Back in the room, Song Biao explained to them: "Two sirs, I'm sorry, I really didn't expect Lieutenant Colonel Neznamov to stay for dinner. This is really not a polite word to foreigners. Everyone

I have different habits, and I really thought I wanted to treat him to a meal.”

Yinchang laughed and said, "This kind of thing is common, and foreigners do not have the habit of being polite. We are rude because of etiquette. Sometimes we have to say that if others take it seriously, it will be really embarrassing. But because of this,

It can be seen that General Song does have an extraordinary position in Russia, and even such Russian generals are deeply in awe."

Song Biao smiled and asked them to sit down and said, "In fact, there is no such thing as deep awe. This lieutenant colonel is a more brain-oriented type in the Russian army. He has high military theoretical literacy and is brave in wars.

The Russian army really promoted him in the future, and maybe one day it would be our opponent. He stayed to have dinner with me, and actually wanted to talk about something. During this period, I opened a Far East non-commissioned officer school in Shenyang and hired a lot of them.

As a senior Russian army officer, he just invited him. He would like to talk back and forth today and decided to stay and help me for a few years. He happened to organize various information about the Russo-Japanese War here."

Yinchang sighed with a slightly awkward expression: "The imperial court has opened new military academies in various places. The so-called new styles are actually not new, and the trainees are also of different quality, which is difficult to bear. In my opinion, if the general has set up this Far East official, he

Schools must be a hundred times stronger than Beiyang schools.”

Song Biao thought for a moment and said, "It may not be necessary that the teaching performance of the non-commissioned officer school depends on the level of instructors on the one hand, and on the other hand, the level of students. Nowadays, even high school and junior high school education in China is not perfect. It is almost none.

It would be a bit too delusional to cultivate modern soldiers who are comparable to Europe, America, Japan and Russia on this basis."

Yinchang nodded slightly.

Tang Shaoyi then replied: "What the general said is very good, and it hits the point. The lack of enlightened modern education is the root cause of our country's backwardness."

Tang Shaoyi is already a middle-aged man of forty-three this year. When he is upright and energetic, he looks very smart and capable. He is always known for his shrewdness and ability to deal with things. Otherwise, he would not have been the first Prime Minister of the Republic of China.

.

This person should be said that before the fierce conflict with Sun Yixian, he had always been the pioneer of China's path to becoming a strong country. He was smart and capable. Unfortunately, when he was the first Prime Minister of the Republic of China, he insisted on the cabinet responsibility system and had a great conflict with Yuan Shikai. He was forced to resign.

Later, because the conflict between the cabinet responsibility system and Sun Yixian's presidential system expanded, he lost his political status again and was depressed and unsuccessful.

Yinchang is a few years older than Tang Shaoyi, but there is too much difference in that kind of spirit.

Among the Manchus, Yinchang was one of the most rare talents in the later period, and his actual level was also lacking, which was far from the elite Han people of Tang Shaoyi.

Song Biao could roughly feel it when he looked over at the sight.

After the three of them were silent for a moment, Tang Shaoyi suddenly said: "General Song. Nowadays, many important officials in the court support you as the governor of the three eastern provinces, the governor of Huguang, Zhang Zhidong, and Zhang Shikai, the governor of Zhili, all said bluntly that you cannot control it.

The situation in the three northeastern provinces, and the empress dowager is also like this now. Lord Yinchang and I came here this time to uphold the empress dowager's will. The empress dowager's intention is to hope that you will do your best to deal with the country. With your prestige, our country will protect our country from the three northeastern provinces.

Sovereignty, when this matter is settled, you will be appointed as the governor of the three eastern provinces."

Song Biao waved his hand slightly and said, "No need to deal with it, this matter has been decided. I have had many contacts with consulars from Britain, the United States and other countries during this period. All countries agree that this is unanimous and unanimous. Russia will never allow it to invade the northeast of our country in legal theory and facts.

The territory of the three provinces. I have a lot of contact with the Russians, and of course I know that they have a lot of ideas now. I always feel that they have won this battle, and the Northeast is theirs. Even Madeni, who has supported me.

General Dorph was also proud. After talking to me twice, he meant that I would be the governor of the three eastern provinces of Russia. The Russians always didn't know the importance of it, so let them do whatever they wanted. In fact, they didn't understand it in their hearts, in Portsmouth

It was not Japan that negotiated with them, but Britain and the United States. His navy could not even defeat Japan. If it really turned against Britain, I think the Russian navy would almost be buried in the belly of a fish and become the weakest country in the world's navy.

So, when you go back, you will understand this matter directly with the court. There is no need to worry about the sovereignty of the three provinces for the time being. What I should have told the court is generally said. My principle is very simple. I would rather hide in Hunjiang and be the first in Guandong.

The big bandits would not be the governor of the three northeastern provinces for the Russians. If I had not considered the livelihood of tens of thousands of brothers under my command, I also had ambitions. Considering that the situation in the Northeast is indeed quite complicated, I don't care about this governor at all

The mission."

