Liu Haojia heard the sound of kneeling behind him, turned his head and glanced at the three of them and said, "It seems that you three still have some ideas and know that you can't escape, right?"
The three officers knew that nothing they said at this time was meaningless. They just kowtowed tremblingly and begged for their lives! Seeing their ugly appearance, the soldiers roared one after another! Hearing this sound, these three people were shaking even more fiercely!
Liu Haojia raised his right hand, and the soldiers immediately fell silent. They stared at Liu Haojia, wanting to see what kind of treatment he would give!
Liu Haojia did not disappoint them. He put down his hand and said: "You don't want to die, but do the soldiers who died fighting the pirates want to die? Do the merchants and sailors who were killed by the pirates want to die? So you also There is no need to beg for mercy, how to deal with you is clearly written in the national and military laws!"
The three of them were completely desperate after hearing what Liu Haojia said! Collaborating with the enemy on the battlefield is a serious crime no matter when it is done! So the three of them couldn't bear it anymore and started to cry loudly, and one of them simply kowtowed even louder and begged for mercy even louder!
Liu Haojia ignored them and shouted directly: "Huang Santong, Wu Wei, Zhang Xingguo, you three each led a team of people, ransacked their homes, put all the family members in jail, and took them away with them when they went to Beijing." Let the court deal with it!"
The three people named by Liu Haojia are all from the Nanyang Fleet. He didn't want to send people to the Beiyang Fleet to arrest people, and then be used by people with evil intentions to cause disputes between the North and the South. You know, the dispute between the North and the South has been around since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!
At the same time, the three people he named are all people he is optimistic about. Asking them to personally lead people to arrest their former colleagues will definitely have some subtle influence on the hearts of other Nanyang Fleet officers! And this influence will force them to actively move closer to Liu Haojia.
The three people stepped forward and agreed, then took the order and left the stage. Liu Haojia then said: "Li Wenliang and Zhang Zhiyong, you two personally led people to ransack the homes of two gentry families! One of them is in the city and the other is outside the city. Don't let any of them escape!"
After the two of them took the order, the servant stepped forward and took all the kneeling people down. Liu Haojia then calmly said loudly: "I know that there are still people who keep in touch with pirates. I don't know why. I think you have your own reasons! Some people do it for money, maybe for brotherhood, and others. There are all kinds of reasons! But I don’t care about these officers. If they are caught, they will be dealt with according to military law! But I am here to remind everyone that you are soldiers and they are thieves!"
At this point Liu Haojia paused and turned around again to look at the officers behind him. I saw that their faces had different expressions, some were calm, some were happy, some were blank, and some even though they tried hard to keep a straight face, there was still a hint of paleness on their faces!
At this time, Liu Haojia said slowly: "I will say it here once and for the last time! I can let go of the past, but if it happens again in the future, don't blame the ruthless military law! Disband!"
After the soldiers dispersed in anger for three days, they naturally returned to their respective posts to continue discussing today's events. Things like this don't calm down in a day or two.
At the same time, Quanzhou City once again fell into chaos! Because five families were raided at the same time, and four of them happened to be in Quanzhou City!
A large group of soldiers entering the city will naturally scare the world into chaos! But the only ones who were really in chaos were the gentry. Many people received the news that a large group of people had entered the city, and they thought they were coming to arrest them. In the end, when the news was confirmed, they calmed down in shock!
As for ordinary people who have had one experience, they can naturally guess what these soldiers are doing when they enter the city. So they all followed the team excitedly to watch and see something new!
After the four teams left the city, under the repeated requests of Magistrate Qian, the local generals still arrived at the city gate just after they left the city, perfectly missing each other! However, this time Magistrate Qian was much more courageous, and he actually dared to come to the Navy camp to ask questions!
But how could Liu Haojia allow him to be arrogant on his own territory? Liu Haojia slapped the confession directly on his face, and Magistrate Qian left in despair! As for whether he will vent his anger on the ginseng general after he returns, I don’t know!
But poor Qian Zhifu didn't know that what he did had offended everyone! He favored the gentry, but he failed to save the person who was captured! Therefore, the gentry thought that he was extremely incompetent and wanted to replace him with a more capable prefect.
And when he asked Liu Haojia for people, the ones he wanted were the pirate den owners with solid evidence, or the traitors who betrayed Paoze, which made Liu Haojia feel bad about him! Now both parties have made up their mind to impeach this useless money magistrate!
Early the next morning, Liu Haojia led the fleet to set sail. After regrouping off the coast of Quanzhou, the fleets went their separate ways, with four fleets heading north and two heading south.
When the fleet set off, countless people stood on the beach and cheered loudly, encouraging the soldiers to make new achievements and kill all the pirates! The gentry, on the other hand, hid at home and cursed Liu Haojia for encountering storms when he went to sea!
Because it is foreseeable that because of Liu Haojia's bandit suppression operations, all pirates along the southeast coast have ceased their activities and are hiding, hiding! Now the quantity of goods shipped by the gentry by sea is less than 30% of previous years!
As the saying goes, cutting off someone's financial path is equivalent to killing their parents! Now not only the gentry in Quanzhou, but also the gentry in the affected areas are quietly moving, preparing to give Liu Haojia the harshest blow in the position they are most familiar with, that is, in the temple!
Two and a half months later, six fleets were outside Dengzhou City, announcing the end of this unprecedented defense change! Liu Haojia not only captured a large amount of trophies and prisoners, but also improved the combat effectiveness of the navy, basically controlling the entire navy!
However, Liu Haojia did not stay in Dengzhou for too long. After he arranged the Nanyang Fleet and sent the remaining fleet to the south, he led a squadron north to Tianjin. This squadron will be stationed in Tianjin, and since he has not seen Miss Zhang for many days, he misses her very much!
After arriving in Tianjin at noon two days later, it was already evening after Liu Haojia finished his official duties, and he finally had time to rush home.
The news of the fleet entering the port could not be hidden from anyone, so when he arrived home, the housekeeper was already waiting at the door, and even greeted him loudly when he saw him! But he was not in the mood to pay attention to the housekeeper, so he just agreed and hurried to the back house.
