C574 The New Army

"Hahaha, brothers, let's take a look …" Ci An was really a smart guy. He knew who had the strongest soldiers in the Beijing Belt, and who had the most reliable ones … "Then, we shall begin to make an official wish."

"Knowing that I'm the Prime Minister of the Ryukyu and yet I'm not in need, she first gave me the title of first class commander-in-chief. After the chaos was resolved, he even guaranteed that I would at least be conferred the title of marquis … "Hahaha, look, I killed their soldiers, and in the end I still have to be awarded the title of nobility. Isn't this the greatest joke in the world …"

The Captain's Room was overjoyed, Ci An's imperial decree had changed the actions of the new army from rebellion to chaos, and when everyone saw the hope of entering Beijing, everyone's eyes lit up.

"My Lord, such a good chance, the Prime Minister, we must attack, as long as we can step foot on the Beijing, our new army can be considered to have officially entered the army, only then will we be considered as number one amongst the strongest …"

"It's done, it's done …" "To decide the capital of a nation, the heavens have given us this credit. You have to make up your mind, Sir Annihilator!"

When Xiao Letian saw the excited look on his subordinate's face, he was extremely excited. When he thought back to the past, when compared to the present, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun, Wang Huaiyuan and the others were all veterans of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. They hid in the Taihang Mountains after the defeat of the Northern Chasm and became bandits. Time passed by slowly.

At that time, let alone attacking the Beijing, all they thought about was how to survive under the pressure of the Qing Dynasty.

Looking at Luo Huo, Lu Ying, Lu Ying and the others who did not participate in the meeting, of course, Pang Chaoyun, Ye Qiu and others, these were all elites of the common folk. Some of them were descendants of merchants, while others were guards of merchant clans.

At that time, their backs were bent, and they did not even dare to resist when faced with corrupt officials. But now, they were actually staring at the capital of the Qing Dynasty with killing intent.

, Bing Tai Lang and the other Japanese s, as well as the natives of Ryukyu, had been watching the Central Plains that was still on the other side for thousands of years, and all of them worshipped themselves as Subordinate States. But this time, they actually had the chance to enter the Qing Dynasty as soldiers.

From their excited eyes, he could already read their minds.

As for the few foreign advisors, including the gold medal intelligence officer's Pierre, the war correspondent, Lei Ao, and the chief engineer Mike, all of them attended today's meeting. They were all part of the adventurer, and it was their common wish to see the Beijing.

"Hur hur, what's the matter? They all wanted to visit the Beijing? Then I have to ask you guys, what are our chances of winning, and how much resistance do we have? "

"The more the victory, the less the victory …" Xiao Letian said while grinning.

Wang Huaiyuan was the first person to stand up. He was the person in charge of the Punishment Hall, the leader of the intelligence network on Xiao Letian.

"Sir, don't worry. This time, our chances of winning will definitely exceed 90% …" We have observed the armies of the Beijing for two years. It is not excessive to say that they are an army on paper … "

"The garrison troops only train six times a month, and it's all flashy battle formation training. Looking from afar, the formation of the Plum Blossom Formation and the Eight Trigrams Formation seems pretty impressive, but in reality, they're all just a display of strength …"

"More than half of the soldiers and soldiers smoke. Many of them even struggle to stand guard and need to pay a porter to stand guard …" "War requires the encouragement of money. Without money, even if the Forbidden City is on fire, it has nothing to do with them. In short, this is an army that is loose and selfish to the extreme …"

"If it was in the past, then it would be better for the imperial government to know what the garrison troops were like. That's why they constantly rotated their troops, selecting the best soldiers from the locals, or from the Manchu tribes that hadn't been corrupted by the playworld. In addition, the Mongolian soldiers were a supplement …"

"At that time, the troops in charge of defending the Beijing Belt were still somewhat elite, but unfortunately, in the bloody battle six years ago, Seng Gelinqin had lost almost 90% of the army's essence, and Beijing Belt's eight flags' vitality was greatly damaged …"

Right now, the foolish Maylor has searched again, and the bravest warriors have been killed by us outside of Tanggu City. Don't look at the troops around the capital now, but there are no bones left, only a pile of stinky flesh.

Luo Huo's words ignited the passion in the hearts of everyone present. It was as if there was a fire that could not be extinguished, he threw his hat on the table and untied the collar, "Fuck, we have worked with the French and Austrian in Europe, are we still afraid of these trash who smoke big cigarettes now? "No need, give me a thousand soldiers. I'll help the Prime Minister take down the Forbidden City!"

"Why a thousand? "As long as there are four Gatling, eight hundred of us will be able to sweep through the capital's area …"

"Gatling are useless as well. The Discipline Hall is spread throughout the Beijing, and when the time comes, we will be able to open all the city gates. We have six hundred elites who are like sharp blades that pierced towards the Jingshan … It was not a permanent city anyway. As long as they could take over the Jingshan and save them, it would be enough! "Give me six hundred elite warriors …"

Good god, this group of militants looked like they were about to fight. Not a single one of them backed off. After a series of victories, they were all in a frenzy.

