270 Jiexiu Fan's House
While interrogating, the work of cleaning the battlefield continued. A lot of food, livestock, etc. snatched from the group of people were seized on the spot. Lu Haoshan and the soldiers were hungry all the way, so they simply picked a clean place next to them to camp, resting and eating hot food.
As for the fake king of troubled times, Lu Haoshan was also waiting for Zhao Gongchang to bring him the answer.
The crowds were crowded and the power was strong. Soon, oil flowers appeared on the bonfire again, and the air was filled with the aroma of broth and rice. Lu Haoshan ordered local ingredients to prepare food. These days, food is expensive and cannot be wasted at will. Everyone is very tired. They will still fight in the past 30s. It is time to reward them.
This was just a small ambush battle, with only more than one hundred enemies, and the overall situation was decided after the entire battle took no more than a quarter of an hour. The casualties and seizures were counted soon.
Li Dingguo, who was deliberately trained by Lu Haoshan, finished counting the statistics and came over to report to Lu Haoshan: "Sir, the casualties and seizures have been counted."
"Let's talk about casualties first." Lu Haoshan was not very concerned about the capture. He had already taken it in his hands anyway, so he wouldn't ask too much, and wouldn't find out if he knew it too late.
"Yes," Li Dingguo responded, and then reported loudly: "Sir, this time, the total number of enemies was 157, and 153 people killed the enemy alive. Our troops injured 17 people, of which 2 were seriously injured and 15 were slightly injured, and they did not die in the battle."
Not bad, it achieved an overwhelming advantage, but it completely defeated the bandits after only getting hurt by more than a dozen. Although it was a striking element, it was undeniable that the subordinates he trained were elite enough.
"Well, it's not bad," Lu Haoshan ordered: "You must take good care of the injured brothers. As long as you are the soldiers of our Wenchong Qianhu Station, no matter which one, you cannot give up under any circumstances."
"Yes, sir. I have asked the doctor who accompanied the army to cook and bandage it for my brothers." Li Dingguo said hurriedly.
Lu Haoshan nodded and said, "No, let's talk about what's seized."
"The 18th area of Jianma, 32 longbows, two seven-eyed guns, one bird gun, a total of 122 weapons such as swords, soft, and swords, 300 cattle and seven-headed sheep, 436 taels of gold, 15,362 taels of silver, and three boxes of various jewelry and goods. The detailed list and valuation are still under statistics."
Not bad, the cash and silver alone are about 20,000 taels. These unsubstantiated businesses are really profitable.
Lu Haoshan had already planned to send him a lot to Dong Jian, who was a "uncle" in Fenzhou City. Only by letting him continue to eat, drink and have fun in Fenzhou City can he be more comfortable in the dispatch of troops and condemn generals, and in this way he can also take the opportunity to have a good relationship with such a playboy.
"ah....."
Just as Lu Haoshan was talking to Li Dingguo, a scream suddenly came from the mountain. The scream was loud and shrill, like a ghost howl in the abyss of hell, and it seemed a little terrifying in the wilderness where night had fallen.
Fortunately, Lu Haoshan knew that this was done by Zhao Gongchang to punish those "tongues" who deliberately left behind in the cave and dense forest behind the mountain. This guy from scout is said to be able to perform dozens of tortures with simple tools, so their bad luck fell into the hands of this person.
Although the "King of Troubled Times" had the courage to die, he did not have the luck of "dying". Zhao Gongchang also witnessed the blood wall in Dafu Village and once said that he would not let go of such people lightly, and it would not make them feel better.
Lu Haoshan nodded: "It's not bad. Dingguo, thank you for your hard work."
"No, no. These are all small things that should be done." Li Dingguo was praised by Lu Haoshan and felt flattered.
After saying that, Li Dingguo said carefully: "Sir, the king of troubled times is a wanted person from the court, and there is also a reward. Now that they have been stolen, will they be sent to the officialdom to receive rewards? So that we can become famous?"
"No hurry" Lu Haoshan shook his head and said, "When Zhao Gongchang pried open their mouths, I think this matter is not that simple."
"Yes, sir."
After nearly half an hour of preparation, the battlefield was cleaned up, and the temporary camp was filled with meat. The hungry soldiers looked at the rice and meat and swallowed their saliva. Lu Haoshan didn't say anything and ordered the prepared food to be put down and the meal was held in a team. Lu Haoshan, Tang Qiang, Li Dingguo, Sun Xiong and others also gathered together to have a meal.
While eating, waiting for news about Zhao Gongchang.
Although Li Dingguo was young, his special growth experience made him half a wild survivalist. After the lamb was roasted, he took out a small silver knife to share the meat with everyone. Of course, the fattest and tender piece would be presented to Lu Haoshan first. He is the general of this army and the soul of this army.
"Okay, you don't wait for me to start." Lu Haoshan and others had just started eating when they suddenly heard a familiar voice behind them. Without turning back, Lu Haoshan could hear Zhao Gongchang's voice.
Sun Xiong smiled and said, "Instructor Zhao, who made you so slow? It's so hard to pry a little thief open. If you come a little later, you will probably be able to chew bones."
"Old Twelve, didn't you say it's very fast? Why did it take so long? It's not like your style." Tang Qiang, who was standing beside him, also asked curiously.
