The Xinwu Army carried a transmitter with the army. It was quite large and weighed more than 200 kilograms. The transmitter used dry batteries, so it could not be exposed to rain. It was very delicate and was often easily damaged in bumps. The telegraph operator put the transmitter away as soon as it was repaired. Zheng Hengdan was the first to read a telegram and rushed to send it to Li Guolou.
This time, ten mosquito boats transferred by Li Guolou have entered the waters of Weishan Lake. Because the draft of the boats exceeds three meters, they cannot dock at the dock in the Xinwu Army Defense Area. Eighteen mosquito boats have anchored and parked on the main channel, waiting for Li Guolou. military orders
Zheng Hengdan looked at this strange message and felt a little confused. Li Guolou still needed to explain the unclear contents.
Commander-in-Chief Li received:
Mr. Silver Snake prays for blessings from auspicious stars and a safe journey. The eighteen mosquito ships of the Beiyang Navy arrive at the designated waters smoothly. Quickly send people to contact and predict whether the spring rain will come. It will not be easy to send troops. After seven days, favorable winds, sunshine, and Xiangxinmao will bless me. I will also start the battle and win a great victory [
Commander:Hannagan
The general content of Zheng Hengdan's telegram is understandable. This shows that the telegram was not encrypted. The command of the eighteen mosquito ships was in the hands of the Prussian Hannagan.
Hannagan was a distant relative of the Prussian Emperor Wilhelm I. He served as a captain in the Prussian Army and was very capable. He was also a senior engineer who could repair various types of steam engines. The Weihaiwei Fort was designed by him personally. It can be said that he was both civil and military.
Hannagan had the title of relative of the Prussian Emperor and prospered in the Qing Dynasty. Li Hongzhang trusted Hannagan very much. He served as a military instructor at Weihaiwei and served as Li Hongzhang's adjutant. Hannagan was responsible for the design and construction of Lushun Military Port, Dalian Military Port, and Weihaiwei Fort. The Krupp cannon imported by the Qing Dynasty had to be contacted through Hannagan. He was also the agent of the Krupp Cannon Arsenal in the Qing Dynasty.
Zhu Hongdeng slowly saw Li Guolou walking into the pavilion and without any explanation handed the garlic-rolled pancake to Li Guolou and said: "Li Zhentai, please eat mine."
Zhu Hongdeng's words were a little ambiguous, making people think a lot. In the darkness, He Fengyu let out a "crooked" laugh, and several Yanzhou soldiers beside him also followed suit.
"Thank you very much, Zhu Hongdeng. Let's hurry up and go after eating." Li Guolou took the cooking cake shyly. Fortunately, it was dark and he could see his face. He didn't want his allies to misunderstand that Zhu Hongdeng and him were innocent. Things that go too far
"I've finished eating." Zhu Hongdeng sat generously next to Li Guolou and glanced at Li Guolou with a pair of phoenix eyes. His heart was pounding. No wonder there are so many women who like Li Guolou. Just sitting like this stupidly makes her successful. Li Guolou was determined to die. Zhu Hongdeng rolled the garlic into the pancake and opened his small cherry mouth and took a bite. It felt like biting Li Guolou's meat. It tasted really good. The lantern hung in the distance. The figure of the person in the pavilion was vague, even if he was sitting on one You can't see the other person's face clearly even on the stone bench.
Zhu Hongdeng suddenly felt that all she was doing was waiting for Li Guolou to sit and eat together like now. Zhu Hongdeng shyly lowered her head and chewed slowly, thinking about whether to confess her love to Li Guolou.
Li Guolou was sitting in a pavilion next to the official road, eating cooking cakes and not daring to look at the red lantern beside him. This sinister woman was not afraid of smoking people to death. Sitting next to him, eating garlic, who would like a woman who eats garlic? Li Guolou made up his mind not to think too much. When the scarlet lamp is the smell of garlic in the air
Shandong people like pasta. The Xinwu Army follows the local customs and eats a kind of baked naan. Shandong people call it cooking pancakes. Sprinkle green onions on top of bread rolls and garlic. The peculiar smell after baking is definitely appetizing. Add garlic to the cooking pancakes. It is nutritious and has bactericidal effect, so that the body functions of soldiers can adapt to the local climate and are suitable for consumption during war. However, after cooling, this pancake is very dry and hard, plus the stimulating taste of onion and garlic, even if you take a mouthful of water and a mouthful of pancake, you will choke accidentally.
