late Qing Dynasty arrest

? Li Guolou held a hairpin flower and squinted at Fei Lingxue. The hairpin flower was a hidden weapon of exquisite craftsmanship. When the petals were pressed, three thin needles popped out from the spring and shot towards the window pane ten feet away, emitting a bright blue light.

"Hmph." Li Guolou snorted coldly, sitting on the grand teacher's chair with a big horse, and didn't even let Fei Lingxue and Saber Cloud sit, let alone watch tea.

Today is different from the past, Fei Lingxue hurriedly cupped her fists to salute, and said with a cheerful smile: "Master Li, please don't mind, I'm a trespasser, and I wear accessories for self-defense. My lord does not remember Feihu's fault!"

Li Guolou picked up his teacup and said slowly: "Feihu, what does this official say about you? Since you claim to be a man in the Jianghu, you should understand the rules of the Jianghu. I have stopped asking about Jianghu affairs. You can see for yourself." Do you have any brothers in the rivers and lakes!"

Fei Lingxue glanced at the two Geshhas who were standing still beside her, and sneered secretly. The bigger the official hat, the less courageous she is, and she needs someone to protect her even when she meets guests.

Saber Yun was impatient, interjected: "Master Li, we also have no choice, we can't get along with the Monkey King, that skinny monkey is only willing to find jobs for thirty or so of our brothers, but we will drag our family and take care of us, so early There are more than 200 people, this is how we live, this kid is really outrageous, I wish I could beat him to death with a brick, and let him know what liver tremor is!"

Li Guolou sneered and said: "The Jianghu also bullies the weak and fears the hard. Like you, you raise so many good horses, and people eat and chew on them, and you are not welcome to go anywhere. Otherwise, you should go back to your old business and fight with the officers and soldiers. , Whose idea is difficult, whoever decides!"

People are used to being pampered and pampered, so how can they really use swords and guns? Fei Lingxue's hundreds of horse thieves have long been quarreling. It's seeking money, not rebellion, risking their lives to grab territory, and being accused of rebellion by the government, wouldn't that implicate their family members? After negotiating with the monkey king Sunyue to no avail, Fei Lingxue and Dao Xiyun went directly to Li, the leader behind the scenes. In Guolou's friendship, there was still a way to scare Li Guolou, but Fei Lingxue's hidden murder weapon was seized by Li Guolou, and he was absolutely passive on the scene.

"Lord Li, we won't use swords and guns in the capital area unless it is absolutely necessary, but you can't bully people too much. The rabbit will bite if it is anxious." Fei Lingxue gritted her silver teeth and stared at Li Guolou. The northern region freely collects protection fees. Unexpectedly, the militia in the capital will not even give them this way of life. Of course, they have already checked and found out who is behind the militia.

Li Guolou glanced at Fei Lingxue and Saber Cloud. These two men were disguised as horse thieves, but they were actually remnants of the Tiandihui. Southern reactionaries lurked into the Gyeonggi area, and even came to seek friendship with him, trying to gain a firm foothold in the Gyeonggi area. Waiting to become stronger and bigger, when the sky changes, this group of people is like a sharp knife stuck in Daqing's waist, pulling up the flag to rebel and becoming the second Nian army. Li Guolou is like a light on his back, carrying too many mountains on his body, The insatiable princes and nobles, the scheming Jianghu sects, and even the gangsters who opposed the Qing Dynasty could not kill them all.

"Hehehe, sit down, both of you, since you two are still my friends, let's drink a cup of tea. There is always a way. The so-called put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. If you are willing to keep yourselves and earn money for your retirement, I can give you some advice. You guys, if you still stick to your purpose and make a bright future, you will fight twice with this official, and you will still promote the so-called gang rules after you get the benefits. This official is doing something dark, and the innate way is a precedent. , Feihu, Saber Cloud, your old officials have already known about it, so please go back and discuss it with your brothers, and come back to talk with me after you think it through!"

After Li Guolou finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank it down. Ma De understood it wholeheartedly and yelled: "See off!"

"You, Li Guolou, is this how you treat guests?" Fei Lingxue stood up against the table, staring angrily at the front.

Li Guolou put down his teacup and said: "The world is actually darker than the government. If you are allowed to stand out, millions or tens of millions of people will not stop. So I will explain things clearly now to save future Raising tigers is a threat, I am an official of the imperial court, and I have to bear the great trust of the emperor. There are no so-called friends in the world, only slaves who obey orders. The Green Gang is a model for you to learn from. The Xiantian way is another way. The region does not welcome you, and the Qing Empire will not have a place for you in the future!"

As soon as the words fell, Saber Cloud turned over and knelt down with a plop, cupped his fists and said: "Master Li, the villain has a group of people who are willing to surrender!"

"You, a traitor." Fei Lingxue didn't expect Dao Sheath Yun to betray her, she was so angry that she stared at her, and ran out. Being in a bad situation, wanting to seek refuge in the government, recognizing people as dishonest, and treating such wolf-hearted people as friends, Fei Lingxue was full of anger. She wanted to see how many brothers would betray her. Ahead of the darkness, there was a light The lanterns are like big mouths that cannibalize people. The cannibalistic society must be overthrown, and the earth shrouded in darkness will surely rise to sunrise.

Li Guolou lifted the scruffy bearded scabbard cloud with a smile, nodded in approval and said: "Well, those who know the current affairs are outstanding, scabbard cloud, you have a bright future in the future, and I have many things that I will entrust to you , Wealth and glory are rewarded to those who know the current affairs, so that they can do it for themselves!"

