scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 350
"Why didn't I expect to form an alliance with the old thief Wu Sangui and jointly encircle and suppress the dog thief Lu Yifeng? In this way, wouldn't I be able to explain to the ancestors of the empress dowager, and also cut the dog thief Lu Yifeng into pieces? Ten thousand pieces of corpse?!"

Patting the Pseudo-Dragon Case and roaring these words, Kang Mazi was so excited that every pockmark on his face glowed, and what shot out from his burnt-yellow eyes was all the light of excitement and carnival, and he was so excited that he almost raised his arms. call.But after thinking about it, Kang Mazi made another case about the false dragon, and roared in great disappointment: "It's all fucking nonsense! Lu Yifeng's dog thief and Wu Sangui's old thief haven't publicly fallen out yet, and he's the grandson-in-law of Wu Sangui's old thief again. How could the old thief Wu Sangui form an alliance with me to encircle Lu Yifeng's dog thief?"

"Master, please don't worry." Zhou Peigong replied with a smile, calmly, "according to my slave's opinion, if the master proposes to openly form an alliance with old thief Wu Sangui and join hands to kill the dog thief Lu Yifeng, then old thief Wu Sangui will, out of various considerations, Maybe he will reject the master's proposal outright. But if the master proposes a secret alliance, the old thief Wu Sangui will have to agree."

"What kind of secret alliance? Let's talk about it." Kang Mazi once again had a glimmer of hope.

"Thank you master." Zhou Peigong kowtowed his head to thank him, stood up together with Tu Hai, and said respectfully: "Master, please listen to this servant in detail. As the master said, the dog thief Lu Yifeng and the old thief Wu Sangui have not yet Torn skins, and there is a little so-called kinship, it is very difficult for them to turn their faces immediately. Therefore, the slaves believe that the old thief Wu Sangui must have made two preparations now, one is to take back Jiangnan and the Jiangnan thief army by normal means Second, if Lu Yifeng's dog thief refuses to obey the order and joins his troops to cause chaos, then Wu Sangui's old thief will definitely attack with an iron fist and crush Lu Yifeng's dog thief into powder!"

"In view of this, the slave suggests that the master should proceed in three steps." Zhou Peigong held up three fingers and said with a smile: "The first step, please adopt the old ancestor's strategy, negotiate a truce with the old thief Wu Sangui, draw the river as a boundary, The old thief Wu Sangui had a showdown, pointing out that he had already made a plan to solve the Jiangnan problem by force, and asked him to form an alliance with his master to deal with the dog thief Lu Yifeng. Land in the south of the Yangtze River. In the future, once the two thieves break their faces and fight, the old thief Wu Sangui must allow my Qing army to cross the river to attack the dog thief Lu Yifeng, avenge the millions of soldiers of the Eight Banners in the Qing Dynasty, and vent my heart for the master. hatred."

Kang Mazi rolled his eyes numbly, and nodded for a while before saying: "This strategy is feasible. This move is beneficial and harmless to the old thief Wu Sangui. He should not refuse. At the same time, my Qing Dynasty can also obtain food, grass, military pay, and new firearms during the war. It's also beneficial and harmless, doable! Go on."

"The second step is very simple, that is to faithfully fulfill the peace agreement between the ancestors and the old thief Wu Sangui, and withdraw the Qing troops in southern Anhui, northern Jiangxi, and Zhejiang to the north of the Yangtze River, and let the old thief Wu Sangui and Lu Yifeng dog In the south of the Yangtze River, thieves bite dogs and kill each other." Zhou Peigong's smile became even more ferocious.

"As for the third step, it is naturally how to cut off the dog's head of Lu Yifeng's dog thief." Zhou Peigong said with a smile: "Withdraw the Qing army from the south of the Yangtze River to the north of the Yangtze River, and the master will immediately have another 10,000 troops in his hands." + With the elites of the Qing Dynasty, and the food, military pay, and a large amount of supplies they brought, not only will the master's ability to actually participate in the Jiangnan battlefield not be weakened in the slightest, on the contrary, it may also be greatly increased because of the joint efforts."

