63 return to the south

I'm in the northernmost part of Liaodong.

The good thing about this is that we won't receive any more bad news from Chang'an.

In the few days when I went to Beijing, the news of Chang'an kept coming.

Sichuan and Chang'an began with artillery bombardment, then sporadic fighting, and the scale grew larger.

The penultimate news I heard was that the Sichuan Army had swarmed out of the Great Wall of Sichuan, and Hanzhong had fallen.

The penultimate news I heard was that the Sichuan Army had been wiped out outside Chang'an, and it was said that it had been infected with voodoo. Obviously, Liu Xingchao finally used the superweapon I gave him.

However, it was still useless, and the next news I received must be that Sichuan will take revenge on Chang'an with all its might.

I think that the real reason for my escape from Shangjing was to be afraid of Sichuan, not to hate the Qing subjects as I said.

Hey, who knows!

I don't even know what I'm thinking!

Today, another news came, and this is naturally not news from Chang'an, because the people of Liaodong don't care about Chang'an at all.

This time the news came from Shangjing: the Qing Dynasty is dead.

The Qing Dynasty is dead.

You read that right: the Qing Dynasty is dead.

Changed to Datang.

The emperor became Li Hongsi, and also set up two queens: the eldest queen Pu Qinghong, and the little queen Dongfang Mingyue.

If a few years ago, people would have been surprised when they heard about the two queens, but Da Ming had already been the two queens, so there was nothing surprising. Perhaps, the double queen will become the standard configuration in the future. In the future, idlers will point to the emperor who has only one queen and say, "This emperor is so ashamed, there is only one queen, do you have any physical disability?" ”

When I received this news, I felt that the world was so unreal, as if it was fake, and it was like playing at home.

This year, the emperors can play basketball together!

I rushed to Shangjing again and went straight to the Imperial Palace.

Those people saw my armored car and hurried to report.

I was greeted by the queen Dongfang Mingyue.

Me: "Hell yes!" Why did you become a queen! ”

Dongfang Mingyue: "Because my husband loves me." ”

Me: "Dream! That's because - my army. ”

Dongfang Mingyue was furious: "Get out!" ”

Emperor Li Hongsi of the Tang Dynasty hosted a banquet for me in the main hall.

It was a private banquet, and there was no one else but us—if anyone else had to do it, it was the two eunuchs beside him, one named Zheng Anmin and the other called An Ningri. Zheng Anmin has always been his personal eunuch and has been with him since he was a few years old. An Ningri is the personal eunuch of the former Qing Emperor An Zedong, because he is well-behaved, he also became Li Hongsi's close attendant eunuch - please remember their names, because they still have more to do.

Li Hongsi patted me on the shoulder and said, "Hey, brother, to be honest with you, I really don't want to be an emperor." My eldest wife told me all day and night that she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself. Park Qingyi is a coward, sick all day long, walking crookedly, and can't even go to court. The rest of the Park family are all dead, hey, except for her brother, there is no one left. Now that you're gone, those Qing subjects are starting to be unconvinced again. I jokingly said to Park Qinghong, it's better for you to be the empress, but she didn't dare, she only dared me to be. Ay! If Pu Qingyi is not the emperor, and those traitors and scholars of the Qing Dynasty are any one of them, I will still die-then I might as well make do with being an emperor, and be as many days as I want. The emperor is the most dangerous profession in the world, and few die well. ”

I guessed correctly, Park Qinghong wanted to be the queen herself, not the eldest princess, so she pushed her husband onto the dragon chair, and even did not hesitate to change the dynasty and destroy her own Qing Dynasty.

Of course, Daqing is not hers anyway, what do you care about so much.

Besides, Datang is much better than Daqing. The first Qing Dynasty was said to have a bad reputation, so the next few hundred Qing dynasties also had a bad reputation.

The Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty are actually all the same, except for the different names, there is no essential difference.

I would even go so far as to say that countless dynasties before and after it were the same.

You think your dynasty is great and special, that's because everyone thinks that your dynasty is great and special, and they are all cockroaches and moths.

I even went to the Tang Dynasty to have a look.

They didn't even change the dynasty well, and the "Qing Empire" actually directly made a big patch of "Qing" and changed it to "Tang".

I looked at the ministers of the Tang Empire, damn, it was the same as the three emperors of the short-lived Qing Empire, the same face, the same stupidity, and the same treacherous.

Those ministers are the same people as the first, second, and third emperors of the Qing Dynasty, and I even dare to say that if you kill them all and replace them with a new group of people, they are still the same people.

Who said that the world belongs to the emperor?

The world is traitorous!

I was drinking with the Tang Emperor when the royal herald hurriedly ran over and said, "Your Majesty, news from Chang'an!" Liu Xingchao is finished! ”

What's the situation? The tide of war has been reversed again?

