Chapter 487: Xiao Kongtong after the war

Early in the morning, the 'bed' horn sounded loudly. The north wind brought fresh air overnight. Let the barracks be filled with an atmosphere of slaughter. Li Guolou, who was drunk last night, was woken up by the sound of military horns. All human beings have lazy 'nature'. But think of the unrest in the barracks. He still counted to ten and got up.

Toured around the barracks. Two hundred daredevils from the Li Zi battalion rushed into the small Kongtong fort. Didn't return overnight. Li Guolou raised his head and looked at the three ruined fortresses on the loess hill. Do you want to go up and have a visit? I was on the front line, but I didn't see the post-war scenes. How will we talk about war in the future?

"Herald. Go up to Xiao Kongtong. Tell Battle. I'm going to go to the Tong Diao group in an hour. Get the people above ready. Of course Li Guolou knows. What scene can be seen by the chief. What scenes to avoid. He's not looking for fault. Just wanted to see the post-war scene.

"Yes." The young Ma Liang jumped up excitedly. The first one rushed out. He's too small. There was no scramble for a place on the death squad. But in person. I understand everything. Go and see the mountains of corpses. It also depends on whether the looting comrades get rich. What kind of gift will his father Ma Dequan give him.

Li Guolou didn't even say hello when he saw Ma Liang. Voluntarily asked to be a herald. Ran out in a puff of smoke. Shaking his head and sighing, "Hey." I've taken the little ones with me. What will happen to these children in the future? ”

Zhu Dinghe smiled and said, "Master Li is too worried. It doesn't hurt to see. Let's see it for a long time. I'll go up and have a look later. ”

Li Guolou pouted. said: "Lao Zhu." I remind you. You are not allowed to write a travelogue about this experience. Otherwise, we will break off our 'relationship'. I will never forgive you for the rest of my life. ”

Zhu Dinghe laughed. Patted Li Guolou on the shoulder. said: "Little plum." What are you afraid of. I'm not stupid. To write is to write. I wrote down everything I saw and heard along the way. But I all sang praises to the Li Ziying and our Qing officers and soldiers with a praising style. Wait until I return to Beijing. I published it in the Shanghai declaration. Let the people of the Qing Dynasty know. Who is the cutest person. Praise these fighters who gave their lives for the reunification of the motherland. I'm going to collect a few more materials. Write a book praising Zuo Dashuai. ”

Li Guolou listened to it well. Quite happily said, "Yes." That's a good idea. Don't forget to write a chapter for me. Two thousand ears. There is nothing imaginary. Battle of Xiaokongtong. I'm taking the first credit. Guo Ziying picked up my cheapness. The enemy's artillery fire was destroyed by me. Guo Baochang picks up people's teeth. Not enough to mention. ”

Zhu Dinghe's eyes rolled. Scare Li Guolou. Big hand fingers. shouted: "Lao Guo is here." Small plums. Right behind you. ”

Although it is known that it is fake. But Li Guolou was still so frightened that he turned around and looked. That's when I put my mind at ease. Long sigh of relief: "Lao Zhu, don't joke 'messy'. Qiu Ba turned his face without moving. I don't want to fall out with Guo Ziying. ”

"Yes. Qiu Ba can't afford to offend. Angered Qiu Ba. The camp will be bombed. By then, the fame and fortune of the chief official are over. Zhu Dinghe sighed. Only when I came to the front line did I know the bloodshed and cruelty of the war. Li Guolou is quite strict with his subordinates. Ten military regulations for the "Li Zi Battalion" were promulgated. But really go to the battlefield to fight. Even the supervisor was 'chaotic'. How the hell did four thousand enemies die.

It was killed during the 'engagement' war. Or was slaughtered by the Qing soldiers. The truth will never be revealed.

"It's a pity that your writing is a little bit poor. Otherwise, like the Tang Dynasty poet Cen Shen. Write about the famous stories of life in the frontier. It's not worth the trip. "After two bloody battles. Li Guolou did not have the leisure and elegance of 'chanting' poems along the way. There is no poetry that can glorify war. Someone who can describe the battle with a magnificent poem. They are all masters of black thick learning. The essence of war is that people kill people. The so-called justice is also a means of whitewashing and killing.

"Poetry is nothing. In the future, I will become a great writer like Cao Xueqin. Zhu Dinghe glanced at Li Guolou. Everyone is with each other. People of different status are in very different situations. Li Guolou has the power to fold. Write an excerpt at the end of three days. Present it to the Tongzhi Emperor. That is the witness of history. Forever sealed in the archives of history. also let the queen mother of the two palaces see the patriotic poems left by Li Guolou along the way. Show off the demeanor of the 'flower' lang. Who he writes to. Guilty of racking your brains. Examine a poem that is free of illness and moaning.

