In order to sabotage the Qing court's purchase of grain from the south, Gao Yihuan made two preparations, one was to let Ma Hongshan compete with the Jin merchants and interfere with the Jin merchants' purchase of grain, and the other was to notify his good brother Liu Heizi and let him rob the grain ships of the Jin merchants to the north.

When Ma Hongshan was frying grain in Huguang, Liu Heizi also received a letter from Gao Yihuan.

For this kind of thing, Liu Heizi naturally had nothing to say, and even if he ordered 2,000 people, he quietly crossed the Yellow River and entered the boundary of Caozhou Mansion in Shandong.

Shandong was now at the junction of the Ming, Shun, and Qing forces, with the Qing army occupying most of Shandong, while the Ming army controlled only a few counties in Yizhou, Yanzhou, and Jining Prefecture.

At this time, there were not many Qing troops in Shandong, like Caozhou was looted by the Qing army once before, and most of the people fled, basically in a state of desertion and ownerlessness.

Liu Heizi and Gao Yihuan came to Caozhou once, and Liu Heizi was more familiar with the terrain in this area, so he chose Juye County, which was hidden in Caozhou, and then sent scouts to Nanwang Lake and Kaiheyi in Yanzhou to inquire about the news.

This time, the Qing army sent several Jin merchants to the south to buy grain, and almost every once in a while, grain ships would come over.

At noon that day, in the reeds near Nanwang Lake, several scouts sat in a small boat and ate.

This is Liu Heizi's scout, led by a team, and the task is very simple, that is, to monitor the canal to see if there are any grain ships coming.

In this era, the cost of land transportation by manpower was very huge, and the most labor-saving way for Jin merchants to transport grain to the north was to take the Grand Canal.

This reduces the difficulty of scouting and scouting, as long as you stay on the side of the canal, pay attention to the Grand Canal, wait for the grain ship to come, and then go back to report.

In the blue reeds, several scouts were eating dry food, they had been waiting here for three days, but they had not seen a ship coming.

At this time, when it was getting dark, the mosquitoes on the lake began to increase, buzzing all over the world, and anyone could eat a mouthful of mosquitoes with their mouths.

One of the scouts slapped himself in the face and complained, "Boss, when will we be back!" I'm almost sucked dry. ”

The scout team was waving his hand and fanning the swarm of mosquitoes, and he didn't have a good air, "As long as you talk a lot, if you don't find the grain ship, none of us can go back!" ”

At this moment, a soldier sitting on the bow of the boat, who was munching on bread, suddenly stopped his movements and exclaimed in a low voice, "Team Zheng, the ship is coming!" ”

Several people on the boat shook when they heard this, and they all looked in the direction of the canal, and the boat shook for a while, causing a circle of ripples.

Seeing this, the team glared at a few subordinates and shouted, "Be professional, don't move!" Then he turned his head to look into the distance, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen boats in the distance, slowly sailing along the canal to the north.

When the team saw it, their faces were suddenly overjoyed, and they looked excitedly at the fleet in the distance.

He looked at it for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Dog, you go back with Pengzi and Lao Zhou to report to the general, and I will continue to follow the fleet." ”

Several scouts nodded, "Team up, be careful." ”

When the men swung the boat to the shore, the three scouts moved their horses out of a wooded area, and then ran westward.

Since Liu Heizi arrived in Guide, he rarely took the initiative to come out to loot, and every time he followed Gao Yihuan to do some side business, it was basically enough for him to spend a long time.

He followed Gao Yihuan, he didn't open for a year, and he opened for a year, but since the last battle in Shouzhou, Gao Yihuan has no new moves, and his energy is entangled by the Tartars who go south, and he does his best to lose money.

Counting up, Gao Yihuan has been doing new business with him for more than a year, which makes Liu Heizi feel a little anxious, and he doesn't want to be at this moment, he suddenly received a secret letter from Gao Yihuan.

In the letter, Gao Yihuan introduced him to a business without capital, and he made a steady profit, but compared with before, this time he did it alone.

