Chapter 447: Great Retreat (1)
The Black Hawk Imperial Army and the pursuing ancient city regiment that ran away there did not sleep all night.
Liu Lang and the bandit recruits are the same here, or to be more precise, the entire Huadicheng has not been asleep overnight.
When Liu Lang arrived in Huadicheng, except for most of the bandits and recruits, they were still wearing their own uniforms before they had time to collect their military uniforms, all the soldiers had already worn back to the formal independent regiment uniforms. Liu Lang, who had not been given a colonel, stood in front of the ordinary citizens of Huadicheng.
When I heard that the bandits had become a regular kingdom army, and the fat chief wearing a shining golden star collar was actually the leader of Liu Lang and Liu, who was rumored to have defeated the 8th Division in the Battle of Zhonggucheng, the whole city was in full bloom.
Although the important town north of this ancient city was occupied by the Black Hawk Army, it was just the inaction of the soldiers and had nothing to do with ordinary people.
Shang Wenqing, who is still standing by his side, is the most outstanding representative of it. Although he eventually failed in the play, it was a crime of non-war. If it weren't for some senior executives who wanted to kneel down and lick the Black Hawk Imperial Army, they might have lived to the moment they defeated the Black Hawk Imperial Army.
Perhaps it was because of the huge capture of the Black Hawk Imperial Army's supplies warehouse that Liu Lang was very satisfied. In a good mood, Liu Lang asked the second-hand man to call all the fifteen merchants who had hooked up with the Black Hawk Imperial Army. Each of them returned two thousand silver coins. The only requirement was to let them use their connections to stabilize everyone's emotions, and then, there was a big business to hand over to them.
Isn't it touched that the fifteen merchants who operate all kinds of goods in Huadicheng? You know, the second-hand man really exerted his strong subjective initiative and snatched these fifteen merchants into the sky, not to mention valuable items such as silver coins, gold bars, silver jewelry, and even the grains and grains stored in their warehouses were empty, which really made the hamsters at home starve to death.
Han Tianhao, the richest man in Qingning County, almost knelt in front of Liu Lang and cried like a child. Although he personally wrote false information to the Eighth Division to the Eighth Division, given that he had become the most famous person in the Black Hawk Empire, the second man had not snatched the private jewelry of his wife and concubine, and the rest were also snatched clean, and even the tables and chairs in the hall were moved away by the bandits.
The Han family, let alone mice, even giving them rice to death, had no place to eat and the table was gone.
After hearing the cry of this fat man who was fatter than himself, Liu Lang glared at the somewhat nervous man with anger and amused look, and ordered the fat man who had made outstanding contributions to the ancient city group to reward him with 2,001 silver coins.
OK! I cried for a long time and almost cried blindly, but it was worth a dollar. Fatty Han never hated a fat man so much, and almost fainted from anger.
Fortunately, perhaps because of the fat man's pity, Liu Lang whispered a few words in his ear before the richest man in Qingning County fainted. Han Tianhao was stunned for a long time, but he actually regained his vitality. He screamed and ran out of the door, just like he had taken some medicine.
The second-hand man was stunned. The fat leader actually had the ability to be accustomed to ecstasy?
Of course, there is no ecstasy in the world, and Liu Lang is nothing more than giving Qingning County the richest man a little more hope.
The reason is very simple. Liu Lang just told Han Tianhao that the ancient city regiment would retreat to the south of the ancient city, and the massive amount of supplies in the Black Hawk Army's huge supplies warehouse would also be moved to the south of the ancient city. Because the ancient city regiment did not have enough staff, the transportation of supplies would be calculated. All ordinary people who were willing to retreat to the south of the ancient city would pay remuneration with food. Merchants like them who had served the Black Hawk Empire Army and now sincerely regretted, as long as they could use their corresponding strength to complete this large-scale transport, they would receive cash remuneration.
Because it is wartime, all remuneration will be paid five times the weekdays.
