Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The Japanese army had to be guarded against, and although there were only more than 1,000 Japanese troops and many beards in the valley, they still had to be guarded. The 1st Battalion was positioned at the entrance to the valley to the north at the outset of the siege to prevent the Japanese from intervening in the battle. At the same time, after the artillery fire was prepared, all the mortars were aimed at the Japanese side to the west. When the revival army broke into the encirclement of the Russian army just now, Hanada Nakasa also understood the shape and planned to rush over to fish in troubled waters, but the artillery staring at them here fired a sharp fire a hundred meters in front of them when they were about to break out of the trenches, and more than a dozen shells blocked the entrance to the entire northern river valley. Seeing this posture, Hanada Nakasa immediately canceled the order, planning to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but now seeing that the Fuxing Army was completely in control of the situation, he immediately sent someone to spy on the intentions.
In the last ray of afterglow, the valley north of the Taizi River was full of gunsmoke and mess, piles of Russian prisoners were gathered together under the bayonets, Wang Laishun and a group of soldiers were looking at the corpses, tossing for a long time and the big nose of the horse was not visible, which made Wang Laishun and others very unwilling.
Silly Bao, who is familiar with Wang Laishun, said: "Uncle, I see that this person who killed a thousand knives is estimated to have run away, didn't you say earlier that the second company chased after it, it is estimated that it is there." ”
As if venting his anger, Wang Laishun pierced a Russian soldier who had already died with a bayonet, and scolded: "Damn, don't let me catch this one who kills a thousand knives." ”
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden roar in front of him, "Grab Ma Da's nose, grab Ma Da's nose......" Hearing this voice, Wang Lai didn't want to shoot his gun, and he didn't care about the stupid treasure. I ran straight to the front, only to see a bunch of people surrounding something. Wang Laishun crawled in, and there were two big noses like dead dogs shrunk in the mud in the circle, one of them was wearing a Russian officer's coat, and it seemed that it was Madlitov that Wang Laishun was looking for, and his eyes immediately turned red and he pounced......
Standing on the small high ground on the side of the river valley, Lei Yizhen looked at Tao Dayong, the commander of the second battalion, and asked, "That's how these two officers and colonels were killed?" This is an old hairy officer colonel. ”
Tao Dayong has long regarded these two Russian army officers and colonels as dead men in his heart. said: "What else can you do if you don't do this, who let those big-nosed guys not be good people, when they used to open a timber company in the Yalu River, they had too much enmity with these wooden handlers, and if they were killed, they would be killed, and if they really wanted to leave them alive, it was estimated that they would have to mutiny tomorrow." What do you think these O'Maozi are doing here with us, they don't want wives and children in their own homes? ”
Tao Dayong, like Li Liezu, the commander of the first battalion, was born in the factory protection team. Zhejiang Jinhua people, because he was literate and brave in battle, was promoted to company commander in the first battalion, and now he has become the commander of the second battalion after the expansion of the unit. However, he will soon have to be on temporary duty for training -- in order to improve the tactical quality of in-service officers, Yang Rui deliberately selected some materials that could be made from among the officers who were not from military academies and arranged to study at the Lorenzo Marques Military Academy. Although these people do not know German, the textbooks of military schools are now fixed. With the Chinese version of the textbook and a simultaneous interpreter, you can barely understand the course, but there cannot be more than five people per session, otherwise there will be not enough translators.
Lei Yizhen had no way to explain colonization and other things to him, so he only said, "What are you doing here?" Come here and grab a place. Who would think that they have a lot of land, didn't those lands in the north be robbed in the early years? ”
When Lei Yizhen spoke, Tao Dayong's thoughts went elsewhere. Because it was a total annihilation of this Russian army, a lot of them were captured, four of the six mountain guns were good, and the two that were damaged by the Japanese were intact except for the missing wheels, and there were even more shells; Other than that, there are thousands of rifles. Of course, Tao Dayong has no interest in Lao Maozi's rifle, the rifle he uses is much better than theirs, what do you want to do with that. What he is concerned about now is whether he has caught the Makqin machine gun, which is scarce in the revival army, especially after the expansion of the army, each battalion is divided into less than two.
