At this time, the commanders of the left wing of the Qing army gathered together and were discussing whether to change the route or build a road? Dong Zhiyuan is not a single road through the mountains and ridges. There are several roads leading to Yongyang Fucheng, and most of the high loess slopes are not so steep.
After consulting the engineer sentry, Guo Baochang made up his mind and said: "Let's build the road first. We can't take advantage of these bugs. I have plenty of time. I won't let them escape even if they starve to death."
Li Guolou said: "I have no objection. Why don't you find someone to go up and talk to them?"
"Report! The returning army guards Hu Dagui and Yang Wenyu have sent messengers." Before Guo Baochang could answer Li Guolou's words, a Geshiha reported that returning soldiers had come down the mountain to negotiate.
A group of officers standing on the hillock to survey the terrain were stunned. They had not started fighting yet, but they wanted to surrender when they returned to the army. Just now their faces were serious, and they immediately became eager to try, and they were so excited that they almost jumped up.
Guo Baochang calmed down, stroking his well-groomed beard tactfully, and said in a nonchalant way: "Well, when Cao Cao arrives, Chief Li is a lucky general. Bring that talker, I'll do it
Meet him. Hahahaha!"
Guo Baochang laughed happily, it had never been so smooth. He looked at Li Guolou's pretty face with indescribable affection. The Five Tiger General "Zhao Zilong" turned out to be his subordinate. This time when he entered Yongyang Fucheng, his left wing should
It was the route with the fewest casualties.
"Guo Shoubei, there is good news as soon as we arrive." Li Guolou, like other officers, had a look of joy on his face. It was just an official hat. The imperial court sent high hats to the capitulationists to add more to the already bloated Yamen.
It is not an exaggeration for people to enter. In the Qing Dynasty, there were so-called registered official titles. They were given first
With a salary, there is always a chance to take up the post. Being an official in the Qing Dynasty brings many benefits and benefits, as well as the love that can be passed down to your children and grandchildren. As for the meager salary, it is compared with the officials who have taken up the post. If compared with the common people,
Just getting a salary is several times better than ordinary people.
"Grandma, Hu Dagui actually came here, bah!" Guo Baochang looked at the towering fortress with some annoyance. Originally, he wanted to capture Hu Dagui and have a heart-breaking, lung-eating competition. The heartless traitor, in vain.
Get the imperial salary.
"Oh! It's Hu Dagui. Don't take it too seriously, Guo Shoubei. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This is how our ancestors survived." Li Guolou did not discriminate against the capitulationists at all. God's will has returned to the Qing Dynasty.
If there is a change of dynasty, he will also comply with the people's sentiments and join the new master.
Those who are loyal and unyielding have no descendants. They Han people are all descendants of the people who surrendered and obeyed the people. There are no exceptions, unless they cross the ocean to become expatriates in a foreign country. Those who rail against the cruelty of the Qing Dynasty and make it their mission to overthrow the Qing Dynasty,
They are also descendants of obedient people. The Qing Dynasty advocated the spirit of Guan Gong with unparalleled loyalty, but it accepted batches of surrenderers and gave them rewards and official positions. What they said and what they did were two completely different things.
The so-called "education of fools" is a policy of obscuring the people. Anyone who takes Guan Gong as a role model is an incurable fool.
Guo Baochang's eyes widened and he rolled his eyes at Li Guolou. He did not violate human ethics and claim the Manchus as his ancestors. The pretty boy was just a shameless bug, as shameful as the capitulators.
Li Guolou saw the profound meaning of Guo Baochang's expression, but his face did not turn red and his heart did not beat. He stood still. He was not a moral scholar, but a villain who pursued fame and fortune. Only such people can live a free and unrestrained life.
He jumped over the dragon gate and became a hero of his generation. The noble and upright literati could only hunker down at their desks and write vigorously to tell the injustice and darkness of the world.
Li Guolou doesn't care what others think of him behind his back. As long as he lives a meaningful life, he has done things that ordinary people can't imagine, and success will follow him. Selling out his ancestors and national interests sounds shameful, but the people in power in the country all
Selling out the interests of the country and the people for various reasons. As long as the country is not strong enough, it will do this dirty thing
This is called the reasonable use of power. It can be seen everywhere in real life. The descendants have good reasons for scolding the predecessors, and they bitterly denounce the decadence and decline of the previous dynasty. Read the full text of "Witch in the Ancient World". Living in a difficult environment, the same
Being able to make the right decision and selling profits in exchange for time to cultivate one's health and recuperate is called hibernation, and it is the art of preserving one's strength and cultivating strategy.
Facing reality is the most important thing. What will future generations say? That is hindsight. Blaming a history of shame cannot be the opposite. The so-called lying on one's back is to sell one's dignity and interests. Otherwise, it is not lying in a coffin, but lying in a coffin.
When the country is here, even the political power no longer exists, and it is difficult to protect itself, there is no talk of catching up and achieving great achievements for the future.
