"Oh, it seems that the Machikhans have some tacit understanding with the Kamans. They are making preparations for the invasion here. It seems that they are really planning to kill the empire." Wu Feng's heart moved. He didn't expect that the seemingly quiet Li Qingke actually had contact with the resistance organization in Yue Jing. "I also guessed that the Machihan people would not be so honest. There would definitely be changes, but the specific situation is not accurate enough. That Qingke But do you have a plan to deal with the Machi Khans recruiting and training troops in your country?"
After pondering for a moment, Li Qingke hesitated, but when he thought about it, although these were secrets that could never be leaked to outsiders, Wu Feng was different. Not only did he control hundreds of thousands of troops, but he was also the lover of his three sisters. These situations told him that they would only help the great cause of the restoration of his country in the future. Thinking of this, Li Qingke nodded and said: "The Machihan people control this aspect very strictly. Although we have deployed a lot of people, we still want to Many methods were used, but only a few people were arranged to enter. They all entered the Machikhan navy through other channels. They all know water warfare very well, and the Machikhan people have to rely on them."
"Well, it seems that my Princess Qingke is really beautiful and smart. Even I keep such secrets a secret. If I hadn't asked, I'm afraid Qingke wouldn't have told me." Wu Feng He joked with a smile.
"How often have you asked about Qingke's affairs? Do people know that you are interested in these things far away in the south? The country is ruined and the family is ruined. Mentioning these things every day is just to make people sad. Although we are in Vietnam Beijing has accumulated some strength, but to be honest, if I want to use this strength to overthrow the rule of the Machikhans, it is like hitting an egg against a stone, using a mantis' arm as a chariot. It is simply impossible. I have never thought about using this strength to complete it. The task of restoring the country. They all said that I was too pessimistic, but the reality before us is this. If the current situation continues, in less than ten years, the people of Yue Jing will forget our Li family. Lei Juetian is really It's too insidious. The assimilation policy he implemented in Yue Jing has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the puppets he supported have followed suit. So I don't have much hope for this matter, but I have to do it because of the responsibility. So I don't want Qing Shi Qing to do it. Yun is involved in this matter, I will bear all these annoying things by myself." Li Qingke had a gloomy look on his face, obviously not optimistic about the restoration plan of the country's gentry who were loyal to their families. .
Li Qingshi and Li Qingyun were shocked. Their eldest sister was burdened with too many responsibilities, but she was not as carefree as the two of them. She had to force a smile every day, and they all grabbed Li Qingke's clothes and shouted : "Sister!"
Wu Feng also knew that what Li Qingke said was true. Lei Juetian's steady policies had achieved very good results in Yuejing, Ankun City, Jemelo Kingdom and other places. It should be said that the rule of the Machihan people was here. The rule of several places has been quite stable. It is indeed impossible for the resistance forces in these areas to overthrow the rule of the Machihans without the help of external forces. Of course, if there is the intervention of external forces, that is another matter.
"Qingke, Qingshi, Qingyun, you don't have to be too sad. As long as you are here, there is hope. The Machihan people are not without weaknesses, but the light they show now covers up their weaknesses. Once they are brilliant, After that, many shortcomings and weaknesses will gradually be exposed. Lei Juetian is not a simple person, but he is not a Machihan, but a Tang nationality. I believe there are people who hate and hate him within Machihan. He blindly Adopting a soft and conciliatory policy has certainly temporarily alleviated the conflicts between ethnic groups and classes in the occupied areas, but as for the nobles within the Machihan people, their full support for the Northern Expedition may not just be as simple as the expansion of their country's territory. ? Ankun, the Kingdom of Jemelo, the Kingdom of Yuejing, and now Baling, places like this have been included in the bag of the Macchi Khanate, but they have not received enough benefits. Will they be willing to do so? There are not enough benefits to fill it. Their appetite, even if the powerful Bixili can suppress them now, sooner or later this conflict of interests and needs will break out. By then, if there is external guidance and intervention, I am afraid that the Machikhan people will not be so optimistic." Wu Feng carefully analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the powerful neighbor to the south, and tried hard to cheer up the three girls.
"Brother, when you say that external forces will intervene to guide us, do you mean that your northwest will also intervene to help us?" Li Qingshi smiled sweetly, her temples were fragrant red, her jade hairpin was winding, and her charming eyes were like wine down her throat. , which actually made Wufeng's mind a little dizzy.
"Hey, can I stand by and watch what happens to you three sisters?" After calming down, Wu Feng couldn't help it anymore and raised his hand to caress the other party's rosy cheeks, "But I think there's someone else before me. Did you intervene first? Qing Ke, have you heard of the Yue Jing National Autonomous Army? "
Startled for a moment, Li Qingke thought for a moment before replying: "I know a little about this team, and it has some connections with our people, but it seems to have been formed with the support of the Lin family in Sanjiang, although the people are all helped by our people. The Yue Jing people were recruited, but most of the funding came from the Lin family, and the training and management power of this team were mostly concentrated in the hands of officers sent by the Lin family. They are now more active in Yue Jing territory, and will report to Yue Jing in case of emergency. Dong Dong sneaked into Sanjiang territory to escape, and once the storm was over, he sneaked back to Yue Jing. The Machihan people also have a headache for this team, but it seems difficult for us to get involved with this team."
