During the break, the students gathered together talked about the competition between "fake foreign devils" and "Zhang Mantis", and spoke highly of Li Guolou. The winner in the army is king, and no one sympathizes with the loser, and Li Guolou immediately becomes the side of justice. Someone learned the strange movements of mantis boxing, and immediately won applause.

In the infirmary, Zhang Peilun had woken up, his face was wrapped in layers of gauze, and splints were placed on both sides of his nose to fix the broken bridge of his nose. He glanced at Liu Mingchuan in shame, bowed his head and said, "Gong Liu, blame me for not being 'fine' in learning, which makes you embarrassed." ”

"Hey! Say what you are good, I don't know how thick the sky is. You have kindness in your heart, but people make painful moves, and this game is incomparable. This is also a lesson for you, don't look at no one anymore, look at the bad things you do, and ruin the reputation of Mantis Boxing. But there are also benefits, Master Fu Xiang remembers you, and you will have a great future in the future. It's good to be alive and recuperate, I like your posture of daring to fight. Next time you look at your opponent and challenge it, don't look for an opponent who is stronger than you, it's not a level. Liu Mingchuan comforted the wounded and sick Zhang Peilun, and then left the infirmary. The truth has been analyzed, Li Guolou, who is hiding in the British Concession to practice boxing, has two brushes, and his ruthless tricks to control the enemy should not be underestimated.

Zhang Peilun was lying on the 'bed' in the infirmary, feeling sorry for himself, who can blame? It was he who impulsively found Li Guolou, so he could only admit it, and he was afraid that he would not have a chance to take revenge. However, he has no regrets at all, and the courage to challenge is also a kind of 'spirit' of striving for progress. No, the chiefs all know him, Goshha, who can fight mantis boxing, and he has a great future in the future, which is what the master "Liu Liu Mazi" told him. Thinking of the good side, Zhang Peilun was in a much better mood, and the pain on his face slowly disappeared.

Liu Mingchuan is a martial artist, a thick-skinned pig. His subordinates lost a game, and he quickly calmed down and caught up with the large army in a hurry. began to shout, as if the development of the new martial arts hall was all his credit.

After lunch, in the Great Hall, on the rostrum, Li Hongzhang talked eloquently in front of nearly 1,000 students and instructors, expressing his feelings of patriotism for the people. Warm applause, one after another. Li Hongzhang, who is eloquent and eloquent, has a freshly released speech, and he is even more heroic, and the weak Qing Dynasty will only stand on top of the world if it relies on the rise of a generation of young intellectual officers.

Li Hongzhang's one-hour informative speech was compact, rigorous, and had many laughs, so that the school officials in the venue did not have time to take notes, and they also laughed with the students. A tall and complete image of Li Hongzhang is displayed in front of everyone. At the end of the meeting, Li Hongzhang was full of interest, splashed ink on the spot, and gave the title to Xinwutang.

The husband only holds the Wu hook in his hand, and his spirit is higher than that of a hundred-foot building; Who has written history for 10,000 years? Eight thousand miles away to find a marquis.

will definitely take a quick step with you, and there will be leisure to chase the water gulls! Laughing at the moon by the Lugou Bridge, how many people have come to Yingzhou from now on?

Another topic: Build the new martial arts hall into a modern national defense academy and carry forward the "spirit" spirit of the Eight Banners of loyalty and patriotism. Self-improvement, seeking wealth, and opening up the road to a fresh empire!

The surroundings applauded loudly, and praised repeatedly, "Master Fu Xiang, talent and affection are unique!" ”

Fan Dahui learned from Li Guolou's appearance, 'touched' his nose, and looked at Li Hongzhang, isn't this the sentence that Li Guolou came up with? How did it get to Li Hongzhang's pen, and after thinking about it again, Li Guolou was completely defeated, and he didn't even dare to do anything about the problem. The "old fox" is too powerful, and even Li Guolou, who is good at dancing with long sleeves, is not his opponent. Fan Dahui didn't dare to applaud loudly, for fear of violating Li Hongzhang's taboo. echoing the person next to him, he made an approving expression and let out a "hmm!" from his nose. Approval.

In the afternoon, the students were in class, and Li Hongzhang was not interested in academic classes, saying that he wanted to listen to a tactical class. This made a group of school officials in Xinwutang very embarrassed, and they all 'shot' at Liu Jie.

