At the banquet, an officer with good intentions went to Xie Liya, and Bai Lian made a toast. The British woman's beauty was praised by everyone. These officers were literate, understood the handshake etiquette of foreigners, and were quite active in learning Western etiquette. They all went up to Xie Liya.
Shake hands and even ask for a photo.
Xie Liya has long been accustomed to being watched by people. She sat elegantly on a chair and took photos with the standing officers. She looked quite weird, like a husband and wife taking photos.
Li Guolou did not think so, but still maintained his grace, holding a wine glass while chatting and laughing, and frequently toasted to Admiral Yulu.
Admiral Yulu drank too much wine and rolled his tongue and said: "Master Li is so lucky! He has a Persian cat, but the smell of foreigners who drink milk is pungent. I don't know how Master Li can solve it."
Li Guolou laughed and said: "Yujunmen, what's the problem? Just take a bath often and put on perfume."
"Oh... It's just that I'm ignorant. I just don't know how Mr. Li can describe the appearance of a Persian cat, so that we, the rough guys, can see the style of Tan Hwa Lang." Yulu didn't know if he was really drunk or on purpose.
Making fun of Li Guolou, he speaks a little lightly.
Li Guolou was in high spirits. He had a bit of a Western temperament and liked to take his wives and concubines out to show off. Xie Liya was praised, which made him feel quite proud. He got drunk. Shen Ning thought about it and nodded: "Okay.
, Since Yujunmen is so elegant, I will compose a poem and bring you a pen, Xie Liya, Yujunmen likes the British, so you can sing a British song."
"Okay, I will sing a song "Morning" from my hometown. I hope everyone likes it." Xie Liya enjoyed the glory of the stars and the moon. She was in a good mood. She stood up generously and sang in English that others could not understand.
song.
“In the early morning of early spring, I look to the east and see that the day has not yet dawned. I hear the beautiful robins singing in the fields. The south wind is blowing and the green grass is growing. We are the messengers announcing spring.
In the dusk of late autumn, I can hear the lingering song of the robin, the cold wind is howling, and we will see you again with the warmer wind.
At dusk in late autumn, watching the sun set in the west, listening to the lingering singing of robins on the trees, and the cold wind howling, it’s time for us to leave. See you again when the wind warms up..."
The officers were stunned when they heard this, salivating from the corners of their mouths, looking fascinated and obsessed. If they couldn't marry a British girl, it would be a good idea to substitute an Andiyan woman. They were a nation that could sing and dance well, which is why they wanted to marry Li Guolou.
In other words, if you can go to the war-torn Western Xinjiang and make contributions, you will be able to collect gold, silver, jewelry, and beauties from the Western Regions.
After a while, Li Guolou wrote a poem with a stroke of his pen, saying, "The Lady Xie sings and dances in a foreign land:"
The cheongsam is skillfully painted with eyebrows, and the gauze in the cheongsam shows through the forehead.
The front is even and shiny, and the wrinkles on the waist are slowly turning.
His words are elegant and charming, his manners are charming and seductive.
There is also a place where the heart is full of resentment, and the throat can be stretched out to sing the song of looking forward to the husband.
Master Fan Dahui was greatly impressed and applauded: "Master Li, I admire you very much. Your ability to chant the wind and the moon has already surpassed Tan Lao Er's skill. Let's see how those people in the Hanlin Academy evaluate this."
poem.”
Those officers chanting this poem knew that Li Guolou had written a good poem. At first glance, it was a masterpiece of a master of stealing fragrance and jade. It had the charm of Liu Yong's poems in it. No wonder Li Guolou dragged two of them, one after another.
The girl didn't miss the movie, she said she admired her very much, but in her heart, her eyes were filled with jealousy over Li Guolou's charm.
Guan Xunxi's face twitched, and he said with a ferocious smile: "Master Li, if I can go to Western Xinjiang to make contributions, I will fight for wealth and honor. What can I achieve by guarding the fort? Khotan's beautiful jade is the most precious treasure for men. !”
Li Guolou glanced at him and said, "Xun Guandai and Khotan Meiyu don't like bathing either. Can you bear it?"
