Chapter 861: Great Killing and Great Loyalty
The editor also stared at the round eyes, volcano!? I've only seen this in ancient books and foreigners' accounts, but I didn't expect it to happen!
Meng Songhai then went on to talk about the local natives, who wore straw woven dresses, twisted their waists and swung their arms, and danced to the fierce drum beat, which was particularly tasteful. If you can see the girls of the Feitian Art Workshop dancing that kind of dance, it is worth dying......
The editor swallowed it. Spit, and finally asked the question: "Where is the island?" What's the name you get? ”
Meng Songhai said: "Zidinghai to the east, about 17,000 miles, the fast boat can be reached in twenty days, as for the name...... The locals called the archipelago Hawaii, and the largest island was called Honolulu, but I was lazy, so I didn't change my name. ”
Editing and swallowing again, 17,000 miles......
"And what are the Navy and the Ocean Fleet going to do...... Hawaii? ”
Hawaii has not yet been made public, after all, it is the discovery of the navy, and the ownership belongs to the navy, and how to deal with it depends on the will of the navy. Editing this question was beyond the purpose of his visit, but he couldn't help but be curious.
Meng Songhai said: "It's good that you know these things, don't write them in the file." Boss Xiao said that that place is the new home of the Ocean Fleet, and the Ocean Fleet will have to move its headquarters there in the future. ”
Ignoring the surprised editor, Meng Songhai said bitterly: "There is indeed a good harbor on the big island, enough to park hundreds of warships, but what is the ocean fleet moving there for?" Fishing? ”
Editor's face turned sympathetic, that's right, across the ocean is Dongzhou, except for the British and Chinese, there are only Spaniards, Nanzhou is Nanzhou, and to the north is the Luobai Strait leading to the ice ocean. Throw the ocean fleet into the center of the ocean, what enemy can be dealt with? Spaniard? The British navy was beaten to death in Tianzhu, and the Spaniards still dared to stretch out their hands to the ocean?
Meng Songhai comforted himself: "Actually, it's really good to care for the elderly there......"
In the twentieth year of the Holy Path, in 1738, the Ocean Fleet exploration team discovered Hawaii. For their emperor, this was just an expected discovery, and Xiao Sheng's explanation to Meng Songhai. It was an order that the emperor had conveyed to Xiao Sheng earlier. Nanyang is the bathtub in the Yinghua bathroom, the Indian Ocean is the drainage ditch outside the house, and the ocean is the swimming pool in the house.
By this time, Yinghua had enclosed the west coast of North America as his homestead, although the fence was not yet firmly entrenched. But this pool has to be occupied in advance. When Meng Songhai told the editor about the scenery of Hawaii, he also had a top-secret military order issued by the commander-in-chief in his stomach to rule Hawaii as soon as possible and build it as a military base, and any means could be taken for this......
Thinking of the guns and cannons, and the Hawaiian Islands stained with the blood of those natives, Meng Songhai felt no sense of accomplishment. At the same time, Fan Jin and Xiao Sheng, who secretly gave orders, became more and more inhumane.
"What about the natives? We can't kill like Nanyang anymore, our Yinghua is a country of heaven and man after all, and we have to be benevolent and righteous in everything. ”
Meng Songhai was changing his mind, but the editor took the initiative to mention the topic of ruling Hawaii, and his words were completely consistent with this guy's scholarly temperament.
Meng Songhai asked dispensably: "In your opinion, what should I do?" Let's just talk and talk as much as we can. ”
The editor opened his mouth and came: "Listen to the words of the general leader, the place is still divided into islands. They do not belong to each other. The consul general can raise a group of natives and let them dominate Hawaii, and we Yinghua live in the background. What profit can't be obtained? ”
Meng Songhai stayed for a moment, and his lazy face turned into a courteous smile: "What Mr. said is extremely true, uh, would you like to come to our ocean fleet, and I will treat you as a counselor?" ”
The editor suppressed his excitement and said reservedly: "Everywhere you go, you are serving the country, the consul general is too polite, and the Zhonglang general ...... How many products are it? ”
Just like the review of the National History Museum that went to the Western Fleet for an interview was dug up to the West by Hu Hanshan, and the bachelor who went to the Western Metropolitan Protectorate for an interview was arrested by Jia Hao as a counselor, this year. The National History Museum is also bleeding......
