by the lack of self-sufficiency in food. The longer this situation lasted, the more beneficial it would be for the fat army.

    The second is internal problems. Kang Mazi imitated Lu Fatzi¡¯s huge debt due to issue military currency, and the Qing court will definitely not be able to repay it with so much silver. Once the time limit expires, the poor and poor people in the north will not be able to get the silver.  , it is destined to be full of public grievances, popular upheavals, and local government affairs paralyzed; Geng Jingzhong, Shang Zhixin, and Zheng Jing are in better condition, but they are too weak to fight alone, and they don't trust each other, stumbling each other, and internal friction  It is very serious, and it is impossible to really unite and fight against the fat man.

    As for the Wu army, without the giant pillar of the old traitor Wu, Guo Zhuangtu killed Wu Yingqi in a frenzy, and the Wu army will be divided as in history. The longer the time drags on, the more serious the division will be.  Without the Fatty Army's actions, the combat power would have to be reduced by at least half.

    As for the Fatty Army, there are certainly problems within the Fatty Army, but they are all trivial problems - for example, the Gao brothers and the Han brothers are at odds, and they want to see each other's jokes, but the two sides are not hostile to each other.  It didn't get into trouble.  At the same time, the fat army generals who came out of the poor place are very clear that there is no better happy place in this world besides Jiangnan, so naturally they don¡¯t want to go out of this happy place and return to the poor place to suffer and suffer.  , Subconsciously unwilling to cause internal strife and let the enemy take advantage of it, plus Fatty Lu's despicable means of winning people's hearts and uniting the army, so the internal cohesion of the Fatty Army at this time is definitely stronger than any army in the world.

    In view of these circumstances, Fatty Lu, who is already very good at sowing dissension, can flex his muscles by clearly recognizing the strengths and weaknesses of his side and the enemy. On the second day after receiving the news of Wu Yingqi's death, Fatty Lu sent a messenger with his own handwriting  Letter, traveled by sea to Guilin via Guangdong, contacted Wu Yingqi's eldest son, Wu Shicong, and expressed his willingness to fight against rebellion with Wu Shicong, punish Zhou traitor Guo Zhuangtu, avenge Wu Shicong's father, and repay Wu Yingqi's kindness.  At the same time, he also suggested that Wu Shicong form an alliance with his brother-in-law Shang Zhixin to open up a land connection with him.

    Of course, Fatty Lu also knows the situation that Guo Zhuangtu is facing. After killing Wu Yingqi, he will definitely lure Wu Shicong back to Kunming, and kill Wu Yingqi's eldest son who is destined to be punished in Kunming city. Can his letter be delivered?  Wu Shicong still had two ideas in his hand.  But it doesn't matter, it is good that the letter can be sent to Wu Shicong. If Guo Zhuangtu has already killed Wu Shicong, it would be better, then Guo Zhuangtu will not only further anger the Wu clan, but also anger the generals of the Wu army who are loyal to the old traitor Wu, causing Wu Jun  With faster division and faster internal strife, Fatty Lu also has more excuses to completely tear himself apart from the Honghua court.

    In addition, when sending letters to Wu Yingqi, Fatty Lu had to send a letter to his brother-in-law Shang Zhixin, introducing to Shang Zhixin the story of Wu Yingqi's murder, explaining his determination to fight for rebellion, and asking Shang Zhixin to send troops for help.  ¡ª¡ªFatty Lu can be sure that after reading this letter, his good uncle will definitely take the opportunity to get rid of the control of the Honghua court, tear himself apart with Guo Zhuangtu and Wu Shifan, and will definitely take the opportunity to instigate himself to send troops south to fight with them  Geng Jingzhong, who joined forces to attack the innocent and shot, took the opportunity to expand his territory and strength.

    when?And in this way, we wait for work with ease, and fight these three bastards on our own territory, which can also save a lot of expenses for the Southern Expedition, and at the same time have an excuse to take back Hangzhou¡ªthe use value of Zheng Jun in Hangzhou is almost the same, and it is time  Take back Hangzhou.  "

    "If these three-way gangsters confront us on the southern line, we will not be afraid." Fatty Lu said more confidently: "Just a few days ago, General Liu Jinzhong Liu, who was the first in Guangdong to play the banner of anti-Qing, sent an envoy to me  A secret letter was sent to me, telling me that Zheng Jing'er was short-sighted and greedy, and had already rejected his proposal to let Zheng Jing'er return Geng Jingzhong to Tingzhou, Fujian, and planned to send troops to capture Shaowu, Yanping and Xinghua, and then  After annexing the whole of Fujian (historical facts), Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing are about to turn against each other. General Liu Jinzhong is disheartened and determined to submit to our army and act as an inside line for our army to ambush inside Zheng Jing."

    "If General Liu Jinzhong didn't tell lies, then we don't have to worry about our southern line." Yao Qisheng nodded and said: "The three offals joined forces to attack, and we waited for work to annihilate their main force, and then took advantage of the momentum to go south. The three offals and our  Persevere, we just have to wait patiently, and it won't be long before the three offals will kill each other, and we will still reap the benefits."

    "I'm afraid they don't even have the qualifications to confront us for a long time." Fatty Lu smiled smugly, "The grain production areas in the north of Zhejiang have been smashed, and the three offals can't supply the army rations on the spot, and there is not much grain production in the rear.  , How long can the long-distance transportation last?"

    Yao Qisheng also had a smirk, knowing that the current situation in the world is that the fat man is alone and the world is chaotic. The fat man's army only needs to hold the essence of the territory and stabilize the interior. It won't be long before the enemy's interior, which is full of gunpowder, will explode one after another.  Fighting each other, wars everywhere and the people struggling to survive, the fat army with money and food and internal stability, Shi Shiran took the initiative to pick peaches, and this peach is Jiangshan.

    In fact, when Fatty Lu and Yao Qisheng said these words, the gunpowder barrels inside the Fatty Army's enemies had gradually begun to explode. In mid-July, after receiving the news that Fatty Lu had captured and killed Kang Mazi, Zheng Jing decided that Fatty Lu  It is inevitable that Geng Jingzhong will retaliate because of his collusion with the Qing army, and he also believes that Geng Jingzhong must not be the opponent of Fatty Lu, so Zheng Jing blatantly tore up Zheng Geng's peace agreement, and ordered his generals Feng Xifan and Wu Shu to send troops to attack Xinghua Mansion controlled by Geng Jingzhong.  With Shao Wu Mansion!

    Zheng Jing turned his back on the alliance and took the lead in killing each other, but Geng Jingzhong's true colors of being strong outsiders and being unpopular were fully exposed at this moment. Zheng Jun had just approached the city, and Xinghua guard Ma Chenglong and Shaowu guard Yang De didn't even make any resistance.  As soon as Kaesong surrendered (historical facts, recorded in the first volume of "Taiwan Provincial General Annals"), Zheng Jun successfully captured the two prefectures, surrounded Yanping Mansion, Fujian's largest grain producing area, and directly threatened Fuzhou Mansion, Geng Jingzhong's stronghold.  When the news reached Zhejiang, Geng Jingzhong cursed and decided to retaliate.

    At the same time, the news of Wu Shicong's murder was also confirmed. As early as late May, Guo Zhuangtu falsely passed on the decree of the old traitor Wu, falsely claiming that the old traitor Wu was seriously ill, and ordered Wu Shicong to return to Kunming Tuogu. Wu Shicong hurried back without knowing the plan.  As a result, as soon as he entered Yunnan, he was poisoned to death by Xu Zhongming, a confidant of the Guo Zhuangtu faction, and then used Wu Shifan's reputation to inform the generals of the Wu army, claiming that Wu Shicong had to be killed because he was trying to rebel¡ªbut this is not true.  There is no basis at all. Once Wu Shicong knew that his father was murdered by Guo Zhuangtu, he would definitely raise troops to question him, and then he would definitely join forces with the more dangerous Fatty Lu.

    After receiving the news of the death of Wu Yingqi and his four sons, Fatty Lu's father-in-law Wu Guogui unfurled the flag of Fengtian in Jingzhou, calling on all soldiers and horses of the Wu army to invite them to join Changde, and determined to return to Yungui to avenge his sworn brothers.  Guo Zhuangtu, who controlled Honghua's government, was so cruel to Wu's clan. Wu Guogui was the traitorous son of Wu, and he had won the hearts of the army with a large army. How could Guo Zhuangtu let him go?

    After Wu Guogui¡¯s appeal was issued, it quickly received responses from Wu¡¯s clan relatives and veterans of the Wu army. Wu Yingjing took the lead in responding with a flag and sent troops from Changsha to Changde to join forces with Wu Guogui.  , Then Wu Guozhu and Wu Zhimao raised troops in Sichuan, and Wang Pingfan of Xi'an and Xunyang Liu Zhifu also decided to respond.  Watch the fire from the other side.

    Civil strife is imminent, and Hu Guozhu and Fang Guangchen, who have a big picture, stand up for a difficult deal, but the result of the deal is doomed to failure. It is impossible for the Wu clan to reconcile with Guo Zhuangtu for self-protection, and it is impossible for Guo Zhuangtu to survive.  Yield, a huge storm that is about to sweep across the entire area controlled by the Wu army is gradually brewing.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 389 The Traitor's Legacy

    ?

    Back in time, when the news of Wu Guogui¡¯s initiative to attack Guo Zhuangtu was sent back to Kunming, the news was confirmed. The first order of Guo Zhuangtu, the actual ruler of the small court in Honghua, was to send Wu Guogui¡¯s younger brother Yuan Xinxing  Wu Guoren, the chief of the Firearms Battalion, was arrested and immediately ordered to beheaded. The civil and military officials of the Honghua court headed by Feng Su, Guo Chang, Laidu, and Lu Shuzi hurriedly stopped him. They all said that Wu Guoren had not actually participated in Wu Guogui's rebellion.  The hearts of the former officials of the palace were chilling, and they pushed all those who could have been won over to Wu Guogui's side, making it even more difficult to deal with.

    Wang Shirong, who only got a position as a Zhongshu Sheren in the Honghua court, also stood up and warned, saying that Wu Yingqi and his son were killed in Wu Guogui's mutiny, and Wu Yingqi deserved his punishment.  It is possible to turn hostility into friendship, but if Guo Zhuangtu kills Wu Guoren again, not only will the road to peace be completely blocked, but the Wu clan will also completely break with Guo Zhuangtu.

    After listening to the civil and military officials' remonstrance, Guo Zhuangtu remained silent for a long time, and then he let out a long sigh. He looked at the gray sky outside the hall, and said to himself: "Isn't it that I'm in an unending situation with the Wu clan?  ?¡±

    Wang Shirong, Feng Su, Che Wenlong and others were silent, knowing that what Guo Zhuangtu said was all the truth. Given the current situation, the conflict between Guo Zhuangtu and the Wu clan is indeed difficult to resolve. Once the Wu clan regains power,  Guo Zhuangtu's family will surely die without a place to bury them. The more Guo Zhuangtu prevents the Wu clan from taking power, the more hatred and hostility the Wu clan will have against Guo Zhuangtu. If Guo Zhuangtu insists on killing the Wu clan  , then in order to protect themselves, the Wu clan can only talk to Guo Zhuangtu with swords and guns, forming an endless loop that no one can break. Unless one party falls, this death struggle will never end.

    "Some people say that I am powerful, and they say that I coerce the emperor to order the princes and control the government." Guo Zhuangtu said to himself again, "But am I not powerful? The emperor is only twelve years old, can he control this chaotic situation?"  Can you sit firmly in the Great Zhou Dynasty? The Wu family accused me of killing Wu Yingqi and his son, but can I not kill Wu Yingqi and his son? Put Wu Yingqi back to Wuchang, he brought Wu Shicong and Lu Yifeng together to rebel, and Da Zhou immediately  You are all involved, you say, I killed Wu Yingqi and his son, is it for myself, or for the great Zhou?"

    All the civil and military officials in the Honghua court nodded silently. They all understood that Guo Zhuangtu had no choice but to kill Wu Yingqi and his son.  The two factions fought against each other and fell into civil war; the same is true if Wu Yingqi is killed but Wu Shicong is not.  Therefore, although Guo Zhuang tried to kill Wu Yingqi and his son, there were selfish factors, but from the overall point of view, it was for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and for the good of Wu Shifan!

    "Guo Xiang, you can only make two preparations." Fatty Lu's Dali parent officer Feng Su suggested: "One is to actively prepare for the war, guard the dangerous passes of Yunnan and Guizhou, and prevent the rebels from going south; the other is to send envoys to contact the rebels and communicate with all  General Lu contacted and presented Wu Yingqi's confession of attempted rebellion, explained the difficulties of killing Wu Yingqi and his son, won the support of generals who were not from the Wu clan, and appeased the Wu clan to negotiate peace with them and strive for a peaceful end."

    "That's the only way to go." Guo Zhuangtu sighed, and then said: "Everyone, hurry up and discuss how to deploy defenses in Yunnan and Guizhou, how to appease the Wu clan, and how to win the support of other generals?"

    After some discussions, relying on the team of the old traitor Wu to stay in Yunnan and Guizhou, the plan for the defense of Yunnan and Guizhou was quickly formulated. The defense of Guizhou was presided over by Li Benshen, the general in charge of Guizhou, and Guo Zhuangxing, Guo Zhuangtu¡¯s younger brother, was assisted.  He personally presided over the assignment of troops and horses to strictly guard the dangerous passes and important cities. At the same time, Dong Zhongmin, the governor of Wu Jun and Guangdong, was appointed as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.  Fortunately, there are still more than 30,000 troops in Yunnan and Guizhou, and there are enough firearms. There is no need to worry about the food and grass for the autumn harvest at the beginning, so the small Honghua court will not be able to support it for a while.

    When it was their turn to discuss appeasement of the Wu clan, the civil and military officials of the Honghua court had a difficult time, because the Wu clan who had been prosecuted by the teacher would definitely ask Guo Zhuangtu to hand over power no matter whether he accepted the appeasement or not.  A little bit of Guo Zhuangtu would certainly not agree.  Therefore, the Honghua court could only decide to send envoys to visit Wu Guogui, bestow high-ranking officials with titles, explain that Wu Yingqi was killed out of helplessness, and try to persuade Wu's clan to stop fighting¡ªof course, this is also basically impossible.  Guo Zhuangtu, who killed Wu Yingqi, father and son, would continue to be in power, and the Wu clan would neither agree nor dare to rest assured.

    In view of the fact that it is difficult to recruit the Wu clan successfully, we will try our best to win the support of the generals of the neutral faction.??More frankly, he smiled and said: "I can be sure that it is definitely more lively than the current Wuhua Mountain."

    "I'm not worried about that. I've learned from the past, so I'll naturally save my resources just in case." Fatty Lu grinned, then quickly pulled Wang Shirong away, and said with a smile, "Mr. Liangchen, please come to the city to talk.  I have already prepared a banquet for you to wash away the dust, General Wang and General Han are also waiting to kowtow to you."

    "Don't worry, you have to kowtow to me first." Wang Shirong threw off Fatty Lu, stretched his hand into his arms, took out a stack of bright yellow silk cloth from the fleshy part of his arms, and shouted: "Great Zhou Taizu Gao Emperor's edict, Yue County King Lu Yifeng  Lead the crowd to kneel down!"

    "The royal edict?" Fatty Lu was taken aback.

    "Proclaim the emperor!" Wang Shirong's face sank, and he shouted: "Before you didn't dare to change the banner, it was because Xia Guoxiang carefully withheld the edict that canonized you as the king of Yue County. Now that the late emperor's edict has been delivered, if you still think you are  Minister of the Great Zhou, correct me immediately!"

    "My minister is dead!" Fatty Lu hurriedly knelt down, and called the civil and military officials of Fatty's army to kneel down together, kowtowed and sang: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

    "By God's fortune, the Emperor Zhao said." Wang Shirong unfolded the will of the old traitor Wu and read aloud: "After my funeral, if there are foreign relatives who dominate the government, slaughter Wu's clan, mutilate my flesh and blood descendants, and try to usurp the government in vain,  Lu Yifeng, King of Yue County, saw the imperial edict and was granted the title of Prince of Yue. He launched a campaign against crimes, crusade against treacherous traitors, and revived the Great Zhou! The Wu clan, subjects of the Great Zhou, and soldiers of the three armies were all controlled by Prince Lu Yifeng of Yue.  Lu Yifeng, Prince of Yue, will make the decision on my behalf! I respect you!"

    Fatty Lu, who thought that the traitor Wu was going to kill him in the will, heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, "I obey the order, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

    "Prince Lu, please get up." Wang Shirong put down the edict of old man Wu's treacherous edict, and said to Fatty Lu lightly: "Prince Lu, I have done my duty as a courtier of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I will do my best to fight for you and eliminate your worries. Next  , but it all depends on you. Whether to be Zhou Gong or Zhu Yuanzhang is already in your mind."

    Fatty Lu was silent, knowing that the old traitor Wu must have anticipated the current situation before he was alive, so he left such a will, not only using himself to save his descendants, but also selling himself a big favor to let himself  Even if he wanted to rebel and seek rebellion, he would become dishonest and his words would be dishonest. With the last limit of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, he tied his hands and feet in an attempt to usurp the Wu family.

    "Old and immortal old fox, your abacus is too good!" Fatty Lu lamented from the bottom of his heart again.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 390 Relying on the Strong to Bully the Weak

    ?

    "Blackmail! Blackmail! This is shameless blackmail! Blackmail! Breaking promises! Relying on the strong to bully the weak! Lu Yifeng, I, Liu Guoxuan, really misjudged you! Misjudged you!"

    Roaring and roaring like thunder, Liu Guoxuan, the admiral of the North Army of Taiwan's Zheng Army, jumped up, crumpled Fatty Lu's Da Zhou Guoshu into a ball, and fell viciously back to the feet of Fatty's army envoy Chen Renjie, beside He You, Jiang Sheng, Lin  Zheng Jun generals such as Sheng and Qiu Hui were also full of anger, with their hands on their waist knives, and some people had already drawn their knives out of their sheaths. As soon as Liu Guoxuan gave an order, they could immediately chop up this hateful fat army envoy Chen Renjie with a head and mouse eyes.  Bolognese!

    Facing Liu Guoxuan's hysterical roar, and seeing the murderous generals of Zheng Jun with their swords in their hands, Chen Renjie, who was born under Xie Dong's sect, had no fear, and looked directly at Liu Guoxuan's angry eyes with a smile.  It's like sitting under the stage watching Huadan sing, with a hint of disdain and contempt in her smile.

    Liu Guoxuan sounded like he was yelling, and asked the general Zheng Jun present to chop up the fat army envoy with a nasty smile into dumpling stuffing, but he had already said the order several times, but Liu Guoxuan swallowed the order again.

    Liu Guoxuan didn't have the face to issue this order. As an ally, the Fatty Army promised a lot of money, and gave the Taiwan Army the city of Hangzhou, which is known as the paradise on earth, with both hands.  Promise, later the Qing army and Geng Jingzhong besieged Hangzhou City, and the Fatty Army did not hesitate to rescue him, showing the utmost benevolence and righteousness.

    Still as an ally, when the Fatty Army was flanked by the Qing Army, Geng Jingzhong Army, Hongmao Navy and Luocha soldiers, Zheng Jing's army unilaterally tore up the alliance and severed the alliance with the Fatty Army;  When the nearby Huzhou Fatty Army was besieged by the Qing army and Geng Jingzhong's army, Zheng Jing's army not only did not come to rescue, even if it was verbal support, but also took the initiative to give way to the Qing army and Geng Jingzhong's backup food and grass.  They were sent to the Huzhou battlefield in a steady stream, helping the Qing army and Geng Jingzhong in disguise to kill Huzhou soldiers and civilians of the fat army.

    With such a stark contrast, as long as Liu Guoxuan still has a little face and only the last bit of conscience left, he will not be able to issue this order to kill the envoy.  So after gritted his teeth for a long time with his chest heaving violently, Liu Guoxuan finally swallowed his anger and said coldly to Chen Renjie: "Go back and tell Lu Yifeng that Hangzhou is my land of Ming Dynasty, and the Yanping Palace in Taiwan is also a subject of Ming Dynasty. As long as we  The officers and men of the Yanping Prince's Mansion are still alive, so he will never get Hangzhou City again!"

    "Hangzhou is the land of our Han people!" Chen Renjie answered very decisively, and said loudly: "Hangzhou is on the way of our Dazhou army going south to conquer the Qing Qing barbarians and Geng Jingzhong's rebels.  , To recover China, we must take it back to open the way! General Liu Guoxuan, if you persist in your obsession and insist on refusing, our Great Zhou army will not hesitate to fight!"

    "Want to fight? Okay! Come on!" Liu Guoxuan's general Jiang Sheng couldn't bear it anymore, and roared loudly: "Since Lu Yifeng wants to fight, we welcome you at the Yanping Palace! If you want to fight, come, those who dare not fight are the grandsons of turtles!  "

    "This general, what you said is so true, the one who doesn't dare to fight is the son of a bitch!" Chen Renjie said with a sneer, "General Yang Yingyuan of the Great Zhou has already led 30,000 Great Zhou troops from Jiaxing.  They have already arrived at Shimen County, which is on the border of Hangzhou Prefecture, and are stationed at the city of Hangzhou at any time! Those who dare not fight are indeed Guisunzi!"

    "I'll cut you off first, you son of a bitch!" Jiang Sheng yelled and pulled out his waist knife, rushed forward and grabbed Chen Renjie's collar to chop him off.  He had already drawn out his knife and rushed to Chen Renjie's side.

    "Please." Chen Renjie took the initiative to stretch out his neck, sneered at Zheng Jun's generals whose foreheads were already throbbing with blue veins, and said provocatively: "Generals, please do so if you have the guts.  Has there ever been a generation who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Just a while ago, Master Li Ji of our Great Zhou was killed by Emperor Mangou himself in the Xiba Camp, and Chen Renjie would like to use Master Li as a role model!"

    Chen Renjie accepted death so calmly, Zheng Jun's generals hesitated, but Chen Renjie shouted: "Do it! Those who dare not kill are the grandsons! You have done too many shameless things, and you care about doing it once more?!  "

    The generals of Zheng Jun were almost blown away, but Liu Guoxuan roared with a livid face: "Get back, I, if you touch a hair of Mr. Chen, you will be killed! Get back! Come on, give these bastards to death!"  I pull it away!"

    Liu Guoxuan's personal soldiers stepped forward to stop them according to the order, Zheng Jun's generals had no choice but to withdraw their knives and back away, standing back to their original positions, Liu Guoxuan heaved a sigh of relief, then bowed his hands to Chen Renjie, and said helplessly: "Master Chen  , the subordinates are rude, please forgive me. But Liu Guoxuan really did not accept the request made by your army.?The situation where Geng Jingzhong and Monk Zhixin teamed up to attack and besiege, Zheng Jing couldn't help but change his face, Chen Shengwu, Zheng Bin, Wang Fanxi and Liu Yan and other anti-fat factions were so ignorant, they were suddenly speechless, Chen Yonghua, Chen Junyin and Xue Jinsi, etc.  The pro-fat faction didn't speak, and waited patiently for Zheng Jing to make up his mind.

    After being silent for a long time, Zheng Jing still couldn't make up his mind, and he was even more reluctant to hand over the city of Hangzhou, the nail that had been inserted into the south of the Yangtze River with great difficulty, hesitating.  Finally, Xue Jinsi lost his composure, and said, "My lord, please agree to Lu Yifeng's conditions. This is our only choice at present. Only in this way can we gain a firm foothold on the mainland, recruit troops and buy horses to strengthen our strength, and wait for the opportunity to enter the whole country."  But if we don't agree, without Lu Yifeng's action, it will be very difficult for us to resist just Geng Jingzhong's dog thief returning to the teacher's south!"

    Zheng Jing's body shook, and he began to waver. Seeing that Zheng Jing was tempted, Liu Yan, the sycophant over there, quickly echoed: "My lord, what General Xue, Military Master Chen, and Master Chen said is reasonable, and the general has also figured it out. Since Hangzhou is destined to be unable to defend  Don't worry, it's better to give Lu Yifeng the dog thief as a favor, not only to ease his anger, but also to re-alliance with him, and jointly attack our biggest enemy, Geng Jingzhong, the dog thief.  The thieves got another batch of food, weapons, and military pay to ease our urgent needs."

    "That's the only way." Chen Shengwu also took the opportunity to flag down the wind, and echoed: "Fortunately, Lu Yifeng's dog thief's appetite is only Zhejiang, and he agreed to draw the border with Fujian Province with us. It is also a good deal to exchange one Hangzhou for the whole province of Fujian.  .¡±

    "Lu Yifeng" Zheng Jing finally spoke, hesitantly said: "Can you fulfill your promise and not have Fujian's idea?"

    "Please rest assured, my lord, there is absolutely no problem with this." Most of the civil and military officials of Zheng Jun present shouted, "Lu Yifeng is a despicable and shameless dog thief, but he still speaks well. Last time in Hangzhou City,  Just an example."

    Zheng Jing closed his mouth again, and after a long time, Zheng Jing finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay then, return Hangzhou to Lu Yifeng's dog thief! Chen Shengwu, you take my king's order to Hangzhou and let Liu Guoxuan hand it over to you!"  Go out of Hangzhou City, return to Fujian by sea, bring back as much as possible, and re-sign an alliance with Lu Yifeng's dog thief to jointly attack Geng Jingzhong's dog thief! Also, try to get more food, grass, and military pay from Lu Yifeng's dog thief  Come back with firearms!"

    "I will follow orders." Chen Shengwu cautiously agreed.

    Although he decided to agree to the humiliating conditions proposed by Fatty Lu, Zheng Jing, who was still angry, kicked on the table that had been overturned, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Huangliang Yimeng! Huangliang Yimeng¡ª¡ª!"  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

 Chapter 391 Returning to Hangzhou

    ?

    ? In the first year of Zhaowu in the Great Zhou Dynasty, on September 27th, Fatty Army, who once broke off the alliance, and Taiwan's Zheng Army signed an alliance agreement again outside Hangzhou, agreeing to jointly strangle the remnants of the Zhejiang Qing Army and the Geng Jingzhong forces who betrayed the great cause of the Qing Dynasty.

    On the same day, the Suzhou Legion of the Fat Man Army carried out the covenant and presented 15,000 shi of military rations and 1,000 Miyoshi rockets to the Department of Taiwan Youwuwei General Liu Guoxuan who was stationed in Hangzhou.  The army withdrew to Fujian by sea, and at the same time took away all the supplies and luggage in Hangzhou, but there were still more than 5,000 soldiers recruited by Zheng Jun in Hangzhou who refused to go south, and chose to stay in Hangzhou to join the Fat Army.  The city of Hangzhou, which the Fatty Army gave to the friendly army as an abandoned son, finally returned to the Fatty Army in a peaceful manner.

    Still on the same day, after the Fatty Army entered the city to take over the defense, the first thing they did was to donate 15,000 shi of grain to the people in the city free of charge, and at the same time posted a notice to appease the people, strictly prohibiting the soldiers from raping, looting, and harassing the residents.  The people of Hangzhou, who lived miserable lives under the rule of Zheng Jun, were very grateful. They begged with tears, the Fat Army, the benevolent teacher, not to abandon Hangzhou and the people of Hangzhou.  He agreed with one mouthful, swearing in public on behalf of the Zhouyue Palace that he would never give up Hangzhou, and vowed to live and die with Hangzhou, so that the people of Hangzhou will feel safe.

    The news of the alliance between the Fat Man Army and the Zheng Army spread, and the remnants of the Qing Army in Zhejiang, entrenched in Shaoxing and Ningbo in the northeast of Zhejiang Province, were in chaos.  They were preparing to burn incense and pay homage, to carry pots and pulp, and to welcome the king's master to liberate Shaoxing and Ningbo. Many smart gentry and rich local households simply sent their confidantes and family members to offer letters of loyalty to the Fat Man Army in advance, expressing their willingness to lead the way.  party.  Even Tian Fengji, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army, quietly sent his confidants to sneak into Hangzhou, trying to get in touch with the Fatty Army and test whether the Fatty Army could accept his surrender.

    Geng Jingzhong was even more hit. Geng Jingzhong, who came to Yanzhou to try to reconcile with Fatty's Army, has already sent envoys to Nanjing six times to meet Lu Fatty.  Said that as long as Fatty Lu is willing, Prince Geng can chop off the heads of Huang Kun's family to apologize to Fatty Lu, and he is the only warlord force that congratulates Fatty Lu on becoming King Yue.

    In response to Fatty Lu's request for land, Lord Geng even offered to give up half of Zhejiang Province, draw Yiwu as a boundary with the Fatty Army, and give the control land in northern Zhejiang to the Fatty Army for free, in order to sign a non-aggression peace treaty with the Fatty Army.  , so that the main force of the Geng army can free up, turn around and go south to deal with Zheng Jing who is trying to annex his lair.  But what makes Prince Geng so angry is that Prince Geng has shown so much sincerity and made such a big concession, yet Fatty Lu still bites Lu Dongbin like a dog.  Form an alliance, and don't want to form an alliance with Prince Geng!

    After anger, of course there is fear. Although Geng Jun¡¯s careful work could not find out the specific content of the new covenant between Fatty Jun and Zheng Jun, Prince Geng can guess that this covenant is aimed at him in all likelihood, even if he is thinking with his toes.  However, the ambitious Zheng Jing and the Fatty Army eager for revenge must want to cut themselves into pieces and join forces to completely annex their own territory!  Soon, he will also face the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, and will be killed by Fatty Lu and Zheng Jing together!

    After watching with the same tension and fear for a period of time, on the fourth day of October, the envoy sent to Nanjing for the sixth time returned to Yanzhou, bringing Geng Jingzhong the news that Fatty Lu refused to seek peace again, and also brought Lu  Fatty's declaration of war also brought the news that Fatty Lu had arrived in Suzhou to personally command the battle on the southern front.  Hearing this news and seeing Fatty Lu's declaration of war, Prince Geng was furious and regretted that he didn't cut Fatty Lu with a knife, and was also completely desperate and completely helpless.

    Fatty Lu¡¯s pretext for starting the war was very good. He accused Geng Jingzhong of betraying the anti-Qing alliance and joining forces with the Qing army to rob him, so he had no choice but to retaliate by force, and refused to recognize Geng Jingzhong¡¯s ownership of every inch of land in Zhejiang.  , asked Geng Jingzhong to immediately lay down his arms and surrender, give up the whole territory of Zhejiang, and be enshrined in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and take him back to Fujian to be an idle prince, and his army was placed under the command of King Yue of the Great Zhou Dynasty!  Otherwise, as soon as the Heavenly Soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty arrive, the Jingnan Prince's Mansion will not pardon the old and the young.

    "A dog thief! A goddamn dog thief! A dog thief who succeeds in a villain!" Prince Geng tore Fatty Lu's declaration of war to shreds, and yelled with red eyes, "Fuck your mother's failed scholar, go to Laozi's Wanghai Tower!  Beggar seventh-rank sesame official! Without the five hundred taels of silver that I rewarded you back then, you can be a fucking official, and you can be a fucking official today? You are ungrateful! You are an ungrateful dog thief!"

    and ZhengYears, it means fattening up the pigs before killing them, no good intentions.

    There is no peace and good intentions. As soon as Fatty Lu announced his so-called benevolent government, he still won unanimous applause from the people, gentry and landlords in Hangzhou.  But in the crowd of common people who knelt down and thanked him, he was triumphant, his fat face almost bloomed with a smile, and the villain's ambition reached the extreme.

    In the end, Fatty Lu, who was not addicted to the prince, walked up to the team of local gentry in Hangzhou led by Wu Qi, shaking hands and greeting them one by one.  An old scholar in his seventies, because Fatty Lu was concerned about his age and body, and complained that he shouldn't come to greet him with all gray hair, the old scholar actually knelt down to Fatty Lu and shed tears  Thank you, "My lord cares so much about the grassroots, and treats the virtuous and virtuous corporals, even if the whole family of the grassroots is smashed to pieces, it will be difficult to repay the lord's great kindness."

    "Old man, please get up quickly, please get up quickly." Fatty Lu hurried to help the old scholar, and Wu Qi, the governor of Zhejiang, also came up next to him, and introduced to Fatty Lu: "My lord, please allow me to help you.  Let me introduce, this old gentleman is the well-known Mr. Zha Jizuo Zha Yihuang, Mr. Zha specially came from Haining to welcome you, my lord."

    "Zha Jizuo?!" Fatty Lu almost jumped up, and exclaimed, "You are Mr. Yihuang?"

    "Back to the lord, the Caomin is Zha Jizuo, sir, I don't dare to be it." Zha Jizuo was secretly happy, and hurriedly said: "The last time the lord sent his troops to the south, the Caomin wanted to come to Hangzhou to pay a visit to the lord, to see his dignity, but it's a pity that the lord  Soon the troops were sent back to the north, and the grass people often felt sorry for it, and the grass people are very lucky to see the prince today."

    "Has Mr. Cha Shenxing come?" Fatty Lu blurted out.

    "My lord, do you still know the nephew of Cao Min?" Zha Jizuo was a little dumbfounded, thinking that the old man's reputation is very famous, Lord Lu must have heard of the old man's name, how come he has even heard of the name of the old man's nephew?

    "Student check carefully, pay respects to the prince." A young man in his twenties couldn't wait to squeeze forward and kowtow to Fatty Lu.  When Fatty Lu hurriedly picked him up to take a closer look, he found that the man's face with Chinese characters was round and round, and he was so fat that he turned into a goose egg. It was indeed very similar to a famous coat that smeared Han Chinese heroes. Fatty Lu was overjoyed  Said: "Mr. Shen Xing, your great reputation has already been heard by this king. To see you today, this king is really lucky in three lives, lucky in three lives."

    "I have such a great reputation?" Cha Shenxing was also taken aback, and hurriedly said modestly: "The prince has won the award, the students really dare not be, dare not be."

    "Uncle Shao, come here." Fatty Lu beckoned, called Shaobo Wang who was on the side to him, and said to Zha Shenxing with a smile: "Mr. Cha, let me introduce you.  I hold the post of official Cao Zhangyin in my Great Zhouyue Palace. Shaobo, this is the famous Mr. Zha Shen Xingcha, a very talented young man, you know him well."

    "Long admiration, long admiration." Wang Shaobo cupped his hands in a salute inexplicably, thinking that his master had gone crazy, and Zha Shenxing was also famous, why hadn't I heard of it?  It was his uncle, Zha Jizuo, whose name I had heard of before.

    "Student Cha Shenxing, pay respects to Lord Wang." Cha Shenxing also knew that Fatty Army's Li Cao palm seal is equivalent to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who is in charge of the selection, appointment, promotion and transfer of all civilian officials in the Fatty Army's control area, and he dared not neglect  , Hurry up and say hello.

    "Uncle, Mr. Shen Xing is so young and promising, talented and rare, why don't you ask him if he is interested in serving for our Great Zhou court?" Fatty Lu's next words made Cha Shenxing overjoyed.  Looking at Wang Shaobo's shoulder, he smiled and said, "It's worth reuse."

    With a smile, Fatty Lu approached Wang Shaobo's ear again, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Remember this kid, use him again, secretly collect his criminal evidence, keep it hidden, and Zha Jizuo, the real truth of "Ming History Case"  The first accusation, the crime deserves ten thousand deaths, and when the overall situation is settled, I will leave it to you to kill their entire family."

    Wang Shaobo blinked his mung bean eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, I understand that since Mr. Cha is so good at financial management, there is just a vacancy in the Nanjing Customs Road Yamen, but I don't know if Mr. Cha is interested in becoming an official?"

    "Customs Road Yamen?!" All the literati present gasped. The fat army vigorously developed shipping and encouraged overseas trade.  After entering the customs, one can imagine the appreciation of Zha Shenxing.  Zha Shenxing was trembling with excitement, and quickly kowtowed to thank him, "My lord's kindness, my lord's promotion, my students will never forget it, even if a student is smashed to pieces, it is difficult to repay my lord and my lord's kindness."  !"

    "Mr. Cha, please get up quickly." Fatty Lu and Wang Shaobo, the pair of smiling tigers, hurriedly helped Zha Shenxing up, pouring ecstasy soup, boasting that Zha Shenxing was rare in the sky, unparalleled on the earth, and they were so ecstatic that they were dying together.  I snorted coldly in my heart, "Boy, just wait." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

 Chapter 392

    ?

    Geng Jingzhong wanted to join forces with Tian Fengji to resist the Fatty Army again, and his calculations were too wishful and confident. Tian Fengji was loyal to Kang Mazi, but now Kang Mazi has been burned into the toilet by Lu Fatty for the common people to enjoy  Now, Tian Fengji, who had lost allegiance and lost contact with all the Qing army, naturally had only two options left, one was to fight alone to the end, and take the 30,000 Qing army remnants in his hand to be buried with Kang Mazi,  The second is to surrender to save his life, and go to other courts to become officials and make a fortune.

    Tian Fengji, who was instilled with the idea of ??loyalty to the emperor since he was a child, certainly did not want to bow his knees to the enemy, and Tian Fengji's birthplace also determined that he could not surrender to the fat army casually.  It is big, with hundreds of people, and built a Panlong Village in the northeast of Hucun. The family property is abundant. If Tian Fengji goes wrong, all these things will be wiped out.  So when Kang Mazi was captured and killed, and his friendly army Geng Jingzhong shamelessly rebelled, Tian Fengji took the remnants of the Qing army back to Shaoxing to survive, hoping for a miracle to happen.

    Of course, Tian Fengji was not reconciled to burying Kang Mazi. After ten years of hard study, he was finally admitted to a Jinshi, and it took another 19 years to climb from a humble scholar to the position of a feudal official. How much hardship he suffered during this period  , how much hard work and bitterness has been put in, this has finally climbed to the top of the magistrate, but he will be buried with Kang Mazi soon, and Tian Fengji is not a saint, how can he not have any ideas and no unwillingness?  Therefore, after receiving the news that the main force of the Fatty Army was marching south, Tian Fengji finally subconsciously sent his confidants to infiltrate Hangzhou after hesitantly, and tried to contact the high-level Fatty Army to test whether the Fatty Army could accept the surrender of the remnants of the Qing Army in Zhejiang.  Whether to accept Tian Fengji's own surrender.

    The secret envoy was sent out, but Tian Fengji still hadn't made up his mind whether to fight the Fatty Army to the end or surrender to the Fatty Army. Even if the secret envoy brought the news that the Fatty Army would surrender  Determined to surrender, let alone control over 30,000 remnants of the Qing army, let them lay down their weapons and surrender smoothly¡ª¡ªTian Fengji's deputy leader, Mite Qing Dutong Mahada, surnamed Tong Jia, is one of the four evil slaves that Fatty Lu ordered to kill  The direct descendants of the family, the hands of the whole family are covered with the blood of the Han people. Fatty Lu will not accept his surrender, and it is impossible for Mahada to surrender to Fatty.  It is very likely that there is no chance to surrender to the fat man army.

    The distance between Shaoxing prefecture city and Hangzhou city is not too far. On the afternoon of the ninth day of October, Tian Qi, a confidant family member sent by Tian Fengji to Hangzhou, returned to Shaoxing from Hangzhou, and brought Tian Fengji accurate news of contacting the Fatty Army.  Seeing Tian Qi's return, Tian Fengji cautiously questioned Tian Qi in public why he hadn't been seen for a few days, and where did he go?  Tian Qi replied that her father-in-law who lived in Qianqing Town was seriously ill, and went to Qianqing Town to visit her father-in-law before she had time to ask for leave, and kowtowed to Tian Fengji to plead guilty, Tian Fengji scolded Tian Qi, and then let Tian Qi go back to her room  Take a break, and join forces with Tian Qi to perform a play in front of other unreliable servants, so as not to leak the news.

    After more than half an hour, Tian Fengji put aside the crowd and went back to the study to rest under the pretext of having a secret meeting with Tian Qi in the study. As soon as they met, Tian Fengji couldn't wait to ask Tian Qi in a low voice: "How is it? Did you see the general of the Great Zhou army?"  ? Is there any answer?"

    Tian Qi was a little dejected, and replied in a low voice: "Back to the master, the villain met the king of Yue Lu of the Great Zhou the night before, and also passed on your wax book, but after reading your wax book  , and after discussing with the important ministers of the Great Zhou court, he told the villain that he could not accept your surrender, sir."

    "Lord Lu doesn't believe me?" Tian Fengji was disappointed.

    "No, it's not that the lord doesn't believe in you, sir." Tian Qi quickly shook her head, and said in a low voice: "Lord Lu asked the villain to tell the lord that he believed that you really surrendered, but he also learned from Li Zhifang, who surrendered earlier.  I learned about your situation and know that the master¡¯s family and relatives are all in Shanxi. If you surrender, it will only harm your family. Also, Lord Lu is worried that General Mahada will not listen to your command. Even if you surrender, you will not be able to control the army.  It would be dangerous instead."

    "Li Zhifang? You really know me well." Tian Fengji smiled wryly.

    "Later, Lord Lu said again." Tian Qi added in a low voice: "Lord Lu arranged for you two options, one is that after the war, you can escape to the port of Sanjiangchang, and from there you can go to sea by sea.  Go back to Shanxi to reunite with your family. As long as you show the token he gave you, the Great Zhou army will not stop you. The second option is that after the Great Zhou army breaks through Shaoxing, you will secretly surrender to the Great Zhou army.  Zhou Junjun will announce in the battle report that you have died in the line of duty, so that Man Gou will not harm your family, and then you can choose to sneak back to Shanxi secretly, orIf there is no chance of a surprise victory, Mahada is completely at a loss what to do.

    The frontal attrition battle lasted for five full hours from the middle of noon until half past You, before Li Tianzhi finally dispatched the third infantry unit of the Fat Man Army to step up the frontal offensive, which had been weakened by physical exertion and casualties.  However, there are still more than 20,000 infantrymen of the Fat Man Army who continue to stand still and wait for the opportunity of a general attack.  Seeing such a situation, and seeing the fat army's new force rushing forward to fight, Mahada finally couldn't hold on any longer, and shouted: "Ming Jin! The front team becomes the rear team, and the rear team becomes the front team. Fight and retreat, retreat!  Shaoxing defends the city!"

    "General Ma, at this time, Mingjin and Wugou must attack in an all-out manner, which will increase our casualties." Deputy Ekuna exclaimed.

    "If we continue to fight like this, we won't even have the troops to defend the city!" Mahada yelled with red eyes, "Withdraw! Keep the troops to defend the city! Fuck your mother Wu dog, bullying people because of the number of people, if I have  The backup is supplemented by troops, anyway, death is a Han dog, I will be afraid of confronting you?!"

 Chapter 393

    ?

    ? When the golden gong rang, the Fatty Army's Mahada Division of the Qing Army began to retreat. The rear team became the front team, and the front team changed to the rear team, and they retreated from the battlefield in an orderly manner.  Seeing this scene, the fat army cheered thunderously, and countless generals of the fat army rushed to Li Tianzhi, asking for a general offensive. Even Yao Qisheng, the strategist of the fat army, agreed with this tactic and suggested to Li Tianzhi: "General Li, it's time for a general attack!"  , if you kill one more Mangou in the field, you will have less resistance when attacking the city."

    "Not busy." Li Tianzhi still looked unhurried, raised his binoculars to carefully observe the situation when the Qing army retreated, and after a while he praised: "We can't attack all the time yet, Man Gou, the leader of the army, is a bit capable, and the pioneers are not rash."  , The latter is orderly, and it is rare to be able to do this when retreating from the battle. At this time, the general attack will not take advantage of it, and it will increase our casualties."

    Putting down the binoculars, Li Tianzhi ordered again: "The Chinese army advances slowly, keeping a distance of two miles from the Mangou brigade. The front team pursues and bites the Mangou's tail. Then send orders to Yitanbu to let his cavalry quickly intersperse and roundabout  Go to the front of the full-dog team's retreat route to intercept, block the full-dog retreat, force the full-dog team into chaos, and wait until the full-dog team is in chaos before launching a general attack."

    The generals of the Suzhou Legion of Fatty Army, who had long been accustomed to Li Tianzhi's conservative style, agreed, and reluctantly followed the order, commanding the middle army of the Fatty Army to advance slowly, chasing the Qing army in an orderly manner, and always keeping the queue in order.  Yao Qisheng on the side praised: "General Li is really stable, no wonder the prince can rest assured to hand over the southern line to you, and never worry about the southern line."

    "Military division is too much." Li Tianzhi said modestly: "Li Tianzhi is stupid, his only strength is a little self-knowledge, knowing that he is not as good as General Gao Dejie in surprise battles, not as good as General Wang Xu in tough battles, and not as flexible in tactical command as General Han Daren.  It's even worse than the unrestrained and unpredictable nature of the prince's use of soldiers. Therefore, Li Tianzhi can only take the word of stability, and would rather not have military exploits, and never be greedy for exploits, risk the lives of soldiers, and not fight uncertain battles."

    "It's rare for General Li to be so humble." Yao Qisheng flattered him, but he secretly admired Fatty Lu's ability to employ people well. Putting Li Tianzhi, who had a stable personality, on the Zhejiang battlefield to overwhelm others, not only could he avoid capsizing in the gutter, but also  It can minimize the unnecessary consumption of the Fat Man Army on the secondary battlefield of Zhejiang.  Basically, it can be said that if Han Daren, Gao Dejie, and Wang Xulai were replaced on the southern front, with their combat style, it would definitely take half or even less time to end the Zhejiang war, but the casualties and consumption of the Fatty Army are definitely lower than  Lee Cheon-sik is much bigger.

    Li Tianzhi's prudent tactics once again hit Mahada's seven inches. Even though his own army had already retreated in large strides, the fat army still did not launch a general attack, but only advanced slowly and steadily in pursuit. Mahada inevitably groaned secretly, knowing that  If the Fatty Army attacked and pursued, the formation would inevitably be chaotic. As long as I kept the Qing army in order and retreated in an orderly manner, the loss would not be too great, and at the same time, it would cause more casualties to the Fatty Army.  However, the Fatty Army also maintained an orderly pursuit, which was more troublesome for the Qing Army. If the Fatty Army protruded and rushed into the queue, the whole army would collapse and be massacred wantonly by the Fatty Army.

