Chapter 337
"Tomorrow, Xiao Shunzi, you load all the 500 million silver coins from the Baoyuan Bureau into a truck and transport them all to the bank." Yang Reform was extremely irritable, he put aside the troubles just now, and started to do his own business.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Shunzi immediately agreed.The emperor has spared him, which is a good thing.

"I calculated, 500 million pieces, about 22 catties, probably have to be packed in more than 100 trucks. When transporting them, remember to transport them all at once. When transporting them on the road, find someone to overturn the convoy of silver coins. A few of them knocked out the silver coins inside and scattered them all over the ground for others to see..." Yang Reform said.

Xiao Shunzi and Li Ruolian looked at the emperor in surprise, why did they knock out the money?The ancients said that wealth is not revealed, so does the emperor want it?

"Your Majesty, this..." Xiao Shunzi was confused.

"I want to ask why, hehe, I said that the reputation of the military ticket should be done well. However, the common people only recognize silver and don't recognize my military ticket. I have no choice but to open everyone's eyes and see Looking at my family background, let everyone believe that with the military ticket, you can exchange the full amount of silver..." Yang Reform was forced to make a bad move, acting out a "car accident" and throwing away the money on the car. Come out, let everyone see their own family background, let everyone have confidence in their military tickets, and moreover, the military operation in Shaanxi has already started, wartime expenses, post-war rewards, pensions, etc., have to raise money, Therefore, facing the Shaanxi battlefield that was about to start, Yang Reform began to raise money.

"Ah!" The two looked at the emperor dumbfounded. The emperor was too... not playing cards according to common sense.

"Don't just think about it, think about it, how can I perform this play well? Tomorrow, in addition to arranging a convoy of people to bump into the silver coins, you also have to arrange 'crowds' to mix in the crowd, and how many silver coins have been transported this time. What is it for? How many silver coins are there in each car? I tell them intentionally or unintentionally, so that the common people can know my family background, and let the common people believe that my military ticket is guaranteed by silver coins, understand?" Yang Reform said. own plan.

"Ah!" The two of them could stuff an egg into their mouths.The emperor asked them to do this kind of thing... It was really beyond their expectations, who taught the emperor this trick!

"You two, do you understand?" Yang Reform now has some "partners", so he no longer needs to come forward for this kind of thing, just ask someone to arrange it.There is no way for Yang Reform, especially now that he is short of money, he must dress up as if he is not short of money. The appearance is absolutely indispensable.

"Your Majesty, this... is to let the common people see an 'accident', and then through this 'accident', they will know that His Majesty has silver, and there is no shortage of silver. Military tickets can be exchanged for silver coins at any time, right?" Xiao Shunzi To their surprise, the emperor actually asked them to do this.I had to repeat what I heard, lest I hear it wrong.

"Yes, the matter of military tickets has always been a headache for me. As I said just now, the credibility of military tickets must be improved. Don't let the common people always get military tickets and exchange them for silver coins. In this way, I But there is no room for maneuvering, so your task this time is to convince the common people that this batch of silver is the guarantee silver I made for the military ticket, and it will be sent to the bank for the common people to exchange for the military ticket at any time. , my military tickets are backed by silver coins, and they are reputable..." Yang Reform gave another order.

Xiao Shunzi and Li Ruolian understood what the emperor meant. They all knew about the military ticket, and Li Ruolian was directly involved in the exchange of military tickets, so he naturally knew the details.Hearing that the emperor's arrangement was for military tickets, I believed it. Although it was absurd, it was reasonable, because now it is true that ordinary people get military tickets and exchange them for silver coins. The money was wasted.

"Your Majesty understands. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely send someone to perform this play well, so as to make the common people believe that Your Majesty's military ticket is worthwhile." Xiao Shunzi agreed without thinking about it. This kind of thing is actually very simple. , There are more than 100 carts of silver coins, and each cart is loaded with two thousand catties. You don’t need to play tricks, just ask someone to hit him a few cars, and the silver coins will be scattered all over the street. Your wish will come true naturally.

