Since these Japanese no longer posed a threat to the Liaodong Army, Zhou Zhongju's nervous heart was also relaxed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, as the chief steward of the Liaodong Army, Zhou Zhongju did not forget to remind Yang Xingguo when he left, and while the Japanese still believed in him, he extorted some silver, weapons and ammunition from the Japanese.

General Shengjing's Mansion, General Shengjing Zengqi, the mood in the past two months can be described as very good.

Buying weapons and equipment for the new army, although it cost a lot of money of its own.

However, in Zengqi's opinion, the silver is definitely very well spent.

The new army changed its outfit and formed combat effectiveness, and as General Sheng Jing, Zengqi's waist pole directly stiffened a lot.

Of course, that's not the most important thing.

Because of the new army, Zengqi often took advantage of the fire to rob the surrounding areas of Shengjing, and even beat the bandits he wanted, so he was no longer soft.

In the past two months, the Forces nouvelles have made five sorties in a row, eliminating a total of five bandits.

not only completely cleaned up the security around Shengjing and won a good reputation for himself, but also brought back a lot of money and food to himself through seizure.

The silver captured alone is enough to offset all the costs of buying equipment for yourself.

In the face of one benefit after another, especially the income from money and food, if Zengqi is in a bad mood, it will be abnormal.

At this moment, Zeng Qi was thinking with a thoughtful face, thinking about whether the new army would attack again and go farther outside Shengjing City to suppress the bandits, so as to bring himself more income in terms of money and food.

At this moment, the old housekeeper suddenly pushed the door in and said to Zengqi.

"My lord, Lord Liang of Anshan County is here...... Because you have explained before, I have already brought Lord Liang to the living room, and I don't know if the master is going to see him immediately......"

"See, of course I want to see, and I'll see you right away......," Zeng Qi said subconsciously, a pair of eyes also shot out two eyes full of heat.

In Zengqi's opinion. Although he has only a few connections with Liang Cheng, every time Liang Cheng comes, he almost brings some benefits to himself.

If there is no Liang Cheng. It will be impossible for the new army to change its outfit and form combat effectiveness, and as for itself, it will not be able to have such a good situation as it is now.

Therefore, after hearing the news of Liang Cheng's arrival, Zeng Qi subconsciously thought. This Liang Cheng must have brought benefits to himself again.

In the living room of General Shengjing's Mansion, after the two of them greeted each other, Liang Cheng did not hesitate and said directly.

"My lord, the lower official got a very important news from the Liaodong Army, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he came to the General's Mansion as soon as possible to report to you......"

"What's important?" Seeing the serious expression on Liang Cheng's face, it didn't look like a joke, and Zengqi's face also became serious.

A pair of eyes stared at Liang Cheng tightly, waiting for Liang Cheng to follow.

Soon. Liang Chengcheng continued to speak: "Xiaguan learned from Yang Xingguo of the Liaodong Army that in three months, the Japanese will launch an attack on the Russian army stationed in Liaodong and compete with the Russian army for control of Liaodong. “

As the actual manager of Liaodong, Zengqi is speechless in Liaodong. However, such a big thing happened in Liaodong, and it was also closely related to the two great powers, Japan and Russia. It's impossible for Zengqi not to pay attention to it.

Therefore, as soon as Liang Cheng finished speaking, Zeng Qi's brows furrowed.

Facing Liang Cheng, he asked solemnly and seriously: "Is the news true...... Lord Liang. You must know that this matter is not only related to Liaodong, but also to the imperial court and the two powers, and it must be cautious and cautious......"

"The lower officials dare to vouch for ...... with their lives," said this. Liang Cheng immediately told what happened to him at the headquarters of the Liaodong Army.

Zengqi can become the general of Shengjing, and his political mind is not simple at all.

After only a short period of contemplation, he said to Liang Cheng: "This Yang Xingguo intends to fish in troubled waters during the war between the Japanese and the Liaodong Army...... It's really not ordinary......

"However, as long as the Liaodong Army is actually sufficient, and Yang Xingguo has a proper layout. Even if you can't drive the forces of the two powers out of Liaodong, you can still grab a lot of things from the mouths of the two powers......"

"Still. Once the struggle between the two great powers of Japan and Russia ends, the Liaodong Army will have to face the joint encirclement and suppression of the two powers, and no one can be sure what the final result will be......"

"Your Excellency is wise......" Liang Cheng hurriedly said complimentally.

Then, he continued to Zengqi: "It is precisely when Yang Xingguo of the Liaodong Army saw this that he entrusted the lower officials to find the lord, hoping that the lord could play the imperial court with the lower officials, so that the imperial court could give the Liaodong army some support......"

"Yang Xingguo is confident that as long as he has the support of the imperial court, he will be able to be a good fisherman in the bloody war between Japan and Russia, and strive for as many interests as possible for the imperial court, so that the imperial court will become the biggest beneficiary."

"If it is possible, it would be best to drive all the forces of the two powers, Japan and Russia, out of Liaodong......

"Of course, in order to prevent the two powers, Russia and Japan, from grasping the tricks that are unfavorable to the imperial court, the imperial court does not need to really send troops to support the Liaodong Army, or directly support the weapons, ammunition and other materials of the Liaodong Army..."

"The Liaodong Army has just eliminated a Russian division and has suffered heavy losses, and it urgently needs a large number of troops to replenish its troops and restore its strength......"

However, the population outside the border is limited, and there are even fewer people who are willing to serve as soldiers to fight Lao Mao. With these people alone, it is impossible to restore the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army at all......" Yang Xingguo hopes that the adults can move the imperial court and publicize the achievements of the Liaodong Army in the Guannei, so that the Liaodong Army will be famous all over the world. At the same time, he called on all people of insight and officers and men in the customs to voluntarily go out of the customs to join the Liaodong Army and fight Lao Maozi......"

"In this way, the imperial court does not need to give out a tael of silver, and there is no handle that can be caught by the two powers, Russia and Japan, so that the Liaodong Army can quickly recover its strength......"

"If the Liaodong Army recovers its strength, it can serve the imperial court and strive for more benefits for the imperial court in the Russo-Japanese War that is about to break out!"

"And even if the Liaodong Army fails, the imperial court will not have any losses."

"Not only that, but the imperial court will also gain a lot of popular ...... through this matter"

Seeing that Zeng Qi had been silent all along, Liang Cheng's words changed and continued: "Of course, Yang Xingguo of the Liaodong Army also said that he would not let the adults help in vain......"

"Yang Xingguo promised that as long as the adults can move the imperial court and let the imperial court support the Liaodong Army, Yang Xingguo will send five hundred rifles and three heavy machine guns to the new army to increase the combat effectiveness ......of the new army."

In addition, Yang Xingguo also said...... If you can say that the soldiers outside the Guanxi will voluntarily join the Liaodong Army, as long as there are enough of them, Yang Xingguo will also send you two mountain guns and fifty shells from the captured Russian army......"

"As far as the lower officials know, this kind of mountain artillery is rarely equipped even with the Beiyang New Army in the Guannai......"

"Even if you have to buy it with silver, a cannon will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, and it will be difficult to buy ......"

At this time, Zeng Qi, who had been silent, finally moved.

However, he didn't give Liang Cheng any reply right away.

Yang Xingguo's remuneration for himself is indeed very generous. However, as an important minister of the imperial court and an excellent politician, Zengqi also has his own ambitions. In addition to getting these rewards, he also has to consider maximizing his own interests......

This matter is so big, and it happens in your own jurisdiction, as long as you do it properly, you are likely to earn yourself a very huge amount of political capital. (To be continued.) )