    In desperation, Mahada had no choice but to order the generals at all levels to order the three armies to retreat slowly, resolutely maintain a dense formation, and never give the fat army a chance to make a surprise attack.  Therefore, Mahada's order was resolutely implemented. More than 15,000 Qing infantrymen worked hard to stabilize their formation and retreat while resisting the violent impact of the front team of the Fat Man Army, while slowly retreating eastward.  However, due to the different types of arms, the cavalry of the Qing army on the two wings of the battlefield could not do this. They were rushed to pieces by the ferocious fat cavalry, and gradually retreated to the east.  Free up your hands to gradually build up.

    After another meal time, the fat army cavalry team led by the traitor Itambu was completely gathered, and then charged, outflanked and detoured to the front of the retreating direction of the Qing army, and began to block the retreat of the Qing army with bows, arrows and muskets.  Seeing this scene, the Qing army was in a panic. Mahada urgently ordered his deputy Ekuna to lead the army forward to open the way, and rushed forward against the dense rain of arrowheads, trying to close the distance with Itambu for hand-to-hand combat. Itambu  Then he quickly commanded the cavalry of the Fat Man Army to turn their horses' heads, while trotting forward to keep a distance from the Ekuna army, while turning their heads and shooting arrows, shooting and killing the Ekuna army who were chasing their own army on foot.  In the middle, the Qing soldiers of Ekuna's team fell down howling, and gradually fled towards the two wings. Ekuna tried his best to restrain him, but it was still useless.

    After shooting down nearly half of Ekuna's former army, Itambu suddenly ordered the former army to turn around and launch a countercharge against Ekuna's army. More than 4,000 fat cavalry cavalry galloped westward like a torrent.  In an instant, more than a thousand infantrymen of Ekuna were swallowed up, and the sound of shouting and killing echoed in the sea of ??cavalry in an instant.I caressed a group of pirates called stinky red meat, but because they hadn¡¯t paid their military salary for more than four months, that group of pirates went to the sea to rob again last month, and abducted a large amount of ammunition from the Mangou Ningbo Navy.  Now Ningbo Mangou, regardless of the navy or the army, can only defend the city and the port at most, and can't use the strength to launch an attack. Due to the arrears of military pay and isolation and helplessness, morale has declined sharply.  "

    "Okay!" Li Tianzhi patted his thigh with great joy, and ordered: "Hurry up and send an order to Yang Yingyuan, let him lead the troops of the headquarters, chase and kill the defeated army who fled to Shangyu overnight, and must wipe out the remnants of Mangou on the bank of Cao'e River, and then  Then stay and rest, and leave the task of cleaning the battlefield to others."

    "General Li, General Yang's headquarters are the second and third batches of troops to enter the battlefield, and they are quite tired." Yao Qisheng reminded.

    "I have to chase after I'm tired. I have to keep the vitality for the prince." Li Tianzhi said solemnly: "The news that we are full of dogs in Shaoxing will soon reach Geng Jingzhong's ears. Geng Jingzhong's child is alone and helpless.  Hangzhou, I don¡¯t want to leave a new force just in case something happens in Hangzhou, what should I do?¡±

    "It's still General Li's careful calculation." Yao Qisheng smiled, no longer objected, and let Li Tianzhi's personal soldiers go out of the city to deliver orders.

    "General Li, Commander Yao, the guilty minister has an idea." Tian Fengji suggested: "The student has a little friendship with Chen Shikai, the vice-admiral of the Ningbo Navy who is full of dogs, and he has a good relationship with Giltabu. The guilty minister intends to write two letters to the  Zhenhai Port and Ningbo City, recruit them for the Zhou army."

    "Master Tian's plan is very clever, but in this way, your family in Shanxi?" Yao Qisheng asked hesitantly.

    "The criminals have already donated Shaoxing City to the Great Zhou Army, and the fire can no longer be covered with paper, so why should we worry about it?" Tian Fengji said with a wry smile: "I can only write another letter, and ask the Great Zhou Army to send it to you."  Shanxi, let's see if they can move and hide in time."

    Li Tianzhi was silent, sympathizing with Tian Fengji's current situation, and then nodded vigorously and said: "Well, please, Mr. Tian, ??please repair the books for your family as soon as possible. I will immediately arrange for a fast boat to send you to Hangzhou overnight. Please send Mr. Tian to you as quickly as possible."  sent his family letter to Shanxi."

    "General Li, please ask your lord to seal the Qiantang River tightly, cut off the connection between Shaoxing and Geng Jingzhong, and let Geng Jingzhong know as little as possible about the situation on the Shaoxing battlefield." Yao Qisheng reminded Li Tianzhi, and then Yao Qisheng turned his eyes and immediately turned to Tian Fengji and said  : "Master Tian, ??can I trouble you to write another letter of appeal to Geng Jingzhong? Just say that we attacked Shaoxing City fiercely, you fought very hard to defend the city, and the food and grass in the city can only last for a month at most. Please ask him  Fulfill the covenant, quickly send troops to rescue Shaoxing City, or encircle Wei and rescue Zhao to support it."

    "Of course no problem." Tian Fengji smiled and replied: "I signed the covenant with Geng Jingzhong. Of course he believed the letter I wrote for help." (To be continued.

 Chapter 394 Bargaining

    ?

    "Guangwu, you left in such a hurry, did Tian Fengji send someone to ask for help?"

    Seeing his confidant Xu Wenyao hurrying to the door with a letter in his hand, before Xu Wenyao could open his mouth to report, Prince Geng immediately asked Xu Wenyao why he came, and Xu Wenyao nodded in shock and admiration.  Prince Geng couldn't help but smiled, very proud of his ability to predict things like a god, and then he knocked on Erlang's leg and asked with a big face: "Where did Lu Gou fight? How is the battle going?"

    "Lu Gou has already fought under the city of Shaoxing." Xu Wenyao quickly replied: "According to Tian Fengji's statement in the letter, the Man Gou garrison once mustered up the courage to go out of the city and fight Lu Gou, but they were quickly beaten to death by Lu Gou.  After fleeing back to Shaoxing City and guarding behind closed doors, Lu Gou then stormed Shaoxing. The battle was fierce and both sides suffered heavy losses. Tian Fengji was worried that he would not have enough troops, and he was also worried that there would be insufficient food and grass in the city. Please send troops quickly, my lord, or  Directly reinforce Shaoxing, or encircle Wei and rescue Zhao to attack Hangzhou, and cut off Lugou's food supply."

    "Okay! Good! Good!" Lord Geng called out three hellos in a row, applauded excitedly, and said more proudly: "It's good to fight fiercely, and the more fierce the better, the more fierce the fight between Mangou and Lugou is."  , the more beneficial it is to this king.¡±

    "My lord, Shengming, it would be better for Wugou's East Expedition Army to fight with Mangou and die together. Then we will be more relaxed." Xu Wenyao hurriedly flattered him, then quickly picked up the letter in his hand, and said flatteringly: "This is Tian Fengji.  Please read the letter of plea for help in your own handwriting, the envoy he sent is also waiting outside the Xingyuan Gate, and the prince can send it to you at any time."

    "Don't read it, as long as you know the general content, Tian Fengji's envoy, the king, will not see you either." Prince Geng waved his hand to refuse, and then ordered: "Go and tell Tian Fengji's envoy, just say that the king has a minor illness, so I won't see him.  He went back to Shaoxing to tell Tian Fengji, let Tian Fengji rest assured, as long as he persists in defending Shaoxing City, the king's rescuers will soon set out to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao to attack Hangzhou."

    Xu Wenyao agreed, and hurried out of the hall to answer, but Geng Jun general Ma Jiuyu was a little worried, and reminded: "My lord, it's best to meet Tian Fengji's envoy, learn more about the current situation in the Shaoxing battlefield, and judge whether the remnants of the Mangou army can survive."  How long it lasts, our army can formulate countermeasures and make preparations."

    "Why did you meet him? After seeing him, he asked the king to send troops immediately on behalf of Tian Fengji. Will the king agree or not?" Prince Geng sneered, and said grandly: "As for the specific situation of the Shaoxing battlefield, let Zeng Yanghe and Bai Xianzhong send more troops.  Just go to Shaoxing to investigate carefully, and we can directly ask the Mangou messenger, can we get the truth? Mangou is not an idiot, in order to let us send troops as soon as possible, can he tell us the truth?"

    Ma Jiuyu thinks about it carefully. In order to let us dispatch troops as soon as possible, the messenger he sent will naturally not tell the truth to us, but will only do everything possible to lure us to send troops, and may even be caught by his false information.  Confused, Ma Jiuyu no longer insisted, but begged Lord Geng to give Zeng Yanghe and Bai Xianzhong an order to closely monitor every move on the battlefield in Shaoxing, and Lord Geng agreed without hesitation.

    Prince Geng, who was determined to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, probably never dreamed that at the time when he and Ma Jiuyu were discussing the military situation, at the same time, on the afternoon of October 20, the first year of Zhaowu in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Fatty Army's 30,000 Eastern Expedition  The army, under the personal leadership of Yang Yingyuan, the deputy commander of the Fat Army's Suzhou Legion, has already reached Changxi Ridge, Cixi County, the west gate of Ningbo, which is less than 80 miles away from Ningbo Fucheng!  (Cixi County was located in Changxi Ridge in the Qing Dynasty, and the current Cixi was called Sanshansuo in the Qing Dynasty.)

    At the same time, the main force of the Fatty Army navy led by Li Guodong has directly killed Jintangshan Island across the sea from Zhenhai City, cutting off the connection between Zhenhai Port and Zhoushan Islands. The last Zhejiang Qing army in Ningbo  The army was also in chaos. Some vowed to resist to the end, and some suggested surrendering to the fat man's army. There were also many soldiers who had simply become deserters. People were extremely panicked.  The coach of the Ningbo Qing Army, Jill Tabu, and the coach of the Navy, Chen Shikai, were also very hesitant, not knowing how to choose.

    The reason why the Fatty Army was able to fight from Shaoxing City to Changxi Ridge in six days was due to the surrender of the Qing army and the party leading the way. In the early morning of October 15th, Yang Yingyuan's army first caught up with Cao'e River and was blocked by the river.  It took more than an hour for the troops of Lang Su, the remnant of the Qing army in Shaoxing, to wipe out the remnants of the Qing army, which had less than 600 soldiers, and cut off Lang Su's head in the battle, and then killed them by the Cao'e River.  After a day's rest, I rushed to build a pontoon bridge across the river.

    Immediately afterwards, Li Tianzhi sent another rear army to bring Tian Fengji, the governor of Zhejiang who had just surrendered, and some local Qing soldiers in Zhejiang who voluntarily surrendered. With the help of Tian Fengji and these local Qing soldiers, the fat soldiers recruited Shangyu without bloodshed.  The two counties of Yuyao and Yuyao easily opened the road to Ningbo.  Ningbo Qing Army?Hongxun was desperate and chose to hang himself, ending his sinful life of betraying and massacring his compatriots in exchange for prosperity and wealth.  But even so, Fatty Lu, an angry youth from the former Qing Dynasty, still did not forgive Xu Hongxun's family members who remained in Shaoxing City. His two sons were skinned, and his wife and daughter were sent to the Fatty Army's prostitute camp to accompany Cao Yin's whole family of women.

    It took less than half a month to end the war on the Eastern Front. Li Tianzhi immediately ordered Yang Yingyuan to transfer 20,000 troops back to Hangzhou, and he personally led the Shaoxing army, which had been expanded to more than 45,000 through the reorganization of prisoners of war, to withdraw to Hangzhou first.  Start the war against Geng Jingzhong's army on the western front.  It was not until Li Tianzhi's army withdrew from the Qiantang River and was stationed in Fuyang County in the south of Hangzhou that Geng Jun's generals Zeng Yang and Bai Xianzhong, who were still flirting with the fat army in Xincheng, woke up like a dream, knowing that they had missed the only way to contain them.  Fatty's army's precious fighters hurriedly prepared for the battle, while dispatching fast horses to call the police to Geng Jingzhong, asking for instructions on the next move.

    After receiving the battle report that the Fatty Army wiped out the remnants of the Qing army in lightning speed, our Lord Geng could hardly believe his eyes. After being stunned, he quickly cursed again, "Zeng Yangxing! Bai Xianzhong! You two trash! My lord!"  Let you closely monitor the battle between Lu Gou and Man Gou until Lu Gou wiped out Man Gou and returned to the division and crossed the Qiantang River before you can report! What are you doing for food?! Trash! Idiots!"

    "My lord, it's too late to say anything now." Ma Jiuyu was calmer, and quickly suggested: "My lord, please issue a decree immediately, so that the two generals Zeng Yang and Bai Xianzhong will make amends, and immediately send troops to take the initiative to fight.  The soldiers who returned from the Eastern Expedition were exhausted, and the expeditionary force had not yet had time to join forces, so we must first win a battle to stabilize the morale of the troops.¡±

    "My lord, absolutely not." Xu Wenyao jumped out to stop him, and said loudly: "My lord, Man Gou has been wiped out now, our army is fighting against Lu Gou's main force alone, and Zheng Jing's son is taking advantage of the fire to rob us at the rear. At this time, we can only attack Lu Gou  Sue for peace, never go to war! Once we start a war, even if we win a battle, we will not be able to hurt Lu Gou's muscles and bones, and we will not be able to get rid of the dilemma of Lu Gou and Zheng Jing'er. On the contrary, we will completely offend Lu Yifeng as a thief  All hope for reconciliation!"

    The sycophant Xu Wenyao finally hit the point. Even Ma Jiuyu, who proposed to send troops immediately, had to admit that even if he could defeat Li Tianzhi's army who had just withdrawn from the Shaoxing battlefield, he would definitely not be able to hurt the fat man's army if he sent troops to a decisive battle at this time.  On the contrary, it will completely irritate the Fatty Army and invite the Fatty Army's full retaliation, making the already passive situation of Geng Jingzhong's army even more passive.  Xu Wenyao then said: "Your Majesty, right now our army should send envoys to Hangzhou to meet Lu Yifeng, congratulate him on the pretext, and take the opportunity to propose an alliance. The two armies will stop all hostile actions and join hands to deal with Zheng Jingxiaoer."

    "Lu Yifeng's thief, can you agree?" Geng Jingzhong hesitated, and said worriedly: "What if he asks for the whole of Zhejiang again?"

    "My lord, I think it's worth a try." Military Counselor Jiang Yuanxun was also very calm, and analyzed for Geng Jingzhong: "The reason why Lu Yifeng's dog thief sent troops to the south is to relieve the crisis on the southern front and free up his hands for the northern expedition against Mangou and Hebei.  Lu Yifeng doesn't really care about whether Guo Zhuangtu can annihilate our army in the westward expedition. At the same time, Lu Yifeng doesn't want to see our army fall and let Zheng Jing's thieves sit on the throne. Therefore, the humble official believes that our army seeks peace  It is in the interest of Lu Yifeng's dog thief to return the main force to Fujian to fight Zheng Jing's son, as long as he pays some price, there is a good chance of success in the peace."

    "These kings know, but what if Lu Yifeng's dog thief insists on asking for the whole of Zhejiang?" Geng Jingzhong said with a sad face: "The half of Zhejiang that this king has paid so much to get, is it necessary to give it to Lu Yifeng's dog thief for nothing?  No?"

    "Fight against him!" Jiang Yuanxun said loudly, "It took our army nearly three years, sacrificing hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and countless food, grass and supplies to take the land that Lu Yifeng's dog thief stretched out his hand to take away.  Such a cheap thing? I would like to go to the envoy, go to Hangzhou to argue with Lu Yifeng, persuade him to make concessions, and form an alliance with our army to fight against rebellion!"

    "Are you sure?" Geng Jingzhong asked happily.

    "Don't dare to say for sure, I will do my best." Jiang Yuanxun said helplessly: "Lu Yifeng's eloquence is very good. I may not be able to argue with him. I can only say that I did my best. Also, Lu Yifeng  The dog thief is extremely treacherous, and has already seen through the dilemma of our army being confronted by enemies on both sides and eager to seek peace, so you still have to pay the price of sacrifice, my lord."

    "The only thing left is to try." Geng Jingzhong was more helpless than Jiang Yuanxun, nodded and said: "Well, you can go to Hangzhou, as long as Lu Yifeng agrees to stop the war and form an alliance, half of Zhejiang will be one person, and he will conquer Guo Zhuang in the future  This king can also lend him the way when he is trying to steal a dog. Remember, half of the people in Zhejiang is the last limit of this king. If he is not greedy enough, this king would rather fight him to the death than give in!" (Unfinished  To be continued.

 Chapter 395

    ?

    In history, Jiang Yuanxun was not well-known on the San Francisco battlefield, but what many friends don¡¯t know is that when Geng Jingzhong was cornered by the Qing army and the Zheng army and had nowhere to go, most of the Geng army¡¯s civil and military officials suggested that Geng Jingzhong should surrender to the Qing army.  Only Jiang Yuanxun and an official named Liao Yanyun firmly opposed the surrender, thinking that even if the Qing army accepted Geng Jingzhong's surrender, it was only to reduce consumption and use Geng Jingzhong to deal with Zheng Jing-the fact also proved that Jiang Yuanxun's vision was the same.  It can be said that the anti-Qing attitude is quite firm, and he also has a big picture and long-term vision. It is a rare bright spot under the leadership of Geng Jingzhong, who is short of talents. Even Lu Fatty agrees with and secretly admires the words and opinions expressed.

    But it is a pity that even if Fatty Lu, who is ambitious in the world, agrees with these principles and views of Jiang Yuanxun, he cannot agree with Geng Jingzhong's conditions for dividing Zhejiang into two.

    After Feiqi rushed to Hangzhou City to see Fatty Lu, Jiang Yuanxun did argue with Fatty Lu, and presented to Fatty Lu the soldiers and money spent by Geng Jing¡¯s loyal army in the anti-Qing war over the past two years.  The list of money and food, using detailed data to prove the price and sacrifices Geng Jingzhong's army paid and made in the anti-Qing war, and then questioned Fatty Lu face to face.  With military pay and several million shi of military rations, it took three-quarters of Zhejiang Province with great difficulty, but Fatty Lu wanted to take it away as soon as he reached out. Is it a bit greedy?

    Before Fatty Lu answered, Jiang Yuanxun warned Fatty Lu again, that is, for the Great Zhou court and Fatty Lu, the Yanping Palace is actually far more dangerous than the Jingnan Palace, and it is also less trustworthy, because the Yanping Palace insists on anti-Qing  Fuming insists that because the former Ming army claimed that its goal was to counterattack the mainland and annex the world, even if it is temporarily allied with the Fatty Army, it is just to use the Fatty Army to annex Fujian and establish a firm foothold in the mainland!  If Zheng Jing's wolfish ambitions are allowed to succeed, then the day Jingnan Palace will perish will also be the day when the Fatty Army and Yanping Palace will start fighting!

    Then, Jiang Yuanxun said something astonishing again, pointing out that Geng Jingzhong's effect on the Great Zhou court and Fatty Lu was even far greater than that of Fatty Lu's brother-in-law, Shang Zhixin!  Because Geng Jingzhong was not only the first firm ally to form an alliance with the Great Zhou court, but also the first ally to raise troops to contain the Qing army. Shang Zhixin's brother-in-law named Fatty Lu was not only the last to raise troops from the Great Zhou court, but he was also desperate  The so-called allies who just started fighting!  Moreover, after the army was raised, apart from using the Great Zhou court, Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing to protect his territory and take the opportunity to strengthen his strength, Shang Zhixin did not launch an attack on the Qing army, nor did he add a brick to the anti-Qing cause.  It's just desperately preserving its strength, what is its ambition, can't the Great Zhouyue Palace really see it?

    In addition, Jiang Yuanxun, who also found Fatty Lu's ambition, also implicitly hinted that if Fatty Lu is inconvenient to eradicate and weaken a big Zhou cancer like Shang Zhixin who has a heavy army, then Geng Jingzhong is definitely the most ideal fat man  The spokesperson of the army can stand up for the fat army, weaken Shang Zhixin's strength, or completely eradicate Shang Zhixin!  ¡ª¡ªThis point really moved Fatty Lu a little bit.

    Observing his words, he found that Fatty Lu was beginning to waver. Jiang Yuanxun took the opportunity to propose a plan to divide Zhejiang into two parts. Geng Jun gave up Quzhou and Yanzhou to the Fatty Army.  Let Geng Jingzhong's army clean up Zheng Jing and guard against Shang Zhixin¡ªalso clean up Zheng Jing and guard against Shang Zhixin for the Fatty Army.  I also implore Fatty Lu to think twice carefully, and never make the choice of hurting loved ones and quickening enemies.

    Jiang Yuanxun said that Fatty Lu understood all these reasons, and secretly agreed, but it was a pity that Fatty Lu could not agree.  Because Fatty Lu understands very well that Monk Zheng Jing's letter is indeed a stumbling block to his ambition to dominate, so why is Zheng Jing not a stumbling block to himself?  Let Zheng Jing and monk Zhixin be in great danger, and let Geng Jingzhong be in great danger, wouldn't it be dangerous?  Moreover, Geng Jingzhong has grown his army during the anti-Qing war for more than two years, and he has also formed a lot of elite troops. His strength has surpassed that of Zheng Jing and Monk Zhixin.  A good economy solves the problem of money and food, isn't it a legacy of raising tigers and causing trouble for one's own future?

    What's more, what Fatty Lu is more worried about now is that he and Guo Zhuangtu have torn up their faces and publicly confronted him. In order to use Geng Jingzhong to contain him, it is difficult to guarantee that Guo Zhuangtu will not disclose the production process of the new firearm to Geng Jingzhong.  Zhejiang Qianliang, Fujian Army, and Yunnan-Guizhou's new firearms gave Geng Jingzhong time to integrate these, and it would be even more difficult for him to eradicate Geng Jingzhong.

    So there is no way, in order to nip these dangers in the bud, Fatty Lu has only one choice, and that is to weaken Geng Jingzhong, and drive Geng Jingzhong back to Fujian, which has a weak economy and insufficient potential in this era, so that Geng Jingzhong, Zheng Jing and Monk Zhixin will be in the future.  Fujian and Guangdong are killing each other and weakening each other in this narrow area. They can't find a little opportunity and time to grow and develop. Only in this way can the key interests of the fat army be ensured.

    &??I'll continue to consume, if you don't have the guts, get out overnight.  "

    "Will the child who once raised sex be withdrawn from the new city tonight?" Lu Zhangtai's eyes lit up.

    "Of course, he can't afford it." Li Tianzhi smiled confidently, then turned to Zhu Sanshui next to him and said, "General Sanshui, I'll see you tomorrow night. Tonight your four thousand cavalry rest earlier.  Send out more troops, bring more dry food, and be prepared for a long-term pursuit. If you find Zeng Yangxing retreating, immediately bite his tail and hold on. I will arrange for General Hutu to lead the cavalry to meet you. The two of you take turns to attack.  Let¡¯s try to weaken Zeng Yang¡¯s children.¡± Zhu Sanshui agreed, and after the Fat Man¡¯s Army returned to the camp, Zhu Sanshui took the cavalry back to the camp to rest, and Li Tianzhi rewarded the brave Qing army who surrendered today without mentioning it.

    Sure enough, as Li Tianzhi expected, that night, Zeng Yangxing, who really couldn't use up the fat army's sloppy tactics, gave up the small county in Xincheng, withdrew from the southern branch of Songxi, and fled all the way to Yanzhou.  The cavalry of the Fat Man Army who had been standing still in the army finally had a place to use. They were divided into two teams and took turns chasing the retreating Zeng Yangxing team. Li Tianzhi personally led the main force to pursue them all the way, and went south to Yanzhou to fight Geng's army.

    The news of the Battle of Xincheng spread back to Hangzhou. Fatty Lu, who was in Hangzhou, was very satisfied. He immediately named Li Zhifang, who had surrendered to the Fatty Army, as the official of Yue Wangfu, Cao Yuanwai, and the head of the army. He ordered Li Zhifang to catch up with Li Tianzhi's army and surrender all the way.  Prefectures and counties, the formation of local government.  He also appointed Tian Fengji, who was in Ningbo, as the chief envoy of Zhejiang Province, and accompanied Yang Yingyuan and Li Guodong to send troops to the south to attack the Geng army in Taizhou, and set up a local government in eastern Zhejiang for the fat army.  He also ordered Guo Yingfu to send troops to attack Jinhua, and ordered Wu Qi, the governor of Zhejiang, and Huang Ming, the commander-in-chief of Hangzhou, to sit in Hangzhou to transport food, grass, and military salaries for the two armies, train recruits to act as backup, and set up a West Lake firearms battalion to prepare for the production of firearms for the southern battlefield.

    After issuing the official seal to Li Zhifang who had lived idle for a year, Fatty Lu confessed to Li Zhifang: "After seeing Li Tianzhi, tell him that I will hand over all the southern lines to him. Yang Yingyuan, Li Guodong and Guo Yingfu all follow his command.  Three ways to win Zhejiang. If Geng Jingzhong seeks peace, he can agree, but the premise is that the whole territory of Zhejiang, plus Geng Jingzhong, will surrender to the Great Zhou court!"

    "My lord, what about you?" Li Zhifang asked curiously, "Your lord, don't you care about the war on the southern front?"

    "It doesn't matter, Li Tianzhi is enough in Zhejiang. His character and combat style happen to be the nemesis of Zheng Jing, Geng Jingzhong and my unlucky brother-in-law. I will return to Nanjing tomorrow." Fatty Lu waved his hand proudly, "I also  It's time to be a hands-off shopkeeper and prepare for the Northern Expedition and Western Expedition."

    Li Zhifang agreed, and Yao Qisheng next to him said: "Master Li, it is a long distance from the southern line of Zhejiang to Nanjing. Asking for instructions on everything may not delay the battle. You can discuss some things with General Li Tianzhi. Remember, we don't care whether it is  Exterminating Geng Jingzhong, Zheng Jing and Monk Zhixin will do more harm than good to our army, and it will be most beneficial to our army only if the three of them are confined to the small areas of Fujian and Guangdong. I believe  , with Master Li's intelligence and wisdom, there must be a way to turn the three of them upside down and lose all three."

    "I will do my best." Li Zhifang respectfully agreed, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, these three families are ambitious masters, they all want to eat each other, so it's not difficult to instigate them to fight to the death."

 Chapter 396 Sowing Discord

    ?

    When Fatty Lu was working as a hands-off shopkeeper in Hangzhou to see if he could hand over the southern front battlefield to the old running dog Li Tianzhi alone, the opponents of the Fatty Army, the Honghua and Qing courts, were not idle either, and one after another happened inside the control area.  This earth-shattering and far-reaching event has brought about earth-shaking changes-but unfortunately, everyone in the world knows about fat, and these things are basically beneficial to Fatty Lu and Fatty Army.

    First of all, let¡¯s look at the Qing court. Although relying on the arrival of the autumn harvest and the gradual large-scale planting of potatoes and sweet potatoes in the north, some of the food shortage crisis in the Shandong area of ??Zhili has been alleviated, but after September, the situation in the north began to get out of control again.  It's time - because it's time to return the military coins issued by Kang Mazi.  The huge debt of 23.4 million taels of silver with interest is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for the Qing court, which cannot even afford military salaries, official salaries, and mite grains, and it is also a huge debt that does not take back Jiangnan.  A hurdle that can never be overcome.

    In desperation, the old hag of Xiaozhuang had no choice but to bite the bullet and promulgate a decree to the people in Zhili and Shandong, deciding to extend the period for the return of the general's coins for one year, and return the principal with interest in the second year.  Naturally, as soon as this decree was promulgated, Zhili Shandong immediately exploded. The Han people who were overwhelmed by exorbitant taxes and famine rioted one after another. In less than a month, more than 20 people were killed.  The head of a local official was cleared, and the official warehouses of two prefectural cities and six county towns were robbed.  , Barely maintaining the order in the capital area, they are helpless against these Han mobs who don't know the truth.

    The house leak coincided with continuous night rain. At this extremely critical moment, there was another big problem inside Miqing¡¯s northern green battalion. Cai Lu, the Hebei military officer stationed in Huaiqing, Henan, took advantage of the opportunity when Henan governor Lang Tingxiang ordered him to send troops to suppress the rebellion.  Suddenly launched a mutiny to control Huaiqing City, killed all the civil and military officials and their families in the city who refused to surrender, and led the people in the city to cut their braids and hair, and swear allegiance to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

    Similar rebellions of general soldiers were common in the San Francisco Rebellion, but after the news of Huaiqing's rebellion spread back to Beijing, the old hag of Xiaozhuang couldn't help but cry, because Huaiqing's location is close to Taihang in the north and the Yellow River in the south.  It just happened to cut off the connection between the Qing court and the Tongguan Qing army. Kang Mazi dug up the south bank of the Yellow River before, and blocked Tongguan's detour from the hinterland of Henan to return to Beijing and rescue Shandong and Zhili.  Even if the old witch of Xiaozhuang wanted to mobilize the last elite soldiers of the Qing court to return to Shandong and Zhili, she would have to detour through Niangziguan in the middle of the Taihang Mountains.

    As a last resort, in order to take precautions, the old hag of Xiaozhuang had to make a major military adjustment, that is, order Tong Guoyao, the admiral of Huguang who was stationed in Xunyang, to go north to take over the important area of ??Tongguan, and replace the Baoyi army led by Tong Guogang to return to Huaiqing.  , to pull out the nail of Huaiqing, and open the way to return to Zhili and Shandong.  As for the Xunyang and Xiangyang areas that Tong Guoyao originally guarded, they can only resign themselves to fate.  Abandoning the retreat west of Taihang Mountain, or even abandoning the entire south of Shanhaiguan, has also appeared in the consideration of Xiaozhuang old hag.

    Of course, abandoning the west of Taihang Mountain and the entire south of Shanhaiguan can only be the last choice of last resort. The old hag of Xiaozhuang will never give up easily until the last moment. Besides, the old hag of Xiaozhuang still has a little hope and fantasy.  That is, the conflict between the Fat Army and the Honghua court has become public, and the contradictions within the Wu Army have also become public.  Especially after receiving the news that Wu Guogui led the Wu clan to attack Guo Zhuangtu, the old witch of Xiaozhuang seemed to see a glimmer of light, and immediately sent envoys to Yunnan to contact Guo Zhuangtu, expressing her willingness to send Honghua  The imperial court paid tribute to the court, drew the Yellow River as the boundary with the Honghua court, and provided help for the Honghua court to put down Wu Guogui's rebellion.

    Confessing vassals to Wu Shifan and Guo Zhuangtu is not enough. After careful consideration, the treacherous old witch of Xiaozhuang sent a secret envoy to infiltrate the southwest to contact Wu Guogui, expressing her willingness to provide assistance for the Wu clan to crusade against Honghua power traitor Guo Zhuangtu  , but the prerequisite is that after the Wu clan successfully pacified Guo Zhuangtu, they must agree to a truce with the Qing court and draw the Yellow River as the boundary.

    As for the most dangerous Fatty Lu, the old witch of Xiaozhuang dared not provoke this little fatty who had a deep hatred for the Qing court. The only thing she could do was to hope that Geng Jingzhong, who was in the south of Fatty's army, could restrain Lu more.  For a period of time, Fatty also prayed to the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, begging them to bless Fatty Lu to fight the civil war first, and then consider the Northern Expedition, so as to give the Qing court a little more breathing time.

    The internal chaos of the Wu Army was actually not much better than that of the Qing court. After receiving the news that Wang Shirong and the old traitor Wu ordered Fatty Lu to raise troops to conquer him, Guo Zhuangtu, the first official of the Honghua court, was of course furious and almost wanted to kill Lu.  Fatty's eldest son, Lu Bangjing, chops it into dumpling stuffing and feeds it to the dogs!  But after thinking about it again, Guo, who is good at playing tricks,Guigui entered Yunnan.  Tell me, does Guo Zhuangtu dare to turn a deaf ear to what Hu Guozhu said?  "

    Fatty Lu and his confidant lackeys were silent together. After a long while, Wang Shaobo took the lead in applauding, flattering him and said, "It's still the prince who can see people's hearts and analyze them very well. Yes, if Hu Guozhu threatens Guo Zhuangtu, saying that if Guo Zhuangtu doesn't agree  Wu Clan's conditions, then he will stand by and ignore Guo Zhuangtu's life and death, and Guo Zhuangtu must consider submitting."

    "No wonder Hu Guozhu dared to go back to Yunnan to negotiate with Guo Zhuangtu." Yao Qisheng also came to his senses, "Hu Guozhu must have seen through Guo Zhuangtu and dared not touch him, so he went back to persuade Guo Zhuangtu to surrender to the Wu clan without  I am worried that Guo Zhuangtu will kill him or detain him."

    "We can't let them reconcile." Zhu Fangdan yelled, "Pingxi Palace, which is more chaotic inside, is the best Pingxi Palace for us."

    Several of Fatty Lu's confidantes nodded together, thinking that what Zhu Fangdan said was absolutely right, and only if Wu Jun continued to fight among himself would it be in the fundamental interests of Fatty's army.  Although Fatty Lu himself does not speak or express his opinion, his small eyes are rolling wildly, but he has already begun to plan how to smash Hu Guozhu's dream of yellow beams, how to cheer Guo Zhuangtu, and fight Wu's clan to the death, both sides will suffer, including using the lurking  Despicable thoughts such as the secret assassination of Hu Guozhu by the Fatty Army from Yunnan and Guizhou kept coming to Fatty Lu's mind one after another.

    Despicable villains are usually easy to think of together, after a long time of thinking, Fatty Lu opened his mouth and ordered: "Uncle Shao, draw up an order for this king, and this king will issue a grand decree."

    "Understood." Wang Shaobo quickly walked to the desk next to the Yinluan Hall and sat down, stretched out a paper and picked up a pen, and asked, "My lord, who is the order for?"

    "Issuing an edict to Prime Minister Xia." Fatty Lu replied with a name that was unexpected to all the lackeys. Fatty Lu ordered: "You look at the edict, and the writing should be as arrogant and rude as possible. There are three main contents. One, ask him why  Detain the edict issued by the former emperor to this king and ask him to explain. Second, ask him why he did not send troops to help my father-in-law Wu Guogui suppress the rebellion, and ask him whether he is in collusion with Guo Zhuangtu's rebels. Third, order him to surrender his military power and send  Hand over the army to my father-in-law Wu Guogui, no, hand it over to General Ma Bao, let General Ma Bao lead the army to help my father-in-law Wu Guogui put down Guo Zhuangtu's rebellion!"

    "My lord is so ruthless! I was afraid that Guo Zhuangtu would not be able to defeat the Wu clan, so I simply pushed Xia Guoxiang to Guo Zhuangtu to give Guo Zhuangtu courage and strength!" Several of Fatty Lu's henchmen gasped.  Whisper together in my heart.  Then Wang Shaobo tentatively asked again: "My lord, wouldn't it be more effective if Xia Guoxiang handed over the military power to General Wu Guogui?"

    "No way." Fatty Lu sighed, and said with compassion: "My father-in-law, General Wu Guogui, has openly rebelled against Guo. If General Xia Guoxiang handed over the military power to him, it will inevitably cause greater civil strife and bring disaster to the people. But Ma  General Bao is reasonable and has never stated who he is supporting. Only by letting General Xia Guoxiang hand over the military power to General Ma Bao can General Ma Bao control the situation and avoid harming the people."

    "Fuck! Be a bitch and set up a memorial arch! Are you trying to take the opportunity to drive a wedge between Xia Guoxiang, Guo Zhuangtu and Ma Bao? Don't say it so nicely!" Fatty Lu's lackeys cursed together in their hearts, and at the same time  Together they sympathized with Xia Guoxiang in their hearts, "Poor guy, if you don't listen to our prince, you are violating the will of Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty.  The way of clans and clans killing each other is gone."

    "By the way, by the way, I will also send a decree to General Ma Bao." Fatty Lu added, "Make him ready to take over Xia Guoxiang's army, and reward him with some gold, silver and jewels by the way, more rewards." (to be continued)  Continued.

 Chapter 397 Wu Army Civil War

    ?

    (ps: In view of the development of the plot, with the consent of the editorial department of the starting point, the completion time of this book will be extended and the number of words will be increased. Please rest assured that the scourge will not be unfinished. Friends, please continue to support the scourge and Fatty Lu  And pure unfinished wolves.)

    In fact, Xia Guoxiang really didn't want to be Fatty Lu's enemy, nor did he ever think about tearing his face with Fatty Lu. He wanted to see him, and there was no malice in detaining the imperial edict that the old traitor Wu gave to Fatty Lu. It was purely to vent to Fatty Lu.  Sitting and watching his dissatisfaction with Chizhou's disastrous defeat, and a little bit of jealousy - but this is also human nature. Among the heroes and veterans in the Pingxi Palace, there are really few who are not really jealous of Fatty Lu.

    Fatty Lu's deeds are indeed enviable and enviable. It's okay to gain the absolute trust of the old traitor Wu in just a few years after joining the Pingxi Palace.  Even the abundance of money and food in the separatist regime in the south of the Yangtze River can be ignored, but the old traitor Wu skipped over a thousand sons-in-law, nieces, sons-in-law and veteran generals to give Fatty Lu the title of King of Yue.  How could Xia Guoxiang, who had been next to old traitor Wu from birth and was bullied by Fatty Lu just now, swallow this bad breath?  Withholding the imperial edict and disgusting Fatty Lu, it was a matter of course.

    Withholding the edict will only disgust Fatty Lu, and it will only prevent Fatty Lu from becoming king quickly, and will not cause any substantial harm to Fatty Lu.  The second is that his own internal conflicts benefit others, and the third is that Xia Guoxiang is quite self-aware, knowing that Fatty Lu has grown into a perverted monster that can compete with the main force of Wu Jun after more than a year of development and crazy consumption of Jiangnan people's fat and people's ointment.  With the strength in his hands, it is impossible to be Fatty Lu's opponent. Naturally, Xia Guoxiang will not go to make fun of himself and make himself unhappy.

    Regarding the battle between Guo Zhuangtu and the Wu clan, Xia Guoxiang actually has no bad intentions. His attitude is ambiguous and he refuses to express his opinion. It is also because he does not want to get involved in these bad things, because as long as Xia Guoxiang does not speak or express his opinion, with his status in the Pingxi Palace  With the power and strength in hand, no matter who is the winner in the future, he will inevitably share a piece of his flesh, so why bother to join in and stand in line, and bear the infamy of provoking internal strife before the old man's bones are cold?  Anyway, Hu Guozhu has to do the hard work of reconciling the conflicts between the two sides. As long as Xia Guoxiang hides aside and pretends to be deaf and dumb, he will definitely be the winner in the future.

    With such a mentality, Xia Guoxiang sneered even when he received the edict from the Honghua court to canonize him as the king of Chu, and Guo Zhuangtu's handwritten letter, which was obviously trying to sow discord, and secretly sneered, "I think  Pulling Lao Tzu into the water? Thinking Lao Tzu is a fool? Even if the Wu clan can't tolerate our relatives, Lu Yifeng is the first one they can't tolerate! If Lu Yifeng isn't dealt with, the Wu clan will only attack Lao Tzu if they are stupid, forcing the most dangerous  Lu Yifeng! Besides, Lao Tzu helped you clean up the Wu clan, how can your brother-in-law, Guo Zhuangtu, accommodate Lao Tzu?"

    Holding on to the mentality of not being guilty of neither helping each other, Xia Guoxiang's actions are already very low-key and conscientious, and he is worthy of his father-in-law who just died of illness, but what Xia Guoxiang never dreamed of is that he almost completely hid  At the corner of the wall, Fatty Lu even took the initiative to come to the door, and slapped him on the face¡ªusing the reputation of the Prince Regent of Dazhou to issue an order to him, and asked him arrogantly why he did not send troops to help the Wu clan put down the rebellion, and called his name  Turn over the old account of Xia Guoxiang's private withholding of the imperial edict, and force Xia Guoxiang to hand over the army and release the military power!

    After reading Fatty Lu's regent's edict, Xia Guoxiang couldn't bear it anymore. He yelled and tore up Fatty Lu's edict to pieces, and the envoys beat out Yuezhou City with sticks.  Everyone was furious, and they cursed Fatty Lu's ancestors for eighteen generations by mentioning Fatty Lu's name.  Among them, Guo Zhuangmou, the military counselor of Xia Guoxiang, who reacted the most violently¡ªyou can see his relationship with Guo Zhuangtu from his name, he beat his chest and yelled at Xia Guoxiang: "My lord, have you seen it? Have you seen it, Lu  What kind of person is Yifeng?!"

    "Bang!" Xia Guoxiang slammed his fist on the table in front of him so hard that it almost cracked the pear wood table, his face was blue and he was nervously calculating.  Xia Guoxiang of course understands Guo Zhuangmou's implication. It is nothing more than encouraging Xia Guoxiang to join forces with his brother Guo Zhuangtu. Before Xia Guoxiang had always pretended to be deaf and dumb and refused to fight, but now Xia Guoxiang had to choose.  The power of soldiers and horses was given to Fatty Lu, and the life and death of the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty was given to Fatty Lu. Fatty Lu blamed Xia Guoxiang and deprived Xia Guoxiang of his military power.  Old Man Wu's treacherous edict gave Fatty Lu all the more reason to behead Xia Guoxiang and ransack his home and eat him alive.

    That is to say, only Xia Guoxiang is left now.bsp; "Then you can try it." Hu Guozhu sneered again, full of confidence in the loyalty of his army.

    When Guo Zhuangtu's personal soldiers took Hu Guozhu away and walked to Guo Zhuangtu's study, Hu Guozhu suddenly stopped, looked at the southeast to the northeast, and sighed, "It's still my father-in-law who has the foresight. After he passed away,  Our internal affairs will indeed be chaotic. There is also a father-in-law who knows people. At this time, he is the only one who can set things right and revive the Great Zhou."

    "Heh." Hu Guozhu gave another wry smile, and murmured: "Although he is more dangerous than anyone else, no one can stop him from usurping the Great Zhou Dynasty except himself."

    On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month in the first year of Zhaowu, Guo Zhuangtu, a power minister of the Honghua court of the Great Zhou, detained Hu Guozhu, the honorary commander of the three armies of the Great Zhou army, in Kunming, which pushed the civil strife of the Great Zhou court to a climax and ignited the fuse of a larger-scale civil war in the Wu army.  Wu Sangui's army, which was in great prosperity for a while, gradually began to decline.  The fat army who hid behind Wu Jun and recharged his batteries also gradually revealed their snow-white fangs, which were enough to swallow the world's snow-white fangs.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 398 Expansion

    ?

    The Wu army's civil war became more and more fierce, and the civil unrest in the Qing Dynasty became more and more troublesome. The Fatty Army who ruled the south of the Yangtze River also ushered in a golden age of development and expansion. It didn't even need the Fatty Army. The Fatty Army's territory is close to the prefecture and county.  The Jiang Shu Jiang Biao had already flown to Nanjing like snow flakes, took the initiative to cut their braids and change their banners, and accepted the jurisdiction of the Fatty Army.  Refugees from the flooded areas of the Yellow River and hungry people from the north flooded into the south of the Yangtze River like a tidal wave, which brought sufficient soldiers and labor resources to the Fat Army, and accelerated the recovery of the war-torn land around the south of the Yangtze River.

    This is driven by the general trend and the will of the people. Among the territories of the major forces in the world, only the Fatty Army has the lowest taxes, the most abundant food, and the most stable public security and political situation. The common people hope to live and work in peace and contentment under the governance of the Fatty Army  At least they would not starve to death; officials, gentry, and landlords did not expect the Fat Army to give them their leftovers, but they longed for the legal protection of the Fat Army and the good security atmosphere created by the Fat Army.  Otherwise, the more money and food they have in their hands, the more dangerous they will be.

    In fact, there is nothing particularly brilliant about the administration of the Fat Army. It basically copied the civil administration model left over from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The so-called benevolent government praised by the gentry and the common people has only three points. One is to improve the Baojia system and organize a large number of  Xiangyong maintains law and order, and focuses on cracking down on robbery and theft that disturb people's livelihood; second, vigorously protects the most important land ownership in this era, recognizes the land contract issued by the Qing government before, admits that the wasteland reclaimed by the people is owned by the people, and severely cracks down on illegal occupation  The third is to vigorously develop the industrial and commercial mining industry, abolish the mining ban imposed by the Qing court, and allow the landowners and gentry in the controlled areas to hire northern refugees to open mines at a low price in exchange for money.  A mouthful of food will not lead to civil uprisings due to the lack of food for refugees.

    Of course, Fatty Army also has a few points in terms of governance that are quite criticized. For example, because the boss of the Fatty Army's genius doctor and criminal department has some special hobbies, the crime rate of sex crimes in the Fatty Army site is a bit high, and the crime of buying and selling women  Occasionally, he would turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye to let it go; there is also the boss of the fat army, who had suffered because of his appearance, which led to a certain degree of obvious decline in the average appearance of the newly elected officials of the fat army  .  But fortunately, these are trivial matters in times of war, and it doesn't matter-it doesn't matter if an official is ugly, as long as he can serve the people, he is a good official, for example, a certain gangster; occasionally buying and selling women is always more direct than other warlords.  Robbing women is good.

    This is a worse world, and even a not-so-perfect governance is a hundred times better than no governance. Compared with the tax of six dollars per mu on the land of the Wu army, compared with the poverty of the people and the soaring food prices in the areas controlled by the Qing Dynasty.  Ten times, and compared to Geng Jun¡¯s control of land, one or two taels of silver per mu of land plus fodder money, salt tax of two cents per month, and more than twenty kinds of exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes, the lowest tax and the best public security  The place controlled by the Fat Man Army is undoubtedly the paradise in troubled times.  In addition, there are quite a few good politicians in the area controlled by the Fatty Army, such as Mu Tianyan, Wu Xingzuo, Xie Dong, Li Zhifang, and Huang Ji are actually quite good at governing the people, so the Fatty Army really can't think of it.  It is also difficult to get the support and aspirations of the people.

