Explosive magic weapon! ?
When Deng Guangming and Xue Zhang heard this, they almost fell off their horses. Of course they both saw the clouds of fire and smoke on the battlefield and heard the explosions.
Judging from the movement of the explosion and the number of soldiers who were blown over, it was obviously not caused by ordinary gunpowder... it should have been caused by the "magic weapon" that looked like a chamber pot in Deng Zhong's hand!
If this explodes, both of them (Deng Guangming and Xue Zhang) will be "loyal"!
"Deng Zhong, take it away! Take it away quickly..." Deng Guangming screamed urgently, pulling the reins while shouting, trying to escape.
Xue Zhang was a civil servant, much more cowardly than Deng Guangming. He was so frightened that he couldn't say anything. He just raised his hand and pointed at Deng Zhong.
Deng Zhong was not afraid at all. He saw that he was holding a chamber pot in his right hand and took out a yellow talisman with his left hand like a magic trick. He smiled and said: "Uncle, Prefect Xue, you see, this is the talisman for firing the magic weapon. It has been used." My nephew pulled it out...so this magic weapon can't explode."
This Deng Zhong also loves to ponder. Otherwise, how could he clean Dorgon's toilet so well? There are so many slaves who have cleaned the toilet for Dorgon, but he is the only one who has been promoted. There is a reason for this!
Deng Zhong, who has loved to ponder since he was a child, had already studied this "magic weapon" on the way back, and even pulled out the talisman paper that served as a lead.
"Really? Is it really impossible to explode?" Deng Guangming was still a little worried.
"The talisman? Is it really a magic weapon?" Xue Zhangze was a little interested in the talisman. "Bring the talisman to me quickly."
After Xue Zhang became a Jinshi, he read a lot of "idle books" (he didn't read good Confucian principles, nor water conservancy and agriculture, he just liked to read all kinds of miscellaneous books), and he also did some research on chanting mantras and drawing talismans.
Taking the talisman paper from Deng Zhong's hand, Xue Zhang immediately recognized this fire and thunder talisman from the Shenxiao sect!
"This is a fire and thunder talisman!" Xue Zhang showed off his knowledge, and then asked, "What is in the chamber pot?"
At this time, Deng Guangming also felt that the chamber pot magic weapon could not be exploded, so he regained his general air and said to Deng Zhong: "Quickly pull out the stopper and see what's inside?"
"Hey!" Deng Zhong responded, reached out and pulled out the cork, then poured a little of the black powder inside into the palm of his hand, and smelled it again, "Uncle, it should be ordinary gunpowder... just a little urine. It smells bad, maybe it’s mixed with baby urine?”
Deng Guangming frowned, "Gunpowder mixed with boy's urine cannot be that powerful! Prefect Xue, you are very knowledgeable, do you know what is going on?"
Xue Zhang took the talisman and looked at it again and again, and then came to the conclusion: "Deputy Commander, the rebel gunpowder is so powerful, it must be related to this talisman! We are afraid that we will encounter the real Zhuge Demon this time Got it!"
Having said this, he asked Lu Renyi and Bantou Lu next to him, "Bandou Lu, you are a native of Chaozhou. Do you know the details of the Zhuge Demon Dao in Dananshan?"
Lu Renyi was so smart. He was already thinking about his words in his mind when he was standing by and listening to the conversation between Deng Guangming, Deng Zhong, and Xue Zhang.
"Returning to the prefect, as far as I know, the Zhuge Yao Dao on Danan Mountain was moved from somewhere in Zhejiang by his grandfather's generation. Zhuge Yao Dao's grandfather and father were both veteran Taoists, and they made a living by making fortunes and selling divination. He was famous in Chao Huijia's generation and was known as Zhuge Shensuan. When it came to Zhuge Yao Dao's generation, it happened to be in troubled times. The demon Dao had delusional thoughts and wanted to protect the Ming Dynasty and revive the Ming Dynasty like Zhuge Kongming. So he pinched After making some calculations, he went to Guangfu and Zhaoqing to look for some kind of enlightened master, but found nothing, so he had to follow that Heavenly King Zhu back to Danan Mountain to die..."
Deng Guangming said calmly: "Did he really get nothing? Didn't he bring back Prince Zhu San from Guangzhou?"
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief is wise," Lu Renyi flattered him, and then added: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, I also heard that Yu Zhongxian was also seeking an official position in Guangfu when Yu Jiuchen was there, and he also made friends in Guangfu. I met Heavenly King Zhu and became close friends forever, and later became brothers."
"Humph, what kind of acquaintance..." Deng Guangming snorted, "He must have deliberately made friends with Zhu after knowing that Tianwang Zhu was the third prince of Zhu! And his nickname of 'Nine Ministers' was also used to Prince Zhu is so loyal! I thought he was just a stranger, but I didn’t expect him to be a relic of the Ming Dynasty!"
