The defeated Japanese army and rebels escaped from Lanhua City and fled towards Langqiao Port.Unorganized soldiers did not dare to flee along the avenue for fear of being ambushed by the Qing army.Instead, they ran around in the wilderness, and the Japanese soldiers who could swim waded across the small river, even throwing away their weapons.

Some Japanese soldiers who couldn't swim could only bite the bullet and try to cross the bridge.Along the main roads, they were blocked by ambushes of the Qing army, and the Japanese army, already ready to fight, would be defeated at the first touch, and they all went to the jungle and bushes.

As night was approaching, Lieutenant General Nie Shicheng accepted him as soon as he saw him, and he refused to chase the Japanese army in the dark, allowing three or four hundred Japanese troops to escape.

After the Qing army occupied Orchid City, Langqiao Port was completely exposed to the Qing army's front. The Japanese fort at the estuary of the Hengchun River was also within the attack range of the Qing army. The Japanese navy was not far from being wiped out.

Nie Shicheng successfully completed the blocking mission and wiped out more than 1000 enemies. He ordered the bugle player to sound the rallying call.

In the night, the melodious sound of bugles echoed in the wilderness, and the various Qing troops moved closer to the Chinese army, no longer attacking everywhere.Nie Shicheng opened a kit that Liu Ming had passed to him, but saw that there was a military order in the kit.

Letter: Gather troops and tentatively attack the fort at the mouth of the Hengchun River.

Nie Shicheng smiled, Liu Mingchuan was unwilling to obey Li Guolou's tactical deployment, and asked him to lead an army of three thousand Mingwu troops to attack proactively.The so-called military orders abroad are not accepted. Since his troops are closest to the Hengchun River Fort, there is no need to mobilize Li Guolou's direct descendants of the Xinwu Army.

Nie Shicheng led three thousand Mingwu troops to set off overnight, including three battalions of cavalry. Nie Shicheng marched eastward in two ways, and soon disappeared into the wilderness. [

At this time, Li Guolou, four miles away from Orchid City, was studying the battle reports from various troops. He was pleased that Liu Mingchuan could capture Orchid City within a day.The huge sand table is covered with signs.Li Guolou was still praising Liu Mingchuan as a fierce general, but he didn't know that Liu Mingchuan had slapped him.

Liu Mingchuan let out a hearty laugh, and couldn't help laughing: "Commander Li, swords and guns don't have eyes, you are here to command, and you are not allowed to enter Lanhua City without my invitation. I will enter the city first to serve as an outpost for you, and kill all of you." Japanese ninja."

"Well, I'll give you a day to clean up military discipline, and I will definitely enter the city the day after tomorrow." Li Guolou was rather helpless, and watched Liu Mingchuan leave, and was left outside the city again by Liu Mingchuan.Li Guolou looked at the sand table alone, ignoring what would happen in Orchid City in a day?

The earth-shaking changes in Orchid City will always return to calm.Li Guolou sat on the ground, his heart still like water, imagining the scene of gunfire in Langqiao Harbor in his mind, immersed in self-indulgence.

On the third day, Li Guolou was invited by Liu Mingchuan, and the horse team entered the Orchid City to participate in the sacrificial activities.

Along the way, a large number of Qing troops greeted Li Guolou, and the Fanbing armed with guns stood on both sides of the avenue in a neat and orderly manner.

There are all kinds of banners, and the end can't be seen at a glance. The winners are inspected by Li Guolou, and the soldiers stare wide-eyed, looking excitedly at the "man of God" in their hearts.

Li Guolou rode his horse and whipped his whip, followed by a group of generals, Li Guolou's direct line generals sat on both sides.

The newly promoted lieutenant general Li Yunchu, who followed Li Guolou, had the domineering aura of no one else.Li Guolou was busy with official duties and was not usually in the barracks. The Xinwu Army had two townships. In the future, Magukou, an important military town, would be controlled by him.

Li Yunxuan didn't need to look back, he knew that there were jealous eyes behind him, that the lieutenant general was the rank of General Fu, and he held the position of lieutenant general before he was 20 years old, which was the only one in the Qing Dynasty.His background is Li Hongzhang and Li Guolou. He is a rising star of the Li family, and his promotion speed is comparable to that of a rocket.

The senior generals of the Jianwu Army were also among them. How could Liu Mingdeng be willing to build a blockhouse willingly? He wrote a letter asking for a battle, intending to lead the main force of the [-] Xinwu Army to attack Langqiao Port.

Every general wanted to make meritorious service in Taiwan, and the pattern of three men competing for merit gave Li Guolou quite a headache.The disadvantages of the powerful radio stations in the Qing army from all walks of life were highlighted. Liu Mingdeng and Liu Chuanming talked to themselves and brought internal conflicts to the military aircraft. Where should they be placed?

