Li Zhun was the commander of the Xiangying. At the fiercest moment of the battle, he dared to commit suicide and rush to the Japanese fleet. After the war, he was praised by Li Guolou, who respected Li Zhun and the one-armed general Feng Zhaojin as the commanders of the Great Qing Navy. hero.
But behind the scenes, Li Guolou severely criticized Li Zhun. He showed no regard for military discipline, ignored the safety of the war situation, and made arbitrary decisions, which almost made all his efforts go to waste.
Li Zhun was about the same age as Li Guolou, only in his twenties. He was a talented scholar who had returned from studying abroad in Prussia. He was a bit taller than Li Guolou, but he lowered his head in front of Li Guolou and accepted criticism humbly. In his heart What do you think? It’s not something that others can see. He is as cunning as a fox.
Li Guolou shouted arrogantly: "Li Zhun, your personal heroism thoughts are rampant. I think you are unconvinced. I don't have time to talk to you now. Let Ding Richang deal with you in the future and get back to the Xiangying." Write a 10,000-word review.”
"Yes!" Li Zhun finally puffed up his chest, saluted Li Guolou, stepped on his feet and left the Mighty No. Produce. Fujian Governor Ding Richang will regard him as his successor. Only he can be regarded as brave, tenacious, resolute and courageous.
When Li Zhun came to the deck, he heard nothing but complimentary words. The naval officers and soldiers praised his heroic behavior and looked at him with reverence, treating him as a model for the Nanyang Navy. The laughter from Li Zhun's loud voice, In an instant, I completely forgot what Li Guolou said.
Li Guolou heard Li Zhun's laughter in the command room, shook his head and said: "The brat is still so arrogant. If it hadn't been for war, I would have put him in solitary confinement."
Feng Zicai sighed: "Li Zhun is Shen Baozhen's student, he has a great future! Only Ding Futai likes old people like me. From now on, the Nanyang Navy will be dominated by young people."
It was not easy for Li Guolou to intervene in the personnel struggle of the Nanyang Navy. Besides, he was also a young man, so he did not answer Feng Zicai's words. Yanran smiled and said: "When you learn to fight in the war, you must give young people a chance to change their ways. I believe that next Li Zhun would never act so recklessly once, people will learn a lesson."[
Feng Zicai relied on his old skills and replied: "Commander Li, as the saying goes, if I see death at a glance, I am an upright person, so I won't say anything."
"Yeah! I understand Feng Guantai's temper. He's a straight man. I just like to deal with people like you." Li Guolou smiled forcefully and spoke smoothly, making Feng Zicai feel complacent.
Not many people can tolerate the temper of a person like Feng Zicai. He was the commander-in-chief of the Diaoyu Islands naval battle, and he planned the tactical layout, so he should be the biggest hero. But Feng Zicai has already taken the war achievements into his own arms, just like Diaoyu Islands In naval battles, only the first echelon of naval officers and soldiers can be considered heroes. The second echelon and the third echelon are just cleaning up the battlefield. They appear on the battlefield to grab the credit.
No wonder Feng Zicai was ostracized by the officialdom in Guangxi and was impeached by his superiors. Feng Zicai was born for war. Only in troubled times did he have the opportunity to stand out. People in their forties can't do Tai Chi in the officialdom. With Getting along with Feng Zicai was awkward. Although Li Guolou could tolerate Feng Zicai and recognized Feng Zicai's commanding level, he was unwilling to have a close relationship with Feng Zicai. The gap of time was a hurdle that could not be crossed, and the two had no common language.
Li Guolou's bedroom is right next to the communication room. There are five high-power transmitters in the communication room. In addition to sending and receiving telegrams, they are also used to eavesdrop on the Japanese army's telegrams. This is Li Guolou's celestial eye. Everything is like a miracle, all depends on deciphering the Japanese army's secret code.
The core secrets of the communications room are only mastered by the adjutant Zheng Hengdan. There are eighteen telegraph operators in the New Armed Forces Army. They were recruited into the mysterious telegraph team after being selected through layers of selection. All eighteen telegraph operators were awarded the rank of lieutenant. Receive captain's salary. They are isolated from the world and cannot even return home. Even if they retire in the future, they will not be able to return to their hometown. They will serve Li Guolou all their lives. They are the heroes behind the Diaoyu Islands naval battle, but no one knows their merits , the imperial court will not reward them in the future. Read the full text of the online game "Dark Night Haunter".
This is to serve the country without regard for personal rewards. This time when he went to sea to fight, Li Guolou brought ten telegraph operators with him. These ten telegraph operators were his eyes in the sky.
In the small communications room, ten telegraph operators received the commendation order from Li Guolou. They were so excited that they could not contain themselves. They were the first team to receive the commendation order. They were all first-class meritorious service members and collectively had first-class merit. What a glorious event it was, but it was a pity that there was no champagne to celebrate.
Li Guolou shook hands with the ten telegraph operators one by one, asked about their welfare, and ate celebration noodles with everyone. The small communications room was like a warm home, and these ten telegraph operators were all his confidants.