Fighting to the death is just a tribute to a kind of integrity and cannot change the fate of failure. Li Guolou does not want to be a tragic hero. He wants to defeat the enemy and bring tragedy to the enemy. As long as he wins, no matter how despicable the means or how many sacrifices he has made
People hate, but they still have to win.
As for the duplicitous capitulationists, as long as they are strong enough, there will be enemies who will join them. We must make good use of these capitulations and cannot reuse them. It is best to let them die. Next time we climb the city, we will use the capitulations. Li Guolou
With a dark heart at work, a pair of slender eyes stared at the lobbyist Yan Changgong who had returned to the army.
Guo Baochang stood up majestically and personally received the eccentric Yan Changgong. Guo Baochang glanced at him like a murderous warrior. Yan Changgong plopped down and knelt on the ground, shouting: "Guo Shou Bei, the little Yan Changgong greets you."
"Well, Yan Changgong, now we are two warring parties. What does Hu Dagui, that bastard, have to say?" Guo Baochang had a condescending air and did not let Yan Changgong get up. This was because Huijun had surrendered to himself and he had taken the initiative in the negotiation.
Yan Changgong saw civilians cutting trees around him and knew that the Qing army was already building roads, but he was not afraid at all. He had been refined for a long time and would not be afraid even if a knife was placed on his neck. He licked his face and said: "Dear Guo
Guard, the Han guard Hu Dagui and the Hui guard Yang Wenyu say hello to you and are willing to contribute to the Qing Dynasty."
Li Guolou almost didn't laugh out loud. He touched his nose and turned around. A traitor is fatal to an army. Fortunately, the army has taken in so many members of the Ge Laohui. People who are involved in the underworld are good at sneaking into camps and are cruel and cruel.
They will also use various means to get out of trouble at critical moments.
Many capitulationists are not sincerely repentant, but are just making ends meet. As long as they leave the dangerous situation, they will rebel again. Therefore, they must be killed. Even if they bear the reputation of betrayal, these unrest factors must be eliminated. Li Guolou guessed
Without revealing Guo Baochang's inner thoughts, we can only wait and see.
Guo Baochang sneered: "Oh! That's right. The Qing Dynasty is the most benevolent and righteous. As long as Hu Dagui is willing to put down the butcher knife, on behalf of the Qing government, I warmly welcome him. The guarantee I give is that no one will be killed. As for the official hat, you have also seen it. I
It's just a garrison. The military order told me to move forward and kill the enemy. It didn't ask me to sit down and negotiate. I don't have time to talk nonsense. However, the rank of battalion officer is still no problem. No matter how big an officer is, I don't have it."
Yan Changgong glanced at the back of Li Guolou. Hu Dagui and Yang Wenyu only had 500 guards, but they were still guarding in a barbaric place hanging on a high loess slope. There was no room for negotiation. Their demands were not high, so they gave them a way to survive.
The fever will be high even if you are in a camp
It smells good. Hu Dagui will not put down the weapons in his hands. This is the foundation of the capitulation faction and the rule of the capitulation faction. The capitulation faction must always retain some troops. Only with this result will the capitulation faction believe that the Qing Dynasty will not
Settle accounts after autumn.
Hearing that Guo Baochang promised to give Hu Dagui, Yang Wenyu, and camp officer treatment, Yan Changgong's heart dropped. What he was most afraid of was that the court would not allow Hu Dagui to surrender. But that shouldn't be the case. Hu Dagui seemed to have done more evil than Yang Dawazi.
, no reason
Favoring one over the other. Yan Changgong said flatteringly: "Thank you Guo Shoubei for your magnanimity and your willingness to take in Hu Dagui, the prodigal son, and Yang Wenzhi, the younger brother of the ninth commander of the returning army, Yang Wenzhi. But there is a small request, Guo Shoubei, your order will ask Li
Sir, as surety."
Li Guolou was stunned and turned to look at Yan Changgong. He never expected that his deeds of taking in An Jie, Yang Dawazi and others had already spread after returning to the army. He said anxiously: "Yan Changgong, how do you know me?"
Yan Changgong thought to himself that he was not a fool. He was not illiterate with such a huge Li-character flag. He said: "Master Li's reputation has long been known to all women and children. There is only one Zhao Zilong in Changshan in the Qing Dynasty."
.”
Li Guolou felt comfortable, but he was not the one who made the decision here, so he couldn't help but cast his eyes on Guo Baochang. A single draw would mean nothing, but he would still kill him if he turned against him ruthlessly.
Guo Baochang was already extremely happy in his heart, but his expression still maintained a murderous look, and he said with murderous intent: "This officer can do it, and Mr. Li is willing to guarantee it. As long as Hu Dagui and Yang Wenyu come down from the mountain, I will be rewarded with a heavy reward of two thousand taels of silver.
However, I will give my best advice here.
The ultimatum is that at 2:00 tomorrow, I will see all the returning troops coming down from the hill. After the auspicious time, I will not want any of them. I think your food and grass will not last more than half a year. I will not attack because I am hungry.
