Chapter 1 When will the will of heaven be revealed?
In 1583, Nurhachi was appointed as the commander of the left guard of Jianzhou to unify the Jurchen tribes.
In 1616, Nurhachi founded the state of Hetuara and was called Khan, and the country was called Jin.
In 1635, Huang Taiji abolished the old clan name "Zhushen" and named the clan "Manchuria".
In 1642, in the battle of Songjin in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Hong Chengchou was captured and Zu Dashou surrendered.
In 1643, Huang Taiji died of illness, and the ninth son Fulin succeeded to the throne for Shunzhi.
In 1644, Li Zicheng captured Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide in Jingshan.
In April 1645, the Qing army laid siege to the city of Yangzhou, led by Duoduo, the prince of Yu of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Shi Kefa, the secretary of the Southern Ming Army, led the Yangzhou army and people to resist the Qing army, after the failure of the defense battle, Shi Kefa refused to surrender and was killed, the Qing army slaughtered in Yangzhou for ten days, killing more than 800,000 people, known as "Yangzhou Ten Days"!
*****
"Defeat Yangzhou, ten days of soldiers! The knife does not enter the sheath, and the horse does not return the groove! ”
Under the city of Yangzhou, the military camp of tens of thousands of Manchurians stretched for dozens of miles. At this time, the Duoduo camp was still twenty miles away from Yangzhou City, and the striker had already arrived under Yangzhou City! When Duoduo's "Ten Days No Sealing Knife" order came, the banner army shouted loudly, everyone rubbed their hands like beasts, licked their lips bloodthirsty, and was arrogant! At this time, there were no reinforcements outside Yangzhou, and the officials did not see the soldiers, the soldiers did not see the people, the armor was thrown everywhere, and the people ran and cried. Before the Qing army began to attack the city, the city was already in chaos.
The Ming Dynasty has come to an end at this point, and it has rotted to death from the roots, and it has to drag countless people to accompany the funeral. Chongzhen just died, and King Fu succeeded to the throne. As soon as he ascended the throne, he indulged in wine, and he had the idea of enjoying a day at all, and bullshit and the like were not in his heart at all. Nanming, a court that is about to die. King Fu was drunk and dreamed of dying, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were still struggling, fighting for power and profit internally, and it was a mess externally. Generals like Gao Jie and others directly set up rape and plunder among Weiyang, killing the people, and they are even more ferocious than the Manchurians!
Shi Kefa even advocated "uniting with the Manchurians" -- that is, uniting the Manchurians. First of all, to exterminate the forces of Li Zicheng's rebel army -- does it look familiar? Later, the Manchus borrowed troops from the foreigners to exterminate the Boxers, just like that...... Hehe. When Shi Kefa's power struggle failed, he was assigned to supervise Jiangbei. Garrison Yangzhou. At that time, Yangzhou was obviously about to face the Manchurian soldiers, but he still arranged for Gao Jie to lead the army north to Henan, hoping to "assist" the Qing army to defeat Li Zicheng, and he was still dreaming of "recovering the Central Plains".
Then the Qing army took the opportunity to go south. Zuo Liangyu, who had a heavy army in the Southern Ming Dynasty, went to attack Nanjing. To clear his mother's side! In order to resist Zuo Liangyu, Ma Shiying immediately transferred the troops of the Jiang defense...... So there was no obstacle on the road ahead of the Manchurians, and they drove directly to the city of Yangzhou!
Later, Zuo Liangyu's soldiers were defeated and died, and his son immediately led his army to surrender to the Manchus...... This is almost a microcosm of Nanming at that time. Nanming and Li Zicheng fought, and Nanming himself was also fighting internally, and then no matter who was defeated, or saw that the situation was not good, he immediately surrendered to the Manchurians. That's how the Manchurian army is getting bigger and bigger. I have to say that Cixi's "rather give to friends." "No domestic slaves" I'm afraid it's really not her patent, and it's not the case after the imperial power decays!
