The total number of cattle, sheep and horses in Kapchaga exceeded 100,000, which was already a scale that the Cossack Cavalry regiment could not resist. The first batch of more than 20,000 livestock ran wildly and swallowed up all the 500 Cossack Pioneers, let alone the more numbers in the future.

The expedition team made it clear that we bought these livestock for money, but they only asked the animals to help them. When everyone escaped, the brave people could come back and collect these livestock at will.

It is impossible for so many livestock to die, nor can they all become the spoils of Rakshasa ghosts. There will always be fish that miss the net. Then you will take them away, and whoever gets them will belong to them.

The herdsmen saw a glimmer of hope and worked harder. Many brave herdsmen with superb equestrian skills began to drive the livestock group to move further west, and they rushed up to face the main force of the Cossacks.

The expedition team was finally safe, and they walked lightly along the frozen Yili River and headed eastward.

The Chalun River, the Kur Power Ke River... and many streams were frozen due to the cold. The rivers that had to rely on ferries in the past have become smooth roads.

Gordon looked at the frozen river and said viciously, "It would be great if I brought a little more. I exploded the entire ice cap for him. I'll see how they cross the river..."

Samuel Baker wrapped his bear fur coat tightly, "It's useless, it can be frozen overnight in such a cold weather..."

"No...no, the Lord is right..." The guide beside him shouted in the wind, "It's true that the weather is cold, and it's true that the night is frozen... But the frozen ice surface cannot bear the trampling of the cavalry team!"

"The ice cap is too thin... a large number of war horses cannot pass through, and they must be frozen for at least two days and two nights..."

"Look at it... I'm right, I really should bring more..."

"It's useless. The cavalry is spreading their legs and can take a detour across the river..."

It was indeed dangerous to contact. When the expedition team turned around and could not see the terrifying Cossack cavalry, these people actually had time to fight.

Only Samuel Baker felt a little sorry for his collections, many animals, plants and minerals are very rare and rare, and sending them to Europe will definitely cause a sensation.

Also feeling distressed were Duolu and Guan Lu. The two of them spent money overnight, spending more than 300,000 silver notes, including all the cash and silver coins.

"What should I do! What should I do with Master Long live?"

"The six hundred thousand silver notes are the private money of Long Sui Ye. We are asked to hand them over to Grandmaster Zuo Zongtang with our own hands... Now we have spent half of them!"

Guan Lu's face turned into bitter gourd and sighed, "I can also guess the thoughts of Master Long live. He wanted to use his private money to help him become the commander. After all, the court can give too little military expenditure..."

"As long as the General Zuo received His Majesty's private money, he would understand the painstaking efforts of Long Live... Our imperial party must have its own soldiers and its own loyal officials!"

That's right, Doro and Guan Lu became Zaichun's envoys, and they slept in the open and detoured from Central Asia to meet Zuo Zongtang, with a very clear purpose.

The first one is to conduct on-site inspection of the customs and customs of Central Asia for Zaichun and see with your own eyes what the war in Xinjiang has turned into.

The second is to investigate how deep the Tsarist Russia infiltration was, especially the British people like Gordon and others, who were more interested in this issue. After all, there are many conflicts between Britain and Tsarist Russia in Central Asia.

The third important reason is to win over Zuo Zongtang to become a member of the Imperial Party!

Zaichun and Xiao Letian have personally experienced the political system of Europe for so long. He is no longer the childish child in Sijiu City before.

He already understood that even if he had the right to be loyal, others would not take the initiative to hand over the power to himself!

There are many factions in such a large imperial country. If you don’t form a loyal imperial party yourself, you will not be able to fight against other forces.

Needless to say, without actual rights, he could not even defeat his two mothers!

Zuo Zongtang is a very important figure. Although he was born in the Hunan Army system, Zuo Zongtang and Zeng Guofan called each other brothers, while Li Hongzhang was slick and directly respected Zeng Guofan as his teacher.

There are tricks here. In fact, Zeng Guofan did not teach his subordinates anything, but in the political situation in the late Qing Dynasty, if the subordinates and the superiors were imperial examination officials, they could call each other teachers according to their age and examination qualifications.

The teacher can take one of the heaven, earth, the king, the parents and teachers. If you call this, you will naturally feel that your emotions will be one step closer!

But Zuo Zongtang was not like this. Although Zeng Guofan was earlier than him and ranked higher than him, he was his superior, but he refused to call him a teacher, but called him brothers. This shows Zuo Zongtang's arrogance.

Such a person does not belong to any force. He will only become a force himself or be directly loyal to the emperor. Now, Zuo Zongtang has chosen the latter.

After Zaichun's guards received Western-style military training in Ryukyu, nearly two-thirds of the outstanding people were sent to Fujian, which is Zuo Zongtang's sphere of influence.

It was under Zuo Zongtang's financial and power intervention that Zaichun had formed his own direct troops, and the soldiers he chose were also hard-working mountain villagers in Wuyi Mountain.

It can be said that Zuo Zongtang has been branded as the Imperial Party, but it has not been fully implemented. This time, Doro and Guan Lu brought the emperor's private money to work in the army, which is a profound meaning!

As long as Zuo Zongtang is not a fool, he can understand the emperor’s intention!

But unexpectedly, the 600,000 silver notes were not half before they were delivered to Zuo Zongtang!

At the critical moment, Doro, the eight banner playboy, was open-minded, and the bannerman's spirit of being fearless and unlucky, came out again.

"Don't worry, Lao Guan, isn't it just money? There is a way to have money, and there is a way to have no money!"

"Zuo Zongtang is also at the level of a commander-in-chief. He doesn't take hundreds of thousands of taels of silver seriously... What this kind of person wants is an attitude. Even if the Lord Long Live will give him 60,000 taels, he dare not refuse to admit this friendship!"

"I don't have money, I still have a good tongue, I still have this life!"

"If he doesn't give me an accurate word, I will hit him to death in his military tent!"

Gordon vaguely listened to the conversation between the two guards, letting the translator guess what it meant, and finally sighed in a low voice, "Oh... Dear Your Majesty, your journey to rule is too difficult!"

"The Qing Empire is too big, and it is too heavy to master such a large empire... I hope you can hold on!"

"Great Queen, please rest assured that with me... the interests of the Empire of the Sun never set in Asia will never be damaged! I swear to protect it with my life!"

Not only Gordon but also the guards, Samuel Baker also secretly looked everything with the corners of his eyes, hiding the most confidential map of Central Asia in his arms.

The explorer himself is a top master in drawing military maps. Even Gordon didn't know that Samuel Baker was behind the secret support of the Imperial Army.