Tang Shaoyi raised his glasses slightly and said, "The general is sure, so we are naturally relieved. However, now the Russian army has occupied the entire territory of the three provinces. When they were asked to withdraw their troops, they were forced to rent the Liaodong Peninsula. Now, if they want them to withdraw their troops, I am afraid that

It is even more difficult. The court hopes that the general will come forward to mediate the matter. Today, China can negotiate with the Russians, probably the only general."

Song Biao remained silent. He actually knew that this matter was a bit difficult to be good. After a little thought, he said, "Don't talk too much for now. After Japan and Russia formally ceasefire, I will go there alone with the commander-in-chief of the Russian army.

Negotiation. I had a conversation with His Excellency Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin. In general, I personally feel that he does not agree with Russia's forcibly occupying the Northeast, which will force a sharp decline in British and Russian relations.

Under the current circumstances, Russia actually cannot afford to offend Britain, but Germany is also encouraging Russia. His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of Kuropatkin cannot make a clear judgment, but if I can convince him, he and the Tsar

Your Majesty's relationship may be able to convince the Tsar. After the official armistice between Japan and Russia, the Russian Mikhail Representative to the Tsar arrived in Fengtian to celebrate the entire army. At that time, I may be awarded the Russian infantry major general, or I may

It is the rank of lieutenant general. If possible, I think I can have a personal talk with Grand Duke Mikhail for a while. That's what I mean. Instead of negotiating with the blindly optimistic officials below, it's better to wait for me to negotiate with the Russian upper class directly.

”

Tang Shaoyi thought for a while and asked, "With what the general saw, I don't know how to convince Grand Duke Mikhail?"

Song Biao replied: "I don't know, I can only change my mind when I see the wind and push my boat when I see the water. Talking about it with emotion and reason with it is definitely nonsense. Others have sent the troops to their doorsteps. What else can we talk about to the end.

, the key is probably that the pros and cons are directly presented. In fact, I think it is not difficult for Russia to withdraw from the army this time. The key is how to deal with it for a long time and consolidate the Northeast forever. I have a solution in my mind, but unfortunately, even if I say it, even if I really

It was said as the governor of the three eastern provinces. Taking my understanding of the imperial court and especially the Beiyang Navy as an example, it was still useless in the end. Therefore, if I became the governor of the three eastern provinces, I would probably have to sacrifice my life for the country.

The court has always been like this. Even if I am honored by the Russians as the Asian Napoleon, what can I do?"

His words were true. The Qing court really couldn't count on any hope. It would be better to wait until the Manchu regime was strong enough to push it down and become the emperor and control the overall situation.

Hearing his words, Yinchang couldn't help but ask: "General, don't lament so much. The court has worked hard and made great efforts. All patriots from all sides have the ambition to improve the new policy. Now there are generals in China who are good at fighting. How can you?

Worrying that you can't defend against the enemy? I just don't know how the general thinks how to consolidate the Northeast forever?"

Song Biao thought for a moment and replied: "In three years, we have been sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, and we have trained 100,000 elite troops in the Northeast who are sticking to the local area. All the training methods are adopted by the new European and American troops, and all the guns and ammunitions are consistent with the Russian army. Three years later, we will introduce the British and American elbows to control Russia.

Japan can temporarily stabilize the situation in the Northeast. If I have 100,000 elite troops in my hands, coupled with my reputation and ability, even Russia and Japan dare not easily invade Kanto again. In the pass, Yuan Shikai and Zhang Zhidong trained the new army.

, I guess there will be no major events, so this dynasty can still be at ease within the past five or six years, or even ten years. As for ten years, it is hard to say. The so-called eternal northeast should follow Germany and Japan, and keep up with it.

Time to implement the new policy and strengthen self-improvement, there is no other way."

Yinchang praised: "What the general said is very much. I dare not say anything else. As for the general who wants to train 100,000 elite troops in the Northeast, the court should support it."

Song Biao waved his hand and said, "Given the precedent of the Beiyang Navy, I don't really want to report too much hope. If the court really appoints me as the governor of the three northeastern provinces, I'd better raise funds in the three northeastern provinces by myself.

If this place is properly cultivated and managed, 100,000 Western-style elite soldiers can still be supported, at least they can barely support it.”

Yinchang praised: "If the general can maintain a hundred thousand elite troops in the northeast with the power of Guandong and does not require the imperial court to allocate funds, it would be great. After I return to the capital, I will definitely report to the Empress Dowager and ask the Holy Lord for the sage."

Song Biao did not answer. People like Cixi should not be underestimated. Who knows what kind of heart they are? Maybe they have no intention of taking care of the Northeast.

Tang Shaoyi asked Song Biao: "How many troops do the general have in his hands?"

