The rain in June was incessant. It's raining every day. In this weather. You can't let a large army go in. The Qing army in Magong Harbor builds a fort. Build a barracks. Everything is in order. Heavy rain could not stop the enthusiasm of the Qing army for construction.

In the rain. There were four horses galloping in the rain. Governor Xu Qiusheng wears a rubber cotton raincoat. Fight the horses and move forward. He is a toiler. Such heavy rain. Still toiling around. Just returned from Atayal territory. Come to Magong Port to return to Li Guolou.

A few days ago. Xu Qiusheng was reprimanded by Li Guolou. thinks he doesn't know the importance of being an official. The national disaster is at the head. I even made a turtle with a shrunken head. A magistrate. to a thousand garrisons in spite of it.

Xu Qiusheng is unspeakably bitter. This was also forced by Lin Taizeng. The official warehouse has long been emptied by the Qing army. What does he pay the wages of the people? Organize the people. No wages are paid. Always give food. Too many difficulties made him avoid Lin Taizeng.

Although Li Guolou criticized Xu Qiusheng. But he gave Xu Qiusheng 100,000 silver dollars on the spot. 100 horses of colored silk. Let Xu Qiusheng recruit people. Befriend the ethnic minority toast. This made Xu Qiusheng immediately stiffened. The richest officials and businessmen in the world made extraordinary moves. It changed the trend of the war in Taiwan. There is Li Guolou to support his work. Xu Qiusheng no longer has any worries.

Xu Qiusheng, who is in his fifties, is rejuvenated. Even heavy rain can't extinguish the enthusiasm for work. Meet Tusi Yabu of the Atayal tribe and Tusi Shu Faran of the Northern Zou tribe in person. Negotiate with the leaders of the ethnic minorities under his rule about comforting the Qing army. Establish a system of mutual trust. and the possibility of joint operations .

The leaders of the ethnic minorities saw that the Tongzhi Emperor was so generous. Send money and gifts to them. There is also a holy decree written by the Tongzhi Emperor himself. All of them bow and thank the emperor. The leaders of the ethnic minorities are all willing to contribute. Buy the surplus grain to the Qing army. Serve the Qing Dynasty. Even if you die on the battlefield, you will not hesitate.

Xu Qiusheng recruits the hearts of the people. Embraced by ethnic minorities. Returned with a full load of food.

Xu Qiusheng came to the gate of the barracks. A servant hands over the token. Xu Qiusheng entered the barracks proudly.

Li Guolou lives in a simple shack. Share the joys and sorrows with the warriors. It's not that he's simple. It rains all the time. It brings a lot of inconvenience. The army is stationed here. The commander of the army will live with the warrior.

Xu Qiusheng walked into the shack. There is only one case. Sticks of wood are covered with straw. A mat above. Some can't believe their eyes. This is Li Guolou's military account.

The two sit on top of the tree roots. There is a pot of tea on the desk. Just talk like that.

Li Guolou inquired in detail about Xu Qiusheng's people's feelings. For Xu Qiusheng personally. Satisfied with the results of the negotiations with the ethnic minority Tusi.

The two vanguard units of the Qing army have been stationed in the territory of the Atayal and Northern Zou tribes. Considering territoriality. Two battalions of the Changsheng Army were stationed in the territory of the Northern Zou people in the coastal area. Two battalions of the Xinwu Army were stationed in Atayal territory in the mountainous region.

Ashlu and his son were killed by the Japanese army. It is a cautionary tale for Taiwan's ethnic minorities. It's time to take sides. The national disaster is at the head. There is no such thing as left and right.

A unified association formed by Taiwan's ethnic minorities. Peony Society. It's fallen apart. The Qing army is not an opponent in the eyes of Taiwan's ethnic minorities. It's a compatriot of a nation. Brotherhood. The vast majority of Taiwanese ethnic minorities. Willing to serve the Qing Dynasty. Fight the Japanese army together. A territory that was never allowed to enter the Qing army. It was opened to the Qing army.

Li Guolou can't stay in Magong Port all the time to stick to the fort. Defend a military fort. There was no threat to the Japanese army. That's a losing tactic.

Li Guolou thought about how to enter the army. Instead of converging with Liu Ming's lantern. Li Guolou is not interested in joint operations. He's going to try to find a fighter. Fight a few battles with the Japanese army. Let's see how tough the Japanese army really is.

Li Guolou affirmed Xu Qiusheng's ability. The magistrates are in charge of the people. I have to deal with ethnic minorities again. Xu Qiusheng has a good reputation. Ethnic minorities have a lot of trust in Xu Qiusheng. What he asked Xu Qiusheng to do. It's all done. Two hundred stone of grain has been shipped to Magong Port.

Although Xu Qiusheng is in his fifties. But you can still do it for more than ten years. Lao Ji Fu Fang. Ambition is not sorrowful. Li Guolou praised Xu Qiusheng a few words. said that he wanted to promote Xu Qiusheng to be the Sipin Daotai in Taiwan Province in the future.

