Chapter 1167 Retribution(1/2)
On the 24th day of the 12th lunar month of the 30th year of Tianwu, the Little New Year, the long-awaited days of the Far East Army finally arrived.
The 80,000 expeditionary troops stationed in Mexico City and the 100,000 eastern troops who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty surged on the border that lasted a hundred miles. The tents that had originally stretched out were now closed.
The Far East Fleet's hundreds of warships have also made final preparations. After countless inspections, they are ready to go north at any time!
The north wind is fierce, and the flags of each army are waving in the wind, making a "pa" sound, which is extremely crisp.
In the dazzling sunlight, countless iron helmets shaking, reflecting the cold metal light, and the vicissitudes of faces below were filled with tension and excitement.
From generals to soldiers, everyone has a common strange feeling.
The war they face next will be recorded in history forever, and they are participating in it at this time!
"The entire division of the First Division of the Far Eastern Army of the Ming Dynasty is ready and enters a state of war!"
"The entire division of the Second Division of the Far Eastern Army of the Ming Dynasty is ready and enters a state of war!"
“…….”
"The Cavalry Division of the Far East Army of the Ming Dynasty is ready and attacks at any time!"
"The Fifth Royal Artillery Brigade of the Shenwu Army is ready!"
.........
In the central army's tent, in front of the giant sand table, Xu Mingwu was wearing embroidered gold light armor, lined with a red python robe, and staring at the generals with bright eyes.
After everyone finished reporting, Xu Mingwu shouted loudly: "I am the commander's military order, and the entire army will immediately set sail, advance northward, challenge rebellion, and kill the Wu bandits!"
"Try the rebellion and kill the Wu thieves!"
"Try the rebellion and kill the Wu thieves!"
The tent was filled with excitement, and the generals shouted loudly.
Regarding the rebel Wu Sangui, the soldiers of the Far East Army grew up by listening to his name.
Since Wu Sangui rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty thirty years ago, the deeds of Wu thieves have long been written into the Ming textbooks and have become the memory of the Ming generation.
At the same time, Wu Sangui became the first traitor to everyone who wanted to kill, which was higher than Hong Chengchou's hatred!
At least, Hong Chengchou had a disguised as a destruction of the Qing Dynasty and worked tirelessly to help the Ming Dynasty play a vanguard on the American continent. He improved the system, communicated culture, educated the natives, and laid a good foundation for the Ming Dynasty to unify the American continent. He had no contribution and worked hard.
Therefore, in recent years, the Ming court did not implicate Hong Chengchou's tribe members. His third brother Hong Chengzheng was still a calligrapher in Quanzhou, and his wife's tribe member Li Guangdi was still working in the Hanlin Academy and walking in front of the emperor.
Hong Chengchou's three daughters got married before he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and lived in Fujian. Three of them were married to the son of Zeng Hualong, the former governor of Denglai, and were not implicated.
Wu Sangui is different. He is just a rebellious person. He has not done many serious things and is a destruction leader. Moreover, there are no good people in the family. Whether it is a brother or a son-in-law, he is a traitor. (Military advisor Xia Guozhu and general Hu Guozhu are both Wu Sangui's son-in-law)
It can be said that the senior officials of Wu Sangui's newly established Great Zhou Dynasty were basically the relatives of the Wu family.
This time, the Far East Army will fight northward, and solve a series of problems such as traitors in the East once and for all.
This time, the Ming Dynasty's military flag will be completely planted on the northern land!
This time, every soldier will become the one who creates history like the general and the governor!
......
On the vast North American continent, in the teahouses and restaurants on the streets and alleys, a pair of chopsticks can be seen on three cups of tea everywhere.
Whenever they saw this tea array, all the members of the Tiandihui Association lurking in the former Dadong Kingdom suddenly became energetic. The person who received the code went forward and moved his chopsticks away, and then chanted with excitement: "Hold a gun and grab a horse and drink it!"
This tea array is called "Break the King City", and is an order issued by Chen Yonghua, the head of the Tiandihui Society, to all members: the general attack has begun!
After carefully confirming the secret code, there was no doubt that the blood of all members of the Heaven and Earth Association suddenly boiled!
They returned home, kissed their wives and children goodbye, pushed open the door with tears, and then rushed to the place where weapons and explosives were hidden, and armed themselves in an instant and rushed into the boundless darkness.
In the town next to Zhou Jun’s garrison, crisp gunshots suddenly came from the cheerful brothels.
The Zhou army officers who came to have fun and stayed overnight in the brothel were killed one after another in the gentle land.
There are also occasional explosions in the Zhou army camp...
The Tiandihui is a branch of the Jinyiwei. The helm leader Chen Yonghua was once an artillery officer of the Shenwu Army. He participated in the battle to fight against Japan.
It was just because after fighting Japan and when various departments reported their military achievements, Zhu Cixuan accidentally discovered Chen Yonghua on a busy list. After verifying his hometown, he summoned him alone.
Zhu Cixuan has never forgotten the overseas traitors. The purpose of establishing the Tiandihui was naturally to target the so-called Great Eastern Kingdoms, and to pay attention to the situation of colonies in various American countries.
Later, the son-in-law Xu Mingwu went to America to be the governor of the Far East, and the role of the Heaven and Earth Society became even greater.
Fortunately, Xu Mingwu has not been fooled. He has been honest in recent years, otherwise he would not know how to die!
