The Zheng family has been operating in Fujian for more than ten years, although Zheng Zhilong defected to the Qing Dynasty and was taken into house arrest in Beijing by the Qing court, but the prestige of the Zheng family in Fujian is still there, which is also the reason why Zheng Chenggong was able to use the two islands of Jinxia to confront Zhang Cunren, and hundreds of thousands of Fujian people can accompany him.

Although Wang Yan is famous all over the world, has a reputation among the gentry, and has a very high prestige, in the hearts of ordinary people in Fujian, he is still not as successful as the national surname.

Quanzhou suffered this military disaster, Zheng Chenggong killed all the prisoners, the river was red, undoubtedly won the hearts of the people in Quanzhou, but also to the Fujian people to declare his determination to resist the Qing Dynasty, as long as the Fujian people were oppressed by the Qing court in the future, the first person who wanted to take refuge was definitely Zheng Chenggong.

Wang Yan stood at the head of the city, remembering that when he rescued Longwu and him in the temple, Zheng Chenggong at that time was just a prisoner of the country with such enthusiasm, but in the past few years, he has experienced the defeat of Xianxia Pass, his father was cleared, his mother committed suicide, and after the Zheng family fell apart, he grew up rapidly.

While Wang Yanzheng sighed, a cavalryman rushed over and shouted: "Qi Guogong, Li Duzhen invites you to come over." ”

"Where is Li Guo now?"

"In the warehouse east of the city."

Wang Yan asked Li to go over to copy Zhao Guozuo's mansion, how did he go to the east of the city, he was puzzled for a while, but he still immediately went down to the city, and then turned over and got on the horse.

"You go and call Zheng Guo's surname and ask him to go to the Dongcheng warehouse as well." Wang Yan turned around and gave an order, then turned his horse's head and ran towards the warehouse.

According to the agreement, coupled with the results of the gambling fight, Wang Yan and Zheng Chenggong shared the benefits of the capture of Quanzhou this time, and as for the materials and money in the city, Wang Yan's troops counted them first.

When the two came to the street of the East Gate, they met a team of people and horses, and the first general was the general of the Zheng army, Gan Hui, Wang Yan saw it, and said with a smile: "General Gan, but you have built a full contribution?" ”

Gan Hui saw that it was Wang Yan and Zheng Chenggong, and the group hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and as soon as he waved his hand, his subordinates pushed forward the Qing general who was tied up with a large number of flowers and stuffed with a cloth ball in his mouth, and then saluted with a fist proudly: "Cabinet, the country surname Ye, the Qing general Lian Biao was beheaded by a certain formation, and the Qing soldiers who fled from the east gate were all killed. ”

"Haha~" Wang Yan praised and said: "General Gan, rest assured, when the book is successfully written, the cabinet will definitely protect the court and reward it." ”

Zheng Chenggong also said: "And first detain this thief, and then deal with it when the cabinet and the town return to the camp." ”

Wang Yan nodded, Zhao Guozuo is no better than an ordinary pawn, he knows many secrets of the Qing army, so naturally he can't be killed easily, Zheng Chenggong's words are exactly what he wants.

Gan Hui hugged his fists in response, Wang Yan and Zheng Chenggong immediately continued to move forward, the warehouse in Dongcheng was originally used by the Zheng family to store materials, and after Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, it was occupied by the Qing soldiers.

This warehouse battlefield is about 100 acres, surrounded by high walls, which can hold countless goods, Wang Yan and his party came to the outside of the warehouse, Li Guo immediately strode out, hugged his fists and saluted: "Cabinet, Zheng Guo's surname." ”

Wang Yan went straight to the topic, "How was the harvest?" ”

"Back to the cabinet department, Zhao Guozuo's family didn't have much gain, and this person was not prepared to defend it from the beginning, so he put all the money in the warehouse of this eastern city to slip away. It's just that we came too fast, so he didn't leave. Li Guole smiled and said: "After a rough count, there are about 300,000 taels of silver, 50,000 taels of gold, and 100,000 stones of grain. ”

In this way, silver and gold, plus grain and grass, are worth nearly one million, Wang Yan sneered: "No wonder Zhao Guozuo is hesitant, he can't spend so much silver in his life." ”

One million taels is indeed a huge fortune for Zhao Guozuo, but for Wang Yan, it is a little less, his first time, but he moved more than three million taels of silver from Quanzhou, plus hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass, and today's harvest has to be shared equally with Zheng Chenggong, and it is immediately thin.

