Chapter Eighty-Three: The British Empire, Okay, Give Two Money! (Ask for collection, ask for follow-up)

Nalan Lao Xian looked at the boiling Dajin Navy daredevils below, seemed to be very satisfied, nodded with a smile, and then raised his dust, looking like he was going to cast a spell on the big guy.

And the group of navy daredevils who looked a little crazy at the bottom all stopped cheering at once, and all of them reverently looked at the dust of the old fairy - this is really both "Showa" and superstitious!

Zhuge is also a little strange, what kind of Taoism does this Nalan old immortal have? At this moment, the old immortal suddenly spoke: "Brothers, listen, in accordance with the emperor's holy decree, Poor Dao has selected two hundred and fifty young and beautiful immortals who are knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and proficient in the art of double cultivation for the first batch of daring people who have parachuted into Peshawar...... Whoever is willing to be my Dajin pioneer, please raise your right hand! ”

"Two hundred and fifty immortals! He is still young and beautiful, he is still knowledgeable, and he is proficient in double cultivation...... No wonder those Daikin Navy daredevils are as crazy as they are! Zhuge said for the Dao Heart: "But the total number of fairies of this grade will not be too much, right?" Take out two hundred and fifty at once, this Daoguang Emperor is really bloody! ”

At this time, the Daikin Navy daredevils below were already boiling, and everyone raised their right arms and shouted loudly together: "Long live, long live, long live......

What a rare opportunity!

Those who can be navy daredevils are definitely not the descendants of the nobles of the Eight Banners, looking at their faces, there should be many people of mixed Hu and Manchu blood, and this number of people is a second-class and third-class banner man on Dajin's side. In times of more or less peace, they don't have much to look forward to. Now that the land in Wuji Valley is a little tight, they may not even be able to receive the full amount of the land, and these grade orchid fairies like Nalandili don't even think about it...... Now it looks like we'll have to draw lots to decide who will be the first to land in Peshawar!

When Zhuge Weidao was holding his arms and waiting to see the lottery, a big man had already squeezed through the crowd and came to Zhuge Weidao, first hugging his fists, and then shouting loudly: "Brother Daozi, I just sent someone to invite you and Zheng Shenshan, why are you here?" ”

Zhuge looked at the Tao fixedly, and the person who came was Wu Fax, the secretary of the Dajin Admiralty, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Lord Wang, are you going to send troops?" ”

Wu Fax laughed and said, "I'm looking forward to this day...... he looked left and right, and said, "Brother Daozi, this is not the place to talk, let's talk in detail." "It's a gesture of a scolder," "Please inside." ”

"Good!" Zhuge Weidao smiled and said, "Lord Wang, please first." ”

As they spoke, the two of them walked one after the other towards the lobby of the Yamen of the Dajin Admiralty.

......

Just when Wu Fax, Zhuge Weidao, Zheng Guoxian and others were busy planning the first divine army in history, Kunduz City, far away at the northern foot of the Hindu Kush Mountain, there was also a big drama just staged.

The Afghan army guarding Kunduz obviously did not have much will to fight, and when tens of thousands of Dajin soldiers approached the city, they only symbolically fired a few shots and left the city.

However, the offensive of the Dajin soldiers at the northern foot of the Hindu Kush Mountain ended here. Further south is the Salang Pass, which is nearly 3,000 meters above sea level, and it is already early winter, and although the pass is not blocked by heavy snow, the thin air and low temperatures brought by the high altitude are fatal to any large army. At the same time, an Anglo-Indian army of two or three thousand men also drove to the Salang Pass at the speed of a rapid march and deployed with the Afghan army there.

After the news of the arrival of the British army reached Kunduz, Emperor Daoguang, who had been shouting loudly before that he was going to India to ban the film, seemed to be instigated all of a sudden. Not only did they immediately stop their advance, but they also contacted the British troops at the Salang Pass through the local religious leaders of Kunduz, and also released their intention to negotiate peace.

