Li Hongzhang looked at the students and school officials standing upright, and said loudly: "Today's tactical class is very well explained, and the analysis is also very thorough. If the army wants to keep up with the times, it must have the spirit of seeking truth and not complain about the heavens and others, and think that we are not good. Nor can we think that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, do not study the forms of foreign wars, and copy ancient military books, which will be regarded as a joke by others. Apply what you have learned, be excellent in weapons, be excellent in drilling, and have excellent ideological quality. Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime. I hope that the next time I come, you will not only make me feel good in the guest room. Instead, you want to show me the actual combat drill on the martial arts field, the artillery is accurate, the gun is accurate, the charge can be organized in formation, and you can also deduce it on the sand table, can you do it? ”

"Yes!" The officers and students still stood upright, and their resolute eyes told Li Hongzhang that they were trustworthy soldiers.

"Hmm······ I'm sure you can do it, stand for me for half an hour. Li Hongzhang stayed in front of everyone for a while, as if to remember the faces of each of them, and then left the classroom with his own hands in his own hands.

Master Xu Zhan pondered for a moment, and walked behind Li Hongzhang, he heard Li Hongzhang muttering: "It's defeat after defeat, defeat and defeat, and I don't know where the defeat is." complaining about gods and ghosts all day long, rebelling against their ancestors and forgetting their ancestors, and then liking and hating the old. First complained that guns were not good, then that technology was not good, and then that the system was not good, and then found that it was culture that was not good. In fact, it will work there, but people can't do it, and people can do it, and it will go a long way. When nothing works, it's called gas counting. ”

Xu Zhan stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Master Fu Xiang, there are many people and they are heard. ”

"Where did Li Guolou get military intelligence?" Li Hongzhang was a little confused, and asked a question.

Xu Chan thought for a while and said: "Master Fu Xiang, according to my guess, it is still by buying foreign devils. Of course, there are many soldiers who have taken refuge in Li Guolou now, and the nerd Weng Tongyi will also give him information. If you tell the truth about the Battle of Baliqiao directly, will you poke the basket? ”

"I just want to say it, so that I can stab it to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces. Anyway, this is under the jurisdiction of Principal Weng, and I don't have to shoulder it. Li Hongzhang stretched out his hand to ask for a cigarette gun while speaking.

"Master Fu Xiang, your adjutant Goshha is also upright, and I'm embarrassed to let them come out." Xu Chan was not guarded by personal soldiers behind him, and followed Li Hongzhang alone.

"Oh······ It doesn't matter, I still have one in my room. Master Xu, you went to ask Liu Jie to prepare for the dinner, and the bird faded out of his mouth. Li Hongzhang was addicted to smoking, opened his mouth and sighed, and tears flowed out.

Xu Chan hurriedly asked: "Master Fu, do you want to invite Li Guolou and those school officials?" ”

"Of course, this is his field." Li Hongzhang said meaningfully, and went back to the courtyard to rest for a while.

Xu Xuan turned around and walked towards the classroom, looking like he was in a hurry. envied Li Guolou's fortune as a headshot, he had just been punished, so he turned over the battle, and said that he would not help his relatives, and the benefits still fell into the hands of the Li family.

Xu Zhan came to the door of the classroom and called Liu Jie out, asking for a simple dinner, not a grand one. Good wine and good food are served, but not luxury.

This kind of high-sounding words, how can Liu Jie not understand, he is an old bureaucrat. Boasting about Haikou to ensure that it is good and beautiful, birds and animals are school officials to catch game, and good wine is poured into the vat, which is the old jar wine.

"Well, Liu Yanshi, he is very good, and in only two months, he can build a martial arts hall, which can be described as a lot of hard work. Lord Fu Xiang praised you, and the promotion is close at hand. Xu Chan said meaningfully, the officialdom pushes hands, and advances and retreats freely.

Liu Jie raised his eyebrows and asked, "Master Xu, then the old brother asked you for advice, is it a civil official or a military attaché?" ”

"The six-rank civil officials are in their positions, and they are allowed to go to the local area." Xu Chan replied categorically, it depends on whether Liu Jie is interested?

"Oh, that's great. Master Xu is only eight buckets high, and he is rich in five cars, and the lower officials come to you at night to ask for teaching knowledge, and talk at night. Liu Jie whispered in secret, and making friends in officialdom was secret.

"Hmm······ I'll take a look at where there is a fat deficit. Time flies, and there is a big difference between slow? Xu Chan reminded Liu Jie not to be petty.

