In the temporary tent, full of coffins, Li Guolou lit an ever-bright lamp, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces, tears flowed down his eyes.

Sword Arirang, Arrow Yang Cong, Fu Guozhong, Insulation, Jue Xing, He Zhuzi, Yang Jingwei, Yan Bin, so many comrades-in-arms, lying quietly in front of them, this kind of heartache is irreversible, making people cry silently.

For the morale of the army, Li Guolou had to control his emotions in front of everyone and showed perseverance and courage, but when no one was around, he was about to collapse, such a major decision, he made a final decision, and concealed the battle plan from the military department, insomnia kept him awake at night, how many times did he want to give up Hualien Town.

But in the end, he still persevered, if he didn't have the courage to fight, how could he talk about recovering the country, he won the victory, and no matter how heavy the casualties were, it was worth it.

Li Guolou muttered to himself: "Thank you for your trust, I will not let you down, I brought you to Taiwan, and when I go back, I will definitely bring you back??????"

Li Guolou was so choked that he couldn't speak, and he was alone in front of the coffin, guarding the spirits of his comrades.

When a touch of morning light shines through the thick clouds, a trace of mist in the air gradually dissipates, the sun shines on the earth, when a flock of birds return to this hot land of the motherland, soaring freely in the sky, when a soldier stands on the land of the motherland, greets the red sun, showing a proud heroic posture.

Li Guolou stepped on the high slope, overlooking the entire Hualien Town, so many lovely people paid their blood in exchange for victory, Li Guolou ignited his fighting spirit, gave up his family for the country, abandoned a comfortable life, and continued to fight, there is still a big battle in the Dashimizu Division, this time he wants to regain the control of the sea, let the Japanese Navy know what it means to be resolute and resolute, for the treasure island of the motherland, the Chinese man is not afraid of death.

In the morning, Li Guolou held a military meeting with Liu Mingchuan, Li Yunzhuo, Nie Shicheng, Luo Shidai and others to formulate a plan for the army.

Li Guolou's strategy was to divide his troops into two routes, trap the Japanese army in Guishan, and recapture the Langqiao deep-water port controlled by the Japanese army.

Attacking Langqiao by land, the main force of the Qing army was under the command of Liu Mingchuan.

Liu Mingchuan looked domineering, looked around at the officers around, and stroked his beard very confidently, Li Guolou didn't need him, who else could he use.

Everyone had no objection to Liu Mingchuan's command ability, and the plan for planning the Langqiao Battle was quickly adopted.

Li Yunchu led more than 10,000 soldiers and a new army to contain the Japanese army in Guishan.

When Luo Shidai, the Tusi of the Beidong tribe, heard that Li Guolou was leaving, he peeked at Li Yunzhuo, and he despised the young Li Yunzhuo a little, and let out a cold snort in his nose.

Now all the soldiers are under the orders of Li Guolou, the more than 10,000 soldiers are volunteers, the leaders of ethnic minorities only admire Li Guolou, Li Guolou has long become a myth of the Qing Dynasty, more than 3,000 soldiers from all walks of life died, and there is no complaint, the soldiers are willing to die for Li Guolou.

It can be seen that the ethnic policy formulated by Li Guolou is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the people of Taiwan trust Li Guolou, but how many people know Li Guolou's nephew, Li Yunzhuo.

Li Guolou knew that Li Yunzhu could not convince the public, but he wanted to cultivate his own forces, and for the future, the future Xinwu army must be in the hands of the Li family, so he drove the ducks to the shelves, and the rocket promoted Li Yunzhuo, Li Yunzhuo was already a deputy general, and he did not ask the troops to attack Guishan, the supreme commander was Liu Mingchuan, and Li Yunzhuo was only the commander of the Guishan Defense Area.

Li Yunzhu has superb military strategy, the battle of Hualien Town is a battle planned by the Japanese army, Li Guolou was forced to make a counterattack, the scale of the battle of Hualien Town is so large, it is Li Yunyu who is on the front line to send a telegram, pointing out that the Qing army and the Japanese army in Hualien Town decisive battle, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and a large number of kills and wounds of the main force of the Japanese army in the plain area, so that the Qing army can gain military superiority.

Li Guolou put all his troops into the battle of Hualien Town, which made the 4,000 victorious troops stick to Hualien Town and fight to the death with the Japanese army.

Afterwards, it was proved that Li Yunyu had a strategic vision, and more than 12,000 Japanese troops were wiped out in the first battle, and the Japanese army no longer dared to compete with the Qing army for the Pingtung Plain, and gave up this grain producing area.

