I will hold high the dragon flag in the world of the heavens

Chapter 128 Qianlong: Are the weapons gone?Is that elder brother trying to usurp the throne?
An important minister of the Qing Dynasty questioned Gao Bin angrily.

But Gao Bin, who was familiar with Qianlong, knew that he should not be as angry as before at this moment!
That fifth elder brother is Qianlong's favorite son.

"Your Majesty, that Nanman suddenly led Dai Zi to fire a cannonball and put forward conditions on the grounds of... intellectual property rights. This matter is too strange."

Bursting firecrackers is a secret of the Qing Dynasty, if the secret is leaked suddenly, someone must leak it!
"It must be because of some negligence that they noticed the abnormality. And those Nanman actions must be to provoke us to use weapons rashly!"

"My Qing army has not yet completed the preparation and training, and a large number of weapons have not yet been installed. If we follow their way, we will definitely cause the court to suffer greater damage! Your Majesty, please think twice."

A group of courtiers glared at Gao Bin angrily, but Gao Bin just kowtowed tearfully.

"My lord, starting a war rashly will definitely cause heavy losses to the Qing Dynasty. We are not sure of victory. If we delay for a month, wait until the arrival of Tsarist Russian weapons and equip an army of [-] Musketeers, we will have a chance to fight the Nanman and Westerners." decisive battle."

"Wang Sheng is considering the overall situation, temporarily suppressing Dragon Fury!"

After speaking, he knelt on the ground, waiting for Qianlong to speak!

Some ministers who have good friends with Gao Bin or have no confidence in the war also appeared.

"Your Majesty, our Qing army is indeed not ready, and the warships built by Deng Lai's generation have not formed combat effectiveness. If we start a war rashly, our Qing Dynasty will definitely fall into a passive position." Said the Governor of Water Transport.

Liu Tongxun also supported Gao Bin: "Although the words of the high school hall have lost the power of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners are not equipped with new muskets. We just need to be patient for a while, and then use thunderous means to destroy the southern barbarians in one fell swoop." Their arrogance."

"That's true. The Nanman's arrogance is so arrogant, and we have to resort to paralyzing tactics."

Hearing that everyone disagreed with starting the war, Qianlong breathed a sigh of relief.

If you start a war rashly, if you are not sure of victory, the fifth elder brother will definitely suffer.

Only when the Qing Dynasty wins steadily, can the fifth elder brother be safer.

Not only for the victory of the Qing Dynasty, but also for the safety of the fifth elder brother. Qianlong did not agree to start a war rashly.

"Back then, Goujian tried his best to kill the King of Wu. Since all the lovers have said so, then Daqing will bear with it for a while. Let the sticky stick investigate why the news of the continuous firing of guns leaked out."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Another round of compliments...

"Since this is the case, let Gao Bin be in charge of the Hanxuan Nanman. This time, we must drag it to the Rakshasa weapon to be transported and equip the army."

"twitter!"

"Ah Gui, I also entrust you with a task. Since that Nanman said that you are challenging the contract by tearing up the contract, then you should call Barutu and Nanman to have a good fight and see how powerful I am, Big Barutu. That Nanman who doesn't know Tianwei is amazing!"

"Cha!" Ah Gui nodded excitedly.

"Okay, let's leave this matter as it is, let the Eight Banners and the various ministries of the Green Camp take care of it."

"twitter!"

The courtiers of the Qing Dynasty left the Ziguang Pavilion, and then the military ministers of the Qianlong Dynasty stayed behind. After discussing the military plans, they left one after another.

Before getting on the dragon chariot, Qianlong said to the official historian: "Record this meeting to make that Nanman more domineering."

The more domineering the enemy is, the more he endures the humiliation, and when he wins the battle in the future, he will be more wise and powerful.

The historian nodded respectfully.

With the departure of the Qing court officials, Ziguang Pavilion returned to calm.

After some time, an intelligence bionic mechanical bird that stayed here landed, absorbed the eavesdropping robot left outside the door of the purple light pavilion, and then flew away quietly.

Chen Mu's residence.

Everyone gathered in one place: "After the intelligence collection is completed, it is basically determined that the Qing court is not going to fight a decisive battle."

"We haven't delivered paper letters to the base camp for two days. Let's attack according to the original plan!"

"Okay ~ ground pot! Ground pot, I'm a potato. The dishes are ready and can be stir-fried."

