late Qing Dynasty arrest

The military meeting of the Military Aircraft Department lasted for more than two hours. Li Hongzhang, a few important officials of the court, fought with Li Hongzao and Weng Tonghe. He refuted Li Guolou's stupid opinion. Several military ministers agreed with his proposal. Emperor Tongzhi made a final decision and supported the armed independence movement in Annan and Burma. Let Li Hongzhang plan this secret front

Weng Tonghe felt annoyed that he didn't get the command power, so he wanted to put a tying rope on Li Hongzhang and said: "My Majesty, those ethnic minorities on the Annan and Burma borders and the minority ethnic groups in China are relatives. Many of them are relatives. What I mean is that the Chinese ministers think that these ethnic minorities should be armed first, so that they can get close to the Qing Dynasty. The weapon "medicine" is better than that of other places. There must be a difference in severity. Those ethnic minorities who are close to our border are allowed to communicate "Qing Ji"

At this time, the Qing Dynasty was in line with the world and allowed dual or even multiple nationalities. Shanghai is an ice-free port open to the whole world. Foreigners do not need a passport and only need a boat ticket to enter the Great Shanghai. The opening of the Qing Dynasty is a complete door open Welcome foreign friends to do business in Daqing

Li Hongzhang hurriedly said: "The opinions of the emperor Weng Tonghe are pedantic and even more unbearable than Li Guolou's opinions. Those ethnic minorities on the border are all smugglers and drug dealers. How can we arm such people indiscriminately? It will mess up the border." It is necessary to distinguish which ethnic minorities can cooperate and which ethnic minorities will harm the Qing Dynasty. Just because they can speak Chinese, they should not be regarded as their own people. Don’t add to the chaos if you don’t understand the ethnic struggle in the southwestern border. There are more than 500 in a small Myanmar. As a nation, I can easily cause turmoil in Burma. The chief of Burma, Meng Yunsi, died in the hands of the British. This hatred of the Burmese people is kept in my heart. I resorted to fanning the flames. The British are mired in the quagmire of the People's War, covered in lice and turning Burmese into vampires to suck the blood of the British"

"Well, it's Li Hongzhang who has his own opinion. I'll give you full authority over this matter, ask for money, ask for money, ask for someone to ask Zuo Zongtang to transport the captured Russian-made weapons to Yunnan. I want the British to "get" out of the way haha. Haha" Emperor Tongzhi was sitting on the couch like a child, dancing and going crazy, and several military ministers laughed along with him, and Li Guolou also pretended to be laughing like a maniac [

Weng Tong and his smug accompaniment laughed and stopped arguing with Li Hongzhang. His eyes shot at Li Guolou. He had already guessed where Li Hongzhang's idea came from. Overnight, Li Hongzhang turned from a traitor who signed a traitorous treaty to a national fighter. He will not be a man with his tail between his legs. The idea of ​​being a man makes him want to disapprove and act. The national interest can only watch Li Hongzhang come back to life. Li Hongzhang is like an unbeatable cockroach.

It seems that Li Hongzhang can't be defeated by the Ma Jiali case. He will find a way to win Li Guolou over. Li Guolou is at a young age and has a strong momentum. Even the upright Prince Qing just reprimanded a few words openly and would not write a letter to impeach Li Guolou.

Li Guolou raises concubines, accepts prostitutes, does not repair tents, makes friends carelessly, and has a vulgar style of talking. This has long been known to all women and children. After entering the officialdom for so long, he has not impeached Li Guo for this reason. Lou is a strange flower in the officialdom. Li Guolou is the role of the panacea and exquisite tumbler. Weng Tonghe gave Li Guolou a fierce look. Even he knew the names of several foreign women who were neither fish nor fowl. Yelia became the Virgin Mary, and was widely sung by the people of the Qing Dynasty.

Weng Tonghe can't think of a way to deal with Li Guolou. This is a national treasure of the Qing Dynasty. He can bring great wealth to the Qing Dynasty. He must be cherished.

