late Qing Dynasty arrest

An Jie, Yang Dawazi, He Mingtang, Mu San and others led more than 400 people to surrender. This credit and the credit of more than 2000 ears were shared by Li Ziying and the two battalions guarding Gao Liansheng of the Chu Army. Gao Liansheng led the cavalry to rescue the starry night , it is impossible to make a trip in vain.

Li Guolou and Gao Liansheng each posted a booklet to show their merits, and they expressed the same statement. The soldiers are the most brotherly.

Xun Xi, Fan Ye, Hongdu, Battelle, Cheng Kun and others also mingled with Gao Liansheng's battalion officers and sentry officers.

In addition to the second battalion of cavalry led by Gao Liansheng during the rescue, he also had four battalions of infantry, so the officers also introduced each other at the banquet.

Among them, Cheng Kun was a little special at the banquet, and he was awkward. He saw a discordant scene.He was originally an errand in the Ministry of Punishment, and he had been in the arena for a long time. He had followed Li Guolou for so long, so he had his own way of judging people.He found that one of Gao Liansheng's battalion officers and four of his sentry officers made a toast to each other, which was very fancy, and others didn't take it seriously at a glance.

And he saw at a glance that it was a unique move of the Jianghu sect, and thought to himself: the officers of a battalion are all members of the Gelaohui. This kind of anti-Qing and Ming-ming gang has already invaded the Qing army. The roots of the Sichuan army are rotten. Lost.

Now that he found the disharmonious scene, Cheng Kun found an excuse to leave and report to Li Guolou. Li Guolou was drinking in another cave, and everyone was separated by a wall.

When soldiers fight, military discipline is very strict. Officers usually share weal and woe with soldiers, and they will indulge once only when they win a battle.There are also important people who come to the front line, so that they can have an excuse to eat and drink.So Xu Zhanbiao's command post became a sea of ​​joy tonight. Li Guolou's arrival brought so many cannons and firearms, which gave them a reason to treat guests and drink.

Now that spring has not yet begun, the land in the Northwest has not thawed, and the roads are difficult to walk. The Qing army is accumulating strength and preparing to launch an offensive in the spring.So now there will be no big battles, Xu Zhanbiao rarely drinks a few more drinks, and several officers under his command have become unrestrained, bluffing without any scruples.

Xu Zhanbiao loudly said to Li Guolou who was sitting next to him: "Guolou, to tell you the truth, you can't help but fight back. They don't have enough weapons and ammunition, and they don't have their own arsenal. They rely on war to support war. What about us? With the support of a huge country, we elite soldiers are all people who have fought against the long-haired people. As long as we guard the traffic arteries, block the rebels, prevent them from farming, and prevent them from plundering, it will not be long before They will mess themselves up. Dawazi Yang is smarter than Dong Fuxiang, if he doesn’t do this, when Huizi surrenders, they will be the first in this group to be betrayed by Huizi, and they will all be executed in a hurry.”

After Li Guolou raised his glass to toast, he said: "Deputy Marshal Xu is very tolerant. An Jie and Dawa Yang are also useful. They can be used as a positive teaching material to break the enemy's morale. I won't say much. Anyway, they will all be soldiers of the deputy commander in the future, give them a chance to change their ways, and they will see people's hearts after a long time. Hahahaha!"

Gao Liansheng raised his voice: "Deputy Marshal Xu, I think Mrs. Yang is okay, let me take his battalion, if they don't starve to death, I will let them take the blame and meritorious deeds."

There are a lot of taboos about this kind of thing, and you have to listen to the arrangement of the court. Xu Zhanbiao just said smoothly: "Okay, let's deal with it like this for the time being, let An Jie and Yang Dawazi settle down first. Take care of the high guard, and clean up the military discipline first. Before that, Dawazi Yang's soldiers are not allowed to leave the barracks."

"Decree!" Gao Liansheng was very happy. With his favor, he added two battalions of troops, and he was a death-defying member of the two battalions.In the future, he can also be promoted, and it will not be a problem to become a leader.

Guo Baochang was the most indignant. He was originally in the middle of the table, although his status was the lowest, but he was accompanied by Gao Liansheng.Unexpectedly, Gao Liansheng led two battalions of cavalry out of the city, not to mention his outstanding military exploits, and immediately won two battalions of cavalry. (In the military system of the Chu Army, about 250 cavalry are considered a battalion.)

