After leaving the bungalow, Zhang Xuebing went to his own military camp.
Seeing Zhang Xuebing arrive, a few subordinates of the Military Department quickly took out the map that they had prepared beforehand.
"Young Marshal, this is a detailed map of the vicinity of Malan Valley.”
Another officer took out a list."Major, this is all the troops and weapons that can be mobilized at this moment. Please take a look.”
Zhang Xuebing glanced at the list handed over by an officer and waved his hand.
Naturally, there was no need for others to summarize what cards he could use.
Looking at the map that the first officer took out, Zhang Xuebing carefully observed it.
Sun Dianying was a repeat offender who stole and dug graves, and his subordinates were not good men and women either.
Although this group of people did not have high military accomplishments, it did not mean that their combat strength was weak.
On the contrary, the combat strength of this group of ruffians could not be underestimated.
After all, they were all unrefined people who had their heads hanging on their belts and were seeking wealth in the grave. When they fought with their lives, it was obvious that they did not care about their lives.
That momentum was something that even ordinary soldiers would find hard to resist.
After investigating for a long time, Zhang Xuebing realized that the terrain near Malan Valley was not suitable for an ambush.
Fortunately, these guys were there to dig graves.
That was the tomb of the Demon Empress of the previous dynasty!
The gold, silver, and jewelry inside were enough to make people crazy.
Sun Jingui's subordinates were all people who risked their lives for money!
Once the tomb door opened, even Sun Jingui couldn't stop this group of soldiers from entering the tomb to snatch the treasure.
And once this group of people entered the tomb, the only entrance to the tomb would be the best gate to hell for them!
"Have the spies watching Sun Dianying's group sent any news back?”Zhang Xuebing turned around and asked.
"Young Marshal, the scouts reported that Sun Dianying's troops have prepared ten days 'worth of rations and a large number of explosives. They should be leaving in a few days!”
An officer heard Zhang Xuebing's question and answered quickly.
"Very good. Send more people, but be careful not to let that old fox Sun Dianying notice anything unusual.”After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xuebing asked again,"How's the truck preparation going?"
One had to know that there were thousands of treasures in the Demon Empress 'tomb!
This old witch had caused the country to fall to such a state, and the people were in dire straits.
After his death, he had buried so many gold, silver, and jewelry with him.
However, just the silver alone was worth seven million taels!
If the silver was exchanged for firearms, how many dregs of the dwarf country could it kill?
How many starving civilians could survive?
"This... Young Marshal, you know the current situation in the country. This truck is a rare item. Even if we have money, we can't buy it anywhere.”
One of the military officers said awkwardly.
"This is a problem." Zhang Xuebing frowned slightly. He had forgotten about this.
At this time, where could he buy those trucks?
Many warlords used donkey carts and horse carriages to transport their firearms.
However, those were all gold and silver treasures. Not only was it troublesome for the carriage to transport them, but it also took a lot of time. A long delay would lead to many dreams. There might be some accidents along the way.
At this moment, Beiping City was the center of attention. The surrounding warlords had long been rubbing their fists.
If they were to discover such a large amount of gold and silver treasures, they would definitely shed all pretense of cordiality and forcefully take a share of the spoils.
"Young Marshal…" At this moment, another officer suddenly said,""Actually, it's not that there's no way to get a truck. Under the marshal's hands, there were 20 Gith 5 trucks that were obtained from outside the year before last.”
"It's just that…"
The officer wanted to say something but stopped. At this moment, the marshal was still heartbroken because the young marshal had killed those three old fellows.
After all, in order to rope in the Overseer, Marshal Zhang had spent a lot of money. Everyone else was heartbroken, let alone him.
However, the 'friendship' that he had spent so much effort to build was ruined by this Young Marshal.
However, Zhang Xuebing was not so anxious. When he heard what the officer said, he smiled knowingly."I forgot about that old man. I'll go now.”
With this thought in mind, Zhang Xuebing was about to leave for the marshal's residence.
He couldn't help but feel anxious.
Although this treasure was worth a lot of money.
However, after deducting the funds needed to purchase American firearms, the remaining money was only enough to pay the army for about three months of training.
Three months later, his pocket of money had shrunk again.
However, he was not like the old man, who had many businesses under him that could be used to maintain military spending.
At that time, he would just sit and eat. How could that work?
As such, the Demon Empress's hidden treasure in the Eastern Qing Tomb had to be safely transported into his own mansion.
In order to achieve this, the trucks under the old man had to be obtained.
Zhang Xuebing didn't feel any pressure.
After all, his old man was not pedantic. On the contrary, this old fellow was very shrewd and would definitely support him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuebing was looking forward to it. Sun Jingui, Sun Jingui, you should quickly fall into the trap!
I'm just waiting for you to help me be the vanguard, and then I'll benefit from it!
At that time, he would eat a big one! His strength would rise greatly!
However, just as Zhang Xuebing was about to walk out of the military headquarters, a bodyguard suddenly barged in.
"Young Marshal! Happy news!" As he spoke, the guard respectfully handed an envelope to Zhang Xuebing.
Frowning slightly, Zhang Xuebing looked down at the letter. The sender's name was actually Duan Qirui!
Opening the envelope, it was a letter of commendation.
After reading the letter, Zhang Xuebing showed a disdainful smile."This Duan Qirui is a top student of the Beiyang Military Academy. Even ordinary scholars would find it difficult to achieve this kind of credit.”
"That's because the Young Marshal deserves such praise."”
Zhang Xuebing patted his bodyguard's shoulder and said helplessly,""When did our brothers learn how to flatter others?”
"Let me teach you some experience. This letter is the so-called flattery.”
"Many warlords have their eyes on us. Why is there such a dispensable commendation letter at this time?”
"Besides, why would Duan Qirui send us a commendation letter? He's just an old bastard who uses his power to intimidate others!"
The bodyguard thoughtfully cooperated with Zhang Xuebing and nodded. No one knew how much he understood.
Shaking his head helplessly, Zhang Xuebing was about to head to the marshal's manor when another soldier ran into the military headquarters.
"Young Marshal! Lord Zeng and the adjutant had returned! They even brought back dozens of trucks full of firearms!”
Listening to the soldier's words, Zhang Xuebing was also pleasantly surprised. Qishan was really reliable!
He did not expect him to successfully trade the firearms back! This was a shot in the arm!
With this batch of American firearms, his plan would be more secure!
