The sound of cannons faded away, the guns burst out, and the shouts shook the sky, rolling torrents, and the Qing soldiers did not look back, and moved forward bravely

The sharp weapon pierced into the body, and there was a dull and dull sound, and the cold eyes under the military helmet, and the heavy gasping sound······

The Hui people were chaotic and screaming, and the howls were mixed with the sound of grenade explosions······

Xu Zhanbiao gathered around all kinds of generals Huang Ding, Gao Liansheng, Peng Dingyue, Mo Baoguo, they all showed a satisfied look, praised the artillery soldiers for their first contribution, and the short soldiers could not support the Qing army even for a round, and the Qing army was a crack general, after severe military drills, and the return army was three generations of grandparents and grandchildren who went to the battlefield together, and there were even women, this war was destined to be a tragedy

Li Guolou stood by and watched the three fortresses in the sky, the just war was also full of evil, and the rebels were torn apart by killing, and the war was not just a contest between two armies, it divided a country, let all nationalities live in harmony, and killed each other, so that civilians, women, and children suffered, and there was no morality to speak of on the battlefield, and the so-called lofty ideals could only look at the overall situation, not on the small sections

This war is a disaster for the Hui people, the Hui people did not examine it appropriately, recognize how big the gap between a nation and a country is, still obsessed with the glory of their ancestors, want to establish an Islamic empire, the Hui people think that with natural danger and the support of the people, they can resist to the end, but the fact is that a massacre is being staged by Dong Zhiyuan, who refuses to give in, and the people kill until they give in, not to mention that the Manchus are so cruel, and the Han people are so bloody when they open up their territories, and this is how the territory of a big country comes from

Dong Fuxiang returned to the camp, originally there was only one battalion, because he was ruthless enough, poisonous enough, and yin enough, and dared to kill his Hui compatriots, and dared to fight and rush to kill, so he was expanded to three battalions by the marshal Zuo Zongtang, and after a rebellion against the tyranny of the Qing Dynasty, the Hui uprising evolved into a nation of fratricidal slaughter, and the strategy of razing and destroying the Great Northwest was staged again and again

Xu Zhanbiao stared at his side, silent, Li Guolou, a literati like to fight, the Qing Dynasty is rare, fighting is financial, Li Guolou has strong financial resources, came to the front line within a few days, there are special supplies from all over the country, and in the name of the local governor to comfort Li Ziying, although there is some jealousy in his heart, but the same trench people, how can there be a barrier, hope that Li Guolou comes, don't leave

"Lord Li, our Sichuan army is also going to build an artillery battalion, and then please help more Hongyi cannon and Franco cannon, I don't want it," Xu Zhanbiao took out a box of cigarettes and gave a cigarette to others, tobacco cultivation is the strength of the Sichuan people, the Sichuan army is to rely on tobacco tax revenue to build a strong army, including opium, at this time, although the Sichuan army smuggled opium, but has not become a two-gun smoker

"Vice Marshal Xu, your words are orders, and the officials obey the orders," Li Guolou has a personable demeanor, maintains the demeanor of a Confucian general, and a group of raunchy generals have become an alternative state of affairs, which is developing in an unexpected direction for him, and it is impossible for him to be a low-key person if he wants to be a low-key person, and it is impossible for the world to evaluate him

"Lord Li's loyalty to the country can't help but be admired, so I don't want to see us go to Li Ziying to drink celebration wine", as the deputy marshal of all walks of life, Xu Zhanbiao knows what happened in the fortress next, they are all Qing officials, how can they go to see this kind of bloody scene, a celebration fold, and count the dead people in the fortress in the number of enemies killed

But as a commander, you have to be fierce, so that the resisters lose their fighting spirit, and the kindness of women is not advisable, this is not about national hatred, this is the inevitable result of the cruelty of war, and the righteous army has done this kind of thing, and whoever dares to say more will climb the city wall

"Please, Vice Marshal Xu, please invite me, there is good wine here," Li Guolou glanced at the towers on the loess slope, and did not have the courage to ask for the people's lives, offending the generals on the battlefield, and the end was very sad, no one would come to the rescue, and Li Ziying's camp would be shot in the back

"Haha, next, it's time for me to serve the country with loyalty, Lord Li, you bloom the bomb to blow up the loess wall, the power is very powerful, I don't know how powerful it is to bomb the stone into a fortress," the local soldier Tusi Peng Dingyue was the first to speak, they are the minority soldiers are compulsory soldiers, for the Qing Emperor to be loyal to the country, the emperor voluntarily came to fight, the native soldiers have no salary, the commander of the soldiers, Zuo Zongtang only cares about their food and clothing, and the income of the local soldiers can only be obtained by fighting and paying, so this army is extremely fierce in war, and the desire for a fortress is stronger than any army

