"150,000 Tiele soldiers, half a year's arrears, plus half a year's military salary as a bonus. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info This money has been taken into your hands, and I look at Kuropatkin, what will you pay the soldiers at the front. Originally, the morale of the Tiele soldiers on the front line was very low, and now there is no military salary, and there is no fighting spirit, and in the battle of Shahe, I believe that the Fusang army will definitely be able to win a big victory. ”

Zhao Guanhou greeted Bai Chuanwu, and then beckoned him to sit down, Shirakawa Wu's attitude was also very modest, "Yes, if you and I sincerely cooperate, we will definitely be able to defeat those barbaric Tiele people." We will not forget your country's help to our country. ”

"How do you pay the bill this time? Or is it the old rule that we pay Zhang Daheng first, and then your bank in Jinmen will pay us the reward? ”

"No, we've got you paid this time. Although the supply of materials on the front line is very tight now, in order to show sincerity, I still prepared a large number of supplies for Lord Zhao and the troops led by Zhang in Taonan to ensure that we can provide you with sufficient supplies. However, at present, the main forces of the empire are fighting against Tiele's troops in Shahe, and the forces of Taonan are very limited, and once these materials are discovered by others, I am afraid it will be difficult to preserve. ”

Zhao Guanhou sneered, "Bai Chuan Shaozuo, don't go around in circles with me, I am also friends with your Banxi, we have dealt with a lot, and we have something to say." Isn't it just urging us to hurry up and get out so that we can help you deal with the Rouran horse bandits, and it's good to be sharp. Don't worry, what you promised you will definitely be done, but what you promised me will also be done. We don't accept hand tickets for our military pay this time. ”

"This is natural, the silver payment promised to your army guarantees that there is no problem, as long as you arrive in Taonan, you will pay immediately."

On the Tieler side, since Makarov's death, the remnants of the fleet in Port Arthur have lost their fighting spirit, the navy has been reorganized into an army, and the naval guns have been dismantled and placed on the fortress batteries for use, and this navy has lost its meaning. However, the sabotage fleet dispatched from Vladivostok performed well, and repeatedly attacked the Fuso transport fleet successfully.

Fuso's fleet organized several encirclement and suppression, but failed to capture the fleet that attacked its own supply, and the supply line at sea was very difficult to maintain. In terms of land warfare, Fuso's Third Army, under the leadership of Nogi Noshinori, carried out a large-scale attack on Tiele's fortress of Arthur, but Arthur was known as a fortress that could never be attacked, and it was not easy to succeed.

Before the war, Tieler had ordered a large number of mines and hundreds of thousands of hand-left ammunition from Mrs. Jenson at one time, and these mines, all of which were used in the defense of Tieler's fortress, and in front of the position, a complex mine array was constructed. At the same time, Tiele also began to make his own trigger mines, laying a large number of them on the defensive line, and before the position, there was almost no place for people to stay. In addition, there are large quantities of soybeans stored in the fortress cellars.

At a price of 50,000 rubles, Zhao Guanhou offered Oleg a proposal to water the soybeans and make bean sprouts. The suggestion of supplementing the vitamins of the Tiele people with bean sprouts made the sepsis in the Tiele Fortress not very serious, and the combat effectiveness could still be maintained. Although the commander of the fortress was not strong-willed, they also had the courage to resist when the Fuso people pressed up.

Relying on mines, hand-held ammunition, and previously built fortifications and forts, the Tiele people fought impressively in the defensive battle of Lushun, and Nogi Noshinori's stubborn and rigid tactics also caused their casualties to skyrocket. Nogi Noshinori charge has become a proper noun, although this kind of charge seems to be extremely powerful, but in front of the fortress, it is also doomed to heavy casualties and piles of corpses. Both of his sons joined the death squad and fulfilled their wishes, but there was still no hope of taking the fortress. At present, the entire Lushun fortress has been turned into a huge meat grinder, which will crush the flesh and blood of the soldiers of the two countries.

Fuso's Third Army had already been replenished twice, but the progress was still not great, which made the Dashanyan troops fighting against Mukden feel that their strength was seriously insufficient, and the pace of the offensive could only be slowed down. As time dragged on, the supply pressure on Fuso became more and more intense, and the front-line supplies became increasingly difficult. In this way, in order to defeat the Tielers, it is necessary to rely on the destruction of the rear of Tiele by the Jin State to ensure the paralysis of its land supply lines.

The performance of the armed forces in this regard is indeed excellent, and the capacity of the Trans-Siberian Railway has dropped to 20 percent of its normal capacity. The Tiele troops were pinned down on the front line and could not afford to draw large forces to encircle and suppress them, and the road escort team and search team sent did not take advantage of the several battles with the Wuwei army. On the contrary, through these conflicts, the armed guards not only trained their troops, but also became more and more courageous, and their tactical level was markedly improved.

