Zhu Zhiguang kept the warehouse, leaving tens of thousands of stone grain, more than 30,000 taels of silver, more than 100,000 catties of pig iron, more than 10,000 pieces of cloth, more than 1,000 horses of silk, more than 2,000 quintals of raw silk, more than 6,000 quintals of tea, and more than 1,000 quintals of spices such as pepper, cinnamon, pandan grass, etc., and the most exciting thing is that there are more than 500 catties of the most valuable Hainan agarwood in the warehouse.

Hainan agarwood is a good thing, ordinary agarwood is almost one tael of silver, and if it is of high quality, the value of one coin is dozens of taels of silver.

Wang Xinyu called the head catcher over and asked, "Why did you Lord Zhu leave us a warehouse?" ”

The head catcher stared at Wang Xinyu with blood-red eyes and glared at Wang Xinyu: "Our Lord Zhu is a good official!" If you don't believe me, ask the people outside! If it weren't for you pirates! He won't die, my lord! Before the martyrdom, the adults also said that everyone is Han Chinese, and the warehouse will be left to you! I also hope that you can inherit the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty and restore the mantle of my Han people as soon as possible! ”

Wang Xinyu sighed and said, "Lord Zhu is indeed a good official, but General Ben also gave him the opportunity to join the Cheng Wang Division. However, instead of listening to good words and persuasions, he put up a stubborn resistance, causing a large number of casualties among the military and civilians. If Lord Zhu can open the city as soon as possible, there will be no disaster today. ”

"It's easy to say!" The head catcher said coldly, "The crime of losing the land in the imperial court is all over the house!" Moreover, if you are favored by the court, how can you easily betray it! ”

Wang Xinyu sighed and ordered: "Bury this Zhu Governor's Mansion!" ”

Li Rui was stunned, very surprised, and asked puzzledly: "Why does the general need to bury this second minister?" ”

Wang Xinyu said loudly: "This Zhu prefect is not my old minister of the Ming Dynasty, but a jinshi who took the imperial examination in the Tatar court, so he is not a second minister." After all, most of my Ming Dynasty has fallen into the hands of the Tartars, and we Han people have to live! The people who endure humiliation and steal the people who live under the iron hooves of the invaders are not traitors; Those who came out to become officials after the Tartars firmly ruled were not considered traitors. Only those former ministers of the Ming Dynasty who took the initiative to surrender to the enemy were traitors; There is also Liu Liangdong's kind, although he is not an old minister of the Ming Dynasty, but he is a tiger and is willing to be an eagle dog of the Tartar court, they are traitors! ”

Although Wang Xinyu has a bad history, he also knows that people like Zhu Zhiguang cannot be regarded as traitors. If Zhu Zhiguang is considered a traitor, then how will Lin Zexu, Zuo Zongtang, and Deng Shichang be counted later? They certainly can't be considered traitors.

Later, Wang Xinyu announced to those arresters and officials: "You Lord Zhu asked you to surrender to us, and now that you have surrendered, I will send you to Yanping Port." There's a need for little officials like you. As for Yulu, it will only be more than here, not less than here. For the sake of your loyalty to Lord Zhu, and you have not done anything bad, the reputation of the people is not bad, so although you are prisoners, the general will not punish you as coolies. But we have our rules, if you refuse to go to Yanping Port, you can no longer be a small official, and if you want to stay in Qiongzhou and refuse to go to Yanping Port, you can only go home and farm. ”

These surrendered officials, Wang Xinyu can't rest assured after all, it is impossible to keep them in Qiongzhou, and he has to appoint his own people here. If you send it to Yanping Port, you are far away in a foreign country, so you are not afraid that these people will have any different intentions. After a long time, they can integrate into their own Nanyang company, and then they can rest assured.

Most of the arrests were fast, and the officials expressed their willingness to obey orders. After all, Wang Xinyu's conditions are very good, and few people are willing to go home to farm.

But the catcher said, "My lord! The villain is not going anywhere! The villain is willing to stay in Qiongzhou to farm! ”

"Why?" Wang Xinyu asked.

"The villain is willing to guard the tomb for Lord Zhu!" Headcatcher replied.

"Good! That would have been promised! Wang Xinyu allowed it.

The capital city of Qiongzhou was taken, and there was no resistance left on Qiongzhou Island. Next, the Ming army was overwhelmed, annihilating the remnants of the Tusi forces on the island and seizing the entire territory of Qiongzhou Island.

