The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 806 Ambush on the Snow Field
"Eunuch, eunuch, you treat an emperor like this, and you are not afraid of death?"

"Eunuch, the master behind you treats me like this, aren't you afraid of the world's fierce slander?!"

"Damn it, kill me, kill me, I would rather die than suffer such humiliation!"

No matter how much Kang Mazi struggled, he couldn't break free from the shackles at all.

Even though Kang Mazi yelled and scolded, Lin Muen remained unmoved.

Call me eunuch?

Ha ha, don't worry, soon you will too!
With a sneer, Lin Muen said.

"Slander in the world? Did you ever care about the slander in the world when you, Jiannu, forcibly implemented the act of shaving your hair and changing clothes in the world, massacring the people of our Ming Dynasty?"

"It's really a joke, is it true that the people of the world will slander the monarch because of you as a Tartar?"

Having said all this, Lin Muen stopped talking nonsense and turned to the white coat beside him.

"Go ahead!"

The two white coats did not hesitate when they heard the words, they strode forward and began to prepare for the castration operation.

They took out scalpels, hemostats and other things from the medicine box, and sterilized the knives with high-concentration alcohol.

Generally speaking, when eunuchs are castrated, the doctor in charge of the operation will anesthetize the recipient.

Although the effect of Mafeisan in this era is not as good as the anesthetics in later generations, after drinking it, it can more or less relieve pain.

However, when preparing Kang Mazi for the operation, the two doctors had no intention of injecting him with Mafei San.

Of course, it's not that they forgot, but that Zhu Hongyu deliberately arranged it.

When Kang Mazi killed the third prince alive in history, he didn't give him Mafeisan.

And Zhu Hongyu's request was not only not to give Kang Mazi to drink Mafeisan, but also to keep him awake during the operation as much as possible, and to slow down the operation as much as possible, so as to give him the greatest pain...

As long as people don't die!
Under the supervision of Lin Muen, the operation began.

The two white coats first sterilized Kang Mazi's chicken with iodophor and alcohol, and then prepared to operate the knife.

The sharp blade sliced ​​through the skin, blood oozed out, and Kang Mazi's cry instantly became shrill...

"what!"

"Help! Don't, don't castrate me, I don't want to be a eunuch!"

"..."

However, Kang Mazi's words could not hinder the actions of the two white coats.

They kill the chicken first, and then retrieve the eggs. Their movements are done in one go.

Because Kangxi's emotions were too agitated, the bleeding from his wound was very fast, and there were bloodstains all over the hospital bed...

Lin Muen watched Kang Mazi's younger brother being cut off, and saw Kang Mazi's miserable appearance, the corner of his mouth twitched, feeling a dull pain in his crotch.

This is so special, it has a sense of substitution!

Glancing at the pickled thing presented to him by two white coats, the very obvious fried dough stick and two eggs, Lin Muen snorted coldly, and ordered.

"Feed it to the dog immediately, so as not to stain our eyes!"

When the two white coats heard the news, they directly handed over the cut medical waste to a young eunuch for disposal, while they went back to continue the operation.

The eunuch is finished, but the wound needs to be cleaned, disinfected and stitched up next.

Alcohol was poured on the wound for disinfection, and Kang Mazi's cry became more and more shrill...

……

After the operation, Kang Mazi was put on a new suit and sent out of the palace.

Of course, this time he was not sent back to the sky prison, but was sent to a mansion in Nanjing City, where he was allowed to cultivate.

Hanging at the entrance of the mansion is the plaque of the residence of the Daming Royal Song and Dance Troupe!

In fact, not only Kangxi, Burni, Dayan Khan and others were all imprisoned here.

Of course, their freedom was only limited by the confinement, and their food, drink and clothing were not bad at all.

Especially Burni, since Zhu Hongyu slept with her sister, it is naturally impossible to abuse him again.

Now Burni still has a Liujue of Anlebo hanging on his body!

