The new army, who originally planned to attack Shanhaiguan, was welcomed to the ashore. Feng Zicai's personal team, admired the new army. Xiang Rong's Jiangnan camp was trapped overnight. Although he led his brothers to protect Xiang Rong from the siege, if the new army did not respond in time, he would still be unable to escape the word "death". Unfortunately, Xiang Rong, who has always been greedy for life and fear of death, chose to commit suicide after breaking through the siege, wasting the blood of the soldiers. Feng Zicai was also sent to this side.

"The last general Feng Zicai has seen Lord Yang." Yang Yi was so excited when he saw Feng Zicai. When the Jiangnan camp was broken by the Taiping Army, Yang Yi led the new army to the Dabie Mountains, he could not help at all. Feng Zicai's name Yang Yi will never forget. How could Yang Yi forget this chief general of Zhennan Pass during the Sino-French War? But Yang Yi was not very clear about Feng Zicai's specific origin, so he was so wandering here after the Jiangnan camp was destroyed. If Yang Yi had known that Feng Zicai was Xiang Rong, he would probably have to reach out to find Xiang Rong to ask for someone. But it was not too late now. I didn't expect that the hero in his memory would suddenly appear in front of him. When he first heard about it, Yang Yi was happy, and then he couldn't wait to see Feng Zicai. When he really saw it, Yang Yi couldn't help but feel excited, and forgot to reach out to support Feng Zicai.

"General Feng, I have heard of your name for a long time. I want to that town..." Yang Yi almost said Zhennan Pass, and quickly changed the subject by stepping forward to help Feng Zicai up. "General Feng is covering up the siege of the millions of thieves, and is responsible for a tiger general. It's a pity that Xiang is loyal and righteous and does not want to survive. But I know General Feng's prestige. I just don't understand, why did the general fall into such a field?"

Feng Zi was only 40 years old in 1858. He rebelled with the Heaven and Earth Association. Later, he was recruited and followed Xiang Rong from Guangxi to the city of Nanjing. He finally promoted a large number of generals, but who knew that he still fell into such a field today.

Although Feng Zicai did not agree with Yang Yi's evaluation of Xiang Rong Zhongyi, he still knew that Yang Yi and Xiang Rong had a close relationship. Now, I was moved when I heard Yang Yi praise him like this. After all, there are still some people who have not forgotten the military achievements he made. Feng Zicai's attitude towards Yang Yi was even more humble and he was particularly polite when speaking.

"Supervisor Yang, why did you get to this Shanhaiguan?" Feng Zicai also asked casually. With his current identity, he was not qualified to ask Yang Yi.

"Oh!! Nowadays, the bureaucrats in the court are corrupt and control the government, Yang decided to join forces with the Sixth Prince to clear the ruling side of the king. I hope General Feng will help me." Yang Yi's meaning was very clear, that is, I and the Japanese devils would seize power, so those who knew the truth would stand on my side. If you have any disagreement, you would be embarrassed.

In fact, Yang Yi's current identity and status do not need to talk too much with Feng Zicai. The purpose of this is nothing more than to express his importance to Feng Zicai, so as to win over the hearts of the people, and to accept this generation of famous generals to serve him. Feng Zicai certainly understood what Yang Yi meant. He was sent to this ghost place to be imposed. He thought that his life would be over, and he never thought he would have a day to make a comeback. He knew the strength of the new army the most, and it would definitely be no harm to follow Yang Yi. At that moment, Feng Zicai said: "For the sake of the Lord, Feng Zicai's five-foot body will be left to the Lord in the future."

When Yang Yi heard Feng Zicai's statement, he was secretly happy, but it was not easy to show it on the surface, but he just said calmly: "Since that's the case, I think General Feng will first be wronged by my new army. After I recommend the general to the court to resume his post, what will happen if I arrange a separate day?" Yang Yi's words meant that although Feng Zicai said he wanted to hang out with me, he had to show his performance first to believe you, right? What kind of status Feng Zicai will have in the future depends on the specific performance to decide.

Feng Zicai was a smart man and was quite enthusiastic about his career, otherwise he would not have been recruited at the beginning. How could he not understand the meaning of Yang Yi's words? So Feng Zicai immediately politely said to Yang Yi: "Feng Zicai is willing to drive by his master, and he will never refuse." This time, Yang Yi made a gesture, and you are so kind to accept this gift from him.

