As the sun set in the west, the sky was reflected in a beautiful red halo, and the fleet could already see the coastline of Taiwan and was about to land ashore.

Feng Zicai seemed to have forgotten Shicai's dissatisfaction with Li Guolou, and licked his face and asked Li Guolou to be the title of Might.

Li Guolou looked at the faces of eager anticipation, and it was difficult to refuse Feng Zicai's kindness, so he waved his pen and left Mobao.

First. The ship should be clean, scrubbed and dusted in the morning and evening.

Second. Bay ships should be sparse, always fireproof and windproof.

Third. Weapons should be neat, and medicine boxes should be placed in conspicuous places.

Fourth. The army should be quiet, listen to the enemy's situation, and do not report indiscriminately.

Fifth. Don't panic when you fight, and the more energetic you will be when you practice your skills.

Sixth. The sailor must perform drills, and the oars must be fast and the rudder must be steady.

Seventh. Do not rob the enemy, and do not hurry to listen to orders.

Eighth. The sailor did not go ashore, and only one person was allowed to be a comprador.

Ninth. Knowledge is the most important thing, and learning culture is kept in mind.

Tenth. Officers and men should be united, and the naval division should fight collectively.

Feng Zicai watched Li Guolou write, the writing was neat and round, the content was practical, worthy of being the hand-picked Tanhualang, giving him face like this, writing so many words, it is commendable. Feng Zicai smiled and said, "Commander Li writes very well, I want to learn from you." ”

Li Guolou smiled slightly and said: "This is a big vernacular, let every officer and soldier of the Navy Division know their duties, and they must not be temporary." Feng pipe belt, how powerful is the training bullet? ”

"Hahahaha!" Feng Zicai didn't mind, leaned on the old man and slapped Li Guolou's chest, and said with a smile: "You are still reasonable, I absolutely obey your military orders, your luck is good." ”

Li Guolou's index finger tapped his temple a few times, and said meaningfully: "I'm not lucky, I'm using this place to think about problems." Do you understand? ”

"Understood! Commander-in-Chief Li, you are just lucky, I will keep your teachings in mind and accept your leadership. "Feng Zicai doesn't know whether he really understands or pretends to understand, anyway, he obeys Li Guolou's orders.

There are very few people in the world who can admire Feng Zicai.

Li Guolou saw Feng Zicai's flattering expression for the first time, goosebumps all over his body, and he squeezed out a smile and said: "Feng Guandao, you must be strong and soft in battle, you don't show weakness, glyph tactics, that's the truth." The same can be used in dealing with people, you also have to examine yourself, don't keep saying that others are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, you can make a fortune by fighting, and you will also make a lot of money. If you can make war money, you will not allow others to make money, and you will not see the darkness of officialdom. If the country is safe and secure, will it be your first day? ”

Feng Zicai stroked his long hair and laughed: "Commander Li, you are eighteen crooked principles, and there is a word 'reason' standing in each article. What I listen to you is, don't let go of nonsense in the future, it's a big deal that you will take me to the revolution again. ”

"I believe in you, you need someone like you to defend the country for the Son of Heaven, you are Guan Gong of the Great Qing Kingdom." The person who was leaving, his words were kind, Li Guolou praised Feng Zicai, and also wrote the four big words "Loyalty and Righteousness" to Feng Zicai.

Feng Zicai was excited, full of tears, staring at Li Guolou, and had regarded Li Guolou as a confidant. The four characters of "loyalty and righteousness" are an affirmation of his life, although his background is not good, but since he returned to the Qing Dynasty, he has no two hearts.

"I have had ups and downs in my life, I have fought in the north and south of the country, my military life is uncertain, and I don't know where I will die in the future? Commander-in-Chief Li, please write my epitaph in the future. Can? Feng Zicai spoke, out of bounds, thinking of the battlefield of the battle, and suddenly said that the epitaph was on.

"Good! In another forty years, I will write for you, and Lao Ji is the loyal and unparalleled Feng Dashuai. Li Guolou agreed, patted Feng Zicai's broad shoulders approvingly, and remembered the friendship of fighting side by side. Li Guolou had long regarded the officers and men of the Nanyang Naval Division as his own.

Feng Zicai was straight, feeling that Li Guolou looked up to him, and had long worshiped Li Guolou as a military god. Feng Zi is an old soldier, a real general, and he is not a fool. I have seen a lot of gods in the Heaven and Earth Society, Hong Xiuquan boasts that he is the son of God, and the heavenly soldiers and generals are not opponents of foreign guns and cannons. What did Li Guolou rely on to win? Feng Zicai had already seen the flaws, and he didn't talk about military secrets.

The commander who wins the victory will be worshipped, Li Guolou went to Taiwan, and won the military heart of the Dashimizu Division in two battles. The two forces in the Nanyang Navy Division were both used by Li Guolou.

Magong Port was originally a dual-use port, and was used by fishermen to dock fishing boats.

