The Travelers of the Heavens

The rooster lands in the capital, and the Forbidden City nourishes the heart.

Emperor Jiaqing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, clutched two coupons with a livid face.

"Your Majesty, calm down. The foreigners are so audacious that they dare to invade Guangdong Province and even live in the Governor's Mansion. I ask the Emperor to immediately mobilize a large army to destroy the foreigners," Dong Gao said.

"According to my decree, the attack on the White Lotus Sect is suspended, and the cavalry troops outside the Pass are mobilized to go south to jointly destroy these foreigners." In order to eliminate Wang Yu's troops, Emperor Jiaqing directly stopped the crusade against the White Lotus Sect and also mobilized the fierce ancient cavalry to help.

But he did not want to think about it. The Menggu cavalry marched south to Guangdong, wouldn't they be acclimated to the climate? Furthermore, was there a geographical environment in the south that could support a large-scale cavalry attack? Apparently Emperor Jiaqing was confused by the contents of these two excerpts.

One of these two excerpts is What Ji Qing sent was a copy sent by the commanders of the Eight Banners stationed in Guangdong and Guangdong after their counterattack on Guangdong failed. The book Ji Qing sent was forced by Wang Yu to write it. Although the words were very humble, Emperor Jiaqing felt that this It's a mockery and ridicule to him

"Your Majesty, if we suspend the campaign to suppress the White Lotus Sect at this time, I am afraid that these traitors will think that the imperial court is weak and will launch a greater rebellion. I dare to ask my master to think again," Qinggui said.

"If you have any good ideas, please come quickly." Emperor Jiaqing said with suppressed anger.

"Yes, Master, from the perspective of a slave, these foreigners have traveled far across the ocean, and they must be short of food and grass. Although they occupy Guangdong Province, it is not a concern; on the other hand, the White Lotus Sect has frequently caused chaos since Emperor Gaozong's later years, costing the court tens of millions of silver. Two, and holding back my 200,000-strong army is a serious problem that cannot be tolerated. Therefore, I beg the master to continue to suppress the White Lotus Sect. As for the foreigners in Guangdong and Guangdong, an imperial envoy can be sent to Guangdong to negotiate with the foreigners and try to persuade the foreigners to leave. Qing Dynasty," Qinggui said

"Qingzhongtang, you actually bowed your head to foreigners. What do you mean?"Dong Gao asked Qinggui

"Master Dong, the White Lotus Sect and the Tianli Sect have been in chaos in the northwest of Sichuan and Sichuan for many years. All the elite soldiers and food and salary of the imperial court have been trapped in these places. We should not make new enemies at this time, otherwise there will be wars in many places and the imperial court will not be able to bear it over time." Qinggui told Dong Gao explained

"Well, Qinggui will send someone to Guangdong to see those foreigners and urge them to leave the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible." Emperor Jiaqing agreed to Qinggui's suggestion.

"Yes, I will send people to Yuezhou later to negotiate with the foreigners," Qinggui responded.

Soon a fourth-grade military aircraft department official rushed to Yuezhou City to negotiate with the"foreigners" with the"sacred mission" given to him by Emperor Jiaqing and Qinggui..At this time in Guangdong City, Wang Yu still stood still and waited for the envoys from the Qing Dynasty or the army that came to attack them.

"It's been so many days, why is there still no movement?" Chi Lian asked

"The capital is very far away from here, and I might not be able to go back this year," Wang Yu said with a smile.

"It takes more than ten days to travel thousands of miles and eight hundred miles by fast horse, and it takes several months for the army to move to battle. If it is an imperial envoy sent by the Qing court, it will be even more difficult to say; so I agree with your highness, it can’t be done This year we will all celebrate the New Year here," Chu Bufan said

"Fortunately, I brought Liu Angxing with me. The food here is really terrible," Chi Lian complained.

"Haha." Wang Yu smiled and said nothing.

"How is the morale of the army?" Wang Yu asked Chu Bufan

"Your Highness, the morale of the army is very good, and there are no problems with our supplies," Chu Bufan said.

"Try to let the soldiers bury the pots to make rice, eat less from the iron cans, and don’t eat the contents of the iron cans unless absolutely necessary," Wang Yu said

"Yes," Chu Bufan said

"The contents in that jar are indeed not very good," Chi Lian said.

The iron jars they were talking about were actually cans. Chu Bufan developed canned meat and canned fruits with the help of his own golden fingers, but the taste was really average. Chi Lian tasted it. The canned meat was not very good and she couldn't bear to eat it.

Wang Yu frowned and shook his head after taking a bite. But these cans can be stored for tens or hundreds of years without deterioration, and they may be of great use in the future.

The soldiers of Kyushu are very fond of these cans. The response has been good. There are also a large number of cans in the logistics materials carried this time. The soldiers are currently eating these cans to save trouble.