Shanhaiguan easily fell into Yang Yi's hands. Now the emperor in Beijing was already in a turtle. Standing on the majestic Shanhaiguan wall, watching the majestic Great Wall wandering like a dragon on the mountains. Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh at the longevity and breadth of the Chinese nation, and his desire to revitalize China was even more urgent. At this time, the Western powers had completed the industrial revolution and began to enter the era of electrification revolution. China had already fallen far behind. Time was tight, so we must be the first time.

Only by solving domestic problems can we free up our hands to repel the revenge of the great powers, and then comprehensively develop domestic industries, trying to bring China into the ranks of world-class powers in the shortest time. Thinking of this, Yang Yi looked south at the distance, what was Li Xiucheng doing at this time? Did he cross the Yellow River? Yang Yi once again deeply felt the importance of wireless telegraph. He will vigorously promote the process of electrification in the future. I don’t know if Hoffman and Smith returned to Shanghai?

Yang said to Zhang Jian beside him without looking back: "Notify the Japanese 6 that we will occupy Shanhaiguan as scheduled, everything depends on his own."

Although it was already dark, there was still a lively scene on the Yellow River Ferry. Torches shone brightly on the ferry. Ferries docked at the ferry, and new soldiers kept boarding the ferry. There were two floating bridges on the river surface, and the baggage and artillery troops continued to go north of the Yellow River along the ferry bridge. The turbid river water was flowing rapidly, and occasionally you could see vortex flowing on the water surface, and a few waves were rising from time to time, swaying.

On the rooster bridge. Thanks to God's help, there has not been much rain in the Yellow River Basin in the past month. The water surface of the Yellow River is not high and the water flow is not very fast. The vanguard was able to successfully build two rooster bridges. The Yellow River in September seemed much calmer, but today the weather was frightening, and there was little wind on the river surface. Li Xiucheng had a premonition that a heavy rain would come. If he did not cross the river in time, the troops might be blocked on the southern bank of the Yellow River.

The 155mm howitzer was marching on the pontoon bridge with difficulty under the pull of the pack horse. The heavy gun body pressed on the wooden board of the pontoon bridge and made a silence. In front was the animals pulled, behind were soldiers shouting horns and using bars to fight. The troops slowly moved forward on the pontoon bridge.

Li Xiucheng stood on a high place on the shore and looked silently at the troops crossing the river. On the surface, Li Xiucheng seemed very calm, but in fact he was so anxious that he couldn't stand it. If he delayed the major affairs of Yang Tusel, he would really have no face to face Yang Yi.

"Brother, more than half of the troops have passed, so it's time for you to pass." Li Shixian always likes to call Li Xiu the eldest brother in front of others, so as to show his uniqueness. Li Xiucheng frowned and whispered: "Don't call me Big Brother in front of everyone in the future, as this will not be a good impact." Li Shixian's face turned red when he was said, and Nuonuo whispered: "I'm used to it."

He loved this younger brother Li Xiucheng very much. Sometimes he had no choice but to go with him, so he had to go with him. However, today he seemed particularly stern and said in a deep voice: "If you get used to it, you have to change it." Li Xiucheng was about to say a few more words, but Lai Hanying walked over. Hong Xiuquan's brother-in-law now has no glory as before, and has relied on Li Xiucheng's current status. He still respects Li Xiucheng very much, so Lai Hanying saluted Li Xiucheng first and then reported: "Sir, the heavy artillery troops have all crossed the river. Please give instructions." Hearing that the slowest heavy artillery had already crossed the river, Li Xiucheng's heart was also put down.

"Very good. Order the entire army to speed up the marching speed after crossing the river. You must rush to the city of Beijing within the time specified by General Yang. If anyone disobeys the military order, he will rectify the law on the spot." After Li Xiucheng said that, he couldn't help looking in the direction of Beijing, and he didn't know where Yang Yi's troops had arrived. Li Xiucheng listened to the cold words, and Lai Hanying and Li Shixian were chilling and saluted the same. Then he left Li Xiucheng and returned to his own troops to urge the soldiers to speed up their actions.

The sky in the distance was shrouded in the darkness, and the earth was silently patient in this depressing night. A light flashed in the sky, followed by a rumbling sound, and a muffled thunder began to blow on the river surface. The wind became heavier and louder, and lightning and exhaustion were getting more and more frequent. Li Xiucheng said intimately: The sky is about to change-

Under Shanhaiguan, the sky was finally covered by night. The soldiers of the New Army lit a bonfire and sat around the bonfire according to their respective units. Under the bonfire, you can vaguely see the traces left by the former garrison. There were not many troops stationed here, and the barracks were pitiful, so the soldiers of the New Army had to sleep under this majestic pass.

