The Counterattack of the Villains in the Movie World

Chapter 119 That Man Zao Wou-Ki

"In 1853, as an American minister, I visited the Qing Dynasty, which is the last dynasty of the current Ming Empire on the land of China."

"When I determined that the backward and ignorant Qing Dynasty could not solve the Taiping Rebellion that was taking place in a short period of time, I thought this was a good opportunity for the United States to interfere in the internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty and take this opportunity to expand the relevant treaty rights."

"But they rejected my proposal, because they felt that the Qing government still had enough military power, and the slave owners in the country were unwilling to give up their power. The conflict between the capitalist class and the slave owners became more and more serious, and some There's a local conflict."

"However, in my opinion, the best way to resolve internal conflicts is to create external ones. The Qing court, which is backward and ignorant but occupies a large and fertile land, is perfect. For this reason, I decided to get more information to prove that the so-called military strength of the Qing court has actually been corrupted to the point of being vulnerable."

"In 1852, the Qing government formed a military force composed entirely of musketeers. In our opinion, this configuration is still very backward, because they do not have many artillery pieces, and they lack completely self-developed firearms. But at that time No matter how you look at it, this army named Zhuangyuanying was one of the most powerful military strengths of the Qing court at that time.

"From a historical point of view, the Zhuangyuan Battalion was the most powerful military force in the world at that time, because the leader of the Zhuangyuan Battalion was the last military champion of the Qing Dynasty - Zhao Wuji, and the founding emperor of the Ming Empire - Zhao Wuji. Promise."

"The title of Wu Zhuangyuan can be simply understood as one of the most powerful people in the Qing Dynasty. The reason why it is called one is because every three years, the Qing Dynasty will select the strongest person from more than 4 million people. Big people. More than 4 million people, it is really unimaginable, I think this is also the main reason why the State Council rejected my proposal, they are worried that the Qing court can casually form an army with more than [-] million people.”

"From a historical point of view, Zao Wou-ki, the last champion of martial arts in the Qing Dynasty, can also be called the most powerful man in the Qing Dynasty, or even the most powerful man in the world. Human beings, and there should be no controversy. However, at that time, we did not know what kind of history Zao Wou-Ki would create."

"The champion battalion led by Zhao Wuji, the last martial arts champion, was finally released by the Qing court when facing the Northern Expedition of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Moreover, Zao Wou-ki's amazing choice surprised everyone. He directly led the people from the north to Shanghai by boat, and after a short rest, the whole army attacked and marched forward, and rushed to Tianjing, 150 miles away, without any tactics."

"At that time, I felt that my IQ was insulted, not only me, Sir Troupes from England, General Frank from France, Colonel Conrad from Germany, etc., also felt that my IQ was insulted .”

"It's not a question of only 3000 real soldiers in the No. 20 Scholar Battalion, while Tianjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, has at least [-] battle-ready soldiers. It's also not a question of guns versus cold weapons. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also has muskets and artillery, let alone a surprise attack on the enemy's base camp. It's a question of tactics...but a conceited and arrogant idiot who is using behaviors that no one can understand to ruin the last dignity of the Qing court."

"Yes, at that time we all thought that Zao Wou-ki was an idiot, an egomaniac, and a lunatic."

"I feel that my chance has come, so I, as the American envoy, brought Sir Troupes, General Frank, Colonel Conrad, and the army we formed in Shanghai to inform the warring parties in advance, Prepare to be on the spot to see how the last dignity of the Qing court was dismantled."

"With the witnesses and the physical evidence I brought with the cameraman to take pictures, I believe that after this battle, the State Council will definitely agree to my proposal to intervene in the internal rebellion of the Qing Dynasty and take this opportunity to gain more benefits. I also Being able to take this opportunity…”

"When we arrived at the first official confrontation between the Zhuangyuan Battalion and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's army, the military champion Zao Wou-ki led 3000 Musketeers to face the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's 2 elite front-on battlefield, we were once again shocked by Zao Wou-ki's arrogance. Because he rushed to the 2 elite soldiers alone, please note that he was not holding a musket, but a long spear, a cold weapon in China, similar to the weapons used by knights in earlier eras. "

"Can you imagine our shock? A knight single-handedly rushed to [-] elite soldiers. Those elite soldiers still have muskets, artillery and other weapons, and they have already completed their formation."

"If he had only one person, such behavior is justifiable, but he was not alone, he had 3000 musketeers. But he ordered the 3000 musketeers to stay where they were, which was at the time From our point of view, megalomaniac and idiotic, not even lunatic is enough to describe him."

"Afterwards, we learned that Zao Wou-ki, the champion of martial arts and the leader of the battalion at that time, said to his soldiers before charging alone: ​​Today, I, Zhao Wuji, will kill seven in and seven out first. If I die, You disperse on your own. If I don't die, you will follow me straight to Nanjing and make great achievements in the world."

"This sentence, this kind of behavior, may be the reason why all the soldiers in the army led by Zao Wou-ki were not afraid of death and followed Zao Wou-ki all the time with a loyalty that is difficult for normal people to understand. "

"It's hard for me to continue writing this, because whenever I think back to the scene I saw at that time, I feel breathless. I have a photo that I have cherished for a long time, that is Zao Wou-ki's solo rushing. A photo of the horse being shot by the musketeers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, not only did not die, but rose into the air.”

【photo】.

"Seeing this photo, you should be able to imagine how shocked Zao Wou-Ki was to us at that time. After that battle, whether it was me, Sir Tropes, General Frank, or Colonel Conrad, As well as people from other countries, they all came to the same conclusion: Zao Wou-ki will not die, and the Qing Dynasty will be invincible in the world."

"However, history has proved that our conclusion at that time was wrong. It is not that Zao Wou-ki is dead. The whole world knows that even in the 20th century, the founding emperor of the Ming Empire, Zao Wou-ki, is not dead."

