On the morning of May 24, 1661, the 26th day of the fourth lunar month, Wang Xinyu's fleet arrived in Qiongzhou.

Wang Xinyu stood on the deck, and the Haikou Guardhouse in the distance gradually became clear. It is his own territory, and his wife and family will live there from now on. From saying goodbye to his wife and leaving Xiamen Island in March, to now coming to Qiongzhou, he has not seen his wife for more than two months, Wang Xinyu is a little excited.

However, after Wang Xinyu went ashore, he did not go home to see his wife first, but came directly to the yamen of Qiongzhou Mansion.

Along the way, whether it is Haikou City or Qiongzhou City, they are all under construction. Haikou City and Qiongzhou City will be connected together by the city wall, along the way there are forts, corner forts, fortresses, towers, arrow towers, the city is a combination of East and West, corner forts, fortresses and towers are all Western castle-like buildings. Each fortress was hermetically sealed, densely packed with open shooting holes. At the top of the fortress there are also battlements, female walls, which are attached to the outside of the city wall, and are higher than the city wall, which plays the role of protecting the city wall. Enemies attacking each section of the wall will be attacked by two fortresses at the same time.

Since the cement plant in Yanping City has begun to be put into operation, it is very fast to get here from Yanping City, and it only takes a week for ordinary cargo ships to arrive, which is a very fast transportation speed in those years. Bags of cement were brought over, and craftsmen pulled stones from the mountains.

With cement, the castle can be built much faster than before, and there is no need to consume grain such as glutinous rice.

When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Wang Xinyu dismounted. The people in the palace had already learned the news of Wang Xinyu's arrival, and the Tongzhi Lord took all the officials to greet him at the door. Seeing Wang Xinyu, Lord Tongzhi stepped forward and bowed his hand: "I have seen Lord Admiral in the lowly position!" ”

Although the Ming Dynasty was noble and martial, at this time in fact, the status of the military generals was already very high, not to mention that Wang Xinyu's first-grade martial arts position was much larger than the five-grade civilian position of Tongzhi. Therefore, even the most famous people have to salute.

"It turned out to be Mr. Park An, who has admired the daimyo for a long time!" Wang Xinyu hurriedly returned the salute.

Walking into the mansion, Wang Xinyu saw the prefect Fang Yizhi.

"Wang Junmen wants to know about the immigration situation, please go to Ertang with Zhizhi!" Fang Yizhi asked Wang Xinyu to go to the back.

Inside the government office. The lobby where the gate comes in is the place where the court is promoted to handle the case, and the officials are in the lobby on weekdays, and only when they meet a lawsuit, try a case, and the prefect gives an order, the prefect will sit in the center of the lobby. Usually, the prefect and the same people are in the second hall to deal with documents and files.

The two walked through the large courtyard behind the government and walked into the second hall of the prefect and the same office.

After Wang Xinyu sat down, he took out the documents on the immigration situation during this period of time and presented them: "The documents are all here." Please take a look at Wang Junmen! ”

Wang Xinyu opened the document on the immigration situation and saw that it read: From before the Chinese New Year to May, the Heaven and Earth Society has been operating along the coasts of Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Shandong, and a total of more than 30,000 people have moved to Qiongzhou, including more than 6,000 people brought back by Wang Xinyu when he attacked the Guangdong Navy Division of the Green Camp Qing Army. More than 30,000 immigrants, more than 10,000 of whom have been sent to Luzon, and the other half are temporarily staying in Qiongzhou.

"We've only emigrated more than 30,000 people in just over six months, at this rate. In ten years, only more than 600,000 people could be immigrated, plus the original population of more than 100,000 in Qiongzhou. There are more than 100,000 Han Chinese in Luzon and Borneo, totaling just over 800,000. These more than 800,000 people have deducted women, children, old and weak, and there are 200,000 men! It is impossible for all of the 200,000 men to join the army, and we can only raise an army of 70,000 or 80,000 men at most, and after deducting the 20,000 navy, the army will only have 50,000 or 60,000. Wang Xinyu is clearly not satisfied with the speed of immigration.

Mao Bijiang smiled bitterly: "I can immigrate 600,000 people in ten years, I can only think about it!" Since the beginning of May. The Tartars carried out a cruel order to move to the sea, so there were very few immigrants in May, and we lost 53 members of the Heaven and Earth Society, but sent 700 people! At such a slow pace, it is possible that less than 10,000 people will be migrated a year. It is already the sky to be able to migrate 100,000 in ten years! Moreover, we have to lose internal responses to immigrants, and if we emigrate, we will lose 7,000 or 8,000 elite internal responses. ”

"That's not going to work!" Fang Yizhi didn't know when he walked into the second hall, "At this speed, when will the Northern Expedition be possible?" I have to wait to find another way, how can I be trapped on an isolated island all the year round. ”

"In this way, I will find a way to open up the way to connect with the southwest, and unite the Jin King and the thirteen families of Kuidong." Wang Xinyu replied.

Who knew that Fang Yizhi opened his mouth and said: "Then Li Dingguo and the Thirteen Kuidong families are born as anti-thieves, and it is better to send someone to persuade Wu Sangui to abandon the darkness and surrender to the Ming Dynasty and be loyal to my Daming." ”

At that time, Wu Sangui had not killed Emperor Yongli, and many of the former ministers of the Ming Dynasty were still full of hope for Wu Sangui, thinking that Wu Sangui was desperate and would defect to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Later, because the Manchu Qing Dynasty borrowed a knife to kill people, put Wu Sangui's army in front and consumed it with the Liukou, resulting in the loss of Wu Sangui's lineage, and the Qing court took the opportunity to mix sand into Wu Sangui's army, so that Wu Sangui could only follow the Qing court.

