Chapter 339 Gunpowder Smoke

Chapter 339: Smoke

"Tomorrow, Xiao Shunzi, you load all the five million silver coins from Baoyuan Bureau and transport them to the bank." Yang Jingwei was extremely irritated, abandoning the troubles he had just made and starting to do his own thing.

"As for your order, Your Majesty." Xiao Shunzi immediately agreed. The emperor had spared him, which was a good thing.

"I have to forget that five million pieces are about 220,000 kilograms, and I have to load more than 100 vehicles. When transporting, remember to transport them at one time. When transporting them on the road, find someone to knock over a few convoys of silver transport vehicles, knock out the silver coins inside, spill them all over the ground, and let others see..." Yang Jie said.

Xiao Shunzi and Li Ruolian looked at the emperor in surprise. Why did they knock out the silver? The ancients said that wealth is not revealed, and the emperor wants it?

"Your Majesty, this..." Xiao Shunzi was confused.

"I want to ask why, haha, I said that I should do the reputation of military tickets well. However, the people only recognize the silver and do not recognize my military tickets very much. I have no choice but to open my eyes and see my family's assets, so that everyone can believe that after getting the military ticket, they can be exchanged for sufficient silver..." Yang Jing was forced to make a bad move, and a "car accident" was involved in a "car accident" and knocked out the silver in the car to let everyone see their own family's assets and let everyone have confidence in their military tickets. Moreover, the military operations in Shaanxi have already started, and wartime expenses, post-war rewards, pensions, etc. have to raise money. Therefore, Yang Jing began to raise money in the Shaanxi battlefield, which is about to start.

"Ah!" The two of them looked at the emperor in amazement. The emperor was so... he didn't play according to common sense.

"Don't just worry about it. Think about how to play this drama of my life well. Tomorrow, in addition to arranging a convoy for people to collide with silver coins, we also have to arrange the "masses" to mix in the crowd, and tell how many silver coins were transported this time, what was it for? How many silver coins are there in each car, intentionally or unintentionally, let the people know my family's background and let the people believe that my military ticket is guaranteed by silver. Do you understand?" Yang Jing said his plan.

"Ah!" The two of them could stuff an egg into their mouths. The emperor asked them to do such a thing... It was really beyond their expectations. Who gave this trick to the emperor!

"Do you two understand?" Yang Jie also has some "party members" now. You no longer have to come forward to make such a thing, just ask someone to arrange it. Yang Jie has no choice. The more you are short of money, the more you have to dress yourself up and not lack money. This is absolutely indispensable.

"Your Majesty, this... is to let the people see an "accident", and then through this "accident", you know that Your Majesty has money and does not lack silver, and military tickets can be exchanged for silver coins at any time, right?" Xiao Shunzi was very surprised. The emperor actually asked them to do this. He had to repeat what he heard, for fear that he would hear it wrong.

"Yes, military tickets have always been a headache for me. I have just said that the credibility of military tickets should be done. Don't let the people always get military tickets for the front foot, and then exchange them for silver coins. In this way, I have no room for maneuver. Therefore, your task this time is to make the people believe that this batch of silver is the guaranteed bank I have given to the military tickets to the bank and is available for the people to exchange military tickets at any time. My military tickets are guaranteed by silver coins and are of credibility..." Yang Jing ordered again.

Xiao Shunzi and Li Ruolian understood the emperor's meaning. They all knew about military tickets. Li Ruolian was directly involved in the exchange of military tickets, so he naturally knew the details. Hearing that the emperor arranged this for military tickets, he believed it. Although this matter was a bit ridiculous, it was reasonable, because now the common people have obtained military tickets and exchanged them for silver coins. It is not a night, for fear that their own money will be wasted overnight.

"I understand. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will send someone to perform this show well and ensure that the people believe that Your Majesty's military ticket is very good." Xiao Shunzi agreed without thinking. This kind of thing is actually very simple. More than one hundred cars of silver coins are loaded with two thousand kilograms on one car. There is no need to be scheming. Just ask someone to hit him a few, and the white silver coins will be scattered all over the street. At that time, I will send someone to add fuel to the fire and talk about it. The emperor's wish will naturally be fulfilled.

"I obey the order, I will definitely handle this matter with Your Majesty, so that the people will have confidence in the military vote." Li Ruolian didn't think much and agreed immediately.

"Okay, I don't care about how to arrange it. Anyway, my request is to make sure that the silver transport is known to everyone. The car that carries the silver must be heavy, and don't always make up the numbers. If the car hits, hits him a few cars, sprinkle all the silver coins on the car, so that the people can see the white silver coins. Those who are hiding in the crowd must explain in a timely manner. Anyway, it is necessary to hit the silver coins this time vigorously..." Yang Jingwei said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely do it for Your Majesty." Xiao Shunzi and Li Ruolian agreed without vaguely. This matter was really easy.

"Okay, then you can go and discuss it. Look at this matter, how to operate it, and discuss the details. Tomorrow, I will see the results and will carry out extensive publicity in the newspaper to help you expand your influence..." Yang Jingyou said.

