late Qing Dynasty arrest

Li Guolou oppressed women, and asked Xie Xiuzhu to copy documents for him as soon as he got home. He held a British infantry drill manual, which was catchy, and asked Xie Xiuzhu to write it down in beautiful fonts.Xie Xiuzhu was able to imitate his notes, and Li Guolou used a "stand-in" to serve him.As for the anthology and books in his collection, Wu Peipei sorted them out for him, and the three of them fought at night in the bedroom.I copied a section to the east and a section to the west, looking for inspiration from the military regulations of the Chu Army and the military regulations of the Huai Army.

To write the military rules and regulations of "Xinwutang", he will rush to meet another immediate boss, the principal of Xinwutang, Weng Tonghe, in the morning tomorrow. The means of making a move is not for everyone to pave the way with bank notes in order to be able to speak.The emperor's teacher is Weng Tonghe, the leader of the Qing sect, and he is not a corrupt official. Of course, at least 1000 taels of silver will be required to open the door.

"New Wutang Battalion System": The battalion is divided into 4 teams, with 1 battalion officer, 4 sentry officers, and 5 team supervisors, divided into one battalion-level supervisor and 4 sentry-level supervisors.

There are 500 infantry battalions, 25 partner soldiers, 250 cavalry battalions, 50 grooms, and 250 horses.Soldiers and husbands need 45 catties of rations per month, war horses need 150 catties of grain and 360 catties of forage per month.

Set up battalion officers, sentinel officers, and personal soldiers, separate teams with brocade flags, declare orders, and reorganize the Six Armies. All methods of building camps and formations all adhere to the "New Wutang Battalion System".Its battalion system consists of 1 battalion officer, 4 sentry officers, 1 battalion-level supervisor, and 4 sentry-level supervisors.There are 40 chiefs, 460 regular soldiers, 30 battalion officers' personal soldiers, 5 sentry officers and guards, and 525 ordinary sentinels led by battalion officers themselves.

Its cavalry battalion system consists of 1 battalion officer, 4 sentry officers, 5 supervisors, 5 sheds for each sentry, 1 superintendent for each shed, and 9 regular soldiers. 75 people.Where 300 people prepare.

Afterwards, the army was trained in Baoding, with 2000 horsemen, infantry, and defenders as an army. From this, the army was trained in the Zhili area. The Xuanhua army was trained with 2500 people, and the Gubeikou army was trained with 2500 people. There are 1500 people in Zhengding training army, 1500 people in Tongyong training army, 1500 people in one army, and six armies in total.

Team supervisors are compiled by Xinwutang and appointed by Xinwutang. They usually play the role of supervising, verifying and teaching the troops.There are personnel immunity in wartime, but no military command.It is not included in the daily establishment of the army, and is under the jurisdiction of Xinwutang, and the salary is also paid by Xinwutang.

Xie Xiuzhu changed her manuscript several times, and her writing was dizzy. She didn't understand anything. Li Guolou could write whatever Li Guolou wanted her to do, and she worked hard without complaint.

Wu Peipei couldn't bear to watch it anymore. She was the widow of You Gaoming, commander of the Eight Banners Guard of the Ministry of War, and she knew a little about military issues.Unable to bear it, he said, "Xiaolou, if you were asked to write "Xinwutang Yingzhi", why did you write all over it?"

Li Guolou smiled slightly and said: "Sister Peipei, how do you know about Big Beard's ambition? He just wants to reorganize all the soldiers and horses in the Gyeonggi area. The emperor asked him to be the principal of Xinwutang for this purpose. If he doesn't Holding the military power in my hands, I am not willing to give up. I am doing what I like. The bearded man will not come to see the establishment of 500 people. Only the bearded man will ask the emperor for merit if the elite of 11000 people are trained. .”

Wu Peipei said suspiciously: "Where is Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili, placed under his jurisdiction."

Li Guolou curled his lips and said, "My uncle, he only thinks about his Beiyang navy, and he wants to make a fortune from the Beiyang navy. Do you understand? As long as his Beiyang navy is not touched, other armies and border guards, he He’s not interested in taking care of it, even if he has money, he won’t throw the money at us.”

"Hehehehe!" Wu Peipei smiled and said, "Xiaolou, your skin is so thick, why are we full? Second grandma, do you think he is full?"

Xie Xiuzhu said triumphantly: "Old Ba, have you made a mistake? I am also Manchurian, with a blue flag, just like the Empress Dowager West Palace. Are you envious?"

After laughing, Wu Peipei found doubts again and asked: "Xiaolou, you are reorganizing the army stationed in the Gyeonggi area, not training the new army?"

