(0407) "Who's still in there?" Xu Xingxia asked curiously. 【Reading.com】

When the white-clothed army entered the city, the entire Ningxia City was almost in chaos, and people with a little normal thinking should have hid in their own homes and not come out. Even if you don't get liquidated, you have to avoid being injured by mistake! It's good here, it's still in class!

"He Fengsheng." Gao Yigong replied.

"Why hasn't he left yet?" Xu Xingxia is very strange.

He Fengsheng's name, Xu Xingxia knows. The chief Xibin (teacher) of the Qingwangfu Academy, the representative of the Xiguo Zijian, the great Confucian of the world! Speaking of which, it's really a mistake, and it makes people happy. A year ago, Xu Xingxia was ready to send Dongzi to Xiguozi to study, but after more than a year of tossing, he still didn't finish reading. Last time, he came to Qingwang's Mansion to meet with He Fengsheng, but as a result, he met Sawanna again, and it was disrupted again. Unexpectedly, I would see him for the first time at this time, in this place.

"He said we fought our wars, he taught his books, and the two had nothing to do with each other! I think he's right, so I'm going to let him stay here. Gao Yigong replied cautiously. Compared with the fierce and tyrannical Gao Jie, Gao Yigong is definitely a good man and is kind to others everywhere. If it were another commander of the white-clothed army, he wouldn't care about this. They only know how to carry out orders. Even if he doesn't do anything to He Fengsheng, at least he has to seal off the Qingwang Mansion.

"Really? I'll take a look. "Xu Xingxia is really interested.

This He Fengsheng is a bit interesting, at this time, he can still teach with peace of mind. I just don't know, is he making an appearance for himself? Or is it deliberately gambling with yourself? He has the courage to teach, but I don't know if his students have the courage to come and read? If there is, it's a small anecdote.

He walked slowly out the window and looked inside. Indeed, He Fengsheng was teaching. He Fengsheng's age is only about forty years old, which is estimated to be young compared to ordinary Xibin. In terms of knowledge, there may be many people who can surpass him. However, when it comes to teaching and educating people, his ability is second to none in the entire Ming Dynasty. Because, since the age of twenty, he has always insisted on teaching and educating people, and he has countless disciples.

There are also students, and there are quite a few of them, at least ten or more. They listened attentively and paid no attention to what was happening outside. It is indeed not easy to have such concentration! What made Xu Xingxia feel even more surprised was that a considerable number of students taught by He Fengsheng were blind. Their movements are different from those of ordinary students. They can't see, they can't read, they can't write, they only play sign language.

"Inform the troops not to disturb their classes." Xu Xingxia said in a deep voice. Since He Fengsheng has such a mind, he naturally won't seem too stingy. Since you are willing to continue to stay in Qingwangfu to teach, then continue.

"Understood." Gao Yigong agreed, turned around and arranged.

Xu Xingxia continued to move forward and soon came to the hall of King Qing's Mansion. At this time, there was naturally no one in Qingwangfu. Qing Wang Zhu Shuaizin, Qing Princess Su Xiaoxiao, and other concubines, sons, county lords, etc., are all gone. Even the subordinates of King Qing's Mansion have all been disbanded. However, the floor was fairly clean. It is inferred from this that King Qing's departure was relatively calm. Perhaps, he still thinks he can come back.

The huge Qingwang Mansion was already empty, and the small and valuable things were taken away. The rest, it's all big guys. Xu Xingxia walked all the way, and before he knew it, he came to the back garden of King Qing's mansion. In early summer and April, all kinds of flowers in the garden are quietly blooming. In the flowery meadow, there is also a swing. This is the territory of Su Xiaoxiao in Qingwangfu, right? It is said that she loves swinging.

"Lao Wang, have you found anything?" Xu Xingxia suddenly asked. What he asked was, of course, Wang Qinian, who arrived in a hurry. When the city was broken, Wang Qinian had already taken Bai Siwen, Zhang Yi and others to look for traces of gold and silver goods in all corners of Qingwangfu and various manors. The amount of goods in King Qing's Mansion is second to none in Ningxia City, and when King Qing leaves, it is impossible to take away all the goods. In particular, gold and silver could never be taken away without a carriage. I guess it's hidden.

