At this time, the Yuan family compound two kilometers away from the north wharf has been surrounded by 600 cavalry regiments, thousands of marines rushed to each village respectively, the roar of abandoning weapons and not killing and crackling gunshots rang out together, and the cry of the entire Chongming Sand Island shook the sky, and the screams were endless.

When Zhu Daolin and Simeno rushed to the Yuan family's compound under the escort of dozens of soldiers, the three heads of the Yuan family's father and son had been cut off by Zhang Yuan, and more than 80 mouths were slaughtered, and the bloody corpses were neatly placed in the center of the wide courtyard.

Zhang Yuan quickly came to Zhu Daolin and reported loudly: "Report to the general, none of the Yuan family has missed the net, more than 100 servants have been escorted to the ancestral hall in the west to take care of them according to the general's requirements, all the granaries and two salt warehouses have been taken, General Shi and the brothers of the garrison battalion are searching the entire courtyard, and it is estimated that they have been seized." ”

"Well done! Dispose of the bodies as soon as possible and keep them out of sight of the villagers. ”

Zhu Daolin sighed with emotion in his heart, he didn't expect Zhang Yuan to start so quickly and ruthlessly, it is estimated that the father and son of the Yuan family would never have dreamed that they would end up like this.

Zhang Yuan replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, general, after a while, they will all be loaded into sacks and loaded onto the ship, transported downstream and thrown into the sea." ”

Zhu Daolin sighed, and bypassed the dense corpses in the pungent blood and entered the main hall of the Yuan family.

Shi Qingyang, who received the urgent report, took out a stack of copied letters and hurried over: "General, these are all evidence of the collusion between the Yuan family and the two pirates wanted by the imperial court. ”

Zhu Daolin took it and looked at it slightly, and handed the letter to Shi Qingyang again: "Put it away, go back and hand it over to Chai Cheng'an, and immediately play the court in the name of Baoshanwei after summarizing, and it must be done in an iron case!" ”

"Understood!"

Shi Qingyang smiled: "The harvest is not small, the three generations of the Yuan family are really rich." Six granaries store at least 50,000 stone of grain, four salt silos are mostly empty and still have 1,200 stone of sea salt, there are more than 40 first-class horses in the backyard horse pen, and the antique furnishings of more than 30 rooms have not been counted clearly, and there are as many as 550,000 taels of Bofu money bank silver tickets copied out. The silver and gold and silver jewellery in the treasury are being counted, and the total is estimated to be no less than two million taels. ”

Zhu Daolin instructed: "The money and property will be handed over to the headquarters for the construction of the Baoshan Weidong Fort, the Navy Jiangwan Wharf, the residential area for military dependents, and the academy, and no one can fight the idea of this money." ”

"Wait for the various departments to escort people over, and then search all the villages, not a single person is allowed to be missed, everyone on this island must be sent to Yingzhou Hsinchu to open up the wasteland, you leave two battalions to garrison, and then I will move over the thousands of displaced people who are stranded in Longtan New Area and do not want to leave."

"In the future, this place will be used as a farm for us to house the wounded and disabled brothers in the army. If you cultivate it well, you can add at least tens of thousands of acres of paddy fields, and the officers of Baoshanwei can each get hundreds of acres. ”

"Understood."

Shi Qingyang didn't expect that he would be able to become a landlord one day, and he grinned happily.

What happened on Chongming Sha Island came too quickly, and all the villagers and prisoners on the island were escorted to the Baoshan Wei camp to be strictly guarded, and the outside world knew nothing about it.

The officers and soldiers of the two battalions left on the island had the idea of waiting for the rabbit, and waited for the green forest and pirates who had been colluding with the Yuan family for a long time to come to the door, for which Shi Qingyang also left a hundred cavalry to assist.