...
Dongdu City, Shangyu spare parts.
Wu Yingxiong looked at the messy reports in his hand and pinched his chin hard. He felt that his head was a little big and he couldn't get what to do.
He hesitated, wondering whether to come to the palace to meet the king and father to report the matter.
The generals of the Great Zhou army were frequently assassinated, revealing a strange feeling, and Wu Yingxiong was shrouded in his heart.
But these people all died on women's belly. If you report to the front of the emperor without any brains, you will be in a brain!
First of all, Wu Sangui just became the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was the critical moment of establishing a career. Not to mention the death of a few small and medium-sized generals, even if the general Hu Guozhu dies, he may not necessarily pay attention to it...
Secondly, as a general, he could not live in the military camp, but was killed while visiting brothels. If he strictly investigated and dealt with, many people would definitely suffer.
As the new crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wu Yingxiong will never do anything to offend the military general group for trivial matters!
At this moment, Guandao Mei Guanhai hurriedly reported: "Your Highness, General Hu is dead!"
"Who are you talking about?" Wu Yingxiong widened his eyes.
"General Hu Guozhu, General Hu was assassinated in a brothel last night..." Mei Guanhai said carefully.
Wu Yingxiong was silent. Hu Guozhu was a capable general of the Wu family and his brother-in-law. He actually died! Still dead in a brothel!
If he had thought that these assassinations were revenge of the remnants of the Eastern Kingdom, Wu Yingxiong suddenly realized something now.
Immediately, he said with a calm face: "Come into the palace!"
...
In the palace, early in the morning, the newly usurped Emperor Zhaowu Wu Sangui had already gotten up and washed up, and practiced a set of fists and feet, relaxed his muscles and bones, breathed in, and moved to the imperial study with a refreshing spirit.
Since ancient times, those who rely on usurping the throne have cherished time and worked diligently, and Wu Sangui is no exception.
In the past two months since he was emperor, he has been going to bed early and getting up early every day, and his life is extremely regular.
After getting up early and exercising, Wu Sangui would come to the imperial study room and work hard on government affairs while having breakfast. He was more serious than the young man in the 21st century who was eating while browsing his cell phone in the morning.
At this time, the door carefully reported: "Report to the Emperor, Minister of War Wu Guogui asked for a visit."
Wu Sangui was a little surprised and looked at the swinging Western clock. It was not yet time for the morning court and he had not been summoned. Why did the Minister of War run to the palace to ask for a meeting?
"Come in."
...
Wu Guogui staggered in, his eyes dulled, and he stared at Wu Sangui with a stare, his face as if dead.
Suddenly, he released the animal and said sadly: "Emperor... the Far East Army is here!"
Wu Sangui narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Guogui up and down, as if he wanted to reach out to touch his forehead to see if it was burned.
The Far East Army has come to fight? How is that possible!
Just the tens of thousands of troops of the Far East Army can confront hundreds of thousands of troops of the Great Zhou that I integrated?
Moreover, there is also a 100,000 army of King Zuo Xu of Jingnan in the southern border, who has already given his kindness and power, and promised to retain the title of prince for the Zuo family. I believe that Zuo Xu will know the truth and dare not oppose the Great Zhou!
Furthermore, the Far East Army's garrison was more than 6,000 miles away from the core area of the Great Zhou royal capital. They ran to death every day and marched a hundred miles apart, which would take more than two months.
How do they fight the logistics supply for thousands of miles? Do the boy named Xu dare to fight?
Before Wu Sangui could question him, he informed him again that Prince Wu Yingxiong asked for a meeting.
As soon as Wu Yingxiong entered the study, his face was ashamed and repeatedly asked his father to forgive the crime of missing the prison...
After hearing the two of them, Wu Sangui burst into tears in pain, and announced several inquiries about intelligence. Then he took it seriously. He immediately looked ugly and gritted his teeth and said, "I underestimated that kid!"
At this time, the new Foreign Minister also rushed in. Like the previous two old men, he kowtowed and apologized as soon as he arrived, and his hands were trembling with a few English versions of the treaty...
"Emperor, the British and French invaded your secret residence fiefdom and threatened to ask me to cede land and pay compensation in Dazhou to ensure peaceful coexistence between the two parties..."
Wu Sangui's face turned pale when his hometown was stolen from behind, and slowly turned red, and his eyes were about to spit out of fire.
He lowered his head, stared at the English version of the treaty in his hand, and suddenly tore it to pieces, and threw it hard on the face of the Foreign Minister. Then he lifted his legs and kicked the three guys kneeling in front of him one by one.
Several ministers, including Crown Prince Wu Yingxiong, were kicked and did not dare to say anything. They fell down and quickly got up, kneeled down and waited for kicking...
Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and shouted: "Bai Yi, who is ignorant of life and death, dares to take advantage of the situation! What about Jin Xuan, who is responsible for negotiating with Bai Yi? Why don't you see others?"
The Foreign Minister was frightened like a sieve and got up and whispered: "Master, Jin Xuan ran away. I heard that he was going to join the Frenchman..."
"waste!"
Wu Sangui kicked two more rounds, then he calmed down a little bit of anger, and sat down slowly, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Finally, he said with a gloomy face: "I ordered all troops to prepare for war, and I will go south to personally fight, and I will make the Shenzhou one battle!"
To be continued...