They are all old brothers. Tang Qiang is very familiar with Zhao Gong. His sharp eyes seem to penetrate people's hearts and can quickly find a person's weaknesses, and then threaten and induce him according to his weaknesses. Unless he has been specially trained, he would not know that prying a person's mouth for more than two quarters of an hour. Now, it has been more than half an hour, and it is not like his style.
"Stern brother, I don't know my skills. If others don't understand me, you still don't know. The post-Taurus Record we caught in was so arrogant. The interrogator asked me all night, but the guy didn't snorted, and even boasted that he would not frown even when he was tortured to death. He told us to give up. As soon as I took action, he explained all the eighteen generations of ancestors in less than two quarters of an hour, and he cried and begged for death. Have you forgotten this?" Zhao Gongchang said proudly.
The Post Taurus Relic was really tough back then and didn't care about all kinds of torture. At first, Zhao Gongchang couldn't pry open his mouth, but soon found that the Post Taurus Relic would divert attention. When questioning him, he would focus elsewhere, so that he would not feel the pain in his body. This was a bit like the truth that after a person was in a coma, he would not feel the pain even if he used a knife to him. After discovering this secret, Zhao Gongchang tried to pull his attention back to his body and pried open his mouth.
Li Dingguo said curiously: "Instructor Zhao, if he is so powerful, why is he so late?"
"I've asked it a long time ago, but this beast has done so many evil things in Dafu Village, so naturally he can't make him feel too comfortable. He just let him taste the taste of torture. Unexpectedly, this guy is so bad that he only breathes after reaching the 18th torture. I'm afraid he won't be able to explain it to the adults, so he stopped and let him take a break."
Eighteen kinds of torture...
Lu Haoshan felt a little cold when he heard this. Zhao Gong often said it lightly, but the screams that came from the mountain from time to time were probably repaired and their lives were worse than death. Unexpectedly, this guy had such a heavy taste.
"What are you trying to find out, tell me." Lu Haoshan asked casually while chewing a piece of fat meat in his mouth.
As soon as Lu Haoshan finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhao Gongchang. In fact, everyone was very interested in this fake king of troubled times.
"Yes" When talking about the serious matters, Zhao Gongchang said respectfully: "After the words of the Lord, I just interrogated it. This king of troubled times is indeed not true. The king of troubled times has long been killed."
"Tell me what's going on, don't keep it in a silence." Lu Haoshan said with a serious look on his face.
Zhao Gongchang nodded, not daring to suck Lu Haoshan's appetite, and said, "After a small interrogation, when the King of Troubled Times entered Shanxi about half a month, he was attacked by an elite group of horses in Mopanshan area of Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi. All of them were attacked and killed overnight. The group of people and horses destroyed the queen of Troubled Times. Instead of taking their heads to the government to receive rewards, they burned all their bodies and destroyed them. They transformed into kings of Troubled Times, and began to harm the people everywhere, snatching merchants, rich squires, rich gentry, and rich households."
After saying so much in one breath, Zhao Gongchang paused, as if he was angry, and then continued: "After interrogation, they were from Shanxi, and they took the title of King of Troubled Times. They knew that they were from Shaanxi and used their name to do evil and others did not doubt them. So they committed crimes, committed all kinds of evil and fished in the waters. The young ones were the leader. The fake King of Troubled Times was actually Fan, and he was from Jiexiu, Shanxi. The others were the thugs he favored, the guards, and some were the children of their clans."
Lu Haoshan frowned and said, "Secret name Fan?"
"Well, that's right. Speaking of which, the Fan family is also a famous businessman in Shanxi. The Fan family, and Fan Yongdou of the Fan family are the number one big shot in Shanxi. As long as they do business, there is no one who doesn't know him. He has a great reputation and a good reputation. I didn't expect that the Fan family would have such a prodigal son."
Wait, Jiexiu Fan family? Fan Yongdou?
Lu Haoshan first felt that this person's name was a little familiar. When he thought about it carefully, he suddenly felt a sudden shock in his heart: Fan Yongdou, wasn't he the head of the eight great imperial merchants in the Qing Dynasty, a famous traitor.
When he thought of Fan Yongdou, Lu Haoshan was so angry that he gritted his teeth. The climate of the small glacier appeared in the late Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was miserable, and the Later Jin, which had a low production level, was even more miserable. Because it had a weak foundation and poor ability to deal with natural disasters, the eight major merchants in Shanxi were the role of traitors, smuggled grain, grass, ironware, and sold looted property on behalf of the Later Jin Dynasty, and guided them, collecting intelligence, etc., thus causing the Ming Dynasty's policy to lock the pass failed. He was a great hero for the Later Jin to enter the Central Plains. After the Qing Dynasty established the tripod, Emperor Shunzhi did not forget to establish a banquet for the eight major merchants who had made great achievements in the Central Plains, and gave them clothes. Shunzhi also wanted to give them official positions and reward titles. The eight major merchants were flattered and tried their best to refuse. So Shunzhi named them "Imperial Shang".
A trace of harshness flashed in Lu Haoshan's eyes: I have always wanted to deal with these traitors, but I didn't expect that this happened. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
