late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 553 Unexposed Thoughts

The Qing army outside Luoda Township was divided into two groups. One group monitored the enemies in the village, stood firm in their positions, and fired sporadically to prevent the enemies from rushing out of the village in broad daylight.Another group of people is building fortifications, working in full swing.

The construction of fortifications is decided by the soldiers of the engineering post. One officer of the engineering post has a particularly loud voice. He is everywhere in the fields outside the village, jumping up and down, shouting and drinking. You have to listen to him.Ding Guohu was originally Goshha of Li Guolou, and now he is a team officer of the Liziying Engineering Post. Under the leadership of the post officer Liu Yu, he learned various military skills of engineers.The soldiers of the engineering post followed Guo Baochang's engineering battalion masters in the northwest to learn blasting, digging tunnels, building bridges, and also learned to build carriages and rafts.

Carpenters, blacksmiths, bamboo craftsmen, and masons all have their own positions in the engineering post. The soldiers of the engineering post are the strange works of Li Ziying, and they are nicknamed "mud legs" by other soldiers.The soldiers of the engineering post participated in many battles in Dong Zhiyuan and Yan'an, but the soldiers of the engineering post belonged to their stepmothers, and they have been kept silent. Other teams are not interested in listening to the engineers boasting about their military exploits. Eat and wait to die.But the soldiers at the engineering post thought they were superior, because their monthly allowance was only one or two taels lower than that of the artillerymen, and one level higher than that of the cavalry, but only they could taste the bitterness in their hearts, and silently endured the cynicism of other soldiers in a self-deceiving manner.

Ding Guohu originally had a carefree personality, thinking that entering the new martial arts hall would make him famous, but after such a long time, he remained silent, which changed his personality drastically, and Ding Guohu's loud voice could no longer be heard in the barracks.Although Li Guolou did not treat him badly, and his name was included in the first batch of promotions, but like other soldiers at the engineering post, he felt that he had made an inch of skill. He came to the Northwest to learn how to fight, not to devote himself to it. Half a year has passed. He hasn't had a single military feat to be proud of yet, so what will happen to him when he returns to the capital in the future in Bada Hutong!

This time when I came to Luoda Township to fight, it was finally the turn of the soldiers of the engineering sentry to show their talents. The Qing army surrounded the rebels in the village and dug fortifications outside the village. The loud voices of the engineering sentry soldiers are directing the soldiers to dig fortifications.But today it was finally the turn of the soldiers at the engineering post to feel proud. Ding Guohu dared to yell at Li Guolou. He said that the mines should be buried under the old locust tree, so there was no need to discuss it. [

At dusk, when the sunset glow reflected in the west, Ding Guohu carefully covered the last pinch of soil on the landmine. On the only way to the south, he buried hundreds of catties of explosives, and prepared to send a celestial girl to scatter flowers. Let the enemy feel torn apart.

"Guan Di blesses the Great Qing, let the enemy rush out of the south of the village, the first sound is perfect and beautiful, and I will go to Guan Di Temple to offer three animals." Ding Guohu knelt on his knees, chanting words in his mouth, piously comparing the earth to incense, Looking at the sunset glow, will the dream in my heart be as dreamy as that rainbow?

In the general environment of the Chu army, the cruel military law made people forget the horror of death. If the enemy on the other side of the river dared to escape, he would beat the enemy until he pissed off his ass and fled back with his tail between his legs.Every Li Ziying soldier has long put life and death aside, the environment determines a person's thinking, Ding Guohu is reborn, and is proud to be a soldier of the Chu Army.Looking at the Li Zijun flag planted on the ground, he clenched his fists and vowed to defend the glory of Li Ziying with blood.

The loess explosives used by Li Ziying had good stability, and there was no such thing as explosive self-explosion during the march and battle.The soldiers of the engineering post like to use loess explosives to make various weapons, and they have been able to make many kinds of landmines. This time, many landmines were planted on the main roads around Luoda Township.

The landmines at this time are of the pull-string type. Generally, a soldier hides 30 meters away and pulls the silk thread to detonate the landmines not far away.At any further distance, there is no way to pull the trigger string of the mine.

There is also a mine that uses a fuse, but the fuse can only be placed on dry ground. The fuse is too long, and it is easy to be blown out by the wind when burning, and it is easy for the enemy to see the sparks flying around the fuse. The fuse, so the mine of the fuse is basically not used.

The effect of landmines is only 30 meters away, and the power of landmines is roughly within ten meters.Of course, the soldiers who pull the string will be injured by the mines they pull if they are not careful. It is not uncommon for the pieces to fly tens of meters away.Therefore, the Qing army did not pay much attention to landmines. Engineers were good at using explosives and liked to use explosives to solve problems, but the development and research of landmines fell behind.

But the explosives are expensive, and the suicidal charge with the explosives in their hands is a last resort in war. The Chu army dared to burn everything and publicized such heroic deeds, but did not advocate this kind of war of attrition.The attrition and poverty after the war, the local government had to take care of the family life of the sacrificed soldiers, overwhelmed the Qing government's finances and had a profound impact on local taxes.

