"General Qi understands it."

Wang Tong naturally understood the words that Qi Wu reposted, but it was not because he wanted to get to this situation step by step, which made people helpless.

"Military Qi also said that many of the personal soldiers and generals he had defeated were used to the north. They were old and it was inconvenient to live in Guangdong. They missed the north. They heard that Guihua City recruited these veterans and soldiers as caravan guards, and they also wanted to ask for personal favors from the Marquis and wanted to place those people over."

"What kind of favor is this? Come and say this to me. There are already many veterans on the road, just stuff them into Sanjiang Trading Company."

Wang Tong said, Qi Wu smiled and agreed. The place where Wang Tong lived was very far from the Linjunshi Canal Pier and a distance from the city. It is a quiet place with beautiful scenery. It is late autumn at the end of September and the climate is quite pleasant. Wang Tong is very suitable for recuperating his health here. After he said this to Qi Wu, he said, "Go to the document and ask how the memorial is written, and show it to me."

As soon as he said this, the footsteps outside were heard, Han Gang hurried into the house and bowed and reported: "Marty, there is news from Jiangnan that something big happened in Songjiang Mansion..."

The Xu family in Songjiang is behind the commander of Liao Lang, the dragon king of Taihu Lake. Not many people know about this. In the eyes of most people, the Xu family, who represents local gentry, and Liao Lang, the leader of the bandit, are incompatible.

After the imperial envoy left, the Taihu Dragon King who had disappeared for a while suddenly showed up and contacted the desperate people everywhere, saying that he wanted to avenge Monk Puyuan. Although everyone was surprised, they felt that it was impossible.

If you say that Monk Puyuan and Liao Lang have a friendship, few people believe it. However, the Xu Mansion in Songjiang is a wealthy man in the world. If he really wants to destroy his family, he will definitely have endless benefits.

There are a thousand Taihu thieves controlled by Liao Lang. It is rumored that they are all military law training and are very elite. It should not be a big problem for these thousands of elite soldiers to break a wealthy family.

It is difficult to make a big profit in such a big event, but following the troubled waters will definitely benefit from it. Moreover, Liao Lang left the money first, which made such a demeanor even more convincing. If he had not made a big profit, how could he be so willing to spend it?

On that day, there were many people planted by the Xu family in Liao Lang's team, but after that battle, a group of casualties were killed and injured, and the group that fled back was also sent away by the Xu family, for fear of revealing their flaws.

Without these people, the news of what Liao Lang had done was well hidden. Moreover, Liao Lang had been scrambling for many years. The outlaws he sent to invite were lawless, but they didn't know much about the news here.

There are many people who will doubt this big case, but Liao Langbai gave it a lot of money and cheated on the character and did not hold the cash. Everyone believed it.

There are waterways everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and lakes are scattered. The robbers hide in the water and use the waterway to move, and no one will be discovered at all.

What made the outlaws recruited by Liao Lang more confident about this matter is that it is said that there are many people on the sea who want to participate. The Jiangnan area and the land and Shanghai are in close contact, and there are often heard of the news from the sea. When hearing that those pirates also want to do this, they admire Liao Lang for his vast friendship, but they feel more confident.

Pirates are no different from these illegal people on the mainland. Pirates do not obey the king's laws and roam the sea and become king on the sea. Compared with pirates, Liao Lang is much worse than the bandits on the lake and river like the lake.

Compared with Liao Lang's recruitment, Sha Dongning's convening staff is much more rigorous, but it is much more efficient.

When Wang Tong left Tianjin Wei, two gunboats, Feilu and Zhenhai, also left the Tianjin Wei Port and headed south. At that time, Wang Tong was sent out of the Beijing Office, so he had to make some necessary preparations.

Among the various forces under Wang Tong, the Huwei Army was the imperial guard system, the Jinyiwei Division was the inner guard system, the Ming army and inner guard. Their supreme commander was the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and even the Tianjin Division was also a financial and taxation agency sent by the Ming Dynasty. Such institutions were allowed to do things under the Ming Dynasty's laws or do some gray actions on the edge of the laws, but after all, there was a limit, and crossing the line violated the principle.

But the fleets on the sea are different. The armed merchant ships starting from the Feilu are all private property under Wang Tong's name. Wang Tong paid their salary and Wang Tong paid them dividends.

Moreover, the personnel of the fleet at sea were mostly composed of pirates who were tempted by Wang Tong. These people were illegal people back then, and they were reluctant to say that they were now living on the ship and obedient.

Wang Tong's order was an imperial edict, and naturally the order was called. Moreover, since Sha Dacheng brought people to Liaozhen and Tianjin Wei, many of Sha Dacheng's sailors had joined Wang Tong's fleet.

