3383 Central Asia Expedition

"Don't you know? Don't look at the poor here, but you have defeated the British here!"

Next to the fire, Doro also whispered to Lu and a dozen brothers.

In this era, Afghanistan did not have the nickname of the Imperial Cemetery, but the first British invasion of Afghanistan was over.

In 1839, the British and Indian coalition forces invaded Afghanistan. Although they quickly defeated the king's army, they were trapped in the vast ocean of people's war.

All the people in Afghanistan rose up to resist and drove the British out of Afghanistan for three and a half years!

More than thirty years have passed, but the Afghans' hatred of Britain has not been resolved. Seeing Sir Gordon's large-scale expedition led by hundreds of people, they automatically thought it was the British army.

This is simply a war without a reason, no war was declared or warning, and even both sides did not understand the language. Basically, each tribe in this place has its own language, and even the same language produces very complex accents due to geographical reasons.

The enemies on the battlefield don’t listen to your explanation at all. The tribal warriors riding fast horses and bows, arrows and scimitars attack the expedition team with no chance of death, and then rushing up one after another, just like a life without any money.

In the end, Gordon had no choice but to bow his head and let the guide use gold coins to open the way. The elders of the tribe saw the money to buy the way, so they let them go.

After the danger, these confidants of Emperor Tongzhi gathered together for a meeting. Yes, they also learned some of the Chinese people's furs and knew that they would have to gather together for a small meeting every day, and talk about what they encountered in the day, and everyone analyzed it.

These Qing guards have thoroughly experienced the toughness of the Afghan tribes!

"Damn it, if the people of our Qing Dynasty were so brave, the whole village would not have been bullied like this by Britain and France..."

"Yes, I understand today. The people in this place are so crowded together. The whole village is coming out to fight you. The man in front charges, and the woman wrapped in a scarf behind her is also screaming with a hoe!"

"Even children carry bows, arrows and ammunition to the soldiers... Look at their weapons, let alone the weapons of our Qing Dynasty are bad. These people just use axes and kitchen knives to fight the British!"

"A tribal warrior with more than one hundred people has only one musket, and he dares to fight his life..."

"Look at it, the corpses were all covered with no one crying. One group of people died and one group after another. People's lives are so cheap!"

A group of guards vented their emotions indignantly, holding the sheath of the waist and the pestle desperately, eating the dry barbecue in their mouths was like an enemy.

"Let's see when the British and French forces fought to the Sijiu City, those stinky people were watching the fun! The foreign devils gave them some money and they all became civilians carrying big bags!"

"It's embarrassing, how do you compare with others?"

"Enough! Let's say less. This is the British expedition, not the pot-frying restaurant in Sijiu City, a small teahouse!" Doro growled and calmed the guards present.

Guan Lu, who was drinking water from a leather pocket, sighed, "Has Europa gone in vain? Why hasn't he gained any knowledge at all? Are our Qing Dynasty the same thing as here?"

"Look here, they are all tribes of the same language and the same bloodline, and even their faith is the same. They are just one belief. Do you think they can not unite?"

"Eat together, live together... enjoy happiness together, and be together when you are in trouble!"

"Why are you afraid of death? Because they have no worries after death, they know who to die, and they know that their wife and children will be taken care of after death!"

"This is the nation! I have heard so many nationalism principles in Europa, but I still don't understand?"

"What happened to our Qing Dynasty? Are Manchus and Han people the same nation? At least not now... Manchus do not pay food, but Han people pay food every day!"

"What's the matter with those Han people when Britain and France fight against the Forbidden City? To be honest, even if the Queen of England sat in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, as long as they were exempted from taxes from the Han people, they would still shout long live!"

"You are so rebellious, arrogant and rebellious!" Someone among the guards didn't like to listen.

Duo Luo, who was next to Guan Lu, sighed, "Okay, how can you scream! Now you are capable. Why didn't you pick your head and scold me when Xiao Letian beat the emperor?"

"What kind of shit is this? There are so many arrogant and rebellious traitors! Why did Your Majesty ask us to walk on the ancient Central Asia Road? Why did we come here?"

"Think about it carefully. Your Majesty also wants us to see with our own eyes how this war is fought in the west and what is going on in this national war!"

"Don't say that Han people are just mothers with milk, let alone the things they have to do for foreign devils! Now Zuo Zongtang, isn't Master Zuo in Jinzhou?"

"They are Han people, and they are all Han people with the Hunan Army. Isn't they fighting national wars? Is this what you call a traitor?"

"I understand what Master Long is thinking now... Master Long is trying to let us feel it. If it is possible to sprinkle some blood on this land..."

"Or what kind of face do we have in the future? Let's say that this land is full of us?"

The small team suddenly fell into silence, and the whining guards stopped talking. Not far away, Gordon and the adventure notes Baker looked at the Qing guards next to the fire, and his face was filled with deep thought.

"Sure enough, there have been some changes. These Manchus learned to think, and even knew that they held a meeting every day to summarize... When I helped the Qing Dynasty disrupt the bandits, the Manchu soldiers were not like this..."

Baker shook his head, "I haven't learned from the Chinese. I really don't like this nation. If you want to be smart... you have to be Chinese!"

Gordon smiled bitterly and said, "Just tell me this. Don't tell those politicians in London... No matter how powerful the Chinese people are, they cannot become the masters of East Asia!"

"It is precisely because of the cowardly Qing Dynasty that we will help them like this... In the future, the Qing Dynasty controls the mainland, the Chinese control the ocean, and make them a pair of enemies fighting each other..."

"This is better, this is in the interests of the UK!"

"Okay, lunch is over, we keep moving... We can go to Kapchaga tonight!"

The expedition continued to head north, with snowflakes everywhere in the northwest wind. These people quickly turned into snowmen, but they didn't know that just around the team, several cavalry reconnaissance teams were following them tightly.

Here are Aguber's cavalry sentry, as well as the cavalry of the Khanate of Kokhan, and even on the distant hillside, a team of Tsarist Russian Cossack officers were peeping at them with a telescope.

Doro and Guan Lu didn't know that if it weren't for the British flag protecting them, these Qing guards with braids would have been skinned and made into human skin drums long ago!