And the commander of the British army, George. After knowing that Emperor Guang wanted peace talks, Kirton also planned to take the opportunity of peace talks to explore the reality of the Great Golden Soldier - Wuji Valley has always been a relatively closed existence, and it is difficult for the East India Company to insert its eyeliner into it. The strength of the Dajin soldiers is also hazy, although it gives people a feeling of backwardness and contempt, but it still maintains the legend of invincibility in Central Asia.

So in order to know oneself and know one's opponent, George. Major General Cottonn sent his chief of staff, Mike Brown. Colonel Norton and Ali. Khan came with him to the Salang Pass and arrived at the camp of the Golden Soldiers on the outskirts of Kunduz, which was occupied by the Great Golden Heavenly Soldiers.

This camp of the golden soldiers is a typical cavalry battalion, very loosely packed, the trenches are shallow and narrow, the camp walls are also sloppy, and the fences are also very sparse, so you can look at it casually. However, the watchtower in the camp is very tall and sturdy, and the view from it should be good.

After entering the camp, he fought the Napoleonic Wars and fought for many years in India against the princes of the princely states who did not submit to British rule. Norton immediately sensed the temperament of a backward, conservative, and loose feudal army - both officers and men wore outdated tattered cotton armor and ridiculous-looking lightning rod helmets. The management of the troops was very loose, the ranks in and out were very chaotic, the soldiers carrying their guns looked like a rabble, and there was hardly any group of soldiers engaged in routine drills, but there were large groups of soldiers gathered together to gamble.

There are also many Taoist divination tellers in the barracks, wielding magic weapons like "small mops" and shouting what "invulnerability" - Mike. Norton knew Chinese, served as a military attache in the Ming Dynasty, and knew Taoism.

But their morale-boosting methods don't seem to be of much use. Anyway, Mike. All Norton saw was a demoralized and listless landscape. Although the officers and soldiers of the Jin State looked stout and their physical fitness was much stronger than that of the Indians in the Anglo-Indian army, they lacked spirit, their expressions were numb, and sometimes they showed very strange smiles...... He was numb for a while, covered his mouth and snickered for a while, looking like he was knocking on some medicine.

But even more so that Mike. Norton was surprised that there were still many small traders and women who didn't know what to do in the barracks, wandering around the barracks like a market......

As for the weapons and equipment of this Dajin Heavenly Soldier, it is not worth mentioning...... Mike. Norton saw that most of the soldiers were still using front-loading guns, and the number of guns was very small, there were no water-cooled machine guns, only a few rotary machine guns (Gatling), and all of them seemed to have very little ammo.

In short, this Dajin Heavenly Soldier looks like an army called Hanako. It may be possible to bully the more ignorant and backward opponents in Central Asia, but to defeat the Anglo-Indian army is simply a dream.

Mike. Norton really couldn't understand, how could Emperor Daoguang dare to bring such an army to Afghanistan to die?

But after meeting the fat, lazy, and mediocre Daoguang Emperor himself and his incompetent ministers, Mike. Norton quickly figured out the Daoguang Emperor's intentions - he wasn't here to send him to death, he was here to ask for food!

"Do you know what it means? It is our Dajin who helps you to guard the northwest border and ensure that you will not be harassed by thieves. Your British Empire rewards us with hundreds of ...... every year Hundreds of thousands of pounds. That's not too much to ask, isn't it? ”

Inside a faded gold-roofed tent in English and Mike. Norton was talking about a thin, white-bearded old man, who was none other than He Shen, the chief minister of the Dajin Kingdom - he was also the number one celebrity in the international arena of the Dajin Kingdom. When he was young, he served as an ambassador to the Rakshasa country, and he danced with Catherine the Great! It is said that Empress Catherine saw that he was handsome and wanted to invite him to spend the night in the Winter Palace.

Later, this He Shen became the minister in the Kingdom of France, just in time for the Revolution, and together with Zhuge Weijiu, the minister of the Ming Dynasty at that time, he put the Queen of France, Mary. Antoinette was rescued and became famous. Later that Mary. Antoinette also bore Louis XVI a half-blood prince in Vienna......

Mike. While listening to He Shen's words, Norton thought to himself: "It's such a young man, and now he has reached the point of old age and stupidity, and he actually wants to beg for food from the British Empire, it's really old and confused!" ”