Relatively speaking, the amount of explosives used in landmines is small, and the price is much cheaper.After using landmines, the sacrifice rate of soldiers is greatly reduced.Fighting a war also has to be an economic account, and the production of landmines is easy to obtain local materials. Placing explosives in vegetable jars can also create powerful landmines, and bottles and cans can be made into simple landmines.Li Ziying likes to use new tactics, and applying what he has learned is the mantra of Li Ziying's fighters.

Li Guolou attaches great importance to the use of landmines, focuses on training various skills of engineering posts, and likes to try various tactics.

This time Li Ziying took the initiative on the battlefield, besieging more than 200 insurgents who were defending Luoda Township, and the engineers had time to make some landmines.Liu Yu, the chief of the engineering post, finally got the right to speak, and he wanted to show his skills when he had the opportunity, so that Li Guolou could see that the soldiers of the engineering post had various combat skills.

The sky has become dark, the night has shrouded the land, and the sound of guns and artillery in Luoda Village has become sporadic. It seems that the enemy and the enemy have negotiated a deal, and the desire to fight is possible.

Li Guolou was still full of energy, his eyes wide open, as if he could see through the dark sky in this way, and the sweaty work in the afternoon did not make him tired.He cherishes the experience of this battle very much. He has spent a lot of time as an escort in the Northwest, and he has been away from Beijing for more than half a year, which has already exceeded his expectations. A letter from the palace asked him to return to Beijing with glory, military achievements, and glory.Even the imperial court issued an imperial edict asking him to return to Beijing to return to his life, and he was also appointed an official and a nobleman, but he took it off with the excuse of "returning to the chaos is not over, I vow not to return to Beijing!"

But the arm can't twist the thigh, and the date for Li Ziying's class teacher to return to Beijing has already been put on the agenda.Li Guolou also wanted to capture Lei Heng alive to draw a successful conclusion to his trip to the Northwest.This time he privately led Li Ziying to act alone, just to establish a miracle.As for predicting defeat before winning, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, and it is no big deal to lose once.Li Guolou didn't care about it, he broke the pot and smashed it. Anyway, the Li Ziying fighters today can withstand consumption. This time he will not save his strength. If the efficiency war turns into a war of attrition, he can also afford it. Li Guolou Li Ziying had been mentally prepared for more than half of the deaths and injuries. In the worst case, Li Ziying would be disabled and flee into Xieziling to hold his position and stand by for help.

Li Guolou patrolled around the position and ran to the old locust tree outside the village. There was a dead area in front of him, and there was a row of landmines buried by the river bank. He really wanted to see what it was like to be rolling like thunder.

Ding Guohu couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw Li Guolou's cat in the tunnel. Seeing that there was a scene outside the village tonight, it was likely the enemy's main attack direction.Fighting is sometimes a matter of luck. This time when I came to Luoda Township to suppress bandits, the blind cat met a dead mouse and surrounded more than 200 enemies in one round.The soldiers of Li Ziying had already developed superstitious admiration for Li Guolou, believed in Li Guolou's decision-making, and believed that Li Guolou was the reincarnation of Zhao Zilong, so they couldn't win.

Li Ziying soldiers put life and death at risk, and everyone on the front line wants to make meritorious service.Bewitched by the veterans, the recruits quickly developed a mentality of admiration for Li Guolou. Now thousands of recruits are on the battlefield, ready to live and die with the battlefield.

These recruits received the ideological education of the instructors of the Xinwu Hall. Li Guolou personally taught by example and instilled the ideology of great power chauvinism into the recruits.All ethnic groups unite together to contribute to the rise of the Qing Dynasty and make the Qing Dynasty stand tall in the forest of the world again.

Every thought has a logical reason. Of course, when the logic fails, the power of faith is poor, which can be explained by miracles.Which kind of thinking is progressive and which kind of thinking is reactionary?Just the angle of standing is different.Just like believers, people can choose to believe in a certain sect, but they cannot eradicate other sects, and their existence has its rationality.All roads lead to Rome, and the chauvinism of a great power is greatly promoted in Xinwutang.Under Li Guolou's setting, the officers and soldiers of Li Ziying accepted the baptism of great power chauvinism. [

It is a shameful act to fight a civil war. The foreigners fueled the flames of the rebels behind their backs, and the rebels were bribed by the foreigners.The definition of the Gelaohui uprising is the rebellion of the underworld. The Gelaohui started out by smuggling and selling drugs. It has no historical mission to seek the well-being of the people.

The Hui uprising was a conspiracy by the Russians behind the scenes. Tsarist Russia funded the Hui army with various weapons and medicines.The purpose is to make the Qing Dynasty split and the turmoil will continue. The Russians can take the opportunity to occupy the land of the Qing Dynasty. The six cities of Ili are the Russians taking advantage of the chaos of the Qing Dynasty and leading troops to invade the land of the Qing Dynasty.Britain and Russia recognize the country of Zedsar, which occupies half of Xinjiang, as a sovereign state. Everyone knows their sinister intentions to split the Qing Dynasty.Those who engage in separatism are all traitors.

