Chapter 232: Wealth Great wealth
When the captives were arranged into the town, they behaved very obediently, and there was no conflict with the Jinzhou army, and they were like two groups on the other side of the river, and the change before and after was astonishing.
This confirms Shi Dayong's expectation before the massacre - the surviving captives will be grateful to the Jinzhou army who once slaughtered their companions, and begin to subconsciously think about the Jinzhou army.
This psychological transformation has actually been confirmed by later generations of psychologists and formed a discipline, but Shi Dayong does not know the way. If he had known the Tao, I am afraid that he would have been complacent and glad that he had been the first to put this scientific fact into practice.
Everything is going according to his own ideas, no matter how brutal and bloody the whole process is, Shi Dayong is very satisfied. He is satisfied with the result, the process, and does not value.
As he had heard in his previous life, he only wanted to win, but as for how to win, I didn't want to know the way.
The joy of success has diluted his guilt and guilt for the massacre, and it must be said that Shi Dayong himself is also an extreme individual, his way of thinking is so extreme that it is unbearable, and there is no awareness of civilization of a traveler.
It can also be said that he is a hypocritical person, a butcher who likes crocodile tears. However, it is probably most appropriate to say that he is a gambler.
The gambler doesn't care about the process, all he wants is to win. Maybe he will repent, but after the confession it will be even crazier
Shahe Town is very large, it was originally a large town with a population of more than 700 households, so there are many houses, although some of them were burned down by the rebels, but the remaining houses can still support thousands of people.
It was almost late at night, and it was too cold to do anything more, so Shi Dayong ordered all his troops to rest after using the food prepared by the rebels, and leave everything to dawn.
Although the captives became very honest, Shi Dayong still ordered Shao Wu to take two hundred Changping soldiers to guard the town, and also to prevent Zhao Xueqi from failing to persuade him to surrender, and Wang Tiande's troops took advantage of the night to rob the town.
When Peng Dazhui and the horse thieves saw Shi Dayong passing by, they were all afraid and did not dare to face it.
What the horse thieves are afraid of, Shi Dayong naturally knows it, but he doesn't break it, and it is up to them to think about it.
Hundreds of women who were taken captive by the rebels from Haixing County lived with hundreds of women in the original town, and Jiang Wanli led people to live in the house in front of them, in order to prevent his subordinates from being full of warmth and lust. Lust, committing adultery. Regarding the matter of lewd women, Shi Dayong specially passed down a strict order, and asked Guo Yi to lead his personal army to patrol constantly, once he found that someone sneaked into the place where the women lived, no matter who the other party was or what he wanted to do, he would be arrested. If you are committing adultery. If they are caught on the spot, they will be killed regardless of the reason.
Shi Dayong can tolerate his army's advocating violence, and can tolerate himself and his subordinates' extreme bloodthirstiness, but he must not tolerate his army becoming an army of beasts that plague his compatriots.
Perhaps, proper venting can boost the morale of the army, but unless it is for a woman of different races, Shi Dayong will never allow this violence. The occurrence of the line.
That night, nothing happened.
The captives, frightened by the slaughter, slept so soundly that the snoring could be heard throughout the town of Shahe.
It's a relaxation that comes with total peace of mind. In their sleep, they don't have to worry about their heads falling to the ground
After dawn, I didn't see Zhao Xueqi leading Wang Tiande's rebels back.
Last night, another layer of ice floe formed on the surface of the collapsed river, although it was not too thick, but from a distance, it was impossible to see any difference between the ice surface of the sand river, and what had happened under the ice surface.
The weather is not bad today, although it is still cold, but at least there is no wind and the sun is warm.
Before deciding what to do with the captives, Shi Dayong was eager to know what loot he had received from Chen.
Last night, because of the hurry, the goods were hastily collected and loaded into the town in three wagons, and they were not counted in detail.
When preparing to count the results of the battle, Qi Sanbao brought another piece of news that made Shi Dayong happy, that is, the town hid a lot of goods that Chen Shi led his troops to loot from various places, most of which were gold and silver.
"Is it in there?"
Shi Dayong carefully looked at the courtyard in front of him, compared to the other two courtyards in the town, this courtyard was not very large, and it was not known how Chen sometimes took a fancy to this courtyard as his treasure house.
"This is where the last general saw with his own eyes that the general Chen Thief had the things he stole in."
Qi Sanbao was very conscious, and changed the title of "small" yesterday to the self-title of "last general", so that it sounded like a closer relationship with the Jinzhou army. But habitually, when calling Chen sometimes, he still instinctively wanted to say the general, but fortunately, he reacted in time and quickly replaced it with "Chen thief".
Seeing that the courtyard was locked by a big lock, Shi Dayong waved his hand at Guo Yi, who immediately took an iron rod to open the copper lock.
After the lock was smashed open, Guo Yi took people in to inspect it first to prevent anyone inside. After confirming the safety, Shi Dayong took Cao Bianjiao, Jiang Wanli, Li Dashan and other generals into the courtyard.
The courtyard is a typical farmhouse, with a three-room layout. The room was also locked, and after Guo Yi smashed it open again, the door was pushed open.
What caught everyone's eyes was more than a dozen large iron-inlaid boxes, neatly stacked there, and some copper coins were scattered on the ground, not much.
Shi Dayong walked to the nearest box, reached out and wiped it, and found that there was no dust at all, and he didn't want to store it for a long time.
"Open!"
"Yes!"
Guo Yi smashed the lock of the box with some excitement, then threw away the iron rod and reached out to lift the lid of the box.
After the box was lifted, everyone, including Shi Dayong, exclaimed in unison.
It turned out that the chest was full of gold and silver, and it shook people's eyes.
Holding down the excitement in his heart, Shi Dayong asked Guo Yi to open the other boxes as well, and after opening them, they were all full of gold and silver.
Shi Dayong grabbed a few gold ingots and checked them in his hand, the weight was not light, each piece weighed a few taels. Broken from the volume of the chest, the gold and silver in it should weigh a hundred pounds.
A box is 100 catties, more than 10 catties is more than 1,000 catties, that is, it is filled with silver, and there are as many as 10,000 taels, which is undoubtedly a huge wealth. What's more, each box was filled with a mixture of gold and silver, and it didn't take long to think that it had been robbed for a long time, and Chen sometimes hadn't asked someone to sort it out.
Seeing so much gold and silver, Li Dashan and Jiang Wanli were very excited, holding the gold in their hands, and smirked.
After getting so much wealth at once, Shi Dayong was also happy, and reached out to dig into the box, but found that there were all kinds of jewelry piled up underneath, and some of the jewelry even had blood stains on it. This made Shi Dayong naturally think that the rebels were robbing. The tragedy that took place when these jewels were looted.
The soldiers who searched the two rooms next door reported even better news that there were also chests of hidden treasure in these two rooms, more than the outside.