"Our mistake is that Zao Wou-ki's invincibility is not equal to the invincibility of the Qing Dynasty. The corrupt and ignorant Qing Dynasty, with a thinking mode that is difficult for normal people to understand, gave up on Zao Wou-ki, who could make them invincible in the world, and even wanted to Kill Zao Wou-Ki."

"Therefore, there is Zao Wou-ki who is the world's enemy. Therefore, there is the world-invincible Zao Wou-ki. Hence, there is the Ming Empire of Zao Wou-ki."

——Excerpted from "The Memoirs of Marshalli: The Story That Man and I Have to Tell".

……

Unbeknownst to Mashali, he would write a memoir decades later and swindle some fortune with a bogus title.

At this time, Marshaly, who was the US envoy, was standing on a temporary platform under the protection of hundreds of elite soldiers, using binoculars to observe the two opposing forces in front of him. Those who had the same behavior as him, and Ministers and dignitaries of Britain, France, Tsarist Russia and other countries.

"What kind of pre-war mobilization do you think he will do to allow those 3000 people to attack the battle formation of 2 people?"

"I think that no matter what kind of mobilization he makes, it is impossible for 3000 people to follow him to attack the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, because they are too idiots, and they are completely dying."

"Didn't we have a war where thousands of people defeated the Qing court's tens of thousands of troops?"

"It's different. People in the Qing court didn't understand the use of firearms at all, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was also very good at using firearms."

"Marshall, what do you think?"

Marshali, who was named, did not put down his binoculars. He was looking at the leader of the No. [-] Scholar Battalion. At this time, he actually did not know that the other party was called Zhao Wuji. Although the information had mentioned it, he forgot.

"Of course I stood here watching." Marshali said with a smile: "Do you think that I will arrange for people to go to the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and ask them for the weapon and armor of the martial arts champion? Will they give it to me?" Woolen cloth?"

Frank of France laughed: "What's the point of collecting an idiot's arms and armor?"

Ma Shali replied: "Of course it is to prove how backward and ignorant the Qing court is... God, what is he doing?"

The sudden change in tone caused the person next to him who had put down the binoculars to pick it up again, and then they all saw a scene that shocked them so much.

Zao Wou-ki, the leader of the No. 300 Scholar Battalion, single-handedly rushed to the [-] elite soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who were [-] meters away from him.

In fact, without binoculars, you can also rely on the location to see this scene. A small black spot launched a death charge.

Amidst the exclamation, the photographer kept adjusting the angle of the camera lens and the telescope, trying to capture the scene where Zao Wou-ki died on the spot, or the scene where he was accepted and surrendered by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army.

After being shocked, Marshali suddenly said: "It seems that our guess is not wrong. This general of the Qing court is actually going to surrender to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom."

The distance of 300 meters is not short, so Ma Shali and others still have a lot of time to communicate.

"That's how it is. If he surrendered alone, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would definitely be willing to accept it. But is he really so confident that his soldiers will surrender with him?"

"That's not important. After he surrendered, the morale of his army was low. Even if some people don't want to surrender, they don't know what to do. It's impossible to escape. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has cavalry troops."

"This man named Zao Wou-ki sent more than 3000 muskets to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he has a lot of ammunition. He will definitely become a high-ranking member of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After that, the Qing court will also fall into a more difficult situation."

A group of people analyzed, but suddenly found that something was wrong.

Zhao Wuji, who was galloping wildly, did not slow down at all when he was getting closer to the battle formation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, even if he had already entered the effective range of 30 meters.

If it was a surrender, he should have dismounted right now?
In the line of sight of the telescope, gunpowder smoke suddenly appeared, and the sound of gunfire also reached the ears of Marshali and others.

The musketeers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom received the order to shoot when Zao Wou-ki was more than ten meters away from them.

More than 20 guns fired at the same time, and those who rode forward on horseback would undoubtedly die at this distance.

However, Zao Wou-ki did not die.

"Oh, God."

"what is that?"

"Oh……"

Ma Shali and the others exclaimed again, and various modal particles unconsciously came out of their mouths.

Their binoculars or single eyes that were looking at the telescope also widened at this moment.

Because in their eyes, Zhao Wuji, who was undoubtedly dead, had already soared into the air when the gunshot sounded, and had already crossed a distance of more than ten meters when the shot horse fell to the ground.

A dazzling cold light streaked across the air.

It was a sharp and unparalleled spear tip, created by reflecting sunlight, an extraordinary picture like a miracle.

A loud bang.

It wasn't that Ma Shali and the others really heard the sound other than the gunshots, but a sound they made up in their brains after seeing Zhao Wuji's body smashed into the battle formation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Can humans jump over a distance of more than ten meters?
And, from the back of a galloping horse?

Even carrying a long gun that looks heavy, and wearing armor?

This unbelievable scene made Zao Wou-ki, who knew that he was going to fight alone, and Marshali and the others, who had no chance of death, suddenly had a strange idea that the man could rush in and kill him.

"No, it's impossible."

Marshall said something in a trembling voice.

The people next to him didn't know what he was referring to when he said it was impossible, but the idea of ​​"impossibility" appeared in everyone's mind at the same time, including those who didn't have a telescope but could barely see what happened of foreign soldiers.

Just then, they heard a voice.

"Zhao!"

It wasn't obvious and confusing at first, but it quickly became uniform.

It didn't come from the camp of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom soldiers who were a little flustered in some areas, but from the camp of champions who barely maintained their battle formation.

"Zhao!"

The voice became louder and louder, and Ma Shali and others could clearly hear it.

They could see more clearly that Zao Wou-ki, who rushed into the 2-strong battle formation, was still alive.

and……

That man is killing all directions.
