Zhang Zhidong was thinking in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He said respectfully: "We have an insight into what the Russians may do next. In turn, it will be much easier to find a way to solve it. I dare to ask, sir, if you can take it back." Vladivostok, the idea of taking back the area north of Heilongjiang."
"ah,.
Yi Shan exclaimed, showing a look of astonishment.
He dare not even think about taking back Vladivostok and the area north of Heilongjiang.
After hearing this, Zhang Bu smiled coldly.
Taking back Vladivostok was such a strong tone. He sneered repeatedly in his heart and said in his heart: "Look at your blowing. When the cowhide is broken by blowing, you will be finished." Due to Yishan's order, Zhang Bu did not speak and kept quiet. listen.
Yishan took several deep breaths to calm down, then stared at Zhang Zhidong and said seriously: "Mr. Zhang, are you sure what you just said was not a joke."
Zhang Zhidong cupped his fists and said, "Every sentence is true."
Yishan nodded and fell silent.
After a long time, Yishan said: "Although I have never thought about taking back Vladivostok, or even taking back the area north of Heilongjiang, the emperor has been thinking about it day and night. At the time, the emperor reluctantly ceded a large area of territory to gain it. The Russians support it, but they have always felt uncomfortable in their hearts, and they have not forgotten the territory of their ancestors."
Yishan looked serious and continued: "If we can take back all the territory north of Heilongjiang, it will be the best news for the emperor. For me, this is not just a matter of getting promoted to an official position, but also a matter of merit. It's enough to make me a king, and even give me the treatment of an iron-hatted king. Mr. Zhang, if this matter can be achieved, regardless of my promotion, you will definitely be able to take charge of the center and become a popular person around the emperor. Your future is limitless."
After a pause, Yi Shan added: "Of course, the premise is that this goal can be achieved."
With a smile on his face, Zhang Zhidong said: "As long as you are willing to do it, everything is possible. Since the general has this intention, I will naturally help the general achieve it." Zhang Zhidong was full of talk and painted a grand picture for Yishan. The blueprint came out, which completely frightened Yishan. After a pause, Zhang Zhidong said: "Having said so much, let's get back to the topic and return to the previous question of how to solve the three problems."
Yi Shan said respectfully: "Sir, please speak."
At this time, Corporal Yishan Lixian no longer showed any trace of arrogance or rudeness.
The reason is naturally a piece of cake drawn by Zhang Zhidong.
Zhang Zhidong said: "The problems of money, food and weapons boil down to one thing, which is the problem of money. With money, food and weapons can be purchased."
"Yes, but where can I get the money?" Yishan asked.
Zhang Zhidong replied: "It is definitely not easy to get money. My idea is that starting from the generals, from top to bottom, everyone in the army contributes money to collect military resources. At this critical moment related to the life and death of the Qing Dynasty, everyone should Try your best, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, and for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, everyone should give their full support."
"However, collecting money does not mean taking it and not returning it. It is definitely not appropriate to ask generals and soldiers to donate money. The general can borrow money from the soldiers in the army. Everyone's money is recorded. How much money the soldiers want to borrow, the commander in the army The general borrows as much money as the generals in the army, and the generals in the army borrow as much money, and so on, to collect the money needed by the army."
"Yes, collect money."
Yishan agreed immediately without even thinking about it.
He felt very sad when he thought that he had to pay the money, but when he thought about the treatment of the Iron Hat King, as well as the defeat of Li Zhen and the recovery of Vladivostok and the area north of Heilongjiang, he felt that it was still acceptable. Besides, this was just a loan. It will be returned, and since he has become the Iron Hat King, he can get it back twice as much.
Yishan asked: "Sir, how much do you think is appropriate to raise money for?"
Zhang Zhidong thought about it carefully and said: "General, I am not very familiar with this. After all, I am not familiar with the situation in the army. Lord Zhang is familiar with the situation in the army. It should be formulated by Lord Zhang."
Yi Shan asked: "Zhang Bu, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Zhang Bu calculated it carefully and said: "If you want to borrow money from soldiers, thirty taels of silver per soldier is appropriate. Even if you treat all the generals in the army as soldiers, 30,000 people will still have 900,000 taels of silver. With this sum of money , plus the remaining military rations, etc., it is enough to support the operation of our army. Moreover, if the general, thousand generals, general soldiers, etc. have to pay more silver, after calculation, it will definitely reach more than one million taels of silver. ."
Zhang Zhidong cupped his hands and said: "Master Zhang is worthy of being the person who follows the general. He keeps careful accounts and I admire him."
With this handful, a proud smile immediately appeared on Zhang Bu's face.
Yishan ordered: "Zhang Bu, I leave this matter to you and complete it as soon as possible."
"yes,,."
Zhang Bu replied loudly, with a smile on his face.
To run such an errand, there is a lot of oil and water. If you just take out a little bit from it, it will be countless money. Zhang Bu is very grateful to Zhang Zhidong in his heart. He thinks Zhang Zhidong is so cute. He didn't expect it. What Zhang Zhidong threw to him was not a pie falling from the sky, but a hot potato.
It is easy to borrow money from soldiers.
Zhang Bu left happily, and Zhang Zhidong continued: "As the saying goes, if you don't fly, you will have soared into the sky; if you don't scream, you will have become a blockbuster. The Russians underestimate the general. Please forgive yourself for the time being and follow their wishes while we look for it. If we have the opportunity, move the Russian army to the front and let the Russian army take the lead. This will not only solve the problem of getting along with the Russian army, but also allow the Russian army to fight Li Zhen to the death."
"well,."
Zhang Bu sighed softly and said: "Mr. Zhang, that old bastard Muravyov gave an order for me to lead the army as the vanguard to attack Sankou Pavilion, a military center in the front. He clearly asked us to take the lead."
Zhang Zhidong smiled and said: "General, it can actually be solved very easily."
"What can we do?" Yi Shan asked.
Zhang Zhidong said: "Years ago, there was a news that spread in Vladivostok. The daughter of Tsar Alexander II, Shanapova, was captured by Li Zhen. This Shanapova was the son of Victor Muravyov. I like it, and Victor is now the general of the Russian army. If we want to mobilize the Russian army, we actually mobilize Victor."
"The people posted in Vladivostok sent back the news that Li Zhen transferred Shanapova to Sankou Pavilion. I think this is clearly aimed at Victor. In this case, we will simply inform Victor that once Victor gets According to the news, we are anxious for Shanapova’s safety and will definitely lead troops to rescue her. We can use various reasons to advance slowly while marching. Victor can’t wait any longer, so he will naturally rush there first.”
"Okay, good idea."
Yishan patted his hands in praise and said, "Sir's news has solved a major worry for me."
Zhang Zhidong smiled inwardly and thought, if it wasn't for the sake of gaining your trust, how could he have arranged for someone to transfer Shanapova to Sankou Pavilion? All of this was for Zhang Zhidong to gain a foothold under Yishan's command.
When Zhang Zhidong persuaded Yishan, a large army gathered at Sankou Pavilion hundreds of miles away.
Li Zhen led his soldiers to Sankou Pavilion and placed Shanapova on the tower. At the same time, Li Zhen also set up fortifications. This was an important location for the battle between Li Zhen and the Russian army.
