The Russian "Cossack Brigade" has broken through the border and is now gathering towards Ili Prefecture. Along the way, the Qing army's cavalry collapsed without a fight and retreated steadily. The reason is very simple, because the "Cossack Brigade" brought the big devil "Black Death" with them.
People who were infected wherever they went would invariably develop high fevers, vomit blood, and die. A town could be conquered within ten days. The cavalrymen of the "Cossack Brigade" all wore strange costumes, which looked like legends.
The "god of death" in.
When the report of the Flying Eagle battle came, the entire court was shocked, and the Empress Dowager and the young emperor were furious. They called all the ministers overnight to discuss how to deal with it. This was a war that had never been encountered before. Plagues were also used to destroy the enemy in grassland wars before.
But it's just a auxiliary method. This is the first time that such a large-scale plague is completely used as a weapon.
The "Black Death" is the god of death on earth, a great evil released from hell. It can turn an area into a lifeless place of death. The Summer Resort is a typical example.
The generals who were so brave and brave in the past were collectively speechless this time. Regardless of personal danger, Wu Xian General Chaha of Ili Prefecture risked his life with four thousand cavalry to fight. As a result, the "Cossack Brigade" only sent more than thirty
The sick captive soldiers came to fight. More than thirty captive soldiers were chopped into meat paste. General Chaha returned home victorious. Before he could give out the certificate of merit, more than half of the four thousand cavalry were infected with the "Black Death"
", hundreds of people died tragically within a few days, and the miserable sound of pain made people shudder; General Chaha himself was also seriously ill, and the miserable screams penetrated the entire military camp and penetrated everyone's hearts.
.Also died together with dozens of infantry lieutenants.
Grand Master Ao Bai has read the Flying Eagle Urgent Letter dozens of times. To him, this is an unbreakable situation.
, that is simply more difficult than climbing to the sky.
Not to mention other generals, Lord Obai has some experience in fighting battles on the grassland with the help of plague.
"The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, I think the best way now is to invite Master Xiao Jia here again. He is a disciple of the gods, so he will definitely be able to find a solution."
Now that Mr. Aobai has experienced the "city gate official" incident, he has learned how to be restrained and how to be a true courtier. He has become very respectful and cautious when speaking to the Empress Dowager and the little emperor.
"Don't you ministers of humerus think of any solution at all?" The always kind-hearted Empress Dowager raised her voice an octave.
All the ministers knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I deserve to die for my crime, I deserve to die for my crime!"
This is not a matter of death or death.
The little emperor pulled the sleeves of the empress dowager and said: "Ancestor, I'm afraid I have to let Mr. Xiao Jia... this time..."
After being silent for a while, the Empress Dowager resolutely waved her hand and said: "Password for Mr. Xiao Jia to enter the palace."
The ministers breathed a deep sigh of relief, and the Empress Dowager cursed in her heart: "A bunch of useless things, they are simply a bunch of trash! We have to rely on Mr. Jia for everything. Is there really no one in our empire?"
Baoyu was carried into the palace. The sadness and drunkenness in the middle of the night made him a little unclear. When he was carried into the hall, he was still singing softly, "Night, the night is so lonely, I miss you so much."
There are thousands of loves and sorrows, but only the mandarin ducks envy the immortals...? Each piece of snowflake melts the beauty of the geese looking forward to returning south in spring..."
Eunuch Liang originally wanted to push Baoyu to wake up, but when he saw the Empress Dowager gently shaking her head, he quickly lowered his head and whispered, "Master Xiao Jia, Master Xiao Jia, please wake up, wake up..."
"Who the hell are you? If you keep buzzing in front of me like this... like a nasty fly, be careful I will twist your head off and use it as a ball to kick... His grandma's, Qingwen's
I’ll pour the wine…”
Eunuch Liang smiled charmingly and said: "Master Jia is really drunk. This can relieve the tension. This is not very offensive or deceiving."
He is such a good man. Mr. Zheng, who was anxious at the side, wished he could stuff half of his family property into Eunuch Liang's arms.
The sobering soup was delivered in a timely manner. The Empress Dowager reached out to take it and personally fed Baoyu one spoonful at a time.
