"Eunuch, eunuch, you treat an emperor like this, are you not afraid of death?"
"Eunuch, the master behind you treats me like this, isn't he afraid of the world's fierce slander?!"
"Damn it, kill me, kill me, I would rather die than not be so humiliated!"
No matter how hard Kang Mazi struggled, he was completely unable to break free.
No matter Kang Mazi yelled and cursed, Lin Muen remained unmoved.
Call me a eunuch?
Haha, don’t worry, you will be too soon!
With a sneer, Lin Muen said.
"The world's slander? When you, the slaves, forced the world to shave off your hair and change clothes, and massacred the people of the Ming Dynasty, did you ever care about the world's slander?"
"Is this really a joke? Will the people of the world really slander your Majesty for a Tatar chief like you?"
After saying this, Lin Muen stopped talking nonsense and turned to the white coat beside him.
"Let's do it!"
The two men in white coats did not hesitate after hearing this, strode forward and began to prepare for the castration operation.
They took out scalpels, hemostatic forceps and other items from the medicine box, and used high-concentration alcohol to sterilize the knives.
Generally speaking, when a eunuch is castrated, the doctor responsible for performing the operation will anesthetize the recipient.
Although the effect of Ma Fei Powder in this era is not as good as the anesthetics of later generations, after drinking it, it can still have some pain relief effect.
However, when preparing Kang Mazi for surgery, the two doctors had no intention of giving him Mafei Powder.
Of course, it's not that they forgot, but that Zhu Hongyu deliberately arranged it.
When that bitch Kang Mazi chopped the third prince Zhu alive in history, he didn't give him Ma Fei Powder.
Zhu Hongyu's request was not only not to give Kang Mazi any Mafei powder, but also to try to keep him awake during the operation and to slow down the operation as much as possible in order to inflict maximum pain on him...
As long as people don’t die!
Under Lin Muen's supervision, the operation began.
Two men in white coats first disinfected Kang Mazi's chickens with iodophor and alcohol, and then prepared to operate.
The sharp blade cut open the skin, blood seeped out, and Kang Mazi's scream instantly became shrill...
"ah!"
"Help! No, don't castrate me, I don't want to be a eunuch!"
"..."
However, Kang Mazi's words could not hinder the movements of the two men in white coats.
The chicken is killed first, and the eggs are taken later. Their actions are done in one go.
Because Kangxi was so excited, his wounds were bleeding very quickly, and there were blood stains everywhere on the hospital bed...
Lin Muen watched Kang Mazi's brother being cut off, and looked at Kang Mazi's miserable appearance. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he felt a dull pain in his crotch.
This is so special, it feels so immersive!
After taking a look at the pickled food presented to him by two men in white coats, which was obviously a deep-fried dough stick and two eggs, Lin Muen snorted coldly and opened his mouth to give instructions.
"Take it and feed it to the dog immediately, so as not to stain our eyes!"
After hearing this, the two men in white coats handed the cut off medical waste to a young eunuch for disposal, and they went back to continue the operation.
The castration is complete, but the wound still needs to be cleaned, disinfected and sutured.
Alcohol was poured on the wound for disinfection, and Kang Mazi's screams became more and more shrill...
…
After the operation, Kang Mazi was put on new clothes and sent out of the palace.
Of course, this time he was not sent back to the prison, but was sent to a mansion in Nanjing City to cultivate himself there.
Hanging at the door of the mansion is a plaque indicating the residence of the Ming Dynasty Royal Song and Dance Ensemble!
In fact, not only Kangxi, Burni, Dayan Khan and others were all imprisoned here.
Of course, they are only imprisoned and their freedom is restricted. Their food, drink and clothing are all good.
Especially for Burney, Zhu Hongyu slept with her sister, so it was naturally impossible for her to abuse him again.
Now Burni still has a lord of Anlebo hanging on his body!
Although his status is not high, he can be regarded as one of the noble relatives of the Ming Dynasty.
