The next morning, Li Guolou was scolded by Liu Mingchuan. Liu Mingchuan scolded all of Li Guolou's bosses like he was scolding his grandson. It was the first time Li Guolou was lectured in front of Liu Mingchuan and he didn't dare to say a word. He had to swear a poisonous oath to strictly guard military secrets. He vowed not to drink anymore and took his children to Li Guolou. He was so regretful that his intestines turned green. He slapped himself twice and almost knelt in front of Liu Mingchuan.
Liu Mingchuan was unreasonable and unyielding. He unfolded a map of Taiwan and discussed the invasion strategy with Li Guolou. He was a veteran of the army and had careful thinking in mountain warfare, offensive warfare, guerrilla warfare, and cavalry warfare. Even the Hunan Navy and the Taiping Navy were quarrying in the Yangtze River. Liu Mingchuan's plan to land in Taiwan from Mawei Port in Fujian after the opening of the Taiwan Strait to station in the capital of Taiwan Town, Taiwan Prefecture, is a military stronghold, but the defense is slightly weak, but it has to prevent the loss of Taiwan Town. It will lose the hearts and minds of Taiwan's ethnic minorities. It is the cultural exchange center between the Qing government and Taiwan's various ethnic groups.
At this time, Taiwan's various ethnic groups formed associations to respond to the Qing's military and cultural invasion in a united manner. No nation in the world was willing to accept foreign rule. Taiwan's various ethnic minorities also launched armed struggles with the Qing army. The losers could only accept the Han Cultural education. Han culture is brilliant, broad and profound. To put it bluntly, it is ideological slavery that imprisons the independence of all ethnic groups. Through the unremitting efforts of several generations, ethnic minorities will be willing to accept the rule of the Qing Dynasty.
Those mature fans are willing to accept the rule of the Qing Dynasty, just like ordinary people, and are willing to work hard for the Qing Emperor. It is hard to say that they have independence and pay tribute to the Qing Emperor. The nation and the country have a great influence on those students. The difference is that students will never fight for the country and will only fight for the interests of their own nation.
Li Hongzhang's plan to arm the mature people in Taiwan was to arm the ethnic minorities who accepted the rule of the Qing Dynasty. He would adopt a wait-and-see attitude towards the new people. If he directly armed the old people, if there was an uprising of Taiwan's ethnic minorities, the Qing would not be asking for trouble. Therefore, Shen Baozhen Responsible Taiwan's defense must prevent both Japanese invasion and "rebellion" caused by Taiwanese with ulterior motives. Taiwan's ethnic minorities were conquered by foreign forces. Taiwan was incorporated into the Chinese territory. The dynasties that actually controlled it only established local governments at all levels starting from the Kangxi era. "Government" and dispatched garrison [
Zheng Chenggong seized Taiwan from the Dutch to establish an independent kingdom. He split the soil and sealed the king. How can he be the same as the Chinese national hero who opened up new territories? Shi Lang, who regained Taiwan Island, is the real national hero.
Li Hongzhang has made up his mind to completely eradicate the birth problem in Taiwan, immigrate to Taiwan from the coastal areas of Fujian, make the Han people the main ethnic group on Taiwan Island, and solve the problem of popular support once and for all, and build Taiwan into the 14th province of the Qing Dynasty.
Liu Mingchuan asked: "Li Xuezheng, do you think the Japanese have the guts to attack Taiwan?"
Li Guolou replied: "I don't know how many regiments and divisions Japan can form to make a name for themselves. Let's kill the Paiwan tribe of Ryukyu drifters first. Only then can we gather the hearts of the people in Japan and pass the vote of the Japanese parliament. It's a pity to be stationed in Taiwan." Our army is too small, only 2,000 men. Even if we plan carefully, we cannot hold such a large Taiwan coastal defense line. Mr. Liu, when you arrive in Taiwan, you must first hold the strategic location. If the Taiwan government really cannot hold it, retreat. Anping Castle will not tolerate it. If we fail, as long as we hold Luer Port in Penghu, Keelung Port in Taiwan and Anping Castle, we will be in an invincible position. From then on, we can launch a strategic counterattack. The Taiwanese defenders only have this small number of troops. You must not be impulsive. Defending strategically important areas is better than regaining lost ground. It is much more important to fight a battle of mutual destruction. If Liu Mingdeng, the commander-in-chief of Taiwan Town, is hot-headed, he will be troubled. How about he fight?"
Liu Mingchuan stroked his beard and thought for a moment and said: "Liu Mingdeng was born in the martial arts examination class of Zuo Zongtang in the Xianfeng Dingsi year. He was a fierce general in the Chu army. After defeating the Taiping Army Shi Dakai in Jiangxi, he rose up the ranks and fought. It's okay, but this kind of people don't have modern national defense." You cannot compare with me in terms of consciousness and ideology. Mr. Fu asked me to go to Taiwan. I was afraid that one mountain could not tolerate two tigers."