Is it tolerable or unbearable!Guo Baochang was originally a cannonball, and he went up against the case, angrily said: "Deputy Commander Xu, this is not fair, the next task of pulling out the fortress must be entrusted to me. Our Anhui army did not come to Dong Zhiyuan to blow the northwest wind."

"Deputy Marshal Xu, you just agreed to hand it over to us, and the military order cannot be changed." Peng Dingyue, the chieftain of the native soldiers, and Mo Baoguo, the chieftain of the pilgrims, also stood up angrily. To serve means to be the first to fight. Minority fighters such as native soldiers and gu soldiers are not afraid of death.Moreover, they compete with each other, and everyone will earn the title of the world's number one warrior.

Xu Zhanbiao was very happy to see his subordinates scrambling to go to the battlefield. With such a good general, Dong Zhiyuan was at his fingertips. He waved his hand and said, "Okay! Then add another fortress. Before the spring, we will first capture three fortresses and fight to the end." The rebels are slaughtered, this is the end of stubborn resistance!"

"Yes!" Guo Baochang shouted happily, and raised his glass to toast Li Guolou. He wanted to see how powerful the Krupp cannon was.With only more than 200 casualties in Li Ziying, he was able to wipe out more than 2000 cavalry. This ten-fold gap is impossible for any Chu army.

If he hadn't been on the front line, he would never have believed it, but now that Guo Baochang knew that this was the truth, he still showed a little respect for Li Guolou, the highest officer of Li Ziying.

Only when he was actually on the battlefield did he know the horror of the military order falling like a mountain. With a word from the deputy commander Xu Zhanbiao, the fate of the Hui army in the three fortresses was decided. In addition to the Hui army and the Hui people in the fortresses, they have no future.Although Li Guolou kept toasting, talking and laughing without changing his face, he felt terrified in his heart, and he dared not raise objections to Xu Zhanbiao's military order, and he did not have the righteous spirit in Li Ziying.He is here to make meritorious service, what about other troops?It has nothing to do with him, his task is to blow up the strong walls of Huijun Fortress to pieces.War does not distinguish between soldiers and civilians, and rebellious nations will be punished.

Li Guolou was drinking, Cheng Kun came in and whispered something to him, Li Guolou's face darkened, and he turned his eyes to Gao Liansheng.People's hearts are separated from each other, and he is not the roundworm in Gao Liansheng's stomach. Although everyone calls him brother and brother, in his heart, everyone has his own selfishness, not to mention that everyone's territory is thousands of miles apart.

"I see. From now on, our Li Ziying will try not to join forces with Gao Ziying, and don't mention it to anyone." Li Guolou patted Cheng Kun on the shoulder, telling Cheng Kun to drink in peace. He didn't come to the front line to be a detective. , let alone to solve the case, there is no need to find it yourself to be unhappy.

Li Guolou's thought made him regret for the rest of his life. At this time, he was still ignorant and listened to the generals talking about the war with admiration.

After the banquet was over, on the way back to the camp, Li Guolou was still thinking about Cheng Kun's words in his mind, and felt that he had to be prepared, so he took Cheng Kun with him, and the two entered Yang Dawazi's barracks together.

Yang Dawazi, He Mingtang, Mu San and others had just returned to the barracks, and when they entered the barracks, Li Guolou followed.They also drank a little wine, but just returned to Daqing's arms, they still kept restraint, didn't drink too much, and were very sober.

Dawazi Yang was a little strange about Li Guolou's visit, why didn't he say it just now, some things are inconvenient to say outside, so he hurriedly invited Li Guolou into a pit yard, set up a sentry post, and then asked: "Master Li, what is the matter with you?" What's your order when it's late?"

Li Guolou drank too much wine, although he was sober, his feet were a little fluttering, and he couldn't stand firmly. He sat down on the kang and said, "Yang Dawazi, He Mingtang, Mu San, you are my take-in people, and you are also my guardians." Those who came down. You are all smart people, you know that the rebellion will not end well, and God has given you one last chance, I hope you will make good use of the little doctor's promotion path."

Yang Dawazi said: "Master Li, if you have something to say, I, Yang Da, am by no means an ungrateful person."