After being raised for such a long time, Burni has gained a lot of weight than before and looks richer.
After they knew that the Song and Dance Troupe of the Ming Dynasty's Subjugated King had a new member, everyone in the group was a little excited.
He even took the initiative to come outside the mansion to greet him!
Then, they saw Kang Mazi lying on a stretcher, covered with a white cloth and looking hopeless.
Burni saw Lin Muen, the leader of the crowd, took a few steps forward and asked.
"Zhongguan, Zhongguan, who is here this time?"
Seeing the curious expression on Burni's face, Lin Muen didn't show off and said.
"Returning to my uncle, this time it is Kangxi, the pseudo-emperor who founded the slaves!"
Burney's sister was very favored by Zhu Hongyu and was lovingly called Little Wild Horse by Zhu Hongyu.
As the eunuch beside the emperor, Lin Muen knew the emperor's love for Qiqige, so he would naturally not offend Burni.
When Burni heard this, he said with some surprise.
"Has the Ming Dynasty destroyed the pseudo-Qing Dynasty?"
Although Burni didn't have a good impression of the Manchus, he suddenly heard that the Manchus were destroyed, and his mood was a bit complicated.
Lin Muen said.
"No!"
"This time, the Puppet Qing Dynasty had internal strife and a palace coup. The traitor Hersheli Sony rebelled and captured the Tatar chief Kangxi. He did not dare to deal with it, and then dedicated it to the Ming Dynasty."
As the eunuch beside the emperor, Lin Muen was a domestic slave of the royal family. When speaking and doing things, she naturally had to stand on the standpoint of imperial power.
Therefore, he has no good impression of Sony who dares to rebel!
Not only was he displeased, he was even filled with disgust.
Burney nodded in understanding, and then scolded Sony in agreement.
Then he turned his gaze to Kangxi lying on the stretcher and asked.
"What happened to Chief Xuan Ye?"
Now Kangxi's eyes were blank, his face looked hopeless, and his cheeks were thin and his face was pale.
If his chest hadn't been heaving, Burni would have thought it was a corpse.
Could it be that Ming Dynasty tortured him?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It shouldn’t be, the Emperor of Heaven is still very tolerant, and none of them have suffered any torture after coming to Nanjing.
Lin Muen laughed and rubbed salt on Kangxi's wounds mercilessly.
"Chief Xuan Ye has committed a serious crime. Although your Majesty does not want to kill him, he cannot be spared lightly."
"That's why we sent an order to our family to allow him to be castrated and serve in front of the emperor to atone for his sins..."
When Kangxi, who was lying on the stretcher, heard this, his originally hopeless expression changed instantly.
With a hoarse voice, he shouted.
"Shameless person, despicable villain!"
"I will never let you go. I will definitely never let you go."
"..."
Seeing this, Lin Muen shrugged, as if to say, you see, that's it.
Burney also twitched the corners of his mouth, and his eyes instantly looked at Kangxi with more sympathy.
Kangxi is really miserable now!
For a man who had been an emperor, castrating him would probably be more uncomfortable than killing him.
Lin Muen said with a smile.
"Uncle Robert can help comfort me!"
Burney nodded slightly.
"Okay! Okay! Leave it to me."
"..."
…
Lin Muen returned to the imperial city and rushed to report back to Zhu Hongyu.
"Your Majesty, the matter is ready!"
"Tatar Chief Xuan Ye has been castrated!"
Zhu Hongyu raised his head and nodded slightly.
"well done!"
"Go down and rest!"
Lin Muen resigned and left.
But Zhu Hongyu continued to work on what he was doing.
Now he is thinking about what to do with the Manchus themselves?
Faced with the Satsuma Domain's request for a loan, should you choose to agree?
What should I do next to ensure the balance of power in Japan?
Let the Manchu Qing Dynasty survive the next period of pain after the coup?
