"I said, we said, please show mercy to the Prime Minister and don't kill us... This is the master next to Maile. We all call him Suan Xiucai. I remember his surname is Tian..."
"It was him who came up with the idea for Mailer to send troops to sack the villages. He said that sacking the villages would restore the morale of the army... Prime Minister, please forgive me. I am the one who looks after the horses in the back camp. I have never killed anyone." , I really don’t know how to kill..."
The two desperate people kowtowed and told the story of the heads one by one. If you have read this chapter of the novel gege, please go to Biquge () to read the latest chapter, or you can directly search for "" or "" on Baidu. Please remember our new website Bi-Qu-ge,, ,,
When Luo Huo heard that this bastard had such a dirty heart, he got angry and stepped on his head in the dirt. Then he spat on it, "Come here, go back to the village and take those few The body was minced and fed to the dogs..."
"Prime Minister, give me some brothers from the execution hall. Even if I, Luo Huo, chase me to Beijing, I will chop Maile into pieces..."
Amidst Luo Huo's angry roar, Xiao Letian finally knew what happened after Mailer escaped.
After all, Mailer is a descendant of the Eight Banners. He has been proficient in bow and horse since he was a child. He can run for a whole day and night on horseback without going to the ground. The biggest weakness of the new army is that it has no cavalry. Maybe Xiao Letian has positioned his army well from the beginning. Yes, it is a Marine Corps with super combat effectiveness.
From now on, Xiao Letian's sphere of influence will be within the controllable range of battleships and artillery. The New Army will not engage in any major strategic detours. The New Army will only use battleships to control the coast and ports in the rivers.
Because these places are where China's wealth is concentrated, the areas along the rivers and coastal areas are destined to be Xiao Letian's sphere of influence.
Because of this, the cavalry training of the new army has not been very strict. Mailer and his companions must have the upper hand in this pursuit. When the battlefield became farther and farther away, and when the shouts of killing could no longer be heard, Mailer and his party finally felt relieved.
"General, there is a village ahead. Let's hide for a while and get some food. Even if the people can hold on, the horses have to rest..." A guard said panting.
Mailer looked at the horse with white smoke coming out of its mouth and nose, and knew that it would not survive without rest. "You four go and investigate first to see if there is any danger..."
"Hey..." The soldiers of the four people rushed into the village, and after a while they roared, "The village is empty, there is no one... Wait, there are a few fish that slipped through the net here..."
After a period of clanging noises, the guards shouted, "General, please enter the village, it's already safe..."
This village is very quiet. The people have fled long ago. Every house has been cleaned up, not even a grain of rice is left.
Mailer's stomach was growling now. He looked at the empty rice vat in front of him and kicked it angrily. He heard a thud, "Ouch..." Mailer hit his big toe, and he held his foot in pain. Jumping back and forth.
"General, here we are... We captured a caravan, it's pretty hidden..." There was a roar from the compound next door, and Mailer realized that he had entered the wrong yard.
After entering the courtyard next door, there was a body with separated head and head lying at the door. Blood spattered half of the courtyard wall. Next to the body were four thin boys kneeling, each of them shaking like chaff from fear. The four were like tigers and wolves. The soldiers were turning over the goods with knives.
"Good boy, look at... white fox skins, bear skins, wolf skins, there are also dried mushrooms, yellow mutton jerky, agate and jade... This is indeed the caravan of the Sihai Trading Company. Is this business done beyond words?"
"Don't worry about these inedible things for now. Let's look for grain and horse feed first. If we can just eat a bite, we still have to go on the road?" At this point, Mailer pointed to a boy who was only seventeen or eighteen years old. "Come here, sir." I have something to ask you..."
The pale-faced boy was so frightened that he knelt down. Mailer used his riding crop to lift the boy's chin. "What's your name? Why are you hiding here? Who are these goods prepared for? If you answer honestly, maybe I'll spare your life..."
"I, I, I... my name is Niu Zi, and these are goods from Sihai Trading Company... They are all ordered by foreigners from our shopkeeper... I didn't expect that on the way back, we encountered a war... We had nowhere to go, so we had to Hidden here..."
At this time, a soldier came from the back room, carrying a calico wrapper in his hand: "General, here are cooking cakes and some wine. Let's have a few bites of the ready-made yellow mutton strips on the truck... There is horse feed in the back room, and you can feed it in a while..."
Mailer finished cooking pancakes and mutton strips and chewed them in his mouth. "Niuzi, tell me how much money these carts of goods are worth? What is the most valuable thing..."
"Give me some water... Just tell me honestly, and I'll spare your life. What do you think?"
"I said, let me say this...the total price of these five carts of goods is one hundred thousand oceans, and the most valuable one is a Xiuyan Jade Buddha. The caravan tried its best to bring it in from outside the customs. It is a serious old Xiuyan jade... …”
"Oh..." Mailer was so shocked that the cooking cakes in his hand fell to the ground. "Are you telling the truth? The old jade produced in Xiuyan outside the Pass?" How could Mailer not be excited? As a Manchu, he knew all about the things outside the Pass. Those treasures, ginseng, mink, dongzhu, sea green, Xiuyan and jade are all the pride of the Manchu people.
Especially after the Manchus entered the customs, they protected the Longxing land outside the customs and did not allow private development by the private sector at all, creating an artificial market shortage.