Guandai Xunxi laughed, waved his hand boldly and said: "As long as Yujunmen can bear it, there is no reason for me to dislike it. The smell of sheep has its own exotic flavor."
The officers in the living room burst out laughing. Admiral Yulu did not blame his subordinates for being rude. The army was full of rough guys like this. If you don't show them off and talk, you are not a soldier.
Yulu's third wife squeezed Li Guolou gently with her buttocks, and then ejected Li Guolou. She took the poem in her hand and said Jiao Didi: "Master Li's handwriting is quite graceful. This poem has been collected by the slave family." , rush to "Jinbaoxuan" tomorrow to pick up paintings to match, do you think it's okay?"
"Okay." Li Guolou walked back to the dinner table quickly. It would be better to drink with the big boss. The terrifying woman abandoned her family and husband for him and committed murder. He even suspected that Xie Yunfang had murdered her husband Wanshou Lu. This mystery, He should never know the answer.
Admiral Yulu nodded approvingly to his third wife. He should blackmail Li Guolou once, help Li Guolou with official duties, and lend him thirty artillery instructors from the Xinwu Hall. Of course, he would also benefit personally. A painting is worth thousands. Two ancient paintings, equal value exchange, and a tacit deal was reached.
Li Guolou was very drunk. He returned to the bedroom with the help of his soldiers and guards. Bai Lian changed his underwear, washed his face, and wiped his body. Bai Lian, who was a maid, had a way of taking care of people. Even if Xie Liya knew how to do it, she wouldn't do it. I'm willing to do this kind of work as a servant.
"Hey, I thought you were good at it?" Xie Liya was a little angry and had no place to vent her anger. Seeing Li Guolou sleeping like a dead pig, she could only hug him and kiss him fiercely, and leaned close to him.
The night was dark, and the cold was getting thick in Dagukou in September. The howling sea wind blew by, and the barking of dogs came from the military camp. The patrolling officers and soldiers, leading the hounds, guarded the maritime borders of the motherland.
"No." Xie Liya half-assed, annoyed that Li Guolou was tearing her pajamas apart, what else was he doing in the middle of the night.
"My dear, do you want it or not?" Li Guolou kept kneading Xie Liya's sensitive parts with both hands, wanting to kiss her little mouth.
"Well... then come on, Bai Lian lights the oil lamp, I want to look at my husband." Xie Liya was aroused and touched Li Guolou's buttocks, feeling throbbing, and her vagina was endless. To the end, she can't live without this man.
"Brother Xiaolou, I want you too." Bai Lian rubbed Li Guolou's face with her soft body.
"Drink is the courage of a hero. I am invincible tonight, hehehehehe." Li Guolou stood proudly and boasted.
Xie Liya gasped: "Xiaolou, I want a son."
Bai Lian said softly: "Brother Xiaolou, I also want a son."
"Hey, little baby." Li Guolou was too busy. He was greedy for beauty. He pressed the most beautiful woman under him and tortured her to his heart's content.
The oil lamp flickers slightly, the dim light reflects on the curtains, the three naked bodies are weirdly twisted, and their sweet voices are covered by the wind. The beautiful picture makes people want to stop...
The next day, the school officers and students of Xinwu Hall were divided into five groups to visit the Dagukou Military Camp. Li Guolou watched various military facilities with great interest.
He was not interested in the Hongyi cannon. This kind of cumbersome cannon could be eliminated. Instead, he looked at the imported small cannon.
The Fran machine uses a spiral iron handle to adjust its angle and has a four-wheel gun mount. It is easy to carry and is the main cannon for the army.
The Tiger Crouching Cannon fires shotguns with a lethality of only forty or fifty steps. It is the last barrier to protect the artillery position.
Compared with iron cannons, brass cannons or bronze cannons require much less cooling time and have the best performance when combined. However, considering the cost, the army's configuration is still dominated by iron cannons.
In the Dagukou military camp, every ten Hongyi cannons are responsible for one cannon, and every ten guns are a basic salvo unit. There are five observers and equipped with gun scopes. The sixty-four Hongyi cannons are divided into two parts. There are two Qianzongs, one Qianzong headquarters, one with 1,000 people, and two Qianzongs responsible for the Hongyi artillery, with a total of 2,000 people.