The Atayal and Northern Zou people have lived here for generations and live in harmony with the Han people. The Northern Zou people mainly fish, and the Atayal people make a living by hunting, and this is mainly the residence of the Atayal people. In the Japanese invasion of Taiwan, these two ethnic groups did not betray the Qing Dynasty and fought side by side with the Qing officers and soldiers, which were poisoned by pirates.

The military facilities in Magong Port were dilapidated, but fortunately, in winter, Shen Baozhen sent his nephew Lin Taizeng to lead an artillery unit to garrison Magong Port. The fort of Magong Port was repaired and the defense of Magong Port was strengthened, so that this military port was not captured by the Japanese army.

Lin Tai once led a battalion of troops, with more than 400 soldiers, including more than 100 militia groups trained by Shen Baozhen. The officers and soldiers of the first outpost originally stationed at Magong Port have long been abandoned, the old ones are small, and the officers and men have become caravans, and they have long lost their combat effectiveness. Lin Taizeng could only reorganize the original men, remove the old veterans, and use the young soldiers to maintain law and order.

Lin Tai once asked some elderly soldiers to turn into businessmen, and used merchants to support the garrison of Magong Port. If he relied solely on the military salaries brought from Fujian, he would even have to sell guns and artillery to ethnic minorities, and "using business to raise soldiers" is a reality in Taiwan.

Taiwan is sparsely populated, mostly in the wilderness of mountainous areas, although ethnic minorities consider themselves to be the people of the Qing Dynasty. However, these ethnic minorities enjoyed the preferential policies of the Qing Dynasty and paid grain and taxes in the form of tribute, and the taxes collected by the Taiwan Government were not enough to do a good job in the local economy, and it became a problem to feed the 4,000 garrisons in Taiwan Town.

Lin Tai was once stretched, as the saying goes, "If the family has surplus food, don't panic." Lin Tai was faced with a cruel status quo, and could only ask for the support of Tusi Yabu of the Atayal tribe and Tusi Shu Faran of the Northern Zou tribe. But under the pretext of defending their own territory, these two Tusi each lent Lin Taizeng a hundred warriors, sent 200 stone of grain, as well as a batch of salted fish and prey, and let Lin Taizeng recruit warriors by himself.

Lin Taizeng had no money in his hand, and the magistrate Xu Qiusheng was forced to hide by him, so Lin Taizeng could only carry forward the spirit of hard work and have enough food and clothing by himself.

After the Japanese army invaded Taiwan, Lin Tai had strengthened his defense, and recruited more than 200 soldiers, with a team of more than 900 people, which had reached his limit, he was not a rich man, where could he afford to raise thousands of people. You must know that during the war, military salaries can be temporarily withheld, and it is very important to defend Magong Port, which is related to his net worth and life, but there are more than 900 mouths, and he has to eat and drink every day, so it is difficult for the soldiers of ethnic minorities to bring their own rations and serve the country.

Lin Tai used to be a scholar, good at using his brain, at a critical juncture, Lin Tai once arranged suspicious soldiers, made fake cannons and dummies in the fort, and planted pennants all over the place, it seemed that the Magong Port soldiers were strong and strong, so that the enemy could not understand the reality of Magong Port.

The Japanese fleet made a tentative attack on Magong Port, and after a burst of shells, it saw that Magong Port was not as lax in defense as the spies had told, and there were dozens of new guns. The guard general Lin Tai was good at using artillery, and the Qing army had strong firepower, which was a hard nut to bite. If the Magonggang fort was stormed, at least 1,000 people were killed or wounded, and the Japanese fleet withdrew from the Magonggang port, without storming the Qing army's fort.

Lin Tai once escaped a catastrophe, but did not celebrate the victory, the defense was unstable, and the fire of war ignited in the Pingtung area. The Japanese army changed their tactics and sent pirates to harass the waters of Magong Port, and the little Luzon pirates took advantage of the fire to loot the coastal people. The Japanese army began to attack the territory of the Atayal tribe by land. Pingtung, eastern Taiwan is in crisis.

Tusi Yabu of the Atayal tribe asked Lin Taizeng for help, and Pingtung was lost, and the flank of Magong Port was exposed to the Japanese attack. Magong Port was in danger of being lost, and Lin Taizeng had insufficient troops, so he could only let more than 300 soldiers of ethnic minorities return to Pingtung. Lin Tai had been unable to understand the reality of the Japanese attack, and when he was in a dilemma, good news came from the sky, and Li Guolou led the Da Qing Shui Division.

Lin Tai was so happy, a group of his alumni came, Lin Tai was a noble child, born to be a general, Lin Zexu, who sold cigarettes in Humen, was his uncle, Lin Tai was a student of Mawei Ship Master School, and he also went to England to stay abroad. He is Shen Baozhen's nephew, so he was stationed in the dangerous Magong Port by Shen Baozhen.

