"Don't worry, although there are many Japanese soldiers, there are not many of them who can still fight, and they have all broken their backbones, what else is there to be afraid of?" , Yuan Shikai patted the head of the regiment on the shoulder, so that he didn't have to worry, "What's more, these prisoners of war have been disarmed, and they have long been toothless tigers, if they can still turn the sky upside down, then I, Yuan, will immediately find a piece of tofu and kill them!" ”

Since they all said so, if Commander Zhang disagrees, it seems that he doesn't believe in Yuan Shikai's ability, so he can only keep his mouth shut, but judging from his deeds in North Korea and Mukden, Commander Zhang can also see that Yuan Shikai is a ruthless character, and he can only hope that Yuan Shikai's personal ability can make up for the lack of strength of the troops under his command.

Originally, Commander Zhang also planned to leave the machine gun carriage to Yuan Shikai, but the latter said that it was just to deal with some unarmed prisoners of war, and it was enough to have their own and captured Green guns, anyway, they didn't use up a single bullet in the previous battle, and the ammunition reserves were quite sufficient.

It didn't take long for the trophies in the Japanese camp to be cleaned up and began to be loaded into different categories, and Commander Zhang was surprised after reading the list, the amount of weapons and ammunition was not much different from his estimate, but there were still a large number of gold and silver treasures in it, and the amount far exceeded his expectations

Although it is not possible to accurately estimate the value of works of art and ornaments for the time being, just by looking at the data of "more than 260,000 taels of gold", Commander Zhang can understand how amazing the total value of these trophies is, and this is only a small treasury intercepted by the Third Division, and the total amount of wealth they plundered in the northeast must be even more amazing.

The Third Division was able to obtain so much gold and silver treasure in such a short time, and how much evil it had done during this time, and it can be understood with a little thought. As a result, Commander Zhang became more and more resentful of these devils, but it was a pity that he himself could not see the blood debts of these beasts paid with his own eyes.

After seeing the list of loot, Head Zhang also realized another benefit of Yuan Shikai's arrangement, as the so-called "wealth moves people's hearts", so many gold and silver treasures are placed in front of him, it is inevitable that no one will have a mind that he should not have.

Relatively speaking, his cavalry regiment is an old unit in the rebel army, and the officers and soldiers are mainly from the Jiaodong Peninsula, most of them are relatively honest, coupled with the strict discipline and restraint that has always been strict, there will be no problems.

And the two or three thousand people brought by Yuan Shikai are not easy to say, although the Qing army hangs the brand of the government army, but in fact it is just mercenaries fighting for military salaries, before the complete adaptation, it is more naïve to expect them to resist the temptation of so much money than to ask them to fight bravely, or the cavalry regiment will take away the spoils of war first and cut off their thoughts.

However, before leaving, Commander Zhang still helped Yuan Shikai solve some of them, and the more than 5,000 seriously injured people who couldn't even walk could be directly disposed of even according to the discipline of the Datong Party, after all, the cavalry regiment did not have the conditions to treat them now.

What surprised Commander Zhang was that after he ordered the immediate execution of those seriously wounded, the other Japanese officers and soldiers did not show much resentment, but were more deferential.

However, Commander Zhang has no intention of thinking about whether they are open to death, or just afraid of the machine guns of the cavalry regiment, anyway, these guys will not live long, who cares what the dead think?

At this time, Yuan Shikai was talking and laughing with Gui Taro, and he couldn't see that he was preparing to kill, and he really deserved to be the number one actor in China at the end of the Qing Dynasty in history

After learning that the person in front of him was Yuan Shikai, Gui Taro immediately bowed solemnly to him to show respect, as early as when he was the "Emperor Taishang" of North Korea, Yuan Shikai became one of the most hated objects of the Japanese, after the outbreak of the First Sino-Japanese War, he first assisted Gao Shanji to create a lot of trouble for the Japanese, and then took over Gao Shanji's class, and once became Gui Taro's most difficult opponent, with such a bad platform of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai can still have such a performance, which is enough to show his extraordinary talent.

What's more, Katsura Taro still mistakenly thinks that the several battles of the Annihilation of the Third Division were commanded by Yuan Shikai, who changed the court, and naturally has a higher evaluation of him, plus his own life and death are now in the hands of Yuan Shikai, how can Katsura Taro not lower his profile. What about deliberately stuttering?

Yuan Shikai naturally wouldn't take a dead man's compliment to heart, but it was also a good thing to be able to eliminate the vigilance of a little more devil prisoner of war, so he also smiled and made a mistake, even Katsura Taro, a part-time politician, was inevitably deceived by it for a while under the weak psychological influence of being a prisoner of the ranks

"Gui Jun, before returning to Fengtian, there is one more thing to bother your army to do." , Yuan Shikai asked very politely.

But Katsura Taro didn't dare to make a big difference, and immediately accepted a standard bow, without asking Yuan Shikai what he planned to ask them to do.

Yuan Shikai smiled when he saw this, and grabbed Katsura Taro's hand and said, "Although the 'first group' has preliminarily cleaned up the battlefield, the thousands of corpses of your army are still exposed to the wilderness.

"The latter reason is the main one, right?" , Katsura Taro complained silently, but he didn't think of Yuan Shikai's true intentions. But maybe Yuan Shikai was too polite to him before, and this guy actually had the courage to object, "It's better to incinerate the corpses, and you can bring them back to Japan after the war." ”

"Katsura Taro, what made you have the courage to bargain with Yuan?" When Yuan Shikai heard this, the pair of eyes that were still squinting before suddenly shone fiercely, and pointed to Katsura Taro's nose and said, "Back to Japan?" You are all war criminals who invaded our country! Don't talk about them, even those of you who survived, whether or not you can return to Japan depends on the peace conditions offered by your government! ”

Katsura Taro was frightened and didn't dare to put forward any more conditions, but Yuan Shikai seemed to be angry, and no longer gave orders to the Japanese prisoners of war through him, but directly ordered people to use Green Cannon to force the seven or eight thousand prisoners who were not injured or sick or had minor injuries to dig a pit, and also made various demands in a nitpicky manner, "Let you dig a big pit, the kind that buries thousands of people at a time, and expect to have a single pit?" Do you want to add more tombstones and graves? Dig a little deeper, and soon it will be the rainy season, and the pit is so shallow, you are not afraid that after the heavy rain, the bones will be dug up and eaten by wild dogs?
