Chapter 1138 The harvest is not small

Easily captured Dongshan Village and captured two bandit leaders, Gan Qiang and Pu Xueguang, who were on the Haihan wanted list. Gao Qiaonan's mission for this trip was mostly completed. Gao Qiaonan led people to count the supplies in the village, and asked

He quickly went to the kitchen to get some hot food. From yesterday to now, he and his subordinates had been busy all day and couldn't even take a sip of hot water. They also slept in the wild all night. Even an iron man was really tired.

.

Dongshan Village was the base camp and command center of the Wanjia Army during this period, and some materials were stored here, mainly grain, grass and weapons. Gao Qiaonan took stock of the warehouses in the village and found that there were still

There are nearly ten thousand kilograms of grain in stock, and the number of swords, guns, bows and arrows can probably arm three to five hundred people. However, most of the grain is on the verge of mildew, and the weapons, in Gao Qiaonan's opinion, are just a pile of scrap copper that can only be recycled to make farm tools.

It's just rotten iron, and its value isn't very high.

After the soldiers rummaged through the boxes, they found two more boxes of gold and silver in Pu Xueguang's residence, but the total value was only two to three thousand taels of silver. This was still quite different from the information Gao Qiaonan had. Wan Jiajun was there.

Dengzhou has been domineering for several years, especially in Fushan County, where the infiltration is the most severe. Three feet of land was taken away by Wan's army, and even the county government was so squeezed that it was about to close down.

The amount of cash accumulated by the family army through various robberies is at least five figures. According to Wanmeng's explanation, Pu Xueguang has always been responsible for taking care of Wanjiajun's accounts. After Wanmeng was arrested, Wanjiajun's

Naturally, all this money fell into Pu Xueguang's hands.

Gan Qiang's previous confession also confirmed this. After Wanmeng's accident, he partnered with Pu Xueguang to clean up the mess and prepare to reorganize the Wanjia Army. Gan Qiang was in charge of military command, while Pu Xueguang was in charge of logistics and economy, and the accounts and money were all in the latter's hands.

He is in control. Takahashi Nan knows that there is such an ill-gotten fortune, so he will not let it go easily. This is one of the reasons why he is eager to arrest Pu Xueguang, so as not to cause trouble and let this guy get wind of it.

Then the money was transferred to other places.

Gao Qiaonan led his people to roughly search through the cottage, but found no other gains. He immediately interrogated Pu Xueguang and asked him to reveal the place where he hid the money.

However, this Pu Xueguang could be regarded as a military advisor by Wan Meng. Although he was not a very smart person, he still had some small thoughts. How could he be willing to confess like this? He said with a grimace: "This general, Wan Jiajun was in Fushan last time."

After the rout outside the county town, many people heard the news and fled from various fortresses with their money. There was not much gold and silver left, and now there are only two boxes of gold and silver in the villain's bedroom."

Earlier, the Haihan Army captured the bandit leader Wan Meng in Fushan County. From his mouth, the general family background of the Wanjiajun was learned. Although the Wanjiajun fell apart after the defeat, there may be some people who took part of the money and found another way out, but the remaining

It's definitely not just this little family fortune.

Gao Qiaonan didn't believe Pu Xueguang's words, and immediately reminded him: "You can choose not to cooperate with us, but I believe you will not be the only one to know where the money is hidden. As long as we catch one of these bandits,

After a trial, there will always be someone willing to cooperate with us. When the time comes when you have no value to us, you should think clearly about what will happen to you!"

Pu Xueguang felt that there was something in Gao Qiaonan's words, so he cautiously asked, "How much is this villain worth? Is there any chance of regaining his freedom?"

"That depends on your cooperation!" Takahashi Minami responded: "It's very simple, the more benefits we get, the smaller your sins. If you want to regain your freedom, it depends on how old you are.

It depends on your contribution! Don’t forget, Wanmeng was captured alive by us at the beginning, and we also know how much wealth Wanjiajun has!"

Pu Xueguang thought about it for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "If your army can grant the villain his freedom, the villain is willing to hand over all the money hidden by Wan Jiajun!"

"This condition is not bad, but how do you make me believe what you said?" Takahashi Minami asked.

Pu Xueguang responded: "The villain has a secret account book in his hand. The general only needs to compare the records on it and check the amount of money, and he will know that what the villain said is true."