This made Xu Qiusheng, the governor of Bapin, almost angry. knelt in front of Li Guolou on the spot. Recognize Li Guolou as the master.

Li Guolou supported Xu Qiusheng. It is said that the Han people are not prosperous. He is a soldier for the country.

Xu Qiusheng's chatter didn't slow down. Still fantasizing about that four-rank official hat.

Li Guolou is imaginative. Point to the map. Said: "Xu Xuezheng. You are familiar with geography. If you want you to tell you where our army is marching? will pose a threat to the Japanese army."

Xu Qiusheng replied respectfully: "Commander-in-Chief Li. Look at it according to your subordinates. Or march from Atayal territory. The greatest threat to the Japanese army. But marching from the mountains. Difficulty in supplying. Artillery handling becomes a problem. According to the subordinates. Two battalions wanted to form combat effectiveness. At least 1,500 long-term men are needed to transport shells and provisions. Travel light. I'm afraid it won't be a threat to the Japanese army."

"Oh. 1500 long-term husbands. That's a lot." Li Guolou was the first commander. I don't know much about logistics and supplies.

According to the military system of the Chu army. The configuration of sergeants and long-term husbands was 3 to 1.Zuo Zongtang fought in the northwest.The Qing army roughly fought according to this ratio.marching and fighting.

The Qing army came to Taiwan to fight mountain warfare. The composition of the army has to reach a scale of 1 to 1.5, and there are more men than soldiers, and there is a war in the front, and a general mobilization in the rear must mobilize all the people of Taiwan in order to win this war.

"Not much. Hey. Commander-in-Chief Lee. You give me a hundred thousand silver dollars. I'm going to be the captain of this transport team."

Xu Qiusheng is cheeky. I want to work hard for Li Guolou.

Li Guolou squinted. Extremely dissatisfied said: "Xu Xuezheng. I follow Zuo Zongtang left and right. Understand the cost of logistics and supply. You're going to have to give me some leeway, too. Fifty thousand silver dollars is acceptable."

"It's also become. What Commander-in-Chief Lee said. Do what you want. Wartime. The common people are also patriotic. You can pay less." Xu Qiusheng is cunning and cunning. snickering. Young man where he is the opponent. Extra money. There are many things that can be done. It takes money to build Taiwan.

Li Guolou didn't think it was Xu. asked, "Xu Xuezheng. So how many troops did the Atayal Tusi Yabuken dispatch?"

Xu Qiusheng bowed and saluted. He bowed and said: "Commander-in-Chief Li can't say that Fanbing. To say private soldiers. That's Tus Yabu's personal arm. Jab is full of admiration for you. Willing to send 2,000 private soldiers for the Qing Dynasty. He had one request though. Please agree."

Li Guolou was overjoyed. smiled: "As long as Tusi Yabu doesn't look for me to kiss. Everything is negotiable."

Xu Qiusheng pretended to be angry and waved his hand. He rolled his eyes and said, "Hey. Commander-in-Chief Lee. What are you talking about? The Atayal people do not intermarry with other ethnic groups. You don't laugh at the Fang family. Tusi Yabu will make a bloody alliance with you. I want you to guarantee the interests of the Atayal people. He also wants the territory of the Beidong people. The lower officials should have come down. Just wait for Commander-in-Chief Li to come to Guangming Cave."

Li Guolou said: "Xu Xuezheng. There is no problem with blood for the alliance. This question of the territory of the Beidong people. Also need to be cautious. I can only promise a reward for a portion of my territory. Never raise a tiger in Taiwan. Do you understand?"

Xu Qiusheng said with a smile: "Understood. Or Commander-in-Chief Li has a strategic vision. According to the lower officials. Toast Yabu also knows your prestige. Don't dare to ask too much."

"It's hard work for Xu Xuezheng to go back and forth. Look at the tea." Li Guolou is still very polite to the literati. Didn't say a word of rudeness. Let him form an alliance with the Tusi Yabu of the Atayal tribe. Engage in feudal superstition such as worshipping the handle. Treat him as a gentleman who promises a thousand gold. It's ridiculous.

"Hmm. Good tea. Commander-in-Chief Li is in charge of an urgent military situation. When are we leaving?" Xu Qiusheng took a sip of tea. Look at the raindrops at the door. Can't wait to leave right away. He is the same as ordinary Taiwanese people. I just want to see the Qing army defeat the Japanese army. Let Taiwan welcome the day of peace as soon as possible.

"What is the urgency Xu Xuezheng. I still have to wait for Su Yuanchun's information. I'll get you back tomorrow." How could Li Guolou listen to Xu Qiusheng's words. There would be risks for Qing troops to enter ethnic minority areas. Li Guolou is the commander-in-chief. A person's life. It's about the morale of an army. It's easy not to take risks.

"Then the lower official will take his leave first. The lower officials also have important tasks. I'll not stay soon." Xu Qiusheng didn't have the leisure to drink tea. Put down the teacup and go. Before leaving, I didn't forget to get 50,000 silver dollars. Do things like a young man.

