scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 161
Ever since the scourge of Fatty Lu came to the front line, the days of peace and depression for the army generals and soldiers on the front line of the battlefield have come to an end. Not only will you not feel bored because of the boring life, and there is nowhere to vent the pressure on the battlefield. On the contrary, life is colorful and interesting every day!And it was none other than us who brought them all this. It was we who produced the famous, talented, and well-known——Lu Yifeng, Lu Sanhao, and Master Lu.

Of course, there is a reason for saying this. Every day during the day, whenever the construction of the siege is in full swing, the propaganda team that Fatty Lu carefully selected and formed by himself always ran to the vicinity with great concern, knocking on the fortification again. The gongs were beating drums again and shouted in unison, "Brothers of the Eight Banners, brothers of the Green Camp, don't waste your energy, the old thief Oboi doesn't want to fight at all, let's not kill each other, and don't waste our energy , sit back and enjoy."

"Oboi old thief doesn't want to fight at all, rest, don't waste your energy—! Rest—!"

Although the propaganda team organized by Fatty Lu is not large, there are only three or fifty people in total, but all of them are full of energy and have a loud voice, and they have unified their caliber after training. Most of the Qing army soldiers in the siege fortifications could hear it, and they could basically hear it clearly.Not to mention, after shouting this slogan, these propaganda teams will take out some small packets of Eight Banners drug ointment wrapped in straw paper, sprinkle them everywhere, and then shout again in order:

"Brothers, this is the Eight Banners health ointment that our prince gave you. You don't need money for it, and whoever picks it will get it! Don't worry, our prince loves the people like a son, and will not poison you!"

Then, these propaganda teams naturally broke up in a rush, fled back to Yuping Pass to rest, and waited for the opportunity to dispatch again.Since the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty discovered that these people were indeed spraying the Eight Banners drug ointments that only the generals and officials of the Qing Dynasty could enjoy, and found that these Eight Banners drug ointments were not poisonous, whenever these propaganda teams finished spraying the Eight Banners drug ointments, they built The mite Qing soldiers in the fortifications would immediately throw away the hoes, dustpans, and shoulder poles in their hands, and rush forward to loot them like a tide. After fighting each other, drawing swords, and forging enmity, the military discipline in Yue Le's barracks naturally deteriorated rapidly, and internal strife of picking quarrels and provoking troubles and seeking personal revenge emerged endlessly, and morale was also greatly depressed.

The Wu Army Propaganda Team harassed them three times a day. After a few days, Yue Le began to realize that something was wrong. In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, Yue Le had to send his Chinese Army Guard Commander to personally lead the military law team to the front line to stop the soldiers looting Wu Jun's propaganda team. Baqi Fushou Ointment.But what made Yue Le vomit blood was that after this military law team composed of banner people went to the front line, they took the lead in looting the Eight Banners medicines, and for whoever robbed more and who less, the internal strife was even more serious than that of the Han soldiers—— There is no way, the first to be poisoned by the Eight Banners drug ointment, but these banners are full of people, and the taste of opium addiction is beyond Yue Le's imagination?

In a fit of rage, Yue Le beheaded four or five of the most troublesome soldiers in one breath, and then arranged [-] cavalry to wait on the front line, specially sniping and killing Wu Jun's propaganda team, but at this moment, Wu Sangui's subordinates were best at cavalry Gao Dejie, who was in the battle, also started to fight. Before Wu Jun's propaganda team escaped to Yuping Pass, Gao Hongchen, Gao Dejie's deputy, had already rushed out of the pass with [-] cavalry, and started the most orthodox cavalry battle with Yue Le's cavalry.

It was also at this moment that the Gaode Jie army, which had been suppressing the chieftain army almost every year, also showed its overwhelming advantage over the degenerate Eight Banners cavalry. Yu Ji's Eight Banners cavalry galloped freely, invincible, as if entering the land of no one, and soon killed the Eight Banners cavalry who had already been buffed by the rich life, and ran away, leaving more than 100 corpses in embarrassment. Go, but Gao Hongchen and others didn't pursue, they laughed and mocked before the battle and then walked away.

The above is just the wonderful life of the Qing soldiers during the day. At night, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty soon discovered a more exciting program, that is, the wonderful leaflets brought by Wu Jun's Kongming Lanterns - of course, If Fatty Lu is still the same old way and only prints fake secret edicts on the leaflets, then most of the Qing soldiers who are generally poorly educated must not understand and are not interested, so since the first large-scale dissemination of fake secret edicts, Fatty Lu has changed. With a strategy, it was printed on the flyer-erotica!

