Chapter 417: Heroic Martyr

The first aid Tia provided to Shangguan Xiu was a large steam engine. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn addition, Shangguan Hongdu also gave Shangguan Xiu eight muskets in his private name.

This is a very precious gift. As far as Tia's current technology is concerned, the musket has not yet been mass-produced, one is that the parts of the musket are too small and detailed, and the second is that the smoothbore in the barrel of the musket is too precise. Muskets can only be handcrafted by the best craftsmen, and it takes a long time to create a finished musket.

It is conceivable how difficult it is to transport such a large steam engine from Tia thousands of miles back to Zhenjun without being damaged on the way. However, Tia had a way, they first disassembled the steam engine, transported it to Zhenjun in the form of parts, and then reassembled it after arriving in Zhenjun.

Of course, it is useless to transport a steam engine to Zhenjun, it is a pile of scrap metal, in order to make this steam engine work normally in Zhenjun, Tia also provided 100 relevant personnel who are familiar with the operation of the steam engine and sent them to Zhenjun together.

Shangguan Xiu finally got the Tia technology he wanted, and this trip to Tia was a complete success.

On the third day after the signing of the agreement, Shangguan Xiu submitted his resignation to Shangguan Hongdu, intending to return to Zhenjun. That night, Shangguan Hongdu held a banquet to see off Shangguan Xiu, and the Tia nobles led by Duke Dangwei came to attend.

During the banquet, Shangguan Xiu originally wanted to propose that Qingshan and Qingyuan go to Zhenjun with him. Qingyuan is a technical talent, and he completed the transformation of the fire gun into a powerful musket, and Shangguan Xiu needs a talent like Qingyuan too much. And Qingshan is the most unswerving supporter of Tia's spirit of attaching importance to education, his philosophy is to oppose all means of war and violence, and vigorously develop education, he is also the most familiar with Tia's education system, and he wants to emulate Shangguanxiu of Tia's education system, and he also needs Qingshan to give guidance. Kneel and beg for a hundred black * rock * cabinets

However, Shangguan Xiu hadn't spoken yet, but Qingyuan took the initiative to propose to Shangguan Hongdu that he wanted to travel to Fengguo Zhenjun to increase his knowledge. Kyungseon, on the other hand, showed little interest in going to Jeong-gun, and his ambition was not in the Windy Country, but only in Tia.

Shangguan Hong did not object to Qingyuan's desire to go to Zhenjun, and he did not raise any objections to Qingyuan's reluctance to go to Zhenjun with Shangguan Xiu.

Qingshan's decision made Shangguan Xiu deeply regretful, but fortunately, Qingyuan decided to return to Zhenjun with him. Seeing that her father agreed to her second brother going to Zhenjun, Qingyan immediately proposed to go to Zhenjun, and said conclusively that she had her favorite object in Zhenjun.

Of the four children, two of them were going to the distant Fengguo Zhen County, and Shangguan Hong was somewhat reluctant, but seeing Qingyan's attitude was very resolute, he did not stop him.

He said to Shangguan Xiu: "Ah Xiu, Qingyuan and Qingyan are used to being arrogant in Tiadu, and when they arrive in Zhenjun, they will inevitably cause trouble for you, so you have to take care of it more!"

Shangguan Xiu stood up and said, "I regard Qingyuan and Qingyan as brothers and sisters, as long as I am still in Zhenjun, even if the two of them break the sky, I will help them two hold up!"

Shangguan Hong smiled, this is a family that can only speak, Shangguan Xiu can say this, he is relieved. He leaned over to Shangguan Xiu, and asked curiously in a low voice, "Ah Xiu, tell you the truth to Uncle Tai, who is Qingyan's favorite object in Zhenjun?"

Is there such a person? Shangguan Xiu consciously looked at Qingyan who was talking and laughing with Qingyuan, in his impression, Qingyan didn't get too close to anyone when she was in Zhenjun, why did she suddenly have a favorite object?

He was secretly amused, thinking that this was just a pretext for Qingyan to go to Zhenjun. He didn't break it, and said seriously: "Uncle Tai, this matter, I'll investigate it well after I return to Zhenjun." ”

"Well, Qingyan is still young and lacks experience, so it is inevitable that she will meet unladylike people, so you can't let her come nonsense, Ah Xiu, you have to help Uncle Tai take care of it!" Shangguan Hongdu said with a worried face.

"Uncle Tai, don't worry, if anyone dares to bully Qingyan, I will never spare him. "When I was at Yongsheng Pass, I saw that I was hooking up with Qingyan, and Shangguan Xiu almost strangled me to death. For Shangguan Qingyan, Shangguan Xiu really treats her as a precious sister.

The next day, Shangguan Xiu said goodbye to Shangguan Hongdu and set off for Zhenjun. When he came, Shangguan Xiu only brought Qingyan Xiao Jue Wu Yufei to be Ziyin, and when he went back, it was a large army, in addition to the original team, there were also one hundred and ten Tia craftsmen from Qingyuan, and hundreds of Tia workers who were responsible for transporting equipment.

During Shangguanxiu's return from Tia to Zhenjun, an earth-shattering event occurred in Shangjing.

The rear general of the Wind Country, who defended the city of Ulan alone in the Battle of Ulan, and killed the eldest grandson of the Prince of Ningnan, Huaiming, the old general who made immortal achievements, Wei Chi Yao, led the army to rebel, attacked the palace, and wanted to kill the goddess Tang Ling.

After Shangguan Xiu returned to Xijing in Zhenjun, he immediately received this summons from Shangjing.

After reading this handicap, Shangguan Xiu's eyes were wet and red, and he couldn't help but go to Beijing in front of him, knelt on his knees, choked and said: "The wind is heroic, nothing more than this!"