"Your Majesty obeys my orders. I will leave this matter to His Majesty, so that the common people will have more confidence in the military ticket." Li Ruolian immediately agreed without thinking too much.

"Okay, I don't care how you arrange it. Anyway, my request is to make this silver transport known to everyone. The cart loaded with silver must be heavy. Don't be too young to make up the number. If you hit the cart, hit him a few times." The car, spill all the silver coins on the car, let the common people see the white silver coins, and those who are in the crowd, they must explain in time, anyway, it is necessary, to hit the silver coins this time vigorously... ..." Yang Reform said so.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the servant (subject) will definitely do it for Your Majesty." Xiao Shunzi and Li Ruolian agreed unambiguously, this matter is really easy.

"Okay, then you guys go to discuss it, look at this matter, how to operate it, and discuss the details. Tomorrow, I will see the result, and I will make a big publicity in the mansion newspaper to help you expand Influence..." Yang Reform said.

Yang Reform arranged this "car crash performance" not only to perform for the common people, but also to let the common people see their own family background and make the common people believe that their military ticket is very reputable. More importantly, Yang Reform is going to perform for those Xungui, all the officials see, Yang Reform is going to sell the stock. Now, the stock has been frozen and is in the fermentation period. If he wants to sell it or not, it will make those idiots suspicious. Now, he has overturned several cars on the street. Silver coins, this kind of "news" unintentionally revealed, unintentionally exposed, will make those idiots believe that they are not short of money, that their stocks may not be sold again, and that they are reluctant to sell Liulizhai's stocks, causing a lot of trouble. To give Liulizhai the illusion that selling 1000 million taels is not a good deal... The stock price increase is a matter of course.

……

Shaanxi, northwest of Chengcheng, an army of more than 1000 people has surrounded an earthen enclosure called Aizhai.

This soil fence called Aizhai was the old lair of Wang Douyao and Wang Er, the magistrate of Baishui County. He also robbed a landlord's soil fence and rebuilt it. He has been caught and hidden countless times. Originally, he shouldn't have been hiding in this dirt enclosure when the officers and soldiers came to encircle and suppress him. However, the current situation is very different from the previous encirclement and suppression by the officers and soldiers.

Before this siege, there was news of the emigration of the emperor. As long as you walk down the river, you can always find the relief point of the emperor. If you find the relief point, you can survive. The emperor will send a boat to transport you to the south Go, where to reclaim the lake and start a new life, many peasants who rebelled with Wang Er left by night and went to the emperor's relief point. I don't know the road doesn't matter, just walk down the river.The people who ran with Wang Er just wanted to have a meal. Now, not only have food to eat, but also land to share, so naturally they will not follow Wang Er to do this business after eating the last meal without the next meal.

Therefore, even though Wang Er played tricks on the officers and soldiers several times, and the encirclement and suppression by the officers and soldiers were in vain, his men and horses became weaker and weaker in action. Today, there are only more than 200 young and strong people who are still following him. Together, young and old, there are only seven or eight hundred people.

"Boss, you should think of a way! The officers and soldiers are approaching outside the stockade, what should we do? Run or stay, let's make up your mind. This time, I heard that it is the emperor's The new army is a rare elite in the world, and it is different from the old idiots. This time, they seem to have brought a lot of cannons. This time, I am afraid that they are not as lucky as the last few times..." The speaker was called Zhong Guang Dao, he was the one who killed officials and rebelled with Wang Er. In this village, he is the second master.The master he called was Wang Er.