Although his status is not high, he can be regarded as one of the honorable relatives of Daming.

After being raised for such a long period of time, Burnie has gained a lot of weight compared to before, and looks even richer.

After they knew that the Great Ming King of the Subjugated Song and Dance Troupe was about to have newcomers, the group of people were all a little excited.

He even took the initiative to greet him outside the mansion!
Then, they saw Kang Mazi lying on a stretcher, covered with a white cloth, with an unlovely expression on his face.

Burni saw Lin Muen, the leader of the crowd, and asked a few steps forward.

"Zhongguan, Zhongguan, who is here this time?"

Looking at the curious expression on Burni's face, Lin Muen didn't hold back and said.

"If you go back to Uncle, the one who came this time is the false Emperor Kangxi who built slaves!"

Burni's younger sister is very favored by Zhu Hongyu, and Zhu Hongyu loves to call her Little Mustang.

As the eunuch next to the emperor, Lin Muen knew the emperor's love for Qi Qige, so he would not offend Burni.

When Burni heard this, he said in astonishment.

"Has Daming eliminated the false Qing?"

Although Burni didn't have a good impression of Man Qing, but he suddenly heard that Man Qing was destroyed, and his mood was a bit complicated.

Lin Muen said.

"No!"

"This time, the puppet Qing Dynasty had a change of internal strife. The traitor Hesheli Sony rebelled and captured the Tartar Chieftain Kangxi. He didn't dare to deal with it, and then dedicated it to Daming."

As the eunuch next to the emperor, Lin Muen is a servant of the royal family. When speaking and doing things, he naturally wants to stand on the standpoint of the imperial power.

Therefore, he didn't have a good impression of Sony who dared to rebel!
Not only did he not like it, but he was even full of disgust.

Burni nodded knowingly, and then scolded Sony in agreement.

Then he turned his eyes to Kangxi who was lying on the stretcher, and asked.

"What's wrong with Xuanye Tartar?"

Now Kangxi's eyes are absent-minded, his face is loveless, and his cheeks are thin and pale.

If it weren't for the heaving of his chest, Burnie would have thought it was a corpse.

Could it be that Daming tortured him here?
It shouldn't be, Da Tianzi is still very tolerant. After they came to Nanjing, they didn't suffer any torture.

Lin Muen chuckled, and mercilessly sprinkled salt on Kangxi's wound.

"Xuanye Tatar chieftain has committed a serious crime. Although His Majesty does not want to kill him, he cannot be lightly forgiven."

"That's why an order was passed to our family to allow him to serve and make atonement before entering the imperial court after being castrated..."

When Kangxi, who was lying on the stretcher, heard the words, his unlovely expression changed instantly.

With a hoarse voice, he yelled.

"Shameless, despicable villain!"

"I will not let you go, I will definitely not let you go."

"..."

Seeing this, Lin Muen shrugged his shoulders, as if to say, look like this.

Burni also twitched the corner of his mouth, and looked at Kangxi with more sympathy for an instant.

This Kangxi is really miserable now!

For a man who used to be an emperor, castrating him is probably more uncomfortable than killing him.

Lin Muen said with a smile.

"I have Uncle Robert's help to comfort me!"

Burnie nodded slightly.

"Okay! Good! Leave it to me."

"..."

……

Lin Muen returned to the imperial city and rushed to report to Zhu Hongyu.

"Report to Your Majesty, the servant has done the job!"

"The Tatar Chief Xuanye has been castrated!"

Zhu Hongyu raised his head, nodded slightly and said.

"well done!"

"Go down and rest!"

Lin Muen resigned and left.

But Zhu Hongyu continued to work on the things in his hand.

Now he is thinking about how to deal with Manqing himself?
Faced with Satsuma's request for a loan, should he choose to agree?

What should I do next to ensure the balance of power in Japan?
Let the Manchu Qing survive the next period of pain after the coup?
Thinking about this, Zhu Hongyu felt that, otherwise, he might as well wipe out the Manqing, and then Daming would end himself...