"At that time, my Qing Dynasty will be the first to attack the dog thief Lu Yifeng first; or sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, waiting for the dog thief Lu Yifeng and the old thief Wu Sangui to lose both, and then the master will pick peaches; Lu Yifeng's dog thief was defeated and fled to the north of the Yangtze River, and the master's decision to deal him a fatal blow can be decided by the master! And Lu Yifeng's dog thief was attacked on three sides, the team was torn apart, and the army was defeated and died, and it will be just around the corner."

"Once the thief Lu Yifeng dies, the master can rest easy." Tu Hai boldly interrupted and said, "There have been rumors in the Shaanxi-Gansu battlefield that the old thief Wu Sangui is seriously ill and his time is running out. The master will use this old thief first. Get rid of Lu Yifeng's dog thief, and wait for this old thief to die of illness, who else in the world can be the master's opponent?"

With a solemn expression on his face, Kang Mazi walked slowly into the hall full of tea bowls, cups and memorials, and walked in circles in the Hall of Mental Cultivation with his hands behind his back, walking faster and faster.Tu Hai and Zhou Peigong knew that this was Kang Mazi's habit when he was nervously calculating, and they all bowed their heads, not even daring to take a breath, for fear of interrupting Kang Mazi's train of thought and causing unreasonable disasters.

Just like this, there was a small stick of incense time, when Kang Mazi suddenly stood beside the pseudo-dragon case, bowed his head and thought for a while, then suddenly grabbed the only remaining jade pen holder on the pseudo-dragon case, and slammed it hard on the ground It was smashed to pieces, and then hoarsely roared: "Just do it! I will send the imperial envoy to Xi'an tomorrow to negotiate a truce with the old thief Wu Sangui, and temporarily draw the river as a boundary with this old thief!"

"Master Shengming." Both Tuhai and Zhou Peigong heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed together.

Looking at each other quietly again, Zhou Peigong and Tu Hai couldn't help showing wicked smiles, because they both knew that Zhou Peigong's plan to destroy Fatty Lu in three steps was actually a pile of dog excrement!Leaving aside the fact that the real action to weaken and annihilate the Fatty Army has to rely on the old traitor Wu, whether the old traitor Wu can agree to join forces with the murderer and enemy to beat the grandson and son-in-law is still a matter of opinion-but well, as long as Kang Mazi gives up the idiotic idea of ​​the imperial conquest , decided to give up all the land south of the Yangtze River, and changed the stupid strategy of all-out campaign, the Qing court had hope of lingering.And that goddamn Fatty Lu, there will be countless troubles and dangers.

"When Lu Yifeng's dog thief and Wu Sangui's old thief are both defeated, I will fight with you!" Kang Mazi suddenly said this again, and said viciously: "I will fight for the millions of Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty with my own hands!" To avenge, to avenge my Qing court with my own hands! To cut Lu Yifeng's thief into five horses with my own hands, and cut him into pieces!"

"Master..." Tu Hai was taken aback, and when he was about to speak, his sleeves tightened. When he turned his head and saw Zhou Peigong winking at him, Tu Hai suddenly came to his senses—as long as he passes this level, the rest will be easy Now, it doesn't really matter whether Kang Mazi insists on the imperial conquest.

"Master Shengming." Holding back Tuhai, Zhou Peigong kowtowed again and said, "At that time, the servant will definitely accompany you with the order to advise the master, charge into the battle, crush Lu Yifeng's dog thief into powder, and avenge the millions of soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. avenge!"

"Well said." Kang Mazi applauded and said with a smile, "I called you back to the capital from Tongguan just to let you..."

"Boom!" The sudden thunderous sound was extremely loud in the dead of night, interrupting Kang Mazi's complacency, and also made Zhou Peigong and Tu Hai's faces change color - because they clearly heard the thunderous sound , it is clearly the unique loud noise produced when the Miyoshi grenade exploded!
........................

Time turned back again, and the location returned to the west side of Longhua Temple, in the study room of the mansion of Nalan Mingzhu, an important official of Mite Qing Dynasty.

Hearing Hong Xiguan's reply that the fat man who served as the magistrate of Qujing County in the sixth year of Kangxi paid a lot of money to ask him to do something that saved countless lives, Mingzhu couldn't help being very curious, and quickly asked: "Then your master, What exactly do you want me to do for him? Can you save countless lives?"

