Seeing a thick fog rolling up in the sky 10,000 meters away, Fan Ye knew that the large army was coming, pointed to the black clouds and said: "Master Zhang Dutong and Master Li are here, the formation is very large, at least one battalion is formed."

Dutong Zhang Xuefei held a monocular binocular, looked at it for a while, and said thoughtfully: "Well, it is a battalion of cavalry, and the infantry is also a battalion, and Lord Li regards the escort errand as a training, and the Qing Dynasty has such a bold person, only Tanhualang, it's really amazing."

"Yes, Master Li is amazing," the other officers next to him echoed and praised Li Guolou's courage and pulled out an army to march and practice

"Yes, there is money, it is wasted", the battalion officer Wang Qing likes to show that he is unruly and shows his outstanding insight

Dutong Zhang Xuefei didn't have much to do about this kind of Manchurian aristocratic children, and when he saw that Wang Qing didn't know how to lift, he said: "Wang Yingguan, don't say that my brother didn't remind you that something went wrong, and this official won't say good things for you."

Seeing that the people around him were all looking at him with angry eyes, spreading out the gap, not wanting to be with him, making the Xishan Jianrui Camp embarrassed, but it would damage the interests of a large number of people, Wang Qing knew that he was angry, and said with a hippie smile: "Hehe, Lord Protector, don't worry, the next official will only say better later, and will never let the brothers be implicated, I am not a member of the Black Dragon Society, and Lord Li has no enmity, and the lower officials kneel and bow smoothly."

Zhang Xuefei didn't listen to Wang Qing's lip service, this kind of man is full of noble rank disciples, all of them are heroes, with martial arts since childhood, riding and archery, he has a certain background, and he doesn't put anyone in his eyes, but just look at the loose and sloppy look, how can there be an indomitable military spirit, let Wang Qing carry out military orders, then ask 10,000 why don't you do the ideological work, don't listen to the words of your mother, Lao Tzu, and don't listen to your mouth, first-class kung fu, plus unruly temperament, as for how long the tiger gall can last, anyway, the Qing Dynasty doesn't need to fight in the Qing Dynasty, and the elite soldiers and tiger gall will not be pierced

To say that the Qing people are smart, some things do not need to be popularized, Li Guolou Wutang uses the Western military horn to replace the original inheritance of thousands of years, gongs, rest, marching, flag-raising, marching, resting, can use the military horn to blow a simple and easy-to-understand rhythm, and now the Xishan Jianrui Battalion directly uses the doctrine to welcome Li Guolou and his party with a military horn and military drum

Seeing a column of teams in front of him, Li Guolou had jumped off the wind and snow a hundred meters away, Lei Dianju had a smile on his face, and strode forward, these days he was tired enough, not because of how busy he was as an escort, but because there were too many people who expressed his determination to him, and now he is in a high position, he can do one thing in a word, and he doesn't need to bow down to himself, and his staff members Fan Dahui, Cao Kexing, Nabazi, school officials Battle, Cheng Kun and other subordinates have also been promoted, and the famous official Liu Jie was snatched back by him again, and he explained a few henchmen to deal with it, and he can solve the problem if he encounters it

But when he encountered a problem, many people saw him as an escort this time, and he had the privilege of mobilizing the army, knowing that as long as he took a tailwind boat to go to the governor of Lanzhou, he could make meritorious service and be promoted, and the opportunity for promotion would soar, and he could also leave a good impression on Li Guolou and become his minister, so he must be a cow and a horse, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of death, not afraid of rebellion, and the rebels attacked the convoy

Li Guolou looked at the big man Goshha who was holding a horse for him, dressed up Fu Guozhong, his face was full of vicissitudes of life, his beard was thick, he once met with a knife and a gun, and Fu Guozhong almost had blood splashed in the public hall of the household department, and he participated in the officialdom battle on the spot as a soldier, and he drew a gun to each other in the court, Fu Guozhong was dismissed from his post by the Ministry of War, and he didn't even get out of his public office, and he mixed up in Beijing in the future, but Fu Guozhong was too famous, and pointed a gun at Li Guolou's head, who dared to use him, the more mixed up the Beijing Division, the poorer and poorer, and the family was exhausted, and there was no chance of officialdom revival, so he even thought of asking him on the contrary, and I don't know who taught him, and it was not Han Xin who could accept the humiliation of his crotch

