Chapter 180: Reckoning with the General Ledger (Second Update!) )
It didn't take long for a very bold idea to appear in Zengqi's mind. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Facing Liang Cheng, he said in his non-negotiable tone: "You go back and tell Yang Xingguo that this official will help him with this...... However, the whole plan must be carried out in the name of the Shengjing General's Palace......"
"The other is that although the imperial court did not officially recognize the Liaodong Army. However, in the eyes of this official, the Liaodong Army is the army of the Qing Dynasty and the army under the jurisdiction of this official. As a Shangguan, Ben Chang will never watch the Liaodong Army face the great powers independently......"
"Therefore, this officer decided to draw at least a thousand soldiers from all the armies in Shengjing and let them voluntarily join the Liaodong Army......"
Playing the imperial court in the name of the Shengjing General's Mansion means that Zengqi, who is sitting in front of him, directly becomes the leader of the entire military operation.
In the whole plan, the Liaodong Army lost, because Zengqi was not directly involved and would not be subjected to any battalion commanders.
However, if the Liaodong Army wins, then Zengqi will be a great contributor to the country. At that time, Zeng Qi can rely on this political capital to be further promoted and become a real important minister of the imperial court.
"Sure enough, it's an old treacherous and cunning ......" This is Liang Cheng's first evaluation of Zengqi after thinking about the reason.
However, no matter what, Zeng Qi agreed after all.
Therefore, Liang Cheng just thought about it and replied: "Yes...... No matter what means the adults use, as long as the adults can move the imperial court, the Liaodong Army will find a way to send out five hundred rifles and three ultimate ......"
To Liang Cheng's surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, Zengqi said: "The two mountain cannons were also sent over...... The officers and soldiers promised by this officer will return to the Liaodong Army to report to the Liaodong Army in one month at the latest......"
In order to obtain the greatest political benefit in this matter, the day after Liang Cheng left Shengjing, Zengqi left Shengjing with his guards, preparing to go to the capital in person, saying that the Empress Dowager and the emperor agreed to his plan to fish in troubled waters and become a fisherman......
The headquarters of the Liaodong Army, after a few days of rectification and statistics. The losses and results of the Liaodong Army in the entire anti-encirclement and suppression battle finally had a result.
"Commander, four combat battalions, plus a guard company. reconnaissance company, recruit baggage battalion, artillery battalion, cavalry battalion...... A total of 1,427 people were killed and 157 seriously wounded. 243 people were slightly injured...... Among them, the two battalions of Zhou Qiangsheng and Zhang Shanlin suffered the greatest losses, and almost all of the six combat companies were disabled......"
"The only thing that is good is that because we have a field hospital, more than 100 wounded do not have to wait to die as before...... According to the field hospital report, more than 60 percent of all seriously wounded were able to recover and return to the ...... unit."
"The recovery of more than 200 lightly wounded soldiers is also very good, and it hardly affects the combat effectiveness ......"
"However, in addition to the heavy casualties of the troops. The garrisons in the area of engagement also suffered heavy losses...... A total of 381 people were killed, 57 were seriously wounded and 114 were slightly wounded......"
"In addition to this, we lost 429 rifles, 7 heavy machine guns, and 5 Madsen light machine guns, and consumed 153,000 rounds of ammunition...... In particular, light and heavy machine gun ammunition, the reserves of the 1st and 4th battalions, were almost completely depleted......"
Speaking of which, the wind changed in the middle of the week. continued: "Although the losses were large, the results were also very large, not only to replenish the losses, but also to have a lot of surplus. ”
"Lao Maozi has a division of 6,924 people. Except for the 681 people who were captured by us, all the other old Maozi were wiped out by us...... Among them, 18 mountain guns of a mountain artillery battalion of Lao Maozi were captured, 29 heavy machine guns of four heavy machine gun companies were captured, and other heavy machine guns were destroyed by artillery fire on the battlefield. Other than that. A total of 4,186 long and short guns of various types were also seized, and the rest were blown up. ”
"Of course, if you send them to the repair shop that has just been formed and assemble seven or eight hundred rifles, there will still be no problem......
"In terms of ammunition, there were 1,000 rounds of artillery shells, more than 56,000 rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition, and more than 325,000 rounds of ammunition for other rifles......
Hearing this, Yang Xingguo's solemn face, which was solemn because of the large casualties, finally showed a smile of relief.
After thinking about it, he said to Zhou Zhongju: "Leave five hundred rifles, three heavy machine guns, two mountain guns, plus one base ammunition." All other warehousing ...... Wait for the full strength of the troops, and then equip the troops......"
Although Yang Xingguo was a man of his word in the Liaodong Army, he took out so many weapons at one time, including mountain artillery and heavy machine guns. As the chief steward of the Liaodong Army, Zhou Zhongju couldn't help but ask: "Commander, these weapons are ......?"
"For General Shengjing, as for the reason, keep it secret for ......the time being," Yang Xingguo did not hide it, and replied directly.
Zhou Zhongju nodded to indicate that he knew, and then took out a list again and handed it to Yang Xingguo.
After Yang Xingguo took the list and began to browse the intermediate content, Zhou Zhongju said.
"Commander, all the things you asked me to check have been clarified......
"In the entire Liaozhong, there are a total of 38 landlords and gentry involved. With the evidence we got from Lao Maozi, we have all obtained real evidence from these 38 landlords and gentry to prove that they colluded with Lao Maozi, became traitors, and betrayed their ancestors......"
At this time, Yang Xingguo's face instantly became gloomy.
After a strong murderous aura slowly emanated from Yang Xingguo's body, Yang Xingguo said very decisively: "It's time to settle accounts with them, otherwise, these people should think that our Liaodong Army is easy to bully......"
"Also, if they hadn't helped Lao Maozi, my Liaodong Army's losses this time wouldn't have been so big?"
Seeing the murderous aura emanating from Yang Xingguo's body, Zhou Zhongju immediately had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked Yang Xingguo with a worried face: "Commander, then how are you going to deal with them?" ”
"Of course it's blood debt, blood tastes ......," Yang Xingguo blurted out without thinking about it.
Zhou Zhongju's biggest worry is that Yang Xingguo will kill on a large scale.
Therefore, as soon as Yang Xingguo finished speaking, Zhou Zhongju hurriedly reminded: "Please think twice, commander...... Although these people are innocent, there are too many of them after all...... If there is a big killing, I am afraid that Liaozhong, which has just stabilized, will become turbulent again......"
Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied: "No, I won't kill them back......"
"But the means by which I am going to deal with them are more painful than killing them......"
Seeing that the worry on Zhou Zhongju's face had not diminished because of his answer, Yang Xingguo continued.
"Don't these landlords and gentry want to find Lao Maozi and be traitors? Then we'll help them all and send them all to Lao Maozi, so that Lao Maozi can clean them up......"
Hearing this, Zhou Zhongju couldn't help but shudder......
Yang Xingguo was right, giving them to Lao Maozi was definitely more uncomfortable for them than killing them.
Because, Lao Maozi's division was wiped out, and in all fairness, it was caused by their instigation.
At this moment, Lao Maozi, who had lost a division, was in a state where there was fire and nowhere to start.
Send them over now, and the anger that the old man is holding back in his heart will undoubtedly be all on them.
Lao Maozi is not the Liaodong Army, nor is it the imperial court, they are ruthless and can do anything...... (To be continued.) )
