Chapter 987: Xianfeng's Chinese Army Advances (Reform)
Mai Ke soon saw Jia Wuliang, only to see resting in the stronghold of a Shenji Pavilion, with a look of the rest of his life after the catastrophe.
This base was set up in a village called Damazhuang, and its main purpose was to store supplies and rest personnel.
There is a lot of land in the countryside, and this stronghold of the Shenji Pavilion is also a vast area, with a large courtyard and several large houses, for secret reasons, it is modeled on the format of the northern residence, which is the structure of a quadrangle.
The one who guarded the door was an old man of the Shenji Pavilion, Mai Ke still knew him, if it wasn't for Mai Ke's keen eyes, don't think about recognizing him as the original master of the Shenji Pavilion.
Because his current look, clothes, and conversation are older than the old peasants!
Of course, as a top intelligence officer, dressing up and pretending to be like something should be basic skills, but it is not easy to be so subtle.
Mai Ke estimated that this old man was probably a farmer, and he became a disciple of the Shenji Pavilion by mistake, and now he has been able to return to his profession and live with his natural colors, and he is like a fish in water.
"Mai Ke, why did you come here?" the old man was surprised, he was also a high-level member of the Shenji Pavilion, so he naturally saw Mai Ke, so he still saw it when he met, there was nothing strange.
"Huh, Uncle Ying, why are you here?" asked Mai Ke.
At this question, the old man began to be depressed, and said to himself, I know you not strangely, you just put it on the surface, but how do you think I am old? I have deliberately disguised myself, and I am not familiar with you!
Is my makeup so bad that I can be seen at a glance?
The old man muttered in his heart, and replied that Mai Keke did not slack off in the slightest, and told him that when he was old, he would not do those rushing killings that belonged to young people, and withdrew from the front line.
Nevertheless. But here, there is still a task.
"Mai Ke, knowing that you are a busy person, I won't delay you, tell me, what do you need me to do? As long as I can do it!"
"I'm here to see Jia Wuliang!"
"He's so angry with me! He's still alive! You said that he betrayed the eldest lady, why is he embarrassed to come out to meet someone, it's so shameless! You go to see him, remember to scold him for me!"
The old man said angrily, it is estimated that his level is not enough, and he does not know about Jia Wuliang's change of evil and entering the enemy's interior.
It's not bad for a few days, just wait for the end of the decisive battle between the two rivers to announce the truth.
Mai Ke entered the courtyard and saw that there was a smaller room in the west wing. Two men were there to guard.
It turned out that the supreme leader here didn't know what was going on with him, so he was confined to that hut and imprisoned.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Army that sent him explained that everything would be dealt with after the high-level of the Heavenly Army came, otherwise there would definitely be no good fruit to eat for a traitor like him.
After Mai Ke went in, he said to the two guards that they could leave.
But they didn't know who Mai Ke was. How can I leave my post without permission? So after listening to Mai Ke's words, I didn't move!
Mai Ke smiled embarrassedly. Forget it's not your own territory.
Fortunately, Uncle Ying's ears were still relatively good, so he hurried over and called the two sentries away.
"Who is this, Grandpa Ying? A stunned boy asked curiously.
"Don't talk nonsense, I tell you, this is a very big official. China is so big, no one has more power than him! If you provoke him, throw you into the sea of the East and play like that!"
The stunned boy's neck shrunk and he didn't dare to say anything.
Other punishments are fine. He was most afraid of water! When he was a child, he was flooded once, and since then, he has had cramps in his legs and stomach when he sees water.
"Unscrupulous brother, welcome back! The lonely hero of heaven who has gone deep into the tiger's den!"
Mai Ke now truly admires Jia Wuliang.
"Ahem, don't mention it, I almost didn't break my guts today! Why did you say that regent was so evil! Those chameleon snakes disappeared without a trace, and suddenly appeared, scaring me to the point that my bones were numb! And that regent spirit, my martial arts skills were good, but I was not his enemy! Thank you, Mai Ke, you have a heart!"
"This regent, I feel the same way about him as you, and I can't see through it until now, I guess it's not an ordinary person, and I'll have to pay more attention to it in the future, and you've had a lot of contact with him during this period of time, so you can tell me in detail when you have time. ”
"Okay! I'll put aside this spiritual matter, and I'll tell you about the information I'm going to send this time. ”
Then, Jia Wuliang told Mai Ke the content of this information.
No wonder Jia Wuliang risked his life to send information, this intelligence is really extraordinary!
It turned out that the sixth master Yixun, who was sitting in the north of the town, raised an army of millions to support his fourth brother Emperor Xianfeng!
At this time, they don't care about the sibling dispute, but support each other with their strength to the death!
This million army, about half of the people, is the strength of the emperor's desperate order some time ago, the last time they stayed to defend the place, now the front is tight, the emperor is in danger, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, all bombarded over.
In fact, even if there are many such soldiers, Mai Ke doesn't take it to heart, in a certain sense, he still thinks that more is better!
