Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World
Chapter 317 Jiaqing ascends the throne
Suo Chao had no good feelings towards Emperor Qianlong, who called himself the "Ten Perfects". In his later years, Emperor Qianlong was well aware that industrial revolution was taking place in the West, but he turned a deaf ear to the great changes in the world.
To further consolidate imperial power and suppress the Han Chinese, Emperor Qianlong burned books on a large scale and launched a literary inquisition. This sowed the seeds of a century of humiliation.
Suo Chao tapped the toes of a fragment of the Yongle Encyclopedia. The word "firearm" glowed a faint blue light amidst the sword energy. He stared at Emperor Qianlong, crouched behind a jade screen. The hem of his court robe, adorned with a five-clawed golden dragon, was scorched by the flames.
"Protect the emperor! Shoot me!" Qianlong roared, hurling the Longquan sword at Suo Chao. The oriental pearl inlaid on the hilt drew a pale arc in mid-air. Three hundred blue-feathered guards simultaneously raised their swords and attacked, their blades flashing coldly, weaving a web of death.
Suo Chao didn't move, but the tip of his Nine-Glory Thunder Spear emitted a blinding arc of electricity. When the first lead bullet was three inches from his forehead, the second move of the Nine-Strike Spear Technique, "Sweeping the Thousands of Troops," suddenly launched.
A giant dragon phantom formed by purple lightning swirled up, and the blades hovered strangely in the gun field, then broke off and fell to the ground.
"Bang!"
"what...."
Amidst screams, twenty guards plunged into the flames, clutching their hands. Suo Chao sniffed the scent of scorched flesh as he swept his spear across, creating a hurricane that swept the remaining mountain of books into the air. The "Wu Bei Zhi" (Wu Bei Zhi), which documented the construction of watertight compartments, and the "Jun Qi Tu Shuo" (Jun Qi Tu Shuo), depicting flintlock mechanisms, now transformed into meteors in the golden light of the Wushuang Sword Domain, escaping into the firmament of World A.
"Witchcraft! This is all witchcraft!" Qianlong stumbled back, grabbing the back collar of Heshen's sable fur coat, and the night-shining pearl on his gold-inlaid crown rolled into the brazier.
He Shen's face was filled with resentment. He was unreliable as a human shield. From the stargazing scene just now, he had a glimpse of his future destiny.
"Jiaqing is such a bastard! I worked hard all my life for the Qing Dynasty, but ended up like this." Heshen cursed in his heart.
At that moment, Fu Kang'an's heavily armored cavalry burst through the gates. This renowned general, fresh from pacifying the Jinchuan region, wielded a gold-inlaid lance, its tip stained with the blood of the southwestern chieftains. Three hundred cavalrymen charged in a wedge formation.
"Give me my three-shot swift-firing rifle!" Fu Kang'an shouted. His personal guard immediately handed over a fine-steel musket, a modified weapon he had captured on the Jinchuan battlefield. Smoke billowed from all three barrels simultaneously, and specially crafted shrapnel shells exploded in the air. Thousands of poison-infused caltrops enveloped Suo Chao's body.
Suo Chao's pupils narrowed, and a hint of seriousness finally appeared. The tip of the Jinglei Spear tapped the ground, drawing a circle. As his Vajra Indestructible Skill reached its peak, a golden wall of energy emerged from his skin. The caltrops collided with the golden wall, sending sparks flying and making a clanging sound.
"General, be careful!" By the time Fu Kang'an saw Suo Chao reduced to a shadow, it was too late. The Thunder Spear pierced through the triple layer of armor, and the infrasound waves generated by the spear's vibrations caused thirty warhorses to kneel and spit blood simultaneously.
Suo Chao grabbed Fu Kang'an's breastplate with his left hand and discovered a hidden spring weapon made of Burmese iron inside - it was the lost "mother-and-child chain crossbow" technology in "Illustrated Explanation of Military Equipment".
"What a pity." Suo Chao sighed softly, and used his finger force to shatter the heart-protecting mirror, severely injuring Fu Kang'an.
