Chapter 49 The little devil is also very good at making money
Looking at Hu Biao, who was beaten into a hornet's nest, who led a team to attack the City Guard, he also knew that under the circumstances before, the prisoners who rushed into the City Guard were all red-eyed, and when they saw the living, they would shoot and kill them without hesitation.
I originally wanted to catch the living, so I interrogated it to see if I could find out some information. But at present, there was no living person in the entire city garrison. As well as several people living in the city garrison, they were shot and killed by prisoners of war.
War is sometimes so cruel, and it cannot take care of who is guilty and who is innocent!
"Er Shuan, pass me the order and start cleaning the battlefield! Tell those prisoners of war that all the seizures must be handed over, and then reward them according to the merits after the statistics are completed. Whoever dares to hide valuables privately, don't blame me for turning against others."
"Yes! What if they don't obey orders?"
"Hold it first! Go to the military camp and call Tian Sili and the others over. Notify Lao Qin and ask him to withdraw into the city and be responsible for the city gate. Organize a group of prisoners of war to take to the streets to maintain order in the county town and prohibit anyone from raiding the people."
"Yes! I remember!"
I know that some soldiers in the army have a bad style, and their minds will often become impulsive when they win or lose. Hu Biao, who did not intend to stay in the city for a long time, did not want these soldiers to be rescued, but went to harm the people.
If someone dares to violate military discipline and really do things that harm the people, Hu Biao will enforce military laws without mercy. Even if there are not many people under his command who can truly trust, Hu Biao believes that officers like Tian Sili will sell him face.
Most importantly, although these prisoners of war were rescued, I believe many officers were unsure of how to escape from the Japanese encirclement. Now, going to Nanjing to join the main force will be more difficult than breaking through from other directions.
If nothing unexpected happens, Nanjing is surrounded by Japanese troops at this moment. If you want to rush into the city and join the anti-Japanese war forces, the chance of success is definitely not high. If you break through from other directions, you must also beware of the Japanese city defense forces' siege and interception.
Tian Sili, who was commanding prisoners of war to clean the battlefield and count the materials, saw Huang Ershuan running hurriedly, and said happily: "Captain Hu took down the city garrison?"
"Yes, Captain Tian, our captain asks you and other commanders to go there together. During the previous battle, the Japanese commander had been killed. However, before he died, he should have reported the attack on him!"
When he heard this, the officers who were staying by Tian Sili said with a hint of expression: "I'm in trouble now!"
"What are you afraid of? If Captain Hu hadn't sacrificed his life to save him, we would have died in prison. Lao Tian, I'll go with you. Even if I die this time, I would rather die on the battlefield than be a prisoner."
Among these captured officers, some were still afraid of the Japanese army, while others were full of hatred for the Japanese army. The various experiences after being captured made many prisoners of war know the cruelty of the Japanese and decided to die rather than be captured.
In fact, the prisoners of war rescued this time also knew that when the Japanese encirclement and suppression troops arrived, they would probably not be kind to them anymore. Even if they wanted to be prisoners, the Japanese probably wouldn't agree.
In view of this situation, the fearful officers could only sigh: "Let's go and hear what Captain Hu have to do! This place is not safe, and there are Japanese troops stationed in several surrounding counties!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the prisoners of war to clean the battlefield, Hu Biao called Xu Sandao who had arrived to meet up with him, and after whispering, Xu Sandao said in shock: "Captain, have you joined the Military Control Commission?"
"Bad! The Military Control Commission wants to recruit me, but I didn't agree! Okay, you just need to know that this is my transaction with the Military Control Commission. Now we don't know much about the outside situation and urgently need some information from the Military Control Commission.
To bring these prisoners of war to a safe place, the Military Control Commission needs to provide some information from the Japanese army. Taking so many prisoners of war around is likely to crash into the Japanese ambush circle. There are so many people, and today is different from the past!"
"Okay, I get it! I'll call people, or?"
"Let them be in charge come over! By the way, ask if there is any radio transmitter in their intelligence station that can use radio stations. I looked at the city guards before and saw that all the Japanese radio stations of the city guards were just for us to contact the Military Control Commission."
