The next day, in front of the main altar of the Sanyi Gang in Xinping Town, Hong Zhong announced several charges against Chen Xitian, disguising him as Bai Yujing for many years, arranging for Yang Huaixiang to go undercover in the Sanyi Gang, poisoning Wang Ping'an, and blaming the Changkong Gang.

Chen Xitian was hanged on the spot!

Although he did not reveal where the main force of his guards was until his death, in the battle of Yuyuan Beach, some of the henchmen of Chen Xitian captured by Yan Long and the others confessed all the secrets of the Haiyuan Gang in order to survive. It also includes detailed information on the Haiyuan Gang's two strongholds in Shijiutuo and Xiangyun Island.

In addition to cooperating with the Sanyi Gang to encircle and suppress the pirates who were hiding everywhere, Yan Long also took the opportunity to decisively send all his warships and sailors, with Yang Youji as the main general and Yuan Dakui and Huang Shun as the deputy generals, to expedition to these two island strongholds.

After Chen Xitian's death, the Haiyuan gang was scattered, and Yan Long felt that this last battle could completely change the balance of power that had existed for many years.

In the past four months, the Shitan Town Helm led by Yan Long gained huge benefits in the campaign to exterminate Chen Xitian's Haiyuan Gang.

Not to mention anything else, in the battle of Yuyuan Beach alone, the value of the property on the sea ship was equivalent to as much as 860,000 taels of silver.

Yan Long originally proposed to divide this batch of property equally with Hongzhong's Sanyi Gang, but Hongzhong refused, his reason was very simple: As a thank you, my share will also be given to you, please don't refuse!

A month later, the time came on the ninth day of the ninth month of the third year of the Apocalypse.

At this time, several major events happened in Daming.

One of the most important is that Yuan Chonghuan, who was the post of Ning Qiandao at the time, began to build a city in Ningyuan. Three years later, this military fortress, which seemed to be an isolated city, became the battlefield of the first major defeat in the life of Nurhachi, the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty.

Yan Long is very familiar with these histories, but he has huge doubts about whether his arrival will affect the trajectory of history.

He once asked the system if his arrival would change history.

The system's answer is: yes, because time and space have changed. The gale began at the end of Qingping, and the butterfly effect caused by it will inevitably affect the course of history.

Yan Long listened and smiled slightly.

This is exactly what he wants, didn't he come to this time and space to change his fate and change order?

Yoyuki's expeditionary force is back!

The spoils brought back by this last battle definitely exceeded the rudder of Shitan Town, and it could even be said that it was the financial income of the entire Yongping Mansion Shanhaitang for a year. This is still secondary, and the most important thing is that this pursuit battle will include Chen Xitian's sea route and blueprint into the sphere of influence of the rudder of Shitan Town.

Yan Long struck while the iron was hot, he gave favorable conditions, and successively sent people willing to go to Shijiutuo and Xiangyun Island to station, and vigorously developed business routes with various places on the island.

After this battle, the rudder of Shitan Town was greatly violated, and the scene on the Haifeng Wharf was unprecedented.

Under Yan Long's rule, there were more than 10,000 people.

Among them, the combatants of the Sea Dragon Banner, the Black Flag Arrow Team, the Shenhuo Battalion, the Flying Fish Banner, the Flying Eagle Banner, and the Tiger Ben Battalion accounted for three-fifths, that is, more than 6,000 people.

Among them, the Sea Dragon Flag and the Black Flag Arrow Team have the most people.

Lu Gang, the deputy flag master of the Sea Dragon Banner, was promoted to the flag master of the Shenhuo Battalion.

And that's not all.

Because the expeditionary fleet brought back something to Yan Long that he had always dreamed of.

-- A philosopher's stone weighing more than 20 kilograms.

Yan Long has always wanted to imitate the refining method of transparent needles and use the Philosopher's Stone to create a worthy weapon.

Now the material has been found, but how to create it is another question!

However, the transparent needle is now used handy, and Yan Long is not in a hurry. He received the Philosopher's Stone into his system backpack and waited for the opportunity to craft weapons.

