At the fortress of Wusongkou, when Lin Yao, Li Xiang and the defending officers and soldiers were celebrating the attack on the American fleet, Huang Chao arrived with a team of cavalry, and announced on the spot that he had arrested Lin Yao and Li Xiang on the orders of Yiliang, the governor of Liangjiang, and Gil Hang'a, the governor of Suzhou, and immediately escorted them to Shanghai, and handed them over to the Americans for disposal.

When the officers and men of the Li family army heard this, they were in an uproar, and they had clearly repelled the US fleet and safeguarded the dignity of the country, but they were to be arrested and handed over to the Americans. Once handed over to the Americans, wouldn't it be fatal, the soldiers naturally did not agree, and they stopped Huang Chao's people from taking Lin Yao and Li Xiang away.

"Do you want to rebel?"

Huang Chao suddenly shouted, he didn't get Li Weiguo's order for the first time, seeing that the crowd was excited, he had to carry Li Weiguo out, indicating that the matter had been nodding.

Hearing Li Weiguo nodding in agreement, the soldiers of the Li family army suddenly did not dare to stop it, but one by one they still did not understand it, thinking that Li Weiguo should not give such an order.

"Our family must have been persecuted by Yiliang and Gilhanga!"

An officer suddenly stood up and shouted, which quickly resonated with all Li Jiajun.

"That's right! Our family has always loved soldiers like sons, and they will never treat General Lin and Staff Officer Li like this! ”

"I heard that these two dog officials have seized the military and political power of the adults in Shanghai together, and they have done all kinds of evil in looting the people's fat and people's ointment, we can't blame our adults, if you want to blame those two dog officials!"

"That's right! It's those two dog officials! Let's go to them for a review! ”

"Agreed! We can't watch those two dog officers kill General Lin and Staff Officer Li! Let's go to them for comment! ”

The crowd was indignant, and officers and soldiers at all levels formed a petition team to accompany Huang Chao, Lin Yao, and Li Xiang to Shanghai.

At the same time, the news also spread quickly in the various garrisons of the Li Jiajun, and the soldiers were all unhappy for Lin Yao and Li Xiang, and the spearhead was pointed at Yiliang, the governor of Liangjiang, and Gil Hang'a, the governor of Jiangsu, scolding them as traitors, and at the same time hating the Americans because of their unreasonable arrogance. The new hatred and old hatred of the foreigners against China's aggression broke out in an instant among the Li family's army.

Li Weiguo always paid close attention to the emotions of the officers and men of the Li family's army, and after learning that all the soldiers were angry, they were all scolding Yiliang and Gilhanga, and focusing their hatred on the Americans, he immediately laughed.

"Let's go, let's go to the Yamen, it's time to meet them!"

Under the strict escort of Su Sanniang and Zhang Xiaoliuyi, Li Weiguo came to the Yamen of the Military Preparation Road and met with Yiliang, Gilhang'a, and the American Minister Mai Lian.

"What's going on?"

As soon as Li Weiguo arrived at the door, the voice entered the lobby. Yiliang and Gilhanga, who were frowning sadly, were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood.

Shameless!

What a hate!

"What's going on? It's not that the officers and men under your command of Lord Li disrespect orders and maliciously attack the US fleet, which is really audacious! ”

Yiliang and Gilhanga shouted in unison, glaring at Li Weiguo fiercely, eager to go up and strangle him at this moment, they were really angry.

Li Weiguo sneered: "Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open, two adults!" It's none of my business, but I've handed over the military and political power to two adults, and something so serious happened? The two adults really have a lot of trust from the officials! ”

"You-you-you-"

Yiliang and Gilhanga only felt so angry that they couldn't breathe, they had been immersed in officialdom for decades. Now he is being played by Li Weiguo, a fledgling newcomer, as a monkey, but he can't refute it, and he is called a grievance in his heart.

At this time, Mai Lian had already heard the news and arrived.

Meet Li Weiguo. Mai Lian was also surprised, she didn't expect that Li Weiguo didn't seem to be very old, and he could be a fourth-grade official in the Qing court, holding tens of thousands of elite troops.

