Li Guolou lived in Zhang Liang Temple, and the aftermath was not under his control, or out of sight, he only needed to manage his soldiers well, make demagogic speeches, and let the more than 2,000 boatmen who followed the Xinwu Army to join the army enthusiastically sign up to join the army, which was his greatest victory, Li Guolou wanted to recruit troops in Shandong, and the expansion of the Xinwu Army was imminent, and the first batch of soldiers recruited was the Shandong Han

Li Guolou was happy to write a sprinkling recital to Emperor Tongzhi, blowing the battle of Weishan Lake to the gods, with the assistance of the White Snake Langjun, "the gods and ghosts make way invulnerable"

Li Guolou Society's official article: The Qing army's gods blessed the Yihequan gods, possessed the body, and won the victory with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, and the casualties of the Qing army were insignificant, and the casualties of the Xinwu army did not exceed 30 people

Zheng Hengdan was fortunate enough to see this and asked in disbelief: "Li Zhentai doesn't want the pension of the military department."

Li Guolou squinted and pouted: "Adjutant Zheng, I have given so much money, let alone 500,000 silver dollars, can this money be recovered, since the money is spent and there is no return, the reputation must be taken back, and it is necessary to catch up with Qi Jiguang, and the beauty of the ages is all in Shenfeng Ridge and Weishan Lake."

Li Guolou scattered wealth and took righteousness, making people look up to the mountains, Zheng Hengdan, crow's feet squeezed together, twisting the rat's whiskers, and said with a smile: "Li Zhentai is Gao Ming, are you afraid that you will have no money, when did we make a loss-making deal, and we will all come back to two or three coal mines."

Li Guolou stretched out three fingers and said calmly: "I told Zhang Futai that the management rights of the three coal mines east of Zaozhuang belong to me, and Robinson wants to negotiate with me in the future."

Zheng Hengdan smiled and said: "Li Zhentai, you are really treacherous, and you haven't rescued Robinson, you have to pat your ass and leave, regardless of whether your rival is alive or dead."

Li Guolou smiled and said: "How come, Robinson and I are like two sides of a coin, without him eating deflated, how can I set off my wisdom and martial arts?"

Zheng Hengdan was so excited that he couldn't sit still like a monkey and scurried around in the room and sighed: "I really want to see Sun Meijing's death, I don't know if Sun Macaque will know that we dug the pit for him when he is dying."

Li Guolou stared at the distance and twitched the corners of his mouth: "As long as I am willing to use my brain, there is no one, you can escape my Wuzhi Mountain, Sun Macaque, I think there is a water curtain cave, I can't help him, do his Monkey King's dream."

Zheng Hengdan's awe of Li Guolou's superiors and subordinates who had already surpassed him, and his admiration for Li Guolou was so much that he bowed to the ground and said: "Li Zhentai, you are too powerful, you can count this step, Shandong Governor Zhang Renjun is only worthy of lifting your shoes."

Li Guolou hissed: "That's why I said that as long as you grasp the opportunity, the opium ghost can also be a death squad, Adjutant Zheng, you have to learn to show favor to some people, and pay equal attention to grace and power to others, and to scold and beat some people until the mud can't support the wall, only God can punish him."

Zheng Hengdan suddenly realized, almost forgot his old comrade-in-arms Jinyinlai, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot that kid, I will send someone to release him, and then match a marriage, or I will personally run to let him be beautiful, I think that through this lesson, that kid will not mess up."

"I hope that the boss is not a small person, he doesn't want to leave my side, but people go to a high place, and I also hope that you will go out one by one," Li Guolou thought of fellow villager Fan Dahui and several other fellow townsmen, Cao Kexing, Wei Hanyu, and Xu Lan, these four fellow villagers were driven by him to sit on the shelves and sit on official positions, and they will be tied together for the rest of their lives, and they will share weal and woe

Zheng Heng was worried, there were ripples in his eyes, and he couldn't help but moisten, he was just a worthless scribe in the past, doing a copying errand in Balizhuang, and now he was entrusted with a heavy task by Li Guolou, and he will have broader prospects in the future, and he will have no regrets in his life, as for whether Li Guolou will rebel, it still depends on when Li Hongzhang will die

Li Guolou opened his pocket watch, as if he was looking at the time, in fact, he was thinking about the matter of Taiwan Town, it was already early April, until now Taiwan is calm, and Japan has no sign of attacking Taiwan, but he has mistaken the temperament of the Japanese, and his neighbors with a strip of water have abandoned their previous suspicions, and they are willing to see the Qing Dynasty rise again in the East and continue to be friendly with the Qing Dynasty from generation to generation

