Qin Dacheng did not expect that the Admiral would ask him what he meant. He hadn't turned his head for a while. He didn't understand why the Admiral suddenly changed his mind and used fine money to clean up this group of people instead of what he said in advance, so he was stunned. It didn't respond.

When the Admiral saw this, he was naturally unhappy. Zhou Zhifu opened his eyes, knowing that the Admiral thought his bid was too low, so he resolutely gritted his teeth and said a number that instantly made the Admiral's face become kinder.

"One thousand taels!"

Zhou Zhifu's heart is really bleeding. This price is also his limit. No matter how much, he really can't come up with it.

"Nanxiong House has no credit or hard work these years."

The Admiral sighed, and he stepped forward to tell the officials and gentry that he was not good at these external things. According to his nature, he would treat those who are greedy and pervert the law with strict law and discipline, and he would never be light-hearted. However, with the Taiping bandits and bandits overwhelming the territory, internal stability is needed, and the two governments still have to rely on you to maintain them. If everyone is arrested, how can he lead the military and civilians of the two governments to fight bandits and bandits together? Therefore, for the sake of the safety of the gentry and the people in the two prefectures of Shaozhou and Nanxiong, and for the sake of the Jiangshan community in the Qing Dynasty, the Admiral made an exception and agreed that the officials of the two prefectures should pay for their crimes with fines of silver.

The Admiral has repeatedly reiterated that the fines paid by the officials and gentry are not taken by him. At the same time, he also generously stated that as long as the officials pay the fines, the past will be forgotten. This move made the officials, big and small, even called the Admiral to be sympathetic to the officials, so as not to make their lives difficult. As for the gentry and the big family, they were also warned.

Under the guidance of the Admiral, Qin Dacheng, the prefect of Shaozhou, finally understood the meaning of the Admiral, so he was full of energy, and the representative Zhou Wenming, who was promoted by the officials and the gentry, and the famous Song Dahu in Shaozhou City launched a "talking and talking sword". "like negotiations. Half an hour later, Lord Admiral got the final figure. These officials and gentry were willing to atone for their sins with 400,000 taels of silver.

Jiang Dacheng thought that on the grounds of preventing the officials and gentry from repenting, he asked the Admiral to immediately arrange for someone to take the fine money, and he would not let them go if they didn't see the money. The Admiral took this move too hastily, and it was easy for people to misunderstand that he was taking the opportunity to blackmail the officials and refused on the grounds that his reputation was harmful, as long as the arrangement was made tomorrow. Jiang Dacheng rewarded the soldiers with the fine silver, and tried to persuade him again and again on the grounds of encouraging the morale of the army. Finally, the Admiral relented and agreed to this matter.

The officials and gentry who live in the city of Shaozhou don't have to worry. The Admiral specially arranged for his personal soldiers to go back to the palace with them to collect fines, but those officials who came from other places didn't have that much money. But it doesn't matter, Lord Admiral thought of their difficulties, so under the "care" of Lord Admiral, 49 major gentry families and business managers in Shaozhou City contributed funds to these foreign officials.

For a while, the large and small horses and carriages in the city were endless, laden with gold and silver, and they galloped endlessly, but there was only one direction, and that was the Admiral's mansion. There is still one official who cannot pay the fine. After all, Shaozhou is not a fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, nor is it the provincial capital of Guangzhou. Time is urgent, and there is not that much silver in the city.

The Admiral took this into account, so he let go again when the sky was about to dawn, and let those officials who really couldn't get enough money to pay as much as they wanted, and the rest were unified to pay the IOUs.

Pity those officials who happily came to the city to celebrate the birthday of the Admiral. All of them were in debt of more than a thousand taels overnight, and they had nowhere to cry if they wanted to. Fortunately, the Admiral received the fine and fulfilled his promise, and released them from the prison and placed them in the inn in the city, but they were not allowed to leave the city and could only go back after dawn. The Admiral did not renege on his promise, and the official duties were not taken away, which made the officials feel at ease. As long as they could still be officials, they could always find a way to make up for today's losses, so as not to die.

After dawn, the unfortunate officials were about to take a carriage back, but found that the city gate was not open. The officials thought that the Admiral had changed his mind, and they all panicked. They pushed the Nanxiong Zhou Zhifu to inquire about the Admiral, so as to make sure that everyone would not be frightened. Zhou Zhifu was on the way to the Admiral's Mansion, but was suddenly startled by the sound of a cannon, and was so frightened that he threw a "dog eat shit" from his horse. Before the person could get up, the sound of cannons and gunshots rang incessantly like thunder, so frightened Zhou Zhifu had only one thought in his mind: Could it be that the Taiping bandits are coming? !

The sudden sound of cannons and guns shocked everyone in the city, and adults and children were so frightened that they hid in their homes and did not dare to come out. The sound of guns and guns only sounded for half an hour, intermittently, and there were shouts of killing from time to time in the city and outside the city. I think the fighting was very fierce.

Until noon, the cannons and shouts of killing finally stopped, and the gentry in the city breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Taiping bandits were repelled by the Admiral, or else there would be no movement. After a while, the sound of neat footsteps came from the street outside, which sounded like a brigade of officers and soldiers passing by. Someone who was daring leaned on the crack of the door and secretly looked out, and suddenly the whole person was dumbfounded - what kind of Qing soldiers were marching on the street outside, but groups of Taiping bandits in red military uniforms!