"Haha." Li Guolou laughed dryly. On the level of Zhu Dinghe. Writing two travelogues is not as good as Xu Xiake's people. actually set his life goals higher than the sky. wants to surpass Cao Xueqin. Only he can tolerate this kind of fellow countryman whose eyes are higher than the sky. I also want to find a 'fat' shortage for Zhu Dinghe.

Zhu Dinghe was furious. hooked Li Guolou's neck. He lowered his voice and said, "Little plum." I've put up with you for a long time. I can't hold it anymore. Listen to me. I'm going to take one back with me when I go back to Beijing. The next battle you go and talk to the two toasts. One at least. Two is not much. ”

Li Guolou scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "Old Zhu." Aren't you embarrassing me? I don't care anyway. You go to Battle yourself. Don't report back to me. After the capture of Lijiabao. You will go back to Beijing with the first batch of people. I don't know, anyway. ”

"Enough friends. It's not in vain that I've suffered so much along the way. Zhu Dinghe punched Li Guolou's 'chest' hard. A scholar from a literati background. said that he wanted to be a righteous man and a gentleman. Pillars of the nation. But the well-dressed beasts are their people. They were the ones who had drunk 'flower' wine together. What kind of person is Li Guolou? He is a close friend of Li Guolou. Both sides have no scruples. The villain who is really 'sexual' is also.

Li Guolou is going to visit the news of Xiaokongtong. Soon, Vice Marshal Xu Zhanbiao and other military attachés knew. Regarding Li Guolou's identity, these military attachés still have some scruples. Li Guolou was a favorite of the Tongzhi Emperor. It's not good if the emperor hears the gossip. Xu Zhanbiao hurriedly ordered Guo Baochang to take the lead in going to the fortress of Xiaokongtong. Rectify the law and order in the three forts. Don't make them look ugly. The Qing army can't be allowed to make a fool of itself.

Before leaving, Guo Baochang squeezed his eyes. He arched his hand and said, "Vice Marshal Xu." Please rest assured. Only military personnel. You can't see a live mouth. Those Li Zi Battalion daredevils had already said hello. I won't do my own thing. I personally handled the negotiations. ”

Xu Zhanbiao stroked his beard. smiled: "Guo Shoubei don't be poor. Master Li is a god catcher. There will be something not to know. Ben Shuai just hopes that you will do a good job of superficial articles. If you don't know how to be a human being. and I will send thee to guard the city. Don't think about making any more meritorious contributions. Got it. 'Awesome' mallet brother. ”

"Order." Guo Baochang shook the leather whip in his hand. This little thing is not well done. Don't get promoted and get rich. Even the marshal Zuo Zongtang went to the front. He can also do it without leaks. How can the boat capsize on a small loess slope.

Guo Baochang went to Xiaokongtong one step ahead of Li Guolou. Go to clean up the military discipline of Guo Ziying. After a night of fighting. The three bronze towers are full of desolation. In the sunlight, it shimmers with a bright 'bright' red 'color'.

Beneath the walls are bloody corpses and broken bamboo ladders. A few 'gates' fell from the walls of the Furlong cannons, but no one cared. The closed 'door' of the village opened. A team of trumpeters beat gongs and drums to welcome Li Guolou and his entourage.

Guo Baochang personally led Li Guolou to visit the fortress of Xiaokongtong. First of all, go to comfort the wounded fighters.

The sick and wounded were carried in a temple. All lay on stretchers to rest. Guo Baochang to every loveliest person. Thank you very much. The state will not forget theirs. The people will not forget theirs either. In the future, the government will take care of every disabled soldier.

Really touching words. From Guo Baochang's mouth. I can't help but sigh. It turns out that people with foul mouths will also speak grandiosely. And it's so real. Sent to the heart. No wonder so many fighters are willing to hold high the Guo Zi flag. Advance under artillery fire. It is necessary to go to the soup and the fire.

However, there was not even a single Taoist priest in Kongtong Temple. Li Guolou walked out of the room of the wounded and sick. I can't help standing in the courtyard. Extremely dissatisfied, he asked, "What about the host here?" ”

He thought that the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple had been killed by officers and soldiers. This is something he will never tolerate.

Guo Baochang shouted loudly: "Master Li." Where do you think of it. Huizi had already killed all the Taoist priests. A large group of Hui Zi resisted stubbornly in the Taoist temple. If it weren't for the fact that this is a Taoist temple. I've already flattened. In order to capture Kongtong Temple. caused our Guo Ziying to sacrifice more than 20 brothers in vain. ”

A group of wounded soldiers who watched from the sidelines wept bitterly. Many of their comrades-in-arms died here. Screaming the names of their dead comrades.

