late Qing Dynasty arrest

The sound of cannons faded away, long guns burst into flames, shouts shook the sky, and the torrent swarmed in. The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty marched forward without hesitation.

The dull dull sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the body, the cold eyes under the military helmet, and the heavy breathing...

There were chaotic screams and mournful howls, interspersed with the sound of grenade explosions...

Xu Zhanbiao was surrounded by generals Huang Ding, Gao Liansheng, Peng Dingyue, and Mo Baoguo. They all showed satisfaction and praised the artillerymen for their first contribution.The returning army could not support even one round of hand-to-hand combat. The Qing army is all elite soldiers and has undergone rigorous military drills.In the Hui army, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren went to the battlefield together, and there were even women. This war is destined to be a tragedy.

Li Guolou stood by, looking at the three fortresses that were in full swing. A just war is also full of evil. The rebels are torn apart by killing. War is not just a contest between two armies. It divides a country and allows them to live in harmony. The various ethnic groups in the country killed each other, causing civilians, women, and children to suffer.There is no morality to talk about on the battlefield. The so-called lofty ideals can only look at the overall situation, not the small details.

This war was a disaster for the Hui people. The Hui people did not examine and properly understand how big the gap is between a nation and a country?Still clinging to the glory of their ancestors, they want to build an Islamic empire.Hui people think that with the natural danger and the support of the people, they can resist to the end, but the fact is that a massacre is being staged in Dong Zhiyuan.People who refuse to submit, kill until they submit, not to mention that the Manchus are so cruel, and the Han people’s opening up of territories is also so bloody. This is how the territory of a great country came about.

There was originally only one battalion in Dong Fuxiang's return camp, because he was ruthless, vicious, and sinister enough, and dared to kill his fellow Muslims, dared to fight and fight, and rushed to the front.That's why it was expanded to three battalions by General Zuo Zongtang. A Muslim uprising against the tyranny of the Qing Dynasty eventually turned into a nation killing each other, and the strategy of using barbarians to control barbarians was staged again and again in the Northwest.The sad rebels, if they persist in their obsession, can only be reduced to ashes.

Xu Zhanbiao looked at Li Guolou who was silent beside him. This kind of literati likes to fight, which is rare in Qing Dynasty.The war is all about financial resources. Li Guolou has strong financial resources. Within a few days after he came to the front line, special supplies were brought in from all over the country, and they condolences to Li Ziying in the name of the local governor.Although there is some jealousy in my heart, there can be no barriers between people in the same trench. I hope that Li Guolou will not leave when he comes.

"Master Li, our Sichuan army is also going to build an artillery battalion. Please help me a lot. I don't want Hongyi cannons and Franji cannons." Xu Zhanbiao took out a pack of cigarettes and gave out a pack of cigarettes to everyone nearby. a cigarette.Tobacco cultivation is the strong point of the Sichuan people. The Sichuan army relied on the income from tobacco tax to build a strong army, including opium. Although the Sichuan army smuggled opium at this time, it had not yet become a big smoker with two guns.

"Deputy Marshal Xu, your word is an order, and the next officer obeys the order." Li Guolou was personable, maintaining the demeanor of a Confucian general, and became a different kind of general among a bunch of unkempt generals.The situation is developing in a direction he did not expect, and it is impossible for him to keep a low profile. How does the world evaluate him?

"Master Li is so loyal to serve the country, I can't help but be admired. Let's go! If you don't watch it, let's go to Li Ziying to drink celebration wine." As the deputy commander in charge of all walks of life, Xu Zhanbiao knows what will happen in the fort next. Huai, they are all Qing officials, how can they watch such a bloody scene?A copy of the celebration, counting the dead in the fortress as the number of enemies killed.

But as a commander, you have to be vicious and let the resisters lose their fighting spirit. The benevolence of a woman is not advisable.This has nothing to do with ethnic hatred, it is the inevitable result of the cruelty of war, all the teachers of justice have done this kind of thing, and whoever dares to speak out will climb the city wall.

"Please! Deputy Marshal Xu! Please, everyone! I happen to have good wine here." Li Guolou glanced at the blockhouses on the loess slope. He didn't have the courage to plead for the people, and the fate of offending the generals on the battlefield was very sad. No one will come to rescue Li Ziying, and there will be black guns behind him.

"Haha, it's time for me to serve the country loyally. Master Li, your flower bombs are very powerful in bombing loess walls. I don't know how powerful it is to bomb a fort made of stone?" Peng Dingyue, the chieftain of the local soldiers, spoke first. These minority fighters are conscripts. Dao Heart Cultivation Demon Biography.For the sake of the Qing emperor, he was loyal to the country, and he made a statement to the emperor and voluntarily came to fight.The native soldiers are soldiers without military pay. The commander Zuo Zongtang only cares about their food and clothing. The military are strong.