"Don't worry, no matter how strong the fortress is Peng Tusi and Mo Tusi, I can smash the first line of defense on the enemy's city wall," Li Guolou swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, and the loess towers turned into smoke, and the first credit was won by him, and everyone had vanity, at this time, Li Guolou became a shining star

"Hahahaha, okay, tonight we will open the long night, save more dreams, Lijiabao Lao Tzu is here," Tusi Mo Baoguo was afraid of the surrender of the Hui army, first surrounded the fort, and did not let the news of Xiao Kongtong leak out, these ethnic minorities have no humanity, they broke through the fort and survived, and the captives were treated as slaves, slaves are pigs, and they have to drive a group of pigs back to their hometowns

In the other battalions, the artillery stars surrounded a group of artillery officers of the Li Zi Battalion like the moon, and they worked hard for three days and three nights, and at this time they had to drink to celebrate the arrival of the officers and men of the Li Zi Battalion to the front line, and the people were sleepy and tired, and this time they made the first contribution, and they could still stand in a safe place, so that every artillery officer's face would shine

Li Guolou looked in the direction of Lijiabao, dusk was approaching, but the firelight reflected the loess fort in Xiaokongtong red, and the sound of shouting and killing gradually went out, and the next one was Lijiabao became a place of death, although Dong Zhiyuan's soul was not caused by him, he only contributed to the killing in advance, but he could not change the fate of the Hui people

Li Guolou looked at the sunset in the west and did not feel infinitely sad, if he was the commander-in-chief, how should he treat these rebels

Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, and Zuo Zongtang are in the same line, and there is no second way to negotiate with the rebels, which is an unrealistic joke that makes the Hui people think that the Qing Dynasty has become weak and deceitful, and will only make the Hui people increase the pace of autonomy, as for those who flaunt the Hui rebels, they just demand autonomy, and the power is ridiculous, that is just an expedient measure for the rebels, and when the various departments of the Hui army are united, they will also become an independent kingdom like the Jiangzhedesha State, and then the Qing Dynasty will never be at peace, and a prosperous kingdom will inevitably expand its territory and strip the land of the Qing Dynasty, so that a country will become divided

The benevolence of a woman is not desirable, Li Guolou flicked his sleeves and entered the military tent, there is wine today, and he is drunk today, leaving Xiaokongtong, a Taoist holy land, behind

The tall and burly Xu Zhanbiao saw Li Guolou return to the banquet and stood up, and immediately became radiant, covering everything around him, and everyone around him became his foil, haha smiled and said: "Lord Li, why do you drink this wine well, go away, and you will be fined three glasses of wine."

Li Guolou smiled bitterly and said: "Vice Marshal Xu, the subordinate will not dare to disobey the order, but Peng Tusi and Mo Tusi will be unhappy, and the Li Ziying will be pulled out tomorrow, I can't disobey the military order······"

Before he finished speaking, he was already drunk, and he took Xun Xi to shoot the case and said angrily: "Lord Li, don't you still have me, and then the artillery will be under my command, when does Lord Li want to return to Kyoto?"

Li Guolou listened to the blood pouring up in his brain, and he was unfamiliar with the white-eyed wolf, and the artillery officers under his command were all bought by Xu Zhanbiao, where did people look down on him, and he was hypocritical and wronged, and secretly drew salaries from the bottom of the kettle to beat his artillery officers together, and now he drew his sword and crossbow, raised his eyebrows, and unsheathed his sword

"Well, if you have the ambition to serve the country, your ambition is commendable, it is time to let Xun Guandao emerge, and then hand over the command of artillery to Xun Guan, and I will retreat to the second line, wow, ·······." Li Guolou sat down and drank a drink, and his official position was still too small, and he walked to a high place to know how to hang himself from a tree

Xu Zhanbiao's cheeks covered his smile, smug glanced at the drinking officer under the tent, everything here belongs to Li Guolou, he can fish it out as soon as he stretches out his hand, Li Guolou is very knowledgeable, he doesn't hold on to it, if not, he will let Li Ziying go back to Beijing if he makes a move

The sentence "When will Master Li return to Beijing" did not say it, the table was full of good wine, good food, and fresh vegetables, southern melons and fruits, all of which were made by the front line of Li Ziying, so that he had a mouth, not to mention the governors from all over the country, donating military salaries, it was rare to have enough money and food, how could Li Guolou, the "money bag", leave

"Lord Li, our front-line officers and soldiers are very grateful for Li Ziying's selfless help, and I sincerely hope that you will stay a little longer, and you will toast to the friendship between the two armies."

