10-32. The Buddha is the Way

1o-32 The Buddha is the Way

In order to protect the sky city worth three million taels, Liu Ziguang has invested a lot of money, and as soon as the two air defense carriages stepped on the official road in front of Yongding Gate, a team of people and horses rushed out of the grass on both sides of the road, all of them were red-eyed, tall, covered with thatch, and holding sharp weapons in their hands.

The horses were out of control, the anti-aircraft gun carriage suddenly overturned, the copper cannon was thrown out of the carriage, the soldier who operated the cannon was sharp, and pulled out the waist knife with a roll, but no matter how fast the action was, it could not catch up with the degree of the firearm, and the group of people were quick and fast, and the gunner was solved with a few bangs, and even the escorted cavalry was not spared, and was killed by the bullets fired from the spotlight.

The whole process was only a minute, and the small army sent by Kangxi was completely annihilated, making the emperor gritted his teeth with anger and watched these murderers fly away.

The Qing soldiers on the city wall were shocked again, this is the heavenly soldier or the Yaksha demon, how did it come out of thin air? It seems that Heavenly Court is really on the side of the Han people this time.

In fact, this is just a small ambush by the China Merchants Foreign Legion, in order to prove their strength, these green flat hats have lurked under the Yongding Gate, monitoring day and night, originally to deal with the Manchu Qing Dynasty who sneaked out, but in case of an emergency, they will also take action categorically.

Seeing that the anti-aircraft carriage was annihilated, the machine gun that quietly stretched out under the sky city retracted, although this floating fortress is very fragile, but the ground firepower is very strong, if you want to break through its fire network, you have to have thousands of troops.

The Qing Emperor's contempt for the Heavenly Court caused the wrath of the Jade Emperor, and the Tai Bai Xing once again announced that the Heavenly Court would send 100,000 heavenly soldiers to help the Ming destroy the Qing Dynasty, and then smoke rose from below the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and it rained a local heavy rain, and then the Heavenly Court rose into the clouds and disappeared.

The city in the sky threw away a few tons of water in the ballast, and fled, leaving only the stunned Qing soldiers all over the city wall, in fact, there are people who understand, those veterans who have been fighting for many years know the means of the Ming army, and it is easy to make this kind of fake, but more people are completely deceived, once people are superstitious about some kind of affairs, eight horses can't pull back, seeing that people are panicking, Kangxi is also completely helpless, only to prove that this is the Ming army pretending to be a ghost can restore morale, but this is not easy.

Heaven descended to the mortal world, the Jade Emperor said to help the Ming to extinguish the Qing Dynasty, the Aixin Jueluo family is the descendant of the wild boar essence, the Daming Town Wuhou is the reincarnation of Erlang Zhenjun, these rumors spread like wildfire all over the Sijiu City of Beijing, the more outrageous the rumors spread faster, not only the Han people talked about it, even the flag people began to recite it, the soldiers who came down the city wall told everyone about seeing the Jade Emperor and Guanyin Bodhisattva with their own eyes, and said that they had noses and eyes, if one or two people said that they could still cover it up and say that it was a lie, to confuse the public, But tens of thousands of defenders at the three gates of the outer city have seen it, and they can't hold it down even if they are hard pressed.

The morale of Beijing City, which had been accumulated with great difficulty, was destroyed in an instant, and the people were panicked and frightened, who dared to disrespect the ghosts and gods, although Kangxi sent propagandists everywhere to say that the heavenly court was fake, and it was a demon law made by the Ming people, but this explanation was particularly pale in the face of "facts", countless Han officials began to consider abandoning the dark and turning to the light, and countless Manchus began to plan to abandon the city and flee for their lives, and returned to their hometown outside the Guanwai by detouring through the Mongolian steppe. Of course, the gods of the Han people have to help the Han people.

Originally, there was still a little stubborn determination, but it was crushed by the gods who fell from the sky, and all the palaces in the capital began to clean up and enter the palace to listen to the words of the ancestors, after all, the empress dowager and the emperor had mastered the military power, and they annoyed their ancestors and grandchildren by running away without authorization, even if it was the iron hat king, they had to consider the threat of moving their heads.

The Han people were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night, secretly preparing kitchen knives, rolling pins, dung forks and other weapons, preparing to help the war when the heavenly soldiers entered the city, and the Han people were strictly forbidden to gather in the capital, so everyone was secretly in contact, passing on exciting news to each other, and even the officers of the green battalion began to move their minds and began to look for characters who could talk to the Ming army, hoping to defect and make meritorious contributions.

Forbidden City, Cining Palace, Kangxi sat in front of the Empress Dowager and frowned, the Ming army made this drama a headache for Kangxi, the original plan was all disrupted, the hearts of the people in the capital were floating, I am afraid that the Ming army will attack and will not be able to hold out for three days.

Da Yu'er looked calm, lowered her eyes and turned the Buddha beads in her hand, and only opened her eyes after reciting a volume of Diamond Sutra and said: "Sun'er, the Han people can play ghost tricks, why can't we, have you forgotten what it means to treat others in the way of others?" ”

A sentence woke up the dreamer, Kangxi stood up excitedly and said, "Grandson understands." ”

The Manchus do not believe in the Jade Emperor or Taishang Laojun, they have their own religion --- shamanism, although many people have converted to Buddhism over the years, but still support a group of old shamans, and now is the time for these people to waste their residual heat.