Li Guolou's slender eyes, squinting at people, were shining under the oil lamp. After looking around at the three of them, he said, "Okay, I'll trust you once. I know you are all members of the gang. Now, I will break away from the gang in the past, wash my identity, and stop meddling in Jianghu affairs. But I am afraid that you will not be able to resist the temptation, and once again set foot on the road of no return..."

Dawazi Yang was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Master Li, our brothers dare not turn against each other again. I can swear a poisonous oath and accept the test of three knives and six stabs."

Dawazi Yang, He Mingtang, and Mu San all knelt on the ground, and the three of them drew out their daggers, ready to stick a knife in their legs at any time.

Li Guolou slightly nodded and said: "Yang Dawazi, He Mingtang, and Mu three knives put away, I trust you for the time being, don't form cliques in the future, otherwise once the war is over, your good days will also be over. Gao Shou This time I also saved you. You must be loyal and responsible to Gao Liansheng. Be careful when you are with him in the future. Do you know how to do it?"

"Understood, thank you Lord Li for telling us in advance." Dawazi Yang nodded gratefully, a smart person knows everything, and he knows how to get promoted and get rich in the future.

Cheng Kun quickly followed Li Guolou, and said in a low voice, "Master Li, is this useful?"

Li Guolou looked at the dark night sky, and sighed: "Be prepared, and bury one more nail. Dawa Yang cut off Ha Lianhu's head, just because he was sincere, but there will always be someone who will go out of the same school as his teacher to confuse him. Woah!" Li Fan is unstoppable."

"Hey, Chuanmozi is a small person, why do he have so many bad intentions. The shorty has a lot of stomach bumps, that's right." Cheng Kun followed suit with a smile on his face, following a thoughtful catcher, and many loopholes could be plugged in advance .

"The inside of Sichuan Mouse is still much better, but a rat droppings ruined a pot of porridge. It's the same everywhere. We need to bury a few more nails in our Li Ziying. First select some people from the long husband, this matter is up to you Superintendent." Li Guolou thought of the group of lawless elders in Li Ziying, people who talked strangely, and there were always people who were not peaceful.He will be calculated by people with ulterior motives, just like the simple Ma Dequan, who is bewitched to join the anti-Qing organization.If the Han people unite to rebel, it will be a hundred times more destructive than the rebellion of ethnic minorities. People will be devastated, and a country will suffer.

"Yes! I hope to stay here a little longer and witness the return of the Northwest to the embrace of the motherland." Cheng Kun accepted the order coldly. Who told him that he was born in the Ministry of Criminal Justice and was an excellent policeman.But he still hopes to make meritorious deeds with the righteous way, and commanding thousands of troops is the life he wants.

In Dawazi Yang's pit yard, He Mingtang scratched his head and asked, "Dayang Yang, Master Li only said half a sentence just now, what exactly do you mean?"

"He Er, don't use your head to think, I tell you to do it, start training tomorrow, take care of your soldiers." Yang Dawazi squinted, and didn't talk to Lengtou Qingduo.

Mu San sighed: "Yang Da, fortunately we were able to survive following Liu Mingchuan back then. If we had followed Li Guolou, we would have been silenced long ago."

Mrs. Yang thought about Li Guolou's words and deeds, nodded and said: "Yes, a group of supervisors are running around in the camp, doing ideological work for the soldiers, and saying that the national interest is above all else, how can they have the status of a big brother?" How can we talk nonsense, but fortunately we have escaped from the sea of ​​suffering. Rebellion turns out to be such a hard job, and I will not do it if I am killed."

Mu San winked and said with a playful smile, "Yang Da, that's not necessarily true. Didn't you understand Li Guolou's words?"

"Traitors! People who are worse than us, so they sit in high positions. This kind of people should be kept at a respectful distance. We only deserve to carry shoes for traitors." Dawazi Yang smiled strangely. The good brother slept on a kang, and even women shared it.

Dawazi Yang, He Mingtang, and Mu San missed Dong Zhiyuan's little ones, and they talked about how cute the children were. They wondered if they would be thrown into the fire by the fifteenth handsome Ha Lianjin.But as long as there are a group of brothers, there will be wives and children. They look forward to fighting together, and they can have all the fruits of victory, and they can vent their hatred on the enemy.
