Chapter 22 Breaking into the King's Treasure(1/2)
The Qinling Mountains run across the east and west, and contain countless small mountains and dangerous peaks.
Xiong Yuanba was rushing through the game while checking Baidu maps online. He estimated that he was still wandering around the Mount Lu, but in fact he had already walked out of the Mount Lu and entered the Shangluo Mountain area.
Where Xiong Yuanba is in a dense forest, there is a cold pond in front of the dense forest. This stream flows out from this cold pond and passes through this dense forest at Xiong Yuanba’s feet. It has been winding all the way, and I don’t know how long it has stretched into the mountains.
The voice of the speech came from the edge of the cold pond.
I heard a young man's voice saying, "Uncle Yufeng, we really won't try to guard Chang'an City? I just left like this. I always feel unwilling to give up and feel empty."
Then there was a calm and generous middle-aged man's voice, saying, "In fact, it's not just you, but even Your Majesty and the Prime Minister, I'm extremely unwilling to accept it. But now, what can I do? But this time, I'm a great success and entered the south of the Yangtze River with the strength of the country, and I may not be able to break out into a new world.
The young man said again: "I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of Ming troops in Jiangnan, but I don't know if this Nanjing city can be fought?"
The middle-aged man spoke in a heavy tone and said, "Xiao Nai, there were only a few people when we came out of Shangluo Mountain back then. It can be said that there were less than a thousand soldiers, and the generals were only you, me, Master Liu, and others. But in less than three years, we broke the city of Beijing.
Even if we abandon Chang'an, we still have a 100,000 army. Do you still know the virtues of those bad soldiers in the Ming Dynasty? Can you not defeat Zuo Liangyu or Gao Zeqing?
Don’t worry about whether these things are available or not. We should bury these property quickly and report back to Your Majesty as soon as possible."
Xiong Yuanba heard these two people speak with a little Shaanxi accent, and he didn't understand it very well, such as Crazy Uncle, Xiao Ai. But he understood the last sentence, and he wanted to have any treasures to be buried!
This is a hidden plot!
According to previous game experience, when NPC is gone through the plot, you cannot interrupt it, otherwise you may jump directly to the following plot, and you will not be able to hear some important dialogue clues.
Xiong Yuanba knew this truth well and quietly walked forward a few steps, staring behind a tree, looking towards the pool.
It didn't matter when he looked at it, but he was startled. He thought there were only two people outside the woods, but he didn't expect that he would know that there were only one hundred soldiers working next to the pool.
Some of these soldiers were holding shovels and picks, while others were unloading carts. They were wearing blue clothes and armor, and were dressed like the friendly forces they saw in the Qing camp.
The two people were talking, the two people who Xiong Yuanba just heard talking in the forest.
The older one is a man in his forties, with a fair face and a kind face. Although he is wearing armor, he looks like a teacher in a private school.
The young man looked handsome, but unfortunately he had a fox face and a pointed chin, just like a woman.
The two of them also took a shovel. Maybe they were tired of working just now, and they were chatting casually with the shovel.
Xiong Yuanba glanced at it and secretly complained that the modeling of this online game has been broken by Bangzi Chinese studies. A big man insisted on getting a plastic surgery face with awl. It was simply vulgar! A distorted aesthetic!
Only a real man with big faces and stubble faces like himself can be called masculine beauty! Unfortunately, secular girls now have too poor eyesight, and I have not met anyone I can appreciate.
The young man with a fox-faced face continued, "Uncle Yufeng, these red goods are buried in the mountains like this, don't be discovered by any farmers who come into the mountains to collect herbs."
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Don't say that you and I hide this batch of things secretly, you will never be found. In fact, even if you are really poached, it doesn't seem to me. Don't look at these things as valuable, but compared with the fertile land in Jiangnan, it's nothing.
These things are buried here, but they are actually an emergency need, so as not to be taken advantage of by Jianlu. When we successfully took Nanjing, we really took root in the south. The wealth of Jiangnan is several times that of the capital. For example, these things are as much as they need.
I told me that when His Majesty really settled down in the future, this batch of things would be buried in the soil and not dug out. Waiting for hundreds of years, any poor people who searched for treasures and found these treasures in the mountains is a strange thing.
Seeing the middle-aged man talking interestingly, the fox face couldn't help but continue saying: "Yes, yes, yes, turn around and tear the treasure map into two halves, and each of your descendants is half a picture. At that time, you need to piece two maps into one to find the treasure.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I just said that you don't listen to storytelling and operas on weekdays, but you just don't listen. Is it true that someone will find these things in the future and will beat you, the little fox's family sword technique, to get the treasure map.
