Chapter 197 Heading to Chengdu and Attacking Yunnan and Guizhou

"Ah~?"

Listening to the innkeeper's various descriptions of the train, Mu Tianbo kept his mouth open, as if he was listening to a book from heaven.

Are there any means of transportation in this world that only use fire? Moreover, he still travels a thousand times a day and eight hundred times a night. Are you sure you are not talking about a fairy tale?

Mu Tianbo felt that he was more shocked this day than he had been in the past ten years.

"Haha, I can't explain it clearly. You'll know it when you actually see it."

"oh

Now that we have begun to transport military supplies, is there going to be a war?"

"Well, there are still so many people suffering in the world, and the People's Salvation Army naturally has the obligation to rescue them.

I heard that this time, we are going to save the people of Huguang."

While speaking, the innkeeper glanced at Mu Tianbo strangely.

After all, he had heard before that the little brother Mu in front of him seemed to be related to the Duke of Guizhou in the Ming Dynasty.

After listening to the innkeeper's words, Mu Tianbo couldn't help but stiffen.

In fact, not only him, but also Mrs. Chen and the Ruan brothers in the rear had slightly changed expressions.

Especially the maid serving Mrs. Chen couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed.

"Ah~!"

Attack, attack Huguang.

"Haha, haha, that's it. Boss Zhou, we have something else to do, so we'll leave first."

Mu Tianbo said with an ugly expression, and then returned to the room with everyone.

In the guest room on the third floor, everyone gathered together and were silent for a long time.

"What should we do now? Do we still want to go to Huguang?"

Mu Tianbo looked at his mother and the housekeeper Ruan brothers.

"Going to Huguang? It will take more than a month, right?

I'm afraid that when we get there, there's already a fight.

us"

The eldest of the Ruan brothers sighed with an ugly expression.

Although his final words have not been spoken yet.

But the meaning is already very obvious.

When they get there, they will probably be in trouble. They will either be caught or killed.

"How about we go to Shaanxi and then go to Henan from there."

"Henan seems to be at war now. Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Yingxiang are making quite a fuss.

As for Shanxi, the National Salvation Army seems to have occupied Datong, Xuanfu, and may send troops to Shanxi at any time."

At this point, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

From this look, it can be seen that Ming Dynasty is completely in a precarious situation and is in danger of overturning at any time.

"How about we go to Chengdu first?"

At the end, Mu Tianbo made a suggestion.

"Going to Chengdu? What can we do in Chengdu?

Now is no different than usual.

Although there are still reports of the King of Shu, it seems that he is not dead, but he has been demoted to a commoner long ago. I am afraid that he is not living a good life now.

Moreover, it is still possible for us to go find him."

Mrs. Chen and the Ruan brothers couldn't help but frown after listening to Mu Tianbo's suggestion.

If they identify with the King of Shu, they are likely to be implicated by the King of Shu.

Seeing everyone's opposition, Mu Tianbo couldn't help but express his thoughts:

"Actually, when I saw the National Salvation Army, they didn't seem to care about our identities.

Maybe, even if we recognize each other, King Shu, they won't do anything to us?

And when the time comes, we will be able to get more news about the People's Salvation Army from the King of Shu.

By then, we will also be able to make better choices

not to mention."

When he said this, Mu Tianbo paused, and then he opened his arms, showed off his ordinary clothes, and showed a wry smile.

"Are we any different from ordinary people now?

It seems to me that the National Salvation Army is not as murderous as the rumors outside. Even if they really arrest us, they will only demote us to civilians. Is there any difference from now? "

Well, if we let those high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen whose homes were confiscated, beheaded, and dragged into hard labor...

Especially the Tatar Tumote and the troops who were massacred in Turpan, knowing Mu Tianbo's thoughts, I wonder if they would be so angry that they would cry to death again.

How do you know that the People's Salvation Army is not bloodthirsty?

Well, after listening to Mu Tianbo's words, the eldest brother of the Ruan brothers couldn't help but look at Mu Tianbo strangely and asked a strange question.

"Aren't the Salvation Army bloodthirsty?"

"Are the Salvation Army murderous?"

Mu Tianbo also looked at everyone strangely.

"If these were ordinary rebels and developed to the level of the People's Salvation Army, as the king of Shu who entrusted the land of Shu, he would probably be imprisoned or even killed, right?

After all, he was the King of Shu in Chengdu, and he still held the title of Ming Dynasty's orthodoxy. If he was used by others, it would definitely cause a lot of chaos, right? "

"."

After listening to what Mu Tianbo said, Mrs. Chen and the Ruan brothers couldn't help but remain silent. What they said seemed reasonable, but they always felt that things were not that simple.

Moreover, put your own safety on the kindness of your enemy? Isn't it a little too naive?

The fact is that with the power to dominate the world, how could the dynasty care about a prince from the previous dynasty?

He is not the same person now as he was when he first started to stir up trouble.

Even an ordinary boy would have to worry about his revenge.

Now, even if all the countries in the world attack the People's Salvation Army at this time, the dynasty will not be timid in the slightest.

Of course, even if they are not afraid, they still need to take precautions, but they are not so strict.

As long as these princes and famous county kings of the Ming Dynasty do not leave their fiefdoms in the future, the dynasty will not do anything to them.

After the complete occupation of the Ming Dynasty, the restrictions on them will be completely lifted, and they can go wherever they want.

