Guo Songtao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Could it be that the old people in the training camp are still there?" How did I not know? ”

"Lord Bochen, the so-called cunning rabbit three holes, now that the political situation is so chaotic, how can we adults pull out all our hole cards? As for the training camp taken away by the spring rain, except for the cavalry, the vast majority of them are newly recruited or originally alternate soldiers, and at least more than half of the veteran training army are scattered around here. ”

Guo Songtao was overjoyed when he heard this, and shouted: "Great, great, as long as there is a training army, why be afraid of bandits?" We have muskets, some artillery, those Eight Banners disciples don't know how to use them at all, and it's useless to give them a ride! By the way, how many people are there in the training army who stayed? Can you resist the attack of the bandits? ”

Ke Yunlu muttered: "It turned out that the establishment of the training army was 3,500 people, and there should have been more than 2,000 people scattered everywhere at that time, and later, the training army was expanded, and some of them joined in, but when the spring rain left, some of them were recalled, and I think the current number should be more than 1,500 people......

"Fifteen hundred? This force is still insufficient, with only 1,500 people, can it resist 6 or 7,000 bandit cavalry? Also, now that Chunyu and Guanting are not in Jinan, who will preside over the overall situation? There is no one to command, no matter how many troops there are, it is useless......"

Ke Yunlu pointed to his nose with his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Bochen, naturally it's me, is there anyone else who can't be selected?" Fifteen hundred people, if it is a field front, we are indeed not sure to defeat the Twist army, but now we refuse to defend the city, but it is different, the Twist army lacks artillery, can only storm Jinan, Jinan city wall is tall, can they still fly up? ”

Yan Chunyu is Chen Hai's substitute, as soon as Chen Hai leaves, Yan Chunyu takes over the training camp, this Ke Yunlu is the replacement Yan Chunyu found, Yan Chunyu went south to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and handed over the command of the training camp to Ke Yunlu, Ke Yunlu was in charge of the firearms battalion as early as when he was in the firearms battalion, if he was promoted at a normal rate, he would at least be a deputy general or a general now, but he was hidden by Guo Yexue, and he stayed in Jinan to deal with all kinds of changes, the domestic political situation is changing rapidly, Guo Ye is far away in the United States, and the command is inconvenient, Naturally, it is necessary to arrange the affairs of the family, and as a confidant among the henchmen, Ke Yunlu is naturally the most suitable.

Guo Songtao patted his head, yes, this Ke Yunlu is not a simple character, when he was in the capital, he was a restless master, mixed up with Chen Hai, Gao Qi and others, which one is simple?

Ke Yunlu continued: "My lord, I need three or four days, now the training army is scattered all over the place, the farthest distance from Jinan is not less than two hundred miles, the twist army came too suddenly, the brothers of the various departments have not received the news, temporarily let them return to the building, but it takes time, three days, three days to ensure that the soldiers of the various departments return to the city, within three days, no matter what, we must resist the attack of the twist army, even if the eight banners and the city defense battalion are wiped out, we must hold on, especially the arsenal and Qilu Bank, These two positions are very important, and there must be no ...... to slip up."

Guo Songtao nodded, Ke Yunlu was right, the silver stored in the cellar of Qilu Bank's headquarters was at least tens of millions of taels, if there was a mistake, it would be really fatal! There is also the arsenal, and now there are no less than 10,000 muskets, nearly 100 artillery pieces, and tens of thousands of boxes of various bullets stored in the arsenal.

Guo Songtao groaned: "Yunlu, I'm afraid that it's not safe to let the Eight Banners and the City Defense Battalion defend these two positions, don't go to the end, the bandits didn't grab anything, these people guarded and stole themselves, and robbed our things......"

Ke Yunlu frowned, what Guo Songtao said made sense, the Eight Banners Camp can do anything, especially Qilu Bank, which is full of real money, once they find the silver vault, in such a chaotic situation, anything can happen!

Ke Yunlu replied: "Okay, pull out all the more than 100 people in the training camp and immediately take over the defense of the arsenal, where is the heavy weight, plus the escort team of the arsenal, there are almost two or three hundred people, it is not a problem to block the attack of the twisters and support it for a while; As for Qilu Bank, let's let the city defense battalion take over, I think, the high rise of the city defense battalion is not so bold as to dare to rob Qilu Bank! ”

Guo Songtao gritted his teeth, and now he can only look like this.

Guo Songtao said: "Okay, I'll go and mobilize the troops of the city defense battalion and coordinate with the Jinan General's Mansion to deploy the defense of Jinan; You immediately go to the training camp, mobilize the training army to assist in the defense arsenal, and send people to transfer various departments to train the army back to the city, time is not waiting for anyone, act immediately! ”

The two discussed the countermeasures, and Guo Songtao left the Guo Mansion.

Ke Yunlu came to the courtyard and shouted: "Come on, brothers, if you have work to do, you ****** gather for me!" ”

With a shout, dozens of guards inside and outside the Guo Mansion all gathered in the courtyard of the front yard.

Ke Yunlu looked at these brothers and shouted: "Just now the governor sent a message, the bandits are going to raid Jinan in the next two days, the situation is urgent, you immediately ride fast horses to various bases, and send an order for all the training troops to be built immediately, 100,000 urgently, within three days, all arrive in Jinan, those who violate the military order will be killed!" ”

Everyone was shocked, a little inexplicable, the bandits are coming? It's too sudden, isn't it?

Ke Yunlu shouted angrily: "What are you doing, are you ****** stupid, act immediately, the first team will stay to protect your sister-in-law and nephew, and everyone else will set off immediately, get out!" ”

Now everyone has woken up, it's really burning eyebrows, action, you must act immediately, everyone scattered in a hurry, and they went to the horse shed in the side yard to lead the horse, for a while people were noisy and neighing, and Guofu was in chaos!

Ke Yunlu stood quietly in the courtyard, rubbed his temples fiercely, and cursed fiercely: "What's special, don't you know if Lao Tzu is lazy?" Lao Tzu just wants to hide quietly, and he doesn't want to fight, Zhang Luoxing, you dog, you came to disturb Lao Tzu's good dreams, where is it not good to rob? It's just that I have nothing to eat and support, I have to come to Jinan to toss, Lao Tzu doesn't say that you are all cleaned up, and Lao Tzu's name is written upside down! ”