    ?Thanks to the so-called benevolent government and the good situation, Fatty Lu's prestige and reputation also rose. In the area controlled by the Fatty Army, the gentry and common people only knew that there was a thousand years old king of Yue, but not a long live emperor Zhou.  In the fat army that has expanded to more than 250,000 people, although the main backbone is still the old Wu Jun, the new soldiers and generals only know to follow the King of Yue, and most of the old Wu Jun who has been severely diluted have forgotten to follow.  The old traitor Wu endured hardships and suffers, but he only remembers eating and drinking hot and sleeping beauties with Fatty Lu.  As for Fatty Lu's direct line team and the nearby Guangxi team, there have been calls for Fatty Lu to be called emperor.

    In view of the favorable situation and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for expansion, even though the Li Tianzhi Army of the Fat Army is still fighting Geng Jingzhong's army in Zhejiang, there are still strong voices within the Fat Army to open up the second and third battlefields.  Gao Dejie on the northern line unanimously asked for permission from Fatty Lu, returned to Nanjing on the same day, and made a request to Fatty Lu face-to-face, requesting to send troops to attack Qingzhou Prefecture, which is empty in the surrounding defenders and refuses to surrender voluntarily.  Further expand the territory and strengthen the strength.

    Gao Dejie, who is good at cavalry combat, simply proposed to launch the Northern Expedition immediately, taking advantage of the Qing court's breathlessness to take down Shandong and Zhili, open trade channels with Mongolian tribes, and obtain war horses through trade or war.  Form more fat army cavalry to lay a strong cavalry foundation for the next national battle of the fat army.

    Fatty Lu certainly didn't want to give the Qing court a chance to breathe, and more than Gao Dejie wanted to launch the Northern Expedition immediately, taking advantage of the Qing court's chance to win in one fell swoop.No.  "

    "General Li, it is impossible for our lord to agree to such a condition." Geng Jun's envoy said with a mournful face, "Little emissary has the courage to warn General Li in his personal capacity. Your army has been chasing and killing our army all the way. The soldiers and horses are very tired.  It is becoming more and more difficult to transport food and grass, and if the fight continues, it will be bad for our army, and it will also be bad for you, General Li, and it will ruin your invincible reputation as a general."

    "Thank you for your kind reminder, you are telling the truth." Li Tianzhi said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, I never care about the reputation of being invincible, and it doesn't matter if I suffer a few defeats. Also, as for the fatigue of our soldiers, it doesn't matter  If you stop, we will stop. My brothers have plenty of time to rest. If you run slowly, we will chase slowly. If you run fast, we will chase fast. Anyway, we will have time to rest, but what about your army, wait  Back in Fujian, will you have time to rest?"

    Li Tianzhi's rogue has reached this point, the envoy of Geng Jun couldn't cry anymore, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "General, what about the food and grass? The envoy reminds the general again that as long as Jinhua is passed, the water volume of Yongkang River will be reduced."  But there is no way to support your army to transport food by water. Does your army really want to fight with our army and let Zheng Jing choose the cheap one for nothing?"

    "There is no waterway, we can go by land. Anyway, Zhejiang has been ravaged by you, and the homeless people have gone to sea. As long as you can afford to pay for food, are you afraid that you won't be able to hire people to transport food?" Li Tianzhi said with a smile: "Indeed  Your army, if the Prince of Yanping takes down Yanping Mansion, which is under attack from both sides, and takes away your largest grain production area, your army will still have to buy the rations needed for Fujian, right?"

    Envoy Geng Jun was completely speechless, and tears really leaked from the corners of his eyes. Seeing his pity, Li Tianzhi put away his hippie smile and said with a smile: "Your envoy, don't worry. For the sake of your sincerity, I will give  You have a way to make a difference."

    As he said that, Li Tianzhi picked up two letters from the table and said: "These two letters are from Guangdong Shang Zhixin, Lord Shang, one is for me, the other is for our Lord Lu, and the other is for Lord Lu."  I dare not open my letter without permission, but Lord Shang has passed me a letter, and your envoy can copy a copy and bring it back to Lord Geng, so Lord Geng will naturally not blame you for being an envoy to our army in vain."

    "What did Prince Shang say to the general in the letter?" Geng Jun's envoy tremblingly asked.

    "What do you think?" Li Tianzhi asked with a smile: "Gaozhou, Lianzhou, Leizhou, Luoding and Zhaoqing of Lord Shang are in the hands of our Great Zhou army, while Chaozhou, Jiayingzhou and more than half of Huizhou were robbed by Zheng Jing.  In fact, only Guangzhou, Shaozhou, Nanxiong and a small part of Huizhou are controlled. How could Prince Shang be satisfied with such a small piece of land?  With the news of Nanzheng's war against your army, don't you want his relatives to help him find some money from other places to make up for the loss?"

    "boom."

    Envoy Geng Jun sat down on the ground, his face was as pale as a dead man, and his teeth could not help but fight.  Li Tianzhi looked at him sympathetically, and said: "Your envoy, don't worry, Lord Shang didn't say that you must cut meat from your body. As long as Lord Geng agrees to our conditions, Lord Shang will not only not attack your army, but will definitely do it."  Send troops to help your army, attack the prince of Yanping from north to south, and recover his lost land in Guangdong by the way." (To be continued.

 Chapter 399 The Importance of the Real Name System for Kitchen Knives

    ?

    The Northern Expedition of the Fatty Army really doesn¡¯t have much to introduce. The main opponent of the Fatty Army¡¯s north line is Gao Dejie. There is only a regular Qing army stationed in Suqian with a number of about 3,000 people.  Composed of defeated troops, with low morale and lack of food and pay, stationed in Suqian is not so much to prevent the fat army from going north, but rather to monitor the movement of the fat army's northern line from a distance, so that the news can be sent to Beijing as soon as possible when the fat army launches the northern expedition.  The fat army led by Gao Dejie had just crossed the Yellow River, and this Qing army had already abandoned the city and fled under the leadership of Nomqi, the capital of the Qing army, and ran to Xuzhou City in one breath, guarding behind closed doors, and was still in Suqian before leaving  There was a big grab in town.

    Gao Dejie's other opponents were even worse. The prefectures and counties were basically defended by Xiangyong and a small number of green battalions.  Usually there are only two choices to be made, one is to open the city and surrender, and the other is to abandon the city and flee. There is no one city or one place that slightly hinders the Fatty Army from going north.  Too many people blocked the road and slowed down the progress of the fat army.

    Less than ten days after crossing the Yellow River, the nine prefectures of Xuzhou and Haizhou were all included in the territory of the Fatty Army. The only battle took place under the city of Xuzhou.  Mu Qi's deputy, Lin Ke, had already beheaded Wang Mingde, a hard-core traitor from the prefect of Xuzhou who refused to surrender, opened the city gate of Xuzhou, and led the officials and soldiers in the city to surrender to the fat man's army.  As for the coach of the Qing army Nuomuqi, because he accidentally took the surname of Niu Colu, who was sure to kill the fat army, he fled back to Shandong from the canal with gold and silver.

    Immediately afterwards, Fatty's army divided into two groups. Gao Qi led a partial division from Shuyang to Yizhou in the north, and Gao Dejie personally led the main force to go north to Yanzhou, attacking the two important towns of Yanzhou and Jining, and the soldiers entered Shandong for the first time.  The situation of the Qing army in Shandong is even more miserable. The main force has been completely exhausted in the previous battles. The regular army of the Qing army in Shandong is less than 10,000. The situation of lack of pay and food is even worse than that of the Qing army in Xuzhou.  Seriously, the morale is even lower. It is already extremely difficult to deal with the successive civil uprisings and the plethora of bandits, let alone stop the fat man's army from going north. Duan Yingju, the admiral of Shandong, is hiding in Jinan City and refuses to come out.  The three prefectures of Yizhou, Yanzhou and Jining who were guarding all surrendered. The only trouble for the Fatty Army was that there were too many surrendered troops, and they almost ate up the rations carried by the forward troops of the Fatty Army.

    It was also at this time that Gao Dejie finally understood why Fatty Lu predicted that going north too soon would drag down the logistics of the Fatty Army. In the two prefectural cities of Yizhou and Yanzhou that voluntarily surrendered, the food in the treasury combined was less than  Five thousand shi, and the local officials have not received a penny of salary or a meter of Lumi for more than two years and almost three years. They live entirely on the fire consumption levied during taxation, begging around the fat army camp every day  There are tens of thousands of hungry refugees. I originally wanted to recruit 2,000 civilians to dredge the canal, but I only gave them two meals a day and an ultra-low wage of ten copper coins. As a result, 30,000 to 40,000 people came all at once, and many of them were  They ran from the area controlled by Mite Qing, and almost robbed the granary on the construction site.  Gao Dejie couldn't laugh or cry, so he had no choice but to expand the number of recruits. He also listened to the suggestion of Zhang Bingzhi, the civilian deputy, and borrowed food from the local gentry with the guarantee of military pay.

    Another Northern Expeditionary Army of the Fatty Army, Han Daren's team, had a little easier logistics. Anhui is a grain-producing area, and the folks have a little grain storage, so Han Daren's army will not increase the burden on logistics in order to buy people's hearts.  The few remaining Qing troops in Anhui did not have the courage to fight to the death with the Fatty Army. Governor Jin Fu steadfastly guarded Anqing City, the largest granary in Anhui, and did not dare to stand out.  After being completely killed by the Fatty Army, the nearby Lu'an Prefecture took the initiative to send a surrender form to ask for surrender, but was unexpectedly rejected by Han Daren¡ª¡ªIf Lu'an is taken again, the Fatty Army will immediately border on the Wu Army  Well, the famously selfish Han Daren naturally wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

    Immediately afterwards, Han Daren's army continued to go northward to Fengyang Mansion, two hundred miles away from Fengyang Mansion City, Fengyang Prefect Zhang Qinwen had already voluntarily surrendered, and also withheld a batch of autumn grain that should have been taken to the capital for Fatty  The army, in exchange for Han Daren Huyan Dayue, immediately expressed that he would ask Fatty Lu for Zhang Qinwen's reward, and then the surrounding Sizhou and Yingzhou also took the initiative to surrender, even Lin Sui, the prefect of Xiayi County, Guide Prefecture, which belonged to Henan, just now  Hearing that the Fatty Army was dispatching troops to the northwest, he also sent his son hurriedly from hundreds of miles away to join the Fatty Army's ranks to surrender, and offered his household registration register to accept the jurisdiction of the Fatty Army. The Fatty Army's claws finally reached into Henan.

    Basically, it can be said that the two Northern Expeditions of the Fatty Army are not so much the Northern Expedition, but rather the Northern Expansion. The battles were basically not fought, and the time was completely wasted on marching and taking over the surrendered prefectures and counties.  But in the first year of Honghua in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the first year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty.Ren also personally led his own soldiers to kill him, but the soldiers of Eliju and Elisan's Packed Army didn't dare to resist at all, leaving Fei Yanggu behind and scattered for their lives. Soon there were only ten soldiers left beside Fei Yanggu.  Several personal soldiers were quickly overwhelmed by dozens of times the fat cavalry, and there was no chance to escape from the siege.

    Fei Yanggu was actually very lucky. The most unlucky one was Tong Guogang, the coach of the Baoyi Army. The ancestor of the founder who erected the stele just arrived in Guide yesterday.  Countless Guide people kept in mind that this would lead to the collapse of the Packed Army. The Guide people's rebel army beat the dogs in the water. Tong Guogang, who was riding on a horse with a handsome flag beside him, naturally became the target of the angry Guide people.  The soldiers were heavily surrounded by tens of thousands of Guide civilians, with no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.

    In order to survive, Tong Guogang broke through in the direction of the Fatty Army several times, intending to rush in front of the Fatty Army and surrender to save his life, but every time he was blocked by the people of Guide, and the soldiers around him were pulled off their horses one by one and torn to pieces.  In the end, Gao Dejie's general Hu Guoliang took the initiative to charge forward with a team of cavalry, and the people of Guide gave way, so Tong Guogang was able to rush to the fat army and kneel down to surrender¡ªhe was surrounded by tens of thousands of people with red eyes and rage.  In desperation, Tong Guogang also completely forgot the four-kill order of the Fatty Army.

    Tong Guogang was not lucky enough to die under the sword of Fatty Army. As soon as he was captured by Fatty Army, countless people rushed to Fatty Army, crying and complaining about Tong Guogang and Bao Yijun's numerous crimes in Guide City, and begging Hu Guoliang to hand over Tong Guogang to them  Disposal, Hu Guoliang, who was furious because his cousin Hu Guozhu was detained by Guo Zhuangtu, did not disappoint the expectations of the people. He first asked the soldiers of the fat army to break Tong Guogang's hands and feet, and then threw them to the people. The result was natural, countless  After the torture, Tong Guogang couldn't even find any bones.

    Of course, because of this decision, after the war, Hu Guoliang was also scolded bloody by Gao Dejie and Han Daren, "Idiot! Why don't you leave Tong Guogang's dog bones and burn them into ashes, and then burn them into toilets to make money  ?Do you know how many Han people and Mongolian tribes have been harmed by this Mangou over the past few years? Do you know that the ashes of Emperor Mangou's ashes have been burned into a toilet, and now someone has paid 10,000 taels of silver for one! Idiot!  spendthrift!"

    "Kill the beast!" The hunting battle is still going on, not only the people in Guide City, but also the people outside Guide City have joined the team chasing and killing the Packed Army, holding various weapons, roaring and rushing towards the army.  Every single Packed Army soldier, every single Packed Army soldier who was caught, was beaten to death, buried alive in Ling Chi, and chopped into meat sauce with a kitchen knife!

    Therefore, it is indeed necessary to implement a real-name system for kitchen knives.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 400 Prepare to Run

    ?

    (ps: Dragon Boat Festival, I wish my friends a happy Dragon Boat Festival, go home for the festival, please forgive the small number of words.)

    The spring is cold, and the falling snow dyes the magnificent Forbidden City into a silvery white. The eaves are covered with icicles, each of which is as sharp as a sword. The sky is gray and gloomy, just like Suo Etu's mood at the moment.

    Soetu, who has just turned 40, has more than half of his braids gray under his zombie hat, and he walks on the snow-covered road in the palace with a thick official document in his hands.  , the expression on his face was colder than the piercing north wind, and his already cloudy eyes were full of bewilderment, as bewildered as a dying patient, like a walking corpse.

    After entering the Cining Gate and coming to the Cining Palace, Suo Etu saw a snowman piled up under the steps in a daze, and when he looked closely, he found that there was no snowman under the steps of the Cining Palace, but a real person, but this  I don't know how long I knelt in the snowstorm, my whole body was covered with snowflakes and I still didn't move at all, that's why Suo'etu had the illusion.  When he got closer and took a closer look at the man's appearance, Suo'etu couldn't help being surprised again, and exclaimed: "Master Yu Chenglong, when did you enter Beijing?"

    Kneeling outside the Palace of Compassion and Ning is Yu Jackie Chan, but not the one who was younger than Jackie Chan when he went south to Yunnan to assist Wang Xu in dealing with the dispute between Lu and Li, but the one who was blown up into the sky by the mites and was bigger than Jackie Chan.  The Wu army in Wuchang broke through the defense line of the Qing Dynasty along the Yangtze River and marched into Huangzhou Mansion. Yu Chenglong, who assisted Cai Yurong in guarding the defense line of the Yangtze River, planned to hang himself to die for his country, but was rescued by his followers in time.  Put on the prison clothes, put them into a prison car, and take them to Beijing to plead guilty.  However, Kang Mazi naturally refused to kill Yu Chenglong, who was the flagpole of the Han official of the Qing Dynasty. He was fined for one year's salary and granted the post of Shandong envoy to Shandong.  Governor of Zhili, Yu Chenglong has also stayed in the post of governor of Zhili until now.

    Hearing Suo'etu's inquiry, Yu Chenglong, who was almost frozen all over, finally moved, and after a while he replied in a hoarse voice: "Go back to Suo Zhongtang, the next official came back to Beijing from Baoding last night, under the orders of the Empress Dowager,  See you in the palace."

    "Then why don't you enter the Compassionate Ning Palace? Still kneeling here?" Seeing that Yu Chenglong, who was over 60 years old, was covered with ice chips on his beard and eyebrows, Suo'etu couldn't help being furious, and turned to the palace gate  The eunuch shouted angrily: "What are you dog slaves doing? Do you know who this Lord Yu is? How dare you let him kneel here for so long? Is it because Lord Yu didn't give you a saimen respect? You didn't give it on purpose.  Did he report it?"

    Several young eunuchs quickly knelt down, and Yu Chenglong took the initiative to explain: "Master Suo, you misunderstood, don't blame them, it's the officials who are willing to kneel here. The officials just asked the little eunuchs to report, the little eunuchs  It is said that the Empress Dowager and her old man did not sleep last night, and finally fell asleep at dawn, and the officials were afraid of disturbing the rest of the ancestors, so I asked the little father-in-laws not to report for the time being, and knelt here and waited."

    Suddenly realized, Suo'etu was inevitably a little moved - with the ghostly appearance of the Qing court now, there are really fewer and fewer loyal ministers like Yu Chenglong.  At that moment, Suo Etu hurriedly picked up Yu Jackie, and let the little eunuch go in to report while patting the snow for him. After a while, Li Yinzheng, Xiaozhuang's personal eunuch, ran out quickly, ran up to Yu Jackie and beat himself without saying a word.  The two mouths forced a few young eunuchs to kowtow to confess their crimes. Of course Yu Chenglong said it was okay, and then Li Yinzheng joined forces with Suo'etu to bring Yu Chenglong into the Palace of Compassion.

    After entering the Compassionate Palace, Yu Chenglong and Suo'etu soon saw the old witch of Xiaozhuang who just got up from the bed. Suo'etu didn't feel much when meeting the old witch of Xiaozhuang every day, but the Yamen rarely came to Beijing in Baoding  But Yu Chenglong was taken aback. He hadn't seen her for three or four months. The already old Xiaozhuang old witch seemed to be ten years older. There was hardly a single gray hair on her gray temples.  Wrinkles also became much more evident, and Yu Jackie Chan, who kowtowed and saluted with sentimentality, had a crying voice in his words, "My humble minister, Yu Jackie, kowtows to the ancestors of the Empress Dowager."

    "Your Majesty is free, please get up quickly." Xiaozhuang waved his hand, and then ordered: "Xiao Lizi, help Master Yu up quickly, and help him to sit by the charcoal stove."

    Yu Chenglong thanked him, Li Yinzheng followed the order, and took Yu Chenglong to the copper stove with a strong charcoal fire to sit down. Then the old witch of Xiaozhuang said apologetically: "Master Yu, don't blame me, Aijia thought about it all night last night.  I don¡¯t want to forget the important matter of summoning you until dawn.¡±

    "I don't dare." Yu Chenglong choked with sobs, "It's the empress dowager, you can't work so hard, I haven't seen you for four months, and you've almost lost weight again, I'm a little uncomfortable  Dare to admit it."

    "The Ai family knows that you are the same, so take care of yourself." The old witch of Xiaozhuang with obvious dark circles on her cloudy old eyes forced a smile, then turned to?? 

    "Who said that the Ai family is going to use this money to form a new army?" The old witch of Xiaozhuang gave Suo'etu a sideways look, and said coldly: "Yue Le said before the southern expedition that the new army that has not undergone strict training and actual combat  , When I met Lu Yifeng¡¯s team of thieves who have experienced many battles and are armed to the teeth, they are just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Using this money and food to form a new army to resist Lu Yifeng¡¯s northern expedition army is tantamount to throwing it into the water!"

    Suo'etu opened his mouth wide, and after a while he asked in surprise, "Old Ancestor, since that's the case, then why did you ask Yu Chenglong to prepare this money and food?"

    "Outside the pass is a barren land, with vast land and few people." The old hag of Xiaozhuang said lightly, "The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty withdrew outside the pass, and now go to reclaim wasteland to plant crops. How could there be time? Aijia didn't prepare enough money and grain for outside the pass  , What is the use of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty withdrawing from the pass?"

    "Old ancestor, are you planning to lead the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty to retreat outside the pass?" Suo'etu was so shocked that his voice trembled.

    "There is only one way to go." The old hag of Xiaozhuang said lightly: "The Wugou civil war has already begun, and Geng Jingzhong's son was beaten by Lu Yifeng's dog thieves.  The treachery of the thief, at this time, he will definitely not get involved in the Wugou civil war. He will only attack our Qing court first, drive us out of the pass, and obtain sufficient manpower in the north.  It¡¯s cheap to clean up the mess, and at the same time, it doesn¡¯t give us a chance to watch the fire from the other side. If the Ai family doesn¡¯t make preparations in advance to withdraw from the pass, it will be too late to prepare when Lu Yifeng¡¯s thieves make a full-scale northern expedition.¡±

    "My ancestors are far-sighted, and I admire you so much." Suo'etu hurriedly flattered, and then asked cautiously: "However, my ancestors, judging from the strength of Wugou's Northern Expedition, it seems unlikely that they can directly attack the city of Beijing.  Is it too early to start preparing to withdraw outside the pass?"

    "Soon, soon." The old witch of Xiaozhuang said coldly: "The reason why Lu Yifeng's dog thief didn't launch the Northern Expedition immediately was because Geng Jingzhong was still in Zhejiang, and because the autumn harvest had just ended in the north, and the common people still had some money.  For food, the time for his Northern Expedition is not yet ripe. When Geng Jingzhong succumbs, when the north is starving and hungry, the main force of Lu Yifeng's thieves can go north with confidence."

    Speaking of this, the old hag of Xiaozhuang paused for a moment, and there was an extremely vicious smile on her wrinkled old face, and she murmured: "The Ai family asked Yu Chenglong to come forward to fish in the lake, and it was also in response to Lu Yifeng's dog thief's Northern Expedition."  One way, if Lu Yifeng's dog thief hits Beijing, he will find that Beijing is completely empty, and the money and food are all supported by water transportation. In order to buy people's hearts, he must also invest a large amount of money and food in Zhili Shandong, which is full of starvation. Wait until he solves these problems  When there is a problem, our Daqing is outside the customs, and we can stand firm."

    "Old ancestor, do you want to use money, food and logistics to hold back Lu Yifeng's dog thief, so that he can't chase him outside the pass immediately?" Suo Etu finally understood the intention of the old witch Xiaozhuang.

    The old witch of Xiaozhuang nodded slowly, and then said darkly: "From now on, we will start to implement the reservation plan to withdraw outside the customs. First, we will secretly transport the rare and rare treasures in the Forbidden City to Shengjing, and then formulate a grain requisition for Shanxi governor Moersai."  The silver levy plan is to scrape off Shanxi as much as possible, send all the money and food to Shengjing, and leave the mess to Lu Yifeng's dog thief!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 401 Three Good Princes

    ?

    Li Tianzhi put forward conditions on behalf of Fatty Lu. Of course, Geng Jingzhong, Prince Geng, who offered to negotiate for peace, could not agree. When the local strength is not too disadvantaged, he surrendered the whole of Zhejiang to the Fatty Army, and he had to run back to the past.  Wanghai Tower of Jingnan Wangfu bowed his head to his begging Fatty Lu, saluted and paid tribute. His self-esteem was very strong, and Prince Geng naturally couldn't swallow this breath.

    There is also a more critical point. As long as the half of Zhejiang that was hard to conquer after spending countless manpower and material resources, Prince Geng would never easily agree to the conditions of the Fatty Army, so after receiving the reply from the Fatty Army, Geng  The first thing the prince did was to overturn the table in front of him, curse the eighteenth generation of Fatty Lu and Li Tianzhi's ancestors, and muster up the courage to go out to the city to fight again, trying to use force to drive away the Fatty's army who entangled like a gangrene.  .

    It's a pity that Prince Geng wants to fight decisively, but Li Tianzhi doesn't want to fight decisively. Needless to say, if he loses the decisive battle, the consequences will only be cheap. Therefore, as soon as Prince Geng's army is dispatched, the Fatty Army will immediately attack  Divided into two groups, the main force retreated across the Dongyang River and stationed on the west bank, while some troops hid in the small town of Lanxi and defended behind closed doors.  No more, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the food and supplies were also consumed. They had no choice but to retreat to Jinhua City. The main force of the fat man calmly crossed the river and continued to bite Prince Geng's tail.

    When things got to this point, Prince Geng had only three options left, one was to agree to the humiliating conditions of the fat man army;  A decisive battle with Zheng Jing who copied Lord Geng's old lair - but this decision is tantamount to fighting on two fronts and dividing up the forces. Not only is it easy to be defeated by each of them, but it is also likely to recruit Shang Zhixin's jackal, and fall into the danger of fighting on the third front.

    The third option was put forward by Prince Geng's confidant Liu Yunxiang behind the backs of Geng's generals, that is, to send envoys to understand Zheng Jing well, to recognize Zheng Jing's gains in the land he captured in Fujian, to cease fighting with the existing controlled areas as the boundary, and to join forces.  Aggressive Fat Army.  Liu Yunxiang also believes that in front of the powerful Fatty Army, Geng Jun and Zheng Jun are already in a deadlocked relationship. If Geng Jun perishes, Zheng Jun will not have a good life!  In the same way, if Zheng Jun perishes, Geng Jun will not want to be alone in front of the fat army. Instead of choosing to surrender to the fat army and kill each other with Zheng Jun, it is better to join forces with Zheng Jing to kill the fat army and first consolidate the living space.  The acquired interests of Zhejiang, free up their hands to retake the land in Fujian that was taken away by Zheng Jing!

    I have to admit that although Liu Yunxiang's proposal is crazy, it is absolutely correct in terms of strategy. No matter who fights alone, Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing cannot be the opponent of the fat army. The only way is to give up conflicts and disputes and work together.  Only Zheng Jing can achieve a win-win situation.  And our Prince Geng has been confused for most of his life, and at this critical moment of life and death, he finally came to his senses. After thinking twice, he resolutely made a wise choice and sent the eloquent Jiang Yuanxun back to Fujian day and night to visit Zheng Jing in Quanzhou.  Ask for a truce and borrow troops to resist the fat man's southern crimes.

    ?Because Wenzhou was still under the control of the Geng army, Jiang Yuanxun immediately boarded a sea ship and headed south after arriving in Wenzhou, and it didn't take long to arrive in Quanzhou.  At the same time, Taiwan's Zheng army, freed from the burden of Hangzhou, has captured the eight counties of Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Xinghua, Shaowu, Chaozhou, Huizhou, Longyan, and Tingzhou under the strong containment of the fat man's army, and its strength has greatly increased.  , and has basically established a firm foothold on the mainland, and has surrounded Yanping Prefecture, the largest grain-producing area of ??Geng Jingzhong's army.  He sent letters asking for help to Geng Jingzhong three times in a row, and the situation was in dire straits.

    The situation was so critical that Jiang Yuanxun didn't dare to delay. As soon as the ship landed on the Quanzhou Wharf, he immediately identified himself to the Zheng Jun team on the wharf, presented a gift and asked Zheng Jing to receive him immediately.  What Jiang Yuanxun never imagined in his wildest dreams was that his normal request was rudely rejected by Zheng Jing, and he replied ordering Jiang Yuanxun to leave immediately, let Geng Jingzhong wash his neck and wait to die.  Jiang Yuanxun secretly scolded Zheng Jing for his short-sightedness, but still refused to give up. He stood in front of Zheng Jing's Xingyuan gate and begged repeatedly. He also asked Zheng Jing's soldiers to report again, only to see Zheng Jing.

    Fortunately, Jiang Yuanxun's luck is not bad. Chen Junyin, the official of Zheng Jun, happened to come to Zheng Jing Xingyuan to see him on business, and happened to bump into Jiang Yuanxun. After hearing Jiang Yuanxun's intention of coming, Chen Junyin, who had a very strategic vision, immediately realized the opportunity  Coming, let Jiang Yuanxun wait for a while, and go in to persuade Zheng Jing to meet Jiang Yuanxun.  After Chen Junyin's earnest persuasion, Zheng Jing finally agreed to meet Jiang Yuanxun.

    ?Meeting does not necessarily mean that Jiang Yuanxun's trip will be successful. After Jiang Yuanxun explained his intentions in front of Zheng Jing and the civil and military personnel of the Yanping Palace, Zheng Jing and most of them"My lord!  "

    After Geng Xianzu and Liu Yunxiang happily returned to Jinhua City to report the good news to Geng Jingzhong, Geng Jingzhong was amazed at the benevolence and righteousness of the fat army, and signed the form of surrender without hesitation.  On the second day, he personally went to the Fatty Army camp, bowed and knelt down to receive the seal of King Jinghai that Fatty Lu had prepared for him a long time ago, becoming the first feudal prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and negotiated with Li Tianzhi face to face  Handed over all the details of the whole territory of Zhejiang, and gave up Jinhua City on the first day of February, led the army back to Wenzhou, and ordered Chuzhou, Taizhou, and Quzhou to hand over the defense to the Fatty Army, withdraw to Wenzhou to gather, and prepare to start recovery  The war in the whole territory of Fujian - recovering for the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

    It was also on the way to withdraw the troops that Prince Geng realized that the taste was wrong. In order to capture Zhejiang, he paid more than three or four times the military ration of 150,000 shi and 800,000 taels of silver?  Fatty Lu only took out one-third or even one-fourth of the capital¡ªor paid in installments, and took away all the profits. Why should I be grateful to him?

    "Bah! Profiteer!" Prince Geng spat heavily, and cursed again, "Great profiteer!"

    Note: Zheng Jingshu's short-sighted refusal of Geng Jingzhong's peace is not a fiction. It is true in history. In history, Geng and Zheng formed an alliance. Zheng Jing took advantage of the opportunity of the main force of Geng's army to go north to Zhejiang, and indeed captured Geng Jingzhong's hometown in Fujian Province except Fuzhou, Jianning and Hebei Province.  All state capitals outside Yanping.  Even so, in order to unite against the Qing Dynasty, Geng Jingzhong sent envoys to condemn Zheng Jing's betrayal of the alliance, but did not call back the main force of the anti-Qing Dynasty to counterattack Zheng Jing, showing a rare strategic vision and a relatively broad mind.

    Later, Jie Shu led the Qing army into Fujian and surrounded Fuzhou and the two cities of Yanping. Geng Jingzhong sent Wang Jingong, an effective general, to Quanzhou to seek help from Zheng Jing.  He was granted the title of Kuang Mingbo, the admiral of Taiwan.  Geng Jingzhong was forced to surrender to Jieshu, and then immediately led the remaining main force of Geng's army to launch a counterattack against Zheng Jing. It took only ten months to recover the entire territory of Fujian and drive Zheng Jing back to Taiwan¡ªbut it was a pity  , Geng Jingzhong recovered for Kang Mazi, five years later, Geng Jingzhong was tricked by Kang Mazi back to Beijing, Ling Chi executed.

    All of the above are historical facts, which are recorded in "Min Nan Ji", "Ping Ding San Ni Fanglue", "Mite Qing Mazu Records", "Taiwan Foreign Records", "Yunnan Beizheng Zhi", "Five Fans Ji Cheng", "Taiwan  If you are interested, you can refer to historical materials such as Provincial General Annals, Jianhuolu, Jiashen Chaoshi Xiaoji, Haishang Wenlu and Qing History Rebellious Officials.

 Chapter 402 Fatty's Northern Expedition

    ?

    Although it is too useless and aggrieved to give up the whole of Zhejiang to the Fatty Army, the proud and arrogant Prince Geng also finds it difficult to accept Fatty Lu who once went to his Wanghai Tower to beg for food and beg for travel expenses, but after really giving in and bowing his head  , Prince Geng suddenly learned what it means to take a step back and broaden the sky. Not only did all the problems be solved, but the situation on the Fujian-Guangdong battlefield suddenly became favorable to Prince Geng.

    The most favorable thing about the situation for Prince Geng is of course the truce with the Fatty Army. Although Li Tianzhi's regiment on the southern line is the weakest among the Fatty Army's several major regiments, it still has a certain advantage over Lord Geng. Even if Prince Geng wins by weak  Strongly defeating Li Tianzhi, one's own strength will also be severely damaged, and at the same time, it will definitely attract the full retaliation of the main force of the Fatty Army. If the remaining three legions of the Fatty Army are randomly pulled out, they are absolutely sure to kill Prince Geng in seconds!  It is a great thing for Lord Geng to be able to cease fighting with such an opponent and win the support of such a powerful ally.

    An equally important favorable situation is that Prince Geng can win Shang Zhixin as a friend. Even if Prince Geng is beaten to death, he does not believe that Shang Zhixin will always get along with his brother-in-law Fatty Lu and will never swallow him up.  But Lord Geng can be sure of one thing, that is, Shang Zhixin, who was also robbed of a large piece of land by Zheng Jing, will never miss this opportunity to beat the dog in the water. Even if he doesn't directly send troops to help, at least he will be able to contain it on the southern front of the Fujian-Guangdong battlefield.  Living in a large number of Taiwanese troops is related to the fundamental interests of Shang Zhixin's territory, and it will never be discounted in the slightest.

    The situation is indeed developing in this direction. On February 16th, the main force of Prince Geng had just withdrawn to Wenzhou Fucheng, and the first batch of money and food promised by the Fatty Army had just landed at Wenzhou Wharf by sea. Shang Zhiying, the fourteenth brother of Shang Zhixin,  Immediately, he ran to Wenzhou like a fly smelling blood. On behalf of his eldest brother, he asked Lord Geng to form an alliance and jointly beat Zheng Jing, who was robbing the territory.  Ready, you can stab Zheng Jing's knife in the back at any time.

    Naturally, Lord Geng would not refuse the allies who offered to come to your door. Not only did he agree to form an alliance, but he also agreed to the additional conditions put forward by Shang Zhiying on behalf of Shang Zhixin, that is, to open sea and land roads to the Pingnan Palace, so that Shang Zhixin can ask for it from his brother-in-law.  Money needs food and weapons¡ª¡ªGong Wang is naturally willing to give Fatty Lu who can disgust the mind of jackals.  Immediately, the two hit it off, signed a covenant immediately, and then rolled up their sleeves and started working hard.

    In late February, Prince Geng and Prince Shang, who had hated Zheng Jing for a long time, fought together. Prince Shang sent his trusted general Wang Guodong to send 20,000 troops to attack Haifeng County, Huizhou, where Zheng Jing's team was entrenched.  Shang Zhixin's army completely gained the upper hand, while Zheng Jing's troops were unable to stop Shang Zhixin's offensive because of their rapid expansion and scattered forces. They were forced to abandon Haifeng and retreat to Lufeng, and asked Zheng Jing for help.  Zheng Jing was shocked when he heard the news and urgently ordered Liu Jinzhong in Chaozhou to send troops to rescue. Unexpectedly, Liu Jinzhong was annoyed that Zheng Jing would destroy the unity of the anti-Qing troops regardless of the overall situation, so he stood still and watched Lu Feng's Zheng army besieged by Shang Zhixin without saving him.

    At the same time, Geng Jingzhong also launched an all-out retaliation against Zheng Jun. Bai Xianzhong returned to Tingzhou, Fujian from Xianxia Pass, and Zeng Yangxing returned to Jianning from Fushi Pass.  Yanping Prefecture, the food producing area, launched a counterattack.  And Geng Jingzhong personally led the 50,000 main force to go south together by sea and land, and rushed to rescue Fuzhou, which was attacked by Zheng Jing's main force, and fought with Geng's army at Honglu Post, Fuqiao.  The city was closed and defended. Zhu Feihuo, the captain of the Geng Army Navy, led Zhang Wangong, Xu Ying and other generals. With the support of the Fatty Army's cannons and Molotov cocktails, they also defeated the partial division of the Zheng Army Navy in the Haitan Island area, forcing the Zheng Army Navy to return to Meizhou.  On the island, Zheng Jun's north and south roads were in emergency together.

    The situation on the battlefield, which was extremely favorable just now, suddenly reversed. Of course, Zheng Jing was furious. He also found out that the main force of the Geng army returned to Fujian because the Fatty Army intentionally condoned it, and also subsidized a large amount of food, supplies, and military pay. Zheng Jing was even more furious.  An envoy Ke Ping was sent to Nanjing Xingshi to inquire about the crime, accusing Fatty Lu of betraying his alliance and breaking his trust in the world, and asking Fatty Lu to immediately stop all support for Geng Jingzhong and start a new war against Geng Jingzhong!

    Whether Zheng Jing's condemnation and request will be effective will not be discussed for the time being. As the main force of Geng's army returns to Fujian, Shang Zhixin, who has accumulated strength for a long time, joins the battle.  The strategic plan was finally successfully achieved, and the Fatty Army is also in a favorable position on the southern front. At least for a year, the Fatty Army does not need to be distracted by the urgent military situation on the southern front, and can free up its hands to deal with other enemies  , and then take action to clean up the mess in Fujian and Guangdong.

    March is already spring, and the southeast wind is blowing heavily. Ke Ping, the envoy sent by Zheng Jing from the sea, has to rush to Nanjing City to condemn Fatty Lu's betrayal of the alliance face to face, but Fatty Lu rolled his eyes and snorted coldly: "  Who betrayed the alliance? This king signed a contract with Yanping PalaceOn March 28th, the first year of Honghua in the Great Zhou Dynasty, after intensive preparations and arrangements, and after confirming again and again that the Wu army¡¯s civil war had expanded throughout the southwest, Fatty Lu finally issued a decree at the Yinluan Hall, determined to lead the army himself  Initiate the Northern Expedition to completely eradicate the Qing court, first drive the Qing court back to the north of the Great Wall, and then arrange a plan to completely wipe out the Qing court.

    Although there are many people who object to Fatty Lu going out in person and staying away from the Nanjing Center, Fatty Lu, who even dreamed of personally marching into Beijing City, has already undergone careful consideration and careful arrangements, and categorically rejected the kindness of these lackeys, and issued an order on the spot  , ordered Han Daren, the general who conquered the West, to lead his army across the Yellow River and march westward to Huaiqing Mansion in Henan, cut off the connection between the Tongguan Qing army and Zhili, and waited for an opportunity to capture the entire territory of Shanxi.  He also ordered Gao Dejie, the general who conquered the North, to go north immediately and capture the whole territory of Shandong.  Fatty Lu personally led an army of 80,000 troops to the north to meet them, and he joined the high-level Czech army to launch a fatal blow to the Qing court. He also ordered Wang Shaobo, Xie Dong, Wang Xu, and Qin Yong to sit in Nanjing to take care of the overall situation.

    Killing a chicken with a sledgehammer, Fatty Lu's Northern Expedition army was close to 200,000. The 80,000 army led by Fatty Lu was drawn from the four major legions and formed. More than 30,000 were recruits or newly surrendered troops.  After the invasion of Shandong, the military establishment also exceeded the 50,000 mark, and Han Daren was even more ruthless. He recruited various cannon fodder in Anhui and Henan, and the army has exceeded 60,000.  The three armies marched north and west together, Han Daren was in charge of cutting off the mites and clearing the wings, Gao Dejie opened the way, and Lu Fatty shamelessly went straight to Huanglong!

    On April 12th, the last Fatty Army dispatched to participate in the Northern Expedition returned to Zhenjiang from Zhejiang. Fatty Lu also worshiped the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum and the spirit tablets of the old traitor Wu in Nanjing, and led the army on the journey in person.  Before leaving, Fatty Lu gritted his teeth and said to all the soldiers in the army, "Beijing is the Beijing of the Chinese! It is not a Beijing full of dogs! No matter how long the dogs have been entrenched in Beijing, no matter how deep the legacy of the dogs in Beijing is,  We Han people will drive them all out! All, wipe out!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 403

    ?

    Although he didn't make up his mind to make the Northern Expedition until the last moment, Fatty Lu chose the timing of the Northern Expedition too well. In the south, Geng Jingzhong, Zheng Jing and Monk Zhixin fought for the territory and fought to the death; Wu's relatives and Wu's clan in the west  In order to fight for power and profit, the fight is also in full swing, the earth is turned upside down, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger. They want the other party's life with red eyes, and they can't pull out their hands to restrain Fatty Lu.

    As for the enemy of the Fatty Army's Northern Expedition, the Qing court, all the elite main forces were exhausted, and the remaining troops were far from being the opponent of the Fatty Army in terms of quantity and quality. Not to mention blocking Fatty Lu's Northern Expedition army, they just wanted to delay it a little.  And delaying the Northward march of the Fatty Army is a big problem - from this point of view, the military situation faced by the Fatty Army is even far better than Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition back then.

    At the same time, due to climate change, population growth, and over-exploitation of land, the Shandong area of ??Zhili has long been unable to achieve food self-sufficiency.  The local officials of the Qing Dynasty took turns to search for many times. The economy has already collapsed completely, starvation is everywhere, the people are in dire straits, and people's hearts are changing, including many people in the Qing Dynasty.  The relatively well-disciplined fat army really had a hard time not getting the support of the people.

    Fatty's army's Northern Expedition can only be described as devastated. Gao Dejie, who opened the way for the main force of the Fatty's army, received an order to attack the whole of Shandong. The troops were divided into two groups.  After attacking Dongping and Dongchang, they attacked Tai'an and Jinan all the way. Not long after the army set off, Dongping, Feicheng, Laiwu and other places rushed to send surrender forms, automatically cut their braids and surrendered, and presented their local household registers.  Zhu Xiaochun, the prefect of Tai'an's traitorous bannerman, threatened to live and die with the city of Tai'an, and even used his wealth to recruit Xiangyong to fight the Fatty Army.  The unreasonable people named Wang Xiaoer led them to seize Tai'an City, cut off his head, and dedicated it to the Fatty Army along with the city.

    Zhu Xiaochun may have been a loyal minister to the Qing court, but it is a pity that this loyal minister forgot an old saying - the world is not in chaos, Shandong is the first to turn back!  The people in Shandong are honest and simple, but if the rulers annoy the people in Shandong, the honest and simple will become a tough folk custom. In the past two years, Shandong has been starved and killed, and there are countless people who cannibalize each other. However, the Qing court is still working hard in Shandong.  Raising taxes to collect food, and issuing Qing military currency that is worse than sassafras paper, extortionate extortion and extortion, forcibly exchanging the pitifully small cash in the hands of the people and refusing to pay back, the stomachs of Shandong people have long been full of anger, seized the opportunity  Naturally, he wanted to vent his anger, and Zhu Xiaochun naturally died without injustice.

    Probably because of Zhu Xiaochun¡¯s lesson, Gao Dejie personally led the army to go north along the Tai¡¯an official road. When they first entered Jinan Prefecture, Shandong governor Zhang Fengyi and Shandong admiral Duan Yingju who were in Jinan sealed the Shandong provincial treasury and government treasury, and led nine  Thousands of soldiers from the green battalion who hadn't received a penny of military pay for more than half a year went south for thirty miles and came to Gaode Jiema to ask for surrender.  Zhang Fengyi was the governor of Zhili, and Duan Yingju was appointed general of Jingbei. They asked Gao Dejie to assist Gao Dejie in sweeping up the remaining state capitals in Shandong. He also appointed Zhang Bingzhi, the former Jiangsu inspector who had surrendered to the Fatty Army, as the governor of Shandong to form the Great Zhou Shandong.  provincial government.

    With the help of Zhang Fengyi and Duan Yingju, the two leading parties, the fat man's army captured the remaining state capitals in Shandong more smoothly. Wherever the army went, almost no state or government led the army to resist.  Donate the city, occasionally a few local officials stubbornly resisted, and basically did not use the fat army to do anything, the mite green battalion led by these local officials had already killed them first - I haven't received a penny of military pay for more than half a year, ghosts  Willing to work hard for these idiots and officials.  In less than a month, more than half of Shandong's prefectures have been included in the Fat Man's territory, and only Laizhou and Dengzhou have not changed their flags¡ªit's not that these two prefectures blocked the Fat Man's Army, but that these two prefectures are too remote  , the fat army who expanded too fast couldn't spare a hand to get it.

    At the same time, the Fat Man's Western Expeditionary Army led by Han Daren also advanced all the way, like a broken bamboo, and successively captured¡ªto be precise, they successively took over the Weihui Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion in Henan, and the Zezhou Mansion in Shanxi, and then divided into two.  With a partial division, Zhangde Mansion was taken down easily. The governor of Henan, Tong Fengcai, was surnamed Tong Jia because of unlucky luck, so he did not dare to surrender to the Fatty Army, so he fled back to Beijing.  The famous city of Zhili.  In the end, Han Daren's army was forced to stop expanding and wait for the food and grass to arrive because it was difficult to provide food for the army, and the time was too short to collect food on the spot.

    On May 18th, the 80,000 main force of Fatty's army going north along the canal, led by Lu Fatty himself, arrived at Dongchang Mansion in Shandong, where they joined forces with Gao Dejie's forward team.sp; "Patriarchs of the Qing Dynasty, please open your eyes!"

    When the discussion about escape was in full swing, a cry suddenly sounded in the Golden Luan Hall. Everyone was surprised and turned their heads to look, only to see that the person who cried bitterly was Kang Mazi's cousin Jie who had just been scolded bloody by the old witch of Xiaozhuang.  Shu, Jieshu kowtowed desperately to the northeast, and cried loudly, "The ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, please open your eyes and see, our country and mountains in the Qing Dynasty will be given away for nothing! Our Qing Dynasty  There is clearly hope for the country, but some people just don¡¯t want this hope, and they must give away the country that you shed blood and sweat! Please take a look, what kind of group are your descendants?  stuff!"

    While crying and shouting, Jieshu kowtowed desperately until his forehead bled, and the civil and military officials of Miqing who advocated escape were also full of shame and had to keep their mouths shut. Only the old witch of Xiaozhuang remained calm and said to Jieshu coldly:  "Lord Kang, you don't need to point fingers at Sang Huai. The Great Qing Dynasty has fallen to this day. The Ai family can stand up and say to the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty that the Ai family not only has no responsibility at all, you can also hold your head high and say that there is no Ai family.  With all your hard work, the Great Qing Dynasty will only end faster!"

    "It's not your responsibility, whose responsibility is that?" Jie Shu was so angry that his braids almost stood on end.

    "You all know who is responsible." The old witch Xiaozhuang sneered and said, "Among the responsible persons, you must be Lord Kang. If you were not captured alive by Lu Yifeng in the Bajiang battlefield in Guizhou, and then  Two poor scholars threatened to cut off your life, and forced Zhao Liangdong's rescuers to retreat. Will the main elite of the Qing Dynasty be wiped out by the old thief Wu Sangui? Our Qing army will have almost no elites to use in the subsequent battles.  The thief and Lu Yifeng's dog thief retreated steadily, losing cities and lands one after another?"

