In the depths of the bay was a simple house without windows, with only one wooden door to enter and exit, which was now guarded by two dun soldiers.

Liu Yan entered the house accompanied by Chen Xun, Wang Bo, Xu Ming, and Miao Shao, and saw that there were more than 20 large wooden boxes inside, and Chen Xun opened a large wooden box casually, which was full of silver flowers, silver ingots, silver bars, silver beads and other various systems, and there were a lot of gold mixed with it during the period, shining under the sunlight at the door.

Several people's eyes were a little straight, although now Dapanbao has entered the "well-off" level, but seeing so many treasures at one time, everyone is also the first time to encounter it.

In addition, around the two dozen large wooden boxes, there were a lot of scattered silver, as well as some jewels and gold ingots.

Liu Yan was also a little short of breath, which was considered a windfall, and at the same time, Liu Yan also realized that he seemed to have found a new way to make money: suppressing bandits to make money!

Of course, this is also a later story, after all, the suppression of bandits is also accompanied by a lot of risks, and there are too many things involved, so it is still necessary to be cautious.

Liu Yan did not hesitate, and said directly to Chen Xun: "Immediately find a hidden place, hide the ten wooden boxes here, and then find a few more reliable dun soldiers to come in and count the amount of money left here." ”

Several people were in good spirits when they heard this, and then Chen Xun excitedly hugged his fists and took his life, and hurriedly went to find someone.

At this time, Miao Shao pointed outside and said in a low voice: "Chief A, what about that Shen Tuo?" ”

When Miao Shao reported the situation to Liu Yanyu, Shen Tuo must have heard it, a few steps away is not far for an elite night Bushu, and it is not difficult to hear what is going on.

When Liu Yan brought everyone over to count, Shen Tuo found an excuse to avoid it very interestingly, and borrowed it for two nights without receiving it while patrolling. This made Liu Yan a little surprised, and then he was impressed by this Shen Tuo, this kid has eyesight and is a character.

At this time, Miao Shao asked, Liu Yan thought for a while, and then said: "Ignore him first, and after this matter is over, I will find an opportunity to invite Shen Tuo to have a drink." ”

Miao Shao said worriedly: "That Shen Tuo is a subordinate found by the master of the management team, and his subordinates are worried that he will tell the master of the management team." ”

Liu Yan said with a smile: "In my opinion, Shen Tuo is not such a person, if he had the intention to tell the truth, he would definitely come over to find out, and report it to the management team in detail, but he didn't do it." ”

Miao Shao, Xu Ming, and Wang Bo were skeptical, but Liu Yan waved his hand, and after taking the three of them out, he left Wang Bo to guard here, and then called Shen Tuo, and together led the ten dun troops who did not close the team at night to the tidal flat path.

At this time, the battle of the tidal flat path has also ended, Liu Yan and the others walked for a short time and met the brigade led by Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu, all fifty Jiading were brought in, and the remaining more than 100 Wangjiazhuang soldiers, as well as the Dun troops of Huoludun and Tunbao were left outside, obviously Wang Weizhen is still not very new, only these fifty Jiading are the absolute henchmen of Wang Weizhen.

"My subordinates meet your lordship!"

Liu Yan led a group of subordinates to clasp their fists and salute, Wang Weizhen laughed and patted Liu Yan's shoulder, and said: "Liu Zongqi is good, he is really my lucky general, he is invincible, and he took this place so quickly!" ”

Jia Hongyu on the side also said with a smile: "Liu Zongqi is really the first fierce general of Wangjiazhuang, my lord is really blessed, with subordinates like Liu Zongqi, he will definitely rise step by step in the future!" ”

"Haha!"

Wang Weizhen laughed for a while, and Liu Yan hugged his fists again and said: "This battle to find the mountain pier and not collect Shen Tuo at night is also a great achievement, this battle can be a surprise attack, the first merit should be Shen Tuo's." ”

Wang Weizhen agreed, and then said to Shen Tuo with a smile: "After I go back, I will reward my merits, and Shen Tuo will definitely be a great achievement." ”

Shen Tuo naturally thanked him and didn't mention it, then he stood aside and stopped talking, Miao Shao and Xu Ming were also relieved when they saw this, and Liu Yan smiled and didn't say anything.