Just then, Xiao Letian suddenly snorted coldly. Don't be too hot in your head, you must know that Li Hongzhang's three thousand Huai Army s are waiting for us somewhere, they are not trash soldiers who smoke big cigarettes in Qing Dynasty, they are all Veterans of the Hundred Wars s who just came down from the Winding Battlefield.

"Why does the Prime Minister have to arouse the morale of others and extinguish his own might? No matter how powerful the Huai Army is, can it surpass the French army or the Austrian Army? Furthermore, they came here under Ci Xi's secret order, they cannot bring artillery, as long as the enemy does not have the support of cannons, do you think we need to be afraid of them? "

"Fight... Fight... "Fight …" A group of crazy military officers started knocking on the table.

At this time, Xiao Hexin also spoke up, "To deal with the Huai Army, I feel that we still need to rely on the brothers of the Discipline Hall. If Li Hongzhang really wants to deal with us, then he will only hit us from two sides.

Xiao Hexin pointed at the Langfang on the map. "Or perhaps, it's a good choice to set up an ambush here …"

Hearing that, Wang Huaiyuan immediately got up, "Prime Minister, I will take my leave first. I will arrange for the spies and messenger pigeons to stand, to stand in front of the army …" With that, he turned around and left.

Xiao Letian didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this time. You want to kidnap me? "I haven't even given the order yet and you're already making your move …"

"Prime Minister!" Everyone stood up. "Don't you want to fight in the prime minister's heart?" Even if we can't change the world this time, we have to establish our might! If the entire Qing Dynasty knows about our capabilities, then who will be the one to cause trouble for us in the future? "

"For people like the Qing Dynasty who act tough but are weak inside, I have to teach them a lesson …"

Even Pierre could not sit still in the mood. He stood beside the gong and said, "Prime Minister, the morale is already so high. We can't let people down!"

Xiao Letian glared at him: I didn't say I won't fight? I'm just talking about winning more... And the Xiang Army? Have you considered Ceng Guofan's thoughts? If he attacks, how are you going to block … For five hundred thousand Xiang Army, just one piece of it would be enough for us to drink … "

The moment the Xiang Army was mentioned, the fanatical atmosphere instantly turned cold. Xiao Letian laughed coldly and said, "All of you are making a ruckus? All of them were making a ruckus! Ceng Guofan is currently in Henan Province, and the army is stabilizing the Twisted Army. If he wants to make a move, he can send out two hundred thousand soldiers to attack us at any time … "

"Look at all your fanatical energy. Do you think war is child's play? "You all better remember this, I am the only one in charge of the new army, none of you are allowed to …"

Xiao Letian suddenly became angry. All of the brothers present were not afraid, as they were all taught by him.

Seeing each and every dejected face, Xiao Letian knew that he had splashed the right cold water on them. Only then did he give the order officially.

"Send the order down, the Ryukyu will quickly deploy a thousand of our Green Battalion soldiers to protect the Tanggu, and build a defensive line at the boundary I described. I, Xiao Letian, will occupy this land …"

"Tie Toutuo is in charge of supplies for the new army. Other than recruiting many people, he allows you to command a thousand Green Battalion who are in charge of the rebellion … Torture Chamber Wang Huaiyuan is in charge of all intelligence work, Chun Sanshiniang will immediately bring people back to the capital and prepare to reinforce them in advance … "

"As for the remaining people, immediately get ready to move out. I, Xiao Letian, will bring you all to Beijing!"

The order was passed down one by one until finally, the entire Captain's Room was filled with cheers and shouts, "Long live the Captain's Room! "To Beijing!"

In the darkness of the night, carrier pigeons soared into the air one after another, flying eighty to eighty percent of the way through the strong gale.

The soldiers that were supported by the Tanggu were currently sleeping soundly. However, under the order of the emergency bed rise up, everyone climbed out of their beds, dismantled their tents, packed their supplies, and inspected their weapons. All the military officers at all levels were extremely busy.

After forming up a group, they immediately set off to the southwest. The torches in the darkness shone brightly like a long dragon. Countless village dogs in the wilderness were alerted and began to bark at the long dragon.

Pushing open the window, the timid commoners of Qing Province were so scared that they peed their pants. The fire dragons of thousands of people moved forward in the darkness. They could not stand such a spectacular sight, and all of them retreated back into the house.

On the deck, Xiao Letian looked at the fire dragons on the land, and asked in a puzzled manner.

"You still haven't explained how you plan to deal with Ceng Guofan even now. Are you really not afraid of his Xiang Army?"

"I am afraid, of course I am, but I will not fight a battle without preparation, Ceng Guofan is not a rogue cultivator, if there is only one person in the Great Qing that can understand me, then I believe it will be him!"

Xiao Letian did not mention that he had a secret letter from Ceng Guofan that the carrier pigeon brought from the distant south. The only thing that was written on the letter was, "Do not rebel.

Ceng Guofan did not say another word. He also did not have the intention to call out troops, because he knew that Xiao Letian was of the same kind of person as him.