    "Our Qing army went from prosperity to decline, and the turning point was the Battle of Bajiang! The number one culprit in Bajiang's disastrous defeat was you, Prince Kang! Things have come to this point, thanks to you, you still have the face to accuse Aijia of ruining the Qing Dynasty  , Are your eyes black, or your conscience has been eaten by dogs?!"

    Being publicly exposed by the old witch of Xiaozhuang, Jieshu was speechless and his face started to have a fever. The surrounding princes Baylor and all the civil and military officials were also shocked. It was the first time they knew about the Bajiang War  special inside story.  After Jieshu blushed for a long time, he suddenly raised his head again, and said solemnly to the old witch of Xiaozhuang: "Old ancestor, in the battle of Bajiang, the slave really deserved to die.  The ancestors gave the slaves a chance to make meritorious service and atone for their crimes, and let the slaves stay in Beijing. It is best if they can hold on to Beijing until the Qing Dynasty counterattacks.

    The old hag of Xiaozhuang stared at Jie Shu, seeing the firmness in Jie Shu's eyes, and after thinking again and again, the old hag of Xiaozhuang sighed, and murmured: "After all, we are the descendants of the Aixinjueluo family, and we still have a bit of backbone.  Well, the Ai family promises you that the Ai family will only take away 1,000 Fengtai garrisons, and leave the rest of the Fengtai garrison and Miyun garrison to you. The southern army is not resistant to wind and snow, and the transportation of grain and grass is not very convenient, and there are still some hidden dangers in the rear.  If you can hold Beijing for three months and drag it into winter, the Ai family will definitely send you reinforcements."

    "Thanks to the ancestors of the Empress Dowager!" Jie Shu kowtowed vigorously, and then said solemnly: "I swear to God, as long as I still have breath, Lu Yifeng's dog thief will never even think about stepping into Beijing!"

    The old witch of Xiaozhuang didn't pay attention to Jie Shu's impassioned words, but turned her eyes to the outside of the Jinluan Hall, looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the south, and sighed softly: "The world is really wonderful. Four years ago, you were greedy for life and afraid of death.  You ruined the last chance to save the elite of our Qing Dynasty, and made Lu Yifeng a dog thief. After four years, you are going to fight to the death against the Lu Yifeng dog thief under the city of Beijing to defend the capital of our Qing Dynasty.  Is it a coincidence, or fate? Well, I hope this time, you're not just a manipulator."

    In the first year of Honghua in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and on June 12th in the first year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, since the main force of the Northern Expedition led by Fatty Lu had already broken through Nanpi and approached Cangzhou, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang of the Qing Dynasty was not allowed to bring her four-year-old great-grandson with her.  Fleeing from Beijing, taking all the rare treasures, gold, silver, grain and rice, he fled to Shengjing via Zunhua and Shanhaiguan, where he was going to start again and rebuild the Qing court.  Most of the Qing prince Baylor and all the civil and military officials fled with the old witch of Xiaozhuang. Only Prince Qingkang Jieshu and a small number of civil and military officials stayed in Beijing, preparing to lead the last ten thousand troops to defend Beijing Jiancheng and the city that was  The first city in China that has been poisoned since the Qing Dynasty.

 Chapter 404 Prepare to Siege

    ?

    (ps: I have been disconnected from the Internet for a whole day, and all the information on the city wall of old Beijing is searched online on my mobile phone, which wastes a lot of time, so the number of words is less, please understand.)

    The fat man's army is partial to Gao Dejie's team, most of which are cavalry. On the North China Plain, they are more mobile than the main force of the fat man's army led by Lu Fatzi himself.  It was a full-strength rush and attack, and the advancing speed even surpassed the main force of the Fatty Army. On the ninth day of June, the main force of the Fatty Army had just broken through Nanpi and advanced towards Cangzhou, when Gao Dejie's team reached the city of Zhengding.

    Fatty's army approached the city, and the magistrate of Zhengding, who had only a thousand local soldiers in his hands, knew that he was not an opponent. He honestly opened the city and surrendered.  The traitor from Zhenglan Banner has always been known for being greedy and violent, and has a very bad reputation among the people. He knows that the fat army cannot forgive him, and he also heard that the old witch of Xiaozhuang has already taken Kang Mazi away, so Chang Wenkui also  Without hesitation, he fled to Liaodong with gold, silver, jewelry, his wife and children early on, and the Gaode Jie army took the small town of Dingzhou without any effort, and continued to advance towards Baoding, the provincial capital of Zhili.  At the same time, the main force of the Fatty Army led by Fatty Lu had just arrived in Cangzhou, more than a hundred miles behind Beijing.

    However, that's all for now. According to Fatty Lu's crow's words, the Gaode Jiejun, who had been advancing all the way, was advancing like a broken bamboo. Under Baoding City, which was guarded by Jackie Chan, it encountered the most fierce resistance since the Fatty Army's Northern Expedition.  The famous Yu Chenglong not only flatly rejected the surrender of Fatty Army forward Gao Qi, but also lifted the coffin up to the Baoding City Wall, and personally led more than 1,000 Green Battalion soldiers and 4,000 rural soldiers in Baoding City to resist the Fatty Army's siege.  Yu Chenglong's official reputation is very good, and he has a strong appeal among the people. Most of the 100,000 people in Baoding City went to the city to help in the battle.  Siege.

    After the two sieges failed, Gao Qi's troops, who suffered heavy casualties, had to stop and wait for the brigade led by Gao Dejie to arrive with heavy siege artillery, and then use regular siege tactics to attack Baoding Fucheng together with the main force of Gao Dejie's army  .  At the same time, the Fatty Army led by Fatty Lu surrendered the small city of Cangzhou without bloodshed, and continued to march towards Jinghai County with a wicked smile.

    There was no Tianjin Mansion in the Mazi Dynasty, but only one Tianjin Guard, and the Tianjin General Soldier led the army to garrison. The notorious traitor Zhao Liangdong in history and Liu Guoxuan who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty both served in this position. The current Tianjin General Soldier is called Li Zhending, who is also a traitor.  Zhenglan Banner people have about four or five thousand traitor green battalion soldiers stationed in Jinghai, Tanggu and Tianjin Acropolis respectively. At the same time, because Tianjin Defense needs to consolidate the defense of Gyeonggi, the fortifications of the city are quite complete and strong. If  According to the words of the city guard, it could indeed cause some troubles for the Fatty Army, so Lu Fatty did not dare to underestimate the enemy. In addition to sending a large number of scouts to closely observe the every move of the Qing army in Tianjin, he also sent envoys with heavy gifts to the Acropolis of Tianjin to surrender.  Take down Li Zhending's team by appeasement.

    To Fatty Lu's surprise, it didn't take long for the scouts to spread the news, saying that Li Zhending's army had abandoned the relatively well-fortified cities of Tianjin, and they all withdrew to Beijing, taking away all the food, grass and weapons that could be taken away.  , and took away a large number of middle-aged people, the current Tianjin Weizhu City is basically an empty city.  After hearing the news, Fatty Lu's heart sank unavoidably, and Yao Qisheng, who was accompanying the army on the sidelines, also immediately warned: "My lord, the siege of Beijing this time may not be as easy as imagined, and our army may have to fight hard for a long time.  psychological preparation."

    Fatty Lu nodded slowly, deeply sympathetic to Yao Qisheng's warning, since staying behind Jieshu decisively gave up the Tianjin Zhuwei City, he will definitely give up the small cities around Beijing, and gather all who can concentrate in the strong city of Beijing to fight tenaciously and strive for as much as possible.  There may be a delay, but my main army has gone two thousand miles alone, there is almost no food available for the newly occupied land, and the logistical burden is extremely heavy. If Beijing cannot be captured quickly, the siege battle will be delayed for a long time, the food and grass will be insufficient and the rear will catch fire, and I will miss it again.  The precious summer and autumn time was wasted, and the southern soldiers were impatient with the wind and snow, and it was not possible to experience the first defeat in their lives when they capsized in the gutter.

    After careful consideration for a while, in addition to ordering the army to continue to march and take over the cities of Tianjin, Fatty Lu also called Mao Yougui, the vice-admiral of the navy who led the fleet to escort the food and supplies, and told him: "General Mao, from now on, your ship  In addition to carrying food and grass, the team has to cut down all the wood on both sides of the canal that can be used to build siege weapons and send them to Beijing together. Is there enough manpower? If not, I will give you a few thousand more infantry?"

    "Chopping wood?" Mao Yougui was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Dare to ask your lord, why do you want to cut wood?"

    "You have never been to Beijing, so you don't know the surroundings of Beijing." Fatty Lu explained casually: "Because of the huge population growth and massive land development, there are no more places around Beijing.The bridge on the moat of Yangmen should not only be wider, but also very strong, suitable for transporting siege weapons across the river.  "

    "My lord is brilliant, I also saw this just now. The Chaoyang Gate bridge is indeed wider, but I didn't expect it to be used in siege warfare." Yao Qisheng hurriedly flattered, "Your official can be sure, and Jie Shu must not have paid attention to it.  up to this point."

    "Have he paid attention to him? Leave him alone for the time being, but this guy has improved somewhat." Fatty Lu sighed, "Judging from the fact that he organized the people to help defend the city and the city defense arrangements are extremely strict, this guy  Nian is still learning while fighting on the battlefield, if I give him a good army to defend the city, and give him more time to arrange arrangements, I may not be able to take Beijing city with confidence."

    Putting a high hat on the enemy to elevate himself in disguise, Fatty Lu ordered again: "Pass down the order, let Hu Tongchun lead an army of 20,000 to march westward, and set up another big camp 20 miles outside Chaoyang Gate, and take all of us away.  All the cannons were dispatched outside Chaoyangmen, bombarding the city walls of Chaoyangmen day and night, destroying the towers and fortifications of Chaoyangmen, and also destroying the morale of the army, wait for the siege weapons to be ready before launching the siege!"

    Speaking of this, Fatty Lu paused, gritted his teeth and gave an unprecedented order, "Also, tell the brothers, after the capture of Beijing, the inner city of Beijing, where the people live, will be disbanded for seven days. Brothers want to  You can be as happy as you want! Dogs and chickens will not stay!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 405 Attacking Qingdu (Part 1)

    ?

    On the first day of July, fifty Hongyi heavy cannons and one hundred and twenty sub-cannons were transported to the city of Beijing, and they were lined up three miles away from Chaoyangmen.  The hard-core old gangster is still the usual taciturn, shrugging his eyelids as if he is not awake, but from his unusually careful attitude of personally checking and checking each cannon, it can be seen that this hard-core old gangster has also passed away.  I was so excited that I couldn't help myself, and the skinny veteran who was calculating the abacus was trembling slightly with nervousness when calculating the ruler.

    Jiexuan was not the only one who was so excited, and Jiexuan's reaction was quite calm. Countless literati with backbone who volunteered to join the fat army burst into tears on the spot, and some literati cried while telling the formation to wait.  The soldiers of the Fat Man Army said that this was the second time that the Han Chinese attacked Beijing, the capital of China, which was occupied by Huawai barbarians. The last time it was Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, this time it was the Fat Man Army.  The end of the Yuan Dynasty, this time the Fatty Army broke through the city of Beijing, and it can also be declared that the mite, which is more cruel, vicious and cunning than the Yuan Dynasty, is over. Every soldier of the Fatty Army who participated in the siege will be remembered forever  .

    Driven and brainwashed by these traitorous literati, to be honest, the fat army officers and soldiers who are not highly educated and class conscious are gradually excited and excited.  My name and deeds are printed on the book and written on the painting.  But it is a pity that the defenders of the Qing army in Beijing did not have the courage to go out to fight in the field. Even after seeing the fat army's artillery transported outside the city for adjustment, no Qing army general and soldier dared to go out of the city to destroy the fat army.  This is true of the artillery formation, including Jie Shu.

    The artillery calibration is over, and the artillery battle is about to begin. According to Fatty Lu's request and the habit of the Fatty Army, Fatty Lu, who served as the vanguard of the siege, sent two envoys, one Han and one mite, to trot to the foot of Beijing city with a white flag in their hands.  He mite language called for surrender and publicized the policy of the Fat Man Army.  The Han envoy shouted, "Han compatriots in Beijing, don't blame us for not reminding you in advance that the prince of the Great Zhou Yue has a grand decree.  , Keep it for the official position! Dare to follow Man Gou to fight, want to be a hardcore traitor to be buried with Man Gou, catch one and kill one! The whole family will not stay!"

    "Brother Mizhou in Beijing, you heard me clearly." The messenger of the Miren shouted in ugly language, "Kaicheng surrendered, and the people of Mizhou in Beijing only killed Aixinjueluo, Niu Gulu,  The four surnames of Hesheli and Tong Jia! Dare to resist, the people of Mizhou in the city of Beijing will not spare any chickens or dogs!"

    The answer to the Fat Army envoy's surrender was, of course, the rain of arrows and bullets that fell overwhelmingly. The two Fat Army envoys fled back in embarrassment with injuries.  Since the Han mite soldiers and civilians in Beijing refused to appreciate it, they had long been suffocating to eradicate the mite legacy from Beijing. Fatty Lu and the Fatty Army can also do it freely.  With Hu Tongchun's order, one hundred and seventy artillery pieces of light and heavy guns were ignited together, and the extremely fierce offensive and defensive battle of Beijing City also kicked off.

    In addition to shocking the defenders and shaking the morale of the enemy, the artillery volley of the Fat Army's army also had another important purpose of destroying the fortifications on the city wall of Beijing, especially the Chaoyangmen Tower, which was four stories high and full of arrow holes.  The primary target of the heavy artillery is to destroy the enemy. In order to deter the enemy more effectively, the Fat Man Army also used high-precision shells with three good explosives inside. More than half of the 170 shells hit the Chaoyangmen tower accurately, and the explosion sounded earth-shattering.  It also echoed on the walls of Beijing.

    Amid the deafening explosions, the brick and wood Chaoyangmen tower was struck like an invisible sledgehammer, the bricks, stones and tiles were splashed immediately, the roof was smashed through, the walls were smashed, and the windows were directly smashed through.  Now, every arrow hole in the window was spraying flames and smoke. The violent explosion shook the soldiers of the Qing army on the city wall to stand unsteadily.  A few shells happened to hit the window of the Tibetan barracks and directly smashed into the room and exploded. Countless flesh and blood spewed out of the window, and the screams of dying made every defending soldier and civilian feel terrified.

    The violent shelling continued, and the defenders on the Chaoyang Gate were also in bad luck. The shells of the Fat Man Army dropped almost every moment, and they exploded as soon as they hit the ground, blowing up countless Qing soldiers who were caught off guard and had no time to escape.  The tall and mighty Chaoyangmen city tower collapsed and crumbled, and the soldiers and civilians who defended the city ran for their lives, crying and screaming, and became a mess, and their morale was also greatly frustrated.

    In order to boost morale and suppress the artillery fire of the Fat Man Army, Jie Shu, who was hiding in a blind spot under the city wall, also ordered the Qing army to gather all the artillery on the city wall, aim at the artillery array of the Fat Man Army and fire back.??In this way, the soldiers on both sides of the war did not understand a detail, that is, the fat army's sub-cannons gradually adjusted their firing angles. In addition to suppressing the Qing army artillery and bombarding the Qing army reserve behind the city wall, there were many  Blossoming shells gradually fell on the city wall battlefield where soldiers from both sides were intertwined and mixed, killing more Qing soldiers, suppressing more defenders' bow and arrow musket fire, and also killing and wounding a large number of Fatty Army's own people.

    When arranging the siege tactics in advance, the old Qing traitor Jiexuan was very opposed to this cruel tactic of Lu Fatty, but Lu Fatty told him quietly, "Don't worry, the siege vanguards all surrendered from the Mangou side.  Most of the soldiers who surrendered are full of dog bannermen, so I can fight at ease." Then Jiexuan Laoqing did not object, and when the battle entered a fierce battle, taking advantage of the opportunity of the soldiers on both sides killing their heads, Lao Qing  Jian began to command skilled gunners to bombard the melee battlefield with flowering bullets.

    Of course, the new recruits are not fools, and they will not be foolish as cannon fodder, but after hearing the order to break Beijing and disband military discipline in the inner city of Beijing for seven days, these new recruits who have not received a penny of military pay for more than half a year are also concerned.  Not so much.  In addition, there are some new recruits who really want to serve their lives for the Fat Army, and want to perform well to get high-ranking officials and generous salaries and win the trust of the Fat Army.  The charge was naturally more valiant, so although the Fatty Army suffered heavy casualties, their morale remained good.

    The bloody battle lasted for more than an hour and a half, and more than half of the 5,000 forwards who rushed to the city of Beijing suffered more than half of their casualties.  The second siege team, also with 5,000 people, also carried two siege ladder vehicles, and one of the two ladder vehicles of the Fatty Army had been completely burned, and the other was also burned  At eight o'clock, almost all the infantry of the Fat Man Army who rushed up the city wall were killed by the outnumbered Qing army and failed to snatch the position on the city wall.

    Seeing this scene, the main generals of Fatty's Army were all anxious. Hu Tongchun, An Jiarong, Yao Yi, Li Xiongfei and other fierce generals flocked to Fatty Lu to fight, hoping that Fatty Lu would agree to let them lead the elite charge and break the deadlock as soon as possible.  But the fat man flatly refused, and folded his hands on his chest with a relaxed expression, and said shamelessly, "What are you in a hurry for? All you have are elite soldiers from our team. What are you rushing to do at this time? Sending you to death for nothing?"

    "But my lord, the continuous attack on the city has dealt a great blow to the morale of our army." Li Xiongfei reminded: "Please pay attention, my lord, the morale of our second wave of siege teams is not as high as that of the first wave."

    "Normal, that's how siege warfare is. We must be prepared for heavy casualties and long time-consuming." Fatty Lu looked more relaxed, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there will be a turning point. At the very least, our engineers are already in Beijing.  A hole has been dug under the city, and more than half of our pontoon bridge has been built. When our engineers succeed, the battlefield will turn around."

    Li Xiongfei, Hu Tongchun and other generals were skeptical, so they had to temporarily suppress their nervousness and eagerness, while Fatty Lu looked at the blood-stained battlefield of Beijing City Wall in the distance, and said to himself with great confidence: "Also, I want to help Mangou!"  The people in Beijing guarding the city should probably have a guilty conscience and want to run away, right? A country doesn¡¯t know that there are people, and the people don¡¯t know that there is a country. Regardless of the former Qing Dynasty and the later Qing Dynasty, since the people are treated like assholes, they don¡¯t want to win the sincere support of the assholes.  Support." (To be continued.

 Chapter 406 Attacking Qingdu (Part 2)

    ?

    I don't know where the turning point mentioned by Fatty Lu is, let alone when. When the direct legion of the Fatty Army led by Fatty Lu fell into a stalemate on the Chaoyangmen battlefield, the Yangzhou Legion of the Fatty Army led by Gao Dejie also fell into a stalemate on the Dongzhimen battlefield.  In the quagmire, the world was turned upside down, but there was no hope of breaking the city.

    In all fairness, with Gao Dejie's ability to use troops, if it was a decisive battle in the wild, Gao Dejie's army could strangle the so-called hundreds of thousands of Qing troops in Beijing with one hand, without even frowning.  However, when encountering a strong and well-fortified city like Beijing, Gao Dejie, like Fatty Lu, inevitably felt that he had nowhere to use his strength.

    It's not that the new surrendered soldiers in the Fatty Army don't work hard. In order to make a good impression on the new master, the new surrendered soldiers who helped the Eight Banners to massacre their compatriots 30 years ago attacked the fellow bannermen.  It was the same black as before. The two teams of new flag soldiers who had been deployed in advance on the two battlefields of Chaoyangmen and Dongzhimen both fought to the death with more than half of the casualties.  No less than ten times, they rushed up the four-foot-high Beijing city wall. Even if the backup was cut off on the city wall, not a single new soldier surrendered to the Qing army.  The army caused huge casualties.

    It's not that the weapons of the Fatty Army are not advanced. In terms of explosives alone, the Fatty Army is at least a hundred years ahead of the Qing Army, and it's not that the Fatty Army's siege force is insufficient. The Fatty Army's army of more than 140,000 forms a semicircle to engulf the east city of Beijing.  Surrounded by flags like a sea, swords and guns like a forest, the orderly and strict queues could not be seen at a glance even on the Beijing city wall.  There was heavy snow, and there was a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere.  Even Fatty Lu was the first to command so many troops on the battlefield at the same time.

    The key is that Beijing's city defenses are too strong. The moat is more than ten feet wide, and there are only two bridges less than two feet wide that allow the fat army's siege team to pass through. Although these two bridges are quite strong stone arch bridges,  But the soldiers of the Fat Man Army and the siege weapons of the Fat Man Army walked on this straight and narrow bridge, which was like a live target for the defenders' bows, guns and artillery, so that the defenders didn't even need to aim, they just had to shoot at the bridge  Shooting arrows can basically kill and injure the poor Fatty Army soldiers. The siege battle lasted less than two hours, and the two bridges on the moats of Chaoyangmen and Dongzhimen were already covered with the remains of Fatty Army soldiers.  The Fatty Army had no choice but to send their own hands to push the corpse into the river, opening the way for the follow-up siege ladder vehicles, and also exposed the dark red bridge deck covered with the blood of the Fatty Army soldiers.

    The city walls of Beijing were even more of a nightmare for the siege soldiers of the fat army. Although the height of the east wall of Beijing's inner city that the fat army attacked only ranked third among the heights of the four walls of the inner city of Beijing, it also had an average height of 11.4 meters.  The height of the building, with bows and arrows, bullets, stones, wood and various defensive weapons as dense as hail and raindrops, stepping on wooden ladders to climb up to four floors to kill the enemy and seize the city, the difficulty can be imagined  , if it weren't for the fierce artillery cover of superior artillery, the fat man's army might not even be able to climb the city wall.

    Even with superior artillery cover, it was not much better. Amidst the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the clashing of knives and guns, and the roar of artillery, countless fat soldiers fell from the city wall screaming and bloodied.  Fat soldiers, stumps, and blood continued to scatter all over the sky. The fat army soldiers who were scalded to death by the hot oil and golden juice were torn apart, and the fat army soldiers who were on fire rolled down from the ladder truck.  The smell of blood and burnt human body, the pink moat was filled with corpses, densely packed, more than half of the soldiers of the fat army who attacked the city in the first wave were killed or killed, but none of the soldiers of the fat army could stand firm on the city wall.

    With the determination not to withdraw troops until the Qing Dynasty is broken, the second wave of siege teams embarked on the journey again, stepping on the corpses of their companions and wounded soldiers, charging forward, and rushing through the puddles of blood with arrowheads and bullets as dense as migratory locusts.  Once again, countless ladders were put on the city wall, and two ladder cars also stepped forward one after another. The soldiers of the fat army inside and outside the ladder cars pushed and pulled them down, and quickly approached the city wall of Beijing, calling for their companions to remove the dead body obstacles  The voice is endless.

    The artillery of the Fat Man Army has not been idle either. More than 260 light and heavy artillery pieces have never stopped since the beginning of the battle. Thousands of Fat Man Artillery gunners take turns to load ammunition, clean the barrel, aim and fire, and are responsible for  The old traitor Jie Xuan, who commanded the artillery team to calculate the high shooting, changed his usual reticence, shuttled back and forth in the artillery team, shouting orders to shoot high, and his voice was hoarse.  With great efforts, the artillery of the Fat Man Army effectively suppressed the artillery fire of the Qing Army on the city wall, and also caused huge casualties to the soldiers of the Qing Army defending the city.  Geographical advantages - it can even be said that, if there is no Jiexuan old Qing rape and fat army gunnersIn addition to the accident, he also jumped up excitedly, shouted hello, and then quickly shouted: "Send the order to Jiexuan, send blessings, the artillery will concentrate on bombarding the city walls on both sides of the ladder car, and try our best to prevent the reinforcements from the dogs!"

    "Decree!" The messenger rushed away, and Fatty Lu turned to his nephew An Jiarong next to him, and shouted: "Nephew, it's up to you! Eight hundred soldiers put on their shields and go up!  Take the city wall position and give it to me to defend!"

    "Follow my uncle's order!" An Jiarong, who had been waiting for a long time, said nothing, clasped his fists and agreed, and immediately rushed down to organize the Fatty Army's infantry trump card to attack.

    "Li Xiongfei!" Fatty Lu turned to another favorite general, Li Xiongfei, and said loudly, "General Li, when I left you behind in Jiujiang, you suffered countless hardships because of this king. Today, this king will compensate you and bring your  Four thousand direct troops and two ladder vehicles attack the city! Tell your brother and the brothers in front, no matter who is the first to attack Beijing, you will be named Marquis!"

    "Thank you, my lord! The general will be bold, and the marquis will be snatched!"

    Li Xiongfei was so excited that he cupped his fists and agreed loudly under the envious eyes of the fat generals, and rushed down to organize the team to attack. Fatty Lu sat back on the throne, so excited that the fat on his face began to tremble, knowing that as long as the fat man  If the army can stand firm on the walls of Beijing, it will be easy to break through Beijing.

    "Quick! Quick! Block Lu Gou! Throw torches, pour kerosene, and burn Lu Gou's ladder car! Come on, kill Lu Gou, or the city of Beijing will be in danger!"

    Contrary to Fatty Lu, who was extremely excited, at the same time, Lord Kang was so nervous that his heart almost stopped beating, waving his thumbless hands, desperately urging the soldiers of the Qing army to come forward to kill the enemy and make up for it, at all costs  The price is to drive the soldiers of the Fat Man Army who have rushed up the city wall down the city wall.  However, what made King Kang angry was that although the soldiers of the Qing army who rushed to the front were fighting bloody battles, there were fewer and fewer Beijing soldiers and civilians who went up the city road from behind to help in the battle.  I was also surprised to find out that the soldiers and civilians in Beijing under the city wall had already started to flee. Not only ordinary people who came to help the battle voluntarily or not to carry weapons started to flee, but also some regular soldiers of the Qing army who wore Qing army uniforms also started to flee!

    "Ma Qi! Ma Qi!" Kang Wang yelled the name of his deputy, Ma Qi, with red eyes, and roared hysterically: "Ma Qi, where did you dog slave go?! Pull the people up again to defend the city  Quick! Quickly find Ma Qi, the dog slave!"

    "My lord, Ma Shilang is there." A soldier pointed to a corpse on the city wall, and said timidly: "Just now, a stray arrow thrown by a dog just hit the servant sir"

    Lord Kang was stunned for a moment, then turned to the soldiers around him and roared: "Go down, all of you, and order all the civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty under the city wall to immediately pull the soldiers of the people to the city to help the battle, and dare not go to the city to help the battle  Yes, behead them all!"

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

    Before Lord Kang's soldiers could agree, the shells of the Fat Man's army, as if they had eyes, kept hitting the Beijing city walls on both sides of the ladder car, and exploded into the crowd of the Qing army rushing to reinforce them.  The disgusting mite voice of howling ghosts and wolves quickly echoed violently on the city walls of Beijing.  At the same time, the morale-boosting fat soldiers rushed up the Beijing city wall one after another, stepping on the ladder steps and the corpses of both the enemy and ourselves, and gradually stopped on the city wall.

    "Guiyi soldiers! We must win!"

    "Big Zhou! Must win!"

    The sound of new neat slogans sounded on the battlefield. The 800 soldiers wrapped in white cloth held their shields to protect their vital points, and brandished bright and sharp Miao knives.  Under the leadership of Li Xiongfei, the main fighters followed closely behind with their ladder carts. The two fat army elites, whose combat power was absolutely stronger than the previous siege team, were like the waves of the sea, roaring, roaring, and rushing towards the city gradually.  The shaken city walls of Beijing, the famous Chinese city that has been poisoned by mites to this day.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 407 Attacking Qingdu (Part 2)

    ?

    (ps: It¡¯s the end of the month, ask for the last month¡¯s monthly pass for this book, and the last month¡¯s monthly pass for pre-ordering this book.)

    When Fatty's army's infantry ace Hunji soldiers charged, it was close to the evening You hour, and there was not much time before dark. Seeing that the city had been broken, Fatty Lu asked the auxiliary army to distribute  The torches prepared for the night battle, and gave An Jiarong and Li Xiongfei an additional order. Within an hour, they must seize a city wall position of sufficient width, so that the follow-up troops can go to the city in an endless stream, so that they can join the new force reserve team after dark.  Completely break the stalemate of the entire battlefield.

    The order was conveyed, and the Huan soldiers who rushed to the front charged faster, holding their shields to protect the vital points of the head, face, chest and abdomen, and rushed to the Beijing city wall at the speed of flying like a sharp arrow.  When they arrived at the moat, they stepped on the pontoon bridge and began to cross the river. The archers and musketeers of the Qing army on the city wall hurriedly shot and fired arrows, but they were shocked to find that these fat soldiers with white cloths on their heads were not only dressed differently from ordinary fat soldiers, but also moved even more.  Frighteningly fast, while waving a shield to block incoming arrows, while stepping on the uneven, undulating pontoon bridge like flying, nimble and quick like a monkey in the mountain, he rushed across the pontoon bridge in the blink of an eye, and the speed of crossing the bridge was faster than that of ordinary fat soldiers.  More than twice as fast.

    "The Huanbing soldiers! It's Lugou's Huanbing soldiers!" A few veterans of the Qing army who had fled from the Yangtze River battlefield screamed in despair.  Lu Gou¡¯s soldiers! They are Lu Gou¡¯s number one infantry fighters, so don¡¯t let them get close! They are all lunatics on the battlefield! They are all lunatics who don¡¯t want to die!¡±

    The veterans reminded that countless Qing army archers and musketeers hurriedly shot and fired arrows, shooting concentratedly at the soldiers of the Qing army, but the soldiers of the Qing army used practical actions to teach these Qing soldiers who had not fought many battles while hiding in the capital.  In the battlefield practice class, the small shield in the hand always protects the vital points, runs like flying under the feet, walks on the ground like walking on the battlefield full of corpses and sundries, and can skillfully cooperate while running fast. A group of three holds up the shield  Bows and arrows fired from three directions except the rear. Although the Qing army's bows and arrows were fierce, they still couldn't stop these white-headed demons.

    At the same time, the archers and musketeers of the fat army hiding behind the small fortifications also stepped up their cover for the Huanzi soldiers. The bows, arrows and muskets focused on shooting the Qing soldiers above the Huanzi soldiers, and the fat men who were deposited in front of the Huanzi soldiers.  The soldiers of the army also consciously made way for the most reliable companions in hard battles to charge forward, clearing the way for all the fat soldiers.

    It took less than half a cup of tea to cross the moat, and An Jiarong, the chief general of the Yiyu army, was the first to step on the ladder cart, stepping on the steps already filled with the corpses of soldiers from the own army, and rushed up like flying  At the top of the city wall, as soon as one foot stepped on the city wall, the shield in An Jiarong's left hand was thrown out horizontally, and the iron-clad shield flew out, hitting a long door of a Qing army post straight, and there were also the sound of heavy objects colliding and bones breaking.  The face of the unlucky Qing army whistle chief sounded, the Qing army whistle chief didn't even see what hit him, and fell on his back to the city wall with his face covered in blood, clutching his shattered cheekbones all over the ground  Rolling and howling like a dying wild dog.

    Before the fat soldiers next to him applauded, the light of the sword flashed in the setting sun, and a gleaming and bright Japanese sword appeared in An Jiarong's hands. Accompanied by An Jiarong's body, he rushed into the place where the Qing army was densest.  The knife light flashed again, and the heads of two Qing soldiers flew into the air, and the blood in their necks spurted more than a foot high. The surrounding Qing soldiers were almost stunned, but An Jiarong was merciless  , with a smirk on his face, he slashed out again, chopping down another Qing soldier in front of him with his head and shoulders, and then violently retracted his hands holding the knife.  The Qing army soldier smashed the bridge of his nose, and blood spurted out of his eyes.  It was also at this time that the bodies of the three Qing soldiers whose heads had been chopped off by An Jiarong fell slowly.

    "Ghost! Ghost!" Seeing An Jiarong's bravery and killing five enemies in a blink of an eye, all the soldiers of the Qing army next to him were so frightened that their legs trembled, and they couldn't help screaming and retreating.  However, the nightmare of the soldiers of the Qing army has just begun. Amidst the slogans of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is already very proficient in Chinese, the demon soldiers wrapped in white cloth jumped up the city wall like flying, threw away the useless shields and rushed towards the soldiers of the Qing army.  , and turned around to pick the place where the soldiers of the Qing army were most densely packed, and the bright sword light was flying up and down like auspicious snow. The screams and screams of the Qing soldiers, and the excited howls of the soldiers of the Qing army, also echoed on the Beijing city wall.  reverberated.

    ? In fact, for the Fatty Army, the biggest difficulty in breaking through Beijing was not the melee combat. Regardless of the melee street fighting, the Beijing defenders assembled by Jie Shu were no match for the Fatty Army at all.  For the Fatty Army, the biggest difficulty in conquering Beijing is how to put its troops on the battlefield at the top of the city wall. Basically, it only needs to send an elite soldier of the Fatty Army to Beijing.?But at the edge of the moat bridge, they were blocked by the fat army.  A fight!" Countless butchers who disguised themselves as Han people fleeing the city were pushed out of the crowd and presented to the Fat Army, who then beheaded them on the spot, and the moat was almost filled with floating corpses.

    The time of ugliness was about to pass, and there were less than ten people around Jie Shu. Seeing the fat soldiers approaching step by step, Jie Shu, who was covered in blood all over his body, stabbed his neck in despair.  Lord Zhou Lu, God has the virtue of loving life, please don¡¯t kill him, we bannermen can surrender to Da Zhou!¡±

    After saying that, Jie Shu committed suicide by slaying himself. When his dying words were brought to Fatty Lu, Fatty Lu snorted loudly, "Now I think that God has the virtue of good life? Why didn't you kill our compatriots of all ethnic groups in China?"  Thinking that God has the virtue of good life? The order to send an order to the whole army, Beijing mite city will not be left behind, will never be changed! Anyone who deliberately allows the enemy to flee for his life, no matter who it is, will be killed! Let me eradicate the mite poison in Beijing city,  Don¡¯t stay at all!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 408: An Eye For An Eye

    ?

    (ps: Ask for the monthly pass and tip for the last month of this book, it will not be extended, and the book must be finished within the month.)

    Like a dead dog with a broken spine, Yuan Erhan was crawling in the bloody gutter, surrounded by mutilated corpses. The weather was so hot that the corpses had already started to stink, an indescribable stench, an unbearable stench  Green flies the size of a finger fluttered excitedly over the pile of corpses, continuously landing on the pile of corpses to enjoy the food greedily, and many flies landed on Yuan Erhan's bleeding cheek to stare and bite, itching and hurting.

    Yuan Erhan didn't dare to blast the flies, let alone crawl out from the pile of rotting corpses to find a clean place to rest, because Yuan Erhan saw a group of white-capped soldiers carrying swords, guns and spears, and carrying large and small bags,  They were talking and laughing as they walked over from the other side of the street. The laughter after the harvest could be clearly heard even dozens of steps away. The experienced Yuan Erhan could still distinguish the accent of these laughter.  At least a few of the white hat soldiers came from the damned Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. If they found Yuan Erhan, Yuan Erhan would not be able to survive.

    Yuan Erhan moved his body quietly, hiding more of his body in the pile of corpses, and then quietly pulled a dead man's thigh, and pressed the maggot-ridden thigh against his face, leaving only one eye to quietly observe the white corpse.  The movement of the hat soldier, trying to disguise himself as a dead body.  This is the experience Yuan Erhan learned on the battlefield in Huai'an. If Yuan Erhan hadn't learned this skill from the Zhengbai Banner veteran, he would have died in the south of the Yellow River long ago.

    The white-capped soldiers walked over talking and laughing. Several white-capped soldiers with spears kept stabbing at the piles of corpses on the side of the road while walking, looking for the fish that slipped through the net. Yuan Erhan's heart  He also jumped violently, closed his eyes quietly, and secretly prayed that these damned white hat soldiers who dared to commit crimes would not poke him, and rolled as far away as possible.

    The ugly Yungui accent approached, a spear brushed Yuan Erhan's waist and stabbed into a corpse, pulled out and stabbed the spear again, this time it hit Yuan Erhan's thigh, Yuan Erhan gritted his teeth and dared not move, tried his best  Let yourself become a dead body, in fact Yuan Erhan looks like a dead body now, his face is covered with blood and mud, his clothes and braids are covered with minced meat, and the smell is disgusting, as long as  If Yuan Erhan didn't move, no one would know that he was still alive.

    Fortunately, the white hat soldier didn't realize that he had stabbed a living person, and he poked all the way away, and Yuan Erhan escaped from the clutches of these white demons for the third time.  The first time was on the night when the city of Beijing was captured by the white-capped soldiers, Yuan Erhan, who fled from the Chaoyangmen battlefield into the inner city, was about to escape from the inner city through Chongwenmen, but Yuan Erhan went one step too late, and the white-capped soldiers had already sealed off the inner city.  All the city gates leading to the outer city, if Yuan Erhan in military uniform hadn't run fast, he would have been hacked to pieces by the wolf-like white hat soldiers like his two companions.  The second time was the second day after the city was broken. Yuan Erhan hid behind the broken wall on the side of the road. A large group of white-capped soldiers rushed past the broken wall without searching carefully. Yuan Erhan lost his life again.

    The sun is gradually rising, the weather is getting hotter, and the pile of corpses is getting more and more smelly. The stomachs of several corpses around Yuan Erhan have already begun to swell. Yuan Erhan, who was born in a military family, knows that the stomachs of these corpses are about to explode.  If these corpses stayed together, even if they could escape from this ghost city, they would have to be infected with deadly corpse poison.  In addition, Yuan Erhan has not had any water or rice since dawn, his stomach is already so hungry that his chest is stuck to his back, and his throat is so thirsty that he is about to smoke, so Yuan Erhan decided to take a risk to leave this road, which has been searched and robbed several times by the white hat soldiers.  to find something to eat and drink, and a safer hiding place.

    Slowly sitting up from the pile of corpses, Yuan Erhan repeatedly confirmed that there was no living person nearby except for the corpses, and then climbed to his feet with difficulty, dragged his bruised body, and limped towards the end of the street.  It was full of dead bodies, viscera, flesh and blood, as well as blackened blood and smelly brains. Stepping on it slipped three times, and Yuan Erhan, who was injured on his leg, almost fell several times.

    Fortunately, he got into a remote alley. Yuan Erhan saw a vaguely familiar corpse in the alley. Looking at the court shoes on his feet, he seemed to be an official. Yuan Erhan entered the customs with his father in the thirteenth year of Kangxi  At that time, thanks to the blessing of his special family background, Yuan Erhan lived with his father in the whole city of Beijing for a period of time, and met many high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty, and this official of the Qing Dynasty seemed to be among them.

    Carefully recalling the past, Yuan Erhan quickly remembered that this corpse was indeed an official of the Qing Dynasty, and he was an errand in the House of Internal Affairs. Like Yuan Erhan, he was born in the Zhengbai Banner of the Three Banners of the Qing Dynasty.  It¡¯s just that the Han dog is long and the Han dog is short, always complaining that the Han dog should not rebel, which caused the Changchun Garden of Emperor Kangxi to stop working, and repeatedly asked Yuan Erhan¡¯s father to kill all the rebellious Han dogs as soon as possible.  Re-open the water transport, otherwise, the flags of the whole world will?Where is he?  "

    "My lord, the slave's father has already died in Huai'an." Yuan Erhan kowtowed and replied: "At that time, Emperor Kangxi of the Manchus led the Mangou army to a decisive battle with the lord's army.  They were shot to death with muskets, and their bodies were trampled into meat paste by the rebels."

    "Already dead?" Fatty Lu was disappointed, but Fatty Lu soon became excited again, rubbing his fat hands and laughing: "It's okay, I still have a son after I die, this king can still fulfill my old friend's entrustment, and treat you well."  Little General."

    "The slave dares to ask the lord, that old friend of the lord, entrust the lord to treat the slave well?"

    Yuan Erhan was a little pleasantly surprised, and hope was rekindled in his chest. He seemed to see a high-ranking official, a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine, and a thousand hectares of fertile land.  Get wet immediately.  Fatty Lu gave him a sympathetic look, and said with pity: "I heard that the yang energy of the Meridian Gate is the strongest, and those who die there will be driven out of their wits by the yang energy, and they can't even do ghosts. Therefore, since ancient times, the emperor usually  I like to kill people at the Meridian Gate, and this king also wants to learn¡ªsomeone, push this benefactor of the Qing Dynasty, General Yuan Xiao, out of the Meridian Gate, and execute him Ling Chi!¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 409 Fatty dominates the capital

    ?

    Fatty Lu moved into the Forbidden City on the ninth day of the seventh lunar month. Although the palaces in the Forbidden City have not been completely cleared of dangers, Fatty Lu can only live in the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony¡ªthat is, Fatty Lu and Fatty Lu.  The square where Xie Dong made a bad relationship, but Fatty Lu still took the time to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which is the Golden Luan Hall representing the highest imperial power, to vent his joy and excitement of regaining the treasure of China, the Forbidden City, for his compatriots.

    It was also said that it was the first time for Fatty Lu to enter the Golden Luan Palace, and he had no time to study in the 21st century. In this era, the last time Fatty Lu entered the Forbidden City was a seventh-rank sesame official, even if he participated in the ceremony of opening the pen and seal  Kneeling in the square outside the gate of the Golden Luan Hall, he is not qualified to step into the Golden Luan Hall - but only Kang Mazi's absolute confidants and confidantes are eligible to enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Fatty Lu has entered it several times by accident.  This time, Fatty Lu revisited his old place as a victor, naturally he wanted to take a good look at what kind of virtue the Golden Luan Hall is, and he even wanted to stand in front of that chair and think carefully about whether he should sit on it?

    It's not all joy, at least as soon as he walked to the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Fatty Lu was extremely upset by a sight, as disgusting as eating flies-on the plaque at the main gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there was a crooked line like a dog crawling to death  The snake-like mite characters are still ranked before the square Chinese characters!  Fatty Lu also immediately ordered, pointing to the plaque and shouting: "Come on, go up for me, and smash the words full of dogs! This is the place for us Chinese, and we can't let the disgusting words of dogs get dirty!"  "

    "Decree!" Brothers Liu Zhen and Liu Xu clasped their fists in agreement, jumped up to the eaves together, pulled out the waist knife and turned the handle of the knife, and slammed the disgusting mites on the plaque.  The text was smashed to pieces.  Fatty Lu was still not relieved, and turned to the civil and military behind him and shouted: "The order is passed on, there is no one word "mite" left in the Forbidden City, all smashed and dug up!"

    "I would like to abide by the order of the prince!" Fatty's army, civil and military, agreed in unison, and quickly arranged for the sergeants to send orders to all the troops to destroy all the disgusting mites in the Forbidden City.  The fatty Cao Yuanwai (equivalent to the Minister of Rites) Huang Yanbo who accompanied the army saluted again and said: "My lord, I believe that the traces of the barbarians in the Forbidden City should be completely removed, and the books and documents of the barbarians should also be removed.  Destroy together, abolish the court etiquette, customs, clothing and accessories left by the Qing barbarians, and re-establish a set of our own court rules."

    "That's right, all of these should be abolished." Fatty Lu nodded with satisfaction, and ordered: "Father-in-law, you are a member of the Li Cao, so I will leave these to you. Organize the Han officials of the Ministry of Rites who surrendered, and reorganize them."  Formulate a set of etiquette and rules for our Great Zhou. As for the books and documents left by Mangou, they are translated into Chinese characters and archived and then destroyed. The same is true for Mangou books in private collections.  Whoever hides and spreads books full of dog characters will be punished by the whole family for the crime of conspiracy!"

    "Follow the order of the prince." Huang Yanbo respectfully agreed, and happily took over the task of eradicating the mite poisonous culture completely.

    "One more thing." Fatty Lu remembered something again, and shouted: "Whether it is in the government or in the folks, it is not allowed to call Man Han according to Man dog customs, such as Man Han Banquet, Man Han Harmony, Man Han Conflict, etc., that is.  Man Gou deliberately humiliates us Han people, put Man Gou in front, and let people stand behind the dog! The word Han must be placed at the front, and anyone who dares to put Man in front of the Chinese character will be punished severely according to the severity of the case  If the circumstances are particularly bad, they can be sentenced to death! On this point, Master Zhu, you and the people who lead the criminal Cao will cooperate with Huang Yuanwai to formulate a detailed criminal law as soon as possible and issue it to the world."

    "Follow Jun's decree." Huang Yanbo and Zhu Fangdan agreed together, secretly admiring Fatty Lu's hatred for the Qing court¡ªhe really hated it to the bone.  However, Fatty Lu was not satisfied, and he specifically gave an order to change the word "Man" related to the Qing Dynasty into the word "mite" in the official documents of Dazhou, in order to retaliate against the destruction of Chinese culture by the Qing court. Huang Yanbo  After agreeing again with Zhu Fangdan and the others, Fatty Lu nodded with satisfaction, and led a large group of civil and military lackeys into the hall swaggeringly.

    The Golden Luan Palace, which was built with the blood and sweat of countless Chinese, is naturally extremely splendid. It really opened the eyes of Fatty Lu and the bumpkins of the Fatty Army. The voices of admiration also came one after another in the Golden Palace, deliberately flattering Fatty Lu.  The scolding here continued to echo, but when Fatty Lu walked to the dragon chair in the middle of the Golden Luan Hall, the Golden Luan Hall suddenly fell silent again, and every running dog of the Fatty Army held their breath and waited patiently for Fatty Lu's next step.  With one move, I just want to see if Fatty Lu will sit on this dragon chair?