"Well, no matter what the Lin family's idea is, their support of this team will always be beneficial to Yue Jing's resistance to the rule of the Machi Khans. A single spark can start a prairie fire. If there is no fire, then even if there is external support, I'm afraid It’s also difficult to achieve great things. But I think Qingke and you can give this team appropriate support, whether it’s in terms of funding or training. If you don’t have enough strength, Northwest can provide it to you, and you can then allocate it to them. I I hope you can have more control over this team. After all, military power must be in your own hands to be reliable, otherwise you will only become the victim of others." Wu Feng thought for a while and suggested, although he does not have the strength to pay attention yet. In the south, it is estimated that the fight with the Machikhans will happen sooner or later. It is necessary to prepare for a rainy day and win a friendly army first. Moreover, doing so also indirectly helps the three daughters of the Li family. Killing two birds with one stone, why not do it? Woolen cloth
Seeing Li Qingke nodding thoughtfully, Wu Feng didn't say much. After all, this was the first time he talked about this matter today. If he paid too much attention to the other party, he might cause unnecessary misunderstandings. It was better to wait for the relationship to develop further in the future. After it is stable, it is more appropriate to put forward your own ideas.
"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things today. It's not good to stay in other people's homes. Why should we go to your place? Or follow me back to my mansion. I haven't seen you for so long. I also want to Let's have a good chat with you three sisters." Wu Feng stroked the three women's glossy black hair, which was as smooth as satin, and smelled the faint fragrance of the hair, but his fingers quietly slipped to cover the hair of Li Qingyun, who had been silent. Gently twirling the lower earlobe, watching Li Qingyun turn slightly as if to avoid the intrusion of his fingers, her round face suddenly turned red like a ripe apple, the feeling of pride in Wufeng's heart was really better than eating Coptis chinensis again and again. Honey is still sweet.
The sharp deterioration of the situation in Qinghe made the 3rd and 4th Divisions of the Northwest Army, which had just entered the territory of Pinglu Prefecture, immediately feel the pressure. More than 200,000 Kaman troops invaded Qinghe Prefecture, while 80,000 elite Qinghe Taiping Army gathered in Pinglu Prefecture. At the junction of Lu and Qinghe, not only was an ambush set up to kill the pursuing second division of the City Guards, but their movements were also uncertain. Will they cooperate with the Kamans to encircle and annihilate the City Guards, or would they sit back and watch the Kamans and the City Guards fight? Should the army fight each other, or should we simply march westward to Pinglu
Pinglu City has been completely controlled by one side, but the situation has not calmed down. The middle and lower-level civilians who have been deeply poisoned by the Taiping cult saw that the Taiping Army surrendered without a fight. There is no hope for the land and property they once dreamed of coming true. Endless despair and resentment began to erupt. There were constant riots and riots among middle- and lower-class farmers and citizens. A small group of rioters even began to attack the northwest garrison. A group of Taiping troops had repeated thoughts about surrendering, and the Kaman people continued to take prisoners. Provoking trouble also aroused the vigilance of a group of division commanders. If this situation is allowed to develop, Pinglu is likely to fall into chaos again, so Shanzhu and Mao Jin had to give up before Mulige and Kamapov's 3rd and 4th Divisions reached Pinglu. He made a plan to march to Anyuan immediately.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the faces of the four of them were all flushed. It had been a long time since they had gotten together to have a drink like this. The war was not over yet, so the four of them did not dare to enjoy themselves to the fullest. They only dared to drink briefly, although the arrangement was arranged. The deputy was assigned to be responsible for patrolling and guarding, but after all, the situation in Pinglu has not yet been completely calmed down. The four of them are still very measured, especially when there are Taiping Army activities on both sides of the east and west. In the crack of Pinglu, no one dares to take it lightly. The overall situation has been decided.
"Lao Ka, it seems that the people in the Beiyuan area have been deeply poisoned by the Taiping cult. The area our division is responsible for patrolling captured a group of thugs who attempted to attack our patrol team. Oh, guess what, they shouted the Holy Spirit. Slogans of protection against invulnerability rushed over. The people below said that this was the first time in their lives that they had seen such crazy energy. It was a pity that their Holy God could not protect them. All swords and guns were penetrated, arrows were pierced, blood flowed, and they fell to the ground dead. , but they are no different from ordinary people. I really don’t know why these people are so crazy?" Shanzhu picked up a piece of beef and swallowed it. He picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. The four of them had something to say first. No matter how much they drink, that's all. One bowl, this is a kind of torture for Shanzhu, who drinks as much as an ox, but it is better than nothing.
