Whether it was Wu Feng or the officials from the Finance Department who arrived with Wu Feng, they were standing in the warehouse. Their only expressions were that of being in a daze. The scene in front of them was completely beyond their expectations. The blood of the guarding soldiers flowed in along the smooth floor. The result of the previous brutal fight was for this place, and now it has finally fallen into the hands of the occupiers.
There is nothing. The core of a large tribe with a population of several million - the tribal treasury contains nothing, except gold, of course! Piles of gold!
Under the tung oil lamp, the golden light filled the entire warehouse. It seemed that even the air in the room was filled with a golden atmosphere. The officials who followed Wu Feng into the warehouse to receive the goods were all covered by the golden light. Shrouded in the sky, they seemed to have turned into golden statues, standing there blankly. The huge pressure of wealth made everyone here dare not speak for a while, fearing that this was a wonderful dream and that once they spoke, they would break it. A miracle that will never be forgotten.
There was silence in the room for a while, everyone held their breath and stared greedily at the moving scene in front of them. It was so beautiful, so beautiful, perhaps more intoxicating than any other scenic spot in the continent, exuding infinite temptation. The piles of gold are piled on top of each other like a hill. Looking at it, it looks like the golden city wall, only a smaller size.
Finally waking up from his intoxication, Wu Feng looked around. Almost no one could remain calm in front of this intoxicating scenery. The whole room was filled with gold, mixed with a few green lights, which were people's gazes.
"Okay, what are you still doing? Just do whatever you need to do, everyone performs their duties!" Qingyue's voice interrupted everyone's confusion, and they suddenly woke up. Only then did the officials remember their duties and lowered their heads to cover up. Taking note of his gaffe, he took a pen and a book and started to register. People from the supervision department also intervened and went about their work separately.
Quietly walking out of the treasury, Wu Feng felt a little emotional. He didn't expect it. He didn't expect that the Pangzhe people's army would be so invincible. What's more, he didn't expect that the Pangzhe people's treasury would be so rich! It seems that it is a fact that the Senger Plain is rich in gold. The Indians do not believe that financial departments such as banks and banks have also done them a big favor. Otherwise, if they really only took some rare jade and other things back, they still don’t know how much they would need. Time to digest it.
It’s no wonder that the Luobi people are so enamored with the Indians and insist on biting them. It’s really unreasonable not to take a few bites of such fat meat. I was a little late-minded. If I had known this, I should have turned my attention here long ago. Fortunately, I finally caught up with this troubled waters.
After finally calming down his fluctuating mood, Wu Feng discovered that the mentality he thought was good was actually not much better than ordinary people. Facing the temptation of sudden huge wealth, he was still unable to extricate himself. After all, making a fortune like this would be very important to him in the future. The development of China is really important. How to use this fund? Wu Feng had countless thoughts running through his mind at once, whether to develop the army and strengthen its strength or invest in economic construction to consolidate the economic foundation first? Or is it a combination of both? Thinking of this, Wu Feng couldn't help but laugh. The military operation was not over yet, and he was already thinking about how to use the money. Was he feeling a little too impatient
The cool breeze of the summer night blew by, cooling off Wu Feng's somewhat heated mind. He paced slowly with his hands behind his back. Cui Wenxiu's cavalry division had already set off overnight to march to Selmes in the west. They must get there first. End the operation before the news reaches Selmes, otherwise your side will be left with an empty city. The Independent Light Cavalry Division left one regiment to cooperate with the two cavalry regiments of the Guards Division to clean up the mess at Jaipur Ferry. At least two regiments were needed to take custody of more than 20,000 regular army prisoners and a large number of private prisoners. , and it will take at least two days for the following infantry to arrive here. Wu Feng has ordered a large number of civilian transport vehicles to be mobilized for emergency relief, but it is only a drop in the bucket. At most, one regiment can arrive one day in advance, and it must first ensure the barrier. Elms needs.
This battle should be regarded as a complete victory. With prepared versus unprepared, overwhelming superior force, achieving such a result is really not something worth boasting about, but the wealth that fell into his hands is something real. That was exactly what he needed most right now. Wu Feng subconsciously licked his lips. It was so wonderful. There was no time that he could feel better than now.
A burst of heavy footsteps came from behind, and it was obvious that the other party was deliberately reminding him.
"Tianxiong?" Wu Feng did not look back, his eyes were still looking forward. This is the highest point of the entire Zhaipu Ferry. Almost the entire Zhaipu Ferry City can be seen from here. The interior of the Zhaipu Ferry City is always bright and dark. In summer, the grass by the river and the firefly-like lights look a little dark and a bit cold in this cool summer night.
"Sir." His majestic body looked extraordinarily calm and his bearing was as impressive as a mountain, but in front of this young man with his back turned to him, Song Tianxiong felt like he was standing tall on a mountain. The blurry figure under the dark sky always made it impossible for me to guess what the young man was thinking before showing off. Maybe this was the difference between me and him.
