Xiong Wencan did not raise any objections to Yu Xiaotian's request, as long as Yu Xiaotian didn't make too much trouble, and didn't drive the generals and fleet directly outside Guangzhou, as for occupying a deserted place, just occupy it! Anyway, after going back and clearing out the pirates of Liangguang, Yu Xiaotian is estimated to return to Fujian, and it will not be too late to take it back when the time comes.

But they couldn't imagine what Yu Xiaotian's idea was, as soon as Yu Xiaotian arrived in the Zhongmen area, he immediately started to build on the shore.

The pirates captured in the Battle of Daya Bay, this time Yu Xiaotian did not rush to transport them back to Taiwan Island as laborers, but got them all here, and used them all as coolies, so that they cut down trees on the spot, dug foundations, built walled walls, and circled the scale of a city on the ground in Tsim Sha Tsui, which was later Hong Kong, and sent people to start supervising the construction of a large fort here.

In addition, on the seashore, which was later known as Victoria Harbour, the construction of various wharf facilities and trestle bridges was built for future ships to dock and unload.

He had already planned to build a new city and a new harbor here, following the example of Wai Tau Bay, and using it as a base for him in Guangdong.

In the future, the merchant ships in Guangzhou will all go to sea here to trade, and they will not pay him, hum! Don't think about doing any more sea trading in the future.

After controlling the Pearl River Estuary, he will never spit out this area again, and Guangdong's sea trade has more unique advantages than Fujian's.

The entire merchant ships that go to the South Seas basically have to load their goods here, and they can start from the area of Guangzhou in order to have enough supplies and go to the South Seas to do business.

Every year, there are at least thousands of merchant ships gathered here, and the number of ships entering and leaving the Pearl River Estuary is at least more than 10,000, and the annual cargo throughput is so large that the numbers reach an eye-popping number.

These funds can be used by Yu Xiaotian to feed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and there is no problem in equipping more weapons and warships, so the real purpose of Yu Xiaotian's trip south is not to suppress bandits, but to occupy Hong Kong Island, and at this time Hong Kong Island is not actually called Hong Kong Island, and the locals mostly call it Aozhou.

It is precisely because Yu Xiaotian took a fancy to the unique geographical and hydrological conditions here, and decided to go south this time, first control this belt in his hands, and then gradually develop it into the largest import and export trade port in the south.

At present, Yu Xiaotian has achieved this goal, and then he will establish his authority here, and now the eight detachments he will send will go deep into the Pearl River Estuary to sweep up, in fact, it is to cooperate with the preliminary preparations he has made to control the sea trade in this area in the future.

Of course, the infrastructure construction here will take a long time, and the various conditions here are not as good as those in Weitou Bay for the time being, and now there are far from a large number of cargo ships loading and unloading goods here, and this process will take at least two to three years.

And during this time, it just so happens that the sea wolf wants to suppress bandits here, and use this time to improve the infrastructure here, this time difference is still quite appropriate, and when he manages this side well, it is estimated that it will be time to turn his face with Daming, and then Guangdong wants to go back to this area, then there will be no door at that time!

However, the construction of various infrastructure here requires a very large investment of manpower, material and financial resources, and Yu Xiaotian has already thought about it in terms of manpower, this time he will get a large number of prisoners of war in the south and Guangzhou, and these prisoners of war are the best human resources, and among these prisoners of war, many of them are vicious pirates, which is very suitable as consumables.

As for the financial resources, Yu Xiaotian will have a little pressure on his side, but at present, it seems that he can still hold on, but he is a little nervous, and it will not affect the overall situation.

Of course, Yu Xiaotian will not do this by himself, someone will be responsible for arranging it, and he plans to do most of the facilities in one step as much as possible, so after arriving here, he personally took it here, checked the terrain here, and asked people to draw a local map, mark the terrain, and make a preliminary plan, so that the subordinates in charge of construction will carry out detailed design according to the preliminary plan he gave.

In fact, this work will not be delayed for long, although he has just occupied this area, but in fact, two or three years ago, he has already sent people to this side to secretly conduct field surveys, and he has long been familiar with the situation here, and various planning and design schemes, as early as last year, have come up with several sets.

Yu Xiaotian came back from Denglai this time, he reviewed these plans, and preliminarily selected one of the plans that met his ideas, this time he just observed on the spot, and made some fine-tuning against this set of plans, and the construction department could soon adjust the original plan, and it could be put into construction immediately.

