When Mei Yi got the news that the scholar had been robbed of his home and died, the news itself was already old. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In fact, when the old emperor who had been buried in heaven was alive, he was a clear-eyed person who could see that this old man might have a difficult good death. Just imagine, even if it is an alliance with the royal family, it is not a family after all. Even if it is a family, with such a high position, and the leadership and political power, if it is the old emperor, it is better to say, as soon as the new emperor comes to power, isn't the biggest threat to the university scholar? Some people say that the reason why a university scholar can be so high and powerful is because he has practiced the art of shaving and slapping horses, but Mei Yi knows that this is not the case. The family lineage of the scholar family is special, an important branch of the official Xiyi, and since before the establishment of the dynasty, the family of the scholar has been a prominent and powerful family. And now the scholar has been completely raided, on the surface it seems that he is a son of heaven and a courtier, but Mei Yi understands that this is the result of disagreements within Xiyi, when the scholar was alive, he once said that Xiyi is a whole, and any Xiyi should make sacrifices at the right time for the whole of Xiyi, and Xiyi will also constantly adjust the distribution of their own strength in the power structure of the current dynasty by retreating to advance at the appropriate time. In the final analysis, Xiyi's decisions and actions are aimed at maximizing Xiyi's rights and interests and retaining the most substantial power.

When the new emperor was in power, officials from all over the country had to go to the table to celebrate, but the scholars had long been lying in the cold prison waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty could not help but feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox. If you think about it carefully, this companion is like a tiger, and it is really a big truth. Mei Yi also has to be on the table, although the new son of heaven may not have time to see the congratulatory watch of every official, but this is the rule, Mei Yi's master said so, Mei Yi also asked him to make a congratulatory watch and prepare a congratulatory gift to be sent to the capital as soon as possible. It is indeed convenient to have a master by the side of the official, and the master from Shaoyang is a must in this dynasty, and it is definitely a good thing for the official. The only thing that worries Mei Yi is that with his master by his side, he will not expose Xiyi's secret. Fortunately, there is nothing abnormal about the master, and he is loyal and honest with a face behind him. Mei Yi thought about it, and by the way, he prepared some local specialties for the other two bachelors, and then repaired a letter and asked the master to bring it to the capital. News came from the capital that a large amount of gold and silver treasures had been copied from the homes of the scholars, almost catching up with the income of the state treasury for decades. Mei Yi smiled bitterly, this can't be all the guilt of the scholar. When the old emperor was alive, he was very fond of rewarding the treasures in the treasury casually, and secondly, this scholar was above 10,000 people, so who else in the Manchu Dynasty did not express it every three or five times? It is not uncommon for scholars to have a lot of treasure in their homes. The thing that Mei Yi felt the most about the whole incident was that the Xiyi Group, even such an important person as a university scholar could be discarded casually, could they still cultivate someone who could hold such authority?

When the master came back, the imperial court's envoy also arrived. Originally, Mei Yi was also a chincha, but as soon as this chincha arrived, he opened the holy decree that was rolled, and the first sentence was to remove Mei Yi's chincha. At that time, everyone present was stunned, but Qin Cha smiled and said Master Ke don't need to panic, I haven't finished announcing the holy will. In the second half of the holy decree, Mei Yi was promoted to the governor of the two prefectures, responsible for all military and political affairs. Mei Yi hurriedly took the holy decree in the hand of the Qin Cha, and after thanking him, he instructed the master to arrange for the reception of the Qin Cha and his entourage. He took Chincha's hand and sat down. The two greeted each other, and they inevitably complimented each other. Mei Yi was respectful, accepting the other party's compliments, and also saying all kinds of words of thanks. In fact, Mei Yi seemed to feel something in his heart, but he sighed a little too quickly. Qin Cha said that in view of the fact that the last time he was dealing with the affairs related to Fanren, Master Ke made a decisive decision at the moment, was neither arrogant nor humble, reasonable, advantageous and modest, which not only showed the mind of the kingdom, but also did not lose his majesty, so he will promote Mei Yi by several levels today, and ask him to supervise one side and enter the feudal official. Mei Yi was full of smiles, but he was actually absent-minded.

Mei Yi was promoted to governor, so naturally he couldn't be stationed in the local area, and after accepting the congratulations of his subordinate officials for a few days, he took his master to take office immediately. Needless to say, the master was not idle at all, and he didn't let Mei Yi be idle, he told Mei Yi from morning to night about the situation in Hezhou. Hezhou, located on the throat road from the border coast to the northern capital, has developed transportation, but it is full of troubles. The master carefully reminded Mei Yi that no matter how deep his background in the capital is, he needs to have some meritorious deeds. Mei Yi lightly lifted the reins of the horse with one hand and nodded slightly. The master chattered endlessly, all the way to Hezhou, and after handing over to the previous governor, Mei Yi moved into the governor's office of the two prefectures in the north of Hezhou. Hezhou is a place that does not have the stuffiness and bitterness of a small city in Haijiang, on the contrary, it is cool. Mei Yi changed into civilian clothes and was accompanied by his master to the old streets of Sanfang and Qixiang in Hezhou. As the capital, Hezhou is not only prosperous, but also the style of the old street is even more amazing. The shouting along the street was endless, which made Mei Yi stop and walk dizzy. It took a long time to walk out of half a street, and the master began to quietly signal Mei Yi to stop his steps. Mei Yi ignored it, the master whispered in Mei Yi's ear, and someone behind him followed closely. Mei Yi was stunned, the person who followed him was definitely not an entourage, so who was the person who was going to follow Mei Yi as soon as he arrived in Hezhou. The master asked Mei Yi to go first, and he came to figure out a way.

