Dajin Country, Wuji Valley, outside the Xianmen Pass.

Emperor Daoguang's fat figure was riding on a horse, wearing a large reading armor with a yellow background and nine dragon patterns embroidered with black threads, and a gun helmet on his head, which looked majestic, but it was a little outdated.

Thousands of two yellow flag armorers who were as outdated as him were also wearing ancestral cotton armor and antique guns and helmets, lined up in the back, just waiting quietly. There was also a group of officials wearing flower feathers, and their robes stood neatly around Daoguang.

At first glance, the Jin country, which has been lying flat here in Central Asia for more than a hundred years, is not only poor, but also looks quite outdated and superstitious...... Just look at their so-called "Golden Soldiers" costumes to see how outdated they are!

This is simply an ancient army that traveled through the time tunnel from more than a hundred years ago! Although the breech-loading rifles they carried on their shoulders and the rear-loading mountain guns lined up on the sides, as well as water-cooled machine guns, were no worse than the similar equipment used by the British Army. But the thinking of this army is outdated, too far behind!

In the 30s of the 19th century, the Ming Dynasty and the European continent have been making rapid progress on the road of the second industrial revolution, and the ironclad warships have been crisscrossing the ocean. However, in Wuji Valley, there is still a "civilization of cultivating immortals", and there are people dressed as Taoist priests and Taoist aunts everywhere, and they don't believe in science when they encounter something, so they know divination. It's completely uncivilized......

British adventurers from India have entered the Valley from time to time in the past few decades, and their reports to the Governor's Office of the East India Company after their expeditions have shown that Daikin is a country that is ignorant and backward, and it is recommended that an expeditionary force be sent in to force it to accept the protection of the British Empire.

However, due to the joint guarantee of Dajin's national security by the two great powers, the Ming and Rakshasa made the British Indian authorities have a thief's heart but not a thief's courage, and the Jin State does not seem to have much oil and water, and after taking it, it only has strategic value, but no economic benefits.

Therefore, the British and Indian authorities and the British Colonial Office pulled a small abacus for a long time (the abacus is so advanced technology, of course, the British want to copy, and finally refused to do this loss-making business.

And Britain's abandonment is not a good thing for the Dajin Kingdom...... This shows that the rotten land of Dajin Country is disgusted even by British robbers!

This is equivalent to a robber coming to someone's house, looking at the four walls of the house, looking at the dilapidated house, and seeing that several people in the family are already unclothed, they are about to be extremely vicious, and finally can only sigh sympathetically, and then leave empty-handed...... Is that a good thing?

In the eyes of Emperor Daoguang, the "fortune-telling emperor" of the Dajin Kingdom, this is a trapped dragon situation, and it is a poor life for four generations!

And to solve this trapped dragon situation, according to the book, it is said that the trapped dragon ascends to heaven, but the way Zhuge Weidao gave him to break the situation is to trap the dragon and ask for food...... One ascends to heaven, the other asks for food, and it can't be combined!

Thinking of this, Emperor Daoguang sighed and asked He Shen, the first phase master of Dajin, who was beside him: "He Shen, I have been reading the photo book left by Nalan Mingzhu these days, and I found that if you want to break the trapped dragon situation, you have to use the trapped dragon to ascend to heaven...... What do you think? ”

He Shenxin said: "It's you who is sleepy and dragon, isn't it the ascension to heaven...... Braids? The meaning of the Trapped Dragon Ascension Bureau is to trap your braids! If you have braided hair, you won't be sleepy, change Xianfeng to sleepy ......"

Of course He Shen didn't dare to say this, he was going to braided his hair first!

When he and Zhongtang were trying to make up nonsense and wanted to "bully the king", Yu Hui, the Ming ambassador who was close to Daoguang and He Shen, suddenly shouted: "It's here!" Lin Zhongtang: They're coming! ”

Here it comes?

Emperor Daoguang hurriedly took out a monocular and looked ahead, there was nothing! Not to mention people and horses, there are not even hundreds of thousands of horses running on the grassland to raise sand and dust!