For Mai Lian, of course. It's just a little bit of surprise. In his world, he has seen many people who can grasp the military and political power of the country in their teens, and they are all privileged people. was born in a royal family or aristocracy, so Mai Lian was not cold, and regarded Li Weiguo as this kind of person.

After the exchange of courtesy greetings, Mai Lian immediately went straight to the point, challenged Li Weiguo, and demanded that Li Weiguo publicly apologize for the fact that he shot and killed a US soldier last year, and at the same time demanded that Li Weiguo punish General Wu Songkou and hand him over to the US side for disposal, and compensate the US military for casualties and losses.

How could Li Weiguo accept such unreasonable conditions, he refused without hesitation, and argued with reason, saying that Mai Lian was blushing and could not refute it.

Mai Lian saw that he couldn't convince Li Weiguo, and he also knew that Li Weiguo was powerful, and there was no need for him to use force with Li Weiguo until he had to, so he had to turn around and scare Yiliang, the governor of Liangjiang, and Jierhang'a, the governor of Jiangsu.

The official level crushed people to death, Mai Lian was well versed in the way of officialdom, and used Yiliang and Gilhanga to suppress Li Weiguo, and immediately achieved immediate results.

"Master Li, this matter is all caused by you, in order to avoid the two countries from fighting each other, you must apologize to the US side, and at the same time severely punish the perpetrators and hand over the perpetrators to the US side!"

"That's right! It's up to you to compensate! ”

Yiliang and Gilhanga sang and harmonized, wanting to push everything on Li Weiguo and show favor to Mai Lian.

Li Weiguo refused on the spot and walked away directly.

Mai Lian was also furious, and immediately returned to the docks, and after some discussion with Perry, 3,000 American Marines lined up outside the city of Shanghai, preparing to attack the city.

Li Weiguo is waiting, waiting for an opportunity.

Soon, Huang Chao escorted Lin Yao and Li Xiang to Li Weiguo, and Li Weiguo suddenly smiled.

The time has come!

Faced with dozens of important officers of the Li Family's army coming to intercede for Lin Yao and Li Xiang, Li Weiguo was indifferent, and just ordered someone to invite Mai Lian, Yiliang and Gilhang'a together.

Yiliang and Gilhanga were already desperate, and they planned to flee when the American army attacked the city, but when they saw that Li Weiguo actually tied up Lin Yao and Li Xiang, the guards of Wusongkou Fortress, and punished them, the two of them immediately felt that they were relieved.

"Why would he do that?"

"That's not simple, don't look at him showing off his power with us, after all, he is afraid of foreigners!"

Yiliang and Gilhanga muttered to each other, guessing Li Weiguo's intentions, thinking that he was afraid of foreigners.

Similarly, Mai Lian was also surprised, he had seen Li Weiguo's resolute attitude before, forcing him to finally use force to threaten him. In fact, Mai Lian has no bottom in her heart. He saw that the U.S. fleet had suffered losses in the artillery battle at Wusongkou, and he also understood that the Shanghai army was different from other Qing armies, well-equipped and strong in combat.

It's just that just when Mai Lian was riding a tiger, Li Weiguo suddenly released a signal of reconciliation, willing to apologize, compensate, and even willing to hand over the defenders of Wusongkou Fortress to the United States.

The sudden change also made Mai Lian stunned, but he quickly came to his senses. Worried that Li Weiguo would deceive, he deliberately embarrassed Li Weiguo in front of the generals of the Shanghai army.

"I want you to apologize in person at the US Legation, in front of everyone in the US Concession!"

When the soldiers of the Li family army heard the words of Mai Lian from the interpreter, they were all agitated, drew their guns and knives, and shouted angrily that they would kill Mai Lian on the spot, and they did not hesitate to fight with the American army.

"Shut up!"

Li Weiguo's eyes were cold. glanced at everyone, and then said to Mai Lian, "I agree!" I'm going to apologize to the U.S. Legation tomorrow, and you can call all the people you can find to watch, I don't mind! ”

Mai Lian was surprised. stared at Li Weiguo for a long time, trying to find a flaw in his eyes, but Mai Lian didn't find any abnormality in Li Weiguo, which made him very happy. It is believed that Li Weiguo has succumbed to the tremendous pressure of the United States.

"Very well, then we'll see you tomorrow!"

