Ma Xiaojun's face was full of embarrassment, and his face turned red as soon as he "soared".

"Brother Xian, just kidding, come, let's sit down and talk slowly." Zhu Zhengtao pulled him to sit down: "In your army, you haven't been paid for a few months, right?" ”

Ma Xiaojun nodded silently.

"It is a matter of course for a soldier to fight a war and be paid a monthly salary." Zhu Zhengtao no longer joked, but said seriously: "No, if you don't pay your salary, the Black Death will naturally have to pay you, and it's okay now, but I'm afraid that it will be out of control later." ”

"Brother Wenshan, I know all this, but what can I do?" Ma Xiaojun let out a long sigh: "I just hope that the military salary can be sent down as soon as possible, so as to appease the brothers." ”

"Above? Do you still expect to be paid? Zhu Zhengtao sneered: "Lu Rongting can't take out a piece of the ocean!" ”

Ma Xiaojun and Bai Chongxi were both taken aback: "How does Brother Wenshan know?" ”

"It's not just me, the whole of Guangxi knows about it, only you soldiers are still in the dark. Do you know why Lu Rongting didn't dare to give you banknotes? ”

Ma Xiaojun and Bai Chongxi shook their heads.

Zhu Zhengtao's face was solemn: "Because the Bank of Guangxi is an empty shell, the paper money is worthless, and it is about to be discontinued, and the arrears can be delayed, but if the soldiers are holding a pile of waste paper in their hands, there will be a mutiny at that time, and no one can control the situation!" ”

"The patrol envoy, the patrol envoy really has no money in his hands?" Ma Xiaojun still didn't believe it.

"Not only does he have no money, he simply owes a lot of debt." Zhu Zhengtao lowered his voice and said: "The money bank's, the bank's, the Chinese's, and the foreigner's interest are all five or six cents, but he can't pay the money at all." You know why? ”

"I heard that I heard that it was a failure to invest in the stock market?" Ma Xiaojun hesitated.

"The stock market?" Zhu Zhengtao waved his hand and said: "God knows what he did with this money, but now Guangxi is everywhere looking for him to ask for debts, Chinese he can still send it, what about foreigners?" Now no one is willing to lend him a dime anymore, Guangxi Bank is going to fall, Lu Rongting is going to fall too! ”

Ma Xiaojun and Bai Chongxi gasped.

Is the patrol envoy falling? And what about so many troops? What about the brethren?

Zhu Zhengtao sighed: "What do you rely on to fight?" It's not how brave the soldiers are in battle, it's the money that fights. Not only are you unable to pay your military salaries now, but you can't continue to maintain normalcy. Not to mention you, even those administrative officials have not been paid for several months. If the guess is right, Guangxi will be in chaos! ”

"Is there any room for salvation?" Ma Xiaojun asked with luck.

"Where is there any room for salvation." Zhu Zhengtao said coldly: "He dug this hole too big and too deep, and he can't fill it in by himself." Sixty million, it is rumored outside that he has pulled down a deficit of sixty million, people's hearts are moving, no one is willing to do things seriously, Lu Rongting is finished, only you soldiers don't know the truth yet! ”

A look of despair emerged from Ma Xiaojun's face.

He didn't care who was the rover, but what about his promises to the brethren?

The brothers were waiting for a double pay, no, even if it was a month's salary, but now it was all in vain

The only hope is that what Zhu Zhengtao said is all false and rumors. But this seems unlikely, Zhu Zhengtao has no reason to make up these things.

"Battalion commander, it's not good, it's not good!" The battalion attached Tong Yanwen hurriedly ran in, his face was like a big enemy: "I just got the news, Guangxi Bank has run, the manager has fled overnight, Guangxi Bank is finished!" ”

It was like a thunderbolt that exploded on Ma Xiaojun's head.

Tong Yanwen continued; Not only that, but the banknotes issued by the Bank of Guangxi have also run out, and a large number of businessmen and people have gathered in the Patrol Embassy, crying and seeking death! I heard that even machine guns have been set up at the entrance of the palace for the patrol, and foreign banks have also sent people to negotiate! ”

Before Ma Xiaojun came back to his senses, someone came in and said:

"Battalion commander, the division commander ordered my model battalion to stop marching into Hunan and immediately move in the direction of Nanning!"

"Brother Xian, Lu Rongting's eyes are red, this is trying to suppress it by force!" Zhu Zhengtao said unhurriedly.

Ma Xiaojun didn't have an idea for a moment.

What to do? What should I do now?

Going to Nanning? Helping with the bullet press? Brothers, how should you explain yourself?

Don't you go? That is to disobey the military order, and you will lose your head!

Bai Chongxi was very calm: "Battalion commander, we can't go, as soon as we go, we will be sinners, and we will be thrown out as scapegoats when the time comes, and no one will be able to save us!" And according to the current situation, something really is going to happen in Guangxi! ”

"So, what are we going to do?" Ma Xiaojun's six gods are ownerless.

