Chapter 32 Targeted Training
Cen Yuying's statement also brought out a bigger problem, the Zhou family's tiger squat cannon was not placed on its back, but sat flat on the stone pier, and there was a shaft on the stone pier that could be rotated.
"This old Wang Ba, who has learned all the good things, has all gone to do evil."
Yang Meng was also angry, this Zhou's manor was a turtle shell, he was a tiger, and he couldn't get out of his mouth.
After understanding all the defenses of the Zhou family, Yang Meng returned to his yard with the drawings, and he didn't believe it, he was a drug lord in later generations, and he couldn't play with a Zhou Da animal in the Qing Dynasty.
has been a mercenary, has done armed robbery business, many things that have been forgotten slowly passed through Yang Meng's heart, and an action against the Zhou family's manor has also slowly had a draft.
Since the usual attack is useless, give him a special operation, and the night is not a good time for a sneak attack, so choose a heavy rainy day to attack the Zhou family manor.
The methods of many mercenaries were also added to Yang Meng's plan, first controlling the Zhou family's tiger squat cannon, and then dealing with his well-trained nurses.
Sneak attack on a rainy day, the Yang family's firearms can't be used, the bow and arrow Yang Meng asked, it can be used on a rainy day, but the quasi-head is a little worse, as long as the tiger squat cannon is controlled, with the advantage of numbers, it should be able to take the Zhou family's manor.
As soon as the plan was formulated, Yang Meng asked Ding Baojun to give the staff officer, but there was still a problem, it rarely rained in Yunnan at this time, and even if there was rain, it was only showers, and the plan to attack the Zhou family's manor during the day was directly denied.
At night, the Zhou family's defense is tight, and an old thief like Zhou Shiqing who has done all the evil things must be very cautious, and I am afraid that the Zhou family's defense is the most severe in the early morning.
Ding Baojun was on the side, and Yang Meng also inquired, the Zhou family had not been disturbed for many years, and if he wanted to attack the Zhou family, he could only choose the time when Zhuang Ding was the most slack.
The early hours of the morning are the easiest to be attacked, according to the Zhou family, the strong men are often drilled, at this time their vigilance is the highest, it is not a good time, the time to eat dinner, should be the best opportunity.
Yang Meng found a few knife hands and went to observe the Zhou family from a distance, the time when their family was cooking, it was almost when the sky was just dark, and then the hazy sky was just a sneak attack.
And just after eating, people's bodies will instinctively be a little slack, and their reactions will be slower, and they will take advantage of this time to attack the Zhou family's manor, which has the highest success rate.
The Zhou family manor is on the road in and out of Yiliang, the swordsmen just pretend to be the horse gang, first attract their attention, take advantage of the noise of the horse gang, let the swordsmen take advantage of the night to arrive at the location of the pre-selected Lu, the outbreak of trouble, the horse gang surrounded the Zhou family, the knife hands solved the Zhou family's Zhuang Ding, just come!
Yang Meng let Ding Baojun take a look at this plan again, and this time he didn't put forward an opinion, which can be regarded as an approval.
With a perfect plan, the people also need to be trained, and making a model of the Zhou family manor has become the top priority.
Of course, you don't have to make them all, only the Zhou family has the location of the tiger squat cannon, and Zhuang Ding's residence is the main target, and if these problems are solved, the Zhou family manor will change hands.
The lethality of the knife is insufficient, Yang Meng went to ask, most of these new knife hands, most of them have hunted, will use bows and arrows, shuttle darts are also a good weapon, Yang Meng let the craftsman, made a batch of more than one meter long shuttle darts, one is can be thrown to kill, the other is the lethality of this shuttle dart, to be greater than the waist knife.
Selected a hundred superb archery knife hands, they are responsible for shooting the Zhou family's Zhuang Ding, a hundred strength, throwing shuttle darts with accurate heads, they are the attack team, fifty sword skills are good, with the attack team, the rest pretend to be a horse gang, surround the Zhou family, can not let go of a Zhou family.