Wang Qinian's task is to find these gold and silver. The white-clothed army made such a big move this time, and the reaction of the imperial court can be imagined. It must be a strong suppression! Xu Xingxia had to quickly increase the strength of the white-clothed army in order to resist the crazy counterattack of the imperial court. And to expand armaments and warfare, white money is absolutely indispensable. According to the most conservative estimate, the gold and silver stored in the Qingwang Mansion will not be less than 300,000 taels. Coupled with the goods of other big people, it is estimated that this time, he will be able to loot millions of taels of silver in Ningxia City.

To be honest, this time, the white-clothed army resolutely took Ningxia City, which was also unexpected by all the high-level leaders of Ningxia Town. They were caught off guard. Therefore, apart from packing up some gold and silver and escaping, they will never be able to take away a large amount of goods. At the south gate of Ningxia City, there are still eagle cavalry stragglers, you take a carriage and escort a large number of goods to walk, aren't you looking for death? The only way is to find a temporary place and bury it. I hope that the white-clothed army will not find out quickly, and there will be a chance to get it back in the future.

In Ningxia City, in addition to the Qingwang Mansion, the governor Li Maohui, the chief military officer Li Guozhen, the Hu businessman Su Mu Puyue, and the beautiful Lin family all have a lot of wealth. Most of their wealth was urgently taken away, and now it all fell into Xu Xingxia's hands. There are also all the silver numbers opened by Jin merchants in Ningxia City, and the silver tickets and silver in the silver number are also included in Xu Xingxia's bag, and it is difficult to fly.

Among them, the wealth of Liu Zhiqiang, Sun Dakun and others was also injured by mistake. At the time of the battle, neither of them was in Ningxia City, so they could only let it go for the time being. Xu Xingxia estimated that all the wealth added up, three or four million taels of silver, there were still some. If you're lucky, you might have five million taels. Compared with the glass business, it is still a direct robbery! It's quick and easy, and it doesn't cost anything. Of course, this kind of business is only once in a city. This time I robbed Ningxia City, and next time I have to go to another big city.

After the city was broken, what Xu Xingxia had to do was to send Wang Qinian to search for them one by one, and all their hidden treasures were scavenged. Now, Wang Qinian arrived in a hurry, and it is estimated that he has made a discovery. If the guess is correct, it should be the treasure of King Qing's mansion, which was found by him. Sure enough, Wang Qinian said in a low voice: "My lord, come and see!" ”

Xu Xingxia nodded, motioned for Wang Qinian to lead the way in front, and the group came to a remote courtyard in King Qing's mansion. The ground of the courtyard has been dug up by Zhang Yi and others, and the mechanisms below are all revealed. Underneath is a large cellar with a sloping staircase going down. Xu Xingxia went down to take a look, and his heart suddenly bloomed. The whole cellar is full of yellow gold, white flowers and silver! It's so dazzling and dazzling!

"How many are estimated?" Xu Xingxia took a deep breath and asked slowly.

"For the time being, it has not been fully counted, but it is estimated that there are about 80,000 taels of gold and about 600,000 taels of silver. In addition, there are some rare antiques, jade jade, rare medicinal materials or something, I don't know the price. Zhang Yi replied cautiously. The deputy commander of the Eagle Cavalry Army was obviously also shocked by so much wealth, and when he reported, his tone was obviously a little big tongue. No way, he had never seen so much money.

80,000 taels of gold, according to the exchange price at that time, could be exchanged for almost 900,000 taels of silver. Add the 600,000 taels of silver in stock, and that's 1.5 million taels. So much wealth is enough for the white-clothed army to squander for a while. If the other goods were also exchanged for silver, the total value was estimated to be more than two million taels. With such a large sum of money, even Xu Xingxia can't be calm, let alone Zhang Yi.

"Is the Lin family protected?" Xu Xingxia suddenly asked calmly.

