Chapter 185 Gold is Dazzling (Part [-])
After careful questioning of these islanders, they learned about this family named Furumiya, who had ruled Kyushu Island for more than 200 years.
There are four large settlements within a radius of 100 miles, and there are more than 4000 households of other ethnic groups living scattered in the four places, with a total of more than [-] people.
Of the 2000 people that the patriarch and his son brought into the mountain, half were children of their family, and the rest were children of retainers who had been attached to their family for more than 200 years.
Upon hearing the news, Xiao Qi decided to send two thousand cavalry to block all the roads leading into the mountain.
As a result, those who entered the mountain did not receive any news or help from the outside world.
After sealing the ears and eyes of these people, secretly send people to keep an eye on all these people who live outside, and quietly arrest and interrogate all of them who have left the place of residence.
As for those members of the Guwei Valley family who were scattered outside, and the families of those retainers who were attached to the Guweigu family, they all took advantage of midnight to raid and interrogate people, and if they resisted, they would be killed without mercy.
All these arrangements were quietly completed overnight. On the day when these people who lived outside were cut off from those who entered the mountain, more than 40 people who came out from various places were arrested.
Half of these people actually wanted to go into the mountain, and were going to report the outside news to Gu Weigu and his son.
At first these people who were arrested wanted to pretend to be tough guys and refused to answer questions.
However, the soldiers of these brave troops were all killed in the sea of corpses and blood, and most of the scouts in the cavalry army had experience in catching opponents for interrogation and extorting confessions.
After a while, these people who are usually arrogant and domineering on this island of Kyushu began to cry and confess.
I don't know if it's because the Tani Otani father and son felt that their family had repelled the attacks of the shoguns who were in power on the island, and the expansion was too strong.
It is also because the children and retainers of these families have entered the mountains too many times.
Guwei Valley has several hiding places in the mountains, and the four gathering places of the four Guwei Valley families outside were established for their respective reasons.
Which settlement is the most tightly guarded, all mined gold that is not traded is stored there, which settlement stores all food supplies, and which settlement is completely a secret base for trainers to establish.
These circumstances were quickly sent to Xiao Qi's hands.
Xiao Qi didn't doubt the results of these interrogations at all, because he knew that those soldiers must have interrogated the captured people separately. to him.
After reading the results of these interrogations, Xiao Qi ordered that the payment of the family members and those retainers living scattered outside Guwei Valley can begin.
These battle-hardened brave soldiers fought on the battlefield all day long, stealing camps and camps a lot.
How could those distant relatives of the Taniotani family living abroad on the island, and the families of those retainers, be able to guard against a sneak attack by these people!
Those scouts sneaked into these people's homes, touched the guards and opened the door, and then a large group of people rushed in to arrest people, and all those who resisted were quickly killed.
Some of the scouts who were infiltrated even got rid of them in their sleep.
The next step is to interrogate these arrested people again. Except for those who have some status in the Guwei family, these people don't know much about them.
The explanations given by people with some status in the Tanweiya family were similar to the results of the previous interrogation.
Next, Xiao Qi had people interrogate, who knew the location of the gold mine, the output of the gold mine mined, and the situation of those people in the mountains.
The result of this interrogation made Xiao Qi overjoyed.
Bonanza!
It is definitely a very high-quality bonanza!
The output of gold is too high, much higher than the output of the best gold rich mine in Song Dynasty.
Moreover, according to a family member who participated in transporting gold, there was a darkroom in the settlement that was dedicated to storing gold. The amount of mined gold stored in it and the amount of silver that the Taniotani family had exchanged for gold over the past hundred years was astonishing.
Xiao Qi made a rough estimate based on the piled volume they explained. The gold can no longer be calculated in two and catties. The gold should at least be more than one meal, and the silver is more than ten tons!
What a big surprise, is there such a thing?
However, the situation in the mountains is not optimistic. The Guwei Valley family has been operating in the mountains for so many years, and the several secret lands they built were all built in response to being forced into the mountains.
