late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 700 The Military Meeting in Mazu Temple

The mazu temple is majestic and majestic. More than 100 monks and monks gather here to pray to Buddha and chant sutras to save the Qing army who died in battle.

Before the banquet begins, there will be a verbal confrontation to resolve the conflict between the three parties. Otherwise, the soldiers will dare to say anything stupid during the banquet, and it will hurt the feelings of the brothers and troops.

Li Guolou, Lieutenant General Li Yun, Liu Mingchuan, Lieutenant Ma Haiyan, Liu Mingdeng, and Deputy General Fu Xianchu must fight for their own interests.

Just came to Taiwan not long ago to catch up with the Battle of Orchid City, Vice General Xu Wenxiu of the Min Army Commander Xu Yuang also wanted to join in the fun. They wanted to ask Li Guolou for a reward

Mingwu Army and Jianwu Army obtained millions of silver dollars from Li Guolou, and Xu Yuang also obtained 20 silver dollars from Li Guolou

Fighting is difficult for one side. Supporting an army from all directions requires the support of the Ministry of War, provincial capitals, and financial groups in addition to local financial support in the jurisdiction.

The one who contributed the most to the Taiwan campaign was Fujian Governor Ding Richang, who devoted all his province's efforts to support the people of Taiwan. All the taxes in a province were used for the war, and he also borrowed 500 million silver dollars from "Please Come to the Bank"

The consortium is "Please Come to the Bank" controlled by Li Guolou. Li Guolou has invested 500 million yuan in the Taiwan War. With this money, he has re-armed the Qing army from all walks of life and won the hearts of the people in Taiwan.

With Li Guolou's full support for the people of Taiwan, the Taiwan minority uprising against the brutal rule of the Qing Dynasty was ignited and soon extinguished [

These warlords will speak ill of Li Guolou behind his back

"Embroidered Pillow with a Pack of Grass"

"How can you understand military affairs if you don't even have hair?"

But these warlords knew in their hearts that without Li Guolou's support, the Taiwan War would not have gone so smoothly. In less than half a year, more than 3 elite Japanese troops were wiped out.

Li Guolou's outstanding military exploits won the love of the soldiers of the Qing army, which makes people believe that a general like Liu Mingchuan will respect Li Guolou in words and deeds

A group of eight people entered the Qisheng Temple, Li Guolou calmed down and sat in the center. Eight high-ranking officials and men looked like dogs, each with their own ghosts. After the guards served tea, the eight people took a sip of tea to moisten their throats, and started a fierce battle.

Li Yunzhang was very young, holding back his anger and fired the first shot: "Big Liu Zhentai, I'm sorry, you must know that attacking Langqiao Port requires both water and land. This military plan has been negotiated a long time ago. I have discussed the action plan with Shen Baozhen long ago. Why do you do it yourself? Talk about sending Nie Shicheng to attack Langqiao Port"

Liu Mingchuan coughed and didn't respond. Little people like Li Yunzhu used to be his students. He didn't need to waste his words, and someone would smooth things over for him.

Adjutant Ma Haiyan is tall and tall, only in his early thirties, and has a mustache. In the past, he was also an instructor of the Xinwu Hall. He watched Li Yunchui become a talent step by step, and was reused by Li Guolou. Looking down on Li Yun, the official Yun Hengtong raised his eyes and said: "Li Yun, our Mingwu Army and Xinwu Army are connected by flesh and blood, why should we divide each other's students into one student?"

Li Yunchao was short for a while, bowed his head and drank tea, and dared not make a sound. Liu Mingchuan is also his teacher, and he has no right to speak here.

Li Guolou had expected this kind of scene a long time ago, Li Yunchuang is still too young to compete with these old foxes, it will take years of tempering, he has seen the generals under Zuo Zongtang in the Northwest who do not belong to each other and said Turn your face, turn your face

Li Guolou calmly drank tea and turned his head to Liu Mingdeng

Liu Mingdeng is equally impatient. The Jianwu Army is the master of Taiwan. He should make more contributions to regain Taiwan's lost land. He has always regarded the Jianwu Army as a partial division since Li Guolou came to Taiwan. The Wu army only "burned Paijiaya" to make him elated once, but this is not enough to make up for the felony he lost his country. The national humiliation is the liberation of Langqiao Port he brought to the Qing Dynasty. The battle of the Jianwu Army proved its ability. be the death squad

Regardless of his identity, Liu Mingdeng chanted. The Zen official knelt down in front of Li Guolou with one leg, bowed his head and bowed: "Commander Li, please fulfill me. Let Jianwu's military exploits hit Langqiao Hong Kong, otherwise I will die. I guarantee that I will die in a month Let Commander Li take a look at the combat effectiveness of the Jianwu Army."

