late Qing Dynasty arrest

Li Hongzhang looked at the students and school officials standing upright, and said in a loud voice: "Today's tactics class is very well explained, and the analysis is also very thorough. If the army wants to keep up with the times, it must have the spirit of seeking truth. You can't think that Lao Tzu is the best in the world. If you don't study foreign war forms, you will copy ancient military books. This will be regarded as a joke by others. You can apply what you have learned, use your weapons well, drill well, and think well. Sweat, less bloodshed during war. I hope that when I come next time, you will not only give me a refreshing feeling in the living room. You will also show me actual combat drills in the martial arts arena. The guns are accurate and the guns are accurate The shooting is accurate, the charge organization can afford the formation, and it can be deduced on the sand table, can you do it?"

"Yes!" The school officials and students still stood upright, and their determined eyes told Li Hongzhang that they were trustworthy soldiers.

"Well... I believe you can do it, stand at attention for half an hour." Li Hongzhang stopped in front of everyone for a while, as if to remember their faces, and then put his hand behind his back left the classroom.

The master Xu Qian pondered for a moment, and walked behind Li Hongzhang. He heard Li Hongzhang muttering to himself: "It is because of one defeat after another, and the defeat never stops. I don't know where the defeat is. I blame gods and ghosts all day long, and go against my ancestors. Forget about the ancestors, and then like the new and dislike the old. First, I complained about the guns, then about the technology, then about the system, and finally found out that it was because of the culture. In fact, everything works, but people can’t do it. People can do it, and it lasts forever. When it doesn’t work, it’s called Qishu.”

Xu Qian stepped up to keep up, and said in a low voice, "Master Fu Xiang, there are many people talking, and I was overheard."

"Where did Li Guolou get the military information?" Li Hongzhang was a little puzzled, and asked a question.

Xu Qian thought for a while and said, "My lord, Mr. Fu, according to my guess, he still relies on buying foreign devils. Of course, there are also many soldiers who have taken refuge in Li Guolou, and the bookworm Weng Tonghe will also give him information. Tell the truth about the Battle of Baliqiao directly. , will you poke the basket?"

"Just to say it, it's best to go to the empress dowagers of the two palaces. Anyway, this is under the jurisdiction of Principal Weng, and I don't have to shoulder the burden." Li Hongzhang stretched out his hand for a pipe while speaking.

"Master Fu Xiang, your adjutant Goshha is also standing at attention, and I am too embarrassed to let them out." Xu Qian had no personal guards behind him, and followed Li Hongzhang alone.

"Oh...it's okay, I still have one in my room. Mr. Xu, go ask Liu Jie to prepare the dinner, and the mouth has faded out like a bird." Li Hongzhang was addicted to cigarettes, opened his mouth and breathed out, tears streaming out coming.

Xu Qian quickly added another question: "Master Fu Xiang, do you want to invite Li Guolou and those school officials?"

"Of course, this is his place." Li Hongzhang said meaningfully, and went back to the yard to rest for a while.

Xu Qian turned around and walked towards the classroom, looking in a hurry.I envy Li Guolou's Hongyun's headshot. He has just been punished, and he turned his back so quickly. He even said that he would not help his relatives. The benefits still fell into the hands of the Li family.

Xu Qian came to the door of the classroom, called Liu Jie out, and asked the dinner to be simple, not out of grandeur.Although good wine and good food are served, they should not be extravagant.

How can Liu Jie not understand such high-sounding words, he is an old bureaucrat.Boasting that Haikou promises to be perfect, the birds and beasts are game caught by the school officials, and the good wine is poured into a big vat, which is old jar wine.

"Well, Liu Qian's job is done well. It took only two months to build a new martial arts hall. It can be said that he has worked hard. Mr. Fu Xiang praised you, and the promotion is just around the corner." Xu Qian said meaningfully. Pushing hands, advance and retreat freely.

Liu Jie raised his eyebrows with joy, and asked, "Master Xu, is it a civil servant or a military officer that my brother is asking you for advice?"

"Sixth-rank civil servants are in their posts, and they are allowed to go to the localities." Xu Qian replied firmly, it depends on whether Liu Jie is interested?

"Oh, that's great. Mr. Xu is very talented and knowledgeable, and the next official will come to ask you for knowledge at night, and talk with you at night by candlelight." Liu Jie whispered that friends in official circles are made secretly.