Every selected terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and after so many years of improvement, not only has each hiding place become indestructible, but also the grain stored in each secret place is enough for these 2000 people to feed for more than a year.
The food stored in these four dense places is enough for these 2000 people to take them in the mountains for more than five years without going hungry.
This made Xiao Qi's plan to block the outside world, follow up the contacts and supplies of those people in Jinshan, and starve them out bankrupt.
Looking at the mountains more than ten miles away to the south from the window, Xiao Qi couldn't help complaining, if there were cannons from the previous life, no, even if it was a grenadier, he wouldn't have to worry about these turtles hiding in the mountains.
While he was dreaming about having weapons from his previous life, Xiao Qi suddenly thought that he still had two guns.
With those two sniper rifles, these 2000 people are simply not enough for me to clean up by myself!
Thinking of this, Xiao Qi immediately felt refreshed, and took the locations of the four secret lands and gold mines in the mountains that were obtained from the interrogation, and began to study them carefully.
After dinner, I already felt that those people in the mountains were no longer a problem.
Xiao Qi gave an order to raid the settlements of the remaining four Guwei Valley families tonight, be careful, and never be careless, causing unnecessary casualties on your side.
Everyone led the order to go down to prepare for the raid in the middle of the night, while Xiao Qi looked at the places marked on the rough map here under the lamp again, planning his own action plan.
This attack on the four settlements of the four Yaoya families encountered fierce resistance from them.
Because these four places are the most important places of the Guwei family, there are a large number of defenders here, and the defense facilities are also very complete.
Although the brave army already knew the situation in these places very well after previous explanations, none of the people they sent out these days came back, and none of the people who came to contact them from the mountains were seen again.
These situations have attracted the attention of these people, and the number of defense personnel has been increased to the limit every day.
The brave army scouts who sneaked in sneaked in and touched the guards beside the gates. As soon as they opened the gates, the movement made by opening the gates was heard by other guards.
Suddenly the sneak attack turned into a strong attack!
Fortunately, the Valiant Army has already figured out the situation in those places, and because most of the young and strong members of the Guwei Valley family have already been brought into the mountains by the father and son of the Guwei Valley family patriarch.
The remaining hundreds of guards everywhere, how could it be that the brave army has experienced many battles, piled up countless Jingguan, and each of them has practiced a few "Evil Resisting Knife Manual" and they are much more fierce and murderous opponents than them.
In the end, the brave army only paid the price of wounding more than 100 people, more than 800 people were seriously injured, and none of them died in battle. They hacked and killed more than [-] guards in these four Guwei Valley family settlements, and seized these four places.
After receiving the news that these four places had been captured, Xiao Qi immediately went to the place where the gold was stored, and entered the secret room alone.
As soon as he entered the secret room, Xiao Qi was stunned by the scene in front of him. This underground secret room was built very large, fully four meters wide, two meters high, and 20 meters deep.
There are silver ingots about two meters wide, one meter high and nearly four meters long outside. These silver should be a large amount of silver exchanged for gold by several generations of the Guwei family.
After all, the main currency here is silver. Until hundreds of years later, the copper coins they used were still exchanged with China for silver. It is impossible for these people to buy things with gold.
The innermost part of this secret room is stacked with gold that is much smaller than the silver outside. These golds should have been refined using the best refining techniques here.
Under the reflection of the torch in Xiao Qi's hand, each gold ingot faintly glowed with a little purple in the dazzling bright yellow. Xiao Qi roughly estimated that these gold ingots were at least one and a half tons.
Without wasting time, Xiao Qi put nearly a ton and a half of gold into his warehouse.
Xiao Qi didn't move at all the gold that the Tani family in the secret room bought in exchange for gold, which filled nearly one-fifth of the secret room's silver. He knew that he would send it back to Song Dynasty along with the large amount of silver mined here.
The exchange ratio between silver and gold in the Great Song Dynasty will soon change from three to one to ten to one or even lower.
Thank you for the reward of Daxie Tears of Water 2008.
