Chapter 84: Maximizing Profits
The resistance of the remnants of the Tianshun Gang was much weaker than Tang Han imagined, and it could even be called vulnerable.
Although the deputy leader of Xu Zitong, who was the leader, was Du Zitao's sworn brother, this man was very smart and judged some clues from the fact that the city gate opened half an hour late today, it was just a clue.
Even if he had the imagination of the sky, he would not have thought that the domineering and arrogant Tianshun Gang would be destroyed overnight. So in the face of Du Tiancheng's order to withdraw their city, Xu Zitong had a little doubt and refused to open the door.
Tang Han didn't have time to hang out with him, so he let Gao Zhandao attack tentatively, but was shot back by Xu Zitong's rain of arrows.
In fact, these bows and arrows were planned to be used by the Tianshun Gang to deal with the "wolf thieves", but unexpectedly, they are now used by Tang Han and the others.
Facing this warehouse surrounded by high walls, everyone was a little frown.
Without the equipment to attack, these four high walls will be difficult to break through for a while. If you forcefully attack, you will suffer heavy losses.
Everyone looked at Tang Han and waited for him to make a decision.
Suddenly, Li Qingzhu volunteered: "Brother Tang, let me take people with me. My sisters are definitely not inferior to men when it comes to being brave. Give me a stick of incense, and we will definitely be able to take this warehouse."
Tang Han saw that she looked serious and determined, and knew that she sincerely asked for a fight.
Moreover, he looked at the Five Hundred Detachments of Women who were standing in line not far away, and found that they had the urge to try, and couldn't help but look up to Li Qingzhu even more.
It is not easy for a group of women to dare to fight, be able to fight, and seek to fight. This is also more admirable.
Tang Han shook his head and said, "It's not time to fight hard yet, wait a minute, I have my own arrangements."
A look of disappointment flashed in Li Qingzhu's eyes, but she still stood aside and didn't say anything. After saying this battle, she completely followed Tang Han's command, so of course she would not be willful.
Tang Han didn't expect that this cute girl was actually a militant, so she comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let you come in vain. If you want to fight, follow me, there will be more wars in the future."
Li Qingzhu was only excited again when she heard this, and her disappointment was wiped out. Moreover, she could not help but glance at Tang Han with a gloomy and shameful look, smiling like a flower.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves sounded rapidly. Everyone looked back and saw more than a dozen riders rushing towards Tang Han and stopped ten steps away from him.
It turned out that Ji Gang was escorting Du Zitao back.
Ji Gang got off the horse and trotted to Tang Han and whispered: "Your Majesty, everything goes well, and you have a huge harvest."
Without further ado, Tang Han understood what he meant, was overjoyed, nodded and said, "Take Du Zitao here."
Soon, Du Zitao, who was listless, was brought over, and when he saw Tang Han, he was still very afraid in his eyes.
The scene of Tang Han killing all directions last night made him feel scared. In addition, he is now afraid of death and has more desire to survive. Life and death are all in Tang Han’s thoughts, and he is even more nervous and frightened when facing Tang Han.
"Du Zitao, if you can persuade your brother Xu Zitong to surrender, I can guarantee not to kill you. If you can't do it, I can only kill you first and then kill Xu Zitong. Do you understand?" Tang Han looked at Du Zitao and said angrily.
But this kindness made Du Zitao even more scared in the eyes of this scared guy, and he nodded quickly like pounding garlic.
Tang Han nodded and signaled him to go up and persuade him to surrender.
Du Zitao approached the wall tremblingly and shouted inside. The content of the call was nothing more than the only thing they surrendered, and Tang Han would never hurt their lives.
Xu Zitong finally showed his head from the high wall, and this cunning guy showed up for the first time.
Tang Han had already bent his bow and arrow. When he saw Xu Zitong appearing, he immediately bowed like a full moon. An iron arrow shot away like lightning. Almost as the bowstring sounded, it reached Xu Zitong's chest.
Xu Zitong's souls were all exposed and he hurriedly swung his sword to block it, but it was too late. The iron arrow penetrated his chest without any obstacles and shot directly through his body, even nailing everyone behind him to the ground.
Xu Zitong fell down without saying a word.
Du Zitao, who was calling to him, looked at this scene, dumbfounded, standing there with horror on his face.
"Attack!" Tang Han seized the opportunity and gave an order. Gao Zhandao's 300 men and Li Qingzhu's 500 women's army rushed forward.
These Tianshun Gang Yu Zhong in the high wall had no fighting spirit, the leader of the gang was captured, and the military advisor rebelled. If Xu Zitong had not forced his suppression, these people would have put down their weapons and surrendered long ago.
At this time, as soon as Xu Zitong died, they completely lost their fighting spirit. Only a few arrows shot out from the high wall, and they were easily blocked.
After one stick of incense, the entire warehouse was taken down, and more than 300 Tianshun Gang members knelt on the ground and surrendered.
Tang Han made a concerted effort and sent someone to take down three other smaller warehouses.
From last night to today, in less than a day, all the industries of Tianshun Gang have fallen into Tang Han's hands.