Li Guolou didn't seem to hear the sneering laughter of a few toasts, stared at Luo Shidai with sharp eyes, and said: "I left here temporarily, in order to defeat the Japanese Navy as soon as possible, not to cut off the Japanese army's sea transportation line, this battle is far away, after I leave, the burden on your body is very heavy, I hope you will cooperate sincerely, unite around Liu Zhentai and Li Yunzhuo, in the future, you are all national heroes, you must contribute to the country, no matter how big the difficulties must be overcome." ”

Luo Shidai smirked, pretended to be honest, and nodded: "Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief Li, I will not enter the hinterland of Guishan without authorization, I understand what you said, mountain warfare can only win by relying on the encroachment policy, and it is doomed to defeat in a hurry." ”

Li Guolou pointed at Yu Ronggu, the Tusi of the Black Mountain Clan, with his big hand, and said, "Yu Tusi, you also make a statement, let me listen." ”

Yu Ronggu felt honored, a smile appeared on his face, and Li Guolou asked him to speak for the second time, correcting his attitude and expressing his position and determination.

Li Guolou named them one by one, and asked every toast to express his position, not letting go of a single person, even if any of the leaders had a hot brain, they entered the hinterland of Guishan Mountain, and finally were surrounded by the Japanese army.

More than 20 Tusi and tribal generals made their stand and were willing to obey Li Yunzhuo's command, and no one clamored for the liberation of Guishan.

Li Guolou admonished him step by step, and said: "Li Yunzhuo, as a commander, should be fierce, burn all the trees in Guishan, and all the people within 50 miles of Guishan will migrate, and burn me one mountain after another, so that the Japanese army can eat soil in Guishan, and I want to see how capable Xixiang Congdao is to occupy a barren mountain." ”

The officers, Tusi, and tribal leaders in the military tent were all dumbfounded, and no one dared to say more, and looked at Li Guolou in a daze, Li Yunzhu stood up in horror and shouted: "Yes, I know what to do, and I will never let the Japanese army have a good life." ”

As soon as Li Yunzhu heard it, he understood that Li Guolou was afraid that he would not be able to convince the public, so he deliberately said two poisonous plans, and in the future, he would fight in Guishan, and the Qing army would implement the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness, and others would not be able to attack him.

Burning the mountain is destroying the environment, and the ashes will make the soil no grass, and even if the Japanese army does not burn to death, they will not be able to farm in the mountain for a year or two.

In the past, the Central Plains people's method of dealing with the ethnic minorities in the north was to "burn the grassland pasture".

In ancient times, every autumn when the grass withered and the horse was fattened, the soldiers entered the hinterland of the grassland to "burn the grassland pasture", so that the herdsmen suffered heavy losses, the Central Plains people burned the grassland pasture for thousands of years, and the effect was remarkable, which was more effective than sending troops to fight, so that the northern herdsmen suffered for a winter.

The Qing Dynasty won the world on horseback, and never used this strategy, which was about to be lost, and Li Guolou was not ashamed to teach this poisonous plan, and he was not afraid of being scolded.

Li Guolou is also forced to last resort, only with despicable means, the environment of Guishan is destroyed, otherwise the Japanese army in the mountains to farm, grow vegetables, can survive for a long time, the Japanese army set up the governor's palace in Guishan, mountain warfare is very difficult for the attacker, the Qing army into the mountains to fight with the Japanese army, if you are not careful, you will be surrounded by the Japanese army, then, the grain road is cut off, only surrender.

The Qing army was not completely sure and was unwilling to go into the mountains to fight, and Li Guolou's military deployment was even in favor of the veteran military affairs Liu Mingchuan, which shows that there was no other choice for mountain warfare.

Yunnan Governor Qin Yuying fought with the Miao Jiang rebel army in Yunnan, that is, with the strategy of clearing the wilderness, laying down a village, destroying a village, more than 1,200 Miao villages were destroyed by the Qing army more than 1,000, and finally, the Miao Jiang rebel army could not bear it, so the tribe surrendered, otherwise, as soon as the Qing army left, the Miao people in the village rebelled again, only completely destroyed, cut off the back road of the rebel army, it looked very cruel, but the national war only relied on violence to counter violence, otherwise there would never be peace.

Several leaders of the Paiwan tribe were in tears, Guishan was the holy land of the Paiwan tribe, and now it was occupied by the Japanese army, so what kind of face did they have to see their ancestors.

Li Guolou said good words to appease, if he doesn't break it, he won't stand up, tomorrow will be better, follow him to fight, and he will have a good future.

Since the Paiwan people did not object, and the Tusi of other ethnic minorities did not object, even if the fire spread to their territory, in order to destroy the Japanese army, they could only bear the consequences of this fire.

After getting the personal promise of Li Guolou and Liu Mingchuan, the leader of the soldiers left the military tent.

Li Guolou and Liu Mingchuan bid farewell to the Tusi of ethnic minorities together, leaving only Luo Shidai behind, and there were important matters to discuss.

There is also a Beidong army in Dawu Mountain, and now the Pingtung Plain has been recovered by the Qing army, and the 4,000 Beidong army led by the "housekeeping" Wang Redong was cut off by the Qing army.

Li Guolou wanted Luo Shidai to persuade the Beidong Army to surrender and ask the Beidong Army to intercept the Japanese artillery column left in Dawu Mountain.

