"You're going to attack the demon's palace?"

Yang Feng looked at the believer in front of him in surprise.

This is Li Wencheng, the former leader of the Bagua Sect, and now the head of the Holy Sect.

With Liu Zhaokui's army in Shandong, the theory of the unity of the Holy Religion and the Bagua Sect modified by him was basically accepted by the Bagua Sect, after all, the big tree of the Holy Sect is enough to shade, for the upper echelons of the Bagua Sect This is their best opportunity to make contributions, these years they have been hiding underground like rats, and they can't wait to be active in broad daylight, especially for the leaders of the hexagrams, because Wang Lun of that year, they themselves were on the Manchu blacklist, and once they were discovered, the best result was also exile. Over the years, many sect leaders have been dug up one after another, either exiled to Xinjiang or died in prison, and they cannot miss this opportunity to clear their hands.

The Holy Church gave them this opportunity.

And for the people of Zhili who were hungry and cold under the cruel oppression of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the slogan of free grain in Juntian was enough to make them crazy, and now Qianlong in order to feed his loyal ministers, the looting in Zhili has led to a large number of starvation deaths, so although the Manchu Qing Dynasty strictly guarded the spread of the Holy Religion, but because of the efficiency of the officials, the Holy Religion version of the Bagua Sect was still secretly spread among the people at a very fast speed, and even gained a large number of fanatical believers, and a group of fanatical believers were preparing to attack the imperial palace on Qianlong's 80th birthday, as for the leader......

"Hui Xianzun, the disciples and others have nothing to show their loyalty, only to the Qing Demon Chieftain to offer, the Qing Demon Chief Hongli wants to set up a thousand banquets on his 80th birthday, the disciples and others plan to start on their day, with the Shuntian Sect Patriarch Lin Qing led the believers to attack the Qing Demon Palace to kill Hongli, Hejian Patriarch Feng Keshan, Weihui Patriarch Xu Anguo and others led the Zhili Shandong believers to raise troops in Huaxian County, and seize Huaxian County to wait for the heavenly soldiers."

Li Wencheng said.

"Then how did Lin Qing and the others get out?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Hui Xianzun, Lin Qing and others are determined to be martyred, as long as they kill Hongli, they are willing to die, they also have internal responses in the palace, and there are also a large number of believers in Beijing to help, as long as there is no accident, you can easily enter the palace, when the time comes, hundreds of believers in the palace suddenly attacked, the Qing demon was caught off guard, and he will definitely be able to kill Hongli."

Li Wencheng said.

"They are faithful!"

Yang Feng said with emotion.

In fact, because of the theory of reincarnation, the Holy Cultists are not very afraid of death at this time, after all, according to the faith, even if they die, it is nothing more than reincarnation, if they die for the Holy Religion, they will be favored by Haotian God after death, and they will become gods like Yue Fei and these heroes all of a sudden, it will be even more perfect, even if they can't become gods, they will be reincarnated in rich and noble families because of their merits when they are reincarnated, which is also worth looking forward to for those poor people who are so poor that they have not eaten a meal, and the whole family has a pair of torn pants to wear, after all, they are also guilty of living, and it is better to seek an afterlife.

Under this kind of thinking, the Holy Cultists are generally not afraid of death, otherwise there would not be those who queued up to be shot at a distance of ten zhang but none of them retreated!

That's the power of faith.

Even if this belief is ridiculous from a modern point of view, even if this belief is made up by Yang Feng, it is even ......

That's better than nothing.

But their bravery pushed Yang Feng into a very tangled situation.

He can't watch these believers die!

According to his original plan, it is necessary to wait for the beginning of spring next year, Zhu Li and Zheng Yi's large fleet to complete the formation, and then personally lead a Northern Expeditionary Army to take the battleship to the sea, learn from the British and French forces to land at Dagukou and directly smash Beijing, at that time the Hunan battlefield was basically opened, and the war situation in Sichuan was also clear, and the southern line opened the Taihu defense line of Zhejiang regimental training, and Wang Cong'er's army on the northern front opened Hefei, basically the situation in the world was clear, he was seizing Beijing in one fell swoop, and the rest was some sweeping, but now these people have to start in Beijing first, as an immortal venerable, he can't sit idly by.

"How long is it until the day of the army?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Back to Xianzun, the army will start on September 25."

Li Wencheng said.

"Five days left?"

Yang Feng said stunned.

This time is very tight, after all, even if he goes on the Northern Expedition in advance, it will be impossible for him to reach Beijing in five days anyway.

"That day is Hongli's birthday, the day of the Qiansu feast."

Li Wencheng said.

