"I know all of this, so you think the price I asked for was too low in the negotiation just now?" Yang Xingguo asked with a smile. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Commander, no, I didn't mean that, I just ......" Yan Bing explained anxiously.

Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied: "No, you are right, in that situation just now, even if I ask for a higher price, the other party will definitely agree." ”

"One of the reasons why we didn't have it was that our asking price was already high. As for the other reason, it is to pave the way for the negotiations of tomorrow's captives. ”

"Today's transaction, to say direct is a false gain. With a worthless guarantee to exchange for silver, if it is too much, the Japanese army may simply abandon the deal. And tomorrow's negotiations will be different, the thousands of Japanese troops captured by us, who are short of troops, especially those who are short of veterans, will exchange them back no matter how much it costs. ”

"So, tomorrow's negotiations are the real bargain. As for today, let them go for now and let them let their guard down on tomorrow's negotiations. ”

Yan Bing nodded thoughtfully, and then continued to ask, "Then you just said that today's asking price is already very high, right?" As far as I know, one hundred taels is the pension standard of the Liaodong Army! ”

"The standard is good, but people can't match ......," Yang Xingguo replied very cheerfully.

"I just told the Japanese that we have more than 7,000 soldiers who have been killed in battle and seriously wounded to leave the army. In fact, there are less than 2,000 people. Counting the wounded, we earned at least half a million taels of silver. ”

Talking and talking, Yan Bing slowly let go in front of Yang Xingguo. said directly to Yang Xingguo: "Commander, you are too cunning. If you go into business, there must be very few people who will be your opponents. ”

After finishing speaking, Yan Bing realized that what he had just said was inappropriate. His face flushed, and he quickly explained: "Commander, I don't mean anything else, I just think that you are a soldier, and you have such high negotiation skills, which is even worse than me!" ”

Yang Xingguo accepted very happily: "Yes, I am very cunning. If it is not cunning, the Liaodong Army will not continue to grow and develop in the gap between the two great powers of Japan and Russia. “

"That's all for today, and tomorrow you continue to report to Command. There will be negotiations here tomorrow, or you will be my deputy, come over early, I have something to explain to you before the negotiation......"

"Tomorrow's negotiations, you are not just a spectator, you have to participate." Yang Xingguo ordered with a categorical face.

The next day, when Yan Bing reported to Yang Xingguo with a face full of anticipation, Zhou Zhongju happened to be reporting something to him.

As soon as Yan Bing was about to avoid it, he stood aside and waited, Yang Xingguo said: "You also come and listen, this will be useful for negotiations for a while, especially among the Japanese prisoners, the number of ordinary soldiers and officers should be clarified, and each of them is silver." “

Let Yan Bing know the secret of the Liaodong Army leaving Japanese prisoners to form the Japanese army, and Zhou Zhongju did not object.

Last night, Zhou Zhongju, who was particularly concerned about Yang Xingguo's lifelong events, specifically found Yan Bing and asked Yan Bing what he meant.

According to Zhou Zhongju's thoughts, in this situation, as long as he meets Yan Bing's parents, the matter between the two sides will be decided.

Therefore, the current Yan Bing can already be said to be the wife of the quasi-commander of the Liaodong Army, and it is nothing to know some secrets that are not particularly important to the Liaodong Army.

Besides, Zhou Zhongju is also happy to see Zhou Zhongju and Yan Bing doing things together and cultivating more feelings.

Therefore, as soon as Yang Xingguo finished speaking, Zhou Zhongju supported him: "Yes, Minister Yan, come and listen together, this will be useful for your negotiation for a while." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhou Zhongju went back to business and continued to report.

"Commander, after a night's hard work, a total of more than 1,600 Japanese prisoners have been recruited by us, and they are willing to stay in the Liaodong Army to give us their lives."

"In order not to let other Japanese prisoners find out anything, just like we did with Russian prisoners, we put a burst of empty robbery where the prisoners could hear. Tell them that the captives who disappeared were all because when the Liaodong Army was recruiting them, they insulted the Liaodong Army and resisted, and they were shot by us. ”

"To be sure, the Japanese army could not have imagined that the soldiers they had worked so hard to train would be willing to give us their lives!"

Yang Xingguo nodded and ordered: "The old rule, those who are willing to join us will be sent to Liaozhong, handed over to the chief of staff and political commissar for training, and the rest will be sold to the Japanese in exchange for silver." ”

"Deputy commander, you tell Yan Bing about the number of prisoners saved, and Yan Bing will be my deputy to negotiate with me in a while."

After the Japanese commander approached the headquarters, he bluntly stated his request for all the prisoners to be returned.

Yang Xingguo did not answer directly.

"According to the usual rules of our Liaodong Army, no matter who becomes a prisoner of our Liaodong Army, he will be a coolie for my Liaodong Army for 20 years to atone for his crimes. When the time is up, we will release these captives ourselves. ”

"Now that you suddenly say that you want to ransom these captives, I am really a little reluctant. You know, these captives are different from ordinary people, they are all strong laborers. ”

Seeing that the faces of the Japanese soldiers were getting more and more ugly, Yang Xingguo's tone changed and continued.

"Of course, as long as your army is sincere, it is not impossible to redeem these prisoners. If a captive gives us a coolie for 20 years, as long as you give us a ransom, you can invite the same young man to work as a coolie for us for 20 years, and if my Liaodong army has any losses, these captives can be returned to you. ”

"I don't know how much ransom Commander Yang wants?" The Japanese major general asked with a look of emptiness.

"It's not up to me Yang Xingguo to decide how much ransom is, it's Minister Yan next to me who has the final say. Minister Yan is the head of the Economic Department of my Liaodong Army, he used to hurt people, and he knows the price of strong labor best, and she said that she will pay as much ransom as she wants? ”

Yan Bing, who had been explained by Yang Xingguo in advance, answered boldly after only a short period of contemplation.

"Outside the gates, a strong laborer needs a salary of one tael of silver a month, and twenty years it costs two hundred and forty taels of silver."

"We have captured a total of 3,500 ordinary soldiers of your army, and according to the ransom of 240 taels per person, these ordinary soldiers need a total of 840,000 taels of silver."

Yan Bing looked like a weak woman on the surface, but when she opened her mouth, it was a lion's big mouth, and she couldn't see the meaning of a weak woman at all.

The Japanese major general in front of him hesitated and pondered for a full minute before replying: "800,000 taels of silver for 3,500 prisoners." ”

"Yes!" Yang Xingguo replied very quickly.

Yang Xingguo's cheerfulness made the Japanese major general very happy, and he subconsciously reached an agreement with Yang Xingguo.

But it didn't take long for the major general to find out about the problem, frowning and asking: "No, why are there no officers and technical arms here, especially artillery!" ”

"Of course not!" Yang Xingguo replied as a matter of course.

"Different people, of course, have to pay different prices to redeem them!"

"Half a year is enough to train an ordinary soldier. But a qualified artilleryman is simply impossible without a year, and it is necessary to have talent, and educated people can be artillerymen. ”

"As for the officers, it will take more time. A year for a second lieutenant is definitely needed, a year and a half for a lieutenant, and two years for a captain......"

"Correspondingly, the price of redemption for artillery is twice that of an ordinary soldier, twice as much for an ensign, three times as much as a lieutenant, four times as much as a captain, and so on." (To be continued.) )
