Easily captured Dongshanzhai, captured Gan Qiang and Pu Xueguang, two bandit leaders on Haihan's most wanted list, and Gao Qiaonan's mission for this trip was more than half completed.Gao Qiaonan led people to check the supplies in the village, and at the same time sent people to the kitchen to get some hot food. Since entering the mountain yesterday, he and his subordinates have been busy all day without even a sip of hot water. After sleeping in the wild all night, even Iron Man was really tired.
As the base camp and command center of the Wanjia Army during this period, Dongshanzhai also concentrated some supplies and stored them here, mainly food, grass and weapons.Gao Qiaonan checked the warehouses in the cottage, and found that there were nearly 500 catties of grain stored here, and the number of knives, guns, bows and arrows could probably arm three to five hundred people. It turned out to be a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron that could only be returned to the furnace to make farm tools, and the value was not too great.
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 or three thousand taels of silver, which was still quite different from the information Gao Qiaonan had.The Wan Family Army has been dominating Dengzhou for several years, especially in Fushan County, where the infiltration is the most severe. It went bankrupt, and the Wanjiajun had accumulated at least five figures in cash through various plunders.According to Wan Meng's account, Pu Xueguang has always been in charge of Wan Jiajun's accounts, and after Wan Meng was arrested, all the Wan Jiajun's money naturally fell into Pu Xueguang's hands.
Gan Qiang's previous confession also confirmed this point. 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 hands of the latter.Gao Qiaonan knew that there was such a sum of ill-gotten wealth, so naturally he would not let it go easily. This is also one of the reasons why he was eager to arrest Pu Xueguang, so as not to cause complications, and let this guy transfer the money after hearing the wind went elsewhere.
Gao Qiaonan led people to search through the cottage, but found nothing else, so he immediately interrogated Pu Xueguang and asked him to reveal the place where the money was hidden.
However, Pu Xueguang was regarded as a military adviser by Wan Meng. Although he is not an extremely intelligent person, he still has some careful thoughts. How can he just confess like this, and said with a bitter face: "This general, the last time the Wan family army was in Fushan After the collapse outside the county, many people heard the news and fled from various cottages with money, and there was not much gold and silver treasure 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, and from him he had already learned about the family background of the Wan Family Army. It's not just such a little wealth.
Gao Qiaonan didn't believe Pu Xueguang's words, so he immediately woke him up with words: "You can choose not to cooperate with us, but I believe that you will not be the only one who knows where the money is hidden, as long as we catch these bandits After a trial, there will always be someone who is willing to cooperate with us. At that time, you will be of no value to us, and what will happen to you, you should think about it yourself!"
Pu Xueguang felt that Gao Qiaonan's words seemed to point to something, so he cautiously and tentatively asked, "Then I don't know how much a villain is worth? Is there a chance to regain freedom?"
"That depends on how well you cooperate!" Takahashi Nan replied: "It's very simple, the more benefits we get, the less sinful you will be. If you want to regain your freedom, it depends on how big you are." It depends on the contribution! Don't forget, Wan Meng was captured alive by us back then, and we know how many families the Wan Family Army has!"
Pu Xueguang pondered for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "If the noble army can give back the villain's freedom, then the villain is willing to hand over all the money hidden by the Wanjia army!"
"It's not a bad condition, but how do you convince me of what you said?" Takahashi Minami asked.
Pu Xueguang replied: "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 then he will know that what the villain said is true."
"Secret account book? Then how do I know if there is only one secret account book or several?" Gao Qiaonan was not such a fool, and did not immediately accept Pu Xueguang's confession.
Pu Xueguang said: "The little man's life is at stake, how dare he deceive the general? The general also said just now that Wan Meng has already accounted for the approximate amount of money, and the records in this account book should match."
Hearing what he said was reasonable, Gao Qiaonan asked him where the account books were hidden, and then sent someone to take out the account books from the place Pu Xueguang said.
The place where Pu Xueguang hid his account books was not a top-secret place either, it was in a hidden compartment on the bedroom floor.Just now Gao Qiaonan led people to search here, but after getting out the two boxes of gold and silver found, he didn't check the other places in the bedroom carefully inch by inch.
In front of Pu Xueguang, Gao Qiaonan began to look through the account books. The entries recorded on it were not the usual entry and exit accounts, but the year, month and day, where the gold and silver money was buried and sealed.The amount of gold and silver is written in great detail, but the recorded locations are very vague. They are all place names such as "Jujube Garden", "Tiger Banshi", and "Shenxian Cave". Obviously, only the parties involved can know the exact burial landed.
"You have quite a lot of tricks!" Gao Qiaonan had a new understanding of Pu Xueguang after looking through the account book.These bandits obviously have a certain sense of crisis, and they also know how to disperse and bury the money obtained from the looting, so that even if someone knows one of the treasure spots, they will not hurt the foundation of the Wanjia Army.
Pu Xueguang said quite complacently: "It's not that the villain is bragging. Even Wan Meng only knows the approximate amount of money, but not the exact location of all the buried places. Even if the general can find other insiders, he only knows one or two of them at most. It's just the location, if you want to find all the treasures, you really have to let the villain lead the way."
Gao Qiaonan understood that his implication was that he was negotiating conditions with himself, so he immediately said: "You take us to find all the treasures in this account book, take out the treasures, and the number is correct, I will give you back free, everything in the past Never blame the past!"
Gao Qiaonan had roughly checked the number when he looked at the account books just now, but it was roughly consistent with the number Wan Meng said, and there would not be a big discrepancy. When the time comes, the counting and accounting will be consistent with the account records, which will prove that what Pu Xueguang said Tell the truth.