Li Guolou looked up to the sky and sighed: "I also have no ambitions, but no place to give. You say that 500 recruits plus a cavalry will add up to more than 800 people. How much will it do. You can only do it." First help the master to reorganize the defense of Gyeonggi to make the master happy, and then give me more power, how can I organize and train more than 1 soldiers and horses by myself, am I not looking for death?"

Wu Peipei was overwhelmed with emotion, and sighed: "Xiaolou, Daqing is very lucky to have you, I hope you will not use your brain in the future."

Li Guolou looked at his pocket watch, smiled distressedly, and sighed: "It's already two o'clock in the middle of the night, and I can't use my brains. Get down, I will be dragged to death by them in the future."

Xie Xiuzhu and Wu Peipei played their hands together, caressed Li Guolou for a while, and then gave up after they were done.

The three of them were lying on the bed, Li Guolou sighed: "It's great that you can help me, I hope you don't make troubles about housework in the future."

"What are you thinking about? Go to sleep." Xie Xiuzhu, who was so sleepy, closed her eyes, let's talk about the future, now is a perfect big family.Let Li Guolou set foot on the Golden Luan Palace so quickly, it is all thanks to their capable grandmothers.

In the early morning, after Li Guolou had reprimanded the family and servants in the mansion, he left the house and went to see Weng Tonghe.Similarly, he also asked his servant to hand over the greeting card yesterday, and made an appointment before visiting.The official etiquette at this time is like this. There is no door to pass the word, and the officials do not see visitors.

Entering the living room of Weng Tonghe's mansion and meeting Weng Tonghe, Li Guolou turned over and knelt down, saying: "Teacher, student Li Guolou is here to see you."

Jinshi and degree holders can be called Weng Tonghe "teacher", because Weng Tonghe lectured and opened classes in the Imperial Academy, and there are people who are rich in learning and have students and old officials all over the world.

Weng Tonghe chuckled, stepped forward to support Li Guolou, and said, "Don't be so polite to Guolou, I'm ashamed of myself. Come, please sit down."

After sitting down to watch the tea, Li Guolou drank the first sip of tea when he went out, blew on the tea leaves on Xu's tea water, and took a sip of the fragrant tea slowly.Next, if the host does not invite you to drink tea, but picks up the teacup to drink tea by himself, then you will be driven away, which is also the rule in the officialdom.A warm current flowed in the abdomen, which was very comfortable. Li Guolou leaned over and said, "The teacher is teaching in the Imperial Academy. It is a great pity that the students have not been able to listen to it. This is the student's teacher's ceremony, please Take it, teacher." After speaking, Li Guolou handed over the gift list, turned around again, and kowtowed to Weng Tonghe three times. He seemed to be enjoying the scenery outside, and when he entered the court hall, there were hundreds of senior officials lining up in Li Guolou Ahead, for an errand, I have to worship a Buddha.

Giving gifts to people like Weng Tonghe who want to be named must be tasteful, and two gold ingots are enough for the teacher's gift, no more.The next step is calligraphy, paintings, antiques and other gadgets that can cultivate sentiment, so enough is enough.

"Well, as long as Guolou has the heart, don't be so polite next time." Tong He, who was taller than Li Guolou, narrowed his eyes and stroked a big beard. He was also a greedy person in the past.But who told him to become the emperor's teacher, in order to be famous all over the world, he can only cultivate his morals and become a famous person who is indifferent to fame and fortune.

Li Guolou took out the notebook from his armband, handed it over respectfully, and said, "Student, I was blessed by the Holy Grace yesterday and asked the student to be the chief academic officer of "Xinwutang". Last night, the students stayed up all night and wrote a handout and exercise manual for "Xin Wu Tang", I hope the principal will forgive me for any shortcomings."

Weng Tonghe took the manuscript from Li Guolou's hand, and unfolded the slips and discs, but he saw a long document densely written in beautiful handwriting.He couldn't help but look up at Li Guolou, he really didn't sleep all night, to sort out so many old things, it took half a night to use his brain.Looking at the content inside again, his expression changed, he smiled slightly, and secretly praised Li Guolou, a clever and delicate person who actually knew what he was thinking.The so-called "Xinwutang" is the rebuilt military academy of the new military system and the training base for military personnel.Taking advantage of the great opportunity for the reorganization of "Xinwutang", the officers in the Zhili area were cleaned again.In the future;;;;;; Take your time and clean all the middle and high-level military officers in the country.