The veteran general Wei Chi Yao did not plot a rebellion, but openly rebelled.

The reason for his rebellion is very simple, as long as Tang Ling is still there, Ning Nan will use the bargaining chip of peace to demagogue, split and divide the Feng Country, only when Tang Ling is dead, the Feng Country can be single-minded, and there is no way out, and the same hatred of the enemy, and fight to the death with Ning Nan to the end.

Wei Chi Yao is the rear general of the Wind Country, he is seventy years away, he has fought for the Wind Country for nearly a Jiazi, and his prestige in the army is extremely high, even if he is openly rebelling, openly declaring that he should kill the king and set up a new master, there are still more than 3,000 soldiers in the army to support and follow.

This is a capital crime, but there is such a group of people in the Wind Country, who know that it is death, but they still want to do it.

Wei Chiyao led more than 3,000 rebels from outside the capital and attacked and killed the city. To be precise, it was the soldiers who rushed directly into Shangjing without blood, because the soldiers and soldiers guarding the city gate were stupid, and no one dared to believe that the old general Wei Chi Yao would rebel.

Until the rebels rushed through the two long streets of Shangjing, the huge Shangjing City had been blown up, and the defenders in the capital came out to block it, and the defenders hurriedly met the battle, and they did not dare to fight hard with Wei Chi Yao's real swords and guns, the defenders were broken through one after another, and the rebels rushed to the outside of the palace in one go.

Rushing further on, there is the Imperial Palace, and inside and outside the walls of the Imperial Palace, it is densely packed with Praetorian Guards. Tang Ling was already standing on the gate tower of the palace at this time, looking at the murderous Wei Chiyao and thousands of rebels outside the city, Tang Ling's mood could only be described as scratching and rubbing his intestines.

Even Wei Chi Yao, the most loyal veteran of the Wind Country, stood up against him, and asked, who else in the Wind Country would support him. Tang Ling forcibly suppressed the sadness in his heart, and said meaningfully to Wei Chi Yao outside the city: "The old general's intentions, I have already understood, the old general...... Please come back!"

Tang Ling did his best not to let his voice tremble.

"Your Majesty should be determined to die and protect me from the gale!" Wei Chiyao turned over his horse, held his sword, and strode forward. Seeing this, the Praetorian Guards on the opposite side cheered, rushed forward, and stretched out their sharp blades to point directly at the oncoming Wei Chiyao.

Tang Ling shook his head and said, "I am the emperor of the wind, and I will never cut myself!"

"If Your Majesty does not die, the Wind Country will perish! Your Majesty, as a windy goddess, should make sacrifices for the thousands of years and thousands of achievements of the wind!" Wei Chiyao stopped and looked up. Then, he looked at the crowds of Janissaries on the opposite side, and shouted: "If you protect the Heavenly Maiden, you are dying me in a gale, don't you understand this truth now?"

The Praetorian Guards looked at each other, and even if someone agreed with his words, they didn't dare to show it in the slightest.

At this moment, the generals of the Shaozhuang faction led by Nie Zhen and Ziyiling led tens of thousands of central troops to rush up from behind the rebels. Soon, Wei Chiyao and his more than 3,000 rebels were surrounded outside the palace.

A touch of sadness flashed in Tang Ling's eyes, she held the arrow on the wall of the palace in her hand, leaned out, and said word by word: "Old general, please go back, count me...... Beg...... You...... The last three words were said by Tang Ling in a tremor.

Wei Chi looked at the Central Army of the Praetorian Guard in all directions, and the old man suddenly looked up and laughed, shook his head and said: "The foolishness and loyalty of your generation are really the culprit who caused me to lose the country in a strong wind!"

"Old General Wei Chi, putting your weapons now is the only way out for you to wait!" Nie Zhen urged him to step forward and shouted in a deep voice.

"Haha!" Wei Chiyao laughed again.

- "The strong man of the wind is born like the scorching sun, and death is like the end of the bright moon." ”

Yu Chi Yao raised his sword and pointed at Tang Ling at the head of the city.

- "If the wind is eternal, the awakening of the wind people, we must use the blood of our generation to pay tribute, my generation, what are you afraid of death?"

As he spoke, the old general flipped his wrist and held his sword upside down, resting it across his neck.

Tang Ling's pupils shrank suddenly, and he stretched out his hand and shouted, "The old general can't ......"

"The gale will not be extinguished—" Wei Chi Yao roared, and the saber in his hand slashed fiercely. The three-foot blade tore open his throat, and a bloody arrow erupted.

Poof! Wei Chiyao's body fell to the ground, and all the soldiers around him did not change color.

The more than 3,000 officers and men of the Feng Army who followed Wei Chiyao in the rebellion, without exception, all pulled out the short knives they carried with them and held them across their necks. The soldiers in the first row shouted in unison, "The wind will not be extinguished!" and then slit their throats with short blades, and a row of bloody arrows spewed out, staining the ground in front of the palace red.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers in the second row also shouted in unison: "The wind will not be extinguished!" There are more than 3,000 soldiers of the Feng Army, none of whom are greedy for life and afraid of death, all of them are determined to die, and they have really sworn to follow Wei Chi Yao.

More than 3,000 soldiers of the Feng Army, led by Wei Chiyao, committed suicide together in front of the palace, and this scene can no longer be described as shock.

The people present looked at the corpses all over the ground, and watched the blood flowing on the ground, many of the wind troops couldn't help it anymore, threw away the weapons in their hands, knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

Life is like the scorching sun, and death is like the end of the bright moon. Wei Chiyao and his soldiers have done what they said.

Shangguan Xiu saw this handicap, his heart was like a knife, and he couldn't help but bow down in the direction of Shangjing, and said the words 'Great wind and heroes, nothing more than this'.
