【196】The Three Armies of the Galaxy Shadow Shake (24)

In the Tianjin Governor's Palace, Li Hongzhang gently pushed open the heavy black and purple window lattice, looked at the pomegranate trees in full bloom in the courtyard, and was silent for a long time.

This study in the backyard is Li Hongzhang's favorite place, and the furnishings and even the direction are all arranged according to the study room of his hometown in Hefei.

Li Jingfang, Li Jingshu and Li Jingxuan, the three of them stood silently in the study, all with solemn faces.

"Dad, if you really want to see Brother Yao, take me with you." Li Jingxuan suddenly couldn't hold back his anger and spoke.

"The third sister is messing around! That Yao Fan is the number one thief today! How dangerous his camp is, how can you get there! Also, why do you still call him Brother Yao! If someone else hears it, it's a problem! Li Jingfang disciplined his sister.

"Shut up! With me, it's not your turn to be in charge! If your sister is in trouble, what do you want to do as an older brother! Li Hongzhang suddenly reprimanded.

Li Jingfang bowed his head in fear and said, "What my father taught me. ”

Li Hongzhang was sad in his heart, no longer looked at the pomegranate tree, looked up at the blue sky in the distance and sighed: "The Manchu Dynasty has disarmed the civil and military forces, and no one is a man......"

Li Jingshu said indignantly: "Father is the father of recreation, high merit, now the court treats you so coldly, with the name of the first assistant, go to Longtan Tiger's Den, that class of silverfish Tian is shameless, and he dares to write something on the official letter of Huanghuang, 'The public has a daughter, the luck of the court'."

Shameless!! Shameless!! Shameless!! ”

Speaking of later, Li Jingshu had already gritted his teeth and couldn't say it anymore.

Li Hongzhang said gloomily: "In my life, I have been a teenager in the imperial examination, a horse in the prime of life, a middle-aged feudal territory, and a foreigner in my later years. Now he has ended up with a life's work ruined, what a sad husband! ”

Li Jingshu said angrily: "Daddy! Don't go to Cangzhou! Just push the disease! Let the Manchu Dynasty make trouble with those well-dressed beasts! ”

Li Hongzhang shook his head lightly and said desolately: "Yao Fan said that I am a pastemaker, although the dilapidated house of the Qing Dynasty is glamorous and beautiful, but the dilapidated house is a dilapidated house after all, and it cannot withstand the wind and rain." He also said that the Qing Dynasty court was 'a small temple with a big wind, and a shallow water with many kings', saying that I was shallow and big, and it was difficult to move an inch, but if I dared to get off the boat, I would be bitten to death by a group of kings...... Hahahahaha...... This son is a genius! If I have a son-in-law like this, what more can I ask for? ”

After Li Jingxuan heard what Li Hongzhang said, his body shook, and he almost stood up and fell.

Li Jingshu was stupid when he heard it: "Dad, do you really want to go?" Do you really want to give your sister to Yao Fan? ”

Li Jingfang hurriedly said: "Dad, that Yao Fan kills people like hemp, extremely vicious, where he passes, the gentry are frightened, and they flee when they hear the wind, if I give my sister to him, won't my Li family be the eyes of the world." ”

Li Hongzhang drooped his eyelids and said, "You all go out, Ju Couple stays." ”

Li Jingfang and Li Jingshu had to withdraw from the study, leaving Li Jingxuan standing in front of Li Hongzhang in a daze.

Li Hongzhang said softly: "Ju Couple, what kind of person do you think Yao Zaofan is?" ”

Li Jingxuan looked at Li Hongzhang with a pair of big watery eyes, but her gaze seemed to pass through her father's body and cast it into the blue sky in the distance, and she recited affectionately: "New China!" It is a ship that stands on the shore and looks at the sea and can already see the tip of the mast, it is standing on the top of a high mountain, looking at the east from afar, it is a round of sunrise that is about to burst out, it is restless in the mother's womb and is about to mature a baby. ”

Li Hongzhang's body trembled, and he said abruptly: "You are still communicating with Yao Fan." ”

Li Jingxuan bowed his head slightly and said: "Father, the climax of the people's revolution has arrived, which is not subject to anyone's will, women's liberation, national liberation, and the freedom and liberation of the Chinese nation are like a long-suppressed volcano, which is about to erupt unstoppably in this new era."

