3538 Carrying the Coffin Westward Expedition
The ancient Huangsha Road, the northwest wind is bitter! Just as Zuo Zongtang was dispatching troops to order, a strong wind suddenly flew past, and sand and stones were flying all over the sky.
The stones as big as fists on the ground rolled drippingly, and you saw the stubborn stones nodding in the mountains on both sides of the road and it was about to fall off.
"Protect the Grand Marshal... protect the Grand Marshal..." The loyal guards followed him when they were Pingping Heavenly Kingdom. These people had already integrated with the Grand Marshal, and their lives were already entangled.
The Grand Marshal is their god, and the blessing of the second half of his entire family!
This strange wind was probably above level 10, with monsters and monsters roaring from all directions, and the stone hit the soldier's heads and blood burst out.
"Set shield array!" The wooden shields on one side were lifted up, and the soldiers leaned against each other against the strong wind in the northwest!
Cracking, the stone hit the wooden shield and made a strange image, just like there were ghost soldiers fighting in a sandstorm!
Facing the power of heaven and earth, Zuo Zongtang did not hide but walked out of the curtain. He put on a pergola in his hand and looked at the demon wind from all directions and kept sneering!
"I came with a coffin, so I never thought of going back alive... What kind of demons and monsters block my way, so I can't even succeed!"
"No matter how evil wind is... I will carry my coffin forward first!"
"Abide by the commander of the commander!"
Thirty-two tower-like guards rushed to the carriage in the team. At this moment, the big beast was so scared by the demon wind that he dared not move. After all, animals were animals who were very frightened by the power of heaven and earth.
At this time, only people come, and only iron-clad men dare to move forward against the wind!
"Unlock the reins of the animal... Brothers carry the coffin!"
The wooden bars were crossed together and tied with thick hemp ropes. The bars carried by thirty-two people were quickly tied up!
The handsome guard with red spirit on his upper body was raising a wooden bar on his shoulders, "Rise up! Carry the coffin forward!" The red nanmu wooden coffin slowly lifted from the carriage and leaned against the wind against the wind!
Human and natural power are so sharpened together. Jiayuguan is ahead, and no one has ever looked back on tens of thousands of soldiers!
Zuo Zongtang narrowed his eyes and looked up at the sky, "That's all the skills? Hahaha... I want to scare my steps in the face of this little demonic wind? I have brought 100,000 soldiers, and since I left the Central Plains, I have never thought about going back alive!"
"I want to see if you, the Western Region demon, have great power! Or my 100,000 soldiers have high fighting spirit!"
"Your damn Taoism will destroy the blessings of my 100,000 elites, and you can suppress the virtues of my 100,000 Central Plains men! Then what's wrong with me dying here!"
"I'm nearly sixty years old... I've lived enough!"
Zuo Zongtang suddenly jumped onto the war horse and shouted at the guards carrying the coffin and the soldiers around him, "Don't think that the commander, I took you to death! Don't think that I will forget your contribution!"
"The Western Regions were our home as early as the Han Dynasty. We have never forgotten a day after thousands of years... Want to take away our home from us? There is no door, step on my corpse first!"
"Brothers! Let me tell you the truth... I have captured the hometown of the Western Regions, and this will be our new home in the future!"
"We will have all the money we earn in the future when the Western Regions are rebuilt! We will make a lasting share for our descendants!"
"I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of this little demonic wind?"
Tens of thousands of tigers roared in unison on the post road, "If I didn't practice my previous life, I would be a fighter in this life! If I don't fight in this life, will we let our children and grandchildren exchange their lives for food like us?"
"The commander is willing to give up, so why can't we bear to give up? The expedition to the west...the expedition to the west..."
The ancient Huangsha Road was full of roars from the west. The good man's passion really suppressed the power of heaven and earth at that moment!
The wind became less surprised by these shouts. When the thief God really softened, the entire army suddenly burst into an excited roar like a tsunami.
"God, if we are hard, he will become soft! Hahaha..."
Seeing the army's morale suddenly recovered and Zuo Zongtang smiled and said, "The dinner standard will be doubled when camping tonight! It is necessary to ensure that all brothers can eat broth... and divide the canned beef imported from Ryukyu into batches!"
"Yes! Thank you for your kindness to your brother..."
Zuo Zongtang rode his horse to a higher hillside on the side of the road, raised his horse whip and pointed at the wilderness and said loudly, "Tell me my order to quickly purchase saplings, willows, poplars, and sand dates... As long as the saplings that can adapt to the climate here are needed!"
"Look for old herdsmen and local people, and find groundwater veins... My 100,000 army cannot just fight! Plant trees for me!"
"Ah? Planting trees!" Liu Jintang was stunned.
"That's right, I just want to plant trees... I don't know the hardship here if I don't come to the Western Regions. The hardship here is the first thing that comes from the environment! We can't just destroy it, we have to learn to build it!"
"Grow trees along the water system, and trees along the road... Not only that, we have to set rules. Whoever planted trees will have to hang their own business card and be responsible for the survival of the trees!"
"The remaining time for field troops except for war is to train and plant trees, and the local troops stationed in them are even less likely to be lazy!"
"If you plant trees, you have to be responsible for planting them! Red lanterns must be hung every ten steps on the trees on both sides of the official road to avoid collisions at night..."
"I hope... when I return to Beijing to report my work successfully, I can walk to the capital along the way with the green shade!"
"Brothers! Where are we from?"
Zuo Zongtang asked, and the people around him answered in unison, "Huxiang children!"
"Okay! Our hometown is not like this. Now that we have arrived at our new home, we have to build it like our hometown... and it must be a land of fish and rice!"
"We have to show off! Let the people of the Western Regions compare... Should we live a good life with them Agubo, or should we live a good life with us Han people!"
Liu Jintang suddenly realized it. He slapped his hands and cheered, "That's right! That's it! The Grand Marshal is so smart... and he passed the order. The Grand Marshal ordered that Zuo Gongliu plant all over the way!"
"From today, all the willow trees in the Western Regions... will be changed to Zuo Gongliu!"
Zuo Zongtang was stunned when he heard this, "Ah... this is a bit over..."
"How did you calculate this? You should get the score! You have to call it that..."
Since then, Xinjiang has a unique species, the title "Zuo Gongliu", has been passed down to the 21st century.
This demonic wind was suppressed by the blood of 100,000 Hunan children, and after the wind and sand fell, Jiayuguan in the distance gradually revealed its true appearance.
"Jiayuguan...the end of the Ming Great Wall...the end of the Yumen Pass and the end of the Han Great Wall... After passing here, there is no trace of the Central Plains. This is the real Western Regions..."
That night, Zuo Zongtang entered Jiayuguan, and the army camped on the edge of the Great Wall. The bonfires were as dense as the galaxy, and the sight of them could not be seen at a glance!