The merchant is a businessman. Han Tianhao immediately realized the huge profits. The people used food to pay for their rewards. But if they followed the ancient city group to the south of the ancient city and wanted to survive there, not only would they have to have food but also silver coins.
As long as he hires the people to transport them at four times the reward, he can earn a difference of one-fold commission. In other words, with his 16 merchants in total, the more people he hires, the greater the profit he will get.
As for whether Liu Lang's statement will be fulfilled, Han Tianhao was under pressure. The "bandits" snatched up to 2,000 taels of gold from his house alone, and this alone can pay for all the handling costs.
As long as he can get enough capital, with Han Tianhao's business ability, the Han family will make a comeback no matter where he is.
"Sir, why do you have to pay these unscrupulous merchants and pay such high transportation fees? Diao Ye can't figure it out." After all, the second-hand man still didn't understand Liu Lang's approach. After Liu Lang sent away the merchants who had kneeled in front of him and begged hard, he asked Liu Lang with a little questioning tone.
The goatee standing beside him desperately winked at his newly-fighted bandit brother, and did not stop him from asking questions.
Now the accountant finally knows who the boss is the one who is the one who is Diao Ye. He is actually the leader of the Black Hawk Army who is in the limelight recently. He was so happy that he almost cursed the boss he wanted to serve to death. What does the chief of the family have naturally made sense, so he can explain it to you?
Unexpectedly, the accountant obviously underestimated Liu Lang's love for the slightly cute bandit leader.
Not only was Liu Lang not angry, but instead smiled slightly to explain to the second man: "It's very simple. Although we already have mastered the entire city, they who once mastered the economic lifeline of this city know better than us. If we want to move away from the hills of supplies and retreat, those who are willing to avoid the Black Hawk Army's military fronts, without them, our efficiency will be extremely low."
Seeing that the man with the second man was still scratching his head, Liu Lang patiently explained: "Although they have worked with the Black Hawk Empire, they are still kingdoms after all. As long as they do not harm the kingdoms for the tiger, they will inevitably have to force them, and we cannot completely beat them to death. I give them two thousand silver coins, so I will first give them the confidence to make up for the return, and then let them earn a certain profit from the transport fee to make up for the losses you robbed before. Their mentality is more balanced, and they will not complain about the black situation of the ancient city group after returning to Xini City.
Of course, I am not afraid of them complaining, but if I throw this hot commodity, they have to encourage the people to retreat with us, otherwise they will lose all their money.
What they want is money, and what we want is manpower and a lot of manpower."
"But even without them, we can let the people of the whole city follow us. Wouldn't they be afraid of the Black Hawk Empire?" asked again.
"Hehe, you can ask Mr. Chen about this question, he should give you a good answer." Liu Lang smiled slightly.
Seeing the guy looking at him in confusion, the goatee accountant sighed and said, "Oh, Master Diao, it's hard to leave his hometown!"
Yes, if it weren't for the hardship of the hometown, how could there be nearly 20,000 people still stay in the city when the Black Hawk Army arrived? Even if the Black Hawk Army bullies and plunders in the city.
Then, in the confused eyes of the second-hand man, the goatee bowed to Liu Lang very solemnly, "I would like to thank Captain Liu for his life for his 20,000 people in Huadicheng."
"Counting half city" is "Counting half city" after all, and with his cleverness, he naturally understood the profound meaning of Liu Lang's plan.
It is impossible not to leave. Since the moment the bloody bodies of fifty-four Black Hawk soldiers were placed on West Street.
The Black Eagle Army will definitely take revenge. The ancient city group moved things and ran away. Who is the target of revenge? It can only be the people of Huadicheng.
With the shrewdness of "calling half a city", we can naturally think of these things, but ordinary people may not have this awareness. Liu Lang used money as bait to ask sixteen major businesses to inspire the people to retreat for him, saying that they wanted to move away a large amount of supplies. In fact, it may not be a way to save the lives of the people in the city.
