Naokami Matsubara smiled softly on his face: "Kobayashi-kun, let's just say it, I really don't have anything to do with the army of the Great Japanese Empire!" Yang Xiaolin said: "Oh, that's a pity. Don't hide it from Mr. Matsubara, I found a bag from a Russian some time ago, and that bag contained some information about the Russians, and I wanted to see if your Japanese army was interested in these things, and wanted to sell him to Japan, since Matsubara-kun has nothing to do with the Japanese army, then forget it. I'll ask the others if they want it another day, but I can't sell it to those newspapers, xiexie, your gun, I'll go first. ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Xiaolin turned around and left, and went straight to Songyuan, but at this time he hurriedly shouted: "Wait! Kobayashi-kun, what kind of information are those? ”

Of course, Yang Xiaolin will not really go, this bag is an opportunity for him. He stood still, leaned slowly towards Matsubara, as if saying something confidential: "Mr. Matsubara, this is a big secret!" It turns out that the Russians are going to build a fortress with us in order to fight you Japanese! The information says about some of the fortresses that the Russians are going to build! Forget it, I won't tell you, you're just a ronin who comes to beg for a living, and it's nothing to do with you. ”

Naokami Matsubara's expression obviously changed a little, and Yang Xiaolin hadn't told him that it also involved some military preparations for the Russian army to prepare for the Japanese attack. However, in Matsubara's opinion, it is impossible for a small bandit to have the ability to go to the Russo-Japanese War.

His intuition told him that the document in Yang Xiaolin's hand might be very important to the Great Japanese Empire!

"Cough, cough, Brother Yang doesn't know, although I don't have any direct contact with the army of the Japanese Empire, but I have some friends who are in the Japanese military department, can you show me those things, let me ask my friends, if they are interested, I believe Brother Yang will be able to sell them at a price that you can't even think of."

When Naokami Matsubara said this, he was already holding Yang Xiaolin's shoulders, and he was half a head shorter than Yang Xiaolin, and this posture looked a little funny.

Yang Xiaolin seemed to be very surprised: "Really? That's great, I'll go get it now, Mr. Matsubara is here to wait for me a little bit. ”

Naokami Matsubara nodded and personally sent Yang Xiaolin to the door. After Yang Xiaolin returned to his room all the way, he woke up Kong who was still sleeping on the table: "Staff Officer Kong, get up quickly, bring me that bag." ”

Kong raised his head at the ground, and glanced at Yang Xiaolin very hazy: "Mr. Zong, are you awake?" ”

"Wake up! I've all gone out for a spin, where's my bag? It's the one that was taken from the Russians. ”

Kong stood up and took out the bag from under the bed: "Don't worry, I know you take this very seriously, so help you collect it." ”

Yang Xiaolin took the bag over: "I just made a deal with Little Japan, I will give them some of the things in it, and see if they can provide us with some instructors." ”

"Instructor?"

Kong Landing was a little surprised, Yang Xiaolin nodded: "Well, I have decided, after going back this time, I will use a winter time to let our brothers become a real warrior like those Japanese!" Also, tidy up the stockades and tunzi around our Lulu Mountain, and we must have a base of our own! That piece of land, if you don't listen to the court in the future, listen to us. ”

Kong Landing's sleepiness was completely gone: "Mr. General, are you going to officially pull up the banner and do it with the imperial court?" ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled: "It's done, but it's still too early to pull the flag, and when our base has a look, the team is almost there, and then tear this layer of skin, at that time, we won't be bandits, let's be anti-thieves!" ”

As he spoke, he had already taken out a few documents from his bag, these were just the situation of the fortress that the Russians were about to build, and Yang Xiaolin only planned to sell these to the Japanese first. …,

Because sooner or later the Japanese will know where the Russian fortresses are being built, and as soon as the construction starts, there will be no secrets to speak of. In other words, this document has a period of effect, and he does not intend to sell the real Russian war jihua, and those things may be more valuable in the future, and of course they may become worthless. It doesn't matter, even if Yang Xiaolin doesn't do business, he understands that hoarding always has to take risks.