"Then thank you Vice Marshal Xu for mentioning the logistics support of Li Ziying, and please ask Vice Marshal Xu to care more," Li Guolou's heart was full of joy, holding the cup with both hands, only by capturing Dong Zhiyuan and adding a few strokes with a wonderful pen can he be justified and knighted

The officers who understood the understanding stood up one after another, and one by one stepped forward to toast and express their admiration to each other, hooked their shoulders and was close to Li Guolou, and his face was full of wine, which made Li Guolou uncomfortable

How much affection has been aroused by his little white face, I can't figure out whether it is brotherhood or another kind of affection, Li Guolou drank round after round after round of half-pushing, anyway, this is Li Ziying, and it doesn't hurt to fall to the ground drunk

The banquet was in full swing, Guo Baochang shook his eight-figure steps, carried a horsewhip, proudly entered the military account, knelt on his legs and shouted: "Deputy Marshal Xu, the subordinate officer has lived up to his mission, and the four thousand defending enemies have been annihilated by less than 200 casualties, and Guo Ziying is going to be rewarded."

"Hahahaha, good, good Guo Ziying, the soldiers are all strong, and the commander sees that Guo Shoubei will not be wronged, you will be rewarded with a big bowl of wine first," Xu Zhanbiao touched his beard and smiled, looking at the generals who love Guo Baochang, and his temper was a little weird

"Hehe, or Vice Marshal Xu, I know my old Guo, I'm just thirsty," Guo Baochang drank the wine in a sea bowl, and drank the wine on his beard, clothes, and the ground, so that the people next to him praised the "good man" in unison.

"Old Guo, don't mention the trouble, Lord Li is a scientific detective, Hualang, let's not listen to the great achievements of the thief," Gao Liansheng was afraid that Guo Baochang would not be able to control his stinky mouth and boast about his exploits

"Hahahaha, don't say it, don't say it, Lao Guo is not drunk, come to Lord Li, how close the two of us are," Guo Baochang poured a full bottle of wine and ran to toast with his allies, and he was grateful from the bottom of his heart for the artillery support of Li Ziying, he was also an old soldier, how many people were going to die in a tough battle, and when he didn't fight, he probably had a strong ability to bear it, and it was very low for more than 200 casualties to fight Xiao Kongtong, which was beyond his expectations, and this time he finally saw Li Guolou pleasing to the eye

"Hey, hey, good man, let's have a drink" Li Guolou wanted to speak and stopped, others can guess a rough tiger hero if they don't speak, as for how many tigresses he has beaten, don't guess, after a while, Guo Baochang will vomit when he drinks too much, and he will tell the details

"Lord Li, do you want it," Guo Baochang hooked Li Guolou's neck and asked in a low voice, with a look of banter on his face

"Forget it, Lao Guo or give it to others, everyone, I salute everyone, I wish to capture Dong Zhiyuan as soon as possible, and beat the enemy Marshal of the Eighteenth Road" Li Guolou maintains the literati etiquette, and he can't change this cruel world, but he won't be in the same stream

"Old Guo, don't mutter, come and drink," Xu Zhanbiao did not want the harmonious atmosphere at the banquet to be destroyed by Guo Baochang, as Dong Zhiyuan's front-line commander, he had the responsibility to let this army maintain a sense of honor as a soldier

Some things don't mention that they will disappear in the past, and they will not be mentioned in the history books, and they will not be written in the folds, as for the literati who have not personally experienced the battlefield, no one will admit that those who boast of their ancestors' military exploits, and the descendants only see a string of numbers, and absolutely cannot imagine what a dirty process is implied in this string of numbers

Li Guolou used alcohol to anesthetize himself and got drunk, he didn't want to listen or think, just drunk his soul to reveal the original face of war, he couldn't tell whether a hero or a criminal was born, as long as he gave an order, a soldier would become a beast, this is not a crime, this is war

It's strange that Li Guolou actually likes this kind of killing, he laughs presumptuously, binds his heart knot, and unties the knot in his hand, and he waves the flag in his hand, "Let go"

It was as if a forty-pound cannon had been ejected, Li Guolou fell down with a bang, and the military tent burst into laughter, and another person fell

"Cheers"

The soldiers who stood tall raised their glasses, they numbed themselves with alcohol, forgot a killing, brought trauma to the soul, wrote down the dark side of war, and the just war was also full of blood. This war is rarely mentioned, as if the Qing army did disgraceful things, and the history books are written in contradictory terms, and the books devalue the Manchus to nothing, but it is these people who have recovered one-sixth of the country's land, not including the vast land of the great northwest. The Manchu Qing also wanted to improve themselves, and there was also a ZTE. The cession of territory is not the exclusive patent of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, where did a large piece of the motherland's territory go?