"Thank you, my lord." Saber Yun's eyes were full of tears. The turning point in life is only in an instant. He has had enough of the days of wind, food, dew, and no fixed place. Heroes are recruited, and they need to find a big backer , he has a rough face and a meticulous mind, he has already planned today's action, betraying the "big leader" Fei Lingxue is nothing, if the lord gives an order, he will directly twist Fei Lingxue's head off.

There are more than [-] brothers under Dao Xie Yun, and Fei Lingxue belongs to a group who can fight and fight hard. Even they are unwilling to live a life of licking blood, which shows that there are not many promising men among horse thieves. Brothers believe that the anti-Qing and Ming-ming affairs can be accomplished. Now that Li Hongzhang controls the Zhili area, [-] Huai troops have been enriched in the nine towns. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the living space for horse thieves has become smaller. If they don’t make a choice, they will He will be wiped out by the officers and soldiers. The scabbard cloud is a horse thief. He has long been in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han. Outside, he specialized in finding a way out for the underworld brothers, and was praised by the people of the rivers and lakes as a god arrest. That's why Saber Cloud surrendered voluntarily and bought a certificate of surrender.

"My lord, my subordinates don't have any good things to honor, so I specially brought two good horses this time." In Dao Shea Yun's family, horses belong to the most.

"Oh." Li Guolou raised his eyebrows, and said pleasantly: "Okay, let's go and have a look. Those who know me are like scabbards. I am preparing the equipment for a battalion of cavalry. For your cleverness, let me give you some advice." You go and train 280 army horses for me once, you want medium Mongolian war horses, and you want all castrated male horses, you have a gentle temper, understand!"

It is best to use a castrated stallion for military horses. They have a good temper, obey orders, and will not kick. For military training, of course, start with the regular way.

"Zha's subordinates must do their errands well, and the matter of training war horses is on the villain." Saber Yun was overjoyed, wealth and glory arrived in a blink of an eye, this is the beginning, following Li Guolou's saddle and horse, good errands to earn food and clothing Don't worry.

The governor of Shuangqiao Town, Wang Xiaofei, and President Qian Yan Weizhong happened to come to have dinner together, so they accompanied Li Guolou to visit the military facilities in the station and watch the dinner eaten by the soldiers. The facilities and equipment in the posthouse are first-class.

There is a special drinking pool in the post house. The post house in Shuangqiao Town belongs to the hub between Tianjin and the capital. There are more than [-] horses raised there. The horses are fat and strong, and they are known for their endurance and speed. The conventional military equipment of the Qing Dynasty, who would dare to abandon it if the capital wanted to attack it? On the road of modernization, there is no need for restructuring.

Li Guolou went around with his hands behind his back, and repeatedly praised the governor Wang Xiaofei. Mr. Qian is strict, loyal and capable. When he came to the horse gallery, he looked at the fat and strong horses. Li Guolou was very happy and nodded: "Mr. Yan Qian, become smarter." Well, you know how to spend your money, this is the right way, you have to be strong in making money and in business, if it continues to be like last time, I will be held accountable!"

President Qian Yan Weizhong said in a rough voice: "Lord Li, the last time I was dismissed as an official, I almost lost Jingzhou carelessly. I have already reflected on it deeply. There are many ways to make money, and you have to be good at appearance, so that the weather will be smooth!"

"Okay, okay, Mr. Yan Qian, I appreciate your awareness. The weapons and equipment are updated. Your battalion is the first batch, all of which are made of German long guns and uniforms. 800 people, right!"

Yan Weizhong almost choked. It was written in the military register that there were 1212 people. Li Guolou directly cut off one-third of the number for him, but it was hard to say, "Sir, you are wrong." Said: "Master Li is right, there is still a fraction, 80 people, exactly 880 people, hehe!"

"Well, write it down." Li Guolou asked the adjutant Ghosh Hamad who accompanied him to write it all down in the notebook. Xinwutang will train officers of the army in the Gyeonggi area and change weapons and equipment. He will start these things Manager, of course he doesn't know how to look at the roster, to leave room for the army, and he can't make trouble with these soldiers and ruffians, these bastards, if they are a little soft, they will immediately climb on top of your head.

Li Guolou knew that everything he saw here was fake. It was a model show for the officers who came and went. There were too many false things in the army. Even if it is elite, there are at most 2000 people stationed in a camp, and the troops that a general can have in his hands will not exceed half, and the rest are either empty or used for business. In fact, there is not much interest in the personnel system. It is just superficial to make the emperor happy. The employment of people who inherit the system makes the army lifeless.

"Mr. Yan Qian, the fort on the left side of Shuangqiao Town needs to be repaired, and all the cannons need to be replaced. The replaced cannons will be verified by the Ministry of War and sent back to be destroyed. Do you understand?" Li Guolou slanted Take a look and stop talking.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for telling me." Yan Weizhong bowed and saluted with a respectful look. If there is one missing cannon in the army, his head will be beheaded. Li Guolou told him in advance that he wanted him to make up for the missing cannons. In fact, it is the cannon that will be destroyed anyway. It doesn't matter if it is older or damaged.

Li Guolou glanced at Yan Weizhong. Officers like this are the elites of the Qing Dynasty. They guard the key points of the capital and defend the capital. If there is a war with the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the army here will be cannon fodder. The cannon with the longest range was sold to the Qing Empire. The Qing army hiding in the fortifications was only bombed. This battle was already lost. The defenders here died gloriously for the Qing Empire. Inevitably.

Jingshi is not suitable to be the capital of the country, but the old statement he wrote, this opinion was rejected by the court, what to do, looking at the dark night sky, Li Guolou was a little confused and helpless, he had to stick to Tianjin and defend the Qing Dynasty There is only one road in the capital of China, Tianjin City must not be lost, to share