"Well... I'll take a look for you and see where there are vacancies. Time flies, and there is a big difference between fast and slow?" Xu Qian reminded Liu Jie not to be petty.

"The officials understand the situation and will make proper arrangements." Liu Jiele turned upside down. He was the chief culprit in the Tianjin teaching case. The other seventeen officials of the Tianjin government were dismissed and investigated, and sent to the barren land to work in agriculture.But he was promoted and made a fortune, ushering in a turning point in his life.

"Well, it's good to know. There will be good news before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year." Xu Qian watched Liu Jie leave cheerfully, feeling a little disappointed. missing it.Now I can only make a little money and make a few tooth sacrifices.

After standing for half an hour, Liu Mingchuan exercised his muscles and bones, and sat on the back chair with a big horse, showing the majesty of the highest officer. First, he fetched the handouts taught by Cheng Kun, and roughly read the thick handouts.Most of the handouts are examples of foreign wars. The examples of domestic wars are mostly the battles that the Qing army failed, and the few battles that were won.Quite dissatisfied, he said angrily: "Master Xuezheng, did you make up this teaching? What is your intention!"

Li Guolou said with a smile: "Grand Liu, I edited it. The tactics class in Xinwutang is targeted and based on modern warfare. If I still write about the mighty cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, the students' tactical thinking will go back to 100 years ago. In the past, what's the point of mentioning the glory of the past. Everything is based on actual combat and winning a modern war is worth showing off."

"What about the many battles that the Qing army fought against the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom and the Nian Army?" Liu Mingchuan continued to ask insistently.

"Hey!" Li Guolou swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Grand Liu, didn't you come here? You will compile a book in the future, the history of the development of the Huai Army created by Mr. Fu Xiang. I am in Taoyuan, how can I know?" World affairs."

"Well! I started writing a long time ago. It's much more real than what you wrote. What you write is full of nonsense. Napoleon's war has nothing to do with us." Liu Mingchuan took a thick handout as a fan, waved it in his hand, and would be ready at any time Get rid of the pie.He held it in his hand and didn't throw it away, which already gave Li Guolou a lot of face.

Li Guolou suppressed his anger, and said dryly: "Grand Liu, your thinking is unacceptable. The so-called know yourself and the enemy and you can win a hundred battles. Why did the Qing army be defeated when they saw foreigners? They didn't even have the courage to raise their guns. They just regarded foreigners as heavenly soldiers." The heavenly generals. Or else, treat yourself like a god, regardless of the mountains of swords and fires in front of you, charge forward with all your strength, lose your breath, and can't even hold your ground. Get a book of martial arts and you can win battles Is it? Actual combat is the criterion for testing the army. What is the measure of this army? It is to see whether the daily training of this army has reached the level of actual combat. The combat methods of 100 years ago are not advisable. Learning from the advanced party is considered a The enemy must learn from it, and those with a rigid mind are only worthy of being cannon fodder."

"You!" Liu Mingchuan stood up angrily, pointed at Li Guolou's forehead and poked it twice, and said angrily: "Li Guolou, don't worship foreigners, be self-righteous, treat foreigners as godfathers, people like you I can only pick soft persimmons. As a civilian who was born and will die in this country and loves this country deeply, I know better where the suffering of the people is and why. I also know what it should be Improve and work hard in what areas can truly make the people rich and the country strong. The sky can learn from the sincerity. The soldiers I have trained are all heroes, and they dare to go to the mountains and seas. I'll read the book first, find out the loopholes in your tactical thinking, and refute your fallacies tomorrow, let's discuss the pros and cons tomorrow, and see who is better in the martial arts arena later."

Li Guolou habitually hid back, took two steps back, his face was unhappy, but he still didn't wave his fist, with a stiff expression, he squeezed out a smile, and said: "Liu Gong, originally you have drifted away from the world, It's not what the heart likes. When you return to the countryside, everything is like a passing cloud. This is the meaning of the past with the wind, and then it must be the sound of the zither, caressing in the sky, and the past is blown away with the wind. But you are troubled by everything , came back out of the rivers and lakes, inspired for the country and the people, because of abandoning outdated old concepts. The winner is worthy of being a superior person, writing legendary history. This principle has been around since ancient times. When you see foreigners, you will naturally bend down Straight spine. Now is not the time for you to look down on foreigners, but for you to be looked down upon by foreigners."

