Chapter 421: Exploding the Dragon Vein
The night battle did not bring the slightest trouble to Wei Chunhua's subordinates, the first batch of soldiers used flying claws to move into the village and easily opened the gate of the village, the others followed quietly, did not use firearms, only relying on daggers and other cold weapons to slaughter the old and weak Rakshasas who stayed in the village, and by dawn, except for a dozen or so Rakshasas who were left to be questioned, everyone else was sent by Wei Chunhua's men to meet their God.
"Brother Jiu, come and see, there are still a lot of good things here!" In the house of the highest official in the village, Luo Bing disdained those gold, silver, jewelry, ginseng furs and other things, but cherished a map with great importance, pointed to the route on it and said to Wei Chunhua, "This marks the route of these Rakshasas from the extreme west to here, which is of great use to us!" It's also convenient for us to fight in the future! ”
"Hehe, even if I want to fight in the future, I'm afraid I won't do it from this side!" , Wei Chunhua said with a smile, he has been in the northwest for many years, and his understanding of the situation in the west is deeper than Luo Bing, "It is most convenient to cut off the eastward path of the Rakshasa people from the northwest." ”
"Even if it can't be used for war, it's good to use it to guide us to reclaim the surrounding land from here! It's always useful! Luo Bing carefully put away all kinds of documents and files, "Did you ask anything from whose mouths?" ”
"They only heard that there were Manchu officials who came here to worship a few decades ago, and they have gradually disappeared over the years, but the specific location is not far from here!" , Wei Chunhua said lightly.
Needless to say, Luo Bing also knows the fate of those people, the supply is inconvenient in the cold here, is it a waste of food to keep them?" If you're tired from fighting today, take a day off and go back tomorrow! ”
When they woke up on the second day, they followed the direction of the Rakshasas and came to the vicinity of a small hill a few miles outside the village. Luo Bing climbed high and looked, and eight mounds could be vaguely seen around the hill to form a dragon-shaped arch guarding the hill. It is already clear in my heart that this is where the dragon vein of the Manchu Qing Dynasty lies.
"Look around and see what you find?" , Luo Bing issued an order with his hands behind his back, and the soldiers immediately scattered in all directions. Wielding a sapper shovel in his hand, he probes around.
"Report, a stone tablet has been found!" After a while, someone dug up something, Luo Bing hurriedly went over, only to see that the stone tablet was engraved with some Manchu characters, since he served as the chief officer of the intelligence department, Luo Bing also put some effort into the Manchu text, and soon recognized that what was written on it was the Manchu people praying for God's blessing and the like, judging from the inscription, it was probably set up shortly after Dolgon's army entered the customs. This is about the same as they knew before.
Since it is a small hill guarded by eight dragon veins, then the treasure is probably in the location of the hill, right? Luo Bing made a judgment using the experience of tomb robbing that he had learned from Fuqing, and immediately began to dig the hill with these hundreds of people.
This is the land of the extreme north, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, the land is as hard as a stone, and a shovel can only chisel out a white mark on the ground. set on a mound and lit a fire for several hours; After the fire was extinguished, the work was re-excavated, and the progress of the work was much faster.
I dug for three days in a row. Finally, a stone slab was dug under the mound, a hole was dug into the stone slab, and a small amount of gunpowder was placed to blast it, revealing a cave hidden by the stone slab.
Everyone did not rush in, and continued to expand the scope of the cave, and waited until the filthy air inside was dispersed before the torches were drilled into the cave, only to see that huge iron boxes were piled up inside. Luo Bing secretly calculated, I am afraid that there are more treasures of King Chuang than he dug up near Yubi Villa.
When I chiseled open the first box, I saw that it was full of gold ingots of different sizes and colors, probably because of the cold and impermeable wind, and a few traces of blood could be seen on the top few gold ingots.
"Hey. This is all snatched from us Han people! Luo Bing sighed, I don't know how much innocent Han blood has been stained in this mountain of treasures.
"Count how many boxes there are! Affix the seal and register it! Wei Chunhua ordered excitedly, this time he can be regarded as a great achievement, right? When I go back, will the rank of this major general be promoted? Zhang Jin and Jiang Sigen had already been promoted to lieutenant generals because of their exploits in Dongshanzhou, which made him particularly envious.
The soldiers immediately took out the seals that had been prepared and pasted up the boxes one by one, and then transported the boxes outside, and it took a long time to carry out the savings of these Manchu Tartars who had been robbing for many years.
"Fourth sister-in-law, these things have been moved, let's go?" , Wei Chunhua can't wait to go back and report the good news.
"Wait! How much more gunpowder did you bring this time? Luo Bing pointed to the eight dragon veins and said, "Blow up all of them!" ”
"It's good! Although we didn't bring much, there were still some in the Rakshasa people's stockade! Anyway, I can't transport it back, so I'll just use it here! Wei Chunhua immediately sent someone back to the village to open the arsenal of the Rakshasa people, transport the gunpowder out and bury it in the eight dragon veins.
The soldiers who were proficient in blasting in the army marked the location of the fire powder on each dragon vein, and the sappers began to dig, and after an hour, hundreds of catties of gunpowder were placed on each of the eight dragon veins, and these blasting points were connected by fuses.
"Fourth sister-in-law, either let me have some, right?" , Wei Chunhua rubbed his hands and asked a little embarrassed.
"Who will rob you like that!" , Luo Bing smiled and stepped aside, and led the soldiers to hide behind a hill in the distance.
Wei Chunhua licked his lips, and after silently praying to his lover who was killed by the Tartar dog official, he pressed the torch to the fuse fiercely, and then turned around and ran.
I saw that the fuse was burning forward with a slight sound, emitting black smoke, and when it reached the top of the hill, it was divided into eight strands and crawled towards eight dragon veins.
"It's here, it's coming soon!" , Wei Chunhua stared at the fuse tightly, and said to himself in the air, the fuse finally burned to the end, only to hear a loud bang, and the dragon vein in the north flew into the sky first.
Then due east, then west, northwest and finally due south, eight dragon veins were blown up in chaos under the power of gunpowder.
"Haha, I'll see how long those tartars can last!" , Wei Chunhua said with a laugh, and everyone cheered, as if they saw the scene of the end of the Tartars coming in their eyes. (To be continued......)
