Chapter Forty-Nine: The Little Devil is also very good at making money
Looking at the Japanese captain Hegu Plain, who was beaten into a hornet's nest, Hu Biao, who led the team to attack the city guard, also knew that in the previous situation, the prisoners of war who rushed into the city guard station were all red-eyed, and they would not hesitate to shoot when they saw a living person.
Originally, I still wanted to arrest him alive, but by the way, I interrogated him to see if he could interrogate some information. But right now, there is not a single living person in the entire city guard. Together with several civilians living in the city guardhouse, they were shot dead by the prisoners of war.
War, sometimes so cruel, doesn't take into account who is guilty and who is innocent!
"Second bolt, pass my order, start cleaning up the battlefield! Tell the prisoners of war that all captures must be handed in, and that they will be rewarded for their merits when they are counted. Whoever dares to hide valuables privately, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people. ”
"Yes! What if they don't listen to orders? ”
"Buckle it up first! In addition, go to the barracks and call Tian Sili and them over. Inform Lao Qin and let him withdraw into the city and be responsible for guarding the city gate. Organize a group of prisoners of war to take to the streets, maintain order in the county seat, and prohibit anyone from attacking and harassing the people. ”
"Yes! I remembered! ”
Knowing that the style of some soldiers in the national army is not very good, their brains will often become impulsive when they win or lose battles. Hu Biao, who didn't plan to stay in the city for a long time, didn't want these soldiers to be rescued just now, but they ran away to harm the people.
If someone dares to violate military discipline and really do something that harms the people, Hu Biao will also enforce military law mercilessly. Even if there are not many people under him who can really trust, Hu Biao believes that Tian Sili and these officers will sell him face.
The most important thing is that although these prisoners of war were rescued, how to escape from the Japanese encirclement, I believe that many officers have no idea. It would be more difficult to go to Nanking now to join the main forces than to break through from other directions.
If nothing else, Nanjing has been surrounded by Japanese regiments at this moment. If you want to rush into the city to join the anti-Japanese forces, the chances of success are definitely not very good. To break through from other directions, it is also necessary to beware of the encirclement and interception of the Japanese city defense troops.
Tian Sili, who was directing the prisoners of war in the barracks to clean up the battlefield and count the supplies, saw Huang Erzhuan running in a hurry, and said happily: "Captain Hu has taken the city guard?" ”
"Yes, Captain Tian, our captain asks you and the other officers to come along. In the previous battle, the commander of the little devil has been killed. However, before he died, he should have reported the attack! ”
As soon as they heard this, several officers who stayed beside Tian Sili said with an ugly expression: "This is trouble!" ”
"Afraid of what? If it weren't for Captain Hu's sacrifice to save us, we would have died in prison. Lao Tian, I'll go with you, even if you die this time, Lao Tzu would rather die on the battlefield than be a prisoner again. ”
Among these captured officers, some still feared the Japanese army, and some were full of hatred for the Japanese army. The various experiences after being captured made many prisoners of war well aware of the cruelty of the little devils, and they made up their minds to rather die than be prisoners.
In fact, the rescued prisoners of war also knew that when the Japanese encirclement and suppression troops arrived, they were afraid that they would no longer be merciful to them. Even if they want to be prisoners, it is estimated that the little devil will not agree.
In view of this situation, those fearful officers could only sigh and say, "Let's go, go and hear what Captain Hu has in mind!" This place is not safe, and there are troops of little devils stationed in several surrounding counties! ”
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the prisoners of war to clean up the battlefield, Hu Biao called Xu Sandao, who rushed to converge, to his side, and after whispering an explanation, Xu Sandao was also shocked and said: "Captain, have you joined the military command?" ”
"! The military commander wanted to recruit me, but I didn't agree! Okay, you just need to know that this is my deal with the military commanders. Now we don't know much about the situation outside, and we urgently need some information from the military command.
