Chapter 339: Gunsmoke

"Tomorrow, Xiao Shunzi, you load all the five million silver coins from the Baoyuan Bureau into a truck and transport them all to the bank." Yang Reform was extremely irritable, put aside the troubles just now, and began to do his own thing.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Shunzi immediately agreed. The emperor has spared him, and that's a good thing.

"I calculated, five million, about more than 220,000 catties, probably have to load more than 100 cars, when transporting, remember to transport it at one time, when transporting it on the road, find someone, knock over a few silver convoys, knock out the silver coins inside, and spill them all over the ground, so that others can see......" Yang Gai said.

Xiao Shunzi and Li Ruolian looked at the emperor in surprise, why did they knock out the silver? The ancients said that wealth is not exposed, what does the emperor want?

"Your Majesty, this ......" Xiao Shunzi was confused.

"I want to ask why, hehe, I said, I want to do a good job of the reputation of the military ticket, but the people only recognize the silver, not the military ticket, I have no choice, I can only let everyone open their eyes, look at my family background, let everyone believe that if you take the military ticket, you can exchange it for a full amount of silver......" Yang Reform was forced to make a decision, play a "car accident", knock out the silver on the car, let everyone see their own family background, let everyone have confidence in their military tickets, moreover, this Shaanxi military operation, has been launched, wartime expenses, post-war rewards, pensions, etc., all have to raise silver, so Yang Reform began to raise silver in the face of the Shaanxi battlefield that was about to start.

"Ah" The two of them looked at the emperor dumbfounded, the emperor was too ...... It's out of the ordinary.

"Don't just worry about it, think about it, how to play this play of mine well, tomorrow, in addition to arranging people to crash into the convoy of silver coins, you also have to arrange the 'masses' to mix in the crowd, how many silver coins have been transported this time, what they are for, how many silver coins are in each car, all of them will be said intentionally or unintentionally, so that the people will know my family background, and let the people believe that my military ticket is guaranteed by silver, understand?" Yang Gengai said his plan.

"Ahh ...... the emperor asked them to do this kind of thing, it was really beyond their expectations, who taught the emperor this hand

"You two, do you understand?" Yang Reform now has some "party henchmen", this kind of thing, there is no need to come forward by yourself, just ask someone to arrange it. Yang has no way to reform, the more he is short of money now, the more he has to dress himself up as if he is not short of money.

"Your Majesty, this ...... is to let the people see an 'accident', and then through this 'accident', you will know that Your Majesty has silver, there is no shortage of silver, and military tickets can be exchanged for silver coins at any time, right?" Xiao Shunzi was very surprised that the emperor actually asked them to do this. I had to recount what I heard, for fear that I had heard it wrong.

"Yes, the matter of military tickets has always been a headache for me, I have just said, the credibility of military tickets, to be done, don't let the people always get military tickets on the front foot, and exchange them for silver coins on the back foot, so that I don't have a little room to move, so your task this time is to convince the people that this batch of silver is the guarantee silver I made for the military tickets, and it will be sent to the bank for the people to exchange for military tickets at any time, and my military tickets are guaranteed by silver coins, and they are reputable......" Yang Gai instructed again.

Xiao Shunzi and Li Ruolian understood what the emperor meant, and they all knew about the military tickets, and Li Ruolian was directly involved in the exchange of military tickets, so he naturally knew the details. Hearing that the emperor arranged it for the sake of military tickets, he also believed it, although this thing is a bit ridiculous, but it is also reasonable, because now it is true that the common people get military tickets with their front feet, and exchange their back feet for silver coins, and they will never stay overnight, for fear that their silver will be wasted overnight.

"The slave and maid understand, Your Majesty can rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely send someone to perform this play well, and ensure that the people will believe that Your Majesty's military ticket is leveraged." Xiao Shunzi didn't want to think about it and agreed to come down, this kind of thing, in fact, is very simple, more than 100 cars of silver coins, a car with 2,000 catties on it, no need to play tricks, directly find someone to hit him a few cars, the silver coins of white flowers will be scattered all over the street, when the time comes, send someone to add a little oil and vinegar to say, the emperor's wish, will naturally be achieved.

