On the slopes of Luoxing Mountain, the officers and soldiers of Changsheng rushed to 'plant' the battle flag on the peak, as if winning a great victory, Li Guolou looked at the mongrels of the Changsheng army, and couldn't help but feel sorry for this army, Li Hongzhang stationed this army in Mawei Port in order to boost the morale of the Qing army, put pressure on the Japanese army, and let the people of the world know that the Changsheng army was already in Mawei Port, and would not send this army to Taiwan

It's a pity that these promising young people in the concession still thought that they could go to Taiwan to fight for the motherland, Li Guolou was quite polite to Bai Langning, and felt that the Chang Shengjun was 'excited' to help him in times of crisis, and implicitly borrowed a few military doctors from Bai Langning

Bai Langning, Mu Zhimu Jue, and thought that Li Guolou had a request, so he generously lent the military doctor Fan Lipu and others to the Xinwu Army

Li Guolou got cheap, and obediently patted Bai Langning's shoulder and said: "Bai Tongzhi is enough friends, let's meet again in Taiwan and fight together."

Bai Langning nodded very seriously and said, "Well, of course I'm looking forward to that day."

Li Guolou saluted Bai Langning, expressing the feeling of the soldier's 'excitement', and then walked away, he didn't want to fight side by side with the Chang Shengjun

Bolt looked at Li Guolou and disappeared into the jungle and said softly: "Don't you see the white system, Li Guolou's attitude towards us this time is different from the past"

"How is it different" Bai Langning looked at the soldiers on the hillside very relaxed, and thought that he was the savior of the Qing Dynasty

"Li Guolou is too polite and too stingy, that is, he didn't think of rewarding the Chang Shengjun Bai under what circumstances, Li Guolou will be stingy when he makes a move," Bolt pointed out Li Guolou's hypocrisy and saw that Li Guolou wanted to part ways with the Chang Shengjun and refused to share the battle merits to the Chang Shengjun

"Well, there is some truth, I'll go to find out the tone of Master Fu Xiang," Bai Langning stayed in the Qing Dynasty for a long time, understood the rules of the Qing Dynasty officialdom, pulled his 'legs', walked to Li Hongzhang's residence, thinking about Li Hongzhang's every move, don't be guessed by Bolt, Li Hongzhang regarded Chang Shengjun as a statue and offered it on the shrine

Soon, an undercurrent surged in the victorious army, and the soldiers of the victorious army, who had high morale, began to complain, handed over the petition one after another, and even went to the Xinwu army garrison to make trouble, asking Li Guolou to give them a satisfactory answer

Li Guolou dealt with the troublesome Changsheng army soldiers, bitterly persuaded the Changsheng army soldiers, and gave the Changsheng army soldiers a satisfactory answer, anyway, he would not throw away the compatriots who were in trouble here, and the Changsheng army soldiers left happily, Li Guolou went to the meeting proudly, and let the Changsheng army garrison Mawei Port was a decision made by Li Hongzhang, and he also thought that the Changsheng army stationed in Mawei Port was a deterrent to the Japanese army, so that he would not hurt his brain for the question of the Changsheng army's stay

Li Henian, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, has already sat in Mawei Port, sent 2,000 officers and soldiers to Keelung Port, relieved the pressure of Liu Mingdeng, the chief soldier of Taiwan Town, who is short of troops, and several important military towns in Taiwan are still in the hands of the Qing army, Liu Mingdeng, the chief soldier of Taiwan Town, after a winter expansion, the available troops exceeded 10,000 people, it can be said that Taiwan's advantage is still in the hands of the Qing army, and the Qing army has an absolute advantage, so Li Henian's attitude towards Li Hongzhang is still quite chic, and he is graceful and generous as an official, and he considers himself a meritorious man

The military meeting was held in the Maweigang School, presided over by Li Hongzhang, attended by Li Guolou, Li Henian, Ding Richang, and others, and Li Henian talked endlessly about the development of the Taiwan war situation and the layout he had planned, as if he knew the Taiwan war well

Li Hongzhang was old and sophisticated, and listened to Li Henian's words silently, without showing his impatience

Li Guolou was impatient to hear it, how could he hear that now he didn't hear the proud achievements of the Qing army, but only heard that the Taiwanese officers and soldiers guarding the important military town had repelled several attacks by the Japanese army, and more than 10,000 Qing troops held the defensive line

"Li Dashuai is a little unsure that there are no troops fighting in the field in Taiwan, an army must divide labor and cooperate with the operation, and defending the military fortress also needs to have a vast space of depth, and without flexibility, 'sex' is a lamb to the slaughter, and the tragedy of being attacked is already doomed" Li Guolou couldn't help but 'interject', and he really couldn't understand why Liu Mingdeng, the chief soldier of Taiwan Town, had 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he didn't accomplish anything, watching the Japanese army sweep through the east and west of Taiwan

Li Henian smiled far-fetchedly, glanced at Li Hongzhang and said: "It's not a secret, Li Zhentai, Taiwan's garrison has not fought for decades, and in peacetime it is a transport brigade that lets them guard the fortress, and let them drill ravines, climb high mountains, and enter the primeval deep forests, I am afraid that if they have to go and fight in Taiwan, they still have to use the warriors of ethnic minorities, and now Liu Mingdeng, the chief soldier of Taiwan Town, is training the new army in Anping Castle, and in another month, our army will be able to do a strategic counteroffensive."