"Alright, let's go in and have a look."

After speaking, Wang Weizhen strode inside, Liu Yan, Jia Hongyu and others followed, Liu Yan said as he walked, and reported the things that were seized by the search, Wang Weizhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and his voice trembled and asked: "How much silver has been seized!" ”

Liu Yan said: "Lord Qiyu, the specific amount has not been counted yet, but the ten big wooden boxes on the scene are at least a few thousand taels of silver. ”

"Good, good, good!"

Wang Weizhen clapped his hands excitedly, and at the same time, the pace under his feet quickened a few points, and soon he came to the door of the house.

At this time, Wang Bo had already led people to move out ten large wooden boxes, and Chen Xun was also standing aside.

Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu have been attracted by ten big wooden boxes, the two of them have disregarded the image at this time, directly rushed to the front, one by one opened the boxes to check, when a large amount of silver was presented in front of the two of them, Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu immediately laughed loudly.

At the same time, Chen Shuo took the opportunity to walk to Liu Yan's side, and then nodded slightly, Liu Yan's heart was steady.

"Mr. Liu!"

Wang Weizhen remembered Liu Yanlai at this time, and after greeting him, he asked, "Count it immediately!" ”

Liu Yan received the order, and then called Wang Bo to him, and Wang Bo reported directly: "Lord Qiyu, my subordinates have just counted and seized a total of 5,477 taels of silver, 480 taels of gold, and a number of jewels and other items. ”

"Haha!"

Wang Weizhen's face flushed and laughed, and then he praised Liu Yan very much.

Wang Bo whispered something to Liu Yan again, Liu Yan smiled and clenched his fists and said: "My lord, my subordinates have already recovered the 1,000 catties of sea salt, and they have also found the arsenal of these sea robbers, and found some weapons, do you want to go over and take a look?" ”

Wang Weizhen waved his hand, what good military equipment can some Haikou have? If there were really elite soldiers, could they be taken down so easily?

So Wang Weizhen said with a smile: "Don't look at it, the 1,000 catties of sea salt were naturally brought back by Liu Zongqi, as for the seizure in the arsenal......"

Wang Weizhen pointed to the surrounding Dapanbao Dun Army and said: "I don't think the equipment of the Dapan Fort is not very complete, and all these captures will be allocated to Liu Zongqi." ”

Liu Yan thanked him with a smile.

At this time, Jia Hongyu quietly pushed Wang Weizhen, and said with a smile: "My lord, what about these seizures?" ”

Wang Weizhen glanced at Liu Yan, and then said: "I don't think it's as good as this, all the soldiers of the Dun Army who participated in this battle will be given a reward of five dollars of silver each." Liu Zongqi, Jia Zongqi and several small flag officials each gave two taels of rewards. All came out of these seizures. ”

Liu Yan and others thanked him.

Then Wang Weizhen continued: "Then for the rest of the seizure, I will take four thousand taels of silver, and the remaining more than one thousand taels will be given to Liu Zongqi, how about it?" ”

Immediately afterwards, Wang Weizhen was worried that Liu Yan was unwilling, and added: "This battle will naturally be reported to the Qianhu Office in front of Xiahezhai, and these seizures will also be distributed to those Shangguan of the Qianhu Office, so there is not much silver left in the final return to Wangjiazhuang." ”

Liu Yan is also a rich man now, with the salt drying field and soap workshop, now Liu Yan has saved more than 7,000 taels of silver, and he can't make Wang Weizhen unhappy for these silver.

So Liu Yan said with a smile: "It's all up to the adults!" ”

"Okay, haha, that's good."

Then Wang Weizhen ordered Jia Hongyu to take people to move all the silver out, and then prepare to transport it away.

