Hetao region, Ikezhao League, Ordos left-wing central banner.∈◆

A huge migration team of amazing scale is slowly advancing on the endless grassland.

Their total number of people exceeded 100,000, and they stretched out a long formation of more than ten kilometers long, and were displayed along the curved road.

The leader was an army of about 5,000 people. Their unified black military uniforms were all equipped with Chinese imitation Mauser rifles, and hundreds of cavalrymen stood in front a few kilometers away. The large army was divided into four columns and occupied the entire road, walking behind weakly.

The cavalry were walking slowly, with dust hanging on each knight's face, and his messy hair emerged from the edge of the military cap, so oily and dirty that it had not been washed for a long time. The braids hanging from the back of their heads were barely kneaded, hanging on their bodies like dead snakes. The horses that had not washed much were dirty and could not see the original color. They were not suitable for the climate of the grassland, or were really exhausted. Every step forward, the horse's head must be pushed down a little harder, and the neck drove the horse's back up like a wave, arching the knights above, shaking and tilting around.

The infantry dragged heavy steps, wore hats and drooped their shoulders, and each of them looked unenergetic. For them, the rifles weighing less than ten kilograms were like a burden of a thousand kilograms. One hand that resisted the shoulder could not hold it, and they walked down after two steps.

Some were hung behind them, and they were too lazy to hold on to the gun, and let the wooden guns hit the bends one after another, knocking their originally unrighteous figure to twist and twist.

What's more, they simply grabbed the barrel and stuck the butt on the ground as a crutch. But the crutch was too heavy. Even if they were holding it with both hands, they could not lift their arms. They had to lean half of their bodies forward.

The troops of thousands of people were marching in a mess with exhausted steps. The road surface where the wheels and horses were trampled over and over, was dusty. From a distance, it seemed like a dragon rolling against the surface, but the speed was so slow that it was outrageous.

If you always stay in this environment, you can imagine how embarrassed they look. The May sun was fiercely sunning their scalp on their heads. There seemed to be no end in front of them, which made them who were already indifferent to their hearts even more discouraged.

Finally, someone couldn't hold on anymore, and his body tilted and flashed from the queue to the side of the road, threw away the rifle randomly, and sat on the ground and screamed: "No! No! I really can't walk!"

It doesn't matter if he fell down, but it immediately triggered a chain reaction. Dozens of people in front and back sat down and lay down on both sides. If they weren't worried that they might be trampled to death by the people behind, some even wanted to sit directly in the middle of the road, and they didn't want to move forward if they were beaten to death.

The officer riding a horse to maintain order on his side rushed over and scolded in a hoarse voice: "Who told you to stop? Hurry up, get up and keep moving forward!"

The sitting down soldier waved his hand weakly: "It's really boring! Such a way to travel is so hard that I want my life! I have to take a break for a while!"

Dozens of people didn't listen to the shouts. The officer was furious and waved the whip hanging on his wrist in the air. A crisp "bang" sound exploded on the top of the soldier's head. At the same time, he shouted: "Bastard! Are you thinking you are going out to travel around? Just rest if you want to rest? We are marching! We stopped randomly without military orders and blocked the imperial carriage behind. Can you bear the sin? Hurry up and get out!"

"What a bullshit march, it's just a rush to escape! Is it necessary to say that it's so literary?" Bingpi tilted his head and looked at him, "Run from the capital to Shanxi, from Taiyuan to Xi'an, and now he comes from Yulin outside this pass. Where are you going below? Ulya Sutai? Or Tangnu Wulianghai? Do you need to use two legs to turn the earth around!"

"That's it! I've never suffered this crime when I grow up so old! If I go on, my legs are not my own! If I don't leave, at least I can let the wolf eat it. At least I can turn into three-foam shit to fatten the grassland. Run north, maybe I can get into the desert and dry it into a human...."

He was bored walking, and he was talking back and forth. He started to yell, which immediately made the officer's mouth dry, but he was helpless.

