Chapter 83 The British Empire, please do a good job and give us some money! (Please collect and read)

Nalan Laoxian looked at the boiling Dajin Navy Death Soldiers below and seemed very satisfied. He smiled and nodded, then raised his whisk, as if he was going to cast a spell on everyone.

The group of marine death soldiers below who looked a little crazy all stopped cheering, and all of them looked at the old immortal's fly whisk devoutly - this is really both "Showa" and superstitious!

Zhuge Dao was also a little strange. What kind of Taoism did this old Immortal Nalan have? At this moment, the old Immortal suddenly spoke: "Brothers, listen, I, under the emperor's imperial edict, have already prepared for the first batch of people who dared to fly to Peshawar.

The man of death has selected two hundred and fifty young and beautiful immortal girls who are well-educated and proficient in the art of double cultivation. Whoever is willing to be my big gold pioneer, please raise your right hand!"

"Two hundred and fifty fairies! They are still young and beautiful, well-educated, and proficient in dual cultivation. No wonder those Dajin navy death soldiers are as if they are crazy!" Zhuge Weidaoxin said: "But fairies of this level

, the total number won’t be too much, right? Two hundred and fifty were taken out at once, this Daoguang Emperor really spent a lot of money!”

At this time, the Dajin navy death soldiers below were already excited. Everyone raised their right arms and shouted loudly: "Long live, long live, long live"

This opportunity is indeed rare!

Those who will become naval suicide soldiers are definitely not the direct descendants of the Eight Banners nobles. Judging from their faces, many of them should be of mixed Hu and Manchu descent. These people are all second- and third-class bannermen in Dajin.

Generally speaking, in peaceful times, they don't have a very good future. Now the land in Wuji Valley is a bit tight, and they may not even be able to receive the full share of the land. Fairy Orchid of Nalandili's level, even more

Don't even think about it. Now it looks like we have to draw lots to decide who will be the first to land in Peshawar!

When Zhuge Weidao was folding his arms and waiting to see the draw, a big man had already squeezed through the crowd and came to Zhuge Weidao. He first clasped his fists and then shouted loudly: "Brother Daozi, I just sent someone to invite you and Zheng Shenshan."

, why are you here?”

Zhuge Weidao took a closer look and saw that the person who came was Wu Zhenzhen, the Minister of the Admiralty of Dajin. He quickly clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to send troops?"

Wu Zhenzhen laughed and said, "I've been looking forward to this day." He looked around and said, "Brother Daozi, this is not the place to talk. Let's talk in detail in the hall." He said with a solemn gesture, "Inside

please."

"Okay!" Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please come first."

As they talked, the two people walked toward the lobby of the Yamen of the Admiralty Department of Daikin one after another.

While Wu Zhenzhen, Zhuge Weidao, Zheng Guoxian and others were busy planning the first divine descent in history, a big drama was just taking place in Kunduz City at the northern foot of the Hindu Kush Mountains.

The Afghan army guarding Kunduz obviously didn't have much fighting spirit. When tens of thousands of Dajin soldiers came to the city, they only fired a few symbolic shots and then abandoned the city and left.

However, the offensive of the Dajin soldiers at the northern foot of the Hindu Kush Mountains ended here. Further south is the Salang Pass with an altitude of nearly 3,000 meters. It is already early winter, although the pass has not been attacked.

Heavy snow blocked it, but the thin air and low temperature brought by the high altitude were fatal to any large army. At the same time, a British and Indian army of two to three thousand people also drove to the Salang Pass at a rapid march.

, setting up defenses together with the Afghan army there.

After the news of the arrival of the British troops reached Kunduz, Emperor Daoguang, who had previously clamored to go to India to ban Ya films, seemed to have given up. Not only did he stop his advance immediately, but he also contacted the local religious leaders in Kunduz.

The British troops at Salang Pass also expressed their intention to negotiate peace.

