Chapter 99 The prince is poisoned, and the enemy is wiped out in the west
The sun was shining in the sky, and in the Bamboo City across the river from Awa City in Myanmar, Yongli had a worried look on his face, and beside him were Mu Tianbo and other nobles.
Driven by Zhu Yongxing, the wheel of history has deviated from its original track. The Ming army did not repeatedly invade Myanmar, resulting in a situation where the two sides faced each other at war and resented each other. The war situation in the Ming and Qing Dynasties changed again, and the Ming army occupied Yunnan Province.
Most of them did not show signs of decadence; without the pressure and bluffing of the Qing army, there was no fierce conflict within Myanmar over how to deal with Yongli and the small court, and there was no palace coup. Myanmar was still
Mangda is in power.
Because of this, the situation of Yongli and the small court in Myanmar was much better than in history. Myanmar was still unclear about the final outcome of the Ming and Qing competitions, and because it was afraid of the Ming army in Yunnan Province, it was in a wait-and-see mode and did not completely offend the Southern Ming Dynasty.
The exiled regime. But it still blocked Yongli and the small imperial court's external communications, preventing them from communicating with the Ming army in Yunnan Province.
Today, the Burmese authorities sent someone to deliver a batch of newly harvested rice. It was originally a happy thing, but something unexpected happened. After the personnel confusion, Yongli and others discovered that the prince had somehow been infected by some poisonous insect.
Bite.
At first, even the prince didn't pay much attention. He just said that a black spider suddenly appeared in the thatched house and bit his arm. But not long after, the prince felt a burning heat spreading throughout his body, and the wound began to become red and swollen.
The only remaining imperial doctor in the small court applied herbal medicine to the prince, but it was unable to stop the spread of redness and swelling around the wound. At the same time, yellow water began to flow from the center of the wound. The imperial doctor gave the prince another medicine to clear away heat and detoxify, but the prince shouted loudly.
He groaned and said there was fire burning in his mouth and nostrils.
After drinking a pot of water, the prince's condition did not improve at all. He began to tremble all over, and his teeth chattered as if he had suffered ice shock. His mouth was wide open, his chest heaved violently, and then his whole body convulsed.
"My son, my son!" Queen Wang cried sadly, but the imperial doctor was helpless.
The prince fell into a coma and kept moaning in his coma. He occasionally called for his mother.
"I don't know what kind of poisonous insect it is, but the Burmese natives should know it." Mu Tianbo, who was waiting outside the thatched house, suddenly stood up and said with a frown: "I will go to the Burmese official and ask him to quickly find a Burmese doctor for treatment.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Yongli looked at this loyal minister, felt grateful in his heart, and said: "I'd like to thank you for your help. Tell the people of Burma that if you can cure the prince, I will give you a heavy reward."
Mu Tianbo smiled bitterly and took the order. Originally, he was extremely reluctant to deal with Burmese officials because the King of Burma had sent someone to invite him to cross the river to participate in the Burmese New Year Festival. But when he arrived, the Burmese monarchs and ministers did not
He was allowed to wear the clothes of the Ming Dynasty, and he was forced to put on national clothes and go with the envoys of the small Burmese state to the King of Burma's Golden Palace with courtesy.
According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, Mu, the Duke of Guizhou who guarded Yunnan, had jurisdiction over the chieftains of Yunnan and handled the affairs of surrounding vassal countries on behalf of the empire. His manner was very noble. But at this time, it was reversed and he had to wear bare feet.
You can imagine the distress in his heart when he surrendered to the king of Burma in a foreign national costume. For the safety of the emperor, Mu Tianbo endured the humiliation. But Yang Zai, the Minister of Rites, appointed the national seal as a passerby and impeached Mu Tianbo for losing his dignity and humiliating the country. I really don't know what to say.
But now, because of the poisonous injury of the prince, Mu Tianbo had to condescend again and negotiate with Myanmar officials, or rather beg, asking Myanmar to send doctors for diagnosis and treatment.
By dusk, purple spots had appeared all over the prince's body. His neck was stiff, and his body was as hot as hot coals. The doctor sent by the Burmese side staggered home under the leadership of an official.
He was a doctor rather than a wizard. He turned a blind eye to the purple spots and swelling on the prince that had begun to erode and ooze black blood. He danced around the bed for a while, ringing the bell and chanting curses.
The comatose prince suddenly woke up and kept shouting, but no one knew what he said. His eyes were wide open, but he didn't recognize the mother next to him. There was a look of fear in his eyes, as if he was watching
Some monster attacked him.
The doctor, oh, the wizard finally started to administer the medicine. He took out an unknown fruit, crushed it, poured the smelly juice into a bowl, mixed it with water and forced it into the prince's mouth.
The prince suddenly began to have tonic spasms, and his whole body shook violently, like a dead leaf shaking in the wind. His eyes suddenly widened, and finally he sat up straight and stretched out his hands as if to welcome something.
Then he suddenly fell sideways...

To the west of the water, Guiji Village.