Taiping bandits have entered the city!

Almost instantly, all the gentlemen in Shaozhou City knew the unbelievable news that the **** Taiping Bandit had entered the city!

Where has the Admiral gone?

Anyone who has some knowledge can't help but think of the incomparable bravery, the Taiping bandits screaming and howling, the living Zhang Fei who dare not make a step north, and the emperor of the Qing Dynasty's extremely trustworthy Admiral, how could he be unable to stop the Taiping bandits this time. The people are fine, the gentry officials have lost their fathers, and the Taiping bandits have broken through the city, which means that these officials of the Qing Dynasty are going to lose their lives.

However, another amazing thing was discovered by the officials and gentry, that is, the Taiping bandits who entered the city seemed to be very familiar with Shaozhou. They were able to accurately drive from the city gate to the key points in the city, occupy the government and county yamen, and even You can even see where the military camp is. What surprised them even more was that the military camp in the city was actually empty. It is understandable that the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were scared away, but what is difficult to understand is that the barracks were cleaned and the granary was full of food. Qi, the large water tank outside the tent was also filled with water, and everything seemed to be ready. What made people grit their teeth even more was that it was not the elite soldiers under the Admiral who led the way for the Taiping bandits!

Got it, got it all!

That Taiping bandit didn't break into the city, but was put into the city!

The startling truth is soon discovered.

Tang Sanshui's **** voted for the Taiping Bandit!

That **** hit us hard last night!

The officials were angry, and the gentry also stomped their feet and cursed. They were very angry, bizarrely angry: It doesn't matter if you, Tang Sanshui, vote for the Taiping Bandit, but you can't vote with us!

Tang San, who was leading the 3,000 elite soldiers raised by a lot of money on the road to Ganzhou officials, was very proud. He couldn't be complacent. Originally, he just wanted to take away the innocent officials from Shaozhou and Nanxiong, and hand over the two houses completely. Give the talent and make a small sum of money. He didn't want to, but a sudden fortune came, and he was asked to get more than 300,000 taels of silver overnight. It was really a man's development, and even the gods couldn't stop it.

The money was given to me voluntarily by those officials and gentry, and it was not stolen by me. The scholar can't use this to say that I have reneged on my promise. I, Tang Sanshui, are not someone who really regards gold and silver as dung. After so many years of hard work, others don't understand me. You, a scholar, still understand me? People die for wealth, birds die for food, if I don’t want the money that comes to my door, I’m going to be struck by thunder.

From time to time, fast horses galloped from behind to inform Tang Sanshui about the Taiping army's entry into the city. After hearing that the Taiping army did not commit any crimes against the Admiral's Mansion Qiu after entering the city, Tang Sanshui smiled and said to Song Qian and Jia Da, "I have both It is said that His Royal Highness King Qi is the most faithful person in the world. To do business with him is to have ten thousand hearts, but you are still worried, what is it, His Royal Highness King Qi is interested in your small money? Tell you, not only will he not want you I have to pay the bill and send the money to the Admiral's House later."

"It's all thanks to the adults, that the humble people can have today."

Jia Da and Song Qian, hehe silly, four years ago, they were nothing more than top soldiers. Now a lieutenant general and a sergeant general earn tens of thousands of taels of money~www.NovelMTL.com~ There are more beautiful women who have played with them. Go, life is like this, what more can you ask for?

"It's not my blessing, it's the blessing of His Royal Highness King Toqi. You have to figure this out, and you mustn't mix it up."

Tang Sanshui corrected his subordinates' slip of the tongue, drinking water without forgetting the well digger, he was able to have today, but it was all due to the blessing of being a scholar.

"Don't worry, my lord, I understand, I understand, we are the blessing of His Royal Highness King Toqi, hehe"

Jia Da and Song Qian kept nodding their heads, and Qin Dacheng also laughed. The ones he caught in the past are not counted. Of the more than 300,000 taels of silver last night, 10,000 taels belonged to him. Now that the money has been obtained, the city has also been handed over. Putting it in the Taiping Army is the same as putting it at home, there is nothing to worry about. Now it's up to them if they can continue to work hard and dedicate Ganzhou to His Royal Highness King Qi as a gift to congratulate his old man on the Northern Expedition.

"Damn, tell them to act like they are, we are defeated soldiers anyway, we look like we are victorious!"

Seeing the high morale of his subordinates, each with their heads held high, Tang Sanshui laughed and scolded. So with an order, the originally neat team immediately became scattered, the flag fell, and it looked like a team running away.

"That's right, a defeated soldier should have the appearance of a defeated soldier, otherwise, Su Hongzu can believe us by swaggering over like this?" Su Hongzu in Tang Sanshui's mouth was referring to the governor of Nangan, who was a member of the Han army's red flag. , is very loyal to the Tartars. If you want to win Ganzhou, this person must be removed.

"Ganzhou is more valuable than Nanxiong and Shaozhou. The price of King Qi is very high. Whether you can make this list depends on you!"

Tang Sanshui was in high spirits, and pointed his whip in the direction of Ganzhou, his eyes full of desire.
