Chapter 169: The Destination Has Arrived
At the beginning of the city of Jinzhou, some of the officers and soldiers of the Guanning Army were killed in battle, some retreated to the Shanhaiguan area, and of course, some of them surrendered to the Tartars without backbone and fear of death. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It just so happened that tonight's person in charge of guarding the east gate of Jinzhou City was a group of Guan Ning troops from before, and Gao Qiqian was able to get out of Jinzhou City by bribing off these gatekeepers.
After walking for several miles out of the city, Gao Qiqian breathed a sigh of relief and ordered to speed up, so the carriage sped along the avenue leading to the Jinzhou wharf, and the speed was very fast.
Riding in the carriage, seeing that Jinzhou City has completely gone, and soon to reach the wharf, you can board the big ship that has been prepared there for a long time, and you will be happy and relaxed in your heart.
"Hmph, Tartar must have thought that Lao Tzu would present all his family resources, so Lao Tzu is not so stupid." Gao Qi thought to himself.
As the supervisor of the Guanning Army, and Gao Qiqian is afraid of death and greedy for money, over the years, Gao Qiqian has embezzled a lot of food and salary of the Guanning Army, and others don't know about this embezzled wealth, but Gao Qiqian himself knows it clearly, this is a huge amount of wealth.
The Ming Dynasty allocated a large amount of food and salary to the Guanning Army every year, otherwise, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty would not be so empty, even to the point of being so stretched, and some of these food and salary went into the pockets of high-level private individuals.
The gold, silver, and treasures that had been given to the Tartars by surrender before were only a drop in the bucket of the huge private wealth of Gao Qiqian, and only a small part of it.
With so much money in hand, Tartar didn't pay attention to Gao Qiqian, and he didn't get the high position he expected from Tartar.
If it is an ordinary person, it is almost impossible to run out of Jinzhou City, prepare a boat, and carry his huge wealth onto a big ship.
However, Gao Qiqian used to be the supervisor of the Guanning Army, and he was deeply rooted in the Jinzhou area, and there were some of Gao Qiqian's former henchmen among the surrendered Guanning Army, so it was much more convenient to act.
"Father-in-law, the dock has arrived, you get off."
Gao Qiqian's henchman eunuch "Xiao Wuzi" respectfully and flatteringly opened the door curtain of the carriage, asked Gao Qiqian to get out of the car, Gao Qiqian came back from his thoughts, and at this moment, Gao Qiqian found that the dock had arrived.
After getting out of the carriage, he saw the galleon docked next to the pier, and he was happy for a while, "Let's go, let's get on the boat, you are all my henchmen, after leaving here and reaching the destination, I will not treat you badly." ”
The few little eunuchs next to him suddenly smiled, and with a burst of joy in their hearts, they dived onto the galleon with Gao Qi.
Taking advantage of the night, the galleon raised its sails, began to leave the dock, and gradually went away, standing on the galleon, looking at the Jinzhou wharf has been far away, and even has been invisible, Gao Qiqian is completely relieved, thinking of his huge wealth, Gao Qiqian can't wait to enter the sailboat.
What Gao Qiqian didn't know was that not long after his galleon left, a fishing boat quietly followed, far behind, because of the night, Gao Qiqian did not find the fishing boat behind his sailboat.
Gao Qidian didn't pay attention to it, the sailors of the galleon had changed, and all the sailors on the galleon had already been knocked unconscious and placed in the bilge of the galleon, and now, all the sailors on the galleon were all members of the Snow Leopard team.
Of course, Gao Qiqian didn't know the sailors on this galleon, Gao Qiqian felt that he was high, so there was no need to know the lowest level of suffering of sailors.
The galleon swelled its sails and sailed into the distance, and the direction of sailing was actually the direction where the "Shanghai" was located.
Gao Qiqian didn't know anything about all this, Gao Qiqian saw that he was far away from Jinzhou Wharf, his heart was relaxed and happy, and he was ready to escape from Jinzhou and go overseas to find a place and live his own rich life.
Formerly a eunuch beside Chongzhen, Gao Qiqian knew the envoy of an overseas country and had dealings with the other party, Gao Qiqian was ready to go there, carry a huge amount of wealth, and live the rest of his life.
Gao Qiqian thought so beautifully in his heart, and then entered the cabin, walked into a certain cabin, there were big boxes one by one in the cabin, and when he saw these familiar big boxes, Gao Qiqian was even more happy, walked forward quickly, and opened one of the boxes.
Inside the chest, there are boxes full of jewels. Then I opened another large box, and the inside of the box was shining with gold, and it was actually neatly placed, full of gold ingots.
The henchman eunuch Xiao Wuzi said as if flattering: "Father-in-law, we have so much gold and silver, and after we get there, we will definitely be able to call the wind and rain, eat fragrant and drink spicy food." ”
Gao Qiqian said: "After we get there, we can enjoy it, and we don't have to worry about it for the rest of our lives, hmph, Tartar can't stay here, I have more places to go." ”
Happy in his heart, Gao Qiqian went to other cabins again, and looked at his wealth, these gold, silver and jewelry were a lot of them, and there were several large cabins, which also showed the extent to which Gao Qiqian was greedy for money.