According to the records in the account books, the Wanjiajun gang buried gold and silver treasures worth more than 10 taels of silver in a total of 8 treasure spots, and two of them were taken out by Pu Xueguang after the Wanjiajun defeated Fushan County. , used to buy food and other military supplies, as well as daily expenses, and the remaining unused part was the two boxes of gold and silver that the Haihan Army found in his bedroom.And the nine treasure spots that have not been touched still contain treasures worth at least [-] taels of silver.
This money is also the confidence for Pu Xueguang and Gan Qiang to continue to maintain the structure of the Wanjiajun and plan to recruit troops to make a comeback.As long as time passes, they will have the opportunity to use the money to rebuild this bandit army. Regardless of whether it is renamed Pu's Army or Gan's Army in the future, they will still have a chance to stand up.It's just that they didn't expect that Haihan would launch such an unrelenting pursuit so soon. They not only posted reward notices in various villages and towns, but also set up a scheme to plot against Gan Qiang, and then chased him all the way to Dongshanzhai. To Pu Xueguang, who didn't know where he was going, came a pot.
After they hastily completed the reintegration of the Wanjia Army, the Haihan Army captured the two of them, basically announcing the real destruction of the Wanjia Army.Although there are still some remnants who are still outside Haihan's control, they have already become headless chickens, and it is difficult to become a climate again.
This place is located in a mountainous area, and the distance between Fushan County and Fushan County is more than [-] miles. In addition, Gao Qiaonan has 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. Escorting the prisoners of war back to Zhifu Island, they used this Dongshan village as a temporary prison, and temporarily detained hundreds of prisoners of war here.
The story is divided into two parts. When Takahashi Nan led his 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 has a new batch of reinforcements, including a company of the army, more than 30 civil affairs, agricultural technology, and medical personnel, and dozens of various technicians. , and Tian Yeyou and Morgan, who were approved by the executive committee to work here.
The operation of Taiwan's Miaoli Oilfield is basically on the right track, and the local security situation has also become peaceful thanks to the efforts of the military. There are no hostile indigenous tribes within a radius of more than ten miles from the oilfield.After Morgan handed over the local defense to Yu Yao, he and Tian Yeyou set off from Miaoli to the north.The two stopped briefly in Zhoushan, Zhejiang, and then went north to Shandong with the supply fleet.
For the arrival of these two people, the Zhifu Island Command naturally welcomed them very much.The next project to mine the Fushan Copper Mine must be presided over by Tian Yeyou, and Morgan is called by Wang Tom. On the one hand, the population of the Shandong base is growing rapidly, and medical experts are required to come to the local town. Only medical security, and a group of snipers he personally trained.The Ministry of National Defense hopes that this group of people can join the battle to recover Liaodong and play a special role as snipers on the battlefield.
According to the usual practice, the island organized a reception banquet for the two newcomers. Except for Harugong and Chen Yixin who were busy on the mainland, all other traversers attended the scene and informed them of the current situation in Shandong and Liaodong. progress status.
"Speaking of which, Liaodong Phi Island is an unexpected gain!" Tian Yeyou couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "I remember that when you made the plan, you didn't include this place in the plan."
"Yes, we only found out that this place still exists by accident when we arrived in Liaodong. The tens of thousands of Liaodong refugees on Phi Island are still of great value to us." Wang Tom replied: "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 fall on Phi Island."
"Then this Dongjiang Town...besides the basic cooperation projects, are they willing to cooperate with our military operations, or accept our command?" Compared with immigration, Morgan is more concerned about the military situation.
Qian Tiandun replied: "Based on the current situation of Dongjiang Town, they are unlikely to reject our exchange terms. The current initial cooperation intention is to exchange food for population. First solve the famine problem on the island, and then we can talk about it." Further military cooperation, such as sending troops together to attack Liaodong. Most of the soldiers in Dongjiang Town are from Liaodong, and 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 will be successful. Relatively easier."
Tian Yeyou said: "It's not a solution for us to provide them with food for a long time, right? Food is not valuable in the south, but the sea transportation capacity is valuable. To transport food from Zhejiang to Phi Island, the freight alone is more than that." Food is expensive."
Sun Changmi nodded and said: "This is indeed a problem. There are tens of thousands of people on Phi Island, and almost all food is imported from the outside world. Even if we are not short of food, it is still a problem to feed so many mouths for a long time. So we plan to recover first. The Changshan Islands in Liaodong, use the land there to resume food production, and let Dongjiang Town gradually solve the problem of food demand by itself."
Compared with the mainland of the Liaodong Peninsula, the islands facing each other across the sea are obviously safer. Houjin's current maritime armed forces are still very limited. However, Hou Jin also worried about the inconvenience of sea traffic, and did not send troops to occupy these islands, so it is not too difficult for Dongjiang Town to take it back-the premise is that the Haihan Navy will clear the Hou Jin Navy on the east coast of the Liaodong Peninsula for them, and solve the problem. Get rid of this security threat.
"What's the level of the sailor of the wild boar skin?" Tian Yeyou asked curiously.
"The main force is actually the Ming army navy who defected, but if you give them time and space to develop, it will be hard to say in two or three years." Wang Tom said: "It is to take advantage of their inability to threaten When we go to the Shandong Peninsula, we will act first and get rid of them."
Tian Yeyou asked: "Winter is about to enter, is there still time this year?"
"This year will probably be difficult, and it will be after the spring of next year at the earliest." Wang Tom has already planned on this: "Before Zhifu Bay starts to freeze, we may have another chance to send troops to Liaodong, but I don't think we can solve it all at once. The post-Golden Navy, unless their brains are flooded, must gather all the naval forces to fight a decisive battle with us."
