A parallel world of the Republic of China.
The clouds in the sky gradually stopped raining, the dark clouds dispersed, and the moon came out.
Su Qing looked at Chizuru, Siyan and Ikkyu who were in negative status.
He was wearing glasses and looked like a bespectacled man. He was also wearing the iconic long gown of the Republic of China era.
The one with a pale face, wearing a bright yellow Taoist robe and a thick beard must be Qianzuru.
The old man with white beard and white eyebrows, who looks very much like Wu Ma, is the monk Ikkyu.
Apart from the three of them, the camp was in a mess, with dead bodies everywhere.
This isn't like in the movies, where they just let a few extras lie there and call it a day.
There were corpses everywhere, broken arms and limbs, and blood flowing like a river.
That is to say, Su Qing had been on the battlefield last time at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he had a strong psychological endurance.
Otherwise, I would have vomited all over the place.
Miraculously, the annoying Minister Wu and the young prince Daiqing are still alive.
It was the rat-tail braids of the two men that made Su Qing very unhappy.
"go!"
He flicked his fingers and a sword energy came out, forcibly cutting off the braids of the two men.
"Woo woo, my braids"
The little brother burst into tears.
"Cry again and I'll chop off your head!"
Su Qing glared at him and said coldly.
He has no good feelings towards these old people.
"My little ancestor, don't cry, don't cry."
Minister Wu hugged the little prince and comforted him softly, but he was silent.
Although he appears arrogant and domineering, he is very good at reading people's faces and currying favor with the powerful.
Just now, Xiao Yichen and his three friends fought with the old zombie for a long time, but not a single hair was removed.
As soon as Su Qing arrived, he easily beat the old zombie to ashes.
And just now he cut off the braids of two people with a snap of his fingers, which shows how powerful this person is.
Facing such a powerful person, how could he dare to offend him casually? Is he afraid of losing his life? "You are..."
Taoist Qianhe covered his chest and barely managed to stand up.
Siyan and Ikkiu's injuries were slightly less serious, but their faces were also a little pale.
The three of them supported each other and came to Su Qing, looking at him curiously.
His attire was completely different from the person he was at that moment, he was tall and handsome.
Watching the three of them approaching, they were calm and composed, without any restraint at all.
He seems a bit like Xiao Yichen, like a young man from a wealthy family who has seen the world.
"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Yichen's friend, my name is Su Qing."
Su Qing nodded and greeted the three people.
"Hey, my two uncles, Master Ikkyu, how are you, are you all right?"
Xiao Yichen played with the sniper rifle for a while and tried to pull the trigger, but it was no use; no bullet could be fired.
He turned around and saw Qianhe and the other two, and hurried over.
"Brother Su, why can't I use your gun?"
He returned the sniper rifle to Su Qing and complained in a low voice.
"Since you have recognized the master, no one else can use it except me."
Su Qing put the sniper rifle back into his personal space and answered.
It’s not about recognizing the master by dripping blood, but recognizing the master by energy.
When Su Qing got the gun, he filled it with energy, and only he could use this gun.
"Okay, so that's how it is."
Xiao Yichen originally wanted to fire a few shots for fun, but had to give up after hearing this.
"Much better now. Fortunately you guys are here, otherwise I would have died here."
"But the old prince didn't even leave his body behind. My trip was in vain."
He is worthy of being called Taoist Priest Qianhe, the pioneer of the Taoist altar, and the great general of Maoshan.
"I'm fine. I just need to rest for two days."
The four-eyed Taoist priest waved his hand, looked at Qianhe, and said, "It's good that we dealt with the old zombie. At least we didn't cause any big trouble."
"Amitabha."
Master Ikkyu chanted the Buddha's name.
"Brother Xiao, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
After dealing with the old zombie, Xiao Yichen's mission was completed, and Su Qing felt reluctant to leave.
He has no interest in this world, so he might as well go back early.
"Brother Su, are you in such a hurry? Why don't you come over to my place and sit down for a while?"
Xiao Yichen was stunned, and quickly said, "Let me show my hospitality as a host."
It hasn't even been a quarter of an hour since I arrived here. I should at least have a cup of hot tea before I go back.
"No, no, you guys should go back and rest early, I'm leaving now."
Su Qing waved his hand, clicked on the time-travel function, and chose to return to Earth.
"Buzz"
A white light flashed and disappeared on the spot.
"Fuck!"
Siyan, Chizuru, and Ikkiu cursed at the same time.
They didn't notice how Su Qing came before, but this time they saw it clearly.
It was night in the Republic of China, but it became day when we returned to Earth.
The autumn sunshine is cool and pleasant, and it feels warm on the body.
After returning to Earth, Su Qing received 100 points for completing the mission.
"It's still more comfortable to do this kind of task!"
Sitting on the sofa, Su Qing lit a cigarette and said secretly.
This mission was completed the fastest.
It only took about ten minutes. He fired a shot to kill the enemy and left immediately!
One hundred points are in hand, it's so fast! Open the chat group and enter the live broadcast room: "It's over? It's too fast!"
