Small boats came back at dawn the next day, and they brought back the latest news.
At this time, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhongbu are located in the eastern waters of Dengzhou, which is about one hundred miles away from Dengzhou.
There are dozens of large and small saltworks in the sea area near Dengzhou City to the west, and several large saltworks are quite close to the goal of Li Yuanqing.
To the east, the sea area of Baili is already bitter and cold, and the population density is sparse. There are also several saltworks, but most of them are family-related small workshops.
Now the goal is clear.
After careful deliberation, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong chose a large saltworks 30 miles away from the east of Dengzhou. The scale of this saltworks is more than ten miles in Fiona Fang, and I am afraid that ordinary landlords can’t afford such a big rack. They must be rich or expensive.
However, it’s too close to Dengzhou, and it’s difficult to make mistakes if you rush to do it.
After consulting with Chen Zhong, Li Yuanqing decided to continue to send people to this saltworks to investigate and listen for detailed information during the day and then start work later.
Soon, two confidants led several small boats in the direction of saltworks, while the large troops were waiting patiently in the boat.
It was getting dark, and the light snow stopped during the day and drifted away again, gradually taking on a big appearance.
The reconnaissance boat has returned, and they have got some more accurate data of the saltworks.
Liu, the owner of this saltworks, is a famous man in Dengzhou, and this Dong Liu advocate is even more extremely young, so he won a prize in Juren and worshipped Zuoguang Doumen, the leader of contemporary scholars and Donglin, which can be said to be the pride of Dengzhou people.
My father is in the Liu family in Dengzhou. That’s the local tyrant. The general figure is the magistrate and the tongzhi. Now that they have met Liu Dongzhu, they have to call him a’ boss’ civilly.
As for the saltworks, it may be that the family name is too great, but Liu’s father doesn’t pay so much attention to the saltworks defenders. According to the intelligence response, there are no more than three saltworks guards now, but there are hundreds of saltworks coolies. This is a godsend.
If Li Yuanqing, an ordinary landlord and a rich family saltworks, might feel a little guilty in his heart, but it’s actually Donglin’s big boss’s protege, Donglin Dongliang in the future. Who the fuck does he do?
After a brief discussion, the team set off quickly and went straight to the Liujia saltworks.
Before the fleet had approached the saltworks area, the snow in the sky was getting bigger and bigger, and it was overwhelming.
Fortunately, this is not yet the freezing period, and it does not have much impact on the fleet’s actions.
Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhonghui soldiers are also in their prime of life and naturally will not be afraid of this cold.
At this time, from a distance, the whole saltworks is located in a small half-moon bay with flat terrain and wide bay, which is really a treasure.
There are high watchtowers with lights on in several places in the bay, but look at their layout. These watchtowers are not for monitoring the enemy’s situation, but for monitoring the coolies inside.
Faced with this kind of defense, Chen Zhong still can’t accept "how can they be so careless?"
Li Yuanqing couldn’t help laughing. "Eldest brother, this is Dengzhou, not in our Liaodi."
Chen Zhong didn’t react until he sighed a long sigh, "Yuan Qing, let’s do it. I’ll take the lead myself."
Li Yuanqing, of course, Bai Chenzhong means that all the people in his department eat and drink Lazarus these days are Li Yuanqing Chenzhong, who naturally won’t freeload and wants to do more in this war.
The two men have known each other for so long, and Li Yuanqing naturally nodded at ease to Chen Zhong’s strength, but said in a low voice: "Eldest brothers are all Han people who play around, but if they are not heinous, they can save their lives, and the brothers should try not to talk to avoid being recognized by people."
Chen Zhong busy nodded "yuanqing don’t worry"
With a wave of his hand, he quickly leaned over to the saltworks.
Li Yuanqing also recruited Guan Canghai and Wang Hai to quickly follow the past with his troops.
Chen Zhongdong quickly arrived at the coast, and before leaving, both teams had changed their costumes. It was not a military battle, but the people wore ordinary cotton-padded jackets and trousers to distinguish them from each other with a white towel on their left arm.
It’s snowing and windy tonight, and it’s bound to be hard to watch the watchtower at night.
In this weather, the salt field can’t produce late, and the vigilance has dropped by one point.
Soon the lights of the two watchtowers nearby have changed, and Chen Zhongren has succeeded.
When Li Yuanqing naturally won’t wave, a wave of his hand directly signals the troops to go to the main building complex of saltworks.
Chapter 6 windfall
~~~~~~~
The strength contrast is a little too wide. The saltworks guards are strong in throwing their weight around these bitter, haha, salty people. But how can they resist Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhonghui’s real soldiers?
The whole battle lasted about a quarter of an hour, and the whole world was quiet after killing more than a dozen recalcitrant guards.
The main building of the saltworks is several rows of continuous thatched cottages, and there is a reef-built bunker-like building in the east, which is the saltworks warehouse.
At this time, there are more than a dozen guards, stewards and hundreds of salt workers in the saltworks who are tied to the warehouse. They are holding their heads and squatting on the ground, and they dare not breathe.
Surrounded by soldiers with torches and weapons.
Chen Zhong pointed to a rich and fat man and said to Li Yuanqing, "This is the manager of the saltworks and the key to the third housekeeper’s warehouse in Liu Fu’s house."
Li Yuanqing nodded and walked over to the three butlers. Putonghua with a southern accent said, "Give me the key to the warehouse and I won’t kill you."
Although these three housekeepers are frightened in their hearts, there is still a trace of car-scrapping in the bones of the Liu family. "Brave men, this is our Dengzhou Liu industry. Let’s have something to say and ask for silver. I can make decision to give you some, but this warehouse is our Liu family’s home. It’s too important to talk to my master and archduke."
Li Yuanqing never thought that at this level, these three housekeepers could be so cross. This man is either brain-burned or relying on something.
Look at this time three housekeeper quite some proudly eyes obviously he belongs to the latter.
Li Yuanqing, however, is not in a hurry to respond. "Somebody pick out this dog’s hamstring for me."
A moment later, Guan Canghai and Wang Hai have brought people to Wang Hai, and a Qinbing has framed the three housekeepers. Guan Canghai has drawn his broadsword.
No one is more familiar with this job than he is from a pirate background.
Seeing that Guan Canghai’s sword was drawn out, the three butlers were also scared. "Don’t mess around, hero," he said. "Heidao Li Jiaolong is my brother. He won’t let you go if you hurt me."
"Li Jiaolong?" Li Yuanqing one leng saw officer the sea.
Guan Canghai doesn’t seem to have heard the name Li Jiaolong. I don’t know who he is, but he immediately grasped the meaning of Li Yuanqing and spoke Mandarin with a southern accent: "I’m going to your mother’s bullshit Li Jiaolong. We’re in charge. It’s our master Wang’s granddaughter-in-law who looks at you from this aisle. Is that your blessing to dare to talk big and believe it or not?"
Master Wang was the bandit leader Wang Zhi, but he was famous in this business.
These three managers can know a few ways, and naturally they have heard that Master Wang’s fat face turned white temporarily.
Guan Canghai’s words made him understand. At this time, people came here, but they didn’t plan to pass by. This made the third housekeeper feel a little better. He said, "Don’t start work if you have something to say. To tell you the truth, there is really no silver in the warehouse. It’s all just salted and hasn’t come yet."
