Chapter 120 Arriving at the Camp

In late May, a disgraced team arrived outside the Siming Mansion in Guangxi.

"It's so fucking hot!"

Dong Pi was not resistant to heat, he wanted to unbutton his collar secretly, but he was afraid of Fang Xing's military order, in the end he could only use his hands as a fan, which was better than nothing.

The long line was silent, from the capital to now, under Fang Xing's strict orders, they basically walked all the way to train soldiers.

The soldiers' skins had turned black. Fang Xing touched his own face and thought it was better not to look in the mirror. It must be Bao Gong's face.

The front is Fucheng, but when someone from the city told Fang Xing, don't go into the city, what supplies do you need, after we sent them out, Fang Xing felt a little bad all over.

"We have rushed here all the way from the capital, let's go in and let us have a rest!"

The person who came saw the fierce look in Xin Laoqi's eyes, and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, Cozhi people often come to harass you recently. If you enter the city, the people in the city may run away."

Fang Xing didn't understand the meaning for a while, and when Dong Pi went to negotiate with this person, he felt a little cold.

Does this mean that after a small army is stationed, it will attract the attack of the Cochin people?

Maybe not, but the local reaction made Fang Xing somewhat enlightened.

This is the border, and it used to be Jiaozhi, which has been entangled with Huaxia for more than a thousand years.

In the former Song Dynasty, Jiaozhi killed many people here, and it is said that it was a massacre of the city.

Yin Jian is not far away, and the locals seem a little afraid of Jiaozhi. Therefore, once a rebellion occurs, reinforcements must be provided, otherwise the entire Guangxi may fall.

After Dong Pi and the local officials explained the shortage of materials, they came over and explained: "Mr. Fang, those Cochin people are flexible in body and fearless of death, so the local people are really a little scared."

The species of the tropical rainforest reminded Fang Xing of a term.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Fang Xing called for camping.

The tent was set up, and as soon as Fang Xing entered, he called the scouts.

"Can you meet the messenger of the army?"

The scout shook his head and said, "No."

Fang Xing waved his hand, and after the scouts left, he called Dong Pi.

Dong Pi took off his helmet as soon as he came in, and said profusely, "Mr. Fang, the weather is really bad!"

Fang Xing said with a smile: "It's only May now, after June, the weather here can drive people crazy."

After chatting for a while, Fang Xing asked Dong Pi to carry some scarves from the luggage.

The so-called gauze scarf is nothing but something that Fang Xing modified from the breathable fabric in the warehouse.

Fang Xing then went to inspect the barracks and told him not to drink raw water and not to expose his skin outside.

"This is a major matter related to human life. I have nothing to say about any hundred households who are not dedicated. We will never want such a person!"

All the households agreed with a loud bang, and Fang Xing continued to explain: "All gunpowder must be protected from moisture!"

Xin Laoqi explained: "Master, our gunpowder is put in wooden barrels, and we also put a layer of moisture-proof paper that you gave us in advance, so I guarantee that it won't be unusable."

The moisture-proof paper is actually kraft paper. Put the kraft paper into the barrel first, then put the gunpowder in, and tie the mouth tightly. Fang Xing has tried it, and the moisture-proof effect is good, but I don't know if it will be dangerous.

Fang Xing nodded in satisfaction, and then saw that Dong Pi had arrived with a guide.

"Where is the army now?"

Fang Xing asked with a slap in the face. The communication at this time is inconvenient, if Zhang Fu's army moves, Fang Xing will have to go the wrong way.

The guide shook his head to express that he didn't know, leaving Fang Xing and Dong Pi silent.

Dong Pi tried to persuade him, "Mr. Fang, the British public soldiers are like gods, so it must be impossible for the news to spread."

Confidentiality, this is the first key to the success of military operations.

Fang Xing said helplessly: "Then let's go to Yi'an Mansion.

"

The Ministry of War's order was to stop at Nghe An Mansion, and the subsequent actions would be arranged by the British official Zhang Fu, so Fang Xing had to follow the plan.

On the second day, all the soldiers were covered with a layer of gray veil, which looked a little weird.

After the large group of people entered Jiaozhi territory, Fang Xing realized that he had overcorrected.

"There are not many mosquitoes, and there are no leeches."

Seventh Xin deliberately walked around, as long as he didn't enter the forest, there were almost no disease-causing insects on the road.

Fang Xing twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Then take it off."

On a difficult journey, the civilians I saw along the way were all thin and small. When I saw an army passing by, they all stood on the sidelines blankly.

Under these hostile gazes, Fang Xing led his troops to Yi'an Mansion.

"The army has arrived at Xinping Mansion, the enemy has been harassing too much recently, I don't know..."

Fang Xing, who was slapped in the head, could only secretly curse the unreliability of the Ministry of War, and then boosted his morale and continued to move forward.

"Fortunately it's not the rainy season!"

If it was the rainy season, Fang Xing estimated that one-third of his people would fall down when they arrived in Xinping Mansion.

At this time, Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng were receiving the order in the camp of the Xinping government in Pingzhou.

After the eunuch passing the decree left, Mu Sheng said with a smile, "Master Guo met relatives this time."

Zhang Fu's expression remained unchanged, he just laughed at himself: "Jing Mao, this is the first time I've met this brother-in-law, Your Majesty wants me to test his quality, it's a bit embarrassing for me."

Mu Sheng is several years older than Zhang Fu, and his son Mu Bin is already engaged to Zhang Fu's daughter, so he speaks without any scruples.

"Wen Bi, I heard that this Fang Xing gave the King of Han shame in Jinling!"

Although generals cannot stand in line, who is Zhang Fu? Who is Mu Sheng?

A British Duke and a Qian State Duke are both in-laws, so there is no need to be too shy about talking.

Zhang Fu hummed: "My brother-in-law lives in the village all day long, but just teaching a few students, some people can't see it!"

Mu Sheng laughed and said, "You don't even look at who is among the students!"

Speaking of this, both of them thought of many letters from the King of Han, in which they talked about the friendship between the two sides, from the first time they met, to the battle of Jingnan, and now...

Looking at each other, Mu Sheng sighed, "This muddy water doesn't flow well!"

Zhang Fu said indifferently: "Just don't bleed."

Mu Sheng wanted to say more, but when he saw Zhang Fu's face showing a hint of sternness, he changed his mouth and said, "How do you arrange for your sister-in-law to come?"

Speaking of this, even Zhang Fu said helplessly: "He has no official status, but His Majesty handed over the Qian headquarters to him again. Isn't this embarrassing me?"

Mu Sheng laughed loudly and said, "He has no official status, so you can't put on the airs of a military commander!"

Zhang Fu laughed and said, "Let's see!"

After two days like this, when Fang woke up outside the camp, Zhang Fu immediately made arrangements: "I will disappear, give them a place to camp, and provide enough food, herbs, and medicinal materials."

So Fang Xing and his party were placed in a corner of the camp.

On this territory of more than 200,000 troops, Fang Xing's troops were like a wave in the sea, and they disappeared very quickly.
