Chapter 215 I will go
But Hu Changhai remained silent after listening to Yu Liangtai's words. On the one hand, he envied Gao Chengyou and his eldest nephew Hu Dabao in his heart, but on the other hand, he was scratching the beard on his chin, thinking rapidly about such and such things.
Gains and losses.
There is not a lot of stuff in Xu Guanbao. Since yesterday, he has been working hard to load ships for transshipment. Even last night, people stopped the ships and ran several batches of ships towards Tu'er Island. By noon that day,
The grain, grass, materials, people and livestock seized in Xuguan Fort have been almost transported.
If all these things belong to him, Hu Changhai, then he doesn't have to envy anyone anymore [Biquge www.biquger.vip]. If all these things are now transferred back to Changxing Island in the future, it will be enough for him to feel comfortable.
I have lived a good life comfortably for the past year.
It's a pity that not all of these things belong to him. It can even be said that most of them are not his. When he thinks of this, he feels unhappy.
According to the score of 40 to 60, a total of four pirate teams shared 40% of the capture. Even if he had many men and horses, he only accounted for 10% of them!
Although Hu Dabao is a small person, he still has to be counted. No matter what, he is also his own nephew, so how can he not be counted?!
As for Gao Chengyou and Yu Liangtai, no matter how much wealth they make in Xiongyue City, they have to give up their share in Xu Guanbao, right?!
Thinking of this, his heart ached. Even if he could not get his share of the grain, grass, weapons and other materials seized in Xiongyue City, it would not make up for the loss in his heart.
He actually had the intention to withdraw his troops and go back as soon as he saw fit, and leave with a pat on the back. But as the boss, he has to keep his words. If he doesn't keep his words, will he be able to lead the team again?!
Although Xu Guanbao has a lot of wealth and food, it is not worth what he does. If he does this, his reputation will be ruined, and he will not be able to survive in the world in the future.
Moreover, in the face of Yang Zhen's group, he does not dare to speak now. Although Yang Zhen is easy to talk, he is definitely not a good person!
"Sandi Yu Yu! Who doesn't want to take the benefits you mentioned? My brother wants it too! But have you ever thought that Gaizhou can be easily conquered?! What if we can't conquer it?!
"Who doesn't know the benefits of defeating someone?! But no matter how many benefits there are, if Yang can't be defeated, isn't it all just empty talk?!"
When Yu Liangtai heard what Hu Changhai said, he immediately stopped talking. The two of them fell silent and everyone became quiet.
After a while, Hu Changhai rubbed his face, sighed, and asked: "What do Gao Chengyou and my nephew think? They also agree to go to Gaizhou?!"
"Yes! They are all going! To be honest with you, brother, I will also go with my troops!"
When Yu Liangtai saw Hu Changhai's question, he immediately explained the attitudes of himself, Gao Chengyou, and Hu Dabao, and finally said: "General Yang rescued a group of Manchu Tatars newly kidnapped from Guanli in Xiongyue City.
There were about six to seven hundred people in Qingzhuang Dingkou, who were all organized into a sentry team. They were given swords, shields and spears, and told them to go together to capture Gaizhou!"
"Oh - really?! So, how many people does Yang Zhen have in total right now?!"
When Hu Changhai heard Yu Liangtai's answer, he was startled at first, and then immediately asked. He wanted to know how many people Yang Zhen had under his command now.
He wanted to use this to further judge the chances of success in going to Gaizhou.
Yu Liangtai didn't know what he meant, so he quickly thought about it in his mind and quickly replied: "According to what I know, if you include all the people from the naval camp of Yuan Jin, plus the second brother Gao, Dabaoxian
The nephew and younger brother’s subordinates, there should be 1,800 people under Yang Zhen’s command now!”
"Ah - ah! This man and horse are still a little short! If we go to attack Gaizhou City with such a small number of men and horses, how good is the chance of winning?! If we take these men and horses to attack Fuzhou City, I think the chance of winning will be very high.
It’s bigger than Gaizhou!”
Yu Liangtai saw that Hu Changhai had been undecided after weighing all the considerations, and he gradually became a little angry: "Brother! How can anything be foolproof?! If there is no risk, how can Yang Zhen respect us?! You have worked so hard!
Why should we divide the things we worked hard for 40-60?
"Brother, you are also a veteran. Look at Yang Zhen, Zhang Chen, Lu Pinqi, and even that Yuan Jin. Which one is easy to get along with?! If we just sit on the sidelines and watch the fire and refuse to contribute, what will happen to Yang Zhen and the others?