In fact, the Manchu army at that time was not irresistible, because it was not like the later Opium War, China's science and technology as a whole lagged behind the Western world, and flesh and blood could not stop foreign guns and artillery.
At that time, He Tengjiao, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and other generals had beaten the Manchurians to the point of being full of farts and urine, and the situation once made the Manchus want to completely abandon the southwest. The helpless and corrupt Southern Ming court and all kinds of speculative warlords were tied to their feet like two big iron balls, and Wu Sangui, a lackey, was powerful enough, and finally dragged the entire Chinese nation into the abyss......

"Alas, Inspector Shi is afraid that he will not be able to return to the sky, seeing that Yangzhou is another military disaster and man-made disaster, I don't know how many lives to fill! Pathetic and pitiful! ”
The speaker's words were pathetic, but he was not a soldier who defended the city of Yangzhou, and he was not even a soldier who defended the land. This person's name is Bai Guyi, also known as chasing clouds, is a fairy who retreats from the world and cultivates immortals, and Qingcheng Zhangjiao dwarf Zhu Mei is called "Songshan Erlao". He has an extremely high rank in the cultivation world, even more than half a generation more than the Emei Palm Sect Qiankun Righteous Qi Miaoyi Zhenren.
At this moment, he stood at the highest point of Yangzhou City, on the corner tower of the Yandao Yamen, and sighed at the ancient and modern times. But he saw the ant people under his feet running and wailing, but he didn't have the slightest intention of saving them. "Destiny is like this, what can I do."
In the world of cultivators, I don't know how many powers have calculated that Yangzhou is about to suffer a catastrophe. But they either think that "the way of heaven is permanent, not for Yao, not for destruction.", which means that it is none of my business for human beings to kill and kill, and I am no longer human; Others believe that all this is predestined -- those Yangzhou people deserve to die, and the lives of people and animals should be killed -- everything in the world has its own predestination, so any effort is in vain.
There are even more people from the Demon Sect lurking in Yangzhou City, just waiting for the opportunity to collect the Yin Soul, devour the bones, launch a big blood sacrifice, and refine several powerful magic weapons! As for human life...... Isn't that material? People in the righteous path turn a blind eye, and they are not under the idea of "you refine the magic weapon, I will grab it and continue to use it in a different way".
As for why Bai Guyi appeared here, he came for Li Ning, the daughter of Li Ning, one of the "Qilu Three Yings", Li Yingqiong. Li Yingqiong is only ten years old now, and she is indeed one of the "Three Heroes and Two Clouds" appointed by the Emei faction and the Changmei Zhenren who has ascended to the heavenly realm, and is the key figure in the great prosperity of the Emei faction! Li Ning is now acting as a rebel army against the Manchus in this Yangzhou city, and Miao Yi Zhenren is deeply afraid of the chaos of the army, in case Li Yingqiong makes a mistake, I am afraid that the entire Emei faction will regret it! Therefore, please wear the clouds and white valley for personal protection.
At this time, Yangzhou City was surrounded by the Banner Corps, and several cannons were launched from the army in front of the city gate. Looking around from the castle tower, the four wild black pressed the human head, and the bright and swaying sword soldiers!
Seeing this scene, the leader standing on the tower of the city was dressed as a civil official, but wearing a pair of armor outside, and his body was shaky.
"Overseer!" "Hold on to the Overseer!" The people around him suddenly became a mess, supporting each other. The fan is playing the fan, and there are even those who press the person and hand the cold water, and they are very busy. Li Yingqiong's father, Li Ning, is strong in martial arts. Also among this wave of people, seeing this scene, shaking their heads and smiling bitterly, how to fight like this? At this moment, only a strange whistling sound was heard. The people present, but Bai Guyi, who was hidden on the side, was the first to raise his head.
I saw a blue light wrapping around a mass of things, falling straight down from the high sky—look at the direction of the fall, it was exactly the tower where the man stood!