After roughly estimating the entire territory of Qiongzhou Island, the huge Qiongzhou Island has only a population of more than 100,000 people, and most of the population is concentrated on the seaside. The central part of Qiongzhou Island is basically a desolate place with no people.

At this time, the letter of appointment issued by King Yanping to Wang Xinyu also arrived.

King Yanping appointed Wang Xinyu to be promoted to the commander-in-chief of Qiongzhou, and attached a letter to the appointment letter, which read: Wang Gongzi seized Qiongzhou, but he made a great contribution to my Ming Dynasty! But now our army is preparing to seize Dongfan Island, and there is not enough troops to send troops to Qiongzhou, so only Wang Gongzi himself defends the island. The island is too close to the land, beware of a Tartar counterattack. In addition, the prince seized Qiongzhou and killed the chief Gao Jinku The matter has been sent to the court, and the prince is invited to wait for the court to reward him.

After reading the appointment letter of King Yanping, Wang Xinyu thought to himself: He is now the chief soldier, and he has only been in this world for a long time! It's only been a year, and I've actually become a chief soldier! Although there are several admirals in the Zheng family's army, and there are even more generals, if he makes another great contribution, he will be the admiral, and such an upgrade speed is too fast.

Sent by King Yanping to Qiongzhou as the prefect was Fang Yizhi, who had recently defected to King Yanping. Because Wang Xinyu, a small butterfly, leveraged history, Fang Yizhi, an old minister of the Ming Dynasty, had already become a monk, but because the Heaven and Earth Society was established in advance, Chen Jinnan's activities found him. Fang Yizhi promised Chen Jinnan to contribute to the Zheng Jiajun and contribute to the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.

After Fang Yizhi defected to the king of Yanping, he was appointed as the prefect of Qiongzhou.

Originally, Zheng Chenggong wanted to send Zheng Xingying or Chen Jinnan to serve as the prefect of Qiongzhou, but later because Feng Chengshi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry who was secretly bought by Zheng Jing, slandered that Wang Xinyu was already too powerful, and if Chen Jinnan and Zheng Xingying were used, then they would not be able to control this person. Chen Jinnan and Zheng Xingying are Wang Yu's closest people, if one day, Wang Yu wants to change his flag and join the King of Jin, Chen Jinnan is obedient to Wang Xinyu; And Zheng Xingying is not to mention, he and King Jin are sons and daughters. In that case, Wang Yu may really go to the king of Jin.

Although they are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty, to be honest, Zheng Chenggong has always had a grudge against Li Dingguo. The reason is of course very complicated, on the one hand, Zheng Chenggong thinks that Li Dingguo is born as a thief, and on the other hand, Zheng Chenggong is loyal to Emperor Longwu, and Li Dingguo is from Yongli's side. Although Emperor Longwu has died, Zheng Chenggong has always been loyal to Emperor Longwu, and he is against Yongli.

If Zheng Xingying is sent to Hainan at this time, maybe it is not impossible for Wang Yu to be poached by Li Dingguo. But it is impossible for Zheng Chenggong to send Feng Chengshi, first, Feng Chengshi is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, much more than the prefect; Second, Zheng Chenggong was also worried that Feng Chengshi would be unfavorable to Wang Yu, but forced Wang Yu to Li Dingguo's side. So Zheng Chenggong thought of a compromise solution: send Fang Yizhi, who had just defected to Zheng Jiajun, over.

Fang Yizhi is an old minister of the Ming Dynasty, a famous man in the world, and is also known as Wen Tianxiang in the world, with a very high prestige. went to Qiongzhou, and in the future, he could be promoted to the governor of Qiongzhou, and with his prestige, he could also suppress Wang Yu.

A Daifuku boat stopped at the Haikou wharf in Qiongzhou, and a man about 50 years old walked out of the boat, wearing a Hanfu-style wide-sleeved robe, with a plate inch on his head and a ring scar on his head. This person looks extraordinary, with the appearance of a Confucian student. There was also a waiter, a few maids and a few attendants.

After the short-haired man, who looked like he had just returned to his vulgarity, got off the boat and went straight to the Qiongzhou Mansion.

When he arrived at the gate of the Qiongzhou Mansion, Zhu Yizhi saw that the gate was closed, and two Ming soldiers stood at the door.

Zhu Yi stepped forward and wanted to take people into the palace. Two soldiers came up at the door to stop them, and one of them shouted, "Who is coming?" This is the most important place in the government! No trespassing! ”

Fang Yizhi handed over the name thorn.

The soldier took a look and was stunned. Immediately, the two soldiers knelt on one knee and saluted: "I don't know that the prefect is coming!" Please forgive the villain's offense! ”

"Get up!" Fang Yizhi said.

