Chapter 129 Shocking the Capital
Guan Shaoqing’s move was very sudden.

From the moment he attacked to the moment he killed Nalan Yuanshu, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

This made it almost impossible for everyone present to react. Even the two martial arts masters Huang Feihong and Yan Zhendong could not help but feel horrified. You know, Nalan Yuanshu was a martial arts master, but such a martial arts master was killed instantly by Guan Shaoqing.

How terrifying is Guan Shaoqing’s strength.

It’s no wonder that Nalan Yuanshu mistakenly thought that Guan Shaoqing was a martial arts grandmaster, because Guan Shaoqing’s current strength is indeed far beyond the level of a martial arts grandmaster.

Yan Zhendong, who had originally decided to follow Guan Shaoqing mainly for money and power, now looked at Guan Shaoqing with a bit more awe.

Even Huang Feihong was no exception. When he looked at Guan Shaoqing, there was a bit more awe in his eyes. This was an instinctive awe for the strong.

“You, you actually dared to kill the Admiral?!”

The Qing officials under Nalan Yuanshu looked at Guan Shaoqing in disbelief, with expressions of shock and horror. They never thought that Guan Shaoqing would be so bold as to kill Nalan Yuanshu directly.

You should know that Nalan Yuanshu was the Qing Dynasty’s commander-in-chief of land and sea in eastern Guangdong, and also the main general of the Qing army in eastern Guangdong.

As a result, he was killed by Guan Shaoqing.

Guan Shaoqing said nothing more. He looked at Nalan Yuanshu who had spoken and raised his hand to slap the official again.

boom–

As bright red blood spit out of his mouth, his internal organs were instantly shattered into flesh paste by Guan Shaoqing’s palm, and he died on the spot.

The remaining Qing officials and soldiers who were originally under Nalan Yuanshu were so frightened that their faces turned pale as paper. They dared not say a word for fear of being killed by Guan Shaoqing.

“Nalan Yuansu colluded with the White Lotus Sect and attacked the Guangdong Medical Association, causing chaos. He also attempted to assassinate me during the chaos. His crimes are unforgivable. I have now executed him on the spot. Considering that you were unaware of this, I will now give you a chance to turn from evil to good. Those who surrender to me will not be killed.”

At this time, Guan Shaoqing also looked at the Qing officials and soldiers who were originally under Nalan Yuanshu’s command and said coldly.

“That’s right, Nalan Yuanshu colluded with the White Lotus Sect to cause rebellion and even attempted to assassinate the Young Marshal. He deserves death. We are willing to turn from evil to good, testify to the court, expose Nalan Yuanshu’s crimes, and submit to the Young Marshal!”

“We are willing to abandon the dark and join the light, and submit to the young commander!”

“.”

After hearing what Guan Shaoqing said, the remaining Qing officials and soldiers under Nalan Yuanshu also put down their weapons and knelt down to Guan Shaoqing.

Now that Nalan Yuanshu is dead, it is naturally impossible for them to fight for a dead man and Guan Shaoqing.

After all, the imperial court only gave them a small salary per month, and in many cases, their salary was even withheld.

Who is willing to risk his life?

“Don’t worry, as long as you truly submit, I will forgive you for what you did in the past. As long as you work hard and obey me in the future, I will definitely not treat you unfairly.”

Seeing this, Guan Shaoqing couldn’t help but nodded with satisfaction.

Guan Shaoqing is not a narrow-minded person. As long as these people are willing to surrender, he will naturally give them a chance.

Moreover, the number of Qing troops in eastern Guangdong could not be ignored by him, as there were more than 10,000 troops.

This is a large number of people, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. If used well, it will be enough to cause some turmoil.

At the same time, according to Guan Shaoqing’s knowledge, most of the Qing Dynasty’s troops in eastern Guangdong commanded by Nalan Yuanshu were still naval forces, so Nalan Yuanshu also held the position of Admiral of Land and Sea.

It just so happens that their Guan family is currently lacking a navy. If they can recruit, digest, and train the Qing court’s navy into their Guan family’s navy, it will undoubtedly increase the Guan family’s power again and make up for the shortcomings of the navy.

“We swear to follow the young marshal until death!”

The surrendered Qing soldiers also shouted loudly.

“Very good. Now I will give you a chance to redeem yourself from your crimes. Nalan Yuanshu has been executed on the spot for colluding with the White Lotus Sect to cause rebellion. From now on, I will take over the Qing army.”

“The White Lotus Sect has repeatedly committed rebellion and disobeyed the law, committing heinous crimes. From now on, this young marshal will lead you to completely eradicate the White Lotus Sect and give you the opportunity to atone for your sins.”

“Yes.”

“Master Huang, I plan to lead my troops to completely eradicate the White Lotus Sect in eastern Guangdong and restore peace and order to the people of eastern Guangdong. So I will leave the guild hall to you for now.” Guan Shaoqing looked at Huang Feihong again and said.