Wang Er sat decadently on the leader's chair, no longer the prestige of the past.Recently, I feel that things are getting worse and worse. At first, there were hundreds of people who followed him to kill officials and rebel. Later, they gradually increased. At one time, there were as many as 2000 people. The famous King of the Mountain, but since the immigrant of the emperor or something, he felt that life is getting more and more difficult. The number of people is decreasing every day, and they are all emigrating for the emperor. According to what he has seen People came back and said that this is indeed the case. Walking along the river, usually at the junction of the river, there are people guarding them. As long as they are willing to follow them, they will give them food. They will also use grain boats to transport people to I went to Dongting Lake. I heard that there is a field built around the lake, and [-] silver coins will be given as a settling fee when it is completed. What is a silver coin? The person held the silver coin and blew it all night just to hear the unique "buzzing" sound of the silver coin. This sound is so special that Wang Er has always wanted to find out where the sound came from. of.

"Master, let's run. We are not the opponents of that group of officers and soldiers. I saw them from a long distance. They are not ordinary officers and soldiers. When they walk, they even take the same steps. How can there be such a thing in the world?" The officers and soldiers? They also brought a lot of cannons. We are afraid that we can’t stand their guns. I think they are now setting up cannons. I’m afraid they will be firing cannons in a short time. When the time comes, I want to run away. I can't run anymore..." The third master said anxiously.

"Master, why don't you say something!" Zhong Guangdao urged anxiously.

Wang Er sat decadently on the leader's chair, his eyes were a little dull, and he said, "Run? Where are you going? There are rivers to the south and west, and the officers and soldiers are guarding the other side of the river. As long as we show up, they will know What's more, there are no boats, the officers and soldiers are to the east, and Luochuan is to the north. However, we dragged our families, can we outrun the officers and soldiers? Didn't the third child say that they have hundreds of horse troops? We Can you outrun a horse?"

"The master, we can't just wait to die like this, or, like before, hide in the mountains, based on our familiarity with the mountains, do those officers and soldiers dare to follow us into the mountains?" Zhong Guang Dao said anxiously.

"Forget it, second child, if we go into the mountains, how long can our food last? I'm afraid we won't be able to eat it for a month..., alas..., there is not a single grain in the fields today, and we can't eat it for a month. As far as the big family is concerned, there is still some surplus food. What do we eat when we enter the mountains? Everyone is dragging their families with them. I, Wang Er, can’t watch everyone follow me to starve to death. I, Wang Er, killed officials and rebelled for Looking for a stutter for everyone? To bring everyone to death, I, Wang Er, am not that kind of person..."

"This won't work, that won't work, so what should we do?" Zhong Guangdao shouted. At the beginning, they killed officials to rebel, robbed big households, and played hide-and-seek with officers and soldiers. However, since the emperor's immigrant After coming out, life became obviously sad, the number of people decreased every day, people's hearts began to disperse, and the team became difficult to lead. With a head, who would follow them to kill their heads?

"Oh..., it's too late, it's too late! If I, Wang Er, killed that dog official one year later, I, Wang Er, would not have ended up like this! Oh, Holy Son of Heaven! Why didn't you ascend the throne a year earlier? Ah! Otherwise, I, Wang Er, wouldn’t want to kill officials and rebel... Forget it, forget it, second child, third child, tell all the men, women, and children in the village to throw away their weapons. The officers and soldiers are here. They all said that they were kidnapped here by us. They are all good citizens. Let’s all emigrate to the south, find food there, and find a way to survive. This place in Shaanxi is no longer a place for people to stay..., you tied me up , send it to the officers and soldiers, I, Wang Er, will bear the responsibility for this crime by myself..." Wang Er said with a vicissitudes of life.

"The boss, how can this be? If you want to die, everyone will die together. I will find them to go all out..."

"Third brother, don't go, they are amazing..." Wang Er shouted hastily.But it didn't work anymore, the person called the third child had already rushed out.

Wang Er's eyes were dull for a while, and instead of chasing him out, he said to Zhong Guangdao, the second in command: "Second brother, you can do as I say, if it's too late, it's too late, let everyone in the village take care of you." If we lost our weapons, we would say that they were all good people who were kidnapped by us nearby, and they were all going to find the immigration point. If the officers and soldiers asked us where we were going, they would say that some of us had already dispersed, and some went along the river. I have immigrated, and some of them heard that the officers and soldiers came to encircle and suppress them, and ran to hide in the mountains. If you don’t want to go out with me, you can also hide your name with everyone. Brother, this life, let everyone find a way to survive..." Wang Er's eyes were bleak, as if saying goodbye.

