The fourth elder brother and Li Guangdi and other members of the Manchu negotiation team finally took a boat from Xuzhou to the south, but the road along the river has changed color, and the changes along the river are faster than in other places of the people. Caoyun was originally an organization of the state within a country under the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but now it has allowed the southern government to integrate this force with her special method, and the "China COSCO Co., Ltd." established by the Cao Gang is a thug and tentacle of professional public-private cooperation in the Chinese Empire.

All the larger ships along the river carried the "national flag" of the Chinese Empire, the Xinghuang Feilong Flag, or the Xinghua Party flag, the "Five Star/Red Flag", and some of them also carried various flags representing their branches in the Chinese Mainland. Those people in the Cao Yun world are dressed differently, but there are no money rat tails, and there are many bald heads.

Because the ship of the negotiating delegation was too large and hung the dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty, and because of the service of the guards wearing the Qing Dynasty guarding outside the ship, it actually caused trouble.

As a result, more and more people gathered on the canal, and finally blocked the entire river and stopped the mission boats.

The fourth elder brother was in the cabin for the nth time thinking about what the Ulanala clan had told him, when he suddenly heard a voice outside.

"Wu Na Qing dog, dare to offend my empire, surrender quickly! Otherwise, we will be welcome!"

The fourth elder brother hurriedly went out of the cabin, and at this time, Li Guangdi had already taken a step out of the cabin, and saw that the river was blocked with layers of boats, and all the bald or long-haired men were holding swords and looking like they were about to attack at any time.

Li Guangdi was startled, and hurriedly clenched his fists, took a sip of Beijing tablets, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are the negotiation delegation sent to Nanjing by the Great Qing Dynasty.

A bald-headed man in Hanfu pointed at Li Guangdi with a golden wire ring knife and scolded: "Nonsense, why haven't I heard that Qinggou has sent an embassy?

Li Guangdi clenched his fist to the north and said, "This official is Li Guangdi, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, who carries the edict of the Great Qing Dynasty and goes to Nanjing to negotiate in person. It's not a spy!"

Suddenly, a scribe in his twenties stepped out of a ship in front of him, dressed in an elegant white Confucian shirt, with black hair like a waterfall, and a flying headband.

The man said, "You are Lee Kwang-di?"

Li Guangdi was startled at first, then clenched his fists and said, "This official is exactly." ”

Suddenly, the man pointed at him and laughed, and said, "He said he is Li Guangdi." ”

The man had internal strength, and people from all boats near and far heard it, and hundreds of men laughed like that. This laughter is so strong that it is like the cry of thousands of armies, breaking through the sky, which makes people frightened.

Li Guangdi was not defeated because of this, he was red-faced, and said angrily: "This official is Li Guangdi, if you are fake, are you too rude?"

The man in the white shirt shook his folding fan and said, "We are a country of etiquette, and we Chinese/Imperial people naturally treat people with dignity with courtesy. But what's the use of giving face to shameless people?"

Li Guangdi was furious and said: "Are you looking for a good thing? I will go to Nanjing to meet the New Year's ...... Negotiate with your court. Can you afford to delay such a great event?"

The man in white shirt said again, "Your name is Li Guangdi?"

"The official said, it is Li Guangdi. ”

"You want to go to Nanjing to meet Her Majesty the Empress on behalf of the Manchu Dynasty?"

"This official is one of the Holy Lord's orders. ”

"Well, you change your name, and we'll let you go. ”

Li Guangdi was surprised and said, "Don't deceive people too much, your name is given by your parents and elders, how can you change it without permission?"

The man shook his fan and sneered: "In order for you to be a good slave, your ancestors don't want it, what are your parents and elders? Originally, it was none of my business, but I happen to be surnamed Li, I don't allow a traitor like you to be a slave with the surname Li, you must change your surname if you don't change your name, you are not allowed to have the surname Li!"

Suddenly, many men on both sides of the river shouted, shouting one by one: "I am also surnamed Li, and Li Guangdi is not allowed to be surnamed Li!"

"Li Guangdi is not allowed to have the surname Li!!"