Twenty spear shadows shot towards Qianlong's throne, pinning the dragon pillar like a hedgehog. Heshen suddenly fell, his fat body surprisingly agile - this corrupt official had already mastered the "Yan Qing Eighteen Flips" from the "Ji Xiao Xin Shu" to perfection.
Qianlong was trembling all over. He had miscalculated today. This thief was too strong. He was afraid his life would be in danger. He wanted to find a way to escape. Seeing the blue-feathered guards outside, he smiled.
"You monster, you can't escape today." Qianlong mustered up his courage again and put Heshen in front of him again.
The blue-feathered guards, all highly skilled in martial arts, swarmed in and glared at Suo Chao fiercely. Dense numbers of soldiers from the vanguard camp and the guard camp continued to gather and rushed towards the palace at a rapid speed.
Thousands of elite Qing soldiers stood outside, sharpening their weapons. Suo Chao didn't even consider this small force. As for summoning the army from World D, it was a complete overkill. Unless he wanted to launch a coup, he'd have to clean up the mess and wouldn't be able to return to the Han Dynasty anytime soon.
"Sweep away the enemy!" Suo Chao took out the Nine-Glory Thunder Spear and flashed outside the hall. He used the second move of the Nine-Absolute Spear Technique, and the surrounding Qing soldiers were repelled with a single blow, falling to the ground one after another with serious injuries.
Suo Chao's fighting power was not something these Eight Banner soldiers could contend with, and those so-called Imperial Palace masters were no match for him either. With just one move of the "Replace the Stars" technique, Qianlong could be taken down instantly.
"Someone come! Protect the emperor!" Seeing that the thieves were highly skilled in martial arts, Qianlong felt a surge of crisis and was so scared that he quickly hid behind a screen, with a fat Heshen standing in front of him.
"Your Majesty, this Taoist priest has great magical powers. Perhaps the image in the sky is not groundless. We can negotiate," Heshen suggested, unwilling to die. He was half-believing and half-doubting his future, and his loyalty to Emperor Qianlong was no longer so steadfast.
"My dear minister, my Qing Dynasty is invincible, how could it perish? Capture the thieves quickly. Those who fear the enemy and are afraid of fighting should have their entire clans exterminated." Qianlong said.
Qianlong's imperial power was still quite intimidating. The palace guards fearlessly rushed towards Suo Chao, and the dense barrage of swords, spears and arrows came at them like an overwhelming force.
"King Kong is indestructible!"
Suo Chao wanted to test his limits and blocked all the attacks with a single move of Vajra Indestructibility. Suo Chao was filled with rage and wanted to kidnap Emperor Qianlong, but he was unexpectedly attacked by a fierce general.
"Don't hurt my lord!" A burly general led his troops to attack.
"Who is coming?" Suo Chao was very surprised. This man was quite interesting.
"Agui!" Upon hearing that something had happened in the palace, the iron general Agui rushed to provide reinforcements.
Suo Chao didn't know much about the famous generals of the Qianlong era, but he did know a little about Fu Kang'an, Agui, and Fuheng. With Agui joining, the Imperial Guards' battle formation became stronger, but they were still unable to stop Suo Chao's spearhead.
"Cough cough cough cough!!"
"Your Majesty, retreat quickly! The bandits are too strong to be defeated." Agui was shot and said in horror.
After the Jinchuan Campaign, Agui returned to Beijing to resume his duties. It should have been a glorious day, but he unexpectedly encountered such a powerful enemy, and his life or death was in danger.
Suo Chao ignored Agui and used a trick of changing things to move behind Qianlong.
"Unparalleled! Sword Domain: Dimensional Space."
Qianlong and Heshen were stunned, having arrived in the D world inexplicably, and were at a loss. Suo Chao did not give any explanation and suppressed the two men first.
As the saying goes, a thief never leaves empty-handed. He took a day trip to the harem and sent all of Emperor Qianlong's beauties and treasures to World D. After completing all this, he summoned the return portal and immediately returned to the front line of Qingzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The disappearance of Emperor Qianlong and his concubines shocked the entire Qing court. To stabilize the situation, Emperor Jiaqing ascended the throne early and concealed the bizarre events of that day.
