Chapter 118 The Huge Treasure House (Seek follow-up)

The bitter north wind whizzed past, sweeping across the entire Yangma Mountain.

Although the Shangyuan Festival has passed, the temperature in the northern mountainous areas is still extremely low.

In this season when the breath turns into ice, the thousands of Qingzhou soldiers guarding the Yangmashan silver mine are actually miserable.

The laborers who mined the silver mines were all criminals from this state and the soldiers who had been exiled by the imperial court to Qingzhou. Of course, there were also many farmers who were kidnapped by Liu Gao.

Even though the defenders were too cold to hide in the camp and did not go out, the miners still went to work indifferently, digging and transporting ore, screening, smelting, and the one-stop production line was running slowly.

A total of 500 people from Hua Rong and Yue Fei had already joined forces, but the army horses rushed here, and found that the entire mine was silent, and a group of miners did not escape when there was almost no one guarding them. This situation made Yue Fei frown.

Hua Rong couldn't hold back, and was about to lead the army to rush in and take down this private silver mine that was not on the official list of the imperial court, but was stopped by Yue Fei.

Although this young battalion-level commander under Wang Lin's command is young, he is unusually calm, capable, and appears calm and unhurried. This kind of demeanor reminds Hua Rong of many veterans who have served in the army for many years.

"Commander Yue, the silver mine is empty, the defenders must be huddled in the camp to avoid the cold, so shouldn't our army take advantage of the emptiness and take the silver mine in one fell swoop?"

Yue Fei shook his head: "Hua Zhizhai, the situation is a bit abnormal. It is said that even if the garrison of 1000 people is huddled in the camp, it is impossible that there is not even one sentry post. Besides, didn't you realize that these hard laborers are actually They continued to work without supervision, and no one escaped."

Yue Fei looked at the surrounding environment and terrain of the mine while speaking, and his gaze soon fell on the steep slope opposite the silver mine.

In fact, the silver mine has gradually formed a huge groove area due to years of excavation. This is the direction where the Fuhu army soldiers and horses come. There are cliffs on both sides, and there is only a narrow path in and out. steep slope.

There are dense forests on the steep slope.

Yue Fei's complexion changed slightly.

Fuhu army enters the silver mine, once the retreat route is cut off and blocked, it will become a turtle in the urn.

And if Fu Jun rushed down from the opposite steep slope, the 500 people he and Hua Rong jointly commanded would be caught off guard.

"Is Commander Yue worried that there is an ambush here?"

Hua Rong smiled lightly, and said indifferently: "Hua knows that Yue commanded the march carefully, and also knows that the terrain of this silver mine is dangerous. If someone cuts off the back road and is ambushed again, the consequences will be disastrous. But..."

"Has Commander Yue ever thought about the importance of speed and the so-called surprise attack is the way to win. There are only 500 defenders here, but our army has 500 people. If a thousand people ambush [-] people, our army There is still a chance of winning. If our army delays here, it will be too late if Zhai Sheng's Zhenhai comes here."

Yue Fei still looked at the steep slope opposite in silence.

After a long time, he said: "Huazhi Village, can you send someone to detour to the steep slope from the side?"

Hua Rong shrugged his shoulders and smiled wryly: "This place is full of mountains and steep peaks. Commander Yue has also seen it. If you want to make a detour, you must at least climb over that mountain and make a detour from Laizhou. There is no time for a day and a night. , is absolutely impossible.”

Yue Fei pondered for a moment, then waved his hands and said: "Wang Gui, lead a battalion slowly into the mine, remember, but if something goes wrong, you can only move forward bravely, and you must not take half a step back!"

Wang Gui got the order, and immediately led 500 people from his subordinates to raise the banner of the Fuhu Army, shouting to kill and hiding.

Sure enough, as Yue Fei expected, not long after the first battalion of Wang Gui entered the bottom of the mine, arrows were fired from the steep slope opposite, rolling stones like rain, and the ambush army was divided into left and right wings, rushing down a group of at least 2000 people. Soldiers and horses come, under the dual banners of the Zhenhai Navy and the Qingzhou Army!

Sure enough, it was the town navy under Zhai Sheng's command. After massacring Qingfeng Town, they ambush here with the original defenders to prevent the Fuhu army from attacking the silver mine.

Wang Gui shouted immediately: "Boys, the murderer who slaughtered the people of Qingfeng Town is here. We should go forward bravely, kill them all, and avenge the people!"

Wang Gui was the first to rush forward, and the five hundred subduing tiger troops under his command also rushed forward bravely against the rain of arrows.

Yue Fei sneered coldly, he had already seen that the town's navy was dominated by infantry, although there were many in number, the army was not uniform, and it was no match for the Fuhu Army with high morale, so he immediately shouted: "Beat the drum! Help! "

Yue Fei immediately cupped his fists at Hua Rong and said, "Hua Zhizhai, Fan Lao leads the headquarters to cover up from the right, and I will lead a battalion to outflank from the left!"

Hua Rong was ordered to brandish a spear on the horse, leading more than [-] people from the headquarters to enter from the right side, and the first battalion of the Fuhu Army covering Wang Gui rushed up the steep slope, and launched a head-on collision with the ambushing Qingzhou and Zhenhai troops!
The military drums were as dense as rain, and Yue Fei led a battalion of Niu Gao's men and horses galloping in.

