Chapter 196 The Shadow of the Stars 24

[196] Xingheying shakes the three armies (24)

At the Tianjin Governor's Mansion, Li Hongzhang gently pushed open the heavy black and purple window lattice and looked at the blooming pomegranate trees in the courtyard. He was speechless for a long time.

The study in the backyard is Li Hongzhang's favorite place. All the decorations and even directions are arranged according to the study of his hometown in Hefei. On the desk of the room, there is an official letter just sent from Beijing with a fast horse with the seal of the military aircraft.

Li Jingfang, Li Jingshu and Li Jingxuan stood silently in the study, all with solemn faces.

"Dad, if you really want to meet Brother Yao, take me with you." Li Jingxuan suddenly couldn't hold his breath and spoke.

"Three sisters are messing around! Yao Fan is the first thief in the world today! How dangerous his camp is. How can you get it? Also, why do you still call him Brother Yao? If it is heard by others, it will be a trouble!" Li Jingfang disciplined his sister.

" shut up! With me, it's not your turn to be the head of the house! If your sister is in trouble, what does she want you, a brother, to do?" Li Hongzhang suddenly reprimanded.

Li Jingfang lowered his head in panic and said, "What my father taught me is what I learned."

Li Hongzhang was sad in his heart and no longer looked at the pomegranate tree. He looked up at the blue sky in the distance and sighed, "The literature and martial arts of the Man Dynasty were untied, and no one was a man..."

Li Jingshu said angrily angrily: "My father is a father, and his meritorious horse. If today's court treats you so coldly and thinly, he went to the Longtan tiger's den under the name of the first assistant. Those dragon insects are shameless and dare to write something on the Huanghuang official letter, "There is a daughter, the blessing of the court."

Shameless!!! Shameless!!! Shameless!!!"

Later, Li Jingshu had gritted his teeth and couldn't go on.

Li Hongzhang said sadly, "In my life, I have been a young imperial examination, a young man who was a horse, a middle-aged feudal territory, and in my later years, I have been doing foreign affairs all the way. Now my lifelong career has been swept away. What a sad man!"

Li Jingshu said angrily, "Dad! Don't go to Cangzhou! Just push the disease! Let those well-dressed beasts make noise!"

Li Hongzhang shook his head gently and said desolately, "Yao Fan said that I was a framer. Although the shabby house in the Qing Dynasty was bright and beautiful, the shabby house was finally a shabby house and could not withstand the wind and rain. He also said that the Qing court was 'a little demon in the temple, with more than eight shallow water', saying that I am a shallow boat and difficult to walk, but if I dare to get off the boat, I will be bitten to death by a group of bastards... Hahahaha... This son is really a genius! If my son-in-law is like this, what can I ask for?"

Li Jingxuan listened to Li Hongzhang's words, and his body was shocked and almost fell down.

Li Jingshu was dumbfounded: "Dad, are you really going? Do you really want to give your sister to Yao Fan?

Li Jingfang said urgently, "Dad, Yao Fan is murderous and extremely vicious. Wherever he passed, the gentry was frightened and fled when he heard the wind. If you give his sister to him, won't our Li family make the world look sideways?"

Li Hongzhang pulled his eyelids and said, "You all go out, and the chrysanthemum couplet will stay."

Li Jingfang and Li Jingshu had to withdraw from the study, leaving Li Jingxuan standing in front of Li Hongzhang in a daze.

Li Hongzhang whispered, "Ju coupling, what kind of person do you think Yao Zaofan is?"

Li Jingxuan looked at Li Hongzhang with a pair of watery big eyes, but her eyes seemed to pass through her father's body and threw herself into the blue sky in the distance. She recited affectionately: "New China! It is a ship that stands on the coast and looks at the pointed head of the mast in the sea. It stands on the top of the mountain and looks at the shining sun in the east. It is a mature baby who is restless in her mother's womb.

Li Hongzhang trembled and said sadly, "You are still communicating with Yao Fan."