This time the ship moved south, and the crew sailors on the two armed merchant ships specially arranged a lot of Sha Dacheng's men to facilitate the convenience of getting close.

Sha Dacheng's fleet was originally active in Zhejiang and Fujian, and Songjiang often traveled around. The Sha family had a high status on the sea, and all the forces that were active on the sea in this area had to give some face.

Sha Dongning first contacted the two sea boats, and then drove directly to Hangshi Prefecture and Ningbo Prefecture to recruit along the way.

Not to mention the reputation of the Sha family in the sea, let alone the temptation of the Xu family's goal, Sha Dongning left a lot of money, which is enough to make people moved.

There is something interesting. On land, people recruited by Liao Lang felt confident when they heard that there were strong men from the sea joined. However, people on sea heard that there were Liao Lang's people joined, and they also felt that there were local snakes on the waterway. They were much more confident and they all had more confidence in each other.

Monk Puyuan was killed and his disciples were caught in the prison. The Xu family ignored him at all. Instead, he sent the people he contacted away. Liao Lang was silent, and the Xu family also sent the people he contacted away.

The Xu family was safe and sound during this investigation, but it also made everyone feel a little disappointed. Everyone beat you to death. Your Xu family didn't care about it at all, but instead they just threw it away. But what really scared everyone was Wang Tong's method. How many people died along the way from Nanjing to Songjiang.

Those famous characters who were usually famous were cleaned up like cutting melons and vegetables in front of Wang Tong's personal guards, and blood flowed into a river along the way. Moreover, the people were not counted, and the local governments checked them like sieves. On weekdays, everyone made money and gave each other a face.

This time, Wang Tong ordered that no one would care about it. The five tigers of the Zhao family in Suzhou were usually rampant Su Shi. Wang Tong was sent to prison with just one word. The people in Su Shi's mansion were afraid that some things would be revealed, so they lost weight in the prison that night, so they went there to reason.

After Wang Tong was assassinated, he returned to the north quietly, and things should have stopped. Who would have thought that the Jinyiwei in Nanjing started to pull the net with the local government again. It is said that the capital sent people to supervise it. The local government was like a strong wind. Everyone had to do things honestly and dare not show off, otherwise they would not know how to die.

In such a situation, naturally no one asked the Xu family for information. The Xu family also felt that this time the disaster turned into good fortune. The Xu family didn't have to do anything at all. They just needed to wait quietly. Then Wang Tong couldn't find out any problems and could only leave in disappointment. Why bother with these inferior ones who could not get on the table and would only be bad.

Although there is a vague news on the ground in Jiangnan, no one has reached the Xu family. It is one thing that the Xu family is unwilling to make sense. You have to consider the ferocity of Liao Lang and the pirates.

...

In September, Songjiang has become a little chill sooner or later, and occasionally it starts to fog.

In the legend of farmers in the countryside, this kind of fog comes from the sea, with demons hidden in it. If a person walks outside, he will be captured and eaten.

However, when fog is coming, it is all night. Everyone rests at home and will not go out to stroll. The demon says that it is just a scare of children when chatting. If there are really demons, it is true that there are demons. In this weather, there are no one living in the shed in the fields, and no one has ever seen those people eat them.

Ten miles south of Huating in Songjiang Prefecture City, there is a shack next to the river. It is said that there is nothing to steal in the fields this season. Old Man Li slept here just to look at a scene. If there are monsters in the fog, Old Man Li doesn't believe it. He has slept like this for decades, but he is not doing well.

He drank two pots of old wine with dried fish and slept soundly in the shed. I don’t know when it was night. Old Man Li was awakened by the movements at night. He poked his head out of the shed, but saw that there seemed to be light on one side. Looking carefully, two red lights were approaching this side.

At this time, there was already mist, and I couldn't see clearly at night. I only saw the two red lights floating around. If it were lanterns, they would not be so far away and moving forward in unison. Could it be that a big snake thought of this, Old Man Li oozed out of cold sweat and fell to the ground with a trembling look, and he didn't dare to let out a breath.

He was planning to see the "big snake" coming over, but Old Man Li, who didn't dare to look up, seemed to hear the sound of horse hooves and the sound of paddling in the river. This was even more strange. What was the one riding a horse and scraping a boat at this night...

The sound of horse hooves went away, and the sound of the oars on the river was wiping away for a long time. Old Man Li was trembling on the ground and did not dare to move. At this time, his mind was a little clear-headed, but he remembered that when he heard someone said that if there was fog on the boat at night, someone on the shore would have to guide him with lanterns. Could it be that the two red lights were the lanterns guided by both sides of the river? Just as he thought of this, he heard a muffled sound coming from the direction of the city, as if it was thunder. It shouldn't be raining?

"If the shells are to be found, all the places where the shells fly by must be removed and burned."
