The splendid Forbidden City is the pride of the Chinese nation. However, now it has become an enemy, possessed by barbarian chieftains, entrenched by barbarian beasts, parasitized by blood-devouring moths, ugly and hideous mites rampant among them, disgusting and twisted mites live in front of the Han Dynasty, castrated minions prostrate and kowtow, Tatar aliens mate and reproduce, sow eggs to plague China, and leave a hundred poisons for eternity. There is no day, no moon at night, ghosts are in charge, and the wind is raging.

On the morning of this day, a huge bloody storm suddenly set off in the Forbidden City, Aobai's younger brother Mulima and nephew Nerdu, the deputy head of the imperial guard, were lured into the Qianqing Palace under the pretext of celebrating the great victory in Guizhou, and were hacked to death by Xiao Mazi's henchmen who were ambushed in the main hall, and several of their hardcore henchmen were also killed together, and most of the rest rebelled, and invested in Xiao Mazi's cronies Kabula, Suo Etu, Mingzhu, Xiong Cixu, Huang Xigon, Wang Hongzuo and others embraced and assisted the imperial party to wipe out the remaining loyal Aobai army in one fell swoop, forbidden palace defense, and Jiumen military power, which changed hands almost instantly!

In just half a day, nearly 100 civil and military officials who were affiliated with the party were either arrested or killed, and the backbone cadres of the Ao Party, such as Bambulshan, Sebende, Taibitu, Asha, Ge Yanha, Nemo, and Jishi, were arrested and imprisoned in prison on charges of worshipping the party and bullying the monarch and disrupting the government. Hundreds of people were killed in large-scale operations, and Qi Tuo, the commander of the Fengtai battalion outside Yanjing City, who was loyal to Aobai, was hacked to death by his subordinates without knowing it, and none of the old and weak women and children in the family were spared, and the Fengtai camp also fell into the hands of the imperial party.

To the surprise of most people, usually silent only know that only Ao Bai Ma Shou is the last of the four auxiliary ministers of Zhan and Mites, since it was unexpectedly not included in the list of arrests, it was not until Xiao Mazi announced that the fourth son of Curb Pillong's imperial guard Yin De had a meritorious hand, and everyone suddenly realized that he had already betrayed Ao Bai and secretly threw himself into the arms of the imperial party. It is precisely because of this that after the sudden collapse of the Ao Party, there was no great turmoil in the government of the capital, and the old ministers led by Kubilong came forward to stabilize the situation in the capital for Xiao Mazi, and also laid a solid foundation for Xiao Mazi's real governance.

The action of eradicating the Ao Party in just one day seems to be easy and smooth, but who can know how much effort and how much preparation the Xiao Mazi party has made for this day, and how much time has it been prepared to achieve this effect? Who can know how much sacrifice and effort Xiao Mazi and his party have paid in secret for this day, so that they can not be chaotic in the rush to get rid of the Aobai party in one fell swoop? How many bitterness and bitterness there are during this period, how many stormy waves, I'm afraid that the party Xiao Mazi himself can't remember so much, right?

On the morning of July 15, the overall situation was settled, and more than 20 backbone members of the Ao Party did not even have the qualifications to be interrogated, so they were directly beheaded by Xiao Mazi out of the noon gate, and their positions were all replaced by Xiao Mazi's confidants and cronies. Xiao Mazi, who had just turned eighteen years old, also became the largest slave owner of the Eight Banners of Mite Qing at this moment, and the life and death of tens of millions of living beings had already been decided by his thoughts.

The dream of eradicating the Ao Party finally came true, but Xiao Mazi didn't even have time to be complacent, because what prompted Xiao Mazi to make up his mind to suddenly make a move against the Ao Party was the latest battle report of the Mites from the southwest - the 220,000 counterinsurgency army was almost wiped out in Guizhou, and only less than 30,000 of the Mites fled back to Huguang, and the elite of the Mites were almost empty! Ao Bai died in battle! Iron hat Wang Jieshu captured! Shuncheng County King Leerjin was captured! The rest of the Belle beers who were captured and killed are countless!

The bad news came one after another, the Yunnan-Guizhou army counterattacked on the whole front, the main force entered Huguang, the army did not arrive, the remnants of the Qing army had given up most of the Biyuan and retreated to Yuezhou, Lu Zhen, the governor of Biyuan, abandoned Changsha and ran to Yuezhou, and Cai Yurong, the governor of Huguang and Sichuan provinces, who personally sent grain to the front line, heard on the way that the main force of the Qing army was destroyed, and actually led the army back to Wuchang overnight, Huguang was shaken, and there were countless local officials who abandoned their posts and fled! Wherever the blade of the Yungui army is pointing, no city or horse dares to stop it, and the fall of the whole territory of Biyuan is a foregone conclusion!

