Chapter 324: The San'in Gang
In late September, the transportation began as scheduled.
A lot of panicked people have finally settled down, although the governor of Caoyun has changed, but it doesn't seem to have changed much, it's nothing more than the adjustment of the officials and wardens of the sixth room of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion, this is nothing unusual, once a son of heaven and a courtier, after all, the governor wants to use people he trusts, at least it is much more convenient to collect money.
Huai'an Caoyun Wharf is unusually lively, and countless people shuttle every day.
The San'in Gang also began to act at this time.
As the most powerful Sanyin Gang in the Cao Gang, its influence is not to be underestimated, to put it mildly, the influence and appeal of the Sanyin Gang on the Caoyun Wharf is even stronger than the Governor of Caoyun, after all, it is impossible for the people on the wharf to see the Governor, but as long as they come to the Caoyun Wharf, they must accept the jurisdiction of the Sanyin Gang.
The leader of the Sanyin Gang is very mysterious, and there are not many people who know his true identity, but the reputation of the four deputy gang leaders of the Sanyin Gang is very large, according to their ranking order, they are the poisonous dragon Lihu Leopard and Viper, the poisonous dragon is the first deputy gang leader, responsible for the daily affairs of the gang, including the silver treasury and dividends, liaison with the government and other matters, Li Hu is the second deputy gang leader, responsible for the accumulation of rest matters, direct control of the boat, the leopard is the third deputy gang leader, responsible for the daily management of the Caoyun Wharf, mainly responsible for the affairs of the gambling house, Viper is the fourth deputy gang leader, Responsible for restaurants, green buildings and so on.
Anyone who eats at the Caoyun Pier, no matter what your status, must obey the management of the Sanyin Gang, otherwise you will not be able to gain a foothold here, it is said that the relationship between the Sanyin Gang and the Caoyun Governor's Mansion is extraordinary, and everything done is approved by the Governor. There was once an incident where Viper, the fourth deputy gang leader of the Sanyin Gang, had a conflict with a certain Qianhu Lord in the Weicao Barracks, because of a Qinglou woman, and as a result, this Qianhu Lord was dismissed from his position. After being beaten badly, and even kneeling in front of the viper to say mercy, he left Huai'an in disgrace.
It can be seen that the power of the San'in Gang is by no means ordinary.
When the luck began, the Sanyin Gang had already been busy.
There are hundreds of people up and down in the gang, and they have already started to act, and some have found the governor's mansion to contact. Some began to gather a lot of helpers and give orders on many matters, while others patrolled the Caoyun dock to prevent anyone from making trouble.
Zheng Jiajun was already ready for a while.
Top 10 gangs, all over the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. If you want to exterminate at the same time, it is almost impossible not to make adequate preparations, but fortunately, the courage of the Zheng Jiajun can fight face-to-face with the Houjin Tartars, and the souls of the rogues who can fight are terrified, and it is not a particularly big battle to deal with the Cao Gang.
As early as the early investigation, the scouts found out the specific location of the top ten Cao Gangs.
followed Zheng Xunrui to Huai'an. There were 35,000 soldiers of the Zheng family's army, except for 2,000 who remained in the barracks and the governor's palace, the remaining 32,000 soldiers. All of them were dispatched, rushed to various places, acted in unison, and launched a blow against the Cao Gang.
From Hangzhou in the south to Xia Town in the north, the Grand Canal is more than 3,000 miles away. It has raised too many problems for Zheng Jinhong and others.
Relying on the canal, of course, you have to take the waterway. This time, the new governor of Caoyun took office, and as usual, he was going to inspect the Grand Canal. Zheng Jiajun took advantage of this opportunity to use merchant ships to transport Zheng Jiajun's soldiers everywhere, which was not a particularly difficult thing.
Among the top ten Cao gangs, the Shanyin Gang Hangzhou Gang and the Xia Zhen Gang are the most powerful, Zheng Jiajun arranged 5,000 soldiers to be responsible for exterminating the Shanyin Gang, and arranged 4,000 soldiers to be responsible for exterminating the Hangzhou Gang and the Xia Zhen Gang, and in the rest of the places, the number of troops arranged ranged from 2,000 to 3,000.
In fact, the number of people in each Cao Gang is not very large, and the people who really do things for the Cao Gang are generally in the hundreds, and the Shanyin Gang, which has the largest number of people, is not more than a thousand.
There is another purpose, Zheng Xunrui did not say it, but Zheng Jinhong knew it, that is, the Cao Gang has gathered a lot of wealth, and each Cao Gang has a special silver vault, it is said that the silver in the silver treasury of the Shanyin Gang is as much as 10 million taels, if all these silver are confiscated, then many things can be started.
On September 27, the first batch of boats was shipped.
After worshipping the god of water, the boat set off.
As a sharp Ding, A Bingye, of course, set off with the boat, he was a little uneasy, but he didn't dare to say anything, when he left the dock, he looked at the dock for a long time, he believed that in a short period of time, something big would happen, but what happened, he didn't know.
At that time, the lively wharf was suddenly surrounded by a large number of officers and soldiers.
The headquarters of the San'in Gang on the south side of the dock was already in a panic at this time.
The minions just came back to report the news, the deputy gang leader Li Hu Leopard and Viper on the dock were all detained by the official army, this is a big joke, who ate the leopard's gall and dared to detain the deputy gang leader of the Shanyin Gang, isn't that looking for death.