    "My lord, we can't sit on it yet. We still have the biggest and strongest enemy, the Honghua court. If we sit on it at this time, the advantage of holding a will to order the princes will be lost." Some of them are clear-headed.In Guihua City, Shang Zhixin's team also took Huizhou and Jiaying back. Liu Jinzhong, the general soldier of Chaozhou who hated Zheng Jing's sabotage of the anti-Qing alliance, took the opportunity to play the banner of the Fat Man Army, and joined forces with Shang Zhixin's army to expel Zheng Jing's team.  Declaring Chaozhou Prefecture as an enclave of the Fat Man Army, Shang Zhixin did not dare to attack Liu Jinzhong, and sent an envoy to Nanjing to request to negotiate the ownership of Chaozhou. Zheng Jing retreated steadily on the north and south battlefields.  It should be able to support it for a while, and the Fat Army on the southern front, which is in a favorable position to watch the fire from the other side, should be as stable as Mount Tai in a short period of time.

    On the southwest battlefield, the Pianyuan Wu clan whose Jiqishan firearms battalion was destroyed was already somewhat unable to withstand the two sides of the brother-in-law Xia Guoxiang and Guo Zhuangtu.  The Zhuangtu army went out of Chenlong Pass and joined forces with Xia Guoxiang's army.  But fortunately, the Wu clan still has a certain advantage on the border battlefield between Sichuan and Yunnan, so the Wu clan and the Honghua army are basically still in a stalemate, and no one can do anything to the other in a short time.  At the same time, Wu Guogui sent envoys to ask for help from the Fatty Army. Wang Shaobo only expressed some verbal support to Wu Guogui on the pretext that the Fatty Army was mainly engaged in the Northern Expedition and that the Yangtze River channel was blocked by Xia Guoxiang's Lin Xingzhu Navy.

    The situation of the other main Wu armies is as follows. Without Wu Shicong, the Guangdong and Guangxi Wu armies have fallen into civil strife. Some of the Wu armies fell to Guo Zhuangtu under the leadership of Dong Zhongmin, and some of them rose up under the leadership of Wu's traitorous cousin Zu Zeqing.  Responding to the Wu clan, the two factions fought upside down, and were tightly restrained by each other.  On the Shaanxi-Gansu battlefield, Wang Fuchen and Wang Pingfan seem to have reached a secret agreement. Wang Fuchen tried his best to kill the two remnants of the Qing army, Zhang Yong and Zhao Liangdong, while Wang Pingfan went all out to attack Tongguan, and at the same time used the Hanzhong granary to support the Wu clan.  The two families did not invade each other, and they assumed a righteous attitude of suspending internal strife and destroying the Qing army first.

    The only thing that alerted Fatty Lu was the attitude of Generalissimo Ma and Baobai. Although he accepted the position of Generalissimo Ma of the World Army conferred by the Honghua court, General Ma refused to send troops to help Xia Guoxiang kill the Wu clan, and he did not help  The Wu family's attack on Xia Guoxiang will not be offended. All they want to do is to develop into Jiangxi, Henan and Anhui and other blank areas. Taking advantage of the opportunity of each faction being restrained by each other, they are desperately expanding their territory and strengthening the army. At the same time, they try not to restrain themselves  Provoking the fat army seems to be planning to separate one side, or to use the territory and the army as bargaining chips, waiting for a price.  ¡ª¡ªOf course, if the time is right, the possibility of General Ma stabbing Fatty Jun from behind cannot be ruled out.

    Having basically understood the situation in the major battlefields in the south, Fatty Lu also made up his mind and quickly decided to send troops to attack Shanhaiguan.  plot the whole world.

    At this point in his calculations, Fatty Lu slapped the table, pointed at Gao Dejie and said, "Brother Dajie, Shanhaiguan is counting on you. Bring 30,000 troops to reinforce Gao Qi, and personally command the attack on Shanhaiguan.  Ammunition, you must take Shanhaiguan down for me, and take the strategic initiative in the Northeast battlefield before riding full of dogs. Don¡¯t be afraid of getting tired. After taking down Shanhaiguan, our main force can take a breather.¡±

    "Why are you tired?" Gao Dejie smiled and said, "My lord underestimated the last general. The last general's team fought all the way from Jiangnan to Beijing, and only fought three tough battles in Guide, Baoding and the capital.  What are you tired of? Please don¡¯t worry, my lord, within a month, Mo will keep the Shanhai Pass back for you.¡±

    "Then please." Fatty Lu nodded, then turned to Yao Qisheng and ordered: "Junior Yao, draw up an order for Han Daren to order his main force to divide into two groups, capture Luoyang along the way, and then station in Luoyang and the Marquis of Huaiqing."  He personally led the other route, went north to capture Taiyuan City, and joined forces with the main force led by the king at Taihang Mountain. Also, tell him that we can expand the army and try to take the whole of Shanxi, but food and grass can only be relied on.  He feeds war with war, recruiting on the spot."

    "According to Jun's decree, the grain production in Shanxi is better than that of Shandong in Zhili. General Han Daren uses war to support war, so it should not be a big problem." Yao Qisheng nodded, and suggested: "My lord, should we also be in Zhili and Shandong?  Expand the army? These two provinces are suffering from severe famine and it is easier to recruit troops, and the soldiers are stronger than those in the south. The officer suggested that we should recruit 100,000 new recruits in Shandong Zhili for training, so that the future national war will not be overstretched.¡±

    "Where is 100,000 enough?" Fatty Lu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "At least 150,000 recruits are needed. It's already August, and the autumn harvest in Jiangnan this year has already begun. We are afraid that we will have no money or food to support recruits."  What¡¯s more, the recruits recruited in Shandong can be sent to the western front battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River immediately. The supply of food and grass is easier, they can be trained in actual combat, and they can also prevent General Ma from having bad intentions.¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 410 Bandit Logic

    ?

    ?As the leader of the four generals of the Fatty Army conquering the southeast, northwest, and north, Gao Dejie's record after the Fatty Army captured Jiangnan was actually not very dazzling, and even faintly overwhelmed by Han Daren and Wang Xu.

    But Gao Dejie can't be blamed, it's all a matter of luck. Out of strategic needs, Fatty Lu has never allowed Gao Dejie to drive away the Qing army on the northern front, tied Gao Dejie's hands and feet, Gao Dejie's Jiangnan battlefield  Of course, his physical performance is not as good as Han Daren and Wang Xu who are attacking cities and territories everywhere.  The decisive battle in Huai'an was due to tactical needs. Gao Dejie's team temporarily withdrew from the battlefield, and the limelight was robbed by the fat army infantry led by Wang Xu.  In the Battle of Guide, because of the distance between the roads, Gao Dejie's team arrived at the battlefield late, and the first victory was robbed by the deadly enemy Han Daren.  In the battle of Beijing, although Gao Dejie's partial division entered the inner city of Beijing earlier than the main force, but because he encountered Yu Chenglong's smelly and hard old coffin nail in Baoding, he arrived at the Beijing battlefield five days later than the main force.  The record naturally cast a shadow again.

    But that's the end of it. When Fatty Lu handed Gao Dejie the task of attacking Shanhaiguan and seizing the strategic initiative on the Liaodong battlefield, Gao Dejie, whose brilliance had been concealed by his companions, finally showed his brilliance as the number one general of the Fatty Army.  On the eighth day of the lunar month, he led his army from Beijing and rushed to Shanhaiguan with a large number of heavy artillery. It took only ten days to walk 700 miles.  After joining forces with his right-hand assistant Gao Qi in Shenhebao, Gao Dejie immediately formulated a battle plan, ordering Gao Qi to lead the main force and all the artillery to attack Shanhaiguan Pass, while Gao Dejie himself led 6,000 cavalry and an elite infantry,  Use the cover of night to attack a stone pass.

    Just as Gao Dejie expected, seeing that the main force of the Fatty Army was attacking the Shanhaiguan Pass, and they also gathered more than a hundred heavy artillery pieces outside the Shanhaiguan Pass.  A very important stone pass, but only more than 2,000 people are left to stand firm.  But when the battle was completely dark, Gao Dejie suddenly dispatched engineers to dig out two large holes in the wall of the Great Wall, which had been in disrepair for a long time.  After passing this secondary pass, all the defenders of Shiguan were wiped out.

    Immediately afterwards, Gao Dejie, who was originally born in Shanhaiguan, did not follow the Great Wall to seize the beacon towers one by one. Instead, he chose to lead 6,000 cavalry to ambush at Balipu, north of Shanhaiguan. The infantry outflanked the north gate of Shanhaiguan.  The main force led by Gao Qi surrounded the Shanhaiguan Pass City from north to south.  Fearing that the Shanhaiguan Qing army would be completely annihilated by the Fatty Army, Gao Qi took the opportunity to lead the main force of the Fatty Army to launch a fierce attack. Gao Dejie took advantage of the opportunity that the Qing army defenders had no time to block the north gate of Shanhaiguan, and let the infantry blow open the north gate with explosives.  , took advantage of the momentum to enter Guanzhong, followed Gao Qi's team into Guancheng, the morale of the Qing army collapsed, abandoned Shanhaiguan and fled northward, but plunged into the encirclement circle set up by Gao Dejie in Balipu.  More than 13,000 Qing troops were annihilated, and Boguoduo died tragically in the rebellion. The No. 1 pass in the world, which once made Old Han Wu notorious all over the world, was finally taken by Gao Dejie, the old lackey of Old Han Wu.  return.

    After taking back Shanhaiguan, the initiative on the Liaodong battlefield also fell into the hands of the Fatty Army. Gao Dejie led the army to the north without stopping, and opened the gate with explosives, blasting open the gate of Ningyuan City that was too late to block, and wiped out the Qing army in Ningyuan again  , the last Qing army stationed on Juehua Island, the Fu Lata Department sent troops to rescue, but was defeated by Gao Dejie, but Fu Lata had no choice but to abandon Juehua Island, which was short of food and helpless, and fled to the mouth of Xiaoling River.  , Participated in the famous city of Ningyuan, which dragged down the finances of the former Ming Dynasty, and finally returned to the hands of the Fatty Army, becoming the bridgehead of the Fatty Army's offensive on the Liaodong battlefield.

    Because the navy of the Fatty Army is still in the southern battlefield and has not yet gone north, and there is a serious lack of surface power on the Liaodong battlefield. In addition, the expansion is too fast, and the logistical burden has reached a critical point.  He named Gao Dejie the governor of Liaodong, and ordered Gao Dejie to lead the army to guard Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan City, first to defend the safety of Gyeonggi and Zhili, and wait for the fat man's army to move north  Division built, and then plot to capture the entire Liaodong, completely drive the Qing court back to Tunguska's hometown.

    Fatty Lu really doesn¡¯t need to be in a hurry, and he can¡¯t eat hot tofu even if he is impatient. It took eighteen years for the Qing court to enter the customs, from Shanhaiguan to Yunnan to unify the entire mainland;  The Northeast has completely unified the world and has become an old man in his sixties.  In the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi, Fatty Lu got rid of the control of the old traitor Wu and dominated the south of the Yangtze River. It took more than two years to win one-third of the world.  The era is already considered a very rare miracle, and if you want to speed up, the productivity, technological strength and road traffic conditions of this era will not allow it.

    Fortunately, Fatty Lu is only a little over thirty-four years old now, and he has always been in good health. He rarely even has a cold or fever.?General Han Daren is still attacking and recovering the northern part of Shanxi. It is really inappropriate to go to the battlefield again, let alone start a war with the nominal allies for the sake of territory.  "

    "That's right, my lord, I also feel that it is inappropriate to go to war immediately." Zhu Fangdan also echoed: "The north is initially settled, and a thousand wastes are waiting to be rebuilt. There are still remnants of dogs in the northeast, and the army is also very tired. It is best not to start a new war at this time."  On the battlefield, money and food should be invested in the newly occupied land in the north, and it will not be too late to calmly move south and west after we have established a firm foothold in Shaanxi, Gansu, Shandong, and Shanxi."

    "One more thing." Yao Qisheng added: "Compared to other old men in the Pingxi Palace, General Ma Bao should be regarded as an important general in the Pingxi Palace who is hopeful to win over.  He might be pushed to the side of Guo Zhuangtu and Xia Guoxiang. Now that General Hu Guozhu has been detained by Guo Zhuangtu, the forces of the Honghua court and the Wu clan are roughly equal, and the neutral General Ma Bao is forced to Honghua.  On the side of the Hua court, the Wu clan may not be able to last long and won't buy us much time."

    After being persuaded by Yao Qisheng and Zhu Fangdan, Fatty Lu finally calmed down and began to consider the adverse consequences of falling out with the veteran Wu Jun at this time.  It makes sense, but if this matter is not handled properly, with Ma Bao's personality, it is likely that he will gain ground and make more territorial claims. If he is allowed to fight to the border between Jiangxi and Fujian, Geng Jingzhong  , Zheng Jing and my wolf-hearted brother-in-law, maybe he will wear a pair of pants and join forces to deal with us."

    "Regarding this point, I have an idea to get the best of both worlds." Yao Qisheng said with a smile: "My lord only needs to take two moves to avoid a war with General Ma Bao, but also allow General Ma Bao to see the danger and stop his expansion.  , to curb his inflated ambitions."

    "What's the strategist's trick? Come on, please tell me." Fatty Lu was also dog-faced, turning over as soon as he said it, and asked overjoyed: "Which two moves should the king make?"

    "The first step is to send reinforcements to Fengyang Mansion." Yao Qisheng raised a finger, "It can not only ensure the safety of Fengyang's grain production area, but also warn Ma Bao in a disguised form. If he dares to attack Fengyang, our  The reinforcements are welcome!"

    "This king has this intention, so what about the second step?" Fatty Lu asked again.

    "In the second step, Ma Bao will go eastward and take the initiative to border us, and we will go west and also take the initiative to border him." Yao Qisheng raised his second finger and said with a smirk: "Ma Bao is fighting in Yingzhou, which does not have much oil and water.  , to test our tolerance limit, we will respond to him with the lucrative Anqing Mansion! Anqing City is tightly choked by the throat of the Yangtze River, and if Anqing is captured, our navy can go upstream at any time and go straight to Ma Bao's lair  Jiujiang City, the base camp, can attack and harass his largest grain-producing area, Nanchang Mansion, at any time! These two places are in an emergency, and I see if he still has the guts to expand aggressively!"

    "Brilliant plan!" Fatty Lu snapped his fingers, and said with an even more ferocious smile: "To beat Anqing's mansion is to beat all dogs, and morality means that we are invulnerable, and we can turn Anqing into a dagger, threatening the heart of old Ma Bao at any time.  Let me see if he still has the guts to compete with Lao Tzu for territory!"

    "The city of Anqing is strong and the terrain is dangerous. I'm afraid it won't be easy to fight." Zhu Fangdan reminded: "I believe that when our army marches westward to Anqing, we should focus on recruiting and try to recruit Anqing."

    "We should do our best to appease the governor of Anhui Province, Jin Fu, who is good at controlling rivers. If he can serve the king, it would be great." Fatty Lu nodded, and quickly ordered: "Immediately draw up an order to make Yao Yi the governor of Anhui Province.  Let him lead 20,000 newly formed troops to Fengyang to sit in town, stop the transfer of grain in Fengyang to the north, and leave your son, Junshi Yao, as army rations."

    "Thank you for your kindness on behalf of the dog." Yao Qisheng was overjoyed, and quickly saluted Fatty Lu to thank him, and then asked: "My lord, what about the people who attacked Anqing? Do you want to send a general from Beijing to the south to preside over the war in Anqing?"

    "No need, just send Li Mao, who stayed in Taiping Mansion, and let Li Jiyang lead the Zhenjiang navy to assist in the expedition." Fatty Lu waved his hand, rejecting the suggestion to send a general from Beijing to the south, and said: "It's also time to train some newcomers to be independent.  Yes, I told Li Maozhu in the Jun decree that I played well in the Anqing battlefield, and I will entrust him with more important missions in the future. Also, for Anhui governor Jin Fu, I can recruit as much as possible, and I can promise to Jin Fu  The position of Dazhou Gongcao Yuanwai and Anhui Chief Envoy." (To be continued.

 Chapter 411 Anti-Fat Alliance

    ?

    ? Before attacking Anqing Mansion, the capital of Anhui Province, the Fat Man Army regained another important town, Wenzhou Mansion in the southeastern tip of Zhejiang Province, but it was not restored by force, but peacefully liberated through negotiations.

    Presumably friends still remember that in order to appease Geng Jingzhong and Geng Geng, and drive Geng Geng back to Fujian to fight a civil war with Zheng Jing, when Fatty Army was negotiating with Geng Geng, he offered to lend Wenzhou to Geng Geng as a way to recover Fujian.  The logistics base will be returned to the Fatty Army after Prince Geng takes back half of the land in Fujian.  Although Prince Geng's main force can't even defeat Li Tianzhi's army, the weakest of the four major armies of the Fat Man Army, the main force who bullied Prince Zheng on land is handy. It took only half a year after returning to Fujian to torture Zheng Jing so much that he couldn't find the north.  , took back the two important towns of Shaowu and Yanping very easily, and also restored part of the county town of Tingzhou.

    No one can stop people's luck, but at this moment, Prince Geng's uncle, Geng Jimei, led some troops into the Xinghua Mansion. He originally wanted to contain the main force of Zheng's army, but he never wanted to catch up with the civil strife of Zheng's army.  Suspicious of his deputy, Zhao Desheng, the first batch of Haicheng generals who raised troops against the Qing in Fujian, suspected that Zhao Desheng had secretly taken refuge in Geng Jingzhong, Zhao Desheng swore to God, He You refused to believe anything, Zhao Desheng was extremely sad and indignant  His subordinates led a small number of relatives out of the city to meet them. They were outnumbered and surrounded by Geng's army. He You suspected that Zhao Desheng deliberately lured his main force out of the city and stepped into a trap.  Geng Jimei sent troops to attack the city, and the Fujian Jiangjun in Xinghua's Zheng army had mutinied angrily, killed He You's lineage, and opened the city gate to welcome Geng Jimei into the city.  (The fact that anti-Qing righteous Zhao Desheng was forced to death by Zheng Jun is not a fiction, but a historical fact.)

    The Xinghua Mansion was taken by Lord Geng, and half of Fujian was returned to Lord Geng. Naturally, Fatty Lu and the old running dog Li Tianzhi, who was careful and careful, had to send envoys to contact him, and asked Lord Geng to abide by the peace agreement and return Wenzhou.  I am reluctant to give away Wenzhou to others.  But after thinking about it again and again, Prince Geng, whose situation had just improved, still didn't have the guts to go to war with the Fatty Army again, so he had to hand over Wenzhou Mansion to the Fatty Army in late August of the first year of Honghua, in exchange for the last batch promised by the Fatty Army.  Forage weapons.

    It is considered smart for Prince Geng to take the initiative to hand over the Wenzhou Mansion. He knew that at this time, he must not provoke the fat army with strong troops and horses, because once Prince Geng breaks his promise, he will not only be in a miserable situation of being flanked by the fat army and Zheng army, but his ambition  The exuberant Shang Zhixin, Lord Shang, will definitely get involved and join hands with his good brother-in-law to carve up Fujian. The smartest and most correct choice for Lord Geng is to obediently abide by his promise and hand over Wenzhou.

    Prince Geng was not happy to give a piece of hard-won land to the Fatty Army for no reason. At the same time, because of the news that Fatty Lu had captured Beijing and moved into the Forbidden City to work, Prince Geng was inevitably alert and anxious.  Fear, knowing that the seventh-rank Zhima official who went to Wanghai Tower to beg for himself back then may have the ambition to become emperor, and he may attack him sooner or later.  It may be that they went directly to Fujian.

    People are falling everywhere in the world, and Prince Geng soon found a poor man with the same disease as him¡ª¡ªLiu Jinzhong, the general soldier of Chaozhou, hated Zheng Jing for destroying the anti-Qing alliance.  He voluntarily accepted the command of Fatty Army, and dedicated Chaozhou, which belonged to Prince Shang, to Fatty Lu. However, the poor Prince Shang Zhixin didn't even have the guts to take back Chaozhou Prefecture by force.  problem of attribution.  After confirming the news, Lord Geng thought again and again, and finally couldn't help but send an envoy to Lord Shang, using the pretext of visiting his sister who was married to Lord Shang Zhixin, and took the opportunity to test Lord Shang's attitude towards Fatty Lu.

    Prince Geng is quite knowledgeable. The envoy he sent to test Prince Shang was Jiang Yuanxun, a military counselor in his team who had more strategic vision and strategic mind. Jiang Yuanxun did not disappoint Prince Geng. After meeting Prince Shang, he took  Taking advantage of the chance that Lord Shang was half-drunk, he opened his mouth to congratulate Lord Shang. Lord Shang asked where the joy came from, but Jiang Yuanxun took the opportunity to ask back: "My lord, your brother-in-law, Lord Lu, has already taken Beijing and most of the north.  Moved Yue Wang Xingyuan directly into the Forbidden City, the tyranny of the king has already taken shape, the prince and Lu prince are brothers, the tide rises, the power is only in the morning and evening, shouldn't the officials congratulate the prince?"

    "Power overwhelms the world? A rising tide lifts all boats? Go ahead and dream!" Lord Shang didn't know whether he was really drunk or pretended to be drunk, so he slapped the table and began to curse, "It would be great if that bastard surnamed Lu was so nice to me!  The entire Fujian Province has robbed Lao Tzu of Chaozhou Mansion. When he really led his troops southward and entered Guangdong, he would have to swallow the king even the belt and bones? That bastard, the heart of the bastard is worse than a full dog  !"??Tongcheng County.

    Immediately afterwards, Fatty's soldiers approached the city of Anqing, and first sent envoys into the city to surrender. Anhui Governor Jin Fu, who had been trapped in the isolated city for a year, was a little moved.  Xi Tai refused to live and die, and even brazenly killed the Fatty Army envoy.  Li Maozhu and Li Jiyang were furious when they heard the news, and immediately sent troops to attack the city, attacking Anqing's dry gate and water gate from both land and water.  As soon as the battle started, soldiers fled, and the situation became more and more serious. Later, even the city gate officials opened the city gate and surrendered to the fat army.  Worried that the Fatty Army envoy would be beheaded and would not accept the surrender, he set fire to himself in the room. Fortunately, the Fatty Army warriors rushed into the fire and rescued Jin Fu, who saved Fatty Lu's river-controlling soldier. Then Li Maozhu and Li Jiyang announced that they would not kill An Qing  One person, if the crime of beheading the defenders is not investigated, Anqing will immediately stabilize.

    The power of hypocrisy is always greater than violence. The news that the Fatty Army forgave Anqing's Qing army's crimes spread, and the remaining Qianshan, Taihu, and Wangjiang counties in Anqing immediately surrendered to the Fatty Army.  .  There is also Lu'an Prefecture, which is not within the target of the Fatty Army. Li Chengpei, the governor of the prefecture, also took the initiative to send a surrender form, begging the Fatty Army to send troops to station immediately, so as to prevent Lu'an from being ravaged by Ma Bao's army.

    What made General Ma even more angry was that he was still behind. His goal was to attack the prefecture of Yingzhou to test the limit of the fat army's tolerance for his expansion. Unexpectedly, Lu Youshan, the prefect of Yingzhou, led the army and people in the city to fight against General Ma Baojun.  The third team fought until the corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed like rivers, and they vowed not to surrender. They sent envoys one after another to contact the Fatty Army in Fengyang Mansion, requesting that the Fatty Army enter Yingzhou to protect the country and the people.  Yao Yi, the new Admiral of Fatty Army in Anhui, hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't bear to let down the sincerity of Lu Youshan and the soldiers and civilians in Yingzhou, and personally led the army to rescue Yingzhou.

    The two friendly armies met under the city of Yingzhou for the sake of territory. Of course, there was a heated argument. Wang San thought that he came first, and Yingzhou should belong to him.  Wang San withdrew from Yingzhou, of course Wang San refused, and Yao Yi also refused to give in. Under mutual refusing to give in, the first battle between Fatty Army and Wu Jun soon started under the city of Yingzhou, and the battle between Fatty Army and Wu Jun  The inevitable civil war between the two countries finally fired the first shot.

    Note: Shang Zhixin's wax pill secret letter and the false surrender to the Wu army are not fictional, and are recorded on the first page of the second volume of "Shang's Genealogy".  Regarding Shang Zhixin's feigned surrender of the Wu army to save Guangzhou for Kang Mazi, although the Qing court categorically denied it in historical materials, "Shang's Genealogy" recorded the matter and the full text of the secret book in the 41st year of Kang Mazi, and it was written by Shang Zhixin.  His younger brother Shang Zhilong, who led the bodyguards of the younger brother, recorded it in his own handwriting. Under the high-pressure environment of the literary prison of the Qing Dynasty, Shang Zhilong dared to record it in the family tree.  It is conceivable whether Shang Zhixin's wax ball secret book really exists.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 412 Accidental Crash

    ?

    "Forgive me, my lord. I have no way to teach my son. The dog caused such a catastrophe for the first time on an official business. It ruined the lord's gentle plan. Both the official and the dog deserve to die! Please punish the lord severely.  Willing to accept the crime!"

    Not to mention, when Yao Qisheng kowtowed in front of Fatty Lu and said these words, Fatty Lu, who was recalling the big iron mines and alum mines in Beijing and Hebei, was really taken aback, and almost suspected Yao Qisheng's son Yao Yi  He fled with his army and surrendered to his enemies.  The upstart Zhu Fangdan, Mu Tianyan, Huang Yanbo, Zhang Fengyi, and Jin Zhen, who were acting as agents for official duties, were also taken aback. They thought that Yao Yi would not win Yao Qisheng's reputation, and lost the Fengyang granary as soon as he arrived in Anhui.

    "What's the matter?" Fatty Lu hurriedly left the table and went to help Yao Qisheng himself, "Mr. Yao, please get up quickly. If you have something to say, speak slowly, there is no need to do this."

    "You should be punished for the crime of a lower official. The dog is young and impulsive, and he is impatient. As soon as he arrived in Anhui, he had a conflict with General Ma Bao." Yao Qisheng refused to get up, but just put the six hundred li urgent military intelligence pond report he had just received with both hands.  Raising his head, he said with a sad face: "Although there is a reason for the incident and our army has not suffered a loss, the dog still ruined the prince's Huairou plan. Please punish the dog severely. The lower officials dare not take sides."

    "What the hell did Yao Yi do?" Opening the pond newspaper in confusion, and carefully reading the content, Fatty Lu immediately heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that Yao Yi did not want to let Yingzhou down because the soldiers and civilians of Yingzhou insisted on only sending down fat soldiers.  The army and the people expected, but also feared that the hearts of those who wanted to surrender would be chilled, so they were forced to send troops to Yingzhou on their own initiative. They fought a battle with Wang San's team under Ma Bao's command under the city of Yingzhou. They lost more than 600 people and killed 1,100 people.  The soldiers of Duoma Baojun drove Wang San out of Yingzhou, and then Yao Yi also knew that she might have caused trouble, so she hurriedly pleaded guilty.  Along with the military intelligence pond newspaper, there are also a memorial to defend Yao Yi by Wu Xingzuo, the governor of Anhui, the fat man's army, and a blood letter from the military and civilian officials in Yingzhou.

    Zhu Fangdan, Mu Tianyan, and Huang Yanbo were all silent after reading the military intelligence report sent by Yao Yi and Wu Xingzuo, and they all found it extremely difficult because this matter was too complicated.  It is only natural for the Fat Army and Yao Yi to send troops to take over Yingzhou. At the same time, if the Fat Army does not accept the blood letter from the soldiers and civilians of Yingzhou to surrender, they will sit back and watch Yingzhou be captured and ravaged by Ma Baojun.  If it is necessary to recruit and surrender hostile forces, it will inevitably increase a lot of difficulty, so Yao Yi's own initiative to send troops to Yingzhou should be regarded as meritorious and innocent.

    The complexity lies in the battle between Fatty Army and Ma Baojun. The three Anhui prefectures, Yingzhou, Lu'an, and Anqing, have always been buffered by Fatty Army and Wu Army. The situation was complicated and chaotic before.  Unwilling to take these three state capitals and directly border them, countless incidents and dangers have arisen out of thin air, so neither side has attacked these three state capitals. For the time being, the remnants of the Qing army are entrenched in these three state capitals.  Generally speaking, these three state capitals are blank areas.

    Since it is a blank area, of course whoever comes first will get it. It is legal and reasonable for Ma Bao to send troops to attack Yingzhou.  You can no longer reach into Yingzhou and grab territory with your allies, but now Yao Yi not only reaches into Yingzhou, but also directly fights with Ma Bao's army for the sake of Yingzhou city.  The infamy of the civil war naturally made the Fatty Army bear the truth. The Fatty Army won the battle, but lost morality.

    These are still relatively light, but what is more troublesome is the possible consequences of this incident. Ma Bao, the general of the Wu army who merged with Fatty, is not only the favorite general of the old man in the Pingxi palace and the traitor of Wu, but also the most powerful neutral in the Wu army's civil war.  Even Fang Guangchen, the only surviving first generation of the Pingxi Palace who always hated Ma Bao, admitted that he had misjudged himself. He did not expect Ma Bao to remain calm at such a time and not to interfere in the Wu army's civil war.  , has an excellent reputation within Wu Jun.  At the same time, because Ma Bao is not from the Wu clan and holds a heavy army, he has always been the main target of Fatty Army's recruiting and appeasement.  Fatty Lu's personal and Fatty's army as a whole will naturally benefit endlessly.  And now Yao Yi fired the first shot in the civil war for the Fatty Army, but it happened to hit Ma Bao, and this shot was fired when the main force of the Fatty Army was leaning north and its foothold was not stable. What kind of consequences would it cause those who  The variable is that no one can tell clearly.

    Yao Qisheng, Zhu Fangdan and others waited in fear for a long time. After closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, Fatty Lu finally opened his eyes, smiled and supported Yao Qisheng with both hands, and said with a relaxed smile: "Mr.  Small conflict, what's the big deal, kowtow to plead guilty? Please get up, sit down and talk."

    Having said that, Fatty Lu forcibly pulled Yao Qisheng up.p; "Return to the general, the young envoy is the envoy sent by Lord Lu." Chen Renjie respectfully agreed, and then said cautiously: "I, Chen Renjie, have stolen the post of Li Cao's chief in the palace of Yue Wang in the Great Zhou Dynasty. How dare you ask the general?"

    "My name is Wang San." The general Ma Baojun promised grandly, pointed to the gauze on his forehead, and said with a smirk: "See? This is the memory you left for me! When you were in Yingzhou, if you shot again  An inch to the left, and my life will be reimbursed!"

    "Fuck! Uncle Chen, I must have missed the imperial calendar when I went out today!" Chen Renjie murmured in his heart, and hurriedly bowed his fists and said respectfully: "General Wang, our army is very sorry about the incident in Yingzhou.  Make it to the general"

    "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense!" Wang San interrupted rudely, and said with a sneer: "Let's go, our Marshal Ma is waiting for you, and Guo Shangshu is also waiting for you.  Let's talk in front of them!" After finishing speaking, Wang Sanyi waved his hand, and several Ma Bao's soldiers rushed forward, without saying a word, he set Chen Renjie up and walked in.

 Chapter 413

    ?

    Being carried directly into Ma Bao's handsome hall by the soldiers of Ma Baojun, Chen Renjie, the fat man's army messenger, soon saw that the Ma Baoshuai hall was already full of generals of all levels, big and small, sitting in the middle of the hall.  With a grizzled face and beard, a rough expression, and wearing a phoenix-winged beast-face swallowing helmet specially designed for high-ranking military generals in the former Ming Dynasty, he presumably is Ma Bao, the former favorite general of the old traitor Wu and the current Generalissimo of the Honghua court.

    Sitting next to Ma Bao were many generals of the Wu army, beautiful and ugly, tall and short, but Chen Renjie joined the Fat Army after the Fat Army invaded Nanjing, so he didn't know any of these people, but sitting on the left side of Ma Bao  A middle-aged man in his forties caught Chen Renjie's attention. He was wearing a former Ming Tuan collar shirt with a golden pheasant pattern on his official uniform.  Guo Zhuang, Xia Guoxiang's confidant, was murdered.

    When Chen Renjie was observing Ma Bao and the others, Ma Bao and other generals of the Wu army were of course also observing Chen Renjie, and the first member of the Wu army standing on the right side of Ma Bao was quite puzzled and asked: "Are you the envoy sent by Lu Yifeng?  Why haven't we seen you in the old Pingxi Palace's team before?"

    "Report to this general, the small envoy Chen Renjie, who was sent by King Lu of the Yue King of the Great Zhou to apologize to General Ma Baobao, the General of the Great Zhou Conquest to the North." Chen Renjie tried not to let his fear show, and bowed his hands in a very respectful reply.  Said: "Xiaguan was originally the eighth-rank book of the magistrate's yamen in Jiangning. When Lord Lu led the Dazhou army to attack Nanjing, the Xiaguan followed Mr. Xie to abandon the secret and join the Dazhou army.  I have no post, so I have no blessing to see the dignity of the generals, and the generals have never seen the little envoy."

    "So that's the case." The general of the Wu army nodded, and then asked casually: "Then why didn't Lu Yifeng send an old man from the Pingxi palace? He just wanted to send a newcomer, and it was inconvenient to talk."

    "General, the reason for this is not clear to the emissary." Chen Renjie replied cautiously: "It may be because there is not even an old man in the Pingxi Palace in the Li Cao of the Yue Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the villain happens to be working in the Li Cao.  That's why Prince Lu casually appointed a villain as his envoy."

    "Marshal, did you hear me, did you hear me wrong?" Guo Zhuangmou said suddenly, turned to Ma Bao and said with a smile, "Does that rebellious boy surnamed Lu only treat outsiders as treasures and our old man in the Pingxi Palace as grass?"  ? Such a big Licao yamen, not even an old man from our Pingxi Palace?"

    Ma Bao snorted heavily and did not answer, but Chen Renjie came to his senses and quickly explained: "General Ma, don't get me wrong, there is no old man in Pingxi Palace in Licao of Yuewangfu, because Licao is the same as the Ministry of Rites.  They are all the poorest and least lucrative yamen in the six ministries, so we are the newcomers. The old people in the Pingxi Palace are all in places like Li Cao, Hu Cao and Bing Cao, and the slightly poorer criminal Cao and Gong Cao.  , there are very few old people in Pingxi Palace."

    "Boy Lu Yifeng, are you really treating our old man in Pingxi Palace so kindly?" Ma Bao finally asked with a curious expression on his face.

    "It's absolutely true." Chen Renjie nodded quickly, and replied honestly: "Young envoy dare not lie to the general, our prince values ??old love the most, and treats the old man of Pingxi palace most favorably.  The most ordinary soldier, now he has at least been promoted to be a post chief, and his military salary is higher than other newcomers. This is especially true for civil officials. Even the civil officials in Lu Wangye's team back then, even if they were a secretary, are now paid.  At least a county magistrate."

    Hearing Chen Renjie's words, all the generals in Ma Bao's team exclaimed in low voices with envy on their faces, but Guo Zhuangmou was furious and cursed: "Put your mother's shit on! A book office is at least one  Magistrate, bragging is not afraid of flashing your tongue!"

    "My lord, what's the use of boasting as a small envoy?" Chen Renjie replied with a wry smile: "Lord Lu has led the Great Zhou army to take down more than six provinces, and they are all provinces with the largest population and the largest number of cities in the world.  There are thousands of vacancies in civil and military positions in this county, and the Yungui elders in Lu Wangye's team at that time were not enough to be assigned, so they could only be appointed as the secretary office of the county magistrate, which is still unlucky."

    Guo Zhuangmou was speechless, Ma Bao blinked his copper bell eyes and remained silent, but the general of the Wu army who first questioned Chen Renjie before said with a smile: "Boy Lu Yifeng, you are getting fatter and fatter. Boy Chen, you know me  Who is it? It doesn¡¯t matter if I don¡¯t know, let me introduce myself, my name is Du Hui, and I was General Xiaoqi, who was the personal army of Prince Pingxi when he started his army, and later the commander of the Great Zhou Navy.¡±

    "It turned out to be General Du, but the envoy has blind eyes. Please forgive me, General." Chen Renjie quickly saluted, and then said respectfully: "General Du, taking this opportunity, the envoy has something to report to you. The son of the general who stayed in Taiwan back then."  Du Guochen, General Du, has followed Chaozhou General Liu Jinzhong and Liu Jinzhong to rebel against the Yanping Palace and surrendered to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Your son.??Follow the commander-in-chief and go to Lord Lu!  Go with the commander-in-chief and go to Lord Lu!  Go with the commander-in-chief and go to Lord Lu!  "

    "Boy Chen!" Ma Bao suddenly pointed at Chen Renjie again, and shouted, "Immediately write back to Lord Lu and ask Lord Lu to send someone to take over my army and territory! And tell him that I want to enter Beijing, to give  Kowtow to the imperial edict of Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou! Tell him to prepare everything for Lao Tzu¡¯s mansion, rewards, land and beauties.  I can spare him, but no one else can spare him! Do you understand?"

    "I understand, I understand." Chen Renjie, who had been frightened by General Ma's arrogance, nodded repeatedly and agreed again and again, but Chen Renjie suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Old General, what about your family members? They  What should I do? They are still in Yunnan, what if"

    "I've thought about it a long time ago." General Ma had a sly smile on his rough face, pointing at Guo Zhuangmou, who was already terrified, and said with a smirk: "Guo Zhuangtu is just such a younger brother. I caught him in my hands.  Are you afraid that Guo Zhuangtu will not obediently return Lao Tzu's family?"

    "The old general is brilliant." Chen Renjie had a flattering face, and at the same time he muttered in his heart, "No wonder he hasn't kicked his legs after 40 years on the battlefield. He really is a slippery old man."

    "Also." General Ma shouted again: "When Prince Lu sent someone to take over Lao Tzu's army and territory, he asked him to bring some food and grass from Nanjing. Lao Tzu's food and grass can only last for a month or so! Damn it!"  If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that there is no food and grass, and you expect to grab a batch of food and grass to survive the spring famine, Wang San, a bastard, would fight you in Yingzhou?!¡±

    ps: Ma Bao¡¯s war-weary mentality is not a fiction of the author. It is recorded in the fifth volume of "Ting Wenlu". In history, after the old traitor Wu died of illness suddenly, Wu Guogui, who was promoted by the Wu army generals as handsome, proposed to give up protecting Yunnan and concentrate his troops eastward to the south of the Yangtze River  Or go straight to Beijing, but Ma Bao was the first to object, and put forward a negative proposition of surrendering Yunnan, with a very obvious war-weariness mentality.

 Chapter 414 Maximizing Benefits

    ?

    General Ma's wise and unexpected decision not only made the decision-makers of the fat army unexpected, but also made the decision-makers of the fat army dumbfounded, and made the decision-makers of the fat army feel completely caught off guard.

    It's not that the Fatty Army doesn't want General Ma to surrender with his troops and territory. As an old warlord with territory, army and prestige, General Ma took the initiative to surrender with his territory and troops, and offered to accept the reorganization of the Fatty Army and hand over military power.  The meaning and symbolic significance are so great that it cannot be described in words at all, and the benefits brought to the fat army are so great that they cannot be calculated only by benefits.

    The key point is that the timing of General Ma¡¯s surrender was inappropriate. After the conflict with Ma Baojun, the Fatty Army responded with soft measures and did not rely on the strong to bully the weak. This is because after the Fatty Army expanded too fast, various internal problems were exposed, and time was urgently needed.  Stand firm, eliminate hidden dangers, don't want to start a new battlefield at this time, and make new enemies, so I have to bow my head to General Ma, intending to stabilize General Ma first, and continue to use General Ma as a buffer wall to block  The Honghua court team, destined to be impossible to reconcile, bought time for the fat army to solve the problem.

    It's just that Fatty Lu didn't expect that General Ma would come here with his team and territory just because he was so casual. In this way, General Ma's threat to the Fatty Army was resolved, but the Fatty Army suddenly  With the army of the Honghua court fully bordering, and directly face to face with the biggest enemy, Huairou has such a result, Fatty Lu really can't help crying and laughing.

    I can¡¯t laugh or cry, General Ma surrendered so sincerely, and even surrendered his military power and territory, of course, Fatty Lu would not refuse, let alone refuse¡ªif he doesn¡¯t set an example of General Ma well, what else will Fatty Lu use to appease others?  warlord?  So there was no other way, Fatty Lu had no choice but to quickly order Cao, the householder of King Yue's mansion, to clean up Prince Qingkang's mansion in Langfang Hutong, and announced that he would reward General Ma as his mansion in Beijing, and with the imperial decree of the Great Zhou Dynasty, King Yue  For the honor of the order, the old general Ma was granted the title of the first-class hereditary marquis, the general of Fuguo, and the yearly salary of 1,500 shi.  Two, 50,000 taels of silver, gave General Ma enough benefits, and also left General Ma with a chance for further promotion.  The big and small generals in Ma Bao's team also have their own rewards.

    At the same time, in order to prevent the Honghua court from attacking Jiujiang and Nanchang in anger, Fatty Lu hastily ordered Li Mao, who was stationed in Anqing, to send troops to Jiujiang to take over the defense from Jiujiang to Nanchang, reorganize the old general Ma's team, and at the same time seal the former surrender  The fat man's army was elected as the governor of Jiangxi, escorted by Li Mao's army, and rushed to Jiujiang and Nanchang to form a local government. Then he appointed Li Xiongfei as the admiral of Jiangxi and asked him to lead a team to Jiujiang and Nanchang to strengthen the defense.  The team of General Ma, who was inextricably linked with the imperial court, was transferred to the south line and handed over to Li Tianzhi, so that these veterans could abuse the weak Lord Geng and Prince Zheng to their heart's content.

    At the same time that the Fatty Army quickly adjusted its deployment, Xia Guoxiang, the king of Chu in the Honghua court, became furious after receiving the news, and immediately led the army down the river to find Ma Bao to settle the score.  To meet Xia Guoxiang's anger, they just closed the gates of Jiujiang and Nanchang and waited for the reinforcements of the Fatty Army to arrive. The superior navy of the Fatty Army stationed in Anqing did not disappoint General Ma. The Jiujiang War lasted only five days.  The fat man's navy arrived at the Jiujiang battlefield and started a decisive battle with the Honghua navy led by Lord Wei's good friend Lin Xingzhu. The Jiujiang navy led by Du Hui also took the opportunity to attack and joined hands with the fat man's navy to face Lin Xingzhu.

    This is an evenly matched battle on the surface of the water. Because the main force of the Fatty Army's navy is divided into three, and the other two main forces have already rushed to Zhili and Wenzhou respectively, the Fatty Army's navy led by Li Jiyang does not account for the number of ships.  The advantage is that like Lin Xingzhu's navy, it has about 200 large warships. Du Hui's Jiujiang navy ships are old and few.  It is also because of this that Lin Xingzhu, a good friend of Lord Wei who has been on several boats, is full of confidence and is determined to give Fatty Army a little color on the water and avenge his real master, the Qing court.

    It is of course good to have fighting spirit and determination, but when it came time for the decisive battle, General Lin Xingzhu, a good friend of Lord Wei's, found out that something was wrong. The artillery on the fat man's warship was not only more accurate than his artillery, but also shot farther.  Looking through the binoculars, the cannons of the Fatty Army were the same as those of the Honghua Navy, they were exactly the same Hongyi cannons and mother-child cannons, there was no difference.  But when Lin Xingzhu was puzzled, the fat man's navy gave full play to the long-range advantage of high-precision shells, always hiding outside the range of the Honghua navy and firing, desperately using the range to bombard the Honghua navy, what did they say?  Lin Xingzhu was forced to take advantage of the upper reaches to initiate a close-board battle with the Honghua navy.Might cause trouble for us.  "

    "It's not that easy." Fatty Lu stopped laughing, and said with a sneer: "Guo Zhuangtu's goal is the whole world, Geng Jingzhong's goal is Jiangnan, Shang Zhixin's goal is self-protection, the interests are different, and people who work together  Siege me and live his mother's Spring and Autumn Dream!"

    "It may be difficult for them to join forces to attack us, but if we let them join forces to protect each other, it is very possible." Yao Qisheng said in a deep voice: "Especially at the critical moment of life and death, out of the consideration of death, these three guys  It is very likely that they will join hands to fight us desperately, and to keep their allies is to keep themselves. This is extremely difficult for our army to defeat them one by one."

    "It's possible, but it doesn't matter. I'm the best at alienating and destroying such fragile alliances." Fatty Lu waved his hand confidently, took a closer look at the alliance, and said with a puzzled expression: "But there is  One thing I am very surprised, how can Shang Zhixin get mixed up with Geng Jingzhong and Guo Zhuangtu? Logically speaking, there is no conflict of interest between me and him for the time being, and the relationship is also in an intimate period, so why did he start to be hostile to me?  ? Could it be because of that enclave in Chaozhou, that enclave, I also ordered Shaobo to negotiate with him?"

    "About this point, Old General Ma has introduced it in his watch." Yao Qisheng took out Ma Bao's watch again, and while presenting it to Fatty Lu, he explained: "Guo Zhuangmou once introduced Shang Zhi roughly in order to pull Old General Ma into the water.  The reason why Xin is hostile to the lord seems to be that Shang Zhixin has something in your hands, lord, you have been holding back, and Shang Zhixin is worried that you will settle accounts with the lord, so it is better to strike first."

    "Shang Zhixin has something in this king's hands?" A cold light flashed in Fatty Lu's small eyes.

    "Could it be the wax pill secret book?" Huang Yanbo interjected and said, "My lord, could it be the wax pill secret book we found from Mangounan's study?"

    "There is only this explanation." Fatty Lu nodded, and said with a sneer, "My brother-in-law did such a shameless thing, of course he was afraid that I would know, and he was even more afraid that I would use that secret letter as evidence to kill his head and take his body away."  Guangdong."

    "If this is the case, then the lower officials have a plan, which can make Guo Zhuangtu, Shang Zhixin, and Geng Jingzhong suspect each other, prevent each other, and be unable to work together." Yao Qisheng said with a smile.

    "What clever plan does Master Yao have?" Zhu Fangdan asked happily.

    "It's very simple. It's enough to send the wax pill secret letter back to Shang Zhixin, tell him that I don't mind and don't pursue it, and then let Guo Zhuangtu and Geng Jingzhong know about it." Fatty Lu answered for Yao Qisheng casually.

