Chapter 23 Ye Niangzi
"The inspection is really a good means! Good means! ”
"I saw that Qu Zhenhai's face turned white."
"What is his background, others don't know, don't I know as a nephew! We're not afraid of him, real gold and silver are real."
"Rejoice! Inspector, you're so happy with this knife! ”
"This knife is worth five hundred taels of silver! Real money! ”
As soon as he returned to his barracks, the brothers of the dragon lance whistle did not stop praising them, and those who did not go heard that Liu Chang was going to get five hundred taels of silver for a knife, and they also joined the discussion with great interest.
Although theoretically, they have a closer relationship with Qu Zhenhan, but in terms of small group interests, they have formed a unity with Liu Chang, and they have no scruples to talk about some of Qu Zhenhan's past, and even the fact that he was beaten by his wife for drinking and mistaking things has been revealed.
As for Liu Chang, the image in their hearts was suddenly tall: "Check, your knife is so happy, it's really happy!" ”
"It's not just that knife, check that you have the means to reach the sky, how can those demons play with you!"
"Check, I'm convinced, Huo Qiu has no other skills, but his vision is really good, from today on, you will be our eldest brother."
Liu Chang smiled and ordered: "Go to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow!" When the time comes, you go over and help Sun Huzi take care of things. ”
He was afraid that his subordinates would not know his true intentions, so he added: "It's the death squad!" ”
Qu Zhenhan didn't dare to let people go, then Liu Chang could only rob people, Yun Tianzong, the salt owl, was a clever person, and immediately understood: "Don't worry, we will go over early tomorrow morning, even if we grab it, we must grab this bit of strength!" ”
"Don't hurt the harmony, and make money with harmony! Rest early! There will be no emergency gatherings tonight. ”
As soon as he gave the order, the seventy or eighty people dispersed, but Huo Qiu, the twenty or thirty people, had just arrived today, and Qu Jie, as the master, had to arrange food and lodging for them, and in addition, he had to arrange the sentries on duty tonight.
Although he is not a strategic talent, he has the courage to do these trivial affairs, and he can't make any mistakes.
Liu Chang's room is on the second floor, a simple single bedroom, except for a high bed, a set of chest of drawers, and a business table, but there are no furnishings.
As soon as Liu Chang entered the door, he closed the door, put the candle on the official table, and sighed faintly.
I'm getting farther and farther away from the world of electric lights, telephones and television, and the light of the candles is a little too dim, and I'm really not used to it!
The next moment, he bent down, feeling nauseous in his heart, wanting to vomit something, but he couldn't vomit anything.
Those bloody scenes tonight appeared in front of Liu Chang's eyes like a nightmare!
His nausea grew heavier and heavier, and he grabbed the desk with both hands, almost falling to the ground without being able to support it.
But he persevered, and the candlelight became warm.
Liu Chang raised his head, and he saw himself in the mirror, that self, which had made Liu Chang a little unrecognizable.
The original suit has been stained with blood, it seems that tomorrow I will have to find someone to make a new outfit, the young man in the mirror is extraordinarily handsome, his face is like a crown of jade, but there is a hint of murderous intent.
I am really getting more and more adapted to this world, this era of natural selection, the law of the jungle, this era of tears is better than bloodshed, this world that can't tolerate warmth and weakness.
He took out the notebook in his bag and hugged it tightly, there was a kind of boot **, but he knew how much power was precious in it, so he just hugged the notebook tightly.
Only in this way can it be proved that he once belonged to that era.
It was the best of times, and it was the worst of times.
……
December 23, 4th year of Xianfeng.
Wenzhou City in this era, in fact, is also Yongjia County, is the most prosperous city in southwest Zhejiang, business travel is endless, crowds of people are surging, people are called "Little Hangzhou",
Near the end of the year, the market is a boom, often not waiting for the sun to rise, the shopkeeper has urged the guys to stand the last few posts of the year, and the dividends at the end of the year are definitely a lot.
And the early risers were busy with their business, even if it was a little foggy this morning.
There are people in Yueqing across the river who rebel, but this matter has nothing to do with them as ordinary people, Lord Qing Lianqing has already transferred soldiers to guard the city tightly, and even thousands of catties of cannons have been set up on Cuiwei Mountain, and Miaoguo Temple is also stationed in Minyong, which can definitely be guarded.
But when the roar of tearing the eardrums passed, the whole market was in chaos, and the farmers in the countryside ran out of the city with picks, and the shopkeeper reprimanded the men for closing the shop too slowly, and some land scoundrels also took advantage of this time to steal chickens and dogs, causing the market to be even more chaotic.