Li Guolou hesitated in his heart, whether to go to Mawei Port in Fujian Province or to hug the calf and suppress the bandits, the dilemma of choice, if he ran to Mawei Port and Taiwan Town, it would be a trip in vain

Li Guolou was still enjoying the war, and after thinking about it, he made up his mind to let Chang Shengjun go to Mawei Port to garrison the Xinwu Army first, and then decide to take the mountain road first

Li Guolou's conquest of Weishan Lake was not won or lost for a while, and Li Hongzhang was not idle, so he sent a special envoy to Cai Jin as a negotiator of the Qing Dynasty to negotiate with Sun Meijing, who was hiding in the deep mountains and old forests

Under the recommendation of Li Guolou, the official was promoted to the second level of Zhengwupin, and as a member of the household department, he happily received the order to go deep into the tiger's den, and from Nale and Nayuan, he also brought two bodyguards, "Monkey King" Sun Yue, and "Fat Cow" Zhang Tieniu, five big men, two carriages, carrying Sun Meifang's two widows and Sun Meifang's coffin, and went straight to hugging the calf

Nale and Na Yuan drove two carriages, Sun Yue, the fat ox rode a horse, and the wealth rode on a mule, and the group walked slowly in the mountains through layers of sentry posts, the mountains were abrupt, majestic, the springs flowed and the waterfalls flowed, the cypress was pine, and Sun Meifang's two widows rarely got out of the carriage, and they really couldn't hold back, so they took turns to facilitate the money on the road, and they were respectful to the two of them, treating them as chaste martyrs

There are two ancient temples at the foot of a mountain, which are Qinghua Temple and Chaoyunguan, and the bandits who led the way came to stay in "Chaoyunguan" with a big hand, Zhang Tieniu jumped off the horse with a strong and easy smile: "Where is the old brother holding the calf, can you point in a direction?"

The bandit who led the way took the benefits of the money, and his temper became kind, but he still looked at the people, and the long robbery in his hand leaned on his shoulder, raised his eyebrows, and said: "I said that the fat man said so much, why should I be careful to be cut off my tongue and eyes, don't look around, I want to become blind."

Zhang Tieniu has a good temper, he still smirks innocently, it is shown as a big fool, the wealth is in his hand, he holds a scroll of ancient names, shakes his head, and says: "Hidden in the mountains, no one knows it, only because of the fat cow in this mountain, we have arrived home."

"What's the boss, you have arrived, you can be clear," Zhang Tieniu pretended to be stupid, as if he only had one strength to do the work of losing his head

"Hey, it's Brother Sun who has arrived home, and he can finally be buried in the ground," the financial voice was low, holding the coffin with both hands, ready to carry the coffin into the "Chaoyun View", which immediately attracted bursts of crying, Sun Meifang's two widows held the coffin and sobbed

The people next to him sighed silently, followed behind, wiped their tears, the money cried more sadly than the bandits, a lot of tears and snot, without a false voice, this is the real ability, the money won the good feelings of many bandits, this chief is both unfathomable and reasonable, the ruffian and the bandit are similar, and it is not difficult to speak at all

Together with the three bandits, Na Cai carried Sun Meifang's coffin into the main hall, preparing for the Taoist priest to overtake Sun Meifang's undead

After the money was incense, he knelt on the futon and began to chant the scriptures: "It is a sigh that the spring scenery is blooming, and the flowers are blooming, and the Jun embroiders the lotus village, the glory and wealth are arranged, and the time is empty, and the time is empty, and the thousand years are not returned, and the summer scenery is rainy, and the incense in the lotus pond is difficult to buy with money, this light is in the summer, the three dog days, the small boat can be inched, the autumn scenery is beautiful, the chrysanthemum is made in the air, the wild goose is fragrant, the fruit is twenty-seven thousand years old, Yan Hui is unfortunate, the young man is unfortunate, the winter scene is sighing, the snowflakes are flying, the family is warm, Meng Jiang, the woman sends clothes to the cold, cries down the Great Wall, tens of thousands of miles, strips and turns to her hometown"

The money was only this trick, without dragging mud and water, and bluffed more than a dozen Taoist priests in the main hall, and there were people who ate and cheated among these Taoist priests, not to mention those bandits, and the original local bandits also wanted to give the wealth a dismount, and found that this person was actually a master of the world, but he couldn't blaspheme him

The Taoist put his hands together and said: "You are always merciful, kind, good, and the donor is a person who is destined."

The wealth returned the salute and said: "The Taoist chief is more polite, my life is not all the five elements, every mountain will worship Lusong Taoist priest said that I don't have a long life, I need to recite the scriptures to be good, accumulate yin virtue, and surpass the ninety-nine eighty-one souls, calm the anger of the dead, so that I can stay in the world and persuade the living to change from evil to good."

