- Half a day ago, Wu Ji borrowed money here and there and finally collected one hundred thousand taels of silver.
This is also in Xushuguan. If it were anywhere else, I would never have thought that I could collect so much money in such a short time.
Time was running out, so Zhao Hao left Secretary Ma and the two men at Xushuguan, and escorted three silver boats with Steward Mi along the Hudong Canal into the Xijing Bay of Taihu Lake.
Not far ahead, a speedboat came up.
The guys escorting the silver boat all nervously held their weapons.
"It's a helper." Zhao Hao put down his hand and signaled everyone to relax.
When the clipper ship came alongside, Jin Ke took a few unfamiliar black men and boarded the silver ship.
At this time, Gao Wu held back a sentence. "They are all old guys"
Zhao Hao nodded, in front of Manager Mi, this was not the time to get close. He then asked Jin Ke in a deep voice: "When did you arrive?"
"We set off after receiving the order from the young master. We made a big circle and arrived at Xijing Bay this morning." Jin Ke also replied in a deep voice:
"The young ones are all resting in the north of the bay, and my subordinates are here to welcome the young master."
"How many people are here?" Zhao Hao asked softly.
"Thirty old brothers from the Qi Jiajun, eighty Cai Jiaxiang guards, four hundred gunners from the gunner camp, and a hundred ship operators and cooks." Jin Ke reported:
"There are ten boats in total, all flying the flag of the Dongting Chamber of Commerce. No one dared to check them along the way."
"Okay, very good!" Mr. Zhao immediately became energetic. This was the confidence for him to show off his authority. "Let the brothers follow at a distance and don't get too close!"
"Understood." Jin Ke waved his hand, and the few men who stayed on the speedboat adjusted the sails and rowed quickly to deliver the order.
It was raining and the lake was covered with mist. The boat had disappeared without a trace before it had traveled a hundred feet.
"Let's go, let's follow Steward Mi to deliver the money." Zhao Hao greeted Jin Ke with a smile and entered the cabin.
In the cabin, boxes after boxes were piled with silver. Zhao Hao casually found a box and sat down, unfolding the water map that came from the Hua family.
He pointed to a small dot marked 'Little Bamboo Island' on the top and introduced to Jinke: "This is the place to pay the money. The water bandits dug a big hole on the island and asked us to bury the money and leave."
Jin Ke nodded and asked, "What are your plans, Master?"
"It used to be there, but now it's gone." Zhao Hao spread his hands and said, "Brother Jin is here, of course I will follow your arrangements."
It is always a taboo for laymen to lead professionals. It is wise to let professional people do professional things.
Otherwise, why spend a lot of money to support them?
"Yes." Jin Ke also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Who is not afraid of a leader who gives blind orders?
"But please give me a clear combat goal, Master."
"It's very simple. The first thing is to ensure the safety of the hostages and at the same time kill all the water bandits."
Jin Ke nodded and asked in a deep voice: "Can my subordinates understand it this way - if the water bandits get the ransom and let them go, we will wait until we confirm the hostages are safe before killing them. If the water bandits still dare to play tricks after taking the money, , just kill them directly!¡±
Manager Mi couldn't help but remind her: "What will happen to my young lady's safety if we attack by force?"
"Don't worry." Jin Ke glanced at him and said, "As long as we are fast enough, they won't have time to hurt your young lady."
"Uh" Manager Mi moved his lips a few times, wanting to ask where he got such strong self-confidence?
"Don't worry, Uncle Mi. Brother Jin said it's okay, so it's definitely okay!" Zhao Hao smiled and patted Manager Mi on the shoulder, telling him to calm down.
??~~
Jin Ke did not make a plan immediately, but studied the map silently.
Zhao Hao didn¡¯t bother him, lying on the two silver boxes and wondering what he was thinking.
About an hour later, Jin Ke suddenly raised his head. "Coming."