Hundreds of people shouted along, and the momentum really shook the mountains and the sea.

Li Guangdi, who is about to retire, is also the first time to see such a strange thing, but when he talks about the word traitor, he can't help but feel a little weak.

"Don't deceive people too much, you are deliberate, who gave you the guts?!"

The man said: "I don't talk nonsense with you, anyway, if your surname is Li, you are not allowed to cross! This river is our master, Han/traitor and dog are not allowed to pass from here, you quickly change your surname, from now on you are not Han, we will temporarily see what you represent to give you over!"

Li Guangdi was about to faint, and the Chinese, whether it was the Qing Dynasty or not, took the surname ancestor very seriously. This kind of change of surname is the ultimate insult.

Seeing that Li Guangdi couldn't handle it, the fourth elder brother also came forward, hugged his fists and said: "I am the fourth elder brother of the Qing Dynasty, you have something to say, don't hurt the harmony." I want to ...... Your Empress doesn't want to hurt her peace now. ”

Suddenly, the bald man shouted in a short shirt: "Qing/Dog! You dare to be disrespectful to Her Majesty the Empress! Her Majesty the Empress is the co-ruler of the Central Plains, what is our Empress? Isn't it your Empress? There are only two kinds of people in the Central Plains World, Her Majesty's people and Her Majesty's minions! May I ask the boy who speaks wildly, what kind of are you?!"

When the fourth elder brother heard this, his face couldn't help but turn red and white, and his forehead was beating.

The fourth elder brother still has the dignity of a prince in the end, especially after he listened to the bizarre story of the Wulanala clan, he would have been the one who became the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, where could he stand such nonsense?

The fourth elder brother couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted loudly: "I am the prince of the Great Qing Dynasty!

The man shouted, "Brothers, how dare he call himself a prince! Obviously, these bald men want to rebel! Brothers, go up and fight and be loyal to Her Majesty!" That man is bald himself, but it is really funny to shout that others are bald.

Then, a group of heroes besieged it, they were already strong in martial arts, familiar with water, and there were not many guards and servants in the mission. Isn't that a slapstick to a dead dog?

Including the fourth elder brother and Li Guangdi, they were kicked several times, yes, they didn't kill them, they just beat them, and then they went into the water. One by one, the Manchu guards also went into the water.

The hooligans were also very funny, and liked to play with the "money/rat tail" of the Qing soldiers, taking off their hats and hitting people in the face while pulling at the thin braids.

Li Guangdi was treated like this, especially when he was beaten, and the people who beat him said: "Just because you are also worthy of the surname Li?"

This tragedy finally came to an end in the belated arrival of the nearby garrison troops, and a battalion commander of the garrison came to mediate, loudly scolding the hooligans, saying: "We, China/the Empire, are a state of etiquette, and the enemy's envoys should also be treated with courtesy.

The gang of hooligans were "persuaded to retreat" in this way, and they scattered one after another, which was jaw-dropping.

Then the battalion commander went to find the fourth elder brother and Li Guang and said: "Two envoys, the world has been decided, and there are many bandits, how can you be so swaggering on the road? People like you don't recruit bandits, who will recruit bandits? Fortunately, I passed by here today, otherwise I might lose my life." ”

The fourth elder brother and Li Guangdi were almost angry and vomited blood, and was it their own fault that they were beaten like this? What about the three views? What about the heavenly principles? Is there no heavenly reason in the world? A sentence of bandit can be regarded as an explanation? Since you are bandits, why don't you officers and soldiers arrest and suppress them?

Lee Kong-di was sharp about the question.

The battalion commander sighed helplessly: "Can they be caught with their martial arts skills? Where can they be arrested? They are just venting their petty emotions about being bullied by the Tartars for many years, and they will not kill people. Didn't Her Majesty the Empress set the Central Plains just to let the Han people and the brothers of the Han people live a dignified and good life? ”

The fourth elder brother's face was pale, and he said that he didn't want to reason with this battalion commander, and then the two sides separated.

Do you want to go south to negotiate? Their ship was wrecked, and most of their salutes were destroyed, but now where are they looking for a ship?

