Chapter 934: The Treasury Under Yangzhou City

Immortal cultivator of the god and demon system

"Dig, dig down from here!" Hou Yu stepped out of a large room and came to the open outer courtyard, although the blood stains on the ground added a bit of blood to this quiet courtyard, but Hou Yu was lying on the ground, his ears were against the ground, without two breaths, Hou Yu jumped up, and then said loudly to a group of soldiers.

"Why are you still stunned, from here, dig seven feet into the ground for me!" The team was overjoyed when they heard Hou Yu's order, and hurriedly ordered loudly to their subordinates, and then saw dozens of soldiers outside the courtyard gate wearing armor and replacing hoes, sledgehammers and other tools in their hands, swarming to occupy the courtyard.

The hammer smashed the shovel and wedged it into the gap in the bluestone, and then several soldiers moved the shovel and pried the bluestone open, and successively removed seven or eight large bluestone slabs nearby, revealing the river sand on the ground, and the soldiers with the shovel rushed forward to dig up this layer of river sand and the soil on the surface, until the shovel could not be dug up, and then replaced the shovel and went into battle.

There was a crackling toss, and a good yard was dug a big hole, but fortunately, it didn't take long, and suddenly there was a sound of gold and stone resonance under his feet, and Hou Yu, who was drinking tea and waiting on the side, suddenly sat up and said, "It's here!"

The team was hurriedly following Hou Yu and the two to the entrance of the cave, only to see that after the ground was dug up about two meters, a square long stone appeared under the soil layer, and a group of soldiers went down the hole and worked hard, and finally found the edge of the stone, and after some tossing, the stone was pulled up, and a tunnel was exposed.

"Go to the cave first, and get ready for the shield battle!"

Obviously, this cadre has already done it, but it is orderly to get busy, the two wind system earth spirit masters stepped forward directly, without saying a word, they used their own special spiritual skills, and the swishing wind poured into the tunnel from above the tunnel, mainly to prevent people from dying in the tunnel and making the air in the tunnel rotten.

After a gust of wind, several heavily armed shield fighters jumped out of the tunnel, and the huge shields in front of them were enough to deal with most emergencies in the narrow tunnel, and their main needs to guard against the walking corpses were not the walking corpses, but the rats dyed with death and the possible traps in the tunnel.

This tunnel is just a passage to the family's underground palace, which is very common among the wealthy and wealthy, just like the cellars of ordinary people, and the underground palace is mainly used to store the family's belongings, and there are wine cellars, ice cellars and even granaries, and they are used to hide in times of disaster and disaster.

Since the ground clearance in Yangzhou, Yue Fei has not only asked most of the soldiers and horses to assemble and restore the surrounding towns, and move eastward, but the remaining soldiers and horses stationed in Yangzhou have one more task, which is to dig up people's wealth everywhere.

Yangzhou City is a thousand-year-old city, gathered Yangzhou three percent of the wealthy nobles, even ordinary people have some surplus money to accumulate, although a plague, a riot, so that Yangzhou City has become a dead city, many homes have been looted, and even burned down, but Yangzhou City is an inch of land, so most of the silver vaults are built underground.

One is safe, the other is large enough, it can be said that under Yangzhou City, there is a huge underground palace, although this underground palace is not connected, and most of the wealth in Yangzhou City is hidden under this ground, after all, the plague is urgent, although many wealthy families escaped from Yangzhou, and a lot of property is involved, but most of the property is impossible to take away.

More than a dozen shield battles disappeared into the tunnel for a quarter of an hour, and then a soldier retreated to the entrance and said to it: "My lord, the silver vault in the underground palace has been discovered, and there is no one hiding in the underground palace, but a nest of rats has been found, and they have all been killed!"

"Deputy Zheng, you are a graduate of the academy, you are good at writing and painting, and the statistics of your property will depend on you, you go down, carry all the property in the cellar, don't let go of a little, and you all know the discipline in the army, don't cut off your future for a little money, I don't want this knife to cut on my own neck!"

"Zhang Tou, you're busy here, I have to go to the next one!"

"Captain Hou Ying, go slowly!"

Hou Yu waved his hand and walked towards the next house, Hou Yu is the captain of the scout battalion in the army, and he is directly under the division, according to the status of the scout battalion, he is added half a level in the army, and he can be a deputy brigade commander, most of the scout battalions are composed of strong people, just like Hou Yu, who has the strength of the middle level of the earth spirit.

He is an earth-based earth spirit, and he has learned a set of earth hearing skills, as long as his ears are close to the ground, he can hear the situation on the ground under his feet clearly, and even a mouse or insect can't escape.

Hou Yu can be said to have no leisure for a moment these days, one family by one, after all, the entrance to the underground palace of these wealthy families is very hidden, and there are organs, and it is difficult for people who do not know them to enter from the entrance, so they can only take this method of digging three feet into the ground, find the tunnel, and then enter the underground palace.

Not to mention that Hou Yu ran to the next household, only in this yard, there was not much work, there was already a large box was hung up by ropes, five feet long, three feet wide, four feet high The big box was extremely heavy, and it actually had to be carried by four warriors, when the box fell to the ground and fell to the lock on the box, the lid of the box was pushed open, and suddenly a burst of golden light flashed.

All are ruler-long gold bricks, ten catties of a piece, the yard is neat, ten horizontal, three vertical, one layer of thirty pieces, and look at the height, there are at least twenty layers, this big box, gold bricks alone, there are six thousand catties, plus the box is made of iron and wood, the weight is not light, this box is not less than eight thousand catties, it is no wonder that the samurai with great strength have to be four and carry the snoring with gasp.

