Witch Wind

Chapter 175: Officials Force Officials to Revolt (Part )
"...This beast is a traitor to the country. Three million soldiers did not fire a single arrow, and not a single person died, but all surrendered to the traitor. Such behavior is shocking... This beast must have some unspeakable plan... Your servant... I... I... I... I kowtow with tears and blood, and I beg the government to show its wrath and severely punish the traitor to the country."

In the Forbidden Palace in Fentian City, in the pavilion where the Empress Dowager usually lived in luxury, Duoduo, Shang Kexi, and Kong Youde were shirtless, surrounded by a large group of gorgeous young ladies. Their faces were flushed, and the pungent smell of alcohol permeated their bodies. God knew how much old wine they had drunk.

The Empress Dowager was wearing a light casual dress with her long hair loose. She waved the memorial jointly submitted by the four governors of the four provinces of Shanhe in a rage and shouted, "Rebellion, rebellion, this little thief, I know he is not a quiet one."

"I have already made so much concessions, giving him the title of Duke of Jieshi and the entire Jieshi County as his fiefdom, and he is still not satisfied? He is colluding with the rebels, what is his intention?"

The queen mother's pink face twitched. Although she was well-maintained, she still looked a little old. Her eyes, which were faintly pierced by blood, were full of anger. She screamed hysterically, and the yin energy around her was filled with a biting cold wind in the pavilion. The group of gorgeous young ladies turned pale and trembled as they went to the arms of Duoduo and the other two.

"Girl is talking nonsense."

Duoduo lazily raised a large bowl and gulped down a mouthful of wine: "This Xing Tianli is definitely going to rebel. With his cultivation level, do you think he will appreciate your little favor?"

"One, you were the one who wiped out the New Party of the New Deal, and his father actually died at your hands. This debt... If it were an ordinary mortal, a duke's title would be enough to bribe him eight or ten times. But for a great cultivator who has the power of a celestial being and can even kill Oboi, what's the point of using a secular title to appease him?"

"Second, to be honest, he also took the Jieshi County from that...that...that Yihe Princess. You gave her the territory she took away by trickery as her territory. After all, she is a woman, so it's too stingy. What if you gave him the entire Jiangdong Province?"

Duoduo shook his head and sighed, "So, he is definitely going to rebel. It's just a matter of time."

The furious queen mother suddenly calmed down. She smiled sweetly, came to Duoduo, poured him a bowl of wine, and said softly, "Grandfather, you can't let him do whatever he wants."

Behind the Queen Mother, a huge Dayu Dynasty geomancy map was held up by an invisible force and suspended in the air.

On the geomancy map of the Dayu Dynasty, starting from Jieshi County, along the river, and then along the three major water systems running from the northwest to the southeast, the three deep red marching routes were like three hideous knife marks, cutting the Dayu Dynasty into two pieces.

Along the three major water systems, next to each town, there were bloody numbers marked. Those were the number of troops left behind by Xing Tianli's army after they forcibly took over the town.

A small town has three to five thousand people; a small county town has eight to nine thousand people; a big city has twenty to thirty thousand people.

Half of these garrisons were Dongyun vassal troops, and the rest were native Black Borneo troops, as well as a small number of troops from good families in Jieshi County who had received favors from the Jieshi Duke's Mansion and were completely loyal to Xing Tianli.

Their numbers are not large, but their equipment is extremely sophisticated.

Everyone was equipped with the most advanced automatic weapons of the British Army, and was equipped with a large number of machine guns and small-caliber high-speed cannons, as well as a varying number of large-caliber field guns stationed on high ground.

In addition, there are ship-shaped buoys on the three major water systems, marking the position of the fleet flying the military flag of the Jieshi Duke's Mansion's "Xing Tian Dancing with Gan Qi" - many of these warships were still part of the Royal Navy of England a few days ago, they just changed their flags and suddenly became the navy under the Jieshi Duke's Mansion.

The three major water systems of the Dayu Dynasty have abundant water in the main river channels. The shallowest part is more than twenty feet deep. Even a cutting-edge battleship of tens of thousands of tons can easily go upstream and reach the four provinces of mountains and rivers.

It cannot be said that there were no loyal ministers in the Dayu Dynasty.

Xing Tianli's army forcibly took over the towns along the way. When the huge navy went upstream, several garrison generals from various prefectures led their troops to fight back.

There is also a large city among them, which is the office of the governor of a province.