Song Biao replied calmly: "Not many, there are currently 30,000 troops. The battle in Liaoyang caused more than half of the elite soldiers I had trained for half a year. The current soldiers have been retrained in recent months, and it will take about half a year.

Only by force can one use it. There are no shortage of guns and ammunition. Not to mention that there are 60,000 to 70,000 rifles and ammunition, even if there are 400 artillery and more than 300 machine guns, they are all good cannons and machine guns made by virtue and magic.

, Japan and Russia had a total of 16,000 war horses, and more than 20,000 horses were taken."

He deliberately exaggerated it, really shocked Tang Shaoyi and Yinchang. All China knew that Song Biao had gained a lot of benefits in the Russo-Japanese War. It is said that the fields alone occupied tens of thousands of land and also received them in Anshan, Fushun.

The coal and iron franchise in the places, with money and food, but so many cannons and machine guns really shocked Tang Shaoyi and Yinchang.

With this strength, coupled with Song Biao's ability, he might be able to hit the capital in one breath.

Song Biao is not rebelling yet, and is waiting for the Qing Dynasty to be appointed as the governor of the three eastern provinces. That is really loyal, right?

Yinchang must be the most terrifying. He is Manren. He knows very well what Manren and the court are most afraid of. Speaking of which, he is not afraid of Russia's seizure of the Northeast, but he is afraid that a strong man like Song Biao will lead his troops south and behind him

If Russia supports it, the Qing Dynasty will be in danger.

In fact, each school has a difficult sutra, but everyone only knows that it is difficult to recite its own sutra.

To be fair, Song Biao's strength is what the Qing court feared the most, but the previous estimates did not meet the actual situation. If you really know the strength in Song Biao's hands, the Qing court is afraid that it will really be difficult to stand up.

It's right.

At this time, Yinchang wanted to immediately put on his wings and flew back to the capital to report to Empress Dowager Cixi. This matter could not be delayed anymore, and if it was delayed, something big would happen.

Tang Shaoyi is still a stable person. Seeing that the official business has been almost done, he was very interested in chatting with Song Biao, wanting to ask how Song Biao killed Dashan Iwai and Kandao Notsu in the Battle of Liaoyang.

Yes, just as we were about to continue talking, Li Dayun hurried in and reported to Song Biao: "Military Seal, British military officer Lieutenant Colonel Conns and Japanese general Yoshihara Oshima came to see you

one side."

Song Biao said oh, and said to Tang Shaoyi, Yinchang: "I did not arrange a meeting with them today, but the news of my stay here is well known. If they want to come to me, they will find one.

These two are considered distinguished guests. Anyway, they are not in a hurry to leave, so let’s make an appointment to negotiate in the evening.”

Tang Shaoyi nodded silently and said, "The general is busy with affairs. We understand, so let's talk to you in the evening, so that the general will not delay the general's meeting with the generals of Britain and Japan."

Yinchang also stood up and said goodbye.

After Song Biao sent them away first, he asked Lieutenant Colonel Conns and General Yoshima Oshima to come here.

Japanese Army General Yoshima Oshima had fought with Song Biao in Lushun before, but returned in a crushing defeat and was almost captured. Fortunately, there were already Oyama Iwai, Notsu Kando, Otaki Gentaro, Kawamura Keimei, Akiyama is so ancient, and I saw Suo Wen immediately

After a large number of Japanese field marshals, generals and lieutenant generals were at the bottom, Yoshima Oshima played a brigade against Song Biao's 14th Army, and he would not be embarrassed if he lost.

Japan now calls Song Biao a "Chinese God General" and claims to be the nemesis of the Japanese Army. This is definitely not a polite word, but the fear and panic of Song Biao spread to the entire Japanese Army, so that it can be seen from Liaoyang.

After the war, the Japanese army retreated wherever Song Biao led his army to fight, and he had no determination to continue. First of all, the soldiers' spirits from bottom to top collapsed and did not dare to fight.

This kind of Song-phobia is probably not curable within ten or eight years.

Oshima Yoshihara is in charge of negotiating with the Russian army to exchange prisoners with the two armies. He happened to take this opportunity to formally visit the "Chinese God General" and want to meet Song Biao to see what Song Biao is like.

Like, I also want to talk about arms transactions.

Song Biao has more than 100,000 rifles in his hand, which are urgently needed by the Japanese army at present. Previously, there were precedents of arms transactions between the two sides. Yoshima Oshima wanted to buy back 100,000 rifles from Song Biao to rebuild the Japanese Army.

Nowadays, Japan also wants to make a penny in half, so naturally it can save as much as possible.

Lieutenant Colonel Conns is the coordinator of the Russian-Japanese negotiations in Dalian. Because he had met Song Biao when he was watching the battle group in Europe, he served as the introducer. By the way, he also wanted to test Song Biao's tone and try to judge Song Biao.

How likely is it to be the governor of the three northeastern provinces?!~!
