Chapter 303 Breaking the slaves and jackals before they enter the customs, make a robbery (4)
On the day of the Cao Gang's happy days, someone made trouble. Immediately, a dozen Cao Gang's Baihu Hall thugs holding steel knives rushed out of the gate. A leading strong man held the knife in his left hand and waved his right hand, "Pang!" and squirted the thin scholar to the ground. However, the scholar was very unbeatable. He collapsed on the ground and coughed constantly, and black blood sprayed out from his mouth from time to time.
The Cao Gang Literary Office, who was responsible for receiving gifts, also rushed out of it. When he learned from the thug, he was shocked. He first slapped the strong man who hit the man, quickly found someone to report to the leader Bai Wentao, and then kept apologizing to the scholar. The old worldly scholar's office saw this attitude and understood that the scholar was a dead soldier sent by Zhang Ping'an, who wanted to let the scholar die at the gate of the Cao Gang and create an excuse for the revenge that Po Nu Bo was about to be launched.
Soon, the incident that happened at the Cao Gang Gang's gate reached the hall, and Bai Wentao's face turned dark on the spot. Even if you, Po Nubo's power, cannot come to the door to slap in the face when someone celebrates his birthday. It seems that Po Nubo's revenge is today. He sent someone to bring Po Nubo's death soldiers in, and then carefully looked at the scholar who was slumped on the ground. He saw that the scholar was in his thirties, with two swollen eyes under his dark face, and his sparse beard showed that this person was terminally ill.
"Sir, your surname is? Why did Po Nu Bo cause trouble on my birthday?" Although Bai Wentao was furious, he had to suppress his anger and explore when Po Nu Bo Bo would cause trouble for the Caobang.
"Cough... cough! Why do you need to ask the name of a dying person? Wouldn't it be nice to kill the leader of the White Gang?" After saying that, the scholar's eyes were wandering and silent. The scholar who was seeking death was Yuan Zichao, Tong Sheng, Jiangpu County, Yingtian Prefecture. He studied hard for more than 20 years, but he failed even a scholar. The already poor family made him lose all his family.
In addition, he failed the imperial examination again and became depressed and infected with tuberculosis. He planned to die. When Yuan Zichao was about to commit suicide by jumping into the river, he met the Po Nu Army who was traveling by the Yangtze River and brought Dong Heliang to the general. After Dong Heliang rescued him, he gave Yuan Zichao thirty silver coins out of sympathy, and then told Yuan Zichao that he would go back to inform Shangfeng that if possible, the Xuanwei envoy of the Po Nu City would ask him to do the job.
Unexpectedly, the Xuanwei envoy in the Yingtian Prefecture of Po Nucheng happened to be short of a dead soldier who went to the Cao Gang to provoke trouble. Xu Yian was worried about this matter. Dong Heliang returned to the yamen to talk about this matter with Xu Yian. Xu Yian made the decision on the spot and took Dong Heliang to find Yuan Zichao.
Xu Yian took out two hundred gold coins of Ponucheng and three thousand silver coins of Ponucheng and gave it to Yuan Zichao. Xu Yian told him that Yuan Zichao had terminal illness anyway. Instead of waiting for death at home, it would be better to help Ponu Bo Zhang Ping'an get a job. The two hundred gold coins of Ponucheng were the settlement fee for Yuan Zichao to die, and the three thousand silver coins of Ponucheng were the burial silver for him by Ponu Bo Zhang Ping'an. After Yuan Zichao's death, Ponu Cheng Xuanwei sent the yamen to take care of his family's life and gave Yuan Zichao's parents to the end of their lives.
Without thinking too much, Yuan Zichao, who was desperate, agreed on the spot. The money given to him by the Xuanwei Office of the Ponucheng was enough for their family to live a worry-free life for a hundred years.
"This gentleman is unwilling to say his name, so I don't bother to do it. I just want to ask whether the misunderstanding between the Cao Gang and Po Nubo can be resolved?" Bai Wentao, as an old man, knew that the dead man did not tell his real name, so that his family would not be found to be revenge by his enemies after his death. Therefore, the focus of Bai Wentao's question was on Po Nubo.
