The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 290
Huang Long just got help from Huang Han to avoid the disaster of killing himself, and he still has lingering fears at this moment.

He saw the powerful combat effectiveness of the "Red Banner Army" and realized the huge gap between Dongjiang soldiers and the "Red Banner Army".

Martial arts get along with each other depending on their strength, Huang Long was subdued by the "Red Banner Army", and now he follows Huang Han's lead.

Of course, Jin Sheng and Zhang Tao met Huang Han enthusiastically when they met again. Huang Long was full of praise for Huang Han, and he talked about how tough the "Red Banner Army" was in front of Jin Sheng and Zhang Tao, and his face was full of envy.

Huang Long sighed: "Everyone trains soldiers, but I don't know why the 'Red Banner Army' is so uniform? Even if those soldiers don't make a move, they can bring great deterrence to the enemy! Master Huang, how did you do it? of?"

Huang Han saw that several people were envious of the neat military appearance of the "Red Banner Army", so he began to give them bad ideas.

Huang Han said: "In fact, everyone knows how to lead soldiers. To bring out good soldiers, I believe that General Huang Zhang and Deputy General Zhang can do it. What is the key? Sufficient money and food.

Ask yourself, can your subordinates eat three meals a day?Can you eat meat every day?Can the food and wages they receive every month support their wives and children? "

Zhang Tao and Huang Long looked at each other, Jin Sheng stared at Huang Han intently, saw that he stopped talking and urged: "Master Huang, I know that the imperial court's money and food are difficult to sustain, resulting in insufficient military pay and serious arrears, and the soldiers are miserable.

Apart from the Guan Ning Army, which battalion of soldiers in my Ming Dynasty can have three full meals?Soldiers still have food and wages to take back to support their families?Master Huang, could it be that you can do it? "

Huang Long complained: "Dongjiang Town doesn't have farmland at all, all the food comes by sea, not to mention three meals, two meals are half full, and the soldiers under his command will not rebel, alas! Difficult!"

Huang Han said disapprovingly: "Difficult? It's up to people! Is there anything more difficult than dying?"

Huang Long asked suspiciously, "Master Huang, what is the meaning of this?"

Huang Han continued to induce: "The purpose of Geng Zhongyu's rebellion this time is to seize Pidao, the headquarters of Dongjiang Town, and dedicate it to Jiannu. Huang Zongbing will definitely not compromise with this traitor who betrays his country and seeks glory.

If it wasn't for my chance to come here in time, there is no guarantee that the commander-in-chief might have died for his country yesterday. I don't know if my analysis makes sense. "

Huanglong is a loyal minister who is listed in the biographies. In July of the sixth year of Chongzhen, he insisted on defending Lushunkou and fought alone until he ran out of ammunition and food. He still refused to surrender. , Zhang Dalu, Shang Keyi and other generals fought together and died.

Huang Long looked ashamed, cupped his hands and said: "Master Huang's life-saving grace, I will never forget it."

Huang Han said with a smile: "Lord Chief Soldier, just treat yourself as dead and have no desires or desires, and the next thing will be easy."

"Master Huang, why did you ask me to tell you clearly?"

"I thought that my lords should not delay in Phi Island, so I hurried to Laizhou to surround Shenjiabao, which is only [-] miles away from the port. If the guards of the Shen family dare to fight against the official army, they will be killed without mercy.

This official reckons that the big Shen family who ransacked the slave fornication would be able to confiscate at least a dozen or 20 taels of snowflake silver. At that time, only a part of it will be handed over to the imperial court, and the adults will have enough money to feed their subordinates. up? "

Jin Sheng took a breath and said, "The Shen family's network in Laizhou is intricate, and there are three members of the family who are officials in the court. How will we end up copying the Shen family like this?"

There is a reason for Huang Han to risk bad water. He has no grievances with the Shen family in Laizhou, and he will not feel righteous indignation because of their smuggling.

As long as the merchants who smuggle in Liaodong can assert that they have fornicated Jiannu, because how can a transaction be formed without communicating with Jiannu?The Shen family was just unlucky for Huang Han to grasp the real evidence.

In fact, all this is not the reason why Huang Han bewitched Huang Long, Zhang Tao and Jin Sheng to go to Laizhou to copy the Shen family. The most important reason is that Huang Han has already captured a straw boat of the Shen family. 3 taels.

When Huang Yong cleaned up the ship in Phi Island to prevent Geng Zhongyu from escaping by boat, he also captured four smuggling ships of the Shen family that were moored at the port, and the value was estimated to be no less than 8 taels of silver.

There are as many as a dozen ships of other smuggling families in the port, all of which are well-maintained and better than the few warships in Shuiying, Dongjiang Town.

Muddy water is the best way to catch fish. Huang Han tricked Huang Long to take revenge on the traitors who fornicated slaves and went ashore to surround Shenjiabao and search the house to arrest people, which would definitely cause an uproar in the court.

Huang Han took the opportunity to swallow the twenty small No. [-] and No. [-] blessing boats together with their cargo and crew, so that they don't look too ugly.

Seeing that Jin Sheng was worried, Huang Han unhurriedly took out the confessions of the captain of the Shen family and a dozen sailors and gunners, put them on the table, and said with a smile:

"The ironclad evidence is like a mountain. The emperor's Shen family will also be ransacked and beheaded. It's just that at that time, it has nothing to do with you. The adults who go to do it will make a fortune."

After all, he leisurely drank tea by himself.

Zhang Tao, Huang Long, and Jin Sheng glanced at the confession with red handprints, and everyone looked excited.

Huang Long patted the table and said, "I've already died once and I'm still afraid of a bird, the Shen family is a big smuggler in Liaohai, I've known it for a long time.

Now that he has the real evidence that his family's liaison with slaves almost caused the destruction of Dongjiang Town and the loss of his life, what else is there to hesitate?The crime committed by the Shen family is enough to ransack the family and kill him, so I decided to do it. "

Jin Sheng didn't know that many of the money Huang Han used to develop the "Red Banner Army" came from wrong sources, and he must have done a lot of extortion.

Today, I found myself a little dazed and a little excited to embark on Huang Han's road to making a fortune when I first arrived.

In order to justify himself, Jin Sheng said in unison: "Mr. Huang was plotted by Geng Zhongyu and was almost hacked to death by the rebel army. All of this has nothing to do with the Shen family in Laizhou. How can Mr. Huang let the traitors go easily after being so humiliated? In a fit of rage, he rushed to Laizhou to capture the culprit and avenge him."

As the so-called official words are open, Jin Sheng used his brains to put a cloak of positive energy on military operations that were purely for making money. Anyway, the Shen family would be in trouble sooner or later.

Huanglong left with his subordinates that day, in order to prevent too much harvest and insufficient transport capacity, he asked the "Red Banner Army" water battalion to send more than a dozen ships to follow him. He asked Huang Han to temporarily manage Pidao.

There are more than 1000 people in the "Red Flag Army" stationed in Pidao, waiting for Huanglong to return to the army.

In a few days, Huang Han had a clear idea of ​​the current situation on the island.

Mao Wenlong has painstakingly managed Dongjiang Town for many years. In its heyday, there were 28 soldiers and civilians. Now that people are dying, fleeing, and running, the existing soldiers and civilians are probably less than one-third.

There are less than [-] soldiers and civilians on Phi Island, the base camp of Dongjiang Town.
