late Qing Dynasty arrest

Because Liu Songshan was accidentally killed, Liu Jintang only stayed in Yan'an for one night, and rushed to Zuo Zongtang in Yongning Cave of Jinji Fort to promote Liu Jintang.Even the troops deployed by Zhang Yao, Lei Zhengwan, etc. were controlled by Liu Jintang. Those admirals and commanders had to salute Liu Jintang, the sixth-rank officer. Zuo Zongtang messed up the officialdom overnight.

Zuo Zongtang has recommended Liu Jintang to the imperial court for the rank of admiral to succeed Liu Songshan.The sixth-rank civil servants were directly promoted from the first-rank military officials, which has never happened since the founding of the Qing Dynasty for more than 100 years.

The main force of the Qing army was preparing to launch an autumn offensive against the returning troops of Jinjibao. The main target of the attack was directed at the mouth of the Qingtong Gorge of the Yellow River, which is the mouth of the second canal of the Qin and Han Dynasties. The Qing army planned to seize this strategically important area before winter came. The flooding of Jinji Fort laid the groundwork.

At the Changting Pavilion ten miles away from Yan’an, the officials who saw him off saw him off here. At this time, Liu Jintang was only 28 years old and in his prime.

"Everyone, please stay. I accept your kindness. I will say goodbye here and drink the celebration wine in the future." Liu Jintang held up a bowl of Jianxing wine and drank it all in one gulp. [

"Then invite Master Liu to go." The wise official did not mention Liu Jintang's official position.

The scene at this time is a bit embarrassing, and it can't be celebrated. His uncle died, and his father was dead in etiquette, and he was in mourning.You can't express your grief. The army is very superstitious when going to war. There is a perfect etiquette system for auspicious times, auspicious omens, and auspicious words. You can't cry even if you cry.Therefore, silence is golden for officials big and small, and they bowed their hands and saluted with serious expressions, and the farewell was carried out in an atmosphere of silence.

Liu Jintang stepped on the horse, turned his head and cupped his fists to salute, expressing his gratitude to the officials who saw him off.According to the national system, he has to return to his hometown to observe filial piety for three years, which is the Dingyou system.But state affairs are the most important thing, and the emperor can take advantage of it and let Liu Jintang keep his filial piety in his post.The Duoqing system is for important officials of the court, and ordinary officials cannot enjoy this system.Liu Jintang was robbed of love by the Emperor Tongzhi, and he also has the particularity of a military officer, who can be exempted from Ding You during the war.But Liu Jintang, as a "son", puts filial piety first. Liu Jintang sent a report to ask Ding You. This procedure still has to go.

The officers and soldiers of the Jinzi Battalion wore sackcloth and filial piety, and held banners. The two battalions of the Jinzi Battalion were full, and more than 1000 soldiers and elders disappeared on the horizon.By fighting, you can become stronger and stronger. The brocade banner allows every soldier to cherish this honor. As long as he stands under this flag, the fighters of the brocade battalion pledge their allegiance to Liu Jintang to the death.Most of the Jinzi battalion commanders are reformed prisoners of war, and they will be promoted to a higher level in the future, and they will be glorious Jinzi battalion soldiers. The army relies on the injection of these fresh blood to keep the organizational system intact.

Li Guolou looked at the dust and felt a lot. The so-called blessing and misfortune are the most appropriate for Liu Jintang.And he and Liu Jintang have many similarities. They are both officials promoted by the Rockets. They have no background in officialdom.Those of his same age, same school, and same subject are still studying in the Imperial Academy, working as small officials in the six departments, cultivating their morals and learning the way of being an official.If you want to have a sphere of influence, at least ten years later.People who obey their advice have too little official position, and they are not even in the top ranks, and those who are available are slaves.He lost to Liu Jintang in the talent war, and he had to rely on the help of his allies in the war. If the allies released pigeons, he could only cry.

Li Guolou was entangled in his heart, who should Li Ziying leave to? The No. 1 selection turned out to be Manchu Fan Ye, because Fan Ye was originally an artillery officer, and he was trained in the Great Northwest Battle, which will allow Li Ziying to go further on the road of strengthening the army with technology, and will not go far. The old way of the Chu army.Fighting is a strange thing, and even he has improved his command ability through battle after battle.However, Fan Ye's status as a Manchu made him somewhat suspicious. It would be against his will to hand over Li Ziying to a Manchu.

Li Yunchu, Su Yuanchun, and Li Yunkai are still too young, and they need to study for a few more years, which will be of great use in the future.Now it is necessary to suppress their official careers. If jade is not cut, it will not be perfect, and if people are not polished, they will not be successful. Let them stay at the bottom for a while, so that they can grow into towering trees in the future.

Cheng Kun is suitable for managing the supervisory team. His heart is too dark. He belongs to the type of people who can cause chaos and is not suitable for controlling military power.He is in a high position, Cheng Kun will not make trouble, if he dies, Cheng Kun will definitely stir up trouble.

