There are also 1,000 long-term husbands in the Xinwu Army, they do not belong to the establishment of the army, but they can be regarded as reservists, in the Xinwu Army, they are considered corporals, receive two yuan of silver per month, and wear gray military uniforms and helmets like soldiers, but there is no mark on their shoulders

The driver of the gun carriage was the chief husband, and I saw the carriages passing in front of the review stand, the long husband had a green crown of plants woven from his helmet, the gun carriage was full of green branches, and the long man stood on the gun stand, and a disguised green team saluted the chief on the stage when he passed by the review stand

Behind the convoy was a phalanx of long-term men carrying 30 pounds of shells on their shoulders, all of them with bears and tigers, striding vigorously and vigorously

A thousand long-term husbands have been trained by Li Guolou to become elite soldiers, and their momentum is no worse than that of soldiers, their feet are on the ground, and even the review table trembles, and Zhang Renjun on the review table can no longer hold back and say angrily: "Master Fu Xiang, Li Guolou disturbs the public security in Shandong, you let him come to suppress bandits, but recruiting troops here violates military discipline, where is the national law, how can I carry out my work in the future?"

Li Hongzhang pointed his hand up and replied: "Zhang Futai, this is not the meaning of this official, you understand, without Li Guolou's favor, the military department must make adjustments according to his intentions, you have to adapt to his ideas, you cooperate in order to restore Shandong and Changping, and end this mutiny as soon as possible, you are the meritorious man, otherwise Sun Meijing will become a rogue, then it will become a catastrophe again, no matter how hard you work, the court will blame you, and I can't protect you."

Zhang Renjun understood the meaning as soon as he heard it, and the new military army that had made great achievements in the war was in Shandong, and Sun Meijing did not dare to rebel, now is not the time to turn his face with Li Guolou, if Li Guolou left Shandong in a bad mood and the negotiations were repeated, then he was the scapegoat

Zhang Renjun's expression said, change will change, stroked the two beards, looked at Li Guolou with appreciation, and said with a smile: "If it is really Zhao Zilong of the Great Qing Kingdom, the Xinwu Army is mighty, you all have to learn from the Xinwu Army, tap your own potential, and increase the income of the soldiers, you see that people don't need to pay an extra copper plate from the Ministry of War, they are all funded by themselves, and even the chief husband is so energetic, I have no money now, you have the ability to learn from He Fengyu, go to Li Guolou to ask for money."

Behind him, a group of warlords only promised to ask Li Guolou for money, that is, to march forward with artillery fire like the Yanzhou army, and fight in the Yimeng Mountain, that is, to exchange their military exploits for the check in Li Guolou's hand, and they are not short of money in their pockets, how can they exchange their lives for money

The warlord is a local concept, as long as he does not move his territory, he will not work hard, if it is to defend his hometown, the warlord will fight his life, and he will come up to the guest country to fight, to bully the weak with the strong, that is a drum, if the territory laid down by the war of attrition is not his, how can the warlord be willing to use his life to make friends with each other, say hello, empty time, and do not move the real character, so these warlords stationed in the strategic place of Yimeng Mountain are only to watch a play, and do not go into the mountains to suppress bandits

Li Hongzhang also didn't think about letting his subordinates go desperately, and it was the established policy to promote peace by war, and now the Lincheng garrison has been beaten and eliminated, and most of the troops of the Lincheng garrison have been eliminated, and the next thing is to appease Sun Meijing and let Sun Meijing accept Zhao'an, how can Zhang Renjun take Sun Meijing after Zhao'an, he will stay out of the matter, and Sun Meijing will not be worry-free for a while, and Sun Meijing will be safe for a lifetime

Li Guolou's gray women's army was dispatched, and I saw 200 heroic female soldiers carrying spears and walking past the review stand, each female soldier with a red scarf around her neck, and the captain with the leader riding on a white horse, it was Li Guolou's little wife Ping'an, this team added a scenery

There was a commotion on the review stand, and the civil and military generals all stretched their necks and salivated at the two hundred big-footed girls who did not like red makeup and loved arms, and it was the first time in their lives that they saw female soldiers, which made people quite curious

The warlord with dirty ideas was thinking wildly, Li Guolou's harem was no less than that of Emperor Tongzhi, everyone showed a lewd smile on their faces, and nodded implicitly, Li Guolou really trained the camp prostitutes into an elite army, and I don't know if there was any regression in the kung fu in bed

Zhang Renjun said in a low voice: "Master Fu Xiang, this person is the vermilion lantern who turned against the water for Li Guolou."

"Oh, yes, wait a while, let her accompany the wine and perform spells, let us also see the magic of the vermilion lantern," Li Hongzhang heard the magic of the vermilion lantern, and was quite interested in this strange woman in the rivers and lakes, so he couldn't help but raise his binoculars and carefully look at the female captain, who was delicate and fair-skinned, and looked less than twenty years old

Where did everyone put a group of female soldiers in their eyes, thinking that these 200 female soldiers were vases of the new armed army, and did not see the value of female soldiers

The officers walking in the front row were all armed with revolvers at their waists and holding sabers to salute Li Hongzhang, and their unsmiling faces were the warriors who rushed to the battlefield

Li Hongzhang was full of emotion: "Long live our emperor, the country is difficult to produce a heroic new army, its momentum has become a future, and it can become 100,000 soldiers to dominate Greater East Asia."