The fox also smiled and said, "Uncle Yufeng, you are joking again. I grew up alone in the child's army. I don't have any family-born swordsmanship. That is, I just think about it on the battlefield and learn a few rough and practical moves. It's your Tianlong Sword Technique, which is the real unique skill in the martial arts world. I have time to teach me."
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I am just a trick in the world, that is, self-defense. It doesn't play much role in the battlefield. It's better to focus more on this battle formation, that is the ability of the real enemy of thousands of people.
Okay, I've almost finished resting. Hurry up and work quickly. Let's take our treasure - yes, the King of Breaking treasure, and make it more secret. It's better to ask Your Majesty to report it as soon as possible.
Xiong Yuanba was behind the tree, and heard the two of them talking about treasures, sword skills books, etc., and it was so itchy that they heard the four big words "Treasure of the King of Breaking". His heart couldn't help but thrilled.
He is a man!! The treasure of the King of Breaking!!!
You heard it right!
This is the existence of the hidden treasure world and absolutely no.1 in the entire five thousand years of China.
I don’t know how many steps it is higher than Shi Dakai’s treasure or Zhang Xianzong’s shipwreck.
This is a developmental rhythm.
This is not a hidden plot, it clearly opens up an epic plot branch!
It turns out that these people all seem to be Li Zicheng's subordinates. No wonder I felt familiar when I heard them chatting just now. When I was a child, I also watched Mr. Jin's "Snow Mountain Flying Fox". The plot in front of me was not very similar, why didn't I remember it just now!
Xiong Yuanba guessed correctly. These people were soldiers of the Dashun Army. The two people led were also very famous.
The older one was Dashun Junze Hou Tian Jianxiu, whose name was Yufeng. In terms of age, he still had to have Li Zicheng, so the fox-faced one was called Uncle Yufeng.
And the fox-faced person is not called "Xiao Ai". This person is Li Zicheng's godson, Zhang Nai, the Marquis of Yi. Because Tian Jianxiu has a Shaanxi accent, Xiong Yuanba was distorted.
Their visit to Shangluo Mountain to bury treasures started three days ago when Li Zicheng left Tongguan three days ago.
....
In fact, when Li Zicheng's main force retreated from Tongguan, the situation was already in danger for the Dashun Army.
The latest news from the sentry detectives in the north was that in order to attack Bidodo, the commander of the Western Route Army of Jianlu, Ajige, threw all the newly surrendered Han troops from Taiyuan behind, and asked them to stare at Li Guo from Yulin and Yan'an, Gao Yigong's troops.
He led Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi to a total of more than 60,000 main troops. He bypassed all Dashun towns and did not attack them. He went alone to go straight to Chang'an.
The Dashun Army is difficult to deal with. With the current strength of the Dashun Army, if the main force is pulled out and fighting alone with the Eastern or Western Army of the Qing Dynasty, the victory or defeat may be between 55 and 5.
But if you face two teams at the same time, you will definitely lose.
After Li Zicheng withdrew from Tongguan, he knew that how many days he could hold on to Tongguan alone by relying on Ma Shiyao's seven thousand men could only be determined by heaven.
If you defend, you will definitely not be able to defend it. There is a flat horse around Chang'an, and there is no danger to defend it. If you continue, you will inevitably be surrounded by two armies of Duoduo and Ajige, and there will be danger of being wiped out at any time.
So the first thing Li Zicheng did after running back to Chang'an was to hold an emergency military meeting to decide the future of the Dashun Army.
In fact, although China is large, there are not many places that the Shun Army can go to. In the Golden Palace of the King of Qin Palace (Note 1), Li Zicheng, Niu Jinxing and others planned to find out that there were probably only three places to go.
The first one is to go west and retreat to Gansu. When I was in and out of Gansu during the uprising, I was quite familiar with it. There are high mountains and dense forests and large areas. When I go there, even if the Qing Dynasty army has doubled, I can do nothing to do with me.
However, there is a fatal problem. Today's Dashun is no longer as many years ago. There are more than 100,000 troops in Shaanxi alone, not to mention the family members of Laoying. Gansu has little food and food, so these hundreds of thousands of people cannot survive.
Besides, Dashun almost landed in the country a year ago, and everyone felt that he was a figure in Lingyan Pavilion. But in less than a year, he ran to the deep mountains and dense forests to become a bandit.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. It would be fine if you have always been a bandit, but you have obviously had the opportunity to change your family, and now you have to go back to the mountains to fight guerrillas. The gap is so big that no one can accept it.
If I decide to go west to Gansu, I am afraid that after ordering, the entire Dashun Army will collapse.
The next day, we went south to Sichuan, and now Sichuan is the world of Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army. Although they are both rebels, they are now different from water and fire. Just a month ago, the Dashun Army and the Great Western Army fought in Hanzhong.
