Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Ransom (II)

Huang Jiahu carried ten catties of silver on everyone's back, walked five or six miles of ice before landing from the east coast of Yunguan Island. The woods on the eastern side of Unguam are not hard to find, and you can see them when you go ashore, and the woods are less than a mile from the coast. According to Huang Yongtao's explanation, these guards carried the silver to the edge of the woods, and saw that a big pit had been dug by the edge of the woods. This deserted island is uninhabited, and this big pit is obviously a new pit that has just been dug not long ago, and as for who dug it, I can guess that it was dug by the gang of "Japanese robbers" who hijacked the prince.

One of the leading men ordered the silver to be thrown into the pit. At the moment when the silver was lost, the two Hu Cong quickly burrowed into the woods, and the leading Hu Cong retreated from the island with the rest of the people.

"Two people less." Zhang Yuyang counted the number of them when Huang Jiahu landed on the shore, and after these Hu retreated from the island, Zhang Yuyang counted their heads again and found that there were two people missing.

"This Huang Yongtao, it's really dishonest if he doesn't knock and beat." He Tengxiao looked at Huang Jiahu who was on the island and smiled.

Huang Yongtao soon received a reply from the Japanese Kou, which was found along with the heads of two people who were hanging on the east gate of Jinzhou City. These two heads are the spies sent by Huang Yongtao to Guam. The sudden appearance of two heads at the east gate quickly spread in Jinzhou City and became a topic of conversation among the people in the market after dinner.

He Tengxiao's reply this time was very unkind, not only was the envelope stained with blood, but even the reply was written in blood. Huang Yongtao guessed that this was probably a reply written by his beloved son Huang Jinjiang. My heart trembled when I saw the blood-red handwriting.

This group of pirates is not ordinary, Huang Yongtao did not expect that these pirates would dare to hang their heads on the gate of Jinzhou City. It is no wonder that after a generation of famous generals Shang Chuanren unloaded his armor and returned to the field, the Japanese who had died down in the southeast sea were making waves in the southeast sea a few years later, Huang Yongtao sighed.

Regarding Huang Yongtao's doubts about how to return Huang Jinjiang, the "Japanese Kou" did not give a clear answer in the letter, but only replied to Huang Yongtao with the words "thieves also have a way."

Huang Yongtao was secretly glad that ruthless characters like these "would-be robbers" did not become enemies of the Huang family, how should he deal with such an enemy?

"We went to the island after we circled around Guam, and there were no boats around Guam, so the Japanese stayed on the island." Hu Cong, who led the way to Yunguam Island, said.

Chu Qinghong didn't dare to continue to give Huang Yongtao advice, the Japanese invaders survived by the sea, and there were no boats around Yunguan Island, which showed that the Japanese had been staying on the island. What a bold thing these are to be a wolf! You must know that more than ten miles east of Yunguan Island is Gaizhou, and the number of people stationed in Gaizhou City is as many as tens of thousands. Or did the Japanese expect that the Gaizhou town army would not set foot on this long-abandoned desert island, so they boldly stayed on the isolated island? As an important staff member of the Huang family, Chu Qinghong is resourceful, but he can't figure out these joints for a while.

Huang Yongtao glanced at Chu Qinghong, obviously dissatisfied with Chu Qinghong's suggestion the day before yesterday. Huang Yongtao now doesn't dare to joke with Huang Jinjiang's life even if he is stingy with money. The first failed spy had already angered the "Japanese Invaders", and if they provoked these outlaws again, it would be difficult to guarantee that these "Japanese Invaders" would do something out of the ordinary.

"Have you ever seen such a Japanese when you were fighting in Zhejiang?" Huang Yongtao turned his face sideways and asked Yan Pudao.

"This gang is very evil." Yan Pu shook his head, "When my subordinates were suppressing the Japanese in Zhejiang, they saw that every time they moved, there were ships to pick them up, and the most troublesome thing for my subordinates was to chase them to the beach, and the ships that responded to them took them away. Yan Pu recalled the scene of suppressing the Japanese in Zhejiang when he was young, and the important reason why the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in Dazhao could not be controlled was that the Japanese ships were fast, could drive smoothly in the coastal areas, and came and went like the wind. And the sailors of the Great Zhao Empire are weak, and they can't even calm down the water in the inland rivers and lakes, so how dare they go to sea to pursue the Japanese invaders? This situation only changed after Shang Chuanren rectified the Jinling Water Division.

Yan Pu couldn't figure out that this group of "would-be robbers" would give up the sea ship to respond, so he stayed on the island and waited for them. This group of "Japanese pirates" is actually a little evil and does not look like a Japanese pirates.

The people in the hall were silent, Yan Pu was the one who knew the most about the Japanese Kou, Yan Pu said so, and the others didn't know what to say. The Huang family did not deal with the Japanese Kou, but more with the Menggu tribes in the north and Manliao. Who would have thought that the would-be would-be would-be harassed by the Great Zhao Neihai and so coincidentally kidnap the prince of the Huang family?

Seeing that the people in the hall were silent, Huang Yongtao sighed lightly. At present, it is better to gather the remaining 90,000 taels of silver as soon as possible to send it to the widows, and the head of Huang Yongtao's henchman is hanging at the east gate of Jinzhou City, and this matter has been in a uproar in Jinzhou City. The prince Huang Jinjiang has not appeared in Jinzhou City for many days, and many rumors have begun to circulate outside.

Late the next night, the fleet of the Huang Jiashui camp set sail again for Yunguam under the cover of twilight. Three seagoing ships were responsible for transporting silver and five seas were responsible for escorting, and they sailed mightily to Yunguam Island.

"There are eight ships, and there are five sea boats, and the Huang family has invested a lot of silver in the water camp." Xiao Yuze ran back to Yunguam after observing the number of boats in the Huangjiashui camp to report to He Tengxiao and Zhang Yuyang, who sighed after hearing this. Zhang Yuyang had heard that the Huang family had reused the officers and soldiers of Zhejiang's eastern border towns to form a water battalion, but he had never had the opportunity to see the Huang family's water camp, and he did not expect to see the Huang family's water camp in this situation today.

"Aren't you afraid that these people will go to the island and wipe out us on this deserted island? There are only a dozen of us, and it will not be difficult for these water battalions to wipe us out on Yunguam Island. ”

The sailors of the Huang family's water camp who rejected Xiao Yuze's report were familiar with the water camp, no one was seasick, and the boat was in an orderly manner. If these sailors want to encircle and suppress them, He Tengxiao really has no way.

"The Huang family's water camp landed on the island at night shows that they still have some concerns, more than ten miles away is Gaizhou, and the Huang family has not yet been arrogant enough to make a big move on the He family's territory." He Tengxiao said that although the Huang family and the He family are not in agreement, at least on the surface, they still maintain harmony, and if the Huang family dares to use water camps to attack the island in Yunguam Island, no matter what the reason, they will be attacked by his political enemies. The delicate balance of the four major families in Liaodong was broken, and only the He family was left who could have the strength to compete with the Huang family.

The center also doesn't want to see the Huang family dominate in Liaodong. will try his best to suppress the He family and maintain the balance of the power of the local family in Liaodong. This is evident from the reissue of the imperial court to Liaodong during the Spring Festival, with 80,000 soldiers in the registers of towns in Jinzhou and other places, and 70,000 soldiers in the registers of Fuzhou and other places, while the military salaries reissued by the imperial court to Jinzhou were 250,000 taels of silver, while those in Fuzhou and other places were 300,000 taels of silver. Obviously, the center intends to suppress the Huang family, whose strength has not been weakened in any way in the Liaodong war.
