late Qing Dynasty arrest

?On Gyeonggi Avenue in early August, six war horses were galloping. In the sultry weather, the horses breathed heavily. Ma Dequan drove a four-horse carriage in the middle of the road. There were only suitcases in the carriage, and no one was there. , Li Guolou was wearing the attire of a personal guard, and he was also riding on a horse with a bridle. No one could tell that there was a court official in this handsome man. It was more than 200 miles from the capital to Tianjin. In such hot weather, the road If you want to walk around and rest, you will not be able to make it to Tianjin in a day.

The birch trees on both sides of the road block some sunlight, but in the hot weather, people sitting on horses are like horses, sweating profusely. The crops on both sides of the road are not growing well, especially in areas without rivers. Li Guolou Looking up at the sky, the vicious sun is on the top of the head, the autumn grain harvest is inevitable, and the people are still living in dire straits.

In a row of big willow trees, there is a myriad of sceneries. In a shaded place, a group of passers-by in scantily clad clothes sat under the trees and rested feebly.

"Stop." Li Guolou took the reins of the horse and asked loudly, "Hey, brother, where did you come from!"

Looking at the military masters with live ammunition, the timid people immediately hid far away, only a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face said timidly: "Qingdao, we are all from Qingdao, where the traitors Ding Guinu was given to the Prussians, we didn’t want to be subjugated slaves, so we left our hometown and wanted to find a job in the capital!”

"Old man, what nonsense are you talking about? It was leased to the Prussians." Ma Dequan was furious, and was the first to scold the nonsense commoner.

"Ma Dequan, don't scare people." Li Guolou's face was flushed, and the common people didn't know that the person who betrayed the integrity of the country was "Li Guolou". The theory of the new era was also compiled into a volume and discussed in the Prime Minister's Office. Of course, he did not dare to write Li Guolou's name in the booklet, but only published it in the name of the Prime Minister's Office.

Li Guolou turned over and jumped off the horse, and several other guards immediately jumped off the horse, untied the horse's bridle, took out the iron bucket from the carriage, ran to the small river under the slope, and fetched water for the horses to drink.

Li Guolou looked at the number of people in this group, there were about a hundred people, and some of them were family members, so he couldn't help feeling compassionate. Anyway, he will not be exposed as a traitor for a while. Li Guolou took a basket of apples from the carriage, handed it to a little girl, and said kindly: "Little friend, each of you has an apple, eat it, it's free, this apple can be eaten by both humans and horses! "

Courageous children come to get apples, some children are greedy, hold one in each hand, and run away after bowing, some children dare not come to get apples, Li Guolou let them go, the poor He also likes to fight for his spirit, and he doesn't eat the food that comes from him. He has also seen a lot, and kindly treats it as a donkey's liver and lungs, and the things given to the poor are directly thrown on the ground by the poor.

The personal guards brought pantothenic acid apples to the war horses to eat, and each horse fed at least two apples. They also took crystal clear salt to feed the war horses, so that the common people who stared at them were jealous and hated. Ordinary people, to calculate the local population, is to calculate the amount of salt consumed in this place to calculate the actual population of the local area. Salt is sold by the government, and people who sell private salt have to be beheaded. Private salt dealers are not rampant in the north. The governance is quite effective, otherwise there would be no good life in Yandao.

Looking at these sallow and emaciated people, Li Guolou raised his voice and said, "Ma Dequan, give them a bag of salt!"

Ma Dequan muttered and chattered, a little reluctant. People were already scolding "Ding Guinu", and the next scolding was "Ghost Six" and "Fake Foreign Devil".

This time Li Guolou hit the hearts of these Qingdao people. Seeing that Li Guolou gave them salt, it was more practical than a few apples, and they all ran over to thank Li Guolou. Best, a hundred times better than the official difference, generous, talking about what he saw along the way, the basket next to Li Guolou, the apples were swept away.

Li Guolou asked: "Hey, since you came from Qingdao, how is the situation in Shandong now? Is Ding Baozhen your blue sky!"

"Anyway, the common people say that he is Qingtian, we can't see it, but I heard that the governor's office he built is very grand, the best building in Jinan Prefecture, hey..." The middle-aged man had something to say, so he didn't dare to say more.

Li Guolou found another topic and asked, "Hey, brother, isn't there a lot of idle land in Shandong, aren't you going to reclaim it?"

Another young man next to him sneered and said: "My lord, it's all the old calendar. Now we can't get in if we want to reclaim wasteland. The roads are blocked. The collusion between local tyrants and boxers is not a good bird, bah . " After speaking, the young man spit on the muddy floor, with nowhere to vent his depression.

Li Guolou smiled casually, and he walked in front again, and joined hands with the rich and rich landlord of Qilitun to make a fortune. In Shandong enclosure, walking in front of the poor, Li Guolou covered his mouth, pretended to cough, and said : "Well, this officer sees that you are all good people, why don't you join the boxer organization and introduce a job to you? If you go to the capital, go to Dengcao Hutong to find Wei Xiaoliu, and you will earn a month's income with food and lodging included. ····································································································································································· Seven hundred Wen." After speaking, Li Guolou stood up, patted the dead grass behind his buttocks, stood up and prepared to leave.

This time the pot exploded, but Li Guolou didn't escape. This group of patriotic Qingdao people surrounded Li Guolou and asked questions, fearing that Li Guolou would deceive them.

"My lord, are you kidding me?"

The guard Guohu said loudly: "Don't worry, this official is our master, the fake foreign devil Li Guolou you scolded just now, Mr. Li, you want to hold your breath, don't drag it down, and want to live a better life If you want to go to Tianjin, if you want to live a hard life, you can find a job yourself!"