"It's very simple, Lord Zhongtang, please make a statement in front of the Qing emperor." Hong Xiguan took out another letter from his pocket and said with a smile: "Please give up the strategy of the Qing emperor to attack in an all-round way, and change to attack." For the sake of protection, don't go to trouble with the villain master for the time being, and don't let the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty and our team die in vain. This is a personal letter from the villain master to Lord Zhongtang, please read it."

"Your master, do you want the emperor to change the strategy of the all-out attack?" Mingzhu was taken aback, and hurriedly asked her confidant to come over to take the letter, while thinking secretly in her heart: "The ancestor of the empress dowager, there are many front-line generals, obviously It is said that the master changed the overall strategy of attacking and suppressing, and he could drive Lu Yifeng's dog thief to the edge of the cliff? Why does Lu Yifeng's dog thief, on the contrary, hope that the emperor will change this counter-rebellion strategy? Could it be that there is some mystery in this?"

Opened the letter brought by Hong Xiguan, and saw that the calligraphy on it was crooked, and it really seemed to be written by Lu Fatty, a not-so-talented scholar. Master of the Yingdian University, Minister of the Ministry of War Ming Zhongtang, in the old capital, the humble position was supported by Master Zhongtang, and he was always grateful. Although it was more than seven years, Zhongtang's voice, smile, and earnest teaching, the humble position still dare not forget a little bit. Today, I sent my confidant to Beijing to offer a small gift, and Master Wanwang Zhongtang accepted it with honor. '

After writing this, Fatty Lu, who really doesn't have much literary talent in his stomach, simply used vernacular: "Master Zhongtang, the current situation of Kangxi Xiaoer and the Qing Dynasty court, I think you are more clear than the humble official, and you are already a grasshopper after autumn." , can't reach for a few days.Mr. Zhongtang, you are the Yehenara family. Your ancestors had a sworn feud with the Aixinjueluo family. Are you so willing to be buried with Kangxi's children?I don’t want to talk nonsense, as long as Master Zhongtang comes over and helps Beizhi and Dazhou to overthrow the brutal rule of Kangxi’s children, and kill Aixinjueluo’s family, then after Dazhou is established, you will not only continue to be us Great Zhou's scholar and Minister of the Ministry of War, and possibly the Jurchen King of the Northeast! '

"Of course, I also know that you are in the capital, Ming Zhongtang, and your every move is watched by thousands of people, and you are monitored by Kangxi children's eyeliner, so I will not make things difficult for Master Zhongtang, as long as Master Zhongtang persuades Kangxi children to change the plan of comprehensive campaign The strategy of rebellion, change from offense to defense and retreat temporarily, buy a little more time for the humble position, then the humble position will not only give ten times the gift again, but also remember the favor of Master Zhongtang, and wait until my Dazhou army marches northward to attack directly At the time of Huanglong, Master Zhongtang, you were still the hero of our Great Zhou! '

'Finally, Master Zhongtang, please rest assured that Lord Zhongtang will not be alone in persuading Kangxi Xiaoer to change from attacking to defending. To help Mr. Zhongtang openly and secretly, to help you speak, and finally to add your word to Mr. Zhongtang, it is easy to accomplish this matter.Sincerely, Lu Yifeng, the former county magistrate of Qujing. '

While refolding Fatty Lu's letter and putting it back into the envelope, Mingzhu was thinking nervously, until after a long time, Mingzhu asked Hong Xiguan: "Your master said that he needs to buy some more time? Why? "

"There are many reasons." Hong Xiguan replied frankly: "The main reasons are: one is that my master is expanding his army and training troops; If you are involved with Geng Jingzhong, this worry must be relieved."

"This rebel is not telling lies." Mingzhu nodded secretly, knowing that what Hong Xiguan said was basically true. The Qing court had indeed received the news of the large-scale expansion of the Fat Army, and at the same time, the Fat Army had indeed started fighting in the Hangzhou area. Geng Jingzhong's fire merger was also confirmed by the report of the generals of the Qing army in Zhejiang.The only problem is that Fatty's army consumes a lot of firearms, because the Qing army's spies couldn't find out the specific situation. After all the roads invaded, the consumption of firearms of the Fatty Army would not have been huge.

