Now that the bank has been found, Yang Fan has no interest in attacking this watchtower.
What Yang Fan is interested in is the money. As for these people, Yang Fan has no interest at all.
"Stop attacking, seal the exit with Fran machine cannons, and bombard me with shotgun shells when you come out. The others will follow me to see the bank."
Yang Fan turned around and left with everyone, not wanting to stay here for a minute longer.
The people above the castle were a little surprised when they saw below that all the thieves had left.
Li Qiutong was a little suspicious. In the round just now, he killed more than 200 Japanese pirates. After that, the Japanese pirates never attacked again. They always hid behind the rice bags and used the shooting holes on the fortifications and watchtowers to shoot at each other.
The muskets used by these Japanese pirates were all muskets, but their firepower was extremely fierce, three times more powerful than the three-eyed gun.
The servants on the watchtower were counting, and as soon as they fired, nine rounds would be fired continuously.
Then, I watched them quickly remove the barrel of the gun and install a new barrel. Then they fired nine rounds in succession.
Jia Ding and Rumi Gun Camp also suffered more than 200 casualties, and basically did not take advantage.
General He Zhenxiu was sent to garrison here because he secretly supported the Ningyuan mutiny. The 500 people he brought with him were all elements closely related to the mutiny.
Yuandu didn't want to deal with them, so he simply gathered them all and sent them here.
In fact, it can be regarded as a disguised reward. When you come here, you will receive military pay without delay, and the Li family will also receive additional subsidies.
Although this place is located in the north, it is no less prosperous than Yangzhou. It is a good place to live comfortably.
There are no slaves here, and there is no need to fight. Is there any soldier in the world who is more comfortable than here?
After enjoying it for less than a month, the Japanese pirates came.
This world is simply too fantasy. Weren’t all the Japanese pirates killed by Qi Shuai back then? Could it be that these people are the children of those Japanese pirates back then, now grown up, here to take revenge.
Looking at this posture, it is obvious that he is heading to the capital. Unfortunately, Zhangjiawan, where Li's residence is located, is the last stop on the canal.
Everyone is out of luck here, as this is the only way to the capital.
In the exchange of fire just now, half of the 300 men stationed by Guan Ning's army were killed or wounded, but He Zhenxiu was frightened.
If the Japanese pirates risked their lives with him, he really didn't know how long he could survive.
Fortunately, these Japanese pirates saw that this huge watchtower was a tough nut to crack and actually withdrew.
Only a few people were left hiding behind those rice bags and shooting cold shots.
At this time, the door under the rockery had been opened, and boxes of gold were moved out.
There were also silver cubes cast into cubes with two ears, each weighing four to five hundred kilograms. They were also lifted up.
These lumps of silver are not something that people can move, but this is not a problem for Yang Fan's servants, who are now skilled at searching homes.
After taking a look at the situation, he calmly set up the pulley block and lifted all the gold and silver directly.
Tao Zi looked at Yang Fan enthusiastically. Yang Fan didn't bring any pirates or believers here. They were all servants here.
"I have a lot of use for this money, so I won't share it with you. However, you won't suffer a loss this time. In addition to the gold and silver exchange business being handed over to you, ten large bronze cannons, plus four coins will be given to you this time.
In addition to a thousand pieces of armor, clothing, swords, and crossbows, I am also going to give you three thousand muskets and twenty base fixed ammunition.
Taozi immediately became excited. Compared with gold and silver, she valued Yang Fan's weapons more. These things can be bought if you have money but no place.
In this actual battle, she witnessed with her own eyes the sharpness of the weapons provided by Yang Fan. These weapons would also be very effective against the shogunate's army.
This time, she learned a lot. Facing the war for the first time, she could feel that the believers were making rapid progress.
Yang Jun is right, the battlefield is the best teacher.
"Yang Jun, are you giving me another three thousand fire gate guns?" Taozi asked excitedly.
"No, no, no, this time I gave you a flintlock gun. It is not as powerful as the portal gun. However, it has a long range and can shoot enemies within a hundred meters, completely suppressing the Japanese iron cannon. It is perfect for the distance of the portal gun.