The two soldiers stood up, and Fang Yizhi asked again: "What about your chief soldier?" ”

"Back to the prefect, our chief soldier has gone to Lingao to inspect the people's situation." One of the soldiers replied.

Fang Yizhi walked into the palace and asked the entourage to clean up. Seeing the messy mansion, Fang Yizhi felt that this was the moment to show his talent. The current Qiongzhou Mansion has just ended the war and is in a state of anarchy, and all the officials, petty officials, and catchers have been sent to Luzon Island by Wang Xinyu, and everything in Qiongzhou will start again.

There are no officials, no fast catchers, and no small officials, so they can only start recruiting people again.

Fang Yizhi was originally a member of the Donglin Party, and Zhang Pu, Chen Zilong, Hou Fangyu and others were equally famous, and Hou Fangyu, Chen Zhenhui, and Mao Bijiang were called the four sons of Jinling. After the eunuch party was eradicated by Chongzhen, Fang Yizhi and the Donglin party formed the Fushe, which is the meaning of preparing to revive the Donglin Party. Later, because of Zhou Yanru, the restoration society was not eradicated by Wen Tiren. After Zhang Pu's death, Xiao Donglin basically existed in name only. After the Qing army entered the south of the Yangtze River, the Fushe was divided, Chen Zilong and others were martyred, Hou Fangyu and others became ministers, and the rest of the people, some lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, some became monks, and some shaved their hair and became monks.

Every time he recalled that he was in Jinling, Fang Yizhi felt a pain in his heart. The four sons of Jinling back then can be described as suave. The famous Qin Huai Bayan, needless to say.

In Jinling at that time, the daily singing and dancing were leveled, and the literati chanted poems against each other, lingering on the banks of the Qinhuai River, and were favored by beauties. But now it is not what it used to be, and the great rivers and mountains have fallen into the hands of the Tartars. Thinking of the money rat tail and the tartar coat, Fang Yizhi felt very disgusted. He would rather shave his head and become a monk than have that ugly hairstyle.

Fang Yizhi found the Fu Zhi, read it roughly, and when he saw the back, he was stunned: Wang Yu solved almost all the toasts in Qiongzhou, some of the worse toasts were killed, and the ordinary toasts were also sent to Luzon Island. All the land was given to the peasants, and Wang Yu also promised to abolish the agricultural tax!

"How can this be true? Agricultural tax is the foundation of the country, how can agricultural tax be abolished! Abolishing the agricultural tax, where does the revenue from the treasury come from! Fang Yizhi said angrily.

Fang Yizhi continued to look down, and when he saw Wang Xinyu's record of increasing commercial taxes in Hainan, he was angry again: "Isn't this competing with the people for profit? You can't control how you come to Nanyang in an overseas land, but if you want to do something like this here, this official will not agree to be the first to do so! ”

Fang Yizhi also heard about Wang Yu's exemption from agricultural tax in Nanyang, he heard from King Yanping, Wang Yu opened a new model, even the peasants belonged to the Nanyang Company, which was used to compete with the foreigners' East India Company.

In fact, Fang Yizhi is not a particularly conservative person, he has come into contact with John Tong, and has also translated a lot of materials for foreign missionaries. After the Qing army arrived in the south, Fang Yizhi also borrowed 300 musketeers from Macao to resist the Qing. He knew a little bit about the situation of foreigners.

Therefore, when the king of Yanping told Fang Yizhi that Wang Yu had adopted a new model overseas, replacing agricultural taxes with commercial operations, Fang Yizhi felt that it was nothing. After all, it is an overseas wild texture, Wang Yuai tosses how to toss, get a company and compete with those red-haired ghosts, and the Taixi people.

But this Qiongzhou, but the place where the Ming Dynasty set up its capital here, is the land of the orthodox dynasty. Wang Yu took Qiongzhou, not for Nanyang Company, but for the king of Yanping. The territory laid for the king of Yanping is the Ming Dynasty, how can he be allowed to do such nonsense. If his method spreads and Jiangnan is recovered in the future, he will also adopt such a method, so that the state will not be able to collect agricultural taxes in the future, and the country's income will not be guaranteed. No, we have to talk to him! He must be stopped from doing this!

"When will your general soldier Wang come back? The magistrate is to interview him on important matters. Fang Yizhi asked a pawn.

The pawn replied: "Go back to your lordship, our lord Wang will come back in the evening, and he said that he will set up a banquet for you to catch the wind and wash the dust." ”
