Chapter 107
One day later, Hong Zhong announced Chen Xitian's several crimes in front of the main altar of the Sanyi Gang in Xinping Town, disguised him as Bai Yujing for many years, arranged for Yang Huaixiang to undercover the Sanyi Gang, poisoned Wang Pingan, and blamed the members of the Changkong Gang. Numerous facts have been made public.

Chen Xitian was hanged on the spot!

Although he did not disclose where the main body of his guards was until his death, in the Battle of Yuyuan Beach, someone in the confidant 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 two strongholds of the Haiyuan Gang in Shijiutuo and Xiangyun Island.

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

After Chen Xitian's death, the hearts of the Haiyuan Gang were dispersed, and Yan Long felt that this last battle could completely change the balance of power that had been there for many years.

During these nearly four months, the Shitan Town sub-helm led by Yan Long gained huge benefits in the battle to wipe out Chen Xitian's Haiyuan Gang.

Not to mention anything else, in the battle of Yuyuan Beach alone, the value of the property on the ship, equivalent to silver, reached as much as 86 taels.

Yan Long originally proposed to share the property equally with Hong Zhong's Sanyi Gang, but Hong Zhong refused. His reason was simple: as a thank you, I will also give you my share, please don't refuse!
One month later, the time came to September [-]th in the third year of Tianqi.

At this time, several major events happened in Daming.

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

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 whether his arrival would change history.

The system's answer is: definitely, because time and space have already changed.The gale started at the end of Qingping, and the butterfly effect he caused will inevitably affect the course of history.

Yan Long listened and smiled slightly.

This is exactly what he wanted. Didn't he come to this time and space just to change the fate and order?

Yang Youji's expeditionary force is back!

The spoils brought back from this last battle definitely exceeded the sub-helm of Shitan Town, and it can even be said to be the financial income of the entire Shanhaitang in Yongping Prefecture for a year.This is the second, and the most important thing is that this pursuit brought Chen Xitian's sea route and blueprint into the sphere of influence of Shitan Town's sub-helm.

Yan Long strikes while the iron is hot. He offers favorable conditions and sends people who are willing to go to Shijiutuo and Xiangyun Island to station there, and vigorously develop business routes with various places on the island.

After this battle, the prestige of the sub-rudder in Shitan Town was greatly enhanced, and the Haifeng Wharf was even more prosperous than ever.

There are more than 1 people under Yan Long's rule.

Among them, the fighters of Hailong Banner, Black Banner Arrow Team, Shenhuo Battalion, Feiyu Banner, Feiying Banner, and Huben Battalion accounted for three-fifths, that is, more than 6000 people.

Among them, the Sea Dragon Banner and Black Banner Arrow Team had the most troops.

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

The good things don't stop there.

Because the expedition fleet brought Yan Long something he had dreamed of.

——A sage stone weighing more than twenty kilograms.

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

Now that the material has been found, how to make it is another problem!
However, the transparent needle is now very handy, so Yan Long is not in a hurry.He received the Philosopher's Stone in his system backpack, and waited for the opportunity to forge weapons.

The people at the helm of Shitan Town are strong and strong, and their power is growing.After Cui Quanbin, the leader of the Xinqiao Gang in Luanhe Town, died of illness, his successor even led the whole gang to serve under Yanlong's banner.

Luanhe Town is also close to the sea, but unfortunately the coastline is not conducive to the berthing of large cargo ships, so it has been unable to open the sea route, so although there are many sailors in the gang, they have not been able to develop.

The surrender this time not only allowed Yan Long to get more territory, but also expanded the manpower of Feiyuqi by more than four times at once. The addition of a large number of skilled sailors can make Yan Long want to focus on operating two offshore islands. human support.

So far, the several places near Shitan Town are basically Yan Long's territory, or the "You Gang".

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

Wang Shuang hurriedly got up from the outside, his face was clouded and he looked very sad.

When Yan Long saw it, he asked, "Vice Steward Wang, what's the matter?"

Wang Shuangdao: "Helmsman, the caravans in Leting County are using various methods to target and suppress all the ship dealers on our docks!"

"Oh!" Yan Long frowned and asked, "How do you say that?"

Wang Shuangdao: "The caravan controls nearly half of the mule and horse carts in the horse market, and the passages leading to the main post road in several nearby towns are all built by them. Therefore, the ship merchants' goods have always been generally provided by their caravan's horse team. For transfer to various places, if the ship merchant has a cavalry team, he can pass through by paying a certain toll. These fees have always been very low. The ship merchant can fully afford it.”

After hearing this, Yan Long nodded and said, "Well, what about now?"

Wang Shuang shook his head and sighed: "Oh, everything has changed! Not only the cost of mules and horses has increased by fifteen times, but the toll has also increased by an astonishing 26 times."

The other people present all showed indignation when they heard this.

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

"The impact is huge!" Wang Shuangdao: "Although the gross profit of the ship merchants is good, the various expenses along the way are actually not light. This has not yet been official, and a large sum of money has been scrapped within the county seat. Who will replace it?" They will not be willing. So there are already ship merchants who would rather take a long way to go to the dock of the Red Gun Association in Changli County, a neighboring county, to unload their cargo. As a result, the business at our dock has dropped sharply. At least two-thirds."

Yan Long continued to ask: "Isn't the caravan usually have a good relationship with us? Why did it suddenly change face?"

Wang Shuangdao: "My name is Feiyingqi Sikongxing, and I sent someone to investigate, and the spies reported back that the caravan has changed its leader!"

"Change the leader?!" Yan Long frowned and said, "Where is the original leader?"

"He died suddenly last month, and now his sworn brother Shi Wenchong is taking over the leadership of the gang." Wang Shuang said.

Yan Long listened, and said with a smile: "It seems that the Shi gang leader has a lot of resentment towards our Changkong gang, and he didn't even say hello to the price increase!"

At this time, Yang Youji said to Yan Long: "Master, although there are a large number of caravans, most of them are porters on foot or drivers who drive mules and carts to escort goods, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. If we want to fight, there will be [-]% odds."

Yan Long said with a smile: "This is the last resort. Fight if you can't agree! Before fighting, sit down and talk. After all, they are raising prices on their own land. In principle, it is not crossing the line."

Wang Shuang nodded in agreement and said, "The rudder master is right. I'm familiar with the county, so I'll go talk to them."

Yan Long shook his head and said: "No, this time I will go in person. Dian Wei will go with me. You all stay at home and perform your duties!"

"Yes!" The crowd took orders.

Apart from negotiating, Yan Long actually has another plan in his mind: "After more than two months, according to the agreement, Jin Yiwei should have a message sent back to Chunlai Tea House. Taking this trip to the county seat, I will go to have a look!"

"Jinyiwei! Sooner or later, I will hold it in my hands!" Yan Long thought carefully about his next plan in his heart.