The most powerful war god in the Daxi Army, Li Dingguo, who was in the future, was defeated by He Zhen, the general surrendered by the Ming Dynasty, who was unknown at that time, and finally returned in disgrace.
Of course, this does not mean that Li Dingguo cannot fight, but that geographical conditions are limited. Sichuan and Shaanxi are separated by a Qinling Mountains, which makes food and grass transport inconvenient. Whoever attacks will suffer.
What happened to Zhuge Wuhou back then? He went out to Qishan six times, but he was unable to conquer Shaanxi in the end, and finally the star fell into the Wuzhangyuan. This shows how difficult it was to exert the northern expedition in Sichuan.
It is not easy to fight from Sichuan to Shaanxi, but it is even more difficult to fight from Shaanxi to Sichuan.
Jianmen Pass is natural danger, and one man should be the pass and ten thousand men cannot open. In the battle of Wei's destruction of Shu, Deng Ai detoured Yinping and led a thousand eight hundred people to roll down from the mountain wrapped in blankets. This is how he passed Jianmen Pass.
Now Li Zicheng's army is 100,000 and countless Dashun's family members. There are two Qing dynasties behind him to chase after him. You can't learn from Deng Ai and hundreds of thousands of people wrapped in blankets and jumped down from the mountain.
Once Jianmen Pass cannot be taken down, there will be a danger of being wiped out.
Then there is only the last third road left, heading south to attack Ming!
First, he used Shangluo, and after arriving in Jingxiang, he went down the river, advanced along the water and land, captured Nanjing, and used Jiangnan's wealth to slowly fight the attrition war with the Qing Dynasty.
Moreover, Li Zicheng in Xiangyang area also had an army that had been operating near Jingxiang for a year. He dared not say that it was as solid as a soup, at least food, grass and equipment could provide certain supplements to the army.
As for the four towns in Jiangbei and Zuo Liangyu's hundreds of thousands of troops in the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng didn't take them seriously at all. If these people were really useful, Emperor Chongzhen would not have been hanged in Coal Mountain.
Since the national policy has been decided, we must seize the time to act.
In fact, even if ordinary wealthy families move, they will have to work hard for ten days and half a month, let alone the whole country's full relocation.
Now there are only three or four days left for Li Zicheng, so he can only choose important things to move. Those who really can't move can only be burned down on the spot.
When the Dashun Army withdrew from Beijing last year, it took away countless gold and silver, with silver alone 37 million taels and 1.5 million taels of gold. And more were the goods that were filled with gold and silver when chasing the dirt and assisting the money, such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings, pearls, porcelain, jade, etc.
These things were brought from Beijing to Chang'an, but it would be inconvenient to take them away now.
There are also some things that I don’t know how to deal with, such as the former Ming official seals and official deeds collected from various places in the Ming Dynasty. These things are piled up like small hills.
You should say that these things are useful, but no one has collected them in the pawn shop. If you say that they are useless, you may still be useful in the future. It is inappropriate if you burn it with a fire.
What remains are some strategic materials, such as iron ingots, ox horns, carved feathers, fish glue, etc. Several large warehouses are reserved in Chang'an City.
If the army goes on an expedition, it can only carry some of it, and it may be difficult to move all of it away.
There are probably many things like this that are valuable, but they cannot be turned into money immediately. It is inconvenient to go on an expedition with the army.
So Li Zicheng simply thought of a local method when he was a bandit, which was to first find a land to dig a hole and bury it. When the news became weak, he would find someone to dig it out.
The place where this treasure was hidden was finally chosen in a place deep in Shangluo Mountain.
At that time, Li Zicheng was defeated by the coalition forces of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting in Tongguan, and in the end there were only eighteen cavalry left. He ran to the Shangluo Mountain to recuperate and recruited the subordinates of heroes. Two years later, he took advantage of the famine in Henan and went out to Shangluo Mountain to achieve hegemony in one fell swoop.
It can be said that if there were no dormant years in Shangluo Mountain, there would be no more than Li Zicheng, the current Emperor of Dashun Yongchang. Therefore, Li Zicheng could be said to be clear about the mountains, rivers, terrain and even grass and trees in Shangluo Mountain.
Moreover, in a few days, the army that was moving eastward will also pass through Shangluo Mountain and can take care of it.
However, the location of the treasure burial has been decided, so this candidate has to be considered.
Treasure hiding is of great importance. Once the war is unfavorable, these things may be your own return, so you must find a real confidant to do it.
First of all, civil servants like Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance are not good. Not to mention the force of the military, even if scholars say they have too many eyes. Although they are in a high position, they are far less reliable than their old brothers.
