Chapter 36 Suspicion gives birth to dark ghosts

At this time Yang Wenqi had also arrived, and Zhou Boda said to Yang Wenqi and Qian Mo: "The purpose of offering silver to the north this time is very big, and the thieves and bandits from all walks of life are worried about it, so Mr. Qian offered this strategy of 'secreting the old warehouse'. The silver that was escorted this time Not on board."

Then Zhou Boda added: "Originally the silver was to be shipped, but Mr. Qian was assassinated a few days ago. In order to ensure the safety of the silver, it was decided that Ba Shan, the deputy governor of the Eight Banners stationed in Nanjing, would first escort the silver to Zhenjiang for loading. It saved us the trouble of changing clothes."

Seeing Yang Wenqi's displeased expression, Zhou Boda added: "This time, General Bing Yang transported the stones in the boxes on the ship to Chongming for city building, and then went north under the banner of transporting silver. Considering that General Bing Yang The hard work has paid off, and the 5000 taels of silver in the cabin will be reserved for General Yang to reward the soldiers, and he will be rewarded heavily when he returns."

Everything was about the same as Qian Mo expected, the only thing he didn't expect was that Zhou Boda, who had always been nice to him, would turn the blame on him in front of Yang Wenqi this time.It seemed that Qian Mo was plotting against Yang Wenqi, but in fact, Qian Mo himself was not the one being plotted against.

It turned out that Yang Wenqi was tricked by someone, that is to say, he was upset.What's more, Zhou Boda and the others gave him a "jujube" worth 5000 taels of silver.Since the silver is not on board, Yang Wenqi can't do anything about it.

But two days ago, a commoner complained: "Taiping Village under the jurisdiction of Taicang City was slaughtered by officers and soldiers, their heads were cut off and the village was set on fire." Although the government finally refused to accept this commoner on the grounds of "insufficient evidence". complaint.

However, this incident was rumored in Nanjing, and it naturally reached Yang Wenqi's ears.

At this time, Lu Haishan's subordinates who were still in Yang Wenqi's army began to spread rumors, saying: "Lu Shanhai has already testified that Yang Wenqi had ordered him to massacre the village, but this escort mission is too urgent, so the higher-ups must stabilize Yang Wenqi. It's time to settle accounts after autumn."

So when Yang Wenqi heard that Zhou Boda had left him 5000 taels, his first reaction was that the higher-ups wanted to stabilize him first, and then "settled the score after autumn".The so-called suspicion breeds dark ghosts, Zhou Boda's original attempt to appease him actually confirmed the rumor.

But at this time Yang Wenqi was still hesitating whether to run away, maybe it was just a false alarm?
Even if he went to seek refuge with Nanming, he still had to submit a certificate of nomination.If he had 500 taels of silver in his hand, it would be indispensable for him to go to Nanming to be named a knight, and it is even possible to be named a king.Or simply come to occupy the land as the king, and raise the flag to rebel.

But at this time, he had no money in his hand, and he didn't have much supplies. Even if he went to defect, he was nothing more than a military leader, and he was still living a precarious life.

At this time, Qian Ning came, and he was the one who helped Yang Wenqi make up his mind.

Qian Ning said, "Mr. Yang, what did Governor Zhou say?"

Yang Wenqi said: "As rumored before, what we escorted this time is not money at all."

"It's all about Qian Mo's "secret secrets". Let us attract the world to absorb the firepower of bandits."

"But it's a pity, the silver was originally on the ship, and they are going to exchange the silver for the ship in Zhenjiang."

Qian Ning said, "Mr. Yang, this doesn't sound right to me?"

"According to this, they originally meant that the silver was loaded on our ship, but suddenly it was not loaded on the ship. How can thieves snatch silver from the heavily guarded navy? The Nanming navy in Zhoushan from Nanjing to Zhenjiang did not enter at all. Don’t come, otherwise Chongming, Wusong, and Jiangyin have already warned the police! They are not guarding against bandits, they are clearly guarding against us.”

Yang Wenqi said: "But now that the silver is not on board, can these few boats attack Zhenjiang by force?"