"Cough... Cough... Cough Master Bai Gang, if I had known this day, why would you have to be the first? When Po Nubo sent someone to talk to you about peace, weren't you very arrogant? Why, now I know that I'm scared! Po Nubo's tough personality is known to everyone, so I'd better give you some fun. Po Nubo might give you some fun! Look at the greetings Po Nubo gave you,"
After hearing this, Bai Wentao frowned. The scholar was giving the face of Po Nubo, who was bullshit and strong. He Zhang Ping'an was a butcher who was vindictive. The Ming Dynasty spread to Po Nubo and killed people like a slaughter and never left any way out for the enemy. Once Po Nubo provoked him, he would never give up without killing his opponent.
"When will Po Nu Bo attack me?" Seeing that there was no hope of reconciliation, Bai Wentao wanted to know when Po Nu Bo Zhang Ping'an would take action.
"Today! Tonight! Cough, Bo Po Nu is here to send a message to the leader of the Bai Gang. He wants you Bai Wentao and the heads of the ruling leaders of the Cao Gang! Bo Po Nu also said that if the shrimp soldiers and crabs of the Cao Gang do not resist, he will kill less people. As long as one person dares to resist with a knife, Bo Nu will wash the Baiyang River bloodily!" Yuan Zichao's bloody words made the people in the hall change their color.
"Bold! If Po Nubo dares to use troops in Nanzhili, it is equivalent to rebellion. Will Zhang Ping'an dare to come to Nanzhili? If he dares to bring troops to Nanzhili, my father will submit a memorial to the court to impeach Po Nubo's rebellion!" Yang Pinshan, the chief magistrate of Huai'an Prefecture, slammed the case and accused Po Nubo of threatening and threatening.
"Your father is Yang Fuchang, the governor of Huai'an! You can really cause trouble for your father. Zhang Ping'an, the governor of Ponu, is now sent to the court and leads the governor of Ponu to fight the thief army to death on the front line of Shaanxi. Your Cao Gang will not be forgiven for cutting off the supply of the governor of Ponu. The governor of Ponu, uses imperial edicts to eliminate the governor of Cao'an, and is famous for his successor. Yang Fuchang, the governor of Huai'an, is not punished for covering up the governor of Cao'an. Even if the thigh of Wei Zhongxian, the castrated man he hugged, Ponu Bo will ask the emperor to take the head of his head."
Yuan Zichao's resounding words caused an uproar in the hall of the Cao Gang's reunion. This Po Nu Bo is really shameless and said that his embarrassing goods were military funds of the Po Nu Army. Of course, Po Nu Bo would say this as an excuse. With this excuse, the charge of Huai'an governor Yang Fuchang's constraining the Cao Gang bandits was established. If the Po Nu Army wiped out the Shaanxi rioters this time, Po Nu Bo would definitely get the emperor's approval.
The scholar's words revealed that the emperor seemed to have issued an imperial edict to wipe out the Cao Gang. As the emperor's slave, the emperor's nephew Cui He, the nephew of the eunuch Cui Futai, immediately changed his face. As the fattest fat man in the inner court, countless eunuchs were staring at the position of eunuch in Nanjing. If he accidentally got into trouble today, he would bring trouble to his uncle Cui Futai.
Therefore, Cui He did not participate in questioning the dead soldiers sent by Po Nubo, but lowered his head to drink. At this embarrassing moment, a firecracker explosion came from the east of Baiyanghe Town, which made Bai Wentao furious. He raised his eyes and signaled his men to go down and see which person was looking for trouble outside.
The skill was not great, and the Cao Gang night patrol thugs, and he supported a blood-covered Cao Gang boat to Juyitang to report: "Gang Master, it's not a good thing. We are surrounded by the Ponu Army! Baiyanghe is surrounded by cavalrymen with the flag of Ponu Army. None of the brothers who went to investigate could come back. The brothers who went up to save people came back. Before he fainted, he said that the Ponu Army had cavalry and muskets."