The helmsmen of Shitan Town are strong and strong, and their power is getting bigger and bigger. After Cui Quanbin, the leader of the Xinqiao Gang in Luanhe Town, died of illness, his successor led the entire gang to join Yan Long's banner.

Luanhe Town is also offshore, but unfortunately the coastline is not conducive to the berthing of large cargo ships, so it has been unable to open a closed route, although there are many sailors in the Gang, but it has not been able to develop.

This time the surrender not only allowed Yan Long to get more land, but also expanded the manpower of Flying Fish Streamer by more than four times at once, and the addition of a large number of skilled sailors allowed Yan Long's idea of focusing on the two offshore islands to get manpower support.

At this point, several places near Shitan Town are basically Yan Long's territory, or "friendly gangs".

On this day, Yan Long was discussing things with Dian Wei, Yang Youji, Yuan Dakui, Lu Gang and others in the Xiangtang.

Wang Shuang hurriedly walked up from the outside, his face was full of clouds, and he looked very sad.

When Yan Long saw this, he asked, "Deputy Helmsman Wang, what's the matter?"

Wang Shuangdao: "Helmsman, the horse gang in Leting County is using various means to target and suppress all the shippers on our dock!"

"Oh!" Yan Long raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you say this?"

Wang Shuangdao: "The horse gang controls nearly half of the mule, horse and wagons in the horse market, and the passages leading to the main post road in several nearby towns are all built by them. Therefore, the goods of the shippers have always been transferred to various places by the horse teams of their horse gangs, and if the ship merchants themselves have horse teams, they can pass by paying a certain toll. These fees have always been low. Shipbuilders can afford it. ”

Yan Long listened, nodded and said, "Well, what about now?"

Wang Shuang shook his head and sighed: "Alas, everything has changed! Not only is the cost of mules and horses fifteen times more expensive, but the toll has risen by an astonishing twenty-six times. ”

When the others present heard this, they all showed indignation.

Yan Long's expression remained unchanged and he continued to ask, "What effect does it have on us?"

"The impact is great!" Wang Shuang said: "Although the gross profit of the shipbuilders is good, the various expenses along the road are actually not light. This has not yet reached the official road, and a large amount of money has been scraped away in the county, and no one will be willing to change it. Therefore, some ship merchants would rather take a long detour to the wharf of the Red Gun Society in Changli County, a neighboring county, to unload their cargo. As a result, the business of our wharf has plummeted, and in the past ten days alone, the number of ship merchants has decreased by at least two-thirds. ”

Yan Long continued to ask, "Isn't the relationship between the Ma Gang and us usually quite good?

Wang Shuangdao: "I asked the Flying Eagle Banner Sikong Xing to send someone to check, and the spies reported that it was the horse gang that had changed the leader!"

"Change the gang leader?!" Yan Long frowned and said, "What about the original gang leader?"

He died violently last month, and now the gang is being taken over by his sworn brother Shi Wenchong. Wang Shuangdao.

Yan Long listened to it and said with a smile: "It seems that this Shi Gang Master has a lot of grievances against our Changkong Gang, and he doesn't even say hello to the price increase!"

At this time, Yang Youji said to Yan Long: "Helmsman, although there are many people in the horse gang, most of them are some porters who walk on their feet or drivers who drive mules and carriages to escort goods, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. If we're going to fight, there's a 100 percent chance of winning. ”

Yan Long smiled: "This is the last resort. Before fighting, sit down and talk, after all, they have raised prices on their own territory, and in principle, they are not out of bounds. ”

Wang Shuang nodded in agreement: "The helmsman is reasonable. I'm familiar with the county, so I'll talk to them. ”

Yan Long shook his head and said, "No, I'll go in person this time." Dian Wei will go with me, and you will all stay at home and do your duty!"

"Yes!" the crowd commanded.

In addition to going to negotiate, in fact, Yan Long has another plan in his heart: "After more than two months, according to the agreement, Jinyiwei should have information sent back to Chunlai Tea House, take advantage of this time to go to the county seat, just go and see!"

"Jin Yiwei, I'm going to hold it in my hands sooner or later!" Yan Long pondered his next step in his heart.