After a little calculation, Mingzhu stared at Hong Xiguan and asked: "Then this officer is a little strange, your master, why do you think that this officer will definitely agree to his request?"

"It's very simple." Hong Xiguan replied truthfully: "The villain's master said, Ming Zhongtang, you are a smart person, and you are Yehenala, not our Great Zhou's mortal enemy, so naturally you will not be willing to be buried with Kangxi's children. Besides, the villain's master also knows that it was because of your suggestion last year, Mr. Zhongtang, that Kangxi children decided to adopt a strategy of recruiting us. For this reason, our Dazhou army won the most precious time in the south of the Yangtze River. You, Mr. Zhongtang, also ate it A lot of people died, and they lost a lot of favor, so the master of the villain, this is how to appease and repay you, Lord Zhongtang."

"Your master is very aware of the situation in Ben Zhongtang." Mingzhu snorted coldly.

"Of course." Hong Xiguan nodded, and said with a smile: "Actually, Master Zhongtang should be most grateful to your former official minister, Huang Ji Huang, who leaked these situations to the villainous master. Also, Huang Ji Your lord also told my master that Suo'etu, Lord Zhongtang's nemesis, had already proposed to take your head off in front of Kangxi's son. Beware of Master Zhongtang, you, a Manchurian with the surname of Yehenara, should cooperate with our Great Zhou army and sell out the country and land of the Aixinjueluo family and the Hesheli family."

"Dog thief!" Mingzhu cursed inwardly again, cursing Huang Ji, and of course Suo'etu - Suo'etu suggested that Kang Mazi cut off his own head, but he kept him ignorant.

"Master Zhongtang, don't talk too much about the grassroots, and you have basically understood the situation." Hong Xiguan persuaded again: "Master Zhongtang should be very clear that what the villainous master begged you to do is actually just to you, Master Zhongtang. It can be done easily with little effort. Since it is so easy to do, why can't you be a smooth favor, Mr. Zhongtang, without taking any risks, and sell us a huge favor? That day will really come in the future, Mr. Zhongtang Wouldn't the whole family, family and life be as stable as Mount Tai?"

Not to mention, Mingzhu is really tempted. As the secretary of the military department of the Qing court and a scholar of the cabinet, no one in the world knows the current embarrassment of the Qing court better than Mingzhu. People, Mingzhu naturally imagined that the Qing army was defeated like a mountain, and when the Wu army or the fat man army entered Beijing, they could faithfully implement the four killings and two amnesties that had been announced, spare his entire family's life and wealth, and sell a Naturally, Mingzhu subconsciously wants to agree to Fatty Lu's favor.

Be tempted to be tempted, but Mingzhu is very clear about one thing, that is, since the announcement of Fatty Lu's four-kill and two-pardon order, Kang Mazi and Suo'etu have become wary of themselves, and they have received Fatty Lu late at night. I'm afraid it's hard to escape their eyes about the secret envoy.Besides, before I...

"Boom--!"

The sudden violent explosion shocked everyone in Mingzhu's study. Before Mingzhu and his confidantes could react, Hong Xiguan, who was sitting far away from Mingzhu just now, seemed to be loaded with springs. He jumped up and rushed towards Mingzhu with lightning speed. When several of his followers screamed and stepped forward to stop him, they were kicked away by Hong Xiguan with three punches and two legs, and he even snatched away a Mingzhu follower. He put the knife on Mingzhu's neck, and shouted: "Don't move! Otherwise, your master will die!"

"Master!" All the followers screamed, but seeing the gleaming steel knife resting on Mingzhu's neck, they didn't dare to approach her.

"Strong man, what are you doing?" Mingzhu was also frightened, she never thought that the cross-eyed person in front of her would be so skilled, and beat the four best relatives in her mansion to the ground with three or two blows.

"Lord Zhongtang, stop pretending." Hong Xiguan said with a sneer, "Do you think I have not made some preparations and precautions? My companions are lying in ambush on the roof outside. Whenever they see something wrong, they will immediately throw a grenade and call the police! "

"Oops, why didn't I think of sending someone to search the roof?" Ming Zhu secretly groaned. Just now, Ming Zhu was also on guard against Officer Hong Xi and his companions, and sent people to search the surrounding streets and alleys, but she didn't expect that Officer Hong Xi's companions would hide On the roof of the house in the dark, avoiding his search.

