Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Zhu Hai's eyes gradually brightened. The recent tragedy had already made him lose confidence in the entire court and become disheartened. If it weren't for Brother Ye, he would have died long ago. What else could a court like this do for him? If the ruler is not upright, the ministers will defect to other countries!

However, Zhu Hai was only an eighteen-year-old boy after all. How could he have the courage to resist? Moreover, the brothers around him were all Qing soldiers. Wouldn't he be harming them?

It’s different now. Brother Ye has stood up. It can be said that Brother Ye’s words are law among the brothers, and he is the final word. Not to mention rebellion, even if he leads them to jump into the frying pan, they will definitely not hesitate!

Gao Qi sucked his teeth, feeling a bit of toothache, and said, "General, are you coming out of the Great Wall this time to rebel? If that's the case, then we've come here. This place outside the Great Wall is the birthplace of the Manchus and the place where their ancestral veins are. If you ask me, we shouldn't go to Heilongjiang first, but go directly to Fengtian to dig up Nurhaci's ancestral tomb and cut off their feng shui dragon veins..."

Liu Ye's nose almost got crooked with anger. What on earth was this? Digging up someone's ancestral grave? This guy actually came up with this idea!

"Get lost, you idiot! Is your brain made of shit? Who said I'm going to rebel now? Even if I want to rebel, I have to wait until you, the military commander, hold great power and wait for the right opportunity! This time, we are going to fight the Russian devils for real! Damn, they have already reached our yard, and we are just going to tolerate them? Bullshit! I won't tolerate their stinky habits! If they dare to come to my house to steal things, I will chop off his hands. If they dare to rape my sisters, I will cut off his descendants! This is not for the court, but for our elders and compatriots. This land is ours, and we won't give it to anyone who takes it! Do you understand?"

Gao Qi chuckled and replied, "I understand, I understand, General. If I still don't understand what you're saying, then I'm a complete fool! If someone jumps into the yard to steal our things, they'll be greeted with sticks and kitchen knives. Damn Russian devils, kill them! But, General, I still want to know when we're going to rebel. Damn it, I really don't want to fight the Tartars. If we have to, we'll follow you. When you become emperor, we brothers will at least get the position of governor or governor-general, right?"

Gao Qi was so shameless that he destroyed everyone's gloomy mood with just a few words.

Zhu Hai said, "Brother Ye, my life belongs to you. As long as you say a word, I will never say another word. Even if you ask me to go back to the capital to assassinate the emperor, I will go!"

Several other people also shouted. The wildness of this group of people had long been trained by Liu Ye. They were very bold and wanted to rebel. It was exciting just thinking about it!

Liu Ye replied calmly, "Okay, the most important thing now is to drive away those damn Russian devils and make sure they don't dare to covet our beautiful land again in the short term! As for rebellion, you should keep this word in your hearts for now. If you really want to rebel, you have to wait until all of you have become military officers. Then we will have great power in our hands, overthrowing Manchuria and rebuilding the world. It will be easy. Now, with only my brother and a few of you, what can we do? Won't we be chased everywhere? Have you seen the Nian bandits? Have you seen the Taiping rebels? Their defeat is inevitable. They are a lesson for us. If we want to ascend the throne of the emperor, we can't do it with passion and force. We have to rely on our brains, our brains! Do you understand?"

Several people nodded, and Liu Ye continued, "You are all my brothers in life and death. I hadn't originally planned to tell you about this; but Xiaohai has been silent these days, and he has a lot on his mind. Xiaohai is the youngest, and the pressure of the big mountain is all on him. I can only speak out and enlighten Xiaohai. As the saying goes, a gentleman's revenge is never too late! In ten years, Xiaohai, the entire Qing Dynasty will be destroyed by your hands. How can you not avenge your great hatred?"

Gao Qi shouted, "Don't worry, General. Xiao Hai's affairs are naturally ours. Even if the sky falls, we brothers will carry it together. Damn it, even if we rebel now, with our brothers' abilities, we can still drive the old emperor out of Beijing! Fortunes will turn, and it will be my turn next year! Why do they always get to sit on the throne?"

Gao Qi's loud voice finally caused trouble. "What's the surname Ai? What are you guys talking about so excitedly?"

He Qimou pushed open the door, walked in and asked.

He Qimou inspected outside, comforted the soldiers, turned around, and just happened to hear Gao Qi's voice. He couldn't hear it clearly outside the door, and felt a little suspicious. How come he was so full of energy in such a short while, while he was still feeling unwell?

Liu Ye glared at Gao Qi fiercely. This kid is a troublemaker. He must keep an eye on him from now on! Otherwise, he will be killed by this kid sooner or later!

The others looked at each other in bewilderment. Who knew how much He Qimou had heard? You know, every single one of them was a lie worth losing his head! Although He Qimou had a good relationship with the military commander and got along well with the others, rebellion meant the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire family. If this guy heard and believed everything, he would send a secret report and everyone's heads would be chopped off. He would at least be able to sit in the high position of the military commander! People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs, and they don't know what they are doing!

Everyone turned their eyes to Liu Ye.

Liu Ye's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, "Brother Qimou, you're back? How's the situation outside?"

He Qimou smiled bitterly and said, "What else can we do? The wind and waves are so strong, the ship is shaking violently. Most of us are from the north, how can we bear it? We are all vomiting so much that we can hardly stand up straight..."

Gao Qi shouted, "Damn it! If this continues, what's the point of fighting? The vomiting alone will kill us..."

With just a few words, He Qimou's attention was successfully attracted.

Liu Ye replied, "It doesn't matter. We still have time. Fortunately, we only have two and a half days. Once we reach the shore, we can rest for two days to recover our strength and send out scouts to investigate the enemy situation. The things I gave you are now ready for practical use. Don't wait until you've mastered them by heart and then become clumsy in using them. I don't want nerds!"

He Qimou smiled bitterly and said, "That's the only way. Ye Zi, we've already spent more than a day. How far are we from Qingjin?"

Liu Ye looked at the endless water and clouds in the distance and replied, "Well, it's still early. At least there's still a thousand miles to go. You all go down and get some sleep to replenish your energy. I'll go look around. When you wake up, our ship will be almost at the shore."
