late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 563 The Xinwu Army Comes to the Northwest

At dusk, Li Guolou was still sound asleep when Wanniang woke him up and told him that the students from Xinwu Hall had arrived and were waiting for his interview.

"Ah! The peach pickers are here, so fast. Who did Liu Liumazi send here? Where's Mr. Fan?" Li Guolou woke up suddenly. He didn't drink much alcohol, and he just took advantage of the situation when he was dizzy. After falling down and sleeping all afternoon, I feel much more refreshed.

"Xiaolou, get up quickly, Master Fan is outside the door, I'll ask him to come in." Wanniang smiled and twisted her waist, before leaving she gave a wink.

Liu Mingchuan recruited a new batch of new martial arts students to come to the Northwest for training. His hidden ultimate move was to grab credit. He wanted Li Ziying to be included in the sequence of the new military army, and he wanted Li Ziying to change his banner.Let the ambitious Li Guolou understand that national interests are above all else, and if Li Guolou is not given the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, Li Hongzhang will never leave behind military power.

How can Li Hongzhang let Li Guolou act independently? As long as he is the governor of Zhili, he cannot let the Xinwutang be separated from the Huai army system. The Wei Army is temporarily stationed in Xiaozhan Town, Tianjin.Later, the Xinwu Army was stationed in Ningguta, Jilin, the place where the refugees were distributed, and defended the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, serving as a strong backing for the Weihaiwei Navy. [

Li Hongzhang is cunning and cunning, tampering with Li Guolou's claims, moving Li Guolou's immigration plan to defend the northeast, to the northeast, so that Li Guolou's immigration plan reaches the border of Russia, and the conspiracy of intimidating polar bears is directly exposed in broad daylight , with an aggressive posture.Let the world see that the revival of the Qing Dynasty is just around the corner, and the deep meaning of Chen Bing's northward journey is clearly revealed.

Of course, the ministers of ZTE wanted to open up territory for the country, backed by the Prussian Empire, and the Qing Empire was not very friendly to Russia. The reason was that the Russians occupied the six cities of Ili and recognized the legal status of the Zedsar Kingdom.Li Guolou's plan of emigrating troops to defend the birthplace of the royal family has been implemented. Although the scale is small, the world knows that the reform of the Qing Dynasty even dared to move the birthplace of the royal family. The strength of the reform of the Qing Dynasty cannot be doubted.

The Xinwu Army was under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and Liu Mingchuan served as the first general of the Xinwu Army.Li Guolou was awarded the title of deputy commander-in-chief to reward meritorious ministers.

Weng Tonghe is still the principal of the Xinwu Hall, and has not improved to a higher level. Weng Tonghe's status in the Xinwu Army has not been improved.Li Hongzhang and Weng Tonghe competed head-on, and Weng Tonghe ended in complete defeat.However, when Weng Tonghe got the official position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, he also got a real vacancy and became the pillar of the Qing School.

Li Guolou accepted the appointment of the Ministry of War, and his military position has a place to be attached to. The registered deputy commander-in-chief sounds like a real name, but it is just a false title, but Li Guolou has a thick waist and many official seals, which is rare for courtiers.Liu Mingchuan's resurgence was recommended by him, backed by Weng Tonghe, so he, the deputy commander of the Xinwu Army, is so powerful that he has already formed a faction of his own. He has established an intricate network of relationships in the Xinwu Hall, and even Liu Mingchuan dare not touch it. his interests.

But how could Liu Mingchuan be willing to lose power, so he set up another system in the Xinwutang. This time, the Xinwutang recruited [-] new students to the Northwest to learn how to fight on the battlefield. His cronies Nie Shicheng and Zhang Peilun led the team .In a very strange scene, two new armed forces came to the Northwest, and the soldiers of the two factions of one army did not belong to each other.

According to the organizational system of the Qing army, the army of the general army has four to six wings, led by a deputy general, that is, the wing commander (regiment leader).The direct line troops in the hands of the chief soldier are one wing, up to two wings, and the other wing commanders are appointed by the Ministry of War, so that the chief soldier is not allowed to monopolize the military power, which is inherent in the saying of "iron camp, flowing soldiers!"

There are many factions in the local army, and the Qing Dynasty's control over the army has been very effective. The imperial court is happy to see the army in the army.It is also logical that the newly established Xinwu Army split into two camps.

For the benefit of the country, Li Guolou and Liu Mingchuan unite to do things together, and they are the horns of each other in their official careers, becoming people in a system.But for their own benefit, they each display their talents and become competitors. Who else has the most outstanding military exploits?

After you sing, I will appear on the stage, Li Guolou is about to leave, and someone else comes, Li Ziying expands to become the new military army, and the first step of Li Guolou's dream has come true.But this is not a scene that Li Guolou is willing to see, but the reality cannot be changed. Under the current circumstances, Li Guolou can only accept two voices from the Xinwu Army, which seem to be harmonious on the surface.There's no need to turn against Liu Mingchuan, the big deal is that the family will be separated again in the future.

