Chapter 24: The Strategies to Get rid of the crime (Part 2)

"Mr. Su, this person must not be killed."

Lu Yongzhi, who had already removed the rope, bowed and clasped his fists.

"Lu Yongzhi, for the sake of the prefect Ni and Guanguan, I have already saved you from the death penalty and should not be more arrogant. If you don't kill a person, how can you calm the anger of a legal person?"

"Sir, I have a plan to relieve my worries. Please let me tell you."

Su Yuanchun was stunned for a moment: "Let's talk about it."

"The master named Guangxi Border Defense Military Supervision, and what he was worried about was nothing more than two things. One was that the French provoked the border, restarted the war, and occupied our Zhennan Pass to open our doors; the other was that the border was boundary surveyed, and that the legal persons were invading our territory could not be explained by the court or the people."

Those who have a little bit of brain will think of these two points, but no one dares to mention them in front of Su Yuanchun. But Su Yuanchun is different. He has the feeling that this young man knows deeply about my heart.

"Yes, you know me. What good ideas do you have? Come quickly."

"Please look at the junction of Guangxi and Vietnam. The area of ​​Zhennan Pass is mainly connected by these five peaks. If we set up a fort at this five peaks and connect them with brick walls, we will build a defensive fortification. From a high place, we will directly overlook several important Vietnamese towns opposite, and can support the water entrance pass and block the river. Once a firepower network is formed and mutual support is supported, it will be more difficult for the French army to capture Zhennan Pass than climb to the sky."

Lu Yongzhi stood in front of the sand table, picked up a wooden stick and pointed it on it.

"This idea is good, but for such a large project, it is estimated that it will cost at least one million yuan. Where will the money come from?"

Su Yuanchun was still thinking, and Ni Dahong pointed out the key.

"This is a measure on Yonggu border, so the court will naturally not understand. They allocate part of it through them; raise part from large merchants in Guangxi; we raise part of it by ourselves; if it really doesn't work, we will use lijin as collateral to borrow part from the bank."

Lu Yongzhi was confident and provided funding sources one by one. In fact, Su Yuanchun did the most commendable thing in Guangxi to supervise the border defense in Guangxi was to build large and small teams so that the French would never dare to offend the border again.

This was actually Su Yuanchun's own idea, but he hadn't remembered it yet. In order to save Adong's life, Lu Yongzhi plagiarized Su Yuanchun's creativity in desperation.

In history, the construction of large and small units was built, and the imperial court did not allocate one tael of silver in terms of the source of funds, and it was all raised by Su Yuanchun.

Lu Yongzhi also left a source to go to Guangdong to raise money from Guangxi people doing business in Guangdong. This is to leave it again when there is insufficient funds.

"There are many unemployed people in Guangxi, and they can do a day with a few escorts of wages. The employment is guaranteed."

Guan Wuming comes from the grassroots level and is familiar with the situation at the grassroots level. He naturally supports this project.

"If this project can be completed, it will be a major event that benefits the country and the people, but there is still an obstacle. The French know that the fort is targeted at them, so how can he let you complete it easily? I'm afraid he will have another border quarrel."

Su Yuanchun thought while touching the goatee.

"Sir, I have already thought of this section, and there are naturally solutions to crack it."

"Oh, you keep talking."

"Aren't you negotiating with the French about the destination of Jinjidong?"

"Well, the prefect Ni has provided the certificate of the Jinjidong paying grain and taxes for the past years, proving that the Jinjidong has always been under the effective jurisdiction of our Qing Dynasty. The French have recognized this. But the French army is stationed there without retreating troops, and the robbers are unreasonable, what can they do?"

"This is the reason why I said that Adong cannot be killed. If the standing army under the lord participates, it will lead to another war, which is naturally something that the court does not want to see. But what if we use Lin Junsheng's chess piece?"

"You mean we will arm Lin Junsen and let them fight with the French?"

"Yes, Lin Junsheng has several benefits to fighting. His troops are not strong enough, and the annihilation war cannot be fought. But he can hold the French back so that they need to be heavily guarded and have no time to take care of our construction of Liancheng fortifications; secondly, they are bandits themselves, so naturally they will not cause wars between the two countries. The French cannot provide evidence to prove that this is Vietnamese territory, which is called the mute who eats Coptis chinensis and cannot even make diplomatic protests."

"If the French withdraw their troops from Jinjidong, wouldn't they be able to free up their hands to interfere with the defense projects of Zhennan Pass?"

Guan Wuming said in confusion.

"Why did the French refuse to leave in the barren land of Jinjidong? It was because there were minerals there. The French had already found that there were reserves there and were trying to drill and mine. Even if the French retreated, there would be a way to deal with him. At worst, the Guanguan and the leadership department would occupy the mountain again as king."

"I'm the best at this. Now my subordinates' equipment is no match for the past. If I ask me to beat the French, I will definitely make them feel so painful that they can't find the North?"

Guan Wuming is a person who can't fight for a day. During this period, he has long wanted to find someone to practice his skills.

"Will Lin Junsho's troops obey such arrangements?"

"Of course, the adults also have to make a promise to recruit him to a family background in the future. I am willing to go back to talk to them and help them organize the team."

"Su Shuai, Mr. Lu helped Lin Junsheng reorganize the team. A brigade was established, and Lin Junsheng became the leader. It was divided into two squads and a personal guard. There are now more than 40 guns and more than 80 people, all of whom are concentrated in Fenghuangzhai for training."

Su Yuanchun nodded.

"You go and tell Lin Junsheng that if he can hold the French in Jinjidong until the fortifications in Guanliancheng, our town south, I will organize his troops into the border army and actually give him the position of the supervisor. In addition, Guanguan, you can pull out thirty guns from the warehouse and send them two thousand bullets."

"Yes, obey the order." Guan Wuming's two big eyes turned straight, obviously he was making some idea.

"Lu Yongzhi, I have appointed you as the senator of the Camp Affairs Office of the Governor's Office, to take the title of chief of the sentry, and to be responsible for the reorganization of the Lin Ministry. I will go to the accountant to receive 500 taels of silver as the settlement fee for the Lin Ministry. I can devote everything to Lin Junsheng's department, and there is no need to ask for instructions in everything."

"Mr. Xie is promoted and receive the order from a humble position."

"Report to Shuai Su, someone from the French Consulate asked for a visit." Chen Bingkun, who had been guarding the door, came in to report.

“Come in.”

The visitor was a military officer at the French Consulate and a military officer who had been dealing with the Governor's Office.

Renault came in and gave a French tribute to Su Yuanchun and said, "After confirming that our kidnapped father had been treated with Mr. Lu during his kidnap. Now the kidnapped family members should ask that the Chinese kidnap will no longer be held accountable. This matter ends here. I hope that China will strictly restrain its people and similar things will not happen again."

Su Yuanchun replied: "We agree with your opinions on handling. When we go back, we will tell your consul that we must do a good job of local security."

Renault left, and everyone in the room looked at Lu Yongzhi with surprise. What kind of ecstasy did this guy give the French girl? Not only did he no longer hold him accountable, he even didn't even need the guns and ammunition he sent. This was the first time this Frenchman who protested and threatened to send troops whenever he had disagreement.

At this time, Ni Dahong was wondering whether the star master in this guy's mouth was Su Yuanchun or Guan Wuming?

He casually came up with ideas not only to relieve himself of his crime, but also became the guest of the governor's office of Su Yuanchun. He came in with a lot of tied up, and when he went out, he was Su Yuanchun's special envoy.