Li Guolou said angrily: "Liu Zhentai, you only have one Mr. Fu Xiang in your eyes, he is simply a bandit."
Liu Mingchuan chuckled and said: "Li Xuezheng, don't pick on other people's wisdom. Even I heard this sentence. You have your backers. I have mine. Everyone is the same."
Li Guolou glanced at him and said, "Fortunately, Mr. Fu Xiang is a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty. You should be more peaceful."
Liu Mingchuan smiled and said: "Li Xuezheng, you should know that I have tested the water. I just didn't pull up the big flag. Look at you, Mr. Fu. If you point your finger, you won't move and hang the seal. It's not my turn to be the pioneer. It's not my turn to be in everyone's heart." You are so loyal that you still write couplets in Guandi Temple, but Lord Guan appears and wants to kill you."
Li Guolou was hit by Liu Mingchuan. The opponent who knows you best waved his hand awkwardly and said: "Liu Zhentai, don't go too far, we still talk about business."
Liu Mingchuan is in a good mood today. In the morning, he scolded Li Guolou so much that they started bickering with each other and ended up as winners. He stopped beating the fallen dog and turned the topic to Taiwan's defense situation.
Li Guolou said: "Taiwan is a tropical rain forest. The climate is very humid and prone to sweating. There are many mosquitoes. I have purchased all the medicines from the military supply department. You must bring them all. Gunpowder is very easy to get wet." If the pipes are rusty, it will be a problem. I purchased 4,000 pieces of collodion from the British Concession. This collodion has first-class waterproof performance and can be used to prevent rain and moisture. Logistics support has become even more powerful because of collodion. All the rain gear of the New Armed Forces has been replaced by collodion. rain gear"
"Oh, there are new technological gadgets. I'm going to see what collodion rain gear is." Liu Mingchuan walked to the military supplies office to see the medical items and the magical collodion rain gear that Li Guolou brought from the Tianjin Concession.
Collodion was the predecessor of plastic in later generations. At this time, it was not as thin and light-transparent as later generations, but it was already a very remarkable invention. Foreigners used collodion to make bowling balls and billiard balls. At that time, collodion was a high-tech product and the Qing Dynasty was unable to imitate it. Collodion rain gear has not become popular among the people, and ordinary people cannot afford this exotic product.
Liu Mingchuan put on a black collodion rain gear and opened his arms like a chimpanzee.
Quartermaster Hongdu said with a smile: "General Liu is so majestic. He looks like a black ghost and can scare away all living creatures."
Liu Mingchuan picked up a piece of collodion rain gear and said, "Li Xuezheng put it on and let me take a look."
Li Guolou put on his collodion rain gear with a smile and said: "We are the Black Wind duo and knocking on the door in the middle of the night is enough to make people go to see the King of Hell."
"Yeah, it's good, I don't have to worry about rain. It's much lighter than the raincoat. Li Xuezheng will discuss something with you. You can skip the injection. It's voluntary." Liu Mingchuan accepted the military supplies brought by Li Guolou but didn't want to take the vaccination [
"No, everyone needs to take this vaccination. The doctor who specializes in preventing dysentery will be in Liuzhentai at noon. You have to lead by example. I will let the foreign girl give you the injection to satisfy your eyesight." Li Guolou said firmly with a straight face.
"Li Xuezheng, who are you trying to fool?" Liu Mingchuan looked coldly at Li Guolou and looked for Western doctors to vaccinate the new armed forces. Li Guolou couldn't figure it out.
Hongdu said with a playful smile: "It's the same. Grandma is also a foreign girl. Liu Zhentai always has an eye-catching grandma."
Li Guolou said solemnly: "Liu Zhentai, don't be a sissy, you are afraid of death. This is a military order. You have to thank me for considering so many things for you. This is the same as getting chickenpox. Don't make a fuss."
Liu Mingchuan grunted: "Then I want a male doctor to give me an injection, and I don't want to show my butt to my grandma."
Li Guolou laughed and said: "Well, that's right. Take a step back and the sky will be brighter. Liu Zhentai wishes you a bright future."
Liu Mingchuan glared and said angrily: "Li Xuezheng, if you close your mouth, I will slap you to death with a brick."
"Yes." Li Guolou held out his chest and sucked his belly and gave a military salute. He didn't dare to speak or move randomly. He had just made a mistake and needed to learn the lesson of being mean-mouthed.
At noon, more than a dozen carriages carried a group of foreign doctors to Yelia, the headquarters of Xinwutang. As the director of Yelia Charity Hospital, they visited the Xinwu Army.
Li Guolou acted calmly and elegantly in front of many officers and helped Yelia off the carriage, which won waves of applause.
Yelia waved the gloves in her hand very gracefully to greet those who greeted her. Her demeanor was jaw-dropping. Li Guolou’s beloved wife was indeed a golden flower in the diplomatic field. Every move she made was so graceful.