It was not the sound of firecrackers, but the sound of real cannons, and some sharp-eyed people even saw the sight of cannonballs falling on the city wall in an arc, and turned their heads and ears in horror.
There was another shrill whistling, and another cannonball tore through the air and smashed down the river, and the green battalion soldiers guarding the city had already left their defenses behind and ran wildly, shouting everywhere: "The Red Kou is coming, the Red Kou is coming!" ”
The entire Wenzhou city has become chaotic, some people hope that such a cannon sound is just an accident, but the cannon sound is a roar every few minutes, many old people are saying: "The last time our Wenzhou City had a fire, it was still a matter of Kangxi's conquest of Geng Jingzhong!" ”
"Yes, that time Wen was killed by Kangxi Ye for thousands of miles!"
"Mo Hu said, Mo Hu said, how benevolent and virtuous Lord Kangxi is, how can the soldiers of the Celestial Empire kill people indiscriminately, it is all killed by Geng Rebellion!"
"At that time, Geng Jingzhong sent Zeng Xing soldiers out of Zhejiang, and the whole town of Wenzhou was in chaos, but Kangxi was angry, so he washed the two mansions in Wenzhou!"
"But I heard that Zeng Yang is not a good person, he killed the soldiers, and many of our Wenzhou Mansion were wiped out by him."
The sound of artillery became more and more frequent, and the whole city was full of panic, and more and more green battalion soldiers retreated, and finally there were cries everywhere.
On the river, however, four Chinese-style sailing boats with full sails were retreating downstream through the mist, and from time to time they fired a shot at the city of Wenzhou.
A woman in a strong suit was hanging on the top of the mast, holding a telescope from the West and carefully looking at everything on the shore: "Put a few more cannons, and we will go to Kunling to lock up the river!" ”
A pirate leader in his early fifties muttered dissatisfiedly, "Ye Niangzi, why do you have to work so hard for those farmers!" Although they promised us a reward of 5,000 taels, as long as we fired a shot at Wenzhou City, we would have a reward! You ordered dozens of cannons to be fired in one go, and who are we looking for this extra amount of gunpowder shells! ”
"Uncle Hai!" Ye Niangzi had already glided along the sail rope to the deck very neatly: "Brothers, full sail, let's go to Lingkun!" ”
This ringleader is called Ge Haiyin, the uncle of Ge Mengjin's own family, but although he is related to Ge Mengjin, he can't catch any power in the Yue boat, seeing Ye Niangzi sliding onto the deck, he said dissatisfiedly: "Ye Niangzi, so much gunpowder and lead, where can we go for reimbursement, Qu Zhenhai just wants us to set off a cannon, why should we try to be happy for a while, and miss a big thing!" Bombarding the county town, this is a major event of killing officials and rebelling! ”
At first glance, Ye Niangzi was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old fisherwoman, a standard black beauty, but in Ge Haiyin's eyes, this nephew and daughter-in-law was definitely not a good wife and mother, although her skin was delicate, she was a black pearl, her body was too tall, her face was delicate and delicate, but her body was too thin, and she didn't know why her flesh had grown to the two lumps on her chest, but she was a big-footed woman.
The buttocks are still cocked, but the waist is too slender, and the legs are too long, at a glance, I know that it is not easy to give birth, Ge Mengjin doesn't know how much silver has been spent on her in the past two years, but she didn't even hear the sound of a doll, just relying on a few words at night** to monopolize the grace of Ge Wuye.
The bigger disadvantage is that Ye Niangzi's eyes are too sharp, she is too good at settling accounts, and she manages money too hard, since Ge Mengjin accepted her to get started, Ge Haiyin has a lot less extra money, and Ye Niangzi is very good at taking power, not only grasping the entire fleet in the palm of her own hand, but also arranging a good position for her family, so Ge Haiyin sighed heavily: "This is a big disaster of killing officials and rebelling!" This time, we are going to recruit the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian and the governor of Liangguang. ”
Ye Niangzi was dressed in a red suit, acting neatly, he inserted a short sword on his left hand, and hung a flintlock pistol on his right hand, ready to fight at any time, and his speech was also very hot: "When did we not do the scourge of killing officials and rebelling!" Uncle Hai, the fifth master is not at home, I can be the fifth master for half of the family, I have the final say in this matter! ”
You can not only be half of the family, but you are obviously the fifth master of the whole family, Ge Haiyin asked very unconvinced: "What about the extra gunpowder, lead, and cannonballs?" ”
Ye Niangzi first pointed to a cousin of her mother's family: "Don't worry, the artillery in Wenzhou City can't hit us anymore, let's go slowly!" ”
She turned back to Ge Haiyin and his party and shouted: "If you can lay down a piece of your own territory, what are these gunpowder leads!" ”
