Mu Wuhou saw Mrs. Diexiang rushing in the direction of Jiang Long, and the corners of his mouth provoked a cruel smile, Ben Hou will fulfill the two of you and be a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks! The horsewhip in his right hand was raised high, and the ten musketeers on the side of the court immediately aimed their weapons at Lady Diexiang and Jiang Long.

Seeing Mu Wuhou's movements, Jiang Long was still sitting firmly on the back of the snow field.

Although Mrs. Diexiang had an argument with Muwuhou, saying that if Jiang Long really ran to the front of the battle desperately for the sake of her children's private affairs, she would look down on Jiang Long, but at this moment she was just in tears, she was blushing, and the first half of her life was bumpy. Until today, I don't know that there is a man who can die for himself!

While running, she remembered the story Jiang Long had written for him.

Could it be that he and Jiang Long will be as bleak as the ending of the story?

There are butterflies, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai - on the way to send each other for eighteen miles, Yingtai constantly borrowed things to soothe and hint at love. Shan Bo is loyal and simple, and he doesn't understand why. Yingtai was helpless, and lied that the nine sisters in the family were similar to their own appearance, and they were willing to be a matchmaker for Shanbo, but Liang Shanbo's family was poor and could not come as scheduled. A happy marriage has become a shadow. The two met on the balcony, tearfully looked at each other, and said goodbye sadly. When parting, I made a vow: I can't live together, and I must die together! Later, Liang Shanbo was ordered by the imperial court to be Yinxian (now Yinzhou District). However, Shanbo became depressed and fell ill and died soon after. The widow was buried in Kowloon Market. Yingtai heard the bad news of Shanbo and vowed to die. When Yingtai was forced to get married, he took a detour to pay respects in front of the tomb of Liang Shanbo, under the mourning induction of Zhu Yingtai, the wind and rain, thunder and lightning made a great work, the grave burst, Yingtai jumped into the tomb, the tomb was reunited, the wind stopped raining, the rainbow hung high, Liang Zhu turned into a butterfly, and danced in the world.

There are Ying Long and Nulu - time flies, Ying Long's wings gradually dyed black, and ** also began to turn into fine gray. At last, as if he heard the song of the maiden, he was overjoyed, dragged his dying body step by step into the sea, and did not look back. In the sky, a red blue bird with golden light was hovering and screaming, as if telling the final end of the story.

The sea gradually washed away the silt on a white stone, and the words of pain, hope, despair were engraved on it: one year, two years, three years; Ten years, one hundred years, one thousand years. Even if I use eternal time to wait, I hope to see you again...... Tears blurred her vision, but Lady Dieka still struggled to see Jiang Long's face clearly.

Bang bang bang!

As Muwuhou whipped down, a burst of gunfire rang out.

Lady Diexiang instinctively threw herself forward, wanting to get closer to Jiang Long before she died, but the expected pain did not come from her body, which made her surprised. When he looked back, he saw that the ten muskets had fallen in a pool of blood.

Mu Wuhou was stunned, what's going on?

Jiang Long had already galloped through the snowfield, rushed to the front of Mrs. Diexiang, pulled out his horse and returned.

"Where to go?"

Mu Wuhou reacted and immediately rode his horse to chase after him, but although his mount was not bad, it was far inferior to the snow field. Even if the snow field was carrying two people, he couldn't catch up, and couldn't help but be furious, "Jiang Long, there is a kind of you who stop and fight Ben Hou alone and fight to the death!" ”

"What right do you have to ask me to stop and fight you to the death?" Jiang Long hugged Mrs. Diexiang tightly and sneered in his mouth, "When you have a hostage in your hand, why don't you go alone with me?" ”

Mu Wuhou was even more angry, and repeatedly slapped his mount to catch up.

The court sergeants and generals behind him didn't know whether to wave their troops to cover up the killing at this moment, and stood there stunned for a while. This is also the loss of his cool by Mu Wuhou, he has always been arbitrary and arbitrary, and he does not allow his subordinates to show off their skills and make decisions without permission, so that his subordinates have no ideas and ideas.

