Because Cixi had been prepared for a long time, as soon as the recital from the Fengtian General's Mansion reached the capital, the imperial court reacted as soon as possible. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Russians, who were ready to take this opportunity to blackmail the imperial court, had to swallow the anger and dissatisfaction in their hearts back into their stomachs.

Because, the cunning Cixi directly picked up this attack and had nothing to do with the imperial court.

And the Russians could not find any reason to blackmail the imperial court.

Once he is reckless and forcibly asks the person in charge of the court of the Qing Dynasty, the court will send troops to Liaodong to suppress the bandits in reply.

How could the Russians, who already regarded Liaodong as their own bag, allow the imperial army's troops to enter Liaodong and further aggravate the chaos in Liaodong.

As a result, the Russians who wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail the Qing court had to stop and retaliate against Yang Xingguo by their own means.

The Russians did not benefit from the court's timely response, but the Empress Dowager Cixi received a great deal of praise for her handling of the matter.

Of course, Yang Xingguo, who was far away in Liaodong, also got what he wanted, the appointment document of the imperial court's Qipin regiment.

As for Cixi's assurance, Liang Cheng passed it on to him, Liang Cheng directly took it as a deaf ear.

After all, no one knows when and under what circumstances Yang Xingguo's next intersection with Cixi will take place.

After a few days of sorting, almost all of the hundreds of rents in Yangjiatun, which had fallen into disrepair, were demolished and rebuilt when the Yangjiazhai regiment trained enough manpower.

In less than ten days, rows of barracks mixed with civil engineering appeared in Yangjiatun.

At the same time, a large area of vacated land was also built into a training ground by Yang Xingguo.

Yangjiatun, which has been abandoned for two years, has been renovated, and the establishment of Yangjiazhai group training has also undergone earth-shaking changes in the past ten days.

The day after Yang Xingguo returned to Yangjiatun, a long-thought plan for the expansion and reorganization of the army appeared in the hands of Wang Hu, Zhao Zhigang and others.

On the basis of the battalion, the Yangjiazhai regiment was officially expanded into a regiment.

The regiment has three combat battalions, a guard company, a reconnaissance company, a sniper platoon, an artillery company, a heavy machine gun company, a recruit baggage company, and a staff office......

The three combat battalions have three combat companies, a guard platoon, a reconnaissance platoon, a sniper squad, a heavy machine gun platoon, and a baggage platoon......

Each combat company consisted of three combat platoons, a guard squad, a reconnaissance squad, a Madsen light machine gun squad, and a baggage squad.

Each combat platoon consisted of three combat squads, a platoon commander, for a total of forty people. Equipped with 39 Mosin Nagant rifles and four Mauser pistols, of which all squad leaders were equipped with two guns, one long and one short......"

The light machine gun squad was armed with three Madsen light machine guns. The heavy machine gun platoon was armed with three Maxim heavy machine guns. The heavy machine gun company was armed with nine heavy machine guns. Guard companies, reconnaissance companies are equipped with light machine-gun squads. All company commanders and officers above the company commander level are armed with revolvers......

Those officers under Yang Xingguo, as long as they read this plan, there is no one who disagrees.

Because, in accordance with this plan, the firepower of each combat company in the Yangjiazhai regimental training organized according to this plan far exceeds that of Lao Maozi.

Although Yangjiazhai regimental training is far inferior to the well-trained old Maozi in terms of combat effectiveness. However, when it comes to the battlefield, especially in this kind of company-to-company skirmish, Yangjiazhai regimental training can completely make up for its lack of training with powerful machine gun firepower......

More importantly, in addition to light and heavy machine guns, the Mosin Nagant rifles and Mauser pistols that Yang Jiazhai had stockpiled through capture could already meet the needs of army expansion and reorganization.

As for the recruits, it's even more sufficient.

The recruits brought back by Wang Hu were more than 100 surplus to meet the needs of all the combat units, and they were directly assigned to the recruit baggage company for training and replenishment of the combat units at any time.

As a result, while the entire Yangjiazhai regiment was training to build a camp in Yangjiatun, the three combat battalions and several directly subordinate companies were also reorganized.

More than 1,000 soldiers began training in a company.

The eight light machine guns that Yang Xingguo ordered from a German foreign company more than a month ago have finally arrived.

With the continuous expansion of strength and the continuous improvement of Yang Xingguo's vision, the seven light machine guns that William sent to him could no longer make Yang Xingguo so happy that he couldn't sleep well for a few days as he did at the beginning.

After carefully inspecting the seven light machine guns sent by William, Yang Xingguo directly brought William into the headquarters to discuss a larger business.

According to the statistics of the mid-week example, in order to meet Yang Xingguo's standard in terms of firepower, there is still a shortage of 15 heavy machine guns and 25 light machine guns in the reorganized Yangjiazhai regimental training......

It is absolutely impossible to obtain such a large number of light and heavy machine guns simply by capturing them.

Especially the Madsen light machine gun, in the case that Lao Maozi is not equipped, even if Yang Xingguo wants to capture it, there is no way to seize it.

In this way, the only way for Yang Xingguo to obtain these light and heavy machine guns is to buy them.

"Mr. William, the Madsen light machine gun is very useful, I still want to buy it in large quantities, I don't know if there is a problem......" Facing William, a German, Yang Xingguo did not hesitate and said straight to the point.

Subsequently, Yang Xingguo seemed to think of something. Immediately took out the appointment document that the imperial court had just given him, and continued.

"Mr. William, I know you've always been worried about my identity...... To tell you the truth, I am not a bandit, but an official of the Qing Dynasty...... This is the appointment document given to me by the imperial court, and the army I have formed is approved by the imperial court. Therefore, you don't have to worry about selling your weapons to bandits, which will affect the reputation of the foreign company......"

What is Yang Xingguo's specific identity, after the problem that has been bothering him was solved, William, who was sitting in front of Yang Xingguo, obviously sighed.

Then, he subconsciously asked: "Lord Yang, I don't know how many light and heavy machine guns you plan to buy this time......

"Ten heavy machine guns, thirty light machine guns...... 100,000 rounds ......of ammunition for heavy machine guns, and 30,000 rounds for light machine guns," Yang Xingguo didn't think about it, so he told the numbers that he had already thought of in his heart......

As a successful businessman, William's sensitivity to numbers is definitely more than the average person.

In the blink of an eye, William calculated the total price of these light and heavy machine guns.

"Lord Yang, according to the purchase price of the last time...... Ten heavy machine guns are 35,000 taels, 30 light machine guns are 60,000 taels, 100,000 heavy machine gun bullets are 100,000 taels and 10,000 taels of silver, a total of 105,000 taels, however, as an old friend, I can get the price to 100,000 taels......"

"One hundred thousand taels of silver plus fifty Mauser pistols...... Can it be a deal, or a delivery payment......" Yang Xingguo said after a short period of contemplation.

Fifty Mauser pistols is the price of a light machine gun, and William, of course, will not object.

"Lord Yang, the deal is ...... Hope we have a happy cooperation...... But even though you are an official of the Qing Dynasty, the rules of our foreign bank cannot be broken...... According to the regulations, you must pay a deposit of 20,000 taels of silver......"