Thinking about this, Zhu Hongyu thought, otherwise he would simply wipe out the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then Ming Dynasty would end it himself...
But after much deliberation, Zhu Hongyu temporarily gave up the tempting idea of playing in person.
Without him, in the final analysis it is because the population in today’s small world is too large.
There are tens of millions of people living on a few small islands, so what a crowd!
If the Ming Dynasty had gone to war in person, it would not have been difficult to defeat the Tokugawa Shogunate's army, but the vast ocean of the People's War was the real most difficult problem.
After all, the Ming Dynasty is the master of the Celestial Dynasty. It can't imitate the Manchu Qing or Western white men to engage in mass murder and genocide, right?
It's not Zhu Hongyu, but because he wants to lose face, so he definitely can't do it himself.
This is the value of the white glove of Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Forget it, let Manqing and Xiaoli continue to love and kill each other first!
After they have fought for several years and the vast land that gave Huo Huo a small life has become sparsely populated, it will be time for Ming Dynasty to pick peaches.
After thinking about these messy things, Zhu Hongyu finally made a decision.
The Satsuma Domain's request for a loan can be agreed to, and the Ming Dynasty can even sell some arms to the Satsuma Domain.
However, if the Satsuma clan wanted to borrow money, they had to agree to some of the Ming's requirements and sign an unequal treaty.
The first thing is that the Satsuma Domain wants to open its market to the Ming Dynasty.
Second, the Satsuma Domain had to provide a certain number of laborers to the Ming Dynasty every year.
Third, the Satsuma clan needed to lease Kagoshima from the Ming Dynasty. The government affairs of Kagoshima were transferred to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty would garrison Kagoshima.
fourth……
There were many conditions, but they were all quite harsh, but Zhu Hongyu believed that the Satsuma Domain would not refuse.
The reason is very simple. The Ming Dynasty still has a garrison of more than a thousand people stationed in Kagoshima.
Satsuma Domain has no room for rejection!
Of course, in addition to this, the Ming Dynasty would also go out in person to bring the Satsuma Domain and the Manchus together to negotiate.
This is the greatest benefit that the Satsuma Domain can get from agreeing to so many "reasonable demands" of the Ming Dynasty and borrowing money from the Ming Dynasty.
The reason why the Ming Dynasty did this was, on the one hand, to ensure that the Satsuma clan would not be destroyed and to pay back the money owed to the Ming Dynasty.
On the other hand, Zhu Hongyu wanted to help relieve the pressure on the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was currently in the throes of the coup!
The Manchu Qing Dynasty is now facing great pressure. To the north is the Tokugawa shogunate, which is ready to move, and to the south is the Satsuma clan that is still resisting.
They are still somewhat unstable internally due to the coup!
Under such circumstances, if Zhu Hongyu did not step aside to support him, it would not be impossible for the Manchu Qing Dynasty to be destroyed amid internal and external troubles.
Before this, Zhu Hongyu really could not have imagined that one day he would worry so much about the continuation of the Qing Dynasty...
If Kangxi knew that Zhu Hongyu was so interested in the Qing Dynasty, he would probably be moved to tears!
…
Winter in Liaodong is very cold!
Due to its proximity to the Bohai Bay and the Sea of Japan, Liaodong has heavy humidity and a lot of rain and snow.
Every winter, heavy snow often closes the mountains.
Further north in Liaodong, Nuergandusi has an even worse climate.
The extreme low temperature weather makes it impossible for most humans to adapt to life here.
A team of thirty Ming army scouts trudged hard in the direction of Nuergandusi in the wind and snow!
They wore thick cotton armor and white cloaks behind them, but their cheeks still hurt from the cold wind.
I have to say that in a cold place like Liaodong, cotton armor is indeed much more practical than iron armor.
Although it is a bit ugly, it is practical and has the effect of both warmth and protection, so it has been welcomed by many people.
Now in Liaodong, as well as the Ming army garrisons on the nine sides, they have basically all received a reissue of cotton armor.
