As soon as the cannon sounded, it was not a fool's errand, artillery, bullets and shells, military uniforms, armed belts, various tools, and medical supplies used by the volunteers...... There are also cement, steel bars, and various wood parts for construction work. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Combined with the soldiers' pensions for eating, drinking, and disability, Xiao Letian's initial military budget for the Far East campaign was between 600 million and 1 billion silver dollars.

To put it mildly, this wealth has squeezed out all of Xiao Letian's financial surpluses, and he even has to rely on debt to get by, not to mention that he has actually been carrying out small-scale inflation when he issued banknotes over the years, and his banknotes are also secretly overissued, otherwise there is really no money to fight.

Of course, Long Ye will not tell the truth to the old ginseng, but after drinking, he also made a slight discount and revealed a little, and did not reveal too much, only a figure of 500 million was reported, which was actually to borrow the mouth of the old ginseng to cheer up the entire Far Eastern remnants, that is, to tell them how rich the Chinese are.

The old ginseng was almost not scared to death, the number of billion has exceeded the mathematical concepts he usually uses, in that era, people could understand ten hundred thousand, or even ten thousand, but once the number rises to hundreds of thousands or even millions, people are already not enough brains.

They can't concretely form a concept of millions in their minds, how many millions of silver coins are piled together, what about millions of silver ingots, what about millions of people, what about millions of pounds of grain, and these image concepts are not in their minds.

They just thought that this number was so big that they couldn't imagine it, and today Long Ye directly threw out a unit of 100 million, and the old ginseng completely crashed in his head, he couldn't understand it at all, but he knew that Long Ye was not a liar.

At that moment, he could only regard the prime minister and the Chinese world where the prime minister lived as a paradise, a place beyond the reach of mortals.

Rubbing his cold face, the old ginseng pulled his thoughts back to reality, he raised his hand and gave his grandchildren's stinky boy a brain meltdown, "Why do you ask so much......?

"How much exactly...... I can tell you, all the rooms and granaries in our whole tun are full, and they all have to go down with a bang, and that's not all filled!"

Wow! A group of half-sized boys had blue eyes, "I thought about it, I will be a soldier in two years, and I will also go to the place where the prime minister lives in the south to see, why are they so blessed?"

"Let's go, hurry up and send the condolences up, if we let the group of hunters in Tumen Mountain take the lead, our favor will be discounted......" A group of people excitedly urged the horses forward, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of dense horses' hooves in the dense forest on the west side of the mountain road.

"What kind of person is this, riding in the forest in the dark? Don't die...... Spread out and take a closer look!" the old man gave an order, and the half-sized boys picked up their bows and arrows and began to disperse their guards.

At this time, the sky was already a little cloudy, and people squinted their eyes and looked at the woods by the faint light, and sure enough, four war horses suddenly sprang out of the forest and headed straight for Vladivostok.

"Huh, look at the uniform...... It's the uniform of the volunteers! light blue ...... Hurry up and greet him!" Don't look old, but his eyes are really not flowered, he jumped out of the hidden place behind the tree, and waved his hands, "My own people, which part of the volunteer army is on the other side......"

The war horse rushed to the front of the old ginseng and his party, and the knight who took the lead didn't say a word, and fell directly from the horse in the snow, and the frightened people hurriedly surrounded him.

The knight was obviously the leader of the group, and the remaining three soldiers jumped down as soon as they saw the commander fall off their horses, and without saying a word, took off their rifles and lay down on guard.

"Rescue the sir...... The enemy is right behind, it's a rakshasa ghost!"

The old ginseng picked up the unconscious chief, took out the wine gourd from his arms, bit the wooden stopper and poured it into his mouth, this is not an ordinary spirit, but the ginseng wine of the old ginseng cannon, which is used with wild ginseng, which is very effective.

After two mouthfuls, the chief woke up with a cough, and when he saw that the old man was very familiar, he knew that it must be the local remnant "old man...... Inform the general quickly...... Rakshasa ...... The Rakshasa cavalry regiment is just to the west...... Their reinforcements are taking a shortcut ......"

"Oh, this is a Fuso samurai!" you can't mistake the accent when you hear it, only a Fuso samurai can have this tone.

"Wake up, what's your name, what's wrong......

"I'm ...... Under the command of Lord Mistin...... Cavalry Company Commander...... Yujiro Maeda...... Leave me alone, I have 20,000 Cossack heavy cavalry behind me! They have gone around the land of the Qing Kingdom and slaughtered us from the belly......"

The old ginseng shouted, his face turned white with fright, "What...... What are you talking about? How can you go around the back? That is outside the pass of our Great Qing Kingdom! Even if the enemy comes, he will have to kill from the north! How can he kill from the west......

"We were betrayed...... The Qing Dynasty betrayed us...... They let go of the country and let this group of cavalry take a detour!"

"I'm my ancestor......! Lack your mother's great virtue......" The old ginseng's forehead was bruised, and the children present scolded desperately, who would have thought that these bastards could do such a lack of morality.

The old ginseng and old tears flowed: "Is this really not for us? This Great Qing Kingdom really doesn't want us anymore? Throw us to this place to kill the Rakshasa ghost back then...... Now they are still cooperating with these beasts to kill us...... Is this still the human heart......

"Don't cry grandpa...... We're here to stop them, we have guys in our hands, fight with them!"

"Yaga ......," Yujiro Maeda shouted with all his strength, "Do you know how many times we fought along the way? How did I get my injuries? I have more than a hundred brothers! Now there are only four of us left......

"All of them were killed...... How many brothers rushed up and died with the enemy without hesitation in order to buy me time to report the news!"

"That's an elite cavalry regiment from Central Asia, not an ordinary army! They have sharp muskets and brave battles! It's not something you can resist...... I beg of you, report it quickly, as long as you can send the information over! Now the enemy is ten miles away......

The old ginseng wiped his tears and shouted, "Cut the ropes, throw away all the condolences, burn the fire, and everyone is ready to get on the horse......"

"Our horses are all thomas, and they can't run fast at all, and the enemy will soon catch up...... Now the only way is to set fire to it, let the wolf smoke...... There are people in the volunteer army who understand, and they will definitely understand!"

At the critical moment, the old ginseng made the right choice, Thoma could not outrun the war horse no matter what, and now there are still twenty miles away from Vladivostok, if he just blindly escapes, he will soon be caught up by the enemy.

Only by releasing wolf smoke, twenty miles away from wolf smoke, the volunteers can all see clearly, although they don't know what is going on in the west, but at least they can know that there is a situation here.

It's better to have a limited amount of time and let them form a battle formation on the fly!

Oily dried meat and game were piled on the ground, spirits and grease were poured on them, and fires were lit so that even precious hides were thrown on them.

Soon the wolf smoke rushed to the sky, and it was pitch black.
