In one day, Li Guolou received two war reports of great victories, and he excitedly walked back and forth in the military tent, and a telegram had just arrived from his home, inviting the bank to enter the bank to exceed the 300 million mark, and the private money of the people of the whole country was in his pocket, and this year would be a bumper harvest year.

The war against Japan made him a national hero, and the war benefited his family business in many ways.

Western countries began to impose economic sanctions on Japan, not to import textiles from Japan, and astronomical textile orders were all sent to his brother Li Guoyun's "Yadong Textile Factory", and the national textile industry ushered in a brilliant spring.

Li Guolou looked at the two telegrams and couldn't put them down, Liu Mingdeng led the Jianwu Army and burned 2,000 Japanese troops to death in the first battle, how inspiring the army's morale, but this kind of thing is too cruel to conceal, and it can't be published in the Di newspaper, just pass it on orally.

Or Su Yuanchun did a good job, he captured eighty bronze cannons in the first battle, and also captured a transmitter and code book, the bombing camp of the Beidong Army is worth writing about, Su Yuanchun distributed fifteen Japanese prostitutes to the leader of the soldiers, it is not worth boasting about, and he has to hide it, and blame him for being too hypocritical, his subordinates did not expect to send him a few Japanese prostitutes, he has not touched a woman for several months, the only flaw is that more than 200 Japanese heads have been cut off, soldiers cannot desecrate the dead, the new military army is an army with ideals, It is to win by being above board.

Li Guolou was overjoyed, and said with careful consideration: "Send me a congratulatory telegram, reward the Jianwu Army with 600,000 silver dollars, and order Liu Mingdeng to lead the Jianwu Army to march to Zhujiajiao in Guishan, build a fortress, build a fortress in one mile, and slowly advance to the hinterland of Guishan, besiege the enemy in Guishan with the strategy of encroachment, block the strategic space of the Japanese army, and prepare for the offensive next spring. ”

Wang Han wrote down every word Li Guolou said, retold it, and asked, "Is Commander-in-Chief Li still there, and how do you reply to Su Yuanchun." ”

Li Guolou said: "Mountain warfare is very hard, let Su Yuanchun lead the army back to Xindian Town to rest, and this army will not be used for the time being." ”

"Yes." Wang Han closed the notebook and turned to the telegraph room, every military order of Li Guolou was transmitted to all the armies by telegram, and the telegram was Li Guolou's clairvoyance.

Zheng Hengdan saw that Li Guolou used the silver bullet offensive to buy Liu Mingdeng, and couldn't help but be jealous, and said euphemistically: "Commander Li, attacking with fire is hurting yin and virtue, Zhuge Kongming is burning vine armor soldiers, and he will die early, please don't mention the burning of the mountain in the future, this kind of thing that hurts yin and morality, or let your subordinates do it, you don't have to force it on yourself, let the historian record it in the annals of history." ”

Zheng Hengdan sighed lightly, as if he was feeling sorry for Li Guolou, his mouth was originally cheap, and he dared to say anything ugly.

Li Guolou is creepy, Catholicism and Buddhism are the same, pay attention to the cycle of cause and effect, this kind of thing should be taboo, the original image of Gao Daquan was ruined by himself, and in front of the leader of the soldiers, let the people of Taiwan know where the mountain fire came from, and there is no turning back when he opens the bow, one day, God will punish him.

Li Guolou waved his arms, as if to erase everything dirty, and said with a far-fetched smile: "Let the past pass, today is a good day, let all the officers and soldiers celebrate the hard-won victory together." ”

"Well, I'll go see if the venue is organized." Zheng Heng stroked his palm and said yes, turned around and left the big tent, this kind of thing can remind Li Guolou once, there is no need to drill the horns, there are all kinds of characters in an army, just like singing, there are ugly people in life, everyone has done their duty, the bad guy should be played by him, Li Guolou does not need to put the basin on his head.

Li Guolou held a celebration meeting, rewarded the three armies, and distributed boxes of silver dollars.

Each soldier was given five silver dollars, the officers were given six silver dollars, and the meritorious officers and men were awarded medals.

In the blink of an eye, the soldiers deposited the silver dollars in the quartermaster's office, and in case they were glorious, their families could still get silver dollars, and the officers and soldiers who had received heavy awards for their meritorious service also sent the reward back to their hometowns.