"Yes, it's still Master Fu Xiang's training method, a new-look Huai Army Army has finally been trained, and it all relies on the Beiyang Navy Division to add glory," Zhang Renjun was the first to echo, and then the sound of sycophants rolled in, and the review table was full of auspicious words to congratulate Li Hongzhang

Li Hongzhang smug, smugly, with three strands of beard, accept the favor of everyone, with the right person can get things done, this is his creed, the new army is a new army of the Huai Army, it took his countless efforts, Li Hongzhang controls all the fruits of victory, Li Guolou is just a pawn on his chessboard, the new military army was originally a piece of chicken ribs, and now it is another new force of the Huai army, which makes him more excited than Zhang Yao's Songwu army, Li Guolou is good at strategy, and can fully meet the trust he has given

Li Hongzhang received a secret report from the British minister Wei Tuma, that the Japanese army had landed in Langqiao, a port in eastern Taiwan, in April, and formed a so-called "Taiwan Shengfan Expedition" of 3,000 people, led by Lieutenant General Saigo Congmichi, to invade Taiwan, under the pretext that Japan was crusading against the Paiwan tribe, killing 54 Ryukyu drifters, and attacking Taiwan's Shengfan land, under the pretext that the Shengfan land was not a Qing Dynasty

Langqiao is a place of birth, is under the jurisdiction of Taiwan's ethnic minorities, Langqiao does not have a government agency directly under the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty's important towns and ports are in the east and west of Taiwan, Taiwan's town commander-in-chief Liu Mingdeng and Taiwan's town Shengfan allied Peony Society, relations are not harmonious, and the reason is that of course the Manchu and Han belong to foreign nationalities, and if they want to settle in Taiwan, they must occupy the land of ethnic minorities at the first pass

Although the land of Taiwan belongs to the barbaric land, but Taiwan is an island inhabited by aborigines, it can be said that the ethnic minorities are the masters of this land, and the migration of the Han people to Taiwan has historical records from the Tang Dynasty, but there is no government to organize immigration, and a large number of Han people immigrated to Taiwan after Zheng Chenggong occupied Taiwan at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The Manchu Qing Dynasty believed that Taiwan was a desert island, and no one could prevent the Qing Dynasty from developing Taiwan's national policy, but the ethnic minorities believed that this was the land left by their ancestors, and they had lived in this land for generations, whether it was Zheng Chenggong or the Qing Emperor, for Taiwan's ethnic minorities, it was the invaders who opened up the territory and the history of blood and tears, which can be seen in the history of Westerners' development of the American continent

Most of the ethnic minorities in Taiwan who resisted the rule of the Qing Dynasty by force were exterminated, and their deeds were also wiped out, and the ethnic minorities who survived in the long river of history could only recognize the Qing Emperor as their father, and the tribe migrated to the mountains, and the aborigines of Taiwan became alpine peoples, and gave the plains to the Manchu and Han immigrants

For Taiwan's birth, the Qing people did not speak of trust, repeatedly violated their oaths, and at this time, Taiwan's ethnic minorities formed associations

The Peony Society responded to the Qing government in a united manner, and Taiwan's ethnic minorities were full of hatred for foreign ethnic invasions of their territory, which is why the killing of Ryukyu drifters occurred

It can be said that Liu Mingdeng, the commander-in-chief of Taiwan Town, and Wu Dating, Fujian Taiwan Dao, bear unshirkable responsibility for governing their subordinates and killing the Ryukyu drifters, but the Qing government did not punish them, as if they died, and the 54 Ryukyu drifters had nothing to do with the Qing government

Due to the astringent nature of the intelligence work, Liu Mingdeng, the commander-in-chief of Taiwan Town, had not yet received the news of the landing of Japanese troops in Langqiao, but was informed by the British that the Qing government had landed on Taiwanese soil

Prince Gong and Li Hongzhang were quite dissatisfied with Liu Mingdeng, the commander-in-chief of Taiwan Town, and had already told Liu Mingdeng to take more precautions and pay attention to the movements of the Japanese, but they did not take the secret decree of the Military Aircraft Department seriously, and the matter was still muddy, and they did not even submit a letter of apology, but this was not the time for accountability, Li Hongzhang had already prepared, Bai Langning's 2,000 Changsheng troops had been stationed in Mawei Port in Fujian, and his henchman Liu Mingchuan led a thousand Mingwu troops to sit in the Taiwan Mansion, and Shen Baozhen led a thousand Nanyang naval divisions to sit in Penghu Luer Port

