Marha did not ask about this secret, but he knew that the governor of Hexian Town also implemented a camel hunting system, and this person was most likely one of them.

Tuo Guang also said: "Although the salt merchants are rich, they have to bow their heads under the history of the Lianghuai Salt Transportation. Many years ago, a major case happened here, which was caused by corruption in the history of the Lianghuai Salt Transportation. Later, when their house was confiscated, the silver ingots were raised for six million taels!"

"Because the long term of the history of the Lianghuai salt transportation has actually become the first fertilizer today"

"The current history of the Lianghuai salt transportation is called Swai Rieng, which is relatively honest. However, it is said that he has many deficits during his tenure in Zhejiang. Although he has a reputation for being honest, in order to make up for the deficit, no matter how greedy the cat is, he will steal fish."

Marha was so nervous, "Who is our people under Swift?"

"That's natural. He is relatively noble on the surface and lets his master take care of everything. At first, his Shaoxing master was unfavorable and he was almost impeached by the Yan Yan Censor. Our people pretended to be the master and resolved the matter for him. Later, this person became his chief master"

"Sai Ring took office last year, but under the operation of his master, he has earned hundreds of thousands of silver taels. This time, Sai Ring did not be arrogant, but turned a blind eye"

"Of course, although the history of Lianghuai Salt Transportation is a new leader, his soldiers are permanent. He has a general named Zhang Wenyong, who is a descendant of Zhang Tianlu, the former governor of Liangjiang. He probably committed a crime and declined in his generation. Zhang Wenyong became the general of the salt inspector and made great efforts"

"I'm also in love with the salt merchants, the escort business, the big car business, and the big car business. Even if Swai Ring wants to be safe, he will not be able to get it. In addition, he is old, so he is obviously planning to make a fortune and then resign and return to his hometown to retire."

Marha suddenly thought of something, "If Yangzhou City is taken down, wouldn't it be possible to harvest tens of millions of taels of silver?"

Tuo Guang thought for a while, "I guess it's about the same, so it's fine for officials, but doing so will inevitably offend the three major salts. They have huge forces on both sides of the Yangtze River below Yichang and the estuary of the sea. If they follow the Qing court wholeheartedly to deal with us, it will probably be counterproductive."

"What's more, most of the salt in Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces are distributed by them. Once this line is broken, it is not good to cause public resentment."

....

The fleet set out early in the morning and arrived near Yangzhou at dusk.

During this period, the Qing governments on both sides of the Taiwan Strait saw the Truqin "barbarian thieves" who had been stationed on Chongming Island for a long time and finally drove into the Yangtze River. They were naturally extremely nervous, afraid that they would come to attack their city.

As the fleet continued to sail, the passing city naturally breathed a sigh of relief until Yangzhou.

It's still about an hour before darkness. Although I learned that there were not many regular troops in these two places, it was like dreaming to take down the city within an hour.

But they had to do this. If they were wasting a night nearby, the nearby green camp soldiers would definitely realize something. The governments in Yangzhou and Zhenjiang would also desperately ask for help from them, and on the second day, tens of thousands of young and strong people in the city would definitely have organized them.

At this moment, the third fleet was divided into two, half of the ships rushed into Jiajiang directly, and the other half attacked Zhenjiang!

Let’s talk about Malha’s journey. He and Sangjice were both descendants of Orlek and were cousins ​​with Qitade, but they were not Shukuldaiqing’s branch.

Yangzhou Wharf, Crane Dance Armour.

The nineteen-year-old Zhou Yunfeng had known about the arrival of the Truqin fleet and received a telegram an hour ago.

"Let your people clear the docks and control the gates near the canal when our fleet arrives"

Zhou Yunfeng immediately went to Lianghuai Salt Transportation History Office to find his master.

The master is a man in his forties. He looks like a Guangdong native. When he learned about Zhou Yunfeng's purpose, he frowned.