How can we continue to fulfill our previous promises?!"
After saying these words, Yu Liangtai took a deep breath, and then continued to say to Hu Changhai: "In the past, our brothers have been planning to go ashore to rob Xuguan Fort and Xiongyue City, but every time it was not because of our calculations.
After all, in the end, I didn’t dare to take action because I wasn’t completely sure?!
"But brother, if you look at it now, how many men and horses under Yang Zhen's command dare to cross the Liaohai Sea to attack Xiongyue City, which we dare not attack! Moreover, they really won it without any effort!
"
At this point, Yu Liangtai saw Hu Changhai's gloomy face and was already unhappy, but he didn't care now.
If before the arrival of Yang Zhen and his gang, Yu Liangtai and his old men had no choice but to live on Changxing Island and live under Hu Changhai, he must look at Hu Changhai's face.
But after Yang Zhen came, he no longer had to do that. He had new choices, especially Hu Changhai's performance today, which strengthened his determination to leave.
In his view, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is not a bad thing. However, if one blindly cares about gains and losses, or even worries about gains and losses, then he is definitely not a person who can achieve great things.
He looked into Hu Changhai's eyes and continued: "When the time comes, the first people to approach the city gate, dressed as Manchu Tatars with white flags, will not be us, but the Songshan officers and soldiers brought by Yang Zhen!
"If they deceive the garrison and succeed in seizing the door, we can swarm in afterwards! If they fail to seize the door, we will catch them, turn around and leave, then board the ship and go to sea! At that time, the Tatars in Gaizhou City will
No matter how powerful I am, what can you do to me, brother?!"
When Yu Liangtai said this, his tone and expression were already very urgent, and he lost the respect he had for Hu Changhai in the past both inside and outside his words.
These words were very unpleasant to hear in Hu Changhai's ears, but when Yu Liangtai's expression and attitude fell into Hu Changhai's eyes, it was even more extraordinary!
"I'm talking about third brother, Brother Yu! Don't be impatient! My brother didn't say not to go either!"
Although Gao Chengyou and Yu Liangtai both respected Hu Changhai as the leader, they each had their own people. Hu Changhai became the eldest brother because he had a higher official position than Gao Chengyou when he was in the army, and at the same time, he died earlier than Yu Liangtai.
.
Of course, it's also because he has so many people under his command.
However, after Hu Dabao left Tu'er Island to establish a new branch, he drew away a group of people who originally followed Hu Changhai, which has weakened his power and status.
Now looking at Yu Liangtai like this, Hu Changhai was secretly worried. If he didn't send troops this time, he would call Gao Chengyou, Yu Liangtai and Hu Dabao followed Yang Zhen to break Gaizhou City, while he was watching.
Then the situation is not good for me.
Once he loses his prestige and the support of Gao Chengyou and Yu Liangtai, even though Fuzhou Bay is big, he will probably lose his position in the blink of an eye!
Thinking of this possible terrible scenario, Hu Changhai immediately said to Yu Liangtai: "Brother has figured it out and made up his mind. I'm going! I decided to go with you!"
After Hu Changhai said this, he patted Yu Liangtai on the shoulder and said: "Brother, you are right! The life we originally lived was a life of licking blood from the knife edge! How can we stop eating just because we are afraid of choking to death?! How can we stop eating?
How can you stop drinking water because you’re afraid of choking?! How can you stop getting on the boat because you’re afraid of drowning?! Then Gaizhou City is like a dragon’s den and a tiger’s den, and I’m going to take you to try it out!”
After making up his mind, Hu Changhai regained his heroic character in an instant. He inquired about the plans of Xiong Yuecheng's men and immediately asked his confidants to make arrangements one by one.
Although Xu Guanbao is good, it is not a place where people like them can live permanently.
The same is true for Xiongyue City. Apart from robbery and destruction, they cannot occupy it for a long time because the Manchu Tatars will come back soon.
In the afternoon of that day, Hu Changhai and Yu Liangtai led their troops to transport away the last batch of grain, grass and weapons, and then mobilized all their men, just like Gao Chengyou and Hu Dabao did in Xiongyue City, they emptied every household in Xu Guanbao.
Useful possessions.
When the sun went down, the large group of people packed up their belongings and boarded the ship. Before leaving, they set off a huge fire and burned the huge Xuguan Fort to a white ground.
