Chapter 188: The Devil Makes Trouble
In order to get the command of the Liaodong Army as soon as possible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It only took five days for the Japanese Murakami Shaozo to send the silver that Yang Xingguo needed to Liaozhong.
Yang Xingguo did not break his promise, and in front of all the officers above the company level of the Liaodong Army, he announced Murakami's decision to serve as the chief instructor of the Liaodong Army.
More than a dozen Japanese brought by Murakami Shaoza were assigned to various battalions and companies as instructors.
At first, Murakami was very happy.
In his opinion, Yang Xingguo cooperated with him so much, he must be blessed by Amaterasu to complete the task as soon as possible and become a hero of the empire.
However, this joy did not last long.
In less than two days, Murakami's dream was shattered by various realities and problems.
In the room where Murakami was resting, three subordinates with the rank of captain and two with the rank of lieutenant were complaining to themselves with dissatisfaction and anger about what had happened to them in the various battalions and companies.
"Captain, the Qing Dynasty people are too cunning...... Although I am the chief instructor of the first battalion, I have no soldiers to train me......"
"I went to Zhou Jun, the commander of the first battalion, and Zhou Jun actually told me that in order to prevent a sneak attack by the Russian army, all the combat units of the first battalion were scattered and stationed in various places. The headquarters of the first battalion of Nuoda turned out to be only one platoon of defenders, and it was also the guard unit of the battalion headquarters of the first battalion......"
"I am a captain officer of the Great Japanese Empire, and even in the Imperial Army, I can command more than 200 Imperial warriors. And in the Liaodong Army, only the soldiers of the Imperial Empire are trained to ......"
"It's a shame for the soldiers of the empire...... Ba Ge Yalu ......"
After the Japanese captain's words were finished, the other Japanese were like resentful women, and one after another told Murakami Shaozo about what happened to them in the Liaodong Army.
One of the Japanese captains was the worst.
Because he worked as an instructor in the second battalion where Zhang Hu was, and Zhang Hu was born as a bandit, he didn't take him seriously at all.
He has always been vindictive, but in the two days of the second battalion, he actually ate the same big pot of rice as ordinary soldiers.
After listening to all kinds of complaints from his subordinates, Murakami Shaozo also wanted to complain about the dissatisfaction in his heart.
The headquarters of the Liaodong Army in Nuoda has several battalions and companies garrisoned.
However, these battalions and companies were sent outside by Yang Xingguo for training by various means and reasons. It was very difficult to even see them in person. Not to mention taking advantage of the opportunity of military training to develop their own forces.
A dignified Imperial Japanese junior officer, in the headquarters of the Liaodong Army, could only train less than 50 officers and men of the Liaodong Army.
And that's not all. This limited soldier doesn't take himself very seriously.
However, in order to complete the task, in order to establish a good image in front of his subordinates.
Murakami still resisted the urge to complain.
After taking a deep breath, he scolded loudly at his subordinates: "Yaga." This difficulty has stumped you, and you are still not Imperial warriors...... Have you all forgotten the importance of the Liaodong Army to the empire? ”
"Time is running out for us from the military department, we must hurry up and ......"
"Since you're training the guard forces now, let's start with the guard forces...... I have a total of 3,000 taels of silver here, and everyone has divided it to win over the Liaodong Army......"
"In addition, there is good news for you to tell you, the Liaodong Army is expanding its army, as far as I know. The total strength of this expansion was as high as 2,000 troops...... I will propose to the Liaodong Army that we train this group of recruits......"
Yang Xingguo, the commander of the Liaodong Army, was in a very good mood.
Because, after the news of the recruitment spread, in just two days, more than 2,000 young people from all over the country wanted to sign up for the Liaodong Army.
Some people are for the rich military salary and treatment of the Liaodong Army, some people are for being able to get ahead through the Liaodong Army, and of course, some people are for joining the Liaodong Army to kill Lao Maozi and avenge the family who died in the hands of Lao Maozi......
In the face of everyone's enthusiasm, Yang Xingguo had to increase the recruitment conditions many times.
But even so, it only took four days for the Liaodong Army to recruit 2,000 people.
Just when Yang Xingguo and Zhou Zhongju started to discuss. When how to distribute these two thousand recruits, Murakami Shaozo broke in directly.
Facing Yang Xingguo, he preemptively said: "Yang Jun, I heard that the Liaodong Army has just recruited 2,000 recruits...... As the chief instructor of the Liaodong Army, in order to let them form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. I decided to train them myself......"
Yang Xingguo's brows immediately furrowed, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse.
However, when he saw the confident smile on Murakami's face, he held back.
As the commander of the Liaodong Army, although Yang Xingguo did not keep an eye on these Japanese all the time. However, for a few days. He still knows what happened to these Japanese.
He knew that all the Japanese, including Murakami Shaosa in front of him, were very dissatisfied with the exclusion of the Liaodong Army, and even angry.
In addition, as the chief instructor of the Liaodong Army, Murakami Shaoza made such a request very reasonable.
Once Yang Xingguo refused, it meant that Yang Xingguo deliberately did not allow the Japanese to train in the Liaodong Army, and at that time, the Liaodong Army and the Japanese would completely part ways.
For the time being, it is not the time for me to part ways with the Japanese, and I must find a way to stabilize these Japanese, so that they can ask the Japanese military headquarters for as many weapons and ammunition as possible for the Liaodong Army in the next few months.
Thinking of this, although Yang Xingguo was unwilling, he still said incorrectly: "Yes...... After three days, these recruits will be gathered at the headquarters...... When the time comes, I will ask Murakami Shaoza to personally train them so that they can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible......"
"I won't let Yang Jun down......"
As soon as Murakami Shaoza left with a satisfied smile, Zhou Zhongju asked worriedly: "Commander, really hand over 2,000 recruits to the Japanese for training...... You don't know the ambitions of the Japanese, and when they finish training, these two thousand new troops will not be the officers and soldiers of my Liaodong Army......"
Yang Xingguo replied with an embarrassed face: "Second uncle, you also saw it just now, Murakami Shaozuo has an aggressive posture, I'm sure, as long as I refuse, we and the Japanese will part ways......"
"The situation is so bad that parting ways with the Japanese now will definitely do us more harm than good...... So, I can only compromise for the time being and stabilize them......"
Speaking of this, Yang Xingguo's tone changed and he continued: "However, Second Uncle, you are right...... Lao Maozi is very ambitious, and he must not let them train ......"
"That's why I said that in three days, these recruits will be gathered at the headquarters for training."
"And in three days, a lot can happen......"
After finishing speaking, Yang Xingguo showed an imperceptible sneer on his face...... (To be continued.) )
