The situation was treacherous, Dong Zhiyuan suddenly heard of the shock, Cui Wei led 11 Hui troops in Taichang Town and Zhengping Town to revolt on the battlefield, allowing the Qing army to advance in stride, occupying two important military towns overnight, Huanglong Banner planted in Taichang Town and Zhengping Town

Xu Zhanbiao is the coach of the road, he has to listen to Zuo Zongtang's orders, and he also has to listen to the arrangements of the imperial court, of course, he has to raise his value, so he did not participate in the surrender ceremony, and still stayed in Shishe Town

Facing the morning breeze, Lu Huang Ding and Li Guolou of the Qing Dynasty led a group of civil officials and military generals to meet them outside the gate of Taichang Town, they were a sea of flowers, along the way were columns of guns and Qing soldiers, pennants were planted with loess high slopes, drums rang in unison, and the elated gong and drum team twisted their waists to welcome the distinguished guests

Li Guolou and Huang Ding walked side by side, and Li Guolou said with emotion at the front of the team: "Two days ago, we were still sleeping in the open air, and we wanted Zou Baohe to die for only a few days."

Huang Ding remained solemn, but his thoughts had long since thought of sacrificing the soldiers of this land, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, it's only been a few days, if it wasn't for the Qing army's good fight, how could Cui Wei easily admit defeat, I want to erect a monument to the sacrificed soldiers, they are the heroes of this victory."

Li Guolou buried his head and lowered his face, his face was red, his heart was broken, and his pride was shattered by Huang Ding, he thought that he had made great contributions to the Chu army, and the real heroes were these unknown soldiers, those soldiers of the Qing army who were dressed in tatters on both sides of the road, and they were the heroes of this war

"Yes, the soldiers are lovely people," Li Guolou echoed, and the people around him expressed their desire to make a modest effort

Huang Ding didn't look at Li Guolou, his face frequently waved to the soldiers on both sides of the road, and responded loudly: "The Qing army is mighty"

The Qing soldiers on both sides of the "Great Qing Dynasty Glory" burst into applause, birds flew in all directions in the bushes, fluttering and soaring in the air

Huang Ding nodded with satisfaction and said: "Lord Li, it's already spring, everything is recovering, dormant for a winter, and all the power has erupted, and the soldiers of the Chu army are still wearing tattered winter clothes, as a wealthy man with a textile factory, 50,000 sets of military uniforms should you?"

"What kind of words is this, who is here who has no business in the family, I have only been accumulating for many years, and the time-honored brand is not enough to mention, or Sichuan is near," Li Guolou could easily take the bait, and pointed to the surrounding generals with a horsewhip in his hand

Huang Ding glanced at him and said, "Master Li, no one can hide it from me, it's a blessing for you to suffer a loss from my eyes, do you understand now?"

Li Guolou suddenly understood that the two Khotanese boulders were seen out of the city, although he didn't know why Li Ziying wanted to transport the big stones, but Huang Ding's brain was good, and he thought of sharing the spoils and suffered losses, nodded and said: "It's a trivial matter, I wrote a letter to Master Fu Xiang to go to Tianjin, and there are military supplies in the warehouse."

"Well, the Huai army is rich, Lord Li, don't forget that it's a whole set of hats, boots, and Prussian bayonets, so that it is not easy to break, and the soldiers like it," Huang Ding knew in his heart that although Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang fought for power and attacked each other, Li Hongzhang was still willing to help the Chu army in the rise and fall of the nation, and also embezzled the Huai army's military funds to fund the Chu army

This is the same as the relationship between Li Guolou, the army and the army sometimes cooperate without shoulder, sometimes compete with each other, politicians have no eternal enemies, form children, and their in-laws will turn their faces and use each other, but in the face of national righteousness, people of insight are united and united to the outside world

Is there a shortage of military supplies in the army, not to say so, but the consumption is too large, marching and fighting, a piece of clothing will be worn in less than three days, and everything in a rapid march is bad, a surprise attack war, from soldiers to officers, they have become beggars, so the army has to hoard all kinds of materials, sometimes the soldiers are dressed in tatters, but the materials in the warehouse of the quartermaster department are piled up, and they cannot be transported to the front line in time

Li Guolou accidentally said that he leaked his mouth and boasted: "Well, in two years, I will have money to bring ten battalions to support the Chu army in the war, and it is nothing."

