Chapter 264: Life and Death Bureau, Blood Slaughter City Comes in Person
Zengzhou Mansion is located in the east of the city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After the 10,000 Dragon and Tiger Army occupied Zengzhou, more than a dozen generals such as Shi Zheng, Xu Shijie, and Xue Changsheng led 9,000 men and horses to garrison and deploy defenses in various parts of Zengzhou, preparing to take over the entire Zengzhou city in the shortest possible time.
At the same time, Shen Hongyu and Wu Xuanyin led hundreds of dragon-blooded warriors, guarding Nie Dashuai, galloping all the way to the mansion of Dongsifang.
Basically, as long as the brothers who followed Nie Dashuai to the south and north station knew that Nie Dashuai had a special habit, he was extremely fond of gold and silver, and every time he broke through a city, the first thing he had to do was to go to the official office and count and seal the treasury.
Over time, everyone figured out Nie Dashuai's preferences, in short, as long as the city is broken, there will always be some minions who are more agile, they will find out the location of the warehouse as soon as possible, and then tell Nie Dashuai.
After learning the specific location of the Zengzhou warehouse, Nie Zheng led the men and horses, flying the horses' hooves along the way, passing through the streets and alleys, and it didn't take long for him to break into Dongsifang.
The layout of the Zengzhou warehouse is basically the same as that of Yangzhou.
The treasury is built near the official office, which is convenient for care and management.
When Nie Zheng and the others entered Dongsifang, from a distance, they saw more than a dozen dragon and tiger elites wearing military armor, who had already held light machine guns, firmly guarding the door of the warehouse.
Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng was relieved, hurriedly rode to the door of the warehouse, quickly turned over and dismounted, and then walked quickly towards the door of the warehouse, provoking Shen Hongyu, who was following closely, secretly frowned, and said in his heart, when did this little thief become so obsessed with money?
Looking at his anxious appearance now, he is completely a miser reincarnation.
Regarding everyone's strange reactions, Nie Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to them.
At this moment, nothing is more important in his heart than gold and silver.
Since it has been decided to occupy the entire Annam County, there will be a lot of places where money will be needed in the future, not to mention the munitions commercial street, just because the southern city defense of Yangzhou was destroyed last time, if it is to be repaired intact, at least a large amount of money will have to be spent.
In addition to resting and maintaining the city defenses everywhere, the military salaries and grass of the tens of thousands of dragon and tiger troops under his command are also a huge expense, according to Jia Xiufang's last report, now the various expenses of tens of thousands of dragon and tiger troops every month alone almost need tens of thousands of taels of silver. As for the Yulu of those state and county yamen, these Nie Zheng have not been counted.
In short, conquering a territory is definitely not an easy task.
Although it is easy to break through a city, if you want to develop and grow for a long time, you need to work hard, especially money, which is an essential thing.
After seeing Nie Zheng coming, more than a dozen dragon and tiger elites guarding outside the warehouse bowed down one after another.
"I've seen the big handsome!"
"Excuse me!"
Nie Zheng waved his hand, quickly climbed the steps, and came to the gate of the warehouse.
The door of the treasury had already been opened, and Nie Zheng looked up and looked inside, only to see that the scale and area of the increased treasury were much smaller than the Yangzhou treasury, but no matter how small the treasury of the state city was, it would be more than ten times larger than the treasury of those county offices.
At this moment, the lights in the storeroom are bright, which is the unwritten rule of every storehouse.
Throughout the year, the lights must never be extinguished.
Through the bright lights, Nie Zheng could clearly see that in the first half of the warehouse, there were mountains of copper coins on the ground, not to mention tens of thousands.
Behind the area where the copper coins were stacked, there were rows of sturdy wooden shelves, on which were placed many wooden boxes and wooden boxes, presumably in which a large amount of gold and silver goods should have been stored.
Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng nodded with satisfaction, turned to the people guarding outside and ordered: "You are all guarding the door, I will go in and check, and you are not allowed to enter the warehouse for half a step without my order." ”
"Yes, handsome!"
When the people heard the order, they responded in unison.
There was a dull grinding sound, and the two heavy doors of the warehouse were slowly closed from the outside.
Nie Dashuai is like this, every time he enters the warehouse, he will close the door to prevent people from seeing the scene inside, and everyone has long been accustomed to his strange habits.
When the door of the warehouse was closed, Nie Zheng took a deep breath, and then quickly walked around the area where the copper coins were stacked at the front door and walked towards the wooden frame area behind the warehouse.
Thinking that he would get a lot of gold and silver later, Nie Zheng's heart was inevitably a little excited.
It has been more than half a year since he was reborn in this strange ancient world, and every time he gets gold and silver, his mood will be inexplicably excited and happy.
It seems that he really has the potential to be a miser.
Soon, Nie Zheng came to the back half of the warehouse.
In this area of more than 100 meters, there are dozens of heavy wooden shelves up to two meters high, and on each wooden frame, more than a dozen wooden boxes and wooden boxes are stored.
Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng immediately came to one of the wooden frames and quickly opened the two-foot square wooden box.
"Empty?"