Kangxi immediately found a group of shamans, as well as lamas and monks or something, set up a platform near the Temple of Heaven to pretend to be a ghost, pretending to be possessed by the Bodhisattva of Astronomical Heaven, and descended the decree of the Buddha, saying that the Buddha of the West Heaven blessed the Qing Dynasty, Nurhachi was the reincarnation of the golden cicada that came to the world to save the people of the Central Plains in the sea of suffering, and if he came to help the Qing army defend the city, so that the people did not have to panic, at first there were some onlookers and applauded, but then there were no more people to watch the excitement, This kind of pediatric trick is simply too unconvincing compared to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall in mid-air.

On the one hand, he used the Buddha to suppress the Jade Emperor, and on the other hand, he summoned the capable people in the capital to urgently discuss how to deal with the air threat of the Ming army.

Kangxi summoned the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, the Qin Tianjian, and some warlocks recruited by the people in the Qianqing Palace to discuss countermeasures to break the enemy, among these people, there are not many people who have real skills, and there are many charlatans, including officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, all of them believe that the floating airship of the Ming army is using some kind of evil magic, as long as they break their demon law, they can make the airship fall to the ground, and the immortals have offered a lot of strategies, and the sorrow that Kangxi has been frowning has been relaxed, only Nan Huairen said that the airship may be in accordance with the principle of Kong Ming lantern, Made of some relatively light gas, it is inevitably impossible to equip heavy armor in order to float in the air, so it is more effective to use artillery and giant crossbows, but Nan Huairen's words are not visible at all in the noise of these Jianghu warlocks.

Emperor Kangxi finally adopted the opinions of all sides, all the tricks were used, after one night, the three city gate buildings of Zuo'anmen, You'anmen, and Yongdingmen in the outer city of Beijing were plastered with yellow table paper, and the paper was painted with tadpoles and earthworms, which was the masterpiece of several veterans, at this time they were opening an altar on the head of the city, holding a peachwood sword in their hands, wearing a Taoist robe and reciting words, and a platform was set up next to them, and several shamans wearing masks and wearing flowery green robes were dancing the gods, and then looked aside, It was a group of lamas wearing crooked monk's hats, wearing red robes, and exposing their muscular arms, all with their faces full of flesh, their hands folded and their mouths muttering, as if they were chanting sutras.

In addition, there is a large amount of black dog blood, with blood stained women riding horses and belts prepared in the big tube, ready to be used to break the demon law of the Ming army, anyway, I have thought of all the ways I can think of, not to mention, in this way, the morale on the verge of collapse has actually recovered some, and rumors began to circulate in the capital, saying that the Aixin Jueluo family is representing the West Heaven Rulai, and the Jade Emperor's agent in the mortal world--- Nanming Zhu family is competing for the right to rule the world. In short, Aixinjueluo's family is not a wild boar essence, it has a big background, and the background is no worse than the Jade Emperor.

A war gradually evolved into a human agent war between Taoists and Buddhists, and the imaginative people discussed whether the 800 Arhats of the Rulai system or the 100,000 heavenly soldiers of the Jade Emperor system were powerful after tea and dinner, as for why the four heavenly kings and Guanyin Bodhisattva were on the side of the Jade Emperor, some people made up various reasonable explanations, anyway, people's almost collapsed nerves oppressed by the war got a kind of vent and relaxation, as if this imminent war was out of touch with themselves, It became a strife among the gods and goddesses in the sky.

The Qing army tried its best to defend the city, and the Ming army was also racking their brains to think of a strategy to break the city, Liu Ziguang had too few men and horses in his hands, and the red shirt army fought with firepower, and the field wave battle was dominant, and the city street battle would not work, even if an opening was opened and rushed in, in case the Qing army learned the sea of pictures, and the resistance of every street and every house, then this battle would be difficult to fight.

Shandong came to the news, Dongying's fierce fire oil refinery was occupied by Hong Chengchou, Xu Zengshou was ambushed again on the way to Qingzhou, suffered heavy losses, and had to retreat to Jinan, Shandong has fallen into the hands of the Qing army, I am afraid that Hong Chengchou will raise troops south to threaten Nanjing, and the war in the west is not ideal, according to inaccurate information, the whole territory of Shaanxi has fallen to the enemy, and the Western Xia army has fallen to the city of Lintong.

Everywhere is tight, Liu Ziguang does not dare to delay any longer, he must take Beijing as soon as possible, the occupation of Beijing means that Goryeo and Manchu Qing have withdrawn from the war as part of the Three Kingdoms Anti-Ming Alliance, at least it can feel a lot easier, the Qing army's performances on the city wall He scoffed, but the "human shield" of several heaven and earth clubs tied to the head of Yongding Gate made him a little worried.

These people are the core figures of the Heaven and Earth Society, and they usually act together with Dai Wenpei, since they fall into the hands of the enemy, it is difficult for Dai Wenpei to preserve, although Liu Ziguang and Dai Wenpei do not communicate much, but after all, they promised other people's fathers to take care of her, which is equivalent to being engaged, and the fiancée of the dignified Wuhou has been taken captive, which Liu Ziguang cannot tolerate.
