The Ming army carried out a large-scale operation on the Fujian-Guangdong border in the area of Yunxiao Zhao'an, harvested a large amount of grain, and recruited local people to follow the army back to Xiamen. However, there are not many people who are willing to follow the Ming army, after all, the Chinese love complex is too heavy, and they are not willing to leave their homeland.

In this regard, Wang Xinyu first persuaded people to persuade him.

"Fellow fathers!" Luo Xiang stood on the threshing floor at the entrance of the village, "Our coastal area of Fujian was originally a rich land, although it is not as good as the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, but compared with the Central Plains and the Northwest, it is already much better!" As the saying goes, the mountains eat the mountains and the sea eat the sea, there are so many delicious fish in the sea, and there are endless shell sandworms on the beach, even if people can't eat them all, catch up with the pigs, those pigs who eat shell sandworms grow up, how delicious the meat tastes! Seawater can also make salt, which can bring wealth to everyone. But now, the Tartars do not allow their fathers and villagers to go to the sea! Even the seaside is not allowed to approach, so the sea with a large amount of seafood is wasted, but everyone lives a life without clothes and food! ”

Someone stood up and asked, "Master Jun, what good will it do if the villain goes with you?" ”

Luo Xiang replied: "At least we can ensure that you are well fed and clothed!" If you have passed, we can give you fishing boats if you know how to fish. If you don't know how to fish, I can take you to open up wasteland in the future, and the land that will be opened up is your own! ”

The conditions given by the Ming army were quite good, and many local villagers were moved and planned to go over to have a look. Anyway, I heard that the king of Yanping was not satisfied with the freedom of the people to come and go, and he would come back later. The disasters brought by the sea ban to these people, they deeply understand, rather than living here and living a life that is worse than pigs and dogs, it is better to go and see.

Wang Xinyu led the Ming army out this time, not only for the summer harvest, but also to send people to cut down some wood and transport it back. In addition to the cedar wood used to build the warship, it is also planned to cut down some old elm trees that do not need to be dried for three years to make fishing boats, and use it to solve the problem of food.

"You cowards who don't obey the king! Hugh is here to deceive the people! At this moment, a discordant voice sounded.

Luo Xiang turned his head, but saw an old Xiucai looking person, scolding in the back.

The old Xiucai didn't seem to finish speaking: "Fellow villagers, these Haikou don't accept the king, and they don't blink when they kill people!" In the first battle of Zhangzhou that year, the soldiers and civilians of Zhangzhou swore to resist the invasion of the pirates, and Zheng Wei actually lost his conscience and flooded Zhangzhou City! As a result, 700,000 people of our army and civilians were martyred! They are all loyal to my Qing court! Slaughtered by these pirates! Dear folks, fathers and elders, if you are bewitched by the bewitching of the sea kou, after you go, life will be worse than death! ”

The old fellow said, and bowed his hand to the north.

"What people! How dare you frame me here! What Zhangzhou soldiers and civilians died 700,000 people? There were 700,000 people in Zhangzhou City at that time? Bullshit! Only one roar was heard.

"General!" Luo Xiang hurriedly knelt down on one knee and bowed his hand.

Wang Xinyu walked up to the old Xiucai and looked at the sour old guy carefully, only to see that this guy was about forty or fifty years old, wearing a tattered gown, with a dish on his face, but he looked righteous and awe-inspiring, but the money rat tail on the back of his head made it seem that the so-called loyalty and righteousness in this guy's mouth were ridiculous.

Seeing a hint of murderous intent on Wang Xinyu's face, this old Xiucai chuckled in his heart, but saw a smile on Wang Xinyu's face. Although he still laughed, there was a clear anger in his eyes.

"Who are you? Why are you framing me here? Wang Xinyu asked.

Lao Xiucai held his head high, looking fearless of life and death: "I am a person from Cizao Fort in Zhao'an County, and Chen Lianghui is also!" Shunzhi eight years of talent! ”

"Hahaha!" Wang Xinyu looked up to the sky and laughed, "May I ask Mr. Chen how expensive this year?" ”

"Two out of fifty!" Chen Lianghui replied loudly.

