Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 310 Material Distribution
At the south gate of Wuchang, the three Wang brothers offered the city. As the fireworks rose into the sky, the Ming army, which had been prepared for a long time, rushed into the city immediately.

The first team to enter the city was none other than Dai Zhifan's department. In fact, Wang Yan did not inform He Tengjiao's department of the news that the green camp in the city was dedicated to the city. Grain depots, armories, and major yamen, and controlled the residences of senior Qing officials in Wuchang City.

When He Tengjiao heard the uproar in the city, he couldn't help being a little stunned. After he realized it, nearly 2 people from Dai Zhifan's department had already poured into the city, and Li Guo's department also began to prepare to enter the city.

It was only then that the generals of the He Department came to their senses. They were overjoyed, but also felt disappointed. The people under Wang Yan's command had been in the city for a long time, obviously all the benefits had been taken, and they might not even have to drink the soup.

At this time, He Tengjiao was also furious, he repeatedly scolded Wang Yan for being shameless, and then rushed to the city with his troops.

A group of people entered the city, but saw that the city of Wuchang had gradually stabilized. When the green battalion soldiers saw the Ming army entering the city, they all joined the rebellion immediately, looking for the Eight Banners soldiers everywhere, and beheaded them as a certificate of surrender.

After the Ming army entered the city, the Eight Banners soldiers were basically beheaded by the donkey camp. Even the governor's mansion was breached by Zhao Kaiwen, the Jingnan branch guard, and Tong Yanghe and other Manchu officials were captured.

After Dai Zhifan entered the city, he took over the entire Wuchang City very easily.

"Dangdang~" At this time He Tengjiao entered the city with a group of generals, and saw that the street had stabilized. A group of soldiers from the loyal and brave army, beating the gong, and shouting loudly while patrolling: "~ It is said that the Duke of Chu has ordered the army to enter the city. Qiu did not commit any crimes, if anyone took advantage of the chaos to disturb the people, robbed property, or raped a woman, he would be executed on the spot without trial~"

All the generals of the He army looked at the patrolling Ming army and at the corpse of the green camp lying on the ground, so they didn't dare to move rashly.

After the city is broken, there will inevitably be a period of chaos. During this period, the troops entering the city will definitely harass the people, make a little profit, and what's more, they will massacre the city.This kind of thing was done by the Shun army, and the Ming army also did it. There are only a handful of Ming soldiers who can really do nothing wrong, but the people under He Tengjiao are obviously not among them.

Counting the time, Wang Yan's subordinates should have already controlled Wuchang's treasury, and they have made enough money, but they are not allowed to take advantage of it. It is too much, but although they are unhappy, Wang Yan's prestige is on There, they didn't dare to disobey, so they had to suppress their men and horses, not to violate Wang Yan's military orders.

He Tengjiao and his group came all the way to the Governor's Yamen, and Wang Yan happened to be at the door. He saw a group of people approaching with cold faces, but smiled slightly: "The Governor was about to send someone to invite the Governor, but the Governor came by himself. This saves a lot of effort.”

"Is the Chu State Guild kind enough to invite me?" He Tengjiao replied coldly: "I see Chu Guogong wishing that I would not enter the city!"

Seeing He Tengjiao's attitude, Wang Yan was not angry, but walked up to him, and whispered in a voice that only he and He Tengjiao could hear clearly: "Where are you talking, Master Supervisor? You and I have agreed before, Wuchang It is the Huguang provincial government, and the supervisor should be in charge, how could I not want the supervisor to enter the city?"

"Huh~" He Tengjiao heard Wang Yan's words, and his anger calmed down a little: "Chu Guogong's subordinates have almost emptied the treasury! What's the use of leaving the governor an empty city?"

Hearing this, Wang Yan pretended to be aggrieved and said, "This point, Inspector He has wronged me! The generals under the Inspector must have known about the military discipline. If I don't send troops and horses to control some important places first Get up, the silver taels in the treasury fall into their hands, will they still be handed over? The supervisor and I each command one side, with nearly [-] soldiers under them. There is no need to spend money anywhere. If there is no silver, what will the supervisor do? Can you manage Hubei?"

