A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1061: Kill the old witch and return! (Please subscribe!)

Hua Shier dealt with the Western countries and, by the way, destroyed the Japanese who were beginning to rise after the Meiji Restoration. Of course, the Qing court was the biggest beneficiary.

The Qing court originally felt that it was a piece of fat meat, surrounded by wolves. However, in less than half a month, the court discovered that those arrogant foreigners had begun to evacuate their citizens. At the same time, warships from various countries that had docked at coastal ports in the name of protecting merchants also set sail one after another.

Suddenly, it seemed as if the Qing Dynasty had no enemies left. Everyone in the government and the country was confused and didn’t want to play anymore.

It has to be said that communications in those days were really backward. In addition, it was still several years before the Qing Dynasty sent its first envoy to John Bull. Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not get a general idea of ​​what was happening in the West until more than a month after the warships of various countries left, when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs heard from a returning Chinese businessman.

At the same time, news came that the warships of the great powers that had left the coast were attacked by a mysterious force just after leaving the Qing waters and were about to return to their respective countries. All the ships sank, and no one from the naval forces on board survived.

When the news reached the palace, the old witch with frail arms and legs started dancing in the Chuxiu Palace, almost peeing herself in excitement:

"God bless our Qing Dynasty, thank you for the protection of our ancestors"

Hua Twelve: Silly old woman, you are crying in the wrong temple. You should thank your ancestors, the master of wild boar skin, for their protection!

The old witch could only laugh for three days before she received urgent news that Wumeng County Magistrate Bao Longxing had started a rebellion.

Bao Longxing: Who? Say it again? I haven't even had breakfast yet, and you're saying I'm rebelling?

The old witch was furious after hearing the news, saying that things had been going so smoothly in the past few years, first they put down the bandits, and now all the foreigners’ homes were exploding and all the warships were sinking. It was God’s will to support the Qing and destroy the foreigners, so how could anyone dare to rebel?
However, the name Bao Longxing sounded familiar to her. Thinking carefully, the old witch had a very good memory. She recalled that last time, Yu Xiulian from Xiongyuan Escort Agency reported that the imperial envoy Yu Rui had been replaced by a cat as the crown prince. She remembered that the local alternate magistrate was named after this.

Later, she sent Tie Beile to Wumeng to investigate the matter. Then Tie Beile reported to the court that the matter of impersonating the imperial envoy was completely false and a frame-up. She also issued an edict to confiscate the Xiongyuan Escort Agency.

When the old witch thought of this, she immediately asked someone to summon Tie Beile into the palace.

That's definitely not possible.

Tie Beile: It’s not easy. You finally remembered me. The grass on my grave is already three feet tall.

After an investigation, the court finally discovered the truth. It was a month and a half later when the old witch got the accurate information. She was furious and issued an imperial decree to order Di Gong, who was temporarily the governor-general of Liangjiang after Pang Qingyun's death, to send troops to quell the rebellion.

In Wumeng County Court, Mo Zai Ti and Li Tai Bai were peeling grapes for Hua Twelve, Mi Tao Jing Jing looked depressed and rolled her eyes at the three of them. A pale-faced white housekeeper came up with a tray.
"Master, the hand-ground coffee you ordered is ready!" The white butler was Dracula.

After being captured by Hua Shier, the original vampire was locked up in the 'Qiankun Imperial Fan'. After Hua Shier conquered the western countries, he took him back to the Wumeng County Government.

Hua Shier wanted to take Dracula in as his butler, but the old vampire would rather die than obey, and even shouted, "God didn't make him surrender, you are dreaming!"

As we all know, Hua Twelve is a good man who doesn't like to force others. Since Dracula doesn't want to, he doesn't intend to force him. He thinks that this vampire is called a Western zombie by Uncle Jiu and others, so since they are all zombies.
After 49 days, Hua Shier successfully trained Dracula into a Taoist guardian.