"These are some emergency foods, and they are also designed to allow soldiers to find gaps in fierce battles to quickly replenish their physical strength and continue fighting," Chu Bufan said

"Anyway, I don’t eat those things." Chi Lian still looked disgusted after hearing this. But she was destined to break her promise.

""You are so naughty!" Wang Yu laughed and scolded.

Chi Lian listened and ignored Wang Yu.

In September of the fifth year of Chongning in the Great Zhou Empire (the fifth year of Jiaqing in Gonglulu, 1800 AD), the Qing imperial envoy finally arrived in Guangdong City.

Due to the language barrier, something unpleasant happened at the North Gate. However, after hearing the news, Chu Bufan came to quell this minor incident and brought the Qing imperial envoy to the Governor's Mansion to meet with Wang Yu.

"Your Highness, this is Lord Sutuke, the envoy of the Qing Dynasty. He is a man with a red flag in Manchuria. His official residence is in Zhangjing, a military aircraft. He is a fourth-rank official." Chu Bufan introduced the person to Wang Yu.

"This is the King of Xining in our country." Chu Bufan introduced Wang Yu to Sutuke.

""The lower official has met the prince." When Sutuke heard that the other party was the king, he also clasped his fists and bent down to pay homage.

"Okay, please sit down," Wang Yu motioned.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sutuke sat down

"Mr. Su, thank you for coming all the way. I wonder what good news you have brought me?" Wang Yu asked after serving tea.

"Your Majesty, I am here to discuss your country’s withdrawal of troops with the Emperor’s order," Sutuk said.

"retreat? What's the meaning?"Wang Yu frowned.

Chu Bufan and Chi Lian, who were sitting opposite Sutuke, also frowned.

"To be honest, the prince led his troops to brazenly invade our Qing Dynasty's coastal areas, landed ashore without permission, and captured our docks and cities, killing tens of thousands of our officers and soldiers. The emperor was furious and wanted to mobilize a large army to annihilate your troops. Fortunately, a few people around him Your Excellency dissuaded me, and then I sent a subordinate to interview with the prince; as long as the prince leads his troops to leave immediately and guarantees that your ships and men will never come to our Qing Dynasty again, our emperor is kind and will not pursue this matter any more." Sutuke said as he spoke Showing a hint of arrogance, he even raised his fists to the ceiling to show respect for his master, Emperor Jiaqing.

"Hehe, Master Su, I'm afraid I haven't seen the situation clearly yet." Before Wang Yu could respond, Chu Bufan hated Su Tuke's attitude very much, and he shot back

"Mr. Chu, our Qing country has a vast territory, rich resources, and a large population. The emperor is a wise and kind king, and he does not want to be on the same level as your country. In my opinion, your country has no other choice but to immediately withdraw its troops and leave the Qing Dynasty," Sutuke said , the tone is very arrogant

"Mr. Su is absolutely right in what he said. Your country is a heavenly country. I have admired it for a long time. Our country is a small country. I came here just to see your emperor for protection. Unexpectedly, your navy suddenly attacked me. The fleet, I ordered to go ashore to find your governors of Guangdong and Guangdong to ask for an explanation. I don’t want to be attacked by your land army again, which leads to the current dilemma." Wang Yu was not angry at all, he first affirmed status of the Qing Dynasty, and then throw the blame on the other party

"In this case, the prince can send an envoy to inform the governors of Guangdong and Guangdong, and then the governors of Guangdong and Guangdong will report to the emperor," Sutuke said

"I sent five envoys, but none of them turned around. I had no choice but to send people ashore." Wang Yu made it up.

"What? Is there such a thing?!"Sutuke was confused. His understanding of the current situation between Guangdong and Guangdong was only through a few letters and excerpts, and the specific situation was still unclear.

"We suspect that your soldiers intercepted and killed our envoy, but the governors of Guangdong and Guangdong did not give a reasonable explanation in time. As the saying goes, if the two countries are at war, the envoy will not be killed, and besides, your country and we were not at war at that time; if our envoy If he is really killed by your country’s soldiers, then our country will lodge a solemn protest against your country," Chu Bufan continued.

"This matter is just your unilateral statement without any evidence," Sutuk said.

"But it is true that your country’s army suddenly launched an attack on us; Mr. Su boasted that your country is a heavenly country and the emperor is a wise king. Is it true that fighting without declaring war is the true face of your country?" Chu Bufan continued to blame.

"you"Sutuk's anger knot

"Lord Su, please calm down, we are just stating the facts, and we hope that Lord Su will forgive you," Wang Yu said

"I don’t know how the prince can withdraw his troops." After thinking for a while, Sutuk asked.

"Our army plans to go to the capital to meet the emperor of your country and offer gifts, and then consider retreating," Wang Yu said

"This is absolutely impossible! The emperor has already issued an edict that foreigners are not allowed to enter the capital at will and are not allowed to form queues." Sutuke flatly refused.