Huang Ding was full of confidence, the war was so smooth, he didn't put the Gansu Hui army in his eyes, thought that the war would be over, shook his head, and said: "Lord Li, the second year is too far away, you can only look at the scenery by then, I have already taken Urumqi, eat cantaloupe there"

Li Guolou sneered and said: "I don't believe that the more difficult it will be in the future, I don't believe that we can bet that the family system is stronger than sworn brothers and associations, and it is too difficult to beat Jinjibao, I don't have the ability to fight this kind of natural risk, only Gao Liansheng can take on the big responsibility."

"Master Li, in addition to having ears and brains, you have something to say, then I ask you how to fight Jinjibao is the best policy" Huang Ding heard that Li Guolou praised and secretly belittled Gao Liansheng, thinking that Gao Liansheng consumed too much to fight, and the disabled soldiers were more than killed in battle, and the morale of the Qing army was greatly boosted, but the damage to the country was too great, and there were more than a thousand disabled soldiers overnight, and these disabled soldiers needed to carry a lifetime of burden

"It's better to attack the heart, buy the enemy with a lot of money, so many Hui people fled into Jinji Fort, we can still make great use of it, just by killing, it will make people's hearts go to extremes," Li Guolou said in a subtle word, and the civil official only needs to stop when he speaks, but saying more will make people disgusted

"Hmmm······" Huang Ding looked down on Li Guolou, he was really good at engaging in conspiracy and trickery, and the villain's method was ready-made, and he praised Li Guolou for seeing people and hitting him in the heart again, this method was better than the deputy marshal Xu Zhanbiao's indiscriminate killing of innocents

Huang Ding also has decision-making power, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and he can change his line at any time, Zhang issued a military order, and said after a while: "Lord Li, if you don't wait to talk to Cui Wei about this matter, send a group of people to mix into Jinji Fort"

"Zodiac man Gao Ming can still talk to you about a piece, those generals can only use knives and guns, can't understand the true meaning of war, waste my spit, Xingzi is still poked in the backbone, scolded dogs, take rats and meddle in things" Li Guolou was angry, he was good at plugging loopholes, but people didn't listen

Huang Ding smiled and said: "Master Li, since it is you who put forward your opinion, or the old rule, the first reward will be made by you, and I will make the decision for you when the time comes."

"Yes, but I think that if you want to start it today, you can leave at night, there is not a single loophole, this is to use a force as the formation, the number of people is enough to take a fortress, and then send a lone hero to infiltrate Jinji Fort with the common people, and you can assassinate the guards," Li Guolou nodded in approval, and also said the preliminary prototype of the plan

Huang Ding was quite suspicious and said: "Lord Li has such a good idea, why didn't you tell Vice Marshal Xu last night, do you have an opinion about him?"

Li Guolou pointed to the lively scene in front of him and said with a smile: "Zodiac man, I am not a god, last night Vice Marshal Xu gave an order, where can I think of countermeasures, how dare I talk nonsense at military meetings, I am not a fool who reads sage books, understands military law, ruthless and profound, today I am in a good mood, I have a whimsical idea to think of it, even if the Golden Fort, even if it is solid and there is no trace of loopholes, we must be like flies attached to the body and pull the maggots inside."

"Ah, yo, it's so disgusting, I've never heard people compare you like this, you're more annoying than Guo Dazui," Huang Dingma whipped up, didn't chat with Li Guolou, the army stayed for a long time, and he had no scruples about talking, and it always ended in a disgusting joke

The two talked and laughed, and walked in front of the team, Taichang Town, and the Qing army lined up at the city gate in front of them, and Cui Wei led a group of rebel generals to kneel to greet Huang Ding

Huang Ding and Li Guolou saw it from a long distance, and they jumped off their horses one after another, as if they hadn't seen old friends gather for a long time, excited and a little alienated, and the high-sounding words pushed the great national unity Taichang Town realized

The Qing army did not commit any offense against the people of Taichang Town, and the Qing soldiers saw that the big girl's eyes were so clear, and the children also went to Tongzhi brother's shop to open for business, and the Qing army traded fairly, not taking a grain of grain from the people

Disarming the Hui army and returning to the barracks, there are full-time supervisors who will give lectures and talk about the history of the Hui people, so that the Hui people can re-understand history and understand the principle that the nation must obey the state, and the Hui soldiers suddenly realized that they were misled and that the idea of narrow nationalism is wrong, and it is wrong for a country to fight a civil war, and only by the great unity of the people of all ethnic groups in the country can a country become rich and strong

No one can see that yesterday the two armies met each other with swords and guns, and today they live in harmony under the same roof and condense a hard-won friendship

Huang Ding, Li Guolou, Cui Wei and other Hui generals talked freely for more than four hours, properly solved the many difficulties of the Hui people, and talked very happily on the surface

When the Hui generals left the living room, Huang Ding angrily threw off his official hat and scolded: "Bastard, I haven't counted the looting accounts with them, I only can't go in and out of the Huizi, and I have to ask me for property and ask me to raise 37,000 Hui people, let them cultivate the land tomorrow, and plant spring wheat for me."