The commander-in-chief of the standard camp under the governor's command commanded the governor's standard camp, county soldiers, and guerrilla soldiers stationed there, as well as the servants of the wealthy families who were forcibly recruited from the public. They gathered together about 50,000 troops, claiming to be an army of 150,000, and took the initiative to attack the Jieshi Duke's army that was landing.

As a result, the Jieshi Duke's army that was attacked, more than 10,000 soldiers who had just landed set up machine guns and high-speed cannons and swept through, and the main guns of seven or eight 10,000-ton destroyers cruising on the nearby waters fired indiscriminately. The "150,000" army did not hold out for even a quarter of an hour and collapsed like a landslide.

The general who led the army was turned into ashes by the main gun of the destroyer, and not a trace was left.

In fact, judging from this geomancy map, although Xing Tianli only sent troops to garrison in the towns along the three major water systems, in fact, the Dayu Dynasty had already lost control of the Jiangnan region.

Although there are many governors, county governors and county magistrates in the major provinces of Jiangnan who are "loyal" to the Dayu Dynasty, what's the use?

With their weak troops, it is only a matter of time before Xing Tianli takes over their territory.

The Queen Mother smiled bitterly and said, "Look, look at what has happened to our Great Yu Dynasty because of him? He has severed the connection between the north and the south. He wants to divide the land!"

After hesitating for a while, the Queen Mother said quietly, "This boy's wolfish ambitions have been fully exposed. Ancestor?"

Duoduo, Shang Kexi and Kong Youde were just playing around with the older girl next to them and ignored her for a long time.

The Queen Mother waited for a long time, and her expression became increasingly ugly.

After a long while, Duoduo said slowly: "Forget it, the three of us have to stay in Fentian City. You don't want that kid to break into the capital one day, so why don't you just let him go and kill him?"

"Well, let's send all the little guys we brought from our ancestral land and those who escaped from Jieshi County to the four provinces of Shanhe to keep them stable. As long as they stay stable, when Dorgon comes out, everything will be settled."

With a sneer, Duoduo said softly: "When the time comes, what about the Jiazi Walk, what about the Western Hundred Kingdoms, hey, and this audacious Jieshi Gong, hey... Come on, you should quickly issue an imperial decree to tell the subjects of the world that Jieshi Gong is indeed the most loyal minister of the country, who has quelled the rebellion for the country and deserves a reward for his great merit."

"Promote him to be the Prince of Jieshi County. By the way, send him the list of all the unmarried young ladies of the royal family of the Yu clan. Tell the world that as long as he wants, he can have as many young ladies of the royal family as he wants. Even if it means taking them all!"

The Queen Mother opened her eyes wide and was stunned.

She was also considered an expert at palace fighting. Over the years, she had fought against thousands or even hundreds of princes, dukes, chancellors, and university secretaries whose entire families had been executed. In her opinion, Duoduo's order was simply "stupid"!
But, he is our ancestor!

Over the years, she has been able to call the shots in Fentian City and has been successful in everything she does. Isn't it because of the support of Dorgon, Duoduo and other ancestors of the Qing Dynasty that she is so wanton and arrogant?

The empress dowager clenched her fists tightly, responded with a smile, lowered her head, and slowly retreated.

After the Queen Mother and her people had gone far away, Kong Youde said lazily, "Wouldn't that force her into a corner? What if she turns around and hooks up with those beasts in the mountains?"

Duoduo drank another large bowl of wine nonchalantly: "She is just a puppet, how can she jump up to the sky? Hey, colluding with those old ghosts of the Jade Clan? She has ruined the foundation of the Jade Clan so much over the years, isn't she afraid that those old ghosts will settle accounts with her later?"

Shaking his head indifferently, Duoduo said calmly: "Let her do whatever she wants. Anyway, as long as the Dayu Dynasty is in chaos, the more chaotic it is, the faster the country's fortune will be lost, and it will be easier for Dorgon to extract the country's fortune. Wait until he completes the ritual of refining the Hanba clone, and then it will be easy to restore the old country from the beginning."

Shang Kexi coughed and said, "Start all over again, rebuild the old country... this phrase is unlucky."

Duoduo smiled drunkenly and shook his head without saying anything.

The deep whistle broke the tranquility of the river in the early morning. The huge ship weighing more than 50,000 tons, like a prehistoric beast, slowly smashed the waves and whirlpools on the river surface, and slowly approached the huge deep-water port in the river bay ahead.