"It was like a flash of lightning, and then, snap, it was gone!"
"It's not satisfying. It's too not satisfying. I thought it would last three to five hundred rounds."
"Coach, I want to report him. He cheated and showed no martial ethics. He even fired a gun!"
Seeing that Su Qing had returned to Earth, the group members felt unsatisfied at all.
So you really came here to complete a mission. You just ran away after firing a shot, instead of staying to chat?
In the live broadcast room, after Su Qing left, Xiao Yichen and others were cleaning up the mess.
Qianhe's trip was in vain, but fortunately she saved her life, which was a blessing in disguise.
The four disciples in the east, south, west and north are still alive, which is pretty good.
Siyan and Ikkyu came to help and solved the problem, and everyone was happy.
Only Minister Wu and the young prince were left, trembling with fear.
What should they do? After discussing it, they decided to continue to ask Taoist Master Qianhe and his disciples to escort them to the capital.
So, Master Qianhe and his apprentice continued on their journey with the two old men and youngsters.
Siyan and his men cleaned up the corpses on the ground, burning those that needed to be burned and burying those that needed to be buried.
"Everyone, this live broadcast is about to end. See you next time."
After finishing all this, it was almost dawn. Xiao Yichen looked at the live camera and said goodbye to everyone.
Everyone said goodbye to him and left the live broadcast room contentedly.
"Buzz"
Then, everyone’s eyes went dark and the live broadcast officially ended.
Soon, the virtual screen automatically switched back to the chat group panel.
“A wonderful day has come to an end!”
"No, it's just the beginning!"
"That's right, our time flows at a different speed. It's already dark where I am."
After the live broadcast room was closed, the group members started chatting.
"Hey, brothers, there is news from the Qing Dynasty. Let me see what it is?"
"Good boy, after half a year of trouble, there is finally a result. Guess who is the big winner?"
At this time, Xu Huaping finally got the news from the north and immediately told the group about it.
"Big winner? Oh? I remember now!"
"Last time you caused a big disturbance in the capital and killed Ma Kangzi, then the princes and the eight banner leaders started a huge fight."
"The results are out now? Then who is the winner? Don't keep us in suspense, Sister Xu."
After seeing what Xu Huaping said, Xie Yuanshan thought about it and finally remembered what she said.
Among Kang Mazi's sons, the most capable one was the fourth son, Yinzhen, but he was killed by Xu Huaping with a sword.
Now that Kang Mazi is dead, the princes are fighting for the throne, and the leaders of the Eight Banners have also intervened. It is hard to say who will win.
How can one guess? Guess what!
"That's right, why are you keeping me in suspense? You are not being honest, old lady."
Xiao Yichen had just returned to Taoist Master Siyan’s house. He said goodbye to Siyan and returned to his room.
Seeing that Xu Huaping was keeping people in suspense, he said with great dissatisfaction.
"To be honest, I can't remember the names of those princes. I only remember Yun or something."
Li Mingda shook his head. He couldn't even remember the name, so there was no way he could guess.
"I don't understand even more."
Qin Xiaoxian, who was born in Blue Star, didn't feel anything.
"It's not Yun or something, it's Yin or something. It's just that after Yongzheng ascended the throne, the other princes changed Yin to Yun to avoid taboos."
Thanks to the various pigtail dynasty harem romance TV dramas, Wang Defa still remembers this.
"Then Sister Xu, do you want me to guess or not?"
Jiang Sichen rolled his eyes. How boring!
"I don't want to guess either, so just tell me the answer, young lady."
Su Qing hates this kind of boring trick the most. If you want to say it, say it quickly. If you don’t want to say it, forget it.
"Hey, you guys are so boring."
"Then I'll just say it straight, it's the Eighth Prince Yinsi."
"According to the information sent back by the secret agent, when I arrested Kang Mazi, the Crown Prince Yinreng who was present became the scapegoat and was eliminated from the game of seizing the throne."
"The eldest prince Yinzhi wanted to fight for the throne, but unfortunately he was a bastard, so he had no qualifications and could not get the support of the Manchu nobles."
"Once the Prince's Party was abolished, the Fourth Master's Party was leaderless. After a fierce struggle, the throne finally fell to the Eighth Master."
"As soon as Lao Ba ascended the throne, he couldn't wait to announce that he would personally lead an army of 300,000 to the south, hoping to recover the lost territory in the south of the Yangtze River and bring back Kang Mazi's body."
Seeing that no one was cooperating, Xu Huaping could only announce the answer helplessly.
She broke out of the capital in April of the 4407th year of the Yellow Emperor's calendar and proclaimed herself King Qian in May. Now it is the beginning of November and the year is coming to an end.
In other words, the chaos in the north for more than half a year was like raising a Gu, and it finally bore fruit.
During the past six months, the Daqian Dynasty has been changing with each passing day, and has ushered in earth-shaking changes in many fields such as military, industry, and agriculture.
The new territory has a new look, and all kinds of new things appear on this ancient land in the south.
