There are only 5,000 marines on Kinmen Island, and it is unrealistic to be responsible for arresting Hao Qiang, a landlord who has colluded with pirates along the entire Fujian coast. Therefore, except for the 20 third-class warships of the Mawei Navy docked on the Great Kinmen Island, all the other warships set sail to send the marines to the coastal provinces to land; At the same time, another ship was sent to deliver the news to Mawei, so that the troops on this side could follow.

Due to the urgency of time, Geng Jingzhong decided to take Quanzhou as the boundary; To the north of Quanzhou, the Marine Army stationed in Mawei was in charge, while to the south of Quanzhou, it was in charge of the 5,000 soldiers who set out with the fleet. It took only five days for this action to follow, and the troops were scattered to various coastal provinces and counties

The southern part of Quanzhou, ** county, is also called Quan'an. The cause of the landform here is the compound trench barrier structure, and the landform types are mainly plateaus, plains and hills, of which the plain landform accounts for as much as 30%, which is a rare large-scale cultivated grain production area in Fujian. Nearly half of the land here belongs to officials at all levels, and the remaining half is almost all from the Ge family, the largest family in Quan'an.

The Ge family used to make a living at sea, but the old lady of the Ge family was very shrewd and knew that that line of work would not last, and sooner or later the ship would capsize. However, at that time, the sea trade was prevalent, and the looting was very profitable, so he left his younger brother to continue to do this business at sea. He himself returned to his ancestral land of Quan'an County with a large amount of looted money and purchased a large amount of land. Fujian is a place with many mountains and few fields, if a person has a field, it is like protecting his life, and he will never sell it if he can't get by.

In the decades since the old lady of the Ge family returned to Quan'an, Quan'an was often harassed by pirates, and even the Ge family's own mansion was also attacked, but it was all for others to see. The Ge family secretly smuggled goods for the pirates, drew maps for the pirates, informed the garrison of the green battalion soldiers in advance, led the pirates to rob, and then gave usurious grain to the looted farmers, and then took the opportunity to seize their fields. After the death of the old lady of the Ge family, the leader of the sea was changed, but he still had a close relationship with his son Ge Erbin.

A day ago, 500 Marine soldiers arrived in Quan'an County, led by He Kui, the former commander of the Kuizi Battalion, who should now be called the first battalion of the Marine Army, Qianhu Guan, and he led all the soldiers to be stationed in the Yuanjue Temple in the southeast corner of the city. When the team entered the city, the marines in new-style military uniforms aroused the curiosity of the people in the county, they had never seen soldiers in such costumes, but the uniform movements of the marines gave them a great shock. More than a year ago, when the Tiger Army was suppressing bandits near Quanzhou, they did not see the soldiers of the Tiger Army, because at that time, the soldiers were busy suppressing bandits, and they were all stationed outside the city, and they did not enter the city at all.

In the early hours of the morning, it was still a little dark, and five hundred soldiers surrounded the Ge family's mansion. The Ge family was born as a pirate, and many of the guards in the house are also outlaws, and there are a lot of hidden birds in the mansion alone. Therefore, He Kui, who led the team, did not want his soldiers to suffer casualties, so he took action in the early morning.

At this time, the sky was just dawning, and the nursing home that had been guarding all night was sleepy, and the nursing home on shift had not yet gotten up. As for the several nursing homes outside Gefu, they had already been subdued, and although they were powerful, they were taken down in an instant in the face of the energetic Marine soldiers. Some of the servants got up early and began to prepare breakfast for the whole house. Several people who came out of Gefu were immediately arrested on the spot, and both men and women were all tied up, and their mouths were stuffed with cloth balls, and they were speechless. These people from Gefu who were arrested were trembling, and their faces were bloodless.

He Kui looked at the gate of Ge Mansion with a sneer on his face. "Attack!"

The soldiers guarding the door immediately broke down the door and quickly took down more than a dozen courtyards without making much noise at all. And until this time, Gefu was still sleeping soundly. He Kui also followed into Ge's Mansion, things went smoothly, beyond his imagination, he thought that he would encounter some resistance, who knew that those soldiers in the courtyard didn't dare to move when they saw him, so they were arrested.