Zheng Hengdan took a sip of longevity noodles, smiled and said: "This time the Japanese army was deceived. The Japanese fleet is trying to ambush our navy outside Keelung Port, and is now heading towards the waters of the Diaoyu Islands. Commander Li, are we going to kill one of them?" Return the carbine."
Li Guolou took a bite of ham sausage and said with a smile: "Adjutant Zheng, don't think of the Japanese army as fools. After they suffered a loss, their first thought was to protect Langqiao Port. They were afraid that we would attack Langqiao Port and lose both sides in the battle. We No fight. Let’s go back to Keelung Port and repair the damaged ships. We have a shipyard in Keelung Port, which allows the navy officers and soldiers to rest and recuperate. I think in the short term, the navy will not be easy to send out to fight, and it will still focus on protecting the waterway.”
Zheng Hengdan frowned and said: "That's right! Telegrams from the Japanese army are flying all over the sky. I think the enemy's military morale has been messed up. But judging from the telegrams we intercepted, why are there only telegrams from the Iwaki and the Rishin? Why is it so late? There is no telegram from the King Kong. Where is the King Kong cruiser hidden? Could it be that the King Kong's wires are silent and want to intercept our fleet?"
Li Guolou smiled calmly and said: "Adjutant Zheng, don't imagine that the enemy is so terrifying. The enemy's cruiser is named King Kong. But at that time, the warships that the United States had eliminated were obsolete warships that were full of diseases. I think the King Kong is still alive." It is being overhauled in Japan. Therefore, from beginning to end, we have not intercepted any telegrams from the Kongo because this ship did not participate in the war at all."
"I think so too. The Japanese only had three cruisers participating in the war, and now there are only two left. They are on par with us, so there is no need to be afraid of them." Wang Han, deputy leader of the telegram team, nodded in approval of Li Guolou's analysis. He is a member of Xinwu The first batch of students in the hall were fellow countrymen of Li Guolou, a native of Hefei, and from the same village as Li Guolou. Of course, Li Guolou first used fellow countrymen with a clean family background, clean history and clean resume, from childhood to seniority, it was clear at a glance. People like Wang Han are Li Guolou's key students.
Zheng Hengdan bit into the ham sausage quickly, and said to himself: "You can't vent your breath through one nostril. What you said is just a possibility. The King Kong will appear on the battlefield at any time, and we have to guard against it."[
Li Guolou replied proudly: "I didn't leave any escape route for myself, so I used up all my family resources at once. But the Japanese are not so bold and always have to leave some room. So according to me, even if the King Kong appears, In Taiwan waters, I am just emboldened. The Japanese army also wants to protect the country. How dare it exhaust all its national strength. The Japanese army is also afraid of losing. I will sit in Taiwan and the Japanese army will never dare to send the King Kong to fight."
"This is also a possibility." Zheng Hengdan did not tell the truth, analyzing the enemy's movements with a strategist's perspective.
Wang Han raised his eyebrows mischievously and said with a smile: "But according to me, the Japanese army is not afraid of the famous Li Guolou, but is afraid of the White Snake Man who can pinch and calculate. Are you right?"
"Of course!" Everyone roared with laughter. For them, it doesn't matter who gets the victory, and giving a halo to a magician is the best cover for their work.
Zheng Hengdan shook his head and sighed: "White Snake is nothing. He is still cheating money when the country is in crisis. The beneficiary of this battle is White Snake. This brat will soon become a millionaire."
Li Guolou nodded slightly and said with a casual smile: "I still made an indelible contribution, which will be recorded in the annals of history. In the future, Mr. Bai Snake will be the national counselor of the Qing Dynasty. The issue of money or not is a trivial matter, a white cloud." View is a gold mine. Everyone's destiny is different. You can only be a hero. In a hundred years, future generations will reverse your case."
Zheng Hengdan put down the big bowl, wiped his mouth, and said: "This is the only way to go. Mr. White Snake is not peaceful. He is jumping up and down, saying that he wants to patrol the navy. I ignored him. He has the guts to fly! Why do you need ships?"
The ten telegraph operators have dedicated their lives to the motherland, and do not remember names or profits. For them, money cannot move their patriotism. Following Li Guolou to conquer the country is the most meaningful thing for Tang Chun. For Bai Shelang If you laugh at a clown like you, who will care how much money White Snake Man has cheated?
Since Li Guolou said that the Qing Dynasty Navy will not go to war in the near future, but will make strategic rest and reorganization, the topic extended to the battle on Taiwan Island. Zheng Hengdan asked: "Commander Li, which force will be used first after landing in Taiwan?"
Li Guolou said: "When fighting on the plains, we use the ever-victorious army. When fighting on the plains, the ever-victorious army is not afraid of any opponent. Browning's commanding ability is better than mine. Although I don't want to admit that the ever-victorious army is stronger than our new armed forces, but the ever-victorious army is always victorious." The army is strong enough to take on the important task. In mountain operations, we should try our best to cooperate with Liu Liu Mazi, and we should use our new armed forces. Even if we are all destroyed, we have to do it ourselves. I am not prepared to leave a way out for myself. I will fight everything I can."