For the large Folang machine, every five people are responsible for one gun, and there is a general command, and there is a general headquarters. For the medium and small Folang machines, every three people are responsible for one gun, and there is a general command. , including each sentry, there are 200 people in total.
An artillery battalion was set up with a baggage unit, which contained several ammunition trucks, specifically for transporting ammunition, donkeys and horses, and servants. The total number of long-term and accompanying people was nearly 500, half of whom were slaves hired by the officers, which were cheap labor.
There are many artillery apprentices in either the baggage department or the battalion headquarters. They learn various artillery knowledge and practical combat in training camps and artillery battalions. They practice on the training ground for more than a hundred days. These people begin to serve as artillery battalion baggage soldiers and practice transporting heavy weapons. Only those who can carry cannonballs are qualified to serve as artillerymen. If they can't even carry cannonballs, they can also retire. Therefore, the officers and soldiers in Dagukou are all physically strong and dare not slack off in their daily martial arts training.
The measurement of square weapons and the use of round weapons and gun gauges have been actually studied, as well as imported Western goods. The ranges and ammunition consumption at different elevation angles are also recorded in special books. Gunners and gunners must memorize them by heart. This is the difference between upper-level officers and lower-level officers in the assessment of artillery battalion sergeant skills. This is related to income and official rank, so artillerymen are willing to study hard and strive to become excellent gunners.
The art of sighting and aiming of the Hongyi cannon is a secret skill of the military state. The Qing army mainly teaches the Manchu children, and it is not spread secretly among the army. The artillery does not interact with people from other arms. Food, work and rest are arranged in separate lines. In the army He is also the "Prince's Soldier" who is envied by others.
The Dagukou artillery has practiced a lot of live ammunition, constantly corrected mistakes, and has gun scopes and telescopes. The level of artillery operation has reached an extremely high level. It is not uncommon for the artillerymen here to boast that they can hit the target with one shot. There are endless gunners. Skilled gunners rely on visual inspection to hit the target without the help of measuring instruments. Only such gunners are recognized as master gunners here.
The primer cotton bag always leaves unburned residue and soot in the barrel. You need to use a wet mop to clean the barrel. Otherwise, the barrel will overheat, or there will be a little spark, which will cause the gunpowder to spontaneously ignite and cause the iron cannon to cool down for too long. , this problem is a bottleneck in the development of cannons. To fire a cannon like the Hongyi cannon, it is necessary to clean up the residue, soot, and heat dissipation left in the inner hall. It takes three quarters of an hour to fire in one round, otherwise there is a risk of the chamber exploding, and it will also cause the gun to explode. The range of the artillery shells has become shorter, and they cannot hit the locked target.
In this way, we can only work on the medicine bag. As long as the combustion is sufficient, the gun barrel will not be easily overheated, which can greatly speed up the reloading process. Advanced primer cotton cloth bags are made of silk, which can fully burn the primer cotton bag. There will be less residual material in the barrel. The so-called "heart-beating" when the cannon is fired. To train a qualified artilleryman in the army is to feed them with money. The corrupt Qing army was reluctant to fire. The artillerymen in the army It becomes a decoration, and when it comes time to use it, you can't blame them for failing to hit the target.
For the Qing Dynasty, Dagukou was an important town for protecting the royal family. When the emperor in the capital sat on the dragon throne, he would think about whether Dagukou was safe. Therefore, the best Manchu soldiers of the Eight Banners were stationed here. Guan Gong's "loyalty" "Spirit" always persisted. In 1860, when the British and French forces attacked Dagukou, Admiral Shi Rongchun led his troops to defend the fort and fought fiercely with the British army. Most of the patriotic officers and soldiers died heroically for their country. Admiral Shi Rongchun also committed suicide and died for his country. This is known as the first great war in history. During the Battle of Gukou, the Qing garrison here killed all the family members, wives, and children who accompanied the army. The brutality was so brutal that even the British and French allied forces were amazed.
Therefore, Li Guolou wanted to second the artillery officers here. The essence of the Eight Banners soldiers remained in the Dagukou Fort. The soldiers here had a proud history and painful experiences, but they maintained a good combat system. This was not the case in the Qing Dynasty. It is very valuable among the troops stationed in various places.