Li Guolou, like Geshiha next to him, rolled his eyes while eating, but still took a bite of the cooking cake and drank a sip of cold water. If you don't eat garlic, if others eat garlic, the stench will kill you. The woman next to Li Guolou, Zhu Hongdeng, is not considered a woman, so he behaves recklessly.
Chewing garlic in fear, the officers and soldiers shared the joys and sorrows while fighting in the field. Li Guolou did not pay attention to food and clothing.
Li Guolou drank the water from the kettle carelessly and boldly. After finishing a piece of cake, he drank all the water in the kettle. Li Guolou shook the kettle casually and said, "Haiwa, do you have any water?"
"Li Zhentai, drink from me." This time Zhu Hongdeng was more casual and snatched Li Guolou's kettle and handed Li Guolou a gourd.
"Do you want more?" Haiwa raised the kettle at an inappropriate time, but Li Guolou responded. Haiwa looked meaningfully at Zhu Hongdeng's adoptive father. There are so many women.
"Thank you very much." Li Guolou had a hard time saying that it was because of Zhu Hongdeng's presence that he was so thirsty that he could not bear to drink up a pot of water. It had been more than a month since he had touched a woman. Even if the dominatrix was sitting next to him, he would have a physiological reaction when he took the gourd.
Li Guolou couldn't help but squeezed Zhu Hongdeng's hand. He had sensed Zhu Hongdeng's strange thoughts. Try it to make this life worthwhile.
"I've eaten." Zhu Hongdeng jumped like a spring and blushed like pig liver to escape from Li Guolou's clutches. How could he dare to take advantage of his aunt in full view of everyone? Zhu Hongdeng held on tightly to the military kettle. This was it.
Witness that Li Guolou cannot be ignored
Zhu Hongdeng stayed away from the pavilion and told He Xiangu who was accompanying him to leave first with twenty male guards and ten female guards. She had something to do and left with Li Guolou.
He Xiangu is an expert. She has long seen that Zhu Hongdeng has changed into a person who understands and understands. The twenty heroes who led the Boxer and the ten girls illuminated by the red lamp left their subordinates and were not fools. They secretly snickered and fought.
Li Guolou left the pavilion anxiously and walked to the side of the war horse. When he saw Zhu Hongdeng standing there alone, he immediately approached him and said with a cheeky smile: "Zhu Hongdeng, you are waiting for me."
Zhu Hongdeng whispered: "Well, call me Ping'er from now on."
"Okay, I'll call you Ping'er." Li Guolou fought fire with poison and couldn't smell the garlic smell in Zhu Hongdeng's mouth. This time, he held Zhu Hongdeng with both hands and admired the hazy beauty up close.
In a moment, Li Guolou jumped on his horse and the two of them rode side by side. Everyone could not hear clearly what Li Guolou and Zhu Hongdeng were saying. They just knew that Li Guolou and Zhu Hongdeng were closely related and colluded together, and the volcano was about to erupt.
Lou Xin knew full well that he and Zhu Hongdeng were related.
They are people from different worlds. Zhu Hongdeng will not follow him, nor will he destroy his magic power. Now the two of them just have an ambiguous feeling, acting as if they are separated. They will not miss each other more when they come together. This feeling is good, feeling lost, like being unable to steal, they are a man and a woman.
the highest realm between
It started to rain lightly in the middle of the night. Each Xinwu Army cavalryman brought two collodion raincoats and gave one raincoat to the accompanying people.[
He Fengyu put on his raincoat and asked: "Brother Li Xian, you are really good at predicting things. Zhuge Liang even calculated the rain at night and prepared a set of raincoats for us. I will declare that I will not return them after wearing them."
Li Guolou said with a strange smile: "Brother He, tell you the truth, Mr. White Snake told me about this sudden rain."
Li Guolou said a few words that made people feel incomprehensible. People are so sophisticated and scheming. Everyone was surprised and continued on their way in the rain. Li Guolou and his group of more than 200 people did not meet up with the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy until midnight.
