Liuchun Garden, Zhang Mengjiao took Jin Shiyang's information and sighed lightly, "This newly appointed political envoy of Jiangsu is also a master who is honest and honest and not afraid of power. Bayi Chinese~"

Yinzhen frowned and said, "Isn't this Chen Pengnian very good, why did Huang Ama transfer another Jin Shiyang?" ”

"The saint should be worried that Chen Pengnian will be implicated in the corruption case of Yi Sigong and Yu Zhun, so he transferred an innocent Jin Shiyang to be Zhang Boxing's partner." Zhang Mengjiao chuckled, "The Holy Lord is very concerned about Liangjiang. ”

"Let them fight, as long as it doesn't get in our way." Yinzhen took a sip of the teacup with a relaxed expression, "Now that it has entered June, timber from all over the country has begun to arrive in Shanghai in a steady stream, and my shipyard will not start until the end of the year at the earliest, you bring a letter to your father, all the timber is used by him first, and the shipwright on my side can also be transferred to him first, and the progress of shipbuilding must be hurried." ”

"Don't worry, my father invited a large number of shipwrights from Suzhou, Jiangning and Quanzhou at the beginning of the year, and now there are four big ships laying keels.

Yinzhen nodded with satisfaction, "Well, your Zhang family's shipyard should also be expanded, tell your father, boldly expand, there will be orders in the future, and the imperial court's restrictions on private shipbuilding may be relaxed, but don't leak this rumor." ”

"Thank you for mentioning." Zhang Mengjiao said excitedly, this is great news, now there are not many craftsmen who can build thousands of big ships, basically all of them have been dug to Shanghai, once the restrictions are lifted, then the orders are not snowflakes?

When Zhang Yuanlong learned of this news, he was greatly excited, and immediately began to prepare for the expansion of the shipyard, but his good mood was soon ruined by the news from his subordinates, and one of his fleets was looted by pirates in the area of the Great Yellow Ocean in the East China Sea, and the losses were huge.

Hearing this news, Zhang Yuanlong couldn't believe it, his Zhang family has been begging for a living at sea for generations, most of the pirates in the East China Sea have friendships, and he also sold a large amount of rice to them last year, how did he grab his head in a blink of an eye? He immediately sent his men to the sea to investigate who was so unruly.

However, the people sent there have not yet heard back, and there are successive fleets robbed on the East China Sea, and in just ten years, six fleets have been robbed, and Zhang Yuanlong has suffered the greatest loss, and two fleets have been robbed one after another.

Originally, Zhang Yuanlong was not going to report to the official, and after finding out whose handiwork it was, he would rely on his personal friendship to find someone to mediate and minimize the loss. However, there were too many ships that were robbed, and some people had already reported the case to the Shanghai county office, and after learning the news, he had no choice but to get the county government for the record.

As soon as Xu Shizhen received the report, he was shocked, this was a big case, and he was relieved, fortunately, this kind of maritime case is not under his jurisdiction, otherwise the top on this head will definitely not be guaranteed, he ordered someone to transfer the case to the Songjiang Haiphong Tongzhi Yamen, and reported it layer by layer. As the prefect of Songjiang, Zhu Yanzhi is not so easy, while sending someone to report it quickly, he rushed to Liuchun Garden, this matter must be quickly informed to Yinzhen, such a big case, I don't know how many officials will be implicated, and I don't know how many officials will be dismissed?

After Zhang Yuanlong went to Yamen for the record, he remembered that his Zhang family fleet was nominally already a Qing ocean trading fleet under the name of the fourteenth prince Yinzhen, so he hurried all the way to Liuchun Garden, and Zhu Yanzhi entered the gate of Liuchun Garden almost at the same time.

Yinzhen immediately concluded that this was a very powerful wandering pirate, and the pirates living on the island generally paid attention to a rabbit and did not eat the grass by the nest, and did not dare to commit such a crazy crime, which was tantamount to asking for a dead end, and such a big case would definitely attract the conquest of the imperial court sailors.

After a little muttering, he wrote a letter to the Jiangnan Governor Shi Yide, and ordered the guards to be sent to Zhenjiang, and when Yinzhen was done, Zhang Yuanlong said carefully: "Fourteenth master, the Zhang family has been walking on the sea for generations, and I also know a few pirates in the East China Sea, you see, do you want to send someone to contact ...... privately." ”

"No, this should be a stream of pirates who have rushed here, dare to rob the fleet, the strength should not be small, send people to the sea, I'm afraid there will be no return." Yin Zhen said lightly: "Besides, such a big case will inevitably attract the attention of the high-level leaders of Liangjiang, and it is certain that troops will be sent to recruit and suppress it, at this time, you had better not do anything abnormal, otherwise, if you are accused of being a bandit, your Zhang family will be in a catastrophe." ”

When Zhang Yuanlong heard this, he was startled, and he didn't dare to have any more selfish thoughts.

Yin Zhen asked in a deep voice, "How big is the loss this time?" ”

Zhang Yuanlong replied honestly, "A total of 26 ships of goods were robbed, five ships were lost, more than 20 people died, and all valuable goods were looted, with a loss of at least more than 200,000 taels." ”

Hearing that the loss was not too big, Yinzhen relieved himself, "Have you talked to the crew members who survived?" ”

Zhang Yuanlong's face couldn't help but turn red, he really didn't ask anything more about the crew members who came back alive, he was just busy counting and verifying the losses, "Fourteenth master, no, as soon as I receive the news, I will rush you here......." ”

"Go talk to them carefully, don't miss any details, since those pirates dare to commit crimes in one place in a row, they should be bold and arrogant, maybe they can ask something." Yinzhen sighed lightly, "You go to the Reading Pavilion first, I will keep an eye on this matter, and I will notify you as soon as there is news." Then, he said to Zhu Yanzhi: "This case happened suddenly, it will inevitably implicate you, you are dismissed and retained, it is nothing more than a fine, and there is nothing to worry about, go back and do business with peace of mind, I will speak for you when I have the opportunity." ”

After getting this sentence, Zhu Yanzhi's heart fell into his stomach, and he said goodbye with a thousand thanks, and Zhang Yuanlong, who went out together, had a painful expression.

The news that the merchant fleet in the East China Sea had been robbed one after another, and that the huge amount of losses had immediately spread from Shanghai to Suzhou, Zhenjiang, and Jiangning.

Suzhou, Jiangsu Governor's Yuan, after Zhang Boxing received the report, he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and ordered people to quickly pass Jiangning and Zhenjiang, and then ordered a battalion to gather Fubiao and hurried to Shanghai.

Zhenjiang, Jiangnan Governor's Mansion, Shi Yide first received a letter from Yinzhen, just read the beginning, he was shocked into a cold sweat, read the letter carefully, he still couldn't believe it, read it from the beginning again, and then immediately ordered to go down, pay attention to check the official documents from Wolf Mountain, Jinshan, Shanghai, Chongming, Suzhou and other places, meditated for a moment, he picked up the pen and wrote an official letter to the general soldiers of Suzhou and Wolf Mountain.

Soon after, he received a report from the prefect of Songjiang Haiphong and Zhang Boxing, and he no longer hesitated, and immediately sealed the two official letters, and then ordered his personal guards to deliver the official letters to the general soldiers of the two towns quickly, and then he led his standard battalion to Suzhou.