The Taoist chief nodded and said that the wealth was a big move: "Come on, all the brothers will give Brother Sun a pillar of incense, and Brother Sun is watching you from above."

Many bandits obediently obeyed the order, lined up to offer incense to the deceased, and the financial organization was super strong, so that a group of bandits could not help but be impressed by the order

Chaoyun Temple is the place of Taoist cultivation, Sun Meifang's body should be buried here, the Taoist holy land is not allowed to be desecrated, so many bandits did not abuse Na Cai Jin and others, took the two female dependents away, and arranged a few sentry posts, so that Na Cai and others stayed in Chao Yun Temple

At this time, Sun Meijing had already received the news of the death of his eldest brother Sun Meifang, and he was so angry that he was like thunder, he still had a strong strength, more than 3,000 soldiers and horses gathered in the mountains, and the aborigines had more than 2,000 young and strong, and there were bandits with guns, as well as a thousand Lincheng garrisons brought by him, these two people and horses were actually descendants of the Sun brothers, all the way in the light, all the way in the dark, and now relying on the mountain to build a wall, set up a card and occupy the mountain as the king

The negotiation broke down, and the eldest brother died tragically in Shenfengling, and the third uncle Sun Guilu led the Weishan Lake heroes were surrounded by Shandong warlords, and the two armies echoed from head to end, and the life and death of the two places were uncertain, and Sun Mei hated that he could not pull the flag and rebel, but his subordinates were loyal to the monarch and had a strong ideology, and still wanted to bargain with the Qing court with the foreigner meat tickets in their hands

Sun Meijing did not dare to pull the flag to rebel, now besieging the warlords of all walks of life who hugged the calf have known each other in the past, and there is friendship with the same door, to talk about the two sides and messengers coming and going, the Qing army and the garrison army in the city called brothers and brothers, did not tear their faces, the soldiers met, the Qing army entered the mountains with great fanfare to suppress the bandits, the exchange of fire between the two sides seemed to be fierce, but in fact, the real Qing army put a few rounds of empty guns, in the name of the attack did not go well, turned the muzzle of the gun back, and even some friends still left some arms in the mountains, Grain and grass were given to him, and all the warlords were hoping for a successful negotiation, and each of them was transferred back to his station, and none of the warlords were willing to do a thankless errand

If Sun Meijing pulled the flag and rebelled, the nature of the rebellion would be completely different, and the warlords from all walks of life would cut off their robes with him, and would never let his men and horses flee from the foothills of the Baoqinggu Mountain

After getting a ruffian sent by Li Hongzhang, and a literate ruffian to be a special envoy for negotiations, and his subordinates who led the way said that Cai Jin was a character, and at first glance, he was mixed with Sun Meijing on the road, and he came down the mountain to Chaoyun to worship his eldest brother Sun Meifang, and sure enough, the Cai Jin vomited and cried, and was moved and moved, which made people look sideways

After that, Sun Meijing and Na Cai Jin officially met, and Na Cai handed over Li Hongzhang's handwritten letter for Sun Meijing to see

Li Hongzhang's letter talked about some philosophy of life, and advised Sun Meijing to go down the mountain as soon as possible and return to the imperial court, and the imperial court will definitely treat Sun Meijing's people and horses, Lincheng and Zaozhuang can be assigned to Sun Meijing's jurisdiction, as for the expansion of the Lincheng garrison into an army, it seems to be a very risky thing, he can't do it, and he has to ask the court for instructions, and mention the money, and make a worry-free guarantee to the Lincheng garrison with the personality of the old chief, hoping that the hostage incident can be successfully resolved

Sun Meijing and Guo Qicai are both from bandits, and it is good to know a few big characters, where can they understand Li Hongzhang's letter, and the master next to them must explain the content of the letter to them

The wealth and gold sat calmly and drank tea, a pair of mouse eyes looked Sun Meijing up and down, only thirty years old, with a thin face, looking polite, dressed in military uniform, after the edification in the Qing army, he looked even more wise and martial, where can he see that he is a bandit leader who kidnaps foreigners

Sun Meijing is also observing, the five-foot figure is not short, the facial features are long, the right place is a little smaller than ordinary people, small head, small brain, big body, dragging a yellowed braid behind him, at first glance, it is stunted, it seems that he has no power to restrain the chicken, but the thin body sits straight and graceful, not like the kind of flattering person

The two sides seem to be talking and laughing, but in fact, they are secretly killing and weighing each other's strength