Li Guolou, who is fickle, keeps revising the plan, the general direction remains unchanged, the form and content can be changed, the enemy changes and I change!Mr. Fu Xiang asked people to look up from the mountains, temporarily silence the flags and drums, and obey Li Hongzhang's arrangement.It makes people think that he is satisfied with everything he has now, accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity to become big.

While Li Guolou was getting dressed, Fan Dahui walked into the inner room and said with a pleasant smile, "Master Li, guess who is waiting outside the door?"

"Oh! How can I not know that the person whose nose bridge was broken by me is here, and is there another person who is fatter than you?" Li Guolou looked at Fan Dahui behind him in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, with a trace of a smile on his face. The color of sarcasm.

"Lord Li, you would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. Don't get carried away. There are five hundred students standing outside the playground." Fan Dahui, like a gentleman, educated Li Guolou in a lecturer tone.

"Oh! It's my fault. How long have those students been standing?" Li Guolou's expression became serious. He should not judge people by their appearance. He fastened the buttons under his neck. There were a few patches in the new military uniform, which made him look even more serious. With a tall and straight body and a face full of righteousness, the righteousness exudes from the inside out, and the image of the romantic dude in the capital has been insulated from him.

"Oh, it's not long! I let them stand for an hour and a half, and those recruits are quite decent, and no one has been whipped by Cheng Kun." Guolou is ruthless, kindness does not control soldiers!For recruits who come to the front line to receive actual combat training, the first lesson is to stand like a pine.

"Well;;;;;;; order! Let five hundred recruits stand for two hours, whoever dares to move, will not be given food, and can be whipped ten times. I want to see the new look of the Xinwu Army." Li Guolou did not hesitate. Don't be moved, this is a test for the Xinwu Army, and it is impossible for a team without spirit to win.

The Chu army's military law is cruel, and the string of heads hanging on the Yan'an city tower is the end of violating the military law.Soldiers in Li Ziying who violated the military orders and dared not fight with bayonets were shot by Cheng Kun's supervisory team.Only a team that is in awe of military law can burst out with poor combat effectiveness on the battlefield.The Xinwu Army is not a royal guard used to stand guard, but an iron army that crawled out of the bloody sea of ​​swords through bloody battles.

This group of newcomers will go to the front line of Jinji Fort to participate in the battle. Li Guolou will not cordially condolences to the new army who came from afar. The cruel war does not care about human feelings, but only about military law.Training the team starts with torturing people's will and quality, which is the inheritance of the army. Without Li Guolou's orders, Fan Dahui is already picking up [-] new recruits. [

Fan Dahui smiled and said: "Master Li, do you want to let those country bumpkins see our Li Ziying's illustrious military exploits?"

"Forget it, it's too late today, let the new soldiers eat well. Put Li Ziying's military drills on the day after tomorrow, and I will leave the day after tomorrow. I plan to promote Fan Ye as the deputy general, and Cheng Kun and Bateer as the generals." You hand over the logistical errands to Yang Zhao. This kid is willing to use his brains and is not greedy. He can handle the important tasks of the supply camp. Others only remember military exploits and don't give promotions. Let's talk about false titles in a few years. Young people are practical. Wearing a fake official hat, you are so ambitious in doing things." Li Guolou was a little disappointed, and parting is always sad.

Li Guolou abandoned the idea of ​​the distinction between Manchu and Han, and promoted Manchu Fan Ye out of public interest. Han people are not necessarily of the same mind, and Manchu can also be used by me.Since I used Fan Ye, I treated him as my own.

There are too many vacancies in the Qing Dynasty, and Fan Dahui has a lot of experience, and the alternate official who wants to face and suffer is really tiring.For Li Guolou's failure to vigorously promote a group of subordinates, he has a supportive attitude.But regarding Li Guolou's promotion of Fan Ye, he was skeptical. Is it okay for Li Ziying to be handed over to an outsider?Shen Ning said for a moment: "Master Li, Fan Ye seems not qualified enough, I'm afraid he won't be able to convince everyone."

Li Guolou nodded and said: "Well, I know this. I will talk to the officers one by one tonight, and I will do their ideological work first. People grow up while studying. Fan Ye is the most suitable under the current situation. For the selection of candidates, there will always be chaos when people gather together. In the future, we will all go our separate ways, and don’t care about temporary gains and losses. Promoting a Manchu will also make the court clean, so as not to make people suspicious.”

"Oh! So that's how it is, I understand." Fan Dahui heard Li Guolou's subtext, and a smart person can understand it at a glance.Li Guolou is a fox, and every step he takes must be calculated. Promoting a Manchu officer who is not well-known will shock the court and make Emperor Tongzhi feel more at ease about Li Guolou.Similarly, Fan Ye has already integrated into Li Ziying, and the soldiers do not reject Fan Ye, and Li Ziying's combat effectiveness is still strong.