The Qing army has long grasped the situation of the Japanese artillery column, Li Yunzhu said: "The Japanese army in Dawu Mountain, about 300 people, 80 artillery pieces, commanded by Osa Sakata Takesuke, this is an elite artillery unit of the Japanese army, there are five American ** officers in it, but now it has become a piece of chicken ribs, can not move a step, if the Japanese army wants to break through, only discard these bronze cannons, I don't know if the Japanese army has the determination and courage to break the wrist of a strong man." ”

Luo Shidai said: "Some time ago I sent a letter to Wangredong, although he did not reply, but the results of the battle of Hualien Town, he will soon know, I think he will recognize the situation, will lead the Beidong army to revolt on the battlefield, however, Wangredong will not fight back, attack the Japanese army, I am not sure, this person is Luo Yixin's confidant, even if he has to return to the Qing Dynasty, he will not do too much, I think Wangredong will let go of the Japanese army, this is my humble opinion, for reference only." ”

Liu Mingchuan's face became hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Luo Tusi, if you say yes, Wang Redong can't stay, and after the war is over, you hand him over to me." ”

Luo Shidai had a red heart towards the Qing Dynasty, and those who were not loyal to the Qing Dynasty were also a scourge to keep it, and said without hesitation: "One word is decided, I also want to see whether Wang Redong is loyal to the people or will betray his personality." ”

Li Guolou pondered for a moment and said: "I think the Japanese army no longer believes in the Beidong Army, and is ready to break through, since it is the elite unit of the Japanese army, it will not surrender easily, or will choose to break through, the blockade cannot be blocked, as long as the artillery is left, if Wangredong destroys a part of the Japanese army, or sincerely submit, you don't have to be embarrassed for him, if Wangredong is yin and yang, he is grateful to the Japanese army, and let go of the Japanese artillery column, the end is destined to be very sad, it depends on what he does." ”

"Well, I already sent a messenger yesterday, and what Wangredong is going to do will know in two days." Luo Shidai's status is unshaken, he is the great savior of the people of Beidong, and he is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than Li Guolou.

Li Guolou looked at Luo Shidai and said: "Luo Tusi, what I ask you now is to restrain military discipline, control the mouths of your subordinates, if you say too much, you will lose, don't mention the past, if someone commits a taboo, I can only tear and cut the horse, do you understand." ”

"Yes, guaranteed." Luo Shidai stood up, saluted the commander in the military tent, and left majestically, with the protection of Li Guolou, the Beidong people's anti-Qing uprising will be wiped out in the dust of history.

Chang Sheng's army suffered heavy casualties, killing 123 foreign officers in the battle, Li Guolou was severely criticized by the military department, and the military department ordered Chang Sheng's army to be a division.

The military order cannot be violated, except for the seriously wounded who cannot go back, 400 officers and men of the victorious army are ready to go.

Li Guolou and Liu Ming sent farewell to Bai Langning and Bolt, the injured Bai Langning was lying on a stretcher, Li Guolou and Liu Mingchuan personally carried the stretcher, carried Bai Langning into the carriage, and the whole army saw off the Changsheng army.

Bai Langning was very excited, grabbed Li Guolou's hand tightly, and said, "Commander Li, you still owe me a poem, it's time to write it to me." ”

Who said that foreigners have no friendship, the British and French fought for the Qing Dynasty, not just for money, the real touching comradeship accumulation is like intoxicating old wine, foreigners also have good men, they are lifelong friends.

Li Guolou was full of thoughts, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give Chang Shengjun a poem and bring a pen." ”

Li Guolou's pen walks the dragon, and the book says: Hualien Town, Taiwan, bid farewell to the Changsheng Army, and don't forget your comrade-in-arms Bai Langning.

"Nian Nujiao? Taiwan Town》

The clouds and waves roll, multiplying thousands of miles, the blue sea and yellow sand fight the Japanese slaves.

The bloody battle of the treasure island strengthens the country's prestige, the sailor returns my mountains and rivers, the tomb is on the long, the blood stains the flag, the gun is sacrificed to the loyal soul, the country is still the same, and the sea is boundless.

Thinking of the country's shame and family hatred, I weep blood, and hope that the hardships will come.

Bullets rain and thunder in the sky, nine-headed birds rush into the sky, sad alone, the breeze remembers the deceased, cleanses and eliminates demons, spreads its wings and flies, and Dapeng chases the clouds and the sun.

Liu Mingchuan read the poem aloud and sighed: "It's a good 'chasing clouds and chasing the sun', you can think of it." ”

Bai Langning sobbed excitedly, reciting words in his mouth, immersed in the artistic conception of poetry, gritted his teeth and sat up straight, and insisted on giving a standard military salute to Li Guolou.

The soldiers of the victorious army wiped their tears vigorously, which is the true portrayal of the battle of the victorious army.

Liu Mingchuan roared jealously: "Li Guolou, you have never sent me a poem." ”

Li Guolou smiled and said: "Liu Liumazi, you can encourage you together." ”

Liu Mingchuan chattered in his mouth, and vowed to let Li Guolou praise him once.