"Why, the ship seems to be stopped?"
After looking at the gold and silver jewelry in his cabins, Gao Qiqian was about to go to the deck to take a breath, and suddenly found that the ship seemed to have stopped, so Gao Qiqian asked such a question.
Xiao Wuzi, the little eunuch next to him, also felt strange, because the ship seemed to have really stopped, and was about to go out to take a look, when he saw a person who looked like a sailor coming.
The sailor said, "Father-in-law, the destination has arrived." ”
"Is that it? ! Gao Qiqian was a little angry, and the little eunuch Xiao Wuzi next to him was also about to reprimand, only to see Gao Qiqian's other personal little eunuch Wugui and several sailors also came over.
The little eunuch Wugui said: "Father-in-law, we have really arrived, you and we will go out to the deck to have a look." ”
Gao Qiqian suddenly had a bad premonition, his face changed, and he glanced at Wugui several times in succession, making sure that Wugui was still that Wugui, and it was not someone else pretending, Gao Qiqian said in a deep voice: "Let's go, let's go to the deck to see what the hell is going on." ”
After saying that, a large group of people went up to the deck of the galleon, which had undoubtedly stopped, and even the sails had been lowered, and was parked on the sea, surrounded by the vast sea, and in the night, the galleon seemed lonely.
No, it's not alone, there is a behemoth not far away, although the light is dark, but it is definitely not an island, but a big ship, and there are lights on the big ship.
"What's going on?"
Gao Qiqian asked sharply, of course, no one next to him would answer what was going on, the little eunuchs next to Gao Qiqian, including the henchman eunuch Xiao Wuzi, were all confused, and everyone said in their hearts, what is going on?
The little eunuch Wugui walked over, walked to Gao Qiqian's side, pointed to the "Shanghai" ironclad ship not far away, and said, "Father-in-law, the owner of that ship wants to invite you over." ”
Gao Qiqian was about to say that Lao Tzu would not go, but the sharp eyes of the sailors around him looked over one after another, and Gao Qiqian was inexplicably afraid, and shrunk his neck, knowing that he was completely under the control of the other party, and he couldn't go if he didn't go.
So, Gao Qiqian and his party, under the control of several members of the Snow Leopard team, got on the "Shanghai" ironclad ship.
Seeing this ironclad ship, Gao Qiqian seemed to have guessed something, his face darkened, and he waited on the deck of the "Shanghai", and when he saw Zhang Feng standing on the deck, Gao Qiqian's face turned pale, knowing that he was finished.
"The surname is Zhang, it's you!"
Seeing Zhang Feng, Gao Qiqian shouted loudly, but soon there was a "snap" sound, and Gao Qiqian's face was hot with a pain, and Dong Wuping next to him unceremoniously gave Gao Qiqian a mouthful.
Dong Wuping said: "This is our Chief Zhang Bing, keep your mouth clean and your attitude respectful, otherwise, Lao Tzu will whip you again." ”
was slapped in the mouth, was slapped hard, and was so angry that he was so angry that he used to be high, where was there such treatment, and he was slapped in the mouth as soon as he came.
Angry, Gao Qiqian knew that he had fallen into Zhang Feng's hands, and he couldn't do it if he didn't bow his head, otherwise, he didn't know what means he was waiting to "enjoy", so Gao Qiqian's attitude was much better.
"Mr. Zhang, I don't accept it, how could I fall into your hands, I am obviously safe and everything, everything is going very smoothly, I don't understand."
Zhang Feng sneered, "I don't understand, okay, I'll make it clear to you today, Captain Dong, tell Gao Qiqian how you did it." ”
Dong Wuping said the matter briefly, and the little eunuch Wugui next to him didn't wait for Dong Wuping to finish speaking, knelt on the deck with a "plop" and cried mournfully: "Father-in-law, you can't blame me, I... I'm just trying to save my life, he... They are the devil, I can't hold on, I can't stand their methods! ”
"It's you!" Gao Qiqian's eyes breathed fire, and he looked at his former henchman fiercely, eager to kill the eunuch Wugui with his gaze.
Zhang Feng waved his hand and said: "Take him down, wait until you reach Tianjin Port, let him go, and let him fend for himself." ”
Zhang Feng did what he said, promised to let the eunuch Wugui live, and said in front of everyone that he would release him when he arrived at Tianjin Port.
The eunuch Wugui hurriedly kowtowed and said gratefully: "Mr. Zhang, thank you, thank you so much." ”
After speaking, Wugui went down. In the process of arresting Gao Qiqian this time, the eunuch Wugui can be regarded as a "great hero", without the cooperation of the eunuch Wugui, this operation would definitely not be so easy.
Let's start from the beginning.
Dong Wuping took more than a dozen members of the team to go ashore in a hidden place near Jinzhou Wharf on a fishing boat, and then headed towards Jinzhou City, preparing to enter the city to capture Gao Qiqian.
Everyone's luck is good, before entering the city, we met the eunuch Wugui who was doing things for Gao Qiqian, who was arranging a galleon and preparing to enter the city to inform Gao Qiqian.
Dong Wuping caught the eunuch Wugui, and used a little means, but Wugui, who couldn't stand the punishment methods, poured beans into a bamboo tube and told the matter again.