Xue Zhang nodded, with a look of concern for the country and the people, "Deputy Commander, this is the Third Prince Zhu, Zhuge Yaodao, and the loyal loyalist of the previous dynasty. By the way, Dahao Island in Chaoyang County in the south There was also Qiu Hui, a sea bandit with more than 10,000 followers, who also carried the banner of the prefect of Chaozhou in the Ming Dynasty.
If Prince Zhu, Zhuge Yaodao and Yu Zhongxian collude with Qiu Hui, the world will be in chaos! We must report the critical situation in Chaozhou to the Emperor Heping Nan as soon as possible! "
As soon as Xue Zhang mentioned "reporting to the emperor," Deng Guangming's old face drooped, "Should we also report the defeat of the battle?"
This battle for Guiyu Capital was a bit ugly!
In just one battle, dozens of people were killed and injured, and a lot of good equipment was lost. The rebels in Guiyu are picking it up now. From time to time, there are still wailing flag soldiers being killed by the rebels. Let out the last scream...
Although these flag soldiers were all fatally wounded and now expected to die early and be reborn, Deng Guangming felt very sad when he heard the screams. If he was asked to report such a sad thing to the emperor and King Pingnan, he really couldn't bear it!
"Deputy Commander Deng, you said the battle was lost? Where was the battle lost?" Xue Zhang asked seriously, "Why don't I know this?"
Isn't this defeated yet?
Vice-President Deng looked at Magistrate Xue, as if waiting for the explanation from the second-ranked Jinshi.
"Deputy Commander," Xue Zhang said seriously, "Where are the rebels like Prince Zhu, Third Grandson of Zhu, Zhuge Yaodao, and Yu Zhongxian now?"
"Then you still need to ask?" Deputy Commander Deng glanced at the castle in the distance, "It's in the capital city of Guiyu!"
Xue Zhang shook his head and corrected: "They are surrounded in the capital city of Guiyu!"
"Wai..." Deputy Deng was stunned. It seemed like this was happening!
His infantry and shotgun soldiers were destroyed, but the horseback soldiers could still fight! At least they can control the area around the Guiyu capital. Although it is difficult to stop a small group of elite soldiers from breaking out, it is difficult for the family members of the Old Yu family to escape from the pursuit of these horse-armed soldiers.
"Prefect Xue," Deng Guangming thought for a while, but still felt something was wrong, "if Dahao Qiu Hui's men come over, they won't be able to resist them!"
"Deputy Commander, when the soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when the water comes, the soil will cover..." Xue Zhang reminded Deng Guangming, "You are the Deputy Commander of Chaozhou's flag army. Before the little prince grew up, the flag of Chaozhou Prefecture The army and the green camp are all under your control! Now you have surrounded the big rebels like Prince Zhu San in Guiyu. You have given the order to mobilize troops. How dare General Liu from Chao Town not come? If he doesn't come, the thieves will run away. Yes, the blame is all his!
As long as Liu Zongrong's troops arrive, can Prince Zhu and his gang escape? "
"That's right!" Deng Guangming immediately realized that Xue Zhang, a prefect with two backgrounds, was really smart!
This pot is so clean!
"Well, then we have to report it to the superiors quickly," Deng Guangming said, "Let's just say that we have discovered the third prince of Zhenzhu, and we have surrounded him in Guiyu..."
"You can't report like this," Xue Zhang still shook his head. "It must be said that the real prince Zhu San, Zhu San's grandson, and Sanhe Yaodao after Zhuge Liang, as well as Jieyang's powerful Yu Zhongxian gathered thousands of people and rebelled at Nanxi Bridge in Jieyang. The Qing Dynasty was defeated by the deputy commander and his subordinates. The remaining one or two thousand people are now trapped in the capital of Guiyu! But when you, the deputy commander, sent your troops to attack the city, you fell into the evil ancestral secret empty city strategy. The warriors under your command are still alive. We were assassinated by the Heavenly Thunder magic weapon passed down by Zhuge Liang, and one or two hundred people were killed or injured. But you still led the horse soldiers to fight to the death and blocked the rebels in the capital city of Guiyu!"
"Okay!" Deng Guangming clapped his hands, "Just report it to the superior..." As he spoke, he glanced at Deng Zhong, who had a bruised nose and face, "Nephew, I'll give you a chance. Wait for my question book , and the memorial are all ready, take this title book and the memorial with you and go to Beijing to see the emperor day and night!"
When Deng Zhong heard this, he knelt down in front of Deng Guangming: "Uncle, my nephew will never forget you!"
