Chapter 379 Sun Wukong Can't Escape the Five Fingers of Tathagata Buddha
Li Guolou kept silent, and Li Hongzhang accepted his military power. He was filled with righteous indignation and revealed the shady secrets of the Huai Army. When he saw that Li Hongzhang was angry, he felt guilty and timid and whispered: "Resign!"
Li Hongzhang remained silent, sitting behind the court, looking at the official seals of the governor. Power brings glory to people, and wealth comes one after another. How many people can stick to the belief that they were officials in the first place. The governor of the Huai Army who was visited by the Prussian delegation Biaoying is his model camp, and it has made great military exploits, but it is said so badly by Li Guolou. What should we do next? Do we really want to watch Li Guolou interfere in military affairs and sit idly by? Although Li Guolou said something The group considers themselves Westernizers, but the hidden sinister intentions cannot be hidden from his eyes and ears. The military discipline reform in the New Wutang has given the "Team Supervisor" the power to appoint and remove personnel, and his intentions are to be punished. Li Guolou will never be a respectable person. In an oil-saving lamp, power needs to be checked and balanced. Li Guolou, who is only a fourth-rank official, has too many resources in his hands. It is time for Liu Mingchuan to come out and control Li Guolou, the renegade "fake foreign devil" of the Qing Dynasty.
Li Hongzhang smiled slightly and did not take Li Guolou's words to heart. The soldiers of the Supervisory Biao Battalion were divided into three, six, and nine grades. Different soldiers did different things. The battalion officers only needed to do the daily drills well and make money and smuggle to support their families. Someone has to do it. Li Hongzhang wrote a letter to Liu Mingchuan, asking Liu Mingchuan to go out to work first, and then talk about the official title after he has achieved results.
Li Hongzhang was promoted to an official position and suddenly had money in his pocket, and he immediately started to tremble. He saw Li Guolou busy with the new martial arts hall every day, and secretly stole Li Guolou's new martial arts hall to start a new martial arts hall. Founded the Army Primary School in Zhili Province and chose Yao Village in Dingxing County, Zhili Province. The students were mainly selected from the children of the bannermen garrisoned in various places. After graduating from the Army Primary School, the outstanding students were promoted to the Army Middle School. There were two army middle schools established throughout the Qing Dynasty. The first army middle school was in Qinghe Town, the capital, and the second army middle school was in Nanjing. After graduating from the army middle school, they were organized into an "enlisted team" and then spent half a year in the new martial arts hall at the small station. Life, after rigorous training and assessment, only those who pass the test can be promoted to Weihaiwei Royal Military Academy.
After Li Hongzhang studied Li Guolou's plan for the new martial arts hall, he used a trick to turn the new martial arts hall into an intermediate stage of military rank upgrade. A series of combination punches suppressed Li Guolou's conspiracy to control the army. , couldn’t help but smile proudly to the sky, and said hello repeatedly.
The master next to him, Xu Qian, shook his head and said: "Master Zhongtang, the first and second steps are okay. The third step is to build a Weihaiwei Royal Military Academy. It's too bad. So many eyes in the court are staring at you! As long as Lord Zhongtang, if you present this information, even Prince Gong will doubt you, this is inappropriate."
"Hey!" Li Hongzhang put his hands behind his back, walked back and forth, stared at the memorial in the court, thought about it, and sighed: "Just graduate from the Xinwu Hall, it will be too complicated and not beautiful. A little Li Guolou cannot control Xinwutang, Liu Mingchuan is not a vegetarian."
Master Xu Qian stroked his beard and said: "Master Zhongtang, Li Guolou is a fierce fighter who has practiced boxing. I have scanned the people in the capital's militia and many of them have competed with him in the martial arts gym and they will not lose to anyone. Old people do not rely on their muscles and bones for strength. If Liu Mingchuan commits a crime in the Xinwu Hall, Li Guolou will definitely step on Liu Mingchuan's shoulders and ascend to the throne, causing no benefit at all."