"Is there anything else besides?" Wang Yan couldn't help asking.

Li Guo was stunned, "In addition, there are some porcelain and tea in the warehouse, and I don't know the market, so it's hard to estimate." ”

"Let's go, let's see~"

At that moment, everyone walked around the warehouse, the porcelain was placed in wooden boxes, stuffed with straw and straw, and the boxes were filled with two large warehouses, and the tea leaves were packed in bamboo tubes or clay pots, sealed and packaged, and placed together, layer upon layer, piled up like a hill.

These materials are estimated to have been originally intended to transport goods to Japan and Korea, but after the Qing army captured Fujian, Fujian's large-scale trade turned into small-scale smuggling, and the goods were backlogged here.

Seeing this, Wang Yan estimated in his heart that this batch of materials was probably worth 800,000 taels, and if it was transported to Guangzhou, he could earn at least four or five hundred thousand taels by changing hands, so he pulled Zheng Chenggong aside and whispered to him: "Chenggong wants money and food, or do you want supplies?" ”

To say that the tea and porcelain in this warehouse are also the things of the Zheng family, but now Wang Yan's words make it clear that these materials are included in the spoils of war, and Zheng Chenggong can't refute it, after all, Zheng Zhilong voted for the Qing Dynasty, and these materials were obtained by them from the Qing army.

At this time, Zheng Chenggong muttered, more than 400,000 soldiers and civilians on the two islands of Jinxia were waiting to be fed, and there was actually a lot of silver in his hand, although the materials could be made by selling them, but the money earned to buy grain must be much more expensive than the 100,000 stones, so he was equivalent to wasting his efforts.

Thinking about it, Zheng Chenggong decided: "I want money and food." ”

Wang Yan nodded: "This batch of materials, the pavilion is converted into 800,000 taels, the price of rice is 2 taels and 1 stone, the 100,000 stone grain, 50,000 taels of gold, plus 200,000 taels of silver, it belongs to Chenggong." ”

"It's all up to the cabinet department."

"Then the materials here will be decided for the time being, and the other harvests in the city will be discussed separately."

More than 6,000 Qing soldiers, who have been in chaos in the city for a few days, must have robbed a lot of property, and the Ming army searched and searched, and the officials in Quanzhou City who had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty before should also be able to loot a huge fortune.

Although it is certainly not comparable to Wang Yan's first move to Quanzhou, at present, even if he hands over a part of the imperial court, he has already made a small profit.

Laying down such a big city as Quanzhou will definitely not be without gains, but how much it is, it depends on how Wang Yan writes the excerpts.

This time, he decided to hand over 100,000 taels of silver to the imperial court, and the goods were transferred to the Jinghai firm for sale, and the silver money was used to reward and develop the equipment of the Five Loyal Army.

Wang Yan received the rights of the generals of the Wuzhong Army, recruitment, salary, etc., so he gave the officers a generous salary, which was several times that stipulated by the imperial court, but the military system and military salary of the imperial court did not change, so although the Wuzhong Army also took the salary of the household department, Wang Yan also paid them again.

After seeing the warehouse, everyone immediately went to the government, and on the way, Wang Yan instructed his subordinates to return to Guangdong quickly and let Jinghai Commercial Bank come to move goods.

Although Quanzhou was defeated, more than half a month had passed since the Ming army's eastward expedition, and with the time of previous preparations, it was impossible for the Qing court not to deal with it, Wang Yan estimated that the Qing soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River should also arrive in Fujian soon, and he did not plan to defend any city, so all the materials must be transported away.

At this time, as soon as everyone arrived at the gate of the palace, there was a sentry on duty who reported: "Guogong, there are more than a dozen Quanzhou gentry who asked to see them, and they were brought into the government by Mr. Chen. ”

Wang Yan smiled at Zheng Chenggong and said, "If you don't succeed, come with me and talk to them!" ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded, he will be mainly responsible for Fujian in the future, so the local squires in Quanzhou are still worth seeing, he smiled happily: "Then I will go with the cabinet to meet them!" ”