In a slightly dilapidated room in the military camp, Yang Yi, Zhang Jian and Nie Shicheng sat around in front of a shaking horse lantern. Yang Yi solemnly faced Nie Shicheng: "Pingting, after this Shanhaiguan, it is outside the pass, and outside the pass is the place where the Qing Dynasty was Longxing. If you lead 20,000 troops, you must purge the Northeast for me within half a year."

"Please rest assured, sir, Nie Shicheng will definitely live up to his expectations. But sir, you only leave tens of thousands of troops, are you a little less?" Nie Shicheng also expressed his concerns.

Nie Shicheng and Liu Mingchuan have always called Yang Yi a husband, and this habit remains the same until they are old. Whenever Yang Yi hears this title, he has an inexplicable intimacy. Yang Yi knows that Liu Mingchuan and Nie Shicheng are unwilling to be together with him. They are more willing to treat Yang Yi as a relative, brother, and teacher.

"The situation is urgent now. If the foreigners suffer losses in China, they will never give up and will definitely come to take revenge. So we must stabilize the country before the foreigners can reach the end so that we can have no worries. The northeast is too big and the winter is cold. Most of the new army brothers are from the south. I am afraid that they will not be able to adapt to the climate. Just take these brothers in front of me, and I will send 5,000 troops to escort the winter clothes to follow you."

"Thank you for your care, Mr. Nie Shicheng will definitely fight to repay you for your understanding." Feeling the arduous task, Nie Shicheng answered Yang Yi's words with a solemn expression.

Yang Yi quickly smiled, eased the atmosphere, then patted Nie Shicheng's shoulder and said, "Pongting, I don't want you to work hard. Remember, we must make full use of the people's hearts. Wherever the troops go, we must not only fight, but also vigorously promote the new agricultural policies I implemented in Jiangnan, persuade them to reduce rent and interest, investigate the guilty and evil local tyrants, and resolutely suppress them without mercy. We must mobilize the people from all over the country, arm them, and make them our army's reserves. Also, we must unite all the forces that can be united, one hero and three helpers." Speaking of this, Yang Yi felt dry, picked up the cup and took a sip of water, and continued, "What I worry most is the Russians, but the British

The French coalition forces arrived again, and the Russians would definitely send troops to the Northeast. You will face them directly. My opinion is that once the war starts, you cannot fight hard. You should lure the enemy into the depths and use the vast battlefields in the Northeast to defeat the Russians one by one." When Yang Yi said this, Zhang Jian also interjected: "Pongting, you have to be careful of everything outside the pass, and you must pass the information to the Lord in time. In the future, you will be the king of the Northeast. Everything in the Northeast depends on you." As Yang Yi's chief adviser, Zhang Jian felt it necessary to remind Yang Yi that he should be careful of his subordinates' own troops, so as not to become a big shot, so he took the conversation, and on the one hand he wanted to hit Nie Shicheng, and on the other hand he wanted to remind Yang Yi.

Of course, Yang Yi knew that Zhang Jian was kind-hearted. Yang Yi always regarded Nie Shicheng and Liu Mingchuan as brothers and trusted them very much. Yang Yi knew the meaning of Zhang Jian's words, but Yang Yi felt a little dissatisfied with Zhang Jian when he said this at this time. However, Yang Yi always respected Zhang Jian, and it was difficult to explain it clearly, so he looked at Zhang Jian strangely and expressed his dissatisfaction.

Zhang Jian saw dissatisfaction in Yang Yi's eyes, but he still answered Yang Yi with determination. All of what he said was necessary. After the two of them intertwined their eyes, they both shrank back to express their mutual understanding.

Another morning came. After a busy night, the Japanese Liu Yixin finally waited for the eight hundred miles of urgent documents that the emperor was about to return. Yixin was about to arrive after waiting for a day. The Nine Gate Admiral had already changed to his own people. The 100,000 troops from Tongzhou also quietly entered Beijing City, and the other 50,000 were also ambushed outside the city. Everything was in his own control, waiting for Xianfeng to fall into the trap. Yixin seemed to see power waving to him constantly.