Li Guolou is wearing a strange dress, not the four-grade official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, nor the uniform of the inner guard, but the grass gray tweed clothes, with epaulettes on it, the buttons are copper nails, the jacket pocket can be seen outside, the gold watch chain can be seen outside, a piece of the chain is hung on the neck, a wide cow belt is tied to the waist, there are two revolvers stuck in the waist holster, and there are two revolvers on the left and right, as well as a cartridge holster, trousers are breeches, pedals, long leather boots, a windbreaker, a plush windbreaker, the inside is scarlet, the outside is black, shiny, oily, I can't see what kind of animal fur is made of wind, rain and warmth, it looks graceful and luxurious, this windbreaker is worth a thousand taels, this is the Empress Dowager Ci'an's mother rewarded him, it is said that the Tongzhi Emperor also has only two

Li Guolou took off the hood of the smoked mink on his head, untied the cloak and handed it to his side, Ma Dequan stepped forward to greet Zhang Xuefei, the two of them were old acquaintances, and met each other with a flat courtesy

Li Guolou pretended to be unhappy and said: "Why did the Governor still come to take over the subordinate official so solemnly, why did he make the subordinate official ashamed, but he was guilty?"

"Hey, old friend, people always have ups and downs, see the truth at times of crisis, Lord Li, see everything a little bit, take a step back, the sea and the sky," Zhang Xuefei looked Li Guolou up and down, jealous, his eyes were green, this is like a low-key person, degrading officials, obviously a nouveau riche, well, this is a general's uniform, customized by Yadong Textile Factory, it is clearly an encroachment on Li Guolou, which is a general, the third-class internal guards, are not qualified to wear this kind of military uniform, the Qing army has not changed clothes, Li Guolou is wearing it alone, who is allowed

"Yes, we have retreated to the Qing Dynasty, and now it is time to move forward," Li Guolou pointed to a military flag with one hand, expressing his feelings with pride

There is a luxury carriage stopped in front of the official road, a big flag is inserted in the carriage, the left side is high, Xu Jingmu steel is the flag, the flag is seven feet wide, the red silk is the edge, the gold silk is the edge, the head is decorated with beads, the center of the flag is embroidered with a snow-capped mountain, a head of the teeth and claws, the golden lion ornament is the Qing Emperor's * flag, the snow mountain lion flag, the other carriages are inserted with a face, the body is slightly smaller, about four feet wide, embroidered with the golden plum character, the red flag is decorated with a leaf, the leaves are intertwined together, the willow leaves make people reverie, spring is coming

As soon as the wind and waves blew, the flag was churning and spreading its wings in the wind, giving people a sense of passion, blood boiling, feeling that there was a passion to open up territory for the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Xuefei couldn't help but be mobilized, the pride of the soldiers, his eyes seemed to flash with crystal clear cold light, and he bowed his head slightly: "Lord Li has this ambition, and the Qing Dynasty is very fortunate to hope that the children of the Eight Banners will shake their spirits and plant this glorious military flag in every corner of the motherland."

"It won't be long, and the Lord Guardian will definitely be able to see it," Li Guolou made an invitation to invite a group of officers to visit, and he led the team

"How many people did Master Li bring," Zhang Xuefei looked into the distance, but he couldn't see his head, and the official road was full of people, and he couldn't see the team behind him

"300 infantry, 200 sappers, 200 cavalry, plus coachmen and Goshha, a total of 814 people," Li Guolou was proud to have this team to escort him, and whoever dared to fight him would have to exchange his life for his idea

"Well, yes, yes, they are all young people, but their bodies are a little thinner," Zhang Xuefei posed as a second-grade military attaché, holding his hands behind his back, and watching the columns of soldiers with chest and belly bulging on the official road

Those student soldiers wearing military uniforms made people's eyes shine, Zhang Xuefei touched two thick beards and looked at the hundreds of soldiers on the official road with appreciative eyes, but saw that they were wearing grass-gray cotton uniforms, with the same color military coat on the outside, wearing hats and helmets, wearing fingerless gloves on their hands, carrying a Mauser gun in one hand, carrying a copper kettle on their backs, copper lunch boxes with bayonets on their belts, bandages on their feet, pedaling on their fur military boots, and some school officers also had revolvers across their waists. Hung with binoculars, the infantry stood in two columns, hundreds of cavalry on both sides of the road had dismounted, and in the center of the official road, holding the reins of the horse with one hand, not squinting, looking at the war horse in front of him, spears, assault guns, blankets, and many things, and it was a man with two horses, a pack horse, and a war horse

