Xiao County, the old residence of the Xu family.

Liu Juntao, accompanied by Bai Yuxing and Tao Jixin, walked around the Xu family's old house, looked at the mess all over the ground, and couldn't help shaking his head, and said to the two: "Gather Xu Zhaohui's family and hand them all over to Xuzhou Mansion." ”

Tao Jixin clenched his fists and led his life.

Bai Yuxing said: "Mr. Lian, Xu Zhaohui's body is over there. ”

Liu Juntao said in a deep voice: "It will also be handed over to Xuzhou Mansion for disposal." How much money and food does the Xu family have? ”

Bai Yuxing shook his head and said, "It's not clear, Mr. Zhang Qian is leading people to investigate." ”

While he was talking, Zhang Xiaojun walked over quickly and said excitedly: "Mr. Lian!" After a preliminary inventory, we seized a total of 230,000 taels of silver, 150,000 stone grains, and a large number of blades and baggage from the Xu family in this battle! ”

Liu Juntao also smiled, although the amount of these seizures was huge, but now that the family in Yushan Town has a big business, these money and food will not make Liu Juntao too happy.

After contemplation, Liu Juntao said to Zhang Xiaojun: "Give all those blades and baggage to Xuzhou Mansion, and hand over half of the money and grain, and let the brothers of the baggage department transport the rest of the money and grain to Qulipu." ”

At this time, Zhang Xiaojun suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, there are still more than 8,000 captives over there in Qulipu, and they will also be handed over to Xuzhou Mansion?" ”

"Of course."

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Transfer those Xu family horses to the past, and we can leave more than 27,000 miners behind!" ”

Zhang Xiaojun also understood when he heard this, so he said with a smile: "Then I will first gather those miners and sort them out, and clean up the diehards among them, so that they can be used by our Yushan Town." ”

"Good!"

A few days later, Zhang Xiaojun cleaned up more than 27,000 miners, and handed over all the die-hard members of the Xu family and those who were unwilling to take refuge in Yushan Town to the Xuzhou government, about 1,000 people.

The remaining more than 26,000 miners were all temporarily reorganized, and Zhang Xiaojun led the headquarters to escort the young men to Qulipu.

At this time, all the captives of Qulipu, as well as some of the captures of the Xu family, had been handed over to the Xuzhou Mansion.

The prefect of Xuzhou was smiling when he saw these captures and prisoners, and together with the Wolf Mountain garrison, he also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the matter did not affect him, and it was finally over.

At this time, seeing that the Yushan Town Guards had made great contributions, uprooting the Xu family that had been entrenched in Xuzhou Mansion for a long time, the Xuzhou Prefect and the Wolf Mountain Garrison had issued official documents to commend the Yushan Town Guards, and Ren Chengwei also said that he wanted to go to the imperial court and ask for credit for Liu Juntao and the Yushan Town Guards and the Yanzhou Mansion Militia Group.

But at the same time, Xuzhou Mansion and Ren Chengwei also issued a document urging Liu Juntao to rectify his men as soon as possible, so as to pursue the thieves of Ye Zongliu's department who had fled to Qingzhou Mansion as soon as possible.

After Liu Juntao dealt with the delivery of the Xuzhou Mansion, he handed over the old house of the Xu family together, and then led the Chinese military department to Qulipu.

After that, Liu Juntao ordered Tang Yu and Guo Yongzhong to take the people of the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Civil Affairs to Xuzhou as soon as possible, and prepared to organize the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Civil Affairs to enter Xuzhou Mansion in an all-round way.

At this time, all the industries of the Xu family were waiting for the Ministry of Commerce to take over, and Tang Yu had a heavy burden on his shoulders; And Guo Yongzhong is not easy to go anywhere, because the Yellow River burst the embankment, although the Xuzhou government hurriedly sent people to rescue the disaster afterwards, and the gap in the Yellow River embankment is not very large, but it also flooded a lot of farmland, villages and towns, Guo Yongzhong must lead the Ministry of Civil Affairs to buy these wastelands as soon as possible, and organize the displaced people to resume production.

At the same time, Liu Juntao also sent an order to Zhang Baigui, ordering him to take the people of the Yushan Military Bureau south to Xuzhou as soon as possible, and prepare to set up the Xuzhou Ordnance Institute, which was located in Qulipu, and many of the Xu's minerals were also under the jurisdiction of the Xuzhou Ordnance Institute to be established.