Li Guolou bids farewell to Xu Qiusheng. All the way to the barracks gate. Quite respectful to Xu Qiusheng. The army cannot fight without local support. Handle the relationship between ethnic minorities well. The win rate is more than 70%.

Zheng Hengdan just gave Xu Qiusheng 50,000 silver dollars. Some flesh pain. Watching Xu Qiusheng disappear in the rain and fog. sighed: "Commander-in-Chief Li. I don't think we're here to fight in Taiwan. Rather, it is a goodwill ambassador. is buying people's hearts for Liu Mingdeng."

Li Guolou sighed: "Liu Ming is thinking about leaving a name in history. The stone tablets on both sides of this official road are his inscriptions. I really don't see any good in his handwriting. Sightseeing. It's a lot of fun."

Li Guolou had a bad impression of Liu Mingdeng. Taiwan's military-civilian relations are not harmonious. Liu Ming, the chief soldier of Taiwan Town, protects his subordinates. This is what makes Taiwan's ethnic minorities alienate from Germany. It is not possible to prevent the problem before it burns. The bane planted by Liu Mingdeng. Let the state bear the consequences.

Li Guolou easily does not speak ill of others. But Liu Mingdeng has been commented on several times. Zheng Hengdan knew how long Liu Mingdeng stayed in Taiwan. It won't be long.

An officer in the command room is doing a tactical exercise. to the offensive state of affairs. Assault a fortress. Another officer killed and wounded the Qing army on behalf of the Japanese army.

Li Guolou pushed the door in. Silently standing on the side. Listen to the two officers' words. Through the deduction of the officers. Bring him all kinds of ideas. The Qing army fought against the Japanese army. Already lost a battle. So that the Taiwan garrison is stubbornly waiting for reinforcements. wants to change the tide of the war in Taiwan. It is necessary to completely change the pattern of the battlefield. The Japanese army can't be allowed to attack everywhere. It is necessary to combat the arrogance of the Japanese army. Regain the initiative on the battlefield.

The war of the commander is on the model of the battlefield right under his nose. Want to defeat the Japanese army. Just get close to the Japanese position. Get an in-depth look at the movements of the Japanese army. Li Guolou has already sent four battalions of troops. In accordance with the tactics laid out before the war. Look for fighters to fight the Japanese army.

Li Guolou looked forward to Su Yuanchun bringing him good news. With superior forces. Fight a small battle of annihilation. The Qing Dynasty needs victory. A small victory can also inspire the confidence of the people of the whole country.

Su Yuanchun is Li Guolou's left arm. Fight bravely. Act boldly. Li Guolou was the first to let Su Yuanchun go to the front. Fight in an unfamiliar environment. Confrontation with strange enemies. But the Xinwu army was not afraid of the Japanese invaders. Rush to the front without hesitation.

This time it was Su Yuanchun who led two battalions of troops. In accordance with the pre-war deployment. Smooth entry into Atayal territory. More than 800 soldiers of the Xinwu Army marched northeast along the mountain. Ten Atayal warriors lead the way as guides.

The Japanese army took advantage of national contradictions. Let the Beidong people be cannon fodder. Provoking a national war. The Beidong people attacked the Atayal territory in the Pingtung area.

This time, Su Yuanchun's mission was to defeat the Beidong people's armament. Let the Beidong people know how tragic it will be to betray their country.

The Atayal people make a living from hunting and mountain field burning. The national character is fierce and brave. Religious belief in supernatural deities. Ethnic color Chonghong.

Ten Atayal warriors have red mud on their faces. Wearing a coarse bro skirt. Carrying a double-barreled shotgun. Armed with a machete. Overcoming obstacles.

Atayal men and women along the way. Deliver food and water. One of the types of rice wrapped in leaves is hedgehog meat. The brave soldiers of the new military army all said that it was delicious. Some fried bugs. Placed in a bamboo basket. Not many fighters dared to eat it.

Captain Fang Zhiyong led the ninth battalion of the New Armed Forces to a sentry. It's the advance team. Be ahead of the curve. In front of the first outpost is a sentry led by Xu Zhong. There are thirty people in total. Groups of 10 people. Each group has a guide. More than thirty of them are the eyes of an army.

The mountains are steep. Strange rocks. The waterfall cascades down. Hidden trails. You can also see the warriors of the Atayal tribe standing guard.

Xu Zhong smiled and nodded to the warriors of the Atayal tribe hiding in the bushes. It's not easy to get out of his eyes. It's been the third day of entering the mountain. Walk through the mountains. Cross mountains and seas. Wading through the stream. Sometimes the compass is out of direction. Dense deep forests shade the sun. Even if it rains, it won't rain.

Xu Zhong secretly thought: "Fortunately, the warriors of the Atayal clan are not hostile. Atayal warriors are allies. This geography is combated. The stakes are just too great. Follow Li Guolou to fight. No worries."