"Wang Ba Lamb, Lao Tzu still uses flintlock pistols," the battalion officer Wang Qingshi couldn't hold back, seeing so much good equipment, he hated to be a robber, he had reason to feel angry, and complained for the brothers, although the Xishan Jianrui Battalion was not on duty in the palace royal guards, but it was also the Gongwei Jingshi National Defense Army, which belonged to the emperor's descendant troops, and saw those thin soldiers carrying Mauser guns, not he was alone, he was not alone, he was dissatisfied, it was the entire Xishan Jianrui Battalion, feeling ashamed, and complaining for the entire army

Li Guolou only didn't hear the equipment, of course, he took the lead in providing it to the army fighting in front of him, and where did the army on the outskirts of Gyeonggi need to change equipment, and if it was the turn of the Eight Banners, the soldiers would have to wait for Li Hongzhang to stop being the governor of Zhili

Ma Dequan handed Li Guolou a wooden box, Li Guolou handed it to Zhang Xuefeiyan and said with a smile: "Lord Guardian, this is a gift from the lower officials, please open it and see if you must like it."

"Oh yes," Zhang Xuefei knew that this was an officialdom, and the courtesy would not be very valuable, just to show a friendship, to understand that Li Guolou had too many resources in his hands, and did not ask him for bribes, indicating that he was a Qing official, and he wanted Li Guolou to help, he could only play the emotional card, and the power and money trading would not work here, Li Guolou had more money than him, and his power was touched to the palace

Most of the Manchurian officers in the Gyeonggi region worship the Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Xiang's subordinates, you must know that the Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Xiang is old and in poor health, and there is not much time to go into the coffin, and an officer of the Mesozoic Era like him wants to vote for another master, and now there are a few passers-by, Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang, the two ministers of military aircraft, that is the queen mother, don't mention the names of the two of them, and there are Prince Gong, Yixun, Jing Lian, Li Hongzao, In order to avoid suspicion that the army does not accept disciples, the commander of Xinjiang, Jing Lian, is a popular candidate for the Minister of Military Aircraft, and Shangjiang will be stationed even if he returns to Beijing, and he will only be able to defend it, and he has lost most of Xinjiang, and this commander's command ability can make many soldiers admire, but he doesn't want to take refuge in Jing Lian

There is also the military aircraft department, Li Hongzao and Weng Tongyi, two nerds who have never commanded a battle, have the ability to lead the army, and as the principal of a military academy, they can command combat drills, and the soldiers and horses in the Gyeonggi region know how to march and fight, and there is no Mesozoic officer who is convinced that he can be literate and capable of martial arts, and Li Hongzhang relies on his combat achievements to be admired by the soldiers of the Eight Banners

Although he commanded several small-scale anti-bandit battles, they were all decisive raids, and the raid battles were excellent, and not a single traitor or rebel escaped, why did Li Guolou bring so many soldiers to the western Xinjiang, just to fight a battle, and not to get a single battle. With Li Guolou's excellent ability to strategize and adapt to situations on the spot, he believed that Li Guolou would definitely enter the Military Aircraft Department, and the last time the Tongzhi Emperor asked Li Guolou to inspect the military camps in the Gyeonggi area in the name of the minister of the Imperial Mission, so that he could deal with military officers, in order to grasp military power in the future, and to plan and lay the groundwork for entering the Military Aircraft Department

Zhang Xuefei has strong analytical skills, who calls him an official position, there are several staff members for him, this door can still be seen, open the wooden box, inside is a silver handle revolver, shining silver in the sun, at a glance, it is a foreigner, there are customized high-end goods, Zhang Xuefei took the weight in his hand, touched his hand, and felt very good

"Hehehehehe, thank you, Master Li, what do you mean by thinking of the meandering on the elder brother," Zhang Xuefei touched every tiny inscription on the handle of the gun, and raised his arm to aim at the sparrow on the big tree

"Lord Protector, that's in German, that means Browning revolver, the official has only this one, so he will give it to Lord Protector with both hands to keep a souvenir," Li Guolou thought about it when he got this pistol, and the Prussian minister Kniepin gave him a type revolver, he couldn't hide it, and he would enjoy playing for a few days, or give it away early, so as to save the thief's thoughts

"The silver gun is not a good color, Lord Li should give it to the elder brother, I won't thank you much" Zhang Xuefei couldn't help but think of "the silver gun wax gun head is useless", the allusion smiled casually, and while walking, he unfastened the belt, hung the Browning revolver holster on the belt, and the good goods were not overnight, and the Browning revolver was directly inserted into his waist

Li Guolou touched his nose and lowered his head to show a subtle smile, listening to someone around him sneering and laughing, why didn't he think of going up here, what did the officialdom say, there are lessons from the past, Prince Gong and Rong Lu, there is no impermeable wall in the world
