Chapter 329 Liu Heizi Robbed the Grain Ship
In order to destroy the Qing government’s purchase of grain from the south, Gao Yihuan made two preparations. One was to let Ma Hongshan compete with Shanxi merchants and interfere with the purchase of grain by Shanxi merchants, and the other was to inform his good brother Liu Heizi to rob Shanxi merchants and transport grain to the north. grain ship.

When Ma Hongshan was frying rice in Huguang, Liu Heizi also received a letter from Gao Yihuan.

Naturally, Liu Heizi had nothing to say about this kind of thing, so Dang even ordered 2000 troops to quietly cross the Yellow River and enter the territory of Caozhou Prefecture in Shandong.

Shandong is now in the zone where the Ming, Shun, and Qing forces meet. The Qing army occupies most of Shandong, while the Ming army only controls a few counties in Yizhou, Yanzhou, and Jining Prefecture.

At this time, there were not many Qing troops in Shandong. For example, Caozhou was plundered by the Qing army once before, and most of the people fled, basically in a state of deserted and homeless.

Back then, Liu Heizi and Gao Yihuan came to Caozhou. Liu Heizi was familiar with the terrain in this area, so he chose to hide in Juye County in Caozhou, and then sent scouts to Nanwang Lake and Kaihe Station in Yanzhou to inquire about news. .

This time, the Qing army sent a few Shanxi merchants to go south to buy grain, and grain ships would come over almost every once in a while.

At noon this day, in the reed marsh near Nanwang Lake, several scouts were eating in a small boat.

This is Liu Heizi's scout, led by a team. The task is very simple, that is, to monitor the canal to see if there is any grain ship coming.

In this era, the cost of land transportation by manpower is very huge. If Shanxi merchants want to transport grain to the north, the most labor-saving way is to take the Grand Canal.

This reduces the difficulty of the scouts' investigation, as long as they stay by the canal, pay attention to the Grand Canal, wait for the grain ship to come, and then go back to report.

In the blue reeds, a few scouts were eating dry food. They had been waiting here for three days, but they hadn't seen any boat coming.

At this time, it was getting dark, and the mosquitoes on the lake began to increase, buzzing everywhere, and you could eat mosquitoes with your mouth open.

A scout slapped himself on the face, and some complained: "Boss, when can we go back! I'm almost sucked dry."

The scout team was waving their hands to slap the swarms of mosquitoes, and said unhappily, "As long as you talk too much, if you don't find the grain ship, none of us will be able to return!"

At this time, a soldier sitting on the bow, who was eating pancakes, suddenly stopped and exclaimed in a low voice, "The team is coming, the boat is coming!"

Several people on the boat were shocked when they heard the words, and looked towards the direction of the canal one after another. The boat shook in shock, causing ripples in circles.

Seeing this, the team glared at several subordinates and said in a low voice, "Be professional, don't move!" Then he turned his head and looked into the distance. Sure enough, there were more than a dozen ships in the distance, slowly sailing north along the canal go.

When the team was looking at it, their faces were overjoyed, and they were excitedly watching the fleet in the distance.

He looked at it for a while, then said in a low voice: "Gouzi, go back with Pengzi and Lao Zhou to report to the general, and I will continue to follow the fleet."

Several scouts nodded, "The team is right, be careful."

At that moment, a few people swung the boat to the shore, and the three scouts moved their horses out of a forest, and then ran westward.

Since Liu Heizi arrived in Guide, he seldom came out to plunder on his own initiative. Every time he just followed Gao Yihuan to do some side jobs, which was basically enough for him to spend a long time.

He followed Gao Yihuan and closed his business for a year, and only opened for a year. However, since the last battle in Shouzhou, Gao Yihuan had no new actions, and his energy was entangled by the Tartars going south, and he tried to do some loss-making business.

Counting it, Gao Yihuan hadn't done any new business with him for more than a year, so Liu Heizi became a little anxious. At this moment, he suddenly received a secret letter from Gao Yihuan.