After Tang Yu, Guo Yongzhong, and Zhang Baigui received the order, they were all overjoyed, and now that the Xu family has fallen, the remnants of Ye Zong's handsome army have fled for their lives, and all the enemies in Yushan Town have been defeated, and everyone has a sigh of relief in their hearts.

So, the three of them reorganized their own personnel and seized the time to go south to Xuzhou.

At the same time, the heroes, gentry, and wealthy families in Shandong also received invitations from Liu Juntao.

This time, Liu Juntao is ready to use the cake of Xuzhou Mansion as an introduction to let the heroes, gentry, and wealthy families from all over Shandong come in to do business together, so that everyone can unite tightly around Yushan Town and form a community of interests.

Originally, when the Xu family was still there, all parties in Shandong could not enter Xuzhou to do business, and the big business of the entire Xuzhou Mansion was monopolized by the Xu family.

But now that it is good, Yushan Town not only destroyed the Xu family, but also took the initiative to invite all forces in Shandong to enter Xuzhou to seek wealth, which immediately made all parties have a good impression of Yushan Town, and sent people to Xuzhou Qulipu to thank Liu Juntao, and took the initiative to say that they would look forward to Liu Juntao.

In this way, Liu Juntao stayed in Qulipu for more than half a month, and it was not until he received the people sent by various forces that it came to an end.

At this time, Liu Zi'an also hurried back with the men and horses of the Investigation Department, bringing some of the latest information.

"Mr. Lian, Mr. Zhou Qian sent a message, and now the thieves of Ye Zongliu's department have flowed into the hinterland of Qingzhou Mansion, and have begun to rob and coerce the people everywhere, and the thieves have risen again! Although Zhou Qian tried his best to curb the development of Ye Zongliu's bandits, he was unable to effectively contain the lack of troops. ”

"Moreover, the officers and soldiers of Qingzhou Mansion are insufficient, and they do not have the strength to fight with the thieves of Ye Zongliu's department, so they can only stick to the cities in various places. Now the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture has reported to Jinan Prefecture and asked Ren Chengwei to send troops to support. ”

Liu Juntao frowned and listened quietly, and then asked, "Does the commander of Ren Chengwei Lei have an order?" ”

"Nope!"

Liu Zi'an said: "Commander Lei sent someone to contact, saying that the matter of Xuzhou was entrusted to President Lian, and as for when to enter Qingzhou Mansion, it all depends on President Lian's decision." ”

"Humph!"

Liu Juntao snorted coldly and said: "Our Commander Lei is very good, but he has thrown all the responsibilities over, he is really good at being a man!" ”

Liu Zi'an also frowned, and said: "Mr. Lian, I think it's better for us to enter the army as soon as possible, and we can't let Ye Zongliu's thieves develop anymore!" ”

Liu Juntao sighed and said, "I understand too!" It's just that there were too many things a while ago, and if we don't deal with the affairs of the Xu family, so many captives will have trouble in the south, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for us to make trouble behind the army. Fortunately, now that the matter has been dealt with almost completely, I immediately sent the order, and two days later, the army went north to Qingzhou Mansion. ”

Liu Zi'an let out a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Lian, then I will send someone to inform Mr. Zhou Qian, so that he can prepare to join the main force." ”

Liu Juntao nodded, and then instructed: "I also want to tell Yan Hu, Chen Ziping, and Hu Dexing that we must guard against our rear to prevent Ye Zongliu from jumping over the wall to raid Yushan Town, Dongpingzhou and other places, if you find any abnormalities, you must report to me in time!" ”

Liu Zi'an was also taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "This matter is very important, I will hurry up and announce it!" ”

At the same time, Zhou Zongsheng was leading the young men of his department to wander in the south of Qingzhou Mansion, looking for an opportunity to raid Ye Zong's remaining bandits.

But at this time, Ye Zongliu had already learned to be obedient, gathered all the tens of thousands of horses under his command, and never gave Zhou Zongsheng any opportunity to take advantage of.

Moreover, every time the thieves of Ye Zongliu's department beat a village and town, the men and horses under his command could grow by one point, which made Zhou Zongsheng very anxious, but he was helpless.

At this moment, Liu Juntao's order to arrive came, which made Zhou Zongsheng feel uplifted, and immediately led his men and horses to continuously attack and harass Ye Zong's subordinates, so that he had no time to take care of the looting for the time being, and bought time for the main force led by Liu Juntao to arrive.
