Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

This is an era of darkness and weakness, an era of change, and also an era of a dying court and a dying dragon.

In 1859, the ninth year of Emperor Xianfeng's reign, the year before that useless emperor passed away, the year when the Taiping Rebellion in Jiangnan was at its most violent, and the year when the British and French forces came east and launched the Opium War again!

Dagu Fort.

A young artilleryman lazily lay beside the cannon, basking in the sun, his Qing army uniform was exceptionally neat. This was Liu Ye, a special forces soldier who had just traveled through time and space for a few days.

I'm so damn unlucky that I actually traveled through time. The reason for my travel was so frustrating. I completed a mission and everyone was celebrating for me, but I got drunk by my brothers and came to this era in a daze!

What era was this? The ninth year of Emperor Xianfeng's reign! It was the Second Opium War. The British and French invaders had reached our very doorstep. Not only that, but even Guangzhou had been captured by the Anglo-French forces! Looking at the time now, the second attack on Dagu Fort was only a matter of days! Dagu was completely ravaged, Tianjin was lost, and the last of the Qing's elite cavalry was lost at Baliqiao. It was this time that the Qing Dynasty had the British, French, American, and Russian powers riding on its necks and pissing on it!

As a special forces soldier, I should have been able to show off my skills, but, God, could you please give me a general? Instead, I've become a rookie. With the exception of the little guy in my bunk, everyone else has a higher status than me! How can I survive this? When the British and French warships come, am I supposed to run away with those unfortunate officers?

Depressed! So depressed! Ah, ah, ah...

Liu Ye stood up and roared loudly, scaring away all the birds that were resting on the artillery platform.

At this moment, two Qing soldiers came over and shouted, "Liu Ye, what the hell are you crying about? Do you want to die? Come here and work!"

Liu Ye turned around and saw that it was his own sentry, Duan Qing and Youda, two old veterans. He had heard that these two guys relied on their seniority and had been in the military camp for a long time. They brought a bunch of idle people with them and made trouble everywhere, always bullying the new recruits!

Liu Ye snorted coldly and replied, "Why? I'm off duty today, so there's no work for me."

Duan Qing shouted, "What? You new soldier, I told you to work, so you have to work for me. Clean both of these cannons for me. Damn it, I'm giving you a favor by asking you to do some work! If you dare not behave, I'll beat you to death!"

Duan Qing pointed with his right hand at the two cannons beside him. These were the cannons that they were responsible for. He was too lazy to clean them, so Liu Ye became the unlucky guy who had to do the work.

Liu Ye was so upset that he didn't even bother to pay attention to him.

Liu Ye yelled, "Get lost! Stay away from me and do your own work. Damn it, don't you have hands?"

Duan Qing and Youda's faces turned dark at that moment. Damn it, no new recruit on this artillery position had ever dared to act tough with them. Even the captain had to look at their faces. When was the next new recruit's turn to yell at them?

Duan Qing leaped over and yelled, "You son of a bitch! You dare to act tough with me? I'll teach you a lesson today!"

As he spoke, Duan Qing fired a sky rocket at Liu Ye.

Liu Ye sneered and moved as fast as lightning, grabbing Duan Qing's wrist and holding it tightly in his palm.

Duan Qing was stunned. Huh! He had never thought that this boy would actually dare to fight with him and take his punch!

Duan Qing was just startled when Liu Ye's right arm suddenly tightened and pinched down fiercely. How could Duan Qing withstand Liu Ye's big hand? That was the result of more than ten years of training, both internal and external cultivation. His skills could definitely be said to be top-notch!

Duan Qing screamed miserably and his body immediately went limp. Liu Ye then turned around and threw Duan Qing to the ground.

boom!

Duan Qing was so stunned by the handsome guy that he almost fainted and couldn't get up!

Yoda, who was standing behind him, saw that Duan Qing was defeated by Liu Ye in just two moves. He jumped up and rushed over, shouting, "Boy, you are so rebellious! How dare you attack me?"

As he spoke, Yoda kicked towards him. Liu Ye didn't even look at him, but raised his right foot and kicked towards Yoda's calf!

Bang! The two legs hit each other!

"Ouch!" Yoda felt as if he had kicked a steel plate. A sharp pain came over him, excruciating pain. He screamed and sat down on the ground!

The veterans in the distance gathered around and shouted, "What are you doing? What's going on?"

Seeing the veterans surrounding them, Yoda shouted, "Brothers, this brat actually rebelled and dared to bully us old men! Look at Brother Duan, he's been beaten so badly he can't get up. Beat him! If anything goes wrong, we two brothers will take the responsibility!"

Since ancient times, seniority has been a very important factor in military camps. The old soldiers have always shared a common hatred for the enemy. When they saw that their brothers had suffered losses, they immediately stood up and surrounded them one after another.

At this time, a clear voice came from the side: "What are you doing? I saw it clearly just now. It was clearly those two who relied on their seniority to bully others!"

Everyone looked and saw a handsome Qing soldier standing aside, speaking up for Liu Ye.

One of the veterans kicked him and shouted, "You son of a bitch, it's none of your business. Be careful or we'll get rid of you too!"

The soldier quickly dodged and hid to the side, still trying to defend himself: "Do you still have any law? Are you rebelling? I'm going to find the captain right away!"

Liu Ye shouted coldly, "Xiao Hai, don't go. These guys always give us new recruits trouble. Today I'll teach them a lesson so they won't get carried away in the future!"

Xiao Hai said anxiously: "Brother Ye, there are more of them, you will suffer a loss..."

Liu Ye waved his hand and shouted to the crowd, "Why, don't you want to deal with us? One on one or in a group, it's up to you!"

The old soldiers around looked at each other and thought to themselves, "This kid knocked Duan Qing and Youda down straight away. I'm afraid he really has some martial arts skills. Today, we'll rely on our numbers to take care of him. Even if the higher-ups blame us, we can't hold everyone responsible!"

An old soldier laughed wickedly and said, "Brothers, let's go together and take care of him. We'll see what the boss can do to us then!"

After he finished speaking, more than a dozen veterans rushed forward and surrounded Liu Ye!