Li Guolou stood up angrily and scolded angrily: "Li Dashuai, what are you talking about, there is no such thing in the world to defend the country, Liu Mingdeng is unwilling to use his life, and at this time he still wants to save his strength, and he wants to let our guest army fight hard, don't even think about it, there is no passer-by who is willing to send troops, and the new military army will not be this kind of national hero."

Li Henian smiled bitterly and said: "Li Zhentai, don't worry, Lord Fu Xiang's own arrangement, the little belongings in my hand have been taken by Zuo Zongtang, and the Fujian army has been transferred back from the northwest, and there is still some time left, most of the remaining soldiers and horses have not been tested by the war, it is better to use the hearts of the indigenous people of Taiwan with this kind of army, this battle will be won in my place, and you must not '' it."

Li Guolou retorted: "Li Dashuai, you are wrong, it is completely upside down, although the Japanese army is violent, but it is a paper tiger, our army should give full play to the advantages of geographical familiarity, with the cooperation of the indigenous people of Taiwan, to carry out 'riot' harassment tactics against the Japanese army, compress the strategic depth of the Japanese army, 'force' the Japanese army to shrink the defensive line, and have been 'forced' the Japanese army to retreat to Langqiao until there is no way out, there is no need to start a bloody offensive and defensive battle with the Japanese army, 'riot' disturbance is the best weapon, now you are better to let the Japanese army come' How to improve the morale of our army, I don't want to belittle the indigenous army you have trained in this environment is also a deserted army, and a 'engagement' battle will be defeated, I have never seen an iron army trained in the fortress to fight, small and small, small fights accumulate a lot, this is the true meaning of a war of attrition, and when you train 20,000 horses, the enemy already has 10,000 horses, and the enemy's momentum is like a rainbow, and there is also a consumable indigenous army, and the geographical advantage of our army is gone."

Li Hongzhang listened to Li Guolou's words and was a little disgusted, but after hearing it, he felt reasonable, Taiwan's indigenous people also had people who were dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty, and some ethnic minorities and the Qing Dynasty had a grudge for generations, these indigenous people would defect to the Japanese army and strive to be the pawns of the Japanese army, if it were not for Taiwan's ethnic minorities acting as internal responses, how could the Japanese army break through the defense line of the Paiwan tribe so quickly and enter the hinterland of Guishan, you must know that the Qing army did not dare to storm the Guishan of the Paiwan tribe, that is a natural danger that the Paiwan tribe is proud of, there must be other ethnic minorities who betrayed the Peony Society, and the chief of the Peony Society, Ashlu, let the Japanese army find a breakthrough in the Guishan defense line, otherwise thousands of warriors of the Paiwan tribe would not have been defeated by the Japanese army so quickly

Li Hongzhang did not wait for Li Henian to defend himself, waved his hand to stop the others from speaking, and said solemnly: "Immediately send a telegram to Liu Mingdeng, the chief soldier of Taiwan Town, and order him to use combat training to carry out local 'riot' disturbance tactics, and win the hearts of the people of Taiwan's Fanbang, and implement a policy of restraint for those Tusi, and the Qing Dynasty has never hesitated to reward the meritorious ministers, and the imperial court has never hesitated to reward them, as long as they are dedicated to the Qing Dynasty, our Heavenly Empire, and the upper state will not be blamed in the past, but will be conceited in the consequences."

Li Guolou smiled and said: "Li Dashuai, you must also make up your mind, otherwise your family will bear the crime of losing power, humiliating the country, abandoning the 'gate' of the country."

Li Guolou made a speech to intimidate Li Henian, which made the two generals present angry, and they both spoke ill of Li Guolou to the officers, and although Li Guolou didn't understand it, he also knew that there were no good words, but he still maintained his demeanor and looked at Li Henian with a hippie smile

Li Henian was still talking and laughing, but now he is under a lot of pressure, especially Li Guolou gave him a huge pressure, making him want to squeeze out a smile, but the corners of his mouth did not obey the call, the fat round face was a little deformed, Li Guolou was singing with a white face, threatening to destroy him, and the whole clan simply did not take him, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, in his eyes

Li Henian hurriedly made his eyes 'color', asked the two generals under his command to shut up, nodded and said: "The lesson of Lord Yushi of the Right Capital is that Taiwan should be trained by war, and this is urging Liu Mingdeng to change his tactics and launch guerrilla warfare against the Japanese army, and Lord Fu Xiang's adoption of a policy of restraint against the natives in the mountainous areas is really a good move."