Zheng Heng said worriedly: "But Commander Li, Taiwan Island is full of mountains and jungles. I'm afraid that if we go in, we won't be able to get out. This battle is not easy to fight, and we still have to cooperate with friendly forces." Taiwan Town Chief Soldier Liu Mingdeng already has 10,000 troops, but you still need to deal with this person."
"Trash! Bastard! Liu Mingdeng only knows how to fight the peasant army. When he sees the Japanese, he turns into a eunuch. I wish I could kick his soft ass to pieces and make him a eunuch." Li Guolou was furious and stood up angrily. In the communications room, he yelled at Liu Mingdeng, saying that the corrupt war situation in Taiwan was all the fault of Liu Mingdeng, the commander-in-chief of Taiwan Town.
Li Hongzhang repeatedly ordered Liu Mingdeng to strengthen Taiwan's coastal defense, but he still allowed the Japanese troops to land at Langqiao. Moreover, after the Japanese troops landed, Liu Mingdeng actually knew about it. Instead, a kind-hearted British informed the Prime Minister's Yamen that Langqiao, Taiwan, had been occupied by the Japanese army.
Taiwan was treated as a colony and barbarian wasteland was being reclaimed. This was simply a national humiliation for the Qing Dynasty.
Wu Dating of Taiwan Province and Liu Mingdeng, the commander-in-chief of Taiwan Town, were not kind to Taiwan's ethnic minorities. They did not use restraint policies to treat Taiwan's ethnic minorities well. Instead, they imitated Guangxi's reform and return policy, which made Taiwan's ethnic minority people miserable and full of complaints. This national policy must also be adapted to the current conditions.
, how can we forcibly implement widespread reforms in ethnic minority areas? This will lose the hearts of the people.
The policy of reforming native land and returning it to local people was widely adopted in Taiwan, but it also laid the foundation for disaster. Many chieftains from ethnic minority groups were dissatisfied with Emperor Tongzhi. Their ancestors were vassal kings, and when they came to them, they became chieftains, and they also had to
Let them pay grain and taxes. Most of the inheritance left by their ancestors was destroyed in their hands.
Many ethnic minority chieftains in Taiwan have lost trust in the Qing Dynasty. After all, the Japanese army invaded Taiwan, and there were also human factors involved. Otherwise, where would the Japanese army find a deep-water port? They could easily land in Langqiao. The fact is that there is a large group of traitors working for the Japanese army.
The Japanese army invaded Taiwan, led by members of Taiwan's ethnic minorities.
This guide was American Charles Li Xiande, who turned out to be the U.S. Consul General in Xiamen. The Japanese named Li Xiande a general and called him General Lee. This man was a good communicator. He visited the ethnic minority areas in Taiwan twice.
, became a friend of Taiwan's ethnic minorities and became familiar with Taiwan's topography. It was Li Xiande who helped bridge the gap, which allowed the Japanese army to invade Taiwan. Now the Japanese army also has supporters in Taiwan, and some ethnic minorities who betrayed the Qing Dynasty have defected to the Japanese.
Li Guolou vented his dissatisfaction. He could only scold his colleagues here. When he walked out of this door, he had to defend Liu Mingdeng everywhere and deal with the relationship with Liu Mingdeng. Only in this way could he gain a foothold in Taiwan and clean up Taiwan's corrupt war situation.
Li Guolou was depressed. The Qing army was fighting in Taiwan.
Without "geography" and "people", only Taiwan's ethnic minorities know the topography of this barbaric land. The first thing he did when he arrived on Taiwan Island was to win over people's hearts and minds and win over those ethnic minorities who had betrayed the Qing Dynasty.
Put the overall interests of the country first and let go of the "traitors" who served the Japanese army.
"Commander Li, you are the only one in the world who can take responsibility for Taiwan's affairs. Only you can play this game well." Zheng Hengdan looked at Li Guolou's exaggerated performance. It is not easy to be a national hero. Taiwan is the Qing Dynasty.
It is a game of chess. There will be gains and losses when playing chess. If you want to win,
If you want to win, you have to abandon many chess pieces. The so-called moral concepts must be abandoned on the chessboard. Li Guolou can dance with the devil. He believes that as long as Li Guolou takes action, all the demons and monsters will join him. Li Guolou is courageous,
He also has the ability to make Taiwan reborn from bloodshed.
"Well! Your Majesty, I will keep Fu Xiang's great trust in me in mind and will not let them down." Li Guolou clenched his fists tightly. He had enough confidence to shoulder the important task.
"That's right! Commander Li is short of two people." A big victory made Zheng Hengdan feel a little complacent. He was always a talkative person and specialized in making reactionary remarks, but he accidentally left his mouth unchecked.
Li Guolou glared angrily and shouted: "Shut your mouth, the horse cake is not here, I also have a whip."
"Yes!" Zheng Hengdan jumped up in fright and ran away quickly.