After only half a drink, Baoyu woke up, opened his drowsy eyes, saw a familiar face, and murmured in confusion: "Did I go back again?"
Eunuch Liang called in a low voice from the side, "Master Xiao Jia, Master Xiao Jia, the Empress Dowager summoned you into the palace late at night and is waiting for you to speak."
"I'm in the palace?" Baoyu was so excited that he woke up from the wine. When he saw the kind face of the Empress Dowager, he quickly started to struggle.
"Lie down, lie down, and talk. I know that Mr. Jia has been exhausted during this period."
Baoyu squinted his drunken eyes and said without hesitation: "Grandma, the Empress Dowager, nothing is a problem. With me, the blessed general of the heaven, all difficulties can be solved, especially the war...
"
Eunuch Liang deliberately coughed twice, and Lord Zheng also coughed hard, including Lord Aobai.
This burst of coughing suddenly woke Baoyu up. He summoned people to the palace overnight and carried them in on a couch. This meant something big had happened. I once again committed the habit of bragging and making promises casually.
Damn it, a dog can't change its habit of eating shit. When will I get rid of this habit of digging a hole for myself?
When he raised his head and saw clearly that he was surrounded by ministers with expectant eyes, Baoyu regretted it all the time. He was really riding a tiger, and now he had no way to take back what he had said.
"Russian red-haired ghosts are using the Black Death plague as a weapon to enter the palace, breaking through dozens of cities and almost reaching Ili Mansion..."
The Empress Dowager woke up Baoyu completely with such a simple sentence. Isn't this the germ warfare virus war of later generations? His grandma, these red-haired ghosts are too vicious, aren't they? Modern germ warfare virus war
Did war appear earlier in this dynasty? No one in the entire court had truly experienced such a deformed war. No wonder they invited me here.
While listening to several ministers describing the situation in Yili Mansion, he ordered the entire large map of Xinjiang to be hung on the wall of the main hall. He staggered over and bowed his hands to the ministers and said: "The matter is urgent.
, Dear uncles and uncles, I’m offended.”
He took a pole handed over by Eunuch Liang and said in a low voice: "Eunuch, one cough is worth 10,000 taels of silver."
Eunuch Liang also said in a low voice: "This is what we should do. Our family does not dare to accept any more money from Master Xiao Jia. Just because of Master Xiao Jia's summer resort, our family is willing to work hard for Master Xiao Jia."
It seems that Eunuch Liang is also a very interesting person who is worth getting to know.
No longer verbose, he turned around and pointed at the map with a pole and said: "According to the battle report from the front, the Russian Cossack Brigade captured here, here, and here, these sixteen towns in two months and four days. If it stays like this
At such a speed, they will capture Yili Mansion within three months... I have never experienced such a war personally, but I have experience in fighting in the summer resort, so only I can dare to give it a try, so I will try again
Apply to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor...this application..."
The little emperor said: "I know what you need is the power to act arbitrarily."
Baoyu scratched his head, patted his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid I want more this time."
"Xiao Jia, you can just ask, but I won't be like the bank you mentioned, where you ask for a high price and I will bargain on the spot."
"Okay, I want to be the governor of the western region. I want to have jurisdiction over the six provinces of Xinjiang, Shaanxi-Gansu and Tibet. At the same time, I need the entire imperial court to be my logistics."
The Empress Dowager intervened and said: "According to the old practice of the Battle of Summer Resort, Master Aobai and Master Mingzhu will be responsible for the overall coordination of material, financial and human resources."
"No, this time is more dangerous than the battle at the Mountain Resort, and the variables are even less unpredictable, so I have the courage to ask the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to be the general logistics."
The entire hall fell silent for a moment, because this situation had never happened before.
But if you think carefully about the joints, everyone knows that this is the best way.
After thinking about it for a short while, the Empress Dowager figured out the key. Only the two great gods, herself and the little emperor, could support Master Xiao Jia. Master Xiao Jia would be able to fight in the front without any baggage or worries.
An unprecedented war.
"Okay, Gu promises to give you the power to act arbitrarily. Gu will appoint you as General Pinglu and Governor of the West. His Majesty Gu He will personally be your logistics manager."
(How Baoyu fought this war, and whether he could win it, have changed before he left Yangguan... Please listen to the next chapter to explain.)
