After getting the assurance that she would only raid the house and not kill people, Lin Wan'er silently stepped forward to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and when she was about to go out, she seemed to want to stop and say something, but between her breaths, she bit her thin lip and pushed the door away.

After the door was closed, Zhou Shixiang turned his head to look at the oil lamp on the table, the wick was already half burned, and only half of the fire oil was left, with the jump of the flames, his fingers knocked lightly on the table. After a long time, there was a heavy blow on the desktop.

In the early hours of the morning, Wu Qingde's house, who had walked towards the pedestrian division, was the first to come to the Taiping Army, and Ge Yi, the chief flag officer who led the team, shook a piece of paper in front of his eyes after seeing Wu Qingde, and ordered the soldiers behind him to rush in and raid the house.

Wu Qingde, who had been ready to let blood again, never expected that the Taiping Camp would directly raid his home, so he was shocked and wanted to refuse to fight, trying his best to tell his identity as a Ming official, but the chief flag officer of the Taiping Camp did not pay attention to him at all, and he took the lead in checking the stack of sleeves.

Xiucai met a soldier, and it was unreasonable.

In front of him, there were Taiping soldiers copying around his home like bandits, and in his ears were the exclamations of his own female dependents, and there were occasional angry scoldings from soldiers. He was dizzy, and the old and young of the Wu family were even more panicked and cried.

The same scene was staged at the same time in the Nanjing Ministry of Industry Director Qi Yuantai's family, Huai'an Futong's Zhang Chang's family, Datong Mipu Lin's family, Taida Buxing Yang's family, and Luoding's largest landlord Zhao family, and their performances were different.

Qi Yuantai seems to have known that the Taiping Camp will be like this, after the soldiers entered, they took the whole family to retreat, and they didn't dare to say a word throughout the whole process, and no one in their family dared to scold a word, and even made the housekeeper follow the Taiping Army with the keys to the large and small warehouses at home, and the other party could open whatever door he wanted, so it can be said that he could not cooperate anymore. From beginning to end, Qi Yuantai maintained the same kind of face, that is, he was neither happy nor angry, but the chill in his eyes never disappeared.

Zhang Changquan, who was bedridden with a little cold, heard that after hearing that the Taiping camp came to the door, he was so frightened that he hid under the bed, and his concubine Wu couldn't find him, but the old man found a short sight and fell into the well, and was so frightened that he cried. After Zhang Changquan was dragged out from under the bed by the Taiping army, Wu stepped forward to hug him and still cried.

The Yang family and the Zhao family, the big landlords, were a little bold, but they were limited to verbal accusations and scolding, but they did not dare to take action, and let the Taiping army loot all the food and valuable items in their homes. There were also some women in the two families who wanted to hide the gold and silver, but after one woman was torn off her skirt in public and dropped a small bag of gold and silver sandwiched between her thighs, no one dared to hide it privately, and honestly handed over her things, so as not to be naked in public.

Zhou Shixiang has been prepared for the possible violence in the process of raiding his home, in addition to prohibiting unprovoked homicide and rape. Except for adulterous women, other things are tolerated. Of course, a well-disciplined army was his dream, but he would never dream of it when he could not solve the problem of food and clothing for his soldiers.

The only thing that makes people "impressed" is Lin Wanfu, who is laughed at by everyone on weekdays, before the Taiping army arrived at his house, he opened the door of his house, knelt on the ground with a family, and presented the key to the account book to Zhao Sihai, who came to confiscate, saying that he was willing to take the whole family to the Taiping camp, and asked the Taiping to stay, and the little old man was also willing to contribute to the Ming Dynasty in his lifetime.

Such a statement made Zhao Sihai embarrassed, and stepped forward to help him up. After Lin Wanfu got up, he complimented Zhao Sihai again, and finally pulled Zhao Sihai in to taste the good tea in Jiangnan.

When the news came, Zhou Shixiang couldn't cry or laugh, because his daughter was by his side, he couldn't handle the matter well, so he pushed it to Song Xianggong for disposal.

The Taiping camp raided the gentry and gentry on a large scale, and there was a lot of noise in the city, some clapping and some panicking.

Compared with the gentry and large households, the raid is quite mild, and for those in Luoding City and the Qing army, the Taiping camp is a thunderbolt method.

Although Zhou Shixiang didn't know that Lu Changyuan had sent someone to Deqing to report secretly, but in the past two days, Song Xianggong told Lu Changchang and others some small actions in the city one by one, although these small actions could not prove that Lu Changchang and others had colluded with the Qing army, nor could they prove that he was in a series of rebellions, but Zhou Shixiang still sentenced Lu Changchang and others to death with the ruthless idea of killing a thousand by mistake rather than letting one go.

Lu Changchang was unwilling to be killed, and led more than a dozen people to resist with weapons, but he was surrounded in the backyard of his house, and after a period of slashing, all of them were ambushed in the courtyard.

After dawn, the big picture is decided.

Since ancient times, most of the people who have the ability to rebel are people with local status and status, especially the gentry, who have a certain amount of money and food resources in their hands, and their status in the eyes of the people on weekdays. However, now the six gentry families headed by Qi Yuantai have been solved by the Taiping Camp, and Lu Changchang and others hidden in the Yamen have also been ambushed. A piece of dirt is far more powerful than a plate of loose sand.

All morning, the Taiping camp was busy transporting the money and grain stolen from these six families to the back camp in Dongcheng, which was very different from the previous six families who complained to Song Xianggong, and the total amount of money and grain copied from their homes was twice as much as what they had already donated.

I don't know how Lin Wanfu did it, when Zhou Shixiang saw him again, he was already the account office of the public treasury, holding an abacus, and taking two family mates to manage the accounts for the Taiping camp.

Zhou Shixiang asked Song Xianggong why he let this Lin Wanfu take care of the accounts, this surnamed Lin can even sell his own daughter for his own interests, and his character cannot but be said to be despicable, I am afraid it is inappropriate to use such a person to manage the accounts. As a result, Song Xianggong's sentence "make the best use of its materials, make the best use of people" made him have nothing to say, think about it carefully, Lin Wanfu can operate the Datong rice shop in Luoding, the poor mountain and bad water, under the war disaster for many years, his family's grain business is also done, and there is no delay, whether it is Ming or Qing, the Lin family can survive, which shows that Lin Wanfu is not useless, and it is not impossible to use him to manage the accounts, and it is impossible to use his business skills to raise grain and grass for the Taiping camp in the future.

The notice of the Zhizhou Yamen was posted in the afternoon, and the notice asked the people of the city to "voluntarily" join the Taiping camp, thinking that they would contribute to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
