Several people present exchanged glances with each other - they are not stupid. At the cusp of the storm, Huang Ande suddenly called them all together. No need to ask what his "intention" was.
These are not the days of peace. Not only do the military rob, rape, murder and set fire to unarmed ordinary people, but they also face the government. It is not uncommon for them to mutiny, raise money, or even kill officials for rebellion, especially the people around Huang Ande. Basically, they are not peaceful people.
"Brother Huang, just tell me what kind of wealth you can get from Haolai?" Cao Qing said, "Just tell me a reason, and we will all follow your lead."
Zhu Si was also very excited: "Brother Huang, do you like the official treasury in the village?"
There is a large amount of salary and grain stored in Dengzhou City and Penglai Water Village. The annual military expenditure in the Denglai area is 800,000 taels. In history, when Kong Youde's rebels opened the Penglai Water Village, they obtained 100,000 taels of salary and silver from the warehouses.
"I heard there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver stored there." The others immediately became energetic.
Huang Ande shook his head: "Even if there is a lot of money in the warehouse and there is no one to guard it and it is open for us to move, how much can each person move?"
After the city is broken, the attacking party will first send troops to seize and protect the warehouse, and people in the city who want to take advantage of the chaos will also flock there. At that time, it may be a bloody fight, and they will rob in the chaos. Silver, it's like grabbing food from a tiger's mouth. Even if you can get close to the silver, one person can't take much away.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel discouraged.
"I think there must be a lot of money in those waterside restaurants along the coast of Xiaohai. There are many wealthy people having fun there, and rich businessmen live there - and there are many women..."
Someone mentioned this place, and the eyes of everyone present lit up. Xiaohai is the inner harbor of Penglai Water Village. Along the coast, there are waterside restaurants built by merchants. All kinds of pleasures and pleasures are available. Not only bureaucrats and generals often hang out here. Wealthy businessmen doing business in Dengzhou often settle here. It is an authentic gold-selling cave. Wenwen Township
Money and women are the two things that men are most interested in
Huang Ande remained silent, he smiled, and Zhu Si knew that was not what he meant - asked: "Brother Huang, what do you mean by wealth?"
Huang Ande pretended to be profound and said: "Tell me, what is the biggest treasure in Dengzhou City?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Since the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the warehouse are not considered treasures, what else can be considered treasures? Could it be that Brother Huang knew that a local rich family or dignitary had a priceless treasure hidden around him?
Huang Ande paused and said in a deep voice: "The most valuable treasure is Sun Junmen."
"Sun Junmen?" Several people shouted in unison? He covered his mouth again - this is so amazing
"Yes." Huang Ande stood up, opened the door and looked outside to see Sun Yuan's brother standing by the courtyard door. When he saw him coming out, he shook his head and Huang Ande went back again, closing the door again.
"Tell me, who has the final say in Denglai Qingsanfu?"
"Of course Sun Junmen has the final say," Cao Qing said, "He is the governor of the imperial court."
"But how can he be regarded as a treasure?" Someone raised doubts. "Once Dengzhou is defeated, he will be ready to be punished - the crime of losing the defense line may be thrown away. Once the city is destroyed, Sun Junmen will definitely commit suicide.”
"If this city cannot be captured, he is not dead."
"Of course, the governor has his say here," Cao Qing said, "but it is clear that this city cannot be defended."
"That's why there is a big fortune waiting for us - but we have to work hard to earn it. Are you willing to do it?"
"Brother Huang, you have nothing to say." Zhu Si responded immediately. He was young and competitive, and he had long been unwilling to live in such a hazy life as a soldier. He wanted to do something big.
"Okay, let me make it clear what I am doing this time. The first is not to harm the people, the second is not to rebel, and the third is not to become a Tatar. We want to save Sun Junmen. As long as we can save him, we will all have a chance. "Wealth," Huang Ande said, "but I have to say it first: I won't stop you from doing it if you don't want to do it. As long as you go back and take care of your destiny - don't sell your brothers. If you do what you want, you have to be prepared to die." plan"
"Nothing to say, I'm willing to do it." Zhu Si was the first to respond, and then everyone else followed suit and expressed their willingness to do it.
Huang Ande took out a stack of paper from his waist and carefully lit the oil lamp, keeping it dark for them to gather around and take a look.
"This is the bank note for the house in Shanxi," Huang Ande said. "Each person will take twenty taels and use it as settlement expenses."
The banknotes from the Shanxi House in the capital were relatively common large-value money orders in the north at that time, but it was rare for ordinary people to see them, let alone get one. Here in Dengzhou, because of the concentration of military pay and the distribution of a large amount of goods, everyone You need to be more knowledgeable to know that this thing is the same thing as real money.
Before the engine operation, in order to facilitate the activities, a batch of banknotes from Shanxi House with good credit, good brand and convenient exchange were exchanged through Delong Beijing Branch. After all, Delong banknotes did not have much influence in the north.