"The minister obeys the order, and he must finish this matter for His Majesty, so that the people will have more confidence in the military ticket." Li Ruolian didn't think much about it, and immediately agreed. ,

"Okay, how to arrange, I don't care, anyway, my request, be sure to make this silver transport, everyone knows, the car with silver, must be heavy, don't be light to make up the number, hit the car, hit him a few, spill the silver coins on the car, let the white silver coins be seen by the people, people mixed in the crowd, to explain in time, anyway, must, to hit the silver coins this time, hit the ...... vigorous," Yang Gai said.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the slaves (ministers) will definitely do it for Your Majesty." Xiao Shunzi and Li Ruolian agreed unequivocally, this matter is really easy.

"Okay, then you can go and discuss it, see how to do it, discuss the details, tomorrow, I will see the results, and I will carry out a lot of publicity in the newspaper to help you expand your influence......" Yang said.

Yang Reform arranged this "crash show", not only for the people to perform, let the people see their own background, let the people believe that their military tickets are very reputable, more importantly, Yang Reform is ready to perform for those nobles, officials to see, Yang Reform is ready to sell stocks, now, the stock has been frozen, in the fermentation period, their own move to sell or not, will make those idiots suspicious, now, it is the street to overturn several cars of silver coins, this kind of inadvertently revealed "news", unintentionally exposed, It will make those idiots believe that they are not short of money, believe that their stocks may not be sold again, and believe that they are reluctant to sell Liulizhai's stocks, creating an illusion that it is not cost-effective to sell 10 million taels of Liulizhai...... and it is logical for the stock price to rise.

……

Shaanxi, northwest of Chengcheng, an army of more than 1,000 people has surrounded an earthen enclosure called a dwarf village.

This is called the dwarf village of the earthen enclosure, that is, to kill Baishui Zhixian Wang Douyao, Wang Er's lair, but also robbed a landlord Tuweizi, rebuilt, Wang Er with hundreds of people, with the familiarity with the local terrain, and the official army has also caught countless times of hiding, originally, the official army came to encircle and suppress, he should not hide in this earthen enclosure, however, the current situation is very different from the previous encirclement and suppression of the official army.

Before this encirclement and suppression, there was news of the migration of the Son of Heaven outside, as long as you go down the river, you can always find the relief point of the Son of Heaven, and if you find the relief point, you can live, and the Son of Heaven will send a boat to transport you to the south, where to enclose the lake to make fields, and start life again, many peasants who followed Wang Er's rebellion left in the night, and went to the emperor's relief point, I don't know that the road doesn't matter, just go down the river. The people who followed Wang Er just wanted to have something to eat, and now, not only do they have food to eat, but also land to share, so naturally they will no longer follow Wang Er to do this business of eating the last meal but not the next meal.

Therefore, although Wang Er played tricks on the officials and soldiers several times, and the encirclement and suppression of the officials and troops were all in vain, his men and horses, and their ability to act became weaker and weaker, and now, there are only more than 200 young and strong people who still follow him, and there are only seven or eight hundred people who are old and young.

"Big boss, you have to think of a way, the official army is close to the outside of the stockade, what should we do? Whether to run or stay, the big boss quickly comes up with an idea. …… This time, I heard that it is the emperor's new army, which is a rare elite in the world, and the previous rice buckets are different, this time, they seem to have brought a lot of cannons, this time, I am afraid that they are not as lucky as the last few times...... "The person who spoke is called Chongguangdao, and he is the one who killed the official and rebelled with Wang Er, and in this village, he is the second master." The one he called the great master was Wang Er.

