The Xinwu Army carried a transmitter with the army, which was relatively large, with more than 200 pounds, and the transmitter used a dry battery, so it could not be rained, and it was very delicate, and it was often easy to be damaged in the bumps, and the telegraph operator received a telegram as soon as he repaired the transmitter, and Zheng Hengdan was the first to see the telegram and rushed to Li Guolou to send it

This time, Li Guolou transferred 10 mosquito boats to enter the waters of Weishan Lake, and because the boats had a draft of more than three meters, they could not dock at the wharf of the Xinwu Military Defense Zone, and 18 mosquito boats anchored and stopped on the main channel, waiting for Li Guolou's military order

Zheng Hengdan looked at this strange telegram, a little inexplicable, and Li Guolou needed to explain what was unclear

Commander-in-Chief Li receives:

Silver Snake Langjun prayed for good fortune and high luck, Gao Zhao all the way safe, the eighteen mosquito ships of the Beiyang Navy Division arrived at the designated waters smoothly, and quickly sent people to contact the divination of the hexagram, the spring rain is not easy to send troops, seven days later, when the wind, sunshine, and centripetal Mao, Youwu also started a war, and will win a big victory

Commander: Hannagan

The general content of Zheng Hengdan's telegram can be understood, this is a clear code, unencrypted, the command of the eighteen mosquito ships is in the hands of the Prussian Hannagan

Hannagan was a distant relative of the Prussian Emperor Wilhelm I, a captain in the Prussian Army, very capable, and a senior engineer who could repair all kinds of steam engines, and the Weihaiwei Fort was designed by him

Hannagan has the title of relative of the Prussian emperor, and he was very popular in the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang trusted Hannagan very much, served as a military instructor in Weihaiwei and served as Li Hongzhang's adjutant, Hannagan was responsible for the design and construction of the Lushun Military Port, Dalian Military Port, Weihaiwei Fort, and the Krupp cannons imported by the Qing Dynasty had to be contacted through Hannagan, and he was also the agent of the Krupp Cannon Military Factory in the Qing Dynasty, "Yadong Rubber Company" It can be said that Hannagan is a famous official and businessman, and Li Guolou is the same kind of person, and Hannagan was born in the same soldier, and Hannagan was not satisfied with the status quo, and the Beiyang Naval Division wanted to fight, so he asked Li Hongzhang for orders and volunteered to command the battle

Hannagan used to be an officer of the Prussian Army, but he came to command Li Guolou, the Beiyang Naval Division of the Qing Dynasty, was negligent, and Li Hongzhang issued an imperial order for Hannagan to lead ten mosquito ships to Weishan Lake to make contributions

Li Guolou looked at the telegram in his hand, and was furious, and the Beiyang Navy Master went out with a wizard, and this wizard was actually above Hannagan, and it was tolerable to point fingers at the war, this wizard was looking for death by himself, even if this wizard could be pinched, it was even more powerful than the vermilion lantern, and he couldn't tolerate this self-righteous "White Snake Langjun"

In the past, Li Guolou was still able to tolerate this kind of shamanic wizards in the army, but in fact, they were similar in nature to Westerners and priests in the army, and the army engaged in superstition in order to curry favor and stabilize the morale of the army

It is not an exaggeration to follow the customs of the Eight Banners, the disciples of the Eight Banners, the shamanic wizards, and the Beiyang sailors to make a "White Snake Langjun", even the Prussian Hannagan was also bluffed by the "White Snake Langjun", thinking that he brought a god who could pinch and calculate, and warned Li Guolou in the tone of a god

Why did Cao Cao want to kill Zuo Ci, and he couldn't tolerate a warlock, it was because Zuo Ci overrode Cao Cao's head and commented on government affairs, which made Cao Cao move his murderous intentions, and he could only laugh and do it with hindsight, and in hindsight, he must have a heroic and righteous spirit to fight a war, and he must have the determination to die, even if he knows that he is going to die, he must charge ahead, this is a soldier

Li Guolou moved to kill, but he didn't show his patience, how could he make his subordinates see through it, and said with a smile: "Adjutant Zheng, of course you can't understand this message, I'll explain it to you." White Snake Lang Jun's surname Zhang was originally a sergeant, a white snake suddenly came down in the barracks, this white snake Lang Jun called this white snake is sent by God to bless the Beiyang Naval Division, the people of the Shui Shi Battalion worship this snake as a king, in order to falsely spread the rumor, this sergeant surnamed Zhang became the White Snake Langjun, and this person will divinate and ask hexagrams, and get the respect of the officers and soldiers of the Sailor Battalion, and gradually the White Snake Langjun became a celebrity of the Beiyang Naval Division, this matter also alarmed Master Fu Xiang, specially sent someone to investigate the origin and ins of this matter, the commissioner in the Sailor Camp to worship incense and kowtow, did not expect the White Snake Langjun to faint to the ground, and then foamed at the mouth, and the ghost possessed the body and scolded Li Hongzhang for having no rules, the White Snake dared not come to worship in the present world, and the commissioner Gong Dai should know that the White Snake is subject to the skyHeaven sent me to come to the world, and I received the Huanghuang ceremony, what kind of thing is Li Hongzhang, you dare to underestimate me, I was so scared that the commissioner kowtowed again, and promised to go back to repay Li Hongzhang, and he got up early tomorrow to come to the white snake in person, and the white snake Langjun woke up, and then Li Hongzhang personally came to pay homage to the white snake, and the white snake Langjun became the ** division of the Beiyang Naval Division, and now he ran to me to make a fuss."

