C573 Sending Maylor away (1/2)
”Not bad, that's really not bad. This paper is too useful. Like this, my odds of winning increase by two points …” Li Hongzhang couldn't help but nod his head as he stroked his beard.
Maylor saw that Li Hongzhang was satisfied, and also wanted to curry favor from Master Li, even though the one seated opposite him was the Chinese Officer, but who asked him to be Ceng Guofan's teacher? The Han Manipulation was also a huge power, if they could help speak up for him, then his own life would be more likely to be saved.
”Brother Shao Quan …” ”Actually, there's still a flaw in the note that I haven't written down yet. Seeing that Brother Shao Quan is being so loyal, this brother has decided to give it his all …”
”This Xiao Letian is an evil demon from the west. He looks like he's from Great Qing, but deep down, he has the evil scriptures of a foreigner … To deal with this kind of people, you have to use Yin stuff to break it! ”
”In the previous raid, we had prepared countless amounts of dog blood, feces and urine, footcloths, menstrual straps … and throw all this junk together... Hur Hur Hur, guess what? The enemy's defense line was actually broken! ”
”That was the most fruitful assault of all. I, your brother, personally brought my cavalry to the battlefield. The longbow that I inherited from my ancestors has demonstrated its prowess. I leapt over the trench on my horse, and the arrow in my hand shot out …” It's fun, it's fun! ”
Maylor was intoxicated. The only time he had mounted the battlefield was the few times he had flaunted his abilities in his life. It was probably enough for him to bluster for the rest of his life.
Li Hongzhang was stunned, he felt his stomach churning, he did not expect to witness the things that Yi Shan and Yang Fang did, how could they still believe in the Manchu? How many years had passed?
Li Hongzhang could not take it anymore. If he continued to listen, he would puke and quickly reach out to stop his. ”Brother, if this strategy works so well, why didn't we win in the end?”
Maylor didn't feel the slightest bit of shame, as he spread out his hands. I sent our troops to search seven to eight villages, but it's only enough to take a single raid. The demonic power of Xiao Letian is very strong, if Brother Shao Quan wants to defeat him, it would be best if he can, right?
Li Hongzhang was completely speechless. He did not even dare to imagine the beauty of the scene that Maylor had described to him.
What then? Stacked in or out of the camp? What a big pile that was! When Xiao Letian's new army came, they didn't even need to use their horses to explore the road.
Moreover, Hidden Fog Kid had already said that there would be heavy rain in the next ten days. If this pile of white and yellow stuff was poured on by the rain, no one would be able to stand outside the camp.
Ugh … Li Hongzhang felt more and more like vomiting, so he quickly changed the topic. Let's let this matter go for now. If we go to the capital now, we'll be in extreme danger. Do you have any plans? ”
Maylor, who had been kicked with a silver note in her arms, let out a long sigh. ”It can't be that I have to use my knees as a stepping stone and lose my face to lead the way!”
”One intestines, one black heart, one thick skin, one tongue, one pair of seductive bones, one pair of knees, one pair of kowtows, not too many bugs, three smiley faces, the above eight medicinal herbs, all hidden in the shell of the turtle, all used with the heart of a wolf, one dog lung fried into a muddle, consumed with medicine.”
Maylor started to read the most popular joke in the Beijing, but the joke today was about to fall on him.
While it was night, Li Hongzhang sent Maylor away, and watched as the horse disappeared on the official road in the northwest. The Chinese Officer clenched her fists tightly, with an extremely cold look in her eyes.
In his arms, there was a piece of information regarding Maylor that his aides had gathered at the last moment.
”Maylor leads the troops, under his command, the cavalry usually do not have horses, the water army has never been used to water, so during the training, the cavalry would temporarily hire horses, while the sailors would hire fishermen to replace them. ”The warship was nailed with thin wooden planks and old nails. Water leaked from every bullet, and the cannonballs in the cannon were as hard as muffins …”
”To make a fake name on the roster, in order to cope with the press conference, I hastily recruited laborers from the market. Although I have regular military training, I focus on watching the battle and do not pay attention to actual combat. ”How can such an army not be defeated …”
”During this siege, the eight banners of the Beijing Belt were used to select the warriors to serve in the imperial court. It could be said that seventy percent of the warriors had been chosen by him. If the encirclement was defeated, the army of the Beijing Belt would be weakened for ten years …”
Li Hongzhang's Huai Army had inherited the Xiang Army's military system, and the thing that Ceng Guofan valued the most was the construction of his staff group. He spared no effort in searching for talents, and it was only because of this group of heroes that they could defeat the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom step by step, and also be on par with the Manchu dynasty.
Li Hongzhang's aides were also very strong. There were no flashy people here, and those pungent people who only knew how to do eight pieces of paper should be left for Manchu to use. Just by looking at the analysis on Maylor, one could tell how powerful the group of elites were.
The guard beside Li Hongzhang said softly, ”Master, do you really want to help this kind of bastard? Why did you return him the silver? ”