The truth is that he took out the revolver he was wearing and shot them one by one. But he just wiped the handle of the gun and let go. He couldn't do it, nor could he do it!

This entire team is the core team of the court at present - the Wuwei Central Army. Most of the people formed are bannermen, and a very small number are coated slaves and recruited soldiers. Each of them is loyal, but they are also very powerful and have a wide range of relationships. If you talk about it, you can get the relationship between the banner master and nobleman.

Everyone has extraordinary backgrounds, and it is not necessarily true that they can become an officer. When it is deadly, the order is really not very useful.

The officer gritted his teeth in hatred, rolled up his whip and pointed at their heads, and scolded loudly: "Dog guy, you really want to die here! The revolutionary army may be able to catch up at any time. What are you planning to be a prisoner?"

The Bingpi sneered and said, "I'm going to be a prisoner, what's wrong? The revolutionary army treats prisoners preferentially, food, drink and food, and take-out teaching and learning ability! Maybe in a few months, I will be able to do a serious job, which is better than the one who is immortal! Brothers, are you so kind?"

"Yes! That's right! We all listened to it!"

"I have heard from them that the revolutionary army will not kill innocent people indiscriminately! We have never harmed people in our lives. In the past, we were just obedient to the people, which is great!"

The officer's face was twisted into a ball, and he felt a breath in his chest, as if he was about to explode at any time.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting coldly from afar: "The prisoners of the Revolutionary Army still have to serve labor. You are afraid that you will be exhausted to death in three days! Have you ever figured this out?"

The sound was as hard as iron and copper cast. It rushed over, like a steel knife cutting the face, and immediately suppressed everyone's nonsense. Following the sound, he saw an officer wearing a yellow jacket riding a horse, his eyes trembling in the wind. He was a senior officer with status!

"It's that hard guy Tieliang! Get up. How can this guy really behave. Don't suffer a big loss, you can't even cry!"

The soldiers who were yelling to kill him, just saw his black face, immediately got up from the ground like a clockwork, slapped the dust and straightened their hats, and kept guns all around and resisted the disaster, and whispered to each other to call the secret code--I will be unanimous to the outside world later!

Tieliang was the Minister of Military Affairs, Ronglu, the Minister of War and the President of the Wuwei Army. The leader who was appointed as the President of the Wuwei Army was appointed by the Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Empress

Since Yang Hao raised his troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty and took over the armies of Nie Shicheng and Song Qing, the Qing court further strengthened its control over the remaining military forces. Not only did Ronglu general manage the entire army, he even personally served as the president of the Central Army of the Wuwei. After reaching the West, Yuan Shikai judged the situation and took the opportunity to resign and return to his hometown, but left his trusted backbone to control the most powerful military military forces, freeing up his position.

Empress Dowager Cixi and Ronglu were both smart people. They could see what their intention was, of course they believed that 90% of the Han troops were the Han people. Therefore, after arriving in Xi'an, they started to mix sand into it.

First, the Wuwei Central Army, which was mainly the bannermen, promoted Tieliang to command; Ronglu personally served as the president of the Wuwei Right Army. Second, several young bannermen elites were stuffed into it, acting as the main officers, and promoted and won over those who had weak stances, and used their hands to control the overall situation. For example, the General Staff Camp Office and the Military Officer Academy supervised Jiang Chaozong, who was promoted to replace the General Staff Office of the Old Brother Yuan Shikai, Xu Shichang.

In addition, Bell Aisin Gioro Yulang reorganized the left army of the Wuwei as the president; he stuffed the bannerman Aisin Gioro Liangbi into the Wuwei rear army headed by Dong Fuxiang, thinking that he was in control.

Not to mention the leadership level of these people, at least in terms of information flow, they are undoubtedly much better than before. In addition, in the past two years, they have reorganized the military guards and expanded the total force to more than 100,000 people, including many bannermen gathered from all over the country and servants from Mongolian flags.