At this time, the owner of Gefu was also pulled out of the bed by the soldiers, and he was still in the courtyard, and slowly more and more people gathered in the courtyard. The mansion suddenly jumped with chickens and dogs, and the cries came out, the cries of women, the cries of children, the shouts of soldiers, and bursts of screams, which kept coming out, and countless torches illuminated the huge mansion. As for the scum of Gefu, the soldiers were not polite, except for the female dependents, all the people surnamed Ge were tied up and trapped. When the children of Ge Fu were escorted out, they were still shouting and asking why they were arrested, He Kui was really too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and when he went up, he was punched and kicked.

After some tossing, the sky has already brightened. In the end, from the backyard, the eldest man of Gefu Ge Erbin was also "invited" to the front yard. At this time, He Kui had just finished inflicting punches and kicks on an arrogant Gefu disciple. Turned around: "Master Ge, let's meet again!" ”

The head of the Ge family narrowed his eyes and saw the person on the other side clearly, isn't this He Qianhu who was washing the dust with the county magistrate yesterday? "Lord He, I don't know what Xiaomin has done, there is Lord Lao who is so aggressive! Isn't it disregard for the laws of the Qing Dynasty to break into the mansion and bind my family so much, the grass people are serious squires, if they don't give a reason, the little people will go to the capital to sue the royal court, I'm afraid that the prince of Jingnan won't be able to protect you! Looking at He Kui with a sneer on the other side, Ge Erbin calmed down, mustered up his courage, and said with his fists clenched.

He Kui smiled coldly again. "Come on, the Ge family colluded with pirates and harmed the people, and they also tied me up, and the rest of the family gathered and waited to be dealt with." The soldiers next to him immediately stepped forward, and Geerbin was also tied up, tied like a rice dumpling, and then taken away directly.

The next most important thing is that the house search begins. The soldiers of the Marine Corps were very comfortable with the matter of raiding their homes, and when they suppressed bandits in the past, no matter how tightly they hid money and food in the cottage, they could turn it over. The army has military discipline, and when raiding a house, no one will hide money without permission, because if they are discovered, they will be immediately fired, and they will have to be dealt with by military law, and in serious cases, they may be beheaded directly.

The surrounding residents had already woken up, and they came over to see the excitement, but the soldiers had no choice but to draw a warning area, and no one was allowed to approach. The news spread quickly, and the people were also very puzzled, why did they want to raid the Ge Mansion, usually the Ge family is not bad. After the county was robbed, the Ge family also distributed grain and rice and purchased land at a high price, for which many people survived and were quite grateful to the Ge family. It's just that they don't know what the real foundation of the Ge family is!

Ge Erbin and the others have been taken care of in the front yard, He Kui took the soldiers, began to busy cleaning and registering, the gold and silver found from the house were constantly concentrated, piled up in the yard, and then some soldiers put the gold and silver that had been registered into the box, stacked neatly, and waited until the matter was finished, and then transported these gold and silver treasures to the silver vault in Mawei.

Less than half an hour after the incident here, the entire Quan'an County was a sensation. The Ge family has been a strong family for decades, and half of the land in Quan'an County is his family's, how magnificent, not to mention the Quan'an County Yamen, it is the Quanzhou Mansion Yamen, and the Ge family masters are all in and out casually, but at this time, they were actually served by the soldiers who just came yesterday.

For a time, the county was full of rumors. There are many people who have received the favor of the Ge family, and they have even voiced their grievances. However, He Kui also had a countermeasure, and he announced all the ironclad evidence he had collected in advance, and suddenly, Ge Fu became a street rat that everyone shouted and beaten. Many people howled and cried, picked up the stones in the corner of the wall and threw them into the courtyard of Gefu, and almost hit the soldiers guarding them. It wasn't until He Kui stood up and promised that he would redress the grievances of the people one by one, that the people quieted down a little, but many people were still cursing the Ge family.

It took half a day for the soldiers to count all their belongings. "My lord, there are 50,000 taels of gold and 1,500,000 taels of silver copied from the Gelbin Mansion, and the rest of the jewels do not have time to be estimated in detail, but it is estimated that the value of these jewels is more than one million taels of silver. As for the grain and salt in the mansion, it is estimated that it will be all counted in the afternoon. ”

He Kui also gasped, according to such an algorithm, the total value of the property that came out of the family has exceeded three million taels of silver, which he never thought of, they all said that these families were rich, but they didn't expect to be so rich!