The boat has not been found yet, and many people have fallen ill because of the launch, including the fourth elder brother, who is in better health than others, and they all have a high fever. He was completely stimulated too much, otherwise with the special care of his body by the various crossing women, he would not have been so easy to get sick.

This disease was put aside on the road, and then they wanted to find a place to live, but found that the price of goods was even more outrageous than in Beijing.

The delay was seven days. The fourth elder brother and Li Guangdi thought about going back to Beijing, but thinking that the 200,000 Manchurian elites in Jiangbei were still waiting for them, they endured the humiliation and decided to go south.

Their boat was wrecked, and they couldn't hire a boat to Nanking all over the canal, so they had to look for a carriage.

Four ordinary carriages were rented at a sky-high price of 2,000 taels, and then the fourth elder brother and other high-grade officials took the carriage, while the guards walked and went to Nanjing. It didn't take long on the road, and there were all kinds of angry and funny situations, but I can't count them in detail.

……

Jiangbei.

The sound of hooves rumbled like thunder, and the earth shook violently, as if an earth dragon was awakening and turning over. Smoke and dust filled the air, and thousands of cavalry roared past.

Nian Qianyao is the leader of this cavalry, as the "imperial brother", and is the winner of the first phase of the golden sword of the army of the Nanjing Central Military Academy.

After the accumulated merits of the Anhui War, he has been promoted from the battalion commander at the beginning of the war to the regiment commander, and now the army is attacking Jiangbei, and he was appointed as the acting brigade commander of the cavalry pioneer brigade. As long as he makes more military exploits, his word "generation" can be removed.

And this cavalry brigade is said to be a brigade, but in fact the number is 8,000 people, all elite, including one battalion of heavy cavalry, two battalions of artillery/soldiers, two battalions of fire/spearmen, one battalion of guns/cavalry, and one battalion of crossbows/arrows. In addition to the heavy cavalry, in addition to their own main weapons, each warrior also carried high-carbon steel horizontal knives and grenades.

Many of their war horses were supplemented by Mongolian war horses obtained from the Anhui battlefield, and their artillery also had a lot of camels, which were constantly "smuggled" from the northwest by partners from all over the Cao Gang over the years, and were specially prepared for logistics work.

Nian Qianyao got the scout's report, and the Qing army was spotted in front of him, and he originally thought that the Qing army was going to hide in the woods and want to ambush his vanguard army.

Unexpectedly, the other party's army gathered to fight him. Nian Qianyao subconsciously touched the plum blossom symbol on the golden sword under his waist, which is the school flower of the Nanjing Central Military Academy and the flower of Nanjing.

There are several Xinghua military academies, and the school flowers of each military school are different, so the marks on the sabers given by the school to the graduates to fight for the country are also different.

For example, the flower on the saber of the Xinghua Party Military Academy in Kunming is a camellia, the saber of the Nanyang Military Academy is a orchid, the Guangzhou Military Academy is a red cotton, and the saber of the Nanjing Central Military Academy is a plum blossom.

The sabers given by the military academy are divided into gold, silver, bronze, and iron. The blade of the golden knife is not made of soft and expensive gold, but the blade is still made of stainless steel, and the unique number of the military academy graduate is engraved on the sword. However, the handle of the knife has emblems and engravings made of gold, and is inlaid with jade and jade, while silver, copper, and iron are naturally made of silver, copper, and iron. The combat knife given by the military academy is a symbol of honor for the outstanding graduates of the military academy.

Each year, the first, second, and third graduates will receive special gold, silver, and bronze swords, and other qualified graduates will receive iron swords. Every year, the competition for the golden sword among the military cadets is very fierce, and Nian Qianyao is also very proud of his strength to win the first place, and he feels happier than when he was admitted to the Jinshi.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was a heavy army of up to 10,000 people, and Nian Qianyao did not retreat, and the constant killing on the battlefield made his heart as cold as iron.

The 8,000 men and horses and tens of thousands of livestock of the cavalry brigade discovered that the other party had sent Mongolian scouts to harass the cavalry brigade beside them.