After being trained through drugs, Dracula, the ancestor of the vampires, was successfully trained into a Taoist soldier. Not only did he retain his sanity, he also had the ability to walk during the day without fear of sunlight. It is estimated that this should be related to the hundreds of highly toxic drugs.

However, although Dracula retained his sanity, he still could not escape the fate of being bound by the rules of magic and became a Taoist guardian.

His Taoist jade token was tied by Hua Twelve to the 'Qiankun Imperial Fan' as a jade pendant. From now on, as long as the jade token is not lost, even if Lao De has lofty ambitions, he will be loyal to Hua Twelve and will not dare to have the slightest rebellious or disloyal heart.

By the way, Hua Shier was too lazy to take action against the warships of various countries that left the coast of the Qing Dynasty, so he let Dracula do it.

Dracula was very efficient at his job, killing people and sinking ships, but for some reason, he kept burping after he came back.

Hua Shier took the hand-ground coffee from Dracula, but before he could drink it, Bao Longxing came in from outside and started complaining:
"Second brother, it was you who initiated the uprising, why are people saying I'm the one who rebelled?"

Hua Shier took a sip of coffee first, then smiled faintly:
"I sent someone out to say that. The reason is simple. If you think about it, rebellion is very dangerous. If you are caught, your entire clan will be slaughtered. If you are in the front, I will be much safer!"

The three women, Christy Chung, Li Bai, and Jing Jing, naturally knew that their men were teasing Bao Longxing, and they couldn't help laughing when they found what he said interesting.

Bao Longxing felt like he was about to break apart, and he was asked to think about it carefully. This was extremely terrifying!

He sighed exaggeratedly:

"I thought my Bao family had been loyal to the Qing Dynasty for generations, and never had second thoughts. I never expected that..."

Before he could finish his words, Bao Youwei rushed in: "Uncle Thirteen, grandma is here to see you!"

Behind Bao Youwei, an old lady with bound feet walked in holding a long package:

"Thirteen, your father heard that you were going to rebel. He said that you had done something that he wanted to do but didn't dare to do when he was young. So he found the imperial sword bestowed upon our family by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Take it. This sword can be used to kill tyrants and treacherous ministers!"

As the old lady spoke, she passed by Bao Longxing, who was holding out his hand to receive the sword, and placed the sword in Hua Twelve's hand:

"Thirteen, you seem to be more handsome again. I agree with you on this!"

Bao Youwei explained awkwardly: "Uncle, my grandma is a little confused and often mistakes people for her!"

Hua Shier first asked the old lady to sit down, then opened the package. Sure enough, he saw a Ming Dynasty imperial sword inside. He held the sword towards Bao Longxing and said teasingly:
"You are loyal to the Qing Dynasty, right? You have never had any second thoughts, right?"

Bao Longxing covered his face and asked the old lady, "Mom, isn't my father a corrupt official? Why is he still thinking of rebelling?"

The old lady looked at Bao Longxing and asked, "Who are you?"

After saying that, he didn't care who he was and said to Hua Twelve:

"Look at the young people nowadays, their brains are not working well. Your father is a corrupt official in the Qing court. What do you call this? This is called being in Cao's camp but having your heart in Han. He is destroying the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and all he wants is to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty."

Hua Twelve laughed and gave a thumbs up:
"Makes sense!"

Who said the old lady is confused? Madam Bao is no simple lady!

A few days later, Leopard Head came in a hurry to report:

"Sir, I have received news that the imperial court has sent Di Gong to wipe us out. He Kui from the Kui Camp is already fifty miles away!"

Hua Twelve waved his hand and said, "What are you afraid of? We have so many weapons. If they come, we will make them pay!"

He had almost destroyed the Western industry and seized a large number of weapons and weapons manufacturing factories.

After a period of recruiting soldiers, Hua Shier now has more than 20,000 men under his command, all of whom are equipped with the most advanced breech-loading rifles in the world at that time. Not to mention that the enemy is the Qing army, he would even dare to fight against the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Two hours later, He Kui had already arrived at Wumeng and set up camp ten miles away. Hua Twelve was immediately unhappy when he heard the news. He dared to set up camp only ten miles away. Who were they looking down on? He waved his hand:
"Where's my Italian cannon?"

