After the joke. Li Guolou looked at the frequent messages of the Japanese army. After the Battle of the Diaoyu Islands. The number of telegrams coming and going from the Japanese army skyrocketed. The Japanese army was frightened by the Great Shimizu Division. It's all telegrams asking for support. Japanese troops in an attacking stance. Start making strategic adjustments. It was full of the word "stubborn".

Li Guolou saw the last telegram sent by the Fusang. There are two words on it for "jade crush". Li Guolou looked up to the sky and laughed and went out. This is the kind of life that makes sense.

Tonight will be a sleepless night. Li Guolou slept in clothes. Lying in a small bedroom. A small three-foot bed. There is a windproof lamp hanging from the head of the bed. The revolver is placed under the pillow . in front of everyone. Li Guolou talked and laughed. Command is determined. But when you're alone. He couldn't sleep at night. Tossing. A long lonely night. Only an oil lamp accompanied.

This time the Great Shimizu Division was victorious. But there are also hidden dangers. The fleet is scarred. Ammunition costs a lot. The Great Shimizu Division has no strength left to fight again. It is not possible to meet the main forces of the Japanese Navy at sea . Now what he's going to do is. Arrived safely at Keelung Port, Taiwan. But the fleet could not sail directly to Keelung Harbor.

Daishimizu with the aftermath of victory. Morale boosted. But the Japanese army is not a soft persimmon . The main fleet of the Japanese army remained intact. Li Guolou used tricks. False messages sent. Even Liu Mingdeng, the chief soldier of Taiwan Town, lied. Under the cover of night. The Great Shimizu Division diverted to Magong Port in northern Taiwan. Before exchanging cipher code with Liu Mingdeng. Li Guolou carefully arranged his tactics. Never let the Japanese see through his attempts to use troops.

Li Guolou is suspicious by nature. Cunning as a fox. Eat one's word. Deceive the enemy. Also deceive allies. Let Liu Mingdeng wait in Keelung Harbor. The Great Shimizu Division is temporarily stationed in Magong Port.

Li Guolou knelt reverently on the cold ground. In prayer to God. Repent of his sins. But he's an ambitious man. Expect a few old-fashioned Japanese ships outside Magong Harbor. It's the perfect journey. Li Guolou has nothing to do. looked at the ancient book "Zhou Yi". I can't sleep anyway. Maybe you can understand the true meaning of "Zhou Yi". Count the Japanese to death.

Several Japanese warships cruising outside the port of Keelung, Taiwan. Disdainfully overlooking the warships of the Oshimizu Division in the harbor. There are many batteries in the harbor. The Japanese army had some scruples. Don't dare to go into the range of the giant cannon. Since the Qing Dynasty had Prussian Krupp cannons. The firepower of this battery has been upgraded to a notch. Japanese ironclad warships suffered from the Krupp cannons. No longer within range of the Krupp cannon .

But outside the harbor. It's the world of Japanese warships. The wooden warships of the Great Qing Dynasty did not dare to leave the port at all. The sea is the domain of the Japanese fleet.

Liu Mingdeng, the chief soldier of Taiwan Town, and Wu Dating, a Taiwanese Taoist and Xuezheng, have come to Keelung Port. The two stood on the casemate. View of the scene outside the harbor. How can there still be three Japanese ships cruising outside the harbor. Yesterday I received a battle report. The naval battle of the Diaoyu Islands defeated the Japanese ships. Sink the main Japanese battleship .. Fuso. The two of them also drank three glasses of wine happily. Praise Li Guolou. Get ready for the victorious army. Today it looks like it's business as usual. Japanese warships are still showing off their might outside the harbor.

Wu Dating is a member of the four grades. Already in his fifties. Wearing eight pythons and five python robes. Snow goose supplement. An official robe doesn't seem to fit. It looks empty. Brushing the sparse three strands of beard. Clear face. Knit one's brows. His career has come to an end. This mess in Taiwan. He has an unshirkable responsibility. Educating Taiwan's ethnic minorities. It's him who is responsible. Taiwan's ethnic minorities deviate from the norm. All are his sins.