Li Guolou took the teapot and drank the tea directly, and drank a pot of tea, and then said: "The zodiac is angry, don't be like the Huizi, I see that they are desperately asking for food, in fact, they are afraid that we will settle accounts after the autumn and prepare for the immigrants, you let them farm the land is unrealistic, it has been negotiated to let them move, who will be good at farming, when planting seedlings, the roots will be broken for you, let the Huizi leave their hometown, they will vent their hatred, the seedlings are on, you still let the soldiers work hard, carry forward the spirit of self-reliance, Sichuan rats, dig holes, and march to the Sichuan army."

"Hey, Zuo Dashuai is really trying to give me a headache once and for all, more than 30,000 mouths are dead, Lord Li, now I think about it, we still have earned from the war, and now we can't get rid of this burden," Huang Ding was extremely annoyed, this is not a few official hats can send a few generals back to the army, but more than 30,000 living people, at least they can't starve, and the pressure on the logistics and transportation of the Qing army has increased greatly

Li Guolou laughed and said: "Don't be in a hurry, the zodiac is not short of food, what I promised just now can be converted into silver, anyway, it is Zuo Dashuai's money, you just need to appease the good people's hearts, and don't let people with ill intentions make trouble, if there is a Huizi who rebels again······ This kind of thing is still up to Vice Marshal Xu."

Huang Ding nodded and said: "Master Li is also right, I understand, but you don't understand, Huizi, today is just the beginning, they test my bottom line, and when they get it, they will continue to ask me for money, these people are robbers."

Li Guolou smiled and said: "The zodiac is right, more than 30,000 robbers let us keep me, calculate at least ten taels of silver for one person, and Zuo Dashuai needs 500,000 taels of silver for this group of immigrants."

Huang Ding patted the case and said angrily: "Li Guolou, you are a complete fool, where can you need 500,000 taels of silver to Cui Wei, 100,000 taels of silver, you don't know how big the gap between the city and the countryside is measured by the living standards of the people, don't you understand?"

Li Guolou's face changed in vain, and he also got up and kicked the stool away, and scolded angrily: "Okay, so many people have joined forces to lie to me, and I am a fool."

"Don't think that you are smarter than others, the bigger the official hat, the more people will deceive you, I think you will still be a magistrate for a few years, so that you can understand the suffering of the people," Huang Ding sneered, looking down on Li Guolou

"Understood, understood, thank you for telling the truth, otherwise I would have been deceived by those Qiu Ba, and I would have thought that I had treated them badly," Li Guolou clasped his fists and saluted, and was grateful from the bottom of his heart, and finally there was a person who told the truth, he thought he was extremely smart, only he fooled people, and others were all played by him between applause, and it turned out that his subordinates took a high salary and cried to him poorly

"You are still good at calculating the enemy, turning a blind eye to the people around you, counting on the high-ranking officials, there are such people around you, it can be said that you are a slave and a loyal person, don't chill the hearts of your subordinates," Huang Ding slapped Li Guolou, and he was relieved to show the mind of a high-ranking official

The two left the living room with a smile and entered the big yurt room, where they only talked about friendship between ethnic groups, and the rebels of the Hui army were praised as national heroes

A pungent pepper filled the air, roasted whole sheep on the grill, veal stewed in a cauldron, grapes and wine filled the glass, the music played with national characteristics, the high-pitched and loud singing filled the room, the smiling faces were frequently raised, and the harmonious atmosphere spread, just like the taste of pepper was refreshing

After the imperial court issued the holy decree, Cui Wei received numerous honors and was awarded by the imperial court: the French feudal general, the head of the Qin order, wearing a pair of dazzling eyes, the name of the commander, and the title of "Brave Baturu" and "Akdan Baturu", becoming the hero of the Qing Dynasty to publicize the Hui people