Use. The things have been packed and shipped to Beitang. You can just take them with you when you go back."
"Hi! Yang Jun is so polite. Tao Zi is so grateful to Yang Jun."
Taozi bowed deeply and expressed her gratitude excitedly. Yang Jun was so generous that he actually gave him a new weapon that only appeared in recent years. The new self-generating fire gun from Folangji. This is something that even if you have money, you can't buy it.
What a good thing.
"You're welcome. After all, you have to answer to the people below. You also have to pay your salary."
Yang Fan acted quickly. It was already dark when the fire ceased. By midnight, all the silver and gold ingots had been transported out.
"Let's transport it away. The night is long and the dream is long. We will retreat tonight. Return along the Grand Canal, first go to Tianjin to pick up the remaining troops, and retreat back to Dagukou."
After receiving the order, everyone took action immediately. Using small carts prepared in advance, they quickly transported the wealth to the dock.
At this time, the town was completely under control, and all Donglin's minions except the peaceful residents had fled.
Many residents were brave enough to lie down in the cracks of doors and peek at the Japanese pirates on the street, speaking rudely in Japanese, and pushing wooden boxes to the dock in chicken carts.
The pier was brightly lit, and a huge fire was raised on the shore. The illuminated pier was bright as snow.
Many merchant ships and tankers were captured, and the sailors and shipowners squatted on the shore fearfully and were being guarded.
At this time, Gu Ping, who was working as an interpreter on the dock, came over accompanied by a Japanese pirate leader.
Gu Ping listened to the Japanese pirate leader's chirping. He glanced at the ship bosses and sailors who were as frightened as quails.
Gu Ping said: "Don't be afraid, everyone. This time our friends from the sea are here to collect debts from the Li family. They have nothing to do with you. As long as you don't resist, they will never hurt you."
Gu Ping's words made everyone feel at ease. Since the Li family offended these Japanese pirates, it has nothing to do with us. Since they don't hurt us, whether the Li family lives or dies is none of our business.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Li family is used to being domineering in this town. Which business firm has not been exploited by them? It would be best if they all died.
"Your ship has been requisitioned. You immediately organize sailors to transport goods to Dagokou for the gentlemen from the sea. The price of the boat will be paid, but you all drive carefully. If you can recover the debts of the gentlemen from the Li family,
If the money falls into the river, you cannot afford to pay for it. The consequences will be serious. I think you all understand this. Get up and get on the boat quickly."
When everyone heard that not only were their lives not in danger, but they could also make money, they immediately became happy and ran to their boats one after another.
He also ordered the clerk to help load and unload the goods. Since you have paid, you are the customer. Customers are the parents of food and clothing, and you have to serve them well. Otherwise, will this old snack shop go to the northwest?
Yang Fan stood in a pavilion high up and looked at the heated scene below. He was also very happy that his grandmother had broken Dong Lin's leg in the north this time, giving them a good pain.
I felt bad for this period of time.
"Master, reinforcements are coming." Zhang Geda had just received the urgent reconnaissance report from Ye Bu, "The elite soldiers from Xuanfu Town in Yanqing arrived in the capital yesterday, and they have set off from Fengtai at noon today and are here."
Yang Fan was a little surprised. He knew that Xuanfu Town had an elite force stationed in Yanqing County.
I didn't expect it to arrive so quickly. It seems that this army has some skills. It's not like the ordinary troops of the Ming Dynasty, which are completely showy.
"Sir, how about I lead a battalion of servants to stop them and buy time for them to retreat," Zhang Geda said.
"No, although these people are stationed in Yanqing, Yanqing is the territory of Xuanfu Town. They are guest soldiers when they come to the capital. There is no need to fight them. I will naturally defeat them." Yang Fan thought for a while and said.
Everyone around was a little surprised, how could the enemy collapse without fighting.
Yang Fan looked at the different expressions on everyone's faces, gave it away, smiled mysteriously, and said: "I discovered a loophole in the Ming Dynasty's military system. They will not be here until tomorrow morning. You go first. I will take a thousand servants with me."
Let them have a good time and let them know what the military book says, to conquer the enemy without fighting."