On the 19th of July, the new bad news came, the Wu army parted to the division of Wang Ping Domain's 10,000 horses into Sichuan, and the 20,000 horses of the Prince of Jian's Labu Department stationed in Yucheng did not dare to fight, and the Sichuan general soldiers Wu Zhimao and Tan Hong were ordered to reinforce Yucheng during the period, they actually defected to the Wu army, under the banner of killing Ao Baiyu Dang on the side of the Qing monarch, and joined forces with Wang Ping Fan to attack Yucheng, Labu could not resist, and was forced to lead the army to break through and flee back to Yuezhou by water. In Sichuan, there is no longer an army that can block the blade of the Wu army, and the fall of the entire territory of Sichuan is almost a foregone conclusion!

One after another urgent reminders were sent to the capital, and Xiao Mazi, who had just been in charge, was caught off guard, and even had the heart to die head-on, and scolded Tuhai, Yue Le and Rabu for being incompetent, scolded local officials for being incompetent, and even viciously cursed Ao Bai for being as stupid as a pig, and deserved to die, and even lost more than a quarter of the country's troops at once! In addition, Xiao Mazi is even less allowed to scold Wu Sangui's old thief for being deceitful and vicious, as a slave lackey, he dared to fight against the master of the mite Qing, and vowed to break Wu Sangui's old thief into thousands of pieces, crush the bones and scatter ashes!

Also anxious as ants on a hot pot are the many lackeys of Xiao Mazi, and the old witch of Xiao Mazi's grandmother Xiaozhuang and the last old minister of Mite Qing are also in a hurry to smoke above their heads, in addition to ordering the mobilization of troops to the south for reinforcements and crazy conscription to prepare for war, Xiao Mazi also issued a decree under the suggestion of Ji Bilong, ordering Tuhai and Yue Le and others to send envoys to the north, and report the actual battle situation of the Guizhou War to Xiao Mazi in person, so as to formulate a contingency strategy.

By the way, although Xiao Mazi was very dissatisfied with the cowardice and incompetence of Curb Pilon, and imagined that Curb Pilon was also imprisoned in the prison in history, but the current situation is critical, and Xiao Mazi, who is almost no one available, has to change his mind and continue to keep Curb Pilon in the court.

Fortunately, Tu Hai, Yue Le and the others also took into account that Xiao Mazi needed to master the real Yungui battle situation, and at the same time, the various new firearms that appeared in the ranks of the Wu army on the Yungui battlefield must also be shown to Xiao Mazi, especially to let Xiao Mazi know that it was not that they were incompetent, but that the firearms of the Yungui army were too terrifying - they could even fly in the air to bomb the enemy! Therefore, after careful consideration, before the whole army withdrew to Yuezhou, Tuhai and Yue Le sent Zhou Peigong, the eyeliner used by Xiao Mazi to monitor Aobai, as a messenger, and asked him to return to the capital in advance, report the actual military situation of Yungui to Xiao Mazi, and by the way, submit the military intelligence report jointly signed by Tuhai, Yue Le and Chani.

When Zhou Peigong hurried back to the capital, the time was already the twenty-fourth day of July in the eleventh year of Kang Mazi, although the red-eyed Xiao Mazi would have even chopped Zhou Peigong's mind, but in order to grasp the real battle situation on the front line, Xiao Mazi still suppressed the anger in his heart, and summoned Zhou Peigong in the Heart Cultivation Hall on the same day, and at the same time let several of his important henchmen and lackeys listen to it and study the enemy's strategy together. Because of the importance of the matter, the old witch of Xiaozhuang and Ji Bilong also arrived at the scene together and listened to Zhou Peigong's report with Xiao Mazi.

Zhou Peigong's report began with the submission of Tuhai and Yue Le and others to jointly name the Tang Newspaper, looking at this military intelligence report full of nonsense, Xiao Mazi, who already hated Ao Bai to the bone, even had the mind to chop up the whole family of Ao Bai, and constantly scolded Ao Bai for failing Jun En, he was as stupid as a pig, and he disregarded the public dissuasion from taking risks and entering lightly, and lost the elite of the Qing Dynasty in Guizhou! In the end, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he delayed the opportunity to retreat in order to escape for his own life, resulting in the death of countless Qing Dynasty athletes who had the opportunity to withdraw to Huguang.