This box of gold, if you create gold coins, enough to make 100,000 gold coins out, and one after another from the underground palace silver vault, brought up this kind of large box ten, four gold and six silver, all cast into the shape of bricks, and pearls, agate, jade, jewelry, necklaces and other five boxes, and other coral screens, jade pillows and other precious things are also a lot.

Only this one family harvested, the real money and silver are no less than 460,000 gold coins, and the others are worth a million, but it is a pity that the family's shop deeds, gold and silver tickets and other easy-to-carry belongings have been taken away, otherwise only this one family can collect millions of gold.

And this is not the richest family in Yangzhou City, at most it is a second-rate, it can be imagined how much wealth has gathered in this huge Yangzhou City, this will be a number that Leng Zhuo can't even think of.

After these belongings were dug up, they were immediately transported to the big ship at the west wharf of Yangzhou with the account books, protected by heavy troops, and went upriver along the Songjiang River, transshipment Xiqian Lake, Jinhe waterway, and weeping blood fort, and temporarily stored in the underground vault of weeping blood fort, and then do other calculations.

No one knows how much wealth was looted from Yangzhou, but only the property carried out from Yangzhou was enough to be transferred for half a year, and at most in a day, no less than 30 cargo ships were used to carry them with full loads.

And this big harvest is not only limited to Yangzhou City, but also in the entire Yangzhou occupation area, and such scenes are being staged everywhere.

While busy working in various places, Leng Zhuo had arrived in Suzhou City, and personally met Li Changqing and gave a promise, and after Li Changqing got Leng Zhuo's personal promise, he did not delay at all and returned to Lijiabao overnight.

"Do you know how many mobs are besieging Lijiabao and how many mobs are there in Linshui County? How many soldiers and horses can be mobilized by your unit to relieve the siege. After Li Changqing left, Leng Zhuo asked directly at Zhou Yu.

Although Zhou Yu is the commander of the Great Chu Qinglong Legion, with more than 200,000 soldiers and horses under his command, in Suzhou Mansion, the soldiers and horses in his hands are only 1340,000, and the other three divisions are stationed in the two counties in the west of Yangzhou Prefecture, Songjiang and Jinfeng Prefectures, and Suzhou Mansion is Taicang to the west, Ningbo to the south, and Hangzhou Mansion to the southeast.

"Back to Your Highness, there are no less than 100,000 mobs in Lijiabao, if you count the mobs in Linshui County, there are more than 300,000, but most of them are people who have been clamoured, and they have to loot everywhere for their livelihood, and they have gradually become mobs!"

"My Qinglong Legion has six major army divisions, two land and water divisions, and the land and water divisions are stationed in Jinghu Lake and adjacent waters, forming a defense line against Ningbo Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion, and internally, after these months of cleanup, the place has been leveled, and there should be no chaos in the transfer of some soldiers and horses, I think it should not be a problem to transfer forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses!"

"And as long as we can relieve the siege of Lijiabao, tens of thousands of qualified soldiers will be able to join in Lijiabao immediately, and it is not a problem to transfer 10,000 young and strong people, so the problem of troops should not be big!"

"After taking Lijiabao, we can let the Li family send people to contact the surrounding landlords who are almost unable to defend, as long as someone is willing to give in, we will go to the rescue, in this way, we don't actually need many soldiers and horses, we can lift the chaos in Taicang and quell the tide of the mob!"

"Oh, relying on these landlords' soldiers, only two or three are okay, if the counter-forces are connected in series, the strength is better than ours, when the time comes?" Leng Zhuo was also a little worried, although it seemed that he could get the Taicang Mansion without drawing many soldiers and horses, but who knows if these Taicang landlords were really surrendering, in case the crisis was solved, it would be very bad.

"This problem minister has also thought about, we can start to arrange for their families to transfer after the siege, and send them to Jinfeng Mansion or Songjiang Mansion by big boat, so that there are hostages in hand, if these landlord families want to rebel, they must also weigh it, and the logistics of this army can also be pinched in their hands, so that even if they want to rebel, there is no food and grass!"

"Well, that's it!" Leng Zhuo nodded and said.

In October of the second year of the establishment of the Great Chu Dynasty, Zhou Yu, who was located in Suzhou, commanded nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses to leave Suxi City, stepped into the territory of Taicang Prefecture, fought three battles in one day, captured several towns in Taicang, captured thousands of mobs, killed more than 1,000, and pointed to Lijiabao in Linshui County.

At this moment, all the buildings on the ground of Lijiabao have fallen, and the mob occupying Lijiabao began to dig three feet into the ground, digging the underground palace of the Li family under the ground, and hearing that the Chu army was coming, the leader of the mob sent 30,000 people to gather on the bank of the river to block Zhou Yu's headquarters on the riverbank.

However, for Taicang Mansion, Zhou Yu has long been familiar with it, and he knows all kinds of arrangements, so when he stepped into Taicang Mansion, Zhou Yu had fully prepared.

Zhou Yu's army did not rush across the river and set up camp on the spot, while the baggage battalion that followed the army began to get busy, and the craftsmen in the army unloaded countless wooden parts from the carts and hurriedly assembled them overnight.

In one night, hundreds of catapults appeared in Zhou Yu's army, lined the riverbank, and aimed at the mob camp across the river.