Every time he cooperated in the past, Gao Yihuan took the lion's lead, and he could only share a little, but this time he didn't need to share, and it was all his.

As soon as Liu Heizi was excited, he ordered 2,000 people and entered the Shandong boundary.

At this time, he had been waiting for many days, but there was still no movement, and Liu Heizi was a little unhappy in his heart.

He set out from Guide, and the dry food he brought was only enough to eat for half a month, and if he counted the time to go back and forth, he would not be able to stay in Shandong for a few days.

Gao Yihuan said that there would be a large number of grain ships going north along the canal, but it had been many days, could it be that his brother's intelligence was wrong.

At this moment, a personal guard came in and reported, "General Qiyu, a group of scouts has discovered the grain ship heading north. ”

", it's finally here!" Liu Heizi was overjoyed when he heard this, and stood up, "Haha~ The news of my brother Gao is still quite accurate, people in Ruzhou know about Shandong. What a goddamn thing. ”

"Someone brought in." Liu Heizi looked excited, this time it was time for Lao Tzu to make a fortune alone.

In a moment, a scout was brought up, knelt down on one knee and reported: "See the general!" ”

Liu Heizi asked people to pierce his armor while asking: "Ben will ask you, where is the grain ship you are sending to, and how many grain ships are there!" ”

"General Qiyu, there are fifteen grain boats, just arrived at Nanwang Lake, two days later, they should cross the Kaihe Station, and then enter the territory of Tai'an Mansion."

There is a Tartar garrison in Tai'an, and it is not easy to get grain ships into Tai'an.

Liu Heizi immediately drank the order, "Order the whole army to assemble!" ”

Two thousand men and horses packed up one after another, turned over and got on their horses, followed this Liu Heizi, and galloped to the northeast~~~

The Qing court sent a number of Jin merchants to the south to buy grain, and the fleet discovered by Liu Heizi was the Jin merchant Huang Yunfa.

About a year and a half ago, Fan Yongdou's son Fan Sanba, as well as the Qing general Liu Liangchen, were suddenly attacked on the way to the north to transport grain, the grain was robbed, Liu Liangchen was killed, and Fan Sanba was cut into a winter melon man, which was extremely miserable.

When Huang Yunfa walked this way, he was very nervous, afraid that he would also suffer such a misfortune.

Along the way, Huang Yunfa was cautious, and after crossing Nanwang Lake, he ordered the slender man to speed up and enter Tai'an Mansion as soon as possible.

At this time, the ship was heading north, arrived at the Kaihe Station, suddenly the water began to tremble, the east bank of the canal rose rolling yellow dust, the slender men who pulled the fiber stopped one after another, looked at the east bank in confusion, and it happened that at this time, the west bank was also rolling yellow dust, and a large force of cavalry roared towards the fleet.

Huang Yunfa on the boat saw this, and he was immediately frightened, he instinctively wanted to escape, but when he went to find that both sides of the strait were ambushes.

For a while, Huang Yunfa's face was pale, and his heart shook wildly, "No, there are only more than ten ships, why are there ambushes on both sides of the strait, and four or five thousand horsemen are coming at once!" ”

Liu Heizi led the men and horses to rush out, and suddenly saw an ambush of more than 2,000 people on the opposite bank, his face couldn't help but be stunned, and then he was instantly furious, where did the thief come from, he actually dared to rob Lao Tzu's business.

Liu Heizi rode to the shore on horseback, killed the stalker, and didn't care about the grain boats in the canal, raising the knife was an angry roar, "Turtle Sun, dare to rob your grandfather's business?" ”

The cavalry on the opposite side killed the shore, headed by a general, raised his gun and scolded, "Black guy, as soon as this boat comes out of Huai'an, Lao Tzu will be eyeing it, you know each other and hurry back to Henan, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you across the river and ask for your head!" ”

The people and horses on both sides were dressed as bandits, and for a while they fired cannons in the canal, scolding again and again, fighting for the ownership of the grain ships, and leaving the grain ships parked in the middle to hang aside.

Huang Dongzhu was stunned and heard the scolding on both sides, and he was shocked to tremble ~~~