In the letter, Gao Yihuan introduced him to a no-cost business, which was sure to make a profit without losing money, but compared to before, this time he did it alone.

In the past, Gao Yihuan took the lead in every cooperation, and he could only share a little, but this time he didn't need to share, and it was all his.

As soon as Liu Heizi was excited, he ordered 2000 people to enter the border of Shandong.

At this time, he had been waiting for many days, but there was still no movement, and Liu Heizi felt a little unhappy.

He set off from Guide, and the dry food he brought was only enough for half a month. Counting the time to go back and forth, he would not be able to stay in Shandong for a few days.

Gao Yihuan said that there will be a large number of grain ships going north along the canal, but it has been many days. Could it be that his brother Gao's intelligence was wrong.

At this moment, a personal guard came in to report, "General Qi, a team of scouts found the grain ship heading north."

"Damn it, it's finally here!" Liu Heizi was overjoyed when he heard that, and stood up abruptly, "Haha~ My Brother Gao's news is quite accurate. Everyone in Ruzhou knows about Shandong. What a goddamn god." gone."

"Bring someone in." Liu Heizi looked excited. This time, it's time for me to make a fortune on my own.

After a while, a scout was brought up and knelt down on one knee to report: "See the general for humble rank!"

Liu Heizi had someone put his armor on, and asked, "I'm going to ask you, where are the grain boats you are sending to, and how many grain boats are there?"

"General Qi, there are fifteen grain ships that have just arrived at Nanwang Lake. After two days, they should pass through Kaihe Station and then enter the territory of Tai'an Mansion."

There are Tazi troops stationed in Tai'an, and it is not easy to handle grain ships entering Tai'an.

Liu Heizi immediately ordered, "Order the whole army to assemble!"

The 2000 people packed up their luggage, got on their horses, and followed Liu Heizi, galloping away towards the northeast~~~
The Qing court dispatched a number of Shanxi merchants to the south to buy grain. The direct fleet discovered by Liu Heizi was Shanxi merchant Huang Yunfa.

About a year and a half ago, Fan Sanba, the son of Fan Yongdou, and Liu Liangchen, the Qing general, were suddenly attacked on the way to transport grain to the north. The food was robbed, Liu Liangchen was killed, and Fan Sanba was killed. He was cut into a wax gourd man, which was extremely miserable.

When Huang Yunfa walked this path, he was very nervous, fearing that he would suffer the same misfortune.

Along the way, Huang Yunfa was careful, and after passing Nanwang Lake, he ordered the trackers to speed up and enter Tai'an Mansion as soon as possible.

At this time, the ship was heading north and arrived at Kaihe Station. Suddenly, the water surface began to tremble, and yellow dust billowed up from the east bank of the canal. Also, the yellow dust was billowing, and a large group of cavalry roared towards the fleet.

Huang Yunfa on the boat was terrified when he saw this. He instinctively wanted to run away, but he found that there were ambushes on both sides of the strait.

For a moment, Huang Yunfa's face turned pale, and his heart shook wildly, "No way, there are only a dozen ships, why are there ambushes on both sides of the strait, four or five thousand horses came all at once!"

Liu Heizi rushed out with his men and horses, and suddenly saw an ambush of more than 2000 soldiers appearing on the opposite bank.

Liu Heizi rushed to the shore on horseback, killed the trackers, and ignored the grain boats in the canal, raised his knife and roared, "Gusun, how dare you steal your grandfather's business?"

The cavalry on the opposite side rushed to the shore, and the leading general raised his gun and yelled, "Heisi, as soon as this boat leaves Huai'an, I'll be following you. If you're sensible, go back to Henan, or I'll kill you across the river and want your head." !"

The men and horses on both sides were all dressed up as local bandits. For a while, they fired guns across the canal, cursed again and again, and competed for the ownership of the grain ship, until the grain ship parked in the middle was left aside.

Huang Dongzhu was stunned to hear the scolding between the two sides, and the two sides were shocked~~~