Liu Mingdeng and Liu Mingchuan have already achieved fame and success, forming a school of their own, Li Guolou couldn't convince the two old soldiers.The Battle of Langqiao Port was the last battle of the Qing Army's Autumn Campaign, and all three armies wanted to make contributions.

Liu Mingchuan got the moon first when he was close to the water. After the Mingwu Army took back the Orchid City, the Mingwu Army took the initiative to attack.Liu Mingchuan asked Nie Shicheng to lead [-] Mingwu troops to advance towards Langqiao Port. After hearing the news, [-] soldiers moved and followed Nie Shicheng to fight. Such a major military action plan was not reported to Li Guolou.

Afterwards, Liu Mingchuan euphemistically said: Take the initiative, look for fighter opportunities in the wild, and wipe out the vital forces of the Japanese army. [

Li Guolou lamented that he was still too young to convince the public.Liu Mingchuan claims to be his confidant, but he is not afraid of him. The truth becomes clearer as he debates it. Instead, he advises him to follow the good advice.

Li Guolou has too many sins, and the military plan can be revised. Once changed and revised again, everyone will work together to come up with a proper plan to meet some of the requirements of Liu Mingdeng and Liu Mingchuan. We cannot only think of the interests of the new armed forces.

Regardless of the many conflicts between Li Guolou, Liu Mingdeng, and Liu Mingchuan, everyone has their own selfishness.But the friendship developed on the battlefield allowed the three to join hands in cooperation, and they would not hold grudges even if they abused each other.

Li Guolou showed great respect for Liu Mingdeng who came to the Orchid City to fight for success. The two walked side by side, talking and laughing happily.

A cavalry team of more than 300 people came to the gate of the city, and the mighty and majestic entry ceremony began. Liu Mingchuan led a group of generals to stand at the gate of the city to welcome Li Guolou, Liu Mingdeng and others.

At this time, Liu Mingchuan and Liu Mingdeng had equivalent official positions, both with the rank of general soldier.In order to show respect, they cannot be called by their first names, but can only be called Da Liu Zhentai and Xiao Liu Zhentai.

In terms of military exploits, Liu Ming passed it on.When the Huai army eliminated Dong Nian, Liu Mingchuan commanded the battle on the front line. Li Hongzhang was the commander and did not fight on the front line.

In terms of territory, Liu Mingdeng is big.Taiwan Island and the Penghu Islands are all under Liu Mingdeng's sphere of influence, including those places of birth in eastern Taiwan, which are nominally under Liu Mingdeng's jurisdiction.

In terms of power, Liu Mingchuan is the person to succeed Liu Mingdeng. In the future, Taiwan will change from a town in Fujian to the No. 14 province of the Qing Dynasty. Liu Mingchuan will be the governor of Taiwan in the future, and he will be a prince along the way, with great power.

In the final analysis, this is a game of chess, a contest between Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang.

Fujian (including Taiwan) was originally Zuo Zongtang's sphere of influence, but Zuo Zongtang's economy was not doing well, Taiwan was too poor and backward, and Liu Mingdeng's Jianwu Army was still using red cannons and old-fashioned flintlock guns.

Fighting is burning money, and it is no longer the era of shirtless battles. The warlord with the most financial resources in the world is Li Hongzhang.After the war in Taiwan broke out, Li Hongzhang took advantage of it. Li Guolou was Li Hongzhang's money-scattering boy. Liu Mingdeng's Jianwu Army relied on Li Guolou's financial resources to rearm, so that the Jianwu Army could compete with the Japanese army.

A flintlock cannot compete with a rifled gun, and bravery depends on heritage. The nineteenth century, which is changing rapidly, has come to the industrial age.Now Liu Mingdeng's Jianwu Army has changed their shotguns, wanting to prove their worth in the next battle.

Liu Mingdeng jumped off the horse first, and said with a pleasant smile: "Brother Liu, the younger brother came uninvited, are you welcome?"

"Why don't you welcome me if you can come? Brother, didn't you come to pick you up in person?" Liu Mingchuan laughed heartily, then looked up and down, and hugged each other, like long-lost brothers reuniting.

Li Guolou jumped off the horse, his face slightly moved, with a smile on his lips, secretly slandering the two of them.Both of them were telling lies in front of him, and now they seemed to be wearing a pair of crotch pants, the generals had the thickest skin, the number one in the world.

Although people are not afraid of him, Li Guolou still treats him with a serious face. The consequences of offending him are very serious, and he has to bear the consequences of deduction of military pay, and his military achievements will also be wiped out by him.

Liu Mingchuan and Li Guolou have been fighting each other for three years, how can they not know Li Guolou's small belly?Seeing Li Guolou's stinky face, he knew that Li Guolou's dark psychology was at work.