Liu Jie approached Li Hongzhang and said in a low voice: "Master Fu Xiang, there are no problems in academic classes, Li Guolou checks at all levels, and talks about the idea of loyalty and patriotism. Tactics ······ The outlines we got were all unfavorable to the Qing army, and most of them were battles that our Qing Dynasty lost, you see······"

As expected, Li Guolou harbored evil intentions and dared to expose his shortcomings. Li Hongzhang didn't 'show' his voice and 'lust', and stroked his beard and said: "Well, it doesn't matter, I like to listen to the truth about the gains and losses." ”

Liu Jie arched his hand and said: "Master Fu Xiang, here in the tactical class, no one can speak on the high ground, you must not be angry." ”

"Liu Jie, you go and arrange it, don't be nervous. How could I be angry with a student? The school official dared to say bluntly, this is a good thing. Li Hongzhang wanted to know, in Li Guolou's eyes, what was the Qing army like? looked at the handouts, and said: "Let's talk about Prince Bodol Katai, Zeng Greenqin, and the Battle of Bali Bridge." ”

"Okay, okay! I'll arrange it. Liu Jie broke out in a cold sweat, Li Guolou's poisonous tongue was about to cause trouble this time, how could he write such a handout.

"Gong Liu, release Li Guolou for me!" Li Hongzhang suddenly ordered.

Just after being locked in the confinement room for more than two hours, Li Guolou faced another crisis in his life and timidly walked into the classroom. There are more than 30 students, and there are more than 30 officers led by Li Hongzhang, a huge model is placed in the middle of the classroom, there is a blackboard in front, and the people who listen to the class sit at will, and some people simply stand next to the model to listen to the class, and the school officer who gives the lecture is his confidant in the past, and the military academy ---- Chengkun.

Li Guolou saw that the blackboard read "The Gains and Losses of the Battle of Baliqiao", and immediately understood, and said without hesitation: "Officer Cheng, speak generously, I will bear what it has to do with it." ”

"Yes!" Cheng Kun had confidence and raised his head. Waving a bamboo 'stick' in his hand, he said loudly: "Today we talk about the Battle of Bali Bridge commanded by Zeng Greenqin, a national hero of the Qing Dynasty, which is to let us remember history, not forget the national shame, and know why our Qing Dynasty accepted the humiliating "Beijing Treaty". And on us, we have to take the responsibility for the revival of the Qing Empire, and we have to change many outdated concepts, instead of burying our heads in the sand like ostriches, pretending that the world is dark, thinking about nothing, and just acting according to orders. ”

"The 'elite' cavalry that first fought against Britain and France at Bali Bridge was composed of the 'Mongolian', Manchurian, and Han Eight Banners, and the 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry in Monan was the largest. And the Anglo-French army had not only infantry but also the cavalry of the Indian Asan, the so-called Sikh cavalry regiment. In May of the ninth year of Xianfeng, Zeng Greenqin thwarted the invading British and French fleets at Dagukou, destroying 10 enemy ships and destroying more than 500 enemies. This was the only victory of the Qing Dynasty in the Second National War, and Zeng Greenqin contributed to the Qing Dynasty's resistance to foreign humiliation. In the summer of the following year, 17,000 British and French troops invaded. He did not defend Beitang, and the enemy took advantage of the gap to land, and the battle was unfavorable, and the Qing army retreated to Tianjin. ”

Cheng Kun pointed to the model and said: "Let me first talk about the first 'encounter' of 'confrontation', when it was a combination of hundreds of cavalry against the British and French forces. Before the war, Zeng Lingqin was not confident in a naval battle with the British and French forces, but he was still quite confident in a decisive battle with the opponent on land. It can be seen from his arrangement that he concentrated the 'elite' cavalry at that time, preparing for a decisive battle on land with the British and French forces near Bali Bridge and Tongzhou, which were relatively close to the Beijing Division. There is still merit in this kind of tactical thinking, seeing its own shortcomings, and giving full play to its own advantages in terms of geographical advantages is enough to offset the deterrence of the naval guns of the British and French fleets. Moreover, Zeng Lingqin was quite confident, believing that the 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry in Eurasia was still strong in combat and could defeat the British and French forces on land. In early August, the British and French forces marched to Tianjin after a short rest in Beitang, where they had landed. When more than 1,000 British and French infantry could see the city of Tianjin in the suburbs, they were blocked by hundreds of cavalry composed of 'Mongolian', Manchu and Han banners. Although the Eight Banners cavalry only held broadswords, spears and some backward arquebuses, spears and other weapons, but the British and French more than 1,000 infantry still did not have the courage to attack directly, but stationed on the spot waiting for the Indian Asarsan cavalry to wait for backup, but unfortunately the Qing Eight Banners cavalry did not master the fleeting fighters, but formed a confrontation. ”

