Jiaqing drove south with his light armor non-stop, and at this time he did not know how the Praetorian Guards in the rear were fighting with the Tang army. Although the Qing army was one of the earliest armies in the world to update their means www.biquge.info of communication, Jiaqing later discovered that the Tang people had a way to steal their communications, so they no longer trusted radio waves and other means of communication.

Many conservative forces, including Jiaqing, insisted that since it was not safe and could not be trusted, they should not use it at all, without considering how much burden and trouble it would bring to the military if it was not used.

He had almost completely lost direct contact with the Praetorian Guard at this point, and although he could theoretically send stagecoaches to give orders, in the current state of warfare, perhaps by the time the order arrived, his army would be gone. It's not that no one can see this, it's just that no one wants to say it openly. Everyone is happy to be an ostrich and bury their heads in the sand and turn a blind eye.

"Your Majesty, there is Shiling Pass in front, and after passing this Shiling Pass, you can enter Taiyuan Mansion." Lu Yinpu said to Jiaqing.

Jiaqing sighed: "Shiling Pass is a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times, the mountains in the north of Jin are undulating, the armored troops of the Tang army are good at it, it is difficult to make a difference in this place, only a good division is guarded here, and the Tang army can be blocked from entering the middle of Jin from the north of Jin." ”

There is also a reason for his sigh, Jiaqing did not use the Praetorian Guards to guard the Shiling Pass, because that would be too obvious, a pass is guarded by the Praetorian Guards, so it is very likely that Jiaqing took this road. Shiling Pass naturally also has a garrison, unlike the Tang Army, although the Qing Army has carried out certain reforms, but in essence it is still an old-style army, especially in important places such as passes, there are heavy troops and fortifications. The garrison at Shiling Pass is a part of the Qing army in North China, and the scale is not large, after all, it is impossible to deploy too many troops here.

Under the pressure of the Tang people, the Qing court has made many changes, such as a large reduction in the number of travel cards for ordinary people. When ordinary business travelers pass through places like Shiling Pass, they only need to pay a small toll, and they do not need to carry anything like road guides, and they will not be subject to detailed inspection. Of course, if Jiaqing passes by with such a large number of people at this time, he will definitely be interrogated. Jiaqing will also directly reveal his identity, and rest at Shiling Pass by the way.

Seeing a large number of army-like troops without uniforms and flags, the Shiling Pass guard will naturally close the gate and will not let them pass. There are people below who go up, but the people below don't know how to collect the funeral, and shouted loudly: "Guard the switch, the holy car will pass by here, let it go quickly!" ”

Someone shouted at the city gate: "You have no honor guard for the Son of Heaven, and you have no court official clothes, what basis is there to say that Luan is driving in it?" ”

The people below continued to shout: "I have a token, you can hang me up and have a look." ”

The hanging basket was put down on the city tower, but only the tokens were allowed to come up, and no one was allowed to go up. A gray-haired veteran on the city tower looked at the token in his hand, and the expression on his face changed instantly, and there was not much awe, but more of an unspeakable hatred or surprise.

A middle-aged officer next to the veteran said to the veteran in disbelief: "My lord, is it really the emperor?" How did you come from us dressed up like this? ”

The veteran said: "I don't understand this, it's nothing more than the fist chaos scared this, the Tang people took the opportunity to move and occupied the capital, the emperor was shrewd this time, and didn't want to fall into the hands of the Tang people again, so he ran out and fled all the way to Shanxi, intending to pass from us." ”

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and he asked, "My lord, what should we do?" ”

The veteran smiled slightly: "Since the defeat at the hands of the Tang people twenty years ago, I have also been disheartened, the Ming Dynasty has become more and more impossible, this world, even more than the Central Plains and Kyushu, I am afraid that the Tang people in the universe will be the king and hegemon." But God opened his eyes and gave us this opportunity today, the blood revenge of the Tartars slaughtering the Zhu Ming royal family and my tens of millions of Han people has not yet been avenged, the Tang people are a group of vain people after all, and they have not been wiped out, today we will slaughter the emperor of the wild boar skin, in order to comfort the souls of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, in order to relieve the hatred of the ages! ”

The middle-aged officer understood, and then shouted from the city tower: "Welcome to the holy driver, please enter the customs first!" ”

Jiaqing, who was driving in the car, didn't notice any anomaly, and said to the left and right: "The guards of this Shiling Pass are still cautious, not bad." ”

However, Jiaqing's carriages and horses did not enter the customs first, but the guards' horse team entered the customs first, and the veteran and middle-aged officers glanced at each other and did not say anything. In this team, none of the carriages stood out as special, and it was obvious that Jiaqing deliberately wanted to confuse the line of sight so that his carriages and horses would not be too prominent. In this way, the people of Shiling Pass could not judge which carriage Jiaqing was on.

The veteran and middle-aged officers originally thought that they would order Jiaqing to enter the customs, and then shout that they were thieves disguised as holy drivers, and close the gate immediately, and then let people besiege and kill Jiaqing, who had already entered the customs. However, Jiaqing was also more cautious, and did not enter the customs first, but entered the customs first. This is not to distrust Shiling Pass, but to pay attention to the formality.

The middle-aged officer was slightly anxious in the city and asked, "My lord, what is going on now?" ”

The veteran pondered for a moment and said: "If the siege fails, you can only assassinate, you go down for a while, and say that our officers and soldiers of Shiling Pass hope to be able to see the face of the dragon, please rest for a while at Shiling Pass, and eat some water, and we reckless generals also hope to be able to listen to the holy teachings." ”

The middle-aged officer nodded and said, "Got it." ”

A large number of guards slowly entered the city, apparently a little tired after a long journey. The guards were all dressed in civilian clothes, not uniform, and even the weapons they carried were wrapped in foot bags, trying to look like refugees on the run. But judging from their deeds, they don't look like refugees, the escape tools are too good, and they don't look like ordinary people, as long as they are discerning, they know that there is a problem here.

After the middle-aged officer went down, he changed his extremely humble and flattering demeanor, found the person in charge of the team, and said: "Shengshang has worked hard all the way, it is better to rest for a while in Guancheng and replenish some water." Yang Biaotong and other officers have gathered to listen to the hadith. ”

Jiaqing thought for a while, and also said, "Let's come and meet the officers of this Shiling Pass." ”

What he wanted was to show the side of Corporal Lixian, so that these low-ranking officers who usually couldn't even see a Beijing official would be grateful, but Jiaqing never imagined what kind of dangerous situation he had put himself in. (To be continued.) )
