Chapter 292: Zhang Zhidong's support
After seeing the changes in the two old hairs, Yang Xingguo replied directly with an impatient face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Pay the price...... Can ......"
"This time the Second Division of the Japanese Army was eliminated, and a large number of light and serious wounded appeared in our Liaodong Army...... Now, we urgently need a lot of doctors and medicines. If you want to talk about cooperation, then immediately send fifty doctors and bring a large number of medicines to save thousands of wounded soldiers of our Liaodong Army first......"
"As for cooperation, we will cooperate when your doctors and medicines arrive......"
The two old hairy men seemed to suddenly grasp a life-saving straw in despair, and replied excitedly without thinking about it: "Yes, I will contact our Excellency the commander immediately, and ask him to send a doctor and bring medicine." ā
In Liaoyang City, after receiving the news from the negotiators, the commander of the Russian army immediately understood that Yang Xingguo of the Liaodong Army was opening his mouth to himself.
And the two negotiators he sent were so stupid that they agreed to each other without bargaining.
Thinking of this, the commander's face immediately showed an expression of anger and dissatisfaction.
The chief of staff standing on the side, after seeing the changing expression on the commander's face, immediately proposed: "Yang Xingguo of the Liaodong Army is really too arrogant, and he is also very cunning. I propose to reject this condition ......"
"The Liaodong Army must not have enough doctors and medicines to put forward this precondition, as long as we reject the Liaodong Army, the Liaodong Army will definitely compromise with us for the sake of medicine......"
"No......," the commander refused.
"We need the Liaodong Army now, and we need thousands of wounded soldiers from the Liaodong Army to help us fight the Japanese......"
"Reject them now, or threaten them with medicines. Even if we can force them to submit, the Liaodong Army will not sincerely cooperate with us, and there will even be a situation of defection on the verge of battle......"
"The Liaodong Army has the ability to destroy a main division of the Japanese army, and even if the troops suffer heavy losses, it still has the strength to destroy one of our main divisions. If the Liaodong Army really defects in the future, it will definitely be a very fatal blow to our Russian army. ā
So, I decided to say yes...... But. We can't negotiate with him anymore......"
"Chief of Staff, when sending military doctors and medicines to the Liaodong Army, a negotiator was re-dispatched to Liaozhong with the military doctors. Renegotiate with them. ā
Seeing the complicated expression of the chief of staff with grievance and reluctance, the commander continued: "Chief of staff, there is a saying in Chinese that a gentleman takes revenge, and ten years is not too late...... Now, for the sake of the Russian army. We were wronged, and it was nothing. After we defeat the Japanese, we will definitely have to return the Liaodong Army tenfold, a hundred times, so that they know that our Russian army is not something that anyone can blackmail. ā
After receiving an affirmative reply from Liaoyang Lao Maozi, Yang Xingguo's worries about the field hospital were immediately put down.
Zhang Zhidong, the governor of the two lakes, thousands of miles away, had just gotten up early in the morning when he received a superstitious letter from his confidant and adviser.
"My lord, this is what our representative of the Liaodong Army who was locked up in the army quickly sent back. Just a few days ago. The Liaodong Army successfully eliminated the Japanese Second Division that had entered the hinterland of Liaozhong and killed more than 16,000 elite Japanese troops......"
"Yang Xingguo of the Liaodong Army asked us, he now has a large number of captured Japanese weapons and ammunition in his hands, should we ......?"
"He also said that this time he can sell us some heavy machine guns and artillery, but these heavy weapons must be exchanged for Western medicine......
Compared with strategists who don't understand military affairs, Zhang Zhidong is an important minister of the court who has fought in battles.
As a former general, he knows very well what it means to have 16,000 elites in the second division of the Japanese army?
It can be said that now is to send the most elite Beiyang New Army of the imperial court. Use two towns to fight against one of the main divisions of the Japanese army, and the final defeat must be the two towns of the Beiyang New Army.
This shows how strong the combat effectiveness of a field division of the Japanese army is?
However, such an elite with strong combat effectiveness was unexpectedly defeated by the Liaodong Army. A local armed force that was not recognized by the imperial court was eliminated.
Even though Zhang Zhidong imagined its strength to be very strong from the beginning of knowing about the Liaodong Army, he still did not think, or even dare not think that the strength of the Liaodong Army was so strong that it could wipe out a main division of the Japanese army.
After reading the entire secret letter with a shocked face, Zhang Zhidong experienced ten minutes of silence before he sighed.
"I can't believe it. The Liaodong Army actually did it! Well, well played, played the prestige of our Chinese! After the battle of the Liaodong Army, I believe that the powers that are eyeing our Qing Dynasty will no longer dare to underestimate the combat effectiveness of our Qing Army! ā
The advisor said with a look of agreement: "Your Excellency, you are right. If this battle is heard, all the great powers will be shocked by it, and they will rediscover the military strength of our Great Qing Dynasty......"
"But it's a pity that the imperial court doesn't dare to admit the existence of the Liaodong Army, otherwise, the imperial court will definitely have an additional army of tigers and wolves that the great powers are afraid of......"
As a feudal official of the imperial court, Zhang Zhidong is still very clear about some things in the imperial court.
After shaking his head at the advisor, he replied, "The imperial court also has the difficulties of the imperial court...... We won't say much more about that......"
"However, the Liaodong Army's elimination of the Japanese Second Division is a good thing in any respect......"
"There is no way for the imperial court to reward the Liaodong Army and provide help to the Liaodong Army. As a feudal official of the imperial court, the old man can't stand by and be indifferent......"
Although Zhang Zhidong was loyal to the Qing court, it is undeniable that Zhang Zhidong was a very beloved nationalist.
The two great powers of Japan and Russia fought on the land of the Great Qing Dynasty, which, in Zhang Zhidong's view, was the greatest insult to the Chinese.
If the imperial court allowed, Zhang Zhidong would definitely be the first to enter Guanzai with his army and drive the Japanese and Russian armies out of Chinese soil.
However, due to various reasons in the imperial court, he had no way to fulfill this wish.
And now, the Liaodong Army, which has developed step by step in Liaodong, is fulfilling its wish step by step.
As a patriotic nationalist, how could Zhang Zhidong not be happy and excited.
Therefore, thinking of this, Zhang Zhidong subconsciously made a decision to do everything possible to support the Liaodong Army and let the Liaodong Army replace him to complete the dream that he could not complete.
Under the gaze of the strategist, after only a short period of contemplation, Zhang Zhidong ordered.
"Immediately restore Yang Xingguo of the Liaodong Army, we will buy as many weapons and ammunition as he has, as for the price, it is two percent more than the last time, and it will be regarded as the support of our Lianghu Governor's Mansion for the Liaodong Army......"
"Also, it is immediately suggested that we can contact all the trading houses and western pharmacies and western hospitals in the province to purchase a large number of western medicines and buy heavy weapons from the Liaodong army. As for the transaction price, it is also two percent more than usual. ā
"In the territory of the two lakes under the jurisdiction of the old man, there are still many patriotic merchants and gentry. Immediately invite them in the name of the old man, and the old man wants to collect donations from these merchants and landlords and gentry for the Liaodong army thousands of miles away, to support the Liaodong army that urgently needs to fight the Japanese, beat Lao Maozi, and drive them out of the Liaodong ......"
