"Minister Yan, I'm sorry, my second uncle is too anxious. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info However, the words of the second uncle are also what I want to say, I hope Minister Yan can think about it carefully......" As soon as Zhou Zhongju left, Yang Xingguo apologized.

Hearing Yang Xingguo say this sentence with his own ears, for Yan Bing, it has more weight than saying it in the middle of the week.

For a while, Yan Bing's flushed face turned even redder than just now, he lowered his head, and didn't say a word for a long time.

At this time, Yang Xingguo hurriedly broke this embarrassing atmosphere and said: "Minister Yan doesn't need to answer me now......"

"On this trip to Sichuan, in addition to the escort of the guards I just had, in order to ensure safety, you can only bring two kinds of rifles with 100 shots each, and in addition, you can also bring a heavy machine gun, a mountain gun, and a field gun respectively."

"In troubled times, if we bring too many weapons and ammunition with us, it will inevitably attract the attention of some careerists and make dangerous moves that we can't think of."

Yan Bing looked at Yang Xingguo with a grateful face and replied, "Yes, I listen to the commander." “

Seeing that Yan Bing completely accepted his kindness, Yang Xingguo could be said to be in a good mood.

Just as he was about to say something, Zhou Zhongju, who had just left, walked in again and said with an embarrassed face: "Commander, excuse me, there is a lieutenant general from the Japanese army, who wants to be frank with us, about the prisoners in our hands." ”

When it came to business, Yang Xingguo's face immediately became extremely serious, and he said to Zhou Zhongju: "The current ordinary soldiers of the Japanese army are not very deeply affected by militarism, and the status of ordinary soldiers in the army is very low, and it is a common thing to be oppressed. Deputy commander, see if you can move some people from among the prisoners to serve us, and form a few Japanese regiments like the Russian prisoners. “

"I can give it a try!" With the experience of capturing the Russian army anyway, this time the midweek move is much more confident.

But after thinking about it, he still asked: "Commander, I don't understand why you let the prisoners of the Japanese and Russian armies work for us, is it really to save hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in pensions." ”

Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied: "Saving money is only one aspect, as for other effects, I haven't thought of it yet." It seems to me that it doesn't take much effort to form these regiments anyway. Since you can use it sooner or later, it is better to build it now, just in case you need it. ”

What Yang Xingguo didn't expect was that he would be prepared for emergencies today and would really play a big role in the coming day, and it would be a big role in saving the Liaodong Army at a critical juncture of life and death for the Liaodong Army.

Seeing that Yang Xingguo didn't want to say anything, Zhou Zhongju changed his tone and continued to ask: "I'll arrange for someone to recruit among the Japanese prisoners now, it's just that the major general sent by the Japanese army is outside, Commander, are you seeing or not?" ”

"See him now, meet him right here, bring him in......"

After Zhou Zhongju left, Yan Bing followed and said: "Commander, since you have something, I will go back to Liaozhong to prepare first, and strive to leave for Sichuan in three days!" ”

Unexpectedly, Yang Xingguo shook his head and refused: "The Japanese came to negotiate with us to ask for prisoners." You are the Minister of Economy, you should be very good at negotiations, stay with me against the Japanese, and try to get more benefits from them. ”

After speaking, Yang Xingguo couldn't help but order: "You just stand next to me as my deputy, if there is anything to remind me directly!" ”

When Yan Bing just wanted to refuse, the Japanese negotiator with the rank of major general had already walked in.

Yan Bing could only walk to Yang Xingguo and stand next to him with a helpless face.

Because they are all soldiers, Yan Bing didn't see the kind of red tape in business negotiations. As soon as the Japanese major general came up, he said bluntly: "Commander Yang, after our commander-in-chief interrogated, a division of the Manchurian Army of the Japanese Empire launched an attack on Liaoyang, which was not ordered by the commander-in-chief, but the spontaneous action of the front-line officers. We, the Commander-in-Chief, hope that this military operation, which was not intended to be intended, will not undermine our cooperative relationship. ”

In Yan Bing's view, Japan is a great power after all, and it is one of the most powerful countries in Asia.

Even if you come to negotiate with the Liaodong Army, you will put on a very arrogant posture. Even when he was forced to stay, Yan Bing had already made the decision to be bedding with Yang Xingguo.

However, as soon as the negotiation began, Yan Bing felt that something was wrong.

The Japanese major general in front of him not only did not put on a show, but also put on a posture of begging for help to negotiate with the Liaodong Army.

Is this still the Japanese you remember? Yan Bing was shocked, and secretly thought in his heart.

At the same time, I became interested in this negotiation, which I didn't want to participate in in the first place.

As soon as the Japanese major general finished speaking, Yan Bing looked at Yang Xingguo and saw how Yang Xingguo would react.

At this time, Yan Bing actually saw a trace of the treacherous smile that his father had shown on Yang Xingguo's face.

Without letting the Japanese major general wait too long, Yang Xingguo sneered: "Cooperation? I myself am willing to continue to cooperate with your army, but the officers and men under my command are not willing. In this attack, more than 5,000 officers and men of our Liaodong Army were killed, and even more were wounded and lost their combat effectiveness. ”

"Regardless of whether the order to attack was given by your commander-in-chief or not, the ordinary officers and men of our Liaodong Army have counted this comparison on you Japanese. If you want me to continue to cooperate with you, you can, but you must be satisfied with my soldiers and give an explanation to the families of the more than 5,000 soldiers who died in battle. As long as the soldiers are willing, I, Yang Xingguo, can act as if this incident has not happened. ”

"What does Commander Yang need to explain?" The Japanese major general hurriedly asked.

Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied: "It's not me, it's the families of those soldiers who died in battle and those soldiers who were injured." If you give me an explanation, I'm sure that your Manchurian army will not be able to satisfy my appetite even if you are bankrupt. ”

"Then what can we do to get Commander Yang to give an explanation to his subordinates!" The Japanese major general, who had already realized that he was going to bleed heavily, took a deep breath and asked Yang Xingguo.

Yang Xingguo thought about it and replied: "As you just said, it was not your commander-in-chief's intention to start this war. That being the case, I will not embarrass you. As long as you are willing to pay the death of the soldiers and the compensation of the wounded, I will treat it as if this has never happened! ”

Just now, I was thinking about how to deal with Yang Xingguo's lion mouth, but I didn't expect Yang Xingguo's conditions to be so low.

Therefore, as soon as Yang Xingguo finished speaking, the major general agreed very happily.

"Yes, I don't know what the standard of your army's pension and compensation for wounded soldiers is, how many soldiers in your army were killed and injured in battle."

Yang Xingguo thought about it and replied: "The pension is one hundred and one tael!" The standard of compensation for the wounded soldiers is 50 taels. “

"In order to repel your attack, our Liaodong Army has killed a total of 5,876 people, 1,143 seriously wounded who could not return to the army, and 3,459 other wounded!"

"The seriously wounded who could not return to the army were counted as killed in battle, as long as the Manchurian Army came out with 880,000 taels of silver, I would treat it as if this incident had not happened. As for the weapons and ammunition that the troops lost in battle, I will treat myself as a dumb ......."

Although it is clear that Yang Xingguo must have exaggerated in the casualty figures, this outcome is far lower than the Japanese army's expectations. So, the Japanese major general agreed after only a short contemplation.

When the Japanese major general proposed

When the prisoners were negotiated, they were directly pushed to the next day by Yang Xingguo on the grounds that they were too tired.

After watching this direct and fierce negotiation, Yan Bing said thoughtfully: "Commander, judging from the attitude of the Japanese, even if your asking price is a little higher, the other party will agree." (To be continued.) )