If you want fame and fortune, you must serve the country. Lin Tai was a loyal martyr, and he inherited the glorious tradition of his ancestors. Sticking to the Magong Port Fort, I have long had the idea of becoming a benevolent if I don't succeed. Lin Tai hurriedly formed a team and led all the officers and soldiers to welcome the arrival of the victorious division.

Lin Tai once pressed the war knife on his waist, walking with a tiger's might, and a posture that would rather bend than bend. More than 400 soldiers stood on the dock with their chests held high, watching the huge sailors enter the port with blazing eyes.

The fleet arrived at Magong Port, and the officers and men of the naval division continued to stick to their posts with a posture of preparing for war.

2,000 Xinwu troops and 2,000 Changsheng troops landed on the shore, the huge army was neatly organized, forming a phalanx, the commander ordered to prohibit it, and the 4,000 people were silent and murderous, and Magong Port was already impregnable.

This is a grand occasion that has never been seen since the opening of Taiwan's Magong Port, Lin Tai was proud and unmoving, he had reason to be proud, relying on the great help of the Taiwan people, all the soldiers and men used their lives to defend the Magong Port Fort.

Li Guolou is actually not interested in reviewing the large array, he still likes to use his brain more and fight wits and courage with the Japanese army. However, when he went to Taiwan this time, the Xinwu army only had 2,000 men and horses, and the other 500 were Changfu, who were used to carry supplies.

The other army that set foot on the island of Taiwan was the mercenaries of the Qing Dynasty. The ever-winning army always has to give Bai Langning a chance to show his face. Foreigners worked for the Qing Dynasty, one was for the sake of money, and the other was that foreigners also emphasized loyalty. The Chang Shengjun could not come to Taiwan at all, and Li Hongzhang originally arranged for the Chang Shengjun to be in Mawei Port. However, Chang Shengjun had already regarded Li Guolou as his master and was willing to die for Li Guolou, and Chang Shengjun came to Taiwan by trekking through mountains and rivers to jointly fight against the Japanese invaders. How could this friendship not move Li Guolou?

Another point is that the officers of the victorious army are mostly British and French, and the Western powers have a good opinion of this army. The fact that the victorious army voluntarily came to Taiwan to fight was also a spur to the British and French, and Western public opinion was one-sided in favor of the Qing Dynasty, denouncing the Japanese for their arrogance and unreasonableness.

War is a continuation of politics, and what cannot be obtained in political struggle is resolved through the means of war. On the contrary, what cannot be obtained in war can be obtained by political extortion.

The Qing Dynasty was still fighting a civil war, and it was not possible to achieve the unity of the army and the people to fight against the Japanese invaders. Therefore, it was necessary to make full use of political means to put pressure on the Japanese, and the British and French became the targets of the Qing Dynasty.

Li Guolou is good at using strategy, how can he give up the trump card in his hand, and he wants to win the military to the extreme, and let the British and French sacrifice their lives for the Qing Dynasty.

How could the Western powers tolerate the brutal slaughter of their own people by the Japanese army, they would definitely express their political stance, and the National Assembly passed a vote to fully support the Qing Dynasty. The Western powers would sell some contraband to the Qing Dynasty, including machinery and equipment, weapons and ammunition, warships, and even various new technologies.

For the Qing Dynasty, it was an opportunity for the Qing Dynasty to take off economically, and a God-given opportunity to integrate with the West.

Li Guolou can speak well, analyze the Tao at the head, and move Li Hongzhang with the general trend of the world. This made Li Hongzhang change his course and let 2,000 victorious troops go to Taiwan.

As the commander-in-chief of the Taiwan campaign, Li Guolou went to fight on the island of Taiwan. Li Hongzhang turned to the negotiating table to persuade Britain and France to get world public opinion to support the Qing Dynasty in maintaining its territorial integrity and imposing economic sanctions on Japan. The Lee family took a two-pronged approach to teach the Japanese a bloody lesson.

Today, Li Guolou and Bai Langning walk side by side, the wheat ears on their shoulders are exactly the same, and the official rank of the representative is also the same. The two of them were indistinguishable from each other, like conjoined babies, with neat strides, eyes like torches, and serious expressions.

Bai Langning's vaunted inspection phalanx had long regarded him as Li Guolou's right-hand man, and he believed that in the naval battle of Diaoyu Island, the Chang Shengjun also had great achievements, and carrying artillery shells was also a great achievement. When you set foot on land, you will see the victorious army fighting, and you must play the military prestige of the victorious army and play the national prestige for the Qing Dynasty.

Bai Langning pulled out his sword and sang to the sky with his head held high: "The army is always victorious!" ”

"Victory! Win! Win! The military array let out a majestic cry, and the words were round.

"Ah Explore" Bai Langning issued an English password, believing that his military talent was several steps higher than Li Guolou's, and the winning army in the Taiwan Campaign would be the main force, and Li Guolou would follow him to reap the fruits of victory.

The victorious army shouldered the rifle and marched forward with their heads held high, embarking on a long journey.