When the Qing government received the news of Japan's invasion of Taiwan, Prime Minister Prince Gong Yixun lodged a formal protest against the Japanese minister, demanding that the Japanese troops immediately withdraw from Taiwan, and the Japanese minister Fukushima Yasuken claimed that if he killed the Paiwan chieftain Ashlu, the Japanese army would withdraw from Taiwan under the pretext of revenge

This kind of prevarication made Prince Gong indignant and scolded on the spot, but the Japanese minister was as humble as ever, bowing and apologizing, but gritted his teeth and refused to withdraw to the Japanese troops in Taiwan

Li Hongzhang has made full preparations, and he still has a trump card, Li Guolou has been preparing for Taiwan for a long time, and the Xinwu Army is preparing for the war in Taiwan

Li Hongzhang rushed from Jinan to Beizhuang Town as soon as possible, and Li Guolou discussed how to deal with the Japanese army's invasion of Taiwan and prepare to transfer the Xinwu Army to Mawei Port in Fujian

Li Guolou's momentum is like a rainbow, crossing a horse like flying, shuttling in front of a team, showing off his martial arts, commanding the new martial arts army in a short period of time, training into 2,000 elite soldiers, this is his ability, Liu Ming passed on to him, leaving him a group of second-class products, but he relied on this group of second-class products to win honors and wins, and now the new martial arts army is fully equipped and set off to meet greater challenges

The bandits holding the calf could only be let go temporarily, but Li Guolou had already prepared a big gift for Sun Meijing, and he wanted to let Sun Meijing have no return

Today's military parade was to boost morale and Li Guolou looked at the officers and men under his command with great pride

Rows of gun-wielding soldiers saluted him when they saw Li Guolou, but there was not much nervousness on their faces, and fighting was a matter of course for the Xinwu Army

Their faces with serious expressions were young and green, and they took on the rise and fall of the country, Li Guolou nodded slightly, put away his sword, and sang military songs

The majestic and loud military song rushed to the mountains and rivers, making everyone's blood boil, and the civilian and military generals on the review platform sang together, Li Hongzhang burst into tears, and tore his throat loudly

A good man who generously goes to righteousness spills his blood on the battlefield and does not look back, the wolf runs to the tiger, the twilight road is poor, and there is no way to find a way in front of him, Chinese man, why don't you rush forward bravely, sleep the lion for a thousand years, sleep the lion for a thousand years, a husband for a thousand years, raise your arms, and ten thousand husbands

I have a treasure knife, generosity, from the Rong strike, the strong wind, the decisive victory, the field of Qi, Changhong, ancient and modern, how many strange husbands, broken heads, Huang Chen, Yan Ran, Le Gong, so far, the blood is still red

Li Guolou's heart was surging, and he resolutely pulled out his sword and shouted: "Advance to the east"

"Advance East"

"Advance East"

“”

The whole audience roared and the tsunami roared, the whole army raised its arms and shouted, the morale of the new armed army was greatly boosted, those bandits who returned to the army were eager to dig out their hearts and lungs to show their fists and fists, and the country broke mountains and rivers to pieces, so that every Chinese could unite together, Li Guolou was the cohesion of the new armed army, and the new armed army rushed to the battlefield without hesitation under the leadership of Li Guolou, even if it was blood and red battle flags

After the review, the whole team returned to the camp to hunt and hunt, and the battle flag was filled with a sense of slaughter, and the soldiers were busy packing up their weapons and equipment, disassembling their guns, putting guns on their weapons, and preparing for the upcoming battle

Li Hongzhang will go to Mawei Port in Fujian, where he will command the overall situation, walk with the Xinwu Army, and negotiate with the Japanese, with Prince Gong in charge

However, Li Hongzhang was still a little cowardly in his heart, and he was as painful as using the Great Clear Water Master to dig out his heart, Li Hongzhang asked in a low voice at the banquet: "How about Li Guolou's victory or defeat?"

Li Guolou said solemnly: "Your Excellency Prime Minister wants me to say that the heart of the army and the people are in our hands, and we can also subdue the heart of Taiwan in a war, and now it is just right to take action."

"Oh, that's reasonable," Li Hongzhang was cunning and understood the meaning of Li Guolou's words

Li Guolou vowed to promise Li Hongzhang that he had the ability to command the naval battle and would definitely defeat the Japanese aggressors, hoping that Li Hongzhang would hand over the command of various Taiwan departments to him, instead of Liu Mingchuan, who had arrived in Taiwan earlier, but Li Hongzhang took a bite of the bullet and said that this was the issue and would make a decision after arriving at Mawei Port in Fujian

Li Guolou kept stalking in Li Hongzhang's ear, how he planned the Battle of Shenfengling, as well as the water battle of Weishan Lake and the mountains and flowing water, all of which were conquered by him, and the meaning was self-evident

Li Hongzhang was cunning and smiling, and finally said, "Li Guolou, can you capture the calf?"

Li Guolou was speechless, and he didn't want military command here in Li Hongzhang, so he looked for solace in Ping'an