Liu Mingdeng is a general with troops. There is a chance to wear the guilty meritorious service. At most, he was transferred back to the mainland as an official. Big deal with demote appointments. And he's stepping down. Only the breeze with the lone star.

The Qing Dynasty is no longer the rich country of a hundred years ago. Generous rewards for the Fanbang. Rather, the treasury is empty . The country is poor and the people are weak. Taiwanese folk customs are fierce. Ethnic minorities are difficult to manage. The Ministry of Households' financial subsidies to Taiwan are pitifully small. He is a good woman who is difficult to cook without rice. Japan invades Taiwan. Let him be under attack. Become the target of the court. All the guilt was imposed on him.

Now Wu Dating is wearing lice jackets. Not afraid of lice. Only he dares to speak and act. He said openly: "Liu Zhentai. It's not Li Guolou who falsely reported his exploits. The ship didn't retreat that day."

Liu Minglan on the back of a bear-waisted tiger. Being tiger wolf age. It's a tiger general. Fighting with the Taiping Army. Outstanding achievements. But I met the wolf of the Japanese army. I didn't take advantage of it. Liu Mingdeng personally led 3,000 Jianwu troops to fight the Japanese army in the field. Defeated by the Japanese army. The Jianwu army suffered thousands of casualties. After Liu Ming's lantern lost his troops. No longer dare to confront the Japanese in the field. Stick to strategic locations. It's best to stick to the waitlist. Pin your hopes on reinforcements.

Liu Mingdeng saw the Japanese ships outside the harbor. Hate it so much. He replied loudly: "Wu Daoist is cautious. Li Guolou was a rising star among the Qing generals. Get the true biography of the left handsome. Never falsely report your exploits. In my opinion. The enemy is not willing to lose. I want to intercept my Da Shimizu Division outside Keelung Harbor."

Wu Dating thought for a while. Approved Liu Mingdeng's proposition. Nodding his head, he said, "Liu Zhentai is reasonable. It's the old man who has poor insight. But the enemy is menacing. I'm afraid."

Wu Dating looked left and right. Afraid of being heard by the people next to you. In case of happiness and sorrow. The Oshimizu division was defeated by the Japanese Navy at Keelung Harbor. Do the more than 30 warships in the harbor want to go out of the harbor to support?

Liu Mingdeng didn't have a bottom in his heart. More than 30 warships in Keelung Harbor. All are wooden warships. Iron sheets wrapped around a warship. Rusty. It has long been in disrepair. More than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Navy Division were under the jurisdiction of Shen Baozhen. Commanded by Adjutant General Harida. This division is the partial division of the Nanyang division of the sailors. Super weak in combat. Can only be used to fight pirates. It's good to hold Keelung Harbor. Where can this naval division go to fight the Japanese Navy.

"That's all I have. Say nothing and don't go to sea to fight . Now I'm still the top governor of Taiwan. Li Guolou has his own white snake Langjun protection. We can sit back and relax. Wu Daoyuan. You're worrying about it. Hahahaha." Liu Mingdeng deceived himself and walked off the battery. Didn't pay any attention to the Japanese ships outside the harbor. The enemies are all gutsless rats. If you have a kind of attack, Keelung Harbor.

Wu Dating glanced at several new cannons on the fort. Fortunately, Shen Baozhen brought ten Krupp cannons in winter. This makes Keelung Port solid.

I heard about this Nanyang sailor. It was with the support of Li Guolou that it began to take shape. It seems that he only hugs Li Guolou's thick legs. Only then will the salted fish have a chance to turn over. Wu Dating made up his mind. To be in front of Li Guolou. A good student put on a show. He doesn't want to be a priest yet. Lao Ji Fu Fang. Although it does not rest on the strong heart.

Liu Mingdeng and Wu Dating came to the barracks. Watch the recruits drill. Recruits in Keelung Harbor. There were three thousand. This is the essence of Taiwan. Liu Ming's lamp is thick and thin. We have the confidence to start a protracted war with the Japanese army. Although lost two battles. But in the third battle he will definitely win.

