The moon hangs in the night sky, dotted with stars, with a hint of coldness.

Shen Baozhen waited for Li Guolou in Keelung Harbor, did not return to Penghu Luer Port, Shen Baozhen wanted to lead the Daqingshui Division to attack Langqiao, he was the transport officer of the Qing army, relying on his fleet to replenish weapons and ammunition, and won the battle ahead, with his share of credit, for a few months, Shen Baozhen's fleet had only fought a few battles with sporadic pirate ships, and was quite dissatisfied with Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang's nepotism, let Li Guolou show his ambitions and ambitions, and put him somewhere, but Li Guolou kept winning the battle, so that he had nowhere to redress his grievances, on the surface Shen Baozhen was saying good things about Li GuolouI hope that Li Guolou will return to Beijing as soon as possible, there is no suspense in the war in Taiwan, and the land Qing army has an overwhelming advantage, and it is already a full-scale counteroffensive.

Shen Baozhen is the founder of the Nanyang Naval Division, most of the officers and soldiers of the Nanyang Naval Division are from his disciples, except for Feng Zicai, who is his own faction, Fujian Governor Ding Richang does not care about the daily affairs of the Nanyang Naval Division, this naval division is under his control, Shen Baozhen is very confident in the naval battle.

After getting the news of Li Guolou's injury, Shen Baozhen secretly rejoiced, God opened his eyes, and finally waited for the time for him to come out, this time no matter what, Li Guolou was not allowed to go to sea to fight, and the sneak attack on Langqiao Battle must be snatched.

Shen Baozhen sent several telegrams to the military headquarters, explaining his determination to put the naval division under his command, and strongly urging Li Guolou to lie down and recuperate, and for the sake of the morale of the whole army, Commander-in-Chief Li should not go to sea.

Soon Prince Gong, the first military aircraft, replied that during Li Guolou's recuperation, Li Guolou was not allowed to go to sea, and the Daqingshui Division was temporarily commanded by Shen Baozhen.

Shen Baozhen got the command of the sailor he wanted, and he could finally show his ambitions, smiling and brushing his beard, he hurriedly greeted Li Guolou's convoy, this time he wanted to let Li Guolou's combat deployment spit out, and all became his ideas, Shen Baozhen was the tactician of the Da Qingshui Division.

At this time, Shen Baozhen still did not know Li Guolou's combat strategy, and the plan formulated by his staff to attack Langqiao was very flawed, no matter how it was deployed, and it was difficult to break through the Japanese defense line.

Shen Baozhen saw Li Guolou jumping off the carriage, pretending to be pleased, tears rolled in his eyes, and he choked up: "Commander-in-Chief Li is fine, let me worry until now." ”

Li Guolou's right arm was hanging on his chest, wrapped in gauze, his complexion looked good, his pale rectangular face showed a trace of resentment, Li Guolou clenched his left fist tightly, eager to give Shen Baozhen a punch, and said angrily: "General Office Shen, why did you complain to the Ministry of War, not let me go to sea, and deprive me of command." ”

Shen Baozhen let out a hearty laugh and said: "Commander-in-Chief Li, I'm here for your good, you see that I have brought your two wives here, just to give you a good life and recuperate, you are still young, and you will grow in the future, this time let me make a meritorious service, your share is indispensable, you are still Commander-in-Chief Li." ”

"It's easy for me, I pay for the war, have you ever taken money from your own pocket?" Li Guolou felt that he had been tricked, the Great Qing Kingdom used the money from his family's bank to fight, and the navy spent money like a tide when it fought a war, and the Taiwan campaign cost at least 15 million silver dollars.

Shen Baozhen smiled and said: "I understand, I also helped a lot, please come into the bank more than 4 million yuan, it is my protégé and old official deposit, Singapore's rich businessmen transferred the funds back to the Qing Dynasty, it is all my credit, this is more than 10 million yuan, you can't deny it." ”

Li Guolou glanced at him and said, "How do you know." ”

"I've never fought battles that I'm not sure of." Shen Baozhen made a pun, convinced that Li Guolou still wanted to use him.

"Okay, Mr. Shen, don't blame me for being ruthless in the future." Li Guolou put down his cruel words, looked up at the starry sky, sighed, had the intention to kill the enemy, and was powerless to return to the sky.

"Commander-in-Chief Li, I'm doing this for your own good, if you don't believe it, you can ask your two ladies, a wounded and sick man like you, should go to sea." Shen Baozhen is not afraid of Li Guolou, who has not dried up, everyone is a grasshopper in the same line, and the credit should be shared.