But after much deliberation, Zhu Hongyu temporarily gave up the tempting idea of ​​going off to play a small life in person.

Without him, in the final analysis, it is because the population of Xiaotian is too much now.

There are tens of millions of people living on a few small islands, so how crowded are they!

It would not be difficult for Daming to defeat the Tokugawa shogunate's army if he ended up in person, but the vast ocean of the people's war is the real most difficult problem.

After all, the Ming Dynasty was the master of the Celestial Dynasty, so they couldn’t learn from the Manchus or Western white skins to engage in massacres and genocide, right?
It's not the Holy Mother of Zhu Hongyu, but he wants to save face, and he must not do it himself.

This is the value of the white glove of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Forget it, let Man Qingxian and Xiaozi continue to love each other and kill each other!
When they fight for a few years and the land that Huo Huo gave to Huo Huo is sparsely populated, it will be the time for Daming to end up picking peaches.

Thinking about these messy things, Zhu Hongyu finally made a decision.

The Satsuma clan's request for a loan can be agreed, and even Daming can sell some arms to the Satsuma clan.

However, if the Satsuma clan wanted to borrow money, they had to agree to some requests from Daming and sign an unequal treaty.

The first is that the Satsuma clan wants to open the market to Ming Dynasty.

Second, it is Satsuma who provides a certain amount of labor to Daming every year.

Thirdly, the Satsuma clan needs to lease Kagoshima from Ming Dynasty, and the government affairs of Kagoshima will be transferred to Ming Dynasty, who will station troops in Kagoshima.

fourth……

There are many conditions, but they are all relatively harsh, but Zhu Hongyu believes that Satsuma will not refuse.

And the reason is very simple, Daming still has a garrison of more than a thousand people stationed in Kagoshima.

The Satsuma domain has no room for rejection!
Of course, in addition to this, Daming will also come off in person to help the Satsuma clan and the Qing Dynasty collab.

This is the biggest benefit that the Satsuma clan can get by agreeing to so many "reasonable demands" from Daming and borrowing money from Daming.

The reason why Daming did this was, on the one hand, to ensure that the Satsuma clan would not be destroyed, and that the money owed to Daming could be repaid.

On the other hand, Zhu Hongyu wanted to help Man Qing, who was in the throes of the coup d'état, relieve the pressure!
The current Manchu Qing Dynasty is under great pressure, with the Tokugawa shogunate ready to move in the north and the Satsuma vassal forces still resisting in the south.

They are also a little unstable because of the coup!
Under such circumstances, if Zhu Hongyu did not end up supporting him, it would not be impossible for the Qing Dynasty to be destroyed amidst internal and external troubles.

Before that, Zhu Hongyu really never imagined that one day he would break his heart for the continuation of the Manchu dynasty...

If Kangxi knew that Zhu Hongyu cared so much about Daqing, he would probably be moved to tears!

……

The winter in Liaodong is very cold!

Due to its proximity to Bohai Bay and the Sea of ​​Japan, Liaodong is humid and has a lot of rain and snow.

Every winter, it often happens that the mountain is blocked by heavy snow.

As for Nuer Gandusi further north in Liaodong, the climate is even worse.

The extreme low temperature weather makes it impossible for most human beings to adapt to life here.

A team of 30 scouts from the Ming Army trekked hard in the direction of Nuer Gandusi in the snowstorm!

They were wearing thick cotton armor and white cloaks behind them, but their cheeks were still sore from the cold wind.

I have to say that in a cold place like Liaodong, cotton armor is indeed much more practical than iron armor.

Although ugly is a bit ugly, but it is practical, it has the effect of keeping warm and protecting, and has been welcomed by many people.

Now in Liaodong, there are also Ming army garrisons on the nine sides, and basically all of them have reissued a cotton armor.