Yang Jing arranged this "car crash performance" not only to perform for the people, let the people see their family background, and let the people believe that their military tickets are very credible. More importantly, Yang Jing is preparing to perform for those nobles and officials. Yang Jing is preparing to sell stocks. Now, the stocks have been frozen and are in a fermentation period. The act of whether he wants to sell or not will make those idiots suspicious. Now, several cars of silver coins have been overturned on the street. This unintentional "news" revealed will make those idiots believe that they are not short of money, that their stocks may not be sold again, that they believe that they are reluctant to sell Liulizhai's stocks, creating the illusion that it is not cost-effective to sell Liulizhai's stocks... It is natural that the stock price increases.

...

In Shaanxi, northwest of Chengcheng, an army of more than one thousand people has surrounded a Tuxiangzi called Aizhai.

This earthen wing called Aizhai was to kill the old nest of the Baishui magistrate Wang Douyao and Wang Er's old nest. He also stole a landlord earthen wing and rebuilt it. Wang Er brought hundreds of people with him. With his familiarity with the local terrain, he also caught countless hide-and-seeking times with the official army. Originally, the official army was coming to encircle and suppress the enemy in large numbers, so he shouldn't have hid in this earthen wing. However, the current situation is very different from the previous encirclements of the official army.

Before this encirclement and suppression, there was news that the Holy Emperor had immigrated. As long as you walk down the river, you can always find the emperor's relief point. If you find the relief point, you can live. The emperor will send a boat to transport you to the south, wherever you go to build a lake and start your life again. Many farmers who rebelled with Wang Er left in the dark and went to find the emperor's relief point. I don't know if the road is not important, just walk down the river. Those who followed Wang Er just wanted to have a bite of food. Now, not only food, but also land can be divided, so naturally they will not follow Wang Er to do this business without the last meal.

Therefore, although Wang Er played tricks on the government army several times and the encirclement and suppression of the government army was ruined, his ability to move was getting weaker and weaker. Now, there are only more than 200 young and old people, and only seven or eight hundred people are together.

"Big boss, do you think of a solution! The official army is close to the outside of the village. What should we do? Should we run or stay? Let's make an idea... This time, I heard that it is the emperor's new army, one of the few elites in the world, and it is different from those before. This time, they seem to have brought a lot of cannons. This time, I'm afraid they are not as lucky as they did..." The person who spoke was Zhong Guangdao, who killed officials and rebelled with Wang Er. In this village, he was the second leader. The one he called was Wang Er.

Wang Er sat decadently on the leader's chair and no longer had the majesty of the past. Recently, he felt that things were getting worse and worse. In the past, there were hundreds of people who followed him to kill officials and rebel. Later, the number gradually increased. There were once one or two thousand people, but it was prosperous and became a famous mountain king in several nearby counties. However, since the emperor and other immigrants came out, he felt that life was getting harder and harder, and people were decreasing every day, and they were all heading for the emperor to immigrate. According to the people who had visited, this was indeed happening, along the river.

When you walk, people usually guard the intersection of the river. As long as you are willing to follow them, they will give you food and transport people to Dongting Lake with grain. I heard that they are building fields around the lake and then they will give twenty silver coins a deposit. What is silver coins? It is a magical thing that can be blown. Wang Er once took the silver coins alone and blew it all night to listen to the unique "buzzing" sound of silver coins. This sound is really special. Wang Er has always wanted to find out where the sound came from.

"Original, let's run. We are not the opponents of those official troops. I saw from a distance. They are not ordinary officials. They walk and even walk in the same way. Where can there be such an official army in the world? They also brought a lot of cannons. Our earthen encirclement is afraid that they can't stand their guns. I see, they are now setting up cannons, and they will be going to fire cannons in no time. At that time, they will not be able to run away..." The third leader said anxiously.

"Boss, you're saying something!" Zhong Guangdao asked anxiously.

Wang Er sat decadently on the leader's chair, his eyes a little dull, and said, "Run? Where to run? The south and west are rivers, and the government troops sent people to guard the other side of the river. As soon as we show up, they will know, let alone there are not even ships. The government troops are in the east and Luochuan to the north. However, can we run the government troops with our families? Didn't the third brother say that they have hundreds of horse troops? Can we run the horses?"

"That's the boss, we can't just wait for death like this. Otherwise, we will hide in the mountains as before. With our familiarity with the mountains, would those official troops dare to follow us into the mountains?" Zhong Guangdao said anxiously.

"Forget it, second brother, if we enter the mountain, how long can we eat our food? I'm afraid we can't eat it for a month... Oh..., now, there is no grain in the field, and there is only some surplus grain in the large households. What should we eat after entering the mountain? Everyone is with their families. I, Wang Er, can't watch everyone starve to death, right? I, Wang Er, rebel, isn't my killing official just to find stutters for everyone? I brought everyone to the death ground. I, Wang Er, is not that kind of person..."

"This is not possible, that is not possible, so what should we do?" Zhong Guangdao shouted. At that time, they were so happy that they killed officials and rebelled, robbed wealthy families, and played hide-and-seek with the government army. However, since the emperor's immigrant came out, life became obviously sad. People were fewer every day, and people's hearts began to disperse, so the team was not easy to lead. With a future, who would follow them to kill their heads?