"Hahaha!" Wang Xinyu leaned back with a smile, "Shunzhi has been a talent for eight years, that is to say, a talent from nine years ago!" You were a child until you were forty-three! Admire! Impressive! But nine years later, you are still a sour and rotten talent, and you haven't even been admitted to the exam! Why doesn't the Tartar court, which you are loyal to, pity you? ”

Chen Lianghui arched his hand to the north in a dignified manner and said: "Although I am not talented, I have not been able to learn to achieve a great cause to repay the emperor's family, but my loyalty to the imperial court can be revealed!" How can you allow Er and other beasts to trample on the king's law, bewitch the people, and fool the people of the Qing Dynasty? ”

"What a loyal Chen Xiucai!" Wang Xinyu sneered, "Tell me, how are we beasts?" ”

"If it is about to be peaceful today, the southwest traitor Li Dingguo is still breathing, and the thirteen families in Kuidong are about to be assessed by the imperial court! Just wait for the Haikou and want to fight against the imperial court! You did not accept the king's transformation and provoked years of war, resulting in the displacement of the people and the misery of their lives! You rebellious, disloyal, and unfilial pirates, are you worthy of your ancestors and saints? Today, I still want to deceive the people and deceive the people into leaving the country! Say in your own conscience, 'Are you pirates a bunch of beasts?' ”

"Sorry ancestor?" Wang Xinyu grabbed Chen Lianghui's money rattail braid, "Is it the ancestral religion that you keep this kind of braid?" Or did the saint teach you to wear this kind of braid? The Tartars shaved their hair and were easy to wear, ruining my Chinese mantle, but you and other villains, because their scalps were itchy and the river water was too cold, not only did they not die for the country, but they also took refuge in the Tartars! Are these ancestral religions? Tell you, those in the north are Tartars! It's the alien race that invaded my Huaxia! Only those of you who deceive teachers and destroy ancestors, forget your ancestors, and have no backbone will recognize them as masters and be willing to be slaves! ”

Chen Lianghui still had a hard mouth: "Although it is a foreign race, the thief rebelled and caused the death of my Ming Emperor!" These aliens avenge my Daming! It is the will of heaven that they sit on the world! However, you couges, under the pretext of supporting the hypocrisy, actually commit murder and robbery! ”

Wang Xinyu pulled his braid hard, dragged this Chen Lianghui to the ground, gritted his steel teeth, looked at this old Xiucai with gritted teeth, and suddenly roared angrily: "What did Tartar say to avenge my Daming? Shave your hair and obey the order, and the world will be full of smoke! The 10th of Yangzhou, the 3rd Massacre of Jiading, the Massacre of Suzhou, the Massacre of Nanchang, the Massacre of Ganzhou, and the 81st Day of Jiangyin, these are all acts of the Tartars to avenge the first emperor? What did the first emperor say before he was martyred? 'Let the thief divide the corpse, and don't hurt a single person!' 'But those Tartars used slaughter against my Ming people? And these sour Confucians, whose scalps are itchy and the river water is too cold, surrendered to the Tartars as soon as they turned their heads! If the first emperor knew in the spirit of the sky, his old man would definitely hate the sour Confucianism who did not kill all but knew how to betray the country and seek glory! ”

Whether Chongzhen is a good emperor or not, Wang Xinyu is not easy to comment, but Chongzhen at least has backbone, at least he is a good person. If Chongzhen exterminated the eunuch party, limited the power of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, led to the dominance of the Donglin Party, and finally destroyed the country, it can only be said that Chongzhen's political ability is still not good, and he does not know how to check and balance. But he is still a good person who loves the common people, although he is not a good emperor.