The originally peaceful and peaceful village was now reduced to ashes, with killed and burnt corpses everywhere. In the pine forest on the well ridge, the women's corpses were stripped naked, and they were ravaged to death by an unknown number of animals.
.A baby was nailed to a tree with a short knife, and an old father with a long beard was hanged from a high tree, with dozens of feather arrows inserted into his body...
Hundreds of soldiers of the Shuixi Army who returned to the mainland were also looking for their relatives in Dazhai. Once they found them, they would beat their chests, punch trees, and chop stones with knives. Some were so grief-stricken that they thought of
Kill yourself.
The real name of Mu Zhuo of the Guiji Department was Mide Amo, but according to the Shuixi custom, all the leaders of the department were named after the name of the department, so he was still called Guiji.
Guiji Village is fifteen miles away from Azatun. It was raided and fell by the Qing army yesterday. The reason is that they underestimated the cruelty of the war and the Eight Banners soldiers, and the work of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness was rough. In addition,
The Guizong Department, which was responsible for the defense and early warning in the northwest, was defeated in one battle without even issuing a beacon alarm.
"You bastard, it's all your fault." Mu Zhuo Gui gathered and tied up his dead wife's dress. After holding his wife's body and crying for a while, he suddenly saw Mu Zhuo Gui Zong and immediately pounced on him like a mad tiger.
They went up and started fighting, "Why didn't you stop the Tatars? Why didn't you set off fireworks? Bastard, you traitor, I'm going to kill you..."
Guizong was originally an incompetent person who had been squandered by drunkenness and sex. He was already frightened by the attack of the Qing army, and now this tragic scene made him even more frightened. When they came to fight and scold him, he felt that he had no words to explain, so how could he dare to fight back?
, just crying and running around.
There is a lot of drought and a lot of people are in chaos. This is the situation in Shuixi. The forty-eight tribes seem to have more troops, but they are proud of themselves when they win. They complain to each other when they lose. Moreover, when they cooperate in fighting, the Mu Zhuo of each tribe is often selfish.
For personal use, unexpected omissions often occur.
Because of this, Shen Chenquan suggested that An Kun transfer soldiers from various ministries to form a new army to get rid of the control of the leaders of each ministry. An Kun agreed to this suggestion. There were two considerations, in order to adapt to the needs of internal and external troubles.
Internally, with the increasing power of his cousin Genju Chaga, An Kun must be worried, and he must also deal with the duplicitous Mu Zhuo internally; externally, the Qing army's invasion of Shuixi is naturally a
The entire Shuixi mobilization force was able to compete with them, but as Ju Mu, it was undoubtedly beneficial and harmless to personally control a new force with both virtues and abilities.
Each of the forty-eight divisions mobilized 200 people, but currently only forty divisions have followed the order, forming an army of 8,000 people, known as the Xuanwei Prefecture Army. In addition to the Ming army, the officers are the original Xuanwei Prefecture Guards
of guards.
The guards of Xuanwei Mansion were originally an elite force of 500 people, half of whom were children and slaves of the Ju Mu family, and the other half were children selected from the other forty-seven tribes. Throughout the generations, Ju Mu regarded the guards as a training force.
A school for the children of nobles in various ministries. Many of the disciples served in the guards for three to five years and after returning to their headquarters, they generally became generals leading troops. They even became Mu Zhuo of the First Division.
As for the guards who are slaves, they can serve in the guards for a long time. They can also retire to do other things, but they have never become generals leading troops. However, this does not prevent slaves from having the same superb martial arts and skills as the nobles.
Intelligence, some slaves may even possess extraordinary courage.
On the issue of selecting generals, An Kun accepted the opinions of his uncle An Ruding and his wife Lu Tianxiang, and did not send noble children to serve. Instead, he chose those with low status, but they were the guards he had promoted since childhood.
Although the Qing army in Guizhou was transferred back and forth and was in chaos for a while because of Wu Sangui's fake letter. However, the formation of this new army was still short, and now, it had to face its first fierce battle.
It was almost dusk. The Qing army that had committed the atrocities of massacre stopped advancing and camped in a small Yi village to rest.
This Yi village is surrounded by continuous small stone peaks, with dark green walls and green walls, which are exquisite and cute. Every house in the Yi village has its door open, most of the furniture and belongings in the house have been moved away, and there is no trace of anyone.
At the end of the day, the Qing army was subjected to numerous harassment and attacks, including mines, crossbows, muskets, and stones, and was tortured in the elusive karst mountainous area. In this complex terrain, it was almost impossible to detect the enemy even at a very close distance.
Chase, even unable to fight back.
Qingjiang Adahaha Fanshabu can climb up and look out. Here is a wide lawn, with a clear stream crawling on the green grass like a silver line, with yellow, blue, white and red flowers blooming all over the place. The clouds are shining down from the sky.
A ray of sunset shone on the flowering pear orchard next to the village, showing a rouge color.
The scenery was nice, but Shabuke had no intention of admiring it. He felt a little regretful and worried. What he regretted was that after massacring a village, he was confused by the illusion of the Shuixi soldiers being vulnerable. Instead of retreating quickly, he was killing and looting.