"Oh, it turns out that Master Fu Xiang has also visited the White Snake, surnamed Zhang, and has become the protector of the Beiyang Naval Division, sad that the White Snake Langjun is so arrogant, and even the warship has to set off, this kind of atmosphere can't rise," Zheng Hengdan peeped at Li Guolou's expression, and felt that it was necessary to remind Li Guolou of the military situation, how could it be child's play, and the gods who knew astronomy and geography could not give orders and disturb the hearts of our army

Li Guolou nodded slightly and said: "Well, I know this, since Lord Fu Xiang has recognized the status of the White Snake Langjun in the Beiyang Naval Division, I will raise this person as a good person."

Li Guolou laughed it off, let the White Snake Langjun go for the time being, and when the time was ripe, he killed the White Snake Langjun, Li Guolou temporarily changed the location of the meeting, and led the commanders of all walks of life, He Fengyu, Bai Langning, Zhu Honglan, Liu Tanggu and other eighteen leaders, large and small, to the assembly point of the Beiyang Naval Division, to hold a meeting on the mosquito boat

At this time, the two leaders of the militia group, Zhu Honglan and Liu Tanggu, knew that the Xinwu Army was waiting for reinforcements to arrive at Weishan Lake

Zhu Honglan relieved a tense heart, relaxed, originally she was going to make a major sacrifice, now it seems that the casualties of the Boxer will not be too big, follow Li Guolou's move is the right move, since the price of Li Guolou patted Li Guolou's fart, Weishan Lake is hers, Zhu Honglan wants to find Li Guolou in many Goshhari, but it is dark, and there are many people who can't see Li Guolou, Li Guolou suddenly has an anxiety in his heart, not to mention how uncomfortable it is, Zhu Honglan immediately slowed down, and dragged his horse behind alone

Liu Tanggu has become Li Guolou's confidant, the members of the Lance Club, what they do is not something that others can replace, and the hard work paid for the Changsheng Army will be rewarded fruitfully, Lincheng is the territory of the Spear Club sooner or later, Liu Tanggu sneered at the four islands of Weishan Lake in the vermilion lantern, and only when they developed into the city did they have their way out, and the gang of Boxers fell behind

For the concealment of the war, the eighteen mosquito boats were still far away from the battlefield, Li Guolou and his party had to ride horses before boarding the ship, and they didn't even eat dinner, marching all the way for more than four hours, and the team was tired of making a short stop

Li Guolou walked into the pavilion and hit Liu Tanggu, who was standing in front of him, just finished eating, and hurriedly gave up his seat to Li Guolou and shouted: "Li Zhentai, you haven't eaten either."

Li Guolou said with a smile: "Liu Tanggu has worked hard for you, please eat grilled fish in a hurry."

"It should be my honor to serve Li Zhentai," Liu Tanggu jumped on the war horse and left the pavilion to continue to be the pioneer officer, since the members of the Lance Club who followed the Changsheng Army to fight outstanding, the shotgun was replaced with a Mauser gun, and the members of the Lance Club were mostly locals, and they have been the pioneers of opening roads and bridges in the mountains and rivers by virtue of their geographical familiarity, and this time Liu Tang led more than 30 members of the Lance Club to walk in the forefront of the team

Li Guolou smelled a pungent smell of garlic and quickly pinched his nose to block the attack of the smell

Zhu Honglan slowly swallowed, saw Li Guolou walk into the pavilion, and couldn't help but say something, handed the garlic cookcake to Li Guolou and said, "Li Zhentai eat me."

Zhu Honglan's words were a little ambiguous, which made people think about it, and in the darkness, He Fengyu let out a wicked laugh, and several Yanzhou soldiers next to him also coaxed

"Then thank you, Zhu Honglan eats well, hurry up," Li Guolou took the cake with shame, fortunately it was dark and he couldn't see his face, he didn't want the friendly army to misunderstand the innocence between Zhu Honglan and him, and he didn't do anything wrong

"I haven't eaten yet," Zhu Honglan sat beside Li Guolou generously, a pair of phoenix eyes glanced at Li Guolou, and his heart was pounding, no wonder there are so many women who like Li Guolou, just sitting so stupidly makes her have the determination to serve Li Guolou, Zhu Honglan rolled the garlic into the cooking cake, opened the cherry mouth, and took a bite, like biting Li Guolou's meat, it tasted really good, the figure in the pavilion hanging in the distance was faint, even if he sat on a stone bench, he couldn't see the other party's face clearly