It is better to use Battelle sparingly, otherwise he will die on the battlefield sooner or later, and he likes to rush ahead, which is the malady of officers.The Mongolian cavalry tactics can only be used when victory is in sight, and it is the last blow.

Cannonball!Discharge guns!The cavalry charged!Napoleon's magic weapon for victory looks flawless, but the war situation is diverse, and the tactics that stick to the rules are bound to be cracked. Li Ziying must learn to fight in various environments.If you don't know how to fight at sea?The Qing Dynasty was still surrounded by warships of Western powers, and the navy was weak and vulnerable.Ten years later, the Beiyang navy will be able to fight. Now it can only rely on the army to fight to the death. The Qing Dynasty has a vast territory, and it will be a problem to deploy troops.Still have to rely on trains to transport troops. I don't know how the small train project in Yuanmingyuan is progressing?The breakthrough is still at the empress dowager of the two palaces, and the beautiful man's plan is not good.

Li Guolou bowed his head in deep thought, thinking about the blueprint for the future of the Qing Dynasty, and regarded himself as the planner of the Qing Dynasty. The expression on his face was uncertain and constantly changing.At this time, he became a loyal and patriotic person again, considering everything for the Emperor Tongzhi, abandoning his family for the country, regardless of previous suspicions, abandoning the disputes between Manchu and Han, and joining hands in the future.With Liu Jintang alive, Li Guolou did not dare to rebel, so he sent his nemesis away just now.He didn't see Liu Jintang already in front of him, but when he saw Liu Jintang's face, he was taken aback. He must have seen the devil!Why are you asking for your life again?

"Lord Li, I want to talk to you a few words." Liu Jintang's tone was unquestionable, with the tone of a commander giving orders.

Someone Li Guolou had never been afraid of, but for some reason?I was a little afraid of Liu Jintang in my heart, and felt that Liu Jintang was his nemesis.If the two of them meet in battle one day, he will definitely lose to Liu Jintang.The Liu Jintang in front of him was not a reckless person like a parachutist, but Zhou Lang who was like a feather fan and a scarf, with his fingers blowing away.If he is the reincarnation of Zhao Zilong, then Liu Jintang is the reincarnation of Zhou Yu.One has the talent of a general, the other has the strategy of a commander, the two are not on the same level.Seeing Liu Jintang's upright face, Li Guolou regarded himself as a loyal and patriotic man, who would dare to disturb the Qing Dynasty?He will wipe out all the traitors. It is an indisputable fact that the rebels must be backed by foreign devils.

"Aren't you leaving?" Li Guolou almost wanted to refuse Liu Jintang's request, with a reluctant expression, knowing in his heart that there must be nothing good, Liu Jintang would not give him money, and treat him as a fool.The greatest ability of military generals is to cry for poverty, keep asking the Ministry of War for money, and then use various excuses to increase military expenditures, becoming a burden that the country cannot shake off.He will not support the expansion of the Hunan Army. If the Hunan Army expands its recruitment, Liu Jintang will become Cao Cao.If Liu Jintang does not resist, his subordinates will also wear yellow robes.

"Hey! I'm worried about you. Let's go! Let's talk a little bit." Liu Jintang forcefully dragged Li Guolou to a secluded corner.

Officials in Yan'an, who didn't know the inside story, thought that the two of them were life-and-death friends, and they forged a deep friendship during the battle, which made them talk endlessly.The melancholy of parting lingered in my heart, and Liu Jintang actually turned back again. What a touching scene, people have endless reveries, but it's a pity that I couldn't hear what they said.

"Don't mention money, Liu Jintang! If you have any difficulties, go to Zeng Guoquan. The Qing Dynasty's money is all in the cellar in Hunan. You have no shortage of money at home, and you don't ask for anything." Speak your heart.He won't lend money to Liu Jintang because he suffered a loss and gained wisdom. How rich the old Hunan army is has become a legend in the Qing Dynasty.

For the old Hunan army who dared to fight and fight hard, the Ministry of War did not dare to deduct too much, and paid ten months of salary a year. Among the Qing army, the army with this treatment can be ranked in the top three.The Hunan Army is treated better than the Huai Army, and its weapons and equipment are also first-class. Only with money can it train a strong army. Hunan Governor Zeng Guoquan spent a lot of money to build the Hunan Army with the strength of a province.The combat effectiveness of the Hunan Army not only depends on the spiritual strength of the Hunan people's "wildness", but also on material wealth.Liu Jintang was not short of money, nor did he want to borrow money from Li Guolou. When he heard Li Guolou talking about money, he was very dissatisfied and said, "Li Guolou is the only one who has money! I am not much worse than you, and I don't do things that are soft on people." .I am for the country and the people, and I want to help you as much as I can, and I will listen to you or not."