Li Hongsi looked at him: "Say it quickly, what's wrong?" ”

The royal herald said, "Chang'an is finished!" The Forbidden Army is finished! The Sichuan Air Force bombed Chang'an, and Chang'an was in flames. According to the spies, except for the palace, which could not be blown up, the entire Chang'an had been razed to the ground. ”

Li Hongsi: "A thousand square kilometers of Chang'an were blown into ruins? ”

The royal herald said, "According to the spies, so. ”

Zheng Anmin, who was next to him, said: "Your Majesty, this hypocrite who usurped power is going to be finished!" What a providence! ”

Li Hongsi glanced at him and said slowly: "Not necessarily, the underground of Chang'an is bigger than the above." ”

Me: "Chang'an is full of underground fortifications, the garrison of the forbidden army is 50 meters underground, and the equipment is 100 meters underground. What's the use of the Air Force, Sichuan doesn't send ground troops to occupy it, Gyeonggi is still a big man! ”

Li Hongsi smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect Daming to be able to ease up." However, I have directly become a traitor from the prince! ”

I said, "What's going on?" Even if Da Ming can survive, they won't do anything to you. If you want to be emperor, keep becoming; If he is obedient, he will at least be the governor and overseer of Liaodong. Historically, Chang'an has never broken through Liaodong. ”

I'm telling the truth, Chang'an has broken through Shangjing several times, but never once has occupied all of Liaodong, because Liaodong is too big and too cold. The winter in Liaodong can't freeze the people of Liaodong, but outsiders can't stand it. As long as Liaodong gave up going to Beijing and used the vast northern hinterland to fight Chang'an, Liaodong would never fail.

I drove back to Zhenbei County and told my subordinates about it.

They were all silent.

At this point, everyone understands in their hearts that it is obvious that Sichuan will win, and they have been very strong since ancient times. Probably my subordinates don't want Chang'an to win either, otherwise they won't come out in vain?

But I'm still not willing in my heart!

An Guangxu's words came to my mind again that day, and I felt that he made a lot of sense.

I hate it when people care about me, whether it's the imperial court or Sichuan; I also hate it when people are in charge of others, no matter who he is and what reason he has.

If Sichuan defeats Chang'an, won't the world go on like this forever?

What else is the meaning of this world?

I am reminded of the Holy Land, a cruel, static world.

Why did the saint flee from the Holy Land?

Why did Yang Qiurui's brother and sister flee Sichuan?

Da Ming is so bad, aren't they coming over?

……

An Guangxu's words lingered in my ears:

-

-

"You bastard!

What's the funny about you!

Is your technology, your army yours?

What's so great about you?

You're just another kind of rubbish that relies on someone else!

Why are you right?

Are we wrong?

You decide us, who decides you?

No one can interfere in other people's lives and decide their fate!

You're just a mortal!

Mortal!

A person who is a tyrant to God will have the end of tyranny!

Mark my words, you are the scariest thing in the world.

Your interference with us is the root cause of everything! ”

……

I had already made up my mind at this point.

I said to them, "I'm going to Chang'an." ”

Everyone froze.

Zhang Kangning: "It's so easy to escape, what are we going back for?" ”

Me: "It's not you, it's me going back." ”

Wang Yuquan: "What are you doing when you go back alone?" ”

Me: "Go and help Liu Xingchao fight Sichuan." In fact, it's not to help him, it's that I want to fight Sichuan. I hate the way the Sichuan elders will point fingers. ”

Zhang Kangning: "You go alone?" ”

Me: "It doesn't matter to Sichuan that there are tens of thousands of forbidden troops, what Chang'an needs is me, not you." ”

Wang Yuquan: "Aren't you afraid of death?" ”

Me: "I'm not going to die. ”

At the same time, they asked, "Why?" ”

Me: "Because death can only exist in others, not in oneself." If a person lives, he will not die; When a man dies, he will not feel it; If you don't feel dead, death is a meaningless thing. I will surely triumph; If I die, I don't know if I won't triumph. ”

Zhang Kangning: "Sounds like a ...... of Death Worship"

Me: "The world regards life as the ultimate goal, and the Death Church regards death as the ultimate goal, I belong to people other than them, I have jumped out of the five elements, and I am not in life and death!" ”

Zhang Kangning: "Sichuan is so powerful, why do you want to provoke him?" ”

I looked out the window and said, "I climb the mountain, not because it's easy to climb, but because it's hard to climb." I kill God, not because I can kill God, but because God is God, because God cannot be killed, and that is the definition of God. ”

They looked at me.

Me: "I hate everyone who thinks they are gods. ”

They continued to look at me.

I said to them, "Okay, that's it." For me, I'm sure I'll see you again; For you, you may not be able to see me again. ”

I asked Wang Yuquan: "How much ammunition do you have?" ”

"Thousands of shells, enough bullets," he said. ”

These things seem like a lot, but after a day, it's over. If you want to replenish ammunition, at least build an arsenal like the original Royal Arsenal, and don't think about it for a few years. Even Liaodong alone may not be able to make it, and I don't even understand the most basic things.

I finally told them, "You can say who you are loyal to, but don't take it seriously, and don't use your strength." Once you run out of ammo, whoever you have helped is dead. Especially Park Qinghong, this woman is too powerful, too vicious, don't be deceived by her. ”

I left, drove away in an armored car.

Now I am walking on the road from Liaodong to Gyeonggi via Liaoxi and Xiliang.

There were more than a dozen barrels of gasoline in the armored car, and I didn't even bring much weapons and food.

I have to get to Chang'an as soon as possible.

As I drove along the steppe in an armored car, I remembered my trip to Chang'an six years ago.

At that time, I was worried and cautious, full of curiosity and confusion about the world, and full of confusion about the future; And now, I'm flying with excitement.

I don't run away anymore, I can fight with Sichuan, the eldest son of the gods, whether I win or lose, I have won myself.

Win or lose, I've won.

Whether I live or die, I will live forever.