I’ll also starve you to death in the latest chapter of Zhu Bajie’s Rebirth.”
Yan Changgong said glibly: "Guo Shoubei, there is enough food and grass. We can still provide some help to the army, but there is insufficient firewood. Soon, the people above will have to eat raw food."
Li Guolou looked at this dead soldier. He saw that this was the master who was willing to risk his life. He was still chatting and laughing when he came to the enemy camp, which added to his good impression. He casually said: "Yan Changgong got up and spoke. Tell me, how many people are there?"
"This..." Yan Changgong stood up, lowered his head, his eyes were darting around, hesitating and refused to speak, and finally thought that this was not a good idea, so he said cautiously: "Less than a thousand people, more than one person
The establishment of the battalion. Commander Li, I shouldn’t tell you this, you can see it tomorrow.”
"Oh! I believe you are a warrior. Reward!" Li Guolou looked so calm and his voice was so pleasant, just like the tone of a pearl. But in his heart, he was thinking that the Han people had no spine and regarded surrender as the Thirty-Six Strategies.
Nothing good will happen next, Yongyang Fucheng will definitely be a bloody battle.
Yan Changgong took Guo Baochang's letter, which was stamped with the seals and paintings of two officers, and got two silver ingots. He walked happily up the mountain, holding the two silver ingots high as he walked, and told the guard above
Army, good news!
Guo Baochang saw Yan Changgong walking as if he was dancing Yangko, and he felt quite unsatisfied. He cursed angrily: "Immortal, there are still good days for the rebellion. If I had a strong family, I would not let such a treacherous little guy go."
people."
Li Guolou showed a pleased smile, touched his chin, nodded and said: "Guo Shoubei, it would be great if wars were like this, but unfortunately there are still mostly desperadoes. The Han people are mostly cunning and stubborn.
I don’t know how long this battle lasted?”
Li Guolou has only been on the front line for more than a month, and he already feels physically and mentally exhausted. The meaningless war has only brought psychological trauma to people. The country has to borrow foreign debts to fight the war, increasing the people's labor and taxes. National hatred because of this war,
And buried deep in our hearts, this is the memory that the Hui Rebellion brought to the Chinese people. The Hui people launched a vigorous anti-Qing uprising. Fortunately, the Hui people in Xinjiang and Shaanxi-Gansu did not win the victory, otherwise the entire northwest would be separated forever.
The Qing Dynasty ruled.
"I hope to continue fighting like this, the longer the better. I will make a fortune, and Annan will fight again in the future." Guo Baochang's eyes showed yearning. Heroes emerge from troubled times. He also wants to be promoted to a higher position, and it is best to become a count.
.
"You can make money by fighting in Annan, Guo Shoubei knows very well, right? If the war in Annan can make a lot of money for the Qing Dynasty, I will also support the war. If it is just for the independence and liberation movement of the people of Annan, a war of honor for the Celestial Empire, this kind of war
It’s better to avoid pretending to be fat. The national movement is in the ascendant, and we can’t be played like monkeys,” Li Guolou said.
You have to make money when fighting a war, and opening up territory means making money. It is worth sacrificing some manpower and financial resources for future generations. How about learning from the Franco-Prussian War and letting France pay huge war indemnities. This is how the Qing court was tortured to death by the British Empire.
Follow others' methods and return their ambitions, and learn advanced Western concepts, including making the country rich and the people strong through war.
Does it make sense to fight for something as frivolous as honor? Saying a few nice words and kowtowing a few times is not a true son. Stationing two thousand Qing troops in a vassal country has only symbolic meaning and is of little use.
In fact, these vassal countries are still independent countries. They only recognize a nominal king and father and let the Celestial Empire feel complacent.
"You, you have the tone of an official and a businessman, and the stench of copper is unbearable. We are the Qing Empire, with a vast territory and abundant resources. How can we talk about money with small vassal countries? Education must be passed down, and Confucius never taught it.
You?"
Guo Baochang showed the demeanor of a gentleman. A big country should spend money to show its strength, let other countries come to celebrate, learn the Qing culture, enslave the surrounding countries culturally, and let the dependent countries depend on the Qing Dynasty. Then they can sincerely convert to the Qing Dynasty.
.
Li Guolou shook his head desperately and sighed: "Lao Guo, I'm not telling you, the times have changed, and there is no time for nonsense. People have removed all the Chinese characters, which is a manifestation of alienation. Who is willing to give up vested interests and return to his hometown?
Are you willing? Can Dong Zhiyuan get it back through negotiation? Don't you?
You should mislead people, thinking that if the Celestial Empire farts, they will take it for granted. Just look at the people's rebellion and you will know that they hold grudges in their bones, and a hundred years of education will be of no use. You can only rely on absolute strength, and there are people
Ding Pu, you can’t say this, you know what to do.”
Guo Baochang was also shaking his head desperately. He had Hui people under his command. He knew what he knew and did it even if he didn't say it. He turned and walked towards the military tent. A new military meeting was waiting for them. New problems would arise tomorrow.