The Italian cannon he mentioned is the same as the "Italian cannon" mentioned by Li Yunlong, but in fact it is not Italian, but the French M1897 75mm cannon.

This gun used a revolutionary artillery design and was one of the best performing rapid-fire guns before World War I.

Originally, this type of artillery would not appear for several years, but when Hua XII raided Paris last time, he found an unfinished product of this artillery in a military factory.

The reason why the design has not been completed and put into production is mainly due to some technical difficulties.

To Hua Shier, the most advanced technology in the world was also backward in his eyes. He simply put the repaired T800 and T1000 to work as laborers and produced the finished artillery in a short time, and it reached the level for mass production.

So these days, Wumeng has dozens of these "Italian cannons".

The range of this artillery is about 8500 meters. He Kui set up camp ten miles away, which is just within the range of the artillery.

This cannon is lighter than traditional artillery, weighing only more than a thousand kilograms. Dozens of cannons were pushed to the top of the city wall. The foreign instructor from Gaul helped the new gunners from Wumeng to correct their position. Then, at a command, the cannons fired at the same time. Dozens of shells almost all hit the camp of Kui Camp.

The first-generation rapid-fire cannon, which could fire fifteen shells per minute, turned the Kui Camp into a sea of ​​fire with its devastating force.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

General He Kui, who had originally planned to attack the city and capture Wumeng at night and gain the first merit, and his Kui Camp, were wiped out in a short time.

Two days later, the Governor of Liangjiang, Di Gong, came with 50,000 soldiers and horses. He was riding on a horse. Although he was old, he was still full of vigor and vitality. At this time, he asked his attendants:

"By now, He Kui should have taken Wumeng, right?"

Someone around him replied in jest, "General He Kui is a brave warrior who always leads the battle. Even in ancient times, he would have been a rare warrior. How much momentum can a deputy county magistrate of Wumeng rebel? It is nothing more than a minor matter to the court. I think it must be as you expected, Wumeng is in your control!"

Di Gong laughed out loud: "Well said."

puff!
A bullet shot into Di Gong's forehead, leaving a bloody hole. He was still laughing, but he had already fallen off his horse and died.

In the woods six hundred meters away, Hua Twelve threw a Dreiser rifle to the stunned Prussian shooting instructor:
"See? This is what we call marksmanship!"

After saying that, he gestured: "Charge!"

Leopard Head stood up and shouted, "My Lord has given the order, follow me!"

After saying this, three thousand men rushed out from the woods on both sides and headed straight for Di Gong's 50,000-strong army.

The enemy was the government army. Although Di Gong was dead, there was only a commotion. A deputy general stepped forward to stabilize the troops. Seeing that the enemy had fewer people than his own, he immediately drew his saber and pointed forward:
"Charge! Wipe out all the rebels and avenge Lord Di!"

The government troops immediately rushed forward, and the two sides were getting closer and closer. The musketeers on the Wumeng side opened fire directly. The government troops also had muskets, but the range was not enough, and they fell down in rows before they could even engage in battle.

As the number of Qing soldiers killed increased, and with the death of their chief commander Di Gong, the morale of the army became chaotic. The Qing soldiers in the front were unwilling to be cannon fodder, so they all turned around and ran back.

Di Gong's deputy general hacked several escapees to death with his saber. When he was about to kill more, he was dragged off his horse by a deserter and then hacked to death by his own people.

With the death of this deputy general, the morale of the army was completely disrupted. No one wanted to fight anymore, and the 50,000-strong army was directly dispersed.

Leopard Head held two revolvers, shook his head and roared like a lion, roaring and firing, shooting and killing the enemies one after another, shouting:
"Stimulate!"

Hua Twelve was very upset behind him: "This violent lunatic!"