"Secret account book? Then how do I know whether there is only one secret account book or there are several?" Takahashi Nan is not that easy to fool, and did not immediately accept Pu Xueguang's confession.

Pu Xueguang said: "How dare you deceive the general if your life is at stake? The general also said just now that Wan Meng has already given an approximate amount of money. The records in this account book should be accurate."

Gao Qiaonan heard that what he said was reasonable, so he asked him where the account books were hidden, and then sent someone to take out the account books from the place mentioned by Pu Xueguang.

The place where Pu Xueguang hid his account books was not a top-secret place. It was in a secret compartment on the floor of the bedroom. Just now, Takahashi Minami led people to search this place. After taking out the two boxes of gold and silver they found, there was no question about the other places in the bedroom.

No more careful inspection inch by inch.

In front of Pu Xueguang, Gao Qiaonan began to look through the account books. The entries recorded here were not the common incoming and outgoing accounts, but the year, month and day, where the gold and silver money was buried, and where the seal was. The amount of gold and silver.

They are all written in detail, but the recorded locations are very vague. They are all "Zaoyuan", "Tiger Spot Stone", "Shenxian Cave" and other similar place names. Obviously, only the person involved can know the exact burial place.

"You have quite a lot of tricks!" After looking through this account book, Gao Qiaonan gained a new understanding of Pu Xueguang. These bandits obviously have a certain sense of crisis and know how to disperse the money they robbed.

Bury it, so that even if someone knows one of the treasure hiding spots, they will not damage the foundation of Wanjiajun by doing something to it.

Pu Xueguang said quite proudly: "It's not a bragging. Even Wanmeng only knows the approximate amount of money, but not the specific locations of all the burial places. Even if the general can find other insiders, he only knows one or two of them at most."

It’s just a location, if you want to find all the treasures, you really have to have a villain lead the way.”

Takahashi Minami understood that his overtone was that he was negotiating terms with himself, and immediately said: "You lead us to find all the treasure points in this account book, extract the treasures, and verify the number, and I will give you your freedom. Everything in the past

Let bygones be bygones!"

Gao Qiaonan had already roughly checked the amount when he looked through the account books just now, and it was roughly consistent with the amount Wan Meng said. There would not be much discrepancy. When the accounting is consistent with the account book records, it can prove that Pu Xueguang's

It's true.

According to the records in the account books, the Wanjia Army bandit gang buried gold and silver treasures with a total value of more than 100,000 taels of silver in a total of 11 treasure sites. Two of them had been taken out by Pu Xueguang after the Wanjia Army defeated Fushan County.

, used to purchase food and other military supplies, as well as daily expenses. The remaining unused portion was the two boxes of gold and silver found by the Haihan Army in his bedroom. And the nine treasure spots that remained untouched were

There is also treasure worth at least eighty thousand taels of silver.

This money is also the basis for Pu Xueguang and Gan Qiang to continue to maintain the structure of the Wanjia Army and plan to recruit troops and make a comeback. As long as time passes, they have a chance to rebuild this bandit armed force with this money, whether it is renamed Pu Jiajun or Gan Jiajun in the future.

There will be a chance to turn around. But they never expected that Haihan would launch a pursuit so quickly and relentlessly. Not only did he post reward notices in various villages and towns, but he also set up a scheme to plot against Gan Qiang.

He chased him all the way to Dongshan Village and gave Pu Xueguang a fool's errand.

After they hurriedly completed the reintegration of the Wanjia Army, the Haihan Army captured the two men, basically declaring the true destruction of the Wanjia Army. Although some remaining personnel were still under Haihan's control.

Outside, but it has become a headless fly and it is difficult to become a phenomenon again.

This place is located in a mountainous area, and the distance between it and Fushan County is more than 40 miles. In addition, Gao Qiaonan also needs to take Pu Xueguang to dig out the bandit treasure buried in the nearby mountains. It will take at least two to three days to complete, so I have no time.

After escorting the prisoners of war back to Zhifu Island, Dongshan Village was used as a temporary detention place, and hundreds of prisoners of war were temporarily detained here.

The words were divided into two parts. When Gao Qiaonan was leading people to hunt for treasure in the mountains, a Haihan fleet from the south arrived at the port of Zhifu Bay. In addition to bringing a large amount of supplies to the local area, this fleet also

The new batch of reinforcements includes a company of the Army, more than thirty civil affairs, agricultural technicians, medical staff, dozens of various technicians, as well as Tian Yeyou and Morgan who were transferred to work here with the approval of the Executive Committee.

