late Qing Dynasty arrest

There are more than 100 foreign business delegations and local officials from Shandong. They want to visit Zaozhuang. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, more than 60 people are hired.

Li Guolou, Bai Langning and other officers of the Changsheng Army held a meeting and reported the latest situation of the Lincheng kidnapping case.

The next day, Li Guolou led [-] new armed forces to Lincheng. Li Guolou also borrowed [-] long men from the admiral Yulu of Dagukou to transport supplies, including [-] Dagukou artillerymen. The military officers were mixed with the long men so that the Dagukou soldiers could leave the fort. The quartermaster Hongdu was entrusted with the important task of commanding the long men. Now the Xinwu army has become stronger and stronger, and can fight to the death with the [-] Lincheng garrison.

Bai Langning is not stupid. Li Hongzhang asked the Changsheng Army to be under the command of Li Guolou, in order to serve Li Guolou with loyalty and blood. The Changsheng Army under his command needs to rely on a strong man. If you take refuge in Li Guolou at this time, you will be considered retired in the future. He can also find a good job in the Li Group, so this time, his troops took the lead, and five hundred soldiers from the Vanguard Battalion were ready to die for the Qing Dynasty at any time.

The Changsheng Army is really different. They beat the army drums during the march to pay tribute to the Xinwu Army's battle flags held high. As a professional soldier, it is a bit expensive. The annual salary of the Eight Banners elite soldiers is 36 taels of silver. Four stones of rice, these incomes are enough for a family to live a life of worrying about food and clothing, and the sergeants of this ever-victorious army earn [-]% more than the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners. The weapons and equipment are the most advanced British equipment, and they need to spend a huge amount of money on daily training. Funds, these investments are enough to support ten Lincheng garrison troops, so Li Guolou is not in favor of disbanding this ever-victorious army. The Ministry of War hired this foreign gun team at such a high price, and it has been trained as an elite soldier. Now disband this army , For the benefit of the Qing Dynasty, the Ever Victorious Army must make the best use of its resources and fight to the death for the country.

At this time, Li Guolou regarded this army carrying the banner of the Xinwu Army as his own, and wanted this army to fight bravely and rush to the forefront, but on the surface, he still praised the Ever Victorious Army and praised Browning Well trained.

Along the way, the people lined the road to welcome the Xinwu Army. They were full of curiosity about the officers with high noses and blue eyes. The people rushed to witness the style of the Xinwu Army. Where exactly is Li Guolou?

The cavalry of the Xinwu Army dragged the cannon carts, which were covered with collodion raincloth, and passed the street majesticly. The thirty artillery carts passed by, and there were also large carriages wrapped tightly. The soldiers of the Xinwu Army were murderous. Teng Teng, this terrified the Sun Brothers' spies. This is the vanguard of the Xinwu Army. The Xinwu Army has a strong fighting force. The Sun Brothers' spies immediately passed on the news that [-] Xinwu troops were stationed in Qi villages and towns.

Until now, the Xinwu Army is the closest army to Xuancheng. The other three armies only sent a few sentries to investigate the situation in Lincheng. Sentry riders are people who pretend to be ordinary people. They want to sneak into Zaozhuang, Xuancheng and other places, but they are all seen through by the Sun brothers. Supporting the Sun brothers' feat, there was a wave of refugees in the local area, and the common people lived their lives as usual, thinking that they would not fight, waiting to see the Qing court make concessions to the Sun brothers.

As soon as the Xinwu army fired a shot, it entered Qi villages and towns. The two opposing sides seemed to have reached an agreement. Does Li Guolou know how to repay his kindness?

Li Guolou sat in an ordinary carriage and entered Qicun Town. Most of the town had been emptied and turned into a military camp. He entered a watchtower lined with sentries, held a pre-war mobilization meeting, unified thinking, and implemented "promoting peace through war" decision.

Li Guolou's words were solid, and the generals put aside their unrealistic illusions, and prepared to take back Lincheng by force. First, they took over the old nest of the Sun brothers. Governor Zhang Renjun took it seriously, since Li Guolou, the general of the Xinwu Army, was determined to fight, no one dared to speak against him.

The military order fell like a mountain, and Bai Langning received the order to prepare to attack the Sun brothers' stronghold Yong'an Township early tomorrow morning, and fight a small-scale battle to see how the Sun brothers' armed forces and combat effectiveness are.

Browning returned to the camp to do the final pre-war mobilization. He was very happy to have a place to use. The Changsheng Division has been fighting for more than three years. This time he got a striker, which shows that Li Guolou thinks highly of him. His rank is second rank. A military officer, but how many people in this official hat can't stand him, 2000 people are considered the title of commander, and only foreigners with high noses have this honor.

Bai Langning knew how much he was worth, so he didn't dare to pretend to be powerful in front of Li Guolou. He arranged tactics very seriously, and wanted to fight a good battle so that the Xinwu Army could see Chang Sheng. I am very dissatisfied with Li Guolou for not being able to raise the glorious battle flag of "Ever Victory". How can "Xinwu" compare with "Eternal Victory"? No wonder he is willing to fight to the end for the "Xinwu" battle flag.