Iron armor is worn when the weather is warm, and cotton armor is worn when the weather is cold.
"Platoon commander, according to the map instructions, we will enter the territory of Tuomuhewei not far ahead!"
A Ming soldier with cold-proof oil wax on his face came to the platoon leader to report.
The platoon leader pulled his feet out of the snow, looked around, and then spoke.
"Go down with the order and prepare to camp and rest!"
The platoon leader gave the order, and the soldiers around him clasped their fists in agreement.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then prepare to set up camp.
These scouts skillfully prepared to chop wood for fire and dig snow nests.
The imperial court planned to send troops to recover Nuergandusi and expel the Rakshasa people after the Ming army started spring. Naturally, it needed to have a general understanding of the situation in Nuergandusi before the war.
These people are the spies sent by the imperial court in advance!
Braving the heavy wind and snow, these elite scouts entered Nuergandusi in order to clear the way for the imperial court before it sent troops to the Northern Expedition.
The scouts who can be sent out are also the elite among the scouts.
Many of them are local Daur people, Oroqen people and other small people from Liaodong. In addition, there are also many Beishan Jurchens, Savage Jurchens, and Mongolians.
There are so many of these people that I dare not say that their survival ability in the wild is basically maxed out.
And they are also extremely frost-resistant, even if they are not as good as Lao Maozi, they are not much different.
Otherwise, they would not dare to head towards Nuergandusi in the middle of winter!
A group of people camped on the spot and began preparing to bury pots and make rice.
They ate military dry food that had been prepared long ago.
Boil a pot of water, add dry food and cook, and you will soon have a pot of fragrant and thick porridge.
Then add some dried meat they carry with them or game they caught while hunting, and it will be a pretty good meal.
At the very least, this food surpasses 99% of people in this era.
After dinner, everyone began to divide into groups. One group was responsible for guarding the surroundings, while the other group rested.
That night, just as the platoon leader drank some soju to warm himself up and prepare to sleep.
A Ming Army soldier from the Oroqen ethnic group came over to report.
"Platoon leader, I just found a hunting trap in the dense forest ahead!"
"There should be some activity around here!"
When the platoon leader heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said.
"Can you be sure if it's the tribes that settled nearby or the Rakshasa people?"
Li Li heard this and spoke.
"It should be left by the Rakshasa people."
"The trap used in that trap is made of iron. The tribes who settled nearby should not be able to produce iron animal traps."
Li Li is the Chinese name given to this soldier according to the rules of the Ming army.
In order to better assimilate the young civilians who joined the army, in addition to indoctrinating them, the army also stipulated that every soldier who joined the army must have a Chinese name.
In the military, when registering military status and calculating military merits, all matters are based on Chinese names.
When the platoon leader heard this, the expression on his face varied.
Bear traps may seem inconspicuous, but they still put iron-smelting technology to a certain test.
Tribes like Nuergandusi, which rely on fishing and hunting for a living and whose living conditions are almost the same as those of primitive people, cannot make animal traps.
The platoon leader pondered for a while, then spoke.
"Since I have set a trap, I will definitely come back to check again."
"Notify me, wait until daybreak to clean up the place, try to hide your traces, and prepare an ambush.
Li Li nodded in agreement.
The platoon leader patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Okay, let's go and rest!"
…
The next day, dawn!
A team of thirty Ming troops quickly cleaned up the remaining traces of life on the spot.
Then he began to prepare to hide and ambush.
The thirty people quickly dispersed around the trap, hid themselves, and then began to ambush patiently.
On the first day, everything was normal and there was no abnormality at all.
The next day, everything was still normal and calm.
On the third day, everything was still normal, but snowflakes began to fall in the sky.
On the fourth day, when the Ming army was waiting impatiently, a silly roe deer stepped on the animal trap.
Seeing this scene, some soldiers of the Ming Dynasty wanted to go forward and kill the silly roe deer for meat.