Lei Yizhen was speechless when he watched Tao Dayong say to his subordinates that the strength of the Makqin machine gun, expecting these hunters to understand the profound things of the country and the nation is delusional, and they are now joining the army not because of the anti-Qing revolution, but to fight against foreign enemies. Thinking of this, Lei Yizhen felt a little better in his heart, even if these people didn't understand any profound truths, but at least they could still distinguish between themselves and foreigners.
At half past seven o'clock in the evening, the results of this battle came out, this ambush annihilated 2,100 Russian troops, of which more than 930 were killed, more than 1,200 were captured, only a hundred Cossack cavalry who explored the way escaped to the north, and these people did not have to worry, the remaining troops of the birch tip would solve them; Four Russian-style mountain guns, more than 800 shells, and more than 2,300 rifles were captured, and the bullets have not been counted for the time being, but it is estimated that there are more than 400,000.
As for the losses of the Baxing Army, one hundred and fifty-three people were killed and three hundred and ten wounded, these losses were basically caused by the confusion of the grassroots command after breaking into the Russian army, and the troops did not attack according to the drill after dividing the Russian army, but rushed forward in one go, 8o% of the casualties were caused by blindly engaging in white-knuckle warfare with the Russian army, although the Renaissance Army attaches importance to white-knuckle warfare, but after all, the physique of the yellow race is there, and an Russian army needs at least two or even three soldiers to deal with. However, Yang Rui has nothing to complain about such battle damage, after all, it is the first time for recruits to fight, and no matter how well he trains, his brain will always be hot on the battlefield. It's just that there are some problems to be solved -- in order to strengthen the firepower, each squad was set at ten people, and each platoon was set at four squads, but now it seems that, according to the plain rules of these soldiers, it is difficult for ten people to be commanded by the squad leader alone in a melee; Then there is the problem of white-knuckle warfare, and the Japanese veterans in the valley just now did not use the European bayonet technique, but the stabbing similar to the Japanese kendo, which was better for the small Oriental than playing the European fancy swordsmanship.
When Yang Rui was thinking about this, the headquarters on the mountain also moved from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain with torches, and the entire army was packing up, packing up the captured materials, and preparing to retreat overnight. Both the Baath Army and the Russian prisoners were picking up the bodies at the place of the white-knuckle battle in the river valley, but the Russian army did it themselves. On the side of the Baxing Army, the baggage logistics unit is in charge.
All the corpses of the Russian army were stripped off their military uniforms and leather boots, but unfortunately it was not winter. Otherwise, after this battle, there will be two or three thousand sets of wool coats. The Japanese soldiers holding torches not far from the East River Valley looked at these Renaissance Army soldiers in green floral clothes with some resentment, which was not surprising, these bearded men of unknown origin not only snatched their prey, but also took away all the supplies in the previous camp of the Russian army. In fact, this is because Yang Rui didn't want to provoke the Japanese before the railway was repaired, otherwise it would not only be Omaozi who would be ambushed.
However, under Hanada Nakasa's strict orders, these Japanese soldiers were very restrained and did not make any provocative moves, and they may not know their situation. But Hanada Nakasa sniffed with his nose and knew that his side must be under the muzzle of the other party's gun. Recalling this kind of strange artillery that has no sound when shooting, he feels creepy, except for some sounds when this cannon falls, there is no way to prevent it, let alone find it fired from there, in the mountains, how terrifying and terrifying this thing is. If you don't know that the other side is Bluebeard, who has been contacted several times before and has not been seen. Like Colonel Madlitov, Hanada suspected that the army in front of him was a demon summoned by the sound of the trumpet.
"Are you sure that the other side has a different opinion?" Hanada asked the herald on his side, he had sent someone to contact the other party's boss again, hoping to meet with the other party to discuss the joint war against Russia, of course, the alliance was just an excuse. The ultimate goal was to bring this powerful army over through guò's guidance and assistance, preferably under the command of Hanada-sama, to serve the great Japanese dogs and horses. It was dusk just now, and although he didn't see the Russian army crying wolf and unable to resist by these bearded ghosts, the battle ended so quickly. Bluebeard's combat power is still very good.