Chu Xiangyu and Wu Peipei stepped forward to meet Li Guolou, saw Li Guolou's miserable face, wiped a handful of tears, and showed a sad expression.

Li Guolou persuaded him with good words and said: "Don't cry, so many people are watching, you two go back to the house to rest first, and I still have something to discuss with Lord Shen." ”

Wu Peipei nodded and said, "Xiaolou, pay attention to your body, don't stay up late." ”

Li Guolou was a little embarrassed, waved his hand and said, "I know, I'll talk about it when I get home." ”

Chu Xiangyu and Wu Peipei knew that Li Guolou was busy with business, so they said a few words of gossip, and then went back to the house to sleep.

As a wounded and sick man, Li Guolou should have rested for one night, but Shen Baozhen was unwilling to let him go, and dragged Li Guolou into the command room.

Li Guolou was also a person who couldn't be idle, stayed up all night, had a long talk, and told Shen Baozhen about the battle idea.

Only then did Shen Baozhen know that Li Guolou was going to send a suicide ship to attack Langqiao Port in dense foggy weather, and he couldn't help but feel sad, but for the victory of the naval battle, there was only this way.

"Is White Snake Langjun reliable?" Shen Baozhen only heard his name, but he didn't know what the White Snake Langjun was capable of.

Li Guolou nodded and said: "Don't worry, I have tried him five times, and the test of the celestial phenomena is not accurate, the white snake Langjun has merits, you just need to be prepared and let the death squad be dispatched at any time, and the rest depends on the will of heaven." ”

Shen Baozhen sighed: "Commander Li, don't go to the death squad, you give the death squad a morale boost, it's not good, let me take responsibility, so the death squad will have no hesitation." ”

"Well, it's up to you to boost morale, and the families of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country will all be taken care of by me." Li Guolou felt sad in his heart, a speedboat needs three daredevils, thirty speedboats are ninety daredevils, so many people have not yet fought, they are on the death list, how cruel war is.

The Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau built 30 improvised speedboats in preparation for the naval battle in Taiwan.

As a commander, you must have the courage to take responsibility, a general will succeed, in order to win must use a death squad, Shen Baozhen is a ruthless general, unmoved to take Li Guolou's instructions, the two together to plan every step of the campaign.

Early in the morning, Li Guolou returned to the residence where he stayed, the courtyard was deep, the simple and elegant mansion was originally Liu Mingdeng's mansion, and now Li Guolou's two wives Chu Xiangyu and Wu Peipei live here.

Chu Xiangyu and Wu Peipei came to Taiwan to accompany Li Guolou, which was the family's decision, and they were afraid that Li Guolou would mess with flowers and grass in Taiwan and bring ethnic minority girls home.

Li Guolou lived a life of eating and opening his mouth, clothes and stretching his hands, everything was fine at home, Du Eniang gave birth to a big fat son, Yelia was eight months pregnant, and until now no woman has run away from home, and no wife has cuckolded Li Guolou.

After the family affairs were finished, the two ladies chattered, kept counting Li Guolou, blaming him for taking risks, Li Guolou turned a deaf ear, but unfortunately he needed to abstain from sex during the recuperation period, and reciprocated with a smile, and the two lovely faces were kissed by him.

Chu Xiangyu saw Li Guolou's repentance, like a good child, and said coquettishly: "Brother Xiaolou, you can recuperate with peace of mind these days, and you are not allowed to stay up late." ”

Li Guolou said perfunctorily: "Well, I'll try my best, I've worked hard for you these days, and the food is okay." ”

Wu Peipei replied elegantly and calmly: "It's okay, I'm tired of eating seafood every day, Liu Mingdeng's wife gave me a hundred catties of shark fin, Xiaolou, you have shark fin in your porridge, don't you taste it." ”

"It's too wasteful, you two have to set an example, don't accept gifts, don't make it difficult for me." Li Guolou was taken aback, Liu Mingdeng made an extraordinary move, and the shark fin was given away as glutinous rice cakes.

