Zongwu: Madam, please respect yourself

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I can trade a secret for my life."

The sword was pierced into the chest.

This general from the Zhengbai Banner of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not willing to close his eyes.

He knelt on the ground.

Watching blood dripping onto the ground through the blade of the sword drop by drop.

His face was full of fear or unwillingness to die.

The fear was evident on his face.

"Oh? What kind of secret?"

Wu Gong used force to pull out the wheels that were stuck in the soil, and placed the carriage smoothly on the ground.

Without exception, these corpses had been stabbed through the heart by a sword.

The swordsmanship of the Five Lotus Buddha Mothers is extremely exquisite. Their swings are as fast as lightning, as fast as thunder, extremely strong yet extremely gentle. This kind of swordsmanship can also be ranked at the top level in the entire world.

Even these Manchu soldiers were wearing battle armor.

But there is still only one way to die.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Wu Gong looked curiously at the Manchu general.

"I know! They are transporting gold recently!"

Not far away, a red-haired ghost who had been tied up jumped up from the ground.

He spoke Chinese that was not very mature, and his tone was very strange, but everyone present could understand what he meant.

"gold?"

Wu Gong repeated this sentence, and the red-haired ghost in the distance continued: "Yes, a lot of gold, millions of taels in total. This is the gold that these long braids snatched from your Song Dynasty." . Originally, they buried the gold, but recently we found out where the gold was buried, so we wanted to dig out the gold again and transport it back to Kyoto to hide it!"

The people in Wugong looked at each other, but General Manqing's face turned pale.

In addition to excessive blood loss, it was also because his final trump card was revealed in advance.

But he still didn't want to die like this.

But as if grasping the last straw, he said: "I have a more detailed transfer map in my hand. This red-haired ghost must not know the detailed route of the transfer and the escorting force. As long as you can spare my life, I am willing to Offer this with both hands."

As the Manchu general spoke, he took out a blueprint stained with blood from his arms.

Wu Gong took the drawing casually.

A strange smile appeared on his mouth, "Then this drawing is a hand-copied version! It seems that you also have ulterior motives!" A green light was ejected casually, helping the Manchu Tatar in front of him stop his chest. The blood was constantly spraying out: "Tell me, what else are you hiding that you might as well tell? Now I am the only one who can save you in this world."

The Manchu general was silent for a while and said: "This batch of gold was buried by Emperor Shunzhi back then. At that time, we didn't think we could hold on to the territory we conquered, so we melted all the gold we found at that time into one piece. There were nuggets of gold ingots, and no policies or notes were left behind, only a burial place was left. Later, I didn’t expect that the Song Dynasty was too weak and incompetent. We had secured the power in the north, so the gold was buried in the deep underground.

Now, the war situation ahead is blocked, and millions of taels of silver are being spent every day as military expenses. In desperation, Lord Obai wants to use this part of the gold, and finds a suitable reason to dig up this batch of gold. Come out. The amount of this gold is not recorded in detail, so we are prepared."

"Be prepared to line your own pockets and guard your own pockets."

Wu Gong nodded, but an idea came to his mind. He pulled Li Mochou aside and said, "Empress Wu's military expenses are not very sufficient, right?"

Li Mochou raised her eyebrows and immediately showed a jealous expression, "What? Are you going to make this batch of gold and send it to her? I'm not trying to hit you, millions of gold carriages are just the least amount of gold carriages. It takes more than a dozen vehicles, and just relying on our small number of people to transport them will not be enough."

Wu Gong grinned. Of course he knew this, but he obviously thought further: "If the Manchu and Qing Dynasties use this batch of gold, the situation on the frontal battlefield may be reversed. If the red-haired The ghosts have been beaten down, there is no chance they will go south!

After all, compared to the bitter and cold land in the north, the rich land in the south obviously attracts their attention more.

We also know now that this Oboi wants to usurp the throne.

It's just that many people within the Manchu Qing Dynasty opposed it.

But everyone has a price, and as long as Obai takes over the fertile land in the south, no one in the world will be able to put up a price in front of him.

Therefore, we are determined not to let the war between the Manchus and the red-haired ghosts end.

The more anxious the fight must be, the better.

Even if this batch of gold cannot be taken away, it must be destroyed or hidden.

Millions of taels of gold can easily determine the victory of a war. "

The expression on Li Mochou's face gradually became serious.

"Wu Lang, you are right. In fact, Queen Wu's military pay is not very bad, because Zhao Gounan took a lot of treasures with him when he fled. In addition, in the past few years, the court's tax revenue has been very high. , so military pay and food and grass were not in short supply for a while.