Two people.

The operation of Taiwan's Miaoli Oilfield has basically been on track, and the local security situation has also become peaceful due to the efforts of the military. There are no hostile indigenous tribes within a radius of more than ten miles of the oil field. Morgan handed over the local defense.

After giving it to Yu Yao, he and Tian Yeyou set off from Miaoli and headed north. The two stopped briefly in Zhoushan, Zhejiang, and then went north to Shandong with the fleet transporting supplies.

The Zhifu Island headquarters naturally welcomed the arrival of these two people. The next project to mine the Fushan copper mine must be hosted by Tian Yeyou, and Morgan was asked to come by Wang Tom's name. On the one hand, the population of the Shandong base is growing rapidly.

Medical experts are needed to be stationed locally. On the other hand, Morgan's move north brings not only medical support, but also a group of snipers he personally trained. The Ministry of National Defense hopes that these people can join the battle to regain Liaodong and fight on the battlefield.

play a special role as a sniper.

As usual, the island organized a reception banquet for the two newly arrived companions. Except for Harugong and Chen Yixin who were busy on the mainland, other travelers attended the event and informed them of the current situation in Shandong and Liaodong.

progress status.

"So, Liaodong Pi Island is an unexpected harvest!" Tian Yeyou couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "I remember that when you made the original plan, you didn't include this place."

"Yes, we accidentally learned that this place still exists when we arrived in Liaodong. The tens of thousands of Liaodong refugees on Pi Island are still of great value to us." Wang Tom responded: "Currently recruiting in Dengzhou

The progress of immigration has slowed down, and the main source of immigrants from the end of this year to the first half of next year may have to come to Phi Island."

"Then Dongjiang Town... apart from basic cooperation projects, are they willing to cooperate with our actions militarily, or accept our command?" Compared to immigration, Morgan was more concerned about the military situation.

Qian Tiandun responded: "Based on the current situation of Dongjiang Town, it is unlikely that they will reject the exchange conditions we proposed. The current initial cooperation intention is to exchange food for population and solve the famine problem on the island first, and then we can talk about it.

Further military cooperation, such as sending troops to attack Liaodong together. Most of the soldiers in Dongjiang Town are from Liaodong. They are much more familiar with the local conditions than we are. If we can get the cooperation of Dongjiang Town, then our actions in Liaodong can be

It’s relatively easy.”

Tian Yeyou said: "It's not an option for us to provide them with food for a long time, right? Food is not valuable in the south, but the shipping capacity on the sea is. To transport food from Zhejiang to Pi Island, the freight cost alone is more than

Food is expensive.”

Sun Changmi nodded and responded: "This is indeed a problem. There are tens of thousands of people on Pi Island, and almost all food depends on external imports. Even if we are not short of food, it will be a problem to feed so many mouths for a long time. So we plan to regain it first

Changshan Islands in Liaodong, use the land there to restore food production, allowing Dongjiang Town to gradually solve the food demand problem on its own."

Compared with the mainland of the Liaodong Peninsula, the islands across the sea are obviously safer. Houjin's current maritime armed forces are still very limited. Although Shang Kexi defected to Houjin, Dongjiang Town lost the Changshan Islands as a grain-producing area.

However, Houjin was also concerned about the inconvenience of sea transportation and did not send troops to occupy these islands. Therefore, it is not too difficult for Dongjiang Town to take them back - provided that the Haihan Navy clears out the Houjin navy on the east coast of the Liaodong Peninsula for them and solves the problem.

Remove this security threat.

"What's the level of the Boarskin navy?" Tian Yeyou asked curiously.

"The main force is actually the Ming navy that defected, but if we give them time and space to develop, it will be difficult to say in two or three years." Wang Tom said: "We just want to take advantage of them before they are able to threaten them.

Go to Shandong Peninsula and take advantage of them first to get rid of them."

Tian Yeyou asked: "Winter is about to enter, is it still too late this year?"

"It will probably be difficult this year, and it won't be until spring next year at the earliest." Wang Tom has already planned this: "Before Zhifu Bay starts to freeze, we may have another chance to send troops to Liaodong, but I don't think it can be solved at once.

The Houjin Navy, unless they are out of their minds, will bring all the navy troops together to fight us in a decisive battle."