In terms of manpower, they are not short of manpower at present, the battle of Daya Bay has provided him with thousands of laborers, these thousands of people are temporarily enough, the basic wharf and trestle bridge and the construction of the fortress, these manpower is basically enough, in addition, he will also transfer a part of the construction craftsmen from the Taiwan side, responsible for commanding and supervising the construction of these coolies, as for the defense, he has just taken this area, he has already ordered the army side, a battalion of infantry to come here, responsible for guarding this area, and responsible for supervising the work.

At present, he has the support of Xiong Wencan and the imperial court, and the Guangdong military will not come to provoke him, the main precautionary is the coolies of the hard labor battalion that is being built here, as well as those pirates who have not been exterminated, the strength of one battalion is enough, and once there is a big trouble here, use the infrastructure here, these troops will hold on for a month without any problem, and then his Yujia army can send troops over to reinforce at any time.

In order to strengthen the defense force here, Yu Xiaotian ordered the one-eyed dragon to return and station a sea detachment of about twenty warships here, plus a naval shore artillery company, with such a force to guard this area, Yu Xiaotian can basically sit back and relax.

After Yu Xiaotian had arranged all kinds of things here, he stayed here for more than a month, and the eight companies that were sent to the area of the Pearl River Estuary basically ended the military operations in the area of the Pearl River Estuary after more than a month of busy work.

This time, Yu Jia's army went deep into the military operation around the mouth of the Pearl River, and after statistics, eight companies copied a total of more than 70 village forts, and the owners of these more than 70 walled forts were all local rich and wealthy and some squires, and most of them were notoriety in the local area.

All of them have colluded with pirates, and there are all human and material evidence, so they can completely confirm their crimes, although they have a lot of energy in the area of Guangzhou Mansion, and even the relationship can go directly to the Jingshi Imperial Court, but under the thunderous means of Xiaotian, they have no time to react, even if they have hands and eyes to the sky, there are people in the court, and they are beyond the reach of the whip at this time, and when their relationship above reacts, Yu Xiaotian has already done everything.

In this operation at the mouth of the Pearl River, the Yu family army captured thousands of prisoners in this area, including pirates, stubborn villagers, and family members and domestic slaves of these large families.

Not to mention the looted goods, which are piled up in temporary concentrations almost every day, carrying ships of goods to Hong Kong.

Seeing Yu Xiaotian making such a windfall, the local garrison was really red-eyed, and Yu Zehu, the garrison of Guangzhou, watched Yu Jiajun run rampant in his jurisdiction, first felt that his face was gloomy, and then saw that Yu Jiajun could not get so much wealth every day, so he was even more red-eyed.

So he finally couldn't resist this temptation, and actually dared to take dozens of warships and more than 1,000 soldiers and generals on the river to try to stop the ships of the sea wolves transporting goods and captives to Hong Kong, robbed a boat on the spot, killed dozens of Yu family army sailors, and tried to intercept more sea wolf ships.

This annoyed Yu Xiaotian, Yu Xiaotian immediately sent troops into the Lion Ocean at the mouth of the Pearl River, and found Yu Zehu's team of men and horses on the river.

Don't look at Yu Zehu is garrison in Guangzhou, and there are one or two thousand generals on hand, dozens of so-called warships, but when it comes to Yu Xiaotian's fleet, although it is only a small fleet, it is still a scum.

After the first battle, Yu Zehu was beaten almost to lose all his underwear, the so-called dozens of warships he brought, only two escaped back to Guangzhou City, he himself was not on the ship at the time, fortunately was not killed on the spot, and the rest of the officers and soldiers were slaughtered by the soldiers of the Yu family's army.

This time the matter was really troublesome, Yu Zehu was so frightened that he fled back to his home in the city, and wanted to run to Xiong Wencan to complain, but before he could go out and go far, he was hit by a bullet that flew from nowhere, and a shot hit him in the heart, he didn't even say a word, and fell to the ground and died on the spot.

His own soldiers didn't even find out where the gun sounded afterwards, and the master was killed in the city of Guangzhou.

An official immediately impeached Yu Xiaotian, saying that Yu Xiaotian used force against the Guangdong defenders without authorization, indiscriminately killed Guangdong officers and soldiers, and assassinated Yu Zehu, who was stationed at the garrison.

However, Yu Xiaotian took the lead and captured a few prisoners, sent them to Xiong Wencan, and also explained that Yu Zehu sent troops to intercept and kill his men and ships, and told Yu Zehu to be a thief and prevent him from suppressing bandits normally.