Of course, Tuhai and others may be able to hide the military straw bag Xiao Mazi, but they can't hide the old witch of Xiaozhuang, who has grown up in the smoke of war since she was a child, but doubting the truth of this report, Xiaozhuang refused to open her mouth to remind, pointing out that the suspicious point is to cry out for Aobai - after all, now that Aobai is dead, Tuhai and Yue Le and others are defending the Yangtze River defense line, at this time, shouting grievances for Aobai and pointing out that Tuhai and Yue Le vainly reported their deception is not only meaningless, but also unwise! He also saw that there must be something wrong with this Tang newspaper, and he didn't dare to speak up, and he didn't dare to shout for Ao Bai at this time, so that Xiao Mazi, who was already very dissatisfied with him, had more excuses.

"Wu Dog's soldiers flying in the sky?" When he saw the Yungui Air Force raid reported by Tuhai and others, Xiao Mazi couldn't help but be furious and roared: "Wu Gou's soldiers are heavenly soldiers and generals? Can you fly in the sky and throw gunpowder on the ground? There should be a limit to nonsense, right? Wu dog soldiers can fly in the sky, so why don't they fly into the Forbidden City? ”

"Your Majesty, the slave dares to use his head to guarantee that he did not lie and deceive the king." Zhou Peigong kowtowed tremblingly and said: "The slave saw with his own eyes, Wu Sangui's thief soldiers flew in the air and threw gunpowder on the ground, and our Qing army was frightened by this scene, so the whole army collapsed!" The slave has half a false speech, and is willing to accept the crime of bullying the king. ”

"Fart!" Xiao Mazi roared with red eyes: "Since the Wu dog soldiers can fly in the sky, then you can still escape?" Wu Gou's army flew directly from the sky to Huguang and directly blocked you in Guizhou? Over there, Xiaozhuang, Kubilong and the others also looked at each other, saying that they couldn't believe that someone could really fly into the sky.

"The emperor misunderstood, Wu Sangui's thieves didn't fly by themselves, they relied on three big black fish that could fly in the sky to tie bamboo baskets and bring them to the sky." Zhou Peigong kowtowed to explain, and quickly took out a picture from his arms, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Lafayette, the slave also knows that it is difficult to imagine that people fly in the sky, but fortunately, the slave was on the scene at that time to see clearly how Wu Dog flew into the sky, and afterwards drew a picture of the general appearance, please take a look at the emperor." ”

"Pick it up." Xiao Mazi urged loudly, Zhang Wanqiang, the chief eunuch of the Yangxin Palace, did not dare to slack off, hurriedly came over to take over Zhou Peigong's drawing, and hurriedly held it with both hands and sent it to Xiao Mazi, because the pace was too fast, Zhang Wanqiang also tripped and fell under his feet when he handed the picture to Xiao Mazi, and Xiao Mazi, who was already in an extremely bad mood, finally found an excuse to vent, kicked Zhang Wanqiang in the face, kicked him all over the face, and roared and dragged it down to hit the twenty boards, Then he lowered his head and took a closer look at the appearance of Wu Jun's airship painted by Zhou Peigong.

Don't look at Zhou Peigong's extremely bad character, one hand Danqing is quite able to enter Xiao Mazi's pockmarked eyes, and the appearance of the Wu Army airship depicted is also quite accurate, not only depicting in detail the lower rattan boat where the Wu soldiers are seated, but also depicting the front wing, tail and back propeller of the airship airbag in detail, and Xiao Mazi carefully looked at it for a long time, and finally saw some fame, and said hesitantly: "Could it be that this is a Western machine?" Why haven't I heard Westerners say it before? ”

Xiaozhuang and Kubilong also came over, and after watching carefully with Xiao Mazi for a long time, Xiaozhuang also hesitated and said: "The mourning family doesn't know much about Western things, but judging from their appearance, these strange screw ropes should look like Westerners' things, who helped Wu Sangui make them?" ”

"Lu Yifeng!" Before Xiaozhuang's words fell, Xiao Mazi, Zhou Peigong, Xiong Cilu, Kong Sizhen and others present had already exclaimed in unison, "Lu Yifeng! It must be that dog minion! Wu Yingxiong also said that Lu Yifeng's attainments in this area are definitely the first in the world! ”

"Your Majesty, the minions also think that Lu Yifeng's thief is the ghost." Zhou Peigong kowtowed and said: "At that time, on the battlefield in Guizhou, Wu Sangui's thief army used several new firearms one after another, all of which were unseen and unheard of. The slave also saw with his own eyes in the clairvoyant mirror that Lu Yifeng, the dog thief, commanded the firearms team of the Wu Dog Thief Army, and killed more than 20,000 of our Eight Banners Iron Cavalry in less than half an hour! ”

