Chapter 478 The troops are divided into two groups
"That's right. If I can do it two or three times a year, and save it up for a few more years, I'll have enough to marry a wife."
"We're stuck here all day, unable to go out, and with nothing to do. Those women have to wait months for our turn. Over there, we can go out twice. Even if we can't go to Lan Gui Pavilion, we can still have fun through those secret doors, right?"
As he spoke, he laughed lasciviously.
Several people nearby laughed in agreement.
After sprinkling the water, several people tied their belts and the topic turned to another direction.
"Have you heard that there's a new silver mine discovered over there?"
"Silver mine? When was that?"
"One of the guys who was rotated in last time was a brother from my hometown. He told me quietly! He said the silver mine is also short of manpower, and the boss is really worried! All the people in the prison in Fancheng have been plundered, and it's still far from enough."
"The boss said that anyone who can get someone to go mining will be paid five taels of silver!"
"Is there such a good thing?"
……
Those people left talking and laughing.
Tang Liang and his two men were left behind, all stunned by the news.
How dare you illegally mine silver? This is a capital crime punishable by confiscation of property and extermination of the clan!
Tang Liang knew more and his face turned pale. If that person was really the boss behind this, he would definitely confiscate the property and certainly not exterminate the entire clan. After all, who would be so desperate as to kill not only his son but also himself?
I was worried before. Even if I found the private soldiers, it would be difficult to report if I didn’t find the iron mine.
Now there is actually another silver mine. If this matter is handled well, promotion will be a piece of cake.
Tang Liang's eyes suddenly became fanatical.
They are the imperial guards, and although they are said to be under the direct command of the emperor, it sounds very glorious.
But they are the group with the least hope of promotion, unlike the border guards, who can fight in wars and get promoted and make money easily if they are lucky.
It is also not as good as the local garrison. It is not in the capital, so there are not so many rules, and it can still make money.
They could only wait patiently for the day when the emperor would see them in person before they could make the leap.
At this moment, the opportunity is in front of him. If this matter is done well, and another silver mine is found for the emperor, apart from anything else, can this captain be promoted?
Tang Liang acted decisively and sent someone back along the original route, asking him to tell Fu Zhiyi to bring people over quickly.
He and another subordinate continued to stay here to figure out the terrain. If Fu Zhiyi really brought people with him, they would lead the way and prevent them from escaping.
Secondly, see if you can find out the whereabouts of the silver mine.
Fu Zhiyi didn't expect that he got to know the news about the silver mine by accident.
With a wave of his hand, two people at the back of the team left the team, nodded to Fu Zhiyi, and rode their horses in another direction.
Fu Zhiyi looked at the two people's backs as they walked away, took a deep breath, and hoped that it was still not too late.
With someone leading the way, it will naturally be easier to walk.
No one dared to get too close and just stood far away.
Fu Zhiyi also had a telescope in his hand. He had taken it from the front study when he left home, thinking that it might be useful.
Sure enough, it was used at this moment.
The group stumbled into the second floor with the help of a telescope.
Someone immediately discovered the marks left by Tang Liang, and following the marks, they finally found Tang Liang and the other person.
The two hadn't eaten for two days and could only dig some wild vegetables and hunt some game to fill their stomachs.
But I didn't dare to light a fire in this forest. This was just to tell others where I was.
So we eat all raw food. It’s okay if the wild vegetables are very busy, but at most they don’t taste good and are a bit bitter.
But eating wild game raw made the two of them very tired.
Seeing Fu Zhiyi and his group, the first thing he said was, "Did you bring any food? If so, give us two servings."
Fu Zhiyi turned his head and saw someone behind him, who handed him a small package of dry steamed buns.
Under Fu Zhiyi's gaze, he stuffed it into Tang Liang's hand.
Tang Liang and his men no longer cared about anything else. Their eyes flashed green, and each of them grabbed a dry bun and started to eat it.
He ate the dry steamed buns as if they were dragon liver and phoenix marrow.
After Tang Liang calmed down his hunger, he got down to business. "I've heard about the iron and silver mines from them. The place isn't far away, it's called Daling Village."
Fu Zhiyi nodded and found the location of Daling Village on the map.
Tang Liang suggested quietly, "There's no time to waste. Delaying will only lead to changes! Sir Fu, how about we just kill him?"
Fu Zhiyi rubbed his brows. "How do we do this? If I'm not mistaken, there must be thousands of private soldiers here. How can we defeat them? With our mouths?"
Tang Liang lowered his head and stopped talking.
Fu Zhiyi then said, "Commander Wei sent a letter a few days ago saying he was almost in South Vietnam. Two days before I arrived, Commander Wei and his men had already arrived in South Vietnam and settled there. With the men he brought with him and the sign in his hand, I think it shouldn't be difficult to recapture the area."
After a pause, he continued, "Let's split up into two groups. You stay here, and soon the commander-in-chief will come with his men to support you in clearing out these illegal soldiers."
"I'll take my men to Daling Village to find out if the news is true. If it is, we'll attack from both sides to prevent any fish from slipping through the net."
Tang Liang racked his brain but couldn't come up with anything.
In addition, before coming here, Commander Wei had also told him that when he was undecided or didn't understand what was being said, he should just listen to Fu Zhiyi.
He nodded readily.
Fu Zhiyi gave a few warnings, urging them not to let any fish slip through the net, and then left in a hurry.
He led his men straight to Daling Village. Halfway there, he heard deafening shouts and cries of killing behind him. Turning around, he saw the sky above the peninsula was red, as if something was on fire.
Fu Zhiyi didn't expect the commotion to be so big, and he was afraid that the entire Fan City would be alarmed.
He quickly led hundreds of people and quickened his pace.
Although the people of Fancheng were unaware of what had happened that night, the officials of Fancheng were all aware of what had happened.
The soldier guarding the gate was the first to notice that half the sky had turned red, and he hurriedly reported it to the county lieutenant. The county lieutenant was happily hugging his concubine, and was very unhappy to have his good time interrupted.
When I came out with my pants held up, my legs went weak.
He crawled to the county government office and asked to see the county magistrate.
Then the two of them looked at the red spot and collapsed to the ground.
Although they were confused about what was there, they had a vague guess in their hearts.
Seeing such a big commotion at this moment, could it be that the camp has been blown up?
When they thought about the camp bombing, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant gave up the idea of sending people to take a look.
While asking people to guard the county gate, he stood in the yard and looked at the fire in the distance with worry.