Liu Mingchuan was so angry that he had nothing to say, he was out of breath, and murmured, "Li Guolou, you are too arrogant and outrageous."

Li Guolou proudly said: "Grand Liu, none of your Goshhas are my opponents. As for the theoretical level, I'm a new science explorer, and I can't find anyone who is better than me in the whole Xinwu hall. So I He has the capital of arrogance and the level of being a military theorist. He wants to find loopholes in the manual I wrote... Hahahaha!" After speaking, Li Guolou turned and left the classroom, making Liu Mingchuan so angry that he sat slumped back chair.

No one in the classroom or those standing at the door dared to speak. Li Guolou's perverse and domineering arrogance has made people speechless. The admirers of Xinwu Hall regard him as a military leader.

"Master Xuezheng, please teach us a lesson." Numerous Xinwutang students surrounded Li Guolou, shouting loudly, not letting him go.Surrounded by human walls, the surrounding area is blocked by wind and rain, and water cannot escape.

Li Guolou was originally in a bad mood, but surrounded by hundreds of students, he felt helpless.Enthusiastic students are not afraid of him, but look at him reverently, hoping to get guidance from him.

"Okay! Students, I'll just talk for a while, but let me make it easier for you first, can you drink some water?" Li Guolou couldn't walk out, his mood began to improve, and he agreed to the students' request.

"Hahahaha!" Shocking laughter broke out on the playground, and the students finally moved out of the way for Li Guolou to pee.

Liu Mingchuan saw that only he and his five lieutenants Geshha were left in the classroom, and everyone else ran to the playground to listen to Li Guolou's speech.My heart is full of loss, and there is a lot of regret. The country is broken, and how much change does the declining Qing Dynasty need to make?

Liu Mingchuan raised his red eyes and said angrily, "Why are you looking at me? Let's go! Let's listen to the speech of the fake foreign devils together. Only by applying what we have learned can we defeat the enemy. There is nothing to be ashamed of." While speaking, Liu Mingchuan walked towards the playground. He went to listen to Li Guolou's speech, but he just didn't believe in this evil, what's so great about Li Guolou!Just a bombastic nerd.

"A war depends first on morale, and morale is the soul of an army. It doesn't matter if an army's weapons are a little behind, it doesn't matter if it is a little short of food, and it doesn't matter even if it loses a few times. There is no victorious army in the world, and the British There have been many defeats, but Britain is known as the empire on which the sun never sets, which means that the sun always shines on the top of the British Empire. Their country spans the entire world, and the British flag is always flying in the sky. The British are good at summing up failed battles , the ultimate balance of victory is often the British. So it is not terrible to lose a battle. Everyone has to learn the experience of fighting in the battle, but a person with ambition can realize his shame and be brave. He has been defeated many times It doesn't matter, don't be defeated, don't be defeated and make the battle irreversible. Marshal Zeng once had a famous saying: "Repeated defeats and repeated battles." As long as you are good at summing up experience and lessons, entangle the enemy like a piece of brown sugar. Don't let the enemy rest, don't let the enemy sleep, support the crisis with perseverance, win a chance to breathe, wait for the opportunity to bite back, and finally win the key Such a commander is an excellent officer (warm applause rang out). The helmsman who can only steer the boat with the wind is not qualified. When testing a person's will and character, he is against the wind Time. So don’t be intimidated by temporary difficulties, saying that the soldiers are not good, the weapons are not good, the supplies can’t keep up, the officers are not good, the cannons are not good, and the health is not good, and you need money to be willing to work hard. I’m surprised Yes, desperation is inversely proportional to money. When our soldiers are desperately killing the enemy, why do we need money? We have dedicated our most precious lives to the motherland, so why do we need things outside our body (the applause does not stop, the students burst into tears) Soldier ruffians don’t like anything and don’t have confidence, so what sense of honor does a soldier have? It’s better to go home and grow sweet potatoes.” Li Guolou put one hand on his hip, and waved the other hand in the air. Only the appearance of my respect.

"Hahahaha!" There was one burst of laughter on the playground, continuous applause, and countless pairs of adoring eyes looked at Li Guolou.

"The quality of will is the key to the victory or defeat of an army. An army with a military spirit will bravely break through the dark dawn and welcome the dawn of victory." Li Guolou said firmly, watching the sunset with piercing eyes.Fallen in the Qing Empire, as he said, there is still hope in the world, but he gave a different answer in his heart.