Wu Peipei said proudly: "Xiaolou, please rest assured, I am also a watcher, you gave Liu Mingdeng so many silver dollars, it is appropriate to accept this little thing from him, and the shark fin will not suffer from it after eating it, and when you are healed, please ask the generals a few more times." ”

Li Guolou asked in a low voice, "Is there anything going on in the palace?" ”

Wu Peipei shook her head and said: "Xie Xiuzhu and Zhen Yuhuan often go in and out of the palace, the Queen Mother and Niangniang are very good to them, and they have rewarded my family with a lot of things, the students of the academy have supported you, and the Manchurian nobles are praising your patriotic poems, and they have not said anything bad about you." ”

Li Guolou smiled and said: "Forgive them and don't dare, in the past, when the country was at war, the emperor also wanted to take the lead in donating money to the nobles, but I didn't let them donate a penny, and if they dared to say bad things about me, I would let them ruin their wealth." ”

Li Guolou covered his mouth and snickered: "Brother Xiaolou, don't be complacent, now the Jingshi is crazy, you are the reincarnation of the third prince of Zhu, saying that you are the gravedigger of the Qing Dynasty." ”

Legend has it that the third prince of Zhu is the widow of Emperor Chongzhen at the end of the Ming Dynasty, at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the third prince of Zhu was painted as the image of the jade-faced Xiaolangjun, and was worshiped by anti-Qing people to spread the idea of anti-Qing, during the Kangxi period, someone rebelled in Beijing in the name of the third prince of Zhu, and the Xuanwu Gate Hall was burned in that catastrophe.

"Ah, there is such a thing, when did the third prince Zhu happen, more than a hundred years have passed, little Japan is too bad, how can it be reasonable to put the third prince Zhu on me." Li Guolou couldn't sit still, thinking of the sad ending, even if Emperor Tongzhi laughed at it, but this matter is like a thorn, forever pierced in his heart, and in the future, Emperor Tongzhi will guard him like a fire.

Wu Peipei smiled bitterly: "Don't say Xiaolou, the portrait of the third prince of Zhu is very similar to you, just like carved out of a mold, in the future, I'm afraid it won't be smooth sailing." ”

Li Guolou was angry, he had nothing to say, his career was too successful, relying on the support of the people of the whole country, backed by hundreds of millions of money, which was something that even the Qing Emperor could not do.

Chu Xiangyu saw that Li Guolou was in a low mood, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaolou, don't pay attention to these gossips, in the future, our family will live a free life, and it's a big deal to go to the concession." ”

Wu Peipei refuted: "Fifth lady, don't talk nonsense, Xiaolou is a patriot, unless it is absolutely necessary, we will not go to the arms of imperialism, and when Xiaolou returns to Beijing, we will know how the emperor treats Xiaolou." ”

Li Guolou waved his left arm and said: "Okay, let's not mention the matter of the third prince Zhu, this is the trick of the Japanese Invaders, whoever believes it, who is a traitor, the Beijing Master is treacherous, and the rumors are full of dirt, but the Lord Fu Xiang is in charge, I can't chat, the Japanese want me to leave Taiwan, this is wishful thinking, I will not annihilate the Japanese army in Taiwan, and I will not return to Beijing." ”

Chu Xiangyu and Wu Peipei sighed involuntarily, staying in a wild place, they would get tired of eating shark fin every day, they knew Li Guolou's temperament, and it seemed that he would not be able to go back this year.

Li Guolou filled a stomach full of shark fin porridge, drank a sip of tea, couldn't sit still with his buttocks, licked his face and said, "I'm itchy all over my body, and I haven't taken a bath for several days." ”

"Got it, little wrongdoer, give you a bath." Chu Xiangyu was lightly angry, and her pretty face was pasted on Li Guolou's mouth.

Li Guolou kissed his face while touching the soft Rouyi with his hands, the two ladies were lovely.

Wu Peipei supported Li Guolou, afraid of touching Li Guolou's injured arm, and walked into the bathroom together.

Li Guolou's right arm was injured and he could only stand in the barrel to take a bath, with a large bruise on his body, which was caused by falling from his horse.

Chu Xiangyu and Wu Peipei stood outside the barrel, bathing Li Guolou, and you interrogated Li Guolou without saying a word, wondering if Li Guolou had a leg with a Taiwanese minority girl.

Qianqianyu rubbed her hands on her body, Li Guolou enjoyed a comfortable life, her eyes swept over the two beautiful girls, and said with a smile: "Absolutely nothing, the Japanese army is planted on the belly of the Taiwanese girl, how can I touch this mine, Tusi Yabu sent me two girls, but I sternly refused, my family will never raise Yangzhou thin horses." ”

Wu Peipei twisted Li Guolou's ears and scolded angrily: "Obscene, how old is the eleventh, and he said that there is no Yangzhou thin horse in the family." ”

Li Guolou let out a burst of lewd laughter, and his lower body had a huge reaction, eager to try, and he was not in the line of fire with minor injuries, ready to desperately eat puffer fish.