"Yes, Your Excellency Nakasa. The other party said that it was too late. If you have the chance, we'll talk about it next time. The herald repeated the language of Yang Rui's later online chat. After hearing this, Hanada Nakasa waved his hand helplessly and beat the herald.
At about 9 o'clock in the evening of January 9, 19o4, the Renaissance Army returned to camp from the Taizi River Valley to the north. The camp of the Russian army has long been unusable after several battles, and it is not safe to fall asleep if it is too close to the Japanese army, so after packing up and packing, they went to the north gate of the camp in the north of the river valley. At Leo's insistence, the partisan song was not sung, but the Italian folk song "Goodbye, Girl" in the southern European style was sung.
That morning, I woke up from a dream
Ah, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!
One morning, I woke up from a dream,
Foreign devils broke into my hometown.
……
The revival army went away with the singing, but Hanada Nakasa was full of sorrow for the Russian army's empty camp, like a locust crossing the border, and under his compromise, everything that could be used and dismantled in the Russian camp was removed, including the barbed wire that was blown away by the shells and the bullet casings on the ground were picked up, leaving him only a place of gunsmoke.
"Your Excellency, this horse thief is too arrogant, we should teach them some lessons." It was Manchu Taro who spoke, and his mission was to assist Hanada in the integration of the Hu bandits, and Bluebeard was his key target, but his integration work has not made much progress. Previously, he had been persuading Hanada to be friendly to Bluebeard, but Bluebeard's rudeness and disregard for the Japanese army had changed his mind, and he now thought that he should do everything possible to deal with this beard, otherwise they would not be able to take advantage of the future imperial occupation of Manchuria.
Hanada Nakasa said, "No, Tsuruoka-kun. Although this group of bandits is very combative, they are very short of supplies, and can only rely on the annihilation of the enemy army to obtain supplies. As long as they are blocked, then no matter how brave they are, they are just some mountain and forest natives. Now we have to worry about whether the attack of the Lu Kingdom can be repulsed, and whether Lushun will be occupied by the Empire, these are the most important things. The Baltic Fleet of the open country has already set sail, and time is running out for us. ”
Manchuria Taro was dumbfounded, Lushun was too far away to mention it first, now the Russian army of 70,000 troops is pressing the border, and the first army can only fight less than 40,000 people, and the artillery shells are not sufficient, it is very likely that their own side will lose this battle, so it will be a problem for these beards in the future.

The fierce battle between Russia and Japan and the Sand River is on the side, and the outcome is unknown, but Yang Rui has no interest in caring anymore, and now he is discussing the matter of immigration with Zhong Guanguan. This is a hundred-year plan, and if the immigrants do a good job, then this northeast land will be a spark in the future, and it will become a prairie fire. Yang Rui asked, "What does the Bureau of Reclamation say?" ”
"What else can I say? It's not that you don't know those officials, you just need to have silver. This official can only be done for one year. Don't take it for nothing. "Zhong Guanguan is already familiar with things like walking relationships and stuffing red envelopes, starting with running the railway. So far, the money that has gone out of his hands has been more than 100,000 or 200,000. "Now it seems that the whole of Northeast China is going to be divided into nine reclamation bureaus. It's just that Heilongjiang and Jilin are not ready. Only three are now operational. The right bank of the lower reaches of the Yalu River, the right bank of the upper reaches of the Yalu River, and the right bank of the Tumen River. ”
Yang Rui knows these three places without turning over the map, the entire basin of the Yalu River is deep mountains and dense forests, and there are few people, but this is the border with North Korea, and the same is true of the Tumen River, when North Korea was under the control of China in the past, it was okay, but now the Korean people always cross the border to reclaim, if the Chinese do not go. Then sooner or later, something will happen at this border. Moreover, these three places are all controlled by themselves, and the more people who come, the better.
