After a rough cleaning of the battlefield, the time was already in the second half of the night, and no matter how bold the Zhang family was in Rizhao, they did not dare to let thousands of other troops enter the dock fort at this time, so everyone could only make do with the night on the beach or on the boat.

Early the next morning, the Dock Fort owners sent their soldiers back to the battlefield to see if there was anything left, and in the eyes of the poor northern Dock Fort people, even a piece of scrap metal had its own unique value.

Of course, this kind of thing does not need to be done by the owner of the dock fort in person, they each marked the ships they grabbed, and then took their cronies to Rizhao Private Port to participate in the celebration banquet held by the Zhang family.

For this banquet, the Zhang family also calculated the blood cost, they specially vacated a brick house with a sufficient area, and carried out emergency renovations, many slightly dilapidated places were even covered with festive cotton cloth or silk cloth.

There were six large round tables in the house, which were filled with the luxurious wine and meat dishes of the Jiangbei region at this time, and the leaders of the family who could speak were dispatched to welcome the reinforcements of the dock fort owners and the heads of the various fleets in the port.

For the Zhang family, the attack of the Japanese invaders was a disaster with extremely heavy losses, not only because the family lost a large number of personnel and materials in the battle, but also because the farmland of the surrounding families was completely abandoned, and after the port was targeted by the Japanese invaders, the temporary resting fleet dared to anchor in Rizhao in the future.

However, Seon lost his horse, and this unrest has developed into the current situation, but it has become a great thing - the widows have lost dozens of shares in one go, hundreds of ships, thousands of personnel, and even a great commander in it, and those fleets passing by in the future will only feel that Rizhao Port is extremely safe - it is a kind of safety for the poor to not be noticed, and it is also a kind of safety for the strong to be able to kill all the snoopers.

In the future, more and more merchant ships will come to Rizhao Port to berth, and the income that the port can bring to Zhangjia will naturally rise rapidly.

Another point is the large and small Japanese ships that were captured, and the ships that the Japanese rode on were not all Fuso ships, in fact, the sea ships built in Jiangnan were more popular because of their excellent performance and low price.

In particular, Fuchuan Guangchuan, these ships with excellent performance are sought-after goods everywhere, even if they are not used to transport their own goods, they are worth hundreds of copper coins if they are sold directly.

And those small boats, even if they were used as fishing boats, were enough to make up for the losses suffered in the previous battle.

After such a careful calculation, after experiencing a war, the Zhang family not only did not lose money, but made a lot of money, how could this not be celebrated?

In the banquet hall, the four heads of the Zhang family, the Wang family, the Ding family, and the Bao family sat alone on the large round table in the back, and there were also two brothers Xu Shiyang and Xu Shiliu who were out of the limelight at this table.

Among them, the Zhang family values Xu Shiliu, because his heroic posture of chasing and killing the Japanese is too dazzling.

And the other three families value Xu Shiyang more, because they all know who the person who really agreed to this battle is.

The relationship between the Zhang family and the other three families was not as harmonious as it seemed, so the two factions did not inform each other of their opinions, which gave Xu Shiyang and Xu Shiliu a good space to operate.

The last two tables near the gate of the banquet hall were prepared for the stewards of the various fleets moored in Rizhao's private port, these people also had a certain say in their respective families, and when the Japanese besieged the fort, their subordinate sailors contributed a lot, so the Zhang family also invited them all to this celebration banquet.

Three people came to the Xu family's fleet this time - Xu Muqing, the steward of the Changfang fleet, Xu Mufeng, the steward of the Erfang fleet, and Xu Muze, the accountant who caused the siege of the city.

The three of them are all members of the Xu family, and they are all uncles of the Xu Shiyang brothers, but they are not brothers to each other, and their relationship is not very harmonious.

The reason is very simple, there is a little competition between the fleet of the long house and the second room, and Xu Muqing and Xu Mufeng both want to be in charge of the entire family's fleet, instead of managing it separately as they are now.

And Xu Muze used to be the owner of the castle, and he belonged to the new transfer student to the fleet, because his surname was Xu, and he could pose a certain threat to the status of the two, so he was not treated by the two at the same time.

Seeing the three of them enter the house together, Xu Shiyang stood up from the table with an expressionless face and walked towards them.

"Saburo Goro! You're here! ”

Xu Muze, who caused a big mess, seemed to see his relatives, and almost burst into tears, he opened his arms, as if he wanted to hug Xu Shiyang, who was coming to him.

"Uncle Clan, my nephew has a question for you." Xu Shiyang took a step back, quietly avoided the other party's bear hug, then took out the horsewhip from his waist, and said coldly in front of dozens of castle masters of the five families: "Where did you get the gold you gave to your sister in the Jiangnan Academy?" ”

Even if you are a fool, you can know that the situation is not good by looking at Xu Shiyang's attitude.

What's more, Xu Muze was not stupid, he took a step back sharply, and said in horror: "Third brother, what are you going to do?" What to do? Put the whip down! I'm your uncle! ”

With a crisp snap, the cowhide horsewhip seized from the Tartar slammed into Xu Muze's face, bringing out a bloody cut on his left cheek.

"Ahh

Xu Muze hugged his head and rolled on the floor of the banquet hall crying, dozens of dock castle owners and the little maids who were serving food and pouring tea all looked at Xu Shiyang with surprised eyes, and even one maid accidentally broke the teacup in surprise.

Everyone hates Xu Muze, who caused trouble, but for the sake of the Xu family (mainly for the sake of the Xu family's force value), everyone plans to expose this matter and not mention it, but they didn't expect that it was the Xu family's own juniors who stood up and taught Xu Muze a lesson as soon as they met!

"Stand up."

Xu Shiyang looked at Xu Muze condescendingly, and said coldly:

"How are you going to be embarrassed?"

Xu Muze ignored him, still rolling on the ground and crying.

So Xu Shiyang didn't say more, raised the horsewhip and whipped him again, and then again, and then ...... again.

Bang bang, the banquet hall echoed with a dense whipping sound, Xu Shiyang didn't say a word, and beat Xu Muze with an expressionless face, the latter was full of anger at first, and after a while, he even cried weakly, and gradually stopped rolling, obviously Xu Shiyang didn't spare his hand at all, and hit extremely hard.

The castle lord next to him didn't dare to persuade him, and one by one he cowered and hid by the wall, and several family masters-level figures opened their mouths, but they didn't know what to say.

Only Xu Shiliu, who had long known what his brother was going to do, had a knowing smile on his face, picked up a large piece of fish belly, and gently put it in his mouth.

Well! Delicious!

"Gorou, let's persuade Brother Ling, something will happen if you continue to fight like this." The head of the Zhang family couldn't help it, and gently persuaded Xu Shiliu in his ear: "No matter how you say it, you will win, why is San Lang so troubled?" ”
