"General Shengjing's Mansion ......," Yang Xingguo couldn't help but muttered to himself. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Then, a fine light flashed from Yang Xingguo's eyes.

Facing Zhou Zhongju, he said confidently: "Second uncle, I'll figure out a way to deal with the students......"

"You immediately lead someone to return the extra grain collected by Lao Maozi to the people...... These people outside the barracks have been waiting for several days, and if the food problem is not solved, there is likely to be a big problem here......"

Two days later, Liang Cheng, the county commander of Anshan County, appeared again in the Shengjing General's Mansion.

This time, the old housekeeper of the General's Mansion not only did not stop him, but instead treated him as a distinguished guest and sent him directly to Zengqi's study.

"Xiaguan Liang Cheng, I've seen ...... adults" Liang Cheng said respectfully after giving Zengqi a big salute.

Zeng Qi waved his hand and said, "Lord Liang, as far as I know, there are still two days left before the day when this official will trade with the Liaodong Army...... You didn't contact the Liaodong Army, but came to the general's mansion of this official, is there something wrong with this......"

Liang Cheng hurriedly shook his head and replied, "No, my lord, there is no problem...... As for the lower official coming here today, it is to solve the problem for you......"

"To solve the problem, in addition to the equipment of the new army, how does this officer know what other problems he needs to solve?" Zeng Qi asked rhetorically with a look of incomprehension.

"Yes, of course there are......" Liang Cheng replied in a firm tone......

"As far as Xia Guan knows, in the past few years, General Shengjing's Mansion has also sent out many foreign students. Now, quite a few students have returned to the General's Palace. However, because they were worried that these students would affect the atmosphere of officialdom, the general's government did not dare to entrust them with important tasks. ”

At this time, the puzzled expression on Zengqi's face became even thicker. Although he didn't understand why Liang Cheng had this question, he still answered very cheerfully, after all, this was already an open secret in the General's Mansion.

"There is nothing wrong with Liang beating people...... There are still more than 30 students who have returned from overseas residence in the General's Mansion...... Because there is no way to release them, all of them stay in the General's Mansion as petty officials such as clerks......"

"Clerical ...... My lord, the imperial court spent so much money for them to stay abroad, and when they came back, they could only be used as clerks, isn't that too much material to be used......

Speaking of this, Liang Cheng didn't care about Zengqi's suddenly ugly face, and continued: "Xiaguan believes that those students who have returned from studying abroad must want to serve the imperial court. Now that they are petty officials like this clerk, they must be very dissatisfied in their hearts......"

"Shut up...... Lord Liang, do you know what you're talking about...... You mean, the official has made the wrong arrangements for these students......" Zeng Qi retorted with a disgruntled face.

Liang Cheng, who had already achieved his goal of angering Liang Cheng, quickly shook his head and replied: "No, my lord, the lower official just thinks that the General's Mansion is really a loss......"

"The expenses of these foreign students are all from the General's Mansion, and each of them has spent at least 1,000 taels of silver from the General's Mansion...... Spend so much money to learn a batch of paperwork, and it is not understood by these students...... The lower official is calling for your lordship......"

At this time, Zeng Qi's face finally looked a lot better.

At the same time, the cunning also gradually figured out that Liang Cheng said so much must be related to these students in the General's Mansion.

So, Zeng Qi said directly to Liang Cheng: "Lord Liang...... Don't go around the bay and say, 'What is the purpose of your coming today...... If it is really beneficial to this official and the general's mansion, this official will definitely agree......"

Liang Cheng nodded and replied, "My lord, is the situation like this...... Yang Xingguo of the Liaodong Army fell in love with these students......"

"What Yang Xingguo means is that you don't even need these students, so it's better to sell these students to the Liaodong Army at a suitable price......"

"Sure enough, it's for these students......" Zeng Qi said with a look of sudden realization.

Then, looking at Liang Cheng, he asked with an interested expression: "Liang beats, what you said is good, these students, except for those who study military affairs...... Others are really not of much use to this official......"

"However, after all, these students are foreign talents cultivated by the General's Mansion with a lot of silver, so they bought it, where do you make the reputation and prestige of this official ......?"

Liang Cheng replied next: "My lord can be said to have sent these students to serve in the Liaodong Army...... In this way, not only will adults not be misunderstood, but they will also be praised by others, saying that you support the Liaodong Army and reuse talents......"

"In addition, Yang Xingguo is willing to ask for twenty students from adults at the price of two thousand taels per person......

Seeing Zengqi nodded thoughtfully, but did not speak.

Liang Cheng continued: "Three thousand taels of silver for one person, sixty thousand taels of silver for twenty students, and another three hundred Mosina rod rifles and fifteen thousand rounds of matching ammunition for you. ”

At this time, Zeng Qi finally spoke......

It was like a merchant who had been in the mall for a long time, and said in a non-negotiable tone: "Sixty thousand taels of silver, five hundred rifles, and twenty-five thousand rounds of ammunition, twenty students from this official......"

"Master Xie...... Xia Guan believes that with these students joining the Liaodong Army, the Liaodong Army will definitely be able to kill more Lao Maozi on the battlefield......" Liang Cheng, who decided to really help the Liaodong Army, quickly answered.

Then, he continued: "Also, my lord, the Liaodong Army wants to see these students in the transaction in two days...... Sixty thousand taels of silver were directly deducted from the one hundred thousand taels of silver traded, and five hundred rifles, and the Liaodong Army would send them along with two thousand rifles......"

In a valley ten miles east of Shengjing, the official road from Anshan County to Shengjing winds directly through the valley.

Before dawn, the Liaodong Army and the 1,000 new troops of the Shengjing General's Mansion entered this valley one after another.

Subsequently, the valley was surrounded by dense soldiers of the two armies.

Maybe it was very curious about the Liaodong Army and Yang Xingguo, or maybe it was the importance of more than two thousand rifles.

As a member of the imperial court, Shengjing General Zengqi actually dressed as an ordinary person and came to the valley in person.

In terms of the Liaodong Army, for the various materials urgently needed by the Liaodong Army, and also for the 20 foreign talents that they urgently need. Commander Yang Xingguo personally led two fully equipped infantry battalions, carrying heavy machine guns and light machine guns, and entered the valley and entered Zengqi's field of vision......

"Sure enough, it's a division of tigers and wolves......" Looking at the Liaodong Army that was getting closer and closer to him a hundred meters away, Zengqi, who had grown up in the army since he was a child, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Soon, Yang Xingguo walked in front of Zengqi.

Although he was reluctant in his heart, Yang Xingguo, who still wore the hat of the regimental training envoy on his head, still pretended to be very respectful and gave a big salute to Zengqi: "Xiaguan Yang Xingguo has seen the ...... of adults."

"Lord Yang, this is the first time I have seen you today, but your Ming official has already heard about it...... What the official didn't expect was that the person who defeated Lao Maozi again and again was so young, which simply surprised the official......"

"You are my Liaodong regimental training, and to a certain extent, it is also under the control of General Shengjing's mansion...... Although the imperial court did not really recognize the Liaodong Army, we all know the reason. Therefore, in the heart of this official, the Liaodong Army is the army of my Qing Dynasty...... From now on, if the Liaodong Army has any difficulties, you can just come to this official......"
