Chapter 316 The Death Squad in Action
Xunfang Pavilion is a newly opened brothel that opened a month ago, and it is also Wang Wenzhou's current hiding place.
While Wang Wenzhou was training his elite assassins, he sent men to Shengjing to open this brothel. Wu Sangui walked through the door with a mournful face. He used to frequent brothels and visit prostitutes; men, after all, need some hobbies. But now, even if he wanted to have that hobby, he couldn't.
Led by the madam, Wang Wenzhou entered the secret room. This secret room was specially built by Wang Wenzhou to prevent the Tartars from discovering it when they searched the city.
"Xiao Jiang, go out and gather today's results. Also, pass on the order that everyone except the teams carrying out the 'Wildfire Plan' should hide on the spot. If they are discovered and cannot escape, they can surrender according to the surrender terms. I will find a way to rescue them later," Wang Wenzhou instructed.
Jiang Zhenghe frowned and asked in confusion, "Master, why were they allowed to surrender?"
Wang Wenzhou explained, "Those who successfully complete a mission and survive are all talented individuals. Initially, I didn't intend for them to live, but now I've changed my mind. After all, they've received my training and are already qualified suicide squad members. It would be too wasteful to send them to their deaths in vain. Even if they are to die, they should do it like the little monster team that bombed the Qing Gate today, making the enemy pay a heavy price."
"I understand, I will go and pass on the order immediately." Jiang Zhenghe accepted the order and left.
……
Outside Shengjing, there is a vast expanse of lush green wheat fields. In Liaodong, winter wheat is grown, sown in the winter of the previous year and harvested in the autumn of the following year.
Now, the wheat seedlings are more than a finger's length long, somewhat resembling chives. When the cold wind blows, the wheat seedlings sway gently.
It was already late, and no one noticed that the three carriages stopped, and ten people quickly got off.
These ten people were part of a team tasked with carrying out Operation Wildfire, codenamed "Fire Phoenix."
Fire Phoenix 001 said softly, "Brothers, hurry up."
The team members nodded and worked together seamlessly to unload their equipment from the wagon. In no time, ten people, each carrying a large wooden bucket, lined up and began spraying oil into the wheat field.
The large wooden barrel resembles a pesticide sprayer used in later times, and was designed by Wang Wenzhou. The barrel was filled entirely with vegetable oil; unfortunately, Ming Dynasty technology was unable to refine petroleum.
Half an hour later, all the wheat seedlings in the dozen or so hectares were sprayed with oil. Fire Phoenix 001 smiled, took out a tinderbox and lit it.
The fire ignited quickly upon contact with the oil, and the burning wheat field grew larger and larger.
Phoenix 001 said, "Hurry up and get in the car. We'll go get more oil and head to the next location. I wonder if the people at the portal have prepared the oil yet."
That night, wildfires raged across Liaodong, turning all the wheat that the people of Liaodong had worked so hard to plant into ashes overnight.
To ensure the plan's success, Wang Wenzhou spared no expense. The vegetable oil alone was worth 40 taels of silver, some of which was purchased in Liaodong, while the rest was smuggled from the Ming Dynasty to Liaodong. The people from the teleportation portal spent more than half a month just preparing the vegetable oil for tonight.
……
Gaiping County was formerly known as Gaizhouwei. After the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty, it was renamed Gaiping County.
A few days ago, Wang Yanzan, the magistrate of Gaiping County, encountered a girl on the street who was selling herself to bury her father. The girl was very pretty, and her asking price was very cheap, only five taels of silver.
Wang Yanzan then bought the girl and took her home. Later, he learned that the girl's name was Yang Wanqiu.
Wang Yanzan was certainly no saint either. That very night, he slept with Yang Wanqiu. After all, he bought such a beautiful girl just to sleep with her. Because of Yang Wanqiu's pitiful background and her striking beauty, Wang Yanzan slept very comfortably and took her as his concubine the next day.
Yang Wanqiu was also very sensible. Although she was very much liked by Wang Yanzan, she was very respectful to Madam Yang. Moreover, she was very capable. From the moment she stepped into Wang Yanzan's house, she took the initiative to do even the rough work such as washing and cooking.
That night, Wang Yanzan and his family of ten ate dinner and went to bed. Wang Yanzan never imagined that they would never wake up again, because their dinner had been drugged.
Yang Wanqiu was also a trained assassin under Wang Wenzhou. Their mission was simple: to assassinate Tatar officials. Their methods of approaching Later Jin officials were all similar, following the same pattern. For the first few days, they would gain their trust, and on the day of the mission, they would poison their food.
Listening to the night watchman's drum outside, it was already past four in the morning, and dawn was approaching.
Yang Wanqiu went to the kitchen and came out carrying a cleaver. Then she went from room to room, chopping off the heads of the people who had already been poisoned.
Yang Wanqiu did all this in accordance with the assassination rules set by Wang Wenzhou. The poison Wang Wenzhou used was not arsenic, which was undetectable with Ming Dynasty technology. Wang Wenzhou wanted to have a backup plan, which is why he had the female assassins cut off the enemy's head.
On the other hand, such a terrifying scene could also intimidate the Tartar people, making everyone under Tartar rule feel insecure.
After chopping off everyone's heads, Yang Wanqiu wiped the sweat from her forehead. Even though the people were dead, chopping off their heads was really hard work, even more tiring than chopping ribs.
Then, Yang Wanqiu picked up a pen and wrote several bloody characters on the living room wall: "The war will not end, the holy war will not cease! Those who submit to the Tartars shall be killed by everyone!"
Yang Wanqiu looked at the words on the wall and thought they were correct. Actually, she had never been to school and couldn't read. These words were the only ones she knew how to write, and she had learned them in the Special Blood Anti-Espionage Camp.
It's time to go! Otherwise, she'll be discovered. With that thought, Yang Wanqiu shouldered her bundle and walked out of the county government office. The bundle was full of gold and silver jewelry. According to the rules for guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines set by Wang Wenzhou, all spoils of war belong to the individual. In other words, Yang Wanqiu had now become a wealthy woman. As long as she escaped with the bundle and went into hiding, she could start her life anew.
However, Yang Wanqiu did not do so. She still had family and children in the Ming Dynasty. If she fled, her family would face Wang Wenzhou's revenge. On the other hand, Yang Wanqiu also felt that she was now fighting for the Ming Dynasty, fighting so that its people would no longer be enslaved by the Tartars. Whether it was a threat or a moral imperative, Yang Wanqiu strode towards the assembly point.
When Yang Wanqiu arrived at the meeting point, all ten members of her group, codenamed "Poison Spider," were present.
Poison Spider 001 said, "Since the sisters have all successfully completed their mission, Gaiping County will definitely be in chaos after dawn. At that time, we will take advantage of the chaos to escape. The people at the teleportation portal have already prepared clothes for us, so everyone, please change."
In a small county like Gaiping, there were at most a dozen or so officials. If all the county officials and their families were killed overnight, it would be strange if Gaiping didn't descend into chaos!
In no time, the poisonous spiders changed their clothes and became completely different from the ten beautiful women who were loved by everyone. After makeup, they either became inconspicuous men or ugly old women.