"Unfortunately, after our fleet arrived at Chongming Island, Lord Chai took the seal back. I had to find a reason"

Zhou Yunfeng's face was slightly dark, but his eyebrows were very handsome, but his skeleton was thick, and he looked like a trainee. After hearing this, he said, "They sent a telegram early this morning. Didn't you do anything?"

The master sighed, "Who said no, but Lord Chai went to Gaoyou Lake early in the morning and said that he organized a poetry party there. They were all famous people from Jiangnan, saying that they wanted to eat fresh lotus roots, lobsters and crabs to raft and recite poems"

"He took Dayin with him?"

“Yes”

Zhou Yunfeng thought for a while and said, "I don't care about that much. Your prestige in the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Bureau has remained in the past few years. I quickly asked Zhang Wenyong to order to drive the ships on the dock to walk north, and said that if you slow down, you might encounter an unexpected situation."

The master nodded, "That's all."

The master got into a sedan chair and came to Zhang Wenyong's barracks on the dock. He was about to break in, but one of his servants stopped him, "Master, look at him"

He quickly got out of the sedan chair and followed the servant to the dock. He was so happy that he saw that the originally densely packed dock was completely empty!

At this moment, Zhang Wenyong rushed over after hearing the news.

"It turns out to be the master"

The master's face sternly, "I originally came to carry out Lord Chai's order to clear the dock to prevent it from falling into the hands of the barbarian thief. I didn't expect that the president had already taken action in advance"

Zhang Wenyong smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing to do with me. When he heard that the thief was coming, the owners here were so scared that they all rushed to the downstream."

The master seemed a little angry, "Without the signing of the Salt Transportation Office, they dared to go out without authorization?"

Zhang Wenyong smiled and said, "Although that's the case, the Salt Transportation Organ also has a branch office in Shaobo Town near Gaoyou Lake, so it's okay to issue an invoice there, not to mention that there are still many ships here that do not carry official salt."

The master suddenly understood, "The head of the branch office of Shaobo Town is his relative. He drove the boat there to wait for the signing of the ticket. He probably had a lot of money here. Although he didn't say anything, he drove it directly, and probably sent someone to do it secretly."

Then he said, "Well, I'll leave anyway, if it falls into the hands of the bandit, it will be bad."

Suddenly I thought of something, "President, the current situation is unknown, so don't stay in the barracks, all of you go to the Jiajiang exit to find out the situation"

Zhang Wenyong was about to refute, but after thinking about it, he would just forget it, "Does the bandits still want to pass through Jingjiajiang to enter Yangzhou? Well, the master probably also followed Lord Chai's order, let's listen to him this time"

He also had more than thirty horses in his hand. He led the team himself and picked more than thirty people along the official road on the south bank of the Jiajiang River and ran towards the river mouth.

Not long after, a rumble came.

As soon as he saw the scene on the Jiajiang River, Zhang Wenyong was shocked.

"Good, they're really here!"

He had five hundred people in the barracks of Yangzhou wharf, but he also understood that he was not enough to see the people in front of the Truqin people, so he didn't care much at the moment. He ran back like crazy and returned to the dock soon.

However, he could never go back to the barracks, and saw tens of thousands of people rushing towards the Linhe City Gate!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Wenyong couldn't help but curse.

"Get out of here!"

When he saw the horse, the person who was swarming towards the city gate immediately dodged a road, and soon he saw someone.

It is Zhou Yunfeng, the young archery leader of the Hewu archery business!

Zhou Yunfeng looked at him with a smile, which made him feel a little furious - usually, this person was polite and humble when he saw him. Why did he look like this today?

When I looked again, I saw that there were no elderly, weak, women and children rushing into the city, all of them were young and strong!

"Zhang Bazhong"

Zhou Yunfeng spoke.

"I just received an order from the prefect to let all the young and strong people outside our city enter the city. If you want to return to the barracks, you probably have to wait for a while"

Zhang Wenyong calmed down.

"Since it is the prefect's rule, why are you so panicked?"
Chapter completed!
