C3674

The emperor's patrol was truly earth-shattering. The troop that was sent back to the capital had dragged them five miles away. The procession spread out on the public road like snakes, stretching out as far as the eye could see.

The Yi and people in front served the Emperor, but they could not hear the commotion caused by the New Imperial Army at all. Yi Xuan, who was on patrol, had just received his subordinate's report, so he took the time to take a look on his horse.

When he finished reading it, he sucked in a breath of cold air and turned around to look for his sixth brother.

At this time, General Gui Six was introducing her Xishan camp to Tongzhi, and it was not appropriate for Yi Xuan to disturb them, he had to wait until the emperor got on the warm sedan to rest before he found the time to do so.

Yi was a little doubtful after hearing his brother's words, but he didn't waste any time. He took a fast horse and ran in the opposite direction. After running four or five miles, he heard the sound of neat footsteps in the distance and the thunderous applause of the people around him.

"New Imperial Army?" As expected, after the last batch of Qiluo umbrellas were covered, Xie Ting and the first company of people had already started to walk over.

"It's in order!" From the high horse, he could clearly see the procession advancing. Right now, the Tongzhou was already more than five kilometers away, and it was not chaotic at all from such a long distance.

The four of them formed a long line that stretched as far as possible. The steps of all the soldiers were exactly the same as those of a ruler, and even the movements of their arms were exactly the same.

Even the horizontal and vertical lines were the same as those drawn by the ink stick! Initially, he had thought that his Xishan camp was already elite enough, but today, after seeing the New Imperial Army, he could feel that the aura of these southern troops was much stronger than his.

In terms of height, weight, strength, and other factors, northern men like him were far better than these southern soldiers.

However, when the soldiers gathered together, they displayed an even stronger sense of collective discipline!

One could imagine the collective strength of these soldiers, they must be even more elite!

"This Xiao Letian really has a set of skills! The French and English instructors in my military camp are not my match. How can he train people into machines? "

As Fang Zhen rolled forward, the Xishan camp soldiers who were guarding along the way clearly felt the pressure. They subconsciously straightened their waists, each and every one of them oppressing the New Imperial Army with their imposing manner.

Especially since there were still a majority of the Manchu soldiers in the Xishan camp. These people had been provoked by the ruthlessness of their ancestral bloodline, and their eyes became unfriendly when they looked at their 'peers'.

The two troops had already started to fight in secret, Xie Ting and the rest of the imperial guards glanced at their 'comrades' as they recalled the secrets mentioned in the meetings.

Why did the His Majesty want to train with them? In the end, it was because there were people in the imperial court who did not want the emperor to take charge personally and did not want to give power to the His Majesty!

The New Imperial Army was the sharp sword used by the Emperor to behead demons and exterminate demons!

Just as expected, the moment they stepped onto the land near the capital, people came to show their might. From Tongzhou to the capital city, they walked on the official road at three steps, one with five steps, one with three steps.

The neat arrangement of the troops had already moved General Gui's face. When the heavy machine gun and artillery arrays came over, this Prime Minister Minister Wang squinted his eyes.

They were all really good people! Gatling heavy machine gun!

At that time, the Xishan camp had a few Gatling s as well, but they were the earliest six tube model, while the ones that Tongzhi bought for the imperial guards were the latest ten tube heavy machine guns!

There was too much cooperation between the Chinese and American industry, and through various connections, they managed to get the latest model!

Not only heavy machine guns, but also a series of Chinese imitation 88-caliber afterguns, the latch structure of which was a complete replica of the Prussian Krupp arsenal.

Jian Ma followed right in the middle with his cannons one after another. This intimidating atmosphere made the citizens incomparably excited. They were as lively as if they were celebrating the New Year as they continuously applauded and cheered.

"Mighty!" It's even more powerful than a foreign devil's army! "

"Long live the Emperor!"

Yi Yu took a few deep breaths to suppress the boredom in his heart, then turned the horse around and continued moving forward!

The commoners were just enjoying the show, but those old foxes in the imperial court could see that New Imperial Army and Xishan camp were at loggerheads. It seemed that the struggle for power in the later stages of the competition would be very cruel!

Yi Tie returned to the court officials with an ashen face. At this time, the Emperor had already gotten onto a warm palanquin, and the ministers of each department could temporarily sit in it or ride on it. They couldn't really just all go to the Deisenmun.

At this time, outside of Deisenmun, Ceng Guofan was staying with a group of older servants to guard the place. Their thick leather coats could not even stop the biting cold northwest wind, and many people were continuously coughing from the cold.

Ministry of Internal Affairs definitely did not dare to let these old servants have any accidents. She hurriedly ordered some people to pull up their hides to form a barrier to protect them from the wind. Then, she set up a fire ring in the middle of the circle of fire and started a burning of silver.

Everyone had surrounded the brazier and were roasting the flames, with only Ceng Guofan sitting alone by the side, quietly watching as the fast horses rolled over one by one!

"Reporting..." Viva has already disembarked from the ship, and is accepting the worship of all citizens of the Tongzhou … "

"Reporting..." Long live the imperial carriage have already set off … "

"Reporting..." The imperial carriage s have passed the oculi bridge … "

"Reporting..." "Long live Huang Zhuang …"

"Reporting..." "The imperial carriage has arrived at the altar …"

As he got closer and closer, Ceng Guofan stood up, "Masters, the His Majesty is here. Great Qingming has really brought back the emperor! "

The bright yellow Qiluo umbrella canopy gradually appeared in front of the court officials. Before Tongzhi even reached the altar, he had already changed his gaze to the open-air imperial carriage.

"We're back! Finally back … This will be my stage for the rest of my life! "

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" Ceng Guofan and the other old officials kneeled outside the Deisenmun. Under the praises of the tens of thousands of citizens, the imperial carriage of the Emperor Tongzhi slowly entered the tall and serene entrance of the city.

"Marshal, please rise. Come into the city with me!"

"Thank you very much, it is this official's honor!" Ceng Guofan walked quickly and arrived beside the little emperor. Reaching out to support the palanquin, he raised his head and saw Zai Chun's grateful expression.

"I …" "I will never forget the favor I owe to the marshal when he was not around!"

"Your Majesty, don't say anything else. It's good that you're back. Everything will be fine once you're back!"

It seemed like there was no end to the deep hole in the city gate. The wind blew in like the wailing of ghosts. In front of them was the most bustling city of the human race in the Middle Ages!

Yuan Mingqing's three generations of imperial city was once again laid in front of Tongzhi!

The entire capital, with a population of seven hundred thousand people, was mobilized today. All the citizens rushed to the streets and gathered on both sides of the Emperor's path. When they saw the emperor returning from his studies, a large group of people immediately kneeled down.

"Long live our Emperor … Long live... "Long live!"

The praises of the seven hundred thousand people caused a muffled boom to ring through Tongzhi's brain. At that moment, he felt like he was floating.