And those who have ideas have already died in the hands of Mu Wuhou.

Just last night, in front of Mrs. Diexiang, Mu Wuhou killed a disobedient general with a musket. And told Mrs. Diexiang that tomorrow she would use a musket to take the lives of Mrs. Diexiang and Jiang Long, and it was because she saw the power of the musket with her own eyes that Mrs. Diexiang shouted not to let Jiang Long come forward.

A moment later, Jiang Long returned and put Lady Diexiang down.

Picking up a musket casually was aimed at Mu Wuhou, who had lost his mind.

Seeing this, Mu Wuhou was shocked, and a cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead, and he hurriedly turned his horse and ran back.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and Mu Wuhou fell off his horse.

Throwing the musket back, Jiang Long carried the dragon spear in his hand and rode his horse to the front of Mu Wuhou.

Mu Wuhou was shot in the back, and his face was distorted in pain, but because of the thick armor, it was not fatal, and he still scolded angrily: "Traitor, you must not die well!" ”

"From today onwards, she can be relieved." Jiang Long looked at Mu Wuhou Dao coldly.

"That stinky bitch......"

Mu Wuhou didn't finish scolding, and the dragon breaking spear had already penetrated his left chest.

Even if there is a heart guard on the left chest, it is easily pierced by the sharp tip of the Dragon Breaking Spear.

Before the two armies fought, the main general was killed first, and several generals in the imperial army hurriedly gathered their men and horses and wanted to retreat, but the sergeants on Jiang Long's side suddenly charged. As a result, the imperial army and horses were defeated, and there were not many casualties, but more than 5,000 people were captured.

When Jianglong's Route Army won a great victory, the other Fourth Route Army was also defeated one after another.

Jiang Long did not lead the crowd back to Lingtong County, but led the army and horses into the county government of Pingyi County, and the officials in the county government did not dare to resist at all. Then, within a few days, he took the entire Wangsha County into his pocket and met with his father who led another army of horses in Wangsha City.

Jingxian was holding a musket, his eyes full of curiosity.

The barrel of this musket is much longer and more delicate, and I heard my son say that this musket is called a sniper rifle.

It turned out that Jiang Long secretly left five exotic blacksmiths and asked them to transform the muskets developed by the black guards according to their own orders, because of the small number of people and the complexity of the process, so they only made twenty sniper rifles and then selected twenty people from thousands of people to train them to become snipers.

In front of the battle, Jiang Long asked the snipers to aim at the opponent's ten musketeers and shoot them just as they were about to swing their whips.

"So you've been prepared." Jing Xian smiled.

Jiang Long waved his hand, "I wanted to wait until the right time to take out the sniper rifle to have a miraculous effect." ”

"It's worth it to save your confidante."

"Hmm."

With the defeat of the imperial army, the Jing family began to expand their territory, and the Jing family had a great reputation in the northern Xinjiang, and encountered little resistance. It only took two months to win Xianzhou, Bingzhou, and most of the territory of Zhizhou.

Zhizhou borders Yizhou, where the capital is located, and the old emperor and the prince are panicked. In a short period of time, with the addition of the original 200,000 forbidden troops in the capital, a full 500,000 troops were gathered in Yizhou.

The redeployment of local troops made the imperial court's control over other prefectures and counties even more fragile.

One local magistrate after another became ambitious.

"After we capture Zhizhou, there are two ways to go, one is to directly attack Yizhou and occupy the capital in one fell swoop! The other was to attack Xizhou, which bordered Zhizhou, where Zhao Zhe, the king of Pingjiang, was entrenched. Jing Chengxiong consulted with several brothers of the same generation.

"Fight the King of Pingjiang first!"

"Take the capital directly!"

More than a dozen people argued endlessly, just to have more say and prestige, so that they could compete for power in the future.

"Jiang Long, what do you think?" Jingxian sat at the table and asked in a low voice.

But he didn't want Jiang Long to stand up directly, and said loudly: "Naturally, it is directly aimed at the capital!" In the past few years, there has been a drought in the north, and there is a shortage of soldiers and chaos in all parts of the country.

