In a day or two, it was enough time for the recruits' baggage battalion and guard company to clean up the battlefield. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And at this moment, Yang Xingguo has the results just counted in the middle of the week in front of him.

"The harvest is unprecedentedly huge......" is the best adjective in Yang Xingguo's heart that can be used to describe the results of this battle.

"Commander...... The twelve artillery pieces that Lao Maozi brought this time were all captured by us...... 321 shells were captured from the artillery position, and 800 shells were captured from the Lao Maozi Heavy Battalion......." Zhou Zhongju reported with an excited face.

"Heavy machine guns, except for the 12 that have been divided into four combat battalions, there are still 5 left, and the rest were destroyed by artillery fire on the battlefield. More than 65,000 rounds of heavy machine-gun ammunition were captured at the Laomaozi heavy machine gun position and the baggage battalion......"

"Rifles, except for the ones that were destroyed by Lao Maozi on the battlefield with artillery fire, there are still 2,150 rifles left, and there are 185,000 rounds of ammunition left......"

At this time, Yang Xingguo rarely showed a heartfelt smile on his face.

Facing Zhou Zhongju, he said with a satisfied face: "Another regiment's equipment...... Not surprisingly, when the one, two, three, and three battalions returned, they could still have a thousand rifles. “

"There are also Zhang Shanlin's four battalions, no accident, all the weapons and ammunition of a garrison battalion of Lao Maozi in Liaozhong will fall into his hands......"

"By then, we will have more than 3,500 rifles in our hands......"

Zhou Zhongju's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously asked Yang Xingguo, "Commander...... Are we using these surplus weapons and ammunition to carry out a new round of large-scale military expansion and use all the equipment in our hands? ”

Yang Xingguo shook his head and denied: "No, no expansion of the army...... Eat as much as you have an appetite...... If you eat too much at once, you'll choke to death......"

"Next, we have to find a way to buy some time for recuperation and training...... Practice well and replenish the completed four battalion ......"

"You didn't see in the battle a few days ago, the brothers who died under the fire of Lao Maozi and heavy machine guns were almost all recruits. We must find a way to change that. Otherwise, in the next battle, our losses will be even greater......"

"According to the conditions we put forward when we recruited soldiers, a bereavement pension of one hundred taels of silver for a soldier who died in battle. This time we lost more than a thousand brothers, that is, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver......"

"With the current background of my Liaodong Army, I can still afford more than 100,000 taels of silver...... However, what about the next time, if we lose 2,000 soldiers at a time, or even 3,000 soldiers at a time, can the limited family of my Liaodong Army still bear such a high pension......

"So, we have to find a way to improve the combat effectiveness of our brothers. On the battlefield, try to minimize the losses of your brothers ......"

"Another thing is to transfer to Liaozhong as soon as possible before Lao Maozi's new round of revenge begins, and build Liaozhong into the most solid base of our Liaodong Army, so that my Liaodong Army can achieve self-suffici......ency as soon as possible."

Zhou Zhongju replied with a look of approval: "There is another one, with the land, we can use the land instead of the pension and distribute it to the families of the brothers who died in the war, greatly reducing the expenditure of silver taels......"

Speaking of this, a trace of embarrassment quickly appeared on Zhou Zhongju's face.

Facing Yang Xingguo, he continued to ask: "It's just, commander, if you don't grab so much surplus, we can't put them in the warehouse to rust!" ”

"And it is also very inconvenient to transfer so many rifles...... If you don't deal with it earlier, these rifles will also become troublesome when you march into Liaozhong in the future......"

"Let's put it first, right?" Yang Xingguo shook his head helplessly and replied.

At this moment, the news of the arrival of the imperial court suddenly reached Yang Xingguo's ears.

When Yang Xingguo listened to the kindness of the other party, he was happy, and a very bold idea quickly appeared in Yang Xingguo's mind.

"I don't know how many rif......les you Lord Liang want," Yang Xingguo asked directly.

"Three hundred...... If Lord Yang is in difficulty, two hundred branches will do......" The sentry standing in front of Yang Xingguo hurriedly replied.

Yang Xingguo nodded and replied, "Just three hundred rifles...... Tell you, Lord Liang, I don't want silver, I want grain, and I want fine grain. The other one immediately brought me two military doctors and some medicines for gunshot wounds, Western medicine and Western medicine are the best. As long as you Liang Daren can do it, I, Yang Xingguo, am willing to owe him a favor......"

As soon as Yang Xingguo finished speaking, the sentry standing in front of him spoke: "There is no problem, the military doctor and medicine have already been prepared by Lord Liang...... I'll send the news back now, and tomorrow night, the military doctors and medicines can be delivered to Yangjiatun......"

Obviously, Liang Cheng was prepared for his own requirements.

Just when Yang Xingguo showed a satisfied smile on his face, the sentry's tone suddenly changed, and he continued: "But, Lord Yang, because all you want is fine grain, and the county government warehouse is stored with coarse grain. So, we need lead time. However, in ten days at the latest, Lord Yang, the finesse you need will be in place......"

"Yes......" Yang Xingguo said affirmatively without thinking about it.

At this time, Yang Xingguo continued to speak: "However, I still have a proposal, I hope that Officer Li can tell you Lord Liang......"

"Rifles, we still have a lot of leftovers in the Liaodong Army...... As long as Lord Liang needs it, two thousand are no problem......"

"I will give Liang a good opportunity for us to be promoted and make a fortune together, as long as Lord Liang can grasp it, the promotion and fortune will definitely not be far from him......"

The master's promotion and fortune, following the master's heart, there is no doubt that the tide will rise.

Therefore, as soon as Yang Xingguo's words were finished, the sentry's eyes lit up.

Facing Yang Xingguo, he asked with a hot face: "What opportunity!" ”

"It......'s very simple," Yang Xingguo replied with a mysterious face.

"As far as I know, the Mukden General's Mansion is forming a new army, and as long as it is an army, it needs weapons...... If Liang Daren can buy rifles and heavy machine guns for General Fengtian's Mansion through his own means, you say, will you Liang Daren get a different look from General Fengtian, and when the time comes, promotion and wealth will not be easy for you Liang Daren......"

As soon as the sentry's eyes lit up, he subconsciously opened his mouth in agreement......

However, as the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world, and if there is not enough interest, Yang Xingguo will never take out so many rifles.

Therefore, after only a short period of excitement, the sentinel calmed down and asked Yang Xingguo.

"Yang Daren is generous...... It's just that I don't know what Yang Daren wants from the Fengtian General's Mansion? ”

"Grain, silver, medicine, salt...... It's all the ...... that my Liaodong Army needs."

"In addition, my Liaodong Army also wants Liaozhong...... As for how to get Liaozhong from Lao Maozi and occupy him, that is my Liaodong Army's own business, and I will never involve the imperial court......"

The reason why Yang Xingguo listed Liaozhong in the conditions is very simple, that is, to show the imperial court that he is a member of the imperial court, even if the imperial court has no way to give himself direct volunteers. However, in terms of reputation and name, the imperial court must not drag itself back. ”
