After Kawamoto left, Zhang Tianhe immediately called a meeting with everyone.

"This little nose's nose is really smart, we just arrived in Taonan, and Kawamoto followed, how did he know?" Tang Dalong spoke first.

"We have to admit that the Japanese military's intelligence work is quite good, and it is possible that the peddlers, pawns, and Shinong industrialists and industrialists are disguised by their spy personnel, so it can be seen that they have already targeted us, our whereabouts have been completely exposed, and they have colluded with the Mongolian bandits, that is to say, the Mongolian bandits can grasp our movements at any time. As soon as we come, we are too dangerous. Liu Bodu said.

"What Mr. Liu said is very true, but what is the way to solve it?" Zhang Tianhe asked.

"I thought we couldn't stay at the southern border, this is closer to the city, people come and go, do you know who the Japanese military's spy is doing? I want to transfer immediately, I remember that when the Taiping army and the Qing army were dealing around, this tactic was used, and during the day, they saw that their camp was still under the city, and suddenly disappeared overnight, so I suggested that we also adopt this method, and this night we will pull out the camp and go into the mountains, in addition, we will set up camp and set up camp, and we must set up three camps, one battalion is real, and two battalions are virtual. It is necessary to make it impossible for the other side to find out which camp we are stationed in, and then put more sentry posts in all directions to go out, and the range will be expanded to a radius of 100 miles. If you find a suspicious person, report it immediately. Liu Bodu said.

"Is that necessary? Once you enter the mountains, the conditions are even more difficult. Tang Dalong said.

"Mr. Liu is right, I think it is completely necessary, in case the camp where we are stationed is surrounded by Mongolian bandits, we are in danger of being wiped out." Zhang Tianhe said.

"I also think Mr. Liu has a point." Du Lisi said.

"There are enough mosquitoes here, and once they enter the mountains, won't there be even more? Then we won't be able to live, and the horses won't be able to stand it. Zhen Sifei said.

"Xing Lizheng, your medical skills are very clever, what medicine might you prepare to alleviate it?" Zhang Tianhe asked.

"The mosquitoes here are different from ours, they are more toxic, and a bite is a big bag, which is worse than a bee sting, I can prepare a prescription, but it is estimated that it is a symptom but not a cure." Xing Lizheng said.

"Let's try a prescription first." Zhang Tianhe said.

"Yes." Xing Lizheng agreed, and immediately took out a pen and paper to prescribe a prescription.

"Battalion Commander Hua, leave this matter to your battalion. After the meeting is dismissed, you arrange for a few people to grab the medicine. ”

"Yes." Hua Yao said.

"In addition, regarding the purchase of Mongolian high-quality horses, there is no time to delay, we must solve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise once the war starts, we will immediately suffer." Zhang Tianhe said worriedly.

"Commander Zhang, it costs money to buy a horse, and that horse is precious, a horse costs at least four hundred taels of silver, can Shangfeng agree?" Tang Dalong asked.

"Going up?" Zhang Tianhe smiled bitterly, "It's already unprecedented to be able to give us these equipment this time, if it weren't for our arguments, do you think the summit would be given to us?" The Governor felt that the disparity between the strength of us and the bandits was too great, and he was afraid that we would not be able to send out the army, so he took the initiative to send us some weapons and equipment, and now that we have come out, will he still give us money? What's more, this is not within the scope of the army's expenditure, it is an additional expenditure, and we can only figure out how to do it ourselves. ”

"And how many horses are you going to buy?" Tang Dalong asked.

"We have five battalions, and we have to equip at least one battalion." Zhang Tianhe said.

"That means buying five hundred good breeders?"

"Yes."

"That means 200,000 taels of silver, do you have so much money?" Tang Dalong asked.

"No, our family only has 50,000 taels." Zhang Tianhe said.

"I don't have money, how can I buy it? Do you want us to do our old job and rob it? Tang Dalong asked.

"Nonsense! I've said it many times, you are now the official army of the imperial court, and you are no longer bearded, what are you robbing? If we rob at every turn, then what is the difference between us and the bandits? Today, I am here to emphasize to you once again that I will shoot anyone who dares to break into people's houses, rob ordinary people's things, or molest women. Did you hear that? Zhang Tianhe said.

"I hear you." And they said.

"When the meeting is adjourned, you will go back and take what I have said to the ears of every soldier." Zhang Tianhe said.

"Yes." Everyone agreed in unison.

"Camp Commander Tang, Zhen Sifei." Zhang Tianhe shouted.

"Here." The two stood up and said.

"That's it, it just so happens that the two of you are not willing to drill into the mountains, and the matter of buying horses will be left to the two of you." Zhang Tianhe said.

"Yes."

"I have 50,000 taels of silver tickets here, and the rest of the money, you two will go to Li Sizhe to find a way." Zhang Tianhe said and took out a silver ticket of 50,000 taels and handed it to Tang Dalong.

"Understood." Tang Dalong said and took the silver ticket and put it in his pocket.

It's night.

The things in the various camps were almost packed up, and they were ready to set off and enter the mountains.

Zhang Tianhe inspected the battalions.

He first found Tang Dalong and said to him: "I still have a watch here, worth more than 50,000 taels of silver, you take it, find someone who knows the goods, and treat him as one." When we have money in the future, we will redeem it. ”

"Good boy, what kind of watch is this, so valuable?" Tang Dalong took the watch, looked left and right, to be honest, he didn't see any difference from ordinary watches.

"Don't ask so much, have you and Zhen Sifei's applications been packed?"

"Packed up."

"Then you can go, and we'll all be gone in a moment." Zhang Tianhe said.

"Yes, let's go."

"Get the horse back as soon as possible, the sooner the better!" Zhang Tianhe said.

"Got it." Tang Dalong and Zhen Sifei agreed, turned over and left.

Zhang Tianhe came to Huayao's camp again.

"Brother, have all the people in your camp arrived?" Zhang Tianhe asked.

"Not yet." Hua Yao said.

"Who else hasn't come?" Zhang Tianhe asked.

"You gave me the prescription, and after the meeting ended, I handed the prescription to the four people in our battalion to go and grab the medicine, and I haven't come back yet," Hua Yao said, "I knew that this was the case, so I went to get the medicine myself." ”

"I see, don't worry, wait a while, maybe they'll be back soon." Zhang Tianhe said.

As they were talking, they saw four sergeants running back in a panic, and as they ran, they said, "Battalion commander, save us." ”

Hua Yao raised the torch, looked closely, and recognized that it was the four sergeants he had sent out to catch the medicine, and behind them there was an old man crying and shouting, "Brute! Stop! Give back my daughter's life. ”
