Chapter 290: The Demon Wind Moves West

Wang Niansun was beheaded the next day. Lewen

As for the crime, of course, it is a demon spy, he invited himself home to run a group practice, and secretly ran to the Huaxia Holy Dynasty, what else can he do if he is not a spy? Since it is a spy, it is natural to cut off the head if it is caught.

And his head completely made those gentry give up their illusions about Yang Feng.

This demon is hopeless.

It was no longer possible for him to follow the right path, and he was determined to stand in opposition to the gentry.

Then the gentry had no choice.

Immediately after that, a larger-scale campaign to eliminate demons began.

Well, that's exactly the slogan.

Almost all of the gentry in Liangjiang took action, and the salt merchants of Lianghuai, the landlords of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the tea merchants of the southeast, and all those who relied on the land, relied on the privileges of officials and businessmen, and maintained their wealth and glory, all stood in the camp of the Qing Dynasty with a clear position, and had the money to contribute and make a powerful contribution to help the imperial court relieve the national difficulties. Almost all Fuzhou counties began to organize large-scale regimental training to protect the territory and the people, especially around Nanjing, and the salt merchants in Yangzhou alone took out 5 million taels of silver, with the Cao gang attached to them as the backbone, and even went to Macao to buy foreign guns and cannons, and even hired Portuguese adventurers in Macao, and quickly began to form the 1790 version of the foreign gun team.

Obviously, they also knew that the Qing army was unreliable.

During this time, not to mention being beaten by Yang Feng with witchcraft in Nanjing, it was in Hubei to face the musketeers of Wang Cong'er and others, which was also beaten to the ground, and the demon girl swept through the entire northern Hubei with only 6,000 people, beating tens of thousands of Eight Banners and Green Battalions to the ground, and even let a garrison general, two deputy commanders, plus three general soldiers die, and also broke through Jingzhou and washed the Eight Banners garrison city, and the entire garrison city was almost left without chickens and dogs. What's even more tragic is that in all the single battles, the casualties of the first brigade of the Holy Sect Army did not exceed a hundred, and the Qing army was defeated by thousands, and in the later stage, they simply fled when they heard the wind, and before they could see the demon girl, they just heard that she had arrived, so they immediately fled for their lives in a panic.

It's unsightly!

If Wang Cong'er is indeed sharp, it's just that, but the Eight Banners and Green Battalion on the Sichuan battlefield can't even beat the farmers with hoes, which is too speechless, now Ran Tianyuan's army has crossed the Fujiang River, and Wang Sanhuai and Leng Tianlu on the South Road have already arrived on the periphery of Chongqing, because the Miao people and Buyi people in Guizhou and Xiangxi revolted, and the Yungui Green Battalion that was originally transferred to Sichuan in history is gone, plus Wang Cong'er occupied Jingzhou and Yichang, in fact, cut off the Yangtze River shipping, and the Shaanxi Qing army was transferred to the Henan battlefield, The Qing army in Sichuan has become a lone army.

According to the current war situation, I am afraid that Sichuan will continue to erode.

Since the Qing army was unreliable, the gentry had no choice but to find a way to arm themselves to protect themselves.

Not to mention them, even the Yan Shenggong of Qufu came forward to form a group practice, and the Bagua Sect relied on fighting local tyrants to divide the fields, and it was also growing up in the Weishan Lake area, and even a group of bandits appeared in the Tengxian area, entrenched in the Baoqianggu and openly playing the dragon hugging the sun and moon banner of worshipping God, and the situation in Shandong was rapidly eroding

Obviously, even the Holy Father of Yan was afraid.

In this way, from north to south, Shandong, Henan, Liangjiang, Huguang, Sichuan and even Yunnan and Guizhou all began to hold large-scale group exercises.

It is said that His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who is about to be eighty this year, has decreed that on his eightieth birthday, he will hold a thousand banquets in the palace, and because the fifteenth elder brother Yongyan who was originally scheduled to establish the prince was killed by demons, he will officially announce the establishment of the prince at the Qiansu banquet.

Yongying is a rare scholar-type prince of the Aixin Jueluo family, who is famous for his calligraphy attainments, and he is frugal by nature and even the dowry of Fujin was confiscated by him, but poor Fu Heng's daughter, the queen's niece, can only drink porridge every day.

When the news came out, the scholars all cheered the emperor and the emperor.

This is their ideal prince.

Obviously, Qianlong was also very smart.

Since Yang Feng is based on those mud legs, then he wants to win over the gentry, directly give those gentry the most ideal heir to the throne in their minds, and tell them that the Qing Dynasty will stand with them as always in the future. Theoretically, he is indeed right, but unfortunately this situation is a bit special, of course, Qianlong still does not understand this, in the next he even went to Qufu again to worship Confucius, in order to show his respect for Dacheng as the protector of Confucianism, the most holy Wenxuan master, and ordered that next year's eightieth birthday be added to Enke, which made those green worms grateful!