Because they were transferred out to fight in other places, most of their combat effectiveness was basically wasted.
If they don't come out and stay in their hometown to protect their homeland, their combat effectiveness will increase exponentially, and the trouble they cause to the Celestial Army will also increase proportionally.
What caught Mai Ke's attention was the 500,000 in the back!
And this 500,000 angry Mai Ke scolded people.
"This bastard six!
It turns out that the next 500,000 are all collected by Devil Six from other countries!
According to Jia Wuliang's intelligence, in order to invite these accomplices, they dare to betray anything!
Two of them, the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo, each sent 50,000 troops on the condition that the Qing Dynasty recognize their full sovereignty!
There is also a rule, the cities they captured, allow them to "go for three days", that is, they are not restricted for three days, and let them burn and loot at will!
That is to say, in order to fight the Celestial Army, the Manchu Qing would rather let the populous and splendid cities become white land, and let those cannibals slaughter the inhabitants.
The largest number of people came from Belarus, a total of 300,000 people, and the conditions for them were even more absolute, directly to the territory!
Yi 60 promised them that if the Heavenly Army was defeated, all the three eastern provinces would be directly assigned to them.
Aren't they afraid to jump out of the grave of their ancestors and teach these descendants of the losers a lesson?
Another 100,000 people were brought in from Northern Europe or from ethnic groups living next to White Russia, all in similar condition.
Whether it is given territory or not, there is one - three days of big rope!
The whole is a group of hungry wolves, surrounding a fat cow to bite and divide up!
After listening to the whole thing, Mai Ke was so angry that he scolded the devil six!
After scolding, he was still angry, thinking that what kind of ghosts these guys had lost their minds and did such a stupid thing that insulted their ancestors.
Seeing that Mai Ke was still in it, Jia Wuliang said: "They were originally invaded by foreign races, otherwise they wouldn't have said, 'I'd rather give a friend than a house slave', it's easy for them to understand this." ”
Mai Ke suddenly woke up to the fact that he used the views of later generations, that is, the concept of the country, and also made value judgments on this matter.
He said to ordinary people that there is no home without a country, so to protect the family, we must defend the country.
But as for the Manchus, they knew that if they were overthrown by the Han Chinese, the hatred accumulated by their ancestors and successive emperors would be like a vast ocean, enough to drown them.
Therefore, they would rather use all means, even borrowing troops from abroad, and even splitting up the territory, to suppress this anti-Qing force at home.
One is to die if you fail, and the other is to make your territory smaller, and this trade-off is easy to choose!
Therefore, Mai Ke also lost his anger, and these remnants were just scheming and dying and struggling!
Aren't you here to take advantage of the fire to rob the Japanese invaders, the White Russians, and the small Nordic countries?
I swear that you will steal chickens and rice, and meat buns will never come back to beat dogs!
cough! In a hurry, it seems inappropriate to beat the dog, but there is no meaning to return, so it's like this first!
Also, since you dare to come, I tell you the truth, you are all in a big deal!
If you don't come, I still want to go to you?
How can I not laugh at the handle you sent to the door this time?
You just wanted to pick up the bargain, and you didn't expect that even your ancestors' family business would be handed over to me, right?
Jia Wuliang opened a line of thought for Mai Ke in one sentence, and after thinking about it along this line of thought, he found that everything was quite good!
All things work together for the good of those who love God!
Jia Wuliang saw that Mai Ke listened to his words, his frowning brows relaxed, and his face changed from angry to sunny sunrise, and he couldn't help asking, "Have you figured it out?"
"That's right! I've figured it out! Thank you, unscrupulous brother! You're very good! Now let's talk about you, are you going to rest for a few days? Or are you going to go back to your Tianji Pavilion? Or are you going to join the intelligence column of the Heavenly Army? Or join the staff of the Heavenly Army as an intelligence expert? It's okay to follow me these days, give me advice or something at any time, or just like just now, come and knock on the side!" Mai Ke really appreciates Jia Wuliang a little now.
"I'll go with you for a few days!" Mai Ke admired him a little; he admired Mai Ke immensely! Wouldn't it be stupid not to seize this opportunity quickly!
Knowing that the sixth man personally brought a million miscellaneous armies combining Chinese and foreign to support the decisive battle of the two rivers, Xianfeng had mixed feelings in his heart!
The matter of Lao Liu and Lan'er, no matter how secret, how can there be an impermeable wall?
Besides, although the emperor went on an expedition, how could he not leave people in the palace to take care of it?
Both light and dark are essential.
So he quickly learned what was going on there.
The two are far apart, they are not annoyed, if the sixth child comes, dangling in front of him, it is inevitable that he will be angry and take down this lewd thief!
However, now is never the time to do such a thing!
So, on the eve of the arrival and convergence of Lao Liu's million-strong army, Xianfeng's central army resolutely set off again and assaulted the Huai River battlefield! .