However, the review of the National History Museum sent to the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate did not stay, not that Wu Ya did not dig him, just like the Western Fleet and even the Western Metropolitan Protectorate, he spread out a lot of things, and there is a shortage of talents here, and a piece of straw paper has its use. Scholars who can only dance and write are also valuable. However, no one in the research group brought by the review remained, and all of them were frightened.
…,
In November, the review team arrived at Shazhou, at which time the vanguard of the Western Expeditionary Army had passed through Anxi Prefecture and fought a battle with the Dzungars at Xingxing Gorge. The former military governor of the Northern Route Army of the Western Army was Pan Shiyu, who led two divisions of men and horses and a division of cavalry led by Chen Songyue of the dragoon army to open the way, but the Dzungars were not strong enough and were defeated, leaving thousands of corpses to retreat to Hami.
But Pan Shiyu did not continue to advance westward, not only the rear men and horses and supplies could not keep up, but the entire rear of the army to the west had problems.
There was chaos in Ningxia, and the Ma family in Ningxia was divided, and a number of stubborn clans who were unwilling to defect to Yinghua gathered troops to resist. The original reason is said to be related to the Heavenly Temple, these hardliners resolutely did not agree to the Heavenly Temple's entry into Ningxia, and the moderate imam persuaded them to execute them as traitors. In the chaos in Ningxia, some die-hard parishioners in Shaanxi also began to gather and plot against the chaos.
When the research group arrived at Shazhou, it was just in time for Wuya to deploy a counter-action.
"This is not killing chickens and monkeys, it is killing chickens and monkeys together!"
Wu Ya's order can be summed up in this meaning, his devil kills people to kill people, and killing people can solve the problem, so kill them cleanly......
Anyone who is not allowed to settle in the Heavenly Temple will be killed!
Anyone who obstructs the preaching, rooting, and doing good deeds in the Heavenly Temple, kill!
Anyone who hurts the people in the Heavenly Temple will be killed!
There are many articles and clauses, and the subordinates simplify it into a standard, no matter what religion the foreign people believe, as long as they exclude the Heavenly Temple, it is a capital crime. And the Han people, if they don't enter the Heavenly Temple, it is a capital crime. Even if it is not disposed of now, it is still on the blacklist.
The scholars of the National History Museum were in the Dadu Protectorate, and what they heard was the word "kill", how many they killed today, how many more they will kill tomorrow, and they were all terrified.
The team leader's review was finally unbearable, and he had the courage to ask to see Wu Ya, and raised doubts about this matter, saying that other clansmen were still secondary, but the Han people were all blood compatriots, how could they raise swords and slaughter wantonly?
Wu Ya asked rhetorically: "Han people? They don't worship heaven and earth, they don't worship their ancestors, others want to worship, they still have to use swords, they are really Han people? ”
"Whatever they do," the reviewer argued, "we must first ask ourselves questions and act with a clear conscience." ”
Wu Ya raised his head and said: "I am worthy of it, I am the knife in the hands of His Majesty, and I was born to kill." Your Majesty has placed my knife here. Do you want me to be just right? ”
The review sighed: "Aren't most of the protectors afraid of damaging the peace of heaven and being punished by heaven?" ”
Wu Ya said in a low voice: "As long as I can kill a quiet world, I will block any heavenly curse!" ”
See what else you want to say in the review. Wu Ya said in a deep voice: "I, Wu Devil, killed from the South Seas to the Western Regions, destroyed the country, and destroyed the clan, so I will have less work to destroy the sect." These people dare to jump out, just right! ”
He looked at the west, and his tone was extremely firm: "I am a mortal, and I will return to the Western Regions later." I am afraid that the achievements of this life have also reached the top. Throughout the ages, which general can still match me? At that time, if you are punished by God, this life will be worth it! ”
Under the pressure of this vast and fierce, almost majestic mountain, the review was speechless, and he didn't notice that there was still a moisturizing intention in the corners of the devil's eyes, and the devil was recalling the time when he looked up at the starry sky with his fourth brother. Since then, he feels that he no longer belongs to himself, but to the great cause pioneered by his fourth brother. Damned...... He wants to take the place of the fourth brother and suffer all the curses of heaven.