Xing Tianli stood at the bow, quietly looking at the river bay behind which could accommodate hundreds of huge ships. The city was originally majestic, but due to years of disrepair, many parts of the city walls had cracked and collapsed. The river breeze blew, and the outer layer of blue bricks disappeared, revealing the rammed earth walls inside. Dozens of wild castor beans were swaying vigorously, forming a sharp contrast with the guards at the gate below, who were dressed in tattered clothes, wearing rusty swords and guns, and hunched over and listless. Tsk, Dayu Chao.

Xing Tianli shook his head, a faint light flickering in his eyes, and looked at the two powerful characters above the city gate.

'Red Cliff'?
Familiar name.

After understanding the origins of many characters in the Eastern Divine Land, it is only reasonable that there is a provincial capital named "Chibi" here.

Moreover, it is said that the two words "Chibi" on the city gate were written by a certain leader named Cao. I wonder what kind of mood he was in when he wrote these two words?

The giant ship cautiously approached the berth on the shore.

A loud singing sound was heard, and a black-sailed boat without any oarsmen, moving without wind, rushed straight towards the bow of the giant warship at an astonishing speed.

Mi Xiangjun, who had not been seen for many days, stood at the bow of the boat, with his hands behind his back, his head held high and his chest puffed out, steering the boat.

When Xing Tianli saw Mi Xiangjun, he couldn't help but smile.

This guy is a wonderful person.

In Pinghai City, he removed the curse from Murima and others, and then enthusiastically followed Princess Yihe and others straight into the temporary court. Xing Tianli thought that he would have a big fight with him, and then become enemies with the Da Chu behind him.

Unexpectedly, this guy just exchanged one move with Xing Tianli, and after being brutally crushed by Xing Tianli in the swordsmanship, he turned around and walked away very casually. It was said that after Xing Tianli issued several decrees, Mi Xiangjun patrolled around the Jieshi County, which was in turmoil, and then ran to other counties in Jiangdong Province.

After so many months, I didn't expect to meet him again in "Chibi", the capital of Hedong Province.

Xing Tianli called out loudly, "Master Mi, I haven't seen you for a while, what have you been doing?"

Mi Xiangjun waved his sleeves in a very casual manner and patted the sword on his waist vigorously: "Shh, people of my generation are naturally chivalrous and righteous. In the past few months, I have chopped off the heads of several corrupt officials with my sword and saved some people who were harmed. It's really satisfying, very satisfying!"

Mi Xiangjun rolled up his sleeves, and a huge jar of wine, big enough to fit him in, came out.

He raised his head, the big jar tilted slightly, and a stream of clear wine poured into his mouth. He drank a few mouthfuls, then waved his hand, and the huge wine jar flew across several miles with the sound of wind and flew directly in front of Xing Tianli.

"Would you like a sip? This is a century-old wine I found in the cellar of a playboy who raped a commoner girl a few days ago. I killed his father, the county magistrate, and found it there." Mi Xiangjun sighed, "A mere hundred years cannot compare to those rare treasures that have been prepared with miraculous medicines, sealed with secret methods, and preserved for a thousand years. But all those good things have gone into the stomachs of a group of old drunkards. How could I have a chance to drink it?"

Xing Tianli looked at Mi Xiangjun, picked up the wine jar, and drank the whole jar of wine amid Mi Xiangjun's angry shouts and curses.

"You, you, you..." Mi Xiangjun's body shook, and the long sword 'Qianglang' at his waist was unsheathed. He jumped onto the long sword lightly, and skillfully drew ripples on the water surface, and climbed onto the bow in a flash.

All around, a large group of British sailors were in an uproar, and the looks they gave Mi Xiangjun were a little abnormal.

That is to say, Mi Xiangjun was dressed as a man. If he was dressed as a woman, these sailors would have knelt down and kowtowed, shouting "May the Virgin Mary appear."

"I've been to many places and seen many people." Mi Xiangjun came to Xing Tianli in a sullen manner, with her hands behind her back, looking at the dense crowd on the dock in front of her, and sighed: "I lament the hardships of people's lives and the incompetence of the Jade Clan."

Xing Tianli shook the big wine jar and casually stuffed the blue and white porcelain wine jar into his sleeve. The wine jar was exquisitely crafted and was a rare official kiln product. It could also be exchanged for some silver coins, so he would not throw it away.