Nian Qianyao was not only familiar with the scriptures and history, but he was also a banner man in the past, and he was very familiar with some of the Manchu and Mongol tactics.

Determined to kill the arrogance of the gangsters, he ordered the sharpshooters in the fire/gun battalion to fight the Mongol scouts who came to harass them. Since the men had been swimming fifty meters away, they noticed that they were slacking off, and they immediately ran away. The bodies of the people on horseback are as if they are glued to the horseback, they are too powerful, and they are usually fifty meters away, and they are relatively scattered, and it is not easy for fire/guns to hit. But firing a platoon of guns for these rangers is too wasteful of ammunition.

Bang bang!

The dull sound of gunfire continued to sound, and those Mongolian rangers fifty meters away fell off their horses one by one, some broke their hands and feet, some broke their necks, and some of their feet were still being dragged away on the horse, and they had already died.

The other rangers were frightened and hurried back.

The other party stopped for a while, and Nian Qianyao also sent harassers from the crossbow/arrow battalion to return the favor from fifty meters away from his camp. Although the Mongols were skilled in cavalry and archery, they were able to produce limited steel throughout the Manchu Dynasty, and much of the steel was used to make redcoats/cannons, but after the southern government conquered half of the country, it vigorously developed early industrial iron-making technology, and refined high-quality and low-cost manganese steel, high-hard steel, and tin steel according to the proportions that Yuyao remembered, and supplied a large number of military and agricultural needs.

Many of the arrows of the Mongolian cavalry are still made of bone, and there is no way for the officers and soldiers of the Chinese crossbow/arrow battalion wearing steel helmets and iron armor on their bodies to harass them, and that layer of "body armor" is not easy to break with Mongolian scimitars, let alone shooting with bone arrows from 50 meters away.

The crossbow design of the crossbow camp is very exquisite, in addition to absorbing the basic principles of the ancient Chinese bow/crossbow, its design is small, and its special accessory - "arrow warehouse" is invented, which greatly improves the rate of fire. The "arrow compartment" is equipped with a spring, as long as the switch is pressed, the spring will bounce the next arrow into the arrow groove of the crossbow, and then pull the handle to pull the slingshot up, aim and fire. Generally speaking, a shooter pulling a strong bow and shooting ten arrows is very tiring and needs to take a break, but an archer with this crossbow/arrow still has the strength to fire thirty arrows.

In fact, the Chinese National Defense Forces are hooligans and bullies.

……

Hundreds of people harassed the 10,000-strong Manchu and Mongolian army, perhaps they were not good at shooting crossbows/arrows from 50 meters away, but the Manchu and Mongolian troops could not shoot them either, and the arrows fell from the steel helmets and body armor. Even the warriors and shooters in Manchu and Mongolia couldn't help them, which made the soldiers of the Manchurian and Mongolian coalition army angry and their eyes bloodshot. When they came after them on horseback and wielding knives, they either ran or shot them with crossbows and ran again.

Nian Qianyao also calmed down, and kept harassing the other party like this, until two days later, he had pulled the army to within 800 meters and stopped harassing.

He ordered the artillery to erect a lightweight 85 mm grenade and cannon, a newly developed light gun with an effective range of 1,500 meters, which could be disassembled and easily carried.

There are also various types of cannons/shells, such as burning/burning/shells, lighting/shells, smoke/shells, and now the most is anti-personnel shells, which are a kind of vicious cannons/shells that bloom and contain many fragments and projectiles.

Bang bang, as the smoke and dust rose, almost at the same time, this Manchurian and Mongolian army that had been carefully tugging at the Chinese army exploded/exploded.

The horses screamed and screamed, the blood and flesh of the Manchurian army flew together, the horses that did not die were frightened, many soldiers fell off their horses, and they were trampled into flesh by their own horses one by one.

The artillery/soldiers calibrated and adjusted the Zhu Yuan, and after firing a round in a row, Nian Qianyao took the lead in rushing to the Manchurian and Mongolian army with the horizontal knife battalion to cut and slash, disrupting the final order of the Manchu and Mongolian army formation, followed by the lancer battalion with a long spear more than four meters long to attack in a row, like Zhu Bajie's rake or fishing net to plow through the position. The crossbow/arrow light cavalry is chasing and killing the guerrillas.