Soon, the radio signal was activated, passing through Jinmen, and then transmitted to Zhuang Yan's fleet far away at sea.

"When the ground pot is received, we will add oil, salt, sauce and vinegar!"

Soon, more than 30 warships originally entrenched in this area turned around and approached Jinmen.

The night ability of the Denglai Navy is useless.

At this moment, they don't know that a fleet has landed from Jinmen!

When the expedition fleet was dispatched, the investigators from Chen Mu's side also began to collect various information.

In fact, a long time ago, a caravan used Li Shiyao's name to do business in the capital and spy on various types of information.

Thanks to the cross-age drones and military reconnaissance birds.

They obtained all the ordnance production workshops of the Qing Dynasty in the capital a long time ago.The continuous fire gun was also learned at that time.

Here I want to complain about the Eight Banners Firearms Unit of the Qing Army.

Because the green battalion of the Han army was restrained, the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia were mainly equipped with firearms in the Qing Dynasty.

The nearly [-] muskets produced by the Qing court were all arranged in several military camp warehouses in the capital.

Although so many firearms have been produced, there are only a small number of weapons to train soldiers to go into battle. Instead, a large number of weapons are put into the warehouse.

Don't you know that soldiers need to practice more to become elite soldiers?
September [-]th, ten o'clock in the evening.

Chen Mu, who was wearing night clothes, was leaning against a corner somewhere.

"Chen Mu, the drone has launched. We are confirming the enemy... Uh, the Qing court spies are squatting in the tub. You can go out in a fair manner."

Chen Mu: "..."

Chen Mu, who had been waiting for the battle, jumped lightly and climbed over the three-meter-high wall.

With the help of Chen Mu who has an extraordinary physique in "Tiger Fighting Technique" and the T-virus enhancement, coupled with the fact that he has been actively cultivating internal skills in this world for more than a year, his strength has long been extraordinary.

He only needs a simple run-up, and he can easily climb the seven or eight-meter-high city wall.

With high-altitude drones and infrared reconnaissance equipment, Chen Mu easily bypassed the patrols and surveillance sentries of the Qing court.

Prompts sounded one after another in the earphones, and Chen Mu, who was integrated with the night, rushed left and right, shuttling through the capital of the Qing Dynasty like a fish.

In less than 5 minutes, he escaped the military camp to detect the sentries and arrived at a place where guns and ammunition were stored in the Qing court.

Then he took out the infrared detector to confirm that there were no people dozing off or stealing fish in the blind spots around him, and then Chen Mu took out the special master key to open the door easily.

Looking at the arsenal in front of him, Chen Mu chuckled.

If the Qing court soldiers guarding the ordnance knew that all the firearms in the barracks were gone, I wonder if they would go crazy.

I don't know how many people will lose their heads!

Chen Mu put aside his distracting thoughts, and put his hand in front of the weapon.

The musket that was originally in the box disappeared immediately.

After a while, countless firearms placed in wooden boxes were stored in his portable space.

Although the portable space of ten meters in length, width and height is not big enough, the volume of a musket is only so much.

Chen Mu's portable space can accommodate thousands of rifles at a time.

There are more than 1 weapons in the barracks, and Chen Mu only made nine trips with the artillery, and it took more than two hours to get all of them done.

More than 4 muskets arranged by the Qing court were divided into eight arsenals.

This armory stores the most muskets, and Chen Mu spent a lot of time carrying them.

There are fewer muskets in several other armories.There are as many as four to five thousand for the three banners, and as few as the musket battalions for the five banners have no more than 2000 rifles.

Chen Mu ran dozens of times that night, and finally put all the firearms in several designated storage places.

The soldiers who had prepared long ago buried all these ordnance, and then carried out camouflage processing.

Even if someone came here to dig three feet, they still couldn't find the rifle!
These ordnance cannot be taken out in a short time.

They need to be temporarily stored in the capital and transported out after the arrival of their large troops.

Busy until after four o'clock, Chen Mu finally emptied the Qing court's ammunition.

Chen Mu, who was almost collapsed from exhaustion, hid in the pavilion and fell asleep, completely ignoring the riots in the Qing court military camp the next day.

……

09:30am.

Uliangha, the small banner inlaid with the H flag, yawned, and then opened the armory.

"Uh?"

Seeing the empty ordnance room, Uliangha was stunned.