Sure enough, during the tea time, Steward Mi came in and reported: "Sir, Xiaozhu Island has arrived."
Zhao Hao gave a thumbs up to Jin Ke. He was worthy of being the first in water warfare in the Qi family army.
The two of them followed Steward Mi to the bow of the ship, and saw a small island three to five feet square appearing on the water ahead.
It was actually bare, not a single tree.
"You're really good at choosing places" Zhao Hao's mouth twitched twice.
His original plan was to send people to ambush the island, capture the water bandits when they came to collect money, and then force them to lead the way to the bandit's nest to rescue people
Fortunately, I didn¡¯t say it out loud and it would be embarrassing.
Jinke looked around and saw that the water surface was vast and vast.There is only a boat and a plank, and there is no place to hide.
"Just do it first."
"Hey." Manager Mi nodded, and ordered the people to bring the boat as close to the island as possible, and then use three small boats to transport it up.
One hundred thousand taels of silver were packed into thirty boxes, and it would take a while to transport them all. Zhao Hao and Jin Ke also went to the island, and sure enough they saw a pit more than two feet deep and four or five feet in diameter.
Such a small pit can¡¯t even hold half of the money.
"You are very careless in digging." Mr. Zhao said with a smile, "Do you think I can't get so much money?"
Jin Ke looked at him silently and said to himself that most people can't even imagine
"It seems that the water bandits are very cautious."
"It's a pity that they know nothing about the power of science." Mr. Zhao chuckled.
"Young Master is right." Jin Ke nodded calmly, having everything under control.
In about half an hour, all thirty silver boxes were buried as required. To this end, the guys took shovels and dug the hole twice as deep.
Then everyone returned to the ship, pulled anchor and sailed away.
??~~
When the ripples caused by the passing ship dissipated, the lively island returned to calm.
More than half an hour later, a small boat with a stern like a wooden gun sailed into the waters of Xiaozhu Island.
But the gunboat did not sail to the island immediately. Instead, it made a large circle around the island one mile away.
After confirming that there were no ships watching nearby, the gunboat sailed to the island.
The two water bandits who stretched their necks immediately discovered that the hole they dug had been filled.
There were many messy footprints on the side.
"Oh my God!" The water bandits' hearts were beating out of their chests, and they rushed to the island to check.
When they skimmed off the loose soil and pried open the locked silver box, everyone was stunned by the white silver light.
I pried open another box, but it was still white!
The water bandits suddenly burst into howls of joy like wolves, and then rushed forward in unison, stuffing money into their arms with all their strength.
¡°As everyone knows, every move they make is in the eyes of Zhao Hao and Jin Ke who are two miles away.
The two men were lying on a sampan, each holding a pair of binoculars.
It was raining and foggy, and the naked eye could only distinguish objects as close as a hundred feet away, but with a telescope, you could see two miles away.
So the water bandits couldn't find them at all when they walked around in circles.
"They won't take the money and run away, right?" Mr. Zhao was a little unsure.
"Don't worry, young master, as long as anyone is sent out to do this, their family members will be used as hostages in the hands of the bandit leader." Jin Ke shook his head and chuckled, and couldn't help but secretly lamented that with this telescope, everyone has become clairvoyant.
Isn¡¯t this just bullying?
Sure enough, as Jin Ke said, after the water bandits each took a share of silver, they re-covered the silver box, buried it in the soil, boarded the ship and went back to report.
"Follow us." Jin Ke pointed out the direction to Caozhou's men.
Two strong men rowed hard and stayed far behind the other side's boat.
In fact, the two men couldn't see the water bandit's gunboat, but as long as Jin Ke could see it, it was enough.
Zhao Hao and Jin Ke have a clear division of labor. One is responsible for tracking, and the other is responsible for alerting the surrounding enemies. Just like this, he was hanging far behind without even noticing.
When Jin Ke saw the gunboat starting to circle again, he said to Zhao Hao: "We have found the bandit's nest."