But Wu Guogong is not so easy to chew, but a hard bone made of iron.

There is no way the war will end in a short period of time. Even if she has an advantage, she can only increase her advantage bit by bit and eat away at it step by step.

We really need to buy her enough time! "

Wu Gong took out the blood-stained map again and said, "The Manchu Qing Dynasty must have attached great importance to this batch of gold, and must have sent a large team of people to guard it. Even if we grab it, we want to take it. It’s very difficult to take them away, so why not destroy them all?”

Li Mochou hesitated for a moment and then said, "How should this gold be destroyed?"

Gold is not silk, nor is it fragile rice paper banknotes.

You can't just find a well and throw all the gold down!

Wu Gong suddenly raised his eyebrows and waved to the Buddha Mother who was disposing of the corpse in the distance.

Fire Lotus, one of the Five Lotuses wearing a red robe, walked slowly over.

"Wu Lang."

Wu Gong glanced at Li Mochou next to him with some embarrassment. Seeing her expressionless face, he continued, "Does the White Lotus Sect have a base near here?"

Huolian thought for a moment and shook his head: "There is no stronghold, but there are many hidden stakes nearby, all of which are followers of my White Lotus Sect.

Wu Lang, what do you need from the White Lotus Sect? "

"I want to negotiate a business deal with the White Lotus Sect. I want to get this million taels of gold, and then ask the White Lotus Sect to help me give it to Queen Wu. The White Lotus Sect can take a quarter of it as reward.

what do you think?

Or, do you want to communicate with the Red Fire Buddha Mother? "

Huolian smiled brightly and said, "Wu Lang, I can answer you for such a trivial matter without asking for instructions. The White Lotus Sect is willing to do anything for you!"

Wu Gong glanced at Li Mochou next to him again, and seeing that she was still expressionless, he said, "Okay, call them all over and discuss what to do."

——

When the Manchu Qing Dynasty first entered the territory of the Song Dynasty, they burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil.

Countless gold and silver treasures were plundered by the Manchus.

Most of it was divided up by the Manchu nobles and squandered.

But there are still huge amounts of gold and silver secretly stored away.

The purpose of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in doing this was because in fact, when they entered the customs, the number of Manchu and Qing cavalry was not too large. They were not confident in occupying the north, but were preparing to collect the gold. In case of defeat in the future, they would So that he can return to the grassland with these gold and silver.

In this way, there is at least a chance for a comeback.

This kind of precautionary thinking can also be fully seen. At that time, Manqing also had a full understanding of its own strength.

However, what shocked them was that they actually occupied the north - with just such a few troops.

As their strength continued to increase, those cautious Manchu counselors also died of old age. The new generation of Manchu rulers no longer used to be cautious and cautious, but became extremely rampant.

Especially as Obai took over the power, the entire Manchu Qing court began to become extremely radical.

First there was the fierce friction with Mongolia on the grasslands.

He also engaged in a protracted war with the Rakshasa in the north.

Countless national and financial resources were spent.

This left the Manchu Empire, a new empire that had just been born, completely plunged into turmoil.

Even because of the long war, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had to use the stored gold and silver.

Along with the soil being dug up.

A series of blue earthen jars wrapped in the soil were hooked by big hooks and lifted up from the depths of the ground.

The general in charge of transportation kicked an earthen jar to pieces, and pieces of black metal ingots fell out of the earthen jar. Muffled sounds were heard one after another, and the soil was smashed out by these black metal ingots. Each small pit can be seen with the naked eye.

He bent down and held a metal ingot.

Push it hard to both sides.

This seemingly hard metal ingot began to deform in his palm.

A sliver of golden light shimmered from beneath the black exterior paint.

A greedy smile appeared on the Manchu general's face.

These are gold of extremely high purity. After being fired, they are soaked in black lacquer for the purpose of concealing it from others. In order to keep this gold from being discovered, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not leave any ledgers, only the places where the gold was buried.

And never sent someone over to check for signs of excavation.

It is precisely because of this caution that no one has discovered the gold buried in the wilderness for decades.

And now, they are about to see the light of day again.

He casually stuffed the gold nugget into his arms.

The Manchu general yelled at the soldiers beside him: "Go faster. If you don't dig out all the jars before tonight, don't blame me for giving you a whip!"

As he spoke, he bent down and stuffed more gold nuggets into his arms.

These days, when it comes to ostentation and high expenses, who can survive with just a few hard-core crops?

You still have to make some extra money yourself!
