Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

"Last year we fought Sang Gan Yuan, and this year we fought Onion River. "Soldiers, take out the waves on the sea, and put in the snow-capped grass on Ma Tianshan …" Zuo Zongtang's eyes filled with tears. He blurted out Li Bai's novel, Battle City South!

Liu Jintang was also a scholar, and upon hearing this poem, his emotions surged, and he continued to recite.

"The Huns cultivated by slaughtering. In ancient times, they only saw white bones and yellow sand fields." Marshal Zuo continued reciting!

"The Qin family has built a city as a shelter, but the Han family still has a beacon."

"The flames of war never cease, and there is no time for war. If we die in battle, the sky will be filled with grief from our defeat. "

"Wu Yuan pecks people's intestines and flies onto a withered branch."

"Soldiers daub grass and grass, General Kong will do it."

At the end of the chant, both of them burst into tears. "The only one who knows is a deadly weapon, the Saints have no choice but to use it."

"Go!" Upstairs! Let me have a look at the rekindling of the thousand-year beacons! Bring my camera... Get it, send it to Great Marshal Zeng, show it to Xiao Letian … "

"They are not the only heroes of the world! The one with no reputation outside the Western Regions is the real hero! "

On a cold night, Zuo Zongtang climbed up the Jiayuguan's City Tower. The tens of thousands of people in the Western Battle Army all rushed up to the top of the city walls.

In the pitch black night, people could see bits and pieces of fire that were like stars, but the black smoke was twisting and struggling to fly up into the sky. Even if it was night time, you could still make out his trail.

They all thought about the Han Tang, and how whenever this beacon of war burned down, it was an early warning from the nomadic peoples's cavalry. But today, everyone knew that this beacon fire must have been ignited by the vanguard General Xu, that he must have sent his troops out of the Stellar Gorge, that he must have succeeded!

Zuo Zongtang held onto the battlements, he seemed to be able to feel the warmth that the smiths of the Ming Dynasty used to make bricks, and he could even feel the scratches the soldiers had made on the walls for hundreds of years.

"Just how many people did I stand here today in the past?" They have become yellow sand bones, one day I... Including the fact that we will become bones of yellow sand! "

"But this pass will always be here, and the land opened by the ancestors will never be lost!"

"Who can survive? "As long as I die, it will be worth it!"

"Brothers!" I want to ask you a question... If I were to ignite the flames of war on the Jiayuguan now … Guess if it will get to the capital in the end! "

No one could answer this question, because the Great Wall was completely useless to the Qing Dynasty. It could even be said that the Qing Dynasty had a kind of memory of hatred towards the Great Wall!

This wall was the barrier that blocked the Northern nomadic peoples back in the day. There were countless corpses of invaders buried under this wall.

Therefore, since the Qing Dynasty, the Great Wall had never been repaired. However, not being repaired did not mean that these people would abolish the Great Wall's defense system!

The emperors of the early Qing dynasty were knowledgeable. They knew that the Great Wall defense system developed by the Chinese strategists for thousands of years was very well-established and scientific.

Although the nomadic peoples of the north had already formed an alliance with the Manchu and there would be no more wars, the passes and important roads of the Great Wall were also important military towns that controlled the territory.

Furthermore, defending these Great Wall Pass would at least allow them to collect taxes from the caravan, even if the merchants wanted to evade, they would not be able to do so. Furthermore, not only were there the princes of the alliance, there were also many scattered herdsman and Horse Bandits.

Today, Zuo Zongtang had gotten interested. He actually wanted to ignite a beacon of light in Jiayuguan, and send a message all the way there!

Liu Jintang's eyes immediately lit up. Whether it works or not, this action... That's all... It can make you famous for thousands of years! "

Zuo Zongtang laughed sinisterly: "Heh heh... He has also added a bit of firewood to our Chinese hearts! For Xiao Letian to be able to light a pile of beacons above the East Ocean, can't I light one in the Western Regions? "

"Haha …" The capital's Ceng Shuai! We're all the same people, hahaha … "

"Light the fire! Prepare the smoke! " All the hairs on Liu Jintang's body stood up straight! He was so excited that his entire body was trembling, and goosebumps appeared on his skin.

The soldiers did not understand what the marshal and general were so excited about, but they knew that this beacon was especially powerful. Just by looking at it, they could feel a fire rising in their hearts!

"Carry the firewood …" Carrying cow dung and hay! "

At Jiayuguan's Fire Beacon Tower, there was a pile of firewood the height of a man. It was mixed with dried cow dung and barrels of kerosene!

Liu Jintang knelt on the ground and raised the torch high up above his head.

"Marshal, please light the beacon!" The entire army shouted in unison.

Inside Jiayuguan, there were not only the western army, there were also King Shang Tai, Ghost Eye to the left, Innkeeper Fan Jin and other Expedition members walking along with them.

Shang Tai looked at this scene and his heart pounded like a drum, "This Great Qing is about to die! The Chinese Great Wall is about to restart the beacon system... "This, this, this, this …"

"The Great Wall belongs to the Chinese, not to the Manchu! This thing is done... "How would a knowledgeable Chinese person in this world figure it out?"

"Since ancient times, people have said that there is a dragon sealed underneath the Great Wall of Qin Xiu! This dragon will protect the safety of the Central Plains! "

"Looking at it today, this dragon that has been sleeping for over two hundred years … It's about to be summoned! "

Ignition! Zuo Zongtang threw the torch onto the firewood mountain, the blazing fire mixed with the thick smoke soared up into the sky, the Jiayuguan was filled with waves of roars!

"Fire!" Takeover West... "Takeover to the West …"

The Jiayuguan's beacon fire had been ignited, which meant that the beacon platform officially entered the Great Wall System. At the southern gate of the Golden Tower City, the guards could see the Jiayuguan's beacon fire at a glance.

"Why did the Jiayuguan light a beacon? "What's going on?"

"Cut the crap, isn't the marshal in Jiayuguan? There's a smoke beacon over there, so let's light it up together! I guarantee that there will be no mistakes! "

"Right, light the beacon …" "Carry the firewood!"

The flames of the golden pagoda lit up, following which, along the southwest side of the Great Wall, the Great Flowery Mountain, Mount Holly, Yang Tai Kou, Mingsha Kou, Devil King Mountain, Da Pai Kou … The beacons on the Great Wall were also set ablaze.

There were no longer any troops stationed at the beacons, only the descendants of the guards who were stationed at the sides. There were even some ruins that were only temporarily guarded because Zuo Zongtang had ordered for them to be repaired.

But everyone knows that Zuo Zongtang is in Jiayuguan, the smoke coming out from the west side definitely has something to do with the Great Marshal. Since the comrades in the west side are lighting up the beacon, then I will light it up with them.

After the beacon fire had reached Zhang Ye, no one knew what it represented, but no one would question it as they followed the beacon fire all the way to the east!