"Yes, then I know! I'll go now!"
"Remember! Just go there alone, don't disturb too many people. The Military Control Commission arranged intelligence stations in these county towns, and each of them is very important. We cannot expose their intelligence stations because of us."
Originally, Hu Biao planned to go to contact the head of the Military Intelligence Station in person, but now he must be on the side of the city garrison. Those prisoners of war who had won the battle did not dare to violate Hu Biao's orders.
Perhaps these prisoners of war also knew that they could walk out of prison alive thanks to Hu Biao's rescue. Even though these prisoners of war were a little disobedient, they did not dare to do anything in front of Hu Biao, the life-savior.
Ingratitude will be despised. These prisoners of war may not have a high level of education, but in some matters, they are very loyal. They cannot ignore the orders of their life-saviors!
Looking at the materials collected one after another, Hu Biao said with a little confusion: "Is this little property?"
"Yes, sir! We have searched every room carefully, and we have not even spared the Japanese corpse, so we found these useful things and money. The brothers did not hide it privately. If you don't believe it, you can go through our pockets."
"Don't worry! I didn't say I didn't believe you. I just think that the Japanese have been stationed in the county for a while, so there shouldn't be only the money. Have you found the room where the Japanese commander rested?"
"Finally found! There is another girl in that room who was beaten to death during the previous battle. It seems that she should be the Japanese devil's mistress!"
"Take me over!"
Just as Hu Biao went to the Japanese Commander's room in person to search for money that might be hidden, Tian Sili and others who were ordered to arrive were soon taken to the Japanese Commander's room and saw Hu Biao who was observing inside.
"Captain Hu, is there any problem with this room?"
Having heard from the soldiers, Hu Biao seemed to not believe it. Tian Sili, who only found such a little money in the city garrison, also asked curiously. In fact, Tian Sili and others also thought it was strange that the Japanese could not be so poor.
Three years of Qing Dynasty magistrate, 100,000 silver silver! Many people have heard this!
Since the Japanese took over the county town, the Japanese have also collected a lot of taxes, and some have also given filial piety to the Japanese. Logically speaking, the Japanese commander did not have the little money that soldiers had found from the warehouse before.
Tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of taels of silver also seem to be a considerable amount of money. But compared to the financial resources of a county town, it is naturally nothing. This amount of money is not enough for a rich man’s home. I think it would be better than this amount of money.
Looking at Tian Sili and others entering the door, Hu Biao smiled and said, "You are here, let's take a look together. Where can the Japanese devils hide their money? Do you believe there are cats that don't eat fishy food?"
"It's really weird! But, I've turned over the drawers in this room, and it seems that there is no place to hide money, right?"
"Really? Have you ever heard of the darkness under the light? Come on, remove this bed for me!"
I had always thought that this room seemed to be no different, and I didn't see any dark room. Hu Biao was indeed curious about where he would hide it with a lot of money. When I saw the big flipped bed, Hu Biao felt it was strange.
With Hu Biao's order, several soldiers who accompanied him quickly demolished the antique big bed violently. When the foot of the bed was broken, a hole was broken on one side of the bed board, and something soon rolled out from it.
Listening to the 'ding-ding-dangdang' voice, looking at the ocean rolling on the ground, the officers standing in the room said happily: "Wow! This Japanese commander is very cunning! He actually hid his money in the bed. He really can't find it if he doesn't remove the bed!"
"Disassemble them all! I also want to see how much private money that old Japanese man hides!"
The money stored in the warehouse should be paid in public funds. The money hidden in the bed is probably the private money of the Japanese commander. In order to avoid people discovering it, they are so careful to hide in such a hidden place.
Fortunately, Hu Biao was more careful and came over to take a look in person. Otherwise, after they left, someone might find out the secret of this big bed. This ill-gotten fortune might have missed Hu Biao and others.
After all the money hidden in the bed was taken out, looking at dozens of gold bars, silver and several large boxes of oceans, Hu Biao couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that the Japanese's methods of making money are no worse than those of our county master!"