A young man stood up and asked, "Is it true that the Tartars slaughtered the people?" ”

"It's true! They are going to bring us to our knees with butcher's knives! You can also see the other side of the official road, because of the tragic situation caused by the sea ban! Wang Xinyu pointed to the desolation on the opposite side of the official road and said, "For the people who refuse to move, they have all laid down butcher knives, think about it yourself, are they even more ruthless to the people who resist?" ”

"My lord! The grass people want to join the army! Kill the Tartars and avenge the deaths of the people! The young man's eyes were already red.

"My lord! The grass people are also going to join the army! Please take us away! Another young man stepped forward.

More and more young people stood up, knelt on the ground, and clasped their fists with their hands: "Please take the grass people away!" ”

"Good! If you have the intention to kill the thief, that's a good thing! You're leaving, and you're welcome to bring your family with you! The Son of Heaven will not abandon his people! The king of Yanping would not bear to see the people enslaved by the Tartars! As he spoke, Wang Xinyu arched his hand in the southwest direction. Although Yongli has abandoned the country and fled abroad, Wang Xinyu still needs to say good things about him to inspire people.

"Long live the emperor! Yanping King Chitose! The people fell to their knees and shouted.

Looking at Chen Lianghui, who was limp on the ground like a dead dog, trembling all over, Li Rui asked, "My lord, what to do with this dog?" ”

"What to do? The best thing to do is to pull it out and slash it with a knife! Luo Xiang said angrily.

Who knew that Wang Xinyu said: "For this kind of dog, he is incompetent and pedantic, and the Tartar court looks down on him." If we cut him with a knife, we will instead let the Tartar court erect a monument for him! Isn't that cheap him? This kind of pedantic reader is all his life for a so-called name! This kid is not a greedy person who is afraid of death because the river water is too cold and has an itchy scalp, but he has repeatedly failed in my Daming Imperial Examination. When the Tartar came, he was admitted instead, so he was grateful to the Tartar court. We can't let him do it! ”

"What about that? Do you keep him? Isn't it a waste of food? Luo Xiang asked.

Wang Xinyu thought for a while and said: "Take him back, put him in a cage for people to visit, and use it as a negative teaching material!" In the future, we will go to Nanyang, and we will also bring the past, as a monkey for everyone to visit, to see how ridiculous this pedantic sour Confucianism is, and we can still collect tickets to make money, which is also considered waste utilization. ”

"Good! That's great! Luo Xiang and Li Rui both laughed.

Because Li Shutai was restrained by Zheng Chenggong, and Wu Liuqi refused to come to "rescue" Fujian, Wang Xinyu and they could still operate in the area of Yunxiao Zhao'an for a long time, and even sent troops to cross the water dividing pass, entered the territory of Guangdong and captured a few Zhuangzi. When the Guangdong Green Battalion arrived, the Ming army withdrew to Fujian.

The Ming army organized manpower to transport supplies back to Xiamen Island, and at the same time, they also went up the mountain to cut down a lot of timber and sent it to the beach to be loaded and brought back.

After this period of activity, the Ming army obtained a large amount of grain, cloth, timber, silver, iron ingots and other important materials. During this period of time, the shipping from Tongshan to Xiamen was busy, and a large number of collected materials were continuously sent back, and many people were persuaded by the Ming army to follow the fleet to Xiamen. Although not all the seized materials were their own, and many of them had to be handed over to King Yanping, Wang Xinyu and Chen Python made a lot of money on this expedition and added a lot of reserves to themselves.

In fact, for Wang Xinyu, the most important thing is population resources. During this period, in addition to the more than 10,000 Qing soldiers and Minzhuang who were captured, more than 30,000 people moved to Xiamen and Kinmen, so that Wang Xinyu gained valuable population resources.

Just when Wang Xinyu wanted to stay in Zhao'an Yunxiao for a while, a messenger came from Xiamen, saying that Zhang Shangshu had replied and asked Wang Xinyu to go back to Xiamen first to standby, and then go to Zhoushan.

After receiving the order of the king of Yanping, Wang Xinyu asked Chen Python to continue to stay in the Zhao'an Yunxiao area, and he returned to Xiamen Island with some sailors.