Liu Mingdeng is good at military training. At the beginning of the war with the Taiping Army. A decisive battle of tens of thousands of people is called a real war. Where like now there is a shortage of troops. Stretch him to the limit. Wait until you have trained tens of thousands of soldiers. Hum. Japanese Expedition. Which will be his opponent.

Liu Mingdeng is ambitious. Want a shame. For Li Hongzhang appointed Li Guolou as the commander-in-chief of Taiwan. The heart is not convinced. The generals under his command also complained. Think of a court upstart. Not enough to command the Jianwu army in Taiwan Town. But. After getting the news of the victory in the naval battle of the Diaoyu Islands yesterday. Liu Mingdeng is looking forward to meeting Li Guolou victoriously. The "Zhao Zilong" of the Great Qing Kingdom is really full of guts. As soon as he got out of the horse, he sank the enemy's Fuso. The operation was commanded by Li Guolou. It will make the Jianwu Army burst out with infinite combat effectiveness.

Taiwanese people actively join the army. Serve the motherland with practical actions. It has been a hundred years since the Qing Dynasty recovered Taiwan. The human heart has long been attached. Those scum who helped the Japanese army . Only a tiny minority. The people are denouncing the traitorous acts of the Beidong, Feathered and Montenegrin tribes. These three peoples betrayed the country. Serving the Japanese Army. Damnation will surely be meted out. The fighters carried wooden guns. Practice assassination. The sound of killing in the martial arts arena shook the sky.

Liu Mingdeng stood proudly on the podium. Motionless watching the warrior's drill. The sea breeze blows against that weather-beaten face. The mood is excited. Three thousand soldiers and horses have been trained. The day of the decisive battle is coming. I endured it for more than 60 days. It is waiting for the day when the soldiers will be strong.

Lunch break. The warriors returned to their places. Sit in the tea shed and rest. Different ethnic groups speak different dialects. The detachments are made up of different nationalities. Those ethnic minority fighters speak. Even the commander didn't understand it. Let these minority fighters understand the military orders. It gave the commander a headache.

But. This also affected the patriotic fervor of these minority fighters. They are fighting for the Motherland. Support the Yellow Dragon Banner. full of hatred for the Japanese army; Yesterday. They may be slaves of some toast. the private property of slave owners; But today. They are already glorious warriors of the Jianwu Army. For the beloved general soldier Liu Mingdeng. They want to defend the "Jianwu" military flag with loyalty and bravery.

There are a lot of taboos in the barracks. A lot of things can't be said. It is not allowed to touch each other. But today is different. The warriors were smiling. Singing the latest battle report. The news of the naval battle of the Diaoyu Islands has long spread to every corner of the barracks. The morale of the fighters is high. The deeds of Li Guolou have been preached. Li Guolou has not yet arrived in Taiwan. has been blown to the gods.

Afternoon. Liu Mingdeng began to get agitated. Send telegrams to Li Guolou. There was no response. Until now, there has been no news of Daishimizu Division. Such a huge fleet seems to have disappeared. Liu Mingdeng is not sitting either. Neither is the station. Run to the highest watchtower. Go and see what's going on outside the harbor.

Wu Dating has long been standing on the watchtower. The two looked at each other and smiled wryly. Silent silence. The mood also became heavy. Quite worried about Li Guolou's safety. I'm more worried about the safety of the Great Shimizu Division.

At this time. Li Hongzhang, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, Li Henian, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Ding Richang, the governor of Fujian, have moved to Xiamen. Join forces with Wen Yu, the general soldier of Fuzhou.

The four-person joint performance "Preparing for Taiwan's Defense Situation". Four emergency measures to protect Taiwan were proposed, including "joint diplomacy, storage of sharp weapons, storage of talents, and communication".

