I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 874 It's All Money!

Jiang Hao originally thought that his knife would be merciless, but at the last moment, he stopped.

Even if there is infinite hatred in his heart, infinite compassion for the people on both sides of the river, and an incomparable desire for justice to be done.

But he stopped in the end, and the idea of ​​helping those murdered people to avenge himself was dispelled.

"It would be too cheap to kill him with one knife, if he was killed in this place so quietly.

How can the people be inspired to resolutely resist this scourge!

If he dies quietly, how can he deter the bandits in other water villages and make them feel afraid! "

If he died like this, this victory would be nothing more than a small battle achievement.

How great is the credit for exterminating a group of bandits.

But if he can be publicly tried and more people know about it, then the effect that can be achieved can be maximized.

Only in this way can the entire Yangtze River be freed from this suffering faster.

Jiang Hao's rationality made him stop the knife in his hand, and this moment also made him understand.

If you want to restore Jiangnan to the peace and harmony of the past, just killing a few bandit leaders will not work.

They are like weeds, as long as the ground under their feet can provide nutrients, they will recover sooner or later.

Only when everyone is vigilant and abhors this scourge, will this chaos disappear completely.

He didn't even bother to look at Wang Dacheng one more time.

With a horizontal stroke of the long knife, it hit Wang Dacheng's forehead fiercely with the handle of the knife, knocking him unconscious.

I didn't feel the excitement of defeating a strong enemy in my heart.

He just turned his head and said indifferently to the fleet officers and soldiers who were still playing with some water pirates,

"Hurry up and end, General Chen is still waiting for us to go back!"

Those hundreds of households laughed,
"Unexpectedly, Mr. Jiang is so agile. I thought this stupid big man could hold on for a while, but I didn't expect it. I didn't have the time to burn incense, so I was finished.

What a disappointment!

Well, brothers, stop playing and end this boring battle quickly! "

How could those guys who had been itching for a long time before their turn let go of this last moment of carnival.

One by one screamed and pounced on them from all directions.

After a burst of smoke and dust, several of Wang Dacheng's subordinates had already been beaten, only breathing in but not breathing out.

The battle is over, and Jiang Hao is preparing to take people back.

Suddenly a soldier held something high and said excitedly,
"Boss, look at what's in the bags on their bodies!"

"Head, it's silver notes, gold, silver and jewelry, these people have them all!"

As soon as these words came out, not only the deputy hundred households became interested, but even Jiang Hao's brows trembled a few times.

He wasn't interested in how much he could get.

But if the money is really a lot, even if Chen Hong is not looking at his own face, even if he is looking at the hundreds of military households and fishermen who are still in rags and still follow them to fight.

How much can give them a little bit.

With this money, he can recruit more people, build better ships, and better protect the Yangtze River Basin.

After all, the people in the fleet discovered Qian, and he is only an assistant now, and he is the main force.

Although he is currently the person with the highest official position here, he did not ask aloud.

Not long after, a hundred households came to him with bags of gold and silver.

The smiling mouth could hardly close.

"My lord, guess how much money these bastards have with them!"

Although Jiang Hao was very interested in it, he pretended to be indifferent on the surface and said,
"It doesn't matter how much it is, it has to be handed over."

The adjutant said indifferently,
"Of course the officer knows this.

However, it is also good for us to have a dry addiction first.

To tell you the truth, my lord, just a little bit lightly, not counting those gold and silver jewels, just the silver bills are more than 3 taels! "

"Unexpectedly, these guys don't look very good, and there is no way to get money. It makes the lower officials envy them a little bit!"

When Jiang Hao heard this number, his eyelids jumped twice.

I was also shocked in my heart.

"This is just what a few of them carry with them. If you count the parts that cannot be taken away in the water village, the accumulation of just one water village in three years is almost more than [-] taels!"

"The money was collected from innocent people. For this money, their hands were stained with the blood of many innocent people."

Hearing Jiang Hao's words, the others fell silent.

Unlike Jiang Hao, they are all officers and soldiers of the fleet, and they fight on weekdays, either with pirates or with natives of other countries.

Because they are not members of Daming, no matter whether it is killing enemies or collecting treasures, they have no psychological pressure.

But Jiang Hao's words made them understand.

The thieves in these water villages are not only people from Daming, but also people from Daming who they robbed.

This made the officers and soldiers of the fleet, who all had a strong sense of national honor, suddenly angry.

"Every one of these scum deserves to die. I don't care for money with the blood of the people of Ming Dynasty!"

As he said that, the officer threw all the gold, silver and banknotes on the ground fiercely.

A few excited soldiers even drew their knives and were about to chop those sinful guys.

Fortunately, it was stopped by a few hundred households who were still sensible.

Otherwise, what will be brought to Chen Hong at that time may be a few corpses riddled with holes.

When Jiang Hao and others returned to the water village under the pressure of Wang Dacheng and others who escaped, Chen Hong and others had almost cleaned up the water village.

All water pirates were brought under control.

Some guys who were going to hide among the common people and wanted to escape the catastrophe were also identified by the common people and found out.

Seeing that Jiang Hao and others came back intact.

Chen Hong didn't ask about the money immediately, but observed everyone up and down.

"It's good that no one of you gets hurt!
Hahaha, it's because I'm overthinking. It's just a few pirates. If so many of you can't take it down, it won't be my face! "

As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Hao aside, pointed to the boxes that were being transported to the ship in large and small boxes, and said,

"Brother Jiang Hao, guess what's in those boxes?"

Jiang Hao knew without guessing that it must be the seized silver.

He smiled wryly and said,
"What else can it be? The designation is money, but I didn't expect there to be so much."