Iron armor is worn in warm weather, and cotton armor is worn in cold weather.

"Platoon leader, according to the map instructions, we are about to enter the border of Tumuhewei not far ahead!"

A soldier of the Ming army, whose face was smeared with anti-cold oil wax, came to the platoon leader to report.

The platoon leader pulled his feet out of the snow, looked around, and then spoke.

"Send the order down, prepare to camp and rest!"

When the platoon leader gave an order, the surrounding soldiers clasped their fists in agreement.

Then get ready to camp.

These scouts were skillfully preparing to chop wood and light a fire, and dig snow nests.

The imperial court planned to send troops to recover Nuer Gandusi and expel the Raksha people after the spring of the Ming army. Naturally, it is necessary to have a general understanding of Nuer Gandusi's situation before the war.

These people are the spies sent by the court in advance!
These elite scouts braved the wind and snow and entered Nuergandusi, just to clear the way for the court before the court sent troops to the Northern Expedition.

And the scouts who can be sent out are also the elite among the scouts.

Many of them are local Daur people in Liaodong, Oroqen people and other minorities. In addition, there are many Beishan Jurchen, savage Jurchen, and Mongols.

There are too many of these people, I dare not say, the survivability in the wild is basically full.

And they are also extremely frost-resistant, even if they are not as good as Lao Maozi, they are not much worse.

Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to march towards Nuer Gandusi in the midst of winter!
A group of people camped in place, and then began to prepare to bury the pot for cooking.

What they ate was dry military rations that had been prepared long ago.

Boil a pot of water, add dry food to cook, and soon you can get a pot of fragrant thick porridge.

Add some of the dried meat they carry with them, or the game they hunted, and that's a pretty good meal.

At the very least, this meal surpassed ninety-nine percent of people in this era.

After dinner, everyone began to divide into groups, one group was responsible for guarding the surrounding area, and the other group rested.

That night, when the platoon leader drank some soju to warm up and was about to sleep.

A Ming soldier of Oroqen nationality came to report.

"Platoon leader, I just found a hunting trap in the dense forest ahead!"

"There should be some activity around here!"

Hearing this, the platoon leader narrowed his eyes and said.

"Can you be sure whether it is the tribes who settled nearby or the Raksha people?"

Hearing this, Li Li opened his mouth and said.

"It should be left by the Raksha people."

"That trap is made of animal traps, and the material of the animal traps is made of iron. Those tribes who settled nearby should not be able to produce iron animal traps."

Li Li was the Chinese name given to this soldier according to the rules of the Ming army.

In order to better assimilate those young people who joined the army, in addition to indoctrination, the army also stipulates that every soldier who joins the army must have a Chinese name.

In the military, things like military registration and calculation of military merits are all based on Chinese names.

When the platoon leader heard this, his expression was uncertain.

Things like animal traps seem inconspicuous, but they still have a certain test for iron smelting technology.

Just relying on tribes like Nuer Gandusi who rely on fishing and hunting for a living, and their living conditions are almost the same as primitive people, they can't make traps.

The platoon leader pondered for a while, then spoke.

"Since a trap has been set, I will definitely come back to check."

"Notice, clean up the place after dawn, try to hide your tracks, and prepare to ambush.

Li Li nodded in agreement.

The platoon leader patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Okay, let's rest!"

……

On the second day, dawn!

A team of 30 Ming troops normally and quickly cleaned up the traces of life left in place.

Then began to prepare to hide and ambush.

The 30 people quickly dispersed around the trap, hid themselves, and then began to ambush patiently.

On the first day, everything was normal, and there was no abnormality at all for four weeks.

The next day, everything was still normal and calm.

On the third day, everything was still normal, but snowflakes began to float in the sky.

On the fourth day, when the Ming army waited a little impatiently, a stupid roe deer stepped on the trap.

Seeing this scene, some soldiers of the Ming army wanted to go forward and kill that stupid roe deer for meat.

