At this time, he reacted, and immediately shouted like a pig: "Hurry up, quickly ask Zhang Zhutou to close the city gate, and then let the green battalion soldiers go up to the city wall, and then ask the big families in the city to send people and food, and send family members to help defend the city." ”

It's just that at this time, I remembered to close the city gate, and it was already a little late.

When Zhang Zhutou led dozens of officials to rush to the vicinity of the city gate, wanting to close the city gate, he killed fifty or sixty men and horses from the establishment, and shot down these officials in a burst of shooting, and the rest saw that the situation was not good, and they all fled.

These people have very good weapons, they have advanced weapons such as rifles, revolvers, and air guns, as well as grenades and other things, and they are well-trained, and there are even several advanced martial artists, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

After occupying the city gate, these people controlled the commanding heights near the city gate, but whenever there were people such as the green battalion soldiers and the government servants, they would shoot in a burst, and all of them had good marksmanship.

According to the regulations of the Qing Dynasty, there are 300 green battalion soldiers in Dongguan County, and if there are bandits attacking the city in normal times, they can also encourage the big families in the city to send about 500 families to help defend the city, which is the limit of the strength in the city.

It's just that now that there is no time to gather Ding Zhuang in the city, the number of green battalion soldiers themselves is not large, and the weapons are very backward, even if they are all used to deal with these fifty or sixty infiltrators, it is also very difficult, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of troops behind them as backing.

The chaos at the city gate lasted less than half an hour, and the green battalion soldiers in the city gave up the attack and found a place to hide, and the large army of the Huaxia Army outside the city finally arrived after a rapid march, entered the city, took over the defense, and controlled the entire county seat.

Dongguan is more or less a famous county in Guangdong, but under the attack of the Huaxia Army, there is almost no resistance at all, and the entire county changed hands in less than two hours.

"Qian Jin, the head of the Dongguan Station of the Ministry of Intelligence, has seen the handsome. "The leader of the fifty or sixty people who had been in turmoil in the city, a tall and strong man, was brought to Li Xian and immediately saluted.

Li Xian nodded, and also returned the military salute and asked: "Dongguan Station did a good job this time, taking the city gate and making great contributions, I don't know how the casualties were?"

"Thank you for your concern. In this battle, the intelligence department worked hard to cooperate with the special combat team, but the casualties were very few, only five personnel were injured, and all of them were slightly injured, so there would be no major problems. Hearing Li Xian's praise, Qian Jin couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he still reported according to the rules.

"Very well, and we must not forget the reward for these wounded soldiers afterwards.

Dongguan Station has done a good job this time, I will give you a collective third-class merit, and each person will be awarded ten taels of silver. Li Xian said.

"Thank you. Qian Jinli replied.

It turned out that since the occupation of Guangzhou, the Huaxia Army has ostensibly stayed in the territory of Guangzhou Prefecture and has never stopped its external infiltration and reconnaissance.

The intelligence department of the Mixed Yuan Sect was established by Qian Dafu, the second elder of the Mixed Yuan Sect, and this Qian Jin himself was related to Qian Dafu, and later was recruited by Qian Dafu to take more care of the Ministry of Intelligence, and he was also motivated, and gradually became the backbone of the Ministry of Intelligence.

After the occupation of Guangzhou, the army did not move, but the personnel of the Intelligence Department infiltrated the counties around Guangzhou in various identities to inquire about the news and develop the offline line, but it was a matter of course, and this Qian Jin was the stationmaster of Dongguan Station.

This attack on Dongguan, Li Xian did not want to have any regular war in this projectile land, and sent dozens of special combat teams with strong martial arts in advance, and ambushed them in the city in advance under the response of Qian Jin, and when the army arrived, he immediately attacked and controlled the city gate so that the army could enter the city.

In fact, there are only more than 300 green battalion soldiers in the county seat, and there is a great shortage of firearms, most of them only have cold weapons such as broadswords and spears, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit.

Li Xian counted the seized materials and found that the grain in the official treasury of Dongguan County reached about 20,000 quintals, a large part of which was originally to be sent to Guangzhou.

In addition, confiscating the property of officials at all levels, such as the magistrate and the county officer, as well as the officials of the third class, can also have a harvest of 50,000 or 60,000 taels.

The Huaxia Army's policy towards the occupied territories was to confiscate all the materials in the official treasury, and naturally all the property of Qing court officials such as the magistrate and the county magistrate, and the property of the officials such as the government officials as appropriate, and the property of the rest of the ordinary gentry and merchants was not touched.

According to the official system of the Qing court, the magistrates and other officials were all from other places, and their influence in the local area was relatively small, and there would not be much sequelae in the direct confiscation of property; on the contrary, the officials of the third class were all locals, and although they were rich, they had a very wide network in the local area, so the Huaxia Army dismissed most of them from their posts, but directly confiscated their property relatively little, and this was the practice in Guangzhou.

It's just that now that there is a shortage of all kinds of materials in Guangzhou, Li Xian has been ruthless and has expanded the scope of the attack, and all the officials who have put on their names have confiscated all their property, but they just don't hurt people's lives.

"That's just a little bit of gain, a little less. "The price of grain in Guangzhou has recently exceeded the warning line of three taels per quintal, and the total value of the seized materials and gold and silver this time exceeds 100,000 taels, but Li Xianwu feels a little dissatisfied.

"In the warehouses in Baijiazhuang and Fengnan, there are still two or three hundred thousand quintals of grain, which can be requisitioned. Seeing that Li Xian disliked the harvest too little, Qian Jin volunteered to provide important information.

It turned out that since Wang Jiuxuan decided to pay money to lower the price of grain in Guangzhou, some unscrupulous businessmen in Guangzhou have been hoarding grain and want to make a bet with Wang Jiuxuan.

It's just that these businessmen also know that this kind of hoarding of grain is very hated, and one day if Wang Jiuxuan is really provoked, tear his face and confiscate all these grains, and then dispose of some overly active businessmen in the name of speculation, it will not be good, after all, the Qing Dynasty has been doing this for hundreds of years.

Therefore, these merchants came up with the idea that the hoarded grain was not left in the territory of Guangzhou, but in Dongguan and other unoccupied county towns, so that they could avoid the wrath of the Huaxia army.

For example, the Baijiazhuang and Fengnan areas in Dongguan attracted the attention of these merchants, who built warehouses there and hoarded large quantities of grain, many of which were attached to the names of government officials under various names to obtain shelter.

"Very well, those who are in the name of the government are all considered enemy property and all are confiscated.

Even if it is in the name of an ordinary gentry, it must be confiscated first, and some appropriate compensation will be given later. Li Xian nodded and said after knowing the situation.

After the Huaxia army occupied Guangzhou, it rarely infringed on private property of the people, but that was only because the seized official materials were rich enough, and they did not want to eat too ugly and cause a backlash from the people.

When I arrived in Dongguan, I didn't have so many worries, anyway, it was the materials in the enemy-occupied area, and it was in vain to rob them.