Li Jingxuan lowered his head slightly and said, "Father, the ** of the people's revolution has arrived, which is not diverted by anyone's will. Women's liberation, national liberation, and the freedom and liberation of the Chinese nation are all like volcanoes that have been suppressed for a long time, and are about to erupt unstoppable in this new era.

The deeper the oppression, the greater the reaction, and the faster it will be. In the future, the reform of the Chinese nation led by Chairman Yao will be more thorough than any other nation in the world! The society of the Chinese nation will be brighter than any other society in the world! The great union of the Chinese nation will succeed before any nation in any region of the world.

Li Hongzhang sighed: "You are only ten years old this year, but the books you have read are no less than your two brothers. You secretly corresponded with Yao Fan through the American Foreign Travel, asked him for questions, and received a lot of books from him. Yao Fan's test words for me and the court, I saw it from his letter to you. What a 'dresser' , what a 'big boat and shallow water', what a 'temple little demon wind, shallow water more than eight kings'!

I ask you, what kind of person do you think Yao Fan is?

Li Jingxuan straightened up and said in a trembling voice, "It's all over. Count the romantic figures, still look at today!"

Li Hongzhang stood still and said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect that I would suppress it, but there was a small thief in my family. Yao Fan wrote the other day and asked you to tell me about the enlightened gentry policy implemented by the Chinese Socialist Labor Party?

Li Jingxuan trembled and said, "Didn't my father already know from the newspaper? Why should I say it again?"

Li Hongzhang said, "Don't you want to persuade me?"

Li Jingxuan said, "Can you persuade my father's character?"

Li Hongzhang said with a sad face, "Go down and go to Cangzhou with me tomorrow."

............

Yao Fan is now looking at the statistical war report in the general headquarters of Cangzhou and sighed, "Now our army's bullet consumption is too much! In a berth battle, an average regiment shot 40,000 bullets!"

Li Jun was worried and said, "It's really consumed. At present, our bullets are all imported from overseas by the chairman. Such consumption is really amazing. I think the next article will criticize the troops that consume more bullets."

Yao Fan remembered in history* that a regiment was criticized for wasting bullets because it killed 7,000 bullets in the Hundred Regiment War. Two consecutive Japanese squadrons ambush more than 400 bullets, ran back to the battlefield a few days later and carefully searched for bullet shells... Then he remembered the 1 billion bullets he had just purchased. ......

"Now that the machine gun is equipped in every row, the bullet consumption is indispensable. Don't criticize it. Just click to remind everyone not to waste bullets and improve the hit rate of aiming and shooting as much as possible."

"Yes!"

As he spoke, a correspondent rushed into the temporary headquarters, stood up to salute and gasped, "Report to the chairman! The Qing government sent someone to negotiate!"

Yao Fan said in surprise, "This is all about to come to the city, and they will negotiate."

Li Hainiu also rushed in from the outside at this time: "Chairman, have you heard? The Qing government has come to negotiate! What a large group of people came to Cangzhou City under the leadership of our army's frontline troops.

Zhou Fourth said nervously, "Are you going to delay the time? The Qing army has been disabled by us. It needs time to regroup and dispatch troops. Chairman, let's not be fooled by them!"

Yao Fan smiled and said, "If you come, you will be a guest. Let's treat each other with courtesy. We can't let others talk. But politeness is politeness, and our principles should be clear to them and let them choose for themselves. I think we need to talk about it at the same time, so that we can talk about the name.

Li Hainiu heard Yao Fan say this and smiled assuredly, "Yes, we cleaned up Beijing and Tianjin in the middle of the conversation, haha."

Yao Fan nodded and said, "Let's study how to hold this meeting now."

............

Li Hongzhang and Yixin did not take a sedan chair. They took a carriage, took more than a dozen soldiers and two bookstores, and followed the escort company sent by Hu Guangting's third division to Cangzhou City.

According to the arrangement of Zhang Erpao, the political commissar of the Third Division, this one has been singing all the way, singing "Three * Laws and Eight Attentions", "The Military Song of the Chinese People's Revolutionary Army", "Unity is Power", "International Song", "Return from Target Shooting" and "One Two Three Four Songs"...