"Platoon leader, the brothers haven't lighted a fire these days. They just ate dry pancakes, drank cold water, and ate dried meat. A bird is almost fading out of their mouths."

"It's hard to pick up a stupid roe deer for nothing, so let the brothers eat meat!"

A veteran said with a flattering face.

He has been in the army for a long time, and he is also an old acquaintance with the platoon leader, so he is much more courageous than other ordinary soldiers.

He dared to say things that ordinary soldiers dared not mention with a playful smile.

The platoon leader glanced around, shook his head and said.

"No, it's easy to expose your position if you get angry!"

"I've been waiting here for four days, and I've been in the cold for four days. How can I waste all my previous work because of a momentary appetite?"

Hearing this, Zhao Hu smacked his lips helplessly, obviously greedy.

But seeing the platoon leader's resolute attitude, he no longer dared to say anything.

The old soldier's oil belongs to the veteran's oil, and he still understands the military order like a mountain.

The Ming army continued to wait patiently.

On the fifth day, everything was still normal.

On the sixth day, everything was normal in the morning. In the afternoon, a line of troops appeared at the end of the line of sight of the Ming army standing guard.

There were three to forty people in that team, all of them were wearing thick leather jackets, and a black cloak was wrapped around them.

Almost everyone is leading a horse, and behind the horse is pulling a sledge, and many bloody prey are tied to the sledge.

Besides, there were quite a few people holding a few black and white wolves by their hands.

It's just a little strange that these wolves can pull sleds.

The platoon leader of the Ming Army looked at the team that suddenly appeared, narrowed his eyes, and said in a low voice.

"Notice, let everyone prepare for battle!"

"As soon as the enemy enters the ambush circle, attack immediately!"

Although those wolves were a little weird, the Ming army didn't take them too seriously.

They all have guns in their hands!

Can you be afraid of wolves with a gun?

……

Hamenkov led a husky sled dog in his hand, and strode along with the team in the dense forest.

He stretched out his hand and scratched his itchy neck because he hadn't bathed for a long time, looked at the dirt and grease in his nails, and stuffed his hands into his mouth indifferently and mumbled.

There was an extremely perverted intoxicated look on his face.

Seeing this scene, Roman on the side couldn't help retching and kicked Khamenkov.

"Hamenkov, what are you doing? It's disgusting!"

Hamenkov heard the words, but he didn't take it seriously at all.

shrugged and said.

"I'm a man!"

While speaking, he picked up the wine bag on his waist and took a sip of vodka for himself.

Roman walked a few steps quickly with a look of disgust, moving away from Hamenkov.

As Cossacks, some people don't like cleanliness, but there are also some who are particular about it.

The bearded man at the head heard the movement behind him, turned his head and said.

"Keep the formation not chaotic, be careful of attacks!"

These old men who came to the east are basically hated by people in the east. Because they often plunder and slaughter the surrounding tribes, the relationship with the surrounding tribes is very tense.

So much so that they dare not go out alone at all, and every time they leave the fort, they are in groups.

Just like this time when they came out to check the traps and collect prey, three or 40 people acted together.

Otherwise, if there are few people, if they are attacked and killed by the local tribe, they will not know who did it.

But even so, they were attacked from time to time along the way.

Hearing the captain's words, Hamenkov and Roman calmed down and said very respectfully.

"Obey dear Captain Ivan!"

As Cossacks, they are all Mu Qiang, and they are quite convinced of the captain.

You know, their captain once fought a black bear in front of everyone.

Of course, the size of the black bear is not too big. It is just a female black bear and weighs about [-] kilograms. It is estimated that it may not be an adult.

But even so, it was astonishing enough.

Ivan put his hands in front of his eyebrows, looking at the forest in the distance.

Not far ahead is the trap they set, I hope they can gain something.

In this damn place of Siberia, due to the climate, the most cultivated land is rye, potatoes and so on.