Wu Sangui did not slaughter the city and slaughter the people like King Sanshun and Hong Chengchou, and he had a good impression on the old ministers and remnants at that time. Only Wang Xinyu knew in his heart that Wu Sangui was actually a villain who went back on his word. Those remnants of the old subjects all thought that as long as the time was ripe, Wu Sangui would definitely do it anyway.

Later, Wu Sangui was indeed anti-Qing, but that was also forced by Kangxi, if it weren't for the fact that Wu Sangui was anxious by cutting the domain, this traitor would not have rebelled against the Qing until he died.

However, Wang Xinyu felt that he could still send someone to talk to Wu Sangui, not expecting him to do it anyway, but only hoping that Wu Sangui could understand the truth of raising Kou's self-respect. Thinking of this, Wang Xinyu said: "I can send someone to find Wu Sangui and talk to him, maybe we can really open a new way." ”

"That's right! Wu Sangui was only forced by the rogues to surrender the Tartars as a last resort! Fang Yizhi nodded.

Wang Xinyu plans to send someone to find Wu Sangui, but who to send to find Wu Sangui? He didn't want his brother in life and death to take this risk, in case he didn't negotiate and was slashed by Wu Sangui, wouldn't he lose a brother in vain? After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Xinyu thought of one thing: Can he send someone to start with Wu Sangui's military advisor Liu Xuanchu!

Speaking of Liu Xuanchu, Wang Xinyu still knew this character in a pigtail play that he watched in his previous life to praise Kangxi's merits, Liu Xuanchu was originally the guest of Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, but later he was defeated and had to surrender to Wu Sangui. But he has always been very resolute in his opposition to the Qing Dynasty. If a breakthrough can be opened from Liu Xuanchu, there may be hope that Wu Sangui will follow his own advice: raise your own respect, don't be too heavy on Li Dingguo's remnants, and maybe you can save Yongli's life.

In addition to Wu Sangui's side, there is also very important news: Shang Kexi is crippled, and his son Shang Zhixin is likely to come to Guangzhou to succeed the vassal king earlier than in history.

Thinking of this, Wang Xinyu told Fang Yizhi and Mao Bijiang and said: "I thought of a good way: we can open a gap from Liu Xuanchu. As long as he can convince him, he will definitely have a way to convince Wu Sangui. ”

"That's a good idea! This Liu Xuanchu surrendered to Wu Sangui later, but he was very much used by Wu Sangui. After all, Fang Yizhi is one of the founders of Nanming's intelligence department, and he is still very well-informed about all kinds of information.

In addition, Shang Kexi has been abolished, and his son may come to Guangzhou in advance to succeed him as the new king of Pingnan. We can still figure out a way from his son. Wang Xinyu said the second thing.

"Shang Kexi's son?" Fang Yizhi shook his head, "This person is cruel and tyrannical, we don't want to be in the company of such a wicked person!" ”

Wang Xinyu said: "It's not for company, it's for temporary use!" Wait until we succeed in the Northern Expedition, and then get rid of this man. ”

Although this method is a bit despicable, it is not too much to use any method to deal with Shang Kexi, who caused the Guangzhou Massacre, and Fang Yizhi knows very well that Shang Kexi is a person, so he does not feel that there is anything wrong.

"In addition, we have already asked someone to talk to over there in Xiangshan County, and that guy promised us that as long as we give him enough benefits, he can let our goods cross the sea into Xiangshanao. It's just that there is a trouble, Zhang Guoxun is staring at it relatively hard, I'm afraid it's not easy to do. Mao Bijiang said.

"There's no hurry!" Wang Xinyu said, "When Shang Zhixin comes back to the south, we will start directly with him." At that time, we don't have to worry that Zhang Guoxun won't open a channel for us! ”

"The Tartars have begun to implement the relocation order, will we still move the people during this time?" Mao Bijiang asked.

"If you don't immigrate for the time being, heaven and earth will lose a little bit! Wait until the joints are cleared before making plans. ”

It was close to noon, Fang Yizhi greeted: "Since Wang Junmen is here, why don't you go home after lunch?" ”

"Two, Ben will be waiting at home, I won't accompany you today, tomorrow night, Ben will have a banquet in the largest restaurant in Qiongzhou, I don't know what the two of you think?" Wang Xinyu was anxious to go home to see his wife.

"Good! That's it! Fang Yizhi said with a smile.

After leaving the palace, Wang Xinyu took a few personal soldiers back to the Qiongya Town Guard's Mansion, which was temporarily used as the Admiral's Mansion.

Thinking that he was about to see Liu Er, who was about to meet him, Li Rui was excited, and he walked a little flutteringly.

Luo Xiang gave Li Rui a burst chestnut: "Li Rui, look at your virtue, it's really unproductive!" Big man, all day long, put his mind on a woman! ”

"It's men who want women, unless you're the father-in-law of the palace!" Li Rui retorted unrelentingly, "I heard that Madame has set up a women's barracks, when you see them, don't look straight in the eyes!" ”

Walking to the gate of the town guard mansion, Wang Xinyu found that there were actually two young female soldiers standing at the gate of the mansion! The two looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, a female soldier with a little baby fat, a round pink face, and large eyes; The other female soldier had a goose-egg-shaped face with a little freckles on her face, but she was very attractive.

When the soldiers saw the two beautiful female soldiers, their eyes stayed on the two female soldiers for a while and refused to leave, and the two girls lowered their heads in embarrassment.

"Look at your virtue! That's all you have to say! My eyes are straight! This time, Li Rui rewarded Luo Xiang with a burst of chestnuts.

"The master is back!" As soon as he arrived at the door, a servant of the house went in to report it. (To be continued......)