There is a way to prosper, the people are suffering, and the people are suffering!

The most bitter is always the people!

What the people want most now is someone to stand up and stabilize the political situation and maintain peace in the world. And now the imperial court has no control over the major states. As long as we can destroy the withering and decaying, directly conquer the capital, and establish our prestige, then the local officials will have no choice but to submit to the muskets and bombs in our hands.

Otherwise, when the army is killed, they will not be able to resist it at all.

And if we go to attack Xizhou, and then go to Yunzhou, Jeju, Tongzhou, Pingzhou, and put Yizhou last, then the war will spread to the entire Great Qi, and even if we win, we will only win a country full of holes.

And after sitting on the country, we still have to go to business, resume farming, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment.

It's easy to destroy, but it's not so easy to operate! ”

Jing Chengxiong's dozen brothers were originally very dissatisfied with Jiang Long's sudden voice, here they are the highest, and the juniors are not allowed to intervene without permission, even if Jing Xian did not ask him, he could only whisper.

But after listening to Jiang Long's words, these people were silent.

No more dissatisfaction.

Indeed, the most bitter people are always the people, and it is easy to destroy, and it is difficult to let the people live and work in peace and contentment if they want to run a business.

Taking over the country is just another beginning, not the end.

"I'm for it!" Jing Chengxiong was the first to speak.

The other dozen or so gray-haired old men looked at each other without saying a word.

Jiang Long added the last sentence, "Don't forget, the imperial court has also been studying muskets, and when they raise the muskets by two more grades, our weapons will no longer be superior." ”

"I'm for it."

"Directly point at the capital!"

The mountain gate pass, the guard pass was set up on the city gate tower, watching the distant army gradually approach.

"General Guan, let's surrender." Adjutant General Xu Yue whispered.

"When Ben will die in battle, you can naturally open the city gate and surrender." Guan Cheng reprimanded, "The Guan family has guarded this pass for generations for the Great Qi, even if they know that they will die, the general will not rebel against the court and obey the traitor!" ”

"Alas!" Xu Yue let out a long sigh.

It was nearly September, and the Jing family had already taken all the prefectures, and everywhere they went, the local officials fled or surrendered directly, if it weren't for the fact that officials had to be arranged to manage civil affairs, they wouldn't have been killed now to close the mountain.

"The enemy has muskets and bombs, how can we defend them?" Xu Yue was weak for a while.

Guan Cheng threw up his sleeves and strode away, "In short, Ben will never surrender!" ”

Half an hour later, Jingxian sent someone to shout for surrender, Guan Cheng did not comply, Xu Yue persuaded again, Guan Cheng still did not listen.

Three sergeants swaggered to the city gate with a large shield wrapped in iron sheets, dropped a bomb and quickly left.

Rumble!

The bomb exploded, directly blowing open the gate of the mountain gate.

"Rush!" Jing Xian gave an order.

Platoons of musketeers with spears pointed above the city gates, thuds, thumps, bullets fired, and the archers were so suppressed that they barely dared to show their heads, and those who dared to show their heads were all shot and killed.

"General Guan, how to fight this battle?" Xu Yue yelled.

Guan Cheng clenched his fists tightly and suddenly said, "When Ben will die in battle, you can surrender with the sergeant!" Without waiting for Xu Yue to react, he suddenly appeared from the city gate tower and pulled his bow hard, but before he could shoot out, a ball of blood had already exploded in his chest.

"General Guan!" Xu Yue burst into tears.

After a while, a white flag was raised on the city gate.

At this point, the Jingjia army entered the territory of Yizhou.

Shanmen Pass is a well-known dangerous pass, it can't stop the footsteps of the army of the Longtian Jing family, coupled with the power of bombs and muskets, after entering Yizhou, the imperial army immediately scattered and fled as soon as it came into contact with it. In the spring of the following year, the army came to the gate of the capital.

Today's Jing family army has 200,000 troops, stationed more than 20 miles.

In the capital, there are 150,000 forbidden troops.

"Father!" The prince's face was pale, and there was a string of blisters on his lips.

