Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Along the way, they talked and heard the same words, yet they all thought the same thing!

Duo Luo and Guan Lu were thinking about how difficult it would be for the army to fight, how difficult it would be for the citizens under the rule of the His Majesty. At the same time, they were also thinking about how to build a foundation for themselves, and how to express themselves in front of the His Majesty.

The escorts from the Mongolian Prairie were all enchanted by the scene in front of them. The fierce genes of the Mongolian ancestors were stirring in their blood.

They had already decided that when they went to Guizhou and saw Marshal Zuo, they would go join the army as well.

Do you need to say that the king doesn't agree? Then let the left commander-in-chief go to Zassaktu Khan for a lawsuit... Of course, with Zuo Zongtang's prestige in the imperial court, he would still have to give face if he wanted to ask for a few hundred cavalrymen to write to the King of Mongolia.

Gordon and the other officers and soldiers were all thinking about how they should fight if I were to come to this desert.

Not to mention the fact that the British would not go to the desert to fight, there were also many Central Asia in North Africa that had similar geographical features as the Western Regions.

However, in Sai Mouerbeike's eyes, all of this seemed different!

"Chinese officials are very complicated, often with civil and military part-time jobs... "It's very strange that military generals also consider the issue of local officials' governance …"

"In Europe, fighting is fighting, and what happens after the war is the responsibility of elected local government officials..."

"This kind of administrative system without a clear division of labour is really lagging behind … But is it really that far behind? "

Samuel continued to ponder and retort, "Indeed, he's lagging behind, and there's no separation between the military and the government. In the end, he can't do anything about it …"

"But that's not right. Why do I feel uneasy? The Chinese have this idea of getting on the horse and managing the army and getting off the horse and managing the people... "So what is the kind of talent that this model has nurtured?"

"Ouch …" Would such a talent increase the chances of this race giving birth to outstanding strategist? One must know that a once in a hundred year strategic genius, that is not a great general talent? "

"Aiya …" "Scratching my head, it is really a scratching. This country is too weird …"

"What's in the distance? Pagoda? What's more, the tower and the ruins of the Great Wall? "Forget it, let's just draw it first …"

Sai Mouerbeike leaned on the gigantic bag and drew the beautiful scenery in front of him quickly with the pen in his hand. This was all first-hand information, so he could slowly organize it after turning his head back.

Liu Jintang intentionally swept his eyes across explorer and discovered that his notebook was filled with shorthand sketches and scribbles of English words.

He did not understand English, so he thought that he was just an ordinary explorer after looking at the scenery. In any case, Europeans loved to spend money and find fault all over the world, so there was no need to bother with such weirdos.

Liu Jintang missed a very important diary, if he knew that this diary had a very systematic and detailed plan to destroy Chinese civilization, he would have probably pulled out his blade and killed him on the spot.

After walking for more than 10 miles, the Cavalry reached the official road, where Gordon and the rest's eyes immediately lit up, such a spectacular scene was really hard to come by.

The group went around the weathered and mottled cliffs, and across from them was a slope with nine curves and eighteen discs. Along the edge of the slope was the relay road, and on the distant plains, there were clearly more villages and towns.

Following the relay road, they were able to see the black mass of a city at the end of the road, the Guizhou!

It was only here that they truly felt the grandeur of war. The roads were filled with a convoy of horses and camels.

The camel's bells rang out like a symphony!

A large portion of the military supplies sent from the Central Plains had been provided by the Chinese to protect the carts of the Jianma!

Arms and ammunition, food medicine, felt tents, army uniforms, cotton boots... There was even a large cart full of red pine trees that had flipped to the side of the road due to improper operation. Huge pieces of wood were rolling all over the place, and the old driver was crying his heart out.

The transport team was filled with a steady stream of soldiers. Carrying their weapons and equipment, they advanced towards the west in silence. In the center of the road, there was a flat road for cavalry.

"Beacon fire to the sky..." "This is what you call a fire in the sky..."

As long as it was the end of a human's line of sight, everything would be a scene of war. The entire world had been completely militarized!

"Let's go, everyone …" This is the Western Army's temporary base Guizhou, we have to thank Xu Zhanbiao! These Sichuan men are really capable of fighting! "

The Expedition followed the Nine-Winding Eighteen Dishes and headed towards the relay road. When the civilians and soldiers on the road saw Liu Jintang's banner, they all bowed and moved aside.

At five in the afternoon, the group finally saw Guazhou City's east gate. In the end, with their sharp eyes, Liu Jintang saw Marshal Zuo Zongtang, who was bitterly waiting outside the city gate. In order to welcome the Angel, Zuo Zongtang had put on his imperial uniform.

"Let's go …" "The marshal has come to welcome us personally …"

Right now, Zuo Zongtang was the strongest in the Northwest, the King of the Northwest, Xinjiang, Gansu, Shaanxi, including the northern part of Sichuan and Inner Mongolia. In such a vast area, he had the strongest military power.

In these places, all the military forces have to listen to Zuo Zongtang's orders. Even if you are an arrogant Manchu Eight Flag Battalion Head, you still have the duty to cooperate with the General in battle.

The face of the Northwest King welcoming them was just too big, even if he received the order, Zuo Zongtang did not need to leave the city, it would be the same even in the camp in the middle of the city!

Duo Luo and Guan Lu lowered their heads and discussed, "Big brother, Commander Zuo has given us enough face, don't take it lying down …"

"What the f * * k am I even carrying!?" We spent the His Majesty's salary on the Great Marshal, I feel so guilty! "

"They have to do it even if they have a guilty conscience!" "I'll have to face it sooner or later …"

The Expedition had finally reached the main entrance of the east gate, Zuo Zongtang stood on the side and shouted, "Fire the cannons, welcome the imperial edict!"

Bang Bang Bang... The red cannons that were built on top of the Guizhou's walls puffed out white smoke. All of the transport troops outside the city gates stopped, and those that were close to the city had to kneel down to greet them.

The decree was nothing new. Just like what Liu Jintang and the others had said in the morning, they gave the Three Eye Blossom Plume and the yellow horse coat to comfort the civilians and soldiers who had worked hard in the war.

Zuo Zongtang even had soldiers kowtowing to express their gratitude and then removing the altar.

However, in the end, Guan Lu and Duo Luo walked to the Marshal with an embarrassed face. "There's one more thing I need to tell the marshal. Please atone for your sins …"

"Oh? "Both of you, please tell me..." Zuo Zongtang said while beaming.

Duo Luo didn't want to say it, but Guan Lu kept poking him, and in the end, this Eight Flag guard forced himself to take out a waterproof paper bag from under his tattered sheepskin's clothes.

"Marshal!" His Majesty knows how hard it was for you to fight, and it was also difficult to raise money … "So I intentionally saved 600,000 from my pocket money …"

"This is the His Majesty's food …" This six hundred thousand is for the marshal's war effort! "