Qian Ning said: "Mr. Yang is acting like a lieutenant. In the eyes of us thieves and bandits, this interception is 500W taels. Why do we need to storm Zhenjiang City?"

Yang Wenqi said excitedly, "Brother Qian, what's your plan?"

Qian Ning said: "Yinzi is in Zhenjiang City, so there is nothing we can do! But Yinzi always has to cross the river. They are going north on the canal, so they don't need big boats. Isn't our few boats more than enough to handle those small boats?"

Yang Wenqi said: "Brother Qian's return of the carbine is really fast. When the time comes, we will have money. Whether it is to seek refuge in Nanming or stand on the mountain, we will be able to handle it with ease. If this is done, Brother Qian will take the lead."

Qian Ning said: "If this happens, Zongbing Yang must be the No. 1 anti-Qing army today. The villain can express his position on behalf of the Taihu Rebel Army. We will definitely follow Zongbing Yang to fight against the Qing Dynasty. The villain can also follow Zongbing Yang to achieve success." An unrivaled feat!"

"Master Yang sent someone to deliver the letter quickly, and the family's property can be transferred to my Taihu Rebel Army cottage first, so there will be no worries!"

At this time, the ship had also arrived in Zhenjiang. Since there was no silver on board to be loaded and unloaded, Yang Wenqi's men did not disembark.

As soon as the fleet set sail, Yang Wenqi summoned his lieutenant, Mr. Qian, to his own ship.

At this time, Yang Wenqi said: "Brothers, you must have heard about the massacre of the village sued by people in Nanjing two days ago."

"This time, I, Yang Wenqi, won't be promoted alone. Everyone here will also be promoted. Have I, Yang Wenqi, ever treated you badly?"

All the officers and men replied one after another: "General Yang has shown us great kindness, and we are willing to follow Brother Yang!"

Hearing everyone's answers like this, Yang Wenqi also felt that the army's morale was good, so he said: "I don't want to hide it from you, then Lu Shanhai has already exposed us, but this time the responsibility for the transfer of money is heavy. After we complete the escort, the court will settle accounts later. ! The imperial court listened to the slander of the villain, and did not believe that we were all sincere, and the escort this time was not silver, but stones!"

"Yunshi, isn't the imperial court playing tricks on us?"

"Let us attract the attention of the thieves and be cannon fodder?" the generals said indignantly!
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Yang Wenqi said: "I, Yang Wenqi, like my brothers, all want to settle down in a certain job and live a peaceful life. But the Manchu Qing court doesn't treat us Han people as human beings. We are treated as slaves, it is not pleasing to the eye at all, kill as soon as we say, now we are being put on the neck with a knife, if we don't want to, we will do it!"

"Brothers, we are not going to Tianjin anymore, we will lie in ambush on the Yangtze River waterway. Once there is news that the silver fleet is going north from Zhenjiang, we will rush to Guazhou to grab the silver. With 500 taels of silver in hand, we can honor our ancestors. Anti-Qing and Fuming!!!!”

The crowd shouted:
"Anti-Qing Fuming!!!"

"Anti-Qing Fuming!!!"

"Anti-Qing Fuming!!!"

At this time, I saw a general manager surnamed Huang, who was not so active.

Yang Wenqi asked: "Boss Huang, do you have something to say?"

Huang Bazong said: "Mr. Yang, generals, it's just my guess to settle accounts after the fall. If we rebel, our family members will be implicated!"

Yang Wenqi said: "After receiving the silver taels, if Zhou Boda's 3000 soldiers and horses refuse to follow, they will be ordered to die in the Yangtze River. At that time, the Suzhou area will be empty of troops, and our army will be supported by the Taihu Rebel Army and the Zhoushan Ming Army to control Songjiang and Suzhou. The house is as easy as turning the palm of your hand, what Wu Shengzhao didn't finish before, we can definitely do it! The family members don't have to worry."

"I remembered, Huang Ba is always from the north, and his family members are not in the south of the Yangtze River. It seems that you don't want to join us in fighting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty?"

Yang Wenqi gave him a wink, and only heard an "ah", and President Huang immediately fell into a pool of blood.