Seriously speaking, the combat effectiveness of the Wuwei Army after expanding and mixing sand has not only not improved, but has also plummeted. Those bannermen who have been constantly fleeing from coastal provinces are not ordinary people who are obedient to themselves - those who honestly accept their fate have been transformed into civilians for several generations to do small business and support themselves.

At least hundreds of thousands of bannermen went to Shaanxi, but they turned it into chaos. The fertile land in Guanzhong centered on Xi'an almost made these people poor and bad waters.

The more we reach the end of this dynasty, the more crazy the ruling class felt that the future was. The flag people relied on the army and the psychological pressure formed over two hundred years, plundered the property of the Guanzhong people and seized it unscrupulously to satisfy their unlimited extravagant consumption. Millions of Guanzhong people became their slaves and lived a dark life again.

The people of Guanzhong have always been rebellious, and of course they will not let the bannermen bully them. But they have no weapons in their hands, and they will only sacrifice in vain with their passionate efforts to fight against the bannermen with guns in their hands.

But these blood debts have been accumulating, silently waiting for the day of liquidation to arrive.

The bannermen and soldiers who usually oppressed good people and really needed them to fight, they all had diarrhea and looked ugly. Empress Dowager Cixi saw the true faces of these people and did not expect them to withstand the attack of the revolutionary army. After learning that Zhang Zhidong had stepped down from the field and gave up the two lakes, she made a quick decision to move in again.

The Wuwei Central Army, who was mainly the bannermen, seized the opportunity and actively asked to be a vanguard officer. It seemed brave, but in fact it could run ahead of the large army. When they found something was wrong, they could easily get rid of everyone without any effort and run away!

The problem is that the journey north is not smooth. From Guanzhong to the Mongolian grassland, there is a vast area with the harshest environment on the Loess Plateau. Even in the past two years, the Qing court has almost requisitioned half of Shaanxi's manpower and tried to repair a road directly to Hetao, but it is ultimately impossible to compare with the national highway that Yang Hao invested heavily in cash machinery.

When escaping, don't expect to be calm and gentle. With the two palaces as the core, the large army can only move in tens of thousands of yuan and drive, and after the large army is driven, it can't walk dozens of kilometers a day. All the princes, ministers and bannermen want to carry houses. The family has to occupy dozens of large trucks and 100 laborers, which is quite small. They have not developed a strict concept of traffic, nor have strong human-dwelling command and guidance. Therefore, during the entire escape process, the roads are always crowded. The inefficiency is outrageous.

After walking slowly for hundreds of kilometers, the Central Army of Wuwei, who was running in front of Maduo, could not bear it anymore. After finally passing the desert Gobi in the northern part of Yulin, he arrived at the central Ordos grassland. His eyes saw the green, and he was not so irritable.

The force that the bannermen and soldiers were tense was finally completely extinguished.

Tieliang was one of the few capable generals among the bannermen in the late Qing Dynasty. He never lowered the standards and demanded himself and the troops. Even on the way to escape, he still maintained a serious and serious style.

He rode a red horse and looked down at the soldiers who were standing still without standing preface. A sense of irritation burst into his heart. He almost rushed over and stepped on these bears into a paste!

But the anger that filled his chest had just swelled up, rushing his face to the red, and a blue vein rose from the back of his hand that grabbed the reins, and was forced to control it by his calm mind. Because he could see that the soldiers were indeed exhausted and had no energy to continue to support him.

There are too many people smoking big smoke among the Wuwei Army that cannot be controlled.

The soldiers looked at President Tieliang with fear, fearing that he would pull out the sword with his right hand to chop people. After waiting for a while, he heard Tieliang shouting in a depressed voice: "Tell me the order. The horse team dispersed the alert, and the team rested on the spot for an hour!"

After saying that, he turned his horse's head and ran briskly towards the rear. From a distance, he saw the chariot with an umbrella towering and slowed down.

In the middle of the migration team that stretched for more than ten kilometers, there were the chariots of the two palaces. With more than two thousand cavalry escorted on both sides, hundreds of large inner guards in yellow jackets surrounded two large trucks. The car was modified from custom parts purchased from the east, with steel plate shock absorption, large axles and tires like steam buses. It was made of precious wood to recreate an ultra-large structure with a width of about four meters and a length of more than eight meters.