"Don't worry, Chieftain Peng, Chieftain Mo, no matter how strong the fortress is, I can smash the first line of defense on the enemy's wall." He got it, everyone has vanity, at this time Li Guolou became the most shining star.

"Hahahaha! Good! Let's set off tonight to save nights and dreams, Lijiabao, I'm coming!" Chieftain Mo Baoguo was afraid of returning to the army and surrendering, so he surrounded the fort first to prevent the news of Xiao Kongtong from leaking out.People of these ethnic minorities have no humanity, and the fortresses that were breached by them, the surviving captives became slaves.Slaves are pigs, and they have to drive a group of pigs back to their hometown.

The artillery officers in the other battalions surrounded a group of artillery officers in Li Ziying like stars, and they worked hard for three days and three nights. At this time, they wanted to drink and celebrate.The soldiers of Li Ziying came to the front line really exhausted. This time they made their first contribution, and they were able to stand in a safe place, making every artillery officer proud.

Li Guolou looked in the direction of Lijiabao, dusk was approaching, but the flames lit up the small Kongtong loess fort, and the shouts of killing gradually died down.The next thing is that Lijiabao became a place of death. Although Dong Zhiyuan's life was not caused by him, he only contributed to the early killing, but he could not change the fate of the Hui people.A nation has the mentality of burning jade and stone, refuses to surrender, and when it resists to the end, it can only use the thunderbolt method to send the resisters into the eighteen hells.

Li Guolou stared blankly at the sunset in the west, feeling infinitely sad. If he were the commander in chief, how would he treat these rebels?

Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, and Zuo Zongtang came from the same line, and they wiped out the rebels. There was no other way to go.Negotiations are an unrealistic joke, making Hui people think that the Qing Dynasty has become weak and deceitful, which will only speed up the pace of self-government.As for those Hui rebels who claim to be self-governing, it is even more ridiculous. It is just an expedient measure for the rebels. When the Hui army is united, it will become an independent country like the Zhe Deshaer country in Xinjiang. kingdom.At that time, the Qing Dynasty will never have a peaceful day, and a new kingdom will expand its territory, gouge out the flesh of the Qing Dynasty, and make a country fall apart.

The benevolence of a woman is unacceptable, Li Guolou flicked his sleeves, entered the military tent, and was drunk with wine today, leaving Xiao Kongtong, a Taoist holy place, behind him.

The tall and burly Xu Zhanbiao saw Li Guolou return to the banquet, stood up and immediately became radiant, covering everything around him, and everyone around him became his foil. Well done, why go away, you have to drink three glasses of wine as fine."

Li Guolou smiled wryly and said, "Deputy Commander Xu, I dare not disobey the order, but Chieftain Peng and Chieftain Mo will be unhappy, and the Li Ziying camp will be launched tomorrow, so I have to obey the military order... "

Before he could finish his evasive words, Guan Da Xun Xi, who had already been drunk, stood up and said angrily: "Master Li just drink, there is still me, and I will command the artillery from now on. When does Master Li want to come back?" Kyoto becomes."

Li Guolou's blood rushed to his forehead when he heard this, the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, and the artillery officers under him were all bought by Xu Zhanbiao, how could they value him.He made false promises with him, secretly drew his salary from the bottom of the pot, and wiped out all his artillery officers.

"Well, I have the ambition to serve the country, and my ambition is commendable. It is time for Xun Guandai to stand out. The next artillery command will be handed over to Xun Guandai, and I will retreat to the second line. Wow..." Li Guolou sat slumped and drank it all in one gulp.The official position is still too small, people go to high places, how can a hero who knows the current affairs be hanged on a tree?

Xu Zhanbiao's full beard covered his smile, and he glanced smugly at the drinking officer under the tent. Everything here belonged to him, and what belonged to Li Guolou, he could grab it with just a stretch of his hand.Li Guolou was very sensible, and he didn't hold on to him. If not, he would use his tricks, and he would let Li Ziying go back to Beijing immediately.

That sentence, "Master Li, when will you return to Beijing?" I didn't say it, the table was full of good wine and food, and I could taste fresh vegetables, melons and fruits from the south, it was because Li Ziying was on the front line that he let him A blessing to have.Not to mention the military salaries donated by the governors from all over the country. How can the "money bag" Li Guolou leave when the money and food are rarely sufficient?