The officers and men have come out of the haze of losing their comrades-in-arms, all of them are full of energy, ready to make new contributions, tomorrow they will rush to a new battlefield, I don't know when they will be able to meet, all units put on a feast to celebrate their achievements, and the soldiers drink as if they were drinking boiled water.

Those officers in the logistics department circulated Li Guolou's poems, shaking their heads and pretending to be Confucian generals, and crooked poems one after another, as if they could enter the rank of sergeant in this way.

The camp was full of joy and peace, and Li Guolou finally slept peacefully, poured three bowls of yellow soup, and slept until dawn.

The next day, Li Guolou led more than 100 Goshha to Keelung Harbor, to command the Daqingshui Division to fight, the Daqingshui Division finally looked forward to the right time, place and people, for this naval battle, Li Guolou has been preparing for a long time, he wants to use the bloodiest means to defeat the Japanese Navy.

Li Guolou was in high spirits, straddling horses and galloping, more than 100 cavalrymen, dressed in the same way, with silk scarves covering their faces, from the outside, it was difficult to tell which commander it was.

The hearts of the people in Taiwan have been here in the Qing Dynasty, but there are a very small number of people who stubbornly resist to the end, and there are still enemies along the way who have cold guns, so Li Guolou is still cautious in his march, never showing off his identity, and dressing up is no different from ordinary officers and soldiers.

The Japanese are a nation that likes assassination, ninjas disguised as ethnic minority people, mingling in the villages, wanting to assassinate the commander of the Qing army, and people who put cold guns along the way, there are Japanese ninjas, all of whom are sharpshooters.

Li Guolou is on guard everywhere, he has encountered many dangers, but because of the appropriate measures, he has not personally taken risks, he has just experienced a big battle, won the final victory, and the territory of the Qing Dynasty is along the way, Li Guolou's mind is a little relaxed, and he does not think much about "Japanese ninjas" in his mind.

Dusk is approaching, the horse team came to Xindian Town, Li Guolou once set up the headquarters here, lived in Xindian Town for a period of time, people have inertial thinking, Li Guolou is the same, thought of the warm hospitality of the people of Xindian Town, the mouth is full of relish, the horsewhip pointed to the watchtower in front, and said with a smile: "Knife handle, we still live in the landlord's old rich house at night." ”

"Okay, I'll go to the front station first and see what is delicious at Lao Cai's house." Without thinking much about it, the scabbard Yun led a small group of cavalry and took the lead in entering Xindian Town.

The horses' hooves stepped on the bluestone road, and the scabbard cloud and a group of thirty people looked left and right, and finally saw a decent town.

There are friendly smiles along the way, during the war, the military is the most purchasing customer, the merchants like the presence of the military master, the cordial shouting, so that the horse team can't help but slow down the pace, everything looks so coordinated, there is nothing wrong.

The Xinwu Army already has three battalions of cavalry and more than 700 war horses, which have the upper hand in fighting on the plains, and this war horse was personally trained by Dao Sheayun and transported from the mainland of the motherland to Taiwan by relying on Li Guolou's abundant financial resources.

There are many sentry posts along the way, the Qing army and the soldiers patrol the street together, there are Qing troops stationed nearby, Xindian Town is the rear, there is no war, the scabbard cloud relaxed his vigilance, did not notice that there are a few unfamiliar faces, secretly observing this horse team.

With the help of two traitors, two Japanese ninjas were already hiding in Xindian Town, and they wanted to make a big deal and assassinate the commander of the Qing army.

The Japanese assassination team discovered that Li Guolou, the supreme commander of the Qing army, once lived in the house of the big landlord Cai Guoxi, so the key place to wait was Cai Guoxi's house.

The last time Li Guolou stayed at Cai Guoxi's house, the precautions were very strict, and Xindian Town implemented military control, which was unknown to outsiders.

But after Li Guolou left, the military control has been canceled, Cai Guoxi will naturally boast about himself, Li Guolou lives in his house, what he has eaten, what he has said, has become Cai Guoxi's after-dinner conversation, and the people in the town know about it.

The two traitors inquired about some of Li Guolou's situation, and informed the two Japanese ninjas, and the four of them thought that Li Guolou was likely to come again, so they waited for the rabbit here, pretended to be a hawker, and set up two stalls not far from Cai Guoxi's house, and sure enough, they waited for Li Guolou to come for the second time.

No one expected that there were several Japanese ninjas hiding in Xindian Town, and Li Guolou walked into a trap set by a Japanese assassination team.