Of course, this is except for those who have really committed serious crimes and have not been tried publicly.

Well, the princes of the Ming Dynasty have no privileges in the Salvation Army, and they will also be tried publicly.

In this process, many county kings and princesses were beheaded.

Even the vassal kings have been beheaded.

Including the King of Shu.

In the end, Mu Tianbo and others decided to rush to Chengdu.

However, when they arrived in Chengdu, they were shocked.

There are more than a dozen so-called Kings of Shu in Chengdu.

After some inquiries, they knew it desperately.

The real Shu King Zhu Zhishu had been beheaded during the public trial when the Ming army entered Chengdu.

The current Shu Kings were just the sons and grandsons of Shu King Zhu Zhishu who had not done evil.

The reason why they used the title of Shu King was for the real estate left by the Salvation Army.

The Shu King deserved to die for what he had done.

However, many of his concubines, maids, and children had not committed any crime.

These people naturally needed to be resettled.

Following the previous practice, a separate courtyard was left for them.

Those who used the title of Shu King wanted to inherit this separate courtyard.

They dared not occupy them by force, as the laws of the Salvation Army did not allow it.

However, it was legally possible to inherit in the name of the Shu King and support those concubines, maids, and children.

After learning about these situations, Mu Tianbo and others were disappointed, disappointed, and disappointed again, and in the end they were somewhat desperate.

These so-called descendants of the King of Shu had no intention of avenging the King of Shu, and even had little intention of returning to the Ming Dynasty. They were all focused on fighting for their family property.

However, they did not leave.

In fact, now they did not know where to go, so they could only stay in the King of Shu's Villa in Chengdu for the time being to see what would happen next.

By the way, they went to the martial arts hall to learn some martial arts and inquire about the news of the Salvation Army's dispatch of troops.

In October of the fifth year of Chongzhen, they finally found out the latest movements of the Salvation Army.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the Salvation Army did not go east to attack Huguang, but went directly south to launch an expedition against the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

The reason why the Salvation Army changed direction was naturally because the movements of the Tusi coalition forces such as Pu Mingsheng were discovered by the Shadow Guards.

After receiving the news, the Salvation Army was immediately in an uproar, and they all clamored to teach them a lesson.

The dynasty naturally had no reason to stop this. They were all sending troops to expand anyway. Whether it was to attack Huguang or Yunnan and Guizhou, it didn't matter. It was just a matter of time.

Since Pu Mingsheng, who ruled most of Yunnan, had come to seek death, let's fulfill his wish and attack Yunnan and Guizhou first.

Even the Toast Army led by Pu Mingsheng had just arrived in Zhanyi Prefecture and had not had time to attack the Sichuan People's Rescue Army.

Li Yu had already led his army across the Kedu River and occupied Kedu City with just one attack.

Then a steady stream of troops crossed the Kedu River and headed straight for the Pu Mingsheng Toast Coalition Camp in Zhanyi Prefecture.

After hearing the news, Pu Mingsheng was furious. He hadn't attacked yet, but this People's Rescue Army actually took the lead in attacking him.

At the first moment, Pu Mingsheng sent a Gu Master to sneak into the People's Rescue Army to poison them.

Unfortunately, those Gu Masters were shot and killed by patrolling scouts before they even got close.

After sending several Gu Master teams in succession and none of them completed the task, Pu Mingsheng began to take it seriously.

Although the coalition forces have not yet been run-in, and there are even some conflicts between them.

However, the situation is urgent now, so there is no need to care about that.

It's just some minor frictions. After fighting a few games with the common enemy-the Salvation Army, they will naturally run-in. At most, there will be a few more deaths.

People, aren't they everywhere? If they die, they can be recruited again.

It takes some time to train Gu Masters, but it's not a big problem.

Bugs are everywhere.

What's more, the honorable Gu Masters don't need to go to the front line in person. Their greater role is to assist, poison, behead, etc.

On October 22, the two sides finally met a hundred miles away from Zhanyizhou.

Li Yu had no intention of negotiating at all, and directly arranged a round of artillery fire.

"Boom boom boom"

Accompanied by bursts of flames and explosions, the Tusi coalition led by Pu Mingsheng was immediately bombarded to pieces, and each Tusi team almost collapsed completely.

Amid the fierce artillery fire, sorcerers and Gu masters could not hold out longer than ordinary people.

After all, witchcraft is a sacrifice to heaven and gods, praying for enlightenment from heaven or gods, and sometimes it can borrow some power.

But it is undeniable that the body of a wizard is not much stronger than that of an ordinary person. What they are strong in is their spirit.

At least that's the case for now.

However, facing the artillery attack, the powerful spiritual power that they used to be proud of could not play any role at this time. Their bodies were instantly blown to pieces, and their spirits and souls naturally died.

The same problem applies to Gu Masters. Their powerful and strange place lies in controlling Gu insects, not their powerful bodies.

Naturally, when facing the artillery attack, they can only suffer in the northwest, um, southwest.

In the end, Pu Mingsheng could only lead the remnants of the coalition forces and retreat back to the city of Zhanyizhou.

Faced with this great defeat, many chieftains naturally pointed at Pu Mingsheng and blamed him, saying that he should not encourage everyone to attack the people's rescue army.

Hearing this, Pu Mingsheng almost laughed out of anger.

These dogs, do you want to listen to what you are barking?

Is it really because of his instigation that the families attacked the people's rescue army?