What should be given to Wong Fei-hung?
Naturally, the purpose was to help recruit medical talents. After all, the purpose of Guan Shaoqing’s trip was to recruit medical talents and prepare for the opening of the medical school.

Huang Feihong naturally knew this, and nodded seriously when he heard it.

“Don’t worry, Marshal. I’ll leave this matter to Huang.”

“I feel relieved with Master Huang’s words.”

Then Guan Shaoqing looked at Lu Wenyuan and said.

“Mr. Lu, I want to completely eradicate the White Lotus Sect. Would you be interested in going with me to take a look?”

Lu Wenyuan knew that Guan Shaoqing had invited him not just to watch the White Lotus Sect being wiped out, but he must have something to talk to him about.

However, judging by Guan Shaoqing’s decisive action in killing Nalan Yuanshu earlier, it was clear that Guan Shaoqing had no respect for the Qing court and was not a loyalist. In this case, it was unclear whether Guan Shaoqing could become someone who shared the same ideals as himself. Thinking of this, Lu Wenyuan couldn’t help but smile.

“It is an honor for me to be invited by the young marshal.”

Then Guan Shaoqing first took Yan Zhendong, Lu Wenyuan, the Qing troops who had just surrendered, and his guards company to the Qing army camp and took over the entire Qing army. Then he led the surrendered Qing army directly to the White Lotus headquarters.

Faced with Guan Shaoqing’s army, the White Lotus Sect had no power to resist at all. In less than half an hour, the entire White Lotus Sect base camp was razed to the ground by Guan Shaoqing’s army. Then, with the help of the surrendered Qing army generals, Guan Shaoqing successively cleared out several secret strongholds of the White Lotus Sect.

The reason why the Qing army was so familiar with the secret stronghold of the White Lotus Sect was naturally because the Qing army led by Nalan Yuanshu and the White Lotus Sect had been secretly colluding with each other over the years, so the two sides were familiar with each other.

But at this moment, facing the sudden betrayal by the Qing army after its surrender, the White Lotus Sect suffered a devastating disaster.

After leading his army to clear out the White Lotus Sect’s headquarters and secret strongholds in the provincial capital of eastern Guangdong, Guan Shaoqing issued an order to wipe out the White Lotus Sect throughout the entire province of eastern Guangdong.

Since the White Lotus Sect has already been attacked, Guan Shaoqing will naturally have to use lightning speed to completely eliminate the White Lotus Sect from eastern Guangdong.

Otherwise, the existence of an illegal organization like the White Lotus Sect in the country would undoubtedly be a potential threat to the rule of their Guan family.

A week later.

The White Lotus Sect was basically eradicated throughout the entire eastern Guangdong province. Although there were still a few that escaped the net, they basically dared not show up. On the surface, the White Lotus Sect was completely wiped out in the eastern Guangdong province.

In addition, Guan Shaoqing completely controlled the more than 10,000 Qing troops who surrendered by means of reorganization and placement of his confidants.

After the rectification, the surrendered Qing army was completely reorganized into a navy by Guan Shaoqing on the basis of the original navy of the Qing army. It was named the Guangdong East Navy. The division commander was Guan Wen, who was transferred from the Fifth Division by Guan Shaoqing, and the deputy division commander was Guan Hao, who was transferred from his father by Guan Shaoqing. They were both confidants of the Guan family. In addition, Guan Shaoqing also placed many middle-level officers in the changed navy.

This rectification also allowed Guan Shaoqing to completely control the surrendered Qing troops.

At the same time, the Guangdong Navy, which surrendered to the Qing army and was reorganized, was directly commanded by Guan Shaoqing.

The troops directly commanded by Guan Shaoqing thus reached two divisions, one army division and one naval division, totaling nearly 30,000 people.

The position of deputy division commander of the 5th Division, which Guan Wen originally held, was promoted to Wu Chenglong, and Wu Chenghu was also promoted to brigade commander, and another deputy brigade commander was promoted.

As a result, the Guan family’s power in eastern Guangdong grew again. At the same time, it completely solved the two unstable factors of the Qing army threat and the White Lotus Sect in eastern Guangdong, and its reputation became even greater than before.

But this time.

The news also reached the imperial court in the capital.

The imperial court in the capital was shaken violently.

But after the initial shock, there was no further news.

After all, things have come to this point. What can the Qing court do? Can it send a large army to attack eastern Guangdong and the Guan family? But the problem is, can the Qing court mobilize enough troops to attack eastern Guangdong? Even if it can, what if it fails to win?

The current Qing court is like a small boat on the sea, which can basically no longer withstand strong winds and waves.

Even if they knew the news from eastern Guangdong, they would not dare to send troops to attack directly. Instead, they had to appease the people on the surface.

The Qing court today has long lost its control over the world.