"Then what? The Jade Clan is incompetent?" Xing Tianli looked at Mi Xiangjun.

Mi Xiangjun smiled. A long whistle was heard in the distance. Then she saw water clouds covering the surface of the river and black air rising. Ying Wu, the contemporary Jiazi of Ying Qin, whom she had met on Yunxiang Island before, did not ride in his majestic carriage. Instead, he was wearing a black dragon robe, with a six-foot-long sword at his waist and a bronze short spear in his hand. He came over on the water clouds.

"The homeland of Shenzhou should be inhabited by those with virtue. The Yu Clan has lost their virtue, causing the people to live in misery and misery. Don't blame us, the three ancient families, for taking action to change Shenzhou and usher in a true ruler of the world." Ying Wu came with his head held high and chest puffed out. He landed on the bow of the ship. The giant battleship, which was over 50,000 tons, actually made a terrible 'creaking' sound. The bow sank and the stern rose up. A low 'whirring' sound of breaking wind was heard, and several huge propellers at the tail broke away from the water and spun around in the air.

On the ship, many British sailors finally knelt down.

Holy Mother Supreme, with the knowledge and intelligence of these English sailors, they cannot understand how much power is needed to move such an "invincible giant ship" weighing tens of thousands of tons into this state!
Xing Tianli snorted coldly and pointed a finger at Ying Wu: "Be polite, these ships were rented from Yingjishi with real money. The ships I bought myself have not arrived yet!"

With a silent and seemingly powerless move, Ying Wu laughed disapprovingly: "How stingy! I was just wondering who to collect the Jiazi tribute from this year... Not to mention, you actually killed the descendant of the Ying family in Dongyun."

Ying Wu was careless and slapped Xing Tianli's finger, then caught it with his palm.

With a "puff", blood scattered everywhere, and Ying Wu's palm was pierced.

"Wow, sorry, you look like some legendary savior." Xing Tianli looked at Ying Wu's palm that was pierced by him, and at Ying Wu's face that was as stiff as a dead person, and told a very cold joke.

Slowly pulling back his fingers, Xing Tianli felt the resistance his fingertips encountered when he pierced Ying Wu's palm before, and shook his head gently: "Your Highness Ying Wu, your body is a little weak, you still need to work hard to strengthen yourself!"

Ying Wu's face was bleak and he was a little furious. The next moment, he was a little ashamed and angry, and his face instantly became as if it was covered with blood. He stomped his feet fiercely, and black mist and water clouds filled the air under his feet. He was about to escape, but he gritted his teeth and stopped.

"Hey, Great Xia Wumin... You have long been remnants of the past, yet you have come out to stir up trouble again." Ying Wu raised his head proudly: "I am just too young, and have not yet performed my Great Qin bloodline to the extreme, let alone cultivated my "Ying Qin Shenglong Transformation" to the minor success stage."

Ying Wu kept muttering about how he was too young, had been too playful in the past, and had not put all his energy into cultivation. Anyway, he made up a lot of excuses for himself.

"I am not yet twenty years old. I seem even younger than His Highness Ying Wu." Xing Tianli's words made Ying Wu's face even redder. He opened his mouth again and again but could not utter a word.

The next moment, a faint light flashed around Xing Tianli, with a faint sandalwood scent and wisps of Buddha's light. The red carved insect appeared beside him out of thin air like a ghost, silently and without form or trace.

Xing Tianli let out a light shout, and the Tongtian Miaozhu emitted a cold light, which instantly illuminated the center of Zhudiao Chong's eyebrows.

The ancient sword beside Mi Xiangjun spun, and the long sword had already lightly touched the vital point on the back of the red eagle insect.

Ying Wu had just lost a lot of face in front of Xing Tianli. Faced with the sudden appearance of the Red Diao Worm, he roared, and the bronze short spear in his hand flashed with a cold light, and with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, it pierced the Red Diao Worm's lower abdomen.

Xing Tianli and Mi Xiangjun saw the appearance of the red eagle bug and subconsciously stopped their hands. Only Ying Wu gritted his teeth and said sternly: "Where did this fat guy come from? How dare you kill the king? Come and die!"

Ying Wu's attack was extremely ruthless. Zhu Diao Chong chanted the Buddha's name, and Buddha's light surged around him, steadily holding the short spear in Ying Wu's hand. Then he sent out a Buddha's palm, and the five-colored Buddha's palm hit Ying Wu's chest hard, making him groan on the spot and was blasted away.