"Platoon leader, the brothers haven't made a fire these days. They have been eating dry biscuits, drinking cold water, and eating dried meat. There is almost a bird in their mouths."
"It's so hard to find a stupid roe deer for nothing, just let the brothers eat it!"
A veteran, Youzi, said with a flattering look.
He has been in the army for a long time and is an old acquaintance with the platoon leader. He is much more courageous than other ordinary soldiers.
Things that ordinary soldiers dare not mention, he dared to say with a smile.
The platoon leader glanced around, shook his head and said.
"No, a fire will easily expose your position!"
"I've been waiting here for four days, and I've been freezing for four days. How can I waste all my efforts just because of a temporary craving for food?"
When Zhao Hu heard this, he smacked his lips helplessly, obviously greedy.
But seeing that the platoon leader was resolute, he no longer dared to say anything.
A veteran soldier is a veteran soldier, and he still understands the military orders.
The Ming army continued to wait patiently.
On the fifth day, everything was still normal.
On the sixth day, everything was normal in the morning. In the afternoon, a line of troops appeared at the end of the line of sight of the Ming army on guard outside.
There were thirty or forty people in front and behind the team, all wearing thick leather jackets and wrapped in black cloaks.
Almost everyone was leading a horse, and behind the horse was a sledge, with many bloody prey tied to the sledge.
In addition, there are many people holding several black and white wolves on their hands.
What's a bit strange is that these wolves can also pull sleds.
The Ming Army platoon leader looked at the group that suddenly appeared, narrowed his eyes, and whispered.
"Notify it and get everyone ready for battle!"
"As soon as the enemy enters the ambush circle, take action immediately!"
Although those wolves were a bit strange, the Ming army didn't take them too seriously.
They all have guns!
Can you still be afraid of wolves if you have a gun?
…
Khamenkov held a husky sled dog in his hand and followed the team as they strode through the dense forest.
He stretched out his hand and scratched his itchy neck because he hadn't showered for a long time. He looked at the dirt and grease in his nails and carelessly put his hands into his mouth and shivered.
There was an extremely perverted and intoxicated look on his face.
When Roman on the side saw this scene, he couldn't help but retched and kicked Khamenkov.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Khamenkov, what are you doing? It's disgusting!"
When Khamenkov heard this, he didn't take it seriously at all.
He said with a shrug.
"This is what I call a man!"
As he spoke, he picked up the wine bag on his waist and drank a sip of vodka for himself.
Roman walked quickly a few steps away from Khamenkov with a look of disgust on his face.
As Cossacks, some don't care about cleanliness, but there are also some who are particular about it.
The bearded man at the head heard the movement behind him and turned his head and said.
"Keep your formation and don't mess up, be careful of attacks!"
These old men who came to the East were basically hated by people in the East. Because they often plundered and massacred the surrounding tribes, the relationship with the surrounding tribes was very tense.
So much so that they didn't dare to go out alone, and every time they left the fortress, they always came in groups.
Just like this time when we came out to check traps and collect prey, thirty or forty people acted together.
Otherwise, if there are few people, if they are attacked and killed by the local tribe, they will not know who did it.
But even so, they were attacked from time to time along the way.
After hearing the captain's words, Khamenkov and Roman both calmed down and spoke very respectfully.
"I obey, dear Captain Yin Wan!"
As Cossacks, they are all strong-willed, and they are quite convinced of their captain.
You know, their captain once had a hand-to-hand fight with a black bear in front of everyone.
Of course, the black bear is not that big. It is just a female black bear, weighing only about 100 kilograms. It is estimated that it may not be an adult yet.
But even so, it's amazing enough.
Yin Wan raised his hand in front of his eyebrows and looked at the forest in the distance.
Not far ahead is the trap they set, I hope they can gain something.
In this hellish place like Siberia, due to climate reasons, the most cultivated land is rye, potatoes and the like.
In this era, the yield of potatoes was actually just that, and rye was notoriously not eaten by dogs.
