0918 Fortune
These burdens and cages were all forced by the soldiers to be discarded by the people. Because it is impossible to get on the ship quickly with these things, and it takes up valuable transportation space. So the soldiers threw all these things here.
Niu Mantun ran to the hill-like pile of burdens, waved a knife to cut a burden, only to hear a loud noise, a bag of copper coins actually spilled out! Zhang Liang: They suddenly shouted happily! But as soon as they barked, they heard Niu Mantun shout in a low voice: "Shut up! Do you want to lure people to rob us? ”
Zhang Liang and the others immediately gritted their teeth, and there was no sound in their mouths. Fortunately, at this time, the road was full of people, and no one paid attention to them, and the sky was dark, and no one noticed here.
Niu Mantun said in a low voice: "Hurry up and rummage through valuable things to get each." When I say let's go, we'll have to go! ”
Everyone silently pounced on each other and rummaged through it. When the inhabitants of the city left, they must have searched for valuable things in their homes. Even if they lose most of their belongings in order to get on board, they will surely carry the most valuable things with them. But it's usually just gold, jewelry, and so on. Like silver and copper coins, they are usually thrown here.
Therefore, as long as Niu Mantun picks up the gorgeous furoshiki and the gorgeous cage, he will definitely have a harvest!
In a short time, each person has a few hundred taels of silver on his body, and a few dozen taels of less. In addition, he was stuffed with a large amount of copper coins. At this time, Niu Mantun shouted in a low voice: "Hurry up, each person grabs a few pieces of clothing, wraps things in silk, and let's leave!" ”
Zhang Liang and Song Yonglian were naturally obedient, and hurriedly pulled a few pieces of clothing to cover the silver, and then wrapped them in a wrapper and tied them to their bodies. But the other soldiers, seeing the opportunity to make a fortune, refused to leave.
Niu Mantun said eagerly: "How big can there be in the dock?" Maybe the people inside are about to pour out! Will you still be able to keep what you have on you when the time comes? ”
When everyone heard this, they woke up like a dream, grabbed a few pieces of silk and silk, and disappeared into the night together.
Just as Niu Mantun guessed, they had just left the mountain-like baggage and cages, and the people who rushed into the dock retreated, and they retreated quite quickly!
cause
It was they who were bombarded by a dense platoon of guns and artillery! Rushing into the dock to arrest people, the Jin soldiers who robbed the silver had just rushed to the dock when they saw four other ships on the dock slowly setting sail. They immediately rushed to intercept the ships.
When they first approached, the ships were silent. Only the sailors kept sailing. But when they rushed closer, a large number of soldiers suddenly poured out from the side of the ship and in the cabin, and they fired at the dense Houjin army on the dock with their firearms! There were also people who took out the Fran cannon from under the side of the ship and fired at the Houjin army again and again!
The sudden and dense blow immediately killed and wounded the Houjin army on the dock! Moreover, when they rushed into the dock, they found that there was no one on the pier, and all the residents had already boarded the boat.
There is no benefit, and you can't kill or injure the enemy, you can only be killed by the enemy. So these Houjin troops retreated in embarrassment. After that, it is natural to find piles of baggage on both sides of the road. When the first place was found, when Jin Jun searched for the package and found silver taels and copper coins, a big robbery began.
Back at the camp, Niu Mantun and a few people hid their booty. Under the leadership of Niu Mantun, he began to enter the city to search. At this time, the news that there was a huge amount of property at the wharf had already spread throughout the Houjin military camp, and everyone ran to the wharf. There weren't many Houjin troops in the city. Niu Mantun and a few of them were like fish in water, and they grabbed a lot of money.
As for the docks, there was a small fire because of the looting! It wasn't until Gushan Ezhen ordered that more than a dozen heads fell to the ground and subsided.
It was just dawn and the sun was shining on the sea. A large fleet of ships had gathered, and they were transferring some of the excess population to other, looser ships.
Taking this opportunity, Niu Mancun also found Fan Hualong. Niu Mancun briefly recounted the last scene of the Yellow Dragon he saw to Fan Hualong, and finally said: "Although I haven't seen the final situation, I expect that General Huang will either commit suicide or must die at the hands of the Houjin Tartar!" ”
Fan Hualong hugged Huanglong's big seal, his teeth chattered, but the tears couldn't stop flowing down. Fan Hualong said sharply: "This revenge is not regarded as a human being!" ”
Niu Mancun comforted Fan Hualong for a few words and said, "General Fan, I don't know what your plans are in the future?" ”
Fan Hualong said: "As soon as I arrive in Shandong, I will go to the capital to face the saint." Return the seal letter of the lord to the imperial court. ”
Niu Mancun asked, "What about after that?" You should have some plans after that, right? Especially the people behind you, you should always think about them. ”
Fan Hualong raised his head blankly and said, "I don't understand these things. When the time comes, I will tell the court, and I will have the court to decide. ”
Niu Mancun shook his head and said, "Lord Fan, it seems that you are a general who only knows how to fight!" Don't you know that if this matter is decided by the imperial court, it is not said what the result is, but it is said that there is a result, and these people are starving to death! ”
Fan Hualong was even more dazed when he heard this. They knew that what Niu Mancun said was true, but he really didn't know what to do. He thought for a while and said, "Then please teach Brother Niu!" ”
Niu Mancun said: "Oh, save people to the end, send Buddha to the west!" I'll show you a clear path! Whether you want to go or not is your business. ”
Fan Hualong heard this and hurriedly said, "Thank you Brother Niu for your advice!" ”
Niu Mancun said: "After you arrive in Shandong, you will go directly to Lord Liu Pei, the chief soldier of Denglai." Although we are adrift overseas, we also know that Liu Pei and Lord Liu have a righteous heart! You are all marchers, and if you go and beg him, he will be able to settle these people, or at least not let them starve to death. ”
Fan Hualong hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Brother Niu, for your advice." ”
Niu Mancun shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank you first. Even if you go to the imperial court, I'm afraid there will be no place to place you for a while, what should you do? ”
Fan Hualong gritted his teeth and said: "Then I ask to go to Shanhaiguan and fight with the Tartars to the end!" ”
Niu Mancun said: "Shanhaiguan is the world of Liaoxi Jiangmen, where do you have the opportunity to lead the troops there?" ”
Fan Hualong himself was an officer in Liaodong, so he naturally had some understanding of the situation in Liaoxi. The Liaoxi generals headed by Zu Dabi cultivated their own wasteland and farmed the land, not to mention the taxation, and often got the silver of the imperial court, and their lives were very nourishing.