"The lower officials understand the matter and will arrange it properly." Liu Jiele turned the sky upside down, he was the culprit in the Tianjin teaching case, and the other 17 Tianjin government officials were dismissed from their posts and investigated, and they were sent to the army to work in a wild land. But he was promoted and made a fortune, welcoming a turning point in his life.

"Well, it's good to know, before the fifteenth day of the first month of next year, there will be good news." Xu Zhan watched Liu Jiele leave, feeling a little lost, he was wearing a three-grade Taoist official hat, and he didn't let it go. Now I can only make a little money and fight a few tooth sacrifices.

After Liu Mingchuan stood for half an hour, he moved his muscles and bones, sat on the back chair with a golden knife, showed the majesty of a senior official, and first took the lecture notes of Cheng Kun's teaching, and read the thick lecture notes roughly. Most of the lectures are examples of foreign wars, and most of the domestic war cases are the defeat of the Qing army, and the victory of the battle is a minority. Quite dissatisfied, he said: "Master Xuezheng, did you make up this doctrine?" What a heart! ”

Li Guolou said with a smile: "Liu Gong, it is my editor, and the martial arts tactics class is targeted, and it is based on modern battles. If I still write about the mighty iron cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, the students' tactical thinking will go back to a hundred years ago, what is the point of mentioning the glory of the past. Only by proceeding from actual combat and winning a modern war is it worth showing off. ”

"Then what about so many examples of the Qing army fighting the Heavenly Kingdom and the Twist Army?" Liu Mingchuan did not give up and continued to ask.

"Hey, hey!" Li Guolou swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Gong Liu, aren't you here?" In the future, you will compile a book, Master Fu Xiang created the history of the development of the Huai Army, I am in the Taoyuan, how do I know the world. ”

"Hmmm! I've been writing for a long time, and it's much more real than you. It's nonsense for you to write, scoop up the Polun war and care about us. Liu Mingchuan treats a thick handout as a fan, scooping his hand and waving it, and he will throw off the pie at any time. didn't throw it away in his hand, which was already very face-saving for Li Guolou.

Li Guolou held back his anger and said dryly: "Liu Gong, your thinking is not advisable, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Why did the Qing army rout as soon as they saw the foreigners, and they didn't even have the courage to raise their guns, that is, they regarded the foreigners as heavenly soldiers and generals. Otherwise, I think I am a god-like person, no matter what is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of me, I will charge forward with all my strength, and I will not even be able to hold my position. Can you win a battle by getting a book of martial arts? Actual combat is the standard for testing the army, and what is the measure of this army? It depends on whether the army's daily training has reached the level of actual combat. A hundred years ago, the way of fighting was not advisable, learning from the advanced side, even the enemy had to learn, and people with rigid brains were only worthy of being cannon fodder. ”

"You!" Liu Mingchuan stood up suddenly, pointed at Li Guolou and poked it twice on the forehead, and said angrily: "Li Guolou, don't worship foreigners, be self-righteous, treat foreigners as godfathers, people like you will only pick up soft Shu and pinch them." As a civilians who were born and will die in Sri Lanka, and who deeply love the civilians of this country, I know where and why the people suffer. Only by knowing what aspects it should improve and what aspects of its efforts can we truly make the people rich and the country strong. The heart of sincerity can be learned from the sky. I trained soldiers, all of them are heroes, and they dare to go up to the sea of swords. I'm not a person who eats the ancients, I'll read your book first, find out the loopholes in your tactical thinking, and refute your fallacies tomorrow, let's talk about the long and short tomorrow, and see the high and low in the martial arts arena in the future. ”

Li Guolou habitually dodged back, took two steps back, his face was unhappy, but he still didn't wave his fist, his expression stiffened, he squeezed out a smile, and said: "Liu Gong, you have been separated from the world, and it is not what your heart likes. This is the meaning of the past with the wind, and then it must be the sound of the retreat, caressing in the sky, and the past is blown away with the wind. And you are troubled by everything, re-emerge from the rivers and lakes, and be inspired to serve the country and the people, because you have abandoned the outdated old concepts. The victor is worthy of being a superior person and writing legendary history, and this truth has been true since ancient times. When you see a foreigner, it will naturally bend your straight back. Now is not the time for you to look down on foreigners, it is when you are despised by foreigners. ”

Liu Ming was so angry that he had nothing to say, he was out of breath, and he chattered: "Li Guolou, you are too arrogant, too unspeakable." ”

Li Guolou said proudly: "Gong Liu, none of your subordinates Goshha is my opponent. As for the theoretical level, I'm a scientific detective, and I can't find a person stronger than me in the entire martial arts. So I have arrogant capital, and I also have the level of being a military theorist. Want to look for loopholes from my writing manual······ Hahahaha! After speaking, Li Guolou turned around and left the classroom, choking Liu Ming so angry that he sat down on the back chair.

