Zhang Heng led people to the island to arrest and exterminate the pirates, while Li Jun led two large ships to patrol the outer sea for surveillance.
Seeing a sea ship escaping from Liu Dao, Li Jun immediately led the sea ship and rushed over to prepare to seize the ship.
Unexpectedly, the ship stopped before it even got close, and soon a white flag of surrender was raised.
Although the task was completed, Li Jun was still a little unhappy.
Hook the pirate ship with an iron hook, the big ship approaches, put up a wooden plank, and Li Jun leads the people onto the pirate ship.
As soon as he saw Li Jun, Chen Hong took Chen Lan's head and said flatteringly: "I don't know if it's the leader of Liangshan.
The younger one is called Chen Hong, but he was ordered by Brother Zhang Shun to cooperate with Liangshan to capture Chen Lan."
Look at this evil thief, this is the thief’s head.”
Hearing Chen Hong's words and looking at Chen Lan's head in his hand, Li Jun felt sick.
Li Jun also heard from Zhang Shun about Chen Hong.
When Zhang Shun visited Chen Lan that day, he realized that Chen Hong was a greedy villain.
After Zhang Shun sneaked onto the island today, he immediately instigated this person to rebel.
Chen Hong immediately sold his cousin Chen Lan for three hundred taels of silver and acted as Liangshan's internal agent.
Although I don't like Chen Hong's character, if it weren't for him, it would not be easy for Liangshan to eradicate Chen Lan and Wanbao.
Li Jun waved his hand and asked Chen Hong to get down, out of sight and out of mind.
Compared to Chen Hong, Li Jun was happy to harvest the ship intact.
As the leader of the navy, who would think that he has too many ships?
A two thousand stone ship is much more useful than a small fishing boat.
Li Jun happily escorted the ship back to the fishing village.
Chen Lan is dead, Wan Bao is dead, Wang Gang is dead, and all the pirates who have been doing evil in Liudao are dead.
Now Liu Dao has been completely controlled by Liangshan, and some people want to take advantage of the chaos to escape on fishing boats.
But not long after they went to sea, they were captured by Li Jun and his men who were wandering the sea for surveillance.
Except for a very few people, most of the pirates were captured by Liangshan.
Most of the pirates died in the firefight, and all those who survived were taken prisoner.
There were about 160 people.
A total of 29 complete fishing boats and 2 sea-going ships were captured.
In addition to the 4,000 taels of silver that Shi Jin initially gave to Wang Gang and Wanbao, nearly 3,000 taels of silver were also found from the homes of the black dragon Chen Lan, Fan Tianlang Wanbao, and the Diao-eared tiger Wang Gang.
Among them, the black dragon Chen Lan accounted for more than 2,000 taels.
After completely controlling the pirates on the island, Shi Jin led several leaders to land on Liu Island.
Looking at Li Shi and Chen Hong standing in front of him, Shi Jin said: "I will give you fifty taels each.
You can take your family and leave.
Never return to Liu Dao again in this life."
When they first saw Shi Jin, Chen Hong and Li Shi were both frightened, wondering how Shi Jin would treat their two spies.
Now I heard that not only did he get fifty taels, but he was also willing to let him go.
Chen Hong and Li Shi shouted excitedly when they heard it, "Master Xie Shizhai, Master Xie Shizhai, the younger one will definitely get away!"
Chen Hong and Li Shi took the money, fearing that Shi Jin would regret it, so they packed up their luggage and took their family on a fishing boat and left on the same day.
With so much money, why would you want to be a pirate?
Of course, I want to buy a few acres of land, build a big house, and live a happy life.
Seeing Chen Hong and the others leaving, Zhang Shun said in confusion: "Brother, why did you let those two guys go?
Wouldn't it be better to kill them with one knife?"
Shi Jin shook his head and said, "It's not worth spreading.
Who in the future will believe our words and be willing to be our internal correspondent?"
"Oh" Zhang Shun responded with half-understanding.
After letting go of the two internal agents, Chen Hong and Li Shi, the other prisoners were not so lucky.
Those who committed the most heinous crimes were immediately hanged, while those who committed less serious crimes had to work as coolies, building camps and docks.

As for the old and weak women in the three villages who cried bitterly and knelt down to beg for mercy, Shi Jin didn't take it seriously.
No matter what the cause of death was, they brought it upon themselves.
When you become a pirate, how can you not have a few lives in your hands, and they might be innocent.
Since I chose this path in the first place, I should have expected the ending like this.
Shi Jin didn't care about their begging for mercy at all.
He didn't kill them.
He was already wide-ranging and expected to be forgiven.
The fierce fighting started in the early morning and continued until dusk.
Only then did the Liangshan Army completely take over Liu Dao.
The sun sets and the sea shines with golden light.
In a simple thatched house at Liudao Port, the Eight Immortals table was filled with rich seafood-flavored delicacies, which were captured by the Liangshan Navy sailors just today.