If anyone is the most proficient in this area in this era, then this person is definitely Lu Sanhao, the fat man who has visited countless island countries. Soon, I saw sex movements that I had never seen or heard before, such as K sex, G sex, **, four P, two men and one woman, up and down, back and forth, three guns... all kinds of things, and the men and women have handsome faces and postures. Vivid, with great artistic value and collection value.

Such a good thing, although in addition to the erotic palace, there are also printed rebellious words that are unfavorable to the Great Master Oboi of the Qing Dynasty, or some words that can shake the morale of the army, but it has become a sought-after item among the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. , scrambling to collect and exchange, exchange what is needed, although Yue Le strictly prohibits it, and even sends a military law team to collect it every day, but the effect is very dangerous. Even the mosquitoes in the military camp are males, and after serving in the army for only three days, the sow becomes a fairy!
Wu Sangui's army's methods of attacking the mind are so low, with so many tricks. Seeing that the military discipline and morale are getting weaker day by day, Yue Le gradually becomes unbearable, and has no choice but to ask for help from Oboi, who is in the top position, explaining the situation and asking for advice on countermeasures , but on the day when Ao Bai arrived at the front line of Huangzhou again, something happened that made Ao Bai and Yue Le stunned together!
"My lord, Grand Master, it's not good! It's not good!" Obai had just sat down, and before he could speak to Yue Le, Mang Yitu, Yue Le's Chinese army guard, stumbled into the Chinese army's tent, carrying Weeping and shouting: "Something has happened! Many brothers, I don't know why, suddenly rolled all over the ground and convulsed, and there are more brothers who are dizzy, vomiting, vomiting, and now the barracks are in chaos. Go out and see Look!"

"What?!" Ao Bai and Yue Le changed their faces together, and rushed out of the Chinese army camp. When they came to the scene in a hurry under the guidance of Mang Yitu, they saw an open space bigger than two football fields. , there were moaning and painful mite soldiers all over the place, foaming at the mouth twitching their limbs, rolling all over the floor, throwing up and down and screaming loudly, while the pitifully small number of military doctors were running back and forth among the pile of patients sweating profusely , Rescue the wounded everywhere, overwhelmed by one thing and another, but there are still sick soldiers pouring in from all directions with the support of their companions.

"What's going on?" Seeing this scene, Oboi and Yue Le inevitably turned pale. Yue Le made a decisive decision, and quickly sent a military doctor, grabbed his collar and shouted: "What happened?" What happened? Why did so many people fall ill all of a sudden? What kind of disease is it?”

"My lord, it's poisoning, it's poisoning." The military doctor cried out in tears: "Some are poisoned by the horse money, some are poisoned by croton, and there are aconitum and oleander! Anyway, Yunnan and Guizhou only need to find You can see all the poisons you got here! More brothers were poisoned by several kinds of poisons at the same time, and they couldn’t be saved at all!”

"Poisoned?!" Yue Le's face was full of disbelief, and he yelled, "How is it possible? How could so many people be poisoned at the same time? Where did the poison come from?!"

"I know." Oboi said suddenly, first pointing to the bright sun in the sky, then pointing to the Zhenyang River in the north, and said in a deep voice: "This year's weather is hot, and the rainfall is generally relatively scarce. It is by taking advantage of this that the poison was poured into the Zhenyang River near Yuping Pass upstream, and the poisonous water flowed down and was drunk by our soldiers, resulting in the current situation!"

"Gao Dejie, I'll fuck your mother's [-]th generation ancestor! You can use such a shameless trick?" Yue Le couldn't bear to curse - but what Yue Le obviously didn't know was that he was actually wronged Gao Dejie, although Gao Dejie likes to cheat when using troops, he really can't figure out such a dirty trick as poisoning the water source.

"What's the use of scolding? Soldiers never tire of deceit. If you miss the enemy's plan on the battlefield, you can only blame yourself for being stupid, not the enemy for being too cunning." Unexpectedly, Oboi did not attack, but calmly ordered: "Hurry up and pass on the order, from now on At the beginning, no one in the army was allowed to drink the river water. Also, organize the soldiers who have not been poisoned to defend themselves, and the enemy will soon take the opportunity to attack."

Yue Le took the order and left in a hurry, and Oboi turned to Hadaha, the commander of his central guard, and ordered sharply: "Hurry up, hurry up and contact the Yuanzhou camp, and let the king of Shuncheng County, Leerjin, quickly mobilize [-] The army goes south to meet and change defense with Yue Le's army!"