When the horse team came to the gate of the Cai family's compound, the scabbard jumped off the horse, his movements were crisp and neat, and he shouted loudly: "Lao Cai, my friend is here, and I haven't come out to greet him." ”

"Oh, it's you, knife handle, I knew you were a friend enough, come, go in and talk." Cai Guoxi walked out of the mansion, saw the scabbard cloud, couldn't help laughing, and warmly invited the scabbard cloud into the house.

The scabbard Yun was originally a person in the rivers and lakes, speaking loudly, joking without any scruples, and the two entered the compound hand in hand.

In accordance with military regulations, Sheayun arranged four sentry posts at the door, which was Ming's duty officer, and ten sentry posts were also arranged in the compound, and each floor window of the watchtower was guarded by a sharpshooter, and each gate of the courtyard was arranged with a sentry.

The other Goshha first inspected Cai Guoxi's house, and found no strange faces, Cai Guoxi's family of fifteen, from family members to servants, did not behave abnormally, and Goshha searched every corner.

The ten members of Cai Guoxi's family were arranged to move to the courtyard on the west side, and did not come into contact with Li Guolou's Qing guards.

Cai Guoxi had an experience and asked his family to move a few rooms to prepare to entertain Li Guolou and his party.

The Japanese invasion of Taiwan, so that many people upside down, uprooted from their hometowns, there are many strangers to Xindian Town to beg for a living, there are a lot of people on the street stalls, Cai Guoxi is a local tyrant, in the national crisis, take the lead in donating money and materials, Cai Guoxi sent half of the family to serve the country, to fight the Japanese invaders, refugees set up stalls at the door of his house, as long as it does not affect the family travel, will not drive people away, Cai family instead to help refugees, make a great gesture of benevolence.

It is precisely because Cai Guoxi is a patriotic gentleman that Li Guolou lives in Cai Guoxi's house with confidence, Li Guolou still likes to deal with rich people in his bones, and he will not feel indebted to others when he eats and drinks.

There are many ethnic minorities in Taiwan, the language is equally complicated, two Japanese ninjas are mixed in the refugees, and two traitors are covering, and there are no flaws, these four killers were not discovered by the Qing army patrol.

As Li Guolou's personal guard, all actions have been formulaic, and each Goshha has its own duties, and soon the sentry in the Cai family's compound was arranged.

The Cai family's compound, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, can't even fly a bird in, but there are more than a dozen stalls at the gate of the compound, and no one cares.

The obese Cai Guoxi didn't notice that there were Japanese in the two stalls, and stood at the gate politely, waiting for Li Guolou to arrive, followed by the big housekeeper Cai Lao Nie.

A big black-spotted dog raised by the Cai family, with a flower intestine, seemed to know that a big man was coming, begging to wag his tail and follow his master.

At this time, the sky will be dark, it is time to close the stalls, there are not many stalls on both sides of the street, more than a dozen stall owners pack up the goods, are ready to go back, some stall owners saw the Qing soldiers suddenly set up a sentry, curiously stopped, want to see who will come to the Cai family compound.

The four killers in two of the stalls had already discovered an unusual scene, a team of well-equipped Qing soldiers suddenly came to the Cai family compound, and at a glance, they knew that a Qing army official was coming to the Cai family compound to spend the night.

The four people in the two stalls made eye contact with each other, nodded understandingly, and secretly put guns and grenades into their pockets, preparing for the assassination operation, but they were accurately calculated by the four assassins, and the blind cat met Li Guolou.

Li Guolou slowly drove into the alley with the horse team, and Li Guolou's veil was still wearing, for fear of being watched by passers-by.

Li Guolou has already become a legendary figure in the Qing Dynasty, his portrait is offered in the brothel, and the folk pretend to be Zhao Zilong's prestige and establish the Zilong Temple, which is actually Li Guolou's "ancestral hall", and the people's homes offer his portrait to Guan Gong together.

Li Guolou is quite like the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian of the Ming Dynasty, with the support of the queen mother of the two palaces, the power leans towards the government and the opposition, and the local officials are eager to build the Zilong Temple, which is more magnificent than the Guandi Temple, just to flatter Li Guolou.

As long as Li Guolou appears on the street, it will cause traffic jams, so Li Guolou tries not to appear in public places, and rides a horse with a veil to avoid unnecessary trouble.

A horse team of more than 70 people entered the alley, and Li Guolou faced the biggest crisis in his life.