This can't be pretended. Comradeship between officers and soldiers. Tear-jerking.

Li Guolou bowed his head and was silent. The contradictions between religious beliefs are even more terrifying. Slaughter among believers. It has never stopped since ancient times. That's how many denominations die. The Han and Manchu people allowed various ethnic groups to have multiple faiths. The murder of infidels by the Muslims. It can be said that it is the first in the world. They call it jihad. Each time you expand to one place. They forcibly instilled religious beliefs into the local people. Only those who believe in Islam are entitled to live.

A single faith forges the unity of a nation. But it also makes a people suffer more. There are too many taboos on religious beliefs. Li Guolou is a Catholic. He is not good at judging the rights and wrongs of other denominations. I can only say, "Yes." In this case, it is necessary to rebuild the Kongtong Temple. Dong Zhi was supposed to be the homeland of all ethnic groups living and working in peace and contentment. In my own name, I gave five hundred taels of silver to Kongtongguan. ”

Guo Baochang glared at Li Guolou angrily. Ring-eyed eyes glared like brass bells. A mouth almost wants to scold my mother. I held back alive. I can't be as knowledgeable as Li Guolou. There was a "hum" in the nose. Turn your head and walk out of the big 'door' of the temple.

Li Guolou was inexplicable. Alms to the temple were only a means of calming the local people. In the future, Dong Zhiyuan could not live as a nation. All nations should live in harmony. Of course, the various denominations should also tolerate each other. As a chief, you have to look at moderation. Do a good job in the relations between various nationalities. Guo Baochang doesn't even understand this. Don't reason with the boss.

Guo Baochang rushed forward in a rage. Li Guolou doesn't care about this kind of clown jumping up and down. Pick up the pace and follow behind. The places he can visit are naturally open. It's like his experience in the Beijing Division Demolition and Relocation Office. He didn't come to join the military attaché. It's just a fresh picture.

The warriors dug a deep pit in a low-lying area outside the western part of the loess wall. Thousands of severed limbs were thrown inside. Li Guolou stopped and looked at it a few times. But see the warriors driving the wagon. Truckloads of corpses were taken out of the fort. It's like throwing a stone. Bang. There was another stone in the pit. Li Guolou was completely speechless. You can't comment on this kind of thing. War brings nothing but destruction to a country. Flesh and bone cannibalism is like that. Compatriots of a nation. Kill each other. Never die. The history of national shame. There is nothing to brag about. It is hoped that this senseless war will end at an early date. The Hui compatriots gave up the idea of independence. Examine the moderate abandonment of "anti-Qing." Anti-oppression. The program of the movement.

"Master Li. Don't have mercy on the dead. Han villages were slaughtered a lot. This is called revenge. Wash blood in blood. Guo Baochang looked down on people. thinks that the little white face is already scared of 'peeing' and 'pants'.

"Recognize the situation. Focus on the future. This is called the great husband can bend and stretch. Guo Shoubei. There is no shame in surrendering on the knees. Our ancestors lived like this. I hope you have a bodhisattva heart. Kill less. Let the children and the elderly go. ”

Li Guolou left out the 'female' person alone. There are very few 'female' and 'sexual' corpses in the pit. Where have they gone? He's not a little broken.

"Giggle." Guo Baochang laughed three times. It's like a black crow croaking. He squinted and said, "Master Li." You are the new detective 'flower' lang. Why are you running here to see this? It doesn't match the identity. After looking at your two hundred daredevils. Let's go back. ”

"Guo Shoubei. Don't regret it. Tianjin Wei's inventory went to sea. And I can't get along with the people. It is not supported by the Huai army. "Li Guolou coldly threatened Gali 'lure'. Even Zuo Zongtang bent his knees under his 'lewdness' authority. A little garrison is nothing.

"Wow cluck······" Guo Baochang's 'spring' is full of wind. hooked Li Guolou's neck. smiled: "We are a 'friendship' on the battlefield." Brother can't stand it when he chokes you a few words. Left handsome. I scolded him the same. What a drop of stingy ghosts. ”

"Guo Shoubei. Or kill less. People from a country. Li Guolou's tone was so weak. He's just a spectator. You can only pin your hopes on others.

"Got it. Master Li's temperament is the same as that of Zuo Dashuai. Compassion. It is the tone of a great official. Guo Baochang was snickering in his stomach. Don't smile on your face. A few perfunctory words. He's not a prison warden. Where are there so many cages for the resistance?

Kill them all. Shoveling. In order to make the Qing Dynasty reborn in blood. This is the realization of a military man. Leave an empty city for Zuo Zongtang to arrange immigration. Mind his business. Don't kill or rob. Wouldn't it be cheaper for other armies.