Bai Gu Yi was affected by this sudden situation. Stunned. Because looking at the direction of the fall, it turned out to be a straight smash towards the "overseer". A sense of absurdity suddenly rose in his heart, could it be that this Yangzhou City was about to be slaughtered. Isn't that man alive to dusk at most?! Do you have to let that person die without delaying for a moment or three?! The way of heaven is really harsh! I don't know how many sins the person called the overseer owed in his previous life......
"Overseer!" In the screams of those people, Qingguang slammed right on top of where the Overseer had just stood! Although the superintendent was dragged by Li Ning, he barely escaped being smashed! But he couldn't escape the impact that followed. Fly out of the castle tower at once. Staggered and fell.
When everyone was shocked, they saw that after the blue light fell to the ground, it pushed the surrounding dust to disperse, revealing a five or six-year-old child! What's even more surprising is that as soon as the child appeared, he raised his middle finger and scolded the sky, "Thief, you step on the horse and pit me!" ”
Who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Yuan......
But his words did not fall. Then I heard the piercing sound of the beeping and whistling again!
Countless people blurted out in their hearts, "Coming back?!" Instead, it was the child who reacted the fastest. At the same time as his face changed greatly, he simply jumped down in the direction of the superintendent's fall! The overseer was barely helped up by a few people, and his life was reduced to only half of his life, and he was still muttering, "Let me slow, let me slow down...... As soon as I looked up, I saw another black shadow smashed down, and suddenly there was only one thought left in my heart, "My life is over!" ”
The second sound came faster, and after seeing what was falling, a group of people jumped down from the watchtower! It turned out that the whistling sound was even sharper than last time, and what was wrapped in the hot wind was a swarthy Tang-style long knife!
As soon as the group landed, they heard a loud sound like a landslide behind them, and the long knife was plunged straight into the watchtower, and then the entire watchtower collapsed.
By the time the dust settled, the watchtower was a pile of ruins! A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are disgraced, and the superintendent is even more smashed! Instead, it was the child, his eyes purring and his fearless look. Everyone hated it! One person gritted his teeth and shouted, "That's a demon from heaven!" We should kill this fang and avenge the overseer! ”
"Yes, avenge the Overseer!" One shouted, the crowd echoed, the sound of revenge rang out, and countless swords slashed at the child's head!
"Hey, hey! Revenge, he's not dead yet......" The child argued loudly, as if ignoring the sword. Many people turned around and closed their eyes, unable to bear to see the scene where his body was dismembered. said that it was fast at this time, but I saw a pair of small hands stretched out from behind him to hold him, and then rolled around, just blending into the crowd.
"Come with me," Lu Yuan heard someone say, he didn't have much control over this powerless body, and he was actually dragged by the man and stumbled into the alley on the side. After running a few steps, he saw clearly that it was actually a child his age who was dragging him to run. Looking at the headband and long hair from behind, it's still a girl!
The two of them drilled dog holes, walked through alleys, twisted and twisted and changed directions several times, and finally left the noisy voices behind. It wasn't until in an uninhabited alley that the girl let go of her hand, pushed him to sit by the wall, and then sat down herself, gasping for breath desperately.
When the girl saw that Lu Yuan was still stupid at the moment, looking unconcerned, she suddenly became angry, and said hatefully, "Do you know who the person you smashed just now?" ”
"Who?" Lu Yuan turned his head helplessly.
"Inspector Shi Kefa!" The girl said loudly.
"And~" Lu Yuan scoffed at the person she said. Except for the final martyrdom, Shi Kefa has not done a few right things in most of his life, so what is there to make a fuss about. But...... He looked at the two small red moles on the girl's eyebrows, and suddenly had a feeling that something was wrong.
"Well, can you ask the girl your name?" He asked, a little apprehensively.
"Me?" The same gray-faced, tomboy-like girl just pouted and casually said her maiden name, "My name is Li Yingqiong." ”