Such a big guy is generous and heavy, and if you run, you can block most of the roads in this era.

However, Empress Dowager Cixi refused to let herself be wronged. She expected that she might have to escape in the future and would never be willing to ride a carriage that could push people out of their intestines. She ordered Li Lianying to personally stare at completing the construction of two big carts.

The decoration inside is luxurious and luxurious, and all kinds of treasures brought from the capital are inlaid and displayed everywhere. It is simply a mobile super luxury villa. If the things inside are taken out for auction, it will be worth at least tens of millions of taels of silver.

The construction of the road from Xi'an to Yulin is comparable to the standard that these two large trucks can pass through. All narrow bridges have been widened, and the rugged road surface has been filled and renovated. Various machinery from the east have been widely used to recruit local residents, and it has finally been completed in two years.

However, even with such good conditions, she still exhausted after walking for hundreds of kilometers.

The large cart, which was dragged by sixteen horses, stopped slowly with the scolding of the driver in front. The commander of the inner guard not far away hurriedly urged the horse to come over and approached the carriage and asked respectfully about the situation.

Li Lianying hunched her back and opened the door from the side of the car, coughed gently at the other party, and said slowly: "God of Lafayette is sympathetic to the hard work of the big guys, and he gave the order to let the team rest."

The guard commander turned away with gratitude, knelt on one knee, and thanked her loudly. Then he got up and turned his head to convey her order.

Li Lianying did not turn around immediately, and just stood in front of the car door. Her filthy old eyes looked at the wilderness that was covered with green grass. At the horizon where she looked, there seemed to be a strong pillar of smoke rising. He sighed in his heart: "All this is the case, why bother committing those sins!"

However, these words were not his turn to say, just sighing silently and worrying secretly. Maybe he could only bury his bones in his life and could not return to his hometown.

After a while, I heard the dry voice of Cixi in the carriage calling: "Little Li, let them open the windows and dissipate the turbid air in the car."

"Yeah." Li Lianying agreed, swung the whisk and turned back, and after a few simple instructions, the eunuchs and palace maids who were accompanying him quickly pushed the glass window open halfway, allowing the wind outside to filter through the screen window and blow in.

Li Lianying walked in with her waist bent over. At the bottom of the carriage, Empress Dowager Cixi leaned against the pillow sickly, staring at the little emperor sitting in front of the side table, holding a brush and writing big characters seriously.

After two years of maintenance, the moist and smooth skin of the Lao Fu suddenly grew older. Not only did wrinkles cover her face, but her hairline also retreated a lot, revealing a big forehead, which was exactly what she disliked the most. Although her almost completely white hair had been used with hair dye from the east, she could not hold back the white roots of her hair. She no longer had the honor of being forty years old before, but she almost returned to the appearance of a sixty-year-old old lady.

After the team stopped, the sand and dust that had been trampled was quickly blown away. The fresh air with the smell of grass swept away the turbidity in the carriage, and Empress Dowager Cixi's spiritual strength was improved because of this.

Li Lianying quickly stepped forward and waited in front of the bed, allowing Cixi to slowly get up with his arm, move step by step to the window outside, and look down at the grassland from a high place.

After a while of silence, she suddenly asked quietly: "Little Lizi, do you think we can still come back in the future when we leave today?"

Li Lianying lowered her head and replied: "With you, Mr. Lafayette, you will definitely come back."

Cixi narrowed her eyes, looked at the world behind from a distance, and squeezed out a few words in a low voice: "I'm afraid, I can't do it anymore."

A layer of goose bumps appeared on the back of Li Lianying's neck, and a chill spread throughout his body. He knew why he asked if he was just talking.

Just a few dozen kilometers behind the migration team, where Yulin border is located, an army is igniting all the houses in a town. The strong smoke column caused by the raging fire sways like a black dragon and heading straight into the sky! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