Li Guolou was furious, and cursed: "Guohu, why are you hurting the master so much, let me go to the small station to do coolies!"

"Thank you, master." Guohu beamed with joy, turned over and knelt on the ground. He had long wanted to leave Li Guolou and become a military officer with a bright future.

Li Guolou didn't listen to the group of Qingdao people's discussion, put on the bridle, got on the bay red horse and went straight to Tianjin. Before leaving, he looked back at the figures of the Qingdao people. Okay, hey, with just one or two more silver, you will overthrow the people in Qingdao who claim to be patriotic. The patriotism of the Chinese people is such a virtue. No wonder when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded the Qing Dynasty, the common people rushed to lead the way for the invaders and deliver food. The people who were moved were only the old-fashioned British and the strict Prussians. The Han complex of the Chinese nation was completely destroyed by the Manchus. Qing is even more shameful.

Staying overnight at the posthouse in Shuangqiao Town, Li Guolou habitually cleaned his own weapons, first the long Prussian long gun, a rear-loading single-shot gun with a rotary locking action, this rifle was adopted by the Prussian army, and Named the Type 71 rifle, this is the first Mauser rifle in history, with an empty gun weighing 4.6 kg, a full gun length of 1293 mm, a barrel length of 801 mm, 4 rifling lines, right-hand rotation, and a muzzle velocity of 550mm at 440 m/s , the kinetic energy of the muzzle is 1975 j, the effective range is 270~1600 m, and the magazine capacity is 8 rds.

The rifle invented by the Mauser Brothers will be introduced to the Qing Dynasty, and the entire production line will be introduced. In order for military enterprises to grow and develop in the Qing Dynasty, it is cost-effective to rent it to the Prussian Qingdao as a military port. It will take at least 20 yuan to develop it by yourself. In [-], it would be a great thing to directly use doctrine. If the steel factory was completed, it would be able to make new cannons by itself, and the British devils would be driven out of the Qing Empire.

Li Guolou was favored by the Prussian mission and received the first batch of "aid" from the Prussians, which added to his ambition and made him even more ambitious. The steel factory was the source of the industrial revolution, and he had a lot of money in his hand. The most important thing is to build a modern steel factory. Like Li Hongzhang, he wants to buy a modern navy. He seems to be the fastest, but he is actually a fool. Warships in the industrial age flourished, and they were eliminated just as quickly.

This time, instead of cooperating with Li Hongzhang, he directly negotiated with the Prussians as a controlling shareholder, and built the steel plant far away, on the edge of the Datong River in Yanbian, Jilin, away from Li Hongzhang's control, and cleaned up the development of the virgin land "Eastern East". Three provinces", with his three-inch tongue, the Emperor Tongzhi and the empress dowagers of the two palaces would believe that he, a Manchu, would develop the virgin land of the three eastern provinces well.

When Li Guolou was cleaning the American-made Coulter revolver, the personal guards walked in and shouted: "Report, Master Li, there are people outside asking to see, claiming to be Flying Fox and Scabbard Cloud!"

Li Guolou was taken aback. Those horse thieves were so bold that they dared to come to their door. He had already given face to the female horse thieves Fei Lingxue, and instead of sending troops to kill them, he advised them to leave the Gyeonggi area. Maybe they came to seek revenge.

"Search the officer, and the women should also be searched, otherwise the flying fox will not be allowed to enter the post, and the officer will not see the assassin." Li Guolou tied the belt around his waist again, and put the revolver in the holster. He didn't believe it. , Flying knives are faster than bullets, of course he doesn't give assassins a chance, even if it's a woman, he won't give a female assassin any chance.

Fei Lingxue quarreled with several lieutenants Geshha at the gate of the posthouse. The two sides refused to give in to each other. Ma Dequan waved his hand and said, "Feihu, don't mention the past. Now my lord is very valuable. If you want to see him, you have to search him. You can do it if you don't want to." , please go back, just let the scabbard cloud go in, there is so much nonsense!"

"Li Guolou, you who pick your ass and pick your fingers are willing to buy pastries with sesame seeds. Who asked you to eat lard and rice?" Fei Lingxue neither wanted the man to search her body, but also He refused to leave, and still stayed at the gate of the post house to point fingers at Sang and scold Huai.

Guohu shook his head and said: "Woman, the so-called Houmen is as deep as the sea, Master Li can't hear you inside, it's useless if you scold us, we've been tired of scolding for a long time, even if you beat us to death, it's useless! "

Fei Lingxue was so angry that her eyes were staring at gold stars, but she came here to ask for money, not to fight, so she settled for the next best thing, and said angrily: "I'm stupid, don't you have any girls in your post? I’m not an assassin, why are Master Li so afraid!”

Guohu nodded and said: "Hey, that's right for a woman hero. I'll go in and find a woman. A body search is a must. Who told you that you're a woman hero!"

The posthouse is a facility with military protection functions. Walking on the path of seven turns and eight turns inside, there are tall walls on both sides. Fei Lingxue looked up at the tall walls, and there were many guard posts with guns. Li Guolou His status was precious, so many people were sent to protect him in a posthouse, Fei Lingxue showed a smirk on his face, picking flowers from flying leaves can kill people, she couldn't help touching the hairpin in her hair.

Behind him Ma Dequan said: "Feihu, give me the hairpin on your head, you have so many tricks!"

Fei Lingxue's face changed completely, she almost succeeded, but she never expected that the simple-looking "horse cake" was so weird and ruthless,