"Master Li, our frontline officers and soldiers are very grateful for Li Ziying's selfless help, and sincerely hope that you will stay longer. Come on! Everyone, let's toast the friendship between the two armies, and drink this cup to the brim. "

"Then I would like to thank Vice Marshal Xu for pointing out the point. I would like to ask Vice Marshal Xu to take care of Li Ziying's logistics support." Can be justifiably knighted.

The understanding officers stood up one after another, and one by one took turns to toast and express their admiration to each other.Leaning shoulders and backs to get close to Li Guolou, the smell of alcohol sprayed on his face.It made Li Guolou feel uncomfortable all over. There are many soldiers who have long-yang addiction because they are with men all the year round and have no women to take care of them.

His little face has aroused so much love among soldiers, it is no longer clear whether it is brotherhood or another kind of affection?Li Guolou half-pushed, and drank round after round. Anyway, this is Li Ziying, and it doesn't hurt to fall drunk on the ground.

The banquet was in full swing, Guo Baochang swayed his horoscope, carried a horsewhip, triumphantly entered the army tent, knelt down on one leg, and shouted: "I report to Deputy Marshal Xu, I will live up to my mission and annihilate four thousand soldiers in Xiao Kongtong." Defending the enemy, with less than two hundred casualties, came to reward Guo Ziying."

"Hahahaha! Well, well! The commander of Guo Ziying is working hard, and I can see it. Guo Shoubei will not wrong you. I will reward you with a big bowl of wine first." Xu Zhanbiao stroked his beard and looked at his favorite general with a smile Guo Baochang, the general who can fight has a bit of a weird temper. He has already known the temper of his subordinates. Those who entrust their lives to each other are brothers for life.

"Hehe! Vice Marshal Xu understands my old Guo. I'm just thirsty." Guo Baochang gulped down the wine in a sea bowl, and the wine dripped from his beard, clothes, and the ground, making the people around him praise him in unison. , "Good man!"

"Lao Guo is not allowed to mention spoiling things. Mr. Li is a scout of Xinke. We don't want to listen to the great achievements of the bandit." Gao Liansheng was afraid that Guo Baochang would not be able to control his bad mouth, so he would boast about his military exploits.

"Hahahaha! Don't talk, don't talk, Lao Guo is not drunk yet? Come on! Master Li, how close we are." Guo Baochang poured his wine and ran to toast with his allies. He felt deeply about Li Ziying's artillery support gratitude.He is also an old soldier. He has an idea of ​​how many people will die in a tough battle. He has a strong endurance. For the small Kongtong, the casualties of more than 200 people are very low, which is beyond his expectations. At last, Li Guolou was pleasing to the eye.

"Hey! Good man, let's have a toast." Li Guolou hesitated to speak, he could probably guess if others didn't say anything, he was a tiger-fighting hero, and as for how many tigress he killed, it's better not to guess.Later, when Guo Baochang drank too much wine, he would vomit and tell the details.

"Master Li, do you want it?" Guo Baochang hooked Li Guolou's neck and asked in a low voice, his face full of mockery.

"Forget it, Lao Guo, let's give it to someone else. Everyone, I offer a toast to everyone. I wish Dong Zhiyuan will be captured as soon as possible, and the enemy's Eighteenth Route Marshal will be wiped out." He can't change this cruel world, but he won't collude with it either.

"Old Guo, don't mutter, come and drink." Xu Zhanbiao didn't want the harmonious atmosphere at the banquet to be destroyed by Guo Baochang. As the supreme commander on Dong Zhiyuan's front line, he had the responsibility to keep the army's sense of honor.

Some things should not be mentioned as much as possible, as they will disappear after passing by, they will not be mentioned in history books, nor will they be written in notebooks.As for the scribbles written by literati who have not personally experienced the battlefield, no one will admit it.Those descendants who boasted of their ancestors' military exploits only saw a series of numbers, and they could never imagine how dirty the process was hidden in this series of numbers.

Li Guolou anesthetized himself with alcohol and got drunk. He didn't want to listen or think about it, he only needed to get his mind drunk.Uncover the true face of war, can't you tell the hero or the criminal?As soon as an order is given, a soldier becomes a beast. This is not a crime, this is war.

The strange thing is that Li Guolou actually likes this kind of killing. He enjoyed it and laughed wantonly. The bondage in his heart was untied. He waved the command flag in his hand, "Let go!"

As if a [-]-jin cannon had been ejected, Li Guolou fell down with a bang. The army tent burst into laughter, and another person fell down.

"cheers!"

The standing soldiers raised their wine glasses high. They anesthetized themselves with alcohol, forgetting the trauma of a killing to their hearts.