Bai Wentao, the leader of the Cao Gang, looked like a chameleon today. He was frightened by the shocking news. Bai Wentao, who was so sophisticated that he immediately figured out the countermeasures. If he led the Cao Gang to not dare to resist, the Po Nu Army could frame them and fiddle with them. Therefore, Bai Wentao had no choice but to fight against the Po Nu Army to the end. He decisively drew his sword and slashed Yuan Zichao on the spot, and ordered the Cao Gang to surround him.
Although Bai Wentao did not know how many people came to the Po Nu Army, there were more than 20,000 young and strong gang members in Baiyanghe Town, and nearly 1,000 heroes from the martial arts world who came to help, which gave Bai Wentao the confidence to lead people to resist the Po Nu Army. Bai Wentao, who had a decisive conclusion, was a person who made a decision. He ordered the 13,000 Cao Gang members to gather in the east of Baiyanghe River. The remaining people transported the treasures of Cao Gang, and after he broke through the siege of the Po Nu Army, they shipped all the goods onto the Cao ship.
The young and strong Cao Gang who had not received military training held a torch and piled up an array of incoming formations in the east of Baiyanghe Town. Liu Qingshan, who had been waiting here for a long time, could not see whether the arrangement of the Cao Gang was a circular or square formation. More than 10,000 people, the young and strong Cao Gang stood on the fields, stepping on many flowers and plants. For more than an hour, the formation was still calling brothers, and the rudder of the Cao Gang branch was the leader, in charge of affairs and managing his brothers.
Standing on Liuqingshan on the Sanzhang River embankment, he also saw that less than 20% of the people holding big swords in the Cao Gang were holding a boat and using four zhang poles. The Qingshen Gang members of the Cao Gang seemed to be very in a hurry to prepare, because the entire Cao Gang took too long, and the torches used to illuminate the entire Cao Gang team were extinguished one after another. The managers of each branch quickly sent people to the town to get the torch materials, and the queue that had just become shaped became chaotic again.
Liu Qingshan was not in a hurry to launch an attack on the Cao Gang, because in Liu Qingshan's eyes, there was no need to worry too much about fighting with people like the Cao Gang. The chaotic array of Cao Gangs showed that they were not even as good as the Ming Dynasty's official army, and they were even less than Shanxi bandits. Liu Qingshan had participated in the battle to patrol the Shanxi bandits. He believed that Shanxi bandits had at least had experience in escaping, and the Cao Gang did not even learn how to escape on the battlefield. All Liu Qingshan had to do was to resolutely implement Zhang Dashen's order: to eliminate the backbone of the Cao Gang and eradicate the leader of the Cao Gang.
Under the command of Liu Qingshan, the two thousand mountain troops of the Pou Nu Army were arranged under the river embankment on the east side of Baiyanghe Town, and three standard cavalry columns with distinct levels were listed on the east side, and three cavalry columns on the north side. The five hundred heavily armored cavalry of the Pou Nu Army were divided into five hundred-man teams, arranged south of the main force, and behind the cavalry teams on the east side, fifty crossbows aimed at the fleet gathered in the wharf.
Given that the wait time of the slave army was waiting too long, Liu Qingshan issued the first order tonight: "Fire guns at all the docked ships on the pier, and never let a canal ship run away!"
The crossbows of the Pou Nu Army dragged sparks in the night sky and smashed the cannon boats a mile away. As the shell exploded, more than one hundred large cannon boats burst into flames. Rounding rounds of ships flew towards the cannon boats, and the fire on the dock became even bigger. Even the small fast boats used for ferrying and sampans could not escape the ravages of the Pou Nu Army. The sparks splashed around ignited the small boats beside the cannon boats. In order to avoid the sky-surgent flames, the cannon sailors left at the dock jumped into the water regardless of the cold and biting river water.
Seeing the new style invented by Zhang Dashan, Liu Qingshan sighed in his heart that Zhang Dashan only increased the proportion of saltpeter in **, and the explosion and burning of shells was comparable to the "*" combustion effect. Zhang Dashan is a real god! If Zhang Ping'an, commander of the Pound Army, sees the battlefield arrangement of the Pound Army tonight, he will definitely scold Xu Yian, Liu Qingshan, Wang Hua and others. (To be continued)