Yixin and his book office rode in a big saddle car and heard the shock in the carriage.

"This song was all made by Yao Fan?"

"The prince, it should be him. Who can do this tune in the Qing Dynasty?"

Yixin fell silent and continued to listen to these revolutionary songs over and over again. The solid tunes and lyrics can be remembered as long as they listen to them once.

And Li Hongzhang was most concerned about observing Yao Fan's soldiers along the way. After seeing the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle with his own eyes, Li Hongzhang was even more surprised. Such a short rifle can actually hit far. I heard that it is still a Lianzhu fast gun. The workmanship of this gun is extremely exquisite and looks better than all kinds of rifles that Li Hongzhang has seen. Complicated. The rifle is folded under the muzzle, not other rifles of this era, specially placed in a leather case and hung on the waist.

The simple green military uniform and majestic armed belt of the revolutionary army are also very eye-catching. Li Hongzhang felt that this was much more decent than the cloth belt in the waist of the Qing army, and the bulging ammunition carrying tools and military kettle, and even the red star hat and red flag collar made Li Hongzhang feel fresh and beautiful. As for the rubber shoes on his feet and leggings on his legs, Li Hongzhang did not think so. He felt that the cloth shoes and leggings of the Qing army were not inferior to the revolutionary army.

The songs along the way were heard in Li Hongzhang's ears, which also aroused his deep thought. This kind of thinking quickly fell into confusion. Li Hongzhang said to himself gently, "Does Yao Fan use songs to train soldiers? I didn't expect that at least this method can greatly boost morale. Look at the ordinary soldiers in his army to be arrogant. Ang, maybe it's because of these songs..."

The carriage came to Cangzhou City and saw the gate open, so the negotiation team of the Qing government immediately went directly into the city and came to the Cangzhou government office.

Yao Fan had heard that Li Hongzhang and Yixin had come, so he went out to greet the government office in person.

"Mr. Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been recently?"

"Just do your best. I can still say these four words."

"This must be Mr. Yixin. He has known him for a long time."

Yixin heard Yao Fan's words, neither an adult nor a prince, nor an official position, and her heart was depressed. But since she came to seek peace, people were naturally three points shorter under the eaves, so she could only say falsely, "I have also admired Mr. Yao's name for a long time."

Yao Fan smiled and stretched out his hand to Li Hongzhang. Li Hongzhang was stunned and remembered the handshake of foreigners. He said angrily, "Zhuangfan, you and I are all Chinese. Why do you use this foreigner etiquette? Don't you think you have lost your identity?"

Yao Fan was not annoyed and laughed and said, "The old etiquette is about superiority and inferiority, but we revolutionaries do not talk about superiority and inferiority, so we use new etiquette to advocate equality for everyone. Friends and friends, comrades and comrades all use handshakes to show friendship."

When Li Hongzhang heard the words, he stretched out his hand thoughtfully and shook it with Yao Fan. He felt that Yao Fan's hand was dry, warm and powerful.

At this time, Li Jingxuan jumped down from a saddle car behind him.

After seeing Li Jingxuan, Yao Fan greeted him with a smile and stretched out his hand and said kindly, "Ah? Why are you a little girl? Why don't you study hard in Tianjin and come to Cangzhou? There is a war here. You shouldn't have come."

Li Jingxuan blushed, stretched out his hand and quickly shook Yao Fan, and then took it back as if he had touched an electric shock: "I came here with my father."

Yao Fanxin said, isn't this nonsense? "Oh," he said perfunctorily and turned to Yixin.

Yixin saw that Yao Fan actually valued Li Hongzhang, a little big daughter. She felt that the trip seemed to be really a little interesting. She immediately reached out and shook hands with Yao Fan: "Equal and friendly, I agree. Lord Li and I conveyed the friendship of the court to Mr. Yao. However, they treat each other equally and don't have to be courteous.
