Chapter 208: The Beginning of Chaos
Juzhou.
Xu Shiyang held a stack of paper full of handwriting and read slowly:
"There are 5,000 forbidden troops, 3,000 craftsmen, 300 monks, 500 maids and maids, and 10,000 family members, which is 20,000 people."
Before the team set off, Xu Shiliu sent the information such as the composition of the team, the route of action, and the timetable directly to Xu Shiyang through the sea ship.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Xu family, the whereabouts of the affinity team are completely transparent.
Now, Xu Shiyang is sitting in the study of his mansion, carefully examining this important information.
Opposite him, there were several commanders of the new army: Xu Shisong, Gongsun Sheng, Luan Tingyu, Sun Li, as well as Xu Da, Xu Er, and the brothers Xie Zhen and Xie Bao.
Other so-called senior officials at the level of battalion commanders of the new army are actually more like nominal names, and they usually do not participate in Xu Shiyang's private meetings now, so the people here are the main leaders of the new army at present.
Unlike the previous kind of meetings where there was only boiled water, since the last time he got a hint from his father, Xu Shiyang has a special affection for the form of tea party, so now every officer who does it again has a cup of tea in front of him, as well as a stack of small refreshments.
"There are quite a few people, but only the forbidden army has combat effectiveness, and the rest of the people are not in danger." Gongsun Sheng took a sip of tea and asked slowly, "Commander, how much wealth does the fleet have?" ”
"The money is 2.05 million yuan, and the silver silk is 300,000 horses each." Xu Shiyang flipped through the pieces of paper and said with a smile: "According to Shiliu, this is just the money on the official side, and some big businessmen will take this opportunity to trade with the Tartars, so there are still a lot of wealth and grain used to trade with the Tartars that are not on the books, and Shiliu can't figure out how much there is." ”
Hiss......
There was a gasp in the study.
2,650,000 horses!
All the people here combined, they have never seen so much wealth in their lives!
"It's like a child holding gold through the city!" Gongsun Sheng sighed with emotion.
Xie Bao said with red eyes: "Commander, let's rob them!" ”
"That's right! Robbed them! Xie Zhen also shouted: "With so much wealth, you don't have to worry about the expansion of the new army tenfold!" ”
"That's the ...... of the imperial court." Xu Shisong was a little hesitant, he was closer to the kind of traditional general, and he was probably the most loyal among the people here who were regarded as the orthodox Great Zhou court.
"Big brother, that's not the wealth of the imperial court."
Xu Shiyang raised a few pieces of paper in his hand and said with a smile:
"If you leave the Yangtze River, it will be the wealth of the Tartars, and we will take it reasonably."
Xu Shisong thought about it for a while and felt that this was indeed the truth.
You can't just because it's from the imperial court, you have to send so much wealth to the Tartars, right?
It is better to use it to rush the military funds of the new army to resist the enemy.
"That's it, we can't let the peace team go into the hands of the Tartars!"
Xu Shiyang looked around at everyone and knew that everyone had made up their minds to intercept the peace team, so he continued with satisfaction:
"The Tartars are still in Liaodong, they have always been waiting for the New Year's coins in Yanyun, and this year will not change."
"So, we have three main opponents this time."
"First, the five thousand forbidden troops escorting the Heqin team, they are very well-equipped, but they don't have a high fighting spirit - everyone is worried that the Tartars will snatch them together."
Xie Bao, who had seen the Golden Gun Class in Dutingyi, said disdainfully: "Hmph, just those forbidden troops, stupid as quails, give me a thousand soldiers to kill them all!" ”
Xu Shiyang smiled, did not answer, but continued:
"Second, the private guards and Zhuang Ding of the Jiangnan gentry, I estimate that there can be a thousand people, the equipment is also good, and the will to fight is not clear, it is not excluded that there are a few Tartars or Wokou sitting on the detective to mix in it."
"Third, the canal dock fort that carries the fleet, these people are familiar to us, and the equipment is relatively poor, but they are very capable of fighting, and they have a good will to fight."
The people of the canal dock fort are mainly slender men, each of them is strong, they are more brave and ruthless on weekdays, and they are relatively united, so they belong to the group of more combative people in the dock fort.
Xu Er immediately said:
"That's easy to deal with, we don't have to uproot all the canal docks, only deal with the key ones, and ensure that we can stop the fleet."
"We're going to wipe out all the Dock Forts one day."
Xu Shiyang smiled:
"But now, Xu Er is right, we only need to deal with a few key canal dock forts to ensure that we can stop the fleet."
"Which target?" Gongsun Sheng asked.
"Zhujiazhuang, I think, Zhujiazhuang is the best target."
……
Gangnam.
Ding Xiaoyi, the boss of Lin'an Mansion, bypassed the courtyard and came to a small courtyard.
Doo-do-doe, he knocked softly on the door.
"Who?" A gruff voice inside asked.
"It's me, Ding Xiaoyi."
Squeak, the door opened, and a dark-skinned, bearded guy welcomed Ding Xiaoyi in.
"Xiao Yi, you're here!"
"It's not too late." Ding Xiaoyi replied nonchalantly.
"It's not too late, I'm all hairy!"
"It's a good thing that you reckless man can be idle, otherwise you have to break something big!"
With that, Ding Xiaoyi walked into the house with the bearded man.
There were several men with meaty faces sitting there, led by a tall man, who was stronger than everyone around him, and it was hard to think about at first glance.
Ding Xiaoyi ignored others, and bowed directly to the tall man, and shouted respectfully: "Holy Father! ”
This person is officially the leader of Manichaeism in Lin'an, Fang La, a native of Chun'an County!
"Xiao Yi, what's going on in the market now?"
Looking at Fang La's expression, he also seemed to be a little anxious, but as a leader, he also knew that he would never be in a hurry to do big things.
Therefore, he could only try to suppress his inner emotions and quietly wait for Ding Xiaoyi's news.
Now, the news is here.
"The soldiers have no fighting spirit, and the people's grievances are boiling."
Ding Xiaoyi replied with a sneer:
"I look at this big week, it's going to end!"
"Good!"
Fang La stood up and shouted:
"In this way, it is the time for our heroes to build a great achievement!"
"Xiao Yi, do you have a young brother?" A monk sitting next to Fang La asked softly.
Ding Xiaoyi replied: "Beat the old brother 50, if you make noise, you can make up a number of 300." ”
"300, plus our brothers' respective centaurs, can there be two thousand, is it a little less?" Fang La seemed a little worried.
"People aren't the problem." Ding Xiaoyi said: "Now that the imperial court has just included thousands of craftsmen to send the tartars, and there are rumors on the market to root thousands of women, people are panicking, as long as we climb the heights, it will be easy to get an army of 100,000!" ”
"Well, what Xiao Yi said makes sense." The monk continued: "The forbidden army also has 5,000 people who have followed the north, and without this elite, we will have a greater chance of winning!" ”
"It's just that there is a point, we lack blades." Ding Xiaoyi said: "I only have some whistle sticks and iron rulers in my hands, it's okay to fight, but it's not enough to kill." ”
"That's easy! Together, I immediately led my brothers to fight the ordnance prison first! The bearded man shouted, "There must be blades there!" ”
"Haha, good!"
Fang La laughed and said:
"In this way, the big thing can be decided!"
"Go back and gather your brothers, July 15, let's burn incense and start an incident!"
"Kill the Dog Emperor! Sleeping Queen!! ”
