General Mischenko on the side had been listening carefully to Zhang Laifu's translation, and after hearing this, he hurriedly reminded Madridorf: "I think your Far Eastern Staff had better verify this news as soon as possible, our cavalry is ready, but if the Japanese army really deploys a large number of Makqin heavy machine guns and crazy and depraved weapons like Hatch Chase on the front line, we must adjust our tactics, the Cossack men are fierce, but we don't need to make senseless sacrifices." ”

Senior Colonel Madrid Daoff nodded more and more cautiously in agreement, and after thinking for a while, he continued to say to He Tianci: "Lord He, this is our second cooperation, in my opinion, you are really a smart Manchu official, you hate Japan, you like to cooperate with us Russians, we are the same, I want to follow our Russian Empire, your future is bright." ”

Although He Tianci was extremely tired of Madrid Daof's words, how could he be with you beasts if he was not cornered, but He Tianci tried his best to suppress his emotions, pretending to be happy and nodding to continue.

Madridolph continued: "I think we will be the most loyal friends, so let's talk about your requirements in a proper way! Considering that General Mischenko is in need of a large number of men for logistics and fortifications, as well as for the transfer of camps, I personally hope that you can recruit 5,000 fighters first, of course, mainly cavalry, to assist General Mischenko in completing his work. The pay must be very good, we can pay you according to the price of the Russian army's military pay and Russian labor, as for how much you send out, it is completely your personal business, you only need to be able to complete the work. ”

He Tianci was most concerned about the ownership of the command, so he asked rhetorically: "Your Excellency Colonel, I think you have ignored the point of what I said, my proposal is still the same as before, I ask for independent command, I have the right to make decisions about my troops, a more independent establishment, and I ask for a more formal equipment, the General Staff of the Far Eastern Army will include us in the formal supply and combat plan, and we also want to get a pass to enter and exit Mukden and all the areas occupied by the Russian army, which is convenient for us to work better." ”

Madridolph didn't answer, but rhythmically tapped his index finger on the table.

He Tianci saw that Madrid Daoff did not answer, and re-explained: "I think the colonel does not believe in my strength, at the moment I don't know when the Russian army will be officially transferred from the locality, if there is enough time, I think it should be no problem for us to recruit soldiers in the Xinmin Zhen'an area, if the time is too late, I can lead the team to follow the Russian army first, and leave some people on the spot in the area of Jinzhou Zhen'an, Xinmin, Fengtian to continue to recruit follow-up manpower."

However, if the war will continue for a long time, even more than a year, after a while, I will set up a recruit training camp in Mukden on the spot, concentrate on training new recruits, and quickly replenish the combat personnel and engineer team. This is also the requirement that I have always emphasized independent command. ”

Colonel Madrid Dorf quietly raised his eyes, and even doubted his ears a little, he could hardly believe that a Manchu Kwantung could have such a long-term preparation and plan.

He thought for a moment and then said sharply: "Of course this is possible, but I have a request, considering that these long-term factors are possible, I think our Far Eastern Army Staff must provide an independent staff team for your troops, and select suitable Russian officers as instructors and staff officers." ”

He Tianci smiled in his heart, this is just like the "Twenty-one Articles" in Japan's vain attempt to destroy China, appointing Japanese officers as advisers and instructors of the Chinese army, just to better monitor his own troops, but He Tianci considered that his troops just lack professional training talents, if Russian military officers come to train their own troops, they will learn this set of Russian training programs, and they can also open military schools in the future, better cultivate military talents, and lay a good foundation for the rise of the country. Later, the so-called Whampoa Military Academy was not also established with the assistance of the Soviet Union, and even some of the instructors came to the Soviet Union, so he must make good use of this opportunity.

Then he made a happy look and said to Colonel Madrid Dódford: "Of course this is no problem, I am very happy, our troops are indeed insufficient in combat effectiveness compared with your army, but I believe that after the training of your army, it should not be a problem to suppress bandits in the northeast."

At this time, without waiting for Madmaddorf to speak, after listening to Zhang Laifu's translation, General Mischenko hurriedly interjected: "There is no doubt that you are a very thoughtful Chinese youth, and the combat effectiveness of your troops is also second to none, and his plan is very good, which is very suitable for my needs. ”

Since General Mischenko insisted on using He Tianci to solve the problem of his own lack of soldiers, Colonel Madriddorf no longer pursued it in detail, and said to He Tianci: "Very good, then let's do this, at least you have a very good plan, and I think we will be able to deal with each other very well." ”

After saying this, he stood up again and added to General Mischinko: "Then so be it, Your Excellency, I have made the necessary explanations for the command and the specific battle plan, if there is any objection, you must go to the Second Army to report and then re-discuss it with General Kaulbas, and General Kaulbas will make full arrangements!" ”

General Mischenko also stood up, shook hands with Colonel Madmaddorf and said: "Okay, I have understood, please Colonel Troublesome to convey my respect to His Excellency Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin, and I promise in the tradition and honor of Cossack men that I will annihilate the Japanese army and complete all the tasks of the Commander-in-Chief of Kuropatkin." ”

Colonel Madridorf stood solemnly in front of General Mischenko, saluted General Mischenko with a solemn expression, and then turned to He Tianci and asked: "I think it is necessary for me to take a formal look at your troops, if everything is fine, I think you will soon have to report here again General Mischenko." ”

When I saw He Tianci today, General Mischinko had a good impression of He Tianci, and he was looking forward to hugging and saying goodbye to He Tianci. Although he is a high Cossack general, but the more troops the better the war is always this kind of broken thing, if He Tianci can have 7,000 cavalry to cooperate with him to fight, of course, it is not the task of Cossack men to engage in dirty work such as fortification construction, it is obviously a good thing, then his Cossack cavalry army can concentrate on dealing with the Japanese army, and the difficult Manchurian bandits should be left to the Chinese to exterminate themselves!

Senior Colonel Madrid Dorf decided to personally see the strength of He Tianci's Patriotic Army, so as to assign tasks to them reasonably, and secondly, to see the strength of the Patriotic Army, otherwise He Tianci is bragging a big blow to himself, isn't this fooling himself? Did you take the equipment of the Russian Empire for nothing?

After sending off General Mischinko, He Tianci arranged for Madmaddorf to live in Liujiabao, and then let Na Zhiwu send the results of today's battle, He Tianci couldn't help but feel heartache after seeing it, the Patriotic Army suffered 829 casualties, and its own troops were seriously attritional, and now there are only more than 2,200 soldiers who can still go to the battlefield, but the Patriotic Army has also gained a lot, this time the Japanese 12 4-pound mountain guns, six Meiji 31 75mm rapid-fire mountain guns, four Hatch Kais machine guns, and 6,000 Golden Hook rifles, but their biggest problem is that these Japanese munitions are temporarily not replenished with shells and bullets.

Early the next morning, He Tianci instructed Hu Wenyong to give each of these brothers who died in battle a funeral fee of 40 silver dollars from the Liujiabao treasury, and those who were seriously injured and could not continue to serve were to divide dozens of acres of land in Liujiabao, and if there was a suitable one, they would be given a daughter-in-law and a pension.

He Tianci doesn't care about this money, as long as his brothers follow him with all his heart and follow him to fight the world, these brothers are their own capital, and there are people with guns in troubled times who are the grass kings, He Tianci knows that this troubled world will soon enter the era of warlord melee, these brothers are the swords that go with their own expeditions, compared to these, this money is nothing.
