The sporadic fighting ended on August 27, and the city of Irapuato was completely occupied by the Qing Protectors, who lost 1,265 killed, 564 seriously wounded, and 2,865 lightly wounded, including the 10th Battalion of Americans, who also suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and even because of the courage of the Americans, the casualty ratio of the 10th Battalion ranked among the top five battalions. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The nickname of the student battalion of the seventh battalion has also changed, it has become the overseas Chinese battalion, all the students have been transferred to the front-line troops, and the soldiers under Xia Ming are all overseas Chinese youths who have come from all over the Americas.

In addition, after this battle, only a quarter of the ammunition prepared by Wang Yongan was left, and he could not control any battle at all, but fortunately, Wang Yongan received a request from the US government at this time, ordering him to stop marching to Mexico City, and the US government would coordinate the Torreón tragedy.

Wang Yongan gave the Americans a step, and also gave himself a step, declaring that he was willing to listen to the mediation of the US government and would not move forward, but he would definitely not give up the city of Irapuato.

The morale of the rebel militia was greatly demoralized, especially in the defense of Irapuato, where the militia had invested between 30,000 and 40,000 troops - because there were more supporting troops and because there were more troops who had fled, so the militia did not know how many reinforcements it had sent.

However, the Qing Protector Army's victory over the Mexican rebel army relieved the Mexican government army, and President Díaz, who was originally at this time in history, had resigned, and Madero became the new president of Mexico, but in the current historical time and space, Madero's leadership ability has been unprecedentedly questioned.

Hu Yarez, the leader of the Eastern People's Army, believes that in dealing with the issue of the Qing Protector Army, Madero can only use force, and he does not understand politics at all, let alone the art of compromise. Juárez believed that Madero was only a qualified rebel, but not a qualified leader, and he held Madero responsible for the defeat of the city of Irapuato.

The civil unrest of the anti-government militia gave the Mexican government army a respite, and also gave the Protector Army a respite.

But soon, Madero sent a representative to choose to have secret contacts with the Protectors, hoping to regain his prestige through negotiations with the Protectors, but the Protectors must not let Madero suffer, let alone let Madero run for president. It was in this awkward situation that Palucia, the former lawyer of Madero and now the secretary general of Madero, came to the city of Irapuato.

Wang Yongan welcomed Madero by leading Palucia to visit the prisoner of war camp, and in this battle of Irapuato, the Overseas Chinese Protector Army killed more than 8,000 Mexican Nationalists and captured 14,497 prisoners, as for the defeated Mexican Nationalist Army, it is not recorded because it cannot be counted, but according to sporadic estimates, it is about 10,000 to 20,000. Since Perez requires all men over the age of 12 in Irapuato to join the Civilian Army, it is difficult to calculate whether they are civilians or soldiers.

Finding that the POWs were very thin, Palucia immediately pointed out: "You should not mistreat our fighters. ”

"They are not your fighters, but our captives, and if the negotiations do not end for a day, then we will all manage them in our own way." Wang Yongan said coldly.

Palusia was speechless, and then inquired that the Chinese had given the more than 13,000 prisoners of war a day only one potato a day under the pretext that they were short of rations. Palucia even saw that General Perez was so thin and shaky that he stepped forward to hold Perez's hand and said, "I will definitely get you out." ”

"Thank you, I'm not bad now, at least I don't have to bother fighting the Chinese." Perez smiled helplessly.

"Did they abuse you?"

Perez shook his head and said: "The Chinese did not abuse me, but their rations are indeed very limited. He blinked, and Palucia suddenly realized that if he wanted to end the negotiations as soon as possible, then the Chinese also wanted to end the negotiations as soon as possible.

When leaving the prisoner of war camp, Wang Yongan specially took him past the hospital of the prisoner of war camp, where several prisoners of war who were working as coolies were carrying the corpses. Plausia hurriedly walked over and asked what was going on, and the coolie prisoners of war said that the dead people were all dying because of their injuries that could not be treated in time, and that about 15 to 50 prisoners of war died every day because of infection, and that if the negotiations were not over, more and more people would die.

Palucia sighed, and followed Wang Yongan to visit the ruined city of Irapuato, and finally Wang Yongan said: "Mr. lawyer, I want to put an end to everything here, we have fought a wrong war at the wrong time, but all this has caused disasters for ordinary people. ”

Palucia also sighed, and had to admit that the People's Army had not thought of any contact with the Protector Army before, but with the fall of the city of Irapuato, the momentum of the People's Army was seriously affected, especially the leader of the Northern People's Army, Madero, actually lost his hometown, which was a huge blow to Madero's political influence.

Madero was in a dilemma, if he returned to the rescue of the city of Irapuato, it would mean that the final siege of Díaz would be declared a failure, and if Madero continued the siege, he would face a bad situation of his own lack of troops and eventually be usurped by Juárez and other leaders of the people's army. I have to admit that Madero and others underestimated the Chinese, which ultimately led to his extreme passivity.

After the tour, Wang Yongan suddenly learned that another group of representatives of the People's Army, the representative of the Eastern People's Army Juarez, had also come to the city of Irapuato, and he immediately said to Plausia: "I think Mr. Lawyer should take a rest first, because I have to receive other partners." ”

"Please." Palucia was amazed, but pretended to be indifferent, and he heard through a prisoner of war who was working as a coolie that Juarez's men had arrived, and that Wang Yongan was accompanying them on a tour of the prisoner of war camp, the prisoner of war hospital, and the city of Irapuato.

"Juarez is really usurping power!" Palucia said angrily, "Now that we have not achieved a national victory, he actually sent people to contact the Chinese!" "But anger is anger, isn't he also a secret representative of Madero, and he is not qualified to accuse others. There's a saying about being a. Zi is still thinking about setting up a memorial arch, and he is talking about people like Palusia.

Wang Yongan is to let them know each other, let them see each other, let them hate each other, and use the contradictions of the Mexicans to achieve the greatest benefits.
