Earning 4,000 taels of silver in five years is an impossible task to put it on the sixth rank of the court, or even the whole fifth rank.

Therefore, after Yang Xingguo's decision was spoken out, none of the four people opposed it.

As soon as he returned to the garrison headquarters left by the old Russians in Liaozhong, Yang Xingguo arranged all the young people who were good at internal affairs to serve as mayors.

A young man is paired with five scholars who can calculate and write, and manages a large town composed of more than ten villages and a population of more than 10,000.

Before the main force of the Liaodong Army arrived in Liaozhong, these town mayors had only one task. While maintaining the stability of the Liaozhong situation, they also counted all population and land within the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Army.

What made these new town mayors feel thankful that because the Liaodong Army took the initiative to refund 30% of the grain tax to them, although the people here did not yet have the attitude of supporting the Liaodong Army, they could not be disgusted.

In this way, these mayors have become much easier when doing things.

Yang Xingguo did not violate his promise regarding the arrangements of Li Zhilong, Zhang Wenhua and others.

Li Zhilong was sent directly to the first battalion with the largest damage to the war as the platoon leader of the company.

As for Zhang Wenhua, he handed him a few local doctors from the Liaodong Army and gave him 5,000 taels of funding for the establishment of a field hospital, and he formed the upcoming Liaodong Army field hospital by himself.

At the same time, the Liaodong Army Maintenance Office, composed of Xiao Wenchang and seven or eight craftsmen, was also established.

When hundreds of blown rifles on the battlefield were sent to the maintenance center, Xiao Wenchang, who asked Yang Xingguo to buy machinery and equipment every day, rushed directly on the damaged rifles, and began to tear down the east wall and repair the rifles to repair the west wall.

In less than two days, almost twenty intact rifles were placed in front of Yang Xingguo.

"Commander, all five mayors have been in place... These people are worthy of returning from studying abroad and are well-managed. They have established the town government in just a few days..."

"The field hospitals are also looking... Zhang Wenhua is already considering going to Lushun and buying some of the most basic Western medicines and surgical instruments from foreign companies..."

"For safety, I asked Li Xiaohu, the guard company, to transfer a guard squad to the police..."

"The maintenance shop has not only been established, but has also started to produce results..."

"I have to say that in this transaction, although we lost 60,000 taels of silver and 500 rifles, the price is worth it. Even if the price is twice as high, I am willing to exchange these talents..."

Since Liaozhong is showing a prosperous scene, the first thing Yang Xingguo has to do is to operate Liaozhong into a titanium that the Russians cannot break before they react.

And to achieve this goal, Yang Xingguo had to do one thing.

All the main forces of the Liaodong Army were transferred to Liaozhong and completely abandoned the Anshan old camp...

If only the troops were mobilized, Yang Xingguo would not be worried at all. However, in addition to the troops, the old camp of Anshan also had all the weapons, ammunition, food and supplies that maintained the Liaodong Army's operations for one year...

With so many supplies, plus more than a dozen mountain cannons, the main force of the Liaodong Army must follow the official road to reach Liaozhong.

Although there is no main force of the Russians who can threaten the Liaodong Army on the official road hundreds of miles along the way.

However, these so-called Russian garrison battalions and hand-back regiments can threaten and harass the main force of the Liaodong Army, which carried a large amount of baggage and artillery at any time.

More importantly, once these old Russian garrison troops have a fire with the main force of the Liaodong Army, the real strength of the Liaodong Army will be completely exposed to the Russians.

At that time, in the new round of retaliatory encirclement and suppression launched by the Russians, they who already knew the strength of the Liaodong Army would draw more main forces to deal with them.

And this is definitely what Yang Xingguo doesn't want to see the least.

You know, there is still half a year left before the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War.

If you want to get a share of the Russo-Japanese War, you must accumulate strength from now on.

Once the Russians dispatched heavy troops to encircle and suppress themselves, they may be trapped in the heavy troops of the Russians in the next six months. In this way, it would be fortunate that their limited strength would not be severely damaged. As for the so-called accumulation of strength, they should not mention it.

Zhou Zhongju had no choice but to do anything about Yang Xingguo's concerns.

Just as the two were frowning and thinking hard, Li Zhilong, who was still acting as a temporary staff member next to Yang Xingguo and was waiting for the arrival of the first battalion, suddenly spoke: "Commander, if we find a way to prevent the Russians from leaving their camp, will we lose our worries..."

"It's not easy to talk about..." Before Yang Xingguo could speak, Zhou Zhongju vetoed...

"There are a total of six garrison battalions and two hand-back regiments on these hundreds of miles of official roads... Although there are no heavy weapons such as artillery, there are still seven or eight heavy machine guns in total..."

"So many enemies, and there are city walls or fortresses to defend, even if all of our Liaodong Army combat battalions are dispatched, they will not be able to trap them..."

At this moment, Yang Xingguo's deep eyes suddenly shot out two rays of light.

Then, he said confidently: "It's not impossible..."

“As long as we plan carefully enough, we can do this…”

After saying that, Yang Xingguo directly cast a glimpse of admiration at Li Zhilong, and then ordered: "Li Zhilong, you prepare... This time, I am going to let you and the Investigation Company **** return to the Anshan Old Camp and pass on my latest combat order..."

"As for you, I will go directly to the first battalion to take office... I hope you can perform well in this operation and strive to become the company commander after the battle is over..."

Two days later, in the Anshan Old Camp, Li Zhilong became the leader of the first battalion, company and line.