The deputy gang leader Poison Dragon was furious, and immediately issued an order, gather all the brothers, prepare the guys, follow him to the dock, snatch the three deputy gang leaders back, and fight with them no matter what the identity of the other party is.
In just a quarter of an hour, most of the brothers in the gang had gathered at the headquarters.
It was at this time that a large number of officers and troops suddenly surrounded the headquarters of the San'in Gang.
The poisonous dragon finally found out that the situation was wrong, and it was not the Wei Cao soldiers who surrounded the headquarters of the Shanyin Gang at all, but the Zheng family army that has been rumored these days, what does this mean, it shows that this operation was personally arranged by the Governor.
Rabbit dead dog cooking, this is the idea of the poisonous dragon, he will all the targets of suspicion, all aimed at the former Caoyun Governor Yang Yipeng, people to the capital to be the cabinet of adults, you have to find a way to eliminate the troubles, can not leave the handle of impeachment.
The San'in Gang is still related, and it's not an ordinary relationship.
The gang leader is not at the headquarters, and the poison dragon has already sent minions to report to the gang leader, and the overall situation must be supported before the gang leader makes a decision, otherwise there will be real trouble.
The poisonous dragon personally came forward to negotiate with Zheng Jiajun, and at this time, he had to do so.
The commander of the extermination of the Shanyin Gang was Zheng Jinhong, the chief soldier of the Zheng family's army.
Where would Zheng Jinhong take the Shanyin Gang in his eyes, let alone the so-called leader and deputy leader of the Sanyin Gang.
The deputy gang leader who came to negotiate, Poison Long, didn't see Zheng Jinhong at all, and was directly taken down by the soldiers, tied up, and imprisoned with the other three deputy gang leaders.
The dragons are leaderless, the rest of the Shanyin Gang, they soon surrendered, they did not dare to resist, in the face of the murderous Zheng family army soldiers, they are interesting, although the outside world is not very clear about the strength of the Zheng family army, but they know it, this is because of the warning of the gang leader, the Zheng family army has defeated the army of the Houjin Tartars, and the combat effectiveness is extraordinary, and they must not be provoked.
Zheng Jinhong originally thought that there would be a fight, but he didn't expect that there would be no fight at all, so he took the lair of the Shanyin Gang.
The next step must be to capture the leader of the San'in Gang.
Just when the poisonous dragon sent someone to report the news, Zheng Jinhong had already arranged for Wang Xiaoer to follow with dozens of scouts.
To everyone's surprise, the leader of the Sanyin Gang was captured at the Donglin Academy in Huai'an.
With this gang leader, there were several businessmen, as well as some scholars from Donglin Academy, these people were also captured, and the soldiers of the Zheng family army were not so polite.
The action was a complete victory.
Zheng Jiajun has always insisted on secrecy measures, this time has achieved remarkable results, the Cao Gang did not know that there was such an action, they are still happy for the harvest of this Cao Yun, thinking about how to distribute the silver, of course, including the part of the Cao Yun Governor, and a large part, after all, to have a good relationship.
The local government also did not know, and those who were captured together were also the magistrate of Shanyin County, the county magistrate and the chief Bo and others, including the prefect of Huai'an Prefecture, the same magistrate and judge, all of whom were captured.
The minions of the Sanyin Gang were quickly escorted to the Weicao Barracks.
Zheng Jinhong's first task was to interrogate the leader and deputy gang leader of the Shanyin Gang, Poison Dragon, to figure out the location of the silver vault, the poisonous dragon naturally refused to say, Zheng Jinhong, who was furious, unceremoniously killed the poisonous dragon, and killed the poisonous dragon in front of the leader of the Sanyin Gang, which made the gang leader's face change, and quickly said the location of the silver vault.
When the soldiers who led the Zheng family army surrounded the silver treasury and began to send the gold and silver property inside to the Zheng family army's military operation, Zheng Jinhong arranged for the soldiers to escort the prefect of Huai'an Prefecture and the magistrate of Shanyin County, such as Bo, the county magistrate of Shanyin County, and the leader of the Shanyin gang to the governor's yamen.
As for the officials of the government and county government, they were directly imprisoned in the Weicao military camp.
Such a big move was beyond everyone's expectations.
The city of Huai'an was shaken, and the next shaking was more, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Huaiyin, Xuzhou, Suqian, Gaoyou and Xiazhen and other places, there were shaking one after another, and the Cao Gang was completely wiped out, including some officials of the local government, were also captured.
In just a few days, the name of Zheng Xunrui, the governor of Caoyun, quickly spread.
Such a big move, ordinary people don't dare to do it at all, but this Governor Caoyun did it, and it was as fast as lightning, so that people had no room to resist at all, not only the Cao Gang, but also the officials of the local government, who were also arrested a lot, could it be said that this Governor didn't worry about any sequelae.
Rumors quickly appeared, and many people said that the Governor of Caoyun was specially ordered to clean up the Caoyun affairs, and he didn't do it at the beginning, because he wanted to understand the situation and find out all the circumstances.
For a time, all kinds of emotions spread among the people, some people were happy, some people were afraid, some people were worried, and some people secretly started activities, predicting how the situation would develop in the future. (To be continued)