With Du Tiancheng as his helper, the Tianshun Gang's industry details were basically clear. Ji Gang found several accountants and followed Du Tiancheng to receive the registration.
Li Qingzhu sent someone to take on the guardian tasks of these warehouses outside the city.
Fortunately, they are all capable people, so Tang Han doesn’t have to worry about these things at all, and they are all done in an orderly manner.
When he knew that Tang Han was back to the courtyard behind Fugui Building to rest, Ji Gang reported in detail about the details of the opening of Wurihai small treasury.
"Your Majesty, Wurihai's small vault is bigger than we thought. After a preliminary inventory, there are at least one million taels of silver alone, and there are some other jewelry. In addition, in the lower secret room of the small vault, there is an account book, which records the incoming and outgoing records of Wurihai's money over the past two years."
Ji Gang still feels a bit incredible when he talks about it.
"Oh? Have you brought the account book back?" Tang Han asked in his heart.
"Bring it back." Ji Gang nodded, took out a thick account book from his arms, handed it to Tang Han with both hands.
Tang Han took it and read it quickly and found that the main content of this account book was the records of his input from Tianshun Help and other channels in the past two years. In addition, the second half recorded the funds he gave to a boss of the Xia Empire court.
Tang Han wanted to know who the boss was, but after searching, there was no clear record. He only found the word "dragon" on one of the pages.
Could it be a minister named Long?
Tang Han is basically ignorant of the Xia Empire court at present, so he doesn't know if there is really a minister named Long.
"Is this thing useful?" Ji Gang asked.
"Save it for now, maybe it will come in handy in the future." Tang Han handed the account book to Ji Gang again.
He told Ji Gang for a while, and suddenly his personal guard came to report that it was Gao Zhandao who sought to see him.
Soon, Gao Zhandao came in quickly, first greeted Tang Han and then greeted Ji Gang.
"Zhan Dao, what's the situation with the prisoners?" Tang Han looked at Gao Zhandao and asked.
"Reporting to the leader of the gang, most of the prisoners are willing to join our Tianxia Association. The subordinates have people eliminated those who have more evil deeds on weekdays, and the rest have no evil deeds, and the young and strong ones have been left behind. As for whether to be enrolled in the city defense center or join the Tianxia Association, please make a decision." Gao Zhandao said in a deep voice.
"Let's be organized into the city defense center first. Although the world will be in the name of a gang, it is to serve as our logistics and reserve forces. These prisoners have a strong gang atmosphere, so let them go to the city defense center to serve as a soldier and temper them." Tang Han said after pondering for a while.
Tang Han said the word "Reserve" before, so Gao Zhandao can understand it.
"Your Majesty, can you recruit troops from all over the city and join the city defense center?" Ji Gang suddenly said.
Tang Han pondered and shook his head and said, "It's not too late yet. Although we destroyed the Tianshun Gang, the name of our World Association is still unfamiliar to the people of the entire Beidi County. We must first take on the city defense ourselves, and then integrate all the forces in the city. When our reputation is loud enough and the people trust us enough, it's not too late for us to recruit soldiers."
Tang Han's meaning is also very clear. The world will establish a reputation in the hearts of the people of Beidi County. First of all, it must have a good reputation and must not be as domineering as the Tianshun Gang.
The second is to show enough strength to convince the people.
It's just the beginning, and even the recruitment effect will not be very good. Moreover, Tang Han now has enough capital to summon enough base soldiers to guard the county city.
Once the Tianshun Gang was destroyed, there was only one Wurihai left.
It is safe to stay at the border of Wurihai. If he comes back, it will be almost like he is seeking death. Tang Han is confident that he can kill it in one fell swoop.
Ji Gang nodded to show his understanding.
Gao Zhandao looked at Tang Han, opened his mouth and felt a little reluctant to speak but stopped.
"Zhan Dao, you don't want to ask me how to deal with Du Zitao's affairs." Tang Han looked at him and smiled.
Gao Zhandao was stunned, as if he didn't expect Tang Han to have such sharp eyes and agile mind. He hesitated for a moment and nodded, and then said, "In fact, the Tianshun Gang can be destroyed, even if he has avenged the old leader of Qi. The leader has agreed not to kill Du Zitao, I shouldn't have made things difficult for the leader. It's Zhandao's ignorance, please forgive me."
Tang Han looked at him reluctantly and smiled and said, "Since I promised you to use Du Zitao's head to pay tribute to the old leader Qi, I will naturally count. That's right, I promised Du Zitao not to kill him, but if others want to kill him, I can't do anything."
Gao Zhandao was stunned when he heard this, suddenly became overjoyed, and suddenly knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you for your commitment, Zhan Dao knows what to do."
Tang Han said: "When you have paid tribute to the old leader of Qi, you will send the head to the Heihu Gang and the fourth gang to go around. What should you know about it?"
Gao Zhandao nodded repeatedly and said, "Please rest assured, the benefits you said are maximized, I understand."
Tang Han looked at him and secretly praised him in his heart, "The boy is teachable."
It would be useless to keep Du Zitao for no reason. The dead Du Zitao is the real benefit for Tang Han.