Liu Mingchuan took a few steps forward, took the initiative to stretch out his big hand, held Li Guolou's hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Commander Li is welcome to Lanhua City, and you are here. For this day to come, the Chinese men have shed blood on the battlefield and sacrificed a lot Commander Li, you must keep your promise."

Liu Mingdeng ran to Orchid City to compete with Liu Mingchuan, but on the surface the two pretended to be snakes, hugging each other passionately like long-lost brothers, and the only thing missing was the Western kiss.

Surrounded by expectant faces, how could Li Guolou be led by the nose by Liu Mingchuan?He said very tactfully: "Don't worry, Da Liu Zhentai. I keep my word. I have reported the situation of the battle in Orchid City to the emperor. You are all meritorious ministers and will be rewarded by the court."

Liu Mingdeng said with a smile: "Hey! Commander Li, you are the God of Wealth in the Qing Dynasty, and you are always required to pay the silver dollars for rewarding the three armies.

Li Guolou was so angry that he treated him like a marionette and let others manipulate him casually.Li Guolou didn't let Liu Ming's rumor go on, and said, "Da Liu is on the stage, talking about money hurts feelings, so we can talk about it in the city. Please!"

Satisfied, Liu Mingchuan held his head high and gestured to the guard of honor.Li Guolou is like a big girl, coy, toast a few more glasses of wine later, and everything will be settled. How can brothers have overnight feuds?

The city wall was full of Qing troops, drums were beating to cheer, bugles were loud and loud, and majestic and loud military songs sounded.

"Chinese man, Chinese man, put one hand up to the sky.

The Yangtze River, the east of Asia, the towering Kunlun, the majestic Great Wall, the land of abundance, take many macros.

The gods of the Yellow Emperor, the wind, the tiger, the cloud and the dragon, all nations come together, I am the proud son of heaven!

The wolves run and the tigers attack, the sun is setting and the road is poor, and the road ahead is looking for a way out!

Chinese man, Chinese man, why not go forward bravely!A sleeping lion for a thousand years, a sleeping lion for a thousand years, one man raises his arms and ten thousand men are strong.

I have a treasured sword, and I am generous to serve in the army.Hit the middle stream of the oars, the wind is strong, the decisive victory on the battlefield, the breath penetrates Changhong.

How many strange husbands in ancient and modern times, with broken heads and yellow dust, swallowed hard work, and the blood is still bright red to this day! "

Amidst the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, Japanese battle flags were thrown down from the top of the city, and the Qing army stepped on the Japanese military flags and entered Lanhua City.

Mazu Temple, commonly known as Tianhou Temple, was built in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.Located on the west bank of Sancha River Estuary at the east gate of Orchid City, in the middle of Guhua Street, facing east from west, it covers an area of ​​5000 square meters, with a construction area of ​​1700 square meters. It is composed of Fengwei Hall, Sutra Pavilion, Qisheng Temple, Bell and Drum Tower, Zhangxian Pavilion and 4 supporting halls.Towering ancient trees, beautiful scenery, stone lion town gate, and flying eaves, it is an ancient building full of Chinese cultural characteristics.

Mazu is a god believed by the islanders, and a god believed by boatmen, sailors, travelers, businessmen and fishermen throughout the ages.In ancient times, sailing at sea was often attacked by wind and waves, and the ship sank and people died. The safety of the crew became the main problem for the navigators. They pinned their hopes on the blessing of the gods.Before the ship sets sail, it is necessary to offer sacrifices to the concubine Tian to pray for good wind and safety, and to enshrine the concubine Tian on the ship.

Mazu is the god of the sea worshiped by all ethnic groups.

Japan is a big Buddhist country. After it invaded Taiwan, it did not destroy the Mazu Temple.When Fanbing attacked Lanhua City, they did not set fire to the Matsu Temple, but instead sent troops to protect the ancient buildings here.The Mazu Temple in Orchid City is well preserved, and the enemy and the enemy do not fight near the Mazu Temple, which allows this century-old temple to survive.

Usually the Qing army likes to sit in the Guandi Temple when fighting, and Guandi is revered as the protector of the Qing army.However, there were two Guandi temples in Lanhua City, which were demolished by the Japanese army long ago.

Today, the headquarters of the Qing army is located in the Mazu Temple. After entering the temple, the generals first worship Mazu and their dead comrades.

Li Guolou was the first to light three sticks of incense, and knelt on the futon very piously. The gods bless him, and he has today's situation. He looks forward to regaining Taiwan's lost land as soon as possible, and returning the Qing Dynasty to a peaceful world.

The bright and handsome Li Guolou stands out among the rebellious warriors, and his commander-in-chief demeanor makes people admire him.

Everyone knelt on the bluestone, remembering the dead comrades in arms, and the Mazu Temple was immersed in mourning.