Mei Yi deliberately stayed at a stall selling Jianghu magic medicine for a while, making people feel as if he was very interested. After looking at the terrain, Mei Yi drilled into a nearby alley with an arrow step, and the master asked from behind him, how many masters, where did this come from and where are you going?

The arrangement of the Kuris, the Breesians did not know at all. After the occupation, there was practically nothing. There were empty houses everywhere, and the soldiers of Breez found buckets of water and prepared to carry water to drink, but after drinking them, they began to change. There was a whole squadron of soldiers who began to foam at the mouth, their limbs twitched, and they completely lost their combat effectiveness. After the military doctor's examination, he also said that he could not do anything. And the fresh water sent by the fleet simply could not guarantee the normal daily use of the army, and the field marshal began to realize that the army had switched the method of attack this time. On the one hand, he asked the army to implement the supply distribution of drinking water, and on the other hand, he began to gather the army and take the initiative to attack, and only by finding the army led by Kuris could he find a clean source of drinking water. The soldiers also knew the importance of this attack, and the assembly was quickly completed. It looks like the scene is a bit strange, the army is marching in, and as far as the eye can see, there is no enemy to appear. In the vast clearing outside the town, the shadow of the fence stood alone. The reconnaissance troops, riding on a small number of horses, approached and reconnoitred in the light of the Governor's report, but could not detect the shadow of the enemy. This made the field marshal, who was in a hurry to make decisions in the headquarters of the zero-hour transformation, become extremely anxious and at a loss.

The general direction of the enemy situation was determined, but not a single enemy was seen. The Field Marshal ordered the Bannermen and the Admiral to report that the Imperial warships should extend their firepower as far as possible into the land depths to give the Army maximum fire support. The warships were redeployed offshore, and the fire support situation improved, but it was still far from the estate of Curris. The field marshal calculated the number of artillery guns carried by the army and the firepower that could fire a salvo and decided to take a risk. The marshal seemed to understand that he was close to a gambler at this time, and he had a desperate momentum, but the honor of a soldier dictated that he had to do so. Having made up their minds, the army assembled and marched towards the manor. The marshal placed the most elite troops at the end, hoping that with the help of a small number of cavalry in the lead, he could cover the roundabout encirclement of the elite troops. The marshal put himself in the elite troops, and he would take the most combat-ready soldiers to wipe out the base camp of Curris from behind, instead of hiding in the bars and in the company of these wooden shelves with wine bottles.

The Continental Army, led by Curris, was also busy. Busier than the people in front of him, Curris's brain took the time to think not only about how to defeat the Brilles expeditionary force in specific military terms, but also about diplomatic ties with Frans. As for the issue of statehood after the victory over Bules, Curris is also actively thinking about it. Sometimes he wondered why he had such a rich and peculiar insight, and when he was impressed by everyone, he was also impressed by himself. What Curris can't mention is the special Inhumans behind him. Warman hadn't returned yet, and his ties with Korrolls had long since been severed, and Curris didn't know if it would be in line with the route Korors had originally designed, so he had to wait and see. The most important thing at hand is to test the latest assault weapons, and the huge base is full of new weapons, which can only be shown to be powerful through actual combat. Kuris was waiting for a major attack by the Brethic army.

The various observation posts around the manor spotted signs of a Blethian attack and reported back. Curris spotted that the cavalry coming from the front was only a rather imposing cavalry but not many troops, and the guns of the Breesian warships from the eastern seas were aimed in the direction of the manor. The large muzzle of the cannon once caused panic among some of the soldiers from the small merchants in the Continental Army, but after Curris's calculations, the firepower of the warship could not cover the manor at all. In addition, Curris's elaborate secret weapons will negate the effect of the British army's firepower. So when the cavalry of Brethria made a big feint to attack the front of the manor, Curris didn't pay much attention to it at all, he was waiting for the truly elite Brethian army to attack. Everyone was shocked by Curris's composure, and of course their hearts were full of suspicion. Curris ignored the suspicions, and simply told the soldiers to double-check the boxy lumps and stock up on ammunition.