Zhu Honglan suddenly felt that everything she was doing was waiting for Li Guolou to come, just to sit together like now, after eating, Zhu Honglan hung her head shyly, chewed slowly, and thought about whether to confess to Li Guolou

Li Guolou sat in a pavilion next to the official road, eating cooking cakes, and didn't dare to look at the vermilion lantern next to him, this vicious woman was not afraid of smoking people to death, sitting next to him and eating garlic, who would like to eat garlic woman, Li Guolou made up his mind not to think about it, just when the vermilion lantern was the smell of garlic in the air

Shandong people like pasta, the new military army into the countryside and customs, are eating a kind of baked naan, Shandong people called cooking cakes, the cake is sprinkled with shallots, bread rolls, garlic just baked, the smell is absolutely appetizing, the cooking cake plus garlic is both nutritious and sterilizing, so that the soldier's body function adapts to the local climate, suitable for the war to eat, but after cooling, this cake is very dry and hard, plus the pungent taste of onion and garlic, even if a mouthful of water, a mouthful of cake, accidentally will choke

Li Guolou rolled his eyes as he ate like Goshha next to him, but he still took a bite of the cooking cake and drank a sip of cold water, you don't eat garlic, others eat garlic, the smell will smoke you to death, Li Guolou has no woman by his side, Zhu Honglan is not a woman, so he chewed garlic unscrupulously, and fought outside, and the officers and soldiers shared weal and woe, Li Guolou was not particular about food and clothing

Li Guolou was very arrogant, and drank the water in the kettle without eating a cooking cake, but drank all the water in the kettle, Li Guolou shook the kettle casually and said, "Does Haiwa have water?"

"Li Zhentai, drink mine," this time the vermilion light was more casual, snatched Li Guolou's kettle, and handed Li Guolou a gourd

"Do you want more" Haiwa raised the kettle inappropriately, but she didn't get a response from Li Guolou, Haiwa looked at the vermilion light meaningfully, there are so many women in her father-in-law

"Thank you" Li Guolou said that it was because of the vermilion lantern that he was hungry and thirsty, and he drank a pot of water for a long time without touching a woman, even if the dominatrix sat beside him, he would have a physiological reaction, when he took the gourd, Li Guolou couldn't help but pinch the hand of the vermilion lantern, he had already felt the strange appearance of the vermilion lantern, and tried to see if it was not in vain

"I've eaten well," Zhu Honglan jumped up like a spring, his face was as red as a pig's liver, how could it be reasonable to escape from Li Guolou's grasp, and everyone dared to take advantage of his aunt and grandmother, Zhu Honglan tightly dragged the military kettle, this is the witness, Li Guolou can't get rid of it

Zhu Honglan did not stay away from the pavilion, and explained a few words to He Xiangu who accompanied her, and asked He Xiangu to take twenty male guards and ten female guards to go first, she had something to do and went with Li Guolou

He Xiangu is an expert, and he has long seen that the red light has changed, and he understands that he will lead the twenty heroes of the Yihe Fist and the ten girls who shine on the red light to leave, and the people under him are not fools, and secretly snickered and beat the horse

Li Guolou left the pavilion and walked to the side of the war horse, and when he saw Zhu Honglan standing there alone, he immediately greeted him, and said with a cheeky smile: "Zhu Honglan, you are waiting for me."

Zhu Honglan said in a low voice: "Well, call me Ping'er in the future"

"Okay, I'll call you Ping'er" Li Guolou fought poison with poison, and he couldn't smell the garlic in the vermilion lamp's mouth at all, and this time he held the vermilion lantern with his two hands, and admired the hazy beauty up close

In a moment, Li Guolou jumped on the war horse, and the two walked side by side, and everyone couldn't hear what Li Guolou and Zhu Honglan were talking about, but they knew that Li Guolou and Zhu Honglan were closely related, and they were about to erupt and do something wrong, but Li Guolou knew that he and Zhu Honglan had no future, the two were people from different worlds, Zhu Honglan would not go with him, and he would not waste his magic skills, and now the two of them just had ambiguous feelings, and if they were separated, they would not come together in the future, and they would miss each other more, this feeling was good, and it was like not stealing, it was the highest state between men and women

It rained lightly in the middle of the night, and the cavalry of the Xinwu Army brought two rubber wool raincoats and gave them a raincoat to the entourage

He Fengyu put on a raincoat and asked: "Brother Li Xian, you are really like a god, Zhuge Liang even calculated that it would rain at night, and prepared a set of raincoats for us, I will not return it after wearing it."

Li Guolou said with a strange smile: "Brother He told you the truth, this sudden rain was told to me by White Snake Langjun."

Li Guolou's words were inexplicable, and the old and scheming people were like this, everyone was surprised, and they continued to hurry in the rain, and Li Guolou and his party of more than 200 people did not meet with the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Naval Division until the second half of the night