"Boom!" Hadaha hadn't heard the promise, when a huge cannon shot suddenly came from the direction of Yuping Pass in the distance, Oboi's face changed, knowing that Wu Jun found out that the poisoning plan had succeeded, and had already seized the opportunity to launch a general attack.Obai didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly ordered again: "Hurry up, escort Benxiang to a high place, and Zhenxiang will take the opportunity to see how powerful Wu Sangui's army is now!"

Obai's personal troops obeyed the order, and quickly surrounded Obai to the highest point of the camp. When Obai raised his binoculars to observe again, he saw that Gao Dejie had personally led about [-] elite Wu army cavalry to rush out of the pass. The wall was coming towards the Qing army camp. Although all the cavalry charged with all their strength, the team was not chaotic at all. Yue Le was desperately driving the soldiers away from the fortifications in front to organize defenses. The Wu Jun cavalry who came but came in a neat line formed a sharp contrast.

Seeing this, Oboi's heart suddenly sank, and he thought to himself: "This battle is lost. I never imagined that the Qing army had already degenerated to this point only ten years after the end of the large-scale war. The old thief Wu Sangui , the army has been fighting against local chieftains every year, not only has it not deteriorated at all, but it has also improved."

The situation of the battle was predicted by Oboi. The Qing army with low morale and slack military discipline was completely defeated in front of Gao Dejie's hundred-fighter division. In the army camp, most of the soldiers of the Qing army were scrambling to flee, only a few troops stepped forward to stop them, but they were also in a mess and out of formation. They were also defeated in front of the Wu army's cavalry, and let the Wu army's cavalry run freely in the camp. Charge and kill, like entering no man's land.

"Oh my god, it's coming! It's coming!" "Run!" "Run! Run!" "Help, help!" Hearing the wailing and despairing cries of the Qing army soldiers in his ears, he looked at the Qing army soldiers Fleeing and fleeing without fighting spirit in front of the cavalry of the Wu army, Oboi's thick eyebrows were almost wrinkled together—although Yue Le's army is not a first-class army in the Qing army, it is not as good as Oboi's direct control The elite and Mu Zhan, Laita and other teams are in the battle, but they are also the main fighters with the majority of the Qing army.As a result, such an army behaved like this in the cavalry of the Wu army. The prospect of this decisive battle is really worrying.

"No, we can't completely blame Yue Le's army for being incompetent." Obai quickly comforted himself in his heart: "Gao Dejie barbarian is under the command of the old thief Wu Sangui. Although he is not the highest-ranking general, he is definitely the most useful general. Going into Burma and pacifying Yunnan and Guizhou chieftains, almost every time Gao Dejie fought the vanguard. At the same time, judging from the fact that Gao Dejie's barbarian army is all cavalry, this army is definitely the elite of Wu Sangui's old bandits, Yue Le Losing to him is not wrong."

"Besides, there are several other factors that restrict the performance of Yue Le's army. The first is that the scheming tricks of the barbarians who were so tall a few days ago have greatly shaken Yue Le's army's morale and dissipated this team. The morale of the army, now Yue Le's army is attacked by poisonous water again, countless soldiers and generals are poisoned and lose their combat effectiveness, their morale and psychology have weakened to the lowest point, even if the old man leads this army himself, he may not be able to do better than Yue Le Good. This battle is not worth referring to at all!"

Thinking up to this point, Oboi put down his binoculars resolutely—since this time the Wu army's surprise battle could not provide a reference, and he could not judge the comparison of the fighting strength between the Qing army and the Wu army, naturally there was no need for Oboi to continue watching.But after thinking about it, Oboi suddenly came up with another thought, "Today's ingeniously timed surprise attack, as well as the idea of ​​poisoning the river and the tricks of dispersing the army a few days ago, what is it? Who figured it out? Was it the tall Jay Barbarian himself, or someone else?"

"If it's someone else, then this person is terrible. This strategy not only makes use of the psychology of our army, but also makes use of the climate, terrain and rivers. If you are a man of literature, you will become an adviser against Wu, and if you are a soldier, you will become a general!"

Thinking of this, Oboi waved to his confidant Hadaha again, Hadaha understood, and quickly put his ear to Oboi's mouth, and Oboi ordered in a low voice, "You bring a few good men over there yourself, no matter what means you use, you will be fine." If you want to capture an enemy alive for me, preferably someone with some official position, I will torture the confession!"