"How did Li Guolou feel when he came to the Military Aircraft Department today?" Weng Tonghe habitually stroked his beard like an elder

"Students have been taught a class of patriotism here. The military culture is broad and profound. The students are superficial and almost made a joke. Go back and read more to make up for the missing corner." Li Guolou dared not sit down and answer. The others are just sitting and talking, he is not qualified enough, he can only be a student, listen to other people's opinions, even if he gives his opinions, he dare not speak out, he is not much better than Prince Chun, and he is careful not to let the Emperor Tongzhi see how smart he is

"Well, that's good. If you live up to the emperor's grace and do your job seriously, first manage the affairs of the Xinwu Army well, and then you can manage more military affairs in the future." Weng Tonghe didn't expose Li Guolou's old background. Everyone knows that Li Guolou is the dog head of the Westernization School. The Westernization Movement launched by Prince Gong, a military adviser, has undergone a qualitative leap since Li Guolou became a disciple. The image of Li Guolou has also been greatly improved. Instead, they rely on market operations and capital operations to make money, and they still work hard in the foreign concessions to return the money.

"Li Guolou, I asked you how many years the war in the Northwest will last. Tell me the truth." Emperor Tongzhi was a little anxious that the war in the Northwest would end soon. This is the largest expenditure allocated by the state and costs more than a year. Thousands of 800 million taels of silver. This is the figure on the books of the Ministry of War plus local fiscal expenditures. Half of the national income is spent on wars, and we have to borrow money from foreigners. The so-called militarism means that the country keeps fighting

"Qi, the emperor dare not judge rashly, but it will take at least two years, because Zuo Zongtang's strategy is to make progress slowly and quickly, that is, to manage a laid down place well before moving forward to the next goal. Although it is a bit slow, it is not bad. It will lead to a complicated situation where local forces surrender and then rebel. If the local forces surrendered to the Qing Dynasty earlier, the war "chaos" would have ended earlier. Zuo Zongtang is fighting a battle for the return of people's hearts. After coming back, the hearts of the Muslims in Xinjiang will also come back, otherwise the battles that will burn jade and stone will be more and more traumatic and self-destructive." Li Guolou told the truth that the Muslim uprising should be based on persuasion. Military suppression is also "forced". Forcing the separatist forces of the Hui people to submit to them, otherwise the campaign to recover Xinjiang will be met with tenacious resistance by the Hui people

"Oh, it still takes two years. I still have two years of hard life. I want you to go to the Northwest to temper it. It's for your own good. You didn't make money from the war." Emperor Tongzhi is like a child, not like a king of a country

"Even if the emperor makes a little money from the war, he still can't make ends meet. The Ministry of War supplies the Xinwu Army only enough to fill the gaps between the teeth. It never cares about the consumption of the war. We received four sets of military uniforms in a year, which seems to be a lot. Other troops receive once a year. They all have them, but the soldiers on the front line are dressed like beggars, not as powerful as they were in the military parade in the capital, not to mention that when the rainy season comes, all rusts can only be used as fire sticks. At first, the artillery was fired in unison, and later it became the era of cold weapons. Fighters in hand-to-hand combat are miserable and dedicate their lives to the motherland..." Li Guolou choked up and couldn't continue. This is a feeling, and he can't cry without pretending. The greatest skill of a warlord is to cry. free from vulgarity

Warlords can generate income if they have territory. The general army guards dangerous passes. Taxes accumulating over time are an astronomical sum. No warlord has ever paid taxes to the court. The ministers of military aircraft present here hold military power. No one would say that warlords are rich. Li Guolou cries and nods in approval. It is too reasonable to say that the country is poor and has to be handed over to Britain, Russia and other Western powers. War reparations cannot even be paid to soldiers on a monthly basis.

"Hey, I thought Zuo Zongtang was wasting time. Now I know. I won't build the palace for two years, and I won't choose beautiful women. I'm still young and I want to save my strength for the future." Emperor Tongzhi clenched his fists and made a vicious oath

"Emperor Shengming" A group of military ministers knelt on the ground together, thanking Emperor Tongzhi for not reducing the military expenditure of the Ministry of War

Li Hongzhang is quite satisfied with Li Guolou, let him show his skills to plan the blueprint of southern Xinjiang, and he can jump out of the ignorant layman from Gan in time. At the critical moment, let him reprimand Li Guolou as a junior who knows how to advance and retreat. If the employer respects him a foot, he will also support the younger generation Li Hongzhang asked: "Li Guolou, you fought in the Northwest, and you are called General Baisheng, how did you do it?"

Li Guolou's face turned red. He had never heard of this officer with a familiar name calling him "General Sudden", as if to praise his bravery and tenacity. Belittle him or praise him

Li Guolou bowed and saluted and said: "My lord Fu Xiang has praised me for making my subordinates feel ashamed in front of the emperor. How can I compare with you ministers? This little military achievement is insignificant. If it wasn't for my lord Fu Xiang's best weapon "medicine" to support Xinwu Principal Jun Weng has done a good job in the ideological work of the Xinwu Army. Without the trees planted by the predecessors, how can future generations enjoy the shade?