Li Guolou stood up, interrupted the instructor's words, and said: "Here I want to add that close combat and night combat are the weaknesses of the British and French forces. If the main general dares to invest superior forces at night, he can completely break down the infantry camp of the British and French forces, and use cavalry to fight infantry, it is to fight to the death. An army that does not dare to fight in close quarters is useless. Putting the battlefield on the battlefield and facing off against the British and French forces, the chance of winning will not exceed 50%, this is my opinion, and if you have different views, you can also speak freely. ”

Liu Mingchuan shouted: "That's right, if Lao Tzu is on the front line, mobilizes all the soldiers and horses, and is the first to rush forward and fight all night, it is completely possible to wipe out these more than 1,000 British and French troops." ”

"Hey!" Li Hongzhang was deeply touched, the soldiers of the Eight Banners, who were weak and difficult to return, how could they dare to take the initiative to charge and attack the British and French forces regardless of sacrifice, and raised his hand and said: "Officer Cheng, what you said is very good, continue to speak." Needless to say, if you are the main general, there is no way to deal with those soldiers. ”

Cheng Kun nodded and continued: "A few days later, the British general He Bu, who was lame in the second artillery battle at Dagukou, gathered several hundred Indian cavalry, let the cavalry bypass the Qing cavalry and attack from behind, while the infantry advanced from the front with cannons and muskets. When the battle began, the Qing cavalry acted recklessly, did not understand the laws of modern warfare, and launched an attack on the infantry positions of the British and French forces, while the British and French forces attacked with the new Armtrand cannons, and the Qing cavalry could not approach the enemy positions at all just by relying on the indiscriminate bombardment of the artillery. The Qing army suffered heavy losses after several successive charges, and the cavalry of the Indian Ah San 'fired' at the Qing army from a distance with muskets. The Qing army could only fight back with bows and arrows, and in the end the Qing army had to retreat, and was chased and cut down by the Indian Asansar cavalry all the way, with great losses. Fortunately, the sudden torrential rain saved the Qing army, stopped the pursuit of the Indian Asars, and saved it from annihilation. From the first round of the battlefield, it is not difficult for us to see that rigid orders harm others and themselves, and the initiative on the battlefield is not firmly grasped, which can obviously become a war of attrition, but heroism is rampant, and we still think that the way of fighting stays in the Yuan Dynasty. Four hundred years have passed, and our minds are stuck in four hundred years ago. This dead man has turned to ashes, why our minds are still so rigid, this is the revelation of an encounter. Won't the Qing army change? The rigid tactical system must be changed, you will all be the ones who lead the troops in the future, and relying on the main general alone to command the battle against the map will not win any modern war. This battlefield is a face, you need countless points to support, you are the countless points on the battlefield, only when each of you wins a small victory and takes the initiative, the tactical intention of the main general can be realized. Officers who can't command troops to fight are the tumors of the army, and their rigid thinking will make countless heroic Eight Banner soldiers die, but they die worthless. Failed battles, it is because you don't work hard, it will cause a comprehensive passivity, blaming a master general is not comprehensive is also a manifestation of shirking responsibility, only each of you has become stronger, the main general will naturally be stronger. If you want Han Xin to be reincarnated, you are still holding the ancient military book in your hand and using the combat methods of four hundred years ago, and this reincarnated Zhuge Liang will also kill himself in Wujiang. ”

Master Xu Chan coughed desperately, Li Hongzhang claimed to be Xiao Zhuge , isn't this satirizing "Master Fu Xiang"?

Li Hongzhang was deeply touched, stood up, and took the lead in applauding. Cheng Kun, the commander of the commendation school, said that from an encounter, he can tell the stubborn disease of the Qing army, the main general is not omnipotent, and the quality of the whole army is the key to the success or failure of the army. Li Guolou is a bit level, there are not many people who can see through this layer, and he usually blames the chief general for his incompetence afterwards, or he will say which general took the lead in escaping, and even the history books put the blame on a certain person. In fact, the most crucial factor is the quality of the whole army.