After dividing into groups, you can start training, first attack the team, let them take the courtyard wall of Wuzhuang as the goal, learn how to climb the courtyard wall quickly, and enter the courtyard smoothly without being injured.
In the courtyard is a building model made of straw, as well as a tiger squat cannon made of wood, the first step for these people is to abolish the Zhou family's tiger squat cannon, the means is very simple, that is, to splash water.
After doing this, they had to cooperate with the swordsman team and the bow and arrow team to uproot the Zhou family's Zhuang Ding one by one.
The person in charge of the encirclement took Yangjiawuzhuang as the goal, trained the encirclement and blockade again and again, and learned the general road mathematics, and then the specific training.
The archer shoots a fixed target, then a moving target, and finally practices in the model. The same is true for the attacking team, the accuracy of the shuttle dart, how to assassinate, must be familiar with one by one.
These things are proficient, the next thing is the real person training, this time Yang Meng also participated, he also has a task, when he sneaks into the Zhou family manor, he will take Tang Meiyi, Wei Huozi and the most elite twenty knife men, responsible for capturing Zhou Shiqing alive.
The swordsmen who were in charge of outflanking the periphery played the role of Zhuang Ding of the Zhou family, and the drills not only improved the familiarity of the swordsmen with the action, but also slowly improved their quality.
For twenty days, Yang Meng soaked all in the training ground, looking at the knife hands one by one, becoming more and more proficient in their movements, Yang Meng felt that they had reached the limit, and they would not make much progress if they continued to practice.
In these days, Yang Meng also constantly sent knife hands to the Zhou family manor to step on the plate, and the Yang family's horse team often went to Yiliang, which provided convenience for Yang Meng, suppressed the horse gang to expand the team, mixed with knife hands, and passed through the Zhou family manor at various times.
The purpose of this is to familiarize the swordsmen with the terrain near the Zhou family, and secondly, to let the Zhou family get used to the large-scale horse gang and slowly reduce their vigilance.
The effect of this is good, after a few times, whenever the caravan passes, the steward of the Zhou family has to come out and buy some things directly from the caravan, and many knife hands take the opportunity to carry the goods, and they are also familiar with the actual situation of the Zhou family's manor.
The goods of the Yang family horse gang are complete, and the price is much lower than that in the county, and the Zhou family started to buy and sell with the Yang family, except for Zhou Shiqing's yard, most of the Zhou family's manor, and the knife hands under Yang Meng have almost touched it.
Moreover, they also found a lot of useful things from the mouth of the Zhou family Zhuang Ding, and what excited Yang Meng the most was that the Zhou family still had authenticity.
Perhaps because of all the bad things, Zhou Shiqing attaches great importance to his safety, and in his yard, there are ten of the most powerful Zhuang Ding living all year round, and these people are Zhou Shiqing's most powerful insurance.
Once the Zhou family's manor is attacked, as long as he delays for a while, he will escape along the tunnel, if he doesn't know the news of Lu Dao, according to Yang Meng's original plan, it is likely that he will not be able to catch Zhou Shiqing, an old thief.
The swordsmen have nothing else to do except training, but Yang Meng is different, capturing Zhou Shiqing alive is only the first step in the plan, and after doing this, there are still many important things to deal with.
The Zhou family has a lot of money and robs it! Many people will suffer from pink eye, especially the officials in Yunnan officialdom, not to mention the Zhou family's thousands of acres of fertile land and countless mountains and forests, the floating wealth of the Zhou family alone will make many people unable to control themselves.
If the Yang family does this, it will soon become the second Zhou family, although the soldiers in Yunnan are rubbish, they can't stand up to the large number of them.
Bird guns, guns, and big iron cannons, although they can't deal with foreign devils, they are enough to deal with the Yang family.