Eradicating the tumor of the Yuan family's father and son with lightning speed, Baoshanwei finally became a unified whole. The lieutenant colonel who had no hidden dangers could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but no one expected it. On the night of his return to Baoshan, Zhu Daolin convened a meeting again and issued two orders that all the generals did not expect:

First, the thousands of old-fashioned waist knives and hundreds of bows and crossbows from Baoshanwei's inventory were distributed to the six resettlement sites, and the young people in the resettlement sites were organized to form village protection teams. Each settlement sent a team of 100 people to garrison and train the young people in the village;

Second, with the officers and men of the garrison battalion of the 1st Marine Division as the mainstay, with the assistance of the East China Sea Fleet, 500 brothers with better skills were transferred from each battalion and changed into civilian clothes overnight. Armed with a crossbow, fire oil and explosives bags, they set off in three ways, and launched an operation at four o'clock in the morning to retaliate against the out-of-town manors of the Jia family in Taicang, the Lu family in Jiading, and the Zhou family in Shanghai, who killed and injured more than 100 immigrants.

At four o'clock in the morning, more than 1,000 elite soldiers disguised themselves as green forest thugs and launched a surprise attack on the three powerful families, and more than 200 nurses in the three manors located in the south of Taicang City, the east of Jiading City, and the south of Shanghai City were slaughtered, all the yards, granaries, warehouses, cattle sheds, pigsties, and boats of the three manors were burned down, and two water-powered mills and a wharf were blown into ruins, causing a huge panic among the people of the three counties and the surrounding counties.

Before dawn, two warships and five transport ships of the East China Sea Fleet quietly set sail to transport more than 4,000 villagers and prisoners of Chongming Shadao to Yingzhou Island.

The remaining warships of the Baoshan Guard Division immediately blocked the mouth of the Huangpu River, searched and detained all the ships, and sent thousands of officers and soldiers to the six resettlement sites to "protect the people and maintain order."

Such a shocking case frightened the officials and gentry of Taicang Prefecture, Jiading County and Shanghai County, knowing that this was a bloody revenge from Baoshanwei, but there was no evidence.

Officials from three prefectures and counties urgently reported to the Sixth Department of Nanjing and the Yingtianfu Yamen, and rumors such as the recurrence of the Japanese and pirates ashore and plundering spread everywhere, causing panic among the people in all parts of the Yangtze River.

Zheng Sanjun, Feng Yuanbiao and others were stunned when they received the emergency report.

No one expected that Zhu Daolin would be so bold and dare to make such a-for-tat bloody revenge, and in anger, he was immediately led by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Crime, and on the one hand, he urgently reported to the imperial court, and on the other hand, he dispatched more than 30 senior head catchers and criminal experts to Taicang and other places for on-the-spot investigation.

Wu Jingxian, the eunuch guarding the town, Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, and Zhang Gongwei, the Marquis of Longping, who had just returned to Nanjing, were also shocked, and they all gathered in Zhanyuan to discuss urgently, and soon sent Zhang Deyi, who had just returned to Nanjing with his father, and Fu Yinglong, a thousand households in Dongchang, and others to rush to Baoshanwei by warship.

Two days later, another shocking news spread all over the country: the father and son of the Yuan family, who were stationed on Chongming Sha Island in Baoshan, colluded with pirates to attack 100 households on Chongming Middle Island, killing dozens of officers and soldiers who were just and upright to inspect smuggling, and after the defeat, the family absconded overseas.

Bao Shanwei commanded Shi Qingyang, the commander of the servant Chai Cheng'an, received a report and led his troops to Chongming Shadao, and the second brother of the Yuan family and hundreds of his henchmen who had not had time to escape started a bloody battle, the second child of the Yuan family was shot and killed indiscriminately, and the villains under his command fled in all directions in a boat, and many evidence of collusion between the two pirates wanted by the Yuan family and the imperial court for many years have been found, as well as the detailed account books of the Yuan family father and son who have smuggled sea salt and colluded with officials at all levels for many years.

Feng Yuanbiao, the secretary of the military department, who knew that something was wrong, hurried to Baoshanwei and ordered Shi Qingyang and Chai Cheng'an to immediately hand over the evidence they had found, stop blocking the mouth of the Huangpu River, and release the merchant ships and personnel that had been detained for several days.

Shi Qingyang and Chai Cheng'an behaved very respectfully, and immediately followed the order to withdraw all the patrol warships, and released all the more than ten merchant ships and personnel that were detained, but refused to hand over the goods such as silk and tea used for smuggling on the ship.

The angry Feng Yuanbiao had no choice but to hurry back to Nanjing and discuss with Zheng Sanjun and others how to solve the dilemma.
