Chapter 53: He Xuan Returns to the Island

The three remnants of the Taiping Army.

Li Wencai's department in Guizhou.

Lai Wenguang of Shandong.

and Li Shixian's ministry in Guangdong.

There are about 10,000 people in the three divisions.

These three men and horses originally planned that once the Taiping Army headquarters on Duwan Island began to attack the Qing court, they would take advantage of the situation and strive to be a real king, instead of nesting in the ravines and ravines to be kings.

As a result, when I heard that the Western Eight-Nation Alliance had gathered in Ningbo Port, I was directly startled.

Depend on!

Western countries actually sent troops directly.

This is the big boss in this world.

This is the legendary invincible existence.

It is said that Western countries have countless unimaginable weapons.

How can this be played?

Even if they believed that the Young Heavenly King was a god, they were a little empty now.

......

On the Japanese side, Katsura Kogoro, Saigo Takamori and Okubo Ritsu are also watching this battle. In fact, the price paid by Japan in this war was quite large.

Twenty million taels of silver!

For Japan, a small country, it is very serious.

However, Japan actually did not lose in this war.

On the one hand, it can destroy the young king of the Taiping army, such a terrifying and powerful enemy. They have a clear understanding that thousands of Japanese soldiers have encountered He Xuan, which is simply delivering food. They only have a total number of soldiers in Japan, and they can't afford to wear out.

Second, we can take a look at what the real sophisticated weapons are in the West now. After knowing what the cutting-edge weapons of the West are, they can also conduct research in this direction.

Anyway, no matter which side is now, they all think that the Taiping Army on Duwan Island is finished.

The young king of the Taiping Army, it's over.

......

At such a critical moment.

He Xuan took a steamer and sat back to Duwan Island.

On Duwan Island, Li Xiucheng, the loyal king, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw He Xuan coming back: "Young Heavenly King, do you know the recent situation." ”

"You mean, the Western Eight-Nation Alliance has gathered 40,000 troops and gathered in Ningbo Port. ”

"Not only that, they have already sailed, and it is estimated that they will attack our Stay Bay Island soon. "The loyal king Li Xiucheng is also a good fighter in war. But I also know that the weapons and armies of the Western countries are far stronger than the Qing court and the Taiping army.

If he wants to face the coalition forces of Western countries, he is really not sure.

"That's right. He Xuan fell into deep thought, damn, in his previous life, it was the Qing court who was disobedient, and the Eight-Nation Coalition Army immediately gathered and easily attacked Beijing, burning the Old Summer Palace to the ground, so that when the Qing court heard about the Western countries, they bowed their heads again and again, and never dared to raise their heads again.

And in this life, the Eight-Nation Alliance is coming against itself. It's a real headache.

Western countries should have sharp weapons.

If you venture to war with the Western countries, you will have no problem and you should be able to save your life.

However, these Taiping troops behind them are afraid that they may not be able to keep it.

He Xuan quickly made a decision: "Now, the Western Eight-Nation Alliance is heading towards our Duwan Island. But it will take some time for the ship to come to us from Ningbo Port. In this way, I will go out alone and intercept the Western Eight-Nation Alliance at sea. Let's see what kind of firearms they have and if they can hurt me. ”

"If their firearms can't hurt me, I'll beat them 80,000 men on the sea. ”

"If it's their firearms, they can hurt me. With my ability, I can also save a life. A place like the sea is actually my main battlefield, and I can escape by the sea at any time, because in the sea, they can't pursue it yet. ”

"And if you receive the news of my defeat, you don't care, you can flee as far as you want, and flee to Southeast Asia. The forces over there should not be your opponents. ”

"This is the only way to preserve. ”

After listening to He Xuan's strategy, Li Xiucheng, the loyal king, also fell into deep contemplation: "Your Majesty, your method is indeed a way. Only, there are two things that are wrong. ”

"First, we are all your courtiers of Your Majesty the Young Heavenly King. As a result, at the critical moment, His Majesty was asked to go up, which seemed to be ...... Very problematic. ”

"The other emperors, their wizenies, are all powerless people. I'm a god, that's a completely different concept. That's not the problem, but the second one. ”

"The second problem is, if Your Majesty is defeated, we will also flee to Southeast Asia. But what's the use, the power of the Western countries can cover the whole world. They can easily chase us to Southeast Asia and kill us. ”

"That's a question. He Xuan thought for a while: "This is easy to solve, I will make a fake death." The main target of the Western nations should be me, not you. As long as I look like I'm dead, they'll have no interest in chasing you. ”

"Moreover, after the Western countries captured Duwan, they earned 100 million taels of silver. It's serious to earn money and share it, how much interest there is to chase you. If you really chase it, I remember that the Heaven and Earth Society also has quite a lot of power in Southeast Asia, which can be broken into pieces. ”

After listening to He Xuan's analysis one by one, the loyal king Li Xiucheng could only smile bitterly: "So far, it can only be like this." I, as a courtier, am incompetent, and I can't protect Your Majesty thoroughly, but I want Your Majesty to take risks again and again. I'm sorry God. ”

After making a decision, He Xuan went to find Shang Yanyan, the queen of the summer, and Dong Xiaomiao, the queen of winter. As for Chen Qingzhu, the queen of spring, she is the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, and there are too many things to do, so much so that she is not on the island all year round.

Tell Shang Yanyan and Dong Xiaomiao about their plans simply.

Both of them were slightly startled.

"Your Majesty has decided to do this, and the concubines and others can only support it. ”

"However, Your Majesty, you must protect your divine body and not die in this battle. ”

"The sea is too risky, Your Majesty must be careful. "Neither of them is too worried, after all, He Xuan has had the experience of being reborn after death before.

"I'll be careful. ”

Next, we went on a boat.

The boat can't be too small.

Otherwise, it's too slow.

And if the ship is big, you need someone to drive the boat.

He Xuan can keep himself safe, but the people who go with him are basically certain to die. After explaining all the cause and effect, there are also a lot of people vying to get to the boat. In the end, an old man named Ding Jian, who was in his fifties, was selected to drive the boat.

On board, a lot of food was piled up.

In this way, He Xuan sat at the bow of the boat, looking in the direction of the distance, his eyes were leisurely. The sword was placed beside him, and the wine was placed beside him.

The wind blows, and the wind hunts.

The ship was launched.

Head straight to the northeast.

There, it will be the direction from which the Eight-Nation Coalition will come.

This time, I want to step on the southern sky and shatter the spiritual sky.

If you don't go back!

It's gone!