And the yield of potatoes in this era is actually the same, and rye is well-known that dogs don't eat it.

Therefore, these Rakshasa people are very short of food now.

Especially in winter, whether you will be hungry depends on whether you can catch prey.

And if you want to hunt in the ice and snow, even the old Maozi may not be able to do it.

However, as the trap they set got closer and closer, Ivan suddenly had some bad premonitions in his heart.

Looking at the dense forest and snow field around him, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated a lot.

The powerful sixth sense crazily reminds Ivan that there is danger here.

Just when he was about to speak to remind the people behind him to be careful.

Snapped!clap clap!clap clap clap!

In an instant, a series of gunshots sounded.

In an instant, someone in the team fell down.

It was almost a gunshot, and one person fell.

The reason why it is almost is because someone was unlucky and was shot several times at the same time.

Amidst the crackling gunshots, more than half of the Cossack team fell down in an instant.

Some were killed instantly, but many more were only wounded.

A wounded person lay on the ground, uttering a mournful wail.

However, Ivan, the captain, was also very unlucky. He was taken care of by the Ming army in ambush, and several muskets aimed at him and pulled the triggers all at once.

After the gunshot, the warrior who had fought a black bear was shot dead on the spot.

And the death of the captain also caused these brave Cossacks to lose their command directly.

Everyone was fighting back separately, making a mess.

All of a sudden, the sound of gunfire continued!

However, it is very obvious that the Ming army is completely suppressing these Cossacks unilaterally.

The weapons used by these scouts of the Ming army were all the latest rear-loading rifles.

The breech-loading rifle with fixed paper shell bullets has a far higher rate of fire than the arquebus used by the Cossacks.

These Cossacks could bully and bully primitive tribes in Siberia with matchlock guns, but when facing the Ming army, they were completely powerless to fight back.

"Suka is not listed, how many people are there in the enemy?"

"The gunshots are too dense, how can the musket fire so fast?"

"Damn it, don't they need to be reloaded?"

"..."

A group of Cossacks huddled together, hiding behind big trees, stones and other shelters, cursing and cursing.

Listening to the continuous gunshots all around, these Cossacks were full of panic.

Because judging from the gunshots alone, there must be at least hundreds or thousands of people ambushing them.

Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to shoot such a dense barrage without reloading the musket.

In their view, the only way to reload a musket is to stand up, and as long as you stand up, it is impossible not to reveal your position.

And now they don't see anyone at all.

From what they saw, the only possibility they could think of was that there were many enemies ambushing them, and there were also many muskets.

They can fight without reloading at all, and they can't lift their heads!

Khamenkov looked at Roman's body in the open space not far away, with a dazed expression.

Just now, Roman was shot several times one after another, and a lead bullet hit him directly in the head.

In an instant, Roman's head exploded, and blood mixed with the brain, staining the snow on the ground red.

boom!Boom!

Projectiles hit the tree trunk one by one, and the sawdust was scattered everywhere.

A Cossack raised his gun and wanted to fight back, but just as he appeared, he was sieved by the fire call.

Zhao Hu quickly loaded the musket, pulling the trigger continuously at three points and one line.

Although he is a veteran, his marksmanship is quite accurate.

As long as someone shows up, he raises his hand and shoots.

Almost never fails!

The Ming army ambushed in all directions got up from the ground and began to move towards the place where the Cossacks were hiding with their guns in hand.

As they moved forward, they formed a search array, coordinated with each other, and were ready to cover each other and reinforce each other at any time.

These scouts are the elite of the elite of the Ming army, and it is naturally not a problem to deal with some Cossacks.

As the Ming army got closer and closer to the place where the Cossacks were hiding, some Ming soldiers took out grenades from their arms.

Pull the string, throw, and move in one go!
Amidst the rumbling explosion, a puff of smoke rose from behind the boulders and trees.

In the next moment, the soldiers of the Ming army charged forward!
"Kill!"