Mai Lian left happily, in front of Li Weiguo and the soldiers of the Li family. took Lin Yao and Li Xiang away. According to Mai Lian's idea, when Li Weiguo goes to the US Legation to apologize tomorrow, Mai Lian will execute Lin Yao and Li Xiangzuo in retaliation for Li Weiguo's previous execution of US soldiers at the US Legation.

Yiliang and Gilhanga also glanced at Li Weiguo with cold snort and contempt, and then left happily, they thought that Li Weiguo was soft on the Americans, and this matter would be resolved soon, so they returned to their former arrogant appearance.

After everyone left, all the soldiers of the Li family army immediately petitioned Li Weiguo, and even died admonishment.

"My lord, please save General Lin and Staff Officer Li!"

"My lord, is it also wrong for soldiers to defend the land and defend the country?"

"My lord, I didn't join the Li family army for a mouthful of food, but I saw that the adults treated the people well, loved the soldiers like sons, and joined the Li family army because of the lofty ambition of the adults for the country and the people, and I am willing to serve the adults to the death! But now the adults have succumbed to the obscenity of the foreigners and the shamelessness of Yiliang and Gilhanga, and handed over General Lin and Staff Officer Li to the foreigners, and they dare not agree with their humble duties! ”

"My lord, I don't dare to agree with my humble position! How can the lives of the lowly family be saved by the adults, and the lowly ones dare not resign, and ask the adults to give death, in order to thank the adults for their great kindness! ”

Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo!

In the blink of an eye, a large number of people knelt in front of Li Weiguo, the commander of ten thousand, the commander of a thousand, and the centurion, all of whom were senior officers of Li Jiajun, and the staff officers around them, although they were still standing on the side, after all, they were all selected by Li Weiguo personally from the China S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau, and they were loyal, even if they were dissatisfied with Li Weiguo's approach, they did not give Li Weiguo a dead admonition.

Li Weiguo glanced at the audience, everyone's expressions were imprinted in his mind, and Li Jiajun's performance was very satisfactory to him on the whole, which can be summed up in four words.

"The military heart is available!"

Li Weiguo glanced at Wu Yong, Wu Yong understood, and immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Don't you generals know what kind of character our family is?" I'm afraid everyone is wrong to blame our adults! This is a deliberate ploy used by the Lords, intended to paralyze the enemy, so that our army can attack him by surprise and win in one fell swoop! Hurry up and wait for your lords to call the shots! ”

The generals were stunned when they heard this, and those who reacted quickly quickly stood up and asked Li Weiguo questions.

"My lord, is that really the case?"

Li Weiguo nodded, stood on a high place, and shouted loudly: "Fellow soldiers of the Li family's army, Lin Yao and Li Xiang have made great contributions to defending the country, how can this official blame him?" It is true that the Americans' warships are superior to ours, and if we cannot completely annihilate them in one battle, our army will be in great trouble. Therefore, after thinking about it, this official had to adopt the 36 tactics to hide the knife in his laughter, deliberately paralyze the Americans, make them careless, and despise us. In this way, the Americans will be happy to neglect their precautions tonight, and it is the best time for our army to completely annihilate them! ”

"Humble and reckless, I couldn't understand the strategies of adults before, and I hope that adults will forgive me if I offend adults!"

"Please forgive me!"

The soldiers fell to their knees again, sincerely apologized to Li Weiguo, and asked for forgiveness.

Li Weiguo said with a smile: "You are willing to intercede for your colleagues, which shows that Li Jiajun is united; Your willingness to give death to your official shows your loyalty to your own official. This official has the help of you, why worry that Li Jiajun is not strong! Why worry about hegemony! Not only are you not guilty, but you have merit, and after the destruction of the US army, this officer will definitely be rewarded! ”

"Thank you, Lord for not sinning!"

"Thank you, Lord for your grace!"

"We are willing to die for your lordship!"

Li Weiguo's heart was suddenly surging, and he immediately deployed military operations.

The soldiers were already holding back the fire in their bellies, and they all happened to be sprinkled on the Americans, and they all asked for orders to participate in the war.

That night, more than 20,000 Li Jiajun around Shanghai County were quickly mobilized.

The Great War is imminent! (To be continued......)