After the battle, more than 30,000 of the 50,000 Qing soldiers were killed, some of them ran away, and the remaining 10,000 or so all knelt down and surrendered.

More than 20 people from the Wumeng Army died, and several sprained their ankles during the charge.

Hua Twelve sighed: "We paid too high a price for this battle, with heavy casualties!"

Leopard Head couldn't help but turn around and spit, and Hua Twelve kicked him.

After defeating He Kui and Di Gong, Hua Shier also discovered that the Qing soldiers had no combat effectiveness at all. Why wait to recruit soldiers? He might as well take the initiative to attack.

Letting the others guard Wumeng, he took Leopard Head and led three thousand men all the way to Jinling.

Pingyuan, Weining, Bijie, Tongren, Huaihua, Shaoyang, Loudi, Changsha.
They crushed the enemy with ease all the way and reached the city of Nanjing in just three months.

Along the way, the Qing troops fled at the first sign of trouble, and many people came to join the army. When the rebellion started, Hua Shier led only 3,000 soldiers and horses. When he arrived in Nanjing, he had an army of 100,000 under his command.

Of course, these 100,000 troops were of mixed quality. Some were ambitious people and progressive young people, some were defectors from the Qing army, and more were there because they saw that he was in power and wanted to follow him to make a living.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of talent among those who join the team. Hua Shier has discovered many well-known and capable people. Each of these people's names is well-known, but their names cannot be mentioned. As long as they can be used, that's it.

Some people had guns, and what Hua Shier created along the way to Wumeng was not just a spark, but a raging fire that covered the entire prairie.

After reaching Nanjing, Hua Shier no longer commanded the battle. He handed over the command to Xu Baijiu and Leopard Head. In addition, he vigorously promoted his talents, letting those who could fight in the parallel space lead the troops, which was the best choice.

Hua Shier himself returned to Wumeng, where his main job was to accompany his wife, and his side job was to take Uncle Jiu and Simu out to exorcise demons, so that the tasks could grow steadily as planned.

In the blink of an eye, a year passed, and the area south of the Yangtze River became Hua Shier's territory. The Qing Dynasty lost half of its territory and was in danger.

Hua Shier was not in a hurry to cross the river. He first focused on selecting talents to govern the local area. After a few years, when the local area was stable and the people were prosperous, it would not be too late to start the Northern Expedition.

In the past few years, he only controlled the general direction and left professional matters to professionals. He directly gave two guidance books to those famous people in history to help them broaden their horizons, better govern the people, and develop and build.

Hua Shier himself devoted his energy to another task, which was to perfect his magical powers of controlling the heavens and the earth and to eliminate the false and retain the true!

He visited Taoist holy places such as Mount Longhu, Mount Mao, Mount Wudang, and Mount Laoshan, and read countless classics. Finally one day, he had an epiphany. The word "fake" behind the magical power "Law of Heaven and Earth" in the system skill column had disappeared.

If you ask him what truth he has realized, in general terms, it is to imitate the heaven and earth and follow the will of nature. If you look at it in detail, he cannot explain it clearly. It can only be understood, not expressed in words.

Maybe it was because he read too many Taoist scriptures and realized too much, so by chance he finally understood it. It was just a natural process. Anyway, this is how he achieved this supernatural power.

Time flies, and I will omit the description of several years. Hua Twelve's "Removing Qing and Restoring Ming" (well, this is a kind of medicine, a specialty of the Tiandihui), finally did what he wanted to do, and also completed the task by the way (mainly because I just wrote and uploaded it, and the editor edited it in the background. I guess I can't write it, so I won't force it. Just understand this paragraph)
On the night when the mission was completed, Hua Shier coaxed his children to sleep, and then chatted with his wives until dawn. When the morning star rose, he walked out of the palace, asked the guards on duty to call Dracula, and captured him with the "Qiankun Royal Fan". He also captured a yellow bird flying in the sky, and then communicated with the system in his mind and chose to return!