He Tengjiao couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard the words, and then looked back at the many generals behind him, and immediately felt that what Wang Yan said was reasonable, but he immediately said: "It was agreed before that Wuchang will return to the governor, and the people in the treasury You have to leave all the money and food to me. The governor will need a lot of money and food to run Wuchang in the future. If there is no such batch of money, food and grass, if the Qing soldiers counterattack, the governor will not be able to defend Wuchang at all."

He Tengjiao's appetite is really big, and he wants to monopolize all the money and food in the Wuchang treasury, but this is nothing to Wang Yan, because he has expected it a long time ago, and these things were originally planned to be reserved for He Tengjiao.

This year in Hunan Province, Wang Yan is not short of food, and there is not much food in Wuchang City. As for the silver in the treasury, there are as many as 60 taels, which makes Wang Yan very sad, but the real wealth of Wuchang City , In fact, it is not in the treasury, but in the hands of Qing court officials.

Since the Qing court entered the customs, in order to gain the support of the Han gentry, as long as they took refuge in the Qing court officials and scholars, most of them were appointed, and these people were mostly villains, and they naturally tried their best to amass money when they went to the localities.

At this time, Wang Yan heard He Tengjiao's words, but his face pretended to be distressed: "Although Governor He's words are reasonable, but our army has paid a lot for this campaign, and the soldiers also need rewards. This governor can't help but express it~"

"This~" He Tengjiao heard the words, but couldn't speak for a while.

Seeing this, Wang Yan immediately said: "The land of Hubei has gone through this war, and it really needs a lot of money to recover. If the governor and He Dushi share the treasury's silver equally, they can only do it on both sides. If this is the case, the governor will simply fulfill the supervisor and don't want the things in the treasury, but Tong Yanghe and other Qing officials need to be dealt with by the governor. In addition, the governor will go north to Xiangyang, and the supervisor needs to transfer Hao How about Yaoqi and Ma Jinzhong following my orders?"

He Tengjiao was relieved when he heard that the money from the treasury was not divided, and he agreed to Wang Yan's request without thinking carefully.

In his opinion, Wuchang, as the city of Huguang and the most important stronghold of the Qing government in Chu, naturally has a lot of supplies. As for Tong Yanghe and others, they must be killed. It is better to kill Wang Yan than him. Much better.

After all, the relationship between literati in the Ming Dynasty was intricate. A large number of Han officials who voted for the Qing Dynasty in Wuchang City had a certain relationship with Ming Dynasty officials. If they were killed, their families, disciples, and friends would complain. He Tengjiao prefers fame , but it was difficult to deal with, he didn't dare to kill, since Wang Yan was willing to bear the reputation of a murderous madman, why wouldn't he do it?

At that moment He Tengjiao nodded and said, "Just follow the Duke's wishes!"

Wang Yan smiled slightly, after more than a month of getting along, he already knew He Tengjiao's temperament very well. This person is naturally loyal to Daming, but he himself has no talent, but he is very successful and keen on power.

Now, Wang Yan sees him through, as long as he thinks he has taken advantage, everything will be easy to talk about, "In this case, let's go to the treasury to have a look first, and then complete the handover, how about it?"

He Tengjiao saw that Wang Yan was so forthright, but felt a little embarrassed. Immediately, a group of people stepped on their horses, came to the bank, ordered someone to open it, and saw 50 taels of official silver inside, neatly placed on hundreds of shelves superior.

Seeing this, all the generals of He Jun immediately lit up their eyes and couldn't move any more. When Wang Yan led He Tengjiao and his party to the bank, inside several big houses in Wuchang City, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zong The first class, however, led their troops to arrest all the family members of Wuchang officials. The soldiers dug out large vats filled with silver ingots from the ground, and found a large amount of jewelry and gold from the secret room, and then quietly transported them all to Wuchang. At the north gate, they were directly loaded on a large and strong warship, and secretly transported back to Changsha.