Therefore, these Rakshasa people are very short of food now.
Especially in winter, whether you will go hungry depends on whether you can catch prey.
And if you want to hunt in the ice and snow, even an old man may not be able to do it.
However, as he got closer and closer to the trap they set, Yin Wan suddenly had some bad premonitions in his heart.
Looking at the dense forests and snowfields around him, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated a lot.
The powerful sixth sense reminded Yin Wan crazily that there was danger here.
Just when he was about to open his mouth to remind everyone behind him to be careful.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
In an instant, a series of gunshots rang out.
Someone in the team fell down instantly.
With almost a gunshot, someone fell down.
The reason why it was almost was because someone was unlucky and was shot several times at the same time.
Amidst the crackling gunfire, more than half of the Cossack team fell instantly.
Some people were shot dead on the spot, but many more were only injured.
One by one, the wounded lay on the ground, letting out a shrill wail.
The captain Yin Wan was also very unlucky. He was taken care of by the ambushed Ming army. Several muskets were aimed at him and they all pulled the triggers.
After the gunshots were fired, the man who had fought a black bear in hand-to-hand combat was shot dead on the spot.
The death of the captain also caused these brave Cossacks to lose their command directly.
Everyone was fighting back individually, creating a chaotic mess.
For a time, gunfire sounded continuously!
However, it is very obvious that it was entirely the Ming army that suppressed these Cossacks unilaterally.
The weapons used by these Ming army scouts are all the latest breech-loading rifles.
The breech-loading rifle that uses fixed paper shell bullets has a rate of fire far higher than the matchlock gun used by the Cossacks.
These Cossacks were able to bully the primitive tribes of Siberia with their matchlock guns, but when they faced the Ming army, they were completely powerless to fight back.
"Suka Bulie, how many enemies are there?"
"The gunshots were so dense. How could the muskets fire so fast?"
"Damn, don't they need reloading?"
"..."
A group of Cossacks huddled together, hiding behind big trees, rocks and other shelters, cursing and cursing.
Listening to the continuous gunshots all around, these Cossacks were filled with panic.
Because judging from the sound of gunfire alone, there must be at least hundreds or thousands of people ambushing them.
Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to fire such a dense barrage without loading the musket.
In their view, the only way to reload a musket is to stand up. Once you stand up, it is impossible not to reveal your position.
But now they saw no one at all.
From what they saw, the only possibility they could think of was that there were many enemies ambushing them and there were also many muskets.
It doesn't require reloading at all and it makes them unable to hold their heads up!
Khamenkov looked at Roman's body in the open space not far away, his expression a little dazed.
Just now, Roman was shot several times in succession, and a lead bullet hit him directly in the head.
In an instant, Roman's head exploded, and blood mixed with the brain matter, dyeing the snow on the ground red.
Bang! Bang bang!
Projectiles hit the tree trunk one after another, sending sawdust flying everywhere.
A Cossack raised his gun and tried to fight back, but as soon as he came forward, he was called out by fire and beaten into a sieve.
Zhao Hu quickly loaded the musket, three points and one line, and kept pulling the trigger.
Although he is a veteran, his marksmanship is quite accurate.
As long as someone shows up, he will raise his hand and shoot.
It almost never fails!
The Ming troops, who were ambushing in all directions, got up from the ground, held their guns and began to move towards the place where the Cossacks were hiding.
As they moved forward, they formed a search array. They cooperated with each other and were ready to cover each other and reinforce each other at any time.
These scouts were all the best among the best in the Ming army, so it was no problem to deal with some Cossacks.
As the Ming army got closer and closer to the place where the Cossacks were hiding, some Ming soldiers took out grenades from their arms.
Pull the string, throw, all the movements are done in one go!
Amidst the rumbling explosions, a plume of smoke rose from behind the boulders and trees.
The next moment, the soldiers of the Ming army rushed forward to kill him!