"Hmm...that makes sense! Brats can adapt to the situation. I will talk to Liu Ming about it. Just talk and take advantage. Let's leave things like wrestling to young people." Although Li Hongzhang admired Li Guo very much. building, but for the sake of their own power, they still have to suppress Li Guolou's upward momentum and nip all unstable factors in the bud.
Xinwutang was tampered with by Li Hongzhang into a military academy. Only by dispersing military forces can peace be maintained. In the final analysis, Li Hongzhang was still an old-fashioned Westernizer. Although he also wanted to change, he would never go to war and let the Qing Dynasty accept it like a pregnant woman. The pain of giving birth to a newborn. Changes are based on stability. Li Hongzhang seems to have seen him grabbing Li Guolou's pigtails. Sun Wukong cannot escape the Tathagata's five-finger mountain.
Li Guolou took his master Fan Dahui and left the Governor's Yamen. This was originally the Yamen of the Three Trade Ministers. In front of it was the sea. Dozens of armored ships cruised in the harbor. The export merchant ships hung white sails and loaded and unloaded goods. The porters on their feet shouted the boatman's call.
"There is a tung tree on a high mountain. The ax goes down in two halves. One half goes to Nanjing, and the other half goes to Beijing. In Beijing, cannons are made. In Nanjing, bells are made. The cannons and bells are made. They are ready to attack foreign troops alone. "
Li Guolou and Fan Dahui not only smiled at the dock, but the boatmen sang patriotic songs, and the soldiers standing guard turned a deaf ear. This was the reality of the Qing Empire. The people were full of hatred for foreigners, and the grievances accumulated in their hearts were sung from their mouths. , a widely sung patriotic song that makes workers full of energy.
"Hey! Mr. Li, those poor guys will really use a tung tree to make cannons one day. I heard that Shandong is not peaceful." Fan Dahui has a bad taste of Western culture and has long been reborn. He understands that it is impossible to win with local guns and cannons. The foreign Japanese warships fired cannons.
Li Guolou was thinking of Ding Baozhen, the governor of Shandong, who was a great upright official who served the country and the people. Shandong was cleared back and forth by officers and soldiers due to the rebellion of the Nian Army. Many places were sparsely populated. Now the poor refugees are pouring in, "traveling into Shandong". "When the land was in full swing, the refugees occupied an ownerless land and turned it into their own. The government condoned and acquiesced to this small-scale reclamation. Just because Ding Baozhen was an upright official who made decisions for the people, tens of thousands of refugees were After settling in Shandong, the refugees were of course grateful to Ding Baozhen, which made Ding Baozhen famous all over the world. But the hidden dangers in Shandong were also caused by Ding Baozhen. How many of the so-called unemployed refugees were peaceful?
People? The brave and fierce refugees compete for land with each other, form gangs, and join social organizations. This is just the beginning. There is a god-like figure "Ding Baozhen" sitting on top. Shandong will not be in chaos yet, but it will become how?
Whoever takes over Ding Baozhen's position as governor of Shandong will be unlucky. The things that honest officials sometimes do are the source of chaos. If the poor people are allowed to form gangs and preach and preach, chaos will break out again.
Li Guolou looked at a team of shirtless porters and said: "Master Fan, as an official, you must not be partial, you must enforce the law impartially, but you must not go too far. Singing this kind of song is of no use. It will lead people astray. It's stupid." It's a shame they can think of making cannons." After saying this, Li Guolou shook off his official sleeves angrily and turned around to leave without looking at what was being shipped on the big ship. Originally, he was somewhat interested in the import and export business and wanted to board the big ship for a visit. , now he is only interested in making big money and the Prussian mission.
Fan Dahui followed Li Guolou quickly on tiptoe. Seeing that Li Guolou was in a bad mood, he asked: "Master Li, should we go back to Tianjin or go to the small station?"
Li Guolou thought about it and said: "It's better to keep out of sight and go back to Tianjin."
"Hehe!" Fan Dahui laughed evilly, his smooth round face full of flattery. What good would come from forced demolition? Liu Jie, the former magistrate of Tianjin, in order to make achievements and repay Li Guolou's kindness, he moved the small station in three months.