The policy of restraint is a kind of buying policy adopted by the central government of the past dynasties to the minority areas, that is, to give the nobles of the ethnic minorities, the highest reward can be crowned king, in the south to adopt the Tusi policy, let the nobles of these ethnic minorities manage their own tribes, the aristocratic class is corrupted, and it is easy to control the eagle dogs of the loyal imperial court, for the ruling class, of course, this policy also has endless consequences, many ethnic minority leaders rebel because there are people in their hands, money and land, so as long as the people's hearts are attached to the central government, they will adopt the reform of the land and return to the stream, and the areas under the jurisdiction of the ethnic minorities will be directly incorporated into the local government, and once and for all, the problem of people's hearts and minds will be solved

But everything can't be '', now is the time to employ people, the Qing Dynasty still gives a high degree of autonomy to the indigenous people of Taiwan, and will also give heavy rewards, which ethnic minorities support the Qing Dynasty regime to contribute money and efforts to fight against the Japanese invaders, then there will be a good life in the future, on the contrary, the ethnic minorities who betrayed the Qing Dynasty served the Japanese invaders, and only the end of being exterminated

Since he sang with a red face, Li Hongzhang did not forget to praise: "Li Dashuai, the Taiwan campaign depends on you, don't mislead the country and the people because of the conflict of words, the imperial court attaches great importance to the war in Taiwan, you have difficulties, even if you bring it up, we will hold a meeting while discussing the gains and losses of the war in Taiwan, the supply line is the lifeline, and our army's maritime defense line cannot be lost."

Fujian Governor Ding Richang has been silent, just now he also jumped out and scolded a few times, Li Guolou's elbow must always turn in, otherwise how can everyone win the battle with one heart, but he and Li Guolou are so good that they can wear a pair of open crotch 'pants', they are a ruffian who laughs and scolds, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Master Fu Xiang, as long as I am here, even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I will not let the front-line soldiers starve, and the military material resources will continue to be transported to Penghu, and there are thousands of sailing ships in my hands, and the Japanese army will not want to cut off our sea transportation line."

Li Guolou shook his head and said: "Ding Futai's mode of transportation is not a long-term solution, if you engage in the Fa like this, it will collapse the economy of Fujian, and the economy of a place will collapse, is there any hope of winning this war, and then you will say that Taiwan is not suitable for garrisons, Taiwan still can't hold it, I don't want to see you become duplicitous?"

Ding Richang's face changed in vain, although he did not have a 'fuck' section in personality, he belonged to the kind of person who was shameless, but the dignity of the country was still concerned, he was a patriot through and through, Li Guolou's words hit his vital point, thousands of sails rushed to the Taiwan Strait, it was absolutely impossible to last, and the country did not have such strong financial resources as a backing, and the Qing Dynasty did not want to expand this war and win a partial victory, which was the best closing tactic

"Li Guolou, you have a point, you must be prepared for a protracted war against the Japanese army, I will reorganize the logistics transport team in a long way," Ding Richang bowed his head to Li Guolou and admitted that he did not dare to 'mess up' on major national affairs

Li Guolou stood up and said with his teeth and claws: "I see that you will detain all the Japanese in Fuzhou when you have time, and during the war, no matter who catches the right and wrong enemy's radio station, they will hide nearby, and I want to mobilize the common people to let them expose their neighbors, set off a 'wave' and 'tide' of catching secret agents in Fujian, and hold a few more demonstrations to boycott Japanese goods."

"This is also used, you said, Little Japan's radio station was searched out by me, Little Japan's warehouse has long been confiscated by me, Li Guolou sat down for me, here is not your turn to point fingers, Master Fu Xiang will arrange it properly" Ding Richang looked down on Li Guolou, he sat in Fujian, of course, it was too peaceful, he was good at making 'yin' moves, how could he 'yin' ditch capsize

"Oh, even if I'm too talkative," Li Guolou talked too much, and sat down a little embarrassed, and it wasn't his turn to be in the limelight, but Li Hongzhang didn't have many scheming words, and the military model was pretending to be unfathomable, and the military meeting lacked a little enthusiasm, so he could only reluctantly pretend to be a cynical reckless man, in fact, what he said was what Li Hongzhang wanted to ask, he was just a bird

Li Hongzhang is addicted to smoking, and the smoky officials in their forties and fifties in the conference hall are all old smokers, and those who have good things in the upper class will follow suit, and the conference hall is full of long cigarette sticks

Li Hongzhang's long cigarette stick has been upgraded, a two-foot-long jade cigarette stick, the whole cigarette stick is turquoise 'color', Li Hongzhang can't put it down, 'touching' the cigarette stick, here Li Guolou's filial gift, he is now using the goods 'color' more and more advanced, as long as he fancy the antiques to Li Guolou to mention a word, Li Guolou will immediately pay for him to get the errand done

Only Li Guolou is alone, hiding at the mouth of the 'door' to breathe fresh air, scenes from the past pass through his eyes, he wants to be a soldier who serves the motherland, and rushes to the battlefield to kill the enemy, unlike the old-fashioned smoker, who will only sit on the sofa and swallow clouds and spitting out circles