The firemen/spearmen did not have their turn to attack this time due to the fact that they were on the horse, and the heavy armor/cavalry did not eat meat.

This time, more than 5,000 people from the Manchu-Mongolian coalition army were killed, and more than 6,000 escaped.

The Vanguard Brigade continued to insert/penetrate into the hinterland of enemy garrisons......

Five days later, Nian Qianyao's troops were surrounded and suppressed by more than 30,000 enemies, which was also his honor, and the Tutubao change between Mongolia and 200,000 Ming troops was about the same number.

This was also because some of the fleeing Qing soldiers recognized Nian Qianyao, and Tong Guowei and other high-ranking Manchu military leaders decided to send a large army to capture the "imperial brother" of the southern government alive and bargain with the southern government, or kill the "imperial brother" of the southern rebels to improve morale.

However, in this battle, Nian Qianyao was not as mobile as he was, and the Chinese army was tired of equipment, and it was impossible to catch up with the cavalry sent by him.

The Manchu cavalry was red-eyed and sent suicidal assault on Nian Qianyao's troops, and it was then that the fire/gun battalion came in handy, and they preferred to brake with static......

Nian Qianyao held out for a day, and the follow-up troops of the First Army all arrived and carried out a brutal, almost one-sided massacre of the soldiers of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners.

Nian Qianyao watched the brother troops disarm those surrendered troops and rushed together, and then nearly 5,000 soldiers pulled out their horizontal knives and rushed into the bloody slashing of tens of thousands of Qing troops.

Nian Qianyao couldn't help but say to the commander of the first division: "They have already surrendered, why do you want to kill them?"

"With the order of the General Staff Department, the goal of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners in Jiangbei is to annihilate them all. The 200,000 men and horses in Manchu and Mongolia did not die 180,000, and the battle of Jiangbei was considered a failure. ”

"What? Who came up with this crooked idea that will cause the enemy army to fight us to the death?" Although Nian Qianyao, as the "imperial brother", does not have a knighthood and is only a colonel, no one in the officialdom of the southern government dares to offend him, and he really can't help but dare to question the orders of the superiors.

The division commander glanced at him, his eyes were cold, and said, "According to Commander Long, this is the instructions of Her Majesty the Empress personally to the General Staff. No matter what method is used, in Chongyang next month, when Her Majesty the Empress crosses the river to Yangzhou to pay tribute to the 80 compatriots who died in Yangzhou on the 10th, our army must annihilate more than 180,000 people in Zhenman and Mongolia, wash away the national shame with blood, and avenge the compatriots. Otherwise, Colonel, you and I will have to suspend and return to the military academy to study!"

Nian Qianyao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, thinking of his sister, who had been loved by their Nian family since childhood, and he was in awe and even fear. She is a woman, why is she so murderous?

But the military order was like a mountain and had to be carried out.

The Manchus had this new fiasco, and their morale was weak, but they suddenly heard the news that the Holy Lord had sent people to negotiate peacefully with the rebels in the south, and there was no need to fight this battle. As soon as this news came out, it quickly spread among the army, and the Qing officers and soldiers who had been beaten cold seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and seemed to have been redeemed. Even if the high-level generals tell them not to relax, they can't stop their desire to go home safely, and fighting with the Chinese army is simply looking for death, which is an unfair battle. Unbeknownst to them, they were swallowing a poison of euthanasia.

In the second half of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the Chinese Empire, with the First Army and the Second Army of the National Defense Army as the main force, launched a series of wars against the Manchu Eight Banners Army, and the battlefield was extremely bloody and almost one-sided slaughter, and the casualties of the Chinese army were very small.

During the war, many Manchu generals naively tried to persuade the Chinese army to truce before the attack, saying that the two sides were negotiating peace, but those Manchu soldiers who had already feared a glimmer of hope for peace were given that they had not yet received an order from the General Staff to armistice the war. Even the officers below the rank of the Chinese regiment did not know that the General Staff was going to completely annihilate the Qing army before the peace talks, and it was just a good order to serve and kill.