The deeper the oppression, the greater the reaction, and the longer it has been stored, the faster it will be. In the future, the reform of the Chinese nation led by Chairman Yao will be more thorough than that of any nation in the world! The society of the Chinese nation will be brighter than any other society in the world! The great alliance of the Chinese nation will be succeeded before any nation in any region of the world. ”

Li Hongzhang sighed: "You are only ten years old this year, but the books you have read are no less than your two elder brothers, you secretly corresponded with Yao Fan through Guò Meris Foreign Bank, asked him questions, and received a lot of books from him, Yao Fan's examination of me and the imperial court, I saw it from his letter to you, a good 'pasteur', a good 'boat and shallow water', a good 'temple demon wind, shallow water Wang Baduo'!"

Ju couple, let me ask you, what kind of person do you think Yao Fan is? ”

Li Jingxuan straightened up, raised his head and said in a trembling voice: "All the past, count the romantic characters, and look at the present!" ”

Li Hongzhang stood stunned and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that I would fight back and forth, but there was a little thief in the family." Yao Fan wrote to me the day before yesterday asking you to tell me that the enlightened gentry policy practiced by the Communist Party of China, why don't you sue me? ”

Li Jingxuan trembled and said, "Didn't my father already know from the report, why should I say it again." ”

Li Hongzhang said: "You don't want to persuade me? ”

Li Jingxuan said: "Father's character, can you listen to persuasion?" ”

Li Hongzhang said with a desolate face: "You go down, come with me tomorrow and go to Cangzhou." ”

……………………

Yao Fan was looking at the statistical battle report in the general headquarters of Cangzhou at the moment, and said with emotion: "Now our army's bullet consumption is too great!" In one Botou battle, an average regiment lost 40,000 rounds of ammunition! ”

Li Jun worried: "It is indeed a great consumption, at the moment our bullets are all imported by the chairman from overseas, such consumption is really amazing, I think I want to criticize the troops that consume more bullets in the next article." ”

Yao Fan remembered the Turkish Communist Party in history, a certain regiment was criticized for wasting bullets in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, and two companies ambushed the Japanese squadron and knocked out more than 400 rounds of ammunition, and ran back to the battlefield a few days later, carefully searching for bullet casings...... Then I remembered the billion rounds of ammunition I had just purchased......

"Now that the machine gun is equipped with each platoon, bullet consumption is indispensable, don't criticize, just click on it, remind everyone not to waste bullets, and try to improve the hit rate of aiming and shooting."

"Yes!"

As he spoke, a communicator rushed into the temporary headquarters, stood up and saluted, and gasped: "Report to the chairman!" The Qing government sent people to negotiate peace! ”

Yao Fan said in surprise: "This is all coming to the city immediately, and they will come to negotiate." ”

Li Hainiu also rushed in from outside at this time: "Chairman, have you heard?" The Qing government has come to negotiate! A large group of people, waving white and yellow flags all the way, are coming to Cangzhou City under the leadership of our army's front-line troops. ”

Zhou Si said nervously: "Are you planning to delay time?" The Qing army has been crippled by us, and it will take time to regroup and dispatch troops, chairman, let's not fall for them! ”

Yao Fan smiled and said: "If you come, you are a guest, let's just treat each other politely, you can't help but let people talk." But politeness is politeness, and our principle is still to make it clear to them and let them choose for themselves. In my opinion, we have to talk while fighting, so that we can talk about the roll call. ”

Li Hainiu heard Yao Fan say this, and smiled reassuringly: "Yes, we will talk while fighting, and halfway through the conversation, we will clean up Beijing and Tianjin, haha." ”

Yao Fan nodded and said, "Let's study it now, how will this be opened." ”

……………………

Li Hongzhang and Yi Xin did not sit in a sedan chair, and the two took a carriage, took a dozen personal soldiers and two clerks, and followed the escort company sent by Hu Guangting's third division to Cangzhou City.

According to the arrangement of Zhang Erpao, political commissar of the Third Division, this company sang all the way, pulling its throat, and singing over and over again "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention", "Military Song of the Chinese People's Liberation Army", "Unity is Strength", "The Internationale", "Return from Target Shooting", and "One, Two, Three, and Four Songs......