Liu Jintang raised his head and kept silent, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.The old Hunan Army had only thirteen battalions when it fought back and forth, and now Dong Fuxiang's three returned battalions were added, and the other two battalions belonged to the wartime establishment, making a total of eighteen battalions.However, Dong Fuxiang's three returned battalions will be transferred from the Hunan Army's formation in the future. Dong Fuxiang's returned army will be stationed in the Northwest. In the future, the Hunan Army will still have [-] battalions. Rebellion, so the Hunan Army will not become stronger and endanger the dominance of the Qing Dynasty. [

Liu Jintang has all the skills, and he can't expand the army. The other troops besieging Jinjibao are just following his restraint, and it has nothing to do with the Hunan Army in the future.But the lack of troops made him stretched, so Li Ziying's crooked brain was used.

Does Li Ziying have combat effectiveness?Liu Jintang had seen it on the battlefield, an army that dared to fight the bayonet, and had nothing to say.There are also artillery tactics, cavalry assaults, supervisors standing at the forefront, and field cultural education classes. Li Ziying turned out to be a cultured death squad, which is very different from other armies.

The so-called people should stand firm and have a correct attitude, they must rely on ideological and moral education and accept correct values.The tactics of Li Ziying's western army are decent, and they look very mature. Li Guolou's way of training troops has to be learned secretly.

So Liu Jintang turned back before leaving, ready to pull out his teeth, and make all of Li Guolou's abilities his own.Guo Baochang and Li Guolou are hypocritical, and the Anhui Army and Li Ziying look like they are wearing a pair of pants. How can Guo Baochang's Anhui Army benefit.He wanted to strip Li Guolou to the ground, so that Li Guolou would still work for him when he was dying.

Li Guolou still understands the rules of the officialdom. Liu Jintang will succeed the admiral of Hunan, and his official position is higher than him. He can't do without asking, so he can only ask along the way: "Since you have good intentions and pulled out the banner of serving the country and the people, Please tell the ignorant people, I will listen with my ears."

Liu Jintang's handsome face was quite like a gentleman, and he said solemnly: "I know you are going back to Beijing, but Li Ziying's actual combat training will not change. In the future, you and Weng Tong will plan to build a new military army, and Li Ziying will be the new military army." I will bear the burden of training and recruiting for you. Whether you train one battalion or ten battalions, actual combat on the front line is the best criterion for testing combat effectiveness. I don’t think you will believe it. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have stayed in the Great Northwest for so long.”

Li Guolou's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe such a thing. The Hunan Army is the most famous army in the world. There is a saying in the army that "Xiang can't be an army!" Dare to move the place, and refuse to fight.Only when they saw the Hunan Army marching, would the other troops leave the station.Are there such good people in the world?Ji Houhou: "You won't let Li Ziying climb the city, will you? Let me declare first that Li Ziying will not participate in thankless battles. I have such a small family background that I can't afford to make a fuss."

Seeing Li Guolou's obsequious flattery, Liu Jintang had the chance to win, and said without hesitation: "Li Guolou, I am here for this country, not for you personally. I want to see the Qing Dynasty rise again. The imperial court criticized that thirteen is my limit, and the Hunan Army cannot become 23. You understand the truth. I can only support you and Weng Tong’s idea of ​​​​founding the Xinwu Army, and I am optimistic about your future."

If Liu Jintang finally smiled and showed a smile, Li Guolou would see through Liu Jintang's uneasiness and kindness, and would sternly reject the idea.However, Liu Jintang's expression remained still and his expression was still so serious. Li Guolou, who caught the sharp eyes, fell into Liu Jintang's hands, and he squeezed Liu Jintang's hand tightly gratefully, and said, "Okay! This is a good idea! I don't worry about your work." , Li Ziying will be handed over to you. In less than two years, the Xinwu Army will have at least ten battalions. I hope you will take up this burden and train an iron army in battle. Liberate the Northwest, liberate Xinjiang, and bring imperialism to the fore. The warships were driven out of the Qing Dynasty and went to Annan to drive out the French. They were sent to Burma to defeat the British navy. They defeated the Russians and took Vladivostok back.”

Liu Jintang was still laughing at Li Guolou in his heart, and made Li Guolou deflated with his high chess moves, and played Li Guolou once.But hearing what Li Guolou said, he couldn't help being moved. It is a soldier's dream to gallop on the battlefield. To regain the lost vassal state and win the victory to comfort the ancestors, why doesn't he want to see this scene?The eye sockets suddenly became moist, with Li Guolou as a confidant in life, what more could a husband ask for?

"Take care!" Liu Jintang broke free from Li Guolou's big hand and hugged Li Guolou, and the two hugged each other, their clothes wet with tears.

Seeing this scene, Fan Dahui who was standing on the side of the official road muttered, "I can vomit!"

"Hey! Master Fan is from the Qing Dynasty, and the prince also likes this kind of activity. You can't say it, you can't say it!" Xu Lan shook her head and sighed. How could a man change his sexual orientation?The two handsome men hugged each other, looking inseparable, not a little disgusting, but too disgusting.

All the big and small officials in Yan'an bowed their heads, with a clear expression on their faces, and they were secretly smiling with the corners of their mouths moving.