By the end of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, Tong Guowei and Da Ge, the base camp of the Qing army's southern expeditionary army, fled with the Jianrui battalion and some Zhenman more than 10,000 people into Huai'an Mansion, which had not yet fallen to the Chinese Empire. According to the main route of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, although Huai'an Province cannot carry large warships and supply ships, there is no problem with small boats. In fact, they couldn't hold it at all, so the Manchu Qing Dynasty threatened the lives of the people of Huai'an, showing their ugly faces.

This incident, the official and non-governmental newspapers of the Chinese Empire carried a large number of reports, exposing the cruel nature of the Manchu Qing treatment of the Chinese people, and Mr. Reading the Newspaper in the major restaurants while reading the invincible Wang Shi, and at the same time also telling the Manchu Qing in Huai'an perverse cruelty to the Han people.

The cities of the Chinese Empire were in an uproar, and the lucky first batch of middle school students took to the streets to protest against the reactionary Manchu government. The marching youths and young people also called on the peasants and businessmen from all walks of life to donate money to the imperial king's division and contribute to the king's division overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty and liberating the compatriots as soon as possible.

Donations from all walks of life, especially those big businessmen who are inextricably linked to the new government, on the one hand, donations can show their loyalty to the empire, and on the other hand, as long as the country and mountains laid down by the king of the Sinochem Empire are in ruins, they are a good place to do business. As long as the empire wins the war, they have more chances to make a fortune. And those peasants who were allocated land, because the new dynasty had surplus grain in their families, also actively donated grain to the king. The status of craftsmen has also been greatly improved, and in the major factories, skilled craftsmen are treated very well, and they are also beneficiaries and participate in donations. Nowadays, the common people, the identity and cognition of "national" and "country" in big cities have been enlightened. They understood that if the new dynasty fell, they would be deprived of their current happy and stable life and return to the Manchu era. This is something they don't allow.

……

This was the Manchu negotiation mission that had been constantly on the road and finally arrived in Huai'an, and General Long Mo, who was the commander of the theater and commanded the first and second armies, received the mission. He told the mission that he had just received an order from the General Staff of the Imperial Chinese National Defense Force, that the remnants of the Qing army should be recruited and that no more lives should be harmed, but if the Manchu bandits hurt the people, the Chinese army would inevitably cut them to pieces.

At this time, the fourth elder brother had already learned that the 200,000 Manchurian and Mongolian troops had been delayed for nearly 20 days because of their situation on the road, and there were only more than 10,000 people left in this Huai'an Mansion, and his heart was so distressed that he couldn't do more.

When the fourth elder brother faced the heroic, but obviously less than thirty-year-old General Long Mo, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

Long Mo smiled "old blackfish-like" and said: "Mr. Jin, our Chinese National Defense Force is a division of benevolence and righteousness, and since the General Staff Department has given the order, we don't want to kill in vain, let alone harm the people." Go and persuade them to come out and surrender, if we attack, Huai'an City will not be able to hold it. Long Mo also called "Aixin Jueluo" as the Chinese translation of the word "gold", otherwise it would make it seem that the four words "Aixin Jueluo" are mysterious and noble. And Long Mo's "shamelessness" is also deeply rooted in the true legend of "his mother", killing 18/90,000 people, and not a single living captive is actually called a "teacher of benevolence and righteousness". However, Long Mo felt that this time the war had its special political/political/military needs, so he had to do it.

The fourth elder brother raised his head sadly, not wanting tears to flow out, and sighed softly: "200,000 people have been killed, the teacher of benevolence and righteousness...... A good teacher of benevolence and righteousness, a good general, and a good Chinese ...... Queen...... Your Majesty, do you want us to die so much?"

That night, the fourth elder brother of the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered Huai'an Mansion and persuaded the remnants of the Qing army to surrender.

In the afternoon of the next day, Tong Guowei, the eldest brother, and the fourth elder brother led the army out to surrender, and the second army was responsible for disarming and guarding the prisoners. (. Just Love)