This does not mean that the Manchus have economic acumen. In fact, they are protecting the outsiders and leaving them a retreat. If the Han people really produce another Zhu Yuanzhang in the future, if they cannot defeat him, they can still go back to live their own lives outside the barriers.
In Xiao Letian's memory, the Xiu jade produced in Xiuyan County is not expensive. The output of this kind of jade is still very high. You can buy a piece of good quality for a few thousand yuan. However, during the reign of the Qing Dynasty, Xiuyan jade was a beautiful jade that was as famous as Hetian jade. The royal family liked it, and the people naturally followed suit.
Mailer grabbed the boy's wrist and asked sharply, "Really Xiuyan jade? What kind of jade Buddha? How tall and big is it?"
"It hurts, it hurts... General, please be gentle... It is definitely Xiuyan jade. Our shopkeeper got it through the help of countless people... It is a foot and a half tall, and the whole body is emerald green and moist..."
Mailer has come to his senses now. The Xiuyan Jade Buddha, which is one and a half feet tall, is in such good condition. If it were placed in Beijing, it would cost at least 50,000 taels. Coupled with the extravagant wealth of my family, I can make up an integer of more than 100,000.
"This Jade Buddha is coming to me. This is my life-saving talisman... It's true that God will never stop me. As long as you have money, death sins can become living sins, and living sins can become innocence... Hahaha, this is really the blessing of Bodhisattva..."
Tian Xiucai hurriedly stepped forward to flatter you, "My lord, you are so lucky. With the money to clear the way, I also have a piece of information about the new army. These two things are definitely your life-saving talisman... Congratulations, lord, congratulations..."
Mailer's face finally turned a little red. He grabbed Niu Zi's collar and said harshly, "Bring the jade Buddha out...be careful. If you touch even a little bit of jade scum, I will kill you with a thousand swords." You are in trouble..."
Just when Niu'er was about to untie the rope of the truck, the three guys behind him suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, "Niu'er, you can't give it to them. If the jade Buddha is lost, we will be beaten to death by the shopkeeper, wu wu wu..." The cowardly fellow cried and kowtowed.
The irritable soldiers went up and kicked them, "Why are you crying? If you make any noise again, I will chop you to death immediately... you are a bunch of bastards..."
Niu Zi's eyes were red now, filled with tears. He carefully untied the innermost cart and pretended not to hear the crying behind him.
Hidden among a pile of top-quality fox and wolf skins was a very simple hardwood box. As expected, the box was more than a foot and a half tall and half a foot thick. The outside of the box was tightly wrapped with sheepskin.
When the box appeared, Mailer and everyone around him looked greedy. They were about to get the one-and-a-half-foot-tall Xiuyan Jade Buddha. This was a great treasure.
"Open it, be careful...don't touch my beloved..." Mailer's eyes were as big as bells.
At this time, Niu Zi's face suddenly changed, and his fierce expression was completely different from that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child. "You want it? I'll give it to you..."
Niu Zi roared and shook off the sheepskin, and overturned the wooden box with one hand. After the box fell to the ground, he looked again and saw that there was no jade Buddha inside. Each one inside was filled with bamboo grenades secretly made by the Special Administrative Region. The oldest model in Lotte's grenade library.
Niuzi grabbed a grenade and threw it towards the brother behind him, then he rushed towards Mailer with two bamboo tube grenades in his hand.
"Want the Jade Buddha? Go to the West to see it with me... Damn dog Tatars, I want to avenge my father..." The wax seal in front of the bamboo tube was knocked on the hardwood handle of the cart, revealing the inside. The yellow phosphorus ignition layer.
"General, be careful... We have fallen into a trap. The guy who was hacked to death at the door was this kid's biological father... He wants revenge..." The guards around Mailer are all children of his family members who have been with him for several lifetimes. His loyalty was truly genuine. He grabbed Mailer and threw him over the courtyard wall.
"Help me, sir, help the little one..." Tian Xiucai had seen this kind of self-igniting grenade. Once it exploded, no living thing would be within five steps. He would lie on the ground and crawl away before running away.
When the guards saw that the yellow phosphorus layer was smoking, they knew that time was running out and did not dare to bother them, so they turned around and fled. At this time, Niu Zi had already rushed over like a mad tiger, hugging one thigh tightly with both arms.
"We must die together...to avenge my father..."
"You little bastard, let go..." The soldier's iron fist slammed into Niu Zi's back. Blood came from the corner of Niu Zi's mouth after two punches, but he still held on to his thigh and refused to let go.
The other three guys also went crazy. They had all seen the tragedies in the surrounding villages these days, and the hatred in their hearts for these Tatar soldiers could not be extinguished even if they poured out the oceans and rivers.
"You want us to die? Then let's die together..." The three men also crushed the wax seal of the grenade, and the yellow phosphorus coating began to smoke. The three of them rushed forward and one of them hugged a soldier, holding their hands tightly. Locked.
"Let's die together...perish together..."
"Crazy, you are all crazy..."
There were only six guards left around Mailer, and now four of them were trapped. The remaining two turned around and ran away without any loyalty, not even paying attention to the sour scholar on the ground.
"Prime Minister... take revenge..." The words ended here. Several huge explosions were heard in the yard, and all the roars disappeared without a trace.