These seafood flavors don't use much seasoning, but the umami flavor alone is the most delicious dish.
The sea breeze blows into the house through the thatch, and drinking white wine and eating seafood has a different flavor than usual.
Shi Jin caught a big lobster.
With a twist of his hand, he tore open the shell and took a big bite, eating the white and tender lobster meat.
While eating, he said: "Now that Liu Island is under our control, in the next period of time, this island will be managed by you brothers."
Li Jun asked: "Brother, how should we manage this island?"
From the beginning of the plan to capture Liu Dao, Shi Jin had already thought about how to manage and develop Liu Dao.
Shi Jin put down the big lobster and said: "There can't be so many people living in Liangshan.
I will move the excess people here.
You first build a few camps on this island to accommodate these people.
Then build salt fields and shipbuilding workshops." , warehouses and these” Yantian Li Jun asked: "Brother, I know what this camp, shipbuilding workshop, and warehouse are.
But what is this salt field and what is it used for?"
Shi Jin thought for a moment and said: "Maybe you don't understand the explanation.
Wait until tomorrow, I will ask people to build a salt field, and you will understand."
The next day, it was dawn.
Shi Jin took Zhu Wu and Li Jun to a flatter beach.
The Liangshan navy drove the original pirates with knives, bulldozed the beach with long wooden boards, and then used pebbles and sand to pile up the beach and divide it into sand pools like rice fields.
There was no water pump or overturning "keel waterwheel", so Shi Jin had to ask the pirates to fill barrels with seawater and pour it into the salt field.
When the seawater in the salt field can soak the palms, stop pouring seawater.
Shi Jin asked people to sit in the thatched cottage and wait.
Li Jun and others looked at the salt field and then at their eldest brother Shi Jin who was resting aside.
They had no idea what he wanted to do.
It's summer now and the sun is strong.
By the end of the day, the sodium chloride in the seawater in the salt field has reached saturation.
Shi Jin asked someone to remove the sand and gravel from a corner of the salt field, and seawater saturated with sodium chloride immediately flowed into the barrel from the gap.
Shi Jin then asked people to pour the seawater into a stone trough.
After being exposed to the sun for half a day, the seawater in the stone trough gradually precipitated salt.
Waiting anxiously until evening, Li Jun and others looked at the white layer outside the stone trough.
He stuck a little bit of it with his hand and put it in his mouth to taste it, and there was a sudden bitterness on the tip of his tongue.
He opened his eyes, pointed to the coarse salt on the stone trough and said, "Brother, this method of making salt is great.
It is much easier to boil salt, and the output is much larger."
Shi Jin nodded and said: "Of course it is a pity that Liudao is a bit small after all.
I am afraid that at most it will only be about 200 acres of salt fields.
In this year, it will be able to produce one million kilograms of coarse salt."

I heard Shi Jin say that these two to three hundred acres of salt fields can produce one million kilograms of coarse salt in a year.
The mouth opens wide.
Zhang Shun tugged on his eldest brother's clothes and said, "Brother, how much would you get if you sold these one million kilograms of salt?"
When Li Jun and Zhang Heng heard this, they made a quick calculation in their minds.
As soon as he did the math, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhang Heng said tremblingly: "I'm afraid there will be one hundred thousand taels of silver in this year."
Shi Jin said calmly: "Calm down, this is how high the sales may be in one or two years.
You don't even think about it, this method of drying salt is not difficult.
Don't let anyone tell it, as long as someone takes a look, you can Understand the mystery of it.
Once it spreads to ten, it spreads to hundreds.
Everyone starts drying salt in this way.
When the production of salt increases, the price will naturally become cheaper.
Then it will not be that good."
Li Jun said: "Although that is the case, as long as we occupy a few more islands and expand the salt production area, we can still make a lot of money."
Shi Jin looked at Li Jun and said, "Do you think the imperial court will allow you to dry salt and sell it easily?
Don't forget, this salt and iron are government-run.
If the imperial court knew that we were making private salt, I'm afraid they wouldn't let us go."
"this" He holds a high position in Liangshan.
In addition to the public expenses of this private salt, he has his own share of the remaining money.
If the imperial court takes back all these salt fields, it will be like cutting off their flesh.
Thinking of this, Li Jun secretly made up his mind.
In order to avoid losing my money in the future, I have to do everything possible to persuade my eldest brother to rebel.
Anyway, the officers and soldiers themselves have seen it before, nothing more than this.
This uprising does not seem to be very difficult.
As long as the eldest brother is not the emperor for a day, these properties will be very unstable.
If the eldest brother becomes the emperor, although it is impossible to share all the income from the salt field with the brothers.
But if you have made great achievements, you should be able to ask your eldest brother to give you several hundred acres of salt fields.
By then, it will be one hundred thousand taels of silver a year.
This requires a big house to hold so much money.
Not only Li Jun thinks this way, but Zhang Heng and the Tong brothers also think this way.