"Where?" Daoguang asked, "Ambassador Yu, you can't make a mistake about the day, right?" When did Lin Zhongtang arrive in Yili? ”

"The day before yesterday, it only arrived the day before yesterday." Yu Hui replied with a smile.

"What?" Daoguang was really a little crying and laughing when he heard this, "It's two thousand miles from Ili here, and you can get there in two days?" Lin Zhongtang can't come even if it's 800 miles in an emergency! ”

This is the reliance of the Dajin Kingdom!

When an ordinary army goes to the front, it will walk 50 miles a day, and 2,000 miles will take at least 40 days. And when the veterans of the enemy's division walked outside the Xianmen Pass, the Dajin soldiers were already ready to fight, waiting for work.

Therefore, the two thousand miles from Ili to Xianmen Pass are not even flat, and the railway is not even flat, and you don't even think about the railway. Therefore, it is impossible for Lin Zexu to walk these two thousand miles in two days!

Thinking of this, Emperor Daoguang said to He Shen a little complainingly: "He Shen, why don't you ask a little more clearly? ”

He Shen hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the slave had to report a month ago, saying that the Ming delegation composed of more than 1,000 people had entered the border checkpoint and came to Xianmen under the escort of the border guards...... Yesterday at noon, I had to report that I was a hundred miles away, and if I hurried up, I would have almost arrived today. ”

Daoguang looked back at Yu Hui and found that Yu Hui was holding a binoculars looking at the sky, but without waiting for Daoguang to ask, Yu Hui explained with a smile: "That's someone from the Army Advisory Group, they left a month early, and they can probably arrive tomorrow." Today's arrivals are Lin Zhongtang and the people from the navy, they came a month late, but now they have arrived! ”

"Arrived?" Daoguang was stunned, "Where is it?" ”

Yu Hui smiled and pointed to the sky: "Navy, it's not at sea, it's in the sky!" ”

"In heaven?"

Emperor Daoguang and He Shen were both stunned, then they both raised their binoculars and looked in the direction of Yu Hui's finger, and they were both taken aback.

In the sky, ten huge oval-shaped objects floated impressively, driven by the propellers rotating on both sides of the oval objects, slowly flying towards their heads!

"It's ...... Airship? Unexpectedly, Lin Zhongtang flew in an airship. "This Daoguang is still quite knowledgeable, and at a glance you can see that those floating in the air are airships.

"Dragon! Dragon! ”

He Shen suddenly shouted at this time.

Daoguang said casually: "Where is the dragon?" It's just a couple of airships. ”

He Shen shouted: "Your Majesty, the big guy on the airship has a dragon painted on the surface...... Your Majesty, this is the sign of the sleepy dragon's ascension to heaven! ”

Daoguang was excited, and quickly picked up the binoculars to take a closer look, and then at a glance, he saw a flying dragon painted on the surface of the shell of a leading airship in the sky.

"The trapped dragon ascends to heaven, this is the trapped dragon ascending to heaven!" Daoguang, who has believed in fortune telling all his life, was excited, and this time he finally believed that his poor life was going to be changed, and he actually cried with joy.

At the same time, in the cabin of this "sleepy dragon ascending to heaven" airship, Zhuge stood beside Lin Zexu with a smile, raised his hand and pointed to the Eight Banners below and said: "Lin Zhongtang, don't be deceived by the old-fashioned clothes of these Eight Banners, these Eight Banners are all strong, and no one smokes. ”

Lin Zexu was stunned: "Big smoke? It doesn't sound like a good thing......" he paused, "Daozi, if you make this trapped dragon ascend to heaven, will you really strengthen Emperor Daoguang's determination to go south?" ”

"Of course!" Zhuge said with a smile, "Zhongtang, this is not only the ascension of the trapped dragon to heaven, but also the success of Daoguang, and it is also a spur to Daoguang. Now that he has a day-long airship, his Infinite Valley is no longer safe! ”