Before Li Guolou could reply, Liu Mingchuan stood up and yelled angrily: "My good brother, the Japanese army in Guishan is a hard bone, and there are tens of thousands of Japanese troops. If you don't guard the defense line, the Japanese army will break through the lock deployed by Commander Li!" Didn’t the city tactics fall short? You have to distinguish between priorities and don’t destroy the Great Wall” [

Adjutant Ma Haiyan "cut in" and said: "My Mingwu Army won't take Langqiao Port in a month, at most 20 days. I dare to write a military order here. Commander Li, just wait for the good news."

Deputy General Xu Wenxiu of the Min Army couldn't hold back and shouted: "Commander Li, give me the forts along the Hengchun River. I promise to completely wipe out the Japanese forts within ten days. No one is better at dealing with Japanese artillery than I am."

This time Li Yun caught up in a hurry and stood up and said solemnly: "General Li commanded the Xinwu Army with [-] officers and soldiers on standby. All of them are waiting for the battle after finishing the rest. Don't talk big, let the Xinwu Army attack Langqiao Port for me. Fifteen days is enough to ensure that the stubborn enemy can be wiped out at the lowest cost."

In the Qisheng Temple, swords and crossbows were drawn, and the seven generals all looked at Li Guolou, but they saw that Li Guolou was no longer as graceful and magnanimous as he was just now.

Li Guolou sighed and waved his hand and said: "Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient. Please sit down and talk. Originally, everyone was not in charge of each other, and there was some communication difficulties. Now it is so noisy. Isn't it going to bomb the camp? I know I am not as good as Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang. Convincing everyone, I made no mistakes in the tactical deployment, and I have been winning battles, but you still want to fight for success, where will I be placed?"

Seeing Li Guolou's expression, the seven generals all sat down and stopped arguing

Liu Mingchuan knew that Li Guolou's "nature" was a sinister expression. Li Guolou was not a kind person. He wanted to muddy the water and confide the truth on purpose: "Commander Li, we are not bad, and we have something to report to you. Let’s talk about the contradiction first, let’s put it on the table and say it’s not like some people secretly complained to Prince Gong and took away the command of the Great Qingshui Division. People who are still bragging about their military exploits are the most shameful people, don’t you think?”

"Well, let's not talk about the past, it's better for us to solve our own problems and drink early." Li Guolou still smirked and picked up the teacup calmly, but his chest felt like being pricked by a needle, and his heart couldn't help but tingle

After Shen Baozhen obtained the command of the Qingshui Division with his old qualifications, Shen Baozhen won the Langqiao Hong Kong victory. The command of the Qingshui Division was not returned to him. The command of the Taiwan Commander-in-Chief of the Qingshui Division is no longer in his hands

This is also a sign that Li Hongzhang wants to take over his military power. Several military ministers in the Military Aircraft Department can't see him soaring into the sky. Several warlords with backgrounds have already begun not to listen to Li Guolou's words.

If the Taiwan War continues like this, Li Guolou will sooner or later be forced to replace the commander in chief of Taiwan. The time is not far away. Li Guolou feels resentful but feels helpless

Who said these commanders were not promoted by Li Guolou?

It will take ten years to win the hearts of the army. Baoding Military Academy will be Li Guolou's sphere of influence. After returning to Beijing, he will have to work hard at Baoding Military Academy until it is established. All the warlords in the Qing Army Town will be his students. It will take another ten years. careful cultivation of

Li Guolou draws inferences from one instance and thinks far-reaching than sticking to a corner of Taiwan

Li Guolou was thinking about Liu Mingdeng's actions just now. Liu Mingdeng knelt on one leg as if showing his loyalty, but he implied that he was loyal to him.

After Shen Ning, Li Guolou said: "Everyone is right, and my original strategic deployment is also correct. Since everyone wants to make contributions, they must take a step back and redeploy their troops. Since Nie Shicheng's troops have already been dispatched, there is no need to come back. As the main force attacking the forts along the Hengchun River, Liu Liumazi, give me some face and don't take the battle of Langqiao Harbor."