Queen Xu Huaping of Daqian was involved in military affairs, agriculture, and industry. She was busy every day, but she lived a very fulfilling life.
On the other hand, the situation in the north is not so good.
To put it simply, it means raising Gu!
After Kang Mazi's death, the eldest prince Yinzhi, the crown prince Yinreng, the third prince Yinzhi, the eighth prince Yinsi, the ninth prince Yin'er, the tenth prince Yin, the thirteenth prince Yinxiang, the fourteenth prince Yinzhen, and the leaders of the Eight Banners, together with the leaders of the Eight Banners, hastily built a cenotaph for Kang Mazi and began to compete for the throne.
Especially after Xu Huaping proclaimed himself King Qian, their fight became even more fierce.
They were always thinking that after seizing the throne, they would lead troops to conquer the south of the Yangtze River and recover lost territory.
Why? First, to avenge the late emperor, second, to recover lost territory, and third, because both the money bag and the grain bag were gone.
There is no need to say much about revenge and recovering lost territory, let’s just talk about the purse and food bags.
After the Jingkang Incident in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Jiumei proclaimed herself emperor in Lin'an, and the center of gravity of the world gradually shifted from the north to the south.
Since then, during the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, for hundreds of years, the bulk of the world's taxes came from the south.
The Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions in particular were regarded as money bags by emperors of all dynasties.
Whenever you are out of money, just ask the wealthy businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for help and you will definitely get some money.
As for the grain bag, it was even simpler. In terms of wealth, how could it compare with Jiangnan? Oh, the black soil in the Northeast, which was later known as the northern granary, was still a barren land for exiled criminals at that time.
By the way, most of the beauties in the world also come from Jiangnan.
Therefore, this southern region was seized by Xu Huaping, who established the Daqian Dynasty. The Manchu nobles not only lost their money bags and docile women, but also their most important grain bags.
Lack of money, lack of food, and even more lack of women!
Therefore, no matter who sits on the throne, the lost territory must be taken back.
Otherwise, is this half of the Qing Dynasty still my Qing Dynasty? That’s outrageous!
After more than half a year of fighting, the battle for the throne finally came to an end.
The eighth prince Yinsi successfully seized the right to inherit the throne and ascended the throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony on October 28, the 48th year of the Kangxi reign.
The reign title was changed to Lianzhi, and it would start from the first month of the next year, which would be the first year of Lianzhi.
After all, he was previously Prince Heshuo Lian, so it makes sense that his reign title contained the word "Lian".
At the same time, Yinsi issued an order to the Eight Banners and the Green Camp to prepare for war. He wanted to lead the army in person to recover Jiangnan and bring back the remains of the late emperor! The spy got the news and immediately sent it back to Nanjing.
On the third day after the Eighth Prince ascended the throne, which was this morning, Xu Huaping received the accurate news.
This time, the Qing Dynasty mobilized all the Eight Banners and Green Camp soldiers, totaling 300,000 people, and gathered near the capital.
They are just waiting for the order from the new emperor, and they can march south at any time to fight against the rebellious forces of Daqian.
"My goodness, the Eighth Lord wants to lead the army in person right after he ascended the throne?"
"You mean you're preparing for war?"
Su Qing heard this, his expression became serious and he said in surprise.
Xu Huaping had said before that she planned to develop for three years before considering the Northern Expedition.
Unexpectedly, even though she didn't resort to force, the other party couldn't help themselves first.
"Three hundred thousand? That's not a big problem. I remember you have dozens of followers."
"Don't even mention 300,000. Even if it's 3 million or 30 million, it won't pose a threat to you."
"You don't even need to do anything yourself, your followers alone can sweep the world."
It’s just a war, Xie Yuanshan is not worried about Xu Huaping at all.
"If you ask me, Sister Xu should have taken the initiative to attack and get rid of the Qing Dynasty. Why keep it?"
"The sooner you unify the world, the sooner the people in the north can enjoy a happy life."
Li Mingda suggested: "Since you are going to develop Jiangnan as well, it doesn't seem to be a big deal to develop the north as well."
"Yes, that makes sense. We have to fight anyway, so the sooner we fight, the better."
"Fight, fight, and unify the world as soon as possible."
"Miss Xu, remember to broadcast live when the battle begins. I have never seen a real war."
"The main thing is, I have nothing to do anyway."
“You can have this!”
Other group members also discussed this.
"Well, since the Manchu Tartars are so impatient to die, I will show them mercy and send them on their way."
"I have decided to take the initiative and I don't need to bring any soldiers. I will just take my forty-five followers and make a quick decision."
"Let's get rid of the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible, so that we don't have to worry about these stinky shits all the time."
"Moreover, my position as the King of Qian should be promoted to the next level, and I will become Her Majesty the Queen of Daqian."
"Without further delay, I will set off now."
"Live broadcast, on, on, on!"
Seeing that what everyone said made sense, Xu Huaping instantly changed her mind.
Strike first and gain the upper hand! (End of this chapter)