There were no people in the classroom and people standing at the door, no one dared to speak, Li Guolou's arrogance was so arrogant that people had nothing to say, and the admirers of the martial arts hall regarded him as a military leader.

"Master Xuezheng, please teach us a lesson." Countless martial arts students surrounded Li Guolou, shouting and shouting noisily, not letting him go. There are human walls all around, blocking the surroundings from wind and rain, and the water cannot be drained.

Li Guolou was originally in a bad mood, but he was surrounded by hundreds of students, and he felt helpless. The enthusiastic student was not afraid of him, but looked at him with reverence, hoping to receive guidance from him.

"Good! Students, I'll talk about it for a while, but let me make it easier for you first, can you drink saliva? Li Guolou couldn't go out, his mood began to improve, and he agreed to the students' request.

"Hahahaha!" The playground erupted in amazing laughter, and the students finally got out of the way and let Li Guolou pee.

Liu Mingchuan looked at the classroom where only he and his five adjutants were left, and everyone else went to the playground to listen to Li Guolou's speech. My heart is full of loss, and there are many regrets, the country is broken, and the Qing Dynasty is ruined, how much change needs to be made?

Liu Mingchuan raised his red eyes and said angrily: "Why are you looking at me, go!" Let's listen to the speeches of fake foreign devils together, and only by applying what we have learned can we defeat the enemy, which is nothing to be ashamed of. While speaking, Liu Mingchuan walked to the playground and really went to listen to Li Guolou's speech, he just didn't believe in this evil, what was so great about Li Guolou! Rhetoric is nothing more than a nerd.

"Fighting a war depends first of all on morale, and morale is the soul of an army. It doesn't matter if an army is a little behind in weaponry, it doesn't matter if it eats almost badly, even if it loses a few times. There is no winning division in the world, and the British have fought many defeats, but Britain claims to be an empire on which the sun never sets, which means that the sun will always shine on the head of the British Empire

At the top, their country's territory spans the world, and there is always a British flag flying in the sky. The British are good at summing up the defeated battles, and the victory is always on the line, and it is often the British who turn to the British. Therefore, it is not terrible to lose a battle, everyone has to learn from the experience of fighting in battle, but there are ambitious people, who can be ashamed and brave. It doesn't matter if you have been defeated many times, don't be defeated, don't make the battle irretrievable, Zeng Dashuai once had a famous saying, saying: 'Repeated defeats and repeated battles', known as the shaved head if you can't die. As long as you are good at summing up lessons and lessons, you can pester your enemies like a piece of kraft candy. The commander is an excellent officer who does not let the enemy rest or sleep, supports the crisis with perseverance, wins a respite, waits for the opportunity to fight back, and then wins a key battle and reverses the decline in one fell swoop. The helmsman who can only row the wind is not qualified, and when a person's will and quality are tested, it is when the wind is against the wind. Therefore do not be intimidated by temporary difficulties, saying that the soldiers are not good, the weapons are not good, the supplies are not keeping up, the commanders are not good, the artillery is not good, and you are not in good health, and you must have money to fight hard. I'm strange, desperate and silver is inversely proportional, when our soldiers are desperately trying to kill the enemy, what do we need silver, dedicate our precious lives to the motherland, and what do we need to do with things outside our bodies. A soldier ruffian just doesn't like what he sees, and he doesn't have confidence, so what sense of honor does he have as a soldier? It's better to go home and plant sweet potatoes. Li Guolou crossed his waist with one hand, and waved his other hand in the air, looking like he was the only one.

"Hahahaha!" There were bursts of laughter on the playground, applause was endless, and countless pairs of adoring eyes looked at Li Guolou.

"The quality of will is the key to the victory or defeat of the army, and with the army soul, it will break through the dark dawn and meet the dawn of victory." Li Guolou said firmly, watching the sunset with blazing eyes. The ruined Qing Empire, as he said, still has hope in the world, but his heart gave a different answer.