"Hehe, then the aftermath here will be handed over to Liu Zongqi, I will lead the troops back to Wangjiazhuang first, and after I go back, I will write a war report to the Qianhu Office, and I will go to the Qianhu Office to do some work up and down, there are too many things."

Liu Yan also wished that Wang Weizhen would take the first step, so he hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates will receive orders, please rest assured, I will hand it over to my subordinates." ”

Wang Weizhen patted Liu Yan's shoulder with satisfaction, and said secretly in his heart: "This Liu Yan is really powerful, and he will definitely be promoted in the future." ”

In this battle, Liu Yan and Wang Weizhen both had a good idea that they did not leave a living mouth, and dozens of pirates were all killed, so there was no matter of escorting the prisoners.

Then Wang Weizhen was satisfied and led his troops back to Wangjiazhuang, and when he left, Liu Yan deliberately said goodbye to Shen Tuo: "It is a great honor to be able to fight side by side with Brother Shen today." He has time in the future, I must invite Brother Shen to Dapanbao, let's have a good time! ”

Shen Tuo himself was not good at words, but at this time, seeing Liu Yan's sincere invitation to him, he smiled and said, "Dare not obey your fate!" ”

After Wang Weizhen and the others left, Liu Yan began to take care of the aftermath here.

"Wang Xiaoqi, you lead your troops to guard the tidal flat path and prevent anyone from approaching here."

"Yes!"

"Miao Xiaoqi, Xu Xiaoqi, you lead the scout team to return to Dapanbao immediately and organize ox carts to come over to transport the seizures. Remember, wait until midnight to come back and stay hidden on the road so that outsiders don't find out. ”

Miao Shao and Xu Ming hugged their fists to lead the order.

Later, Liu Yan ordered Chen Xun's Dunjun to sort out the ten wooden boxes that had been hidden and prepare to transport them back in the middle of the night.

"Let's go, let's take a look at the arsenal of these pirates."

Liu Yan, accompanied by Chen Xun, came to another room, after the two entered, they saw some waist knives and spears scattered all over the place, Liu Yan looked around, these blades are not very well maintained, and many of them have rusted. As for long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, there are none.

Suddenly, Liu Yan's gaze was attracted by something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

It was a bird gun, and there was no long fire rope, but it was a flintlock bird gun!

Liu Yan was excited in his heart, and quickly stepped forward to take the flintlock bird in his hand and observed it carefully.

The workmanship of this flintlock bird gun is quite passable, although it is not as good as the bird gun produced by Dapanbao, but compared with the equipment of the Ming army at this time, it is already considered to be at the middle and upper level.

"After I go back, show it to Tan Xiaoda, with this bird gun, Tan Xiaoda should be able to imitate the flintlock bird gun, right?"

Liu Yan laughed, and Chen Xun on the side also smiled and said, "Captain A is really strange!" In the ten wooden boxes we hid, there were more than 5,100 taels of silver, plus more than 1,000 taels of silver left by the master of the management team, and we received more than 6,000 taels of silver in this battle. Captain A didn't laugh out loud when he saw so much silver, and he saw this bird gun laughing so loudly? ”

Liu Yan said: "Of course, this is not an ordinary bird, you see......"

Chen Xun noticed something at this time, and said in surprise: "This bird gun doesn't have a fire rope, this is a flintlock bird gun!" ”

"Exactly, now you know why I'm happy, right?"

Liu Yan said: "In this battle, in order to prevent the fire rope of the bird gun from being wet by the seawater, we deliberately wrapped it in oil paper, even so, there is still a bird gun dumb fire." In the future, it is inevitable to encounter wind, frost, rain and snow on the battlefield, do we have to prepare oil paper in advance every time? With the flintlock bird gun there are no such problems, and this is the benefit of the flintlock bird gun! ”

Chen Xun knew that Liu Yan was obsessed with firearms, so why wasn't he like this?

So Chen Xun also smiled and said: "In this way, the value of this flintlock bird is really higher than these silver. ”
