Chapter 934 The treasure house under the city of Yangzhou
God and Demon System Cultivation Madman
"Dig, dig down from here!" Hou Yu stepped out of a large room and came to the open outer courtyard. Although the blood on the ground added a bit of blood to the quiet courtyard, Hou Yu lay on the ground, his ears pressed against the ground. Without breathing two, Hou Yu jumped up and said loudly to a group of soldiers.
"Why are you still standing there? Dig me seven feet from here!" The team was overjoyed when they heard Hou Yu's orders and quickly shouted at his subordinates. Then they saw dozens of soldiers wearing armor outside the yard with hoes, sledgehammers and other tools in their hands occupied the yard in a swarm.
The hammer smashed the iron shovel and cut it into the cracks of the bluestone. Then several soldiers moved the iron shovel and pried the bluestone open. After moving seven or eight large bluestone slabs nearby, the river sand on the ground was exposed. The soldiers holding shovels rushed forward and dug out the layer of river sand and the surface soil until the shovel could not be dug, so they replaced it with an iron hoe.
After a while of tossing and a big pit was dug in the yard. Fortunately, the time was not long, a sound of gold and stone clashing suddenly came from under his feet. Hou Yu, who was waiting for tea, sat up and said, "Here you come!"
The team was quickly following Hou Yu and the others to the entrance of the cave. After about two meters of ground was dug, a square long stone appeared under the soil layer. A group of soldiers went down the cave and worked hard again. Finally, they found the edge of the stone. After some trouble, the stone was pulled up and a tunnel was exposed.
"First blow the air into the cave, and prepare for Shield War to continue!"
Obviously, this guy is already familiar with it, but he is busy in an orderly manner. Two wind-type spiritual masters stepped forward directly, without saying a word, and used their specialty skills. The whizzing wind poured into the tunnel from above the tunnel. This was mainly done to prevent someone from dying inside the tunnel and causing the air in the tunnel to rot.
After a gust of wind, several fully armed shields were the first to jump out of the tunnel. Huge shields were blocking them. In the narrow tunnel, they were enough to deal with most emergencies. What they mainly needed to guard against was not zombies, but those mice stained with death and the mechanisms that might appear in the tunnel.
This tunnel is just the passage of the underground palace of this family. This kind of underground palace is very common among wealthy families, just like the cellar of ordinary people. The underground palace is mainly used to store property in the home, and a wine cellar, an ice cellar or even a granary is built, and it is used to hide when there are disasters and difficulties.
Since the ground in Yangzhou was cleaned up, Yue Fei not only gathered most of the troops and restored the surrounding towns and advanced eastward, but also advanced one more task for the remaining troops stationed in Yangzhou, which is to poach others' wealth everywhere.
Yangzhou City is a thousand-year-old ancient city, gathering 30% of the wealthy nobles in Yangzhou. Even ordinary people have some spare money to store. Despite a plague and a riot, Yangzhou City has become a dead city, and many families have been robbed or even burned. However, every inch of land in Yangzhou City is worth every inch, so most of the silver treasury and other things are built underground.
First, it is safe, and second, the space is large enough. It can be said that there is a huge underground palace below Yangzhou City. Although this underground palace is not connected, most of the wealth in Yangzhou City is hidden under the ground. After all, the plague is coming urgently. Although many wealthy families escaped from Yangzhou and brought in a lot of money, most of the money cannot be taken away.
More than a dozen shield wars disappeared into the tunnel for two quarters of an hour, and soldiers retreated back to the entrance and said to the top: "Sir, you have discovered the silver treasury in the underground palace. No one has hidden in the underground palace. But you have found a nest of rats, all of which have been killed!"
"Person Team Zheng, you are a graduate of the college, and you are good at writing and painting. It will depend on you to count the property. Go down and transport all the property in the cellar. Don't let go. You all know the discipline in the army. Don't break the future for a little wealth. I don't want this knife to slash my own people's neck!"
"Zhang Tou, you're busy here, I have to go to the next house!"
"Hou Yingwei walked slowly!"
Hou Yu waved his hand and walked towards the next house. Hou Yu was the lieutenant of the scout camp in the army, and was directly under the division. According to the status of the scout camp, he was added half a level to the army. His lieutenant could become the deputy brigade commander level. Most of the scout camps were composed of strong people, just like Hou Yu, who had the strength of the intermediate level of the earth spirit.
He is a land wise man and has learned a set of earth-listening techniques. As long as his ears are pressed on the ground, he can clearly see the situation on the ground under his feet, and even a mouse or a bug cannot escape.
Hou Yu has been idle for a moment in the past few days, and he has gone one by one. After all, the entrance to the underground palace of these wealthy families is very hidden, and there are mechanisms. It is difficult for people who don’t know it to enter through the entrance, so they can only use this method of digging three feet into the ground to find the tunnel and then enter the underground palace.
Not to mention that Hou Yu ran to the next house, in this yard, a large box was already hung up by ropes. The big box, five feet long, three feet wide and four feet high, was extremely heavy. It was actually carried by four warriors. When the box fell to the ground and the lock on the box fell, the lid was pushed open, and a golden light flashed.
All of them are gold bricks of gold, ten kilograms per piece, neatly sized, ten horizontally, three vertically, and thirty layers per layer. Judging from the height, there are at least twenty layers. In this large box, gold bricks alone are 6,000 kilograms. In addition, the box is made of iron wood, and the weight is not light. This box is less than eight,000 kilograms. It is no wonder that the warriors who have increased their strength have to rise to four and feel breathless.
