Chapter Seventy-Six: Embezzling Gold and Silver

After the rebels entered the city, the soldiers were divided into three routes, all the way to the county government, all the way to the treasury, and all the way to the Fengcheng Palace.

Zhu Changwei, the king of Fengcheng, was sleeping peacefully in the mansion, and suddenly heard the shouts of killing outside, so frightened that he hurriedly called the palace guards to inquire about the situation.

There are only more than 100 people in the royal guards, but at this moment, they are also black-eyed, like blind people.

These 100 people don't practice all year round, and they follow the prince in the county every day, and their combat power is basically zero.

However, the scale of the palace is huge, there are more than 100 houses, and the wall is high, so it is basically impossible for the soldiers of the rebels to climb with their bare hands.

But this is difficult to lead the team Niu Ji, Niu Ji asked someone to borrow the stairs from the people's house, and found a big wood hugged by two people, and directly sent twenty soldiers to hold the wood and hit the door.

The gate of the palace was high and big, and the door bolt had already been inserted inside, and the soldiers hit it more than 20 times in a row before knocking the gate open.

As soon as the door opened, the palace was in chaos for a while, and the maids, servants and guards were all frightened and fled, and no one would think of protecting the prince.

Zhu Changwei heard the knock knock outside the door, every time there was a sound, he was so frightened that he jumped once, and when the rebel soldiers broke through the door, Zhu Changwei was stupid.

Niu Ji raised his fast knife and shouted: "Brothers, pay attention to the knife, don't hack the bird prince to death, the handsome is still useful!" ”

Zhu Changwei, who was hiding in the backyard, was found out not long after, and all the guards around him were killed by the rebel soldiers, and none of them were alive, and the family members and maids of the palace did not escape, they were all captured alive.

Niu Ji came to Zhu Changwei, who was trembling with fright, put a knife on his neck, and asked sharply: "Tell me quickly, where is the treasury of the palace!" ”

Zhu Changwei shivered while pointing to a single-family house in the backyard and said, "In... At.. That.. Inside. ”

Niu Ji glanced at the house and saw a plaque hanging on it, with three big characters on it - Treasure Building!

Niu Ji couldn't help but praise after reading it: "Yo, this building is built well, come on, tie me up, and escort Qingjiang!" ”

Niu Ji entered the treasure building with his own team, and without taking the key to open the door, he directly used a knife to cut the lock, kicked the door open, and suddenly a smell of gold and silver rushed to his face.

I saw that the room was full of all kinds of shelves, and the shelves were all valuable things such as jade and golden Buddhas.

On the second floor, there were eight large boxes upstairs, and when I opened them, they were all shiny silver, and there was a thought of golden gold.

"Haha, get rich!"

Where had the soldiers in the pro-soldier team seen so much money, and they were immediately fascinated by the gold and silver.

"General, a lot of gold and silver, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver!"

Niu Ji nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, Lao Tzu has never seen so much money in his life, this King Fengcheng is really worthy of being one of the most beloved sons of King Yi (King Xuan of the previous chapter, King Xuan is the name of King Xuan after death), I heard the businessmen of Jianchang Mansion say that this King Yi likes two sons the most, one is the eighteenth son, the other is the nineteenth son, the two sons are the youngest, and they are born to King Yi's favorite concubine Li, it seems that the rumors are true."

Fengcheng is much better than Jianchang, this Fengcheng King, a small county king, can have so much wealth, and his father loves him inseparably! ”

The soldiers smiled, pointed to the eight large boxes and said, "General, how can we spend so much money?" ”

Niu Ji slapped him as soon as he heard a big slap, and he said, "You little rabbit, can we spend this money?" This is captured by our rebels, but it is not our private property, and the money will be handed over to the commander, and the commander will pay the brothers! ”

As soon as Niu Ji's words were finished, Wu Peng, a captain of the pro-soldiers who was closest to him on weekdays, approached his ear and whispered: "General, you are also an old soldier who followed the commander to death, when you fought Luling, you were a hundred households, and your superior Liu Tielong was already the head of Qian."

But now, the marshal promoted everyone, Liu Qian only made a deputy general of a battalion and a brigade, and he brought his 1,000 men, although you have been promoted to a general, but you are only a general of the third brigade, what is Yi Dayong, but he relied on the same village as Yi Jiu and a few of their veterans, and easily got a general of the second brigade.

General, more than 2,000 of our 3,000 men and horses have surrendered from the side of the official army, and the combat strength is not comparable to that of the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade, and the real main force is all in the 1st Brigade and 2nd Brigade, and all we get are old and weak.

If it weren't for the fact that the marshal really had no troops to adjust today, and this kind of thing would be done by our three brigades in Fengcheng, which round would definitely be snatched away by that Yi Jiu Dog Day.

Our brothers finally came out to work hard, but we can't go back empty-handed, we have to leave ourselves a little behind, right? ”

After Wu Peng's words were finished, Niu Ji's heart couldn't help but start muttering.

Although he is also a native of Yuanzhou, he joined the Righteous Army later than those five generals, and he was able to rise all the way in the Righteous Army, mainly relying on his own fighting bravery, which led to his ascension.

When he fought Luling, he was only a hundred households, and because of his meritorious service, he was later mentioned by the marshal.

