"What should we do if we caught thirty-four prisoners this time?"

This is the first sentence Lu Yongzhi asked during morning exercises.

"Kill them, they don't treat us Chinese as humans, and they also killed many of our brothers."

This is the opinion of most people.

"Fenghu, you said that your team caught the most prisoners."

Feng Hu is a person who doesn’t talk much. Every time he convenes a meeting, he rarely speaks, but just listens silently.

Lu Yongzhi always thought that he was a down-to-earth and willing person who was loyal to the orders of his superiors. Unexpectedly, his team did not kill anyone this time and captured a group of prisoners.

"I think they should be released so that they can save their lives if they surrender in war."

He doesn't express his meaning! He knows what he means, but he can't express it.

"What you mean is that they can destroy their combat power, and by being released, they can spread the fear of war to others next time, causing them to lose the courage to resist?"

Feng Hu nodded straight, he just wanted to express this meaning.

"Yes, you can take this hundred taels of silver as a reward for thinking about your war."

"Ivy, why did you kill more than twenty people?"

"Because of the urgent situation, people were woken up. If they were asked to grab the gun in their hands, the brothers would cause greater casualties."

"Very good, make a quick decision and respond quickly. Plus the copycat you selected can attack and retreat or defend, and you can win both merits. This is 200 taels of silver. You can accept it."

"Thank you, Senator Lu,"

He knelt on one knee and bowed heavily.

The ivy's face was more proud. He changed from a leader who was on par with Lin Jun's life to a subordinate. He had always thought it was a shame. This time, he felt even more upset when he saw Lu Yongzhi's reward for sealing tigers and not killing prisoners. He was afraid that Lu Yongzhi would find a reason to rub him.

I didn't expect to give him the highest reward.

"Li Shanmao, you have been rewarded with me for leading people to sneak into the fire. This hundred taels will be rewarded with me for your group. Ruan Qi, you have been leading people to sneak into the enemy camp, but they have returned in vain, which will waste everyone's energy and affect morale. Now you are revoked as the deputy captain and demoted you to a soldier. Are you convinced?"

"I'm convinced! I'm blaming me for not thinking." Ruan Qi, a mixed-race Chinese and Vietnamese man, is also an old man. He is currently the deputy captain of a team. He led people in to sneak in on the first day, and ran away after firing two shots. Now he looks ashamed.

"Finally, I would like to especially praise your instructor Wei Laosan and Wei. It was he who temporarily revised the combat plan by observing the enemy situation and making temporary changes to our combat plan so that we can achieve such great results. I suggest to Chief Lin, and with his consent, Wei Laosan is now appointed as the deputy leader of our team."

Lin Junsheng took the lead and clapped his hands, went down and pulled Wei Laosan up, and stood beside him.

"Continue to practice!"

"I really want to release all the French prisoners?"

A Dong looked regretful on his face.

"Let it go? It doesn't exist, follow the old rules."

Lu Yongzhi smiled.

When he arrived at the bamboo building, he yelled at the group of prisoners: "Let me listen to them all, is there anyone who can understand Chinese? "

"Sir, say slower, I can understand." A French soldier in a shirt and pants raised his hand,

"Okay, come out," Lu Yongzhi waved to him.

"Listen to me, I'll let you go back now. Tell your sir, I have thirty-three prisoners here, each of whom takes a gun, one hundred bullets, and one hundred taels of silver to exchange. From tomorrow on, I will kill one person every day, two on the second day, four on the third day..."

The French soldier nodded.

“Repeat my words.”

The French soldier repeated it in Chinese and stuttered, but the meaning was right.

"Wow, Mr. Lu, how much silver is this? Three thousand three hundred taels of silver, plus guns and ammunition, wow, wow..."

Adong kept shouting "Wow" while on the side.

Lu Yongzhi said in his heart, you don’t know how powerful these foreign devils were when they asked for money later. They were all in units of billions. Oh, no, it was ten thousand. At that time, there was no unit of measurement.

"The French guys have no time to attack us these days. Let each team send people out to recruit soldiers. Whoever recruits the troops will be the team. If there are more than thirty people, the team leader will become the squadron leader. In addition, all the captured guns are replaced, and the bullets are filled according to the base of twenty rounds per person."

Lin Junsheng nodded repeatedly.

"What should I do if the uniforms of the captured French soldiers are also covered? My brothers say the quality is good and I want to wear it."

"Hey, Brother Lin, you are the boss of this team. You don't take charge of this kind of thing?"

Lin Junsheng smiled embarrassedly. "Aren't you used to listening to it?"

"Divid all those who can be divided. When the French take back all the prisoners, it's time to encircle us in large numbers. Oh, by the way, you keep the telescope, and you can use it in the future. You can also keep the pistol, and use it for self-defense."

"Report, the French soldiers from Xizhai began to retreat and went back to the other side of the river." The sentry looking at the sentry came to report.

"I expected it to be done, and I sent a team of Fenghu to Dongzhai, and we moved there too. The guards were responsible for monitoring the bamboo bridge and building fortifications. Pay special attention to whether the French were building bamboo rafts and wooden boats."

The command center moved to Dongzhai, and Lu Yongzhi took a nap. In the afternoon, Adong came up to call him and said that the captured Frenchman came with several villagers carrying things.

"Let them come."

The captive soldier who could speak Chinese was named Leo. He brought ten guns, one thousand bullets and one thousand taels of silver. He said that the commander said that he could not afford to raise so much money for the time being, and he had already sent someone to go back to the barracks to collect it.

Lu Yongyi tested it one by one, picked out two rifles from it and said, "This gun is too old, we don't want it. I'll bring you nine French soldiers later."

He took out the seized pocket watch and looked at it.

"It's 3:40 pm now, and before 3:40 pm tomorrow, I can't see anything else, I will start shooting the prisoners. Look, right on the bamboo bridge, you will see it."

Leo returned with the nine prisoners he selected.

"Wow, I'm so happy to hear it. Mr. Lu, you're so cool!" Ah Dong looked at him with admiration.

"Don't say it's too cool, it seems uneducated, it's too handsome."

Lu Yongzhi gently knocked his head and started to go out.

In the afternoon, five or six young Zhuang tribes came to join the army. As soon as they entered the door, they shouted: "We are soldiers recruited by the Second Team, let's find Captain Liu."

"Who is Captain Liu?" Even Lin Junsheng was confused and then reacted. "Damn, the ivy's surname is Liu, I forgot his name."

Lu Yongzhi was curious. How did this ivy do the work? How did it quickly attract five or six soldiers? After interrogating, he found out that the ivy carried three people wearing French uniforms and carrying seized French rifles and boasted in the village. Then, he put out a bunch of silver and said, "Everyone who followed me to join the army would have a five-two silver fee for each family."

He took out all the 200 taels of silver that he rewarded him and recruited soldiers.
Chapter completed!
