One is located outside the city of Yangzhou rest garden is the most prestigious private garden in Jiangbei, the pavilion in the garden, the long corridor of the song, the pavilion of the clear water, the rockery and strange stones are all exquisitely clear, each to the fullest. However, because of the war, the owner of this closed garden has already lived in the city. In this closed garden, there are only some domestic servants.

However, in the early hours of this morning, a team quietly drove into the Xiuyuan and lived in this prosperous private garden. This army did not come here to rob, but was led into the garden by Zheng Xiaru's personal entourage.

After waiting for a whole day, as soon as it got dark, they left the park in a procession. When the troops reached the junction, a general in iron armor on his horse stopped his horse as a smaller unit departed.

"Judge General, you just lead a team of soldiers, can you do it? Why don't you bring two more teams? ”

Zhang Xiaojie, who led a pacesetter, looked at Shi Lei, who led a team of soldiers, and asked.

"I have enough troops here, but it's you, but I want to take the city!"

Looking at Zhang Xiaojie in iron armor, Shi Lei said with a smile.

Now he feels that when he was in Nanjing, Li Ziyuan and other generals from the backbone battalion left, which was a good thing for the loyal and righteous army, not to mention that their departure made the internal hidden dangers of the loyal and righteous army cleared, and more importantly, the position of Anzhong made many brave generals have emerged, such as the two brothers Xiaowu and Xiaojie of the Zhang family from Jiangyin, the former of them is very brave, and the latter is extremely cautious.

"Judge General, there are so many people on my side, but it's just a show, even if they make a slight move, not to mention anything else, they can take Yangzhou with the armored battalion alone!"

Looking back, Zhang Xiaojie looked at the five hundred soldiers wearing Ming-style iron armor behind him, and sighed in his heart, the Loyal and Righteous Army was just a group of foot soldiers wearing thin military uniforms, but the capture of the First Battle of Nanjing made the Loyal and Righteous Army suddenly slender. When the Qing captives entered the customs, a large number of ordnance was seized in the southern capital, and many of these ordnance were used by the Qing army, and many of them existed in the armory of Mancheng. After the siege of the Loyal and Righteous Army, with the advantage of being close to the water and the first to get the moon, it directly occupied the armory, and only the iron armor, cotton armor and paper armor captured as many as tens of thousands of sets, although nearly 10,000 sets of paper armor were handed over to the general, but tens of thousands of sets of iron armor and cotton armor still made the Loyal and Righteous Army immediately become an armored army, and even so, it was still rich, and it was no longer like in the past, and it was no longer necessary to use flesh and blood to resist the bow and arrow of the Qing army.

However, this armor is too heavy, just like this set of iron armor weighs fifty catties, even if it is carefully selected among nearly 3,000 people in a standard, only 500 sturdy soldiers can be selected to carry the armor. Otherwise, I'm afraid that all the people and horses can wear armor, after all, there are more armor than people in the loyal army.

"I don't need so many people over there, I wish Zhang Biaotong a smooth trip, and when the sky is bright, I will celebrate with Yu Biaotong in Yangzhou City!"

About half an hour later, in the reeds on the bank of the Liaojia River, Shi Lei silently stared at those boats, and the boatmen on those boats were the sailors of the Loyal and Righteous Army-that is, the brothers of the Cao Gang, and they were now the Loyal and Righteous Army.

"Judge General, are we going to send someone to the ship?"

Zhao Yuanlin opened his mouth and asked, as a military judge, although it was not the first time he had performed a mission, it was the first time that something like this had happened.

Shi Lei shook his head and replied.

"You don't have to go over the ship, they can't get on the boat!"

Maybe for others, they don't think this task is easy to accomplish, but Shi Lei knows very well that this is just a piece of cake.

Don't use an elephant to crack a nut!

Looking at the soldiers of the military law team behind him, they were all fierce soldiers in the army, and they were used to block the road and rob them...... It's so easy!

As the night grew darker and darker, Chen squinted as he stood on the boat, occasionally looking toward the shore.

"Brothers, be careful, we can't lose people to the military gate and our loyal army!"

When he shouted like this, he was grateful to the helper, no, it was the deputy commander of the water battalion of the Loyal and Righteous Army, if it wasn't for the deputy commander, how could he end up with this conspicuous fat difference, this time he could enter the army, and when the time comes, his slanted eyes will be developed.

For Chen Squint, who was born in Caowei, he never thought that one day he Chen Squint would be able to get ahead, as long as this matter is done, he will enter the eyes of the army, and when the time comes, the promotion is just around the corner, and when the time comes, who will dare to look down on him Chen Squint.

"Hehe, when the time comes, I will also get more than 20 taels a month......"

is so beautiful in his heart, at this time, Chen squinted and only felt that this ship was a little unworthy of his identity, this is just a one-sail boat, this kind of boat, used to transport grain, can be used to march and fight, it is really a bit risky, although the board is two inches thick, but in front of the franc machine, it is still like paper paste.

