After 17 March, both Japan and Russia suffered heavy casualties, with a total of nearly 120,000 Russian losses and about 70,000 Japanese losses. Although the Russian army was victorious, the entire Second Army base ceased to exist, except for the Cossack cavalry corps of General Mischinko, which was relatively complete. The entire Third Army of the Japanese army was completely annihilated, and the 5th Division of the previous ace army, the 1st Cavalry Brigade and the 3rd Division of Akiyama Yoshiko, were completely annihilated, and the Japanese army suffered a serious setback.

At this time, neither side was able to launch a large-scale battle again, and the Battle of Mukden was basically over. At the same time, neither the Tsarist government nor the Japanese emperor was resigned to the current trend of war, and Tsarist Russia continued to increase troops to the Far East, while pinning its hopes on the 2nd Pacific Fleet, which would be transferred eastward from European waters.

At the same time, the Japanese army also bet on the Japanese naval fleet, expecting Togo Heihachiro, who has the reputation of "Nelson of the East", to lead the navy to defeat the Russian army at sea, and the Japanese army also has a large number of "East Asian rebels" composed of Kwantung bandits in the entire northeast, with more than 10,000 people and extremely wide distribution.

After burying He Wenwu's father, He Tianci led the Patriotic Army to the Laohetuo area of Liaoyang, which happened to be the junction of the Japanese army and the Russian army.

Liaoyang Lao Hetuo, the headquarters of the Second Army of the Russian Army, General Mischinko and Brigadier General Madmaddorf, were anxiously waiting for He Tianci's arrival, because at this time, the Russian army, which had just withdrawn from the battlefield, was exhausted, and was constantly harassed and attacked by the "East Asian Righteous Army" led by Dao Jianyong, and these bandit troops sometimes specialized in sabotaging telephone lines and disrupting the Russian army's transportation.

As soon as He Tianci entered the headquarters, General Mischinko and Brigadier General Madrid Daoff hurriedly invited He Tianci to sit down, and after Madrid Daofu arranged for He Tianci to sit down, he hurriedly said: "Alas, mom, I said big brother, during this time, we have called Dao Jianyong, this little devil is miserable, it, this little devil makes this group of bandits, and he attacks our army without day and night, and he hasn't slept well for several nights, you can give my brother an idea!" ”

He Tianci has not heard this old man of Madrid Astoria speak Northeast dialect for a long time, this Northeast dialect is called a pure one, and then said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you don't have to worry too much, this time the little brother came here to help you solve the problem, but now that the little brother has more and more soldiers, this fund is a little difficult." ”

Madrid Daofu also naturally understands that He Tianci's recent exploits in Liaoxi to suppress bandits, of course, this appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and naturally his own gold bars can't satisfy him, and he found that although He Tianci is doing things under himself, he has been thinking about his own China in his heart, maybe those treasures of China are useful to him.

Only then did I think of the commander of the Arthur Fortress, Stessel, who had a lot of Chinese treasures in his hands that were stolen during the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and now that Stessel had privately signed a surrender agreement with the Japanese army in the Battle of Arthur, and was about to be tried by the tsarist government, his wife was working for Stessel everywhere, trying to bribe the upper echelons and save her husband's life.

Stexel (1848~1915) was known as Anatoly Mikhailovich Stexel. Lieutenant General of the Tsarist Army. Commander-in-chief of the Russian army in the Battle of Arthur Pass. His grandfather was a Swede, and later became a Russian citizen. He was born in Russia. In 1866 he graduated from the Pavlovsk Military School. Entered the Russian Standing Army. Garrisoned in Moscow for 10 years. In 1876 he served as a company commander in the Russo-Turkish War. Later, he was transferred to Vladivostok and promoted to battalion commander and regiment commander. Garrisoned in Heilongjiang. Siberia and other places. In 1899, he served as the commander of the 3rd Brigade of the East Siberian Infantry Brigade, and after the Russian occupation of the brigade, he was sent to Lushun. In 1900, when the Boxer Rebellion broke out in China, he led thousands of Russian troops stationed in Lushun to arrive in Tanggu from the sea road, and on the grounds of suppressing the Boxers, he washed Tianjin in blood until he invaded Beijing, took advantage of the fire and looted, and stole 800,000 taels of silver from the Forbidden City for his own use, including various cultural relics.

In August 1903, Stessel became the commander of the Arthur Fortress. On February 10, 1904, Japan and Russia officially declared war, and Arthur became the forefront of the battle between Japan and Russia. In March of the same year, he was appointed commander of the Kanto Fortress and commanded the operation against Japan in a unified manner.

After thinking about this, Brigadier General Madrid Astoria smiled and said: "This is not a problem, I am fully responsible for the funds of your department, and I have a message, presumably you must be interested, big brother." ”

After He Tianci heard this, he immediately frowned, and the forehead of the king character also fluctuated up and down, and then asked with a puzzled face: "I don't know, what did Your Excellency Brigadier General say this?" ”

Madrid Dorf showed a smug smile, and then said quite confidently: "The former commander of the Arthur Fortress Stessel is about to face the trial of the tsarist government, and he has a large number of treasures looted from your China, and now his wife is selling these treasures cheaply, I think you must be interested in stealing, big brother, right?" ”

He burst out laughing.

When He Tianci heard this, he was shocked, these cultural relics are all of historical and cultural value, and he has to talk about these things no matter what, and he can't help but think of the poor and weak Qing Dynasty, in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, China has lost countless treasures, and even now if you want to study some ancient Chinese history, you have to go abroad to check the information. The shame of the country, I thought of the Twelve Beast Heads incident in the previous paragraph, as of 2013 before I crossed over, the Twelve Beast Heads still have not been completely recovered. In this era, I must fulfill these wishes of the Chinese people.

Although He Tianci was a little excited, he had already practiced the ability to not be surprised by things for such a long time in this chaotic era, and then said calmly: "In fact, there are treasures in my hands that must be interested in seeing your Russian army."

Then he deliberately lowered his voice and said word by word: "His name is Qiao Tiemu." ”

Brigadier General Madrid Daofu on the side of him of course knew that this Qiao Tiemu, the great Japanese monk, was his main opponent in western Liaoning, and he was also the commander-in-chief of the "East Asian Righteous Army", no wonder the leader of the "East Asian Righteous Army" was recently replaced by Dao Jianyong, it turned out that Qiao Tiemu, the Japanese monk, was arrested by He Tianci.

Brigadier General Madrid Daoff was overjoyed when he heard the news, and then said to He Tianci: "I said big brother, you are wrong about this matter, why didn't you inform me earlier, Qiao Tiemu, this big monk, is a big baby pimple." ”