How can the recruitment system of one battalion and one battalion satisfy the ambitious Weng Tonghe, who is looking forward to the day when he can compete with the "Eight-Power Allied Forces", the six-army formation of 11000 people is not enough!It is best to have a hundred thousand soldiers.But the most important thing is money, without money, everything is just talk.Wen Xiang, the Minister of Military Aircraft, satirized him in the court, not because he said he was talking big.Now the emperor has called Li Guolou to work under him. This famous playboy in the capital is a peerless master who can earn money and get sponsors.

Suddenly, Weng Tonghe rose from the ground and shouted in a resonant voice: "Guolou, don't leave today, go to the study with the old man and talk, I have a map of the Gyeonggi area, let's open our hearts and talk, then Where do we start from?"

Li Guolou had other business to do, and he was going to meet Prince Gong at the Prime Minister's Office in the morning. He pretended to be business-like, and inquired about the inside news of the palace. He also wanted to show his attitude to Prince Gong and swear allegiance to him.That's why I came to visit Weng Tonghe early in the morning. Who would have thought that Weng Tonghe would not let him go, and he couldn't say that he had something to do next, so he had to bite the bullet and come to the study.Secretly regretting, he should have gone to the Prime Minister's Office to meet Prince Gong first, now it's over, if he offends a mentor, Prince Gong will think that he is a villain who is ungrateful for profit.

In the study, Weng Tonghe took out the military deployment map of the Gyeonggi area and showed Li Guolou the positions of the six armies that needed to be reorganized.Li Guolou got bored and panicked when he saw it, and said honestly: "Principal Weng, the world has changed now, and the way this map is drawn is not like this. How can this kind of map be used for marching and fighting? Using this kind of map to fight against the Eight-Power Allied Forces When fighting a war, their geomorphology in the Gyeonggi area is also clearer than our own. We are fighting foreign invaders in our own country.

Weng Tonghe was extremely dissatisfied, and glanced at him and said, "Guolou, how do you know that foreigners have a map of our Gyeonggi region?"

"Principal Weng, do you still have to guess? Where did the foreign missionaries go? Just draw a map of that place. Since the first batch of people who entered the Qing Dynasty, foreigners have secretly drawn maps of our Qing territory. How many years have passed, foreigners Where is there no map? And what about us? We are still clinging to the land surveyed and mapped during the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Babazi, if you fight against foreigners with this kind of map, if you can win the battle, I will pull out my eyes.” Li Guolou really couldn’t see it. Going down, an old map drawn by Emperor Qianlong for hundreds of years, Weng Tonghe kept it as a confidential document.The words of cursing blurted out, and there was a kind of determination to be a shopkeeper. Li Guolou couldn't talk to Weng Tonghe. This kind of person who thinks he knows astronomy and geography is the real version of "Zhao Kuo" of the Qing Dynasty. .

Weng Tonghe suppressed the anger in his heart, and did not reprimand Li Guolou, he wanted Li Guolou to contribute money and efforts.Relying solely on the funds allocated by the imperial court is anticlimactic, and the matter is half done.It was rare to ask in a tone of asking for advice: "Guolou, what do you think should be done?"

Li Guolou hastily clasped his hands together and said, "Principal Weng, the students regard you as their own teacher, and only you dare to lose your temper. Please don't count villains. Stomach. Hey, who told the principal to be so easy-going, which made me accidentally expose the catchphrase when I was a headhunter."

Weng Tonghe said bluntly: "Guolou, don't make excuses, let your fart go, I'm listening."

Li Guolou rolled up his sleeves and sighed: "Principal Weng, I'm still here. Originally, Prince Gong planned to send overseas students to work, and later let those who returned from studying abroad redraw the map of the Qing Dynasty, but it can't quench their thirst. This time When I went to Tianjin, I first recruited some foreign teachers, and asked them to teach the students in our country how to survey and draw accurate maps in the new fashion school. We can draw a brand new map by ourselves in a few months. I think it will take a year and a half for the map of Zhili area to be redrawn. By then, Principal Weng, you can really talk about it on paper. Now you know that a mountain has How high is it? A few circles represent a mountain, isn’t it a joke for foreign devils?”

"Draw it if you say so!" Weng Tonghe robbed Li Guolou of saying that drawing a national map is a major matter that needs to be approved by the court, and if you do it yourself, you will be beheaded.

Li Guolou already knew Weng Tonghe's temperament, so he smiled and said, "With Principal Weng's signboard, this trivial matter can't be done. The students seem to be talking about it."

For a moment, Weng Tong and Shen Ning felt that what Li Guolou said could be done first. It would take at least a few months to train talents, and then it would take a long time to implement it. Surveying the map was very difficult. A thankless job.But no matter how hard and tiring it is, someone has to do it. No one has ever submitted a memorial to recompile the territory map of the Qing Empire for such a lucrative job.Only he self-denials, and dares to be the first in the world.