In this case, Tiele could only change some of the supplies to be transported in large carts and send elite cavalry to escort them, which greatly reduced efficiency and safety could not be guaranteed. For example, this time, the salaries of the three Cossack cavalry companies were used to escort them, which were still obtained by the armed guards and the bearded army, and the escort troops were all annihilated.

Based on the combat effectiveness of the Jin soldiers, the attitude of the Fusang intelligence system and army officials towards Xu Juren and Zhang Yuting can only get better and better. The silver that was once forcibly exchanged from the people of the Jin Kingdom, and even a part of the indemnity, can now only be used to pay the remuneration of the Jin soldiers and these volunteers.

In addition to the large amount of rubles obtained this time, in addition to not being able to pay the front-line troops, the agents of Fuso can use these rubles as funds to pay them for the ears and eyes of the Tiele army. At the same time, the use of these rubles to make trouble and destroy the crumbling economic system of the occupied territories is an extremely brilliant achievement for Fuso.

It's just that after the Tiele people were repeatedly frustrated, they also fought back, preparing to drive the Rouran rebels they had supported into the pass, retaliating with a tooth for a tooth, and using these rebels to destroy the supply lines of Fusang. Like Tiele's troops, the mobile forces of Fusang were trapped in the two battlefields of Liaoyang and Lushun, and the rear was extremely empty, and once these one-man and two-horse Rouran rebels successfully invaded the rear, their supply lines would be completely paralyzed.

Now it is impossible to mobilize troops from the frontal battlefield to protect supplies, and the only people who can rely on them are Zhao Guanhou and these beards. We can only try to meet their demands. However, the Fusang people were worried that Zhao Guanhou would open his mouth, and they also used scheming to deliberately put all the money, food, guns and ammunition that Zhao Guanhou asked for in Taonan. At the risk of being robbed by the enemy, he also had to force Zhao to go to Taonan quickly and not to delay any longer

Hearing him point out the facts, Shirakawa Takeshi was not embarrassed, but generously admitted, "Once the Rouran bandits harass the rear of our Fusang troops, it will be a disaster for our soldiers." In the rear, there were our baggage, supplies, and a large number of our wounded soldiers. If the rear is not stable and the railroad is not clear, the soldiers of the empire will not be able to fight. Neither of us wants to lose this war, do we? ”

"Mr. Shirakawa is right, we don't want to lose, but there are differences between you and me. Of course, Daikin wants to get it back outside the customs, but at present, our strength is limited, and outside the customs, there is a total of so much strength. You are well aware of this. In order to help you, dozens of our battalion officers acted as the eyes and ears of your army, thousands of generals changed their uniforms to participate in the war, and tens of thousands of people were strong. Even those who were captured by Tiele and beheaded by Tiele were also thousands. These are the prices that our Daikin has paid, and your country cannot deny this. Now if we want to fight those soft horse thieves, we can't let us go empty-handed. Although the strength of those traitors is not strong, they are better than one man and two horses, coming and going like the wind. We are mostly infantry, and our horsemanship is not as good as theirs, and our foot strength is also inferior, so how can we fight. ”

Bai Chuanwu said with a smile: "Lord Zhao, what you said is true, but during this time, you fought with the Cossacks repeatedly, and captured more than two hundred Don hippos, which is enough to arm two cavalry posts, isn't it." As for the Albion Horses you need, we will do our best to help, but the number is ......."

Zhao Guanhou stretched out five fingers, "Five hundred, this is the bottom line, we must have more than five hundred Albion horses to ensure that we will not fall behind in the competition with the Rouran people in terms of mobility." If you cannot guarantee the supply of these horses, then I can only guarantee to defeat the Rourans, not to pursue them. Until you get so many Albion horses, the Don hippos captured on the battlefield can be handed over to our army as a replacement. ”

"Good...... I will report this truthfully to my superiors, and I can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not. However, I hope that you and I can continue to maintain good cooperation, as far as I am concerned, I cherish the cooperation with you, and I hope that your cooperation can continue to be maintained. ”

Zhang Yuting said: "Mr. Bai Chuan, the old men outside our customs are the most righteous, our buddies are interesting enough, I have to think about it for you." There are so many big cars, in addition to banknotes, they are medicines, how do you get them back? If you let the big nose catch up, you're not going to be good. ”

"Don't worry, Lord Zhang, this point, the country is also prepared, and we also have staff on the Tiele side to ensure that this information will be delayed for twenty-four hours. This time is enough time for me to properly dispose of these supplies and ensure that they are digested smoothly, and by the time the Tiele people react, they will not find anything. ”

Zhao Guanhou stretched out his chopsticks and pointed outside, "Do me a favor and transfer the people here to Xinmin Mansion or the nearby mountains." Lest the big nose follow the trail, this small village can't stop it. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the Tiele people can't draw up troops of this scale, and they don't have the energy, every soldier of them has to be put on the front line, and they can't take out this force."