Nie Zheng couldn't help frowning, and his expression was already a little displeased.
Immediately afterward, he opened several wooden boxes in succession, all of which were empty.
At this moment, Nie Zheng began to feel that something was wrong, he forcibly endured the uneasiness in his heart, and quickly opened the wooden boxes and boxes on several wooden shelves attached to it.
As a result, it's still the same.
Empty!
Nie Zheng's face became more and more gloomy, and there were hundreds of villages and towns in five counties under the rule of Zengzhou.
It stands to reason that with the excesses and miscellaneous taxes of these Dayue people, the treasury of Zengzhou should be very rich, except for the copper coins in the previous area, it is reasonable to say that there should be more than 100,000 taels of gold and silver in this treasury.
But just now he opened dozens of wooden boxes and wooden boxes in a row, and there was nothing.
However, Nie Zheng was not willing to let this happen, he continued to open the wooden box to check, and in just a few minutes, he opened and probed all the wooden boxes and wooden boxes stored on all the wooden shelves.
As a result, he was extremely disappointed.
All the wooden boxes and wooden boxes were empty, not to mention gold and silver, and not even a copper plate was seen.
Looking at the rows of empty wooden boxes in front of him, Nie Zheng was extremely annoyed, and kicked over a wooden frame in front of him with a kick on the spot.
"Hell, what the hell is going on? Why is there no gold or silver in Zengzhou's treasury except for tens of thousands of copper coins? Could it be that all of them were taken away by those Dayue people? ”
Thinking of this, Nie Zheng took a deep breath and tried to calm the anger in his heart.
Originally, he was in such a hurry to attack Zengzhou, just for the gold and silver, and now all the gold and silver in the Zengzhou treasury have been emptied, how can you tell him not to be angry.
However, Nie Zheng secretly felt strange in his heart.
From the time they broke through the defense of the western city of Zengzhou to the time when they led the army to occupy the entire Zengzhou city, it took less than an hour in total.
In such a short period of time, those Dayue people who were guarding Zengzhou, they were in a hurry to retreat, where would there be so much time to empty the treasury.
Even if they hurriedly took away the gold and silver in the treasury before leaving, at the very least, the furnishings in this treasury would not be so neat, it would definitely be a mess, and some gold and silver ingots would be sprinkled on the ground.
However, at present, the warehouse is clean and tidy, and it seems that there is a large group of people hurriedly washing and sweeping the scene.
"Could it be that Sang Kang has already led his henchmen to evacuate Zengzhou? And at the time of the evacuation, the warehouse in Zengzhou had already been emptied? ”
Thinking of this, Nie Zheng's heart moved, and he secretly felt that something was wrong.
As for what was wrong, he couldn't tell.
Because, this attack on Zengzhou City seems to be a little too smooth.
From breaking the city to leading the soldiers and horses to occupy the whole city, the speed and progress were so smooth that Nie Zheng felt a little unrealistic.
A long time ago, he had heard many times that the people of Da Yue were cunning and cunning, and they were best at jungle ambush warfare and street fighting.
If when they first attacked the city, because the artillery fire was too fierce for the Dayue people to hold on, then these Dayue people who defended the city, they could completely abandon the city defense and retreat to the inner city, relying on their familiarity with the city streets, to turn to the ambush street warfare they are good at.
However, when the city defense was breached, all the Dayue people who defended the city immediately led their soldiers and horses to flee and retreat.
Obviously, this is not quite like the usual fighting style of the Da Yue people.
Could it be that they still have any foreshadowing and tricks?
With doubts in his heart, Nie Zheng felt more and more that things were not simple.
He always felt that the Da Yue people seemed to have some conspiracy, or that the enemy had set up a game and was waiting for him to drill into it.
"No, I have to leave the treasury quickly, inform Shi Zheng and Xu Shijie, and tell them to be careful and vigilant, so as not to fall for the enemy's evil and poisonous tricks."
Thinking of this, Nie Zheng immediately kicked open a wooden box blocking in front of him and prepared to leave the empty warehouse.
Just as he had just rounded out a wooden frame and was about to step into the area in front of him where copper coins were stacked.
Suddenly, a dark voice sounded behind him. "I have heard for a long time that every time Nie Dashuai breaks a city, he has a hobby of exploring the local treasury, and it seems that the rumors are indeed true......
Hearing this, Nie Zheng's face changed, and he hurriedly turned his head to look, and found that there was nothing behind him, and he didn't see half a figure at all.
Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng was vigilant in his heart, and secretly contacted Jack and asked him to teleport an AA12 shotgun out.
Holding the AA12 shotgun, Nie Zheng's mind was a lot calmer, and immediately he searched around the warehouse with his eyes flashing, and said in a deep voice: "He Fang master, since you are here, why don't you show up and see it, so hide your head and show your tail, wouldn't it be a loss of identity to be sneaky!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a red figure suddenly appear out of thin air on the wall in the depths of the warehouse.
I saw that the red figure continued to spread and enlarge on the wall, and finally, Nie Zheng was surprised to find that a thin middle-aged man in a red robe, as if he had suddenly come out of the wall, slowly appeared in front of his eyes......