Twenty taels of silver, if they don't go to war, it would take them ten months according to their normal monthly pay. Not to mention that for big soldiers like them, it is simply impossible to get their military pay in full and on time.
Huang Ande got more than 200 taels of silver when he made a move. The Chinese network is convinced that otherwise he was a poor soldier, where would he get all this money?
Cao Qing took the money ticket and asked: "Old Sun and Xiao Huang are unreliable. What do Brother Sun and the other two brothers on duty say? Do they want to be brought over to work together?"
"Of course we have to give special attention to Brother Sun, who is Sun Junmen's servant - with him, half of our problems are solved," Huang Ande said, "We have to find a way to get them back during the day tomorrow."
"Okay," Cao Qing said, "I'll think of a solution."
Cao Qing is a veteran gangster who is familiar with many things. He said there is a way to ensure that there is really a way.
Huang Ande stretched his body and said, "I won't say anything else. Let's go back and get our homes settled now - the city will be destroyed in the next few days. If the family has a place to hide, let's hide for a while before dawn." Come back here"
"Cheng" the few people listened to his words and knew that they would take action in the next few days. They were all gearing up. Zhu Si said: "I have knives and bows and arrows at home. Do you want to bring them?"
"Don't bring anything with you except the dagger," Huang Ande said, "I have weapons and knives prepared here."
While intense plotting was going on in Penglai Water Village, Chen Sigen and Zhu Mingxia had already arrived at Dazhushan Island in the Miaodao Islands. The distance between this place and Penglai was only a dozen nautical miles, although it was not as close as Nanchangshan Island to Penglai. However, the size of Zhushan Island is very small, and there are no heavy troops or navy ships. At that time, Ming troops were stationed on almost all the islands in the Bohai Sea. There were a large number of Ming troops stationed on the two main islands of the Miaodao Islands, Changshan Island in the north and south. , and naval ships
Although it was easy for the Second Fleet to eliminate the Ming army in the Miaodao Islands, Zhu Mingxia believed that it was not necessary for the time being - as a third-party force, there was no need to make a premature appearance to attract the attention of the Ming court.
When the Dengzhou operation required an advance base, Zhu Mingxia decided to first capture the large and small Zhushan Islands that were not heavily garrisoned.
According to the investigation, there are no Ming troops on Xiaozhushan Island - the terrain is rugged and there is a lack of fresh water. Only a few fishermen live there. There is only one beacon on Dazhushan Island, and there are more than a dozen Taiwanese soldiers stationed there.
A squadron of the special reconnaissance team commanded by Chen Sigen took a fishing boat and easily captured Dazhushan Island and captured all the garrison troops. Then a company was brought in to control the people and ships on the big and small Zhushan Islands respectively.
In the entire Dengzhou plan, rescuing Sun Yuanhua is the first step. As long as he can rescue Sun Yuanhua from Dengzhou first and keep his position as governor, the imperial court will have the right to say whether he "suppresses the governor", and the three eastern prefectures will continue to obey. Sun Yuanhua's instructions and the engine front committee controlled Sun Yuanhua, which was equivalent to controlling the initiative of the Ming army in the Dengzhou Rebellion.
As for Dengzhou, Zhu Mingxia believed that it would not be troublesome to regain it. It just depends on how much trouble Kong Youde needs to make the engine move.
At the moment, Kong Youde must be allowed to occupy Dengzhou. Without occupying Dengzhou, the rebels will not be able to absorb the local Liao people, expand the size of the army, and call on the remaining Dongjiang tribes scattered on the islands in Liaodong.
"Dengzhou, let Kong Youde occupy it for the time being," Zhu Mingxia said to Chen Sigen in the tent, "let him use the good things in the city first, and then give them to us - in this way, the old man Sun Yuanhua will not blame us for taking them." It belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and it is only natural that it is a trophy."
"However, it is still a bit difficult to fish Sun Yuanhua out of the chaotic Dengzhou City - why not send someone to kidnap him in advance?"
"How can that be done? He is not an official in Dengzhou. The governor's disappearance must be reported to the court. The court will appoint a governor immediately. Besides, he was captured by Kong Youde. We rescued him and saved his life. Official position, reputation and life, just so that he can see his love, right?"
He had to be in a critical situation, but not completely despair of the situation, so that Sun would choose to cooperate in depth with them.
"Since you insist on waiting until the city falls before taking action, I have no objection. The key is his positioning," Chen Sigen said. "I don't know if the intelligence personnel can help."
This is the most critical issue: Dengzhou City has a circumference of more than 5,500 meters, while Penglai Water Village has a circumference of more than 2,000 meters. They are both very large areas. It is impossible to find and rescue Sun Yuanhua from them without effective intelligence collection. All their intelligence sources are the intelligence agents previously dispatched in Dengzhou and Penglai and the "relationships" developed locally (to be continued)