"This is the steam engine!"

At the same time, Yang Feng was giving a lecture to students in the imperial palace in Nanjing.

"Immortal Venerable, what is a steam engine?"

One student asked cautiously.

These students were all given places in the city of Nanjing, the first batch of twenty districts were ten in each district, and then selected from among the men aged eighteen to twenty, as for the selection process, Yang Feng did not care, because the gentry in the city were all purged, and most of these people were the children and grandchildren of some merchants and officials.

"The steam engine is the future!"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

Then he pulled the valve of the steam engine that he personally instructed the blacksmith to make, and then the flywheel spun at high speed in the sound of the whistle, and it drove a primary version of the boring machine, which was actually the first thing made by Yang Feng in the late Ming Dynasty, and on this boring machine was a bronze cannon, or the bronze Napoleon twelve-pounder field gun he was most accustomed to, which was prepared for the artillery battalion of the Second Brigade of the Holy Religious Army. This brigade has basically become an army, and even the cannons are actually complete, but the cannon Yang Feng, who has not processed the breech, is not at ease after all, so he simply took the craftsman to make this thing, as for the cylinder of the steam engine, it is still the large-caliber seamless steel pipe that Xiaoqian sent to him, after all, there is no large-caliber seamless steel pipe, so he can only learn Watt, and knock it with an iron sheet wrapped in a log.

The students looked curiously at the ugly machine, and watched as the boring knife continued to cut small bits of copper in the barrel, and the inner wall of the originally cast barrel immediately became extremely smooth.

"Immortal Venerable, isn't this thing the kind of car and ship that can drive the Song Dynasty?"

One student exclaimed.

"Yes, you're smart, but this one is still a little too small, and in the future we can build a bigger steam engine, just like the Song Dynasty when humans drove cars and ships, so that ships can sail without sails."

Yang Feng said.

"Is that the kind of new spinning machine that we can also drive?"

Another student said.

"Yes, it can drive bigger.

In fact, everything that needs power, you can use the steam engine, we can use it to drive a ship that does not sail, a cart that does not need to be horse-drawn, and a machine that is driven by manpower and water, so it is the future, but unfortunately we are already one step late, because at this time the West Demon has already used the steam engine, and they even had this kind of machine a hundred years ago.

In order to ensure their rule, the Qing demons colluded with those people to fool the people of the world, ruined the scientific and technological inheritance and development of the Ming Dynasty, and made the science and technology that was no different from the Western Demon stagnate or even regressed, and during this period, the Western Demon was developing at full speed, and the gap has widened so far, whether it is the steam engine, textile machine or even guns that we just built, it is something that the Western Demon has dozens or even hundreds of years ago.

And the West Demon is still constantly invading the east.

In the demon wind westward, the original Ming Dynasty Zheng He went to the West to tame those Nanyang demon clan vassals have been basically wiped out, the vast ocean of the West Demon destroyed countless countries, more than half of the land of the entire earth has fallen into their hands, it will not be long before the land of China is their goal, as the core of the human race, my people of China have a long way to go, Haotian God ordered me to destroy the Qing demon in the lower realm is just a trivial matter, the real purpose is to revitalize the human race, for Haotian God to overwhelm this demon wind, so that the world returns to peace. ”

Yang Feng said righteously.

"I am willing to follow Immortal Venerable to the death!"

The students shouted excitedly.

After more than half a year of study, they have all been reborn, and it can be said that they know astronomy and geography, and are proficient in modern economy, politics, science and technology, and culture......

Of course, this mastery is only rudimentary.

But in this era when there is no periodic table, to know the difference between steel and iron, to know that people must rely on oxygen in the air to survive, to know that the rain in the sky is water vapor condensation, this is already considered a high-level talent, as for the immortal Venerable to ask the rain master for help, it's just that the rain master uses mana to cool down the sky sharply, it's not that the rain master moved the sea water from the East China Sea, the sea water is salt water, and the rain in the sky is fresh water, but most of the water vapor comes from the evaporation of sea water. It can already be said that it is the most knowledgeable group of people in this era, and the only people who can be compared with Europe are probably those scientists, after all, the scientific and technological level of Europe in this era is also very sad.

Yang Feng pressed his hand down with satisfaction, stopped their shouting, and then started from the boiler to explain the principle to the students.

At this time, a young girl in the distance was quietly watching him.

This girl looks about the same age as Wang Cong'er, just a little shorter, compared with Wang Cong'er, who is becoming more and more heroic, she looks more slender, thin, with a fair complexion and beautiful appearance, with her hands crossed in front of her lower abdomen, Wen Wen stood there quietly looking at Yang Feng, like a slender flower in the breeze in the field.

But what is special is that she is not wearing Han clothes, but a blue homespun southwest minority costume with simple embroidery.