If this box of gold is made, it will be enough to make 100,000 gold coins. This large box is carried up from the underground silver warehouse one after another, with ten mouths of four golds and six silvers, all of which are cast into brick shapes. There are also five boxes of pearl agate jade, jewelry, necklaces, etc., as well as many other precious things such as coral screens, jade pillows, etc.
If this family gains only, the real money and silver will be less than 460,000 gold coins, and the others are worth one million. Unfortunately, the family's shops, land deeds, gold bills, silver bills and other easy-to-carry goods were taken away. Otherwise, this family would be able to collect millions of gold.
And this cannot be regarded as the richest family in Yangzhou City. At most, it is a second-rate family. You can imagine how much wealth has gathered in this huge Yangzhou City. This will be a number that Leng Zhuo dared not even think about.
After these property were dug out, they immediately transported the large ships from the West Wharf of Yangzhou with their books to protect them. They went upstream along the Songjiang River, transported Xiqian Lake, walked through the Jinhe Waterway, and transported Qixue Fort. They temporarily existed in the underground vault of Qixue Fort, and then calculated it.
No one knows how much wealth was plundered from Yangzhou, but the property carried out from Yangzhou was transported for half a year. At the most of a day, there were no less than 30 transport ships used, and they were fully loaded.
And this big harvest is not only limited to Yangzhou City, but also such a scene is being staged everywhere in the entire Yangzhou occupied area.
While working everywhere, Leng Zhuo had arrived in Suzhou City and met Li Changqing in person and made a promise. After Li Changqing received Leng Zhuo's personal promise, he did not delay at all and returned to Lijiabao overnight.
"Do you know how many mobs there were besieging Lijiabao, and how many mobs there were in Linshui County? How many troops can your unit mobilize to send troops to rescue the siege?" After Li Changqing left, Leng Zhuo asked directly to Zhou Yu.
Although Zhou Yu was the commander of the Qinglong Legion of the Great Chu, with more than 200,000 troops under his command, in Suzhou Prefecture, he only had 130,000 to 140,000 troops. Three other divisions were stationed in two western counties in Yangzhou Prefecture, Songjiang and Jinfeng Prefecture, and the west of Suzhou Prefecture is Taicang, Ningbo is Ningbo is the south, and Hangzhou Prefecture is the south. These places are now in troubled places, so although Suzhou has tens of thousands of troops, its troops are actually short of strength.
"When you go back to your highness, there are no less than 100,000 mobs in Lijiabao. If you include the mobs in Linshui County, there are more than 300,000. However, most of them are the people who are clamored and have to loot everywhere for their livelihoods, gradually becoming mobs!"
"My Qinglong Legion has six continental divisions, two continental divisions, and the continental divisions are stationed in Jinghu and adjacent waters, forming a defense line against Ningbo Prefecture and Hangzhou Prefecture. Inside, after months of cleaning, the place has been leveled. There should be no trouble in some troops being drawn. I want to draw 40,000 to 50,000 troops and horses to be drawn!"
"And as long as we can clear the siege for Lijiabao, tens of thousands of qualified soldiers will join in Lijiabao immediately. It is not a problem to draw 10,000 young and strong people. This should not be a big problem!"
"After taking down the Lijia Fort, let the Li family send people to contact the landlords who are almost unable to defend themselves. As long as someone is willing to surrender, we will rescue them. In this way, we don't actually need many soldiers to relieve the chaos in Taicang and calm the tide of mobs!"
"Oh, relying on these landlords and families, it's okay to have only two or three. If the confrontation is connected, the troops will be better than ours. At that time?" Leng Zhuo was also a little worried. Although it seemed that there was no need to draw many troops to deal with Taicang Mansion, who knew whether these Taicang landlords really surrendered. If the crisis resolved and turned against each other, it would be very bad.
"I have also thought about this issue. After we are surrounded, we can start to transfer their families and send them to Jinfeng Mansion or Songjiang Mansion by a large ship. In this way, there are hostages in hand. If these landlord families want to rebel, they must also consider it. In addition, the logistics of this army can be pinned in their hands. Even if they want to rebel, they will have no food and supplies!"
"Well, that's it!" Leng Zhuo nodded and said.
In October of the second year of Jianye of the Great Chu, Zhou Yu, located in Suzhou, commanded nearly 50,000 troops to leave Suxi City and stepped into Taicang Prefecture. He fought three times a day and captured several towns in Taicang, captured thousands of mobs, killed more than a thousand, and pointed the front of the troops at Lijiabao in Linshui County.
At this moment, all the buildings on the ground of Lijia Fort had fallen, and the mobs that occupied Lijia Fort began to dig three feet into the ground and dig out the underground palace where the Li family was located below the ground. When hearing the attack of the Chu army, the mob leader sent 30,000 people to gather on the bank of the river to block Zhou Yu's troops on the bank.
However, Zhou Yu had long been familiar with Taicang Mansion and knew all kinds of arrangements, so when he stepped into Taicang Mansion, Zhou Yu had made full preparations.
Zhou Yu's army did not eagerly cross the river, and set up camps on the spot, while the baggage battalion that followed the army began to become busy. The craftsmen in the army carried countless wooden parts from the cart and worked overnight to assemble them.
In one night, hundreds of catapults appeared in Zhou Yu's army, lined up across the river bank, aiming at the mob camp across the river.