There was a hint of bitterness in Shirakawa Takeshi's mouth, how could he not be like this? If Fuso still has a mobile force to ensure the safety of its rear, why should it be held hostage by this mixed army of bandits and officers and soldiers, and pay the precious silver instead of the gold dollars of the empire to the people of the Jin country.

In order to transfer this batch of materials sent to the front line, he mobilized more than 500 people and drove dozens of trucks out of the village. As a token of appreciation, he left with twenty more smoothbore guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition.

When Mrs. Liu saw this meeting, she knew that Sanxian Village was involved in some major incident, and she was extremely uneasy. Zhao Guanhou gave him a road slip and guaranteed that he could hide in Xinmin until the end of the war. As for the common people, they can hide in the nearby mountains, and with Tiele's current strength, even if they have the strength to send troops to investigate, they will not have the strength to send troops to search the mountains.

In addition, this time they lost the army's salaries and bonuses, as well as extremely valuable medicines and other supplies, and Shahe was defeated more than victorious. As soon as Shahe is lost, the next Fusang army will point to Fengtian, and they really don't have much strength to devote themselves to the investigation of this matter.

Liu Laocai thanked him for his kindness, and brought Liu Jun over, "This kid has been a soldier and can be a substitute for several heroes." Whether you let him pull the horse, let him carry his life, take him with him, whether he lives or dies, it is his creation. If the ancestors of our old Liu family are virtuous, he will be able to mix up his personal appearance in the future, and he will inevitably repay the kindness of several people. The old decay is beyond retribution, the food in the hoard, and the livestock in the horse number are the filial piety to all the heroes. ”

Zhao Guanhou secretly admired that this old man really had a decision, among the land wealth he encountered, there were not many people who could make such a big deal, he thought for a moment and said: "Old man, we are going to a distant place this time, where will we go to do business in the future, it is difficult to say, you are willing to give up your son?" ”

"Willing! I am willing to go wherever he goes, but if I am reluctant to give up my son, I will limit his hands and feet. If he stays in this small place for the rest of his life, he will not be productive. You take him with you, and you are guaranteed not to be ashamed. ”

For the sake of the old man's enthusiasm and the food in the stockpile, Liu Jun was brought into the army and assigned to Gao Sheng's men, and for him, a new life began.

After the troops had eaten in Sanxian Village, received the grain and dozens of livestock provided by Mrs. Liu, and left a large sum of rubles, they immediately set out. The victorious bandits always have a good mood and high morale, and the joy of the cavalry team gradually infected Liu Jun, who missed his hometown and wife, and hummed a small tune with everyone.

Sun Meiyao shook her head on her horse and fiddled with a gold-shelled pocket watch, which he had captured from the Cossack cavalry officer. Open the case, you can see a beautiful photo of the girl Tiele inside, probably the fiancée or wife of the unfortunate deceased, looking at the girl's bright smile, thinking of the officer's brain burst out by her own knife, Sun Meiyao felt comfortable from the heart.

Although her cavalry is also one man and one horse, they have all been reequipped with Don hippos, and when they arrive in Taonan and receive new horses, they can realize the dream of one person and two horses. Seeing Zhao Guanhou urging the horse over, she smiled and waved her whip at him

"Are we really going to fight the Rouran bandits this time? Didn't you say that you don't take the fire for the Fuso people? The power of the Fuso people outside the gate is too strong, and it will be difficult to move them in the future if they are not weakened. Looking at today, Shirakawa Takeshi can mobilize so many people, to be honest, they are much more difficult to deal with than Big Nose. ”

"This time it's not about taking chestnuts in the fire, it's about getting rich, and it's stupid not to go. Besides, Shirakawa Takeshi is right, no matter what, the imperial court can't afford to lose this war now. As for the Fusang people, after all, it is the second step to solve the problem, and our first step is always to go to Taonan first and solve this horse bandit. This group of horse thieves has been making too much trouble in the past few years, and they have been harmed every year, so they just took this opportunity to destroy them. ”

In the team of bandits, the enthusiasm for fighting the Rouran horse bandits is also very high, and these foreign counterparts do not understand the language, and they can't even match the incisions in the rivers and lakes. All the rules of the green forest outside the gate are not talked about, and they are wantonly destroyed, and they belong to the destroyers of the rules of the rivers and lakes. It is because the green forest outside the gate has no good impression of the Rouran bandits, it is nothing more than afraid of its great momentum, and dare not resist, this time with the support of the government, there is revenge, there is revenge, there is revenge, and the scale of this team is also quietly expanding.

In Taonan, Cao Zhongkun's battalion, which was ordered to enter the city first, and was ready to block the Rouran people from entering the city, had already entered the county seat, Li Xiushan's battalion was stationed in Baicheng, and in Tongyu was the first battalion of the Huai army led by Ren Sheng. There is no sign of any attack here, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the market is still thriving, the only doubt is that there are too many Rouran residents here.