The rebellion in Ningxia and Shaanxi slowed down the pace of the westward expedition, but it was not a major trouble. There are demons like Wu Ya who eat people and don't spit out bones, and their subordinates are all members of the Heavenly Punishment Society and the Holy Martial Arts Society who believe in heaven and worship ancestors, and they don't have too many scruples about being ruthless, and the Mongolian cavalry from Qinghai and Mobei and Monan are also willing to wave butcher knives at the infidels. The members of the National History Museum who went to the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate to record the Western Expedition turned to record the suppression of the Ningxia Rebellion, and too many unspeakable historical materials were helplessly erased.
…,
In the twentieth year of the Holy Dao, Ningxia returned to chaos. Later generations said that the Western Expedition army killed at least 200,000 people, but the scholars of the National History Museum erased more than that. Wu Ya proudly declared in his memoirs that in this life, he originally vowed to kill millions of people, but after the Ningxia rebellion, he changed his oath. To kill five million......
Although the pace of the Western Expedition was slowed down by the Ningxia Rebellion, the speed of the gathering of the army was accelerated. Yinghua claimed to have sent 500,000 troops in the crusade against Dzungaria, but this figure is of course false. The actual strength of the army will not exceed 200,000, and it will also include the servant army.
The strategy of the western expedition is to divide the north and south routes, divide the troops and advance step by step, and at the same time gather the two elites of the Yulin Army and the Dragoon Army to be used as the main force for the decisive battle. The Dzungars wanted to defend and attack, and no matter which way they attacked, the troops of the army could hold out until the main force arrived.
Under this strategy, the status of the servant army has risen. If they defend all roads and save troops for Yinghua, they must really play a role in blocking the Dzungars, which requires them to have a minimum combat strength.
"Could it be that our own army is weaker than the Manchu Tartars?"
In December, the army of the Western Expedition finally advanced westward again, Pan Shiyu and Chen Song Yuejin forced to Hami, and the supply line transit town of Tianshengdunli, the commander of the Japanese division, Shimazu Yoshinori, was complaining. The four transit bases contained the entire division of 8,000 people, and two or three hundred artillery pieces were stuffed, which was the Celestial Empire's extreme distrust of the combat power of the division.
When the Dzungar cavalry appeared in the telescope of the guard post, densely covering the horizon, Shimazu Yoshinori not only did not fear, but trembled with extreme joy.
"Fight for the Celestial Empire!"
Shimazu Yoshinori drew his sword and shouted, kicking off the prelude to the Great War in the Western Regions.
In Anxi Prefecture, Fang Tangheng, the governor of the Northern Route Army of the Western Army, received the battle report of the fierce battle of Tianshengdun, and politely solicited the opinion of Takahashi Yoshilian, the counselor of the Dadu Protectorate: "Can your army hold on?" Does the Chinese army need to speed up? ”
Takahashi Yoshiren snapped, stepped on and saluted: "Please take the military aircraft first, and don't have to take special care of us." To be able to restore the Western Regions for the Celestial Empire, this is the supreme glory of the warriors of the [Ri] Benwuren! We have sworn that in this land, even if the last drop of blood is shed, we will never back down half a step! ”
Fang Tangheng twitched the corner of his eye, patted Takahashi Yoshiruto's shoulder, and said loudly: "Okay! Good! The Celestial Empire will never forget your loyalty! ”
Xingxing Gorge, a large group of people and horses are marching in, Yue Chaolong, the governor of the Central Army of the Northern Route Army, and Yue Zhongqi, the former military governor of the Southern Route Army, are standing in the canyon, watching the sons and daughters in red step into the Western Regions, a land of heaven and earth, their hearts are agitated, and they are speechless for a while.
Yue Zhongqi's eyes were hot and said: "Recovering the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties and fighting for the country's benefits, this is the loyalty that a warrior should have!" ”
Yue Chaolong said: "Old nephew, it's worth it for us to throw both old bones on this battlefield." ”
Yue Zhongqi said proudly: "I still want to see the ancient battlefield of Talas, you won't be there then." ”
The uncle and nephew laughed loudly, and the laughter crossed the Star Gorge and echoed in the vast ancient land of the Western Regions. (To be continued)
