When they saw that the Ming army was very close to their side, the grassroots and the civilians who were in labor service might just feel nervous, but for the escort officers of the fleet, they knew very well that this was the upper class and the Ming army. The Green Camp officers did not know how high the senior leaders of their side were in the agreement, nor did they know which level of the Ming army collaborators were; but they were almost certainly from Sichuan, because when facing the Sichuan army, similar strange things had happened more than once.

The officer who escorted these ten canal ships called his confidants together and avoided the others far away: "I am a thief, Dang Shousu, but I didn't expect that he was also a timid rat. We cannot repay the money back. If the news leaked, we would have to behead us."

If Dang Shousu takes the silver, the officers and soldiers of the Green Camp will kill the labor service person, throw the body into the river, lit the grain ship, and divide the silver. Then report that a small army of the Ming army robbed the grain ship, all the soldiers ran away, and the civilians were captured, who can find out? Even if the Ming army killed the brothers who were escorted to the two ships to silence the silence, they just need to take out the pension silver to compensate their families, and the report was more realistic - we also made some resistance, right?

If everyone can't get the banned money, some people will feel in vain, and they will make a secret complaint in anger, or they will be depressed and tell others that they will leave. How should they explain? Everyone is keeping their mouths tight and leaving the team for several hours, and they don't go back until dark. How should they explain?

"Brother, just do what you say." The person who escorted the ship to the Mingjun camp just now made his statement first. When he broke up in the afternoon, he had the determination to lose his head. After he was killed by Dang Shousu, as long as others were willing to raise his family as per vows - but it was originally a risky pursuit of wealth and honor, and the Ming army has never been embarrassed by the soldiers in the past two years, and sometimes they will also send severance payments. Although this person knew that there was a danger of being killed when he left, he felt that he might not die. After all, Dang Shousu also came from the west, and his style of conduct may also be influenced and controlled by Deng Ming.

However, I didn't expect that Dang Shousu was so powerful that he could actually let go of the money and food delivered to his door in vain, which made it difficult for him to die now.

"It's better to do it as we agreed on. Brothers can't take a vain. I'll sacrifice my life to meet our guerrillas." The leader Qian said, "You can watch the people and the ship first."

Now, we have to do it to the end, but since Dang Shousu has not taken it, it will not be easy to cover it up. Since the Qing army and the top leaders of the Ming army have a tacit understanding, there must be a channel for information exchange. However, the escort of Qian Zong is estimated, and the channel will not be very smooth: if Dang Shousu takes two ships of things, asks here and answers the word "yes" there, it will be difficult to explain the specific amount; but if he doesn't take it at all, the possibility of being exposed is too high, and he must bribe the people on his side.

Everyone turned pale when they heard this. They were a serious crime of beheading. If they hadn't thought they could have been able to use Ming Jun as a guise, who would have dared to do this business? Isn't it still a pity to bribe Shangguan now?

"Brothers are all trying their best, and I can't lose my responsibility." The responsible general shouted: "Don't go back first. If I haven't come back before dawn, you can escape with the money. How many can I escape? I'll just go and fight. If it's OK, we can still see our family."

Qianmao thought that all the things on the ten canal ships were lost, and the guerrillas on the top had to be related. If you want to play, play the big ones, just drag the guerrillas into the water and let him come forward to report that they were attacked by the Ming army. At worst, they would be able to respect the big ones to the general, at least change their way of life.

...

"Liu Ji, you are so brave." After hearing the report of Mr. Qian, Wang Han kept sneering. He just heard from his subordinates that there were suddenly ten ships missing. Wang Han was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, with 20,000 stones of grain and 10,000 taels of silver in it. With such a big leak, the deputy general in charge of this shipment would not spare Wang Han.

With just one order, Wang Han could push Liu Ji out of pieces, but his accomplices were still outside. Even if they were hunting them back, most of the food from several boats would not be preserved.

Moreover, Wang Han was indeed a little moved. He couldn't help but think that when he learned that ten boats had disappeared, his first thought was also robbed by nearby thieves. If he could not find them tomorrow morning, Wang Han planned to report the guess that he was robbed by the camp first. So Liu Ji's idea was actually quite reasonable, because the methods were a bit rough and had not been carefully considered.

However, under normal circumstances, even if there is such an opportunity in front of you, Wang Han would not be allowed to act like a custody and steal. He would still arrest Liu Ji without hesitation, and would not threaten his position for such a small profit.

But the situation in Jiangxi is very abnormal now. Under the pressure of the western Sichuan army, Jiangxi subscribed a large number of bonds. In order to escape, Zhang Chao refused to agree that the Ming army could use bonds to buy Jiangxi porcelain in the future. The warehouse has been hollowed out, and the profits from the porcelain transactions have been discounted in half. In addition, the pressure of the canal transportation task this year... Jiangxi's financial resources have been completely exhausted, and the phenomenon of arrears of military pay has not happened for several years, but now it has suddenly rekindled in Jiangxi.