If you want to eat the fat of the next Zhou family, the procedure must be legal, and the title deed and the deed must be transferred, and it is best to go through the government, which is why Yang Meng wants to capture Zhou Shiqing alive.
But he is not very familiar with the things in this, and it seems that he is going to ask Lao Ding again.
This question, the problem is really not small, at this time there is no silver ticket, large transactions, are cash cash, the Zhou family's mountains, forests and fields, and the huge manor, not tens of thousands of taels, hundreds of thousands of taels can be solved, if you want not to make people suspicious, this price must be fair, it is best to have more.
Moreover, there are two ways to trade land, and the private delivery does not go through the government, so it is called white deed, which is used on the Zhou family's thousands of hectares of fertile land, which is obviously a bit of child's play.
Only the tax deed after the official seal of the imperial court and the payment of taxes, that is, the so-called red deed, can be officially recognized.
Taking a large amount of gold and silver to Yiliang is obviously not a way, in case someone is targeted, no matter how great the prestige of the Yang family is, it will not be able to stop the greed of human nature.
As for whether the Zhou family has such a large amount of gold and silver, it is also unknown, if there is no preparation, there will be many changes after a long time.
Roughly let Ding Baojun estimate that the Zhou family's industry is worth at least three million taels of silver, such a huge amount, it will be troublesome to bring it over, and if this problem is not solved, it will not be able to justifiably take away the Zhou family's industry.
How to make Zhou Shiqing sell his property is also a big problem, fortunately, Zhou Shiqing is not a native of Yunnan, and it is not bad to get an excuse to return to his hometown.
Three million taels of silver, according to the ratio of gold and silver exchange, also get 200,000 taels of gold, this can give some ideas. Get some lead blocks at the bottom, and put a layer of gold ingots on top, but you can hide from the government.
How to transport these lead blocks has also become a troublesome matter, Yang Meng is going to rob, with such a heavy cargo, it is not very convenient, if you can put the lead in the Zhou family in advance, it is a good choice.
The Yang family and the Zhou family are not far apart, and the Yang family's goods are placed in the Zhou family, obviously it is not a good idea to go to the horse team in advance, or to go to the horse team later, in case of missing the news, it is definitely a big trouble.
"Let the caravan go to Yiliang find an excuse to try, if it is possible, we don't have to worry about the money, if you want to come to the Yang family's face, it is still of some use to Zhou Shiqing."
Since this thing can't be done, let's try it, maybe the Zhou family can help keep it for the sake of the Yang family's face, Yang Meng told Ding Baojun this idea to see what he thinks.
"What do you say about the reason?"
Lao Ding felt that it was not impossible to do this, but he needed a suitable reason.
"Let's just say that there is a merchant in Yiliang who wants it, and I didn't have enough money for a while, so I put it in Zhou's house for a few days to save us the trouble of running back and forth!"
"Zhou Shiqing is not a fool, my Yang family also has a grange in Yiliang, why don't you put it there?"
"The Grange? What kind of place is the Grange, it is nothing more than a few broken tile houses, so many lead blocks, and it is worth some silver, so it is safer to put it in the Zhou family. ”
The old and the young made up their minds, so they directly asked the Ma Gang to try it, and as Ding Baojun said, the Zhou family agreed.
The matter of seizing the family property has been solved, and the next thing is to open up the relationship on Yiliang's side, Jiang Yuanji is an object that can be cooperated, and the history of Yiliang wearing a pair of pants with Zhou Shiqing must be removed.
It is also a trouble to bring how much silver to bribe Jiang Yuanji, if he has more, he will be suspicious, and if he has less, he will not be satisfied, and if you are sure of this degree, you have to find the old man.
"Yiliang Jiang Yuanji, ten thousand taels!"
This is the answer given by the old man, it is difficult to hide Jiang Yuanji, but it is not easy for Jiang Yuanji to figure out the Tao inside, and the tacit understanding of both parties is the root of the success.