"Tell me, what happened outside?" Hong Xiguan held Mingzhu's hands with one hand, and put the knife on Mingzhu's neck with the other and shouted angrily.

"If I say that I don't know what happened outside, can the strong man believe it?" Mingzhu replied with a wry smile.

"Fart!" Hong Xiguan said angrily: "If there is no accident outside, how could my people throw grenades and call the police? Listen, there are still people outside shouting to kill!"

"I really don't know." Mingzhu smiled bitterly, and said in a low voice: "If I guessed correctly, it should be the eyeliner planted by the emperor in my house who discovered that I had a secret interview with you and reported a letter to the Thirteen Yamen. The Sanyamen sent people here to eavesdrop on our secret conversation, or to arrest you, and was discovered by your companion, the strong man?"

"Emperor Mangou planted eyeliner in your house?" Hong Xiguan couldn't believe his ears, and said angrily: "Who the hell are you kidding? Emperor Mangou planted eyeliner in your house, you know you still haven't caught it?"

"Why do I want to find out?" Mingzhu asked Hong Xiguan in a low voice with some surprise: "Didn't that cunning Lu Yifeng tell you that people like us, even if they know about the eyeliner sent by their immediate superiors?" Do you want to pretend you don't know? Otherwise, there will be a catastrophe immediately?"

"Our general has as many goofs as you guys?" Hong Xiguan was even more furious, "Our general is magnanimous and selfless, with a noble character, will he be with you guys?"

"Lu Yifeng is magnanimous and selfless? He has a noble character?" Mingzhu almost couldn't laugh out loud, thinking that Fatty Lu is a hundred times more cunning than me, okay?But for the sake of her own life, Mingzhu still said honestly: "Strong man, believe it or not, it's up to you, the accident outside was not on purpose. To be honest, I planned to arrest you, but I never thought of arresting you by force—— If you don’t believe me, you can take a look at the cup of tea in front of you. There is sweat medicine in it, but you didn’t take a sip, so you don’t know my way. Please think about it, strong man, since I have already made such an arrangement, why bother to come here again? Scaring the snake outside?"

"Fuck you!" Hong Xiguan almost lost his temper, kicked Mingzhu fiercely, and cursed angrily, "You guys are full of dogs, you really don't have a single good thing!"

While speaking, all the servants and slaves in Mingzhu's mansion rushed to the door of the study, surrounded Mingzhu's study, and yelled to force Hong Xiguan to hand over Mingzhu.Zhang Feiyu, the housekeeper of Mingzhu Mansion, also ordered the servant to surround the study, and at the same time shouted to a servant who was running out of breath, "What are you doing? I want you to lead someone to lie in ambush outside the door, and prepare to catch that How did the secret envoy of the rebels alarm the companions of the rebels?"

"No, no." The servant yelled in a low voice with a mournful face, "Boss, you have wronged the servant, and the servant led the people two streets away from here, and the firearms of the rebels exploded on the street of Longhua Temple , not the anti-thief companion we alarmed!"

"Who is that?" Zhang Feiyu froze, "Could it be that a passer-by accidentally alarmed the rebel's companion? The rebel's companion got nervous and falsely reported the warning?"

"Go away, if anyone dares to approach, I will kill Mingzhu Xiaoer—!"

At this time, Hong Xiguan was already carrying Mingzhu to the door of the study. Although it was said that the servants and slaves of Zhufu were afraid that Hong Xiguan would hurt their master, they all retreated as ordered, but when they saw the shining knives and guns all over the yard, they heard With the sound of yelling and shouting outside the courtyard, Hong Xiguan still knew in his heart that this time, it might be very difficult for him to get out of Beijing city alive.

"General, Officer Hong Xi is incompetent and unlucky. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to go back to protect you. I only hope that you can see that Officer Hong Xi has risked life and death for you, keep your promise, send troops to rescue General Liu Guoxuan, and help the suzerain of our Tiandihui." , Kill and disperse the Manchu and traitor army that attacked Hangzhou."