The old emperor was already thin and unadult-looking, and the dragon robe that originally fit was unusually wide, "Several of your brothers have run away, but I insist on letting you stay, can you be resentful?" ”

"How can the sons resent their father?" The prince knelt down.

"I am the emperor, you are the crown prince, the two of us are orthodox, the Jing family will never give up if they don't kill the two of us." The old emperor's voice explained slowly, "Your elder brothers are estimated to be unable to escape their lives, and the crown princess and the imperial grandson, I have ordered the golden guards to send them away in secret a few days ago. ”

"Thank you, Father." The crown prince didn't have time to go back to rest now, so he just knew.

"On the surface, I will leave another child as the imperial grandson, and the crown princess will also commit suicide."

Five days later, the gate of the capital broke.

In the main hall of the palace, the old emperor sat on the dragon chair, and at his feet lay a corpse with a purple face, which was the prince's.

Jing Chengxiong held a wine gourd in his hand and walked in with a swagger, "Do you want to take a sip?" ”

"You're still the same as before!" The old emperor's face suddenly appeared with an abnormal flush, and he scolded with a smile: "When I was a child, I even dared to beat me, I should have found a chance to end up with you back then, and I wouldn't be where I am today." ”

"You are from a noble background than me, your mind is smart, and your knowledge is higher than mine, when you were a companion, Mr. always praised you, saying that you are steady and humble in your study and hard work, and your talent is quick, but you come to scold me! At every turn, he hit my palm with a ring ruler.

But your children and grandchildren are nowhere near as good as mine. Jing Chengxiong shook his head and shook his head at the end, triumphant.

"I admit it!" The old emperor sighed lightly, and suddenly asked curiously: "Back then, I was able to cause an incident and successfully drive the crown prince to the throne, and the Jing family made a lot of efforts in secret, right?" ”

"That's a mad dog, it's a cruel wolf, let him be on the throne, no one can please him." Jing Chengxiong did not deny it.

"Without Jiang Long, you can't win against me!" The old emperor was suddenly excited, and his eyes looked directly at Jing Chengxiong, the companion of the year.

Jiang Long made bombs, hired exotic blacksmiths, and developed coal mines, which raised the quality of muskets by several notches, and without these Jing family could only remain lurking in the shadows.

Jing Chengxiong nodded.

"Can you leave me a bloodline?" The old emperor prayed with his eyes.

"Good!" Jing Chengxiong happily agreed. He knew that the child who stayed in the East Palace was definitely not the prince's own flesh and blood.

When the city gate was broken, the prince committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine in front of the old emperor.

"When the Great Qi was first established, Emperor Taizu once held the hand of the ancestor of the Jing family and said, you and I brothers, together we will build the country, and we should take turns to be the emperor. The ancestor of the Jing family did not obey, and then Emperor Taizu built a palace for the ancestor of the Jing family in Ningyuan County, but the ancestor of the Jing family still pushed it away, as long as there was a marquis.

After that, Emperor Taizu handed over the black-clothed guard to the ancestor of the Jing family, and asked the ancestor of the Jing family to help destroy ......" Before the words were finished, the old emperor suddenly leaned back and was out of breath.

Jing Chengxiong's face, which originally seemed to care about nothing, floated with a touch of complexity.

In the second year, Jiang Long took his son's little hand and walked side by side with Lin Ya on the path between the shades of the imperial garden.

Behind her, Delis and Lady Butterfly each held a child in their arms.

The organization behind Dai Lisi once laid a big net, but as the Great Qi changed hands, the heads of the officials who were influenced or controlled by them were cut off one by one, and there was no longer the slightest threat, of course, we had to take more precautions in the future.

Those people don't give up, they start all over again.

"Alas, Yu'er is peeing again." Delis suddenly exclaimed.

The palace maids who walked at the end immediately gathered around and changed the little princess's diaper.

The little princess pursed her mouth and cried.

The birds in the forest fluttered and flew away.

Jiang Long turned around with a smile, "Yu'er is crying quite loudly. ”

"That's healthy!" Lin Ya smiled and groaned.