After learning that Emperor Guang wanted peace talks, the commander of the British army, George Cotton, also planned to use the opportunity of peace talks to explore the reality of the Dajin soldiers - Wuji Valley has always been a relatively closed existence, and the East India Company's spy

It is difficult to place them in. The strength of the Dajin soldiers is also hazy. Although it gives people a backward and conservative feeling, it still maintains the legend of the invincibility of the heavenly soldiers in Central Asia.

Therefore, in order to know himself and the enemy, Major General George Cotton sent his chief of staff, Colonel Mike Norton, and Ali Khan to come to the Salang Pass and arrived at the Jinbing camp on the outskirts of Kunduz, which was occupied by the Dajin Heavenly Soldiers.

This Jinbing camp is a typical cavalry camp. It is very loosely built, with shallow and narrow trenches, scrawled walls, and sparse fences. It looks casual. However, the watchtower in the camp is

It's very tall and sturdy, and you should have a good view from up there.

After entering the camp, having fought in the Napoleonic Wars and fighting against the princes of the feudal states who were dissatisfied with British rule in India for many years, Mike Norton immediately felt the temperament that a backward, conservative, and disorganized feudal army should have - no matter what.

The officers and soldiers were all wearing outdated and tattered cotton armor and ridiculous-looking lightning rod helmets. The management of the troops was very loose, and the teams coming in and out were chaotic. The soldiers carrying guns looked like a mob, and they were almost invisible.

There was no group of soldiers going through routine drills, but there were large groups of soldiers gathering together to gamble.

There were many fortune-telling Taoist priests in the military camp, waving magic weapons like "little mops" and shouting about "invulnerability" - Mike Norton knew Chinese, he had served as a military attache in the Ming Dynasty, and he also knew Taoism.

But their method of boosting morale seemed to be of no use. Anyway, all Mike Norton saw was low morale and listlessness. Although the officers and soldiers of the Jin Kingdom looked stout, and their physical fitness was better than that of the Indians in the British and Indian armies.

People are much stronger, but they lack energy, their expressions are numb, and sometimes they will show a very weird smile, sometimes numb, sometimes covering their mouths and laughing, as if they have taken some kind of medicine.

But what surprised Mike Norton even more was that there were actually many vendors and women who didn't know what they were doing in the military camp, wandering around here, making the military camp look 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 muzzle-loading guns, and the number of artillery pieces was also very small. There were no water-cooled machine guns, and only some wheel-type machine guns.

Machine gun (Gatling), and the ammunition seems to be very small.

In short, this Dajin Heavenly Soldier looks like a beggar army at first glance. It may be able to bully the more ignorant and backward opponents in Central Asia, but it is simply a dream to defeat the British and Indian Army.

Mike Norton really couldn't understand why Emperor Daoguang dared to bring such an army to Afghanistan to die.

However, after meeting the fat, lazy, and mediocre Emperor Daoguang himself and his ministers with low abilities, Mike Norton quickly understood the purpose of Emperor Daoguang's visit - he did not come to die, he came to beg for food.

of!

"Suici, do you know what Suici means? We, Dajin, are helping you, Great Britain, to guard the northwest border and make sure not to let bandits harass you. Your British Empire rewards us with hundreds or hundreds of thousands of pounds every year. This request is not too much.

Bar?"

The person speaking to Mike Norton in English in a large, faded gold-domed tent was a thin old man with a white beard. He was none other than Heshen, the chief minister of secrets of the Kingdom of Jin - he could also be regarded as the leader of the Kingdom of Jin on the international stage.

He is the number one celebrity. When he was young, he served as the ambassador to the Rakshasa Kingdom and even danced with Emperor Catherine the Great! It is said that Queen Catherine thought he was handsome and wanted to invite him to the Winter Palace.

overnight.

Later, He Shen became the minister to the Kingdom of France, just in time for the Great Revolution, and together with Zhuge Weijiu, the then minister of the Ming Dynasty, he rescued Queen Marie Antoinette of France, thus becoming famous.

Later, Marie Antoinette gave birth to a half-blood prince for Louis XVI in Vienna.

As Mike Norton listened to Heshen's conversation, he thought to himself: "For such a man who was so influential when he was young, he is now so old and comatose that he actually wants to beg for food from the British Empire. What an old fool!"