His battalion is full of brave cavalry, which is the elite cavalry of the Subduing Tiger Army that he has painstakingly trained in the past six months. They are not only equipped with longbows, short crossbows, but also rockets.

When the two armies are at war, especially when the terrain is dangerous and the opponent is fully prepared, the key to victory depends on the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the two sides and whether they have the supreme momentum of the brave winning when they meet on a narrow road.

Although the Fuhu Army has not been in the army for a short time, it has maintained high-intensity training, coupled with generous logistics and material support, and Wang Lin's financial reward system, so no matter whether it is combat power or morale, it is not a silver mine guard. The military can compare.

Wang Gui sent dozens of people to attack the garrison camp.

Taking advantage of the situation, a big fire was set off, and the fire was ignited with the help of the wind. This fire caused the Qingzhou defenders who came down from the heights to attack, and the morale of the Qingzhou defenders was instantly in chaos!

The reason why they insisted on staying in this bitter cold place for two years was entirely because of the temptation of profit.

Gathered in the camp were the vain money they secretly saved and rewarded by their superiors over the years. It was their family allowance for a better life in the future, and almost everyone hid a small bag.

Seeing the camp turned into a sea of ​​flames, the defenders immediately yelled to give up fighting with Wang Gui's army and horses, and rushed directly to the burning camp!

The so-called death of man for money and death of birds for food, thousands of Qingzhou defenders were defeated and ran towards the camp without any fighting spirit in an attempt to save their belongings. After rushing down, the Qingzhou army suffered countless casualties.

Hua Rong's men came over to kill them, and Yue Fei raised the flag high in his hand, and Niu Gao shouted: "Boys, go, kill all these bandits, and be rewarded for your service to the court!"

Niu Gao led [-] cavalry to brave the arrows against the current, shouting to kill Zhentian, and gradually merged with Wang Gui's other battalion. Support, it is simply difficult to resist the brave attack of the two battalions of Fuhu Army.

……

Qin Ming and Huang Xin's [-] Qingzhou Army were all reorganized by Wang Lin's Fuhu Army. Qin Ming and Qin Ming returned home to live in peace, temporarily suspended from duty and waiting for resettlement.

Qin Ming had been in the officialdom for many years, how could he not know that as an important subordinate of Murong Yanda, it was impossible for Wang Lin to let the two of them continue to lead the army until the suspicion was completely cleared.

So he took the initiative to hand over his military power, and Wang Lin was happy to see it succeed.

The Fuhu army entered Qingzhou City and took over the city defense.

Li Kui and Wu Song led a battalion from the headquarters to rush into Murong Mansion and imprisoned more than [-] family servants under Mrs. Murong.If it weren't for Wu Song's control, relying on Li Kui, he would have killed Murong Yanda's family members one by one earlier.

Digging three feet from the mansion, they discovered the treasure house built by Murong Yanda in the underground of the mansion. The amount of silver stored in it was astonishingly large, almost 500 million taels!

Ordering the soldiers to break through the thick iron gate about three feet wide and two feet high, Wu Song and Li Kui stood at the door of the bank and looked in, and couldn't help taking a breath together.

Such a gigantic treasury is spread all over the ground of the Murong Mansion, and white silver ingots are randomly piled up into mountains, stained with a lot of dust. The two of them reckoned that so much silver would be transported away by the soldiers, and it would be difficult in a month. Finish.

Li Kui couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Second Brother Wu, my God, this...is too much, isn't this money enough for the people of Qingzhou to eat and drink for a lifetime?"

Wu Song clenched his hands and said solemnly: "Brother Li Kui, I warn the search soldiers that no one is allowed to covet them privately. The military envoy has strict orders. Anyone who dares to get involved with a tael of silver will be killed without mercy!"

Li Kui laughed dryly and waved his axe: "Second brother, don't worry, anyone who dares to be greedy for money doesn't need my brother Wang Lin to use military law to deal with him, I will hack him to death with an axe!"

Of course, except for a very small number of people, no one knows that Murong Yanda's mansion stores huge wealth that can be used by enemy countries.

500 million taels of silver!

At this time, the annual treasury revenue of the Northern Song Dynasty during the Huizong period of Song Dynasty was only 8000 million taels of silver!
Among them are the wealth in the southeast, the great profits in the south of the Yangtze River, the commerce and trade in central Sichuan, and the economic contributions of Huaixi and other parts of the world. Murong Yanda just mined a silver mine in Qingzhou!
It can be seen from this that the wealth of the world has basically fallen into the hands of the rich and powerful and evil gentry everywhere.

When Wang Lin heard the news, his expression was gloomy and cold.

After all, Murong Yanda privately mines silver mines, so it is not surprising that he has accumulated such a huge personal silver reserve. However, Murong Yanda's income over the years is definitely more than this, which means that at least no less than several million silver has been sold by him. As a slush fund for hooking up and down.

Such a huge chain of interests obviously involves many, many people, including those dignified senior officials in the DPRK and China.

"Yan Qing, search carefully, and you must find the key evidence in the Murong Mansion that he connected the inside and outside!" Wang Lin slowly got up: "Immediately seal up these money, and no one is allowed to disclose it to the outside world!"

Yan Qing took the order and left.

After Yan Qing left, Wang Lin went to the treasure house by himself, and was also amazed.

Good Murong Yanda, if he hadn't brought Fuhu Army to Qingzhou this time, his private silver mining business would have continued for several years, and the huge wealth he had amassed would definitely give rise to a rebellious heart in the future.