"Dog thief! Lu Yifeng! Dog thief! Xiao Mazi's eyes were red again, and he yelled hysterically and madly: "Why didn't I slaughter you, a dog thief, in the first place?" Why did you leave such a scourge behind?! ”

Seeing Xiao Mazi's hysterical and crazy appearance, everyone present, including the old witch of Xiaozhuang, did not dare to say anything, for fear that mentioning Xiao Mazi's stupid trust in Lu Fatzi back then would embarrass Xiao Mazi to the point of being embarrassed. It wasn't until a long time later, until Xiao Mazi's voice was hoarse and his throat was dry, that Xiong Cixu said cautiously: "Your Majesty, according to Weichen's opinion, why don't you send this picture to me Dai Zi Dai Wenkai, the first skilled craftsman in the Qing Dynasty, to see if he can imitate it?" If I can, then I don't have to worry too much about the flying army of Wu Sangui's thief army on the battlefield. ”

"Good idea, ...... quickly." Xiao Mazi was overjoyed, and when he was about to hold up the sketch that Zhou Peigong drew silently, Xiao Mazi's heart moved again, and he changed his words: "No, just send Dai Zi over, I want to ask him face to face to see if he can make this flying weapon." Pass it now, quickly! ”

The eunuchs and guards took the order and left, Xiao Mazi tried to suppress the anger in his heart, turned around and went to see the military intelligence report of Tuhai and Yue Le and others, and also interrogated the specific battle situation from Zhou Peigong, and when he heard that it was Lu Fatzi who attacked Bajiang City and cut off the return route of the mite Qing army, Xiao Mazi almost went crazy again, patted the dragon case and yelled, "Lu Yifeng, dog thief!" Scourge! I will not kill you, this scourge, and I will not be a man! ”

"Your Majesty, the slave has something to ask Lord Zhou, please ask the emperor for permission." Ji Bilong, who had barely spoken, suddenly spoke, and after getting Xiao Mazi's permission, Ji Bilong turned to Zhou Peigong and asked: "Lord Zhou, you reported that it was the thief who took Lu Yifeng to raid Bajiang City by taking a small road, cutting off the way back for the main force of our army - but as far as the old man knows, most of the roads in Guizhou are narrow and rugged, and the small roads are even more difficult and difficult to walk. ”

"Oh no, this old thing has a flaw." Zhou Peigong complained bitterly in his heart, but his face remained silent, as if he replied very honestly: "Back to Zhongtang, here's the thing, according to the report of the generals of our army, the thief general Lu Yifeng did not attack Bajiang by surprise, but it was only because the army in our army was slow to march under the leadership of Ao Zhongtang, and the troops of the front army led by Prince Kang were too small, so we did not break through Bajiang, and it also led to Prince Kang being unfortunately captured during the charge of the army himself. ”

"Is Ao Bai such a greedy person who is afraid of death? The Jie Shu kid also has the courage to lead the army to charge in person? Did you hear me right? He wondered in his heart, but he didn't dare to investigate it without evidence, so he nodded reluctantly and said, "Oh, I see, the old man understands, the emperor and Lord Zhou, please continue." ”

"It's a good thing, this old thing didn't dare to dig deeper." Zhou Peigong observed his words and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he did not dare to offend the front-line generals, let alone offend the mysterious captured iron hat Wang Jieshu, so he took the initiative to retreat.

"Aobai, old thief, old thief!" Xiao Mazi didn't care so much, he just scolded Ao Bai for being incompetent and shameless, and even suspected that Ao Bai was deliberately defeating his main force of the Eight Banners, so that the Yungui army could calmly counterattack on all fronts.

Next, Xiao Mazi interrogated the situation of Wu Jun's new firearms in detail, and also interrogated in detail why Tuhai and Yue Le and others gave up most of the reasons for retreating to Yuezhou, while Zhou Peigong exaggerated the power of Wu's firearms and did not make them look too incompetent, while pushing all the sins on Aobai, who was no longer able to defend himself, and insisted that it was Aobai who ordered Tuhai and Yue Le and others to retreat to the north of the Yangtze River, and Yue Le and Tuhai and others only retreated to Yuezhou and Wuchang when they disobeyed the order. These two Yangtze River throats were saved, so Tu Hai, Yue Le and others were innocent and meritorious, and the fault was all in Aobai.