"Oh..., it's too late! If I, Wang Er, killed that dog official for a year, I, Wang Er, wouldn't have ended up like this! Alas, Holy Emperor! Why didn't you ascend the throne a year earlier? Otherwise, I, Wang Er, wouldn't have to kill the official and rebel... Forget it, forget it, second, third, you ordered the men, women, young and old in the village to lose their weapons. When the official army came, they all said that they were tied here by us. They were all good people. They all immigrated to the south, and went there to find food and take a way out. Shaanxi is no longer a place for people to stay..., you tied me and sent me to the government army, and I, Wang Er, took this guilt alone..." Wang Er said with a vicissitudes of expression.

"How can this be done? If you want to die, everyone will die together. I will try my best to find them..."

"Lao Lao, don't go, they are amazing..." Wang Er shouted quickly. But it didn't work anymore. The man called the third one had already rushed out.

Wang Er's eyes were dull for a while and did not chase him out. Instead, he said to Zhong Guangdao, the second in commander, "Second, do what I said. If it is too late, it will be too late. All the people in the village will lose their weapons. They say that they are all good people tied up by us nearby and are all ready to find an immigration site. If the official army asks where we are, they will say that some of them have long dispersed. Some have migrated along the river, and some have heard that the official army has come to encircle and suppress it and run to the mountains to hide. If you don't want to go out with me, just hide your identity with everyone. Brother, I will find a way out for everyone..." Wang Er's eyes were desolate, and he looked like he was saying goodbye.

Zhong Guangdao's eyes were filled with tears and cried. Didn't they kill that dog official because the dog official did not let everyone live? Now, there is a way out, but the boss can't go this way. In order to find a way out for them, the boss is ready to die by himself.

...

Not long after, a shocking sound rang out, followed by a dense musket sound. Next, there was peace.

Wang Er's dull eyes shed tears, and there was no trace of his spirit in his eyes. He took off his shirt and tied himself up with a rope. He silently walked towards the Tuweizi gate. Outside the door was the official army.

Zhong Guangdao shed tears and threw the knife to the ground. He strode out of the room, not chasing Wang Er, but walking backwards.

Wu Sangui stood under a big tree and observed the earth encirclement. The earthen wall was not high, less than one meter high, which was the earthen encirclement of the countryside that the rich people in the country defended against bandits. With their cannons, only a few cannons were needed, and this earthen encirclement would collapse. Wu Sangui didn't take this earthen encirclement seriously at all.

There are almost no people on the earthen enclosure, and I don’t know what medicine they are selling. Logically, at this time, the two sides should be in a state of tension.

"How is the surround in each county?" Wu Sangui asked expressionlessly.

"Go back to Qianhu, along the Luoshui coast, Baishui, Yijun, and the central counties received the order from Lord Bi Zi, sent people to take over the ships crossing the river, and sent people to guard the rebels along the river to strictly prevent the rebels from crossing the river, and Luochuan also sent people to guard the main road. Now, the rebels have no way out. This kind of earthen encirclement is much simpler than the city walls during our exercises. If you take down a cannon, you will have nothing..."

"Don't take it lightly. We cannot lose this battle, but we must also win the ease and freedom. We must never suffer too much casualties. Otherwise, it will be our fault for hurting the new army's spirit..." Wu Sangui heard the news and saw that all counties had done what was arranged in advance, so he felt relieved. Those who fought may not be able to do it, but it should be fine to guard the intersection. He still has 400 cavalry. If the rebels dared to run towards Luochuan, it would be better.

"Thousand households have to learn the lesson."

"Now, we are not afraid of them running away, nor are we afraid of them coming out to fight, but we are afraid of them hiding in the mountains. That would be bad. In this way, we may be here..."

"Thousands of households, look, there is something happening..."

Wu Sangui also saw that the gate of the earthen wing suddenly opened, and more than a dozen people waving their swords rushed out from inside, and rushed towards the new army's position like crazy.

Before these dozen people rushed to the front of the New Army's position, the New Army's cannons opened fire, and a bombardment was made. Then, the muskets fired one after another, and the smoke dissipated. There was nothing but the ground of minced meat. The battlefield was extremely quiet.

On the other side of the Tuweizi, the gate was open and no one could be seen again.

The new army had just shot for a round. The new army was filling in gunpowder lead in an orderly manner. Suddenly, they found that the battlefield was quiet. When they looked up, they found that the enemy on the opposite side no longer existed. Apart from some meat broken by artillery and guns, they could no longer find anything else.

"Qianhu, what's going on...? It's over?"

Wu Sangui took out his telescope and carefully observed the situation inside the earthen enclosure through the door.

"Thousand Houses, it seems that someone has come out..."

Wu Sangui nodded and put away the telescope. He could see very carefully without using the telescope. From the earthen enclosure, a man walked out of the earthen enclosure, shirtless, tied up with a rope, and walked through the pile of minced meat expressionlessly and towards the new army.
