Chatting all the way, hearing the same words in different people’s hearts, but they have different thoughts!

What Duolu and Guan Lu thought about how difficult the army was to fight, how difficult the people under the rule of Emperor Longsheng was. At the same time, they had to think about how to make achievements and how to show themselves in front of Emperor Longsheng.

The cavalry escorted from the Mongolian grasslands were all fascinated by the scene in front of them, and the fierce genes of Mongolian ancestors were ready to move in their blood.

They had decided that when they arrived in Guazhou, they would also join the army when they saw General Zuo, and they could become a cavalry with their own equestrians!

As for the prince of our family who disagrees? Then let General Zuo go to sue Zasaktu Khan... Of course, with Zuo Zongtang's prestige in the court, he would ask for hundreds of cavalry to write a letter to the King of Han in Mongolia, so he still had to give face.

The British had a different idea. Gordon and other officers and soldiers were all thinking about their own professionalism. How should I fight if I came to this desert?

Not to mention that the British would not go to the desert to fight wars, many of North Africa and Central Asia's geographical appearances are very similar to those of the Western Regions, and they are also areas that combine agriculture and animal husbandry.

But in Samuel Baker's eyes, all this looks like something else!

"Chinese officials are very complicated, often working part-time jobs in civil and military affairs... Military generals will also consider issues in the governance of local officials, which is very strange..."

"In Europe, fighting is fighting, and after the war, the elected local government officials are responsible for the matter..."

"This kind of administrative system without clear division of labor is really backward... But is it really backward?"

Samuel kept reflecting and constantly asked, "It's true that he is backward, and the military and political affairs are not separated. In the end, he just can't do anything..."

"But it's not right, why do I feel uneasy? The Chinese have the idea of ​​starting a horse and managing the army and dismounting a horse and managing the people... So what are the talents cultivated by this model?"

"Oh... Will such a generalist increase the chance of this nation's birth of excellent strategists? You must know that once in a century, isn't that big generalist?"

"Oh... scratching your head, it's really scratching your head. This country is so weird..."

"What is far away? Is the pagoda? What's further away is the beacon tower and the ruins of the Great Wall? No matter what, draw it first..."

Samuel Baker leaned against the huge adventure bag, and the pen in his hand rustled and quickly drew the beautiful scenery in front of him. These are all first-hand information. Let's sort it out slowly.

Liu Jintang deliberately or unintentionally glanced at the explorer and found that his notebook was filled with some landscape sketches and sloppy English words.

He doesn't understand English either, so when he looks at the landscape paintings, he thinks he is an ordinary explorer. Anyway, Europeans like to spend money to find trouble all over the world when they are full. Don't pay attention to such strange people.

Liu Jintang missed a very important note. If he knew that there would be a systematic detailed plan to destroy Chinese civilization in front of this note, he would probably have to draw a knife to kill him on the spot.

After walking for more than ten miles, the cavalry team moved around to the official road. When they arrived here, Gordon and his friends immediately lit up. Such a spectacular scene was really rare.

The team bypassed the weathered and mottled cliffs, opposite a slope of nine curves and eighteen plates, and along the edge of the mountain was the post road. The number of villages and towns and villages on the further plains was significantly increased.

Go away from your sight along the post road, and at the end is a dark city, Guazhou!

Only when I got here did I truly feel the grandeur of the war. The endless roads were full of transport teams composed of horses and camels.

The camel bells jingled as spectacular as a symphony!

Jianmala's trucks are protected by tarpaulin by military supplies sent from the Central Plains, and most of them are provided by the Chinese!

Weapons and ammunition, food and medicine, felt tents, military uniforms and cotton boots... There was even a large cart of whole red pine wood. It was turned on the side of the road due to improper operation. The whole cart of giant trees rolled everywhere, and the old handkerchief was crying loudly.

Mixed in the transportation team were a steady stream of soldiers. They carried their arms and equipment and simple packages and moved silently to the west. The most flat part in the middle of the road was the horse path of the cavalry, and the fast horse rushed over and rolled up a piece of yellow sand.

"Beijinghuo is connected to the sky... This is the beijinghuo is connected to the sky..."

As long as it is the end of human sight, it is all a scene of war, and this world has been completely militarized!

"Let's go... This is Guazhou, the temporary base camp of the Western Army. We have to thank Xu Zhanbiao! These Sichuan men are really good at fighting!"

The expedition team followed the nine-curve and eighteen-pan plate to meet on the post road. After the soldiers and civilians on the road saw Liu Jintang's banner, they saluted and avoided them. The civilians and civilians knelt all over the ground in the dust.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the group finally saw the east gate of Guazhou City. As a result, the sharp-eyed Liu Jintang saw the great general Zuo Zongtang who was waiting outside the city gate at a glance. In order to welcome the angel, Zuo Zongtang put on the court uniform and temporarily set up a cowhide tent, and even the incense table was placed.

"Go away... The coach is here to welcome us in person..."

This is a great honor. At this moment, Zuo Zongtang is the number one person in the northwest, the true king of the northwest, Xinjiang, Gansu, Shaanxi, northern Sichuan and Inner Mongolia. With such a vast area, he is the strongest military power.

In these places, all military forces must obey Zuo Zongtang's orders. Even if you are the head of the Eight Banners of Manchus, you have the obligation to cooperate with the commander in the battle.

The Northwest King came to greet him in person. This was too great. Even if he received the order, Zuo Zongtang did not need to leave the city. It would be the same for him to receive the order in the central army camp in the city!

Duolu and Guan Lu lowered their heads and discussed, "Brother, Zuo Dashang has given him enough face, so let's not hold on..."

"I'm just making a fuck! We've spent all the military pay that the emperor gave to the commander. I'm guilty!"

"You have to be guilty! You have to face it sooner or later..."

The expedition team finally arrived at the entrance of the East Gate tent. Zuo Zongtang stood solemnly on the road and shouted, "Flame the cannon, welcome the imperial edict!"

Bang bang bang bang... The red-clothed cannons cast in the Qianlong period on the head of Guazhou were spitting white smoke. All the transportation teams and military soldiers outside the city gate stopped, and those who were close to each other had to kneel to greet them.

The decree is nothing new. Just like what Liu Jintang said in the morning, he was given a three-eyed peach feather and a yellow jacket to comfort the soldiers and civilians who worked hard in the war.

Zuo Zongtang and the officers and soldiers kowtowed and thanked each other, and then removed the altar.

But in the end, Guan Lu and Doro walked to the Magistrate with embarrassment, "Magistrate... There is another thing, I have to tell the Magistrate, please atone for the Magistrate..."

"Oh? The two imperial envoys, but it's okay..." Zuo Zongtang said with a smile.

Doro didn't want to say it, but Guan Lu kept stabbing him. In the end, the Eight Banners guard took out a waterproof oil-paper bag from the torn sheepskin coat.

"Master! Long lively knows that you have worked hard to fight and raise funds... So I saved 600,000 from my pocket money..."

"This is the food ration money of Master Long live... This 600,000 is for the general to fight a war!"