The field marshal led the infantry to begin the attack under the cover of the cavalry, and in order to make the detour more successful, he increased the curvature of the detour, and of course increased the physical exertion of the troops on the long march. Marching in the strong sun, relying on a small amount of fresh water as a basic ration, it was really difficult for the Bristles expeditionary force to bear easily. Fortunately, there was no obstacle from the complicated terrain, which could somewhat relax the marshal's heart. He had heard from the Governor about the last time the expeditionary force had been wiped out, but he still couldn't believe that any enemy army could wipe out a well-armed and well-trained Imperial expeditionary force at will. The defeat he encountered when he first came ashore only made the marshal begin to believe that the strength of the other side should not be underestimated, but the marshal did not believe that the Continental Army could really compete with the imperial army that had been fighting for many years. He approached the rear of the manor with his troops, changed into the outfit of an ordinary soldier, and began to organize his ranks in preparation for the attack. Of course, guns and ammunition need to be sufficient, and ammunition needs to be prepared. The marshal had been through a lot of wars and was deeply fond of destroying the enemy with the most basic incendiary incention. He asked the soldiers to launch a burning offensive against whatever facility the place could rely on, until there was nowhere for the other side to escape. The manor building, separated by a fence wall, is an all-timber structure that is the best object to burn. The marshal drew his sword, directed the direction to the valiant soldiers, and launched a phalanx charge.

The army easily destroyed the fence that had been used as a fence and went deep into the manor. The speed of the frontal phalanx is the most good, and the left and right flank phalanxes are guarded left and right in a wedge-shaped shape to cover the breakthrough of the frontal phalanx. The marshal still did not see the shadow of the enemy, and he could not help but slow down, but he could not make up his mind to stop the attack. So when the ground in front suddenly changed, the Brethren army was still advancing, and then it was stopped by the scene in front of it. The ground began to collapse, and to be exact, the ground began to reveal a number of holes in a regular pattern. With a creaking sound, a tall monster emerged from the underground cavern, dragging a high pillar of smoke and roaring. Once all exposed to the ground, the speed began to increase, and the monsters rushed in a line towards the marshal's phalanx. The tall figure gives people a strong shock, and the Breez soldiers can still be a little calm at the beginning, and they begin to release a platoon of guns towards the opponent to hit the opponent. But when they found that the bullets were ineffective, they began to squeeze their formation. The marshal commanded the throwing of incendiary ammunition, trying to burn the opposing side. The opponent, apparently aware of the attempts of the Blisian soldiers, began to line up in a line and stopped.

The monster stopped, and several holes opened in front of it, revealing barrels of different calibers. The marshal secretly shouted that it was not good, and hurriedly ordered the troops to change formation and disperse in the form of stragglers. But the order was too late, and almost all the barrels of the guns of the other side let out a roar, and poured white smoke at the Brethian soldiers. The opponent's ammunition not only has a long range, but also has a concentrated trajectory and a high hit rate. As the barrel of the monster's gun slowly turned, the Breech soldiers who began to retreat were like crops facing farmers with scythes in their hands. The marshal was no exception, his shoulder and left leg were numb, and his body fell diagonally. The body of the fallen soldier beside him pressed on the marshal. The one-sided war eventually turned into a massacre, and by the time Curris asked the soldiers to stop, the Bunes were already standing on the ground. The corpse on the ground fanned around the monster of Curis, and Curis crawled out of the monster, and found that he did not experience the joy of victory, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

The marshal saw through his telescope that the guns on the warships could not hit the enemy on the opposite plain, and could only fire shells in vain to support the slaughtered British soldiers. The admiral remembered the group of parliamentarians who were shouting all day in parliament for a reduction in military spending, a group of fools who did not know the cruelty of war, and certainly did not know what advanced weapons meant for the army. He was so angry that he put down his binoculars and asked the adjutant next to him to record today's battle situation in detail, and return to China after the war to form a report as a material for accusation. For the Continental Army of Curis, who had already won on the plains, the admiral was also wondering what it was. I wanted to ask the adjutants and staff officers around me, but then I gave up, the marshal who had served in the navy for the longest time had traveled all over the world, and he had never seen such a monster, let alone anyone else. Just when the admiral was so frustrated that he watched the other party wipe out all the Brethian troops and had nothing to do, the young staff officer behind him whispered that he had seen a design that was similar to the monster on the other side.

This staff officer is a first-class staff officer, which is the shortest level of seniority among staff officers. It's normal to speak quietly, after all, the navy is a distinguished service that pays attention to seniority. When the marshal heard this, he asked at length, and the staff officer again mentioned Wells, the unscrupulous priest who was far away from home. He claimed to have seen drawings of the thing in the messy barn in Wells, and even a model made of wood. Wells called it the Land Cruiser at the time. The marshal cursed once again at the guys in the council who had not done enough to do more than enough to fail, why such an advanced new weapon could not equip the Imperial army. After cursing a few words in his mouth that this was a shameless crime, he asked the Navy to sail the ship out to the open sea. He could fully estimate that the range of the main guns of those black monsters on the opposite side had far exceeded the range of the ship's guns, and if Curris took advantage of the situation to attack, the warship would be in great danger.