As a soldier of the Qing Dynasty, he shouldered the sacred mission of defending the territorial integrity of the country, suppressing the rebels who were bought by foreigners, recovering the concessions that were plundered by foreigners, and opening up territories.On the above-mentioned points, Li Guolou took the side of those who have the right and the most helpful. He lashed out at the enemies who were unjust and helpless, and denounced the various criminal acts of the rebels.

The untold history of blood and tears in the Qing Dynasty, the humiliation and humiliation, and the loss of power and humiliation of the country like Goujian are all for the future. Ten times, a hundred times, it will be returned to the Eight-Power Allied Forces. Every soldier receives patriotic education. The military flag went through fire and water.

As for the political proposition put forward by the rebels, it is "to drive out the Tartars and restore China!"

Li Guolou cannot directly refute this advanced political proposition.We can only use the great unity of various ethnic groups as an excuse to prevaricate the past.

Li Guolou also has a lot of dissatisfaction with the Manchu regime in his heart, why can't he integrate the Manchus into the Han nationality?The Li family in the Tang Dynasty was actually a Xianbei, but the country they conquered belonged to the Han people, and the Li family also regarded themselves as Han people. The Tang Dynasty is the pride of the Han nation.Even the state of Qin used to be a barbarian, incompatible with the culture of the Central Plains, but Qin Shihuang unified the seven countries, and no one said that Qin State invaded the Central Plains.Both of these dynasties were recognized by the Han people and became the history of the Chinese nation.Some countries in the Sui Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms had alien blood, but they were all included in the official history of the Han people.

Why did the Qing regime cling to the rules of the ancestors and refuse to give up?Insisting on imposing the Eight Banners system on the political power, nondescript stuff, should have been thrown into the dustbin of history long ago.

Most Manchus have long been unable to speak Manchu, let alone write Manchu.Manchus had priority in finding a job. There were many vacancies in the government of the Qing Dynasty that only Manchus were recruited. Manchus still had the privilege of being superior to others, so Manchus still took pride in being Manchus.A minority ethnic group refused to abandon their vested interests and override other ethnic groups, which caused social turmoil, and also made the Han people alienated from the Manchus, and did not want to submit to the rule of the Manchus as second-class subjects.

However, the military capabilities lost by the Eight Banners Army did not have the spirit of bearing hardships and standing hard work.The vast base of the army has been occupied by the Han people. The Qing Dynasty essentially relied on the Han army to defend its territory. A minority government can only rely on the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism to restrain the vast Han army and the people under its rule. It is hoped that the people of the Qing Dynasty will be as loyal as Guan Gong , I only recognize one master in my life.Under the continuous impact of new ideas and new cultures from the West, Guan Gong's thought of loyalty will surely be broken, and the awakening of the Han people will happen sooner or later.

To confess the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and by the way, a group of Manchu aristocrats, who were obsessed with ancient times and had a vegetarian diet, were stuffed into the Senate, so as to learn from the Senate and House of Representatives system of the British Empire.Li Guolou has a reactionary ideology, but it has not been exposed at the moment. He just downplays the political views of the rebels. When he becomes powerful, he will also propose "expel the Tartars and restore China!"

Advanced thinking keeps pace with the times. If you don’t want to be abandoned by history, you must learn to conform to the people’s will. Li Guolou is not a loyal slave of the Qing Dynasty. How can a fickle person recognize a master? The business philosophy is to have both sides in the court, no matter which faction is in power, they all have a common language, coexist peacefully, dance with wolves, and use small-scale improvements to deceive the public's attention.

The ambitious Li Guolou is waiting for the moment when God's will is invincible. He not only needs money and the power of a civil servant, but also the military power of a military officer.Disciples not only have underworld members, but also have guns.In this way, you can act without looking at other people's faces, and you don't need to spend money to buy greedy generals.Li Ziying and Xinwutang were the beginning of his involvement in the army. After seven years, Li Hongzhang stopped being the governor of Zhili, and he took a fancy to the throne of the governor of Zhili. Only with real power and strength can he succeed in the Qing Dynasty rise.

Li Guolou shook his head, put aside his messy thoughts, and concentrated on fighting.Now the soldiers around him are bringing in the new with the old. Those elder husbands who have been with him for half a year are already veterans of Li Ziying, and they can already take charge of their own.An army capable of fighting and fighting has taken shape, relying on these mud legs with patriotic spirit to defeat another gang of gangster mud legs.

Gunshots resounded through the night sky suddenly, and the rebel army hiding in Luoda Village was dispatched. The east entrance of the village in the night was intertwined with the roar of grenades. The loud noise made the ground tremble, and the terrifying night battle began.