Wang Er sat on the leader's chair decadently, no longer having the majesty of the past. Recently, I feel that things are getting more and more uncomfortable, originally, there are hundreds of people who followed him to kill officials and rebel, and later, it gradually increased, and there were once one or two thousand people, but it was booming, and it became a famous mountain king in several nearby counties, however, since the emperor's immigrating came out, he felt that the days were getting more and more difficult, and the people were decreasing every day, and they were all running for the emperor to immigrate, according to the people who had gone to see it, they did have this thing, walking along the river, generally at the intersection of the river, there were people guarding, As long as they are willing to follow them, they will give them food, and they will also use the boat to transport grain to Dongting Lake, I heard that the lake is enclosed over there to make fields, and after the construction is completed, the settlement fee of twenty silver coins will be given, what is called silver coins, it is the kind of magical thing that can be blown, this kind of magical thing, Wang Er once held a silver coin alone, and blew it for a night, just to listen to the unique "hum" sound of silver coins, this sound is so special, Wang Er has always wanted to find out, where did this sound come from. ,

"Big boss, let's run, we are not the opponent of that group of officers and soldiers, I have seen it from afar, they are not ordinary officers and soldiers, walking, even the steps are the same, where in the world is there such an officer and army? I also brought a lot of cannons, our earth fence, I'm afraid we can't withstand their cannons, I think, they are now setting up cannons, I'm afraid that it won't be long before they will hit the cannons, and when the time comes, they can't run if they want to...... "The three masters said anxiously.

"Big boss, you have something to say," Chongguang Dao anxiously urged.

Wang Er sat on the leader's chair decadently, his eyes were a little dull, and said, "Run?" Where to run? The south and west are all rivers, and the officers and soldiers sent people to guard them on the other side of the river, as long as we show up, they will know, not to mention that there are no boats, the east is those officers and soldiers, and the north is Luochuan. Didn't the third child say that they had hundreds of horse troops? Can we outrun a horse? ”

"The big boss, we can't just wait for death, or, as before, hide in the mountains, with our familiarity with the mountains, those officers and soldiers, don't they dare to follow us into the mountains?" Said anxiously.

"Forget it, old 2, if we enter the mountains, how long will we be able to eat food? I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it for a month......, alas, ......, now in the field, there is not a single grain to be found, and there is still some surplus grain in the big households, and when we enter the mountains, what do we eat? Everyone is dragging their families with their mouths, my second king can't watch everyone starve to death with me, isn't my second king killing officials and rebelling just to find a stutter for everyone? Bring everyone to death, my second king is not that kind of person......"

"It's not going to work, that's not going to work, so what the hell should I do?" Chongguang Dao shouted, at the beginning, they killed officials and rebelled, robbed big households, and played hide and seek with the officials and soldiers, how happy, but since the emperor's immigrant came out, life has obviously become sad, there will be fewer people every day, people's hearts have begun to disperse, and the team is not easy to lead, with a rush, who is willing to follow them to kill the head?

"Alas......, it's late, it's late, if my second king kills that dog official for a year, my second king won't fall into this fate, alas, why don't you ascend the throne a year early, otherwise, my second king, I won't kill the official and rebel, ......, forget it, forget it, the old 2, the third, you ordered the men, women and children in the village to lose their weapons, the officials and soldiers came, they all said that they were tied here by us, they are all good people, they all immigrate to the south, go over there to find food, take a way to live, this place in Shaanxi is no longer a place for people to stay... ..., you tied me up and sent me to the official army, and I, Wang Er, will take this responsibility for this crime alone, and it will be ......" Wang Er said with a face of vicissitudes.

"Big boss, how can this be? If you want to die, everyone will die together, and I will find them to go desperately......"

"Third child, don't go, they are amazing......" Wang Er hurriedly shouted. But it didn't work anymore, and the person known as the third child had already rushed out.