Liu Mingchuan glanced at Li Guolou The battle in Taiwan made the two of them abandon their previous suspicions, and cooperate with each other. Taiwan is full of waste. In the future, there are many places where Li Guolou will be used. Take a step back.

"Okay, I'll give you face in the battle against Langqiao Port. The Mingwu Army can serve as a partial division to cooperate with other brother troops." Liu Mingchuan didn't say anything, but he still wanted to get something for nothing. You must know that Langqiao Port is a distribution center for Japanese military supplies, hoarding a lot of strategic materials and more than 100 fast sailing ships. The audience has a share, which time is he missing?

Li Guolou showed a gratified expression and nodded, "Well, I am very pleased that Liu Zhentai is high-spirited and upright, and I am very grateful to Xiao Liu Zhentai. The important task of attacking Langqiao Port is entrusted to you, let Min Jun cooperate with you."

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief Li, I will definitely take down Langqiao Port to make amends." Liu Mingdeng, like a rough man, accepted his head again and thanked Li Guolou for expressing his determination with full confidence.

The meaning of it can be understood by others, all of them showed disdainful expressions

Li Yunzhu is dejected. It seems that the Xinwu Army is still building fortresses in the Guishan area and slowly entering the hinterland of Guishan. everywhere

Li Guolou looked around at the generals and said: "The poor traffic in the land of birth makes it difficult for us to deploy troops. We will use more soldiers. In the future, there will be troubles in the future. After driving the tigers, there will be hidden dangers of smoldering fires. We still have to use our own troops. We will fight in Taiwan. Learn from Zuo Zongtang's method while fighting while building roads. After the roads are unblocked, the local economy will also rise to a higher level. Soldiers must also contribute to the local economy. Next, each army will build more roads. Only with roads can the artillery of our army play a role in the lives of the people in Taiwan. To improve and kill two birds with one stone is the mission entrusted to us by history.”

Liu Mingchuan was happy to hear that Li Guolou was planning for Taiwan's agriculture and business with his experience in invigorating the economy, and nodded frequently: "Commander Li is thoughtful and thoughtful. Let the Japanese army be safe"

As for the funds needed for road construction, it is the same as the rewards of the Qing army from all walks of life

Liu Mingdeng echoed: "I am also in favor of road construction. Now that the enemy has become a turtle in the urn, I am afraid that the enemy will jump over the wall and become a rogue. Therefore, the defense of the fortresses is the top priority. There must be no slack in training soldiers to fight in the mountains and prepare for the next spring offensive. Let the Japanese army be the king of the mountain in Guishan. In my opinion, the Japanese army will definitely attack our fortress and lock the city if they still have the strength to spare.”

Li Guolou nodded and said: "Xiao Liu Zhentai is right. Next time we attack Guishan, we will encounter many difficult problems, but we have to lead the enemy by the nose. The first task is to let the mountain people leave their habitats and not allow massacres. People's hearts are going to extremes, even a mountain dweller has to be taken out of the mountain for me, arrange the life of these mountain dwellers, and be more vicious when escorting them, so they can be tied up so that no one can escape Li Yunzhu, do you hear me clearly?"

Li Yunxuan scratched his head. The real difficulties are very difficult to imagine. The officers and soldiers on the front line are exhausted physically and mentally. Qiuhao committed the countermeasure plan of relocating the mountain people near Guishan to the Japanese army, and the staff has thought of five ways."

Li Guolou jumped up and waved his hands: "Let's watch the sand table show."

The other seven people followed closely behind and stood around the sand table to listen to Li Yunchu's explanation.

Li Yunchu's rapid promotion not only depends on the blood relationship of Li's clan, but also his extraordinary military talent to be appreciated by Li Guolou. Now that he is showing his talent, it is reasonable and well-founded. According to the thinking of the Japanese army, he is plotting a lot of tricks and making everyone look at him.

Liu Mingchuan appreciates Li Yunchu's talent and Li Yunchu is also his beloved disciple. Hearing the applause of Jijie, he is secretly jealous of Li Guolou's life of a good woman and his disciples' double harvest.

Liu Mingdeng is also jealously looking down on Li Guolou, he has no such talents under his command. It seems that relying on the Jianwu Army mechanism to cultivate military talents can no longer keep up with the pace of the times. It is time to send people to the new martial arts hall to study and communicate with Li Guolou more. how close you are to formally worship under li guolou

The generals and officers eat lunch next to the sand table and talk freely while eating, regardless of age, grade or food

During the war, the soldiers were so united and full of vigor, like orchids, they were as tall and bright