Half of the town's population was forcibly evicted from their original place of residence, and honest officials could not do such an offending thing.
On the way back to Tianjin, Li Guolou and Fan Dahui discussed the matter of Xie Liya Real Estate Company. He got another good job and now colluded with Minister of the Interior Ronglu to control some of the best real estate construction teams in the Qing Dynasty.
He could also deploy manpower among the craftsmen. He made great contributions to the Tianjin missionary case. The imperial court allocated a total of 300,000 taels of silver to repair Tianjin churches and other facilities, which fell into his hands.
The projects of Liya Real Estate Company, including the Prussian Embassy, were carried out in an orderly manner under his supervision. The normal profit of real estate construction is 30%, which is pure profit. For one engineering project, he earned 100,000 taels of silver. This
This gave him confidence to make the real estate business in the Tianjin Concession prosper again. Grab some outsourced projects from foreigners, and first build up the real estate construction team on hand.
After talking about the real estate company, Li Guolou said: "Master Fan, I give you an order from the New Wutang to bring twelve bodyguards to Hefei to recruit a group of Han students with both physical and academic excellence. Their age is
When you are fourteen or five years old, you are all entitled to public funds. To protect your country and protect your country, people from your hometown are the most reliable. If there are enough people to sign up, as long as they are qualified, accept them all and don't cause any trouble."
Fan Dahui said happily: "Master Li, how many students will be recruited in the first batch?"
Li Guolou said: "It would be best to have 500 students, but I would rather have 200 students start the class after the Spring Festival next year."
Fan Dahui said: "Master Li, we are running classes in the Zhili area. What if the local officials in Anhui find us trouble?"
Li Guolou sneered and said: "You carry out the signs of Li Hongzhang and Liu Mingchuan. With these two great gods protecting you, no official in Anhui dares to make irresponsible remarks."
"Ah! Li Hongzhang and Liu Mingchuan are meddling in the affairs of the new martial arts hall. Then Principal Weng, please don't cause trouble." Since Fan Dahui has become the first master of Li Guolou, he already knows the structure of the court.
"Hey! Principal Weng and the emperor had different opinions. Last time, he was scolded by the emperor because of the imperial edict to renovate the Old Summer Palace. Xu Tong, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, has been rewarded by the emperor and returned to his hometown. After Principal Weng was scolded by the emperor,
, I was still thinking about my past behind closed doors at home. I lost my backer and was plotted by Li Zhongtang.
, No, Liu Mingchuan intervened in Xinwutang's government affairs, and I really became the second in command. God bless Xinwutang, don't let Xinwutang go the same way as "Mingjun". Those Qiu Ba believe in the great god, so
I want you to recruit five hundred naive schoolchildren from your hometown and start brainwashing them first. Do you understand?"
"My subordinate understands!" Fan Dahui touched his chin mischievously. His movements were similar to Li Guolou's. He glanced at Li Guolou with a pair of smart eyes. He had understood the spirit of the officer into his bones and integrated it into his blood.
Li Guolou glanced at him and said: "Master Fan, go back to your hometown and don't disturb the people. That Liu Mingchuan is a ruthless character. If you want to marry, you can only marry one, so be careful. In the future, if you let him become a local official, I can't control it. Just bear with it for a few years."
, good for you."
Fan Dahui rolled his eyes at Li Guolou and said vaguely: "Yes!"
Li Guolou turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the car window. He had stopped worrying. News came from the capital that his grandma Chen Xiangfang was overworked and fainted. It took three days to get up from the bed, and her body has not recovered yet. What is the disease? Let a heroine who has practiced martial arts pass out at such a young age? Chen Xiangfang must have a hidden illness. Li Guolou is no longer in the mood to stay in Tianjin. The changes in the capital made him uneasy. That's why he faced Li Hongzhang , said disrespectful words. The lingering worries suddenly made Li Guolou feel for the first time that life was short, that he had become old, and that the future would not be as brilliant as he imagined.