Without the care of Mr. Fu Xiang and the principal, Xiaguan could only go into battle with his shirtless to kill the enemy. Xiaguan is far from Baisheng, and death is very close. The helmet he was wearing was shot. Fortunately, Guan Gong blessed him.”

Hearing Li Guolou's praise for his ideological work, Weng Tonghe said happily: "Hey, Mr. Li Guolou, Mr. Fu Xiang, is asking you something. Don't involve me. The Xinwu Army has played triumphant songs all the way. I'm happy for you. It's too early to tell you who you are." Where did the title of General Bai Sheng who fought in battle come from hehehehe”[

Li Guolou cannot refute the title given to him by Li Hongzhang and Weng Tonghe. "General Baisheng" is a step up from General Changsheng. He deserves this title.

Li Guolou said boldly: "Although I am not from the army, I am good at summarizing the experience of the predecessors. The most difficult thing in the war is the ideological work of the soldiers, not how many enemies there are. Excellent weapons and equipment are not absolute. Knowing that you will die and you are willing to dedicate your youth to the motherland, even if you let the person who carries the bird cage in the teahouse, you let him go to the battlefield for the sake of your father. No matter how hard or tired you are in normal drills, there is still a lair where you can sleep and fight outside. There is no fart. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of an army depends on long-term ideological work. Precepts and deeds are the most important. I only do one thing in the army and that is to educate my mind in ideological work. In fact, I am a layman in war. I am learning while making progress, comprehending the essence of Napoleon's tactics, understanding the characteristics of hot weapons, and formulating a practical combat mode. Under this mode It takes fighting to win the title of General of Victory, even if you meet the British army with [-] horsemen, you can compete with the same number of British troops. Of course, it is only limited to land, if you use cavalry tactics to cooperate with the army, the chance of winning is more than [-]%."

The few military ministers in the office who were drinking tea in the office exclaimed in surprise. Li Guolou's bragging was too big, and Li Hongzhang couldn't save face. Isn't this a slap in the face? He said anxiously: "Li Guolou, you are talking big 』Talk about how the Qing Dynasty could go to war with the British.”

Li Guolou smiled awkwardly and said, "My lord, Mr. Fu, I have [-] new soldiers. I am Han Xin. The more the better."

"Oh..." everyone woke up from the dream that Li Guolou was building momentum for the Xinwu Army and wanted to expand the Xinwu Army, so he talked nonsense, so it's not surprising that everyone can show their capabilities. The military has a [-]-strong establishment, and the money allocated by the military department is only enough to buy swords and spears. From the [-] horses, [-] elite soldiers have been trained. How is this different from other armies?

Emperor Tongzhi grew up in the sycophancy, but he boasted that he was stronger than the British army. He also met a man in the court who said a few big words, and he was scolded by several military ministers. The official hat is not guaranteed. Today, several military ministers are quite happy, explaining that Li Guolou can really take on the big responsibility. He really is General Yusheng. Several ministers of military aircraft reviewed a few papers and then left the military aircraft department. The newcomer really had a new look. The emperor of Tongzhi stopped talking about "sex" and said, "Li Guolou, you are too full of words." The British army is the most powerful army in the world, and our Qing army is only ranked sixth in the world, so there is still a gap.”

Li Guolou's expression was stern, as if he was an awe-inspiring and inviolable loyal minister, and he said slowly: "I don't dare to lie to the emperor. The establishment of the British army is already under the control of the minister. I will report to the emperor the British army that I have mastered." Case"

Prince Gong couldn't hold back his face and kept being a nodding tumbler. It's not easy. Li Guolou actually started intelligence work. Isn't this to steal his credit? Can't stop interjecting: "Li Guolou, don't mislead the emperor. The numbers written in the newspapers are more bragging than the truth, and the situation is less, don't just talk about it on paper."

Seeing Prince Gong's enthusiasm for attacking Li Guolou, Emperor Tongzhi was not happy, waved his arm and shouted: "Li Guolou, you just speak out, it's a crime."

I almost forgot about Li Guolou's apologetic look at Prince Gong. It's not that he doesn't report to his master, but that he has this obligation at all. And the information on the British army he has is not a secret, but can be collected with a little effort.