Bai Chongxi glanced at Zhu Zhengtao: "Mr. Zhu, are you here to help us?" ”

Zhu Zhengtao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Brother Xian, you have such a helper, it's really a blessing, yes, I came this time, and I am indeed here to help you." ”

As he spoke, he stood up and shouted outside, and soon two more men came in with a suitcase, put it down, and then quickly walked out again.

Zhu Zhengtao opened the box unhurriedly, and slowly a box of ocean appeared in front of everyone.

Several officers were stunned. Zhu Zhengtao smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, this box of ocean is a military salary, and it is also a life-saving money for you!" ”

"This, this" Ma Xiaojun didn't know what to say at all.

Bai Chongxi glanced at the ocean: "These oceans, if my guess is right, Wang Hengyue asked you to bring them, right?" ”

Zhu Zhengtao was surprised, this young officer's mind was too meticulous, and his reaction was too fast.

Bai Chongxi said quietly: "Wang Hengyue has been staring at Liangguang for a long time, and now that there is such a big matter, how can he not intervene?" The brothers waited for the money, so he sent the money, Guangxi didn't have to fight, and it was about to become his Wang Hengyue's! ”

"Jianshengna, I'm kind of obedient to you." Zhu Zhengtao gave a thumbs up: "Yes, this is the Southwest Patrol Envoy Wang Hengyue Wang asked me to send it to you!" ”

No one spoke, now what the southwest patrol envoy, what the two Guangxi patrol envoys, has nothing to do with them at all, the only thing they have to think about is their own way out in the future!

The Katsura family used to be very united, but now it is a chance of life and death, and if you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff.

Looking at it like this, I'm afraid that Lu Rongting is really going to fall

"Battalion Commander Ma, and all of you." Zhu Zhengtao no longer concealed anything: "Whether the Wang Patrol Envoy comes to Guangxi, or the Lu Patrol Envoy is in Guangxi, the brothers always have to eat, not only your model battalion, but all battalions have now received the first batch of military salaries sent by the Wang Patrol Envoy!" The debts owed by the Lu Xunyue envoy will be repaid by the Wang Xunyue envoy! Wang Xunyue asked me to bring a message to you, as long as he enters Guangxi, he will deserve all the military salaries he owes, and it is a real double salary! ”

It's time to decide.

Wang Hengyue is definitely going to enter Guangxi, which is inevitable.

Of course, the model battalion can continue to serve Lu Rongting, but the result may be that his former colleagues raise their guns against themselves.

Wang Hengyue has one more model camp and one less model camp, so he doesn't care at all!

Faithfully continue to protect Lu Rongting, and will pay the heaviest price!

"My father taught me to be loyal to my boss and to be honest with my boss." Bai Chongxi stood up: "But now, no matter how loyal we are, it is useless, the brothers outside will soon get this news, they will not continue to obey the commander, and the mutiny is about to happen!" When the time comes, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

After speaking, he walked to the box, and the symbolic one picked up a piece of ocean and put it in his pocket: "Please help me thank the Wang Patrol Envoy, my military salary has been received." ”

Tong Yanwen also stood up and picked up a piece of the ocean!

"Battalion commander, don't hesitate any longer."

Ma Xiaojun sighed and waved his hand: "Give these oceans to the brothers, go and tell the Lu Patrol Envoy that I, Ma Xiaojun, am sorry for his years of cultivation." ”

Zhu Zhengtao had a smile on his face.

He finally lived up to the instructions of the Wang patrol envoy

The 2nd Battalion of the 10th Regiment of the 5th Brigade of the Gui Army.

Li Zongren picked up a piece of ocean, put it to his mouth and blew it on his lips, put it to his ear and listened to it, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Wang Hengyue is really willing to pay for it, he has covered all the military salaries!" ”

"Battalion commander, the brothers have all assembled."

"Take out all the money that Wang Hengyue, no, Wang Hengyue's envoy gave to the brothers, and tell them that this was given to them by Wang Hengyue, the envoy of the southwest patrol." Li Zongren threw Dayang back into the box:

"From now on, we are not Gui Jun, we have to be called, we have to be called [***]. By the way, what about the neighboring troops? ”

"The neighboring Tao Camp and Zhang Camp have also received military salaries from Wang Hengyue, and the troops have been assembled, as if there are signs of thinking about our movement."

Li Zongren smiled; "Go and tell them that I, Li Zongren, have also accepted the military salary, and let them not put on an attack and set up, we were colleagues in the past, and we are still colleagues now."

"Yes. Battalion commander, do you want to launch an attack on Nanning? In this way, the king will pay more attention to us. ”

"No, I, Li Zongren, would never do such a thing." Li Zongren's answer was categorical: "I was forced to have no choice, so I switched to Wang Hengyue, but if I want to attack my old chief, I will never do this thing that is scolded and hated by thousands of people, whoever wants to take such a credit will let them take it!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Zongren sat down and glanced at the military uniform on his body. The military uniform is still this military uniform, but this military uniform will not be surnamed Lu in the future, but will be changed to Wang.

The whole of Guangxi will soon change its surname to Wang!