In order to bring these prisoners of war to a safe place, it was necessary for the military commander to provide some information about the Japanese army. Walking around with so many prisoners of war is very likely to crash into the ambush circle of the Japanese army. There are many people, and today is different from the past! ”
"Okay, I got it! Shall I call someone, or? ”
"Let them be in charge! By the way, ask if their intelligence station has a radio dispatcher. I looked at it earlier, and the city guard has a little devil's radio station, which can just be used for us to communicate with the military commander. ”
"Yes, then I see! I'll go now! ”
"Remember! You can go there alone, and you must not alarm too many people. The military commanders arranged the intelligence stations in these county towns, each of which is very important. We can't expose their intelligence stations because of us. ”
Originally, Hu Biao planned to personally contact the person in charge of the intelligence station of the military command, but now he must also keep an eye on the city guard. Those prisoners of war who won the battle did not dare to disobey Hu Biao's orders.
Perhaps these prisoners of war also knew that they were able to get out of prison alive thanks to Hu Biao's rescue. Even if these prisoners of war were a little disobedient, they didn't dare to mess around in front of Hu Biao, a life-saving benefactor.
The ungrateful are spurned. These prisoners of war may not have a high level of education, but in some things, they are very righteous. In the face of the order of the savior, they must not completely ignore it!
Looking at the materials that were collected one after another, Hu Biao said with a little doubt: "Is this just the property?" ”
"Yes, sir! We've searched every room, not even the corpse of the little devil, and we've found all these useful things and money. Brothers don't have any private hiding, I don't believe you can rummage through our pockets. ”
"Don't worry! I didn't say I didn't believe you, I just thought that the little devil had been stationed in the county for a while, so he shouldn't be the only one who had this money. Found the room where the little devil commander rested? ”
"Found it! There was also a girl in that room who had been killed in the previous battle. It seems that it should be the concubine of the little devil! ”
"Take me there!"
Just when Hu Biao personally went to the little devil commander's room to search for money that might be hidden. Tian Sili and the others, who were ordered to rush, were also quickly led to the little devil commander's room and saw Hu Biao who was observing inside.
"Captain Hu, is there a problem with this room?"
He had already heard what the soldiers said, Hu Biao didn't seem to believe it, and Tian Sili, who had only found such a small amount of money in the city guard, asked curiously. In fact, Tian Sili and others also felt that it was strange, it was impossible for the little devil to be so poor.
Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver! Many people have heard this!
Since the little devil took over the county, the little devil has also collected a lot of taxes, and some people have sent filial piety to the little devil. It stands to reason that the little devil commander did not have the money that the soldiers had found from the treasury before.
Tens of thousands of oceans and a few hundred taels of silver seem to be a lot of money. Compared with the wealth of a county, it is naturally nothing. This amount of money, just copy the home of a rich gentleman, and you won't even think of it.
Looking at Tian Sili and the others who entered the door, Hu Biao said with a smile: "You guys are here, let's see together, where the little devil may hide the money." Do you believe that there are cats that don't eat fish? ”
"It's quirky indeed! However, the drawers in this room are all turned over, and it seems that there is no place to hide money, right? ”
"Really? Ever heard of darkness under the lights? Come on, tear this bed down for me! ”
I always felt that this room didn't seem to be any different, and I didn't see any dark room, Hu Biao was really curious about where the big money would be hidden. When he saw the overturned bed, Hu Biao felt strange.
With Hu Biao's order, several soldiers who accompanied him quickly violently demolished the antique bed. When the foot of the bed was knocked off, a hole was made in one side of the board, and soon something rolled out of it.
Listening to the sound of 'clanging' and looking at the ocean rolling to the ground, the officers standing in the room said with a happy face: "Wow! This little devil commander is very cunning! I hid the money in the bed, and I really couldn't find it if I didn't dismantle the bed! ”
"Take it all apart! I also want to see how much private money that old devil has hidden! ”
The money stored in the warehouse should be public funds and need to be handed over. The money hidden in the bed is supposed to be the private money of the little devil commander. In order to avoid being discovered, they will hide in such a secret place so carefully.
Fortunately, Hu Biao kept an eye on it and came to take a look in person. Otherwise, after they leave, someone might discover the secret of this big bed. This ill-gotten gain may be missed by Hu Biao and others.
When all the money hidden in the bed was taken out, looking at dozens of gold bars and silver and several large boxes of oceans, Hu Biao couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that the little devil's means of making money are no worse than our county master!" ”
In these years, in the eyes of many flat-headed people, there is no difference between the county lord and Zhou Papi. Hearing what Hu Biao said, Tian Sili and others, who happened to come over, also felt very happy. But what should be done with this money next?