    "My lord, Shengming, this is exactly the plan of the next official." Yao Qisheng quickly flattered him with admiration, and asked again: "My lord, what do you think of this plan? Return the evidence of the crime to Shang Zhixin for the time being, and stabilize him for the time being. In the future, the overall situation will be settled."  If you want to deal with him, you can find any excuse."

    "Yes, yes, but" Fatty Lu hesitated for a moment, "But my brother-in-law is also a cunning, he may not be able to believe my verbal promise, and he may not be sure to return the Lawan secret book to him."  I will not join hands with Geng Jingzhong and Guo Zhuangtu again."

    "It is possible, how does the prince plan to deal with it?" Yao Qisheng asked.

    "Let me think about it." Fatty Lu walked around the Hall of Martial Arts with his hands behind his back, suddenly stopped, raised his head and said, "This king thinks that if Shang Zhixin really rebelled against me because of this secret letter, then he must be very serious."  Paying attention to the significance of this secret book, we can also push the boat along the way, maximize the value of this secret book, and use this secret book to force or lure Shang Zhixin, Geng Jingzhong and Guo Zhuangtu to meet each other, so that the  Maximize the interests of our military."

    "The prince's words are very true, but what should our army do?" Yao Qisheng asked respectfully.

    "I haven't figured out how to do it yet." Fatty Lu squeezed the mustache on his chin, and said in a deep voice, "I think we must first find out whether Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong, the two bastards, know about us.  We already know about them, that is, whether we know that they have formed an alliance in the dark and are preparing to join forces against me, and then we will make a plan."

    "It's easy." Yao Qisheng said with a smile: "If they know that we have figured out their details, they will definitely seize the time to strengthen their defenses and prepare to meet the wrath of the prince. As long as we find out their combat readiness, we can analyze whether they know  This." (To be continued.

 Chapter 415 Superfluous

    ?

    From winter to spring, everything recovers, and a hundred flowers bloom. Unknowingly, time has quietly entered the second year of Honghua in Dazhou. In March, as a large amount of grain from the south of the Yangtze River entered Beijing, the price of grain in the famine-plagued Gyeonggi area gradually fell.  Back to the normal level, and with the gradual stabilization of law and order, the Nine Cities of Beijing has gradually restored the prosperity and excitement of the past.  When land prices plummeted due to repeated military turmoil, he bought a piece of land he wanted in the city of Beijing, opened various businesses, and all businesses gradually prospered, presenting a gratifying scene of prosperity.

    It is not only the common people and businessmen who moved into the capital in large numbers, but also the family members of the Fatty Army and the government offices are also moving to Beijing. In order to accommodate these old and weak women and children, Lu Fatty ordered the inner city of Beijing to be divided into two, from Fuchengmen to Chaoyang  The straight street of the gate is the boundary, and the northern half is vacated to accommodate the families, wives and children of the main generals and dignitaries of the Fatty Army. The southern half is sold to the common people except for the confiscated mansion of Prince Qing Qing.  Jiangnan bought food and porridge to help the people of Zhili survive the famine, bought seeds and farm tools and distributed them to poor people for free, and artificially accelerated the economic recovery of Gyeonggi.

    The north and south cities are not separated by city walls, and people can come and go as they please, but the land in the north city is not allowed to be bought and sold for the time being, and they are preparing to arrange it for the old Pingxi palace vassals who will surrender in the future.  The most, and the sacrifice is the biggest. Although Fatty Lu did not imagine that the Qing court raised these people with hard-core crops, he had to do something to repay them.

    Among the old Pingxi Palace vassals, the first batch of beneficiaries, in addition to the old man of Pingxi Palace in the Fatty Army, and then the old man of Pingxi Palace in the team of Old General Ma and BMW, after the old man of Pingxi Palace in the team of Old General Ma entered Beijing  , everyone immediately got a house in the inner city of Beijing, and an enclosure confiscated from the Eight Banners of Mite Qing. Old General Ma simply lived in Prince Kang's mansion next to the imperial city.  When the old people in Pingxi Wangfu in General Ma's team thanked Fatty Lu together, Fatty Lu said with a smile: "I wanted to give you more, but the world is not peaceful yet, and the military expenditure is too high, so I will talk about it later."  .¡±

    Hearing Fatty Lu's words, in order to show their loyalty, the generals of Ma Bao's army, who had just surrendered, were of course scrambling to salute and ask for a fight.  The leading generals from all walks of life in the palace wrote letters to appease these leading generals on behalf of Fatty Lu. Using himself as an example, he persuaded these people to be like him and return the territory with the troops to the embrace of the King of Yue.  At the same time, in order to start the war to recover Liaodong, Fatty Lu appointed Du Hui as the admiral of the Liaodong Navy, and placed it under Gao Dejie's command. He was sent to Shanhaiguan to form the Qinhuangdao Navy of the Fatty Army. Du Hui readily obeyed.

    In fact, there is no need for General Ma to waste time writing letters to appease him. As the number one general of the non-Wu clan and Wu's relatives in the old Pingxi Palace, General Ma joined the Fat Army with his team and territory and exchanged countless riches and honors.  As the news spread, all the generals in the Pingxi Palace who were not from the Wu clan's relatives were already very excited and eager to try. They sent envoys or secret agents one after another to try to get in touch with Fatty Lu, and wanted to see what price Fatty Lu was going to buy.  their ranks and territory.  After all, these people have no prestige and are not strong enough to protect themselves. No matter how ambitious they are, they will not be able to make big waves. It is better to find a good master and sell themselves for a piece of glory and wealth. Future generations will thank you  Own.

    Representatives of this type of people are of course Wang Pingfan and Wang Fuchen who are entrenched in Shaanxi and Gansu. Their army strength is indeed not weak, but due to environmental constraints, it is impossible to achieve self-sufficiency in food, grass and military pay on the site, and they are surrounded by several powerful enemies.  There is no capital to be independent, so after the Fatty Army general Han Daren captured the entire territory of Shanxi and bordered them, Wang Fuchen and Wang Pingfan inevitably both sent envoys to get in touch with the Fatty Army to test the Fatty Army's appeasement to them.  manner.  In Wang Pingfan's letter to Fatty Lu, in addition to testing whether Fatty Lu intends to appease him, he also asked Fatty Lu a very sensitive question-for whom is Fatty Lu planning to rule the world?  For the descendants of old traitor Wu, or for Fatty Lu himself?

    Of course, Fatty Lu would not answer Wang Pingfan's question. Not only did he not answer, but he also wrote back to scold Wang Pingfan bloody, and pointedly pointed out that Wang Pingfan has not captured Tongguan so far. It is not a matter of strength or the dangerous terrain of Tongguan.  It's about Wang Pingfan's mentality!  I want to keep Tong Huinian, the remnant of the Qing army, as an excuse to avoid being involved in the Wu army's civil war, and to avoid taking a position in the Wu army's civil war!  With such sinister intentions, what qualifications do you have to ask yourself if you have the ambition to usurp the throne?  If you want to join the Fat Man Army, you can first use Tong Huinian's head as a certificate of honor, don'tThe recruits escorted another batch of food, grass and weapons from the south of the Yangtze River to the south, preparing to launch the Fujian war.  Regarding this, if Geng Jingzhong sent an envoy to inquire about the reason, he would reply that it was to prevent Zheng Jing from raiding the coast.

    Fatty Lu's third order was to give Li Tianzhi the emissary to hand over the book of covenant presented by Ma Bao and the declaration of war against Geng Jingzhong to Li Tianzhi, and let Li Tianzhi find an excuse to invite Geng Jingzhong to the north of Fenshui Pass two months later.  At the meeting, if Geng Jingzhong dared to go out of Fenshui Pass, then he would show evidence of Geng Jingzhong's rebellion, take Geng Jingzhong into custody and send him to Beijing, and then use Shang Zhixin to expose Geng Jingzhong's rebellion, and then march into Fujian and seize the entire territory of Fujian.

    If Geng Jingzhong was afraid that it was the Hongmen Banquet that did not dare to go out of the Fenshui Pass, Geng Jingzhong would definitely send an envoy to reply, then Li Tianzhi would present the evidence of Geng Jingzhong's rebellion in front of Geng Jingzhong's envoy, kill Shang Zhixin who betrayed Geng Jingzhong, and then  Let Geng Jingzhong's envoys bring the declaration of war back to Fujian, and then Li Tianzhi directly sent troops to attack Fenshui Pass, and regained the entire Fujian by force!  At the same time, Fatty Lu also gave Li Tianzhi a letter of surrender against Geng Jingzhong in advance, that is, if Geng Jingzhong surrenders military power and Fujian, his family will not die, and Geng Jingzhong will be granted the title of Duke Shunyi and Beijing.

    This vicious plan was all arranged by Fatty Lu, and Fatty Lu's confidantes didn't intervene until Fatty Lu finished arranging it. Yao Qisheng thought for a long time before interjecting, reminding: "My lord, I think your plan is worthless."  Mi Yishu, you killed him because Shang Zhixin betrayed Geng Jingzhong, but before we do it, what if Shang Zhixin¡¯s army does not act abnormally? If Shang Zhixin didn¡¯t prepare for war at all, wouldn¡¯t it prove that Shang Zhixin is innocent  ?¡±

    "No." Fatty Lu waved his hand and said with a sneer: "Geng Jingzhong's main force went south to fight Zheng Jing, and General Liu Jinzhong controlled an enclave in Chaozhou for us.  1. And after receiving the news that our army has increased its troops in Zhejiang and attacked southern Jiangxi, the two youngsters have a guilty conscience, so can¡¯t they prepare for defense? Especially Geng Jingzhong, who will definitely pour tears and snot at Shang Zhixin  Please help, even if Shang Zhixin just randomly sends some people to Jiaying Prefecture to make a show, once my declaration of war is announced, it will become an irrefutable proof that Shang Zhixin and us have joined hands to attack Geng Jingzhong!"

    "My lord's words are very true. I really forgot to calculate this point." Yao Qisheng nodded, and then suggested: "Your lord, just to be on the safe side, I suggest that the envoy we send to read the decree to Shang Zhixin can come before Shang Zhixin.  Just to mention it casually, it is said that his wax ball secret book was leaked to that person on purpose in order to instigate someone and the Man dog team to attack us, and then the man took the wax ball secret book to the man.  The prince asked for credit in front of him, in exchange for the prince not withdrawing his domain and seizing his seal, the prince was worried that this secret book would be used by that person, so he sent it to Guangzhou and destroyed it in front of the prince."

    "Planting it on Geng Jingzhong? What if Shang Zhixin sends an envoy to question him?" Fatty Lu wondered, "Geng Jingzhong definitely doesn't know the existence of this wax ball secret book. When the two families confront each other, isn't this king's clever plan?"  exposed?"

    "Prince Geng swears, will Prince Shang believe it?" Yao Qisheng smiled and asked: "Don't Prince Shang think so, it is because Prince Geng betrayed him, so Prince Geng refused to admit it?"

    "But in this way, when I plant Shang Zhixin to betray Geng Jingzhong, Shang Zhixin will understand that I have played tricks on him when he receives the news, and he may fall to Guo Zhuangtu?" Fatty Lu proposed another  New possibility, "At that time, Guo Zhuangtu will mediate again to reconcile the conflict, and these three young men will hook up again."

    "Your official thinks that the prince doesn't need to worry so much." Yao Qisheng replied: "In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and tricks are only auxiliary.  The boys don¡¯t trust each other, and they don¡¯t do their best to rescue each other. Our series of ecstasy schemes are used, and the fragile alliance of the three 25-year-old boys is almost torn apart. It is impossible to trust each other anymore, and that is enough for us.  gone."

    "What's more, even if it's not superfluous, we planted Shang Zhixin to betray Geng Jingzhong, but Shang Zhixin has never done this at all. We can still ask Guo Zhuangtu to mediate and reconcile the conflict. And we will provoke Shang Zhixin's hatred of Geng Jingzhong,  Even if Shang Zhixin finds out that he has been duped, he will hesitate for a while, considering whether to continue to join forces with Geng Jingzhong, or to go downhill and directly join forces with us."

    Fatty Lu pondered, and soon smiled again and said: "Let's add another thing to the snake. With my brother-in-law's suspicious and irritable temper, such a superfluous one may bring us unexpected surprises." (To be continued.

 Chapter 416

    ?

    As expected by Fatty Lu, when he heard the news of Fatty's army's increase in Zhejiang and the attack on southern Jiangxi, Geng Jingzhong and Monk Zhixin believed that the two youngsters were guilty of thieves, and immediately began to panic and panic all day long.

    However, this is not surprising. In this era, the southern Jiangxi area is sparsely populated, with high mountains and dangerous roads, backward economy, and little strategic value. The Fat Army won this land. Unless only a small number of second-line troops are left to guard the place, otherwise  The army stationed here is destined to lose money and food, but the fat man army just came, and it was 30,000 troops, killing chickens with a butcher's knife, and the hinterland is closely bordered by southern Jiangxi.  Lord Shang, how can there be any reason not to be frightened?

    The same is true for Lord Geng. In Wenzhou, Chuzhou, and Quzhou, Zhejiang bordering Fujian, there are already more than 80,000 Fatty Army land and water troops stationed there, threatening the stability of Prince Geng¡¯s northern territory at all times.  To increase troops to this area, and bring a large amount of food, grass and military supplies along the way, what is this plan to do?  Is it true that Li Tianzhi, who was expelled from the Pingnan Palace, said that it was just to prevent Zheng Jing from Taiwan from harassing the coast of Zhejiang?  Would Lord Geng believe such a lie to lie to a three-year-old child?  Can you believe it?

    Under the fear and anxiety, Prince Shang and Prince Geng had to quickly adjust the deployment of the army, transfer the elite main forces they could mobilize to the northern line, and strengthen the defense of the northern line.  The Aid Covenant stipulates that as long as one party is attacked, the other party must unconditionally send troops to reinforce it.  Another thing is to send envoys to contact Guo Zhuangtu to inform Fatty's army, and ask Guo Zhuangtu to be ready to send troops to rescue at any time, but Guo Zhuangtu's road is far away, and there is old Wu's traitorous cousin Zu on the road.  Zeqing led a group of troops loyal to the Wu clan to make trouble, far away water is more difficult to save close fire, so the greatest reliance of Geng Wangye and Shang Wangye is always on each other.

    Interdependence means interdependence. If you want to say that Geng Wangye and Shang Wangye can really rest assured of each other, can really give their backs to each other, and can really work together intimately, don't say Fatty Lu doesn't believe it, it is Geng Wangye and Shang Wangye  I don't even believe it!  Shang Zhixin, who is Lord Shang, he can even sell his own father and sister for profit, and he will not betray his brother-in-law, Prince Geng again for his own benefit, Prince Geng is the first to not believe it!  But Prince Geng is not much better. A fire in Fuzhou burned to Qijing (the name of the street in Fuzhou city), and he could fabricate and spread rumors that "the seven stars will worship the true emperor again, and the fire will start from the ear". The ambition is so big.  Said that Prince Geng is not interested in Guangdong, and Prince Shang was the first to not believe it!

    ?Under mutual distrust, Prince Geng and Prince Shang had to dispatch a large number of spies and spies to closely monitor each other's every move and keep abreast of all the words and deeds of the other party.  At the same time, because of the close marriage between the Geng and Shang families, there are a large number of female relatives and servants in the Pingnan Palace and Jingnan Palace, and it is easier to spy on each other's movements, so basically Geng Prince went to sleep in the princess' room at night.  Whether the prince is drinking Kweichow Moutai or Shaoxing Nurhong when drinking during the day, the other party can clearly tell.

    When the wind was raging and the grass and trees were in full swing, an unexpected news suddenly spread into the Pingnan Palace. Prince Lu, the Prince of Yue in the Great Zhou Dynasty, sent Shi Zongyao, the official Cao Siwu of the Yue Palace, to bring the Yue Wangjun order to Guangdong via Jiangxi, saying that he had come to Xiang Shangzhi.  Xin Wang Ye announced the decree, and especially emphasized that it was a happy event, and asked Shang Wang Ye's messengers to congratulate Shang Wang Ye in advance.  Hearing this news, Lord Shang was of course both puzzled and depressed. The one who was puzzled was Fatty Lu¡¯s emissary¡¯s intentions, and the one who was depressed was that time had passed. Fatty Lu, the seventh-rank sesame official who went to Huizhou to kowtow to him in order to see him, now unexpectedly  They have already sent someone to convey the order to him, and they are riding on his head to dictate.

    Depressed, there is no other way. Lord Shang is now an honorary official of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Fatty Lu has the power given by old traitor Wu to control the army of officials and people in the Great Zhou Dynasty. From the rules, Lord Shang really has to bow his head to his brother-in-law.  The difference in strength is too far, Lord Shang dare not offend Lord Lu directly, so there is no other way, Lord Shang can only endure the nausea like eating a fly, and send his younger brother Shang Zhizhang and his confidant Shen Shangda to Shaozhou to welcome Shi Zongyao according to the etiquette  Came to Guangzhou.

    When Shi Zongyao, who once served as the county magistrate of Yixing, and his party arrived in Guangzhou, it was already May 26, the second year of Honghua.  Du County is less than four hundred miles away from the Guangdong border.  That's why Prince Shang didn't dare to neglect his brother-in-law's envoys. For the first time, he went out of the city to meet Fatty's army envoys in person.  The lackeys meet and try to use this family relationship to build a good relationship with Fatty Army.

    Although Fatty Lu had sent people to Guangdong to deliver letters to Shang Wanyi several times before, he saw her husband again.??" Prince Shang's face changed drastically, and his fists could not help but clenched tightly.

    Lord Shang's reaction shocked Shi Zongyao again. Shi Zongyao, who knew the inside story, couldn't help but wondered, "Everyone said that Shang Zhixin's letters were thick and thin, and extremely cunning. How could he be so easy to deceive? Do you believe such an unimportant thing immediately?  Is it because the rumors are wrong, meeting is not as good as being famous?"

    "Master Shi, tell me quickly!" Lord Shang urged nervously, "My brother-in-law, how did you know this secret?"

    Shi Zongyao coughed, and then said seriously in a low voice: "Of course that person told our lord personally that now our lord's army has approached his border, and he is afraid that our lord will settle the old and new accounts together and take his title and withdraw him."  He secretly reported this important matter to our lord, and also submitted a copy of this letter, hoping to divert the disaster to the west, and expressed his willingness to lend the way to our lord, and even directly sent troops to help. Our lord Lu knows the matter  It's very important, and I'm more worried that that person will use this letter to make waves, pull you into the water, and do something that even Lu Wangye can't cover up, so I asked the envoy to take the original letter that was confiscated from Mangounan's study.  Send it to Guangzhou, please destroy it with your own hands, so that you can rest assured"

    "Geng Jingzhong! I'll fuck your mother's eighteen generations of ancestors!" Lord Shang jumped up violently, grabbed the teacup and smashed it on the ground, roaring wildly, "You bastard! You traitor! I'll fuck your mother!"  Eighteen generations of ancestors! A duplicitous bastard! A bastard¡ª¡ª!"

    "Do you believe it? This Lord Shang is too useless, isn't he?" Shi Zongyao was a little dumbfounded, and a lot of rhetoric prepared on the road was useless.

    "Just tell me, you bastard, you are so kind, and you can't sell it for a good price when you catch me?" The more Prince Shang scolded, the more angry he became, smashing the desks and benches in the study madly and shouting, "Sure enough!  That¡¯s right! It¡¯s really true! While using Lao Tzu¡¯s excuses to blackmail Lao Tzu, at the same time selling Lao Tzu¡¯s excuses, I want to trade my life for your glory and wealth! Bastard, you have a good idea!¡±

    "No way?" Shi Zongyao finally sensed that the smell was wrong, and exclaimed in his heart: "Could it be that we are playing the wrong way? Geng Jingzhong really has a copy of this letter in his hand, and he also took this letter to blackmail Lord Shang? There is nothing like this in the world.  A coincidence, right?"

    "Bastard, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous¡ª¡ª!"

    At this time, Lord Shang, who was furious to the extreme, rushed to the side of the bookshelf and rummaged for a while, but he didn't know what mechanism was pressed, and a small hole appeared on the wall of the study room, and Lord Shang rushed there again  Go, took out a stack of documents from the hole in the wall, handed them to Shi Zongyao, and said with a livid face: "Master Shi, you take these back to my brother-in-law! Geng Jingzhong accepted the title of Jinghai King conferred by my brother-in-law,  In private, we have connected with all kinds of rebels, and we are going to join forces to attack you! Now Geng Jingzhong has temporarily stopped attacking Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, just to drag Zheng Jing into the water, and let Zheng Jing surprise your Nanjing by sea!"

    Shi Zongyao was completely dumbfounded, and there was only one thought left in his mind, "Could it be that our lord is really the fate of the real dragon emperor, such a good thing, let our lord catch up?"

    "Master Shi doesn't believe it?" Lord Shang misunderstood Shi Zongyao's reaction, pointed to the stack of documents and said angrily: "In it, there is the original alliance agreement between Geng Jingzhong and Guo Zhuangtu, with Geng Jingzhong's autograph on it  There is also the letter Geng Jingzhong entrusted me to contact Zheng Jing and mediate the war between him and Zheng Jing, and there is also a letter signed by Geng Jingzhong's son! Also, because your army is going south, Geng Jingzhong's son is afraid that you will do something, so he wrote to urge me  Hurry up to send troops to station in Jiayingzhou, and agree that once the war starts, we will join forces to attack your enclave in Chaozhou immediately, and your own letter will also be included! With this, you can also become famous and kill that bastard Geng Jingzhong with dignity.  !"

    Happiness came so fast and so violently that Shi Zongyao felt like fainting.  But Prince Shang was still angry, and shouted again: "Tell my brother-in-law, if you do it, I will do it right away, attack Geng Jingzhong's son from the north and the south, and cut off the water and land connection between Geng Jingzhong's son and Guo Zhuangtu's son! After the matter is completed,  I will lend you a way to clean up Guo Zhuangtu, your team in Chaozhou, I can temporarily provide food and salary for you, and return it to me when you take Fujian!"

 Chapter 417 Forced King Geng to Surrender

    ?

    Fatty Lu sent his lackey Shi Zongyao to Guangzhou to read the Jun decree, and made such a big fanfare that it was naturally impossible to hide it from Prince Geng's eyeliner in Guangzhou, and following this news into Fuzhou City through various channels, not only Prince Shang  The news that Fatty Lu canonized him as Prince Fude of the Great Zhou, and of course the news that Prince Shang was strengthening his combat readiness in the Jiaying area - it is really difficult to hide this from the eyes of those who are interested.

    In the beginning, Lord Geng actually didn¡¯t pay much attention to this matter, because Lord Shang, like Lord Geng, was a courtier of the Great Zhou Dynasty in honor, and Fatty Lu, who pretended to be a tiger, had the regent power bestowed by the traitorous edict of the old man Wu in his hand.  There is nothing wrong with an envoy reading the Jun decree to Lord Shang, nothing strange.  But after hearing the news that Fatty Lu canonized Lord Shang as Prince of Fude, Prince Geng inevitably felt that something was wrong¡ªfor no reason, why did Fatty Lu upgrade Lord Shang to a higher rank?  Just because Lord Shang has been saving his strength and hiding behind to watch others fight, so Fatty Lu wants to reward him?

    Immediately afterwards, the news came that made Prince Geng feel that the taste was not right. After having accumulated more than 30,000 troops in the Jiaying area, Lord Shang sent his confidant Wang Guodong to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to Jiaying (  Today¡¯s Meizhou) directly threatened Prince Geng¡¯s Tingzhou and Longyan, and even more directly threatened the main flank of the southern line where Prince Geng confronted Zheng Jing.  In this way, as long as Prince Geng is not so stupid, he will not dare to take it lightly no matter how careless he is.

    As a last resort, in order to prevent any contingencies, Lord Geng could only send someone to contact Lord Shang to find out the specific reasons why Lord Shang increased his troops on the northern front, and at the same time quickly adjusted his troops. He dispatched a team from all over Fujian to Tingting  In order to avoid being stabbed in the back by Lord Shang.  But in this way, Prince Geng's limited military strength is naturally even more stretched. Part of it must maintain military pressure on Zheng Jing, part of it must guard against the Fatty Army's Zhejiang army, and part of it must guard against Prince Shang.  The depth has almost disappeared, and the interior is almost frighteningly empty.

    At the beginning of June, 30,000 fat army recruits transferred from Shandong to Zhejiang arrived in Wenzhou, bringing a large amount of food, grass and weapons to the fat army on the southern front.  The three princes on the Cantonese battlefield have formed an overwhelming advantage.  Under such circumstances, Prince Geng naturally couldn't sleep at night and was worried. He guessed that something was going wrong and Fatty Jun might want to do something to him, but he didn't understand why Fatty Lu wanted to do something to him again?  In terms of reputation, he is still King Jinghai of the great Zhou Dynasty, and he has not been short of being a minister and paying tribute. Fatty Lu is an unknown teacher, so he is not afraid that everyone under his rule will be in danger?

    Immediately afterwards, another unexpected news came that Li Tianzhi, the general of Fatty's Conquest to the South, sent an envoy to Fuzhou, saying that he wanted to discuss with Geng Jingzhong the major event of destroying Zheng Jing and seizing Taiwan Zheng Jing.  Ten miles north of Fenshuiguan in Funing, I went to the banquet.  At the same time, Geng Jun's guard at Fenshui Pass in Funing also quickly reported that Li Tianzhi had personally led an army of 60,000 troops to station ten miles north of Fenshui Pass in Funing, where he set up a camp.

    Hearing these two pieces of news, Lord Geng was of course shocked, and hurriedly summoned a group of cronies to discuss countermeasures, and Prince Geng¡¯s cronies were still loyal, and unanimously opposed Prince Geng¡¯s meeting with Li Tianzhi at Fenshui Pass, worried that  There is no good banquet, and there is no good seat at the banquet. Prince Geng never returns.  Of course Prince Geng didn¡¯t dare to go, so he decided to send his confidant Xu Wenyao to Fenshui Pass to present a generous gift to Li Tianzhi. He asked Xu Wenyao to discuss important matters with Li Tianzhi on the pretext of being unwell, and at the same time let the two uncles stationed in Jianning and Funing  Geng Jishan and Geng Jimei made preparations to prevent the fat army from attacking suddenly.

    The next thing is simple, Xu Wenyao arrived at the Fatty Army camp ten miles north of Funing Fenshuiguan, and just presented a generous gift saying that Prince Geng was sick and could not come, Li Tianzhi, Fatty Lu¡¯s old running dog, immediately became furious and sent Prince Shang to the camp.  The documents sent by Shi Zongyao smashed on Xu Wenyao's face, and roared to read out Fatty Lu's decree, using the excuse that Prince Shang exposed Prince Geng's crimes, deprived Prince Geng of the title of King Jinghai of the Great Zhou Dynasty and his official and military power, and called Geng Jing's loyal army Geng Ni  The rebels declared war on Geng Jingzhong's rebels on behalf of the Yue Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty!  Xu Wenyao's face was ashen, and he kowtowed continuously, but in his heart he raged and cursed at the eighteen generations of Lord Shang's ancestors!

    Immediately afterwards, before Xu Wenyao was released and returned to Fuzhou to report the letter, Li Tianzhi immediately dispatched a large army to storm Funing Fenshui Pass.  Knowing that it was difficult to defend for a long time, he quickly sent an envoy to ask for help from Geng Jishan who was stationed in Fuding County. However, when Geng Jishan rushed to Fenshui Pass from Fuding County ten miles away to ask for help, the Fatty Army had already broken through the Fenshui Pass.  Shuiguan, beheaded the defender Lu Chaoquan, and grasped the initiative of the local battlefield.  Geng Jishan knew that the Fatty Army was no match for the Fatty Army in the field battle, so he quickly led the army to retreat. He never thought that the Generals of the Fatty Army, Lu Zhangtai and Zhu Sanshui, led two thousand cavalry to launch a surprise attack, and killed the Geng Army, which was ten times larger than himself.  Thousands of heads,Grandpa's team was defeated?  "

    "Li Tianzhi deliberately did not attack the city. It is clear that he wants to lure our main force back to help and destroy our main force in the field! Because Li Tianzhi knows very well that Fuzhou is the most important to our prince. If he surrounds Fuzhou, the prince will definitely dispatch other places.  The army returns to aid, and if he eliminates our main force in the field, he can save countless food, grass, ammunition and road consumption, and reduce resistance for his next plan! Have you heard of the tactic of besieging the city and fighting for aid?!"

    Lu Yunxiang was speechless, but Jiang Yuanxun quickly turned to Geng Jingzhong, knelt down on his knees and kowtowed, and said loudly: "My lord, maybe you think that this official is greedy for life and fear of death, so you persuade you to surrender, but this official can  I swear to God, I said these words because I am loyal to you! Lu Yifeng sits in the elite land of the seven provinces, with strong soldiers and horses, abundant money and food, and all the heroes of the world return home one after another. The unification of the world is a foregone conclusion. If you don¡¯t want to, my lord  Withdrawing this feudal clan, Lu Yifeng will definitely be wiped out by you without hesitation! Only by obeying the heavens and surrendering to Lord Lu Yifeng, can you save your wealth and life, your wealth and glory!"

    Geng Jingzhong didn't have a seizure, and he didn't speak. He just closed his eyes and calculated, as if the old monk had already settled down.  At this time, a messenger suddenly came in from outside the hall, rushed to Geng Jingzhong, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, General Ma Jiuyu, please go to the north gate of Fuzhou as soon as possible, something big happened outside the city."  gone."

    "What happened outside the city?" Geng Jingzhong suddenly opened his eyes and asked nervously, "What happened?"

    "This" The messenger hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Go back to the lord, the old general Geng Jimei is here, he has led the Yanping army to surrender Guo Yingfu's dog thief, and now he is under the city to persuade him to surrender."

    There was no sound in the hall, and Geng Jingzhong was dumbfounded. After a long time, Geng Jingzhong turned his gaze to Jiang Yuanxun who was kneeling beside him, and asked slowly in a hoarse voice: "You said, this king can use Lu Yifeng's hand to kill Shang Zhixin for revenge.  How can I borrow it? Lu Yifeng, is he willing to kill his brother-in-law?"

    "My lord, please don't worry." Jiang Yuanxun solemnly replied: "Under the whole world, could it be the king's land? Lord Lu Yifeng's ambition is in the world, and he will never allow a local emperor to appear, even if this emperor is his wife and brother! Lord Lu now  To show favor to Shang Zhixin, I just want to use Shang Zhixin to stabilize him temporarily. After taking Fujian, Lord Lu's next target must be Shang Zhixin! What is lacking is just an excuse. This excuse, you gave me, my lord.  Prince Lu, it is equivalent to avenging our soldiers!"

    Geng Jingzhong was silent again, and after a long time, Geng Jingzhong finally stood up, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Call the Chinese and military officials in the city, bring my seal and the roster of Fujian officers and soldiers, and follow me out of the city to surrender!  Ben Wang, I want to go to Beijing to personally expose Shang Zhixin's child's numerous crimes!"

    Note: In the Qing Dynasty, there were three water-fen gates in Fujian, which were located in Zhangzhou, Funing and Jianning.  (To be continued.

 Chapter 418 A Letter to Pope Clement X (External Chapter)

    ?

    (ps: The long-awaited chapter, the continuous war, the pure wolf is also a little tired, friends, let's change the taste of the day with the pure wolf.)

    Great Monarch of the Vatican, Successor of the Apostle Peter, Representative of Christ on earth, Most Holy Father, His Majesty Pope Clement X, your loyal servant, missionary of Christianity, envoy of the Holy See, joachimbouvet of the Society of Jesus  (Bai Jin), write this letter with excitement, to report to you what I have seen and heard in the mysterious East, and to convey my respect to you for His Royal Highness Prince Lu, to pay homage to God, and to express my respect and love  He truly loves all people and keeps them healthy.

    Your Majesty the Great Pope, in accordance with the will of the Lord and your order, in order to investigate the truth about the murder of a member of the church, Ferdinand Verbiest (Nan Huairen) in the capital of the Qing Empire, and to spread the Gospel of the Lord to the people in the East, and to convey Your Majesty the Pope¡¯s respect for the Great  Greetings from Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, I set off from Brest in France in 1673, passed through Siam (Thailand) and arrived in Macau in December 1675, and set foot on the mysterious China  land.

    Unfortunately, after I arrived in Macau, the local church members told me that several princes in southern China had set off an unprecedented rebellion in the year 1670 of Jesus Era, and the Emperor Kangxi who once paid tribute to you had also been killed by a  The prince named Yifeng Lu was captured on the battlefield and sentenced to death. Now China has fallen into great chaos. Various princes are constantly fighting for the control of Chinese land. Prince Yifeng Lu has also captured the Qing Dynasty.  The capital, drove the grandmother and successor of Emperor Kangxi back to the desolate land in Northeast China. There are two emperors in the current Chinese emperor, one is the Great Zhou Emperor recognized by Prince Lu, and the other is the successor of Emperor Kang  Emperor Qianlong, but neither of these two emperors gained the power to rule China. The most powerful in China now is Prince Yifeng Lu.

    I was at a loss for a while and didn¡¯t know what to do next. Later, the Chinese priest Wen Zao Luo told me to go to Beijing to meet Prince Lu. He is willing to go with me, because as far as Father Luo knows, the control of Chinese land  Most of the power of the Great Zhou court is actually in the hands of Prince Lu. When we negotiate with Prince Lu, it is equivalent to negotiating with the Great Zhou court. As long as Prince Lu agrees, we can allow the spread of the Lord¡¯s gospel on Chinese land  , Let the people of the East return to the embrace of the Lord.

    The Dutch in Macau objected to the proposal of Father Luo, and they told me that Prince Lu was a pagan pagan, a greedy oriental usurer, and a cruel executioner, because Prince Lu defeated the Dutch fleet at the mouth of the Yangtze River.  , brutally killed the Dutch navy commander Porter, snatched the Dutch warships, cut off all trade with the Netherlands, and refused to fulfill the promise of Emperor Kangxi to give Taiwan to the Dutch, and even issued a privateer to the Chinese pirates.  A license to allow Chinese ships to rob and attack all Dutch ships they encountered at sea in retaliation for the Dutch support of Emperor Kangxi.  Therefore, the Dutch believe that Prince Lu is a follower of Satan, the messenger of hell, who will send all Christians to the guillotine.

    I decided to go to Beijing to try my luck, because the businessman of Great Britain told me that Prince Lu is a kind and kind prince, he appreciates and likes the culture of Europa very much, and is also willing to start a comprehensive trade with Europa, exporting opium which is scarce in Europe to Europa  , to help Europe reduce the price of opium, so that more Europeans can obtain the gift of God to mankind.  All the opium produced on the land was sold to Europe, lowering the price of opium in Europe.

    The British businessman also excitedly told me that Prince Lu can still converse and write in British. Although the grammar of Prince Lu¡¯s British is very strange, it is indeed Great British!  my God!  I was so excited, because although I am French, I happen to know some British and can converse in British, so despite the strong opposition of the Dutch, I finally boarded the boat bound for Ningbo with Father Luo.  Sailing, and arrived in Ningbo on May 12, 1676 in the era of Jesus, and delivered a letter to Prince Lu's army stationed there, requesting to go to Beijing to meet Prince Lu.

    Prince Lu¡¯s army was very friendly. After confirming that I was not Dutch, they quickly sent my letter to Nanjing. A month later, Prince Lu¡¯s army in Ningbo told me that Prince Lu had agreed to meet me and arranged  Give me the boat and entourage, let me go north along the great canal dug in China a thousand years ago, and go to Beijing to meet Prince Lu.

    Your Majesty the Pope, I believe you will not believe what I saw on the way to Beijing. In my imagination, the northern part of China that has just experienced war must be full of dead bodies, plagues and dilapidated houses everywhere.  but I can't believe itHe died of illness, but after reading this letter, the successor Pope Innocent XI was still so excited that he ran to the Roman church in the Vatican to hold a mass, praying for our respected Prince Lu to unify China as soon as possible and let the Lord  The Gospel spread freely in the mysterious land of China.  At the same time, according to the request of Prince Lu, His Majesty the Pope organized a large number of missionaries who were proficient in Western science to go to China to spread the Gospel of the Lord, and the plan to take back the right of patronage in East Asia from the Portuguese and bestow it on Prince Lu also appeared in  into the mind of His Majesty the Pope.

    At the same time, after receiving the letter sent by Father Bai, the Sun King Louis XIV was also very excited, thinking that a great opportunity for himself to enter East Asia had appeared, and he couldn't wait to form a team composed of French officials, generals, court scientists and court priests.  A large group of envoys rushed to China by boat to meet Prince Lu, to discuss the plan to form an alliance with Prince Lu against the sea coachmen, and to discuss matters such as expanding maritime trade and trying to monopolize China's foreign opium trade.

    Father Bai is a great priest who kept his promise. Prince Lu asked him to invite Mr. Newton to travel to China. Of course, Father Bai did not break his promise. When Father Bai¡¯s letter was successfully delivered to the Royal Academy of Sciences, he has received similar letters twice  Sir Newton was finally tempted and began to seriously consider China's plan to spread theology and science, and tried to put it into action.

 Chapter 419

    ?

    (ps: Thanks to the friends of 'Vampire Duke x' for your enthusiastic support, and also to all the new and old friends for your enthusiastic support. The book is almost finished, but the chaste wolf is reluctant to part with you.)

    In all fairness, no matter in the original history or in the history changed by Fatty Lu, Prince Geng Jingzhong is a very unlucky, sad and shining anti-Qing righteous man.  It's not bad to describe our Prince Geng.

    In the original San Francisco Rebellion in history, our Prince Geng was the anti-Qing force who wiped out the mite Qing executioners on the battlefield, second only to the old traitor Wu, far better than Taiwan Zheng Jun, who is known as the most staunch anti-Qing  , compared to the traitorous father and son of the old man Shang, who was completely against the Qing Dynasty, it was even more powerful.  But it is a pity that Prince Geng was extremely unlucky to meet Kang Mazi, who was as lucky as a god, and even more unlucky to meet Zheng Jing, a pig who can only fight civil wars and desperately treat hard-core traitors.  The same ally was forced to surrender in the end, and was tricked into Beijing by Kang Mazi and executed Ling Chi, and his two sons were also beheaded, and he was angrily scolded by Qing Shishu as "ugly and vulgar" and "sinister temperament".

    The vicious uglification of Qing Dynasty history books is actually a fair evaluation of Prince Geng's anti-Qing achievements, the greatest affirmation.  Although Prince Geng was sorry for his hard-core traitor father Geng Jimao and grandfather Geng Zhongming, who were typical unfilial descendants, Prince Geng had at least done something worthy of his compatriots.

    In the history of Lord Lu¡¯s changes, our Lord Geng¡¯s performance is actually equally dazzling. Because of Lord Geng¡¯s strong restraint, the weak Wu army was able to break through the Yangtze River¡¯s natural moat and seized the strategic initiative;  Kang Mazi emptied the Qing army in the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, and Fatty Lu got the opportunity to take control of the south of the Yangtze River; at the same time, it was because Prince Geng took the overall situation into consideration, he did not transfer the main force back to Fujian to fight the civil war with his pig-like ally, Prince Zheng Jing, to stand for him.  The unstable Fatty Army held back the main force of the Qing Army in Zhejiang, and won precious time for the Fatty Army to gain a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River.  It can be said that Fatty Lu and Fatty Army were able to rise rapidly, and Lord Geng was the behind-the-scenes hero comparable to old Wu.

    Later, Prince Geng and the Qing Army joined forces to attack Fatty Lu. From the perspective of the Fatty Army, it was indeed an unforgivable crime. But from an objective point of view, the biggest responsibility for Prince Geng and the Fatty Army was Lu  Fatty - the selfish Fatty Lu didn't want to provide food, grass and military supplies to Prince Geng at all. Prince Geng's envoy molested Fatty Lu's fianc¨¦e, but it was just an excuse to send Fatty Lu and Prince Geng to quarrel.  At that time, if Fatty Lu could take care of the overall anti-Qing situation, be less selfish and win Prince Geng, who is economically weak, Fatty Jun and Geng Jun would never turn against each other, and Fatty Jun would not be in the dilemma of being surrounded by enemies later.

    At the same time, the facts also proved the gap between Prince Geng and Prince Zheng. Prince Zheng, who was treated kindly by Fatty Lu, did not have the slightest sense of repaying his kindness.  Helping hands, seeing death at a dangerous moment, the money, food, weapons and land that Fatty Lu gave him can be regarded as feeding the dogs.  So although Fatty Lu didn't say anything, he hated Lord Zheng in his heart, but in fact he hated Prince Geng a hundred times deeper than Lord Geng. Deliberately letting Prince Geng's main force withdraw to Fujian was also the first step in revenge against Prince Zheng.

    Whether it is merit or demerit is subject to public evaluation by future generations, but in any case, with some vitality still remaining and the power to fight, Prince Geng chose to surrender to Fatty's army, decided to accept Fatty Lu's conditions for withdrawing from the feudal domain and handed over  Territory and military power, although there are selfish factors of greed for life and fear of death and objective reasons of helplessness, but for Fujian compatriots, Lord Geng has made a great contribution to Fu, saving countless Fujian compatriots from the suffering of civil war,  The precious lives of countless Fujian soldiers were saved, and at the same time, the situation on the southern front of the Fat Army was instantly clear, and the advantage of the Fat Army became more obvious.

    On the second day of August, Geng Jingzhong led civil and military officials to open the north gate of Fuzhou, and presented the official seal and the register of officers and soldiers to Li Tianzhi, the general of the Fatty Army.  Publicly showed Fatty Lu's Jun decree, and canonized Geng Jingzhong as Duke Shunyi of Dazhou; he also issued a military order that the fat man who took over the city defense of Fuzhou was not allowed to harm any of the soldiers or civilians in the city, let alone take any property in the city, and allowed Geng Jingzhong  He brought his family property and went to live in Beijing with his wife, children, and children. All the officials of Geng Fan stayed in their original posts, and the officers and soldiers of Geng Army received a one-month salary increase.  Geng Jun was very grateful, and the hearts of the people were determined.

    Immediately afterwards, after receiving Geng Jingzhong's order to surrender, Shaowu, Yongchun, and Xinghua, which were still under the control of Geng's army, all put down their weapons and opened the city gates to surrender to the Fatty Army.  Due to Yue's kind treatment, General Zeng Yangxing, who was surrounded by Fatty Army, Shang Zhixin Army, and Zheng Jun in Longyan on three sides, did not make a dying struggle. He chose to surrender to Fatty Army Wang Jinwu's Department and accepted Wang Jinwu's command.

    &Li Tianzhi of the palace, and Shang Wanyi who is not used to being called a princess and who happened to have a relationship with Fatty Lu in Fujian, were inevitably full of emotions, and tears flowed as they looked at each other.

    Choked up in front of Li Tianzhi for a long time, Shang Wanyan finally hoarse voice, and asked Li Tianzhi with tears in her eyes: "Is he, okay?"

    "Him?" Li Tianzhi was stunned at first, then quickly came to his senses, wiped away his tears and replied: "Back to the princess, I haven't seen the prince for more than two years, but the general has sent letters to the prince many times to say hello, the prince  They all answered that they are in good health, so that the general does not have to worry, and please don't worry about the princess, you will be able to meet the prince again soon."

    "He's good, that's good." Shang Wanzhen nodded slowly, and suddenly, without Fatty Lu's teasing, she suddenly smiled, and asked Li Tianzhi with a smile: "General Tianzhi, back then you and that fat man escorted the  When I went to the capital and passed through Fujian, did I ever think that that fat man would have today? Have you ever thought that you can also have today, leading troops to Fujian for that fat man, and taking care of those things that were done to you and the fat man back then?  The flamboyant princes and dignitaries beat all over the floor, forcing them to kowtow to the fat man?"

    "At that time, the general didn't even dream about it." Li Tianzhi replied honestly: "The general was expelled from the Pingnan Palace at that time, and the reason why he chose to join the prince was indeed because the general felt that the prince was definitely not someone in the pool.  , following the prince, the general will definitely have a day when he will be proud of himself¡ªbut the general never dreamed that the prince could rise to this level, let alone imagine that the general himself could be so proud.  Prince Geng, who doesn't even have to look at the last general, will kneel and surrender to the last general."

    Speaking of this, Li Tianzhi also showed a smile on his face, and saluted Shang Wanyi and said: "Thanks to the concubine, I will meet the prince in the end, and thanks to the concubine, I will make the most correct choice in life.  "Speaking, Li Tianzhi pointed at Prince Shang's confidants Zhang Yongxiang brothers who nodded and bowed in the distance with flattering faces, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, the last general must be like them now, bowing his knees here to pay respects to the other generals of the prince.  "

    Shang Wanyan laughed again, and couldn't help murmuring in a low voice: "Your choice at that time was the most correct choice in your life. What about my choice at that time? Was it right? Or was it wrong?"

    Li Tianzhi didn't dare to speak anymore, and he understood Shang Wanyi's thoughts to some extent. When Fatty Lu was in his infancy, Shang Wanyi did not hesitate to leave his parents and be expelled from the genealogy in order to choose Fatty Lu.  Now that Fatty Lu is famous and even has power in the world, but Shang Wanyi is deprived of the qualifications of Fatty Lu's official wife because of his family background and the burden of his father and brother, and his son is also taken hostage by Fatty Lu's enemies. Fatty Lu's glory is almost  I didn't touch a little bit, but Shang Wanyi had to bear all the hardships that a wife should share. The fate is so miserable that Li Tianzhi, an outsider who knows what happened before and after, doesn't know whether Shang Wanyi's choice back then was right or wrong.  up.

    Fortunately, Shang Wanyi did not continue on this question. After wiping away the tears on her thin cheeks, Shang Wanyi whispered to Li Tianzhi: "General Tianzhi, can I ask you something?"

    "Princess, please tell me." Li Tianzhi hurriedly stood up.

    "No, it's not an order." Shang Wanzhen shook her head slowly, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "I'm begging, I know, the fat man will not let my father and my brother go, attack Guangdong, and wipe out the Pingnan Palace  , sooner or later he will entrust you with a mission. I also know that my father deliberately wronged you when he drove you away, using you as a scapegoat to cover up the scandal of his two sons fighting for power by killing their sister. You are very innocent.  It is also very wronged."

