Chapter Ninety-Eight: Changes in the Russian Army
When Yang Xingguo learned from Liang Cheng that Yangjiazhai regimental training was reorganized into the Liaodong Army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Five days have passed.
In these five days, the Lao Maozi garrison stationed in Anshan County was not as calm as everyone imagined.
Because of two consecutive defeats, Major General Vasily was directly sent to a military court by the commander of the Liaodong garrison of Lao Maozi.
As a result, the post of commander-in-chief of the encirclement and suppression army of Lao Maozi, who invited the Anshan bandits, became vacant.
Originally, I thought that the post of commander-in-chief of encirclement and suppression was a position to send war merits.
Unexpectedly, a veteran who has been in the army for decades would sink into the sand in this position.
As a result, all the officers in the Liaodong garrison of Lao Maozi were full of scruples about this position, fearing that they would end up being sent to a military court like Major General Vasily.
Therefore, when the commander of the Liaodong garrison of Lao Maozi planned to redetermine this candidate for commander-in-chief.
All the major generals in the Liaodong garrison who met the requirements shirked on various grounds.
No one wants to be the commander-in-chief, and the entire encirclement and suppression operation cannot be stopped.
As the regimental commander, Colonel Marni was very fortunate to be selected by the commander of the Liaodong garrison.
The rank was promoted directly from colonel to major general, taking over all the military positions left after the departure of Major General Vasily.
For this unexpected surprise, Colonel Malney can be said to be both excited and worried.
Needless to say, excitement......
As long as you are a soldier, you know that the military rank from colonel to major general is a difficult change card to overcome. And now, after only three years as a colonel, he has crossed this hurdle and become a high-ranking officer in the empire...... If it's not excited, it's too abnormal.
As for worry, it's simpler......
The Yangjiazhai bandits can make Major General Vasily suffer a big loss on the battlefield, and they can also make themselves suffer a big loss on the battlefield.
If you are lucky, the position of commander-in-chief of encirclement and suppression can make your rank of major general more stable, and even get further promotion.
If you are unlucky, you lose the battle, and the position of commander-in-chief of the encirclement and suppression is likely to be the end point of your military career.
Therefore, for the sake of his own future, Major General Marni, who had a cautious personality, did not immediately send troops after receiving the order.
Cautious, while finding out the true strength of Yangjiazhai through various means, he asked the Lushun Headquarters for help, asking the Lushun Headquarters to continue to send reinforcements to join the encirclement and suppression of bandits.
And this just gave Yang Xingguo a time to rest and train.
Early in the morning, Yang Xingguo was still as usual, preparing to take the newly established reconnaissance company for training.
Zhou Zhongju suddenly broke into the headquarters and said with a mysterious face.
"Commander, someone from Anshan County is here, it's not our meticulous work, it's someone from the imperial court......"
Soon, after some disguise, Yang Xingguo still recognized Liang Cheng, the county commander at a glance, walked into the headquarters without welcome......
"Lord Liang...... Now my Yangjiazhai Tuanlian and Lao Maozi are in a state of war, as the county commander of Anshan County, come to me now, you are not afraid of Lao Maozi's development, set yourself on fire, and bring trouble to Lao Maozi......"
Liang Cheng replied very cheerfully: "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid...... However, this is the task given to me by the Queen Mother, and if I don't come, I will be disrespectful and will also have my head cut off......"
Speaking of this, Liang Cheng directly hugged his fists at Yang Xingguo and complimented: "This official came secretly to congratulate Lord Yang on your victory......
"The Queen Mother, who is far away in the capital, was very happy when she heard the news that you defeated Lao Maozi, and specially asked the official to reward you......"
"However, in order not to arouse the disgust of Lao Maozi, the imperial court can't do it for you to add an official to Lord Yang. However, the Queen Mother specially took out tens of thousands of taels of silver from her inner treasury to reward you, which shows the status of Lord Yang in the heart of the Queen Mother......"
For silver, Yang Xingguo is the more the merrier.
In addition, this is a dime a dime Cixi's reward for herself, and there is no reason why she should not want to.
Just after Yang Xingguo accepted the silver, Liang Cheng spoke again: "In addition to the silver, in order to let Lord Yang fight Lao Maozi with peace of mind in Liaodong, you have enough troops to replenish...... The Empress Dowager granted Lord Yang permission to change your regimental training to Liaodong Army...... That is to say, from now on, Lord Yang, you can train in the entire Liaodong ......"
"Of course, there will be no decree coming down from this charter...... As for the reason, Lord Yang, you should know ......"
Yangjiazhai regimental training was renamed Liaodong Army...... Although it is only a difference in name, Yang Xingguo can see a very huge benefit from the three words Liaodong Army.
Therefore, until Liang Cheng left Yangjiatun, the smile on Yang Xingguo's face did not stop.
In order to maximize the benefits of changing his name, Yang Xingguo didn't care about any court regulations.
In order to increase the persuasiveness, Zhou Zhongju directly made a copy of the holy decree and read it in front of most of the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army.
This is not only that, in order to make the newly established Liaodong Army more centripetal and morale more high.
Yang Xingguo also specially used the dyed old Maozi military uniform as the military uniform of the Liaodong Army, and distributed it to every soldier on the day of the reading of the false holy decree.
Looking at the more than 2,000 soldiers in front of him who finally had unified military uniforms, Yang Xingguo felt it.
From now on, he finally deserves his name as a commander......
With a unified military uniform, coupled with the fact that his behavior of beating Lao Maozi was recognized by the imperial court, the regimental training also officially had the title of Liaodong Army. The morale of the more than 2,000 officers and men of the Liaodong Army immediately rose to the extreme.
And at this moment, Major General Marni of Anshan County also received the news that Yangjiazhai regimental training was known as the Liaodong Army.
In the face of this information, Major General Marni's first reaction was to call the county commander Liang Cheng, wanting to put the responsibility of the first part on the Qing court, and tell the Lushun command that the reason why the Liaodong Army could not be defeated was because the Liaodong Army stood behind the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty supported them in fighting the Russian Imperial Army.
However, Liang Cheng did not know about this matter in the imperial court, and it was the answer of the Liaodong Army's own behavior, which directly made Major General Marni have no place to vent the anger in his stomach.
After all, there is no evidence of it yourself.
It is also impossible for the Russian Empire to break with the Qing Dynasty again because of its own inference......
Besides, there was far more than one Russian Empire among the great powers that were eyeing the Qing Dynasty.
The other powers would never watch the Russian Empire reap its wealth in the Great Qing Dynasty, and they could only watch from the sidelines.
