Lin Junsheng was walking at the front of the team.

In addition to wearing a French military officer uniform, he also had a telescope on his chest, a French command knife hanging around his waist, a wide belt tied around his waist, and a revolver inserted into his gun holster.

He rode on the war horse, his face flushed.

Lu Yongzhi was half a horse's head shorter than him. In addition to being dressed in casual clothes, the only pistol at his waist could also show that he was also a member of this team.

On the other side is Wei Qiang, who is almost dressed up with Lin Junsheng.

Following closely behind are Gu Erge, Hulu, Feng Hu and Li Shanmao, who are now at the level of deputy camp officials.

Behind it is a scout team, which is more than twenty horses, led by Adong.

Then there were four neat columns, one by one, who wanted to step on the road paved with bluestone on the ground to the sky.

Arrogant! This is the expression in everyone's eyes.

A year ago, they were still hungry bandits and farmers facing the loess and facing the sky. Today, they returned triumphantly as anti-French heroes.

The onlookers lined up along the streets and were amazed: "Where did these teams come from? Why are they wearing French military uniforms?"

"This is the newly compiled Jianziying. It turned out to be a specialist in fighting the French on the border. It was just incorporated by Lord Su."

"How many French soldiers have to be fought?"

"Looking at their awesomeness, this is much stronger than the soldiers of the Yong Camp."

The people from Jianzi Camp are also watching.

"See it. Are you not Wei Laosan, Li Shanmao and others? You have been away for more than a year now and are now deputy battalion officials."

"If I had known, I would have told the leader that I would have hang out with them."

After a circle around Chongzuo City, he finally arrived at the Chongzuo Military Camp. Guan Wuming led Mo Rongxin, Tang Haoming and other groups of officers to welcome him at the gate.

"Report to Guan Biaotong, Lin Junsheng led Jianzi Zuoying and Youying to report." Lin Junsheng took the lead in jumping off his horse and saluted Guan Wuming.

Guan Wuming quickly stepped forward, hugged Junsheng with one hand and Lu Yongzhi with the other, and said with a smile: "Teacher, two brothers, hurry up and go into the house to rest. Brother Lin, your outfit is majestic."

Lin Junsheng quickly untied the French command knife and presented it with both hands: "Brother Guan, you are so good at this knife, so I am dedicated to the eldest brother."

Guan Wuming was not polite either. He took the knife, pulled it out of the sheath, and kept shouting: "What a steel mouth, this knife is sharp enough."

"Minister Lin, you have put me on the wall now. I didn't bring any gifts." Lu Yongzhi clapped his hands, indicating that his hands were empty.

Guan Wuming patted his shoulder: "You gave him a big gift. My artillery battalion has been built, it is all your credit. Twenty-four cannons, we are not afraid of them if we want to fight with the French. There are also the four French instructors, I thought I would have to hold a few more artillery training classes, so I can't just pay money and have no work to do."

"Yes, let them make more trouble and make a few of them compile textbooks. In the future, they will stop working. If there are textbooks, we can still train them. Okay, bring the team and my task will be completed. Let's talk, I have to go back to the Longzhou Governor's Office to report."

After Lu Yongzhi came back, he drank and chatted with Chen Bingkun and found out that a lot of things had happened in the past few months.

Basically, it was caused by the Yongying, the camp directly under the Governor's Office.

When Su Yuanchun was transferred from Hunan to Guangxi, he brought 1,000 Xiangyong people, and later received 1,400 soldiers from Feng Zicai's army. These 2,400 soldiers were all Su Yuanchun's troops as the governor, divided into two battalions, guarding Longzhou Prefecture and Zhennan Pass.

Later, he adapted the Guan Wuming Jian character camp stationed in Chongzuo and the Shao character camp stationed in Zushouwu, Liuzhou, and was modified according to the new army organization.

His 2,400 township heroes still used the old military system, and the salary of these people was issued by the Governor's Office.

Su Yuanchun raised several sources of construction costs for small and small cities that were originally scheduled to be implemented.

The court supported him in Gubian, but could not afford the silver. He only allocated dozens of Kleber cannons from Guangdong, and asked the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi to take as a guarantee to owe dozens of cannons from foreign companies. At least he had collected all the cannons from the 130 cannons planned by Su Yuanchun. He did not take out a single cent of the silver.

The loan from the foreign bank was firmly opposed by Guangxi Governor Huang Huaisen. The reason for opposition was very simple. The Guangxi government relied on this little bit of money to pay. What else can you use to maintain the operation of the yamen after you mortgage it to the foreign bank?

I also encountered many obstacles in raising funds from large investors. I was just a fool. I only raised more than 200,000 taels of silver after being worn out, which was too far from the goal.

Su Yuanchun knew better than anyone else about building a large and small team, and could permanently cut off border troubles. Besides, he really wanted to leave behind some commendable political achievements as the supervisor of border defense military affairs.

Therefore, he took the lead in donating all his property, and he owed Yongying's salary for several months but did not pay it. In this way, he barely raised another 100,000 taels of silver.

There is still 500,000 taels left to the budget target and there is no conclusion.

Guan Wuming's Jianzi Camp and the family fortune accumulated when he was a bandit can support him for a period of time, but the soldiers of the Yongying Camp could not hold on anymore.

The Xiongzi Camp stationed at Zhennan Pass itself has the responsibility of engineering supervision. They took the opportunity to take advantage of the project funds and get some benefits. In addition, Zhennan Pass is a key place, so they dare not leave without permission, so it is nothing.

Only the Yongzi Camp stationed in Longzhou, on the one hand, they have to protect the Shuitou Pass, and on the other hand, they have the responsibility to defend the Governor's Office. The main problem lies with these people.

At first, they thieved and did not dare to make big moves. The case was reported to the Longzhou Government Office. After the patrol and investigation, the criminals pointed to the Yongying Camp. Seeing that the army involved and had no jurisdiction, the Longzhou Government Office fooled the victim away.

The group of soldiers in Yongying saw that the Longzhou Prefecture Office was not in charge of the matter at all, so they became more and more courageous and the case became bigger and bigger. Ni Dahong mentioned Su Yuanchun several times indirectly, but Su Yuanchun pretended to be deaf and mute and vague.

Su Yuanchun was also helpless. Yongying was all his old subordinates who had been following him for many years. He was the first to be in the liability for wages, so he basically let him go and pretended to be confused when he understood.

"Hey, Su Shuai is good at everything, he is too protective of his son. Fang Yousheng from Yongying is from Hunan. He probably followed Su Shuai when he was long-haired and made great contributions. Su Shuai treated him as much as his own son, and no one in the Governor's Office could compare to him. Xu Kun, who is also an old man, has been with Su Shuai for many years."

Chen Bingkun sighed.

"What do you mean, are these two people who are instigating the crime in the Yongying camp?" Lu Yongzhi asked.

"I can't say this, just guess. Don't think that you have made contributions to the French and interfere in Guan Yongying. I just tell you that the water here is too deep, and it is not something you, a small battalion officer, can be mixed up. Ni Dahong knows, and Guan Wuming also knows that they are all afraid of being attacked by rats."

Lu Yongzhi didn't expect that it was not whether he was willing to take care of it or not, but that things would come to him on his own initiative.