Kong Landing obviously agrees with Yang Xiaolin's concept of not pulling the banner: "Always be wise, accumulate grain, and slowly become king." ”

Yang Xiaolin glanced at him: "Where is this?" Don't pull it together! I thought that we had to build our own system first, and the energy would continue to come in to support us to fight a big battle. ”

Kong Landing's eyes were a little confused, he seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand! Yang Xiaolin looked at him and said, "Let's put it this way, I want to let the people who follow us be fed!" Follow us with an iron heart. I'm going to build a school in our base! We're going to have our own arsenal! Only when these things are done can we have the qualifications to fight for the world. ”

Kong Landing's face changed: "Mr. Zong, does this cost a lot of money?" ”

Yang Xiaolin was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't considered the issue of money, and now that Kong Landing said it, Yang Xiaolin suddenly realized that whatever he wanted to do well in these few things, all he needed was a huge number.

Yang Xiaolin has completely regarded himself as a bandit, what should the bandit do if he has no money? He took the two documents and made a slight pause in mid-air, and then nodded: "Well, we have to do a big deal." ”

The two pages were placed in front of Naogami Matsubara, and the document was written in Russian, but Naogami Matsubara's did not need to be translated at all, and he could understand it if he took it himself! Yang Xiaolin knew that this was not as good as the other party.

Less than a thousand words, he read it for more than ten minutes, he tried his best to read every sentence on it, and capture the literal, and the message behind the literal! After he finished reading it, Yang Xiaolin could already see the excitement on his face.

"Kobayashi-kun, are there just these two?"

Yang Xiaolin said: "There are still some more, a total of more than 50 pieces of paper, my two are samples, Mr. Songyuan help me see, how much can they sell?" ”

Naokami Matsubara returned the two pieces of paper to Yang Xiaolin: "Xiaolin-kun, is this good, you can sell these directly to me and make a price." ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled, looking quite righteous: "Mr. Songyuan is out of sight, just like you said, we are friends, if you need it, just take it!" It's just the instructor's business, and I ask Mr. Matsubara to take care of it. ”

"Okay, Brother Yang is really refreshing, so let's do it, there are a few of these people around me who have served in the army, I will send ten people to go to Yulu Mountain with you, they will be responsible for training the troops for you this winter, I promise that you will be satisfied in the spring of next year."

Yang Xiaolin shook his head: "No, twenty officers, there can't be less." ”

Naokami Matsubara stared at him for a moment, then said, "Yes." ”

After sending Yang Xiaolin away, he leaned back on the chair behind him, let out a long breath, opened his table, and took out a small bottle from it, which was filled with Japanese sake.

Matsubara is a big drinker, but he doesn't like Chinese wine, just like he looks down on Chinese people from the bottom of his heart. He doesn't want to drink alcohol he doesn't like with people he doesn't like. So every time the bandits drank, he was the first to "get drunk".

He took out a white ceramic cup from a drawer, poured a glass into the cup, and Matsubara tasted it slowly, in his opinion, the way these bandits drank wine was obviously an insult to wine, and the wine had to be tasted slowly to taste the taste, just like Japanese sake. …,

His eyes were a little misty, and he was constantly thinking about some questions in the middle of his head. Once this information was submitted to the Japanese military department, if it was confirmed to be true, he would be rewarded, which was an honor for a samurai who served the emperor.

It's just that Yang Xiaolin made Songyuan a little uneasy. Judging from this person's request to send him an instructor, he will definitely not be willing to be a bandit for the rest of his life! There is another person in this part of western Liaoning who is unwilling to be a bandit for a lifetime, and that is Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Zuolin has clearly rejected his request for cooperation, will this Yang fight ghost be the second Zhang Zuolin?

Songyuan's fingers tapped lightly on the wine glass, and through today's contact with Yang Xiaolin, he felt that this person could still be wooed. But there was always something in Yang Xiaolin's body that he couldn't see through.

"Report!"