The mites all boasted that Xiao Mazi was invincible in the world, unparalleled in the world, and all of them were incompetent in civil and martial arts, and all of them were refined, but in fact, the little Mazi in history personally went out to fight hundreds of Cossack musketeers in Yaksa with the soldiers of the whole country, not only did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, but also gave away the whole of Siberia. The three pro-expeditions to Geerdan are even more ugly, and the soldiers of the whole country can't beat the power of one of Geerdan's tribes, and finally Geerdan immediately had a stroke and died on the woman's belly, and Xiao Mazi was still cheering on the embankment of the Yellow River, looking up to the sky and rejoicing, and he put the credit for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases on himself.

With such a military talent, looking at the military intelligence report of Tuhai and others, Xiao Mazi naturally couldn't see the slightest flaw and problem, not only did he not suspect Tuhai and Yue Le and others of cheating, but also scolded Ao Bai like thunder and scolded a dog bloody head, if it wasn't for the old witch of Xiaozhuang to stop calmly, Xiao Mazi would have ordered the whole family of Ao Bai to be cut off on the spot. And finally after reading the lengthy military intelligence report of Tuhai and others, the eunuch outside the Yangxin Palace came to report, saying that the attendant of the Hanlin Academy had reached Dai Zi, and Xiao Mazi finally ended his scolding and accusation against Aobai, and hurriedly issued an order to pass it on.

After a while, Dai Zi, who was already quite favored by Xiao Mazi, was led into the hall, and after kowtowing, Xiao Mazi immediately asked the eunuch to hand over Wu Jun's airship map to Dai Zi, and asked Dai Zi if he could copy it. And after Dai Zi heard that the actual application of the weapon on the picture turned out to be flying to kill the enemy, Dai Zi couldn't help but exclaim, "How is it possible?" Yungui also has a weapon that can fly into the sky? ”

"Dai Aiqing, what do you mean by that?" Xiao Mazi asked suspiciously: "Yungui also has a weapon that can fly into the sky?" What does the word 'also' mean? ”

"Back to the emperor, as far as Wei Chen knows, there is a famous craftsman named Xu Zhengming in Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture, who has also created tools that can fly into the sky." Dai Zi replied honestly: "But I heard that the flying tool he built is very small, only a chair is your size, and it can only carry one person more than a foot high at a time, and fly more than ten zhang away, unlike a flying boat like Yungui, which can carry several soldiers at a time, and can fly dozens or hundreds of zhang high." ”

"Fuck, why do you Han barbarians always like to tinker with these KitKat silver tricks? One will fly to the sky and the other will be away, will you still dive in the future? Xiao Mazi, who was red-eyed, scolded regardless of his identity, and asked sharply: "Can you imitate these Wu dog flying boats on the picture?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Weichen can't make it." Dai Zi shook his head and replied: "The flying boat on the picture is too vague, how to fly, why it can fly, I can't see it, and Weichen can't imitate it at all." Unless it is to let Weichen see the real thing, there may be some hope. ”

"Waste ......." Xiao Mazi, who was extremely anxious, almost scolded again, and after seeing the eyes of the old demon woman of Xiaozhuang, Xiao Mazi forcibly suppressed his anger and sighed weakly: "Could it be that our Qing army is destined to be slaughtered by the flying boat of Wu Sangui's thief army in the future, and there is no power to fight back?" ”

No one could answer Xiao Mazi's question, and the thought of guarding against a sneak attack from the sky at all times, the only one present who had experience in the battlefield was shuddering just from imagination, and he was also worried in his heart - if Wu Sangui's army had such a terrifying flying weapon, would the Yangtze River fortresses of Yuezhou and Wuchang really be able to hold it?

"Your Majesty, to deal with the flying boat of Wu Sangui's thief army, the minions have an idea." Kong Sizhen suddenly spoke, and said cautiously: "Since we in the Qing Dynasty have no way to prevent the flying boats of Wu Sangui's thief army, and there is no way to imitate them, why don't we win over the people who built these flying boats?" In this way, our Qing Dynasty can not only know the weakness of the thief army's flying boats, but also build more flying boats to exterminate Wu Sangui's thief army? Haven't the various new firearms of Wu Sangui's thief army also become the emperor's bag? ”

"Win over Lu Yifeng's dog brute?" Xiao Mazi's heart moved, and soon he said angrily: "Is it possible? I have already undressed Lu Yifeng's dog thief, and he still has the face to live up to my expectations of him, which is enough to prove that this dog thief is born against me, and he is determined to fight against me, how can I win him over? ”

"Your Majesty, there is nothing in the world that cannot be bought, only people who can't afford it." Xiaozhuang also suddenly spoke, and said slowly: "Besides, Your Majesty, have you really undressed Lu Yifeng and pushed him to eat?" If the mourning family is not mistaken, it seems that the emperor has never really paid attention to Lu Yifeng, a courtier, right? ”

(To be continued)