Zhong Guangdao cried with tears in his eyes. Wasn't it because the dog official didn't let everyone live when they killed that dog official?Now, there is a way to survive, but the head of the family has no way to go this way.In order to find a way for them to survive, the head of the family is going to die by himself.

……

Not long after, there was an earth-shattering sound, and then there was a burst of gunfire.Next, there is silence.

Tears flowed from Wang Er's sluggish eyes. There was no trace of spirit in his eyes anymore. He took off his shirt sadly, tied himself up with a rope, and walked silently towards the gate of Tuweizi. Outside the gate were the officers and soldiers.

With tears in his eyes, Zhong Guangdao ruthlessly threw the knife to the ground.He strode out of the room, instead of chasing Wang Er, he walked towards the back.

Wu Sangui stood under a big tree, observing the fence. The fence was not very high, the wall was less than ten feet high, and it was the kind of fence used by wealthy rich people in the countryside to defend against bandits. , It only takes a few shots, and this kind of earth fence will collapse.Wu Sangui didn't pay much attention to this kind of soil enclosure.

On the soil wall, there were almost no people to be seen, and it was not known what kind of medicine was being sold. It stands to reason that at this time, the two sides should be confronting each other, and the swords are on the verge of breaking out.

"How is the siege situation in each county?" Wu Sangui asked expressionlessly.

"Back to Qianhu, along the Luoshui River, Baishui, Yijun, and the central counties received orders from Lord Bizi to send people to take away the boats crossing the river, and sent people along the river to guard against rebels crossing the river. Send people to guard the main road, now, the rebels have nowhere to go, this kind of soil enclosure is much simpler than the city wall when we practiced, once the cannon goes down, there will be nothing..."

"Don't take it lightly. In this battle, we can't lose. We must win with ease. We must not suffer too many casualties. Otherwise, it will be our sin to hurt the spirit of the new army..." Wu Sangui listened to the news for a while, and after seeing each other The county has followed the pre-arranged arrangements, so I feel relieved. Those who fight may not be able to do it, but they should be fine to guard the intersection. I still have four hundred cavalry. If those rebels dare to run towards Luochuan, then It could not be better.

"Qianhu learned the lesson well."

"Now, I'm not afraid of them running away, nor afraid of them coming out to fight, but afraid of them hiding in the mountains, that would be bad. In this way, we may have to stay here..."

"Qianhu, look quickly, there is a situation..."

Wu Sangui also saw it. The gate of this Tuweizi opened suddenly, and a dozen people wielding knives rushed out, rushing frantically towards the new army's position.

Before the dozens of people rushed to the front of the new army's position, the artillery of the new army opened fire, a burst of bombardment, and then the muskets fired in turn, the smoke cleared, and there was nothing but pieces of meat all over the place.The battlefield became extremely quiet.

On the other side of Tuweizi, the gate is wide open, and no one can be seen anymore.

On the side of the new army, they just fired a round. The new army was filling gunpowder and lead in an orderly manner. Suddenly, they found that the battlefield was quiet. When they looked up, they found that the enemy on the opposite side no longer existed, except for being smashed by artillery and guns. Some of the meat I lost, I couldn't find anything else.

"Qianhu, this..., what's going on? Is it over?"

Wu Sangui took out his binoculars, and carefully observed the situation inside the enclosure through the gate.

"Qianhu, it seems that someone has come out..."

Wu Sangui hummed, put away the binoculars, and could see very carefully without binoculars. Inside the dirt enclosure, a man came out, shirtless to the waist, tied up with a rope, walking through the pile of minced meat with a blank expression on his face. To the new army.