Wang Er's eyes were stunned for a while, and he didn't chase him out, but said to the second master of Chongguang Dao: "Old 2, you do what I say, it's too late, it's too late, let the people in the village lose their weapons, just say that they are all good people who have been kidnapped by us and others nearby, and they are all ready to find the immigration point, if the officials and soldiers ask us where we went, they will say that some of them have long been dispersed, some have gone to immigrate along the river, and some have heard that the officials and soldiers are coming to encircle and suppress, and they have run to the mountains to hide, if you don't want to follow me out, Let's also go incognito with everyone, brother's life, I will find a way to live for everyone......" Wang Er's eyes were desolate, and he looked like he was saying goodbye.

Chong Guangdao had tears in his eyes and cried, didn't they kill that dog official because that dog official didn't let everyone live? Now, there is a way to live, but the big boss can't take this road. In order to find a way for them to live, the big boss is ready to send himself to death.

……

In a short time, an earth-shattering sound rang out, followed by a dense burst of muskets. Next, there's tranquility.

Wang Er's dull eyes shed tears, and he couldn't find a trace of brilliance in his eyes, so he stripped off his shirt in a gloomy manner, tied himself up with a rope, and silently walked towards the gate of Tuweizi, outside which were the officials and soldiers.

With tears in his eyes, he threw the knife to the ground. strode out of the room, not chasing Wang Er, but walking towards the back. ,

Wu Sangui stood under a big tree and observed this earthen enclosure, which was not very high, less than a zhang high earthen wall, that is, the kind of earthen enclosure that the rural rich people defended against bandits, with their artillery, only a few cannons, this kind of earthen enclosure, will collapse. Wu Sangui didn't pay attention to this kind of soil fence at all.

On the soil fence, there are almost no people to be seen, I don't know what kind of medicine is being sold, it stands to reason that at this time, it should be a state of confrontation between the two sides, saber rattling.

"What is the state of containment in the counties?" Wu Sangui asked expressionlessly.

"Back to Qianhu, along the Luoshui coast, Baishui, Yijun, and the central counties received the order of Lord Bi Zi, sent people to collect the boats that crossed the river, and sent people to guard them along the river to strictly prevent the rebels from crossing the river, Luochuan also sent people to guard the road, and now, the rebels have no way to go, this kind of earth fence is much simpler than the city wall when we exercise, and there will be nothing when the cannon goes down......"

"Don't take it lightly, we can't lose this battle, we must win it easily, and we must not suffer too many casualties, otherwise, it will be our sin to hurt the spirit of the new army...... "Wu Sangui listened to the news, and saw that all the counties had done it according to the pre-arrangement, so he was relieved, those people who fought may not be able to fight, but it should be no problem to hold the intersection, he still has four hundred cavalry, if those rebels dare to run towards Luochuan, it will be even better.

"A thousand households have to learn a lesson."

"Now, if you are not afraid that they will run, or that they will come out to fight, you will be afraid that they will hide in the mountains, and that will be bad, so that we may have to stay here......"

"Thousands of households, look, there is a situation ......"

Wu Sangui also saw it, and the gate of this earthen enclosure suddenly opened, and more than a dozen people wielding knives rushed out of it, rushing towards the position of the new army like crazy.

Before the dozen or so men could rush to the front of the Forces nouvelles position, the guns of the Forces nouvelles opened fire, a burst of bombardment, and then, the muskets opened fire in turn, and the smoke cleared, leaving nothing but minced meat on the ground. The battlefield is extremely quiet.

On the other side of the earthen fence, the gate was opened, and no one could be seen anymore.

On the side of the new army, there was just a round of shooting, and the new army was methodically filling gunpowder and lead, when they suddenly found that the battlefield was quiet, and when they looked up, they found that the enemy on the opposite side no longer existed, except for some meat broken by artillery and guns, they could no longer find anything else.

"Qianhu, this ......, what's going on? It's over? ”

Wu Sangui took out his binoculars and carefully observed the situation inside the earthen enclosure through the gate.

"Qianhe, it seems that someone has come out......"

Wu Sangui snorted, put away the binoculars, you can look very carefully without a telescope, inside the earthen enclosure, a person walked out, shirtless, tied by a rope, and walked through the pile of minced meat with an expressionless face, and walked towards the new army.
