Ничего не правлю - все as it was:

A CHINESE SOLDIER'S ACCOUNT OF THE FIGHT AT SEIKWAN.

The Kokkai publishes the following as the statement of one of the Chinese soldiers engaged in the fight at Seikwan, who was taken prisoner by the Japanese troops in the neighbourhood of SangNyong, while on his way to Pingyang:

The Chinese troops arrived at Assan about the 6th or 7th of May last. Their force at the time of the battle of Seikwan was about 3200, composed of 10 garrisons, or battalions, of infantry, two companies of miners, and a troop of cavalry, drawn from the Seitei army at Shanhaikwan and the Buki army at Rodai, and commanded by Generals Yeh and Nieh. The ordinary number of a garrison or battalion of infantry is fixed at 500, but in most cases the number is under the regular figures, some being of 400, and others of 200 only. The artillery consisted of eight Krupp guns, manufactured at Kin-Ryo, belonging to the army of General Nieh. They had, besides, four mortars, but those were sent back to Tientsin before the battle. The Seitei army was armed with Winchester rifles made in America, and each soldier carried 50 cartridges. There were about 200 volunteers, in addition to the regular soldiers. These volunteers were fed with the surplus food of the regular men. The pay of the soldier is 3 taels and 60 cents per month. But of this sum 85 cents per month are deducted for rice, and several taels are deducted every winter and summer for clothes and shoes, so that the actual amount received by each man is very small. The price deducted for the clothing is much higher than the market price of the goods, the difference being squeezed by the officers. Several days previous to the battle, a disagreement of opinion occurred between the two commanders, General Nieh maintaining that when the Japanese advanced to the attack they should be fought, while General Yeh held that any fighting should be evaded, as no order had been received from their Government or Li Hung-chang to fight. The latter, with about 1000 men, retired to Ten-an on the day previous to the battle. For this reason, the Chinese force actually engaged was only 2200 under General Nieh, who in person commanded the troops. In the midst of the hot firing most of the men retreated to the woods and refused to come out again to fight. Twenty military students attached to the army supported General Nieh, and almost all of them fought very gallantly and died in the battle. When the Chinese troops first arrived in Corea they had not the least idea that they would have to fight with the Japanese. They attribute the serious position in which they were placed to the mismanagement of Yuan-sie-Kai. Generals Yeh and Nieh strongly condemned the action of Yuan, who left for home alone, taking no heed of others, when the danger pressed. They proposed to impeach Yuan to the Peking Government. General Yeh is a very selfish man and cruel to the men under him, who all hated him. Had he been on the field he might have been shot by his own men. The number of Chinese killed was about 200, and those wounded about 300. Many of the wounded died on the march to Pingyang. Those of the wounded who were unable to walk hired horses, for which there was keen competition, and the confusion was beyond description. Many of the retreating soldiers attired themselves in Corean dress. Generals Yeh and Nieh estimated the Japanese army at about 10,000 when they advanced to Sosajo to fight

Интересно, как вбрасывается информация от японцев под видом "инсайдерской" информации. Простой солдат говорит практически то, что ему приказывают пленившие его японцы. Либо этот солдат не существует вообще, а вся информация - плод творческой обработки японскими пиарщиками показаний пленных с введением нужных данных.