Then rub your eyes!

Not a hallucination.

I pinched my own face, it hurts.

Uliangha still didn't believe what he saw, he rushed into the armory and rummaged through the boxes...

"Empty, how could it be empty? This is impossible!"

"Why is this happening?"

"Do not……"

Accompanied by a shrill scream in the armory, the Eight Banners Barracks was in complete chaos.

Soon, all kinds of abuse, scolding, horrible howls came from the Eight Banners armory, and all kinds of shouting and haunting voices rang out in the barracks!
The Eight Banners Barracks in the capital was in complete chaos.

At 09:30 in the morning, the person in charge of several banners rushed into the Ministry of War sweating profusely to report the news.

Later, the sad news that the advanced firearms and weapons built by the Qing Dynasty at all costs disappeared came to the Military Aircraft Department.

Then, the military ministers of the Qing Dynasty were also shocked!

Liu Tongxun slipped the collar of the commissioned shotgun guards: "What did you say? All the Eight Banners muskets in the capital disappeared overnight?"

"Yes, my lord, it's all gone. It's like seeing a ghost. It was fine when I checked yesterday, but it was all gone overnight."

Liu Tongxun didn't believe it, so he went directly to the Eight Banners armory to check.

After some investigation, it was confirmed that all the armories had no signs of being damaged by external forces.

"Arrest all the people who were on duty last night, and no one will be let go. The general camp is sealed off, and no one is allowed to act without authorization. I will report to the Holy Majesty!"

When he went to find the emperor, he met Agui and others again.

Hearing that everyone said that the musket had disappeared, I knew something big was going to happen.

When the military ministers saw Qianlong and reported the news, Qianlong couldn't believe what they said!
"It's impossible. Forty-eight thousand muskets and hundreds of cannons disappeared overnight. This must be false news."

A group of important military ministers knelt even lower!
The important ministers did not respond, and Qianlong took a sharp breath.

Qianlong asked anxiously: "Can all the military camps take action?"

Tens of thousands of muskets disappeared, which made him smell danger.

"No military order, no transfer!"

"Where are all the elder brothers and Baylor and Beizi?"

"They were all summoned urgently and are on their way here."

Soon, a eunuch came to report that the brothers had gathered in the Forbidden City.

After a while, the news of the gathering of princes and Lord Baylor came.

It's not remonstrance and rebellion!

Qianlong breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously: "Let all ministries strictly guard against death, and not be easily transferred."

"twitter!"

Qianlong asked his confidant to control the Forbidden City again, and then said: "Show me, I will go and see the situation of the armory in person."

After testing along the way, Qianlong didn't find anyone who had the intention of treason.

He was so nervous that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to ensure safety, he personally went to the Eight Banners Armory to watch it.

Nothing to gain.

The subordinates interrogated the guards and confirmed that everything disappeared out of thin air. Qianlong was so angry that his eyes turned black and he almost couldn't stand still!

This is a flintlock gun that the Qing Dynasty spent countless resources to produce.

It's all gone!
Who did it?
"Seal the city gates and investigate the whole city. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find those weapons for me!"

"twitter!"

"Let people go to the ordnance workshop, protect the craftsmen, and never let them get hurt."

"twitter!"

The ministries of the Eight Banners received orders to directly blockade the capital.

Countless soldiers began to investigate from house to house.

In order to ensure that it wasn't done by Chen Mu, Minister of Military Aircraft Liu Tongxun and others also personally came to invite them to change to another hospital.

Chen Mu and others readily accepted.

After some investigation, the embassy was almost demolished, but there was no place to hide weapons!

Eight Banners soldiers also searched the barracks from inside to outside several times.

For three days, the entire capital city was smoky, but they couldn't find any traces of guns.

"What's going on? Why did it disappear out of thin air?"

"Tens of thousands of muskets can't be found at all!"

"The barracks have been dug three feet into the ground, but we can't find any weapons."

"Have you found any clues?"

"Everything is unknown."

The guards of the ordnance are all the Eight Banners who are rooted in Zhengmiaohong. The ordnance in a warehouse may be connected with the inside and outside, or someone may be plotting to do something wrong, but all the muskets of the Eight Banners Army have disappeared. This is definitely not human.

Who on earth, or a ghost, secretly took these weapons away?

When the capital was in a commotion looking for weapons, they didn't know that a bigger crisis was coming...