    "Marry a chicken as a chicken, and marry a dog as a dog. Although I don't want to object to the fat man doing this, but, as a daughter of the Shang family, I want to ask you to treat us in the future for the sake of our Shang family's raising you.  Let the Shang family be merciful, my father has been sick for a year and has not left his bed, don't let him be a fat prisoner and suffer those humiliations, give him a happy time."

    "The general understands, please rest assured, the princess." Li Tianzhi nodded solemnly, and said in a low voice: "If there is such a day, the general will never let the prince be humiliated again. What about the eldest prince, princess, do you have any orders?"

    "Him?" Shang Wanyan smiled sadly, and said with a helpless expression: "He is still thinking about cutting the meat from the fat man and dividing the territory from the fat man. How could the fat man tolerate him?  Pleading for him will only hurt you, if possible, if you can leave him a whole body, I will be satisfied."

    Li Tianzhi pursed his lips and nodded solemnly, "Princess, please rest assured, I will remember it in the end." (To be continued.

 Chapter 420 Internal Problems

    ?

    When the Fat Man Army on the southern front led by Li Tianzhi was fighting in full swing on the Fujian-Guangdong battlefield, the Fat Man Army on other fronts were not idle either.  Either to kill the remnants of the enemy, or to deter potential opponents, or to support the most intense Fujian-Guangdong battlefield from the side.

    On the Northeast battlefield, in order to completely exterminate the most evil enemy, the Qing court, but this mortal enemy had a chance to breathe.  The Fatty Liaodong Army led by Jie had already launched an attack on the remnants of the Qing army occupying Jinzhou. At the same time, Gao Dejie resolutely carried out the vicious plan that Fatty Lu personally formulated to consume the strength of the Qing Dynasty. He was not in a hurry to break through it with superior artillery  Jinzhou only surrounded Jinzhou and engaged in garrisoning the fields, and engaged in horse herding in the adjacent Daling River Ranch, assuming a resolute posture of besieging the more than 10,000 remnants of the Qing army in Jinzhou City.

    The importance of Jinzhou, which is located in the throat of Liaodong, is self-evident. If Jinzhou falls, Shengjing, the new and old nest of the Qing court, will be exposed directly to the fat man's saber.  Letters came to ask for help from both ends of the day, and the old hag Xiaozhuang, who is politically talented but lacking in military affairs, really fell for it. First, she borrowed an army from Horqin's family in Mongolia and rushed to Jinzhou for reinforcements, but was defeated by Gao Dejie; the old hag Xiaozhuang refused.  Reluctant to give up, more than 30,000 Qing troops were assembled from Mongolia's natal family, Tungus' hometown, Liaodong local area, and Korean vassal states, and handed over to General Ningguta Bahai, who went south to rescue Jinzhou again.

    In view of the fact that Bahai had fought against the Russian musketeers and hadn't lost¡ªnor had he won, Gao Dejie, the number one general of the Fat Man Army, didn't dare to underestimate this opponent.  Knowing the details of the Bahai Army, and finding out the weaknesses of the Bahai Army's mixed camps and complex composition, they formulated countermeasures according to local conditions, assigned 10,000 troops to their deputy Gao Qi, and asked Gao Qi to divide the 10,000 troops.  Twenty teams, each with 500 people, ambushed in Yiwu Mountain, north of the east bank of the Daling River. Gao Dejie himself led the main force to garrison on the west bank of the Daling River, and built more pontoon bridges to cross the river.

    When the Bahai Navy arrived at the Daling River, just as Gao Dejie expected, seeing the main force of the fat man stationed on the west bank, Bahai did not dare to cross the river immediately, and chose to camp on the east bank of the Daling River to rest. As a result, as soon as it got dark, Gao Qi  The ambush soldiers led by them rushed out from the Yiwu Mountain, and the soldiers were divided into twenty groups to attack the Qing army's camp from all directions. In the dark night, the Qing army did not know how many enemies came.  Disturb your own camp.  Gao Dejie took the opportunity to drive the main force across the river from the pontoon bridge, and stormed the Qing army's camp head-on.  The more than 30,000 Qing troops assembled by the old hag Zhuang with countless painstaking efforts were wiped out, and more than half of them surrendered.

    When the news came back to Shengjing, the old hag of Xiaozhuang vomited blood and almost kicked her legs on the spot. Gao Dejie, who was expected to be unable to reinforce the Qing army, calmly returned to the army and launched a battle to attack the city of Jinzhou. Hundreds of artillery bombarded day and night,  The Jinzhou defenders suffered heavy casualties. The mite soldiers who were not evil slaves of the four surnames escaped from the city of Jinzhou and surrendered to the Fat Army.  Just like Zhang Tai, the army pardoned himself, the unlucky child of Tong Jia's family.  Gao Dejie not only flatly refused, but also escorted Tong Guowei's envoys to Jinzhou City, and announced Tong Guowei's surrender conditions to the evil slaves of the four surnames in Jinzhou City.

    Hearing that Tong Guowei planned to kill all the evil slaves of the four surnames in Jinzhou City in exchange for their lives, the more than a thousand evil slave soldiers of the four surnames who resisted the most resolutely in Jinzhou City were of course furious. They launched a mutiny and beheaded the traitor Tong Guowei.  The soldiers of the other surnames and the traitors took the opportunity to escape from the city and surrender to the Fatty Army. They also offered the East Gate of Jinzhou to the Fatty Army. The Fatty Army sent troops into the city.  The evil slaves of the four surnames killed all of them, and won Jinzhou, the bridgehead for attacking Shengjing.

    Originally, Gao Dejie wanted to take advantage of the momentum to attack Shengjing, but the weather is not good. This year's climate is cold. The time has just entered the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and the land in Liaodong has already dropped severely.  It was extremely cold, which was not conducive to the battle of the Fatty Army, which had a large number of soldiers in the south, so we had to temporarily stop advancing troops. At the same time, we went to Fatty Lu to explain the reason and asked to postpone the plan to attack Shengjing.  Attack Shengjing again.  Fatty Lu, who was also worried about the unfavorable weather for fighting, of course gave his permission, and the Qing court finally won another winter's lingering time at dusk and Xishan.

    The northern Jiangxi battlefield is the only battlefield where the Fatty Army is on the defensive. In order to slow down the expansion of the Fatty Army and encircle Wei and rescue Zhao to support the Fujian-Guangdong battlefield, the Honghua Imperial Army launched an active attack on the Jiujiang and Nanchang defense lines of the Fatty Army.??Agreed, in order to preserve their power status and vested interests, even if Fatty Lu is not the emperor, they will definitely put the dragon robe on Fatty Lu¡ªotherwise, once Wu Shifan becomes their emperor, they will not talk about power  If you can't keep your interests, your head will be in danger!

    It is also because of this that as the foothold in the north gradually stabilizes, the advantage of the Fat Army is getting bigger and bigger, and the voices of the Fat Army in support of Lu Fatty's proclaiming the emperor are also getting louder.  , asking Fatty Lu to change his name and name, and become the emperor. Even Wang Xu, who has always been honest and honest, couldn't help but write a letter of persuasion, asking Fatty Lu to make a living for the people of the world, and serve the people of Li as a cow and a horse as an emperor.  As for private and local speculators, the letter of persuasion asking Fatty Lu to become emperor is even more overwhelming.

    It's a pity that our Prince Lu is a rare loyal minister and filial son, with cultivation, ideals, and qualities. The powerful will not be flattered, the powerful will not be attached to the powerful, the alluring will not be respected, the ugly will not be shy, and the strong  Don't be afraid of them, don't bully the weak, be friends with the good, abandon them if you like the bad, respect them when they are older, shelter them when they are young, live in peace for the people, perform their duties if they are officials, do not lose their righteousness when they are poor, and never deviate from the Dao  , Bearing the weight of the old traitor Wu's support, and the kindness of the old traitor Wu, how could he do the thing of usurping the descendants of the traitor Wu?  So no matter how others tried to persuade him, Lord Lu's answer was always the same, "No! This king can't do anything to offend Taizu Emperor Gao!"

    Fatty Lu wants face and reputation and refuses to usurp the throne, but the rich and powerful and vested interests in the Fatty Army don't care so much. For their own interests, they will not be deprived in the future.  One day, when all the civil and military officials of Fatty's army went to Wuying Hall to congratulate Fatty Lu on the new year, a major event that shocked the world happened

    "What are you doing? What do you want to do?!"

    Fatty Lu was terrified like a young girl surrounded by hundreds of perverts, staring at the dragon robes held in the hands of the officials and yelling.  Smiling grimly, he held a bright yellow dragon robe in front of Fatty Lu, kowtowed and said in unison: "The king of Yue Debu is everywhere, benevolence reaches all things, surpasses the past and surpasses the present, ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, conforms to the heart of heaven above, and conforms to the will of the people below.  What a blessing to the living beings! What a blessing to the ministers! The ministers respectfully invite the prince, who is the emperor, to take the throne!"

    "Qing and others want to become unfaithful and unrighteous people?" Fatty Lu shouted out the sentences he had memorized long ago.

    "No way!" Mu Tianyan kowtowed and said, "Wu Shifan was born to a sinful woman of the mite chieftain, and he lived his life. It is God's grace, how can he steal the throne again? The king of Yue is an orthodox descendant of Huaxia, and it is reasonable to inherit the throne!"

    "Although this king is a descendant of China, he has no virtue to spread to the people. Now, once he becomes emperor himself, how is it different from usurping?" Fatty Lu still firmly refused.

    "My lord, if you don't ascend to the throne, I will die in front of you!" Jin Zhen, who had already been appointed as the official of Yue Wangfu Cao Yuanwai, took the lead, jumping up to commit suicide by bumping into the palace pillar, and several sycophants followed suit, all standing up and charging  Going to the side of the palace pillar, he threatened that if Fatty Lu did not ascend to the throne for the happiness of the common people in the world, they would all die in front of Fatty Lu.  There were also countless civil and military officials wailing loudly, desperately grabbing land with their heads, begging Fatty Lu to be the emperor of the common people.

    The attitude of the ministers was so firm, in fact, Fatty Lu, who was really caught off guard, had no choice but to say: "My dear family, it's not that this king will live up to your expectations, it's just that this king has been well received by Emperor Taizu Gao.  It's really too heartless to usurp Zhou's self-reliance because of the kindness and the importance of the orphan - so, please give me another year and a half from the Qing family.  In the Hall of Martial Arts, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

    "Why did your lord wait for a year and a half?" Fatty's military officials looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in Fatty Lu's gourd?  At that moment, another Fatty Army official spoke up, asking Fatty Lu not to delay, to take the throne immediately.

    "I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me any more." Fatty Lu replied resolutely, "I'll wait and see for another year and a half. If within a year and a half, Emperor Honghua still doesn't cultivate morality and become unpopular,  No one has the blessing of the king, so that the four directions continue to be chaotic! Then I have my own plan! If Emperor Honghua can rein in the precipice and change his past mistakes, he will be kind to the world and benefit the people. I will welcome the long live back with all my strength, please Emperor Honghua  All in the capital!"

    "What exactly is the prince planning to do? Do you still want to use the will to appease the Wu clan's team? Killing those people should be less dangerous than recruiting them? Besides, if those people could be recruited, they would have recruited them long ago?  " Fatty's army, civil and military officials were even more puzzled, but seeing Fatty Lu's resolute attitude, they had no choice but to kowtow and agree.

    "One and a half years later, what method will be used to plant the spoils?" Fatty Lu pondered, "Is it okay to entrust the dream? It should be possible. The old man Wu raped the entrusted dream to me, and then put the shit basin on Wu Shifan's head.  I have nothing to say." (To be continued.

 Chapter 421

    ?

    Although I temporarily rejected the suggestion of the dog legs to instigate myself to become emperor, the persuasion of the officials of the fat army also reminded Fatty Lu of two things. First, the dignitaries of the fat army are already very dissatisfied with the current political situation.  He is anxious to consolidate his vested interests, and the second is that Fatty Lu must speed up his efforts to appease the middle forces he can win over. Otherwise, the political value of Old Man Wu's traitorous edict will really expire and become invalid.

    With this in mind, on the second day of the first lunar month, Fatty Lu summoned Wang Pingfan's deputy Wu Zhen and Wang Pingfan's adopted son at the Desheng Gate in the northwest of Beijing's inner city, taking the opportunity of condolences to the Fatty Army and the family members of Lao Pingxi Palace.  Wang Jizhen made a promise to them face to face, pointing to the Desheng Gate under her feet and swearing in public, unless the majestic Desheng Gate collapsed on its own, she would never usurp the throne and become emperor!  If you repent and break your promise, the sky will hate it, the earth will hate it, and you will die under swords and arrows!

    Finally, Fatty Lu announced that he would give Wang Fuchen and Wang Pingfan the two houses in the Zan'er Hutong next to Deshengmen, so that after their families entered Beijing, they would personally monitor whether they reneged on their promises and cheated!  ¡ª¡ªTo be precise, it is to monitor whether Fatty Lu has sent someone to dig up Tade Shengmen to create momentum for himself to seek rebellion and usurp the throne.

    It is true that Wang Pingfan and Wang Fuchen are loyal to Old Man Wu, but they are not from the Wu clan, and their hostility, suspicion and suspicion towards Fatty Lu are naturally not as big and deep as that of the Wu clan.  Wu Zhen and Wang Jizhen immediately felt relieved, and they agreed to urge Wang Pingfan and Wang Fuchen to accept the canonization of Fatty Lu and lead the army to surrender.  For his loyalty, he urged the Wu clan to lead their troops to surrender as soon as possible, and join forces with Zhou Dongliang and the first loyal minister Lu Fatzi to exterminate Guo Zhuangtu's rebels.

    Of course, it was easy for Fatty Lu to swear in front of old Wu¡¯s cunning hardcore lackeys, and he said it beautifully and happily, but the few fatty Lu¡¯s lackeys who were present at the time were very anxious, and just sent Wu Zhen and Wang Jizhen away  Then, the lackeys challenged Fatty Lu together, accusing Fatty Lu of saying such a thing and making such an oath¡ªeven if he should not swear in the future, when Fatty Lu usurps the throne and proclaims himself emperor in the future, he will make an extra infamy out of thin air.

    "What's the rush? I just swore that I would not usurp the throne, and I didn't swear that my descendants would not usurp the throne." Fatty Lu's answer made the lackeys heave a sigh of relief. For a while, they suspected that Fatty Lu was planning to follow Wei Wu and Zhou Wen, and that he would not be the emperor.  Son, but Fatty Lu's next words made the running dogs dumbfounded.

    Fatty Lu said with a smile like this, "Besides, if the fate is in Gu, and God must let Gu be the emperor, then this Deshengmen will naturally be overthrown by God."  ¡ª¡ªYou can¡¯t doubt that the fate cannot belong to Fatty Lu, can you?

    But not to mention, in this era of superstitious superstition and chaotic gods and respect for etiquette, Fatty Lu's casual oath really received some results. When Wu Zhen brought the news back to Xi'an, Wang Pingfan, who had long been willing to surrender, no longer  Hesitating, he immediately sent envoys to contact the fat army generals Han Daren and Xie Chang stationed in Tongguan, and asked Han Daren and Xie Chang to send troops to take over Xi'an, and then followed Ma Bao to lead more than 40,000 people from his troops to join the fat army and accept the reorganization of the fat army.  Ping Fan himself led his family members and important generals to Beijing to accept the canonization of Fatty Lu face to face. The overjoyed Fatty Lu went out of the city thirty miles to greet him without mentioning it.

    There is also Wang Fuchen, since Wang Pingfan has surrendered to the Fatty Army, there is no danger for Wang Fuchen's rear, but fortunately, Wang Fuchen has broken through Lanzhou at this time, beheaded the hardcore traitor Zhang Yong, and captured Zhao Liangdong and his sons Zhao Hongcan and Zhao Hongxie alive  , Completed Fatty Lu's entrustment to him.  With peace in mind, Wang Fuchen ordered Zhao Liangdong and his son to be escorted to the capital to dedicate to Fatty Lu, and at the same time carefully put forward the conditions of surrender, using the pretext of the Ordos Mongolian tribe's rebellion and Geldan's eye-catching eyes, and hoped that the army would not be reorganized. Wang Fuchen himself stayed in Lanzhou  , only sent his son and his family to Beijing as hostages.

    Fatty Lu's answer was beyond Wang Fuchen's expectations. He not only agreed to Wang Fuchen's request not to reorganize and stay in Lanzhou, but also offered to keep Wang Fuchen's family members in Gansu under the pretext of the war and the danger of the road, and named Wang Fuchen Gan Ning.  The governor is also in charge of Ningxia. At the same time, Fatty Lu added 10,000 troops to Wang Fuchen's team with a swipe of the pen, allowing Wang Fuchen to have 43,000 troops in Gansu.  When the news was sent back to Lanzhou, Wang Fuchen was overjoyed, and immediately led the army to change flags, announcing that he would accept the command of Fatty Lu.

    Of course, Fatty Lu's decision caused a lot of controversy. Many civil and military officials of the Fatty Army believed that Wang Fuchen was capricious, and he did not withdraw military power or reorganize the army.  According to Bao's strategy, he transferred Wang Fuchen back to Beijing to listen to him, reorganized Wang Fuchen's team, and put the reliable fat generals in charge of Gansu and Ningxia.

    "Being a person and doing things, you must not be born  "Yao Qisheng nodded in agreement, and then asked: "My lord, do you want to give him an edict in advance like you did to Geng Jingzhong for Shang Zhixin, as long as he is willing to surrender, surrender the army and land, and give him a free time?"  Raise it?  And your father-in-law Shang Kexi, what should we do?  "

    "No!" Fatty Lu refused with a wave of his hand, and snorted coldly, "I raised Geng Jingzhong with Xianjuehoulu because Geng Jingzhong had truly fought against the Qing and killed Mangou, and he deserved credit for his compatriots and China!  What did Shang Zhixin, the child monk, Kexi, have ever done? Donated one million taels of silver to Kang Mazi as military pay, feigned surrender to the Great Zhou court to protect the traitors and Man Gou in Guangdong, deliberately let go of Man Gou in Guangzhou Mite City, and deliberately did not clean them  Hard-core traitors in the local government and the army in Guangdong, which one of these crimes deserves death?!"

    "Tell Li Tianzhi, after the capture of Guangzhou, the Pingnan Palace will not be left behind! All property and land will be confiscated! Don't give me face!" Fatty Lu said darkly: "If Li Tianzhi can't get rid of the old feelings, you can take my  Give the massacre order to Zeng Yangxing or Ma Jiuyu, let Zeng Yangxing and Ma Jiuyu avenge their comrade Bai Xianzhong!"

 Chapter 422 Fatty Fatty

    ?

    Fatty Lu's crowed words again, seeing the defeat of Fatty's army in Magang Hall, coupled with the instigation of Guo Zhuangtu and Zheng Jing, Shang Zhixin, who had long been full of resentment and dissatisfaction with Fatty Lu, finally couldn't hold back,  He resolutely joined the great, bright and just anti-Lu alliance, accepted the new firearm reinforcement provided by Guo Zhuangtu, and sent troops to attack Chaozhou Prefecture, the enclave of the fat army in Guangzhou, opening a new chapter in the anti-Lu alliance's counterattack.

    Lord Shang turned his back on the water much earlier than Fatty Lu expected. On February 23rd, the Fatty Army suffered the biggest defeat in history at the Magang Hall.  This day was delivered to Fatty Lu. Fatty Lu realized that the situation was not good, and immediately used six hundred miles to warn Li Tianzhi, Liu Jinzhong, Du Guochen and other generals on the southern front, asking them to be careful of Lord Shang's sneak attack, and not to repeat what happened in the Magang Hall.  The same mistake¡ªbut what Fatty Lu never imagined in his dreams was that in fact, on the first day he received the Tang newspaper, Lord Shang, who hated Fatty's army to the bone, had already made a move.

    Lord Shang's surprise attack was both sudden and covert. The main force of King Shang's army led by Wang Guodong was stationed in Ping County, Jiaying Prefecture, which is less than two hundred miles away from Chaozhou Prefecture.  After finding out the details of the Chaozhou Fatty Army, knowing that the main force of the Chaozhou Fatty Army had been brought to Longyan by Liu Jinzhong, and that there were not many troops left in the enclave of Chaozhou Mansion, Lord Shang made an agreement with Zheng Jing to send a partial division  Pretending to attack Fenshui Pass, the gate of Chaozhou, Lord Shang took the opportunity to ask Du Guochen, the Chaozhou defender of the fat army, if he needed reinforcements?  Du Guochen didn't know what to do, and was worried about the lack of troops, so he immediately agreed.

    The next thing was simple. Wang Guodong led five thousand Shang Wangjun to Huanggang under the pretext of reinforcements at Fenshui Pass, and invited Du Guochen, the fat general of the army, to the camp to discuss matters of cooperation and defense. Du Guochen readily obeyed and only brought a small number of soldiers.  Entering the Shangjun camp, Wang Guodong seized the opportunity to capture Du Guochen, threatened Du Guochen to surrender and offered the city, but was rejected, and Du Guochen was brutally killed. Then he immediately sent troops to attack the unsuspecting Fenshui Pass, and successfully captured the pass to meet Zheng Jun  After entering Guangdong, Wang Guodong quickly returned to Chaozhou City, and arrived at the city before the Chaozhou defenders received the bad news.  More than 3,000 fat soldiers and their families, as well as Liu Jinzhong's family members, were also massacred by Wang Guodong. Blood flowed into rivers inside and outside Chaozhou City and Fenshuiguan.  .

    When the news spread, the Fatty Army on the Southern Front, which had suffered two major defeats in a row, was furious. Li Tianzhi was so angry that he immediately ordered the troops to divide into two groups and attack the Zheng Jing troops in Zhangzhou and the Shang Army in Guangdong at the same time.  According to Fatty Lu's crow words, Fatty's army attacked Zheng Jun and Shangjun at the same time, and Zheng Jing and Monk Zhixin, who didn't trust each other very much, united closely and used the new firearms supported by Guo Zhuangtu to resist tenaciously, forcing Fatty to fight against each other.  The army and them consume firearms, and although the fat army still has a certain advantage in one-on-two, it suffers from two-front combat, the supply line is too long, the progress of the war is slow and the consumption is huge, not to mention, it also beats Zheng Jing and monk Zhixin more and more.  The more united.

    Fortunately, Fatty Lu's will arrived in Quanzhou in time, and was handed over to Li Tianzhi, the old running dog. Li Tianzhi, who admired Fatty Lu very much, followed the order and began to adjust the combat strategy on the Fujian-Guangdong battlefield, so that he and the Shang army could not share the same fate.  The enemy Liu Jinzhong, Zeng Yang and Ma Jiuyu joined forces to take a defensive position to resist the Shang army's attack on Fujian. The main forces of the two fat men, Wang Jinwu and Guo Yingfu, were transferred to the Zhangzhou battlefield, and joined forces with Li Tianzhi to concentrate the main force to besiege Zheng Jing.  At the same time, Wu Yonghua, a general of the fat army stationed in Ganzhou, soon sent troops to attack Nanxiong, Guangdong after receiving the bad news from Chaozhou, encircling Wei and saving Zhao to share the pressure for Li Tianzhi.

    Adjusted the tactics of using troops a little bit, and the effect came out immediately. When our Lord Shang saw the fat man's army stop attacking Guangdong, he immediately had the idea of ??watching the fire from the other side like a conditioned reflex, and ordered Wang Guodong to slow down the attack on the fat man's army, and try to avoid fighting hard to save his life  If Fatty Jun and Zheng Jun were to lose both sides, they would come out to pick a bargain. Wang Guodong, who was also not a good guy, immediately followed the order.  In this way, the Fatty Army fighting on the two fronts finally got rid of the predicament, concentrated all their strength to slam Prince Zheng, and used precious firearms against Prince Zheng at any cost, launching one after another modern firearms battles that surpassed the times.

    After three or four firearm battles that cost a lot of money, Lord Zheng, who relied on Guo Zhuangtu's army for support by sea for the new firearms, soon couldn't bear it any longer.  And our Lord Shang, who is good at fighting in the nest, has also begun to flex his muscles. While using the excuse that Wu Yonghua attacked Nanxiong to threaten the hinterland of Guangdong, he refused to send reinforcements, and even refused to launch a large-scale attack to contain the fat army.  Zhuangtu reached out for firearms, and his appetite was much bigger than Prince Zheng's.

    ?The two princes of Zheng and Shang sent a request letter for firearms to Kunming,To be honest, before leaving, my lord has already appointed a small envoy with full authority. As long as you can believe that he has no ambition to usurp the throne, the conditions he put forward will not violate loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, and will not shake or harm the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.  The imperial edict of Emperor Gao, the Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, can be written down in black and white by the emissary for the prince, and everyone in the world should be invited to testify to prove that the prince of my family is loyal to the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.  "

    Chen Renjie's words for Fatty Lu were extremely beautiful, but in fact all the loopholes were tightly closed. For example, Wu Yingchang soon asked suspiciously: "Then we want Lu Yifeng to hand over the military power.  Can it be done?"

    "Of course." Chen Renjie raised his eyebrows, answered very simply, and then asked: "But I have a question, to whom does my prince hand over his military power? Is it you, General Wu Yingchang, or General Wu Guogui? You two, take  After reaching the military power of the Great Zhou, how can we ensure that we will not usurp the throne, seek rebellion, or become emperor? Don¡¯t blame my prince for making things difficult.  Ask that question!"

    Wu Yingchang has nothing to say, let alone that he has found a way to prove that he has no intention of usurping the throne, even if Fatty Lu agrees to this ridiculous condition and really surrenders military power to any Wu clan other than Wu Shifan, then no matter which one  If the Wu clan took over, it would immediately be a catastrophe to destroy the family - how could an army of hundreds of thousands of fat men allow an unknown outsider to replace Fatty Lu?  Can the Wu clan's tens of thousands of troops without food and money in Huguang be able to hold down the hundreds of thousands of wolves and hungry tigers in the fat man's army?

    "Generals, please make a condition." Chen Renjie got cheap and behaved, and urged: "As long as your conditions are reasonable, my prince will definitely agree." (To be continued.

 Chapter 423 Fatty's Poisonous Oath

    ?

    "General Wu, please make a condition. As long as your condition is reasonable, my prince will definitely agree." Chen Renjie's attitude was very sincere, and he asked the heads of several Wu clans with a helpless expression: "What is our prince going to do?  Are you willing to believe that our prince has no ambition to usurp the throne? Do you believe that our prince will not usurp this great Zhou country?"

    Chen Renjie's words thoroughly questioned Wu Guogui, Wu Yingjing and other people, not to mention Wu Yingjing, Wu Yingchang brothers and Wu Guozheng who only like to stab people with knives, even Wu Guogui and Liu Zhifu who are quite educated also frowned.  Knowing what conditions should be put forward, Fatty Lu can prove that he has no ambition to usurp the throne, let alone what Fatty Lu should do, so that we can believe in Fatty Lu's ambitions for the Wu clan.

    "Everyone, General Wu, why don't you talk?" Chen Renjie smiled, and smiled at Wu Guogui: "General President, in fact, as early as when the envoy left Beijing, my prince had predicted that you would not be able to answer this question, and he understood it earlier.  You cannot answer the question why."

    "What's the reason?" Wu Guogui asked in surprise.

    "It's a very simple reason, just two words - selfishness!" Chen Renjie raised two fingers, and said firmly to Wu Guogui: "President General, you are because of selfishness, and you generals are also because of selfishness, so you all suspect  Our lord intends to usurp the Great Zhou throne, so we don¡¯t know what our lord should do, so you believe that our lord has no ambition to usurp the throne!"

    "I have selfish intentions?" Wu Guogui began to bristle with anger.

    "Of course there is! And it's not too small!" Chen Renjie replied loudly: "Our prince sent envoys to contact the general several times, asking the general to carry out the imperial edict of Emperor Gao of the Great Zhou Dynasty, obey our prince's order, and accept our army's reorganization.  General, you refused outright, and even accused the King of Yue of attempting to usurp the throne¡ªGeneral, are you really questioning Lord Lu so much because you are loyal to Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty? No! General, you are afraid, afraid of being deprived of military power by Lord Lu, losing  Power, I am even more afraid of being killed by Lord Lu, and the bird will be hidden, so I came up with such a shameless excuse!"

    "Shameless excuses?!" Wu Guogui jumped up and roared, "Do you have the guts to say it again, I'm shameless?"

    "Isn't it?" Chen Renjie asked back without fear, "General, if you are really loyal to Emperor Taizu, why didn't you follow Emperor Taizu's will and obey King Lu's orders? Even if you really doubt that, General  Lord Lu is trying to usurp the throne in a certain dynasty, you can also follow the order of Emperor Honghua and join Honghua's army to kill the rebels in your mind! But you have not done this, neither follow the last emperor's edict nor obey the current order,  What is the purpose of choosing to support the troops in Huguang, what is the purpose, besides wanting to keep your power and position as a general, and be your emperor in this three-acre land in the south of Huguang and Henan, what else can you do?"

    "I'm here to get rid of Guo Zhuangtu's thief, Lu Yifeng, that little bastard!" Wu Guogui yelled.

    "General, please don't sound so nice, okay?" Chen Renjie replied loudly: "In your current situation, how can you eradicate Guo Zhuangtu's dog thief? Knowing that it can't be done, you can do it with tens of thousands of dollars.  The lives of the generals of Zhou were a trifling matter, leaving hundreds of thousands of Jingxiang people in a sea of ??misery, and the people were in dire straits! Whether you want to repay the great kindness of Emperor Taizu, or want to support your own self-respect, when you are the emperor of Huguang, you know it in your heart!  "

    "Bold thief, dare to insult my brother like this?" Wu Guozheng became furious, drew out his knife and shouted: "Don't think that you are sent by Lu Yifeng, we dare not kill you!"

    "Three generals, you are not a good person! These are the exact words of Lord Lu!" Chen Renjie roared louder, pointing at Wu Yingjing and Wu Yingchang brothers: "You two generals are also selfish!  It is also the exact words of Lord Lu! As members of the Wu family, you openly rebelled against the Honghua court because you were afraid of losing your glory, wealth, power and status, and you were even more afraid that Guo Zhuangtu's rebels would kill Wu's family members! For the second prince  Revenge, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty punishes power and treachery, it is just an excuse for you to fight for power and profit, fig leaf!"

    "All of you!" The more Chen Renjie spoke, the more excited he became, he circled Wu Guogui and the others with his hands, and said loudly: "The reason why you refuse to follow the late emperor's edict, and why you suspect that Lord Lu is trying to usurp the throne is also  Your selfishness is causing trouble, and you judge others by yourself, so you doubt Lord Lu so much! You are afraid that Lord Lu will take over the power after he unifies the world, and will take away your glory, wealth, power and position, and you are even more afraid that Lord Lu will follow Guo Guo in order to usurp the throne.  Zhuangtu will kill you all!"

    "It is because of your selfishness that you would rather hide on this three-acre land in Huguang and be your soil emperor, and be your soil prince, than obey the heavens and obey others.  If you don't rescue the people of Li, they will be in dire straits, and lead the army of Dazhou?Go and split them, and push those recalcitrant Wu clansmen to the opposite of us!  I only want Tao Jizhi, Liu Zhifu, and Yang Laijia who are not Wu's clan generals who can be won, and Wu Yingjing and Wu Yingchang who are the hardcore members of the old Wu family. What do I want to do?  Give yourself trouble?  !  "

    ? Yao Qisheng, Zhu Fangdan and the others were stunned, and after a while they wiped off their cold sweat together, and said respectfully: "My lord is holy."

    "Hurry up and have a discussion." Fatty Lu ordered again: "Let's discuss, what should we do, so that the Wu clan in Huguang suspects that Wu Guogui has betrayed the old Wu family, and is going to put my son-in-law on the throne and help him behind the scenes?"  Xia Guoxiang and Guo Zhuangtu?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

 Chapter 424

    ?

    Fatty Lu issued an order, ordering all states and governments along the way to receive his father-in-law and his wife, so that his wife and father-in-law will eat, drink, have fun, and be rewarded, and if his wife and father-in-law are dissatisfied, they will be punished, and the expenses can be reimbursed  It is a great achievement to let my father-in-law rest and live in state capitals, county towns and post stations along the way.

    Then naturally, Wu Guogui, Wu Xiaotu's father and daughter family were on their way north to the capital, and they were naturally received by the civil and military officials at all levels in Fatty Army's local government with the most warm and grand reception.  , the careful arrangement is extremely thoughtful, not only makes Wu Guogui's family feel very satisfied, but also makes Wu Guogui's family feel a little embarrassed.  The words kept by the officials made their throats smoke.

    And more naturally, the speed of Wu Guogui's family going north is naturally a little too slow. Normally, the journey from Changde to Beijing takes more than 20 days. Wu Guogui's family walked for almost a month.  Step into the territory of Zhili.

    The purpose of Fatty Lu's use of lackeys to hold back the troublesome old man's northward footsteps is self-evident. It is to buy time for Guo Zhuangtu and Xia Guoxiang, the unlucky brothers-in-law, so that they can rush to drive a wedge between Huguang, who is too powerful.  Wu Jun, let some dangerous elements be exposed in advance, so as not to recruit this team that is too loyal to the old traitor Wu to surrender, leaving behind hidden dangers, destroying the unity of Fatty's army, and further affecting Fatty Lu's ultimate plan to usurp the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

    Of course, Guo Zhuangtu and Xia Guoxiang, the troubled brothers, did not disappoint Fatty Lu. After receiving the news that Fatty Army deliberately leaked the news that Wu Guogui went north to negotiate and merge into the Fatty Army, Xia Guoxiang was so scared that he almost peed on his crotch. He couldn't wait to get Guo Zhuangtu's consent.  , and immediately sent troops to Taoyuan to monitor the Wu army in Changde, and quickly sent spies, spies and dogs to sneak into the areas controlled by the Wu army in Huguang, and spread rumors that Fatty Lu was trying to usurp the throne and claim the emperor and wiped out the Wu clan, so that the Wu clan in the Wu army in Huguang would hate  Fatty Lu became suspicious and sabotaged Huguang Wu Jun's plan to merge into Wu Jun.

    Guo Zhuangtu was also very frightened when he received the news sent by Xia Guoxiang on a six-hundred-mile-plus-speed horse, and quickly mobilized the spies lurking in the Wu family's ranks to spread the word that Fatty Lu had annexed the Huguang Wu army.  There were no well-intentioned rumors, and at the same time, Guo Zhuangtu took advantage of the fact that he had a large number of family members of the Wu clan generals in his hands, pretending to send envoys to negotiate a truce with the Wu clan generals, taking the opportunity to spread rumors and slander, and spread that Fatty Lu vainly claimed the emperor and usurped the throne.  Rumors of the Wu clan's extermination, I hope that the generals of the Wu clan will see clearly the evil face of Fatty Lu, and don't be fooled, ruining the great Zhou country and ruining the life of the Wu clan.

    Guo Zhuangtu and Xia Guoxiang, the brothers and sisters, had nothing to do. Once the Huguang Wu Army was merged into the Fat Army under the leadership of Wu Guogui, the Fat Army would immediately be able to wedge into the connection between the two teams and cut off the connection between the two main forces of the Honghua court.  Not to mention that the strategic initiative can be obtained immediately, the fat army, which has an absolute advantage in comprehensive strength, will also form an overwhelming advantage over the Honghua court, completely extinguishing the last hope of the Honghua court, and may bring the Honghua court any time.  Come to the disaster!  So there was no other way. In order to protect themselves, Guo Zhuangtu and Xia Guoxiang had to follow the pace that Fatty Lu indirectly arranged for them, no matter whether they noticed the strange situation or not.

    At this moment, Xia Guoxiang and Guo Zhuangtu were overjoyed. Zha Jizuo, a famous literati in the south of the Yangtze River, even organized thousands of literati in the south of the Yangtze River to join the petition to persuade them to join him, and he won the world with the merits of Fatty Lu.  On the grounds of the destiny, he persuaded Fatty Lu to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and set aside the Honghua court to go it alone and establish the Dai Viet Empire.  Hearing this news, Xia Guoxiang and Guo Zhuangtu's brothers-in-law, of course, laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths. Knowing that Fatty Lu did it on his own, he dug his own hole to bury himself.

    During this period, another major event occurred on the land of the Central Plains. The Northern Expedition army led by the chief general of the Fatty Army, Gao Dejie, spent more than three months of hard work. First, they broke through the two great cities of Shengjing, Liaoyang and Tieling.  Defeated the reinforcements dispatched by the Qing court from Tungus' hometown, defeated the reinforcements borrowed by Xiaozhuang old hag from Horqin's natal family, and finally rejected the request of Xiaozhuang old hag to surrender.  On this day, the new and old lair of the Qing court¡ª¡ªShengjing was broken!  Recaptured the city of Shenyang, China, which had been occupied by the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty for forty-seven years.

    When the city of Shengjing was about to be breached, the old witch of Xiaozhuang was unable to escape because of her old age and sickness, so she had to hand Yinti, the eldest son of Kang Mazi, to the general of Shengjing, Wonei Batulu, and ordered Woney Batulu to take the six-year-old boy with him.  Yinti escaped from the siege and fled to the hometown of Tunguska. Then the old witch of Xiaozhuang worshiped the old wild boar skin and yellow stewed chicken in the Chongzheng Hall of the Shengjing Palace, and finally hanged herself.  But what the old hag of Xiaozhuang never dreamed of was that it wasn't Woneba who was born as an evil slave with four surnames.A messenger with a small red flag on his back rode a fast horse and rushed towards this side like a lightning bolt. Yao Qisheng said hurriedly: "My lord, it's a red flag. There is an emergency military situation. I'll take a look at it."  .¡±

    Fatty Lu nodded in agreement, and Yao Qisheng rushed over quickly, stopped the messenger, and rushed back quickly with the military intelligence pond newspaper that represented a hundred thousand urgent chicken feathers, and shouted: "My lord, the big thing is not good, something big is happening in Huguang!"  Yes! General Han Daren reported that Wu Yingjing and Wu Yingchang, who were stationed in Songzi and Lizhou, suddenly launched a mutiny to seize Jingzhou City, captured and imprisoned General Wu Guozheng, and cut off the connection between Changde General Liu Zhifu and the rear of Xiangyang! The two Wu  General, I also ask General Tao Jizhi in Xiangyang to participate in the mutiny, and no matter what happens, General Tao Jizhi is not allowed to hand over the defense area to our army!"

    "What?!" Wu Guogui's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "How is it possible? How could Wu Yingjing and Wu Yingchang do such a thing?"

    "Is there a mistake? Brother Wu Yingjing is crazy?" Fatty Lu also exclaimed, "Didn't you agree to merge into our Yue Palace? Why did you go back on your word? Has the news been confirmed?"

    "It's absolutely true!" Yao Qisheng presented the pond report to Fatty Lu and said loudly: "General Tao Jizhi informed General Han Daren of this news, and General Tao Jizhi also asked General Wu Guogui to go to the book to explain the situation immediately. Without General Wu Guogui  Before your accurate answer, General Tao Jizhi cannot hand over Xiangyang and Nanyang to our army!"

    Wu Guogui snatched the pond newspaper, opened it and only glanced at it. Wu Guogui's standard Chinese characters turned gray on his face, and the fat military and military officials next to him were either full of contempt or anger, and whispers immediately rang out.  , Fatty Lu was a little better, snatched the Tang newspaper from Wu Guogui again, pretended to read the Tang newspaper that he had received last night carefully, and then turned his gaze to Wu Guogui again, with a wry smile on Fatty's face.

    "I'll go back to Huguang right away!" Wu Guogui couldn't stand his son-in-law's look of pity, and shouted, "I'll go back right away. I want to see how Wu Yingjing and Wu Yingchang, the bastards, explain it to me!"

    "Father-in-law, you can't go." Fatty Lu refused flatly, and said, "If my son-in-law guessed correctly, Brother Wu Yingjing must have suspected that father-in-law, you have been bought by my son-in-law with my glory and wealth, and it would be dangerous for you to return to Huguang.  Let the Shiqun brothers go, I will let Han Daren lead the army to protect the Shiqun brothers to negotiate with them, even if they cannot be persuaded, I can ensure the safety of the Shiqun brothers."

    "They won't believe Shiqun, so I have to go." Wu Guogui shook his head.

    "They won't believe you, father-in-law!" Fatty Lu suddenly raised his voice, and shouted at Wu Guogui for the first time: "Father-in-law, please don't forget that you are my old Taishan. Brother Wu Yingjing believes that I will usurp the throne, so naturally he also recognizes me  I will buy you with glory and wealth, and I believe that you will betray them in order to become the first-class Cheng Engong and help me to the throne! For their power and status, they will not listen to what you say, but will treat you  Disadvantage! You are my father-in-law, if you have any troubles because of me, what face do I have to meet the world, and what face do I have to see Xiao Tu?!"

    It was the first time that Wu Guogui was not used to being scolded by the son-in-law of Sanhao, and he couldn't help being a little dazed for a while, but Fatty Lu waved his hand and shouted righteously: "That's it, let Shiqun brothers take your father-in-law's letter to Huguang  Let General Han Daren lead the main force of our army in Henan to escort the Shiqun brothers to the south! If the Wu Yingjing brothers insist on supporting the troops and making trouble, then you don¡¯t have to be polite and talk to them with knives and guns! Such greedy and selfish people, don¡¯t beat them up!  I¡¯m afraid, I won¡¯t listen to any of their good words!¡± (To be continued.

 Chapter 425 The Death of the Old Traitor

    ?

    Fatty Lu borrowed a knife to kill people, and used Guo Zhuangtu and Xia Guoxiang to divide the Huguang Wu army, which was a monolithic Huguang Wu army.  Xia Guoxiang's villains have clever means, but the key is that the generals of the Wu clan headed by Wu Yingjing brothers are not up to date, they only stand on their own standpoints and think about their own interests, so they naturally fall into the trap of Guo Zhuangtu and Xia Guoxiang.  Trap, and then fell into the big trap of Fatty Lu.

    Of course, the Wu clan cannot be completely blamed for their selfishness. The limitations of the times and cultural habits have determined that they can only consider their own interests from their own standpoint.  There are really not many royal families who have killed them all. Even if the Wu clan in the Huguang Wu Army team does not think about their own prosperity, wealth and power, at least they have to think about their wealth and life.  Seeing the viciousness of his relative Guo Zhuangtu towards the Wu clan, the Wu clan couldn't help but suspect Fatty Lu, who was also a relative of the Wu clan.

    It is also because of this that after hearing the rumors that Fatty Lu attempted to usurp the throne and proclaim the emperor and exterminate the Wu clan, the Wu clan headed by the Wu Yingjing brothers naturally did not dare to take it lightly.  In fact, Wu Guogui, the traitorous son of the old man Wu, who has no blood relationship, has not sent accurate information for a long time. The suspicion of the Wu clan has naturally increased, and he has naturally become suspicious of his righteous brother Wu Guogui-this guy's daughter is Fatty Lu's wife.  , if Fatty Lu usurps the throne and proclaims himself emperor, this guy will immediately be the first-class Chengen public authority, and his descendants will benefit endlessly. For his own benefit, will he betray the Wu clan that is not actually related by blood?

    Suspicious neighbor stealing an axe, with such an idea, the Wu family will look at Wu Guogui's actions, and naturally there will be doubts everywhere. Why is Wu Guogui's northward speed so slow? Is it because he is dispatching troops to the fat army?  Wu Jun of Huguang sweeps everything to buy time?  Why was Wu Guogui immediately named the most important Fengtai Admiral of Gyeonggi Defense when he first arrived in Beijing, and he was known as a treacherous and cunning Fatty Lu?  Why hasn't Wu Guogui sent any accurate information after he entered Beijing? What did Wu Guogui do with Fatty Lu during his time in Beijing?  Could it be that Han Daren and Chen Bing in Henan were preparing for the use of force to wipe out the Wu clan?  In fact, Fatty Lu, who already holds more than half of the world, will really return the throne to the old Wu family?  There seem to be few such good officials and warlords throughout the ages, right?

    With these suspicions, coupled with Xia Guoxiang and Guo Zhuangtu's direct instigation, Fatty Lu secretly fueled the flames, the Wu clan headed by the Wu Yingjing brothers, in order to protect themselves, survive and power, the Jingzhou mutiny was naturally inevitable.  But in this way, on the surface, it seems that Honghua's small court has achieved its goal and successfully prevented the Huguang Wu Army, which is the most powerful in the Wu clan, from being merged into the Fatty Army as a whole. In fact, the biggest beneficiary is Lu Fatty himself.  He eliminated the potential enemy Huguang Wu Army, absorbed a part of Huguang Wu Army's strength, and got rid of the huge burden of the Wu clan, avoiding the countless hidden dangers caused by luring wolves into the house.

    After all, Fatty Lu wants to sit back and reap the rewards and snatch the country that the old traitor Wu has almost obtained. The biggest obstacle is not only the moral issue, but also the Wu clan.  Clan group, the nominal Wu clan like Wu Guogui can have it, but Wu relatives like the Wu Yingjing brothers absolutely cannot!  At least not yet!  Otherwise, when Fatty Lu usurps the throne and proclaims himself emperor, it must also be the time when Fatty's army is divided by civil strife!

    Not everyone has such long-term vision and sinister intentions as Fatty Lu, and the generals of the Wu clan in Huguang don't understand their real value of restraining Fatty Lu. The Wu Yingjing brothers led the Wu clan in Huguang to launch a mutiny, arrest and detain him.  Wu Guogui's third brother, Wu Guozheng, even gave Fatty Lu the legal value of starting a war that Fatty Lu could only dream of.  After Fatty Lu gave another order, Wu Yingjing, the nephews of old traitor Wu, became rebellious in Dazhou. The fat general Han Daren, who had long been coveting the land of fish and rice in Huguang, finally got the opportunity to show his strength.  On the 10th day of August in the third year of Honghua, he led his army southward from Luoyang, under the banner of crusade against the rebels of the Great Zhou Dynasty and rescued the loyal minister Liu Zhifu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and brutally attacked the Wu army in Huguang.