They just deliberately chose this special day, anyway, Lin Qing and others are also dead soldiers, since this is the case, they will create a sensation to the greatest extent, Qianlong's 80th birthday, not only local officials, but even all subject countries have also sent people to celebrate his birthday, on this day hundreds of dead soldiers suddenly killed in the palace, even if they can't kill Qianlong, it can be called ancient and unparalleled.

"You step down first, I'll make arrangements!"

Yang Feng thought for a while and said.

It is also impossible for them to adjust their plans, and it is impossible to send the news to Beijing in five days.

Li Wencheng hurriedly retired.

His task is to contact reinforcements, they are indeed bold, but they are not stupid, if there is no backup, it is pure suicide to raise troops, Lin Qing, who is responsible for killing Qianlong, is really not ready to live, this team is suicidal, their task is only to kill Qianlong and disrupt the Manchu court, and Feng Keshan and others in Huaxian County are the real main force. This group of men and horses quickly seized Huaxian as a stronghold, called on the hungry people with the slogan of free grain in Juntian, opened a warehouse to release grain to gather people's hearts, and contained the Qing army in Hebei from behind, and at the same time Liu Zhaokui in Shandong also re-killed out of the mountains and burned the fire in the rear of the Qing army. And from Yuzhou to Huaxian all along the plains, at most 600 miles away is Guanma Avenue, only a Yellow River in the middle as a block, but at that time it was already October, the Yellow River began to freeze in October, as long as they can hold on to Huaxian for a month, the main force of the Holy Sect Army in the north can hit Huaxian through the frozen Yellow River.

The key to this plan was that the main force of the Holy Cult Army in Yuzhou must attack north as soon as possible.

And when he saw Immortal Venerable, he completed the task.

The rest is nothing more than Xianzun sending troops to the north to reinforce the whole two towns of the Holy Sect in Nanyang, which adds up to more than 40,000 horses, not counting Yao Zhifu's loyal army, and the Henan Qing army only has 10,000 Mongolian cavalry left after the last fiasco, although there are still a bunch of eight banners, green battalions and regimental training, but they still have Liu Zhaokui's Shandong Righteous Army on their flanks, and even Wang Cong'er's two towns and Liu Zhixie's department have also crossed the Huai River and can join the Henan battlefield at any time, it can be said that as long as Xianzun gives an order, An army of 100,000 will enter Henan like Mount Tai.

"Immediately ordered Yang Zhong and Cong'er, ordered Yang Zhong to lead the first, six two towns to attack Henan, if the Huaxian Righteous Army raised troops, Yao Zhifu's loyal army was responsible for attacking Luoyang to block the Cuihan Road, he led the two towns to cross the Yellow River to meet the Huaxian Righteous Army, and ordered Cong'er to hand over the Anhui battlefield to Liu Zhixie and Xu Hui, and she led the third town to Guide to attack Liu Zhaokui in Shandong!"

After Li Wencheng left, Yang Feng immediately said.

"Then the logistics are a big problem."

Han Lin, who actually plays the role of chief of the General Staff, said.

The reason why Yang Feng pushed the Northern Expedition to next year is also the logistics, not the logistics of his Northern Expeditionary Army, but the logistics of the southern line of the Holy Sect Army to attack the north after he entered Beijing, to the north is not in the south, there is Jianghan shipping in the south, and the Holy Sect Army does not need to consider transportation at all, but the end point of Jianghan shipping is the credit flag shop, and there is no waterway to the north, unless he opens up the canal line of Huaiyang in advance, but the tens of thousands of foreign guns in the hands of the two Huai gentry are quite strong in combat, and it will definitely not be solved without a little time. Originally, it was planned that after the completion of the eighth town on Yang Feng's side, the fourth town would attack Taihu Lake, and the eighth town would cross the river and Wang Cong'er would work together to solve the two Huai, but it was too late.

"Orders are sent to all parts of the country to form militia detachments!"

Yang Feng said.

"If there is no waterway, take the land route, and if there is no carriage, use a cart to push."

Then he added.

"Xianzun rest assured, don't dare to say it elsewhere, as long as the people of Hubei give an order from Xianzun, even if all the men go into battle, they will send ammunition, and now the autumn harvest is over, with the support of this year's bumper harvest, there is also how much food they want, not to mention that the people of Henan are looking forward to Wang Shi for a long time, as long as the army goes north, it is nothing more than destroying the withering and decaying."

Prime Minister Zhang Cuncheng said.