"How's the situation?" The young man in front of him still didn't look back, and his voice seemed very calm.
"Back to your lord, the inventory of the treasury is not expected to be completed until tomorrow morning. It is initially estimated that the number of gold bars exceeds 100,000, as well as some other floating wealth, which is of high value; a large number of gems and gems were found in the Palace of Fire (Palace of the Chief). It is estimated that their chieftain had no time to take away the treasures when he fled, but there is no gold or silver; other targets are also under control, and the entire inventory operation is expected to last until tomorrow afternoon before it comes to an end." Song Tianxiong's words were full of respect. Short answer.
"Hmm, Tianxiong seems to have something on his mind?" Turning around slowly, Wu Feng focused his attention on the man in military uniform in front of him. Cui Wenxiu led his army to attack Selmes, and the entire Zhaipu Crossing situation was decided by him. Responsible, it seems that the other party is a little worried. "Let's talk and listen.
"Sir, I believe that our current military strength in Zhaipudu City is too weak. The enemy's prisoners have now exceeded 25,000. In addition, there are still a large number of private prisoners who are still being escorted. Mr. Cui has left. We only have There are 15,000 troops. Just to guard the prisoners will require more than 10,000 troops. I am worried that if the residents in the city are - at dawn, we may not be able to control the situation." Song Tianxiong looked a little nervous, but he still gritted his teeth and said own concerns. There are more than 150,000 residents in Jaipur Ferry City, and many nobles who are not the targets of this operation have a considerable number of private soldiers. There is still an undetermined number of them. Once things spread tonight, it will be difficult to Imagine how the already disturbed nobles would react. Since I have taken on this responsibility, I must take these unexpected factors into consideration, otherwise I will be too passive once it breaks out.
With his face straightened, Wu Feng was shocked and asked in a deep voice, "Are there any signs?"
"Nothing has been discovered yet, but I'm worried that if there are people with ulterior motives inciting it after dawn, I'm afraid we won't be able to tell." After a pause, "There are too many prisoners, and the place where they are being held is not suitable. I think we are Isn't it possible to escort a group of people out of the city for detention at night? To prevent them from being affected by other factors in the city." Song Tianxiong hesitated and made his suggestion again and again. He also knew that this suggestion was not appropriate, but for the sake of safety, he had to take action.
"No, it's going to be dawn soon. Once the situation is resolved during the escort, I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome." Shaking his head to reject this opinion, Wu Feng turned his eyes to the east, where the horizon had begun to turn slightly white. "Don't worry too much , the Pangzha people are not united internally, and the struggles among their various levels are also fierce. As long as we do not touch the interests of the middle class, we estimate that they will continue to wait and see for a while. As long as we wait until the day after tomorrow, our follow-up troops arrive, All problems will be solved.”
Wu Feng also discovered that he had made a major omission, which he and others had not considered during the original military meeting, that is, those nobles who were not included in the target range still had a certain amount of private property in their hands. Army, what will these nobles think at this time? Although they are not in power and belong to the group with no aspirations, they are all nobles after all. Will they take risks and rise up to resist? Moreover, Wu Feng did not expect that the Pangzhe people would leave such a large number of prisoners, which really added to a problem for Wu Feng. Song Tianxiong was very thoughtful. If he ignored this, he might be in big trouble.
"But-" Song Tianxiong hesitated before speaking.
"Tianxiong, there is no need to say more, I understand. You immediately disrupt the noble private soldiers, escorts, and guards, then separate them into several groups and imprison them, and try to create chaos and mutual distrust among them. I listen. He said that the relationship between the guards and the guards was not harmonious to begin with. Let them restrain each other and prevent them from cohesion. Strengthen monitoring and suppress any abnormal movements immediately!" Wu Feng's face was stern, obviously aware of the seriousness of the problem. He said at the end In one sentence, his voice was fierce, and his murderous intent was revealed between his teeth.
"Yes, sir." Song Tianxiong was refreshed.
"In addition, immediately send people to announce a curfew and strengthen patrols. No one is allowed to enter or leave the streets, no shops are allowed to open, and everyone is asked to stay at home. Gatherings are strictly prohibited and anyone who violates the order will be executed! This will prevent everyone from understanding the actual situation last night. , as long as we delay it for one day, we can win."
"Yes!" Song Tianxiong stood up, saluted, and was about to leave.
"Tianxiong, send someone to escort the collected materials back first and do it secretly." When he said this, Wu Feng lowered his voice and showed no expression on his face.
Even Wufeng knew that he had made a huge mistake, or that he had taken a huge risk. He really ignored the nobles outside the target. At this time, Cui Wenxiu's cavalry was already running. He was hundreds of miles away. He had already considered this problem. He would rather give up Selmes than take this risk, because the risk was too great and not worth it.
