Chapter 650: Picking Up Ready-Made Ones

At this time, Yang Xingguo already knew what Huang Xing was going to say next. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Huang Xing said thoughtfully: "Then you will use the government guarantee to encourage the merchants to buy farming cattle from Mongolia, and then provide them to the immigrants, and when the immigrants receive the grain, they will pay off the arrears for the purchase of farming cattle little by little." ”

"Commander Wise!" Huang Xing replied in the affirmative.

Speaking of this, Huang Xing seemed to think of something, and continued: "There is another benefit to doing this, which we didn't expect at the beginning. ”

"For more than half a year, every merchant in the territory forgot to invest a lot of money in the immigrants. There are dozens of taels, hundreds of taels, thousands of taels, and even tens of thousands of taels. In order to recoup these investments, these businessmen can only spare no effort to support our Liaodong Army. Because, once our Liaodong Army is finished, the investment in front of them will also be lost. ”

"Interests are bundled, we have tied up more than 100,000 merchants in Liaodong to the huge chariot of our Liaodong Army, and we will be both prosperous and loss-oriented." Yang Xingguo said in one sentence the relationship between the Liaodong Army and the merchants in the territory.

Huang Xing nodded in affirmation: "Yes, Commander!" One is prosperous, and one is lost. This was true not only of merchants, but of the hundreds of thousands of workers and millions of immigrants in eastern Liaodong. Without the Liaodong Army, they would have lost their current good days. ”

Such a result is something that Yang Xingguo is happy to see.

In this case, no matter what difficulties the Liaodong Army encountered, it had millions of people behind it. And the army only needs to fight a good battle in the front, and there are no worries at all.

Thinking of these, Yang Xingguo was even more satisfied with Huang Xing.

However, when he thought of the next operation of the Liaodong Army, he still frowned and reminded: "I am not worried at all if you have Governor Huang in spring ploughing." But Governor Huang, you also have to be prepared, at the latest, there will be a large-scale military operation in our Liaodong Army in two months at the latest! ”

Seeing Huang Xing's brows, he subconsciously frowned, and Yang Xingguo hurriedly reminded: "Don't worry, even if there is a war, it is not in Liaodong." If nothing else, after the operation, we will at least double the size of our territory. The reason why you are prepared is that you should prepare enough candidates for government affairs, follow behind the troops, take over the territory issued by the army, and don't make trouble when the time comes. The turf was laid down and no one managed it. ”

Huang Xing's eyes lit up, and he immediately affirmed: "Don't worry, this commander, although the government talents in my hands are not full of talents, it is no problem to transfer some from Liaodong." ”

"I studied in the army a few months ago, and I had one or two deputies around me for each of my main positions. As long as the commander asks for someone, I can immediately transfer the experienced principal post to the newly laid territory, and let their deputies take over the old county town that is already on the right track. It's either that I'm arrogant, or the territory has doubled, and I have people here. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Xing asked tentatively: "Commander, you are going to fight Fengtian." ”

Seeing Yang Xingguo nodding in acknowledgement, Huang Xing immediately became excited, and then affirmed to Yang Xingguo: "Commander, you must take down Fengtian!" ”

Seeing that Huang Xing was also so interested in Fengtian, Yang Xingguo couldn't help but ask: "Why Fengtian, not somewhere else." ”

Huang Xing hurriedly explained: "I have two reasons, Fengtian is the largest city outside the Guan, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in Fengtian City alone, and its prosperity is comparable to several counties in Liaodong. ”

"I'm sure that as long as we can win Mukden, our business development will definitely make great strides."

"There is another good reason, I heard that Xu Shichang, the newly appointed governor of the three eastern provinces of the imperial court, migrated millions of people from Guannai and settled around Mukden, cultivated fertile land, and engaged in large-scale construction. Not to mention anything else, five or six million acres of land have been reclaimed. If we wait for the spring ploughing to take Fengtian, the taxes of millions of acres of fertile land and one million immigrants will belong to our Liaodong Army. ”

Yang Xingguo, who suddenly understood what Huang Xing was thinking, couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It turns out that Governor Huang, you want to eat ready-made!" ”

"However, there is one thing you are right, if we can completely digest Fengtian, it will definitely be a huge improvement for my Liaodong Army as a whole."

"Besides, the million immigrants you just mentioned are just one aspect. As far as I know, in addition to immigration, there are millions of people in Mukden. In addition, Fengtian is the place of dragon prosperity of the imperial court, and there are still a large number of imperial relatives living in the city. ”

"I won't say much about ordinary people, what I'm most interested in are those royal relatives."

"They rose with the imperial court and oppressed the people outside the customs for hundreds of years. The various riches they have accumulated over the centuries must have been astronomical. Although we are not under so much financial pressure now, there are so many fat sheep in front of us, and I must slaughter them well. ”

Yang Xingguo chose to attack Mukden at this time, in addition to what Huang Xing just said, he wanted to pick up ready-made ones, and there was another big reason, that is, the Beiyang Army.

After Xu Shichang took office in the three eastern provinces, the Beiyang Army of the three towns that went out with him directly had two towns arranged in Mukden to defend his Liaodong Army. Then began a massive expansion of the army, and once it expanded, it was the strength of three towns.

Now, Xu Shichang's Beiyang Army of the Three Towns has reached full strength due to the expansion, and if he is allowed to form combat effectiveness, the Liaodong Army will definitely pay a great price if it wants to take Fengtian again.

Therefore, if the Liaodong Army wanted to take Fengtian at the lowest possible cost, it could only launch an attack before the new army of the Three Towns of Beiyang formed its combat effectiveness. Eat all the troops of the Beiyang Army stationed in Fengtian in one bite, cut off the connection between the imperial court and the outside of the Guan, and then encroach on the two provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang step by step, take the entire three eastern provinces, and cultivate internal strength.

In addition, there was another reason why Yang Xingguo decided to send troops within two months.

According to intelligence, in order to arm the newly expanded New Army of the Three Towns to the teeth, Yuan Shikai bought weapons and ammunition of three million taels of silver. Not surprisingly, these weapons and ammunition will be exported to equip the army in the next two months.

If the Liaodong Army launched an attack at this time, then Yuan Shikai would let himself pick up a big bargain for the weapons and ammunition that he bought at a great price.

Ordinary rifles, because Germany has aided a large amount of equipment, the Liaodong Army can already be mass-produced on a small scale, and Yang Xingguo does not look down on it.

However, the Liaodong Army could still use light and heavy machine guns and artillery equipped with several towns.

In the case that he was unable to produce these heavy weapons himself, purchasing and seizing them were also the only two ways for Yang Xingguo to obtain these weapons. Now there are so many heavy weapons that can be obtained without spending money in front of Yang Xingguo, and Yang Xingguo naturally wants to seize them and equip his own Liaodong Army.

After all, after the troops take Mukden, as long as there are no accidents, a new round of army expansion will be ushered in. At that time, even Yang Xingguo, who used to have warehouses full of various weapons and ammunition, would not dislike having too many weapons.