Of course, what he cared about was not the Lin family's manor. What he cares about is the wealth left behind by the Lin family. The mother and daughter of the Lin family also left Ningxia City in a hurry, and it was impossible to take too much money with them, they must have found a place to hide. With the financial resources of the Lin family, it is still possible to leave one or two hundred thousand taels of silver. Where do they hide their possessions? Where else could they be but in their own homes?

"My lord, it's all properly protected." Gao Yigong said cautiously.

"In addition to the Lin family, there are also Su Mu Pu, Li Maohui, Li Guozhen and others, all of whom must be sealed off. As long as it is a house of a person of status, it must be cordoned off. These places are still useful to us, so don't destroy them easily. Xu Xingxia said sternly, as if it had nothing to do with the white silver in front of him.

…… In the evening of the same day, in the meeting room of the Qingwang Mansion, Xu Xingxia held a summary meeting.

At this time, the gunfire in Ningxia City had long since subsided. Most of the streets have been cleared. A large number of military households brought buckets of clean water and washed away the blood stains repeatedly until they could no longer be seen. If it weren't for the collapsed north gate of Ningxia City, the moat that was cut off by the waist, and still there, a mess, it is estimated that many people would have forgotten the previous war. After martial law, Ningxia City was exceptionally quiet.

Combat briefings have long been out. Most of the defenders of Ningxia City were scattered and fled south. It is estimated that more than 7,600 bodies were recovered at the scene. Among them, in the vicinity of the South Gate alone, there are more than 4,600 bodies. These are all masterpieces of Gao Jie. The casualties of the white-clothed army themselves were probably more than 300 people. The victims will hold a mass funeral tomorrow morning, and the injured have all been handed over to the medical battalion for full treatment.

To sum up, the Demoman suffered the most casualties, and there were several teams, all four of whom were killed. The reason for their sacrifice is that most of them were directly hit by solid bullets. The solid bullets fired by the Franc machine artillery are still very lethal. Once hit, it is either dead or injured. The remains of some of the martyrs are incomplete. This made Xu Xingxia himself, as well as the white-clothed army, have a strong ** for making cannons. Without a cannon, you are indeed going to be bullied!

The council hall of King Qing's Mansion is much larger and more luxurious than the council hall of Weizhenbao, and the hundreds of households in the steward's council, after coming here, with the joy of victory, are naturally talking and excited. The senior officers of the white-clothed army also appear to be more active, and they are eager to try and go to the next level. They even talked about attacking Xi'an.

Xu Xingxia had to cough twice and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, be quiet!" I hope you all calm down first and don't get too happy! Today's battle is just the beginning! The army of the imperial court will soon press us down from all directions! When the Bobai rebellion was made, the reaction of the imperial court only took a month! Li Rusong's Liaodong cavalry came to Ningxia City from Liaodong, that is, it took more than a month! So let's not take it lightly! ”

"Now, we are really on the road of rebellion! This is a road of no return, and only by going to the end and going to the end can there be any possibility of survival. If we can't go on halfway, our little life will not exist! Historically, less than five out of a hundred people have made it to the end. Everyone else died on the way! To this end, we must guard against arrogance and rashness, be cautious and low-key, and continue to do our job well! ”

"I won't say so much. Anyway, everyone knows that we are now a veritable anti-thief, and we are going to be punished by the Nine Clans. If you have to continue to win battles, you can avoid the fate of the Nine Clans. If we lose the battle, it's over. Not only are we doomed, but our families, loved ones, and friends are all doomed! If you don't want to be finished, put away your pride and get ready for a bigger challenge! ”

The atmosphere in the conference hall gradually became solemn. The hundreds of households in the steward's council, as well as the commanders of the white-clothed army, all listened silently and did not say a word. Some people rubbed their palms vigorously to relieve the pressure in their hearts. Some people kept shaking their legs. Others bowed their heads in contemplation. Xu Xingxia was right. From now on, their identity is that they are real thieves. There is no turning back. The army of the imperial court will surely come. If they want to live, they must remind the spirit of the twelve points and keep fighting.

Xu Xingxia glanced at everyone and continued: "Now, let's discuss a few things. ”