Hadaha nodded, and hurriedly led ten of his best soldiers to rush down the mound and into the battlefield. At this time, Gao Dejie's cavalry had almost rushed to the front of Yue Le's central army tent. He vomited blood out of joy, and was almost in tears in anxiety. He hurriedly led the troops back to the camp, who were barely in formation, and ordered the Chinese army guard Mang Yitu to stick to the big tent. Don't let it go - if the Chinese army's tent is really broken by the high-ranking Jie army, Yue Le really doesn't have the face to lead the Qing army's vanguard.

Fortunately, the fighting power of Yue Le's army is still quite tenacious. They used the fence to block the Wu army's raid on the cavalry. He is also an old slicker on the battlefield, knowing that once the time is prolonged and the Qing army adjusts from the chaos, his own strength will suffer a big loss, so he resolutely gave up the assault on the big tent and led the army to rush towards the most chaotic left wing of the Qing army. , From this position, he broke out of the Qing army's camp again, laughing wildly and returning to Yuping Pass, where the cheers were thunderous.

This assault by Gao Dejie took less than two hours before and after, but it brought an unusually heavy blow to the Yue Yue Department of the Qing Army. It was in the rebellious army that they were killed by their own rebellious soldiers. There were countless Qing soldiers who also suffered such a tragic fate. Corpses were strewn around the fortifications in the camp, blood flowed all over the canals, and the total loss of troops exceeded two thousand. The loss of cavalry was less than a hundred.

Losing so miserably and humiliatingly, Yue Le, who had such a high self-esteem, almost wanted to commit suicide. After beheading more than a dozen officers and generals who took the lead in fleeing, Yue Le took off his armor and asked his own soldiers to tie him up. , I went into the big tent of the Chinese army by myself, and came to plead guilty to Oboi who was sitting in the high tent.

"Grand Master, Xiao Wang has come to accuse you." As soon as they met, Yue Le knelt down on his knees with a plop, crying loudly: "Xiao Wang is incompetent in governing the army, losing his master and humiliating the country is an unforgivable crime. Grand Master is today Even if Xiao Wang is beheaded, Xiao Wang will never complain!"

After finishing speaking, Yue Le kowtowed desperately and cried bitterly, Oboi was both angry and funny, walked up to Yue Le from his seat, helped Yue Le himself, and said with a smile: "My lord, what are you doing? Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs , Occasionally a small setback, is it worth doing this? Come here, quickly untie Prince An."

"Xiao Wang is incompetent. He led his troops like this. The barbarian's three thousand cavalry broke through the camp, and almost broke through the Chinese army's tent and cut off the commander's flag." Yue Le cried bitterly: "Xiao Wang failed the Grand Master No matter how the grand master treats Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang dare not complain."

"I've said it all. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. You can't completely blame you for this battle. There are many objective reasons." Oboi's character is to be soft and not hard. Absolutely not to be too small, Aobai appreciates it very much.So Aobai patted Yue Le's shoulder again and comforted him, "Besides, apart from the fact that your command was a bit chaotic at the beginning, your subsequent performance was remarkable. After the barbarian cavalry broke through the line of defense, you didn't chase blindly and didn't collapse. , Only by collecting the defeated soldiers in time and reorganizing them into an army can we have the power to fight in the next battle."

"Also, when the barbarian cavalry attacked the big tent, you were able to lead the army to fight to the death, defend the big tent and the commander's flag, and prevent the morale from collapsing completely. This stabilized the morale of the army and forced the barbarian cavalry with insufficient troops to withdraw voluntarily. It’s not bad to be able to show such a calm performance when you’re here. Okay, okay, don’t cry, put on your clothes quickly, and the truth will be dealt with, but not now, I’ll talk about other things later.”

Anyway, Oboi finally persuaded Yue Le, and asked someone to bring armor for Yue Le to put on again. At this time, Oboi's Chinese army guard Hadaha had already escorted a wounded Wu army sentry commander, and asked Ao Bai reported: "Qi report to Grand Master, according to your request, he was caught alive, and he also agreed to confess."

"Very good." Aobai nodded in satisfaction, pulled Yue Le back to his seat and sat down, and asked Hadaha to escort the Wu army commander to kneel down in front of him, and said with a smile: "Boy, listen carefully, this old man is the Grand Master of the Qing Dynasty Oboi, this old man is here to seek rebellion and pacify Yungui. The only person he wants to kill is the old thief Wu Sangui alone. No matter whether you are bewitched by him or threatened by him to rebel with him, as long as you return from the wrong way, the old man will not Will kill you. And as long as you tell the truth, not only will this old man not kill you, but he will reward you heavily, do you understand?"