He didn't exaggerate what he said, because the new agricultural technology that popularized Xianzun was the first to do so, and this year's grain harvest in Hubei and Nanyang Basin was bumper, and the people of the two places who shared the land and enjoyed the joy of the harvest, coupled with their devout beliefs, as long as Xianzun really went to the soup and fire with a word. What's more, there is no need for these people at all, as long as the Holy Sect army goes north, those people in the area controlled by the Qing army in Henan will solve all the transportation problems, and in order to free grain for Juntian, they will not hesitate to push Yang Zhong's two towns to Huaxian County with a small cart, isn't it just a trivial matter to transport food and ammunition from the credit flag shop to the north. What's more, the Han River is not the Yellow River, even in winter, it is almost not frozen, including the Tang River, that is to say, the need for land transportation is only from the credit flag shop to Huaxian, the distance is only about 600 miles, and the pontoon bridge on the Yellow River is enough to transport the materials from the credit flag shop to Huaxian County.

After three years of missionary work, the organizational strength of the Holy Church in Nanyang, northern Hubei was absolutely unquestionable.

"Then no problem!"

Han Lin said.

As long as the logistics supply is sufficient, the Holy Sect army is invincible, not to mention that the core of this Northern Expedition is the first town, which is the real elite tempered by two years of war, and dares to put the enemy's cavalry at a distance of less than ten zhang from each other before firing, such a 20,000-strong army sweeping through the messy Qing army in Henan is not the same as playing.

The advantage of the Qing army was none other than the Mongol cavalry.

But the performance on the battlefield has long proved that the Mongolian cavalry can't break through the hollow phalanx composed of flintlock pistols and cannons, not to mention that the first town has been replaced with the latest batch of fire cap rifles, and even a large number of hunters equipped with rifled guns, as well as the first rocket artillery battalion, this town is all crushing the Qing army from equipment to morale to training level to fighting will.

"There really is no problem!"

Yang Feng said with a serious expression.

His subordinates are fine, but he has a problem!

How did he get to Beijing in five days?

"Gather all the best carpenters, tailors, and blacksmiths in Nanking at once, and I'm going to make something new!"

Yang Feng said to his new fairychild.

"Immortal Venerable, what are you going to do?"

Shi Xianggu, a girl from the Tan family who was snatched by Zheng Yi and dedicated to Xianzun, said cautiously.

Originally, she was accepted by Zheng Yi in history, and then became the boss of the Red Flag Gang after Zheng Yi's death, and conquered the pirates of the entire South China Sea with Zheng Yi's adopted son Zhang Bao, and even became the actual ruler of the South China Sea......

Well, she is the lady Qing who has half a foot of powder on her face, and her official name is Zheng Yi's sister-in-law.

The Pirate King of the South Seas.

It's just that now she is just a fairy child in front of Xianzun.

"I'm going to build a flying boat."

Yang Feng said.

He's going to build an airship.

If he wants to rush to Beijing in five days, there is no possibility from the land, not even to get a four-wheel drive car, this straight-line distance is more than 1,000, and he must pass through the area controlled by the Qing army, even if the latter is not able to stop him, then he has to overcome the countless rivers along the way, overcome the difficulties of the road, overcome the failure of the vehicle, and a bunch of inevitable or accidental troubles. And it can't be walked from the sea, this waterway is more than 1,005, even modern ships have to walk for a few days, not to mention those sailing ships at this time, so the best way is to fly directly from the sky, but don't think about the plane, even a small Cessna is not something that Xiao Qian can teleport to him.

There is a limit to the size of the passage she can open, and a 4WD is the limit.

Unless it's a small aircraft that is broken down into pieces.

But then he still has to assemble.

If it's an airship, it's much simpler.

A bamboo skeleton, a small airship with multiple layers of silk skin, can be made with the help of craftsmen at this time, as for the helium filled in it to find Xiaoqian to solve, the rest is a high-horsepower gasoline engine plus a wooden propeller, the former let Xiaoqian find an auto repair shop to get him, nothing more than to make a steel frame and fix it on it, and then add a propeller and a wooden rudder to adjust the direction, and the oil supply is directly used gravity to supply oil. A 100-horsepower engine with half a ton of fuel is basically enough, and the speed is estimated to be more than 100 without pressure, so it takes four days to build such an airship, and then it can support him to fly to Beijing in half a day.

The only obstacle that this kind of thing needs to overcome is the wind in the sky.

But that's not a problem.

If he really had to be blown down by a strong wind, it could only be said that it was providential, in fact, the probability of such a situation was extremely low, and the airship was not a hot air balloon, especially the helium airship was safer.

Then when Lin Qing attacked the palace, he could fall from the sky with a colorful glow.

The Immortal Venerable who came to the Imperial City for the second time was a disaster for the Qing Demon.

(For well-known reasons, the Qianlong time and space will end as soon as possible.) ）