A commander can change an army, and using the wrong commander can turn an army into loose sand.The army pays attention to inheritance, but also to the origin, and outsiders are not enough to make people work hard.

Why let the soldiers risk their lives?It just depends on the relationship.For example, the close friendship in the war, and the inheritance of the political legacy of the parents.To lead troops is to lead generals. Officers are not promoted casually. Just saying "Military law! National righteousness!" makes officers work hard. The training of soldiers is too simple, and anyone who is mean and ungrateful can be a commander.

Qi Jiguang's "Ji Xiao New Book" explained all the principles of military training, but no one can surpass Qi's army. The principles in the book can be understood, and it really belongs to practical operation. No one can train an army like Qi's army.why?Because there is no such personal charm as Qi Jiguang, it is too difficult to make every ordinary soldier feel at home.

The emergence of hot weapons makes soldiers become consumables, and elite soldiers and recruits have to fight to the death together. It is impossible to train elite soldiers who are invulnerable.So Zuo Zongtang's Chu army went to the battlefield in three months, relying on those officers and veterans.In the final analysis, the combat effectiveness of an army depends on the glory of the battle flag and the personal charm of the commander.For an army to identify with a commander, the commander must have many qualities.

Winning victory is a kind of quality, winning people's hearts is also a kind of quality, making people worship is the highest state, superstitious superstition makes the righteous go to death, and fears the rain of guns.Zuo Zongtang has reached this level and has become an invincible myth.

Li Guolou is also walking on this road. Only by winning again and again can he reach this level.The construction of the Zilong Temple has made his glorious image deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Li Zizhanqi has already penetrated into the bones of Li Ziying. Even if Li Guolou leaves Li Ziying, this army belongs to him.

Li Guolou still has another battle, which is the new [-] new military troops. He is very familiar with the tricks of winning people's hearts. He is the chief student of the Xinwu Hall, and the title of teacher will benefit him for life. He inherits Li Hongzhang's thought Liu Mingchuan, who was born in Beijing, could not escape the fate of being wiped out by him, and the Xinwu Army was still in his pocket.This invisible battle is still brewing, and Li Guolou is waiting for the best opportunity to deal a fatal blow to Liu Mingchuan and make this great god go away.

Li Guolou, who was dressed in military uniform, accompanied several officers of Li Ziying to inspect the [-] Xinwu Army phalanx. No one knew that he had just sobered up drunk. As a result, recruits should accept various tests.

A phalanx of 500 people stood proudly in the sunset. Two hours later, everyone from officers to ordinary soldiers remained motionless. There were fine beads of sweat on their faces, and disturbing mosquitoes flew around their ears. Even if they were bitten by mosquitoes and swollen, The five hundred soldiers of the Xinwu Army are still as tall and straight as the pines.In front of them, a group of officers from Li Ziying also remained motionless, and the officers and soldiers of the two new armed forces just stared at each other, staring at each other motionlessly.

Nie Shicheng and Zhang Peilun are both instructors of the Xinwu Hall, they knew each other at first, they belonged to Li Guolou's subordinate officials, Li Guolou accepted their visit calmly.After exchanging pleasantries, Li Guolou stood at the front of the line and delivered a speech with one hand on his hip.

"Students traveled more than 2000 miles to Yan'an. When we met for the first time, I asked you to practice your appearance. This is a compulsory course for the Xinwu Army. Survival of the fittest. There is competition every moment. Those who want to stay must give I stand up straight. There is only one thing I give you, and that is faith! You are not afraid of death or sacrifice. You come to Xinwu Hall to learn and fight with your guns. You left your hometown and braved the scorching heat to come here What is the reason for the yellow earth? That is the belief in the rise of the nation! There is such a power that makes people not stop groping in the dark, never give up fighting in failure, and never forget the pursuit in setbacks. In the face of steadfast belief, The great difficulties are insignificant, and the hardships and dangers on the border are not surprising. This kind of strength brings us together, gathers a strength, rises up and thrives, and is brave after knowing the shame. The Qing Dynasty will surely be rejuvenated in the hands of our younger generation Youth, even if the night comes, it can’t stop our burning fighting spirit. This fighting spirit comes from the same nation, this nation is called the Chinese nation, and has written a glorious history of 4000 years;;;;;;”

There is something in Li Guolou's words, and there is a hidden mystery. The history of the Manchus is not as long as 4000 years, not even 1000 years. The scattered history of the Manchus requires searching for lost civilizations from the classics of the Han Dynasty.Instilling the awareness of Greater China in the newcomers, including sinister intentions, Li Guolou is as cunning as a fox, trying to test people's hearts step by step.There are no words in the speech, and others can't think of throwing dirty water on him out of context. Literary prison is no joke.The ambitious Li Guolou regards the Xinwu Army as a touchstone of his faith, and he wants to make [-] Anhui fellow villagers become his followers.