This time, he was a commander and a general, and he, the general of the thousands, was also promoted to one level, and naturally became the general of the third brigade, with 3,000 men under his command.

But his previous superior, Liu Tielong, the general manager of Qian, was not as good as him, the commander of the two battalions and six brigades, he was not a fish, only a deputy general in the first battalion, which was inferior to other subordinates.

The main reason for this is that Liu Tielong committed a crime, he took a fancy to a girl when he was beating Luling, and he fell in love with him at a glance, so he had to marry that girl, and finally used Qiang.

At that time, the marshal personally ordered Liu Tielong to be demoted to the third level and retained, and after several battles, Liu Tielong was promoted again, but the degree of reuse was obviously not as good as before.

As for him Niu Ji, he was a rebel who joined with Liu Tielong, although he was promoted to general, but the men and horses of his subordinates were much worse than the first brigade and the second brigade.

As soon as Wu Peng said this, Niu Ji suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"General, so much gold and silver, let's deduct it ourselves, and send the remaining four boxes to Qingjiang, just say that they were seized from the palace, presumably the marshal will not come to check how much we have seized, with this money, let's buy something for the brothers, you look at the brothers below us, the recruits are wearing leather armor, not even a normal set of armor."

Niu Ji was finally moved, he pondered for a while, and made up his mind to say: "Okay, just keep four boxes, and the remaining four boxes, together with the treasures downstairs, will be sent to Qingjiang Dashuai!" ”

.....

The news of the capture of Fengcheng County by the Third Brigade was received by Mo Qian after only two hours, and it was still very early before dawn at this time, Mo Qian immediately ordered Niu Ji to escort Zhu Changwei, the king of Fengcheng, to Qingjiang County immediately.

Before dawn the next day, the soldiers of the Third Brigade returned to Zhangshu by boat, and when they returned, Niu Ji specially sent three boats to rhyme with gold and silver treasures, and twenty boats loaded with rice seized from Fengcheng County, and returned from Fengcheng with a full load.

When he returned to Zhangshu Town, Mo Qian personally went out of the city to greet the soldiers of the Third Brigade, and Niu Ji was flattered when he saw that the handsome man had arrived, and jumped ashore from the boat.

He arched his hand and said: "Dashuai, the last general is fortunate not to be dishonored, conquered Fengcheng, captured Zhu Changwei, the king of Fengcheng alive, and in addition, more than 20 ships of treasure, money and grain were also seized, and a recruit of our brigade stabbed to death the county order and the county Cheng with his own hands, please reward the marshal!" ”

When Mo Qian heard this, he suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked, "Oh? Which strong man is so brave, he has just joined the righteous army and can kill the county official, I must meet it in person! ”

Niu Ji turned around with a smile and shouted, "Gong Chengkang, the handsome man called you!" ”

Gong Chengkang is still carrying two heads in his hands, which he personally chopped off on the body of Fengcheng County Linghe County, and he even put on the official hat, which is a proof of his military merits.

Gong Chengkang came to the dock with two heads, and as soon as he saw Mo Qian wearing a suit of armor, he immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "The little one has seen the big handsome!" ”

Mo Qian glanced at the two bloody human heads in Gong Chengkang's hands, and was already surprised by these things in his heart, there were too many wars, and too many dead people, this kind of thing Mo Qian was basically immune.

Mo Qian stretched out his hand to help him up and said: "The army is not happy to bow down, just make a salute, General Niu said, you just joined the righteous army?" ”

"Yes, the little rebel who joined the day before yesterday!"

"Oh? It's only been two days since I joined the army, and I have made such a great contribution, and I should be rewarded! ”

The crowd chimed in, saying that it was indeed a reward.

Mo Qian said: "According to the military regulations of our army, beheading two people can be promoted to one level, but what you beheaded is not an ordinary soldier, it is the seven-grade county order of the imperial court, in this way, I will authorize you to be promoted to two levels, and you will be appointed as a chief first, I hope you can get military merits again in the future!" ”

Gong Chengkang never dreamed that he just stabbed two rookies to death with a spear, and he was directly promoted to two levels, and he only joined the righteous army for two days!

Gong Chengkang excitedly knelt down and shouted, "Xie Dashuai!" ”

"I said that the army is not happy to bow down, but remember it in the future!" Mo Qian stretched out his hand to help him up.

"Dashuai, the king of Fengcheng is really rich, last night we attacked his palace, and the rare treasure gold and silver found two large ships, Dashuai, do you want to take a look?"

Mo Qian waved his hand and said, "Don't look at it, send these two ships of gold and silver treasures and those twenty boats of grain to the logistics baggage team and hand them over to Cheng Zhidun for disposal!" ”

"Yes!"

Mo Qian stood at the dock for a while, and then sent it back to Qingjiang, looking at Mo Qian's distant boat, Niu Ji's heart was pounding, he always felt that his heart was not steady.

He called Wu Peng, the captain of the pro-soldiers, and asked him, "You made sure that our affairs were not discovered last night?" ”

Wu Peng said categorically: "Don't worry, General, I took advantage of the darkness last night to transport it, and at that time, the rebels in the city all went to transport grain, and no one knew!" ”

Niu Ji patted his chest and muttered to himself: "If people don't know, unless you don't do it, I always feel that the handsome look at me just now is weird!" ”