    Because of the fact that Wu Guogui had already received a letter written by Wu Guogui, the main force of the fat army led by Han Daren had just arrived in Nanyang, the northernmost point of the Wu army's control in Huguang.  After entering the city, they accepted the canonization and reorganization of the Fat Army, and the Fat Army Central Plains Army led by Han Daren, after absorbing the newly formed army of Wang Pingfan and Yang Laijia, had a strength of 70,000.

    Immediately afterwards, the general of the Wu army stationed in Xiangyang?Tianzhi was silent, and after a long time, he ordered in a low voice that Wanfujin should be collected in the coffin and buried in Lianhuashan, Guangzhou. At the same time, he ordered to block the news, saying that Wanfujin disappeared during the war.

    After dismissing the messengers, Li Tianzhi walked slowly to the old traitor Shang's stretcher, and lowered his head to stare at this hardcore old traitor who sold his country so much that he didn't even want his pants.  I don't speak for a long time.  After a long time, old traitor Shang moved his lips slightly, as if he was about to say something, Li Tianzhi knelt down to him, put his ear to his mouth, and listened carefully to his last words.

    "Tell Lu Yifeng." The old traitor Shang said with difficulty in a low and inaudible voice: "Don't allow him to kill Kangxi's master and let him live, otherwise, even if I become a ghost, I will not let him go."

    "The prince is not allowed to kill Emperor Mangou?" Li Tianzhi was stunned, and asked in surprise: "Emperor Kangxi Mangou was hacked to pieces by Lord Lu more than three years ago. Don't you know, old prince?"

    The old traitor Shang trembled violently, and his cloudy old eyes were full of shock. Li Tianzhi asked again in doubt: "My lord, didn't I tell you these things? The Emperor Mangou has already been cut by Lord Lu, and Beijing and Shengjing have also been killed by Lord Lu."  It was won, and the dog-filled prince Baylor almost didn't run away, and was killed by Prince Lu, you don't know about these old princes?"

    "Master!" Old Shang's inaudible voice suddenly increased a lot, but before he finished shouting two words, Old Shang's mouth spurted out a mouthful of dirty black blood, his head tilted, and he died on the spot.  But a pair of old eyes are still wide open and refuse to close.

    "No wonder the lord hates you, father-in-law so much." After reaching out and trying the old traitor Shang, Li Tianzhi sighed and shook his head, then closed his eyes for the old traitor Shang with his own hands, and said in a low voice: "Old lord, you have done it yourself.  Otherwise, the prince will not take your life, and neither will I. "

    After standing up, Li Tianzhi beckoned to a few confidant soldiers, and whispered in their ears: "Take his body and burn it, and scatter his ashes into the Pearl River, don't leave any, otherwise, all dogs will die."  The emperor is his lesson from the past." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

 Chapter 426 Expansion blocked

    ?

    The unforgivable Pingnan Palace was completely eradicated. The Fat Man's Southern Expedition Army, which has been fighting continuously for more than a year, has almost reached its limit. The generals and soldiers are exhausted, and it is very difficult to supply ammunition.  There are countless civil uprisings in the newly captured Fujian and half of Guangdong.  The Fatty Army's grain transportation team is a great threat to the safety and stability of the Fatty Army's rear.

    What's even more funny is that there was also a disturbance in the new land occupied by the Fatty Army. A Zhangzhou man named Cai Yin called himself the third prince Zhu, and recruited a gang of rogues, known as the leaders of the eighty-two gang, to collude with the Quanzhou city.  A triad leader named Xu Yan took advantage of Zheng Jing's return to Taiwan and the main force of the Fat Man Army's southern expedition to Guangdong to take advantage of the opportunity to take Quanzhou, establish the capital and build a country.  It turned out to be natural, the newly released Third Prince Zhu just came to the city of Quanzhou with his lackeys. The fat general Yang Yingyuan who stayed in Quanzhou to recuperate sent only 300 infantry, and killed them to the ground.  Nei Xuyan, who was about to set fire to the incident, was also sent south by the fat man's army patrolling the city, and became a ghost under the sword with Cai Yin. Cai Yin also became the first third prince Zhu to die under the fat man's saber.

    Although a group of hooligans took advantage of the fire to rob, and they were just too overwhelmed to shake the tree, it also reminded the Fatty Army South Road Army that the Fatty Army has not yet gained a firm foothold in Fujian, and it will take time to consolidate its rule and stabilize the place.  , not only is it difficult for Fujian to become the rear of the fat army to attack Guangdong and Guangxi, Zheng Jing, who still has strength, may make a comeback at any time.  So after much deliberation, Li Tianzhi finally decided to write to Fatty Lu, reporting the actual situation in Fujian and Guangdong, and requesting a temporary suspension of military operations against the remaining state capitals of Guangdong, allowing the soldiers of the Fatty Army to recuperate for a period of time, freeing up their hands to wipe out the locals.  The remnants of rebellion consolidated Fujian and Guangdong.

    Li Tianzhi's memorial was sent to the capital together with the victory of the victory over Guangzhou. Fatty Lu quickly approved Li Tianzhi's request to suspend large-scale military operations, but he also asked Li Tianzhi to send another team north to Shaozhou to cooperate with General Fatty's army.  Wu Yonghua teamed up to besiege Shaozhou, and completely eradicated the remnants of the Shang army Jin Guangzu and Shang Zhiying who were entrenched in Shaozhou city, and then stopped the large-scale war completely, lest the weeds would not be eradicated, and the spring breeze would blow again.  In addition, Lu Fatzi also named Tian Fengji the governor of Guangdong and Li Tianzhi the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and authorized Li Tianzhi to use his official position and salary to appease small local warlords in Guangdong and Guangxi that could be won.

    Then, Fatty Lu naturally went to Shang Wanyi's room to report the bad news and comfort his wife. At the same time, Fatty Lu, who deeply felt that he owed Shang Wanyi a lot, made a promise in front of his wife that he would do whatever it takes  Rescue Shang Wanyi's son Lu Bangjing, and promise that he will make Lu Bangjing's position as the eldest son unshakable in order to compensate for the harm he did to Shang Wanyi's mother and son.  Fortunately, Shang Wanyi is a very reasonable and good wife. She knows that her natal family has deserved it and deserved it, so apart from crying, she didn't blame Fatty Lu for a single word.

    The fat man army on the southern front has reached its limit, but the fat man army on other battlefields still has a lot of strength to spare, especially in Zhili and Liaodong.  In order to deal with the remnants of the Qing army in the primeval forest of Daxing'an Mountains, and stationed 70,000 troops on the sparsely populated Liaodong battlefield, all of them were elite soldiers. Not only was it a waste of troops, but it was even more wasteful  Money and food.  Therefore, Fatty Lu made a large-scale army adjustment. He dispatched 30,000 troops from the Gaodejie Army, and 20,000 troops from the Wangxu Army. They were handed over to General Gao Hongchen to lead the army.  An elite team with extremely powerful combat effectiveness rushed to the Huguang battlefield via Fengyang and Luzhou, Anhui, and attacked the Huguang Huangzhou and Hanyang prefectures controlled by Xia Guoxiang's army, directly deterred Xia Guoxiang's base camp Wuchang and Yuezhou, and forced Xia Guoxiang to retreat from the Jiangxi battlefield.  Get ready for the next attack on the southwest, and at the same time monitor Han Daren who is attacking and fighting in the west of Huguang.

    Fatty Lu finally dispatched the long-stored Zhili Army and the powerful Liaodong Army. The news spread to Huguang, and Xia Guoxiang, who had always been helpless against the two strong cities of Jiujiang and Nanchang, was even more helpless. In order not to run out of strength, he even fought back  With no strength, Xia Guoxiang had to retreat obediently, quickly retreated to Wuchang, and changed the focus of offense to comprehensive defense.  At the same time, Xia Guoxiang is also very clear that this strategic change is likely to be the last strategic change of the Honghua court. Unless Fatty Lu wants to rule against the Honghua court, otherwise from now on, the Honghua court will have to keep defending  And the life of constantly retreating.

    Guo Zhuangtu, the brother-in-law of Xia Guoxiang, who came to the same judgment, saw the allies who could be used were wiped out one by one by the Fatty Army, and saw the Fatty Army gradually adjust its strategic defense and counterattack.Due to the light situation, it has been difficult to open the situation under the Jingzhou city.  "

    "This time, our main opponent on the Huguang battlefield, Xia Guoxiang, also has new firearms in his hands. The firearms we need to consume are bound to be more, and the number of firearms we need to supply is bound to be larger.  If we put our forces into the Huguang battlefield, we might be like Han Daren again, relying on primitive sabers and spears to attack Changsha, Wuchang and Yuezhou."

    "That's true." Yao Qisheng nodded to express his understanding, and echoed: "I remember that the prince also said that when fighting against rebels Guo Zhuangtu and Xia Guoxiang, what you fight is not soldiers and horses, but firearms supply. Xia Guoxiang was in Changsha and Yuezhou.  He and Wuchang have hoarded a large number of firearms, and the only way for us to win is to fully guarantee the supply of firearms for the Huguang army."

    "But Li Tianzhi's main opponents in Guangdong and Guangxi did not have many firearms?" Zhu Fangdan asked suspiciously: "Among our enemies in Guangdong and Guangxi, except for Dong Chongmin who has some firearms, the other opponents are Zu Zeqing and Ma Chengyin.  Li Fengchun and Li Fengchun must not have many firearms in their hands. The firearms we have supplied to General Li Tianzhi in the past half a year should be enough? Besides, people like Zu Zeqing and Ma Chengyin can all try to recruit them?"

    "This is the second important reason, political reasons." Fatty Lu replied: "Zu Zeqing and Ma Chengyin, Zu Zeqing is the first cousin of Emperor Gao, and Ma Chengyin's father, Ma Xiong, has always been loyal to the emperor.  What honor to appease them? Or use the last emperor's edict?"

    "Of course I used the last emperor's edict." Zhu Fangdan said in surprise, "Could it be that other reputations can't be used to appease him?"

    "Using the emperor's edict to appease you will cause endless troubles." Fatty Lu replied coldly: "Wang Xu and Gao Dejie asked several times to move their troops to Shaanxi, and attack Hanzhong and Sichuan from the south of Shaanxi, but I refused for various reasons.  This is also the reason¡ªSichuan is controlled by the Wu clan, and it will be difficult to deal with the aftermath in the future if they are recruited here."

    "It's difficult to deal with the aftermath? But it's impossible for us not to fight Guangdong, Guangxi and Sichuan forever?" Zhu Fangdan asked again doubtfully: "Could it be that the prince still wants to use a knife to kill people and use Guo Zhuangtu's hand to kill them?"

    "Of course not. If I wanted to borrow Guo Zhuangtu's knife, I wouldn't attack Huguang now." Fatty Lu smiled, then waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have my own solutions to these problems. Hurry up, it's already five years old."  It's been a month, and the time is almost up."

    "The time is coming soon?" Yao Qisheng and Zhu Fangdan looked at each other, feeling more and more that Fatty Lu was elusive.

    "Master Yao, Doctor Zhu, do you still remember?" Fatty Lu suddenly asked again: "On the first day of the first lunar month last year, what did you lead all the civil and military officials say to me in the Hall of Martial Heroes, and how did I answer you?  I have too many official duties and often forget small things, when it comes to the first day of July, remember to remind me to answer your requests."

    Yao Qisheng and Zhu Fangdan were completely dumbfounded. They couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Fatty Lu's gourd. They had already made a poisonous oath at the Temple of Heaven that they would never do such a thing, so why bring up the old story again?  Could it be that Fatty Lu has gone back on his word again, that he is not going to leave the throne to his son, and is planning to proclaim himself emperor by force regardless of the world's scolding?

    "Give Wang Shaobo and Gao Dejie two Jun decrees." Fatty Lu ordered again: "Let them hurry up and account for their errands, and return to Beijing before the first day of July. There are Liucao's palm prints, Wang Shirong and the chief  The general Wu Jun surrendered, must be gathered at the Hall of Martial Arts on the first day of July." (To be continued.

 Chapter 427

    ?

    On August 6, 1679 AD, the first day of July in the fourth year of Honghua in the Great Zhou Dynasty, since the establishment of the Great Zhou Yue Palace, the six Cao palm seals and the four great scholars, except Xie Dong, who is also the household Cao palm seal left by the Governor of Liangjiang in Nanjing, are unprecedented.  The first reunion in Beijing.  At the same time, all the civil and military officials of the Fatty Army above the fourth rank in Beijing also participated in this gathering¡ªto be precise, they should be equivalent to the civil and military officials above the fourth rank.  Although not small, the grade is generally not high.

    In addition, Wu Jun generals Ma Bao, Wang Pingfan, Tao Jizhi, Du Hui and Wu Guogui brothers who voluntarily or semi-voluntarily surrendered to the Fatty Army, and even Geng Jingzhong, no matter whether they held real power in the Fatty Army's court or not.  They were all specially summoned by Fatty Lu into the Forbidden City to participate in the meeting of the Great Zhouyue Palace in the Hall of Martial Arts.  There was no festival or big celebration, and about 300 civil and military officials of all ages gathered in the Wuying Gate, which seemed very lively and strange at the same time.

    "I'm afraid something big will happen today." Countless fat army officials have such a premonition, and think of the first day of the first lunar month of the third year of Honghua a year and a half ago. Faced with the persuasion of all officials, Fatty Lu promised to come in one and a half years ago.  After giving the answer today, most of the fat military officials and upstarts who were looking forward to Fatty Lu becoming emperor to consolidate their vested interests are of course heart-thumping, but these fat military officials are extremely strange. Since Fatty Lu has made up his mind to become emperor,  Why did he swear such a poisonous oath in public at the Temple of Heaven a year ago? Isn't this just adding infamy to himself for usurping the throne and proclaiming himself emperor?

    "What the hell are you going to do, little bastard?" It's been almost a year since I became my son-in-law's younger brother. Of course, Wu Guogui has heard what the unscrupulous son-in-law said at the New Year's ceremony a year and a half ago, and he also knows that the unscrupulous son-in-law promised that he will return in a year and a half.  Give an accurate answer to persuade all officials.  Today's time has just arrived, and the unfilial son-in-law summoned so many important ministers to Beijing, Wu Guogui inevitably had a bad feeling in his heart, and couldn't help but quietly tugged on the sleeve of his third younger brother Wu Guozheng, and said in a low voice: "Guozheng, if the little bastard does something today  What about that kind of thing?"

    Wu Guozheng, who was rescued from the prison in Jingzhou by the Fatty Army, was silent, and after a while he replied in a low voice: "Brother must be overwhelmed, please pay attention, brother, today the guards in the Hall of Martial Heroes are still the same as usual, and there is no additional sentry.  , and did not send troops into the palace, if my nephew wants to do such a thing, he will not be confused about such details."

    Reminded by Wu Guozheng, Wu Guogui found out that the situation was just like what the third brother said, that in the Hall of Martial Arts where Fatty Lu lived, as usual, there were old lackeys Liu's brothers and Fatty Lu's personal soldiers standing guard on duty, and there was no extra guard on purpose.  Increase the sentry and increase the strength of the troops. The gates of the Ningdao Hall and Huanzhang Hall on both sides of the Wuying Hall are also wide open. There is no ambush.  relax a bit.

    Of course, because of his understanding of the cunning son-in-law, it is impossible for Wu Guogui to be completely at ease. After careful consideration for a while, Wu Guogui pretended to walk around casually, and slowly came to Ma Bao, Wang Pingfan, Tao Jizhi and others who were chatting and laughing.  Beside Wang Jizhen and others, while pretending to be joking with a few colleagues, they said in a low voice: "The scene today is not good. You have also heard about what happened on the first day of the first lunar month last year, and today happens to be the first day of the seventh lunar month. If today  , what are you going to do?"

    Ma Bao and the others who were talking and joking suddenly became cold. After a moment of silence, Old General Ma suddenly waved to the side and laughed loudly: "Brother Du Hui, when did you come back from Liaodong? Why don't you go to my house for a while after you come back?"  Come?" While calling Du Hui, General Ma slipped faster than a rabbit, Wang Jizhen was even more rude, and followed General Ma without even saying hello, and went to talk to Du Hui.

    "Old slicker, the older you get, the more slippery you get." Wu Guogui spit at the back of General Ma, then turned to Wang Pingfan and Tao Jizhi who were still in place, without speaking, just staring at them, Wang Pingfan couldn't stand Wu Guogui's words  Looking at him, he replied in a low voice: "Brother Guogui is overwhelmed. On July 28 last year, the prince made such a poisonous oath in the Temple of Heaven. How could he do such a thing?"

    "What if? What if he insists on doing that despite his reputation?" Wu Guogui asked.

    Wang Pingfan and Tao Jizhi dared not speak anymore, but they were not as unfeeling as General Ma, who made excuses to escape. Wu Guogui waited for a while, and seeing that the two kept their heads down and did not speak, he said in a low voice: "If he really dares to  If I break my oath and break my promise, I will kill my relatives righteously, can you help me?"

    Wang Pingfan and Tao Jizhi's expressions changed at the same time, and they subconsciously peeked around. Fortunately, Wu Guogui's voice was very low, and no one around him heard it, and no one paid attention to it. Wu Guogui frowned when he saw this, and said in a low voice: "  You are so afraid of my unfilial son-in-law? Have you forgotten the kindness and caring of Emperor Gao of Taizu?"

    "Of course I haven't forgotten."?, this king wants to take a look, who else dares to say that this king has two hearts for the Great Zhou court!  "

    "My lord¡ª!" Shaobo Wang screamed, "Your lord, your meritorious service is unrivaled, and your virtue is worthy of the world!"

    "My lord!" Countless fat military officials, both civil and military, knelt down and kowtowed and said, "Your lord is worthy of heaven and earth, and his civilization combines civil and martial arts. He deserves to be called emperor."

    "My lords, there is no need to say too much. This king has made up his mind." Fatty Lu waved his hands, flatly refused, and said sincerely: "My lords, my generals, I accept your kindness, but this king accepts it first."  There is no way to repay the great kindness of the emperor, and I am already extremely ashamed, how can I do such an unjust act? Please rest assured, gentlemen and generals, you are the pillars of the country, even if Emperor Honghua is welcomed back, he will definitely  I will reuse you and will not treat you badly."

    "It's no wonder you didn't treat us badly." The fat man's military dignitaries murmured in their hearts, and hurriedly persuaded Fatty Lu to give up the idea of ??moving out of the Forbidden City, but Fatty Lu just refused. In the end, Wang Shaobo, Yao Qisheng and others had no choice but to say again: "  Your lord, you also said that Emperor Taizu Gao warned that if the golden statue of Emperor Honghua is brought into the Qianqing Palace, the heavens will not only send warnings, but also disasters, what if the words of Emperor Taizu come true?"

    "If Emperor Taizu Gao's warning really comes true" Fatty Lu was waiting for these words, and after hesitating for a while he said: "If this is the case, then I will deal with it myself. I believe in destiny, I believe in Mingming  Among them, they have their own will of God, and they believe in obeying the will of heaven and responding to the hearts of the people."

    "It's easy to say if you have this sentence." Wang Shaobo, Yao Qisheng and others breathed a sigh of relief, and said together: "Anyway, my lord didn't dream of any disaster that Emperor Taizu Gao would bring. It's great to push the flood of locusts on Wu Shifan to prove that he didn't  The blessing of the king should abdicate to the virtuous!"

    "My virtuous son-in-law, what do you mean by that?" Wu Guogui also heard the flaws in Fatty Lu's words, and asked vigilantly, "Could it be that my virtuous son-in-law wants to say that if any disaster happens from heaven, my virtuous son-in-law intends to replace it?"

    "Then how do you want me to answer?" Fatty Lu suddenly became furious, pointed at Wu Guogui's nose and growled: "This king has already decided to move out of the Forbidden City, and you still want to suspect that this king is planning to usurp the throne and stand on his own?! Do you want this king to take you away?"  Helping you to the throne and letting the throne be named Wu immediately, do you believe that this king does not want to be the emperor?!"

    "I don't dare!" Wu Guogui was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. All the fat military and military officials in the hall were also furious, hating Wu Guogui for the foolish, loyal and traitorous old Wu Guogui.  Even Wang Pingfan and Tao Jizhi felt that Wu Guogui was too much, and Fatty Lu had already decided to move out of the Forbidden City, so why did he still suspect that Fatty Lu was planning to usurp the throne?

    "It's fine if you don't dare." Fatty Lu snorted coldly, "From today onwards, your position as admiral of Fengtai will be handed over to Hu Tongchun. You will live in the inner city of Beijing and take over as the head of the imperial guards to protect the golden statue of Emperor Honghua and Taizu.  The high emperor's spiritual position! The defense of Deshengmen is up to you! Again, unless Deshengmen collapses on its own and the Temple of Heaven and Earth burst into springs, this king will never proclaim himself emperor! This king wants you to watch it with your own eyes, this king  Are there any tricks like that?"

    "The minister leads the decree." Wu Guogui, who knew that he had committed public anger, had no choice but to agree.

    "Preach Jun's decree." Fatty Lu stood up and shouted loudly: "Li Cao quickly casts a golden statue of Emperor Honghua, please enter the Qianqing Palace and take his place. This king will invite all civil and military officials to bow down in person. This king will move out immediately  Forbidden City, move to Fengtai camp!"

    "I would like to abide by the order of the lord, and the lord will be a thousand years old!" The fat man's civil and military officials also kowtowed helplessly, sang promises in unison, and said together: "What kind of medicine is sold in the lord's gourd? I really don't intend to.  Do you want to be called the emperor, or do you think that you are destined to belong to heaven, and believe that Deshengmen will collapse on its own, the Temple of Heaven will burst into springs, and heaven will send disasters?"

    "My lord, Fengtai is full of military camps, and there are no houses." Huang Ji asked cautiously, "Does the lord order to build some houses in Fengtai for the lord to live in?"

    "I'm confused, I finally found an excuse to live in a shock-absorbing shed, and can I still live in those temporary houses?" Fatty Lu muttered in his heart, and sighed: "No, the war is endless, the treasury  If you are running out of money, don¡¯t add any more burden to the people of the Zhou Dynasty. Anyway, this king has been in the army for many years, and he is also used to living in the military tent.  Let's discuss."

    "My lord, why do you have to wrong yourself so much?"

    Finally someone cried out. To show their loyalty, the Hall of Martial Heroes burst into tears. Wu Guogui, Wang Pingfan and the others also had sore noses. They all regretted their suspicion of Fatty Lu. Fatty Lu wanted to prove that he had no intention of usurping the throne.  , has wronged himself to this point, and we still persecute Fatty Lu so much, it is too much to treat Fatty Lu's gentleman with a villain's heart.

    "It's still more convenient to start from scratch like Zhu Yuanzhang." Fatty Lu sighed quietly again in his heart, "Those who start from speculation and cheating like me will suffer more and suffer more." (To be completed  Continued.

 Chapter 428: Destiny's Destiny

    ?

    Fatty Lu decided to move out of the resplendent Forbidden City and live in the Fengtai military camp full of old men, not to mention that the civil and military officials of the Fatty Army disagreed, even Fatty Lu¡¯s wives disagreed, especially those who were pregnant.  Little Pepper cried and quarreled even more and refused to leave the Forbidden City, let alone go to the cow and sheepskin tent to raise fetuses and give birth.

    There is also Line Yu'er, who was not from the Pingxi Palace and has no affection for the Honghua court. Her natal family is powerful and her dowry is extremely generous. Among Lu Fatty's wives, she actually hopes that Lu Fatty will become emperor more than Little Pepper  , so I heard that Fatty Lu decided to move out of the Forbidden City in order to prove that he did not have the ambition to become emperor. Yan Yuer also jumped three feet high, pointed at Fatty Lu's nose, scolded Fatty Lu bloody, and threatened to drag Fatty up.  The Guangxi generals in the army launched a mutiny to kill Fatty Lu's loyal Wu clan officials who opposed Fatty Lu's proclaiming the emperor¡ªand their children, and forced Fatty Lu to the throne.

    Shang Wanyi doesn't care, except for her son who was taken hostage in Yunnan, she basically has nothing to worry about, no matter where she lives, wherever there is Fatty Lu is her home.  Wu Xiaotu had a weak personality, and Fatty Lu's decision to move out of the Forbidden City was partly due to her father, so she didn't dare to make any statements other than crying.  On the contrary, Fatty Lu's two soy sauce Mongolian concubines were a little happy, because the environment of the military camp was actually similar to the yurts they lived in when they were young. Not only did they not feel uncomfortable living in the tent, but it seemed like they had returned to their hometown.

    No matter how much Xiaojiao and Yu'er objected, it was useless. Fatty Lu was determined to eat weights. On the morning of the first day of July, he announced that he would move out of the Forbidden City.  Pepper and Line Yuer moved together, and threatened that if Xiaojiao and Line Yuer dared to commit injustice to their husbands, he would divorce his wife as a husband!  Seeing Fatty Lu's resolute attitude and uttering such unfeeling words for the first time, Rong Yu'er and Xiaojiao had no choice but to pack up and move to Fengtai Daying to live in Fengtai Daying while scolding Fatty Lu for his lack of conscience.

    Fatty Lu, who was only one step away from the world, moved out of the Forbidden City. Of course, the news caused a sensation in the entire Beijing city. At the same time, the reason why Fatty Lu moved to Fengtai Camp was also intentionally or unintentionally spread by the civil and military officials of the Fatty Army.  It is well-known in the capital, everyone knows that Fatty Lu did this because he did not want to become emperor, and everyone knows that Fatty Lu is determined to welcome Wu Shifan back to Beijing, put Wu Shifan on the throne, and repay the old traitor Wu for his kindness  .  For this, some people applaud, some call Fatty Lu stupid, but more people don't care, anyway, someone has to be the emperor, it doesn't matter if the surname is Lu or Wu.

    By the way, the old man Wu entrusted a dream to Fatty Lu, saying that if Wu Shifan lived in the Forbidden City, it would be a disaster, and it would be treated as a joke and a warning, and it would be widely spread in Zhili, Gyeonggi. Some foolish men and women who were brainwashed by feudal superstition believed that,  There are also some people who are suspicious, but more people listen to it as a joke after dinner, and sneer at the warning of old traitor Wu.

    ? On the second day of July, the pure gold statue of Wu Shifan was cast by hand supervisors Wang Shirong and Feng Soviet Union, which is very similar to Wu Shifan's appearance.  In the early morning of the next day, Fatty Lu personally led all the civil and military officials to welcome the golden statue of Wu Shifan into the Palace of Qianqing. He led all the civil and military officials to kneel down three times and perform the prostration ceremony, officially confirming that Beijing is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Forbidden City is the Great Zhou Palace.  On the same day, the coffin of old traitor Wu entered Beijing Taimiao, Fatty Lu led the crowd to salute and pay homage, fulfilling his duty as a courtier.

    In the next period of time, Fatty Lu asked Fatty Liucao¡¯s yamen to move to Fengtai Daying for the convenience of work. Fatty Lu¡¯s lackeys did not dare to disobey and obediently obeyed the order. Fatty Lu ordered to expand the camp of Fengtai Daying  On the one hand, he tried his best to appease the lackeys and accomplices, and demanded that the lackeys and accomplices understand his own difficulties. As a courtier of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he really shouldn't do the unfaithful, filial, unkind and unrighteous usurpation of the throne.  Fatty Lu's cronies and lackeys were full of resentment, but seeing Fatty Lu's resolute refusal to proclaim himself emperor, they had no choice but to bow their heads and accept their fate.

    On July 15th, Fatty Lu led all civil and military officials into the palace to worship the golden statue of Wu Shifan. When he returned to Fengtai camp, unexpectedly, Hu Tongchun, An Jiarong, Han Yuanren and others suddenly revolted and surrounded all the civil and military officials of Fatty's army.  Kneeling in front of Fatty Lu with the dragon robe in his hand, he begged Fatty Lu to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.  In order to prevent things from getting worse, Fatty Lu adopted a gentle strategy to appease his loyal generals. Who would have thought that Fatty Lu's attitude was a little milder, and all the civil and military officials of the Fatty Army would immediately get wrong, and almost all knelt down to force Fatty Lu to proclaim himself emperor.  If Fatty Lu does not proclaim himself emperor, they will die in front of Fatty Lu.

    Being forced to do nothing, Fatty Lu had no choice but to draw his sword in his hand, weeping and renewing his oath, threatening that unless God fulfilled his oath, let Deshengmen collapse on its own, and the Temple of Heaven cracked and water gushed out, proving that he was destined by destiny, otherwise  I would rather die than take the throne, and don't betray Da Zhou!  talking,Grain storage, porridge sheds were built outside Beijing, and porridge was cooked and distributed.  Fortunately, the fat army's garrison in Gyeonggi area, including Fengtai garrison, was more than 60,000. It was not damaged in the earthquake, and the manpower was sufficient. Therefore, the disaster relief work was carried out in an orderly manner, and the people were also transferred very quickly under the organization of the army.

    During the busy time, the disaster relief team led by Fatty Lu gradually arrived at the Temple of Heaven area in the southeast of the outer city.  There are cracks in the ground that are several feet long, and the clear water in the ground cracks is rolling, and spring water is constantly gushing out.  Seeing this scene, without Fatty Lu's arrangements, the officers and generals of Fatty's army immediately roared, "My lord, the spring of the Temple of Heaven is bursting! The spring of the Temple of Heaven is bursting!"

    "My lord! My lord!" At this moment, a group of fat soldiers rushed from the crowd, and Wang Xu, the leader, roared wildly, "My lord, the Desheng Gate has collapsed! The Desheng Gate itself has collapsed! General Wu Guogui, too!"  Buried alive under the ruins of the tower at Deshengmen!"

    "Then quickly arrange for someone to rescue him!" Fatty Lu stomped his feet and shouted, "Hurry up, we must rescue my father-in-law!"

    "Don't worry, my lord, the general has arranged for someone to rescue him!" Wang Xu loudly agreed to rush in, and when he got to the edge of the Temple of Heaven, he only had one look.  Quan Yong! My lord, your oath has been fulfilled!"

    "What vow of mine has been fulfilled?" Fatty Lu began to pretend to be confused.

    "My lord, have you forgotten?!" Countless fat soldiers and officers roared, "On this day last year, you swore at the Temple of Heaven that you would never become emperor unless the Desheng Gate collapsed and the Temple of Heaven burst into a spring! Your lord,  Your oath has been fulfilled!"

    "My lord is destined to be called emperor!" Wang Shaobo and Yao Qisheng knelt down to Fatty Lu together, and shouted like crazy: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

    "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Countless fat soldiers knelt down on their knees, kowtowed to Fatty Lu, and shouted long live.

    "When is this? Are you still thinking about such a thing?!" Fatty Lu stomped his feet and shouted: "Relieve the disaster first, and transfer the people first! Other things will be discussed later!" (To be continued.

 Chapter 429: Finale

    ?

    The epicenter of the great Beijing earthquake in 1679 was at the junction of Pinggu County and Sanhe County in the east of Beijing. Pinggu and Tongzhou counties were the most severely damaged, and the ground cracked more than ten feet wide.  Dongshan landslide, Haizizhuang Nanshan, split into jagged.  The famous "Lengdeng Ancient Pagoda" in Tongzhou was destroyed by the earthquake, and the ground around the county was severely cracked. Black water gushed out from the ground for about ten feet, and some even hot springs gushed out of the cracks.

    The earthquake also affected places such as the Forbidden City, Deshengmen, Andingmen, Xizhimen, Changchun Temple, Beihai and Temple of Heaven in the urban area of ??Beijing. A total of more than 12,000 houses collapsed and more than 18,000 were damaged.  Dozens of solid and well-built imperial palaces, palaces, and ancient temples were also destroyed. Thirty-one palaces were damaged in the Forbidden City.  Near the Temple of Heaven, there is also ground fissures and water gushing out, and ground fissures several feet long can be seen inside and outside the city.  Fortunately, due to various reasons, there were not many casualties in Beijing.

    The damage and spread of the earthquake are very extensive. Suburban counties such as Shunyi, Miyun, and Fangshan around the urban area of ??Beijing, most of Hebei Province, and parts of Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, and Inner Mongolia were all damaged, with an area of ??more than 100,000 people damaged.  square kilometers.  The earthquake was felt in parts of Liaoning, Shaanxi, Jiangsu, Anhui, Gansu, Guangdong, Jilin and other provinces, and the farthest felt area was more than 1,000 kilometers away from the epicenter.  The quake was recorded in 165 states and counties.  It can be said that the earthquake affected more than half of China.

    Regarding this geological disaster, although Fatty Lu remembered the exact year and approximate month, he did not remember the exact date, and was unable to make preparations to minimize losses.  It is possible to help the people survive the disaster and reduce the loss of personnel and property.  At the same time, Fatty Lu felt very guilty about the small actions he made by taking advantage of this geological disaster. He always felt that he was too sorry for the people affected by the disaster.

    Fatty Lu's guilt is his own fault, but the people affected by the disaster did not blame this crime on Fatty Lu, but pointed the finger at Wu Shifan, the little emperor of Honghua who was far away in Yunnan.  The little emperor usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, offending the heavens, so as soon as his golden statue was put into the Qianqing Palace, heaven sent such a disaster to punish the world, and strongly demanded that the fat man army remove Wu Shifan's golden statue from the Qianqing Palace.  The Fat Army did not disappoint the people this time, and chose to hold a ceremony on the eighth day of the eighth day of the eighth lunar month to move the golden statue of Wu Shifan out of the Qianqing Palace and melt it down in front of the earthquake shed outside Beijing.

    When the golden statue of Wu Shifan was melted down, Wu Guogui, who managed to save his life with a broken arm, was also there, but he did not say a word of objection this time.  There is no objection, because after hearing the old traitor Wu's warning from Fatty Lu, they saw with their own eyes that the golden statue of Wu Shifan was placed in the Qianqing Palace less than a month before such a large earthquake occurred in Beijing, and they also saw and experienced it with their own eyes.  Fatty Lu's vow was fulfilled.  Objecting under such circumstances is not only against the destiny, but also against the will of the people.

    Even more coincidentally, during the earthquake, Wu Guozheng, who assisted Wu Guogui in guarding the Forbidden City, saw with his own eyes that the golden statue of Wu Shifan was thrown from the dragon chair by the earthquake.  Falling down once, in the end even the palace walls of Qianqing Palace collapsed.  Hearing the report from his younger brother, no matter how loyal Wu Guogui was to old man Wu, he couldn't help but suspect that the old Wu family might really have no emperor.

    Wu's loyal ministers are not bad, they just have nothing to say, but Lu Fatty's confidant lackeys are really shocked. The reason why Lu Fatty's lackeys and accomplices insist on making Lu Fatty emperor  In fact, it was for his own sake. He wanted to use Fatty Lu to keep his wealth, power, status, and vested interests. He never believed in any nonsense such as destiny, so Fatty Lu made such a vow to cut his own future at the Temple of Heaven last year and  This year, the accomplices and lackeys were so angry after the heavy vows this year. Not only did they cause several mutinies to force Fatty Lu to ascend the throne and become emperor, but they even once suspected that Fatty Lu was already stupid and demented in advance.  Not just one or two lackeys and accomplices of Fatty Lu.

    It's just that what Fatty Lu's accomplices and lackeys never dreamed of was that the oath that Fatty Lu made at the Temple of Heaven was not only fulfilled, but also the oath was fulfilled without any tampering.  These oaths!  In this way, the accomplices cheered and rejoiced that the dream could finally come true, and then looked at Fatty Lu with a look of awe. This guy, is this guy really the Lord of the World chosen by heaven?  Jinkouyuyan, words come out with the sky?

    I was also shocked, and all the soldiers and civilians who had heard of Fatty Lu's oath and old man Wu's treacherous dream before, the nonsense of the past was true.One, it's a fake.  "

    "My son¡ª!" Shang Wanyan, who missed her beloved son to the point of madness, burst into tears, opened her arms and hugged the young man in her arms, and put her face on his son's head, crying loudly, "Son, my good boy  , I am your mother!"

    "Mom? Are you my mother? Really?" The boy seemed to be out of a dream, but tears still flowed from the corners of his eyes.

    "Of course it's true!" Fatty Lu punched his son on the head again, humming, "Little bastard, you actually abducted your wife just like your father did, and it was your unmarried wife who abducted, thanks to you for figuring it out!  "

    As he said that, Fatty Lu turned his head amidst Shang Wanyi's mother and son's hugging and crying, cupped his hands at the stunned Gao Dejie, and said sincerely: "Brother Da Jie, this child has grown up by your side for more than half of the time.  Thank you for bringing him up, and for raising me to be a vigorous son, thank you very much."

    "I dare not, this is what I should do." Gao Dejie, who finally came to his senses, hurriedly returned the gift, but his heart was filled with joy.

    "Brother Dajie, tell me, if the news is heard by those people in Yunnan, how will they react?" Fatty Lu suddenly smirked and whispered in Gao Dejie's ear.

    Gao Dejie smiled heartily, and leaned into Fatty Lu's ear and whispered: "I estimate that they will probably want to bump their heads to death¡ªincluding Han Daren, and your other imperial concubine, Your Majesty.  The opportunity was missed by them?"

    Fatty Lu and Gao Dejie laughed together, looking up to the sky and laughing.

 Chapter 430

    ?

    ?After one year and one month, "The Disaster of the Qing Dynasty" is finally finished today!

    When I wrote the last word, Pure Wolf was full of emotions. This is the book that Pure Wolf puts the most effort into, and it is also the book that has created four personal firsts for Pure Wolf. It has the most words and the most historical materials.  It was the first time to make the protagonist the emperor, and it was the first time that the game was not interrupted due to a power outage.  Heh, all the old friends of Pure Wolf know how miserable it was when Pure Wolf was not equipped with batteries and inverters before being tortured by power outages.

    To be honest, Pure Wolf is actually not very satisfied with "The Scourge". Although the score of "The Scourge" is not the worst book of Pure Wolf, it is also the book that Pure Wolf has received the most rewards from friends, but compared to Pure Wolf's "Scourge"  The painstaking efforts and subscription results are simply a mess. If it is not for the concern that I am too sorry for the old and new friends who enthusiastically support Pure Wolf, Pure Wolf once planned to finish the book in more than one million words.

    Of course, the unsatisfactory results of "The Scourge" cannot be completely blamed on other reasons. The pure wolf itself is also at fault. The outline focuses on war, scheming, and farming, which the pure wolf is least good at.  Upholding the spirit, friends can insist on supporting the genuine version and using other means to compensate Pure Wolf, Pure Wolf is already very grateful.

    But the same sentence of the pure wolf is still the same, "The Scourge" is definitely the book that the pure wolf puts the most effort into, and it is also the book that pursues perfection the most-although the pure wolf has now discovered that this kind of perfection has gone in the wrong direction.  But in terms of the energy and painstaking efforts put into by Pure Wolf, Pure Wolf can also hold its head high and say to friends that Pure Wolf has lived up to the support and love of its friends.

    "The Scourge" is Ni Tian's compensation. As far as the book is concerned, Pure Wolf feels that "The Scourge" is ten times stronger than Ni Tian, ??so no matter what happens, Pure Wolf will not continue to write Ni Tian, ??and let Ni Tian disappear forever  Bar.

    The next book is currently tentatively scheduled as the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period. Whether there will be any changes depends on the decision of the starting point for the new book of Pure Wolf, but whether it is the book of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period or not, Pure Wolf will only do one  One thing, that is to put more effort and energy into creating a better story for friends than "The Scourge".

    Please note that it is the period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, not the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!

    The start time of the new book has not been determined by Pure Wolf, and there is no way for Pure Wolf to be determined. It must be discussed with the starting point before the result is reached, so please wait patiently, when Pure Wolf will announce it in the book "The Scourge", please newcomers  Old friends continue to support.

    Here, I would like to thank the new and old friends who supported "The Scourge" again. Without you, "The Scourge" would not be able to persist until now, and neither would Pure Wolf, thank you.

    (ps: There are two updates today, and the second one will be delivered. It¡¯s 12 o¡¯clock and Monday, please click for favorites and recommendations for rankings. It¡¯s hard for newcomers.)

    Contrary to the expectations of Fatty Lu and Li Tianzhi, Shang Wanyi stayed overnight in Chenghai City without any accidents or abnormalities, which caused Fatty Lu and Li Tianzhi to take turns squatting outside Shang Wanyi's room all night for nothing.  Being blown by the wind and kissed by mosquitoes, and unable to sleep a wink all night, it was unspeakably miserable.  As a result, at dawn, Fatty Lu, who persisted in his beliefs, could still hold on, and Fatty Lu's dog legs began to complain unceasingly.  So much so that when the sky was fully bright, Li Tianzhi just came over to ask what happened, and Xiao Erlang's dog legs immediately complained to Li Tianzhi.

    "I said General Li, are you intentionally hurting people?" Xiao Erlang groaned while wiping himself with mosquito repellent wine: "This Xingyuan is obviously protected by so many troops, but you and the young master still want to let it go."  We stay here all night until dawn, wasting our energy and being bitten all over by mosquitoes. Look, my arms are getting thicker."

    "Yeah, yeah, our arms are all covered." The three tigers in Guangzhou nodded together, also very dissatisfied with the errands that Li Tianzhi and Fatty Lu explained.

    "You don't have to do it if you don't want to do it." Li Tianzhi said with a half-smile: "As long as your young master says that you don't want to do it anymore, I will never give you the job of protecting Little Gege."

    Hearing this, Xiao Erlang, Liu Zhen and other dog legs were all discouraged-if such a request was made to Fatty Lu, Fatty Lu would definitely beat them with a stick.  Fatty Lu, who was also stinged all over his body, said to Li Tianzhi: "General Li, I don't think there was any accident last night, but it doesn't mean we are safe. The next few days are the key. We should be more careful."  good."

    "That's right, I think so too." Li Tianzhi nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Doing it in the city has too much influence, and some people can't escape the responsibility. It's only dangerous outside the city, and after passing through Chenghai City, it's all the way to Zhao'an.  There is no decent city on the road to provide us with accommodation and protection, we all have to sleep in the wild, and we have to be more careful during this period."

    "Then don't be dazed, let's go." Fatty Lu urged: "Leave Chenghai immediately, hurry up and try to reach Zhao'an before sunset tomorrow, as long as we enter Fujian, we will be much more relaxed.  "

    Li Tianzhi nodded in agreement, and now Li Tianzhi and Fatty Lu joined forces to meet Shang Wanyi, and asked Shang Wanyi to go on the road immediately under the excuse that it was too inconvenient to bother the people of Chenghai.  Of course Shang Wanyi agrees.  Li Tianzhi and Big Fatty Lu didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately asked the team to pack up, and went to say goodbye to Fu Honglie and others together.  The local officials of Chaozhou Prefecture sent Shang Wanyi's team out of the ten-mile long pavilion, and then waved goodbye to Fatty Lu and his party.

    "Master Fu, can I ask you something?" Seeing the back of Shang Wanyi's team walking away, Yang Guotai quietly leaned into Fu Honglie's ear and whispered: "Since it is to make Fatty Lu rape and kill Shang Wan  The false appearance of Shang Kexi, then when doing the work, can Shang Kexi, the little daughter, let the general have a taste? Unexpectedly, that old thing Shang Kexi is old and ugly, and the daughter he gave birth to is so beautiful.  itchy."

    "Go ahead if you want it, there's no need to take advantage of others." Fu Honglie said with a low grinning grin, "To be honest, I'm also quite itchy. If there's a chance, I'd like to try it out and try this new thing."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    I hurried out of Chenghai City, and then hurried all the way north. I didn't stop until it was completely dark to rest for a while, and then I set off immediately before dawn, and went northward to Fujian at full speed.  As a result, the bodyguards, soldiers, and servants protecting Shang Wanyi must be full of resentment, and the gang of unscrupulous servants under Fatty Lu are also full of complaints, saying that it is not an urgent matter, why are they in such a hurry?  Are you in a hurry to eat fish balls in Fujian?  However, Li Tianzhi, who knew the inside story, and Fatty Lu, who guessed the inside story by himself, had troubles and couldn't tell, so they could only bite the bullet and resist the complaints from their subordinates, and kept urging the team to go north.

    Both Li Tianzhi and Fatty Lu seem to have seriously overestimated the seriousness of the matter. On the most dangerous road from Chenghai to Fenshui Pass, there was no accident in Shang Wanyi's team, not to mention that someone assassinated Shang Wanyi.  Not even a small thieves blocking the road and robbing appeared, and because of this, Li Tianzhi didn't have to carry out Shang Zhixin's orders against his will, and the latent insiders among Li Tianzhi's subordinates who received orders directly from Shang Zhixin didn't do anything¡ªafter all,  , Shang Zhixin's real purpose is to take advantage of Shang Wanyi's murder to get rid of his younger brother Shang Zhixiao."Kill¡ª¡ª!"  "Almost at the same time, there were killing sounds all around the camp. One after another, men in black rushed out of the darkness, wielding steel knives to attack soldiers who were not fainted. Fortunately, because of Fatty Lu's timely reminder  , Li Tianzhi and a small number of soldiers who took turns to eat did not eat too much poison, and were able to organize to resist the enemy's attack, which gave Fatty Lu and others an opportunity to escape in disorder.

    "Kill! Kill the Tartars!" The man in black yelled slogans, rampaging through the camp, killing people and setting fire everywhere, and another team went straight to Shang Wanyi's tent.  Fatty Lu carried Shang Wanyi on his shoulders and fled in the dark. Fortunately, Shang Wanyi's weight was probably only one-third of that of Fatty Lu at most. Fatty Lu carried her without any difficulty, so he quickly  He fled to the place where the horses gathered.

    "Hurry up, lead five horses, and kill the rest." Fatty Lu threw Shang Wanyi onto the saddle of a war horse, and ordered out of breath.

    "The rest of the horses were all killed?" Liu Zhen was a little confused.

    "Stupid! Don't kill more horses, save them for the enemy to chase us?" Fatty Lu jumped three feet high, and shouted: "Also, from now on, no one is allowed to approach us, including Li Tianzhi's soldiers  And the guards of the little Princess, they are unreliable!"