Liu Mingchuan leaned over and kissed Yelia's hand and said: "Mrs. Yelia, our New Armed Forces Army visited, and the work is really an honor for all our New Armed Forces troops."
Yelia bent her knees slightly and smiled: "Liu Zhentai is too polite, so I'll trouble you to show me around today."
"Haha, it's an honor to invite you." Liu Mingchuan made the invitation gesture very skillfully. He has learned how to deal with foreigners.
More than forty male and female doctors walked into the Xinwu Hall amid majestic orchestral music and curiously looked at the facilities in the military academy. Li Guolou arranged for them to have a working lunch of milk, bread, beef, smoked sausage, and borscht.
Yelia was very satisfied with the ceremony and reception arranged by Li Guolou and had lunch with everyone. She was picky about the dishes for the sake of Li Guolou's face. Yelia was still a hard-working person and the food she didn't like fell onto Li Guolou's plate.
middle
"Yes, the milk is pretty good and fresh. The smoked sausage tastes very authentic." Yelia only commented on these two delicacies. It was worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. After eating it, it was half full.
When Li Guolou saw that Yelia had a full-time cook, he felt relieved that if they had a good meal in the evening, Yelia would not eat him.
The foreign doctors performed their duties conscientiously and started working after lunch. They changed into work clothes and took out their medical equipment to vaccinate more than 2,000 new armed forces officers and soldiers.
People at this time were still very feudal. Female doctors (nurses who give injections) can only see their facial features and even their hair is wrapped in a hat. Apart from skin color and eyes, the biggest difference between foreign girls and Qing women is the corset.
Female doctors wear bras and look smooth. Women in the Qing Dynasty tied their breasts with cloth strips, and flat chests were the standard for women from good families. Of course, foreign female doctors are very knowledgeable.
Those New Armed Forces soldiers stared at the female doctor's towering breasts and salivated. Their expressions were so weird. Of course, the soldiers who lined up in front of the female doctor for injections were in a long queue. Somewhat embarrassed, they loosened their belts and prepared to get a shot in their buttocks. The men
There are only a handful of soldiers who give injections in front of the doctor. Liu Mingchuan and Li Guolou are the officers who look for male doctors for injections. Most of them look for male doctors for injections.
The soldiers who had received the injection happily blew the silver coins back to the camp to rest after receiving the two yuan reward for the New Year. Some of the soldiers who had received the injection fainted and even cried for their fathers and mothers. There were four or five people who forcibly held down the soldiers who received the injection. There were also many soldiers who received the injection [
Some soldiers vomited and even vomited bile after the injection, as if they were about to die. An afternoon of injections caused a lot of trouble.
Those twenty Shaolin monks were even more ridiculous. The doctor told them to relax their muscles and stop being so nervous. The Shaolin monks just couldn't do it. The doctor broke several needles and inserted them into their butts.
Liu Mingchuan couldn’t laugh or cry. So many old men were afraid of injections. Some soldiers even ignored military orders and hid outside. The supervisory team forcibly gave them injections, which brought shame to the New Armed Forces.
Li Guolou also thought that military orders could not be subdued by soldiers. A needle in the hand of a foreign doctor made so many people frightened. People who had fought in the war were actually crying. The popularity of this new thing was incomprehensible and could only be enforced with high-pressure means.
"Liu Zhentai, don't cry and look sad. You should feel lucky that I have solved all the most difficult things for you. If the enemy has thought carefully, he will die in the jungle." Li Guolou comforted himself and did not reprimand the soldiers who violated military orders. Injection is just a shame in the eyes of these bumpkin. As terrifying as a scourge
"Li Xuezheng, you are such a great person, and that person named Shen will also arrange it. You are just one step ahead." How could Liu Mingchuan accept Li Guolou's love and make the New Armed Forces go crazy and make foreigners laugh?
"Humph, I don't believe that someone named Shen would buy collodion rain gear for you. The medicines I gave you are all aged Chinese herbal medicines with a shelf life. There's only one brand. I'm too lazy to mention it to you. Look at the medicine I prepared for you. Mr. Fu Xiang, who both speaks foreign languages, has thought so carefully about it," Li Guolou retorted.
"The rebate must be quite large. Please discipline yourself, Mr. Xuezheng." Liu Mingchuan bites Lu Dongbin and belittles Li Guolou for not recognizing a good person. As soon as he learns these things, he will be able to make purchases by himself without relying on Li Guolou's help.
"We can't talk to each other if I don't tell you." Li Guolou said angrily and said that he had gone to see Yelia, but his wife was considerate and beautiful.
Jelia looked at the long queue in the dining hall with a smile. She kept her chest high and was not afraid of the cold. The snow fox fur coat was always in the hand of the maid.
Li Guolou felt that the legendary women of the Qing Dynasty who brought honor to him wherever Yelia went, were all in his home.