Nao Aso came in from the outside and stood straight at the door. Matsubara put down the cup in his hand: "Aso-kun, is there something wrong?" ”

Aso handed him a document: "Your Excellency, this is the information we have just received, the Manchu government and the Russians have suspended negotiations on the withdrawal of troops. ”

"Oh? What is the rationale? ”

"The Russians' condition was that the Qing Dynasty must exterminate the two bandits, Yang Xiaolin and Feng Delin, before they were willing to start negotiations again."

Aso continued: "From the information we have received, the Manchu government has mobilized 60,000 troops from Guannai to prepare to encircle and suppress the mountains at the beginning of spring, and their commander is the Shengjing general Zengqi, and the Russians will also send troops to act in conjunction with the Qing army. ”

After hearing this, Naokami Matsubara slowly stood up and turned around twice in front of his desk: "Are you sure they are playing on the mountain?" Isn't it Gaojiatunzi? ”

Aso Nao said: "It's Yulu Mountain, not Gaojiatunzi!" ”

Naokami Matsubara gently shook the wine glass in his hand: "It seems that I want to help the mountain." Aso, I'll give you a task, tomorrow you take two squadron leaders, seventeen squad leaders and that Yang Dagui back to Yulun Mountain, this winter, you are responsible for training the bandits on Yulu Mountain! If they can block the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army and the Russians next year, I will ask the military department for credit! ”

Aso Nao didn't agree, with an angry look on his face: "Your Excellency, I don't want to be with these Qing Dynasty people anymore, I am a soldier, and my position should be the battlefield!" I think that if we have extra weapons, we should arm more of our Japanese youth, and not give these Qing Dynasty people! I'd rather go back home to train new recruits! ”

"Yaga!"

Naogami Matsubara didn't explain, raised his hand and first slapped two slaps on Aso's face: "Don't you know that it was the emperor's order to let you come to the Qing Dynasty?" ”

Aso didn't move when he was beaten, and when he was beaten, he still didn't speak.

Naokami Matsubara shook his somewhat aching wrist: "Soon we are going to fight the Russians, these people will be our cannon fodder in the future, they can die for our soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire!" If you train a bandit, we may sacrifice one less soldier loyal to the emperor in the future! ”

Aso Nao heard him say this, and then he lowered his head: "Hayi! ”

Naokami Matsubara was satisfied, and a smile appeared on his face: "Yang Xiaolin can make the Russians give up Feng Delin and kill him first, there must be something that makes the Russians afraid, Aso, you have to be responsible for observing this person this time, I am very curious, what will he do next." ”

In Liaoyang, more than 200 kilometers north of Gaojiatunzi, the Russian General Akberlil also said the same question about Yang Xiaolin at this time: "Your Excellency Commander, I can clearly tell you not to treat that Yang Dagui as an ordinary bandit!" After our jihua fell into his hands, he had a good chance of leaking it to the Japanese! We had to make adjustments to the deployment now! ”…,

Lopatkin glanced at Akberil at this time: "Okay, you should know that the original report has been typed, and now the whole of Russia is gathering supplies for us in the direction and quantity we said before, at this time you asked me to give another report saying that the original plan must be changed and everything must be started again, is it just because a clerk accidentally lost a bag and was taken by a bandit?" My dear Akberlil, this is not a good idea. ”

General Akberlir lay his hands on the commander's desk: "Your Excellency, Commander, we can't be afraid to take responsibility and hide the truth, that will kill many Russian soldiers!" If you don't report it, please allow me to report this matter to my superiors, and I will bear all the responsibility alone! ”

Lopatkin shrugged his shoulders: "I've said what I have to say, Akberil, if you want to do it, do it, I can assure you that no one will accept your opinion." ”

In fact, Akberil also knows very well that if Japan and Russia go to war, this area will be full of artillery fire, and it will be a big battle. And once a big battle starts, it is very difficult to turn around in the middle, which requires more manpower and material resources!

The high-ranking generals above did not realize the horror of the Japanese at all, and they did not realize how sinister the current environment was for Russia, and they despised Japan in their hearts, just like the commander, even if they knew that Jihua had leaked, but the commander still insisted that as long as they built the fortress themselves, the Japanese would not be able to defeat it.

His hopes of getting the upper echelons to change their attention were slim, but Akberil was not willing to give up, and he was trying to convince them.