Yi Xin and his subordinate clerks rode in the same saddle carriage, and listened in horror in the carriage.

"This song is all made by Yao Fan?!"

"Back to the prince, it should be him, who made this tune."

Yi Xin fell into silence and continued to listen to these revolutionary songs singing over and over again, the solid tunes and lyrics, for those who read the books of this year, as long as they listen to it once, they can remember it in their hearts.

And Li Hongzhang was most concerned about Yao Fan's soldiers along the way, after seeing the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle with his own eyes, Li Hongzhang was even more surprised, such a short rifle, it can actually hit extremely far, I heard that it is still a Lianzhu fast gun, this gun is extremely exquisitely made, and it looks more complicated than all kinds of rifles that Li Hongzhang has seen. The rifle's spike folded under the muzzle, rather than other rifles of the era, which was placed in a holster and hung around the waist.

The PLA's simple green military uniform and majestic armed belt are also very eye-catching, and Li Hongzhang feels that this is much more decent than the cloth belt tied around the waist of the Qing army, and the bulging ammunition carrying gear and military kettle, and even the red star cockade and red flag collar badge all make Li Hongzhang feel fresh and good-looking. As for the rubber shoes on his feet and the leggings on his legs, Li Hongzhang disagreed, feeling that the cloth shoes and leggings of the Qing army were not lost to the PLA.

Listening to the songs along the way in Li Hongzhang's ears, it also caused him to think deeply, this kind of thinking quickly fell into confusion, Li Hongzhang said softly to himself: "Yao Fan is using songs to train soldiers, why didn't I think before, at least this method can be very morale-boosting, seeing that the ordinary soldiers in his army are all high-spirited, maybe it's because of these songs......"

When the carriage came to Cangzhou City, the city gate was wide open, so the negotiation team of the Qing government immediately entered the city directly and came to the Cangzhou Mansion.

Yao Fan had already heard that it was Li Hongzhang and Yixin who came, so he personally went out to greet him in front of the palace.

"Mr. Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"

"Just do your best, I can still say these four words."

"This must be Mr. Yixin, who has admired his name for a long time."

Yi Xin listened to Yao Fan's nondescript speech, nor did he call him an adult, nor did he call him a prince, let alone an official position, and he was angry in his heart, but since he came to seek peace, he was naturally three points shorter under the eaves, so he could only respond in vain: "I have also admired Mr. Yao's name for a long time." ”

Yao Fan smiled and stretched out his hand to Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang was startled, remembered the foreigner's handshake ceremony, and said angrily: "Zaofan, you and I are both Chinese, why use this foreigner's etiquette?" Don't you feel bad about losing your identity? ”

Yao Fan was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "The old rites talk about respect and humility, and we revolutionaries don't talk about respect and humility, so we use the new rites to advocate equality for all, and friends and friends, comrades and comrades, all use handshakes to express friendship." ”

When Li Hongzhang heard this, he thoughtfully stretched out his hand and shook it with Yao Fan, feeling that Yao Fan's hand was dry and warm, and it was very powerful.

At this time, on a big saddle car behind, Li Jingxuan jumped down.

After Yao Fan saw Li Jingxuan, he stepped forward with a smile, and said cordially while stretching out his hand: "Ah? Why are you a little girl, you don't study hard in Tianjin, what are you doing in Cangzhou? There's a war going on here, you shouldn't be here. ”

Li Jingxuan's face was flushed, he stretched out his hand and quickly shook Yao Fan, and then took it back like an electric shock: "I came with my father." ”

Yao Fanxin said Aren't you talking nonsense, "oh" perfunctory, turned around and walked towards Yixin.

Yi Xin saw that Yao Fan actually attached importance to Li Hongzhang, a girl who was a little bigger, and her heart moved, and she felt that this trip seemed to be really a bit of a joke, so she immediately stretched out her hand to shake Yao Fan: "Equality and friendship, I approve of this, I and Lord Li This trip is to convey the friendship of the imperial court to Mr. Yao, and I and Mr. Li and Mr. Yao are naturally treated as equals, and there is no need to be polite." ”
