Now Qin Mufeng and Cha Bolt are already nervous to the extreme, no matter what the purpose of the foreigners is, once there is a situation in the Ordnance Department and the Firearms Bureau, it will be a big event that will shake the world, it is absolutely earth-shattering, the incident of the robbery of Yanhuang Company has not passed, if there is a matter of trouble now, the two brothers will be alive, and jump directly into the Huangpu River to feed Wang Ba!

As for Lu Daochang, he is even more panicked now, although Lu Daochang is a member of the Intelligence Department, but this matter is not handled well, he will wait to be punished, even if the emperor does not clean himself up, Lord Shangshu will definitely not spare himself!

None of the three dared to slack off, and they all began to act.

However, by the time the three of them began to operate secretly, it was already too late.

Lu Daochang got the news not too late, but he needed to verify the truth of the matter, and when he was sure that there was indeed such a thing, instead of sitting in Nanjing and deploying it in person, he ran away from Songjiang Mansion in one go, which did leave a chance for the opponent, of course, this can't be completely blamed on Lu Daochang, who made the people involved more sensitive, all of them are scholars from Yingtian Academy, this identity is more useful than the East India Company's commercial representatives in Quanzhou and even Nanjing, which is very important to the emperor, Lu Daochang is a rat trap, Yuan Jixian is not the emperor's most trusted descendant after all, if Li Yan is still in Nanjing, Lu Daochang will definitely not run to Songjiang to ask for help.

It's already late.

During the day, all the guns and ammunition sent by the Firearms Bureau were registered and sent to the warehouse of the Ordnance Department for handover; Deng Yu and Lou Bo excused themselves by saying that some defective products were found in the guns, and they needed to be carefully inspected before they could be allocated to Songjiang Mansion and asked Bi Denghan for approval.

Bi Denghan might as well be cheating, thinking that the two people were working hard, and directly approved the request of the two people, and asked him to lead some craftsmen to inspect the munitions, but he didn't know that he had opened the door for the two people to guard and steal, and with Bi Denghan's order, the two people were naturally relieved.

Late at night, it was already past the early hours of the morning, Van der Vaart personally took a sea boat along the Yangtze River all the way to the dock near the Ordnance Department's warehouse, in order to facilitate the operation, Van der Vaart himself even brought nearly 100 people to start.

"Two generals, how are things going?"

Van der Vaart asked with a smile.

Deng Yu replied in a deep voice: "Mr. Van der Vaart, everything is going well, because of the inventory and inspection, all the muskets have been gathered together, five thousand arquebuses, four thousand flintlock muskets, six hundred boxes of ammunition, and now there are only ten craftsmen and fifty guards in the warehouse, ten of which are still retired from the Fujian Navy, these people are divided into two shifts to take turns on duty, we can first kill the officials on duty at night, and then kill the rest of the sleeping officials, and then mobilize manpower to act immediately, 10,000 muskets, 600 boxes of ammunition is not a small amount, we must complete the transportation in the shortest possible time and leave Nanjing City overnight! ”

"Hehe, don't worry!"

Van der Vaart smiled: "What are we all from?" Pirates are engaged in the business of robbing houses and houses, so naturally they can't go wrong! Brothers, act immediately, do your actions quickly, don't leak the news, first pack up the ten servants, and then carry the arms, quickly! ”

Forty servants, facing more than 100 professional pirates, where to see, basically did not know what was going on, and they all died at the hands of these pirates.

Bundles of guns and boxes of ammunition were quickly carried by these people to the sea boat, although the warehouse is close to the Yangtze River, but it is also a distance from the wharf, how can it be two or three miles away, and if you want to empty all the guns and ammunition, even if more than 100 people do it, it is not easy to get it all.

Fortunately, this place already belongs to the edge of the outer city of Nanjing, late at night, silent, basically no one will sneak out at this time.

For two or three hours, more than 100 people worked together to carry all the guns and ammunition from the ordnance storehouse onto the ship.

Van der Vaart was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Come on, start the ship immediately, set sail, and go all the way east along the Yangtze River, hehe, it only takes two days, we can rush out of the Yangtze River and enter the East China Sea!" ”

"Wait!"

Deng Yu stretched out his hand and stopped, "Mr. Van der Vaart, everything has been moved onto the ship, and the promise between us should be fulfilled, right?" What about the rest of the silver taels? According to the value we agreed, a total of 160,000 taels of silver, you have already paid 30,000 taels of silver for the silver ticket, and there are 130,000 taels! ”

Van der Vaart frowned and replied: "General Deng, you must know that we have not left Nanjing City yet, and the top priority is to leave Nanjing first, and after that, the silver, will we lose you?" ”

"Mr. Van der Vaart, we don't make a deal once or twice, what we pay attention to is the payment of the goods, your goods have been counted, naturally you have to pay us a silver ticket, our brother can't be without any precautions, right?"

Lou Bo on the side sneered.

The two of them are not stupid, what if they run halfway with him Van der Vaart, and this kid makes a bad mess? Although it won't kill the two of them, if the rest of the money is not given, and the second son is directly given, won't the two of them be dumbfounded? This is a hundred thousand taels of silver, not thousands of taels or tens of thousands of taels!

Van der Vaart raised his eyebrows, and was about to turn his face, but he suddenly endured it, took out the silver ticket from his arms, and said in a muffled voice: "Here, this is a silver ticket with a face value of one hundred and thirty chapters and one thousand taels, get on the boat first, let's run while counting, this is in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it is on the Yangtze River, even if I want to play tricks, I can't do it through the wind and rain, right?" ”

Deng Yu and Lou Bo glanced at each other, Van der Vaart said well, there are ten people around him, although there are not as many people as the other party, but if you want to catch all these people, it is impossible, they are all Fujian sailors, which one is not soaked in the water? Once the wind is not in the right direction, a fierce man enters the water and slips away.

The ships sailed away with the munitions.

As soon as the sky was bright, more than a dozen people rode horses from the city and galloped quickly, and as soon as they arrived at the gate of the Ordnance Division, their faces changed greatly.

"Boss, this is not right! Something happened! ”

One of them shouted.

"Nonsense, Lao Tzu saw it, quick, Li San, immediately go to the governor's yamen and send a letter to Inspector Yuan. Tang Hao, you immediately return to the right town of Nanjing, meet the chief soldier, and immediately prepare to blockade Nanjing City! For the rest, let me immediately enter the Ordnance Department to find out! ”

Staff General Li Yunhe was very dissatisfied with the ordnance department's forcible seizure of arms for inspection, and early in the morning he was ordered by Xia Wanchun to come to negotiate, ready to take away the batch of muskets in the right town of Nanjing, but as soon as he arrived at the ordnance department, he found that the door of the ordnance department was open, there were blood stains everywhere, and the dead bodies were lying on the ground.