Under the impulse, he continued to go deeper. The next battle, or harassment and attack, made him feel worried. He had experienced this annoying tactic in Yunnan Province.
But now I regret or worry, but I cannot travel in areas with complex terrain at night. Shabuke can only lead more than a thousand men and horses to survive the night, and then continue to retreat after dawn. I don’t know where Jinhun’s men and horses are.
It shouldn't be far away, right? Shabu Ke looked around for a long time before returning to the village. Out of caution, he made a relatively detailed arrangement.
The enemy has already fallen into his shell! On a mountain peak a few miles away from the village, Chen Xiangpeng saw the Qing soldiers entering the Yi village in the dim night, and showed a sneer.
"Immediately send a message to all directions, call all nearby troops, and gather here." Chen Xiangpeng put away his telescope and said loudly under the envious eyes of the Yi generals.
Nazi Mukui nodded and repeated the order loudly. They did not have many people, only more than two thousand. They wanted to eliminate the more than a thousand Qing soldiers in the village, but they were obviously too weak to do so. Zhao Fu led another two thousand soldiers. While restraining and harassing another group of Qing troops, they were unable to arrive in time. The main force of the government army led by Pi Xiong was defending at Azatun, less than twenty miles away. If they arrived quickly, plus the surrounding local soldiers, , there is still hope to annihilate the Qing army.
It was a black moon, the sky was dark, and visibility was extremely poor. After dinner, the Qing troops had been tired from a day of marching and small battles, so they all lay down to rest. Many Qing soldiers had just fallen asleep, and suddenly lights appeared on the surrounding mountains. Lanterns, torches, horns, bells, and bells were blaring one after another, and the shouts of death were endless.
Shabu was able to rob the camp for the Shuixi Army, hurriedly dressed himself up, and led his army to prepare for battle. However, the gongs, drums, and horns stopped ringing after a while, and all the torches were extinguished, but no attack from the Shuixi Army was seen. The Qing army was on guard for a moment, and then finally Go back and rest. Just when they fell asleep, the drums and trumpets sounded again, and the shouts of killing were everywhere. The Qing army got up on guard again, and waited until the noise disappeared, but still no one came to attack.
The commotion continued like this, and the Shuixi soldiers came closer and attacked in small groups, making it difficult for the Qing soldiers to distinguish the real from the fake. The whole night passed in panic and deceit, and they almost couldn't sleep at night.
The night sky began to glow slightly, and the tiny clouds gradually became clear in the gray night sky. At this time, the Shuixi Army's general attack began.
There were no advanced tactics such as detours. More than 8,000 Shuixi troops gathered and attacked Xiaozhai from all directions. As for tactics, it was the human sea tactic, using the absolute advantage of numbers to crush the Eight Banners in this area. In the depression.
The sound of killing inside and outside the village was loud. The Shuixi army came from all directions like a tide. Under the fire of arrows, they pushed down the simple obstacles set up by the Qing army and did not hesitate to leave corpses along the way. Shabu Ke waved his sword. , rode around on war horses to supervise the battle, but there were too many enemies. The west side of the stockade was broken through first. Chen Xiangpeng and Mukuina led the government troops to rush into the stockade. The north side of the stockade was broken through, and the local soldiers gathered to kill them. His eyes were red, and he only had the thought of revenge in his heart, so he risked his life to fight with the Qing soldiers.
If it were on flat ground, the Eight Banners of Manchuria could defeat several times or even ten times more enemies. But in this depression, in the battle in the village, it was difficult to show its strength. There were groups of soldiers and arrows everywhere. Arrows and javelins flew randomly, swords and guns were used simultaneously, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. Although the Qing army was highly skilled in combat, they were outnumbered. They were constantly separated in the melee, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers.
Shabu Ke wielded a big sword and was unstoppable. He attacked from the east to the right, but he gradually lost control of the army. The soldiers around him also kept falling off their horses and were chopped into pieces by the swarming soldiers. Everywhere he saw were water and west soldiers. , the war situation was irreversible, Shabu Ke had no choice but to break through the encirclement under the protection of his own soldiers.
The helmet was knocked off, the armor was cut open, blood continued to flow out, and the war horse fell twice. Shabu Ke once again put on a soldier's horse, hoarsely, like a hungry wolf, madly He slashed and killed, forcing the Shuixi soldiers blocking the road to retreat one after another, and those who could not escape died under his sword one by one.
Finally breaking out of the siege, Shabuke was left with only five or six soldiers beside him. He panicked and rushed eastward into the mountains. The rising sun dazzled his eyes, and he could vaguely see a flat plain ahead. Shabuke worked hard. He ran even faster.
Unexpectedly, although the terrain is flat, there is a deep gorge in the middle, which is only more than ten feet wide and dozens of feet deep. Even in the daytime, it is difficult to see this deep gorge from a little distance. The terrain is like this, and there are many dangers. How can Shabu understand what is going on? Under his leadership, five or six soldiers are galloping like flying. When they get close, it is too late to stop, and both men and horses fall into the depths. Jian, leaving only faintly echoing exclamations and horse neighing. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