Yang Rui was curious about which places the Qing court would open, so he asked, "What are the other six places?" ”
Zhong Guanguan remembered these key news very clearly, and said, "There are also the Taoer River Basin, the left and right banks of the Heilongjiang River, the upper reaches of the Peony, Suifen, and Muling Rivers, and the two farthest places, one is the left bank of the Ussuri River and the right bank of the Ergun River. ”
In addition to the left and right banks of the Heilongjiang River and the Taoer River. The other three are all on the border, the left bank of the Ussuri River and the upper reaches of the Peony, Suifen, and Muling rivers are okay, but the Erguna River is too far away, and the place is too far away.
Yang Rui thought about it for a while and said, "Let's ignore the six for now, and now take care of the Yalu River and the Tumen River first." There is also the immigration plan that we need to change. I don't think it's okay to care about what happened on the immigration road, my people are only stationed in Dongying and Huangxian in Shandong, and it's good to screen personnel, some dry food, or whatever. On the Liaodong side, from the beginning of Anton, a household was organized into a group, and a camp was set up every dozens of miles to meet it, until the place where the cultivation was settled. There are also more boats to look for. Whether it's a sailboat or a fireboat, try to find as many as you can. Try to get as many people as you can every month. ”
The Revival Society is short of manpower and has to emigrate more in a short period of time, which may be the best way to do it. That's the case, it is estimated that there will be a lot of people in Dongying, Huangxian, and Andong.
Zhong Guanguan said: "Then how many people do we immigrate every year?" ”
Yang Rui said: "It depends on how much money you have." The railroad company's one million this year and two million next year cannot be moved; This year's military expenditure is only 300,000 yuan, but it has to purchase equipment and infrastructure, so there is not a single budget of 2 million yuan left for this year; Next year's membership fee is also 2 million, but next year the army will be expanded, and the military budget will be at least 800,000 yuan, and last year it embezzled 500,000 yuan from the railway company, and this money will have to be made up, so this ......"
Zhong Guanguan said: "Next year, the infrastructure will need money, don't say 500,000, 300,000 is the least." Isn't that only 400,000 for immigration? Thinking of next year's funds, Zhong Guanguan was very anxious, "Actually, is there a spectrum of this treasure?" ”
Seeing that he was in a hurry, Yang Rui said: "The treasure must have a spectrum, but I don't know when I will find it." You can rest assured. Last year, we still have more than 200,000 stone of grain in stock. After a while, you will be able to sell it for a good price. "When the grain was harvested last autumn, the Northeast Office was working hard to collect grain, some of which was for its own use, and the rest was ready to be sold to Lao Maozi.
When Zhong Guan knew about the grain, he said: "What can be sold is only 70,000 or 80,000 stones, how much can it be sold?" ”
Speaking of these tens of thousands of stone grains, Yang Rui laughed and said, "You can rest assured." I promise an extra million for immigration next year. ”
Zhong Guanguan was not satisfied with this amount, and said: "Northeast grain can only be grown once a year, and on average, each immigrant needs to raise it for ten months, and one pound of rice a day is four hundred pounds of rice, and then counting the territory and other miscellaneous things, a person is estimated to cost five or six yuan or more." One million immigrants are less than two hundred thousand, which is too little. ”
Yang Rui knew that he was dead, and said with a smile: "These are homeless people who don't have any savings at all, in fact, many people who come to Kanto have some family savings, if they don't have a penny on their bodies, the family won't be able to go to the beach; Also, the railway will start next year, recruit so many laborers, and give them wages in addition to food and drink, and the rest is also immigration funds, this railway cannot be built for a lifetime, and most people will save their money to share their family business; Then there is the bank, Ningbo businessmen are very famous in Shanghai, and Adege is also very influential in Shanghai, and this bank can absorb a lot of funds, which can be lent to these immigrants in the form of loans. I estimate that the number of immigrants will reach 300,000 next year, and that it will double in the next few years. ”
The Qing court was completely liberal of the financial industry, or the ministers of the court had no concept of finance in their heads, and they knew nothing about banks, they only knew about money banks and pawnshops. Yang Rui knows the power of this bank, in Shanghai, as long as the operation is good, financing is very convenient, in the Republic of China, there are many large and small banks in Shanghai, and now there are few people in China who understand this thing, so the banks in Shanghai are opened by foreigners.