"Understood." The commander of the Wu army obviously had no backbone, and was obviously frightened by the torture of Hadaha and others. The general's front battalion sentry officer, as long as the grand master doesn't kill the little one, he can say whatever the little one asks."

"Very smart, I like smart people like you the most." Obai nodded in satisfaction, and asked, "I ask you, your Yunnan-Guizhou army has not been equipped with many new firearms in the past two years? Why haven't you used them yet? Are you still using the old arquebus?"

"A new type of firearm? What new type of firearm did the grand master ask?" The Wu army post commander showed some confusion on his face.

"It's the Sanhao Rockets and Sanhao Cannons that you spread so well? What, you haven't heard of them?" Obai asked suspiciously.

"Oh, those things." The Wu army post came back to his senses, and quickly replied: "I have heard of it, but these things are equipped by the Shenji Battalion directly under the prince, and our left-wing army does not have them. Oh, yes , I have heard that General Gao seems to have some in his hand, but why he doesn’t use them, I don’t know.”

"What is Wu Sangui old thief doing?" Oboi was startled, and secretly said: "He spent so much money to build new firearms, why didn't he allow the army to use them? Is it because these new firearms are too bad, and Wu Sangui old thief deliberately concealed them? Or These new firearms are too powerful, the old thief Wu Sangui deliberately didn't let Gao Dejie barbarians use them first, and wanted to wait until the decisive battle, and then give the old man a surprise?!"

"Fart!" Yue Le jumped up, grabbed Wu Jun by the collar, lifted it up and shouted: "Is there anyone in the world who has firearms in the army and doesn't let the army use them? Are you trying to deceive the Grand Master? What is the reason?"

"The little ones don't dare, the young ones don't dare." Wu Jun pleaded, "General Mingjian, I really don't know the reason for the young ones, maybe it's because General Gao likes cavalry warfare and doesn't like firearms."

"Will you say it?" Yue Le raised his fist.Aobai shouted in time: "Prince An, there is no need to do this, the old man has probably guessed the reason, he really doesn't know, there is no need to force him."

Yue Le had no choice but to put down that Wu Jun, and Obai asked Wu Jun again: "Wu Jun, let me ask you the truth again, today you raided the camp of our Qing army, was it a temporary decision? Or was it pre-arranged?" ? And who decided to poison under the river?"

"Back to Grand Master, it was Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Qujing Mansion, who poisoned the river." Wu Jun replied very happily this time, "The raid on the Qing camp was also arranged by Lu Yifeng in advance by General Gao."

"Lu Yifeng?!" Ao Baiteng stood up, and Yue Le was also taken aback, exclaiming: "How is it possible? Xiao Wang has also seen that fat man named Lu Yifeng, and he still has such abilities?"

"My lord, it's really him." Because Yue Le didn't believe it, Wu Jun hurriedly explained: "When he asked General Gao to collect poison everywhere and prepare to poison him, General Gao thought it was unreliable, so he didn't want to use it. Lord Lu made a bet with Gao Jie, saying that if this trick didn’t work, he would lose five taels of silver to each brother in Yupingguan. If this trick worked, General Gao would have to follow his arrangements to fight in the future. Gao Some of the general's soldiers have a good relationship with me. They all heard it with their own ears, and they said it when they chatted with me. They are absolutely unmistakable! And when they poisoned the river this morning, Lord Lu personally directed it. "

Aobai and Yue Le exchanged glances, and a thought arose in their hearts - we really underestimated this Fatty Lu back then!After a bit of calculation, Oboi asked again: "So, a few days ago you used Kongming lanterns to spread false secret edicts, erotic pictures, and sent people to spread the Eight Banners of life ointment in front of our formation. Could it be that it was also Lu Yifeng's work?" Got an idea?"

"That's right, he did it all." Wu Jun replied with a sad face: "One time when the Kongming lanterns were set off, the younger one also went to help. I saw with my own eyes that it was he who directed and printed those erotic paintings. He was also from Sizhou. It was printed with the artisans found in Zhenyuan."

"Lu Yifeng!" Yue Le stomped his foot heavily, angrily said: "Back then, I really underestimated you!"

"It's not just the prince who underestimated him, the old man underestimated him too." Aobai said slowly: "The old man has a premonition that if this Lu Yifeng can be used by you and me, he will be your arm. If you and I are enemies, we will become our strong enemies! The Qing Dynasty is a disaster!"
