1523 Old Ginseng's Beacon Fire Wolf Smoke

The cannon fired a thousand taels of gold. This is really not a nonsense. The rifles, cannons, bullets, military uniforms, armed belts, various tools, medical supplies... and cement, steel bars, and various wood parts used by the Volunteers.

In addition to the pension for soldiers to eat, drink, defecate and disability, Xiao Letian made a preliminary military budget for this battle in the Far East was between 600 million silver dollars and 1 billion silver dollars.

To be honest, this wealth has drained all the financial surplus of Xiao Letian, and he even had to rely on debt to live. Not to mention that when he issued banknotes over the years, he was actually in small-scale inflation, and his banknotes were secretly issued, otherwise he would really have no money to fight.

Of course, Mr. Long would not tell the truth to Lao Shentou, but he also made a small discount after drinking and revealed a little. He did not reveal too much and only reported a 500 million figure. This actually wanted to use Lao Shentou's mouth to cheer up the entire Far East remnants, just to tell them indirectly how rich the Chinese are.

Lao Gantou was almost scared to death. The number of 100 million has exceeded the mathematical concept he usually uses. In that era, people could understand tens of thousands or even tens of thousands, but once the number rose by hundreds of thousands or even millions, people would have no mind.

They cannot form a concept of millions in their minds. How many millions of silver coins are piled together? What are the millions of silver ingots? What are millions of people? What are millions of kilograms of grain? These concepts of images do not have in their minds.

They just thought that this number was so big that it was too big to imagine. Today, Master Long directly sold 100 million units, and Old Ganto was completely dead. He could not understand it at all, but he also knew that Master Long was not a lie.

At that moment, he could only regard the Chinese world where the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister lived as a paradise, a place beyond the reach of ordinary people.

After rubbing his cold face, Lao Gantou pulled his thoughts back to reality. He raised his hand and gave the brat of his grandson a head-breaking "What are you doing for so many questions? Can you understand after saying it? Hurry up and take the horse..."

"How much does it cost... I can tell you that all the rooms and granaries in our village are filled with them, and they have to flow down, and this is not finished!"

Wow! A group of half-best boys had their eyes blue, "I've decided. I'll be in the army in two years. I'll go to the place where the prime minister lives in the south. Why are they so lucky?"

"Let's go and send the comfort gifts up quickly. If the hunters in Tumen Mountain take the lead, our favor will be discounted..." A group of people excitedly urged the horses to move forward, but at this moment, a dense sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the dense forest on the west side of the mountain road.

"There is a fast horse? Who is this? Heitian is so riding in the forest? I'm afraid of life... Spread it apart, take a closer look!" Old Chantou ordered, and half of the boys picked up bows, arrows, earth and muskets and began to disperse their warnings.

At this time, the sky was already a little dark. People squinted their eyes and looked at the woods in the faint light. Sure enough, four war horses suddenly rushed out of the forest and headed straight for Vladivostok.

"Hmm? Military uniforms, look at the military uniforms... they are the uniforms of the Volunteers! Light blue... rush up to greet them!" Old Gantou didn't look old but his eyes were really not blurred. He jumped out of the hidden place behind the tree and waved his hands, "Which part of the Volunteers is opposite..."

The war horse rushed to Lao Gantou and his group. The knight who was leading the leader didn't say a word, but fell directly from the horse's back into the snow. Everyone was so scared that they were shocked and quickly surrounded them.

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

"Save the commander quickly... the enemy is right behind, and it is the Rakshasa ghost!"

Lao Gan Tou picked up the unconscious officer, took out the wine gourd from his arms and bit it open the block and poured it into his mouth. It was not ordinary strong wine, but the ginseng wine from Lao Gan Tou. The medicine used by wild ginseng is very effective.

After the two of them went down, the chief woke up as soon as he coughed. When he saw that the old man was very familiar, he must be a local survivor. "Old man... inform the general... Rakshasa... Rakshasa Cavalry Regiment is in the West... Their reinforcements are catching the shortcuts..."

"Oh, this is a Fusang samurai!" He couldn't make a mistake when he heard the accent. Only Fusang samurai had this tone.

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

"I am... under Lord Fujihi... the cavalry company commander... Maeda Yujiro... don't worry about me, there are 20,000 Cossack heavy cavalry behind me! They circulate the land of the Qing Dynasty and come from our abdomen..."

Ah! Old Ganto screamed and his face turned pale, "What... what did you say? How could you go around behind? That's outside the Qing Dynasty! Even if the enemy comes, he has to come from the north! How could he come from the west..."

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

"My god, his ancestor! Mom is so stupid... I'm missing your mother's great virtue..." Old Chantou was so angry that his forehead was stinging, and the children present even cursed desperately. Who would have thought that these bastards could do such unethical things?

Old Ganto burst into tears, "Is this really not us anymore? Does this Qing Dynasty really not want us anymore? I threw us into this place and killed Rakshasa ghosts... Now Is it still a group of beasts who kill us... Is it just hopeful that we will die? Is this still the heart of the people..."

"Fuck them! Grandpa, don't cry... Let's stop them here. We have guys in our hands, fight them hard!"

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

"Everyone died in battle... In order to buy me time to report the news, many brothers rushed forward without hesitation and died with the enemy!"

"That is an elite cavalry regiment from Central Asia, not an ordinary army! They fight sharply and bravely with guns! It's not something you can resist... I beg you to report the message quickly, as long as you can send the information! Now the enemy is ten miles away..."

Lao Gan Tou burst into tears and shouted, "Cut off the rope, throw away all the comforting goods, burn it with a fire, everyone is ready to get on the horse..."

"Our horses are all Thomas and they can't run fast at all. The enemy will catch up soon... The only way now is to set fire and set up wolf smoke... There are some people in the Volunteer Army who understand, and they will definitely understand!"

At the critical moment, the old temple made the right choice. Thomas could not run away from the war horses. Now it is still twenty miles away from Vladivostok. If you just escape blindly, you will be caught up by the enemy soon.

Only when the wolf smoke was released, the Volunteers could see clearly the wolf smoke between twenty miles and the Volunteers could see clearly. Although they didn't know what happened to the west, they could at least know that there was something here.

It’s okay to have a limited time and let them form a battle formation temporarily! It’s better than being unprepared!

Dried meat and game rich in oil were piled on the ground, and strong liquor and grease were poured on it, and a raging fire ignited, and people even threw all the precious animal skins on it.

Soon the wolf smoke rushed straight into the sky, and the darkness spread across the sky.