Because the space on the boat is limited, there is no way to hide people, so the soldiers are divided into two ways, in addition to the water camp, the military team led by Shi Lei on the shore is ambushed in the retreat road, so as not to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

After waiting for almost two hours, it was not until the day was about to be released that dozens of ox carts came over slowly, and it was not the officials and soldiers who escorted the ox carts, but the dart bureau in Yangzhou City.

When the ox cart finally arrived at the river, looking at the boats on the river, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said to his personal entourage.

"Quick, get them on a good springboard!"

Listening to the command, he shouted at the boat with his torch.

"Quick, hurry up and set up the springboard!"

When Changshun shouted at the boat, Chen Squint and the others over there immediately lowered the plank to facilitate the people on the shore to board the boat.

"How many are there?"

Shi Lei, who was standing in the reeds, asked casually.

Zhao Yuanlin glanced at it roughly.

"There are less than a hundred people, the dart master of the dart game. Judge General, you wait here for now, and let the little ones do this kind of thing. ”

"Hmm."

For Shi Lei, he would not show any bravery at all, but retreated directly, he was born in Jinyiwei and would not risk his own life.

The dart master in the dart board carried a heavy iron nail nanmu box and stepped on the gangplank to board the boat. For these dart masters, they had no idea that the boatmen on the ship would be cutting off the road, they were just carrying wooden boxes full of silver onto the ship.

The ship shook as the heavy wooden boxes landed on the planks, filled with white silver patterns.

There is no need to grab it directly!

All they had to do was wait for them to bring the silver to the boat, and although the dart master did not have any suspicion of the boatman, when each ship was full, they would leave a few dart masters with knives on board.

After carrying more than 30 boxes of silver taels on the ship in a row, there were six dart masters on each boat, and after a while, more than half of the dart masters got on the boat, and the dart masters on the shore were even smaller.

"It's finally settled!"

Seeing boxes of silver being carried onto the ship, Gao Chaoling finally breathed a sigh of relief, with this silver, no matter whose country he is, the Gao family will not be able to eat and drink for generations.

"After returning to my hometown in Shandong, I will first contract tens of thousands of acres of land for tax ......"

The rampant rogance of the Liukou and the massacre of the Qing captives, the current north is also a thousand miles of red land, and it is also the same with fewer people and more land, but most of the land is ownerless wasteland, because there is a master land that needs to be taxed, unless it is cultivated to afford the tax, so, even if it is a large family, it will not go to the circle of uncultivated land, after all, the land of the Qing Dynasty is much higher than that of the previous dynasty.

But now, Gao Chaoling is not worried at all, with this silver. Those lands are only a thousand taels of silver a year, even if they are handed over for decades, but they are only tens of thousands of taels of silver, but after a few decades, when the land is full of people, those lands will be even more valuable! Others don't have the money to pay taxes, but the Gao family does!

Just when he was thinking like this in his heart, he said to Li Pengcheng, the chief dart head of the Pengcheng Dart Bureau next to him.

"Li Darttou, as long as you can reach your hometown in Shandong smoothly this time, Gao will be grateful at that time!"

"Please rest assured, I will send the eldest master to his hometown in Shandong safely......"

Li Pengcheng, who has been playing darts for many years, naturally knows that this official is extremely generous when he leaves office, just like the one in front of him, and he directly offered a high price of 10,000 taels. How much silver was in these chests? He didn't know, and he didn't care, but with this money, the game would be able to tide over it.

Of course, at the same time, he also felt a little lucky, this surname Gao escaped like this, this Yangzhou is afraid that it is going to fall, as long as it is not fired, isn't this the luck of the people of Yangzhou?

He was extremely vigilant, and he did not board the ship while the others were carrying the silver box. Instead, he watched to the right and left, and it was not until the last box of silver was carried aboard the ship that he was a little relieved, and then he ordered the others to come aboard, but he still glanced at the reeds, and he always felt that someone was watching him.

When he looked towards the reeds, suddenly, he noticed that there seemed to be something unusual, and there seemed to be some red spots between the reeds...... Is that?

What is that?

Is it a glowworm?

Apparently not!

Suddenly, looking at the rows of faint red dots, a word came to his mind.

Bird Gun Rope!

"Quick, get on board, ......"

Li Pengyuan pulled Gao Xiang, and shouted loudly as he pulled.

"Boatman, sail the ship, sail the ......"

The sudden change made everyone stunned, and Gao Chaoling was even more at a loss to be pushed by Li Pengyuan, and the other dart masters even drew their knives one after another, looking like they were going to fight hard at any time.

Seeing this scene, Li Pengyuan hurriedly exclaimed.

"Get on board, they're getting birds......"

"Putting ......"

Seeing that he had been exposed, Zhao Yuanlin immediately gave an order, and a row of guns fired at the same time amid the sound of gunfire and firelight, and at a distance of less than 30 paces, the accuracy of the bird guns was extremely high, and more than a dozen people were immediately knocked to the ground, and a bullet hit Li Pengyuan's chest directly, and after being shot in the chest, he only felt that his whole body was weak, and he fell down.

When Li Pengyuan fell, Gao Chaoling was stupid, he stood there in horror, looking at the fallen dart master beside him, there was only one thought left in his mind, it's over, it's over......
