What's more, the He Gang has long been one of Liu Haojia's targets, and he has already bribed many people among them. So although we don't know what their final goal is, we can already guess a thing or two based on the general actions of the leader.
, this is the reason why Liu Haojia ambushed them!
When investigating the He Gang and the Cangzhou Gang, people around Liu Haojia thought of the cell leader He Lishui! This guy was a local and a cell leader, and he was willing to join Liu Haojia, so they tentatively contacted him.
one time.
Originally, this person was not very trusted, but this guy was quite ruthless! Taking advantage of the fact that he was a local and familiar with people, he actually sorted out the whole story and reported it.
Liu Haojia was very surprised after receiving the report! He actually investigated the matter by himself, and he is also a very capable person! Even if there are a few mistakes in it, it is enough to show his ability!
So Liu Haojia gave him a second task, which was to monitor the local militia to see if they made any changes and were they involved?
But He Lishui was not willing to do such a task! He felt that according to Liu Haojia's temperament, he would definitely fight back, so the city gate would be an unavoidable hurdle when deploying troops into the city! So he simply took all the money Liu Haojia gave him.
The money was spent to sell off the people of the militia! And the money was not enough, so he also took out his own savings and sold his house!
The person who secretly monitored him knew that he was a ruthless person when he saw his actions. He was afraid that he would fall into the eyes of the Marquis this time! He reported his actions immediately. Liu Haojia saw that he was very capable, so he directly
He was given two thousand taels of silver and made responsible for buying off the militia.
And he felt that officers at the top of the civilian army were difficult to bribe, and buying and selling officers would not show his ability, so he simply changed his approach and started to bribe soldiers at the bottom!
You must know that there are also prestigious figures among the soldiers, and it is not entirely the officers who have the final say. So after he found the leaders among these soldiers, he reached an agreement smoothly!
Anyway, for these militia soldiers, they just want to let the city gates open. There are many reasons! As for any trouble caused later, that is the matter of the big shots! So when Liu Haojia led people to block the four city gates, it was simply
It can be said to be a piece of cake!
Liu Haojia looked at He Lishui condescendingly and said, "I heard that you sold all your houses?"
When He Lishui heard that this matter had reached Liu Haojia's ears, he was naturally secretly happy! However, he still said respectfully: "The villain couldn't get enough money at the moment, so he couldn't go to Liansheng Bank, so he had to leave the house.
Sell it! It’s not enough! Now that the Marquis has come back, the villain’s house will not be sold for nothing!”
Liu Haojia nodded and said: "It doesn't matter if you sell it, your house won't be very big anyway. I'll get you a bigger one later!"
When He Lishui heard this, he was no longer secretly happy, but ecstatic! He knew that this was truly accepted by Liu Haojia! And a house was mentioned casually by Liu Haojia, which meant that it was not a reward at all, and the real reward was yet to come!
Sure enough, Liu Haojia continued: "After today, you will go directly to Wang Hongrui to report. First, be a deputy next to him and participate in the interrogation of these mobs. As for the rest, we will talk about it later. Anyway, you will deserve your reward!"
He Lishui knelt down and kowtowed with joy to thank Liu Haojia! Because he knew that Wang Hongrui was a deputy from a thousand households, so to be his deputy must be at least a hundred households, right? This was a step up from his previous position as cell leader.
!
Then Liu Haojia shook the horse's reins and said, "I'll take the first step, and you can do whatever you have to do!"
He Lishui immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Congratulations to the Marquis! I wish the Marquis success!"
Liu Haojia left the city gate and rode his horse to catch up with the soldiers in front of him, and went straight to Lend Lease Bank. Because he guessed that there was the most likely problem at Lend Lease Bank! After all, money moved people's hearts, and he didn't believe that the mob could bear it! As for his mansion,
On the contrary, I don’t have to worry.
On the one hand, there are enough manpower and weapons in the mansion, so it is difficult to win the siege by the army. Moreover, Zhang Peijia and Tan Cuiying have already moved elsewhere, so there is no danger. It is better to keep them and continue to attract these mobs!
The army was rampaging along the street. When it encountered a fork in the road, someone dressed as a beggar would jump out to guide the way. Then the army would divide into teams and cross the streets and alleys, like a large net that was constantly opening!
One advantage of fighting in the city is that as long as you block a few intersections, the mob's range of movement will be restricted. Then proceed street by street, and then there will be a blockade at both ends, and the people in the alley will have nowhere to run.
! Even if someone rushes to a resident’s home, they can be caught by just searching from house to house!
Liu Haojia had just marched for a short time when he heard the sound of scattered muskets in front of him! He gently pulled the horse's reins to turn, then gently pinched the horse's belly, and the horse turned briskly. As soon as he ran across a street, there were soldiers in front of him.
Running towards him, he saw the soldier delivering the message. Liu Haojia stopped his horse and asked, "What's happening ahead?"
The soldier said loudly: "Come back to the commander, something happened at Lend Lease Bank! The bank was breached and the mob rushed in, only to find that there was nothing inside. They seemed to feel something was wrong and were running away!"
Liu Haojia sneered when he heard this, and then asked: "What was Liu Ren's arrangement ahead?"
The soldier replied: "Master Liu has divided his troops in advance and arranged a relatively large circle. He wants to trap them first and then clean them up street by street! Well, the new circle is at least two streets larger than originally planned!"
After hearing this, Liu Haojia compared the original plan in his mind, and found that the troops everywhere seemed a bit thin, but it should be acceptable. After all, they were just a group of mobs, and there would be no advantage if they ran into the military formation head-on!
Then Liu Haojia said: "Go and tell him, just say you did a good job! But you need to move a little faster!"
The soldiers were ordered to leave, and Liu Haojia continued to move forward surrounded by the crowd. As soon as he turned a street corner, he heard a burst of intensive firecrackers coming from the next street corner. Liu Haojia pulled the horse's head and turned directly to the one.
Alley entrance.
When he walked to the alley, he saw that there were more than 20 soldiers lined up to drive away the mob! He saw that there were no blood stains or corpses on the ground, so he thought it must have been a firecracker fired into the sky.
Seeing this situation, Liu Haojia was relieved. After all, many people here were coerced or bribed. If they killed too many people, they would be easily criticized! But since it was okay, he felt relieved and looked at it.