Not only that, the Jiangxi Governor's Yamen also openly stuffed a bond to the army. Seeing the words "Ming Dynasty War Bond" printed on it, Wang Han was really crying. Shangfeng had already explained that not only can't pay the money now, he can only use the debt book to charge the amount, and he will continue to pay this as military pay in the next year, and the proportion may become larger and larger. Only when Deng Ming pays the money to the Governor's Yamen can Wang Han use this bond to ask for money from the Governor's Yamen.

In order to shirk responsibility, the Jiangxi Governor's Office also sent a very despicable official document to the army, claiming that the Ming army had found a detailed report to promote a "Ming Dynasty War Bond" in Jiangxi. I heard that someone below embezzled military pay to buy such bonds from the enemy country, and asked the generals of each battalion to strictly investigate whether there was any internal incident, and then reported it according to the fact - for the sake of influence, this report must be submitted secretly and not to be known to everyone.

Under the coercion of the Governor's yamen, Wang Han had reported that he had no such incident in the army as his boss intended. He was also loyal to the court and would never covet any interest (it was really pitiful, very pitiful) and did such a crazy thing. Now the Governor's yamen is keeping Wang Han's report. If he dares to threaten Shangguan with his bonds, the Governor's yamen will immediately put the blame on him and punish him according to the charge of turning black and white and blinding the government.

The Governor's yamen can forcefully distribute the bonds to Wang Han as silver, but who can Wang Han distribute them to? If he sends them to his subordinates and is exposed, the Governor's yamen will have his guarantee letter, and he can only die unjustly and then make a case. Therefore, Wang Han not only has to worry about the bonds in his hand, but also hopes that the Sichuan Army will repay the money to the Governor's yamen in a year so that the Governor's yamen can compensate him, but also face the complaints and complaints made by the officers and soldiers below because of their owed wages. In order to appease his subordinates, Wang Han even paid his pocket twice.

"If it were to owe to military pay again and again, Liu Ji might not have done such a thing, right?" Looking at Mr. Qian who was kneeling down below, Wang Han suddenly felt a feeling of being sympathetic: "Get up, what you said just now is a dream and I don't remember anything..."

Wang Han carefully explained to Liu Ji what he should do, that is, he was indeed robbed by the Ming army and threw away everything. If something went wrong in the future, Liu Ji did the matter tonight alone, and Wang Han didn't know the inside story at all.

"Thank you, sir, for not killing me." Liu Ji went out with great gratitude. He knew that his life was saved and he could go home openly. However, he knew that the amount of money to respect guerrillas was indispensable.

"Go."

After sending Liu Ji away, Wang Han thought about it and asked his personal soldiers to call the other Qianshen under him, implying that each of them would report some loss - this was not just to increase his income, but also to make everyone's hands wet, so that no one would jealously report to him.

This time, Jiangxi sent 500,000 stones of grain and 1.5 million taels of silver. Wang Han held about one fifth of the money. He planned to report a loss of 200,000 taels of robbery, half of which was used to appease his subordinates. The remaining half was not only his own share, but also needed to manage the escort deputy generals on this trip.

After explaining the task clearly, Wang Han asked his personal soldiers to carry 50,000 taels of silver to go with him at night.

After seeing the deputy general, Wang Han reported that the army violated the tacit understanding and attacked some of his canal ships. Of course, Wang Han was not witnesses, but reports sent by his subordinates. Wang Han knew that the guilt of Caoyin was serious, so he came to take the blame at night to apologize. He hoped that the deputy general would say a few good things to him for his years of diligence. T

After Wang Han left, the deputy general of Jiangxi's canal transportation circled around the box of silver several times. He was knowledgeable, so he immediately understood that this was not the benefit of saying good things, but the custodial fee could only be the custodial fee.

"You are so brave!" The deputy general cursed in his heart.

Just now, Wang Han apologized and complained. Because of insufficient military pay, the soldiers did not have the morale to defend the canal ship. Wang Han also vaguely mentioned that when the deputy general asked him to subscribe to war bonds a few days ago, he didn't say anything, so he hoped that the deputy general could help him overcome this difficulty.

The subtext of the deputy general inside was fully understood and resonated with him - it was all because of the abominable war bonds. As the deputy general, he suffered greater losses than his generals.

"The governor has bought the Ming Dynasty war bonds. Can't I rob the grain silver for the Ming Dynasty once?" The deputy general snorted and finally made up his mind: "Come here, call me immediately after all the escort officials."
