”Quickly move the incense case, is there a incense burner?” Liu Jintang's janissaries quickly took control of them.
Duo Luo raised his hand and said, ”There's no need. His Majesty's dictum is without an imperial edict …”
”His Majesty said that the western troops have worked hard and have great achievements. We are very concerned about that, but we are not in a position where we can overstep our authority and bestow upon you the titles of nobility … They had specially sent messengers to bestow rewards to Liu Jintang, Xu Zhanbiao and the others … ”Two eyes, a flowery plume, a yellow vest …”
”Reward Zuo Zongtang... Three Eyed Flower Plume! ”
”AHH!” The soldiers who were kneeling on the ground immediately took in a breath of cold air. Qing Dynasty had been giving out rewards to military officials for over two hundred years, but the Three-eyed Flower Feathers were very little.
This was a great honor! Since Tongzhi did not have his own authority, and the title and title could not be bestowed, he could only use his reputation to win over the hearts of the people.
However, this was all officials could do. This kind of honor was a political symbol, an absolute glory in the eyes of the public!
Liu Jintang was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears. Your subject kowtows to Xie Tianshu! ”
Duo Luo and Guan Lu had already announced their decree, and the next thing to do was to lower themselves to the higher ups. The two of them looked at each other and supported Liu Jintang up.
”General …” This official has already declared his decree, now it's time for us to pay our respects to the officer! The first tier guard of the Forbidden City, Duo Luo and Guan Lu, greets the general! ”
After saying that, he continued to fight!
It was fine if they didn't have the registration number, but once they did, the surrounding soldiers were all stunned. ”What?” A first class guard of the Forbidden City … ”Good heavens, this is still a standard-bearer!”
”Impossible, the standard-bearer would suffer from this? All the way from India? ”
The soldiers were whispering to each other in disbelief. These were all veterans who had helped during the process of growing hair. They had interacted with the flagman army before.
To tell the truth, from the bottom of their hearts, these fierce soldiers looked down on these flag men. In the entire Eight Banner Army, other than the dead Monk's army that could still fight, the rest were all cowards.
Perhaps one out of a hundred was a brave warrior, but this kind of person was also an arrogant devil with his eyes closed. They were definitely impatient with chores.
The soldiers in the flagman camp would never dig trenches, repair tools, or roll about in the mud. Not to mention running errands from tens of thousands of miles away, they all felt that this was the work of the lower class!
However, looking at the two so-called 'First Class Imperial Guards', their clothes were all torn and dirty, their hands were full of frostbite and black mud, and their faces were purple and red from being exposed to the sun.
Looking back and forth, there did not seem to be a single person acting arrogantly. How could this be the ancestors of those banner men?
When Duo Luo and Guan Lu saw the questioning expression of the surrounding soldiers, and heard the idle chatter, their faces turned red from embarrassment. In the end, they gritted their teeth and spoke viciously.
”So what if he is? Can't the flagman endure the hardships? Don't forget, there are so many territories in the Western Regions … It was also beaten down by us, the ancestors of the banner men! ”
”In the three dynasties of Kang Yong, we flagmen spilled a lot of blood here!”
Liu Jintang fiercely glared at his subordinates, then went forward and held onto Duo Luo and Guan Lu's hands that were filled with cold sores. ”Brother! Since you have come to the Western Regions, then there will not be any difference between the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty! ”
”Our common enemy is Yaqub, we want to leave this land for future generations! You all are very kind, you all are very kind! ”
”Don't worry about others, just treat them like popinjays is their choice. We will choose to be men!”