Four important ministers of the imperial court recognized the importance of Taiwan's status. Taiwan is called "the gateway of the seven provinces," "the key to the North and South Oceans," and "China's first gateway." Speeding up Taiwan's coastal defense construction was then put on the agenda. It is proposed to "erect a cross-sea power line from Tainan to Xiamen and a land power line from Xiamen to Fuzhou. So that the message can flow smoothly as soon as possible. Don't miss the plane."

It is advisable to purchase ironclad ships from the British. Fujian Governor Yamen asked the bank to borrow 10 million yuan.

Although Li Guolou did not attend the meeting. Dante Richang signed for Li Guolou. It shows that Li Guolou approved the proposal.

Li Hongzhang said worriedly: "Ding Xiaogui. Your appetite is also too great. Ask Li Guolou for 10 million silver dollars. Isn't this asking for Li Guolou's life?"

Ding Richang smiled treacherously: "Master Fu Xiang. I'm leaving room for Li Guolou. Let him get seven or eight percent off. It doesn't matter. Is this kid still less money to loot Fujian? I am taking it from the people. Use it for the people."

Li Hongzhang said solemnly: "Ding Xiaogui. It's a time of war. No room for jokes. Everything is based on reality. First borrow $4 million from the invited bank. Alleviate Fujian's urgent needs."

Ding Richang's mung bean eyes stared at Li Hongzhang. Suspicious, he said, "Master Fu Xiang. Please come in and the bank will give it."

Li Hongzhang bowed: "Don't worry, little ghost Ding. Take my edict. Within three days. Please come in to the bank and you'll have four million dollars raised."

"Oh. Master Fu Xiang is treacherous. You must still have leeway. Five million dollars is a small business." Ding Richang is not big or small. Pointing at Li Hongzhang's nose. See through Li Hongzhang's hole cards at a glance. No wonder Li Hongzhang worked so hard to cheer for Li Guolou. Crowned Li Guolou as the commander-in-chief of Taiwan. It turned out that Li Hongzhang had long been bought by Li Guolou's sugar-coated cannonballs.

Ding Richang changes the figures. into five million dollars. Only then did I sit down and drink tea with peace of mind.

Li Hongzhang stroked his beautiful three strands of beard. A smug smile. Assisted by Li Guolou. Why worry about the war in Taiwan. Four important ministers of the imperial court. After seeing the twists. Signature and seal. Eight hundred miles were expedited to Jingshi. Of course, the telegram was sent first. Prince Gong was the first to get the news.

Li Hongzhang, Li Henian, Ding Richang, and Wen Yu live in the same compound. Cooperation. Working day and night upside down. Li Hongzhang stays in front of the radio all day long. Soon the court advised: "Do as you have been discussed. Permission to borrow from the private sector. And allow it to move the deposits of Fujian Province to the urgency. Use it at your discretion."

Ding Richang dispatched more than 30 Goshkha. I want to go to Fuzhou "Please come to the bank" to withdraw 500,000 yuan. Solve the urgent need first.

Wen Yu heard someone outside shouting and neighing. Only then did I know that Ding Richang wanted to withdraw 500,000 yuan. Wen Yu hurriedly stopped the horse team. If you go to Ding Richang and report to Xiamen, you can get 500,000 yuan. No need to make a trip to Fuzhou.

Ding Richang only knew. Xiamen four-door shop "Please come to the bank". There's so much money out there. blurted out: "Donkey balls. It turns out that Li Guolou is so rich. And I'm thinking about saving him money. I'm blind."

Wen Yu smiled: "Ding Futai. You don't know anything. Ordinary people queue up to come in the bank to deposit money. Fujian's shipbuilders are the most patriotic. The merchants of Xiamen have long been mobilized. I have transferred all the money of the South Seas back. They all support Li Guolou in fighting the Japanese invaders."

"Oh. I see." Ding Richang stroked his mustache. Be in a good mood. Although it is hard day and night. But there is the support of the people of the whole country. Let him be full of strength.

Ding Richang changed into a cloth suit. I went outside to watch "Please Come to the Bank". The streets are crowded. Crowds in line. Spread over several avenues.

See this scenario. Ding Richang couldn't help but burst into tears.
